Episode 189
I can feel my painful bones and muscles recovering.
The swelling in my wrist also started to go down.
This is the result of lying still all day and recovering with the Five Elements Movement.
‘Are all warriors living like this?’
He is a doctor himself and knows how to treat his body in the worst case scenario. However, elderly people like Mudang Kwonje do not listen well to lawmakers.
Then, he throws himself in search of someone stronger.
For Kang Ho-in, martial arts is something that is infinitely close to madness.
That’s probably why, on the border between life and death, they risk their lives without hesitation in order to get at least some piece of their life.
I slept and woke up repeatedly.
When Hwang-gu woke up screaming from time to time, he whined and snuggled into Jin Cheon-hee’s arms.
‘The Buddhist teachings are damaged.’
Jin Cheon-hee’s wrist was shattered and the Buddhist instrument was also damaged. It’s even stranger that he came out unscathed in that battle.
In order to communicate with spirits, you must concentrate your inner power more than before.
However, since Hwanggu and Noejin were already on the same page, there was no problem in communicating without having to use Dharmagu.
Naturally, the number of times I used it started to decrease.
‘Well, if necessary, you can talk as much as you want, considering the consumption of internal energy.’
Jin Cheon-hee thought about that and lay down again.
Kiing.
Hwanggu placed his chin on Jin Cheonhee’s stomach.
“are you okay. “I’m fine.”
My whole body is wet from the nightmare I just had. Still, the number of waking up decreased compared to the first night.
As your body recovers, your mind will also recover.
No one gets hurt.
Life is a process of constant damage and regeneration.
When we can no longer regenerate, we accept death.
‘If I rest a little more, my mind will recover.’
Of course, scars would remain. However, the invincible soul taunted itself that it was also life.
“It’s uncomfortable like this, so I need to wash it up.”
Wow!
“Are you going to wash too?”
Kkeung kung!
“okay. Follow me.”
Noejin is the type that needs time to himself, but Hwanggu doesn’t have time to himself.
This guy’s happiness in life is being with his owner.
This is probably due to the dog’s instinct that has evolved along with human history.
Even if you don’t think about it that much, you always end up losing to those kind and kind eyes.
Jin Cheon-hee gathered a change of clothes and opened the door.
widely.
“hmm?”
It’s locked.
I looked for the lock and there was nothing like it. It has a structure that locks from the outside.
Tap, tap.
I tried opening it a few more times, but it was clear. This sound. It’s also blocked by something pretty solid.
At that time, I heard something moving outside.
Clack-
I unlocked the lock outside and Cheon-woo came in striding.
“Oh bro. Are you going out?”
“Cheonwoo. “Why is this locked?”
Cheonwoo laughed bitterly at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“ha ha ha. Brother, don’t work. “I can’t go out until everything heals.”
I never thought I would say that confidently. However, it is a bit difficult to spit on a smiling face.
“Do you think everything is better than this?”
“I will decide on that after the councilor comes in the morning and hears his opinion. “Anyway, I can’t go out.”
Cheonwoo spoke clearly.
“How about I take a bath?”
“There is a bathtub in the annex, so we use it. “It’s a place used by precious guests, so it has everything you need.”
Was there such a thing? Since I was lying down, I couldn’t figure out the structure.
“Well, I know that even if I lock it like this, my brother can get out if he wants. I know. But I saw him fall once, and I don’t want to see him again. You know what I mean, right? brother.”
Cheonwoo spoke more maturely than usual.
Jin Cheon-hee scratched the back of her head and looked back at the annex.
I didn’t realize it because I was lying down all this time, but the size of the outbuilding was considerably bigger than I thought.
This is Jin Cheon-hee, who has made great contributions to shamanism.
It seemed like they couldn’t afford to neglect it, so they gave it the best outbuilding.
“If you need water, they will always add warm water. “When the shaman elders are sick, they take medicine here.”
Cheon-Woo called the practitioners and made preparations in advance for Jin Cheon-Hee to take a bath.
When I went inside, there was a steaming soup ready.
It was also quite large so that several people could fit in it.
‘I understand why elders go in when they are sick.’
It is quite a luxury to have such a large bath to yourself.
Moving water also requires labor. Because heating it also takes labor.
Herbs that are good for recovery were floating in the bath.
I gave up trying to calculate how much this herb cost.
Maybe it was because I had just recovered from a big battle, but my head wasn’t working very well.
As soon as I entered the bath, my muscles began to relax one by one.
Wow! Cry!
Hwanggu just jumped.
with a splash!
As if the hot water felt good, I dog-swam and followed Jin Cheon-hee in.
Indoors, the size of the body has been reduced with a muscle ball, so it is about the size of an ordinary dog.
Jin Cheon-hee hugged the damp Hwanggu.
“Would you like to come in too?”
“Is that okay?”
“You brought water too.”
“Of course I have to help too. “It’s for my brother.”
Jin Cheon-hee also wanted to move the water, but Cheon-woo flatly refused.
It wasn’t just Cheonwoo.
Practitioners also strongly emphasized that it is not the law to make patients work.
In the end, after waiting like a turtle, I came in fully prepared.
‘It must have been a long way before water pipes were invented.’
It’s not even the hot spring area where Baekrin Uigak is located.
In this era, warm water was a very precious resource.
Cheonwoo went into the bathhouse with his older brother at his urging.
Perhaps because it was so large, it was overflowing with water.
“You take off your blindfold in the bathhouse.”
“yes. “If you get too much moisture, it will cause a strange smell, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“I’ll make you a new one.”
