Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 197. If it's unfair, you should survive. (2)

Dazed.

Everything is vague.

‘What am I doing right now?’

Blood rushing through the nose.

A stinging live skin.

All of this is just unfamiliar.

"Taoist-hyung!"

Behind Chung Myung's back, three daggers fly in and hit in the foreheads of Magyo who rushed at him.

Kwadeuk!

With a gruesome sound, Magyo fell on the spot.

Thud.

Chung Myung looked at those who had fallen to the ground with slightly dazed eyes.

The wiggling Magyo’s heads turn to their sides. Soon the light disappears from the eyes.

Death.

Yes, it's death.

"What are you doing? In the middle of a fight. That's not like you, Taoist-hyung!"

Chung Myung slowly turned his head and looked back.

Tang Bo.

He tilts his head and approaches Chung Myung.

"……no."

Chung Myung raised his hand and pressed his forehead tightly.

He was strangely distracted.

"I don't know, maybe I’m a little tired."

Chung Myung shook off the plum sword, shook off the blood from the sword and shoved it into the scabbard. Tang Bo smiles and stretches out his hand to retrieve the dagger.

"No wonder you're tired. We've been fighting for three whole days."

"Well."

“…you look really tired, hyung? You talk less.”

"……."

"Can I give you a pill?"

"There you go."

"No, Hyung being like this again. When others say Tang Family Yeongdan (some kind of medicine pill), they try to eat it with their eyes turned upside down. Don't you trust the Tang family?"

"I believe in the Tang Family."

"Then why?"

"I don't trust you."

"Ha, you're still upset by that, aren't you? I gave you the wrong one because I was mistaken."

"You just all talk. Just!"

Chung Myung turned his body around.

"I'm going back."

"No, let's go together. Hyung-nim."

Tang Bo quickly followed Chung Myung behind.

"Now that we have killed another unit, the situation will be a little tilted in our favor, right?"

"It should be."

Otherwise, there would be no reason to go through so much trouble.

Suddenly, Chung Myung to the cold sensation felt in his arms.Tang Bo was applying Gold Leaf Medicine (금창약을) on his arm.

The long cut is covered with a thick Gold Leaf Medicine.

"How many times do I have to tell you that if you don't treat your wounds on time, you'll suffer?"

Chung Myung narrowed his brow slightly.

"Leave it alone and it will heal itself."

"Yes, it will. But it gets better faster if you apply medicine. Stay still."

Tang Bo tore Chung Myung's hem off and applied gold paste all over it.

"You can't have Gold Medication from the Tang Family even if you have the money. Be grateful."

"Whenever you open your mouth, you say that you don't like Tang Family, but you use Tang Family goods well."

"That's that and this is this. Besides..."

Tang Bo's face turned slightly bitter.

"I didn't understand it before, but now I understand why the family was so stubborn.   In the end, without power, it was nothing.  If the Tang Family had been a little more powerful, we wouldn't have run away from Sichuan like this, and so many of our family members wouldn't have lost their lives."

"……."

Seeing Tang Bo suddenly speaking in a heavy voice, Chung Myung narrowed his forehead slightly.

"I think that these days. Taoist Hyung-nim."

"What do you think?"

"If I had just believed and pushed my family instead of picking on everything they said, wouldn't the family be a little stronger...…Then... then... then we can save one more person...…."

"Don't say nonsense. You may have been annihilated by believing in your strength and fighting against it."

"……I guess so."

Tang Bo bows his head slightly with a bitter expression. After a while, he raised his head again, and the bitterness disappeared from his face as if washed away. Instead, a mischievous smile bloomed.

"So, after the war is over, I'm going to try to help Gaju guys a little this time. I'm an elder by name, and I'm an adult, but I've never taken good care of them."

"You have only been a bully."

"That's what I'll do only to Hyung-nim..."

"What?"

"No, no. The weather is so... uh. It's gloomy. What's wrong with the weather? Uh-huh."

Chung Myung smiled bitterly.

In fact, Chung Myung is no better than Tang Bo, given that he has not done anything for his senior. (Original mtl Samun (사문))

All he gave to his sect (Also Samun) was the reputation of Plum Blossom Sword Saint. He did not raise his disciples properly and did not help his descendants.

He just lived as he wanted, moved as he wanted.

'If the war ends...….'

It should be different then. At that time.

"So, Hyung-nim."

"What?"

"Let's make a promise with me. If I die during this war, please watch the Tang Family kids."

"……what kind of nonsense is that?"

"I'm Dark Lord (Dark Saint. Or could be Assasin Saint.), you're more likely to survive than I am.  So, just listen to this little brother's will and take care of the children. It's because I'm giving you the medicine. Even if you pay for this..."

"If you're going to talk nonsense, go away, go away. I'll stab you."

"No, it's not that difficult!"

"If you want to raise your own family, do it yourself. You have to survive somehow."

"……Ay, you cold-hearted man."

Chung Myung, who pushed the muttering Tang Bo away like a fly, swirled ahead.

"You promised, didn't you?"

"Who know."

"I'm giving you these medicines!"

"No, is this bastard real?"

"What?"

"Let's get you hit."

"Ha... haha. Oh, you must have had a serious injury earlier. What's wrong with your body….?"

Chung Myung grinned as he watched Tang Bo step down with tremble.

"Why do dead people think behind their backs? It's over when they die."

"Well, that's not the case, though. Even if I die, the rest will live."

"……."

"We are talking about Taoist Hyung-nim. I don't know how you feel because you're a Taoist who's detached from the world…”

Tang Bo scratched his head.

"There is such a thing, such a thing. It's an unpleasant feeling that never goes away."

Chung Myung sighed and turned around.

"Don't pass things on to others and do it yourself."

"……."

"Instead."

"What?"

"I'll finish the war. By cutting the throat of that Heavenly Demon.”

"Haha. If it’s Taoist Hyung-nim, I think you can do it."

"So until then...…."

Chung Myung chewed it out.

"Live like a scoundrel."

"……Yes."

Tang Bo crept up next to Chung Myung. Seeing him walking next to him, Chung Myung unwittingly followed his steps.

And.

Tang Bo  was killed in action less than a month later.

* * *

Chung Myung opened his eyes.

'Huh?'

Chung Myung jumped to his feet.

"Ugh..."

He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a white bandage wrapped around his stomach.

‘I don't think I’m dead.'

‘I'm not going to die like that. In the past, when I fought a war, I survived with a dagger stuck in my stomach! This body is more persistent than a cockroach...…. Oh, that is an insult.’

‘But where am I?'

Chung Myung, who turned his head, distorts his eyes in an instan

"Huh?"

The disciples of Mount Hua literally spread out in his eyes.

Baek Chun, Yoo Iseol, Yoon Jong, Jo-Gol lying dead on the floor...….

‘Ah. They are just sleeping like corpses.’

He was surprised.

Chung Myung glanced at the conditions of his Sahyung and grinned.

"Maybe it's because I grew up without bed, but I sleep well on the floor."

‘Ugh. those poor things.’

Chung Myung was about to wake up Yoon Jong.

"Leave them alone. They have been awake for three days."

Chung Myung turned his head.

Before he knew it, a man stood at the open door.

"Did you wake up?"

"……."

The man who came in slowly and spoke to him was Tang Gun-ak, the head of Tang Family , who had a duel with Chung Myung.

There was no expression on his face.

Chung Myung tilts his head and looks around once again.

"Is this Tang Family?"

"That's right."

"Why would I...…. No, wait, before that! It's been three days?"

"Yes, you've been unconscious for three days."

Chung Myung's face was distorted.

‘Three days?’

No, he got stabbed in the stomach, and he have been out for three days?

'I'm weak.'

Chung Myung gritted his teeth.

In the past, it was a wound that would have been scratched off the spot and applied with medicine, but this body barely maintains its consciousness with such a wound.

When he thought about it, it was Chung Myung who was angry.

"Then why is my Sasuk like this?"

"They said they won't leave your side until you open your eyes. I tried to offer them a rest, but they drew their sword and resisted. I was so nervous that I thought something would happen, so I put them to sleep with a blood transfusion."

"……."

‘They have been around for three days?’

'That...…'

‘Shouldn’t you take turns watching. But four of you together?’

‘Oh, those stupid things.’

