Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 420
A thick steel cart was loaded with wealth.
The gold was piled high like towers, and the jewels glistened brilliantly in the soft moonlight.
“Oh, my goodness, there are so many of these that I doubt we’ll be able to include them all.”
“Move it to the side of the chest, please! Then there’s space!”
“The thing that is easily broken is placed above. From above.”
Baek Cheon looked downcast at Mount Hua’s disciples, who were carrying the wealth.
‘So fun, hah.’
He was making an expression that seemed forced to conceal the curled corners of his lips.
‘At this point, who is the bandit?’
But such Baek Cheon was completely unaware that the corners of his lips were gradually rising.
And…….
“Put it straight.”
“…Ugh.”
Chung Myung was drinking alcohol while sitting cross-legged in a chair.
“Keueu.”
He looked forward and glared after wiping his mouth.
“Your waist is going down? Do you want me to fold it back?”
“No!”
The bandits were terrified and quickly raised their backs.
“Tsk, anyway.”
The sound of alcohol flowing down his throat could be heard.
The mountain bandits were now nailing their heads in a row to the floor.
“Use your abilities if you are confident. Just try it. Do whatever you want with your Dantian if you want it to run.”
“No!”
“We would never!”
Bandits screamed as they desperately supported their shaking legs.
“Phew. I’ve become a lot nicer, too. In the old days, I’d just bury them all alive.”
‘In the past, huh?’
‘Oh, I shouldn’t talk like this.’
Chung Myung, who was clicking his tongue, suddenly screamed as if he was heated up.
“No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! You bastard!”
Then, he rushed forward and kicked Gwak Kyung, who was banging his head in front of him and blew him away.
“Aaaaaak!”
Gwak Kyung, who fell and screamed, jumped up like a spring and rushed toward Chung Myung as soon as he was stuck on the ground.
Then he nailed his head to the ground and grabbed his back.
“What? What did your mouth spout? Life? Liiiiifeeee? The day has come when I hear a bandit talk about life. What? Do you want me to end that rough life comfortably now?”
“I’m sorry!”
“If you did something wrong, you should get hit!”
Chung Myung kicked Gwak Kyung again. Gwak ran like the wind again and slammed his head into the ground.
Chung Myung’s eyes turned to the pile of wealth.
“Those who are having a hard time making ends meet have collected a lot of money. You can’t trust the robbers when they start talking.”
Then Hong Dae-gwang ran into them.
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon!”
“Yes.”
“From what I’ve heard from beggars, they’ve never really killed people. It wasn’t a lie.”
“Really?”
“I am sure.”
Chung Myung nodded and looked at Gwak Kyung again. Gwak Kyung said in a voice filled with a little resentment.
“Lo- Look at that! We….”
“You?”
“I told you we didn’t kill anyone! I’m wronged!”
“Hey!”
Chung Myung kicked Gwak Kyung’s leg, knocked him over, and started stepping on it.
“No, you bastard! What the hell! What’s with your moral view? Hey, you punk! If it’s okay just because you didn’t kill anyone, it’s over, you punk! If Confucius sees you, he will break your head with The Four Books and the Five Classics. What kind of robber is talking about their job with confidence?”
Gwak Kyung, who has never opened her eyes wide and never flapped, felt very unfair. But he knew very well that making excuses now would shorten his life span.
“Where do you find proper humans make a living by robbing! They make money by working, hah!”
Chung Myung looked up. At the same time, his kick got stronger. In the end, Baek Cheon, who couldn’t bear to see it anymore, stepped up.
“Chung Myung-ah. He will die.”
“Isn’t it good if he dies?”
“…… That’s true, but, uh…….”
Back Cheon, speechless for a moment, was stunned as he tried to think of a reason.
“N- No! Hey! You shouldn’t kill people when you’re Taoist!”
“Tsk.”
Chung Myung, who had been stepping on Gwak Kyung while talking to Baek Cheon, finally stopped. And he frowned at Gwak Kyung, who was lying on the ground.
“I really lose my temper there.”
He wanted to catch them all and bury them or hand them over to the Government.
“Now, now. Calm down, Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
At that time, Hong Dae-gwang intervened tactfully and mediated.
“Still, he has never killed anyone, and apparently he has never really robbed anyone of all their belonging. This is a pretty conscientious bandit.”
