Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 110

Episode 110: A gentleman does not tell lies (1)

Yu Jin-san and his granddaughter were holding each other’s hands as they set out on the road again.

They looked like good siblings.

“baby. What do you think of the man Manho you met earlier?”

“He’s a good person.”

Yu Seol was nodding his head with a firm expression.

Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene, burst out laughing.

“You said he seemed like a bad person when you first saw him?”

At that moment, the granddaughter’s eyes filled with strength.

“That’s because you opened your eyes so horribly and set fire to someone else’s house. But if I had caught him and hit him, I would have been in big trouble.”

“okay. If we hadn’t taken action, we could have made the wronged people feel even more wronged. “To become a great person, you have to see what others cannot see.”

“Like grandpa?”

“OK. No matter how powerful you are, if your vision is narrow, you cannot walk the right path. “You know what grandpa means, right?”

“huh. “I will definitely become a big person.”

Is it because he taught his granddaughter a long-awaited lesson? Jinsan Yu’s heart also warmed.

Their steps, carried by the refreshing spring breeze, were as light as if they were flying.

Sijin wants to speed up in earnest.

Before we knew it, we were reaching our destination.

Quite a few things had happened since leaving Hanam, but everything seemed to have passed in a flash.

Jin-san Yu, who stopped his guard, took a breath and said.

“If we go a little further, we’ll be able to meet the person we’re looking for.”

The two were walking slowly along a path on the outskirts of a deserted village.

According to the information, Sima Xuan’s residence should be at the end of this road.

“What kind of person is that guy?”

“Grandpa, I don’t know either. But it is clear that he is not an easy person.”

“Why? “Are you good at fighting?”

“If it’s a problem that can be solved by force, then what is there to worry about? “Our Seol is next to us.”

“then?”

There was no reason to hide it.

Jinsan Yu told the truth about his concerns.

“He used to be the most famous scholar in Sichuan, but now that he is out of the world, he doesn’t meet people easily. In addition, he hates lies and is as stubborn as an ox, so he is nicknamed Sima Wu.”

“…Then what if you don’t want to decipher my martial arts level?”

“Grandpa, I don’t have the confidence to win a fight with him. Still, there must be a way. Let’s clash for now.”

Before I knew it, a quiet thatched house surrounded by a low wooden fence appeared in front of me.

For a renowned scholar’s residence, it looked very frugal.

At the entrance, a middle-aged man wearing a jangsam was sweeping the front yard.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-! Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

Moderate movement. And the path the broom took was as unusual as a sword road.

Even at a glance, it was clear that he had learned martial arts.

He was probably a guard warrior from Sima County.

“…Is the wise man inside now?”

For those who practice learning, wise man (賢人) was the highest honorific title.

Jinsan Yu spoke politely, but all he got back was silence.

The warrior just moved the broom in silence without even looking at him.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-! Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!

I can’t believe I was ignored from the beginning.

I wanted to grab it by force, but trying to solve it with force could have the opposite effect. Since he is a stubborn person, he will not give in to any threats.

While Jinsan Yu was thinking about a method, his granddaughter stepped forward.

“mister. “The yard is clean, so why do you keep sweeping it?”

When I looked closely, I saw that he was constantly sweeping the floor, which had not a single leaf on it.

One cannot help but be puzzled by his behavior, which he repeats over and over again, as if he has lost his mind.

As expected, there was no answer.

Eugene San, who has a lot of life experience, whispered to his granddaughter what he had picked up from somewhere.

“Everything in the world is not what it seems. “It seems like he’s probably sweeping his mind.”

“Your heart?”

“huh. “When the mind is clean, anguish and distracting thoughts disappear, the mind becomes parallel, and the effects of true practice can be achieved.”

Was it because of Eugene San’s muttering? Suddenly, his movements stopped.

“They are not ordinary kids. “The old man is busy, so please go back today.”

It was his own gain that made him open his mouth, but the results were not very satisfactory.

Since the order to celebrate guests had gone out, it was impossible to just use a large number of people.

“Well sir.”

He had no choice but to turn away with his shoulders slumped.

I never thought even getting through the gatekeeper would be this difficult.

It was a time when my worries were deepening.

“Cheer up, grandpa. “I’m busy today, so we can meet again tomorrow.”

“no. “If you see me coming out there, it will be the same tomorrow.”

“Then what should I do?”

Yu Jin-san looked at the distant sky and answered softly.

“There is a saying, ‘Three highs and lows.’ It is said that Liu Bei also visited Zhuge Liang three times and begged him to win his heart. “If you keep visiting me like this and show me your sincerity, won’t you meet me even if it’s an inconvenience?”

For now, I was going to keep trying. There is no other way anyway.

At that time, my granddaughter asked with an interested expression.

“But who is Yubi?”

“If you think about it, he is also the ancestor of our family. “Oh, now that I think about it, there’s no need for Grandpa to tell me.”

“Yes? “Then who should you ask?”

“Ask the man stroking his beard behind you right now. “Because he is his sworn brother.”

Yuseol glanced back at her grandfather’s joke, but only the wind blew.

“Hmph.”

Jinsan Yu smiled silently for a long time.

These days, teasing his granddaughter was his only pleasure.

“good night. Let’s get a room first. “Let me go and tell my grandfather the story of the three loyal brothers of Shu.”

“really? It’s gonna be fun. Let’s go quickly, grandpa.”

So Joson stayed for a day at a guest house in a nearby village.

* * *

The next morning.

The two visited Sima Xuan’s residence again with light steps.

As expected, he did not meet me that day either.

The next day too. And it was the same the next day.

As time passed without any results, cracks began to appear in the grandson’s patience.

“Wasn’t it three times to try and try? “We are already in our sixth year.”

