Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 120
Seeing Jeok Wigang’s attire, Insimdo’s parents didn’t know what to do with themselves.
“We’re already sorry for bringing such an esteemed person to this humble place, so how can we greet you while lying down?”
“I’m fine with it. Please stay lying down. That makes me feel more comfortable.”
“Still…”
Insimdo spoke to his hesitant parents.
“This person would like to examine Father and Mother’s physical condition. May I show him for a moment?”
“Huh? Oh my. There’s nothing worth seeing, Great Person.”
Jeok Wigang was already examining the condition of the two elders who were adamantly refusing, saying there was nothing worth seeing.
‘Their lower bodies are paralyzed because they were beaten incorrectly. They were beaten so much that their muscles are severely damaged.’
It was heavenly fortune that they didn’t die.
They were alive because Insimdo had cared for them with utmost devotion.
‘Hmm, the injuries are old, so will healing incantation work? Or should I use restoration incantation?’
Jeok Wigang pondered.
He decided to try healing incantation first.
“May I place my hands on your bodies for a moment?”
“Yes, Great Person.”
“It won’t take long. Please close your eyes.”
“Yes.”
As they closed their eyes, Jeok Wigang placed his hands on the two elders’ abdomens and recited an incantation.
“Heaven Energy Flow, Earth Energy Gathering, Vital Energy Recovery, Wound Elimination, Life Force Completion.”
As he recited the incantation, white light burst from Jeok Wigang’s hands and began to be absorbed into the two elders’ bodies.
At this sight, Insimdo jumped up from his seat in shock, then realized the energy he felt from the light was so warm that it wasn’t dangerous.
So he quietly watched.
Crack- Creak-.
The sound of bones twisting could be heard from the two elders’ legs.
Snap- Crack-.
After that, the sound of muscles twisting could be heard.
The sound was eerie to listen to, so Insimdo watched tensely while repeatedly swallowing dry saliva.
As his parents’ bodies jerked along with the sounds, he even showed signs of restless anxiety, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, Jeok Wigang was feeling that healing incantation alone was insufficient.
‘No good. I need to appropriately mix in restoration incantation.’
While casting the incantation, Jeok Wigang began rapidly calculating new inscriptions.
To combine two incantations into one required calculating an enormous amount of inscriptions, which he was doing while casting the healing incantation.
‘Got it! I’ve completed the revival incantation.’
In a short time, Jeok Wigang had combined the two incantations into one.
As soon as he completed it, he immediately recited it.
“Heaven and Earth Recovery, Soul and Flesh Restoration, Energy Meridian Correction, All Wounds Recovery.”
The white light changed to silver and spread over the two elders’ bodies.
Crack- Creak-.
Louder than before, the sound of bones twisting could be heard from their entire bodies.
At the same time, their muscles also twisted, and soon black liquid began flowing down like sweat from all the pores of the two elders’ bodies.
Insimdo was horrified by the bizarre scene.
But he didn’t make a sound.
He was worried that if he made any noise, he might interfere with Jeok Wigang.
What if his interference caused something to go wrong with his parents?
He didn’t even want to think about it.
“Ugh!”
A terrible stench emanated from the black liquid that came out of his parents’ bodies.
“Prepare warm water and cloth to wipe with.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Insimdo hurriedly went outside and lit a fire.
Then he soon came back inside with warm water and cloth, only to see an amazing sight.
His parents, who had been weak and barely moving with wrinkled skin, had transformed to look at least twenty years younger.
“Wh-what is this?”
At first, he thought different people were lying there.
“What are you doing? I’ll go outside, so wipe down your parents.”
As Jeok Wigang got up from his seat, Insimdo asked in a trembling voice.
“My, my parents… what has happened to them?”
To this, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“Can’t you tell by looking? You seem to already know.”
“Are you really completely healed?”
“Yes. So clean them well and change them into new clothes.”
As Jeok Wigang was about to leave after saying those words, Insimdo prostrated himself.
“My Lord! I will repay this grace by serving you like a loyal dog and horse for the rest of my life!”
“That’s enough. You don’t need to go that far. Just do your work well and continue caring for your parents as you have been.”
“My Lord.”
“Are you acknowledging me now?”
“How could I dare to acknowledge or not acknowledge my Lord? If I have offended you, please punish me.”
“That’s enough. It’s fine that you acknowledge me. Your parents underwent Bone Transformation and Body Renewal, so their bodies are being reconstructed. They won’t wake up all day today. So change their clothes and go select the talented people you need.”
“What? B-Bone Transformation and Body Renewal? But… is that possible when they haven’t even learned martial arts?”
“Yes. Not perfectly, but their bodies have been reconstructed to some extent.”
“What?”
He was talking about Bone Transformation and Body Renewal as casually as a neighborhood physician giving acupuncture.
Bone Transformation and Body Renewal was the dream of every martial artist.
“So mixing two incantations produces this kind of result.”
“What?”
Seeing him staring blankly, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“Never mind. Don’t worry about it. There’s such a thing. Anyway, they’re completely healed and have become twenty years younger, so do everything for them that you couldn’t do before.”
“Ah, I understand.”
“Then I’ll come again tomorrow.”
“Thank you, my Lord!”
“Just do your job properly.”
“But what exactly should I be doing?”
“It’s nothing special. Just go into the palace and do the work that the government officials were doing.”
“What?”
“You’ll be given an official position too. You’ll probably be around sixth rank? If you work well, you can rise higher, so work hard.”
