Chapter 64 – Heavenly Demon Goddess (4)
Heavenly Demon, Cheonweigang.
I don’t even know anything about this guy.
Except for the fact that it was just before Cheon Ha-Yeon, the former Cheonma.
In the first place, not much information was revealed even in the game.
It was unclear whether he was even alive or dead.
“I’ll tell you in advance, you cannot inherit Protestantism by becoming my disciple. The position of minor teacher has already been confirmed. Also, I will not pass on the Heavenly Demon Art. It would be impossible anyway since there is a learned mental method.”
“I know.”
There is Cheon Ha-yeon, but I did not want to inherit such a complicated organization. Even if you didn’t have the Heavenly Demon Art, the Unicorn Art was enough.
“No, you don’t know.”
“…I will listen.”
“As the headmaster invoked the decree of the Heavenly Demon, he designated a candidate for a priestess. They even said that he received a new disciple of terms and conditions without a basis. Maybe the principal has gone insane. These are rumors that will spread in the future. Do you know what this means?”
“You mean there will be wanderers from within?”
Chen Weigang nodded her head calmly.
“Yes. Compared to Cheon Ha-yeon, my daughter with a firm foundation, a new disciple who came from somewhere. Doesn’t it look good to hold and shake? Many giant demons will see you and keep their eyes on you.”
“Then, even if you don’t make me an official disciple…”
“My seat is every thousand. Are you saying you hide like a rat because you’re afraid of something like that? It can’t be.”
Tian Wei Kang sighed softly. I don’t know how it happened, but it was as Chen Yugang said. The moment I became a disciple of the Heavenly Demon, it was the same as saying that I would enter the middle of tough Protestant politics regardless of my will.
Even so, the gains were too great.
No matter what you do, there is bound to be some level of risk.
In the end, I’ll just have to behave well.
“I’m just following the will of the headmaster.”
“It was a sound that was applied to the obvious mouth. Follow me.”
From the top floor of the building to the basement of the lowest floor. I rode the elevator that only the leader could use and moved at once.
“Can I ask you one question?”
As I looked at Chen Wei-gang’s broad back, a question suddenly came to my mind.
“Tell me.”
“Isn’t there a possibility that I’m a member of the Blood Religion or a member of a political faction?”
“Is it difficult to understand why you were allowed to be accepted as a disciple?”
“…That’s right.”
“This is a request with the Heavenly Mountain Goddess Ball. Protestantism’s wish for hundreds of years has come true, so it’s not difficult for my disciples. If you are a member of a blood religion or political faction, you will expose your tail anyway. Then go and punish him and that’s it.”
Chen Wei-gang said in a calm tone. As expected, it seemed that he had a merciless personality, whether it be a disciple or not, just like the saying that he was not bound by personal affections.
“Also, you don’t seem like the kind of person you would be.”
In addition, an unexpected compliment was added.
After going down to the basement and walking for a while, a huge cavity came out. It was a combination of a natural cave and an artificially created underground facility.
“Don’t be fooled, just look at my back and follow me. It’s dangerous to miss.”
With a warningheheaded forward without hesitation. I followed carefully behind him.
Again and again.
Heavy footsteps echoed along the wide basement walls. Suddenly, a cloud of hazy clouds gathered around me, limiting my vision to the extreme.
‘Truth.’
It was also a massive break-up. I feared that even Chen Wei-gang would be missed if I was aloof, so I followed with my full concentration.
After walking for some time, the fog gradually faded and the oriental-style building came into view.
There was even a pond with a well-kept garden around it.
As I said, this place was ‘underground’.
From the ceiling, only a soft, not very strong light shined down, adding a sense of mystery to the space.
Above all else, in Cheonma Shinkyo, which pursues something modern, it seemed as if only this place had moved the past as it was.
“This is an investigation match. Purify your clothes and come in.”
As Chen Wei-gang said, he straightened his clothes once.
I took off my shoes and carefully moved my feet inside. A thick incense smell and a pleasant woody scent. It felt like being in a temple.
As soon as I entered, I saw an altar with the ancestral tablets of successive Heavenly Demons centered around the ancestral tablet of Sicheonma, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Church. The incense wafted up from the dust-free altar.
“Do you know about the Gubajirye?”
“I know.”
In fact, we do not know the origin of the original aid. Bondi Gubaejirye is a way to post nine examples.
In the Moorim War, it was a way to bow three times each to Josa-ya, Saya, and Sabu, so it was much easier.
“Sit down.”
Chen Weigang flapped his long robe and sat in front of the altar. I went to his side and knelt on his knees.
“Do you even know how the people of the world refer to us?”
“Yes. The lord of the celestial demons and celestial spirits. Isn’t it?”
“Right. The end of the Cheonhama Festival. To be precise, it means only one martial art.”
“Are you talking about the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art?”
“Yes. Only the Heavenly Demon Goddess can be called that.”
It’s an extremely arrogant declaration, but the owner of the Heavenly Demon Religion fully deserves to say such a thing.
“Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Singong is a supreme martial art that is not allowed to be mastered by two people in one generation. Even if I wanted to pass it on to you, I can no longer do it.”
…So some of the ballots in the second half were played.
Should I call it arrogance? In this part, it should be said that it is a tightly blocked group.
If you don’t have a reserve, the risk of loss is bound to increase.
Heavenly Mountain Goddess was probably put into practice for a similar reason. It is amazing that the spirit of the Heavenly Demon God has continued until now.
Chen Weigang, who looked up at the spirits of the Heavenly Demons of the past for a moment, continued.
“The disciple and teacher are like the relationship between parents and children. Once a bond is established, it cannot be separated easily like parents and children. You will have to keep that in mind.”
“…Yes.”
“Then, from now on, we will begin the Baesajirye. First, bow nine times toward the ancestral tablets of the Heavenly Demons of successive generations.”
“Are you talking about number nine?”
“Yes.”
Just as Chen Weigang said, I got up from my seat, stood facing the mortuary tablet, and began to bow slowly.
“Listen while bowing. Our Cheonma Shinkyo was different from the general Moorim group from the beginning. After Sicheonma invented the Cheonma Singong, our Cheonma Shingyo was created when the one-person tradition embraced the weak who fled to Cheonsan. It means that from the beginning it was a gathering of the weak.”
Five times, six times… I continued to bow. Chen Weigang also spoke in a low voice.
“Most of the Heavenly Demons of the past were the same. Of course, I have no choice but to know the etiquette of Confucian scholars. That is the reason why our Gubaejirye is different from others. However. Even though I didn’t learn it, I had ears to hear, and I thought it was bowing nine times because it was said in the world. The only temple I know is the number of times I see often, so nine times of the number of times. That is our rite of worship.”
Last nine times.
After bowing, he stood up.
“Next, look at me and bow nine times.”
As I had done with the mortuary tablet, I started bowing while looking at the Tianwei River this time.
“When I arrived at Protestantism, I probably thought of this. It’s a mess. It is a group without coherence. That’s right. All happy people are happy for similar reasons, but all unhappy people are unhappy for different reasons. We’ve always wanted to speak for the unfortunate, so maybe it’s a mess.”
The corner of Chen Wei-gang’s mouth, which came into view with a glance, drew a gentle arc. He seemed like a cold-hearted person, but I wonder if he was able to make that kind of expression.
“It is not always right to be Protestant. If that were the case, there would be no way that the darkness called Blood Religion would have been born from us. In the first place, where would there be an absolutely right group in the world? The important thing is to grit your teeth and correct them and get up again, even if you make a mistake and get wrecked, even if you have a han that collapses due to diarrhea. That is the spirit of Protestantism, and it can be said to be the foundation.”
Widely. Finally, after bowing nine times, I got up from my seat.
“So, disciple, don’t think too strangely. Like our Gubajirye, Protestantism is only a little different.”
“I didn’t find it particularly strange.”
“That’s it. With this, I will end the baesajarye. From now on, call me Master.”
“Yes, Master.”
Master. It was inexhaustibly awkward when I tried to spit it out through my mouth. It seems that my hands and feet are a little numb.
“Tsk, it’s complicated. It took too long to accept Baekdo’s child as a disciple.”
…It was clear that there was a certain amount of warmth in her voice until just now, but it quickly changed to the cold tone she had before.
Even the beautiful smile hanging from the corner of her mouth earlier suddenly changed into an expression that seemed like even if she was stabbed, not a drop of blood would come out.
It’s already confusing which side is the true face of Chen Wei-gang.
“I’m not particularly from Baekdo.”
Chen Wei-gang’s eyebrows twitched.
“Don’t swear at the teacher’s words.”
“Yep.”
Cheon Ha-yeon’s father and my teacher.
It turned out to be a pretty twisted relationship.
I asked a question that came to mind.
“Teacher, I have a question.”
“Tell me.”
“With this, I have become Master’s disciple, so will the young schoolmaster, Cheon Ha-yeon, become my sister-in-law?”
“Private residence?”
“Yes. Aren’t you a woman and a sister-in-law?”
Chen Yugang opened his eyes wide and looked at me. It’s almost like getting caught.
“You can call it whatever you like. Only.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t get too close.”
“…?”
I blankly tilted my head. Chen Weigang raised his eyebrows and spoke coldly.
“Answer.”
“We are already close. Disciple, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the words.”
“As I said, masters and disciples are like parents and children. Therefore, it can be seen that other death sentences are also similar.”
“Understand.”
“There should never be anything that crosses the line between the death penalty. Do you understand?”
…So crazy.
So, it was said that a relationship between a man and a woman would never be allowed. Because it is no different from close relatives.
Sometimes I say I don’t care about personal affection.
No matter how I look at it, I don’t think this is the appearance of ‘extremely’ caring about personal affection.
I couldn’t even get it out of my mouth.
I lowered my eyes and opened my mouth very politely.
“Is it possible, Master?”
There was no way Cheon Ha-yeon would think of me nonsense anyway, so I didn’t feel too much pressure in talking about it.
