Return of The
Mount Hua – Chapter 268. Do you want me
to show you what a real accident is? (3)
"Hehe. Right? As expected, Bangjang understands us well!"
"Bangjang!" (Like yasugung ju and tang gaju, I will use bangjang to
refer bop jeong.)
"How come…."
Shaolin's monk looked at Bop Jeong in surprise.
But Bop Jeong still asked with a soft face.
"Is there anything wrong with Sodojang's statement?"
"……they insulted Shaolin!"
"It wasn't Shaolin who was insulted. Wasn't it your little pride?"
"……."
Bop Jeong shook his head slightly.
"Sodojang is right. The reason why the disciples of other sects are
gathered here is to fight each other. How can we blame them if the timing and
method were not what we wanted?"
"But weren't the disciples of Hainan gotten hurt?"
At Gong Hwa's words, Chung
Myung smirks.
"No, then Hainan Sect should argue directly, I don't know why Great Monk
is angry. Hainan is not even a sect of Shaolin. Does Hainan Sect don't even
have a word to say?"
"……."
Gong Hwa was so shocked that he forgot to blink and looked at Chung Myung.
‘What kind of a man is that?'
All the people around them heard that.
So from now on, if Shaolin blames Mount Hua by protecting Hainan, Hainan Sect
will be seen as not being able to solve anything like this and become an
eight-year child who borrows Shaolin's hand.
Even if it's not true at all, how could a rascal who likes to make up words
miss such a good prey?
Looking at Chung Myung, who drove the situation this far with just a few words,
Gong Hwa suppressed his anger.
Sadly for him, however, Chung Myung's words are not over yet.
"N-No. Since we're talking about it, let's ask them ourselves. Hey, you
guys!"
"……."
Chung Myung turned his head towards Hainan Sect’s disciples. Then everyone
flinched reflexively.
"Are you going to take revenge after being beaten offstage with your own
hands, or are you going to whine to Shaolin to beat us because you've been
beaten?"
The faces of the Hainan
disciples turned white.
There's only one answer they can give if he talks like that.
It's better to be beaten and be a weakling who plans for the future than the
little man who leaves his revenge to others.
Those who claim to be disciples of a prestigious sect... … . No, it is a very
natural choice for those who live in Kangho.
"O-Of course we'll take revenge with our hands!"
"If only I had a sword, things like you are nothing!"
"You'd better be prepared! I'll never let you off the hook!"
Chung Myung looks at Gong Hwa again with his eyes wide open.
"Heard that clear?"
"……."
Thanks to that, Gong Hwa became a mute who has eaten honey.
If the person involved comes out like that, then Shaolin has nothing to
say.
Chung Myung said in a nonchalant way.
"When kids play, they can have a fist fight, and then they'll get some
nosebleeds. It's not a big deal. Don't just ask the Sect Leader to come
out...When did Shaolin become like this? Isn't it so? Jangmun Bangjang? (Jang
mun is sect leader and bangjang is chief/head. So it was like head leader. For
me at least.)
"Hoho. It's not wrong."
"Bangjang!"
Gong Hwa called Bop Jeong anxiously with a face that seemed to be indignant.
However, the moment he saw a soft smile on the face, he had no choice but
to lower his head without saying a word.
"Let me clear Shaolin's position."
Bop Jeong looked back at Hyun Jong and said,
"The fight in Shaolin's precinct is definitely something to be condemned,
but the people who gathered for the Sparring Competition are bound to be
nervous. It is Shaolin's responsibility to take proper care of them, so I
apologize to Hainan Sect and Mount Hua Sect in the name of Shaolin."
Bop Jeong clasped his hand and
bowed deeply.
Hyun Jong freaked out, and Hainan's disciples froze at the spot and were at a
loss.
"Don't do this, Jangmun Bangjang! I don't know where to put myself if
Bangjang is like this."
Bop Jeong smiles softly again.
"The kites built up by each sect can be unraveled at the Sparring
Competition. Even if not, Shaolin will not be involved anymore, as this is a
matter for each sect to solve."
"Um."
Hyun Jong let out a sigh.
"However."
Bop Jeong alternately looks at both sides and continues speaking.
“If something like this keeps happening ahead of the Sparring Competition,
everyone will inevitably become fierce, so I ask that everyone show behavior
that suits their status and dignity.”
"I'm sorry…….."
Bop Jeong put his hands together lightly.
"Sure."
Soon after, as he turned around and walked slowly, Shaolin monks, who was
staring at Mount Hua, quickly followed suit.
"It's Shaolin indeed."
"That's great!"
Those watching at the neat handling nodded.
