Episode 245: I’ve Tried Everything (1)
Even the next day, the survivors of the deadly murder did not return. This may be because there is work to be completed, such as the funeral of my brothers.
The head of Heavenly Sword Lodge was also absent due to related matters.
Therefore, there was no need for the grandchildren to go out of their residence.
‘How on earth do I get that back?’
Right now, Jinsan Yu was sitting with his chin resting on the table, thinking.
It was because of the Buddhist relics containing the spirit of Kwak Yang, the founder of the Ami faction.
It was a coveted item, but the problem was that it was sealed around my granddaughter’s neck.
Even though I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday, I couldn’t find a way.
Eventually, his eyes slowly turned to his granddaughter.
Is it because there was nothing special to do? He was lying down and taking a nap.
He seemed to be in a deep sleep as he was breathing heavily.
‘There is a possibility now. It’s for a great cause, so understand the cost.’
You won’t be able to take off the necklace. All I had to do was secretly cut off the prayer beads.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly approached Yuseol like a stray cat.
And holding his breath, he very slowly stretched out his hand.
It was a more tense moment than ever.
Just as I was about to grab the prayer beads.
Tup-!
Yu Jin-san was startled and his shoulders trembled.
This is because the granddaughter’s hand grabbed his wrist.
“omg!”
Yu Seol closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice.
“Grandpa, what are you doing?”
Yu Jin-san was embarrassed and stuttered.
“Why are you doing that? “I was going to cover you with a blanket.”
Yu Seol gently let go of her wrist.
Then he cleared his throat and lifted the blanket.
Then he went back to the table and sat down with his arms crossed.
‘This is so embarrassing. ‘You can’t take it away by force.’
Since my tact was unusual these days, any trick would not work.
I thought about it for a while, but couldn’t come up with a clever idea right away.
‘Well, there’s no need to rush.’
There will always be an opportunity. I was planning to see an opportunity sometime soon and try to persuade him again.
Right now, there was a lot more work to do besides that.
Where is there room to rest?
Whenever I had time, I had to practice Bulgwangilseonji, the season of Amipah.
He left his napping granddaughter behind and resumed his martial arts skills.
After about an hour or so, his expression suddenly brightened.
‘hmm. I think I kind of understand it now.’
Did I gain some insight? Jinsan Yu suddenly stretched out his index finger into the air.
When I focused my mind like that, an amazing change occurred. Small spheres of energy began to appear at the tips of the fingers.
But the joy is short-lived.
Suddenly, the sphere made of Qi burst like a water drop.
Pong-!
Yu Jin-san’s face quickly became glum.
It failed again this time.
At that time, I heard laughter from behind me.
“Fuhi.”
It seemed that the granddaughter who had been taking a nap woke up.
When I turned around, I found myself holding my stomach as if something was funny.
“It’s nothing to laugh about. “I’ve been getting stuck here for a few days now.”
“huh? “Is it that difficult?”
Yoo Seol had an expression that he couldn’t understand. Since I haven’t practiced it myself, I have no choice but to know.
The plan was for my grandfather to learn the secret of Bulgwangilseonji first and then pass it on to him.
“of course. You must continuously push a certain amount of true energy into the tip of your index finger without any error. “You have to concentrate more than one liter of power like that and then release it explosively according to the structure.”
Moving energy precisely is impossible without a high degree of concentration.
In addition, you must increase your proficiency through repeated training.
However, Yoo Seol’s reaction was still lukewarm.
“What’s so difficult about that?”
After speaking, the granddaughter raised her index finger.
Immediately, my fingertips seemed to vibrate and then emit bright light.
The energy began to gather and form a sphere.
Yu Jin-san, who was watching, opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
“...Huh?”
But when I thought about the things I had to do here, I couldn’t just ignore it.
In the future, when I received the money from selling the Buddha statue at Heukyabang, I planned to give some away.
“Oh, you don’t have to do that, but first, we will move you to a new place to stay.”
Jinsan Yu shook his head and tried to dissuade him.
“No, there is no need for that. “It’s time to leave.”
“Are you saying you’re leaving already?”
“That’s what happened with the schedule. “I feel bad for not being able to go and see your leader.”
The chieftain, Ye Sheng, was on his way out with the general.
It was impossible to just wait for him, not knowing when he would return.
“I will convey this to Lord Zhang and Grand Council Chen.”
“Thank you. “I’m leaving now, but I won’t forget the bond we had with you.”
The warriors of the Heavenly Sword Lodge bowed their heads towards the departing Yin-Yang twin monsters and clasped them.
And no one left until they completely disappeared from sight.

After leaving Cheongeom Mountain Lodge, Joson was heading to the meeting place.
The destination was Hwayong Gaekjan in a nearby village.
The plan was to get information there and then move on to the next area.
While walking for a while, my granddaughter patted her stomach and said.
“I’m hungry... I don’t have any money, but I should have eaten something.”
“Just be patient. “Maybe the rich lady in Heukyabang will buy you something delicious.”
Yu Seol nodded once and changed the topic and asked.
“Grandpa. But where is the chief? “How long will it take for us to sell our Buddha statues in Heukyabang?”
Jinsan Yu looked to the side with a puzzled expression.
This is because Yoo Seol was not there when he had a conversation with Eun Hwarin.
“how did you know?”
“I heard everything. “I just can’t hear anything.”
Is it because the unique constitution of Seonumji and Hyeongyeong’s physical abilities meet? It was truly a hearing that was beyond imagination.
Since the sound of the conversation was not blocked at the time, it made perfect sense.
“Our Seol has really sharp ears. “Do you remember Dunhuang?”
“Yes, we went together. Desert city~”
“Yes, that’s right. You have to go a long way from there. “If I were to bargain, it would take a good year.”
A look of disappointment appeared on Yu Seol’s face.
“phew. “For that long?”
“Let’s take our time and wait. Won’t we have finished all our work by then? “We will use that as our retirement fund.”
“Then how are you holding on until then?”
If you wanted to, there was also a way to borrow funds from Heukyabang using the Buddha statue as collateral. However, Yu Jin-san’s personality did not like being indebted to others.
“hmm. “Let’s take good care of the loot from now on.”
“....”
The only alternative offered is to steal the enemy’s money.
The sullen rumors soon quieted down.
After a while we walked in silence.
Grandson’s steps finally reached their destination.
It was a large guesthouse built on three levels, and Jeomsoy was waiting in front of the door.
As Joson approached, Jeomsoi asked first, putting both hands together.
“By any chance... are they actually the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters?”
“That’s right.”
“I was waiting. “I’ll take you inside, so come here quickly.”
It seemed like the Black Night Room had taken measures in advance.
Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter followed Jeom So-i into the guesthouse.
There was a lot of commotion everywhere and it looked very noisy.
However, the place he guided us to was a slightly different place.
As we moved to the innermost part of the first floor, another door appeared.
“This is the room. Then, enjoy your meal.”
“hmm. But is there anyone inside? “Is there someone you want to meet?”
Weren’t you supposed to meet Eun Hwa-rin here today? However, there was no sign of popularity inside the door.
“He said he would come in right when the meal was over.”
It seemed like they took some care to ensure that you could eat your food comfortably.
And one more thing. Judging from Jeomsoi’s reaction, I got the feeling that this guesthouse also belonged to Heukyabang.
Jinsan Yu nodded once and glanced at his granddaughter.
“I’ll see you soon. “What have you prepared for us?”
Yoo Seol, who was hungry, immediately opened the door as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.
After checking the inside, the gloomy expression instantly brightened.
“Wow!”
Large guest rooms often have a separate space for VIPs. This place was like that.
A table covered with golden silk was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
