Episode 607 Mountains only have meaning when you climb them. (2)
After returning to his seat, Cheongmyeong puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction and grumbled.
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, but we can at least talk.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“Oh, the elder was harsh.”
“that’s right.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong tilted his head as unexpected reactions came back.
‘Why do these people agree with what I say?’
“Sasuk?”
“haha. You understand. Since this is a meeting with a shaman, wouldn’t it be natural for the elders to be sharp?”
“No, that’s not it. Why do you keep sneaking around?”
“… … Catch it.”
“yes!”
A group of Baekcheon rushed to the left and right, holding on to Cheongmyeong’s arms. Even Hye-yeon, who was behind her, ran up and grabbed her waist, and Baek-ah, who was in her arms, jumped up and grabbed her by the neck.
“Never let him run amok. never! “The future of volcanoes is at stake.”
“Yes, Sasuk!”
“I will risk my life to stop it!”
No, but these?
Cheongmyeong said, looking to the left and right as if it were absurd.
“No, do you even think I’m going to pick a fight with them?”
“no.”
Baekcheon shook his head resolutely.
“You are not that type of person. “I guarantee it.”
“yes?”
“There is no way it will end in a fight.”
“… … .”
If I had to choose the most resolute thing in the world, it would be Baekcheon’s face.
“Be quiet before I block your mouth. “I’m serious now.”
“… … .”
Everyone cheered heartily as they watched Baekcheon silence Cheongmyeong.
‘It’s a private residence.’
‘At times like this, I’m really being needlessly trustworthy!’
I’ve experienced a lot of things and learned a lot, but the thing I’ve put the most effort into learning is how to keep that damn thing from going on a rampage.
Of course, it had little effect, and I can’t say for sure that it’s still effective.
Even at the moment they overpowered Cheongmyeong, the conversation between the elders continued.
Heo Sanja smiled.
“I am more than happy to meet you. “I call myself Heosan of the shaman.”
“It’s a volcanic phenomenon.”
“It’s the prefecture of a volcano.”
From the moment he heard the name Heo San, Hyeonyoung’s eyes became slightly different.
‘Is this Heo Sanja, Heo Dojin’s right hand man?’
There was no way they would have come this far based on their own judgment. Of course, it would be Jang Moon-in’s judgment that this many people would move. However, he sent Heo Sanja, whom he trusted the most, which probably means that Heodo Jinin’s vigilance toward Hwasan had become very strong.
“I don’t know how to express my gratitude to such a precious person for visiting this far away place.”
“What a far place. Wuhan is like a shaman’s front yard. It is said that the true spirits of Hwasan have visited, but as the owner, how can you stay in a comfortable room?”
“haha. “As a guest, I am sorry for not being able to visit the owner first.”
“Oh, I didn’t mean that. “Please do not misunderstand.”
Jo Geol quietly whispered to Yoon Jong, who was quietly listening to the conversation.
“execution.”
“huh?”
“It looks like there is a lot of sword stuck in the horse.”
“… … Be quite.”
Even though I told him to keep his mouth shut, Yoonjong was feeling the same way.
‘It’s bloody.’
Although we were talking and smiling, each word was heavy. They did not back down even an inch and tried to crush each other with words.
But on the other hand, it also meant that Hyeonyoung and Hyeonseon were maintaining their dignity against the shaman elder.
Even though that shaman’s disciples have formed a camp and are putting pressure on him.
‘Our elders… … .’
Baekcheon laughed quietly without realizing it.
It was because I felt proud while looking at that scene.
“By the way, Sasuk.”
“hmm?”
Jo Geol tilted his head and asked.
“That shaman elder is someone I saw at Geomchong before, right?”
“yes.”
“From what I remember back then, I think Cheongmyeong hung out with that guy.”
“It did.”
To be precise, we didn’t say we got along, we fought, but no matter how rough we were, it wasn’t easy to say something like that out loud in this situation.

“then… … .”
As Jo Geol hesitated, unable to say something, Cheongmyeong turned his head.
“what?”
“… … .”
“Why is the shaman elder so weak?”
“Hey, man! “When did I say that?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
Of course, Cheongmyeong was strong enough to not be called a late Jisoo back then, but he was weak enough to be incomparable to now. No matter how much he is, it takes time to regain his former inaction.
“There is no need to change your mind. Because it’s true.”
“huh?”
“That elder is not that strong.”
“… … .”
After hearing those words, Baekcheon and his party looked at Heo Sanja standing in the distance with a slightly surprised expression.
‘Not strong?’
How can someone like that become an elder representing shamans?
“It seems like everyone misunderstands.”
“huh?”
