Return of Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 21

Is it because of me that the volcano was smashed? (5)

"Time! How much longer are you planning to take!"

"There is a degree to which a person is shameless!"

"I've looked into the situation enough!"

Hyeonjong's face was full of water.

"I know, but..."

At that moment, the man at the back of the group quietly walked forward. As he stepped forward, everyone else shut their mouths at once and retreated to the left and right.

'Is that the captain?'

Cheongmyung's eyes lit up as he looked at the person in front of him.

This is a typical merchant behavior. A slightly chubby face and clothes adorned with expensive silk.

'You look like a lot of money.'

Spiral opened his mouth. Qingming listened quietly.

"Jang Moon-in. Have you been at peace?"

"I didn't know that Gong Rouge would come in person."

The one called Gong Rouge smiled softly.

"It makes me sad to see Jang Mun-in again because of this. He tried not to climb the volcano again if possible, but I hope you understand that there are so many people who are urging me to do something."

"I am only sorry."

Hyeonjong lightly bowed his head.

Then, Gong Rouge opened her mouth with a slightly different voice than before.

"Hana long writer. You must also understand the feelings of others. The promised date has long passed."

"Ummm."

Gong Rouge tilts his shoulders slightly. In the eyes of Qingming, the gesture could not be seen so arrogantly.

"We have already looked at the situation of the volcano several times. Even so, if you keep breaking our promises like this, it is difficult to look after them any more."

Hyungwon didn't say anything.

Although his face looked peaceful on the outside, he could see Hyeonjong's face twitching subtly in Cheongmyeong's eyes.

Of course it will.

Because, as a long-time writer of the volcano, no one in the history of long-time writers has experienced such an experience of suffering from debtors in front of the members of the family.

"If it's according to the contract, I'll have to pay the price for breaking the contract right now."

Gong Rouge shook his head with a smile on his face.

"We, too, have lived with the blessings of the volcano. We don't want to be so harsh."

"Gong Rouge!"

“We already have a lot…”

"Uh-huh."

Other merchants around them protested, but when Gong Rouge opened his mouth, he closed his mouth as if squeezed. Then he glances into his eyes.

"If you don't know grace, you are nothing but animals. Don't only think about the kindness you've given them. Doesn't everyone living in Hwaeum grow up with the blessings of Hwaeum? Don't forget your ancestors."

"Ummm."

"Yes."

Gong Rouge smiled broadly as he thought everyone understood.

"So I'm going to try to be a little more considerate. I'll give you seven days and two nights from now on. If you don't repay the loan for seven days or seven days, I'll take the price as the original contract."

"Go, gong rouge. Please wait a moment..."

"Jang Moon-in."

Gong Rouge shakes her head quietly.

"No more. My body moves money. This alone has made it as convenient as possible. If the money is not ready when I return after seven days or two, I will confiscate all the ruins of the volcano as promised."

"Bye!"

Gong Rouge turned his head at the sound that came out of nowhere. In his view, the figure of Cheongmyeong with his mouth covered comes into view.

"You looked ugly in front of a child."

Gong Rouge quietly stretches out his hand and swoops.

"That's all for today. Moonin Jang. Next time we see each other, I hope we can see each other with a smile on their faces. Then."

When Gong Rouge turned around, the merchants who followed him also turned around. Still, he did not forget to turn his head and shoot Hyeonjong.

Hyeonjong quietly raises his head and opens his mouth as he sees them passing through the prose with a majestic force.

"...heh."

A little frustrated and a little weak.

So it was a sigh that sounded heavier.

* * *

"So."

Cheongmyung had his legs crossed and his chin clenched.

"A merchant of Hwaeumhyun?"

"That's right."

"Turn it off."

Cheongmyung's head rattled back and forth. Seeing that, Doinmyeong slowly retreated back.

'I don't know what else to do. You should avoid it.'

The reason he is explaining this in front of Cheongmyeong is very simple.

The man who returned to Baekmae-gwan with great momentum summoned all the children of the shopping district and selected those who knew the state of the volcano. And finally, the person who met his criteria is the Doin-myeong.

Thanks to this, Doin-myeong is explaining the state of the volcano to Qing-myeong by squeezing out what he knows and doesn't know.

“If it’s Hwaeum-hyeon, isn’t it the name of the village under the volcano?”

Jo Geul, who was listening to Do In Myung, asked.

"Yes, the death penalty. I remember seeing it when I was peddling with my father."

“So, does that mean that Hwa-Eum has borrowed money from merchants in Hwaeum-hyeon?”

“So far…”

Doinmyeong scratched his head.

Even though it was a volcano, there was no way that the three great disciples could know all of that. At best, I can only guess based on the circumstances of the situation.

"The person named Gong Rouge is Rouge from Taehwaru, Hwaeum-hyeon. It is the largest base in Hwaeum, and I heard that he is involved in various businesses based on it. He is the best merchant in Hwaeum."

"Ummm."

“So, if the volcano had borrowed money, I think I would have borrowed it from him…”

rattle.

"Yes?"

Jogirl turned her head. Then, his face turned white.

Cheongmyung's neck was rattling like a wooden carved doll with a broken string.

"Priest! Calm down! Priest!"

