Chapter 80

Editor: EndlessSkyRain

He asked for food, and the monks of Shaolin did not refuse . Scarlet smiled at Lee Sung-min as if he were looking through her, and Sung-min felt awkward for no reason .

Maybe it was because it was too early for lunch but in the restaurant there were very few people eating . Few of them were monks who had their heads shaved . Scarlet looked at the heads of the hairless monks in wonder, and Lee Sung-min poked her in the side with his elbow .

“That’s rude . ”

“I said something,” Scarlet grunted .

Sung-min sat in a vacant seat, and shortly after, a little peanut brought him some food . From the look of the Shaolin’s food, it looked like a stump . The liver was a little sour, but this one was more of a pick-me-up for Scarlet .

During the meal, the monks in the cafeteria did not care about Lee Sung-min and Scarlet . Thanks to their silence, neither Lee Sung-min nor Scarlet spoke .

At the end of a quiet meal, “Lee Sung-min,” one of the passengers approached .

Lee Sung-min, who was emptying his plate and drinking tea, looked at the man with his eyes wide open then bowed his head .

“The Abbot wants to see you . ”

“… me?”

“Yes . ”

If one were a moderator, it would be like talking about a bizarre immortal . In the meantime, it seemed that Nam Gong-hee had spoken to the Immortal Ambassador .

When Sung-min looked at Scarlet, she flicked her chopsticks then flicked his head . “Bye . ”

“What about you?”

“I’ll just have a look around . It’s not gonna take long anyway, is it?”

“That’s something we need to talk about . ”

“Just go,” Scarlet lowered her chopsticks .

Lee Sung-min nodded slightly . Then Lee Seong-min got up, he turned around and went out of the restaurant .

After Seong-min followed the man out of the restaurant, he started walking . No, we should call it skating . It was a strange new way of doing things . Every time he reaches one step forward, the little body swoops and slides forward . If the usual new method was to make the body move quickly, the new method unfolded seemed to fold the space between the steps .

(T/N: The above context shows the man gliding through space/air while Seong-min tries to follow him . )

He was a rational man who had little shortage in the air and had trained his immortal soul to enter neogenetics, but he barely pursued the steps of the equator . He walks out the back door of Shaolin and then starts up the mountain path .

Lee Sung-min wondered where he was headed . It was because the Nam Gong Hee Won, who was meeting the Immortal Ambassador, and the successors of the other Segas, did not go out the back door .

“Is it true we’re heading for the Immortal Ambassador?”

“Yes . ”

When Lee Sung-min asked aloud, the man became upset .

The road was no longer a path . The pearl crossed between the trees like a small animal, and Sung-min also followed behind the pearl .

‘I wonder how long it’s been running . ’

They ran the law of Psalms against each other, so they were quite far from Shaolin . It was the entrance of a small cave where one man could barely enter .

“This is it,” He turns away, saying that, “The Immortal Ambassador is in here . ”

Along with the end of the horse, Dongseung joined forces and disappeared into a mist in front of Lee Sung-min’s eyes . Lee Sung-min was flawed and looked at the place where there was a child . There was nothing . The fog has already dissipated .

[What are you doing? without coming inside . ] The voice that was ringing in his head was not a phonograph .

Lee Sung-min looked around .

The voices echoing all around were making it impossible to confirm its origin .

[Aya . It’s in here . ]

‘My voice tugged at my tongue . ’

Inside the cave, Lee Sung-min was nervous and swallowed a dry saliva . Then he slowly walked into the entrance of the cave .

‘I could barely get into the cave if I lowered my body slightly . ’

Inside the cave, a light was illuminating, and Lee Sung-min went forward using it as a direction chart . As he walked in, the ceiling of the cave became higher, so he was able to walk even with his waist lifted .

“Indeed . ”

At the end of the cave, the old man sat on his throne . The old man’s eyes narrowed when he saw Lee Sung-min walking in . Deep wrinkles and long beards tell the story of the old man’s life .

“You are beloved by Hezee,” The old man muttered . The meaning was unknown .

“… Who are you?”

“You know and you ask . Ajah . Are you asking because you don’t know who I really am?” The old man giggles and laughs .

Lee Sung-min hesitated and opened his mouth, “… a bizarre immortal ambassador . ”

“That’s right . I’m a freak,” The Immortal Ambassador smiled .

Since he is the head of Shaolin, he imagined he was a powerful master . It seemed like an old monster, what Lee Sung-min felt to the immortal ambassador in front of him .

“What was that?”

“It’s magic,” the Immortal Ambassador said .