“Volcanoes are a special case. Most of the famous factions are like this. Because, unlike volcanoes, the power of noble families comes from their elders and first-generation disciples.”
“That’s right. “That’s natural.”
“no. I don’t think I understand at all… … .”
Cheongmyeong snorted.
“The power of the elders becomes the power of the sect. But do you think such elders have time to wander around without cultivating?”
“uh… … .”
That was something I had never thought about.
“Most elders are like that. I’ve already done everything there is to experience, and I’ve also experienced a fair amount of practical experience. So now you’re not just learning, you’re perfecting your own sword. “Then do you know what happens?”
“Well, well?”
“Just grab a sword and scatter across the mountain to practice swordsmanship.”
“… … .”
“Because he is an elder, he cannot be manipulated as he pleases, and when he is asked to do something outside, he shows his displeasure. “You do whatever you want, but when something really big happens in your sect, the elders are the ones who sneak up on you and tell you to do this and that.”
“… … “The evaluation is very bad.”
“As if I had seen an elder like that somewhere.”
Cheongmyeong smiled silently and looked up at the sky.
– Hey! Please do some work! Do some work! This guy called Elder is always drinking! The other disciples are running around and working with their feet swollen! What the hell are you doing, you rotten bastard!
‘Oh, I’m sorry.’
This is what Cheongmun said in the past while holding on to Cheongmyeong.
‘Did I know then?’
If I had known then that running a clan would be such a headache, I would have done my best to help Cheongmun.
… … No, to be honest, I probably did it two or three more times. Two or three times.
anyway.
“So, from the point of view of shaman Jang Mun-in, there is no one like him. Although he is not the best due to inaction, he has a reasonable reputation, is diligent, and carries out the will of Jang Mun-in reliably and faithfully. “That is an ability that is incomparably more valuable than that of strong idiots.”
In the past, Cheongmyeong would have ignored him, but now he knows. In order for a sect to grow, people like that are definitely needed.
Jo Geol said with a slightly puzzled expression.
“Oh, so you’re a great person anyway?”
“no. That’s not it. In any case, it is true that he is not strong enough for a shaman elder.”
Cheongmyeong spoke firmly.
“So, don’t just look at that nobleman and ignore the shaman’s elder.”
His eyes as he looked at Heo Sanja suddenly became sharper.
“I’m not ignoring that guy. But the real shaman elders are literally sword demons. These are people who only wield swords, except when eating and sleeping, because they want to gain the Tao with a single sword. “You can’t take it easy.”
Those who were listening quietly swallowed their dry saliva and nodded their heads.
“and… … The same goes for my first disciples.”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze turned towards the shaman’s disciples lined up neatly behind him.
“Since I didn’t get particularly good results in the shaman competition the other day, I guess I don’t think there’s anything great about being a shaman.”
“Yeah… … .”
“But it is rare for a shaman’s disciple to become famous from an early age.”
Cheongmyeong said as if chewing.
“Originally, Taoism’s martial arts becomes stronger as time passes. Unlike the martial arts of other schools that take the lead from an early age, Taoist martial arts is something that is weak at first, but accumulates and becomes a mountain. “It’s similar to a volcano, but if it’s the color of Taoism, to be honest, that side is stronger.”
“… … .”
“A shaman’s disciple becomes stronger as the time he trains accumulates. The three great disciples are insignificant, and the two great disciples barely pay for food. When you become a first generation disciple, you become a different person, and when you become an elder… … “You become a monster.”
As he spoke, Cheongmyeong’s face hardened little by little.
That slight change in facial expression made the listener feel more nervous than any words he had ever said. Baekcheon slowly opened his mouth.
“So the shaman is that strong.”
“yes.”
He nodded at Cheongmyeong’s answer.
“That’s a relief.”
“hmm?”
“You have to be at that level to be a shaman.”
“… … .”
“I tried to win with all my might, but it was meaningless because the opponent was easy. If possible, I like it to be as high as Taisan. and… … .”
A smile appeared on his beautiful lips.
“Mountains have meaning only when you climb them.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong, who was staring at him, turned his head and checked the faces of the others. He was staring at the shamans with an extremely serious face.
A smile appeared on Cheongmyeong’s lips.
“Dongryong says something nice about this subject.”
“This bastard?”
“Until there.”
At that time, Yoonjong gently raised his hand to dissuade everyone.
“First, let’s start with what the elders say.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and looked at the elders.
Meanwhile, the conversation was continuing.
“first of all.”
Heo Sanja bows his head slightly.
“Thank you for subduing the main villa, which the shaman was unable to do. “Not only the people of Wuhan, but everyone in Hubei will be grateful for the volcano.”
