Episode 714 Let’s go back together. (3)
“No, what kind of mountain is this…” … .”
Sometimes there are mountains like that. When viewed from afar, the height is not that great, so it feels formidable, but once you get inside, the mountain has countless peaks, deep valleys, and protruding bumps here and there, forming a mountain whose end you can’t guess.
“What is this?”
“That’s why it’s 100,000 generations.”
Yunjong looked around and spoke calmly.
“The reason why the Demonic Cult used Hibmandaesan Mountain as its base is that it is far away from the center of the martial arts in the central plains, but also because the mountain is so deep and wide that it is not easy to find those hiding in it.”
“ah.”
“This is only the beginning of Hundred Thousand Mountains, but looking at the mountain’s appearance, I can see why it has become a battleground that will decide the fate of the central plains.”
Listening to Yunjong’s words, Jo Geol looked at the mountain with new eyes.
A fierce battle took place not far from here, with the fate of the central region at stake.
The final match between Magyo, centered on Cheonma, and Jungwon, centered on Hwasan.
“Daesanhyeolsa… … .”
“okay.”
Yunjong nodded. A voice with a deep resonance flowed from his mouth.
“Time makes us forget many things. But there are some things you should never forget. “We are able to live as we do now because of the people who risked their lives there and fought.”
“… … .”
“We must not forget that the ancestors of volcanoes rested here. “No disciple of Hwasan must forget this.”
Jo Geol nodded quietly and quietly closed her eyes.
‘It’s unfamiliar.’
The mountain terrain here is very different from that of a volcano.
Although the volcano’s mountain slopes are steep and high, it has a straight topography that hides nothing. However, although the mountain slopes here are gentle, I kept getting the feeling that something was hidden deep inside.
For those who have lived in volcanoes, this place was very unfamiliar.
‘In a place like this… … .’
How did those who risked their lives feel as they fought in this unfamiliar land?
They must have known that they could not return alive. Nevertheless, what kind of determination was it to throw away one’s life like stubble without a moment of hesitation?
It was difficult to even imagine.
“… … “I don’t know, death penalty.”
Yoonjong grinned as if he knew what Jogeol meant.
“We’ll find out someday.”
And he, too, calmly scanned the black mountain ridge with his eyes.
“Let’s hurry. “If you’re lazy, Cheongmyeong will come after you with a sword in his mouth.”
“I wish it were that way.”
Jo Geol pouted her mouth.
“Anyway, that bastard is the best in the world at turning people upside down. He was usually so mean and harassed people, but now… … .”
Jo Geol could not continue speaking and just let out a deep sigh.
‘It’s better to just do the damn thing.’
It was so awkward to see Cheongmyeong being silent. It was even more unbearable to face Cheongmyeong’s expressionless face.
Still, my stomach twisted because I couldn’t even hit it properly.
“So we have to find it as quickly as possible.”
“… … .”
“do not worry. “I’m not the type of person to be swayed that easily.”
Jo Geol nodded slightly and looked around with slightly harsh eyes.
“Let’s take a quick look.”
“So then.”
Yunjong sighed softly as he watched Jogeol go ahead, stabbing the ground with the sheath of his sword.
Cheongmyeong’s condition is so bad that even Jo Geol is worried.
‘I don’t know.’
Sometimes Yoonjong felt like Cheongmyeong was a man made of steel.
Before meeting Cheongmyeong, Yoonjong was just a person who stayed in his place, avoided things he didn’t like, and waited for the problems that came his way to pass.
To him, Cheongmyeong, who moves forward by destroying everything, sometimes seemed too extreme, and at other times, he was a dazzling person because of that.
However, in the past few days, Yoonjong felt as if he had glimpsed the inner skin of Cheongmyeong, whose body was made of steel.
“… … Damn you.”
Yoonjong shook his head and stabbed the floor hard with his sword sheath.

“Who could it be?”
“huh?”
I looked back at the Dangsoso where Yu Yi-seol was following.
“The person I’m looking for now.”
