Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 342
Episode 342: Talk to your sister (2)
Yu Seol quietly listened to the younger monk’s story.
The reason is that he was bullied by young monks his age.
“The classmates you entered with hit you?”
“Yes…”
Recently, there were hundreds of young disciples who had newly entered Shaolin.
As children meeting for the first time, it was only natural for them to show off their strength and organize their ranks.
In the process, small and helpless children like the child monk in front of us are bound to become victims.
“Then we have to fight back. “Why were you beaten so quietly?”
“Everyone is taller and stronger than me.”
Yu Seol reminded me of the windbreaker who left for heaven on the sullen face of the monk.
This is because the round head and pitiful expression were somewhat similar.
Maybe that’s why I didn’t want to just pass by.
“how old are you.”
“I’m eight years old.”
“What are your parents doing?”
“They all passed away. Hehehe….”
Yoo Seol, who had been inquiring, looked at the younger monk with pitiful eyes.
“Then how did you get here?”
“I was begging in the village and a monk brought me here.”
Usually, children of lay disciples become initiated through examination, but such cases also exist occasionally.
It was a very fortunate case.
“First, show your sister what you’ve learned so far. Let’s see what qualities you have.”
The monk, who had been hesitating, soon took up a horseback riding stance.
The first basic martial art that beginners learn was Yukhequan.
The sight of him waving his arms and throwing out his fists couldn’t help but be clumsy.
After a while I had to hold back my laughter at the ridiculousness.
“Hey!”
The monk who was practicing herbal medicine got his legs twisted and fell.
Twisted-!
Yu Seol held her belly button as if she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Fuhihihi!”
The monk sat down on the floor and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
It seemed sad that he was being teased instead of comforted.
“Okay.”
“Crybaby~ What is your name?”
“Here, you must only call me by my legal name. “I’m Hongji.”
“Hongji? “Okay, come closer to your sister.”
When Yoo Seol lifted his finger, Hongji was dragged away, swaying against her will.
“…Huh?”
Hongji, drawn by the invisible flow of energy, was grabbed by the wrist by Yu Seol.
“Is there something strange about you? The blood vessels are narrower than those of normal people. Therefore, breathing is lacking and herbivory does not continue properly.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
Yu Seol, who had finished taking the pulse, spoke with a dark face.
“I heard it from my grandfather. “I think it’s arrhythmia?”
Arthrolepsy. It is an incurable disease in which people are born with strong yin energy, but because of this, their Qi and blood are blocked, causing them to suffer from anxiety and live a short life.
“Are you suffering from arrhythmia? “Then what happens to me?”
“My grandfather says he will die within ten years.”
Hongji was startled and her face turned pale.
“Well then, there isn’t much left now, right?”
After thinking for a moment, Yoo Seol opened his eyes and asked.
“Do you want to live? “My sister can treat you, but it will hurt a bit.”
“Yes… I don’t want to die like this.”
“Okay then. “Are you mentally prepared?”
Hongji, who was nodding his head, suddenly floated into the air.
“Huh!?”
The rumor was floated using the method of empty space.
It didn’t stop there, and the new model started spinning sideways. Like a top losing strength.
At that moment, Yoo Seol’s hands began to move ceaselessly and shoot out martial arts.
Kuk-kung-! Kukukukung-!!
Hundreds of strands of true energy emanating from her fingers continuously pounded Hongji’s entire body.
Chugunggwahyeol (推宮過穴). The task was to forcibly open the blocked blood vessels and stimulate the muscles to expand the blood vessels.
Only those who have reached the level of inner strength can do it, and it is a blessing that most people do not do well because it requires extreme mental strength.
“Ahh!!”
Hongji was trembling in pain, but Chugungwahyeol couldn’t stop midway.
However, because the caster’s skill was so good, the work did not take long.
After the commotion was over.
Hongji’s new form slowly descended to the ground.
Yu Seol’s complexion looked a little haggard, perhaps because she had exhausted all her energy in an instant, but she smiled and asked as if she didn’t care.
“how is it? “It doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?”
“yes. “My body feels really lighter, sister!”
It had to be that way because the Qi and blood were exhausted and new internal energy was created in the Danjeon.
It was as if the path had been opened for him to grow into an absolute expert depending on his efforts in the future.
It was truly a windfall.
“Now try again what you did earlier.”
After Hongji took his stance, he started to unfold Yukhapquan again.
However, the level of power was different from before.
Boom-! Boom-!
His fists were full of spirit, and his light movements were like feathers.
Moreover, isn’t the connection between herbivory flowing like a river?
He was reborn as a promising child with natural qualities from a cursed constitution called arrhythmia.
