Episode 857 Because the volcano will become stronger. (2)
“Off… … .”
“Uh… … .”
“… … eww… … .”
Dying groans came out from the mouths of the volcano disciples spread out in the training hall.
All of them are spread out on the floor.
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong, who was the only one standing alone, looked up at the sky. I slowly narrowed my eyebrows as I looked at the black night sky.
If all went according to plan, the training should have ended around sunset.
Cheongmyeong, who was standing with a strange expression on his face, looked at the executioners spread out on the floor. The sound of him clicking his tongue resonated loudly.
“It was a long way away. long time!”
“… … .”
“So when will I get stronger?”
“… … .”
“Recover your body by tomorrow. “I will go stronger tomorrow.”
After saying those words, he left the training ground without looking back.
Hwasan’s disciples, who were watching Cheongmyeong go away with blank eyes, struggled to get up one by one.
“Ugh… … .”
“Okay. “It hurts so bad.”
The hand that was on the floor was shaking like an aspen.
Even the simple task of raising my upper body was difficult enough to make me out of breath. Some couldn’t even dare to get up at all, and some managed to get up and then fell down again several times.
but… … .
“Sometimes I get upset. “Often.”
“Giggle, giggle, giggle.”
“Did you see that bastard’s face, that one?”
“You said you were about to die?”
The disciples at the volcano were giggling and laughing with swollen faces. Everyone even asks, ‘Does he really have facial expressions?’ Yui Seol, who was expressionless enough to make you wonder, also giggled with her eyes wide open.
one.
In the end, the only thing they succeeded today was Yunjong’s one attack. After that, I ran at him with all my might, but I only got hit hard.
However, no one felt defeated or regretful. Because we know that what happens once will definitely happen twice.
Baekcheon, who was lying on the floor without the strength to even lift a finger, looking at the moon in the sky, clenched his fist with all his might.
‘It’s narrowing down.’
I can endure as much hardship as I want. As long as you are confident that you are moving forward.
Haven’t they already painfully experienced that what’s really difficult is when the distance widens even though you try your hardest.
“execution. Are you okay?”
The white elephant approached him and held out his hand. Baekcheon held his hands together and struggled to sit up.
The disciples who were sitting up first were all looking at him. It was as if he was telling me to say something.
Baekcheon took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“it’s tough.”
“… … .”
“But it’s not as difficult as it was then. This is nothing compared to not being able to do anything and just watching the death penalty fight in front of you. “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right, death penalty!”
“yes! Sasuk!”
Baekcheon nodded.
“I was confident today. If we can overcome this training, we will definitely become stronger. And then you will never have to experience such humiliation again.”
The executioners nodded slowly. Baekcheon grinned.
“Tomorrow I will slit that bastard’s head. “Don’t touch anyone.”
“Mine.”
“No, I picked it!”
Hwasan’s disciples, who were engaged in a heated argument, giggled and laughed at the same time.
After laughing for a while, everyone lay down on the spot. I laughed so hard that I lost the strength to even stand upright.
‘To the accommodation… … ‘I have to go.’
Likewise, Baekcheon, lying down on the training ground, looked at the sky with blank eyes. The moon is strangely bright today.
‘I will become stronger.’
And someday… … .
Baekcheon’s eyes, which were staring blankly at the moon, slowly closed. And soon, most of those lying down in the training ground fell into a sleep that felt like death.
After a while, several people cautiously approached them, who were smiling and sleeping soundly.
“Okay. They too… … .”
“Be quite.”
Hyeonsang gave Ungeom a stern warning and ordered him to do so.
“Be careful not to wake the kids and move them to the dormitory.”
“yes.”
“For children with a lot of muscle tension and children with deep internal injuries, we interrogate them.”
“Yes, Elder.”
Unam sighed deeply.
“You look bad today too.”
“I know you were asleep during the day, brother.”
“That’s John.”

Hyeonjong, who held Baekcheon, quietly looked down at her sleeping face. His face was messed up and stretched out like a corpse, but his expression looked relaxed.
‘… … Guys.’
Strength naturally went into the hand I held.
“Let’s move quickly. “The night wind is cold.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
The elders and Unza boats, who placed the disciples in Baekmaegwan, began moving around and taking care of the disciples. King Hyeonjong was also busy and left Baekmae Pavilion only when his hands were empty.
Standing at the main gate of Baekmaegwan, he looked up at the sky in silence.
“What are you thinking?”
In response to Hyeonyoung’s question that followed, Hyeonjong spoke softly without turning his gaze.
“That’s what I thought.”
“What are your thoughts?”
“I thought the moon must be lonely.”
A glimpse of loneliness flashed through King Hyeonjong’s eyes as he looked at the bright moon rising in the sky.
“Even a traveler walking at night can avoid getting lost thanks to the moonlight, and I am very grateful to the moon. But isn’t that grateful moon floating alone in the dark night sky to illuminate the world?”
“A long writer… … .”
“It might be a very lonely thing to help someone.”
Hyunjong’s fingertips trembled slightly as he leaned behind him.
Hyeonyoung, who was looking at his back, smiled and opened her mouth.
“That’s not true, Jang Mun-in.”
“… … hmm?”
“Why is the moon lonely? “There are so many stars.”
Just then, the clouds cleared, and the stars that filled the sky came into King Hyeonjong’s eyes.