Tang Xiaoxiao’s face looked darker than usual.
“Graves or remains… … . Since you said that, it must be a person, but what does it have to do with the Qingming execution?”
Yu Iseol stared upward silently for a moment. A small voice came out of her mouth as she saw the night sky in her eyes.
“Chin-in.”
“… … .”
“It must be a relative.”
She seemed to know. What is that expression?
Yu Iseol also encountered a similar expression on my face a long time ago whenever she saw Tokyo.
A friend I had no choice but to lose because I had no power.

“But it was a hundred years ago…” … .”
“I do not know.”
Yu Iseol shook her head.
“What you need to know is that you need to find it. certainly.”
There was a strong determination in that voice.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at her with new eyes.
Yu Iseol is not a person who usually expresses her opinions. All she had in her mind was her desire to become stronger and her sense of duty to protect the volcano.
‘It’s my first time seeing it.’
The sight of her showing such enthusiasm for other people’s work was also unfamiliar to Dang So-so, who was with her almost all the time.
“We must find it, right?”
“huh.”
“Well, then the Cheongmyeong execution will return to normal. Fussing, swearing, getting angry… … .”
Tang Soso’s words became blurred. I wondered if returning to business as usual was really a good thing. At that time, Yu Yi-seol’s voice interrupted Tang So-so’s thoughts.
“no.”
“… … yes?”
Yu Iseol suddenly stopped moving.
“Come back. Even if I can’t find it.”
“… … .”
“Come back no problem. “As usual.”
“… … accident.”
Yu Yi-seol’s eyes frowned ever so slightly.
“So you have to find it. “I don’t want to see that.”
Tang Soso seemed to know what Yu Iseol meant.
If it’s Cheongmyeong, no matter what regrets remain inside, it will eventually return to its normal state. However, that means that only the exterior will return to its original state, which does not mean that everything inside will be the same as before.
‘It’s the same as the past…’ … .’
I once again wondered how much I knew about the person named Cheongmyeong.
Monstrous inaction, ridiculous decisiveness, violent and extreme, yet meticulous and delicate at the same time.
But can we say that we know Cheongmyeong well just by looking at it like that?
Tang Soso thought that Yu Yi-seol was the person whose intentions were the most difficult to guess in Hwasan. She is someone who is extremely careful about what she says, and because of that, you often have to guess what she is thinking.
But now that I think about it, the person who is even more clueless is Cheongmyeong.
Contrary to Yui Seol, he talks non-stop, but it is rare for his true feelings to be revealed.
If Yu Yi-seol hides herself with silence, Cheong-myeong is a person who obscures her true intentions with numerous words and actions.
“As for the accident, do you know what Cheongmyeong’s brother is thinking inside?”
Tang Soso was curious. I wonder if people who don’t reveal their true feelings have anything in common.
“no.”
But the answer she received was different from what she expected.
“… … okay.”
“however.”
“yes?”
Yu Yi-seol quietly closed her mouth and then glanced back at Tang So-so.
“Should I know? “Do you really need it?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know what’s inside, but I’m serious. “It’s my business.”
The clouds cleared for a moment and the moonlight appeared brightly. The corner of Tang Xiaoxiao’s mouth softly curved as he looked blankly at Yu Yi-seol standing below him.
“me too! Me too, accident!”
“huh. you also.”
The dangsoso that was attached to Yu Yi-seol’s back held her in a charming manner and stretched out. Yui Seol stumbled behind her with her expressionless face.
“Be sure to find it! “We will definitely find it and tell that guy that we found it and give him a treat.”
“An expensive one.”
“yes! “An expensive one.”
“It’s very expensive. “Because he’s rich.”
“yes! A very expensive one!”
The two stabbed their swords as if delicately tracing the floor.
‘I must find it.’
In Tang Soso’s eyes, there was a strong resolve.
The same goes for Yu Yi-seol, but Tang So-so did not want to see Cheong-myeong return to the volcano with slumped shoulders. Because it doesn’t suit me very much.
‘Don’t worry, damn death penalty. ‘I’ll find it somehow.’
