Twisted Fate (1)

 

After the conversation, the two wasted no time in going to the hall of Bai Ga Ling and Bai Ga Huan.

After Liu Xuehua explained the whole situation, Mu Jin first talked about the plan he had in mind.

"I'm wondering if I could use a carrot and a stick at the same time."

"I've never heard of carrots and sticks."

Hearing that the clever Bai Jiahuan was hearing it for the first time, Mu Jin almost looked momentarily embarrassed.

'Are carrots and sticks a Western proverb?'

Mu Jin wondered in his heart how to explain this, but Bai Jiahuan and Bai Garyeong didn't need such an explanation.

"But I think you know what I mean..."

"(Eun Wei Zhu Xing)" ·

Mujin had to ask a question in response to their answers.

"What do you mean by the Silver Guard?"

"Eunwei literally means to show grace and dignity together."

"Oh! That's how I thought it was."

"If you don't join the alliance, are you trying to pressure the Zhongnan Sect to be destroyed by the Huashan Sect and the Anti-Shaolin Alliance in the future, and at the same time promise a sweet future?"

"You guessed it right. White Confucius· If you join the alliance, I think you should make a proposal to transfer all the wealth and vested interests of the Huashan Sect to the Zhongnan Sect if the war is won."

"It's quite common in wartime, but it's also useful. A promise to destroy each other together and then plunder the offerings and share them."

Liu Xuehua was surprised to see the two of them quickly exchanging opinions, as if they had kissed each other from the beginning.

Apart from the expression "parallel to the benign position", it was not such a big deal to use conciliatory and hard-line measures at the same time.

It was also a method that she had often used as a merchant.

But that's just after recognizing the situation and thinking about a solution.

"How could you just listen to the explanation of the situation and immediately come up with the same solution as Monk Mujin?"

It wasn't easy to think of it as soon as I heard it.

And most surprising of all...

"Where did Monk Mujin get such a person?"

The biggest surprise was Mujin, who was able to find the talent that had been buried in the wilderness.

The famous Yu Fei invited the teacher Gong Ming, who was buried in the grassland, to visit the Three Tombs, but at least Zhuge Gongming was a person who was known as "Waryong Bongchu".

But her surprise was a little premature.

"Tribe· Predictable·"

"I'm sure you're saying that this is something that the other side can fully expect..."

The two of them even pointed out the shortcomings of Mujin's scheme to the horror of hearing the story.

"Hmm· You can predict it, but is there anything you can do about it?"

"There's a good chance they're going to throw the sweet bait just as we do. Let's form an alliance with each other to strengthen the rear, and then together we can destroy the Shaolin side and share the benefits."

"Would Zhong Nanfa, who is not on good terms, believe the words of the volcano?"

"Even if you don't believe it, if you're greedy, you'll get over it."

"What do you mean?"

"Can you think of destroying the Shaolin alliance and then going on a war of attrition instead of sharing the profits?"

"Oh..."

While Mu Jin burst out with exclamations, Bai Jialing and Bai Jiahuan continued.

"The Theory of Inability to Arise (機不可設)"

"The theory of non-existence is an expression from the Thirty-Six Precepts, and to explain it briefly, it means that the enemy's movements cannot be arbitrarily created by us. People's psychology is so diverse, so if the Zhongnan Sect is greedy, or if the temptation of the volcano is strong, then the Zhongnan Sect may be overcome."

"What do you think should be done?"

"It would be nice if you could add a trick to Monk Mujin's schemes..."

"You mean the tricks?"

"Yes· It's best if they don't have an alliance, but if they are enemies of each other, it's not bad if they distrust each other. If that were the case, even if Zhongnam crossed over to that side, he would not be able to trust the Huashan Sect and would have no choice but to leave his troops on Zhongnan Mountain."

After listening to Bai Jiahuan's explanation, Mu Jin thought for a moment.

"Half-hearted schemes won't help..."

