Episode 850 A volcano without you is not a volcano. (5)
“…It’s a volcano.”
“Oh, it’s a volcano…”
“…We’ve arrived.”
The disciples of the volcano looked up at the peak of the volcano rising high above the clouds with black, dead faces.
In the past, when I returned from Shaanxi and saw this high peak, an inexplicable feeling bloomed from deep within my heart. In the end, I realized that their roots could only be those barren peaks.
However, even if you wash your eyes, you cannot see the emotion on the faces of the volcano disciples who are looking at the tall cliffs of the volcano.
There was only an endless feeling of despair.
“…climb that?”
“With this body?”
“…Just kill him. Just… kill me.”
The eyes of the volcano disciples became moist.
When they first set off from the Yangtze River, their hearts were full of motivation.
What Qingming said to them was definitely not wrong. While dealing with all the people, Hwasan’s disciples keenly felt their own shortcomings. The sense of crisis that they might have to watch the death penalty die right next to them with their own eyes if things continued like this certainly stimulated them.
Thanks to this, my motivation was overflowing and my determination was clear.
Therefore, even when Cheongmyeong drove at an absurd speed and covered an enormous distance in one day, they did not utter a single word of complaint.
However, when I was told that I would start training as soon as I found a place to stay with my body squeezed so that not a single drop of moisture was left in my body, my eyes were shaking… When the beatings started under the pretext of training, bloody tears flowed
.
I was rolling around until late at night, and when I finally managed to fall asleep, I thought something was wrong, and when I was kicked and forced to wake up just an hour after falling asleep, two curses came out of my mouth.
Been doing that for a few days.
“Death penalty…. blood flowing from the mouth. “Please wipe it down.”
“It’s because my lips are chapped. “But your face turned gray?”
“I guess I’m going to die soon.”
“….”
The beggars reached the volcano with the intention of throwing them coins out of pity. There wasn’t a single soul left in the eyes.
And at this moment, they could not help but be caught up in a fundamental question.
“…Why did you have to settle down there?”
“Are you out of your mind? uh? “Have you no idea?”
“Are you doing this to screw up your descendants? Was Sajo the same person as Cheongmyeong?”
Even though the news poured in like a storm, no one accused him of being rude.
It has to be that way.
My legs are so shaky that they’re likely to break if I even get caught on a rock, but since I have to climb that ridiculous cliff right away, it’s even weirder if I don’t curse out of my mouth.
While everyone was in despair, there was only one person who brightened up.
“Ugh! “It’s a volcano!”
“….”
A lively voice burst out from Cheongmyeong’s mouth behind him.
“I was upset because I couldn’t practice properly on the street. Now I can try to do it properly! My mouth is already watering! “Giggle, giggle.”
“…that crazy bastard.”
“….”
The fact that this curse did not come from the mouth of Hwasan’s disciple, but from the mouth of ‘Hyeonjong’, succinctly proved what was happening here.
However, Cheongmyeong just pointed at the volcano with a look on his face saying he was happy to die regardless of whether he was criticized or not.
“What are you doing?”
“….”
“Go up.”
“….”
“For your information, the executioner who falls off the cliff starts over from the bottom. “The thirty people who arrive last have to start all over again.”
“….”
“Ugh! I should have done this a long time ago! “I feel sick to my stomach!”
“…Please die, Cheongmyeong. “Please!”
“ruler! depart!”
Cheongmyeong, who didn’t even listen to the curses pouring in from all over, calmly kicked the butts of the executioners in front of him.
They were Hwasan’s disciples who belatedly thought that it might have been better to join the Maninbang.
Cheolpudeok.
Jo Geol, who had barely passed the mountain gate, fell over. The ground greeted his face, saying he was happy, but unfortunately, Jo Geol didn’t even have enough strength left to place his hands on the floor.
Jo Geol greeted the floor with her whole face and twitched and opened her mouth.
“…execution.”
“….”
“Are you alive?”
Then, a voice like the sound of an ant escaped from the mouth of Yunjong, who was lying motionless next to him.
“…dead.”
The word ‘attentive’ is usually used as a compliment.
But now, Hwasan’s disciples could only curse at Cheongmyeong’s attention to detail, such as ‘damn’ and ‘doggy’.
That damn bastard was so meticulous that he varied the intensity of training to suit each individual’s level. Thanks to this, the Five Swords, who were clearly stronger than the other disciples, had no choice but to become the Super Master Swords as well.
“That guy… you’re a needlessly meticulous bastard.”
“…They’re geniuses at bullying others…”
Yoonjong and Jogeol even fell off the cliff and crawled back up from the bottom of the volcano twice.
When I fell, it felt like someone’s foot stepped on my face… but what can I do with that now?
And that was right then.
Couuuuuuuuck!
Yunjong and Jo Geol, who were lying down, flinched and turned their heads at the sound of something huge moving. My eyes clearly saw the mountain gate of the volcano closing without any room.
“Lock it.”
Coo! Coo!
A large bolt secured the door.
It was a common sight, but today it looked as if the gates of hell were closing.
“ruler. “With this, the funeral is over.”
“…with that?”
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders in response to Baekcheon’s question.
“Is there anything great about Bongmun? “If you close the door, don’t go outside, and don’t receive any visitors, that’s your doorstep.”
Cheongmyeong bent his neck left and right.
“Okay, everyone wake up.”
“….”
“What? “Aren’t you going to wake up?”
The human body is honest.
They may have had different opinions in their heads, but their bodies, which had been rolled over, beaten, and abused, responded quickly to the voices they heard.
Hwasan’s disciples quickly stood up and lined up.
