The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

177

After the riotous banquet, the Jeongmu-maeng regains their daily calm.

Cheol Ji-ryang, Jegal Hyeopjin, Yang So-bang, Yeo-pyeong, and Byeok Un-yeong remained in the sponsorship.

“Tsk tsk, they’re still there. At the age of stepping down from the frontlines and nurturing younger students, you still can’t come to your senses and only think about fulfilling your family’s greed.”

Byeok Un-yeong kicked his tongue at Namgung Mu-hyu and Peng’s room, who had left.

“It is unavoidable. It was something I expected from the time I made the Yongbongwan. At least Geomhye helped me, so it ended easily.”

“It’s unreasonable to ask for help, my lord. It’s all for the sake of the political affairs alliance.”

Byeok Un-yeong waved lightly at Cheol Ji-ryang and smiled.

“Your Maenglord is right. If Geomhye hadn’t helped, there would never have been any help from adults Changcheon and Gwangho.”

At the words of Jegal Hyeop-jin, who received Cheol Ji-ryang’s words and returned the ball to her, Byeok Un-yeong rolled his eyes.

“It’s funny when you say that. Didn’t you know that it would be like this in the first place and finished all the arrangements in advance? It’s like trying to set up a representative… I made fun of the old people too much.”

Jegal Hyeop-jin only smiled at Byeok Un-yeong, who accurately pinpointed his inner thoughts.

How many people can hide their feelings in front of her?

Geomhye wall operation.

She was a warrior with very keen senses.

She was once called the Thousand-Handed Thousand Eyes (千手千眼) because of her swordsmanship, which says that only by training the five senses to the fullest can one gain insight.

A thousand hands, a thousand eyes. She doesn’t miss even the smallest changes and flows in front of her eyes.

“But will it be all right? I don’t know about Peng Uibang, who has an impatient personality like a bull, but Namgung Muhyu is a person with a deep heart. They will somehow work with Peng’s room to put Namgung Changwi in the position of representative.”

“I know.”

“Sounds like there is a plan.”

“A little bit.”

“That’s it.”

Byeok Un-yeong nodded and looked at Cheol Ji-ryang.

“More than that, I heard that people called ‘Gung’ disturb Moorim.”

“hmm. exactly.”

Botamun must have been contacted, so it was natural for Geomhye to know.

“Who are they?”

“Nothing has been clarified yet. However, it is difficult to move hastily. Because I blindly pursued them and suffered quite a bit of damage.”

“You’re talking about the work of Uichang.”

Instead of answering, Cheol Ji-ryang nodded heavily.

“Right. I managed to find their tails, which I had not caught for a long time, but somehow I dug a trap and escaped. It seems that gunpowder smuggling didn’t just happen in Danjiang. Many unfortunate people have died because of it. Still, I’ve found a suspicious trace in the opening and I’m chasing it, so something won’t be revealed. It seems the party is also looking for it.”

Yang Xiaobang shook his head at Cheol Ji-ryang’s words.

“I tried to open up with the party, but it is not easy. Even if you focus on the palace, Sapaecheon’s movements are unusual, so… What’s even more absurd is that the iron swordsmen who went to subjugate them are attached to Cheonwoong’s room. Even the strong man who defeated Cheon Woo-myeong appeared in Cheon-woong’s room.”

At Yang Xiaobang’s words, Zhuge Hyeopjin also made a serious expression.

“yes? What do you mean? Who is said to have defeated him?”

At the conversation between the two, Byeok Un-yeong opens his eyes wide and looks at them.

As everyone knows, the best leader of Sapaecheon was Hyeokryeonmugang, but the name of Cheolhyeolbyeonggwon, who always showed great power under him, was also very famous.

Moreover, she had fought with Chun Woo-myeong several times.

There was a time when, being a woman and Nabal, he got tired of his terrifying blows and ran away with his hair scattered.

“It seems that Cheonwoongbang recruited a new master. It wasn’t enough that he defeated Chun Woo-myeong, so he united Chun Woong-bang and the Iron Swordsman. How sorry. If the Cheonwoong Bang collapsed, the West would only have to worry about the Demonic Bridge.”

