Absolute Regression

Episode 167 You start getting old from the moment you stop working.

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised to hear the words ‘mandok-imchimjiche’.

When you become impervious to poison, no poison in the world works. This means that poison cannot kill him. In martial arts, the thing you had to be most careful about was poison, so your biggest weakness would disappear.

“You think you can achieve that so easily?”

“Your master will achieve it easily. “It was a long and difficult journey to get to this point in my life.”

Seo Dae-ryong was once again impressed by the sword dance. How can he explain the fate that brought him to treat him and then made him an imperishable person?

“Are you jealous?”

“Not at all.”

“why? “You look like a greedy person.”

“That greedy person is a greedy person who knows fractions. I believe that each person has a size of container that contains their given destiny. My fate is such that I have to give my all, including everything, to win the Soryongjeon. It also grew tremendously after meeting Gakju. “In the past, we only made soy sauce.”

When I think back to the time when I had a dark and gloomy personality and was full of revenge on my senior Hwang Cheon-gak and resentment towards the Heavenly Demon Church, I thought that I had made a big decision about soy sauce.

“I have seen many times how big your destiny vessel is. I’m still watching it now. Rather than being jealous, I’m more grateful. “I have more things to say to my grandchildren later when they sit on my lap.”

“Then why do you look so anxious?”

“I was wondering if you were going down this path because you were destined to accomplish something in the future. “I’m unintentionally his right hand man, so I can’t avoid that fate.”

“If you think your dish will break, just run away.”

“Even if everyone runs away, I can’t go. He showed me how he carried me all the way here without stopping and gave me 500,000 nyang. Thanks to you, I was completely ruined. If I can’t escape anyway, is there any other way to make him stronger? Please make me stronger.”

“All the ingredients that we have been saving are going into there. “Even if I want to, I can’t do it anymore.”

Chung-ui massaged his shoulder as if the pain was coming again.

Seo Dae-ryong massaged her shoulders.

“no. “Why can’t you heal someone else’s shoulder pain while making it easier for others?”

Chung-ui smiled bitterly and answered.

“Everyone lives like that. Hey guy, do you think it’s different? Ah, to the side. A little further to the right. Yeah there. Ah, it’s cool.”

The sword dance was locked in the barrel for two more days from that day.

Chung-ui continued to add various ingredients to the container, and the smell became more and more foul.

And when the last ingredients were added, something amazing happened.

A fragrant smell began to emerge from the container that had been filled with a terrible smell.

It really felt like a lie. However, the final ingredients did not have a scent that could absorb all the odor.

It felt like the strong smells were combining again and again, and when the last one was combined, it turned into something completely new.

Seo Dae-ryong placed his hand on the barrel and wished earnestly in his heart.

‘Cheer up, Lord!’

* * *

At first, I really felt like I was going to die.

I felt like I would rather fall into the most foul-smelling and dirty place in the world, but not into this container. Oh, that doesn’t work. This is probably the place with the worst smell in the world.

“Take this medicine and go home.”

“What medicine?”

“This is a drug that will kill you for two days. “If you’re scared, you can give up now.”

“What about giving up? It is a welcome medicine. “It’s a place you can never enter while alive.”

I took the medicine Chung-ui gave me without hesitation.

I swallowed the medicine, closed my eyes once, and when I opened them, I was lying in bed.

Only then did I feel it. Two days have already passed. I didn’t dream and I had no memories. I must have been dead for two days and then woke up.

When I opened my eyes like that, this time Seo Dae-ryong was looking down at me. He looked at me quietly and said with a serious expression.

“After careful consideration, I decided not to repay the 500,000 nyang.”

The only person who can make me laugh as soon as I open my eyes is Seo Dae-ryong.

“I’ve never lent you 500,000 nyang?”

At that time, Chung-ui came into the room and said.

“Leave that cruel, thoughtful guy here. “I must make him my disciple.”

Then Seo Dae-ryong was scared and stepped back.

“I would like that too, but I have a big day ahead of me.”

“Just come back after work. “How is it?”

“I’m sorry, but I already have a master. “He is also the scariest person in the world.”

