Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 350
“Ughh …….”
“Ugh…….”
There had never been a defeated army like them.
No, defeated soldiers will not be this ragged when they return from the battlefield.
As he watched his family barely descend the mountain, Hyun Dang supported each other and bit his lips.
“Keuh!”
Hyun Bob, who was walking alongside him and relying on a wooden stick, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
“Keueu. Uh…..”
And for a while, he held his back and whined.
“Oh my gosh…, where in the world is such a law!”
Hyun Dang bit his lips until they bled while watching Hyun Bob screaming in anger.
“No matter how much the discipline of the sect goes upside down… it can’t be like this. It can’t be like this…”
Hyun Bob appeared to be lost in thought. It was like staring at helpless murmurs or droopy eyes.
That was enough for him to be that way.
If they had been beaten and kicked out by the Elder, they would not have felt so miserable. But threshing them is a child who would not have been born yet when they were in Mount But the one who banished them was a child who had not yet been born when they were in Mount Hua Sect.
Who can understand the feeling of being beaten and kicked out by someone less than their own grandson?
“Say something, Sahyung! You said it’s okay as long as we climbed Mount Hua!”
“Shut up!”
Hyun Dang blurted out with vigor.
Hyun Bob shrank back at the momentum.
“Damn it…”
Hyun Dang’s face was distorted like a demon.
“Those dog-like bastards… so they come out like this, huh?”
“Mount Hua is done for. There are no examples of Taoists. It’s like a bunch of thugs. I heard the public jokingly call them “Mount Hua-chae,” but isn’t that the perfect match?” (-chae means a group of bandits.)
Hyun Bob’s voice was full of resentment and anger. A blue light flashed from Hyun Dang’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and spoke softly.
“If they treat us like this, we have no choice but to treat them the same way.”
Hyun Bob swallowed dry saliva at the dreary voice.
“Is there a way?”
“…….”
Hyun Dang, who looked at the distant mountain without saying a word, said as if chewing it out.
“We going to Shaolin.”
“… Shaolin?”
Hyun Bob asked back in surprise. But Hyun Dang seemed sincere.
‘What do you mean Shaolin?’
“Shaolin was humiliated by Mount Hua. Of course, there must be a grudge against Mount Hua. So they will be able to take advantage of our situation.”
“Ah…….”
Hyun Bob nodded his head.
Surely, this situation was controversial.
In any case, aren’t they, the ones who were once elders of the sect, being beaten and kicked out by a young disciple of Mount Hua?
“If this is known to Kangho, some will criticize Mount Hua, and some will blame us. But to be honest, no one would care what happened in other sects seriously. It’s just the right snack for a drinking party.”
“That’s right.”
“But if Shaolin stands behind us, the story will be different. Shaolin has the power to make it happen. And they can use us to pressure Mount Hua.”
Hyun Bob shut his mouth.
He’s sure Shaolin has the power to do that.
But there was one thing that bothered him.
“But…… Sahyung. That way, we’ll be really hostile to Mount Hua.”
Hyun Dang glared at Hyun Bob with a blade-like stare.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“…….”
“They are the ones who abandoned us. Parents who abandon their children cannot hope for their filial piety. Why do we have to think of Mount Hua when we’re the one who was abandoned by them ?”
“Sahyung is right.”
Hyun Bob nodded loudly.
At this moment, he has given up even a hint of hesitation.
“I can’t bear to see those thugs wearing Mount Hua as their masks and running across Jianghu. I’ll put everything back in place even if the foundation stone of Mount Hua is pulled out Hua.”
Hyun Bob and Hyun Dang know the truth.
The fact that it was them who tried to use Mount Hua as a mask.
But now that things have gone this far, that means nothing. They have already arranged everything to climb Mount Hua. They couldn’t go back without any gain.
“But will Shaolin use us?”
“There’s nothing to lose for them. It’s good to ruin Mount Hua, and it’s even better to let us lead it. Above all, we have a justification.”
“Even if it’s justification…….”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a clumsy justification.”
Hyun Dang said flatly.
