The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 424

Jinmu looked out the window with calm eyes.

The highest point of the tall building is the residence of the leader of the government.

My eyes were sore from the pouring sunlight, but on the other hand, it felt good because it was warm.

While enjoying the warmth and watching the people busily running around the inside of the building and the palace standing tightly outside the window, many thoughts came to mind.

They said don’t be new to life.

Who knew that he, who was a lifelong foe to Jeong Mu-maeng, would look at the world so leisurely from the heart?

Even if the position has changed, it has changed for a long time.

Now he is the disciple of Sapaecheon and the shaman who represents the political faction and the leader of the Demonic Cult.

Squeak.

While Jinmu was lost in his thoughts, a well-dressed Sibi came in and poured the carefully brewed tea into a teacup.

“Come here and sit down.”

“….”

As the tea water dripped and warmed up, Cheol Ji-ryang offered a seat to Jin-mu, who was looking out the window.

“It’s Iron Guanyin.”

“Heh heh, compared to the prestige you have earned, neither the tea nor the teacup will look good, but understand. Because I tend to stay away from the extravagance of my original body.”

Like any normal old man living next door, his friendly smile was somehow full of pensiveness.

“…”

But do you stay away from luxury?

are you serious now?

Jinmu looked at Cheol Ji-ryang and his residence with a bewildered look.

Cheol Ji-ryang’s room looked old at first glance.

It must have been quite a long time since the trees forming the wall were cracked and repaired.

But that hanging scroll on the wall.

It is Li Baek’s own dog. Also personally.

What about the orchid placed next to it?

If my eyes are not mistaken, it is definitely a rare orchid that only grows in Yunnan.

Is that all?

Even at the age of over seventy, her skin was taut without a single wrinkle, and her beautiful hands seemed to have never suffered.

In fancy silk clothes that could cost ten pieces of silver per horse… A jade topknot with hair fixed

.

“What are you doing? Come here.”

“….”

He pretended to be free-spirited and gestured towards Jinmu as he had a lot of expensive things wrapped around his body.

Well, even when I first came, didn’t I lay the floor with adamantine stones that would break countless times during martial arts training, saying something about my personal gymnasium?

“Maeng came at a very difficult time.”

“…?”

Very plague… Living in such a luxurious way.

“Anyway, we’ll share the details when the grand commander comes. tell me I came across it through my open source, but I was curious. To beat that Bukri Docheon.”

“…”

While Jinmu was bewildered, Cheol Ji-ryang asked, showing a lot of curiosity even though his face was full of pensiveness.

Seeing this, Jinmu laughed.

You must be curious.

A match against Bukri Docheon, who was evaluated as the strongest in history as a warrior who led the era.

It must have been a pity that he could not capture the vivid scene with his own eyes.

“Nothing was wrong. It’s just…”

As Jinmu, who had erased his thoughts, carefully recounted the story of his fight with Bukri Docheon, Cheol Ji-ryang listened with exclamations of exclamation.

It was when the teacup was emptied countless times and the tea finally ran out due to the tension that was vividly conveyed just by listening to it.

“Jimmu Dojo!”

“…?”

The door opened violently and Jegal Hyeopjin ran in with a welcome face.

“Hey man. The door will break.”

“Oh sorry. Maeng Lord. I couldn’t control my excitement when I heard that the Jinmu Dojang had arrived…”

Jegal Hyeopjin scratched his head with an awkward expression at Cheol Ji-ryang’s light criticism.

“It’s okay. The country would have been like that too. The pride of our political affairs alliance has returned.”

“Am yea yea.”

Seeing them making a fuss back and forth between them, Jinmu laughed and shook his head.

Well, I should have been great.

“So, how was the Demonic Cult? I came across it through my open source, but I was curious. To beat that Bukri Docheon.”

“…”

Jinmu narrowed his eyes at the words of Jegal Hyeopjin, who sat down next to him and asked.

It’s not like I’m trying to do this….

If only the first verse is different and the same thing, pay and listen.

Don’t make me repeat the same words over and over again.

“How come you look tired anyway?”

“huh? Ah… I’ve been having trouble with some crazy guy lately.”

“Are you crazy?”

“okay. Didn’t you hear when you came?”

“What?”

“Looks like Mupunggae didn’t say anything.”

“…Are you talking about that great palace?”

“That’s true, but other problems popped up one after another…”

Cheol Ji-ryang helped out with a firm expression as Jegal Hyeop-jin let out a sigh.

“It would be fine if I told you.”

“…”

Hearing the words full of trust, Jinmu thought of Yang So-bang.

Would it be okay if I told you

It can’t be that this is a popular expression these days…

Anyway, even if you don’t hear about the crown prince, you’ll understand.

Isn’t it too easy to flirt even though it’s said to be top secret?

Now, the next word remains to be expected.

Actually, not too long ago…

“Actually, His Highness the King of Young came to visit me not too long ago.”

“…”

too.

But I already knew everything about that part.

“The crown prince we were secretly looking for suddenly appeared in Gansu.”

“…Is that true?”

You were the one who made the crown prince, but let’s pretend to be surprised.

Originally, the right posture for listeners is the proper chuimsae.

“For that reason, the Meng invested all available forces. Not only the alumni who learned about this, but also the alumni are putting all their efforts into it.”

I bet it is.

“However, the traces of the crown prince have not been caught. As if someone is helping.”

“Has that ever happened? That’s why firefighter Yang is there…”

It was fortunate indeed, though he still pretended not to know.

