Episode 8. Ride the rapids and cross the valley.
Surprisingly, Song Myeong-cheon woke up and, looking at him, hit him on the back with a stick.
Or maybe he wasn’t sleeping to begin with.
“Innoom-! If you’re going to do it, you have to do it right. What are you doing? “If you move carelessly during meditation training, you are likely to fall victim to the evil spirit.”
Oh my, that sinister old man. Who asked you for help and when?
Why are you waking up at night and making a fuss?
However, in the meantime, I felt that the 3D human body model was also writhing as if it were a simultaneous screen.
It looked as if he was taking pictures of himself with a camera.
Anyway, I can’t get hit again!
Han Ibi turned on the light in her eyes and observed the situation.
When I looked closely, I saw something in the danjeon area of the doll model picture.
A green fire that looked like gas or liquid flickered.
‘wow. I guess that’s the basic magic possessed by Zhongrimae.’
At that time, Song Myeong-cheon spoke.
“It is the mind that controls true energy, so ultimately, true energy is connected to the mind. True energy is closely connected to the head, limbs, and five organs and six parts of the body, so true energy can be said to be the body. So in the end, the mind is the body. “Jingi is nothing more than a carriage to transport the mind.”
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?
If you read martial arts novels, you always hear something like this.
‘Anyway, whether the Chinese are at fault or the martial arts writers are at fault, one of the two is the culprit. It’s too complicated. There are a lot of easy words to say, but was it really necessary to do it this way? It’s okay to just say it like this. Jinki moves with the heart.’
Um I see… really? really? really?
Han Ibi decided to immediately put this enlightenment into practice.
As Song Myeong-cheon taught me, I caught my breath and coordinated my inhalation and exhalation.
And as I continued to lengthen the time of inhalation and exhalation, I focused my mind as much as possible on the danjeon.
It’s moving… it’s moving… damn. It seems like some kind of ESP telekinesis training… It’s moving… It’s moving… What!’
Surprisingly, at the moment when the movement was repeated, part of the magic contained in the picture of the 3D human body model wriggled.
It seems like it moved a little while bubbling… with a thud!
But as soon as I lost my mind, the excitement subsided.
‘Huh… this thing is really sensitive.’
Han Ibi focused her mind on Danjeon again. Then, the true spirit finally began to move again.
It felt so good. I almost forgot that my legs were numb.
At that moment, the view of the 3D energy and blood map changed. It was a view from the perspective as if it had become a miracle itself and was traveling through the bloodstream.
It was similar to white water rafting.
Sometimes the passage through which energy circulates was very wide and calm, but at other times it became narrow and the current of true energy was turbulent and sucked in.
‘and! This feels like a racing game. I’m really excited!’
It was like that.
Song Myeong-cheon was right.
The human body was literally nothing more than a passage for energy.
Han Ibi’s true energy began to circulate along the Yangtze Myeongmun Hyeopcheok Jujube Okchimhyeol, the path of the poisonous veins.
However, there was a section of magic, which was ‘Baekhoehyeol’.
It was like a very narrow valley flowing between steep cliffs, so it was rough and sometimes even created whirlpools.
what! Swirl!
‘Joe, you better be careful!’
Han Ibi concentrated all her mind and barely avoided the torpedo-like whirlpool.
However…
there was a huge rock dividing the passage, so the true energy hit it and blocked it.
It was like a sinking boat, unable to proceed any further.
Yes. It was like real rafting.
However, the difference between Ungihaenggong and rafting is that rafting involves falling into the water, but in this case, the true energy flows in the reverse direction at once, causing great harm to the user’s body.
‘Yuck-.’
Blood flowed back deep into my chest. But I couldn’t show my ugly face here.
‘I’m going to have to clean up the road anyway.’
He swallowed the blood again. I felt something like fishy metal, and it made me vomit again.
‘Ha~.’
Han Ibi sighed inwardly. Did you say that it is easy to do a G-jump once, but difficult to do it twice?
That strange taste that scares you when you know it.
‘This is this… Once you enter, you can’t stop. I’ll be amazed.’
Only then did Han Yi-bi understand why there was a setting in a martial arts novel about a colleague standing in for the clan during a fortune-telling performance.
Isn’t it really dangerous!
He took a deep breath and kept his mind calm.
Then, the charm began to bloom again from the 3D human model’s dantian.
The view changed to racing mode again. He started driving.
One had to be careful of the two paths of Baekhoehyeol. Han Ibi used her true energy again and began running through the valley of energy and blood.
The second time I did it, it was easier.
And finally Baekhoehyeol! He avoided the whirlpool and at the same time quickly divided his true energy and used it.
‘It’s a success!’
He used his true skills with all his might. The Indang Eunryohyeol of the Dokmaek and the ascending and lowering of the Immaek passed through.
However, the problem occurred in single blood.
That place at all….
‘Crazy! ‘It’s a waterfall!’
However, it did not have the same charm as Jeju Island’s Jeongbang Waterfall. It was like the Niagara Falls seen in movies and travel programs.
A moment of madness when the ferocity inherent in the soft water is revealed!
“Puhak!”
Han E-bi ended up spraying a large amount of blood on the floor.
It was a time of quiet and intimate study of the internal mind method, so the situation was indescribably terrible.
