The reincarnation demon temple

Episode 368

Apostle of Nata

It was almost like the first time I made public my ambitions for magic.

I didn’t expect it to reach the ears of the people of the Central Plains right away.

Look at it now.

They just stare at each other with their eyes rolled around, frozen stiff.

No one understood.

But I didn’t really care about that.

If I just keep fighting silently against my enemies without forgetting the cause I hold in my heart.

Someday.

I really hoped that someday these people would understand, even if only a little, what I was trying to say.

“Truly, you are about to take a truly difficult path. At first, it seemed like you were just being frivolous… But the more I look at you, the more I realize that you are a true gentleman.”

Oh Gwang looked at me with warm eyes and stroked my head.

『Young Master… You have grown a lot in the time since I last saw you.』

Even the Ya Baek Shin Army had a somewhat upset expression on their faces.

“I, Maeng Gye-Gwang, will stay by your side until you achieve your dream.”

“Why are you suddenly being so formal? Just call me casually when it’s just the two of us.”

『No. I felt it at Baekunsan, but the little cult leader is no longer a child. He is someone that this Meng Jiguang can devote his life to. From now on, I will not call him the little cult leader like the demon cult leader, but rather, my lord.』

“Well, do whatever you want.”

Since he probably wouldn’t do what I said anyway, I just left him to do it.

On the one hand, it felt good to know that the inflexible nobleman next to Sasim Mayu sincerely followed me.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The people in the literary world were at a loss as to what to do.

The political parties that had been calling for punishment against me were unable to readily come forward due to the pressure of the White Knights.

The Sapa people who were trying to find a new way by devoting themselves to the new religion had to stop for fear of having their heads split open by the Bangcheonhwageuk.

I let them continue to do so.

By the way, why doesn’t the vampire horse come down like this?

Shouldn’t the Cheonmacheop have been delivered to the general voter by now?

‘Should I try tearing open the Thunder Strike and the Emperor’s Sword?’

I briefly recalled the two divine teachings I had obtained from interrogating the Black King.

The two representative solar terms of Namgung, who created Mujeseong today.

Heavenly Thunder Great Expansion Divine Skill and Emperor Sword Unleashing.

These two are based on brain power and swordsmanship, so I thought they might be a good inspiration to me.

It might also help when fighting against the monsters.

Of course, the most important part was missing, so it could be said that only the shell remained.

Still, this cannot be said to be necessarily a bad thing.

‘Depending on the purpose, it seems like it could be mixed into the Unsulgeomhae a little bit.’

I’ve been revising and reworking the Unsulgeomhae in my own way recently. The same goes for the other five Hogyo Shingongs.

“As expected, the atmosphere is no joke, whether it’s the past or the present. I told you this would only cause misunderstandings. Oh my! I’ll pass by! Yes, yes, thank you.”

Just then, someone came into the guest house, pushing through the crowd.

He walked carefully so as not to get anyone hurt, wearing a blue uniform and a mischievous smile on his lips.

He was a man with a strange atmosphere, wearing ancient clothing reminiscent of a priest from the Spring and Autumn Period.

The White Knights tried to stop him this time too.

“Oh my! You’re much bigger than I thought from afar! If you have any secrets to building a body like this, could you please share them with me?”

The man looked at the young man with curiosity, caressing his forearm and poking it with his finger.

The Yabaekshin Army looked at me with a face like, “What kind of guy is this?” and then took a step back after hearing my words.

“He’s my friend. Let me in.”

The Yabaek Shingun seemed to have some sort of positive reaction to the word ‘friend’.

Something about this feels a bit off?

“That guy’s frivolous behavior really resembles that of the cult leader, doesn’t it?”

“I can’t understand why Your Majesty would react like that. Huh!”

“Well, we found it quite interesting too.”

While glaring at the muttering ghosts next to me.

The man took the lottery ticket with a grin.

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty. No, would you rather use the expression ‘Cheonma’?”

