Episode 61: Experience is the power to survive (2)
Baek-gyu and Yu Jin-san were staring somewhere with their backs side by side.
At some point, Baekgyu broke the silence and spoke first.
“Brother, when did you teach Seol the double spear technique?”
“I never taught you. “You can’t do it like that.”
The two were currently watching Yu Seol’s training scene from afar.
“So you’re saying you learned it yourself?”
Jinsan Yu nodded with a proud expression.
Even disciples of prestigious sects actually focus on training for no more than two sessions a day. This is because practicing martial arts requires a great deal of physical and mental strength.
However, Yuseol was spending most of the day at the training center even though no one told him to. This may be due to his natural muscles and qualities, as well as his unique personality that likes training itself.
The sight of a child flying while holding two wooden sticks was like watching Jo Ja-ryong running across the floor.
“The most difficult technique among spear techniques is double spear technique. There was only one person in our family who could do that. “My ancestor was called Changgui.”
Handling two spears at the same time requires strong stamina and a high level of concentration, and was impossible without being well-versed in spearmanship.
A strong wind continued to blow through the area where the two bamboo poles passed.
Extreme killing ability and lightning-quick movement. Baekgyu couldn’t keep his mouth shut as Yooseol’s martial arts skills seemed to be like he was performing a stunt.
“There has never been a child with that level of talent in the martial arts company. “If we continue to grow like this, an unprecedented martial god will be born.”
“It’s definitely cancer. “Who could have reached Hwagyeong at that age?”
Baekgyu chuckled and waved his index finger left and right.
“Seol is stronger than you think.”
“hmm. “Tell me more about what you mean.”
“When my brother was in the hospital, I often sparred with Seol. Well, it was a one-sided situation, but when we split the sum, we realized something. “Anyway, from that time on, Seol had already passed the beginning of the world of peace.”
Even in the same flower world, there are heights and lows. Yu Seol’s rapidly growing martial arts level was now beyond what Baek Gyu and Yu Jin San could judge.
“Ever since he was a baby, his acquisition and application skills have been extraordinary. Can you believe that I learned the Qiun Buddhism when I was only two years old? “He is truly a child born for martial arts.”
“I agree with that. “If it’s at the current level, even in Sapa...”
Baekgyu trailed off. This is because it could not be concluded that Jinsan Yu and his granddaughter were Sapa.
There was a moment of quiet silence.
The two seemed to be possessed by something and were only concentrating on Yooseol’s movements.
At one point, Jin-san Yu put on a sound-blocking membrane and spoke.
“There are now two days left. It’s going to be a cruel day. “I don’t think it would be difficult for a child to handle.”
Baek-gyu understood Jin-san Yu’s words right away.
The fateful day where everyone’s fate depended was just around the corner.
It was not a battle where the enemy could be moderately overpowered and overcome like before. A life-threatening war. It was impossible to send a child to war in such a cruel scene.
“Seol is like family to me. I didn’t put it into power in the first place, so don’t worry about it. “That’s not what I want either.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“Don’t worry about that. My younger brother doesn’t know what to do with himself just because you negotiated with the Black Cat. Now that the volcanic waves that were a thorn in my eyes have disappeared, it’s worth a try.”
Yu Jin-san smiled silently and nodded.
“I saw that the elders of the Sahyeolmun and Macheonhoe had visited in the morning. Are all defense preparations complete?”
“There are three roads leading to Hohyeon. “We decided to block the road leading to Jongnam Mountain with Paedomun, and with Sahyeolmun and Macheonhoe block the other two directions.”
“hmm. Since we are relatively outnumbered, it may be advantageous to block the narrow passage and hold out. But if any one of the three breaks through, the whole thing will collapse.”
Baek Gyu also did not deny it. Even if it wasn’t, it was the thing I was most worried about.
“If one place completely collapses, I plan to gather at Paedomun and fight.”
“Where can I help?”
“Since there is no volcano faction, there is no need for you to come forward. “It’s really okay, so please stay away with Seol.”
“What does that mean all of a sudden?”
“If something goes wrong, brother...”
Yu Jin-san chuckled and interrupted Baek-gyu.
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of making Seol an orphan either. If necessary, I will run away and avenge Paedomun later.”
