Episode 355. You ate a fistful of this precious thing?
‘Jeokha’ means ‘red sunset’.
It must be a name that reflects the tastes of one of your parents.
Wouldn’t you know if it was your mother?
If the name was given to you because your father likes it, the feeling is different.
My father was an irresponsible man.
I didn’t care and didn’t look into whether the child was being abused by the stepmother.
It is too self-centered to say that it was because of a fatal disease.
If you were in that situation, you would have taken care of your loved ones first.
Anyway, I like ‘Jeokha’, whose author I don’t know, but I liked ‘Namcheon’ just as well.
It is the time when Yeon Jeok-ha is appreciating the Doho (道號) of ‘Namcheon’ given to him.
“By the way, did you take any elixir?”
“A young medicine? no? You skipped dinner because it was late today?”
“I’m saying it because it looks like it has a good complexion. The virtuous spirit also deepens.”
“Can it be? All I ate tonight was a handful of Byeokgok Dan.”
“what? Have you eaten a fistful of Byeokgokdan?”
“yes. why?”
“You bastard, Byeokgokdan eats one grain at a time. Who eats it one fist at a time? If you want to do that, you just have to eat, so why bother making Byeokgokdan?”
“Oh is that so? Then it must be because I ate a lot of Byeokgokdan at once.”
Then, the blue fox shook his head.
“That doesn’t even make sense. Byeokgokdan just fills the stomach and has nothing to do with Seonggi.”
“Really. I only ate a handful of Byeokgokdan, the size of an acorn.”
“what? acorn? Byeokgokdan is just the size of a pea, right? Where did you get that Byeokgok Dan?”
“I found it in a cave without an owner in Namam Palace. It was in a white jar. I brought another handful to eat when I’m hungry, would you like to see it?”
Along with the words, Yeonjeokha took out a bundle of cloth containing Byeokgokdan from his bosom and handed it to Cheongbulno.
‘Oops!’ An exclamation flowed out.
“This is the treasure of the shaman faction, ‘Socheongdan’. You ate a fistful of this precious thing?”
“What is ‘Socheongdan’?”
“Have you seen this ignorant bastard? ‘Socheongdan’ is a panacea for ordinary people, but it is a treasure that gives Murim people ten years of gong power when consumed.”
Unlike Cheongbulno, who was greatly surprised, Yeonjeokha was calm.
Even though I ate one fist, I didn’t get the feeling that my air power increased.
“Oh yeah?”
“The jar was full of ‘Socheongdan’?”
“It wasn’t full, but it was a little less than half. That’s why I thought it was Byeokgokdan.”
Suddenly, the blue-eyed man’s complexion hardened slightly.
“If you are a pharmacist who can make so many ‘Socheongdan’, you must be one of the most talented. If you brought out that person’s stuff without permission…”
“It’s okay. You’ve been dead for a long time. I heard you were lying with a white bone.”
“White bones?”
Cheongbulno looked at Yeonjeokha with devastated eyes.
According to him, it wasn’t stealing, it was a feat of genius.
“Yes, I had a hard time because there was a line on the way to the cave. I went upstairs to ask the owner, but when I went there, there was a white bone lying on the bed.”
“What kind of truth was it?”
Cheongbulno, a natural magician, showed interest in the Jinbeop.
“At first, there was a sudden fog. To the point where I can’t even see an inch ahead. Then came a swarm of snakes. It was so gross that I had no choice but to close my eyes and climb up.”
“Hmm! He must have been a rare genius even among the shaman faction if he had a jinbeop that brought about harmony in the wind and fortune. Hagiya, would you have been good enough to make so many socheongdans?”
“Medicine?”
“Yakseon is the origin of Namam Palace and can be said to be a shamanist legend. The medicine he made is still passed down as a treasure of non-partisans. ‘Taecheongdan’ and ‘Socheongdan’ are representative.”
“Master, could you see if this is a useful medicine?”
I took out a pill the size of chestnuts that I was addicted to.
A heavy silence flowed from the mouth of the blue fireman who was handing over the medicine and examining it carefully.
“Hmm! This looks like ‘Taecheongdan’…. To be honest, I’ve never seen a real one, so I’m not sure. I could recognize ‘Socheongdan’ because I ate one when I was young.”
“Has anyone seen ‘Taecheongdan’?”
“I heard a rumor that the lord of Namam Palace had one. Even if ‘Taecheongdan’ does not exist for him, if he is the ruler of Namam Palace, he will be able to know the identity of this medicine.”
Yeonjeokha also shook his head as if he agreed.
The guru who stood at the top of the apothecary would be the head of Namam Palace, so he must have that kind of discernment.
“Shall I find out?”
“yes. You have to know what to eat or throw away, right? Now, I can’t even sleep one night.”
“Do you remember where the cave is?”
“You want me to bring ‘Socheongdan’?”
“So, can’t we rot the treasures of the shaman faction in a place like that?”
“Isn’t that something from Namam Palace?”
“Uh huh, are we guys? In a big way, everything is non-partisan stuff. If you still have trouble, give a fistful to the lord of Namam Palace. Then you will be very grateful.”
“I think so too.”
I fully sympathized with the words of the old man who lived in the green forest.
“But if you ate that much of ‘Socheongdan,’ your illness should have been cured…”
The young man tilted his head.
I don’t know what kind of boil it was, so I couldn’t cure it even after eating so much ‘Socheongdan’.
“Master. This is actually because I was poisoned with a strange poison.”
I told the story of the three treasures of Jeolmyeong Tang Yun-mang to my master.
“…They say it’s a poison called ‘Nakwoldokjeong’ made from 100 or eight kinds of poison. The person who can completely detoxify this poison is Yakushi Nyorai Baek Il-un, and he went to Namam Palace. That’s why I’ve been searching around Namam Palace.”