“Aren’t bugs scary?”

“Of course, I’m scared of bugs too.”

I could sense that there was seriousness mixed in with the play of loyalty.

Seo Dae-ryong winked at me. What are you doing? Please stop me quickly.

Of course I didn’t stop him.

“It’s not bad to try a new life, right?”

“As soon as you open your eyes, they try to cut off your right arm. I can’t cut off that right arm. “When I paid 500,000 nyang, my arm changed to 10,000 years.”

I smiled and said to Chung-ui.

“I’ll contact you when that old iron is rusty and old and falls apart.”

I may not be able to become Seo Dae-ryong, but I thought that if I found another suitable person, I would definitely recommend him as a disciple of loyalty.

“You stay out for a while.”

“yes.”

Loyalty sent Seo Dae-ryong out.

“You can wake up now.”

I got up from the bed. Even though I was unconscious for two days, I felt fine. What truly is the power of this profound medical technique?

“Your body smells good.”

“It will continue to fly for several days.”

“I hope this scent lasts.”

“If I do that, I won’t be able to sneak anywhere for the rest of my life.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to just live a life without going undercover?”

“but. “If I become the Heavenly Demon, I can live that kind of life.”

Chungui brought the alcohol and poured it for him.

“Here, take my drink.”

I drank the refreshing drink she poured for me. She filled my glass without drinking herself. After drinking three glasses in a row, I stopped filling my glasses again. I drank the alcohol, but it was she who revealed her true feelings.

“Actually, I was very tired. I was exhausted both physically and mentally. Maybe helping orphans was like a struggle to protect myself. “It was like a support pole that prevented me from going out of control and preventing me from collapsing from exhaustion.”

I understood that. I too had a similar experience. When I was a ronin, Seojin protected me, and when I was looking for Dafa materials, my desire for revenge played that role.

Words of loyalty continued.

“When I saw you, I felt a sense of destiny. It was a feeling I had never felt in my life. Oh, to be honest, it was when I found out that you had mastered the art of strengthening the heavenly veins. It’s finally time. “The indifferent sky is finally giving me a chance.”

He turned his head out the window and looked up at the sky. My eyes naturally followed her outward.

“That damn sky was a damned sky, at least as far as my research was concerned.”

Her eyes turned to me again.

“Do you know what was in the drink you just drank?”

“I didn’t feel anything.”

“It contained an intangible poison.”

I was surprised.

The intangible poison is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison, and its power is so strong that it is called the king of poisons. In a poisonous world, I am the world’s greatest man, and in a poisonous world, I am the best person in the world. Of course, it is a poison that is difficult to manufacture and even more difficult to detoxify.

“I’m fine.”

“Congratulations. “No poison in the world can kill you now.”

What she said meant that the test was successful and that I had become a master of all things.

“What do you mean intangible? “Aren’t you making the confirmation too strong?”

“This way, you don’t have to check twice.”

After creating the Mando Immortal Body with her own hands, taking the final test with the Intangible Demon was the culmination of the life she had dreamed of.

I am now sharing the moment when a craftsman achieves his lifelong dream. The joy, relief, relief, and regret she feels. I felt all these emotions. Maybe that’s what I’ll feel someday the moment I kill Hwamugi.

I bowed deeply to her.

“thank you.”

“Thank you too. This has been my lifelong dream. “Now you no longer have to wander the world looking for poisonous insects.”

The reason her body was so sore was due to an illness she acquired while rescuing poisonous insects.

I went over to her and massaged her shoulders.

“Wow, it’s cool.”

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t even massaged my father’s shoulders yet.”

“You are an unfilial child.”

“You may not know this, but I have to risk my life just to rub his shoulder.”

Chung-ui laughed as if it was fun.

As I was massaging her shoulders from behind, I felt less energetic than when I first met her. It felt like I had just had my last climax and was now starting to go down.

“What are your goals from now on?”

“What is the goal? “I just have to take it easy.”

“It’s not possible.”

“no?”

The moment a person who is so passionate about something stops working, he or she will start to age horribly. Because it will start to hurt more.

