Return of the Volcano – Episode 1741 (1742/1753)
Episode 1741 It’s not visible. (1)
The day dawned.
Jogeol, who had stayed up all night with her eyes open, woke up and looked blankly at the sunlight pouring in through the window.
Those who had stayed up all night together in silence turned their attention to him.
“Walk?”
Joe Geul scratched his head and said.
“I guess I should go and see it sometime. The air was cold in the early morning, and I was a little worried that I might be hurt… … . that… … That’s why I have to go to a busy medical center for no reason… … .”
That’s a ridiculous excuse.
“Mr. Taesangmoon… … .”
Yoonjong, who opened his mouth, stopped talking and shook his head. His sigh escaped.
King Hyeonjong clearly gave orders not to show any warmth to the excommunicated disciple. But would Jo Geol have already forgotten that?
Even if Jo-Geol is punished for this, Yoon-Jong cannot stop him since he has made up his mind to go.
“Walk.”
“No, death penalty. I’ll be back for a moment. If you get scolded, you get scolded, right? If you say you just fell asleep and didn’t know… … .”
“Let’s go together.”
“… … yes?”
Yoonjong stood up.
“I have to go too.”
Then, without even waiting for Jo Geol, he headed for the door. The others sitting in their seats also stood up at once as if they had made a promise.
“No, that… … .”
I didn’t plan on making things this big. Joe sighed and scratched his head.
“… … Does this sect’s sect even have knight annihilation established as its basic rule?”
I can’t believe they are all completely ignoring the Taesangjangmunin’s order that was given yesterday. I looked at those ahead of me and Jogeol followed them.
“… … “I’m sure you’re feeling okay, right?”
“I think so.”
No matter how weak he was, Baekcheon was still a warrior. Even if you are exposed to cold winds for just one night, you will not get seriously ill.
However, I was worried about mental illness, not physical illness.
‘It’s an excommunication… … .’
Yunjong thought about how he would feel if he were in the same situation.
It’s hard to even guess. I’ve never thought about life outside of a volcano. Even when the end of Hwasan was almost certain, Yunjong was a person who never thought about leaving.
The volcano has everything about him.
How can I know what it feels like to be forcibly cut off from everything? I can’t even dare to offer comfort.
“The body comes first, the body. “A person must have a healthy body no matter what they do.”
Yunjong’s face hardened. Even in the midst of this, she was a little angry at Jo Geol, who was telling nonsense. Why… … .
“capital punishment.”
“why.”
Yunjong’s voice as he answered became cold.
“Is it really possible to heal Sasuk’s body if we go to Jongnam?”
Yunjong turned his head and looked at Jo Geol.
“I guess so?”
Instead of an answer, a long sigh came out.
‘okay… … . I have to grab that at least for now.’
“You have to believe it.”
“There won’t be any problem. Sasuk’s family is rich, right? Just fix your body and everything will be fine. “It will happen.”
Anyone could tell that this was not something he truly believed or was saying with confidence. Nevertheless, Jo Geol kept repeating similar words. This is actually a good thing.
“okay. at least… … “It will be better than now.”
“But then, what if? Once the executioner recovers, the excommunication will be canceled… … .”
“Jogeul.”
As Yoonjong’s voice coldly pierced his ears, Jogeol flinched and tightened his neck.
“Think before you speak.”
“No, it could happen that way. I’m not saying you have to do that… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense. That is a disgrace to Hwasan, Sasuk, and everyone else. And above all, there is no way Sasuk would accept such a thing.”
Jo Geol let out a long breath out of frustration.
He knows it doesn’t make sense. Even if it were possible, I can’t imagine Baekcheon choosing that path.
“… … “I just tried it.”
“… … .”
Yun Jong also no longer reprimanded Jo Geol. To be honest, it’s not like he hasn’t had similar thoughts.
But now we have to accept it. Baekcheon will become Jongnam’s person.
‘He’s a Jongnam… … .’
Although their relationship has improved rapidly recently, he is still the son-in-law.