Even if Jongnam and Huashan had a mutually distrustful relationship, Mujin felt like a failure the moment Jongnam crossed over to his alliance.

In the first place, Mujin's true enemy was not the Anti-Shaolin Alliance, but the Divine Heaven forces that were lurking behind him.

I didn't want to see someone in Shaolin die fighting the political warriors who were playing like puppets.

So, in the end, there was only one thing that was needed.

"The volcano and the bell are the bait that could become the enemies of the crippled heaven..."

Originally, in the development of the novel, Zhongnan Sect and Huashan were supposed to become the enemies of the Heavenly Empire in a few years.

Right now, they just think of each other as bad neighbors, but in a few years, the Huashan Sect was going to turn into a robber-killer who robbed Zhongnan Sect of all its wealth and killed his disciples.

'If you tell me this is going to happen in the future, it won't work. One minute? It wouldn't have happened without foreshadowing that it was going to happen in the future, right?'

Mujin's mind, which had gone so far as to think, began to draw out the contents that had been buried deep in his memory.

The event that led to the downfall of the Jongnam sect · And it was only later that it was revealed that the incident itself was a trick prepared by the Huashan Sect and Shincheon.

I don't think that incident has happened yet.

'Aren't we already ready by now?'

If only we could find proof!

"Lord Sulwha... Could you please investigate the Manshang Gate in Shaanxi Province?"

"All Things?"

"Yes· There may be manuscripts of Jongnam Gumbo there..."

"Jongnam Gumbo? What's that?"

"The characteristics of the Zhongnan sect's sword methods and the gumbo in which the sect method is used..."

“!!!”

Martial arts are the foundation of the school of culture.

If it was a gumbo with such martial arts characteristics and a method of destruction, it could be said that it existed to annihilate the sect.

Of course, if he became a master above the realm level, he would reach a level where he would not be bound by herbivores, but no matter how prestigious the great sect was, the number of masters of that level was limited.

Naturally, at some point, the number of Zhongnan disciples who intervened in the secular conflict and died in battle increased rapidly.

Only later did it be discovered that the gumbo had been spread by the Mansangmun and exterminated them in the Zhongnan Sect, but by then the gumbo had already spread too widely.

And it was the Volcanic Sect that drove a wedge into the slowly debilitating Zhongnan Sect.

It was only later discovered that the gumbo was created by analyzing Jongnam's sword technique together with the volcano and Shincheon, which had been living in the same area as Jongnam for a long time.

Man Shangmen was also a servant of the Divine Heaven.

"Could it be that the gumbo has something to do with the volcanic waves?"

"To be precise, there is a connection between the volcano and the force of the Shincheon that I mentioned earlier."

"In that case, as long as you can find the gumbo through the Manshang Gate, it will be a good idea to attract the Zhongnan Sect to the alliance!"

While bursting out with exclamations, Bai Jiahuan realized something strange and asked Mu Jin.

"But how could you know such a great secret?"

Mu Jin, who hurriedly rolled his head at Bai Jiahuan's surprise question, succeeded in coming up with a pretty good answer.

"It was written in a classified document that I stumbled upon while following their trail in Guangxi Province."

Everyone knows that he has been playing a game in Guangxi Province, so his credibility will be overflowing.

'I'm going to have to use it often, right?'

For Mujin, who was trying to figure out how to explain what he had seen in the novel, it was nothing more than an imputation.

* * *

About two months after Mujin started muscle rehabilitation.

"Are you leaving?"

Liu Xuehua asked Mu Jin, who was just getting ready to leave.

"I'm not fully prepared, but I can't keep dragging the tide, so I'm going to have to step up now."

I've been in bed for half a month in a state of fainting, and I've been bedridden for a month.

For a month and a half, I didn't even eat properly, let alone exercise, and the amount of muscle I lost was tremendous.

It was a long way to recover in just two months, but his body still remembered it to some extent, and he managed to get it back at least partially.

"The lack of muscle strength can only be made up for by the increased internal attack for the time being..."

