Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 251

251
Yes, the two bookshelves had what looked like stains: one was a map of Yunnan, the other was a map of Taiwan.

However, it wasn’t like a treasure map where an X was marked to indicate a specific location.

It’s just a drawing of the shape of the terrain.

Yunnan and Taiwan were vaguely drawn with the feel of an ancient map.

Unlike Yunnan, which was completely unrecognizable, Taiwan Island was so similar that it could be considered a modern map.

“Why is there a map like this here? Yunnan and Iju? They don’t have anything in common. Could it be a place where the Golden Crown King, Qingyou, is likely to be found?

Then again, something seems strange? They clearly said that Cheongyu was discovered in Paltaesan···.”

As Hwa-eun said, there was no reason for the two locations to be drawn on both pages.

Even if, as Hwa-eun said, he had drawn a map of the place where the Golden Crown King, Cheong-yu, could be found, something didn’t feel right.

As a result of interrogating the Odokmun guys captured during the search by the Sacheon Murim people this time, it seems that the Four Kings, Cheongyu, was in Paltaesan.

So there was no reason for the two locations to be drawn, and they had nothing in common.

The distance is quite far, and if I had to find something in common, it would be that they are at similar latitudes and thus have similar temperatures?

There are some differences between the ocean and the inland, but Taiwan Island and central and southern Yunnan Province share the same latitude.

So, if there is a commonality, it could be that they have similar temperatures.

“Yes. Why?”

The three of them were looking at the two maps with their heads together, thinking deeply about why such a map was on the page with the information about the King of Geumgwansa.

A sound coming from the window.

-Char.

-Sia.

When I heard the sound of snakes, I looked out the window and saw Cheongyu and Yeondoo sticking their heads through the window.

What are you doing now? It’s kind of like that.

“Why are you all like that?”

Hwa-eun approached and asked, but the two did not answer and just crawled in through the window.

The two crawled straight into Hwa-eun’s quarters and came near me.

-Shia?

The question of what you are doing feels clear.

He explained with a smile.

“Oh, I was looking into one of your Heavenly and Earthly Twins, Jiyoung Shinsa. Are you bored and came to play? Wait, we were just talking.”

The two nodded their heads as if they understood what was being said.

That was when.

Seol Nui looked at Yeondu and then clapped her hands as if she had figured out something and said.

“Ah! I remembered!”

“You remembered? What was it?”

“I’m talking about Yunnan. Isn’t that where the lotus was discovered?”

Thinking back on what Sister Seol said, Yeondu was definitely a guy discovered in Yunnan.

Something crossed my mind as I listened to Sister Seol’s words.

“Ah, if it’s true as Sister Seol said, then that’s where we found the green onion. Oh! Then?”

“Yes, on one side of the bookshelf where the Golden Crown King is, there is a picture of Yunnan, and on the other side, there is a picture of Iju? If both indicate where something is, then since Yeondu was discovered in Yunnan, there might be a Jiyeongshinsa in Iju, right?”

It seemed like a fairly credible idea.

I didn’t think latitude could be a decisive commonality, but if what Sister Seol said was true, it was very decisive.

The gentleman Bicheon and the gentleman Jiyeong are a pair.

If so, then having the same latitude was a very crucial commonality since they had to live in similar temperatures.

Even though they are spirits, it was clear that they were in an environment that children liked.

“Then I guess we need to check the immigration.”

Hwa-eun and Seol-nu nodded at my words.

“Yes, Little Dragon.”

“Is it immigration this time?”

Taiwan is not a small island, so it may take a long time to search, but with Qingyou and the Heavenly God Yeondu, it will be covered somehow.

Just as Yeondoo could sense where Cheongyu was, Jiyoungshin could also move first if he sensed Cheongyu, or Cheongyu could notice first.

For that reason, it seemed like our next destination would be Taiwan.

‘There are endemic species on the island, and Taiwan has the Tokay gecko, a devil lizard, and the tree lizard. I should catch a lot of them and breed them while I’m there.

‘I’ve only raised older kids lately, so do you think the younger ones will get hungry?’

When he heard that the destination was Taiwan, this spicy Fabre’s heart started pounding.

