The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 502
Episode 2
“Hehe, congratulations on becoming this great disciple.”
“…”
Yayulseong looked at the squarely folded appliqué, the Taegeuk pattern engraved on the sword, and the well-trimmed wooden sword that were sticking out in front of his eyes with a puzzled expression.
“Hehe, do you have any aspirations about what kind of guru you will become in the future?”
“No… Not really…”
“Heh heh, without thinking about it. I’ve been watching closely during my last training, but you really have great talent. So you can be a little more ambitious. Being innocent is not necessarily a good thing.”
“….”
What does this kid like so much that he keeps laughing empty-handedly?
Is it because his name is Jinheo?
He was said to be Jin Heo-ja, the head of Wonhwagwan and one of the elders.
Did you say that it oversees the shaman’s internal housekeeping and the training of the entrant?
last ten days.
Time passed as if he was blind to Maparam, and Yayulseong was able to put his name on the list of shaman’s thieves.
Was it because it wasn’t really the time to receive students?
Excitedly, he handed over his main job to a practitioner, and thanks to Jinheoja attached to him, he was able to reduce the one-month training period to ten days.
“So, do you have any ideas?”
“yes?”
“Your course of action.”
“…”
Yayulseong just blinked, and Jinheo, who had been staring at him, smacked his forehead with a smile.
“Oh dear. take a look at my mind I didn’t even announce the introductor’s choice, that’s right.”
“….”
Introducer Optional?
What is it?
As Yayulseong tilted his head, Jinheo began to explain carefully.
“Disciples who enter our shaman have to go through a certain training period and go to each palace to receive a second training. It was a procedure made after Jinmuja, the former shaman and lord of Oryong Palace, came up with an opinion.”
“okay.”
“However, it will be a bit more difficult than the training you received from me. After all, what each palace wants is different.”
“…”
Yayul-seong laughed inwardly at the words that required determination.
It’s hard….
What’s so hard about that training?
If you knew what life was like, you would never say such a thing.
“Since you don’t understand, I will explain step by step.”
“….”
“Our shaman has seven palaces and two coffins except Jaso Palace. After a period of training, the practitioner chooses one of them, undergoes training again, and receives a formal enlightenment. First of all, our Wonhwa Hall…”
“….”
Jinheo gave a long and tedious explanation of each palace, starting with the fact that the palace was restored and transferred to the Eight Palaces again due to rich finances.
Hana Yayulseong had already decided where to go.
“…If I had to say one last thing, come to our Wonhwa Hall. I’m not saying this because I’m the owner of the Wonhwa Palace, but in our Wonhwa Hall, where people like you take care of the housekeeping…” ”
I want to go to Ohryonggung.”
“What is perfect… Huh? what?”
“Oryonggung.”
“….”
Jin-heo widened his eyes at Ya Yul-seong’s answer, which cut off his words in the middle.
“Heh heh heh. You don’t seem to know what to do…”
“I decided while entering the shaman. I’m going to go to the Oryong Palace where Jinmu’s dojo is.”
“…”
Jin-heo, who had been looking at Yayul-seong talking boldly, stopped laughing and said with a serious expression.
“Hey… you’ll regret it.”
“…”
“Look. It’s not something I’d say to my apprentice after training, but think carefully before making a decision. You don’t give up on life so easily.”
As the words continue, it becomes the expression of a desperate parent trying to stop a child from going beyond seriousness to death.
give up your life?
Are you saying that training is difficult?
See how hard it is.
Again, compared to his own pitiful life, the training to become a guru would be nothing.
“Oryonggung… Huh, think again.”
“There is nothing to do or think about. Isn’t the palace owner there at the Jinmu Dojo?”
“That’s right. It’s been a while since I handed the shaman’s sword to the cheong-sang and didn’t show my face, but that’s how it is for now.”
“Then it is done. Didn’t you say it’s OK to be ambitious? I want to become a disciple of Jinmu Dojo and receive instruction.”
“…”
Jin-heo sighed deeply after staring at him for a long time as he solidified his point with his eyes shining.
“Haha, those eyes. I couldn’t help it. It’s dog poop… no, they say they choose the thorny road… I get it. Pack your things and go to the Dragon Palace.”
“thank you.”
When Jin-heo waved his hand as if he was in trouble and asked him to leave, Yayul-seong bowed and retreated.
“Damn, I expected this guy to be overflowing with talent… Then another talented person will leave the shaman. A sneer came to
Yayulseong
‘s lips as he heard the murmuring as he closed the door.
leave? I?
crazy sound.
Don’t worry. No matter what adversity, he will definitely learn superior martial arts than Jinmu.
