Episode 752. Disciple is fine! (2)
“Hey….”
“….”
“Cheongmyeong?”
“….”
“Haha. It feels awkward to see you with your back turned like this. Is not it?”
But there was no answer. Cold sweat broke out on Hyeonjong’s back.
Cheongmyeong, who was sitting in the long room, turned his body halfway and was only looking at the plum blossom scroll hanging on the wall. Hyeonjong internally lamented.
‘Why did you bring that to me?’
If it were just a wall, it would be awkward and boring to look through, but by hanging the hanging scroll there was no use, giving Cheongmyeong a reason to turn his head.
“That… haha. “Isn’t the plum blossom really pretty?”
“Yes, it’s pretty.”
Hyeonjong forced a smile as he saw Cheongmyeong answering without even turning his head.
“Yeah, I see. “Well…”
I opened my mouth and looked around to see that both Hyun-hyeon and Hyeon-young were just sitting there with sullen faces. In any case, it was King Hyeonjong who forbade Cheongmyeong from going, so it seemed like he had to solve the problem himself.
‘Damn things.’
Hyeonjong took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and looked at Cheongmyeong again. It didn’t seem like the bulging appearance of my cheeks would be resolved easily.
“Well… Cheongmyeong.”
“yes?”
You have to turn your head and speak. huh?
“As you know, things in the world don’t always go as expected, but change from time to time… don’t they?”
“That’s right, Jang Mun-in.”
As moderate answers began to come back, Hyeonjong smiled brightly and nodded.
“haha. So what can you do? “I have a problem and I need someone to solve it. Aren’t you the person I trust the most in this volcano?”
“It must be a private residence.”
“…It’s you.”
“Hey, it’s Sasuk.”
This bastard is quick to notice…
Hyeonjong’s eyes trembled.
“That’s right. I also trust Baekcheon. But I can’t leave everything to those kids. “As you know, everyone is still confused.”
“….”
“Don’t you think so too?”
When I turned around to ask for consent, the elders had sullen expressions and showed no response. However, when Hyeonjong opened his eyes, both of them were stricken and blurted out their words.
“Right… that’s right. “It’s too late to just leave it to them…”
“Ah. That’s the right thing to say. How can you trust them! “For things to run properly, Cheongmyeong must step forward!”
I flinch.
At that moment, Hyeonjong looked like a ghost.
Cheongmyeong’s ears were fluttering subtly as he very slightly turned his head back to its original position.
‘Now!’
“I see so too. I made a bold decision for my children’s growth, but the task became too big to leave it to them alone. In times like this, you should step up and give! “You are the greatest sword of the volcano!”
It was visible to the experienced eyes of King Hyeonjong. The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth and cheekbones twitch as if they might protrude at any moment.
‘Almost done.’
“Cheongmyeong. So, won’t you come forward and give it to me?”
Cheongmyeong slowly brought his head back completely. Unlike before, there was a refreshing smile on his face.
‘It’s okay…’
“Jang Moon-in.”
“okay. Yes, Cheongmyeong!”
Cheongmyeong smiled at Hyeonjong, who responded happily.
“My disciple is fine!”
“…huh?”
“Sasuk will take care of it. What’s going on? Jang Moon-in trusted me so much and sent me, so I have to do well.”
With those words, Cheongmyeong slowly lifted his hips.
“Then I have some cleaning left to do at Baekmae Hall, so I’ll stop.”
“Now wait a minute!”
When I thought about it, he stood up as if he was really going to leave. King Hyeonjong was so frightened that he held onto his waist and hung down.
“Why are you doing this, Jang Mun-in?”
“Oh, sit down and watch! First, sit down! huh? Cheongmyeong, let’s sit down and talk!”
“I have nothing more to say! Don’t do this! “My pants are going down.”
“Then shouldn’t you just sit down?”
“Hey!”
In the end, Cheongmyeong pretended not to win and sat back down, and only then did King Hyeonjong wipe the sweat from his forehead and let go of Cheongmyeong’s belt.
“No, I understand why you’re doing this, but… hasn’t the situation changed?”
