Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 1472

Episode 1472 The things you have done have consequences. (2)

“Baekgeumbo (白劍堡) has expressed his intention to join!”

“A message came from Cheonghae Gate. It is said that he has already set off here with his disciples.”

The Beopgye nods his head loudly. The calls from the sects wanting to join the Old File Room continued today as well.

“This is good news, leader.”

However, despite the words of the legal world, the court was deep in thought instead of responding.

Then, after a while, I glanced at the person who reported it.

“Hye-do (慧度).”

“Yes, leader.”

“How many sects expressed their intention to join today?”

“…Thirty and two.”

Thirty-two.

It can never be said to be small. But this time, instead of being happy, the court frowned.

Beopgye, who sensed something, asked cautiously.

“Whatever the problem is…”

But instead of answering, the court pressed Hye-do.

“Aren’t there some clans that joined without sending Yeon-tong? How many were there?”

“Today… are you talking about all the time?”

“Yes.”

“…… That’s about sixteen…”

“Did you say sixteen?”

“Yes, boss.”

“Are you sure you’re sixteen?”

“……That’s right.”

“Yesterday?”

“Yes?”

“How many sects came yesterday? “ Those who didn’t put in the flue in advance.”

“I’m not sure… but I believe it was around twenty. I’ll check again right now…”

“Twenty?”

But Hyedo couldn’t move. This is because I felt that the face in the courtroom repeating the word twenty was unusual.

“So, are you saying that the sect that joined today is less than fifty?”

Hyedo closed his mouth. He was just a reporter. So he couldn’t give any answer to this question.

“……Dharma world . .”

“Yes, Bangjang.”

“Check the situation again right away. Even if it’s strange, it’s usually not unusual.”

“yes?”

“If it were as we thought, a faction nearly twice as large as this should have been knocking on the door of the old faction by now. But isn’t that number obviously low now? “What kind of four months have I been born with?”

“Bangjang… fifty is not a very small number.”

“Can’t you hear me telling you to check?”

The legal world flinched as the court showed its sharp anger. At that time, Hye-do, who had been keeping an eye on the court, cautiously opened her mouth.

“I… I don’t know if what you saw is what you think…”

The court’s head turned to him.

“What did you see?”

“Well… I feel like Hubei and Hanam are closer. It seemed like the clans of the clan were not joining easily.”

“what?”

The court looked at Hye-do as if it was absurd.

“What do you mean? They are the ones who are most anxious about the current situation. In a situation like this, what on earth are you waiting to worry about?”

“That’s…”

At that time, Beopgye frowned slightly and opened his mouth.

“Perhaps they are still struggling to decide between Tianyu Meng and the Nine Sects…”

“Nonsense!”

However, the court firmly shook its head and denied the claim.

“That can’t happen.”

“But…”

“I’m not saying this to show off my pride. The situation has already gone beyond a simple power struggle. Hasn’t Hubei already become a place we protect and Shaanxi a land they protect?”

“That’s true, sir.”

“But how did they join Shaanxi?”

“…Of course, what the room manager said is correct. But aren’t there some who feel that Shaanxi is a little safer?”

But the court still firmly shook its head.

“That’s also impossible.”

“……”

“There is no way Shaanxi is safer, but would you be able to run away just because it is safe? They are not Shaolin. And I’m not a shaman either. They are not people who can go to Shaanxi just because it is dangerous and come back without any worries.” ”

Hmm.”

“I don’t know if it’s really a situation where they are going to run away. But if not, in the end, they will choose to look at the opinions of those who are familiar with the land they have been living in. “There is no choice. Think about it. If political factions leave the local people in danger and leave, who will welcome them when they return?”

Large sects such as Gufileilbang can source funds through their own businesses. However, small and medium-sized sects ultimately have no choice but to run their sects with the money paid by those who are affiliated with the sect and learn martial arts.

But isn’t it possible for there to be only one sect in one region? Who would want to have enemies in a sect that has withdrawn in a situation like this? There are plenty of other places too.

Therefore, their movement was not as free as expected.

“But isn’t that actually happening, boss?”

“There must be some other reason. We need to figure it out quickly…”

“Um…”

At that time, Hye-do looked at the court and spoke once again. He opened his mouth.

“I have some guesses, but…”

“Guess? What was it?”

“I’m not sure… I think you’ll have to see it for yourself.”

As Hye-do stood up, the court’s gaze followed him.

After a while, the court followed Hye-do and arrived at a large downtown area in Hubei. It was an ordinary village out of the ordinary. The court looked a little dazed and blinked.

“…This?”

I saw a row of carts and people carrying large loads on their backs. Hyedo said carefully,

“They are refugees.”

“refuge?”

Hyedo nodded.

“Yes. This place will soon become a battlefield, so wouldn’t it be natural for some to leave?”

“What did you mean by that? Didn’t we say we would protect you? “I already told you that nowhere in the world is safe!”

“Yes, that’s true, but…”

Hyedo sighed heavily.

“That may be true for warriors, but where will the common people hear that?”

The court’s eyes trembled slightly.