While Mu Jin was thinking about it, Liu Xuehua spoke to Mu Jin.

"Then I'll have to get ready and go back to Henan Province. Negotiations with the Zhongnan Sect are also coming to an end, so I'm thinking of going with Bai Sozer and Bai Confucius..."

Within a month and a half of Mu Jin's information, Tianliu had finally succeeded in finding Zhongnan Gumbo at Manshang Gate.

In the process, the performance of Baek Ga-hwan and Baek Ga-ryeong was indescribable.

Based on the reports of the Tianyu Sect and the Shaolin people who were running in the field from afar, they read the opponent's numbers and freely unfolded hard-line and conciliatory measures against the Zhongnan Sect, and engaged in a tug-of-war with the Huashan Sect.

However, convincing the Zhongnan Sect was also half a deception, drawing the enemy's attention there, and investigating the Mansangmun Gate behind the scenes, saving the realm of the Sheng Dong Xue.

On top of that, he used a complicated scheme to find and pull Jongnam Gumbo out of Mansangmun.

"After all, I'm glad you found Bai Ga Huan and Bai Ga Ling..."

If it weren't for them, he would have had to go to Shaanxi City himself and run around the scene.

If that had been the case, he might have had a problem with the delay in what he was trying to do.

But that didn't mean they were alone in their work.

"You've been through a lot. If it weren't for you, things probably wouldn't have been so easy."

The next thing that troubled me was Liu Xuehua.

This was because it was a kind of intermediate point that was coordinated so that information could flow as quickly as possible between the site and the Baekgahwan.

In the first place, none of this would have been possible without the intelligence and financial power of the Heavenly Stream.

Mu Jin thanked the class leader, and Liu Xuehua smiled softly and replied.

"I think I should go back and introduce Bai Sozer and Bai Confucius to my father and the elders of each sect. They think I'm a genius because they think I came up with everything."

Mujin smiled at her joke as she threw it one last time before parting.

She knew that she had been misunderstood because she cared for Mujin. In order not to let the Shaolin know about Mu Jin hiding here.

"I'll just settle one last thing, and I'll be back in Henan Province soon."

In fact, there were quite a few things I had in mind when I left Shaolin this time.

Baiyang Gate and some of the bases in Shincheon that appeared in the novel.

A place where children are brainwashed and taught martial arts, or a place where children are kidnapped and abducted like a gang of thugs. A place where goods are stored and moved, such as the North Wind Stamp Station, etc.

He had planned to travel to those places, but this injury had taken him away for nearly four months, so he was going to leave the last thing he had put off.

Mu Jin, who was thinking about the things he had originally planned to do that he couldn't handle, suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Xuehua.

"Oh, and have you heard anything from Zhuge Sega?"

"Zhuge Sega, do you mean Miss Zhuge Jinxi's inspection?"

"Yes..."

"I didn't come here. And now that the Zhuge family is openly lined up on the other side of the line, wouldn't it be hard for her to send an inspection?"

"It's going to be hard, but on the other hand, if she comes to visit, I think it will be an opportunity to win over the Zhuge family to our side."

If Zhuge Jinxi was alive, it would have been before the Zhuge family was handed over to Xinchen.

In other words, the reason why the Zhuge family stood on the other side of Shaolin was simply because of the favor with Shaolin and the shaman. It meant that it had nothing to do with Shincheon.

It was difficult to deal with Shincheon, so if he could attract them to the same side rather than deal with them, it was profitable.

However, this is only Mujin's point of view, who knows the future in the novel. Apparently, Liu Sulhua didn't seem to have much of a impact on the story.

Liu Xuehua replied that it was Mujin's request, so he would grant it.

"I see. If by any chance Miss Zhuge Jinxi comes to visit, I will deliver it to Monk Mujin without delay. Shouldn't I know where he is going?"

When asked where Mujin was going, he replied with a faint smile.

"It's a place called Tianxi Gate in Hubei Province."

Mujin's Final Purpose·

It was to change the future of Dowolcheon.
