Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 246. Don't Say That Yet. (1)

"It's done!"

"Oh!"

The Elders sank back exhausted.

On top of the silk cloth laid in front of them, small purple spirit pills were lined up in rows.

"Tsk."

Although he was still upset, Hyun Young reluctantly relieved the power he had given to his eyes because he couldn't help but listen to Hyun Jong.

Hyun Jong asked as he looked at Un Gak.

"Right. How's the effect?"

Un Gak, who secretly sighed with relief, answered politely.

"I don't know for sure because I have only consumed a very small amount, but it's almost certain that it'll never be less effective than Chaos Origin Pill. I think I'll be sure if I eat one, but I happened to make one more, so if I try it...…."

"Hahaha. It's already done. What difference does it make to know in advance?"

"No, but just one pill...…."

"Hahaha."

"……."

Hyun Jong burst out laughing without answering.

This means that there is never another pill to be given.

Un Gak smacked his lips with regret.

"Yes …… but the size looks a little smaller than Chaos Origin Pill."

"As we have to distribute it exactly according to the number of the disciples, it had to be a little smaller."

"Hum, is that so?"

"The amount of Jamokcha that can be obtained at one time is very small. In addition, other ingredients are easier to obtain than Jamokcha. It's just that they're not available in bulk."

"Um, that's right. It's a little unfortunate, but can't be helped."

Hyun Jong nodded quietly.

"But there's nothing to be disappointed about, Sect Leader. This alone is a huge amount.  Have you ever heard that Shaolin divides their Great Rejunevation Pill in half and distributes it with their disciples?"

"Of course, I haven't. What kind of pill Great Rejunevation Pill is?”

Un Gak grinned.

"At least that's about as effective as this gets."

"……."

Hyun Jong opened his eyes slightly.

Even in Shaolin, the wealthiest sect in the world, the Great Rejunevation Pill is as good as an unknown treasure.

Therefore, even Shaolin cannot use Great Rejunevation Pill arbitrarily. It is only used to award a rising star who is certain to spread the name of Shaolin to the world or to save someone whose life is at risk.

As a result, most of the monks that lived under the name of Shaolin were often unable to even look at the Great Rejunevation Pill within their life.

"Um, it's amazing to think so."

"We are lucky. They saved the most worrying Ice Crystal from Eunha Merchant Guild. The only regret is that it is difficult to find enough Ice Crystal to be used on the refinement again for a while since we wiped out all the Ice Crystal that had been released in Jungwon. In addition to that, Purple Ginseng and Gongcheong Oil are almost out of stock.…."

"Um. I see."

Hyun Jong nodded quietly.

This means that it takes a lot of time to create Jasodan again. But Hyun Jong was not too disappointed.

'Excessive greed always leads to anger.'

These small pills alone is enough to make other sects come running with the sword drawn with bubbles in their mouth.

It is literally nothing but a thief's heart to hope that he can create as much as he wants.

Wouldn't it be enough to close his eyes with just this right now?

"Well, then...."

Hyun Jong turned his head slightly and looked at Chung Myung.

"Shouldn't we call the children and give them away now?"

Chung Myung shook his head.

"Not yet."

"Hm?"

Chung Myung's gaze reaches Hyun Jong, Hyun Sang, and Hyun Young.

"There's always proper order to this, so the three of you should eat it first."

"……."

The Elders looked at each other's faces as if they were surprised.

"…we?"

"Yes."

Chung Myung walked slowly, picked up three small pills, and held it out to  Hyun Jong, Hyun Sang, and Hyun Young.

"Hurry up."

"……."

Hyun Jong smiled brightly.

"Thank you for thinking about us. But Chung Myung. We've lived enough of our share. So it's better for the disciples to eat one more than for us to eat one more...…."

"What do you mean by living enough? You have to live for another hundred years."

"……Huh?"

"Don't think about leaving it all to your disciples and retiring. Eat this and work hard for another 30 years."

"……."

Is this a good son or a bad son?

Even Hyun Jong couldn't tell the difference accurately.

"We are……."

Then Chung Myung shakes his head.

"Sect Leader."

"Hm?"

"It's not a big deal."

"……."

Chung Myung said with a determined face.

"Mount Hua will gain more things and achieve more in the future. In the future, Jasodan will be a small thing, so just eat it. We can make any pill at that time."

"……."

Not a big deal.

"Hahaha. Yes, that's right. That's how it should be. Hahahaha."

When Hyun Jong bursts into laughter, Hyun Young smirks and continues to talk instead of Hyun Jong.

"You should understand. It's because we live without it, so when we accept this, our heart aches. We haven't been able to get a root of ginseng properly in our life, so we can't help ourselves to be criticized."

Hyun Sang slightly frowned at the words.

"There's something you shouldn’t say in front of a child."

"What did I say wrong?"

It was meant to be a joke, but Chung Myung couldn't laugh.

He feels a slight pain in a corner of his chest.

'Tsk.'

Chung Myung smacked his lips.

He thinks the core of Mount Hua is the second and third-class disciples.

They should be the key to the new Mount Hua under his command.

But it's just for the future of Mount Hua, and the people he feels most sorry for were the Elders in front of him.

'It's heartbreaking.'

Since entering Mount Hua, they have been struggling all their lives, and even when all the Sahyung with quick calculations leave Mount Hua, they were foolishly trying to stay here and become the ghosts of Mount Hua.

