The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 318

The people in the inn couldn’t take their eyes off the scene in front of them with their mouths open.

A white cloak symbolizing the shaman’s sword embroidered with vivid dragons as if it would fly alive at any moment. A topknot worn by curling up neatly combed hair.

In addition, even the gold-leafed Ilhui, which had a black color, was worn around the waist, and the dignity flowed like a celestial man who had just descended.

Moreover, Hwangsin and So Dongbo, who followed behind, wore dark bloody clothing, so Jinmu, dressed in white, stood out even more.

“We are ready.”

“…”

At Jinmu’s words, Yang Sobang and Gakchul silently lowered their eyes and looked at themselves.

“Ours?”

“…?”

At Yang Xiaobang’s words, Jinmu looked at him quietly and smiled.

“What new clothes does the beggar wear?”

“But…”

It was a word that came out without realizing it because he seemed too serious and lazy compared to Jinmu and the others.

What does a beggar change into? These guys are proud of their clothes that are patched together and look like they will crumble at the touch of a hand.

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s go.”

“Ehh… that’s right.”

Yang So-bang, thinking that he should change his clothes later, sighs heavily and follows Jin-mu.

Jinmu was about to walk in front of him, but the door of Haewolgak opened wide and a group of guru dressed in apparel went inside.

“Priests!”

“…uh?”

Jin-gung?

why did that guy come?

Jinmu tilts his head, but Jingung approaches Yang Sobang and bows politely.

“The shaman’s Jingung meets the old man Mupunggae.”

“…Ah, is that you? Your eyesight is really good, yes. It’s been a while since you found me.”

It wasn’t long before Yang Xiaobang opened his eyes and glared mischievously, and Jin Gong smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

“Why are you scolding me for that?”

“…uh? No, I was just kidding.”

“Anyway, like a jjomsaeng.”

“You’re so short…!”

“It’s Jinmu. Be careful with your words. Didn’t you tell me?”

Jingoong frowned and nagged.

Anyway, that naive personality hasn’t changed in the slightest.

Jinmu ignored Yang So-bang, who was talking sadly next to him, and asked Jin-goong.

“What’s the matter anyway?”

“…I came to meet you.”

“Meet me? You haven’t sent any news?”

“huh? Didn’t you know?”

“yes? What?”

“Hehe, when did most of Danjiang-gu become the domain of shamans because of you?”

“…of a shaman?”

“I really didn’t know. Anyway, I really can’t stop you.”

Seeing Jinmu’s puzzled expression, Jingoong shook his head and briefly explained what had happened.

It was Jinmu who emerged as a benefactor to the merchants of Dankang-gu by driving out the gang of Gongsa-cheok in the past.

In addition to the victory in the conflict with the Jegal Bunga, as Jinmu made his exploits around the central plains, merchants came in line and the shaman’s influence naturally grew.

“Thanks to the sponsorship of Priest Jinhye’s hometown, Yu Jingung, a branch of Wujingung was established in Danjiang-gu. I also live there most of the time.”

“ah…!”

Jinmu nodded.

If the shaman’s domain has expanded, it is only natural that Woo Jin-gung, who mainly deals with foreign affairs, will step in.

By the way, family head Wu is sponsoring it. You sly bastards who say you need to know at least one ability to survive.

I would never have thought that they would be expanding their position as a support force while there was no progress.

no matter what

As long as Jin Myung is nominated as the next Jang Moon-in, he will only aim for the position of elder.

If it’s Jinhye, it’s not bad.

It’s faster than the boring one-time disciples, so if you become an elder, it won’t be any harm.

“Anyway, everyone is waiting for the news that you’re coming back. I’ve already put the news in the main mountain, so everyone will be waiting with thirst.”

“…is that so?”

“Isn’t it natural? you are a foolish sword It is also the key to rebuilding the shaman.”

“…”

Jinmu laughed a little, feeling that Jingoong’s proud expression made him feel better.

Should we call this a golden home?

“But who are they?”

Jinmu threw his eyes at the young guru who followed Jingung and asked.

Taurus boys, around the age of fifteen, were standing in a row in an upright position, secretly glancing at the martial arts.

“Oh, are you seeing this for the first time?”

“…”

“Your followers.”

Jingoong glanced at Jinmu and winked at Jinmu.

Did you know that this naive guy could make a face like that? But what about my followers?

“Don’t you know? They are all children who heard your great name and climbed Wudang Mountain. He is the third disciple of Unja Bae, who has passed countless competitions and belongs to the Oryong Palace.”

“…”

Jinmu made a slightly surprised expression. Not the second generation, but the third generation?

