Episode 1156
And the rugged remote area of Shanxi Province with its strangely shaped rocks.
That corner.
Samjeolchuho was standing in front of a large pillar with the Eight Trigrams drawn on it.
The pillar was made of translucent crystal.
In it.
The younger brother of Samjeolchuho, who was once Geumcheongun, was sealed with his eyes closed.
“Phew…”
And strange energies were coming from all directions to the pillar with the Bagua drawing on it.
The pillar constantly absorbs energy and shines.
“Everyone wants a miracle in desperate situations. Everyone wishes for hope in the midst of despair. So I can’t help but do that, and everyone can’t help but do that…”
A weak muttering.
Samjeolchuho muttered that and took his eyes off the pillar and headed in another direction.
It seemed like he sensed something.
Or acting as if you saw something.
“also. It seems that the Heavenly Demon has no intention of letting the ritual be completed. Hasn’t the successor come here? Besides, Jin Cheon-hee, did you come here too?”
Samjeolchuho laughs bitterly.
As if by fate, everything comes together.
she grumbles.
“okay. If you think about it, there hasn’t been any easy path so far. Is this also natural? But…”
His body, which was originally thin as a thorn, became even thinner.
It felt like there was only minimal muscle and skin on top of a boneless body.
It looks like the erosion hasn’t even been done properly.
Nevertheless, Samjeolchuho’s eye light is so spectacular that there are only a handful of people in Gangho who can stare directly into her eye light.
Samjeolchuho slowly approached the pillar and touched it.
Woooooung –
An energy in the shape of a tiger appears above the pillar and roars.
“Hehe. Cheonhee Jin. can you stop me If you are late, your precious brothers might die here. But either way, my wish will come true…”
Samjeolchuho laughs softly.
It was a smile that only someone who had let go of everything could make.
‘Is the end coming?’
It is the one who has begun to let go of humanity.
It was also his last journey.
* * *
‘Samjeolchuho said that the family traces were cut off at Otaesan, I guess?’
Wutaishan Mountain is famous as a Buddhist holy site in Shanxi Province.
It is even named Otaesan because it has five famous mountain peaks.
There were hundreds of temples here alone.
It is said that there were over 300 at its peak.
Nowadays, half of them are still intact, but the other half is abandoned and in ruins.
Therefore, this Otaesan area is where people who want to make a pilgrimage to Buddhist holy sites always flock.
Otaesan Mountain is located in the northern part of Shanxi Province.
On the way, you have to pass through Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.
And Jin Cheon-hee, who entered Taewon, frowned.
“Elder, please give me just one meal. “There is a child at home starving to death.”
“If you give me something like rotting food, I will eat it well.”
There are many people begging on the streets.
And there are people who look hungry walking along the roadside.
For some reason, the bodies of the dead people in the village disappear, and several people who almost starved to death come back to life.
A living hell.
“okay. “It starts here.”
“yes. Even if my brother beat up the fighting guys and made them quiet. “Because commerce does not recover all at once.”
Cheonwoo said.
“This is… miserable.”
Cheonwoo’s eyes are shaking.
Did it remind me of myself when I was younger?
“Huh… I guess I’ll have to try to rob the rich people’s warehouses like I did with the eldest son last time. And then meet Seongju and get some relief.”
We plan to rob it through legal procedures.
Because you can’t commit phantom theft every time.
Sima Hyun said.
“I guess that means peeing on frozen feet?”
“But I still have to do it. “If we leave it alone, more people will die.”
Jin Cheon-hee himself now knows.
Just because the powerful factions become quiet does not mean the world runs in an orderly manner.
Isn’t that the case with Earth in the first place?
Has the world really become quiet without martial arts?
Aren’t the weak persecuted?
‘When the warlords disappeared, there would be even more chaos right away.’
Sometimes evil maintains order.
And it would be nice if goodness took root in that vacuum, but usually more evil returns.
The congressman laughed bitterly.
Cheonwoo said.
“I will go to a sect in Taewon run by a lay disciple of the shaman sect. “I’m going to have to get some support.”
“I feel reassured.”
