The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 33

Pak Pi-ok is an island in the center of a salt lake.

However, it is not a fixed island rooted in one place, but a floating island that flows along with the flow of salt water.

So, except for a few, few people knew exactly where it was.

In fact, none of the people living there wonder about Park Pi-ok’s location.

It’s been a long time since those who can go outside are fixed, and the same daily life is repeated, so the feeling of curiosity has long since disappeared.

Gwi Yukjang, the manager of the Haehyeongjang located in the coastal part of Park Pi-ok, which touches the saltwater lake, has also been repeating that grueling routine for hundreds of years.

The last punishment that the dead of Park Pi-ok receive.

Literally, the shell is peeled off and soaked in a saline lake to become salted fish.

While struggling with the pain of salt digging into his wounds, he dies after being eaten by a fish that lives on the coast of Bakpiok.

Of course, death is not the end.

Without complete extinction, they are resurrected in a designated place and repeat the punishment from the beginning, repenting for the sins of disloyalty and disloyalty committed in the underworld. It is the daily life of the dead that repeats forever.

Also, the cold fish that ate the empty flesh cannot be full.

With the disappearance of the dead, the flesh in the belly disappears in vain, so the fish always suffer from hunger, and naturally, when the dead enter the water at the fishing ground, they rush like crazy. That’s the daily life of cool people.

It is a daily routine for the monsters at the Haejangjang to immerse the dead whose shells have been peeled off into the salt water lake one by one, and the general manager, Yukjang, watches them with a solemn expression.

Everyday life repeats itself the same way….

“…Huh?”

However, there has been a change in that monotonous daily life.

Chow ah ah ah ah ah.

“….”

The sound of rowing through the water.

It was difficult to see due to the thick fog, but at the unfamiliar sound, everyone at the shipyard as well as the fisherman stopped and turned their heads.

“Garion?”

If anyone is crossing the salt lake, there is only one.

But why?

Isn’t the Haejangjang the port where the dead are handed over?

It was a very unusual event that Garion’s ship, always heading to the same place, went off course.

“It is a rare thing. Did Garion get lost?”

The chief tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

Garion’s deviation from the course was an issue that had to be reported first, but questions and curiosity were greater.

Aww.

While the chief was in trouble, soon Garion’s ship broke through the fog and appeared at the hangar.

It seems that the yo and monsters at the sea corps were just as puzzled as the yuk jang, so they stopped the sea punishment they were inflicting on the dead and blankly looked at Garion’s ship anchored in the coast.

By the way…

Seeing the ship that appeared, the meat manager had a bigger question than before. The line was empty.

It should have just arrived at the outskirts of Bakpiok,

and a disembodied spirit should be riding on it. One large one, one small one, and one strangely pitiful-looking one behind them. Except for Garion who held the oars, there were a total of four.

What is it? Those who are not spirits, but have forms…

I tried to focus my eyes on them, but they are not familiar faces. They were first-timers.

However, the boat stops and Garion, who has set the oars, speaks very politely to the man standing on the bow.

Garion stretched out his finger as if explaining something and spoke for a while, and a deep smile appeared on the lips of the guy at the bow.

What is it?

Numerous question marks filled Yukjang’s head.

Garion He is not an ordinary boatman.

A person who waits for his mother’s command.

He received the recommendation of Abi-okju and was forgiven of his sins, and he became an example of all ghosts waiting for the day to go to heaven while staying as a boatman Park Pi-ok.

It’s never easy.

Being forgiven of one’s sins in the karma was one of the few things that could be done on one’s hand for thousands of years, and Garion was an idol of the demons who accomplished that difficult task.

Yukjang also tried to make friends with him several times. To hear the way he was able to go to heaven, at least as a gift…

Do you know anything else? With his help, he will leave this boring daily life and head to the heavens.

Anyway, if he came to find himself out of the designated route…

The head of the house suddenly widened his eyes at the thought.

“Ser, could it be that my intellect worked?”

Maybe.

It is clear that his utmost sincerity was not Gamcheon, but Gamion. If that’s not the case, isn’t there any reason for him to come to the hangar out of the blue?

When I thought about it, everything started to make sense.

That polite look of Garion seen by the person on the boat. If he’s like that, he’s definitely not a normal person.

an extremely high being. What if you have never seen a face in Park Pi-ok?

