Episode 204
As long as it’s okay with the shaman
Thanks to Jeong Gwang’s performance, Sima Lian suffered a crushing defeat.
Numerous corpses were piled up, and quite a few people escaped.
There were many people who surrendered… … .
Jeong Gwang made an unexpected decision.
“I’ll leave it like this.”
“… … !”
The Bloodless members were surprised.
From a moral point of view, killing those who surrendered is objectionable.
However, isn’t it too harsh to release them without any compensation or punishment?
‘At any rate, they will appear as enemies again.’
‘That’s true, but would a shaman who was greatly harmed accept it?’
The bloodless members put themselves in the shoes of a shaman and thought about it.
‘For moral reasons or whatever, you probably want to hit your head right away.’
‘If I were to be generous, it would be to destroy the dantian and then cut off the muscles of the limbs.’
The former was a bit like that, but the latter was no problem at all.
Even from the perspective of political factions, it was the same.
Moorim was that kind of place.
This is an acceptable punishment for a martial artist who stands on a blade, risking his life and greedily devouring another person’s head.
‘But let’s just leave it like this.’
‘How does a shaman come out?’
The eyes of the Bloodless members gathered in one place.
Seon-woo, a shaman, did not pay attention to their gazes and only looked at Jeong-gwang.
“… … “You mean everything?”
“yes. Are you okay?”
“… … .”
Sunwoo sighed inwardly.
Although the words seemed to show respect for the shaman, the shaman could not refuse Jeong Gwang’s offer.
‘I’ve been given too much for that.’
Even considering what had happened so far, it was far off when I would be able to repay it.
This is impossible in Sunwoo’s university.
If I’m really lucky, I might be able to do it before Daejin dies.
‘no. You’ll have to see it after that.’
Daejin should not have to bear too heavy a burden.
According to Jeong Gwang’s words, he is still in a state of half-massage.
It was difficult to tell whether the martial artist who killed the enemy’s leader had attained enlightenment or had fallen into the evil path.
Jeong Gwang gave a dubious assurance that it would probably be okay, but he doesn’t know what the future holds.
‘If I said yes, everyone would be burning with revenge… … .’
I slowly turned my gaze and glanced at the shaman’s disciples.
Most of the disciples were pleading with their mouths and eyes.
Please refuse.
It is said that the grace received from Jinokryong is like that of Mount Tai, but not as much as this.
‘What about Daejin?’
He had been alone and deep in thought.
It seemed like he was contemplating on the topic of ‘gathering disciples through coolness’ that Jeong Gwang mentioned.
If it had been a confrontation in the past, we would have laughed it off, but the desperation was so great that we would have to take it seriously.
There was actually a valid point.
‘… … okay. Jin Ok-ryong is doing this for the honor of the text. No, even if it’s the wrong decision, you have to follow it.’
If you oppose it, you might do it.
But that would also be a debt.
After making up his mind, Seonwoo looked around at the shaman disciples and spoke heavily.
“It’s not that I don’t know your feelings.”
“… … .”
“But Jin Yuryong’s words are right. What can you do by taking out your anger on those who are on their knees? He swallows his anger and then vents it out on those who do not admit their mistakes. “That is the path that is right for us as righteous believers and Taoists.”
The responses of the shaman disciples varied.
Some people gave in, some did not, and there were many who were confused.
Still, as befits disciples of a prestigious shaman of the political faction, no one questioned Jang Mun-in… … .
Jeong Gwang inwardly shook his head.
This wasn’t a good thing.
‘If it ends like this, it will fester over time. ‘What needs to be exploded must be exploded or completely surrendered.’
Jeong Gwang was about to say something but stopped.
Isn’t there a soldier who has been entrusted with great care to take care of such troublesome matters?
He urged me with a glance to come forward.
Wi Jinhong held on with a frown, but when Jeong Gwang smiled brightly and touched both hands, his face turned white and he started talking quickly.
“I was immersed in Mt. Wudang and emptied my mind, so maybe my head also became empty. “Why is everyone so stupid except Jang Moon-in?”
“… … !”
Bloodless shook his head.

‘Crazy guy.’
‘It’s a shame because I’m a shaman. If it were a panga or a party… … .’
Before we could even talk about it, all of our teeth would have been knocked out or we would have been poisoned.
How much discipline have shaman disciples accumulated?
He was holding back with his fist clenched or his hand on the hilt of his sword.
However, he did not hold back to the end, but a middle-aged Taoist scolded him with a stern expression.
“Such rude words! “I have seen your abilities well, but who are you to dare to mock the text!”
Wei Jinhong puffed out his chest and lifted his chin.
“joy. I am the Jincheon Thunder that shook the world… … .”
“Brainless! “Our soldiers are brainless!”
“Cheolwol! “Shut up!”
“If you don’t have anything to say, just shut up!” “Our soldiers are cowards and brainless!”
“… … “This is real!”
Wei Jinhong was extremely angry.
Even if I heard it from Jeong-gwang, I would be angry, but I can’t believe I heard something like this from an idiot!
