The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 68

I feel warmth on my face. Is the sun shining down?

It seems to be in a pretty sunny place.

In the hot sun pouring into the closed eyelids, I frowned a lot… huh?

Why am I feeling this vividly? At that time, he obviously couldn’t stop the rampage of Zhuk Rong… Could it be that he didn’t disappear?

“…!”

The moment I realized that I was alive, my eyes flashed.

Turning my head, I saw a body without a single wound.

And this outfit…

it wasn’t a black armor or a black uniform. A white robe, like the feathers of a blind man’s feathers.

I didn’t understand it at all. Why…

[was up?]

“…?”

someone has spoken

But when I turned my head, there was nothing.

[What are you looking for?]

“…?”

Someone or something to talk to.

It was a clear voice in my ears… but I didn’t feel the distance.

It seemed like it was close, but it felt like it was infinitely far away.

[If you’re looking for the dragon’s son, don’t worry. because I’m sleeping right now You’ll be fine when you wake up after a good rest.]

Son of the dragon? Are you talking about women?

[The iron has disappeared. The fire has melted everything.]

I couldn’t tell who was talking, but I understood what he meant.

It was just rare. It was just a voice, but it reminded me of a smiling expression. I didn’t even see it with my own eyes…

“Who are you?”

Jinmu looked at the sky and asked cautiously.

It was a cheerful and light voice, but for some reason I felt a sense of awe.

[You are more polite than you think? I’m surprised I didn’t think I had that kind of personality.]

“…Do you know me?”

[Not from the beginning. Ever since you contained harmony?]

You said you contained harmony?

I? when?

[I didn’t know that the crazy thing that combines divine and magical powers would succeed.]

Ah…

but how are you talking about that time?

It was when the fight against the demons was in full swing that the Shinma-Hunil was achieved. Even the Jade Emperor said that he could not know the affairs of Jigye…

“Then, is this place Jigye?”

[boundary? Isn’t it?]

“Then?”

[Budo (符都).]

“Budo…?”

[Yes.]

Jinmu’s eyes widened slightly as if wondering.

where I first heard of it. A city that supports the will of Heaven (天符)….

[Don’t worry, it’s a different place than the one divided by the division of heaven, earth, and man.]

“Yes? then?”

[In other words, they are separate.]

“Is it separate?”

[okay. Well, to put it simply… Should I say it’s a place that exists in the gap you’re talking about?]

“…”

I didn’t understand.

[Don’t understand. You can’t understand even if you listen to my explanation anyway.]

The voice seemed to be laughing.

It was obvious that I was ignoring it, but I didn’t feel bad in the slightest.

As if nodding his head at the words, ‘As if the sun rises in the east’, I thought it was natural.

“But how am I here? I’m sure then…”

I thought I had reached an eternal rest, in other words extinction due to the rampage of Zengyong.

[I almost died. If it weren’t for the dragon’s offspring, it would have really perished. The flame of zucchini is hotter than anything else… I don’t know why, but the dragon’s offspring brought you here. I allowed Zhuk Rong to rest.]

“…Are you free?”

[Oh, is that the name now? That’s right, he risked his life to bring you here. Maybe it’s something only he can do right now? It’s because he’s the only one with the power of the Shinsoo.]

“…”

The more we talked, the more I was puzzled, let alone understood.

However, it was clear that he had a higher status than him, seeing as he looked down on the son of the dragon, who was said to have existed from the beginning.

But why did Yeoui know about this place called Budo?

[That father’s hometown.]

“Yes?”

As if the voice was reading Jinmu’s mind, he answered without even asking.

[All divine beasts were born here.]

“Ah!”

[However, it is a place where children are not allowed.]

“You said you weren’t allowed?”

[Yes.]

It was strange.

It’s true that Yeoui brought it, but it wasn’t allowed?

[Because he had harmony.]

“What do you mean by that?”

The voice fell silent for a moment at Jinmu’s question, then clicked his tongue briefly.

[Tsk, do you have a lot of questions? I don’t understand anyway.]

“I’m sorry.”

[It’s okay, because at some point you’ll suddenly realize. Anyway, I’ll explain.]

“….”

[He allowed me to come back the moment I decided to sacrifice myself to save you.]

“Me? why…?”

[Because you are Margo’s son.]

Margo? who else is that?

There were only words that were difficult to understand.

[Margot is Margo.]

“….”

[Basic harmony. He is the father of the sky, the mother of the earth, and the owner of this world.]

“….”

[Mixing the sky and the earth with a snoring sound and pushing the sky up with a stretch. It’s bright when you open your eyes and dark when you close them, making day and night, and scratching your back creates mountains and rivers along the furrows

.

[It’s just like that. Accept it without understanding.]

“Could that be the creator god?”

[Creator? What else is that? Is Margo just Margo?]

“….”

Jinmu, who had only heard unnecessary scoldings, pouted like a child.

If you listen to it roughly, the sky, the earth, the day and the night, the mountains and the rivers… You’re right.

After all, isn’t that a far superior being than the Jade Emperor or Gwimo, who are called absolute gods?

After all, they have existed from generation to generation, but they did not live forever.

By the way, the voice clearly called himself Mago’s son.

why?

During the Revolutionary War, their parents were heartless people who abandoned their newborn babies, and during the Jinmu period, their parents were slash-and-burn farmers who perished.

[My destiny changed after I had harmony.]

“Yes?”

[This is the beginning of the world and the place where Margo sleeps. A world of harmony?]

“…”

[Actually, you were just a descendant. However, the moment I realized harmony, my fate changed.]

“…”

[It continued. A long time ago, there were many of them here too. Those born after Margo permeated the world and returned to harmony.]

