Episode 782. Let’s have some fun somewhere. (2)
“Volcano….”
The face of Heo Do-jin-in, a shaman, became cold, as if it were covered with thin ice.
After finishing the report, Heo Sanja swallowed dry saliva at the cold energy radiating from him.
Heo Do-jin-in held Datak tightly as if he was letting go of his anger.
Even after suffering a crushing defeat in the last match, he did not change much from the past. I just shook my head, thinking that I just needed to make up for what was lacking.
But it seemed like he couldn’t maintain his composure over just one word.
“You don’t sit still even for a moment. Volcano… Volcano!”
Heo Do-jin, who chewed his words, glared at He San-ja.
“They subjugated Suchae?”
“yes. Thanks to this, the residents around the Yangtze River are praising the volcano…”
“They are probably criticizing us.”
“…This is partly due to the volcano. “Maybe it’s because they are so busy, but the recent behavior of their enemies is unusual.”
“I guess the reason is good. What matters is the result. As a result, volcanoes are being praised again and we are being criticized, right?”
“…yes.”
Heo Do-jin, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Prepare the disciples.”
“yes?”
“I will go myself. I need to subdue at least one water drop. “A couple if you can afford it.”
Heo Sanja shouted in shock.
“Now, Jangmun-in. Are you saying you are going to the Yangtze River?”
“okay.”
“How…. a long story. Those who are talking now will soon forget as time goes by anyway. “Is there any need to waste energy?”
“People will forget.”
“…yes?”
Heo Do-jin coldly scolded him.
“But there is a volcano there. Have you forgotten? “Hwasan knows how to take the fame that has soared in such a short period of time and turn it into an advantage.”
“….”
“If we leave him alone this time, he will do something ridiculous again and try to get his hands on the Yangtze River.”
“Ha haona….”
Boom!
Heo Do-jinin hit Datak.
“Isn’t it even more foolish to ignore volcanoes even after being humiliated like that?”
“….”
“If it were a volcano like before, I wouldn’t do something like this. But it’s not the volcano it used to be anymore. It’s no big deal that their power has gotten stronger. The problem is that the volcano created a force called Cheonwoomaeng.”
“….”
“There is no fool who would choose Hwasan over Gupa. But if it were Cheonwoomaeng instead of Gupa, it would be a different story! “If you give one inch at a time like that, your position will eventually turn around.”
“How can they compare to the Nine Sects?”
“It’s still too early. Not yet.”
“….”
“But I said the same thing the first time I heard the name of the volcano again.”
He Sanja slowly closed his mouth.
“But what about now? Volcanoes, which were once considered laughable to face in person, are now stabbing us with sharp daggers under our chins. “Is it important to save face even when things end up like this?”
“….”
“Stop talking nonsense and get ready. I will go to the Yangtze River. “The player has been taken away, but it is not too late.”
Even Heo San-ja knows that there is nothing wrong with Heo Do-jin’s words. To begin with, Heo Do-jin’s thoughts are different in depth. Of course, we will look further and deeper.
But even so, Heo Sanja could not shake off his hesitation.
This is because it was not easy to determine whether Heo Do-jin’s command came from deep insight or bad feelings toward that volcano.
“Jang Moon-in. “I…”
That was then.
“Jangmun-in!”
A loud voice was heard outside the door.
“We’re talking about something important, so come later.”
“It’s a long letter… that’s what the letter came from.”
“I’ll see you later.”
“This is a letter from the head of Shaolin.”
“…bring it in.”
“yes.”
When the door opened, the person who came in handed me a sign and went out again. After opening the envelope and unfolding the letter, the corner of Heo Do-jin’s mouth twitched strangely after a moment.
Heo Sanja, who was examining him, asked cautiously.
“May I ask what it is about?”
“They are sending disciples from Shaolin to Yangtze River.”
“…yes?”
“You say you want to subdue Suchae. “He pretended to be polite, but it looks like he couldn’t hold back this time.”
