I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 17
Episode 17. Naegigong is real

percussion.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wooden swords clashing, and the dreadful momentum that made the hair on the back of the neck stand up disappeared.
‘I blocked it.’
The painter, surprised by the heavy feeling in his hand, took a step back and took a stance.
The flowerpot no longer attacked the fireman and was making an expression of disbelief.
“Stop this! I can’t believe it. How can we stop this?”
In fact, the last stab of the flowerpot was an attack that I would never have done if I hadn’t been surprised by my younger brother’s rapid growth.
Of course, I thought it would be unstoppable, so I decided to stop in front of the boat.
but got stuck
“Tongue brother. The last stab was so fast I couldn’t even see it. You didn’t mean to kill me, did you?”
In a different sense from the surprised older brother, the painter was surprised and nervous.
The eerie feeling I felt in that moment still lingered and made my body tingle.
“Hey, if I don’t go crazy, will I be able to use a trick on you? I just used a little bet to raise awareness, but I didn’t know you would stop that.”
The flower pot hid its surprise and trembled.
“A bet?”
The painter made a puzzled expression when he heard the word bet while listening to his older brother.
Are there any skills commonly used in martial arts in this era?
Even in modern times, there is a lot of talk about Qigong and Danhak, and there are academies and training centers.
But I’ve never seen or heard of shooting a firearm, cutting down a tree the size of a waist, or jumping a two-story building.
“Yeah bet. Haven’t you heard that masters say that I use qigong?”
“I heard. But I didn’t know if my brother could bet.”
The painter replied that he had never heard of it, but had heard of it.
‘There really is such a thing as inner strength in this era!’
“Haha, since I can make a bet, I’m assuring you that I will pass the military exam next year.”
“By the way, since when have you been able to make bets?”
“I’ve been learning qigong for about seven years, but recently I’ve come to some realizations and can use explosive power.”
“Explosive power? Does the bet explode?”
“It is easily expressed as an explosion to instantaneously generate power beyond the limit.”
“Ah, that’s why you moved so fast I couldn’t see you.”
“huh. Actually, I didn’t intend to use it until I bet you, but you’re doing so well in just two days. That’s why I made a bet not to be conceited. Of course, even that is blocked, so I am more surprised.”
“But what if you stabbed him so badly that I couldn’t stop him?”
“If you can’t stop it, of course I was thinking of stopping. Could it be that I will use power beyond my control?”
“Can you stab me so terribly and then stop?”
“of course. I could put an apple on top of your head and make exactly two apples and leave no hair damaged.”
“Controlling Eijin’s sword to that extent… is only possible for a great master.”
The painter once saw on TV masters splitting an apple on a person’s bare skin when demonstrating a swordsmanship similar to chalyeok.
Of course, the flesh was fine.
However, the person who showed the demonstration at that time was a master among masters with a 6th dan in kendo.
I didn’t think that my older brother, who was only 18 years old, was such a master.
“I’m a master.”
“My older brother is a master, but he is not a master who has been training for a very long time.”
“Of course, there are many masters among people older than me, but among my peers around here, there is no master like me.”
“ah! okay. Well… Hyung, by the way, will you teach me that Naga Qigong?”
“I am Qigong! hmm-. I’d love to teach you, but it’s not up to me to do it on my own. You must have permission from Master.”
“Does your brother have a master?”
“It is not natural. Then, would I have become such a skilled person by practicing martial arts by myself?”
“I don’t think I’ve heard that my brother is in military service.”
“Teacher didn’t have a military rank, but he’s a very talented person.”
“Who is your brother’s master?”
“Sorry about that, but I can’t tell you because I didn’t ask permission.”
“Are you a hermit master who wants to hide his identity?”
“What can you do?”
“I’m kind of interested.”
“Even if I become interested, I will not accept you as a disciple. In fact, I also had a very special relationship, so I was able to receive the difficult teaching.”
“What kind of relationship is it?”
“I can’t even say that. Anyway, I will teach you qigong if Master allows it.”
“Why are there so many things I can’t say? I got it anyway.”
“Let’s stop chatting and practice again.”
“yes.”
As the flower pot raised the wooden sword, the painter also raised the wooden sword.
“From now on, I’m going to see your limit, so you’ll have to be very nervous.”
“As much as you like. You can use a bet if need be.”
“Is it okay to use a bet?! Haha, you don’t know how great a bet is, so I’ll make you regret the provocation.”
Dig.

