The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 165

Won Gonghu stared at Jinmu.

He remembered the time when Jinmu, who had brought Jeoksaeng with him during the fight, had scolded him with an electric sound.

‘Did you forget to say that no matter how thirsty you are, don’t drink the water from Taocheon!’

The moment he heard those words, he could only think of one person.

Those were the last words Hyeokryunmugang left to him as he returned to Gansuk.

He was Won Gong-hu, who had stubbornly carried out his will all his life. When Hyeokryeonmoo-gang singled out Yu Yue-cheong as the successor, Hyeokryeon-moo-gang praised him instead of scolding him as he returned to Gansu in great anger.

It should have that kind of grit.

and the words that followed.

Galbuleumdocheonsu (渴不飮盜泉水).

No matter how thirsty you are, don’t drink from the thief’s fountain, which means don’t give in to injustice even when it’s hard.

It was an old story of Confucius, so discussing injustice to the Sapa people was close to nonsense, but Duke Won was well aware that this was a request to him.

Even if you don’t like it, don’t forget the meaning of making Sapaecheon and help them to the end.

Even though Jinmu knows that revealing his identity is nonsense, he said it because the situation was so urgent and it was necessary to stop the fight between the two.

“Gonghu…”

Jinmu was about to tell him.

I thought I would tell you a secret I had that I had never told anyone before. It’s hard to believe, but

“A long time. That short bird is very old.”

“…?”

Won Gong Hu’s expression began to change without rest.

What he was curious about was how the young Yeopin knew the words Hyeokryeonmugang had left to him like a will.

“You won’t understand.”

Jinmu smiled mildly, but Won Gonghu’s expression was a mixture of doubt, bewilderment, and confusion.

“Who the hell are you? Maybe his…”

disciple? Or have you ever had a kite?

Jinmu, who came up with the most questions he could think of with his common sense, shook his head slowly.

“I am the one you suspect.”

“That person… He?”

“I know you can’t believe it. It’s something I still can’t quite understand.”

It’s nonsense.

Jinmu’s words were not understandable with a normal mind.

If he’s the one he’s talking about.

“My past name was HyukryunMugang. He is the one who established the foundation of Sapaecheon in the center of the sky, the sole owner of Mukryong, and his brother who wept in front of his father’s death.”

“….”

Gonghu Won’s eyes trembled violently at Jinmu’s dignified voice that continued in a low but serious manner.

The center of the sky refers to Mt. Cheonjung, and the sole owner of Mukryong refers to Mukryonghonwongong, which Hyeokryeonmugang learned.

And he was the best friend of his father, Won Jae-kyung.

“It has already been twenty years since I taught you the trick of the three swords.”

Jinmu just laughed and said, and for a moment, Won Gong Hu’s thinking ability stopped as if he had been struck by lightning.

What is the mystery of the three degrees?

It was the core of the Taoism handed down from the family of Prince Won.

It was a story that had not yet been told even to Won-ho Won, the fireman. Because they weren’t ready to accept it.

Only the two of them knew what could only be understood by reaching the heights of will.

Hyeokryun Mu Gang and Won Gong Hu.

Because Hyukryeonmu-gang made him realize it, Duke Wen was able to rise to the level of the river, and Cheonung-bang, led by him, was able to reign as the loser of Gansu.

“Do you know the first verse?”

“Are you still in doubt? good night. The first phrase is sleep (潛), the second is sec (速), and the third is bread (爆).”

“Ah…”

Moisture began to form in Won Gong Hu’s eyes.

And then his knees lost their strength and bent and touched the ground.

“Hello…”

“Yes.”

Jinmu nodded slowly.

Duke Wen erased from his mind all the distrust and suspicion that had disturbed him until then.

It really makes no sense, but how can you doubt it?

All of these things would never be known if it wasn’t for him.

“Ah, the Lord of Heaven…”

Won Gonghu eventually fell to the floor, unable to hold on.

The wet film that had risen dripped down his cheeks, dampening the floor.

