I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 431. what? Sadang? (2)

“I’ve never made a mistake with acupuncture so far, so don’t worry about that.”

“Well, it’s a very secluded mountain valley, so I can’t help it even if my needle shakes, but… anyway, please follow me.”

As the middle-aged man took the lead, he saw a shrine located at the highest point in the village before passing half an angle.

Although it is small and shabby, the area around the shrine was so clean that not a single weed was visible, and there were traces of sweeping.

When I opened the door of the shrine, I saw a portrait of an old man with a fresh wind along with traces of incense.

‘uh! That’s right!’

As soon as the painter saw the portrait, he realized who had treated the middle-aged man’s father.

Lee Dang-ji was so skilled that even his brother-in-law could not recognize him when he was disguised, so he always wore a hood and tied three knots so that even close acquaintances could tell him apart.

Hwa-ta in the portrait was also wearing a hood with three knots.

“It’s here… Suck!”

Pyeon-seon also mentioned Lee Dang-ji at once, as if he had seen the knot in the portrait, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

“huh? What are you talking about?”

After hearing Pyeonseon’s words, the middle-aged man tilted his head and looked at him, and Pyeonseon hurriedly waved his hand.

“Oh, nothing.”

“Looking at Hwa-ta’s portrait, he seems to have thought of his disciple, Rep. Lee Dang-ji, but there are rumors that Rep. Lee Dang-ji is quite ugly. Therefore, please do not compare yourself with Congressman Lee Dang-ji so that Hwa-ta, who is a righteous man, will not be offended.”

foot.

At the moment, not only the side line, but also the fireman burst into laughter avoiding the eyes of the middle-aged man.

As the middle-aged man said, Lee Dang-ji was a man with a poor appearance who met Yeoryeong-gi at an age when others would have their children’s wedding ceremonies.

Where are you and what are you doing now? I missed him and missed him, not knowing if he was still alive or dead.

“sorry. It reminded me of the old memory…”

“I don’t know what kind of memory it is, but this is the shrine of Hwa-ta. Please provide an example. What’s more, the people called the lawmakers…”

When the middle-aged man made a displeased expression, the fireman and Pyeonseon shyly apologized.

After a while, as the middle-aged man finished burning incense and preparing the jetbab, he looked at the fireman and Pyeonseon.

“Now, the two of you should also pay your respects to Hwa-Hwa.”

“yes? Ah yes.”

Hwabu and Pyeonseon were very embarrassed and embarrassed, but according to the middle-aged man’s will, they burned incense and held a ceremony.

‘It’s my shrine, so I hung up a portrait of a local guy! I’m paying tribute to myself! After living in the world for a long time, you go through all sorts of things!’

The painter was very curious about what Pyeonseon was thinking.

Of course, I couldn’t ask right now, so I thought I’d ask after the middle-aged man’s treatment and when I cross the mountain again tomorrow.

* * *

Crunchy…..

“Keuuk! Oh my gosh I’m dying! Live and live! If you do this, your back will break even more!”

Holding his fingers between 3rd and 4th lumbar vertebrae and pushing his shoulders, he mercilessly twisted his pelvis.

“Tsk, why is the young man so rude? If someone you don’t know hears from outside, they’ll think I’m catching you!”

When the painter let go of the lumbar spine and pelvis that had been twisted, the middle-aged man grabbed his waist and even trembled.

“What kind of old man is this strong? I thought I was going to go out of my way!”

“Looking at the condition of the backbone, I need to treat it for a few more days, but I don’t have time for that, so I’ll give it another treatment tomorrow morning and teach you how to exercise.”

Even though the painter stepped back, the middle-aged man could not stand up and groaned for a long time.

“Did you mend my back? Why do you think it hurts more than before treatment? Are your limbs shaking and you can’t even sit up?”

The middle-aged man did not show courtesy to the fireman, perhaps because he was very angry.

Because the painter had experienced many truths while dealing with numerous patients, he laughed lightly at the reaction of the middle-aged man.

“I straightened my twisted waist, how could there be no shock? You will be able to move once the shock wears off, so wait a moment.”

“Hey!”