“haha! As expected from my brother. Then, please remain at Paedomun with reserve forces and provide support if there is an emergency.”
Jinsan Yu nodded willingly.
“That’s right.”
The two remained silent again and watched Yu Seol’s training scene.
Movement as quick as a flying squirrel. And just looking at the sight of the window being thrown out so coolly made me feel like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.
That was when I was watching in fascination for a while.
“Lord Moon!”
A bald warrior with a bulky build was running from behind, panting.
Baekgyu, who had no idea, asked with a puzzled expression.
Finally, he handed him two silver coins and said,
“You said your name was Hongki, right? “If your child wants something, take care of it without sparing it.”
“Oh my, why are you giving me this much money?”
Yu Jin-san forced his hand into his and pushed his back.
“This is not the time to hesitate, so let’s get going.”
“Yes, old man.”
Jin-san Yu stared at the back of Hong-gi and his granddaughter as they walked away.
When I saw the child glancing back, my heart was touched for some reason.
‘It’ll be fine. ‘Don’t worry about Grandpa, have a nice trip.’
Yu Jin-san, left alone, sat cross-legged.
The profound internal energy starting from the Danjeon began to circulate through the blood vessels of the entire body.
I wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway. I planned to spend the day having a lucky breakfast.
Above all, I needed to get my body in top condition in preparation for what was to come.
He didn’t forget to check his plan while eating breakfast.
‘If things continue like this, Hohyeon’s defense will be fine.’
Although it was not certain, it was calculated that the revealed power would be sufficient to prevent it.
The problem was not Hohyeon, but Sapa factions in other regions.
There was no prediction as to how many of them would be able to survive the annihilation operation led by the Murim Alliance. Depending on that, Moorim’s landscape will change.
‘No matter what the result is, the future will be an era dominated by the Murim Alliance. And... what happens next?’
There was no way this was what the Murim League ultimately wanted.
The law by which strong powers can exist lies in balance, not complete peace. There was no way the Murimmaeng didn’t know that.
The reason for trying to quickly eliminate the hostile forces, even if it is somewhat unreasonable. No matter how much I thought about it, it was difficult to guess their intentions.
‘Perhaps they have gained another strong enemy? To the extent that other existing hostile forces need to be sorted out in advance?’
I couldn’t be sure of anything.
I was curious what their purpose was, but for now I had no choice but to wait and see what happened.
Jinsan Yu gradually forgot the passage of time and fell into a trance.
Repeat this cycle dozens of times. I couldn’t tell how much time had passed.
Kkokkio-!
Judging by the sound of the early morning rooster crowing, it seemed like the day had already passed.
Still, he didn’t stop his luck.
The chill began to seep into the warmer body temperature again. Night must have come again.
And then, when the warmth of morning comes again. Someone came to my residence.
Yu Jin-san, who hastily finished the fortune-telling breakfast, stood up with a puzzled expression.
“Why did you come back?”
It was Hongki of Paedomun who left with his granddaughter.
He was restless and kept looking left and right.
“Oh, old man! “Have you not seen Seol?”
Jinsan Yu asked back with a puzzled expression.
“...Why are you asking me that?”
Hongki knelt down and put his head on the floor.
“I committed a mortal sin. “While I was distracted at the garden, stop...”
I didn’t have to listen to the next story to understand it.
Yahwawon was one of the tourist attractions in Shaanxi that was crowded with people. The child must have been lost there.
But there were also parts that were unclear.
“There was no way our Seol would have missed your presence, right? “Just calm down and talk in detail.”
After listening to his story, Jinsan Yu sighed as if he was astonished.
Yoo Seol said he was going to go buy a gift for his grandfather, and in the meantime, Hongki went to the nearby Tujeon Pan. And the promised time and place were different.
Hongki, whose guilt reached its peak, buried his head on the floor and shed tears.
Part of me wanted to yell, but what’s the use if everything has already been spilled?
After catching his breath for a moment, Jin-san Yu patted his shoulder and said.
“Everyone makes mistakes. Don’t worry, just raise your head. “I’ll be back soon.”
“But...”
“Our Seol can run anywhere in Shaanxi within two hours. Coming back is not the problem now...”
Yu Jin-san could not finish his sentence.
This is because another guest came to the residence.
“Elder, it has begun! The political factions have invaded!”
