Congressman, Live Again - Episode 730
Episode 730
Jin Cheon-hee put down the coin and was immediately served a meal..
Steaming grilled beef.
In modern times, it was a dish similar to kebab..
“Oh, it's delicious.!”
“The expression changes immediately. Is it that good to eat??”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheonhee just smiled. the innkeeper said.
“If you're good at playing, I'll teach you the secret to making it..”
Jin Cheon-hee liked the inn owner. Because she was a well-spoken person..
“If so, I will not decline it..”
After finishing the meal, Jin Cheon-hee put down her luggage and decided to look around the village..
The reason I came to this village was to track down blood missionaries and estimate the damage caused by rinderpest..
* * *
Hwang Gu followed Jin Cheon-hee around as if protecting her..
According to what I found out while looking around,…….
“In the old days, there were ten times more cows. But at some point, isn’t it going to start to go out of fashion? The shamans are trying their best to keep him alive, but it's not easy..”
Aren't people carrying dead cows somewhere with a muffled sound?.
‘As expected, it’s a mess because of rinderpest. Still, I'm holding on thanks to some magic..’
Unlike Earth, there was still one thing I could trust..
While I was walking around like that,.
Jin Cheon-hee met the children..
“Something to eat… … . please give me something to eat.”
“teacher… Something… … Please give me something delicious.”
The children surrounded Jin Cheon-hee, a stranger, and begged for food..
I wasn't scared when I saw Hwanggu's size..
Rather, hunger was the problem..
It was a dry body with only the internal organs sticking out..
‘Even if there is witchcraft. After all, it's not like it's completely different from Earth..’
Rinderpest is sweeping through. It was obvious that many people were starving..
In fact, it's strange that this city is so peaceful..
If you look at the history of the Earth, there was a great rinderpest famine in the African region where people died of starvation one after another..
This ranch town was not yet in a hell of royalties where starvation occurred one after another..
Even the inn owner still seemed relaxed..
However, for those who have nothing, the path of suffering continues from now on..
Jin Cheon-hee took out dry food from her arms..
“If you put this in water and boil it, porridge is ready, right? for a moment.”
Put all the dry food into the hands of the children..
“Wow! Thank you ah!”
“I got food! Guys!”
“The blind guy gave us food!”
I wish I didn't have to say that last word. But hey, he's a kid. Because that's a person.
Jin Cheon-hee passed without notice..
‘By the way, the officials here are not doing anything..’
There was only a king, but it was virtually anarchy..
There is a noble family in the area, but since they are not officials who pass exams, the positions vary depending on who is in power..
And if you take bribes or pay taxes, the king will most likely not cut off their heads..
Unless you're plotting treason.…….
‘Umm… … . Bureaucracy has many disadvantages, but when you look at this, you can see why it is necessary..’
Like that, County Commander Jin Cheon-hee sighed..
Then suddenly I heard the sound of sutra chanting..
something was strange.
Isn’t the purpose of usually reading sutras to clear the mind?.
Not only was this the first time I had ever heard this sutra, but the atmosphere was strangely sticky and indescribable..
‘no way?’
The place where the sound is heard is inside the alley where the children disappeared..
Jin Cheon-hee follows it and goes in..
In a small vacant lot between old, shabby houses, a monk wearing a blood-red robe and shaved head was distributing beef jerky to the poor..
They were all so thin that their internal organs were visible..
The clothes I was wearing were all worn out, so much so that my skin was almost visible..
I guess my health wasn't good and it smelled awful..
Nevertheless, the monk did not frown at all and handed out the food..
Jin Cheon-hee quietly swept Hwang-gu’s head..
Hwang-gu looks at Jin Cheon-hee and sniffs..
Smelling the beef jerky handed out by the monks.
keung.
It doesn't mean it's a strange food..
Eventually, when all the poor people returned with food, the monk opened his mouth..
“Who are you and are you watching the events of Hinayana??”
“I was a wandering musician, but I started walking when I heard an unfamiliar sound of sutra chanting..”
“You seem to be a person who follows the path of alcoholism. My name is Tayang, and I am a mysterious monk who follows the teachings of Hyeolbul. Since I have abandoned my worldly name, you can just call me Tayang..”
The voice was low and comfortable..
Like a lullaby to a child.
‘Follow the teachings of Blood Buddha…….’
It's an ominous name..
However, it was too early to jump to conclusions, so Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“I heard you were distributing beef jerky to the children.…….”
“Those children are children who have lost their parents or have sick and weakened family members. Because I'm still young, I can't work and I'm starving. How could you not have mercy on this? Hinayana is just helping children to be able to endure at least a little bit..”
“That's great. Can you tell me which temple you belong to??”
Those words brought a smile to the monk's face..
“I'm practicing it at the Hyeolbulsa Temple..”
‘Blood immortal! Then, are you the same blood Buddhist monk who was with the magic bandits earlier?!!’
A blood-immortal monk is doing good deeds here.!?
Aren’t the magic bandits and the Blood Immortals part of the same team??
‘But this person is not lying. The movement of the body, the reaction of the muscles, it's all true. Or is this person a good person? The blood Buddhist monk who was with Blood Pungsa is a corrupted evil man.?’
maybe so.
It might be a bad habit to immediately be suspicious of people you meet for the first time..
