The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 61 The Jade

Emperor’s dwelling place is called Shangcheongung.

It is a place where you can look down on the whole world from the sky above the sky, but it is embarrassingly small and simple to be called a palace.

All that exists is a secluded flat with two trees and a garden where Jade Emperor leans against, so who would think this place is a palace?

Of course, not everything is visible.

Sometimes it’s so big that you can’t see the end, and it becomes a space where everyone in the heavens can stay, and sometimes it rejects the desire to climb so high.

The space itself depends on the heart of the Jade Emperor and can grow and shrink as much as desired, so its size is not defined by anything and is infinite.

However, Pogung, the residence of your mother, was different. Should I say that it makes me feel infinite in a different sense?

“…it’s wide.”

Other than that, there was nothing else to say.

A plain stretched out without high or low.

The only thing that came into sight was a straight horizon that touched the sky without knowing where the end was. Does it look like something with the sky turned upside down on the ground?

“Awesome. I thought there would be something grandiose again because it was said to be the palace where my mother lives….”

There were no steeple towers or magnificent buildings that seemed to pierce the sky.

Just a vast plain. That was all of the womb that could be seen in Jinmu’s eyes.

“welcome.”

“…?”

Jinmu blinked his eyes at the sudden voice.

what?

Since when…

I took my gaze fixed on the horizon, and a man caught my eye.

A handsome man with a slim body.

The long top that came down to her knees was left unbuttoned, but her slim upper body, which was well-muscled, and her black hair, which occasionally brushed around her shoulders, were in strange harmony with the disheveled outfit.

If it weren’t for the black eyes and no whites, he would have been mistaken for a human.

“Soonjo-nim, long time no see.”

“Ah, Mr. Uyung and Mr. Honcheon.”

Sunjo looked at Jinmu at Bukri Docheon’s polite greeting and smiled.

It was a magical feeling.

It was not a person, but a very handsome young man, but it was strangely annoying.

Jinmu frowned and swallowed dry saliva.

The downy hair stands up.

Instinct warns.

He’s a dangerous guy…

“He’s a law guard.”

“Protection…?”

“Should I say that you are the strongest person under your mother?”

“what?”

Jinmu was a bit surprised at Bukri Docheon’s indifferent comment.

The strongest under the ears? Then, than Bukri Docheon, who is said to be the strongest among the six demon kings?

“Don’t believe it. My power is only confined to the womb. It is a fact known to everyone in the realm that Wuyung is the strongest under your mother.”

“…”

“Let me formally greet you. I am Sunjo, the guardian of the palace guard who protects the mother-in-law. You can easily regard it as a guardian spirit.”

“It’s Jinmu.”

Jinmu murmured as if he was bewitched by the flowing introduction.

“You are Jinmu. You are the two generals of the heavens, aren’t you?”

“…yes.”

“You are different from the person I knew.”

“…”

“I met you a long time ago. The person from before was…”

It was enough without having to listen to the gossip.

The two generals of the heaven world, the guardian spirits of the earth’s palace.

If the two of them had met, there would be no way they would have greeted each other and shook hands.

Some died and some lived.

Since Sunjo is alive and remembers that time… The Du General he saw before must be dead.

“Anyway, I thought it would be nice if it felt familiar, so I prepared it in a male body. How is it? If you want, you can change it to a female body, or the shape of Sangun, which is sacred in the heavens, is fine.”

With a smile as if Sunjo had painted it, he asked Jinmu’s doctor.

Seeing that it can be male, female, or even a beast, it seems that it has the ability to change its appearance as it pleases.

“It’s the way it looks… I don’t care too much.”

“is that so? thank god. I was worried that your mother would upset the feelings of the guests she invited herself.”

He smiled softly the whole time, but Jinmu felt an unbearable stuffiness.

Every time his eyes shone with his smile, his heart sank. It was like the eyes of a ghost that seemed to possess people regardless of gender.

Damn it…. To think that the good man is confused by the demon of the realm.

If you do, what about the rest of you?

Jinmu sighed as he looked back at his companions, who were so stiff that they couldn’t even breathe properly. That’s why I told you to just use the ghost house and go back…

“I just wanted to make sure that the buildings, lives, and things that exist in the womb were removed in advance.”

“Clean up?”

Jinmu tilted his head and looked at the vast land again.

“Well, the building was destroyed for a while to prevent regeneration, and the creatures that filled the womb…”

Seuk.

Sunjo raised his hand and pretended to slit his throat.

Did you mean to clean it up?

Soonjo smiled again at Jinmu, who was surprised.

“Because that way is faster than moving.”

“…”

“I just need to change the place of resurrection.”

This guy… is this normal?

Or is it because he’s a devil, so there’s not even a hint of emotional agitation in what he says?

How can you say that you killed him casually like that?

Besides, he didn’t say how many people he killed, but if it was filling a vast territory…

thousands? tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands?

No, there will be too many to count. Because the land of Pogung is so vast that it is incomparably larger than Do San-ok or Park Pi-ok, or even the combination of the two.

The question, “Are you a crazy bastard?”, was raised to the throat, but Jinmu didn’t respond. no i couldn’t

Aside from the difference in power, they were intimidated by Sunjo’s strange presence.

