Keesokan harinya.
Di pagi buta, Mujin sudah bangun. Klinik pengobatan muskuloskeletal biasanya menerima pasien mulai dari jam strabismus (09.00–11.00) hingga jam payudara (17.00–19.00). Namun, Mujin yang sudah terbiasa bangun saat fajar di Shaolin, tetap bangun di awal hari (05.00–07.00).
Setelah bangun, Mujin dengan lembut merilekskan tubuhnya dengan teknik peregangan otot, lalu menggunakan beban untuk melatih otot-ototnya hingga terasa panas. Setelah tubuhnya cukup hangat, ia mulai berlatih dengan sungguh-sungguh. Ia membalikkan ban besar atau melakukan latihan tiga arah menggunakan batang baja dan piringan beban yang tergantung di rak.
Menggunakan peralatan yang disediakan oleh Tianyu Upper Realm untuk pelatihan fisik, Mujin melatih tubuhnya setiap pagi. Tubuh manusia pada dasarnya cenderung kembali ke bentuk semula; otot yang dibangun melalui latihan hanya bisa dipertahankan dengan terus berlatih. Untuk menjadi lebih besar, ia harus berlatih lebih intens.
Itulah sebabnya sejak tiba di Deng Feng, Mujin selalu berlatih di waktu fajar. Jika tidak ada agenda khusus, ia akan berlatih bela diri di malam hari.
"Hah..."
Setelah berlatih cukup lama, tubuhnya bermandikan keringat. Mujin membersihkan diri dengan air yang sudah disiapkan, lalu sarapan bersama dua muridnya. Tak lama kemudian, Yan Jiahui dan Liu Xuehua datang ke klinik bersama-sama. Mujin merawat tubuh Yan Jiahui seperti kemarin dan memberikan edukasi kepada Liu Xuehua.
Namun, hari itu belum berakhir.
"Penting untuk mengulang materi agar cepat menguasai teknik pengobatan. Tuan Sulwhath."
Mujin mendesak Liu Xuehua untuk melakukan latihan mandiri di luar sesi perawatan. Tentu saja, tujuannya adalah membantunya menurunkan berat badan dengan cepat. Latihan untuk perawatan Yan Jiahui saja tidak cukup untuk membuat Liu Xuehua langsing.
"Untuk menurunkan berat badan..." Mujin mengatakannya dengan hati-hati agar tidak melukai harga diri Liu Xuehua.
"Aku akan berusaha!"
Anehnya, Liu Xuehua justru lebih termotivasi daripada kemarin. 'Mereka bilang kalau banyak olahraga, berat badan akan turun!'
Sebenarnya, Mujin tidak perlu membujuknya terlalu keras. Saat kembali ke kediaman kemarin malam, Liu Xuehua sempat bertanya pada pengawal samurai dan mendengar bahwa semakin banyak bergerak, semakin banyak berat badan yang turun. Demi motivasinya, Mujin memilihkan kursus latihan yang fokus pada peningkatan kardio dan kekuatan inti.
"Saat naik ke atas kotak, hantamkan lutut kananmu sekuat tenaga seolah sedang menendang orang di depanmu. Saat turun, rentangkan kaki kirimu sejauh mungkin ke belakang. Gerakkan lenganmu dengan kuat! Ya! Kamu sudah melakukannya dua puluh kali, sekarang ganti dengan kaki kiri."
Sebagai contoh, Mujin meletakkan kotak reformer di lantai dan memintanya naik-turun seolah menaiki tangga. "Lenganmu hanya menahan beban! Rentangkan kakimu sambil menahan dengan kekuatan punggung dan perut."
Mujin memintanya memegang foot bar pada reformer, menaruh satu kaki di papan kayu, dan kaki lainnya di atas carriage untuk mendorong pegas. Setelah berbagai gerakan dilakukan,
"Aku akan istirahat sebentar lalu mulai lagi. Tuan Sulwhath."
"Aku masih bisa!"
