Episode 660 What brings so many? (5)
“… … .”
The area under Cheongmyeong’s eyes trembled.
“Oh, no… … .”
His eyes were fixed on the crowd of people rushing frantically through the mountain gate.
From here, it just looks like ‘a lot of people are coming in’, but when you go out in front of the mountain gate and look down on the volcano, the procession of people coming up the hiking trail almost looks like a huge dragon climbing the mountain.
“What brings so many?”
Cheongmyeong muttered with a puzzled expression and turned his head.
I saw a long line of people already entering the volcano. After wrapping around the training hall a couple of times, the remaining line continued towards the long gate where King Hyeonjong was located.
“… … “The event hasn’t even started yet.”
“It’s natural.”
“Eh?”
The party leader next to him smiled and opened his mouth.
“Once the event actually starts, I can’t meet Jang Moon-in. “Isn’t it impossible for the people who are holding the event to greet guests from each clan and chat with them one by one?”
“That’s right.”
“So most of the clans come before the event starts and want to have a private meeting with the scholars.”
“… … “Is it still like this?”
“It’s not usually like this… … .”
The party leader smiled happily.
“It probably means that interest in Cheon Woo-maeng is that strong.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong looked at the crowd with eyes full of absurdity. No matter how you look at it, he was an incredible number of people.
‘no. ‘I did give some medicine to get a lot of people to gather.’
Even so, is it as effective as this?
“You seem to be embarrassed. Well, you wouldn’t have ever seen this many people at a volcano. But you should get used to it by now, seal. “It’s a sight I’ll see often from now on.”
You won’t see many people at the volcano! This was normal in the old volcano, you bastard!
However, this scene is a bit unfamiliar… … . uh… … .
Why?
Still, events like this must have happened many times in Hwasan back then, so why can’t I remember them? … .
“ah… … .”
At that moment, the voices of past executioners passed through Cheongmyeong’s mind.
– execution! execution! Please don’t leave the room!
– No, death penalty! Don’t do that, go over there and do some training. Didn’t I even prepare alcohol like this! Just tell me the location and I will bring the main table to you.
– execution! Jang Mun-in, please never enter the volcano!
– Even if you encounter someone passing by, do not start a fight or hit them! No, even if you defeat him, you must never maim him!
-You better go to Jongnam at least once. what? occasion? Just go, you bastard!
Cheongmyeong’s eyes turned to the distant sky.
At the time, I didn’t know this was such an important event.
As a person, you have to change your position to understand the other person’s position… … .
What if one of Hwasan’s disciples picks a fight with the guests and ends up beating them up?
Cheongmyeong would probably beat the guy to dust with his eyes rolled back and then throw him off the cliff. But didn’t the death penalty in the past have the power to beat Cheongmyeong? So, I would have just burst out inside.
‘Oh, that…’ … ‘I’m sorry.’
Cheongmyeong cleared his throat as he felt a renewed sense of shame.
“Hmm!”
And then I looked ahead again.
A crowd of people gathered in front of the newly neatly maintained Hwasan pavilions, and a few of Hwasan’s disciples and members of the Tang family were busy running around filling out the guest book and managing the people who came inside.
‘I feel strange.’
He couldn’t help but think of the time he climbed the volcano after being reborn.
The volcano he saw after entering through the crumbling mountain gate was very different from what he was familiar with.
There was no vitality, and I did not feel the Zen energy that is unique to Taoism. The buildings were on the verge of collapsing, and the faces of those guarding the volcano showed no signs of life.
How can I express in words the feeling I felt when I saw the volcano half-collapsed and turned into a ruin?
However, people are now flocking to the volcano again.
“Tsk.”
It feels strange… … .
Cheongmyeong rubbed the tip of his slightly wrinkled nose and immediately straightened his shoulders energetically.
“Everyone looks busy, so let me help out!”
And it was the moment when he was about to walk boldly towards the guests.
Kuuk.
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong turned around as someone was holding his hand, and Dangpae was holding his sleeve and smiling awkwardly.
“that… … Ah, my father said… … He said that in the future, Hwasan will have to experience many things like this, and as the head of the Cheonwoo Alliance, he will have to hold many events on his own.”
“But?”
“so… … The volcano god dragon said it would be better to check how the situation is going as a whole rather than doing small things for no reason… … .”
“… … .”
“Well, I’m saying you should step up when something big happens! When something big happens!”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes and glanced at the party flag.
Then the party member awkwardly looked the other way and turned his head to look at the distant sky.
“Did the head of the family order it?”

“… … That’s not necessarily true… … .”
“… … .”
Time has passed and the volcano has changed a lot.
However, the treatment received by Cheongmyeong did not change much from before.
‘Now, the party is under surveillance! Oh, my dear!’
Still, Cheongmyeong was proving that he had grown in his own way. In the past, I would have thought, ‘Who is this bastard watching?’ I would have shouted and broken his head on the spot, but isn’t it now just a glance?
‘I’ve become a lot nicer too.’
If we continue like this, we will soon climb the mountain, we will climb the mountain.
– You say bullshit with all your heart.
“No, but this guy!”
“yes?”
“… … no.”
Cheongmyeong took a deep breath and looked ahead. Then suddenly he tilted his head.
“But it’s strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“There are so many warriors who fight as soon as they make eye contact, but they don’t make any noise.”
“ha ha ha. “You’re kidding, right?”
“yes?”
The party leader laughed softly and said.
“Those who come here are generally people who want to leave a good impression on Huashan and Tianyu Meng. “It would be natural for such people to not be misbehaving in a place where they are having a party.”
“Oh, is that usually the case?”
“… … “What’s strange?”
