Chapter 44
Episode 44 It’s something to congratulate (2)
After finishing treatment and returning to his residence, Jin-san Yu was deep in thought.
In front of me, my three-year-old granddaughter was sleeping, lying on her back.
His face was full of worry as he carefully covered the child with a blanket.
‘It’s a turning point…. Getting younger is a good thing, but the problem is that you can’t predict the extent.’
Although sufficient conditions were met, I couldn’t take the risk now that I had to raise a child.
The given time is at most five years.
In the meantime, he planned to endure by passing on his martial arts skills to his granddaughter.
‘Let’s think positively. I may have to postpone the transformation for a while, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t gained anything.’
The veins were opened and the flow of energy and blood became more smooth.
And now that the injury on his left arm has healed, he should be able to use his spear again.
First, the severed Hwaryong Shinchang had to be restored.

The next morning.
Eugene San came out to Dongcheon Market, carrying his luggage and holding his granddaughter’s hand.
Although it was full of warlike Safa people, it was a safe area as it was under the management of Paedomun.
Yoo Seol was busy looking at the street vendors spread out all over the place, tilting his head.
While walking like that for a while, Yu Jin-san suddenly stumbled. Because my granddaughter pulled my hand.
“Oh my. Didn’t I tell you not to use your inner energy at any time? “Grandpa just fell and almost got hurt.”
Although the child looked weak on the outside, he was so strong that he did not even flinch.
When I looked down, I saw Yuseol sniffing like a puppy.
“Hey, what is this?”
There was something the size of an forearm hanging on a stall on the left. A fragrant and savory scent stimulated my nose.
“Well, that’s a pig’s paw marinated in soy sauce. “It’s a food enjoyed on special occasions.”
Yoo Seol lifted his nose with his index finger.
“Gulp pig?”
“haha. Yes, that’s right. Our Seol is good at imitating animals. Would you like to try it?”
“Cedar. “I feel sorry for the pig~”
“If you want to grow up, you have to eat well regardless of food. “What you ate last night was pork.”
“no. “Seol doesn’t eat pork.”
I laughed at the sight of the child acting foolishly.
Yu Jin-san lifted the child up and placed it on his shoulder.
Jo-son, who had been talking for a long time, arrived at the blacksmith shop after a while.
Under the signboard that says “Cheolya-bang (鐵冶房).” Eight shirtless blacksmiths were hammering anvils.
As soon as he pretended to be popular, the oldest-looking person put down his hammer and approached.
“I am Bangju Yangcheon. “What brought you here, old man?”
“I’m here to make a new spear handle.”
Jinsan Yu put down the child and held out Botjim’s Fire Dragon Spear to him.
Yangcheon, who was casually examining the spear blade, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
“This window…”
“Do you recognize it?”
“How could you not recognize a treasure created by the greatest master craftsman? I never thought the day would come when I would touch Jingyu’s work in my lifetime. “It feels like a dream.”
“It’s our family heirloom. “It’s called Hwaryong Shinchang.”
Yang Cheon was mesmerized as he examined the spear blade.
“I heard that all the weapons made by Jin-gyu have hidden powers. “Was there anything unusual?”
“hmm. The energy coming out through this window was red, not milky white. “The consumption of internal power is greater, but its power doubles when it eats herbivorously.”
“This is truly an amazing item… How can I make the sack?”
Replacing the hilt, which is a consumable part of a spear, is a common practice, and Jinsan Yu has also experienced it a few times.
“The material is the same as before, ebony wood, and the length is exactly one piece, including the blade.”
“I understand, old man. “We need to measure the blade of the spear to make the handle, so please wait a moment.”
“That’s right.”
After completing the task skillfully, Yang Chen returned the spear to Yu Jinsan.
“If you come back in five days, we will combine it with the sack we made.”
Nodding his head, Jinsan Yu packed the spear into his luggage and looked around the blacksmith shop. The purpose was to purchase a window to use temporarily.
After examining dozens of spears, he chose one with a length and weight similar to what was familiar to him.
“I’m going to buy a bag of this too. “How much is it all?”
“….”
For some reason, Yang Chen hesitated without answering. He looked like he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, as if he had seen something shocking.
At that moment, Yu Jin-san also noticed something and urgently looked around. This is because while I looked away for a moment, I could not see my granddaughter who was sitting next to me.
This is where Yangcheon’s eyes were directed. The child’s figure was found in the corner of the blacksmith shop.
“This is a myth.”
Isn’t this a short child holding a scimitar that is ten times his height?
It seemed to be an imitation made after the Blue Dragon and Moon Painting.
I couldn’t help but be shocked at the sight of the child carrying it with such strides as if it didn’t feel its weight.
Not only Yang Cheon but also the blacksmiths nearby had their mouths wide open and their eyes narrowed.
“How can this be…”
“How can it be that she weighs over 80 geun…”
Yu Jin-san scolded at the sight of his granddaughter approaching with an innocent smile.
“Grandpa said you shouldn’t touch other people’s things, right? “I guess I’ll get scolded today!”
The sudden shout made Yu Seol’s eyes water.
“Huh.”
It was heartbreaking to see the granddaughter hugging Chang and shedding tears, but I couldn’t just ignore it.
Jinsan Yu stretched out his hand and tried to snatch the scimitar. However, the spear in the child’s arms did not budge, like an old tree buried deep in the ground.
I tried adding more power, but it was the same.
Even though he looked weak on the outside, he was a flower that was said to be the state of a half-god.
