Episode 191
Treatment started at noon and did not finish until late at night.
I leaned against the back of the chair, wiping the sweat from my forehead with my sleeve.
‘I’m tired.’
To be honest, I had some anxiety.
This was my first time treating a patient suffering from paralysis.
I knew it was possible in theory, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous because I couldn’t tell what variables would arise in practice.
‘It ended up going well.’
What if treatment failed and the patient’s physical condition worsened?
In the worst case, he may have been accused of being a public enemy of the fortune-telling faction.
‘Anyway, how did a person of this size fall into the evil spirit?’
I clicked my tongue and stood up.
I wanted to stretch out and rest like this, but I needed to finish cleaning up quickly for the sake of those waiting outside.
“······How long have I been asleep?”
The moment you open the window for ventilation.
A cracked voice pierced my ears.
I looked back at the source of the voice with a surprised expression.
Jang Mun-in of the Jeomchang Sect was looking up at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.
‘You’ve already regained consciousness?’
Less than half an hour has passed since the treatment was completed.
But you’re already awake.
It was my first time seeing something like this, so I felt absurd.
“You weren’t asleep.”
“then?”
“During the transport, he fell into a state of intoxication and lost consciousness. She lay in a hospital bed for a long time, unable to wake up. Master Changmyeong has been working on behalf of Jang Moonin.”
“······That’s right. “I was wondering why my body was so weak.”
“Rest and do not move. “You need to take it easy for a while.”
“Anyway, this is the first time I’ve heard that voice. Who the hell are you.”
“The introduction is late. “My name is Yeon-woon, and I am the head of the Sacheon branch of the Murim League.”
“Yeonsoun? “Heavenly Dragon?”
“yes.”
For some reason, I thought the story would be long.
I opened all the windows and sat back down in the chair.
Jang Moon-in struggled to turn his head and look at me.
“A distinguished guest has visited the Jeomchang faction.”
“I hate to say it myself, but from the fortuneteller’s point of view, I probably won’t be a very welcome guest.”
“Why do you think that?”
“I believe you know about what happened between Changin Dojang and me.”
“On the contrary, for that reason, we should treat them more respectfully. “When I heard it, they said it was that guy after giving birth who unilaterally made the mistake.”
I tilted my head at the unfamiliar name and soon realized who the person Jang Moon-in was talking about was.
It was so long ago that I had forgotten about it, but now that I think about it, in the past, when Changin Dojang introduced himself, he used the name ‘Sosanhu’.
“Oh my, I was out of my mind, so I spoke comfortably as if I were talking to the disciples in the text. Please forgive me.”
“it’s okay. I don’t mind, so please be comfortable with me.”
“That can’t be possible. “Isn’t he the head of a faction now?”
“······.”
“I guess I should finish talking about what I’ve been saying for now. I heard that Sanhu hired a group of black swordsmen to attack you. “Is it true?”
“Something like that happened.”
“You have no shame. “All the fault lies with me for not being able to guide the disciple of the main gate to walk the right path.”
“It is not for Jang Moon-in to apologize.”
“Anyone who sits in a position representing a force has an obligation to take responsibility when a problem arises.”
“Apologizing to others is meaningless. “I want to hear the words of apology from Changin Dojang’s mouth.”
“Don’t worry about that part. “I will prepare a separate space for you.”
Jang Moon-in slowly closed his eyes.
I narrowed my eyes and stared at that figure.
Seeing that he was more friendly than I expected made me feel a bit uneasy.
It had been a long time since I had seen such a sage-like person.
“It’s late to ask, but why are you here?”
“You’re expecting it, aren’t you? “It’s to treat arrhythmia.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing being possible to cure a sore throat.”
“But it actually improved Jang Mun-in’s physical condition. “I’m sure you feel it yourself.”
“but. If you think about it, you were the one who cured those who fell into mental illness due to the arrangements of the Demon Cult. “It wouldn’t be surprising if it was said that it could cure vulgaris.”
“I will tell you in advance, but please keep the fact that I treated Jang Mun-in a secret. “If it becomes known that I can treat Juhuaipa, patients from all over the central region will flock to the Sacheon branch.”
“I was planning on doing that even if you didn’t ask me to. “It is not good for the rumor to spread that Jang Mun-in of the Jeomchang sect fell into the magic of coinage and wandered around the world of death.”
“It doesn’t seem like I’m on the verge of death.”
“Rumors tend to grow in size as they are spread.”
Jang Mun-in lets out a small sigh.
As I watched him laughing self-deprecatingly, my curiosity grew even more.
How on earth did a person like this fall into Simma?

“Anyway, I was lucky. “If it wasn’t in the early stages, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”
“May I ask how you treated it?”
“I used one of the elixirs I had.”
I naturally lied.
Since no one witnessed the treatment scene anyway, there was nothing to worry about.
“Elixir? “Are you saying you wasted that precious thing on the treatment of an old man you’ve never seen before?”
“I’m treating no one else but Jang Mun-in of the Jeomchang Sect, so wouldn’t it be a waste to use elixirs?”
There was nothing good about knowing that brain energy could be used to cleanse other people’s blood vessels.
Even if I told you, I doubted whether you would believe me.
If he claimed that he had used an elixir, it would be somewhat understandable to the listener.
“I owe you a lot.”
Fortunately, Jang Mun-in did not seem to doubt my words.
I shamelessly continued talking with a kind smile on my face.
