Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 548

The cart raced briskly on the ice.

As they returned to Mount Hua, not anywhere else, the disciples forgot their hardship and dragged the cart with joy… or they should have been.

“Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!”

“Aigo, I’m gonna die!”

“Sa- Sasuk! I think it’s five times heavier than when we depart.”

“…… Incomparably heavy.”

Kwadeudeuk!

It was so heavy that the ice surface cracked open as they passed. It seemed that if they slowed down even a little, the ice surface would break in an instant and the cart would sink to the bottom of the lake.

Meanwhile, a nasty voice kept coming from the cart.

“Don’t rest! Who told you to rest! If you rest, you sink! Run before the ice breaks!”

“…….”

‘What did the ghosts do? Why aren’t they taking him?’

Mount Hua’s disciples swallowed bitter tears as they heard Chung Myung’s rant, which became less and less humane as the days passed.

“No, what the hell…… What did you load!”

Of course, if it was stacked at that height, it was natural that it would be heavy even if it was just clothes. However, even while considering all that, the weight they feel now is over the limit.

Then Jo-Gol said in a dying voice.

“That……Before we set out…….”

“What?”

“Seol So-baek Clan Leader brought and loaded the rest of Hancheol left in the Ice Clan…..”

“Huh?”

Baek Cheon’s pupils shook.

“No, that’s something we will trade in the future! We didn’t bring money and pay for it, what is he giving us already?”

“That…… He said a deal is a deal, and a gift is a gift……. Transactions of Hancheol can be calculated in the future……”

“…….”

Baek Cheon lost his word and looked up. Seol So-baek’s face, smiling brightly over the clear sky of the North Sea, seemed half transparent.

‘Clan Leader.’

‘Thank you very much.’

‘Thank you very much for your consideration…..’

Baek Cheon desperately realized that someone’s goodwill might not be a pleasure to the recipient at times.

“The damn cart is filthy sturdy!”

He should have expected this kind of situation since So-baek said he made a wagon out of Mukcheol. How can humans live by looking only one inch ahead?

“Don’t be so angry, Baek Cheon Siju.”

At that time, Hye Yeon, who was pulling the cart from the front, smiled as he turned his shining head.

“It’s hard for us now, but wouldn’t it make Mount Hua’s finances better if we went back to Mount Hua with these gifts? When I think about it like that, it diminishes my anger, and nothing is difficult about it.”

While Hye Yeon smiled brightly without wrinkles, Baek Cheon smiled brightly.

‘You are a disciple of Shaolin Sect, this yangban.’

‘Why is he so happy about Mount Hua Sect’s financial improvement?’

It was such a natural question. But looking at Hye Yeon’s bright smile made him speechless.

‘I keep thinking that something is fundamentally going wrong, but he looks so happy…….’

“Oh, hurry up and drag it!” “Kaaah! Then you can get off and drag, too!”

“No, it’s cold.”

“Who isn’t cold? Who’s hair grows like a bear!”

“Huh? Wheels! The wheels are falling out! Wheels!”

“Argh!”

Baek Cheon clenched his teeth and pulled the cart.

Some people might wonder why they are going on an ice surface foolishly. But the speed of running in the snow field and running on an ice surface was different.

They know it’s dangerous but Mount Hua’s disciples have chosen the fastest way.

“Guys! Drag it! Pull it faster!”

“Keueueuh!”

“I’m dying, really! How can it be harder than when we come here!”

Although they were out of breath and their mouth was full of complaints, the cart ran forward cheerfully.

“Keueueuh.”

“… I’m dying.”

The disciples of Mount Hua, who set up tents, fell into the tents one by one.

It felt like their whole body was creaking because they were tired.

The joints were dislocated and their muscles twisted. It was only natural that they could not rest even for a moment to avoid falling from the ice surface and kept running.

“I- I can’t straighten my back.”

“I can’t stretch my knees…….”

“So- So-so, please a salve…….”

“…So-so is dead.”

“…….”

Having used up all their strength for the first time in a while, they all groaned as one with the ground. And…….

Chwaaak!

