Chapter 143
Episode 143: Hit Just One (1)
“Do you remember robbing the Cheonryong Sanghoe with the help of an old man a long time ago?”
“How could I forget that incident? “Even though I’m old, I don’t have dementia yet.”
Eunhwarin laughed quietly at Yujinsan’s joke.
“Anyway, I heard you promised then. “We decided to return some of the funds we obtained at the time to Baekyang County.”
The residents of that place who had shown good kindness to him in the past still lingered in his eyes.
Was that why? At that time, Jinsan Yu told them to share most of his share. By the time the incident at that time was forgotten from everyone’s memory.
However, since it was a verbal promise, there was little expectation that it would be kept. Because it is human nature for those who have something to want to have more.
“That’s amazing. “Did the Ark really tell you to do that?”
“yes. We have already distributed supplies worth 800 nyang to the residents, and there will be one more round of support.”
“I didn’t look at the wrong person. “It must have been a difficult decision.”
“As you know, trust in information should be heavier than a thousand gold pieces. Moreover, several projects have been showing results recently, so it is not a burden.”
Heukyabang was a group that bought and sold information, but that was not all.
He was operating several bureaus and merchants, and was rapidly expanding his commercial area throughout the Central Plains.
The reason it was possible was because they succeeded in recruiting outstanding talents like Eun Hwarin.
Crucially, it was thanks to Pungho’s personality that he knew how to recognize and embrace people.
“I’m happy to hear that Heukyabang is growing well, as if it were my own business. Were there any other difficult parts?”
“Everything is fine now. This is because the Apostolic Association is fully supporting us. “It’s all thanks to the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters.”
It seemed that the treaty made with Yeongyeong, the Lord of the Apostles, was having an effect.
The non-aggression agreement between the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters and the Apostolic Alliance that she requested. The condition was that they would look after Heukyabang and not bother him.
In return, the Apostolic Association also received information, so it was a good thing for both parties.
“Did you understand that far? There’s nothing to worry about. “Just think of it as a small gift.”
“Anyway, I really wanted to say thank you. “Anyway, where is Mr. Eumgoe?”
“The training center is currently closed. “But what happened?”
“Since you are here, I have some information to share with you two.”
Eun Hwa-rin knew a lot, but it seemed like she had not heard the identity of the eum-gae.
Was it the influence that made the gun-hitting guys of Gaebong-seong crack down on joining? Anyway, I didn’t even tell the head of the southern branch. It was frustrating.
“I’m the superior, so you just have to pass it on to me.”
“Ah…”
Eunhwarin agreed, but still felt uneasy.
Seeing that, Yu Jin-san hit his chest with his fist and sighed.
“What do you know? Even though you’re the head of the branch, didn’t you understand that? “Eum-gae is my granddaughter.”
“Yes?”
“For more details, go to Chongta and ask. Everyone who knows will know.”
Eunhwarin was speechless for a moment with an expression of bewilderment.
It was unbelievable, but there was no reason for Yang Gui to lie.
I can’t believe you didn’t tell me this important information. It was natural to feel betrayed.
“…If I go to Chongta, I will definitely have to ask about it.”
“But what brought you here so far? “There must be a separate purpose, right?”
“Yes, actually, I came to tell you that this place seems to be in danger.”
“Danger?”
“The Murim Alliance masters who were on our radar disappeared one by one. Many of them were discovered in Shaanxi. Among them, the figure of Emperor Gwon was also captured.”
Gwon Hwang (拳皇) Ma Gwang-cheol. He was a being that struck fear into the warriors of Sapa just by his name.
He was famous for fighting with only his two fists and having never been defeated.
It was not normal for such an absolute expert to appear.
Moreover, according to Do-gwi’s words, wasn’t it said that Changryongdae members active in Shaanxi were also being summoned?
Clearly something unusual was happening.
“hmm. “If they are gathering in Shaanxi, they will naturally be targeting Hohyeon.”
Aren’t the children who escaped from the Amisan training ground here? There was no way that Changnyongdae had not figured out this fact until now.
They will somehow try to get the children back and raise them as Changryong members.
It was a situation that had to be experienced at least once, and it was something that Yu Jin-san had predicted. That was the reason why the apostate monk was brought here.
“I think the same thing. We’re continuing to track it, and if we find anything, we’ll send someone here. “Because there is a secret branch of the Black Yabang not far away.”
“The more I hear that you even made a secret bunta, the more surprising I am. By the way, does Baek-gyu know this?”
“You don’t know yet. Even if that wasn’t the case, I was planning to meet you.”
“Thank you. “Please do so.”
“you’re welcome.”
* * *
Even immediately after Eun Hwarin passed away, Yu Jin-san devoted himself solely to martial arts training.
Therefore, all of Hohyeon’s defense preparations were being carried out under Baekgyu’s leadership.
‘Now is not the time for me to step forward.’
It wasn’t my intention to not pay attention to this place. Just waiting for the right time.
Until then, the most important thing was to increase the level of success of the Diamond Buddha God Technique as much as possible.
When five days had passed like that. Change has finally come.
Hahahaha!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the new model of Mt. Yujin and then disappeared again.
Soon his closed eyes slowly opened.
There was unbearable joy in the pupils that caused the earthquake.
“done!”
Jin-san Yu jumped up from his seat and raised both hands above his head.
Finally, the Diamond Buddha God’s Gong has reached the level of the Seven Stars.
