The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

The wind that blew through Sangchunjeong Pavilion in

Episode 3 instead of a warm wind stopped only after Poonghwan promised several times that he would contact the selection officer.

Even if he became a freshman, Jinmu was just Jinmu. He was still half a dog, and he was stubborn and capricious, no, he was a freshman.

“You really haven’t changed at all.”

“If you change, you die.”

Seeing him sipping alcohol while muttering something that didn’t make sense, Cheongsang laughed as if he couldn’t stop it.

Sa-suk, who suddenly made it to the top of the line.

In fact, looking at my entire life, the time I haven’t been with him is much longer than the time I’ve been with him.

So I thought it would be fine, but the depth was a problem. Life without him was more empty and futile than I thought. As if the most important thing in life is missing.

The warriors of Jeongsama, who had gathered on Mt. Wudang, were scattered, and as time went by, they naturally became distant and changed to sharing news from time to time.

And soon after, the fight started again, but there was a fate to trust and entrust, so there was no need to step out. That’s how I got older. Thirty, forty, and fifty.

But the emptiness grew even bigger.

Wasn’t it the same at the funeral of Chung-woo, who went first? Although old colleagues came to visit after a long time, there were more memories with Sasook than Chungwoo in the conversations with them.

After that, other people also left the world one by one, and each time the memories disappeared…

Then one day, I suddenly looked around and there were no colleagues left to sympathize with. Just like the Qingmu investigation in the past, Sasuk was left with only a few lines of record in the history of the shaman.

It must have been from about then. to sever ties with the world.

In order to fill the empty heart, he started to face the Samgongam Tomb, where traces of Jinmu remained, and his life ended.

But I thought I would meet Sasook here. I really hadn’t even thought about it.

Besides, with the same personality as when he was young…

“Cheongsang-ah.”

“yes.”

A long time passed and everything remained as a memory, but the respect for him was still the same. Cheongsang politely responded to Jinmu’s call, whose alcohol had risen slightly.

“Are you good now?”

“yes?”

“I can change it. appearance.”

“ah! Um… don’t you like it?”

“I don’t hate it…but it’s okay. I don’t know if you want to become a mountain god.”

“A mountain god?”

“Oh, you haven’t heard of it. In the underworld…”

“Ah, that ax was exchanged for gold and silver.”

“Yeah that.”

“That…wasn’t it a fairy tale?”

“It’s a true story.”

“…”

“Isn’t there that Oknyeo Pond in the volcano?”

“Ah yes. That Yeonhwa-dong is

at the back of the courthouse…”

“Yes?”

“I heard that there was a fairy who had her clothes robbed by a woodcutter and returned with two children. It’s a pretty famous story on this floor.”

“…”

The mouth of the blue sky was bizarrely distorted. It was absurd, but it was because Jinmu’s expression was so serious that he couldn’t help but laugh.

This sasuk can’t do this. I just made up stories saying I didn’t know anything because I had just entered the top line.

Why write a fairy tale under the very title of a fairy and a woodcutter… No, no. Get your mind straight! Cheongsang!

Originally, wasn’t that guy’s sasuk’s talent for martial arts, his specialty for fraud, and his hobby for poisoning people? Therefore, it is clear that he is determined and tries to enjoy his hobby by making full use of his special skills.

“If there was such a thing, how could the helpers of the volcano not have seen it?”

“How stupid.”

“…”

“How do humans view fairies? no chin And if it were you, would you leave it open to the public while taking a bath?”

Uh… Maybe. A fairy is also a woman… no! no!

I almost forgot to be fooled again. Doesn’t it make sense? How could a mediocre woodcutter spy on something that even the helpers of the volcano couldn’t see, and even steal his clothes?

Yes, if it was back then, I would have believed it. But now I am over one hundred and sixty!

“…Then what about the woodcutter?”

“It was helped by a mountain god disguised as a deer.”

“Why did you help me with that?”

“It’s like a return for helping me stupidly being chased by a hunter. Anyway, the bastard mountain spirit who taught me how to seduce a fairy in the fairy bath, and the woodcutter who forced me to give birth… Both of them are garbage.”

“Ah… no, are you kidding me right now?”

“…”

Cheongsang asked with an awkward smile, and Jinmu, who had been staring at him, suddenly hit his head.

kong!

“This bastard! What are you kidding? I’m fresh! Did you see Shinseon lie? Do you know where the fairy bath is? There is a well where fairies draw water, man! uh!?”

