[Episode 553] Shaman.

Hearing Yeongpoong’s words, he had to close his eyes.

“Who is…?”

It’s because I didn’t understand what you just said.

Whose successor did you become?

‘Did I hear correctly?’

No matter how much I thought about it, I seemed to have heard it wrong.

Then, Youngpoong said to me with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“You don’t know who Volcanic Swordsman is?”

“No… explain that first.”

I think I heard the nickname right.

At least I had to see if the volcanic sword that Yeongpoong was talking about and the volcanic sword I knew were correct.

“Hwasan Seongeom is the 8th greatest scholar of the Volcano Sect.”

…Oops.

“He was one of the five heroes who stopped the blood demons during the blood demon war in the past.”

Wow….

“Even now, if you were to select the best swordsman of all time, every one of them is a respected great man of the Volcano Sect, Twenty… Sohyup?”

“…”

Youngpoong saw my face and called me cautiously.

It was because the more I listened to the explanation, the more my face was distorted.

‘I guess that’s right.’

No matter how much I heard it, it seemed that the volcanic sword that Youngpung knew and the senile old man I knew were the same person.

then.

‘But what does that mean?’

But then what did Young Poong say?

‘Huin?’

Youngpoong is out of the blue a successor to the Hwasan Sword.

I was in a situation where I couldn’t understand properly while listening to Youngpoong’s words.

Why is he a descendant?

‘No, no…’

It wasn’t strange to ask.

‘Though he’s better than me.’

Rather than me, who had no roots in the first place, Youngpoong, who is known as the best talent in the volcano, was right.

The swordplay is the same, and the bets are the same.

The difference is that the old man has a temper like a dog chaban.

Youngpoong is probably not like that.

one.

‘The latter is me.’

I could say

That I am the descendant of the old man.

‘If it’s not me, who else will do it.’

Shinnoya’s karma that he wanted to escape from in the past.

Now, it was the same road I wanted to go.

I was Noya’s righteousness.

Blood demons will also be blocked for that path.

as much as you think so.

I had to understand the true meaning of what Yeongpoong was saying.

“…why did you suddenly think that way?”

I ask you to speak carefully.

Youngpoong clears his throat a few times before continuing to talk to me.

“There was a chance.”

“yes.”

Know.

Anyone who sees Yeongpoong today will think that way. What’s important is what the relationship is.

“Do you know about the rumors that have been spreading lately about the former Sohyeop?”

“What if?”

“The news that accidents are happening at the Moorimmaeng branch in each region. Right now, Guangdong also said that something happened a few days ago.”

“…Ah um. yes.”

It was something I knew well.

can’t know

“It’s been about half a year, but… By the time the rumor spread, there was movement on the west side of the island as well.”

“Movement?”

“yes. It was something that Meng asked for support.”

Originally, there was a volcano faction in Seomseo, so there was no need for a branch of the Murimmaeng.

Same with the past Black Night Palace.

It was at this point that a branch of the Murim Meng was created in Shaanxi as Shaman Geomseon became the leader and had to place a branch of the Meng in each region.

“…that’s where I put in a request for support.”

“you’re right. It was a request to help with reconnaissance and sentry in case something happened.”

“So.”

“It was a blind request, and at the time of Jira, plum inspectors stepped forward.”

Although the Volcano faction was not a pro-Murim alliance, it was definitely a political faction. The Murim Maeng’s request was a part that had to be granted.

So, it means that some plum inspectors were dispatched for reconnaissance.

“Then… maybe then?”

“…you’re right.”

As I spit out my prediction, Youngpoong nodded.

“…At the time, I was circling outside the volcanic wave for reconnaissance. During our reconnaissance, we came across a cave by chance.”

“It’s a cave.”

“Yes, it was the first time I saw it. I went in to figure out the situation… and that’s what I found there.”

“What?” “His traces.”

Here, the ‘him’ that Yeongpoong refers to must clearly refer to the traces of Shincheol, the volcanic sword.

What this means.

Can we say that Yeongpung found Shin Noya’s remarks and disrespectful things during his reconnaissance?

‘Remark.’

I guess that’s what it means right now.

I had to question that statement.

“Are you saying you haven’t found Vigo yet?”

If Vigo was to be discovered while reconnaissance, it should have been discovered and protected by the Volcano Squad.

Did you find out by now? It was just a little odd.

At these words, Youngpoong said.

“It was a rather remote area, although it was a seomseogi.”

“…you made a remark in a remote area?”

