Ho Cheon-an let out a long sigh.

“Have you guys forgotten what I’m doing?”

It would not be easy for a child’s body to endure even a long journey, but the journey is a road where fights occur like eating a meal while dealing with the most dangerous people in this martial forest.

But how can you go on a trip with your child in such a situation?

Moreover, Navin’s body was weak due to severe veins.

“Are you not confident in seeing your child? That guy named Seogong seems very smart, and there are a lot of ghosts.”

“No, it’s not that kind of problem.”

Jeongsam burst out laughing.

“Then what should Navin do? I have no intention of abandoning the child I once had, but how should the two of us handle a child suffering from arrhythmia?”

Ho Cheon-an was speechless.

In order to completely cure arrhythmia, the body’s constitution must be completely reformed, so hard work is required, as well as numerous elixirs and secrets.

It was impossible for Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang to handle all that.

“If I check on you regularly…”

“Can you really afford it?”

Ho Cheon-an was once again speechless. Jeongsam clicked his tongue as he looked at Ho Cheon-an, who was speechless. Has he still not been able to heal the wounds of losing his colleagues?

“I know that I am ignorant. Are you saying that children suffering from arrhythmia have excellent qualities? It may take a bit of work, but a bright kid like Navin would be perfect to make as a disciple.”

“Do you think you will correct yourself for the rest of your life? In the end, even a martial arts expert’s body will eventually decline. How reassuring would it be if you raised a disciple to help you at that time?”

When Ho Cheon-an did not answer, Jeong-sam nodded as if he understood.

“Yes. Even from your point of view, it would be sudden. Think about it carefully.”

Ho Cheon-an’s feelings became complicated.

*** ***

Young children’s interest tends to fade quickly.

After playing with Seogong enough, the children left Seogong’s side to play other games, but Navin continued to stick by Seogong’s side.

Ho Cheon-an looked at that figure.

What should I do with that child?

It was impossible to leave a child with a heart attack alone, but it was also impossible to take him away.

Ho Cheon-an, who was groaning, got up.

This was because I realized that whether I collected it or not, I needed to check Naveen’s physical condition.

“Yes. Do you like Seogong?”

“The fur is soft.”

Squeak.

Ho Cheon-an laughed as he watched Seo-gong answer calmly while Navin’s hand was limp.

Seeing that he already gets along well with Seogong, it seems like he will get along well with Yeongmul as well…

‘What are you thinking?’

Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly and shook off the thoughts in his head.

“Can I take your pulse for a moment?”

Wariness appeared on Naveen’s face. Navin, with his hands clenched, stuttered and spoke.

“Well, I’m healthy…!”

Hocheonan read the fear in Navin’s eyes.

Are they thinking that if they are found to be sick, they will be kicked out?

Ho Cheon-an, whose thoughts went that far, soon changed his method.

“Hehe. Since you’re healthy, there’s no need to check your pulse. I just wanted to express my gratitude for playing well with Seogong.”

Squeak.

Ho Cheon-an stroked Navin’s head, ignoring Seo-gong’s protest that he was just playing with her. Navin looked at Hocheonan with wary eyes, but he seemed to know that he couldn’t refuse even this.

Meanwhile, Ho Cheon-an stroked Navin’s head and massaged Navin’s body.

‘Samum…is it?’

Trisyllabic vein.

Ho Cheon-an sighed inwardly at the results of the pulse. Whether it’s a single sound, a triple sound, or a globular sound… the speed of progression is different, but the symptoms of arrhythmia are all very different. Eventually, the swollen negative energy blocks the veins, which causes the body to weaken and die.

If it is a single sound, it can be overcome by diligently practicing appropriate inner gongsim techniques from an early age. This is because the symptoms come slowly and slowly, so there is ample time to build up your inner energy and train your body.

But the situation is different from the third note.

Although it was better than the nine-syllable rhythm, which progressed without any effort before one became a girl, let alone an adult, controlling the three sounds was also extremely difficult.

No matter how diligently you build up your energy, the rate at which yin energy builds up in your body is usually faster. The flow is strong and fast, so you can control the energy of the three negative energies only if you realize the principles of handling energy. Until then, you must continue to rely on elixirs or the power of others to relieve the negative energy.

Even if you can’t do it, you need the help of elixirs or experts until you reach the peak or transcendental state, so in reality, there are only a handful of people in the world who can provide such support.

It was not something that Jeongsam or Yeo Jinsang could handle.

Ho Cheon-an felt confused, but did not show it and took his hand off Navin’s head.

“You bastard! Come and play Janggi.”

“I’m going now.”

Jeongsam and Yeo Jin-sang summoned Ho Cheon-an in a timely manner, but Navin must have sensed something from Ho Cheon-an, so he took Seogong, which was hanging like glutinous rice cake, and ran away somewhere.

