Episode 142 It’s a secret from Seol (2)
Late at night with dark shadows.
Yujinsan was heading to the mountain behind Paedomun Gate alone. His face was full of worry.
“Where on earth has he gone?”
He left without saying a word and didn’t come back until it got dark.
There were many instances in the past where people went around saying they were practicing, but this was the first time something like this had happened.
No matter how much his granddaughter possessed unrivaled martial skills, the grandfather was worried.
He looked left and right and sighed. No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the snout.
Well, what trace would a child running through the air using the wind as a stepping stone leave behind?
I was just about to shout my granddaughter’s name at the top of my voice.
Suddenly, a ray of breeze passed by from somewhere.
Whiiing-!
It was clearly an artificial wind that did not match the calm weather.
Jinsan Yu felt it right away. It was a signal from my granddaughter.
Did something happen to the child? Eugene Mountain ran with all his might toward the direction from which the wind blew.
Ta-ta-tat-!
It was closer than I thought.
A small basin near the summit.
It was clear that the girl sitting cross-legged there was a rumor.
‘You mean you were practicing meditation in nature? ‘It was like that.’
So you don’t even notice how time passes.
I had also heard of Eugene San somewhere. For a world-class expert who has reached the level of a half-god, training through meditation is more important than physical training.
In this process, one gains enlightenment and moves one step at a time toward the summit.
When I looked at my granddaughter with her eyes closed, it seemed like she was already in a trance.
In that case, it was impossible to disturb meditation. If I were not careful, the training could have been in vain.
Yu Jin-san tried to keep the presence as low as possible and slowly turned around. Next, I stood on tiptoe so as not to hear even the slightest noise.
That was when I moved a few steps.
‘Why are there fallen leaves when there is no wind at all?’
A large fallen leaf was coming straight towards me.
Even small noises can be disturbing during meditation.
Jinsan Yu twisted his upper body and let the fallen leaves fall.
Just when I thought I had avoided it, a look of absurdity suddenly appeared in his eyes.
‘Huh?’
Aren’t the fallen leaves turning and coming back?
It was completely incomprehensible, but there was no need to think deeply. All you have to do is avoid it. Jinsan Yu suddenly laid down his upper body.
But the rustling leaves stuck to his face as if they had found their destination.
‘What is this?’
It was truly a strange thing.
Jinsan Yu stretched out his hand to grab the fallen leaves from his face.
Tup-!
The only thing that can be touched is smooth skin. In the meantime, it took off on its own.
‘Why are all the fallen leaves so annoying...’ Even
though he is a martial arts expert by name, he is embarrassed to miss the fallen leaves. It was a situation that would have been a laughing stock if anyone had seen it.
One good thing was that no one saw it.
Jinsan Yu tried to walk quietly again. But before I could take a step, something came again and blocked my view.
Are you saying that the fallen leaves are possessed by ghosts? It was a phenomenon that I could not understand.
He narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand, fully prepared to snatch it. It was as fast as lightning.
Whi-profit-!
Unbelievably, I missed it again. As if that wasn’t enough, it slipped through his fingers and stuck to his face.
It was something that could not have happened.
Yu Jin-san glanced at his granddaughter, wondering if she might.
And I could sense something was strange.
‘Could it be him?’
Upon closer inspection, it was clear. The granddaughter’s face gritting her teeth and suppressing laughter.
There was no way Eugene San could not have noticed that.
As I was falling behind with each passing day, I couldn’t help but feel impatient.
Except for the heyday about fifty years ago, my heart has never been so on fire.
His steps went straight to one of Paedomun’s training grounds.
* * *
One month has already passed.
So far, no additional information has been received about Changryongdae, and there have been no incidents of note.
The granddaughter is also confined to the mountain behind her. All we did was come down once every few days and eat together.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Jin-san devoted himself solely to martial arts training.
There are only two martial arts that were learned from the apostate monk.
Although they were not intended for killing, they were the best martial arts techniques that could dramatically increase survivability.
During the day, I practiced the Great Nai Shin Technique and from evening to morning, I practiced the Diamond Buddha God Technique.
‘Watch, Seol-ah. Grandfather always does it.’
Yu Jin-san, sitting cross-legged, was practicing Qigong using the breathing method of Diamond Buddha God Gong.
A profound internal energy that circulates through the blood path without hesitation according to the martial arts technique.
The changes in the body that occurred as the training continued were very surprising.
The skin and muscles seemed to be encased in iron armor, and the internal organs began to be protected by layers of energy.
It was an amazing achievement, but there was still a long way to go.
‘It should be at least Chilseong (七成) to be effective in actual combat. You can do it, Jinsan!’
However, not everything in this world can be accomplished just by will.
Contrary to my feelings, there was no progress in training for the tenth day.
It is natural that the higher the level of martial arts, the slower the performance.
However, Jinsan Yu was anxious.
If I were to compare the difference in martial arts skills between my granddaughter and my granddaughter to body parts, it was the top of her head and the top of her feet.
You have to go up to at least the peach bone to save face.
It was a time when Yu Jin-san was gathering his mind once again during a boring time.
“Is there an elderly person?”
Judging by the voice, it was Hong Gyun, one of the executives of Paedo Moon.
It suddenly comes to you just when it seems like something is going to happen. There was no way I would be happy about it.
Yu Jin-san stopped practicing and asked outside the door.
“why? “Who did Ddaeng-joong harass again?”
“That’s not it...”
“I told you not to come visit me during training unless it’s urgent.”
“Because a guest came to visit.”
Jinsan Yu tilted his head.
Who could possibly come to visit him? Even staying here is a situation where you will be banned from entering the country. No matter how much I thought about it, no one came to mind.
He must be the owner of the faint energy felt next to Honggyun.
Since I came this far, I had no choice but to check it out for myself.
Yu Jin-san got up from his seat and opened the door to his living quarters.
“What are you doing to me...”
Yu Jin-san trailed off after checking the other person’s face.
A woman with an old-fashioned appearance and full of elegance.
The woman in charge of the southern branch of Heukyabang had the name Eunhwarin.
We’ve met him twice so far, and from what I remember, he was a very resourceful person.
But for what reason did she, who was in Hanam, come to visit her? No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason I could guess.
“It’s been a while, Yanggoi Daehyeop.”
Jinsan Yu smiled and walked towards her. Then he raised his head to make eye contact and responded.
“What is Daehyeop? To the person who was branded as a madu by the Murim Alliance. “Are you okay Ark?”
Even so, I was curious about Pungho’s well-being.
Sapa’s number one intelligence organization, Heukyabang. Even now, I have received a lot of help from Pungho, the owner of the place.
I couldn’t help but be thankful for his heart that cherished the relationship that started at Yangju Mountain.
“The Ark must be having a busy day these days. “The baby was born a few months ago.”
The last time he saw Pung-ho’s wife, Hyeon-hee, she was with child. It seemed like she had given birth in the meantime.
“Heh heh. This is good news after a long time. “By the way, you are so busy, what brought you to Shaomseo?”
“I have come on your behalf to keep the promise our ark made to you a long time ago.”
“A promise?”
