Return of The
Mount Hua – Chapter 250. Don't Say That
Yet. (5)
Paat!
"Faster!"
Paaaaat!
"Right!"
Un Gum nodded with a delighted face.
'It feels good.'
The effectiveness of Jasodan was simply enormous.
‘The young one was full of spirit thanks to the Yeongdan.' (The raw is '이래서 영단, 영단 하는구나.')
The energy carried on the disciples' swords was incomparable to the previous ones.
There are times when even the
Un Gum, the Instructor, is caught off guard in that sharp swing, so what can he
say about the effect?
Un Gum, of course, has entered
a new state after taking Jasodan, but younger disciples seem to obtain a
greater effect. How else would they be so energetic?
Whoosh.
‘Gomgi?’ (The raw is 검기가.
Here
)
Un Gum's eyes popped out as he saw the edge of the disciple’s sword making
Gomgi.
'Oh my God….’
Of course, Gomgi is not that great.
Baek Chun would be able to perform not only Gomgi but also Gomgang by now. (The
raw is 검강. The source
is the same as up there.)
Chung Myung said, "I don't want to talk to him about it!" (The raw is
청명이 놈은 굳이 말해 봐야 입만 아프고!)
But it was great that ordinary disciples here unconsciously made Gomgi during
training. Doesn't that mean that the level of the disciples has risen greatly?
‘Hahaha. It's the red peach of Mount Hua.’ (The raw is 화산의 홍복이로고.')
It was difficult for Un Gum to calm the burning heart.
He feel like he want to drink even though he have stopped drinking for a long
time.
‘It's all thanks to Chung Myung.'
How absurd was the first time Chung Myung appeared and sneaked into him for a
deal?
He will never forget how he felt when he saw the youngest, who few days after
entering the sect, had beaten all the Sahyung and forced them to train.
‘It was the right choice.'
The answer was to entrust the third-class disciples to Chung Myung with a
feeling of gambling. That one small choice eventually lead to this point.
Seeing the disciples who are getting stronger day by day and the developing
Mount Hua makes him full even without eating.
It's just...
Un Gum's face got a little darker.
One problem comes to mind.
Un Gum, who was looking at his disciples in anguish, opened his mouth with a
sigh.
"Keep training,
everyone."
"Yes, Gwanju-nim!"
In response to the loud reply, he quietly nodded his head and moved on. Where
he headed was, of course, the residence of Sect Leader.

Un Gum looked at Hyun Jong with a slightly awkward face.
'I can't get used to it at all.'
Looking at Hyun Jong, who seems to have become younger 20 years, makes him
smile awkwardly.
Of course, he remembers how he used to be, so it's not that unfamiliar...….
'It's oddly different from then.'
Rather than just getting younger, should he say that the person itself has
become clearer?
In any case, it was a change that was difficult to express in words.
"Yes. What happened?"
Hyun Jong looked at Un Gum with a slightly surprised look.
Unlike Un Am, who discussed many things with him, Un Gum did not come to him
for any reason. It was natural because he was overwhelmed with teaching
children and sharpen his own swords.
Such Un Gum requested to meet not only Sect Leader but also other Elders.
As a result, Hyun Jong had no choice but to be a little nervous while waiting
for Un Gum's words.
"Sect Leader."
"Yes, Un Gum."
"I don't have any more swordsmanship to teach the children."
"……."
Hyun Jong narrows his forehead.
"What do you mean?"
"Children develop day by day, and there is nothing to teach. Already, the
second-class disciples and the third-class disciples received not only the
Taeulmi Sword (태을미리검(太乙迷離劍)), Bokho Chungyang Sword (복호청양검(伏虎靑陽劍)), but also
the Seven Plum Sword, which was recently recovered."
"…That's right."
"If it was the usual, I should move on to the next one..."
Hyun Jong sighed low.
"I see. There's no
next."
Basically, the disciples of prestigious sect are taught even the highest level
of swordsmanship of the sect before they turn 30.
But there is no such thing as the next in Mount Hua.
Among the swords that are now handed down in Mount Hua, Seven Plum Sword was
the best. In the past, Seven Plum Sword was just a stage that one must went
through before learning the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Technique.
Un Gum coughed low in vain.
