The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 536
belt ring.
The beautiful chilhyeongeum sound flows gently in the wide space.
To the tune, trees with white bark sway with their branches hanging down like weeping willows, and the floors decorated with cloisonne each shine brilliantly in the sunlight.
Tiriling.
The melody continues, and pink flowers blown by the wind fall to the floor and disappear like melting snow. Since the sky is the ceiling, the chirping of the birds flying toward the open space naturally blended into the melody, adding to the taste.
Jamiwon, or Cheonsanggung.
Named because the sky exists above the sky, the highest place in the world.
It is a small place with only two trees in the garden, but from there you can see the whole world.
The Jade Emperor, who is the seat of those called gods and presides over the fate of all things, is the owner of that place.
Chararak.
Wearing a jade-colored crown, the Jade Emperor enjoyed leisure sitting in the shade of a tree in the garden of the Heavenly Court as usual.
ttarang.
When the sound of the biwa sounded following the chilhyeongeum, a doorless space opened and a child, a blind man, appeared holding a bowl on a sapphire plate.
“oh!”
Seeing this, the Jade Emperor jumped up and let out an excited exclamation as if he had been waiting.
“Go ahead and bring it!”
“yes.”
At the Jade Emperor’s urging, the blind sighed and came closer. Meanwhile, Jade Emperor’s eyes were fixed on the food in the bowl on the cheongok plate.
He’s not even a baby who’s starved for three or three days, so how can he be so upset… … .
But what? The opponent is the supreme Jade Emperor.
It was one of Jade Emperor’s favorite foods, along with Seowangmo’s Seondo (仙桃). As the blind man approached, the Jade Emperor gulped down his saliva and hugged the fairy next to her.
“Come on! hurry!”
“yes.”
The fairy smiled lightly as if a flower bud was bursting, scooped up a spoonful of ice and snow with a silver spoon and brought it to the Jade Emperor’s mouth.
Float!
“…….”
What do you mean by this? There’s no way a chilhyeongeum or a pipa could make that kind of sound.
And even a slight vibration… … . Could it be thunder?
But more important than that was the food in front of my eyes, which would melt if I didn’t eat it in time, so I couldn’t taste it. The Jade Emperor opened her mouth wide again to greet her fairy’s spoon.
Now, again… … ah.
Float!
“…….”
The Heavenly Palace trembled with a much clearer sound than before.
Took.
“uh? uh huh this… … .”
Was the vibration a little strong? The ice and snow on the fairy’s spoon fell to the floor.
“…….”
Jade Emperor’s wide-open eyes were filled with sadness when he saw a spoonful of ice and snow in his screams. It didn’t take long for the sadness to turn to irritation and then to anger.
Kururureung.
Were those feelings conveyed as they were? The sky of the Heavenly Court was twisted in an instant, and black clouds gathered viciously.
“Who the hell… … .”
“Hey Jade Emperor.”
Before he could express his doubts, a part of the heavens of the Heavenly Court opened and a young general in platinum armor appeared and prostrated himself at the feet of the Jade Emperor.
칠성신군 (Seven Star God).
Just as Chilseong is located closest to the North Star, the center of the sky, it was the guardian deity that guarded Jamiwon closest.
“Who the hell is making a fuss!”
Jade Emperor shouted while fixing his gaze on the precious ice and snow that melted away from the floor, and Chilseong God immediately replied.
“Chun Si-won was upset.”
“Cheon Si-won? Why there?”
“That’s the two generals of the Northern Seven Counts… … .”
“North, General Du? Jinmu?”
“yes.”
The Jade Emperor suddenly raised his head with a distorted face.
Dujanggun Jinmu. How can you not know its name?
If you were to pick the most famous general in the world of heaven these days, anyone would pick him.
youngest! shortest time!
It was like that when he rose from a freshman to the level of a merchant ship, and it took only 10,000 years for him to become one of the generals in the celestial realm from a military soldier. He didn’t even have the dharma treasure to amplify his divine power yet.
