Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 249

249
Although it is an old page, the letters are sharp and shiny as if they were just written.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the book because of the golden letters.

“What, what is this!?”

“It seems to be a writing left by our ancestors. It seems to be the writing of our ancestor Dang Hwa-seong, the youngest son of our ancestor Dang Mun-ryong, the third generation head of the family who wrote this book.

Little Dragon, come here. If it’s something that appears and disappears in an instant, you’ll see it better than we do. You know poison better than we do.

If it’s a coincidence related to poison, it might suit you better.”

“but···.”

“hurry!”

While I was talking to the craftsman, my grandfather suddenly called me over. It may have been a great coincidence, but my grandfather gave me the contents of the book.

But of course, I couldn’t help but hesitate, and then Hwa-eun’s urging voice rose in my mind.

And the voices of the father-in-law and mother-in-law continued.

‘Little Dragon, hurry up!’

“You are like my son to me. It would be ridiculous to hesitate because you are my son-in-law.”

“Son-in-law, come quickly.”

Feeling grateful for the way her family took care of her husband and son-in-law, she bowed her head to everyone to express her gratitude and quickly stood in front of her grandfather.

“Thank you, everyone.”

As I moved my gaze from the book in front of my grandfather, I saw bright, clear letters.

But I don’t know if it was fate or what, but the first content started out as a somewhat sarcastic question.

“If you’ve seen this writing, you must have gotten the Death King, right? To read the writing written with the Death King’s poison, the Death King must be present. Another poison-mad person has appeared in our family, besides me. Is this a blessing or a curse?”

‘Something feels wrong?’

But what happened next was enough to surprise me.

“Yeah, by the way, was it before or after your Death King ate the soul?”

“Soul? If it’s a soul?”

When I tilted my head at the sudden appearance of the ghost, my grandfather explained it to me.

“You’ve probably heard the saying, ‘Little Dragon, your soul is in shambles’, right?”

“Yes, Grandpa. Doesn’t that mean you’re completely out of your mind?”

“Yes, but the original meaning is a bit different.

A human being is made up of spirit and flesh. The flesh, as you know, is the physical body, and the spirit is what allows a person to think and feel emotions. When a person dies, it is divided into the soul and spirit.

However, this soul has positive and negative properties, so when a person dies, the positive energy of the soul flies to the sky, and the negative energy of the soul scatters to the ground. This means the death of a person.”

It sounds like something complicated and difficult, but anyway, you can understand it as something like a soul.

At that moment, something crossed my mind.

At that time, the King of Geumgwan swallowed something from the mouth of the dead Cheongyu.

‘Then, the Golden Crown King swallowed Cheongyu’s soul!?’

I thought something was clearly flowing out of Cheongyu’s mouth and into Geumgwansawang’s mouth, but the sight was truly bizarre.

It’s not that I feel like I saw it with my eyes, but rather that some sensory organ in my body sensed that there was something there.

I felt my spine tingle and the hairs on my body stand on end as I turned my gaze to the bottom row of the book.

“After eating the soul, it could be painful depending on who it is.

If that’s something precious, then yes. But then take some comfort in the fact that there have already been people in your situation before.

I will take some comfort in the fact that there are people who have the same pain as I do.

I don’t know what kind of soul your Death King ate, but my Death King ate the soul of my concubine.

Oh, should I say that it was a squabble?

She has been my mistress since I was little.

She was like an older sister, a younger sister, a mother, and a lover, but I didn’t know how precious she was until I lost her. Why was that?

Oh, that was a long, pointless speech.

Is this before feeding the soul?

Well then, you’re in luck.

If you haven’t fed the spirit yet, then release the King of Death quickly.

Because you’ll end up regretting it later.

If you are having trouble understanding what I am saying, I will tell you why, so listen carefully.

“Feeding the spirits… What is this?”

“The King of the Dead eats the souls of people?”

I could hear the surprised voices of my grandfather and Hwa-eun behind me as they read along.

I looked down.

“The Golden Crown King must shed his skin three times to become fully grown.

The first is when the energy swallowed from all things in the universe is fully accumulated in the body.

The second time was when he obtained two snakes called Cheonjisangjang to serve the Golden Crown King.

The third time was when he ate a human soul and stole that person’s appearance.

The first one is no problem because it will naturally shed its layers over time. The real problem starts from the second one.

The two generals of Cheonjisangjang are snakes led by the King of Geumgwansa, one of which is Bicheonsinsa (a flying god).