"I was able to hold on until they took the Jasodan. Even though the
transfer was over, the children didn't learn the Seven Pum Sword perfectly. But
now...…."
It seemed like Hyun Jong didn't have to listen any more.
Children with much stronger bodies cannot be satisfied with the same
swordsmanship as in the past. It's about time they were thirsty for
stronger swordsmanship.
Hyun Jong sighs after understanding all the circumstances.
'What am I supposed to do?'
If it is the Mount Hua in the past, there is nothing to worry about. He would
have taught the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.
Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique is the essence and root of Mount Hua.
Of course, it was not the end of Mount Hua's swordsmanship, but any disciples
of Mount Hua aimed to complete the Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Sword Technique.
However, the current Mount Hua, which have similar situation of that, has lost
all of its swordmansahip. (The raw is 하나 지금의 화산은 그것과 비슷한 수준이라 할 수 있는 검학까지도 모조리 잃어버렸다.)
"Ugh. This is a problem.…."
"What am I supposed to do with nothing?"
Hyun Young grunted in a slightly annoyed voice.
That's the part he didn't try to recall. However, it has come to a situation
where it cannot be ignored at all.
Hyun Jong was troubled with a serious face.
"Hmm."
Because it's swordsmanship.
Un Gum simply said that if the children did not get a better sword technique,
dissatisfaction would pile up, but this was also important for the future of
the sect.
In the end, if Mount Hua tries to regain its past glory, higher-level sword
technique was imperative. How can a swordsman without swordsmanship rank among
the best?
"We can't turn a blind
eye anymore. It's been postponed for various reasons, but now we have to find a
way somehow."
Everyone nodded with a serious face at Hyun Jong's word.
"If you have any opinions, don't hesitate to tell me. No matter how absurd
it may be."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Everyone began to think seriously.
However, since there was no answer, no one was able to open their mouth easily.
"Well."
The first person to make an opinion was Hyun Sang.
"Sect Leader."
"Yes, tell me."
"In my opinion, instead of looking for something that doesn't exist, how
about inventing a new martial art instead?"
"Create?"
Hyun Jong frowned.
"Will that work?"
“I know it will be difficult, but it will be a lot easier than finding real
martial arts.”
"Heh! That doesn't make sense. Sahyung!"
Hyun Young snorted.
"What can't be done? We've restored Jasodan, haven't we?"
"Did Sahyung make it?"
"……."
Hyun Young opened his ax’s eyes wide.
"Don't mistake something that Chung Myung did for us. It's not that Mount
Hua has developed, it's just that Chung Myung is hitting, banging even hitting
quakes with his feet! What did Sahyung so proud of?"
"Hmph."
Hyun Sang blushed if he had nothing to say.
"Also! When you say martial arts, do they come out right away? Who will
make them? Sahyung?"
"……."
"Or is it Un Gum?"
Un Gum dodged his gaze.
"Is martial arts a joke? Do you think we can make Seven Plum Sword if we
all jump in and wrap our heads together? It won’t even come out! If it's that
easy in the first place, then, well, Shaolin will still be able to make the
Plum Sword Technique with ease!"
Hyun Sang raised his head with
an awkward face and coughed
"I'm not saying I'm going to restore the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom
Swordsmanship. Just slightly better than the Seven Plum Swords..."
However, he soon closed his mouth, blurring the end of his words. The
response was apparently not very good.
Right, it was a little too much.
Then Hyun Young turned his head and looked at Hyun Jong.
"Not like this, let's call Chung Myung."
"……Huh? Why Chung Myung?"
"He's a guy who falls down while jumping and finds the Seven Plum Sword,
and if we give him a pickaxe and ask him to dig somewhere, will he get only
Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship? There might be something bigger!"
The scariest thing is that those words are sincere.
Hyun Jong trembled after confirming that Hyun Young had no mischief in his
eyes.
He was worried that he would make a Chung Myung bridge and sit on it.
"Chung Myung isn't some kind of goblin, what is it that he makes you
rush?"
"If the goblin sees Chung Myung, he should be the older brother! And maybe
he is a real goblin. Take a look at it this time, too! Didn't he make it right
away when we said we needed a pot? Even a goblin can't do that."
"No, that's...…."
Hyun Jong, who was going to say something, flinched for a moment.