But what happened?
Even the shaman masters outside looked at him with worried eyes.
Is there something like pity?
“Go to the Ohryonggung.”
“what? Why?”
“I guess living without knowing is annoying.”
“That’s too bad. I’ve heard the princess praising her talent many times…”
“What can I do? which is your own choice. I hope you don’t have any trouble… countless number of Buddhas.”
“I hope to survive… countless number of Buddhas.”
“…”
Everyone says the same thing with the same expression.
A sincere Doho following the prayer for survival.
Why are you guys doing that?
It was only for a moment that I felt uneasy at the questionable reaction I experienced throughout the entirety of the Wonhwa Hall.
Yayulseong packed his things at the training center and immediately headed for Oryonggung.
It is about taking the first step.
Jinmu.
To the place where his history began, Chungheoam.
Myeongjin Jinmu Cheongsang.
A shaman’s guardian who produced the best of shamans over three generations.
Yayulseong’s heart beat faster as he approached Ohryonggung.
wait.
No matter how hard it is or how painful it is, persevere and overcome it even if you grit your teeth.
Becoming stronger and stronger, I will definitely
surpass
Jinmura
.
Right in front of the cliff near Oryonggung, which was heading along the ridge.
A guru with an overly good appearance, or flesh, was sitting there munching on beef jerky.
It’s like a pig… isn’t it?
If it’s a guru who has that kind of figure in Ohryonggung…
“What are you?”
“…yes?”
“What?”
The narrow eyes that were so thin that it was difficult to use the word pupil came toward him.
“Oh, I’m Yayulseong… I applied for the Ohryonggung this time…”
“Huh? Are you a trainee?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, I haven’t heard of a new recruit coming…” ”
…”
The guru, who tilted his head left and right despite not having a neck, lifted up his thick cheeks and smiled.
“nice to meet. I am Cheongwoo.”
“Blue…”
Yayul-seong’s eyes widened when he saw the swollen hands approaching him with embarrassment.
Also… that’s it!
If it’s something related to Jinmu, how can you not know about Yulseong, who has memorized everything?
An unsalted martial artist who was always mentioned along with Jinmu.
Cheong-woo, a seven-star character who is said to have risen to the ranks of the best shamans along with shaman prosecutor Cheong-sang.
“Nice to meet you. It is wildness.”
Ya Yul-seong quickly reached out both hands and grabbed Chung-woo’s thick hand.
“Yayul? It’s an unusual surname.”
“…”
I was startled for a moment.
The cold air seemed to run through the whole body
.
You must doubt yourself and look through those eyes that can’t even see properly.
also a master
Maybe it was because I was too worried about the first mountain climbing procedure, which was lax.
Following Jinmu, it is Ohryonggung with its famous Cheongsang and Cheongwoo.
It’s better to pay more attention to your words and actions…
“You…”
She swallowed dry saliva nervously at Chungwoo’s narrow eyes.
“You have nothing to eat?”
“…to?”
“I don’t smell anything. No smell…”
“…”
I’m sure the atmosphere was enough to make me fat just now…
Cheng-wu’s body shrunk like a deflated ball with a clenched tongue.
That expression… Disappointment?
“Mr. Wonhwagwan is also true. If the finances are sufficient, I will not send the newcomer a little something to eat.”
“…”
“Damn, I ran out of beef jerky.”
Like a baby, he inflates his cheeks and grumbles with his mouth sticking out.
Could it be that you bastard…
did you find something to eat?
“You have to go directly to AC and ask him to serve it.”
“….”
Ya Yul-seong’s eyes widened again when he saw Chung-woo, who suddenly stood up.
I didn’t know it when I was sitting….
What’s so big?
It was to the extent that even the person who never heard of being small anywhere threw his head back on his own.
In an instant, he gulped at the enormous body that cast shadows around him.
“What are you doing? go see It’s the first day, so go and rest.”
“Ah yes. What…”
“Unhyeon!”
“yes!”
“…?”
At Chungwoo’s call, something suddenly raised its head from under the cliff.
“Heh heh!”
I was really surprised.
He obviously didn’t feel anything…
but he suddenly jumped up and down as if he was bouncing off a cliff, and he looked at him with an absurd expression.
haggard face.
Eyes widened as if tired.
All the clothes I’m wearing in the middle of the day are torn… is it?
“It’s a rookie.”
“ah!”
The eyes of a beggar named Unhyeon, who opened his mouth wide at Chungwoo’s words, showed pity in his eyes.
“Because it’s the first day, you guide me here and there. Don’t forget to explain how you’re going to get along.”
“yes! Sasuk!”