Chung Myung, who pushed the tent aside and entered, shouted loudly.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“Come on, you punk!”

Unable to bear it, Baek Cheon threw the bag he held at Chung Myung.

Then, before Chung Myung could do anything, Baek-ah jumped on his shoulder, grabbed the bag, and began to untie them.

Kiiiiiik!

Then he burst into anger like a fire.

“……why is he so hot-tempered?”

“He said it’s not food.”

“…….”

‘Anyway, this human and beast.’

‘I really hope they all die.’

“Beef jerky… Take out beef jerky and eat it. You know, what the Ice Clan gave us…….”

“Ei. Why beef jerky all day. Tsk. I have to be patient.”

Baek Cheon covered his face as he saw Chung Myung grumbling and walking out of the tent.

“Yoon Jong-ah.”

“Yes?”

“… I’ve never felt more sorry for myself for being so weak.”

“Just accept that, Sasuk. What are you saying… Isn’t that what you’ve been through so far?”

“I’m afraid I’ll continue to suffer for the rest of my life… … .”

“…….”

‘Isn’t that a bit terrifying?’

Yoon Jong, who sighed slightly tiredly, raised his head. And he looked at the tent made of thick leather and said, “But I’m glad there’s a tent.”

Baek Cheon nodded as if he agreed.

“The experience and wisdom of the locals are unbeatable.”

Thanks to the thick tent that the Ice Clan took care of, they were able to avoid snow and wind during the break. If it weren’t for this, the underworld world would have really shimmered before their eyes by now.

Then Jo-Gol, who was wriggling while lying down, asked.

“Sasuk. We don’t have to go back this hard, do we? Let’s take it easy……”

“No way.”

“Why?”

Baek Cheon shook his head with a firm face and replied.

“General Han said it’s time for the North Sea to slowly end its winter. As the days pass, the ice will gradually thin out and not bear that cart’s weight.”

“…….”

“For now, we have no choice but to leave the North Sea as soon as possible by pulling it with all our might.”

Then the devastated Jo-Gol lay down and muttered.

“Somebody’s life can’t be comfortable for a while.”

He had secretly gained confidence in fighting with Magyo, but the reality was that he was exhausted from dragging the cart.

“Poisonous bastard.”

“Throw him into the ice lake and he’ll eat the fish!”

Now that they all understood Chung Myung well, they had no choice but to know that that mountain-like luggage was never Seol So-baek’s intention.

Even on the way back, they could feel Chung Myung’s malice that he would not leave them comfortably.

But there was a real problem…….

“Listen carefully, everyone.” Everyone’s eyes poured on Baek Cheon, who was sitting up before they realized it.

“It must be hard for everyone.”

“Yes, Sasuk.”

“I don’t usually whine, but it’s really hard this time.”

“Are you now?”

“Well, Sahyung, stay still. You can’t tell read the situation…..”

“This punk?”

Jo-Gol, who was kicked to the side by Yoon Jong, groaned and pouted.

“It’s really heavy.”

Then, as if everyone had waited, they all agreed and mumbled. Baek Cheon nodded as if he knew enough about that.

“Yes, I know it’s hard. But we have to think carefully, too.”

“… Yes?”

“Unlike when we came here, isn’t our destination clear now? We have to arrive as soon as possible so we can rest as soon as possible.”

“…….”

“Rather than struggling for a few more days, if we work hard and run, we can get to Mount Hua quickly and rest! So stop complaining and just shut up and run! Do you understand?”

Everyone smiled at the words and looked at each other.

‘He’s out for it, too.’

‘There are two Chung Myung now.’

‘I shouldn’t hope for something.’

‘I should never be like that.’

They were Mount Hua’s disciples who reflected on whether they had changed while looking at Baek Cheon, who had lost a lot of things as a human.

* * * “Keuuuaaaa!”

“It’s a land!”

“For God’s sake, meadow, meadow!”

After many twists and turns, a vast meadow was finally laid before their eyes.

Everyone cheered and jumped while rejoicing. Even Yoo Iseol, who was usually expressionless, stepped on the soil she hadn’t seen in a long time with an excited expression.

“This view! As far as my eyes can see! Not white!”

