The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 160

The interior of the Great Pavilion, with dozens of beautiful wooden pillars supporting the roof and a three-story ceiling pierced through.

It was indeed gigantic enough to match the prestige of Cheon Woong-bang, the loser of Gansuk.

In the middle of it, on the left and right of the central aisle made of bluestone, old masters stood in line.

At Taesa Temple, which was placed at the far end of Cheongseok Road, sat a middle-aged soldier with a face tinged with a subtle reddish hue like that of Hong-ok.

He was the owner of Gansuk, called the Five Kings of Sapae, and was the Queen of Heaven’s Ark, standing shoulder to shoulder with the seven stars of the government.

It had already come to the time when he had to give up his position to his son and step down, but he was still upright and looked straight and overflowing with the pulpit.

“Ark! What kind of small is that!”

Elder Gyeongcheon-dong, who was at the back of the line, opened his eyes wide and shouted.

“It is as you hear.”

Gyeongcheon-dong’s face twisted at the sight of Won Gonghu’s reply without changing his expression.

“It is nonsense. Please withdraw your decision.”

“It can’t be.”

“Ark!”

It was very impolite for Gyeongcheon-dong to shout in front of the ark, his face reddening, but no one blamed him.

It was because the decision after Won Gong was shocking.

“Elder Lord Ark is right. Please reconsider.”

In place of Gyeongcheon-dong, who couldn’t say what he wanted to say because of his annoyance, the chief Gong Pyeong-moo stepped in.

“My decision remains unchanged.”

At Duke Won’s words, the faces of the elders standing in a row in front of him all contorted.

It was because he was well aware of the stubborn personality of Duke Won, who had been with him for a long time.

A chilly silence envelops the Grand Pavilion in Cheonwoong’s room.

“father!”

Five people who were unable to attend the meeting due to Duke Won’s instructions.

At the forefront was the eldest son and firefighter Won Won-ho, and the four following were also the proud sons of Duke Won, who grew up as key military men in Cheonungbang.

It was the future of Cheonungbang, whose reputation was such that they were called Gansuk Ohho (天雄五虎) in the world.

In particular, the firefighter was a military man who showed outstanding achievements to the extent that he realized his will before the age of 30.

When they entered, Won Gong Hu’s brow furrowed.

“I told you not to attend!”

Prince Won’s voice raised slightly, as if he was displeased, but Won Won-ho and his younger siblings didn’t mind and walked over and knelt down in front of him.

“father.”

“…”

“Is it true that you have decided to go alone?”

To Won Won Ho’s question, Gong Hu Won did not answer and avoided his gaze.

“Wrong decision.”

“Shut up!”

“The little ones can’t follow.”

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up!”

The higher voice became a high pitch and the Daejeon Pavilion reverberated, but Won Won-ho did not change his expression and looked straight at Won-gonghu.

“Unlike other Sapa factions that appear and disappear repeatedly, Cheonungbang is a faction that has ruled Gansu with a long history and tradition.”

“….”

“The elders of Cheonwoongbang and numerous warriors have never had a single question against the decision made by my father.”

“Um…”

“I heard that even when my father built Sapaecheon with Sahwang, our Cheonungbang was always willing to shed blood at the forefront.”

As Won Won-ho’s powerful words spread throughout Daejeon, the elders’ eyes lit up and their fists clenched.

“After the death of the Emperor, what did Liu Yueching, who succeeded him, do? Who of the elders who spoke the truth remain?”

“….”

“Yu Yueching only served my interests and shook the nature of Sapaecheon with a group of people who said good things to my ears.

Gonghu Won closed his eyes and frowned at Won Won-ho’s words that continued in silence.

“But I can never abide by the current decision.”

“…”

“Did we look so weak that we could live and survive by relying on our father’s shadow?”

“…”

“We will fight together. Even if we die, we will die fighting together on the battlefield.”

Flames spewed out of Wonho’s eyes.

Won Gong-hu sighed deeply at his appearance and spoke softly as if to soothe him.

“You guys! How can I not know that? But the opponent is a thousand and one thousand people.”

* * *

What? thousand… who?

Jinmu, who hid in the shadow of the ceiling of the Daejeon Pavilion, pretending to be a thief cat he had never played in his life to listen to the contents of the meeting, almost screamed.

No, why did that idiot’s name come out all of a sudden?

It is Chun Woo Ming who is coming from Sapae Chun to attack Chun Woong Bang?

What the hell is this all about?

* * *

“Chun-ho, the entire Iron Sword team is coming with him. Don’t you know him too?”

“You know. I used to respect him, but not anymore.”

“….”

“I realized that it is stupidity, not honesty, to believe that loyalty is only to protect the name of Sapaecheon, which was created by the deceased Four Emperors, without being able to judge what is right or wrong, so I no longer respect it.”

“Cheonho.”

“Father, how could you be so weak? Where did the spirit go when you proudly said what you had in front of the four emperors? It was more dangerous then than it is now. Don’t you even think about fighting now?”

“Hey Cheonho. How can you compare him to the present Lord of Heaven?”

“yes. There is no comparison. He was someone who could get angry and act out his own way, but still listen to those around him.”

“…”

“Father. This is Sapaecheon now, where my father was disappointed. Even if my father gave up his life and we survive, how can we bow our heads to Yue-cheong Yue?”

“Cheonho.”

Gonghu Won twists his face, but Wonho Won pulls out the knife he had been laying next to him and puts it on the floor.

