The reincarnation demon temple

Episode 359

Incarnation of Ahriman

avatar.

This refers to a case where a god takes on a human body in order to exert influence on the lower world.

Since it is usually a form in which a part of the will of God or an aspect of divinity descends, the Buddha’s response body or the skin of an immortal also fall into this category.

In other words, it is a concept widely known in the Central Plains, regardless of whether it is Taoism or Buddhism.

On the other hand, the concept of the spirit king originally existed only in the Angmasinhwajong.

The Great God is a kind of concept.

It is a voice and a mass of will that created the material world filled with all kinds of contradictions.

Aeon is a being that emerged from this mass, and it sometimes refers to the various beings of the Old Demon Gods or the Bokmajeon excluding the Great Demon God, and sometimes it refers to the will of the Great Demon God that descended to the lower world.

That is, it refers to divine beings who can be said to be the incarnation or fragments of the Great God… … .

I never thought that such words would come out of the mouth of an official who was loyal to the imperial family.

I squinted my eyes.

“Who are you?”

The temperament that Doo Han-soo possessed was by no means insignificant.

It was clear that at least one had crossed the threshold or had one foot in the Ark of the Covenant.

She was the one who was considered to be the one to be wary of among the four thousand government troops.

But I have never heard of an author of this caliber being in a sect, much less of one being promoted to a government position.

If that were the case, our believers would not have had to go through such hardships.

Or maybe I found her first.

So, it was inevitable that Duhansu would be suspicious.

But Duhansu still answered politely.

“I am a descendant of a believer who broke away from Manichaeism six hundred years ago when the first Heavenly Demon was reorganizing it into the Angma Mythology Sect. Then, my mother caught the eye of His Majesty the Emperor and gave birth to me.”

“If you do that, you-”

“Yes. My real name is Ju Han-seon. Du Han-su is a pseudonym that the Emperor personally gave me, so that I could work in the military and teaching fields without causing any harm to the safety of the Imperial Family.”

I found myself drooling without realizing it.

If what I said is true, then the person in front of me right now is a descendant of a lineage that broke away from the Shinwha sect a long time ago, and is a member of the royal family with the surname Ju.

It was clear that he was a person of a status that was difficult to deal with in many ways.

‘That’s why I knew so much about this species.’

So the question was why this author appeared before me and revealed his identity.

The fact that you brought up something that could easily be a weakness means that you want something.

Even more so if he had led a large army of 40,000 men.

“If you left the bosom of this sect a long time ago, you cannot be considered a follower of this sect, so should you properly call me Your Highness the Princess?”

“Even though you left me a long time ago, aren’t you still brothers who follow the same God’s words and doctrines? I hope Your Majesty will not doubt the intentions of this foolish sheep.”

Doohansu, no, Joohanseon bowed his head even deeper.

“The reason I led the government troops of the Gangdong Provincial Commander was to protect my brothers and sisters from the clutches of heretics.”

“It was for protection, not for subjugation?”

“That’s right. Shouldn’t we have made this fact known to the outside world? We would have pretended to suppress them and then tried to sneak away our brothers and sisters to a safe place.”

I opened my mouth wide and looked into Joo Han-seon’s mind.

It was true.

Only then could I feel a little bit of relief.

I was worried that something bad might happen if I arrived even a little late… … I guess it was destined that nothing major would have happened.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m still at ease.

dump!

I sat down on a chair nearby and looked down at her.

Despite her high status as a princess, Joo Han-seon was not ashamed at all.

Rather, I was confused about the intentions because I was accepting this as if it were so obvious.

Then an idea crossed my mind.

“The Emperor has something to say to me.”

At that moment, Joo Han-seon was startled and raised his head.

Then, when our eyes met, he hurriedly looked down again.

His eyes, which had been dry until now, were trembling.

“How about that-”

“After all, the thoughts of those in power are all the same. Especially when you’re an emperor sitting on a throne and running this great empire, you’ll need even more followers. Of course, those of us who are called the “socialites” will be among them.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it?”

