Tangmunjeon - Chapter 339



Only Noblemtl

Tangmunjeon Episode 339 Fisherman’s breathing became a little deeper.

Hyun-gong became extremely tense. When a person’s breathing suddenly changes, a fight usually ensues.

‘It was reckless.’

It seems that mentioning the relationship with Sam-an-bul touched Hwayeon-shin-ni’s nerves.

Of course, I expected there would be some reaction, but I didn’t know it would be this strong.

‘Are you trying to attack?’

It’s not certain yet, but the mere possibility of being attacked was a huge problem.

Hwayeonshinni asked.

“stringer.”

“yes.”

“You came alone?”

Through that question, Hyun-gong gained confidence.

The four ominous characters “murderer’s curse” must have been floating around in Hwayeonshinni’s head.

However, Hyun-gong had no intention of accepting death obediently.

Were there only a few difficulties he had faced so far? However, Hyun-gong overcame them all and stood here.

Hyun-gong’s head began to move again.

‘How should I answer?’

If you answer this question bluntly, “Yes, I came alone,” you could die.

However, it was not a good idea to pretend to have company and lie all the time. It would most likely result in additional charges of contempt.

In times like this, we need to find a third option that is neither positive nor negative.

But in order to devise such a plan, there was something we had to know first.

Why is Hwayeonshinni trying to hide her relationship with Samanbul?

‘Because it’s embarrassing for an adult in the martial arts world to show their human side?’

No. Hwayeonshinni was not a person who hid her human side.

Hwayeonshinni is a person who gets angry when she’s angry and gets happy when she’s happy. She enjoys the joys and sorrows contained in romance novels. I’ve also heard that she’s active in giving advice on love.

‘Are you ashamed of the fact that there was an affection between two people who were once Buddhists?’

It was relatively likely, but I couldn’t be sure it was correct.

Sam-an-bul had been out of Shaolin Temple for decades, and it had been a long time since Hwa-yeon-shin-ni had turned her back on the Ami-pa. It seemed unlikely that she would be swayed by the precepts of her time as a nun.

‘No, definitely not this.’

It is clear that Hwayeonshinni has already broken the precept of not being attracted to the opposite sex.

Would you break the precept of not killing just to avoid being caught breaking it? That is absurd.

‘Then what’s the problem?’

Hyun-gong’s brain desperately repeated its thoughts.

At the same time, Hyun-gong’s eyes moved minimally and took in everything around him. A neat room without materialism. Neat clothes and undisturbed hair. And Hwa-yeon-shin-ni’s large eyes-

‘Big eyes?’

Hyun-gong realized an important fact.

Unlike before, Hwa Yeon-shin-ni now had makeup on her face.

There are several types of makeup that women commonly wear.

There are many other flashy and extravagant makeups, such as blackening the eyebrows (眉黛), yellowing the forehead (額黃), and whitening the forehead, nose, and temples (三白).

But Hwayeonshinni’s makeup was different.

All I need is a little bit of blush to make my cheeks look a little more vibrant, and a little bit of eyeliner to make my eyes look bigger.

It’s a very light makeup. But it was a coincidence that Hwa Yeon-shin-ni chose to wear two types of makeup.

Making the cheeks look brighter, making the eyes look bigger. Both of these were makeups that were done to make one look even a little younger. It wasn’t a makeup method that Hwa Yeon-shin-ni, who looked very young, would choose.

At that moment, a bright light seemed to burst into Hyun-gong’s head.

Through the clue of makeup, we fully understand why Hwayeonshinni is hiding her relationship with Samanbul.

However, Hwayeonshinni did not feel any particular sense of discomfort while looking at Hyeon-gong.

There was no change in Hyun-gong’s expression, and it only took one breath for Hyun-gong to finish all his decisions.

‘Let’s not be impatient.’

Hyun-gong answered in a calm voice.

“Elder Hwayeonshinni, please calm down. I have no intention of interfering with your relationship with Elder Samanbul.”

Of course, that story didn’t appeal to Hwayeonshinni at all. Instead, Hwayeonshinni’s tone became even more fierce.

“You tried to take advantage of my weakness without intending to do so? You’re such a pervert. If you thought you could cover up your sinister intentions with a little friendship, you were mistaken.”

However, Hyun-gong showed an attitude that he could not understand at all. It was as if he did not even notice Hwa-yeon-shin-ni’s murderous intent.

“Weakness? How is that a weakness? Despite his unapproachable appearance, Elder Samanbul is deep inside and good at understanding others. It is only natural that a young and curious woman would admire Elder Samanbul. Even someone who was once a monk is no exception.”

