Episode 79 < The scent of snow. (2) >

3.
After a while, Cheonma and I were able to return to the group.
“…….”
“…….”
The two of us were solemn.
While walking through the cave, the Heavenly Demon said, “… … “It is very dark in front of his feet, so be careful when you walk,” he said. I also just answered “yes”. That was the end of the conversation. The woman’s face, seen from next to her, was deep in thought.
Heavenly Demon, no.
What is Master thinking?
‘Portrait window.’
There is a saying that as a disciple you should not step on your teacher’s shadow, but I found it difficult to resist my curiosity. Could it be that Master became cautious because I showed my weakness? That wasn’t what I wanted.

Mental state: ‘Where. If you count the remaining strength of the master… … If I save and use it sparingly, I can live for another year and six months. A year and a half! Oh, it’s difficult! Within a year and a half, I will have to hand over everything that belongs to my disciple to Confucius… … ‘

hmm… .
hmm.
My face tingled. I felt guilty for peeking into my teacher’s mind… It wasn’t just that. shame. A little touching. I don’t know what it was, but my face got really hot.
ah. Am I really weak to people’s favor?
-Hehehe. Zombies! Today is such a great day! It’s great luck!
Of course, the emotion didn’t last long.
A ghost, not a human, broke the colic.
-what! No matter how different the world was, it wasn’t much different from our martial arts group, regardless of whether the gangsters were there or not. Still, I feel better after reading a martial arts book for the first time in a while. Kyaaa! Oh. So, did you do a good job of bowing?
“…….”
-uh? What? That bold expression. An already ugly face looks even uglier, zombie. You need to take care of your appearance.
If my favorability rating had been shown, it would have just dropped by -10 points.
Anyway, ghosts don’t know the human mind.
[Twinkle finally stops sobbing and looks up to the warrior.]
The sparkle that had been shaking from earlier finally stopped.
After all, the constellations know the human mind.
My affinity for glitter has increased by 30.
“oh. “Are you back?”
The poisonous snake spoke to us. His single eye immediately looked at me.
“Is the old prayer ceremony over?”
“yes. “I have officially become a disciple of the Demonic Cult.”
“okay. Congratulations.”
“So, Venerable Snake, how did you become a priest with the Murim Lord?”
The viper chuckled and crossed his arms.
“Well, it just so happened.”
“You said that back then too.”
“What, do you want to hear the details?”
“If possible.”
The viper crossed his arms.
He gave me a wide smile as if not even a needle would go in, and then shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but it’s impossible.”
The viper continued calmly.
“I just asked you to teach me. “Nothing in particular happened.”
hmm.
Thinking that the sparring was over, I opened the viper’s psychological window.
『Tch. A dying old man… … No. Now you are my teacher.
Anyway, he says he doesn’t have much life left, and he goes up to a big temple to say that he wants to give the Heavenly Demon a reason to live. How can he refuse that, and how can he say that?
That’s also said by someone whose skills are much higher than mine… … .』
I looked at the poisonous snake as if I had been hit on the head.
venomous snake.
He was a ‘man’.
『Whoa~, maybe it’s because I lied, but the memory comes back to me.
The Murim Lord and the Cheonma spar from time to time. After seeing that, I thought these guys were really great, and I had this idea for a long time.
So, while the two of us sat down, we talked about martial arts.
Then the Murim Lord suddenly said, ‘Kiyoot! Hey hey you guy, is it true! There are people who are shocked and say, ‘How blessed must I have been to have someone as talented as you?
I’m scratching the back of my head and thinking, hmm, well, to this extent…

The medicine king Yeongtaeng chimed in as if asking why he was making such a fuss,
‘Ah, this guy named Cheonmumunju is a precious [colleague] even though he looks like this. I said, ‘Isn’t it natural that he has such talent, personality, and good looks?’ That’s what I said.
The pharmacist also blushed brightly,
‘yes… … My wife, Cheon Mu-munju’s brother… you… Oh no! Ah, I didn’t say anything! Anyway, Cheon Mu-munju is the top ranker in our world… … Ma, so to speak, the idol that the people of our world look up to! I guess it’s like this… … Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, boo, I said something embarrassing!’ While doing this, I cup both cheeks.
With the banquet of facts pouring out of nowhere, I had no choice but to look at the distant mountains.
Then the Murim Lord nodded as if everything made sense,
‘Hey, please! This bastard of the highest order, please become my last disciple!’
Haha, this is difficult.
I just want to be quiet, but really, why is my life so devoid of windy days? … 』
okay.
Let’s stop.
venomous snake.