“Of course the moon and stars are different. But that doesn’t mean they can’t float together, right? “The moon will be comforted by the stars, and the stars will be comforted by the moon.”
“… … .”
“And aren’t we looking at the moon here? so… … At least you won’t be lonely.”
Hyeonjong quietly grabbed the hand that was behind his back.
“… … I see.”
“… … .”
“then… … .”
Hyeonjong’s voice trembled slightly.
“okay… … . “That would be nice.”
* * *
“eww… … .”
Cheongmyeong grabbed his shoulders and groaned.
“… … Damn them.”
Without any exaggeration, there is no pain.
Of course, I only got properly beaten once today. However, in an unmanned fight, it is not just about whether the sword touches or not. In a fight where sword energy is generated and swung, the flesh is crushed and the inside is shaken only by the energy waves.
I repeated the battle between sword energy and sword energy from before sunrise until dawn, and my whole body hurt as if it had been crushed.
‘It’s like that time. There are only cuts… … .’
Cheongmyeong quietly closed his eyes, recalling memories of an old war that he didn’t even want to think about. In the past, I would have tried to shake off the memory by shaking my head, but I don’t have to anymore.
Because if you don’t face it, you can’t move forward.
‘not there yet.’
All of this training is being done to make them stronger. But that’s not all. If it was just to make them stronger, there would have been another way.
The important thing is for the volcano to become stronger. And of course, Cheongmyeong is included in that volcano.
I realized it again.
That he too is a member of the volcano.
If you truly want to make the volcano strong, you should not stand back and lead your descendants, but you must also become strong together as a member of the volcano.
More than before, even more so than before!
The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth curled up.
‘Anyway, really.’
These are little things, but they are somewhat helpful.
No, to be honest, it’s incredibly helpful.
The reason is simple.
No matter where he goes in the world, there won’t be more than a hundred fierce, murderous people running at him. Just like that, no matter how many times you knock it down, it won’t be able to get up and attack you again.
This kind of training was not possible even on volcanoes in the past.
A practice that would have been meaningless if Huashan’s disciples had not reached the same level as they are now. It is a practice that has finally gained meaning.
Although they spoke harshly and laughed at him, the Hwasan disciples who rushed at him in unison posed a definite threat to him. So much so that it reminds me of the war of the past, even if just for a moment.
Thanks to this, Cheongmyeong is quickly regaining its old sense of humor. The feeling he felt at the time when he was at his sharpest.
however… … .
“You’re saying you’re getting stronger faster than me?”
Cheongmyeong rubbed his side.
The dull pain left by Yunjong’s wooden sword still remains in his side.
Even Qingming actually doubted whether they could really do it. I just had to do it, so I did it silently. But the pain he was feeling in his side was constantly whispering to him that he could definitely do it.
“On the subject of babies.”
Cheongmyeong remembered each of their faces and laughed.
I keep looking forward to it.
If only everyone could endure this grueling training with an incredible tenacity that would even distort Cheongmyeong’s expectations.
How strong will they become?
And if he can endure them until the end, how much closer can he get to his past self?
“Anyway, they are absurd people.”
A subtle sense of anticipation and pleasant fulfillment enveloped my entire body.
“Tsk.”
Cheongmyeong lay down on the spot.
“Ouch. ouch. oh my.”
As soon as I hit the floor, I felt a throbbing pain in my back.
My body complained of pain, but my mind felt at ease. Much more so than when I was trying to bring even a little bit of benefit to the volcano by trying to think about it here and there.
therefore… … .
“Stop making such a pitiful face, damned death penalty.”
Cheongmyeong looks up at the sky.
“I will definitely make the volcano stronger. We’re going to make sure no one dies. And to be honest, there is nothing we can do about the death penalty now. “I’m weak and fall into it.”
Qingming grinned.
“You don’t know about the death penalty. “How does it feel to watch those chicks stubbornly trying to follow me at any cost?”
He spoke in a whisper as he looked at the moon shining softly on him.
“Now I know one thing more than the death penalty.”
I still miss you a lot.
The longing for the old volcano still remained deep within him.
but… … .
“Now those guys are really awesome too, aren’t they?”
Cheongmyeong stretched out his hand while lying down and pretended to hold a bow. And he leisurely pulled the string in the air with his other hand.
“Shuung.”
Cheongmyeong smiled as he pretended to shoot an arrow at the moon.
“Now I’m not saying we’re going to make the volcano like it used to be.”
Because that can’t be possible.
“Instead, I will make a volcano even greater than before, so watch over it carefully.”
Cheongmyeong slowly closes his eyes.
The wind blowing from the mountain passes by my shoulders. A lot of time has passed and people have changed, but the wind blowing from the volcano has not changed.
‘The volcano… … ‘Because I will become stronger.’
Soon, low breathing sounds regularly escaped Cheongmyeong’s lips.
Sassy liquid. Sassy liquid.
A soft smile appeared on Cheongmyeong’s face as he fell asleep from exhaustion.
A soft smile that he had never seen before when he was called Plum Blossom Sword Zone.
As he fell into a deep sleep, the scent of plum blossoms flowing from somewhere gently embraced him.
When the darkness disappears, the sun rises, and when the sun sets, the moon rises again.
After the end of spring, summer approaches, and winter returns again. The seasons cycle.
Just like that, time went by like running water.
