Episode 42: Will I perform the ritual or die? (2)
Paedomun Nonhyeon-gak (論現閣).
Executive-level figures from various factions gathered together in this hall to discuss major and small affairs.
On one side, Baek-gyu and Yu-jin-san were seen with their fingers crossed and serious expressions on their faces.
For so reason, there was only silence in the hall. It seed as if he was waiting for sothing.
A silence that seems to last forever like the waves of a lake.
As the tension reached its peak in silence, soone ca by and announced the news.
“Lord Moon, this is Gwangho!”
Baek-gyu shouted as if he had been waiting.
“Co in!”
Gwangho entered with restrained movents, got down on one knee and prostrated himself.
Everyone looked at his mouth with nervous faces. This was because everyone’s fate depended on the next word.
Gwangho took a mont to catch his breath and spoke clearly while looking at the people around him.
“It is said that Macheonhoe held a head shaving ceremony!”
At that mont, the executives of Paedo Moon simultaneously cheered.
“I knew that!”
“ha ha ha!”
“It’s just as the old man said!”
It was a situation where I gave them the end of the day and waited. Macheonhoe accepted the proposal in a state of doubt.
Now that he had officially received the support of Macheonhoe, the way to beco Hohyeon’s loser was opened.
While everyone was happy, only Yujinsan was silently holding his teacup.
Baekgyu asked with a smile on his face.
“But why does your expression look like that? “Aren’t you happy?”
“It was sothing I expected anyway. “The fight will begin now.”
“What do you think will happen?”
Jinsan Yu took a sip of tea and spoke with a serious expression.
“Now that the warriors of the Macheonhoe have all gone bald like you, the rumor that they are joining us will quickly spread. It must have reached the ears of bloodletters by now. “What would I do if my younger brother was the master of bloodletting?”
“Shouldn’t we first wipe out those people who are fearlessly standing on the other side? “It’s embarrassing and easy.”
“That is correct. Even the quick-calculating head of the Macheonhoe would have known that. Nevertheless, the reason he made this decision is because he believes in your father-in-law, an absolute expert.”
“But…”
Baekgyu trailed off. This was because I did not have the confidence to say I was sorry for lying to Macheonhoe after the hair-shaving ceremony.
Jin-san Yu did not know how he felt.
“I have never said with my own mouth that I am an absolute expert. Isn’t it the sa for you too? Strictly speaking, they did not commit fraud because they just misunderstood it themselves. “
“But you can’t tell the truth, can you? The absolute master of Paedoism that you all believe in was actually a three-year-old baby. “If I say this, what do you think the Macheonhoe will say?”
The executives of Paedomoon, who had been listening silently, burst into laughter as if they could not bear it.
He seed curious about what kind of expression the head of Macheonhoe would make when he found out the truth.
“Let’s keep quiet for the ti being. There is no need to break their morale by telling them the truth. In any case, the most important issue now is the defense of the Macheonhoe.”
“But you can’t make an absolute master who doesn’t exist and send it to , right?”
The elder on Baekgyu’s left said, suppressing laughter.
“How about recruiting useful children and sending support to Macheonhoe?”
“That would be correct. But can we stop them with just a few support people?”
“If we want to repel them easily, we will have to send 30% of them, including Lord Mun.”
“But if a lot of people are missing, they will realize that we sent reinforcents. Then the blade will head here again.”
The situation was not as easy as I thought.
As the hall fell silent, everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Jinsan Yu.
He sighed and spoke softly as if he knew that would happen.
“First of all, we need to unify the uniforms of Paedomun and Macheonhoe, at least for the ti being. That way you can confuse your enemies. “If they were the ones who also held the head-shaving ceremony, they wouldn’t reject that much.”
“That is sothing that can be implented right away. “From now on, both parties can take their tops off.”
As expected, they were Safa people who did not care about dignity.
Yu Jin-san nodded as if he was satisfied with their refreshing appearance.
“Then the enemies will not be able to tell whether our warriors belong to the Paedomun or the Macheonhoe. In that situation, both factions exchange personnel and deploy them.”
“Exchanging personnel… what do you an?”
Yu Jin-san took out the wallet from his pocket and laid out all the coins on the table.
He then divided the dozen in half and exchanged positions one by one.
“They all look the sa on the outside, but among them, everything from third-class to first-class is mixed together. I have now moved the second and third class to the left and placed all first class to the right. Although there are more numbers on the left, in reality, the power on the right, which looks empty, is several tis stronger.”
Baek-gyu clapped his hands together with an expression of shock.
“I understand. “I think I should secretly send the lower-ranking warriors of the Macheonhoe here to disguise themselves and then lead the elites to the Macheonhoe to fill up the number.”
“Please do so. I’ll have to wait there, defeat the enemies, and then launch a counterattack to gain the upper hand. From now on, we must complete the work in a way that minimizes damage.”
“I know very well. “If the tide of the war turns against us, the master of bloodletting will not be able to refuse my challenge.”
When the content was finished, Jinsan Yu left the table and stood up.
“I hope everything goes as planned. I have to go see my granddaughter, so I’ll leave now. “Let’s talk slowly.”
At that mont, Baekgyu and the executives of Paedomun stood up at the sa ti and handed over the gun.
I can’t believe I’m giving this kind of highest honor to a restaurant guest. This was sothing that could never have happened in a political faction.
