Political Affairs (2)

 

Some of those who had gathered at the Wudang for the establishment of the Political Affairs League left the Wudang Mountain.

All of them, except for about fifty shamans, were left at Wudang Mountain to rebuild buildings and walls that had been destroyed in battle, and the Qingshui dojo was also left in the shaman for the practice of the closed hall.

And it wasn't much different from the other schools.

He didn't know when he would be attacked by a divine heaven like a shaman, so it would be risky to send out a large number of people blindly.

The Sichuan Tang Family, which suffered greatly from the war, and the Zhuge Family, which had already suffered to some extent from the civil war before the Zhongnan Sect, decided to send only about fifty people to Hunan Province.

The Tang family, the Zhongnan sect, and the Zhuge Se are fifty and fifty each.

He was going to send about a hundred people from Shaolin to lay the groundwork for the new Meng.

In addition, it was decided to join the members of the Wulin League who had been captured by the Wulin League in the past who had realized the truth about the Blind Zhu Wei Zhi and repented of their past.

And among those who headed to Hunan instead of returning to Shaolin were Mu Jin and Mu Qing Mu Gong.

"I'm on the mountain..."

Mu Gong, who had heard what had been said at the meeting, let out a deep sigh.

It's a small heaven, it's a thousand swords, and there's a mysterious master who murdered the one of the three swords in the world, the Taiji Sword Ship.

He was clearly getting stronger, but the level of the masters he had to fight was getting higher and higher.

"I don't think there are any more masters like that left in the Divine Heaven, do you?"

"Hmm . . . I don't think so... If I did, I wouldn't have to fight behind the scenes like I do now."

The purpose of Shincheon is to create a new imperial family beyond the Wulin clan.

"At least you won't be able to deal with the Imperial Army and Wulin at the same time, or you won't be able to go head-to-head with Wulin and then deal with the Imperial Army one after the other..."

Even with that, Mujin swallowed the negative words in his heart.

"On the flip side, it means that you have enough strength to take on at least one of them alone."

Mujin, who had thought about it so far, realized an important fact that he had been missing.

"But why do they care about the Imperial Family and hide their power?"

It wasn't a question of purpose.

Considering the power that had been revealed so far, and the power that was hidden in it, the power of the Divine Heaven was immense.

Still, they were so concerned about the Imperial Family that they couldn't hide their power.

"Do you know exactly what the Imperial Army is capable of? Or are you just being careful just in case?'

There was no specific indication of the strength of the Imperial Army.

All that is widely known is the seven-hundred-thousand-strong army guarding the borders.

Then there were the alumni of the Imperial Family's direct subordinate unit, the Golden Guard, or the Inspection Corps, which was made up of eunuchs.

However, the existence of the Golden Chair and alumni is only known. The exact number and power are unknown.

There were many rumors that there were alumni and masters on the Golden Throne, but I didn't know what the level of them was.

When Mujin was thinking about such a question... Mu Qing said with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that 'Inju' who murdered the elder Taijiku Sword Sun?"

"Come to think of it, you said that there is a separate person with a higher rank than the lord..."

It was one of the pieces of information he had found out while interrogating the lords and subordinates of Shincheon.

"Lesser Heavenly Lord Lesser Heavenly Ruler Isn't there a landowner?"

At the words of Mu Gong, Mu Qing gave a stunned expression.

"Doesn't the name of Heaven and Earth seem too much? Endless Death Penalty ·"

"Is that so?"

Mu Gong scratched the back of his head nervously, but Mu Jin felt that there was a possibility.

"In the first place, it's a secretive organization that hides its identity, so it doesn't need to be named. I don't have to introduce the name of the organization to anyone. The name of the organization itself is like a cult, but is it sincere that it is a job title? It's not their rank that matters..."

At Mu Jin's words, Mu Qing and Mu Gong looked at him.

'Yes... The most important thing is not the title, nor is it the reason why they hide their power."

Mu Jin gathered his thoughts and said in a calm tone.

"Whether it's a Heavenly Lord or a Lesser Heavenly Owner, whether it's a Landlord or a Landlord... At the end of the day, it's a fundamental problem that we need to get to the point where we can fight them and win."

After all, Wulin is a world of strong existence. So, in order to deal with them, they fundamentally needed to be strong.

‘··· They all got stronger faster than they did in the novels."

Zhuge Jinhui, who had never appeared in the novel, not to mention Gu Yang and Dao Yuechen, and the Qingshui dojo, which had almost no weight, were also growing rapidly.