“Okay, what do you think?”

“It was three notes.”

“…I see.”

Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang sighed and said nothing. I really want to follow him closely, but isn’t taking a disciple a decision that can only be made out of sympathy?

Ho Cheon-an kept thinking about Navin while playing shogi.

‘Be a disciple.’

Until now, Ho Cheon-an had no intention of taking on disciples. Although he had a lot of various martial arts and elixirs, he possessed them but was not particularly obsessed with them. As I went up and up, I didn’t have any useful martial arts, so I added a few basic skills to Noegong and refined the logic, but I didn’t feel the need to pass it on.

There is no particular great logic behind it; it is simply an improvement made to properly use the body’s extra-standard internal power and extra-standard body.

What is the use of passing down improved martial arts such as Seven Poles, Chilreuiyeongbyeonhwi? If it were not for the body of the Diamond Buddha, it would not be able to withstand the impact and only my body would be damaged.

‘In order to save Naveen, you don’t necessarily need to take him as a disciple.’

Ho Cheon-an has enough money and elixirs. If Naveen is entrusted to a famous lawmaker or a trustworthy clan with sufficient support, Naveen may also be able to grow properly and overcome the three evils.

But then again, how is it going to be like that?

Ho Cheon-an, who remembered Navin’s fear of being abandoned, was reluctant to choose that option.

“It’s a market day!”

“lost.”

Since there was no focus on shogi at all, Ho Cheon-an’s defeat was natural. Seeing Ho Cheon-an calmly nodding, Jeongsam rolled up his sleeves.

“What do you do? Cover your forehead.”

“What?”

“Uh huh, does this old man have dementia? We hit Takbam every time we play chess…yeah. soup? Wasn’t it the national rule?”

Ho Cheon-an looked at him as if he was dumbfounded, but Jeong-sam had no intention of looking at him. I didn’t say anything because I couldn’t tell him to let go of taking someone else’s disciple, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t angry. Is this son of a bitch still worried about what our Navin is lacking and falling asleep?

“Ugh. Do whatever you want.”

Ho Cheon-an cracked his forehead and Jeong-sam concentrated his energy on his fingers with all his might.

Take it, you bastard!

Wow!

“Billion!”

A painful groan rang out at the same time as the dull sound of the blow.

Jeongsam clenches his fingers and rolls on the floor!

“Ugh! My fingers!”

“You! Are you okay?”

Ho Cheon-an looked at Jeong-sam rolling around on the floor with pitiful eyes. It was a natural result, as he had thrown a hammer at the body of the Geumgang Buddha with all his might.

“Oh my! You dirty bastard! You smash someone’s hand just because you don’t want to get hit?!”

“I’m sorry, but I just have a strong body so there’s nothing I can do.”

“I’m so embarrassed that I can’t play with you!”

“Hehe, would you like to play dice or goal cards?”

“Who would gamble with you!”

Ho Cheon-an chuckled as he watched the two people running wild in anger. Do people not change as they age?

Suddenly, Ho Cheon-an had this thought.

These people also started families and took care of children, so maybe I’m thinking about it too complicatedly.

“Did you guys have disciples?”

“Hey, look at the rotten guy changing his words.”

“Why are you asking when you know, you bastard!”

Yeo Jin-sang’s temper reminded Ho Cheon-an of the three young men who came to pick him up. Those who have learned even a little bit of martial arts. These two were the only people who could teach martial arts in this mountainous area, so were these two disciples?

“I will try.”

“What?”

“Being Naveen’s teacher. I’ll give it a try.”

The movements of the two people who were jumping around stopped.

“Yes. Well thought out!”

“Ugh. I’ve finally let go of the hour!”

Ho Tian-an nodded, looking at the look of relief on the two people’s faces. Yes, didn’t you decide to make a comeback? How can we call it a wise decision to turn a blind eye when a relationship is right in front of us?

So, let’s take a child named Naveen.

Ho Cheon-an nodded, making up his mind.

but.

There were things that Ho Cheon-an and the two overlooked.

The point is that the relationship between disciple and teacher is one that takes place through mutual agreement.

“Huh…Hhhhh!! Don’t abandon me! I hate that old man! Aaaa!!”

The problem was that Navin did not want to leave Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang’s house.

The three of them had no choice but to break out in a cold sweat in front of Navin, who was crying freely.

*** ***

Ho Cheon-an decided to talk to Navin.

But even that wasn’t easy.

If Ho Cheon-an’s face was visible, it was because he grabbed the width of the skirts of Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang’s daughters or daughters-in-law and hid behind them.