“…”

You have to say something that makes sense to believe it.

But when I glanced at him without forcing myself to smile, even Punghwan Cheongmu and Seonhui nodded, reinforcing the story.

is it real? Is that story true, and there are all the fairy baths and wells?

“I know Sasook’s horse saying that the cub lived a little longer is very dog shit.”

“Oh no, it’s not like that, it’s hard to believe.”

“Do you know what one or two things are hard to believe? I didn’t even believe it at first. The celestial realm, or the celestial realm, is very different from what I thought.”

“…Yes.”

The authenticity of the absurd remarks was still unconfirmed, but it was not possible to refute or extend to Sasuk.

Even after a long time, the pain of the beating engraved on the bones has not weathered at all… Didn’t you see it in person even after coming to the world of heaven? His personality hasn’t changed at all.

“Anyway, do you plan to go to the Mountain Spirit?”

“Um…well. When I was young, I vaguely thought that I wanted to become a mountain god, but… I wonder if this is possible for me, who has just risen to the top.”

“Is it possible. There is also a lack of personnel these days, so if you apply, you will be happy. Originally, that side gives preference to applicants from the Tao side. Daewoo is also fine. It’s leisurely and leisurely… Thinking about it now, I also have thoughts about what it would have been like if I had gone that way back then.”

“What if I go?”

“I’m going on dispatch duty in the summer. ”

“To the lower world… Then you can’t see Sasuk?”

“Why can’t you see? I don’t see it.”

“Ah see?”

“Uh, maybe once in a few hundred or a few thousand years?”

“yes?”

“are you okay. Since the spirits of the mountain live during the summer time, it can be fleeting.”

“…maybe more than that.”

“uh.”

Jinmu answered insignificantly, but it was a serious problem for Cheongsang.

mountain god? It’s good. Isn’t it a name full of dreams and hopes?

However, my life was already peaceful from the middle to the second half. In other words, it was boring and boring. I wonder if the years spent with Sasook will be the most memorable?

And even though he had become a Taoist, he was fed up with Taoist ramen.

Try cultivating the Tao for one hundred and sixty years. If you polish an iron club like that, it will only become a needle, right?

“Um, is there any other way? It doesn’t matter what you look like, so I want to be with Sasook.”

“with me?”

“yes. I think it might be fun.”

“Hmm, I like it, but…”

“I really want to be with you.”

“Um…”

Jinmu, frowning at Cheongsang’s words, crossed his arms and thought deeply.

It’s Cheongsang….

It’s not bad to work with Lee Ho, a subordinate I haven’t seen in a long time.

“good! Then let’s stay together.”

“Is that true?”

“Even looking at this, Sasook Lee is the two generals of the heavens. I, who is defending the outskirts of the celestial realm under the direct control of the Jade Emperor, can’t I just put you in the Northern Defense Army?”

“Oh oh! After all, you are a private housekeeper!”

“cancer! i am your home Don’t worry. I will definitely train you and make you a general.”

“Are you going to become a celestial general?”

“Yes! Trust me!”

“Ohhhh! Sa Soo-wook! I believe! Amyo I believed in Sasuk from the time of repairs at the end of the Haegeomji!”

Cheongmu, who had been quietly watching Jinmu, who clenched his fists and shouted words, and Cheongsang, who repeatedly exclaimed and sympathized with Cheongsang, muttered to himself.

“Well, by the way, aren’t there seven generals of the Northern Seven Commandments? There won’t be a seat until someone is annihilated…”

“…”

After he has said everything, he averts his gaze again. Jinmu licked his tongue inwardly, drooling over the green radish.

Anyway, that person is a fresh old man. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, isn’t it that hard to grasp the atmosphere?

yeah that’s right Following the constellations located in the northern part of the celestial world, seven places on the wall of the room, including General Du, are fixed.

but so what? whatever? My subordinate Lee Ho Cheong-sang said he would join me!

If there are only seven digits, you can create another constellation.

If that doesn’t work… I’m going to grab Jade Emperor by the collar and ask for another seat.

“ruler! Drink! Cheongsang! Let’s eat and die today!”

“yes! Sasuk!”

Give or take

Jinmu and Cheongsang, who met again after a long time, emptied Shinseonju nonstop.

All that was left was time.

* * *

The next day, Jinmu left Sagyesan Mountain with Cheongsang.

It’s true that I just climbed the line. Just like Punghwan had done to him in the past, there were many things he could do to help.

“But where are you going?”

“Where are you? I have to go register.”

