28 – Episode 28: Divine Being

1.

Eunho cautiously opened the patient’s eyes.

Then he asked Yeonhahahahan if his eyes were still congested.

‘Yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone with such congested eyes.’

The patient continued to breathe weakly, as if hesitating to exhale.

As Eunho gently touched the limbs, it felt more like touching a log than a human body.

Silence filled the air.

Eunho wanted to remove his hand because of the eerie sensation, but he couldn’t.

On the other hand, Paeng Yahwa and Namgoongyeon looked worriedly at Eunho touching the wound.

‘I sense Danjeon. Have you learned martial arts?’

‘Yes.’

“All humans possess Danjeon, but infusing it with energy and embodying it within oneself is a separate matter.”

However, Eunho clearly felt a single-sided battle. He said so.

“I haven’t learned any martial arts.”

At those words, Eunho frowned.

“What went wrong?”

“How is your sister dressed now? Are the sleeves short?”

“She’s wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.”

“Let me check her heartbeat for a moment.”

Eunho placed his ear on her chest.

Thump… Thump… Thump…

The heartbeat was very slow, and what he felt was…

“……….”

In that state, he touched her arms and legs.

After the examination, Eunho spoke.

“Did the gods who came last time say anything else apart from not cutting the limbs?”

“…Not particularly. They said it’s not an issue that I could intervene in, but advised against cutting off the arms and legs.”

“That’s strange. They could have definitely said something more.”

There must be a reason why they couldn’t say something.

“I thought they were the same as us, with a single-sided battle. But it seems rather venomous than one-sided. Comparing it to human lungs, the insides are withered while the outside is swollen and similar in size. That’s the feeling.”

And…

“It lacks vigor.”

It is said that if blood doesn’t flow through a person, that part decays.

Blood does the same. But what about the source of vigor?

The arm is decaying to the point where even a little force can break it.

Until this point, other gods would have seen more clearly.

What they saw and what only I saw, that was important.

Eunho checked Hanarin’s sister’s pulse. Not in the neck, but in the wrist.

He wanted to see if blood was flowing through the decaying part.

However, he still couldn’t feel anything.

“I roughly understand the principle of vital energy, but how to treat it is the problem.”

“Are you serious?!”

“… It’s not good news. It’s astonishing how he’s still alive… We need to treat him quickly.”

“What is the principle of hemolysis?”

Eunho spoke as he touched the patient’s chest.

“Hemolysis, from what I observed, seems to be a powerful compression phenomenon. It’s like all the energy in the body gathers towards the center. It’s not an issue with the limbs… It seems to be a problem in the chest area.”

“Compression phenomenon…”

“From the fingertips, the energy gradually rises until it finally gathers at the center. The energy gathered at the center deteriorates like trapped air… Eventually leading to death.”

Hana Rin’s expression worsened. She bowed her head and said to Eunho.

“Please… cure him.”

“What’s your brother’s name?”

“It’s Hanso.”

“Miss Hanso, I will do my best to heal him.”

Eunho recalled a fact he hadn’t told Hana Rin yet.

Two questions remained. Why hasn’t the treatment worked?

And even though it’s hard to say, why hasn’t he died yet?

It was fascinating that his body could withstand such a state.

For now, Eunho had to find a treatment method. The patient’s condition was so critical that they needed to come up with a solution quickly.

2.

A sea with waves rolling. Let’s fully open our senses and feel those waves.

The rough sea breeze rustled Eunho’s clothes.

Looking concerned, Yeonha warned him, “Be careful. There’s a cliff right in front.”

Eunho was standing on a mountain cliff behind Hana Rin’s house, which was filled with reeds, feeling the presence of the sea.

Hana Rin also approached and sat on a suitable rock.

Showing caution, Hana Rin spoke first.

“If it’s compressed energy, can’t it be resolved through the acupuncture technique you showed me before?”

Remembering the incident when Namyung Yeonha consumed a powerful energy-packed healing potion without swallowing it, Eunho was asked with such expectations. However, he spoke bitterly.

“Hanso’s current condition is like a balloon.”

“A balloon… What’s that?”

“It’s… a sphere filled with air. Although the force is in the opposite direction, the result is similar. It’s a solid-state filled with inward-pushing force.”

Eunho drew a picture on the sandy part. Arrows pointed towards the center of the circular shape.

“In this state, even if you try to build a road, the direction of force ultimately goes towards the center, making it meaningless. Besides, if you forcibly release the direction of force, the energy spheres will explode and ‘juhwaeipma’ can occur.”

“……!”

“What I feel is… even in the current state, ‘juhwaeipma’ should be enough to come… why isn’t it coming? It’s fortunate for now, but if that’s close to the root cause of this illness, then this illness cannot be cured.”