“Are you your mother’s messenger?”

It’s a story with plenty of potential.

What if Garion was allowed to enter the celestial realm? So, what if the messenger who would convey the permission of the mother came to inform Park Pi-ok-ju?

On the way, I stopped at the Haejongjang for a while. In order to teach oneself the way to heaven…!

“Oh no! It’s not the time for me to be like this. How could I sit and greet those high-ranking people? What might be the best opportunity in your life!”

The head of the meat shop, who suddenly came to his senses, got up without even having time to change his clothes and hurriedly prepared to greet the precious guest.

However, when Garion finished speaking and stepped back, the lion nodded and raised his fingers vigorously, revealing his well-aligned teeth.

And the shape of that mouth is obvious

…

In the eyes of the chief, who stood up and stopped hesitantly, he could see the big guy, the little guy, and the poor guy behind them stepping on the boat and throwing themselves into the air.

“Reach out!”

Wow!

A big guy who shoots red flashes from his outstretched hand and pierces the monsters in the hangar.

“Geukkeu, this is the taste!”

Squeak!

The little guy jumped into the cracks in the prison yard before he knew it and brandished the daggers in both hands.

“Aww! I will kill them all!”

The pitiful looking guy who took out his hideous iron flail and broke the heads of moaning monsters in the place where the big one and the small one passed by.

only three.

After the red flash pierced through, the twin daggers created a whirlwind, followed by flails swinging, and the searing field quickly turned into a battleground for fighting.

Later, Yo and the monsters blocked him, but he didn’t have the talent to defeat the three.

The head of the meat farm, dumbfounded as to what had happened, just blinked his eyes.

why? why? For what?

“Ah!”

“Queeek!”

“…”

The screams that filled the burial grounds made the chief come to his senses and get up.

I couldn’t look any longer.

It was not yet clear why he came here, but it was clear that if left unattended, the prison would become a mess.

Whether Garion came to tell me how to get to the heavens or whether the people who came with me were messengers of the noble mother… That’s it, and this is this. How can I let go of those who mess up my territory?

“These motherfuckers! Can’t you stop!”

The energetic Yukjang immediately took out his magic tool, the Jiong (磁甕), and threw himself.

Wedge love!

“…jar?”

The big bastard, Cheongsang, who was the first to jump into the slaughterhouse and sprinkled red light on it, narrowed his eyes when he saw the meat jang.

According to Garion or Baek-pyo’s explanation, he is the chief in charge of the hangar. And from the beginning, the goal of the three, including Cheongsang, was to clear up the enemies at the harbour.

Still, since he was a chieftain, he could have asked Jinmu to punish him, but…

Sasuk didn’t mention anyone but George.

“okay! It can’t be left to Sasuk forever!”

It’s not Park Pi-okju, it’s just the gwi who manages the hangar under him. You have to take care of that tidy yourself.

“god!”

“…?”

“Leave your back!”

I’m thinking of fighting the Chief of the Haejangjang.

Hwangshin, who had been separating the bodies of Yo and the monsters, who rushed at the cry of the blue sky, glanced at the yukjang and realized his intention at once.

He himself was thinking the same thing as Cheongsang. That I can’t stay behind Jinmu forever.

However, it was still a crowd. Although they say they have regained their strength, how can they not know that they are not perfect and that they are not as good as the blue sky?

Didn’t you see clearly how he blocked Hyeobbi’s sword woo?

Hani has no choice but to take the back for now…

“Chit! I get it. If you make me feel embarrassed by one of these guys, I will definitely rip out its jaws!”

“me! Trust me!”

“….”

Hwangsin grumbled with twisted lips as he watched the blue statue fly towards the meat farm while grinning.

Where can I imitate Gaecheonju?

Who do you believe?

I’m just leaving the front seat for a while. Only until I get stronger.

That’s what a running game is all about. Right now, even if you are chasing after the blue statue because it is fast, you have to run all the way to know who will cross the finish line first.

In the lower world and at this moment, the blue statue is said to be stronger, but it will surely surpass it. No matter what anyone says, he is the personal escort of the founding father.

Kwak.

The emperor, who was determined, grabbed the dagger in both hands.

“This life!”

“Huh?”

