Novel Path of The Shaman Chapter 269

269

Shanxi Province is like a huge canyon, blocked from east to west by huge mountains.

Most of the megacities were located on the plains of the canyons along the Sanmen Gorge, in Yuncheng, Forestry, Taiyuan, Suzhou, and Datong.

It was moving meanderingly like a snake moving forward, opening its mouth toward the waterway of the Sammunhyeop.

Due to these topographical features, Shanxi has a uniquely closed tendency compared to other regions, and it has the characteristics of being united by themselves.

Decades ago, Shanxi Chamber of Commerce was the place where trade unions located in five megacities were brought together by using these topographical characteristics.

Recently, it has been expanding its territory by maintaining a close relationship with the nature of Sapaecheon, the owner of Shanxi.

A huge manor located inside Pingyao Castle in Jinzhong under Taiyuan.

That place was the main manor of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, the driving force behind the development of Shanxi Province, a powerful man with undisputed authority, and the owner.

As if to prove that they were the actual owners of Shanxi, their manor was surrounded by a fortress so high that you could only see the end if you tilted your head as high as you could, and from the watchtowers erected here and there, soldiers belonging to the upper ranks vigilantly guarded the surroundings like hawks.

The fortified entrance to the inside felt like another castle as I carefully watched those who came and went through the east, west, south, and north.

In the evening when the day’s work is over and the gate to the outside is closed.

The hidden side of daily life, the Shanseo Trading Company, opens its eyes.

Fire.

The bronze brazier was lit up, and the darkness that covered all sides was pushed away in an instant.

A place where four middle-aged men sit lined up on a platform and watch.

Aww!

The leather whip that flies violently through the air and then bends and falls tears away flesh and splatters blood.

The figure, whose hands were tied to a wooden pole, couldn’t even scream at the bitten gag and grimaced in pain.

The faces of those watching were frowning as if they were being beaten, but there was no emotion on the expression of the beating.

Aww! Aww!

The person who was tied up at the end of the non-stop beating lowered his head helplessly, as if he had finally let go of his breath.

Chaaaak.

When he didn’t wake up even after being sprayed with water, the doctor hurriedly ran up to him, checked his pulse, and shook his head in contemplation.

death was the conclusion.

The old man in the center of those who were watching from the top of the platform raised his chin and stood up, and those on the left and right hesitantly followed.

The old man’s name is Song Yeo-bang. He was the owner of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.

He swept them slowly, then turned his head coldly, and the people he met with his eyes lowered their heads.

The tense atmosphere in which he couldn’t even roll his eyes was relieved with a burst of breath only after Song Yeo-bang disappeared with the escorts.

“…I didn’t know that Noya would be watching.”

Maegeumbang, the bloated owner of the upper tier of the stand area, exhales while wiping away sweat.

“You seem very angry.”

Na Hyuk-tae, the leader of the Daedong Merchant Alliance, who was next to him, nodded and glared at one place.

The person whose eyes met him sighed with an expression as if he had suffered a serious sin. It was Gokpilseong, the upper union state of Sammunhyeop and Yeonunseong area.

“You’re good at that. You still don’t know Noya’s personality?”

At Maegeumbang’s reprimand, everyone looked at the contortionist.

“No, that’s what I didn’t know. How could I have known that he was secretly making a deal with the metallurgist party behind the scenes?”

Gokpilseong glared at the beaten sinner and complained with an unfair expression.

“Sounds like nothing. If you, the owner of the guild alliance, say you don’t know, will it end? this?”

“…”

Gook Pil-seong kept his mouth shut at Maegeumbang’s work.

“Damn it, why didn’t the Sakju Merchant Alliance come on a day like today…”

This incident started when some crazy guy attacked the metallurgical party.

The man who died after being beaten was running a small merchant company called Jeongmyeong Merchant Company under the Unseong Merchant Company.

However, it was revealed during the investigation into the attack on the Yagum Party that they were selling the name of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce and secretly contacting and trading with the Yakum Party.

The Shanseo Chamber of Commerce made lower organizations unable to take charge of negotiations with Murim.

It was a rule that Song Yeo-bang himself established a long time ago.

Ignoring this, Sangdanju Jeongmyeong was arrested by the executives of the Shanseo Chamber of Commerce, and eventually died after a harsh beating.

As a result, Song Yeo-bang said that he would carry out inspections and inspections of each merchant guild, so the lords of the merchant guild were afraid of what would happen in the future.

“…But why does Noya-kun need so many children?”

Na Hyuk-tae’s muttering made the heads of the merchants’ faces pale.

“I heard that the owner of the Jeongmyeong Sangdan was stealing the children to save them.”