Will the friendly relationship with Jongnam last? One day, the relationship may become worse than before, perhaps even worse than before, leading to confrontation.
If Baekcheon is standing at the head of Jongnam at that time, how should Yoonjong look at him?
‘It’s difficult.’
It was a time when Yunjong was trying to sort out his complicated thoughts.
“Death penalty, over there.”
At this moment, the people I wanted to see the most came into view. They were walking in the same direction as Yunjong’s group.
Including Jong Ligok, Jongnam’s chief literary officer, Jin Geumryong, Lee Songbaek, and even Baekcheon’s father, Jin Chobaek… … .
‘Are you going to pick up Sasuk?’
Yoonjong bit his lower lip without realizing it. If you think about it calmly, it’s natural, but I didn’t know why it felt like my insides were being scratched with hot iron.
When our eyes met, Song Baek lowered his head with an awkward expression. The other party members also looked up as if they had finally discovered this place.
Yoonjong politely bowed.
Regardless of whether you are burning inside or not, the opponent is a long-time person from another gate. Not being polite was the same as staining the face of a volcano.
Zhongligok slightly bowed his head and accepted their courtesy.
Since we were headed to the same place, the further we walked, the closer the distance became. As the distance between us got closer to no more than a day, my nerves were on edge even if I tried not to notice it.
Surprisingly, it was Jin Geum-ryong who spoke first.
“Are you going to see him?”
“… … yes.”
In general, distribution with other teams is not strictly considered, but in any case, when it comes to distribution, Jingeumryong is one level above. Also, since he was Baekcheon’s older brother in a private sense, Yoonjong was polite enough.
But the answer that came back was very short.
“Why?”
There is a lot of meaning in it. It had so many meanings that it made Yoonjong cry for a moment.
Yoonjong clenched his teeth. He felt like if he opened his mouth now, something harsh would come out. In any case, causing trouble here is not good for everyone.
At that time, Zhongligok spoke up.
“I heard that the Taesangjangmun of the Gwimun prohibited contact with excommunicators. “Don’t you know that this kind of behavior can be problematic?”
“I know.”
“Do you want to go somewhere?”
The way he spoke seemed to be gently admonishing him, but in the end, he was telling me to just leave. However, even though Yoonjong knew what he meant, he did not easily back down.
“yes. “I plan to ask for forgiveness.”
Zhongligoo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Now that I think about it, it seems that Yoonjong is not the only one who has no intention of backing down. Jo-geol and Yu I-seol with their sharp eyes staring at each other as if they were enemies, Baek-sang and Hye-yeon who fidget but keep their positions, and even Dang So-so and Nam Gung-do-wi who remain expressionlessly silent.
Currently, all of the most famous new players in the river are breaking the command and taking punishment upon themselves. To go to Baekcheon.
‘Is it virtue…? … .’
It seemed that no one could compare to Jongnam’s ability to attract people. Jongnam has the sharp-minded Jin Geum-ryong and the honest Lee Song-baek, but Baek-cheon has something that those two lack.
“hmm.”
Jongligok let out a short sigh.
You may have to force them to stop, but it won’t be necessary. By participating in the event where Jin Jin-ryong is brought in, we may be able to awaken them to reality.
“Then let’s go together. “Aren’t we both on our way to see the same person?”
“… … “We won’t necessarily go separately, but that doesn’t mean we can go together.”
“hmm?”
“We are not going to see Sasuk off right now.”
In Zhong Ligok’s eyes, Li Chae was young.
Yunjong maintains a calm demeanor even in front of Jongligok. He was excommunicated for disobeying King Hyeonjong’s orders, even though he encountered Jang Mun-in from another gate on his way to see it.
Zhongligok looked closely at the deep and profound eyes, like a windless lake.
‘How come such talented people keep coming out of volcanoes?’
It would be rude to say I was jealous, but it was difficult to stop myself from feeling that way.
“Then then.”
Zhongligok nodded briefly and took a step forward.
