Chapter 11
Episode 11: Aren’t you eating that? (2)
“…Did you eat it?”
Yu Seol said nothing. He was just stroking his stomach with his fern-like hand.
Upon closer inspection, the child’s entire body seemed to be turning red.
Yu Jin-san quickly put her granddaughter to sleep by pointing out the acupuncture points. Then he placed himself cross-legged in front of him.
He was astonished as he pressed his palm against his back to check his dantian.
A tremendous amount of energy continued to expand and surge within my body.
‘How could this be…’
If I just left it alone, the power supply would explode and I would die. If it were a normal child, it would definitely have been like that.
Fortunately, despite the misfortune, the special constitution called Seonumjiche seemed to neutralize the toxicity of Yeongdan.
First, I had to absorb the surging true energy into my dantian through Iljucheon.
The strong energy swirling within the child’s body began to circulate through the blood vessels of the entire body according to Yu Jin-san’s will.
As the journey continued, Yuseol’s Danjeon’s strength gradually accumulated.
However, the amount of inner strength that Cheongrang’s Naedan brought was beyond imagination. It was questionable whether the child’s body could fully absorb it.
After repeating this routine dozens of times, the child’s dantian suddenly accumulated more than one kap worth of energy.
Now, the Danjeon, the vessel that holds internal energy, was full.
As time passed, Yujin Mountain became more urgent.
‘What should I do with this?’
At some point, while he was pondering, a good idea occurred to him.
The blood vessel of the Seonum branch is the only one that is blocked.
Immaek and Dokmaek are said to be the gateway to life and death. The remaining energy is used up to penetrate these two acupuncture points.
The energy floating around in Yu Seol’s body changed direction and began rushing towards Immaek.
As if a tsunami was rushing in, it started pounding on the blocked blood vessels one after another.
Kwaang-! Kwaang-! Kwaang-!
Immaek, known as the Iron Fortress, collapsed in just three attempts. At that moment, the child’s entire body was engulfed in bright light.
Yujinsan gathered momentum and rushed the remaining Jinki towards Dokmaek. And after five attempts, they succeeded in capturing Dokmaek.
The bright light that had wrapped around the child’s entire body moved to the area near the abdomen.
‘A stoppage was held…?’
It was the first step in the transformation.
Yu Jin-san hastily absorbed the remaining true energy of the child before he could stop.
When the work was finished, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. And watched. The process of a child’s transformation.
“phew. “It’s something you can’t do twice.”
Bone transformation refers to the reorganization of the bones and flesh of the entire body and rebirth into a perfect form.
A baby who had just been born was being born again.
When did something like this ever happen in the Murimsa Temple? It was literally the first time in history that this had happened.
Eugene San was overcome with emotion as he watched his granddaughter change like a snake shedding its skin.
“haha. “Hehehe.”
After a while, the bright light surrounding the child’s body disappeared as if absorbed into the body.
At the same time, Yu Seol opened his eyes. This is because the points were automatically released at the same time as the bone transformation.
Did he feel his body becoming lighter? Yoo Seol, who was blinking, jumped up from his seat. Then he ran around the room, waving his arms.
“Hee~.”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the child smiling brightly, felt proud.
Movement as light as a feather. In addition, the full inner power that can be felt in the Danjeon. The granddaughter was the first to experience the transformation that even she herself, who had practiced Neigong all her life, could not succeed in.
“This guy stole something from his grandfather and ate it. It was delicious.”
Contrary to what I said, I thought it was a very good thing. I had no intention of taking it anyway, but even if I did, it was difficult to guarantee the results unless it was a pre-eum delay.
In any case, Yu Seol’s taking Naedan was a blessing in disguise.
My granddaughter, who made eye contact with me, ran towards me with her arms outstretched and fell into my arms.
“Habae!”
“Come, Grandpa, come after you wash up and I’ll make you some delicious frog porridge.”
After picking up the child, he went outside and put it down in the yard.
After defeating Cheongrang, all risk factors had disappeared. In addition, didn’t he undergo a complete transformation and gain physical strength close to that of Geumgang Buddha?
