Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 385
“Hngggg.”
Anyone could hear a muffled sound.
However, none of the listeners were able to truly enjoy the situation.
“So this is…….”
Chung Myung’s fingertips glowed with a small child’s fist-sized object. When the green object, which appeared to be carved from jade, was illuminated, it emitted a different color.
“That…….”
Gye Hyung, who had been restless all along, crept toward Chung Myung in response.
“Gi- Give it back…….”
“Stop moving.”
Flinch.
“Back off.”
Gye Hyung took a step back as soon as the words were finished.
“Sit down.”
Chack.
“Hand…….”
“Hey, you crazy bastard!”
Ppoong!
Baek Chun kicked Chung Myung as he ran in. Chung Myung flew like a ball and landed on the floor after spinning around in the air. Then he screamed and frowned.
“What!”
“Are you training mutts?! You bastard! There are things people can do and things they can’t!”
“It’s funny.”
“Ugh, this guy is really…….”
Baek Chun scratched his chin and turned to face Gye Hyung.
‘How did this happen?’
They feel sorry for Gye Hyung, who is slumped in despair with the face of a loyalist who has lost his country.
Things in the world are twisted to varying degrees.
That devil, of all things, took the Sect Leader Decree.
This terrible event could not be described with the word “disaster.”
The disciples of Mount Hua, who had unconsciously contributed to the disaster, groaned with guilt.
“Huhuhuhu.”
But whether or not he knew how they felt, Chung Myung just smirked at the Sect Leader Decree in his hand.
‘What’s this?’
Sect Leader Decree.
It’s funny that a piece of stone symbolizes the sect’s authority, but…… what can they do? That’s the reality.
‘This is all because of people’s problems.’
All kinds of tests and steady evaluations. And even Sect Leader that has been selected and picked through decades of personality tests often turn their eyes as soon as the person who blocks them disappears. It’s even common.
It’s not certain whether it’s a place where Elders can somehow rip off the Sect Leader, like Mount Hua, but the authority of most sects, especially the smaller ones, tends to be chewed up by the Elders.
Then, eventually, the absolute power that cannot be checked will flood almost inevitably.
It is the Sect Leader Decree that is created to prevent that situation.
Most of them are items that prevent the Sect Leader from letting go of reason by placing someone in places where they can keep a check on the Sect Leader, such as the retired Elder… … . (the Senate in Tang Family. About to use Great Elder but it was a term of its own so I was confused as of now.)
‘The intention is good. Intention.’
But isn’t it an old human habit to use things made with good intentions for bad intentions?
Whatever the purpose of the creation, you can get the right to escape from the life and death of a particular sect and disciples just by holding this object.
In other words, it is a ‘treasure’ that gives unconditional power.
So, in the end, the Sect Leader of each sect is in possession of it.
And the treasure of the Yuryong Sect was now in Chung Myung’s hands.
“Well.”
Chung Myung smacked his lips.
“It’s good to get a Sect Leader Decree… It’s not from any sect, is there anything else in the safe house that can make money other than this?”
Listening to the sound of a clicking tongue, Gye Hyung looked at Chung Myung with a face as if the world had collapsed.
‘It’s like a human who won’t even use that beggar’s footwrap.’
‘What?’
‘What do you do after obtaining someone’s sect’s Sect Leader Degree? ‘
‘Money?’
‘Moneeeey?’
‘The Heaven is being indifferent, too.’
What the hell did Yuryong Sect do to have this ordeal down upon them?
Although he pretends to be a ghost, not many people have lived as well as the Yuryong Sect.
The saying that living a good life brings blessings is a lie.
“So.”
“……Yes.”
Chung Myung waved the Sect Leader Decree with one hand and asked Gye Hyung.
“Are you feeling wronged?”
“…….”
‘Do I have to say that? Do I?’
“But there’s nothing to be upset about. If you look at it, it’s your fault that you didn’t manage Sect Leader Decree after putting this in such a place. In the right words, which sect manages Sect Leader Decree in such a way?”
Nokokbuljang, the Sect Leader Decree of Shaolin, is not separated from the hands of Shaolin’s Bangjan even for a moment.
