Chapter 46
Episode 46: I am your grandfather (1)
Experts can guess the level of their opponent just by looking at a single sum.
And the higher the level, the more likely the game will be decided in an instant.
The fight between Baek-gyu and Cheon-su was also coming to an end in the blink of an eye.
“Kaaak!”
Cheonsu’s right arm, clutching the sword, rose into the air.
At the same time, the blade of the sword Baekgyu was holding touched his uvula.
It was a situation where even a little bit of strength could take the opponent’s life.
In silence, the sharp blade of the sword reflected the sunlight and let out a cry.
Slurp-!
Obvious defeat. Cheonsu looked helpless in the face of the overwhelming difference in skill.
He raised his head and looked at the sky without even thinking about stopping the bleeding.
“Stop playing around and kill him quickly.”
“That was my original intention.”
“…?”
“My older brother gave me some advice. “It is good to remove the seeds of the root of the evil in advance, but an even better solution is to make those seeds your own.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Do you think I’ll be your dog?”
Baek-gyu retrieved his weapon and answered with a very serious expression.
“Please, Cheonsu. It is difficult for me to protect this place alone from political factions. “Be a strong tree by my side.”
He was the only transcendent expert among all of Hohyeon’s four factions.
Even though he was a rival, killing him meant exposing himself to greater danger from political factions.
“….”
As Cheonsu hesitated, Baekgyu turned his head and looked at the front door of the corner palace.
There, a woman was trembling, holding her children. At first glance, they were all his relatives.
“Think about it carefully. “Unlike me, you have a lot.”
Even at a late age, Baek-gyu had no children. It was always a worry because I didn’t even know if it was a side effect of the glans hole or if there was another problem.
After thinking for a moment, Cheonsu took a deep breath.
“What are the conditions?”
Instead of answering, Baekgyu stared at Jangryang, the leader of Macheonhoe.
To be exact, it was his shiny head.
“…no way?”
Shaving one’s head soon became a meaning and symbol of loyalty to Paedomun.
Baek-gyu smiled once and turned his back.
“I’ll give you a chance until tomorrow.”
He retrieved the twin swords from his belt and walked out of the manor with great strides.
His men split to the left and right, clearing the way.
Baek-gyu squeezed through them and approached Mt. Yujin. Yu Seol, who was on his back, was burying her face in his shoulder as if she had fallen asleep.
“Let’s go, brother.”
“You worked hard.”
Everyone withdrew, with Baek-gyu and Yu Jin-san leading the way.
As we left the manor, Baek-gyu asked quietly.
“Do you really want to hold a head shaving ceremony?”
“These are people who have no more pride to lose. “I also did Macheonhoe, so what is there that can’t be done with bloodletting?”
“hmm. “I think it was a good idea to keep him alive as you said.”
Yu Jin-san nodded and gazed at the distant mountain.
“The Hwasan faction and the Jongnam faction are not far from here. If the conflict between the political faction and the Sa faction intensifies, it will not be easy for Hohyeon to endure. There is no guarantee that support from the Apostolic Association will arrive on time. “How could you kill a supreme master in such a situation?”
“I guess that’s true too. “I cut off one of my arms just in case, but I think I can easily overpower a decent master with just my left hand.”
Munju Cheonsu, a bloodletting expert. The reason he lost in vain was not because he was weak. Baek Gyu was just too strong.
Cheonsu’s swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and it was difficult for even Yujinsan to match it.
“Anyway, now that Hohyeon has been unified, you will also become an official of the Apostolic Alliance.”
“hmm. “The loser of Huxian is the Commander-in-Chief of Shaanxi, so he will be ranked seventh.”
If you were ranked seventh in the Apostolic Alliance, the distribution was comparable to that of a prominent scholar from a prestigious political faction.
It was literally like he had become a giant of the martial arts world.
“Then, in the future, I will be able to meet in person the key figures of the Apostolic Alliance.”
Baek-gyu knew very well what Jin-san Yu was talking about.
Unidentified monsters who attacked Yugajang. The only clue about them was the dragon tattoo running up their neck.
Perhaps key figures in the Apostolic Alliance with high knowledge might know something.
“I haven’t forgotten you. “I will use Sapa’s information network to find out who the people who made your family like that are.”
“I still can’t sleep at night when I think about the children who died unjustly. “I will never forget Baek-gyu’s help.”
“What do you mean? “If it weren’t for you, our family would have completely collapsed, so I’m even more grateful.”
Gentle smiles appeared on the faces of Jin-san Yu and Baek-gyu.
