Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 46



Only Noblemtl

Seongmuha (2)

Seongmu was afraid of Yongun. To be exact, he was afraid of his martial arts.

I’ve never seen him in person, but I’ve seen the non-combat opponents he’s created many times.

Heukgiwoong. If his hands were that cruel, I wouldn’t have been afraid, but rather angry. On the contrary, Yongwoon’s hands were neat and precise.

That point became even more terrifying to him.

Most of the opponents in the preliminary round were those who had been defeated by Geumnasu. Seongmu was a young but talented trainee member of the Jeongpa Alliance.

As a member of the National Assembly, he could know better. The man named Gwisoo Gongja had twisted people’s bones more than once or twice.

If it had been twisted just a little more, it would have been a permanent injury, or one that would have required months of intensive care. But it didn’t. All, really all, of the patients were discharged in a few days, and all were fine except for the psychological shock.

It could be seen as kind. It was scary how kind it was.

It was a golden sword that was spread out during the rain. All the enemies were those who were swinging their real swords to kill him. Golden Sword was a martial art that started at close range. He couldn’t understand how the sword could twist so precariously while entering his head.

Everyone’s intensity was the same. No one went further or further than the other. What the heck..

Yongwoon looked at Seongmuha with a happy smile. If he was able to join this political alliance as a trainee member at such a young age, his skills would be no ordinary one.

No, just noticing Gyu-rin’s condition…

“Where on the sword did you see pain?”

“Jaha Shin-gong…! After I took it out, I saw Geom Bong So-hyeop’s little finger tremble slightly!”

Yongwoon’s eyes became even more intense. The eclipse of Jahashin Gong, Jaha Gaebyeok. The purple waves that divided the world and the energy of life and death on either side of it were so beautiful and mysterious that it could be considered a spectacular sight.

In the meantime, didn’t the child who was called Seongmu see the little finger of the plum blossom swordsman who was shaking a little more than the herbivore?

“Yeah… that’s right.”

Seongmuha stepped back slightly in shock. He couldn’t understand what Yongun’s eyes meant.

‘No way… A magic that takes the energy of a young boy-‘

“Yeah, how’s the poisonous dragon?”

Geombong sat down next to Yongun again. She held out her arm, and he took it again. Seongmuha’s eyes widened.

‘Was the rumor about the affair between Geombong and Gwisu Gongja true?’

There was a rumor that spread among the seniors as a joke. Plum Blossom Sword chose Gwisu Gongja, and Mukseong became jealous. The two of them traveled the martial arts world alone for several months…

Seongmuha’s eyes widened as he tried to firmly engrave the sight he had seen in his mind. It wasn’t an ordinary touch to his arm. Right now, Yongwoon was… giving him treatment.

“Huh!”

Seongmuha approached with sparkling eyes. He ran like lightning and knelt right in front of the two of them, looking at the bowl with an excited tone.

The medicine contained in the bowl was made by Yongwoon himself. It was an internal medicine that treated muscle weakness and stabilized blood flow.

“Look around as much as you want.”

As soon as he spoke, Sung Mu-ha quickly picked up the bowl. He looked at the color with excited eyes and smelled it, and then he began to taste a little bit of the medicine in the bowl with his little finger.

“Ohhhh…!”

Where has the fear of Yongun gone?

“Chunpi (椿皮) and Sanyak (山藥) really do eliminate inflammation and treat muscle pain…! But if you add Siamese (巳苺) to them, won’t they reduce each other’s efficacy?”

‘Taste it and you’ll know it.’

“In the case of Samae, Cheonma (天摩) is indeed a medicine for the internal organs, but… may I ask how this is harmonized?”

“Come here first.”

Yongwoon gently grabbed Sungmuha’s back of the neck. Sungmuha, who was excited by the new combination of medicines, realized it the moment he was caught, and Yongwoon kept Sungmuha by his side with only the strength of his hands.

