Chapter 66
##66fury. A night where misunderstandings deepen
‘retardation of elixir.’
In my mind, I gave that name to Old Man Gong’s constitution..
There was a huge amount of stagnant energy inside Old Man Gong's body, and in order to suppress it, he had to balance it with the elixir medicine..
However, due to the special law of the God of Life and Death, the evil energy and weak energy coexisted in Old Man Gong's body for a long time, and the two energies became stuck as one body..
That's why when I used a reverse heavenly technique to remove the drumstick from Old Man Gong's body, a medicine cabinet came with it..
‘To the average warrior, this is just Germany…….’
To me, who had mastered the Reverse Heavenly Art, it was like an elixir of heaven..
What was the reason you wanted to make money through private tutoring?.
It was to buy the elixir needed to increase the achievement of the Reverse Heavenly Art..
But the elixir came to me on its own..
‘It's not just old man Gong who has achieved fortune..’
After a while, I slowly opened my eyes, having collected the poison and medicine that had entered my body..
“Whoa whoa…….”
When I took a long breath, a terrible smell came out of my mouth..
It was because the newly accumulated turbidity in the body was old and severe..
“her…….”
Old Man Gong also opened his eyes. He looked up at the ceiling with a blank face. The black spirit ran over and looked at old man Gong’s body here and there..
“Elderly! Are you okay??”
“……Hehehe.”
“Uh, old man.?”
“Hehehehe.”
“You're out of your mind... … ! You caused an accident! I know who this is!”
Chaeng!
The moment the black spirit with a drawn sword approached me, a soft sigh was heard from behind her..
“I'm fine, so don't make a fuss. How much are you going to embarrass me?.”
“Uh, old man? Are you okay??”
“You wouldn't know it if you looked at it.”
Old Man Gong got up from his bed. Even at a glance, I could see that my complexion was better than before..
“My body feels light. It was true. Heh heh. Pulling out the tableware... … . But are you okay??”
“……yes? Oh, it's okay..”
It was only when I looked in the mirror that I could understand why Old Man Gong was asking such a question..
My face reflected in the mirror was as pale as a corpse..
‘I haven't absorbed even half of it yet, but this much.…….’
The harmful energy and medicinal energy that entered my body had not yet been completely absorbed by me. To do that, proper luck was needed..
Since I can't explain it all, I just gave it to the two people..
“This is a side effect of pulling out turbidity. As time passes... … Phew. It'll be okay.”
be out of breath.
My vision was a little dizzy due to the terrible cloudiness I felt for the first time in a long time..
But I felt like I was flying.
Although I was in a cold sweat, I tried to smile and say.
“I'll pull out the Takgi a few more times like I did today. But then the medicine in your body will also come out. In the end, it is a better method for the elderly... … Would you mind??”
“Of course. however… … Are you really okay??”
“haha. it's okay. After a while... … . Wow?”
beetle.
My body swayed without me knowing. I was barely able to regain my balance when someone reached out and supported me..
It was a black spirit.
She was looking at me with shaking eyes.
“It’s okay… … Are you sure??”
“Ah, yes. what. I'm a little dizzy.”
I barely managed to keep my balance and nodded..
Sweat was streaming down my forehead..
I guess I developed a fever because I took in too much concentrated poison and weak energy..
The thought of absorbing all of this in a moment brought a smile to my face..
“……why are you smiling like that?”
“yes? What is it?”
“It's fatal to your body right now... … . no. It's your choice. I have no intention of interfering..”
What are you talking about??
When I stared, she avoided my gaze..
“Thank you… … Yes.”
“oh. I know how to say things like that. I thought I was going to get angry again.”
I said it with a smile, half joking, but contrary to my expectations, she lowered her head..
‘Why is this happening? The atmosphere becomes awkward…….’
Big. I cleared my throat and turned my head to look at Old Man Gong..
But Old Man Gong was looking at me with an expression as complex as Heukyeong’s..
“you…….”
“yes?”
“My nose is bleeding.”
“ah?”
When I wipe my nose with the back of my hand, red blood appears..
I laughed awkwardly out of embarrassment.
“I didn't even know I had a nosebleed..”
“……I don't know what to say now.”
just say it.
Why are you like this??
I couldn't understand the sudden serious mood of the two people..
Plus I was very tired..
I feel like my head isn't working as well as usual..
“……Anyway, you two can rest now. Full-scale classes will begin tomorrow. I need to cry and wash my body..”
“……I understand.”
“……yes.”
I somehow ignored the uncomfortable looks on their faces and turned around and left the room..
‘Hehehe.’
I was already excited at the thought of absorbing the toxic and medicinal energy that entered my body..
‘If you can absorb all the toxic and medicinal energy accumulated in old man Gong's body,…….’
It was clear that the achievement of the heavenly magic would be a huge leap forward..
Then suddenly a thought occurred to me:.
‘Should I quit being a lecturer and become a lawmaker? I think the income will be quite nice..’
For a moment, I thought so..
* * *
After Baek Soo-ryong leaves the room.
“I can't believe it even after experiencing it myself. A body that can't do anything about life and death…….”
Gongsunsu looked down at his own body and made an expression of disbelief..
How long has it been since I felt this light?.
It's been five years, no, ten years.
More than ten years ago, Gongsun Xiu collapsed from heavy work and was on the brink of death..
Luckily, the God of Life and Death took care of his body, and he was prescribed a special treatment and was able to wake up..
