Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 716

Episode 716 Let’s go back together. (5)

“… … “There’s no answer, really!”

Jo Geol frowned and sat down on the spot. Then Yoonjong, who was following behind him, also let out a long sigh.

“How many days is this?”

“… … Is it three days? Or four days?”

“Okay.”

Jo Geol groaned and looked around the mountain.

I searched the surroundings for over three days, but I couldn’t find any traces. I was definitely full of motivation at first, but at this point, I couldn’t help but lose strength.

“No, death penalty. I’m not doing this because I’m having a hard time and it’s annoying… … .”

“I think that’s right?”

“… … .”

An expression of worldly injustice appeared on Jo Geol’s face. Yoonjong, who was about to criticize her once more, looked at her face and slightly cleared his throat and averted his gaze.

“Hmm. then?”

“… … Honestly, what is so difficult about wandering the mountains? “I also do the training that damn guy asks me to do for a whole month.”

“Of course.”

Does this mountain have to be as rugged as a volcano? For them, who train by climbing the rugged volcano all day long, a mountain this size is no different from a back garden where children can play.

“just… … “I feel like this is all in vain.”

“Are you saying it was a waste of time?”

When Baekcheon, who was pounding the ground so hard, frowned, Jo Geol took a quick look and opened his mouth honestly.

“It’s been a hundred years. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything left.”

Baekcheon looked at him with a slightly disgruntled face and said.

“Hasn’t the secret been found?”

“Just because there is a secret doesn’t guarantee that there are other traces, right?”

“This guy!”

Yunjong tried to shout something, but Baekcheon raised his hand to stop him.

“There is nothing to criticize. “It’s not really wrong.”

“still… … .”

Baekcheon shook his head with a bitter face.

“Yes, Girl, if there were no traces left in the first place like you said, you wouldn’t be able to find anything even if you searched for ten days instead of three.”

“I mean.”

“But isn’t that something you won’t know unless you try?”

Baek Cheon looked at Jo Jie with a serious expression.

“We are now looking for traces of our ancestors. It is also about finding the remains of someone who risked his life to fight to protect future generations. “Is it really okay to say that the search was in vain after only three days of searching?”

There was a frost-like energy in those eyes, so Jo Geol flinched and lowered her head.

“They threw their only lives like stubble in an event where victory was not certain. “I understand your feelings, but that is not something I can say as someone who has received that grace.”

“… … sorry.”

“And normally you wouldn’t be the type of person to say something like that.”

Bai Qian looked at Zhao Jie quietly and asked.

“Tell me. “Why are you doing this?”

“that is… … .”

Jo Geol, who seemed to be watching, scratched her head in frustration.

“It’s a good thing if you find it. No matter how long it takes, it’s all good as long as you can find it. But what if you waste time trying to find it and can’t find it in the end?”

“… … .”

“I’m saying this because I’m afraid my insides will rot, insides… … .”

I’m not saying this for myself. Perhaps he is saying this out of concern for Cheongmyeong’s feelings.

Baekcheon slowly turned his head and looked at the mountainous terrain that he had now become quite accustomed to. A weight continued to weigh on a corner of his heart.

‘Was it too much?’

No matter how hard you search, this is ultimately a mountain. Even if all of this mountain were dug up and removed, there was no guarantee that traces from a hundred years ago would be found.

“But where did Cheongmyeong go?”

“… … “He said he was going to look for it on his own.”

“alone… … .”

Jo Geol muttered for a moment, sighed, and jumped up from his seat.

“Keuungcha!”

And then he started stabbing the floor again with the sword in his hand.

“Ugh, yes. Just find it. Damn it, I just have to find it somehow!”

Baekcheon spoke calmly as he looked at him screaming for no reason and moving forward.

“Let’s try a little harder. It’s not just because of Cheongmyeong. “If we are Hwasan’s disciples, we should at least search enough to be able to say that we did our best.”

“Yes, Sasuk.”

“Yes, Sasuk. “I’ll do my best!”

The voices of Yunjong and Dang Soso gained strength again.

Baekcheon glanced in the direction Cheongmyeong was heading towards and then started walking again.

Slurp, rippling.

A clear stream flowed continuously through the valley.

Cheongmyeong was sitting on a large rock, staring at the flowing stream with a blank face.

‘Was it excessive greed?’

Water continues to flow without looking back.

Even if this place was a valley a hundred years ago, the flowing water cannot be the same as it was a hundred years ago. In fact, it may be impossible to find traces of something that has already passed so long.

‘Cheongjin… … .’

Cheongmyeong’s eyes turned to the sky.

The sky was so clear that nothing was visible.

I’m sure we met in a dream some time ago, but I can’t remember Cheongjin’s face. She can recall it if she tries, but she can’t stop it from fading away little by little.

Cheongmyeong was just looking at the flowing stream and muttered quietly.

“It’s regret… … .”

Perhaps what he is doing now is no different from trying to catch a stream that has flowed with both hands.

What would Cheongjin say if he were watching him from afar?

Didn’t they tell you to stop doing unnecessary things and go back to the volcano and raise disciples?

Or was he nagging me that I had to somehow find the traces and return to the volcano?

Cheongmyeong thought about it and shook his head.

‘I don’t know.’

There is no way I can find the answer.

Even if he gives the answer alone, that is not what Cheongjin really said. Because the dead have no power and cannot answer.

You can’t see it with your eyes, you can’t hear it with your ears, and you can’t reach out and touch it. When I reach out my hand, all I can catch is empty space.

No matter how vividly alive it is within him, in the end, he will never be able to face it again.

Cheongmyeong thought as he watched the flowing water.

Maybe he, too, is a person who should have flowed away long ago like that water. just… … .

Jerk.