“Ugh! this person. How can you do that…”

“What if someone hears it!”

Everyone swivels their heads to see if no one heard them.

“Never speak of it again. Noya personally went to Sapaecheon to negotiate. Even in the coffin, if you keep talking about what you do, neither the mouse nor the bird will die.”

“…”

Rumors about the children secured by the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce were an open secret, but it was something that should never be spoken of.

Because there was no one in Shanxi who could offend Song Yeo-bang and be safe.

“Let’s stop and let’s go back. To prepare for the inspection by the inspectorate, I would wear a hat even if I stayed up all night.”

As Maegeumbang hurries to his feet, waddling his bloated body, the merchants hurriedly follow him.

There was no time to hesitate. He had to hurry back to his top.

It was because they also remembered the things they had done to their advantage, avoiding the eyes of the Shanxi Chamber.

* * *

Quaang!

Returning to her residence, Song Yeo-bang kicked the table with a distorted expression. You could tell just by looking at his wheezing expression how angry he was.

“Yoo-goong!”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Did you still not hear from Ma-kun!”

“Yes, still. Shall we send the children to investigate?”

“…”

This was the reason Song Yeo-bang was angry.

Even ten days have passed since Ma-gun and Gwang-do, who sent them to deal with the flesh, did not fly.

I don’t know if it’s a luminary, but I thought that if it was a meticulous Demon Army, it could be enough.

And I didn’t even suspect it.

failure? It can’t be. According to their investigation, even if Salmakju was one of the kings of Sapaeo, he could not deal with the Demon Army and Gwangdo all at once.

Although the two are in an enmity relationship, there is no way they can fight even though they have their own name.

But why is it that even after it is resolved, I am not able to reach you in the time that should have been left?

At least he had to send a reply to the telegram he had sent. No contact so far means something has happened to them.

Besides, there was one more fact that upset Song Yeo-bang.

It was the reply from Cheonungbang regarding the request for an interview from the other day.

Waiting for them to come?

Are you arrogant even though you are offering to finance the yard where the war with Sapaecheon’s nature is right around the corner?

It is no different from ignoring the upper ranks with the pride of being a Murim person.

“Chun Woo-myeong, that son of a bitch…”

If the current rebellion forces were joined by Prince Won-gong Chun Myung Se-chan, the leader would surely be Chun Woo-myeong.

The guy must have been in the way.

Song Yeo-bang’s eyes trembled as he recalled the evil relationship of the past.

When I went to Henan to make a connection with Sapaecheon, I ran into the iron sword group led by him.

The result is annihilation.

He blew away not only the upper ranks, but also one of the Ilgung’s main unmanned units.

He bowed his head and apologized to the king of Sapaeo, but he would not be able to afford a meal if he revealed his true face.

I couldn’t forget the expression on his face as he looked down at himself at the time.

I will always pluck the head.

But now was not the time. First of all, the contents about salmak were urgent.

“Did Beomjeong still be in Sakju?”

“yes. It seems that we haven’t secured a child with the seven yin veins to send to the Sogung Lord.”

“Um…”

Seven yin silver veins.

It is a different constitution from the seven syllable veins, which are said to die after being sick from birth.

Occasionally, there were people who were born with such a body.

It was a constitution in which the yin energy was inherent in the body, and then exploded at once and died suddenly. Although he was not well known because he never knew his illness until he died.

The palace was secretly looking for children with seven yin veins. It was because their yin energy was helpful for the martial arts master Sogungju learned.

In the past, Samgungju Shangangping found it near Jingzhou and dispatched soldiers, but the child was missed due to obstruction of the opening.

It was the first seven-yin silver vein discovered after that.

Because he had to secure it, Beomjeong, one of his escorts, moved directly to Sakju.

“Send a message to Bumjeong. At the same time as securing the child of Chileum Eunmaek, tell them to find the traces of the Demon Army and Gwangdo who went to Salmak.”

“All right.”

* * *

Jinmu clenched his chin and stared blankly at So Dongbo.

“You don’t like me?”

“….”

He puts both hands on his waist, raises his chin slightly, and lowers his eyes toward Jinmu.

What is this strange feeling?

Jinmu couldn’t decide for a moment how to deal with the current situation.

because it was crazy

After leaving Hesimgok, they headed south, crossed the Yellow River, and entered Shanxi.

It was the way to find the Sanseo store.

Since I was moving without going through the village, I had no choice but to stay overnight.

I have to prepare a bed, make a bonfire, slaughter animals, and make my daily bread. Of course you should.

I can’t.

“Hey… did I hear something wrong?”

Jinmu blinked his eyes as he looked at him, and Hwangshin shook his head.

oh you heard that right

But I really can’t understand. Why wouldn’t you?