“No, Jang Mun-in!”
“Yes?”
As Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes, Hyeonjong flinched.
“In the first place! yes? “Jang Mun-in said that his disciples can only grow and become independent if they go through adversity without me!”
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t this the adversity! adversity! “What better situation to develop self-reliance!”
Hyeonjong, who had become mute after eating honey, looked at Cheongmyeong blankly.
“If you’re going to do that, then you shouldn’t have started in the first place! They say that no matter what happens, they should be able to solve it among themselves, and when the situation changes, they rush over and solve it!”
“Right.”
“yes.”
Hyeon-Seon and Hyeon-Young folded their arms and shook their heads. However, he quickly gave up after seeing Hyeonjong’s bloodshot eyes.
Hyeonjong sighed and spoke in a heavier voice.
“Cheongmyeong. If I only think about my children, I don’t do this. As you said, I hope you can overcome that risk and grow further. But aren’t they saying that civilians are being held there? “They must be saved.”
But Cheongmyeong did not go down easily. On the contrary, it twinkled its eyes almost as if it was going to eat it.
“No, including that, it’s adversity, isn’t it? You have to figure that out! Isn’t that how you will develop self-reliance? “Only by solving easy problems can you develop independence.”
Hyeonjong was momentarily speechless.
haha. Today, you only say things that are so damn true.
“Jangmun-in.”
“Yes?”
“I’m not doing this because I don’t want to go. “I deeply sympathized with Jang Moon-in’s great intentions.”
“….”
“I also clearly understood that I had to hold back tears and make this decision for the sake of the volcano. All this is for the volcano.”
“…really?”
“yes! If I had any selfish intentions, I would be struck by lightning…”
Rumbling.
Suddenly, everyone opened their eyes and looked towards the window at the sound of thunder that came from the sky.
“…there are no clouds?”
“What a thunderbolt in the dry sky…”
Cheongmyeongman muttered to himself, his cheeks trembling.
Is it really going to be like this? Long sentence death sentence?
– Please take care of your conscience, you bastard! Conscience!
Cheongmyeong changed his complexion completely and spoke calmly.
“…I am a little selfish. but! “I’m not doing this out of selfish interest.”
“….”
“Anyway, I’m not going, so you can trust Sa-suk and the brothers who went to the Yangtze River and leave it to us.”
“Che Cheongmyeong!”
When Cheongmyeong finally got up and opened the door, Hyeonjong rushed out again.
“no way! Let go! “As a scholar, you must maintain your stamina!”
“Chetong fed me!”
“Hey! Let go! “My pants are stretching!”
“I was wrong, Cheongmyeong! “Isn’t it important to save people?”
As continued shouting came out of Hyeonjong’s residence, Unam, who had been listening quietly outside the door, smiled. Then he spoke to the other disciples standing next to him.
“Guys.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
“Cover your ears.”
“…yes.”
“Tsk.”
The wise man’s boat tightly surrounded the three sides of Cheongmyeong, which was sitting against the wall.
“Sleep, Cheongmyeong. Just calm down first.”
“How could it be like this?”
“Don’t you know that it will take a long time to drag the other disciples from the volcano?”
“That’s right. “It will take a while.”
“You know that only you can go fast alone and take the time until the main force arrives.”
“That’s right. “There is no other choice than Cheongmyeong.”
Hyun-hyeon and Hyeon-yeong, who continued their persuasion that seemed like a threat, glanced at Hyeon-jong, who was standing in the middle.
‘Don’t just keep correcting me, please say something. There was a clear sense of dissatisfaction: ‘This is all because of someone.’
Hyeonjong eventually sighed and spoke in a serious voice.
“Cheongmyeong. “Isn’t it true that people make wrong decisions in life and that they have to correct themselves when they make mistakes?”
“There is someone else who does it! “There is someone else who cleans up!”
“yes. yes.”
Hyeonyoung’s face distorted.
“Why is it like that?”
“Uh…”
Hyeonjong wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly again.
“Anyway, the only person I can trust right now is you. “What can you do when you are the best?”
