The Heavenly Demon Gives a Massage

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Even if you do not use your body, you must first have a healthy body, and furthermore, it means that you need basic physical strength for everything.

And this small truth also includes the Murim people.

Nae-gong, which operates the qi, and O-gong, which handles the body.

If you ask which one is more important, it’s definitely the former. The level and depth that can be reached are different, and no matter how big and hard a water bottle is, if there is no water to fill it, it is just an empty bottle.

Therefore, even when judging each other among the Murim people, history is taken as the criterion, and the criterion for dividing the rough state is also divided into ‘how to deal with internal energy’.

However, does that mean foreign work is useless?

That’s absolutely not the case.

It’s just too ‘basic’ and ‘essential’.

A body trained with external gong not only enhances the power and technique of martial arts, but also clears the true energy and blood flow in the body, which leads to the improvement of the efficiency of internal gong.

In other words, in order to reach a certain level or higher with internal energy, it means that appropriate external energy training must be followed. so that.

“Huh, uhhh… … .”

Kang Tae-han stopped by a nearby fitness center after work today to focus on physical training.

‘Has the body started to gain elasticity?’

Kang Tae-han, who came out of the balloon, looked around himself in front of the mirror for a while.

The flab had dried up and the thick muscles were clearly visible on the surface. It’s still not quite what I was aiming for, but compared to when I first came back, it’s a much better body. If you keep going like this, you will be able to reach your goal in no time.

‘This body has no injuries or scars.’

In fact, to be honest, it is a healthy body that cannot be compared to before. Because his body during the Moorim days was rather an obstacle to him.

Countless injuries, dozens of scars, and blood entangled as a side effect of the Great Absorption Method. His body, both externally and internally, was a rag-like thing that had been sewn and patched here and there.

On the other hand, how is your body now?

He is fine without a single scar, and even overflows with youthful vitality. Of course, the efficiency of training is bound to be different.

Moreover, even if you don’t know the mental method, the current method is much more technical and efficient when it comes to body training. Kang Tae-han looked around lightly.

Various types of instruments placed all over the place.

Arms, legs, and endurance as well as individual muscles can be intensively trained, and even the intensity of exercise can be selected according to oneself through precisely manufactured weights.

‘It can’t be compared to the days of Moorim.’

Beating the heated sand, going up and down the mountain with a rock on your back, mopping the floor alone… There is romance in martial arts, but to be honest, there is no exercise equipment, so they are forced to perform at least that kind of training.

If any Murim person sees a modern fitness club, he or she would dare to compare it to the shrine of the God of War. Modern technology is sometimes more mysterious than magic or faith.

‘As for my body, it might be better than when I was in my prime.’

It’s only been a month since I cut off my membership here.

At this rate of growth, it will be a fairly easy process. Kang Tae-han looked into the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

Meanwhile.

“Look over there. Do you think that person is him?”

“that person?”

“Why, someone who raised from three to five hundred in one month. The director told you not long ago.”

“Ah, does that make sense? is it real How is that a body made in a month?”

He wasn’t the only one who noticed Kang Tae-han’s training. At his unusual growth rate, Kang Tae-han was becoming a celebrity at this gym without realizing it.

‘By the way, I wonder if there was an answer.’

A fate we met by chance while climbing Gyeryong Mountain not too long ago.

It was a relationship that began when Kang Tae-han rescued a man who had fallen down a steep hill due to a mistake.

Before Kang Tae-han started exercising, he had left a text message for Park Ho-yeon, one of the people he had handed over his business card at that time. If it’s okay, can I go to the mountain you mentioned back then?

He did not intend to show condescension for saving his life, but considering the possibility of the bellflower wine and elixir he drank at that time, it was worth condescending.

It’s not like this, let’s check.

I think I finished all my workouts today, Kang Tae-han headed to the locker room and checked his smartphone.

“There you are.”

Fortunately, the text arrived.

However, the content was different from what Kang Tae-han had thought.