After all, he made a note not near the volcano wave, but in a distant area even in Shaanxi.

When I said it with a question, Yeongpoong tilted his head and said.

“Isn’t that strange?”

“No, but…”

Since there was no need to create Vigo within the Volcanic Wave, it had to be irrelevant as Youngpung said.

but.

‘I don’t think he left anything behind, given the old man’s personality.’

In terms of Shinnoya’s usual words and feelings.

I don’t think I left anything for later, and even if I did, I don’t think I would have left it far away from the volcanic wave.

Of course, this is my position, not Young Poong’s.

Youngpoong about this.

“Because the predecessor Jang Moon-in must have been a wise man, he must have had a will.”

“…”

I couldn’t bear to say anything when Yeongpoong’s eyes lit up.

By the way, your ancestors aren’t that wise. can’t you say that

He forced himself to swallow and asked for another word.

“…well anyway. So what? Are you saying that the painting of the dojang’s body now has something to do with Vigo’s work?”

“ah.”

Youngpoong also said as if he forgot about my words.

“When I went inside, the booklet along with the elixirs left by the master writer of the previous generation…”

“A booklet?”

“yes? Ah yes.”

When he said it as if he was interrupting, Youngpoong showed a puzzled face.

“What was written there?”

“…that.”

At the question, Youngpoong put on a troubled expression.

Seeing that, I had to keep my mouth shut.

‘Is this far too much?’

It’s nothing else, it’s the writing of Hwasan Seongeom.

It was nonsense to hastily inform others of the words left by the great hero of the Volcano Sect.

“sorry. You have crossed the line.”

Knowing this, I also spat out an apology.

“no. You may be wondering.”

Youngpoong lets it go as if it’s okay.

also. He was a different person from the old man with a bad temper.

“Then, are you saying that you got that energy from inside the cave?”

As I spit out the words, I recalled the previous event in my head.

‘I heard that the energy is somehow familiar.’

I wondered why I kept feeling familiar with Youngpoong.

The feeling was similar to that of pottery in my body after passing over from the spirit of the volcanic wave.

It’s ambiguous to say that it’s completely the same.

There was definitely a similar feeling.

‘Looking at that, I guess it’s true that Noya gained energy.’

It is clear that something has been gained.

only.

‘It’s what I got that gave me a chance. It’s subtle to call yourself a successor.’

Although it is true that the energy and physical change was achieved through the opportunity.

Saying that Youngpoong himself became the successor to Hwasan Seongeom was a different thing.

In other words, this is

‘There was something.’

It means that there was something that made Youngpoong think that way.

There are many more questions besides this.

I don’t know Youngpoong’s temperament properly, but when I guess.

What if you found a miracle in a cave?

‘I think he took it to the volcanic wave first.’

that it did not.

‘Anyway, the fact that I didn’t go to the volcanic wave after that.’

Looking at Yeongpoong’s current state, it was clear that he didn’t go to the Volcano Wave right after he got the chance.

what kind of english is that?

Having doubts about this

“I have sent a separate letter to Mr. Jang.”

Youngpoong said that he wrote a letter about his situation and sent it to the Volcano.

“I got a reply about it. it’s you?”

I looked at the old painting and asked for words. She heard this and nodded.

“Since the traffic line was the same, Jang Moon-in asked me to do the job.”

“Why are you going to a shaman?”

Hearing the question, Gu Ryeong-hwa hesitated a little, then spat out an answer again.

“…I’m on my way to see Master.”

If you are the master of old age painting.

‘A swordsman?’

It meant Soi, a woman who currently has the nickname of Swordsman.

‘Does that mean that the swordsman is now in a shaman?’

Regardless of why the swordsman is there.

I had to listen to the story and think a lot.

‘There are too many strange things.’

There are a lot of intrusive points in the story that seems to fit.

Perhaps Shin Noya’s remarks are the most annoying part, but there was not enough reason to argue with them.

‘In the first place, I’m actually a descendant of Hwasan Seongeom, and you’re a fake. It’s hard to say…’

Then what should I do?

‘It’s actually the easiest thing. Although I’m asking directly.’

I was in a state where I couldn’t ask questions to the demon of the volcano who was going to ask.

So what to do?

Which method should I choose?

worries pass by

Originally, it was related to the old age, so I tried to figure out the problem in moderation and move on.

‘It’s different if it’s something related to Shin Noya.’

With things like this, I needed to dig a little.

‘A shaman.’

That side is not in order yet.

