Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 256. What's going to open? (1)

"…Yes."

Did they say that misfortune and luck always come together? (The raw  is 화와  )

Hyun Sang was fully aware of what that meant.

The blessing he received now couldn't have been more pleasant. Now that the martial arts of Mount Hua, which he thought had been lost have returned.

Of course, not all of the martial arts that they had in the past have returned, but the martial arts that they secured this time alone have succeeded in rebuilding Mount Hua's framework.

With the exception of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword method obtained as an illustration book, more than 20 sword art methods have been obtained.

He is not tired even if he doesn't sleep, and he was full even if he don't eat.

Just looking at the treasure chests all laid out makes him enchanted. No alcohol could make him this drunk.

However, it was also these books that brought about misfortune.

"Plu-Plum Blossom Sanshou (梅花散手)…… First of all, the advanced level!" (The raw is 무각원. I’m not sure if it was  name or not.)

"Yes!"

The martial artists quickly pick up the Plum Blossom Sanshou and run to one side. (Also same as the above.)

"How much is this?"

"Ten volumes!"

"Yes! I'll get started right away."

"Please do." (I’m not sure if he checking the martial art manual or verifying it first.)

At that time, the martial artist peeked into Hyun Sang's eyes and started to rhyme.

"By the way... Gakju-nim. Shouldn't you take a little break? It's already been four days." (Probably Martial Hall Head title. Earlier martial artist character says mungak, so that could be mean that they are martial artist of Martial Hall)

"It’s fine, I'm not even halfway done yet. How am I supposed to rest? The Sect Leader is doing such a good job to get us at this point, you punk.”

"You're harming your health like this. I'll tell the Sect Leader."

"No, it's not the problem even if the Sect Leader asks me. Do you think I can fall asleep now?"

Looking at Hyun Sang's bloodshot eyes, the martial hall (Next will refer as Mungak ) nodded unconsciously.

The problem was very simple.

Having acquired a large number of martial art methods in a short period of time, it was necessary to check and classify these books.

Why do they need such a procedure?

A place commonly referred to as the prestigious sect has at least dozens to as many as hundreds of kinds of martial art.

Isn't it said that close to a thousand kinds of martial arts, including the Seventy-Two Unique Martial Art (칠십이종절예(七十二種絶藝)), are kept in that janggyeonggak in Shaolin?

But there is a limit to a human's ability. A person cannot master all 1,000 kinds of martial art just because they have 1,000 kinds of them.

Therefore, each sect was supposed to set a system of martial arts that the disciples basically had to learn, and select martial arts that could be learned together according to their aptitude and ability.

So Mount Hua also needs to get a system of learning that he has gained this time. And of course, it was the footless Hyun Sang, who was in charge of the whole of Mount Hua's anarchy.

"Ugh, when are we going to finish all this?"

Of course, it is not an easy task.

It is indeed difficult to identify and reorganize many of these martial art manuals, but the bigger problem is that the level of the manual has exceeded the limit that Hyun Sang can handle.

Each one is a new martial art and advanced one that Hyun Sang has never encountered before.

Hyun Sang would need to wrap his head and decide, but he can't tell which one is better and basic. How could he can?

Hyun Sang rubbed his face with both hands.

His bloodshot eyes stare at the rest of the books.

It was then.

"How are you?"

Hyun Young looks at Hyun Sang as he walks in through the Martial Hall door.

"...It's difficult."

"Well, you don't look like a man. Your head had turned whiter. Take a break and do it."

"Do I have time for that? Even Sect Leader can't sleep."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, so why don't you throw away that useless pride?"

"Pride?"

When Hyun Sang asked again, Hyun Young nodded.

"Why would Sahyung need to think hard? All you have to do is call Chung Myung and tell him to do it."

"……Huh?"

‘Chung Myung?’

‘Why does Chung Myung's name come out?’

"Chung Myung...…?"

"Chung Myung is stronger than Sahyung."

"……."

Hyun Sang shut his mouth.

‘Uh...’

‘That's true, but...….It's…….’

It's undeniable.

He didn't try to think about it, but isn't everyone now implicitly acknowledging Chung Myung as the highest martial artist of Mount Hua?

"But this is about classifying Mount Hua's martial art. So……."

"Sahyung, Sahyung, stop being so frustrated."

"Huh?"

" Sahyung doesn't know anything about these martial arts."

"……."

"It is a matter of accepting and understanding the new knowledge. Will the old like us do well? Wouldn’t the smart little boy do well? Don't suffer for nothing, just look for Chung Myung."

Hyun Sang burst out laughing as he saw Hyun Young looking for Chung Myung every time he opened his mouth.