For Chung Myung, these are always painful.

So…….

"Eat."

"I know how you feel, but...…."

"Oh, that's enough. There's nothing more to hear. Go ahead and eat. If you don't eat it, I'm going to crush it all!"

Chung Myung's face was firm.

As if he would never back down in this matter.

Hyun Jong, who was looking at such a face, finally nodded quietly. And accepted the spirit.

"Yes, I'll take it."

"Sect Leader."

"That's enough."

Hyun Jong smiled brightly as he cut off Hyun Sang's worried voice.

"It's up to him how to use it, as Chung Myung made it from beginning to end. How can I refuse when the owner says to eat it?"

"……Yes."

"Hehe. The day comes when I receive filial piety from my disciples."

A pleasant smile burst out from Hyun Jong's mouth.

It was slightly wet, but at the same time, it was a very clear laugh.

"Can I just eat it?"

Un Gak answered immediately.

"Yes, you don't need any special preparation, Sect Leader."

"Um, yes. You guys get ready too."

"Yes."

As if Hyun Young and Hyun Sang had no choice, they accepted the Jasodan that Cheongmyeong had offered..

"I'll guard you. You can eat it right here."

At Chung Myung's words, the Elders nodded their heads and sat cross-legged. seats.

Un Gak swallowed a little dry saliva. Then he carefully picked up the small pills lying on the ground and stepped back. It is because he is afraid that Jasodan will go bad due to problems in the handling.

"Have some."

"Um, yes."

Hyun Jong, who was still looking at the Jasodan with mixed feelings, closed his eyes slightly and shoved the pill into his mouth.

Then Hyun Sang that was next to him followed him and poured it into his mouth.

The two close their eyes and enter the meditation state.

But Hyun Young man didn't put the pill in his mouth yet and was just looking at Chung Myung.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Hyun Young doesn't move at Chung Myung's words. It wasn't until a little while that he quietly opened his mouth.

"Chung Myung-ah."

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"……."

His sincere eyes turned to Chung Myung.

"I must say this. Thank you, Chung Myun-ah."

"……you don’t have to mention it. Go ahead and eat."

"No."

Hyun Young shook his head.

"Sometimes, there are things that have to be said in words. There are things that are not enough just to keep in the heart."

"……."

"Thank you, Chung Myung-ah. You're giving us so much."

“Ah. It’s awkward… Eat it right away.”

"Yes, I'm going to eat.  Someone's giving it to me."

After saying that, Hyun Young looked at Chung Myung without saying a word for a while.

Hyun Young's eyes.

Chung Myung who felt the eyes of Cheon Mun Sahyung looking at him in the past, closed his lips tightly.

Hyun Young, who had been looking at Chung Myung for a while, finally closed his eyes and pushed the pill into his mouth.

Hyun Young began to meditate as the melted pill gulped down into his stomach. And at that moment, a very small voice came into his ear like a fantasy.

- It's me, not you, who's grateful.

‘Am I mistaken?’

But he didn't have time to think more deeply. Hyun Young, who immediately began meditating, soon forgot about himself and fell into a trance.

Chung Myung watched the three people who meditate and turned his eyes out of the window.

He can't look at them for some reason. It's because he thinks he'll look ugly.

‘I'm sorry.’

He couldn't protect Mount Hua.

It didn't defend Mount Hua until the very end. What he saved was those prominent sect, not the Mount Hua Sect.

And they protected Mount Hua, which he couldn't protect.

Seeing that these three people, who were younger than he was when he died in the past have become old men full of wrinkles due to the hardships of the world, there is nothing to do about the sometimes churning heart.

If Chung Myung hadn't died in Hundred Thousand Mountain (Demon Cult Headquarter), if Chung Myung and Cheon Mun still stood up, their name would spread throughout the world as disciples of Mount Hua.

But Chung Myung died without being able to protect them.

To protect Mount Hua without him, the child had snow on their heads, and the hands holding the sword had wrinkles.

The heart filled with spirit dried up in front of the wall of reality, and the dream was buried under the heavy pressure from Jungwon.

‘I'm sorry.’

‘I couldn't protect you.’

‘I've made it hard for you.’

‘I...’

'I've taken your life.'

‘I...’

Foolish.

What did they remain in Mount Hua and devote their life? That one body would have been comfortable if they had just left like everyone else.

‘You fools.’

‘You stupid bastards.’

So…

'I'll get it back.'

A dream that you haven't had yet.

Your desire to run through the world.

‘I'll make it happen.’

‘I couldn't sit on my knees and caress you, so I will be your shade even now.’

‘So my descendants.’

'Don't say that yet.'

Don't call yourself old. Now don't even say I'm fine.

Did your dreams disappear just because you're getting older?

Is there nothing they want?

‘No. I know better than anyone else that it doesn't.’

You just put up with it. You just look away.

You just stop dreaming of things you can't achieve anymore.

‘I will make you wish again.’

Chung Myung gently closed his eyes. His eyelashes trembled.

He closed his eyes like that, and after a while he slowly walked and stood by the window. And he looked up at the sky with sorrowful eyes.

‘Sahyung.’

‘Cheon Mun Sahyung.’

‘I'm…….’

‘We still owe too much to Mount Hua.’

‘Sahyung …….’
