Episode 989
“….”
At that time, the master looks at his disciple.
Without even blinking an eye.
The deep look in his eyes, as if he was penetrating my inner thoughts, gave my student goosebumps for a moment.
“!?”
When I took a step back in shock, it was only then that Master opened his distinctive eyes.
“I looked because I had something to think about.”
“Oh yes. “It seems like this student was sensitive.”
“It’s okay. “If I look at you like this, even the leaders of the party say they have nightmares that day, but you’re not like that.”
‘…I see. thank god.’
Jin Cheonhee thought so and nodded.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if a disciple, or even a disciple, had a nightmare because he couldn’t accept the look in his teacher’s eyes?
“Let’s keep the phenomenon you saw a secret for now. “I think I need to do some more research personally.”
“Maybe I touched something wrong and broke it.”
“I don’t think so.”
‘Whew, that’s a relief.’
My heart is completely moved.
You don’t know how worried Zhuge Emperor was, thinking that he had destroyed a timeless heirloom with his own hands.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Then, I will use this elixir to go to the imperial capital and find out the truth…”
“…There is no need for that. “I will do it ‘myself.’”
“Master, you are going to the imperial capital yourself?”
Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“okay. “Isn’t that strange for a teacher to personally transfer a student’s gift?”
…Does something seem strange?
I suddenly thought about that and shook my head.
‘No. There must have been a scene like this in the martial arts novels I read.’
…there was none.
Then Zegalin spoke.
“I think we should analyze this elixir before presenting it to the Emperor. … Even if that wasn’t the case, something happened at Sacheondanga and you had to go.”
“ah!”
okay. The disciple is busy, so the teacher goes to take care of the work instead.
There have been some cases like this.
Jin Cheon-hee asked, completely convinced by the teacher’s logic.
“Are you going to Sacheondang?”
“The time for medical exchange meetings has arrived.”
“ah! Yes.”
What is a medical exchange meeting?
An event held with Sacheondanga in partnership with Baekrin Uigak. I’ve been there before too.
‘And at that time, there was a mess at Odokmun.’
furthermore.
“They say the epidemic has started to spread there again.”
Epidemic?!!!
“Oh no, what kind of epidemic is it!”
“It’s a poisonous disease.”
Zhugelin waved a carrot named Plague in front of his pup-like disciple.
Hakjil (瘧疾).
In modern terms, malaria.
On the website of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Sudan, it is written as follows.
According to the etymology, ‘mal’, which means ‘bad’, and ‘aria’, which means air, are combined to call it malaria.
‘Here, ‘mal’ has the meaning of ‘bad’ as well as ‘crazy’.’
In the case of tropical malaria, it can cause neurological symptoms such as seizures or paralysis, but it may have seemed that way to people in the past.
A disease that has plagued humanity for a very long time.
The story of Hakjil is recorded on a clay tablet discovered in the Assyrian Library in ancient China 5,000 years ago, and even in ancient India and Egypt.
In ancient Rome in the 1st century BC, people contracted a ‘strange plague’ caused by mosquitoes.
It is especially common near swamps, so there are records left to this day that say they should all be filled up and discarded.
but.
‘Science isn’t necessarily an upward trend.’
As human knowledge began to roll back in the Middle Ages, it was believed to be just an airborne infection until the 19th century.
In fact, later humans have forgotten all the observations made at that time.
At most, it was believed that the foul smell coming from the swamp was the cause.
However, as everyone now knows, the main source of malaria infection is mosquitoes.
It mainly thrives in tropical areas, and these mosquitoes transmit a type of parasite that infects them.
The moment a mosquito bites and sucks blood, thread-shaped parasites enter the body, and they live in the liver, multiplying again and again.
Because it eventually creates cysts.
And what happens when this sac bursts?
The baby parasites inside now begin to reproduce in the red blood cells.
Now, if they travel on red blood cells and go to the organs.
It destroys the kidneys, causes inflammation in the lungs, and of course, destroys red blood cells, causing anemia and high blood sugar levels.
When these go to the head, it is called cerebral malaria and cause a coma-like state.
If not treated early, it can lead to permanent disabilities such as hearing loss and blindness.
What’s even more damning is that in this situation, humans somehow manage to survive with their tenacious vitality.
As the protozoa remains in the liver, a cyst later develops, which bursts again and starts again.