Chung Myung glared at Tang Gun-ak.

"Then you should have moved me somewhere more comfortable!"

"If I try to move you, you wake up with a grunt. What should I do?"

"……."

"You disciples must be very close. If the children of the Tang family were like that, my worries would have been relieved a little. I'm jealous."

"You envy this..."

Chung Myung glanced at his Sahyung.

'It's stupid.'

It's so stupid.

But...

"Keheum."

Chung Myung coughed low.

An indescribable emotion ran through his chest.

Then, Tang Gun-ak strode in and bowed his head towards Chung Myung.

"I apologize."

"Huh?"

"This is all my fault. I didn't think Tang Pae would commit such a crime."

"……."

"I know that no matter what I say, I will not be excused. I'll do my best, so please let go of your anger."

"Hmm?"

Tang Gun-ak, who raised his head, opened his mouth with a serious face.

"First of all, I accept that this is my defeat."

"……."

"As promised, the Sichuan Tang Family recognizes Chung Myung of Mount Hua as an eternal guest and friend of us."

"Oh?"

"And if you'd like, I'll give you this neck."

Chung Myung opened his eyes wide.

"I raised my child wrong. I'll do as much as I can if it could excuse me. If it can restore the reputation of the Tang Family that fell to the ground!"

Tang Gun-ak said like a spit.

But his inner heart was a little different from what he showed on the outside.

'If I talk to this extent, he has no choice but to accept it.'

Tang Gun-ak sneaks up and looks at Chung Myung.

'Huh?'

Unfortunately for Tang Gun-ak, Chung Myung's expression is a little...…. No, it was very different.

"……."

Chung Myung's head is tilted to the side.

"That's all?"

"……Huh?"

"Is that all?"

"W- Well?"

"Aigoo."

Chung Myung looks at Tang Gun-ak with incredible eyes. The look in his eyes as if he was seeing something that shouldn't have been there, made Tang Gun-ak stunned.

"You put a dagger in a man's stomach and what? Friends? Frieeeeends?”

"……."

"And if the kid did something wrong, the parents should be held accountable! Such a secret way to pass the blame on to the kid!"

"……."

"Oh my God, people in the neighborhood. This is the Tang family, the Tang family! Oh, my God!  A prestigious family! A prestigious family my ass!"

Chung Myung jumped out of his seat.

"No! It's not like this, I'll have to run around Sichuan and spread rumors about how well the Tang Family is doing. I can tell the beggars. It'll be all over the world in three days."

"Ca- Calm down!"

A cold sweat dripped down Tang Gun-ak's spine.

When rumors spread that the leader of the Tang family lost in the duel with Mount Hua Divine Dragon, and that the Sogaju of the Tang family conducted a secret attack during the legitimate duel....The Tang Family… is over.

It is also the Tang Family that has been called Sapa because they use assasination and poison.

"No, no, no. I’m going to lose my minf. You throw dagger as a sneak attack in the middle of a duel, can't you just brush a person's neck?" (The raw is 사람 목 하나 슥삭 못 할까?")

"……then I'd have killed him already."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. I said something wrong."

Tang Gun-ak looked at Chung Myung, wiped cold sweat with his sleeve.

"What do you want?"

"Are you asking because you don't know? There needs to be a reward! A reward!  If it seems to end in one word, why is there a government official! Why does war happen!"

“Yes. Yes. Of course, we should compensate. But as a reward...… what should I do...…."

"That's something I'll think about carefully. How can I make most... No, I can make a good deal with each other."

"……."

"And!"

Chung Myung blinked his eyes.

"First of all, I'm not feeling well."

"Huh?"

"Give me one Cheondokdan (천독단)." (-dan mean a pill.)

"……Cho-Cheondok?"

"Yes."

"……."

"Now."

"...I see."

An uncontrollable wretchedness appeared on the face of Tang Gun-ak.

'You got it wrong.'

And Chung Myung smiled brightly at Tang Gun-ak's face.

Tang Bo-ah. Tang Bo-ah.

‘Be easy. I'll take good care of the Tang Family.’

‘Huh?’

Isn’t this what you mean by taking care?’

‘If it's not fair, you should come back to life.’

‘Kikikik.’