"Hehe. It is as if Chung Myung was some kind of goblin, you're looking for him whenever you need something."

"Don't even bring anything stupid like a goblin. If you beat a goblin a hundred times, will they get a copy of the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword?"

"… indeed."

Come to think of it, it's really amazing.

Whenever Chung Myung touches something, Mount Hua develops at an incredible rate. Compared to just two and a half years ago and now, the word "Mount Hua" has changed to the point of overshadowing the past.

"So Sahyung, don't be ridiculous and find Chung Myung."

"What do you mean looking for him? Did he go anywhere?"

"I can't see this guy. I don't know where he went.  I even picked up a carp."

‘……stop feeding him.’

‘He's going to roll around.’ (The raw is 그러다가 애 굴러다니겠다.)
--
Sararrak.

The hem of his clothes fluttered in the blowing wind.

Chung Myung lay on the roof of the White Plum Dormitory and was relaxing for the first time in a while.

‘Oh, I think I'm going to live.'

Actually, he has been too busy. He hasn't had a good rest since he left White Plum Dormitory after finishing closed training. From Namyung to Shaanxi, Sichuan to Yunnan. Didn't he almost cross Jungwon?

‘I did everything I had to do.'

He filled the lack of internal strength with Jasodan, and gave them martial arts to learn. And by appease (?) Baek Chun, he created an atmosphere where he could practice on his own. (I wonder why there is a question mark…kekekeke.)

It is safe to say that the first goal that he set when he first came back to Mount Hua has now been achieved. (I want to make it, It can be said that the first goal set for The Return of Mount Hua has now been achieved.)

‘Why don't we goof around for a while?'

Training is not always a thing to push. Sometimes adequate rest is better than intense training.

‘Just for a month.... No, just for 15 days..... .’

"Huh?"

At that time, Chung Myung saw a stranger entering the gate.

He is not Mount Hua's disciple however he looks at it.

"It's a beggar, isn't it?"

Chung Myung tilts his head.

‘What kind of beggar is on Mount Hua....…. No, wait a minute. I think I've seen it somewhere?’

"Mount Hua Divine Dragon!"

Just in time, the beggar, who found Chung Myung lying on the roofs, began rushing in.

His eyes are good, too.

Papat!

The beggar, who jumped to the top of the roof at once, suddenly frowned and screamed.

"You bastard! How could you do this to me?"

"…Who are you?"

"……."

The beggar's face turned black and red.

"It's me, you bastard! Hong Dae-gwang!"

“Uh… so…?”

When Chung Myung showed signs that he still didn't know, Hong Dae-gwang tapped his chest as if he was frustrated.

"It's Hong Dae-gwang, who used to be the head of Beggar Union’s branch in Nakyang! Did this guy lose his mind when he said he went to Yunnan?"

"Aaahh, Beggar Ahjussi?"

"Yeah! Beggar... Don't call me that, you bastard!"

Chung Myung gleamed and looked at Hong Dae-gwang.

Still, he had a good relationship with Hong Dae-gwang in Sword Tomb.

"But what brings you here?"

"Didn't you hear that?"

"What?"

"Oh, I guess the Sect Leader didn't tell you. Didn't you ask me to build a branch in Huayin before?"

"I asked for a few beggars. I didn't ask you to build a branch."

"If there are several beggars, that's already a branch. What's the big deal of the branch? If you set up a hut and beggars sit down, that's enough to be a branch."

‘Uh.’

‘That's true.’

"So what?"

"I'm here to open the branch in Huayin."

"…do you really have to?"

"What do you mean by that, you punk! I had a hard time getting permission."

Hong Dae-gwang was resentful, but Chung Myung still cast a glum glance.

Hong Dae-gwang, who was crying again at the sign of dissatisfaction, burst into anger.

"Shouldn't you be happy! You should be happy!"

"No…… I don't have to…All beggars are the same."

"It’s not like a normal beggar, it’s different! This is a person who has always been expected in Beggar Union!"

"It seems that Beggar Union is lacking talent then."

"Ughh.”

Hong Dae-gwang clenched his fists.

‘I can't beat him.’

It's a good thing he doesn't get beaten up, let braved against him.

Hong Dae-gwang is fair quite a bit in Beggar Union, but this monster is no joke. Wasn't he the one who used to fight with the elder of Wudang in Sword Tomb back then?

"And now that I see you, are you serious?"

"What?"

"There's a rumor that you won against the elders of the Tang family. It's absurd information, and we're still checking the truth in Beggar Union."

"Oh, that."

"Yes! Is it true?"

Chung Myung looked at Hong Dae-gwang with a sullen face and extended one hand forward.

"…what?"