The union between Cheon Woong-bang and the Iron Sword is something that cannot be easily overlooked. But now, the most important thing to Byeok Un-yeong was the existence of the person who defeated Chun Woo-myeong.

It’s a hasty family, but if you’re outstanding enough to subdue Cheon Woo-myeong, you might be comparable to Bukri Do-cheon, the leader of the Demonic Ilwol.

There is no way that an unmanned person like that would fall like a shooting star from the dry sky.

“why? What kind of person?”

Byeok Unyeong looked at him with wide open eyes.

“That is very strange. Nothing has been figured out yet.”

Not only the Jegal cooperation, but also the Yang fire department frowned.

As a result, did not Jeong Jeong-gae, who went to Cheonung-bang, as well as the soldiers of the common faction go through great hardships?

Also, after that day, Cheon Woong-bang began to move against Sapae-cheon in earnest, but the master who defeated Cheon Woo-myeong did not even show his nose.

“Hmm, it doesn’t change anything. Right now, it is more important to focus on the power of ‘Gung’ rather than the problems within Sapaecheon.”

Cheol Ji-ryang cut off their conversation and looked at Yang So-bang.

“So, did the battlefield side have any results?”

“no. Because

the place called the battlefield has a close relationship with the body building…”

“yes. It looks like it’s going after the Dead Sea Battlefield. So, the Jeongmu-maeng side is going to look for the Dongrim battlefield.”

“Well, you have to be careful. If there is even friction with the coffin, the investigation itself may become difficult.”

“yes.”

A conversation between Cheol Ji-ryang and Yang So-bang.

It is also difficult to understand.

“Looking around the battlefield? What else do you mean by that?”

I felt like I would become an idiot if I did this.

Byeok Un-yeong, who regretted not paying attention to worldly affairs, looked at the two as if seeking an explanation, and Jegal Hyeop-jin opened his mouth instead.

“Actually, after Uichang’s incident, the traces of the group called Samgung became obscure. However, some time ago, strange rumors began to spread in Sanggye, so the opening began an investigation.”

“A strange rumor?”

“yes. Rumors have been circulating for some time that the owners of the battlefield are changing.”

“…?”

“I’m not sure yet, so I don’t have anything to say. However, there are a lot of suspicious corners. There is quite a possibility that it is related to ‘Palace’…”

Jegal Hyupjin, who voluntarily excludes the transmission of uncertain information by sparing his words.

It is only natural that he is a great soldier of the Jeong Mu-maeng, the head of the political faction Murim. There are many cases where countless lives come and go with his words.

“Anyway, I lost sight of the shaman’s sword afterwards. He risked his life to find their trail.”

Cheol Ji-ryang sighed as he recalled what happened in Sacheon.

As if he was really sorry, he shook his head and murmured.

“Are you a shaman?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

“…yes?”

“Heheh, the shaman was crouching down for a while, and then produced a great instrument.”

“…”

“I was given a title in the terms and conditions.”

Cheol Ji-ryang, thinking of Jinmu, concluded his words with a grin, as if asking when did he harden his face.

When the story of the shaman’s sword comes out, the atmosphere inside suddenly changes.

It was only a subtle emotional change, but there was no way that Geomhye, who had trained her senses to the extreme, could not feel the change.

for what reason?

Even everyone was making similar expressions in line with his relaxed atmosphere as if they were thinking of a character like Cheol Ji-ryang.

“Hey, what are the terms and conditions?”

“Isn’t it great? Received the title of shaman’s sword at such a young age. But that shouldn’t be surprising.”

The sheep fire department added the words.

“At least, even the Lord of the Lords would have been greatly embarrassed.”

“…”

As Jegal joined in, Byeok Un-yeong blinked his wide-open eyes and looked at Cheol Ji-ryang.

What if it’s embarrassing?

“Hey, these people. don’t make fun of me Anyone who hasn’t been hurt doesn’t know?”

Cheol Ji-ryang seems to be in a very good mood even though he is blaming him.

“Actually, he said he came to say hello, so I checked my skills and tried to let him sit down while I was stubborn, but I almost lost.”