He was also concerned about the answer, but what disturbed Lee Sung-min was another word that the Immortal Ambassador muttered, “What’s the meaning of an aggravating…? ”

“Monster, opower, pelant, ghost, mysterious beings and phenomena beyond human understanding . I mean, all of it . ”

“What does it mean to be loved by a violent god?”

“It means exactly what it means, Ayaya . You are blessed by demons, blessed by the care of the mighty and the blessings of Pelant . ” The face of the immortal ambassador who said that seemed pleasant, but Lee Sung-min was not pleasant .

I didn’t know what “dysfunctional” meant, but I didn’t think the Immortal Ambassador would give me the right answer .

“Can’t you just tell me the truth instead of turning around?”

“Aha . If I had been able to do that, I would have stripped the flesh and lifted myself to heaven and sat on a throne . It’s been a long time, but it’s still a long time . ”

After all, I can’t tell you the truth again .

Lee Sung-min smiled, frustrated, then settled down .

“How did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“What’s with all the aggravation? Do you think the Immortal Ambassador sees my causality distorted?”

“Causality? I don’t know what that means . Aha . What I’m talking about is… it’s quite literal . Out of the scope of understanding, which humans don’t understand . Mysterious beings and all that,” the immortal ambassador said that with a sinister smile . The old man with the wrinkled, bearded face looked strangely like that .

“… I… have lots of questions . ”

“I can’t answer that for myself . Every human being who enters the abyss of mortality cannot give you an answer . ”

“… Can a god of mortality answer that?”

“If the god you speak of exists in this world, they cannot answer you,” The Immortal Ambassador giggled and laughed .

The laughter and the words held a strange echo . Lee Sung-min fixed his face and asked words held a strange echo, “Why?”

“Because they are no different from humans… . if you want to know what a tough guy who loves you is, yes . You’d better die quick . Then you will be able to be close to the mysterious being . ”

“What nonsense…” Lee Seong-min muttered .

The fire ambassador closes his eyes slightly . A moment later, when the eyes of the Immortal Ambassador opened, his eyes were full of white without any trace of black .

When Lee Sung-min and the Immortal Ambassador’s eyes met, he swallowed his breath heavily .

“Head north,” the immortal dialogue resounded in Lee Sung-min’s head .

My breath stops . My heart doesn’t beat . I tried to blink, but my eyelids didn’t move .

“North, where the ice caps won’t melt . If you have a relationship, you’ll meet a nobleman . No, it will be . ”

I can’t hear my voice . Has… time stopped? No, time is running out .

“Five years later, When winter freezes over . Then,” that was the last thing he said .

The light disappeared from the eyes of the Immortal Ambassador . It was not until the eyes of the Immortal Ambassador, who was tilting his head for a moment, returned to normal that the time slowed down and was accelerated .

Lee Sung-min blinked his eyes and kept his mouth shut . “That was…”

“Don’t ask,” the Immortal Ambassador swoops over his head, “I don’t remember what I said to you . What I just had in my body was not me, but the Holy Spirit . Chuckle! It’s a little ridiculous to talk about a spirit, not a Buddha, with my head shaven . ”

I’m confused in my head .

The Immortal Ambassador was very foreign compared to other people Lee Sung-min had met so far . Especially what the Spirit just said . North, where the ice caps won’t melt . Five years later, when winter freezes over .

Lee Sung-min frowned, thinking about what he said . “… why are you saying this to me?”

“Chuckle! Aha, you keep asking me questions I can’t answer . It is not that you do not answer, but that you cannot answer . It would be impossible for most beings to answer your question,” The immortal ambassador reached out his hand saying so .

“Sword Dragon . I’ve heard stories from that arrogant boy . I heard you have the Shaolin paperwork . What do you have?”

“… have the right to immunity, the right to protect me, and the right to drink . ”

“It’s not that great of a bureaucracy . The representative law of Shaolin is Vaccine, the representative law is My Aid, and the representative law is Moon & Moon . Do you know what that means? It means it’s common . ”

Listening to the immortal ambassador, Lee Sung-min took out the three volumes of blank books he had in his arms .

“How did you get your hands on the unusual?”

“… I found a corpse . ”

“The corpse . Who was it?”

“… Xeon . ”

“Xeon . Yes . There was one in Shaolin . ”

Xeon, Shaolin’s fastest disciple, who was wielding his notoriety in Behenger .

Shaolin’s director, Immortal Ambassador, was all he could think about . Immortality ambassadors left behind some papers received from Lee Sung-min .

Lee Sung-min was dumbfounded as he had no idea that the books he had brought here would be treated like that .

“It’s old . Take it . ” The Immortal Ambassador rummages through his possessions and throws something stacked on paper to Lee Sung-min .

Lee Sung-min stretched out his hands and received it .

“Great company . Eat up,” the immortal ambassador said, revealing this .

