Episode 1134 Let’s get to know each other! (4)
“Ha….”
Cheongmyeong stretched out with an infinitely refreshed face. Even his face looked shiny.
“I think I’ll live a bit now.”
“….”
“So you should have done it in moderation, Sasuk.”
As Cheongmyeong glanced down and said what Baekcheon said, tears formed in the corners of Baekcheon’s eyes.
‘I told you to do it, you bastard.’
Whenever you criticize someone instead of accepting them, they say it was too much now. What kind of music should we dance to?
Of course… Baekcheon wasn’t without his inner worries. It was a little excessive. It was a bit… no, actually, it was a lot excessive.
“Anyway, I don’t know the extent of using a sword. “If you let them go, they will climb up as soon as you let them go.”
Uduk. Uduk.
Cheongmyeong bent his neck left and right and looked around at the people lying there.
As I looked at the miserable mess, I felt proud as if I had accomplished something amazing.
If they were all in a normal state, even if Cheongmyeong had joined hands with other lords and elders, they would not have been able to wipe them out so cleanly.
However, these crazy people didn’t sleep for nearly ten days and kept fighting with each other, so they were in a situation where they would get off if someone next to them touched them. Therefore, there was no way I could deal with strong players who had preserved their stamina while leisurely watching.
“Especially you! “You bastard!”
Cheongmyeong kicks the person who fell at his feet.
Lim So-byeong, who was half distraught, rolled around helplessly as soon as Cheongmyeong was satisfied.
“Even if you do it, you have to do it in moderation! “You set fire to people while they’re sleeping?”
“Hwagong… is a strategy that has been used since ancient times…”
“This is what left the energy. It’s also persistent. “Please die!”
Cheongmyeong, who had kicked Lim So-byeong, turned around with a relieved face. Tanggunak approached with a mysterious expression. Cheongmyeong said hello.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Hmm.”
Tanggunak scratched his cheek slightly with an uncharacteristically suspicious expression on his face.
“I did what you asked, but… I don’t know if it was a really good thing.”
“For that matter, you look quite happy.”
Tang Gunak blushed slightly and cleared his throat. Of course, I’m thinking this now, but when I was throwing coins at the party bastards a little while ago, I felt relieved.
“Originally, children grow up with some beatings.”
“They’re kids…”
Tanggunak looks at the people lying around with a subtle look on his face. In Saga, they would have already started a family and had children. Can these guys be called kids?…
“Well, we didn’t do it with emotions, it’s just a form of training.”
“…That’s right.”
Tang Junak nodded at Meng Xiao’s words. Of course, I was a little stung when I heard that it wasn’t about emotions.
“Everyone listen carefully.”
It was doubtful whether the fainted people could hear clearly, but Cheongmyeong shouted without paying attention.
“I will practice the same way tomorrow. “Don’t be too harsh, everyone, come out.”
“….”
“It looks like you have too much strength to solve it, but I will help you solve it very well. more!”
“….”
“Let’s go.”
“That’s right.”
“Oh my, I feel refreshed. “Giggle, giggle.”
Cheongmyeong walked away from the training hall accompanied by the heads of each clan.
Looking at Jogeol, who was covered in dust and lying on the floor, he muttered softly.
“…pup.”
Everyone strongly agreed with that statement, at least in their hearts.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“What?”
“Everyone seems to have passed their limits now, but repeating the same training in this situation…”
Tanggunak is worried about nothing else.
The same training that Cheongmyeong mentioned would not be referring to sparring among themselves. This means that starting tomorrow, Cheongmyeong, the other lords, and the elders will be training to push them.
“Do you have any problem?”
“…Shouldn’t we give him some time to rest?”
“no way. “The head of the family is too confident.”
“hmm?”
“Do you think we can win if they’re not in that state?”
Tang Gunak remained silent, as if he was lost in thought, and his expression hardened.
“It won’t be easy.”
“If you shake it off thoroughly, it will be good to shake it off in the future.”
“…I think my intentions are a bit impure.”
Cheongmyeong answered harshly.
“Because that’s the key.”
Tang Gunak tilted his head.