“You’re going to be even busier from now on. “I have to command Sapa in the Shaanxi region.”
Baekgyu scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.
“Perhaps not so? “Then what do you plan to do from now on, brother?”
“According to the congressman you introduced me to, my life expectancy is not far off. “Before that, I plan to pass on everything I have to my granddaughter.”
“If you want, I will have the kids teach you the martial arts of Paedomun.”
Originally, it is impossible for someone who has built up his skills through the mental methods of the right school to learn the martial arts of a different school with a different nature. However, if it is Yu Seol who has the body of Hwa-kyung, the story is different.
It was a tempting offer, but Jinsan Yu immediately shook his head.
“Thank you, but I decline. “No matter what happens, we can’t shave Seol’s head.”
Baekgyu burst into laughter at his serious expression.
“ha ha ha! What are you doing with such a straight face? “There’s no way I could make such a request, even to Seol, right?”
“I was joking too. We’ll talk later if we need to. “Right now, it’s too much to pass down our family’s martial arts skills.”
* * *
Complete peace has finally come to Hohyeon.
This is because all the Safa people here were united under the name of Baekgyu.
Yu Jin-san, Paedo-mun’s gourmet, was also able to live a more stable life.
Since there was no clue or news about his enemies, he confined himself to his home and devoted all his time to his granddaughter.
They learned the family’s seasonal sword, Salpungchang (殺風槍), and passed on all the martial arts they knew, including Jangbeop, Gyeonggong, and Bobeop, to their children one by one.
Yu Seol’s talent was incredible. As time passed and martial arts grew at an alarming rate, there was a need to hide it from the outside world.
Baek-gyu even created a separate closed training ground within Paedomun for the purpose of speaking. He knew exactly what the child was capable of and did not spare any investment.
Time passed like a flowing stream as daily life repeated itself.
And just like that…
five years have passed.
* * *
“Grandpa!”
The door to the living room burst open and someone came rushing in.
A girl with waist-length hair, big eyes, and a cute face. It was a rumor that was already eight years old. He grew tall enough to reach beyond the waist of an adult.
And Jin-san Yu was lying in a hospital bed. This is because my health has deteriorated rapidly recently.
He had to spend much of the day lying down.
“…Did you successfully complete your Gyeonggong training?”
His voice was as weak as a sick chicken.
Yu Seol knelt in front of her grandfather’s chest and answered in tears.
“huh. “I went all the way to Sohwasan Mountain.”
“…How did you get there so quickly?”
Until last year, Sohwasan Mountain was a place where I hiked the mountain range with my child and did Gyeonggong training.
Because it was quite a distance, it took at least half a day or more.
I have now covered that place by myself in less than an hour. Even as a light exercise.
“I ran and came back.”
“No one saw it, right?”
Yoo Seol nodded and took out something from her pocket.
A black leaf held in a fern-like hand. It had a human-like appearance, like a rare elixir.
“Grandpa, try this. … It shouldn’t hurt.”
It was definitely not a commonly seen leaf.
Although the child was taught about the martial arts elixir, there seemed to be some misunderstanding.
“…that’s a poisonous plant. If you eat it, you will die instantly.”
Of all the poisonous plants, it was Sanggongcho, which was considered the best.
How did they find this thing, which is as rare as an elixir? It was a poisonous plant so dangerous that even Yujinsan, a peak expert, could die.
Yusul looked around as if he couldn’t believe it, then brought it to his mouth as if he wanted to taste it.
Jinsan Yu, who was trying to stop him, gave up when he realized it was already too late.
There was no need to do that in the first place. The granddaughter’s body was an imperishable body that could not be invaded by any poison in the world.
“Oops! It tastes awful!”
Yuseol, who was tasting the leaf, was scared and spat it out.
I ran from mountain to mountain looking for an elixir to give to my grandfather, but it turned out to be a poisonous plant.
The child’s face quickly turns into a crying expression.
Yu Jin-san spoke softly with a kind smile upon seeing his granddaughter worrying about him.
“You can wake up soon, so there’s no need to get herbs or anything now.”
How can you believe that? Tears fell from the corners of Yoo Seol’s eyes as she buried her face in her grandfather’s chest.
“Huh. “Grandpa, you can’t die. How can Seol live alone?”
Yu Jin-san stroked the child’s head and thought for a moment.
‘I guess I can’t put it off any longer.’
If I held on any longer, there was a risk of sudden death at any moment. Fortunately, my granddaughter has grown up a lot, so now there is no problem in proceeding with the transformation with peace of mind.
“Remember what I said before? “You shouldn’t be surprised if your grandfather’s appearance changes a little.”
