Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 554

[Episode 554] Shaman.

About four days had passed since we began to accompany each other.

In the middle, monsters popped out and hunted them, but nothing was too dangerous.

I could have done that if I was speeding up, but I didn’t move in a hurry.

Not only was there no need for it, but there were a few things to find out.

four days like that

We camped over and over and over time.

Before I knew it, I was facing a high mountain.

“Wow…”

Gu Ryeong-hwa expresses admiration as if he is curious.

The mountain in front of me looked strange, but I had to look at it with a puzzled expression.

“Wouldn’t it be strange if you were surprised to see a mountain?”

As Gu Ryeong-hwa is a disciple of the Volcano Sect, he must be familiar with the lofty mountains there.

It was amazing to see Wudang Mountain so surprised.

At that point, Gu Ryeong-hwa pouted her lips.

“…Not all mountains are the same.”

That’s right.

To me, that mountain or the volcanic mountain looked similar.

A mountain is a mountain.

I looked at the mountain in front of me and asked Youngpoong next to me.

“Where should I go now?”

After hearing the question, Youngpoong says.

“I contacted you in advance, so someone will come.”

“hmm.”

After hearing the words, I looked back into the street.

In the end, it meant that we had to wait until someone came.

“But the old small agreement.”

“yes.”

“I hear you have business here, so is it okay if I stay here with you?”

“Ah yes. Well… it’s not that urgent.”

It really was.

Because it was more important to know how the current situation is going than the current work.

I raised my head and looked at the high mountain.

This is where the munpa that represents this place is located.

‘shaman.’

non-partisan.

This is one of the old file rooms.

Domun where Mudang Geomseon, the current Murim lord, is the chief gatekeeper.

together.

‘Woo-hyeok should have brought him.’

At least it belonged to a guy who could be called a friend.

if there’s anything strange

‘It’s quite different from my previous life.’

The feeling is quite different from the shamans I’ve been to in my previous life.

This was a prefecture directly managed by the shaman.

As I remember, it was a place directly managed by Gupailbang, so it was a developed area in its own way.

‘It wasn’t like this.’

Now, it has changed beyond compare to the previous life.

‘The tops are lined up.’

The number of inns increased and the number of street vendors was full at first glance.

Even people who are full of adults and children.

‘It’s comparable to Hanam.’

Currently, Mt. Wudang has grown to be comparable to Hanam, where the headquarters of the Moorim League is located in Shaolin.

If you recall that there was not much difference from the volcanic wave in your previous life, this must be a huge difference.

and.

The reason for this difference is probably…

‘Is it because of the Murim Meng?’

The reason must be that the current leader is the master of the shaman.

‘No. It must be a deeper reason than that.’

Originally, becoming a leader wouldn’t make that much of a difference.

In fact, compared to the time when he was the leader of the previous generation, he could tell.

Just because he took the seat of the leader did not change the area that Jangga, who was born in, was in charge of.

But how did the shaman change so much?

The reason was simple.

‘Because times have changed.’

Even just a few years ago, it was an era of peace, and it was a leisurely day.

This led to a rift with the appearance of the red demonic scripture gate.

Cracks come and change comes. This tends to lead to anxiety.

Even at the peak, they are called masters.

It was the red monster that preyed on even the masters.

This meant that the ark was different from the blue monster that could be easily hunted even if it was first class.

Peace is broken and unrest arises.

The first thing such people look for is stability.

‘The stability that can be found in the anxiety of not knowing when a monster might run amok.’

Think about it and move your gaze. The number of people on the street.

Seeing that, this would be the stability they chose.

‘The place where the current Murim lord resides as a long-time official.’

the meaning of that word. There is an implicit meaning that management will be certain as much as that.

this coming soon.

‘They say that if something happens, they will respond as quickly as possible.’

Even if monsters appear, they will act quickly, so it means that they can be relatively safe.

Thanks to this periodic problem and the location of the shaman inspection, the current street has been revitalized.

The reason I looked was this.

‘Actually, it’s not just here.’

Not a shaman right now, but also a volcano in Seomyeon.

I heard that there are changes not only in Kunlun but also in areas with other prestigious families.

In particular, this place has changed enough to be excessive.