Anyway, everyone was relieved that the situation was finished without any
problems. If this had spread so much, wouldn't it have been in a situation
where they didn't know how big it would become?
"Shaolin is Shaolin after all, huh?"
Chung Myung murmured and grinned.
‘Anyway, it worked out well.….’
Pok!
At that moment, someone put their hand on Chung Myung's shoulder.
Chung Myung slowly turned his head.
Flinch.
And he saw it.
Hyun Jong with an expression he had never thought of before.
"…Follow me."
"……."
‘……That's weird.’
‘This is Shaolin Temple. Why is there Asura?’
‘Hoho...’
Gong Hwa, who followed Bop Jeong at the right as he moved slowly, opened his
mouth in a discontented voice.
"Bangjang, why do you handle things like this?"
The other monk could not hide their dissatisfaction on their faces, perhaps
thinking the same.
"They insulted Shaolin. I can't believe those children are fighting in
Shaolin's precinct. Isn't this a complete insult to Shaolin?"
"They should have been punished!"
Bop Jeong's face slowly changed.
It's not that soft face. With a face full of majesty worthy of the head of the
Thousand Years Shaolin, he spoke coldly.
"Then did you mean that I should have said that it's okay to use a sword
in front of so many people with Shaolin's permission, but it's a sin to punch
without permission?"
"Tha-That’s...."
"Well."
"Foolish, indeed foolish. I can't believe you can't even catch up with
that kid's heart."
Bop Jeong showed dislike in a low way.
'It was like a blade.'
There was a sharp blade hidden in the playful words.
‘What if I wasn't there?'
Gong Hwa probably sent them away. If that was the case, he would have been able
to catch him gently, but... ….
'A word would have leaked out
that Shaolin persecuted other sects by claiming their authority.'
He had already warned the writer of Mount Hua.
It is said that envious eyes will surely follow a sect with good momentum.
Literally, Shaolin is the most sought-after sect in the world.
This would have been a good moment for those who were ready to bite Shaolin art
every opportunity. And in the end, Shaolin would have earned the name of a
hypocrite in exchange for capturing those who could not be punished properly.
"Hoho."
Bop Jeong smiled low.
‘Does this mean that he has seen this far and thus created such a situation?
That little boy?'
After a moment in thought, he opened his mouth.
"Gong Hwa."
"Yes, Bangjang."
"Do you know anything about that Chung Myung child?"
"Um."
The answer came from monks other than Gong Hwa.
"Mount Hua's Chung Myung would be Mount Hua Divine Dragon, which is called
the world's most powerful rising star in Kangho."
"Mount Hua Divine Dragon?"
"Yes, I heard he beat Jin Geum Ryong of Southern Edge Sect and won a match
against Wudang. If include rumors that have yet to be verified, he has won
against Mu Jin of Wudang in a secret fight and the sparring against Tang Gaju
of the Sichuan Tang Family...…."
"How dare you tell such nonsense to Jangmun Bangjang!"
"…I'm sorry."
The speaker flinched and closed his mouth at Gong Hwa's reprimand.
"Even if you say the name of Mu Jin from Wudang, the head of the Sichuan
Tang Family is going overboard!"
"It's just a rumor……."
"Stop."
Bop Jeong stopped the conversation between the two.
'Mount Hua Divine Dragon.'
The name sticks firmly in Bop Jeong's mind.
"I heard that Mount Hua are in good spirits these days, and there's a kid
like that on top of that. He is certainly a great figure. With a child
like that, of course, the children around him will be attracted."
"…Although it was the result of fighting without lifting a sword, the
unilateral defeat of Hainan's disciples is an indisputable result.
Maybe……."
Gong Hwa blurs the end of his speech.
Bop Jeong knew what he was trying to say, even if he didn't hear it out.
'Maybe difficult things will happen to Shaolin, too.'
Perhaps Gong Hwa probably wanted to tell about the events that Shaolin and Ten
Great Sect when they expelled Mount Hua.
Mount Hua would of course have a grudge against the Ten Great Sect.
However, if such a position of Mount Hua rises and threatens the Ten Great
Sect, of course, there will be the talk of a comeback.
That's something no one wants, and no one is comfortable with.
But…….
Bop Jeong looked back unknowingly. Far away he can see the disciples of Mount
Hua.
'Mount Hua.'
His sides sting.
Gong Hwa was worried about it, but for Bop Jeong it was only a small thing.
Rather deeper.
The previous original sin weighs on Bop Jeong.
"How long do we have to keep our palms open to cover the sky?"
"Jangmun Bangjang"?
"No, it’s nothing."
Bop Jeong shook his head.
'It's a thing of the past.'