Jeongsam and Yeo Jin-sang’s daughters and daughters-in-law, who heard about the situation, tried to persuade Navin, but when they saw Navin’s tearful eyes and her face as if asking, ‘Are you going to abandon me?’, they couldn’t bear to get rid of Navin, so Ho Cheon-an I had no choice but to step back every time.

“Keuung.”

Ho Cheon-an, who had wasted the whole day like that, finally realized that he could not solve the current situation on his own and lowered his head.

“Can you help me?”

Snap!

At those words, Seogong snorted and turned his head.

This was because Seo Gong had a lot of regrets about Ho Cheon-an these days. You play hard with the kids, but instead of thanking them for playing, they end up thanking the wrong child for taking care of them. He worked so hard to take care of the kids, but instead of praising him, he doesn’t even care about himself and only follows Navin.

Ho Cheon-an had no choice but to lick his appetite and comfort Seo-gong, who was upset.

“Hehe, how can I not know that you are going through a lot.”

As Ho Cheon-an patted his whole body and praised him, Seogong’s head gradually rose. Ho Cheon-an, who had been soothing Seo Gong for a while, took out a candle from his arms and held it out to Seo Gong.

“So, it would be nice if you could help me.”

Seogong glanced at Yeongchao. Golden leaves with sparkling golden leaves and a refreshing scent. Seogong nodded and took a bite of the herb, storing it in his cheek bag as it was clearly different from the herb that he usually ate.

Squeak!

Transaction completed!

Seo Gong started work immediately. He went to see Naveen and immediately hugged him.

“Wow? Why, why are you doing that?”

Is there anyone who doesn’t like seeing their favorite animal express friendliness?

Navin was taken aback when Seogong, who had always been gently stroked, suddenly stroked him, but a smile soon appeared on his face.

Squeak!

Navin, who was hugging Seogong tightly and enjoying the feel of it, was taken aback when Seogong grabbed his hand with his tail and pulled him towards him. This was because I had a feeling that Seo-gong’s movements were a sign that he was begging to go out of the house.

“You shouldn’t go outside carelessly…”

Squeak!

However, when Seogong pushed his body from behind and showed his anger, Navin, who wanted to play with Seogong more, had no choice but to move outside the house.

However, Navin’s desire to play with Seogong was able to move his feet only to the outskirts of the village.

For Naveen, the outside of the village was a realm of fear.

Take a picture?

Seogong looks back at Navin, who let go of his own tail. Even in Seo-gong’s questioning eyes, Navin was only acting like a thief.

Naveen remembered.

The fear of the wind blowing in the black darkness. The pain of walking endlessly on an endless road in the scorching sun. The hunger that was appeased by sparingly eating a single potato. The cold chill rising from the earth. And even the image of my mother, who was always having a hard time.

Outside of town. The world was like a torment to Naveen.

Snap!

Passyuk!

As if he couldn’t wait any longer, Seogong ran through the bushes and disappeared. Navin looked at the scene and stamped his feet. Seogong ended up going outside into a dangerous area.

“Ugh….”

The feeling of not wanting to go out into the dangerous outdoors and the feeling of having to take Seogong back clashed within Naveen. In the end, Navin remembered Seogong’s tail and soft fur, and trembled and went into the forest.

Snap! Snap!

Navin’s steps quickened at the powerful voice coming from in front. The only thought in Navin’s mind was that he had to take Seogong back quickly.

And when I struggled to get out through the bushes.

Navin made eye contact with the gigantic beast, which could swallow a child in one bite. Naveen’s whole body froze in fear and his breathing stopped. The huge beast, which was staring at Navin, who had frozen in place, tilted its head and opened its mouth.

Kang!

Miho lowered her body and waggled her tail, making a cute cry. While Navin was still unable to escape from his fear, the bushes shook and a ball came out of nowhere and landed on Miho’s head.

Snap!

Seogong said, tapping Miho’s head with his tail.

I told you not to scare me!

Miho protested, feeling aggrieved.

Caiang! Kang!

So I’m feeling good right now!

Although Navin had no way of knowing the conversation between the two spirits, he was still able to sense that Miho was Seogong’s friend.

“Ah….”

Navin gathered his courage and stroked Miho’s head as she lowered herself down. Miho responded by tapping Navin with the tip of her finger. The tension and fear disappeared from Naveen’s face and a bright smile appeared.

Squeak.

Seogong pushed Navin’s back and put him on Miho’s back. Navin was now more curious and excited than afraid. What are Seo-gong and Mi-ho trying to show him?

Miho, carrying Seogong and Navin, ran through the forest.

“Aaaah!”

Navin screamed as he felt the speed for the first time and grabbed Miho’s fur tightly. For a moment, I was clinging frantically to Miho’s back as she ran through the forest. Navin, realizing that Miho had stopped in an empty lot, raised his head.

“Wow.”

There, the spirits accompanying Hocheonan were gathered.