“hmm-”

Yongwoon, still smiling, grabbed the needle and stabbed Seongmuha above the Adam’s apple.

“-!”

No words came out. Seongmuha was confused for a moment, but only then did he come to his senses after feeling a sharp pain.

What the…! He quickly turned his gaze to Geombong and asked for help, but she just watched the whole scene with a faint smile.

‘Surely not even the swordsman!’

“Before you think anything strange, check the condition of my body first.”

Sung Mu-ha checked his body, feeling embarrassed at Yong-un’s words. Indeed, his blood vessels, or more precisely, the blood vessels near his neck, were blocked by poison.

To be exact, the poison blocked by the blood clot was occupying the blood vessel. Even that was slowly draining away with Yongwoon’s saliva.

In other words, when Seongmuha’s eyes widened, Yongwoon calmly explained.

“You just said it. When you mix two medicines that originally have different effects, the effects of both will be reduced. That’s why I mixed in some red-rooted poisonous moss.”

Seongmuha’s mouth opened. The yellow moss found in the cave lakes in the mountains was called ‘little poison’. Although it was common and not a deadly poison, little poison could never be used as medicine.

The poisonous plant was a second-class poison. It was a terrifying poison that would cause red rashes all over the body if one touched it with just the tip of one’s finger without eating it.

“Don’t look at me like that. If you’re a member of the National Assembly, don’t you know that there’s a fine line between medicine and poison?”

But the poison ivy has never been used as medicine!

Using a little poison as medicine was no different from using mercury as medicine. It was not extremely poisonous, but it was pure poison. This means that it was a poison that could not be used as medicine.

He didn’t say anything. He just opened his mouth, but Yongwoon somehow understood what he meant.

“There is no such thing as pure poison in this world. All poisons can be medicine, and all medicines can be poison. Well, actually, the case of a little poison is a little different. A little poison is not a poison that is used as medicine, but people do not know that it is medicine. Now I can say it.”

Seongmuha, who had been stroking my neck for a moment, asked back in disbelief.

“Is it true that the poison ivy itself can be used as medicine?”

“That’s right. What is the disease of the poisonous snake? If you touch it with your fingertips, it breaks out in hives for two hours, and if you eat it, it breaks out in hives all over your body for a day.”

“Yes.”

“I noticed that. The speed at which the poison spreads inside the body is very fast. After looking into it, I found out that the poison is a moss that lives by feeding on energy, and that’s why it grows by flowing through the blood vessels.”

Seongmu’s eyes lit up when he heard this for the first time. He knew what a small poison was, but he was a doctor, not a member of the party. To him, who had only seen the word “sun-dok” and memorized its treatment, the detailed explanation of the small poison was indeed interesting.

“But to use that advantage, the poisonous fish obviously has poison. But that can be easily solved. After taking the poisonous fish out of the water and drying it, placing it on a net and exposing it to hot steam for three hours weakens the poison.”

“Really?”

“That’s why I’m using it. Of course, it didn’t disappear because it was weakened. It’s just something you apply on your skin. You ate it, so I took it out after I put a mark on your throat.”

When applied to the skin, the toxin loses its meaning. Instead, what remains is an effective herbal remedy that preserves its medicinal properties and allows it to circulate quickly throughout the body.

Seongmuha’s mouth was wide open as he explained calmly. His eyes naturally turned to Maehwageombong’s arm.

The Maehwageombong’s tidal wave, which had been a little, a little noisy, was gradually becoming stable. What allowed Seongmuha to enter the Jeongpa Alliance at a young age, was his ability to memorize and his outstanding eyes.

There was respect for Yongwoon in those eyes. Yongwoon felt a different kind of pleasure.

‘Should I have taken on a disciple?’

“Your Majesty, is the deceased a member of the National Assembly?”

“No, I’m not. I just learned medicine as a hobby.”

Although it was cute and admirable, the magic was a different story.

“This can’t be the extent of a hobby!”

Seongmuha suddenly got up and said.

