Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 231

231
As I was lying there blankly staring at the ceiling of the infirmary, worrying about the words that hell training would begin once my body was healed.

‘Haa… The good times of Soryong are all gone. What kind of training will he do this time? I don’t know about doing it with my body. I really hate memorizing things.’

I was really happy that I didn’t have to practice these days because I was just running around and playing around, but when I thought that my good times were probably over, things like moxibustion and acupuncture started to appear around me.

I have a feeling that treatment will start soon.

At that moment, the people at the medicine shop were preparing the ingredients to make a herbal medicine, and the old man, Mandokshin-gun, was holding a golden needle in his hand.

An urgent warrior’s voice was heard from outside.

“Go, Lord, you should come out! Little Dragon should come too.”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Even the little dragon?”

When I went outside to hear the warriors’ urgent voices, I saw their expressions of deep thought.

The eyes of the shaking warriors clearly showed that something big had happened.

“What’s going on that makes such a fuss?”

When the father-in-law frowned and asked, “What is the matter, making such a fuss?”, Musa reported with an embarrassed expression.

“Ah, hurry to Gujinmun! The Mannyeonseok Gapheol that Little Dragon brought···.”

“A ten thousand year old stone armor?”

“Ah, Cheongwol!”

Come to think of it, Cheongwol is a guy who refuses to be touched by other people.

That’s why I had to bring him inside the house myself, but it seems like he was still unable to come in because I wasn’t there, in front of the Gujinmun Gate.

Or maybe I wasn’t there and someone else tried to bring it in and something happened.

‘But what happened when Seol Noona and Gupae Daeju were there?’

Even if I wasn’t here, if Seol Nui wasn’t here and Gupaedaju, who I’d met by coming here, was with me, nothing big would have happened, but no matter how I think about it, it’s strange.

Even though I don’t know the owner of the old one, I wouldn’t refuse the hand of Seol Noo-i.

“Grandfather, I think we should first examine Cheongwol, or rather Mannyeonseok Gapheol. We can treat him later.”

“Okay, be careful on your way back. Don’t use your internal energy. And don’t run around either.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

After confirming Cheongwol and persuading his grandfather to come and get treatment, he was carried by his father-in-law and ran out to the entrance of the house. Then he could see why the warrior of the house was running so hurriedly.

Because I could see at a glance the magnificent and beautiful Gujinmun Gate of the Tang Dynasty falling like dominoes.

From the first sentence to the last sentence, in a neat and tidy manner.

All of the old gates were moved inside the Tang house without any exception.

“What, what is this?”

The craftsman is bewildered by the sight of Gu Jin-moon lying down like a domino.

The nine doors at the entrance to this Tang house are the pride of the Tang house, but it was quite disconcerting to see not just one but all of them gone.

‘It’s chaos.’

“How did this happen?”

When Cheongwol asked Seol Nui, who was making an awkward expression next to her, Seol Nui answered with an awkward smile.

“Ahaha. That’s why. When you were being taken away by the adults, Cheongwol tried to follow you and got caught in the door···.

“I tried to pull it out… but no one else could do anything since I was the only one who could do it. I tried to get out on my own and ended up like this….”

When I was suddenly dragged away by the adults, Cheongwol, who followed me thinking something had happened, got caught up in Gu Jinmun’s group, and while trying to escape, ended up getting caught in the group.

The other doors were said to have fallen like dominoes in the aftermath.

I glanced at my father-in-law, and he was smiling with a dejected expression.

I remembered what my father-in-law had said earlier, so I apologized and added a word.

“I’m sorry, