Episode 846 A volcano without you is not a volcano. (1)
“Yes?”
“yes?”
“Eh?”
“uh?”
“What are you saying?”
Although each reaction was different, the emotions contained in each reaction were the same.
The disciples of Hwasan who gathered around Hyeonjong kept blinking. It was as if he could not understand what he had just heard.
Those who were looking at Hyeonjong with blank, dumb faces turned to each other. Judging by everyone’s stupid faces, it seemed like they had not misheard Hyeonjong’s words.
“That… a long letter?”
Baeksang spoke carefully and tilted his head slightly.
“I… that mistake… if I didn’t hear it… that….” It was
difficult to get the words out, but my eyes kept scanning the surroundings. It was to check whether he understood the situation correctly.
I was hoping that I had misheard, but all the executioners I met nodded their heads slightly. What he thinks is correct.
“Did… did you just say that… the… door…?”
Baeksang was so absurd that he laughed as he spoke.
It’s a seal.
What kind of nonsense is this….
“…That’s right.”
“Eek?”
“yes?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Are we?”
When the confirmation was lost, Hwasan’s disciples all had a seizure. Of course, it was Jo Geol who soared the most violently.
“No, Jang Moon-in! What sin have we committed? “Have you committed fraud somewhere without us knowing… Uggyaaaaaaa!”
“Jodong-ri, you bastard! “This damn club!”
Yoon Jong, who grabbed Jo Geol by the collar like a thunderbolt, hit her on the chin one after another, knocking her unconscious.
“Hmm.”
While holding the limp jogeol in one hand, Yoonjong covered his mouth with the other hand and cleared his throat gently. Left and right were in perfect disharmony, but no one had the presence of mind to pay attention to it.
“…I’m embarrassed, Jang Moon-in. Of course, you must have meant it, but it is such a sudden announcement.”
Everyone nodded vigorously.
As eyes filled with demands for an explanation poured in, Hyeonjong slowly turned his head. After a movement without any strength, the place where his gaze was placed was, of course, the place of Cheongmyeong.
Meanwhile, Cheongmyeong is smiling brightly.
At that moment, Jo Geol, who was almost half fainted, let out a terrifying scream, shook off Yoon Jong, rushed at Baek Cheon, and immediately grabbed him by the collar.
“What have you done! Hey, you human! “What on earth have you done?”
Baekcheon did not get angry even though Sajil grabbed Sasuk by the collar and made an outrageous situation. No, it would be correct to say that it was not produced. He just tried to ignore Jo Geol’s fiercely burning gaze with an awkward expression on his face.
“No… that bastard did it, why are you doing this to me?”
“If there is a fire, is it the fire’s fault? It’s the fault of the person who started the fire, right? What’s wrong with that bastard! “It was Sa-sook’s fault for arousing that idiot!”
It may sound like nonsense, but all of Hwasan’s disciples here vehemently agreed with Jo Geol’s words.
Even Baekcheon was deeply aware of his own sins.
“Did you think it was me who would do something like this?”
How can an ordinary person judge the thoughts of a crazy person?
Bongmun is not the name of a local dog; it is probably a reference to something like lightning in a dry sky.
“…a long writer. No, what on earth did you hear so suddenly…”
Yunjong looked at Cheongmyeong and Hyeonjong in a daze, then cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Of course… whatever the reason, if Jang Mun-in so orders, I must follow it as a disciple, but I would like to at least know the reason.”
“That’s it…”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“That…”
Hyeonjong’s eyes became increasingly moist.
Seeing that, Yunjong couldn’t even dare to question him.
Yunjong violently turned his head.
“Explain it to me, you idiot!” Why on earth do you suddenly want to ask for help? “It’s not like we committed any crime!”
“That sounds strange.”
Cheongmyeong picked his ear with his index finger and blew on the tip of his finger with his mouth.
“It’s not up to me to decide what to do, and I’m just a powerless third generation disciple.”
“A powerless three great disciple? “Are you powerless?”
That disgusting bastard.
“And what, does Bongmun have to do something wrong? That’s because when those old school bastards commit a crime, they don’t want to get scolded, so they lock the door and hide, like it’s a meal. “Originally, you just do what you want to do.”
“So why are you doing it now!”
Baeksang quickly came forward to support Yoonjong.
“Yeah man! What a time it is! The whole world praises volcanoes! The business is spreading like wings! It’s a time when volcanoes are talked about more than that old school! When the water comes in, you have to row! Do you capsize your boat because you don’t want to follow the water? “You… you crazy bastard!”
Baeksang pounded his chest as if he was upset.
“Please don’t just stay still, but say something, Mr. Footnote!”
And I asked Hyunyoung for support. Then Hyeonyoung spoke with an extremely stern expression.
“Cheongmyeong might have an idea.”
“Err!”
It doesn’t matter when or where, really!
At that time, Jo Geol, who had let go of Baek Cheon’s collar, rolled his eyes and this time rushed at Cheong Myeong.
“Hey, you crazy bird…! “Kyaul!”
And it bounced back at the same speed it was running at and rolled around. The sad thing is that no one took action like that.
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong slowly folded his outstretched legs, clicked his tongue, and looked back at everyone.
“It seems like everyone has a misunderstanding.”
“huh?”
“This is not my opinion.”
“huh? “Then who?”
Cheongmyeong closed his eyes with a solemn face and nodded.
