Chapter 1
Episode 1 You can never die (1)
An old pavilion in Jinyang County, Shaanxi Province.
At the entrance, there was a signboard saying “Uihwadang” (Medicine Center).
An old man who looked unwell looked around at the entrance and shouted.
“Seokdu, Seokdu, come out now!”
A middle-aged lawmaker wearing a white bandana came running out from inside the palace.
“Is the old man here? “Please eat inside.”
“It’s the holidays. What are you doing here in such a hurry? “So, find a partner quickly.”
“haha. Then, please at least let me do some matchmaking.”
The old man who entered the main hall nodded confidently.
“I get it. “Even if that’s not the case, there’s still one wife who hasn’t gotten married.”
“After all, the only people who care about me are my elders. Who is it?”
A hint of mischief appeared on the old man’s face, but then disappeared.
“my friend. “There is still one person alive.”
The lawmaker was startled and waved his hand.
“Oh, the old man too. “How do I get introduced to someone like my grandmother?”
The old man grinned and placed the wrapping cloth he was holding on the table.
The smell of delicious food wafted through the room.
“What is this?”
“I brought it because I was thinking of you who would be alone during the holidays. “I asked my daughters-in-law to pack some things for me.”
The congressman looked at the wrapping cloth with his eyes wide open, as if he was moved.
“Well, I’ll eat it well, old man. “By the way, how are you feeling?”
“What do you think?” I feel like I’m going to run out of breath soon. “How long can you live?”
The congressman rolled up his sleeves and began to feel the area around the old man’s forehead.
His complexion darkened greatly.
“The blood vessels have become narrower. I think the tumor has grown. At this level, an ordinary person is already….”
“It sounds like there is nothing strange even if he is already dead. It’s okay because I don’t have any regrets anymore.”
The congressman did not answer but turned his voice around.
“Have you ever lost consciousness in the middle of it?”
“Not yet. “I get dizzy sometimes.”
The lawmaker, holding the teapot, filled the empty teacup and held it out to the old man.
“It seems that the elderly person’s abundant internal energy is protecting the blood vessels. “If you don’t want to fall, take care of it consistently.”
“What’s the point of struggling to live a little longer when you’re an old man waiting to die in the back room?”
“phew. Still, didn’t you say that you were happy to see your granddaughter? “You should live long and watch your granddaughter get married.”
The old man’s face suddenly brightened. He seemed to feel better when he thought about his granddaughter.
“Well, that’s true too. I live for the taste of seeing my youngest son grow up late. “Not only is she pretty, but she is also a very special child who will be responsible for the future of our family.”
“If you look at his natural muscles and constitution, he will definitely grow up to be a great kid. But more than that, you should be a little worried about the elderly.”
“Actually, I know. “I know my body best.”
The lawmaker let out a heavy voice with eyes full of worry.
“You shouldn’t give up already. It is said that there are many examples of martial people living a long life that exceeds medical knowledge. “You are practicing regularly, right?”
“I’m just having breakfast. “I think it’s been about thirty years since I put down my sword.”
“But you still need to train your body consistently, sir.”
A faint smile appeared on the old man’s face.
He emptied his teacup in one go and stood up.
“It’s training… I’m too old to do that now. Anyway, I enjoyed your tea.”
“wait a minute!”
The doctor handed a packet of medicinal herbs to the old man who was about to leave.
“They said medicine wouldn’t work anyway? “Please take care of something like this.”
“It’s just no big deal. “It will help with blood circulation and digestion.”
I couldn’t shake it off when it was forced into my hand.
The old man nodded once and turned his back.
“Tomorrow, don’t be in trouble and come to our Yu family home. “Let’s have a meal together.”
“Haha. Let me think about it. Please take a look.”
The old man returning home walked lightly.
This is where he has lived for more than a year.
My eyes sank deeply as I looked at the rows of plum trees.
‘Now… I have to sort it out.’
Every scene was captured without missing a single scene. This is because I instinctively felt that the end of life was approaching.
The head of the Yu family.
It was a family he had worked hard to build his entire life.
Looking at the wall in the distance, I was filled with regret. But even for a moment, his eyes suddenly wavered.
