The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 213

Long ago there was a Taoist gate on Mount Zongnan, located in the southern part of Shaanxi Province.

In the past, it led the heyday of Taoism, but now it is called Mangdo (亡道).

It is the forward wave.

However, they were unable to adapt to the changes and react quickly, having enjoyed their success by advocating abstinence and moderation.

While living a life cut off from the world, their power gradually weakened, and as the number of disciples decreased, everyone left to find their own lives.

After Jeonjin collapsed and became empty, a munpa was established again on Mt. Jongnam.

Chong Nampa (終南派).

The man who called himself Jeon Jin’s last disciple settled down on Mount Jongnam with his subordinates and gathered disciples.

Those who tried to make enemies in Zhongnan accepted it regardless of their origin, as long as they did not practice magic, and as a result, they rapidly grew in number and seized the hegemony of southern Shaanxi.

Since then, Jong-nam, who has continued history for several generations, has grown into a part of the old school by producing countless disciples.

A school created by a disciple of Jun Jin with his name at the forefront.

However, no one said that Jong-nam was a descendant of Jeon Jin. This is because they pursued thorough secularism rather than abstinence and moderation, and valued profit rather than individual discipline.

In addition, since the opening of the school, the students did not discriminate from their origins, so as time passed, martial arts from the government gathered, and now Jongnam was lined with various martial arts, except for the prototype of Jeonjin.

* * *

The beginning of Jongnampa.

More warriors than usual were guarding the front of the mountain gate, spraying ferocious spirit.

This is because recently, a group of ‘gung’ has been appearing everywhere, and an emergency order has been issued across the entire subdivision of the Jeongmu-maeng.

After leaving Jangan, Jinmu went south and reached Jongnam Mountain.

“Stop! This place is outside of Jongnam’s territory.”

As Jinmu approaches the mountain gate, Jong-nam’s warrior, who had been hiding himself, appears.

His eyes full of vigilance are holding the handle of the sword as if to let him know that he can draw it at any time.

Swoop.

Jinmu, who already felt that they were hiding, took out the Taegeukpae he had prepared in advance.

“Call it the shaman’s Jinmu.”

“Jin… A shaman sword?”

Is it because it is so well known that it is not enough to even say that it is famous now?

As soon as he said his name, Jongnam’s soldier came up with a startled expression and checked the Taegeukpae, and about 10 more soldiers appeared around the mountain gate to see Jinmu’s face.

“this! The Shaman District Prosecutor is visiting this place. It is an honour. I am Kang Hyuk-tae, Jong-nam’s disciple.”

“….”

Jinmu answered his polite greeting and looked at the clothes of Kang Hyuk-tae and the military men of the Jong-Nam sect with sharp eyes.

Oh Kyung clearly said that his superiors were hiding in the Chong Nam faction.

This kid who will be full of inner energy.

A bastard bastard who thinks of his subordinate as a devoted partner.

You’ll be specially caught, and after sucking your inner energy, you’ll break your limbs as well as your dantian.

It’s not that I’m thinking of catching him and helping the government. I’m not sure that I’ve been unintentionally brought to you until now, but I’m dying to help you.

I just don’t like it.

Come on, show me the sign.

There should be a blue pattern… that was left on the quintessence of the Jeongso and the Five Rings…

“…”

Jinmu, who was looking at them with sharp eyes, couldn’t hide his momentary embarrassment and blinked his eyes.

“The outfit is…”

“…yes?”

“So…”

At Jinmu’s expression, Kang Hyuk-tae and his alumni tilted their heads.

I need to see the par arm.

“Jimmu Dojo?”

“…yes?”

“Do you have any problem?”

“…”

Most of the warriors of the political faction wore long sleeves, whether they were wide or narrow, so their arms were often exposed through the sleeves.

It’s rare to wear a gaiter on a tosu (吐手: toshi) like these guys….

No, damn why?

Why do you wrap your limbs tightly? What are you doing?

“Ah, the clothes are unique.”

“ah!”

Kang Hyuk-tae shows his arms and legs alternately and laughs.

“Well, it could be. It’s because of the main faction’s swordsmith.”