It may sound crazy, but if you look at it in Kang Ho’s way, it’s a persistent poison that keeps coming back once you get it!
‘Kids these days don’t know if they’re scared of malaria.’
Fortunately, our country is almost eradicated.
In addition, Korea’s indigenous malaria is easier to treat and has a better prognosis than expected.
So, I don’t really know how scary this is.
However, malaria, which lives in tropical areas where there is no winter, is still scary, and medical staff want people to prepare thoroughly in advance and be careful when traveling to countries with a high risk of malaria.
This is also due to the mosquitoes that live in tropical areas mentioned above.
If something dangerous like that comes from overseas, there will be an uproar.
“Malaria in Sichuan…? No, but it’s a place where malaria can easily spread.”
Even in ancient China on Earth, many people worked hard to get rid of this disease.
Even at that time, malaria was often spreading in areas such as Sichuan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Yunnan.
In fact, I once read that the Chinese medical scientist Tu Youyou, who received the Nobel Prize for developing a malaria treatment, developed the new drug because malaria was very prevalent in China in the 1950s and 1960s.
Necessity soon leads to invention.
Because even at this very moment, humanity is burning its own life to create technology that can be passed on to the next generation.
“Isn’t there already a cure for malaria?”
As I realized last time with the ruins of Jinju Eonga.
‘There is a good man, Galhong, in this world too.’
That’s a real good guy too.
So, in a world where humans can realize the Tao and attain enlightenment, they are truly good people.
There is also a book he wrote called Captor.
In particular, in the case of Pobagja, the vision was passed down to the Nabu Sect, a sect established by Galhong, but the general herbal medicine and pharmaceutical methods are also widely spread among the civilians.
And if you look at the cap, there is a cure for the disease.
“Even though there are widely known treatments, they are not completely effective.”
‘They say that even if you actually use a cure for the disease, the odds of survival are 50 to 50. ‘It’s also because it’s made using traditional methods.’
The fact that it is 50% is 50%, but since statistics are not calculated like in modern medicine, there is a high possibility that it is lower.
Besides that.
‘Is the biggest problem that drugs are expensive and their quality is inconsistent?’
Because each pharmacy makes it in a way that has been passed down since ancient times, the quality varies from store to store.
Some might ask:
‘Then wouldn’t only the best pharmacy survive?’
The reality is slightly different.
Why don’t fortune tellers say that people who are good at telling the future earn more than people who are good at guessing the future?
It’s not like measuring something with statistics.
However, since there is no system in which only that person can take a test and receive a medical license and open a medical clinic, people ultimately move based on their personal experiences and goodwill.
‘Plus, there’s no internet review system. If you have a pharmacy in a remote village, you have no choice.’
As a result, in this era, there are some quacks who have just passed down generations.
It may sound crazy, but we live in an era where people can make a living just by looking good without proper medical skills.
Master said.
“It is said that the Lord of Sacheonseong asked for help from the Sacheondanga and Ami factions, as well as other sects and Yakbang Uigak…. They say it will not subside easily.”
“What about the Qingcheng faction?”
“Ah, after Jang Mun-in passed away in a fire of unknown cause, he continued to walk down the path of decline. It’s a shame. “Now they say it’s on the verge of extinction.”
“Ah…”
Is this just adding insult to injury?
This was also a common occurrence in Gangho.
Jin Cheon-hee nodded and continued speaking.
“Well… it won’t be easy to remove the cause of the disease. Especially in that area.”
Sichuan Province.
This is a very, very good area for mosquitoes to breed.
It’s hot and humid. After making a big splash during the reign of the Emperor, public administration power has barely been reached.
Plus, the temperature this year is unusually high and it’s raining…
Other regions are experiencing drought, but this neighborhood is still experiencing it.
In fact, there are reports that it seems to be falling more as other places are experiencing drought.
Thanks to this, many new swamps were created.
‘It’s a mosquito farm.’
“Hmm… I see. “I guess I’ll have to take some medicine to cure the disease.”
“It’s actually good. In fact, haven’t all the necessary procedures been completed?”
“yes. “In fact, it is the stage before deciding on a name.”
Originally, I was going to release it to the world leisurely early next year or late this year.
‘If we exchange with the Sacheondanga, might we be able to improve things further than now?’
