Episode 243: The Queen of Baduk (1)
Yujinsan was playing baduk with his granddaughter at his residence in Cheongeomsanjang.
He put down the game of baduk and continued his conversation.
“so? “You just came back alone?”
“huh. “I think you guys have a lot to talk about.”
Although the living and the dead were together, it was the last time the brothers were together.
It was actually a good thing that he stayed away.
In any case, this incident may have been sad for the granddaughter, but it may have served as an opportunity for her to grow further.
“It seems like our Seol has become quite savvy as well. “Then what about the apprentice?”
“I don’t know either. “The guys said they would take care of it.”
There was no way Cheon Woo-hwan could have saved him.
It is the law of nature that you reap what you sow.
Jinsan Yu also decided not to pay any more attention to him.
“But where is the baduk player?”
Yu Seol, who had been holding the game of baduk, had been unable to put it down for a long time.
Because I didn’t have much experience yet, I couldn’t be my grandfather’s rival.
The situation was almost settled, and the white stone of Yuseol was on the verge of being encroached upon by the house made of black stone.
“Grandpa is too much. “They trapped me in a cruel way.”
Jinsan Yu grinned and picked up two black stones.
He tolerated the two moves.
“Are you saying this is shameful? Baduk is like life. “You should be patient and wait, but didn’t you attack too hastily?”
“Grandpa cowardly lured me in first.”
“It’s not cowardice, it’s just that you set a trap. In cases like this, we need to wait defensively until a loophole appears and then launch a counterattack.”
“Look where you put it.”
widely-!
Yoo Seol put down the white stone and looked at his grandfather with a solemn expression.
Yu Jin-san recalled something and said at that sight.
“In the past, your father used to challenge me often. “The expression on your face back then was similar to yours now.”
“Go? good job?”
Jin-san Yu put down the game of baduk and smiled happily.
widely-!
“I’ve never been able to beat Grandpa. Even if you start by giving up two moves.”
“As expected, my grandfather is the king of baduk.”
As his granddaughter praised him for the first time in a while, Jinsan Yu’s shoulders gained strength.
“Yes, you know very well. “There was no one in the neighborhood who could beat Haejaebi at baduk.”
However, Yoo Seol’s fighting spirit burned even more.
“Then I will become the queen of baduk.”
widely-!
The location of the white stone laid down by Yoo Seol was quite exquisite.
It seemed like they were trying to destroy the Black Stone camp from the side, like Lü Bu penetrating the enemy lines.
Jinsan Yu, who was examining the checkerboard, clapped his hands together in admiration.
“The current position is pretty good. “Now you know how to look two moves ahead.”
“Hi-Hi.”
Yuseol, who felt good about her grandfather’s praise, smiled brightly.
“But it’s still too early to laugh. A good strategist must look three moves ahead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yoo Seol’s expression hardened.
They realized that the operation had been overlooked.
However, it was not Mount Yujin who could take care of it.
His attacks were always at their best and he never hesitated.
Then, when the black stone is placed on the checkerboard.
Suddenly he opened his mouth in embarrassment.
“Huh?”
This is because his hands suddenly trembled.
Then, for a moment, I lost control.
widely-!
In the end, his baduk stone ended up in the wrong place.
While he was looking blank. Yu Seol grabbed the white stone with a bright expression.
“Fuhihi. “Now it’s my turn.”
The granddaughter waved a baduk stone gently in front of her eyes.
After dancing his shoulders for a while, he quickly put it down on the checkerboard.
widely-!
Coincidentally, this move turned the tide.
Yu Jin-san, who was on the defensive, was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
“...?”
Looking at his expression, it was clear that he had done something.
Perhaps it was because he released his energy momentarily and it affected his hands.
It was a moment of silence.
It wasn’t a situation to laugh, but Eun Hwa-rin laughed quietly as if she couldn’t help it.
“Yes, you know very well. “It looks like they are forming an assassination team with a small number of elites, so be careful.”
It wasn’t anything strange.
Since she ruined everything she had been working on, her anger was bound to rise.
But it was still too early to explode.
You probably haven’t heard the news that Amifa was robbed yet.
