Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 169. But I'll walk with you. (4)

 

"Whoaaaa!"

"I found it! I have found it!"

"It's Chaos Origin Pill! God, crazy! Chaos Origin Pill is here!"

Baek Chun rushed to Chung Myung. Then he quickly grabbed Chaos Origin Pill’s box, not Chung Myung.



Splash!

Chung Myung fell to the water, but no one paid any attention to him. He only checked the box containing Chaos Origin Pill with half-turned eyes.

"If it's the secret to Chaos Origin Pill, this must be the refinement method, isn't it, Sasuk?"

"Of course not! What else could it be? Hahahaha! We finally find it in the end!"

"Whoaa! Sect Leader! We did it! Hahahaha!"

"Shh!"

At that time, Yoo Iseol signaled to be quiet and spoke quietly.

"Sahyung, there might still be someone around. Treasure will bring disaster. No one should listen to what we found."

"Oh, right."

Baek Chun quickly closed his mouth and closed the box.

He doesn't feel any signs around him, but there's still one thing they need to do.

"What are we going to do now?"

"I wonder…"

"Shouldn't we take it to Mount Hua?"

"Should we? We should right?"

Even Baek Chun couldn't hide his panic at the moment. Suddenly, he strode up the mountain and pulled out a box of Chaos Origin Pill from an unimaginable place.

Isn't that a stranger situation if he doesn't panic?

"Chung Myung-ah. You bastard. You did a great job.…. Huh? Chung Myung?"

Only then does Baek Chun, who finds Chung Myung half-submerged in water and drown with bubbles, rushed in surprise.

"Hey! Why are you doing?"

"Ugh."

Barely awake, Chung Myung shuddered and glared at Baek Chun.

"The sandstone is falling! Leave the box alone! Are you going to take the elixir alone?"

"……what are you imagining."

"I shouldn't speak."

Chung Myung raised himself with a groaning sound. His clothes are completely wet, but that doesn't matter.

"Give it to me!"

Chung Myung takes the box away from Baek Chun. Then he took a deep breath and carefully opened the box.

Again, an indescribable scent spreads.

'This is absolutely authentic.'

Usually, Youngdan does not smell like this. Even Jasodan, which was the best elixir of Mount Hua in the past, did not have such a clear scent. This is something that cannot be replicated with a fake.

"Huu. Huu. Huu."

Chung Myung takes a deep breath, brings out the parchment, and closes the box again. After roughly shoving the box into his arms, he unfolded the parchment. He began to read it in a slightly quivering voice.

"To the one who found this (連子)."

"Hoh!"

"Hooohh!"

All the disciples of Mount Hua listen to Chung Myung's voice that is full of emotion.

"Anyone who understands what my arrangement means
and has reached this point is entitled to my inheritance. Chaos Origin Pill and the refinement method should be used to save many people in the world. If you are a scholar, you will fully understand my will. "
"Whoaa!"

"Thi- This is the real Chaos Origin Pill and the refinement method!"

Chung Myung closed the parchment.

In addition to that, there were a few other messages. There is the refinement method of Chaos Origin Pill and others medicine that Immortal Medicine had achieved throughout his life.

But Immortal Medicine wouldn't have thought of it.

The fact that the arrangements he has put so much effort into will fall into the hands of a human being with a completely different tendency than he thought.

"Kik kik kik kik."

He can't stop laughing.

He can't help but keep laughing.

"Muahahaha!"

Chung Myung couldn't control his laughter and took out the box and put the parchment back in. Then he stuffed the box into his arms and tied his clothes tightly.

His chest bulged out because of the liquor and box. He looks ridiculous, but what about it? His heart is warmer than ever before!

"Hahahaha. I could even have a drink with Southern Edge Sect’s Sect Leader."

Have a drink. That's what life is all about!

‘What? Plum Blossom Sword Method? Oh, it's okay, it's okay. You guys can't even use it properly anyway, can you? LOL.’

"Chung Myung, the Chaos Origin..."

"Hehehehe!"

"No. The pills……."

"Kahahahaha!"

Baek Chun shook his head.

‘He loses it.’

But that feeling is perfectly understandable. Baek Chun couldn't control his trembling leg.

"Oh my god, it’s Chaos Origin Pill."

He has come all the way here to get this, but he really doesn't think to ever be able to get it like this. It was Baek Chun who kept checking the outline of the box on Chung Myung's chest.

Then Chung Myung said with a refreshed face.

"Ha, but people have to be reasonable."

"Huh?"

He turned around and bowed slowly toward the source where the box had been pulled out.

Chung Myung, who finished the ceremony
(二拜) to pay tribute to the deceased, silently looks at the source of the water.

"There is not even a tomb. What place is this supposed to be?"

"No."

Chung Myung shook his head.

“This is the tomb of Immortal Medicine.”

"……Yes?"

Immortal Medicine's body may have been buried elsewhere. Maybe there's no such thing as a grave. Life would have been meaningless for Immortal Medicine, who left Chaos Origin Pill and the refinement method.