Something was strange.
Aren’t there dozens of residents crowded around the main gate, making noise? Their whispering conversation rang in my ears as if I was hearing it right next to them.
“What the hell is going on?”
“What’s going on… Shouldn’t we hurry up and tell the government office?”
“Who on earth would do such a terrible thing?”
An ominous feeling passed through the old man’s mind.
A thick scent of blood that can be felt at the tip of the nose. The closer the distance became, the more intense it became.
The old man approached quickly.
Pudduk-!
As I ran for the first time in a long time, every bone in my body screamed.
“Ugh!”
I couldn’t stop.
The old man approached the front door and squeezed his way through the crowd.
“Let’s pass by for a moment.”
Residents who discovered him moved out of the way with surprised faces. Their eyes were full of pitiful expressions.
“What should I do? The head of the family is alive.”
“Are all but the eldest member of the family dead?”
“Even the sky is so indifferent…”
At that moment, the medicine in the old man’s hand fell with a ‘sudden’ sound.
Countless cruel corpses were scattered in the front yard of the manor. There were about 30 bodies, including men, women and children.
It was clear that the head of the Yu family was a close associate of the family. Even the general manager and the guests who have been together their entire lives. Everyone, without exception, was cold.
“….”
The old man approached unsteadily, one step at a time.
I couldn’t believe the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
“Daegwang…. Cheongya…. General Jin….”
I called out the names of the family members I saw one by one, but there was no way I could get an answer.
“…kehehehehe.”
The old man on his knees sobbed for a long time.
Residents watching from the entrance whispered with sad expressions.
“They say it is the greatest injustice for a child to die before his parents. But everyone died except the elderly… How could this happen?”
“Patriarch Yu didn’t have any enemies, right? “Who the hell did that?”
“How would you know it’s me? “Shouldn’t we stop it first?”
The old man grabbed a sword lying nearby. Then he brought the tip of the sword to his uvula.
Somber eyes filled with sadness. And there was no hesitation in his actions.
“No!”
“If you die like that, who will take revenge?”
“Once you live, there will be another!”
The old man seemed to have lost all will to live, and there was no change in his expression.
The look in his eyes was as if his soul had escaped.
Everyone sensed that they could not stop him.
The tip of the sword began to slowly dig into my uvula.
I didn’t feel any pain. This was because the physical pain was buried by the mental pain.
A drop of blood was about to flow down the blade.
Suddenly his actions stopped. My ears perked up just once.
“…?”
After retrieving the sword, he looked around. At the same time, he held out his palm toward the front door. It was a signal for residents to be quiet.
And then, a faint sound of a baby crying could be heard from somewhere.
“Mites.”
It was a small yard next to the main hall.
The old man ran over a month later and removed the straw bales that were lying on the floor. Then a jar buried in the ground was revealed.
When I opened the lid, I saw a baby wrapped in a blanket.
At that moment, a stream of hot water flowed down the old man’s cheek.
“That’s great, Amy. You really did a great job….”
I never dreamed that my granddaughter would be hidden here.
It was a situation where all blood vessels were barely able to die.
Suddenly, a deep vitality appeared on his face again.
Unlike before, there was a firm determination in his eyes that he could never die.
‘I will not die.’
The old man entered the main hall holding the baby in his left hand.
When he came out again, he had a spear in his hand. It was the Fire Dragon God Spear, an heirloom of the head of the Yu family.
“Our head of the Yu family has never done anything worthy of resentment, so who on earth could have done such a terrible thing!”
Among the crowd of onlookers, no one knew the answer.
He looked around with calmer eyes.
The scars of a cleanly pierced body. It was clear that the soldiers who had learned martial arts were defeated in an instant without even fighting properly.
‘Should I bury my family… Seol’s safety comes first than that?’
At present, it was impossible to guess the pleural effusion.
No matter what the purpose was, it was clear that he wanted to eliminate the head of the Yu family.
And there was concern that he would come back if they found out he was alive. Judging from many years of experience, this was certain.
“I am Yu Jin-san, the head of the Yu family! I swear to heaven with you as my witnesses. “I will never close my eyes until those who made our family like this pay the price!”