Snake) The other one is the Jiyeongsinsa (Earth Swimming God Snake).

The two serve the Golden Crown King as a pair for their entire lives.

However, it won’t be easy to obtain them, as both are great spirits, so it will be difficult to find just one.

Anyway, when the two become general snakes, the Golden Crown King sheds his skin once more.

And finally, when you swallow someone’s soul, you shed your skin for the last time.

Then the Golden Crown King will grow to perfection.

‘The second and third might be out of order?’

Our Cheongyu has already met the third condition and shed its shell, but has not yet obtained the Heaven and Earth Twins.

I read the text again because it seemed like the order didn’t matter.

“It was a long explanation, but now I will explain to you why you must abandon the Golden Crown King, which you are probably wondering about.

I don’t know why, but in order for the Golden Crown King to grow, he must swallow a human soul.

First of all, don’t worry in advance. The Golden Crown King doesn’t attack people and swallow their souls.

You’ll probably be targeting someone who died suddenly around you.

It may not be a big deal since it’s the spirit of a person who is already dead, but it’s not just being swallowed up.

It seems like the spirit of the swallowed one sometimes appears to the Golden Crown King?

I know you won’t understand what I’m saying, but just listen.

My wife died suddenly from tuberculosis.

Several years after the King of Death swallowed her spirit and took on her appearance, the family prepared to marry me off to another young lady.

Every time I saw the King of Death, I thought of her, but I accepted the wedding in order to forget her.

But that night, I told the news to the King of Gold Crown as if I was confessing my mistake out of regret.

I saw the Golden Crown Prince crying alone under the moonlight.

Those eyes under the moonlight. Those weren’t the eyes of the Death King.

It was a look in her eyes that I had seen dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times.

That’s how I found out she was in it.

But no one in my family believed me.

It just seemed to me that I was possessed by a demon in my family.

That’s understandable, because he got caught making out with her.

haha.

In the end, my family refused my marriage and I started doing strange things with the Four Kings, so they released the Four Kings to a place I didn’t know about, so I had to wander the Central Plains again to find her.

But I wandered my whole life, and never saw her again.

You must have been curious because there was no information or appearance about the King of Gold in the Chronicles of the World.

I filled in the pictures of all the poisons, but how did I miss one?

Because I couldn’t let anyone else catch it.

How could you leave the image of the woman you loved behind and let someone else catch you?

As time goes by, who knows if it will be the next generation or the generation after that.

‘Oh my.’

I wondered why this adult ran away from home, but it turns out he had a secret.

I didn’t dislike the pure romantic, so I closed my eyes and prayed for his soul to rest in peace.

‘amen.’

When I pray in my heart for the soul of Dang Hwa-seong, I hear a voice.

“Then, that woman, Cheong-yu, is alive inside the Golden Crown King… No, she’s already dead, so she’s not alive, but her spirit is inside the Golden Crown King, right?”

“I guess so.”

“Look here. Lady Cheongyu?”

Hwa-eun asked the King of Geumgwansa as if she was looking for the human Cheong-yu, but the King of Geumgwansa simply tilted his head.

-Shia?

“What? Is it just that the words of the Martian ancestors are wrong?”

Hwa-eun asks if her ancestors were joking.

But it couldn’t be a lie.

No matter how much a man loves the poison he raises, where is the man who doesn’t get married and instead spends his whole life searching for it?

That’s either a real psychopath or a mentally ill person.

There was a part that I had a bit of an idea about.

“Perhaps the blue milk is not a complete adult, but it could be.”

“Oh, because you’re still young?”

“yes.”

Hwa-eun thought carefully about what I said and then said.

“If the spirit of Lady Cheongyu really exists within the Geumgwansa Temple, it would be helpful in finding out the location and circumstances of the Odokmun.”

“I see.”

“That’s definitely true.”

Even adults seem to agree.

Jiyeongsinsa (Earth Swimming God Snake) I felt like I had to look for that.

‘The name is nice too?’

We have already eaten the soul, so all that remains is to prepare the Heaven and Earth Twin Towers to make the Golden Crown King into a saint.

I was also very curious about what would happen when the Golden Crown King became an adult.

***

The next day, the Tang family’s direct martial arts training ground.

My grandfather and I met at the training ground to achieve the long-awaited goal of becoming a monk.

-Sia.

Of course, the Golden Crown King, Cheongyu, is also included.

Seol-i, Bing-i, and Dong-i decided to register last, so they decided to register Cheong-yu, the King of Geumgwan Temple, first and ascend to the level of Sadokji.

