The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 244

After the incident in the village of unknown, a month has passed in an instant.

In the meantime, Jeong Moo-maeng began to strengthen his inner strength to make Sejak his original color.

The existence of Sejak was present everywhere except for places where the identity of Jaffa was clear, such as Odaedomun Shaolin and Amipa.

The five generations leading the shaman family were like that, and several of the old schools that repeated the practice of joining together were like that.

Not to mention the small and medium-sized waves, and there were a lot of people who unknowingly came into contact with the Samgung until they reached Sanggye and Pyoguk.

Jegal Hyeopjin, the grand commander of the Jeongmu-maeng, sent letters to all places belonging to the Jeongmu-maeng, officially announcing the launch of the inspection team.

Naturally, this caused a huge backlash.

The owners of Gupa and Shamanism raised their voices to have time for self-purification, but Jegal Hyeopjin had no intention of backing down.

Although the existence of the inspection team was a temporary measure prepared to surprise the enemy at the suggestion of Jinmu, the reality was different.

It was one of the things that Zhuge Hyeopjin had already planned for a long time, like Yongbonggwan.

Yongbonggwan and the inspection team.

A group that exclusively belongs to the Jeongmu-maeng and has surveillance and binding powers for subordinate forces.

It was because it would be an absolute power that strengthened the power of the leader.

The existence of Sejak and the plan of Jinmu made a justification for the fact that only plans were made for fear of opposition from subordinate forces.

Even if it was for a ruse, it was as if an inspection team had already been created. It just announced the launch as if it had been waiting for it.

Moreover, Geomhye Byeok Un-yeong said that he would directly take over as the head of the inspection team, and Unam, a disciple of Jinryong Punghwan, was under his command, so it couldn’t have been better.

Jeongmu-maeng was moving towards power step by step.

Just in time, the rebel forces in Sapaecheon requested a ceasefire.

From their point of view, they are in the middle of a civil war, so the friction with the political affairs alliance will be awkward.

But it’s a good time. If they wage a civil war, they won’t have to worry about the threat of Sapaecheon for a while, except for minor friction in the region.

Moreover, if their power was reduced through civil war, that would also be a welcome thing.

In the meantime, the Jeongmu-maeng gets time to build up its stability.

All you have to do is cut off the rotten roots and give strength to the strong roots.

everything is so smooth

widely.

Jegal Hyupjin, who had been drawing up a plan related to the inspection team, put down his brush for a while and looked out the window.

“Jinmu…”

When I think of him, a smile automatically comes to mind. It was a different matter than liking him.

Up to Yongbonggwan of the Public Warfare Inspection Corps.

The plan that Jegal Hyeopjin had made was strangely meshed with him and was being carried out like water.

“Sorry. If he were there, he would surely be of great help to the political affairs alliance. He is a person who will be central to bringing stability to Murim by unifying Jeongsama…”

Jegal Hyeopjin wanted to place him in an important position in the Jeongmu-maeng. However, after the incident in Nameless Village, he disappeared again.

However, he belongs to a shaman.

Wherever he was, he thought that Jungwon was his home, and that he was a shaman and a government official.

“It will appear somewhere else.”

Chegal Hyeopjin smiled and picked up the brush again.

* * *

The northern foot of Xiaohua Mountain in Shaanxi Province.

A mountain road with clear ruts, perhaps because carriages often came and went.

A carriage decorated with red cloth and a cart laden with goods stopped as if blocked by something, and a large number of people were gathered.

“Heh heh. Does it look pretty?”

Jang-han, a hairy boy wearing clothes made of animal fur, threatened the woman with a moon sword.

“Kyaaaagh!”

The woman was horrified as a huge, hideous face was thrust into her eyes.

“…”

Why? what? why?

Haven’t you done anything yet?

The hairy Janghan looked at the woman with frowning eyes.

What came to the woman’s eyes was surprise, tension

, dirt, and

contempt.

“Kyaaak! Wow!”

Jang-han, a hairy boy who didn’t know why, completely realized the development of the situation from a while ago and his face twisted.

no, it got worse.

“Such a bitch!”

The hairy Jang-han’s eyes bent backwards and his face flushed red.

His name is Guilsik.

He was a person who lost his parents early and wandered around the vagrant village… Anyway, he became a bandit.

Before he turned 30, he became the head of a fairly well-known gang of bandits in Onamsan Mountain, and his strength was so great that he could lift a hundred pounds of stone.

And he’s ugly.

The first person who sees it is, ‘Wow! I saw something unlucky, mistress!’ to the point of spitting!

Even if he was ugly, he was really ugly.

“hey! Hogol!”

“yes! Chaeju!”

“Isn’t that bitch surprised to see my face?”

“It’s a crazy bitch!”

Hogul, who was covering his nose with a hood, replied confidently.

“Hmm, well, there’s no reason to be so surprised when you see my face.”

quick to understand

why! what are you watching?

Someone tell me I’m just filthy ugly!

The woman wanted to shout, but it was herself who was in danger.

Under the mountain, Yang Seol-ye, the daughter of a fairly well-known family called Buunjang, was on her way over the mountain to hold a wedding ceremony.

In preparation for an unexpected situation, I asked a small port in the vicinity for an escort and transport of luggage.

In fact, there weren’t many things that could pose a threat near Mount Sohwa. It is a political faction’s sphere of influence, so there are no bandits, so the only thing to do is to be careful of the beast’s attack.

In fact, even that isn’t much of a threat. It was very unlikely that a beast would appear on the path people walk in broad daylight.