Dia tetap mencoba berlatih meski anggota tubuhnya gemetar karena kelelahan. 'Setelah berat badanku turun, dia tidak akan melirik wanita lain lagi, kan?'
Itu adalah motivasi paling mendasar bagi banyak orang yang bertekad menurunkan berat badan. Namun, seperti kebanyakan pemula, staminanya sudah mencapai batas.
"Jika terlalu memaksakan diri, kamu akan jatuh sakit dan malah harus istirahat berhari-hari. Penting untuk berlatih secara moderat dan konsisten. Tuan Sulwhath."
Mujin, sebagai pelatih yang terampil, mulai menenangkan Liu Xuehua. Saat Mujin memintanya berhenti dan Liu Xuehua mencoba bangkit, kakinya lemas karena kelelahan. Mujin yang menunggu di dekatnya segera bergerak cepat dan menopangnya agar tidak jatuh.
Saat tangan Mujin menyentuh lengannya, wajah Liu Xuehua memerah padam.
'Apakah tekanan darahnya tinggi?'
Melihat wajahnya yang terus memerah, sepertinya kondisinya sudah di level berbahaya. Mujin merasa harus membantunya menurunkan berat badan demi kesehatannya.
***
Sepuluh hari telah berlalu sejak penangkapan Hong So-hee. Mujin, yang merasa situasi di Tianyu Upper Realm sudah stabil, segera menuju ke sana setelah menyelesaikan pekerjaannya.
Penjaga gerbang yang mengenali Mujin segera memberi jalan, dan ia pun dipandu oleh Gubernur Yang langsung menuju Danju Hall. Liu Zhiguang, sang penguasa, menyambut Mujin dengan hangat.
"Aku sudah mendengar ceritanya... Mujin. Belakangan ini, dia menjadi sangat aktif. Hahaha."
Liu Zhiguang tertawa puas melihat perubahan putrinya yang dulu selalu murung. "Sepertinya aku selalu mendapat bantuan dari Mujin..."
"Itu semua berkat usaha Tuan sendiri, apa yang bisa saya lakukan? Amitabha Buddha."
Itu adalah kerendahan hati sekaligus kejujuran. Liu Xuehua memang sangat bersemangat hingga Mujin harus menahannya demi kesehatan. Setelah berbincang sejenak, Liu Zhiguang bertanya tentang tujuan kedatangannya.
"Ngomong-ngomong, apakah kau datang hari ini untuk urusan bisnis?"
"Sebenarnya, saya datang untuk melihat apakah sudah waktunya membuka cabang lokal. Tuan."
"Maksudmu divisi lemak?"
"Ya. Bukankah bisnis ini dimulai untuk membuka klinik di Kabupaten Dengfeng?"
Liu Zhiguang tertawa kecil. Bagaimanapun, ia tidak bisa terus-menerus mengundang para pejabat dan orang kaya ke Deng Feng. Demi keuntungan, membuka cabang di setiap prefektur sangat diperlukan. Namun, alasan Mujin bukan sekadar mencari untung. Ia ingat percakapan terakhir mereka tentang pergerakan divisi lemak yang mencurigakan.
Bagi Mujin, itu terdengar seperti ada kekuatan gelap yang mendekati cabang-cabang lokal. Oleh karena itu, Mujin berniat menyusup ke sana dengan kedok pembukaan cabang. Mujin sudah punya lokasi yang direncanakan, dan untungnya Liu Zhiguang bertanya lebih dulu.
"Di mana kau akan membuka cabang lokal?"
Mujin tersenyum tipis. "Nanchang, Provinsi Jiangxi adalah yang terbaik."
Nanchang, Provinsi Jiangxi. Tidak seperti cabang lainnya, ini adalah tempat yang berkaitan erat dengan kekuatan gelap. Itu adalah lokasi yang Mujin ketahui dari novel. Namun, Liu Zhiguang masih bingung.
"Mengapa memilih Nanchang di Jiangxi, bukan Luoyang atau Zhengzhou?"
