Episode 1212 This is absolutely true. (2)
The appointment ceremony ended simply.
Perhaps it was shabby, unsuitable for the appointment ceremony, which was a long ceremony for Hwasan, who has now become the main gate sect representing Shaanxi.
In essence, changing the leader of the Daemun faction is a huge event that shakes the entire region.
However, not only Hwasan’s disciples who participated in the appointment ceremony, but even those who watched it from afar did not feel disappointed by the small scale.
Rather, it occurred to me that this might be the appointment ceremony most suitable for the Hwasan sect.
Unam, who received the Jahasin sword, looks at it with new eyes. To be honest, Unam was a person who had no particular appreciation for this sword.
Nevertheless, the reason why this sword cannot be easily handled is because of the meaning behind it. This is the meaning of this sword that he thought would never be in his hands.
Unam takes a long, deep breath and slowly pulls out the Jashin sword.
Unam, who was seeing the young swordsman with his own eyes in that pure white light, stopped his hand just before the sword was fully drawn, and slowly pushed the sword back into the scabbard.
Percussion!
An impulse arose in an instant. The urge to pull out that sword all the way and swing it at least once. Regardless of what the sword symbolizes, it is an impulse that any swordsman who holds the sword in his hand would feel.
Nevertheless, the reason why he did not draw his sword until the end was very simple.
Because the sword in his hand has meaning when it is not drawn.
Nothing much has changed.
It’s just that Unam briefly intervened in the middle of the process of passing the Jashin sword from Hyeonjong to Baekcheon. The result doesn’t change.
However, the short ‘process’ leading to that unchanging result may change many things.
There are countless swords in the world.
Some swords will kill someone on the battlefield, and some swords will save someone’s life. Some swords are wielded for profit, some swords are wielded for oppression.
Whether their use is right or wrong, each of those swords has meaning.
If so…
Although it was made as a sword, it never once cut or threatened anyone. Wouldn’t a sword that wasn’t pulled out of its scabbard also have its own meaning?
Unam smiled.
‘That’s enough.’
Anything more than this is just too much.
Unam slowly turns his head and looks at Hyeonjong. As if I should finish this ritual now. But Hyeonjong just looked at Unam with a light smile.
Unam, who only then realized his mistake, cleared his throat softly and opened his mouth with a serious expression that felt a little unfamiliar to him.
“Disciples going to Haenam, please come forward!”
“yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hwasan’s disciples rushed forward and bowed down behind Baekcheon.
After catching a glimpse of them, Unam opened his mouth again.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
When Unam turns his head and calls Baekcheon, Baekcheon politely bows.
“yes. “A long writer.”
Unam slightly closed his eyes at the name Jangmun-in. However, before I can feel any emotion, Unam opens his eyes again and opens his mouth with a determined look in his eyes.
“The person who has to convey the meaning of Hwasan to Haenam is not me, but Director Jang Mun.”
Baekcheon faces Unam with shining eyes without answering.
“Even if Master Jang of Hwasan cannot go in person, this sword will prove that Master Jang’s will is the will of Hwasan.
When Unam held out the Jahasin sword, Baekcheon accepted it, showing the best respect he could.
As Baekcheon kicked the sword to his side, Unam opened his mouth again.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
“yes!”
“Lead the disciples of Huashan, prove to them that they have Huashan’s council, and return.”
“yes!”
It was visible to Unam.
Baekcheon’s voice as he answered was extremely serious, but there was a liveliness that could not be hidden within it.
‘Guy…’
People cannot be without greed. Nevertheless, he feels strangely moved as he sees Sajil who is sincerely happy that he has ascended to the top of the ranking.
It’s not just Baekcheon.
The eyes of the disciples looking at him from behind Baekcheon also showed consistent joy.
The moment Unam bit his lip in helpless emotion, Baekcheon’s voice was heard.
“Disciple Baekcheon!”
Unam’s eyes turn to Baekcheon.
“Following Jang Mun-in’s orders, I will return after clearly conveying Hwasan’s will to the Haenam faction!”
As Unam slowly nods, Baekcheon stands up. Seeing that devotional sight brought a smile to Unam’s face.
Baekcheon, carrying the Jahasin sword by his side, walks toward the front door. And the five swords followed behind them as if they were escorting them.
It’s something I’ve seen many times before. However, what Unam was looking at now was the same as before, but not the same again.
Then, Hyeonjong’s voice is heard in Unam’s ears.
“How was it?”
“⋯⋯.”
“I don’t feel very comfortable, do I?”
Unam lets out a short sigh at that voice.
“I thought it was a decision you made because you were thinking of me… “Now I see that you were planning on giving me trouble.”
“haha. “Maybe so.”
It’s not that I don’t, but my heart is heavy.
No matter how much of a decision everyone has made, it is Jangmun-in’s responsibility to approve that decision. Being a senior writer means taking responsibility for all decisions.
If even one of those children came back hurt, would Unam be able to bear that pain?
“Have you always sent your children away with this feeling?”
“Didn’t you guess?”
“I guessed. But I had no idea that the guess and reality would be so different.”
Unam shakes his head.
Only then will I understand why Hyeonjong changed his mind at the last moment.
It’s so hard for those watching, but if the person going to Haenam has to take responsibility for that, how much weight will be placed on Baekcheon’s shoulders?
This is a decision for Unam, but it is also Hyeonjong’s consideration for Baekcheon.
