Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 564



Only Noblemtl

564. Note (4)

Peng Hyuk-bin furrowed his brows.

When he urged, Hanbin continued his explanation.

“The reason why Samhwangcho became famous is because of King Tae-ryeong, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. King Tae-ryeong was one of the kings who was most threatened by assassins. Although he was able to overcome all the dangers of assassins, he was unable to overcome disease.”

“I know that too. But isn’t it a legendary story that a passing god healed it?”

“Yes, that’s right. The medicine that the immortal used was none other than Samhwangcho.”

“hmm.”

“The funny thing is that there is a story that what the doctor cured was not the disease. There is a popular saying that what was in King Taereung’s body was poison.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin moistened his dry lips with alcohol.

What Hanbin was talking about now was something that Kang Hoin didn’t know about.

It was a memory pulled from a case Hanbin had investigated in his previous life.

Peng Hyuk-bin’s eyes deepened.

“Poison… … .”

“This has not been proven yet.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin quietly raised his head.

It was a statement based on memories from a past life.

Of course, only half of what Hanbin said was true.

What was inside King Tae-ryeong’s body was not an ordinary poison, but a living poison, namely loneliness.

Solitude enters the body in such a way that it is at first invisible to the eye.

Of these, the most difficult to detect is blood clots.

The bloodline mentioned here was not the ordinary bloodline mentioned in martial arts.

It is a special type of paper called Taehyeolgo.

Once Taehyeolgo enters the mouth, it settles in the head, not the danjeon.

It grows slowly by consuming the established energy and blood.

It is almost like a part of the body, so the addicted patient does not even feel it.

Only a few experts with exceptional intuition can detect it.

While a normal blood clot is the size of a grain of rice, a fetal blood clot is too big to be seen with the naked eye.

If you mix it with water or alcohol and hand it over, even a master of the art of painting will not be able to detect it.

However, when that blood clot enters the body, it becomes larger than a normal blood clot.

As the cerebellum grows, it attaches itself to the blood vessels in the head, almost like a part of the body.

So the point is that no one knows until it breaks out.

I had experienced the disaster caused by Taehyeolgo in my previous life as well.

In the middle of the Jeongma War, it was Taehyeolgo, one of the lonely ones, who drove Ilji Daesa, one of the three masters of the martial arts world, to death.

The blood vessels are sensitive to shock. Once they reach a certain size, they become sensitive to psychological reactions as well.

It was said that it could even play the role of a taboo depending on who it was written to.

You can even make your blood vessels react immediately by saying certain words.

If you try to pull it out, it reacts immediately.

To treat a blood clot, you have to take it out.

According to the ancient books, the only thing that blood pressure responds to is the Samhwangcho.

The grown blood vessels that come out react with the outside and immediately dry up and become distorted.

This was because a fully grown fetus could not survive without the patient’s nutrients.

For that reason, when the patient dies, Taehyeolgo also dies.

The only way to remove the blood clot was to separate it from the blood vessels and drain it externally.

If that happens, the whole situation is over.

What was needed to separate the blood clot from the blood vessels and expel it out was the Samhwangcho.

I couldn’t save the Iljidaesa in my previous life.

The solution to the blood clot was discovered only after the death of Ilji Ambassador.

It was three months after Ilji Daesa’s death that he learned about Samhwangcho.

What if the ambassador hadn’t died?

Hanbin shook his head.

This is because I had a feeling that the death of the person I had experienced in my previous life might have been part of a grand plan that someone had devised.

Can you handle Taehyeolgo without Samhwangcho?

Hanbin glanced at the Yongrim Sword Technique.

Among the herbs that can help others as well as heal oneself is the herb revival.

But this time, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to save his opponent with a revival.

The patient’s brain would melt before the knight’s recovery was effective.

Even if a miracle happens and the healing power of the knight reaches the patient, only a small amount can be recovered.

The head loses its ability to do its job.

It would have been impossible to survive as an unmanned being, or even as an ordinary person.

In my previous life I was a master of Ilji, and this time I’m a master of Taegeuk Sword!

The timing of the outbreak was also completely different.

It felt like someone had made the first move on the Go board called Gangho.

Hanbin smiled.

The enemies’ provocation was actually what Hanbin wanted.

Is it the background? Or another shadowy force?

I had a feeling there was at least one person on this board who was giving advice.

First of all, in order to confirm, it was necessary to obtain the Samhwangcho.

Hyunmun asked at Hanbin’s strange expression.

“Why are you doing that, Prince Peng?”

“No. I will save you this time. I can’t let them shake up the world as they please.”

“hmm.”

“I will now tell you the main point I want to make.”

“Tell me.”

“First, you must promise to do as I say.”

“Well, how can I promise without even listening?”

“If you say you won’t keep your promise, I will finish my mission here too.”

At Hanbin’s words, Hyunmun stood up from his seat.

It was an action of surprise, not anger.

Peng Hyuk-bin also opened his eyes wide in surprise.

This was not an attitude that should be shown to the best distribution center in Gangho.

There was a secret letter sent by Taegeukgeomje.

But why is Hanbin showing such a resolute attitude!

Peng Hyuk-bin, who knew his brother’s usual appearance, couldn’t help but be surprised.

An awkward silence passed across the table for a moment.

Only their wavering eyes were dizzyingly entangled.

The first one to speak was Hyeonmun.

“Help the shaman. I will do anything.”

“… … .”

Hanbin turned his head with his mouth tightly shut.

