Cheonma-nim gives a massage episode 308

“Everyone, are you okay?!”

Towards the exit of the tunnel with the hole in it.

From there, I could hear urgent voices and the sound of several people running. They were rescue workers who had hurriedly followed Kang Tae-han, carrying only the bare minimum of equipment.

But there was no answer. Kang Tae-han showed no response, and the other survivors were quietly looking down at Choi Sung-hyun lying on the ground. They didn’t check it out, but they all had a gut feeling that he was dead.

“Student… what should I do with this, this… … .”

“Ah, ahh… … .”

Some shed tears, others sank to their seats. Gratitude, regret, and helplessness over not being able to do anything were all written on their faces.

“Everyone! I understand you’re out of your mind, but this place can still be dangerous!”

“Please evacuate immediately following our instructions!”

The silence was broken by the voices of rescue workers.

It was a quiet and heavy atmosphere where it felt like you shouldn’t interfere, but it was their job to protect the safety of the citizens in any situation.

However, the survivors hesitated with hesitant eyes.

I don’t know how he got that strength, but I know that they were all alive thanks to this young man whose name I didn’t even know.

He was literally their savior. They couldn’t just leave him here and go on their own. They just couldn’t move.

“Everyone, let’s go first.”

Looking at them, Kang Tae-han said a word.

“but…….”

“I’m sure this guy wants that too.”

The man who appeared to be the bus driver made a face of shock for a moment, then slowly walked forward. He bowed to Choi Sung-hyun and began walking outside, following the rescue worker’s instructions.

Starting with that, the hesitant castaways began to take steps one by one. And then.

“Are you… an acquaintance of this student?”

“Yes, that’s true.”

An old man stopped and spoke to Kang Tae-han. Perhaps because his voice was serious and earnest, Kang Tae-han answered him even though he was concentrating hard.

“I’m embarrassed to say this, but I don’t even know the name of my benefactor yet… Could you tell me the student’s name?”

The other survivors also stopped walking at the old man’s words and turned their heads in this direction again. They were so out of their minds that they almost left without even knowing his name.

“… This is Choi Sung-hyun.”

“Choi Sunghyun… Yes. Thank you for letting me know. I really appreciate it.”

The old man bowed his head to Kang Tae-han and began walking again, and soon all the survivors left. Kang Tae-han looked at their backs and smiled faintly without realizing it.

“You… you should go out with me too, right?”

The only one left is Kang Tae-han.

The rescue team leader approached him cautiously and asked in a tone that had now become formal.

“I still have work to do here.”

“I don’t know what happened, but I have to think about the people lying there. There are ambulances outside… … .”

The rescue team leader’s words, which were trying to persuade, were momentarily interrupted.

At first glance, he looked fine, covered in sweat and dirt, but his limbs were intact and he wasn’t bleeding… but that person was already dead. I hadn’t seen many human corpses, but I could still sense it.

‘Is that because you can’t accept reality…?’

Then this man’s behavior becomes understandable.

When people are faced with the death of someone precious, they sometimes turn away from reality. Few people can accept the death of a friend or blood relative indifferently.

Sometimes, we are foolish enough to believe that the other person is not dead yet, that we can somehow save them… and we cannot let go of that delusion.

“But still… ugh?!”

For a moment, Kang Tae-han looked at him.

The moment our eyes met, he felt as if his breath had been taken away. His eyes were filled with sadness and strong determination, sending a silent warning that he should not be disturbed, even a murderous one.

Interest… will not leave this place no matter what happens. He intuitively realized that fact.

“… I understand. But, I won’t be leaving here until you move.”

However, we can’t just leave like this. The rescue team leader kept an appropriate distance and sat down.

He was the leader of the rescue team, and his role was to rescue the civilians in this tunnel. Naturally, this unidentified man in front of him was also someone he had to protect.

Somehow, it felt like a waste of time to say that I was protecting this man… but that wasn’t the important issue. He was just doing his duty.

“…okay.”

Kang Tae-han let out a small sigh and thought for a moment. He had intended to threaten her slightly and make her back off, but it seemed that she had a stronger sense of duty than he had thought.

“Then could you please warn us instead so that no one comes in here?”

“Warning… is that what you mean?”

“yes.”

Kagagak!

