Episode 54. Thousand-faced cherry blossoms
< Strategy 1. He completely heals So Eun-ri and makes her fight properly against Seong Chun-don. >
Since Bok Yeon-hwa’s ‘alignment order’ comment was also made… I don’t know, but if it were her personality, she would never try to pick up her remarks.
In that case, even if we lose, we should give ourselves a chance to fight properly.
In that case, it would be better to set aside her unknown battle from the conclusion and bet on the remaining battles.
‘First of all, Elder Bok Yeon-hwa will have a high chance of winning against that lazy elder Nam Cheol-hong.’
Because that’s what the original story said…
Then, you must win the battle between the three great disciples.
‘How can I win the first game….’
What is certain is that Bang-Moon Yoon is no match for Bu-Yang Son.
Although the two men’s martial arts levels were comparable, their temperament and cruel hand skills gave them a much greater advantage.
That tendency would not have easily changed now.
At that time, a thought flashed through Han Ibi’s mind.
‘yes! Although it is somewhat different from the original… Jong Li-hyuk was originally a third-generation disciple. So, if we let Jong Ri-hyuk play, there is a chance!’
However, the person who stood in the way between Jong Ri-hyuk, So Eun-ri, and Bok Yeon-hwa was herself…
Han Yi-bi, blaming herself, once again established a second strategy.
< Strategy 2. Let Jong Ri-hyuk attend the first game. (Method ①) Encourage Jong Ri-hyuk to request participation on his own. (Method ②) Bok Yeon-hwa changes Jong Ri-hyuk’s mind to participate. 'Or maybe it would be better to combine both methods... Haha. I am also a genius. 'I'm not the type of person who would be here like this...' Han Ibi thought to herself, grinning. 'Let's attack strategy number 1 first... We have to make her better...' Han Ibi felt her smile gradually disappearing. 'But... how?' Han Ibi thought for a while, straining her brain again. It was then. 'Isn't there something I can do using the 'Herbal Encyclopedia' among the skills I have?' That's why. The reason why Han Yi-bi lied to Bok Yeon-hwa and So Eun-ri.... He said to Bok Yeon-hwa. “Didn’t you see in person my skill at digging up herbs?” Bok Yeon-hwa said with a sour face. “That’s preparing medicine... and working as a doctor is completely different.” Han Ibi fought back without losing. "It's not like that. At first glance, the two things seem completely different, but the fundamental context is the same. The fact is that it is done to repair the human body. So, please allow me to trace So Sojeo’s true pulse.” Actually, this was a gamble. If the ingredients remaining in So Eun-ri's body were completely 'poisonous herbs', the 'Herbal Encyclopedia' would not show any reaction. However... since this is not a poison but a 'dark potion', another possibility is being weighed. At that time, Bok Yeon-hwa, who had been thinking for a while, spoke. She wouldn’t have been able to do anything sharp either… “Good. It weakens Eun-ri’s true veins. However, if your suggestion is nothing more than nonsense, I will make you pay the full price.” 'Wow... that guy's temperament... if you could at least speak kindly...' But Han Ibi hid her true feelings and said 'thank you' as she walked towards So Eun-ri's wrist. In fact, I've never even felt anything like my veins. Recalling the Jin-maek scene he saw in a historical drama, he covered Jin-maek's touch with his back so that he could not see it. The clumsy scene could have aroused suspicion about Bok Yeon-hwa. When Han Ibi rolled up So Eun Ri’s sleeves, her white inner skin was revealed. Even though he was a strong martial arts expert, he must have been a woman. Han Ibi felt like her heart was pounding for some reason. 'It feels awkward to try to catch it out loud. It's awkward...' It was So Eun-ri who was silently watching the fight between Han Yi-bi and Bok Yeon-hwa... but it must have been her first time giving her wrist to a man she didn't know... I could feel her eyes closing tightly. The light blush on my face is just... hmmm... probably just an illusion. And touch. Tiring! Wow, it's surprisingly effective. [This is a matter of checking the Herbal Encyclopedia DB.] Name: Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum Characteristics: Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum can be said to be a type of poppy. The height is about 50~150cm. Its origin was Asia Minor, but it is a new type of poppy that arose in the Central Plains after being exploited by humans and animals. The beautiful purple flowers are great for ornamental purposes, but the fruit is also used for medicinal purposes. 'aha! As expected, I was right. This cherry blossom or something was originally used for medicinal purposes.' [Medicinal effect: When the fruit is injured and dried, it has a strong anesthetic effect and is especially used for surgical medical purposes. However, if an excessive amount penetrates the body, it exerts a strong suppressive force and suppresses internal energy, so you must be very careful about the dosage. Others: It takes at least 1 year and up to 3 years to naturally cure the side effects of prickly peach blossoms...] 'Ugh... I'm ruined.' [...However, if you use the root of Lee Hamjong Tree, which is a rare herb and a special medicine for treating opium addiction, the treatment can be shortened to one or two months.] 