Because he was a ‘real man’.
“Death King. And the leader of the Demonic Cult.”
The greatest ‘real man’ of our time said with a shrug.
“I have one good news to tell you, and one sad news.”
“What is it?”
“It was successful.”
The person who answered my question was not a viper. A much more blurry voice. It was the voice of a pharmacist. The pharmacist was walking this way, wearing thick glasses.
“remedy. Development was successful. “Death King.”
“…….”
The reason I couldn’t answer right away wasn’t because I was moved by the declaration that development was complete.
The pharmacist is a genius. My belief that she would one day develop a cure was so self-evident that for her it was only a matter of how long it would take.
In the meantime, I spent a lot of time learning the Macheon Shingong. A pharmacist who received the help of the Medicine King could have developed a cure quickly.
“what? “A medicine was created?”
Master looked surprised.
“Is that really true? If you lied, tell me now. “I am the type to tolerate one lie.”
“… yes. “It’s real.”
The pharmacist said.
“Actually, it was developed yesterday. “The reason I checked for signs of freckles one more day was because I needed to observe clinical trials.”
“Clinical trials? “What is that?”
“It’s a test to see whether the treatment is working properly. Experimental subjects donated by Heavenly Demon and Maengju… sorry. “I spent a day examining the body of a person who was said to be a non-partisan scholar.”
The pharmacist seemed to be trying to keep an expressionless face.
“He had been dead for a very long time, so his return was impossible. Zombie virus… It was confirmed that the infectious disease was cured and the body returned to a normal body. yes. “There is nothing wrong with the treatment.”
“If that’s true, wouldn’t it be a huge blessing!”
Master was pleased.
“That’s amazing! All of Kangho’s doctors and monks were caught up in it, but it was a strange disease that put up both hands and feet. “For just two people to find a solution to that problem is no feat!”
“no. Thanks to the data provided by Death King… … ”
“I have enough humility. Treat that old man from Buwol-seon right now!”
Master grabbed both of the pharmacist’s hands.
I could vividly feel Master’s joy through his hand gestures and body language.
“That guy is pretending to be strong and boastful, but he’s actually trembling, but in reality, he doesn’t have much time left to hold on. He must have been aware of this and chose Sae-o-yeon’s child as his disciple. “It was truly thanks to Sangje’s care that the medicine was developed before the old man passed away!”
“yes… . Of course we will treat you. That’s why I came here… .”
And I opened my mouth.
“There’s a problem with the treatment.”
“…….”
“Isn’t that so, boss?”
The pharmacist lowered his head. The apothecary’s complexion was as dull as her voice. From the moment she said that she had ‘succeeded in developing a cure’, the apothecary kept making eye contact with me. From then on, I was already feeling anxious.
“No, there’s nothing wrong with the cure… . I made it. It’s perfect. however… .”
but.
“But what is it?”
“They say Danjeon should be abolished.”
Trudging.
Light footsteps were heard.
“Madhu. I also witnessed the corpse of the Malco Taoist being returned to normal. Just in case, I got two more Jiangxi bottles and tested them, but the results were the same. “There is no doubt about the efficacy of the medicine this woman made.”
Murim lord Buwolseon.
An old man wearing a white uniform slowly walked towards us.
“But you know it too. The two of us are already half-corpse. “Once upon a time, a body that had become a corpse was forcibly brought back to life.”
“…….”
Master’s expression suddenly hardened.
The Murim leader stroked his beard in emptiness.
“It was brave of me to go against the laws of nature and survive all this time. “You should pay the price.”
“… “It’s been too long since both of you were infected with Jiangxi Disease.”
The pharmacist opened his lips.
“For people who are not yet infected or who have recently been infected, one shot of the vaccine completes both cure and prevention, but for these two people… .”
The pharmacist lowered his head and moved his mouth quickly.
“There is no abnormality above the cervical acupoint. After taking the treatment, you will return to normal as before you were infected with the disease. However, below the cervical acupoint, the internal energy you are talking about is the hospital (病原) and… So, it is completely indistinguishable from turbid energy.”
The pharmacist said that Hadanjeon’s condition was particularly serious.
“The path through which your inner energy moves corresponds to the path through which turbid energy spreads. To put it simply, we need to clean the hallway. A cure is a dull broom, not a delicate tongs. You can’t sweep the hallway with a broom and clean the dust and sand separately. Your hallways are so dusty, especially the lower ones, that they’re in a mess… .”
Danjeon is a place where internal energy is accumulated.
It was a part as precious as life to a warrior.
“You have to lift everything out of there.”
“… … “Lifting it out means.”