It had been a whopping 15 days since the training was achieved. How much suffering have you had so far?
Although it was only a one-step increase, it felt like I had persevered through a period of hardship.
Skin as hard as a rock and muscles as steel. And the organs inside my body felt like they were wearing self-defense gear.
It seemed like his strong body could withstand the sword energy.
I felt like I wanted to dance, but I couldn’t do it for the sake of face.
“Heh heh. “I guess I need to get some air for a long time.”
When I opened the door and came out, there was something wrapped in paper in front of the door. Judging by the smell, it seemed like the monks had brought dumplings.
It didn’t seem old, as there was still a slight trace of warmth remaining.
Eugene-san, holding it by his side, ran somewhere without any hesitation.
Just before leaving Paedomun’s manor, the child who recognized him shouted out.
“Hello, Grandpa!”
It was a child whom he named Cheongpung. He was also the strongest guy at Amisan’s training ground.
Eugene San continued running, putting his hands behind his back.
“Oh yeah!”
For the first time in a while, his voice was clear.
The place where my light steps were heading was the mountain behind where my granddaughter would be.
Only after getting somewhat close to his destination did his light attack begin to control its speed. If you don’t silence the noise, it will interfere with your meditation.
Every few days, whenever I went to check on my granddaughter, she always sat in the same spot.
And today was no different.
It didn’t deviate even an inch from the position it was in two days ago, and its posture was the same. So far, it hasn’t budged.
It was truly incredible mental strength.
‘Grandpa brought dumplings.’
Nearby were the pots that had been brought in a few days ago.
They brought food to you so you could eat whenever you were hungry, regardless of whether you ate or not.
Part of me wanted to stop him from eating and doing it, but how could I? It’s something you do because you like it. Moreover, if I stopped in the middle, my training might be in vain, so I had no choice but to be careful.
“….”
He put down the dumplings very carefully and turned his back without even taking a breath.
The presence of a squirrel would not be any smaller than this.
It was when I stood on tiptoe like a magpie and took a few steps.
“Where are you going, grandpa?”
The refreshing voice of a child that is familiar to my ears.
Was it because of him that his granddaughter woke up from meditation? Yu Jin-san smiled awkwardly, probably feeling sorry.
“this! “It looks like grandpa got in the way.”
“No, it just finished. But is it time to eat already? “I’m not hungry yet.”
“Already? “It sat like that for ten days.”
“Yes? “I thought it wasn’t even past two o’clock?”
It seemed like he had forgotten himself and was wandering in a trance in space.
It was not strange to forget the passage of time during the process of enlightenment. I just can’t understand Mount Yujin because I haven’t experienced it.
“You don’t know how worried I was that he was dead because he didn’t move. “Have you had any results?”
“No, I’m dying of frustration. “I definitely feel something, but if I try to catch it, I can’t.”
“You got caught? what?”
“Hmm… maybe I can hold the wind and hold the water. “I think I can catch everything in nature.”
“Capturing nature? “Why is that nonsense?”
Yu Seol seemed to think for a moment about how to answer. But how can enlightenment be explained in words?
“But grandpa. “Have you eaten anything good besides me?”
“Are you saying it’s a good thing? “I wonder if my grandfather secretly took the elixir by himself?”
Yu Seol’s gaze looked at the grandfather up and down.
“Strange. “It definitely seems like something has changed.”
Did his granddaughter also feel that he had become stronger? A shy smile appeared on Jin-san Yu’s face.
“…What do you think has changed?”
“hmm. “I feel a little stronger.”
To the extent that Yuseol, like no one else, can be said to be strong, it certainly seems to have had the effect of training in the Vajra Buddha God Technique.
I was very happy, but I couldn’t show it in a selfish way.
Jin-san Jin-san pretended to clear his throat and turned away.
“You saw it clearly. “Come closer here for a moment, baby.”
The granddaughter approached me with a puzzled expression and her eyes closed.
“…why?”
“Grandpa also learned a new martial art. “Go ahead and punch me in the stomach.”
“no. “How can I hit my grandpa?”
Jinsan Yu nodded with a serious face.
“I’m not kidding. “I’m trying to test the power of martial arts, so give it a try.”
“How hard?”
I was confident that my current body could withstand anything.
But who is the opponent? Jinsan Yu was worried even while answering.
“Try to hit it with only half… no, 30% of your strength.”
“Samhal? “No, then you’ll die.”
Although he did not join the ranks of Hwagyeong, he experienced a transformation of the bones and mastered the Geumgangbulgaeshingong to the level of the Seven Saints.
To think that he would die from the power of only 30%? And that too in one shot. I couldn’t help but feel proud.
“I can’t believe I’m being ignored like this by the granddaughter I raised on my back. “Oh my, I can’t be this sad in my old age…”
What can I do when my grandfather talks like this?
After thinking about it, Yoo Seol clenched his fists.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
That was when my granddaughter pulled her fist behind her shoulder.
At that moment, Jinsan Yu’s heart sank.
So far, we’ve always been on the same side, so we didn’t feel any discomfort. As I stood face to face, a fear I had never experienced before began to tighten my heart.
The pressure was so overwhelming that I couldn’t even breathe. It felt like I was fighting a mountain, not a person.
The confidence that was overflowing just a moment ago has already disappeared.
“Wait a minute.”
“Why?”
Yu Jin-san spoke urgently before his granddaughter left.
“Okay, let’s test the power of this second weapon first.”
