The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 154

After a while.

The people who had filled the inn were leaving their beds one by one to go to bed when the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door.

“Is this here?”

“yes. Sovereign Lord!”

Judging from the voice of the hairy boy Janghan from earlier, it seemed that a group of demons had appeared.

It was clear to see the complexion of Jeoksaeng and his party who were drinking in a corner and the face of the innkeeper turning white.

“Shall I guide you?”

Unam clenched his fists as if he had noticed them approaching.

what is the guidance

That kind of thing is only for those who can succeed.

Jinmu patted Unam lightly on the shoulder and stood up.

“Look. owner.”

“…yes?”

The terrified innkeeper answered in a trembling voice.

“Go and call some officials.”

“…?”

“Since they captured the Magic Flame Team, they told me to bring the bounty.”

“…!”

Leaving behind the innkeeper and his students, who were staring at him with a surprised expression, Jinmu walked out the door.

widely!

The door closed and a few conversations came and went as if I could barely hear them.

“You son of a bitch! Kill!”

A high-pitched voice is heard.

bang! Clap! Wow!

Hearing various sounds outside, Jeoksaeng approached Unam with a worried expression.

“Look at this. What do you want to see?”

“yes? why?”

Unam, sipping alcohol with innocent eyes, tilted his head.

“No, how alone? they are seven Of course you have to help.”

“Not seven, eight… Oh, there’s just one left.”

“…?”

Unam listened to the sounds outside and smiled.

profit.

“You bastard, do you use poison while memorizing?”

Jinmu walked in with a very unconcerned look.

“uh? what? Hey boss. I told them to go and call the government, but what if they are still there?”

The people in the inn looked at Jinmu, who was frowning, with blank faces.

“no way?”

Jeoksaeng, who was the first to come to his senses, slammed open the door and froze in place.

“This can’t be…”

Outside the inn.

Seven horses galloping undisturbed.

And with their legs bent in the direction they shouldn’t be, eight unmanned men passed out with foam at the mouth.

It’s a magical team.

Except for the two who were killed by Dang Se-ryeong, the rest. Truly single-handedly, he knocked down 8 Magic Flame Teams.

Jeoksaeng, who thought he was just a bit talented, turned his head and looked at Jinmu and Unam with wide open eyes.

“what? Why are you so noisy while taking a bath?”

Red-cheeked Dang Se-ryeong came out with her wet hair wrapped in a cloth.

When her dust-covered beauty was revealed, the inside of the inn seemed to light up for an instant, but after seeing her cruel appearance, no one considered her beautiful.

“It’s just that I’ve been rehabilitating a bunch of rude people for a while.”

Unam smiled and replied to Dang Se-ryeong.

“Oh yeah?”

As expected, Dang Se-ryeong came over and sat at the original table.

Jeok-saeng, who had never seen or heard of such people, looked at them with a stunned expression.

“Who the hell are you guys?”

The words were changed to a slightly higher john.

A place called Moorim is like that. Skills are age and status.

Needless to say, Sapa is home to ronin.

Jinmu laughed at him like that.

“Would you like a drink?”

“…”

“Come here. It’s still early in the evening, so let’s have a drink together.”

It felt good to make money unexpectedly.

If Jeoksaeng hadn’t said that there was a bounty on those who were called Demon Flames, he would probably have crushed them without a shape.

“Would you like to come here?”

Jinmu smiled with a grateful heart, but in the eyes of Jeoksaeng, it looked like the smile of a yaksha who kills people and searches for the next target.

“Who knows what?”

In addition, the demonic woman of hell who came back after taking a bath.

“Ah, it’s a small thing, but they’re the people I’m thankful for for worrying about us.”

In addition, an innocent and innocent smiling goblin who says that it is a trivial thing to have wiped out a demon dan with a bad name nearby.

If he made a single mistake with such cruel people…

Jeok-saeng became contemplative as if he was a cow being led to the slaughterhouse by Jinmu’s hand gestures that repeatedly called him.

