Return of Mount Hua Sect

Where does the bandit make eye contact with me? (4)

Trading.

The faces of those who walked in and out of the street had a low depth of water.

They slowly looked around as if they were noticing, and each time they met someone they knew, they had a small conversation.

“Did you hear the news?”

“… … Hyeongsan?”

"okay. I heard that one of the people who went up to Hyeongsan has lost contact with me today.”

"Ugh. How many times is this?”

Everyone sighed in unison.

“If this goes on like this, something really bad might happen. Even Sang-Hang, who lost contact this time, said that he had commissioned an escort from the Deungcheon Pyo-guk.”

“What do you mean? So, does that mean that we lost contact even though we were escorted by the country?”

“That’s right!”

"Oh my gosh… … .”

When it comes to Deungcheonpyo-guk, it was famous in this region for writing with strength. It is said that even though they escorted them, they could not stop the bandits.

“I haven’t had any problems for decades, so why come now… … .”

“I heard that the bandits from that Daebyeolsan Mountain came to Hyeongsan.”

“Is that the big annex? Those bad guys?”

“Isn’t that so!”

The man looked around with an anxious expression on his face. It was as if he was suspicious of whether there were bandits around here as well.

“This is not yet certain, but it seems that people are starting to disappear one after another, not only in Hyeongsan, but also in other mountains.”

“Okay. What nonsense is this? When someone goes missing, why doesn’t the official come out?”

“When have you ever seen officials do such a thing? These are yangbans who don’t properly handle what’s happening right in front of them, but what’s happening deep in the mountains is, of course, going out without notice!”

“Can I live with anxiety about this?”

The situation was not very serious, so everyone could not hide their anxiety. This was not the end of simply being unable to climb Hyeongsan.

Changsha was a city with Dongdong Lake at the top and Hyeongsan Mountain at the bottom. It was also a place to raise income as a trading base linking the upper and lower parts of the Jungwon, as it did not produce distinctive products or produce good results like other large cities.

However, if the ascenders who climb Hyeongsan are frequently affected, they will have no choice but to avoid business, which inevitably causes great damage to the city.

"Ugh. What will the world be like?”

“Well, say it. When bandits are installed, you need someone to solve them, but all the things they do with the factions are all behind the scenes.”

“Where are these ordinary bandits? If it’s a large annex, aren’t they the ones in the green forest who are famous for their good feet?”

“What kind of scoundrel and what kind of faction is it that you can’t touch big thieves and only catch small thieves!”

"Shh! see this person? Without fear... … . Lower your voice! I'm afraid who will hear it!"

“It’s only us, but whoever listens! As soon as the bandits ran rampant, the outsiders immediately stopped going! Look over there, the gates are open like that, but I can't see a single rat... … . Huh?"

The person who was talking while splashing his saliva noticed something and widened his eyes.

"Huh… … . huh? What is that?”

Even so, the crowds began to appear through the barren gates.

black uniform.

A long sword hung around his waist.

The wide shoulders and strong muscles that are clearly visible even in clothes aroused admiration. Adding to that, the eyes and a firm expression that make the word determination to come to mind immediately seemed to draw people's hearts.

'Who is it?'

'Oh, so many?'

They have a presence enough to make a noticeable difference with just one or two people, but even the number of such people is well over a hundred.

Overwhelmed by the sight, the people with their necks slightly shrunk and only moved their mouths to whisper.

“Doesn’t it look like a mob?”

“Sa, aren’t you a bandit?”

“Is this dude crazy? Where do you see that being a bandit?”

“Ah, no, the forearms are just bandit forearms… … .”

Hearing those words, the one at the forefront of the group looked back with a contorted face. Then the people following them flinched and gently lowered their rolled up sleeves down.

People who had stood at a distance and chattered slowly began to gather.

I was scared, but after confirming that I wasn't doing anything particularly threatening, my curiosity began to outweigh my fears.

And as the number of people increased, people with insight were born.

“What? that pattern! Woah, they are volcanic people!”

"volcano?"

People turned their heads and looked at the person speaking.

“Why does the volcano in Shaanxi come here?”

People did not readily believe it. If it's a volcano, isn't it a clan from Shaanxi, which is more than 1,500 miles from Changsha?

What would happen if there were not one or two students from such a place, but more than a hundred visits to Changsha?