“…yes?”

No way?

Even if you received the title of Shaman District Swordsman, you’re only a young man?

I couldn’t understand the wall management.

Have you ever dealt with enemy air force? Could it be that I was frustrated by my carelessness while trying to take care of the circumstances?

However, what follows is more speculative.

“I used this gear sword and even used a mechanical sword.”

“…”

Now I don’t know how to react.

it’s a sword

With a sword, he was the one who could beat even the Demonic Gyoju, Bukri Docheon, who was said to be the strongest in the midfield.

He almost lost his lifelong sword and even used a mechanical sword.

What nonsense do you mean?

“What a great guy he is.”

“…”

Yang Xiaobang received Cheol Ji-ryang’s words again.

“Isn’t it not enough to go to Guangxi Province and destroy the clan under the leadership of Sapaecheon called Peer Power Party alone and save Baekjiajang? You saved your disciples. Do you know where it is? It alleviated the illness of an adult Feng-hwan and saved his life. And they came straight to Gansuk and saved the community and even our disciple of openness from the hands of Duke Wong of the Cheonwoong Ark.”

“….”

Yang So-bang pours out the story at once, as if reading the public monument of a hero of Moorim.

As he listened to Jinmu’s long achievements, Byeok Unyeong’s eyes widened and he couldn’t close his gaping mouth.

that one person did? A guru of terms and conditions? in how many months?

The main character of the military hyeopji, which I am the author, is not that much.

But aside from anything else, what if it was enough to deal with Lee Kang-baek, one of the great horseheads, and Won Gonghu, one of Sapaeo’s kings?

“no way? Are you talking about the river?”

Cheol Ji-ryang replied as if it were natural for Byeok Un-yeong’s chanting-like astonishment.

“Hehe, Geomhye-nim, what did you hear? Because I almost lost myself.”

Even if she corrects her by saying that she misunderstood, everyone nods and agrees with the unbelievable story.

“Heh heh heh heh he started with a sword without hesitation.”

When Cheol Ji-ryang made a bewildered expression, everyone smiled warmly.

Are you making fun of yourself for coming out to Gangho for the first time in a while?

“Irao really fits the name of Shaman Swordsman.”

“…”

Rather, if Yang So-bang had said it, it would have been an exaggeration.

However, the swordsman Cheol Ji-yang said.

Moreover, even Deng Yeoping and cool-headed Zhuge Hyeopjin do not say anything.

“In fact, he is the countermeasure I set up.”

“…huh?”

“Didn’t you tell me earlier? It’s a countermeasure against the mind of Changchun.”

ah!

Byeokyeongyeong let out a soundless exclamation.

I thought that if I had the skills to achieve that level, just listening to it would be enough.

The level of the dojang called Cheongsang, who showed the demonstration, was at best tangi.

The rest would be no different. It must be similar or lacking.

No matter how excellent Namgung Changwi is, even if Gwangho’s teachings are added to Changchun’s secret assistance.

How can you surpass someone who has already reached the level of the river?

“From what I heard secretly, he is said to have reached the same number as the elder Punghwan.”

“…”

Yang Xiaobang kept adding.

I don’t even have the power to be surprised anymore.

It’s not just a river, it’s not just a river, but it’s equal to Jinryong Poonghwan. What is this…

Byeok Unyeong shook his head. It is beneficial to mental health to think comfortably that things that are not understood by the common sense of the world are just like that.

* * *

“Oh, it’s itchy again.”

Apparently, something like this happened once.

Are there bugs in your ears?

Jinmu annoyedly glared at the back.

Dang Se-ryeong, who eagerly sweeps the floor with her, and Un-am, who is reading the public record next to the mortuary tablet.

Could it be that they are swearing at me for making me do troublesome things?

“why?”

As Jinmu glared at him, Dang Se-ryeong nervously asked.

“no. Just keep doing what you’re doing. And you have to look more closely.”

“…”

“There might be a small hole. got it?”

He said it as if to soothe him, but Dang Se-ryeong’s eyes widened.

Anyway, cheap.

What can I do though?

People should be treated differently depending on the type of use.

