The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 8

Even though Jinmu was staring at him with thin eyes, Jade Emperor’s expression did not change.

“Don’t you like it? then you can’t If you have nothing more to say, go back.”

“Oh no! wait! Who do you hate? Shouldn’t you give me time to think about it?”

“Your heart is full of doubts…”

“….”

Damn the Jade Emperor.

It reads my mind naturally, so I can’t carelessly say or think.

“It’s Jinmu.”

“yes?”

“Don’t swear.”

“…you didn’t say it out of your mouth. I was just thinking, just thinking.”

“Don’t even think about it. I feel bad for cursing at you. For some reason, I feel like I’m being beaten up for burying a dog with poop on it.”

“Sheesh!”

Jinmu pursed his lips.

“Hey again!”

“…”

When the Jade Emperor threatened with a wooden stick, Jinmu shook his head with a sting.

It’s a surprise. Where did the sore throat suddenly appear again?

“first! I’ll listen to your request first.”

“what?”

“I need to know something so I can give permission or not, don’t I?”

“Hoo? Would you like to bargain with me?”

The Jade Emperor laughed and put his elbows on his knees and rested his chin on his clasped hands.

“Is it possible to bargain? In front of the Almighty, who knows all about what I am thinking?”

“…Then what are those unfocused eyes?”

“….”

“You must be a kid trying not to have any thoughts?”

“Can it be? Ohhap.”

While shaking his head and answering curtly, Jinmu worked hard to clear his mind.

“Kuk!”

“…”

“Kha-ha-ha!”

The appearance of the outside and the inside doing their best to play separately must have been quite funny.

“You guys are really funny. Genji, who is the size of a merchant ship, has the same habits as humans in the underworld.”

“It’s common for each other.”

“Hey man, I’m tailoring it for you.”

“Then do you keep doing that?”

“…”

Jinmu was caught up in it, thinking that there was nothing good about it and tried hard, but there was no way that the Jade Emperor could not read the meanness in his head.

Hana Jade Emperor decided to match the rhythm to Jinmu.

It’s a pleasure to feel after a long time, so let’s be a little generous.

“He doesn’t carelessly show his hand even in gambling, but I’ll show my hand first, especially this time.”

“…”

At the words of the Jade Emperor, Jinmu swallowed dry saliva.

“There was a guy named Zhu Rong.”

“Congratulations? Oh, that fire god?”

“It was God.”

“….”

“He was born from a fire that always emitted fierce flames as the energy of the underworld was concentrated. So at that time, my mother and I joined forces to suppress that power.”

“Before the couple fight?”

“huh? What do you mean?”

“…Oh no.”

“…”

Come to think of it, it could have been a shame. Jinmu immediately pretended not to know and pretended not to know.

How could the Jade Emperor fail to read the thoughts he had already had in his head? The face of the Jade Emperor, who was looking at Jinmu carefully, turned red at once.

“What are these crazy people doing? I had an affair and a couple fight, and because of that, the heaven and the earth are at odds?”

“…”

As the Jade Emperor shouted, in an instant, the heavens of the Heavenly Palace were twisted and thunder and lightning flashed along with thunder.

Damn, I got an idea.

“I guess it wasn’t?”

“Of course not!”

“…”

“How can you see me who has followed the will of the beginning!”

“It’s not that I did it, it’s just a rumor…”

“How can these guys named Heo Seon-in peel pumpkin seeds from behind like the humans in the underworld… Ugh, it’s going well like the heavens. It’s going well.”

“It was just one of many hypotheses.”

“Shut up, you bastard!”

“…”

Seeing the road running, it seems that the story he knew was a rumor.

Well, then, why did the heavenly world and the earthly world come to be divided?

The question came up again, but if I asked now, it seemed like something serious would happen to my life. Jinmu laughed awkwardly and turned around.

“Calm down and keep explaining.”

“Whoa, are you coming?”

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and continued talking.

“Anyway, during the celebration, I stole most of what I had and scattered it all over the world.”

“…”

“But Zukyong was too strong. So, after it was destroyed, the remnants remained.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“Like rumors at the time, it wasn’t because of a marital quarrel, but because we didn’t get along before me!”

