The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 155
Episode 155
A gigantic castle built on a vast sunny plain south of Mt. Cheonjung.
The walls around it stretched out as if to encircle Cheonjung Mountain, and they were so high that if you got close to them, you would have to tilt your head all the way.
That place is Sapaecheon (邪覇天), one of the axis of the three bands of the central plains.
When the nature of Sapaecheon settled down on Mt. Cheonjung in Hanam, where everyone was confident that it would be the realm of a political faction, everyone pointed their fingers at him saying that he was crazy.
It was a very dangerous thing and also a very futile thing.
It was only natural that it had Shaolin to the north, Jeongmu-maeng to the south, Wudang to the west, and Namgung of Anhui to the east.
What kind of madman would have thought that Sapa’s foundation would be established in the same place as the heart of the sect?
Some ridiculed him for being Son Oh-gong, who runs rampant like a thunderbolt, while others pointed his finger at him, calling him a useless egg-driver.
that it would not last even a year.
However, they fought a fierce life-and-death battle, proudly endured for 40 years, and succeeded in taking root.
The person who achieved all of this was the Sapa’s Heaven, who had reigned over Murim for 40 years, and was Hyukryeon Mu-gang, the evil emperor.
Later, when they established themselves as the owners of Mt. Cheonzhong, the disciples and elders who were freed from the fierce battle asked in a weary voice.
“Chunju, there are many other places, so why was it Mt. Cheonjung? Do you have any secrets here?”
“What is the secret? Because it is heavenly.”
“yes?”
“The center of the sky. Isn’t it cool? Isn’t that the most suitable name for me, Hyeokryeonmugang?”
He laughed shamelessly.
When they heard that, the disciples and elders forgot that he was the Lord of Heaven and wanted to tear his mouth apart.
Did the warriors of Sapaecheon go through such hardships to protect it just because of that name?
It was a shame because everyone risked their lives to protect it, but because it touched the pride of the political faction properly, they had to go to war without missing a single day for ten years, and countless people lost their lives.
But still, I thought there must be a reason.
Everyone had no doubts that there would be a hidden reason if the seven stars of political affairs kneeled one after another, and if he was called the strongest in the midfield along with the Ilwol Demonic leader, Bukri Docheon, there would be a hidden reason.
“God, is there any other reason?”
“reason? Yes.”
also.
“The mountain is good. Since I was little, I promised to build a house here.”
“…”
Promise is a very good word.
Fulfilling a childhood dream is also commendable.
It is a great thing for a person to live to achieve one goal without being frustrated by countless adversities and failures.
However, the disciples and elders sweared with their eyes, saying, ‘It’s a yawa!’
It was because I was so scared that I couldn’t do it with my mouth.
In this way, Sapaecheon stood at Cheonzhong Mountain in Henan Province and stood as the center of Sapa for forty years.
And at the center of the castle, there is a nine-story building that stretches toward the sky.
Cheonjungjeon (天中殿), the center of Sapaecheon and the residence of the Four Emperors.
“Ha ha ha!”
A river of light that burst out roughly.
Its origin was an old man over sixty.
He was none other than the only disciple of Hyeokryeonmugang and the second Sapaecheonju Yuwolcheong who had three divisions of the present Moorim.
“I am overjoyed to be able to meet the rumored merchant Song Dae-in in person.”
Yoo Yuolcheong smiled greedily at the gold and silver treasures piled up in front of his eyes.
“I’m sorry. Even though I have a relationship with the Lord, I have sent the lower ones with the excuse that my bones are aching from old age.”
An old man bowing respectfully toward Yuwolcheong.
With his white hair neatly trimmed and pinned with a topknot, and wearing a silk long hem, he was Song Yeo-bang, the owner of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, which encompassed Sanggye in Shanxi Province.
After greeting, he raised his head, and his face was very correct, not befitting the age of over seventy this year.
If I were to think of it, would it be like an old school teacher who has been studying for a long time?
“Hehe, I’m not ignorant of Song’s age, and I’m not saying anything to blame, so please excuse yourself.”
