Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 141. You and Me, Let's Work Together. (1)

Proofread : Ying

"Hmm."

Jin Hyun trembled slightly at the low sound that came into his ear and carefully raised his head.

A Taoist sits in front of him.

A neatly combed hair.

His face was red like jujube and a long black beard down to his navel.

This man in front of him with an appearance that can be said to be the incarnation of General Guan Yu is Heo Dojin, the Sect Leader of Wudang Sect.

Heo Dojin closed his eyes and was immersed in thought before slowly opening his eyes.

"Did you say Mu Jin lost?"

"Yes, I am, Sect Leader."

"And to the third-class disciples of Mount Hua?"

"Yes."

"Hmm."

It's not easy to tell what he's thinking right now just by looking at his expressionless face.

"Mount Hua Divine Dragon. The rumor was true. If even Southern Edge Sect's second-class disciple has been cut down, it wouldn't be strange for him to do something like that."

Jin Hyun slightly bit his lips.

He wants to say that Wudang and Southern Edge Sect are different, but he is not in a position to open his mouth. Wudang was also in the same position since they were brutally defeated by Mount Hua.

"Where is Mu Jin?"

"I’m taking him to the Medicine Hall because of his deep injury."

"The injuries are deep...…."

Heo Dojin nodded still.

"Jin Hyun."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Do you know why this happened?"

"……Because this disciple is weak."

"No."

Jin Hyun raised his head slightly.

Heo Dojin explained to him, who could not ask back and expressed doubts only with his eyes.

"It is because of the characteristics of Wudang’s martial art. The more you learn the martial arts of Wudang, the stronger you become. The deeper internal strength, the greater the enlightenment, and the longer you train the sword, the greater the power grows."

"That's right."

"It's not easy to win with a sword that only has potential in the future. It's not easy to win until you have accumulated strength. I can assure you, if Mujin had learned the martial arts of other sects rather than Wudang, he would not have been defeated by that Mount Hua Divine Dragon."

Jin Hyun bowed his head deeply.

Even if it's true, it can't be said. It's an insult to Wudang. Even if it is wrong, it cannot be said that it is wrong. Because it comes from the mouth of Sect Leader.

"Do you understand, Jin Hyun?"

"It is difficult for this disciple to understand."

"That's why we need Immortal Medicine's platform."

"Oh...."

Jin Hyun nodded.

With Immortal Medicine pill refinement method that is superior to Wudang’s Purple Night Pill, Wudang's martial arts shortcoming could be filled. If so, Wudang will be able to rise to the top of the world.

There were two meanings to telling the story that Jin Hyun clearly knew again.

One was the reaffirm the purpose, and the other was to reprimand Jin Hyun, who returned without completing the important task properly.

"Please forgive me, Sect Leader."

"It's not your fault."

Heo Dojin brushed off his beard quietly.

"I expected the Mount Hua Divine Dragon to come in personally. But I didn't think he was strong enough to beat Mu Jin. I thought we could deal with the Mount Hua Divine Dragon, but my judgment was wrong."

"Forgive me."

He could only say that.

"Well, how was it? What about Mount Hua Divine Dragon that you saw with your own eyes?"

"……."

Jin Hyun bit his lips.

How else should he explain it? The ridiculous one?

There were countless things he wanted to say, but in the end, there was only one thing that came out of Jin Hyun' mouth.

"……He's a monster."

Heo Dojin's eyes become heavy.

"Mount Hua's other disciples were also strong. I'm ashamed, but even this disciple couldn't stand against them. But…… the Mount Hua Divine Dragon is another level away from them. The other disciples were just strong, but there was a huge wall separating us with Mount Hua Divine Dragon."

"Well……."

A heavy sigh comes out of Heo Dojin again.

‘Is it that bad?'

It's shocking that Mu Jin lost to Chung Myung of Mount Hua. But Jin Hyun's assessment now meant that Chung Myung wasn't just that much.

'Jin Hyun, this kid is stronger than Mu Jin if they were of the same generation.'

As time goes by and he reaches Mu Jin's age, Jin Hyun can be twice as strong as Mu Jin. Such a child feels a wall against Chung Myung?

'Wudang of future generations may be crushed by Mount Hua.'

This was a very serious matter.

"Jin Hyun-ah."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Will you be able to go again?"

Jin Hyun raised his head and looks at Heo Dojin.

“Is this disciple worthy of it?”

"You certainly made a mistake."

"……."

"So I'll give you a chance to make up for that mistake. The preparations for those leaving for Namyung are almost completed. This time, the elders will go personally. As soon as you're ready, go back to Namyung. And excavate the Sword Tomb."

"This disciple will surely succeed and come back...…."

"My words are not over yet."

Jin Hyun closed his mouth tightly.

Heo Dojin's voice, which had been lowered even further, penetrated into his ears.

"Mount Hua Divine Dragon is probably stamping his feet now, unable to interpret the map. And if he's smart, he'll wait for us to come. Then you'll see the right time to take the refinement method."

"Oh...."

"If Sword Tomb is in the form I expected...What's going on in there will never be known to anyone outside."

Jin Hyun's eyes slightly shook.

‘Don't tell me...’

"I think you know what I mean. You make up for your mistakes."

Jin Hyun clenched his fist tightly.

"This disciple..."

And a cold light shines in his determined eyes.

"Will definitely come back after completing the mission."

* * *

Nakyang. (Also say Luoyan, but since it was a place name, I will faithful with the raw pronunciation)

Hong Dae-gwang, the head of the Beggar Union in Nakyang branches, yawned with his legs up on the desk. (Mtl says Bunta. I changed it to Branch Leader, the raw is 분타)

"Hoamzz.”