* * *

The circumnavigation was repeated, and as everyone got drunk, various stories flowed out.

Originally, when you get drunk, everyone picks up and serves like a habit, saying, ‘I did something in the past.’

“You mean ten years?”

Jinmu made a surprised expression at Jeoksaeng’s words.

“…yes. Somehow, the years have passed.”

I didn’t even think about it.

The life of the ronin was not easy enough to maintain their name for ten years.

“The same number of people here right now?”

“yes. I’m lucky.”

“You mean no one died?”

“Yes, by chance.”

The red student was embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.

It could be.

If they’d only been involved in really low-key battles over the past ten years, that would have been quite possible.

But if that were the case, there would be no need to get together like this.

You must have already starved to death.

The job of being a rongin wouldn’t be a side job either.

“uh? command sentence? The battle was pretty big, right? Are there many casualties? You did well even in that battle.”

While the heroic story of Nangindae, who is excited to the fullest, continues.

When the story of the fight between Jeryungmun and Cheoljinbang in Sacheon came out, Dang Se-ryeong asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“okay? Was that enough?”

“It happened in Amsacheon…”

Dang Se-ryeong blurted out at Jinmu’s question.

This is because Jinmu told them not to reveal their identities because they knew them as a lover through transmission.

“Anyway, that incident ruined Jeryeongmun and Cheoljinbang. Almost everyone who took part in the battle died. I heard there are only a few survivors. It seems that everyone is doing better than I thought.”

Let Dang Se-ryeong take another look at them.

“…That’s not it…”

When Jeok-saeng felt awkward, one of his companions, a large man named Foshan, added a comment.

“Daeju, unlike ours, has an excellent eye for reading the war situation. In other words, a combat-type military?”

“huh? What kind of small grain is that?”

“Actually, our lord is not originally a ronin.”

“if?”

At Foshan’s words, Jinmu looked at Jeoksaeng.

“It was a bachelor’s failure.”

“Failure?”

Are you a fighting soldier?

“yes. There was a time when I studied the past to enter the Academy.”

He said it bitterly, as if talking about a past that has already gone by, but just that he challenged the National Academy of Sciences is a great thing.

Hallimwon is the place where the king’s eomyeong is made. Makes a history of the dynasty and compiles a librarian.

That’s why it is a place where only the talented people in the former midfield are given a chance to challenge.

Just because he challenged to become a bachelor at the Academy, he deserves to be praised as a university bachelor in most provinces.

In fact, among the shaman songs of the Jungwon, the one that is not often produced in the Jegal Sega, which is famous for wisdom, is the Hallimwon Bachelor.

“After I fell three times, I found out. That my talent is not a bachelor’s degree, but rather a military one.”

“A military gate?”

“yes. strategy and tactics. Jinbeop and the like fit my aptitude much better than historical studies. Anyway, after that, I only pursued war for a decade, and then I was kicked out and became a ronin because I rebelled against the will of my superiors.”

“…”

Unam was listening, saying that’s just the case, but Jinmu and Dang Se-ryeong looked at Jeok-saeng with an absurd expression.

It’s already been 10 years since I challenged the bachelor’s degree at Hallymwon 3 times, 10 years as a martial artist and 10 years as a writer.

Thirty years in total?

“No, how old are you?”

“I am fifty this year.”

“Shh Sheen…?!”

Jinmu and Dang Se-ryeong this time even Unam look surprised.

it’s fifty What the hell is this face value?

He only looks to be in his mid-thirties. Isn’t it too long to do this?

“What’s the secret?”

I am also a woman, and Jinmu asked another question, lightly ignoring Dang Se-ryeong, who was amazed and asked how to stay young.

“I see. So, are all of you here people you met during the battle?”

“yes. Everyone went around in groups and survived one by one, so they became close…”

Judging from the rude behavior of the ronin, it was most likely that they survived in battles large and small for ten years because of the ability of their enemies.

“No, wouldn’t it be better to have enemies in a certain faction with that ability? More stable.”