“yes. Lord.”
When Yoo Yue-cheong waved her hand and invited her to sit down, Song Yeo-bang walked upright and sat down.
“Anyway, I don’t know if I can get this much?”
When Yoo Yue-cheong glanced greedily at the box full of treasures, Song Yeo-bang smiled.
“It all stems from my respect for God. Thanks to that, over the past year, our company has been able to easily move beyond Shanxi and settle down in Henan.”
The old man bowed his head politely, and Yu Yue-cheong looked very bright.
“Hehe, thank you every time. After the death of the former emperor, I couldn’t open a secret store, so I wasn’t rich in finances. Thanks to you, it is a great help in controlling the main stream.”
“God is putting gold on my face.”
“It is not fair to say that it is gold lacquer. Isn’t everyone like that?”
Yu Yue-cheong asked as if asking for consent, and the elders of Sapaecheon who sat with him all smiled and responded.
“Oh. Song Dae-in is a noble man bestowed by heaven on our Sapaecheon.”
“you’re right.”
They were busy giving compliments to each other.
“Hehe, since everyone says that, I can’t stand it. After all, they have no flesh and blood, so when they die, they will rot and become rubbish. In addition, it is being dedicated to Sapaecheon for the development of the company, so please reap the rewards.”
In other words, it is a donation.
Hani, the expressions of the Sapaecheon leaders looking at Song Yeo-bang were brighter than ever.
“By the way, how are you today? I heard that there are many sects who have broken away from Sapaecheon?”
When Song Yeo-bang carefully asked, Yue-cheong Yu frowned.
“It was. It’s all because of that god damned god. He was so persistent even when he died, but I never thought he would teach me how to open the Vigo. Anyway, nothing to worry too much about. As I said before, it was caused by a lack of finances, but with the help of Daein Song, it is gradually being resolved.”
Song Yeo-bang smiled at the sight of Yoo Yuol-cheong grinding his teeth.
“Fortunately, the. By the way, you can’t see the cloth lord?”
“A thousand Danju?”
At Song Yeo-bang’s question, Yu Wol-cheong, as well as the elders’ faces, look extremely disgusted.
“yes. Chun Woo-myeong Danju. We met once before.”
“Oh, it was. I had a lot of lungs back then. I will apologize instead.”
“Lungs. It doesn’t even matter. That it was a result of a mutual misunderstanding.”
Song Yeobang shook her head.
It was the first time that Shanxi Chamber of Commerce established a relationship with Sapaecheon to advance to Henan.
One hundred escorts of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, which was expanding its business, collided with the iron swords and were annihilated.
Chun Woo-myeong was the strongest master of Sapaecheon, who is known to be stronger than Jeongmu-Chilseong. Just a little simpler than others.
Anyway, the misunderstanding was resolved only after Song Yeo-bang bowed his head toward Chun Woo-myeong, who visited the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.
“When I think of what happened back then, I am still ashamed to see Daein Song’s face. don’t worry about one This time, they sent you into exile far away.”
“Exile?”
“exactly. If not, I would have been unable to meet my schedule with the work that Shanseo Chamber of Commerce asked me this time.”
“yes? How?”
“Chun Danju does not oppose everything. A bastard of a young bastard.”
“…?”
Song Yeobang tilted her head.
A request he made to Yoo Yuol-cheong a while ago.
He asked to save about 100 children around 15.
kidnapping of course
It was a secret request that could not be made to anyone other than Sapaecheon. For that reason, Yeobang Song gave thanks and donated money.
“Then why did the owner of Cheon oppose it?”
“It’s all because of the former Heavenly Lord.”
“which?”
“As a Sapa, it’s hard to say that it’s like shame, but I won’t hold back my words because I don’t regard my Song Dae-in like anyone else. As Song Dae-in knows, the former Emperor of Heaven was a person who was beyond evil.”
“yes. I know.”
“He was an old man who was strong enough to handle everything according to his own stubbornness, but he was no better than a child.”
Although Yu Yue-cheong was my teacher, he did not hesitate to gossip.
