Episode 41
Everyone stood up at once and bowed to their teacher.
Master waved his hand as if he were not greeted with good morning and sat down in his seat.
The seat of 1,000 won (天元) on the banquet table of Baekrin Uigak.
It was the seat of Zhuge Lin, the footnote of Baeklin.
Master, who always smiled brightly at Jin Cheon-hee, did not even give his student a glance today.
It was like he was a completely different person. He said to General Yu Ho:
“Let’s start the meeting.”
The four leaders of the party adjusted their posture at the sound of his voice.
* * *
Basic meetings followed. Commissioner Yoo Ho read the agenda in a sonorous voice.
“This time, the Murim Alliance requested dispatch. “I’m planning to open a Yongbong branch this year as well.”
Yongbong branch.
It refers to a secret martial arts competition held by the Murim Alliance by gathering later leaders of each sect for unity.
It’s a good opportunity for the martial arts people to get a star title, but it’s a period when lawmakers are dying.
‘From the clinic’s point of view, this is a period when a large number of emergency trauma patients occur.’
The hell of the emergency room passed like a flash in Jin Cheon-hee’s mind.
As expected, Sima Byeong, head of the acupuncture branch, did not look good.
Sima disease (昞).
He looks thin and stubborn, and his voice is sharp, making him not easy to approach.
He was quite handsome for his age, had a large physique and strong muscles. He also cut his hair short, making him look like an experienced boxer.
Acupuncture Hall is the place in charge of acupuncture and moxibustion within Uigak.
Stop the bleeding with a needle or insert an internal force into the blood vessel to provide anesthesia and begin treatment.
If acupuncture does not resolve the problem, use moxibustion to treat both external and internal injuries.
They were literally the first party to die in such an event.
“What is the size of the secret martial arts competition?”
“It looks like it’s at a similar level to last year.”
“Ha, it’s similar to last year…”
At the words of the acupuncture head Sima Byeong, the medicinal head Manpagok burst out laughing.
“Who can do anything to the vigor of young warriors?”
“Well, the head of Yakjaedang is laughing and thinking it’s someone else’s business.”
“I will make a lot of my Geumchang Yak. “Do your best.”
In some ways, it seemed like an ordinary joke among senior citizens at a senior center, but the content was unusual.
As long as you pick up a sword, you are bound to get hurt somewhere, whether your arm is cut off, your leg is cut off, or your internal organs are cut off.
The lightest wound among these is just a small cut on the skin.
Even if it is not treated properly, it can lead to secondary infections such as tetanus.
Knowing that, the four leaders of the House of Representatives reflected on each other’s intentions and tried to get at least one more person to support them.
Sima Bing, head of the acupuncture house, rubbed his beardless chin.
“In that case, how about we just help at Yakjaedang? “I feel like I don’t have enough hands.”
At those words, the head of the herbal medicine company smiled slyly.
“I heard that a large number of later leaders of the party are coming to this Yongbong branch, so I think it will be difficult. “I will stay up all day just to make the Cheongmyeongdan needed for detoxification.”
“Then how about Chuna Danju?”
Judanha, head of Chunadang.
She is a strong-looking woman in her 30s with thick eyebrows and large eyes.
Although he was smaller than the previous two old men, his muscles were stronger than anyone else’s.
As the head of the Chuna party, she is in charge of Uigak’s Chuna technique.
By beating the body with Chunajutsu, the bones are restored and the energy and blood are healed. They also forcibly unclogged blood vessels or blood clots to allow recovery. It can also be used to attach broken bones or straighten twisted bones.
It’s a pretty rough method, but the effect is good.
Judanha, the head of Chunadang, answered indifferently.
“What use is there to use Chunasul on warriors who have been stabbed with a knife? If you need it, take it to our kids. “I could even help move the patient.”
“Isn’t that a problem because there are a lot of broken bones? “I heard that among these new masters, there are quite a few deacons.”
“The martial arts are of their own kind, but…”
“Unfortunately, they said that a new expert who has learned the secrets of Taegeuk is coming in.”
Her expression hardened.
Dislocations or fractures are inevitable if you are struck by the authority that overpowers the Taegeuk River.
As with other traumas, time is of the essence when it comes to fractures, and Chunasul is the only way to resolve them.
“Why on earth are you holding a Yongbong branch? “Do you like everyone getting hurt?”
She grumbled and selected a few more people to assign.
Looking at this scene, Jin Cheon-hee was filled with a very strange feeling.
‘This is what the Yongbong branch feels like to the lawmakers.’
As a former surgeon, I felt a strange sense of kinship.
Yuho, as the governor, wrote down the discussions of the leaders and asked.
“Does the leader of the armed forces have anything to say?”
Dokgojunghu, the ruler of the armed forces.
He was a middle-aged man wearing an eye patch and had clear facial features that attracted people’s attention.
He always gives off an air of knowledge about worldly affairs, and I heard that one eye was lost while protecting Zhugelin in the past.
His body size is larger than that of Ju Dan-ha. His arms were full of scars.
He answered harshly.
“I want to retire.”
“yes?”
At those words, the heads of the party leaders tilted in that direction. Even Yuho, who asked, was dumbfounded and asked back.
Dokgo Middle School said.
“The master with the flower mirror has entered the royal palace, so what reason would I have to be here? “I want to hand it over to Wang Chae-baek, a palace official, and spend my time fishing in the wilderness.”