The trip went smoothly, and it was only going to end once we crossed the mountain, but a gang of bandits appeared out of nowhere.

“Why are you blocking our way! You do not know that Shaanxi is the territory of the Volcanic Wave!”

Pyo Guk-ju, who was said to have been a self-proclaimed disciple of Hwasan, who shouted out loud, fainted from a single blow of a large mace, and the warriors with swords immediately knelt down in one corner.

“The cart is quite full.”

Guilsik glanced around and looked at the cart.

“The woman’s face is also smooth.”

Looking at Yang Seol-ye, he laughs bitterly like Song Chung-i.

“I caught a big fish. Chaeju.”

Fan owner Hogul laughs greedily.

“That’s right. It was good to come down to Mt. Sohwa and take a look. I never thought I would find a carriage going alone because the day I went was market day.”

“That’s right. I still don’t have enough money to send to the main building this month, but thanks to that, I’ll be able to drink generously.”

Ho-geol agrees with Gu Il-shik’s words and nods his head.

Mansanchae is located on Mount Onam, north of Seomyeon.

Mt. Sohwa originally belonged to the territory of the Volcano faction, so it was not a place where they came in carelessly.

In the political faction Murim, there was a so-called ‘accumulation of merit’, which was to increase reputation by sending one or two disciples to fight bandits or thieves.

Since the original body was implemented frequently, the damage was often seen by bandits or bandits in Sapa.

However, recently, rumors have begun to circulate that Hwasan’s achievements have decreased.

For the bandits, it was as if they were facing a major event. In the gap where public security has weakened, the opportunity has come to take care of its share.

“I don’t know if I should pay at least a piece of powder to Mt. Sohwa.”

Goo Il-sik pondered for a moment at Ho-gul’s words, which opened his mouth as wide as a hamburger.

It was already difficult because the amount of money that had to be sent to the main building of the fortress had increased. There was a need to review positively.

“Come on, sort it out. Inside the cart, take valuables and beautiful women, and kill all the men. It’s hard to come up with a back story.”

“All right!”

At Gu Il-shik’s words, as the bandits approached with brutal swords, people’s faces became contemplative.

“Get it sorted out quickly. On a day like today, you have to go back alive and drink until your nose is crooked!”

“yes! Lord Chae!”

The bandits answer Gu Il-shik’s request with excited expressions.

First of all, take care of things. Picking people up is later.

All the items in the cart fall to the floor at the hand of the excited bandits.

I didn’t need clothes, a blanket, or anything like a spoon.

While the others were rummaging through the cart, Mansanchae’s fan owner Ho-geol entered the red wagon the bride rode in and found a heavy chest and her eyes lit up.

fluff.

“and!”

A box the size of a head was filled with silver treasures and various jewelry.

“Lord Chae! Found it! I found it!”

Ho-geol, in the mood of Simmani who has found a swallow, jumps out excitedly with a chest and shouts…?

Who is it? Who is this kid?

Outside the carriage stood a handsome little boy.

the one I couldn’t see

There is no such guy in Sanchae? mark country? Or was it the one in the wedding procession?

No matter how much the children are rummaging through things, we must protect the captives. How dare you let me wander around like this.

Anyway, not careful.

What if he ran away?

“hey! Who is this little bastard…”

Sud!

Hogul was unable to speak.

Something flashed and the little guy in front of me smiled brightly at himself.

And in his hand is a bloody dagger that radiates sharp anticipation.

what happened?

Ho-gul, who blinked, realized that for some reason there was water running down his neck.

When I touched it, it was red and sticky… Blood?

dump.

Hogul’s thoughts ended there.

wagrr.

As the chest was opened, silver treasures and jewelry fell to the floor.

Hwangshin, a boy with a dagger who watched it brightly until the end, frowned.

You look like you’re going to pick them all up.

“What kind of guy are you!”

The facial expressions of the bandits became menacing when they found the emperor holding the silver treasure in the chest.

Hwangshin, who got up from picking it up and turned around, raises his dagger with a bleak look.

licking.

The faces of the bandits are distorted at the sight of them licking red daggers with their bright red tongues.

It was because the sight of him laughing brightly at the taste of blood gave me goosebumps.

baek!

“Awesome!”

In the meantime, a person suddenly appeared and hit the back of the head violently.

“This is real! I told you not to kill me. I didn’t! Didn’t I tell you not to kill and laugh at people? And lick the knife with your tongue, you bastard. The iron dog is going up, the iron dog!”

The Hwangshin, who had been stabbed in the back of the head, glared at the back with an unfair expression.

It was a natural reaction since I almost got my tongue cut off.

The man who appeared behind him was none other than the sapaecheonju Jinmu.

“Is this shit? Open your eyes!”

“….”

Jinmu lifted his chin slightly and opened his eyes, and Hwangshin quietly rolled his eyes and puffed out his cheeks.

As he continued to mumble nonstop, Jinmu, who opened both eyes, raised his fist slightly.

Then Hwangshin changed his expression in an instant and began to put the silver treasure in the box.

From the point of view of the bandits, I wondered what kind of crazy people they were.

“Have you seen these fearless children? What are they doing, interfering recklessly in our Mansanchae event!”

Gu Il-shik, angry at the death of fan owner Ho-geol, approached with a mace over his shoulder, and the rest except for the bandit guarding the captives followed.

“me?”

If you ask about your identity, isn’t it natural to answer?

Jinmu smiled brightly and answered confidently.

“bandit.”