Cheonwoo’s left eye was a more faded color than his right eye.
As Jin Cheonhee looked at him with pitiful eyes, Cheonwoo shook his head.
“I’m telling you this, but it’s okay. brother.”
“I wish I could treat it.”
“It’s okay.”
Cheonwoo’s facial expression made me burst into laughter.
“Still, I’m glad he grew up healthy. And I’m glad you survived without being seriously hurt this time.”
“….”
Cheon-Woo stared at Jin Cheon-Hee and wondered if there was something he wanted to say, but eventually swallowed it.
“It’s bland.”
Cheonwoo responded to Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“I really hope your brother gets better quickly.”
“Everything is better.”
“Next time, I will become stronger so that my brother doesn’t get hurt.”
“OK.”
Wow!
Hwanggu panted and licked Cheonwoo’s face.
“Hwanggu really likes you a lot.”
After saying that, I laughed out loud on purpose. As I laughed, I felt my heart move.
That day, Jin Cheon-hee finally slept until morning without having a nightmare.
It was the first time since the blood death.
* * *
The next morning. The congressman finally declared that our head of Busuldang was completely cured.
The next thing he said was something Jin Cheon-hee always said.
“Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco. Avoid going to dangerous places if possible. No matter how heavy the martial arts silverware is, the body is the most important. Lord Incinerator.”
Every time I hear something I said to someone else, I feel sad.
‘What should I do now?’
It would take at least a week to get from Baekrin Uigak to here at the fastest.
It will take longer as they say there will be an infestation. The only way to escape was now.
At that time, Cheonwoo grabbed Jin Cheonhee by the chin from behind.
“I believe you will wait until Baekrin Uiseon comes. brother.”
“Ugh… Cheonwoo. “You’re quick-witted.”
You sensed Jin Cheon-hee running away and caught him.
It wasn’t usually a high level number.
Sure enough, the voice of a practicing Taoist was heard, announcing that his teacher, Zegalin, had arrived.
‘already…?!’
Jin Cheon-hee’s face turned blue.
* * *
As soon as Jegalin saw his disciple, before greeting him, he grabbed his wrist and took his pulse.
The teacher’s expression was frozen for a moment and he sighed.
“It’s true that everything has recovered.”
“It’s natural because of who I am. There were no serious injuries to begin with. “Master.”
“If it rains for a while, your wrists will get cold.”
‘Ugh…!’
Indeed, it is Master. You can find out that much with only a short pulse.
“So, I see you came early. “I thought it would take at least two more days.”
“When it comes to moving long distances, Yuho is faster than this teacher. So I got help.”
Yuho spoke from behind Jegalin as if chewing.
“I’m having a hard time because of that bastard.”
I didn’t forget to say a word of fatigue and hatred.
Jin Cheon-hee paid no heed to Yu-ho’s hatred.
‘Can Yuho at least use Chukjibeop? Hmm… that’s good information. ‘I’ll have to remember that.’
The hateful bastard calmly added one more function to Yuho.
Master went out to meet Lord Uigak for a while.
The only ones left in the room were Jin Cheon-hee and Yu-ho. Just the two of us.
Meanwhile, Jin Cheonhee quickly asked.
“And what about research?”
“Nothing will happen if you leave it there for a while.”
“….”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheon-hee just washed his face, and a tendon appeared on Yu-ho’s forehead.
“Is his cultivation more important than your own life?”
“Of course my life is more precious. It’s precious! Although it is precious! Culture is culture!”
I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about.
All I could feel was endless, obsessive madness.
Jin Cheon-hee continued.
“I believe it too. Trust our senators! “I believe it!”
“…Then have some faith. If we fail, will only the idiots be divided? I am also divided. “I’m sick of the thought of having to stay up all night alone with you again.”
“I agree, Yuho. Still, I could feel the sincerity in that voice.”
Jin Cheon-hee’s expression became brighter.
Even though the members of the upper chamber could not believe it, they believed in Yuho’s hatred.
If you fail, it’s all night.
A vigil with no one else but the most hateful person.
Neither Yoo Ho nor Jin Cheon-hee welcomed it.
“I still think I have some affection for Yuho.”
“….”
At those words, Yuho made an expression of extreme disgust.
Professor Jin was hurt by the assistant’s expression.
“This is too much. Yes we are! By doing research like this! “We are discovering new knowledge for humanity!”
“Whether you search for humans or not…”
At that moment, the door swung open. Master and Shaman Gwonje came in together.
“So are you nagging me? You’re nagging me! huh! A giant drone can roll around a bit. “Isn’t that what happened because So Baekryong survived and became stronger in the end?”
Elder Gwonje grumbled at Jegalin.
Jegalin was about to say something to Emperor Gwon when Jin Tianxi caught his gaze.
I couldn’t bear to show my true nature in front of my students, so I eventually sighed.
“Haa….”
Elder Gwonje continued speaking.
“Listen. Ultimately, a disciple is like a seed. If you grow it like an orchid, it becomes an orchid. If you grow it like a weed, it becomes a weed. What you want to do is make it out of orchids. It will be beautiful, but it will wither quickly.”
“….”
“How long do you think you can live with Onyanaona at Baekrin’s Pavilion? Even after you are gone, your disciple must continue to live. Anyone who has ever lived as someone else’s orchid has no choice but to live like that for the rest of their lives. If that happens, you will die.”
“Are you talking about your experience?”
Emperor Gwon’s expression hardened at Jegalin’s command.
