Episode 80 – Hyemin Party
Tang So-hyang couldn’t easily shake off the feeling that her condition was strange.
My body······didn’t hurt at all.
There was no pain that stabbed my whole body every day, and I didn’t feel the horrible poison that was always eating me away.
It felt so refreshing, as if the illness that had always plagued Dang So-hyang had been completely cured.
‘······He’s dead.’
Tang So-hyang was able to realize that she was dead. Tang So-hyang’s illness could only be cured through death.
I wish I could have lived a little longer, but I felt relieved knowing that I wouldn’t have to feel pain anymore.
If I had one regret and greed······just a little bit. No, even just one would be nice.
If I could have just one more memory with Cheongun, I thought I would be able to leave this world without any regrets.
Although the life of living peacefully with the villagers at the missionary office was happy, it was not as happy as the memories with Cheongun.
If you were to choose the happiest moment in Dang So-hyang’s life, she would choose without hesitation the moment of her wedding.
But, as the saying goes, it was nothing more than ‘greed.’
But thanks to Cheongun, weren’t you able to feel joy at least in your last moments?
Thanks to Cheongun, wasn’t it possible to gain a little happiness in a life that was stained only with pain?
That’s enough.
It was a very short joy and happiness, but for Dang So-hyang, it was a precious memory more than anything else.
“Are you awake?”
A voice was heard all of a sudden.
Dang So-hyang tilted her head involuntarily and headed towards the place where the sound came from.
In the place where the sound was heard, the former head of Yakwangdang, Mr. Park Jin-hyeon, was sitting, looking at Dang So-hyang with a kind face.
“Elder······?”
Dang So-hyang tilted her head again. Why was Mr. Park Jin-hyeon here? Could it be that he too was dead?
It was an age where it wouldn’t be strange if I died at any time, but still······.
“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not dead.”
Mr. Park Jin-hyeon continued speaking with a face that said, ‘Hey, you bastard.’
“So-hyang, you’re not dead either.”
“······yes?”
Tang So-hyang tilted her head again.
“Alive······? Me?”
“Yeah, I find it hard to believe, too.”
At the words of Elder Park Jin-hyeon, who said that it was hard to believe, Dang So-hyang’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
“Then, you shouldn’t be here, sir!”
Tang So-hyang was currently destroying not only Tang So-hyang but also all life around her due to the seething poison.
If you are this close to Dangso Hyang, you will definitely die from the effects of her poison.
however······.
“It’s okay.”
“······yes?”
“Would you like to move your energy for once?”
Elder Park Jin-hyeon calmed Dang So-hyang down, saying that it was okay. And rather than distancing himself from Dang So-hyang, Elder Park Jin-hyeon came closer and felt her pulse.
Tang So-hyang had no time to do anything. Elder Park Jin-hyeon’s fingers touched Tang So-hyang’s wrist.
However, Mr. Park Jin-Hyeon was not poisoned by the boiling poison, but rather showed no signs of suffering.
“···Huh?”
Dang So-hyang wondered what was going on.
Could it be that Mr. Park Jin-Hyeon has reached the state of ‘invincible to all poisons’?
······That can’t be true.
The idea of being impervious to any poison was nothing more than a ‘legend’ created by the Sacheondangmun.
“Try moving your energy slowly.”
Tang So-hyang couldn’t understand what was happening, but she carefully pulled out the energy inside her body.
And Dang So-hyang’s eyes widened at the absolutely impossible phenomenon.
“It doesn’t hurt······?”
It didn’t hurt. But that doesn’t mean there was no poison.
Clearly, the poison was flowing through Tang So-hyang’s energy and blood vessels to every part of her body.
But it didn’t hurt at all. The poison flowing through the blood vessels didn’t eat away at Tang So-hyang’s life force, but simply flowed quietly.
It was as if the poison and the sweet fragrance were naturally blending together as one.
Elder Park Jin-Hyeon, who was feeling the pulse, also showed an expression of disbelief.
“Changing the innate energy······I’ve never heard of such a treatment method.”
“You’re changing your innate energy?”
“It’s true. Un-i changed your innate energy.”
“Your Majesty······?”
“Okay, would you like to try to generate some real energy?”
At the words of Elder Park Jin-hyeon, Dang So-hyang carefully gathered her energy.
Phew.
Then, a strong venomous aura rose up through Tang So-hyang’s body.
