Episode 1231 I heard that’s true? (1)
At that moment, it felt like a piece of flesh was falling out of my heart.
Even though I had a good idea, my heart sank the moment I saw the crushed plum blossom pattern with my own eyes.
This is ridiculous.
The value of the lives of those who died here cannot be different. Whether they fought under the name of a volcano or another name, all those who died deserve equal respect.
So there was no particular reason to regard the name ‘Hwasan’ as a reference to the fact that the Plum Blossom Sword was buried here.
Still, the reason I can’t take my eyes off that plum blossom pattern is because I’m just an ordinary person who hasn’t become aloof from Cheongmyeong yet.
Qingming raised his head without saying a word.
His companions were staring at him with expressions that were difficult to describe. Cheongmyeong spoke briefly.
“Bury it.”
“⋯⋯Cheongmyeong.”
“Tsk. Even though I don’t have time.”
In the end, Yunjong let out a long sigh. Then they began to gather exposed weapons and human bones into the center of the pit. It looked like they were trying to build a burial mound.
Cheongmyeong did not stop this as well. Then, the people who were watching came forward one by one and began to help Yoonjong without saying a word.
Even Lim So-byeong, who had no idea how to stand alone, sneakily approached Yoonjong and patted the small pile of dirt.
Cheongmyeong watched the scene and then looked away. The sharp peak of Hundred Thousand Mountains was visible.
‘execution.’
Not only Hwasan’s disciples but also Cheongmun are buried here. Cheongmyeong even clearly remembers where they ended up in mourning.
For others, it may have happened a hundred years ago, but for Cheongmyeong, it happened only a few years ago. If you put your mind to it, it might be possible to climb that mountain and retrieve Cheongmun’s remains. If only I could spare time for just one day.
But…
Cheongmyeong slowly shook his head as if trying to stop him.
‘It’s meaningless.’
A dead person is just a dead person. It is only the living who take comfort in the dead.
And if he knows Cheongmun, there is no way he would be happy to receive comfort in that way. Rather, he was someone who would scold him for wasting time on useless things and failing to save lives that could have been saved.
Cheongmyeong absentmindedly pictured the scene and laughed.
There is no one here to mistreat him like in the past. Cheongjin, who used to nag him so hard, Cheongmun, who looked straight at him and wanted him to go down the right path, and Tangbo, who always whined in an unsuitable way, no longer exist.
Nevertheless… Nevertheless, the memories they left behind and the meaning they left behind tightened Cheongmyeong’s entire body stronger than the shackles.
‘It’s really harsh.’
Cheongmyeong sighed softly and caught a glimpse of the people building the burial mound. There is a lot of sincerity in the hands that make the burial mound.
“It’s a luxurious tomb…”
Jangmundaeri of Hwasan, Sogaju of Namgung, and Sogaju of Dangga, Bukhaebinggung palace lord, King Nokrim…
There are no people who are not great. “Isn’t it a sad thing that people like that are making burial mounds with their own hands
?” ‘Know that it’s an honor, you damn bastards. My body should be lying around somewhere out there, too.’
While Cheongmyeong was losing his appetite, Yunjong covered the empty space above the burial mound with grass for the last time and stood up. Closing his eyes and putting his hands together, the sound of reciting the Buddhist scriptures flowed out of his mouth. The Buddhist sutras that the Buddhist scriptures were recited by Hyeyeon and the religiously resonating scriptures
. It spread softly across this quiet mountain.
Until the end of the short tour, Cheongmyeong was just endlessly gazing at the high peak hidden by clouds in the distance.

“⋯⋯ I see it.”
“Really⋯⋯.”
“Finally⋯⋯ .”
All of Cheon Woo-maeng’s party, who were in a habitual situation, let out an exclamation with expressions of emotion on their faces. The sight before their eyes was wide and blue.
“It’s the sea!”
“Aaaah! We have arrived!”
“There really is such a thing as an ocean!”
Everyone said one thing at a time in excitement.
“It’s wider than the Yangtze River.”
“It’s not that big, right? I really can’t see the end?”
“Tsk, tsk. The sea is like that.”
“Huh? Have you ever seen the sea before?”
“No. Is this your first time?”
The emotions of those who felt the sea breeze were indescribable.
“How many days did it take?”
“It took about seven days.”
“We arrived earlier than expected.”
“That’s right.”
Finally, to Haenam . Now that they had reached the destination sea, there was only one thought that came to everyone’s mind:
“I should have just taken a detour…”
“I mean…”
“…I’m going to enjoy some kind of wealth and fame.”
Everyone sighed in unison with gloomy faces . I took a break.
If you’re wondering if passing through Gangnam was a bad choice, it was definitely not when you look at the results.
In any case, we arrived at the coast in just seven days and nights without much sacrifice, so it’s not a bad thing, but a wonderful achievement.
But that’s from an outside perspective . It’s just that. Those who have actually gone through that path cannot evaluate it with peace of mind.
“…I’m still amazed at how I didn’t die of a heart attack on Mount Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
“Were you very scared of the death penalty?”
“Honestly, about halfway through. I barely held back the urge to cry as Cheongmyeong told me to go back.”
“Actually, I begged a little.”
“… What did you say?”
“Do you want to fall into my hands or into the hands of the demonic cult? “Then
it’s better to fall into the hands of the demonic cult.”
Because those bastards will be a little less cruel.
“…You had a hard time.”
Baekcheon, who had been listening to the conversation between Yoonjong and Jogeol, quietly comforted them by comforting their shoulders. And I thought,
‘I thought my heart was really shaking and falling.’
During the entire trip, Hundred Thousand Mountains Mountain was quiet. In the end, there may not have been a safer route. The
problem is that the party here now knew the fear of the Demonic Cult better than anyone else.