Alasannya sederhana. Ekor Hong So-hee sudah terputus, dan kali ini ia ingin mengincar pusat kekuatan yang kemungkinan besar menjadi sarang musuh. Namun, ia tidak mungkin berkata, 'Putramu akan menjadi orang jahat di masa depan.'
Maka, Mujin memberikan alasan lain.
"Lingkungan ini adalah rumah utama Tianliu dan halaman depan Shaolin kita, jadi kita bisa masuk kapan saja. Tapi jika kita meninggalkan Provinsi Henan... bahkan jika pergi ke pinggiran Henan, sekte dan keluarga besar lainnya akan bereaksi."
"Luoyang dan Zhengzhou bisa dimasuki kapan saja, tapi jika terlalu jauh, kita akan diawasi. Mengapa tidak mencoba Provinsi Jiangxi kali ini?"
"Ya, Tuan."
Penjelasan Mujin membuat Liu Zhiguang mengangguk setuju. Di utara Danau Dongting, faksi-faksi besar seperti Gu Pilbang dan Lima Sekte Besar saling mengawasi, membuat ekspansi wilayah menjadi sulit. Sementara itu, Shaolin yang selama ini terkurung di gunung tiba-tiba menjangkau wilayah lain? Mereka tidak akan tinggal diam.
Di sisi lain, Provinsi Jiangxi adalah wilayah netral atau zona konflik di mana tidak ada faksi politik besar yang dominan.
"Hmmm... memang bisa menghindari pengawasan sekte besar, tapi itu bukan tempat yang mudah untuk dikelola..."
"Setidaknya lebih mudah daripada membuka cabang di tempat yang sudah dikuasai satu faksi. Ini juga yang paling dekat dengan zona netral."
Alasan lain Mujin adalah karena wilayah itu masih menjadi zona konflik. Di masa depan, wilayah itu akan dikuasai oleh faksi dari Kepulauan Hitam bernama Padobang, yang menjadi kaki tangan organisasi korup Heavenly Stream untuk perdagangan manusia dan narkoba. Mujin berniat membereskan Padobang sebelum mereka tumbuh besar.
***
Beberapa hari kemudian, Mujin dan Liu Zhiguang mendaki Songshan. Liu Zhiguang menyetujui pembukaan cabang, namun Mujin masih terikat di Shaolin. Karena Liu Zhiguang telah mengirim inspektur, mereka bisa langsung menuju ruangan tempat Hyuncheon dan Chu Bo Dangju menunggu.
"Sudah lama tidak bertemu."
"Sudah lama, Kepala Biksu."
Setelah salam singkat, Hyuncheon langsung ke inti pembicaraan. "Jadi, di tengah kesibukan kalian, ada urusan apa sampai datang kemari?"
Liu Zhiguang menjelaskan niatnya membuka klinik di Nanchang. Reaksi Hyuncheon dan Wise Wisdom tidak terlalu positif.
"Maaf, tapi murid Shaolin kita tidak banyak. Jika kita terus menambah jumlah pengurus cabang, nantinya akan lebih banyak murid yang tersebar di provinsi daripada yang tinggal di Shaolin."
"Masalah lainnya, jika Mujin pergi ke Jiangxi, siapa yang akan mengurus fasilitas klinik di Deng Feng?"
Mujin kemudian memberikan solusinya. "Jika waktu berlalu, murid Shaolin tidak perlu lagi mengelola cabang lokal. Kita hanya perlu membiarkan Vulgar Sect yang mengelolanya."
"Membiarkan Vulgar Sect mengelolanya?"
"Ya. Apa salahnya mengajari mereka teknik pengobatan?"
Hyuncheon dan Wise Wisdom terdiam. Mujin menambahkan, "Ada dua keuntungan. Pertama, kita bisa membantu mereka, terutama mereka yang tetap setia pada Shaolin hingga akhir. Bukankah mereka layak mendapat imbalan?"
