Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 166. But I'll walk with you. (1)

"Hey! You bastard!"

Chung Myung flinched and looked forward.

His Sahyung, Chun Mun, was staring at him with a quivering beard.

'Oh, come on. You always do this to me.'

"You little brat!"

Chung Myung flinched and turned his head.

Far away, his Saje looks his way as if gloating, and then turn their heads.

‘No, those bastards?'

‘Do you want to die?’

Ttakk!

"Ouch!"

Chung Myung grabbed his head and looked back at Chun Mun with a resentful gaze.

"Again! Again!"

"Ughh!"

Chung Myung trembled.

Who was Chung Myung?

He is the supreme disciple of Mount Hua and is called the world's number one within Mount Hua in the future.

Of course, those who envy him try to disparage him by saying him the one who will ruin Mount Hua or disaster of Mount Hua but isn't that just the jealousy of the incompetent?

Not only Sahyung, even Elders won't touch him.

But only this person.

The nagging of Sahyung Chun Mun doesn't bother him in the slightest.

"Didn't I tell you not to beat your Saje?"

"No, I didn't mean to...…."

Chung Myung pouted his lips.

"I told you they were the first to pick a fight."

"Are you arguing that they're crazy? If you have common sense, think about it and tell me!"

"……."

Huh?

It's unfair, but he can't refute it.

"You little brat!"

Chun Mun put anger in his face.

"Not just Saje! Even Sajil avoid you because they're scared just looking at you!"

"No, those irresponsible things, the first thing they do when they go somewhere and get hit is run to me and tell me about it! Only at times like this they’re scared of me!"

"Noisy!"

"...Ugh."

Chung Myung pouted his lips.

He didn't say anything wrong.

How many times has Chung Myung taken care of what Saje had done? Back then, they said thank you or ‘I only have Sahyung’, but now they go and snitch his Sahyung just because they were beaten a little.

'There is no one in the world to trust. Really.'

Just as Chung Myung decided he must get revenge one day, Chun Mun sighed deeply.

"Follow me."

"Yes?"

"Follow me!"

"……."

Chun Mun led him up to Nakanbong Peak. and he did not say a word all the way up.

Soon after, Chun Mun, who climbed Nakanbong Peak, called Chung Myung to stand next to him. At their feet was the scene of Mount Hua from height.

‘Are you trying to push me?'

‘I wouldn't die though.’

Chung Myung thoughtlessly looked at the scenery he had seen every time. Then Chun Mun finally spoke out.

"Chung Myung-ah."

"Yes, Sahyung."

"What do you think of Mount Hua?"

"……Huh? What kind of nonsense is that? It's not like I'm cultivating it."

‘Oh, we do cultivate, right? Isn’t we are martial artists?’

"Then let's change the subject. What do you think sect is?"

"Well……."

Chung Myung tilted his head.

"To use Mount Hua for example, martial artists who left the world to cultivate their swords because they could not adapt to the human world came to this place while looking for a quiet place. As such misfits gathered one by one, they built a home and made this and that. They then gave it a name. Wasn't Mount Hua created after that?"

"……."

Chun Mun looked at Chung Myung with trembling eyes.

"……No?"

“No, of course you can think that way.”

‘I guess that's right.’

‘Did you get poked where it hurts?’

"But that's not all."

Chun Mun shook his head.

"Chung Myung-ah."

"Yes, Sahyung."

"Humans cannot live forever."

"……."

As plain as it may be, Chung Myung did not grunt this time. That's because something unapproachable was smeared from Chun Mun's words.

"You are gifted. Even if you look at the whole of Mount Hua...…. No, maybe no one has the same talent like you in the whole history of Mount Hua."

"Hehe. I'm a little embarrassed if you suddenly praise me like that."

Chung Myung twisted his body and Chun Mun distorted his face.

‘Put your hands down, Sahyung.’

‘I won't die even if you push me here.’

"There is only one."

"……What?"

"No matter how strong you are, what difference would it make? After all, there are things that you cannot achieve alone, and there are places that you cannot reach alone."

"……."

"If our ancestors did not build Mount Hua and lived here, would the world remember them? Would they will and martial arts would be passed down in the world?"

Chung Myung frowned.

"I know what you're saying, but I don't necessarily have to aim for that. I'm just going to get along well in this world and die when I die. I don't want to leave anything behind."

"It's because you don't have any desire yet."

"……Desire?"

Chun Mun nodded softly.

"Someday you'll want it, too. The day when your Saje, Sajil, and your descendants to carry on your will and connect to you. Sect is like that. Living well together is not everything. What's more important is to carry on our will."

"It's difficult."

"Well, perhaps it's still difficult for you. One thing is that it's not good for you to do whatever you want just because it's hard."

Chung Myung nodded softly.

He didn't understand exactly what Chun Mun meant, but somehow it felt like it had to be.

"So take care of your Saje a little more. In your opinion, each of these children would be lacking. And I must be the same too."

"Oh, that's not true."

Chung Myung said with a straight face.

"Saje are idiots, but I never thought Sahyung was lacking."

"……."

‘Chun Mun-ah’

‘I did a good job, didn't I?’

He sighed as he looked at Chung Myung’s face.

