The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 532
Episode 2
“…!”
Jinmu looked at the drowning old man and Cheongmu alternately with wide open eyes.
Cheongsang…? Are you an old man?
When I stared at Cheongmu with questioning eyes, he smiled brightly and nodded his head. cheongsang is right
This guy, this guy finally made it to the top! He raised the name of the shaman’s sword by winning the first place in a row!
Emotions that have not been shaken by anything since rising to the level of a merchant ship are boiling. It was around the time that nostalgic memories filled up and covered my vision.
“Look here, Jinmu.”
“…yes?”
“It’s good to struggle with longing, but if you let it go, you’ll die again.”
Jinmu suddenly came to his senses at Cheongmu’s calm laugh.
probably won’t die Should someone who is already dead die? If it perishes to that extent, it is not fresh. One… heavy water rushing through the mouth and nose must be quite painful.
Pak!
Jinmu immediately stepped on the railing of the pavilion and flew over the water.
“Cheongsang!”
“Ogorororo suasuwoouk gureuuk kukkkuk.”
In the past, he always answered the question of liquidation, so he gave an answer even while drinking water.
shut your mouth dude Then you will eat all the heavy water.
Jinmu, who ran as if flying over the surface of the water, pulled out the floundering blue statue at once and hugged him tightly.
“Cheongsang, you bastard! Heh heh heh heh!”
“…Suasuuk.”
“Yes yes! Nice to meet you too! Nice to meet you too!”
As Jinmu put more strength into the arm he was holding, as if he were going to release all the swearing, Cheongsang, who had been still, struggled.
“I feel good… Sua Soo-wook.”
“…”
Oh sorry. I was so happy that I was overpowered.
“Come on, you bastard! Let’s go up to Sangchunjeong Pavilion and hear how they lived.”
“Nong.”
Jinmu held Cheongsang’s hand tightly and returned to Sangchunjeong.
“Heh heh heh heh.”
And he immediately used a seongi to dry not only the soaked clothes of Cheongsang, who sat down and exhaled, but also his hair.
After calming down to a certain extent, Jinmu smiled and filled a glass with fresh wine, and Cheongsang asked carefully.
“But who are these people?”
“Ah, the grown-up Punghwan will know… Have you heard of this person? Cheongmu.”
“Chung… Heo Eok! Are you saying that you are the inspector of the Ministry of Justice?”
“uh.”
Cheongsang, who widened his eyes at Jinmu’s answer, showed his manners.
“The shaman’s cheongsang sees you!”
“Heh heh yes yes. It feels good to see the younger students.”
Cheongmu nodded happily, and Cheongsang lowered his head once more as if he was embarrassed and moved his gaze to Seonhui.
“If so, this person too?”
“…”
Everyone looked at Cheongsang and Seonhwi alternately with puzzled expressions.
So… how do I explain this…
“Oh, he’s… eh?”
“yes?”
“That means I am him and he is also me, so what are you talking about… You’ve become Mr. A. It’s complicated for nothing. Anyway, how have you been?”
“Oh, there was nothing wrong with it. Ever since Sasuk passed away, I was at peace and rather bored.”
“Good thing. I heard you had a good time.”
Jinmu nodded with a happy face, and Cheongsang shook his head.
“I was looking for a way to finish first, but I didn’t know that I actually did.”
Well, that’s something no one would have expected.
Cheongsang has no way of knowing, but if his life only existed as Jinmu, he didn’t know, but didn’t the life of Hyeokryeon Mu-gang be added?
The karma accumulated is not one or two, and the karma accumulated in the heavens is not small, so it is not strange to be punished by falling to the earth….
But do I need to explain?
Jinmu just smiled.
“Didn’t you do that too? And how to get on top? It just came suddenly, suddenly.”
“Suddenly?”
“okay. like being pulled by a dog. Ah-oh! Even thinking about it now makes me mad again. I was just trying to adapt to the world.”
When Jinmu trembled with his fists and openly glared at Cheongmu, he averted his gaze and sighed.
“Hey, this guy. Do you still have remnants from what happened ten thousand years ago?”
Punghwan laughed and shook his head at the sight of this repeated for ten thousand years.
“Still? Even these days, just thinking about that makes me jump up and out of bed.”
“That person. How can you not change your personality when you have already risen to the level of a merchant ship?”
“If you change, you die.”
“Aren’t you already dead?”
“That’s right…”
“That’s enough. Thinking back on stopping you then… Huh, I met the selector not too long ago, and he says he still gets cold sweats when he thinks of you.”
