Chapter 26
Episode 26: The Master of the Wind Spear (1)
The parchment that came out of the heirloom was as long as half a page.
The clearly written information was clearly at the military level.
Yu Jin-san, who was urgently examining the front part, trembled with both hands.
“…Slaughtering wind spear?”
How can you not know its name? This is the spearing method that made Jajang Yu the best spearman in the world a long time ago.
Since this secret war was put into effect, the family has been in decline.
A world-class martial artist that our ancestors tried so hard to find but could not even find a clue.
I couldn’t express the emotion welling up in my heart.
‘I never thought it would be hidden in an heirloom.’
I was curious about the reason. If there had been a secret from the beginning, there was no way the family would have been wiped out overnight.
The front part was filled with phrases left behind by ancestors.
『My name is Yoo Jeong-pung.』
Isn’t this the name of my ancestor that I have heard so much since I was young?
He was a legendary master from a family that was famous as a Changgwi (槍鬼) more than 200 years ago.
Jinsan Yu sat down and read the contents with an interested expression.
『Nobu wandered throughout the martial arts world throughout his life and was never defeated. I thought that the only people in the world who could deal with me were the Sword Emperor and the Tao Emperor. Until recently.』
If this were true, he would have been at least one of the top ten talents in the entire martial arts world.
He was a greater person than I thought, but his last words were very meaningful.
And the next sentence was even more shocking.
『I am dying now. The injuries are so severe that it is impossible to predict how long he will live.』
Jinsan Yu tilted his head.
Is it possible that such a great expert is about to die? I couldn’t help but wonder.
‘Could it be that he was attacked by several people?’
The handwriting on the parchment exuded urgency.
I had to hurry up and read the following.
『They called it Daemaekilcheongyo, which came from Cheonchukguk in the western region. Although we defeated Geomje and Taowang together, we were not safe either. I don’t know the extent of their power. I’m afraid. I am afraid of dying and leaving them behind in this world.
I could not guess the extent of the power of that place. I only heard that Cheonchukguk also exists in a lawless world like Wurim.
They had cut off communication with the outside world for a very long time, so there was little information.
‘Come to think of it, Geomhu also said he was going to the West Station. ‘What on earth is going on there?’
It felt ominous for some reason, but it had nothing to do with me now.
『Nobu had dueled with them thousands of times in meditation. And only now, on the verge of death, was he able to gain enlightenment and complete the true Salpungchang. However, since their surveillance continues, if this martial arts skill is passed down to future generations, trouble will befall the family.』
Yu Jin-san nodded, deeply admiring his will.
‘You mean you didn’t stop pursuing martial arts even when you were dying? ‘What a great warrior he is.’
And it seemed that the family’s non-military sword, Salpungchang, had developed once again in the hands of the ancestor, who was called Changgwi.
The next sentence contains information related to special expenses.
『According to the fortune teller, after two hundred years, the heirloom will be broken and the family will face a great crisis. According to his fortune telling, I leave behind the enlightenment of my entire life in this Hwaryongshinchang, so that my descendants who are destined to reach it will receive it.
Until then, for the survival of the family, the secret level of the Breath of the Wind Spear is sealed. I hope that Nobu’s arrangement will be of some help.』
The next content was written about spearmanship.
It was Jinsan Yu, who had practiced spearmanship all his life. Just by looking at the composition, you could tell at a glance that it was a great singing technique.
After checking all the contents, he rolled up the parchment and placed it aside.
Although he was happy, there were mixed emotions on his face.
He stared blankly at the setting sunset and let out a deep sigh.
“But my ancestor… The fortune telling that a crisis would come to the family was correct, but the timing seems to have been a bit wrong. “Aren’t I too old to learn new martial arts now?”
In the current situation, what use would the best spear in the world be?
Moreover, now even his arms were sick. Unless you could use both hands, you couldn’t swing the spear properly.
I found the family’s vision that my ancestors had kept hidden, but I felt more disappointed than happy.
