Episode 751 Disciple is fine! (1)
“Ugh…”
The celadon boats gathered at Baekmaegwan looked at each other with wide eyes.
“…I can’t eat.”
“My indigestion is so severe.”
“I’ve been having nightmares for three days now and can’t sleep well…”
They looked at each other and sighed in unison.
“Why on earth… why are you doing that?”
“Isn’t that crazy too?”
“You’re crazy. You’ve always been crazy.”
“But…”
No, the problem is not because you are crazy, but because you are not crazy. I’m not crazy, so I really feel like a crazy person.
“So that crazy guy… or rather, that normal person, what is he doing now?”
“We are sweeping and cleaning Okcheonwon.”
“Okcheon won?”
“yes. So… the foundation of all sects is Josajeon, so the sect that does not properly take care of Josajeon is a sect that does not properly respect its ancestors, and he said he will clean it up once again….” Yang Ho’s face was saddened
. It was wrapped like it was being torn apart.
“Why are you saying the right thing? Why!”
After suffering for a moment, his shoulders slumped again. Testimonies poured in again from the side.
“I’m getting goosebumps to death. I watched from the side while I was cleaning, and I was wondering what to do on my own…”
“Jangmun Sa-hyung? ” Are you talking about Baekcheon Sasuk? No, the title Jangmun-in is used by priests in the same division as Jangmun-in. “If it weren’t for elders, there would be no need to use that title, right?”
“How should I know what’s inside? “He seemed very out of his mind.”
“I’m going to turn away. Really….”
I got goosebumps all over my body as I imagined Cheongmyeong frantically sweeping and wiping Josajeon and muttering incomprehensible words.
At that time, Kwak Hoe glanced at his surroundings and cautiously opened his mouth.
“But the executioners and priests.”
“huh?”
“If you think about it calmly, it’s not that bad. “It’s strange to look at and hard to accept, but if you think about it, hasn’t Cheongmyeong become a good person?”
“…that’s the problem.”
“no. “The problem is correct…”
Kwak Hoi says firmly.
“Wouldn’t it be a good thing if we just adapt? Do you like the kind Cheongmyeong guy? Or do you like that crazy Cheongmyeong guy?”
“Are you saying that, man?”
Yang Ho suddenly shouted and said as if there was no need to think.
“It’s better to be crazy!”
“yes?”
Kwak Hoi flinched at the unexpected reaction and asked back. However, the others also shook their heads in unison as if they agreed with Yang Ho’s words.
“If it’s Cheongmyeong, it’s better to be crazy.”
“At least I’m used to it.”
“that’s right.”
Kwak Hoi’s pupil caused an earthquake.
No, that….
It seems true when you listen to it, but… Uh….
“If everyone leaves and keeps looking at me like that, I’m going to explode and die right now.”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
“O Primordial Heavenly Venerable. “Why are you subjecting us to this ordeal?”
The celadon boats sighed with despair on their faces.
“…Still, you’ll say something like that, right?”
“Do you know how many days it’s been already? “When it comes to acting, you can’t do that much.”
“Then you’re saying it’s still like that?”
“No way…”
Everyone shuddered and looked at one place at the same time. It was in the direction of Okcheonwon, where Cheongmyeong swept and cleaned.
Popping.
Pop, pop, pop!
Radiance was emanating from the Jade Emperor statue on one side of Okcheonwon. It was polished so smoothly that it looked like it had been made a while ago and was neatly oiled.
Pop, pop, pop!
Cheongmyeong wiped the Sangjesang’s face with a clean cotton cloth.
“Um, this place is a little….”
Square.
I gently applied pressure to the slightly protruding part of the table and trimmed it neatly, and the proportions were adjusted. Cheongmyeong muttered with a bright smile.
“done.”
It is clean. clean.
His face was full of pride. He looked around Okcheonwon with a new look on his face.
Okcheonwon. This place, usually called Josajeon, was a place to honor the souls of ancestors by enshrining the memorial tablets of Hwasan’s greatest writers.
