The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Chapter 258

Knock… … Knock… … Knock… … .

Inside a deep, dark cave.

Water created by the gathering of damp energy flows along the sloped walls of the cave, collects at the protrusions, and falls to the floor and breaks.

And in the center of the darkness where the broken water splashed, a human figure was looming.

“Major Lord.”

A voice from somewhere breaks the silence, revealing a pair of eyes.

“What’s going on?”

The voice that the owner of the eyes spit out was that of an elderly woman.

“There are some guys hanging out around Hasimgok.”

“…….”

At his words, her face hidden in the darkness slightly distorted.

“… … Are they demons again?”

“no. They are first-timers.”

“They are the first to see… … .”

The owner of the eyes paused for a moment.

After some silence, the conversation continues.

“What were you doing?”

The old woman’s question was missing several things.

First of all, I didn’t ask what kind of people they were, and there were no questions about general information like how strong or weak they were or how many they were.

It was a confident question, as if no one cared.

“I was cautious, as if I was looking for something.”

“Looking for it?”

The old woman’s voice is full of displeasure.

Hasimgok was their hiding place.

It is a place that even the acquaintances who have known for a long time did not tell.

It is a place where some preparations have been made to completely cut off from the outside world, so the act of wandering around and looking for something is inevitably annoying.

“What should I do?”

“…….”

It means to make a life-or-death decision.

But I can’t get rid of the feeling of something uneasy.

“What are the odds of finding us?”

“I don’t know yet, but it might be a little annoying.”

Being a nuisance meant that a battle could happen.

“Is no one out there?”

“The Somak Lord is out in Jinmapyeong.”

“You mean again?”

At the voice of the pupil, there was more irritation than before, then it turned into a sigh.

“I begged you so… … .”

“Probably because it’s frustrating.”

“…….”

“Even if you have great skills, aren’t you still young? Still, I have never strayed from Jinmapyeong, so please understand.”

Even though I couldn’t see his face, he seemed to be smiling for some reason.

“Ha, that should be it. An escort?”

“Five.”

“I get it. If I knew that an outsider was hanging out, I wouldn’t recklessly return, but just in case, put a pipe on it.”

“yes.”

“And bite the kids who are monitoring the outside. There is nothing good about causing useless friction, so just keep an eye on it for now.”

“All right.”

After those words, the subordinate’s voice was no longer heard, and his presence disappeared.

The owner of the eyes let out a light sigh.

“Because he’s like a god damned god… … . By appointing an idiot as the successor.”

She uttered words of deep lamentation and got up after a long sitting.

how long did it take

The darkness around her disappears and her figure emerges into a brightly lit area.

With a cane and a stooped waist, it was the image of a villager.

However, those who remembered her called her Yahwa, the most beautiful flower in the dark.

* * *

The Yellow River, which divides the boundary between Shaanxi and Shanxi, changes its direction to the east, forming a boundary with Shanxi and the northern land again.

The southern part of the river was Shanxi, and the northern part was the lands once ruled by Beiyuan.

It became a place under the rule of the emperor through several conquests, but the place where officers and soldiers were not deployed was a hotbed of lawlessness and was infested with hordes of bandits.

Among them, a place called Jinmapyeong was famous for buying and selling goods plundered by bandits, but it was not controlled by the coffin.

If you touch it wrong, you might have to go to war with the entire horde of demons.

Every official who comes to the nearby area neglected it because he liked the good thing, and the scale grew bigger and bigger and Jinmapyeong became like a huge village of bandits.

It was midnight when Jinmu, who left Dadongru in Hagok with Hwangsin, arrived at Jinmapyeong.

“Damn it, what kind of man’s land is all dusty?”

Jinmu frowned at the feeling of his mouth getting prickly.

From Hagok to Jinmapyeong, I ran about 300 li.

It wasn’t even a desert, but there was only yellowish ground all the way, and after leaving the Yellow River, I didn’t see a single common stream.

“The emperor.”

At the place where Jinmu turned his head rapidly, Hwangsin, who had been trampled and turned white with dust, was constantly spitting out the dust in his mouth while rolling on the ground ceaselessly while training (?).

“I need to wash my body first. Find a place to rest.”

At those words, Hwangshin nodded his head eagerly with a happy face.

It seems that mine was having a hard time too.

The village of Jinmapyeong, which entered inside, looks very strange.

The building was built with bricks made of baked earth, and the ceiling was only covered with a thick cloth.

Even so, the alleys were brightly lit, and every street corner was full of vendors selling things they had never seen before.

“and!”

“…….”

“Oh clothes!”

“…….”

What is so strange about it is that Hwangshin opens his eyes wide and moves from place to place, looking around.

I asked for a place to rest, and this bastard.

Jinmu, who frowned, lowered his raised fist and sighed.

I heard that he lived as a tramp when he was young, as a murderer when he grew up, and then as a hermit who belonged to the Eunwidan. It’s the first time he sees it, so it must be amazing. ‘Cause he’s still young

Yes, I had a hard time training, but let’s see it at least once.

“The emperor.”

“……?”

“I am watching. I’ll find a place to rest. When called, don’t leak anywhere else and come running straight away.”

At Jinmu’s words, Hwangshin nodded happily.

This isn’t even a babysitter.