“That’s what justification is. Even a perfect justification can’t exert its power when it is in the hands of the weak, and even a weak justification is stronger than anything when it is in the hands of the strong. Shaolin has the power to make our justification true. ”
Hyun Bob nods his head.
“Then we should go to Seongsan right away.”
“That’s right.”
Hyun Dang turned his head and looked up at the mountain.
“Hyun Jong……and Chung Myung!”
Crunch.
Hyun Dang gritted his teeth and grabbed his face. He couldn’t stand the throbbing spot where Chung Myung beat him.
“Surely… I’ll definitely see you guys falling to hell! Definitely!”
Evil fire rose in his eyes.
Hyun Bob swallowed dry saliva at the momentum.
‘Stupid Taoist.’
They may be powerful, but in reality, they are very weak. If they are going to make a grudge against a person like this, they should have properly taken care of it.
For this reason, Hyun Bob and Hyun Bob were able to climb Mount Hua, which began to make a name for itself in the Murim Competition, without much worry. They don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but they thought they wouldn’t lose their life climbing up Mount Hua.
If they are going to let Hyun Dang’s group go, they should have sent them with a smile, and if they are going to use their hands, they should not leave any regrets.
‘Now you will feel that fact deeply.’
It was the moment when Hyun Bob was about to smile triumphantly.
“Aigoo. The mountain is really steep.”
‘Hm?’
Hyun Bob turned his head to the sudden voice.
He saw a group of people coming up the mountain path.
‘Aren’t they a beggar?’
Hyun Bob tilted his head when he saw their appearance.
Why would a beggar climb a mountain? There’s no place in this rough mountain to look out for.
A beggar and a mountain.
Is there any combination more inconsistent than this?
‘Are they going up to Mount Hua?’
No ordinary beggar will ever go to Mount Hua, then did they Beggar Union?
Even before Hyun Bob could resolve all the questions that came to his mind, the Beggar Union people that climbed the mountain path began to approach.
Feeling frightened by the sight, he kept his entire body on alert and wary of beggars.
‘The direction is…’
Walking past them.
Centered on Hyun Dang and Hyun Bob’s party, the beggars secretly split left and right and began to move on either side of them.
Like a siege.
“Why…….”
Surprised Hyun Bob turned his head left and right and looked at the beggars.
‘It’s not an ordinary beggar.’
The solid body that can be seen through the rags they wear, and the cold, sunken eyes are completely different from the beggars they see on the street.
Hyun Bob, who knew something was going wrong, was about to open his mouth.
“It must be a long way to get to Seongsan Mountain.”
“…….”
The front.
On the road where beggars came up, a man came up.
“Oh, can you go all the way to Shaolin with that body?”
‘Did they hear that?’
Hyun Bob’s eyes trembled violently.
The beggar he spoke to a while ago was a person who had no particular characteristics. Unlike those who climbed first, this beggar will melt into the street without any discomfort if placed on the street.
But there was only one out-of-place thing.
The look in his eye.
The cold, sunken eyes were so eerie that they made the eyes of the beggars ahead of him into those of a child.
“Why are you doing this?”
Hyun Dang raised his voice in bewilderment.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. We’re just going down the mountain…….”
“Hyun Dang.”
“…….”
“Name is Hwauryang. Left Mount Hua 30 years ago and settled in Honam. Although he made a group in Honam and served as a leader on the outside, it was actually a salt merchant that had been dealing with smuggling salt.”
Hyun Dang’s eyes were wide open.
“Is that right?”
“……how you…….”
“I guess I am.”
The man shrugged his shoulders.
“There are a lot of other things that we have investigated, but I don’t think there is any need to talk about it here.”
He was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
“The important thing is not who you are. You’re trying to spit on Mount Hua I’ve occupied, and now you’re trying to ruin it, right?”
Cold sweat broke out on Hyun Dang’s back.
Anyone who lives in Kangho should know one thing.
You can be hostile to anyone in the world, but you must not be hostile to beggars.
Who are the scariest people in the world?
Those who have nothing to lose.
The place where those who had nothing to lose gathered was Beggar Union.
