Episode 605 If you want to do it, you have to be sure. (5)
“Here it is.”
“Oh my gosh, I don’t know how to express my gratitude…” … .”
Yunjong smiled as he saw the old woman holding his hand.
“Don’t say that. “This is all property stolen by bandits.”
“still… … .”
As the old woman wiped her wrinkled eyes, Jogeol stuck her head out and said.
“lol. grandma! Please remember that this is from the Hwasan Sect!”
“You be quiet.”
“… … “Nun.”
Yoon Jong glanced at Jo Geol with his eyes, then held the old woman’s hand tightly again.
“Then let’s go.”
“oh my. Even if I eat… … .”
“no. “It’s really okay.”
Then, he tried to dissuade the old woman from giving him anything and walked backwards out of the house.
The old woman waved for a long time without going into the house until they had turned and were far away.
“Where next?”
“I said it was in front. “We have to go about five miles further.”
“Hmm.”
Yoonjong slowly turned his gaze to look at Jogeol’s face.
Following Cheongmyeong’s instructions to win over public sentiment from the ground up, they were currently visiting houses outside of Wuhan and distributing grain.
Not only the two, but also other disciples of Huashan were pairing up and pulling grain carts one by one touring small villages around Wuhan.
“by the way.”
“yes?”
Yoonjong said with a grin.
“For some reason, you work without complaint. “If it were normal, I would have been saying a lot about whether I really had to do something like this.”
“no way. “I’m not some kind of Cheongmyeong guy.”
Jo Geol scratched the back of her head sheepishly and glanced back at the old woman’s house, which was now far away.
“actually… … .”
“huh?”
“I still don’t know. “What is consultation and why do we have to do this?”
“… … .”
“It’s called an agreement, but isn’t this just something Cheongmyeong does to screw up the shaman and gain fame? “It’s just a good thing for the volcano.”
Instead of answering, Yoonjong only nodded slightly.
“So, I don’t think I’m doing anything great… … .”
Jo Geol, who was looking ahead again, blurted out with an embarrassed expression on her face.
“What can I say… … “Something tickles me when I hand out grain and see people’s happy faces.”
It seemed like he wasn’t getting used to these things, as he was coughing softly.
“… … “It’s a bit like that.”
A faint smile appeared on Yoonjong’s lips as he started walking again.
“That’s enough.”
“… … yes?”
“I don’t think there is necessarily one form of consultation.”
“… … .”
“Like you said, it would be acceptable to assume sacrifice. But just because you don’t sacrifice yourself for others doesn’t mean it’s okay.”
“It is difficult.”
Jo Geol tilted her head as if it was difficult to understand Yoon Jong’s words. Yunjong decided to elaborate a little more and tell us what he had to say.
“Did you just say this is good for the volcano?”
“yes. First of all, I think… … .”
“Then isn’t it better?”
“yes?”
Yoonjong grinned.
“If it’s good for us and it’s good for others, there’s nothing better than that. Did the volcano benefit from this incident and the civilians suffer?”
“That’s not it.”
Of course not. On the contrary, since the grain was distributed, the people of Hubei also felt good, and there was nothing bad about it.
“The agreement achieved by sacrificing myself will be infinitely brighter and more valuable. But in the end, my sacrifice cannot last forever. “If that sacrifice continues, ultimately what I can do will inevitably decrease.”
Yunjong’s soft face was like a warm breeze on a spring day.
“In my opinion, the most correct arrangement is one where my benefit leads to the benefit of others. In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to have more consultations for a little longer?”
“ah… … .”
Jo Geol looked at Yoonjong with new eyes.
After hearing this, I realized that this was in line with what Yunjong said in the past in front of the Beast Palace.
– If the glory of Hwasan makes people living in the world more comfortable, all of Hwasan’s disciples will be able to proudly boast of that glory. However, if it only stays in the glory of Hwasan, Hwasan will just become a non-sect that can be replaced by another sect at any time!
The cry from that time still remained vivid in Jo Geol.
‘It turns out the death penalty wasn’t just empty words.’
They don’t show off when they do something, and they don’t take the lead and raise their voices to do something themselves. However, Yunjong silently performed the given task for a long time, and at the same time, he also maintained the Tao within him.
‘The glory of the volcano is the glory of the world.’
Those are big words.
But when it came out of Yoonjong’s mouth, it didn’t feel so grandiose. He will truly accomplish all that he is capable of, one by one, and achieve the Tao in his heart.

As honest as a cow.
“… … “You can’t win?”
“huh?”
“No, nothing.”
Jo Geol chuckled.
It was something I couldn’t understand at the time, but now I feel like I understand a little bit. Of course, it’s still a bit ambiguous.
but… … .
“It’s a bit disturbing that the person who is creating the volcano that you mentioned is none other than Cheongmyeong… … .”
“… … .”
Then Yunjong’s soft face became trembled.
“Is Cheongmyeong thinking like that when he does this?”
“… … “Probably not.”
“Then isn’t there something wrong with this?”
“Well, isn’t the result what’s important?”
It was something Doin should never have said, but Jo Geol didn’t want to blame Yunjong for that.
‘It’s a strange thing.’
That’s what Cheongmyeong always does.
There’s no way he has a warm heart for others, so everything he does is either for Hwasan’s benefit or to screw over other factions.
However, in the end, there were many cases where what was done with that narrow-mindedness helped or brought benefits to others.
‘Of course, the noblemen who had their souls stolen by that guy will foam at the mouth when they hear it.’
But anyway, isn’t that the case in terms of results?
Cheongmyeong solved poverty in Yunnan and also solved the crisis in the North Sea. And now we are helping Hubei.