“It’s changed a lot here too.”
When he first entered the volcano, there was almost nothing left in Okcheonwon. Hadn’t not all the expensive ritual vessels and antique Taoist items, as well as the treasures collected by Hwasan, been sold off, leaving only the memorial tablets lying around?
However, as the volcano gathered wealth and Hyeonyeong reorganized the interior of the volcano, Okcheonwon also regained its former appearance to some extent.
“Well, it still takes a while because there are no white plum blossoms, but…”
I have not yet found the Amhyang white plum blossom, which was the second god of volcanoes along with Jashingeom. Even after searching through the Galaxy Top and Open World, it appears that it has been buried in a warehouse of a wealthy family with a collection wall, or has been resold cheaply by someone who does not understand its value.
Still, it is definitely a shame that we were not able to retrieve an item that was said to be somewhat of a novelty. But it’s not really important. What is more important than the new object is the volcano itself.
Cheongmyeong began to clean the memorial tablets of the patriarchs one by one with a clean surface.
“The descendants of Jangmunsa-type volcanoes have grown considerably. Looking at it makes me feel proud. I think it’s time for everyone to become self-reliant. The death penalty and what I was hoping for….”
– Fuck that bullshit! You bastard! Why are you doing this!
“Why are you yelling? “I need to learn more now.”
– Huh….
Cheongmyeong began to clean the memorial tablets one by one with careful hands. After a while, I could see with my own eyes that Okcheonwon had become incomparably cleaner than when I first cleaned it.
“Hmm, good.”
I nodded with satisfaction and neatly folded the cheesecloth.
“Long sentence of death.”
Then, suddenly, he looked at the memorial tablet and muttered.
“When I thought about it, everything Jang Moon-in said was correct. Cheongjin did that. I am a person who cannot leave anything behind on a volcano. “It meant that I didn’t understand ordinary students, but on the other hand, it also meant that my students couldn’t grow any bigger in my arms.”
As long as Cheongmyeong is present, Hwasan will not suffer from the bullying of other sects. Just like volcanoes did in the past.
But what happens after the clearing disappears?
In the end, the remaining disciples must lead the volcano. If Cheongmyeong continues as he is now, the remaining disciples of Hwasan will have no choice but to suffer in Cheongmyeong’s absence.
That is not what Cheongmyeong wants.
Haven’t we already experienced the tragic collapse of a volcano after he disappeared? What Cheongmyeong wants is not a volcano that is strong for him to be with, but a volcano that is strong even without him.
“The kids may have a hard time right now, but they will be able to do well on their own in the end. I may be a little hurt and have a hard time… but only then will I know my preciousness… no, no. And that’s how you grow.”
– I think your true feelings came out.
“Hey. What else are you thinking about doing? “It was a mistake.”
Cheongmyeong waved his hand.
And with an unusually serious expression, he looked out at the volcano outside Okcheonwon.
“At some point, I thought I would have to take a little step back. It was just a little faster than I thought. This must be correct. “Hyeonjong Jang Mun-in said that and Baekcheon Sa-suk also said that.”
Of course, this does not mean that Cheongmyeong really retreats into an old man in the back room. Meanwhile, even considering his abilities, Cheongmyeong had been excessively involved in all matters of Hwasan. Recently, it has gotten to the point where I have to sacrifice a certain amount of personal training time.
Now everything is just gradually falling into place. In the end, like the volcanoes of the past, we must complete a system in which the volcanoes receive strength only from the presence of Cheongmyeong, even if Cheongmyeong does not come to the forefront one by one.
“I need to trust my students more. “That’s the role of an adult.”
Cheongmyeong’s expression became a little more relaxed.
It feels a little disappointing to see your child, who used to toddle, jump up and away from your arms, but this is a natural change and is a natural process.
“So what do we do next?”
Cheongmyeong left Okcheonwon carrying a basket filled with cotton cloth.