‘A huge change has already begun.’

It was no different that the world began to change as a crisis came.

I looked at the crowd of people and looked away again.

It felt like I didn’t want to look at the background for a long time anyway.

There.

‘It’s also not the time to look around.’

I put my gaze a little farther away.

A murmur is felt among the crowd of people.

It seemed to have come.

That many people start to move quickly.

The space created in this way became a road.

As I was walking down the street, I saw a group approaching.

Footsteps gather and gather to reach resonance.

The united presence doubles and subtly covers the air.

flutter.

Light blue coating that flutters with each step.

From the upright waist to the well-trained body and the thick pottery that can be felt along with the strong body.

In addition, the confident gait seemed to show their lofty pride.

-No partisan…!

The words that someone whispers are heard exceptionally loud.

Yes, they were the ones walking far away.

The descendents of the Taoist family, known as the old school and prestigious.

‘Non-partisan.’

Not long after we figured out their identity, they arrived in front of us.

The number is exactly ten.

I could see that it was made up of considerable masters who wanted to feel the prayer.

‘Everyone has reached their climax.’

Some mature climaxes are also seen.

The situation seems too extreme to be a simple reception.

Leaving people’s interested eyes behind him, the man in the lead takes a step forward.

“Are the guests from the Volcano School?”

As soon as he heard the words, Young Poong moved.

I grabbed my arm and blocked it as he was about to take a shot.

widely-!

“…!”

Youngpoong made a puzzled expression at this, but I continued talking without ignoring him.

“you’re right.”

“…Let’s say Ji-cheol, the second disciple of the shaman. I have been ordered to come to meet a guest.”

It wasn’t until I heard Ji-cheol introduce himself that I let go of Young-poong’s arm.

“My name is Yeongpoong, the third great disciple of the Volcano Sect.”

“I am Gu Ryeong-hwa, the second great disciple of the Volcano Sect.”

When the two of them finished their introduction, Ji-cheol turned his eyes and looked at me.

It was as if his eyes were asking who you were.

“Oh, this is Guyangcheon. This is my porter, don’t mind it.”

“…!”

This is what I said, referring to Seong-yul, who is actually carrying my burden.

Hearing my name, Ji-cheol’s eyes widen slightly. Just as I was about to leave, I heard a sound behind me.

-If it’s Guyangcheon… Is that Guyangcheon? A sword dragon next to it?

– As rumored to be a sword dragon, he is a handsome young man.

-That’s the small goat over there?

– They said I have eyes like a devil’s,

but the rumors were right.

‘Who was the last person who spoke in the middle?’

I’m not sure how the rumors spread.

‘I was quiet to erase it on purpose, but there are still things like that.’

I’m suppressing the irritation that rises subtly.

I feel the presence of looking at me with strange eyes in front of me.

It was Ji-cheol.

I felt his gaze and narrowed my eyes.

‘what?’

I was wondering if you were looking at me.

For some reason, I felt a bit of annoyance in his gaze.

Of course, it was only a moment.

Ji-cheol immediately withdrew his gaze, but I did not miss it.

‘Look at this bastard.’

Ji-cheol speaks to me as he quietly laughs.

“You are the famous soothsayer. You’ve heard the story. I’d say it’s an excellent review index.”

Especially, I felt the tone strongly in the word late index.

“I heard the story that there was business here. I hope you have a good rest.”

“Thank you for caring.”

Jicheol nodded slightly at the words he spit out with a smile.

“Since you must be tired from the long trip, I thought I would take you to a comfortable place. How are you?”

“I beg of you.”

I’ll end my greetings soon.

I wondered if he was going to the non-partisan faction as planned.

“Follow me.”

The place where I moved along the subway like that.

Surprisingly, it was not partisan.

******************

After taking half a step along the subway.

We were inside a building.

A somewhat high-class guesthouse.

The building was empty, but the inside was quiet and seemed to be well-maintained.

I had to put on a somewhat puzzled expression as I entered.

‘what.’

Please guide me, not a shaman, but a guesthouse.

Glancing to the side, Youngpoong’s expression wasn’t very good either.

It must be so.

‘I came to another door because I had work, but I couldn’t even enter the door and brought it to the inn.’

