Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 382

“…I feel like I’m going to die.”

“Me, too.”

Mount Hua’s disciples sighed deeply as they looked at each other, their shadows under their eyes reaching the tip of their jaws.

‘How am I going to sleep? There’s a ghost here!’

‘When the wind blows, my heart sinks.’

They’re doing their best not to care, but where would a person’s heart go?

More than five people had already witnessed the ghosts. They couldn’t help but be nervous.

“That really looks like a ghost.”

Chung Myung was unable to straighten his crooked face.

They’d been looking for the ghost’s trail for a few days, but strangely, the ghost didn’t only appear to Chung Myung.

Even though three more ghosts have been seen since Chung Bong collapsed with foam in his mouth.

“It’s not a real ghost.”

Does it make sense that Chung Myung can’t find it when other disciples could?

“…Umm. Something like this.”

Hyun Young, who sat on the bench, sighed as if he was in trouble.

“The disciples are agitated.”

“Huayin Sect’s?”

“Yes, the new kids this time…….”

“Ugh.”

At Wei Lishan’s words, Hyun Young pressed his temples as if his head was in hurt.

Who fears ghosts the most?

It is of course the children.

Even adults were horrified when it was said there was a ghost, but children could not be calm after hearing such rumors.

“I’m trying to stop the rumors, but this is true…”

“It’s better to catch something. Word and ghosts are the two things that humans cannot grasp with their hands.”

But now, it’s both that bother Huayin Sect simultaneously.

That’s why Hyun Young’s stomach is upset.

How can there be so few days to sleep?

It was then.

Bolkok!

“Elder!”

Jo-Gol, who stormed through the door, ran with a bright face.

“Don’t worry, Elder! I’ve found a solution!”

“Yes?”

Hyun Young sprang up from his seat at the unexpected remark.

“What do you mean by a solution? What did you do!”

“Keueu! I’m Jo-Gol, Jo-Gol! I’m the only one who can solve things! I’ve searched throughout Xian and brought in the bravest Wudang! Now the ghost problem will be over…….”

“Hey, you madman!”

Hyun Young hit Jo-Gol on the head with the teacup he was holding.

“Kek!”

As a result, Jo-Gol couldn’t scream long and fell like a frog on the spot.

Hyun Young screamed as he saw him twitching.

“Which Taoist Sect calls Wudang because a ghost came out! It would make more sense for Confucius to hold onto the Confucian scholar and ask them to teach some analects! I’m afraid of rumors, so send them back immediately!” (Like if Chung Myung were to stop some passer-by and ask them to teach him Plum Blossom Swordsmanship)

It was Hyun Young who didn’t realize that his hands went out before his words at some point.

“Ughh.”

Jo-Gol grabbed his head and murmured as if he was falsely accused.

“B- But we can’t figure it out.”

Hyun Young, who was speechless, paused for a moment and then sighed.

In the past, Mount Hua was also handed down Purifying Ceremony or Talisman.

Of course, since Mount Hua is a place with a strong tendency toward quickness, compared to other Taoist Sect, the power of Jwadobang (좌도방(左道房)) was weak enough to be insignificant.

However, it has indeed been passed down anyway.

However, since Magyo emerged and focused on making an action, there are no more Gyeongmyeonjusa (경면주사(鏡面朱砂)) or even Goehwangji (괴황지(槐黃紙) /Talisman) in Mount Hua.

“Hng. There was nothing related to Mystic in the recovered secret…”

Hyun Young was busy thinking, and suddenly someone cut off his worries in a cheerful voice.

“Ei! Why would we need that!”

“What?”

Chung Myung shook his head and clicked his tongue.

“What kind of unnatural phenomena (괴력난신(怪力亂神)) is this!”

‘Chung Myung-ah…….’

‘WE are the unnatural phenomena, you punk.’

‘What do you do when a guy flying in the sky with a sword says something like that?’

“No, how come people who should hunt Magyo with their eyes overturned are afraid of ghosts? Are you afraid of ghosts? I’m a hundred times more scared of people!”

“……It may be so for you, but isn’t it a problem because the disciples of the Huayin Sect are scared? I’m afraid that the new…….”

“Don’t even say such trembling words. This isn’t some kind of casting! Where did you can come in and out as you please!”