Unhyeon suddenly lowered his head in response, then approached Yayulseong and held out his hand.
what? Shall we shake hands with those dirty hands?
“load.”
“…”
“Follow me.”
Yayulseong slightly squinted one eye at the blunt words.
When did you say you saw it?
But be patient.
But don’t forget your name and face.
On the day I wipe out the shaman later, I will be the first to dig out his eyes and rip his mouth out so that he will regret his response.
“Then see you later.”
“Oh yes.”
Yayulseong followed Unhyeon, leaving Cheongwu behind as he greeted him.
The two soon arrived in front of a huge gymnasium and a magnificent building built in front of it.
“uh? How are you at this hour?”
Yayulseong exclaimed at the huge building, but unlike the beggar who came with him, a guru dressed in a starched robe spoke up.
“Ah death penalty.”
“It looks like today’s training is over.”
“Still… a new trainee arrived, so the boss told me to guide him to the accommodation.”
“okay.”
At Unhyeon’s words, the guru gazed at Yayulseong with a soft gaze.
“Good for you. Please guide me and come and rest in the shade.”
“yes?”
“are you okay. Take a break at a time like this. When is it easy? If Sasook says something, I will say that I asked for sparring.”
“execution!”
Unhyeon, who had been coldly greeted by the guru’s smile, soon made an expression as if he was about to burst into tears.
Is the word “rest” so touching?
In the meantime, those eyes mixed with envy and respect…
It doesn’t seem like a simple punishment.
“What are you doing? Come on, follow me!”
“….”
Unhyeon, who was getting cold again, calmed down.
The accommodation he arrived at was a huge room that could accommodate almost twenty people.
“Unpack and rest in the last seat over there.”
“…Haa, don’t you speak in moderation? No matter how first you entered it, you’re still not in a formal relationship with the death penalty.”
Annoyed by the continued banter, he replied bluntly, but Unhyeon suddenly laughed wickedly.
what? split what?
“Yes, it is not the death penalty yet. Anyway, get a good night’s sleep, even from now on…”
“…”
Yayul-seong stared at Unhyeon’s back as he left after saying something meaningful, then shook his head.
There are so many different types of dogs.
Sleeping when the sun hasn’t even set yet?
Is it a new type of territorialism…
Well, I’ll beat you anyway. wait and see
After clenching his fists and making up his mind again, he simply packed his things and lay down on the bed.
Whoa, it took a long time.
I’ve been back for a while, but it doesn’t matter.
You shaman, who accepted me so easily, will one day hit the ground…
the ground…
….
Kkokkio!
Pak papapak!
What are you talking about?
Following the crow of chickens, the sense of turmoil twitched his heavy eyelids.
It was dark outside before the sun had fully risen.
By the way, the bed… Ah.
It seemed that he had fallen asleep without realizing it while reminiscing about the past yesterday.
Ye Yul-seong, who squirmedly got up, looked around the inside of the dorm with a puzzled expression.
weird.
why no one
More than twenty beds.
If someone slept, there should be signs of lying next to them or at least waking up
.
ah! This seems to be a bed for trainees.
Wonhwagwan recently said that they were the only trainees, so it must have been used alone.
“Whoa, you woke up too early. It seems that the daily routine hasn’t started yet, so I’m going to visit the Dragon Palace…”
Yulseong, who had just woken up from his seat, noticed a huge shadow in front of the door and stopped hesitantly.
That big guy… Cheongwoo dojang?
no this is not the time
If you want to make a good impression, make a bright greeting…
“Hello, Chungwoo Dojang
.
“weird. Unhyeon explained in detail that the training starts today, but why are you still in bed?”
“…”
Huh? explanation?
what explanation?
“ah! You’ve been smoking nonsense since day one, aren’t you?”
Ya Yul-seong’s eyes, which had been standing with a bewildered expression at the words he didn’t know, were filled with clear eyes for an instant.
what what! what’s so fast?
Are you sure you were at the door?
And in that flashing hand… A club?
“Sasuk always told me. Learning anything with your body is the fastest way.”
“Yes?”
“like this!”
Whoa!
The club fell all over his body without a chance to defend himself.
Fast!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“You must have been told to get up early! I will fix your laziness first according to the teachings of my sasuk!”
I’ve never heard of that, you pig!
Unhyeon, Nabal, and no one to me…!
Wow! Fuck!
no shit Humanly, avoid bones…!
Having been brutally beaten since the first day, Yulseong realized the meaning of Unhyeon’s mysterious smile the day before.
Unhyeon This bastard must be on purpose….
Missed! Bump! Bump!
“Kwaeeeek!”
kill.
I will definitely kill you!
