Episode 1522. Now that I think about it, I was wrong. (2)
Paaaaat.
About a dozen people ran through Guando while the dew from last night had not yet dried.
“How long does it take to reach Shaanxi?”
“If nothing else happens, it will probably take two days at most.”
“It’s only two days… If I go, I’ll have to work again.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. In the meantime, I’m thinking about getting rid of my ass. “This is the problem.”
“…But wouldn’t it have been largely completed by now?”
“The little things will never end. I guess…”
“Yes. Managing people is not easy. People create work just by multiplying? “That’s why we have a hard time.”
The faces of the volcano disciples all turned to one place. For some reason, I keep feeling like a foreign object is interjecting into the conversation…
“But.”
“huh?”
“Can you stay here?”
Hong Dae-gwang, who received everyone’s attention, asked, ‘Is there a problem?’ I shamelessly faced them with a questioning look on my face.
“why?”
“…Amitabha Buddha. “Shouldn’t the Lord be present in the collapsed open space now, rather than worrying about Cheonwoo-maeng?”
“Tsk tsk. “He’s a monk who only lives in the mountains, so he doesn’t know anything about the spiritual world.”
“…yes?”
Hong Dae-kwang shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Originally, the place called the Ark is not a place to do such trivial things. “The most important thing is to promote relationships between clans.”
“….”
“So what is the most important thing to me right now? The relationship with Cheon Woo-maeng! And the relationship with you is the core within Cheonwoomaeng! Wouldn’t that strengthen that relationship? “This is all work!”
“That relationship is falling apart now?”
“huh? why?”
“Ugh…”
A sigh escaped from the mouths of the volcano disciples. I thought I got away cleanly, but something stuck.
He or even started to tease Cheongmyeong by poking him.
“Hey, volcano god dragon. Please wake up. How long are you going to sleep? Of course, I know it’s good for me because the Ilgeom Spectacle has a wide backboard.”
Jo Geol, who was running while looking straight ahead, asked Baekcheon.
“Sasook. “Can I hit this guy?”
“…don’t do that. “He is the one who will become the ark.”
“After all, we beat up people who will become long-time writers, right?”
“…Did you hit me?”
Jo Geol said, “Oops,” and avoided Baek Cheon’s eyes.
At that time, Cheongmyeong made a groaning sound and turned over. Something flowed out of his slightly opened mouth.
“evil! It’s wet! “Stop drooling, you bastard!”
“Off… don’t scream. “My head is pounding.”
“What and how much did you drink?”
“Woo wow….”
“Oh no!”
Jo Geol suddenly picked up the thing on her back and threw it away. Then Cheongmyeong spun around in the air and landed on the floor.
“Uwaeeeeeeek!”
“…Ten points.”
“uh. “Ten points for me too.”
“Eleven points, including the artistry in the finish.”
“Isn’t that a deduction factor?”
Cheongmyeong pounded his chest and shook his head. The hangover must have been really bad.
“Hey, volcano god dragon. It’s okay…. Argh! “Don’t wipe your vomit mouth with someone else’s sleeve!”
“…It’s shabby anyway.”
“What is he saying now! “You crazy guy!”
Hong Dae-gwang got fed up and quickly ran away from Cheongmyeong. Cheongmyeong squirmed and grumbled.
“Off. I’m really dying. How strong is that nobleman’s alcohol…”
“Ah, Ark? Our king Geoji was originally famous for his horsemanship. There weren’t many people I drank with, so the rumor didn’t spread. Oh no, don’t say anything. As for what happened to me in the past…”
“Oh, that’s enough. “Because I’m not interested in things like old times.”
Hong Dae-gwang, who was heartbroken, quickly became sullen. Cheongmyeong paid no heed and asked with a straight face.
“More than that… why are you here?”
“I told you. Are you going to go to Cheonwoomaeng?”
“why?”
“Why? Jang Moon-in… No, I have to say hello to the leader. “Please take care of me in the future.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes narrowed.
“You didn’t jump because you didn’t want to work?”
“Uh-huh! “What does this guy think of Hong Dae-gwang?”
Cheongmyeong thought seriously. If you truly care about the future of openness, you might as well bury this gentleman somewhere…
“Well, that’s one thing, but right now, there’s nothing good about me being there.”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
When Cheongmyeong asked, Hong Dae-gwang briefly clicked his tongue and said.