I can think of more than a dozen ghost realms that will prevent Cheolwol from living or dying.
I felt Jeong Gwang’s gaze.
It was a very pathetic look in his eyes.
“It’s okay, soldier. “I will tell you.”
“Oh, no. I… … .”
“Go over there and play with Cheolwol. “The two fit perfectly together.”
“That’s ridiculous!”
While all the Bloodless members nodded, Jeong Gwang stepped forward.
And he spoke softly to the middle-aged monk from earlier.
“Do you want to kill them all?”
“Honestly, yes. But… … “That won’t work.”
“So you’re going to maim me and let me go?”
“… … .”
When the middle-aged Taoist silently affirmed, Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“Then it becomes difficult to rebuild the shaman.”
“… … Well, what is that… … ?”
“You can’t develop notoriety when you need to bring people together.”
“… … Notorious? Isn’t that just revenge? “If it were unmanned, everyone would understand.”
Jeong Gwang raised one finger and waved it.
“If it’s unmanned, that’s true. But what if they are young children who are not yet unmanned?”
“… … ?”
“Children who dream of becoming masters and making a name for themselves as charlatans. Put yourself in their shoes. Revenge is something that must be done. A warrior who overcomes all kinds of pain and adversity and finally succeeds in getting revenge. This is probably the image of a thief that children dream of. but… … .”
“… … ah!”
“I guess you noticed. The revenge that these children think of is giving the other person a clean death, not turning them into a person who can neither live nor die. “If you’re a bad kid who can even imagine something like that, you should go to Sapa. Where else would you go to join a prestigious shaman of a political faction?”
“… … .”
“If you want to receive children worthy of being a shaman, you will have to show patience. Jang Moon-in said something nice earlier.”
“… … “Swallow your anger and spit it out on those who do not admit their mistakes. This is what I am saying.”
“yes.”
“… … .”
The middle-aged Taoist monk was silent for a moment, then frowned with an embarrassed expression.
“Jinokryong, please forgive my shortcomings. “Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”
That wasn’t the only thing that was suppressed.
All of the shaman’s disciples expressed their apology and gratitude to Jeong Gwang.
Jeong Gwang grinned, expressed his respect, and then asked Seon Woo.
“Jang Moon-in, can I send you all away now?”
“Muryangsubul.” Thank you. Do as you wish. But… … .”
“Please speak.”
Seon-woo looked embarrassed as he glanced at the Sima-ryeon warriors kneeling right in front of him.
“They heard everything… … “What would I do if a rumor spread? As a Buddhist, I would be very embarrassed.”
He said he wanted to kill me and make a mess of people, but I let him go.
As a member of a prestigious political faction, it was a huge loss of face.
“ah. “With something like that.”
Jeong Gwang turned his gaze to the Simalian warriors.
Those who made eye contact put their heads on the ground and begged desperately.
“Please, just kill and destroy people!”
“Please save me! “Please save me!”
Jeong Gwang was dumbfounded.
“No, these are the real ones. “Why do you look at people like this?”
They were seeing it right.
In particular, the old man with the bird-like head was very desperate.
“I have an old mother and a sick wife at home! If the old man dies like this, they will all die too. “Please look into the situation!”
“Oh my. “What is your name, wife?”
“… … uh? uh… … hmm. Chu, Chunyoung?”
“You’re not even married.”
“Ha, I will! “I plan to do it!”
Jeong Gwang muttered as he looked at the ugly tattoos on the old man’s cheeks.
“It would be better to aim for the next life.”
“omg! Hey, you don’t have to get married. There is no next life. “I am satisfied with my current life.”
Jeong Gwang looked at the old man with an interesting face.
“You usually talk a lot, right?”
The old man glanced at Zhao next to Zheng Guang and denied it.
“No. “He’s very quiet.”
When Zheng Guang turned his head, Zhao immediately explained.
“The author is an old monster called Hwalmyeonhyeolchwi (凶面滑嘴). The leader, Kwak Jeong-won… … Ah, the name of the old man with shrimp eyes. Now that he is dead, he can be said to be the leader of those who remain. He is very talkative and likes to spread rumors, and despite his appearance, he is famous for spewing out fairly accurate facts. To name a few… … .”
“I’ll decline to say yes. “How does it compare to Zhao?”
Zhao looked with a straight face.
“Sobriety. When I speak, I only speak logically so that the other person does not misunderstand, but I never talk too much… … .”
“I’m saying it’s worse than Zhao. all right.”
Jeong Gwang looked at the corpse again.
“I guess you can’t keep your tongue still.”
“Now, shall we cut it? good! Let’s cut it!”
“no. “Keep doing that.”
“Even if I bite right now… … huh?”
Hwalchwi opened his mouth with a puzzled look on his face.
Jeong Gwang pointed with his finger to the tongue in his mouth.
“that. Feel free to tease us. However, just as it happened.”
“Uh, why… … ?”
Jeong Gwang looked around at the shamans and continued speaking.