Dang So-hyang was startled and her spirit disappeared, and Mr. Park Jin-hyeon just laughed in vain.
“······This is ridiculous.”
“What the······?”
“So-hyang, your innate energy itself has become poisonous.”
“My innate energy has become poisonous?”
“Yes, the life force that formed your existence itself has become poisonous, so now you will not suffer from any poisonous energy. If you are impervious to all poisons, then you can say that you are impervious to all poisons······”
A legendary state where no poison can kill you, a state where you can be invulnerable to all poisons.
And Tang So-hyang’s Thousand Poison Limbs, which can freely handle a thousand types of poison.
These two met and were able to control all the poisons in the world and use them as their own limbs······.
“This should be called the ‘Extremely Poisonous Body.’ Fortune has bestowed upon you a new talent and destiny.”
“Are you extremely poisonous?”
“I don’t know exactly. It’s a new destiny that has never existed in the world before.”
Dang So-hyang couldn’t understand what Mr. Park Jin-hyeon was saying. It would be more accurate to say that she couldn’t believe it.
How can a person give fate?
It is solely the role of heaven to conceive and raise all things.
Giving birth to new destiny and talent is also the role of heaven alone, and is by no means something that mere humans can do.
“Is that······possible?”
“That’s why I said that. I also found it ridiculous.”
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon just had a really dumbfounded expression on his face.
“Then, I······.”
“I don’t die.”
Elder Park Jin-hyeon smiled lightly. But Dang So-hyang couldn’t smile.
My body just froze and wouldn’t move.
No thoughts came to my mind.
Tang So-hyang couldn’t say anything or make any movements.
Right then.
“Sir, how is the young lady?”
Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Cheongwoon came in. Then, his eyes met with Dang Sohyang’s, who was still awake, and he smiled brighter than the sun.
“You’re awake, my lady.”
Cheongwoon strode up to Dang Sohyang’s nose. And Cheongwoon had a worried expression on his face, wondering if there was something wrong with Dang Sohyang’s body.
How, how, how······.
Suddenly, tears welled up in the corner of Dang So-hyang’s eyes.
“Oh, my lady?”
Then Cheongwoon started to panic, not knowing what to do.
“Where are you feeling unwell?”
Cheongwoon was worried that something was wrong with Dang So-hyang’s body. However, Cheongwoon could not rashly touch Dang So-hyang’s body.
I was really······ stupid.
It was a foolish Cheongun.
Wow!
Dang So-hyang hugged Cheong-un just like that. She buried her face and body in Cheong-un’s wide and strong arms and hugged him tightly.
“Cow······Me?”
Cheongwoon opened his eyes in surprise and looked even more flustered. However, he did not push Tang Sohyang away, and Tang Sohyang only hugged Cheongwoon even more.
like that.
“Sob, sob···..”
It seems that Dang So-hyang cried for a long time in Cheong-un’s arms.
* * *
I don’t know the exact time, but I think Dang So-hyang cried in my arms for half an hour.
The Tang So-hyang in his arms was so delicate and slender that it could be held in one hand. How many tears flowed from such a body.
It was to the point where I wondered if what was inside her body was not poison, but rather tears.
I was so worried that I might faint from crying······.
“I’m not ignorant, so I’d like to give up my seat, but So-hyang can’t stand it right now.”
As expected, Grandpa Park Jin-hyeon also seemed worried and chimed in.
But while he was worried about Dang So-hyang, why was his gaze directed at me and not at Dang So-hyang?
It was similar to the way Eungseon looked at me, but suddenly, the body of Dang So-hyang in my arms became hot and flushed.
Soon, Dang So-hyang slowly moved away from my arms. Her face, which had turned bright red, contained an inexplicable sense of ‘regret’.
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon looked at Dang So-hyang and shook his head.
Then, Grandfather Park Jin-Hyeon looked at me once. When I tilted my head, Grandfather just let out a small sigh.
“Anyway, So-hyang, your recovery is the priority. Don’t think about useless things today and get some rest. And starting tomorrow, come every day at noon.”
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon spoke to Dang So-hyang with earnest urging.
That would be the case, since there was no longer any need to worry about Dang So-hyang’s life, but recovering the energy she had lost was a separate issue.
“Uni, you too, be careful. In fact, your energy consumption may have been greater than Sohyang’s, so absolutely! You must absolutely not do anything that will drain your energy.”