“Don’t look at me with such strange eyes. I just did it because it seemed like it would be better.”

“Is that so?”

Unknowingly, he stuttered, but Jinmu’s face turned slightly red.

Damn, when was the last time you stuttered at a specific person?

“Recently, your mother has been angry a lot. Each time, the damage wasn’t the only one. Breaking, breaking, dying. It’s a frequent occurrence, but screams everywhere… uh, what are you talking about?”

“…”

“The two of them were the ones who ordered the Demon King and brought them, so I just wrote my hand in advance. It must be a serious matter, and the deeper the story, the better it is to do it in a quiet place.”

Now this talkative guy’s smile was even disgusting.

It was as if a terrifying monster hidden inside a beautiful shell was glaring at him.

“As I said, I am the guardian spirit of the womb.”

“….”

“I don’t need to warn you, but it’s my responsibility and the value of my existence to protect the mother-in-law and her womb….” “…

. ”

Please keep in mind that if you do, you will not be treated as a guest.”

laughed again and again

But this time, unlike before, I didn’t think it was magical or gross.

It seemed to be cut for an instant.

It was not a metaphor, but it literally felt like my body had been torn into tens of thousands of pieces with my eyes open.

Goosebumps all over my body, probably because my blood had cooled down, and the downy hair stood up all over, making the hem of my clothes tingle.

Guardian spirit order.

Finally, Bukri Docheon’s words were understood.

A being stronger than the Demon King.

He humbled himself that he was limited to the womb, but in other words, it meant that he was not defeated by anyone in the womb.

Even if he did not inflate his size with his subordinates, he felt more pressure than that.

Damn it….

Not enough ears, even two demon kings in good order.

Even if you get caught in a tiger’s den, you just have to stay alert, but what kind of guy has so many tigers? Isn’t it not a den, but a den where tigers live in groups?

Can this… survive?

“Then shall we go?”

“I see.”

Sunjo, who had been talking alone for a while, lightly lifted his feet and the scenery changed like a lie.

The wide plain remained unchanged, but a small chook appeared in front of him.

A very small cottage.

Just like in Human World, there was a fence made of bush clover, and a woman with a languid expression was waiting inside it with a displeased expression.

“… come in.”

“….”

A low voice that does not cause the listener to feel any discomfort, but has an irresistible sense of intimidation.

it’s her

Gwimo, who has been at the opposite end of the Jade Emperor and coordinated the world.

“Whoa…”

Jinmu took a deep breath and relaxed as he stepped inside the private door that Sunjo had opened.

Stepping and stepping….

The simple process expressed in the word “walking” made me more nervous and concerned than ever.

Just like a child who has just taken its first steps, Jinmu arrived in front of his mother after making an endless effort not to fall down.

A dwarf woman sitting quietly on a chair made from a tree stump filled Jinmu’s eyes.

It was strange.

She, who felt dwarfed and smaller than herself, is not included at a glance. Even though I was looking at it, I couldn’t fix it like a blind man who touched an elephant.

“It’s all right.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Is that what you did?”

“I have prepared it so that you can have a comfortable conversation.”

“I did something wrong…”

“I’m sorry.”

“It is done.”

Gwimo gave a disgruntled look at Soonjo, who smiled, and waved her hand.

Then everything that the five senses defined changed.

Cho-ok and private gate fences also disappeared. Before I knew it, there stood a temple made of huge stone pillars.

There is no distinction between what is real and what is imaginary. It was hard to keep my spirits up.

“Tsk, the guy who’s been eating two generals in the heavens… so far, does he believe in what he sees?”

The mother’s strike caused a crack in the shell made of bean curd.

Crispy!

With hallucinations digging into my ears, reality finally returned to the realm of cognition.

It is visible now.

His eyes reflected the image of his mother sitting cross-legged on a huge seat and looking down at her with her chin resting on her hand.

“It’s below expectations.”

“…yes?”

“I couldn’t calm down as I was surprised to suddenly achieve the divine and magical union. Even if he is imperfect, he has surpassed even the limit set by the beginning…” “

….”

Something that was filled in my head was collected like fog in the sunlight at the reprimand of my mother who did not hide that he was pitiful.

what the hell is this

It’s either dying or surviving anyway, but I’m scared.

Jinmu straightened his brow wide open and raised his head stiffly.

walked right away

His posture also became upright, so the precariousness of toddling around was nowhere to be found, and he was quite confident.

drooling.

Then, he took a chair under the seat where Gwimo was sitting, sat down on it, spread his legs wide, and looked up at him miserably.

Seeing this, Sunjo’s eyes twitched.

But it was after I had already changed my mind. Jinmu slowly turned his head and smiled at Soonjo, who was glaring at him.

Mr. Pax! Where do you think this is going?

Cover your eyes, you bastard son of a guardian spirit. At least on the subject of follow-up… Where are the adults talking, are you going to open your eyes?

At this moment, Jinmu was unaffected by Sunjo’s presence.

Everything depends on your mindset.

The mind that had regained its arrogance took control of the atrophied body.

“Nice to meet you.”

…Jinmu was more confident than ever.