At that moment, a circle that looked to be about 3 meters across was drawn around Kang Tae-han. Although it was hard to see clearly, it seemed like something like a whitish curtain was surrounding the area.

“I will take action, but I want to avoid anyone getting hurt by approaching unnecessarily.”

“… Oh, I understand.”

I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but… … .

The request itself wasn’t that difficult. He nodded and answered, and Kang Tae-han nodded slightly after hearing the answer.

‘then…….’

Kang Tae-han lightly adjusted his strength, then pulled up the strength of his entire body. A strange distortion began to occur around his body, as if a haze was rising. In that state, he slowly placed his hand on Choi Sung-hyun’s danjeon.

* * *

The first thing to do when treating is to first understand the situation. You have to figure out where the problem is and how serious it is before you can deal with it.

That is why Kang Tae-han first sent his energy through Choi Sung-hyun’s danjeon. From there, Kang Tae-han already had a bitter expression on his face.

There was no response.

The dantian, where all internal energy has been exhausted, is like a vacuum, so to speak. Although it has shrunk, the vessel still remains, but the contents have completely disappeared.

Therefore, if you pour energy into a body that has completely exhausted its energy, it is a normal reaction for it to instantly suck it up. This is the same even if it is the body of someone who has already died.

But if there is no response… it means that either the vessel that holds the internal energy, the danjeon, is broken, or the energy pulse itself is damaged to the point where it cannot function.

In Choi Sung-hyun’s case, it was the latter. The energy of his entire body was so weak that even the slightest shock would cause it to crumble.

… That makes sense, actually.

If you draw on your internal energy beyond your capacity, it will inevitably put a great strain on your body. In particular, the energy vessels through which the contents flow directly will inevitably be affected more.

Kang Taehan had hidden his inner strength, and he had forcibly brought up his innate energy. Furthermore, he had been raising his strength to its limit for quite some time, so there was no way he could be okay.

But even so, Kang Tae-han did not give up.

The energy that had seeped into the dantian soon started from the hwieum point, went up the spine, and swept the Du meridian, then swept the Ren meridian from the Baihui point and returned to the dantian.

The Small Heavenly Circulation (小周天) that circles around once.

The result was as dismal as Kang Tae-han had expected. Only the passage remained, and there was not a single bit of life left. He tried to circle around to Daejucheon just in case, but the result was the same.

‘As of now… there’s no way to do it.’

Kang Tae-han suddenly remembered Director Hwang’s case from last time.

Even at that time, death was practically certain, and although the strong impact had distorted his energy and blood vessels, at least his energy pulse itself was alive and the vital energy of his famous acupoint remained.

It was daunting even then… but now it’s even worse. Back then it was like a jar with a hole in the bottom that would never be filled, but now it feels like looking at shards of a jar.

But, I already knew.

Even though I knew it, I made up my mind.

Even if it is impossible, we must make it possible.

There is no way for Kang Tae-han now.

During Director Hwang’s time, it was truly a miracle.

There is no guarantee that such a miracle will happen this time.

But… even so.

Now is the time to grab onto even the slightest possibility, even a shred of hope. Just as Choi Sung-hyun did his best to complete his mission, he also had to do his best.

“Hoooooo… … .”

A long, drawn-out exhalation.

At the same time, the internal energy that Kang Tae-han had drawn up from his entire body began to embrace Choi Sung-hyun’s body. Soon, his body was completely enveloped in a clot of light.

If the jar is broken and cannot hold water, why not just put the jar in the water? A deep inner power began to seep into Choi Sung-hyun’s entire body.

‘… It’s fortunate that at least the shape remains.’

Kang Tae-han checked Choi Sung-hyun’s physical condition one last time. It was still the worst, but he could say that there was still some room for improvement.

Now it’s up to you.

Right here, over the wall.

Kang Tae-han immediately took a stance and began to sink his consciousness deep inside without hesitation.

* * *

The inner self of a person is like the deep sea.

Every time he went deep into his inner self, Kang Tae-han would feel that way. It was like the deep sea where the light got dimmer and the water pressure got stronger as he went down.

The deeper you go, the more the influence of the mind increases, but the mental power to control it decreases. If you lose control even for a moment, the mind demon will attack you.

Even a small amount of injustice can shake decades of training, and even a moment of confusion can cause the internal energy of the Jiazi period to become tainted with turbid energy. In the worst case, you can become a ruined person due to mental demons.