Some predicted that if he had the treasure, he would match the power of the upper class. Perhaps because of that, there were many sayings among the immortals that they had given him some kind of preferential treatment.
However, everyone admits that among the guardians who protect the four directions of the present celestial world, the northern sevens are the most reliable. This is because Jinmu destroys all the monsters that come from the realm of the world as soon as they happen.
Of course, as much as his achievements, he had an accident… … .
“Why is he again!”
The face of the Jade Emperor, who recalled Jinmu, was distorted to the point where it couldn’t be more distorted.
As soon as he was ranked first, he gave his blood relative Euncheon, the selector, and almost destroyed him by defeating him.
Besides, when there were empty seats, they were all filled with guys like me.
Even when the goddamn bastards see seniors, they don’t say hello… … . guys who aren’t cheap.
However, everyone was doing their duty as straight as possible, so I couldn’t scold them.
But why does a guy who has been quiet for a while, a guy who is a merchant ship and two generals go to Cheonsiwon and make a fuss?
“Why is that guy Jinmu!”
When Jade Emperor, who had accumulated a lot of hardships, shouted out loud, Chilseong God replied with a puzzled expression.
“That is… … . We are demanding that Cheon Si-won’s two demons be placed on the first ship immediately.”
“Top line? Who the hell are those guys!?”
“It is said that he was the one who served as a teacher in the underworld and the one who was taken with him in private.”
“What is it? Such a crazy merchant ship! Even if he only lived ten thousand years, he still doesn’t know the reason of the sky! How can someone who has already become a demon be given the top rank!”
“…….”
“so? What are you doing? Send soldiers right away and subdue this thunder-naked bastard without kneeling in front of me!”
The Jade Emperor jumped up and gave an order, but the Chilsung Gods were more perplexed and did not move from the spot.
“Can’t you hear me!”
“Jade Emperor, I have already sent the Five Stars and the Three Elements. but… … .”
“but?”
“… … Everyone got hit.”
“What, what?”
The Jade Emperor was speechless for a moment in his absurdity.
Ohseongsingun and Samwonsingun were generals who guarded Jamiwon under the command of Chilseongsingun, and both of them had been on the merchant ships for a long time.
But did they lose? The ones who have the power that can be counted in the heavens?
“Jinmu, did you say that guy has become so strong already?”
“Your strength is still lacking, but your fighting ability is not lacking compared to mine.”
“What are you talking about! Even if you haven’t been to the top of the high priest for a while, how can a guy without a Dharma book compare with you?”
“If he had a Beopbo, I would have already… … .”
“…….”
Chilseong God blurted out the end of his words and quietly averted his gaze. The Jade Emperor twitched his eyes and caught his breath.
Glancing at them, the ice and snow brought by the blind man had already melted.
Damn, how precious is that… … . How long have I waited for the red ice cream to open!
But that wasn’t what mattered now.
“right now! come catch me! I’m the one who’s out there, show up and call them all! No, you go yourself!”
“I tried, but… … .”
“I did! what!? What are you talking about so much!”
“that is… … . Because General Du is holding someone hostage.”
“A pawn?”
“yes.”
“That’s someone!”
“This is Euncheon, the selection hall.”
“… … what?”
“I don’t know why he was there, but Jinmu held him hostage and said that if he didn’t listen to his demands, he would not only disappear but even destroy the Cheonsiwon… … .”
“this person… … this… … You crazy Jinmu bastard!”
“I am sorry to say this, but the Jade Emperor must go and see… … .”
“…….”
He was the Jade Emperor who ruled the heavens, but at this moment, he had no choice but to show a more ferocious face than the demons of the earth world.
“let’s go! Just my bastard!”
* * *
Cheonsiwon, a peaceful city where noble spirits spend their memories waiting for the time of reincarnation.
But now, the peace of the city was broken, and it was facing the worst situation since its birth.
“What a pair! I mean, make it to the top right now!”
It was because of Jinmu, who grabbed the crown of the selection officer Euncheon and ran amok on the road.
“Ji, you truly are two generals! Let’s do it with words, with words.”
