Genius Martial Arts Trainer Chapter 44

◈ Cheonryu Sangdan (2)

Dengfeng County, Henan Province.

Among the countless manors and pavilions built by Shaolin and Cheonryu Sangdan, which are huge for a prefecture, one manor boasts the grandest size.

At the entrance to the manor, the words “Cheonryu Sangdan (天流商團)” were written in the handwriting of a dragon and a flying horse.

A pavilion located at the heart of the top of the stream.

At that place called Dangjujeon, the head of the top, Ryu Ji-gwang, read the manuscripts with a dull expression.

[General report on Wuhan, Hubei Province]

[Report on purchase of Uichang, Hubei Province]

… …

[Report on the withdrawal of Nanju from Gansu Province]

[General report by Cheon Soo-hyeon from Gansu Province]

… …

[General report from Ha Jin-hyeon, Shanxi Province]

… …

The countless books on the table were from Bunta, a Cheonryu sangdan located in various parts of the central plains.

‘Hmm.’

Ryu Ji-gwang, who had been reading the documents for a while, frowned slightly when he read the letter that came from Bunta, Myanyang, Sichuan Province.

And after checking the reports that had come in from other provinces that he had previously checked several times, he quickly scribbled a few words with a brush on a blank piece of paper.

“Commissioner Yang.”

As soon as he sealed the ink on the paper and called the general, a man with a graying beard entered Danjujeon.

“yes. Lord of the top.”

“Send blue gold bands to Bunta, Mianyang, Sichuan Province, and Bunta, Hanzhong County, Shaanxi Province. “The information that needs to be investigated is written in this document, so you must open it after arriving at the scene.”

“All right. Lord of the top.”

Ryu Ji-gwang, who handed the letter to Minister Yang, sighed lightly.

“You’re playing a stupid prank.”

The most important business of the Tianliu Trading Company, one of the five major trading companies in Tianhao, was the transportation business.

As can be seen from the reports piled up on his table, the Cheonryu Sangdan had branches all over the continent and was purchasing various special products from each region in large quantities and selling them all over the country.

Naturally, the letter sent from Myeongyang, Sacheon, also contained details of the purchase and release of countless items.

In fact, the report from the Myeongyang branch that bought and distributed the products and the information from Shaanxi Province’s Han Jung-hyeon, who received the products, were correct.

However, when compared to information coming from other regions. The price of one item was set higher than the market price.

“Tsk. The fact that the top is too big is also a problem.”

Ryu Ji-gwang lightly clicked his tongue and muttered.

‘Do we need to further reinforce Cheonggeumdae’s personnel? … .’

Cheonggeumdae was a kind of inspection group. The Cheonryu Trading Company’s inspection team is comprised of only those whom Ryu Ji-gwang can trust.

However, Ryu Ji-gwang quickly shook off that thought. This was because he was well aware of the fact that indiscriminately increasing the number of members of the Cheonggeumdae could be self-defeating.

What if the local Bunta owner tells a lie, and the inspection team that comes to crack down on it takes the side of the Bunta owner?

In order to avoid such a terrible situation, Cheonggeumdae had no choice but to consist of only the most trustworthy people who were highly loyal to Ryu Ji-gwang.

‘If the movements of some local buntas weren’t strange recently, there would be no need to worry so much.’

In fact, until a few years ago, I never felt that Cheonggeumdae was short on personnel.

However, recently, a strange sense of discomfort continued to get on Ryu Ji-gwang’s nerves.

If there was just a problem, there were no clear signs or evidence.

The reason Ryu Ji-gwang senses the uneasy energy now is simply thanks to the excellent sense he has developed while running the business over the past few decades.

“If you deal with the tails that appear first, you will be able to catch the body someday.”

Shaking his head, Ryu Ji-kwang turned his attention to the books piled up on the table again.

I couldn’t let go of work just because I felt uncomfortable. This was because there were still a mountain of documents he had to process on the table.

After that, he wrote up a report discovering some unusual things and delivered instructions to buntas in various parts of the continent through the commanders-in-chief.

“Whoa.”

Ryu Ji-gwang let out a deep sigh as he patted his back and pelvis, which were aching from a long period of paperwork.

I was able to finish the work I had to do today. I started work early in the morning and it was already past 9 o’clock, but it was also finished quite early compared to usual.

After finishing work, Ryu Ji-gwang got up and headed somewhere. Since it was late at night, it was natural for him to head to his place, but the place Ryu Ji-gwang was heading to was not his place.

“mother. Soja Jigwang is coming.”

The place he went to was his mother. It was the residence of Yeon Ga-hee (蓮嘉熙).

“You may feel free to come in.”

With her permission, Ji-gwang entered the room and looked at his mother with a bitter face.