On top of that, there are also martial arts and martial arts that have never appeared in the novel. And even Mukyung, who was a villain who appeared and disappeared for a while.

Awakening from Mujin's body and being busy for the past few years was certainly not meaningless.

But on the other hand, the more he interfered with their plans, the more quickly their bodies were revealed.

Although Gu Yang and Dao Yue Chen had reached a higher level than they would have originally reached at this time, they were still not enough to reach the level of the completed Heavenly Demon and the Emperor in the novel.

If so, in the end·

"We have to make up for what we lack."

Himself and the Threesome of Warriors· In particular, he needed to make up for it because he had earlier the incident.

If you have a problem·

"Now I'm almost at the limit of how much I can cultivate..."

Mujin's strength has already reached a level close to the limits of human beings.

He has a moderately muscular physique due to the efficacy of the Jade Kumgang Gong, but in fact, considering Mujin's strength now, he is more than capable of becoming a muscle monster that is close to a cube.

"You have to maintain the perfection of your body and refine your martial arts."

Mujin thought of the impermanence priesthood that Hyunkwang had left him as his last gift.

Mujin's impermanence was not complete. Compared to what Hyungwang was doing, it was child's play.

The only problem was that it was impossible to extend the same impermanence of the Hyungwang.

To be honest, it was such a lofty realm that I still didn't know how to unfold it.

Instead, Mujin set himself the target of a slightly lower realm.

"Still, the practical experience wasn't meaningless."

There was a problem that I realized while fighting with the fierce lord Wei Jihak and the Little Heavenly Lord.

I don't know if it's possible, but Mu Jin thought that if he could solve the problem, his martial arts would take a step forward.

* * *

After several days of repeated movements, they arrived in the vicinity of Dongzheng Lake.

"I've been waiting for you..."

And it was Liu Xuehua who greeted them at the Virgin Lake.

Before he could tell the Tianliu Merchant that he had decided to establish the Meng, the Tianyu Merchant purchased a large manor located on the outskirts of Dongjing Lake.

In addition, the nearby land had been purchased and additional construction had begun.

The interior of the manor was to be slightly modified and used as an inner hall, including a kind of main hall, and a new building and a large wall were to be built nearby to use it as an outer hall.

The manor and the surrounding area went around the grounds, and when Liu Xuehua finished giving a rough explanation, Xuanchen, who had become the first lord of Meng, smiled softly and said,

"Hehehe... You're in great debt to the top of the heavens..."

Liu Xuehua replied with a gentle smile that didn't show any of his past timidity.

"Ho Ho Ho · Debts· I don't think so. It's our top 'investment.'"

"If it's an investment, do you want to get paid later? Hehehe..."

"Of course... Since we have made such an investment, we hope that in the future, after the completion of the building, all the food ingredients, clothing, bedding, and other daily necessities used in the field will be exclusively traded by our Tianryu Merchant Company."

"Hehehehe... Don't be too ripped off by us Murim people because they're weak in counting..."

"We don't make money in such a despicable way."

After a short conversation, the two looked at each other and smiled faintly.

The elder Chen knew that Liu Xuehua's words were meant to ease his burden.

Even if all the necessities of life purchased by the Meng were purchased from the Tianyu, it would not be comparable to the amount of money spent on buying such a large land and manor and building a new building for the Meng.

In addition, the necessities of life are the things that must be purchased in the end. It was just a matter of spending the money that should have gone out anyway.

After a brief explanation, I greeted the lord of the Beast, Hyuncheon.

Following Liu Xuehua's instructions, the Tianyu Merchant workers led the warriors to a resting place.

Mujin also went to his assigned place to rest for a while. A visitor came to his place.

"Monk Mujin· Are you inside?"

He knew who the other party was just by the way he approached his place before he could hear the voice, so Mujin replied in a calm tone.

"Yes· Welcome in· Lord Sulwhath·"

As soon as Mu Jin replied, the door of the residence opened calmly, and Liu Xuehua walked in with a dumbfounded expression.

"It's been a while..."

"It seems that Monk Mujin is so busy that it's really hard to see his face..."

It was a slap in the face, but Liu Xuehua had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was not a thorn, but a hint of mischief.

‘··· Certainly·'

It had changed beyond what it used to be. It meant that he had changed, but he didn't mean it in a negative way.

She used to be a timid schoolgirl, but now she has become a mature member of society.

In the first place, he was two years older than Mujin, but this was only his physical age.

From the point of view of Choi Kang-hyuk, who was thirty-seven, she met for the first time and was just a female "child".