Xuanchen dan Wise Man terbatuk pelan. Itu adalah sindiran bagi mereka yang memutuskan hubungan dengan Shaolin dua tahun lalu.
"Keuntungan kedua, kita bisa mengontrol penyimpangan mereka. Pengelolaan dasar dilakukan oleh sekte sekuler, sementara Shaolin secara berkala mengirim murid untuk memastikan pengobatan dilakukan dengan benar dan memberikan bimbingan."
"Hmmm... dengan begitu, kita juga bisa memastikan mereka tidak melecehkan orang sekitar atau memeras uang?"
"Tepat sekali."
Kata-kata Mujin membuat mereka merasa malu. Itu adalah solusi terbaik, namun masalah praktis tetap ada. "Tapi ini terlalu dini. Jika kau pergi ke Jiangxi, siapa yang akan bertanggung jawab di Deng Feng?"
Mujin tersenyum. "Butuh waktu sebulan untuk membuka klinik baru. Selama waktu itu, ada orang yang bisa meningkatkan kemampuannya untuk mengambil alih fasilitas ini."
Mereka semua tertegun. Siapa tabib yang bisa menggantikan Mujin hanya dalam sebulan? Tak lama kemudian, mereka semua mendapatkan jawabannya.
Diplining (1)
The next day·
In the early hours of the morning, Mujin woke up.
The time of day when the musculoskeletal treatment clinic receives patients is from strabismus (9~11 o'clock) to breast time (17~19 o'clock).
However, Mujin, who had already become accustomed to waking up at dawn before the sun rose in Shaolin, used to wake up from the beginning of every day (5~7 o'clock).
When Mujin woke up, he gently relaxed his body with muscle lengthening surgery, and then used his sacs to lift light weights and slowly increase the heat of his muscles.
After my body became moderately hot, I began to practice in earnest.
Flipping the upper bridge wheel (tire) or doing a three-way exercise using a steel bar and a weight disc hanging from a steel shelf.
Using the tools provided by the Tianyu Upper Realm for external cultivation training, Mujin trained his body early in the morning every day.
The human body basically has a tendency to return to its original form. The body that you build through exercise can only be maintained by exercising. In order to get bigger, you need to train more intensely.
That's why, ever since Mu Jin came to Deng Feng, he would always train his body like this at dawn every day.
And on days when there was nothing special to do, I practiced martial arts in the evening.
"Phew..."
After rolling over for a while, his body was completely sweaty.
Mu Jin washed himself with the water he had received in advance, and finished his breakfast with the two disciples.
Around that time, Yan Jiahui and Liu Xuehua came to the clinic together.
Mu Jin treated Yan Jiahui's body as he did yesterday and educated her about Liu Xuehua.
But that wasn't the end of the day.
"It's important to review in order to learn the treatment quickly. Lord Sulwhath·"
Mu Jin said so, and urged Liu Xuehua to do his own workouts apart from treatment.
Of course, the purpose was to help her lose weight quickly. The exercises he was doing for Yan Jiahui's treatment were not enough to make Liu Xuehua lose weight properly.
"To lose weight..." I was afraid that Liu Xuehua's self-esteem would be shattered, so I expressed it in a hurry.
"I'll try!"
Strangely, Liu Xuehua was even more motivated than yesterday.
'They said that if you exercise a lot, you will lose weight!'
In fact, there was no need for Mujin to soothe her.
On the way back to the top last night·
After asking the escort samurai, he had heard that the more Liu Xuehua moved, the more weight he lost.
For her motivation, Mujin has selected an exercise course that focuses on increasing cardio and core strength, which is suitable for the purpose of weight loss.
"When you climb on top of the box, you should hit your right knee as hard as you would with the person in front of you, as if you were hitting the person in front of you. And when you go down, it's a good idea to stretch your left leg as far back as possible. It's good if you move your arms violently! Yes! You've done it twenty times, so this time I'm going to do it with my left leg."
For example, put the musculoskeletal improver box (reformer box) on the floor and go up and down the box as if you were going up and down a flight of stairs.
