The Shaman Wants Transcendence

35 – The Difference Between a Freak and an Uninvited Guest

The boulder stopped pretending to be a normal boulder and began releasing its divine power, perhaps realizing that its identity had been exposed.

The divine power, which had become tangible due to too much quantity, reminded of a bright light and gradually began to illuminate the main hall, and the light gradually became brighter and gathered into one place to form a shape.

And finally, it formed the shape of a large dog made of light.

Its name is Mukurikokurin no Inugami.

It was a body that the Saigo family had been taking care of for generations, and it was a cowardly existence that hid itself without hesitation to save itself when it sensed the existence of its true nature.

“Mukurikokuri no Inugami, Mukurikokuri no Inugami, Mukurikokuri no Inugami.”

Looking at it, Jinseong muttered the name of the body three times.

“It’s really long. But with that name, I know how you hid yourself without fighting properly, and how you feared me and couldn’t bear to bite my neck.”

[Kreur…]

“I thought I could get a lot, but I never thought I would be so lucky from the start!”

Jinsung laughed and said.

“The dog of Mukuri Kokuri. A guard dog brought by Mukuri Kokuri. Poor beast who has been worshiped for a long time and has forgotten even his duty as a hunting dog. It’s a hunting dog that doesn’t exist.”

Past.

A past that must go back hundreds of years, not decades.

There were Mongolia and Goryeo.

The Mongols were displeased with the pirates who periodically invaded and plundered the coast, and eventually formed an expeditionary force because they could not stand it. Mongolia, which made its name known throughout the world by devastating the continent, had nothing to fear in the world, and thought that it would be easy to conquer Japan as well.

However, as much as their name was known all over the world, their power was dispersed, so they put pressure on Goryeo, which belonged to them, to participate in the expedition, which was the Yeomong allied army.

They were able to easily push the Japanese army through combat techniques honed in fierce battles and combat weapons absorbed and developed by various countries. In addition, Mongolia was able to acquire all sorts of by-products by collecting and arranging all the magic collected from each country, and did not hesitate to share it with its mother country, Goryeo.

They literally turned Japan into a mess.

Anyone taller than a cartwheel was killed.

If they locked themselves in the castle, they would take a detour, clean up the surroundings, and spread the plague inside.

The granary was set on fire and sprinkled with salt, and when water was found, filth was poured on it and the corpses cast with the magic of decay were thrown.

The combination of Mongolia and Goryeo was terrible.

The warriors’ hands and feet were also quite well matched, but especially the power of the Mongol shaman and the Goryeo shaman they brought created an overwhelming power difference that could not be resisted.

Mongol sorcerers ripped off deer heads and birds of prey wings and made them into clothing, which they used to cast spells on warriors. A warrior who received their magic could move as quickly as a deer, gain strength like an eagle, and see through everything at night and daytime like an owl.

Is that all? Like wolves, horses that received their magic did not hesitate to bite other animals and drink their blood, and became beasts of prey that moved in packs and hunted people.

Goryeo shamans were well versed in shamanism and shamanism. Shamans in Goryeo wore colorful clothes and packed shamanistic materials.He carried and cast spells. They gave warriors and sorcerers defensive spells so that they would not be harmed by sorcery, and if there were enemy commanders, they cursed them and assassinated them using innocence.

In addition, a casting was made to prevent the soldiers from uniting again in the devastated area, and the shape was that of a wooden doll with nails stuck in its head.

In the place where the doll was located, there was always a person who died, and the death was a difficult form that could not be understood by common sense, so the people of Japan feared the terrible curse and did not dare to stay in the land.

However, their disintegration did not last long, which is the will of nature.

At that time, a huge typhoon, which would be called Shinpu in Japan and later Kamikaze, caused great damage to the Yeomong allied forces. This typhoon forced the Yeomong allied forces to stop advancing further and return, and later, when they invaded Japan again, they came back and gave up their expedition.

However, the fear they gave was still there and has continued to this day.

Mongolian Goguryeo.

Mokuri Kokuri.

Mukuri Kokuri.

From noble mtl dot com

The fear given by the Yeomong allied forces turned into a monster and ghost named Mukurikokuri, and the fundamental fear that spread to all Japanese people to the point of scaring a disobedient child, saying, ‘If you don’t listen, Mukurikokuri will come and take you!’ It became.

Ghosts haunted all over Japan due to Hon and Hundred, and later, the phenomenon of Hundred Ghost Night Trips occurred, and even though it became the land of all kinds of ghosts, Mukuri-kokuri did not appear, but people were still afraid of Mukuri-kokuri.

Until Japan changed its name to Japan, Japan ate Joseon, lost in World War II, and built up wealth again to become modern Japan.

The fear did not go away.

“Because there is no reality, it has become an inescapable fear. Isn’t it ironic?”

It may be because there is no reality.

The Japanese people had no choice but to live a life with fearful beings, evil spirits and demons, due to the side effects created by the energy fever dome.

