Episode 696 Have you heard of plum blossom inspection? (One)
Nanchang, Gangxi Province.
Namchang, the city representing Gangseo, is not that big compared to cities representing other provinces.
Compared to Wuhan in Hubei Province, located just above, Hangzhou in Zhejiang, and Hefei in Anhui, located to the right, Nanchang’s reputation is somewhat ambiguous.
But even so, saints are saints. Even today, people were coming and going in the downtown area of Nanchang without any time to step.
And the same was true of Baekhakru (白鶴樓), the largest main building in Nanchang.
The people who filled the top floor of Baek Crane Tower were heavily drunk and busy talking about something. Although it is a thousand miles away from Hanam, which can be said to be the center of the central region, the most talked about topic among people here was by far about Cheon Woo-maeng.
“so!”
A man explained something with a red-hot face and spit flying out of his mouth.
“And the volcano is walking inwards! Haha, that’s really it!”
“oh!”
“How was it?”
The people sitting around listened to the man with bright eyes.
The person sitting in front of them now was someone who had traveled all the way to Shaanxi and witnessed the opening ceremony of Cheon Woo-maeng with his own eyes. I can’t help but be interested in each and every word.
“I don’t know if it’s because I’m from the central region, but it was definitely something different. Should I say it feels classy?”
“Hey, you man! No matter how well Hwasan is doing these days, can it compare to the Beihai Ice Palace or the Nanman Beast Palace, which are members of the Saewoeogung Palace? “I heard there was even a Sacheondanga there!”
“Oh no, tsk tsk! “Were you there?”
“… … “That’s not true.”
“If you haven’t seen it, don’t say anything! “Have you ever been someone who deals with volcanoes before I go there?”
no.
The person in front of them, Jinpyeong (陳萍), was someone who usually underestimated Hwasan. Didn’t she make it a habit to say that no matter how long Hwasan flies, he will eventually fail to enter the old file room and remain as a mediocre sect that will eventually fall?
“You won’t know unless you see it with your eyes!”
“Because of how amazing it was… … .”
“The rumors going around in the rivers and lakes don’t even fully describe the volcano! People, think about it. As you say, are the Sichuan Tang Dynasty, the Beihai Ice Palace, and the Nanman Beast Palace all ordinary sects?”
“yes.”
“Would such a sect mindlessly give up the position of leader and recognize Hwasan as the upper seat of Cheonwoomaeng?”
“Uhm. After listening… … .”
The person who was speaking passionately with a raised voice snatched up the glass and poured it into one mouthful.
“Ugh! “My throat is burning!”
Then he grabbed the bottle of alcohol. But it was empty, with no alcohol left. He frowned a little embarrassed.
Then, before he could say anything, people around him quickly ordered additional drinks.
“Jumsoy! Look, Jeomsoy! What are you doing! Get the drinks out here quickly! A good one! And they also serve a suitable cold dish!”
“yeah! yeah! “I’m leaving now!”
Only after the new drink arrived did the man open his mouth again, filling the glass with a satisfied expression.
“Anyway, if you had seen the volcano with your own eyes in Shaanxi, everyone would have agreed with me. Hwasan is a bigger moon than I thought. Of course, the number of people may be a bit lacking, but if that had been an issue, the volcano’s reputation wouldn’t have pierced the sky like it does now.”
“yes. yes.”
“You could say that Huashan is already the loser of Shaanxi, but from what I see, it doesn’t seem like it will stop at that level. We’ll see. With Cheonwoo-maeng, the volcano will gain wings! “The day will not be far when Hwasan will be called a greater sect than the old group.”
“oh… … . “Like that.”
“Well, if you listen to what’s being said, that rumor isn’t so absurd. “Isn’t it said that even Jang Il-so of the Maninbang visited to keep Hwasan in check?”
“That’s amazing. Jang Il So… … .”
Everyone sitting at the surrounding table was now listening to their conversation.
Some people just pricked up their ears to save face, while others even turned their chairs around and openly showed interest.
“Look here.”
At that time, one of those who had been listening quietly opened his mouth.
“I’m sure there were guests from the old room there. How were they?”
“How was it? “What does that mean?”
“Did you show any signs of displeasure?”
“iced coffee.”
The man chuckled as if he understood what I meant.
“I didn’t see any sign of that.”
“ah… … . Is that so?”
The man who asked the question tilted his head as if he was surprised.
“From the point of view of Gu File Il Bang, that Cheon Woo-maeng would not have been very happy.”
“You’re saying this because you don’t know. Even if that were the case, it wouldn’t have been easy to show it like that there. “That’s how great Cheon Woo-maeng’s momentum was.”
“iced coffee.”
Jinpyeong grinned.
“I don’t know, but there will probably come a time soon when I will have to pay attention to Cheon Woo-maeng’s thoughts.”
“no way. Still, does that make sense?”
“ha ha ha. It’s common sense to think that way. But think about it. “When I first heard the name Hwasan, who would have thought that they would banish Jongnam and become the losers of Shaanxi?”
“… … “That’s right.”
Everyone shut their mouths.
I certainly couldn’t refute this statement. Among the nine factions, no one thought that Jongnam, who had a high reputation, would be disgraced by Hwasan, who was on the verge of extinction, and would die.
Of course, there were complicated circumstances, but they were not informed of those circumstances and there was no need to pay attention to them.
“Jong-nam was like that too, and there’s no way he wouldn’t do it just because he’s a former person. Jongnam is probably afraid to release the seal by now. Haha!”
It was that moment.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Someone hit the table hard.
