Episode 849 A volcano without you is not a volcano. (4)
“Uh…”
Hyunjong looked at the person sitting in front of him with complex emotions that were difficult to explain.
“That…”
In fact, according to common sense, this story makes no sense.
But when I look at those big baby deer-like eyes, I can’t help but smile.
“No…”
Every time I made up my mind and tried to speak, I was speechless because those bright eyes were filled with water.
Hyeonjong, who could not bear to meet those eyes, quietly avoided his gaze and muttered softly.
“That’s… I want to do that, but…”
I feel like I can’t get the words out of my mouth.
“That Bongmun thing… It’s a law with principles, but bringing in a foreigner…”
His sullen face softened. When he lowered his head, he could see the round, shiny head so well that Hyeonjong flinched again.
When Hyeyeon became discouraged, the disciples behind her quickly noticed Baekcheon.
Baekcheon, who was pushed back by the force, cleared his throat slightly and opened his mouth.
“I… Jang Moon-in. Of course, in principle, it is true that outsiders cannot enter a clan that belongs to a clan…”
He glanced at Hyeyeon, who was sitting sullenly, and continued speaking.
“Monk Hyeyeon… can’t be said to be an outsider in Hwasan, can’t he?”
“Of course!”
“you’re right! A long writer! We have never thought of Monk Hyeyeon as an outsider!”
“Wouldn’t it be helpful if we practiced together? “It is very difficult to find someone as strong as Monk Hyeyeon.”
The disciples joined together and shouted with one voice.
Hyeyeon looked back with a touched face as she heard the voices of Hwasan disciples thinking of her.
“It’s better to get hit together!”
“If that person is stubborn, he’ll give me one punch.”
“I don’t see people living comfortably outside alone.”
…Then that’s right. These devil bastards.
In any case, it was true that Hwasan’s disciples were helping him, whether out of kindness or malice.
“…a long writer.”
Baekcheon received support and opened his mouth again.
“As you know, Monk Hyeyeon has declared that she will not return to Shaolin. Of course, the deadline may not be forever, but doesn’t Jang Mun-in know that it is difficult to return to Shaolin in the current situation?”
“…yes.”
“Monk Hyeyeon is someone who has lived in Shaolin her entire life. If you can’t stay in Shaolin or Hwasan, there’s nowhere else to go. Considering that situation, I think it would be a good idea to look at the situation just this once.”
It was great logic and upright posture.
‘After all, it’s a private residence.’
‘I heard it’s really useful in times like this.’
Jang Moon-in’s distressed expression, Baek-cheon’s proud back, and even poor Hye-yeon’s back looks like a puppy getting caught in the rain. The disciples had no doubt that these words would work.
That is, until a man who doesn’t know what compassion is appears along the way.
“Very…”
A crooked voice rang out.
The disciples all shrank their necks at the voice that made those who heard it instinctively flinch.
“The sect is going back to its roots.”
“….”
What made the disciples sad was that it was not Cheongmyeong who said these words. If Cheongmyeong spoke, he would have tried to fight at least a distance, but the person who was completely unable to fight at a distance was glaring at them with his eyes wide open.
“Now, Elder…”
Hyeonyoung burst into laughter.
“It can be said that being a scholar is the most important decision that a scholar from a sect can make.”
“That’s right.”
“But how dare the two great disciples and the three great disciples tell Jang Mun-in to make exceptions here and there in the Fengmun? Jang Mun-in asks if they are coming or not, so these are crossing the line! “Are they all flocking here and telling Jang Moon-in to do this and that?”
The heads of the volcano disciples sank lower and lower.
In fact, they knew very well that that statement was not so wrong. If it were any other sect, it would be unthinkable for its disciples to make any demands regarding such an important matter as Bongmun.
“They said they take it for granted if you treat them well!”
As Hyeonyoung opened his eyes and pushed hard, the disciples were in a prone position.
‘Who asked to come to Jang Mun-in as a group?’
‘I think it was Joe Girl’s death sentence.’
‘Tell that bastard to stay after he’s done. what? If we come in a group, you won’t be able to ignore us, right? It’s really killing me!’
They came as a group and they were just treated as a group.
That time when everyone sighed in resignation.
Unbelievable words continued.
“That’s what I should do, not you!”
“….”
“Jangmun-in.”
Unbelievably, Hyeonyoung spoke with a deep embrace.
“There are laws in a sect, but there are also exceptions. Monk Hyeyeon also risked his life fighting with Hwasan several times. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a close friend and frequent guest of the volcano.”
“Hmm.”
“So, I think we should make an exception this time and go to the temple together.”
The disciples of Hwasan open their eyes wide.
“Oh my… Elder?”
“I thought you would say that it would be better to have at least one less mouth to swallow food?”
“Of course, it doesn’t cost much since you only eat grass, but…”
“No. Monk Hyeyeon, you eat meat, right?”
“Shut up, man!”
The disciples started whispering in surprise and slowly turned their attention to King Hyeonjong.
Hyeonjong looked at Hyeonyoung with an uneasy expression.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better if you just didn’t come forward?”
“Procedure is an important law. “Of course, we have to consider what is right.”
“…Okay.”
Hyeonjong took a deep breath and spoke to the phenomenon.
“Ungakju.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“Has there ever been a time in the history of Hwasan where guests or foreigners were brought to the funeral?”
“…Hwasan has no history of being visited. “A long writer.”
“….”
Good. That’s how they are our ancestors. You’re different from those Shaolin bastards who ask questions when they’re bored!
Oh no. That’s not important now.
“Then what about other clans?”
“I’m good at that…”
“…Is that so?”
It was a very difficult issue to decide.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes?”
When I had a headache, it was best to use Cheongmyeong.
