Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 206

206
‘You think it’s hard to be where you are now? You’ve definitely grown to a higher level.’

My sister Seol’s words that I need to grow more made me think again about my level.

Because in my opinion, it didn’t seem like my level was lacking at all.

Originally, I was only able to take in Cho’s poison and was in a state of complete intoxication, but I took in Hwayang’s poison and became in a state of complete intoxication.

Now, I had accidentally taken in Cheongwol’s poison and was now in a state of three poisons.

Is that Samdokjigyeong simply a Samdokjigyeong?

My three poisons are the poisons of three of the five poisons that are the source of the Five Poisons of the Origin of the Holy Spirit.

It was completely different from the typical Tang family’s three poisonous warriors.

Each one is filled with teenage poison, and not only is the quality of the poison different, but the texture itself is fundamentally different.

Yet, it was difficult to understand that it was insufficient.

I haven’t been able to check properly because my current physical condition is a mess, but when I think about how I went from one poison to two poisons, I’m sure that three poisons would be much more severe.

That’s why I couldn’t help but ask again.

“You say I need to raise my level? I took Cheongwol’s poison and reached the Samdokji level. I’ve also collected three poisons that form the basis of the Odokguiwonsingong.”

Then, Seol’s sister snapped her fingers.

My older sister said with a look of incredulity.

“It’s not a matter of internal energy or the level of the mind method. You have learned the Wild Beast Mind Technique itself, not just the martial arts of the Odokgunwonshin Gongan, right?

“The Beast Heart is not a martial art that increases in level just by increasing your internal energy. The Beast Heart is a martial art that requires training of the mind. In order to perfectly connect with that child, you must train your mind.”

“Huh? You say I have to train my mind?”

Seol’s explanation reminds me of a situation where she was suddenly asked if I knew the way of my past life.

I was blinking in bewilderment at the words of Sister Seol, who explained that I had to train my mind.

A sound was heard again from Cheongwol’s side.

-Cr···.

As I turned my head, I saw Cheongwol, whose eyes met mine, shaking her tongs in a chic manner.

‘Then, take care. I’ll go.’ Something like that.

Then he turned around again.

It was clear that he had good intentions since he brought me here because I was sick, but it was also clear that he would not go with me.

But I couldn’t just let Cheongwol go like this.

It was a situation where I was kind of greedy because it was like letting go of a guy I had caught, but there was a bigger problem than just whether he followed me or not.

The Odokmun bastards have confirmed Cheongwol’s appearance, so if we send him away like this, he could become their target.

If the Odogmun bastards found out that the guy didn’t come out and went back into the desert, they would definitely try to capture him again.

He quickly walked towards the guy, holding his injured side and bending over to block him.

“No, if we continue like this, those guys might show up again like last time···.”

-Krrrr···.

Cheongwol said with a worried expression, “All you have to do is press down on those guys,” as if she were pressing down on an ant to kill someone.

Certainly, when I thought about the horrible smell and traces wafting around me when I woke up, Cheongwol’s confidence was not unfounded.

It seemed like he had just killed ten or so of the Odokmun warriors.

But no matter how strong a body he has, Cheongwol must have weaknesses just like I did when I caught Pungheol.

Those guys are also bloodshot eyes trying to collect spirits, so there must be a way to catch Cheongwol.

Because they are the ones who know how to block the poison of grass.

“That’s true, but it could still be dangerous. Ha···. I’m worried that it’s dangerous to send it like this···.”

That was when.

-Tsurur?

In that moment, Hyang-i, who had escaped from my arms, poked her head out from between my collar, looked at Cheongwol, and tilted her head.

Still looking slightly sleepy.

The little guy’s tentacles were shaky, so it seemed like he had just woken up from his sleep in her arms. When Cheongwol said his final goodbyes to Hyang, Hyang was startled.

-Cre.

-Churut!?

Hyang-i’s antennae stood upright as if surprised, and then Hyang-i immediately flew into the air.

And then he ran to Cheongwol like a puppy and quickly hung on to one of his front legs.

A single yellow chewing gum hanging from a large gray leg.

Something like that.

-Tsrrrr!

When Hyang-i hugged Cheongwol’s leg, saying she couldn’t just let her sister go, a very flustered voice came out from Cheongwol.