When the head of Shaolin puts down the green jade, he keeps it in Dharma-dong (Dharma Cave), the deepest part of Shaolin, and keeps the surrounding area guarded.
Since he failed to properly manage the Sect Leader Decree in a place with no escort, this is not something to blame for just being taken away.
“…there was a circumstance.”
“Of course there is. And now the Sect Leader Decree is needed again, right?”
“That’s right.”
Gye Hyung nodded with a despondent look as if he had let go of everything.
“Well, there’s no reason for me to know that.”
Chung Myung held Sect Leader Decree in his hand and shook it in front of Gye Hyung’s eyes as if teasing.
“What are you gonna do?”
“…Yes?”
“I’ve been through a lot, but it’s hard to give it back for free, can I?”
Gye Hyung opened his eyes wide. His face brightened.
Give it back?
Still, it seems that the devil was not a real devil. He’s still going to give it back!
However, the hope that filled his heart disappeared like a bubble as soon as Chung Myung’s next words came out.
“How much do you want to pay?”
“…what?”
“How much will you give me?”
“…….”
Chung Myung pointed to a deep-cut hole in his chin.
“How much labor did we put into digging this? They’re not good-looking, but they’re actually very high-end workers.”
“What a good look.”
“How handsome you are!”
“How can you say that with your face when we have Baek Chun Sasuk?”
There was an instant rush of criticism, but Chung Myung heard it with one ear and let it out through the other.
“Look, I’m also a Taoist who worships Yuanyi Tianzun (원시천존(元始天尊)). My conscience won’t let me just gulp down other’s Sect Leader Decree.”
“Conscience? Did he just say conscience with his own mouth?”
“No way, Sasuk. How can such nonsense ever happen? I’m sure you heard it wrong.”
“These bastards since before….?”
Chung Myung glared, but the disciples were just sticking their bellies out.
‘What? What?’
Their faces said.
“…….”
‘Oh, their heads got too thick.’
‘Just wait…….’
‘Anyway.’
“So.”
Chung Myung smiled as he looked at Gye Hyung.
“How much do you want to pay? If it’s a reasonable amount, I can send you a good one.”
“…money?”
“Yes.”
“It’s… it’s really embarrassing to tell you, but…”
“Huh?”
“Now I’m sure Yuryong Sect is poorer than Beggar Union now.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung tilted his head at the unexpected remark.
“Does that make sense? A sect with the best Lighness Art and the best stealth skills under Heaven doesn’t have money? They’ll make a lot of money just by stealing!”
“We don’t steal things!”
Gye Hyung screamed as if he was falsely accused.
“When the Yuryong Sect was in full swing, there were people who accused us of everything they’ve lost in Kangho, so if one of us steals, they’ll get killed.”
“……Ah.”
That’s a sad story, but…….
“No, then why do you dress up like that and act like a ghost!”
“Ho- How can you do that with martial arts!”
“If you dress and act like that, even Confucius will doubt you first!”
“Tha- That’s unfair.”
Gye Hyung protested and beat his chest as if it was really unfair.
“We’re living a pretty clean life. But of all things, they accuse Yuryong Sect because of this kind of martial arts!”
“…….”
“Appearance is not everything!”
“…. I’m sure some people still won’t accuse you.”
“But Sodojang said a while ago that we’d make a fortune by stealing!”
“Uh… I’m sorry.”
The flinched Chung Myung apologized straight away.
“……so does the word society! Our Yuryong Sect has never caused any harm to anyone before. We helped someone in need! But even when we die, people don’t see us as Righteous faction.”
Gye Hyung hung his shoulders with a face as if he was being hit by alcohol.
“Cheer up.”
“It turned out they were good people.”
“Chung Myung is the bad guy.”
“Noisy!”
Chung Myung screamed and looked at Gye Hyung.
“Does that make any sense? How can we make food after we leave the Lightness Art?”
“Of course, your Lightness Art is unparalleled.”
“Right! So that’s…”
“But it’s only useful if someone leaves it to you.”
“…….”
“They accused us of thieves even when though we didn’t do anything, would there be anyone who’d entrust us with jobs? I’m not leaving the fish to the cat.”
“…….”
It’s weird.