After finishing speaking, Jinsan Yu turned his back.
All he had was a polearm and a baby.
As he walked toward the back door, he glanced back. This was because the bodies of my children, whom I could not bury, were always on my mind.
Nails were being driven into my heart, but I had no choice. Survival was the top priority now.
His steps had just left the back door of the manor.
Suddenly, a black shadow came darting from under the wall.
I instinctively realized it was a surprise attack.
‘You must avoid it with minimal movement.’
I could see it coming, but I had doubts about whether my body would move as I wanted.
Jin-san Yu’s upper body was slightly tilted back.
Paang-!
The blade of the sword grazed the bridge of his nose by just a sheet of paper.
A series of attacks that continue.
‘No way!’
Jinsan Yu began to dodge the attack by moving only his upper body.
The only thing that could give him the upper hand was experience and overwhelming strength.
The moment the sword that grazed his side was recovered. He quickly approached the other person.
In my mind, I wanted to kick people with my knees, but I doubted whether my body would follow suit.
The shaft of the spear kicked up from below and hit the opponent under the chin.
Kwasik-!
“Tsk!”
Jinsan Yu widened the distance again and looked at the other person.
Because he was wearing a mask, his identity could not be guessed.
The only clue was the dragon tattoo climbing his neck.
For now, that was enough.
‘I’m upset, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it now. If other guys join, we won’t be able to secure a retreat route.’
While the opponent was staggering, Yu Jin-san quickly turned his back and ran.
The light attack that glided like a cloud was excellent.
However, it was natural that performing light techniques for the first time in decades would put a strain on the body.
Wood-duk-!
Yu Jin-san’s face was crumpled, as if he had sprained his back.
A moan came out of my mouth reflexively.
“Oh my waist!”
I wanted to lie down and rest, but I couldn’t stop.
When he looked back, he saw the masked man who had ambushed him chasing after him.
When I saw the guy, I suddenly felt angry.
“You don’t even have a father!”
If it were in its prime, it would have been crushed in one blow. But I couldn’t go ahead with the adventure now.
The only thing that mattered was the granddaughter’s safety.
Instead of answering, the masked person fired a memorized note from behind.
It was being conveyed one by one to Yu Jin-san’s senses.
‘Where!’
He twisted his upper body with all his might.
Pudduk-!
“Ugh!”
It was a sound that came from the joints of my shoulder.
At that moment, a sharp blade of rain grazed my front chest.
The gap continues to narrow. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
If you couldn’t escape, there was only one way.
‘If I don’t kill him with one hit, I will be the one who suffers.’
Yu Jin-san, who stopped the light attack, took a nose-down stance and twisted his long spear.
“Don’t worry, baby. “Grandpa will protect you.”
The baby laughed as if he understood what he said.
The distance from the masked person is about a dozen pages.
Yu Jin-san, who was facing him, pulled the spear he was holding with one hand onto his shoulder.
As the distance narrowed to less than five feet, the tip of the spear glowed brightly.
This thing, which was giving off a cool energy, was clearly a prostitute.
And as soon as the distance was narrowed to less than three feet, a lion’s rear came out from the old man’s mouth.
“Kwaaaah!!!”
Along with a single shout, a sound wave filled with profound energy was shot towards the masked person.
He was hit right in front of his nose and his body stumbled.
Yu Jin-san did not aim for that moment and delivered a fatal blow.
Shoot!
A beam of light cut through the air and went in a straight line.
Soon the tip of the spear pierced the opponent’s heart and began to penetrate deep into it.
Fuuuk-!
“Cough!”
Blood poured out from the mouth hidden behind the mask.
Yu Jin-san took a step closer and slapped him in the face.
slam-!
“Such a cheap guy.”
His mask came off and his face was revealed. As expected, it was an unfamiliar face.
It seemed like there was nothing more to find out about him as he was dying.
Yu Jin-san, who grabbed the handle of the spear, kicked him with his foot.
Phew!
Now that the spear was retrieved, there was no time to hesitate any longer.
Jinsan Yu ran for his life without even looking back.
