Congressman, Live Again - Episode 168
Episode 168
The shaman of the Supreme Heavenly Demon is moderately rotten..
Of course, it is not completely rotten, and there was talk that it was acting as a hypocritical political faction and that there was a lot of internal turmoil..
This means that even good believers are mixed together..
Plus, it's not yet at the peak of rottenness since the Heavenly Demon has yet to come out in person, so it's at a decent level..
Anyway, it was a good time for Cheonwoo to learn martial arts and fly like a mountain bird when necessary..
“I have come to collect the remains of the deceased and return them to the shaman..”
I answered as politely as possible and spoke roughly about the deceased's hamja, rank, and location where he was found..
This answer surprised me to the point where my eyes popped out, probably because I hadn't expected it..
“Ah, I see. Please rest here for now.!”
With that said, he guided Jin Cheon-hee to the biggest and best tea room..
Baekrin Uigak Incinerator So Baekryong's name and the meaning of this situation were big..
Jin Cheon-hee quietly entered the tea room and received tea..
I thought while warming my hands with warm Yongjeong tea..
‘How big was Cheonwoo?.’
We've always exchanged letters and gifts, but this is the first time we've seen each other in person..
‘I hope you used the robe and scarf I gave you well. I also carved out gloves and jade tablets that I made by guesswork and sent them to you..’
I'm already curious about how that kid grew up..
‘I was told that most of the scars have disappeared.…….’
However, the human body is so cruel that once an eye is lost, it does not return..
Originally, there were many cases in which the eyeball was removed and a prosthetic eye was inserted in an emergency situation, but if a glass prosthetic eye is manufactured using the modern method, it must be replaced every 1 to 2 years..
And it doesn't end there..
In this day and age, even a knife attack can be really dangerous..
It was better to preserve it when possible rather than extract it, and the new techniques of the Shaman faction are optimized for curing, as is the case with the Jeong faction..
After thinking about it in many ways, I decided that it would be better to preserve my eyes and wear an eye patch..
So I made an eye patch and sent it to him..
‘In your letter, you said that you are using your eye patch well..’
They continued to send it to me according to my growth process..
Cheonwoo was very happy and responded every time..
slurp-
‘It is expected.’
It was like that even in modern times..
As a doctor, it was very rewarding to hear that the child I treated grew up well and healthy..
I was in a good mood all week when we happened to run into each other and recognized each other..
‘How much has it grown since then?.’
This is how I met the child I treated at that time..
Jin Cheon-hee's expectations were already high..

The remains of a Jeonjeondae elder of the shaman sect who disappeared in Bulguigok have been returned to the shaman after a long time..
The shaman was shocked by that fact..
“Do you mean true? Myeongdeok Sasuk, Myeongdeok Sasuk is back!”
Martial people age later than ordinary people. This was especially true for warriors with profound enlightenment..
Although he was over 80 years old, he only looked middle-aged..
But the eyes belong to an old man.
Also, to Jang Mun-in, who had the eyes of an old man, the deceased was still Sa-suk..
“It's finally here…….”
As tears welled up in Jang Mun-in's eyes, the elders held their breath..
Myeongdeok.
It is the name of the deceased..
The name was given in the hope that one would always be bright and virtuous..
Myeong-deok lived as a shaman with Jang Mun-in, but one day he became a guest of Buddha..
Sa-suk, who has had accidents and sometimes done mischievous things..
Jang Mun-in searched for Sa-suk's body like a mouse, but was unable to find it..
“Did you say Sobaekryong? I need to meet you in person.”
Elder Jeong Gwang hurriedly stopped those words..
“There is no need for Jang Moon-in to come forward in person. We can meet you instead..”
“no……!”
Jeong Gwang could be said to be a powerful figure in the shaman faction..
After blocking a long-standing Jeonghyeong Taoist, I was hit by an enemy's sword, and I could barely use my left arm..
Feeling guilty, Jang Mun-in tried to listen to anything Jeong Gwang said, and Jeong Gwang gradually expanded his influence within the shaman faction..
But this time, Jang Moon-in was different..
“I will welcome Sasuk in person..”
“I know how your brother wants to welcome Sasuk. But doesn’t handing over the remains also require procedures? The shaman’s long letter is a key position. Keep your weight and leave the rest to us..”
“risk!”
Several elders cleared their throats at Jeong Gwang’s words..
The ashes are not a problem, but the problem is the amount of money Jin Cheon-hee brought with him..
Originally, Yangui Shingong was a new practice that only a small number of practitioners within the Shaman sect were allowed to practice..
The problem was that the stipend would be held by another shaman who was not permitted to do so..
And Jeonggwang was that unauthorized entity..
The previous Jang Mun-in did not allow it to just Jeong Gwang..
Even though Jeong Gwang became an elder and took his place within the shaman sect, Yang Ui Shin Gong was bound by his will..
It was the command of a ancestral scholar who had early understood the nature of Jeonggwang..
But I'm going to go get the Yangui Shingong's stipend instead.?
It was obvious what it meant..
“That can't be possible. Gwangah Jeong…….”
This is the name given to Jeonghyeong, the shaman's general, when he was not an elder or a general..
That's why Jeong Gwang also called him by his nickname when he was young..
“execution. Are you not going to let me until the end?.”