Lee Saeng, who had been swinging his flail with all his might, looked at him with a tired look.

“Faster than anyone else! Fight more savagely than anyone else! Do your best!”

Paaang!

Lee Saeng let out a sigh as he saw the Hwangshin screaming and starting to rampage more ferociously than before.

who doesn’t know that?

death power? I’m already working on that. Will you have more strength if you promise to say it? That’s only possible for monsters like you.

Damn, I just followed the idea of living as Dosanok’s devil’s ear…

“Aaaaaaaaa! die! You bastards!”

But there was no room for regret. Because of the enemies flocking incessantly, I had to go to Hoecheon again, so I had no choice but to move faster and stronger without Hwangshin saying anything.

In the meantime, Cheongsang, who left behind, focused entirely on Yukjang.

[Stretch out! Self-killing!]

Shuaaaaaa! Kwaaang!

“Keuuugh!”

The whirlpool of shockwaves created by the collision of the six-headed Jaong and the blue-headed caterpillar spread out in all directions.

“Hmm.”

Watching them from the far side of the boat, Jinmu smiled happily.

Before arriving here, Jinmu asked Baek-pyo for a place that could serve as a bridgehead for Park Pi-ok’s occupation.

Among the places far away from the center of Bak Pi-ok, the place guarded by the most skilled ear.

That place was the hangar.

From what I heard, Yukjang was said to be a talented person who could be compared to Baekpyo.

Actually, there was no need to make such a fuss. According to my temper, it was enough to break through and fight with Park Pi-okju.

That way is the fastest and most effective for your training. What’s the use of bullying the weak?

However, since he decided to fight the whole world, he should not be strong alone. Cheongsangdo, Hwangsindo, and Yisaengdo… We must become strong together.

Cheongsang, who came to the upper world as soon as he ascended, lacks experience.

The realm achieved in the underworld is not low, but the fight in the celestial world and the terrestrial world are completely different aspects. Because there are not one or two people who use unheard of tricks.

Also, although Hwangshin has regained his power, he is unable to fully use it.

If you are sure that your mother is going to watch over you, thoroughly use that time as an opportunity for training.

The actual experience at the risk of one’s life is the best training method to improve one’s skills. One by one, they fight against the strong and become stronger.

And it is to fight with the noble mother who is said to be at the top of the world.

Seeing Jinmu cross his arms and look at the battlefield, Baekpyo murmured with a firm expression.

“Hmm, it’s not good to push that way…”

“Huh?”

“It’s the six-headed horse that fights with the Cheongsang Dosa.”

“…why is he?”

“I’m not particularly picky.”

“Are you picky?”

“That’s right. It’s just Heo Heo Sil’s trick that makes his personality look a bit light. Everyone is going to be wary of him. But his real skills are comparable to mine. Especially his magic tools…”

“So.”

Baek-pyo’s worry-filled words were even finished before Jinmu cut them off and glared at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Are you saying that the blue statue will lose?”

“Ah, that’s not what I mean…”

What does it mean?

This is what it’s like to be a crayfish after becoming a jerk? In front of whom do you rate Yukjang more highly?

Looking at it, I was a little annoyed.

Since when did Ji have a position to cross arms with me from behind?

“One hundred marks.”

“Yes Eun-gong.”

“What are you doing?”

“yes?”

“Are you going to keep watching like that?”

“…yes? They told me separately that it was a fight for their training…”

“So?”

“I don’t really need training, do I?”

“Oh, is it? Then, how long will it take to confirm that training is not necessary? myself?”

Baekpyo trembled in surprise at the corner of Jinmu’s eyes that went up all the way.

“When you say good things.”

“…!?”

The fangs that slowly appeared along with the low voice was the decisive blow. Surprised, Baek-pyo immediately pulled out a cleaver and threw himself toward the battlefield.

“I’m going. I was going to go, yes!”

“…”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” These bastards! I’ll peel off all the shells!”

Jinmu clicked his tongue and shook his head at the sight of Baekpyo jumping into the battlefield shouting exaggeratedly.

Jjasik will do that a long time ago.

What is our Cheongsang like, how do you compare it to a guy like that yukjang?

This is the kind of guy who will stand shoulder to shoulder with the owner of the broiler chicken in the future!