Because it was a place that was anticipated in many ways.

***

Hwa-eun and I quickly went to see our father-in-law with what we found out.

I was trying to get permission to pull out the bull’s horn in one go.

Finding the Jiyoung Shinsa was a matter of many urgent issues, ranging from the simple matter of marrying Yeondoo, to my Odokjikyung problem, and to Cheonyu becoming a saint.

There is nothing more urgent in our family right now.

‘Of course. It’s about building up my son-in-law’s specs.’

When we arrived in front of the Gajujeon, we saw warriors trying to put a chimney inside.

After raising my hand to stop him, I turned inside and asked.

“Is your father-in-law here?”

Then, the craftsman’s voice is heard immediately.

“Come in.”

As Hwa-eun and Ga-ju-jeon entered the store after the craftsman told them to come in, they saw the craftsman wrestling with a pile of documents.

There were also several elders from other collateral branches of the family discussing something among themselves at the table in front of their father-in-law.

“Then let’s do it that way···.”

“This time, you will go to the Murim Alliance.”

“Okay, sir. I will take the kids and go.”

‘I feel like you’re incredibly busy.’

It feels like something is incredibly busy.

I scratched my head and asked, seeing how busy she was.

“Oh, if you’re busy, should I come by later?”

Then the craftsman took his eyes off the documents and smiled as he spoke.

“No. I was in the middle of writing letters to send to the Murim Alliance. Things at Paltaesan haven’t been completely settled yet. So what’s going on?”

Excluding the Odokmun bastards who had come all the way to Dangga, some of the Odokmun bastards who had been lying in wait on Paltaesan Mountain and then scattered were caught or killed by the Sacheon martial arts people, but only a very small number were captured.

The rest were scattered throughout the Central Plains.

Because of that, letters were sent here and there, asking for support. It seemed that the craftsman, who had been busy for two days, was not finished with his work yet.

Seeing my father-in-law washing his face dry as if he was tired, I decided to quickly give him some information that would cheer him up.

“Actually, I think I found a trace of where the gentleman Jiyoung is.”

When I carefully explained the reason why I came, the craftsman opened his eyes wide.

The conversation between the adults in the collateral line who had been talking also stopped for a moment.

“Really!? Is that true?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Then explain it quickly.”

The father-in-law, who had a tired face, immediately brightened up when he was told that he had found traces of the gentleman Jiyoung.

He answered the craftsman’s question with a smile and a grin.

“Actually, I found this while checking the Cheonha Dokmulbirok at Hwaeun and Hwaeun’s residence.”

“I found this with a dragon.”

The craftsman opens his eyes wide as we unfold the page we found and open the window of the book to show us the light.

A map of Yunnan appeared dimly in the streaming light.

“Oh. Another secret! Is this Yunnan?”

Unlike Hwa-eun, he is a craftsman who knows at once that it is Yunnan.

He nodded and explained where it was while showing the other side to the sunlight.

“Yes, and the other side is immigration.”

“migration?”

“Yes, Master.”

“You mean, Daewon (大員)?”

“I see that’s what you call it? Anyway, the reason why there are two maps drawn here is because Yeondu was discovered in Yunnan···.”

Characteristics of the Central Plains.

Because there are so many races, there is no standard word, so words are not unified and similar words are used in abundance.

That’s probably why in this era, Taiwan Island was also called Daiyuan or Izu. The craftsman nodded after checking the two maps and said.

“Then, is it possible that Mr. Jiyoung is in Daewon? Is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes, Master.”

As expected of a craftsman, he answered right away after a brief explanation.

The craftsman, who had been nodding his head, looked at the bookshelf a little more closely, and then tilted his head and asked.

“But that’s strange. Usually, there should be something marked on a map, but this map doesn’t have that.”

I understand that it is a map, but the question is why there are no markings on it.

“Since they are living creatures, they move around, so it seems impossible to pinpoint their exact location. So I think they may have only drawn the areas where they live.”

“That could certainly be the case.”

There may be a reason why the maps of this era are not very accurate, but the craftsman nodded his head to my explanation anyway.

The craftsman rested his chin on his hand and thought about something, then tapped the desk with a slightly worried expression on his face and spoke.