At that, Lee Seong-min opened the paper in shock . Just as the Immortal Ambassador said, inside, he found a spectacular group that exudes a pleasant fragrance .

“If you’re such a common artisan, why are you giving me the Great Sage?”

“Ah-ha, you’re such a dick to me . Why, if you don’t want to, can you switch to the fire brigade?”

“No, I’m not saying no…” Lee Seong-min shook his head .

The immortal ambassador smiled greatly .

“Wijihoyeon . ”

Lee Sung-min’s shoulders flinched when the ambassador spit out the name .

“About a month ago . A boy named Wijihoyeon came here . ”

“… Yes?”

“Wijihoyeon . It’s called the Little Horse . It’s so weird . The child I saw called Wijihoyeon was not called Sothon Ma . Currently, there are three children called ‘Heavenly Horse’ in this world, including the girl . In my opinion, the child called ‘Heavenly Horse’ was the closest to the star sign . ”

The Immortal Ambassador smiled . Sword dragon Nam Gong-hee Won… said that Gwangcheon Ma’s Wall is the right person for the stars . However, Shaolin’s director, Immortal Ambassador, says that Wijihoyeon is closest to the star sign, “Thousand Horses . ”

“The boy has the fate of the king . Unless he’s caught up in a transcendent prank, he’ll be in absolute existence . I’ve lived a long time, but I’ve never seen a child more powerful and capable than him . ”

“… why did you say that to me?”

“He said the name is Lee Sung-min . ” The eyes of the Immortal Ambassador bent .

“I talked a lot with Wijiho-yeon . The fate and qualities of his king will soon be the thousand horses that rule over him, subduing him . It was just a curiosity . What kind of life did the child who would inevitably become a giant live in this world? What was the encounter like?”

Lee was silent as he wondered what the Immortal Ambassador would say and what Wijiho-yeon would say . Lee Sung-min was intrigued by the name ‘Lee Sung-min’ .

“The first friend I ever made . That’s what they say . That’s why I became interested in the name Sung-min . I didn’t think that Lee Sung-min would be loved by a violent person . ”

The Immortal Ambassador laughed .

Lee Sung-min laughed a little, and what the immortal ambassador said made him feel a little heartfelt . The first friend he ever made and his only friend .

The only thing I’m going to do… now that I’m four years away from Wijiho-yeon, does that mean she hasn’t made any friends beside me?

“I’ve lived a long life . The whole shaman was already completed, but my qualities did not remove the mortal veil from the shaman’s end . I put my hands on a lot of this and that . That’s what the star sign is,” —he chuckled— “The old man who is the head of Shaolin is eating, drinking and touching the arts and judgments . How can he not call him a pervert? Well, I’m not complaining about my qualities that haven’t seen the end of nothingness . Thanks to you, I was able to perform a few strange talents . ”

The Immortal Ambassador raised his hand and swept down his bald head, “I knew you would come here . Yes . Ever since Wijiho-yeon came here a month ago… I knew ‘Lee Sung-min’ would come here . So I told Wijiho-yeon that Lee Sung-min will be here in a month . ”

“… What did Weijihoyen… said?”

“’What does it matter?’ he asked,” The immortal ambassador laughed loudly .

“You said it’s not your time yet . He asked me to do something about it . If you come here and your skills don’t matter… just take a look at the work . ”

There are still six years left until I promised to meet with Wijiho-yeon .

He made a promise when he was 14 years old, and he decided to meet when he was 24 years old . He was still 18 years old .

“You’re weird . The second thing about being loved by a dysfunctional god… You are so weird . Sims, chi, sieves are all tangled up in a mess . Aha . I’ll tell you in my old age . If you go on like this, you will not last years and you will lose everything . ”

“Yes . Right now, you’re like a bomb that’s going to explode . I haven’t been able to touch your tangled body and soul for a long time . ”

“Then… what should I do?”

“I don’t know . ” The immortal ambassador said with a cheeky face .

“Wijiho-yeon . I like that kid . I’ve decided to take care of your shaman . Stay in Shaolin if you want . Maybe we’ll get something if we’re lucky . ”

“You want to guide me?”

“It is impossible to repair your deformed body, the seam, the chi and the torso . But I can take care of your skirting . Yes… But I can’t lead these labors and guide you one by one . So,”

Geology . The battle for immortality resounded far away . Not long ago, a handsome young man entered the cave .

“That child is the future of Shaolin . ”

Even though he was handsome, he was bald . A young man, called “geography”, who was subdued, bowed his head in unison toward Lee Sung-min and the non-immortal ambassador .

“Lightly rub it in . ”

Yesterday and today, there were so many people who wanted to dance .
