Episode 686. I look forward to that day. (6)
“… … A thousand horses… … .”
In the heavy silence, a voice like the groans of Tanggunak leaked out.
“Do you know what you are talking about?”
“Of course I know.”
“He is already dead. “More than a hundred years ago!”
“Yes. I know.”
The person who cut off his head was none other than Cheongmyeong. If Qingming doesn’t know that fact, who will?
“How can a dead person come back?”
Qingming slowly turned his head and looked at Xue Xiaobai.
It was thought that it would be better to hear this matter from Seol So-baek’s mouth. Seol Sobaek, who realized Cheongmyeong’s intention, silently nodded his head.
“Let me tell you in more detail what happened in the North Sea.”
Seol Sobaek’s slightly nervous mouth slowly began to open.
After a while.
After hearing the explanation of the situation, Tang Junak and Meng Xiao’s faces turned cold. Although I had heard that Cheongmyeong fought against Ma Jiao in the North Sea, this was the first time I had heard such detailed circumstances.
“The Heavenly Demon… … “It is resurrection.”
Meng Xiao frowned and muttered. It was a voice like the howl of an animal.
“Is such a thing really possible?”
“yes. As everyone knows, the Heavenly Demon that appeared in Ganghosa was not just one.”
“yes. “The word ‘Cheonma’ is ultimately a symbolic word that refers to the leader and leader of the Demonic Cult.”
“yes. however… … .”
Cheongmyeong sighed for a moment and said.
“Maybe it’s not just a title. “It may be that the Heavenly Demon has been repeatedly resurrected.”
“… … No, that’s ridiculous… … .”
Meng Xiao shook his head as if no matter how much he thought about it, such a thing could not happen.
Of course, Cheongmyeong understood such swear words. If he had not experienced resurrection like this, he would have dismissed it as nonsense and moved on.
But Cheongmyeong has no choice but to believe this fact.
Something he personally experienced.
The first marriage ceremony, for which the Demonic Bishop sacrificed everything, failed.
And above all… … .
– Remember, disciple of the volcano. This is not the end. The devil will come back. At that time, the world of magic will truly open up. A magic that no one can stop… … .
‘The last words of the Heavenly Demon.’
At the time I heard it, I thought it was nothing more than a curse from someone who was about to die. But thinking about it now, it was also meaningful.
“If you ask me to provide a clear basis, I honestly have nothing to say.”
“hmm… … .”
“I’m not sure I’m right either. But I think the Heavenly Demon has already been resurrected. Then things like the past will happen again.”
Tang Gunak gently bit his lower lip.
‘That terrible thing happened again…’ … .’
Jeongma Daejeon.
Demonic Cult War.
There were so many names for that war.
Generally, major wars are given a clear title. However, as many people avoided mentioning it because they did not want to be reminded of the terrible war, it ended up being named Junggu Nanban.
A war so horrendous that it’s hard to even talk about it will break out once again?
“The Heavenly Demon… … . okay. It will be so if the Heavenly Demon returns. Because it wasn’t like the Demonic Cult was completely destroyed in the first place. “The demonic cultists who lost their Heavenly Demon simply retreated and disappeared like the ebb of the tide.”
“We burned down the volcano once before.”
“hmm.”
Tang Jun-Yeok looked at Qingming with a bitter face and asked.
“So what do you think we should do?”
“Do you believe it?”
“Of course.”
I thought it would take a long time to persuade. She thought that she might not believe it until the end and go back. However, Tang Gunak’s words were calm and without doubt.
“Everyone here believed in you and gathered together. “If we don’t believe you, whose will we believe?”
“… … .”
“Sacheon people do not give trust easily, but once they give trust, they do not doubt. “There is no reason for you to falsely threaten us.”
Meng Xiao also nodded after hearing those words.
“I think the same.”
“… … .”
“It was such an absurd story that it was hard to believe… … What the Lord of the House said is correct. “If it is the words of the volcano god dragon, then of course there must be a reason and basis.”
Seol Sobaek quickly opened his mouth.
“Of course I believe in the North Sea. “Because I have experienced something.”
Cheongmyeong stared at the three people and then turned his gaze to Hyeonjong. Then Hyeonjong smiled and nodded his head.
“Continue.”
Cheongmyeong was somehow immersed in a strange feeling.
In the past, he was incomparably stronger than he is now. However, his words and actions were not trusted as they are now.
Even at the end of the war, there were still those who blindly revered his strength, but there were only a few who firmly believed his words.
Even in the volcano where he was buried.
But now, the heads of each faction, who should be more cautious than anyone else, are saying that they believe his words without any clear basis.
Cheongmyeong did not know exactly what he had shown in this new life that made them say this. but… … The trust these people gave me filled my heart.

“… … What do you think was the reason for creating Cheonwoomaeng?”
Cheongmyeong calmed down his slightly trembling voice.
Everyone answered silently.
“Trade routes extending from the North Sea to Yunnan, expansion of influence based on the western part of Central Plains. In this way, each sect fills in each other’s shortcomings and provides an opportunity for further development.”
“There is also the possibility of overturning the existing system itself, which is represented by the old faction and the five generations.”
“Saeweoogungdo.”
Everything was correct. But Cheongmyeong spoke slowly.
“Sure. but… … Actually, to me, there is no reason for anything. “There is only one real reason.”
His eyes shone brightly.
“Surviving.”
“… … .”
“There will be a big wave. A huge wave that has never been experienced before and is incomparable to anything else. It’s impossible to survive alone. “We can survive only by hugging each other, holding on to those who are trying to push away, and gritting our teeth and holding on.”
Then Tanggunak muttered.
“That big wave… … “It’s a magic school.”