“By the way, if what you said is true, then Iju. Iju···.”

Then, the adults in the collateral line all nodded their heads.

I could roughly understand why adults reacted that way.

Why adults do that.

This time, as several of the Odogmun were caught, it became known that the Odogmun were after me, and furthermore, Iju was not currently in the Central Plains.

Migration So, Taiwan Island has a short history as a part of Central Plains.

People often misunderstand that Taiwan Island has long been part of the Central Plains, but the history of Taiwan Island’s incorporation into the Central Plains is not that long.

It was incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains in modern times.

So, he said that because he strongly believed that the island of Taiwan was a kind of overseas country.

I understand that there is a suspicion that there is a Jiyoung Shinsa there, but since Odokmun is after them, they have to go overseas, not domestically.

‘Wouldn’t it be hard to get permission?’

If you have to travel abroad, not domestically, it is natural for adults to worry.

There is no help from the Central Plains martial artists there. Even if there were, there would be no help from the government soldiers who would be of some help in maintaining public order.

As expected, the craftsman’s words continued with similar thoughts to mine.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll talk it over with my father.

But at a time like this, when the Odogmun bastards are after you, it’s a bit much to send you to a place that isn’t even the Central Plains.

“Also, it seems like I need permission or assistance from the government to immigrate… It seems like resolving that will be a big problem.”

He nodded in understanding and returned to his room.

‘So you’re saying that I need help from the government to go abroad even though I don’t have a passport?

Then, should I try putting some chimney into the ironclad leader’s mouth?’

And when the craftsman said to think about it, I was wondering how I could get permission more easily.

Hwa-eun’s voice heard in my head.

‘Little Dragon, I think I’ll need some help from my father to get his permission.’

‘Who are you talking about?’

‘If we want to take the boat to Iju, we have to go to the mouth of the Yangtze River. If we go through Nanjing and go out to Haemun, there is someone who is there.

We’ve already helped you so much once, so we don’t think you’ll turn down a favor like this.’

I thought about what Hwa-eun meant.

‘Passing Nanjing to Haemun? What’s there? The person we helped?’

When I thought about who Hwa-eun meant, there was one person who immediately came to mind.

The princess of this country, a martial arts otaku.

Certainly, if you go out to the mouth of the Yangtze River and go a little south, you will reach the Jusan Archipelago where the Putuo Rocks are located.

With the princess’s help, it seemed inevitable that I would be able to set foot on Taiwan.

‘Oh, that guy would help me more than enough. We’re both nerds, after all.’

***

What worries me the most is Hwa-eun.

In that case, I should have opposed her going to the emigration, but when I looked surprised at her actively helping me, Hwa-eun sighed and answered.

‘No matter what I say, it’s going to happen anyway. I can sense the feelings of the little dragon, so I can’t just oppose it.’

I thought that being connected with Hwa-eun 24 hours a day only had bad points, but I didn’t know there were good points too.

It seemed like I had been sending Hwa-eun nagging messages without even knowing it.

Thinking it was a good thing, he secretly sent a letter to the princess without telling her father-in-law.

The one delivering the letter is Shintu’s disciple Yeongnyeon.

Since they had promised to help each other by always supplying silver sleep, Yeongnyeon displayed lightness and headed to Jusan Islands despite the request being quite far away.

And after two weeks.

Yeongnyeon appeared in front of me while I was playing with the children in the pavilion with the princess’s letter.

“I order you to work and you just play around here?”

I had a somewhat bewildered expression on my face as I watched him play with the kids, but isn’t that how life is?

“Rather than arguing···.”

“Okay. Just take the letter.”

Yeongnyeon with her mouth sticking out and holding out a letter.

When I received the letter and opened it, it was written in a simple sentence with a refreshing handwriting, just like the princess.

“I know what you mean.

It’s good that I have some business to attend to this week. Let’s talk about the details when we meet.

“I have a small favor to ask.”

I thought it would be good if the princess had something to do with immigration, but I started to get a little worried because it was such a trivial request.

Even though it was only a one-time request from the princess, it was a request that would have made her lose her voice if it had leaked out somewhere.

‘Is it okay?’
