Episode 555
“….”
The Master stared at his disciple for a long time without saying a word.
Jin Cheon-hee had no idea what that gaze meant, but at least she knew that the Master had entered his own world.
Made of blood, swords and resourcefulness.
It’s a world that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
And I also thought that maybe that could be a way to organize my thoughts from the past.
As if Jin Cheon-hee’s guess was correct, the Master told his story in a strange way.
“In the past, in order to treat the nine syllable veins, I studied how to use Bingjeong’s Geumyin device to bring about the principle of counteracting the effects of water.”
There was a time in the past when I was wondering if there was a way to live a little longer.
“When you say, ‘Things must be destroyed’, you are trying to use the principle that when all things reach their peak, they always return to the opposite direction.”
“okay. It did. At that time, I was at a time when I had not yet given up hope. If even a miasma can be called hope, this can be said even more so. Of course, in the end, as you know, it failed.”
When Jin Cheon-hee met him, wasn’t he still a syllable and wasting away day by day?
Zhuge Lin looked into Qin Tianxi’s blue eyes.
I looked into my past as a child, thinking about what I would look like there.
The days when I struggled to do something because if I didn’t do it, I would die anyway.
“In order to study it, I needed ice crystals, and I visited the North Sea Ice Palace to get them. Of course, I had no intention of being welcomed. These hands were already filled with the blessings of countless people. “Salsu always followed me.”
It wasn’t easy to sleep at two o’clock.
At that time, Zhugelin would fall asleep while sitting with his sword in his arms.
The days were hard to bear as the chill seeped into my cold body, but there was nothing I could do.
Because I couldn’t even think of the luxury of lying on a pillow, let alone a blanket.
For some, life may be like a tasteless breakfast that they reluctantly receive, but for others, it is something that is difficult to obtain even if they throw everything at it.
I fought each day to survive.
Even worrying about how I was born was a luxury.
I could hear the sound of death breathing in my ears. It was cold and slow.
It was Jegalin’s own breathing.
On the way to the North Sea Ice Palace, some faces passed by, but I didn’t tell my disciple about that. Jegalin only said the conclusion.
“Shall I say it was heavenly luck?… Coincidentally, an infectious disease was rampant in the North Sea Ice Palace.”
“What was that?”
“It’s common. It was a parasite. In the northern region, it is cold and difficult to obtain nutrients, so the culture of eating raw animal livers has developed. Parasites are widespread.”
“okay.”
“Of course, humans still live. Do you now understand why the average life expectancy in the North is less than two years old?”
“yes.”
“However, during that time, parasites that would normally have been found in remote areas of the West were discovered, and the plague grew even bigger. When I think about it now, I wonder if that was also one of the tricks of the Blood Mission or the Demon Cult, but I guess we can’t know that.”
Zhugelin’s long silver hair shook.
“The North Sea Ice Palace’s Ice White God is a martial art of the Extreme Yin Keeper, so with just one level of inner strength, it can freeze and kill parasites. Therefore, it is not a big problem for the warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace. But what about the ordinary people who serve them?”
“A lot of people must have died.”
“okay. At that time, I treated them. Of course it wasn’t free. I decided to get an ice crystal sword instead. “At that time, I was very disillusioned with humanity and did not want to treat someone for free.”
Jin Cheon-hee swept the handle of the sword hanging on his waist.
Because it was a secret story related to the ice crystal sword.
“The Ice Sword is a new weapon from the North Sea Ice Palace. I agreed to receive it in return for treating them, and they agreed to give it to me. However, Sogungju objected. Originally, he should have inherited this ice crystal sword, but he was angry because Hyeolrin decided to take it away.”
Master rubbed his eyes with his hands.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“I guess it was decided with a sword.”
“okay. The last one was decided to be a dance. And in the end, he became a handful of blood on my hands. It was also because, with my skills at the time, there was no way to subdue him without killing him…”
Jegalin swallowed his tea once and continued speaking.
“…At that time, I felt disillusioned with humanity again. That’s why I put the ice crystal sword in the middle of my unarmed weapon and walked away.”
“It seems that time has passed and Master has returned in good health.”
“okay. There has been a change in the mind of the North Sea Ice Palace Lord. I thought it was to get revenge on Lord Sogung, but now it seems like that wasn’t the case. It was his own way of organizing his feelings. Even so, I will never use that sword again.”
‘yes. ‘Because once Master is offended, he doesn’t look at me a second time.’
You’re strong enough even without a new recruit in the first place, so there’s no reason to covet him.
“That ice crystal sword saved your life several times, so now I think it was a good thing I saved someone’s life back then. “Didn’t the kindness at that time turn around and save my student?”
It was also a story of a strange powerhouse.
“okay. In the end, I did well to save all the civilians at that time. Hee-ya.”
Zegalin raised his blue eyes and stroked his disciple’s head.
“But even if that happens, you will never be greeted with a friendly face.”
“I know.”
“And the blood of that one person that I sprinkled back then is calling to you again.”
Benevolence goes around and saves the disciple, and resentment goes around and calls the disciple.
