Episode 17: Queen Bee of Heuksan Island (2)
Yu Jin-san, who was staring at his granddaughter, burst into laughter.
This is because Yuseol was holding onto the tree and dancing, flailing his arms and legs. It’s like joking around.
“Hehehehe. “Our Seol makes grandpa happy.”
“Hi~.”
Seeing his smiling face, he seed excited.
But when I looked closely, I noticed sothing strange. Isn’t Yu Jin-san’s expression, which was laughing, suddenly hardening?
“…Unbelievable?”
I thought it was just aningless fluttering, but the reality was completely different.
Doesn’t the path in which the bamboo spear moves follow the pattern of Confucian singing?
He sits on the floor every day and imitates just by observing his own practice.
‘Is this the seonum delay? With talent like this, Yu Jiajang’s spear might be revived in the future.’
It was truly an amazing quality.
It was as if he had just taken baby steps in spearmanship, but considering that he was still a two-year-old baby, it was sothing that had no precedent in the martial arts world.
What grandfather wouldn’t like his granddaughter showing natural talent?
Yu Jin-san, who was in a good mood, hugged his granddaughter with a proud expression. Afterwards, I sat down on the floor, took so fresh air, and enjoyed so leisure ti.
“A long ti ago, there was a ti when Lee Hwa-chang (梨花槍) of the Yang family and Salpung-chang (殺風槍) of our Confucian family competed to be the best spearman in the world. It is said that although the Yang family’s spear skills were flashy and powerful, they could not beat the spear skills of our Yu family leader, which contained softness amidst heaviness.”
It was a story Yu Jin-san also heard from his grandfather when he was young. And he had an obligation to pass down the family anecdote to his granddaughter.
“But in today’s era, the Yang family holds the honor of being the best spearman in the world. If Yugasalpungchang’s special skill had not been put into practice, the result would have been different. Unfortunately, all my grandfather inherited was this Fire Dragon Divine Spear.”
Yu Seol was blinking as if he didn’t understand what was being said. Yu Jin- san must have found the sight cute as he stuck his fingers into the hole in his cloth clothes and
stroked the child’s head with a kind smile.
“I’ll buy you so clothes when I go down to town.”
The granddaughter’s clothes were all things she had bought before coming to Yangju Mountain. Because he had grown so quickly, nothing fit his body now, and even what he had was torn and frayed in various places and was nothing more than a rag.
At that ti, Yoo Seol wiggled his fingers and pointed sowhere.
“Twine clothes.”
Jinsan Yu looked at the front of the kitchen with a puzzled expression. There was only one dead rabbit lying there.
“It hasn’t been long since we ate. “The rabbit will be eaten for dinner.”
Yu Seol shook his head and pointed his finger again.
“Twine clothes!”
Yu Jin-san chuckled as if he understood and stood up.
“It looks like you’re jealous of the clothes the rabbit is wearing. Onya, Grandpa will take it from you.”
He entered the kitchen, holding the rabbit’s ears in one hand. And not even a minute passed, he ca out holding a piece of leather.
She had to tan her skin, but the granddaughter urged her, extending her index finger as if she had no intention of waiting.
“Well, let’s see…”
After thinking for a mont, Jinsan Yu punched two holes in the leather, tied it with thread, and hung it around his neck. The fur that went down the back looked quite like a blood-covered robe.
But I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the baby wearing a blood jacket.
“haha! “Hehehe!”
Yuseol also jumped around with his arms wide open, as if he was happy about the gift he had received after so long.
“Hi~”
Just a short break. Yu Jin-san, who smiled happily, grabbed the spear to resu training. Perhaps because of the tumor in my head, my physical strength was decreasing day by day.
I couldn’t stop physical activity in order to last even a little longer.
“Okay then, let’s start again.”
As if he had been waiting, Yoo Seol also stood next to him holding his stick. He seed to have fun imitating his grandfather.
To a child, a stick was a toy and training was play.
That’s why Yu Jin-san didn’t try to tell anything. All I had to do was slow down the movents and let my eyes get used to it.
