Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 255
The door was open, but no one dared to enter.
Tension, anxiety, and even excitement
They just stared at the open door with mixed feelings.
Hyun Young was the first to come to his senses.
“Sect Leader.”
“…Yes.”
“Shouldn’t you go in?”
“Ummm. That’s right.”
Hyun Jong cast a gloomy glance at the open door.
It’s terrifying.
He was afraid there would be nothing inside.
However, it is also impossible to back down after coming this far.
“Huup!”
Taking a deep breath, he quickly gathers his strength and moves his feet into the open door. The Elders and the Un were then summoned.
When Hyun Young saw this, he complimented Chung Myung.
“Chung Myung-ah.”
“Yes.”
“You did an excellent job. I’m extremely proud of you for severing the Everlasting Metal.”
“It’s not a big deal, really. Hehe.”
Despite his skill, he didn’t get much praise, so whenever someone complimented him, his mouth widened and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Hyun Young was followed inside by Chung Myung.
Hyun Jong, the first to enter, looked around with trembling eyes.
“This is…….”
Minimalist.
It is more like a bookshelf rather than a safe. He only sees three bookshelves.
It looks miserable and goes beyond simplicity.
However, this image seemed to convey the mindset that Mount Hua’s Sect Leader should have, so it was Hyun Jong who was nervous.
He walked over to the shelf after swallowing his dry saliva.
And…….
“Ah…….”
He came to a halt and covered his face.
“Ancestor……..Mount Hua’s ancestor! How… How can you take such good care of us?”
His body trembled as he struggled to control his emotions. Because the difficulties of the past flashed by like a flashlight.
“Se-Sect Leader, this is……!”
“O-Oh my god!”
Hyun Sang and Hyun Young’s eyes grew like lanterns as well.
“Se-Sect Leader! This is Amhyangpyo, Amhyangpyo! This is a new Mount Hua martial art method that was practiced!” (The chinese character is like. ‘Fluttering Dark Fragrance.’ It is the sword method/art/technique that Chung Myung invented after seeing Tang Bo secret art.)
“Plum blossoms! Plum Blossom, not Seven Plum!”
“Hiik! There is Nine Palace Sword here! It’s Nine Palace Sword, Sect Leader!”
Their vision was literally spinning.
Mount Hua’s martial art is housed on one bookshelf. And the majority of them had already been practiced on Mount Hua.
Advanced martial arts that were thought to be extinct are now filling the bookshelf.
Elder Hyun Sang of Mount Hua’s Martial Hall, who oversees Mount Hua’s martial arts, is on the verge of passing out.
“…this, this kind of thing.”
He muttered blankly, as if he’d gone insane.
How badly did he want it?
He’s been looking for it for how long?
Everything he desired and sought was interred here.
Hyun Young carefully took out a book instead of Hyun Jong and Hyun Sang, who did not dare to touch it.
“Oh! How can it be kept so clean! It’s like a new book. Sect Leader!”
When he heard that, Chung Myung, who was looking at the Elders in the back, flinched.
‘Oh, I forgot to cover it with dirt.’
Sweat trickled down his back.
“Ohhh, how well preserved, I can still smell the scent of ink, Sect Leader!”
‘Oh, I should have properly dried it.’
“Even… uh…… I think the letters aren’t dry enough?”
Hyun Young, too, began to tilt his head.
Chung Myung began desperately looking for a way to deal with the situation, sweating profusely.
“Is this, uh… Is this possible?”
“Hahahat.”
Suddenly, Hyun Jong burst out laughing.
“I was wondering why our ancestors made this warehouse out of Everlasting Metal, so this is what they meant. I’ve heard that an Everlasting Metal box keeps cold air inside so it doesn’t spoil what’s inside.”
“Oh! Come to think of it, I’ve heard something similar.”
“Is that why these books are so clean?”
‘No, it isn’t.’
‘Oh, no. No! That’s not it!’
‘Sect Leader, Keuh!’
‘And that is why you are Sect Leader!’
Chung Myung delighted in Hyun Jong’s words, which matched his without having him step up.
‘You’re doing it all on your own.’
‘Aigoo, these adorable things!’
It was back then.
“Se-Sect Leader! Here!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Look at this! Here!”
“Where?”
“Here!”
Hyun Young quickly indicated one side. Hyun Jong’s body, which shifted in response to the finger, hardened into a statue.
There are twenty-five books neatly arranged at the bottom.
“Do-Don’t tell me….”
The title of the book appears to be floating in the air.
Illustration of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique. (이십사수매화검법도해(二十四手梅花劍法圖解)
“Uh…….Uh……..”
Looking at the bookshelf, Hyun Jong’s face was relaxed.
