Chapter 2
Episode 2 You can never die (2)
A basin in an unknown mountain.
An old man was sitting down and massaging his arms and legs.
Because of the profound inner energy, breathing was steady, but the bones and muscles did not calm down.
“How on earth would anyone dare…”
Yu Jin-san thought about the situation from a moment ago. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t guess the pleural effusion.
The only clue is the dragon tattoo wrapped around the nape of his neck.
I was beside myself with a mixture of anger and sadness.
“Mites.”
Her granddaughter, Yuseol, was cradled on her lap.
His eyes as he looked at the baby were full of love.
He was a child born with the muscles of the seonumji body.
Because he was born with the five senses of a hermit, he is gifted with natural talents in music and martial arts.
Soso, a legendary master who conquered the martial arts world single-handedly. She was also famous for being a seonumji.
“Mites.”
“Why is my granddaughter crying? “Would you like to play with your grandpa?”
When I touched the baby with my finger, it started crying even louder.
“Mite! “Mite!”
Yu Jin-san’s complexion darkened. This was because I could guess what the baby wanted.
Maybe he was hungry.
“Where do you get your milk from?”
It was a dangerous situation to go down to the village.
But you can’t starve. The old man sighed and got up again without any time to rest.
Wood-duk-!
Once again, my bones twisted and a moan came out.
“Kwaaaak!”
I can’t believe I’m going through such a hard time waiting for the day I die to sort out my life.
The pain would continue for some time to loosen the stiffened joints. I was on the verge of tears.
He sighed and wrapped his granddaughter in a blanket and tied it to his back.
“Let’s go to the village first.”
The limping steps headed back to the outskirts of the village.
I had to avoid areas near my house because there might be evil beasts ambushing me.
I went down the mountainside and looked around.
Because the sun was setting, there was no sign of anyone on the street.
As he looked around, his complexion suddenly brightened. This was because a cow was found in a private house.
“Wait just a moment, Yuseol. “Grandpa finally did it.”
The old man secretly entered the cage and found a bamboo tube nearby.
There was no room for hesitation. I started milking a cow for the first time in my life.
Is there anything I wouldn’t do for a granddaughter like Geum Geum-ok-yeop?
Kuuk-! Kuuk-!
I had to squeeze it in as much as possible. It was difficult to go back and forth here.
It was about halfway through.
Mmmmm~
“Shh. “It’s almost over, so stay quiet.”
As the cows began to moo in succession, Yujinsan became desperate.
just as expected. I sensed someone’s presence behind me.
When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged woman with a bulging belly screaming.
“You’re a thief!!!”
The voice was so loud that it made the inside of us vibrate.
“Please take a look. “There are some circumstances now, so I will make sure to compensate you later.”
She approached with great strides and suddenly swung the bowl she was holding.
It was a blow that could have been easily avoided, but there was no need to do so.
Kwasik-!
The gourd that hit the top of the head squarely shattered and scattered.
“I’m playing. “This damn old man has nothing to steal, so he even steals our Geumsun’s milk?”
Geumsuni seemed to be the name of a cow.
Yu Jin-san, who had suddenly been hit by a bowl, was dumbfounded.
“How can you beat a helpless old man like this? “Didn’t you say you were only borrowing it for a while?”
“Tell me the truth before I take you to the government office. “Where did you steal the baby!?”
The woman’s temperament was unusual. He was someone I could never communicate with.
To make matters worse, I began to detect signs of other residents approaching this way.
I couldn’t afford to hesitate any longer.
“I gave you a blow, so I guess I’ll consider it as a price paid.”
With those words, Yu Jin-san quickly ran away.
Since he was an ordinary person who had not learned martial arts, it was not difficult to outwit him.
I can’t believe it was like this in his later years. I couldn’t help but feel sad.
Wasn’t he the head of a fairly well-known family in the region?
“Huh….”
A sigh came out the entire time I was performing the light attack.
Still, my heart felt lighter. This is because I was looking for milk to feed my beloved granddaughter.
Arriving at a basin in the mountains, the old man headed to a nearby valley.
In his hand was the pot he had taken with him when he ran away. After cleaning it, he lit a bonfire nearby.
“It is dangerous to just feed raw milk.”
The milk from the bamboo tube was put into a pot and boiled over a bonfire.
Then, I put a little bit of it in the leaves and started feeding it to the baby.
“You were hungry, right? “Go ahead and try it.”
“Mites.”
The way he was waving his hands seemed like he was asking for something quickly.
Jinsan Yu carefully pushed it into his granddaughter’s mouth.
I was happy to see that he was receiving it well.
“Heh~”
Seeing the innocent smiling face, all the pain from before seemed to have disappeared.
It was then.
Jinsan Yu, who was smiling, suddenly fell to the floor. Then his whole body convulsed and he screamed like crazy.
“Kwaaaak!”
The pain felt like my head was going to explode.
He held his head with both hands and curled up like a shrimp.
“…Keueuuuuu.”
Jin-san Yu continued to scream as if he was in pain.
A lot of time has passed for that to happen.
The writhing body fell limp. I didn’t have the strength to lift a finger.
How much time has passed? At some point, I heard birds chirping in my ears.
I just thought I was closing my eyes for a moment. Eugene San quickly stood up and looked for his granddaughter.
“Yuseol, my baby!”
Fortunately, the baby was sleeping soundly.
He sighed, sat cross-legged and thought deeply.
‘If things continue like this, I won’t be able to last much longer. At least I have to stay alive until Yuseol’s safety is secured.’