“What does that mean?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“Now you will all have an idea of the level of skills of those working with you. “Because we fist-fighted with each other and reached the bottom.”
“yes.”
The problem is that we looked at it a bit too much.
“I was thinking up to that point. It’s a bit more than I thought… a bit um. Yes, a bit much.”
“Probably a lot.”
“…Honestly, I didn’t know they were that crazy. “Even if it’s a volcano, why is it like that?”
“Have you ever heard of the term ‘hard work, hard work and hard work?’”
“Well, the party song is a little dark.”
When Tanggunak, who was speechless, turned around with a shocked expression on his face, Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyway, we have to get there. “By nature, people cannot understand each other properly due to poor etiquette.”
“But aren’t there only bad feelings left?”
“That’s why continuous training is necessary.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong grinned.
“Do you know when a person really needs a companion?”
“…well.”
“When I don’t have the strength to lift a finger, but there’s an enemy in front of me that I can’t do anything about on my own.”
Cheongmyeong said calmly.
“At that time, everyone becomes really desperate. “Whether it’s the person I had a fist fight with yesterday or the person I always considered an enemy, I can’t be that happy and grateful.”
Tang Gunak quietly nodded. I’ve never experienced it, but I can understand it. Don’t you get the answer just by thinking about how the Namgung family, who were trapped on Maehwa Island without having to go far, reacted to the volcano?
Since then, the Namgung family has regarded Hwasan as an unrivaled benefactor in the world.
“If that happens, it will come together on its own.”
“…That means…”
Tang Kun-Yeok narrowed his eyes slightly after understanding Qingming’s words.
“You’re saying that it takes a common enemy to bring people together.”
“yes. “It’s a powerful enemy that I can’t even think of doing anything about.”
Cheongmyeong slowly raised his head and looked up at the distant sky.
When the Demonic Cult first appeared, the midfield was literally divided into four parts. Or, to be more precise, even in the early days of the war against the Demonic Cult, it was a mess.
There is no need to look for a reason. To the strong men of the time, the guys next door who had been growling at each other were more annoying than the crazy guys who suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Wasn’t that why Hwasan couldn’t share the same position as Jongnam even on the battlefield?
However, as the war continued and the extent of the power of the Demonic Cult was realized, and most of all, as people understood what kind of bastard the Cheonma was, their relationship with each other was sealed to some extent.
Even if it was not a battlefield, at least those at the forefront of the battlefield gave their backs to the disciples of the same sect as their enemies without question.
That’s how camaraderie is born.
‘Well… those guys who did that fell to the ground at the top of Hundred Thousand Mountains.’
This probably had a big impact on the fact that later powerhouses were ruined and volcanoes were destroyed. If even a single survivor had been left behind, they would have become the heroes of the Gangho and led the Gangho of the future.
The reason for the whole situation is that only the cowards and incompetent people who could not participate in the death-defying group survived and led the powerhouse.
In any case, the conclusion is that it was none other than the existence of the Heavenly Demon that brought the divided Gangho into one place, even if only on the surface.
“It will happen this time too. “Because there is Jang Il-so and that bastard Cheonma might come back too.”
“hmm.”
“But if we try to come together then, it will be too late. “At that time, you will not be beaten like you are now, but you will pay with your life.”
How many sacrifices were made and how much blood was shed before the powerful forces came together with one purpose?
“You have to experience it in advance. “Seeing the bottom of an ally, fighting against a powerful enemy, and situations where just having someone who was roaring and fighting by your side gives you strength.”
“….”
“It may not be comparable to experiencing it yourself, but at least it’s better than not doing it, right?”
Qingming turned his head and looked at Tang Junyu and Meng Xiao. Meng Xiao struck the player before Qingming could open his mouth.
“If you’re going to do it, do it right.” “Don’t regret losing your archers later.”
“yes.”
Cheongmyeong grinned.
“Well… I may hear some resentment, but listening to resentment is better than watching children die, right?”
It is unclear whether the words were said with that intention, but these words became an extremely sharp dagger and pierced Tang Junak and Meng Xiao.