“I’m thinking of taking a break from training for the time being anyway.”
“······Okay, that’s fine.”
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon sighed as if he had worried for nothing.
Then, Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon was leaving, and I spoke to him as if I was holding him back.
“Sir, why don’t you stay at the missionary office while you’re at it?”
“Huh? Are you talking about the missionary?”
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon tilted his head once and then quickly shook his head.
“It’s done. I’m an old man just waiting for the day I die, but I still plan to live and die as a member of the National Assembly until the end.”
Grandfather Jin-Hyeon Park, who turned 70 this year.
Although he is now retired and can enjoy his old age leisurely, Grandfather Park Jin-Hyeon continues to work as a member of the National Assembly.
At first I thought it was just a hobby, but now that I look at it, it seems to be based on some kind of ‘sense of mission’.
There was a reason he was called a divine doctor in the past, and that made me even more confident in my thoughts.
“Then how about staying at the missionary office?”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
In response to Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon’s question, who tilted his head, I told him a detailed story about ‘Hye-min-dang (惠民堂)’.
A grand plan to train members of the National Assembly professionally and take on the role of treating people based on that, and if possible, to increase its scale.
Grandfather Jin-Hyeon Park, who had been quietly listening to my story, was in a state of surprise from start to finish.
“Ugh······!”
And then, Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon finally bursts out in admiration.
“If it comes true as you say, I don’t think there’s anything better in the world.”
Grandfather Park Jin-hyeon was also pleased with the existence of Hye-min Party.
“But what does my time at the missionary office have to do with Hye-Min-Dang?”
“It’s nothing else. I would like you to take on the role of head of Hye-min-dang.”
“Are you saying that I······?”
“Yes.”
In fact, it wasn’t easy for me to manage Hyemin Party directly.
First of all, I was not a doctor but a ‘warrior’. I had no in-depth knowledge of medicine, and my treatment of Tang So-hyang was not a medical treatment, but rather a twist of fate.
Of course, it was only a matter of time before he could learn the medical techniques of Bian Que and Jian An San Xin Yi, but unlike martial arts, medicine required different talents.
I did not have the confidence to properly teach and educate the descendants of Hye-min-dang, Pyeon-jak, and Geon-an Sam-shin-ui.
But it was possible for Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon.
My grandfather was a member of the Sacheondangmun and the head of the Yakwangdang (藥王堂) sect in the past, and was once a great doctor who was called a divine doctor.
He was more suited to the position of leader of Hyemin Party than anyone else.
He could also be considered a successor to Pyeonjak and Geonan Samshinui.
“I don’t know what the price is······.”
I took a book out of my arms.
This is a medical book that compiles the medical techniques of Byeonjak and Geonan Samshinui, and is a medical book that I ‘copied’.
As I didn’t have time, I’ve only been able to transcribe one volume.
Although it doesn’t fully contain the contents of divine medicine, it is said that it shows as much as you know.
“This, this is······!!”
Grandfather Jin-Hyeon Park’s face turned red with shock as he skimmed through the contents of the book.
“Are you saying you’re going to give this to me······?”
“I am cautious about saying this with my own mouth, but I have additional secret books that compile the art of divine medicine. I will give them all to you, sir.”
“How could such a precious thing···.”
“May I ask you to take the position of leader of Hye-Min-Dang?”
Grandfather Park Jin-Hyeon began to worry deeply at my words.
However, just as a warrior would be greedy for advanced martial arts skills, a doctor would be greedy for advanced medical skills.
“If it’s okay with you······.”
It was the moment when the leader of Hyemin Party was decided.
At the same time, I noticed that Dang So-hyang was fidgeting. She was watching me intently, not knowing what to do, and I could clearly see what she was thinking.
“Young lady, if you wish to continue to stay at the missionary office, you may do so.”
“······Really?!”
Then, Dang So-hyang opened her eyes wide in surprise. I couldn’t help but laugh at her surprised look, like a puppy startled by surprise.
“Why are you so surprised? Did you really think I would kick you out?”
“But I can’t be of any help to you, Confucius. Being a guest is also not the way it should be······.”
“You don’t have to do anything for me.”
“but······.”
I kept saying that I was okay, but Dang So-hyang didn’t seem to mind.
Just saying that it was okay didn’t seem very good. Since she seemed to want to help me in some way, I spoke to her as if I was asking her for something.
“Then how about you manage Hye-min-dang like me, Young Lady?”