[Sorry for not contacting you first, student Taehan. Actually, there is a story that I couldn’t tell because I was afraid I would make people worry about it, but other than that, my friend who had an accident at that time is still not conscious. So maybe hiking… … .]

“… Well?”

It seems I can’t go right away.

* * *

The next day, Wednesday.

Kang Tae-han, who arrived at Daejeon Station by train in the morning, immediately took a taxi and headed to the hospital. Of course, it was the hospital where the patient Kang Tae-han had saved the other day, Mr. Shin Jun-ho, was hospitalized.

[If it’s urgent, I’ll even tell you the location of the mountain. Maybe even if Junho was conscious, he would have said it was okay.]

“Hmm.”

Kang Tae-han read the contents of the text messages exchanged the day before. I will tell you the location of the mountain, so it’s okay to go there alone.

Then it would be possible to go directly to the mountain without going to the hospital. As long as I knew the location, I was confident that I could go around on my own even without a guide. However.

‘Because it’s embarrassing to pass it on like this.’

Doing good to others is not a matter of that concept. The picture itself of digging up something in the mountain while the owner is unconscious is not the way to go.

To put it bluntly, arches!

I couldn’t say for sure yet, but it was all the more so because I was in a situation where I didn’t know if I could help.

And since he said that the person he had saved once, not another person, was still not conscious, there was something that bothered him even more.

‘But, at the time, there seemed to be nothing wrong.’

Kang Tae-han recalled the time of the rescue.

Of course, at that time, I checked the other person’s condition, albeit informally. There were some injuries, of course, as he had fallen unconscious after falling down a hill, but there were no serious injuries.

‘Well, I’ll find out when I go.’

There may have been a deeper problem, or something went wrong along the way. Anyway, it’s enough to check everything when it arrives.

In no time, the taxi arrived at its destination.

Kang Tae-han got out of the taxi and raised his head.

Baek Hospital. It is a large hospital, at least one of the largest in Daejeon, with land and buildings larger than most parks.

Park Ho-yeon, whom I met then, said that he was the head of the hospital here.

If so, it would have been natural that his friend, Mr. Shin Jun-ho, was later transferred to this place.

“… It’s a bit ambiguous to go empty-handed.”

Suddenly, looking at the gift sets displayed in the shop at the front door, Kang Tae-han looked down at his empty hands.

First of all, the name of coming here was to visit the hospital, and wasn’t it to continue a good relationship? Kang Tae-han stopped by the store and bought a box of nutritional drinks.

“Is this enough?”

“Ah, aren’t you a Taehan student?”

While I was checking the price tag of the gift, someone recognized Kang Tae-han from the front. One of the people I met in the mountain at that time was Park Ho-yeon.

“hello… Director.”

Kang Tae-han pauses for a moment, not knowing what to call the title, and then hurriedly adds it.

“You really came. It must have been a long way from Seoul.”

“After hearing the story, I got stuck in my mind for nothing.”

“This is so… On behalf of Junho, I should also express my gratitude.”

Park Ho-yeon said with a faint smile. It was a smile that seemed somehow bitter.

“Chief of the hospital, we… … .”

“Oh yeah. You guys go in first.”

At Park Ho-yeon’s words, the party behind him lowered their heads and moved on. They looked like other doctors at the hospital.

“It looks like you’re on your way to eat.”

“Well, I came a little later than usual… It was rather a good thing that I ran into such a shy student. If you are on your way to the hospital, I will go with you to guide you.”

“Are you okay?”

“Something else isn’t okay.”

“Then I’m fine.”

Kang Tae-han said with a smile.

It was something I felt the last time we talked, but he was a very good person with clear energy.

* * *

“No one is there.”

With a click, Park Ho-yeon entered the hospital room and turned on the light.

Quite spacious room for 4 people with 4 beds. However, there was only one person inside, Shin Jun-ho, who was lying on the bed.