Sima Hyun also said:
“I’m going to go to the Golden Battlefield and try to get some money~”
“But if you take money from the door, you’ll get stabbed later, so be careful.”
Suddenly, Jin Cheonhee realized that she had spoken in the tone of a teacher without realizing it.
‘Haha, is this what it feels like?’
Some things move.
Funny enough, the world is fair.
It does not spread only bad things such as diseases or mold.
The more consideration and concern they receive, the more they move on.
‘Master’s tone of voice transferred to me.’
Those worries and those feelings-
“Okay. “Let’s meet at the guesthouse after everything is finished.”
What would Master be doing right now?
* * *
“This is Ugeun (于根), where I am inaugurated as the governor of Seongju. Although it is a chaotic time, I sincerely welcome the visit of Cheomdo Inspector Jin Cheon-hee.”
Seongju introduced himself as a descendant of Wu Jin, one of Cao Cao’s generals.
If you ask the question, what does it matter on modern Earth? Some people might answer that we are all children of the stars.
These things are pretty important here.
“okay.”
Although it is said that the emperor’s favor for Jin Cheon-hee is sky-high.
Since the Lord of Seong held a higher official position than the Eosa of Cheomdo, courtesy was observed here.
Even so.
‘For some reason, he looks expectant?’
Strange.
What on earth do you expect from yourself?
“This is Jeon Cheon-hee, the chief inspector. “I am working far away in Baeklin County in the position of governor… but please keep in mind that I am now here as a Cheomdo magistrate.”
“Of course. Is there any official who does not know that His Majesty the Emperor favors you? Moreover, there is not a single official who does not know that you are one of the four great gods in the world.”
Instead of emphasizing his own feats, I saw that he emphasized that Jin Cheon-hee was faithful.
It didn’t seem like he was simply asking to report his performance to the emperor.
Jin Cheon-hee got a sense right away.
‘Ah, it looks like there’s a patient.’
In this situation, a direct ball would be better.
Jin Cheon-hee immediately asks a question.
“I know that not everyone likes it when a Cheomdo inspector comes to visit, but… do you have any patients?”
Right on target.
Seongju Woo-geun answered with a somber look on his face.
“Of course, Master Jin Cheomdo is extraordinary. exactly. “The main house’s child… has an incurable disease.”
Incurable disease?
Some of the incurable diseases of this era were treatable with modern technology.
Conversely, there have been cases where things that were difficult with modern medicine could be treated with Qigong therapy.
However, what cannot be done cannot be done.
Jin Cheon-hee answered while keeping that in mind.
“Huh…. Okay. Let me see the doctor. But that’s not why I came.”
“I also heard the rumor. It must be because of food. Although he is a government official, he is also a great charlatan of a powerful king… Isn’t that right?”
I could hear a bit of impatience in his voice.
Since Jin Cheon-hee said he was stopping by nearby, he must have looked into this in advance.
It’s not that we don’t know how parents feel when their children are sick.
“You know very well. “Do you know what happened to Hwajin?”
“I already heard it. However… No matter how much the Emperor loves you, Jin Cheomdo, please be careful.”
‘Hoo?’
Meanwhile, it was full of people who were busy flattering Jin Cheon-hee.
It was the first time anyone spoke to me in this way.
Seongju continued speaking.
“Everyone knows what great achievements Cheomdo has made, but it can be seen in the wrong direction. “A strong man working together and a government official working together are completely different things.”
jealousy?
It wasn’t.
There was genuine worry in his eyes.
Advice given because he knows the officials who keep Jin Cheon-hee in check in the royal court.
‘I thought you were going to flatter me, but instead, you’re worrying me like this.’
Since the child’s life is at stake, it would not be enough to act like a tongue in the mouth, so instead, he speaks out the right words.
People like this are precious.
And as precious as it was, I also thought that if I continued to do that, I might be disliked by my superiors and get demoted.
“You are a good person. Excellent.”
Still, when I answer honestly, he blushes.
“It is absurd to think that this person is a good person. In the end… I couldn’t do anything special in this incident…”
Although he is the lord of the castle, he is the one who eats the rust of the country.