Ryu Ji-gwang did not always go to visit his mother after work since long ago.

‘ha. ‘I was so blinded by work that I lived without seeing my family.’

Since his days as successor, he has been crazy about work for decades.

Not long ago, Ryu Ji-gwang felt like he had been hit on the head when he saw his mother walking through the yard.

In his memories, his mother smiled like a girl even in her middle age. The mother’s hair had already turned white, and she was walking through the yard with her back bent and a painful expression on her face.

From that day on, whenever Ryu Ji-gwang had a little free time between working at the top, he tried to spend time with his mother and family.

However, that effort was already too late.

My wife passed away while giving birth to my youngest daughter, and my mother was already old.

furthermore.

‘Now I can’t easily see my children even if I miss them.’

His two sons, who were already grown, could not meet in person because each was in charge of a local branch.

Ryu Ji-kwang often wondered if this was truly family, as they were competing with each other to become the owner of the merchant just like he was.

However, that doesn’t mean you can just let go.

Ryu Ji-gwang came to see his mother today to bring up the story he had been holding back for the past few days.

“mother. “By any chance, are you on your way to Shaolin Temple today?”

He had come to stop my mother from visiting Shaolin Temple.

Ryu Ji-gwang was someone who could not bear to watch a person who was not in good health go to Shaolin Temple and bow to him out of concern for his children.

“mother. Please think about your body. “I beg your son to do this earnestly.”

When Ryu Ji-gwang said that with a face full of sadness, the old woman responded with a smile like the girl she had when she was young.

“Ho ho ho. No need to worry. Top note. Anyway, today I went to Shaolin Temple and received treatment.”

“… … What do you mean by that? mother.”

When Ryu Ji-gwang asked with a puzzled look, Yeon Ga-hee told the story of meeting a fellow monk named Mu-jin at Shaolin Temple today.

“It was truly a mysterious hand. “Isn’t it much more effective than the acupuncture needles that I used to get sick of or the decoction that now makes me nauseous just by smelling its scent?”

“… … “Do you mean to say that you will visit the Shaolin Temple tomorrow to receive the same treatment?”

“That’s right. “Sangangju.”

To his mother’s answer, Ryu Ji-kwang responded with a look of determination.

“If you do, I will visit the Shaolin Temple together tomorrow.”

Ryu Ji-gwang planned to stop his mother’s journey to Shaolin by personally checking the treatment of a fellow monk named Mu-jin and proving that it was useless.

* * *

Mujin had a hard time even responding properly to the old woman’s greeting, saying she would come back tomorrow.

It’s because of the name Cheonryu Sangdan that suddenly popped out.

And the next day.

As expected, the old woman came to Shaolin Temple again. With a middle-aged man.

Mujin, who had a wealth of social experience, greeted the old woman and the middle-aged man without showing his embarrassment.

“hello. grandma! Nice to meet you. “My name is Mujin, one of the three greatest disciples of Shaolin.”

Ryu Ji-gwang made a strange expression at the sight of his brother-in-law who was rude(?) to his mother but was very polite to himself.

“Oh hohoho. Aren’t our Mujin children really cute? Lord Danju. oh. “And again, I have been rude to Mujin.”

“What are you saying? grandma! “Please feel free to speak!”

Ryu Ji-gwang looked bewildered at the conversation between the two, who looked like real grandchildren and real grandparents. Ryu Ji-gwang’s biological sons. So, even Yeon Ga-hee’s own grandchildren did not treat her so kindly.

‘If my mother is happy, that’s okay.’

It was Ryu Ji-gwang who decided that his fellow monk could do for him what he and his grandchildren could not do for him.

Ryu Ji-gwang, after organizing his thoughts, answered with a smile that seemed gentle at first glance, like a seasoned merchant.

“I heard a lot about Mujin Dongja from my mother. “She said she would cure your mother?”

“Is there any treatment? ha ha ha. “Just spending time together.”

Likewise, Mujin, who had perfectly managed his facial expressions, replied that it was no big deal.

‘That person is Jeondae Sang Sang-ju.’

I was thinking of those thoughts in my mind.

At this point, he may be the current Sangdangju, but the Sangdangju that appears in the novel that Mujin read was a different character.

‘Hmm. Then, if I get closer to the head of the Sentai Sangdan, will I be able to dig into the relationship between the Cheonryu Sangdan and the dark side in detail?’

If he remembers correctly, Cheonryu Sangdan was not a complete ally of the dark side in the novel. Rather than being part of the same gang, it seemed closer to a contractual relationship.

In addition, it was often mentioned that during the time of the former head of the upper class, the upper class was not that vicious.

Therefore, Mujin decides to hope that the Cheonryu Sangdan may not yet be on the same side as the dark side. On the other hand, if he was already in the same group, he decided to keep them close and look for an opportunity to dig in.

