Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 516



Only Noblemtl

516. Hanbin becomes Jiang Taigong (2)

At Zhuge Li’s words, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa took a step back.

Zhuge Liang caught Han Bin’s pulse.

Zhuge Li, who had been holding the pulse and examining it for a moment, lowered his head.

Cheonghwa asked at that sight.

“Sister Zhuge, what happened to the Confucius?”

“I guess it can’t be reversed… … .”

Zhuge Li’s words trailed off.

It was when everyone was bowing their heads.

Seolhwa’s expression changed.

For a moment, she nodded slightly as if she had made up her mind about something.

Others did not notice the change in the narrative.

Seol-hwa, who seemed lost in thought, stood up from her seat.

Then I walked to the pond in the center.

Seolhwa was dragging something from there, making a fuss.

Everyone who had been bowing their heads opened their eyes wide.

What Seolhwa brought was a small boat floating on a pond, namely, the Manwolgyeong.

It was the very same boat that had been used to place the sentences and the bowls containing the liquor.

Seolhwa lifted Hanbin and laid him down on a small boat.

At that sight, Zhuge Li grabbed Seol Hua’s sleeve in a hurry.

“Snow Flower, what the heck… … .”

Zhuge Liang was left speechless.

It was because she heard a sound in her ears.

Hanbin’s transmission was clear.

It was hard to tell the difference between the two voices, but Hanbin’s speech was clear.

-Please pretend not to know and follow the story, Sister Jegal.

The only person here who would call her older sister was Hanbin.

This is a personal title used since the Sachon Dangga era.

Zhuge Liang actually did not understand the current situation.

A situation where a dagger is stuck in the chest.

Hanbin’s right hand was holding the blade of the dagger.

It seemed like he was making a last-ditch effort to pull out the dagger.

There was blood spurting around Hanbin’s chest.

All circumstances pointed to Hanbin’s death.

No, no evidence was needed.

Even when I held the pulse, I couldn’t feel any life in the blood vessels.

There was a pause in breathing.

This was impossible with the ghost method.

In this way, Zhuge Li accepted Han Bin’s death as a fait accompli.

But then a message came to Hanbin.

Zhuge Li tried his best to calm his racing heart and collect his expression.

Zhuge Li, who was born to the Zhuge family, began to coldly calculate the current situation.

Her eyes lit up.

Zhuge Li first looked at the story.

It feels awkward to see Seol-hwa looking flustered.

It seemed that Seolhwa was the first to receive Hanbin’s message.

The second person to receive the transmission was Zhuge Li himself.

So what is the standard?

Zhuge Li’s eyes lit up as if he understood the reason.

It seemed like Hanbin knew the criteria for sending the message.

It was clear that it was probably sent only to those who could hide the fact that they were alive.

What if Cheonghwa, Sogun, or Hyomyeong knew about Hanbin’s condition?

It was obvious that he was jumping for joy on the spot.

Compared to him, Seolhwa was different from others in that she was able to control her emotions.

Although he looked young, you could feel his experience as a martial artist.

That was when.

Seolhwa began to pull the rope that was tied to the small boat.

Ssuk.

A small boat is pulled by Seolhwa’s hand.

Seolhwa slowly moved forward, dragging her boat without any expression on her face.

There was a sense of solemnity, as if an undertaker was dragging a coffin.

Others opened their eyes wide at that sight.

Princess Hyomyeong was the first to step forward.

“Ji. Where are you taking your fresh older brother now?”

“I can’t keep you in the cold forever, right?”

“ah.”

Princess Hyomyeong opened her mouth.

She even forgot that the other person was treating her poorly.

Of course, no one could criticize Seolhwa for her actions.

Because nothing is more shocking than Hanbin’s death.

* * *

The place where Seolhwa arrived was none other than the Buddhist temple inside Yulim Seowon.

On top of the Buddhist temple, there was a signboard engraved in an antique script.

A neat handwriting, as if written by a god.

Jeongsimdang (Jeongsimdang).

In this Confucian academy, there was not only a Buddhist temple but also a Taoist temple.

When Seolhwa brought the small boat containing Hanbin’s body to Jeongsimdang, the most surprised were Princess Hyomyeong and Jang Yu-jung.

This was the place where Princess Hyomyeong was hiding for a while.

Since Yulim Seowon was visited by quite a number of royal figures, it provided a place where people could hide inside the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple.

I thought that there must be a hidden meaning in coming here among the many pavilions.

Jang Yu-jung asked in a low voice.

“Why did you come to the Buddhist temple? And you brought the body of Peng Yu-saeng with you?”

“Our Confucius was usually called the incarnation of Avalokitesvara. In the land of Hebei, he was not famous as a member of the Hebei Peng family… … . He was more famous as a living Buddha. So there is no place more suitable for Confucius to rest than this Buddhist temple.”

“Haha, so you’re saying that the living Buddha of the land of Habuk was Peng Yu-saeng?”

“Yes, that’s right. Confucius was always generous, but he was stingy when it came to showing off his good deeds.”

Seol-hwa’s face turned slightly red after she finished speaking.

Jang Yu-jung asked at that sight.

“Then continue here… … .”

“I think the prince will need a more private place to rest, Dean.”

“If it’s a secret place… … .”

“hey.”

Seolhwa pointed to several small Buddhist statues inside Jeongsimdang.

There were exactly four small Buddha statues.

The small Buddha statues placed side by side on the left side of the Buddhist temple were in the shape of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Jang Yu-jung sighed at the sight.

“Hmm.”

“Isn’t that possible? If I know, it’s no longer a secret. Qinghua and Confucius know the secret of this place.”

“Yes. I don’t know what your intentions are, but I will do whatever you want. This way, I think I can repay my debt to Master Peng even a little.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Yu-jung looked at Jang Hye-hwa.