Cheongmyeong tilted his head crookedly as he looked around at the disciples of Hwasan who had become rags.
“Since this is the main gate, we are preparing for the future…”
His voice was as crooked as his posture.
“Well, it seems like there are people in the death penalty who hear things like that and think this is something very romantic.”
As Cheongmyeong looks at him with snake-like eyes, his disciples flinch and slightly avoid Cheongmyeong’s gaze.
“I hope that you will accurately understand the situation. Do you see it over there?”
Cheongmyeong pointed to the closed door with his chin.
“…Why the door?”
When Baekcheon asked in a dying voice, Cheongmyeong smiled and said.
“Among these…”
“….”
“If even one person fails to reach the level I want.”
“….”
“You will no longer have to look outside the volcano. For the rest of his life, he will just live intimately with me in prose and then we will fall apart. yes? “Do you know what I mean?”
“….”
“Do it straight, straight.”
At this point, everyone had no choice but to understand.
This means that there is a distance between the gate they thought of and the gate that Cheongmyeong thought would span the central plain.
But even though I knew now, it wasn’t something I could turn back.
“And…”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes turned slightly to the side.
Still, there was time, so the Unja ships that were excluded from the line were sitting and resting, but when they caught Cheongmyeong’s gaze, they secretly turned their heads.
“Those of you who are stiff-necked, you still have face issues, so please talk to me separately later.”
After hearing those words, Ungeom spoke to Unam with a happy expression.
“execution.”
“huh?”
“But hasn’t Cheongmyeong become much nicer? “They also think about the reputation of their dormitories.”
“Did I eat something wrong?”
“….”
Ungeom was speechless. Before I knew it, Unam had become very rough.
Slurp.
Cheongmyeong slowly pulled out the black sword. Then he stabbed the sword into the floor and looked at everyone.
“The joke ends here.”
“….”
Cheongmyeong opened his mouth, looking at everyone.
“Even if it’s me, I have skills….”
“Ah. “Is there no way to increase it quickly?”
“….”
Cheongmyeong opened his eyes wide and looked at Baekcheon.
Then Jo Geol, who was standing next to Baek Cheon, clicked his tongue.
“At least, ‘Muhak is damn honest. There are bound to be limits to expedient methods.’ “They might say something like this.”
“….”
Yoonjong nodded slowly and opened his mouth with a solemn face.
“So, they would say that you should sleep less, rest less, and just practice and practice again. boring. boring.”
“….”
Cheongmyeong, completely deprived of anything to say, looked at the three people with a blank face.
At that time, Yu Iseol delivered the final blow.
“Old man.”
“….”
Tang Soso also did not sit still.
“Anyway, whenever you open your mouth, you try to scare people. “Is there anyone here who doesn’t know about that?”
My body is tired enough.
However, the more tired your body becomes, the more it comes to life because of the miasma. If you take out the miasma, isn’t a volcano a corpse?
“You keep saying obvious things day and night.”
Baekcheon chuckled.
“You’d better stop worrying about yourself. “No matter how much you are, it will be difficult for you to handle all of us.”
Jogeol also agreed and giggled.
“Do you need to sweat the soles of your feet? “Don’t cry because you can’t eat it later.”
Yoonjong also nodded.
“You’d better think carefully about what you mean. “Even if you want to run away, that door won’t open.”
“It creates a hole in the body for air. please.”
There was life in Yu Iseol’s eyes.
The disciples of Hwasan who lined up all widened their eyes and agreed with those words.
“Watch out, you bastard! “Do you think you’ll be safe if we get together?”
“Now is the time to do whatever you want! “We’ll see when the seal is released.”
“The grudges that have built up so far! “I’ll pay you back in one fell swoop!”
“…It’s not me, Cheongmyeong. “I am always grateful.”
“What kind of bastard were you just now?”
Cheongmyeong burst into laughter as it poured out beyond poison and even to life.
Hyeonjong, who was watching this, smiled and stepped forward.
As Hyeonjong walked to the center, Hwasan’s disciples also calmed down their venomous eyes and stood quietly, as if they had never been like that before.
“In the past…”
Hyeonjong opened his mouth amidst the silence.
“It is said that the person who honed the volcano sword to its peak was called the ‘Plum Blossom Swordsman.’”
“…Plum Geomsu.”
“That name is none other than a title given by Hwasan to his disciple. It is said that the person who received the name of Plum Blossom Sword could confidently declare anywhere in the world that his sword represented the sword of Hwasan.”
A clear light appeared in the eyes of the volcano disciples.
“It will be difficult. Practicing while locked inside the main mountain must be more difficult than you think. However…”
Hyeonjong smiled, taking in all his disciples at a glance.
“When that closed door opens again, I hope that you all will be able to proudly call yourself Plum Swordsmen.”
If that were possible, no one in the world would dare to ignore the name of the volcano.
“Can you do it?”
“yes! A long writer!”
“We will do it!”
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue after hearing the loud answer.
“Does that mean you just have motivation?”
“But that bastard…”
“But there’s nothing to worry about.”
Cheongmyeong grabbed the black sword and twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Because I will definitely make it happen.”
Time is running out. It’s too short a time to turn those yellow chicks into eagles.
But…
‘I do it.’
Like a volcano in the past. No, more than that.
We will make the plum blossoms they have grown bloom all over the world.
“Let’s get started. They won’t listen even if you cry, so be prepared!”
Cheongmyeong’s loud voice rang out.
The cool wind that comes down from the summit gently envelops the volcano and spreads back down the mountain.
Plum trees survive the long winter to bloom.
The plum blossoms that bloom only after going through a period of harsh and arduous suffering will become redder and more splendid, coloring the volcanic spring that will come someday.