“I would be embarrassed if I found out what happened at the temple. “It’s a shame I didn’t get to see that.”
“What happened? “I heard that the Buddha statue is for sale, but maybe it’s at Amipa...”
Yu Jin-san placed the bundle he had brought with him on the table.
“As expected, you have great insight. “First, we brought a few items to compensate for the damage we received.”
One of them was the Buddha statue in front of me.
When Eunhwarin unpacked the bundle, she spoke with admiration.
“This is my first time seeing a Buddha statue with such brilliant light. “It was a good thing we brought in an expert.”
It was a neatly dressed middle-aged man sitting next to Eunhwarin.
He introduced himself with a bow.
“Please take care of me, old man. “Soin is a scholar known as a scholar of 100 Buddhas, so please speak at ease.”
Yu Jin-san nodded with a happy smile at his polite appearance.
“Nice to meet you. In your opinion, how much is this worth?”
A Baekbul scholar began appraising Buddha statues in earnest.
I looked at the knocks, checked the patterns, and applied the chemicals I had brought separately. After looking at it like that for a while.
He said with a serious expression.
“I can’t believe it. How can this...”
“Hmm. “Please tell me in detail.”
“It is a precious item called a fundamental Buddha statue. From my insight, it appears to be a Prajna Buddha statue.”
“Prajna Buddha statue?”
“yes. “It is one of the first ancient Buddha statues.”
Yujin Mountain does not have a separate religion. It was just about the values he was curious about.
“okay. So how much can you get?”
Baekbulseosaeng hesitated for a moment with a perplexed expression and then spoke.
“It is a precious item whose value cannot be measured. Because what you call will soon become worth it.”
“hmm. “How should I dispose of this...”
Yu Jin-san was thinking with his arms crossed.
Eunhwarin, who was watching, asked cautiously.
“How about handing it over to Xizhang, which has a long history of Buddhism? The Buddha statue will be put to more valuable use rather than being kept by corrupt nuns.”
Xizang (西藏) is one of the countries in the Western Region and is different from Tianchu.
If they are known to have deep Buddhist beliefs, they will definitely pay the right price.
“It’s a good idea, but we can’t get there.”
“Do not worry. “Because we at Heukyabang have a connection to that place.”
There was no reason to refuse if the dark night room recognized me.
Yujinsan pushed the Buddha statue in front of Eunhwarin as if there was nothing to think about.
“Then please do me a favor. “In return for your hard work, I will give you half of the selling costs.”
Eunhwarin asked with a puzzled expression.
“Are you so willing to entrust us with this precious item?”
They were people who had experienced many hardships and hardships together. What is there to worry about?
“If you have other feelings in the dark night room and covet it, just keep it. “I won’t argue with you.”
Is it because I felt the warm sincerity in Jin-san Yu’s tone of voice? A faint smile appeared on Eunhwarin’s face.
“Please just leave it to me. “No matter how precious this Buddha statue is, would it be as precious as the relationship with the yin-yang pair?”
“Well, thank you if you think so. Oh, and just wait a moment.”
Yu Jin-san suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, as if he remembered something.
“Seol-ah!!”
Surprisingly, the response came quickly.
Not long after, the entrance to the palace slowly opened.
Yoo Seol suddenly appeared, sticking his head out through the crack in the door and asking.
“huh? “Did you call me?”
“okay. Give me what you’re wearing around your neck. “Since the expert is here, let’s ask him something.”
Since he is a scholar with high knowledge, he might be able to get some clues.
I was equally curious about the rumors.
It was a crude-looking necklace with only a single prayer bead hanging from it.
However, it was an item safely stored in the deepest part of Amipah.
“Here you go.”
Baekbulseosaeng, who was handed the necklace, looked at it carefully.
Then he placed it close in front of his eyes and started mumbling something unintelligible.
It seemed like he was deciphering the ancient letters embedded in the beads of prayer beads.
After a while, he muttered with a surprised expression on his face.
“It seems like there is something amazing inside this prayer beads. According to my interpretation...”
Yu Jin-san urged him with a curious expression.
“So what is that? Come on and tell me.”