Going to a shaman is part of the plan.

‘I’ve been holding it since I went back to Hanam.’

At least I had it set to go through the summer and around the fall.

When this happened, I had to do it a little differently.

‘Changing the order is not a problem.’

It’s a little annoying, but it’s not a problem.

then.

“You said you were going to a shaman.”

“yes? Oh right.”

Right after organizing my thoughts, I spoke to Youngpoong.

“Can I go with you too?”

“yes?”

Youngpoong widens his eyes at my question.

“Do you want to go with the former Sohyup?”

“Yeah, I have something to do at the shaman. Let’s go together like this.”

It’s not a lie. It was true that the shaman had business to do.

It’s just that it wasn’t now, but it’s okay if you change it.

“Can’t you go back?”

When I said that I would go to a shaman, Gu Ryeong-hwa asked for words with a somewhat worried look.

“Wouldn’t the head of household… be angry?”

It seemed that he was worried that his father would be angry.

I laughed out loud when I saw that phrase.

“It will be fine. I don’t think my father will be particularly scolded.”

After hearing the words, Gu Ryeong-hwa’s eyes change to the size of a lantern.

It must be because of the name that came out of my mouth.

Looking at that face, I stroked Gu Ryeong-hwa’s hair.

“Ugh! Where are you touching!”

He screamed loudly as if he didn’t like the old shoes, but funny enough, he didn’t lift his hand.

I asked Yeongpoong, roughly touching the old shoes.

“Are you okay?”

“If you’re with me, that’s fine.”

Youngpoong reacts as if he is happy.

Seeing that, he nodded.

As I was about to turn from Sanseo to Shaman, I suddenly thought of a word I hadn’t asked.

“Oh. But why do you end up going to a shaman?”

Leave the fact that Youngpoong got a chance. The reason for going to the shaman for that reason.

i haven’t heard that yet

“Oh, that.”

Hearing the question, Youngpoong said with an embarrassed expression.

“It is to return the valuables.”

“Are you a noble?”

To get your precious property back?

I look at Youngpoong, wondering what this means.

“The shaman is currently keeping one of the treasures of the volcano.”

“You mean the shaman?”

“Yes, it is said that there was something in the predecessors…. Now that things have happened like this, it has come to the point where they have to be returned.

“It seems like something important, but only the dojo can go…”

While talking, I suddenly remembered what Gu Ryeong-hwa said earlier.

I thought it was a little strange that only the second and third generation disciples were involved in the work of returning the treasure.

‘I said that a shaman has a swordsman.’

There is a laughing adult of the munpa there, so this part is satisfied.

I kept my mouth shut at the words that came to my mind, but Young Poong answered my words as if he had already heard them.

“It’s something I have to go to myself.”

Yeongpoong said that with serious eyes.

‘Should I go by myself?’

There was something strange about the emotion in his voice.

Originally, it was something I wouldn’t have asked.

I felt like I should ask something, so I asked Yeongpoong out of curiosity.

“What are you going to get?”

What the hell did the shaman have that made Yeongpung leave the road without stopping at the volcano?

After hearing such a question, Youngpoong tells me.

“It is because the ghost possessed by the shaman is… the beloved sword possessed by Hwasan Seongeom.”

…huh?

As I listened, I felt something strange.

‘If it’s the old man’s favorite sword…’

Uh…that

‘s for sure… It’s not that well known.”

Youngpoong looked at my expression and recognized me with an unfamiliar expression, and said that it was okay.

From my point of view, I had a completely different idea.

I asked Yeongpoong in a slightly trembling voice.

“Dojang… what’s the name of that monster?”

The name of the ghost that the shaman is currently possessing and that Youngpoong is going to find.

At this question, Youngpoong tilts his head.

He seemed to ask why I was asking, but he let me know as if there was no problem if I told him.

“It is called return.”

“…”

“Are you a ghost that Gu So-hyeop knows?”

I listened and couldn’t say anything.

do you know

…I know it well. It was a problem because I knew it too well.

I had to hide my left arm slightly after hearing the words.

It was a bandaged arm that had turned black from my energy.

‘…What kind of situation is this?’

I don’t know where it came from, but one thing is for sure.

Even if something was wrong, it seemed to be wrong for a long time.

and.

When I thought so, I should have jumped quickly.

I thought things were going well, so I forgot about it for a while.

“Subdue the authors now!”

“Haha, this must be flesh.”

It means that I am a human being who has nothing to do with luck.