As we walked along the road, a weasel-shaped demon cut people’s bodies with invisible blades, and a huge horned demon clubbed people into porridge. The evil spirits that inhabited the bodies of gisaengs and mutated their bodies predominated, and those that possessed objects, bewitched people, and cursed people appeared one after another.

The demons were ferocious, and the demons were monstrous.

To get away from their elusive and damaging effects, the Japanese used a funny way of describing them by naming them. They ridiculed and ridiculed them, struggled to get away from them, and used magic developed independently to defeat them, reducing them to mere talk.

The method was quite effective, so they, which were objects of fear, have been reduced to being consumed only in creations in modern times.

However, Mukurikokuri had no substance at all, so they could not be recklessly named and degraded, and they could not even be exterminated because they were existences that only lingered in indescribable fear.

Even if I wanted to forget, I couldn’t erase the things that were imprinted on their genes and unconsciousness…

So the Japanese came up with another solution: worship.

An incomprehensible fear, an incomprehensible portrait. In other words, I tried to get out of the bondage by making it the same position as the Transcendence Bell. Their willingness to get out of fear by worshiping if they couldn’t understand was great.

As a result, the Mukuri Kokuri faith was created throughout Japan.

WhichIn places, songs were made and praised in honor of Mukuri Kokuri.

It was called the Mokko Lullaby and helped people overcome their fears and sleep.

In some places, they made dolls to catch them instead of people, and prayed for a good catch instead of taking the dolls.

In modern times, these are called mukuri kokuri dolls and have become objects used in festivals.

In some places, it was made into divination magic, relying on omnipotence commensurate with its horror.

It’s called Kokkuri-san.

In the past, it was called Kokkurisan (高句麗さん) with the Chinese character for Goguryeo, and after the Japanese colonial period, it was replaced with the name of an animal as part of Japan and Korea Oneness, and it became a sorcery called Kokkurisan (狐狗狸さん).

This sorcery spread in Korea under the name Bunshinsaba, and due to the loss and change of the rules, it was transformed into necromancy, not divination.

[Kurrurer! ]

And in some places, the Mugo brought by the Yeomong allied forces was worshiped as a god.

That was the body growling, baring its teeth in front of Jinseong.

“For an animal spirit dwelling in mere innocence, it has built up enough power. However, in hundreds of years, it hasn’t even reached the level of a yoseon, so even if it is used by me, I will have no resentment.”

Even as Jinseong showed his teeth, he laughed at the dog who couldn’t attack him.

“Beasts soaked in inertia, you’re half a penny that hasn’t reached transcendence. Take my gift.”

Cooong!

He stamped his foot vigorously. Even though it was a simple foot stomp, it shook the main hall with a huge vibration and sound like the sound of bells, and it twisted the doors and bent the pillars as if an earthquake had occurred.

[ Kwaaang! ]

Kudangtangtang!

As the main hall shook, the dog threw his body into the air as if he had waited. The lighthouse light formed a shape and flew through the air as if gliding, and the dog ran out, crashing into the twisted door. The door was easily smashed as if it were a piece of paper, and the dog should have come out and ran away… I did.

[ What? ]

There was nowhere for the dog to run.

What the dog can see is the black sky.

It was hard to believe that it was broad daylight, and the sky had turned black.

The pitch-black sky descended to the ground, encircling the shrine in the form of a dome, isolating the space, and thoroughly blocking the sun’s light, making the entire shrine sink into darkness.

Even if it is illuminated with the light that composes the body, the darkness does not disappear.

Kwa—aaa—

The black sky spoke with a roar to the poor god.

There is nowhere for you to run.

You will meet the same end as hounds do.

“If you had gained spirituality, you would have shown interest in the outside world, and if you had shown interest in the outside world, you would have noticed this. All of this is due to your laziness.”

Jinseong said so and flicked a small bell with his fingernail.

Ah— Aeng!

Sound of drops.

However, it was a thin, harsh sound that was different from the clear sound from before.

Scratching a blackboard with a wire and making people’s hair stand on end and goosebumps like a smooth and hard stone resonates. The sound that makes the resounding siren higher and higher and higher, making it almost beyond the limit of human hearing, making it scary just to hear it.

The sound that stimulated the ears and awakened the brain spread in all directions as before..

And the black sky that heard the sound began to move slowly.

As if the curtain that covered the sky was rotting away, small holes were formed here and there to let in the sun’s light, and it began to wave as it turned into a piece of cheese with holes in it. And it started to approach the dog, gradually closing the distance.

To the dog’s glowing eyes, it looked like the sky was falling.

It seemed as if the sky had collapsed and overtaken him, and a veil of darkness seemed to turn into waves and overtake him.

The memory of moving on the rolling waves in the hands of a shaman in the past came to mind, and the nightmare of that time when a hand made of sea water reached out to catch it and was repeatedly broken in a world where darkness fell was in the dog’s mind. It came to mind.

[ Kwaaang! ]

The dog howled at the memory of the past and spread its divine power in all directions.

Kwaaa!

Black sky.

No.

A swarm of mosquitoes rushed at the dog, turning the shrine black.