"Wait……."
Hyun Jong's face changed several times in a short period of time.
"The Everlasting Metal pot. Yes.... Yes! The pot!"
"Huh?"
Hyun Young looked at Hyun Jong with a face that was as if he didn't understand.
"Go get Chung Myung! Right now!"
"Yes!"
Un Gum was startled and stormed out of the room.
--
"New martial arts?"
"That's right."
"……."
Chung Myung has a subtle look on his face.
'It wasn't that they weren't thinking about it either.'
Chung Myung was thinking that
the next swordsmanship was needed. Judging by these words, doesn't it mean that
they were also diligently thinking about the next process?
Still, he had a hard time
figuring out how to deliver the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship.
"But why are you telling me that?"
Of course, he shouldn't make it obvious.
"Chung Myung-ah. Take a pickaxe and dig somewhere. Just in case,
there's something else...."
Hyun Sang closed Hyun Young's mouth without saying a word and dragged him.
"Eup!"
Then Hyun Young was quickly subdued as he struggled.
Seeing that, Chung Myung smacked his lips as if he was disappointed.
‘It could've been easier.'
That's not helping, man.
“So that’s what it is, Chung Myung-ah.”
"Yes."
Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung and asked.
"You know, that pot......"
Chung Myung flinched.
‘Why is that story coming out here? Don’t tell me...?’
"How did you make that pot?"
"What?"
Chung Myung asked back as if he had not properly grasped the intention of the
question. And then he worked his head furiously.
‘How should I handle this....’
"Didn't you cut and bend it?"
"Oh…. Yes, that's
right!"
Chung Myung nodded furiously.
If there was a question about where to get Everlasting Metal, he would have
written an epic poem for the answer, but it was fortunate that the direction
was this way.
"That means you can cut Everlasting Metal, right?"
"Hahaha. What are you saying again now! I'm Chung Myung! Chung
Myung!"
It was Chung Myung who did not intend to hide his martial art anymore.
It's been reported that he has a spar with Tang Gaju, beat Tang Wei, and even
beat Inkscale Blood Serpent. What's the use of humility now?
‘I'd rather enjoy…….’
"Yes! Yes, Everlasting
Metal! You can cut Everlasting Metal!"
Chung Myung tilted his head as he looked at Hyun Jong, who has a bright
complexion.
'What are you trying to say?'
Hyun Jong succumbed to his excitement and spoke his words.
"I have kept it a secret from you, but in Mount Hua, there is a note that
has been written by Sect Leader from generation to generation."
"What?"
"Was there a place like that?"
"Unfortunately, the way to open the door was impossible. In
addition, not only the door but also the entire warehouse was made of
Everlasting Metal, so until now, it was untouchable." (The raw is 하나 아쉽게도 그 문을 여는 방법이 실전된 상태다.)
"Such a thing...!"
Expectations were high in everyone's faces.
Because they understand what Hyun Jong is saying now.
If it was a warehouse that was used by the Sect Leader from generation to
generation, they would have collected important items of the sect.
Then there's a high probability that there's a copy of Mount Hua's own
high-level martial art as well as the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Swordsmanship!
"Then we can open the door!"
"Yes! Since Chung Myung said he can cut Everlasting Metal!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chung Myung.
"……."
But what caught their eyes was the face of Chung Myung, who had become
contemplative.
"Sect...…Sect Leader’s warehouse?"
"Yes!"
"O-Open it up and go in?"
"Cut it and go in. Because you can cut Everlasting Metal!"
"Haha... Ha. That's a great idea. Well, that's...…."
Chung Myung, whose face was hazy, rolled his eyes.
‘Uh...’
‘I can't do this.’
‘I cut the ceiling and used it as a pot...….’
And then he smiled pleasedly.
‘I'm screwed.’
‘Cheon Mun Sahyung!’
‘Save me! ‘

Trivia info:
검강 - 劍罡. 劍 is literally sword. 罡, on the other hand, the etymology is crazy ass long. 罡 is comprised of two words 四正 (four rights), and has something to do with taoist philosophy. 罡 is supposed to encompass Four Thoughts, Mind, Body, Speaking, Actions (these Four Thoughts have Four Rights), and by attaining this state, that they would become unbendable as an upright person.