“Go to the immortal doctor right away! I will definitely introduce the great hero Yong to the immortal doctor!”

“linear?”

“Don’t you know?”

Yongwoon blinked. Seonui was a nickname he had never heard before. Seongmuha spoke proudly, his chest puffed out.

“Goodwill Mengjian Dan! You are the proud leader of the Jeongpa Alliance!”

Yongwoon’s face distorted. The name of the Mengjyeondan was something that Yongwoon and Ma-ui could not have not known.

It was he who felt inferior to himself all his life and ended up killing him.

“That guy couldn’t get God, so he got an immortal? Are you in your right mind?”

The words came out on their own. Geombong’s eyes grew wide and Seongmuha froze.

Geom-bong didn’t know the secret behind Ma-ui’s death. He only knew that Ma-ui was murdered by someone. She and Seong-mu were bewildered by Yong-un’s sudden hostility.

“That, what kind of nonsense is that!”

“What nonsense is that? Since that guy is not a god, it seems he couldn’t solve the problem of the devil. Don’t you think it’s funny that he changed his nickname so easily?”

The evil spirit of the demon spread throughout the Central Plains. Three masters of the Heavenly and Human Unity fell at the same time. And the last will and curse that the demon sent to Baek-ui. All of these stories were spread widely by the surviving warriors and by unfounded rumors.

Baek-ui was not revived in the eyes of the entire Central Plains. Although the rumor that he killed Ma-ui out of jealousy ended up as just a suspicion,

‘I thought he wasn’t here because he didn’t show up even though the Yongbongjihoe started.’

Seongmuha’s face turned pale.

“Cancel immediately!”

“What, are you going to be my teacher or something?”

“That’s not it! Your Majesty is not someone who deserves to be called that! He is always wary of public opinion and is reluctant to appear at official events! He is purely devoted to medicine-”

“How can someone like that call me an immortal? If he really has changed his ways like that, he should personally reject that nickname.”

Seongmuha got up with a start, grumbling.

“Let’s pretend today never happened!”

What are you trying to do as if nothing happened? Seongmuha walked out of Geombong’s villa with a big smile on his face.

Geombong, who had been watching his back for a moment, looked at Yongwoon with a worried look.

“Surely not, you’re saying that you used your heart as a sword…”

“It’s certain that the Blind Dogs were involved in that death. I don’t think that Whimok’s words refer to him, though.”

Yongwoon quietly told him about Ma-ui’s death. It was all he knew for sure, excluding the suspicions about the royal family.

Namgung and Nak killed Ma-ui, and there was good intention behind it.

The face of the swordsman darkened. She was proud of herself as a Taoist and a member of the Jeongpa clan. However, whenever she saw this side of her… she could only sigh.

The notoriety of the devil, the grudge of the fallen, all of this could be understood if one understood them as much as possible.

But, it is not right to wish for death just because you cannot overcome it with your own skills…

“I’m worried about that kid. If he tells others that he insulted my good intentions…”

“It doesn’t matter. The child will come back.”

“You’re coming back again?”

“He seemed thirsty for teaching. He was angry when I provoked his good intentions, but it was because he believed that one day he would teach me.”

Young children do not hide their expressions and emotions like adults. Yongwoon smiled absentmindedly.

A face thirsty for teaching… It was even more familiar. It was a face I had only seen in the mirror in my previous life.

Seongmuha’s talent was indeed interesting, but… Yongwoon’s mind, as he said those words, was filled with something else.

The Blind Dog. He’s here now.

Yongwoon’s eyes sank gloomily.

While participating in the Yongbong branch, he did not get the blood of the dead on his hands.

however,

The murderous intent that Yongwoon had given to Hwangbo Jinheon did not disappear from within him. He was just waiting for the right time, waiting for people.

Ma-ui never forgot Eun-won.

“As a soldier, he is silent, as a member of the National Assembly, he is a fierce dog…”

Yongwoon’s head turned quietly.
