The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 535
Episode 5
“Cheonsiwon (天市垣) is the lowest place in the heavenly world.”
“okay.”
Cheongsang nodded his head at the explanation of the ten-ryeong (十靈) belonging to the Cheonsiwon Registration Office who had been contacted in advance.
Still, it seemed that he was a shaman and cared for him. It wasn’t enough that they gave us a shield, so they even attached us to a guide. Even at the age of ten.
The ten spirits are pure souls who have lived without shame in the sky for ten reincarnations, with a position directly below the immortal who manages the heavenly world.
It’s clear and clean… It’s a lot of talk…
“Is it a city where ghosts and spirits live?”
“Gwicheonryeong?”
“yes.”
“Because not everyone rises to the ranks of immortals like Cheongsangseon.”
“Ah…”
The puzzled young man nodded his head. If you think about it, isn’t it said that Chungwoo, who died while polishing the sword for the rest of his life, couldn’t become a Taoist Taoist?
“Even though this Cheonsiwon looks like this, it is the largest in the world of Heaven in terms of scale.”
Jinmu laughed at Cheongsang, who nodded his head like an enthusiastic schoolboy after every word of the ten-ryeong.
He was tired of living here for 10,000 years and knew all about it.
There are a lot of things I don’t know because I’m just in the middle of the day, so the guide of a guy who is full of words like that seemed to be the best.
“The scale of this place is closely related to the situation in the summer world.”
“Come summer?”
“yes.”
“How?”
“Things like war. At that time, the number of ghost spirits skyrocketed. Didn’t you hear that the true blue merchant also contributed to stopping the great upheaval that occurred in the underworld ten thousand years ago?”
“yes?”
“He solved the confusion caused by a person born with the fate of that great evil…”
“Ah!”
Recognizing that the story was about Han Moo-hwa, Chung-sang nodded.
“You are truly wonderful. Indeed, if General Doo, who was next to us, hadn’t been active, the eastern sector of Cheonsiwon might have exploded.”
“okay.”
“Oh, just thinking about that time makes me dizzy.”
At the words of the ten-ryeong, Cheong-sang looked at Jinmu with a look of respect.
Sasuk is really great. In the underworld, he is admired by the emperor and his people, and in the heavenly world, he is so revered by the ancestors
.
“However, if the number of dead continues to increase, the scale of Cheonsiwon will continue to grow.”
“Oh, no.”
“yes?”
“The ghosts and spirits have a fixed lifespan. Unlike humans, who grow old and build memories in the underworld, ghosts and spirits gradually lose their memories in Cheonsiwon.”
“Do you lose your memory?”
“yes. And when you lose all your memories, you pass through the door of reincarnation and reincarnate in your own image. It is to live the life of the lower world again. That balance is maintained.”
“ah!”
“Except for special situations like General Du, who comes back to life with his memories as soon as he dies, most of these processes…” “
Hey!”
In the middle of an exciting explanation, the 10-ryeong suddenly shut up at Jinmu’s screams.
“Where are you going to uselessly explain something that only needs to be said? I’m afraid I’ll just destroy it.”
“…I’m sorry. But what am I doing wrong?”
“…”
Wrong? no If I had to pick one, would it be the snout?
The story he wanted to tell was about HyeokryunMugang, who was reincarnated as the body of the deceased Seonhui. It was a story that was quite famous even in the heavens because it happened only once in tens of thousands of years.
but! Cheongsang has no idea if he was a Revolutionary Warlord.
There’s nothing wrong with knowing something, but what’s the good thing about knowing?
Think about it. Where did all the respect in the eyes of the blue sky come from? It’s all because I watched Dodong’s body reach the point of nothingness from the side.
But in fact, it was the Revolutionary War? That’s not it. Don’t you feel like you’ve done something wrong?
Yeah, I’m going to put a bluff at this point. If I find those who say that they are revolutionaries or reincarnations, they will rip their mouths out.
So that Cheongsang would never know…
“Sasuk.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you suddenly angry?”
“Ah… What is anger? Hot hot hot!”
“…”
Jinmu smiled and was about to slip over, but Cheongsang smiled and asked.
“Is it because of the past that it was a military power in the revolution?”
“Of course, that… Huh?”