Hyun-gong seemed to insist that the relationship between the two, who were once monks, was not negative. However, there was one expression that particularly caught Hwayeon-shin-ni’s ear.

‘A young and curious woman?’

In fact, Hwa Yeon-shin-ni felt considerable betrayal and guilt in her relationship with Sam-an-bul.

It wasn’t because they were Buddhists in the past. Weren’t both Hwayeonshinni and Samanbul turning their backs on Buddhism?

Furthermore, it had been too long since I had finished my life as a nun to feel guilty for that reason. That was also the reason why I had taken back the name Haryeong instead of the Buddhist name Hwayeonshinni.

Rather, Hwayeonshinni’s guilt and sense of betrayal were rooted in the age difference between herself and Samanbul.

When Sam-an-bul was born and first saw the light, she was already known as the core master of the Amipa, Hwa-yeon-sa-tae.

As time passed, the young Sam-an-bul lived a life of cooking and carrying water at the Shaolin Temple, and by then she had become the head of the Ami sect and was called Hwayeon-shin-ni.

There were many differences between Hwa Yeon Shin Ni and Sam An Bu. There was a difference in status, a difference in inaction, a difference in reputation, and a difference in age.

Unlike the gap in wealth or military achievements, the age gap cannot be narrowed or widened no matter what you do.

That is why Hwayeonshinni thought every time she saw the Three-Eyed Buddha.

The relationship between himself and the Three Eyes Buddha, and the relationship between a woman in her fifties and sixties and a young boy of about ten. Could there be any difference between the two relationships?

I know that my appearance doesn’t match my actual age. But Hwa Yeon-shin-ni’s thoughts were not shaken.

Even if you return to a young body and regain it, the soul inside you will not change.

Although Hwayeonshinni had a good time with Samanbul, she sometimes felt guilty as an old woman teasing a young man. This was Hwayeonshinni’s deep concern that even Samanbul was unaware of.

That was also why Hwayeon Shinni, who was always confident, desperately hid her relationship with Samanbul.

I was afraid that people would think I was crazy and strange, and that people would point fingers at me and say, “How can I show my affection for such a young man?”

However, Hyun-gong’s story did not contain such a perspective at all.

While Hwayeonshinni paused, Hyungong spoke again.

“It is not strange that the Three-Eyed Buddha would harbor feelings for Hwayeonshinni. It has been at least thirty years since the Three-Eyed Buddha left Shaolin Temple and headed towards the Demonic Cult. It is only natural that flowers would bloom in the dried-up and cracked heart when he meets someone full of fresh energy. It must have been difficult for the Three-Eyed Buddha to hide his feelings.”

Hyun-gong continued to tell his story as if he was still somewhat free from Hwayeon-shin-ni’s worries and guilt.

But that fact reassured Hwa Yeon-shin even more. She also secretly liked the expression.

Hwayeonshinni asked an ambiguous question.

“But, the age difference is quite significant…”

Then Hyun-gong answered without hesitation.

“A narrow-minded person might think that Elder Sam-an-bul is a bit presumptuous. There are probably quite a few people who feel sorry for Elder Hwayeon-shin-ni.

However, I believe that even the deep-hearted Hwayeonshinni could have guessed that much. The relationship between a man and a woman cannot be interfered with by others. If by any chance the elder Samanbul is blaming himself and suffering, Hwayeonshinni, please take good care of him. Then, everything will be resolved.”

The moment Hyun-gong finished telling his story, Hwayeon-shin-ni’s whole body trembled with secret joy.

The guilt that Hyun-gong was talking about had its direction reversed.

Rather than people pointing at themselves and feeling sorry for the Sam-an-bul, people might point at the Sam-an-bul and feel sorry for themselves.

The idea that he might rather look like a victim. That gaze of Hyun-gong couldn’t have been more thrilling.

Unlike the first time, Hwayeonshinni spoke in a slightly lighter voice. Hwayeonshinni subtly hinted at her worries.

“There probably aren’t many people who would think that way when looking at me and Sam-an-bul. After all, I’ve been through a lot. It’s just that the situation is a bit special for Sam-an-bul to think that I’m being unreasonable…”

Hyun-gong realized that Hwayeon-shin-ni’s tone had become significantly softer.

Now that we are definitely out of danger to our lives, the only thing left is how well we can appease Hwa Yeon Shin Ni.

Hyun-gong spoke with a voice full of regret.

“I understand that the situation is a bit difficult. However, Hwayeonshinni must also understand the people’s gaze. It’s like a return to childhood. Hwandong. Hwayeonshinni has literally become a child. In this situation, Samanbul harbored feelings for Hwayeonshinni, so it is inevitable that people will doubt Samanbul’s tastes.”