Since Chung Myung had already watched the disciples enter and leave several times, it was no good to see them like that again.

“So we should solve it quickly!”

“Ugh.”

Chung Myung scratched his head.

Up to now, most of the difficulties have been solved with a strong fist. But such a method literally won’t work on this matter.

Jo-Gol, who was watching the situation, shouted proudly.

“Now that it has come like this, shouldn’t we do that!”

“Yes?”

“Why don’t we move the entire Pavilion?” (Okay, I’m aware that I have called it hall up until before but now I will properly use Pavilion.)

“…….”

Everyone looked blankly at Jo-Gol.

“…It hasn’t even been a month since we built it.”

“We have to be cool-headed. Isn’t it a place where ghosts came out and became a waste house in the first place? Were the people who lived here the first to let go? They will definitely mobilize all possible means. How do we solve the problems they can’t solve?”

“Hmm…….”

“So I’d rather quickly abandon the Pavilion and buy a new one…….”

Then Yoon Jong smiled and grabbed Jo-Gol’s shoulder.

“Gol-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t show off your ‘rich son’ image and shut up. Before I twist your mouth.”

Yoon Jong’s voice was mixed with subtle anger.

“Anyway, this is why the son of a rich family is!”

“He doesn’t know what a waste of money is! Waste of money!”

“Don’t you dare!”

Jo-Gol shut up like a clam in the face of the torrent of criticism.

“N- No, you’re supposed to throw away the things that are called business ethics…….”

“Gol-ah.”

“Yes!”

“Shut up.”

“Yes!”

Jo-Gol quickly straightened when even Baek Chun frowned. He was clearly throwing away his opinions quickly.

Chung Myung shook his head as he saw it.

“No, in the first place, isn’t this what happened when you were all alone? Why do you keep going around alone when I’m told you guys to pair up?”

“…… I’m going to pee in the early morning, so what’s the point of taking someone with me?”

“They don’t even wake up when I tried to ask them.”

“Even so, what about Yoo-Samae?”

“Ugh.”

Chung Myung is speechless.

‘Right, definitely not like this.’

After a moment’s hesitation, he glared. As time passes, the disciples they have gathered will leave, or the only way will be to sell the Pavilion back.

But when ghosts come out of the newly built Pavilion, who will pay for it?

A haunted house where even Mount Hua’s Taoists couldn’t stand and run away!

Chung Myung looked up as if he had made up his mind.

“It can’t be helped.”

“Huh?”

“There’s no way if it’s a real ghost, so I think we should do something with the Pavilion.”

“You’re abandoning this place?”

“Then? Is there a way?”

“No, that’s….”

He stroked his chin with a very serious face.

“Jo-Gol Sahyung isn’t so wrong. You have to quickly cut what you need to cut. If the rumor goes around that we can’t solve a ghost while holding up here clumsily, the trust we got at best could be destroyed. I’d rather get out with a good excuse.”

“Do you have an excuse?”

“Well…. There are a lot of things around. Like, we need to get more disciples so we can move to a bigger Pavilion.”

“Well, I’m sure we can run away without much doubt.”

“It must be important for the disciples to get involved.”

“It’s not that difficult. Even if the rumors spread a bit, the people of Xian still believe in Huayin Sect.”

Jo-Gol pouted his mouth as the word came out to this point.

“Everyone was cursing when I said that.”

“Shut it.”

“I’ll slap your mouth!”

Jo-Gol, who had the most unfortunate expression in the world, went to the corner and squatted down. But unfortunately, no one paid attention to such him.

“Anyway.”

Chung Myung says with a frown.

“First of all, find a place to sleep right now.”

“Right from today?”

“……I think we should do that, given Sahyung, Sasuk, and the fact that the people who live here are uncomfortable with it.”

Then, everyone who couldn’t sleep well because of the ghost nodded with difficulty as the shadow went down to the tip of their chin.

But Hyun Young still seemed to be caught in something.

“It will not be easy to find a Pavilion of this size overnight.”

“Ah. No, Elder. There are plenty of Pavilion left now.”

“Huh?”

Chung Myung grinned coolly.

“There’s Pavilion from Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect who packed their things and left. It’s empty without its owner.”

“It’s not that there’s no owner, it’s that they’re gone…..”

“That’s what it is.”