The sharp blue-forged blade glowed white, as if it was thirsting for blood right away.

Not only that, but all the other sons were doing the same thing.

“What are these guys doing!”

When Won Gong-hu jumped up and let out a roar, the Great War shook as if it were about to collapse.

“Father, although I am not a military commander, I have learned about the determination to go to the battlefield with multiple camps.”

“This guy!”

Duke Won knew what his son wanted to say, so even his beard was shaking.

“If you are prepared to risk my father’s death and go alone, you would rather behead me and go. I would rather die than obey the command to beg for my life. Please do not leave it in the hands of the enemy and cut it yourself.”

“Please cut me down!”

Won Won-ho bowed and fell on his face, and the rest of his sons followed suit.

“How dare you…”

He had been a duke who had stubbornly carried out his will even if a knife was stabbed at his throat all his life, but his son could not do anything about it.

It wasn’t something I heard about as a fan.

He intended to end it on his own.

It was true that he rebelled against Sapaecheon, but it was unexpected in his nature that Chunwoomyeong would come with the entire iron sword.

No matter how stupid he was, he thought that since he had seen and heard the wrong things, he would try to correct them if he turned around.

However, Cheon Woo-myeong believed that obeying the command of the Heavenly Father was loyalty, and that he was loyal to the dead emperor.

An honest but stupid person.

A stubborn man who runs to the end to fulfill the orders given to him like a horse blindfolded.

Of course, that’s not his fault.

It is also because he is only carrying out his will in his own way.

However, even Cheon Woong-bang, who had reigned as the loser of Gansuk, was no match for the Iron Sword.

Cheon Woo-myeong is also Cheon Woo-myeong, but aren’t the iron swordsmen the ghosts of the battlefield raised by the fourth emperor, Hyeokryunmu-gang?

Even if they suffer damage, they will do their best to fulfill the order given to them, and Cheonungbang will surely collapse.

So, Gonghu Won was thinking of going out alone.

Begging is a disgrace, but it was believed that it was the way to continue the history of Cheonungbang.

In particular, my son, Won Won-ho, was an outstanding child who could make a name for himself in the midfield later.

So, I had to live.

He also harbored a ray of hope that if Cheon Woo-myeong changed his mind because of his death, he would lead Sa-pae-cheon to the right path.

But how can they become children and not understand the heart of their father?

“Please reconsider the ark.”

“That’s right. By lunchtime tomorrow, the Iron Blades will arrive. We must hurry up and deploy our troops.”

Is it because of Wonho?

Even the elders lined up in two rows knelt down and bowed their heads.

As if to cut their own throats.

“Even you…”

Won Gonghu clenched his fists and let out a deep sigh.

In the end, stubbornness is broken.

It’s something I’ve never broken in my life.

Because of his own sons…

* * *

“Chun Woo-myeong you crazy bastard!”

Jinmu, who felt that the blood in his eyes would burst if he listened any longer, hurriedly escaped the Daejeon Pavilion.

Are you an iron sword?

Why is it that the iron swords are coming to subdue Cheonungbang in Sapaecheon?

No, if a disciple makes a wrong decision, he will come to you with a knife directly to the plate that will not be enough even if you stop him?

I couldn’t get enough of my anger, so I felt like the lid was about to open.

“What the hell are you doing when you entrusted Sapae-cheon, such a damn stupid bastard!”

Jinmu poured out all sorts of swear words, thinking of Yu Wolcheong, his disciple.

Let’s go back to the abode for now.

I couldn’t stand it without getting the drink down my throat.

OK. Cheonwoo’s baby’s baby. Come on.

I need to look at your face and listen to what you have been through.

At the residence where Jinmu returned with a sigh, Dang Se-ryeong and Un-am were having a drinking party, and Jeok Saeng-dae was still sitting there with a worried face on his face.

“alcohol!”

As soon as he arrived, Dang Se-ryeong handed him a bottle of alcohol at the sight of Jinmu looking for alcohol.

He emptied a bottle of alcohol without even eating a snack, but his raging anger did not subside.

“One more bottle!”

“…”

After emptying three bottles in a row, he wiped the alcohol off his lips.

“These bastards. Just leave me alone.”

Jinmu hurriedly entered the room and closed the door as if it were about to break.

bang!

“Here you go again. You won’t be able to ask what’s going on?”

Unam, who hadn’t said a word since Jinmu was pulling out murderous thoughts with his hideous eyes, looked at Dang Se-ryeong.

And Dang Se-ryeong nodded and frowned.

Just like the last time, I am running rampant this time alone.

“Mujin-sama really seems to have the same personality as the Great Sea.”

What kind of dog is this guru talking about eating grass?

Is it like a big ocean?

Where do you see that Jinmu and Daehae have the same personality?

When Dang Se-ryeong looked at him with a bewildered look, Unam murmured.

“One day is so calm that there is no end in sight to embrace everything, and another day turns terrifying like a stormy sea and is unpredictable?”

“…hmm.”

Dang Se-ryeong nodded.

Come to think of it, it was plausible. It seemed that it would be hard to find any more expression than that if it compared to Jinmu’s personality, which is unpredictable and behaves arbitrarily.

Is it because he is also a disciple of Taoism?

It feels very dizzy in the metaphor.

To put it in a good way, I didn’t feel like I was turning it around a bit.

But Jinmu got angry and shut his mouth, so I couldn’t understand what the hell was going on.

No, don’t you have to tell me to know?