“…Your Majesty, what you expected is correct. Perhaps-”

“You can talk comfortably. It seems like you have a lot to talk about.”

Joo Han-seon let out a light sigh and got up.

“There is a dragon spirit that the Emperor has bestowed upon you. Would you like to try it?”

“This is a gift from the Emperor, the ruler of humans, to the servant of God. I am curious. I will accept it.”

Joo Han-seon hesitated for a moment at my arrogant words, but soon nodded and began to make tea.

The Emperor may regard me as a subject whom he must rule.

I am a messenger of God who follows and speaks for the will of the Great God.

Rather, I thought of him as someone of a higher status than me, and I never thought of him as someone below me, so I planned to listen to his story from an equal position.

* * *

Urgh!

The teacup was filled with dragon tea.

As the steam rose, a pleasant scent quickly filled the barracks.

As expected of the highest quality tea presented to the royal family, the tea fragrance was very fragrant.

Actually, I like alcohol better than this kind of tea.

But since it was the right place for now, I didn’t show much and just tapped the tea with my index finger and waited for the tea to get used to it.

“If you are having trouble drinking because of the mask-”

“No, it’s okay. It’s not that difficult.”

I quietly took off my mask and placed it next to the teacup.

Joo Han-seon was surprised and smiled bitterly, as if he hadn’t expected me to take off my mask.

“As expected, you’re hiding your face. First of all, I want to tell you that you don’t have to do that and that you can just relax.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

My face now is the face of the old Yeon Yun-hwi, even though it has been adorned with magic.

So, how can you tell it’s fake?

“no way-”

“I know that Your Majesty, your current status is Sosaengbanak Dangunhwi.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Fit.

I let out a small laugh.

But my mind was spinning.

Are you trying to get me to leave? Or is there some other solid evidence?

I thought it might be closer to poking around.

But Joo Han-seon paid no attention to my answer and continued to speak while pouring tea into his own cup.

“You can admit it, or you can’t. After all, only Your Majesty, me, and the eunuch know about this matter in the imperial court.”

Eunuch is a title given only to the highest ranking eunuch.

That means Dongchang is watching me.

“You’re watching me.”

“Please do not be angry. It is disrespectful for a believer to dare to dig up the back of the sect leader, but on the other hand, Your Majesty is not a believer, so you should at least know whether the other person is worthy of joining hands or not.”

Of course, the Emperor’s eyes are everywhere on the continent, or else it would be difficult to run this huge empire alone.

“It means that sending Kang Dong-gun to Baekun Mountain was the Emperor’s intention.”

“Yes.”

“Were you trying to take me hostage?”

Joo Han-seon smiled bitterly.

“Can’t you consider it as a subject of negotiation?”

The regret that Joo Han-sun showed was genuine.

But this gave me some idea of ​​the context.

“There must be many people within the imperial family and government who call themselves the Emperor’s confidants, but why is there a need for a new sword that is not revealed to the outside world? I see. Is the imperial palace going through the same thing that the Shingyo went through?”

“… As expected, the lord cannot be deceived. Your guess is correct.”

A look of sadness crossed Joo Han-seon’s eyes.

“The royal family is currently infected with a large tumor (cancer) that cannot be castrated.”

‘As expected.’

I felt a tremendous sense of foreboding.

Since when have the sect leaders not followed the will of their leader?

Politics that keeps squeaking.

A shadow cast in the dark.

All of these things happened as the Bloodthirsty Church encroached on the new religion.

‘He’s reaching out to the palace and government offices… That’s what he said.’

I recalled what I had learned while interrogating the various ghosts of the military and Jaeimun clan.

The Nine Paths and the Four Paths. They are each attacking the imperial family and the government office.

But it seemed to be much more serious than I had expected.

Seeing the emperor personally sending his daughter to try to draw me in like this.

