Episode 921 Wow, you really have no shame. (1)
The mountain gate of the volcano was filled with people.
“Oh, I told you not to push!”
“No, this person? “You intervened and then it’s someone else’s fault!”
“You’re interfering? “I’ve been standing in line since dawn this morning!”
“dawn? What’s new? I’ve been waiting here since last night, covered in dew! You arrived somewhere late at dawn and are pretending to come quickly! “This is not the right kind of person!”
“Is that possible? “Where are you bluffing…!”
When the two tried to grab each other, those standing next to them stopped them.
“Are these guys crazy? “Where is this place?”
“Here’s a volcano, a volcano! “Have you ever been struck by lightning?”
“If we are kicked out because of you, do you think we will be pushed off a cliff?”
Yoonjong, who saw this while sweeping the training ground, muttered with a blank face.
“Walk.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“Why did they all come here like that? “What are all those bags?”
“No, what should you do when you, the man who will become a scholar in the future, don’t even know such things? “Aren’t they the people who heard that Hwasan released the seal and came to show their faces?”
“…Like that?”
“It’s not a lot… No, it’s a lot.”
Jogeol cleared his throat as he looked at the endless line of people beyond the mountain gate.
“If you think about it, it’s not that surprising. Even before Bongmun, there were many visitors to the volcano.”
“Of course.”
“But people I haven’t seen in three years are stopping by all at once to say hello, so this is only natural. Moreover, the location of the volcano has increased compared to before.”
Even before Bongmun, it had almost occupied the position of the representative sect of Hwasan Shaanxi. In addition, this position was almost solidified by preventing the invasion of Sapa.
The world’s assessment was that it would not be easy to overturn this situation even if Jong-Nam released the Fengmun, so the influential figures in Shaanxi were anxious to keep their line at Hwasan.
With even outsiders coming from long distances to line up at Cheonwoomaeng, it was clear that the line would grow longer and longer as the days went by.
“What a worldly mess…”
Jogeol giggled as she looked at Yoonjong shaking his head.
“Others may not know, but they have to get used to the death penalty. Later, when you become a scholar, you will have to deal with those people.”
“….”
Yunjong looked at the people gathered at the mountain gate with a tired face.
Those people? He’s all?
“No, no. I guess it’s barely that much. “It’s still like this, so by the time the execution is over, there might be a line up almost to the entrance of the volcano.”
“You can’t believe it’s that bad….”
“You’re making it sound easy. “That is also kept to a minimum.”
“Choi Minimum?”
“of course. Won’t it be at least twenty or thirty years before the death penalty ascends to the position of a senior scholar? Jang Mun-in is still corrected and Sa-suk is still alive with his eyes open.”
“…The expression is a bit strange, though. anyway.”
“What do you think will happen to Cheongmyeong thirty years from now?”
“….”
Not a volcano, but Qingming?
“What happened to Cheongmyeong? In thirty years…”
Yoonjong closed his mouth.
“Not long ago, it was Hwasan God Dragon, but now it is Hwasam Sword Association. In about 30 years, well… it will be like HwanwoojeilmaehwaInvincible Sword Emperor.”
“…You should laugh at a joke, but the problem is that it doesn’t sound like a joke.”
“It’s not a joke, is it?”
“….”
“If you’re going to take a guy like that and act like a magistrate, you’re going to have to worry about the death penalty.”
Jo Geol giggled and laughed. For the first time, Yoon Jong seriously considered handing over the position of Jang Mun-in to Jo Geol.
“…Jang Mun-in must be going through a lot of hardships.”
It was then.
“Hwasan Shinryooooooooo! No, it’s a volcano! “We’re in big trouble!”
Someone jumped over the mountain gate of the volcano like a thunderbolt and shouted at the top of their lungs.
“…You’ll have to deal with people like that too.”
“Iknow, right.”
The two people who identified Hong Dae-gwang, the beggar who jumped over the mountain gate, shook their heads together.
“Maehwa Island?”
“That’s right!”
Hong Dae-gwang drank the water prepared by Hyeon-young to quench his burning throat and continued speaking.
“The Namgung family has taken over Maehwa Island! “This is news delivered by our cute Cheonri Cheonggu who literally flew a thousand miles away!”
“…It seems like animal abuse at that point.”
Well, it looks like a pigeon, but its wings are a bit blue, so it flies a thousand miles when it gets bored. Poor thing.
Cheongmyeong looked intently at the blue dove picking its feathers on Hong Dae-gwang’s shoulder.
Doesn’t that thing run away a thousand miles just to get something delicious? If it were Baek-ah, we would have killed and eaten two wild boars along the way, laid down on our stomachs, and even had a drink.
Well… that’s right. When I think about it, it’s really useful…
“Oh no!”
Hong Dae-gwang was startled and held the Cheonri Cheonggu on his shoulder with both hands.
“What?”
“Are you looking at our Cheonri Cheonggu right now? This is the spirit of openness! no way!”
“No, you’re being so petty. “Good things are shared and shared.”
“I told you I couldn’t do it!”
“Tsk. Openness has also become stricter. “It wasn’t like that in the past.”
“When exactly are the old days you’re talking about?”
“There is such a thing.”
yes. It wasn’t like that back then.
Even though he hid a jug of alcohol in his arms, if he ran into me, he would politely offer it with both hands for me to drink, and even if I said it was okay, he had the kind of affection for me that he would give it to me, tsk tsk. These days, Yeong….
“No. That’s enough.”
At that time, Hyeonyoung interrupted the situation and asked again.