* * *
I spent nine days concentrating on training without anything special happening.
And as the days passed, the surprise of Mt. Yujin grew. This is because the granddaughter’s movents were gradually becoming more sophisticated.
Of course, to soone who does not know how to sing, it would seem like the aningless fluttering of a baby.
On the outside, the granddaughter’s gestures had no power, but Yu Jin-san was confident. This kind of training will give you explosive potential to beco a Changgui in the future.
He devoted himself to singing and talked endlessly about the techniques of Confucian singing.
Although I was not old enough to understand Yuseol now, I planned to keep listening to it so that it would be imprinted deep in my heart.
“The softest thing of all things is the wind. Because nothing can change the nature of the wind. “The root of our Confucian singing thod lies in this breeze.”
Yu Jin-san, who was in a trance, was performing a chang dance. Because he was not using his inner strength, he was not strong, but his appearance was old-fashioned and beautiful.
“The wind is flexible because it can move anywhere, and when its power is concentrated in one place, it can break through rocks.”
Every ti he opened his window, a cool breeze blew out.
As if it was fun, Yoo Seol started cackling and imitating the movents.
“It’s fun.”
Practicing spearmanship in old age was physically difficult, but being with my granddaughter cleared my mind and filled with joy.
Around the ti of Ilda-gyeong, the movent of Yujin Mountain suddenly stopped.
Phew!
He sunk the spear into the floor and began to untie his waist.
“Oh my, Grandpa’s stomach is sore, so he needs to get so rest.”
When I looked to the side, I saw that Yoo Seol had put his bamboo spear in the ground and put his hands on his waist.
“Oh, my stomach hurts.”
Jinsan Yu looked down with an expression of bewildernt.
The way he looked up at himself with his big eyes blinking was just cute.
“This is not sothing you copy, son.”
“I understand.”
I couldn’t tell if he really understood, but it was amazing how well he listened.
It was a ti when I was relaxing with a happy smile. Suddenly, his eyes turned to the back of the tree outside the ten chapters.
A group of five people was approaching cautiously.
“I guess you were practicing martial arts, old man.”
It was Chaeju Pungho of Heuksando Island. He ca with Hyunhee, who had beco the commander-in-chief, and several subordinates.
“What is training at this age? Just exercise. “But what happened?”
Hyunhee, dressed in an elegant outfit, stepped forward.
“You haven’t already forgotten, right?”
“well. “My mories have been going back and forth these days.”
“You decided to go to Baekyang County with .”
Yu Jin-san hugged his granddaughter with a sour expression.
“I’ve never done that. If you have nothing else to do, go back quickly. “I have to feed my granddaughter.”
Hyunhee’s expression instantly turned into a tearful expression. He looked like he was about to burst into tears.
“…What do you an? “Don’t you really rember that we decided to go to Geomhu’s retirent ceremony?”
“I don’t rember anything like that, so you can go back quickly.”
She looked at Chaeju Pungho with tears in her eyes. It was as if his eyes were asking to do sothing.
Pung-ho made an embarrassed expression.
“The old man doesn’t rember, but there’s nothing we can do about it. “Let’s not disturb your rest and go back first.”
“…I was just waiting for this day.”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene indifferently, was silent for a mont and then burst into laughter.
“Hehehe. When you go down to the village, you have to hide your identity, but doesn’t that require practice? “I’ve tried acting once and it seems worthy.”
Hyunhee, who looked like she was about to burst into tears at any mont, smiled brightly as if she had never done that before. Then he made a pouting noise again with a sulky expression.
“Ugh. “You’re really doing it!”
Yu Jin-san chuckled and turned his back while holding his granddaughter.
“I’ll get ready in a mont and co out, so please sit there and wait.”
I couldn’t go down to the village without any preparation.
After washing my body and changing into clean clothes, I ca out looking quite fresh.
Pung-ho looked at him and expressed his admiration.
“You look younger when you dress like that. “You’re really cool, old man.”
