“It’s because of the traitor.”
“betrayer?”
“The Great Priestess fell into a thoroughly planned trap. It was possible because there was a traitor within.”
“You’ve been doing tricks in the Demonic Cult.”
“yes.”
Traps, ambushes, and betrayals are tactics frequently used by the Demonic Cult.
When I heard about it, the situation was like this.
Liaoning and Jilin.
That is, people from the region commonly referred to as Liaodong kept going missing.
But the rest of the people didn’t care.
Currently, the Liaodong region has become a battlefield with endless bloodshed due to the war started by Nurhachi’s Jianzhou Jurchen tribe.
A village engulfed in war was reduced to ashes overnight, and countless people died or became war refugees.
In the midst of all that chaos, it wasn’t a big deal that people were disappearing.
But the problem was the numbers.
“Two thousand?”
“There are only about two thousand people identified, so there must be more.”
If there were two thousand people, it would be like three or four large villages disappearing entirely.
It was a missing person’s case that started half a year ago.
This is definitely a problem.
And even if no one else knows, I know.
Shima, this guy killed a thousand people a day while researching.
I felt like they were protesting to kill me.
“Other people didn’t care, but we did. The disappearance of girls between the ages of five and ten especially hit us hard.”
“Why is the Shinmugung being hit?”
“We take in orphans of that age who seem to have outstanding talents. The Shingumugung doesn’t only have female shamans. We need a lot of people, from bodyguards to guard the female shamans to people doing odd jobs. Yeong-eum is one of those adopted children.”
“You take in young orphans and train them to be regular disciples of the Shinmugung.”
“After such incidents continued for over half a year, we launched an investigation, and our investigator, Hong Seon-ja, discovered an important fact. The missing people were at Punghyangsa Temple.”
“Hong Seon-ja is a traitor.”
“Yes. Without even knowing that she had betrayed him, the great shaman who received the report moved to meet Hong Seonja. Hong Seonja sent a telegram specifically telling the great shaman that she had to come in person.”
“The great priestess ran without a doubt. She got hit.”
“They said that zombies attacked. But they weren’t regular zombies… They were a type of ginger zombie.”
“He must have been a wise man.”
“How do you know that?”
Of course I know.
What Shima is researching is not the use of corpses to create corpses, but the manipulation of living people into corpses, and they are killing weapons with the intelligence of a two to three year old.
In the Demonic Cult, these monsters were called half-corpses.
It meant half human, half corpse.
“Those who died and came back to life… I know that the corpse is a corpse, but then the possession… Could it be that person named Hong Seon-ja?”
“You’re really smart. Are you really eighteen?”
“Does age matter if you’re smart?”
“You speak as if you were there just by hearing the situation.”
“This is all the result of assembling and fitting together the stories that the Holy Mother told me.”
“Not just anyone can do that.”
I changed the subject.
“Hong Seon-ja must be dead. It’s because the Great Shaman has come back alive like this.”
“is it so.”
“What they were after was the Great Shaman. To be exact, it was the body of a Great Shaman who had lived for over two hundred years. That’s what the Great Shaman said.”
From Shima’s perspective, the Great Priestess is a person of great research value.
First of all, it’s full of wonder.
Moreover, since he has lived for over two hundred years, he must have become a being like an extraterrestrial spirit, and since he still has a body in the growth stage, there is no better research material than this.
“……If the operation had been successful, the Great Priestess would have either had her soul stolen by now, or would have become a monster controlled by her mind.”
I looked at the great priestess.
If it weren’t for the spider-like, evil aura on her chest, she would be just like a sleeping little girl.
“You’re holding on, but it’s not like that’s going to solve anything.”
“Is there a way? Please speak as if you have a way…….”
The new mother said with a face that seemed to want to grab onto even a straw.
My eyes lit up.
“If it’s Shima’s fraud… it’s food to me.”
“Is it really possible?”
“But you must grant my request.”
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
“What is that?”
I looked straight into the face of the new mother and said:
“The sap of the sacred tree.”
“sap!”
The new mother’s eyebrows narrowed.
The sacred tree is an oak tree that is over a thousand years old and is located in the center of Sinmu Village.
It is said that when you see a sacred tree that stands firm and unbroken despite the ravages of time, your mind naturally becomes calm.
Oak sap is also widely used as a medicinal herb.
It is very effective in clearing the brain, strengthening the heart, and relieving tension and anxiety.
The sap from a sacred tree that is over a thousand years old is a very expensive and precious medicinal herb that is worth calling for.
So, it is clear that the shaman must have been fed or prepared with sap to extract the evil spirits.
But it’s no use against Shima’s fraud.
Because the way Shima deals with fraud is not common.
The priestess glanced at the old priestesses who were praying.
One of the old priestesses stood up at the look of asking for her opinion.
“How much do you need?”
“The more, the better.”
“They say that sacred trees don’t shed many tears.”
If it’s sap, it’s sap. What are tears?
Anyway, every time something like this happens, it becomes obvious that I’m a shaman.
“It’s a job that deals with fraud. It’s mentally and physically exhausting for me as well.”
“I see. No matter how precious the tears of the divine tree are, they are not more precious than the life of the great priestess.”
“Please give me a hundred pounds.”