“I think it’s true that life experiences cannot be ignored. “Who in the world could follow your trick?”
“There was a guy who got scolded for saying sothing like that before. When I say trickery, don’t I sound like a villain? “Just call it the wisdom of an adult.”
Everyone laughed heartily at Yu Jin-san’s joke.
“ha ha ha! “As expected of your older brother.”
“Go in, old man!”
He put one hand on his shoulder and walked out of the pavilion.
Light steps leading towards the center of the manor.
When we finally arrived, there was a large pavilion in a well-maintained flower garden. It was a place where mbers of the clan stayed.
A growling sound kept coming from inside.
When I opened the door, I saw my granddaughter eating milk fruit between the won.
“Habae!”
He lowered his upper body and hugged his granddaughter who was running towards him.
A happy smile ca out as the weight of the child beca slightly heavier.
“Hehehehe. “Are you having a good ti?”
“Mama, eat it.” Hi-Hi.”
Seeing that his stomach was bulging like an apple, he must have eaten a lot of this and that.
I couldn’t help but love the sight of him smiling brightly with his face covered in crumbs.
While I was wiping my mouth with my thumb, the won ca and chattered.
“I’m jealous, grandpa! “The child is cute and so intelligent!”
“Did you understand everything I said? Ugh. “If only my daughter would follow along even half of the ti.”
“How did you get such cute granddaughters?”
“Who do you resemble? “With thick eyebrows and clear facial features, you must be the best beauty in the world!”
It was Mount Eugene, surrounded by about fifteen middle-aged won.
The constant barrage of questions was driving crazy.
Suddenly feeling dizzy, he slowly exhaled and nodded.
“Thank you everyone. “Did my child have an accident?”
The won shook their heads in a hurry.
“Is that possible?”
“What kind of accident could such a pretty child have?”
“Are you trying to take away already?”
Eugene San held the child, patted him, and thought for a mont.
It seed that leaving the child in the care of mothers who were skilled at raising children from ti to ti would also help the child’s emotional developnt.
And he also needed so ti to be alone.
“He is a poor child whose only blood relation is his grandfather. It feels good to see my granddaughter smiling like this for the first ti in a while. “If you don’t want to be rude, could you let us hang out here a little longer until the sun goes down?”
Fortunately, the won nodded willingly with sincere expressions.
“Please just leave it to . “Because I can take care of twelve examinations a day.”
“Ho Ho. “The child is so cute that we have more fun.”
They were bold won who took care of the household affairs of the clan.
Although there were instructions from Maeng Lian-hwa, they were also feeling a little fun from being a child in their boring daily life.
After finishing his story, Jinsan Yu picked up the child and made eye contact.
“Grandpa will co get you later, so hang out here a little longer. “You can stay well, right?”
“Don’t go to class~. Hmph.”
The sight of my granddaughter crying and waving her arms made feel weak, but now was a ti when I needed to make a decision.
“I’m going to pick up a snack.”
The child, who was dubious about hearing the word ‘snack’, blinked his big eyes and asked.
“Seol’s snack?”
“Okay then, just hang out here for a little while.”
“Yes… co quickly.”
Even after eating enough to fill my stomach, I still crave snacks. I couldn’t help but laugh.
Jin-san Yu hugged the child with a happy smile, handed it back to the wives, and ca out.
The place where his steps were directed was a residence on the outskirts of the manor.
‘Now even a mont’s hesitation is a luxury.’
When he arrived at his destination, he quickly entered the room and sat cross-legged. The goal was to build up your inner strength through fortune-telling through the Neigongsim thod.
After becoming a mber of Paedomun’s family, the speed at which my strength accumulated increased several tis. This is because, with the help of this place, I was able to focus my ti, excluding child care, solely on my internal energy training.
He even saved his sleeping ti and only spurred on his inner gong training.
Dangers everywhere are getting stronger day by day. However, I was anxious because my body was getting older and my left arm could not even swing a spear.
I had to beco stronger to protect my granddaughter. There was no ti to relax even for a mont.
‘Hwangolbaetae is probably the only way.’
Bone tamorphosis. This is a phenonon in which bones and flesh are reorganized and the entire body becos optimized for learning martial arts.
Once you complete the ritual, your body will beco slightly younger and the injury on your left arm will recover imdiately. After that, it was possible to sharpen the wind spear, so there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.
‘I think we’re almost there now.’
I don’t know anything else, but I’ve trained my inner strength to the point where I can rival even an absolute expert. Now is the ti to test it.
A profound energy starting from the Danjeon began to circulate through the blood vessels of the entire body.
The waves of inner energy, as calm as the open sea, were holding their breath and storing up their strength, as if waiting for the right mont.
Thirty-six acupuncture points used in martial arts. In Mt. Yujin, all blood vessels except the Immaek and Dokmaek were pierced.
If these two acupuncture channels, called the gateway to life and death, are pierced, the complete transformation will begin.
At so point, his three-year-old inner strength began to converge into one place.
‘You can do it, Jinsan.’
After a while, his true energy started rushing toward the gate like lava exploding.
thud-! thud-! thud-!
It was the sound of gushing energy hitting the veins.
Each ti the wave of true energy that turned into an awl hit the blood path, it gradually lost its strength, but I could never give up.
It was ti for the sixth attempt.
Suddenly, a heart-pounding shiver spread throughout my body.