“…”

You’re a little narrower than I thought. I keep that in mind…

“It’s not narrow.”

“I’m guilty.”

“Anyway, the heavens and the earth, or me and the gwimo, clashed several times to occupy the remnants.”

“Ah, then by any chance the couple had a fight then?”

“Shut up? Do you keep straining your fists?”

“I’m guilty.”

In response to the direct threat from the Jade Emperor, Jinmu stopped acting relentlessly and apologized once again.

“Realizing that the continued fighting was a useless war of attrition, we eventually signed a peace agreement and decided to look at the remnants of the conquest rather than the two sides, but the human world. until it dissipates naturally.”

“….”

“Perhaps you have already met, so you know.”

“see you? me?”

Jinmu tilted his head.

When did he meet the remnant of a god that even his mother and the Jade Emperor feared?

“Otherwise, when did I find someone like that?”

“It’s not that kind of person, it’s a bastard.”

“A bastard?”

“okay.”

“…”

“It was a long time ago, so you don’t remember?”

“That’s…”

“When you were in the underworld, he had the name Blue Flame.”

“…blue salt?”

“okay.”

“…ah!”

I remembered. The sacred flame of the Demonic Cult.

That was… God’s Remnant? The miscellaneous fire that occupied Bukri Docheon’s body?

Jinmu blinked his eyes and asked, and Jade Emperor nodded.

“The blue flame you remember has lost its memory from when it was Zhuk Rong. It just wandered around the underworld in various forms without being destroyed. Then, under the influence of the five desires and seven emotions of humans, it began to change little by little. And in a place called Demonic Bridge, I met a guy named Bukri Docheon, who was born with fire energy, and took over his body.”

“…”

“Do you remember? Did you almost die then?”

“Ah then!”

“Yes, but as I said, there was no way to do anything about it because we had signed a peace agreement. Because if I went out recklessly, there would have been another war with Jigye.” When I heard the words

“…”,

my memory gradually became clearer. Didn’t the Sangdanjeon be held after suddenly realizing the essence of Taegeuk and Mukryonghonwongong while fighting with the jabbul bastard who occupied Bukridocheon’s body at the time?

Then what did you see…?

“Wasn’t it a dream?”

“of course. Actually, I watched that fight too. Your mother must have been watching carefully.”

“….”

“But you were sweating so much because you suddenly realized the key to Taegeuk and wanted to finish the top line.”

The Jade Emperor shook his head as if he was breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

“If you hadn’t refused to take the top line by displaying tremendous mental strength at that time, the lower world would have been in an uproar because of the blue flame who gained a body.”

“…”

“Anyway, I thought it was over then. I thought you destroyed it.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Yeah, I just found out. I feel that the blue flame’s power is weak in the realm. But it soon disappeared. It must have been the moment when it was about to disappear, but the ghost mother took a hand.”

“yes?”

“It looks like he was taken to the ground world.”

“…why?”

“It must be to awaken.”

“yes?!”

“Of course not all. If you wake up with Zingyong, you won’t be able to control your hair.”

“…”

“But what I want to know is why your mother took him by violating the peace treaty.”

Jinmu, who was staring blankly at the grave Jade Emperor, asked in case of doubt.

“By the way. Could it be… that you’re asking me to do something?”

“Check it out.”

“…What?”

“Is it true that the Blue Flames are in the real world?”

“….”

I missed the opportunity to answer

by taking it for granted.

“…Are you going to start a war?”

“It will depend on what your mother is decorating.”

Jinmu felt his head go blank and stared at the Jade Emperor.

War? yes if need be

But the important thing is why did you choose yourself?

“hey? Jade Emperor?”

“why?”

“So you’re not telling me to go on that dangerous mission, are you?”

“Aren’t you planning to go anyway? To erase Myeong-jin and Chung-wu’s achievements from Ji-gye’s records.”

“…”

What a pair! Is it the same as that one?

“same.”

“Don’t read on your own!”

“huh?”

“yes?”

“What?”

“Oh sorry. I didn’t know that the thought came out of my mouth… it’s not! Hey! Isn’t this?”

“Is it the same? It just adds to the mission.”

“Isn’t the noble mother a being with the same power as the Jade Emperor?”

