Taejonbirok Volume 3 Episode 6

Chapter 19 – The Gate of Medicine (1)

The Sungcheonjeongmu Alliance.

The Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance, which leads the Gangho region, and at the center of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance, the Mengjujeon, two men were sitting facing each other.

At first glance, he was a gentleman in a blue suit who could be mistaken for a man of letters. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like he was over 40. He was a man who didn't seem to fit in at all with the leader of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance, a symbol of power and force.

But if you see the polite attitude of the military officer Jeongmu-myeong and the special investigator Jo Hyeon sitting across from you, you will change your mind.

There was only one person in the world who could elicit such a polite attitude from Shin Gi-su-sa Jo Hyeon, the undisputed second-in-command of the political alliance.

Fist Extreme Sima Qianshi.

This man is Sima Qian, the leader of the Sungcheon Martial Arts Alliance and an unparalleled martial artist known as invincible with just his two fists.

“What did you say?”

Sima Qianse's eyes twitched.

It may seem strange that Sima Qianse, who appeared to be in his forties, would treat Sin Gi-su-sa condescendingly. However, Sima Qianse was already a hundred years old.

His profound internal energy made his body young.

“I confirmed that the child of Pengga has made contact with the Green Forest and the Iron Blood Gate.”

Sima Qianshi closed his eyes slightly at the new investigator's answer. He was organizing his thoughts.

“That kid?”

“This is a child named Pengdoguk from Pengga. It is said that the Green Forest Ten Swordsmen chased after that child, but they were able to defeat them with the help of heavenly luck.”

“Even the Nokrim Ten Swords? If it’s something they value to that extent, shouldn’t we assume that the Nokrim has already decided to move together with the Iron Blood Gate?”

“I agree. If the talks had broken down, they probably wouldn’t have tried to hide it so much.”

“The Iron Blood Gate and the Green Forest… This is a big problem.”

Sima Qianshi's deep sigh seemed to represent his feelings.

The current world of martial arts was chaos itself.

Twenty years ago, after the rise of the remnants of the Demonic Cult, fortunately there were no major incidents, allowing each faction to accumulate unprecedented power.

When one is full, it overflows.

The world of martial arts, filled with powerful forces, was like a powder keg about to explode.

With the Eastern Jeongmu Alliance and the Western Cheon Ui-ryeon (天義聯) dividing the world into two, and various sects boasting of their power, small disputes sometimes led to large-scale bloodshed, and it was not uncommon for a sect to disappear due to minor conflicts.

Although the Jeongmu Alliance is desperately trying to coordinate, they have limitations in handling this situation alone.

Moreover, if the Iron Blood Clan, which is considered the most belligerent among them, joins hands with the Green Forest, something will definitely happen.

“Are you sure?”

“Because this is a serious matter, we are checking and checking again. However, it is certain that the situation is becoming so serious that we cannot help but prepare.”

“What about Cheon Iryeon?”

“It’s not moving at all. It’s just…….”

"but?"

The new detective opened his mouth with a dark expression.

“The Iron Blood Clan has maintained friendly relations with the Celestial Alliance since the past. If this coordination with the Green Forest is taking place under the protection of the Celestial Alliance, the situation could become even bigger than expected.”

“The Iron Blood Gate in the Thousand-Yi-Lyeon, and on top of that, the Green Forest……”

Sima Qianse felt a pang in his chest. Just imagining it was a huge force that made his head spin. If they had really formed an alliance, the Zhengwu Alliance alone would not have been able to handle it.

Sima Qianse sighed.

“If we go against Cheon Eui-ryeon, how much blood will we have to shed…….”

Shin Gi-su closed his mouth as he looked at Sima Qianshi's pensive appearance.

“By the way, didn’t you say that the boy named Peng Do-geuk escaped from the hands of the Nokrim Shipgyeom? Did he not only escape but defeat them?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, that’s really great. How old is that kid?”

“I have just barely passed the terms.”

“Huh!”

Sima Qianse looked at the divine investigator with astonishment and amazed eyes.

“There are tigers growing in Pengga! To face them at such a young age! It seems that the next world will belong to Pengga.”

The new investigator shook his head with an embarrassed expression.

“No, it seems like someone helped me.”

I spoke with a lot of weight on my shoulders, but my strength drained from my words. Sima Qianshi asked in a trembling voice.

“Who helped you?”

“The person who helped me is not that old either. No, he is even younger than Peng Do-geuk.”

“You’re younger than Peng Do-geuk! Hey, you, speak frankly!”

The new investigator smiled faintly.

“It’s not something I can easily tell you. Because if you knew who that child was, your Majesty would be very happy.”

“Do you want to see me die of frustration?”

When Sima Qianshi beat his chest in frustration, Shin Gi-su continued speaking as if he had no choice but to open his mouth.

“Peng Do-geuk said that a boy named Wi Yeon-ho helped him.”

“Wei Yan Ho?”

“Yes. It seems that Guangdongwei is the second son of the noble family. He was said to have disappeared for five years, but he recently showed up.”

“You say it’s right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That’s right! Who else but Jeong Hyo-geom would raise such a child! Aaam! That’s right!”

Sima Qianshi's face brightened.

If it was Jeonghyeopgeom Wi Jeonghan, he would be one of his most cherished juniors. Wasn't he the one who had shown the greatest performance as a member of the Jeongwu Alliance during the rise of the Demonic Cult twenty years ago?

At that time, Wei Zhenghan was the leader of the army led by Sima Qianshi, so Sima Qianshi knew him better than anyone else and cared for him more than anyone else.