If you look at his actions, it seems like… … .
uh?
Jo Geol’s face slightly distorted as she felt something strange.
“… … By any chance, death penalty.”
“huh?”
“As time passes, someone in the distant future will look back on the volcano’s actions.”
“If you see it?”
“Don’t you think that Cheongmyeong is a hero with a sense of common sense like no other in the world?”
“… … .”
Yunjong’s body became stiff as a stone.
“S-No way… … .”
“Oh, no, think about it carefully. How will future descendants know how shitty Cheongmyeong’s personality is and what a rotten person he is? In the end, what remains are achievements and accomplishments.”
“… … .”
“But if you look at that alone… … .”
“stop. Until there.”
This ideal seemed difficult for even Yunjong of the world to accept.
“Horrible… … . No, let’s stop thinking about useless things and quickly finish what we were doing.”
“… … .”
Seeing Yoonjong moving forward, shaking his head as if he didn’t want to even think about it, Jo Geol let out a small sigh.
‘That guy is a hero.’
What will happen to the world… … .
* * *
One after another, empty carts passed through the main gate of Geumseon Sangdan.
Hwasan’s disciples lined up the cleanly emptied carts on one side of the upper stage and rushed towards the phenomenon.
“Elder! “I gave it all away and came back.”
“okay. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“We also visited all the villages we were assigned to.”
“Yes, yes. Good job.”
As Hyeon-sang grins, Hyeon-young says with a sullen expression.
“It’s not like they took it off or sold it somewhere, right?”
“You should be quiet.”
“just a joke… … .”
“Even if I tell you to be quiet.”
“… … yes.”
Meanwhile, behind the two elders who were looking at the disciples with their backs turned, Geumseon Sangdan owner Song Tae-ak was deep in thought.
‘It’s strange.’
The more I looked, the more strange this sect became.
Those who are usually elders are involved in every aspect of the clan’s affairs. All of the factions he had observed so far were like that.
However, the elders of this Hwasan sect just silently watch the work of their disciples and encourage them.
‘This isn’t really easy.’
Since Song Tae-ak was also in the position of running a top company, he could not help but know how difficult it was to quietly trust and watch the affairs of subordinates without speaking out.
No, it was just elders somewhere.
The first generation of disciples who are watching after the elders are not interfering with the disciples by telling them what to do. Even though this is the age when they are most energetic. In fact, as a result, the young disciples seemed to feel more responsible and motivated.
‘Maybe this is the driving force behind Hwasan’s sect becoming famous throughout the world.’
Even as Song Tae-ak was thinking this, empty carts continued to enter the top.
“Tsk!”
Jo Geol, who returned last, approached the cart and shouted bravely.
“Everyone is back!”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The phenomenon smiled.
‘Everyone’s faces are full of pride.’
It was the same when they had their first real battle and defeated the bandits in Green Forest, but the emotions on their faces now were a little different from the emotions they felt back then.
‘I’m glad.’
Even though they have overcome the difficult training and gone through brutal battles, Hwasan’s disciples still have a great sense of joy in helping others.
The phenomenon was very happy and proud of that fact.
“So, is it almost over now?”
Hyeonyoung nodded in response to Hyeonwon’s question.
“We distributed all the grain we had prepared. “Everything that needs to be done in Wuhan has been completed.”
“hmm.”
The phenomenon lightly nodded and looked to the side.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“yes.”
“Can we go back to the volcano now?”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong scratched his cheek and grinned.
“Yeah, whatever. “There’s nothing more to do now.”
“Then when is a good time to leave?”
“Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“tomorrow?”
Hyeonsang tilted his head at the unexpected answer.
Of course, everyone was probably tired from all sorts of things, so it wasn’t strange to rest today and leave tomorrow. However, the Cheongmyeong he knew was not someone who would look after his students’ situation with such a warm heart.
Time is money, sloth is a sin, and he can run to the volcano with all his might, but he’s leaving tomorrow… … .
“Is there something else on your mind?”
“It’s nothing like that… … .”
Cheongmyeong smiled with a slightly puzzled face.
The faces of Baekcheon and his companions were distorted with anxiety, as if they were still hiding something.
‘that… … It’s definitely the face you make when you’re plotting.’
‘Now, just looking at that face makes my heart shrink.’
‘What are you doing here again?’
‘That’s a bad idea now. ‘Bad idea.’
Cheongmyeong, who had no way of knowing their anxiety, simply smiled and answered.
“I thought that since I had dragged it out for so long, maybe some customers would come.”
“customer?”
“yes.”
The phenomenon tilted its head.
You’re a guest. Who would come to Huashan from a place other than Shaanxi Island?
“Who did you call?”
“hmm. “I’m not sure whether to say yes or no.”
“Yes?”
As he continued to talk nonsense, Hyeonsang’s eyes slowly became narrow.
It was then.
“Sangdan lord!”
Someone urgently kicked in the front door. Song Tae-ak asked.
“What happened?”
“Wow, this is a big deal!”
“huh?”
“So, the customer… … “A guest is coming!”
“You’re a guest. “Who are you talking about?”
And Song Tae-ak, who was about to ask why he was so urgent when he heard that a guest was coming to the top, dropped his jaw and opened his mouth at the next words.
“Woah, shaman! The Independents are coming!”
The voice was almost like a scream. Everyone’s eyes turned to Cheongmyeong, as if they had made a promise.
Cheongmyeong grinned, receiving everyone’s attention.
“It came sooner than expected. Giggle, giggle. “It looks like shaman Jangmun’s butt is on fire!”
“… … .”
no… … .
What else is this bastard going to do… … ?
The faces of all Hwasan disciples turned white in an instant.