First of all, the number four (四) overlaps with the character for snake (蛇) in sound, so if it’s the fourth, it’s obviously a snake.

Since he couldn’t draw blood, he put his finger into the mouth of the Golden Crown Prince, Cheongyu, then quickly took it out and started registering.

‘Let’s go to Sadokjigyeong!’

I closed my eyes and practiced the Beast Heart Exercise.

Hoping you get registered quickly.

But it seems like some time has passed and the beast’s heart is not responding at all.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked at Cheongyu, and Cheongyu was yawning with a big mouth.

Originally, one Beast Heart would have been enough for everything, but strangely, Cheongyu was not registering.

I was trying to keep it simple, but I had a feeling it would be a bit cumbersome.

‘What? Why isn’t it working? Should I just try the Odokguiwonshinkong?’

The poison registration in the Odokguiwonsingong is originally from the Beast Heart Gong.

But what can I do if I can’t register as a beast?

I should try it with the Odokguiwon nerve.

Finally, I tried the Odokguiwonshinkong after a long time. However, just like the Beast Heart Gong, there was no response at all.

I tilted my head and asked my grandfather, who was watching me closely, in case I was being dragged into the imaginary world.

“That’s strange, Grandpa. I can’t register.”

“You said no?”

“yes.”

“What is the Odokguiwonsingong?”

“That’s the same.”

“What? I guess I should call my sister-in-law first.”

Seol, who came running at our call, looked at my grandfather and me at the dawn training ground and asked.

“You’re saying that the Golden Crown King can’t connect with the Beast’s Heart?”

“Yes, Sister Seol. I registered with the King of Geumgwansa Cheongyu and entered the realm of Sa-dok, and a few days later, I tried to enter the realm of O-dok with Seol, Dong, and Bing-i, but the Beast Heart did not respond at all.”

“Is the same true for the Odokguiwonsingong? Sir?”

“That’s right. Little Dragon said that no matter how many times he tried, it wouldn’t work.”

My older sister checked that I was using the Beast Heart and then said with a look of disbelief.

“Let’s check it together, sir. It would be better to look at it from both sides.”

“Okay.”

Soon, a joint detailed diagnosis was conducted by my older sister and grandfather, and eventually, the opinion was gathered that the primary cause was the problem with Cheongyu, the King of Geumgwansa.

Unlike my sister, my beast heart is connected to my poison heart.

So, to reach the level of Dokgong, you need to have poison, but Cheongyu didn’t have any poison.

It should have had its own poison, but Cheong-yu didn’t have any poisonous fangs.

There are some slightly pointed molars, though.

So the opinion was that registration itself was impossible.

“But why is there no poison? Didn’t you clearly say that the writing with the poison of the Golden Crown King appeared in the book yesterday?”

“It doesn’t seem to be poisonous because it’s not an adult yet.”

However, if that is the reason, it can be explained that the level of poison did not increase, but the problem is that the registration of Hwaeun without poison was not explained.

Because even non-poisonous Hwaeun has been registered.

“But then that doesn’t explain the connection between Hwa-eun and Hwa-eun?”

Two people clutching their chins at my words.

After thinking for a while and exchanging opinions, the grandfather said:

“You say you have mastered the Beast’s Heart Technique, but your Beast’s Heart Technique is connected to the Poison Technique.

You could say that it’s a bit different from what my cousin, Seol Sa-don, learned.

Also, isn’t there a poison that Hwa-eun took in to accustom her body to the poison, even though it’s not her own poison? Dangga’s poison is taking in numerous poisons to create her own poison.

“Your poison skill level hasn’t increased because your poison hasn’t been completed, but since you have poison, you’ve connected through the beast’s heart skill. But since the Golden Crown King doesn’t have any poison at all, isn’t it possible that they’re not connected?”

“surely···.”

According to my grandfather’s explanation, everything was correct.

“Then what should I do?”

My grandfather smiled and answered my question.

“I must find the Jiyeong Shrine and turn the Geumgwansa King into a saint.”

“I guess the only way is to first try turning Cheongyu into an adult?”

“okay.”

Eventually, there was one more reason to find the gentleman Jiyoung, and for that reason, it seemed like it would be possible to go and catch the gentleman Jiyoung legally.

‘Jiyeongsinsa (Swimming Snake) If you wait, your brother will come. I hope he’s a handsome guy.’

I was really curious about what our green groom would look like.