“I don't need to tell you how dangerous Yangyi Shingong is, if you learn it incorrectly. There must have been a good reason why your predecessor did not give it to you and tied it up in his will..”
“…….”
Jeong Gwang clenched his fists. Her fingernails were digging into her palms and causing them to bleed.
‘this much… … Even though I have gained this much power, is it not possible for me to receive the divine power of Yang?!’
Prepared everything thoroughly.
The reason he got stabbed instead of Jang Mun-in in the first place was because Jang Mun-in himself felt that way in an urgent situation..
Jeong Gwang was just injured while aiming for the enemy's blind spot..
You don't know how devastated I was when I couldn't move one arm..
Therefore, he took advantage of his guilt and attracted numerous elders and lower-ranking children to his side..
In order to obtain positive divine merit!
I aimed for the slim possibility that it might be possible to repair my arm..
Nevertheless, the sentiment remains unchanged..
With a face filled with guilt, I blocked it, saying that I couldn't do that..
‘You must not miss this opportunity.’
If you miss this time, you may not get another chance to learn Yangyi Shingung..
Just for a moment, just close your eyes.
All he had to do was receive the payment and deliver it to Jeonghyeong, and that Jeonghyeong trust his conscience..
Or at least I hoped you would pretend to believe me..
I would do anything for that.
When Jeong Gwang cleared his throat, the elders began to say a word one by one..
“Are you saying you don’t trust Elder Jeong Gwang?.”
“If that's true, I and the other children will join us and observe while the remains are received..”
A long fight has begun.
Originally, there would be no room for controversy..
It was a fight between a desperate, rotten Daoist and a Jang Mun-in who was weakened by guilt..

While the meeting was held at the Shaman faction, Jin Cheon-hee sat quietly and ate refreshments..
‘Well, the shaman's refreshments... You put a lot of cinnamon in it. There will be likes and dislikes. This is definitely an adult's taste. Still, Suksu is not lacking in skills. X-flavored tea group acting out Taoist frugality.’
Strictly speaking, it is a bit difficult to say that Tao is a tea ceremony..
The reason I pretended to do that was because all the ingredients used in this refreshment were expensive..
‘Wasn’t there beef fat in this slice? First of all, it's clear that shamans eat meat..’
On the outside, it looks like a frugal vegetarian snack, but it is fried with beef fat and there are traces of pork fat as well..
‘I don't think it's to your taste, Master. this.’
If it's okay, I'd like to learn a lesson and serve it to Master's tea table, but this is so good that Zhugelin will throw it away after three bites..
‘When the teacher says it's sweet, it's definitely sweet, and when it's bitter, he likes it to be bitter. Because I don’t like the taste of these kids who pretend to be Taoists..’
But that didn’t mean it wasn’t Jin Cheon-hee’s taste..
Jin Cheon-hee emptied the refreshments at a rapid pace and called for them to be filled and emptied..
Every movement of eating was elegant, but the speed was formidable..
It was then.
“brother……!”
Grumbling-
The door to the tea room opened and a man as big as a mountain came in..
‘who… … nine……?’
Full body muscular, white tiger-like clothing, and black leather gloves. A black eye patch on my face.
The voice was obviously very kind, but the impression it gave off was so harsh that Jin Cheon-hee's thoughts stopped for 3 seconds..
And around his neck was a black and white rabbit scarf..
It was too small and cute for a man to wear..
“Surely a thousand... … right… … you?”
“Brother, nothing has changed.!”
He has grown into a handsome young man with a great face, but the synergy between his eyepatch and his body is formidable..
Rather than a shaman's master, he seemed like a master of the Sapa who had experienced many hardships..
On the other hand, etiquette is also a prestigious political faction itself..
“You've grown a lot.”
“Brother, you can hug me just once?”
“okay. Let's hug each other.”
As soon as Jin Cheon-hee gave permission, Cheon-woo hugged Jin Cheon-hee. Then she patted my back with her big hands..
“Don’t you know how much I missed you? How happy I am to see this.”
Apparently, Chunwoo was between life and death due to malnutrition and congenital syphilis at the time..
He was a child I was worried about, to the point where saying he was small would not be enough..
“The strength of the shaman faction is really good..”
“ha ha ha. I had a hard time because my joints were so sore, but at some point they grew like bamboo..”
“Great. Good. It's good to see you healthy.”
I felt rewarded as a doctor..
“You still wear the rabbit scarf..”
“My brother gave it to me, so of course..”
“……I'll make a new one and send it to you.”
A rabbit scarf doesn't make sense for someone that big..
“Oh right. brother. I received a nickname.”
Jin Cheon-hee's eyes widened at those words..
Becoming a lay disciple and leaving at the right time was a different story than receiving enlightenment and putting down roots..
“Then marriage will be impossible for the rest of my life, but that's okay.?”
Becoming a non-partisan Taoist was not simply a matter of living with that mindset..
There may be some differences in rules depending on the work, but basically, you must live single without having a companion throughout your life..
In an era when the value of the body, the country, and the world was handed down like the golden and jade ancestors, the fact that the generations were not passed down was that big of a deal..
“are you okay. I had no intention of getting married in the first place..”
“…….”
Although Cheonwoo didn't say anything, he seemed to have made a big decision..
The answering voice was even reassuring..
“okay. A life devoted only to martial arts has meaning..”
Jin Cheonhee was a little moved..