When the granddaughter made up her mind and came out, there was no answer.
“Oh come on, let go of this!”
Yu Seol was hugging the window and shedding tears as if she was sad.
The artisans were busy watching with wide-eyed surprise as the grandfather and granddaughter played tug-of-war.
Jinsan Yu, who thought for a moment, sighed and gently put down the window. This was because they believed that if they made it more intense, the child might get hurt.
He bent his knees and looked at Yu Seol’s face with a gentle smile. Then he asked as if admonishing.
“Do you want that so much?”
“Yes…”
He wiped away the tears of the child who was crying and nodded.
“Then let’s ask them to make a new one. “With something better.”
“Is snow off?”
“then! Instead, it is a condition of practicing spearmanship with my grandfather.”
“I understand…”
Yu Jin-san’s heart was filled with joy at the sight of the child nodding his head without hesitation.
‘We can finally sharpen the Breath of the Wind Spear together!’
There was some commotion for a while, but I thought it was a good thing.
The secret story of the family that the granddaughter was the only one who showed no interest. It was an opportunity for us to practice the Killing Wind Spear together.
After receiving the scimitar from the child, he returned it to Yang Cheon and ordered one more item.
“It’s as thick as a finger joint. The length is half a sheet. Please make me a wooden spear in the shape of a club with a blunt end and no blade.”
“I understand, old man. “It’s not difficult.”
“Then I’ll come pick you up in five days. “How much does it all cost?”
“It’s three silver coins.”
After finishing the calculation, Yu Jin-san lifted his granddaughter and held her to his chest.
Yu Seol buried her face in her grandfather’s chest the entire time and was sobbing.
“Hmph.”
Are you hurt because of what happened a little while ago? Yu Jin-san, whose heart was heavy, patted the child’s back and comforted him.
“The gift will be complete in just five nights.”
“…really?”
“then! “When I get back, I’ll teach you a fun game to play.”
Seeing him nodding his head, it seemed like he didn’t dislike it.
His steps became lighter and he headed home after a month.
The backyard of the residence provided at Paedomun Gate.
Yu Jin-san, who was facing his granddaughter, turned his back and spoke.
“Now, take a look at your grandfather’s clothes.”
Yoo Seol, who was hesitating with a confused look on his face, tried to grab the hem of his grandfather’s pants with his cute hands.
At that moment, something amazing happened. Isn’t Eugenesan’s new model sliding to the left?
“…huh?”
Yoo Seol, who was shaking his head as if trying to catch the wind, turned his head.
Before I knew it, my grandfather was smiling kindly behind me.
“Hehehehe. “Try again.”
I tried a few more times but it was the same.
Although Yuseol was puzzled by the strange and incomprehensible phenomenon, he enjoyed playing tag with his grandfather for the first time, cackling as if he had never cried before.
Yu Jin-san, who had been repeating this for a while, quietly stopped walking and was held by the child.
“Oh no, you got caught!”
“Hi~”
He stroked Yu Seol’s head once and explained the technique he had just shown.
“What my grandfather just showed me is something called footwork. It’s a technique used to dazzle the opponent’s eyes and avoid attacks. Would you like to learn it?”
“huh!”
The sight of the child nodding his head as if urging me to do so made me smile.
The granddaughter had already mastered the leaping technique called Jeunjong, but this was her first time using a stepping technique that could be applied in combat.
What Yu Jin-san was trying to teach was the family technique, Seonpung Bobeop (仙風步法), which was named so because the appearance of the method when performing the Bobeop resembles a spirit moving like the wind.
The basics were solid and not difficult to learn, so it was perfect to pass on to children.
“The principle of footwork is to move the body instantaneously through the release of explosive energy. “You may not understand what they are talking about, but if you practice with your grandfather, you will understand at some point.”
“I understand.”
If the child’s will to learn is strong, the person teaching it will also be excited. The joy on his face did not leave his face as he explained the plot in an easy way.
Every time the step was shown repeatedly, the child clapped his hands and loved it.
It was while he was explaining things like that for a long time.
“Elder!”
A bald, shirtless warrior approached from beyond the fence, panting.
“Aren’t you Wang Chil?”
He was one of Baek Gyu’s closest associates and was a warrior with a quick attack. If he had returned from Macheonhoe, the work there would have been completed.
Moreover, seeing that he had a smile on his face, it seemed like things were going well.
“haha! It was just as the old man expected. “I heard there was an attack at the Macheonhoe-ro Sahyeolmun a little while ago.”
“result?”
“After Lord Mun subdued the leader of the raiding team, they were completely defeated without any significant damage. “Everyone was captured!”
“As expected, Baekgyu Auro. “It was a very good thing that we captured the enemies as much as possible without killing them.”
Compared to the political faction, isn’t the Sa faction overwhelmingly inferior in power?
If Hohyeon’s four factions were unified, there was a high possibility that the Murim Alliance’s check would become stronger, so it was right to maintain strength in preparation for future situations.
“It’s all thanks to the elders. “Soon, our Master Moon will move to Sahyeolmun Gate with Macheonhoe.”
“I guess so. And you came back to organize reinforcements.”
Wang Chil smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
“Yes, how do you know all that? Anyway, we all decided to join at Dongcheon Market.”
Yu Jin-san, a restaurant guest at Paedo-mun, could not help but watch the results.
“I understand. “I’ll go with you and see you at the entrance.”
“Yes sir!”