People only look at the appearance of Beggar Union who discusses Righteousness. But how can Beggar Union created by a hundred thousand beggars be just?
Beggar Union is the most Righteous place in the world and at the same time the place where the world’s most dangerous people are gathered.
“I was going to start looking at it even if he didn’t ask for it…..”
The man raised his hand and caressed the top of his head.
“…I mean, I was even cursed at because I was unable to properly identify the people climbing Mount Hua. Me, this Hong Dae-gwang.”
Then the beggars surrounding the area giggled and began to laugh.
“These days, he seems to be cursing with his fist.”
“I think I even saw you eat with your feet?”
“Wang-cho, that looks terrible.”
“It’s noisy, you bastards!”
Hong Dae-gwang screamed and looked at the group with a funny face.
“Anyway, well. If a person makes a mistake, they should at least take care of it properly. I don’t want to disappoint that demon anymore.”
Hong Dae-gwang is smiling.
“If you go to Shaolin like this, you will only do good things to the people who follow Shaolin. But unfortunately, I’m following Mount Hua.”
His voice was full of laughter.
But to Hyun Dang and Hyun Bob, it sounded so creepy.
“Do you know what beggars hate the most?”
“…….”
“To lose our job. And now you’re trying to cut off my bread.”
Hyun Dang’s trembling eyes began to swirl around.
Creepy sharpened blades were sticking out of the sleeves of the beggars surrounding them.
A short dagger.
Sharpened iron skewers.
And a long sickle.
Then they giggled and slowly began to narrow the siege.
Hyun Dang’s group shuddered and gathered in the center. Fear began to glisten in their eyes.
“Tsk tsk. You should have looked at the people before messing around with them. You touched the devil without even a second thought. Of course, you have to pay the price.”
Hong Dae-gwang made a slight chin gesture. And the beggars rushed at Hyun Dang with creepy eyes.
* * *
“They won’t kill.”
Munch munch. Munch munch.
Chung Myung chewed the mooncake and said nonchalantly.
“Still…….”
“The beggars sometimes go too far, but they’re sensible. They won’t kill. But I’m sure they’ll scare them.”
“Heum.”
Hyun Young listened to Chung Myung with a solemn face.
“And they’ll probably be going to tie them up and throw them on the outskirts. They won’t even get close to Shaolin for the rest of their life. If they’re talented, they can go to Shaolin while avoiding the eyes of all the beggars in the world, but those old men can’t be that talented.”
Hyun Young nodded as if agreeing to the statement.
“Instead, the beggar must have been a little angry, so those old men have to bear with a scythe or being beaten with a flail.”
“…….”
Watching Chung Myung grinning, Hyun Young sighed and nodded.
“In any case, you’ve been through a lot.”
“Nah, it was just like passing by a shooting star. Tsk.”
“Beggar Union is a secret to Sect Leader.”
“Ei. I’m not a kid.”
Chung Myung chuckled. Hyun Young nodded and was lost in thought.
Those who lead the sect should not just be fair. But if there is one who shows fairness, there must be another one who knows how to use their hands in secret.
In the past, that role was up to Hyun Young.
But now…….
“Will you be all right?”
“What?”
“You’re giving too much to Mount Hua. But the honor is…….”
Chung Myung waved his hand loudly to interrupt Hyun Young’s words.
“Elder has a lot of petty worries, too. If I wanted that, I would’ve already eaten it all. Don’t Eder know me?”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
Hyun Young smiles.
“Well, why don’t we feed you some meat instead of what you didn’t eat? I’ll make you pork belly after a long time.”
“What about alcohol? Alcohol?”
“Take one of the things you brought.”
“Hehe. You knew. I thought I hid it well.”
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Hyun Young smiled in a strange mood as he saw the back of Chung Myung walking ahead.
Then he hurried his steps a little, stood next to Chung Myung, and grabbed his shoulder.
“It hurts.”
“Yes, yes.”
The smile on Hyun Young’s lips grew a little bigger.
The bright sunlight shone on the back of the two old and young men heading to the kitchen.