Master said.
“What does it mean to reveal?”
“It has to be eliminated.”
The pharmacist strained his voice.
“I’m going to perform the surgery.”
“… Are you saying you want to remove the tumor attached to the Danjeon? That’s fine. “There will be a loss in air power, but we can quickly restore it.”
“no. “We will completely remove the area.”
“…….”
“There is no need to doubt whether the surgery will be successful. I have already performed clinical surgery. I’m not a specialist in surgery, but the old medicine man is skilled. Well, I can provide support as well. so… .”
“The skill of performing the procedure is amazing.”
The Murim lord suddenly said.
“I don’t know anything else, but I think we should look for a member of the National Assembly from outside the country, not from Kangho. It’s amazing to watch from the side. Madhu. “If you get a chance, check it out too.”
“Namgoong Un.”
“I am,”
The Murim Lord coughed.
“I will undergo the procedure.”
“…….”
“I’ll lose it anyway, but it’s only a handful. There is nothing to regret. There is nothing to regret. I’m glad to have a disciple in Neulgeumak. “Even if you abolish the dantian, you still have the mental capacity to teach your disciples, and your disciples have the skill of heaven to understand ten words when you say one thing.”
The Murim Lord looked at his old enemy.
“We are unmanned. Martial arts is the heart. If the heart remains, nothing remains. “Isn’t that right, Baekhyang?”
Master could not answer.
All night long, the Murim Lord underwent surgery. Around dawn, the pharmacist and the medicine king announced that the surgery was over.
The surgery was successful.
4.
At dawn, the snowy field contained the colors of shade.
“Master.”
“…….”
Master was standing alone at the entrance of the cave, looking down at the world in shadow. Long black sleeves fluttered in the wind.
The scenery was far away.
Master’s back seemed a little further away than the scenery.
“Master.”
“…are there any results from the procedure?”
“yes.”
“What happened?”
“It’s okay.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
“That’s it.”
Master’s gaze was fixed on empty space.
“Disciple.”
“yes.”
“I wanted to cut off all the cold in the world.”
Master said.
“It’s been that way since I was young. I resented winter. The snow falling in winter was sad. “I wondered how in the world there are seasons, and within the season there is a thing called winter, and why a person’s life must also be lost with each season.”
A world frozen in eternal winter.
The woman who was born as a body of ice and snow and a body of extreme yin hated the season that most resembled her.
“Even though I cannot cut down the cold of the world with a single sword, I was confident that I would be able to slay those who freeze the world. It reminds me of the time when I first appeared in Kangho. “It was the middle of winter then too.”
I noticed something had changed in Master’s appearance.
Sword.
Master was holding a sword in his right hand. His nose was missing. It consisted only of the sword hilt and sword body. Unlike other swords that were transparent like a mirror, Master’s sword was pitch black.
A knife that refuses to become invisible.
Even though I saw it for the first time, I could guess what the sword was.
“Island Blood Demon Sword (織血魔劍)… … ”
“okay.”
Master muttered softly.
“There is something I tested when I first appeared in Gangho. It was a blow to my young heart. “He literally accepted the cold of the world as an object of the world and tried to cut down the snowy mountains.”
Master took a breath.
The breath I took at dawn was white.
In the white sky, a tall mountain peak rose.
“In those days, you couldn’t even cut off the hem—.”
Master raised his sword.
“I wonder what it will be like now. “I’m curious.”
The sword swung.
It was a slow gesture.
Master’s sleeves were long, so I had to wave them around for a while to follow his hand gestures. As the black sleeves waved in the air, time in the world seemed to stop for a moment. In the frozen air, Master’s sleeves swam freely.
“Hope,”
Sword dance.
“Hope,”
Geommu (劍生).
“Ah (I) is hope,”
The sword shaman became a son-in-law with the dance of the sword.
“My heart is like a candle.”
and.
“I will burn this place.”
The snowy mountain was cut down.
The snowy peak, which had no trees or exposed rocks and had no meaning other than its mere presence, was cut down.
The scream of the snow-covered mountain resembles thunder. White blood burst out following the echoing screams. The snowy mountain crumbled from its peak, creating waves of snow, and the waves fell in layers. It collapsed and collapsed. A blizzard created not by the sky but by humans struck the dawn.
“…….”
Master’s breath flowed.
“We only finished cutting down the peak. I tried to cut down the mountain with my mind, but I could not cut it down, so instant death with my heart was a long way off. “This is the final state of this throne.”
“Disciple.”
Master looked back at me.
One mountain was crumbling white.
“I will undergo the procedure.”
etc,