“uh.”

“…Huh, you really have a cool answer.”

“Because there is no need to worry.”

The Jade Emperor nodded his head with a nonchalant face. Jinmu’s face twisted.

How can you be anxious…

No, but wait a minute, if it’s that important, shouldn’t you do it yourself? Isn’t it just a matter of going to war and taking away the blue flame!

“no.”

“why!”

“If I go out, will your mother stay still? War will come soon. Anyway, what if I felt wrong?”

“Are you making mistakes?”

“God’s mistake. haven’t you heard? Nothing is perfect in this world.”

“It’s an admission I don’t want to hear.”

“…”

“But can I go to the boundary without being caught by your mother?”

“okay.”

“yes? Is it possible?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“Okay?”

As if asking why he was asking such an obvious thing, Jade Emperor gave a blunt reply, looking at Jinmu, who lightly clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, what was the reason you were able to make it to the top line?”

“Taegeuk?”

“That’s right, Taegeuk. Because of that, Geji has the unique power of having both yin and yang at the same time. And what was the reason you came to heaven and became General Du?”

“…was there a reason?”

“There is no effect without a cancer cause. It is because you were chosen by Hyeonmu, a divine being with the power of yin and yang, that you chose the Seven Numbers of the North and rose to the rank of General Du, rather than being a mountain god.”

Jinmu’s mouth opened slightly.

“Is that so?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“Of course…”

“Well, how do all the seeds I planted bloom properly? Most of them were those who could not climb even if they were chosen. I didn’t expect you to come this far either.”

“…”

“I don’t know if you’re still at the level of a merchant ship, but when you grow up like this and your divine power rises to the upper level, the power of the hyeonmu will be manifested. Only then will you become one of the four gods.”

“…”

“I have to say it now, but that was your destiny from the beginning. You learned the Mukryonghonwongong, the shaman’s Seongi, the Yanguisimgong that combines those two powers, and even the fact that your name is Jinmu.”

“yes? Why?”

“Jinmu is the name of Hyeoncheon Sangje in the original city, and is also another name for Hyeonmu. It possesses the power of both yin and yang at the same time… so it is the only deity that can enter the realm without being discovered.”

“Ah…”

Jinmu nodded blankly and then asked as if he had just remembered.

“What is good, good. But why do you want to check it now? that important thing.”

“Because I know you’ve grown enough to withstand my power.”

“Ten thousand years later?”

“Are you going to put me on the yardstick of time, as the previous Jade Emperors did?”

“….”

…somehow, 10,000 years ago was described as ‘not long ago’.

I wish I could live forever, you idiot!

“Ugh! Swearing…”

“It’s a sin. Stop because I envy you living so long.”

Jade Emperor glared at Jinmu’s quick apology and said with a smile.

“Where is that going to live on my own? that is my destiny So, think that you are just going to sell it.”

You’re talking like a seller!

So what you’re saying is that this is my destiny. It was decided that way from the days of Jinmu or Revolutionary War.

Somehow… It’s like playing in the hands of fate.

“It is not. Not everyone walks the same path because they are born with destiny. The goal was reached because there was a choice and it was accompanied by hard work.”

“….”

Jinmu opened his eyes sullenly at Jade Emperor, who naturally responded to the voice of his heart.

“You keep reading other people’s minds… Would you like to just talk to yourself?”

“Hehe, that’s also not what I want.”

“I’m sick…”

Jinmu, who had been thinking for a while, asked in a weak voice.

“What if I refuse?”

“Cheong-wu is reincarnated as a pig, and Myeong-jin… let’s see, should we go for a fly?”

“Can you decide on your own?”

“Who do you think I am?”

“….”

The King of Heaven.

Damn… that’s how strong it must be.

Regardless, what should I do? If she refuses, Master may become a real fly.

Jinmu, who had been thinking and thinking for a long time, finally had a strange determination on his face, and Jade Emperor smiled.

“Good idea.”

“….”

Please let me speak with my mouth Huh?

Anyway, the answer was obvious. Jinmu, who squinted his eyes, spoke while revealing his fangs.

“What a fuck! Do you die once or die twice? Great! Let’s try it!”