-Uh, crock?

He looked very embarrassed that the little guy was stuck to his leg and wouldn’t let him go.

Contrary to her appearance or appearance in the imagination, Cheongwol is a very considerate friend.

Even when he carried me up, he seemed very careful not to shake, but Cheongwol was afraid that Hyang-i would get seriously hurt if he moved around for no reason, so he just stood there without moving an inch.

-Ugh, ugh!

-Churut!

And the bickering that followed.

Let go!

I can’t do that! I can never let my sister go!

‘Oh! Could this be it!?’

As a fierce battle ensued between Hyang-i and Cheongwol, after a while Cheongwol looked at me and asked for help.

Come and give me some scent.

But these days, is our Hyang-i a child who listens to me?

He said with an embarrassed expression, as he was a boy who had gone through puberty and would never evolve.

“Even I can’t stop Hyang-i.”

Cheongwol suddenly got angry when I told her that I had some selfish intentions of not sending it.

-Krrrr!

Why can’t Dad have even one child?

That sharp voice shot out immediately.

But I had something to say too.

Where can I find a child who does whatever I want?

‘Do you think that’s what they say when they tell you to raise three daughters? I told you that in my past life, none of the words the adults said were wrong. I never had a single child who did what I wanted.’

He pouted and said that he had never raised a child before, but he quickly came to his senses and cautiously made a suggestion to Cheongwol.

Because this was an opportunity.

“Cheongwol, don’t do that. It seems like it would be difficult to go back like this because of the fragrance. Do you want to do it like this?”

-A bowl?

“We won’t be here long either. I’ll leave once my body heals. Just stay until then and then go. You’ll be alone in the desert anyway, right?

I think it’s because you’re sad that Hyang-i is leaving so soon. You’d be bored if you were alone in the desert. There’s Yo-hwa here, and Cho-rang and Bin-i are here too, so you wouldn’t be bored, right?”

Cheongwol was deeply lost in thought after hearing my words.

The guy’s body trembled slightly as if he was sighing, and then a reply was heard.

-Krrr. “I can’t help it…”

The answer is yes.

At those words, Hyang-i, who was excited, climbed up onto Cheongwol’s forehead and licked it excitedly.

It seemed like he felt better when he heard that he would stay.

-Churrup. Churrup.

-Krrrr!

Cheongwol felt embarrassed and told her to stop, but Hyang-i did not stop her actions.

‘Well done, our Hyang!’

Since Hyang-i had bought me time, I thought I should somehow figure out a way to get my body to recover.

***

After arriving in Kunlun, we received a greeting from the Kunlun elders and took our seats in the reception hall where only distinguished guests stay.

People were given a break and for me, treatment began right away.

Because I wasn’t in good enough condition to take it easy.

“Now, lay down over here.”

“Yes, Elder.”

The medical hall of Kunlun was established with the help of Taeheo.

It was a place where various medicinal herbs were hung here and there in sacks, giving off a very strong fragrance.

It was a place that gave off an atmosphere similar to a Tang dynasty’s medicine hall, and the place I was laid down was a bamboo bed in the middle of the medicine hall.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, the Kunlun elder took off my upper garment, looked at the cloth that Taihe had tied up, smiled, and said:

“Tae-heo, if you had taken care of it, things wouldn’t have been so bad.”

Then Taeheoja shook his head and said.

“No, Elder. The wound seems so deep, and there are even stone fragments attached, so I couldn’t examine it properly.”

“Really? Well then, I guess I should take a look inside first.”

-Thud.

A Kunlun elder who cuts cloth with a curved blade, either a dagger used in a medical office or a sword.

As the bandage fell off, a piece of rock fell out with it.

Perhaps it should be said that the stone poison that was blocked naturally fell off as it absorbed Cheongwol’s poison and developed resistance?

What was revealed was a huge wound.

A hole slightly smaller than a fist was revealed on the waistband, indicating that a hand had penetrated it.

There were small wounds where five fingers had dug in, and marks where they had been pierced separately but eventually became large tears.

I noticed a red trace that seemed to be connected like a crack.

“It’s not a place where your bones are injured, but I’m worried because it’s where your internal organs are. Did you eat anything?”

“It doesn’t seem like it had any internal injuries, but I didn’t give it any water just in case.”

