Episode 244: The Queen of Baduk (2)
Baekbulseosaeng, who was looking at the ancient characters on the beads, tilted his head and said.
“After combining the letters, it is said that the faction splitting investigation is in here. And this will save Amipa, which has fallen into the abyss...”
Gaepajosa refers to the founder of Amipa.
She’s in the prayer beads? What kind of riddle is this? Plus, a strange prophecy.
Eugene San and his granddaughter, who had high expectations, could not help but be disappointed.
But there must be some reason why it was written that way.
While I was wondering what it could be, Eunhwarin, who had been quietly watching, opened her mouth.
“I’ve seen it in the materials. Amipa’s preceptor was a nun named Kwak Yang.”
“hmm. “I think I’ve heard that name somewhere.”
“yes. “According to the data, he was such a great expert in internal medicine that he created the world-beating method of internal engineering.”
“okay. But how did she get into the rosary beads?”
Eunhwarin thought for a moment and then asked Baekbulseosaeng.
“Is it correct to say that it is inside?”
“Yes, I am sure about that.”
“Then it doesn’t simply mean the body. It could be anything that contains Kwak Yang’s spirit. “What could there be?”
Everyone was silent and lost in thought.
In an instant, the hall became quiet.
Something small enough to fit into a prayer beads. There was no way to easily guess it.
At that time, Yoo Seol, who was watching silently, gave a clue.
“It’s a bead. “There’s a round bead inside.”
It seemed like he used energy to feel the shape inside. It was a technique that Yujinsan could not even imitate.
At that moment, Jinsan Yu clapped his hands with a bright face.
“...Beads? Then perhaps?”
Eunhwarin urged him as if she was curious.
“Do you have any guesses?”
“I heard that monks who practice deeply can create beads within their bodies. “It’s an extremely small probability, but isn’t there a possibility?”
“Are you talking about profit? “If it’s Kwak Yang’s investigation, there’s a good chance, sir.”
If it were a sari, the size would have been reasonable and it seemed to be related to the interpreted content.
Baekbulseosaeng, who was watching, added an explanation.
“There are different types of sarees. Some of them may have special powers. “You can tell by looking at the color.”
“hmm. “You can check the color by cutting a hole.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to find a professional to do the dismantling? “If it gets damaged...”
The problem was that the contents were stuck tightly inside the beads.
Therefore, it was a task that required expertise. If you apply the wrong force, it could be broken.
However, what is the problem when there is a world-class expert who is more precise and delicate than anyone else?
Jinsan Yu pulled out a strand of his hair.
Then he handed it to his granddaughter along with the necklace.
“Would you like to try it?”
Even so, Yooseol was very curious about the contents.
I took it without even thinking about it.
Soon, the hair containing the true nature of the story stood up stiffly like a needle.
“Do you trust me?”
“then! of course.”
“I heard you didn’t trust me when I was playing baduk earlier.”
Yu Jin-san, feeling sick, smiled awkwardly once.
“You know well, right? “It was just a joke.”
Yu Seol nodded once and started making holes in the prayer beads with her hair.
Everyone watched with sweaty hands.
It looked like a rough stab, but in reality it was a precise movement without the slightest error.
It was a while like that.
“Wow!”
Suddenly, an exclamation came out from Yoo Seol’s mouth.
The others who were watching also looked very surprised. This is because bright light emanated from a small gap in the beads.
It looked like a night pearl shining in the dark.
“So you accepted?”
“I had no choice but to accept it. “Because our interests align with our goals.”
If you subdue the faction’s masters, it will be easier to defeat the Murim lord.
It was something with absolutely nothing to lose.
And there was another reason.
This is because, as the head of the family, it was a thrilling experience to have one’s bloodline become the supreme realm of the martial arts.
“So, after defeating the Jongnam faction, they came down to Sacheon and made a circuit to Tangmun and Amipa.”
“That’s right. “It’s good that you understand so quickly.”
“So where next?”
“That’s exactly what I want to ask. “The small children are not interested. Could you please investigate the Absolutes in various places?”
The destination had not yet been decided.
Therefore, after referring to the information from the Dark Night and deciding on a target, I planned to suppress them as quickly as possible.
“It won’t be difficult. “The Sacheon branch will also have some data, so we will compile it first.”
“Thank you. “I always feel indebted to you.”
“Have you forgotten? Because of the two of you, the current Black Yabang exists.”
Considering their previous relationship, it was a natural reaction.
Jin-san Yu smiled awkwardly and said.
“How long will it take?”
“First of all, we will deliver the information we have by tomorrow.”
His estimate was that it would take at least five days. But can you deliver it in one day?
Her resourcefulness was amazing, but Black Yabang’s power also seemed not to be the same as before.
“Then how about we meet at the guesthouse tomorrow evening?”
“Good. “There’s a good place nearby.”
* * *
After meeting with Eunhwarin, Joson was returning to his residence.
“I miss you, Hyeonhee... and Yeop, too.”
When you think of Heukyabang, Yoo Seol is the first person that comes to mind.
Hyeonhee was Arkju’s wife and Pungyeop was her newborn baby.
“Hyunhee is probably still recuperating somewhere. I’ll see you later when I go to Hanam. “I wonder if Dong-gu is still alive.”
The corners of Yu Seol’s mouth twitched as if she felt good just thinking about it.
“Hi-Hi. Are you going to see Dong-gu too?”
“okay. Instead, give it to me for a moment.”
“What?”
Jinsan Yu gently pointed to the area around his granddaughter’s neck.
“That’s it.”
“My necklace?”
“OK. Please give it to me quickly.”
At that moment, Yu Seol’s smiling face suddenly hardened.
“...why? “Do you want to eat it?”
As it is a necklace that emits a bright light, it was clear that it was an accessory that girls would like.
But this was an item of greater value than that.
“OK. Did you hear what I said earlier? “It won’t have much effect on you, so hand it over quickly.”
The exact effect was unknown, but it was certain that it would become stronger.
The only problem is that the granddaughter is hesitant, looking as if she has lost everything in the world.
“Hmph. No, my treasure...”
“Whose treasure?” “I found it. Why is it yours?”
I held out one palm to ask him to hurry, but the point was unwavering.
“I can’t just give it to you. “If you beat me, I’ll give it to you.”
“Surely we want to fight with Haejaebi?”
“no. With Baduk....”
There was no way that could be fair and square. He’s definitely going to do something again.
Jinsan Yu grinned and flatly refused.
“Did Haldaebi seem like a wealthy person? “I don’t play baduk.”
When the plan went awry, Yoo Seol thought for a moment and hesitated to answer.
Then, he cut the necklace deeper and cut it.
“If you don’t like it, I can’t give it to you.”