Heo Sanja’s eyes widened.
‘Even in So Shaolin?’
If so, it means that Heo Do-jinin’s thoughts were the same in Shaolin.
This means two things. Heo Do-jin’s judgment was not wrong. And….
‘Are you saying that Hwasan has now become a sect capable of influencing both Shaman and Shaolin, who can be said to be the heads of the nine factions?’
A sense of change is probably a word that should be used in times like this.
“If we procrastinate, Shaolin will also lose players. Get ready. “I will personally lead my disciples to the Yangtze River.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
Now that things were like this, even Heo Sanja could no longer stop Heo Dojinin.
“I will prepare right away.”
As Heo Sanja quickly went out, Heo Dojinin, who was left alone in the room, looked down at Datak with sunken eyes.
‘Volcano….’
I won’t let it run rampant any longer.
No more.
* * *
The whole world was feeling the changed status of the volcano.
Those who live in the Yangtze River, those who heard the news from far away, and even those who were busy moving around after hearing the news could no longer ignore the movement of the volcano.
As your influence grows, even every seemingly insignificant movement will have meaning that did not exist before.
What Huashan was doing on the Yangtze River grew and spread even further.
However…
the disciples of the Hwasan Sect who were actually involved did not realize the changed status at all.
No, rather than realizing it….
“Ugh….”
“Damn the rain….”
“What are you doing?
Kwak Hoe, who was pulling the cart, eventually fell forward. The cart he put down was literally piled up like a mountain of rocks and dirt.
“Wake up quickly! “Cheongmyeong may come!”
“There’s an uproar! “They’re going to tell me to run a lap of the Yangtze River because I don’t have the stamina because I haven’t trained?”
“Speaking of which makes sense, how can you run across the Yangtze River?”
“When did it ever make sense for that bastard to do something like that?”
Uh… that’s definitely true.
Eventually, Kwak Hoi groaned and got up. A long line of people stretching all the way to the river caught my eye.
“…You crazy guy.”
The instructions given to them by Qingming were very simple.
-You just need to do one simple thing. Can you see the river over there?
– huh. I can’t see it.
– Fill it up.
– huh?
– Fill it in.
– Yes?
fill the river
Is this really something people would think about?
Of course, Hwasan’s disciples, who have learned that there is nothing that a person cannot do with effort and that he can even destroy a mountain if he tries, are truly people who could easily fill up a decent river.
The problem is that the river in front of them is not an ordinary river, but the Yangtze River, the widest and longest river in the world. Even though the island they were on was in the middle, its width exceeded common sense.
“Why are you doing this… this crazy thing?”
“…They say that if you fill in a little bit of land on the other side of the island, the sea route will be shortened and it will be easier to defend. The artillery range is also good to utilize. And what did they say? Are you saying that if the river narrows in the middle, the flow speed becomes faster and it becomes difficult to attack by driving a boat?”
“Who asks because they don’t know that? “What kind of crazy person can solve a problem like this?”
“…That bastard didn’t think anything of it either.”
“But why?”
“Yu Sago said that the river was too wide, and Cheongmyeong said that it would be enough to fill it up.”
“Accident… Accident!”
Why…
Why on earth is that like that! why!
When have you ever seen that bastard solve a problem normally?
“But what’s even sadder is…”
“Huh?”
“…If you keep doing it, it will be filled up?”
“….”
That was even sadder.
I climbed all the mountains I could see nearby from the land across the island. As everything, including dirt and rocks, was thrown and poured, the river, which had seemed so wide, gradually became narrower.
‘Don’t let this happen, you crazy bastards…’
Those who are told to do it or those who do it just because they are told to do it.
If this were to be the case, wouldn’t it be better for the three generations to make a comfortable living if they only did construction work ordered by the government instead of living as a Taoist monk?
“…If this momentum continues, it will be over within seven days and nights?”