After finishing the demonstration, Hongji was so moved that she had tears in her eyes.
“Wow…. Thank you so much, sister.”
Not only did he meet the best martial artist named Eum-goe and save his life, but he also gained the greatest talent. Of course it has to be good.
Yu Seol nodded with a satisfied face and grabbed the back of Hong Ji’s head with her palm.
“Now then, let’s go get revenge.”
What kind of revenge is revenge? Hongji, who hadn’t even thought about it, looked embarrassed as he was dragged away.
“yes? “Noona, what’s wrong with you?”
“I heard the kids are bullying you. If you stay still, you will become a sack. “Everyone is in the training center, right?”
“yes. That’s right, but…”
I already knew the entire structure of the temple.
A dedicated training center for newly enrolled children will be located near the entrance.
The rumor caught my ear as if it was fun just imagining it.
“Why are you smiling, sister?”
“Nothing. “Are you ready to fight?”
A look of anxiety was still evident on Hongji’s face.
“You want to fight? “They move around in groups of three.”
“Are you scared without even trying? Was Hongji a coward?”
“That’s not true, but…”
Yoo Seol sighed and said as if he was frustrated.
“Look carefully. Just like your older sister, say it with your eyes focused. “I want you to know that if you bother me in the future, you will be beaten up.”
“….”
Hongji lowered his head without answering.
Regardless, Yu Seol took Hong Ji with him and moved towards Suyeon-dong.
After a while, we arrived at our destination and saw about a hundred children mixed together in a wide open space.
It seemed like training had just finished.
Most of the children were either scattered somewhere or gathered in groups of twos or threes to chat.
“Where are they?”
“Over there…”
The target was easy to find.
Because there were three people who were unusually large among their peers.
They seemed to be snooping around here and there, arguing. As if they were trying to show off that they were the highest ranking among their classmates.
“Go ahead. “Go and do as your sister tells you.”
Hongji, who had been pushed on his back, hesitantly walked towards them.
His shoulders looked slumped.
The size difference was so great that it seemed intimidating just to look at them.
“You guys…”
The three children looked at Hongji with strange eyes.
“What are you. “I told you not to stand out.”
“You sure didn’t tell us that you got hit by us?”
“….”
As Hongji, who was scared, avoided his gaze, the children’s faces were full of playfulness.
“It just worked out well. Just stand still there. “I’m going to try out the crow fighting technique I developed today.”
As one person took his stance, another person laughed, stretched his arms to the left and right, and shouted.
“I am Monkey Fighting!”
“Don’t do this. “I came to warn you.”
The children laughed for a while and then looked around.
After confirming that there were no masters nearby, he started using animal fighting techniques towards Hongji.
“Squeak! Squeak! “Keek!”
Tootak-! widely-! Tatak-!
“Ahh!”
One person attacked Hongji first in a comical pose.
And that was just the beginning.
As if taking turns, another person stepped forward, imitating a monkey.
“Hoy! Hoy!!”
Tuk-! Wow! Ta-ta-tak-!!
It was not the martial arts of Shaolin Temple. They are just playing tricks on weak prey.
“Stop that.”
“Why should I stop? “We decide that.”
The three took turns harassing Hongji for a while and then turned their backs. Now the interest has cooled.
“no way. Not funny.”
“Let’s go get something to eat!”
But the three had no choice but to stop walking again.
Just-! Tadak-!!
Something flew in and hit the three of them in the back of the head at the same time.
“You bastard.”
“Hongji, you’re crazy. “How dare you hit me in the back?”
“This is absurd.”
Hongji was embarrassed and looked around. Because he never hit himself in the back.
But there was no one around and there was no way to explain.
At that time, Hongji caught the sight of Eumgoe bursting into laughter from afar.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what was happening.
Hongji, whose mind was pale, did not know what to do. Even though one person is rushing to attack him.
– power!
Hongji was startled by the evil cry that rang in his head and reflexively threw his fist out.
Wow-!!
At that moment, something amazing happened.
Didn’t the child who was running towards Hongji fall and groan?
Unbelievably, he was knocked out in just one hit.
“Ahh!”
At that time, the other two people hesitated with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Yu Seol’s next command followed to Hongji.
– It’s no big deal, right? Fight! You can do it, Hongji!
At that moment, Hongji’s eyes changed.
Suddenly, an unknown anger welled up deep in my heart.
“profit!”
Children of the same age were unable to keep up with Hongji’s movements due to his exhausted energy and blood.
Because I don’t know how to use my internal power yet, it doesn’t have the proper power, but it was more than enough to defeat my peers.
