Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter

Episode 111: A gentleman does not tell lies (2)

Now there was no choice.

Yu Jin-san put down his brush and turned his back for a moment.

What he took out of his pocket, blocking Sima Hyeon’s view, was a small lucky bag.

There were two letters written inside.

‘The thing that will be accomplished and the word spoken.’

There is no doubt that Man-ho wrote it down even after leaking Cheon-gi.

But which one should you choose between the two?

There was already less than half of the hourglass left, and the more I got there, the more impatient I became.

If you choose one of the two, the probability is half.

It was when his worries reached their peak.

– I think I know what it is.

Yu Seol was staring at himself with a confident face.

Jinsan Yu, after thinking for a moment, picked up the brush and handed it to his granddaughter.

Even if I was wrong, I felt like I wouldn’t have any regrets.

– Okay, Grandpa, I don’t know, so you take your pick.

After all, only Sima Hyun knows the answer.

Now I had no choice but to leave it to luck.

The granddaughter, holding a writing brush, slowly engraved a letter on a piece of paper.

‘What will happen?’

At that moment, Sima Hyun’s pupils, who were watching, wavered for a moment.

It seemed true that the writing had some meaning.

He watched silently and spoke softly.

“If you’ve decided on that, put down the brush.”

“I haven’t finished writing it yet.”

Yu Seol did not put down his brush. Instead, one more character was engraved in front of Irulseong (成).

Sigh-! Seuuuuu-!

It was just the word.

When the two were combined, the character Jeongseongseong (誠) was completed.

At that moment, Yu Jin-san’s face brightened and he clapped his hands together.

‘It’s sincerity. This is a meaning created from the sincerity of expressing words truthfully. For Sima Xuan, who absolutely hates lies, a true heart was the most important thing.’

He was famous for his personality of never telling a single lie in his life.

Sima Hyeon nodded repeatedly with a slightly surprised expression.

“Inherently, a human being must not lie and have a true heart. So I wanted to test you. “Because I couldn’t help those who weren’t human learn the magic of saving time.”

What he meant was that he had passed the test.

Yu Seol asked with a bright expression.

“Then are you going to decipher our military secret level now?”

“Yes, within the time given to you, as initially promised. But I don’t know to what extent it will be possible until the hourglass ends.”

That meant that translation would stop when the hourglass ended.

It was absurd, but if you think about it, it wasn’t wrong. The time he promised was until all the sand fell.

Are they trying to test themselves again?

I had no idea it would come out so shamefully.

‘I’ve already wasted more than ten days here. There is no answer as it is.’

I had to find another way.

Eugene-san, who became impatient, glanced at the hourglass.

The amount of sand remaining was no more than a fingernail. Time is almost over.

At that moment, Jinsan Yu’s pupils widened.

‘no way?’

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the sand had stopped and was not falling.

After a while, doesn’t the sand flow backwards from the bottom to the top?

When I looked to the side, I saw Yu Seol gently extending one hand.

There was no need to ask what was happening.

It was a skill that he could not even imitate.

“There’s plenty of time now, Grandpa.”

After finishing speaking, Yu Seol melted the passage of the hourglass with his inner energy and blocked it. So that no more sand falls.

“….”

Sima Xuan looked speechless with an absurd expression on his face.

At that time, Yu Jin-san nodded his head once as if he had done a good job to his granddaughter.

Afterwards, he spoke cautiously to Sima Xuan again.

“I heard that you have never told a lie in your life. And I’ve never gone back on what I said.”

It was not Sima Hyeon who did not know the meaning behind those words.

Didn’t they say that they would give it their time until the hourglass runs out?

He had never imagined that oil could clog the sand like that.

Sima Xuan, who had a dazed expression on his face, came to his senses and burst into laughter.

“Hehe, I took a hit on this one. Even though he had such strong martial skills, he just sat and waited for days and days? “He has wisdom, humanity, and humility, so there is no reason not to help him.”

“thank you so much.”

It also meant that there would be no more testing.

Sima Xuan was handed the stash again and looked at it in earnest.

“Let’s see.” “He is a god of immortality….”

* * *

Yu Jin-san and his granddaughter stayed together in a thatched house in Sima County.

This is because he allowed me to stay by his side until he finished the work.

In a way, it was natural. Because I couldn’t leave the place while entrusting my precious money to him.

Jinsan Yu helped with the garden work, and Yuseol watched him from inside.

Two days had passed like that.

“I am not a person who knows martial arts, but the more I decipher it, the more powerful I feel.”

“What power?”

“It is written here how to break free from human limitations and reach the state of Buddha. There are many constraints, but if you can learn them, you will gain the power to move the world.”

“Wow…”

Yu Xue opened his mouth in delight, but the worry on Sima Xuan’s face did not go away.

“I don’t know if it’s right to decipher this for you like this.”

“why?”

“What if you have an evil heart and dye the world with blood? “What do you plan to do by learning this martial art?”

Yu Seol clenched his chestnut-like fists with a serious face.

“We will protect our grandfather and show justice to the world.”

Sima Hyeon took a deep breath at the unexpected answer.

If someone I didn’t know heard this, they would have burst out laughing.

After compiling his thoughts for a moment, he stared at Yu Seol’s face.

The innocent, unspoiled face of a child. And there seemed to be no selfishness or lies in his clear eyes.

Eventually, Sima Xuan, who had made up his mind, nodded vigorously.

“Last night in my dream, I saw a small star shining dazzlingly under the energy of the moonlight. It seems that it was fate, not simple fate, that brought to me the arrangement of the Xuan Xuan Magistrate. “I will do my best to help you.”

Even without that, I was a child who was anxious on the inside.

With her worries resolved, Yu Seol hugged him around the waist.

“Thank you, grandfather.”