“How long has it been since I’ve seen such plain land!”

“I’ll go back to Mount Hua and throw them out of Nakanbong Peak if anyone says they like snow!”

“…So-so, that’s a little…….”

Clear tears flowed from their eyes.

At first, the view of the North Sea, which seemed like a superb view, became boring after experiencing it for a long time. They were sick and tired of it.

Now, just looking at the world without snow makes their heart warm…….

“No, it’s not that my heart is warm, it’s really warm.”

“I think I can take off this leather coat now.”

“It’s still cold, you punk!”

The night of the meadow is famous for its cold, but isn’t everything in the world relative?

This place was like a midsummer for those who came through the snowstorm of the North Sea.

“Don’t shove your leather coat anywhere and keep them separately! Don’t lose your temperature at night!”

“……Sasuk, you nag a lot.”

“Noisy!”

Baek Cheon shouted out. However, even his voice, which seemed to be calm, showed signs of excitement.

Having escaped the North Sea means they are more than halfway arrived. Most of all, they liked that they didn’t have to run on those rotten icy, snowy roads. “Don’t relax. As I have said before, nomads in the meadow do not welcome the people of Jungwon very much.”

“No one welcomes us whenever we leave Jungwon.”

“… That’s what life is all about.”

Baek Cheon laughed bitterly.

“Anyway, we want to avoid a pointless collision, so move quietly. As soon as we cross the meadow, we’ll see Shaanxi, so you can go talk as much as you want then.”

“The more you nag…….”

“This bastard?”

Jo-Gol, kicked by Baek Cheon, screamed and fell out. Seeing how he persevered and said everything he had to say even after being beaten like that, it seemed that his nature could not be helped.

The meadow in winter was almost a wasteland, with its name overshadowed. At first glance, it was a desolate scene, but the faces of the disciples of Mount Hua Sect running in the middle of it were full of bright smiles.

“We won’t slip!”

“Our feet are on the ground!”

“Sago! Sago! The wind blows, but my bones don’t get cold!”

“This is the land where people live.”

Chung Myung, who poked his head out of the luggage, laughed awkwardly as he listened to their conversation.

“Did I push them too recklessly?”

Soon, they might like the fact that the sky is blue…….

In that strange joy, the cart ran and ran.

Only white land could be seen in the North Sea, and here there was only ocher-colored land.

Even the vast plain without a single low mountain made people infinitely bored..

“Sasuk.”

“Yes.”

The sun has gone down completely. Baek Cheon looked around and said.

“Let’s settle down in a suitable place and spend the night. We might get in trouble if we overdo it for no reason.”

Those who travel long distances should be careful when the environment changes. This is because the changed temperature and situation take away physical strength and make the body damp.

“Suitable place…….”

It was then.

“Huh? Sasuk.”

“What?”

“There’s something up ahead.”

“……Yes?”

At Yoon Jong’s words, Baek Cheon opened his eyes slightly and looked over.

The flat land was endless, so even small things were clearly visible. Crouching in the distance were small tents.

“Are they nomads?”

Baek Cheon murmured and was slightly troubled.

‘What should we do?’

Of course, it would be safe because it is a place where people rest, but he wanted to avoid meeting nomads if he could. Because he doesn’t know what kind of problem they’ll be going to face.

“Shall we avoid them?”

“Sasuk.”

“Yes?”

At that time, Chung Myung said in a nonchalant way at the back.

“What about water?”

“…….”

“In the North Sea, we could just scoop up the snow, but it’s going to be hard to get water for a while from now on. I think there’s a pond in front of that tent. Shouldn’t we replenish the water first?”

“It sounds good.”

Baek Cheon nodded convincingly.

“Yeah, let’s head over to that camp for now. Instead, we should not provoke them as much as possible.”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go.”

Mount Hua’s disciples dragged the cart toward the camp.

The camp, which looked almost like a dot, came closer and began to reveal its shape.

At that time, Baek Cheon, who was looking at the tent, opened his mouth with a subtle face.

“Chung Myung-ah.”

“Hmm.”

“You think so, do you?”

“Right?”