“Tsk, that kid is okay. I hope it will be like that for another ten thousand years.”
“The original person is also his child to the screening officer… Now, get a drink.”
Punghwan laughed at Jinmu, who opened and closed his fists, and filled his cup with a smile. Cheongsang, who was listening to their conversation next to him, carefully raised his hand and asked if he was curious about something.
“Sasuk over there?”
“huh? Why do you have something to ask?”
“I don’t understand that.”
“…?”
“It’s been 10,000 years since you won the top prize… what?”
“That’s the word. What else could it mean?”
“yes?”
“It’s been 10,000 years since I finished first.”
“…Yes?”
The blue statue blinked wide-open eyes with a face that did not understand. Well, I did just that. Because he was like that at first.
“ivory.”
“Yes?”
“You will know it naturally, but the flow of time between the heavenly world and the underworld is different.”
“….”
“Sometimes it flows quickly and sometimes it flows slowly. While you are growing old, ten thousand years have passed in the celestial realm.”
“Ah… that could be it?”
“okay. Well, there are cases where it’s the other way around. Even in the short time we share a drink, there are times when the time of the summer passes quickly.”
“Yes…”
He nodded and answered, but judging by the look on his face, he still didn’t seem to understand.
Well, as time goes by, you will understand it naturally, so there is no need to explain further.
Jinmu shrugged his shoulders and asked what he had been curious about.
“But you were the first to die?”
“no. Chungwoo went first a long time ago.”
“Cheongwoo?”
“yes.”
“Aren’t you younger than me?”
“Don’t you know Sasuk too? Because I love food so much, I suffered from diabetes and complications before I was 50, and I stopped after suffering…” “
Ah!”
Even though I blurted out the back story, I fully understood.
Oh Chungwoo. Poor guy.
Wasn’t this guy, who had the constitution to gain weight just by eating grass, like a fish in water after he tasted meat?
At that time, he was one of the best Buappi (trustworthy and familiar) at Haewolgak, which gave unlimited meat, and how much he ate after that.
It is said that obesity is the root of all diseases, but in the end, gluttony caused anger. If I knew that, I would not teach meat, just let them eat grass for the rest of their lives
.
Jinmu turned his head and looked at Cheongmu.
“Cheongwoo didn’t come?”
“Well, you didn’t come to Sagyesan?”
“Hmm…”
That meant that I couldn’t make it to the top line.
But it doesn’t matter. There’s no way that naive and simple-minded bastard had more sins than good deeds, so he probably shouldn’t have had it. Even if you didn’t make it to the top line, you must have gone to Cheonsiwon (天市垣), a city where people who came to heaven live.
It’s like I received a vice-failure belatedly, but if I look for it now, I’ll be able to meet it.
“The others?”
“Everyone went first. How old are you?”
As Cheongsang spoke softly and smiled, Jinmu’s eyes became dim.
In the end, everyone died.
What are you guys in such a hurry to do… enjoy a world without any problems and live a little longer?
Jinmu felt sorry for him, but Cheongsang continued.
“Among the people Sasook remembers, Unyeon is the only one alive.”
“A coincidence? Yayul is that guy?”
“yes.”
“…”
Wait a minute, this is a bit strange, isn’t it? I don’t think everyone died early because of the plague.
“…How old are you?”
“I ate one hundred and sixty this year. He must have been recorded as the longest-serving guru in the history of shamanism.”
“….”
Isn’t it used to the young and cheerful Cheongsang laughing like an old man…? wait what? how old?
“One hundred and sixty ships? Did you live that long? So, are you saying that Ungong lived longer than that old man?”
“yes.”
“…”
My head suddenly went blank. He lived for less than ten years with 80 jinmu during the Revolutionary War, did he live 160 years?
Then, isn’t fate that even that guy lives to around 150?
“What a pair!”
Jinmu turned his head as if his neck would break, and at the same time, Cheongmu avoided his gaze at the same speed.
“This inspirational man is real! Won’t you turn your head? did you hear One hundred and sixty! One hundred and sixty! uh!?”
“…”
When Jinmu’s eyes fluttered, Cheongmu laughed awkwardly and began to sweat, and Funghwan, who was aware of his fiery personality, quickly hugged Jinmu.
“This person is doing this again. stop please Isn’t Jangchun Gok-ju in trouble?”
“Leave this! what a pair! Wasn’t it so bad that I lived a few more years? uh? No matter how fleeting it may be for ten thousand years, it should have allowed me to live for at least a hundred years! uh!?”