“Hmm. Well, I heard that a lot when I was younger. “But do you plan to go with ?”
“no. “I’m not in a position to leave, so I’m going to pick you up at the bottom of the mountain.”
“It’s a distance that can be covered in half a day. “It’s not like we’re going a long way, so what kind of pick--up do you need?”
It wasn’t Eugene San who didn’t know his true intentions. Perhaps it is because his wife and son are from the Shaman faction.
My neighbor’s love story had nothing to do with it.
“…still.”
“Okay, let’s go. “If you want to buy at least a al when you arrive, you have to leave right away.”
* * *
Baiyang County, Shaanxi Province, is an area with a small population compared to its area.
However, the recent appearance was completely different.
Wherever I went, there were crowds of Murim people. It was the retirent ceremony of Geomhu, who was renowned as the best expert in the world.
It was the desire of all martial people to capture the last appearance of the Supre Being. Moreover, celebrities from all over the world will flock to one place. It was also a good opportunity to gain insight.
“I can finally see Geomhu with my own eyes…”
It was a small sect called Cheongseolmun (淸雪門). He was chatting with a colleague at the entrance to an alley.
“I only heard through rumors, but not only is she skilled in martial arts, but her beauty is also the best in the world.”
“Hehe. Is that so? Then, should this older brother try flirting with you?”
“Arthur. “If you play around with your mouth carelessly, you could end up in trouble without even a mouse or a bird knowing.”
“It’s just the two of us. But his past was famous for being martial and not very good, right? “Is it okay?”
“I ca to take a look because I didn’t think it would be okay. Perhaps this retirent ceremony will be truly worth seeing. “I heard that there are more than one person who has a grudge against both the political and non-partisan factions.”
There is a popular saying in Gangho that the more you speak sparingly, the longer you live.
They were engrossed in conversation and quickly shut their mouths. This is because they discovered people approaching nearby.
“Hmm! “It will take a while.”
He was a white-haired old man wearing bamboo sticks, holding a large cane wrapped in cloth. And a woman carrying a baby was walking next to him.
At a glance, it looked like a family on an outing.
At that ti, one of the gatekeepers of Cheongseolmun, who was leaning against the wall of the pavilion, asked with a puzzled look.
“Grandpa, this is the road to Soho Gaekjan?”
Jinsan Yu paused for a mont and nodded once.
“That’s right. We’re on our way there now. “Because I couldn’t eat.”
“It’s better not to go there. “Because it’s full of martial arts people right now.”
“hmm. But it was the sa no matter where I went in town. “It’s scary, but I have to fill my stomach, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Another mber of the Cheongseolmun Temple next to him nodded in agreent.
“There will be no harm done here because the Murim Alliance has banned conflict. But I can’t be held responsible if you act while eating.”
“haha. The young people are really kind and considerate. “Thank you for the advice.”
After speaking, he took the lead again.
After a while, Hyunhee ca up to him and naturally crossed her arms and gently waved at him.
“What food does your father like?”
“I think just a bowl of son will be enough.”
“Are you afraid it might be expensive? I have a lot of money. “I’ll buy you sothing delicious today.”
It seed like he received a lot of pocket money from Chaeju.
Eugene San usually didn’t have much of an appetite, so it didn’t matter what he ate. More than that, it was fun to watch her change.
“How have you managed to live in a Taoist sect while hiding such a bright personality?”
“That’s right~. Why did I go through all that trouble while being watched by the shaman faction? “I wasted my life.”
“You seem to be satisfied with your current life.”
“sure. Wild vegetables have everything you want. “You can do anything.”
Hyunhee’s answer was without hesitation.
In Heuksando, her presence was like a queen bee, and every word she said was law.
Far from feeling uncomfortable, she was now imrsed in the fun of bandit life.
“But wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to et Taoists who recognize your face?”
“no way. How easy is that? “How wide is the river?”
“Well, that’s not wrong. It looks like we’ve arrived, so we better eat quickly and leave.”
