Surviving as a Cripple in Murim

11 – Giving someone a name is (3)

If you think about it, fantasy is not boring.

Anything can happen at the point where there is a mysterious power called martial arts. I’m not sure what to say because I don’t watch martial arts well, but since martial arts is a kind of fantasy, I think it’s possible enough.

Let’s look at Gwahae who curls up and munches on medicinal fruits in squatting mode. Gwahae avoided my gaze and turned his head away. It must have been because he was forced to look at his teeth. But even if you are squatting, you still eat the medicine.

“I’m sorry about that. Still, they are pretty and cute, but do you really need to hide them?”

“It’s not pretty… with another person… Different… Strange… “

He said he felt that way. As if I possessed the main character of a light novel, I said “Zenzen! It’s not weird!!” “You are just a little different from others!” “Take care of yourself more!” It was funny to say that, so I just nodded my head.

“Yes, it must be strange to say that you are strange. Hide it well from now on.”

“…… “

Keeping silent and not expressing it in words, Gwahae stared at my right leg with disgruntled eyes.

Those eyes were probably asking why he was so confident when he had strange legs unlike other people.

I thought you were a saengnim who would take care of you when you got hit, but you know how to fight back. It will be fun to teach in the future.

I snorted at Gwahae’s dissatisfied eyes and smiled confidently twisting the ring of my mouth.

“That’s because I’m a good-looking guy, smart, and good at playing yut. I don’t get discouraged because my right leg is crippled.”

When I go for a walk outside, I feel the eyes of many people looking at me strangely. I can hear all the whispers behind my back. But ignore it Ignore everything.

Why? Yeah i’m doing well The character is good, has a sense of humor, and has a good personality. He even learns martial arts well.

The reason I was born lame is a genius who deceives even the sky. It’s a balance patch. Whether it’s true or not, I think so anyway.

The reason my weaknesses stand out is because I lacked confidence. You have to make the advantages random and bury the disadvantages.

The target is the strongest me. The strong me is going to attack the weak me.

It was annoying to stand up with a cane, so it crawled on all fours and approached Gwahae. I felt something strange, but it was already too late.

Like a wolf attacking a rabbit, it knocks over the sea and climbs on top. He resists by twisting his body here and there, but it is useless resistance. ~ So much.

Who said it was okay to wear the eyes of a loser when it comes to a child with a lot of dreams? Cheeky kid. Earn earn.

Pull the cheeks of Gwahae, which are soft and stretchy like rice cakes, on both sides. As a result, the shark teeth he wanted to hide came out, and Gwahae struggled with his eyes wide open, but he didn’t care.

Rather, he looks down at Gwahae, who is making a tearful face, with a confident face, and blows away ridicule.

“You flinch with such tiny shark teeth, you are a small person. But don’t worry.”

Make eye contact and smile.

“I’ll make you a damn cool guy, even if not as good as me. I’ll teach you a lot of things you don’t know.”

Let go of the hand pinching the ball. She swept away her pretty forehead like a curtain and her hair that was covering her eyes.

“So don’t be discouraged. You idiot.”

Hmm~ As expected, not covering the face is much better. I’ll have to fix my hair with scissors later, or get a hairpin from the market and give it to her.

Let’s look down at Gwahae’s eyes, which shake with various emotions. Jangsami, who was sent to the market to run errands, has returned.

“Boss~ Did you go on an errand?!”

A crying girl. And the son of the owner who climbed on top of it with a mean smile. It’s a jaw-dropping sight.

“Hey hey… No kidding! It wasn’t Sama Mancheon, but it was Sama affair?! … The Sama family’s child farming is ruined.”

“It’s not what you think, so close the door and come in.”

“I don’t know what the situation is, but people misunderstand it when they see it. Bocchan, get up quickly.”

Jangsam also made a fuss just to make fun of Manchun, but in reality he knew that Manchun wasn’t that kind of person, so he came into the room and pointed at Gwahae with his chin.

Who is it?”

“Jegal so-and-so. Overkill now I picked it up because I was bored.”

“… You can’t pick up people just because you’re bored.”

“It’s my heart.”

“Anyway, it’s all over the place. But to think that Jegal so-and-so was such a cute girl. After all, it’s a matter of decorating people.”

