Episode 57: You can’t go without my permission (1)
A training ground at night under the moonlight.
Jinsan Yu was teaching his granddaughter how to fight.
His face was full of pride after he demonstrated it.
“There is nothing better than fighting a strong enemy. This is our family’s Yue-a-ssang-chang-jin (月兒雙槍陳).”
“Grandpa and I are doing it together?”
“You saw it right. “If the two of us can do it together and work well together, the power is doubled.”
“It sounds fun~ Let’s try it together quickly.”
Jin-san Yu nodded, spread his feet shoulder-width apart and said.
“I’ll show you one more time, so get used to it.”
Yu Jin-san took his stance and slowly extended his wooden spear. Then, he spun around again and walked the steps.
Although the movement was slow, it was dazzling and gentle.
His figure moving in the wind looked like he was dancing with a spear.
“The most important thing in Changjin is the streets. “If we take away the opponent’s distance and protect our own, we cannot be defeated.”
“okay.”
Yu Jin-san continued to move and talk non-stop.
“If the opponent does not come to me and retreats, I advance. I push and you pull. “Those trapped in the camp cannot attack us and cannot escape the camp.”
Yoo Seol, who was imagining the other person’s appearance, muttered as if he felt pity.
“Hmph. “Then I feel sorry for you.”
“In a battle where life is at stake, mercy is a luxury. “This is Yue-A-Ssang-Chang-Jin, who thoroughly harasses and torments the other party.”
Paaaang-!
Among the martial arts people, more than 90 percent use short sword-like weapons.
To take advantage of that point, the attack formation that maximized the long striking distance of the long spear was the Yuega double spear formation.
At some point, his movements suddenly became faster. This is because betting began in earnest.
Paaaang-! Paaaang-!
The wooden spear contained the power to break rocks, and its movement was as fast as a thunderbolt.
And it was when his movements reached their peak.
Yu Jin-san, who was showing Chang-jin a demonstration, was startled.
“I want to do it too.”
The granddaughter who was watching suddenly burst into Jinse.
“...?”
I wanted to scream at my granddaughter that it was dangerous, but there was no time for that.
The original method is only possible through countless repetitions and practice.
How can we fight together without even working together? In common sense, it was impossible.
But, unbelievably, Yoo Seol was already swinging the spear in unison with her.
‘This can’t be possible... How does this happen?’
Jin-san Yu was embarrassed, but once the battle started, it could not be easily stopped. For now, I decided to watch and continue taking action.
And it didn’t take long to realize that his concerns were unfounded. This is because Yu Seol was controlling his movements at his own pace.
‘She’s my granddaughter, but she’s truly amazing. Who in the history of martial arts has there ever been a child with this level of natural talent?’
As the spear reached orbit, the two spears interlocked and began to dominate space.
Whirring! Whirring!
A small space between Eugene San and his granddaughter.
Hundreds of spears were leaving afterimages in a distance of less than two feet. It looked like flower petals blown by a gust of wind were spraying water into the air.
Changjin, a perfect combination.
Among them, Yu Jin-san, who was dancing the dance, had a proud expression on his face.
Yu Seol couldn’t help but feel good after seeing her grandfather’s smile.
“Hi-Hi.”
Baek-gyu also waited silently without disturbing him. Whenever there was a problem with the clan, didn’t his wisdom always play a decisive role?
Even though I knew it was a difficult situation, I couldn’t help but have some expectations.
After a while, Jinsan broke the silence and slowly opened his mouth.
“There are not only political and ideological factions in Moorim.”
After a while, Baekgyu noticed his intention and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you really saying that we should request support from a neutral force? “There’s no way there could be a force so big that it’s officially hostile to the political faction, right?”
“Why not? Isn’t there a place here in Shaanxi Province? “The only force that can keep the volcanic wave in check.”
Even though the name was not mentioned, Baekgyu understood it immediately. There was only one neutral force in Shaanxi that had such a large presence.
But his expression never brightened.
“...it’s too dangerous to bring them in.”
“For now, that’s the only way. No matter what happens, we have to convince the Black Cat.”
Heukmyo faction (黑卯派). It was a sect famous for being the best assassination group in the central region.
They were fearsome people who did not set standards for political factions or factions, accepted requests only according to established rules, and never let go of the goal they set.
I can’t believe I’m asking for help from those assassins. It was Baek Gyu, whom I had never thought about before.
“But why are they helping us?”
Jinsan Yu shook his head with confident eyes.
“If the Sa faction is wiped out, will the political faction just leave the murderers like they are now? If we tell you the current situation, he will definitely be with us. “They also don’t want the balance of the martial arts world to be disrupted.”
It certainly made sense.
It was definitely worth a try, but one problem remained.
“It will not be easy to contact them because they operate in the shadows. There is a mediation plan, but unless it is a request, I doubt that the information will be conveyed well to the higher-ups...”
“I don’t have time to approach it in a normal way. Did you say that the Black Cat’s headquarters is Muak Mountain? “I will go and see Munju myself.”
Baek-gyu looked down with a slightly surprised expression.
“There is a rumor going around that there is a network of assassins spreading across Muaksan Mountain. If I’m not careful, I might die before I meet Moonju, but it’s too dangerous to send him alone. “I guess it would be better for me to go.”
“In the current situation, would it be okay for you, who are supposed to be in total command of Hohyeon, to leave your position? There’s nothing to worry about. “If we think the situation is not good, we will withdraw immediately.”
“But...”
“It’s okay. “I’ve already decided, so don’t mention it any more.”
Baek Gyu could no longer dissuade Yu Jin San from his resolute stance.
Before he knew it, his eyes were red and he spoke in a voice full of worry.
“Anyway, be careful. “In particular, Moonju of the Black Cat is a very dangerous person.”
The sword of death and soul, Baeksang.
He is a legendary assassin who has never failed a single mission and is considered one of the people to watch out for in the martial arts world.
I even remembered hearing about Mt. Yujin.
“I’m not going to fight, so there’s nothing to worry about. “It’s late today, so let’s go.”
“When are you leaving?”
“There will be no time to hesitate. “We put Seol to sleep first and then leave alone at dawn...”
Yu Jin-san trailed off, saying “oops”. This is because I made eye contact with my granddaughter who was sitting far away.
He was looking at this place with his mouth full of dumplings and his eyes shining.
Baekgyu noticed that and scratched his head.
“I guess I should have moved a little farther.”
“...You couldn’t hear it, right?”
The distance was a whopping thirty miles. Moreover, since he was speaking in a whisper, it is normal for him not to hear.
But Baek-gyu shook his head with confident eyes.
“That can’t be possible. “If I wanted to, I could even hear the dogs barking in the neighborhood next door.”
The granddaughter’s serious face, as if she was determined for something. And looking at the solemn look in his eyes, it seemed clear.
What he was thinking was clearly visible on his face.
Jinsan Yu sighed and placed one hand on his forehead.
‘It won’t be easy to sneak around here.’