“Me, me too?”
“I’m going to learn medicine from you, sir.”
Come to think of it, Dang So-hyang was also the daughter of Sacheon Dangmun, a medical school renowned for its medical skills.
Dang So-hyang lived at Sacheon Dangmun all her life. It is said that a dog in a private school can recite poetry after three years, so she must have learned a lot from watching him.
“I wonder if I······ can do it well.”
“You don’t know anything until you try it. If you learn something and it doesn’t fit your personality, you can always find something else to do. So you don’t have to be good at it.”
“but···.”
“It’s okay. If it was good, it’s a memory. If it was bad, it’s an experience. Whether the result is good or bad. Now, isn’t there always another opportunity open to you, Young Lady?”
“ah······!”
Tang So-hyang’s small lips opened.
A future for Dang So-hyang where the destruction called ‘death’ is no longer imminent.
What was obvious to others was completely unfamiliar to Dang So-hyang.
Suddenly, Dang So-hyang’s gaze changed.
Her determined yet determined eyes no longer belonged to the dead.
“Yes! I will study hard! So I will definitely be of help to you, Master Yun!”
Dang So-hyang clenched her two fists and shouted, and I couldn’t help but smile at her bold appearance.
She will do well.
Even if she didn’t do well, it was okay. Just as not all flowers bloom in spring, there was no reason to be frustrated that her flowers hadn’t bloomed now.
The flower buds called Dangso-hyang have just begun to bloom.
Just as sunflowers bloom to overcome the hot summer heat, and red camellia flowers bloom to overcome the cold winter air.
Just because she bloomed later than others, doesn’t mean her value and beauty fade.
Until the flower bud called Dangso-hyang blooms beautifully.
“I will always support you, young lady.”
I just silently supported her.
* * *
The establishment of Hyemin Party proceeded at breakneck speed.
In fact, I said I would establish Hyemin Party and such, but it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.
So, just creating an organization wasn’t going to make it work. A proper system was needed, but of course, I had no idea what was going on.
All I did was run a remote rural military post, and since the Jang Gang Hyeopgaekdan was all left to the former commander, I didn’t really know anything about the organizational structure.
It was really complicated, but luckily, Grandpa Park Jin-Hyeon took care of everything.
Using his experience as the head of the Yakwangdang (藥王堂), he quickly organized and created the systems necessary for the Hyemindang (惠民堂).
In the blink of an eye, a new ‘Hye-Min-Dang’ was established in the missionary office, and in the blink of an eye, people from our village were lining up to use the Hye-Min-Dang, and soon after, rumors of the Hye-Min-Dang spread to other villages.
The saying, ‘a drop of water pours down and a thousand miles travel’ was a perfect fit.
“If it weren’t for you, old man, what would have happened?”
Truly, he was the world’s most dependable grandfather, Park Jin-Hyeon… no, he was the head of Hye-Min Party.
In the midst of everything going smoothly.
└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]
: The divine sword is finally complete, youngest!!
@청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운 @청운
We were also able to confirm that the divine sword for learning the Cheon-dun sword technique had been completed.
└[Cheongun]
: Is it finished already?
└[Sword Immortal Yeo Dong-bin]
: Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t talk nonsense! The greatest masterpiece of the celestial world has been created! Instead, hurry and come to Gu Ya-ja’s chat room!!
And then, suddenly, Yeo Dong-bin disappears.
What kind of divine sword was created that made even Yeo Dong-bin, known as the Sword Immortal, want to get out of his way like that?
“Guyaja’s chatroom······ Ah, here it is.”
I was able to find Guyaja’s chatroom without much difficulty in the list of chatrooms in the celestial world.
– Would you like to participate in the open chat room, “Guyaja makes everything herself. Inquiries about custom-made swords, swords, axes, bows, spears, and other weapons?”
※Yes/No
Is it because the blacksmiths, who are neither immortals, Buddhas, saints, nor doctors, each have their own distinct personalities?
Unlike other chat rooms, they were not gathered together but operated separately.
Anyway, by pressing the ‘Yes’ button with my index finger, I was able to enter the chat room right away.
In that chatroom, Guya Ja-gwa, Yeo Dong-bin, and Gu Cheon-hyeon-nyeo were first seated······.
“Why are you here, Sister?”
With that in mind, I wrote down a few words as if making a sound.
└[Cheongun]
: excuse me.