“Keep calm! How are you doing this in a good position with a high rank?”
“this person…!”
As Jinmu struggled wildly, his cup on the table trembled dangerously and fell over.
Then Seonhui, who was an accomplice in the incident, quickly took the overturned glass and filled it up. Perhaps because of the crime he had committed, he shook his hands violently, and the overflowing liquor flowed down his glass.
“Now, have a drink. It’s fresh wine specially steeped by Jangchungokju. I guess the flowers were soaked for you when they bloomed the prettiest and left for a thousand years? come on, let’s drink I’m sorry, and I’m sorry again.”
“…”
I barely endured it.
a thousand years? What is the big deal? I’m putting up with this because of the blues. Because today is a monumental day when he won first place.
Just wait and see, I’ll definitely get my revenge later.
“Whoa whoa…”
He took a deep breath and grabbed the overflowing cup and poured it into his mouth at once.
A refreshing feeling fills the mouth and then gently passes into the throat, and the feeling of boiling anger subsides… Is Sinseonju really the truth?
After drinking a few more drinks, the real Jinmu cleared his throat and said,
“Now, drink too. Starting tomorrow, I will stay at Sagyesan Mountain and tell you all about it, so let’s get drunk today.”
“Yes Sasook!”
Cheongsang and Jinmu emptied the fresh wine, giving and receiving.
Cheongmu diligently brought new wine for his distant students, and Seonhui served snacks whenever the plate was empty. Of course, Punghwan was anxious and nervous, fearing that Jinmu would have another seizure.
While happily emptying his glass, Jinmu suddenly fell into thought.
Anyway, where are the rest of the people who came before Cheongsang?
Except for the special recruitment, Cheongsang was ranked first, and even if it was assumed that Cheongwoo was in Cheonsiwon, most of the rest were Sapa warriors who had lived by killing
.
I’ll have to look for it. If everyone had died, their souls would have gone somewhere
.
At this point, let’s find Master and everyone else. The boundary between heaven and earth is clear, so you can’t directly recognize it, but isn’t there a suitable person at the right time?
“Lord Han Bing.”
“Huh?”
When Jinmu called with his eyes wide open as if he was drunk, Punghwan swallowed his saliva and answered.
“Do you know where he is?”
“Who who?”
“It’s a selection hall.”
“…”
He’s not human, he’s a freshman… But why ask? Jinmu What is
this damn bastard going to do again? No matter how much you reach the Merchant Ship and become General Du, the leader of the Seven Swords of the North, there is no way the Jade Emperor will let you go.
“I don’t know. Heh heh heh heh.”
“…”
As Punghwan answered with an awkward smile, Jinmu’s eyes narrowed even more.
“Ugh, where are you going to lie…. Your eyes know everything.”
“Haha, man. I really don’t know.”
bang!
Jinmu hit the liquor table roughly with his fist and laughed eeriely.
“You know my temper, right?”
“….”
Seeing Jinmu, who did not stop at the words, leaning his upper body slightly while putting strength on both hands, Cheongmu Seonhui and Punghwan’s complexion turned white at the same time.
“You really don’t know?”
“Mo don’t know. I’m busy these days…”
“Isn’t it? Do you think you know?”
“Because you don’t know?”
“Then can you contact me?”
“Communication? oh no How can I, the owner of Hanbinggok, keep in touch with a high-ranking person like you?”
“….”
An old man who has lived as a guru all his life and is not good at lying is calling it acting?
“You won’t regret it, will you?”
“That grum. You really don’t know, so what regrets do you have?”
“Oh yeah?”
Jinmu tore his lips all the way up and rolled them up, revealing white fangs after a long time.
“Hey!”
Wow Changchang!
Punghwan knocked his butt off in surprise at the towering statue, and Cheongmu and Seonhwi, who tried to escape quickly by taking advantage of it, caught their hair in Jinmu’s hand… Jinmu roared vigorously
.
“What a pair! We don’t know how long, but let’s see! I have to go to the Jade Emperor and grab him by the collar so that you know what kind of person I am? Huh!?”
“You are not human, but fresh…”
“Shut up!”
Cheongsang smiled as he blankly watched Jinmu screaming loudly from one side and starting to run amok.
“Even if Sasuk ranks first, it’s just Sasuk…”
With that, the party to celebrate his ranking was over, but somehow he felt good.
It seemed as if the memories of the 20-year-old or so that had been forgotten in the past 160 years were emerging.
Memories of those days when each day was fun…