He is not in a position to move the top ten of the world like Jin Cheon-hee.
From Seongju’s point of view, he envied Jin Cheon-hee.
I’m worried because the superiors’ control is so severe.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“great. First, please release the victims on a large scale and implement strict crackdowns to prevent those who exploit the victims. “You can sell my name.”
Chumdo Inspector is here!
Even if you just let people know this, the number of embezzlement cases will be greatly reduced.
especially.
If it is announced that Jin Cheon-hee, who is reputed to be a madman, is here, things will proceed more strictly.
“I will handle it that way.”
“Then let’s go to relieve the Lord of Seong’s self-control.”
Seongju’s voice brightens at those words.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
Jin Cheonhee sighed inwardly.
‘This person is still an official who can be called a good man. However, if this person had been Tamgwan Duck, would I have gotten up so readily and gone to see a doctor?’
The agony of being a lawmaker.
Jin Cheon-hee shakes his head.
‘As a result, I would have provided medical treatment.’
Instead, having to pay for your sins only adds to the hassle.
‘That’s enough.’
In that way, the lawmaker dismisses one concern too easily.
It means that you have become an adult.
* * *
The patient was a boy who had just reached adulthood.
He was thin and emaciated and could not breathe properly.
Because he had almost no muscles in his body, he had difficulty even moving on his own.
“This is…”
Jin Cheonhee’s expression became somber.
This is because the moment I saw it, I was reminded of a ‘certain disease’ I had seen in my past life.
I stretched out my hand and felt my pulse.
The true energy enters the body, moves slowly, and detects everything inside like a state-of-the-art CT.
As he reached Hyeongyeong, Gigam became even more advanced and brought a lot of information to Jin Cheonhee.
After doing this again and again for a while, he suddenly sighed.
“Haa…”
Seongju’s face hardens at that unusual appearance.
Because you can see that it is never good news.
Therefore, Seongju had to ask as a father.
“The doctor who came before took a look and said it was lateral cord node disease. Is that correct?”
“That’s right…”
Jin Cheonhee clicked her tongue slightly.
Lateral aneurysm.
In fact, the names of the diseases are more diverse.
And, strictly speaking, it was not a disease unique to this world, such as syllable veins.
It was a disease that existed even in modern times and was also an incurable disease.
Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The most famous person suffering from this disease in modern society is Dr. Stephen Hawking, known as a genius theoretical physicist.
‘After the death, there are cautious opinions that it may have been a misdiagnosis of another disease rather than Lou Gehrig’s disease.’
In any case –
‘Write, this is a disease that cannot be cured even in modern times…’ There
are incurable diseases that can be treated with modern technology and incurable diseases that are still impossible.
Of course, Lou Gehrig’s disease was clearly the latter.
“wait a minute. “Let’s get a little more serious.”
Please don’t just do that.
Let’s look at it one more time in even more detail.
However, the results did not change.
He was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, an incurable disease.
This disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is known to be a disease in which motor neurons die for some reason.
What does this mean?
This means that the muscles that move the human body continue to weaken and disappear.
The muscles in the hands, fingers, and legs gradually decrease and disappear.
The muscles used to chew food and breathe are also affected and die.
Eventually, you will no longer be able to walk, talk, or breathe, and at this point you will not be able to survive without a life support device such as an oxygen respirator.
What’s even more damning is that since there is no damage to the brain, intelligence, reason, and consciousness are intact, and even the five senses remain normal.
A disease that leaves one trapped in a prison of an immobile body.
Of course, the state of Lou Gehrig’s disease varies from early to late stages, and some patients stop at a certain level.
however.
Now it seemed like the boy had already progressed to the deep end.
At least I’m breathing now… but if more time passes.
will die
‘Right. It was an incurable disease that was impossible even with modern technology.’
Then what should I do?
Both the patient and his parents looked at Jin Cheon-hee, who was worried like that, with eyes full of anticipation.
‘…please. God, please…!’
For them, the doctor in front of them was their final salvation. My
fingertips
were shaking just waiting for this silence.
A moment that seems like an eternity.
Finally.
The divine doctor who finished the treatment opens his eyes!