Perhaps he died alone and lonely in the deep mountains out of anyone's reach.

There may not be a body here, but there is a meaning left by him. Then it wouldn't be strange to call this Immortal Medicine's tomb.

It wasn't his body that mattered to him, it was his will.

"That's enough."

Chung Myung turned around without hesitation.

The technique of Immortal Medicine continues. But Chung Myung didn't have to carry on his will.

"By the way..."

Yoon Jong spoke as if he can’t put it out of his mind.

"Can we take this to Mount Hua? I don't think that's what the deceased meant."

Mount Hua is a sect.

But Immortal Medicine didn't want Chaos Origin Pill to fall into sect's hands. He just wanted someone who inherited his will to use his art.

But Chung Myung simply answered in a blunt way.

"I don't care."

"Huh?"

"Immortal Medicine is just gambling, too. It's just irresponsible to think that a decent human will come just because he has arranged proper arrangement."

"Still..."

"If Immortal Medicine really wanted to convey his will, he should have brought in a disciple who could carry on his will, not leave Chaos Origin Pill in this way. Even if they don't catch your eye, they will continue your will...…."

Chung Myung shut up.

- One day you'll wish for it too. The day when your Sajil, your Saje, and your descendants carry on your will and connects to you.

Munpa (Sect) is like that. Living well together is not everything. What's more important is to carry on our will.

Chung Myung quietly closes his eyes.

'That's what you wanted to say, Sahyung.'

The dream last night.

That's what Chun Mun said to him in that dream.

‘Were you so worried about this ugly Sajil?'

Chung Myung bit his lips gently.

"Chung Myung-ah?"

"Ah, no. Nothing."

Chung Myung, who had sneakily wiped the corners of his eyes so that his Sahyungs could not see, continued with a slightly lowered voice.

"You don't have to trust them. Their ability may be insufficient, but if those who will continue my will live from generation to generation, there will be a predecessor who will completely connect to my will and ability someday.  Yeah... that's how it works. Yeah, that's Munpa. That's..."

turned his head and looked at the rock.

"Immortal Medicine didn't trust those who would carry on his will. He wanted a perfect genius who could fully capture his abilities and will. That's why he did this. But…… that wasn't the right way to do it."

One who is alone has no choice but to look down on others.

In the eyes of a genius like Immortal Medicine, everyone in the world would seems lacking. He wouldn’t think that those people could inherit his ability and will. He believed that only a genius like himself could inherit his abilities.

Just as Chung Myung once did.

But.

'You're wrong.'

And Chung Myung in the past was wrong. No, rather than being wrong, he simpply didn't know it.

- One day, those who seem lacking to you will be the most precious thing to you.

Chung Myung clenched his fist.

"Now I know. Sahyung."

"Huh? Me?"

Chung Myung looked at him with sour eyes as Yoon Jong pointed at himself.

‘No, I don't think I know yet...….’’

‘Anyway!

This couldn't be done by Chung Myung alone. If his Sahyungs hadn't contemplated and worked together, Chung Myung would have gone back to Mount Hua without realizing anything.

Those feeble people push Chung Myung's back and support him.

Right, those people...

Chung Myung opened his mouth with a slightly awkward tone.

"You all did a great job. Well done."

"Huh?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Is he crazy? Why does he do something he never does?"

"He needs therapist."

"……."

‘No, these bastards?’

Chung Myung let out a deep sigh as he glared at them.

Blame who? It was all because of his doing.

Chung Myung looked at the rock quietly. And he thought of Immortal Medicine's will that might remain here.

'Maybe you've made the best choice, too. Who knows if it’s you or me who are right. I don't know everything either.'

But.

"Still, I walk together."

‘I don't walk alone anymore.’

‘I no longer try to solve everything on my own.’

Now he has people who will continue his will, and people who will fulfill his will together. Yeah, that's Munpa. That is Mount Hua.

Immortal Medicine's will will be cut off here.

What he tried to leave in the world will no longer have meaning. His will only led to Chung Myung, and Chung Myung won't continue that will.

But Chung Myung is different.

His will continues.

As long as Mount Hua exists, as long as Mount Hua’s will is alive in the world. Even if he dies, hundreds of years later, Chung Myung's will won’t fade.

And...

'As long as Mount Hua exists, the will of Sahyung is with me. Right, Sahyung?'

There was no answer.

But Chung Myung had already heard the answer.

He doesn't have to miss the past. Because the will of Mount Hua that they risked their lives to protect is with the present Chung Myung.

With Mount Hua's name alone, he is the same as being with Sahyungs who have gone before him.

And now...….

Chung Myung looks at Sahyungs in front of him.

‘Yes. I just walk with them.’

"Sasuk."

"Yes."

Chung Myung had a refreshing smile.

Now is the time to go.

A place that he misses just by its name. A place that makes him feel warm just by thinking about it.

"Let's go back to Mount Hua."

Everyone nodded with a smile on their face.

It was the moment when the long journey to Namyung came to an end.