“It should be. But other than going to war, things didn’t go very well. It’s usually useless.”

“No, but he could be a teacher who teaches strategy tactics.”

At Jinmu’s words, Jeoksaeng shyly scratches the back of his head.

“It’s because of the nature of the field.”

huh what?

“Oddly enough, it didn’t come out very well unless it was a battle scene.”

He is a very rare fellow.

A soldier who shines only when he is fighting a war. I thought that there are people who are truly unique. Well, in a way, he may be a born soldier.

“So, where are you going now? Seeing that they are leading all the members, it seems that there is a battle somewhere?”

Jeoksaeng nodded at Jinmu’s question.

“It is said that there will be a large-scale war in Gansu. A room has already been attached to the nearby Seongdo to recruit ronin.”

“If it’s Gansuk… can’t it?”

Jinmu’s eyes narrowed at Jeoksaeng’s words.

And a word that followed.

“yes. This is Cheonungbang.”

Cheonungbang?

Jimmu’s wide-open eyes trembled slightly, but no one noticed the change.

“Chun Woong-bang is recruiting ronin for the war. Is it a conflict with the communal wave?”

When Dang Se-ryeong, who knew about Cheon Woong-bang, asked, Jeok-saeng shook his head.

“no. According to rumors I heard, it was a riot within Sapaecheon.”

Ha internal turmoil?

Jinmu’s face began to become more and more distorted.

Cheonungbang (天雄房).

It was a name that Jinmu missed very much.

If the five generations of the Gupaebang were the main axis of the Jeongmu-maeng, Cheonungbang was a huge faction that was in charge of one axis of the Sapaecheon.

It was a school of history and tradition that had dominated Gansu for a long time even before Sapaecheon was created.

Moreover, if the person he remembers is still Cheonwoong’s Ark, it must be Gwanwol’s Duke Wonghu, who is not lacking even compared to Chilsung Jeongmu.

“Could you elaborate?”

“…yes? We don’t know the details either. The room only said that it was recruiting ronin to participate in the fight, and rumors say that Sapaecheon sent an unmanned force to attack Cheonungbang.”

“You sent an unmanned aerial vehicle?”

“…”

When Jinmu suddenly jumped up in anger, everyone looked at him curiously.

“what’s the matter?”

Dang Se-ryeong tilted his head and asked, but Jinmu was not in a condition to answer the question.

What the hell are these crazy bastards doing?

It wasn’t even ten years since he died, only two years.

By the way, it’s not a problem inside Cheonungbang, but it’s an attack from Sapaecheon’s nature?

It’s absurd.

Sending an unmanned force from Sapaecheon to attack Cheonungbang was, in other words, the same story as Jeongmu-maeng attacking one of the Gupaebangs.

The current Jeongmu-maeng was trying to build a Yongbonggwan and build strength through the later index.

The Ilwol Demonic Cult’s Northern Lidocheon seemed to be still active, and the strange guys who were in the palace or something started to attack.

If this son of a bitch was well prepared and fed, he would not think of working hard, what? Attack Cheonungbang?

It’s not another place, it’s Cheonungbang.

There is no way that the strongest force, the Iron Swordsman, can move directly, and to fight Cheonung-bang, the two unmanned teams at the top of Sapaecheon’s nature must be sent.

Cheonungbang is also Cheonungbang, but it is not likely that there will be surplus warriors.

I was so angry that I felt like my head was about to explode.

“No, why the hell is that?”

Dang Se-ryeong frowned and asked.

It was understandable that this was an incomprehensible reaction to her. It’s only Sapaecheon’s affair, and if an infighting broke out between them, it would be very welcome as a member of the Political Affairs League.

towards her.

It’s because I was a sapae lord!

Is it not possible to say that?

Pudeudeuk.

Jinmu took a deep breath and looked straight at Jeoksaeng after barely clearing the bubbling inside.

“You’re going to Cheonung’s room?”

“…yes. But how?”

“Let’s go… together.”

Check with your own eyes what these damn things are up to.