“No. Don’t you call me elder too? It’s a different matter from being a half-rohwan-dong and really becoming a child···.”

Hwa Yeon-shin tried hard to make a very troubled expression. In fact, it was a somewhat believable performance.

But it wasn’t enough to fool Hyun-gong’s eyes.

“Actually, that title is just a way for a martial artist to show respect to a senior in the martial arts world. If I weren’t a martial artist, I would have lowered my speech. Saying things like, “Ha-ryeong, have you eaten?” In fact, I also find it much more natural and comfortable…”

Hyun-gong continued to talk, but then realized his rudeness and covered his mouth in surprise.

“Oh, I’m not saying I’ll talk like that in the future. Please forgive me if I seemed rude.”

“Uh, uhm. It’s okay. I’m not that narrow-minded.”

There was a pause in the conversation.

Now, Hwayeonshinni was starting to have a vague idea of ​​why she had gotten angry at Hyeon-gong. Hwayeonshinni recalled her memories and spoke.

“Oh, you said you came to ask for my teachings? I’m busy taking care of Nanhyang, so I’m not sure if I’ll have time to teach you martial arts.”

Hwayeonshinni actually revealed her intention to teach martial arts.

But if you let go of the tight reins here and reveal your true feelings, it will be a waste. Hyun-gong shook his head.

“Yes? No. I didn’t come to see you because of martial arts. If I had been desperate for martial arts, I would have returned to Mt. Mudang.”

“Then why did you come to me to ask for my teachings?”

Hyun-gong lowered his head as if embarrassed. His bashfulness was clearly revealed through his reddened ears.

“Elder. You saw the story at Samguchon last time, right?”

“A child with a colored face? I remember you.”

“Yes. Actually, I have feelings for Seol-hwa, but I was worried because there was no progress. While I was suffering like that, Mu-jin gave me a hint.”

“What advice?”

“It was said that Elder Hwayeonshinni was very good at reading the hearts of men and women.”

If Danseolyeong had heard this story, it would have been enough to make her blood boil, but Hyungong’s expression did not waver at all.

Hwa Yeon-shin felt a deep sense of guilt. She almost got in trouble with Hyun-gong because of a ridiculous misunderstanding!

Hwayeonshinni coughed in vain, hiding her stinging feelings.

“Of course. I’m pretty good at that sort of thing.”

You can become a skilled fisherman only after you give up your hasty mind. Even if the fish has taken the bait, you should only lift the fishing rod after confirming that the hook is properly set.

But this time, Hyun-gong showed a passive attitude.

“Actually, after meeting you, I lost my confidence. You, Hwayeonshinni, have a face like a sleeping beauty, so there must be more than one or two people who have feelings for you. I am afraid that you think that relationships between men and women are easy and simple. Unlike you, I have to look at love from the perspective of an ordinary person.”

Skillful praise disguised as suspicion. Hwa Yeon-shin-ni was swayed by the dazzling Hyun-gong’s verbal skills.

“You don’t have to worry about that. My knowledge and experience are considerable.”

Although it was only one direct experience, there was a huge difference between having experience and not having experience. Hwa Yeon-shin-ni’s confidence was sky-high.

Hyun-gong asked cautiously.

“If I receive your teachings, will I be able to capture the heart of Sulwha? My situation is urgent, so please answer me seriously.”

Hwayeonshinni nodded her head in satisfaction and gestured to Hyeon-gong.

“Of course. Just come in and have a seat. Heeya! Do you have anything? Bring me some good tea.”

“Yes.”

Soon, the sound of the kisaeng in the waiting room coming down to get tea was heard. Hwayeonshinni gave Hyeon-gong a seat and smiled contentedly.

Hyun-gong secretly observed Hwayeon-shin-ni’s expression.

In order not to arouse suspicion, I asked for teachings on love instead of martial arts. But that wasn’t a big deal.

It only took about half a dwarf to coax the man who was trying to take my life into giving me tea.

It was a simple matter to once again persuade Hwayeonshinni to give him advice on martial arts.

“Okay. Tell me what you know about the story.”

“He is a Saekmok-in from the North. However, I am worried because Seolhwa seems to be more interested in martial arts than me.”

When Hyun-gong dropped a hint, Hwayeon-shin-ni was overjoyed.

“Really? That’s a simple matter. Since your martial arts achievements are already outstanding, if I give you a little teaching to add to your achievements, you will be able to capture Sulwha’s heart without difficulty.”

Exactly the intended reaction.

Hyun-gong pretended to be surprised and lifted the fishing rod with force.

“There was a way like that!”

Both Hwayeonshinni and Hyeon-gong became happy.