“That guy, I haven’t seen his face in five years, and in the meantime, he’s been turning his son into a dragon!”

“The eldest son is also Weishanho, famous for his swordsmanship. In ten years, the Guangdong Wei family may be called the best in the world.”

“Hahaha! That’s a very welcome thing! And it’s only natural. If he had remained in the political alliance back then, he would have definitely had a footnote position by now.”

“Yes.”

“No matter how chaotic the world is, the leaders who will lead the world are appearing one by one. How can we say there is no hope? When these children lead the world in the future, it will be our job to make sure everything is smooth.”

“You are right.”

“Wei Yanhu, Wei Yanhu……. Hehe! He was raised by Jeong Hyo-geom, so of course he will have good conduct, and his fighting spirit will be great! And he is also a warrior! A dragon has emerged from the Wei family! He will do great things for the world of martial arts!”

Shin Gi-su, Jo Hyeon-eun, has filed a complaint.

I didn't know how long it had been since I'd seen Sima Qianse look this happy.

“Jeong Hyeop-geom, I hope that friend will also return to Meng on this occasion……”

“That will be the case. The first one has already graduated from military service, and the second one has also become an adult.”

“That’s how it should be.”

A hazy look appeared in Sima Qianshi's eyes.

It seemed like he was reminded of the time when he was a single warrior who criticized the martial arts world, not the leader of the Sungcheon Jeongmu Alliance.

“Yes, those rich people will be a great help in these turbulent times.”

“It is the fortune of the Gangho.”

These two people were seriously mistaken about something.

* * *

Wei Yanhu, who was considered the leader of the Jeongmu Alliance and the military leader of the Gangho region, was now rolling around on the floor.

Wei Yan-ho, who had accumulated fatigue from following the path and mental fatigue from what he had experienced at Hanrim University, had reached a point where the floor was him and he was the floor. Except when he was eating, he would roll around for twelve hours straight, so the floor would heat up on its own.

Any shred of conscience that had hindered him when he first arrived at the Holy Land had long since flown away with the incident at the Galaxy Battlefield.

Wi Yeon-ho, who had resolved the last of his conscience with the money he received from the Galaxy Battlefield, had become one with the ground, free from all the burden on his mind.

And thanks to that, those who watched him realized how ugly and useless human beings could be.

“Okay.”

Jin So-ah, who entered the room carrying the dining table, frowned at the sight of what appeared to be a human being rolling around on the floor.

“Get up.”

“…….”

“The meal is here.”

The eyelids of Wei Yanhu, which had been tightly shut like a ten-year-old rock, slowly revealed their magnificent eyes as if the heavens and the earth were being created.

"rice?"

“…….”

"rice!"

Jin So-ah let out a deep sigh without realizing it when she saw Wi Yeon-ho wriggling and crawling towards the dining table.

How ugly can humans become?

Jin Ye-ran, who was carrying the table herself for the first time, watched Wi Yeon-ho for a few days, and then left the job of carrying the table to Jin So-ah and stopped caring about Wi Yeon-ho.

Jin So-ah also didn't want to see her only older sister get involved with such a scoundrel, so she took on the job without saying a word. However, these days, Jin So-ah was regretting her choice back then.

Wi Yeon-ho smiled brightly as he took a bite of the roasted duck leg.

“It’s delicious! You should eat some too.”

“……I have a question.”

"say."

“Don’t you feel uneasy?”

"huh?"

Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.

"why?"

Jin So-ah had eye boogers stuck all over her eyes and dried saliva stuck to the corners of her mouth.

“Have you ever washed since you came here?”

“If you wash too often, you’ll get sick.”

Jin So-ah didn't ask him because she thought he had washed up. Anyone could tell that Wi Yeon-ho's appearance was not that of someone who had even splashed water on his face.

He simply asked if he had even a shred of conscience left, and as expected, Wei Yanhu did not disappoint him.

And if you have any sense, you shouldn't be spouting nonsense about how washing your hands too often will make you sick!

If you are a thinking person!

“Okay.”

Wi Yeon-ho lowered his head after seeing Jin So-ah's expression and pressed his nose against his clothes.

“Sniff sniff.”

Then he shrugged.

“Are you okay?”

'If that were okay, the neighborhood beggars would have a neat freak.'

But Jin So-ah couldn't bring herself to say what was on her mind. Even when she was faced with a person who had violated the most basic human standards, Jin So-ah never let go of her last shred of courtesy. That's why family education is important.

Wi Yeon-ho examined his body a couple of times, then tore at the duck leg again.

People who have mastered the martial art of ascending by utilizing internal energy always have their energy circulating, so dust does not stick to them easily and their bodies remain clean.

But that too had its limits.

The energy flowing through his body worked tirelessly to purify him, but it was impossible to cleanse Wei Yanho’s body. At least once a month, he had to be washed or at least given a change of clothes for the purification to work.

No matter how clean your body is, you can't wash the clothes you're wearing.

In the process of expelling the heat absorbed from food through the pores, foreign substances were absorbed into the clothes, making them dirtier day by day.

“I’ll prepare some bath water, so you should wash up…….”

“Why are you bothering me?”

'If that's too much of a bother, then you shouldn't be living.'

Jin So-ah once again suppressed the words coming out of her mind.

If I say everything I want to say, I might become a mortal enemy with this person. It's not like I can fight with a guest who came to see my father!

But Jin So-ah, who couldn't keep her mouth shut, opened her mouth heavily.
