Chapter 22
Episode 22 Let’s exchange martial arts with me (2)
As promised, Hyeonhee came without missing a day.
He was a child born with the same qualities as her idol, Geomhu. Perhaps that’s why the will to raise it on my own was sparked.
But how easy would it be to teach the teachings of God to a two-year-old?
Even though he was a gifted child, he was at an age where he lacked understanding, so no matter how many times I recited the phrases, it was of no use.
A month had passed like that.
Finally, a significant change came to Yoo Seol. As I showed it repeatedly with my body, I began to learn it on my own.
“It’s dangerous up there!”
Like a spring bouncing, the new form of Yusul was continuously rising.
As if that wasn’t enough, he changed his posture several times in the air. In the end, it was waving its arms like a bird.
Of course there was no way I could fly.
Hyunhee was in a panic as she was struggling to catch the sudden drop.
Kuung-!
She barely got the baby and screamed with joy.
“Ouch! “Good job Seol!”
Seeing that Yooseol was smiling, it seemed like he thought he was being praised.
“Have you harmed yourself? Hey~”
“It’s really amazing. If our Lunar New Year becomes famous later, we must not forget you. Understand?”
Hyunhee’s heart had already become that of a teacher who had raised the supreme leader of the martial arts world.
It was still at a clumsy level, but as proficiency increased, movement in the air would become somewhat freer, so a stable fall would be possible.
At that time, Jin-san Yu approached from behind.
“haha. “You’re truly talented, teaching a two-year-old child the Gyeongshin method.”
Before I knew it, Hyunhee’s shoulders were growing stronger.
“I’m usually pretty good at anything once I start. But something is strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a bit different from the Jeun Sect of the Shaman faction. You could say the movement is more like the wind…”
Yu Jin-san also nodded once as if he agreed.
“It certainly seems like that. “I thought you meant it.”
“No, grandfather. “What kind of talent can I have that can change martial arts?”
It means that Yuseol transformed itself in the process of learning.
I couldn’t give an answer right now on how to interpret this situation.
“Is it a coincidence? There’s nothing bad about it. “I won’t hear that you went somewhere and learned martial arts by stealing from a Shaman faction.”
“Yes, probably. So what should I teach you from now on?”
Jinsan Yu gave a puzzled look.
“hmm. Isn’t the contract over now? “You don’t have to come here anymore.”
In return for passing on the Jeun sect to her granddaughter, she had taught Hyeonhui about Yugageongunjang. So there was nothing to see anymore.
But she couldn’t take her steps, as if she felt regretful. It might be because he had become attached to the child in the meantime.
“But… I want to tell you something else too.”
“I have no martial arts skills to exchange with you anymore. “I don’t think he would want to learn spearmanship, and other than that, I can’t say that the Yu family’s martial arts skills are better than those of the shaman faction.”
“I’m not asking for anything in return. I want to come and see Seol at least occasionally. “Please allow me, grandfather.”
Jinsan Yu thought for a moment.
As she takes care of her child, she has more time to focus on her inner strength training. That meant accelerating the time to complete transformation.
It was an offer with absolutely nothing to lose.
“Is that okay? “As the commander-in-chief, you must be busy with wild vegetables.”
“are you okay. “Nothing special happening these days?”
Yu Jin-san stared over her shoulder and then chuckled.
“But the kids in the living quarters don’t seem to think so.”
A feeling of popularity that is growing bigger and bigger. When Hyunhee turned her head, two bandits wearing straw hats were running towards her.
As soon as they arrived, they bent down from the waist toward Mt. Yujin.
“Hello, old man!”
After confirming that Yu Jin-san nodded, they handed over Hyeon-hee again.
“Commander, I think you need to go alive immediately.”
“why?”
“The Bihochae guys managed to cross into our territory.”
Another bandit gang not far away was a rival to Heuksando.
They were famous for being quite aggressive and cruel in their methods.
At that time, Hyunhee’s innocent face suddenly turned cold.
“How many people?”
“About ten people. “Mr. Debt left first with a few children.”
Hyunhee snorted as if she was shocked.
“under. It’s ridiculous that I actually said let’s see. “There is no need to go there alive, so guide me there right now.”
“Yes, it’s not far from here.”
Jinsan Yu silently took the child and motioned for him to go.
“Grandpa, I’ll come back later.”
“See you next time, old man!”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching their backs, shook his head excitedly.
‘This is something I will live to see for a long time. ‘I can’t believe a shaman sect’s shamanist master could change like that.’
Hyeonhee was the second most powerful person in Heuksando after Chaeju. Moreover, since the bandits under his command were also learning the swordsmanship of the Shaman faction, there was no reason for him to be pushed back in the battle for power.
However, whether they won or lost had nothing to do with Yujinsan.
He held his granddaughter’s hand as she placed it on the floor and walked into the kitchen.
“Let’s just eat something.”
“Seol rice cedar.”
Even if I didn’t know anything else, I understood the word ‘food’ like a ghost.
“Actually, our lunch today is aaptang. “It’s a stew made with duck meat.”
“twine?”
I couldn’t help but find it funny to see him blinking with a serious face.
“OK.”
“Hi-Hi.”
The smile on his face at the mention of eating meat could no longer be pure.
But it was impossible to just look at it with joy.
‘It’s a big deal. ‘The little thing has already learned the taste of meat, so its spine will be bent from now on.’
At that time, Yuseol stopped walking and pointed his index finger at the sky.
“Hey, what is that?”
Two sparrows were flying side by side under the clouds.
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he wanted to fly like that too.
“They are sparrows. If you have friends like that to rely on, you can go farther. “Just like us.”