“…”

“I don’t know if you know it, but the main faction’s sword is based on the quick sword style, and the Gyunggong’s is based on sleeping spirits.”

Sleeping at the quick inspection ceremony.

Oh, I see. yes.

It is not for nothing that the saying that the fortune teller’s black day is the black day and the Jong-nam’s black sword is the war.

That means both are good swords.

If the main sword is a quick sword and the footwork is subtle enough to be hidden in the shadows, the lower the air resistance as much as possible, the faster the speed will be.

But it’s excellent and nabal, and that’s not the problem now.

I need to check… the blue pattern…

“Are all Jongnam’s soldiers by any chance?”

“It is natural. It hasn’t changed once in a long time. Isn’t it said that everyone starts from black pleasure?”

The more Kang Hyeok-tae proudly boasted about his master swordsmanship, the more futile his expression grew.

“Come on up. If you know that a shaman with a great reputation has come, the master of ceremonies will be very happy.”

“…is that so.”

“Oh. This time, the revolutionary achievements made in the battle against the ‘Gung’ have already spread throughout Moorim. All of the disciples of the main school adore Daehyeop.”

“…okay.”

It’s nice to admire you.

Jinmoo let out a deep sigh and followed Kang Hyuktae.

okay. let’s go up

Could it be that I have to wear it all the time?

I’m sure I’ll wear comfortable clothes when I’m resting. If I were to take a bath, I would definitely take off my clothes.

Damn, if you’re not careful, you’ll even end up taking a bath with guys you don’t even know how to do.

No, but then what about the female disciples?

ah i don’t know Let’s go upstairs and think. Climbing up…

Shaking his messy head, Jinmu moved toward the Jongnam faction.

* * *

Jeongmumaeng vanguard.

Jegal Hyeopjin was seriously thinking about the transfer of the central plains, looking at the places where battles had taken place with the forces of the palace so far.

A month-long battle that took place in all areas of the Jeongmu-maeng. The forces that had colluded with the figures of the ‘Palace’ were disorganized, and munpas in each region were chasing suspicious figures.

The information power of both fire fighting and openness showed a great light.

Investigations on the ‘gung’ were not conducted only by the Jeongmu-maeng.

Gunpowder trafficking in Danjiang District and human trafficking in the vicinity of Jingzhou.

All of them are strictly controlled by the government, and as the corruption of the officials of the Xianbu was revealed this time, Hwang Myung has launched a large-scale inspection.

In addition, by notifying that the Murim forces were involved in it, the Jegal Hyupjin even obtained the right to special investigation.

It was not possible to directly investigate officials, but belatedly, it was possible to investigate places such as Wonhwajeong and Odaejeonjang in Jungwon under the condition that they cooperate with officials.

But in vain.

It was after they had already erased all traces and disappeared as if they had evaporated.

In particular, the existence of the three palaces revealed by the prisoners of the Cheongnangdae in Sacheon and the interrogation of Dang Se-ryeong in Kunlun.

After he had already missed it once in Yangyang, the actions of a person named Gwang Sang-pyeong, the lord of the three palaces, were vague.

Opening agents searched all over the central court and even asked the government to cooperate, but no trace was found.

Just in case, I sent a letter of cooperation to investigate the Ilgung and Igung, who were said to be secretly working with the Demonic Cult and Sapaecheon, but it was beautifully rejected.

It is a natural rejection for them. Who would want to unite with the enemy forces? Do your own research.

In any case, while the forces of ‘Gung’ are being wiped out in various places, what Zhuge Hyeopjin is trying to find is the traces of the Three Palaces that have already been erased.

“The White Horse…”

The Battle of the White Horse, which became the starting point of the battle world.

According to Yang So-bang’s investigation, there were definitely traces of the palace there, but only the white horse’s middlemen were captured after the battle.

In the meantime, the suicide of Hwacheong, the head of the White Horse, who may have been directly involved, became a clue that could not be pursued anymore because his tail was cut off. It’s lost in the labyrinth again.

Jegal Hyeopjin looked a little further back in the direction of the incident.

The person at the end point.

Jinmu. A truly pitiful person.