“You must have suffered a lot.”
When Song Yeo-bang made a sad expression, Yu Wol-cheong opened her mouth as if she was happy to have someone besides the elders who listened to her words.
“Anyway, there were a lot of restrictions because of that.”
“Restrictions?”
“The lord of the previous generation strictly forbade harming the grassroots.”
“ah!”
“Isn’t that crazy? Think about it. Why is Sapa Sapa? Don’t bother Mincho. If so, do you mean robbing a clan belonging to a political faction?”
Yeobang Song quietly smiled at Yoo Yuolcheong’s complaint.
“Anyway, I was just going to live a normal life after he died, but this time, Danju Cheon will open his eyes and won’t interfere.”
“Are you saying that he is deeply loyal to the Lord of Heaven?”
At Song Yeo-bang’s words, Yu Yue-cheong showed a clear expression of dislike.
“exactly. At the end of every word, how was it and what was it like for the Heavenly Lord… How can I act like I’ve become an evil king?”
King Chungmuak was a highly respected loyalist in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
“Still, you are very loyal. They still follow their master who has been dead for over two years.”
“That’s right. In any case, I thought that Sapaecheon would not be any different if I left him alone, so I sent him to subdue the clans in Gansuseong who had recently rebelled against Boncheon.”
“Oh, I won’t see you for a while.”
“What for a while. I’m planning to have them go out in turn, starting with Gwansuk. It’s much better than having that stupid guy come back and cause a nuisance.”
As the elders nodded at Yoo Yue-cheong’s words, Song Yeo-bang asked, puzzled.
“Are you stupid? But didn’t he say he’s in charge of the Iron Sword Team, the strongest organization in Sapaecheon?”
“What is the strongest? that guy is that guy All of them are strong idiots who resemble the owner.”
Song Yeo-bang smiled bitterly at the harsh evaluation and defended it.
“Still, it seems that the Lord’s command is followed well.”
“Are you following? That, too, is unknown.”
“yes?”
“It’s just because I believe that protecting Sapaecheon means being loyal to the Heavenly Lord of the previous generation.”
“…Oh, I see.”
“As an aside, the previous Heavenly Father fell ill in his later years. At that time, the cheondanju went around saying that he would bring immortality to his ancestors.
“yes? Do you mean such a thing exists?”
“what? Hahaha! It can’t be. If it had been the herb of immortality, would I have sat in the seat of the Lord of Heaven like this?”
“ah! That’s right too. My thoughts were short.”
“It was just a small commotion created by a great man who was no match for his stupidity.”
Yu Yue-cheong recalled that time and laughed.
“So what are you doing?”
“Thanks to God’s care, everything is going smoothly.”
“Haha, I’m glad. Please let me know if you need anything.”
“Yes, Lord. If you do, I will leave.”
“You mean already?”
“yes.”
“I ordered a banquet to be prepared for my great man Song.”
When Yu Yue-cheong showed his displeasure without hiding it, Song Yeo-bang shook his head apologetically.
“I have to work even harder for the Lord and Sapaecheon, so how can I rest for a moment? I just want to help the Lord grow Sapaecheon into a much greater power than before.”
Seeing Song Yeo-bang bowing her head respectfully, Yu Wol-cheong put on a reassuring expression.
“haha. A crab with my seal. To meet someone like you in your later years.”
Yu Yue-cheong laughed out loud and agreed to Song Yeo-bang’s intention to return.
“If so, the next time you come, be sure to prepare for the banquet.
“yes. Lord.”
Yoo Yue-cheong and the elders exchanged greetings, regretting the parting with Song Yeo-bang.
After leaving Cheonjungjeon, Yeobang Song was greeted at the gate and left Sapaecheon with his subordinates.
The place where they stopped to rest for a while when their procession was able to capture the nature of Sapaecheon at a glance after a long distance from Cheonjungsan.
The man who secretly joined the group without anyone noticing passed by the ten warriors who surrounded Song Yeo-bang in a circle and knelt down in front of Song Yeo-bang and bowed his head.
“Princess.”