The middle school students who had been talking all the time at the loud noise were startled and turned their gaze towards one place.

A middle-aged man with a grim look who was sitting in a corner drinking quietly was glaring at Jinpyeong with his eyes wide open.
“Let’s hear it, let’s hear it…” … “You’re so good at talking about your mouth being open!”
Jinpyeong flinched at the bloody force and closed his mouth like a clam.
‘Who, who…’ … .’
He just moved his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man’s clothes. There was a mark engraved on the shoulder of his easy-to-move military uniform. Soon, Jinpyeong’s face began to turn white.
‘Joe, Jongnam… … .’
Of course, it has been a long time since Jongnam entered Bongmun.
Now that he has made his mark, it is impossible for Jongnam’s disciple to stalk Kangho. However, the only thing that was visited was the head temple. Jongnam’s lay disciples are traversing Gangho without any connection to the main temple’s main gate.
As if to prove Jongnam’s high status, the number of his family members was also considerable. Unfortunately, Jinpyeong has now met one of Jongnam’s relatives right in front of him.
“Who is the loser of Shaanxi?”
The man asked with a fierce attitude.
Still, the people gathered on the top floor of Baek Crane Tower were confident in their abilities, but in the face of that ferocious force, they could not speak and only swallowed dry saliva.
“I tried to endure it as much as possible! Jong-nam can’t solve the seal because he’s worried about Hwasan? “Look into my eyes and say that again.”
“Ah, my goodness, Daehyup. It’s not like that… … .”
Jinpyeong was sweating and trying to calm himself down, but the man’s face showed no signs of calming down. Then his man’s companions spoke.
“Big brother, calm down. “Why are you so angry at me for saying something so ignorant?”
“So you’re saying we should just leave that wanton snout alone?”
“Of course I don’t mean that. Words cannot be picked up once they are spoken out. Of course, you have to pay the price, right?”
However, even the man’s companions, who were expected to stop him, slowly got up from their seats.
Those who finally recognized who they were shouted with slightly tired faces.
“… … “It’s the Three Swords of Taihaeng (太行三劍)!”
“Why are they here?”
Taehaengsamgeom.
These are swordsmen who focus their activities on Mt. Taehaeng. They were from a secular family in Jongnam, and they were people who spread the power without necessarily creating a new secular family.
They were known to have a lot of pride as part of Jongnam’s family, so it was natural that they could not bear it since they heard such words to their faces.
The man standing next to the person who got angry first spoke to Jinpyeong. He was a man with a cold expression.
“Did Jong-nam say he was afraid of volcanoes?”
“… … Well, that’s not what I’m saying… … .”
“If not, why did you say that?”
“… … .”
The man clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry.
“You seem to have forgotten that you have nothing to say even if your head is cut off if you talk carelessly about things that you cannot be held responsible for in the Gangho. What should I do? Will you let go of that wanton tongue? Or will you give him his wrist?”
“Great, great! Soin went out of his mind for a moment and started talking nonsense. Please… … .”
Jinpyeong, who had become thoughtful, asked for forgiveness, but the three men’s faces were cold.
“If you said something outrageous, you will have to pay the price.”
As the men slowly approached, Jinpyeong closed his eyes in despair.
‘Oh, it’s ruined.’
It cannot be said that the Taehaengsamgeom were great experts, but they were not someone Jinpyeong could dare face.
And the saying that he is not a great master is only when compared to the masters from Jongnam’s hometown. Aren’t these people no different from the Grim Reaper to ordinary strongmen?
Those people were so angry and pressured me that it was brave enough not to urinate on the spot.
“Please, save me… … .”
It was the exact moment when Jinpyeong fell flat on the floor and asked for forgiveness.
“… … “I don’t think it’s that wrong, but is there really a need to scare people like that?”
I flinch.
The three people walking towards Jinpyeong stopped. They all turned their gaze towards one place.
A man wearing a white long robe was sitting by the window, drinking alone.
One of the three swords of Taihaeng stiffened his face and asked quietly.
“You said it wasn’t wrong?”
“It had to be a little bit excessive. But what can I say if you block my mouth from even saying such things?”
“… … .”
“Only those who are inherently dishonest silence others and control them. “Isn’t that why you are threatening that person now?”
The faces of the three swords of Taehaeng suddenly turned cold.
“Who the hell are you?”
“I don’t really have a special title to show off because I’m an unknown minor.”
“How dare a rookie with no reputation say something like that?”
“haha.”
The man laughed briefly and slowly stood up.
“Just because you have fame, wrong does not become right, and just because you don’t have fame, there is no reason to see and tolerate injustice. At least that’s how it should be if you’re holding a plum sword.”
“Plum sword?”
A cold aura settled on the face of the three swords of Taehaeng.
It was only then that I noticed the flower pattern engraved on the man’s chest.
Of course, they are lay disciples and it has been a long time since they came down from Jongnam, so they have never seen the plum blossom pattern on the volcano with their own eyes. But is there any other sect in the world today that uses flower patterns as its symbol?
“you… … You bastard! “Is this guy from the volcano?”
A smile appeared on the man’s lips.
“What does it matter? The important thing is that I have no intention of just overlooking your injustice. Step away from here. Otherwise, you will have to see how sharp my sword is.”
“This guy!”
visor! Grab it!
The Taehaeng Samgeom unsheathed their swords at once.
Then the man shook his head as if he had no choice.
“Please don’t blame my sword for being cruel.”
Slurp.
A sword was slowly pulled out from the man’s waist.
The inside of the base immediately began to fill with tension.