‘okay. As the old saying goes, friends are close. ‘Because I said the enemy is closer.’

After thinking that far, Mujin opened his mouth with a business smile.

“It seems like the owner of the business does a lot of his work while sitting.”

“It happened because I often read books while sitting.”

Like a seasoned merchant, ‘Why do you ask that?’ It was Ryu Ji-kwang who answered with a generous smile while hiding his true feelings.

“Because you sit for too long at work, your pelvis is distorted and your back is slightly bent. Would you rather take this opportunity to receive treatment with her grandmother?”

It was Mujin who started to do business with Ryu Ji-gwang.

‘Hoo?’

The tips of Ryu Ji-kwang’s eyebrows rose slightly at the commercial smile that Mu-jin showed, along with the keen eye for immediately diagnosing his physical condition.

“Can you please check what kind of treatment it is?”

But Ryu Ji-gwang was not one to be easily overcome. He asked back in a tone that seemed interesting, but also grave.

And since Mujin had decided to approach Ryu Ji-gwang anyway, he decided to treat the grandmother and Ryu Ji-gwang properly.

“Then I would appreciate it if you would follow me first. ah! I will carry grandma on my back! “Hold me on your back like you did yesterday!”

After Mujin carried the old woman, Bomu confidently walked through the Shaolin Temple pavilions and headed somewhere.

The place where Mujin led the old woman and Ryu Ji-gwang.

“Mujin? “What is happening at this hour?”

That place was the palace where Hyeon-gwang and Beop-geon lived.

Beopgeon, who asked with a puzzled look, was soon able to guess what was going on when he saw the old woman on Mujin’s back and the middle-aged man next to him.

“My grandmother was unwell, so I thought it would be good if we could get treatment together, so I came with her. “Master.”

At Mujin’s words, Beopgeon turned his head and looked at Hyeongwang. And Hyeon-gwang, who was getting some fresh air on the main floor, shook his head with a benevolent smile.

“Hehehe. If it is your heart to do so, then do it.”

“thank you. Grandfather! “Then why don’t we proceed with your grandfather’s treatment now?”

At Mujin’s suggestion, treatment for the three people – Hyeon-gwang, the old woman, and Sang-sang-ju – was carried out simultaneously.

First, Beop-geon gave Hyeon-gwang acupressure, and Mu-jin took turns giving acupressure to the old woman and Sang-sang-ju. And after his body warmed up a bit, he started doing Pilates.

Although the tools were diverse, there was only one for each person, so Mujin was performed by three people using different tools according to the treatment area.

For example, in the case of those with a curved back, exercise focusing on the abdominal muscles and central muscles (core muscles) through Pilates arcs.

In the case of an old woman whose body is severely stiff, movements focusing on muscle lengthening are performed using a barrel.

And Hyunkwang, who lacked muscle, used a reformer to perform exercises focusing on strength and rehabilitation.

‘Maybe it’s better.’

Mujin was very reluctant to have Beopgeon and Hyeongwang conducting a Pilates class after only teaching for a month.

As Mu-jin approached the grandmother and Sang-sang-ju, he thought it was a good thing because he could pay more attention to Hyeon-gwang’s treatment.

I hope the movement continues like that for a long time.

“Hehehehe.”

“Hohohoho.”

They were two old people exercising while exchanging smiles that somehow felt similar.

“Are you feeling okay? “This is a lot harder than it looks, right?”

“But we, Mujin children, probably don’t want to do anything harmful to our bodies. Ho ho ho.”

“… … .”

I didn’t feel it when I was treating one person, but since I was treating two elderly people at the same time, I was confused as to whether this was a Shaolin temple or a rehabilitation treatment center specializing in elderly people.

* * *

Over the course of about half an hour, we started with acupressure and massage, followed by simple muscle lengthening techniques and Pilates classes.

Mujin was troubled by one thing.

‘If possible, I think it would be a good idea to also use electric or heat treatment.’

The old woman and the merchant were in better physical condition than the first Hyeon-gwang. Because it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t even move on my own.

However, as the body had not been maintained at all for decades, I felt stiff muscles here and there when I applied acupressure with my hands.

And Hyunkwang was able to immediately sense what concerns Mujin was thinking about.

“Hehehe. Mujin. Brain therapy and heat therapy are what I want to do.”

“yes. “Grandfather.”

“If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry.”

Hyunkwang answered with a benevolent smile and raised both hands.

Pajijik.

Grumbling.

Nature guardians gathered around Hyeon-gwang, and a lightning bolt appeared on his left hand. A flame bloomed in his right hand.

“… … .”

Mujin, speechless, stared at the scene blankly.
