◈ Plum blossom screening (1)
a few days ago. The heart of volcanic waves. Jaha Palace.
In the hall that served the same role as the main hall of other clans, two men were sitting alone.
The person at the head of the table was an old man with gray hair, and one was a man in the middle-aged to old age range whose hair had started to turn gray.
“The kiru of Daerye County were attacked?”
“… … That’s right. “Sabaek.”
The middle-aged man answers the old man’s question in a tense tone.
In a relationship where superiority and inferiority were clearly visible to anyone, the old man called the middle-aged man by a title that did not fit the relationship.
“Jang Mun-in, who do you think was responsible for this?”
Yes.
The man who gave up the head table to the old man and bowed his head was the master of the Hwasan Sect, the original owner of Jaha Palace. It was Hwa Myeong-gyun (華明均) Jinin.
However, despite being a long-time writer, he answered carefully, like a student whose homework was being tested.
“They are making it seem like they are thieves who have nothing to do with us, but just like what happened at Daegeumsangdan Bunta, it is seen as a move aimed at us blatantly. “Sabaek.”
“Hmm. “There was someone who performed martial arts in the shape of a monkey, so there was talk that they might be thieves from southern Manchuria?”
“I think that might also be a trap to deceive us. “In the first place, there was only one thief who imitated an animal, and the other two used completely different martial arts, so it seems like he wasn’t the only one.”
“If so, which part is most suspicious?”
“Of course the most suspicious thing would be Jongnam, but they don’t have the strength to do something like this. So, Shaolin or shaman. Openness or Sacheondanga seems to be the most likely. In particular, several disciples from Shaolin visited Jongnam recently, so wouldn’t they be the most influential?”
“You are wise as expected.”
As the old man, whom he called Sabaek, shook his head and spoke, Jang Mun-in internally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though I was over 50, it was a shackle I couldn’t escape.
No, I was unable to escape because I came to Hwasan when I was ten years old and suffered for over forty years.
The countless pains I suffered when I couldn’t properly answer the old man’s homework.
Because he became a great disciple with the best skills in the Hwasa Bae, the oppression that naturally followed him was engraved in his mind.
Now that he has become a long-time writer, it seems like he can press down the issue with the power within the sect, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.
Because it was that old man who made Jin-in Hwa Myeong-gyun into a long-time scholar of Hwasan.
The old man, who enjoyed omnipotent power in the volcano despite not being a long-time writer, stroked his beard and asked.
“If so, what do you think would be good for Jang Mun-in?”
Since he had already had a similar experience while working as a long writer, Jinin Hwa Myeong-gyun instinctively realized this. This question is a trap.
“The Soje is still foolish and cannot easily make a judgment. Please grant me the wisdom of Sabaeknim so that I can properly lead Hwasan as a Jangmunin.”
“Hehehe. How can I understand this? “It’s because the man named Jang Mun-in of the Great Hwasan Sect has such a weak will.”
The old man spoke as if criticizing him, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.
The old man wanted Jinin Hwa Myeong-gyun to be his puppet forever.
“Isn’t it obvious why they moved like that? Just like we did, you may think that it’s enough as long as you don’t get any evidence. So, all we have to do is grab even the slightest evidence.”
“You mean evidence?”
“That’s right.”
Unlike before, he was an old man who spoke in a soft tone and answered questions politely and consistently, as if he were dealing with a long letter.
“Well, please send out more disciples. There is no need to catch them, just follow their traces.”
The situation has already sent countless disciples to the front lines against Jongnam.
If disciples were sent out to Daeryeo County and Hwaeum County, Hwasan’s defenses would inevitably become insufficient.
However, even though he clearly knew that fact, Hwa Myeong-gyun did not say anything out loud.
It was because the moment he said those words, he knew clearly what answer Sabaek would give.
‘Jang Mun-in, do you mean you don’t believe in the Tao?’
It was a question with two meanings.
One is when he sent the disciples away. The question is whether he implicitly suspects that Sabaek might be targeting him.
Another question was whether you don’t trust Sabaek’s skills.
In fact, the first intention was a question that had nothing to do with Hwa Myeong-gyun’s true intentions. He had no doubt about the four hundred.
From Sabaek’s point of view, Hwa Myeong-gyun understood that it was much more profitable to use him as a puppet than to kill him and become Jang Mun-in.
The only problem was that Sabaek suspected that he was suspicious.
Likewise, since there was no doubt about the second question, Hwa Myeong-gyun did not ask it.
As long as the Four Baek existed, the volcano was safe even if the disciples were sent away.
He was once his teacher, but after he was selected as the great disciple of Hwasa Bae and became a disciple of Jang Mun-in of the previous generation. An old man who is four hundred years old.
