Episode 84: The martial arts we will practice from now on is (2)
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
The screams of the monks echoed from all directions. This was because young monks holding bamboo poles were beating indiscriminately.
Wow! puck-! Tsk-!
From the podium, the old monk’s angry, angry noises continued to emanate.
“Can’t you just shut that mouth! “How can one walk the path of Buddhism with a spirit that cannot endure this level of asceticism?”
Cheolposam’s basic training method is to hold on and get beaten.
If you are hit repeatedly like that, your skin will become stronger and your bones will become stronger.
But how can that be a martial art that can be completed in one or two days?
Eugene San was well aware of Master Hyeun’s intentions. It is an attempt to correct the discipline of the disciples who have become lax under the pretext of practicing Cheolposam.
“Ugh!”
“Tsk!”
The screams that keep coming out.
The area behind Mount Eugene was no exception.
A monk holding a bamboo pole was already approaching.
– Baby, just stay right behind grandpa.
Any attack cannot pierce Hwagyeong’s self-defense strength.
As long as he doesn’t unleash his sword energy, Yu Seol won’t get hurt in the slightest.
However, Yu Jin-san was not there to watch his granddaughter being beaten in front of his eyes without being able to resist.
Yu Jin-san, who spread his arms out in front of the child, transformed into a strong shield.
Soon after, the first bamboo stick that flew hit his front chest.
Tsk-!
It was an attack that did not pay off.
It didn’t hurt at all, but how could I show it?
“Ahh!”
Despite the screams, the two legs stand firm.
The monk who hit him increased the intensity even more with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Wow! puck-! Puff!
No matter how hard I hit him, there was no way Yujinsan would budge.
‘I guess I’ll have to take a moderate hit and then fall.’
There was no reason to hold on until the end as the monks around him were also falling one by one.
Until now.
“You guys! “How dare you look at my situation in front of someone just because I’m your disciple!?”
It was a shout from Ambassador Hyeun, who was watching from the podium.
Each of the people holding the bamboo pole was the master of the fellow monks. Is that why? Everyone had the situation in their hands.
But now the story is different.
“From now on, you must defeat all of the disciples for a count of ten. If you fail, you will also have to undergo the face-to-face training along with the disciples who could not endure.”
His words had a lot of meaning.
The story was that all monks who fell were dragged into the cave and trained against the wall.
Master Bodhidharma survived for nine years, but it is not an easy task even for a single day.
Did the masters also dislike face-wall practice? Suddenly their eyes changed.
The bamboo pole, bent like a bow, hit Yujinsan’s leg without mercy.
Wow-!!
The intensity of the shock was different from before.
However, there was no reason for the supreme master to fall to this level of attack.
He blocked his granddaughter’s path and looked around even while being beaten.
‘This won’t be easy.’
In an instant, more than half of the children fell to the floor.
And the speed rapidly accelerated.
“Ahh!”
“Ahh!”
The young monks fell down randomly, screaming.
After some time passed, there were only a few people left.
Before he knew it, two more monks had gathered around him.
He tenaciously countered and blocked all attacks coming at his granddaughter. Even as he stretched out his arms and legs toward the approaching bamboo pole.
“What is this guy?”
“Why aren’t you falling down?”
They were very embarrassed as they continued to hit Yujinsan’s legs.
There is not much time left.
“It is natural to return something you received. Now we have to help you with your Cheolposam training.”
“...What are you talking about?”
Yu Jin-san took a step back and signaled his granddaughter with a glance. Because he was so old, he couldn’t possibly hit a child.
Even so, he was a child who was not in a very good mood.
“Because of you, my grandpa got beaten up a lot.”
“...?”
The slender ankle, like a tree branch, drew a curve and kicked the younger brother’s ankle.
Byak-!
“Kak!”
It seemed like a gentle hit, but the monk stumbled and fell.
Next, Yu Jin-san, who was waiting, used a blood sword and knocked him out.
Although it was easily suppressed, leaving it like this was also problematic.
“There’s no place nearby to hide, so I’ll have to take her first.”
“Shall I carry you?”
Yu Jin-san shook his head and lifted his brother on his shoulder.
“no. “Grandpa will carry you, so let’s go.”
I had to move a little deeper when there were no people around.
As I moved along the forest path, I was able to see the entrance to Thaprim.
Contrary to expectations, there were no people guarding this place.
No, it seemed like there was no need to do that in the first place. Because the stupas had already been devastated.
‘What on earth is going on?’
The towers that were destroyed and shattered could be said to be in better condition. The worst part was that it was torn apart as if it had been dug up by a mole.
It was now wrapped with rope so that it could not be approached.
‘Could it be that this is also the work of an apostate monk? No matter how crazy the graves of the great monks are... you’re still crazy.’
In any case, access to Chamhoe-dong became easier.
As I passed the tower and went a little further, I saw a cave in the distance.
Since they couldn’t just approach the place blindly, Eugene San and his granddaughter hid from a distance and explored the place.
The entrance seemed open, but in reality it was not.
Jinsan Yu whispered in a low voice.
“There are twelve Arhats hiding around the cave.”
A monk who has achieved enlightenment receives the title of Arhat, and all of them have great martial arts skills as they have learned ascending martial arts.
Among them, those who guard Chahmhoe-dong are known to be Arhats with the highest level of skill.
At that time, Yu Seol, who had been listening indifferently, shook her head.
“There are eighteen people.”
My granddaughter pointed out each location with her finger.
Yu Jin-san’s expression darkened slightly as he looked at their location.
“This won’t be easy. The direction of the Eighteen Arhats....”
The eighteen Arhats. It is a battle method performed by eighteen arhats and is renowned even in martial arts.
Moreover, even at first glance, it seemed like each and every one of them had peak martial skills.
There was nothing that could not be suppressed with the help of Yu Seol, but it would take a considerable amount of time to destroy the Jinbeop.
Then, it was clear that if the temple even rang an alarm, the worst would happen.
“oh my god?”
“We can’t let those guys take action. “I need to catch them off guard and take them down in one fell swoop.”
After organizing his thoughts, Jinsan Yu explained the strategy to his granddaughter.
After getting ready after a while, he carried the unconscious guy on his back and shouted as he led the way to the confessional building.
“help!”
As the young monks like Tottori approached, the Arhats who were hiding here and there approached in confusion.
“what?”
“Why did you guys come here?”
Jin-san Yu naturally laid down his brother on his back and shouted.
“He’s suddenly not breathing!”
According to Buddhist teachings that life must be cherished, scolding was the next issue.
Several Arhats came over to take a look and were puzzled.
“what’s the matter?”
“Are you breathing well?”
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who was holding the monk from behind, secretly pressed the acupuncture points on his back, and he suddenly started convulsing.
“Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
“Move over, I’ll take a look.”
Arhats are approaching one by one, caught off guard.
And Yuseol was staring behind them. It looked like a wild beast crouching down to attack a flock of sheep.