“no… … . Rather than saying what’s strange… … .”
Cheongmyeong looked at the distant sky.
– No, these bastards invite people and treat them like this? Come on, let’s take the sign down today! Everybody come here, you bastards! I already feel like I’m wearing a conduit that doesn’t fit my head, but today I’m going to untie the conduit! Don’t you come here?!
“… … .”
Sorry, death penalty. I didn’t even know that… … .
Cheongmyeong quickly lowered his head before another curse was heard from the sky.
“No, but… … .”
Then his face suddenly distorted.
“There are so many guests, why hasn’t the Nanman Beast Palace arrived yet? “Is this guy walking slow just because he’s big?”
“haha… … . Isn’t the Beast Palace very far away? “I sent it to you in advance, so it will arrive in time for the main ceremony.”
“Tsk. “They said it would arrive soon.”
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue and was about to complain.
Suddenly, a loud murmur began to be heard from the mountain gate.
“huh? “Are you here?”
As I was about to crane my neck to look, someone shouted in a loud voice.
“Pangada! Hebei Paengga has arrived!”
“oh?”
Cheongmyeong was filled with resentment at the unexpected name.
“I sent an invitation, but I didn’t know you would come.”
But the problem did not end there.
“It’s Cheongseong! Cheongseong also came!”
“Isn’t it open over there? That’s right, that’s right! Opening is also coming!”
“oh! public! “Communist faction!”
Cheongmyeong also let out a series of exclamations at the familiar names heard here and there.
“The tycoons are coming.”
Dangpae grabbed Cheongmyeong’s sleeve and dragged him with a determined look on his face.
“I don’t think this is the time! “Let’s go to the mountain gate!”
“yes? why?”
“Those with a name need to be treated accordingly. There is no need for the Jangmun to personally greet the guests, but it is better for someone with a decent reputation to come forward and greet the guests. The reputation of the volcano god dragon would not be proportional. hurry!”
“Eh. plaguy.”
Cheongmyeong was dragged by the party leader towards the mountain gate with a look of annoyance on his face.
Everyone who was waiting to fill out the guest book and enter the volcano was making way for the big names. And along the open road, members of the Gupailbang and Odaesae clans entered the palace proudly.
chuck.
Cheongmyeong, standing in front of the mountain gate, straightened his back.
‘Hi!’
‘Is that gentleman from the party crazy?’
‘What are you thinking?’
Hwasan’s disciples, who were busy guiding visitors, discovered the sight and were astonished as if they were stone.
No, Cheongmyeong couldn’t push him into a corner, but he put him in a place where everyone’s eyes were focused.
‘ruined!’
‘Soo, we need to get this sorted out!’
‘Elder! ‘Where have the elders gone?’
And it was that moment.
Cheongmyeong calmly brought both hands together, took a karate stance, and slowly stretched them forward.
“Welcome to the volcano. “Thank you for your hard work to come a long way.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Baekcheon, who had turned pale, slowly opened his mouth.
The other five swords next to him also looked at the scene with a lost expression.
“… … Did you see it? “Cheongmyeong spoke like a human.”
“You didn’t even speak informally?”
“… … “Is that called ‘politeness’?”
It may have been a very natural sight to those who did not know Cheongmyeong, but everyone who knew him was jaw-dropped.
Even his posture of taking the sword was flawless. To a stranger, he would appear to be a disciple of a prestigious school who received strict teachings.
Oh, no. There’s nothing wrong with that, though.
Those who received greetings looked at Cheongmyeong with a bright expression in their eyes.
“I am Paengak (彭岳), an elder of the Paeng family. “May I ask who you are?”
“It is an honor to meet you, Elder. “My name is Cheongmyeong, the third great disciple of Hwasan.”
“oh? So, are you that volcano god dragon? “The best review index in the world?”
Cheongmyeong smiled softly and shook his head lightly.
“It’s just a lie. Hearing such words from the elder of the Paeng family made me so embarrassed that I could not raise my head.”
“haha. “As I heard, you are a talented person!”
Blue veins sprouted on Baekcheon’s fist.
“… … I’d rather make a fuss, that bastard… … .”
“No, I won’t let you open your eyes, Sasuk!”
“What did that bastard do wrong?”
As I looked at Cheongmyeong, who had suddenly transformed into a perfect noble child, I had no idea what he had done, and my stomach turned and I was so upset that I was on the verge of a fire.
‘That abominable bastard…’ … .’
I’m so glad I didn’t get into an accident, but why am I so upset?
However, despite their quiet cries, Cheongmyeong did not erase his elegant and gentle smile as if he had still painted it.
“Please eat inside. Jang Moon-in was looking forward to your visit.”
“That’s a very generous thing to say. “Then, will you help us get to know Jang Moon-in and say hello?”
“It is an honour.”
He waved his fist again and turned around.
The guests chatted quietly as they watched Cheongmyeong walk proudly.
“I heard you have a very eccentric personality… … . “I guess that’s not necessarily the case?”
“Aren’t rumors about Gangho always exaggerated in the first place?”
“I understand why volcanoes are famous. “The spirit of devotion is truly dazzling.”
“Wow… … . Kya… … .”
“huh?”
At that moment, the people following the strange noise coming from the front tilted their heads and stopped talking.
But Cheongmyeong walked on as if nothing had happened. His ears and the nape of his neck were stained red.
“Let me say hello first.”
“yes.”
Those who visited the volcano, led by Paengga, entered the mountain gate.
‘however… … .’
Paengak, who was looking around, frowned slightly.
‘Why do all the volcano disciples have faces like that?’
For some reason, their expressions were distorted to look cruel and grim. Paengak had no way of understanding so he just tilted his head.
