Return of Mount Hua Sect

If you are going to do it, you have to do it right! (1)

Crackle.

Tang Gunak followed the car with a delicate touch and reached out to Cheongmyeong and Mengso.

“Is it tea?”

Cheongmyung tilted his head and shook the bottle he had brought with him.

“Do you have any alcohol?”

“… … Are you going to drink during the meeting?”

The party military music frowned as if hearing nonsense.

Then Meng-so also kicked his tongue and criticized Qing-myeong.

“Ttttttttt. You should be able to cover your seats.”

"OMG… … .”

Cheongmyeong looked at the Beast Palace Master with a slightly shocked face.

I thought that even if everyone in the world said something like that, it wouldn't be the same as Ogsu. He felt his soul was broken.

“You can drink alcohol any time, so let’s keep some for now.”

As the music of the Tang army began to play, Cheongmyeong lowered the bottle with a sad face. Tang Gunak, knowing that the expression on his face to drink alcohol was sincere, shook his head.

“Great.”

He roused the atmosphere by coughing heavily and looked at Meng So and Cheong Myung.

“Qingming seal.”

"Yes."

“Tell me.”

"Yes? Why are you doing this to me after the Lord has called you?”

Tang Gunak laughed at the generosity of Cheongmyeong.

“Bulghi, I called, but isn’t it the dojo that made this place?”

“Heh heh heh. That’s right.”

Beast Archer Meng So nodded his head loudly.

His eyes looking at Cheongmyeong were very meaningful.

“There is no difference between man and beast.”

“Is that an insult?”

"no no. It’s not like that.”

He smiled and said it was strange.

“If you live with animals for the rest of your life, you can see the characteristics of those animals. But the funny thing is that when you do that, you can see animals that look like humans too.”

Meng-so slowly turned his gaze to Tang Gun-ak.

“For example, the Tang family leader resembled a black leopard. It’s about the sharpness you see occasionally, or the high-pitchedness hidden in the slack.”

"Five?"

Tang Gunak coughed a little.

“The king is painting my face with gold.”

Hearing those words, Qingming raised his voice and his eyes twinkled.

“Then what about me? I am? tiger? Dragon?"

Meng-so looked at him for a long time and then opened his mouth.

“… … A snake?”

“… … .”

“Um, yes. A snake or a snake... … . yes, um. That would be close.”

“Do, a viper?”

When Qingming suddenly turned on the lights in his eyes, the Tang military musicians laughed and dissuaded Meng So.

“I’ll leave it as Imoogi.”

“… … Long-awaited (大蟒) Yes, it is similar.”

In the end, the unbearable Qingming screamed.

"no! If you're going to do it for a snake, I'll call you a dragon! I'm still a volcano god!"

“It’s a bit too much for a dragon… … .”

“Um, my stomach is black.”

"exactly. My stomach is very dark.”

No, these gentlemen?

I opened my eyes as best as I could, but his eyes didn't work because it was the other person.

“Am I black?”

“It’s dark.”

“Very dark.”

What?

Are you two getting along very well?

At that moment, Meng Xiu frowned slightly and said.

“That’s right. I'm glad you put an enemy on the gate. If it had flowed into Sapa, it would have been a giant in the world.”

“I sympathize.”

“No, but these yangbans are real!”

What do you think of this plum blossom sword zone cheongmyeong?

I am the person who dedicated my whole life to Myungsaek-i Domun!

execution! What do you think!

- That's a hundred times correct.

Kaak!

When Qing-ming had a seizure, Meng-so chuckled and patted his shoulder.

“Kah ha ha ha! Well, if that's true, what can you do?"

"Ah! It hurts!”

However, the smiling Mengso's eyes were slightly subdued compared to the expression on his face.

'Imoogi... … .'

Well. Can you put it into words like that?

'You just got stronger.'

When I came to Yunnan in the past, Qingming was strong. However, seeing him again after a year or so, he was flowing with a more refined and pure energy than then.

That's incredible growth.

At least among the beasts he knew, there was no suitable description of this monster. I don't know if there is a spirit creature among people.

“So let’s talk now.”

Meng-so lifted the glass in front of him and poured out his tea at once.

widely!

Then he put down the glass radically and stared at the two of them.

“Put away each other’s innocent faces.”

As Meng So's voice calmed down, Qingming calmly shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s a little difficult for the naive guru to get caught up in what the two of you are talking about.”

“It must be a black magician.”

“… … .”

this guy... … In the meantime, you have only come from Yunnan.

Qingming giggled and closed his mouth, but Meng Xiu looked at the two of them silently and opened his mouth.