“Now that I think about it, are you suddenly angry? ”
Yoon Jong kicked Jo Geol with all his might.
“Ack! Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
“If you hadn’t brought up that name, I would have come here comfortably!” ”
…What should I do when I’m thinking about it?”
All the problems started right from that shabby Jodong club. While crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains Mountain. Jo Geol-gi suddenly started saying, ‘But those are the remnants of the Demonic Cult I saw back then. That bastard who is a thousand years old or something. What if that bastard is here?
‘ There was no way for the words that had been stuck in the world to disappear.
From then on, in their minds, Hundred Thousand Mountains changed from an ‘empty mountain that was the former stronghold of the Demon Cult’ to ‘a dangerous Demon Cave where the Demon Cult who entered the central plains and the Heavenly Killers may be hiding.’ Thanks to that
. My nerves were on edge, and by the time I got out of Hundred Thousand Mountains like a person being chased, I was so exhausted that I was almost speechless. If it had ended
here, Yunjong wouldn’t have been so angry. The bigger problem was that after that, they passed. The area that had to be done was Guangdong, the headquarters of the Maninbang.
Of course, now that the main force of the Maninbang is concentrated on the Yangtze River, it is practically empty land, but isn’t Guangdong still Guangdong? “…I
arrived alive and well.”
” Which bastard asked to go through Gangnam?”
“Sapa bastard!”
“⋯⋯Thank you for letting me know. Lord Soga Nangung.”
A sigh escaped everyone’s mouths at the same time. There was a mixture of lament and relief.
“Anyway…”
Baekcheon opened his mouth as if to organize
things. “While passing through Guangdong, I was on the verge of death five or six times. It seems like it happened, but isn’t everything good as long as the results are good?”
“Is everything really okay as long as the results are good? We need to fundamentally rethink it.”
“Isn’t the result better than George?”
“No, that’s true…”
Baekcheon shook his head.
“Cheon’s luck followed. Of course, it would be absolutely impossible for even the Sapae-ryeon to control all the roads where people can travel in this vast land of Gangnam… Still, I thought we would encounter the enemy at least once in Guangdong.” “I guess
so. The God of Heaven and Earth helped…”
“Heheuuuum!”
“He helped…”
“Keueuuuuuuuuu!”
Yunjong and Baekcheon Namgung Dowi cast a confused look at the person who kept clearing his throat. He was half-tired from fatigue. Lim So-byeong was raising his head with the most triumphant expression in the world.
In the end, Yunjong said in a sighing voice,
“It… rather than the gods of heaven and earth helping, it was the King of Green Forest who chose the path well.” ”
Hahahaha! There’s no need for you to know! Well, I just always do my best for you guys. Hahahaha!”
Everyone shook their heads while looking at Lim So-byeong happily flapping his fan.
“⋯⋯Jong Yoon. Every once in a while, I realize that you really are a Taoist.”
“Yes?”
“I can tell you that by looking at that expression. Even if I die, I don’t want to say it out loud.”
“I agree, Assistant Manager Jang Moon.”
“Queu.”
To be honest, there was no way not to acknowledge Lim So-byeong’s ability.
It was the same on the mountain road leading to Hundred Thousand Mountains, but even in Guangdong, if it weren’t for Lim So-byeong’s improvisation, we would have been in trouble several times. ” I wonder
if it’s unfortunate or fortunate that I was born as a Sapa.”
“Yes? Isn’t it of course unfortunate?”
When Nangung Do-wi asked as if he was talking nonsense, Baek-cheon’s face slightly distorted. ”
Imagine that nobleman was born into a family of demonic cults or bureaucrats.” ”
… It’s really fortunate that he was born as a bandit. ”
“Is that so?”
It was a very fortunate thing for the world.
Baekcheon raised his head and looked at the vast sea.
‘Anyway, I arrived here safely.’
From now on, I have to see it as real, but anyway, I felt somewhat relieved that I had arrived here without any trouble. “
By the way, Sasuk.”
“Huh?”
“How do I get across to the island?”
“Of course… ”
“We have to swim!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to one place at the sudden voice. Cheongmyeong, standing cross-legged, asked, ‘Why are you asking such a question again?’ He was looking crookedly in this direction as if asking.
“Is there another way to cross the water?”
“Cheongmyeong. It’s an island. It’s an island.”
“If it’s an island, why? Does the island seem to be floating away? It’s there anyway, so if you keep swimming, you’ll get there someday.”
Namgung Do-wi looked at Lim So-byeong helplessly.
“Try to refute it logically, King Green Forest.”
“⋯⋯ This is difficult for me too. “I have no idea where to start.”
“No, but…”
“I’ll have to fight if I can understand something…”
Looking at Lim So-byeong, who was devastated, Namgung Do-wi sighed repeatedly.
At that time, a helping hand came to them. He came down.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense and arrange a ship.”
“No, what are you going to do…”
“That’s done.”
Baekcheon cut off Cheongmyeong’s words right away.
“Even if something happens and we have to swim from the middle.” Even if you have regrets, it is better to conserve your stamina as much as possible. Since there are few people, there is no need for a large boat, and if it is a small fishing boat, it won’t take long to arrange it, so let’s get a boat first.”
Cheongmyeong stuck out his mouth. However, he did not refute it any further, perhaps because he thought it was Manager Jang Moon’s decision.
“Okay. . Then, let’s split up and look for the ship. Instead, we must hide our identities as much as possible.” ”
Yes!”
They exchanged glances with each other and dispersed on the spot.
Baekcheon, who remained there until the end, looked at a small piece of land that looked like a dot in the distance. Nailed it.
‘Haenam…’
First of all, get there.