“Hmph. okay.”
In preparation for this time, it was Yu Jin-san who had explained to the child several times about Hwangol Transformation and Banro Hwan-dong.
“I need to get some rest, so please go out for a while. “Go to your uncles and ask them to play.”
“huh.”
I couldn’t show the child the process of metamorphosis.
After the granddaughter left, Yu Jin-san sat cross-legged and caught his breath.
The conditions were already sufficient, and breaking through the thin Dokmaek was not a task.
‘It would be nice to go back to middle age.’
According to Assemblyman Mayang, it is impossible to predict how young he will become.
Eugene San did not even want to become a young man. I would be satisfied even if I only became ten years younger. At least I was able to see my granddaughter become an adult.
After completing his preparations, he started the attack without hesitation.
Since I had already experienced it once, there were no difficulties.
After a while, as his profound inner strength pierced the poison vein, a surprising change occurred.
Hahahaha!
A dazzlingly brilliant light filled the room.
Jinsan Yu, who was already lost in a trance and wandering through space, could not know that fact.
Wood-duk-! Wood-duk-!
The skin was melting, new flesh was growing, and the bones of the whole body were twisting and constantly changing.
He couldn’t feel anything.
It felt like all the memories of my life were flowing backwards and returning to the beginning.
How much time has passed? I felt my mind gradually becoming clearer. And even the feeling of my body becoming lighter, as if I could jump through the clouds.
Little by little, my body stopped shaking.
After a while, everything became as calm as a lake, and his eyes gently opened.
‘It’s a success. ‘How young have you become?’
It was the part he thought was most important.
The first thing I felt was that everything in the world seemed bigger.
And one more thing. The overly loose jangsam was falling down her shoulders.
‘…no way?’
Yu Jin-san, startled, jumped up from his seat. At that moment, my pants fell down and I felt cool underneath.
His face became thoughtful.
“This can’t be right…”
Yu Jin-san was once again surprised by his own voice. It’s a voice that only children of my granddaughter’s age would make.
My mind went pale, but I couldn’t help but be surprised.
He first looked around the room. Since I was naked, I had to put something on first.
Of course, the clothes I wore before wouldn’t fit. At that time, he saw his granddaughter’s clothes scattered on one side.
I felt a sense of shame, but I was in no position to do anything right now.
I tried on my granddaughter’s clothes and found that they fit her body perfectly, like custom-made clothes. There was no error even in the size of the shoes.
‘My child will be surprised when he sees this, it’s a big deal.’
It was literally crazy and jumping around.
He came out of his residence to find out more about the current situation.
The feel of the wind on my skin was different from before. That’s probably how developed your senses are.
Moreover, it is a lightness that has never been felt before. I felt strange about the freed joints and the faster response time of my body.
“Once upon a time…”
Taaat-!
Yujinsan’s new model hit the ground and spun three times in the air.
Movement as light as a swallow. And when he stretched out his fist, the wind that came out mercilessly was at a level that he could not achieve even in his prime.
When the situation reached this point, there was nothing to be afraid of in the world. I now have the confidence to defeat any enemy I encounter.
‘haha. It feels like it will turn into a bird and fly away.’
Yu Jin-san, feeling somewhat relieved, decided to think positively.
What is important is only what is inside a person. What need is there to cling to something like a shell?
It was a time when he was narcissistic.
“Who are you?”
A familiar voice. It was a rumor that came back before I knew it.
The granddaughter’s gentle presence was no different from before or now.
The only difference is that they are at the same eye level as you.
Jinsan Yu cleared his throat for a moment and spoke with a serious face.
“Don’t be surprised, baby. “I am your grandfather.”
A look of mischief appeared on Yu Seol’s face as she looked at him in confusion.
The child suddenly bent over and pretended to pat his back.
“Then I am your grandmother.”
How dare you play a prank on your grandfather? As expected, he looked like he didn’t believe it.
Yu Jin-san spoke seriously once again.
“Stop playing around and come here. I really…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence. This is because my granddaughter’s new brother disappeared right before my eyes.
A walking method as fast as a beam of light. In an instant, the child reappeared right in front of me and was already clutching his ears.
Avoiding it was a move that was impossible to even guess.
I thought that I had become very strong due to the transformation of Hwangol and anti-Rohwandong, but Yoo Seol had already become a master on a different level.
“Are you a thief? “You stole my clothes and wore them.”
Yu Jin-san, who was caught by his granddaughter, screamed in horror.
“Ahh! This guy! “Can’t you let go of this? I’m your grandfather!”