“haha. “Then, let’s take a look at what we’ve deciphered so far.”

“yes.”

Sima Hyeon unfolded the translated papers and explained them in an easy-to-understand manner.

“Humans inherently have five senses: eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nasal consciousness, tongue consciousness, and body consciousness. This is called the pre-five consciousness.”

“You mean the five senses?”

“Yes, you know very well. Those who master this can open their consciousness, which is the sense of the mind, and reach the state of being mindful of all things. In Murim, this state where everything connects with the heart…”

“Hwagyeong!”

Sima Xuan nodded with a faint smile.

“Yes, that’s right. Looks like you’ve already reached this point. If the 6th consciousness is consciousness, then the 7th consciousness is the final consciousness. At this stage, you can control your mental consciousness in the universe. “You can see without looking, and you can hear without listening.”

“Then you can taste it even if you don’t eat it?”

“hmm. I don’t know that much, but that’s the case at this level. In short, it is a state that has achieved the pinnacle of harmony.”

“Then is there a next step?”

Sima Xuan nodded and picked up another piece of paper.

“The final stage, the 8th consciousness, is the Araya consciousness, a subconscious mind hidden deeper than the Malnasa consciousness. When this sense is opened, one can master the fundamental nature of all things and reach the greatest state that the human mind can reach, the Hyeonjyang.”

“Hyeon-kyung?”

“okay. In this Unwritten Sasingyong, the salvation and training methods leading to the 8th consciousness are written. “If you can learn this martial art, you will reach that level.”

“…Wow. But is there anything after that?”

Sima Xuan looked a little embarrassed and picked up the bottom piece of paper.

“Although it is theoretical, there is a slim chance that the 9th Consciousness, Tathagata Consciousness, will awaken when the Buddha’s power reaches its peak. “It is a state where you yourself become a Buddha.”

“I want to train quickly and become a Buddha.”

Sima Hyeon stroked the child’s head with a kind smile.

“Okay, Grandpa will help you from now on. Even though I am not a martial arts expert, I can help you easily solve the problem. The goal is the eighth consciousness, Araya consciousness, or Hyeongyeong.”

Fifteen days have already passed since I stayed at Sima Xuan’s residence.

Yu Seol stayed by his side and invested all her time in understanding the fate of the big class.

It was also a necessary task before full-scale training. The higher your understanding, the shorter the training period will be.

And Eugene-san was digging up vegetables in the garden today as well.

“Oh my gosh, this guy’s personality doesn’t change. “You treat an old man like this.”

They did not bother to hide their identities during their stay.

I told the whole story truthfully, but not much changed.

“Please throw it, old man!”

Sima County’s blunt guard was shouting from the roof.

It will be about taking care of things that have been postponed for a while.

Eugene San picked up the hammer that was rolling on the floor and threw it away.

“Yepda!”

Whirring!

The hammer landed exactly in his grasp, as if it had wings.

Up!

Jin-san Yu did not even pay attention and focused on digging up vegetables again.

“If it wasn’t for feeding my babies, I would completely dig it up.”

There was no way it would be easy to work the fields with hands like ferns.

Even though his mouth was constantly grumbling, his hands were full of sincerity.

Is there anything I wouldn’t do for my granddaughter’s future? While I was here, someone had to help me with my work.

After finishing the field work, he went into the kitchen and skillfully washed the herbs and vegetables.

“The best taste comes from nature. “Today, we will be using our family’s secret recipe, so it will be amazing.”

Yu Jin-san, who was showing off his skills in the kitchen, hummed.

After frying the vegetables in oil and spices and boiling the tofu, the food was ready in an instant.

When the preparations were complete, he took the table and went out to the floor.

A middle-aged man who was repairing the roof praised the fragrant smell.

“That’s amazing, old man. “It smells great.”

“Of course, someone made it. “Hurry and bring them here.”

After a while, the four of them sat with their heads together and raised their chopsticks as usual.

Sima Xuan was smiling differently than usual.

“Today is the last day. “It’s also nice to taste the deep cuisine that comes from such skilled hands.”

“…Surely the secret detoxification has been completed?”

Eugene San, who was quick-witted, was confident that the time had finally come.

The answer came from Yoo Seol, who was next to him.

“Yes, it’s all over. From now on, you can learn the Unwritten Four Gods Skills.”

Yu Jinsan continued to dominate Sima County.

“Thank you. “I don’t know how to repay this favor…”

“There’s nothing to worry about. I just did what I had to do according to Heaven’s will. “Maybe I’ve been cultivating my studies just for this day.”

For some reason, Yu Jin-san’s heart was pounding.

If she can learn this ageless magic, her granddaughter may be able to take on the position of supreme leader of the martial arts world.

As the sad events of the past passed by like a flash, my eyes became red.

“I owe you a lot. If you need our help with anything, just let us know.”

“What need does an old man who has left this world need? Have you thought about a place to practice?”

“As for the location…”

Sima Xuan answered, slowly looking around at the surrounding scenery.

“In order to complete the Bulmun Sasin Gong, you must fall into a trance in a place without anyone’s interference. “There happens to be a suitable cave on the mountain behind this one.”

There was no reason to refuse.

How easy would it be to find a place to practice closing the pipes?

But the thought of having to be away from my granddaughter for a while bothered me the whole time.

“How long will it take?”

“It is unpredictable because it is a process of attaining enlightenment through discipline and discipline. It may only take a few days, and no matter how hard you try, it may not be possible.”

Eugene San made eye contact with his granddaughter for a moment.

He was a child who naturally enjoyed the process of becoming stronger through discipline.

A deep will was burning in Yu Seol’s eyes, as if he had already made up his mind.

“Don’t worry, grandpa. I’ll be back soon.”