It's not even his time, it's a few generations ago.
"Gong Hwa."
"Yes, Bangjang."
"Don't take your eyes off Mount Hua and that kid named Mount Hua Divine
Dragon."
"I will."
"Let's go."
Bop Jeong hastened his feet a little.
But his steps, unlike a while ago, left a heavier footprint.
* * *
"……."
"……."
There are so many words in the world that can weigh on people.
But now Chung Myung is learning something new fact.
'I think it would be better to talk.'
Hyun Jong is sitting in front of him three steps on while he was on his knees.
Hyun Jong didn't say a word and just stared at them as soon as he arrived. And
that's been going on all this time.
Thanks to this, Chung Myung is Chung Myung, but the other disciples were almost
on the verge of fainting.
Baek Chun's back was soaked in sweat.
‘You'd rather beat us up, Sect Leader!'
‘I'd rather be beaten by Chung Myung.'
'Sca-Scary....'
They’ve been doing that for a long time.
Hyun Jong, who was staring at Chung Myung's group without saying a word,
finally twisted his mouth and spoke.
"I……."
"……."
"I won't ask for anything but to please just don't make an
accident...…."
"……."
"I just asked for one thing and left for a while."
Blue light flashed within Hyun
Jong's eyes.
Chung Myung grinned at the sight.
‘You're just a human, a human.’
When he first saw Hyun Jong, he was a kind and gentle man, but in his eyes,
Hyun Jong now knows how to live like that.
"You can't help but get into trouble! Hey, you punks! Arghhh!"
In the end, Hyun Jong lashed in with foam in his mouth.
But his will was not fulfilled because of the Elders, which grabbed his arms
from both sides.
"Calm down, Jang Moon in!"
"Oh ho. Why are you so angry? Take a deep breath. Deep breath. Huup,
haaa!"
"What kind of a deep breath is that?"
"Wa-Wasn't it like that?"
"Arghhh! You punk! You damn punk!"
Hyun Jong kicks Chung Myung. However, his feet were only wagging pitifully in
the air thanks to the Elder’s tight grip.
"Nowhere else! In Shaolin! In this Shaoliiiin! I can't carry my face
around because I'm ashamed! Ashamed!"
"Huh?"
Then Chung Myung tilted his head as if he didn't understand.
"Isn't that a bit strange? We beat the kids of Hainan Sect, and I think
it's something we should be proud of! Now, please give your shoulders some
strength...!"
"Arghhh!"
Hyun Jong finally took off his shoes and threw them at Chung Myung. Chung Myung
sneaked away from the flying shoes and laughed.
"Hehe. You don't have to compliment me like that. As a disciple, I did
what I deserved."
"Get ouuuuut!"
"Really?"
"N-No! Don't go out! No, don't ever go out! Don't go anywhere!"
Hyun Jong pulled out his hair with a blue face.
"Hngg, we shouldn't have come here. It's the first day we come
here. How can I handle what's going to happen? Ancestor, dear ancestor, please
give me strength."
Chung Myung lifted his head slightly, looking at him praying toward the sky.
He doesn't know if the ancestor they think is the same but...….
'This is good enough, right?Cheon Mun Sahyung?'
- Please shut up that mouth.
‘Ei’
‘That's harsh.’
‘Kikiki.’

Or
Become one of my Patreon for access to 31 advance chapters. I update 2 chapters a day on there. But i could also skipped a day when things on my side became hectic. There will be mass release on end of the month, not more than half of advance chapter though, but this will be a routine at the end of the month. Mass release IS ON the web, not Patreon.
Perhaps outsiders use 大師 and the temple's monks use 方丈 to respectfully address bop jeong. Anyways, because it's also for my own purpose to remember all the terms...
Take with grains of salt.
Sodojang - 'So' is either 小 or 少. Dojang is 道長, and it is the term for calling the ascetics. 小 is little, small. 少 lesser. I can't tell which So it is so I'm guessing.
Gaju - 家主, head of clan/household.
Kangho - 江湖. This word is popularized in CN martial arts novels. It sort of equates the society/world where all the martial artists are living in. Gu Long, one of novelists who made the genre popular, wrote, "人在江湖,身不由己,情仇难却,恩怨无尽".
'When one is in Jiang Hu (kangho), one's body is not their own, love and revenge is hard to put down, and there is no end to gratitude and hatred'.
If you guys ever see someone ever washing their hands in a golden pail in martial arts stories, it means 'I'm washing my hands off Jiang Hu.'
Jangmun - Might be 掌門. Representative Leader of a sect. Well, even I google in CN, they actually compound the two terms together, 掌門方丈...