“We need to let the world know how much the shaman wants talented people and with what attitude he will have in the fight against Sima Lian.”
“… … .”
“I’ll take care of the area above the Yangtze River, so please take care of the area below.”
“… … gulp. Choi, I’ll do my best.”
Jeong Gwang brought his face close to the face of the monster.
“No more, no less. “Make it look as good as possible.”
“Well, then! “Of course!”
“Speak softly because spit will splash.”
“Hmph.”
“If the rumors sound different… … .”
“… … “Can you hear me?”
Jeong Gwang released the self-defense force he had used on his face and grabbed Hwalchwi’s wrist.
It was such an elegant and wonderful Geumnasu that I had no choice but to face it even with my eyes wide open.
“You still have quite a bit left. I will come to say hello before you pass away. please.”
* * *
Hyeongmyeon Hwalchii led the Simalyeon warriors and left with his shoulders drooping.
The horse he was riding on was taken away and he was trudging along.
Wei Jinhong looked at their backs and raised one corner of his mouth.
“It was a small blow.”
“What does it mean?”
Wei Jin-hong, who was about to laugh as hard as he could, changed his complexion when he saw that the person asking the question was Eon Eui-jin.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“why? “You don’t want to tell this to an idiot?”
Wei Jin-hong was about to nod his head without thinking when he saw the calluses on Eon Eui-jin’s fist.
“… … It couldn’t possibly be like that. There is another reason why Danju handled things this way. “He showed that if you surrender, your life will be spared, so when they return, word will spread.”
“iced coffee. I guess so. Still, we’ll meet again as enemies, but that’s not a good thing, is it?”
Wei Jinhong, who had been holding back, exploded.
“You idiot! “It doesn’t make sense!”
“I’m sorry for being stupid. “Please tell me so I can feel more sorry.”
Wei Jinhong smiled arrogantly.
A cockiness like Mount Tai rose from his whole body.
“They were hit hard by Danju. Something else in my head… … It will be just me and him. What will happen if those people meet Danju again on the battlefield?”
“hmm. There will be great chaos. “They will run away, howl, and become very upset.”
“Thank goodness you’re not that stupid. That’s right, it would be to our advantage if they stayed among the enemies.”
“I understand. But wouldn’t Sima Lianzhu also notice that? “I think they will be very nervous when they report.”
Wei Jin-hong praised Eon Eui-jin with a bright look in his eyes.
“I guess the hair wasn’t a decoration.”
“It’s the same with fists.”
“Wow!”
Eon Eui-jin grabbed Wi Jin-hong’s head and asked Jeong Gwang.
“Sobriety. What are you going to do now?”
“Could you please gather people together?”
Key figures of the Shaman faction and the Bloodless group gathered.
Jeong Gwang looked around at them and spoke seriously.
“Let’s go up north.”
Everyone nodded.
This is right in front of the Yangtze River.
It was too close to Sima Lian’s sphere of influence.
“We have to move quickly. Priest, which would be better?”
Jeong Gwang answered Jeong Woo’s question.
“Dangyang.”
Dangyang was a county that was neither too far nor too close to the Yangtze River.
“Are you saying we should recognize in advance if Sima Lian comes up again and go to a position where it is easy to fight or retreat? “As expected of a sober drinker.”
Tang Yeji muttered and expressed admiration.
Wei Jinhong tried to say something, but Yu Jeongpung intervened, covering his mouth.
“If it’s as expected, the people from the Murim Alliance will arrive soon, so we can rest, stock up on strength, and then join them.”
Most of the bloodless members are the best late-stage exponents of the political faction.
Although they were not as good as Wei Jinhong, they were able to make appropriate inferences when given clues.
Dangogun spoke on behalf of the members.
“Let’s do as Danju wants.”
“yes. however… … .”
Jeong Gwang’s eyes turned to Seon Woo.
“What will the shaman do? “You have to go back to Wudang Mountain first, right?”
Sunwoo answered with a dark face.
“It’s just as you said. “The Murim League may have sent someone, but shouldn’t we go?”
They had to find survivors and recover the bodies of their disciples.
All important things, such as emergency expenses, were put in a secret place, but I had to make sure they were in place.
Seonwoo politely paid his respects to Jeong Gwang and the Bloodless members.
“The shaman will not forget your help.”
Afterwards, the shaman disciples also shouted.
“Thank you so much!”
“I will definitely repay this favor!”
After Jeong-gwang urges him to do so, he says goodbye… … .
Daejin, who had remained silent, opened his mouth to Seonwoo.
“Jang Moon-in, I will stay.”
“… … !”
“Jin Yuryong, will you accept me?”
Everyone was surprised, but it wasn’t a surprise.
“Of course you should stay. “You need to improve your reputation and spread rumors.”
“Please take care of me.”
When Daejin asked in a gloomy voice, Jeonggwang answered confidently.
“Do not worry. We’ll make sure you look as good as possible. “I’ll also make you a nice nickname.”
And added:
“Well, as long as it’s okay with the shaman.”
