Episode 1162 What should we do? (2)
The atmosphere in the room was very strange.
Of course, the court was not that unfamiliar to those here. Haven’t the courts come to Hwasan several times and asked for dialogue first?
However, the person who communicated with the court so far was usually Hyeonjong or Cheongmyeong. This is my first time being together with so many people. So the atmosphere itself had no choice but to become subtle. Because no one was willing to open their mouth first.
Of course, it was Hyeonjong who opened his mouth to lighten the mood.
“We should at least bring tea, but I’m not prepared enough.”
“No, my lord.”
The court smiled.
“It looks like this is the Lord’s residence, and it is truly frugal. “I think the Lord Maeng’s personality is clearly revealed.”
“It’s just that I don’t have the proper amenities to live in a foreign country. “How can you be frugal?”
“haha. You are still humble. “Whenever I see Lord Maeng, I feel so embarrassed.”
“Smear some spit on the mouth of the middle finger… Eup! Ugh! town!”
Naturally, those who covered Cheongmyeong’s mouth smiled awkwardly, and Yu Iseol and Tang Soso took pictures of Cheongmyeong’s sides from both sides.
“….”
When the court looked at Cheongmyeong with eyes that said, ‘You, too, are you,’ Hyeonjong apologized on his behalf with a red face.
“I’m sorry… you know…”
“It’s not something you need to apologize for.”
The court laughed softly.
“Isn’t the bizarre behavior of an ordinary person considered disrespectful, but the bizarre behavior of a hero becomes a folk tale? “The Hwasan Sword Association is already qualified to do so.”
Hyeonjong sighed heavily. I’m such a proud student, but sometimes I’m really, really, really embarrassed.
“I don’t have anything to say…”
“I’m not just saying this.”
“yes?”
The court said with a smile.
“If you look at what the Huashan Sword Association has accomplished in Hangzhou and what it has done for the world so far, it is I who should show respect in front of it. “Isn’t it obvious to the eye who has helped all the people of the world more?”
“….”
“So please don’t mind.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Hyeonjong answered hesitantly, his mind becoming a little busy.
‘What are you thinking?’
Of course, it would be impossible for him to fully understand the court’s intentions, but for now, there was no pretense in the court’s words and attitude.
Therefore, King Hyeonjong also had no idea what kind of attitude he should have towards the court. Your feelings are already very hurt, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help but be polite, right?
“Bangjang.”
“Please tell me, ma’am.”
Tang Gunak looked at the court with a stern expression and said.
“It’s nice to exchange good words, but why did you come here?”
“hmm!”
The one who cleared his throat in displeasure was none other than Jong-ri-hyung.
“The head of the Tang family said that he was Cheon U-maeng’s second-in-command, and it seems that Cheon U-maeng’s power is great. “I saw someone who wasn’t even the leader begging the head of the house.”
Tang Jun-ye glared at Zhong Li-hyeong without saying a word. However, Zhongli-hyung also met his gaze without retreating an inch.
“That’s right. “I’m so happy to see you, so stop.”
However, their brief standoff was naturally resolved by the court’s soft voice.
The court slowly gathered in class and deeply bowed.
“First of all, on behalf of Gufa One Party, I would like to express my gratitude to those who helped suppress Hangzhou’s troubles.”
“How…”
“It was a collaboration that would last a long time. Due to my limited knowledge, I had no idea that you would finish your work so well.”
“….”
“And I hope you’ll forgive me for not coming sooner and thanking you because I was too narrow-minded.”
“What do you mean by that, boss? “I’m just grateful that you took this step.”
As the court continued to humble itself, King Hyeonjong’s attitude had no choice but to become lower.
Seeing that, everyone in the room painfully realized the power of the position of Shaolin leader. Even though I cursed and talked behind my back so much, the fact that the head of the house was sitting in front of me made me this nervous. It was especially so with the room manager who was so polite in front of me.
“If you’re going to say thank you when it’s all over, why not at least help in the first place?”
“Cheongmyeong!”
“Did I say something wrong?”
It seemed to be a little more calm now, so I let it go, and Cheongmyeong snapped at it. Just as Baekcheon was about to cover his mouth again, the court obediently nodded.
“That is correct. “I was foolish.”
“….”
“And you are the one who deserves this gratitude more than anyone else. “Thank you.”
Cheongmyeong, who had been staring blankly for a moment at the court bowing his head, suddenly had a twinkle in his eye.
“ah! I get it!”
“Uh huh?”
“You bastard, Hao Mun!”
“…Yes?”
“How dare this Sapa bastard pretend to be the Great King Bald… Eup! Ugh!”
Cheongmyeong was dragged away again. This time, Hye-yeon also stood next to Yu I-seol and Dang So-so and gave Cheong-myeong a hard slap on the side.
“Off!”
However, those who tried to stop Cheongmyeong felt the same. In particular, Jo Geol and Tang Soso were unable to hide their true feelings at all and asked, ‘What did this bastard do wrong on the way here?’ He looked at the court with an expression on his face.
“Do you feel strange?”