“Call me Jongju.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here. How have you been, Cheongjae?”

The man’s true identity was Cheongjae, the eldest of the two Taoists of Jabu who had formed a relationship at Mt. Wudang.

Jabu claims to be a descendant of Master Jabu, who is said to have helped Emperor Xianyuan, who was passing through the eastern region, by giving him the Samhwangnaemun (the Three Emperors’ Internal Documents) so that he could command all gods.

There is a saying that if there is a light spirit in the west, there is a master of Jabu in the east, which shows how much influence he has in the world of drinking and martial arts and the world of immortals and monsters.

That is why Jabu is also called the Shaolin Temple of the drinking world.

Cheongjae was such an excellent sorcerer that he was even mentioned as a successor to that place… Why did he suddenly come here?

‘hmm?’

“You’re a welcome sight. But… doesn’t it seem like something has changed about your friend?”

Oh Gwang tilted his head instead of looking at Cheongjae.

I also felt something was a little strange.

If before it felt like a refined and deep alcoholic beverage, now, what should I say… it felt blocked up.

By something solid.

“As you can see, I’m doing just fine as always. Haha. I happened to be passing by here at the time, and do you know how surprised I was when I heard that there was a leader? So I dropped everything and came running-”

“It wasn’t like I was doing well.”

“…yes?”

“What happened during that time?”

I opened my mouth wide.

Hurrruk!

Through his purple-tinted vision, he saw the world surrounding Cheongjae change.

The energy between heaven and earth that should have been flowing around him was being diverted away.

As if there was no such person in this world.

The upper chamber, which should always be wide open for a sorcerer, was tightly closed.

and…….

“… Appear?”

Even the huge amount of essence coiled in the Baekhoe point.

“Huh? You can see that too? No, that’s the Hwaan Geumjeong I’ve only heard about! Wow! I never thought I’d see that in my entire life! Oh, how did you get it!?”

“Answer the question first. Why is Nata’s essence in your Baekhoehyeol, and why is your supernatural power closed?”

Cheongjae scratched his cheek with his index finger as if he was embarrassed.

“Oh my… I was just going to say hello and leave because I was happy to see you, but I ended up getting held back for no reason. Can I sit here?”

“Sit down.”

I looked at Cheongjae sitting across from me and asked Ya Baek Shin-gun for protection with my eyes.

The Yabaekshin Army nodded and surrounded themselves with a curtain.

Cheongjae scratched the back of his head with his hand for a long time before sighing.

“Actually, I was excommunicated.”

Breaking the gate.

It means that one broke the priest’s duty and was expelled from the sect.

Whether it was the martial arts world of Gangho or the martial arts world of Sulgam, in this place where one’s affiliation with a school was tantamount to one’s identity, it was not a word that could be taken lightly.

“Because of what’s in your head?”

“… If you obtain the Hwaan Geumjeong, you can read people’s minds and things like that?”

“I can roughly guess what happened.”

As Ja-bu is deeply connected to the Emperor Hyeon-won, he follows the immortals of the Great Heaven, including the Jade Emperor.

In other words, it can be said that it is a subordinate group created by Daeracheon to interfere with the lower world.

And as a great sage who was one of the three gods and one of the ten great gods of Daeracheon, it was only natural that receiving his affection would be a great blessing for a sorcerer.

In other words, Cheongjae became the incarnation or apostle of Nata.

‘Come… out.’

I still can’t forget the memory of Nata I met at Aguido.

Didn’t he show off his tremendous power against countless celestial beings and gods?

If Je Cheon Dae Seong hadn’t shown up and started a ruckus, I might have lost my master to that guy.

And the meaning of Nataga making Cheongjae his apostle is one.

‘It must be because of the connection with me.’

Nata, no, Daracheon was still paying great attention to Master and me.

“If you become an apostle of Natha, you should enjoy it. Why do you insist on closing off your supernatural powers?”