At that time, Cheongmyeong slowly turned his head at the sound of recognition coming from behind him.

The person whose eyes met stared at Cheongmyeong without saying a word. Looking at the unexpected guest, Cheongmyeong smiled without even realizing it.

“why?”

“just.”

As Cheongmyeong hesitated, momentarily at a loss as to what to answer, Yu Iseol came over to the rock he was sitting on and sat down on it.

And I looked at the flowing stream in silence for a long time. Only after a moment of silence did she open her mouth.

“… … before.”

“huh?”

Yu Iseol said without turning her head.

“We all went together. “Where my father is buried.”

Cheongmyeong nods.

“I’m glad I didn’t go alone. Because I don’t know what kind of face she would make if she went alone. “But if my father sees people around me, he’ll feel a little more at ease.”

Cheongmyeong looked at her with new eyes.

It is not common for Yu Iseol to reveal her inner feelings. And it was very unfamiliar to hear him talk so much and coherently.

But what was even stranger than that was the fact that she was now trying to comfort Cheongmyeong.

“… … My father.”

Yu Yi-seol slightly closed her eyes. The tips of long eyelashes trembled.

“I didn’t want to go back. Unless you complete martial arts. He probably didn’t want to go back until the moment he died. But in the end, I ended up contacting the volcano.”

“I guess it was because I was worried about an accident. “Because it’s my father.”

“… … “I thought so too.”

But Yu Iseol soon quietly shook her head.

“But I think I understand now. I’m sure you wanted to go back to the volcano more than you wanted to send me there. “Because I’ve missed you all my life.”

“… … .”

Yu Iseol’s face looked as emotionless as usual. However, Cheongmyeong noticed that his indifferent expression was a little different from usual.

“I thought about moving. Because it was a volcano that I wanted to return to so much. “It was something I couldn’t even think about doing when I was young, but now I can do it.”

“… … .”

“But I decided not to.”

“… … why?”

Yu Iseol slowly shook her head.

“Because it’s meaningless.”

“… … .”

A soft voice leaked out from the lips that had always been stubbornly closed.

“Father has already returned to the volcano. If I’m at the volcano, my father is at the volcano too. And if I complete the sword that my father was trying to complete, his lifetime wish will also be fulfilled.”

Cheongmyeong’s lips were tightly closed.

“Continuing means… … Because that’s what it is.”

At her words, Cheongmyeong looked at the distant sky.

‘Continuing…’ … .’

That’s probably what you want to say.

Even if he can’t find it, if Cheongmyeong continues his will, it’s no different from having already returned to Hwasan.

‘What I have to say… … .’

Cheongmyeong quietly closed his eyes.

How many times did Yu Yi-seol, who is speechless, have to think before saying these words to Cheong-myeong?

“… … “Let’s continue.”

It’s not wrong. Cheongjin was a person who thought about future volcanoes more than anyone else.

okay. So, if Cheongmyeong can continue his will again, that is okay.

Cheongmyeong finally got up and left.

There are no regrets. I can’t say I have no regrets. However, it is not possible to spend time here forever. Because he still has a lot of work to do.

“Let’s go back, accident.”

Yu Yi-seol and Cheong-myeong’s gaze met. Cheongmyeong smiled slightly at Yu Yi-seol and looked at the distant sky.

‘I’ll come back someday.’

After you finish everything you need to do, you can come back and find it.

Cheongmyeong forced himself to shake off the lingering feeling of sobbing and holding his back and continued to walk.

‘at that time… … okay. Let’s go back together then.’

However, Cheongmyeong took a few steps and suddenly stopped again.

He, who was as motionless as a stone statue, muttered very softly.

“… … volcano?”

– You probably wanted to go back to the volcano even more.

My cold fingertips were shaking.

‘You idiot… … .’

What were you thinking? What on earth were you looking for?

Where on earth did you think Cheongjin was doing?

“… … “Jina.”

– The students will learn martial arts through the level I created and create a better volcano.

– This is my way of repaying the volcano’s kindness.

Yu I-seol’s father tried to somehow complete his martial arts skills with a half-price. Because she thought it was her way of atonement for running away from the volcano.

Then what about auscultation?

What was he going to do when he realized he would never return to the volcano again?

– So, I take the most important things with me.

“ah… … .”

send it back

Even if my body couldn’t return to the volcano, I would have tried to return the secret that I had with me somehow.

But how? What can be done in the middle of this Hundred Thousand Mountains, which is no different from the Demonic Cult’s stronghold and where there are enemies everywhere… … .

Cheongmyeong’s eyes moved busily here and there.

‘What if I were Cheongjin?’

The body was wounded.

The pursuers have been shaken off to some extent, but there is no way to survive. However, if he dies in a place like this, all of his status will fall into the hands of the Demonic Cult.

then… … .

‘Hide it.’

A place where the Demonic Cult cannot be found.

and… … Where the executioners who will come looking for him someday will find him.

A place where the devils of the Demonic Cult will surely break through even if they block it, and where the executioners who will risk their lives in search of them can be found.

– If there is a death penalty, should I die?

Cheongmyeong’s hands now began to tremble like aspen trees.

The one who will never die. This person should never die.

A person who will never be defeated by the hands of those terrible demonic cults, will survive, and will come to find him someday.

“It was me… … .”

Cheongmyeong’s expression fell horribly.

“… … me… … It was. “That was me.”

His gaze shifted to the side as if fascinated.

A gently flowing mountain range under a blue sky. There was a particularly jagged peak in the middle of a series of ridges that were very different from volcanoes.

Unlike the surrounding peaks, it is a rugged mountain made up of rocks and cliffs.

okay… … . Yeah, like… … .

“… … “Cheongjin.”

Cheongmyeong walked as if possessed.

There you are. You were there.

He is my priest.