‘ruined! ‘I’ve been smashed on the back 100 times!’
“I’m sorry.”
However, Song Myeong-cheon’s mood did not seem to be that bad.
A sparkle bloomed in his eyes. He said while stopping Han Ibi from wiping the floor.
“You are doing well. I thought it was just stupid… You can clean it up later, so calm down and try again. “If you overdo it, you’re likely to fall into a coin trap.”
“yes. yes.”
What is this priest-to-priest kind of atmosphere… Anyway, I was lucky that I didn’t get hit on.
At that time, Song Myeong-cheon asked.
“Where is it blocked?”
“At first, it was blocked in the Baekhoehyeol and later in the Danjunghyeol.”
“The acupuncture point you just mentioned is an area that can often cause trouble when practicing. Don’t overdo it and try again.”
“…yes.”
I’m really scared now. But now that Song Myeong-cheon is watching, I have no choice but to do it again.
He composed himself and went into racing mode.
Now it was really easy. I easily passed through the acupuncture points of the poisonous vein and again faced the ascending and lowering stone of the Immaek and the Danjunghyeol.
‘I was embarrassed earlier, but this time it will be a little different.’
He went down the cliff with all his concentration.
Shock when falling. That shock wave caused Jin Qi to go backwards.
How can I… how can I offset this!
If I fell now, it was the same as before, or even worse since it was the second time, and it was clear that I would also fall into the system’s curse.
Lie down for a month! And that too without notice!
That can’t be possible.
Han Ibi became desperate. If it were air instead of water, it wouldn’t have to fall… Ah!
At that moment, Han Ibi came to realization.
‘Qi and blood map’ is a device that visualizes the invisible.
‘The nature of my basic essence as seen through the 3D model is liquid and also gas!’
That moment.
The essence that had been falling like a waterfall instantly turned into fog, like a lie.
Yes. That is a variable that Hanibi can inherently control.
Because ‘truth is the heart.’
You can’t hit the fog. It cannot fall to the ground. Because it defies gravity.
Han Yi-bi passed through the Danjung acupuncture point without incident and was able to make a full recovery and safely circled the passage of the Soju Stream to the perineal acupoint.
He opened his eyes brightly.
My mind feels refreshed and my whole body is overflowing with energy for an unknown reason.
Tiring.

You did it. You did it!
Han Ibi was so excited that she jumped up and raised her arms.
At that time, Song Myeong-cheon’s shout was heard.
“What are you doing so righteously? “I have to wake up early tomorrow and go hiking, so quickly clean up the dirty floor!”
* * *
He was right. Because I woke up early that day too.
As expected, the point of finding the medicine was getting further and further away from the hut.
In a way, it’s only natural that things will be depleted starting from the periphery.
But… It seemed like my body was getting stronger, but chasing after Song Myeong-cheon didn’t get easier at all.
And only today did Han Ebi clearly realize the cause.
As the days passed, Song Myeong-cheon’s hiking speed was getting faster and faster.
So, Song Myeong-cheon has kept pace with him so far. He slowed down to the point where he could barely keep up.
But now he was moving even faster, and Han Yi-bi was barely able to keep up, so she was barely following Song Myeong-cheon, holding her lungs as if they were about to explode.
Same pattern as the first time. This is a pattern that will continue in the future… This is a hellscape from which there is no escape.
Han Ibi felt cold sweat running down her back. It was a huge mistake I made to think that hiking would become easier as I gained more strength.
Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Every sect has basic light techniques. It is even more natural for a military family with the same general tax.
‘Aha! Why didn’t I think of that until now? I’m a genius after all!’
Han Yi-bi, in a situation where she felt like she was going to vomit at any moment due to exhaustion, searched through Zhongli-mae’s memories and found Zhongli’s light-gong technique.
Now that I think about it, Zhongli-mae was lazy and looked down on light-gong techniques. No, the correct expression would be to avoid it.
Jongli Pyopyohaeng (慓豹行).
It is a light technique modeled after the fast movements of a leopard.
As a famous shaman of the past, the technique itself had excellent functions that were above average, but…
Jonglimae’s training had stopped at only the first stage.
‘Ugh… you idiot. Even with this cool Gyeonggong… I somehow ended up synchronizing with this lazy guy…’
Han Yi-bi started activating Zhongli Mei while cursing Zhongli-mae in her mind.
Did you call Gyeonggong a new art that makes your body lighter? It’s not that I didn’t, I really felt my body becoming lighter.
But this time it wasn’t easy to control.
Like a child learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, Han Ibi was running like a dangerous wild animal running wild through the rugged mountains.
Song Myeong-cheon glanced at him and clicked his tongue.
How pathetic he would look in the eyes of a master like that…
It was then.
Is it because I thought too much?
In the end, Han Ibi was unable to control her movements properly and accidentally stepped on a sharp rock and ended up slipping.
Han Ibi flying in the sky.
bang.
“Ouch!”
The shock from my back was transmitted to my entire body.
Han Ibi got up from the floor, ready to be scolded. A terrible pain penetrated her waist and back and spread throughout her body.
At that time, I saw Song Myeong-cheon, who had gone ahead for a while and then returned in an instant.
He was standing perfectly on the sharp rock with one foot, and his momentum was like that of Mt. Taisan, so it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to move even the slightest bit.