“A hundred pounds! Let’s go. A hundred pounds is the amount that would take us ten years to save. Besides, the amount stored here is less than a hundred pounds. Even if we wanted to give it to them, we couldn’t.”
“Give me what you have and I’ll give you the rest later. How much do you have?”
“Ugh.”
The old priestess just let out a sigh.
The Mo Yong Se-ju was unique in the eyes of the old priestess.
He is as confident as if he were asking for something he had entrusted to him.
I wondered how long it had been since I had seen a man say everything he wanted to say in front of me.

That would be the case, as the old shaman’s divine power and experience, which were no less than those of the great shaman, were enough to command both respect and fear from many people.
It was an energy that could not be hidden even if one tried to hide it.
Moreover, the old priestess had released all of her divine powers in order to heal the current great priestess.
But he did not yield to that energy.
‘You’re eighteen now? You’ve taken over Mokdeok’s ancestral rites.’
The old priestess quickly predicted the future and soon agreed.
* * *
“There’s about thirty pounds.”
I quickly replied to the old priestess’s words.
“If you take it all, I’ll call you a thief, so give me only twenty geun, and the remaining eighty geun, ten geun a year, over eight years. I won’t charge you any interest.”
“Ugh.”
The old priestess eventually accepted my words, which showed no sign of backing down.
I felt good
Twenty pounds of sap.
If you mix medicinal herbs into it and make a decoction and drink it, it becomes holy water that is excellent for driving away evil spirits such as magic and evil spirits.
When I was reincarnated as a shaman, I used to drink Cheongmyeongtang, a drink made with the sap of the Chinese juniper and oak trees, to refresh my mind and body.
One sip of Cheongmyeongtang is more effective than ten pills of Whanghwangcheongsimhwan.
You don’t get surprised easily and you don’t know what nervousness is.
To put it simply, it’s a swelling in the liver.
Moreover, if it was the sap of a sacred tree, its medicinal properties would be tremendous.
Anyway, the bargaining is over.
“There are two ways to deal with it: either remove it and move it to find a new victim, or implant it in the owner’s body. You can’t implant the evil here, because evil and magic are incompatible.”
“In the end, the sap didn’t help.”
It seems that the new mother was considering sap as a last resort.
“That’s right. Even if you use sap, you can’t overcome that power.”
I pointed my finger at the black swindlers that were swaying.
“I will take that off and transfer it to my body. I will suck it up, just like a transfer of internal energy.”
“Are you saying that the Lord will become the new victim?”
“My case is different from that of the Great Priestess. I know how to seal that darkness into my body.”
My mother-in-law stopped me, saying that it couldn’t be done.
“How on earth do you decide to make such a sacrifice? Do you even know what that means? It’s a curse for your entire life… no, a curse for your soul.”
It wasn’t wrong, but it was also wrong.
It’s a curse to some, but a blessing to others.
But I pretended to die on purpose.
“Would I like curses?”
curse.
Just hearing it makes me feel refreshed.
“I’m not going to live with this scam. I guess you’ve forgotten who I am.”
“Ah! The Je of Mokdeok!”
Mokdeok (wood virtue).
It is the source of all life and energy.
Fraud is also a virtue.
“Yes. I’ll find a way to remove that power and seal it back up. I’ll just hold on to it until then.”
“You are confident that you can break the curse.”
“I’m not stupid. I would have done that without thinking.”
An old priestess who had been listening silently from the side finally shed tears.
“How could such a noble…… Master truly be a saint. Hehe.”
It wasn’t just her.
Looking around, I saw that the other priestesses in the room also had moved expressions on their faces.
Ugh.
When you look at me with those innocent eyes, I feel a pang of conscience.
Of course, I’m not trying to take advantage of them.
It’s about mutual benefit.
Shinmugung saves the great shaman, and I get what I want.
I intended to extract Shima’s evil spirit and fuse it with my original magic, then elevate the quality of my magic.
Fraud is food for the Magi.
And the sap is a bonus.
The task is to save the great shaman and catch Sima.
That’s literally a daily occurrence.
It was the best solution without any hesitation.
match!
The atmosphere changed completely with my applause.
“My Lady, please bring me the sap. I will definitely save the Great Priestess.”
“Are you going to calm down?”
When I nodded, the new mother eventually accepted.
Because this was the only way right now.
* * *
“What are you doing? Quickly, go and check on the great priestess.”
Everyone seems to be telling me to hurry up.
But I didn’t even open my mouth.
Are you crazy? I’m not a fool who works without getting paid.
After a while.
Ten female priestesses came in, each holding a one-pound mother-of-pearl bottle in each hand.
I lined them up in two rows on the floor and smiled happily.
You hit the jackpot.
Eat fraud to raise magic and obtain sap to fight against magic.
Let’s start moving slowly.
I decided to start the ritual right away.
When I got closer and looked, the details of the Great Priestess were more severe than I thought.
There was a black hole in her chest.
There was a creepy, long, spider-like thing sprouting out of it.
But these weren’t dangerous as long as you followed the rules.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
I spoke deliberately solemnly.
As if performing a grand ceremony.
And then he took a deep breath as if he was watching.
And then he started reciting the spell.
order?
Do you need something like this?
Of course you don’t need it. But in times like this, if you just recite the order without thinking, it looks good.
It’s also easy to package it as if I’m doing something very difficult.
