Congressman, Live Again - Episode 33
Episode 33
thud-
“Master……?”
heavy. It's like cotton soaked in water. It didn't seem like it was a joke.
Jin Cheon-hee shook the body that was holding her down..
Yuho said.
“master! Come to your senses! master!”
Zhuge Lin lost consciousness..
* * *
It was cold and painful. It felt like a blade made of ice was about to tear his heart apart..
But it was a familiar feeling to Zhugelin..
-It's not good to live long, so why not think about how you live??
This was the conclusion the head of the family came to after examining him..
When he first felt this pain, young Zhugelin screamed for help. But no one in the Zhuge family could cure that pain..
Sibi handed him a medicine made from cherry blossoms with trembling hands..
It was highly addictive, but it was better to listen to pain than anything else..
Young Zegalin calmly accepted the medicine given only to terminally ill patients..
My parents didn't stop me either.
Jegalin is a child who will soon disappear. It meant to go at least a little comfortably on the way..
But the medicine didn't work at all.
The pain that tore my heart continued..
No matter how much I studied medicine and trained my body, no matter how much I overcame my despair and started accumulating true energy, the pain continued..
There was only one time when I didn't feel sick..
The family suffered disaster, and all blood relatives died..
There was only one time when I swore revenge in the ashes..
Ironically, Zhuge Lin, who was thought to die first, became the last survivor of the Zhuge family..
I couldn't get used to the pain. I just learned to be patient.
Young Zegalin, who had howled like an animal, was now a dry old tree preparing for death..
Sensitivity, once twisted, became even more twisted under the influence of genius..
‘I don't know why he looked so bright. He has what I don't have.’
Since I never had one, there was no room for feelings like jealousy..
I was simply fascinated by the light I saw for the first time..
Even so, I thought it was closer to the feeling of longing because I knew I couldn't have it..
‘It hurts less today.’
Maybe that's why, in his dream, Zhuge Lin felt the pain getting better than usual..
* * *
It was half a day later when Zhuge Lin woke up..
When I opened my eyes, I felt a soft touch on my hand..
When I turned my gaze, I saw a child there, holding my hand tightly with a small fern-like hand..
The whole surroundings were filled with warmth. It was a sensation I only felt when soaking in a hot spring, but it felt even warmer than that..
“Master, you are awake..”
“Is it Yuho?.”
“yes That's me!”
Zhuge Lin's eyes turn to Jin Tianxi..
“Why is Hee here??”
Yu Hao said while looking at Jin Tianxi, who was lying next to Zhuge Lin, with a disapproving expression..
“I was stubborn, making the absurd excuse that I was practicing the Five Elements Mind Method. But master. This whole thing happened because of this bastard.…….”
Yuho could no longer speak..
This is because Zhuge Lin raised his hand to stop him and looked down at Qin Tianxi..
Zhuge Lin looked at Jin Tianxi's sleeping face with sorrowful eyes..
It’s like pouring a bowl of water into sea water..
Even if that little Five Elements Jinki had been poured in, it wouldn't have made much of a difference..
Still, the reason the pain was alleviated was probably because the body's broken balance continued to be encouraged..
‘What was used a lot this time were firearms, gold, and wood?.’
The Five Elements Spiritual Technique, which is a higher level martial art of the Five Elements Mind Technique that Zhugelin is learning, utilizes coexistence and opposites, so balance is important..
In the case of the original Five Element Divine Power users, they do not fall down like this because they use their true energy unbalanced..
If it were such an imperfect martial arts technique, you wouldn't have been able to hear the sound of the new technique..
It's dangerous because it's Zhugelin..
Because the balance of the five elements is suppressing Zhuge Lin's illness..
As Jegalin practiced the air, he felt a similar or slightly different energy to his own. He was just starting out and was innocent, so he had very little energy..
He laid his young disciple down on his bed..
“master?”
“Shh. be quiet.”
Then, I concentrated my mind while holding Jin Cheonhee’s hand..
Jin Tianxi lacked the inner power that he used against Zhuge Lin..
The balance is broken, but it is a pea-sized balance. It was nothing compared to the teacher's..
Zhuge Lin put his true energy into his disciple..
I smiled happily after seeing that Jin Cheon-hee's sleeping expression was relaxed..
Jegalin thought that he wanted to live for the first time in a long time..
I wish I could watch my student become an adult and appear in the competition..
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee opened her eyes to an unfamiliar but warm sensation..
The Master was stroking the head of his only disciple..
“Did you wake up??”
Would it have felt like this if I had parents?.
Jin Cheonhee thought blankly and then shook her head..
The place he was at was an orphanage. It has only recently started to be called an orphanage, but at the time, the name orphanage was more familiar..
There were children who did not know who their parents were, but there were also children who came even though they knew who their parents were..
Although we became friends, it always felt like there was a hole in our hearts..
It was a strange thirst that could not be satisfied..
“Are you okay, Master??”
“He must have been very surprised because he suddenly collapsed..”
I wasn't just surprised. Her mind went blank..
During that time, he watched the lives and deaths of countless patients. But there were no deaths in his family anywhere..
Zhuge Lin was the first person in Jin Tianxi's life who felt that way..