Took-! Wow! Wow-!!
“Ugh!”
“Kwaaah.”
“Oh, it hurts…”
Hongji, who had knocked down the three in an instant, was dumbfounded.
‘Did I win?’
Each and every one of them was stronger and a head taller than he was.
Hongji felt an unknown shiver for the first time in her life.
It was about that time when I was looking down blankly.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind me.
“I watched everything from the beginning. “How could you endure it even though you had strength?”
Hongji looked back and was startled.
This was because a monk wearing bandages was looking down at him.
There was no way I knew who it was.
Excluding Monk Bangjang, it was Master Hyegwang who was the greatest expert of Shaolin Temple.
“I’m sorry.”
He was a person whose distribution to his fellow monks was as different as that of heaven and earth.
It was a being that I could not even dare to make eye contact with.
Everyone around, including the children who had fallen, straightened their posture and bowed their heads with their hands joined together.
“What did you say you were sorry for?”
“For hitting my friends…”
Hye-gwang looked at Hong-ji’s face for a moment and said with a kind smile.
“You are truly sorry. However, enduring injustice is not the answer.”
“I will keep this in mind…”
“Follow me. “You are naturally merciful and your qualifications are excellent, so I should take you as my disciple.”
“Me?”
“OK. Even so, I was lonely because I lost all of my students not long ago. “The Buddha showed me mercy and allowed me to meet you.”
It was truly an unconventional proposal.
All the monks looked at Hongji with envy.
They were young chicks whose direct masters had not yet been determined.
Your future path will vary depending on which master you meet.
Becoming a disciple of Hye-gwang among others means a rapid rise in status as the distribution goes up several levels.
Where is that? Since he would inherit his progress, he would become Shaolin Temple’s top prospect.
At that time, Hye-gwang, who was walking while holding Hong-ji’s hand, asked softly.
“But what is your relationship with the Great Covenant Association? “He said he wanted to help you.”
“I know this sister.”
“haha. I envy someone who can call him that. “You have the best connections in the world, so you are starting with the best assets.”
“Hehe….”
“Let’s go to my residence first. “I think we will have a lot to do together in the future.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Yu Seol, who had come out of the training center, was holding her belly button and laughing.
“Fuhihi. “It’s fun~”
He looked like he had a great day today.
After laughing for a while, I headed towards the guesthouse. Because it was almost time for Grandpa to return.
The grandfather continued training with Jeonghye all day from the morning, and at sunset, they came to the guesthouse and ate together.
While I was walking down the street, I came across a middle-aged monk in front.
But there was something strange about his behavior.
When our eyes met, he seemed anxious and avoided our gaze.
‘Why do you do that?’
It was as if he thought he was in danger and turned his head away.
It wasn’t just a rumor to be ignored.
That was when the distance became as close as one foot.
“Ugh!!”
The monk was startled and shouted at the sudden shout.
“What a surprise!”
I couldn’t help but find that sight funny.
Yu Seol grabbed her belly button again and moved past him.
“Hehehe.”
After a while.
Suddenly, I heard him sobbing from behind me.
“Ugh. Hehehe. “It’s ruined… everything’s ruined because of the obscenity…”
When I turned around, I saw him kneeling on the floor and sobbing.
He also looked like he was crying sadly, covered in tears and snot.
“Why are you crying?”
“Ok… there is only one day left of ten years of silent meditation. “With just one day left, it’s because of you…”
Silent meditation is a Zen method that involves not speaking for a set period of time.
Yoo Seol seemed astonished and went to confront him.
“That’s because the monk lacks training. “Why are you doing this to me?”
“You surprised me. “Knock…”
“Do you know why people have mouths on their faces? Heaven created us to speak and live. “There is nothing wrong with people speaking.”
“Keuheuheu.”
As he couldn’t stop crying, Yoo Seol felt sorry for some reason.
He walked up to him and patted his back.
“Stop!” Do not cry. Instead, I will compensate you.”
“How can I compensate you when my practice has already been in vain?”
After thinking for a moment, Yu Seol asked quietly.
“Do you want to eat something? “Would you like me to make something delicious for you?”
Even the monks were already familiar with Eum-gae’s cooking skills. Because it was very famous in the temple.
He suddenly shook his head as if there was no need to think.
“Are you trying to kill Hinayana a second time? “Please compensate me with something else.”
“all right. “Come on, tell me.”
First, the monk took a deep breath to relieve his anger.
Then he passed the prayer beads around and spoke softly.
“I know very well that you are the benefactor who saved Shaolin. But you’re wandering around the temple every day and causing trouble. That’s why…”