“This is something that a sect that reveres consultation should have done. “Don’t worry about it.”
‘Ah, death penalty.’
Hyeonyoung’s eyes twitched as she listened to Hyeonjae’s answer.
I may have just chosen an appropriate answer, but this was definitely not a good answer. Depending on what you hear, it could be said that the shaman did not know the agreement and left the main villa alone.
However, there was no significant change in Heosanja’s expression, whether he was not thinking about it or not showing it.
“It’s not just the main villa. “I heard that Hwasan’s disciples did a great job in the North Sea as well.”
“ah… … .”
Hyeonyoung’s eyes twitched once again.
What happened in the North Sea is not yet well known in this central region. Words spread through people, but there are no Chinese people in the North Sea yet, and trade centered on volcanoes is just beginning.
Nevertheless, the shaman knew this fact. I was able to realize how outstanding their information power was.
“It’s no big deal. “I just did what I had to do.”
“haha. Is that so.”
Heo Sanja grins.
“It’s not just the North Sea. Wasn’t the momentum of Hwasan so strong in Yunnan and at the Bummu competition the other day? “I respect you with all my heart.”
“Even if the volcano’s might is strong, how dare it be compared to a shaman? “Excessive courtesy is actually proportional.”
“ha ha ha. That’s not true. “The volcano is definitely in great shape these days.”
“… … .”
“So… … .”
Heo Sanja glanced back at the shaman’s disciples and said.
“Unlike Hwasan’s disciples who travel around the world, saying the world is small, it’s a shame, but our shaman’s disciples still lack insight into the world.”
“How can you say that… … .”
“Hani, what if it were like this?”
The phenomenon and Hyunyoung’s face were slightly tense as they looked at Heo Sanja.
“Anyway, aren’t the shaman and Hwasan from the same Taoist clan and the same sword? If we can learn about each other’s swords, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to expand the fog and advance to a higher level?”
The phenomenon’s face became cold.
This is a visa application.
‘This directly?’
Usually these words are not said directly.
A draw is something that determines whether you win or lose. If even a rumor spread about the result, there would be no greater embarrassment for the defeated faction.
Therefore, these matters are usually discussed secretly behind the scenes, and the results of the match are also hidden from others.
‘Isn’t this the case?’
But that’s why he was more of an outsider.
The shaman only loses some manners, but he is not a volcano. If you do not respond to the dance after hearing this, the rumor that Hwasan was scared by the shaman and ran away will spread throughout Hubei.
If that happens, all the reputation you have built will be lost. No, you may be able to protect your reputation, but it will inevitably be evaluated that volcanoes are not suitable for shamans.
‘This raccoon-like bastard…’ … .’
Hyeon-sang keenly felt why Heo Do-jin trusted Heo San-ja so much. With just a few words, doesn’t he try to push them into a corner and take away all the gains they’ve made so far?
“What do you think, Dojo?”
“… … .”
Heo San-ja asked again, but Hyeon-sang could not bear to answer.
Even at a glance, the spirit of the shaman disciples brought by Lee is unusual. If you respond to these words and are defeated… … .
It was then.
“uh? that?”
Hyeonsang’s head turned at the ominous voice he heard.
‘Why are you doing that again, Jan?’
I saw Cheongmyeong being held captive by Baekcheon’s group. He shouted, his mouth not yet sealed.
“Are you saying we want to dance now?”
“Hehehe.”
Heo Sanja burst out laughing.
It is unthinkable in shamanism for an ordinary disciple to intervene in the conversation of elders. However, Heo Sanja had already experienced what kind of person Cheongmyeong was, so he was not too embarrassed.
“That’s right, Sodojang. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“yes. That’s a good thing. however… … Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“What do you mean?”
Cheongmyeong grinned.
“It would be a shame for a shaman to challenge a volcano like that and be defeated.”
“Do, challenge?”
Heo Sanja momentarily glanced at the merchants at the Gold Line who were watching this way. Sure enough, the onlookers started whispering among themselves.
“haha. I guess I’m a human being and I’m a slut, so I have to get ahead in the world. There are also challenges from shamans all over the world. Big! “Our Jangmunin should have seen this.”
“… … .”
A look of disappointment flashed across Heo Sanja’s face for a moment.
The shaman’s disciples who were listening to the conversation in the back also had grim faces.
“I… … .”
I clenched my fists here and there, making my bones sound and the sound of teeth grinding came out.
Cheongmyeong grinned at the quietly radiating anger.
“But how can I turn this down when the volcano has a history? “We need to teach you what a real sword is and what a sword test is.”
In the end, Heo Sanja’s face turned red.