"No matter how poor you are, eating raw is your daily routine, but shouldn't you pay for it when you get information?  This man didn't give information for free. We need to make sure the deal is clear."

"You'll be struck by lightning! Are you trying to extort money from a beggar?"

"That's convenient. Sometimes you are a beggar, sometimes an informant. Let's just do one, just one. Don't put on two legs and change whenever you need it."

"Keuh."

Hong Dae-gwang made a groaning sound and took out a gourd on his waist and held it out to Chung Myung.

"Here you go."

"What is it?"

"Can't you see? It's alcohol!"

"I like money."

"There's nothing to eat and die for, you bastard! Every time you want an information from Beggar Union, if you want to pay, I'll bring it personally to you!" (Maybe the head himself bring the information signifies something? The raw is "먹고 죽으려 해도 없다, 이놈아! 앞으로 개방에서 정보 받을 때마다 돈을 낼 생각이면 가져다주마!")

"Ei. Who told you that? Hehe."

When Chung Myung grinned, Hong Dae-gwang smacked his lips.

‘Brat.’

Where did this young-faced chubby boy get his inspiration? Why are he so sly?

"You didn't drink it, did you?"

"It's new! New!"

"Thank you for the meal."

Chung Myung opened the cap of the bottle and gulped it down. It was so refreshing and sweet that everyone who saw it was drooling.

"Keuh! That's nice."

"Keh, yet you call yourself Taoist...…."

Hong Dae-gwang quickly continued his words again.

"You have drink it, so tell me the truth. Is it true?"

"Well, I did beat up one of the Elder."

"…It's true. Oh my God."

Hong Dae-gwang looked at Chung Myung in dismay.

‘What the hell with this guy?'

He thought the man was a monster even when he fought Wudang's elder in Sword Tomb, but now he took it one step further and won a battle against the elders of the Tang Family.

If Hong Dae-gwang hadn't seen Chung Myung with his own eyes, he would have blown away the beggar's ear that gives this information.

'I've seen it, so there's no reason not to believe it.'

No, more than anything, that nonchalant look is even more absurd. To this guy, defeating the elders of the Tang family seemed like nothing.

'No, maybe it's actually nothing.'

It was Hong Dae-gang, who was bewildered at how to report this situation to his superiors.

Then Chung Myung said casually.

"But why are you here?"

"Oh! That's right!"

Hong Dae-gwang quickly put strength on his shoulders and looked directly at him and said,

"Hurry up and thank this old man. I brought important information."

"Huh?"

"It's something that Mount Hua will know soon, but...…."

"Well, the stakes won't go up if you take a long time, so just tell me quickly."

"Ugh."

‘It's like he doesn't have a cute corner at all.’

Hong Dae-gwang murmured inside and uttered.

"The Shaolin has moved!"

"…What about it?"

"The Shaolin moved!"

"So what about it?"

"……."

Chung Myung was looking his way with a more sullen face than before. Hong Dae-gwang opened his eyes in disbelief.

"Uh……. Shaolin, who had been holding her breath for a while, moved?”

‘You bastard, don't you know what it means that the Shaolin has moved?’

Just as Hong Dae-gwang was about to add a word, Chung Myung said in a nonchalant tone.

"It looks like they have something to pick up and eat."

"Huh?"

"That's the way they are. Usually, they pretend to be all serious, but when they find something to eat, they come running to the edge of their stomach."

"……."

Hong Dae-gwang's eyes trembled.

He's the only one in the world who speaks of Shaolin in this way.

"So what, how did they move?"

"……It looks like they are going to have a competition."

"What? A competition?"

It was only then that Chung Myung seemed to show interest. Hong Dae-gwang nodded his head broadly and added.

"Yes, I think they are going to have a big Murim competition! You're saying that you're going to blow up a cabbage from Soongsan Mountain" (The raw is "그래. 무림 대회를 크게 열 모양이다! 숭산에서 배첩을 날린다고 하는구나!")

"What's going to open?"

Chung Myung's eyes, which had been calm so far, changed in an instant.

"Mu-Murim…."

"A Murim Tournament?"

"Ye-Yes."

"So, a Duel Competition.”

"That's right."

"...a Duel Competition where all Ten Great Sect participate?"

"It's a Duel Competition held by Shaolin Sect, so of course it is.…."

At that moment, Chung Myung rushed at him and grabbed him by the collar.

Hong Dae-gwang flinched with fear.

"Why -Why are you doing this?"

"Invitation." (The raw is 배첩)

"……Huh?"

"Where's the invitation?"

"……."

Chung Myung's eyes had long since gone completely insane.

"Whatever Murim Competition or whatnot, where is the invitation so that I could participate!"

‘I’m in trouble, you bastards!’

‘You'll pull my hair out!’