No matter what anyone says, his four hundred swords are the best swords of volcanoes. No, he was a swordsman called the best sword in Shaanxi.
He is one of the current Seven Kings, a man called the Sword King, and a man with the nickname Maehwageomseon (梅花劍仙).
That was his four hundred people, Yun Seon (倫仙) Jinin.
* * *
One day, about ten days after the attack on Daeryeohyeon.
The three of them left Jongnamsan Mountain without fail and headed towards the volcano.
And between the three heading to the volcano, there was a different tension than before.
It’s like attacking a volcano that belongs to the nine-pointed group. Even with only three people having to hide their Shaolin martial arts skills.
Of course, Hye-geol tried to stop Mu-jin, but it didn’t work.
Mujin claimed that Hwasan is currently no different from Muju Gongsan, and added words that bordered on threats.
‘If you’re having a hard time, I don’t mind going alone.’
When I heard that. Hye-geol felt like her head was going blank.
The biggest reason was that he realized that if Mujin decided to escape, he wouldn’t be able to catch him either.
In the process of messing around with Mujin twice, Hyegeol came to this realization.
Mujin has already become stronger than himself.
So, Hye-geol ended up being with Mujin Mu-gyeong.
If there is no use in trying to stop them, they would rather be together, even if it means throwing themselves away, to protect the two who will become Shaolin’s equals.

It’s been a while since I moved in such a tense atmosphere.
They are Seoak (西岳), which boasts rugged mountains that look like swords. We were able to reach the volcano.
However, no matter how difficult the mountain terrain was, it could not be an obstacle for the three who had already reached a certain level.
Take a moment to climb the volcano at high speed.
Around the time when the towering towers of volcanic waves began to appear in the distance. Mujin gave a signal.
Pot.
And Mu-gyeong, who received Mu-jin’s signal, began moving alone in a different direction.
‘You can’t make mistakes. ‘Mukyung.’
In a way, it was Mu-gyeong who played an equally important role as himself in this trip to the volcano.
Originally, Mujin had no intention of visiting Hwasanpa directly like this.
Until the first time he played kangpan in Hwaeumhyeon, the goal was simply revenge on the Jongnam faction.
It was a plan to casually injure several of the Hwasan disciples and force the Hwasan faction to move back their front lines to protect against thieves.
However, they did not return the disciples to Hwaeumhyeon until the end, and instead repeated the act of sending out the disciples from the main mountain.
‘An opportunity like this will never come again.’
So, now could be said to be a golden opportunity to shake up the volcanic wave.
However, Mujin did not intend to exterminate the Hwasan Sect disciples this time or rob the sacrifices as he did at Daegeumsangdan Bunta.
Mujin simply planned to release a poison that could shake the volcanic wave.
And the poison was currently sleeping in the arms of Mu-gyeong, who had begun to move separately.
The role of himself and Hye-geol was to attract the attention of the Hwasan sect monks so that Mu-gyeong could relieve the poison with ease.
Then, in order for Mu-kyung to succeed, they will have to attract more attention.
A mountain gate of volcanic waves visible in front of you. And the moment I discovered the two gurus guarding the front.
“Accept customers!!”
Mujin let out a shout full of energy and rushed towards the two monks.
“S-It’s an attack!”
“Stop it!”
The two monks were startled by the sudden situation and pulled out their swords, but by the time they reacted, Mujin had already swung his fist at them.
Mujin, who defeated the two Hwasan Sect disciples in an instant, used all of his energy and struck the closed door of the Hwasan Sect.
“Great door without gate!”
bang!!!
For the great thief, there are no doors.
Today again, it was Mujin who boldly broke down the door to pretend to be Daedo.
Originally, it had nothing to do with the word Daedomumun (大道無門), but Mujin did not mind.
“What kind of people are they!”
“How dare you attack a volcano! “Kill those evildoers!”
Perhaps because they broke in by breaking down the door, there was an immediate response.
Shouts erupt from everywhere, and inspectors wearing uniforms with plum blossoms on them flock towards the entrance.
no. The expression “swarming” didn’t seem particularly appropriate. Should I say that it appears sparsely?
In an instant, dozens of swordsmen appeared and rushed toward the entrance, and in the distance, between the pavilions, additional volcanic group gurus were appearing one by one.
Perhaps because of the unnecessarily wide size of the volcanic waves, the number felt particularly small.
‘Still, it looks like the information isn’t wrong.’
If all the Taoists of the Hwasan Sect were in the Hwasan Sect, hundreds of people would have gathered there.
However, according to the information received from the Cheonryu Sect, many of the disciples of the Hwasan Sect seemed to have left the Hwasan Sect.