“Registration report?”

“uh.”

“…?”

When Cheongsang was puzzled, Jinmu smiled and waved his hand.

Suaaa.

Then a cloud formed in an instant in front of them and gathered together. The blue eyes widened.

“Heh heh! Goo clouds!”

A cute novice climber. Just surprised to see something like this.

Jinmu smiled and leaned against the cloud as nicely as he could.

“Hop in.”

“yes?”

“Ride. You can’t walk a road that is tens of thousands of li.”

“…a few thousand li?”

“Hey ride.”

“Ah yes.”

When Jinmu climbed the first cloud, Cheongsang carefully followed him with a half-confident expression.

“…It’s comfortable to stretch out.”

“Because it’s a cloud.”

“Ah yes.”

“You will gradually get used to it.”

“…Oh oh.”

Seeing Cheongsang touching the cloud he was on while being amazed, Jinmu laughed again.

“I’ll explain at least roughly while I’m on my way. You may know that it is a fairy world, but here it is called a heavenly world.”

“…”

Starting with those words, Jinmu carefully explained the world they live in.

Just as the world is divided into three realms, the heavenly realm is largely divided into three parts.

The first is Heaven.

These include Jamiwon and Taemiwon, where high-ranking officials who govern the heavens, including the Jade Emperor, live.

The second is mid-heaven.

Sagyesan, where those who have reached the top of the Zen line by practicing seonju, and Jeokgwang Pure Land, where those who have attained liberation live, belong to this area.

And finally, the river.

While living in the underworld, it is a place called Cheonsiwon or Paradise, where those who have been allowed to go down to heaven by the selection officer because their merits are greater than the fruit.

“Um, take it seriously. Something extremely simple…”

“Noisy and simple is best. It’s quick to understand.”

“Ah yes.”

“And in the underworld, people who live in the heaven world are roughly lumped together and called immortals, but you don’t know all of that.”

“Then isn’t it?”

“Uh, first of all, those who live in Cheonsiwon are not immortals…” Just

as the world is divided into high, middle, and low, there were positions and statuses in each world.

The position was appointed by the Jade Emperor, but the status was distinctly different. Did it depend on individual effort?

The first is the ghosts and spirits that make up the river, and the next is the Seonin (仙人) who have reached the top line or liberated with all the power on earth. It was like that with Jinmu when he was just rising to the top, and like that with Cheongsang now, and most people living in Jungcheon are like that.

And then the Sangseon (上仙). From this point on, their status and position changed markedly. To put it in the words of the underworld, is it the difference between an ordinary unmanned man and an unmanned man who has realized the realm of the river?

Just as there are few warriors in the river in the underworld, there are not many people who have reached the level of merchant ships in the celestial world. I didn’t count, but about one or three hundred? Right now, it took ten thousand years to get here.

Once you reach the level of merchant ships, it doesn’t matter which world you live in. Because most of them occupy one seat at a time.

And next to them are the Jade Emperor, who is the head of the upper tiers and who rules the sky, and those like Taesang Nogun, Yongwang Buddha, who shared power as his servants, and there are very few of them.

“Then what about Sasuk?”

“me? Of course it is a merchant ship.”

“ah!”

“Most of the people who sit here, like Changchun grain owner Cheongmu and Hanbing grain owner Punghwan, are on the merchant ship.”

“Oh, I see.”

The young man shook his head as if he understood.

“Hmmmm, but I’m the strongest.”

“yes? Is it the same level?”

“Ehei, such a state? What’s wrong with someone you know? To put it simply, it’s a river level, so there was a clear grade there.”

“It was.”

“It is the same here. He may not know how to manage life or control the weather, but he can never match me in combat skills.”

“is that so?”

“of course. Fighting is my job. Among the twenty-eight guardians of heaven, I am the best. Do you think you’re General Du?”

“As expected, Sasuk seems to have been born that way.”

“don’t worry. you will be soon too oh arrived That’s the registration office.”

“to? already? It must have been tens of thousands of miles earlier…”

“Uh, clouds are fast by nature. It’s not even the dragon horse of high-ranking officials in Sangcheon.”

“…”

Jinmu looked down at the clouds and smiled. Cheongsang nodded with a serious face.

I thought it was over when I finished first… There are so many things to learn even after finishing first. I’m so glad

I will definitely learn and learn everything perfectly, and be reborn as a good man who is not ashamed of Sasuk. Just like in the underworld!

It had been a long time since her eyes were shining and she was a promising young man.