* * *
I’ve had this strange feeling several times.
That was the moment when I suddenly felt something unfamiliar about that guy’s not-so-big back.
However, the times when Baek-cheon felt unfamiliar with Cheongmyeong’s back was usually when he was dealing with an enemy or standing in front of Baek-cheon.
Every time, Baekcheon had to feel a depth in him that was not appropriate for his age. And because of that appearance, he was able to whip himself even more.
But now… … .
‘I don’t know how to explain it.’
small?
No, it’s not like that. But what can I say… … .
Baekcheon, who was trying to find the right words to say, finally let out a soft sigh.
In the first place, trying to explain in words what I felt while looking at that back felt futile.
Phew.
The sword of Cheongmyeong had already pierced the floor several times.
Cheongmyeong, who was looking down, slowly cast his gaze towards the distant mountain ridge. The sight of him silently looking at the towering peaks gave Baekcheon a strange sense of discomfort.
“How do you feel?”
I didn’t open my mouth because I wanted to ask something in particular.
If I just stayed still, the distance between me and him would grow endlessly and eventually become distant, so it was almost like I screamed without realizing it.
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong turned his head and looked at Baekcheon.
It didn’t look any different from usual. She didn’t have the dark face she showed on the way here, she just had an expressionless face.
However, the face continued to feel different and unfamiliar. Baekcheon briefly wondered if it was because he was oversensitive.
Qingming asked again.
“what?”
“… … “Can you find it?”
“I don’t know.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled at the question he barely got out.
“I’m trying, but… … .”
Then he scratched the back of his head.
“You can tell by the condition of the book, it’s been at least a hundred years. “What’s even more strange is that there’s still something left.”
“… … “Do you think this is Eugene, the person who participated in the Daesan Hyeolsa?”
“Maybe so.”
Baekcheon, who was staring at Cheongmyeong, nodded.
“okay. I get it. Still, let’s find more.”
As Baekcheon started hitting the floor again, this time Cheongmyeong asked him.
“Sasuk.”
“huh?”
“Aren’t you asking?”
“… … what?”
Cheongmyeong looked at Baekcheon with a sullen expression, as if he had some free time now.
“I’m sure you have a lot of questions.”
“There are a lot.”
“But why don’t you ask?”
“Because there’s no need to ask.”
“… … “What does that mean?”
When Cheongmyeong spoke grumblingly, Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders.
“If it’s something worth explaining, I’ll do it.”
“… … .”
“If it’s something I can’t explain, I won’t do it.”
“… … .”
“But why am I urging you? “It’s up to you.”
“No, but being a person is… … .”
“it’s okay.”
Baekcheon shook his head, cutting his waist.
“When you have time and can explain, then explain.”
“… … .”
“instead.”
“huh?”
“If you’re going to lie, just don’t explain. Because it’s okay.”
Cheongmyeong stared at Baekcheon in silence. Baekcheon didn’t back down at all, but looked at him and said.
“And don’t be mistaken.”
“huh?”
“This is your job, but it’s also my job as the great disciple of Hwasan. “Finding our ancestor Eugene and recovering his remains is a task that is incomparably more important than anything else.”
“… … .”
“I am doing what I have to do as a disciple of Hwasan. So if you’re going to bother me, do it later. “I’m busy right now.”
After finishing speaking, Baekcheon passed by Cheongmyeong and walked up to the front. A hollow smile appeared on Cheongmyeong’s lips as he looked blankly at the strong back.
“On the topic of Dongryong.”
Before his eyes, Hundred Thousand Mountains was still crouching darkly. Cheongmyeong kept looking towards that place.
At that time, Baekcheon looked back.
“Come quickly.”
“… … .”
“What are you doing?”
“… … no.”
Cheongmyeong slightly clenched his fist without realizing it.
– Come quickly.
It’s nothing.
but… … If only he in the past could have said those meaningless words.
If so… … .
Cheongmyeong bowed his head slightly and took steps towards Baekcheon, who was ahead of him.