After a while, when the pain subsided a little, the middle-aged man got up from his chair and sat with his back against the wall.

“How are you?”

“My back still hurts… but the tingling sensation in my little toe is definitely gone. I thought he was a quack because he only used one needle and twisted his body right away, but he seems to be a lawmaker who was earning his living.”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the fireman was a little dumbfounded, but he soon burst into laughter.

“It wasn’t just about earning a living, but when I was doing well, I was even offered a position on the Imperial Palace’s city council.”

“Haha, did someone like that try to cross a mountain like this without taking a servant?”

“It’s comfortable to have a servant with you, but isn’t it fun to travel with your wife just the two of you?”

“Are you okay?”

The middle-aged man dismissed the fireman’s words as an old man’s bluff.

After a while, when his wife brought in a dinner of mixed grains and vegetables, the housekeeper and his wife were able to eat and sleep in a small room given to them by a middle-aged couple.

The small room seemed to have been used as a warehouse, and there were dried herbs, various medicinal materials, and collected honey on one side, as if it had been cleaned in a hurry.

As I covered myself with the blanket and lay down, I heard my wife’s laughter.

“What are you thinking that makes you laugh so much?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“Nothing! Are you thinking of my shrine that you saw earlier?”

“Did you notice?”

“I can’t guess.”

“I keep thinking about it and I can’t stop laughing. Besides, a portrait of a local priest, not my prince!”

“It’s a disguised appearance, so strictly speaking, it’s not his appearance, nor is it my appearance.”

“Maybe the local priest thought of Nanggunim like a hermit, so he almost looked like a immortal. If I hadn’t seen the three knots, I would have missed it.”

“Dangji has been disguised like that a lot since before.”

“What is the local priest doing now?”

“If you’re alive and not dead, wouldn’t you be serving as a councilor somewhere?”

“I guess so. I miss not only the local priests, but also the brother brothers Ohbo and Buna.”

“Those guys dressed up as me and went around treating patients, so there were a lot of strange rumors… but I miss them too.”

The painter held his wife’s hand and talked about his disciples for a long time. When he was tired, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Fluffy.

how long did you sleep

My body seemed to be lying on the clouds with an incomprehensible feeling of floating, so it was probably halfway between a dream and reality.

A little longer in this state, you will be able to sleep deeply.

‘what? Why can’t I sleep?’

However, no matter how long I waited, I only tossed and turned, but my mind became clearer.

‘They say that the older you get, the less sleep you get…

I didn’t feel particularly urged, but I didn’t want to wake my wife, so I carefully opened my eyes and went outside.

When I came out, the night sky was so beautiful.

I’ve been looking at the sky like this every time, but I thought it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a beautiful night sky like today. So, the painter looked at the night sky for a long time and went back into the room.

“omg!”

The fireman who entered the room inhaled a breath of wind.

An extramarital man was lying next to his wife.

The situation is a situation, and the environment here is also an environment, so it was difficult for the fireman to understand what this situation was like.

Although he himself has been looking at the night sky outside for a long time, it is only one-of-a-kind. Most of all, since I was looking at the sky from the yard, there was no way I wouldn’t notice if someone entered the room.

The first thing I did was lower my head and look at the man outside.

jump!

This time I was so surprised that even the wind was not swallowed up.

The moment I checked who the stranger was, my mouth opened and I couldn’t close it.

‘It’s me!’

He was obviously looking down at the man lying next to his wife with his head down, but to his disbelief, the one lying down was himself.

The astonishment and hesitation were brief.

It was something I thought would never happen, but something that was bound to happen someday happened.

I reached out and touched my face, and it went through my face.

The hand that came in after holding the doorknob and opening the door a little while ago, how come it now passes through the face without any resistance?

‘Ha ha… am I dead?’

The unbelievable reality was accepted so easily for some reason.

When I touched her face, I felt no resistance again.

It was recognized that he was definitely dead.

He stared blankly at his sleeping wife and himself for a moment, then turned his head to see if the grim reaper had come to pick him up.

He couldn’t see the figure of the grim reaper, but he began to feel that something was pulling him.

‘If I follow the attraction, will the underworld appear?’