“No. The further you go, the deeper the river becomes. “It will take ten days.”
“Hey, you don’t know. There’s no way Cheongmyeong can end it like that. At the very least, what else are they going to order if the soil is not swept away by the current? “I see full moon.”
The disciples are now starting to get quite good at making estimates.
Because he was called to do so many different things and did physical labor, he was able to calculate faster than most experts.
“Five days.”
“what? Seriously, five days doesn’t make sense. “How do people do that?”
“are you okay. you can do it.”
“no way. Anyway, that’s… huh?”
The disciples who were talking noisily as they looked at the island across from them slowly turned their heads back.
A demon… no, Cheongmyeong was standing there.
“Cheongmyeong….”
“No. Why not? We have time to gather together like this, but if we can’t finish it within five days, we’re not human, right? is not it?”
“….”
“Go and work.”
“…Aren’t you going to hit me?”
“Why do I beat people when I’m bored?”
For a moment, Kwak Hoi almost answered ‘yes’, but quickly covered his mouth with his amazing wit.
“If you don’t finish it within five days, you will be hit twice.”
“….”
“Keep playing. Play as hard as you can. “It will make you realize how cold the riverbed is.”
“I’ll work on this. “Right now.”
“sudden!”
Kwak Hoi and his group were scared and ran to the riverside, pulling a cart.
“Tsk.”
Two conflicting emotions appeared simultaneously on the faces of the bandits who saw the scene.
One is the subtle joy that comes from the fact that that damn human being is not tormented because he is a thief, but simply harasses whoever he catches. And it was a distinct feeling of sadness that came from the same reason.
‘A man without blood or tears.’
‘Yacha!’
‘It’s not even a real person…’
It was just at the moment when Cheongmyeong was about to shake off his hand and move again.
“Hwa-San-Shin-Ryoooooooong!”
“Ah-oh! “My ears hurt!”
Cheongmyeong suddenly turned his head at the sound coming from afar. In his eyes, he sees a familiar face running towards him with all his might.
“Eh? “When did that guy come here again?”
Hong Dae-gwang ran with all his might and gasped in front of him.
“Oh panting! “Ah, I’m out of breath!”
“…Why did you come here again?”
“Is it possible for the thread to not sharpen when sharpening the needle?”
“Who is it? “A beggar who doesn’t even have thread to sew clothes.”
“No, not to that extent…. Oh no! This is not important! Volcano God Dragon! “We’re in big trouble!”
“why? Why are you making such a fuss again?”
“Now Shaolin and shamans are coming to the Yangtze River! “We will subdue Suchae!”
“oh?”
“That’s not all! Anhui’s Namgung family is also moving! And there is news that Qingcheng Island has departed for the Yangtze River from Sacheon!”
“Shaolin shaman Cheongseong… Namgung Segara.”
Cheongmyeong twitched the corner of his mouth.
“It looks like your ass is on fire. “Well… I guess I can’t watch it leisurely anymore like I used to.”
I expected it to move. However, the ship was faster than Cheongmyeong expected.
Even looking at the movements of the Namgung family, it seemed that Cheonwoo-maeng’s presence was putting more pressure on them than Cheongmyeong thought.
“What are you going to do now?”
“What?”
“I heard that Gupa and the Namgung family are coming to the Yangtze River.”
“So why is that?”
“We need to come up with great measures!”
“Why me?”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong snorted as if he had heard something absurd.
“They are not coming to fight me, they are coming to fight the enemy, so why am I taking action? “Surochae needs to come up with measures.”
“…uh?”
Is that so?
“I just have to watch the ritual and eat rice cake. “I should just watch the kids fight to the point of blood. Giggle, giggle, giggle.”
Cheongmyeong smiled as if he was in a good mood for the first time in a while and walked away.
“…Why did I come?”
Hong Dae-gwang, who had been running with sweat on his feet to deliver the news, only had his shoulders drooping.