“Boss, two herbalists came to visit.”
‘Keugh!’
The painter was able to get out of bed only after hearing Wang Sam’s voice.
“Ah yes. I’ll be leaving soon, so please wait a moment.”
“yes.”
“Ugh, it looks like you have eggs all over your body.”
The painter put on his clothes and massaged his limbs.
The first time I practiced stabbing, I moved my body like crazy, but the next day I had no muscle pain.
‘Damn it, I should have refused yesterday when my brother asked to know the limit… but I was the only one who got into a mess because I was excited.’
Even though three wooden swords were broken, he could not achieve the result of striking his brother’s body.
Rather, the palm holding the wooden sword was peeled off and bleeding, and the body that allowed his brother to attack was covered in bruises.
Of course, my brother had put so much cum on his hands that it ended in bruises, otherwise he would have broken some bones.
In the end, it was only after I collapsed that I couldn’t get up, and I was able to fall asleep as if I had passed out.
“Sheesh, what kind of talent do I have? Then, who is the fan who beat me until dawn on a day like that?”
The painter recalled the moments when a decisive opportunity came in Dalian between last night and this morning.
His brother’s movement came into his eyes, and his body moved so agilely that he could not believe it.
But each time, his brother’s body got out of danger at a speed that was beyond common sense.
I knew betting was a fraudulent ability, but I didn’t expect it to feel so nasty.
‘A very slight difference. The bet was what made the difference between that haircut.’
The difference in short hair becomes the criterion of life and death in real combat.
‘Whoa-. I also have to meet a master master somewhere and learn what I am qigong. It sucks.’
After the painter finished dressing, he washed his face roughly and went to see the herbalists.
The herbalists were carrying poisonous mushrooms and poisonous herbs in nets.
“hello. Mr. Hwa Gongja.”
“Yes, but shouldn’t you have come yesterday?”
“It is not easy to gather herbs these days as the bandits from Maseok Mountain have expanded their territory.”
“is it so. Spread the poisonous weeds first.”
“yes.”
The two herbalists listed the poisonous herbs they had been collecting.
The fireman had knowledge about medicinal herbs in his head, but not about poisonous herbs, so he asked a question.
“What is this?”
“This flower is called helmet flower because it resembles the shape of a soldier’s helmet. Hunters usually put the juice of the root on arrowheads or snare thorns when hunting.”
“It must be a very lethal poison that hunters usually use, right?”
“yes. Even quite a few wild boars will fall down without being able to pass the tip if they are hit by an arrow buried in this.”
“Isn’t it impossible to eat a poisoned wild boar even if you catch it?”
“If you remove the blood and boil or bake it, there is nothing wrong with eating it.”
“Ah, it seems to be poison that is weak against fire.”
“We don’t know that either.”
“Anyway, it’s a deadly poison. Then what is it?”
“Hemlock. It is as poisonous as the root of the helmet flower, and if you eat water parsley, you will immediately get an upset stomach and die if you do not vomit it up quickly.”
“Just because water parsley is in the mountains, you shouldn’t carelessly dig it up and eat it.”
“Yes.”
“It looks like a mushroom. Is it a poisonous mushroom?”
“yes. Eating it will not kill you, but once you eat it, you will have colic for at least three days.”
The painter listened to the herbalists talking about the efficacy of poisonous plants and replayed them several times in his head.
‘I’ll need a lot of mice for clinical trials.’
After a while, the fireman, who had heard all about the poisonous weeds, weighed them.
“It’s twelve pounds.”
“yes.”
“You said you would pay 1 nyang for every two and a half pounds, so I’ll add a little bit and give you 5 nyang.”
“thank you.”
When the fireman handed over the money, the herbalists bowed their heads.
“Thanks for your efforts.”
“yes.”
When the herbalists did not go despite receiving the money, the fireman put on a slightly puzzled expression.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I have to go. But do you not have the poison weed you need anymore?”
“no. I will try this first and ask for more if needed.”
“All right.”
After the herbalists disappeared, the fireman sorted out poisonous herbs, ate lunch, and went to the smithy to receive the surgical knives he had ordered.
Warak.
The face of the fireman who received the knife frowned.
“Isn’t this too blunt, ma’am?”
“What is dull? It’s just sharp.”
“Please stand me up a little longer.”
When the painter held out the knife, the woman frowned for a moment, then took out a whetstone and rubbed the blade a few times.
“Is this enough?”
“no. Please change more.”
“How do I grind anymore?”
The cooker looked down at his annoyance and let out a short sigh as he watched the other guests waiting.
“Ha, that’s all right, just give it to me. I’ll change it myself.”
“yes.”
The fireman who came out with the surgical knives turned around and looked at the blacksmith shop and cursed at it, telling it to perish.
‘Why is the business going so well when you’re so unfriendly?’
I went to a nearby creek, took out a whetstone, sharpened all my knives, and headed for the slums.

“Welcome. Senator Bong.”
Pyochung, the head of the field, greeted Congressman Bong wiping his sweat.
Behind Pyochung, the sound of hammers being hammered by field chiefs was constantly heard.
There was a lot of hammering noise in normal times, but today it was particularly bad.
“You look very busy?”
“These days, bandits have been appearing frequently, so an order came down to strengthen the armament of the soldiers. Make some tea here.”
“yes.”
When Pyochung gave the order, one of the field forges ran to the forge, removed the knife from the red-hot charcoal fire, and set up a teapot instead.
Perhaps because it was the charcoal used to heat the iron, the water quickly boiled and soon steaming tea came out.
Tea was placed only in front of Congressman Bong, and old tea that had been cooled was placed in front of Pyochung.
“Eat.”
“It’s quite a luxury car.”
“The name is Daeyajang, so the wise man brings a lot of good things.”
“If someone hears it, why are you talking so carelessly?”
“When you hear it, it cuts off. What’s wrong?”
“It’s not that you’ll be cut off at the Great Chief’s seat, but your head might be cut off.”
“If my head is cut, his head will be cut too.”
“I don’t know what the hell you believe in and be so confident.”
“You don’t need to know my back. Anyway, why did you come to see me?”
Congressman Bong had heard at first glance that Pyo-chung was the disciple of Sang-hyeon, who was the head of the imperial palace.
Of course, he had connections with the imperial palace, so he thought that the hyeongryeong wouldn’t be able to do anything recklessly.
“Oh, I wanted you to make some stuff.”
After organizing his thoughts, Congressman Bong took out the bamboo stick given to him by the fireman from his bosom.
Cheer La Rock.
“What kind of item do you want me to ask for…?”
Pyochung opened his bamboo sticks and widened his eyes as if in surprise, and was speechless.
Then, as if it were a still image, I began to look at almost one of the many scenes.