Now you don’t have to worry about wild animals. I had to let my child run around and play to his heart’s content.
Jin-san Yu washed off the sweat and blood and bandaged the wound. After feeding the child, the day passed by quickly.
After a long time, I wanted to have a good rest.
After lighting a fire in the furnace and lying down in the room, Yuseol crawled onto his stomach and fell flat on his stomach.
Eugene San was lost in his own thoughts while stroking his granddaughter’s head.
‘At most, there will be less than ten days left.’
It was the expected time for the Shaman’s punitive force to arrive. It was directly linked to the remaining fate of Heuksando Island.
Did you say that it is affectionate enough to be hated?
I tried not to pay attention to the bandits, but I couldn’t help but feel concerned.
‘Guys… I feel bad when I think about the past, but they also have a warm side in their own way. ‘There is also a principle that thieves do not attack civilians.’
They were deserters who turned into bandits as an act of survival.
I had no desire to blame them. It is a basic instinct for humans to have the desire to live.
But helping them was a different matter.
‘But who am I to help when my nose is like a stone? ‘I have to hold my breath and hold on until I have a normal body.’
He had to shed his dying body and be reborn through a metamorphosis. If that happens, we will go beyond the martial arts of the heyday and enter a new level of martial arts.
But Yu Jin-san also knew it well. That’s not an easy road.
If you have not achieved complete transformation by the time you reach your twilight years, it is usually normal to give up. But he never intended to stop.
As he was lost in thought, he felt his chest becoming wet.
“…huh?”
Yuseol, who had fallen asleep on his stomach, was drooling.
Yu Jin-san smiled and stroked the child’s head.
When the moment passed, his hand stopped. Because he also fell into a deep sleep.
* * *
Kkokkio-!
A rooster in the backyard announced the wake-up call.
Yu Jin-san woke up first and started his day with a lucky breakfast.
From managing the chicken coop and crops to child care and physical training. There wasn’t even a moment to rest.
The same routine was being repeated every day.
Five days had passed like that.
“Kwaaaak!”
Someone’s painful scream echoed from afar.
Judging from the vibration of the sound, it was a sound that came from at least fifty miles away.
Yujinsan, who was plowing the field, stopped moving for a moment.
‘It looks like what’s coming has arrived.’
Eugene San tried to ignore the screams and continued what he was doing.
The opponent was an independent faction, one of the old factions. Even if you were lucky and defeated the punitive force, stronger ones would continue to come. Nothing good came from intervening.
As he plowed the field with a pitchfork, his granddaughter followed him around, breaking it up with a stick.
I couldn’t criticize him because he was just imitating someone else.
“Oh my, my waist.”
There was a lot of work today to tend a new field, so my back continued to ache.
Eugene San leaned on his waist and looked at his granddaughter. I put a hat made of rice straw on my head, and it looked quite good.
Yoo Seol imitates himself without fail and grabs his waist with both hands.
“Oh my.”
“Where is the waist of that little crab?”
Jinsan Yu grinned and grabbed the pitchfork again.
At that time, a desperate scream was heard again.
“Aaaah!”
“Ahh!”
This time there were two people.
Jinsan Yu sighed and looked at the sky.
There were mixed emotions on his face.
While I was pondering, the memory of the day when the head of the Yu family was angry came to mind.
‘I would have been very grateful if someone had helped my family and saved us from disaster. Jinsan… How dare you think like this while condoning the death of your neighbor?’
Suddenly, Eugene San’s frown narrowed.
He set the pitchfork aside and spoke softly to his granddaughter.
“baby. “I guess today’s farming will end here.”
Yu Jin-san, who entered the residence, wrapped the child in a cloth and tied it on his back. And with his right hand, he grabbed the Fire Dragon God Spear, an heirloom.
The faces of the guys who cheered him on when he was fighting Cheongrang came to mind, and he couldn’t ignore it.
Moreover, if it is a shaman faction, isn’t it a force that may be connected to the family’s enemies? If it was a sect related to the Murim Alliance, I would be shocked.
Leaning on a single spear, I ran through the mountains in the direction from where I heard the screams.