Sword Technique of 24 Plum Blossoms
It’s not even the method/manual/book/instruction itself, but an illustration/diagram of it.
“Il.. il……. il…….”
“Se-Sect Leader!”
“Illustration …….Kahak!”
Finally, Hyun Jong rolled his eyes and collapsed.
“Argh! Sect Chief!”
“Get up! You should not fall here! Sect Leader, get up!”
Hyun Young, taken aback, grabbed Hyun Jong by the collar and shook his body, raising his voice. After shaking it for a long time, Hyun Jong opened his eyes wide open.
“Gasp!”
“Have a little bit of your mind…….”
“Get out of the way!”
When Hyun Jong awoke unexpectedly, he shook off Hyun Young and crawled to the bookshelf.
“Illustration! An illustration! An illustration of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique!”
It has the same impact as a person seeing food after going without for ten days. Hyun Jong trembled as if he couldn’t come to his senses as he stood right in front of the shelf, staring at it with the intent to devour it.
“So, something along these lines. This…….ho..hohoho!”
What exactly is an illustration book? (Dohaebon, 도해본)
This is an interpretation that was analyzed and explained alongside the image to make learning easier.
Because it was too difficult and time-consuming to fully explain one’s martial art, an illustration book was rarely well-made.
However, for those who had to learn martial arts without a teacher, this was more important than anything else.
“Che-Take a look! Sect Chief! Hurry!”
With trembling hands, Hyun Jong took the manual of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique at the command of Hyun Sang.
Sararak.
The first chapter, written in bold handwriting, was revealed when the cover was carefully turned over.
‘Chung Myung, the 13th generation of Mount Hua disciples, delivers to future generations.’
“Chu-Chung Myung?”
“Yes! I’ve arrived.”
“Not you, you punk!”
“…….”
‘This is me, man.’
Chung Myung appeared depressed, but Hyun Jong was uninterested in him.
Myung Chung
How many times has he called out the name?
How many times has he desired the name?
Hyun Jong couldn’t stand the emotions that rushed through him when he saw the name.
Finally, he uttered the nickname he had been holding in his heart in a trembling voice.
“Plum Blossom Sword Saint.”
Mount Hua’s Forgotten Legend
Even after suffering for so long, he was able to seize Mount Hua because of this name.
“Plu-Plum Blossom Sword Saint! Does that mean that the Plum Blossom Sword Saint himself left these Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique methods?”
Hyun Young remained close to Hyun Jong and poked his head out.
“Wha- What do you mean Chung Myung!”
His body eventually trembled as if struck by lightning.
Which Mount Hua disciple does not admire the Plum Blossom Sword Saint?
Hyun Jong tried to calm his trembling heart by reading the following words.
The Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique is the foundation and essence of Mount Hua. Each volume of this book is illustrated so that future generations can better understand the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.
In light of this example, the next generation should take a good step forward and devote themselves to it again and again. If you fully master the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique, you will not be afraid of any sword in the world.
Please keep this in mind.
The descendants will inherit the will of Mount Hua rather than the sword. In this 24 volume illustration, I embody the will of Mount Hua.
Mount Hua’s name will not fade as long as this goes on.
“I-It is really an illustration book from Plum Blossom Sword Saint! Plum Blossom Sword Saint!”
“Keuhahahat! Oh, my God! This is crazy! Hahahahahat!”
Hyun Young burst into loud laughter.
Even if there is only the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique method, Mount Hua will leave a feast, and this was even an illustration from Plum Blossom Sword Saint. Thousands of gold, no! It is one of the treasures that will not be exchanged for any amount of gold.
“It was a hundred years ago! Hahaha! What a blessing! Oh my God!”
Hyun Young rushed to Hyun Jong and took away the manual he was holding.
“Where! Where…….”
Hyun Young, who tried to turn the pages with an angry gesture, paused. Then, he frowned as if something was wrong.
“Sect Leader.”
“Hm?”
“……there is food stuck on it and hasn’t dry. It made the front and back page attached……?”
“…….”
Hyun Jong and Hyun Young look at the book with a strange look.
At the same time, cold sweat began to seep out of Chung Myung’s spine again.
‘You’re filthy meticulous, really.’
‘Let’s move on, guys. Why so detailed with it? Since when did you guys do that?’
“Well, Plum Blossom Sword Saint made this illustration book and put it right here. Maybe that’s why the food was preserved without drying up?”
“Is that so?”
“Hahaha. That’s obvious. You saying like someone was this hundred-year-old safe made of Everlasting Metal. And recently at that.”
“Is that possible? Hahahahaha!”
Sweat began to drip down the back of Chung Myung’s head.
Baek Chun, who was watching him outside the door, narrowed his eyes.