It was a moment when I was lost in an inexplicable sense of self-reproach.
Suddenly, the image of his granddaughter caught his eye.
“…hmm?”
Yuseol woke up and was toddling along. But the walking speed was unbelievably fast.
“I’m hungry, Habae!”
Judging from the screaming, it seemed like it was past time to feed him.
At that time, the long, thin stick that the child was holding in his hand caught my eye. It was a toy made by trimming bamboo.
At that moment, Jinsan Yu’s eyes opened brightly.
‘Yes, maybe this secret class is meant to be for Seol.’
It was a problem that there was no need to worry about in the first place.
Isn’t there before your eyes a lineage born with the world’s greatest quality, Seonumjiche?
His expression brightened in an instant, and he lifted the child up and held him in his right arm.
“haha. Okay, let’s go have dinner. “Grandpa cooked meat porridge.”
Jinsan Yu went straight into the kitchen with his granddaughter.
After a while, the noise of flirting inside continued.
“delicious?”
“So cute~.”
“Hehehe. “Yes, yes, there is a lot, so eat slowly.”
Although the wound on his left arm continued to hurt, Jinsan Yu’s laughter was brighter than ever.
After the eclipse has passed. The kitchen door opened forcefully again.
“What should I do? Seol’s stomach is full.”
Before I knew it, Yoo Seol’s stomach, which was as big as my palm, was so full that it felt like it was about to burst.
Perhaps because it was a period of rapid growth, the appetite was great.
Yoo Seol grabbed his only toy as if trying to digest it.
The sight of them waving their long sticks back and forth as if they were dancing was just cute.
“haha. “Let’s play with grandpa.”
Eugene San also picked up a reed near the yard.
His eyes as he looked at his granddaughter were full of pride.
It seemed like he was trying to imitate his usual self, as if he had been watching him for a while.
Of course, it was a movement where I was swinging the ball with excitement alone, but the speed was unusual.
Pot-! Papapot-! Papapot-!
Yujinsan blocks the movement of the stick with reeds. And the rumors that were wildly thrown around to avoid it did not give an inch to each other.
This was an activity closer to play than sparring.
As time passed, Yu Jin-san became very surprised. This is because the granddaughter’s movements were getting faster.
‘Unbelievable…?’
Yoo Seol, whose movements became faster and faster, swung the stick three or four times in one breath.
A movement comparable to that of a top-notch expert. I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
What was even more surprising was that it was continuing to get faster at this moment.
“Take it a little slower.”
However, Yoo Seol seemed to find the grandfather’s reaction amusing and moved even more excitedly.
“Hi~.”
Papapot-! Papapot-!
The movements continued to speed up, eventually surpassing the peak level.
Soon the stick began to dance, avoiding the movement of the reed. Eugene San missed his granddaughter’s movements.
He eventually had no choice but to raise his hands. Because I felt like I would run out of breath if I continued.
“Such a noble guy. Do you really have to beat Grandpa?”
“How fun~.”
Yu Seol loved jumping around in place.
Yu Jin-san, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead, was shocked as he watched the scene. This is because the granddaughter, who was running around, suddenly jumped up like a grasshopper.
The child, soaring like a spring, quickly surpassed the height of three feet.
“Huh!”
Without even thinking, he leapt after the child.
Taaa-!
It seemed like he could snatch it if he just stretched out his hand, but his hand only cut into thin air.
This was because Yuseol bounced his feet in the air and flew up again.
‘Jiunjong (梯雲縱)?’
I can’t believe I’m already applying this strange new method I learned from Hyeonhee. The surprises were endless.
“Hi~.”
Yooseol, who was on the roof, was laughing as if he was making fun of himself.
“This guy needs to get scolded today!”
Not only is flying dangerously, but you’re making fun of your grandfather. I couldn’t just ignore it.
Yujinsan hit the ground and flew up like a hawk towards the roof.
I thought I would definitely be able to catch it this time, but it was a huge mistake. Just like before, as soon as I stretched out my hand, didn’t it disappear like a ghost?
