Episode 1520 This isn’t my fault, is it? (5)
While the disciples of Hwasan were perplexed as they looked at the face of Pungyeongsingae, whose tendons were writhing due to clenched teeth, someone burst out laughing.
“Well, it’s obvious.”
“….”
“There is no need to be so public. It’s natural, it’s natural! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Pungyeongsingae was completely entranced.
Hwasan’s disciples applauded in their hearts.
‘Our Cheongmyeong is doing well!’
‘Sometimes it’s helpful for people to be oblivious.’
‘Is it true that you don’t notice? ‘That bastard is a very perceptive ghost, so aren’t you intentionally feeding him that?’
‘What do you think?’
Pungyeongsingae, whose expression had changed dozens of times in a short period of time, managed to calm down and let out a sigh that made the earth disappear.
“…Thank you anyway.”
It will be complex and subtle.
It is true that the volcano saved him, and it is also true that it cut out the rotten parts of the opening.
But what can I say….
If a person is brought to a doctor’s office with injured fingers and toes, and the doctor cuts off each limb and says, ‘It’s all healed now, you’re fine,’ wouldn’t it be difficult to say something nice?
No, it would be nice if only the arms and legs were cut off. In fact, half of my wealth was gone… The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached.
“So what are you going to do now?”
“First of all… we need to start by repairing the collapsed headquarters. And…”
Pungyeongsingae caressed my chin.
“I plan to step down from my position as soon as the elders’ fate is sorted out.”
“What if it’s your future?”
“I plan to keep my word that I will not hold the elders accountable, but I cannot just leave it like this. “This incident made me realize that the power given to them was too great.”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Fungyeongsingae with strange eyes. As if that was the real intention. Faced with eyes that seemed to reveal everything, Pungyeongsingae continued speaking as if there was nothing he could do.
“If they remain in the same position they are now, it will hinder the new ark from carrying out its purpose. “People don’t change that easily, so I’ll have to embrace the people I messed up and step away.”
“New wine in a new wine bottle?”
“That’s right.”
Cheongmyeong shook his head. Then he paused for a moment.
“Then the next ark is….”
“It is exactly what you think.”
The gaze of the volcano disciples all turned to the side. There, standing awkwardly like a sack of barley, was Hong Dae-gwang.
“why? what?”
A variety of emotions flashed across the faces of the volcano disciples.
“No, that’s right. Actually… there is no alternative….”
“Even if someone else is building the ark after all that mess, it still feels strange.”
“yes. That is certainly true, but….”
Only one question appears on the faces of the Hwasan disciples as they look at each other.
‘Will it be okay?’
I guess I’m anxious. That guy is the ark of openness.
“Have you decided?”
“Yes, sword cooperative.”
“…really?”
“….”
“Really? really? Without a single regret? Are there any measures? “What are you thinking…”
“Hey man! “Are you doing this to me?”
“No, I know you! “You can’t be a great person to command someone!”
“You said you would make me an ark!”
“No, the situation is urgent, I can’t say anything!”
“What man? And then you are a Taoist!”
Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes.
“What kind of porridge is this?… No, it’s not like making porridge and giving it to beggars. “It looks like trying to save the opening will ruin it even more!”
“How much I helped you!”
“Is that helping? that is?”
Pungyeongsingae laughed while watching the two people arguing and spoke in a calm voice.
“I decided that ability was not important.”
“Hmm?”
“If there is something lacking, others can help. For this purpose, there is something called a position. “What’s important is not whether you are talented, but whether you are walking the right path.”
The two eyes of Feng Ying Xingai were resolute, as if he had already made up his mind.
“And this is not just my intention. There was a strong recommendation from Ilhoshingae. Then, the opposition of the elders can be suppressed to some extent.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Hong Dae-gwang with wide eyes. Then he sighed deeply.
“Don’t sigh in people’s faces!”
“You’re a beggar, you’re not a human…”
“You bastard…”
Hong Dae-gwang, who was furious, snorted.
“The most absurd thing right now is me! “I thought I would be called to the headquarters and nag as much as I could, but war would suddenly break out, and as if that wasn’t enough, it turned into an ark overnight!”
“So you don’t like it?”
“It’s good!”
“….”
“Oh no. “I just made a mistake with my words.”
Not only Hwasan’s disciples, but even Pungyeongsingae looked at Hong Dae-gwang with soulless eyes.
“…inventory.”
“Think about it again.”
“I don’t think this is it.”
A look of conflict flashed across Pungyeongsingae’s face for a moment, but he quickly shook his head again.
“There is no stock.”
“no way.”
“It’s hot.”
“Let’s open up our hands. “It’s over here.”
Pungyeongsingae laughed bitterly as he watched the reactions of Hwasan disciples.
“There’s nothing to worry too much about. “I plan to call Zhao Gai and put him in the position of guardian.”
“ah!”
“What if it’s Grandpa Jaogae…”
“Then it’ll be a little better.”
When the word Jaogae came out, everyone nodded. No one cared about Hong Dae-gwang, who was hurt in this process.
“But Sasuk. “What is the difference between a guardian and an elder?”
“The distribution should be considered the same. Depending on the sect, only the name is used differently, but if we have to talk about the difference… Usually, an elder is an honorary position. However, protecting the law is a position with real authority. “You can look at it that way.”
“What do you mean?”
“Protecting the law is the position of protecting the clan, so it can be seen as being more focused on force.”
“…understand.”
I didn’t understand.
Baekcheon decided that he had to catch that guy Jo Geol later and explain it to him again. Pungyeongsingae opened his mouth again.
“And today, I see that Chumyeongae also seems to be suitable for the position of guardian, so I guess I should ask him to help me too.”
“Ah, that ugly beggar, grandfather?”