“Now that the Ark and Ilhosingae have declared that they will give me a place on the Ark, the elders will be looking for me like crazy.”
“…why?”
“That’s just the way those gentlemen work. Since the previous one has lost its power, it will try to attach itself to the one that has newly gained strength. “If I stay in the opening, I can’t avoid that situation.”
“Hmm.”
“But if you push them away again, won’t those people feel a sense of crisis? One way or another, the best thing is the one that is not noticeable.”
Cheongmyeong looked completely shocked, but if you think about it, Hong Dae-gwang’s words made sense.
“I know what you mean, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, right? “Sticking means you’re going to lie down anyway.”
“It’s not a bad thing! How clever are those old monsters? “He will definitely pretend to lie flat on his face and try to manipulate me as he pleases.”
“Well, that’s natural.”
Hong Dae-gwang snorted.
“and! The Ark said it would bury the elders’ mistakes, but I have no intention of doing so. “If you committed a crime, you have to pay for it.”
Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes were resolute, as if he had already made up his mind. Cheongmyeong looked at Hong Dae-gwang with slightly new eyes.
“Eh? What are you going to do? I guess they didn’t leave the ark alone because it was pretty? If the open society, which already has a weak group of experts, eliminates all of those people, it really just becomes a group of beggars, right?”
“Knock it out? That’s ridiculous. If you hit it, you’ll go somewhere and play sinseon, but is that punishment? “It’s a prize.”
“…then?”
“We’re going to push everything into the wire.”
“…huh?”
Cheongmyeong was taken aback for a moment. What does this beggar say now?
“There is no need to sacrifice the beggars on the front lines. We will push all the elders into the Sapaeryeon front and cut off their support. It is treated the same as flat bedding. Oh, and we will also abolish all the privileges that the elders have.”
“…That much?”
“You don’t know because you are from outside.”
Hong Dae-gwang snorted.
“They talk about the direction of the ark, but that’s all bullshit. In my opinion, the biggest reason why openness has gone sour is because the elders have forgotten the days when they lived as beggars. Only when you feel cold and hungry again will you understand the hardships of beggars and the suffering of the powerless. So, I’m going to beat those elders.”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes.
“Oh no. “I understand what you mean, but…”
“Right? “Do you understand?”
“No, but who will take care of it? Aren’t bamboo spears fair to everyone? “The bamboo spears carried by the elders would not be able to handle it, no matter how tough your skin is.”
“ha ha ha. So, I’m going to Cheonwoomaeng now, right?”
“Eh?”
“Volcano God Dragon!”
Hong Dae-gwang grabbed Cheongmyeong’s hand.
“Save me!”
“….”
“There is no need for you to come in person. All you need to do is send some elites from the Tang Dynasty or Prince Namgung from Cheonwoomaeng. If you just protect me until the things I said are stabilized …. “
Taah!”
Hong Dae-gwang, who was speaking, suddenly fell forward with a light threshing sound.
“omg? “Ark?”
At the spot where Hong Dae-gwang fell, Pungyeongsingae suddenly appeared and stood. His face, looking down at Hong Dae-gwang, was complex and strange, a mixture of irritation, anger, and even desperation.
Hwasan’s disciples nodded. Lord Ark. We fully understand that feeling.
Pungyeongsingae bowed his head slightly.
“…It was a nuisance.”
Then, he grabbed one of Hong Dae-gwang’s fallen feet.
“First, I will put you on the ark and send you to formally greet you.”
“That’s right.”
“then.”
Pungyeongsingae grabbed Hong Dae-gwang, who was lying like a boiled chicken, and disappeared like an illusion. It is indeed a new law that could be called Muheun.
“…It’s just retribution.”
“Justice will triumph.”
“You have to say enough bullshit to listen to me.”
Does it make sense for the person who was supposed to inherit the ark to be absent in the first place?
At that time, doubt and shock flashed across Baekcheon’s face. Yoonjong noticed this and asked.
“Why are you doing this, Sasuk? “What’s wrong?”
