Episode 1163 What should we do? (3)
“Old…file room….”
“…return?”
A groan-like voice leaked from the mouths of the volcano disciples.
Their eyes were constantly scanning the court. As if he wanted to check if what he just heard was true. That’s how big of a shock it is.
However, the shock they received was nothing compared to what Hyeonjong and the elders received.
Ugh.
Hyeonseon’s hand was on his thigh with such force that it seemed as if it would pierce the flesh at any moment. But the phenomenon did not even feel pain.
The return to the old file room. Who would have imagined that such words would come out of the mouth of a court?
The disciples don’t know. The white porcelain and celadon pears here would not even be able to imagine what these words mean to the wise men.
They watched with their own eyes. How did the ancestors of Hwasan, who were kicked out of the old file room, close their eyes? Until the moment I closed my eyes, I could not bear the bitterness and still clearly remembered the deaths of those who hoped that the name of Hwasan would come again in the distant future.
Their teacher also left after repeatedly urging them to do so. He begged, pleaded, and cried until the end, asking that one day he would raise the volcano back to its former glory and restore it to its former glory. Even though I know that it is a dream that can never be achieved.
But now, the person who has the power to accomplish that task has suggested that he come back.
Of course, courts have said the same thing in the past. However, to the court at that time, ‘Hwasan’s return to the old world’ would have been nothing more than a sweet bait and a check to manipulate Hwasan as he pleased.
However, Hwasan is no longer a place where the court can do as it pleases, and it is no longer a place where the government can just throw in an empty check and then move on. Hwasan is now a sect that can be held accountable for its statements in court.
The fact that the court, which could not have been unaware of that fact, said this meant that this proposal was sincere.
“Those words…”
Hyeonjong, who was about to ask if he was serious, suddenly closed his mouth. No matter what he says now, the situation is awkward. He is not only the leader of Hwasan, but also the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance.
The condition for disbanding Cheonwoomaeng should not be the fruit that returns to Hwasan.
“You are saying too much.”
At that moment, Tanggunak opened his mouth.
“Volcanoes are the core of the natural world. “No matter how great Gu File Il Bang is, there is nothing greater than the position of head of Cheon Woo Meng.”
“Hmm. “You might think so.”
The court also readily acknowledged the fact.
“And if the Cheonwoo Alliance is disbanded, what will happen to the remaining sects?”
“Is there any problem?”
“…yes?”
The court smiles.
“What’s awkward is that the Tang family belongs to the Cheonwoo Alliance. Is it really a problem for the Tang family to return to the original Five Generations? A Tang family that has been there for hundreds of years?”
“….”
“Namgoong is the same. “What is so strange about the Namgung family reusing the name of the Five Great Families?”
“We have no intention of doing that.”
When Namgung Dowi answered calmly, the court shook its head.
“Sogaju. “I have nothing to say to my Lord Soga.”
“….”
“But if you truly care about your family, you should let go of your stubbornness.”
“I think being with Cheon Woo-maeng is for the good of the family.”
“Of course it is now. “So what about a hundred years from now?”
“Of course…”
“Do you think that even after the Lord is not here, there is no Hwasan Sword Association, and everyone here returns to dust, it will be beneficial to the family to belong to the Cheonwoo Alliance?”
“….”
“Probably not. no. It is not that I do not know the high meaning and lofty ideals of my Cheonwoomaeng. But that…”
the court declared in a calm voice.
“It was not created by Tianyu Meng, but by a few people here. “Am I wrong?”
Nangong Daowi’s face distorted.
“It will be okay if we continue that purpose.”
“It is not easy for one clan to continue the will of its predecessors, but do you really think it is possible for Cheonwoomaeng, a union of numerous clans, to continue the will of generations?”
“….”
“So Jiaju is a great person. That could be possible. One Sogaju. There is no guarantee that the next generation of Sogaju will be someone like Sogaju. And the next generation will be even more so.”
The court shook its head.
“Cheonwoo Meng will not last long.”
“No, but…”
“It’s not because I don’t have enough blindness. Rather, it is because it is too much. Human vessels have limitations in the first place. Can they really handle Tian Yu Meng’s broad intentions?”
No one could easily answer that question.
“I know because I’ve been through it. I was a person who did not think that my vessel was small, but I did not understand the meaning of Cheonwoomaeng. If you do, I will ask. What would happen if someone like me appears among the descendants of Cheon Woo-maeng? “If I appear in an era where there is no Hwasan Sword Association and no Hyeonjongjinin, what will happen to Cheonwoomaeng?”
“Uh…”
This time, no one could bear to say anything. It’s obvious what you’re expecting, but the moment you say it out loud, it will be a disparagement of the court.
“But is it really for the future to maintain blindness to heaven?”
At that time, Baekcheon spoke coldly in a sharp voice.
