AC (2)

 

Mujin, who was lying down despite her earnest request, shook his head without a second thought.

"I don't think that's possible. Lord Sulwhath·"

It wasn't just because I had to see the end of the novel so I could get out of this damn martial arts world.

That's certainly why I started, but I've already lived here for six years.

The connections here were also important to him, and he has now adapted to life here to some extent.

I didn't know what would happen if I died here, so if I had to risk my life, I would have a lot of trouble.

Nevertheless, the reason why Mu Jin refused her request so resolutely...

“··· I can't turn a blind eye to children like me."

It was because of my experiences in Guangxi Province this time.

Places like slave markets and small cannibal inns·

And most of all, I couldn't hold back the anger and disgust that rose from deep within against Shincheon, who was leading the human trafficking business for the sake of saving a child with a peculiar constitution.

I knew better than anyone how horrible and sad it was to be alone at such a young age.

However, what mattered to Liu Xuehua was Mujin's safety.

“··· What if you die? This time, I was very lucky. What will you do if this happens again!"

She screamed uncharacteristically. For some reason, he looked more desperate than venomous.

Mujin couldn't fulfill her request.

"I'm going to have to work harder on my cultivation to prevent that from happening..."

Considering the level of enemies he would have to deal with in the future, he was still a long way off. I felt that fact clearly in this fight with the Nan King.

If he hadn't been careless, if it hadn't been for Yonglin, if he hadn't come alone, he would surely have died.

Mujin's resolute attitude made her feel better.

"I can't let you go..."

Now she's changed, too. She's not the timid and timid woman she used to be.

"You know Monk Mujin, don't you? I've already owed a lot of money."

He has established himself as a merchant and has even been given the nickname of the Golden Lily.

"So like a merchant... So that the monk Mujin can trust and lean on you."

"If something like today happens and you die, you won't be able to repay your debts. That's why you'll stay with me until you pay off all your debts. I'll protect you at all costs..."

She used her experience to speak in a confident manner.

But there were tears in her eyes and her body was trembling slightly.

Tears flowed from her eyes, which looked like they could burst into tears at any moment, at the same time as Mujin's answer.

“··· I'm sorry..."

She stared blankly at Mu Jin, and only later realized that tears were flowing from her eyes, and hurriedly stood up.

"You need to rest, but I've made you uncomfortable. I'm going to wash my face for a while, so take it easy."

After she left the room,

Mujin let out a deep sigh.

No matter how innocent it was, I couldn't help but notice it in such a blatant situation.

Liu Xuehua's favor is not just a favor for a benefactor or a teacher, but a love for him.

I wondered if it made sense for me to like her as a monk, but through her words, I realized.

The words to leave Shaolin and entrust yourself to the top of the heavens. That word that if you stay by your side, you will protect you.

"Huh..."

But Mujin couldn't accept her heart.

It wasn't that I didn't like her. It didn't remind me of her fat figure in the past.

The fact that she achieved her beauty through her own efforts was a story that appealed to her even more, at least for Mujin, who is a fitness junkie.

You just don't know when you're going to die, so you can't just ask them to wait, and even if you don't die and succeed in clearing out all of the gods...

'If I see the ending and I go back to Choi Kang-hyuk, what will happen then?'

He didn't want to start a love affair that he couldn't be responsible for.

At the time, I thought of this as just a fictional world, but now I just don't want to.

* * *

I wonder if it's because I'm now established as a merchant.

Liu Xuehua treated Mu Jin as if nothing had happened, even though it had happened.

Thanks to this, Mujin, who had been awkward for the first few days, was now able to act as if nothing had happened.

Five more days passed, and now that he was awake more than he had been asleep, Mujin opened his mouth to think of something that reminded him of it.

"Oh! Sulwha Lord· Do you know where the children in Ji'an County went?"

"You don't have to worry because the children and the women are all comfortable here."

"That's good. Oh, and have you checked out the sojerge called Baekgayeong? He's a pretty sickly Sozer . . ."

A white family that may serve as a sac in the future. He was the only flesh and blood relative of the Baek family, and perhaps even smarter than the Bai family, so he was worried about Mu Jin in many ways.

However, it was Yang Dongming, not Liu Xuehua, who responded to Mujin's words.

"It's a question that reminds me of when I first came here. I heard that there was a critically ill patient, so I rushed over, but beyond the critically ill patient, there was already a half-dead man lying on the ground, and there was another critically ill patient next to him."

"Do you mean Sozer?"

"Are there any other seriously ill patients besides her?"