"Don't laugh, I'm getting attached to you, you bastard!"

"It's good to be attached."

To Chung Myung, who smiles softly, Chun Mun shakes his head and says.

"Chung Myung-ah."

"Yes."

"Do you know what's the scariest thing in the world?"

"A rod?"

"……I’m sorry."

"……."

Chun Mun spoke low.

"I'm not afraid of you being looked down on by children. But I'm afraid that one day you will regret it. Your regrets will be many times deeper and heavier than those of others. So even if you don't understand my words now, Carve it in. It will ease some of your burdens someday."

"……so you're saying don't beat up the kids."

"Yes, you punk!"

"Okay. Alright. You're nagging me for a long time!"

"Hah!"

Chun Mun turned his body around.

‘I'd rather read the sutras than nagging you!’

"Huh? Let's go together. Sahyung!"

Glancing back at Chung Myung, Chun Mum closed his eyes.

'This child was born with too many things.'

It's a good thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing. The other Saje are bound to look like idiots to a child who draws plum blossoms from the tip of his sword from the moment he grabs a sword.

How painful would it be to live alone in a world full of fools?

It's his job to lead Chung Myung right as his Sahyung.

"But Sahyung. I think I know a little bit what Sahyung means."

"Huh?"

“As I follow Sahyung, the sects are also followed me in the same manner?”

"Huh...."

Chun Mun laughed.

"It's different, you punk. How can it be the same?"

"Oh, it's difficult."

It's not easy, but one day Chung Myung will know what he means. It will take a long time though.

And when that time comes

'The world will meet the truest Swordsman of Mount Hua.'

If this free child can know the meaning of true responsibility and be free even with that responsibility.

The world will watch Mount Hua winds sweep the world.

"By the way..."

"Yes, Sahyung."

“It seems that Baek Gong Sasuk has been avoiding you lately. Has anything happened?”

"Uh....Oh, no, no. Nothing... uh, nothing happened."

"……Did you beat him?"

"Oh, no, I didn't mean it. It’s just… uh….”

‘Dear ancestors.’

‘What am I supposed to do with this guy? This guy!’

"You are fasting for four days from today."

"Huh. Aren't you overdoing it?!"

"Noisy, you punk!"

Chun Mun grabbed Chung Myung's head tightly and pulled it in his side.

"What a naughty boy!"

"Argh, it hurts! It hurts! Sahyung!”

Chun Mun and Chung Myung brawled down the mountain path in Mount Hua.

The plum blossoms that bloomed behind their backs smiled quietly.

* * *

Chung Myung got up.

"……."

Chung Myung, who looked around slightly, was silent for a moment at the sense of incongruity felt in an unfamiliar space.

‘Ah.’

‘It's a dream.’

Chung Myung closed his eyes again.

‘I've never had a dream of old days before.'

Chung Myung shook his head slightly.

When he recalls the vivid face of Chun Mun, which seems to be caught in his hand, he feels strange emotions.

But Chung Myung knows.

The past is just the past.

He is a man who lives in the present. He doesn't know why this happened only to himself, but Chung Myung is not an idiot enough to lose the present because shaken by past memories.

"What are you trying to say? Sahyung?"

‘Why at this point?’

Chung Myung shook his head and stood up.

It's overthinking. A dream is just a dream. Perhaps it bothered Chung Myung that he got nothing from Sword Tomb. That's why he have such a dream.

"Damn it! I should have gotten my hands on Chaos Origin Pill by all means!"

Chung Myung gritted his teeth.

It's already been a few days, but he can't calm down.

Chaos Origin Pill is not a simple elixir.

The Chaos Origin refinement method was a must for Mount Hua, who had lost their refinement method. That's why it's so disappointing.

"Well, I can't make something that doesn't exist."

After suffering for a long time, Chung Myung finally gave up and shook off the lingering feelings in his mind.

He will somehow get the refinement method. It's time to put aside the past and think about the future.

And above all, today...….

Chung Myung opened the door and went outside. In the wooden-floored hall leading to the yard, his Sahyung were already packing their bags and sitting there.

"Are you awake?"

"Yes."

"Why do you sleep so long? You're not feeling well?"

"It's not like that."

Chung Myung shook his head.

"That's a relief."

Baek Chun stood up with his bag around him.

Today is the day to leave for Mount Hua.

However, Chung Myung sighed and looked at the distant sky.

- Relationships that will continue will eventually continue. If it wasn't connected, it's not related.

‘What a comfortable way to say it!'

‘Why did I try so hard? I really need that Chaos Origin Pill!’

‘I'm doing this to save Mount Hua. How can you say that? Huh?’

- It's all your luck.

"Ugh."

Chung Myung scratched his head.

"What sin did I commit in my past life...…. No, it's not. I've committed a lot of crimes."

‘That's why Sahyung told me not to beat Saje.’

‘I can't believe what I did then came back here.’

"Sigh."

Baek Chun smiles as he looks at Chung Myung sighing.

"Why do you have so many regrets? Put down what to put down. We going back now. To Mount Hua."

"...that's the way it should be."

Chung Myung nodded and looked up at the sky again.

'I've had a hell of a time.'

It was perfect weather for a long journey.