“If it is difficult for the noble master and the wonderful hostess to speak out, I will do it first. Because I don’t care about face or anything like that.”

He continued without giving the two of them a chance to answer.

“As the tea trade with Sichuan resumed, money began to flow in Yunnan. Moreover, the hunger of the Yunnan people has been satisfied to some extent with the rice that Huashan has provided urgently.”

“It’s just a workaround.”

"Yes. It's an unsealed book. But even a sip of water is precious to those who die of thirst. Besides, the hack gave me time to spend my money from the trade.”

Meng Su looked at Qingming and politely bowed his head slightly.

“Thank you, Volcano God Dragon. On behalf of the Yunnan people, thank you.”

“… … Why are you like this, awkward?”

Cheongmyung coughed with a shy face. Mengso smiled at the sight.

“Anyway, seeing how much money circulates and Yunnan comes to life, I am greedy because I am a human being.”

“What kind of greed?”

“You’re asking a stupid question. I want to make the board a little bigger. And if possible, I also want to make this clumsy alliance a little stronger.”

Meng So's eyes looking at Cheongmyeong were very meaningful.

“What a dark-hearted scoundrel wants.”

“… … Well, these people keep driving people away from before.”

Meng-so smiled and turned his gaze to Tang Gun-ak.

“Of course, the current situation is very good. But as you know, Yunnan is not a very good land for farming. In the end, it is said that this situation can be maintained only when the money earned from the tea trade can be constantly exchanged for grain... … .”

Mengso had a bitter taste.

“The more reliance we have on the crops of the Middle East, the greater our risk. One day, if Jungwon suddenly insists that it will no longer sell grain, there will be chaos in Yunnan. I don't know if a person is something that he doesn't have, and when what he has is taken away, he usually gets up with even farm implements."

Tang Gunak stared at such an oath.

He is indeed a smart and clever person. It is easy to be misunderstood because of his large size and voice, but he was far from foolish.

“So, Yunnan needs a friend who will never betray her no matter what.”

The party troupe agreed and nodded his head.

“It is the same with the Sacheondangga. Mediating trade between Yunnan and Huashan, the Tang family also left a huge legacy. There is no denying that the situation is better than before.”

Then he glanced at Cheongmyeong and said.

“I wish this situation could last as long as possible. We are thinking about not only trading cars, but also increasing trade items.”

Cheongmyung, who had been silently listening to their conversation, scratched his cheek.

'Good.'

The key is money.

In the last war against the Magician, he saw too much and suffered too much. When a truly urgent situation comes, people will eventually pursue Lee Moon.

It is completely unbelievable for soft things such as agreement and loyalty. Isn't it the way to know ten roads under water, but one way to not know about people?

In order to create an unchanging relationship, it is also necessary to create a situation that is mutually beneficial. Just as now, Hwasan, Danga, and Beast Palace are intertwined as one medium of the tea trade.

“But you are still doing well. what are you doing here... … .”

Hearing Qingming's words, I looked at Qingming as if mangso and Tanggunak were strange at the same time.

“That’s why it’s like a serpent.”

"Yes?"

“It’s clunky.”

“… … .”

When Qingming quietly closed his mouth, Meng So laughed.

“Volcano Divine Dragon.”

"Yes."

“Didn’t I say that it was the only place for us? If you don't believe in us yet, I don't know, if you do, then just take out what's inside."

“… … .”

Cheongmyung, who had his mouth open to say something, looked into their eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

"It's good."

And he nodded as if he liked it.

Of course, it wouldn't have been bad to lead Qingming from the start. But if possible, I hoped that they would start first. If we confirm that we are of the same mind, it will be easier to talk after that.

“Then, before I say anything… … .”

"Well?"

Cheongmyung looked at the two with searching eyes and asked.

“Do you two believe in volcanoes?”

“I believe.”

“I don’t believe in volcanoes.”

This time, the two answers were different. The answer Cheongmyeong wanted did not come out of Tang Gunak's mouth.

However, without having to ask Qingming again, Tang Gunak quickly opened his mouth again.

“I believe in you, not volcanoes.”

“… … .”

Tang Gunak's eyes sank so seriously that it was heavy. Qingming shrugged his shoulders.

“What is it like? Because I am a follower of the will of the volcano.”

“Isn’t it the other way around?”

“… … It just goes by.”

Qingming erased the smile from his face.

“As you know, things are not going so well right now. The Sapas began to move, and the Shaolin lost its influence. Even the five generations of benefactors, who were self-respecting, are slowly starting to stretch out.”

“There will be a collision soon.”

"Yes."

Qingming nodded his head. This is just too natural.

“At a time like this, things can happen that one clan alone cannot handle. Then we have to unite with the credible sects.”

