The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 205

Volcano at the bottom of Golden Dragon Gorge.

A place where the foam created by waterfalls falling from the top of the cliff hides the surrounding scenery like a thin fog.

Untouched nature was full everywhere because it had not been touched by humans for a long time.

Kwa-kwa-kwa!

The sound of the waterfall resounding close to a roar due to the drop made my ears deaf.

“Good.”

Jinmu, who had left the Hwasan Sect after parting ways with Myeongjin, was looking for a suitable place to practice Yang-uisimgong near Hwasan.

I didn’t feel the need to go elsewhere.

what to do

Anyway, what Jinmu needed now was time.

The floor of Geumryonghyeop that I found by chance.

It was so noisy that I couldn’t concentrate, so it was the worst place to learn martial arts.

But Jinmu rather liked that.

Because of its noise, it is a place that people will not find, and even animals cannot see it.

If you are here, you can practice Yang-Yi Heart Gong without being disturbed by anyone.

I also like the foam of the waterfall that rises enough to hide the surroundings.

don’t be busy

The desired goal was achieved.

Didn’t you run around the midfield until your feet were sweating to get the double heart ball?

Now all you have to do is take it easy and learn slowly.

“Now then, should we make a place to live in?”

yeah that’s a good idea

Wasn’t it the place where an unprecedented martial artist would be born?

Come to think of it, I thought I knew a little bit about why famous warriors made Bidong.

It felt like this.

After 80 years, I got another realization.

Some guy got a chance by falling off the cliff of Shimsanyugok and discovering the secret of a great master from the past. It is said that he found a small puddle where Gongqing oil flowed.

All of that might have been the place Jinmu was thinking of right now.

what to do just go

That great me living here.

Visited someone from ○○ Province.

Isn’t that like graffiti?

Of course, most of these places were made to give younger students a chance when they were dying.

For some reason, Jinmu thought that he should leave a plausible bidong.

Should I write something on the wall?

If I knew it would be like this, I would have learned more about the organization and the jinbeop.

After bowing down, the engine works and the martial art is revealed on the wall. Make some devices like that.

sounds fun.

After mastering the Spirit Gong, you should definitely try it.

sereung.

First of all, to make a place to live, Jinmu picked up Ilhui.

shoot! Shush!

The sword, swung lightly, smoothly cuts through the rock, creating a crypt that people can enter. I also made a rock chair to practice on.

It’s fun to do this again.

Surely the fellows aren’t digging the mines because of this feeling?

I was so enamored with it that I even carved a small piece into the rock that looked plausible.

Is proud.

I didn’t know there was a skill like this.

how much time has passed

It’s a dark place in the first place, so it’s hard to feel the sun rising and setting.

Roughly, when I’m tired, I fall asleep, when I wake up, I work… When I’m awake…

I’m doing something very important….

Growling.

i forgot i

shit!

People are not coming… no animals are coming…

there is nothing to eat. not even one.

Except for the time when I’m not going to eat it even if I give it to you. rot.

Luoyang, Henan Province.

Gujo Ancient City, where nine dynasties passed through.

It was a place where many scholars and artists who had spent time as the center of the dynasty for a long time bloomed, so it was still a place where many people visited for various purposes.

There are many famous places in Luoyang, but the first is the Longmen Grottoes, the second is the Guanrimdang, and the third is Baekma Temple.

Baekmasa Temple is the oldest temple in the central plains, and along with Shaolin of Songshan, it was a holy place of Buddhist scriptures.

Yosachae (寮舍寨) located behind the white horse. It is a place where monks whose names are listed in Buddhist texts reside.

Strangely, however, at some point in the temple of Baekmasa, not monks were seen, but women who spread magical energy.

Women who are not nuns with long hair, wearing military clothes, not Buddhist monk’s clothes.

The women, half of their faces covered with cotton, each armed with a sword, were none other than soldiers of the Sub-Bongdae belonging to the Inner Palace.

The inside of the yosachae they guard.

Inside the auditorium used for ceremonies, old monks with shaved heads stood on one side around the altar holding the Buddha statue, and on the other side, women dressed like those guarding the outside stood in a row.

And in front of the Buddha statue they are looking at, there is a woman, Palm, sitting on the Taesa Temple.

bang!

The armrest was roughly shattered by Palmer’s fist.

“What nonsense!”

She could not hide her anger at the contents of the report brought by Neung Bi-hwa.

It was a letter sent by Mu-young of Youngeun-dang.

The Dongrim battlefield was robbed three days ago, and as a result, a large-scale inspection and investigation of the officials of the West Bank began, and the officials of the provincial office were urgently dispatched.

He said it was all because of the book of injustice found in Dongrim Battlefield.

Due to the report that the party leader was invading the Dead Sea battlefield in Honam, they concentrated all their strength and cut off the tail, but why did such an accident occur in the Dongrim battlefield?

“Mongya!”

At Palmer’s call, one of the women lined up on one side quickly jumped out to the center and bowed her head.

Mong-ya, the leader of the squadron.

It was a woman who was in charge of Dongrim Battlefield.

“What were you doing while the book on account was being made!”

“That is it.”

Mongya, not knowing what to say, lowered his head and rolled his eyes eagerly.

“sorry. Please forgive me. I don’t even think that the guy who appointed him as the commander-in-chief would have made something like that…”

Fuuk!