They pretended to treat their guests to some extent, but this was an act of utter disregard.

Youngpoong and Guryunghwa knew that, so they must have looked like that.

Around the time when a cool atmosphere descended on a slightly rotten expression.

Jicheol, who was sitting at the table, opened his mouth.

“First of all, apologize.”

It started with an apology.

“If it was originally, it would be right to take it to the main body. The current text is in a confusing situation, so I was forced to bring it here.”

Ji-cheol started to explain the situation as if he knew that the situation was wrong.

“You mean work?”

Youngpoong asks with a frown, which is rare, and Jicheol continues.

“exactly. Currently, it is difficult to bring in outsiders, so please understand.”

“…What is that?”

“After a simple verification process, I will leave the inn and go to the shaman, so please cooperate.”

Youngpoong’s expression was not at all embarrassed.

It’s an unexpected thing to do, so it could be like that.

Seeing that, I also had to tilt my head.

It’s a verification process.

‘Did something happen to the shaman?’

When I see it coming out like that, I wonder if something is going on.

Aside from that, things weren’t looking very good right now.

‘I said that the momentum was sharp, but they didn’t just come to meet me.’

He said he was coming with a particularly strong presence.

‘Are you trying to suppress the baseline?’

It bothered me from the first meeting.

Ji-cheol intentionally delayed introducing himself.

Since it can be seen that Youngpoong is a junior, it is correct to take an example first.

At the point when it was certain that the meeting came from different gates, the fact that they had been trying to receive it from the past without saying hello.

‘I’m going to catch that first.’

It definitely means that he tried to take the position of A.

That’s why I stopped Young Wind earlier.

‘It could just be a misunderstanding.’

Looking at what I’m doing now, I don’t think that’s the case.

‘It’s okay just by looking at the conversation.’

I could tell just by listening to what Ji-cheol said to Young-poong.

Even if it seems like a little courtesy.

There is clearly an attitude of condescension in the words.

Of course, he took action without explaining in advance.

I was forcing it as if I wanted to understand.

Even more so, he even counter-threatening that if he cooperates with the work, he will let him go to the shaman properly.

To me, it was no different than trying to drink water on purpose.

the problem is.

“…what do you mean cooperating?”

Young Poong is not properly responding to this.

‘Tsk…’

As Youngpoong was a first-time midfielder, it was only natural that he was so immature.

From my point of view, it was just cramped.

‘This won’t work.’

Seeing that spirit, he let out a small sigh.

I was just trying to keep an eye on what Youngpoong would do.

If I leave it like this, I think I will only see more bad things.

‘I didn’t want to interfere.’

I was trying to get over it in moderation.

It didn’t seem right.

Youngpoong asked Jicheol what to say, feeling uncomfortable about something.

Ji-cheol slightly raises the corner of his mouth and continues talking.

“First of all, the people of the volcano…”

“Before that, there’s something I’d like to ask.”

Ji-cheol’s face frowns when his words are cut off in the middle.

He didn’t seem to like it when he interrupted the conversation.

Ji-cheol looks at me with an expressionless expression.

The emotion of what he is doing is clear in his eyes.

“…You mean?”

The question filled me with an uncomfortable feeling.

“I’ve been curious about it since before. I guess I should ask.”

“What is it?”

Seeing Ji-cheol’s face like that, I said with a wide smile.

“Are you buying it?”

“…?”

Ji-cheol put on a dumbfounded expression.

It looked like he wanted to hear it wrong.

“…What…” ”

No, I asked because the way the people do it is handled exactly the way you do.”

“what?”

“I think making people feel like shit with the tone of eating concept rice is just the way you feel. I’m sorry if I’m wrong. It must have been my mistake. Haha!”

He smiles and gestures, but after a while.

After hearing my words, Ji-cheol’s expression gradually began to distort into a ferocious expression.

Soon, the moment he tried to raise his body as if he was about to scream.

“Puff…” The

atmosphere suddenly becomes tense at the sound of laughter heard somewhere.

All eyes were focused in the direction from which the laughter was heard.

There was a commanding officer covering his mouth with an expression of regret.

“…Ah sorry…I don’t know…..”

Gu Ryeong-hwa shyly spit out the words.

It was already too late to fix it.