In any case, now we have to bring Jin Jin-ryong to Jongnam as soon as possible. If we diagnose and implement Dafa as quickly as possible, we can make things better.
Zongligok’s steps became faster.
Jin Geum-ryong, who was following behind, glared at Yoon Jong and Jo Geol with sharp eyes.
There was a cold tension between the two groups walking side by side at a certain distance. It’s a chill that hasn’t been there since we sorted out each other’s positions to some extent.
Song Baek secretly sighed.
‘It’s frustrating.’
We managed to connect the two factions. However, I had an ominous feeling that the relationship would become cold again due to Baekcheon’s incident.
I wouldn’t even want a 100,000 seal for that.
Trying to hide my stuffy feelings, I turned the corner toward the palace where Baekcheon would be.
Stop.
But suddenly, Jongligok stopped. At the same time, Yoonjong also stopped in place.
A low groan came from Zongligok’s mouth.
“Baekcheon… … . No, where is Jin Jin-ryong?”
“yes?”
He lightly rubbed his chin and spoke with dark eyes.
“I thought you would be here. “Send someone to the shelter right now.”
I didn’t think the shock I received yesterday would have been resolved that easily, but it seemed like he had calmed down and gone to his place.
‘Is it stronger than you think? If that’s the case, then that’s fortunate.’
Zongligok thought calmly and waited for the person who had sent him to Baekcheon’s residence to return.
But the news that came back was different from what I expected.
“Jang Moon-in. “There was no one in the place.”
“… … okay? Then, the medical center… … .”
One of the disciples quickly approached Zhongligoo with a nervous look on his face.
“Well, there’s no one at the Medical Center either.”
Only then did Zongligok’s complexion change completely.
“… … “Then where did you go with that body?”
“Well, well, I also… … .”
“Search through the shaman and find him. I’m sure you weren’t here until dawn. It will still be on the grounds!”
It is impossible to recklessly search the grounds of another sect. However, as the matter was so serious, Zhongligok had no choice but to commit rudeness.
At the command of the young Jang Mun-in, to the point of anger, Jong-nam’s disciples dispersed and ran to various parts of the shaman in a huff.
A faint anxiety appeared in Zhongligok’s eyes.
‘Could it be that he went to King Hyeonjong?’
That may be so. He may have gone to beg for Myung to step down. He would have done the same.
‘This is not the time. directly… … .’
But things got weird.
“Nothing, Jang Mun-in.”
“I can’t see it.”
Those who looked around Hyeonjong’s residence, and even those who looked around the reception hall where Hwasan disciples stayed, were unable to find Baekcheon.
Even those who crossed the precincts and searched Wudang Mountain were the same.
“this… … .”
Zhongligok became more and more contemplative. Hyeonjong, who heard the news late, rushed over.
“Jangmun-in.”
“Taesangjangmunin! Baekcheon… … . “No, you weren’t with Jin Jin-ryong?”
“We haven’t seen each other since yesterday.”
“that… … !”
Hyeonjong was astonished and looked back at the other disciples.
“Has any of you seen Baekcheon?”
“… … Taesangjangmunin told me not to contact people who were excommunicated… … .”
“Are you sure there is no one there? So what about today? “Have you seen anyone today?”
Of course, no answer came back. King Hyeonjong stared at the shaman’s wide open front door with a mesmerized face.
“Oh my… … . this… … .”
disappeared.
In this dangerous land where the fire of war still lurks everywhere, Baekcheon has disappeared like smoke.
“This happened… … .”
The volcano threw him down. And he wanted to go to Jongnam.
However, Baekcheon did not head to Jongnam.
It was a situation no one could have imagined. The blood drained from everyone’s faces.
“Baekcheon… … .”
Hyeonjong’s bewildered voice spread throughout the quiet training hall.
And on the roof of the pavilion a little away from the training hall.
Cheongmyeong, who was watching all this commotion in silence, let out a soft sigh. The scent of alcohol in his mouth was particularly bitter today.