Aren’t there apostate monks at Shaolin Temple?.
But Jin Cheon-hee’s expression did not move at all..
Despite feeling a strangely cold attitude, the monk was not at all intimidated..
“Then, I think I've answered everything the donor was curious about. If we're meant to be, I'll see you again.”
He tried to go back as if there was nothing more to do..
“By the way, can I get some beef jerky??”
“All right.”
Without hesitation, he handed the beef jerky to Jin Tianxi..
* * *
Since I couldn't use someone else as an experiment, I tried it myself..
Since I can decipher and, if necessary, have knowledge of magic, there is no subject like me..
‘No poison, no curse... … . The taste is just like beef jerky..’
whine!
Hwang-gu seemed disappointed because the owner took away the beef jerky that he was supposed to eat..
“Uh-huh! What if it's junk food?.”
Jin Cheon-hee took out the beef jerky she had made herself and fed it to Hwang-gu..
And then I thought.
‘They said there were a lot of sick people.…….’
Jin Cheon-hee thought.
He said he wasn't trying to do a good deed, but was just doing it to get information..
Therefore, Jin Cheon-hee decided to wander around more and look for patients..
First, let’s make Hwanggu a little bigger..
Then, he immediately carved out a wooden stick lying around and made it into a flag..
In the language of this town, write [God-given healing shaman] on the flag..
OK.
The first one to come was the girl who gave me dry food..
“mister. It's really treatable?”
Is it because he has an old face? It’s been a long time since I heard the word ‘uncle’..
The child was young and his speech was slurred..
“of course.”
The child introduced his house to Jin Cheon-hee..
At first glance, it was a shabby house, more like a hut than a house..
The stench was terrible, and it was clear that tree branches had been burned to cover up the smell..
“My parents?”
“Dead. Because there are only three siblings, including me and my younger siblings..”
The child said very easily that he was dead, not even that he was dead..
‘It looks like there is no adult taking care of him..’
Suddenly, I remembered Sima Hyeon when I was young..
Sima Hyeon and Sima Hui. And the children that Sima Hyun took care of alone..
Sima Xuan still mocked himself and said he was lucky..
Thanks to Master Seok, I learned writing and martial arts..
He said that it was unfortunate that he became so entangled with Hao Moon, but that he knew many children who were less fortunate than him..
The 'unlucky' children that Sima Hyun thinks of are the ones in front of him..
Children who obviously don't know martial arts and can't learn writing..
But the good news is that no child like Sima Hye seems to have a serious illness..
I don't know who is more unlucky, but at least if Sima Hyun thinks he's lucky, then maybe that's it.?
And will these kids later consider themselves lucky??
Qin Tianxi stretched out his hand and sedated the children..
‘You're malnourished..’
It's common, but it's the worst.
‘I've already used up all the dry food. Write it. Should I go to the inn and get my luggage?……?’
Now that I think about it, there is another way..
Jujugwa (果)).
What I Learned from Jashi.
‘It sucks out life force and bears fruit. That vitality is myself. Make a magic fruit by sacrificing me.’
When learning magic in front of Jashi, it was done with small animals, but in fact, what Jin Cheon-hee wanted to do was something else..
‘I've already tested it a few times, but it went well. It was much more effective than sacrificing small animals..’
When he took out the archaic words he had previously drawn on the back of his hand and recited the mantra, red fruit formed in the air and fell into Jin Cheon-hee's hand..
widely-
Originally, there should have been a tree that sucked up corpses, but the entire process was skipped and only the fruit was created..
He performed an incredible feat that would have been astounding to any other shaman, but the child did not know anything about it..
However, since there is fruit in front of you, you can only be surprised by that alone..
“This isn't something that only really great shamans can use.?”
Still, it looks like he knows what witchcraft is..
As expected, Jashi was a great shaman..
“Try it.”
The child tried to take a bite first, but held back and fed the witch's fruit to his youngest sibling..
As soon as the bright red fruit entered the mouth, the child's body, which had been panting, came back to life..
When I took my pulse, I saw a noticeable return of vitality..
‘It is also much more effective than regular witchcraft..’
Because it is not done with a person's life, but with one's own life force, there is no curse left behind..
“Wow! You were such a great shaman.!”
“You're so good, why can't you see??”
“you idiot! Originally, shamans would deliberately poke out their own eyes to see spirits.!”
This is the first time Jin Cheon-hee has heard of it..
‘By the way, even though I used the magic from the witchcraft department directly on my body, there were no side effects..’
Tree root magic that creates magic fruit is magic that does not require a contract with a spirit..
However, in order to use this spell to produce the fruit of life, a sacrifice with vitality was needed..
I was in a hurry and thought about taking my own life, but there was no sign of any decline..
‘This is probably because of [that].’
* * *
The girl was overjoyed.
I am supporting my two younger siblings on my own. Of course her treatment is expensive.
Then, I was glad to receive this help..
On the other hand, Jin Cheon-hee's heart was heavy..
‘It's like peeing on a frozen foot. This.’
It was like that when I worked for a relief organization..
In the end, unless the country changes, people who die will continue to die. The child continues to starve.
Because we could only put the situation on hold for a while and not solve it..
‘But I'll probably last a week with this..’
Doesn’t life run toward possibility in just that one week?.