"Tae, Taehwaru..."

"what's the matter?"

Seeing Cheong-myeong, who was stunned by the shock, Jo-geol was terrified.

Of course, they will not be able to understand why Qingming is doing this.

jump

As if life had suddenly returned, Qingming stood up from his seat and glared at Doinmyeong with terrifying eyes.

"Hey?"

Then, at lightning speed, he rushed to Do In-myung and grabbed him by the collar.

“Is it true that he was Rouge of Taehwaru?”

"Yeah, because it is."

"Ruju of Taehwaru is lending money to the volcano and trying to confiscate the ruins of the volcano?"

"Gee, calm down, Priest!"

"Relax? Are you telling me to calm down now?"

Hey guys! Do I really look right now?

Cheongmyung released his hand holding Doinmyung by the neck, then scratched his head and ripped it open.

"Why are you doing this, Priest?"

Chong-myeong could not answer Yoon-jong's question at all. The reason is simple.

Because I can't explain it.

because!

'Taehwaru is a volcano! crazy!'

Being a Daoin doesn't mean that he lives on grass alone. If it is a small and medium-sized clan, it may last for a while with the money it receives, but it is impossible to sustain a large clan like a volcano.

In the first place, the swordsman and samurai are only interested in getting stronger on their own, because they don't add a penny to the family's livelihood.

To feed such carnivores as a group, a huge amount of money is inevitably needed. Therefore, Hwasan had several workplaces in Hwaeum-hyeon. One of those places of business is Taehwaru.

However, the owner of the Taehwaru is saying that the owner of the Taehwaru is lending money to the volcano, and confiscating the halls of the volcano with the debt?

Words don't match

okay… … . If the front and back don't match, it must mean something is wrong somewhere!

"...the death penalty for Jo-gal."

"Yes?"

Qingming motionlessly beckons. Jo Geul approached Cheongmyeong with puzzled eyes. Cheongmyung whispered something so that only Jogeul could hear it, and Jogeul opened her eyes wide and looked at him.

"That?"

"Can you save me?"

The jogger stutters slightly.

"Ah, no. It can be saved, but..."

"Then bring it quickly."

"……really?"

"Do you think I'm joking now? Death penalty?"

"Go, I'll bring it."

Jo-Geul leaves the room with a slightly nervous face.

'What are you trying to do?'

Yoonjong watched the scene and tilted his head. Jo-Gul's reaction is not serious.

But there was no need to think too deeply. It was because Jo-Geul came back carrying something before half an hour had passed.

With a subtle face, he holds out what he holds in his hand.

'cloth?'

No, is it clothing? But why are you doing something like that out of the blue in this situation?

Cheongmyung, who was holding the clothes that Jogeul held out, tossed off the coat he was wearing without hesitation.

"Ah?"

Then, she quickly started putting on the clothes Jo-Girl had brought.

Black clothes that fit snugly... … .

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"You should ask."

"Yes?"

Qingming answered calmly.

"If you have to ask the privates anyway, there's no way they can give you a proper answer, and at least they'll tell you to stay away from the kids."

Of course not man! Because that's right!

"So, I'm asking myself!"

"Come on, wait!"

A cold sweat started to trickle down Yoon-jong's forehead.

What Qingming has done so far has been at a volcano. Therefore, although there was a lot of room for problems, somehow it was possible to rectify it. However, what we are going to do now is not just about the volcano.

'No, you have to dry it.'

If you're lucky, you might end up getting enough information, but... … .

'Is that possible!'

Qingming is, so to speak, a person without a backwardness. What you've seen so far is enough to tell. This guy must have an accident! You can hang your neck.

And if this guy goes down the mountain and has an accident, the aftermath will be out of control.

If you can't stop it here, it's Yoon Jong's responsibility. If the grown-ups of the clan find out the full story behind this guy's accident, then even his brother-in-law, Yoon Jong, won't be safe.

But how do I dry it?

If I could put it down in a few words, I would have done it already.

Yoonjong opened his mouth, sweating profusely.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Are you asking yourself?"

"What if I don't answer?"

"Aren't you going to answer me?"

Qingming tilts his head.

"Normally, I've never done that. Everyone's going to give me an answer, so they tell me to stop?"

Stop it, you idiot!

Yoonjong squeezed his hair with all his might.

"You, are you a guru?"

"Yes?"

"Yeah, you're a doin. You're a disciple of the volcano!"

I don't know why, but that guy from Qingming seemed to have some pride in following the Way and being a disciple of Hwasan. So what if I stimulate that part well?

"Doin shouldn't do that! That's why it's no different from the Black Sword Breakthrough!"

Then Qingming nodded deeply.

"Certainly that's right. Doin shouldn't do that."

Clearly, this one seemed to have worked. Yoonjong's face lit up with a ray of hope.

"That's right!"

"But the death penalty! Listen up!"

"Eh?"

"There is a saying in Buddhist texts! Killing and killing birds! When you meet a Buddha, kill the Buddha, and when you meet a monk, kill the monk!"

“……”

"So! In order to achieve the true Tao!"

The last black mask he was holding in his hand was draped over his face. Then he cried out so proudly.

"Sometimes you have to know how to break the Way!"