I was as hard as a stone and couldn't do anything..
The medical knowledge I had was of no use. he couldn't think of anything.
All Jegalin has shown so far is the strong, calm, and truly noble appearance of a martial artist..
I didn't realize that he was also a sick person..
Jin Cheon-hee spoke honestly.
“I was very surprised. Master, I was really worried..”
Zhugelin smiled slightly..
“The human heart is so deceitful. I'm sorry for making you worry, but seeing you worry so much for me makes me happy.…….”
I felt like I could understand why the elders of a sect would sometimes admit to being a fagot in front of their students..
When he reached the age of eighty or ninety, he would say to his disciples that his body was aching, that he had no appetite, that it would not be long before he would see his fellow executioners, and then he would come to Baekrin Uigak and secretly ask them to give him a kiss..
However, when there are no disciples, he performs the exercises by swinging the sword at a steady pace..
I can't grow old like this, so I have to somehow reach the point where I can return to my old age and go..
Yu Hao used to complain that people are so old that it is their fault, and now Zhuge Lin also knows how he feels..
This is what it means to have a disciple, he thought to himself..
At that moment, a cough came out of Zhuge Lin's mouth. The cough grew louder and louder..
When he took his mouth off his hand, dark red blood oozed out..
Jin Cheon-hee was surprised and called Yu-ho..
“Yuho! Master……!”
Before he finished speaking, Yuho opened the door. Then he took the elixir from his bedside drawer..
“It seemed like you were getting better for a while... … oh my.”
Yuho sighs and hands over the medicine..
Seeing this, Jin Cheon-hee realized that this was not a one-time occurrence..
‘It was actually a more serious situation than shown in the novel..’
I was complacent. The teacher was a supporting character who disappeared in the beginning..
The only time the Heavenly Demon Yeo Ha-ryun met was when the Master was in a state where he could meet people..
‘The novel… … It's not an encyclopedia.’
The reader ends up following the protagonist's gaze..
No matter how great the teacher is, he is still a supporting character in the end. There was no way I could devote a lot of pages to it..
“Fine… … It's okay.”
Master swallowed the elixir and slowly performed the exercise..
The rough breathing gradually began to return to normal..
“Phew.”
Yuho sighed and rubbed his chest..
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“How is your condition??”
“It's okay.”
“You said that before I was your disciple, I was also a doctor. There is no one in this world who does not know that there is nothing more foolish than hiding an illness..”
“…….”
Zhugelin sighed softly..
‘Even the elders who faked illness like that often hid their illness when they were really sick. I didn't want to know how you felt…….’
But it will eventually be revealed. There were many cases where diseases that could have been cured if spoken of quickly were hidden until the very end and could not be cured..
Humans are such a contradiction.
Zhuge Lin held out his wrist..
“Now, let’s learn about the pulse..”
“You told me the theory..”
“This is my first time trying it myself.?”
“yes.”
“You and I use the same kind of magic, so even if we make a mistake, there is almost no chance of a major accident. There is no partner like this for practice..”
Jin Cheon-hee grabbed his teacher’s wrist..
It was a strong and solid martial arm. It was strange that it was unusually cold..
“Close your eyes and listen to the verses that are sung from now on. Never open your eyes or speak in between.”
Master slowly recited the verse..
Jin Cheon-hee spent his time practicing the Five Elements Mind Method according to the rules..
‘seconds, ultrasound……?’
I could feel Master's insides. It was like ultrasound with poor performance..
Jin Cheon-hee's internal power moved along the master's energy line..
As my enlightenment deepened, this feeling seemed to become more and more clear..
‘This is the pulse through energy. This is what it means to have a feeling.’
And we reached the end.
‘This is really serious. To the point where I can feel something bad even when I look at it..’
Jin Cheon-hee followed the teacher's instructions and cultivated his energy..
Jin Cheon-hee's history, which had been abandoned, has returned to Jin Cheon-hee..
After finishing the pulse, Jin Cheonhee slowly opened her eyes..
Master laughed bitterly..
“How are you??”
“It's worse than you thought.”
“okay. You saw it correctly..”
Jin Cheon-hee's fist gained strength..
“I will definitely fix it.”
“I thought I would be scared, but instead my will became stronger..”
“I will definitely fix it.”
The disciple's voice lingers in my cold heart..
Master nodded, feeling the warmth..
“okay. Let's try together.”
005. Destruction, and agony
a day later.
Zhuge Lin and Jin Tianxi visited the patient room..
Gung-gwi's daughter, Wang Gak-yeon, was lying on the bed, relieving herself, and Gung-gwi was nursing her..
“Thank you! Baeklin’s line! Jin Sohyeop!”
The palace bowed deeply to the two..
After that, the patient, Wang Gak-yeon, the daughter of Gung-gwi, sighed..
When she regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was her father's face with half of his hair stained with white hair..
Covered in tears and snot, I hugged my daughter and said, ‘I’m sorry. sorry!' I was wailing loudly, but I couldn't figure out what was going on..
When I told her that it hurt because I hugged her so tightly, Gung-gwi was so shocked that he let go of my daughter and ran to a corner. She was still crying though.
Wang Gak-yeon slowly examined the true energy inside his body..