When I first saw it, I thought it was just a warrior with great potential comparable to the Sword Master.

But what he did was terrifying.

As a result of his secret investigation, what he was looking for was the beginning of the Sheep Mind Gong that the shaman had sealed away.

In the process, it strangely collided with the forces of the palace and provided great clues each time.

As if he voluntarily went to catch the palace.

“It’s not some kind of human magnetite…”

Jegal Hyupjin laughed and organized his thoughts again.

“How did Jinmu Dojang know about Dongrimjeonjang and Wonhwajeong?”

A tail-biting question.

If you’re lucky, you’re lucky.

Coincidentally, that luck seemed to work only for him.

Sometimes there are sellers like that.

Money falls where you fall forward, and even if you fall backwards, your head lands on a soft cushion instead of breaking your head.

It will never be what you intended. No matter how much you dig into Jinmu’s actions, it was nothing more than an overlapping coincidence.

Like the main character in the words of the plum blossoms who sell the story to the author.

In any case, thanks to that, the orbiting system that Zhuge Hui-jin was preparing was able to exert a tremendous effect, like pouring oil into a fire.

I wished that it would have been more coincidental that it had happened like this…

But Jinmu’s journey, like a ghost, searching for the traces of the palace that he could not easily catch even after several years of effort, disappeared after the volcano.

How sorry.

I sent a letter to Myung-jin, who said he met there, and asked, but the answer came back saying he didn’t know.

How good is it to ask a question?

No, the disciples are wandering around the midfield, but they are great people with good speed.

Aren’t you worried?

It’s frustrating.

In any case, if the shaman’s actions were revealed to all the munpas, including the opening, he even gave an order to send a preamble immediately, so it was something to wait for.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Jegal Hyeopjin let out a deep sigh as he felt that something was going to be solved, but his head was filled with fog.

“Isn’t that how you hang on? I never thought I would lean on a person like this.”

Since he had always believed that the truth of all strategies and tactics were in books, he had no choice but to laugh in front of the big variable called Jinmu.

“No. Surely there will be clues. The place where they appeared The forces that were subsumed by them. And if you put together all the clues Biheun has been investigating, you will surely be able to reach their base.”

Jegal Hyeopjin brushes off his worries and focuses on evangelism in the midfield.

Click.

The door is open.

“Great Commander.”

It was Yangcheong, a military commander in the advance guard who was in charge of delivering messengers within the Jeongmu-maeng and providing combat support.

“What are you doing?”

“Jeon Seo-gu came from Jong-nam.”

“At Jongnam?”

Jegal Hyeopjin narrows his eyes and accepts the electronic book in Yangcheong’s hand.

“Oh!”

As soon as he opened it, the name caught his eye and Jegal Hyeopjin jumped up from his seat.

Shameless sword Jinmu.

He appeared in Jongnam?

I heard that Myeong-jin had already delivered the Spirit Gong of Yang-ui?

Why did it appear in a place in Gupa again?

Jegal Hyeopjin felt a strange sense of anticipation at his unexpected actions.

Suddenly, my heart started pounding and my head started spinning rapidly.

“Yangcheon!”

“yes!”

“Tell this to Biheun immediately!”

“…There is a shaman prosecutor in Jongnam?”

“no!”

In response to Yangcheon’s question, Jegal Hyeopjin said with the corner of his mouth rising as if tearing.

“Something happened in Jongnam.”

“…”

“Tell Biheun that he has to go to Jongnampa himself. Also, tell the clans near Jongnam to secretly gather at Jongnam Mountain immediately! This is enforced by the order of the Grand Commander of the Jeongmu-maeng, or the Maenglord.”

“Should I tell Jong-nam too?”

“…”

Yangcheon trembled at the gaze that glared at him as if he were going to eat him.

Such a murderous expression of a great soldier who was always cold and calm.

“Are you crazy? Don’t you know the secret?”

“…”

“Exclude Jong-nam. Got it?”

“yes!”

Yangchun replied with a frightened expression and ran outside.

“Hehehe.”

The idea that Jegal Hyupjin always had.

Truth is a book….

Truth….

What is it?

Life is luck luck!