There are types that need to be beaten to make them listen, but in the case of Dang Se-ryeong, although she has a bit of a bitch personality and is a liar, it is helpful to calm her down well.

Wasn’t it easy to find the first piece in Cheongseong thanks to this guy?

If he hadn’t found it then, Jinmu’s dreams and hopes would have collapsed early.

I also got the precious Samyang Safety Team.

Unam has a very strong feeling of being a subordinate, but Dang Se-ryeong feels like looking at her granddaughter with a bad temper, and moreover, when she sees the scars on her arm hidden inside her sleeve… kinda.

“What are you standing there for?”

Dang Se-ryeong was very annoyed at the sight of Jinmu staring at him blankly.

It was like, “I’m going to lose my eyeballs from looking at it in detail, but why do I keep looking at it?”

It’s been several days already.

On the first day, we looked through records from a hundred years ago in a common library.

At Jinmu’s request, Dang Se-ryeong meticulously searched through over a hundred books to see if there were any parts that were broken or played with words.

Three days passed like that, and the place that continued was before the investigation.

Five days in all.

When he complained of fatigue, he nodded as if he understood everything, and switched roles this time.

Dang Se-ryeong examines Jinmu, the floor, and walls, and Unam reads the records.

The problem is that it doesn’t tell you what the hell you’re looking for.

I was just told to look for holes or crevices and traces of microscopic organs.

I told the common elder that I would hold a ceremony before the investigation, but I didn’t even pretend to bow once. He just waited until his co-disciple closed the door and left, then immediately started to act.

“Mistress, I really can’t eat it!”

Unable to bear it, Tang Se-ryeong jumped up and opened her snake eyes and looked at Jinmu.

“I will not! can not! How many days has this been?”

“Please bear with me a little bit. I’m almost done reading the official records, so I’ll help you right away.”

After all, his subordinate Samho is unique. Jinmu nodded happily inwardly.

“shut up! you work hard I won’t!”

Dang Se-ryeong seemed to have gotten to know Un-am a lot, and after talking to Un-am openly, he annoyedly turned around and went outside before the investigation.

A rat-catcher with no patience.

Still, I’ll have to step back a little tomorrow. Because I need to catch a mouse. got it?

“hey! Where?”

“hungry! I’m going to eat!”

Jinmu shakes his head at the sight of Dang Se-ryeong who has already gone outside.

“Is that Jinmu Dojang?”

“huh?”

“I don’t think there is anything?”

“….”

“I don’t know what you’re looking for, but it’s better to go somewhere else…”

He smiled, but his eyes were already red and bloodshot.

It was because he was so zealously carrying out Jinmu’s request (?) that he didn’t blink easily.

“hmm. How far have you read?”

“hey.”

Unam pointed with his finger…

“Why did you read that?”

“yes?”

“I said over there!”

The place Jinmu pointed out was from now to Jangmun-in before the six generations to Jangmun-in before the third generation.

“…”

At those words, Unam made an expression that the sky would collapse.

Jinmu misunderstood the first finger pointing.

I thought it was just pointing at the mortuary tablet, so I carefully went through each one, starting with the invitation, but that wasn’t it.

“No, I just said it a long time ago, and all the mortuary tablets hurt my eyes!”

Seeing Unam babbling in excitement with a resentful look on his face, Jinmu put on a puzzled expression.

is this going to die?

It is not that there is nothing to say that it is Jinmu. I was concentrating on finding possible traces with Dang Se-ryeong, and since I believed in Unam in the first place, I just left it with confidence.

No, you have to look at the part your finger is pointing at. Why uselessly look at the whole thing?

I’ll have to keep a good record of it in my head.

Subordinate Samho’s comprehension is lower than expected.

“Ha, that’s it. it’s okay. let’s go out Let’s go and eat first.”

Perhaps because Dang Se-ryeong shouted for food and went out, I suddenly felt hungry.

“Is that so?”

At that, Unam replied brightly, as if he had never had a look of disappointment.

A look as if he had been saved.

This bastard… didn’t want to do it either.

Jinmu glared at Unam with narrowed eyes.