“shut up! Are you saying this because you can’t put it into words!”
Sangseon Sagyeon, the chief executive officer of Cheon Siwon, tried to calm Jinmu’s anger by any means.
There was no other way. It has been a long time since the soldiers of the new army who ran from Jamiwon were horribly crushed, and aren’t the Oseong-gun and Samwon-gun still not waking up?
If I stimulated him further here, Siwon Cheon might really be crushed. Sagyeon first evacuated the nearby ghosts to a safe place, and pulled back the siege of the new soldiers for a long time.
“General Du, there is no way you can do this to us. you know? They are ghosts whose judgment has already been passed.”
“It’s a judgment, it’s a nabal, and I don’t know about that, so take care of it.”
“General Doo!”
“What a pair! sudden! Do you light a fire for everyone?”
“Oh, no. no.”
Sagyeon really felt like she was going to cry.
How are you going to calm that mad merchantman?
“uh? General?”
“……?”
At that time, a large general clad in white armor peeked out from behind the guard.
The moment he recognized him, Sagyeon felt as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness.
General Wu’s White Sheep. Born with great power, he was a person in the second highest position after General Du among the Seven Beasts of the Northern Territories.
“General Woo! Welcome! Welcome! Please dry General Doo.”
When the dog begged with a happy face, Baekyang bent her head.
“What the hell is this about?”
“General Du made too many demands… … .”
“Hmm, okay.”
“……?”
“You can ask me directly, what?”
“oh!”
Baekyang stopped Sagyeon’s words and approached Jinmu.
As a personal dog, I was very fortunate. No matter how crazy a merchant ship is, won’t you listen to the words of my subordinates whom I trust and follow?
“Leader!”
“uh? white poplar? Why are you here when you should be in the north?”
“Hey, it’s so quiet in the north… … But what is the captain doing with Cheon Si-won? What is this fuss about?”
“There is a ghostly spirit that will make you rank first.”
“Climbing line? A ghost who entered Cheonsiwon?”
“uh.”
“her! Doing something that doesn’t make sense… … .”
“If you’re going to nag, go away. or jump in to stop it. I have to grab the jade emperor by the collar and make it to the first place unconditionally.”
“Anyways, who the hell is that demon?”
“I’m going to go buy a date with the person who was my teacher in the underworld.”
“… … Hmm.”
At Jinmu’s words, Baekyang frowned for a moment, then nodded and said clearly.
“Then what, I have to go upstairs.”
“…….”
There was no worry.
Baekyang, who had become one side at once, took out her dharma jewel, a double-edged axe, and revealed her menacing eyes.
“hey! Why are you wearing it?”
“What do you mean? What’s wrong with subordinates saying they’ll follow the captain?”
“This child? If you do something wrong, you may be destroyed.”
“It’s a shame, if it weren’t for the captain, he’d have already been annihilated by the monsters.”
“Such a madman.”
Tung was annoyed, but he wasn’t offended by his help.
Baekyang, who was attacked by monsters in the past and was on the verge of extinction. When everyone else had given up, he jumped into the midst of monsters and saved them. Even after becoming General Woo, he remained loyal to himself.
To be honest, it was a bit reassuring.
“By the way, will you be okay alone? Shall I call the others?”
“Okay, this is my job. You go too!”
“How are you going to see this? Do you think Jamiwon knows this and stays alone? The Jade Emperor is quite scary.”
“It doesn’t matter, fuck. Either I die, Eun-chun dies, or Cheon Si-won dies.”
“Geuk, you really don’t have any countermeasures.”
Cheong-sang, who was restless next to Jin-mu, carefully opened his mouth to see Baek-yang shaking her head and laughing as if she couldn’t stop it.
“Hey, Sasook?”
“why?”
“Can I really do this?”
“what?”
“Even if Shinseon takes hostages… … .”
“…….”
Jinmu smiled at Cheongsang’s concern.
It shouldn’t be a hostage play. Should immortals bother people?
But this is fine.
It’s not a human thrill, it’s a god thrill.