“…”

[I took a part of myself and spread it outside. Sons died and sons and sons and sons were born. That’s how my memory faded and I lost my strength and became normal. That’s the offspring.]

“Ah…”

I finally understood a little bit.

“Are they… human?”

[That’s right, that’s how they were called.]

“Then what about the heavens and the earth?”

[Those who realized a part of harmony among the countless offspring.]

“Do you understand?”

[Yes, those who realized the bright in harmony are in the bright place, those who realized the dark are in the dark… That’s how your world is divided.] “

…I see. That’s how the Three Realms was created.”

[that’s right. But since they have opposite powers, they say they only fight every day. Well, it didn’t matter to me, but it didn’t seem to be Margot.]

“Yes?”

[They were born one day, the ones you call Shinsoo.]

“….”

[Then they went out into the world and started getting involved. As a neutral, balancing role. And after fulfilling that role, it permeated the world. They are originally born with that fate. Thanks to them, the world was divided into three and became peaceful.]

Jinmu nodded and suddenly remembered the words of the Jade Emperor.

“Do you have a new sword called Hyeonmu?”

[Hyeonmu?]

“Yes, the Jade Emperor of the Heavens says that my destiny is connected there…”

[Pup! What does the stupid Jade Emperor know? A narrow-minded guy who thinks that goodness and brightness are the best?]

“Is that so?”

Jinmu laughed shyly at the harsh evaluation of his voice.

I never thought I would rate Jade Emperor that way.

[The Jade Emperor and Gwimo that you are talking about are only half-realized in the end. It’s imperfect.]

Imperfect… Well, it’s because he himself admitted to making mistakes.

[They don’t know anything. Do you know that they have existed from the beginning? That’s why I judged you by only the fate of Hyeon-moo.]

“Then, are you saying that all of them have human origins?”

[that’s right. Although they have lost their power, they are the only ones who have it all. You have a choice. Do you go to the light place or the dark place? You know it well because you’ve lived as a human, right?]

“…”

Thinking about it, it seemed like that.

Things like the division of jeongsama or the division of good and evil. In the end, it just depends on how you choose the starting point.

Also, the celestial world and the earthly world are eventually maintained with the resources of the human world.

Those who took off their bodies and returned to the spirit were filled according to the classification of good and evil, and those who realized more among them became gods… But in the end, everyone started from human beings.

“Hey, by the way, aren’t the Jade Emperor and Gwimo actually existing people?”

[That’s right.]

“So…”

[They changed the reason.]

“Yes?”

[Because he believes himself to be a god.]

“….”

[It’s self-replicating. Like a plant, it makes seeds, and the seeds are born at the same time as it dies. But it’s not the same because it changes little by little. They are what they are made for. But no one knows what the origin was.]

“Well then, did your mother know about it now? About its origins?”

[Your mother? There’s no way I know.]

“Yes? But she must have recorded the beginning of the blue flame, no, the remnants of Zhuk Rong…”

[That’s Weirok.]

“It’s a lie?”

[of course. How can you know the beginning of something like Zhuk Yong? I don’t know exactly.]

“…”

[He was just a descendant after all, he was just someone who realized differently. Unlike Jade Emperor or Gwimo, he must have done some research because he wanted to get closer to the beginning. An idiot treats harmony as chaos just because he

only peeped at it.] Through questions and answers with a voice laughing endlessly, Jinmu’s doubts were gradually resolved.

The truth is still ambiguous, but he also seemed to be able to peep like Zhuk-yong. Should I say that I learned about more than that?

And the moment I realized that, the surroundings were illuminated as if another eye had been opened.

What was considered light was neither light nor dark. Just like Margot did, when I opened my eyes, it seemed like daytime, and when I closed them, it seemed like nighttime.

In the end, it’s just a matter of cognition.

In addition, a row of mountains and a wide field river… A huge shape was vaguely overlapping on the majestic nature.

I couldn’t tell if it was a human or an animal, but it was as cozy as a mother’s arms.

The world was Margot itself.

And the identity of the voice speaking to him was a gigantic tree so huge that it was impossible to even guess how far it stretched.

[Can you see me?]

“I see.”

see.

The mind becomes calm and the voice calms down. I felt more comfortable than ever.

And I remembered what I had to do.

It just was. Should I say that I realized it myself?

[…are you thinking of going?]

“Maybe…”

[Just take a break? It doesn’t matter now, does it?]

“It’s a problem caused by me after all.”

[Nonsense. It’s because of the ear hair, not you.]

Jinmu just smiled at the pouting giant tree’s voice.

[I won’t be able to come back.]

“I guess so.”

[Wouldn’t that be easy? You seem to have felt the harmony just now, but that’s not enough. They are stronger than I thought.]

“But I have to put them back.”

[Why are you doing that? Will Margot see? Gods will be born soon.]

“I know.”

[But why go?]

“Because it will take a long time.”

[It’s just a moment of conversation?]

“In that moment, the human world is experiencing the pain of a hundred years, and a thousand years have passed in the heaven world.”

[What does it matter?]

“As you said, it might be because I am Margo’s son.”

Jinmu’s slightly parted lips gleamed with new fangs.

[Do whatever you want. And this is a gift.]

“…?”

What fell off was a branch. branch of a giant tree.

[They won’t listen because they’re narrow-minded. You have to have a stick to beat me. It will help you until you realize perfect harmony. I put the dragon that saved you there too.]

“Thank you.”

[Damn, it was nice to have a friend… stop it.]

“Yes.”

Jinmu bent down and grabbed a branch.

new woman.

Then he put his hand on the giant tree.

Swoop.

A gust of wind blew from somewhere, and Jinmu’s body was blown away.