I can’t even break it by giving the golden jade leaves of Salmakju like the emperor.

“Are you… do you want to be treated like you’re older?”

“It’s not like that. I just hate to do it.”

“why?”

“Just.”

“….”

“….”

“So tell the emperor to continue?”

“Aren’t you the youngest?”

“Didn’t I tell you to take turns?”

“I never said yes.”

“…”

Jinmu looks at him with an expression full of absurdity.

How to say, ‘You’re young too, but you’re at least strong in martial arts, and you have the status of the Lord of Heaven, so I’ll treat you with respect.’

“I’m not used to this situation at all, so… is this something like rebellion or rebellion?”

“…”

Yes. The commotion is now unfolding.

He was doing his best to recover according to the orders of his grandmother and the owner of the house, which he respected.

“her! this is true Hwang Shin-ah, he’s going against me.”

“…”

At Jinmu’s words, Hwangshin looks at So Dongbo with great pity. It was as if he was saying, ‘You’ve become an X now.’

Even so, Dongbo So’s raised chin did not intend to come down.

How do you do that?

This isn’t even an adolescent boy. It’s not enough to just give away and rehabilitate this strangely rebellious guy.

After watching for a while, Jinmu sighed and stood up.

Ha, in the past, you would have already collapsed on the floor and been trampled on, to make such an effort.

As I got older, my heart became weaker.

“under! Are you really funny?”

“…!”

“I can’t even sell this…!”

Come to think of it, do I really need to sell myself?

Isn’t there a emperor?

A mischievous smile formed on Jinmu’s lips.

“good. Then let me suggest something.”

“…?”

“It means being a Murim. Isn’t it a fist rather than a horse?”

“You mean you’re going to force me by force?”

“Ah, if I come out, the class doesn’t match, right? How about hanging out with Hwangshin?”

“With that friend?”

At Jinmu’s words, So Dongbo looks at Hwangshin with fierce eyes.

A boy with a small body with a fine face.

skills are acknowledged.

However, he did not think that he, the heir of Salmak, would lose.

Haven’t they already mastered the art of slaughter to the peak?

“Have I had a similar experience before? Well, it was an expedient at the time, but… Anyway, you are weaker than Hwangshin.”

“Nonsense!”

When Jinmu turned his nerves against him, So Dongbo shouted in a fit of fuss.

“Yeah, I knew you would say that. Then how do you want to check?”

“great! Let’s check it out. If I win, Lord, please don’t say anything more to me.”

“….”

It was cheap.

I don’t even call him God.

“Okay then shall we begin?”

Jinmu smiles and passes by Hwangshin.

[Shin’s footsteps are slightly different. The guy is in the heaviest place. Remember it well.]

“…?”

When Jinmu moved away, Dongbo So and Hwangshin stood facing each other.

At the sudden situation, Hwangshin had a bewildered expression, and So Dongbo had an expression full of enthusiasm that he would definitely win.

“Let’s start!”

At the cry of Jinmu, who announced the start, So Dong-bo immediately jumps at Hwangshin.

grasp!

At some point, the appearance of Sodongbo disappears as if it were scattered in the air.

And at the same time, as the welcome preview of Salmak’s secret skill unfolds, all sides are filled with his new model…

Pew!

“Keugh!”

Sodongbo, who had been hit on the bridge of the nose, staggered backwards.

Damn, accidentally getting hit by an outstretched fist.

Once again welcome in advance…

Pleasant!

“Keugh!”

The front teeth are broken.

he’s a lucky guy Coincidence happened twice.

Welcome…

Perg!

“Keugh!”

So Dong-bo finally knelt at the fist that dug deep into his side.

Hwan… No, how the hell do you find out?

So Dong-bo looked at the emperor with eyes full of disbelief.

The emperor was also puzzled.

I just followed what the Gaecheonju told me.

It was true. He heard footsteps that no one could hear, and only punched where the heaviest sound came from.

That’s it.

“god!”

“…?”

Hwangshin turned his head at the call of Jinmu, who was watching from behind with his arms crossed.

“What are you doing?”

“…”

“Step on it.”

“…!”

At Jinmu’s command, the emperor’s face had the brightest smile he had ever seen in his entire life.

step on Beat me. Give me a fan.

“Quack.”

Hwangshin’s black shadow approaches So Dongbo.

Queueek!

The trampled little boy screams madly.

I still lack the ability to beat, so I can’t come up with a joyful beat, but a person who has eaten meat knows how to hit well.

It is said that it does not hurt even if you put it in your eyes.

In any case, I didn’t even get hit.

With Jinmu’s hand.