It was about time when he had advanced about thirty pages beyond the area he had drawn. His gaze found a body.
There were several scars. Penetrating injuries to the shoulder and leg. Moreover, both arms were cut off. There were no vital points among the attacked areas. He was killed slowly and painfully.
‘No matter how vengeful the blade may be, how can the hands of those who call themselves political factions be so cruel?’
At that time, I heard someone talking not far away.
Jin-san Yu crept closer, leaving no trace.
“Are you going to tell me the location of the mountain vegetables? Or are you going to die like that guy?”
Two Taoist monks from the Shaman sect were holding swords.
A bandit kneeled before them. Around him, two bodies were seen horribly cut up.
He seemed very enraged by the cruel deaths of his comrades.
“Stop freaking out and just kill me.”
“It’s ridiculous to be concerned about loyalty to a bandit.”
The two Taoists looked very young. It was just as Jinsan Yu expected.
The independent faction chose to let later exponents gain experience rather than sending in senior leaders and wiping them out in one fell swoop. For the bandits who were weak in martial arts, it was an excellent opponent for them to gain practical combat experience.
A Taoist monk approached his colleague who was aiming his sword at the bandit’s neck and whispered.
“Looking at the slope of the mountain, the mountain chapel is probably near the top. “Why don’t we go back and join the rendezvous point?”
“Now that we’ve come this far, we need to find out the exact location. “I will check it with my own eyes and report it to my dormitories.”
Although he gave off quite a bit of energy, it seemed like Kangho didn’t have much experience.
His actions and tone of voice seemed full of the spirit of winning and the pride of a non-partisan.
“All right. Let’s get it done first and then go to the top.”
“okay. And you take care of this guy. “You know what to do, right?”
“Do not worry. “I have no intention of taking revenge on Priest Jincheong.”
The bandit who was kneeling had his eyes closed, as if he had already given up on living.
The Taoist master in charge of execution approached him step by step.
Next, the moment when the sword is raised.
Suddenly, the voice of an unfamiliar old man was heard from behind.
“Revenge is good, but when you take someone else’s life, you have to put your own neck on the line as well. “If you don’t have that kind of resolve, lower your sword right now.”
The Taoist monk who was about to cut off the bandit’s head frowned and glared.
“Please reveal who you are.”
“Let’s just say he’s the adult neighbor of the guy sitting over there.”
The bandit was overflowing with emotion and had tears in his eyes.
“Elder….”
The Taoist monks could not move easily and explored Mt. Yujin. This was because he sensed an unknown ominousness in the other person’s spirit.
“If you don’t know anything, don’t come forward.”
“It is you who do not know. “What have I been through?”
Yu Jin-san plunged his long spear deep into the ground.
Phew!
Afterwards, a trembling voice came out of his mouth.
“And that’s how much I’m holding on to right now.”
A cool, deadly energy gently flowed from Yujinsan’s entire body.
At that moment, one of the Taoist monks seemed to notice something and sent a message to his colleague.
– Isn’t he the head of the Yu family, who is wanted by the Murim League for execution?
– Looking at the unusual window and the child on the back, it seems to be correct.
– This is a great opportunity to gain fame. He said he was an old man who had been retired for a long time, so there wasn’t much to see.
– Just in case, you attack first. I will assist you.
– All right. And make sure the child doesn’t get hurt. They said we must rescue them.
It wasn’t Eugene Mountain who couldn’t guess their whispers.
He sighed and shook his head once.
“They still have a lot of life ahead of them, so I’ll give them one more chance. If you want to just go back like this, tell me now. If you don’t, there will be no mercy in your hands.”
“I’m playing.”
A Taoist monk started running towards Yujinsan.
The tip of the sword raised above the shoulder curved towards Jin-san’s neck.
However, the opponent gently spread his arms, showing a loophole. No, it seemed that way. Until his hands grabbed his head and chin while drawing Taegeuk.
Moreover, since it was so close to my nose, I didn’t have the distance to hit it with the blade.
By the time he opened his eyes in astonishment.
Wood-duk-!
The cheerful sound of the cervical spine rotating echoed through the mountains.