No one will be able to hear the situation inside because Jinmu has already blocked the sound going outside.

Won Gong-hu cried and cried again.

Even though it had only been two years, the guilt for not being able to protect his death and the longing for his uncle, whom he had followed for a long time, flooded into his heart like a bursting dam and shook him.

“Original guy…”

Jinmu returned to the Hyeokryun martial arts of the past and patted Won Gonghu’s shoulder with a warm hand.

* * *

How much time has passed like that?

Won Gonghu and Jinmu sat across a bottle of alcohol.

“I can’t believe it. It is said that there are many good things in Gangho, but it is true.”

After crying for a long time, he barely calmed down and was still looking at Jinmu’s face in disbelief.

I know it’s strange, but stop watching. I’m going to break the plate.

Jinmu laughs awkwardly and asks for a drink.

“Woo Myung, that friend did a great job.”

“okay. Did you know that it was a real herb of immortality? On the one hand, I was dubious.”

At Jinmu’s words, Prince Won nodded.

It was after I had already heard about Jinmu’s identity.

“Somehow, when you came to visit me, I was puzzled that I could feel good spirits in my body. It’s amazing, but it must have been really… hard.”

When Gonghu Won spoke in a tone full of sympathy, recalling the masters he had experienced, his body shuddered as if hives were rising at the memories of the past, where Jinmu flowed like a kaleidoscope.

yes it was hard

Aren’t the damn old guru planting the Yukyangjingi that they don’t want? In order to recite an order that is not the same every day without rest.

“Still, perhaps because I have power inside my body, now quite a bit of ‘Muryangsu Buddha’ is sticking to my mouth.”

“Oh my gosh. what kind of weird thing is that? It is said that the Lord is an immeasurable Buddha. By the way, with the character of God, you endured well in the gap between the guru.”

“Hold on? I’m used to it now, so I’ve got quite good memories, but at first, I wanted to tear everything to death, and I heard more than twelve times a day. Even if the damned Dodong memory didn’t hold back his ankles for a while…”

Jinmu frowned in disgust, and Won Gonghu laughed with an expression of amusement.

It would have been.

I became a master of that character.

“But what are you doing here? Did you come to know about the conflict between Cheon Woong-bang and Jin-seong?”

“I didn’t know before coming. I heard about it through a friend of his.”

“As expected, originally, the Lord of Heaven had no interest in the rumors of the Central Court until he told me about it. Anyway, he was a great friend.”

yes.

In hindsight, Jinmoo, like Dang Se-ryeong, was like catching mice with his hind legs.

Who knew he was that great?

“Anyway, I’m worried.”

“okay. There’s no way Woo Myung, that ignorant and honest guy, can’t stop.”

“It’s all because of God.”

Jinmu laughed bitterly at Won Gonghu’s criticism.

“I can’t blame him. He too sees it as being loyal to God.”

“know.”

It’s natural because he’s not someone else.

No matter who said it, it must have been a warning to the small ears. Even though he knew it was wrong, he was willing to follow his disciple’s orders.

“But what happened? Are you turning your back on Sapaecheon?”

“Hmm…”

Jinmu asked, and Won Gonghu frowned.

“I didn’t think Yu Yue-cheong would go that far.”

“…?”

“Since the Lord of Heaven passed away, Sapaecheon’s finances began to suffer. I don’t know if it’s because of that, but I was greedy endlessly. Unlike Heavenly Lord, he did not hesitate to do anything that would make money, so at first I thought he would.”

“Have you run out of money?”

No way?

Clearly, a huge amount of wealth in Vigo…

Jinmu’s face was suddenly distorted.

Come to think of it, I didn’t teach it. How to open remarks.

Probably couldn’t open it even with 10,000 explosives.

It is because the person who made the note of Sapaecheon was Bang Yoo-cheok, a famous general in the world.

But there was one more person who knew how to open Vigo. It was thousands of people.