“No, that’s right! Can't you see the plum blossom pattern on the chest over there? There are many sects in the world, but the volcanic group is the only place that uses plum blossoms as a symbol?”

The three men all turned their gazes to the volcanic wave at once again.

Indeed, the red plum blossom pattern was embroidered on everyone's chest.

“Right, right! Volcano Paguman!”

“But why are volcanic waves here?”

People looked at each other.

“Maybe because of the bandits?”

“Is that so?”

“A shaman or Shaolin from a nearby place didn’t even come, but a volcano in that distant place is coming here on purpose? To beat the bandits?”

“Hey, maybe!”

They all looked at the volcanic waves with a face that seemed to believe and doubted, but with a weak anticipation.

“But will that happen? Those scary green bastards... … .”

“Hey! I don't know! Didn't that volcano flatten the noses of the shaman and Shaolin at the Cheonhabi Dance Competition?"

“Is that all? Not long ago, didn't you fight against everyone and win? It is said that the current volcano's momentum is reaching the sky!"

“Yeah, that’s right! It was!”

The way he looked at the disciples of the volcano as they entered the city changed little by little.

And those who receive those eyes... … .

'Hey, straighten your shoulders! shoulder!'

'Straighten your back and walk! Make it look!'

'Tighten your eyes! strength!'

… … He was trying his best to look good even a little bit.

In the first place, no matter how good a product is, if the packaging is poor, it is impossible to receive the right price. In the past, they didn't care at all about that, but now everyone was paying attention to their appearance under the influence of Cheongmyeong.

Thanks to… … .

'Why am I in the front again?'

Baekcheon, who was forced to take the lead, had to receive fiercely pouring gazes alone. Even from behind, there was a lot of nagging and clenching teeth.

“Oh, please straighten your back.”

“… … .”

“Lift up your chin, your chin. I left my face, where are you going to use it? Even in times like this, write Hurry up and show me your chin.”

That dog ... … .

At the touch of Cheong Myung who stabbed his back, Baek Cheon couldn't help but lifted his chin. The hero gun flew slightly, revealing a white and neat face.

Then, there were exclamations of exclamation from all over the place.

"Oh oh. It’s bright.”

“You’re handsome. That's great!”

Although praise poured in, Baekcheon somehow wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“The volcano has come to seek business!”

“You came to fight the green forest!”

Then some people shouted in a slightly unnatural tone. Then the people who were very excited started clapping and waiting with enthusiasm.

Qingming smiled happily.

'The beggars do a good job.'

I'm going to have to serve a lot of food outside today.

Perhaps Hong Dae-gwang clenched his teeth and asked, and the beggars were desperately scattered here and there to agitate. If I had done this on a regular basis, I wouldn't have been criticized for being incompetent.

Receiving the pouring cheers and attention, the disciples of the volcano arrived at the Gaekzan they knew in advance.

Unam once again requested.

“Everyone takes a trip here today. There will be no other guests by chartering the guest cup, but please be extra careful not to cause trouble.”

"Yes!"

The disciples of the volcano stepped into the gaekzan.

Even the appearance was wonderful, and people were chattering about it. At that time, Cheong-myeong, who remained until the end, looked back at them and grinned.

“Don’t worry too much. I'll take care of it soon!"

“Woah ah ah ah ah ah!”

“Long live the Volcano Wave!”

A great shout resounded throughout the business.

“… … Ah. I think I will live.”

"Oh my gosh. I thought warm water would be so good.”

Baek Cheon smiled a little bitterly as he saw the disciples who had become clean and dry in a few days.

'There were a lot of hardships.'

These are the people I used to go with all the time, so it's okay to have this kind of experience because Cheongmyung has been beaten by him.

Still, a word of dissatisfaction... … . No, actually, the complaints were endless, but the way he didn't rebel anyway couldn't be so unique.

Baekcheon smiled softly and opened his mouth.

“Everyone works really hard… … .”

“One hundred thousand years old! A lot of hard work!”

“Until now, I had no idea that Sa-suk had suffered this much from Cheong-myung.”

“Ugh, Sasuk!”

Baekcheon, who was about to give praise, had to close his mouth again.

Guys… … . Don't look at people like that.

Do you feel like you're about to cry?