This time, Yoo Seol’s gaze turned to the floor.
“Hey, what is this?”
“This is an earthworm. “Don’t touch it because it’s dirty.”
“Earthworm ouch. “The ant friends are like this.”
Yu Seol’s curiosity knew no bounds.
Answering each question might have been a bit embarrassing, but it was fun for him.
As time passed, teaching languages became more and more fun. This is because he was so clever that he never forgot a word once it was taught to him.
Yu Jin-san entered the kitchen and looked at the furnace under the pot containing Aaptang.
“The fire has gone out in this furnace. “I’ll bring you a flint, so please wait here for a moment.”
“huh!”
Yu Jin-san came out for a moment, leaving his granddaughter alone in the kitchen.
“Where did you leave the flint?”
He tilted his head and entered a small warehouse where farm equipment and other items were stored. The purpose was to take out spares in a hurry.
After a while, he returned to the kitchen with his tools and looked around.
“Where has our granddaughter gone? Seol-ah!”
In the meantime, it disappears so quickly. I couldn’t take my eyes off it even for a moment.
In the past, I would have detected it as a presence, but after my granddaughter returned home, it was difficult to detect her even if she was right behind me.
“….”
Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to use the last resort. Eugene San shouted as he dipped the ladle into the Aaptang.
“If you don’t come out, Grandpa will eat all the meat alone!”
It was then. As if I had been waiting, a familiar voice came softly from somewhere.
“The Lunar New Year becomes a sparrow.”
It was the kitchen ceiling. Yu Jin-san was shocked to see his granddaughter hanging there like a bat.
“It’s a surprise! I can’t use it if I startle my grandfather. “Come down quickly!”
Yoo Seol spread his arms and jumped as if he was having fun. Although the fall wasn’t free yet, it seemed like he knew that he wouldn’t get hurt if he fell.
“Hi~”
When I saw his bright smiling face, I couldn’t bear to scold him. Above all, it was the rule of the head of the Yu family not to make loud noises in front of the dinner table.
“Let’s fill our bellies first and see.”
He squatted in front of the furnace and rubbed the flint on the cotton pad.
Chiit-! Chiit-!
I tried it several times, but it didn’t catch fire easily. It was because it rained yesterday and the cotton was damp.
In the meantime, Yooseol reacted as if it seemed fun to see the lightning flashing up.
“I want to try it too, Seol.”
It won’t be of any use anyway, but isn’t it worth it? Yu Jin-san handed over the flint before the child got angry.
The rubbing together was quite believable. It’s probably because I’ve watched my grandfather do it a few times.
But what can a child do that even Jin-san Yu couldn’t do? Not even a flash of lightning appeared.
When things didn’t go as planned, Yu Seol’s eyes gradually gained strength. He must be grumpy.
“This is not as easy as I thought. “Give it back.”
“Cedar!”
The will to light the fire was burning brightly in his eyes.
‘This is it. ‘You are very stubborn, just like Abby.’
Yoo Seol was the last child of the deceased youngest son.
As his granddaughter’s image overlapped with his son’s, Yu Jin-san’s expression gradually turned sad.
It was when he was lost in reminiscence for a moment.
Grrrr-!
Suddenly, the cotton burned violently. It was never the strength of flint.
Yu Jin-san was so startled that he almost fell backwards.
“…Samsamadhi evolution? “How did you do it?”
Samadhi Evolution (Samadhi True Fire). It was a skill that created flames using internal energy and could only be used if one had enormous internal strength.
By the standards of absolute masters who have achieved the Hwagyeong, it does not even fall into the category of minor skills such as samadhi evolution, but what is surprising is that the granddaughter did it on her own without learning from anyone.
“Have you harmed yourself?”
It was so amazing that I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
First, I patted the child’s head and praised him.
‘The heavens have bestowed the seed of martial arts upon our family.’
First, I decided to fill my stomach and slowly think about the current situation.
A little while after the fire was lit in the furnace, the pre-boiled soup became warm.
The two squatted down across from each other in the narrow kitchen and prepared to eat Aaptang in earnest.
“Aaptang’s soup is the best. “It will taste good.”
As soon as he unwrapped the ladle, Yuseol’s mouth automatically opened.
The soup was hot, but it didn’t burn my tongue. Isn’t Hwagyeong’s body capable of withstanding lava?
However, in Yu Jin-san’s eyes, she was just an infinitely delicate granddaughter.
When I blew air into it a few times and put it in my mouth, dimples appeared on my plump cheeks.
“My dear. “My ears are blocked.”
Jinsan Yu nodded and picked up the duck meat again.
“haha. It’s not your ears that are blocked, but your energy. Now try eating meat too.”
I was full just looking at my granddaughter eating well.
The two sat facing each other for a long time and enjoyed a meal in privacy. It was after the solar eclipse.
Suddenly a familiar voice was heard from outside.
“Oh, old man!”
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be one of the bandits of Heuksan Island.
I couldn’t tell what was going on, but it seemed very urgent.
“Come in.”
I gasped as a familiar bandit appeared through the kitchen entrance. He was one of the people who left with Hyunhee a little while ago.
“Please help me too, old man.”
For some reason, his voice was filled with fear. It was incomprehensible.
“Did you get bullied by the Bihochae guys? “I’m not interested in fighting bandits.”
“no. “The Bihochae guys also ran away here.”
Bandits from another nearby force escaped here? I didn’t understand at all.
It didn’t feel good. It seemed like something terrible was happening on this mountain.
“From whom?”
“A Taoist from the Shaman sect… is wandering around the mountain, massacring wherever he can.”