“Hey you bastard! “You can’t tell people you’re ugly!”
“No, he’s ugly so his nickname is Chumyeongae! “If you’re going to criticize people like that, you should curse those open-minded beggars who give people such nicknames!”
“…uh?”
After listening to it, I saw that too….
“Keuhum!”
Pungyeongsingae cleared his throat and slowly looked away. Baekcheon, who saw that, was filled with complaints.
‘It’s not a bad result from our perspective.’
Regardless of ability, there is no one who does not know Hong Dae-kwang’s passion and consultation. Moreover, no matter what anyone says, Hongdaegwang is the most friendly to volcanoes in the open area.
There is no way such a person becoming an ark of openness would be harmful to the volcano.
Moreover, while resolving this matter, didn’t you confirm that there are forces in Jongnam and Shaolin that are friendly to Hwasan?
This may be an achievement beyond replacing the Ark of Openness.
‘Especially Shaolin…’
At that time, Cheongmyeong opened his mouth.
“When do you plan to delegate?”
“First of all, we have to organize the headquarters first.”
“Then you will leave as soon as you finish cleaning up?”
“Shouldn’t we do that?”
Pungyeongsingae looked quite relieved. I was finally able to let go of the heavy burden that had always been weighing on my shoulders.
“I realized it thanks to the Geoscientific Association. The future of openness should be left to those who will live in that future. Of course, it’s not trustworthy, but…”
Pungyeongsingae glanced at Hong Dae-gwang and shook his head.
“That too would be the greed of someone whose time has come to step down.”
“….”
“I can pay for the sin I committed in opening up even if it is not the ark. “Now, I plan to atone for the rest of my life not as an ark of openness, but as an ordinary beggar belonging to openness.”
Pungyeongsingae’s gaze turned towards the ceiling of the pavilion.
What he is looking at is not just the ceiling, but a person lying on it.
“I’m sure Master wants that too.”
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
“The people who really need to atone are left alone.”
“Cheongmyeong!”
“Watch your mouth! Man, watch your mouth!”
To others, it may have been extremely rude, but Pungyeongsingae just grinned. Because the person in front of me now is the only person in this world who can scold his teacher.
And I know that those harsh words were uttered out of regret.
Cheongmyeong’s gaze turned to Hong Dae-gwang.
“Anyway, now I have to talk to this guy, right?”
“….”
“Ark of Openness….”
Cheongmyeong’s face slowly distorted. This was started in an attempt to return the opening to normal, but the result was…
“Keu. Anyway, a spare ark.”
“Hahaha! Speak up, Hwasan Sword Association!”
Hong Dae-kwang was proud and raised his chin. At that moment, Cheongmyeong hit the chin without realizing it.
“Kyaul!”
“Hey Cheongmyeong!”
“It’s an ark! ark!”
“Not yet! “Not yet!”
“But what if I beat you up like this?”
“You’re acting like I want to beat you up!”
“No, that’s true…!”
Even Baekcheon of the world could not bear to refute Cheongmyeong’s words.
However, the person who was actually hit jumped upright, slurping as if it wasn’t even painful.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
“yes?”
“If you think about it, it’s like the volcano made me an ark, but it’s just a chin strap! Hahaha!”
“Cheongmyeong! “Be patient!”
“Why are you so angry?”
“Honestly, I’m angry about the death penalty.”
“…Actually, me too.”
Hong Dae-gwang is a person who makes you realize why the saying ‘scratches people’ exists. Cheongmyeong asked, making a groaning sound.
“Okay, so what do you plan to do now?”
“what?”
“I mean open! Open! You become the ark! “How are we going to open up now?”
Hong Dae-gwang said, massaging his red, swollen chin.
“What should I do? “It’s obvious.”
“huh?”
“Hwasan Sword Association. “As you know, I’m not very smart.”
“Oh, I have no clue.”
“I have no ability.”
“You don’t even have an ugly face.”
“…Do it in moderation, you bastards.”
Hong Dae-gwang gritted his teeth. Then he sighed deeply. His face became quite serious.
“Nevertheless, I think the reason I was able to come this far is because I have an eye for people.”
“Hmm?”
“What I am particularly good at is finding people who can show me the way.”
Hong Dae-kwang got his posture right. Instead of the grumpy look he had until now, he had a stern and determined expression.
“Hwasan Sword Association. No, Cheongmyeong, the commander of Cheonwoomaeng.”
“hmm?”
“As soon as I get to the Ark, I will request to join the Cheonwoo Alliance of Openness. “Please do not reject the wishes of this room.”
Cheongmyeong’s face also became serious as he faced Hong Dae-gwang’s face, which was full of seriousness and agreement. Hong Dae-gwang continued.
“I will do my best to help Chun Yu-maeng. “To confront the crisis that has swept across the world!”
“hmm.”
Cheongmyeong slowly put both hands together and hugged them politely.
“If the Lord says so, we, Cheon Woo-maeng, will also welcome the opening with all our hearts.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes shined as he spoke with force once again.
“And we will all do our best to make sure that what the Ark wishes for Cheonwoomaeng is achieved.”
“I just believe.”
The two held hands.
When they first met in Luoyang, neither of them had any reputation or title.
Those two people are now holding hands here, representing one sect and one alliance.
The two people exchanged glances and slowly withdrew their hands.
It was the moment when Pungyeongsingae, who was looking at the scene with a somewhat moved face, was about to open his mouth.
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong’s face was strangely distorted.
“But uh…”
“Huh?”
“…I don’t know if this is a good thing to do.”
“….”
Hwasan’s disciples fully sympathized with Cheongmyeong’s words, which seemed to have picked up their inner thoughts and brought them out on their behalf. Of course, in their hearts.