‘But why does he keep sweating since a while ago?’
Did he really have internal injuries?
That can’t be true.
It was then.
“Sect Leader!”
“What is it?”
“All handwriting is the same!”
“Huh?”
“I’ve just checked, and all the books here are written in the same handwriting. I think it’s all written by one person.”
Flinch.
Chung Myung looked at Hyun Sang with round eyes.
‘What do you know about that?’
‘No, why are you so meticulous!’
“That means……?”
“Yes! All the books here seem to have been made by the Plum Blossom Sword Saint himself!”
“Oh, Sword Saint! Such precious things!”
Hyun Jong is now starting to swim in the sea of emotion.
“Sword Saint…… the honored Sword Saint. I can’t ask for more…….”
Hyun Jong’s face loosened gently and his body began to lose strength. Hyun Young rushed in and grabbed him by the neck and shook him.
“No! This man is now trying to rise to the Heaven every now and then! Why did you rejuvenate yourself if you’re going to be like that, man! If you’re going to die, just die quickly!”
“I-I won’t die, you punk!”
Hyun Jong quickly came to his senses.
‘I think I just saw a blue and yellow cloud.’
‘I have to be careful.’
“Hahaha. It’s a red peach! It’s the red peach of Mount Hua!”
The three Elders were so happy that they were at a loss. Their mouth reached the ear, and their hips were constantly up and down.
“Sect Leader, We also…”
“Oh, yes! That’s right!”
Hyun Jong led the Elder out. Not everyone could enter the safe, so the other disciples, including the Un, were waiting outside.
When they stepped aside, the other disciples came inside.
“…Mount Hua Disperse Palm (매화산수(梅花散手))
“Sa-Sasuk! There is Taehojang too! (태허장(太虛長))”
“Moon Maiden Harmony Sword (월녀조화검(月女調和劍)).”
Just hearing the name of the manual outside alone turns his eyes.
Baek Chun, who was slightly dizzy, put his hand on the bookshelf and picked his breath.
By the way.
Kereureuk!
“Huh?”
Baek Chun’s head goes down.
“What?”
Chung Myung’s eyes bulged out at the sight.
‘N-No. Th-That!’
“Se-Sect Leader! There’s a gap here. I think there’s more space!”
‘That damn Sasuk?’
“Oh, really?”
Hyun Jong rushed back inside again.
“Oh, indeed!”
“I’ll open it completely!”
“Yes! Let’s do that.”
Chung Myung had no time to do anything about it, so the bookshelf was removed and the door under it was opened.
“Let’s go down!”
“Let’s go! Let’s hurry up and go in!”
The Elders rushed into the space below the safe.
But unfortunately, it was empty inside, and nothing could be seen.
“…I thought there must be something here.”
“Umm. It looks like a space that was created and never used.”
“It was unfortunate, but can’t be helped.”
“Yes. With what we already obtained… huh?”
Hyun Jong, who was speaking calmly, looked down as if he had found something.
“This…?”
“Yes?”
The Elders follow Hyun Jong and look down.
“What kind of circle… is there?”
“It’s round.”
“…big.”
“…….”
Hyun Young muttered with strange eyes.
“Isn’t this like someone cut and pasted it?”
“Hahahahaha!”
At that time, the Elders turned their heads to the sudden laughter. Chung Myung was laughing awkwardly with his head sticking out at the entrance.
“Who-Who’s going to stick Hancheol? Plum Blossom Sword Saint grandpa can’t do that even if he comes!”
“Is that so?”
“O-Of course!”
“Yes, that’s right. But why are you sweating so much? Are you sure your internal injuries have healed?”
“Cu-Cutting the door over and over again…..”
“Oh my my. Tsk tsk.”
While Hyun Young was worried about Chung Myung, Hyun Jong, who was still looking at the circle with a serious face, nodded as if he had finally realized it.
“I see.”
“Yes?”
Chung Myung’s eyes pop out.
‘You know what? What do you know?’
“Secretly made space and a big circle. Don’t you see? This is the noble teachings that our ancestors left us.”
“By teaching is……?”
“An empty space and an empty circle. It means that if you get enough, you must be content with it and don’t be greedy.”
“Ah! Indeed!”
“The ancestors were trying to convey the Tao to us.”
“Muryangsubul (Sort of chant? Kinda). It must mean to not forget that the main duty of Mount Hua that is not in martial art, but in the Tao. We are learning another thing like this.”
“The will of the ancestor is deeper than ever. Muryangsubul.”
Watching the Elders chanting Buddha’s name together, Chung Myung, who was relaxed all over his body, lay down on the spot.
‘To hell with Tao.’
‘At this rate, my heart will stop first.’
‘Why me!’