“We need to research and develop new things for Moorim. So please give me that again.”

“The real greedy person was here.”

I, who was massaging his shoulders, went forward and grabbed Chung-ui’s wrist. As I grabbed her wrist as if in a hurry, she looked at me intently.

I pretended to calm down and told her.

“I will live comfortably for the next 50 years. Work!”

She also looked like she understood and knew why I was saying this.

“Ekki, this guy. I’m sick, I’m sick, but I’m telling you to live another 50 years? “Don’t speak evil.”

“I will come see you again and make sure you get better.”

“Thank you, even if it’s just empty words.”

“Thank you is something I will have to say for the rest of my life. “Thanks to the elders, I can live my whole life without worrying about addiction.”

“It was something that could either succeed or fail. But you risked your life bravely. “Think of it as a reward for your courage.”

“I will repay this favor over time. If you need my help, please send a message to Seoho Gaekjan in Jungwon and I will definitely come to you.”

“Sure.”

I went outside with her.

Seo Dae-ryong greeted us with a happy face.

“I’m giving you both a cut.”

As we said our goodbyes and were about to leave, Chung-ui held out a poisonous insect.

“Eat one of these and go! delicious.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t like bugs either.”

I ran first, and Seo Dae-ryong ran behind me.

Chung-ui, who was watching the two people walking away, looked up at the sky.

“I have fulfilled my duty as a member of the National Assembly.”

After looking up at the sky for a moment, she habitually massaged her shoulders and went inside.

“Oh my arm.”

* * *

I ran at a fast pace carrying Seo Dae-ryong on my back.

Seo Dae-ryong had less trouble than when he came. I had already experienced it once and it was also because my skills had increased.

He was piggybacked and had all kinds of worries.

“Can I win? Who would the opponent be? I arrived late, so maybe I’ll be eliminated? Or, won’t I end up dying in the Four Rivers Battlefield like in my dream?”

“Stop worrying about unnecessary things!”

“This is my own trick. “You keep reminding yourself of even the worst-case scenario, letting yourself lose steam, and then preventing it from happening in reality.”

“Was it effective?”

“I don’t know. “The worst hasn’t happened yet.”

“That’s why it’s useless to worry!”

When we barely made it back in time, a completely unexpected situation was waiting for us.

“uh?”

Seo Dae-ryong looked at the Murim Alliance poster with a surprised face. It was a poster conveying news related to this Soryong exhibition.

“I made it to the finals?”

An accident occurred on the Palgang Bimu next to Seo Dae-ryong.

During the dance, an accident occurred in which one party was fatally injured, and the intention of the other party was revealed. So Seo Dae-ryong and his opponent from the fourth round were eliminated and automatically advanced to the finals.

“Didn’t I tell you that dreams are the opposite? “I told you that all your worries are useless, right?”

At my words, Seo Dae-ryong still couldn’t take his eyes off the official letter on the wall.

“Is it okay to go to the finals like this?”

“I didn’t use a trick or a foul. What’s there that you can’t go to? “It’s been said since ancient times that even talented or hard-working people can’t beat a lucky guy.”

“I’ve never been this lucky.”

“As you live, your luck changes.”

Seo Dae-ryong looked back at me. His emotions were reflected in his eyes. All that luck is thanks to you.

“When I decided to participate in the Soryong Tournament, I really wanted to win and be of help to the Lord. “There is only one step left.”

“That last one is the problem.”

The opponent who was not lucky advanced to the finals. Without allowing any surprises, Jin Ha-ryeong, the granddaughter of the Murim Lord, advanced to the finals.

In this way, this final became a match between Seo Dae-ryong, the embodiment of surprise, and Jin Ha-ryeong, the unchanging winner.

“What should I do? “I’m so nervous I don’t think I can even draw the sword.”

“Even if you can’t draw the Tao, you can still read, right?”

“yes? “What do you mean?”

I took out the lucky bag from my pocket. It was the bag of tricks that Hyeolcheondoma had given to Seo Dae-ryong.

“It means it’s finally time to use this.”
