Episode 54: Yang and Yin (1)
Hwayanghyeon. It was the name of a nearby village not far from Jongnam Mountain.
Two children with flowers in their hair were walking down the street holding hands.
“Oh my, you’re so cute. “I guess they are brother and sister?”
“Are you twins? “How can they look so similar?”
Jinsan Yu couldn’t raise his head. This is because every adult I met on the street gave me a happy smile.
Every time that happened, I couldn’t explain it in detail, so I just kept my head down.
I could only take comfort in seeing my granddaughter so excited for the first time in a while.
“It’s my grandfather!”
A wealthy-looking middle-aged couple held their bellies and took out several coins.
“Hahaha. He looks cute and is also witty. Now, buy something delicious and eat it.”
“Hi-Hi. Thank you!”
The couple who handed out the coins took turns stroking the children’s heads.
Unlike her favorite granddaughter, Yu Jin-san had mixed feelings.
“....”
Who dares pat their own head? Still, it was pointless to get angry in the guise of a child.
‘I’m going crazy. ‘I’ll have to find a way.’
As he was sighing, Yoo Seol grabbed his hand and led him somewhere.
“Grandpa, let’s buy something delicious with this! “I’ll buy it for you.”
It was enough money to buy a couple of snacks. Jin-san Yu also brought some money with him, but decided to watch first.
The smile never left the child’s face.
The streets were full of street vendors and the smell of delicious snacks filled the air.
How long has it been since the two of you walked around town together like this?
I came out a few times last year, but because my health wasn’t good, I couldn’t afford it like I do now.
The granddaughter, standing tall in front of the street vendor, smiled brightly as she held out two coins.
“Uncle, please give me two tanghulu!”
It was a skewer made of hawthorn fruit coated with honey and hardened, and was Yuseol’s favorite snack.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the skillful way they were ordering.
It seemed like he went out alone and bought a lot while he was lying in a hospital bed.
The stall owner held out two skewers with a happy smile.
“Here we are, our little guests.”
After receiving Tanghulu, Yu Seol offered one to her grandfather.
“delicious. “Try it.”
“...hmm?”
Tanghulu. It was a snack that only kids eat, but he didn’t even remember eating it.
But how could I ignore what my granddaughter bought for me for the first time in my life?
Moreover, he was staring intently in front of me with an expectant expression.
After hesitating for a moment, Jinsan Yu took a bite.
“uh?”
An exclamation came out without me realizing it. Has your taste buds also become younger due to Banro Hwan-dong? It was amazing how delicious this was.
“Hi-Hi. how is it?”
“It’s worth eating.”
Chairs carved from logs were prepared throughout the market.
The two, each holding Tanghulu, found a suitable place and sat down.
It was a time when I was enjoying some leisure time under the warm sunlight.
Yoo Seol took out the bag from his pocket and asked.
“Grandpa, what do you want to eat again?”
The rattling sound inside the bag was by no means a small amount.
Moreover, the contents look heavy. Incredibly, he seemed to be a hermit.
Even though it was a coin, it was not money that children could touch.
Where on earth did this large amount of money come from? I couldn’t help but be curious about the source.
“Where did you get the money?”
Yu Seol opened the pouch and showed it to him, answering with a serious face.
“I picked it up on the roof. “I’m rich now.”
“...my house?”
He robbed the Cheonryong Sanghoe and hid the remaining money on the roof of the pavilion.
How on earth did you discover that?
“huh! “Why?”
I was astonished to see the child asking the question in a nonchalant manner.
Are you asking because you really don’t know? Or is he pretending not to know even though he knows? I wasn’t sure.
It was my fault for storing it poorly outside the house, so I didn’t want to scold him.
Kwasik-!
“Ugh!”
Cheongwoondaewon flew backwards faster than the speed at which he was running.
And in the place where he was, there were two children standing awkwardly.
“Is it bitter to persecute a dying person like that?”
Everyone was confused by Yu Jin-san’s words.
Contrary to his appearance, his tone of voice and composure show his age.
These skills could never be possessed by a child.
There are many unknown spirits in Moorim.
The experienced warriors of the Murim Alliance were very wary of the two people in the form of children.
“Do you think you will be safe even if you block the Murim Alliance’s path?”
As long as the name of the Murim Alliance is mentioned, it is normal to back down unless it is a hostile force.
However, that did not happen to Yu Jin-san, who came with determination.
“I stopped it because it was a martial arts alliance.”
It became clear in his words.
When it was confirmed that they were hostile forces, tension and anger appeared on the faces of the Cheongwoondae members.
Conversely, a light of hope appeared on the face of the man in black groaning behind his back.
“...Are you Safa people?”
A word came loudly from behind my back.
While Yujinsan blocked the front of the Cheongwoondae members, Yuseol looked back.
“yes that’s right!”
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief and took out the sealed letter from his pocket.
“Be sure to deliver this to the Apostolic Training.”
His hand was shaking as he handed me the letter. Life will be dying out.
However, Yoo Seol tilted his head as if he had no idea what he was talking about.
“Who is Apostle?”
It was impossible for Safa people to not know the Apostolic Training. Those words were like saying that the political faction did not know the Murim Alliance.
The person in black thought that Banrohwandong Gosu, who looked like a girl, was playing a prank.
Otherwise, how could he be so relaxed in front of the warriors of the Murim Alliance? Moreover, he didn’t even look nervous.
This probably means that he is confident in his abilities.
‘It’s heavenly luck. ‘To meet a Sapa expert before I die.’
The man in black, who had been holding on with his inner strength, squeezed his last strength and uttered the last words of his life.
“The future of our Sapa is in your hands. Come on...”
It’s a dying person’s wish, so why can’t they grant it?
Yu Seol nodded with a serious expression.
“all right.”
Yoo Seol, who was handed the letter unexpectedly, kept it in her arms.
The man in black, who saw this, slowly collapsed as if he had finished his work.
At that time, Cheongundae’s threats continued behind his back.
“Hurry and hand it over. “Unless you want to meet the same fate.”
Yoo Seol, facing them, shrugged his shoulders with an expressionless face.
“No. “I promised you.”
Has it been decided that further conversation is meaningless? The Cheongwoondae members simultaneously raised their swords.
“You choose death. “Don’t blame us.”
Cheongwoondae members begin their movement. At that moment, both Yujinsan and Yuseol’s hands spread out like the wings of a white crane.
It was a ceremony to receive the Geongonjang (乾坤掌), the pride of the head of the Confucian family.
The two were moving in uniform motions without the slightest error, as if they were one body. It was an impossible move if we had not been training together for a long time.
Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter, who were drawing the Taegeuk sign with both hands, gave a simultaneous shout as if pushing back the current.
The lightning-like speed that suddenly increased was not at a level that the Cheongwoondae members could avoid.
Tsk-!!!
The two people running at the front emitted a wave of energy centered on their abdomen.
There wasn’t even a scream. He must have fainted all at once.
And the power of Gungonjang did not end there.
A powerful tension escaped from behind their backs. The group of Ki that turned into a gust of wind struck the two crew members who were following them one after another.
Kwakwang-!!
The two people, with both feet lifted from the ground, bounced backwards and collided with their colleagues coming from behind again.
Kukkung-!!
“Kaaak!”
“Tsk!”
In the blink of an eye, the six members of the Blue Cloud were rolling around on the floor.
In one move, everyone was neutralized.
How is this possible? The faces of the Cheongwoondae members were full of resentment.