After much thought, one method came to mind.
Bone metamorphosis. This is a phenomenon that occurs when the Imdok Yang vein is struck, and the bones and flesh of the entire body are reorganized and the body is reborn as the most suitable body for performing martial arts.
Tumors and such can be cured at once.
But it wasn’t as easy as it seemed. This is because as you get older, your body becomes full of turbid energy and requires more energy.
‘To pierce the Imdok Yang vein for the Hwan-gol transformation, you need three levels of inner energy. But that means I have to hold out for five more years.’
Yu Jin-san already had an internal strength that far exceeded this figure.
It was a situation where about five years of additional training was needed to hit the three-point scale.
It’s hard to survive even a day right now, so five years.
It wasn’t a situation where I could think about it alone and come up with an answer.
There was someone I needed to meet.
* * *
The main hall of Uihwadang.
Jinsan Yu, who was hiding nearby, watched the entrance.
At one point, a middle-aged man wearing a white bandana was walking towards there.
– Seokduya.
It was Jeoneum, a martial arts technique that conveys words in one’s head.
Seokdu looked around in confusion.
– Turn to the right and go behind the third plum tree you see.
He reached his destination after a month.
There, Eugene San was holding a baby wrapped in a blanket.
“What happened? Rumors are already spreading around town. “I was worried.”
“I don’t know what’s happening either. Anyway, I need to help you.”
“Didn’t my father also receive help from an elder when he was younger? Just say the word. “Of course we should help.”
“Just let me last five years.”
“That… doesn’t you know that it’s difficult?”
Eugene San’s eyes calmed down.
He spoke clearly with a face full of seriousness.
“You must last for five years. You are the best councilor in this town. “Think carefully about how to do it.”
Even if a divine doctor came, there was no way to save him.
Seokdu thought for a moment and said with a dark face.
“There’s one thing worth trying if you’re just holding on… but everything comes at a cost.”
“Good job Seokdu. I thought there was a way for you. “Go ahead and tell me.”
“It is about suppressing poison with poison. If you take brain gong pills, the growth of the tumor on the elderly person’s head will be slowed down as it will not be able to use its strength. But…”
“But…?”
“Unbearable pain will come periodically until you die.”
Jinsan Yu also knew about the brain attack, so he wasn’t surprised.
It was a widely used poison to torture prisoners without killing them, and it was not difficult to prepare and it was simple to make an antidote.
“It doesn’t matter, so hurry up and make it.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind? Just in case, I will also prepare an antidote for you.”
“There is no need for an antidote, so hurry as much as possible. If I die while waiting, will you take responsibility?”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Seokdu’s face.
“…I heard yesterday that you have no regrets about life?”
“I can’t die until my granddaughter is all grown up.”
After Seokdu disappeared, Yujinsan sat down and leaned behind a tree. Seeing my granddaughter Yooseol sleeping soundly made me feel peaceful.
‘Don’t worry. ‘Grandpa will definitely be able to survive.’
He also leaned his head behind the tree and slept for a while.
After an hour passed, Seokdu approached again.
“You made it, but decide well. And this is goldenrod. “Chewing when the pain comes will help a little.”
Jinsan Yu patted his shoulder and asked for gratitude.
“In the name of the head of the Yu family, I will never forget this favor.”
“The reward is good, so just be healthy. But if you’re a Confucian head, don’t you know some clans in the martial arts world? “Why are you hiding instead of asking for help?”
“There is no clan that would take risks for the collapsed Sega. Besides, I don’t know which Goyan bastards attacked, so how could I go out to the river without permission? Anyway, I guess I’ll have to go now.”
“yes. “Then take a look, old man.”
They said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
Yu Jin-san, who came running to the hill a month later, started to confess his brain pain.
The pain did not follow immediately. There was no way to know at the moment whether it came once every few days or continued every day.
‘Five years until the transformation. It would be impossible with my current body to hold on until then.’
First of all, I had to train my physical strength.
After placing the remains neatly in a safe place, he took off his top.
Contrary to appearance, his upper body was revealed to be quite strong. It was thanks to the strength I had built up during my childhood.
I took a deep breath while clutching my family’s treasure, the Fire Dragon Spear.
“Whoop.”
As I took the plunge, a cool wind blew around me.
Dark eyebrows revealed between flowing white hair. And the handsomely grown beard looked like a immortal.
It has been about 30 years since herbivory began.
The slowly extending tip of the spear contained ten thousand changes.
When he was young, he was even nicknamed the best spearfisher in the island.
All movements and experiences were already familiar to me.
Confucian singing method, Jeolchosik Chuilgeukseom (追一極閃).
It was a sharp spear that pierced the enemy in front with lightning-like speed.
Paaaaang-!
The tip of the spear split the air, creating a whirlwind. It was a move that contained tremendous inner strength.
And a cheerful sound heard at the same time.
Boom!
“Aaaah! “My my waist!”
Jinsan Yu put down his spear and knelt down.
The vegetarian meal was definitely perfect. However, the body cannot keep up.
After suffering for a long time, he was finally able to stand up.
As it was, there was no answer.
‘We need to change our training method. The priority is to loosen stiffened bones and build strength first.’
After resting for a while, I began to warm up with light exercise.
Afterwards, several large stones rolling around in the valley were moved.
It was larger than an adult’s head. It was appropriate for a start.
I grabbed it with both hands and raised it above my head and lowered it repeatedly.
“one-! two-!”
It was very basic physical training, but every moment felt like I was lifting Mount Tai.