Jang Hye-hwa nodded.

“Yes, I will help you too.”

“Okay, thank you.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Yu-jung walked towards a small Buddha statue in the shape of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Jang Yu-jung, who went there, caught a small Buddha statue.

To be exact, the position of the Buddha statue was rotated in that exact spot.

Some statues were made to face backwards and some to face sideways.

Jang Yu-jung and Jang Hye-hwa had the Buddha statue face east, west, north, and south, respectively.

Then he moved the Buddha statue again.

When they looked in different directions, Zhuge Li, who was watching them, narrowed his eyes.

Because the organ’s mechanism was clear.

However, the strange thing is that no sound of the machine working could be heard.

Jang Yu-jung and Jang Hye-hwa moved the Buddha statue a few more times and then returned to their seats.

Zhuge Li asked them about their appearance.

“What on earth have you been doing, Dean?”

“As expected, Zhuge Liang is trustworthy.”

“What do you mean?”

“The person who designed this Jeongsimdang was none other than Master Jegal Jinwoo of the Jegal Family.”

“If it’s Jegal Jinwoo… … .”

“He was called the greatest genius in the Central Plains a hundred years ago.”

“He is a legend in our family. They say that in the fields of formation and organization, there is still no one who can match him. But, he designed this place?”

“That’s right. But if his descendants don’t know about this place, then he must have kept it a secret until now.”

Jang Yu-jung made a faint smile.

For a moment, I looked at the small boat placed inside the temple and then looked up at the ceiling.

Although he pretended to be calm, he was barely able to suppress his pounding heart.

In fact, Jang Yu-jung wanted to make Han Bin his successor.

I was confident that if we taught him well, he would produce many pillars of this country.

He wanted to pass on Yulim Seowon to Hanbin.

To that extent, Hanbin was seen as a treasure in Jang Yu-jung’s eyes.

The person who had been chosen like that was no longer in this world!

It was a shock similar to the collapse of the academic foundation that had been established over time.

Of course, I didn’t show it because there were other people around me.

I tried my best to not show any emotion.

But the moment Sulwha heard that her Confucius was called the Living Buddha of Hebei, the well-maintained dam of emotions began to collapse.

Jang Yu-jung also knew the story of the living Buddha in the land of Habuk.

There was even a legend that he saved an entire village by himself, and that the Buddhist statues in some villages were so moved by his spirit that they looked out towards the land of Hebei.

Of course, that Buddha statue was Jang Yun-hyeon’s reclining Buddha.

The Buddha statue moved and changed direction due to an explosion that occurred underground at the time, but the people of the world spread rumors that it was the Buddha statue reacting to a righteous person called the Living Buddha.

In fact, only a few people, including Hanbin, knew the truth, so it was established as fact.

Rumors breed rumors. That’s how the legend of the living Buddha was passed down to this Confucian academy.

Because the word ‘living fire’ was so strong, no one, except the people near Cheonsujang, thought of living fire and the four Confucius of Habukpengga as the same person.

I couldn’t help but be shocked to see the legendary living Buddha turned into a cold corpse right before my eyes.

After briefly satisfying Zhuge Li’s curiosity, Jang Yu-jung walked off somewhere.

Seolhwa followed Jang Yu-jung, pulling a small boat.

With everyone else following behind, only Zhuge Li remained.

Zhuge Li, who suddenly came to his senses, quickly followed them.

* * *

What they passed through was the wall behind the Buddha statue.

Jang Yu-jung passed through the wall without any problems.

The room was hidden in exquisite harmony with the formation and organs.

To open a room there, you have to move the Buddha statue precisely.

Zhuge Li, who followed them, opened his eyes wide.

This place was bigger than I thought.

The important thing was that it was not only spacious but also splendid.

From expensive porcelain to a folding table.

You could tell that this place was managed by someone by looking at the spotless floor.

None of them who entered the room spoke first.

Zhuge Li swallowed dry saliva and looked around.

Everyone seemed to have their lips locked, and only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

As the awkward silence passed, Jang Hye-hwa’s eyes met mine.

There were tears slightly welling up in Jang Hye-hwa’s eyes.

It seemed like he was sad about Hanbin’s death.

Zhuge Li’s lips twitched.

I wanted to tell you that Hanbin is alive.

For a moment, Zhuge Li shook his head.

I thought there was a good reason why Hanbin was hiding his condition.

At that moment, Jang Hye-hwa shouted in surprise.

“Sister Jegal, look over there!”

“Where… … .”

“hey!”

After finishing speaking, Jang Hye-hwa ran absentmindedly to where Han Bin was.

Seeing that sight, Zhuge Li also ran along.

Jang Hye-hwa’s somewhat excited appearance was enough to capture everyone’s attention.

Princess Hyomyeong and Jang Yu-jung also followed her.

The place that Jang Hye-hwa was pointing to was Han Bin’s hand.

Hanbin had one hand on his chest, holding the dagger embedded in his heart, while the other hand was hanging down.

Jang Hye-hwa pointed to Han Bin’s hanging hand.

“It moved.”

“… … .”

“It really did move. And there’s something inside that hand?”

Jang Hye-hwa reached out her hand to Han Bin.

That was when.

Hanbin’s hand moved.

Jang Hye-hwa, who had been reaching out her hand, took a step back in surprise.

“oh.”

When Jang Hye-hwa opened her eyes wide, Han-bin let out a small breath.

“Phew.”

“Uh, how?”

When Jang Hye-hwa’s pupils shook without warning, Han Bin got up from his seat.

Jang Hye-hwa, who was about to scream, covered her own mouth.

Because Hanbin was putting his index finger to his lips.