His gaze lingered on Peng Heuk-bin’s lips.

There was also unspoken pressure on Peng Hyuk-bin to make a promise.

Peng Hyuk-bin, who was receiving attention, was slightly embarrassed.

I thought that making a promise first was something that applied to Hyeonmun.

He didn’t think it applied to him.

But looking at Hanbin’s eyes now, it seemed like he was silently threatening to say something only if Pang Hyukbin promised.

After a moment of doubt, Peng Heokbin could only nod his head.

Because a powerful force was surging down on him from the side.

The owner of that momentum was none other than Hyeonmun.

It changed from a friendly gate to a fighting gate.

The look in his eyes seemed to threaten that the older brother, who did not trust his younger brother, would twist his own neck with his own hands.

That’s how impatient I am.

Only when Peng Hyeok-bin agreed did Han-bin’s expression soften.

He returned to his usual polite and kind self.

Only then did the atmosphere return to normal.

“Then I will tell you the precautions from now on. Until we reach Mt. Mudang, you must pretend to die if I tell you to. In other words, you must actively follow what I say.”

“I promise. I’m ready for that much.”

When Hyunmun nodded, Peng Hyeok-bin smiled.

“If it’s a favor of that level, I can’t not grant it as your older brother. Honestly, even if you don’t ask, I believe you, haha.”

After finishing speaking, Peng Heuk-bin put the whole bamboo leaf tea into his mouth.

The corners of his lips kept twitching as if to ask why he was making me so nervous.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Now here’s my second request. No matter what happens when you climb Mt. Wudang, you must not interfere with my work. Even if you say you will help me, you must not interfere with my work. You must become someone who has nothing to do with me.”

“Huh, what does that mean?”

“It means that you must become a member of the family and a member of the Justice Alliance.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“If you had to choose between me and the Justice League, who would you choose?”

“Well… … .”

“You would probably choose me. Family is the family itself.”

“Well said. Isn’t that something to be expected?”

“I’m telling you not to do that. Standing on the side of the Justice Alliance could be the way to protect your family.”

“I know it’s unlikely, but what if the Justice League holds a knife to your throat?”

“The point I’m making is that in that case, you should at least pretend to hold a knife to my neck.”

“Hmm, that’s a difficult request.”

“Didn’t you promise in advance?”

Hanbin smiled and pointed to his lips with his index finger.

It meant that one word left was worth a thousand pieces of gold.

At those words, Peng Hyuk-bin nodded weakly.

Hanbin continued speaking nonchalantly.

“This applies equally to the elders at Hyeonmun.”

In that moment, Hyunmun’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.

“What, what does that mean?”

“It’s literally true. Once you arrive at Mt. Wudang, forget all your previous relationships.”

“Haha, I guess so.”

Hyunmun burst out laughing. It was a warning that he had also forced upon his brother.

No matter how much she liked Hanbin, she couldn’t reject him because they weren’t related by blood.

Then Hanbin smiled and continued speaking.

“Then here’s my last request. My last request is that you don’t pass on everything I’ve said to anyone else.”

At Hanbin’s words, Peng Heukbin and Hyeonmun nodded reflexively.

In some ways, it was the easiest request to grant.

Silence fell again in the room where a storm of emotions had once swirled.

The sound of raising a glass.

The sound of someone chugging a bottle.

And their affectionate voices, heard occasionally, filled the room like a landscape painting.

When the alcohol ran out, Hanbin got up from his seat.

“I’m going to go now.”

“Can I ask you just one thing?”

Hyunmun quietly called Hanbin.

Hanbin turned his body and bowed his head slightly.

“Please speak.”

“Do you really know the whereabouts of the Samhwangcho? And that it can relieve the punishment… … .”

“It is true that it is possible to obtain it. The facts that I know are possible to obtain, and the probability of a recovery is possible to obtain it. The rest is up to the gods of heaven and earth to decide.”

“I understand. True Insa Daecheonmyeong! I will leave everything to the Primordial Heavenly Lord.”

Hyunmun surprisingly agreed quickly.

Only then did he show the empty expression of a Taoist.

* * *

That evening.

Hanbin was sitting across from Jang Ja-myeong, with steaming cups of tea in front of him.

While Hanbin’s expression was relaxed, Jang Ja-myeong looked anxious and just stared at his teacup.

The reason Jang Ja-myeong was anxious was simple.

I thought he might ask me to accompany him on the way to Mt. Mudang.

There was something to be gained by being by Hanbin’s side.

But there was more to lose.

The thing that Jang Ja-myeong thought he had lost the most was his health.

Strangely, when I’m next to Hanbin, I don’t feel tired at all.

Even if I take all the elixirs and eat everything that is good for my body, my fatigue still doesn’t go away.

Of course, Jang Ja-myeong also knew the reason.

Hanbin was using people too thoroughly.

From the management of Yeongcho, who holds the extreme positive energy of Cheonsujang, to the treatment of patients.

Just thinking about the training of the secretaries a while ago made my teeth chatter.

In reality, it was not the secretaries but Jang Ja-myeong who died.

Hanbin, who had been quietly looking at Jang Ja-myeong who was shaking with anxiety, finally opened his mouth.

“Isn’t your body stiff? Rep. Jang.”

“Hehe, Peng Gongzi. What do you mean? It’s not that I’m stiff, but thanks to the two training sessions that Peng Gongzi conducted, my body has become limber. I can’t tell if this is my body or the withered roots of the green onions.”
