Episode 929 This is my role. (4)
Anger soared that it was unbearable. The eyes of the legal world boiled over.
So far, I have tolerated the author’s arrogance. This is because there was a clear justification for punishing him for his deviant attitude.
But now this act has clearly crossed the line.
“dole.”
The voice of the legal world came out like a growl.
The voice was incredibly low and ferocious for a Buddhist.
“This is a Shaolin event.”
“….”
“It means that it is not a matter for outsiders to interfere. Do you understand?”
Cheongmyeong looked at the legal system without saying a word.
“You may not have been aware of the situation, so I won’t dare accuse you of attacking Shaolin’s disciples. However, if you interfere one more time, I will consider it an attack on Shaolin.”
“….”
“So step back. “This is not something you can handle!”
The reason why the Buddhist community bothered to say this was because it did not forget that this place was a volcano. This was the least consideration he could give as he had to enforce Shaolin rules within the other schools.
So, of course the Hwasan Sword Association will understand the situation and step down. Anyone with at least some brains to think would not know what it means to block Shaolin’s events.
But… what he heard next was something that completely broke his expectations.
“I think you’re the one who doesn’t understand?”
“….”
At that moment, Beopgye’s eyes widened slightly.
“This is a volcano.”
Cheongmyeong said, showing his teeth.
“Anyone who wants to hurt someone inside a volcano must get permission from the volcano’s master. “That’s the law of volcanoes.”
“….”
“So take your hands off our bald head right now and step away. “Before I hit your head, not your hand.”
The face of the legal world was cruelly distorted.
“…dare!”
My anger reached such a peak that I was close to losing my mind.
Anyway, what happened in that room was a process for discussion. But not this. This is a threat and a conflict of power.
How can it be said that Shaolin must obtain permission from other gates to carry out an advisory event? In the thousand-year history of Shaolin, such a thing has never existed.
Of course, enforcing discipline inside a volcano may be crossing a line. But that is something that can be fully understood!
The author even took up the sword, saying that he could never compromise on something that could be agreed upon.
If this isn’t a challenge to Shaolin, then what is?
“Do you properly understand what the current mayor’s actions mean? How dare you say it was something you couldn’t handle?”
Anger overflowed in the voice of the legal world. However, Cheongmyeong twisted the corners of his mouth as if he thought it was funny.
“You can’t handle it?”
It was an obvious ridicule. It’s a blatant ridicule that’s hard to ignore.
The face of the court, who had never been ridiculed so blatantly before, turned red.
“You talk so well about your mouth being pierced.”
Cheongmyeong bent his neck left and right.
“You don’t seem to know much, but so far there’s nothing I can’t handle.”
“….”
“So, let’s check it out. “Whether I can handle this or not.”
The legal world gritted its teeth.
This arrogant person clearly has indulgence. It is a clear fact that that young Taoist was the only one who maintained the pride of the sect during the Yangtze River Disaster.
But this is no longer something that can be overlooked with impunity.
“The Lord is going too far. “Even if this place is a volcano, do you think it can protect you?”
“Don’t get me wrong, bald guy.”
“What…”
“It’s you, not me, that the volcano is protecting right now.”
Cheongmyeong revealed this.
“If this wasn’t a volcano, if I wasn’t a disciple of the volcano, I would have cut off your head a long time ago. “Also the head of the room next to you.”
The legal world’s mouths fell open.
“So get out. Before my patience runs out. “There is a limit to what a person can endure.”
“….”
Beopgye, who was at a loss for words, looked at Cheongmyeong blankly with eyes that he could not believe.
At least… I knew one thing for sure.
‘This man is out of his mind.’
Who in the world would dare say something like this in front of the head of Shaolin? This is something that cannot be dared to be said to be the defeat of that SPA.
What kind of place is Shaolin?
It is said that due to the urgent situation of Gangho, it cannot show the same influence as in the past, but that does not mean that Shaolin’s power has diminished.
This means that the current Shaolin is no different from the Shaolin that has led the power for the past hundreds of years.
But isn’t the author now completely denying and crushing the authority of Shaolin?
I was so devastated that I couldn’t even feel angry anymore. I don’t even know what to say. There was nothing he could do but tremble and glare at Cheongmyeong, as if he were suffering from a disease.
“dole!”