“…”
Jinmu, who had been nodding his head in a casual manner, widened his eyes in surprise at Cheongsang’s words.
“Heh, that’s right. I asked again why?”
“…how do you do that?”
“A thousand grand bargains.”
“Thousands… who?”
“Have you already forgotten? Cheon Woo-myeong Dae-hyeop, who was Sa-suk’s subordinate.”
“Woomyeong?”
“yes. After Sasuk passed away, when he got drunk, he proudly boasted that he had revived Sasuk with the herb of immortality?”
“…”
“I didn’t believe it at first, but the original ark, Gabuja, and Salmakgju already knew it.”
Oh yeah?
Jinmu looked at Cheongsang with blank eyes.
I see. It was a story everyone knew, but I felt my feet go numb all by myself.
You didn’t even know that… You didn’t even know that you knew everything, and you made me come pretending not to.
Sell the plague.
There was no way to withstand the rushing embarrassment, so I was looking at the distant sky, but at that moment, the ten-ryeong stopped walking.
“Oh, there it is.”
He pointed to the small and cozy Cho-ok.
In an ordinary place, no different from other Cho-ok, a fat ghost with a familiar body was sitting on a bench.
“The author was what General Doo and Seon Cheong were looking for…”
“Cheongwoo!”
Before the ten-ryeong’s explanation was finished, Cheong-sang, who recognized Chung-woo, couldn’t contain his joy and ran away in a hurry.
“Cheongwoo, you bastard! You were alive.”
“…”
It seems like you were very happy. To say he was alive after seeing a dead man…
But.
“Who are you?”
“…uh?”
“Who are you? And who else is Cheongwoo?”
“Yes?”
Cheng-wu frowned and let go of the cheng-sang who was holding him tightly.
“The blue ship.”
“…?”
“I am a demon who is already waiting for the time of reincarnation. There are no memories of the past. Neither the Cheongsangseon can remember General Du.”
“ah!”
As if he couldn’t believe the words of the ten-ryeong, the blue-haired man sat down with a sad look in his eyes and shed tears.
Jinmoo was heartbroken to see that appearance, but he did not lose his boldness as he had already been in the top rank for a long time.
“There is nothing to be sad about. The heart that longed for Chung-woo, what should I do? That it is the law of the sky…”
“It’s a pity. The fact that Chung-woo doesn’t remember us…”
“…guy.”
Jinmu lightly patted Cheongsang on the shoulder to comfort him.
In fact, Cheongsang only cried.
When a person dies, the memories of his life are recalled like a lantern, and the memories imprinted in the process cannot be forgotten even when he becomes a sage. Shouldn’t it be a bit clearer?
So it will be even more sad. Because the one who remembers everything is looking at the one who forgets everything. It would be savage and pitiful.
“It’s black and white.”
“One guy. stop crying The guy who transcended emotions and became a sage is so weak-minded… he should be bold.”
“Heukheuk…”
“But how fortunate are you? Even though he didn’t finish the first place, isn’t it said that he is now reincarnated because he has lived a good life?”
“But…”
“You bastard, do you think there are only one or two worse than Chungwoo? Those who go to the nether world due to their sinful karma in the lower world suffer in the body of a youkai without even reincarnating. Compared to that, how fortunate is Chungwoo?”
“…”
After Jinmu wiped his back several times, Cheongsang barely swallowed his tears.
“Are you okay now?”
“yes.”
“Yes, hehe.”
After appeasing Cheong-sang, Jin-mu glanced at Cheong-wu, who was making a puzzled expression, and asked Sip-ryeong.
“Look.”
“Yes, General Doo.”
“Has that child’s reincarnation been decided?”
“Let’s see…”
The ten-ryeong opened the book in her bosom and flipped through it.
“Oh, here you are. Since he usually had a gluttonous appetite, he seems to have been assigned a seat suitable for that.”
“Where is that?”
With a slight hesitation, the ten-ryeong opened her mouth.
“In the Forbidden City Imperial Palace…”
“Oh! Imperial Palace? Do you mean the imperial family?”
“yes.”
“That went well! If I do, will I be born into the royal family?”
“yes? No, that’s not…”
“No? So, self-restraint instead of what?”