But even the will of life and death could not completely cure him..
Because it wasn't the illness that caused him to collapse..
- Polite noya. If you continue to live like this, you will live about five more years at most. If you want to live a long time, you need to step away from the front line and recuperate..
God of Life and Death gave such advice seriously, but Gongsun Su laughed and passed it off..
-Okay, so please prescribe some medicine..
After that, I took all kinds of elixirs and medicines that were said to be good for the body, and in order to move my body, I took up martial arts, which I had forgotten about since childhood..
And years passed.
The Emperor ordered Gongsun Su to go to his hometown and recuperate..
It was not an exile or demotion, but a measure taken out of the emperor's sincere concern for Gongsunsu..
‘I thought I would close my eyes after seeing the scenery of my hometown for a few years.…….’
I suddenly decided to take martial arts tutoring..
At this age, he made a plan to take the entrance exam to Cheongryong Academy..
It started out as a way to kill time in the boring daily life that was not long left in my life..
I honestly never thought it was possible..
‘however…….’
The young man who had just left the room said it was possible..
It wasn't just words.
He pulled out some of the toxins that had accumulated in his body for decades..
That alone made my body feel so light as if it could fly..
perhaps… … Wouldn’t it be possible to learn martial arts??
“Hehe… … . I guess I'm not dreaming right now?”
“Elderly.”
The black spirit prostrated itself before him..
As far as Gongsun Su knew, she was a great expert..
Since her knowledge of martial arts was much deeper than his own, Gongsunsu asked her a question..
“What Mr. Baek did to me. Is it possible for anyone who is a strong martial arts expert??”
“It's impossible.”
Heukyeong shook his head resolutely..
The high or low level of martial arts is not the problem..
What Baek Soo-ryong did was impossible in the first place..
“Martial arts is based on absorbing the energy of Mother Nature and expelling the turbulent energy. I've never heard of the opposite.”
“……Isn’t there something called Heupseongdaebeop in Moorim??”
“Heopseongdaebeop is a method of stealing the opponent's energy and making it your own. Over time, all kinds of internal energy get mixed up and the blood vessels burst as a side effect, so it is classified as magical energy..”
So, did Baek Su-ryong learn magic??
It didn't look like it was black..
Although his tone was arrogant and his actions were mischievous, his eyes were full of energy..
“Even if it’s called Absorbing Great Method… … Absorbing turbid energy is like committing suicide..”
Even experts in absorbing energy do not do crazy things to absorb toxins into the body..
Because it ruins your body..
If it were poison, it could be detoxified, but the only way was to take a long time and release it little by little..
At least, according to her common sense, that was the case..
‘Even if you have learned special techniques that can alleviate side effects,…….’
It doesn't change that it's a fatal poison.
Probably right now, Baek Soo-ryong is doing his best to drive out Tak-gi..
……I couldn't even imagine the black spirit..
The fact is that Baek Soo-ryong is now grinning as he absorbs the poisonous energy absorbed from Gongsun Soo's body with a reverse heavenly attack..
she said with a dark expression.
“perhaps… … He may have lost quite a bit of life today.”
“!!”
Gongsunsu's eyes widened in surprise..
He said that Mr. Baek lost his life because of him.?
why?
‘Because of just 10,000 silver coins?’
Although it was a large sum of money that ordinary people could never touch in their lifetime, it did not seem that money was that tight..
-This is a side effect of pulling out turbidity. As time passes... … Phew. It'll be okay.
The face of Baek Su-ryong, speaking with a bitter smile, came to mind..
He was drenched in cold sweat all over his body and stumbling around because he couldn't keep his balance..
Blurry eyes after losing the gun.
The images of him wiping the flowing nosebleed with the back of his hand and smiling awkwardly overlapped one after another..
“Why on earth for me…….”
“I think... … Isn't it because of responsibility?.”
“Responsibility??”
Heukyeong’s words made Gongsunsu look puzzled..
Why on earth does the word “responsibility” come up here?.
Heukyeong spoke his thoughts calmly..
“Teacher Baek said he would definitely admit the old man to the Cheongryong Academy. After that, he found out about the elderly man's physical condition, and he must have realized that it would be difficult to even take the entrance exam in that condition..”
“so?”
“Then there is only one way. To somehow make the elderly body healthy. In the process…….”
Heukyeong continued speaking with a deep sigh..
“Even if your lifespan is shortened.”
“It can't be……!”
Heukyoung has lived a life where he has to obey the orders he is given and complete them even if it means risking his life..
Therefore, he had the prejudice that other people had similar ways of thinking as him..
The problem was that Gongsunsu was a similar type of person..
Gongsunsu, who understood Heukyeong's words at once, looked like he had been hit on the head with a hammer..
“I guess I've been looking at the wrong person……!”
“Same goes for me too.”
The two people overestimated Baek Soo-ryong by their own standards..
In particular, Heukyeong was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his face..
She pointed a knife at Baek Soo-ryong several times and even threatened several times that she would not let him go if he harmed the elder..
‘I believed only the smooth face and thought the installer was a fraud.…….’
When she found out that Baek Soo-ryong, who she thought was like that, actually gave up even his life to keep his promise (it had already become a foregone conclusion in her head), she felt great shame..
“Huh... … . I have received a favor from him that is too much to bear.…….”
“yes…….”
In this way, the misunderstanding between the two people about Baek Soo-ryong deepened..
Of course, there was nothing bad about the person involved..