The sudden retirement announcement left everyone speechless.
‘No, this is really nonsense.’
At a morning assembly at a university hospital, a professor said, “We heard that an American star doctor is coming to our hospital!” You don’t need me anymore, right? It was like saying, ‘I’m retiring!’
Then Zegalin spoke.
“As you know, the military leader of the Uigak is not a position whose rank is determined simply by strength. “You lack the reputation and experience to take on the position of head of the family.”
“But retirement…”
“…Please continue to take good care of me. Lord Armed Forces.”
However, he did not allow it.
Dokgo Junghu spoke in a quiet voice.
“Last year too, the new masters of the Yongbong branch started a fight and had a hard time…”
“Hahaha, wasn’t it handled well thanks to the good Lord of the Armed Forces?”
It was destined that Dokgo, middle school, and post-secondary schools would continue to be divided like that.
After dealing with the agenda items one by one, we finally got to the main topic, which is the most important.
Yuho said.
“The following is an agenda regarding Prince Jin’s future.”
At those words, the four old monsters’ eyes lit up at once.
‘Why are people who didn’t even say hello just a moment ago suddenly looking at me so passionately?’
Jin Cheon-hee, who received that look, somehow felt burdened.
* * *
“This Yi Pavilion originally started from Zhuge Yi Pavilion.”
It was a long time ago.
At the time when the Zhuge family existed, the family operated a royal palace called Zhuge Uigak. At the time, he was not one of the three great royal families in the world, but he was still said to have had considerable power.
Afterwards, although the Zhuge family fell, Zhuge Lin, the last survivor of the Zhuge family, succeeded him.
He built Baekrin Uigak and made it one of the three greatest Uigak in the world.
If there had been even one more successor to the Zhuge family, the name Zhuge Yi Pavilion could have been revived.
However, it was unknown when Jegalin would die, and he was the only one to carry on the family’s blood.
Therefore, he simply named it a new name and established it as Baekrin Uigak.
The four remaining heads of the clan were those who had helped Zhuge Lin since the reign of Zhuge Yi.
In the face of Jiang Hu’s fire, they were firmly supporting Zhuge Lin.
Yakjaedangju Manpagok.
Acupuncturist Sama-byeong.
Judanha, head of Chunadang.
Dokgo Junhu, the leader of the armed forces.
The world called them the four great heads of Baekrin Uigak.
Therefore, these four people were no different from vassals who had been serving the Zhuge family for a long time.
Their loyalty was deep and profound. However, like old gangsters of a powerful family, they also had strong personalities.
They were lawmakers, scholars, and military personnel.
Zhugelin expressed deep respect for them.
“If it weren’t for your hard work, this Zhuge Mo wouldn’t still be alive.”
The four of them quietly listened to Zhuge Lin.
“But when I suddenly looked back, it occurred to me that I should also think about the future of this Uigak. So he brought in disciples. He is a smart child and knows a completely different medical technique than us. This meeting was convened because it was thought that the child’s depth of medical skills was suitable for creating a new party. “Please share your opinions honestly.”
“It was said that a master should be careful in choosing his disciples, and a disciple should be careful in hiring his master. “This old man recognizes the wisdom of each state, and it was truly a wonder that he healed Wang Gak-yeon, the daughter of a royal courtier.”
The bedding owner’s bright voice echoed through the conference room.
“But aren’t you still too young? The medical technology is amazing, but there are many things that have not yet been proven. Since we are responsible for the patient’s life, we cannot use unproven medical techniques carelessly. “I think it would be a good idea to create a new party after further verifying Su Gongja’s medical skills.”
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘From the perspective of the bedding owner, it is the right decision. But at the same time, it’s frustrating.’
Jin Cheon-hee’s medicine has been sufficiently verified. He had modern medical techniques that had been accumulated over thousands of years. But of course they don’t know that.
How long will it take to verify Jin Cheon-hee’s medical skills?
‘Besides, Master’s body won’t be able to hold out until then.’
However, Jin Cheon-hee was silent at first. Because it couldn’t be done by insisting that something was right without any basis.
“Wasn’t there a problem before that?”
The head of the Chuna clan opened his mouth in a drowsy voice.
“I’ve never seen or heard of such medical techniques in the first place. It is said that among the three great swords in the world, even the art of breaking the black sword of the bloodless old monster is not done in this way. In fact, doubts about Sogongja’s identity are not easily dispelled.”
‘I wondered why that story didn’t come out.’
Anyone can see that Jin Cheon-hee is a suspicious child.
Even if you are a genius, there are limits.
You can’t be a martial arts sect if you don’t ask where the roots of this unheard-of medical technique come from. A martial arts forest is a forest made up of martial arts.
Burying the roots of the trees that make up the forest is like a martial artist’s instinct.
“I guarantee that.”
That’s it.
Yuho opens his mouth.
“Commissioner Yu?”
“yes. Verification was completed through some means. You can rest assured. Because Duke Xiao’s true intentions will not harm the master.”
At those words, the expression on your head’s face changed.
“Hmm… if Director Yu says so…”
I calmed down your old monster with just one word. That was difficult with ordinary trust.
Jin Cheon-hee was dumbfounded and looked at Yu-ho and the heads of the clan in turn.
‘No, what is it? ‘Why are you ignoring it just because Yuho said something like that?’
Jin Cheon-hee became more and more curious about Yu-ho.