And then we decided that our next destination would be around Jang Mun-in’s residence and set off. No, I tried to move it.
“Long sentence!”
“Eh?”
A person came rushing towards me at a tremendous speed, accompanied by a loud voice.
“huh? Lord Ghost Moon?”
Cheongmyeong, who confirmed that it was Dounchan, tilted his head. Is that guy still in harmony? Why aren’t you coming back?
“Jang Moon-in! “Do you have a long essay?”
At that loud shout, the long door to the living room burst open. Hyeonjong ran out to greet him with a surprised look on his face.
“Lord Moon. “What’s going on?”
“I found a bar!”
“yes?”
Dounchan shouted with a pale face.
“My student! “I found a disciple who had gone missing while on a journey.”
Hyeonjong’s eyes widened.
“Are you alive?”
“yes! Fortunately, his life appears to have been saved. The child somehow sent a letter…”
“Yes.”
“The numbers are right. It is said that he was attacked and fell into the Yangtze River, but survived with his life.”
Before we knew it, everyone’s faces, including the elders who had gathered, hardened.
“Hmm. That’s bad news. But isn’t that already expected?”
“What’s important is what comes next.”
“yes?”
Dounchan took a moment to catch his breath and swallowed dry saliva.
“It is said that the enemy who attacked him kidnapped everyone on the ship to prevent this news from reaching Hwasan’s ears.”
“…kidnap? “Did you just say kidnapping?”
“yes. A long writer! “There is no doubt about it.”
“…What is this…!”
Hyeonjong’s face turned cold.
“What on earth are you planning to do by kidnapping innocent civilians?”
“I heard that the enemy kidnaps civilians and sells them as slaves to foreign countries…”
“Are there such crazy people?”
Cursing words burst out from the mouth of Hyeonjong, who rarely said harsh words.
Committing evil deeds against the same powerful person and messing with the common people were two completely different problems.
And….
‘If a rumor spreads that all of this happened because of the volcano, how would the people of the world view the volcano?’
Of course, volcanoes are not guilty. Because starting a business is not a sin.
However, the public sentiment in the world has a mysterious side and does not necessarily follow common sense. If word gets around that the civilians have suffered great damage due to Hwasan’s projects, Hwasan’s name may fall to the ground.
“Jang Moon-in. “Shouldn’t we act quickly?”
Hyeonyoung spoke in an uncharacteristically serious voice. There was no way he didn’t know the seriousness of this situation.
“Hmm. “We need to rescue them as quickly as possible.”
Hyeonjong nodded resolutely.
“If we miss the timing and the civilians are sold into slavery, the way to rescue them will be very difficult…”
However, no matter how quickly more disciples are dispatched, it takes time to arrive.
‘Even if I send a letter to Baekcheon… it will be difficult to deal with Suchae alone…’
After all, there is nothing they can do…
After much thought, Hyeonjong made up his mind and opened his eyes and shouted.
“Cheongmyeong!”
“yes?”
Hyeonjong quietly looked at Cheongmyeong, who suddenly approached and answered.
okay.
This side is better. Rather than seeing things like that….
“I think you should go to the Yangtze River first. I will send other disciples through Ungeom-i, so go first and stop Su-chae from selling the civilians into slavery.”
Even though it would be impossible to destroy Suchae, it would be possible with Cheongmyeong’s ability.
Then, the main force of the volcano will arrive in the meantime, and then you can sweep away the water. It was a time when Hyeonjong was praising himself that this was a fairly perfect calculation.
“Yangjiang?”
“Yes!”
“Me?”
“Yes, you…”
Wait.
Did that guy say, “Me now?”
Hyeonjong, who was mulling over words that never seemed to come out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth, looked away with a blank face.
And at that moment, Hyeonjong saw.
Cheongmyeong’s face, which had always had a gentle and calm expression for the past few days, was filled with all the grumpiness in the world. Even, the sight of his head being tilted to the side.
“Why me?”
“….”
Ah…
I think this is a mess…