"Have you tried that saucer?"

Yang Dongming shook his head in response to Mu Jin's question.

"It was a seven-syllable vein."

"Oh..."

When I saw the symptoms, I expected him to be that kind of constitution, but it was a strange feeling to hear the confirmation directly from the doctor.

"I'd say it was a good thing... If it had been a globular vein, my body would have died years ago, frozen to ice. However, the seven-syllable vein is also less than the nine-syllable vein, and the remaining life span is not very long. If you get a special elixir or learn how to use the Heat Keeper, you'll be able to live like an ordinary person."

Even if you take elixirs or learn special martial arts, you will not be able to become a master, but at most you can live like an ordinary person.

You may feel that there is no income compared to the investment, but Mujin had a different idea.

"Lord Sulwha... Can you tell the children and the women what is going on in the heavens? In particular, if you can teach Bai Sozer and his brother, Confucius Bai Jiahuan, you will probably be able to help him a lot in the future."

If her body could only be treated as normal as a normal person, her excellent sense of humor would be of great help.

I didn't mean to save her for that calculated reason, but...

"Hmm· That's true, isn't it? Usually, people who suffer from seven-syllable or syllabic veins tend to develop their five voices to an abnormal degree. But is there a way to cure her? As far as the councillor can say, but there is no elixir of the Polar Keeper in our Maple Sheep family that can feed her."

"At the musculoskeletal clinic, it will help soothe her penis as much as we do heat treatment. And now that they are allowing her to do so, it won't be a big problem for her to learn it through a musculoskeletal clinic."

When I brought up the topic of the musculoskeletal treatment clinic, Yang Dongming's eyes lit up.

And Liu Xuehua, who was listening to the conversation between the two, readily accepted the request without any change in expression.

"If Monk Mujin wants, I'll go ahead with it..."

The reason why Liu Xuehua readily accepted Mu Jin's request was because of the change in his mindset.

She decided that if it was impossible to stop Mujin, it would be better to use the power of the Heavenly Stream to help Mujin finish what he was about to do easily and safely.

And Liu Xuehua was willing to take over the position of the Upper Heavenly Stream Lord as a woman in order to draw on the power of the Heavenly Stream Upper Stream a little more.

* * *

It has been about a month and a half since Mujin collapsed. It's been about a month since I first woke up.

"Definitely· All the internal organs seem to have healed, and all the wounds have been sealed. That's a ridiculous body..."

Yang Dongming, who had taken a last look at Mu Jin's details, muttered with a twinkle in his eye.

He looked like a mad scientist dreaming of human experiments, and he was horrified.

Mujin pretended not to recognize the terrifying gaze and thanked him.

"Thank you for taking care of me. God's Elder· Lord Sulwhath·"

And Mujin, who got up from the bed for the first time in a month and a half, headed to the bath to wash himself with his own hands for the first time in a long time.

‘··· Wait· When I thought about it, who washed my body all this time?'

Even so, I wouldn't have let it go for a month and a half.

Especially if you just lie still, you can get pressure ulcers, so someone would have to wash your body.

The image of a woman naturally appeared in Mujin's mind, which was crazy about it.

'No way...'

As much as she had always been taking care of him, she must have been the one who wiped his body.

'You didn't show any signs of seeing all the sights!?'

Liu Xuehua Qian, who had been thought to be naïve until now, was getting more and more like a merchant as it happened last time.

Mujin, who managed to hold back the fact that he was about to blush, arrived at the bath, and soon the crisis of Shima came.

"What is this!? Is this me!?"

A bathtub filled with water· When he found his reflection in the water, Mujin's eyes were red and bloodshot as if they were pouring blood.

His reflection in the water was literally half of it.

If you take a month and a half off from exercising, you won't lose so much muscle.

The problem, however, was that he had suffered a serious injury to his internal organs and was unable to eat.

Without any protein or fat, the body has lost a lot of muscle that it has lost in more than a month.

"You bastard!!!!"

Looking at his reflection in the water, Mu Jin had already finished his interview with Yeomla and cursed the king of Nang, who would have fallen into hell.

It was all because of him.

With a single blow from it, the muscles he had trained for six years vanished like a mirage in the desert.

Of course, on the other hand, thanks to the dedication of the lucky diet and the help of the Tang Yak, he gained a huge amount of internal work in a month.

'No, I don't. Nope! I don't think all six years' worth of it has been blown away!'

What mattered to Mujin was the muscles rather than the internal muscles.