“I don’t know if I’m in a position where I can dare to open my mouth, boss. In Cheonwoomaeng, there are not only us but also other people. You did not invite them to the table to say this….” “We
will remove the word ‘Sae-oe’ attached to the two sects of the North Sea Ice Palace and the Namman Beast Palace and recognize the two sects as the sects of the central plains.”
“….”
“And the support for them is not like it is now. I promise to do more than that. Then they will be able to get what they want so much. What Cheon Woo-maeng cannot give. “Not as a barbarian on the outskirts, but as a proud entry into the center of the central plain.”
“What about Noklim! Even though Nokrim is a Sapa, he is a Cheonwoomaeng!”
The court laughs at Jogeol’s hysterical cries.
“That worries me too. It might be something we can discuss together. But isn’t Green Forest already a place that can’t be called Sapa?”
“…Yes, but.”
“If Nokrim promises not to harm the civilians anymore, there is nothing that cannot be recognized as a political faction. “The Buddha also said to lead the wicked to repentance. Wouldn’t that be a great thing?”
“If that’s the case…”
Jogeol scratched her head and stepped back.
If Lim So-byeong had heard this, he might have rolled his eyes and sworn allegiance to the court. No matter how much preferential treatment the volcano gives to the green forest, it will never be able to create the same impact as the one once recognized by Shaolin.
“Isn’t that enough?”
At that time, Cheongmyeong, who had been listening calmly until now, opened his mouth.
“I think I’ve already given you the answer to that before. There is no reason for us to return to the old file room, which is only a facade….”
“Is it okay if it is not just a facade?”
“Eh?”
The court looked at Cheongmyeong and smiled.
“I promise that Hwasan will be given the same status as Shaolin.”
“what?”
For a moment, Cheongmyeong spoke informally without realizing it. These words were shocking even to Cheongmyeong, who thought he was holding the court’s manipulations in the palm of his hand.
What kind of place is Shaolin?
It is a place where Hwasan did not give up his noble pride as the leader of the nine factions, even when Hwasan was alone in preventing development during the war with the Demonic Cult.
However, compared to the volcanoes of that time, this means that the current volcanoes, which are still far inferior, will be given the position that they did not have back then.
“What nonsense….”
“I will declare this to the whole world in the name of the Shaolin leader. “Hwasan and Shaolin will work together on equal footing.”
“….”
Cheongmyeong’s mouth opened wide.
“Uh… room manager. “I’m just asking this just in case.”
“something?”
“Maybe you’ve got something on your pants these days, or you can’t remember where you are… Sigh!”
Cheongmyeong slumps forward on the spot. And Hyeonyoung secretly retrieved the foot that had kicked Cheongmyeong in the back of the head.
“I’m sorry, manager. This guy goes crazy from time to time…”
“What about the elder?”
“My name is Hyeonyoung.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
The court blinked. As if he didn’t know that among the elders of the volcano, there would be someone who could step on Cheongmyeong.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
As if trying to calm his slightly shocked mind, the court frowned and looked straight at King Hyeonjong.
“Lord.”
“…Yes, Bangjang.”
“Of course, we know this is not enough. “All of this is just a very small price to pay for giving up what the volcano enjoys now and the path it is trying to take.”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong stood up and nodded his head up and down vigorously. The court spoke calmly.
“But even so, the lord must accept my suggestion.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“If the leader is just a volcanic figure, you can reject my offer. However, since you are the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance, you cannot refuse my offer.”
The court grinned as Hyeonjong showed signs of not understanding.
“The reason is simple. Because heavenly blindness is just heavenly blindness. “I ask you: when the Gupa Ilbang and Cheon Woo-maeng are in conflict like they are now, when they are divided and cooperate only to the bare minimum, and when they drop everything and become one again.”
Hyeonjong’s face hardened.
“Which of those three would be easier to deal with? And which of the three can save more lives?”
“That’s right…”
Hyeonjong couldn’t answer until the end, but it was no different from an answer. This is a question that even a little boy can answer on the spot.
“I believe that it is not a lie that Cheon Woo-maeng has been fighting for the common people. You have already proven its sincerity.”
The court glanced at the people sitting here.
“So, I dare you to ask. I will put Shaolin down first. So, please do not reject the opportunity to save more people and save the world because of your pride. please.”
Everyone became quiet, as if they were holding their breath. This is because the court slowly bowed its head on the spot.
Tang Gunak, whose face became even stiffer, bit his lip.
‘This… is an outsider’s trick.’
The justification that Cheon Woo-maeng has put forward so far. And the value I tried to protect. That was just an agreement. This could be said to be everything about Cheonwoomaeng.
But now, that agreement had become an even sharper dagger, aiming at his throat.
‘Court…’
Tanggunak, who momentarily felt a terrible fear of the person called the court, grabbed his thigh without even realizing it.
I felt pressure as if someone was slowly, very slowly, tightening my neck with a large rope.