"Your arms are just holding up! You can stretch your legs while holding on with the strength of your back and stomach."
Hold the footrest (foot bar) of the musculoskeletal improver (reformer) with both hands and place one foot on the wooden board under the footrest. Place the other foot on the main body (carriage) of the reformer and perform an exercise to push the spring.
Around the time of this various movements, various movements were carried out.
"I'm going to take a break and then I'll start again. Lord Sulwhath·"
"I can do more!"
She tried to keep exercising, even though her limbs were shaking from overexertion.
'After you lose weight, you won't be distracted by other women, will you?'
It was the most primal motivation for many young men and women who were determined to lose weight.
But like most people who are just starting to lose weight, she's just mindful. His stamina and muscles were already stretched to the limit.
"If you exercise too much, you'll get sick and take a few days off. It's important to exercise in moderation and consistently. Lord Sulwhath·"
Mu Jin is a skillful trainer and has begun to dry up Liu Xuehua.
Mujin's words forced her to stop exercising and tried to get up from the musculoskeletal improver, but her legs gave out from the overexertion.
Mujin, who was waiting next to her, moved quickly and helped her as she was about to fall to the floor.
When Mu Jin's hand touched his arm, Liu Xuehua's face turned red without a doubt.
‘··· Is it high blood pressure?'
Seeing that his face kept turning red, it seemed that he was at a dangerous level.
I felt like I needed to lose weight for her health.
* * *
Ten days have passed since I caught the three of them, Hong So-hee.
Mu Jin, who thought that the top of the heavens had stabilized to some extent now, finished his work and headed to the top of the heavens.
The gatekeepers who recognized Mu Jin moved out of the way, and they were able to follow the guidance of Governor Yang and head directly to Danju Hall.
And Liu Zhiguang, the master of the upper house, welcomed Mu Jin who had come for the first time in a long time.
"I've heard the story... Mujinja· Recently, the lore has become very active. Hahaha·"
Liu Zhiguang laughed with satisfaction at the change in his daughter, who had only been depressed.
"It seems like I'm getting help from Mujin every time..."
"It's just the Lord's efforts, but what have I done? Amitabha Buddha·"
It was half humble and half sincere. Liu Xuehua was so eager that Mu Jin was drying up for the sake of his health.
After that, we exchanged a few poetic conversations. I thought that was enough, Liu Zhiguang asked me about the matter.
"By the way, did you come to the top today for a fisherman?"
"Actually, I've come to see if it's time to open a local branch. Lord of the Upper Chamber·"
"You mean the fat division?"
"Yes· Didn't you start this business just to open a clinic in Dengfeng County?"
At Mu Jin's words, Liu Zhiguang laughed lightly. It was because Mujin had said so.
No matter how much Liu Zhiguang had connections with the grand viziers and rich people, he couldn't invite them to Deng Feng County every time.
For the sake of profit, it was indispensable to create a branch of the council by prefecture or gender.
Of course, Mujin didn't bring up the topic of "fat division" just to make a fortune at the top of the world.
The main reason why he came up with the local branch was because of the conversation he had with Liu Zhiguang last time.
Liu Zhiguang said that the movement of the upper celestial fat divisions was disturbing.
From Mujin's point of view, it could only sound like there was a dark curtain approaching the local divisions.
Therefore, Mujin intended to approach the disturbing bunta in the name of the local branch of the council.
Of course, I had no intention of searching for all the fat spots in the top of the heavens. Mu Jin had a pre-planned location, and fortunately, Liu Zhiguang asked about it first.
"Where are you going to make the local branch? Mujinja·"
In response to Liu Zhiguang's question, Mu Jin smiled lightly and replied.
"Nanchang, Jiangxi Province is the best. Lord of the Upper Chamber·"
Nanchang, Jiangxi Province
Unlike the other bunta, it was a bunta that was necessarily related to the dark curtain.
It was the upper liquor of the future that Mujin had seen in the novel.