“yes.”
“It could be a fire started by Jang Il-so.”
“Yes.”
The firm voice of Cheongmyeong was heard clearly in everyone’s ears.
“It’s the same with anything. The existence of Cheonwoo-maeng could actually add fuel to the fire and make the waves higher. But that doesn’t mean we can just sit there and ignore it. Because we’ve already been through it. “What price did those who were complacent and complacent in the present have to pay?”
It was not only the volcano that suffered from the scars of that war.
Each of the four sects here suffered great damage from the Demonic Cult.
“Being able to entrust one’s back to others is not just a symbolic statement meaning that clans help each other. “We will really have to fight back to back in the near future.”
Tension swept over my son-in-law.
They all knew very well. The fact that Cheongmyeong rarely says such serious things out loud. That is why the weight carried by these words is greater than ever.
“You need that kind of determination.”
Meanwhile, Cheongmyeong realized the change in his words.
In fact, when I first came up with the idea of Cheonwoomaeng, I tried to get a shield that would shed blood instead of a volcano. But now, he no longer thought of these three factions as mere shields.
Even in his mind, Cheonwoo Meng had literally become a blind group. The volcano, the one who will protect him, and the friend he must protect.
At that time, Meng Xiao stroked his chin and said.
“I thought all I had to do was create an alliance and make a profit, but things are getting a little complicated.”
He laughed out loud and then looked at Cheongmyeong with stern eyes.
“When are you thinking about it?”
“It won’t take a few years. No, maybe tomorrow.”
“A few years… … . No, it might be within a few days… … .”
Meng Xiao calmly repeated his thoughts and nodded clearly.
“Then there is only one thing we need to discuss now.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“It is not my job to look into the distant future and run the business. That is the role of the leader and leader of the party. There is one thing I have to do. “What does the Beast Palace need to do right now to survive that big wave?”
“Hmm.”
“From this moment on, I will concentrate on strengthening the power of the Beast Palace. “First of all, the priority is for the Beast Palace to become stronger.”
This may sound a little selfish. However, Meng Xiao’s next words made even Cheongmyeong keep his mouth shut.
“If we don’t, it will just be a repetition of the past. In the past, the Nanman Beast Palace was saved by the volcano and the plum blossom sword lord! So this time!”
He looked at Hyeonjong and Cheongmyeong with burning eyes.
“The Beast Palace will protect the volcano.”
Cheongmyeong bit his lip slightly without saying a word.
It wasn’t meaningless.
What he had done in the past and what Hwasa had protected was not meaningless.
“The same goes for the North Sea Ice Palace.”
“… … .”
Seol So-baek said with a stern face.
“It is difficult to say that the North Sea Ice Palace dares to protect the volcano. I know best that our power is not that great. but… … .”
The eyes were very firm and upright for those of a child.
“Binggung will be the first to fight and the last to retreat. At least you will prove that your morale is not inferior.”
But Hyeonjong, who was listening, shook his head.
“It’s not about protecting it.”
“… … .”
“We are fighting together. “That’s what brothers are like.”
“Then the conclusion is simple.”
Tanggunak smiled and opened his mouth.
“The strong survive. That is an unchanging truth. However, from now on, rather than blindly repeating training, we need to train in preparation for actual combat.”
“I think we need to prepare for connections between each clan.”
“also… … .”
Meng Xiao added.
“The more people there are, the better. Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to find a place to join the Cheonwoo Alliance.”
“oh my! What are you looking for so far away! here! “The green forest is here!”
Meng Xiao, who glanced at Lin Xiaobyeong, said indifferently.
“To a place you can trust.”
“When you look at me, you just feel trust… … .”
“The thief should be quiet.”
“… … yes.”
Lim So-byeong, who had become sullen, became quiet again. At that time, Meng Xiao spoke with a slightly serious expression.
“You need to keep one thing in mind.”
“yes?”
“If the terrible thing that is the invasion of the Demonic Cult happens again, it is certain that this time it will be several times more severe than the last war. In the past, the Maehwageomjon blocked the Heavenly Demon, but this time, there is no one who can.”
“… … .”
“If the Heavenly Demon returns to its past inaction… … Maybe we will have to fight a losing battle. Because he is a heavenly horse.”
Everyone nodded with dark faces.
The best of all time.
One who is human but beyond human.
His name is engraved like a seal on those who live in Gangho. How can one be carefree in front of that name? But at that time, Cheongmyeong spoke calmly.
“But I stopped it once.”
“hmm?”
“So we will be able to stop it this time too. “That’s because he is a genius.”
Meng Xiao smiled slightly at those words.
‘It’s a volcano…’ … .’
In the past, the Beast Palace was saved by the Plum Blossom Sword Zone of the volcano. And now, somehow, I had a feeling that I would be saved by this small volcano swordsman.
“Of course you should!”
“You have to keep that in mind. Brothers dying together has no meaning. “Living together is meaningful.”
“… … .”
It seemed like a strangely weighty statement to say that it was just meant to boost one’s will. Everyone focused on Cheongmyeong’s words.
Cheongmyeong stretched out his hand forward.
“So let’s make sure we survive.”
Tanggunak smiled and covered his hand with his own.
Meng Xiao also put his thick hand on top of him without delay.
Seol Sobaek’s still small hand came up, and Hyunjong’s wrinkled hand was placed on top of it.
Lim So-byeong, who was watching secretly, smiled awkwardly and put his hand down and placed it under Cheongmyeong.
“Not dying together.”
“We survive together.”
Strength went into our joined hands.
“certainly!”
After a long period of preparation and communication, it was the moment when Chun Woo-maeng finally found the true meaning and started relying on each other.