Hyun Young nodded slightly absent-mindedly.

And he seriously thought that he should teach Chung Myung some common sense in the world one day.

“Is there any problem with using an empty Pavilion? If you don’t like it, come and complain.”

“Yes, if you say so, no one will come.”

‘They have to live.’

‘They.’

Chung Myung, who solved the place to sleep coolly, smacked his lips a little bit.

“I’ve never stepped down in front of an enemy in my life….. I didn’t expect to run away because of a ghost.”

“One step back for two steps forward.”

“You’re not moving forward!”

Chung Myung shouts and sighs soon after.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

He would do anything if there was an enemy in front of him and the sword could be stuck to the enemy, but now he couldn’t see the enemy and he couldn’t be sure that the sword would be stuck in the enemy.

“We can’t fight ghosts. Since it’s like this, move quickly. A man should sleep!”

“…Really?”

“What?”

“N- No.”

Baek Chun looked at Chung Myung in wonder.

“I thought you’d say, ‘Where is the one who can’t sleep because of ghosts?’”

“……I thought you’d slap us on the head and put us to sleep.”

“I thought you will torture us all day while saying we can’t sleep because we have too much energy left.”

“…….”

Chung Myung opened his mouth shaking his face.

“Do you want me to do whatever you want?”

“N- No!”

“Find it out right now!”

Everyone ran away in a hurry. Chung Myung sighed again as he looked at their back.

“Ugh. Nothing is happening.”

“What can we do? This is beyond human control.”

“Yes, first of all…… First of all, we need to calm down the new disciples. I don’t know if it’s Mount Hua, but we have to be careful with Huayin Sect.”

Chung Myung smacked his lips and looked at the Pavilion with regret.

And.

In the darkest shadow of the Pavilion created by the rising sun.

Not too far away, an unidentified eye was still watching Chung Myung’s sagging shoulders.

The night has come without fail.

Huayin Sect’s Pavilion, where all the people had left, was very eerie. The cold wind rattled the doors with a creaking sound.

Not even small animals were at the Pavilion where all of Mount Hua’s disciples had escaped.

Only the moonlight illuminated the surroundings.

How much time has passed?

Seuseuk.

Something began to wander in the dark shadows.

The movement, which was faint at first, would get a little bigger, but then something grayish began to move with the wind.

Sasak.

The hazy figure landing in the Pavilion’s middle was slightly shaken. And soon, it began to move slowly toward the largest hall in the Pavilion.

The figure stopped moving in front of the tightly closed door.

Gagak.

The large latch was neatly cut and the door opened wide. The hazy figure moved into the Hall as if it were floating.

“…….”

Seureuruk.

Entering the pavilion, the ghost shook a couple of times as if thinking about something.

But the figure shrank for a moment, and soon the floor began to be torn off.

“…Damn it.”

A dreary voice leaked out slightly.

As the wooden floor was torn off and the soil was exposed, the milky shimmer grew more and more intense. At the same time, it began to dig into the floor violently.

Chwaaak! Chwaak!

Soil and gravel were dug up instantly, creating a small mountain in the middle of the floor. The speed of digging on the floor was getting faster and faster.

It was just when the ghost dug down the floor for a long time.

“It’s something to see by living for long enough.”

The sudden voice stopped the ghost’s movement.

It began to falter with apparent shock.

“I’ve never seen a ghost digging in my life. Why? Are you going to dig the grave and go back in?”

The front door, which had been closed, opened wide and Chung Myung walked in with a grin.

“…….”

“Is it a real ghost?”

“Is that possible?”

“So what the hell is that?”

Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong, who entered the large window afterward, grinned and shut the window while Baek Chun blocked the other door.

The escape route was sealed off in an instant…….

“Who’s that?”

Chung Myung frowned as he pointed to the farthest side door.

Then Yoo Iseol herself behind the door and stuck his eyes out.

“… gho- ghosts.”

“Can’t you block properly? I’ll beat you up!”

There was a very short squeak, but anyway. Chung Myung, who completely blocked its way out, began approaching the ghost.

He grinned as he saw the raging ghost.

“I don’t know what your true identity is, but…”

The eyes became curved and twitched as if he were having fun.

“If you’re a ghost, you’ll die. If you’re a man, you’ll die!”