“Not really, but I probably won’t go hungry for the rest of my life.”
“Is that true? ah i’m so glad Sasuk.”
“Heh heh, that’s all. yes, which house is it? I should have even prayed for my blessing…”
“Yes?”
At Jinmu’s words, Sipryeong blinked her eyes with a puzzled expression.
“why?”
“That’s…”
“…?”
“That… the pigs raised in the barn in the imperial palace…”
“Huh?”
“yes?”
“Fifth out of 10…”
“…”
Silence flowed for a moment at Cheongwoo’s reincarnated place, which was quite embarrassing, and Cheongsang’s face gradually distorted.
“Oh my gosh, Chungwoo! You’re so gluttonous, but you end up turning into a pig!”
Soon, his loud wails resonated throughout Cho-ok.
“…”
Jinmu looked at Cheongsang with a complicated gaze.
To hear Chung-woo become a pig… It’s too obvious, no shock. However, if that is Chung-woo’s fate, it must be fate.
It hurts to become an animal, but it’s also a pity to be raised well and go into someone’s belly.
Jinmu, who had regained his composure, soothed Cheongsang again.
“Cheongsang, stop it. This is also the principle of heaven.”
“What are you doing, Sa Soowook? Chungwoo is our Cheongwoo…!”
“Oh hey! Didn’t I tell you to be bold?”
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
Jinmu scolded him with a solemn expression, but Cheongsang couldn’t stop crying.
“Whoa, that guy…”
Yes, cry. How can a good man not have sorrow? Cry when you want to cry After crying hard, you will grow up again.
Jinmu let out a short sigh and patted him on the shoulder.
“really! There is one more person that General Doo might know.”
“huh?”
profit.
At that moment, the door of Cho-ok opened and someone appeared.
“Oh, you’re coming just in time.”
Jimmu’s face hardened for an instant as he glanced at the door at the words of the ten-ryeong.
“Would you like to find out?”
“….”
How could I not know that familiar face, that gentle smile.
He’s the person I’ve been wanting to see the whole time, but every time I think of it, my eyes burn red
.
“Who are you?”
The moment I heard his voice, tears poured down like a dam burst.
“Khunghung Master!”
Because he was my teacher.
In the end, Jinmudo sat down next to Cheongsang and began to wail loudly, telling Cheon Siwon to leave.
“Who the hell are you…”
“Ahhhhh How could you forget me!”
Even Cheongsang, who was crying next to Jinmu, looked at him sadly with wet eyes as he saw Jinmu crying as if he were about to faint.
“Sa Soo-wook hehe, what do you do with this? Master Myeongjin and Chungwoo… uhhhh!”
“Kuhhhhh!”
As a teenager watching, this situation was embarrassing.
No, even if Cheongsang, who just became a sage, is like that, how could a person who even holds the title of General Du in one of the few merchant ships in heaven cry like a child?
“Two generals. It’s difficult if you do this. If you do something wrong, the memories of the ghosts and heavenly spirits will be confused…”
Before the ten spirits could finish, Jinmu and Cheongsang turned their heads at the same time and glared at him as if they were going to eat him.
“shut up! You ten-year-old bastard!”
“…”
General Doo? merchant ship? What does all that mean? Myung-jin doesn’t remember himself!
No, and why can someone like Master Myeongjin be a ghost?
Ichigo, Nabal, and Jinmu of the sky promised to make Myeongjin a freshman, and inevitably went there, but someone entered Cho-ok.
“Isn’t that General Du? I got a call from my wind fan. You’ll be here… Huh? uh huh?”
“…”
Euncheon, the screening officer who arrived at Cheon Siwon to meet Jinmu just in time, hesitated at the terrifying look in Jinmu’s eyes.
“Who is this? Isn’t that the selector? Did you? Did you bring Master Myungjin here too?”
“…”
At Jinmu’s death, Euncheon took a backward step at the same speed as she had been coming.
Hey, look at you, General.
It’s not that I’m so afraid to open my eyes while shedding tears.
“You are right there. I’m going to see the very end today.”
yes? Me?
Seeing Jinmu stop crying and approaching with an angry expression, the screening officer Euncheon thought.
Oh fuck… even if I get this wrong, I think I got it wrong for a long time…