Because I was told not to even drink water just in case, I am now just moistening my mouth and not drinking water.

The elder in charge of the pharmacy nodded at Tae-Heo’s words.

“Good job. Then I’ll have to check it out in more detail.”

When the Kunlun elder wanted to examine my wound in more detail, he was about to place his hand near the wound.

-Tsrrrr.

When I lowered my gaze at the sound, I saw Hyang-i poking her head out from under the untied arms of her clothes and looking at the wound.

“Is there a big Wukong here too?”

The elder wasn’t surprised because he had introduced our children to the Kunlun elders and other elders earlier, but he still couldn’t approach Xiang Yi.

Before I could speak first and reject Hyang-i, Tae-heo smiled at Hyang-i and spoke.

“Hyang-ah, would you please step back a little so I can examine your father’s body?”

-Tsurut!

Then, a scent started to move and climb up a nearby pillar.

Hyang-i, who had climbed up onto the pillar, began to look at my wounds from above the pillar.

“Haha, I didn’t believe what I said, but now that I see it for myself, I can’t help but believe it. You said she was your daughter, but doesn’t she really look like a human child?”

A long man with a kind smile.

Hyang-i asked at Jang Moon-in’s smile.

-Tsururut?

“What are you saying?”

What Hyang-i asked was whether he was badly hurt, and the elder interpreted what he said and gave the answer.

“I wonder if you’re badly injured.”

“Oh. Really? Since I was just looking into it, I’ll explain it to you while I look into it.”

The Kunlun elder touches my wounds, examines them, and breathes energy into them.

The Kunlun elder, who had been checking the wound for a long time, checked not only the waist but also several other places, and then said with a slightly surprised expression.

“This body’s blood flow almost got damaged. But if I boil some medicine and use my magic, it’ll get better. The wound on your waist isn’t shallow. It’ll leave a big scar.”

-Tsurut. Tsururut.

When Hyang-i started crying again, the Kunlun elder looked at me as if asking me to interpret Hyang-i’s question, as if it was fun.

I interpreted Hyang-i’s question once again.

“Red water, that means there was a lot of blood, so he’s asking me not to get sick. Ahem.”

“Hehehe. You said you were my daughter, but isn’t she really a filial daughter? Yes, don’t worry, I will make sure your father doesn’t get hurt.”

Our Xiang, who quickly stole Elder Kunlun’s heart because her speech was very cute and pretty.

The elder smiled warmly without realizing it, and asked Hyang-i before starting my treatment.

“I guess I’ll have to start with the magic first. You might get sleepy, so if you do, you can just go to sleep. Are you going to stay there and watch? It’ll probably take a while, right?”

-Tsrrrr.

When Elder Kunlun asked, Xiang Yi nodded and disappeared through the crack in the medicine hall’s door. Then Elder Kunlun spoke to himself in a cautious voice.

“Ahem. I wish I could raise one too.”

It was clear that we were all captivated by the sight of our Hyang-i, the pioneer in spreading the culture of companion animal poisoning.

***

Hyang-i, who escaped from a place filled with the pungent scent of medicine, headed straight to one place.

I was going to see my sister.

So, I searched my memory and headed to the training ground where my sister was.

It was when I was crawling towards the training ground.

A voice is heard.

“Oh my. Where’s Wukong?”

-Sreung.

When someone saw Hyang-i and pulled out what looked like a knife, another person nearby stopped him with a surprised look on his face.

“Oh my! This guy is going to be in big trouble! Didn’t I tell you not to harm him recklessly because there are poisons that I’ve brought to the guests of the Tang family and I’ve never seen poisons before!”

“Oh, oops. I didn’t mean to.”

“Be careful. Everyone said that you were like a child raised by the Tang family’s small group.”

The place that Hyang-i arrived at after passing the two noisy warriors was a large open space.

My sister in front of me had her eyes closed with a pleasant expression.

Her aunt and mother drew water from the well and washed her body, and it seemed that this really touched Cheongwol’s heart.

My sister drying her body in the sunlight.

Hyang-i, who had been crawling, asked her older sister.

-Tsururur. “Sister Cheongwol, what should I do to become stronger?”

This was because the wound left on her father’s waist a little while ago filled Hyang-i’s mind.
