Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 582

”Let’s go, bandit!”

At the voice he heard, Dong Wong looked at the mountain road in front of him with blurred eyes.

In any case, he is a bandit.

Of course, it wasn’t Daebyeolsan Mountain, which was like his front yard, but he was still a bandit, so once he entered the mountain, it was normal to be energized.

But now he’s facing a bitter sadness that he’s never experienced in his life.

Squeeze!

The ropes around his body were tight.

Dong Wong, who was in the position of guiding the road while being tied up with a rope, looked back with the saddest eyes.

“What?”

“…….”

Chung Myung asked bluntly, asking what the problem was.

“……No.”

Of course, there’s a lot to say. There were too many.

But none of the words seemed to work for him. He didn’t know Chung Myung for a long time, but in that short time alone was not hard to figure out what kind of species this man was.

“What do you keep looking at?”

“N- No.”

“By the way, even bowing for three lifetimes to thank for saving your life is not enough, but do why you keep rolling your eyes? What? Is the rope uncomfortable? Do you want me to cut your arm so I don’t have to tie you?

“It’s, it’s not uncomfortable at all! It’s as comfortable as being tied up since birth!”

Dong Wong replied desperately.

There was nothing he couldn’t do if he wanted to cut this rope. But Dong Wong knew. That this rope is the line of his life now. As soon as he cut this rope with force, it was clear that the devil would rush to cut off his neck.

‘How did I end up like this….’

He vowed he would never pee in Mount Hua’s direction for the rest of his life if he could survive here.

“You walk very slowly. Are you rebelling?”

“The, the road is a little rough here. I’m afraid someone will end up falling behind if I go too fast…..”

“What?”

“It’s, it’s that I’m ignoring Mount Hua’s disciples…….”

“No, before that. What?”

“Yes? The, the road’s a little rough here…….”

Chung Myung glanced back at the disciples of Mount Hua Sect with a puzzled expression.

Sure enough, the other disciples who listened to Dong Wong’s words were tilting their heads in unison.

“Then this is a mountain road?”

“I always yawned whenever I went into the mountain.”

“I don’t think this is a rough road. Does that mean there’s going to be a rougher road now?”

“…….”

Dong Wong’s cheeks trembled.

‘I don’t think they’re bluffing.’

From the look on their face, they really didn’t seem to understand what he was saying.

Then one thing crossed his mind.

‘Ah, these yangbans are of Mount Hua, aren’t they?’

Mount Hua Sect is a sect in the ‘Mount Hua.’ Five Mountain (오악(五岳)), who is known to be tough even in Jungwon. Among them, Mount Hua is famous for being the toughest.

They’ve spent their whole life in Mount Hua, where even birds rest, so it wouldn’t be strange to look at Hyung Mountain as a back garden for a drink.

‘Then why do these guys look more like bandits!’

No matter how hard he think about it, it seemed that it would be more suitable for him to be a Taoist and for these guys to be bandits.

“Is it too harsh?”

“……No, it’s not. My thought was too short. I’ll try to get there as soon as I can.”

“Don’t just talk, move!”

“Yes!”

As Dong Wong started climbing rapidly, Chung Myung followed him with a short click of his tongue.

“Chung Myung-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Can we trust this yangban?”

“It’s okay.”

When asked by Baek Cheon, Chung Myung grinned and said.

“He doesn’t look smart enough to play tricks.”

“Well, it certainly seems so.”

After hearing this, whether or not Dong Wong shed blood tears in front of them, the two continued the conversation calmly without paying any attention.

“And apparently, Daebyeolchae is at the top, and now we’re stopping by another Stronghold first. So there won’t be any trickery.”

“Why?”

“Why not? Even within the same mountain, will the bandit bastards with no loyalty risk their lives for the other Stronghold? If they had the will, they wouldn’t be a bandit.”.

“Hmm. So does he.”

Im Sobyong coughed low in the continuous demeanor of bandits.

“Dojang, it’s a little embarrassing to say this myself, but there’s loyalty among bandits…….”

“If you were kicked out after being stabbed in the back by a subordinate, please be quiet.”

“…Yes.”

When Im Sobyong was sullen and shut up, Chung Myung clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, the bandits are trying to get everything. They don’t even know the subject.”

Hearing the muttering voice of Chung Myung, the Elders and first-class disciples shook their heads at the same time.

Now they are going to subdue Stronghold which is at the top level even in Nokrim. Even those who have thick bones in Kangho should sweat from tension.

‘Is that guy not nervous?’

‘Anyway, that guy.’ (‘아무튼 난 놈은 난 놈이야.’)

Chung Myung looked relaxed as if he was going downtown to buy alcohol. It wasn’t even just Chung Myung.

Hyun Sang’s head slightly turned back.

With firm and determined faces, the disciples of Mount Hua were seen following from behind. They have changed significantly compared to when they first entered Changsa.

‘They’ve gained confidence.’

A position makes a man, and a reputation raises the shoulders.

The cheers from Changsa must have been the first encouragement they had ever received. Of course, some, including Chung Myung and his group, have received enthusiastic cheers in the Murim Competition, but haven’t most of the others experienced the first time that someone has so passionately respected them?

It was nothing depending on how you think, but in the end, people gained confidence from such trivial things and gained confidence in themselves.

Hyun Sang looked at Chung Myung and thought.

‘I know him, but I also don’t know him.’

In general, he ignores everything trivial and rushes to see the results only, but in this case, doesn’t he take care of even the smallest details to instill confidence in the disciples?