The court asked Hyeonjong with a smile, as if he understood their feelings.
“Rather than strange…”
Hyunjong covered his mouth, cleared his throat slightly, and continued.
“I’m a little embarrassed because you seem a little different from before.”
“You don’t have to think about it that way. “I just took a step back and looked at it from behind.”
“One step behind?”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The court quietly nodded.
“Even though I knew that the thing a practitioner should be most wary of is stubbornness, I was suddenly caught up in it. “I just finally realized that.”
“….”
“Everyone has a good that they pursue. “I guess I was only forcing my own line, forgetting that it’s not wrong just because that line is different from mine.”
“…the room manager.”
“If what I thought was wrong turned out to be right in the end, I would have had to admit that I was wrong… Yes, Master. I couldn’t admit it. That’s why I shouted that something that wasn’t wrong was wrong. “The more I did this, the more the delusion within me grew.”
Hyeonjong’s body trembled. What the court is saying now is in line with the Tao of Hwasan.
The court chuckled.
“So I put it down. “Isn’t it just empty?”
“That’s right, boss. That’s right.”
Hyeonjong nodded as if he sympathized.
“If you do that, today….”
“I came to apologize and have another suggestion to make.”
“Did you say it was a suggestion?”
“Yes, that is a suggestion.”
The court said with a smile.
“After putting everything aside, I realized. “What am I doing now and why is everyone going down the wrong path because of my stubbornness?”
Hyeonjong paused for a moment and asked.
“Do you mean to say that we are all going down the wrong path?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“How…?”
“…Amitabha Buddha.”
The court closed its eyes and made a soft sigh before slowly opening them. And then he faced Hyeonjong with unwavering eyes. The seriousness contained in it made Hyeonjong’s back tense.
“I think the leader knows better what the situation is in the midfield right now.”
The court continued after confirming that Hyeonjong nodded.
“Gangnam is being plagued by evil enemies from Sapa, and they will try to cross the Yangtze River and invade Gangbuk at any time. And after a hundred years, the demonic cult has disappeared again. “I don’t think it’s excessive at all to say that everything is as good as a hundred pounds.”
“Umm, yes.”
“But… what about us who have to protect the midfield in that situation? “Aren’t we just antagonizing each other?”
The moment the corners of Cheongmyeong’s eyes became sharp again, the court spoke slightly self-mockingly.
“Of course, I also know that most of it was caused by none other than me. That’s why I wanted to come here and apologize. I’m sorry again. I am sorely lacking in Hinayana….”
“Oh, no, Bangjang. How can you say that it’s the manager’s fault? “It’s probably my fault too.”
The court smiled.
“When the Lord says that, Binseung becomes even more embarrassed. Since I have been living in a well until now, I thought that the world would go as it should. “If I had known that wasn’t the case, I should have reflected and accepted it, but I couldn’t let go of my crushing pride, so I looked at the world in a distorted way.”
“Director…”
Hyeonjong looked at the court with shaking eyes.
If the head of Shaolin puts himself down like this and speaks, shouldn’t we at least believe the sincerity in his words? Even Jong Li, who was sitting next to the court, couldn’t hide his surprise, as if he didn’t know the court would say something like this.
“Then what you mean by that proposal is….”
“What should we do when the Sa Sect prospers and the Demonic Cult flourishes? It was so obvious what had to be done. “We just went a long way because we couldn’t acknowledge each other.”
“….”
“So, I would like to make a suggestion to the Lord. “It’s probably not too late, so why not try to reconcile now before something irreparable happens?”
Hyeonjong nodded without hesitation.
In fact, this was something that King Hyeonjong did not wish for. He just couldn’t trust the court and the old file room. If they wanted to put down themselves and be together, what reason would there be for him to refuse?
“If the head of the house says so, then of course the relationship…”
“No, Lord.”
“yes?”
But the court firmly shook its head.
“That is not enough. Do you know why I could not acknowledge the volcano and rejected it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Because it wasn’t mine.”
Hwasan disciples frowned for a moment at the potentially misunderstanding. However, the court cleared up their misunderstanding with the following words.
“To be precise, it was because we were not within the same fence. I was disgusted and angry when I found out that the place I thought was like that wasn’t like that. Yes, this is all because I am not good enough. But… Master. The world is not a place where only the wealthy live. “Some people might fall short like me.”
“…I guess so.”
“To such people, the harmony between the nine factions, the five generations, and the Cheon Woo-maeng will feel like nothing more than formality. “For now, we’re just pretending to be good friends, but eventually we’ll split up again.”
Everyone who was listening to those words nodded. It will be difficult for them to escape that perception right now.
“Then what do you mean?”
“You have to throw it away. You have to let go of what you have. And first, we have to tear down the fence. “There is only one way to do that.”
The court smiled. As if out of the blue, he spewed out words that were embarrassing and perhaps unexpected.
“Disband the Cheonwoo Alliance and return to its original position. Shaolin formally requests Hwasan’s return to Gufileilbang.”
The sound of empty air coming out of the mouths of the astonished people instantly covered the room.