“What? No, how can a bandit be conscientious? What? Do you distinguish a murderer from a murderer with a conscience and a murderer with no conscience?”
‘Uh…’
‘That’s right. That’s certainly not wrong.’
Chung Myung sighed deeply as if his fist was trembling.
“Tsk. Right, what’s the point of beating you up?”
In the first place, bandits are impossible to eradicate. Even if they sweep all of them here, new groups will soon be built in places where there has been one.
If the new group is worse than these, people may die by kicking out the bandits who are doing well.
“Get up.”
At Chung Myung’s words, the bandits got up and stood still.
“……the more I think about it, the more I get angry. Are they crazy and bandits on the island?
In the past, when Mount Hua swept Jungwon, Evil Sects forces were thin on Shaanxi. As a result, they have not been able to properly fight the bandits they must go through at least once.
“What’s your name?”
“Gwa- Gwak Kyung! Gwak Kyung, the Great Mountain Axe!”
“Great Mountain Axe my ass.”
Chung Myung growled as if he didn’t like the nickname. Then he said.
“Good luck with your business.”
“Huh?”
“I’m watching you guys. If I hear there’s a problem over here, you will all die that very day.”
“I- I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Tsk.”
Chung Myung looked at Gwak Kyung with slightly complicated eyes.
‘It’s annoying.’
It was uncomfortable to just leave them behind, and it was a pain in his heart to kill them all off.
Besides, the biggest problem was the Yuryong Sect.
From now on, the business he will do is move things worldwide. Aren’t they selling tea all over the country right now except for the Yuryong Sect?
‘I didn’t even think about it.’
Even if it’s just tea, the problem becomes bigger if the Yuryong Sect’s disciples get caught by bandits while carrying things. The value of the goods that need to be carried is great, so the compensation will have to be large.
They have quick legs, so they wouldn’t be caught, but he couldn’t be confident that there wouldn’t be a problem due to the lack of force of the Yuryong Sect.
But, how hard would it be to teach Yuryong Sect? To think he has to do one more thing at these busy times…
“Heueum.”
Chung Myung, who was slightly contemplating, nodded loudly a little later.
“Hey.”
“Yes, Daehyup!”
“Just call me Dojang.”
“Yes, Dojang!”
“Where should I go to see your boss?”
“What? Boss? Are you talking about Nokrim King?”
“……No, these bandits have not grown up as a group. Every time they gave a name, it was a tiger, a mountain, and now what? Nokrim King? What kind of bandit bastard is a king… … .”
Hong Dae-gwang grinned as he listened to Chung Myung.
“You’re a dragon, too. Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
“Did I put it on myself!”
Chung Myung shouted at Hong Dae-gwang.
His face burns whenever he hears that nickname.
“I can’t do this. I need to beat someone quickly and get a new nickname.’
He’s embarrassed to the point of dying.
“So, where do I have to go?”
“No, Nokrim King is not someone you can meet just because you want to.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Just as there is the Black Dragon King (흑룡왕(黑龍王)) wherever the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are, there is also Nokrim King wherever there are Nokrim. The one who exists everywhere and nowhere is the Nokrim King!”
“Oh…….”
Chung Myung nods as if admiring.
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
“…….”
“Are you taught to answer like that? Your head looks bad too, so you must have had difficulty memorizing I, huh?”
“……Yes, a little bit.”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
In any case, it’s so pathetic!
“There’s nothing much to say. Tell the Nokrim King or something that I want to see him.”
It was Hong Dae-gwang who was more surprised than Gwak Kyung.
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon. Nokrim King does not come and goes just because he is told to. He’s the leader of one of the forces from the Five Great Evil Sect! Five Great Evil Sect!
“If he doesn’t come, all the bandits I see will be destroyed.”
Hong Dae-gwang grabbed his face with a bewildered expression.
‘This guy’s screwed.’
He can’t understand it no matter how much he has explained it. No, it’s not that he can’t, he just doesn’t intend to understand it at all.
Cows can listen, but how do you make a wall to understand?
“I- I’ll make sure to tell him so!”
“Tsk.”
“Bu- But where are you going?”
“Why? Do you want revenge?”
“Re- Revenge!”
Gwak Kyung jumped up like a living fish that came out of the water.