At that time, an unexpected voice burst out. It was Hyeyeon.
He shouted urgently.
“This is not Shaolin’s business! I know how the lord feels, but if you care about me, please don’t come forward…”
“What are you saying? “Shut up you baldhead!”
“….”
Hyeyeon flinched and looked at Cheongmyeong in great confusion.
“I’ll take care of it, so keep your mouth shut!”
“Ah Amita….”
And then.
The court, which had remained silent until now, opened its mouth.
“Hwasan Sword Association.”
The gazes of the two people clashed heatedly in the air.
“Don’t force yourself.”
“….”
“In this world, if there is something to gain, there is also something to lose. “If you decide to be hostile to Shaolin, you can no longer get involved in Shaolin’s internal affairs.”
It was a truly chilling voice.
“This is no different from the result of your choice. “If you make a choice, you will have to learn to pay the price.”
At first glance, the tone seemed like a quiet admonishment, but the power and authority of the Millennium Shaolin leader was reflected in his voice. Anyone would have been unable to overcome the intimidation of this voice and would have retreated on their own.
But the person in front of me was Cheongmyeong.
“You know very well.”
“…What did you say just now?”
He said, looking at the court with infinitely sad eyes.
“I said I knew it well. As you say, everything in this world comes with a price. So, I’d like to ask…”
Cheongmyeong paused for a moment and then smiled crookedly.
“How do you plan to pay for hurting people in the realm of volcanoes?”
Then the court glared at Cheongmyeong with an expressionless face.
“Until now, I…”
His murderous voice began to strangle Cheongmyeong.
“I have shown you much mercy.”
“….”
“But this isn’t just a problem between you and me. “If I get involved in this any more, it will be Shaolin, not me, who will be angry, and it will be Hwasan, not you, who will have to bear that anger.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes became increasingly dark.
As if driving a wedge, the court’s final words echoed through the volcano.
“I would like to ask.”
The force coming from his body was truly overwhelming.
“You volcanoes….”
“….”
“Are you really confident that you can handle Shaolin’s wrath?”
It was not an eye that looked at someone walking the same path.
It is a look that purely looks at the enemy.
It seems as if he is saying with his eyes that depending on how Cheongmyeong responds, it will be decided whether Hwasan and Shaolin will turn into enemies or not.
It was indeed a heavy question, and the answer had to be even heavier.
But Cheongmyeong still remained calm.
“Do you have the confidence to turn Shaolin into an enemy?…”
He mumbled for a moment and then smiled slightly.
“I think someone else will give that answer, not me?”
“hmm?”
That moment.
Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.
A person walked slowly and stood next to Cheongmyeong.
It was 100,000.
He glared at the court with eyes like well-honed blades.
And another person, Yu I-seol, filled the empty space next to Cheong-myeong with her characteristic expressionless face. Her expression seemed to have been washed, but her hand was on the sword at her waist.
There is no other way to show a firmer will than that.
It wasn’t just them.
Yoon Jong, who had been walking calmly, stood next to Baek Cheon, and Jogeul Yu I-seol, who was shaking her shoulders as if she was ready to rush at any moment, filled in.
Eventually, Tang Xiaoso and Baeksang’s disciples, who had been watching from afar, narrowed the distance as if surrounding the court and the legal world.
What their eyes said was clear.
“Is this what volcano means?”
the court asked. There was only one person here who could answer that question.
“I don’t know what the situation is, boss. And the lines.”
Baekcheon glanced at the two for a moment and then looked at Hyeyeon.
“But… what is certain is that whether this is right or wrong, volcanoes do not know how to abandon their comrades who fight and shed blood together.”
The court clenched its fists.
There was no shaking in Baekcheon’s voice, and his eyes were straight and unfazed.
“Even if it means turning Shaolin into an enemy, it doesn’t matter. A volcano would rather die with its comrades than abandon them and survive. “That is…”
he declared calmly.
“This is what volcanoes learned from their ancestors a hundred years ago.”
The moment Baekcheon finished speaking, Cheongmyeong suddenly looked up at the sky.
‘…execution.’
A hundred years ago. That was truly stupid.
It’s something full of regrets.
But now their descendants are mentioning what happened back then. I learned something from the past that I thought was full of regrets.
‘Maybe we…’
A small smile appears on Cheongmyeong’s lips.