The child had already moved onto the warehouse and was closing his eyes. It looked like a puppy begging to play with itself.
“Hihi.”
“Can’t you come here?”
Jinsan Yu sighed and leaped toward the warehouse again.
The game of tag with my granddaughter continued. His skill at avoiding cooking was unusual.
After half an hour, all his stamina was exhausted and he collapsed on the floor.
“Oh my gosh, I’m going to die.”
I felt like I was going to collapse from exhaustion. When he no longer followed, the child was watching from a distance.
“The snow is here.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t know and left it alone. I didn’t have the energy to chase any more.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, he whispered softly in a dying voice.
“Grandpa, I’m going to die now… From now on, Seol will have to live well alone.”
Yu Jin-san, who was staring at his granddaughter, closed his eyes and fell to the floor.
Yu Seol, who was watching from afar, hesitated and looked around. I became scared when my grandfather didn’t respond after a while.
Suddenly, the child’s eyes filled with moisture.
The child who toddled over grabbed Jinsan’s collar and burst into tears.
“Dukdi ma habae! Hehehe.”
I started laughing, but I held it back and continued pretending to be dead.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my granddaughter crying sadly, covered in tears.
“Ahhh.”
Jin-san Yu was lying still and deep in thought.
If things continue like this, I won’t be able to handle my granddaughter getting stronger. Before you start having fun with dangerous pranks, shouldn’t you find another hobby?
‘It was a mistake to teach the First Order first. I’ll have to learn my family’s secret singing techniques, but there is an order to everything.’
The basis of Confucian martial arts lies in the principle of geongon (乾坤), which emphasizes the inner self with the order and harmony of all things in heaven and earth. And the martial arts that captures its essence is Yugageongunjang.
Geongonjang is relatively not difficult to learn, and since it trains the vital spirit inside the human body, it will definitely help the child’s growth and emotions.
Jinsan Yu whispered in a low voice with his eyes closed.
“…If Seol listens to his grandfather, I think he can survive.”
In response to the grandfather’s reaction, Yoo Seol grabbed his leg and shook it.
“I’ll listen carefully, Dugdima! Hehehe.”
“…Really?”
“huh!”
Yu Jin-san, who looked at the child with narrowed eyes for a moment, grinned and jumped up.
“My Seol won’t cause trouble anymore, so I guess I’ll have to live!” “Now then, shall we try playing something different with Grandpa?”
Yu Seol hugged her grandfather’s legs and nodded.
The operation was a success.
Eugene San took his granddaughter and moved to the wide center of the yard to stand facing each other.
“Now then, try imitating your grandfather from now on.”
Jinsan Yu, with his legs spread shoulder-width apart, lowered his posture and slowly rotated his arms. Its appearance was as flexible as the flapping wings of a crane and overflowing with elegance.
The sight of Yoo Seol imitating himself in front of me was very cute. The limbs were short and seemed to lack flexibility, but it looked quite decent.
“Have you harmed yourself?”
“Very good! Now take a slow breath and feel the wind. “It is a wind that continues like flowing water and is ever-changing.”
It seemed like he understood half of it, as he was taking deep breaths.
Jinsan Yu started the next move with a happy smile.
His whole body slowly moved like a wave, depicting the harmony of heaven and earth.
It was a gungonjang that was taught not for the purpose of martial arts, but for the purpose of mental and physical training.
His arms continued endlessly like clouds advancing in silence.
“Now exhale and repeat. “Your mind will become clearer.”
As instructed, Yuseol put her small lips together like a chick.
“Whoa~.”
Jin-san Yu, watching his granddaughter, never left a smile on his face. This is because the child’s movements following him were unusual.
Even qualities and flexibility that go beyond imagination. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I was born to learn this.
“Hehehe! excellent! “That’s great!”
Yu Jin-san, who was laughing, took a step forward. From now on, he was going to show off his herbivory in earnest.