How fortunate was Ma Gang to draw attention so well?

Because Hao Mun and Sak Wol-cheon, who are looking for the real crown prince, will be able to move more easily.

“Well, aren’t you glad? No matter how great an alumni or alumnus are, they won’t be able to deal with the adult Mupunggae and his subordinates.”

With that much power, even the demonic river would never be able to catch it.

“I thought so. However, an unexpected problem popped up again.”

“Is it a problem?”

“Hmm…”

Cheolji-ryang let out a deep saliva at Jinmu’s question.

Then, Jegal Hyeopjin, whose hair had turned white from the agony, gritted his teeth and said.

“Some crazy bastard threw out rumors about the crown prince.”

“….”

“If I ever find out what the damn thing is, I want to rip his snout off.”

Some crazy bastard had a serious expression on the outside and was shouting joy on the inside.

Worthy to see Worthy to see

I prepared it for you, the smartest guy in the world.

how is it? Will you go crazy and jump?

“Anyway, because of that rumor, Moorim itself has been put in the spotlight.”

“…”

It sounds like a wind lantern.

you man Isn’t that an exaggeration too much? What are you doing to light the wind?

Oh, I want to laugh happily.

But shouldn’t there be some kind of misunderstanding?

Even if you bite your tongue, you have to endure it.

“Because of that, both the king and the queen are trying to move the gold army. Fortunately, the two forces have yet to seize the initiative, so a decision has not been made, but the emperor’s order will come soon.”

“…”

Huh? what?

Now, wait a minute, what is the golden army saying?

Why are they suddenly out? Wasn’t that something that was in my plan?

Jinmu, who was enjoying the sight of Jegal Hyeopjin grinding his teeth in anger, blinked his eyes with a dazed expression.

“Isn’t it obvious that whichever side receives the emperor’s orders will blow a lot of blood in Murim?”

“…”

After Cheol Ji-ryang helped out, Jegal Hyeop-jin’s face became more gloomy.

That’s nice in its own way, but… Why does it seem like things are going in a completely different direction than planned?

“In fact, because of that, when the King of Kings came and extended his hand, I didn’t readily grab it.”

“…Now hold on a second.”

“…?”

“Isn’t that too much of an idea? Whoever secures the crown prince has anything to do with Moorim?”

“Honestly, you who have lived as a shaman’s guru and martial artist don’t know how the political situation works.”

“…”

“In fact, the existence of the crown prince was a very sensitive issue.”

“…”

“It’s the best way for the two powers, the noble faction and the royal faction, to hold on to each other’s leashes.”

Jinmu tilted his head at Jegal Hyeopjin’s explanation.

The noble faction and the royal faction?

What else is that? Yang So-bang didn’t even talk about such a deep story?

Why does the story suddenly expand into a whirlwind feeling of Jungkook?

“It’s the shrimp caught in the middle of a whale fight that breaks its back.”

A whale would be a princess and a king… Then, a shrimp would mean Murim.

“If the queen gets military power, she will secure the crown prince, kill him, and seize the real power.”

“You kill the prince?”

“okay. I will kill the crown prince and put all the blame on the young king. Then, they will try to wipe out Murim who colluded with the King.”

“Then, shouldn’t we make sure that the young king secures the crown prince?”

“That is also a problem.”

“…?”

“If King Yeong directly secures the crown prince without our help, do you think he will leave us alone after punishing the royal family?”

“Are you saying you’re going to be beaten? I heard you asked me to block the Great Bow?”

“that’s right. I asked you to block the Great Palace. The problem lies next. A fight between Murim and Daegung. No matter what the result is, the young king is trying to take on the position of a fisherman. No matter who wins, they will try to uproot it by using the gold army.”

“What did you say? Why?”

“Bonshi’s imperial family doesn’t like Murim. I can’t like it when those who are outside the bounds of the law I made act as if they were the masters of the world.”

“….”

“Until now, I just left it alone, saying what to do. It’s obvious that if you create a riot, both Geumgun and Moorim will only suffer losses. But now it’s different. Isn’t the Great Palace coming to reduce the number of Murim people?”

The purge of nobles using the crown prince.

The Daegung, which is trying to shake the national tide, and the Murim, which has been regarded as a thorn in the eye, are trying to destroy it.

“You mean King Yeong is using Murim to catch two or three rabbits?”

“My guess is that.”

“…”

“So when I held his hand, I asked for immunity with the emperor’s seal. I thought it was the last bastion that could put the Jeongmu-maeng to the highest position in the Murim, but at the same time preserve the Murim in the worst moment.”

King Yeong, who tries to achieve the three goals, is great, but Jegal’s cooperation is also great.

Taejo’s decree of non-compliance with government affairs was only an oral statement, but it becomes a legal system if it is left as a document.

It is the emperor’s spirit, so even after generations, it cannot be violated carelessly.

Also a dumb guy.

Even though I expected all kinds of flashlights, I left all the ways for him to survive.

“But now even that is useless.”

Cheol Ji-ryang, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth in a heavy voice.

“why?”

“The rumor made the King distrust us. I asked for an interview several times to restore lost trust, but he never met me.”

“….”

Are you saying immunity is the same as passing water?

I hadn’t even thought of such a damn thing.

The runner and I were only thinking of getting past him, but we didn’t consider the problems that would arise.

After all, it seems that not everyone who has eaten meat can come up with strategies and tactics just because they cook well.

Damn it. That’s why the old adults said it wasn’t given to someone after studying.