“Tsk tsk, it’s because the news is so dark. If you contacted me often, you would have already known everything… The problem is that you are too indifferent.”

It’s true that I was indifferent…

“Now, everyone, say hello. The first disciple of the shaman, your classmate, and the sword of the shaman of the time, Jinmu.”

At Jin-gung’s command, the young masters all fired their fists and shouted loudly as if the inn were about to leave.

“The disciple of Ohryonggung is meeting Sasukjo.”

“…”

Something feels strange. Sason (師孫)….

The shaman grew up quite a lot.

Jinmu smiled and nodded in response.

“It’s dumb. Please take good care of me.”

“yes! Housekeeper!”

* * *

“Wow!”

I was genuinely surprised.

After parting from Jingung, who had to manage Danganggu, he arrived at Haegeomji, halfway up Mt. Wudang, guided by the disciples of Wulonggung.

“Sasook!”

“…ah.”

When Jinmu arrived, the name of the guru who greeted him warmly was… Cheongryo?

He was a troublesome guy who brought food to Chungheoam every day.

The first disciple from Do-dong of Chungheo-am ignored it, asking if it was something the great disciple had done, and now he is pretending to be friendly while fussing around.

But that’s him. When did the sea index change like this?

It seems like just yesterday that it was time to enter Jinmu’s body and drive stakes into the seabed, but now there were stakes as well as a splendidly built prose gate in the inn.

It was much more splendid and magnificent than the time it was destroyed during the Revolutionary War.

These guys… spent a lot of money.

I worked hard to earn it, but I didn’t even know it was a waste and spent it.

Still, it’s a little proud to see the shaman rebuilt.

“Come up. Jang Moon-in and the elders are waiting for Sa-suk to come.”

“…Oh yeah.”

Jinmu, who nodded, suddenly stopped walking and looked at Cheongryo.

“…why do you do that?”

“…”

Are you asking because you don’t know?

When Jinmu opened his eyes, Cheongryo blinked and looked at him.

tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk If you build it beautifully

“Cleaning.”

“yes?”

“What are you doing?”

“…yes?”

“Where is this?”

“…That’s right, the sea sword…ji.”

“I know.”

“…”

“Anyone who knows that is trying to let a foreigner come to the head office without asking for a sea sword?”

“…!”

At the slightly raised voice, Cheongryo widened his eyes and stuttered an excuse.

“No, that’s because Sasuk’s guest… The old man Moupungae is also with him…”

“What a damn bastard!”

“…”

Suddenly, Jinmu opened his eyes wide and stared at Chung-ryo.

“Did the Master Jang even order you to do that!”

“…”

At Jinmu’s abstract scream, Cheongryo fell flat on his face with a frightened expression.

“That’s…”

“Shut up, you bastard!”

When he shouted without hiding his anger, Cheongryo hung his head and trembled.

“Cheongryo Haegeomji is the pride of a shaman. Even if the lord of political affairs comes, no exceptions should be made unless the master general orders it! But how dare you break the shaman’s pride with your petty judgment?”

At Jinmu’s words, Cheongryo flinched and shouted loudly.

“sorry. Sasuk! I made a big mistake.”

“Do you think mistakes can end with words!”

“…”

At Jinmu’s screams, Cheongryo closed his mouth like a mute who had eaten honey.

“Tsk, I will ask for your sins later as a separate punishment. The guests have to enter the mountain, so stand up and correct the shaman’s pride.”

“yes!”

Cheongryo, who jumped up, spoke politely to Jinmu’s party.

“A sea sword, please.”

Was it because he had seen Jinmu issue an unholy order?

Hwangsin and So Dongbo took it for granted, and they quickly pulled out their green bamboo poles and held out their stilts.

“I will keep it carefully and return it when I descend.”

Even though Cheongryo withdrew, Jinmu’s expression did not seem to be straightened.

“Listen to the three generations of the Sea Sword!”

“yes!”

The three generations, who were very afraid of Jinmu’s voice, answered vigorously, taking a stance.

“As I said, Haegeomji is the pride of a shaman. Whether you are a guest or a nobleman, you must never untie the sword until the one who has come to untie it and hand it over to you! Keep in mind that you are the face of a shaman and the gateway to keep your pride!”

“Yes, sir!”

Jinmu nodded his head at the roaring answer.

“Clean up!”

“yes.”

“Announce our arrival and ask for permission to climb the mountain!”

“yes!”

Cheong-ryo hurriedly runs up and sends the jeonseo-gu flying high.