That’s why… unless there’s a clear reason or purpose, most martial artists set their standards based on their own level and are reluctant to delve deeper than that.

If the situation is urgent, you should rather avoid it. Impatience makes you anxious, and impatience makes you lose control, making you much more vulnerable to psychosis.

And now, Kang Tae-han… Needless to say, he is in an urgent situation. If it were someone else’s business, he would never have recommended it.

However, Kang Tae-han had no other choice.

One clear goal. If it could be achieved, I had to take any risk.

This is a place that can be consumed by the mind at any time… … .

A place where the mind and consciousness expand.

An infinitely expansive realm of mental imagery where you can vividly recall long-forgotten memories and rediscover clues to enlightenment you had missed.

Kang Tae-han has hit a wall and has not yet reached the point of life and death, but… maybe, here, he can find something decisive to overcome that wall.

No, I don’t want to go so far as to reach the point of life and death. If I can find a way to save him, that’s enough for me.

Of course, this may be a very vague thought.

But isn’t there a possibility? With that alone, Kang Tae-han could easily take risks.

In that way, Kang Taehan continued to sink his consciousness deeper. Deeper than when he usually practiced, beyond the limits of the standards he had set for himself, and continued… … .

Then at some point.

“… So we ended up here.”

Kang Tae-han opened his eyes, which had been closed.

The world of imagination.

A world where the unique image that makes up the deepest part of one’s inner self is realized in the form of the five senses when it comes into contact with consciousness.

Of course, this is only an internal story, but the consciousness that reached that place was able to feel its own image vividly and clearly in the form of the five senses.

And what was spread out before him was blood.

Blood. Everything that made up this world was bloody, and at its center flowed a river of blood.

No… this is not a river, it is a road.

The path he has walked in the world of martial arts.

Kang Tae-han immediately realized from the moment he first saw it that it was implemented in the form of a lecture.

The part where the river begins is murky, but still feels like water. It is shallow enough that you can’t even fully dip your feet in it.

But as you go further… the blood becomes thicker, wider and deeper exponentially. Eventually, you won’t be able to tell if it’s a river or a sea.

At first, I had no choice but to kill in order to survive.

After that, I killed for revenge. If it helped, I killed without hesitation, and if it was an efficient choice, I swung my sword without hesitation.

There has never been a justifiable killing. There has always been a reason.

But… that’s all. He committed countless murders for his own purposes. The blood flowing there was his sin, and its depth was the depth of his sin.

“Is this the second time?”

When I first arrived here in the world of martial arts.

Kang Tae-han couldn’t hold out for long and was thrown out of consciousness as if he was being chased. It was the best he could do to avoid being eaten by the demon.

That was understandable.

At that time, I never regretted my revenge. I thought that regretting it would be insulting the soul of my teacher who died unjustly after achieving revenge.

But this is where the imagery that forms the basis of consciousness is realized. And this place itself symbolizes Kang Tae-han’s sins and at the same time, it is a landscape that contains his regrets.

Since I faced that without any preparation, it is natural that I would be overcome by evil spirits.

“That’s funny.”

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard from behind.

Kang Tae-han turned his head. Something was standing there. It had the shape of a person, but only the outline was visible, and it looked hazy, as if it was covered in thick fog.

“Do you think that if you come now and do something that doesn’t match your hypocrisy, you can turn everything back?”

Likewise, the voice was faintly ringing. At first glance, it sounded like he was speaking incoherently, but Kang Taehan knew best what he was saying.

You must not listen to that voice.

This is a world that embodies the image itself, located at the very bottom of one’s inner self.

Even the slightest agony would cause his heart to break, and the moment his feeble mental strength cracked, the devil would rush in and consume everything.

“… There’s no turning back.”

Still, Kang Tae-han insisted on answering that voice.

Last time, I ran away from here. Because I couldn’t answer anything. But… now, it’s okay. For some reason, I feel that way.

“But, that doesn’t mean… we have to stay in the same place even if we’ve found a better way.”

I don’t want to turn away from the past. I don’t want to pretend it never happened. But I don’t want to do good deeds out of a sense of atonement either.

It’s just that this is the right and more desirable way.

That’s why I just kept walking. That was Kang Tae-han’s answer to himself.