After a thousand weeks… … Damn, this is all because the seller is ferocious.

After parting with Hwangshin, Jinmu shook his head and went deep into the village through the market.

What I saw after the market was over was a street full of pubs lined up in alleys.

All you see is an outer wall made of mud bricks. It was no different from the market streets we passed, except for the fact that it sold alcohol.

“Look. Where is the best place to stay here?”

At Jinmu’s question, the guy who looked like a criminal at first glance looked him up and down and pointed at the end of the alley with his finger.

A guy who looks like he’s only about forty, he’s not cheap.

However, Jinmu, who had a stronger desire to clean up rather than cause unnecessary trouble, thanked him and moved on.

It was the moment I reached my goal and was about to push the door open. Feeling the danger running through her fingertips, Jinmu quickly stepped back and moved out of the way to a safe position.

Wow Jangchang!

The door shattered and a figure was thrown out.

If I hadn’t backed away, I would have probably bumped into it.

“You bastard! I told you to stay out of my sight!”

Another guy walks out of the door, huffing.

Muscular and hairy. It was something that smelled like a typical third-rate rogue boat.

Jinmu, who was about to go inside to avoid him because it had nothing to do with it, stopped walking again.

The guys behind them block the door again.

These… … .

yes let’s be patient be patient It’s annoying to lose, right now.

I want to go in when everything comes out… … When are you coming out? How many more will there be?

Damn, make the door bigger. There is not even a side door.

Even while grumbling for a long time, he came out of nowhere, but even after all these damn bastards came out, he didn’t think of getting out of the door.

Unable to bear it, Jinmu stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“Hey, get out of there… … .”

“Hey, did you say I would die if you reappeared?”

Jinmu’s voice, trying to squeeze in between them, was drowned out by the hairy guy’s voice.

“…….”

I really wasn’t trying to beat you guys.

Jinmu clenched his fists and glared at the hairy guy who came out first.

But how is it a bit strange?

Not a hairy guy, but a man hanging around with his collar in his hand.

This is the guy who first broke down the door and fell to the floor.

Jinmu looked at him quietly as the man brushed his tousled hair and smiled servilely.

“Oops, large. So what? I have to pray like this to fill my hungry stomach.”

“That’s your case, you fucking bastard.”

Whiik! dump!

The moment the hairy boy mercilessly threw the man away, Jinmu’s eyes widened.

“Aigoo.”

A hand quickly brushed the hairy bosom right before it flew away.

Jinmu laughed at the man’s exaggerated moan as he fell to the ground.

The moment he fell, he used his arms to dampen the shock and stretched his body out loud to raise his voice. Even so, she pretends to be sick.

But besides Jinmu, you wouldn’t know it no matter how much you look at it with the eyes of the cows gathered there.

What an exquisite guy.

“Oh, I’m dying.”

People around him burst into laughter as he stretches his back and grimaces excessively.

Even his acting skills are outstanding.

Even Jinmu, who was trying to find a place to rest, looked at the man with curious eyes.

The face revealed through the tousled hair is roughly before and after the contract.

“Go, you bastard! If you come to our store one more time, you will die!”

Hairy guy, was he the owner of the tavern?

The man who had been crouching on the ground struggled to get up while the onlookers left.

“Oops, oops.”

The man who stooped and groaned staggered away, and Jinmu, who was curious, followed him while keeping his distance.

An alley that bends at right angles.

The moment Jinmoo turned, the man disappeared.

Let’s see this baby?

Jinmu looked around the surroundings expressionlessly and continued walking into a pub located nearby.

self.

The man who had disappeared appeared as if he were protruding from a mud wall, and glanced at the shop filled with jinmu.

“Weren’t you following me?”

Tilting his head, he put his hand into his bosom with a non-trivial expression and checked the loot.

jingle.

A fairly heavy front pouch made of brown leather.

“Hairy bastard, you must be feeling a little bitter knowing that your anterior chamber is gone by now.”

The grinning man walked out of the village with his back straight as if he had never pretended to be sick.

I’m sorry.

And after a while, Jinmu, who went into the store, came out.

“You mean there are five of them? Secretly too?”

After the man’s presence disappeared, there was a guy who had been hiding and persistently watching.

I couldn’t show myself because I read his signs.

He’s the one who makes me more and more curious.

The hand movements he showed when stealing the money were the peerless gold nails, Jam Yeong-soo, who was said to be secretive enough not to even cast a shadow, and the technique he showed when he fell was the mother-of-pearl technique modeled after the movement of a cat.

Both are salmak’s poisonous martial arts. This means that it is related to or is related to the minimum salmak.

If you assume it’s Salmak, it means you’re in a high position enough to take five escorts with you.

“It means the least great slayer. That little guy.”

From now on, I was going to have to find someone who knew about Hasimgok, but this pumpkin came rolling in front of my feet?

Well, if this is the case.

“Hwangshi-in!”

Jinmu shouted so loudly that all eyes were focused on him.

It doesn’t matter who hears it.

Who knows the name Hwangshin? You’ll just think you’ve met a nice friend, or you’ll just think you’re crazy.

And as long as they were in the same space, there was no way that the emperor couldn’t hear them.

Now all you have to do is wait.

“…….”

just wait… … .

wait… … .

You bastard, why aren’t you here?