“How dare I have such a dream? I just need to know where Dojang is going so that I can deliver it to Nokrim Greenrim.”
“Oh, right? Well, then come to the Yuryong Sect…….”
“Euuuaaaahh! No! No, you can’t do that! Dojaaaaang!”
‘You crazy bastard!’
Du Yuncan, the Somunju of the Yuryong Sect, who had been watching from afar, not wanting to get caught up in this situation, rushed to Chung Myung at the fastest speed he has ever had in life.
‘This lunatic’s pulling the Nokrim King into the Yuryong Sect! I’d rather die than be ruined!’
“Do- Don’t do these things at Yuryong Sect! We can’t afford such a big shot!”
“It’s just a bandit, though?”
“Never! Never! I’d rather cut my throat.”
“You’re timid.”
Chung Myung clicked his tongue.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Tell him to come to the Tang Family.”
“Tang Family? You mean that Sichuan Tang Family?”
“Is there another Tang Family?”
Gwak Kyung blinked his eyes.
The Sichuan Tang Family is a Righteous Sect.
It is also called the world’s most dangerous Righteous Sect. He can’t believe Chung Myung calls Nokrim King, the head of an Evil Sect group, to such a place.
‘I don’t know anymore.’
He can’t keep up with this human way of thinking.
“I’ll tell just that, but I don’t know if he’ll listen to what I’m saying.”
“You just have to deliver my word.”
“Yes!”
Chung Myung glanced at Gwak Kyung as if he was unsure about it and said to Baek Cheon.
“Did you pack everything?”
“I’ve put everything as you have told, but……can we really take all this away?”
“It’s okay. We left the grain. They won’t starve to death, so they won’t do evil.”
Chung Myung grinned and put his hand on Gwak Kyung’s shoulder.
“Or you can be a little evil, you know? It’s really fun to be in a relationship. I’m sure you’ll see me again in this vast Jungwon.”
“…tha- that’s never gonna happen! Never!”
“Oh, you should.”
Now, all the wealth is piled up on the cart and wrapped with a cloth. Chung Myung then nodded.
“That’s it. Now that I’m done with my business…….”
“Tha- Thanks for the hard work! Take care of yourself.”
“What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
“Wow, you’re so inconsiderate. Departure should be in the morning. Go and fetch the drink again.”
“…….”
“Hurry up.”
“……Yes.”
~~
“Take care! Dojang!”
“Have a nice trip!”
“Please stop by again!”
Red Tiger Brigade’s bandits waved desperately at the cart going down the mountain path.
However, the action and the heart could not be the same.
‘Please go fast, you dogs!’
‘What kind of scoundrels are robbing the bandits! They left us with practically nothing.’
‘Let’s not see each other again in our lives! Please!’
When the strange human-drawn cart finally disappeared far down the mountain, Im Saeng spat on the ground.
“Kaaaagh! Ptoo! Those damn bastard.”
After huffing and pointing his finger at the air, he gritted his teeth and turned his head.
“Daehyung!”
“…When the kids are around, call me Chaeju.”
“Yes, Chaeju! What are we going to do?”
“…what?”
Im Saeng distorts the face.
“It’s a dirty and horrendous experience, but now that it’s over, we have to move our bases! How do we know if that fucking bastard will come and do something evil?”
“…Im Saeng-ah.”
“Yes! Do you want me to get ready right away? I’ve got a good head.”
“…… it’s all ruined.” (진대)
“What?”
“If we move, we’ll be ruined.”
“…….”
At that moment, Im Saeng couldn’t understand the word and blinked his eyes. Gwak Kyung sighed and said again, saying, “Their footing is long gone.”
“… before the departure, they said that running away would only lead to hell. With other groups doing well on another mountain, we will only get half of what we earn now in the future.”
“N- No. What are even they able to do when we’re running away? It’s not like they’re following us around and watching us.”
“Do you know who that ragged beggar was?”
“… yes?”
“It’s a Seven Knot beggar from Beggar Union. Are you sure we can stay out of Beggar Union’s eye? Just go if you do.”
“…none.”
Gwak Kyung eventually collapsed on his spot.
“We’re completely screwed. Uhuhuk. Damn it!”
A mournful cry resounded in the quiet Seosan Mountain.