‘But since you found me so accurately, it means you have a fairly accurate understanding of the company.’

“The power of the court has already fallen into their hands, and most of the military, including the Five Commanderies, has begun to become paralyzed. Even among the princes and princelings, there are those who have sided with them.”

“… … .”

“Your Majesty is somehow using his loyal subjects to block their plots, but there are limits.”

“There may be some who are considered loyal even among those who believe in him.”

A shadow fell over Joo Han-seon’s eyes. She nodded heavily.

“That’s right. That’s why you tried your best not to arouse their suspicions when you sent me away.”

Her hands trembled as she held the teacup.

The seaweed had cooled down by then.

“Please help Your Majesty. If things continue this way, the entire empire will fall into their hands… … Then it will be difficult to put things right.”

Joo Han-seon’s gaze was fixed on me.

Like someone trying to grab onto a rope.

The eyes of the Yabaeksin Army and the believers I encountered at Baekun Mountain were like that.

“Just like the new religion.”

There is a huge difference between the internal strife of a Tian Shan and the division of an empire.

Even the new religion alone caused such a great upheaval in the martial arts world, let alone the empire, where the people’s livelihoods were ruined.

A real chaos will break out. And the Bloodthirsty Gods will take advantage of it and swallow up all the royalties.

They were really annoying guys.

As Joo Han-seon said, the word ‘monstrosity’ might be the most appropriate.

“If you help us, we will lift the social designation for the new religion and also-”

“Help me.”

“…yes?”

Joo Han-seon opened his eyes wide, as if he didn’t know I would answer so readily.

Well, I haven’t heard any terms for negotiation yet.

But to me, this was natural.

“Oh, why are you answering so easily-”

“Why? You’re saying strange things.”

Fit.

I let out a small laugh.

“Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? Your roots are also in this sect. You called the believers of this sect brothers and sisters. If that’s true, then you are also my child.”

“!!”

“What other reason would parents need to save their children?”

“ah……!”

“The conditions I was going to put on my clan will probably be met in the future. Furthermore, my clan and those bastards cannot share the same sky (不俱戴天). So, no matter where it is, I have to uproot it. Wouldn’t it be easier if I could get help from the royal family?”

The strength in Joo Han-seon’s hand as he held the teacup increased.

My smile deepened.

“If there is one thing I have learned from returning from death, it is that each person must live for his or her own cause. Not for his or her own selfish justice, but for the cause of justice for the community and society that no one can deny.”

“… … .”

“In that sense, they have no cause. They only have selfish desires. So I will eliminate them. If only to save you, a believer. And for the other believers, and for me.”

“… Thank you. I am sure Your Majesty will be pleased to hear that.”

This means that we have joined hands with the royal family in an unexpected place.

While I felt fortunate, I was also worried that it might lead to a new political strife.

‘Because in the Emperor’s eyes, I will only see it as a sword that can be used and then thrown away.’

Of course, we can only know the Emperor’s exact character by meeting him in person and talking to him.

I never really trusted the government to begin with.

Because that was the history of our sect, which had been oppressed as a social group for over a thousand years.

Whether it was the Western Regions or the Central Plains, if something was useful it would be discarded, and if it was no longer useful it would be discarded.

But I meant it when I said I would pursue a cause.

In this world of martial arts, in the Central Plains, in the realm of humanity, you need to kick my butt to the top to feel better.

“Well, I guess he’d welcome my help, but I’m not sure he’d be happy about it.”

Joo Han-seon looked blank for a moment, as if he didn’t understand what I meant, but I waved my hand as if it was nothing.

“If their clutches extend to the military, are they here in Gangdong-gun as well?”

Joo Han-seon hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily.

“Yes, probably. But I only know a few-”

“So you’re saying that you don’t have a full grasp of the exact number of personnel?”

I closed my eyes quietly.

Then, after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and gave a playful smile to Joo Han-seon, who was looking at him with cautious eyes.

“I think I can see it. What should I do?”