The painter did not follow the lead and looked at the wife’s face for a long time.

“I love you, ma’am. Thank you so much for living with me. I’m leaving without leaving you with a single word like this. …. I’m sorry.”

As time passed, the attraction grew stronger.

It was as if something invisible had grabbed and pulled the whole body.

‘I guess I can reject this just because I refuse!’

It seemed that if I continued like this, I would end up being dragged away unsightly.

The fireman got up from his seat and tried to reach for the doorknob, but hesitated.

It was the doorknob I had grabbed and opened earlier, but somehow it didn’t seem necessary.

When I reached out my hand, it went through the door.

As soon as I passed through the door with my hands and feet, I walked out as if walking on flat ground.

‘Aren’t your feet passing through the floor?’

If it was the same principle as passing through a doorknob, my foot would have to go through the floor, but for some reason it didn’t.

After leaving the house and following the lead, he saw his own shrine where he burned incense with the middle-aged man earlier.

For some reason, the source of attraction was the shrine.

‘what? Is the shrine a door to the underworld?’

Upon entering through the door of the shrine, the portrait of Lee Dang-ji and the incense burner that we saw earlier were not visible, only darkness was visible, and I could hear the voice I had heard before being resurrected in the body of the fireman in this world.

belt ring.

[Han Jin-soo, did you live a happy life after being resurrected as a fireman?]

Maybe because I’ve been through the same thing once, I wasn’t surprised or embarrassed this time.

In fact, I had thought many times that if I died, I could go through something like this again, so I was rather excited.

“It was quite intense, but overall it was a pretty enjoyable life.”

[I’m glad you’re satisfied. Han Jin-soo, a painter, has accumulated 305498 and 1078 points of good deeds and bad deeds in this life, respectively. Also, unusually, 509777 Divine Index points are accumulated, so in case of resurrection, you can use the Miracle Hand, and because of the overwhelming leading index, you can get a ticket to heaven and…] The explanation of the voice is similar to the previous one except for the addition of the

Divine Index. .

The painter tilted his head after hearing the explanation of the voice.

“What is the Divinity Index? What did I do to increase the Divinity Index?”

[This is an unanswerable question.]

“I wonder if people built a shrine to honor me, and that’s why the Sacred Index was accumulated?”

[This is an unanswerable question.]

“Then what? What about the miracle hand? What is it? Is that an unanswerable question?”

[The Miracle Hand refers to causing a miracle with the hand by consuming the Divine Index. For example, if you touch a stone and eagerly want to become rice cake, the stone can become rice cake, and you can turn water into wine.]

“Heh heh! Then, if you touch a dead person and earnestly wish for them to come to life, is it possible to save them?”

[Currently, Han Jin-soo’s Divinity Index can save up to two people.]

“Over 500,000 points, but only two?”

[The divinity index that causes miracles is relative. If you want to create many miracles, increase your Divinity Index.]

“How can I increase the Divinity Index?”

[This is an unanswerable question.]

“What? Why are there so many unanswerable questions?”

The fireman asked several more questions about the divine index and miracles afterwards, but all he could hear was that it was an unanswerable question.

In the end, I gave up on knowing about it and chose resurrection instead of a ticket to heaven this time.

And I thought for a while about how much to buy a lucky ticket.

Suddenly, while living as a fireman, I don’t know when or how it was used, but because the lucky ticket was consumed, I thought that I was able to unify the world and live happily with my wife until the end and die.

So, I bought a lucky ticket with almost all leading indexes and chose gold instead of cash with the remaining balance.

And when asked about the number of patients in the place to be resurrected, they chose a place with 10 or fewer patients.

‘If there are too many patients, you will be hit by the patients and you will not be able to go to the side properly, so let’s go to the minimum. With 10 people, we can concentrate on treatment and have a cup of tea in the remaining time.’

After the painter had made all his choices, he heard a voice.

[Resurrection begins with the dead body of Han Jin-soo.]

“Huh? Resurrection in my dead body?”

There was no answer to the fireman’s question.

Instead, an indescribable, powerful suction power rose right in front of her nose, sucking in her entire body and even her soul in an instant, starting with her face.

The End