‘Maybe I wasn’t that stupid.’
The court could not hide its anger and spoke through gritted teeth.
“Do you have the right to say that to me?”
“Of course, boss.”
The answer came from the mouth of someone other than Baekcheon.
“Every disciple of Huashan can represent Huashan. Because volcanoes teach that.”
“…a long writer.”
Hyeonjong soon approached and saw Hyeyeon still kneeling, and his face hardened.
“Although Monk Hyeyeon is not a disciple of Hwasan, Hwasan does not distinguish between disciples and colleagues. If you try to harm him, you will have to deal with the entire volcano.”
The moment that soft yet firm voice came out, Hyeyeon’s shoulders began to tremble.
Unable to hold back, he lowered his head and tears fell from his big eyes.
The court said, glaring at the sheep.
“Jang Mun-in… I guess Shaolin is funny.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Otherwise, how dare Shaolin get involved in punishing Shaolin’s disciples? Jang Moon-in will definitely regret this.”
“under!”
Suddenly, laughter burst out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth. The court asked with an angry face.
“…What’s funny?”
Cheongmyeong shook his head as if he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“It seems like the manager still doesn’t understand volcanoes.”
“I didn’t understand?”
There was suspicion on his face. What else is there to do but understand?
Cheongmyeong laughed out loud for a moment more and then kindly explained.
“If you don’t know, I’ll tell you, so listen carefully. Hwasan is a sect that fought against the Maninbang even when there was nothing, and even when everyone was busy begging for their lives, it fought against the Sapaeryun until the very end.”
“….”
Hearing those words, the disciples of Hwasan giggled and laughed.
“That’s not all. “You had a fight with the Demon Cult a hundred years ago, right?”
“I guess that’s what I heard?”
“…Isn’t it a tradition to be fearless at this point?”
The court could not hide its bewildered expression as it saw the disciples of Hwasan suddenly laughing among themselves.
“It’s that kind of volcano.”
At that moment, a clear voice forcibly caught his attention.
“Do you think Shaolin will become a threat again?”
“….”
“I’m sorry, but this is a sect full of crazy people who, if they don’t understand what they are doing, will fight against each other until they fall apart.”
“Hmm.”
“No, not that far.”
“…It’s going too far.”
Cheongmyeong lightly ignored the protests of other disciples.
“So, if you want to threaten, report the other person.”
The sound of the court grinding its teeth spread out eerily.
“And… I’ll tell you one thing just in case, so keep it in mind.”
Cheongmyeong’s cold eyes pierced the courtroom.
“There are sects throughout history that have dealt with Shaolin and been unharmed, but so far there has not been a single sect that has turned Hwasan into an enemy and been unscathed.”
“….”
“So stop making threats that don’t work and get out of the volcano right away. “Before my patience runs out.”
Blue veins appeared on the court’s face. At least now his face looked more like an asura from hell than a monk worshiping Buddha.
“Shaolin…”
he said softly with bloodshot eyes.
“I will not forget today’s humiliation.”
“Anyway.”
He clearly captured all of Cheongmyeong, Hyeonjong, and other Hwasan disciples as if he wanted to engrave them in his mind. And finally, after glaring at Hyeyeon who was kneeling, he turned around without saying a word.
“Bar owner!”
“let’s go!”
He turned around to let the cold wind blow, and walked away from the volcano with great strides, leading the legal world.
“Uh…”
Hyeyeon looked at the back of the court leaving her with devastated eyes. At that time, someone grabbed his shoulder.
“…Jo Jogeol Seal.”
“Why are you getting dirt on your knees? “Get up.”
“I…”
Yoonjong also smiled and grabbed Hyeyeon’s other shoulder to help her up.
“Our monk is now in big trouble. “I don’t think you can go back to Shaolin.”
“….”
Hyeyeon pursed her lips.
How on earth should I express this feeling?
“…thank you.”
No matter how much I thought about it, all I could say was this.
Baekcheon patted his shoulder without saying a word and smiled.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that I don’t worry about what happens next. But…
‘There is no reason to hesitate about what needs to be done.’
The words of Qingming and the words of King Hyeonjong establish a path in their hearts.
“If it’s not right, it’s not a volcano.”
This will be the will that Hwasan must continue.