If I had been deceived by the other person, I planned to run away immediately, but since the information turned out to be true, there was no need to hesitate.
Pot!
Mujin wasted no time and rushed at the Hwasan faction gurus who were trying to protect him. And Hye-geol supported Mu-jin.
The simplest way to avoid being surrounded is to break through one point.
“Stop it!”
“Ha!”
The Hwasan faction gurus swung their swords at Mujin, who was quickly closing the distance, but Mujin swung his arms and legs in front of him like a man who does not know the concept of ‘defense’.
His fist, wrapped in a golden fist, was not enough to push back the swords of the Volcanic Sect disciples, but instead sent them flying into the distance.
Just like when they blew up Elder Hwasun-gyeong not long ago.
And just like Elder Hwasun-gyeong, the Hwasan Sect disciples who collided with Mujin and flew away were unable to get up.
This was not only because of Mujin’s absurd strength, but also because the level of the disciples who stopped Mujin was too low.
Hwasa-bae, the current owner of the Hwasan Sect, was considerably younger than the old Shaolin or Shaman shamans like the Hwasan Sect, Hyeonja-bae and Unja-bae.
As Jang Mun-in, Yun Ja-bae, the predecessor of the Hwasan faction, passed away early, Hwa-bae Hwa-bae took over the leadership of the Hwasan faction at an early age.
As Hwahwabae was young, the first and second generation disciples were also younger than other nine-generation disciples, and even in the case of the third generation disciples, most of them were still in their teens.
In the meantime, most of the disciples and elders who could be considered experts left the volcano.
Naturally, among the young people remaining in Hwasan, there was almost no expert who could block Mujin’s power.
Mujin clears the path first, and Hyegeol clears out those swinging swords from the side or behind.
Around the time when I defeated more than twenty volcano sect disciples in an instant.
“Get out of the way!”
Finally, old people with completely white hair began to appear.
They were not Hwasa Bae, the current owner of the Hwasan Sect.
The owner of Jeondae Hwasan, who took a backseat after the death of Jeondae Jang Mun-in. They were Yoon Ja-bae’s Taesang elders.
The number was twelve at most, but they were of a different class from the young Taoists they had dealt with before.
Immediately after the young Taoist monks who tried to protect Mujin and Hye-geol retreated due to the cries of the old Taoist monks.
As the old monks swing their swords, plum blossoms created by red sword energy bloom in the air.
The plum blossom moved as if caught in a dead wind and flew towards Mujin and Hyegeol.
The total number of flower petals created by the twelve old monks was over a hundred, making it a sight like no other.
“Haaa!”
“Sigh!”
With their backs to each other, Mujin and Hyegeol managed to tear the flowers apart by moving their arms and legs like crazy people.
However, in the meantime, the old monks were not just idle.
With their first attack, they stopped Mujin and Hyegeol and quickly approached them. They began to expand their joint forces by wrapping around the circle.
Not only was the level of the martial arts masters excellent, but Hye-geol, who could only use the second hand to hide her martial arts skills, naturally became dizzy in her hands and feet.
In the meantime, it was thanks to Mujin that Hye-geol was able to endure.
The child, who was only twenty-three years old, was fighting so well that he had no idea what kind of battle he had been through.
Mujin was not deceived by the plum blossoms produced by the old monks. He could only block the plum blossoms flying toward his vital spot.
Suddenly!
Naturally, his black military uniform was torn and blood started to well up.
bang!!
Instead of inflicting wounds on his body, he would approach an old Taoist monk and give him a regime that was outside the scope of ‘military service’ as a gift.
“They are just chaff with a lot of inner strength!”
Mujin, who had already defeated three old monks, shouted with courage even while blood was seeping out of his clothes.
How lazy had they been living within the Hwasan Sect? The level of their external skills was poor compared to their internal skills.
Of course, as all the old monks were old, it was natural that their physical level was declining, so their condition was serious.
‘Well, they are just greedy trash, so do they have the ability to train at their age?’
With that thought in mind, Mujin was looking for his next prey.
An old Taoist monk shouted in protest.
“You can’t believe you’re using this kind of trick! “It must be the evil Madhu!”
All of the old monks who were attacked by Mujin were dead with large holes in their stomachs and hearts.
It was a completely different result than before, when only minor injuries were inflicted on Mujin, Hyegeol, and the Hwasan Sect disciples.
However, despite Noh Dosa’s provocation, Mujin only smiled bitterly.
“Is there anyone in this world more wicked than you?”
Mujin knew. The current Hwa-bae of Hwasan and the surviving Yun Ja-bae committed a serious sin worthy of human cruelty.