But as if he still couldn't understand, Liu Zhiguang asked.
"Why did you choose Nanchang, located in Jiangxi Province, instead of Luoyang or Zhengzhou?"
The reason, of course, was simple.
Hong So-hee's tail had been cut off, and this time she was trying to hold on to the future top of the body, which had a high probability of being a body.
But that doesn't mean you can't say, "Your son is going to be a very bad guy in the future."
That's why Mujin gave a different reason.
"This neighborhood is like the main house of Tianliu and the front yard of our Shaolin, so you can enter at any time. But if you leave Henan Province... No, even if you go to the outskirts of Henan Province, other sects and Sega will speak with one voice."
"Luoyang and Zhengzhou can be advanced at any time, and if they are a little farther away, they will be checked, so why don't you go to Jiangxi Province this time?"
"Yes· The Upper Lord·"
Mu Jin's explanation made Liu Zhiguang shake his head, wondering if it made sense.
Starting from Dongjing Lake, it was divided into Hubong North in the north and Hunan in the south. And many of the Gu Pilbang and the Five Great Sega, the leaders of the Zheng Sect Wulin, were located on the north side of the East Lake.
Starting from Hanam, where Shaolin is located, just west is Shaanxi, where Volcano and Zhongnam are located. On the east side, the Huangbo family of Shandong and the Nangong family of Anhui are the Huangbo family. To the north was the Panga of Hebei. In the south, there is also the Zhuge Segawa shaman of Hubei.
As a result, the political factions were gaining ground in the north of the Dongjing Lake, but ironically, they were holding each other in check, making it difficult for them to expand their territory with each other. Even as all the factions represented political factions, they were fighting for a cause rather than a direct battle.
Meanwhile, Shaolin, which until now has been confined to the mountains like a noble crane, is reaching out to other areas?
They weren't going to stand idly by.
On the other hand, Jiangxi Province was a province located on the east side of Hunan and was a place where no major political factions were located.
Of course, as Anhui Province is located just to the north, Safa has not gained the upper hand. It was one of the so-called neutral zones or conflict zones.
"Hmmm... I can avoid being checked by the other big gates, but I don't think it's a very easy place to do either..."
"At the very least, it would be easier than having a congress in a place where one faction has the upper hand. It's also the closest to the neutral zone."
Another reason why Mujin was targeting it was because it was "still" a conflict zone.
In the future, the area will be controlled by a faction from the Black Islands called the Padobang.
And it was the place that was in charge of the backstabbing necessary for the future corrupt Heavenly Stream. Such as kidnapping and imprisoning the goods needed for human trafficking or making drugs.
But Mujin didn't do this just because he wanted to stop human trafficking and drug trafficking.
In the process of kidnapping and imprisoning trafficked goods, the Padobang used to smuggle out children with unusual constitutions such as yin and yang limbs and sun limbs.
In the first place, human trafficking and drug trafficking were only a cover, and the real purpose of the Black Shadow Force's partnership with the Tianyu Upper was to provide for children with this unusual constitution.
Therefore, Mujin decided to take this opportunity to sort out the future top liquor as well as the Pado Chamber that had not yet been fully sized.
* * *
A few days later·
Mu Jin and Liu Zhiguang climbed Songshan for the first time in a long time.
Liu Zhiguang expressed his approval of the creation of a provincial branch, but fundamentally, if Shaolin was not displaced, Mu Jin would not be able to leave for Jiangxi Province. Mujin was still tied up in Shaolin...
Liu Zhiguang had sent an inspection to visit him today, so the two of them were able to head to the room as soon as they arrived in Shaolin.
In the room where the two arrived, the room manager Hyuncheon and Chu Bo Dangju wise-up were waiting for the two of them.
"It's been a while. Upper Liquor Liquor·"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. Monk Chief·"
Immediately after Liu Zhiguang and Ambassador Hyuncheon exchanged greetings, Hyuncheon immediately asked for the main topic.