'That's right! If you look at athletes, even if they take a few months off from exercising, they will go back quickly if they start working out again. I'll just have to work hard for a few months and I'll be back to normal."

Mujin decided to start muscle rehabilitation first.

I wanted to clean up a few more branches of the Shincheon faction right away, but for now, muscle rehabilitation was a priority.

In the first place, Mu Jin's martial arts were based on his overwhelming strength, so in this state, it would have been suicidal to go to the Shincheon Branch.

* * *

After confirming his condition in the bath, Mujin began full-fledged rehabilitation.

However, since my intestines had just recovered and I was starting to eat for the first time, it was impossible for me to eat meat or protein right away.

Therefore, Mu Jin had no choice but to start with Miyin, followed by white porridge, vegetable porridge, and egg porridge, gradually training his stomach and eating food.

While training his stomach for five days, Mujin gradually trained his body with a focus on muscle lengthening techniques to loosen his stiff body.

He wanted to start with iron right away, but Mujin knew very well that iron without protein intake was just muscle abuse.

Then, after about five days, I was able to take meat and protein supplements little by little.

"Phew..."

Finally, Mujin settled down in front of the lovely piece of iron.

"Let's not overdo it. First of all, I need to check my condition."

Mujin struggled with the impatience and started squatting with an empty stick.

After a few repetitions and warming up his body, Mujin realized that an empty stick was more doable than he thought, and gradually increased the number of weight discs on the empty stick.

"Phew..."

Just as he felt that his body was about to be overwhelmed, Mu Jin, who had put the steel rod on the river shelf, let out a deep sigh.

"First of all, the limit of squats is about one hundred and ninety pounds (114 kg)."

It seemed high for a month and a half of lying down, but it wasn't enough for Mujin.

After that, a simple measurement of the weight of the three major movements showed that at most three to five hundred 'near'· In modern terms, the limit was about 300 kg.

This is only a one-time (1RM) standard. The last time Mu Jin left Shaolin for the Dragon Seal Society, the last time he measured it was more than one thousand two hundred kun on a single basis.

It's just that he trained for the fight with endurance rather than muscle size.

Even if I measured it by the twelve times, it would have come out to about a thousand.

Realizing that the three-to-one number had dropped by half, Mu Jin felt like he was about to be struck by the coin, but he tried his best to think positively.

“··· Still, it feels like a lot compared to being so skinny, isn't it?"

And it didn't take long for Mujin to realize why.

"Oh! It's because of the Jade Steelmaker..."

Jade Kumgang is an external hole that strengthens the skin and bones and compresses the muscles.

The problem was that the Jade Kumgang Gong was still in the same state, but the muscles had shrunk and the skin had compressed the muscles even more.

In other words, he still had more muscle than he looked.

"But I'm not starting from scratch."

After checking the current status, Mujin quickly sorted out his future schedule.

"I need to build muscle right now, so let's go on a bulking diet."

Mujin ate every hour and a half, eating six meals a day.

It was a diet to absorb protein without a break in line with the digestion and absorption cycle of protein to build muscle.

“··· Are you really a Shaolin disciple?"

It was a bonus that the attending physician, Yang Dongming, who was watching Mu Jin's protein-rich diet, burst out laughing.

"If you eat well, you'll get better quickly."

Mu Jin replied with a heavy swallow of the meat, and asked Yang Dongming with a rather fat expression.

"Isn't it true that there are more patients coming to visit you?"

It may be disrespectful to speak to the person who healed her, but Mujin was uncomfortable in many ways.

The way he looked at himself as if he were a test subject.

When Mujin was eating, and when Mujin was exercising, Yang Dongming was staring at him from one side every day.

It wasn't Liu Xuehua, he wondered if Yang Dongming liked him.

Yang Dongming burst out laughing at Mu Jin's half-blatant congratulatory decree and opened his mouth.

"Hmph... In fact, the reason why I came all the way here is not just because of the money given to me by the Heavenly Stream."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard from Liu Xuehua Sozer... The patient I need to heal is a Shaolin disciple named Mu Jin."

“··· So you're saying that the patient came all the way here because it's me?"

"That's right..."

"Did you know me?"

"Hahaha· How could I not have heard your name? I've been hearing about it for a long time. The nickname of the impassive..."

From Yang Dongming's answer, Mu Jin felt a certain strangeness. Recently, his nickname that spread in Wulin was Shaolin Divine Dragon.

The nickname "Inpassive" was created three or four years ago. It was a nickname at the time when I was active in a musculoskeletal treatment clinic at the height of my career.