“What the head of the house said is correct. Leaving is difficult and coming back is even more difficult. But… that’s the story of those who have something to protect here. I have nothing to protect except my body. “These people…”

At that moment, a laugh escaped the court’s mouth.

There are two reasons.

One is that he understood Hye-do’s words. And the other is that he was completely unaware of this situation.

The court is not an unmanned place . It’s not that he didn’t pay attention to them.

He also thought it was important to manage the public sentiment in Hubei, and in fact, he often left the palace to observe the people of the world.

‘I thought it was stable enough.’

However, I had never thought of coming to a place like this. So, I learned again. The place where the palace where he lives is located is the area where the richest people in Hubei live. The wealthy people of that area and those who are currently taking refuge. There is no way that they had the same thoughts.

It was clearly a mistake on the part of the court to miss this. But…

“But what does their taking refuge have to do with your guess?”

“…Can’t you see over there?”

Hyedo pointed somewhere. The ones at the end were warriors wearing swords. They were helping those fleeing refuge and loading their luggage onto a cart. “

What are you doing?”

“I’m passing by too. “I only saw this at first glance… Until now, I thought they were just helping those evacuating prepare. But now that I think about it, it looks like they are even escorting those evacuating.”

“escort?”

The court spoke as if it were absurd.

“Escort! Why do people who go from a dangerous place to a safe place need an escort…”

But he couldn’t finish his sentence and closed his mouth.

‘Escort?’

A thought passed through my head. I looked at Hye-do as if asking for consent, and he lowered his head as if embarrassed.

“…Where were you?”

“……”

“Where are they taking refuge now?”

Hyedo couldn’t bear to answer. The court bit its lip and then approached the people carrying their luggage and setting out on the road and asked in a firm voice.

“Let me ask you something about Amitabha Buddha.”

Those who were walking with tired faces bowed in shock when they found the court.

“Oh, monk, what’s going on? We’d like to help, but given the situation, all we have is…”

“That’s not it.”

Even when they see the court, they think of ordinary Buddhists rather than Shaolin. Even the word that Shaolin has come to Hubei can only be heard as a passing sound, and they do not have the capacity to think about it with their heads.

“Where are you going now?”

The person who heard the question smiled in vain and answered,

“Of course, we are going to take refuge. “Don’t they say that Sapa bastards will soon invade here and it will become a battlefield?”

“…If you’re going to evacuate, where are you going?”

“That’s obvious. Of course I’m going to Shaanxi.”

The court’s hand hidden in the sleeve twitched for a moment.

“Why Shaanxi? “I heard that Shaanxi is just as dangerous as a Hinayana.”

“Yes, they say so, but… wouldn’t Shaanxi be better? There’s Cheonwoo Meng there.”

“…Isn’t there a Nine Sect here too?”

“yes?”

However, the person who heard those words looked at the court with an expression of complete incomprehension. The court was taken aback by the look in their eyes as if they didn’t understand the meaning and why the phrase “old file, one room” was used here.

The court tried to speak calmly.

“Didn’t Gu File Bang also say that he would protect this place?”

“Ah…”

The person who let out a small exclamation as if he finally understood nodded his head weakly. But the court saw. The emotions in his eyes clearly change from consideration for the monk to caution.

“That’s right. That’s true, but… we just…”

We have no choice but to know. No matter how subtle it may be, there is no way that the leader of Shaolin would miss the movements of Yang Min, who has not even learned martial arts.

At that time, as Beopgye and Hyedo approached from behind, his body shrank even more.

“We just…we just heard what someone said. Yes… what do idiots like us know?”

“It’s just… they say it’s better to go to Shaanxi… I don’t know anything.”

The court gently closed and opened its eyes. Then, looking at the frightened Yangmin in front of her, she opened her mouth.

“Hye-do.”

“Yes, Bangjang.”

Hye-do, who understood his meaning, took out a small bag of money from inside her bosom and carefully handed it to the court. “ Please

use it as an extra on your way to Amitabha Buddha.”

“Oh no, monk. We have this…..”

“Take it.”

As the court gave him an extremely large amount of money, the man bowed several times and turned away. Even though he had added travel expenses, his fear of the court was clearly visible in his body language. The court, which was staring at the people walking away at a fast pace, let out a laugh

. .

“……Shanxi. “It’s a volcano.”

“……”

“They are heading to the volcano, and many sects are withdrawing from this place in the name of protecting them. Is this what you mean?”

“Bangjang….”

“Why?”

The court muttered in despair.

“It is already well known throughout the world that Cheonwoo-maeng has no power to protect them. The moment Sichuan fell into the hands of the Four Heavenly Forces, all the people in the world would have understood that only we had the power.”

“……”

“But why are you saying that we are still clinging to the Cheonwoomaeng? Why?”

It wasn’t anger or desperation, but it wasn’t disappointment or contempt either. The voice in the courtroom was simply bewilderment.

Something completely unexpected. Something I couldn’t understand even after seeing it.

The people who upset the court’s perfect calculations were people he never thought would change the world.