“I’m just doing what Master Baekcheon tells me to do. “Isn’t it Sajil’s duty to do what Sasuk tells him to do?”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Baekcheon.
Baekcheon, who received that gaze, smiled gently.
“…Just beat me to death. “Don’t bother me like this, just kill me gracefully.”
“When did you say I bullied you? “That’s harsh.”
Baekcheon covered his face with both hands and his shoulders trembled helplessly.
“Jang Moon-in! Are you really going to listen to that nonsense?”
“No matter how clear it is, isn’t this a bit harsh?”
“I don’t understand! It’s a seal. Why do we pray? “The sins were committed by Shaolin and shamans, so what will the world think of us if we do Buddhist service?”
As the disciples all rose up and became excited, King Hyeonjong looked at them all with sad eyes.
But then a soft voice was heard that silenced everyone.
“Bongmun.”
The disciples’ eyes turned to one place. Yu Iseol, who received the gaze while sitting in the center, nodded calmly.
“Go back to the volcano and the gate.”
“….”
“Okay.”
The disciples exchanged looks.
‘No, Samae, why are you doing that again?’
‘Who knows what’s inside of him! Inside him!’
‘I’m going crazy and jumping up and down.’
If Cheongmyeong is a typhoon that is visible from afar, Yuisul is an earthquake that comes suddenly. You can still prepare for a typhoon, but there is no way to prepare for an earthquake.
“Anyway, that’s how it is, so everyone get ready. “I’m going to the volcano.”
“No, you bastard!”
“What on earth are you doing?”
At that time, Baekcheon, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“huh?”
His face was frozen.
“Start by explaining so that you can understand. “It’s not something that should be overlooked like this.”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong nodded as if he understood.
“The reason is simple.”
His finger pointed at Yu Iseol.
Yu Iseol nodded without saying a word.
The finger then pointed to Baekcheon, then to Jogeol, and then to Yunjong. And soon, he looked at all the gathered disciples of Hwasan one by one.
Cheongmyeong spoke calmly, pointing out each and every student, even the last one.
“Because I’m weak.”
“….”
There was silence for a moment. Everyone’s faces hardened.
The atmosphere changed in an instant, as if something bad had happened.
It was a white elephant that broke the silence.
“…I understand.”
He stared at Cheongmyeong and opened his mouth as if he still didn’t understand.
“Clearly we are lacking. We did not perform well in this battle either. “All I could do was hold on to everyone’s ankles and hang around.”
“that’s right.”
“But Cheongmyeong. There is a time in everything. “It is only natural that a warrior should devote himself to training, but isn’t it time to look at bigger things?”
Baeksang sighed.
“I understand your impatience, but in just one year… no, just half a year, Hwasan’s position will be significantly strengthened. “Sapae-ryeon signed a three-year treaty, so there’s no reason why we can’t wait even half a year, right?”
“half a year?”
“Yes, half a year!”
Baeksang looked at Cheongmyeong with fierce eyes.
As a member of the Ministry of Finance, he has learned Hwasan’s finances, learned how the world works, and observed the flow of Hwasan’s commercial power.
That’s why I know. More clearly than anyone else here.
What a great opportunity Hwasan now has in his hands.
If it were a different sect, this would be an opportunity that would make all of its disciples rush in and try their best to make the most of this opportunity. But don’t you want to kick this opportunity and throw it into a pile of manure and trample it?
He couldn’t understand this situation at all.
“What good will come of waiting half a year?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? First of all, money! And fame! Moreover, there are numerous sects that want to join forces with Hwasan and Cheonwoo-maeng. “Plus, fame and standing!”
“….”
“Double the volcano at once! Three times! This is an opportunity to grow perhaps five times more! Isn’t this what you’ve been longing for? “But after making so many sacrifices, it’s finally coming to fruition, so what a blessing!”
Cheongmyeong looked at Baeksang in silence. The Baeksang, who was anxious for no reason, suddenly raised his voice.
“And this is not just about the present! If you wait for your reputation to ripen a little more, open the door and accept Myeongja Bae, talented children from all kinds of influential families will pour in! That’s what will guarantee the volcano’s future!”
“….”
“But why are you throwing away all those opportunities? “Why on earth?”
Everyone agreed with Baek Sang’s words.
Anyone can see that the volcano is currently experiencing an unprecedented flow. If we can ride this trend well, it is not a dream to be on par with that old group.
“Tell me. Are you really going to say that Mupa doesn’t need anything other than martial arts? “I guess that’s not what you want to say?”
Everyone just looked at Cheongmyeong’s mouth. There was a firm determination in each person’s eyes not to back down easily this time.
Cheongmyeong stared at everyone with slightly dark eyes. And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Good financial resources. The reputation is good and the honor is good. “As everyone knows, I’m a person who really likes that kind of thing, right?”
“But why are you doing this?”
“Why are you asking if you know? I told you. Because the executioners are weak. Because private quarters are weak.”
“This…”
Baeksang spoke with anger as he gritted his teeth at the inconsistent answer.
“Give me the right answer!”
“This is the answer. Because Sasuk is weak.”
“Hey man!”
“Don’t you understand?”
Baeksang momentarily closed his mouth at Cheongmyeong’s cold question. This is because the weight carried in that voice was considerable.
Cheongmyeong spoke softly but clearly in the silence.
“That’s it. Surviving through luck.”
Cool eyes scanned everyone.
“Next time…”
Those who met his gaze trembled.
“Someone here must die.”
For a moment, everyone’s mouths fell silent.