“Is it a union of three factions?”

“More certainty.”

Qingming said firmly.

“The answer is found in the words of the Lord Dangga. My lord believes in me. But I don't believe in volcanoes. Even us are like this, but it is arrogant to believe that the disciples of the volcano or the family members of the Tang family will trust each other.”

“… … exactly."

“The same goes for the Beast Palace. The Beast Palace has a liking for the volcano, but it is only a favor for the volcano of the past, and the Tang family is on a rather bad side.”

"Yes."

Surely this is correct.

“No matter how much I say things like being friends or having a good relationship, it doesn’t feel right to them. The best way is to create a tangible, visible relationship.”

“So that we can feel that we are part of a family?”

"Yes."

Qingming has already experienced it once in the past. Even the bastards who didn't want to look so bad became friends when they united to face the magic. They turn their backs on each other and fight.

To make each other feel like family, it is important to belong together in one place first.

“I am blind.”

“It’s better to be certain if possible!”

Tang Gunak looked at Cheongmyeong with a slightly suspicious look.

“Qingming seal.”

"Yes?"

“That’s a good thing. But I don't feel like that's all your intentions are."

“… … .”

“Is that really all?”

Instead of answering the question right away, Qingming looked at Jungwon's map hanging on the wall. And smiled softly.

“It’s an old file room and five generations… … .”

"Well?"

“I’m going to press it all down and make a new plate. I’m tired of a world where Shaolin can help, shaman pretends to be good, and Namgung puts pressure on his shoulders.”

“… … .”

“We are going to increase our strength starting from the western part of the midfield. Ultimately, the ultimate goal is to bring control of the midfield here.”

"haha."

Tang Gunak let out a big laugh.

Press Shaolin? Shaman and Namgung?

It was a bizarre, absurd idea.

In the meantime, many sects in Jungwon tried to outdo them. It was just a battle for rank under the established system, and there was no intention to completely crush them and create a new system.

But not from any other clan, but from the mouth of the once ruined volcano... … .

“Do you really think that is possible?”

"Yes."

Qingming answered with the utmost firmness.

“Is there any reason not to?”

“Ah ha ha ha ha! no No!”

Meng-so nodded his head broadly as if he liked Qing-ming's words.

“A man should have that kind of distribution.”

“It’s not something you can do with deployment alone.”

"therefore. Is the head of the party going to fall out?”

Tang Gunak sighed at the provocation of Meng So.

“I can’t, but… … .”

And then, he stared straight into the blue sky.

After such a brief silence, he finally nodded his head.

“You are paying the price for having one wrong friend.”

"no way. It’s good to make good friends.”

“I really wish I could.”

No long words were needed.

Tang Gunak and Meng So must have painted similar paintings since they first gathered here. This was just a place for Cheongmyung to confirm that fact.

Qingming lifted the bottle that had been lying on the floor. Then, he poured alcohol into the empty mug of Mengso.

squeaky.

Tang Gunak drank the tea from the cup at once and offered it to Cheongmyeong. Cheongmyung, who even poured alcohol into the glass, handed over the bottle and held out his glass.

squeaky.

Finally, the three of them raised their glasses at the same time.

“A new world will come.”

"no."

Qingming shrugged his shoulders.

“The new world does not come, it is created. We will make it.”

The two of them looked at him blankly.

I wanted to see you again.

The world that the dark Imoogi will draw anew.

“Well then, our… … .”

“Oh, wait!”

At that moment, Tang Gunak stopped Meng Su's words.

“But if you make an alliance, who will become the master? Still, a corporation must have a head.”

Mengso bursts into waves.

“What are you worrying about? That’s obvious!”

And he exclaimed proudly.

“Of course the Beast Palace!”

“Dangga!”

"volcano!"

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The three eyes were intertwined in the air. It seemed that even a spark was going to burst from where their eyes met.

As an individual, it was possible to make concessions, but as the head of a clan, it was absolutely impossible to make concessions.

“The Beast Palace is the biggest.”

“The danga is the strongest.”

“Still, there is a history, a volcano.”

The faces of the three men contorted at the same time.

“These midfielders! Of course, the Beast Palace should be the leader!”

“… … After giving away half penny gangs, it makes no sense to come out here.”

“Originally, Domun is in charge of this kind of position! It’s not just a place to reveal money!”

As soon as Qingming finished speaking, the other two shook their heads and shouted.

“Money is what you reveal the most!”

“Yeah, the most revealing!”

“… … No, but what about these gentlemen?”

Later, the first formation of the Western Union, which would bring a new flow in Kangho's history, was creaking from the beginning.