“I guess it won’t work. Grandfather, I will go alone today. “I have to settle the score this time.”

“No, I’m going with you.”

The grandfather and granddaughter were already identical in body and mind.

Whenever a difficult situation arises, haven’t the two always worked together to overcome the difficulties? I had no intention of stopping Yu Jin-san if he wanted to follow me.

Joson took a solemn step and visited the thatched house again.

“Do you have time today?”

The reaction of the guy guarding the entrance was as expected.

“The old man is a little busy, so please go back today.”

The answer is no different from yesterday.

But now even Yujinsan could not retreat.

“Then I’ll wait here. Please tell me when you’re done with your busy business.”

“….”

He, who was sweeping the yard, didn’t even respond.

Like that, Jinsan Yu and Seol Yu sat cross-legged next to each other.

It was like an eternity of boring time.

– Why did you follow me? I said I’m coming alone.

I told this because I was worried about my granddaughter who had not even moved for a long time.

Yu Seol, who received the message from his grandfather, answered with his eyes closed.

-Grandpa, you’re bored.

– I don’t know how long it will take. If you’re having a hard time, you can go back first.

– no. I can stay in this position for ten days.

Yu Seol’s concentration was already beyond the scope of humans. If you put your mind to it, you could last indefinitely, not just for ten days.

Rather, the problem was Mt. Yujin.

It is not easy to sit still with an alert mind.

Time would pass quickly if I had a good luck breakfast, but I couldn’t do that in this unsafe place. Wouldn’t it be great if it were a state where one could freely control one’s luck, energy, and performance, as Yuseol said?

Jinsan Yu looked at his granddaughter, who was in a trance, with envious eyes.

‘Grandpa, try your best to hold on.’

Yujinsan left his heart to the wind with the mind of a monk meditating.

Even the next day. And the next day, Grandson didn’t even move.

From the third day onwards, the expression on the guard’s face while sweeping the yard changed. This is because children have passed a period that they themselves cannot endure.

And on the fourth day.

Yu Jin-san felt the man approaching closely and looking at them.

‘He’s not dead yet, you idiot.’

He came from time to time to check whether they were dead or alive.

It was the fifth day like that.

“The old man says he has some time left. “He always keeps his word, so you’d better hurry.”

I can’t believe I invested more than ten days and had to finish the task in just one minute.

It was a matter of having a tantrum, but there was no time to complain.

“It is now. “Stand up, Seol-ah.”

Yu Jin-san first relaxed his stiffened body. No matter how much I thought about it, it was something I couldn’t do twice.

At that time, my granddaughter stood up and stretched with sleepy eyes.

“Haam. “Do you want us to come in?”

Was it because I cultivated myself in the flow of the universe? Yu Seol seemed to have no idea how much time had passed.

Moreover, unlike his haggard appearance, his complexion had improved.

Yu Jin-san took the lead, shaking his head excitedly.

“Okay, let’s go in.”

Sigh-!

The guard opened the door to the thatched hut and stepped back.

Inside, an old man was seen frantically moving his brush.

What was surprising was how incredibly fast it was.

His brush was full of life, like a fish swimming in water.

Percussion-!

Sima Xuan put down his brush and turned his head toward the entrance.

Eugene San, seeing his face for the first time, was shocked. This is because I could feel the spirit of an absolute expert in his eyes.

One thing is certain: he did not learn martial arts.

How can this kind of appearance come from the appearance of an ordinary person? I was curious about how much learning and enlightenment it would take to achieve this.

Breaking the awkward silence, Yoo Seol spoke first.

“Hello, grandfather.”

At that time, Sima Xuan turned over the small hourglass on the table and said.

“okay. I will give you my time until all this sand falls. “For what reason did you ask to see Nobu?”

Yu Jin-san took out and handed over the secret gift of the Unknown Lion God that he had prepared in advance.

“Are you able to decipher this book? “It is an ancient Sanskrit language.”

Sima Hyeon, who was looking through the books, made an expression that said something was out of the ordinary.

“Seon Hyeon is an unparalleled skill that was stolen from Heaven… He is not a person who has practiced my martial arts skills, but he looks unusual. “How did you get this?”

“I just had a connection at Songshan.”

He handed back the key he had been looking at and said.

“Deciphering this is not difficult for me. But that one action will have an impact on the world. “If you have an evil heart, who will bear the disaster?”

Eugene San took a quick look at the hourglass.

Time was passing quickly and there was no time to think long.

“We are not good people. But I have never done anything that goes against humanity and righteousness.”

At that moment, a smile appeared on Sima Xuan’s face for the first time.

“If they tried to lie about it, I was going to reject it right away. “I like your answer, so I’ll give you one chance.”

“…?”

A pen and a piece of paper were held out in front of the confused Yu Jin-san.

“Write the most important letter in the world there.”

Having to choose just one out of tens of thousands of Chinese characters?

Eugene San’s mind became complicated.

There is only one chance.

Moreover, he said that he never goes back on what he says. That meant that if you wrote down the wrong answer, that was it.

‘The most important letter. I guess that depends on the person interpreting it, right? Are you saying that you can only help if your values are the same as yours? What an absurd case…’

The wrist that was clutching the brush had no way of moving.

Before I knew it, the hourglass was approaching half way.

‘Scholars usually say that people are the most important thing. Then, people? hmm. No, in order to become a human being, you must first know morality. In that case, wouldn’t the Tao… or love, the loving heart, be more important than that? No, it can’t be this easy.’

As I continued talking, there was no end to it.

I felt like I wanted to break the writing brush.

At that moment, he heard his granddaughter chattering in his head.

– Open the pocket that Grandpa Manho gave you.