Wiping his lips with a dirty sleeve, he picked up a report on the desk with his sullen eyes.

"There's nothing interesting going on these days."

Because it's peaceful.

There have been no major incidents in Murim in recent years. In a good way, it is easygoing and in a bad way, the obvious days continue.

It was the same with Nakyang, so Hong Dae-gwang, the head of Beggar Union in Nakyang branch, was just wasting time.

‘I shouldn't have taken the head branch position.'

There's nothing much to do and there's nothing else to do.

There were a lot of things in the world that had to be dealt with, no matter how small. It's not a big deal if you don't deal with it right now, but it's become a problem if he keeps piling them up.

It was Hong Dae-gwang's role to deal with such things so as not to be pushed back.

"Isn't there a case going on?"

Then he'll be able to get out of this boring Head Branch Office.

It's just a hut that's falling down he picked up somewhere, but it's called a Head Branch Office.

"Let's see……."

The report he is reading now was a list of information asked by beggars.

The beggars of Nakyang watch and listen to all kinds of things while they go around. When someone tells the beggars of the branch what they see and hear, the beggar will organize the information and report it to Hong Dae-gwang.

It was Hong Dae-gwang's job today to sort out any useful information in the report.

"Let's see. Nakseongnu is ruined. It's a shame, the food there was good. The owner was so kind that he accepted beggar well. Well, isn’t that why they ruined?"

He throws a sheet of the report he had been looking at on the floor.

"There was a dispute between the Nakyang Seonghwa-gwan and Jungbo, and the disciples had a fistfight. Seonghwa-gwan won and five of the disciples of Jungbo were carried to the medical center...Should I categorize this as Murim's work?"

The report is placed next to the desk.

"Choi from downtown gave birth to four twins... These are now done."

Hong Dae-gwang crumpled the paper in his hand and threw it to the floor.

"Well, there's no proper information……."

Hong Dae-gwang, who opened the new report, read the contents with a glaring eye.

"Wudang's disciples were defeated by Mount Hua's disciples in Namyung."

Hong Dae-gwang smirks.

"Now they’re talking bullshit. This bastard is crazy."

Hong Dae-gwang, who dropped the paper on the floor, began reading the next report.

"In place of Namyung Huayin Sect and Jongdogwan, there was a fight between the disciple of Mount Hua and Wudang. Mount Hua wins and Jongdogwan withdraws from Namyung."

Hong Dae-gwang straightens his waist.

'Wait. Is this real?'

His hands began to speed up. Hong Dae-gwang's eyes begin to tremble as he picks up all the reports with similar content and reads them quickly, picking up the reports he threw on the floor and reading them again.

"The great disciple of Mount Hua defeated the great disciple Wudang?"

He can't believe it at all.

However, there are too many same reports. Summing up the report, it is said that all the people of Namyung watched the disciples of Mount Hua beat the disciples of Wudang...

'A lot of people can't lie to each other, can they?'

Then it really means that Mount Hua's disciples defeated Wudang's disciples. The result is clear just by looking at the fact that Jongdogwan has left Namyeong and Huayin Sect remains.

"Hmmm."

Hong Dae-gwang's head began to spin fast.

‘This is unusual.'

Mount Hua has already defeated Southern Edge Sect. At that time, it became a hot topic for Murim, but since then, things have not spread much because Mount Hua and Southern Edge Sect have kept silent and did not make any significant moves.

But now Mount Hua has defeated even the Wudang.

'Once could be a coincidence. But there is no such thing as two coincidences!'

That means Mount Hua's rising stars is several times stronger than the public's evaluation. Then...

‘Does that mean Mount Hua might revive after a little while?'

If true, this is a big event.

Hasn't Mount Hua already been kicked out of the Ten Great Sect? If such sect gains power again, Murim's sphere of influence is bound to be twisted.

This is where the turbulent times begin.

"Well, I guess it's because of carelessness...…. Huh?"

Hong Dae-gwang, who was looking through the report, widened his eyes.

"……Mu Jin? Mu Jin, the Blue Dragon Sword, was seen unconscious and carried back to Wudang other disciples?"

‘What kind of bullshit is this?’

Mu Jin is one of Wudang's three swords. What else would cause such a person to lose consciousness and fall?

‘What's going on in Namyung?'

‘I think we need to investigate this.’

It was at the moment when Hong Dae-gwang was about to call in his men outside.

Bam!

The door of the hut opened as if it were being torn apart, and Samgyeolgae ran in with a white face.

"Bra- Branch Leader! I think you need to come out!"

"Huh?"

Hong Dae-gwang looked at Samgyeolgae with an absurd face.

‘What do you mean to come out?’

What kind of three knots tells Branch Leader to come out and go somewhere? (Samgyeolgae mean three knots. it is beggars union rank. the more knots you have on your waist, the higher your position is.)

'I haven't disciplined beggars lately.'

If the mind breaks a little, they will know how to be afraid of the leader.

‘Today's discipline is...….’

"Gasp!"

"Don- don't go in there!"

"Hey, stop him!"

Huh?

Hong Dae-gwang turned his head.

‘What is this all of a sudden?’

"What's all this fuss about?”

The moment he shouted out loud.

Thud, Thud, Thud.

He thought he could hear soft footsteps, and then a person slowly enters the door that was half-opened.

"Haaa."

'Breathing?'

No, that's acting.

Why is he acting with his mouth? To scary people?

The man who came in without permission blinks his eyes and looks around. Then, he fixed his eyes on Hong Dae-gwang.

"Are you the branch leader here? "

"……."

Hong Dae-gwang, who was looking at the other person with a confused look, nodded his head in the meantime.

"Well, is that so?

The one who came inside.

Chung Myung says with a grin.

"Let's work together."