'That's right . There is a way... But even though I have studied so many herbs with Master Lee Ham Jong-su, this is the first time I have come across a name like this.' This probably means that it is a herb that is not easy to obtain. Or there may be regional limitations... At that time, So Eun-ri spoke with an even more serious look on her face. “Still…is it still far?” Then, Han Ibi was startled and said as she removed her fingers from her wrist. "no. no. It's done. “I know why.” Yeonhwa Bok said, wriggling her eyebrows. “Are you sure?” "That's right. What happened to So Soje was a kind of drug.” "drug?" "yes. “It is actually an herb used to relieve pain during surgical procedures.” Yeonhwa Bok was angry. “So what do you want to say? “Speak in an easy-to-understand way.” “It is not poison, but symptoms of poisoning have developed. It will fix itself, but it will take a long time.” “Is there a cancellation of the contract?” "...yes. It does exist. It's a bit difficult to get... but don't worry anyway. “I will try to get some herbs somehow.” Han Ibi said that with a grin on her face. While appreciating the admiration that bloomed in Bok Yeon-hwa’s eyes. * * * 'Damn it... It was easy to say...' That's right. As with all things, it is easier said than done. However, there was no way to find out whether it was Lee Ham Jong-su or Go Jong-su. No, in fact, I wasn't even sure if it actually existed on Mount Cheongseong. However, considering that it was named 'Jongsu (樅樹)', there was only hope that it was a type of 'fir' and that it could be grown under the vegetation conditions of Mt. Cheongseong. It is true that I was a little disappointed. But Qingcheng Mountain is very big. And isn't it also famous as an ethereal mountain? 'Scooping through the mountains to dig up medicinal herbs' was the thing I did the most, half willingly, half out of control, after being thrown into this damn martial arts world.... Han Yi-bi made up her mind to turn the entire Cheongseong Mountain upside down. So, as the day passed, Han Ibi was moving more and more towards the outskirts of Cheongseong Mountain. Even today, Han Ibi is struggling to explore Lee Hamjongsu.... But no results are showing. It was so painful... Then one day. Han Ibi happens to witness a very magical sight. "wow! The scenery is truly amazing. “How can a place like this exist near a river like this?” Although Cheongseongsan Mountain has nice mountains and good water, it still boasts even more beautiful scenery. ‘How can such a beautiful scenery exist? Jungwon is truly a mysterious place.' It was then. Han Ibi had discovered something unusual. A gap between endless, vertical cliffs... A space was revealed that a person could barely pass through without bending over. As Han Ibi was born with the skill of 'no-nonsense', if it had been any other time, I would have never even been interested... 'For some reason, I feel like I have to go into this place...?' If you read a lot of martial arts novels... these are places where spirits may appear with a very high probability. "ah! “It’s uncomfortable, but I can’t help it.” Han Ibi couldn't help but bend her waist so much that she barely got inside without curling her body. It was dark, like a cave, with all light blocked. I suddenly felt uneasy. ‘Damn it. Are you entering the dragon's maw by mistake? Should I go back now?...' But my body is still teasing me diligently. The source of all this desire energy is... 'Giyeon, Giyeon and Giyeon!' It was. That feeling of just-in-case. At that time, I felt the dazzling sunlight hitting Han Ibi’s gaze. Suddenly, the cool sound of water pouring comes in. yes. This is... 'It's a waterfall!' After passing through such a narrow space and straightening her back, Han Ibi could not keep her mouth shut when she saw the scene in front of her. 'It is perfect! Perfect!' Absolutely perfect scenery. Sunlight was breaking into the huge waterfall, spewing out a small rainbow that was as shy as a rainbow. The water gathered at the bottom of the waterfall to form a small, green pond, and around it was a huge cliff like a natural folding screen. ‘Kya~. It was truly a sight as if a immortal would appear... Or even a fairy would take a bath...' That was then. The one who stopped Han Ibi’s idle thoughts from starting. It was a letter carved into the cliff near the waterfall. It was clearly a trace of 'writing' written by a person's hand. The letters are engraved from the height of a person's height to the toes. Han Ibi was curious and took a closer look. 'huh? This is...' Surprisingly, there are traces of the writing being dug up. It was similar to traces carved out of a rock using advanced swordsmanship. So.... 'Amazing! 'The letters were carved into the rock using a sword.' Han Ibi thought as she touched the letters with her hand a little closer. 'I've seen a lot of descriptions like this in classic martial arts novels... but seeing it in person like this is amazing.' Han Ibi thought, amazed at the carved, straight texture. 'Leaving traces on rocks using internal strength is not difficult if you practice a little. But writing slowly like this... ah... this is really difficult.' Han Ibi guessed that someone great or an expert must have left this writing with some kind of story. 'Hehehe. If you look at martial arts novels, there is definitely something like this. A coincidence or something like that. Madwoman~ I look forward to it! ha ha ha.' Han Ibi clasped her hands together and unwrapped them while making a ‘tap-duk-tap’ sound. Then I scrubbed the letters one by one. 'Hmm... there's no gain. then.' Han Ibi took her time and tapped the letters one by one. 'Isn't this one too?' He stabbed and dug into the ground around the cliff with a knife, and just in case, he set up an herbal encyclopedia and walked around until his soles were sweaty. But the result is... 'Oh my Shang. Does this mean it's a flop this time?' Nothing happened. I'm tired. Disappointed, Han Ibi slumped down on the sand. Then, letters that she thought were just 'letters carved on rocks' came into view. Seeing that the five letters are arranged neatly, it appears that it is probably a poem. Well, Chinese people like classical poetry. (Continued in the next part)