Why are his eyes so cold?
As he listened, it felt like he was listening to the story of Mount Hua, which had been ruined in the past, so he felt immersed in the emotion.
“So you don’t have money?”
“……I don’t even have money to eat. We were already a poor sect, but there were some problems in the process of selecting a new Munju. The former Munju died suddenly without deciding on one of the two successors.”
“A war broke out.”
“……… it’s not that big of a scale, but it’s kind of vague to say war……. Anyway, there was a big fight. The fight is finally over.”
“So you’re here to retrieve the Sect Leader Decree?”
“Yes. If Sect Leader Decree shows up before the results are out, other problems may arise.”
“Hmm.”
Chung Myung looked at Shadowless Ghost Gye Hyung with a slightly complicated face.
“You’re not lying, are you?”
“I’m telling you, we’re trying to keep Justice. I’ve recently picked up some meat from this kitchen because I’m so hungry…….”
“… I’ll forgive you.”
“Thank you.”
Chung Myung smacked his lips.
‘You can’t live without money.’
He thought he asked the right number, but haven’t they been through so much trouble?
And to persecute them…….
‘It’s strangely naive.’
In fact, he didn’t make a big mistake. He just pretended to be a ghost. Has he ever attacked a disciple of Huayin or Mount Hua Sect who are alone?
Of course, he jumped at Chung Myung, but… he didn’t even get a single punch through but was beaten with excitement, so that’s not a mistake.
As a result…….
‘This is also a wild apricot.’ (Something that looks good only on the outside.)
Chung Myung smacked his lips while looking at the Sect Leader Decree.
What the hell do you use the Sect Leader Decree of the moneyless sect for?
It’s not that they’re strong either. Once he knew them, they were terrible except for Lightness Art. That’s why there’s no money…….
“Wait.”
Chung Myung suddenly raised his head and looked at Gye Hyung.
Flinch.
Seeing his eyes blazing, Gye Hyung shrank back at the heat.
“You want to make money, do you?”
“Of course. No place in the world hates money. No matter how much martial arts comes first, you can learn martial arts only when you have enough money. You know that, don’t you?”
“Hooh…….”
Chung Myung was busy rolling his head and nodding.
‘You’re saying that the sect, who has the best Lightness Art in the world, lives in poverty because they don’t have the means to make money?’
Soon after, Chung Myung had a smile on his mouth.
“Hey.”
“…Yes?”
“How long does it take to bring this to your Munju?”
“…To be exact, the seat of Munju is empty right now, and the new Munju will be elected if the Sect Leader Decree is recovered.”
“Yes, I see, I see. So how long would it take for that new Munju to come all the way here?”
“That’s…….”
Gye Hyung seemed a little worried and quickly answered.
“It won’t take ten days at the latest.”
“Good!”
Chung Myung nods loudly.
“Go and tell him to come in person if he wants to get Sect Leader Decree back. You come with him too.”
“… Do- Dojang-nim! If I go back like this, I’ll be beaten to death!”
“It’s all right, it’s all right. If you go and say this word, you won’t be beaten to death.”
“…a word?”
Chung Myung nodded loudly.
“I’ll make you a fortune, so ask him to work with me.”
“…a lot of money……?”
“Oh, it’s not just money. It’s a lot of money.”
Chung Myung giggled and began to laugh at the still oblivious Gye Hyung.
Those who don’t know are bound to turn their eyes in front of money. Wasn’t Chung Myung just like that?
‘It was about time we started expanding our business.’
– We can deliver it throughout Jungwon within 10 days. I’ll bring it to you like a ghost.
‘This works!’
‘It’ll definitely work!’
Sect Leader Decree, who just looked like a pretty stone a while ago, is now starting to look like a gold ball.
“Yuryong (Ghost Phantom) Pyoguk (Express?). Kekekkek. I think this will be really good. Hehehehe!”
All of Mount Hua’s disciples were nervous as they saw Chung Myung laughing alone about something good.
‘What else is he going to do?’
‘Please live like a human being, Chung Myung.’
When Chung Myung does something, isn’t Baek Chun and his companions always taking over the task?
Everyone sighed deeply at the foreboding that suffering would begin again.