“Are you saying that the Namgung family drove out their enemies and occupied Maehwa Island?”
“yes. Yes, Elder. The disciples of Opening, who confirmed this fact at the Yangtze River, immediately made a claim to heaven. “This is heart-warming news that was first sent to us from our headquarters.”
“Hmm. “The Namgung family…”
Hyeonyoung looked back at Hyeonjong with an uneasy look on her face.
“Things seem to be going unusually, Jang Moon-in.”
“…I see. No way, the Namgung family….”
While Hyeonjong and Hyeonyoung were talking, Hong Dae-gwang glanced at Cheongmyeong with new eyes.
‘What on earth is this guy doing?’
I am truly dumbfounded when things turn out like this.
Even before this happened, Cheongmyeong visited him and asked about the movements of the Namgung family. At a time when no one, not even the government, could think of the variable of the Nangong family, this guy was sitting in this distant Shaanxi, alone, watching through what was going to happen on the Yangtze River.
‘Is this possible just because I’m smart?’
I was confident that I knew enough about Cheongmyeong now, but the more I learned about this strange Taoist, the more unpredictable it became.
“Ibo. Hong Buntaju.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
Hong Dae-gwang suddenly came to his senses and looked at Hyeonjong. Because it is against etiquette to think of something else in front of a long-time scholar from one sect, especially a long-time scholar from Hwasan.
“What does the opening up think about this? “I don’t think the Sapaeryun will stay still.”
“We are still paying close attention to the movements of the Yangtze River in terms of opening up.”
Hong Dae-gwang swallowed dry saliva.
“But it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. As you know, there are so many variables…”
If a general war were to break out, predicting its course would not be as difficult as you might think. Even if the number of people participating in the war increases, the people who run the army are ultimately only a few.
However, Gangho’s war takes a different course.
Since each faction has such strong individuality and each forms an independent force, orders do not work well. Therefore, a flow that is completely different from the thoughts of the person who planned the war is created.
Just this time, no one… or almost everyone, would have even thought that the Namgung family, who had been living like a dead man for three years, would run to the Yangtze River and kill his enemies as soon as he heard this news.
“So, in the opening, we also asked Hwasan’s opinion.”
“Our opinion?”
“yes.”
Hong Dae-kwang’s eyes slightly turned to the side.
Hyeonjong, who did not miss that look in his eyes, smiled bitterly. When it comes to information, I asked why it was necessary to ask Hwasan’s opinion when the openness is second to none.
‘Cheongmyeong is a bastard.’
Perhaps unbeknownst to him, Cheongmyeong had said something to Hong Daegwang to find out the situation in Yangtze. That must have been right.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes?”
“How do you think that Sapae-ryeon will come out?”
“That’s it…”
Cheongmyeong calmly shrugged his shoulders.
“It must be Jang Il-so’s heart.”
“That’s right.”
It’s really true, but it’s useless.
“But actually, that doesn’t really matter.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Cheongmyeong said with a grin.
“Actually, Sapaeryeon is a constant. “It’s so obvious what those bastards will do now.”
“however?”
“The variables are actually those bastards. “You’re a bastard with a bald head.”
“Ma Malko….”
Of course, the bald head refers to Shaolin and Malko refers to a shaman.
“First, let’s see how Malco turns out.”
Cheongmyeong giggled.
“No matter how much I said, I wouldn’t have completely covered my ears. If I heard that the Namgung family is beating up Sapa, I would definitely get upset.”
“…I guess so.”
Those who want to restore their honor more than anyone else are none other than shamans. No matter how much the Namgung family suffered from the shame of the Yangtze River Disaster, could their shame and anger be compared to that of a shaman?
“If it were me, I would have released my seal and run to the Yangtze River right now… After all, Jang Mun-in is the only one there.”
Cheongmyeong scratched his cheek.
Heo Do-jin’s thoughts are so predictable that they are difficult to predict.
“And what’s more important than that is the shaved head…”
“Keuh.”
Hyeyeon, who was sitting in the corner, made a groaning sound.
However, Cheongmyeong completely ignored Hyeyeon’s reaction and opened his mouth.
“The situation will change a lot depending on how that person turns out.”
“How do you think it will come out?”
“…What do you think?”
“okay. “Your thoughts.”
“If that’s what I think…”
Cheongmyeong made a strange expression.
“I think I understand.”
“okay.”
“I hope that doesn’t happen as much as possible. It wouldn’t be like that if a person had the slightest sense of shame. But I guess that’s because I’m a shameless person, right?”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s really hard to explain, but if I’m right, it’s probably about now…”
That was then.
“Jangmun-in!”
Jump up!
Unam quickly kicked in the door and came in. My face was a little tired.
“What’s going on?”
Hyeonjong, sensing that something unusual had happened, asked. Unam opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
but.
“now!”
“…huh?”
Before Unam’s words could even come out, someone spoke first. Everyone’s eyes turned to Lee Cheongmyeong, who opened his mouth.
“In prose.”
“….”
“The head of Shaolin has arrived.”
“….”
“Right?”
Unam looked at him blankly, as if he had just encountered a ghost, and nodded in confusion.
“How did you know? “As soon as he saw me, he came running.”
“her.”
Cheongmyeong laughed and looked up at the ceiling.
“This is really shameless. It would be more shameful to be a fucking beggar. “You rotten bald bastard. A middle-class guy with a lot of money is not even as good as a beggar.”
“….”
Hyeyeon’s hair, sitting in the corner, turned red like a plum blossom.