“What? I get an official position? And sixth rank at that? But more than that, the work that government officials were doing? Don’t tell me I’ll be handling state affairs?”
“That’s right. You can do it well, can’t you?”
“I’ve… never handled state affairs before.”
“It’s not difficult. Just do it the way you normally would. Well then, I’m leaving.”
“My, my Lord!”
Unable to stop Jeok Wigang who left after saying only what he wanted to say, he sat there in a daze.
“What on earth is this…?”
He felt like he was possessed by a ghost.
Insimdo, Yu Muncheol, looked at his parents who were sleeping peacefully with youthful appearances.
A smile formed on his lips.
What did it matter anyway?
Whatever happened, his lord was his benefactor.
Even if he couldn’t trust others, he could trust his lord.
The way to repay this grace?
Hadn’t his lord already told him before leaving?
“Right. What’s so different about the palace? Places where people live are all the same. Let’s do this!”
He slapped his cheeks a couple of times, then soaked a cloth cover in warm water and began wiping away the foul-smelling liquid coming from his parents’ bodies.
The next day.
Insimdo’s parents opened their eyes.
The two people, feeling energy overflowing throughout their bodies unlike usual, sprang up from their beds.
The two were surprised at how easily their upper bodies were lifted.
“My body is overflowing with strength… H-honey.”
“Y-yes. D-dear… your appearance…”
They looked at each other and began examining themselves with surprised eyes.
“Y-your skin has improved.”
“Yours too.”
“It must be a dream.”
“Can two people have the same dream?”
“I don’t know. They say married couples are one in heart and mind, so maybe we can dream together too.”
“I pinched my arm and it hurt… They say if it hurts when you pinch yourself, it’s not a dream.”
“Then how do you explain this ridiculous situation? Can you explain it?”
“Th-that is…”
When he actually tried to explain it, even he thought it didn’t make sense.
Just then, the door opened and Insimdo Yu Muncheol entered.
“Father! Mother!”
Seeing that the two had awakened, he quickly entered and sat in front of them.
“How are you feeling?”
“Son… can you see our bodies?”
“What? Yes. I can see you very well.”
“I mean, can you see that we’ve become younger?”
“Yes. I can see it very well. My Lord performed Bone Transformation and Body Renewal on Father and Mother before leaving. He said you’ve become twenty years younger.”
“Bone Transformation and Body Renewal? Twenty years younger?”
“Yes.”
“Does this… make sense?”
“I don’t really understand what happened either, but in any case, this is reality.”
“My goodness…”
“Honey. My legs are moving.”
“Huh? M-mine are moving too.”
“Father, Mother. Please try standing up.”
At their son’s words, the two people carefully tried to get up.
“Oh? I-I can stand up.”
“My legs are overflowing with strength.”
“Wife….”
“Honey….”
The two looked at each other, then shed tears of joy as they embraced.
“Sob sob sob!”
The two people holding each other and crying.
Their son quietly watched this scene while wiping away his own tears.
It was when they were greeting such a touching morning.
“Is Yu Muncheol inside?”
At the sound of someone calling, he opened the door and went out, only to see people covered in blood sprawled across the courtyard, writhing.
“It’s a gift.”
“Th-these people are…”
They were people he knew all too well.
The very ones who had done that to his parents.
But their condition was severe.
Ye Yahyeon spoke with an indifferent expression.
“Dae-hyeong told me to tell you. He’s taken care of your revenge. He also said if you think it’s not enough, you can handle the rest yourself. What will you do? If you want to torture them, I can help.”
“What? T-torture?”
“You can do it while pouring out all the resentment and anger you’ve felt. I said I’d help, didn’t I?”
“N-no. J-just seeing their current state is en-enough.”
Ye Yahyeon’s gaze turned to the parents.
“Don’t you two have any thoughts?”
At the question of whether they had thoughts, Yu Muncheol’s parents were startled and shook their heads vigorously.
“N-no! We have no thoughts!”
“R-right. This is enough. Thank you.”
Yu Muncheol’s parents shed tears.
It felt like all the resentment and bitterness they had harbored was melting away like snow.
“Really? I made them exactly the same as what you two went through. They’ll probably have to spend their entire lives bedridden. Ah! Don’t worry about the aftermath. Their families will fall to ruin.”
Yu Muncheol, who had been standing in a daze, soon shed tears.
Just healing his parents was already receiving heavenly grace, but to think he would go this far to take revenge for them.
“Which direction is our Lord in?”
When Ye Yahyeon pointed toward the Royal Palace, Yu Muncheol came down to the courtyard and bowed toward that direction with sincere devotion, shouting.
“I! Yu Muncheol! Will dedicate this life for our Lord!”
“I’ll convey that scene to Dae-hyeong.”
The Imperial Palace was desolate.
It was because most of the government officials from the Hanlin Academy had left.
However, there were still officials who remained, namely the people from the Guyang Family.
They couldn’t easily leave.
If they left, there was no telling what might happen to the Empress.
The Guyang Family people gathered at the Empress’s residence, Gonnyeong Palace.
Each one wore a serious expression.
“Sigh. We never expected His Majesty to come out this strongly.”
“He must have endured a lot. How much did the Hanlin Academy look down on him, thinking he was an Emperor who knew nothing.”
“This is all due to our inadequacy. We should have stepped forward to stop it.”
“What’s the point of saying such things now. We need to discuss what to do going forward.”