“No, that’s not true, I think it’s true that it’s a horsemanship that Lord Bangju knows… Cheongmyeong worked hard all night long with that guy, and no matter how hard he uses his strength to get rid of Judok, he can’t be that fine…” At once, everyone’s eyes turned
. I headed to Cheongmyeong.
Cheongmyeong was busy.
“Uwaeeeeeeek!”
“…It was not the God of Poongyeong, but the God of Jugwi (酒鬼).”
There is a sky above the sky. They were Hwasan’s disciples who once again realized this obvious fact.
“Okay… we’ve finally arrived.”
“I think it took a month to go, but it took a long time to come back.”
“It’s just a feeling. Or maybe it’s because I’m tired.”
Baekcheon agreed to Tang Soso’s words. It is a path to return after a fierce battle without proper rest. Of course it’s bound to be difficult.
But I couldn’t delay any longer. Because I know better than anyone else that there is a mountain of work going on in the chords right now.
“Anyway, I’m glad you arrived and have something to say.”
“yes. “If I had returned empty-handed, I would have had nothing to say even if I had been beaten to death.”
“If you think about it, didn’t we run away at night while others were working? “Even if you hang it upside down in a fire pit, you still have to be thankful.”
A sigh escaped me. It’s a shame because things went well…
Cheongmyeong, who came back alive on the way, said indifferently.
“If the results are good, everything is good.”
“You’re going to get seriously hurt someday.”
“I’ve already been injured several times. Death penalty. “The problem is that it doesn’t get fixed even after that.”
“…He is like that too.”
Baekcheon straightened his shoulders. Although the process was difficult, we were able to obtain cooperation from the public and even built a delicate relationship with Shaolin. This is a tremendous achievement compared to the time invested.
In a strange way, I felt like a triumphant general.
“It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.”
“Right? “I don’t think I’ve ever come back with such excitement recently.”
“I want to take a shower.”
“Go quickly, wash up, and rest!”
“Now, let’s go.”
Baekcheon and Bomu also confidently walked towards Hwaeum.
Before they could take a few steps, someone wandering near the entrance to the village spotted them. He quickly ran towards the disciples of the volcano.
“uh? “It looks like the Ungeom Sasukjo?”
“Have you already heard that we are coming?”
With joy, bright smiles spread across everyone’s faces.
Although we were only a few days away, I was very happy and happy to meet you here.
Ungeom also ran towards them, spreading his arms… or rather, one arm, as if welcoming them.
“You are so welcoming!”
“haha. “You’ve done something great!”
Cheongmyeong was about to step forward, sticking out his belly in triumph, but Baekcheon grabbed his ponytail and pulled him back.
“Tsk. Even cold water has its ups and downs.”
“…ouch. “Despicably!”
“Move!”
Baekcheon, who pushed Cheongmyeong back, greeted the approaching Ungeom with a bright smile and swept him away.
“Sasuk! I finished my work safely and returned…”
Baekcheon’s greeting could not be completed. Ungeom’s knee came like a thunderbolt and landed directly on Baekcheon’s forehead.
“Sweet!”
Baekcheon jumped back, making a completely unbecoming pig-snapping sound.
‘uh? what?’
‘Did I see something wrong?’
Hwasan’s disciples paused for a moment and looked at the cloud sword.
And then we faced each other.
A demon-like appearance of Ungeom that I have never seen before.
“Sasukjo?”
“You…”
Ungeom’s eyes were full of intense murder.
“Is it true that you went into the opening wearing Jongnam’s clothes and destroyed the opening headquarters?”
“…uh?”
That… uh… actually? Uh… it’s true.
“Now wait a minute. A private dormitory! Please listen first! “It all depends…!”
“Those so-called disciples of the volcano….”
Instead of retracting his fierce killing power, Ungeom gritted his teeth even more viciously.
“Not anywhere else but wearing Jongnam’s clothes?”
Ah… the problem wasn’t that he took down the headquarters, but that he wore Jongnam’s clothes. There is no excuse for that.
“I will definitely heal your rotten spirit today.”
“Sasukjo!”
“No, first listen to what I say!”
“Shut up!”
Ungeom, who had become a male Asura, kicked up the ground towards the pale-faced Ogeom. After a while, a miserable wail began to spread in all directions.
Later, Cheongmyeong recalled this day like this.
It is said that something scarier than the Heavenly Demon existed in the world.