Come to think of it, it wasn't the time when Baekcheon was worried and strange about them. Wasn't Baek Cheon the most self-proclaimed victim?

He sighed a little.

“Anyway, it’s good to take a break, but don’t get too relaxed thinking that there are other people’s eyes here too.”

“Yes, Sasuk! Don't worry!”

The disciples of the volcano stretched their backs. And again, they started chatting with each other.

“Have you seen those eyes before?”

“I was trembling in my hips.”

As I recalled the gazes I received as I entered the business, all of them were released hazy.

Although the volcanic group didn't have much experience going outside in the first place, I had never had such an enviable gaze when I went out because of occasional work.

In the end, those who did not know how much the status of the volcano had risen were the disciples of the volcanic wave. They also realized how much their position had risen, and they understood why the elders had asked them to think about the prestige of the clan.

'I have to work harder.'

'The shaman and the Shaolin will all be smashed to pieces.'

Seeing the disciples burning with their will, Baekcheon smiled softly.

“I don’t know if I will have to fight tomorrow right away, so take a good rest today. Hold your heart tight!”

“Yes, Sasuk!”

“Don’t worry, death penalty.”

"okay. Eat a lot.”

Finally, after identifying and managing the number of disciples, Baekcheon went up the stairs to the top floor.

smart.

“A hundred thousand.”

“Come in.”

When I opened the door, I saw people gathered in the room.

Five Unja ships, including Hyungwon and Hyunyeong, Unam and Ungeom, and Im Sobyeong.

Baekcheon, who finally confirmed the appearance of Cheongmyeong, sat on the edge of the seat and opened his mouth with a neat posture.

“The disciples are all eating and resting. There will be no major problems.”

“You are in a lot of trouble.”

"By the way… … Do I have to make this noise like this? … .”

When Baekcheon blushed, Lim So-byeong giggled.

“The more flashy, the better. And why are you shy? Beating up bandits for the sake of negotiation is, of course, something to be proud of.”

“… … .”

No, everything is fine... … Isn't that what you shouldn't say?

Yes? Are you a bandit?

Baek Chen let out a deep sigh.

“Then I will prepare to leave tomorrow morning.”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

"Yes?"

At Qingming’s words, Baekcheon turned his head.

“Let’s wait a little while, Sasuk.”

“Are you waiting?”

“Since you’ve been talking so loudly, maybe those bandits will know about it soon.”

“… … .”

“Then why don’t you come in?”

“A bandit here? Isn't this a city? But bandits are breaking in here?”

“I don’t know normally, but there are hostages here.”

“Hey, hostage?”

Baek Chen turned his head. Then the hostage (?) laughed a little shyly.

“I think this is the time when the ransom is the highest in my life. Haha, something I’m proud of.”

I guess that bastard isn't sane.

Oh no. You shouldn't call the Green Forest King that bastard... … .

Leaving Baekcheon in chaos, Cheongmyeong looked at Lim So-byeong.

“Will you come?”

“Of course he will.”

Lim So-byeong shrugs her shoulders.

“Go Hong is a very quick-tempered person. We cannot afford to wait patiently for action from this side.”

“Come on, wait a minute.”

Baekcheon shouted a little urgently.

“When bandits invade the city, there is a mess! Then we have to go outside.”

“Ttttttttttttttt. That gentleman is still naive.”

"Yes?"

Qingming clicked his tongue.

“At the most, I tried to increase my reputation by beating bandits, but how do people view it when I bang in the mountains?”

“… … .”

“If you beat him in front of you, the rumor spreads well and it’s much more provocative!”

Baek Cheon looked at him in despair and closed his eyes tightly.

'Where are the volcanoes going?'

Primitive Heaven.

That bastard is on the run, dosa! Where do you put your thunderbolt and use it?

“If you’re going to do it, it’s good to be certain. Let's wait a little bit. Something will happen in a few days.”

However, something unexpected happened.

Go Hong's personality was much more urgent than he expected, and their intelligence had already reached the point of business.

“It’s in here, right?”

At the foot of the mountain, looking at the gates of Jangsa, Dong-woong, a powerful fighter, smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

“I don’t know who these crazy people are, but I’ll tell you what the big annex is!”

The nokrimdos who followed him also squealed and laughed in a hoarse voice.

"let's go!"

"Yes!"

In the dark, the shapely eyes blazed coldly.