“Just until that kid comes back.”
“That’s good for now.”
Unam nodded.
He sighed and was about to step forward.
“Where are you going?”
“yes?”
“Now that I have become a long-time writer, I think I want to go to my children and enjoy that feeling to the fullest… Unfortunately, you don’t have time for that.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Baekcheon is going to Haenam anyway, so there is a mountain of work that was not handed over. “The handover will begin right now, so come to my place.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“oh my. I feel refreshed. “If Baekcheon had become Jangmun-in, he would have been in charge of the work even when Taesang became Jangmun-in.”
“⋯⋯.”
Unam looks at Hyeonjong. Hyeonjong had a truly refreshing look on his face. It was a moment when Unam’s face was suddenly struck by the humorous face of his teacher, as if he had seen it for the first time in his life.
Jogeol, who was heading to the main gate of the manor, giggles and opens her mouth.
“Oh my, it’s a long sentence.”
The moment he heard that voice, blood appeared on Baekcheon’s forehead.
“I thought you would be promoted to Gosok, but what will you do now that you have been pushed aside? Oh my, I can’t help feeling sad about this! “How upset Director Jang Moon must be!”
“⋯⋯.”
“But don’t worry! This Sajil’s loyalty will not change! No matter how much Director Jang Moon takes a little longer to pass away, this person will always stay by Director Jang Moon’s side and his body will be destroyed…”
“Jodong-Ari! “Jodong-Ari!”
Yoon Jong grabs Jo Geol by the collar and slaps her mouth. Yoonjong, who gave Jogeol a few more hits as she screamed, smiled and asked Baekcheon.
“It’s a little sudden. Did you know?”
“No, I didn’t know either. really.”
A smile blooms on Baekcheon’s lips.
“But this might be the right direction. “Thanks to you, I feel a little more at ease.”
Yoonjong keeps the accusation.
“Didn’t you say that in order to grow, you have to shoulder responsibility? “Isn’t it a little subtle that you feel relieved that responsibility has been relieved?”
“It’s different from that.”
Baekcheon shook his head.
“According to the original, the position of Jang Mun-in should have returned to Sa-suk. “I wanted to do that too, but Sa-sook was stubborn, so there was no way.”
“Yes, of course.”
“Although Master Sasuk has become a scholar, it does not mean that the responsibility I bear is diminished. “The relief I feel is not because my responsibilities have been reduced, but because I have been relieved of the burden of having gained something that is not yet my place.”
Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, I also skipped the distribution and received a place as a long-time writer…”
“You have to say something that makes sense!”
At that moment, Baekcheon’s ears heard the yelling of a hundred-year-old Sangkondae.
“where! uh? At Daehwa Midwife, where norms and laws are alive! Climbing over a thief upside down!”
“⋯⋯.”
“I won’t be able to see that until dirt gets in my eyes! Ah! of course!”
“Walk.”
“Yes, Sasuk!”
“Go and get some dirt…”
“Has it been decided who will enter?”
“What would happen if we all worked together?”
“Say what makes sense. Then, dirt gets into our eyes first.”
“⋯⋯.”
“This is going straight! this!”
“Ugh.”
From the perspective of the five swords, Cheongmyeong may just be Cheongmyeong, but this was an important issue for Cheongmyeong.
Isn’t Cheongmyeong the embodiment of a living thief who throws away all his life and achievements and tries to be as faithful as possible to his duties as the three great disciples of Hwasan?
From his point of view, there was no way he could tolerate the way the distribution was being reversed right before his eyes, even though he was treating children who would have previously played on his lap just because of the single word distribution.
“It’s a sect after all!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
“If I listen to that, another day goes by. Please let’s go! Haenam!”
“Give me some cotton. “Just cover your ears and go.”
Hwasan’s disciples shake their heads and head toward the main gate, leaving Cheongmyeong behind.
At the front gate, people who had already prepared were waiting for them.
Namgungdowi and party flag, Seolsobaek. And even Lim So-byeong, whose mouth sticks out.
Baekcheon greets them as a representative.
“Thank you for waiting.”
“you’re welcome.”
Namgung Dowi received the greeting.
“Of course it has to be done. Congratulations on officially becoming Assistant Manager Jangmun. “100,000 seals.”
“thank you.”
“First, let’s go to Namgung’s family…”
“ah!”
At that moment, Lim So-byeong shouts loudly.
“Are you going to leak me? me? Ah, let’s get started! Why did you have to change the sign on the day of departure and make everyone wait! Why make such a big deal out of something that doesn’t really mean anything… “Kyeeeeeek!”
Cheongmyeong, who almost ascended to heaven, kicked Lim So-byeong in the face with the sole of his foot. Then, he pounces on Lim So-byeong like a wolf, who made the sound of slitting a pig.
“Isn’t it meaningful? “What does this baseless Sa Sect bastard think of the Great Mountain Sect’s lengthy succession ceremony?”
“Ahh! evil! “Aaaah!”
“I’m already going to Gangnam, but before that, let’s get rid of Sapa’s baby box and let’s go! die! “Die, you Sapa bastard!”
“Aaaah! Please save me! “Ahh!”
Everyone who was looking at Cheongmyeong beating Lim So-byeong like a dog with a dog’s blade sighs in unison.
“Shall we leave?”
“⋯⋯Sure.”
It seems that this trip to Haenam was also wrong to go easily.