A child-like man who is not old enough sometimes shows an old mentality that even he who has accumulated enough years of experience cannot match.

After years spent with Chung Myung, Hyun Sang was still discovering a new part of him.

‘Anyway…’

It was very positive that those who would soon have to fight a real battle had confidence in their hearts.

Isn’t it true seeing the disciples who are not discouraged despite the harsh situation of entering enemy territory?

Although it is not known exactly whether Chung Myung planned it with this in mind.

“Hoho.”

It has always been a proud thing to watch the disciples grow up. When this is over, he will gradually step back from the front line to support them….

“Oh, hurry up and go! What are you waiting for?”

“…….”

His mind returned to reality thanks to Hyun Young, who poked his back with a frown on his face. Hyun Sang smiled pleasedly at Hyun Young.

‘Absolutely not until this guy steps down.’

‘I’m sure the sect will become a mess! Whew!’

“Chung Myung-ah.”

“Yes?”

Chung Myung looked back. Hyun Sang then said with a stiff face.

“I heard that if we keep going like this, Jogungchae will be the first place to come out.”

“Yes, it is.”

“If we arrive, we’ll have to fight immediately. What are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“There must be a strategy.”

“Ah, strategy.”

Chung Myung grinned as if he had finally understood.

“Elder, have you heard of this?”

“What is it?”

“Know yourself (知彼知己), and a hundred battles you shall never lose (百戰不殆)!”

“Yes, yes. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you’re not in danger!”

As if Chung Myung had said the right thing for the first time in a while, Hyun Sang nodded.

It was refreshing to hear such normal words come out of his mouth.

“If we can correctly identify the enemy and build up our forces accordingly, there will be no difficulty in dealing with them.”

“Right! That’s right! Our Chung Myung has a knack for the art of war!”

If those who studied military strategy heard it, they would lie down with their heads wrapped up, but this was Hyun Sang’s honest feelings.

However, Chung Myung’s words that followed undoubtedly shattered his expectations.

“But we don’t know our enemies.”

“… Yes?”

“We don’t know what Jogungchae or Hyolrangchae is. They don’t know either. How can we know?”

“…….”

Chung Myung shrugged his shoulders.

“I will plan a strategy when I know the enemy, but I don’t know the enemy, so I don’t have a strategy to set up.”

“…….”

‘Why is that?’

‘Huh? Why is that so!’

“Y- You’re just gonna go and fight recklessly without any strategy?”

“Ei, Elder-nim.”

“Yes?”

“Strategy has nothing to do with it. It’s for the weak side that’s struggling to deal with the strong side. We’re stronger, so why do we strategize? Just run into them and swept them away.” “…….”

‘Well, it sounds like bullshit, but when you think about it, it seems to be true…’

It seemed that there was no one in the world who could match Chung Myung in making bullshit plausible.

But Hyun Sang opened his mouth to somehow persuade him.

“No, but there has to be a countermeasure…”

It was then.

“There it is.”

“Whoa…….”

‘No. Why already……’

Unfortunately, however, in front of Hyun Sang’s eyes, a wooden fence taller than a person’s height was unfolded.

“It’s a Stronghold.”

“Bandit Stronghold.”

“Anyone can tell it’s a bandit den.”

Chung Myung clapped his hands as he looked at the wooden fence.

“Keueu. It’s touching to see them trying to maintain their identity even when they come to another person’s mountain.”

The wooden fence made from cutting down a thick tree looked like it had been made recently. As soon as those who didn’t know how long they would stay here arrived, they cut down trees and built a temporary Stronghold.

“Huhu.”

“Cut what?”

Also, Chung Myung frowned when Im Sobyong approached and smiled as if he was proud.

Im Sobyong stretched out his chest and said.

“It’s Confucius Hierarchical Order (군군신신부부자자(君君臣臣父父子子)). Even though they are a bandit, seeing them faithful to their role made me smile because it was truly beautiful.” (Qi Jinggong asked Confucius how to govern the country. Confucius said: “A ruler should be like a king, a minister should be like a minister, a father should be like a father, and a son should be like a son.” The social changes in the Spring and Autumn period destroyed the status of the hierarchy at that time, and the killing of the king and father happened frequently. Confucius believed that this was the main reason for the country’s turmoil. Restore this hierarchical order, and the country can be governed.)

“So the world is beautiful when the bandits are bandits?” “…….”

“Isn’t that crazy?”

Chung Myung looked at everyone with his tongue clicked as if he had seen the most pathetic thing in the world.

“Elder-nim.”

“Hum.”

Hyun Sang sighed as he alternately looked at Chung Myung and the Stronghold with a bitter face.

‘There’s no way to do this.’

They’ve already pushed right under the enemy’s nose, and what strategy would they use here?

“Keueu, will this be okay?”

“Ei. Elder-nim is very weak, too. What’s the big deal about clearing bandits? It’s enough to just throw them all away.”

The other disciples were also snorting with heated faces as if they were actively sympathizing with him. Hyun Sang had a throbbing headache as he watched the disciples frantically holding the sword.

‘…… Someone might think you guys are here to rob.’

Eventually, he let go of his concern and nodded.

“Be careful not to hurt everyone.”

Baek Cheon, who received Hyun Sang’s gaze, nodded softly.

“Yes.”

Baek Cheon and Chung Myung’s gazes intertwined in the air.

“Right away?”

“Yes.”

“Who’s the lead?”

“Well, it’s up to Sasuk, but…….”

Chung Myung grinned and swung forward.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to start off with a splendid start?”