“Tsk tsk! such a thing! I only thought you were there to fix your face.”
Cheongbulno couldn’t help but be surprised by the disciple’s story.
Except for the ugly face, it looks normal, but it seems that it was a half-baked return.
‘Nakwol reading is clear. How can you survive that kind of poison?’
Isn’t that a great feat indeed!
“Master, if it is Taecheongdan, can it be detoxified?”
“Okay. Probably not. There is no doubt that Taecheongdan is the ship of heaven and earth, but it is far from a cure.
“It’s okay.”
I gave up my expectations for ‘Taecheongdan’, which is a serial enemy.
Hey, I ate a fistful of ‘Socheongdan’ and there was no improvement. Is it different from ‘Taecheongdan’?
“By the way, all I know is your name is three letters. Would you like to tell me your story?”
He brought up the story of his life, which he had been living in connection with his teacher’s request.
Cheongbulno continuously sighed and admired the disciple’s bizarre life journey.
***
Cheongbulno received Yeon Jeok-ha as a named disciple, but he did not inform Oh-ryong yuk-sa.
It is to make Yeon Jeok-ha focus on finding Baek Il-un.
next day.
Cheongbulno, excited with the joy of receiving a named disciple, said that he would take over the lecture in the morning.
For the masters of the Oryong breeding, it is a situation of ‘non-gaming (不敢請) Lee Eon-jung complaint (固所願)’.
Even if you don’t, you don’t know when you’ll be able to take a look at it.
They wanted to hear him speak one more time before he took the first place.
When it was lecture time, Cheongbulno led Nogu and stood in front of the monks of Ohryonggung.
His gaze passed lightly between the practitioners.
A light smile crossed his lips when he found the enemy.
“Taesangnogun (Lao-tzu) said this about the origin of the Way in ‘Tonghyeonjingyeong’. ‘Hybridity of relics(有物混成) 先天地生(先天地生)’, that is, they are mixed up before the creation of heaven and earth. To put it in words, it is not a clean face like yours, except that the face of that ‘monk’ is the same as the Tao.”
Cheongbulno’s hand pointed at Yeonjeokha.
He called Yeonjeokha a ‘monastic’, but people laughed and didn’t notice.
“Nanhua Jin-in (Zhuang-tzu) said, ‘The highest way is calm and profound [窈窈冥冥] and dark and silent [昏昏基點]’. Just like the true man said, if you do not try to see or hear [无視无聽] and keep your mind in silence [拘神以靜], then your body will naturally be corrected [形將自正]. It is like climbing a cliff with your eyes closed at the moment of desperation.”
The last one was about yesterday’s Yeonjeokha.
I let out a sigh in my heart at the words of the young man.
‘ha! So today I’m going to go through the fog and snakes again?’
Cheongbulno freely went back and forth between ‘Tonghyeonjingyeong’ and ‘Zhuangja’ to preach about the Tao.
He didn’t miss a word, his eyes shining brightly.
Perhaps because it was the teacher’s sermon, it seemed to fit into my ears today.

“What is it?”
Under the cliff of Namamgung, I scratched my head as I was dating.
he has dark eyes
Even so, it’s not to the extent that I can’t even find the way I went yesterday.
However, no matter how much I searched, the cave of yesterday was nowhere to be found.
Just in case, I searched all the caves I recently visited, but the same is true.
I ran up and down the cliff until I was exhausted, but in vain.
As if yesterday’s events were a dream, the cave where the Jinbeop was laid was nowhere to be seen.
In the end, I had to go back to the Dragon Palace to meet the dinner time of the couple.
***
That night.
Ohryonggung.
Cheongbulno looked at Yeonjeokha with a stunned face.
You can’t see yesterday’s White Bone Cave? I don’t know what harmony this is.
“No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it?”
“Yes, I searched all over the place I had been to for the past few days, but there was no such cave.”
“her! Great!”
Cheongbulno let out a continuous sigh.
If it had been done by someone other than Yeon Jeok-ha, I would not have believed it.
But the opponent is in a relationship.
To him, ‘Socheongdan’ was a good medicine.
“Perhaps the connection between you and the cave has ended. It’s a jinbeop that brings harmony to the wind, so it wouldn’t be a job to hide.”
“is that so? If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought the jar with me. It’s a waste.”
“Inseok-ah, even the nine ‘Socheongdan’ you brought out are invaluable. Moreover, if the unidentified drug is ‘Taecheongdan’, the shaman faction will be upset.”
“Nevertheless. I think I screwed up because I was stupid. If you see something good, you have to take care of it so you don’t have any regrets. I am crazy to leave it for later.”
“Ugh! crazy is that your thing? Where did you get this much from Namam Palace? There is nothing to be regretful about because this alone is enough for me.”
When Yeonjeokha couldn’t shake off his regret, Cheongbulno hurriedly changed the subject to magic.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you ask me to teach you the ‘morgue technique’ of the Oryong Palace?”
“yes.”
“Erosion Eye is just the eyes that see ghosts. I know a better way than that.”
For a moment, Yeonjeokha’s eyes, which had withered, became lively.
“really? Even if it’s not, ‘Epiphany Art’ is a bit like that from the name. Kunlunpa’s ‘Shin’an Tong’ sounded plausible.”
Cheongbulno shook his head as if he understood.
Even in my own opinion, the ‘God’s Eye’ seemed more plausible than the ‘Spiritual Eye’.
“Actually, Master Gong Ya-ja and I did not use ‘spiritual eye art’.”
“Then what did you use?”
“It is ‘Tongcheonan’.”
“and! I want to learn that!”
The name ‘Tongcheon’ somehow feels different from other eye methods.
The agitated couple moved their hips.