Zhugelin feels an inevitable fate.
It was like the physiology of a powerhouse that even Jegalin, who was called a genius, could not escape.
“If you want to persuade the North Sea Ice Palace, you will have to put in quite a bit of effort.”
“All right. “Master.”
“I will bring you a gift, so please tell me that you have brought me a gift in return for the gift you received back then. If you do that, even the Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace will not be able to treat you carelessly. “I wear the ice crystal sword in a place where I can see it well.”
When the news that Jegalin survived thanks to his disciple spread throughout the rivers.
Binggungju He finished clearing Eunwon by sending the Bingjeonggeom.
“You have to prepare a lot before going. Hwanggu will help. “This is especially true in snowy fields and wild animals where horses have difficulty running, as young animals like Hwanggu can run with their owners just by changing their shoes.”
This means that if you think it’s dangerous, jump out.
“yes. “I will also request information from Gyeonggi and Haomun in advance.”
“okay. “I guess so.”
The conversation ends there.
The Master gave a congratulatory command to his disciple.
“I want to be alone for a while.”
“yes.”
Jin Cheon-hee bowed to the teacher and left the room.
Zhuge Lin looked at his disciple’s back for a long time.
“In the end, everything that started with me will come back. (出乎爾者 anti-乎爾者也)”
After finishing telling an old story that he would not have told his disciple, Zhuge Lin was deep in thought for a long time.
It was also a reminiscence to Hyeol-rin from his younger days.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee first gave vacation to the members of the Research Building.
‘Now it will be decided who will stay and who will leave.’
Many members of the House of Representatives will be promoted to the Upper House.
You will be wondering whether to stay at Baekrin Uigak, go to the pavilion, or go down to Bunta and aim for Buntaju.
In this day and age, going down to Bunta in your hometown is quite a popular option.
It is quite rewarding to let your parents and relatives know how much you have grown and how great you have become.
As a result, the number of people entering government offices has surprisingly decreased.
‘I never thought of this.’
At first, many members of the upper chamber joined the government due to their longing for a career in government, but they often suffered from political fights and returned to Baekrin Uigak.
Of course, there are a few surviving seniors, but it is not easy.
And the number of options remaining in the research building as a council member is increasing.
In particular, many lawmakers who are single make decisions like that.
People who don’t have very good memories of their hometown, don’t have a hometown, or find politics or human relationships difficult may refuse to pursue a career in government and want to stay the way they are now.
Although it’s a small number, there are also aspiring mad scientists who are just crazy about research.
These people remain in the research building as council members and are people with an aptitude for studying and research.
He is also a thankful person who reduces the workload of Yoo Ho and Jin Cheon-hee.
If there is research you want to do on your own, we provide a separate building for research.
And they are good at seducing the members of the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives and turning them into research slaves.
‘Normally, I think a lot about what I’m going to do during the few years I’m in the research building, but it’s still a time to make decisions. ‘It’s all a vacation.’
Whether you go back to your hometown or stay stuck in a lodging somewhere and spend your time fishing in a pond, isn’t it meaningful to rest?
And in the empty research building, Cheonhee Jin organized her thesis.
“Isn’t it easy?”
I raised my head when I heard a familiar voice, and Yuho was there.
“Why am I resting? “I came in after playing.”
Yuho chuckled at those words.
“I heard that they stopped by villages on the way to do medical work. And since you’re at work as soon as you arrive, aren’t you biologically bound to rest as a human being?”
“Oh Director Yoo~ Are you worried about me?”
Yuho responded to those words with a cold face.
“Oh, that’s it. Whether I die from overwork or not is none of my business. “You idiot.”
Quang!
Close the door loudly.
“Yuho yuho!”
He hurriedly opened the door and spoke in a voice dripping with regret.
“I finished Cheonilchwi (天一醉). Do you want to drink it?”
“How did you finish drinking in the meantime?”
“huh. I’ll come see you for a drink. And I’ll be out. enjoy it.”
After saying that, he quickly runs off somewhere.
Looking at Jin Cheon-hee’s empty seat, there were papers being organized, a list of special rewards to be sent to each council member, and recommendation forms piled up.
‘You were practicing your handwriting.’
It is called the New Testament.
In particular, people in the government sector often judge a person’s character by his or her handwriting, so the person recommending it must also have good and beautiful handwriting in order to be considered cultured.
As a result, it seems that I was repeatedly practicing idioms that are often used in letters of recommendation.
Kids going, don’t be discouraged.
‘I don’t have the personality to write a famous sentence with one stroke like my master. The bastard.’
Perhaps I am making up for my lack of understanding with effort.
The effort is not something great, but rather boring repetition after repetition.
The midfielder calls him a genius and a madman, but in the end, he is essentially this type of guy.
A practice bug that is foolishly honest.
Yuho’s impressions that he has watched since he was young.
Yuho roughly sorted through the papers that were scattered around like a crazy person’s hair.
How much time has passed? See below for ‘Yooho! Ready! The words ‘Come to the annex!’ rang out.