“What do you think?”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong thought for a moment, then clicked his tongue and looked back at Hyeyeon.
“It wouldn’t work if I followed the principles, but…”
“….”
“Tsk. Just looking at it, if you put it out there, you’ll probably starve to death because you won’t be able to beg, so let’s just take it with you. “If you just leave it there, the beggar man will run in and gather it to feed you, but you will eat the porridge and give it to him… No, you can’t give it to a beggar.”
“….”
“And if that spineless bastard goes back to Shaolin because he’s hungry, his stomach will hurt the same way. I can’t see others doing well. cancer.”
Hyunjong grinned.
How can he be so consistently bad-hearted? All the same….
“But it’s a Bonmun….”
“It’s not that we did anything wrong and we’re just going to lock the gate and practice, so who’s going to blame us for that?”
“…After hearing it, it seems like that.”
“and!”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong’s eyes twinkled.
“If you catch the pod, it will be the old sect bastards. If those bastards have even a trace of conscience left, you shouldn’t catch the pod in the volcano. I ask you to give it a try. Because I will run to that day, pour oil on it and set it on fire! Thinking about it makes me mad again! These bastards need to feel that everyone is equal in front of the fire…”
“Whoa, Cheongmyeong, calm down.”
“Now, you’re a good boy.”
“Good idea. “Good idea.”
“Whoop!” Phew! Whoop!”
Cheongmyeong took several deep breaths.
“after. “I feel a bit calmer now.”
“okay. Thank goodness….”
“If there’s someone who’s trying to do something wrong, just open the seal and go and destroy those bastards first, Jang Moon-in. “If possible, it would be nice if you could give me something else.”
Yes, Cheongmyeong.
This person is so happy to hear that it is true.
Perhaps this Bongmun may be a Red Bok for Kangho. That unbridled colt… No, it’s like Asura locking himself in a cage.
“Anyway, then…”
Hyunjong sighed and looked back at everyone.
“Everyone seems to agree, so let’s let Monk Hyeyeon go to the volcano together.”
“Thank you, Jang Mun-in!”
“Good, monk! Now let’s roll together!”
“…I wonder if it’s something I should like….”
“Ah. Of course you’ll like it!”
“…Amitabha Buddha.”
Hyeonjong smiled briefly and made a request.
“Then, all the important details have been decided, so everyone get ready. “I’m leaving.”
“yes?”
“Right now?”
Hyeonjong nods his head.
“I told them to remove the ox horn as soon as possible. There is no benefit in taking more time. Let’s leave while I’m at it. “Now every day is important.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
The disciples of Hwasan got up without hesitation and rushed out. I had to hurry to pack up my luggage.
A small smile appeared on Hyunjong’s lips as he watched this.
* * *
“Then let’s go.”
“i look forward to.”
“See you next time!”
The disciples of Hwasan greeted the gathered members of the Tang family, the Green Foresters, and even the bandits who were seeing them off from afar.
“Dang family lord.”
Hyeonjong looked at Tanggunak with an expression of regret.
“I’m sorry it happened this way.”
“Don’t apologize, Master. We know that this is not a choice for the volcanoes, it is a choice for everyone.”
“….”
“You can leave the rest to us. “Isn’t a friend someone who shares each other’s burdens?”
Hyeonjong slightly closed his eyes at those words.
In the past, even when a volcano was on the verge of collapse, no one offered a helping hand. But now it’s different. There are people who are willing to take the initiative and share the burden. I have a close friend.
Next to him, Hyeonyoung asked Lim So-byeong about something related to Maehwado.
“Please be kind to me.”
“Don’t worry, Elder. “I will send the ledger to Hwasan once every three months.”
“There’s no need to go that far.”
“Anything that is certain is good. How could a person who entrusted his money to a bandit feel at ease? Don’t worry. “There won’t be a single coin mistake.”
“…Thank you for your concern.”
Lim So-byeong sneaks closer to Hyeon-young and whispers softly.
“…Isn’t there someone who will come after you and threaten to kill you if you make one mistake?”
“He is like that too. “Cluck, click, click.”
Those who shared a smile took a step back.
“Then I’ll see you next time.”
When King Hyeonjong shouted in front of him, everyone shouted at the remaining people.
“I’ll definitely see you again!”
“Please take care of the Yangtze River!”
“I will become so strong that you won’t recognize me!”
“Cheer up!”
As the Hwasan disciples shouted out their cheerful greetings, the others responded by bursting into laughter.
“then!”
The volcano disciples bow their heads and turn around.
As they slowly began to move away from the Yangtze River, Tang Kunak lightly stamped his feet.
“huh?”
When the Hwasan disciples turned around, Tang Gunak stretched out his hand. In keeping with him, everyone remaining on the Yangtze River swept in unison.
“Good luck!”
There was heat in the loud shout. The volcano’s disciples pursed their lips.
No answer needed. Because I already said hello.
I just turned my head again and quickened my steps.
“…You’re gone.”
“I see.”
Lim So-byeong nodded, glanced at Tanggunak and asked.
“Why are you smiling?”
Tang Gunak, who was twitching the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat briefly and cleared his expression.
“I’m already looking forward to it.”
“yes?”
His eyes were fixed on the disciples of Hwasan who were moving away.
“I keep getting excited when I think about how much they will have grown when they break through the gate.”
Lim So-byeong also nodded. Certainly, he agreed with that statement.
“I have to work hard. To avoid seeing the devil that broke through the gate and rushes at me with his eyes closed. Even now, I can’t handle it, but back then…” “…That’s a bit
scary to me too.”
Tang Gunak smiled and watched the volcano moving away until the end.
‘I’ll be waiting.’
The day when those who have grown up will come back.
The world will truly be engraved.
The names Hwasan and Cheonwoomaeng.