“Well, you keep nagging me to go meet the lord and try to persuade him, and stuff like that. That’s why I said no.”

I glanced at the ceiling.

Ever since I got on the Ark, the gazes of the heavenly beings and gods that had been lining the sky were still sharply focused on me.

No matter how I look at it, are they all voyeurs?

“I don’t think that gentleman would stay still with his personality, would he?”

“Of course. Yelling at me for not listening to you, tormenting me in my dreams, and even forcing my alcohol powers back into me… Phew! I thought I was going to die after getting sick?”

“So you closed the upper chamber?”

“If you cut off my supernatural powers, no matter how much you try to appear, you won’t be able to bother me. Well, that caused a commotion in the Buddhist community. So I ran away. My master excommunicated me, so I went on a rampage.”

Cheongjae shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing serious. Of course, it wasn’t absolutely nothing serious.

“Forcibly cut off my supernatural powers? What if my Baihui point gets injured and I become an idiot?”

In particular, Oh Gwang seemed determined to see all the crazy guys.

As he said, if the upper body is mishandled, it can lead to mental illness.

Moreover, for a sorcerer, the upper abdomen was like life. It was like the lower abdomen of a warrior.

And yet, the fact that it was closed so nonchalantly… … .

“Anyway, I learned some talents and made a living by telling fortunes, but while I was wandering around like this, the lord came to tell me to be careful. Oh no! You’ve caused trouble again.”

Cheongjae pressed his temples with his index fingers as if his head was throbbing. Nata’s emotions were throbbing.

He seemed very angry because he was right in front of me and instead of trying to persuade me, he was saying bad things to me.

“It’s not just you, Na-ta. In the Great Festival of the Northern Mountains, the Queen Mother of the West, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva… Not only in the Great Heaven and the Green Garden, but also in the Seven Great Stars, and even in the Bokmajeon, the Great Virtue, Blood Maitreya, and the Heaven of Punishment moved to appease or capture the lord.”

Daewideok was the god of the Daemakjong, Hyeolmireuk was the god of the Nine-Eighth Jong, and Hyungcheon was the god of the Beastjong. In other words, the three remaining sects of the Blood Demon Sect were moving to capture me.

Perhaps, like the North Sea Clan or the Ghost Clan, they are afraid that I will take over their sect, so they want to strike first.

Because they were famous for caring for their own sect more than other sects.

‘Even King Songje said that the Bokmajeon had been divided for a long time.’

In the meantime, if the gods and deities such as Nata, Bukak Daeje, Seowangmo, and Guanyin Bodhisattva had moved, it would not have been an easy matter to see.

I didn’t expect them to come all the way to the royal palace and chase me just because I saved their master. Is this why people say that being too popular is tiring?

“This is not something to be taken lightly. The beings of the heavens have long been a people who regard the beings of the lower world as objects in their pockets. If you catch their eye, you must be careful.”

Oh Gwang gave advice with a worried tone.

“What are those guys talking about? If you need anything, just tell me. I’ll call the main body. What do you think? Should I call a place where I can blow everything up with a bang?”

Philmaeon was eager to take advantage of this opportunity that had been given to him.

“So, Jongju, please take care of yourself. That’s all I have to say to you.”

Cheongjae held my hand tightly and urged me several times. His eyes were filled with worry.

I felt strange.

Even now, his mind is probably burning with the thought of Nata’s love exploding at any moment, giving him a terrible headache. But how can he put my safety before his own safety?

As I watched him leave after saying those words, I felt strongly that I couldn’t just let him go like this.

“Then I’ve told you everything I wanted to say, so I’ll get up now-”

“No. I gave you a warning, so I’ll take care of it.”

“…yes?”

Nata’s feelings stirred even more.

That moment.

Squeak!

A group of people approached this place behind Cheongjae’s back.

“Is this the place where a fool dares to reject the call of God?”

The apostles, each possessing strong divine powers, entered the guest house.