The possibility presented in the words suggesting that the absence of ‘juhwaeipma’ could actually prevent the cure was also demanding an explanation.

“It’s a simple story. If the inevitable misfortune that should come doesn’t come… it may be a good direction because something greater might come. I’m trying to sort it out clearly.”

Eunho said, counting on his fingers.

First. Find out why ‘juhwaeipma’ is not coming.

Second. Learn what the previous deity saw.

Third. Find a way to cure the illness.

Fourth. Check if the limbs can be regenerated.

After hearing this, Paeng Yahwa said surprisingly,

“……..Curing the illness isn’t the top priority?”

“If the previous deity conducted an inspection… we can only know the current state. They must have at least mentioned something… We need to find out why the first deity who came here gave up.”

“Do you really have no recollection? What is the name of the first deity who came?”

Hana Arin immediately spoke up.

“The deity’s name is Yeonghong-gun.”

“If it’s Yeonghong-gun…”

Eunho pondered for a moment.

Yeonghong-gun’s main field was lifespan extension. There are records of extending the lifespan of terminally ill individuals by as much as 20 years, which is why they are called a deity.

Of course, being a deity, they were also excellent in other fields.

“…When Yeonghong-gun arrived, how much decay had progressed?”

“It was about the finger’s length.”

“…It seems like the reason ‘juhwaeipma’ is not coming… might be because of something Yeonghong-gun did…”

To confirm that hypothesis, we need to use Eunho’s expertise in acupuncture.

“Please confirm it.”

“…Isn’t it impolite to ask Yeonghong-gun about this?”

In response to Paeng Yahwa’s question, Yeonha replied on behalf.

“Yeonghong-gun passed away one year ago.”

.

.

Eight needles are inserted into the patient’s limbs and chest. The area where the disease originates is checked without stimulating it as much as possible.

“That’s right. Something is preventing the healing process.”

“Then… does that mean the first and second issues are resolved?”

“No. The second issue is still a mystery. We need to find out why Young-hong gave up after providing emergency treatment.”

Eun-ho shook his head.

If he were Young-hong, what would he have seen?

What… was the reason he didn’t say anything at least…

Consideration?

“………..”

It is said that doctors sometimes tell well-intentioned lies to their patients.

Could this be a well-intentioned silence?

Did they judge it as hopeless?

At that moment, Hana spoke.

“Master, there seems to be a solution.”

“……….”

“A solution? What do you mean?”

Eun-ho spoke as he removed the needles.

“If I touch the origin point once, I can find out. It’s an act no different than lifting the injured area to check its condition, not for treatment… but if done incorrectly, the patient could die before receiving treatment.”

“…Please do it.”

“…I don’t recommend it. If I fail, what will you say to Eun-ho?”

Hana didn’t waver in the face of Paeng-ya-hwa’s sharp criticism.

“I swear on my master’s honor and my own honor that I will never blame Gong-ja.”

“Isn’t it too sudden? Calm down a bit. Isn’t this our younger sibling who must be saved at all costs?”

“Our sibling… is also very exhausted. So am I. And… I’m not entrusting this blindly. I’m entrusting it because I believe I can trust Gong-ja. I have the thought that if it’s Gong-ja, they can save him.”

“…So you’re saying that’s a burden and not a good thing…”

Eun-ho also thought the same way. But at the same time…

“Let me share one good news: we already have a treatment plan in mind.”

“Really?!”

“Is it true?!”

“If I can pass this test… and if whatever His Excellency saw doesn’t become a problem for me, then I can survive.”

Although Han Arin couldn’t see Eunho, she politely bowed and spoke.

“If you spare my life… I will do anything. Please proceed with the examination.”

And so, the fateful test of life and death began.

…

The action itself was simple. If earlier it was just a superficial observation without any stimulation, now it was a proper examination stimulating all senses.

Twelve needles will be used this time.

One. Two. Three. The needles are slowly placed.

And when the sixth needle pierced through the center of her chest, Soyeo coughed.

“Cough..!”

She didn’t wake up. It was just a reflexive action coming from her body.

“Please make sure Soyeo’s blood doesn’t backflow by adjusting her posture comfortably.”

Han Arin stepped forward and adjusted Soyeo’s position.

“……….Please.”

Endure it.

Eunho prayed as he placed the needle.

“Guh..! Guh… Cough…!”

With each needle, Han Arin suffered in agony.

The ninth needle. The tenth needle. The eleventh needle.

But at the last moment, Eunho hesitated.

“Why… why are you doing this?”

“It’s… cutting it real close.”

Eunho looked at Arin. It was a request to make a decision.

At such a crucial moment, Han Arin trembled with fear.

However…

Remembering the time when they relied on each other and lived together after losing their parents,

“Please.”

She made her decision.

Eunho let out a gasp the moment he released the needle.