But now I felt like an equal adult.

Mu Jin replied with a gentle smile.

"Hahaha· I've been busy, but isn't Master Xuehua just as busy as I am?"

"That's hard to deny..."

Mujin asked her again as she replied with a soft smile.

"Honestly, I'm worried that you're overdoing it..."

"You don't have to worry about that. Thanks to the exercises that a kind person taught me, I didn't get tired even when I tried to get tired. Sometimes, when I have too much to do, I'm like, 'Oh... If I faint and collapse, I might be able to rest for a day or two?'

Mujin smiled sweetly.

He knew very well who was the kind person who had taught her the sport.

"Do you still exercise regularly?"

"Of course... It's one of the businesses I'm in charge of, and it's a musculoskeletal clinic, but if the manager is flat, it can't be a business, right?"

Saying that, Liu Xuehua proudly raised his sleeves to about the bottom of his shoulders to show his biceps.

Her confident demeanor alone made her look like a completely different person from her past, but perhaps because of her occupational illness, Mujin took a closer look at her forearms than her attitude.

"I feel like you've been really consistent. Hahaha·"

It wasn't a bulky muscle, but it was a lean, toned forearm.

It was so balanced that I wanted to show it as an example to the female members who came to the gym.

Liu Xuehua, who was looking at Mu Jin's tone and expression, laughed faintly.

"Really... Monk Mujin's love for muscles has not changed."

Mu Jin smiled and scratched his head at her words, and Liu Xuehua lightly joked.

"It's not just my arms that I've been managing consistently. I want to show you my abs and thighs, but I can't do that to a man who is out of town. No matter how much the monk Mujin is the one who only makes an objective 'evaluation of muscles'..."

"Ahem..."

Mu Jin cleared his throat and turned around.

"It wasn't just my health that I was worried I was overexerting myself. I wondered if the Heavenly Stream was going too hard to help us."

Instead of answering Mujin's question right away, she suddenly took out two pieces of gold from her pocket and put them on the floor.

"Currently, the Middle Kingdom is divided into two factions. It's the Monk Mujin and the Divine Heaven that you decided to create. There are also the Apostles, but in the end, they are just the knacks of the Divine Heavens."

Mu Jin nodded without saying a word, and Liu Xuehua continued.

"We had three options. Holding the strings of the political alliance, holding the strings of the gods, or adhering to neutrality."

“··· Are you saying that the Heavenly Stream only chose us among them?"

"Yes... As a merchant, it's one thing to take the safe route, but when you need to gamble, you have to gamble. Of the two options left..."

She said, pushing away the money she had pointed to a moment ago, referring to "Divine Heaven."

"It's such dirty money that I'm sure you'll come back in anger in the future."

"Dirty money..."

Mu Jin muttered to her, and Liu Xuehua laughed softly.

"It may seem ridiculous to monks that merchants hide their money, but we also think that it is the last line."

"Ahem· That's not what I meant..."

"I know. Monk Mujin isn't the kind of person to do that... It's just saying it to yourself. We didn't just make money doing good things."

Saying that, she gathered the money she had put on the floor and put it back into her pocket, and she said again.

"They may use force to protect what belongs to us, or they may harm others, but they don't do it to take what belongs to others. They buy and sell a variety of things to make a profit, and sometimes they are ripped off or bought at low prices, but at least they don't sell human trafficking or drugs. That's the last line set by our Heavenly Stream."

Mujin nodded in understanding instead of adding katabuta words to her words.

Liu Xuehua, who was staring at Mu Jin with a serious face, smiled softly like a mature merchant and threw a joke at him.

"That's why we chose the Political League. So please do your best· If the Zheng Mu League wins this war, I hope that we will also be able to share the beans and be reborn as the number one in the world, not the Great Brigade of the Heavens."

Mu Jin understood that her last words were a joke meant to lighten the mood, so he replied with a light smile.

"Hahaha· I'll do that."

It was a strange feeling.

As he had experienced something similar to a confession in Jiangxi Province in the past, Mu Jin felt a little burdened when Liu Xuehua came to him.

So, when we first spoke, I was trying to make a grave face and tone, but now I was laughing genuinely and comfortably.

It felt like she was leading the conversation more maturely than he was, who had lived until thirty-seven as Choi Kang-hyuk before he woke up in Mujin's body.

It was a matter of course.

Choi Kang-hyuk as a member of society was a mature man.

From the time when he was the strongest hyuk to the years when he woke up and worked without a blast.

He had been single for well over twenty years.