“Don’t feel too pressured. Even though it was an elixir, it was nothing more than a yawn.”
“Even if the efficacy is low, the elixir is still an elixir. “It must not have been easy to make the decision to use it to treat others.”
“it’s okay. “I also came to the Jeomchang faction to seek help.”
“You came to seek help? “Didn’t you just say you came to treat me?”
“I was visiting the Jeomchang faction on other business and heard that Jang Mun-in had fallen into a state of intoxication.”
“I’d like to ask what the business is.”
“Currently, I am carrying out a mission under the orders of the Lord.”
I briefly explained how I got to my current situation.
Jang Mun-in’s eyes became slightly misty as he told the story that he had been given a mission by Meng Ju to lead martial artists from various regions, and that he was staying at the Yunnan branch with them and preparing to head to South Manchuria.
“It’s not a very pleasant story.”
“I thought you would say that. “From an objective perspective, it would be natural for the Jeomchang faction and the Yunnan branch to handle this matter.”
“It sounds like you didn’t take on this job because you really wanted to.”
“You saw it right away.”
Jang Moon-in’s reaction was not much different from what the Yunnan branch leader had shown before.
The current situation must have felt unpleasant to the head of the Jeomchang faction, who had been closely watching the movements of Namman for a long time.
“Lord, you are too kind. “I can’t believe you are handing over full responsibility to me without even discussing it with the Jeomchang faction.”
“Actually, there is a separate person who presented his opinion to the leader and persuaded him.”
“Who is that?”
“This is senior Nam Hak-geom (嵐虐劍), an elder of the alliance.”
There was no reason to miss this golden opportunity.
I sold Namhakgeom’s special title without any hesitation.
“If you say Namhakgeom, do you mean the old man who holds the position of elder of the communal faction?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
There was a cool feeling in Jang Mun-in’s eyes.
I was already in a happy mood imagining what would happen next.
“May I ask a question this time?”
“Tell me.”
“How did you end up falling for the coin?”
This was a question I had had since I heard the story from the Cheongmyeong dojo.
It did not occur to me that a person who was a long-time member of the Old Daemun faction would fall into a conspiracy by simply misusing his internal power.
I would have passed the stage of making such beginner mistakes a long time ago.
It was probably one of two things.
You may have lost your concentration because someone interrupted you during your fortune-telling exercise, or your heart energy may have been disturbed due to severe worry or anxiety.
Personally, I thought the latter possibility was high.
Isn’t there a chance that there would be someone who could harm Jang Mun-in in the middle of the Jeomchang Sect’s grounds?
“······If your mind is sick, your body is also sick. “I never thought I would fall into the trap of coinage.”
“Are you worried about something?”
“Should I call it a worry? “I’m worried about the future of the Jeomchang Sect.”
“······?”
“You might think it’s an empty stomach, but the fortune-teller group is too obsessed with the current movie.”
When I asked him why he fell into the habit of buying coins, he suddenly started lamenting.
I straightened my posture and pretended to listen to Jang Mun-in’s words.
“Because we are complacent, there is no progress, and because there is no progress, we have no choice but to fall behind. In fact, the Jeomchang school has not produced a single absolute master in nearly two hundred years. Do you understand what this means?”
“······.”
“As research on martial arts becomes more active and academics develop, the number of masters who have reached the level of martial arts is gradually increasing. In the meantime, only the Jeomchang faction is standing still.”
“······.”
“The reason is simple. Because there is no reason to burn the desire to improve. Although they say they are wary of the Beast Palace’s attack, the threat is not actually felt. However, we do not have frequent exchanges with other Baekdo clans or Sega. “As I’ve been reigning as king in Yunnan, I can’t find a reason to compete fiercely.”
“······.”
“What did you think of when you saw the afterbirth?”
“If you’re asking for my personal impressions, I don’t have a very good feeling about it.”
“It’s good to be honest. “The feelings you felt while looking at the afterbirth would be similar to the feelings I felt when looking at the fortune teller.”
“······.”
“Actually, I was planning to make Sanhu the next great writer.”
Changin Dojang becomes the Jangmunin of the Jeomchang faction?
As soon as the thought occurred to me, a laugh escaped me.
A bitter smile appeared on Jang Mun-in’s lips.
“I don’t know about you, but after giving birth, the child showed an upright and upright attitude. At least within the sect. “He was quite shocked when he heard that he was out there doing such things.”
I scratched the back of my head.
As expected, it seems that I was the reason why Jang Mun-in of the Jeomchang faction fell into the Juhwa Ilma.
Because of me, Changin’s dojo went bankrupt, and as a result, Jang Moonin suffered from mental illness and ended up in bed.
“If this continues, the Jeomchang Sect will give up the position of the Nine Daemun Sect within a hundred years.”
“······.”
“This is why I became addicted to the coin demon. Did you get an answer?”
“yes.”
After finishing speaking, Jang Mun-in cleared his throat and said, ‘Great.’
Because he had been lying unconscious for a long time, it seemed difficult to have a long conversation.
I picked up the kettle in the corner of the room and poured water into a bowl.
Then, he supported Jang Mun-in’s head with one hand and brought the bowl to his mouth.
“I think I’ll live a little longer.”
“I think it would be best to rest for now.”
“Of course. “I hope we can talk about what we couldn’t say later.”
“I will schedule a date and come back soon.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
martial arts,