Wouldn’t Chun Woo-myeong have just been watching Sa Pae-cheon suffer from financial difficulties?

Could it be that he didn’t open it because he thought Vigo’s goods belonged to Jinmu?

“Anyway, Yu Yue-cheong started ordering things that the Lord had forbidden from some time ago.”

forbidden thing?

“I started demanding a huge repayment from Sapaecheon. Even small and medium-sized breakwaters and back alley gangsters were taxed, and now there are cases where human trafficking, contract killings, and even kidnapping are not carried out at all.”

“…”

“The Black Gang is ruthlessly extorting money from the common people by expanding gambling halls and usury, and even touching the crown of the coffin if it is profitable to green forest and waterlogging.”

Could it be that he brought even bandits and bandits into his nature?

“It’s only been two years. It is completely different from the original banner.”

“I…I did.”

Jinmu’s face hardened more and more.

“Not only me, but the elders also remonstrated about him over and over again. But in the end, they were all thrown out.”

got kicked out?

“Yue Yuecheong kicked out all those who spoke unpleasant words and reorganized the elders with those who spoke pleasant words.”

“I see.”

“Anyway, I am glad that the Lord has returned. Again…”

I know what you mean.

It must mean to unite again with me as the center and return Sapaecheon to its original form.

But Jinmu shook his head.

“no.”

“yes? what is that At this rate, it is only a matter of time before Sapaecheon collapses. Already, small and medium-sized breakwaters are turning their backs on finding their way to live, suffering from huge bounty payments. Then, we will go back to the past when we were persecuted by the forces of the Political Alliance.”

I know it will happen.

But the time has not yet come.

“I am still weak.”

“yes? What kind of small grain is that? Isn’t that the way you’ve already done it once? If you say that your internal strength is not enough, I will pour all the manpower and funds of Cheonwoongbang to save Yeongcho and Yeongdan and offer them to you.”

Then it would be even better.

However, Jinmu is now learning Yukyangjingi of Taoism, not Mukryonghonwongong of the past.

If you can’t learn Mukryonghonwongong with Yanguisimgong, even if you eat Yeongdan and Yeongcho, your power will only increase.

Of course, how important is your status to get your hands on Sapaecheon?

But Jinmu was already having another dream.

“What I want, Prince Gong, isn’t just one of the four Phaecheon. I am about to stand at the top of not only Sapaecheon, but also Jeongsama.”

“Yes?”

Gonghu Won stares at Jinmu with despondent eyes.

No matter how much the heavenly being in front of you is reincarnated? possession? Anyway, I’ve experienced something that I’ve never heard of.

“Lord.”

“huh?”

“Does the herb of immortality have any side effects?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The highest rank of Sama Jeong. What kind of nonsense is that?”

“….”

Won Gong-hu looks at him with an expression that he will listen to all nonsense.

Well, even if you think about it, it sounds a bit crazy.

“Believe me. I was a revolutionary martial artist…”

“…”

Gonghu Won, who had been happy to see Cheonju come back all along, looked at Jinmu with wide open eyes as if he had never done that.

Your child’s faith has weakened a lot.

Or are you ignoring her because of her youthful appearance? It’s very disrespectful.

“Gongfu.”

“yes?”

“Has it been a long time since you were hit?”

“…?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Now that I’m all old, I can’t remember the head that won’t work properly.”

Seeing Jinmu clenching his fists with a full smile on his face, Won Gonghu felt goosebumps rising from instinctive horror.

“Did you open your eyes and stare at me before, and then lay down for a month or three after pooping blood?”

When Jinmu got up from his seat, Won Gonghu hurriedly averted his gaze.

“Yeah right. Apparently it was.”

“God!”

Gonghu Won urgently shouted with eyes filled with determination (?).

“For now, I think the first thing to do is to solve Chun Woo-myeong’s affairs.”

you know you know

But that’s it and now is now.

Close your eyes and shut up… Let’s get hit for a while.

Just to remind you once again of how we were in the past.