Jangsam and Mancheon kept talking about something, but nothing came to Gwahae’s ears. All I see is the face of the boy who gave me the name. All you can hear is the sound of a heart beating loudly.

Dragons are sacred creatures. But they are also greedy creatures. Whatever you want, be sure to get it.

I protect the existence that enters my heart even if it dies. Even if you kill it, it won’t be taken away.

Dragons are heavenly beings. The logic of the underworld doesn’t work. That is why wise men act cautiously so as not to be noticed by the dragon.

For small creatures that walk on the ground, the dragon’s interest is both a blessing and a curse.

I even gave it a name. Snacks were also given. From now on, it’s full-scale martial arts training. Originally, it was supposed to be a bundle of beef jerky as a custom of the Sokju rites, but since all I had was a sparrow with an injured wing, I boldly omitted it.

“Now I have no choice but to teach them for free, but in reality, they are not martial arts that can be taught for free. All of them are high-level martial arts. Did you understand?”

“… Huh!”

“Okay. Then, what should I do when I succeed in life later?”

Gwahae frowned and pondered, then tilted his head as if he didn’t know why.

“… I don’t know.”

“What should I not know with an innocent face! Don’t look at people as water! Pay back if you succeed! Repay the favor many times over later! Okay?”

I don’t know if he really understood, but he nodded his head strongly as if he understood what was wrong.

“… Huh! I’ll pay you back!”

“Okay. Then I will teach you the inner core method first.”

I tried to teach him how to sit cross-legged and teach him how to sit cross-legged, but since he didn’t know how to sit cross-legged, he taught me how to sit cross-legged first. We have a long way to go than we thought.

“Now, from now on, follow what I say and breathe. Got it?”

“… Huh!”

The answer is good. As I had learned from Master, I taught Gwahae the Gugyeol of Hyeonmun Jeongjongnae Gongsimbeop.

“If you make up your mind, forget your feelings. If your body is weak, cheer up.”

“… If you make up your mind, forget your heart… If your body is weak, cheer up.”

“When the heart dies, the spirit lives. When the yang is prosperous, the yin is extinguished.”

“… When the heart dies, the spirit lives… When the yang is prosperous, the yin is extinguished.”

Simple reading and writing for Gwahae and Hyeonmun Jeongjongnaegongsimbeop. It’s been about a week since I taught the so-called Forward Mind Method.

Seeing that there was no problem communicating even though there was no one to take care of writing, I am learning without any problems because I am not a bad brain. The problem is on the inside side. No, should I call this a problem?

Sit cross-legged in front of your eyes, exhale and look at Gwahae practicing the Hyeonmunjeongjongnae Gongsimbeop. It is so perfect that the word perfect is not enough. Abnormally, internal energy builds up quickly.

A simple analogy to the principle of the Naegongsimbeop is distilling sea water that humans cannot drink to make it drinkable. The human body cannot contain the energy of nature as it is. That’s why it is transformed into a form that can be contained through the breathing method.

If the so-called ascending inner core methods give up some safety and lower the number of distillations to absorb seawater to increase efficiency, the Hyeonmun Jeongjong inner core method distills to the level of plain water, which has high stability but is less efficient than other internal core methods. It is an internal method.

There is no risk of falling into the coin inhalation due to its high safety, but the internal energy accumulation method is slow. That’s the method of inner peace I learned. And I taught Gwahae the Hyeonmun Jeongjong Naegongsimbeop just as I had learned.

… But why does it build up so quickly? I don’t understand.

As if there is nothing wrong with drinking seawater, the natural air that has not gone through the distillation process flows into the Danjeon of Gwahae.

The downside of Hyeonmun Jeongjong Naegongsimbeop is that the rate of internal energy accumulation is slow until the training period reaches 10 years. But it’s completely different.

High safety and high efficiency. This is no longer the Hyeonmun Jeongjong Naegongsimbeop. It’s something else … Was it transformed into something else?

Let’s look at Gwahae with eyes that are confused by the abnormal breathing method. Gwahae, who had finished breathing, looked at me with deep blue eyes and smiled softly.

… I got a little scared for some reason.