Cheongmyeong’s cheeks twitched slightly.
Building on that momentum, the elders did their best to applaud.
“That’s right. That’s right! “The only one I can trust is Cheongmyeong!”
“Yes, Cheongmyeong. Jang Moon-in didn’t do that because he had malicious intent, right? “Isn’t the reason you were able to make that decision because you were able to step forward in times of crisis?”
“yes? “What does that mean?”
“When times are dangerous, I believe that you can solve everything, so I can make bold decisions. In other words, all of these decisions were possible because you were so outstanding.”
Once Cheongmyeong’s face appeared to have half melted, the two elders expertly began to dig into the gap.
“Uh huh. What should I do with this? “If Cheongmyeong doesn’t come forward, there will be no one to solve this problem.”
“The volcano will collapse. The volcano will collapse. “If Jang Mun-in makes one wrong decision, the volcano will be destroyed.”
“You lost your gun, tsk tsk tsk.”
King Hyeonjong, who was enthusiastically cheering and even applauding, looked at the priests on his left and right with a slightly strange gaze.
But these guys are willing to listen…?
But the two didn’t care one bit.
“Cheongmyeong. “You must understand with an open mind.”
“yes. “Cheongmyeong has an amazingly big heart!”
Cheongmyeong’s facial features were very frantic. His ears kept turning red, his eyes were wide open trying to stop him from laughing, his nostrils were flaring, and the corners of his mouth that kept rising without notice had to be suppressed. It seemed like he was going through a lot of trouble.
“Hehehe!”
Cheongmyeong cleared his throat loudly and eventually nodded quietly.
“I can’t help it.”
Then he shrugged his shoulders.
“Well… Jang Mun-in tried to do well and ended up like this, so it wouldn’t be the duty of a disciple to question that.”
Then, the sound of what I had done so far rose up in my throat, but thanks to Hyunjong’s deep patience, I was able to avoid the situation of it coming out of my mouth.
“That’s right. After all, our Cheongmyeong is made of pottery.”
“lol. Come to think of it, Jang Mun-in said something like that when I first came to Hwasan.”
“I?”
“yes.”
“I was crazy…”
“Ahahahaha! “Oh my, you must be very tired!”
Hyeon-hyeon and Hyeon-yeong almost simultaneously covered Hyeon-jong’s mouth and pulled him back.
“Eup!”
Hyeonjong’s eyes were watery as he failed to keep the maxim that one should speak clearly even if one’s mouth is crooked.
Cheongmyeong, who was watching the scene, got up from his seat and slowly held out his stomach. Then, Baek-ah, who was in Cheongmyeong’s arms, stuck her head out from between her collars and made a triumphant expression.
‘That, that…’
Now, even the smallest thing?
“There are many things I want to say, but the situation is urgent, so I will leave right away.”
“That’s right. “Cheongmyeong.”
“And from next time… Sigh… No. What can I say? “I have to understand.”
“town! Ugh! town!”
“Please make wiser decisions next time, Jang Moon-in.”
Cheongmyeong shook his head and bent down.
“Then I will come back quickly.”
“okay. Have a nice trip.”
“ha ha ha. Jang Moon-in also seems to be happy. Are you good enough to dance like this? haha. Stay still! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Cheongmyeong, who caught a glimpse of the scene full of confusion and joy, smiled and went outside.
widely.
Seeing him come out with an extremely refreshed face, Unam asked awkwardly.
“What happened?”
“Sasook. “I will go to Yangtze River.”
“…okay. “Go quickly.”
“yes. Heeheehee!”
As I was looking at Cheongmyeong’s back, which was now far away, it seemed as if his steps were moving briskly. At that time, a desperate scream was heard from behind Unam.
“Hit it! “Knock them all out, you bastards! Tell them not to go!”
“Oh, please stay still!”
“The older people get, the more immature they become!”
Hearing the sound of the three people fighting, Unam slowly lowered his head.
“Guys.”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
“Cover your ears…”
“…Yes.”
After many twists and turns, Manjong, with his grumpy cheeks full of anger, set off like a beam of light toward the Yangtze River.