Being in a large space, it might seem rather dreary, but the atmosphere on the patient’s bedside was quite warm. It was because of the bouquets of flowers and all kinds of presents neatly piled up on the table, and a clumsily drawn picture.

[Dad, don’t be sick.]

A picture of a family that looks like it was drawn by a child and the clumsy writing underneath it. In addition, many people came and went, and traces of family members staying for a long time were left here and there. Kang Tae-han lightly laughed as he put down the drink box he had brought among the presents.

“It seems that quite a few people have been there.”

“He’s a guy with good human relations since the old days.”

Park Ho-yeon said simply, but he was probably not a perfect person, but a so-called good person. Sometimes you can tell at a glance how someone has lived.

“You seem like a nice person.”

It’s also a good thing for Kang Tae-han. It was because it was better to do favors to the good than to the bad.

“If you don’t mind, can I check the patient’s pulse?”

“vein… You mean?”

“I’ve learned a few things over your shoulder.”

Hmmm, Park Ho-yeon pondered for a moment, but then nodded. It may not have been an appropriate decision for a doctor, but considering the appearance he showed on the mountain at that time, he had a hunch that something might be going on.

“Then, let’s focus for a moment.”

It’s not someone else, but the hospital director’s permission is gone, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Kang Tae-han carefully measured the blood on Shin Jun-ho’s wrist and the back of his neck.

‘… After all, there is no problem on the outside.’

What I checked then was not wrong.

In fact, it looks normal except that it has a respirator and a bandage on its head. His complexion is fine, and his pulse is normal.

“I don’t have any major problems with my body.”

“There was nothing wrong with the examination.”

“but… I guess I know a little about it.”

“What does that mean?”

Kang Tae-han put his finger on the back of Shin Jun-ho’s neck, putting off an answer for a while. He quietly closes his eyes, raises his internal energy from the danteon, and sends it into the opponent’s bloodstream.

You don’t need a lot of drilling here. Rather, more than necessary inner strength only creates the risk of inflicting internal injuries on the other person.

very small amount. Send only the necessary amount of internal energy, stretch it like a thread, and expand your senses as if you were expanding your senses.

‘… As expected.’

A section from the neck to the top of the upper section.

Tak, there is a place that is blocked like a wall. As you can see, the blood flow itself is weaker than normal.

“I can do it.”

“What… Are you saying you can do it?”

Kang Tae-han’s eyes turned to Park Ho-yeon. For an instant, Park Ho-yeon’s body shrank. It’s hard to explain, but… The atmosphere was different from Kang Tae-han from a while ago.

“I thought I might be able to help him.”

“I-I mean, what does that mean?”

Instead of answering, Kang Tae-han turned his head back to the patient.

Sangdanjeon is a part of the brain that is in charge of thinking ability and mind, physically speaking.

It is an indispensable part for maintaining life, and a key organ that constitutes the human mind and personality.

It is often said that if the Hadan Hall is broken, the life of a Murim person ends, but if the Sangdan Hall is broken, life itself is cut off. Even if you can save your life, it’s hard to stay sane.

In other words, the place where safety is the most sensitive.

That’s why, sometimes, when you feel a huge shock or a threat to your life, there are times when the connection with the upper stage is severed, leaving only the minimum life support function.

Like a hermit crab that hides inside its shell when touched, it’s an instinctive last resort to protect even if it’s a reflex, upper-end battle.

If so, the solution is not difficult.

A section of the blood road that was blocked like a wall. It is enough to stimulate the section slowly and carefully release it so that it can come out from the inside.

Besides, the necessary preparations are already in place.

A small amount of internal air flowed right up to the front of the section.

Through it, lightly stimulate the blocked entrance.

once, twice, three times.

‘If you’ve fallen in love with the main fire or the simma, there’s no choice.’

For now, this is enough.

Did you repeat that dozen or so times?

“Turn it off… … .”

The eyelids of the bedridden patient, Shin Jun-ho, twitched.