Mongya’s excuses could not continue.

The sword pierced the back of her neck and stuck to the floor.

While the blood that flowed down the sword slowly soaked the floor, none of the people present did not change their expression.

“You look stupid…”

Palmer-kun, who had killed Mong-ya with a single gesture of his hand, spat out abusive words nervously.

“You can’t handle even such a simple thing properly.”

There is a cold chill in Palm’s eyes, who are lowly brainwashed.

“Take it away. I don’t even want to see it.”

“yes!”

There was no reply to the order.

As soon as the death was over, the soldiers of the Bunbongdae took Mong-ya’s body and went outside.

“Damn it…”

Palm’s deeply distorted brow didn’t know how to straighten.

I had to find a solution.

If the investigation had begun, it would not have ended with a single Dongrim Battlefield.

How many eyes would have turned upside down and run at the guards, given that this amount of food was thrown to those hungry stray dogs.

If the investigation expands and spreads throughout the central plains, the relationship with the government, which has been connected so far, could be distorted, and all the schemes prepared by the Naegung could collapse.

Aren’t the officials already stepping out?

The reason she swallowed the five battlefields of the central plains was to tie up the money line.

If the money line is tied, the sanggye will be hit, and this will cause a dispute over the interests between them and the Murim sects associated with them.

It was the habit of animals to kill and eat their own kind when they started to starve, not knowing if there was enough food.

The Palm Army was aiming for it.

A cause?

It is also a sound that can be talked about leisurely when full.

Even if there is a distinction between jeongpani and sappani, the habit of being a warrior cannot be abandoned anyway. It’s because they’re just a tribe wearing a sword and trembling with power with other people’s money.

If the money line is blocked, they will fight over the interest. It will eventually create a conflict, and the conflict deals a huge blow to the political alliance, which is bound by a good cause.

Then there would be no reason to fight the Jeongmu-maeng.

you will destroy yourself

And it had to be.

The power of the palace is still weak compared to the three troopers of the central plains.

Although the lord of the great archers has reached success and the lord of the small archers continues to grow, they alone cannot compete with all of the midfielders.

Noh Guk-tae’s Igung, Song Yeo-bang’s I-gung, and Jong-ryeo-gun took over the three palaces on behalf of the demoted Gwang Sang-pyeong.

The reason why they hide in the sampae and create trouble is to reduce the power of the midfielder. And when their power falls short of the power of the palace, the era of ruin that the palace has dreamed of will come.

However, after taking charge of the three palaces, the plan to reduce the power of the government was going awry from the start.

But what?

The long-awaited plan was a waste, but if he tried to undo what had already gone wrong, he could have been caught.

Due to the obstruction of the party, it was not possible to secure the funds for the Dead Sea Battlefield, but according to the report of the deceased Mong-ya, the money from the Dongrim Battlefield departed for Wonhwajeong before the investigation began.

It’s an extremely small amount compared to Donglim Battlefield, but since it’s said that it started in the other three battlefields, I have no choice but to be satisfied with that.

First of all, it shakes the upper limit.

It’s enough to cut off the tail.

Even if the government department or the political affairs league conducted an investigation, the final destination was Wonhwajeong Pavilion.

As soon as he secures the money, he erases his relationship with Won Hwa-jeong without a trace.

further investigation?

It’s something you can’t even dream of.

There was a reason they drew all eyes to Wonhwajeong.

Wonhwajeong is the same place as the imperial family.

Even the guards can’t carelessly investigate. No, you won’t be able to get it out of your mouth.

It was because doing something wrong could lead to the emperor’s wrath.

In the meantime, what is it like to be a Murim person?

“Secret fire.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Tell Youngeundang, who is currently investigating the Dongrim Battlefield. Find and kill the guy who made the fix, and cut all the lines related to us.”

“All right.”

Bunbongdaeju Neungbihwa responds politely and withdraws.

“Hwacheong!”

“yes.”

The old monk of the white horse answered the call of the palm army.

As if he had been in a high-ranking relationship for a long time, his attitude was unmatched polite.

“Secure the money coming in from the battlefield and erase all links related to us before they even hit Wonhwajeong.”

“All right.”

“good night. This concludes all meetings. There are open eyes and ears everywhere, so everyone must do their best…”

Just then, Palmyeo-kun was about to order an end meeting.

“Princess!”

Outside, the unmanned enemy soldiers of the swarm hurriedly jumped in and knelt down.

“What is it?”

“This is an additional copy of Yeoneundang.”

“…”

Palmer’s face hardened. If it is enough to intrude before the meeting is over, it means payment. And this time, it’s Youngeundang. A strong feeling of uneasiness stirred all her nerves.

Bunbongdaeju Neungbihwa quickly received the Jeonseogu.

“….”

The expression on Palm’s face changes constantly after receiving the signature.

Come on!

The face of Palme-kun, who had roughly crumpled up a copy he hadn’t finished reading, turned red in an instant.

It is because of what was written in the Jeonseo-gu.

Forty golden coffins.

The gold that secretly departed from Dongrim Battlefield disappears?

The only things Yeongeun-dang found were the bodies of the dead escorts and an empty wagon?

bang!

“this! What dogs!”

Along with the harshly spit out roar, the anger of the Palm Army turned into life and spewed out.

“Secret story!”

“yes.”

“Lead the swarm and find the forty gold coffins!

“All right!”