As Qingming said, the most important thing for a sect’s master to do is protect the sect. It’s not about holding back for fear of receiving resentment or losing your authority. Even if we have to endure criticism and see disciples rise up, we must lead them to a path of survival.
okay. It had to be that way.
But by this time, Tang Junak and Meng Xiao had not been able to do so. They just backed off, saying that it was something they couldn’t do and that only volcanoes could do.
“…It was this way.”
“What are you talking about?”
Tang Gunak smiled bitterly as he looked at Cheongmyeong, who was acting strangely.
‘I thought you were angry at those kids.’
It seems that the place where Cheongmyeong’s anger was actually directed was the door owners of each gate. Beating up those kids today may have been a punishment for their self-indulgence, but it was also a warning to the owners who had allowed the situation to this extent.
“…I understand what you mean.”
Tang Gunak sighed deeply.
I knew that the party song had to change as well. Considering what they will have to go through in the future, it will be difficult for them to survive like this. However, it seems that he had already excluded himself from the target of change that he had imagined in his head.
He believed that if Cheongmyeong could lead the children of the Tang family well, the Tang family would also change.
‘That can’t be possible.’
If the water above is not clear, how can the water below become clear? If you think about it, it’s such an obvious thing.
“It’s a shame.”
“You’re just saying things that don’t make sense.”
Tang Gunak smiled bitterly as he looked at Cheongmyeong shrugging his shoulders, pretending not to know anything. Meng Xiao was also nodding his head with a serious face, as if he had the same thoughts as Tang Junyu.
‘It wasn’t a punishment for treating King Green and Nangung Sogaju like they did.’
There was no need to whip them separately. Because they were already trying to blend in with others and be different.
Once I understood the meaning, I realized how pathetic I was for laughing at that image. My face felt hot again.
How ugly must it have been for someone who tried to change and was treated the same way to be laughed at by someone who couldn’t be with them because they were stagnant?
Although it was the children who were beaten today, the ones who were actually punished were Tang Gunak and Maeng Xiao.
“Hmm.”
Tang Gunak cleared his throat loudly, made up his mind, and looked at Cheongmyeong.
“…If what you say is true, we will have to become an even more powerful enemy. Even if there is a little bit of bad feelings built up.”
“It would be better than fighting among ourselves.”
Tangjunak and Meng Xiao spoke as if they understood, and Cheongmyeong grinned.
“If you’re going to do it, I’ll ask for it clearly.”
“I understand.”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
Nodding his head, Tang Gunak felt one thing again.
‘In the end, all this training wasn’t about getting everyone to be of one mind.’
They feud, fight, and growl over petty differences. And in the face of an ever more powerful enemy, we join forces with those who were fighting until yesterday to fight against it.
This is what they will have to go through one day against that demonic religion. It was in this manor that Cheongmyeong created the pain that Cheon Woo-maeng would later experience in a much more moderate way.
The reason why I had to go through that annoying, cumbersome, and frustrating process was very clear.
All of Qingming’s action principles are one. To save even one more of Hwasan’s disciples. Now it is not just volcanoes that need to be saved.
Not just words, but sincerely.
“…I guess I misunderstood you a little.”
“yes?”
“It’s a shame, but I really thought you were so angry that you beat up the kids. “I didn’t even know that everyone had their own thoughts.”
“….”
“Now that I see it, scolding those kids today was all according to your plan…”
Tanggunak suddenly stopped while speaking.
This is because Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes and avoided gaze.
“…you?”
“Ha… Haha! sure! It was originally today! “I had an idea!”
“….”
“Oh my gosh, this got caught. “Shamefully.”
Tanggunak, who was staring blankly at Cheongmyeong’s back as he turned and walked away, soon burst out laughing.
“I can’t stop you.”
He shook his head and spread his shoulders.
I understand Qingming’s intention. Now what he has to do is clear.
“Then, let’s try becoming the head of the devil’s family for a while.”
Tang Gunak, showing his motivation to the fullest, clenched his fists tightly.
The sound of the bones cracking coming from his hands seemed to tell the future of the Heavenly Demons who were unaware of the meaning.