“Hehe, I didn’t know you had such a stubborn side. If anyone sees it, they’ll know that it’s a shaman bankruptcy.”

“That shaman guru is right.”

“Who said what? He just got along with you a bit… His tone was cheesy…”

“…”

This old man is really.

Yang Xiaobang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and Jinmu turned his head away with a slightly reddened face.

However, even the appearance of Yang So-bang was fortunate.

It hasn’t changed.

As a shaman, he learned the martial arts of Sapaecheonju and was now in a situation where he would rise to the position of owner of Sapaecheon.

Even if the body’s inaction is the best in the world, it is on a level that cannot be denied, so isn’t it enough to stare at the midfielder?

No matter how upright a person is, it will change after he wears a gamtu.

It is normal to want to show off when you gain great power, and it is natural to feel the urge to conquer the world.

However, Jinmu, whom Yang Xiaobang sees, is still a shaman, free-spirited, and upright shaman.

“I got a call from the housekeeper. It is a scorpion to accompany the guests and go up to Jasogung.”

“i get it. Your sins will be dealt with separately through the council of elders, so make every effort to protect Haegeomji.”

“yes! Sasuk!”

The cheong-ryong is hardened to the point of being stiff, so I lower my head.

“Anyway, isn’t that too much? If you’ve been admonishing me too much, I can forgive you. Punishment for something like this.”

“It’s a shaman’s job.”

“….”

“There are rules that must be changed, but there are also rules that must be followed.”

At Jinmu’s knife-like words, Yang So-bang didn’t add any more and kept his mouth shut.

Yes, it’s because of the rules. It’s a matter of self-esteem.

It wasn’t because Cheongryo threw low-quality food at Chungheoam in the past, and it wasn’t because Jinmu laughed at him when he talked about being a great disciple… Well, the effect of tidying up a little…

Shaking his head to shake off his narrow thoughts, Jinmu crossed the mountain gate at once and moved to the top of Wudang Mountain.

* * *

“The shaman’s Jinmu returns from an outing and sees the Jangmunin and the elders.”

The Great War of Jaso Palace.

Everyone puts a happy smile on their faces when they see Jinmu bowing politely to the elders who are seated in two rows with Jang Moon-in at the center.

“Cut down the courtesy of the swordsman and stop sitting down.”

“yes!”

It was only after Myeonghyeon, a long-time scholar, gave permission, that Jinmu sat down with a bright face.

“So how have you been?”

“Yes, a long writer.”

“I already heard the news after leaving North Jin. You dismantled Yuyuecheong and destroyed Sapaecheon?”

“I did not tear it down, but gave it back to those who had a right will.”

“Hehe, you mean right.”

Myeonghyeon smiled in satisfaction at Jinmu’s exemplary answer, and the elders nodded in the same way.

How can you not be happy?

Jinmu, which rebuilt the shaman that was collapsing and made its name widely known in the central plains, was itself a blessing from heaven.

“Yes, I heard the news in advance, so you were appointed as the sappe cheonju?”

“yes. Unfortunately, it happened.”

When Jinmu looks embarrassed, Myeonghyeon shakes his hand and smiles.

“What do you mean? If that’s what you mean, then you can do it.”

“…”

Huh?

“If necessary, sit on top of the Sapaecheonju.”

“…yes?”

what? did you allow it? so easy?

“Ha, but the Four Emperors are invincible…”

“What does that have to do with it? The shamans of the past are dead, and the shamans of the present are developing.”

“…”

What is this? what’s been so late? When did you come to Chungheoam in order for breaking the Ten Commandments and go wild?

“Didn’t you tell me in North Jin? The shaman is obsessed with old grudges and does not teach us to view with prejudice. Also, if you get caught in the past, you can’t move forward.”

“…”

“The meeting with the elders has already ended. We decided to develop our strength through constant change so that we would not be trampled on again.”

“…ah what… yes.”

When the permission was given so easily, Yang So-bang and Jin-moo were all bewildered.

“It’s Jinmu.”

“yes?”

“No matter what you look like, you just have to remember one thing.”

“…”

“Even though you are away from the shaman, it does not change that you are the shaman’s disciple. Go your way as a shaman swordsman. The shaman will support you to the end.”

Jinmu, who was dazed at the words of Jang Moon-in, slowly bowed.

“I will keep in mind, disciple.”

“OK.”

A place where everyone is happy.

Jinmu meets the eyes of Myeong-jin, the lord of the Dragon Palace and his teacher.

Jinmu smiled at him as he gently rolled his eyes and smiled happily.

Just as Master said, I’m back to rest. It’s only for a while, but…
