Episode 196: The feeling of climbing a mountain (1)
I have never heard of a root that matches the shape of a human being so much in my life.
Is it really an elixir with mysterious effects? No matter how much I thought about it, I wasn’t sure.
You won’t know until you try it.
Jinsan Yu first brought an unidentified root into his granddaughter’s mouth.
“Now, hurry up and try it.”
Even if it was a poisonous root rather than an elixir, there was no problem.
Because it was a body of Hyeongyeong that was immune to all poisons and imperviousness to all harmful things in the world.
Yuseol opened his mouth like a baby bird waiting for food.
Yu Seol bit off half of the root in one mouth.
A cheerful sound of ‘ododog’ was heard from the mouth.
But even for a moment. Suddenly, the granddaughter’s expression suddenly hardened. He looked serious, like a person in a hurry.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching, quickly asked.
“what’s the matter? “Doesn’t it taste good?”
Yu Seol nodded with a tearful expression.
“...It’s the worst.”
As expected, it didn’t seem to taste that good.
If you spit it out like this, you won’t be able to know the effect of the elixir.
Yu Jin-san urgently comforted his granddaughter’s shoulder and said.
“Originally, the better it is for your body, the worse it is for your mouth. “Just be patient and eat it.”
“...I really can’t eat it.”
“You have to swallow. “If you throw away the first crop, the whole year’s farming will be ruined.”
What can I do when my grandfather talks like this?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Seol closed his eyes tightly.
Jinsan Yu checked that his granddaughter had swallowed it and asked cautiously.
“how is it? “Do you feel better?”
“huh. “A new inner energy is condensing in the Danjeon.”
Jinsan Yu clapped his hands together with a bright face.
As expected, it seemed to have the effect of improving endurance.
“How’s the effect? “How much energy do you have?”
“Grandpa, give it a try.”
I can’t believe you don’t answer me obediently. Was he pouting? But apparently there was no relationship.
You have to try it at least once anyway.
Eugene San pushed half of the root he was holding into his mouth.
After that, I chewed it a few times as if I was eating a carrot.
Suddenly his face turned pale.
“...Huh!?”
The smell was so bad that it made me faint, and I felt nauseous.
It wasn’t just something I wrote. If it weren’t for extreme mental strength and patience, it would have been impossible to even dare.
Because he was a martial artist with a more developed sense of taste than ordinary people, the pain was enormous.
How on earth can I swallow this?
I was about to give up eating.
Yu Seol was watching with his eyes wide open right in front of him.
It was impossible to ignore what he had said.
‘Such a mess....’
How on earth did Yu Seol swallow this? There was no doubt that he had used some trick that he was not aware of.
Tears flowed from both eyes.
I was flooded with regret as to why I wanted to eat it, but there was no way.
Jinsan Yu held his breath and closed his eyes tightly.
gulp-!
I barely succeeded in shoving it down my throat.
However, nausea was rising in my stomach regardless of my will.
“Wow!”
Just when what I swallowed comes back up into my throat along with nausea.
He saw his granddaughter’s right hand disappear before his eyes.
For a moment, I felt a tingling sensation below my throat.
Yuseol must have been pressing his blood vessels to prevent the food from flowing back.
“They say you shouldn’t spit out the first crop you harvest. “I will help you, grandpa.”
There was nothing to do but dry off and sleep.
Before he knew it, Yoo Seol’s hand was placed on his abdomen.
‘...why!?’
There were hundreds of seeds sown in the field, so the amount was sufficient.
The problem is that even if you only eat half the root, you have to go back and forth between life and death. It was to the point where I gave up and released even the most patient Yuseol.
So, will it taste good if it is cooked enough? Probably not.
I had to find a way. Otherwise, it would be impossible to consume it.
‘Shall we boil stew? Or do you boil it and eat it?’
I thought about various methods, but nothing in particular came to mind.
There was no need to rush, so it seemed like it would be a good idea to take some time to think about it.
Eugene San left his seat and stood up.
As I turned the corner of the palace, my granddaughter was waiting for me in the center of the training hall.
Eugene San slowly approached with his back to me.
“OK. “Let’s try it with our bare hands today.”
Only then would he have a slight advantage. Because I wouldn’t be able to last even a moment with my spear skills.
“Grandpa, you can use the spear.”
“no. “Sparring has to be done fairly and honestly.”
The words were sparring, but it was a question of how long one could hold out.
If Yuseol didn’t pay attention, it would have ended as soon as it started, but that didn’t happen. Because you will want to play longer.
The two faced each other, put their hands together, and slowly bowed their heads towards each other. It was a ritual performed before sparring began.
At that time, Jinsan Yu flicked his left wrist.
Click!
The prayer beads he was wearing on his left hand moved to his right.
The power of the left hand that was oppressing it was released.
The length of time that can be maintained in this state is at most half an angle. I couldn’t bear any more than that because my mind was dizzy.
‘It’s a quick decision.’
As soon as the firing ended, Jinsan Yu started attacking first.
His left hand bent like a rake and tried to snatch Yu Seol’s shoulder.
Although it was as fast as a thunderbolt, its grip only split the thin air.
Yoo Seol twisted his shoulders and looked surprised. This was because it was not the speed of the grandfather he knew.
However, Yujinsan’s attack was just beginning.
It was so fast that his left hand seemed to have expanded into dozens.
It was a great attack, but Yuseol’s movements to avoid it all went beyond human limits.
Papapot-! Papa Papapot-!!
The hand stretching across the front spewed out a black air current, staining the air black.
At that moment, Yu Seol’s new form, which had been dodging, suddenly began to stretch out.
Yoo Seol, who had spread the distance between us, asked with a mixture of surprise and excitement.
“Grandpa, what was that just now?”
Since it was my first time seeing martial arts, I couldn’t help but be curious.
However, there was no time to leisurely reply.
Eugene San tried the same steps to catch up with his granddaughter, but he couldn’t keep up with her speed.
“Don’t run away, come here quickly!”
Yuseol’s movements changed as if he had been waiting.
Yuseol, who was increasing the distance, changed Bobeop’s path again and collided with Yujinsan.
Finally, the two who exchanged their first sum of money slid in opposite directions.
Unlike Yujinsan, who was pushed back by as many as three chapters, Yuseol only slipped about one chapter.
It was a clear preponderance of rumors.
But even now, Yu Jin-san’s heart was pounding very hard.
This is because the iron-clad granddaughter took a step back for the first time in her life.
“Oh~ Grandpa, you’re cool!”
It was the grandfather who became stronger, but he himself seemed even more excited.
Finally, he lowered his posture and slowly stretched out both hands forward. He took a destructive approach against himself.
This was the first time this had happened in sparring so far.
“Are you finally ready to be serious? Then, let’s get scolded by Hjaebi today!”
Yu Jin-san, filled with confidence, rushed forward with all his might.
Soon his left hand and his granddaughter’s right hand interlocked in the middle.
A series of loud roars that shook the heavens and the earth began to erupt.
Kwaang-! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
The two hands, interlocked frantically, did not move an inch from each other.
The problem is that I have only used one hand to speak. I guess they are watching it to some extent.
Still, it was an encouraging achievement.
Even though he only had one hand, he was able to follow Hyeon-gyeong’s movements to the pinnacle of perfection. It was a situation that was nothing short of a miracle.
Jinsan Yu, who wanted to test his limits, shouted confidently.
“Stop playing around and do your best!”