At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee instantly replayed the memories of the history and treatment of malaria in her brain.
Weeeeeee!
The newly acquired demon seed.
The heart of the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong is divided.
Little Jin Cheon-hee felt like they were happy to have a comrade to share with them.
‘what…? ‘Am I going crazy?’
They are all derived from the Xuanyuan Zhendan Divine Technique, but they are happy. This means that each and every one of the little Jin Cheonhees has their own ego…
‘That can’t be possible.’
The little Jin Cheon-hee whispered at the same time, and Jin Cheon-hee unconsciously nodded as if she were being hypnotized.
‘…that’s right. That can’t be possible. This is just a phenomenon of Xuanyuan Zhendan Shen Technique and Yang Yi Shen Technique.’
Anyway, Jin Cheon-hee stood up while using it to grind down the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.
“There must be a lot to prepare before you go. “I guess there’s a lot to ask of the members of the research party?”
“okay. “I’ll take plenty with me.”
“Master. “I have a lot to prepare, so could you please lend me Yuho?”
“I guess so. “Yuho is an expert at packing.”
So I decided to leave the preparation to Yuho.
“All right. “Master, I will have a nice trip to the medical exchange meeting.”
“okay. Have a nice trip. By the way, this time, take the head of the Sima family with you.”
“The head of the Sima clan?”
Sima Hui.
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widen slightly.
“okay. I heard that there is something I want to study among the Sacheondanga’s poisons. “They say that if done well, it will be of great use to the Rehabilitation Party.”
Now that I think about it, didn’t Sima Hye admire Dang A very much?
‘Wow, what a meeting of legends.’
Dang-ah, the king of blood, and Sama-hye, the head of the regeneration clan.
Will an all-time great team be completed?
“All right. “I will have a safe trip, disciple!”
Jin Cheon-hee bowed to his teacher.
* * *
Medical exchange meeting.
This is an event so important that it is one of the most important events in the National Assembly.
In a world without a thesis system, exchanging medical techniques is very important.
‘New medical friends are always welcome!’
However, this time, it was said that there was an epidemic, so Jin Cheon-hee formed a special group.
First, 100 members of the Baeklin Dae were selected, and 200 members were selected from the Cheonglin Dae. A total of 300 people were selected.
It has the power to wipe out quite a few small and medium-sized sects.
Neither the enemies of the Yangtze River nor the bandits of the Taishan Mountains would dare to attack.
And there are thirty congressmen accompanying us.
There, the wagon was filled with luggage.
They also brought various medicinal herbs and medical devices that were up-to-date by the standards of this era.
And one of them is very special.
It is a carriage equipped with manufacturing and workshop facilities that can make medicine!
A truly mobile manufacturing workshop!
Moving Medical Lab!
Of course, you can’t make it while moving; you have to park it and start making it, but just having this function is innovation.
Baekrin’s signature state-of-the-art medical devices!
Centrifuge! cooler! Etc!
It’s very affordable!
In addition, I packed a lot of the medicine I made this time in a separate cart.
“It’s almost completed, but it hasn’t been revealed to the world yet.”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to further compensate for the side effects if we interact with Sicheondangmun this time?”
“Hehehe, my bad boy. “It’s writhing in the darkness.”
There were already researchers who were Sichuanists at heart.
That’s why I had such high expectations for the exchange meeting with Sacheon Dangmun.
‘And looking at it, what is Namgung doing right now?’
Suddenly I thought of him.
After it was revealed that Zhou Yingying was a spy for the Demonic Cult, the Namgung family was strangely quiet.
At that time, Sima Hui came running towards Jin Tianxi.
“Eun-gong! “How did your brother know that he sent me a bunch of Blood King accessories!”
Sima Hui’s hands were wrapped in bandages.
Of course, it is not for dressing. This is just for ‘coolness’.
‘Dang fashion?!’
Sima Hui said.
“Let’s do silver balls together!”
It was only then that Jin Cheon-hee realized why Nam Gung-un came to mind.
Because he was one of the best manipulators in the world.
Sima Hui said.
“Kkeukkk. The main throne is the King of Blood. He is a dark assassin who seeks blood. Come on, you foolish charlatans of light!”
“….”
All of the lawmakers gathered there looked at the leader of the Rebirth Party.
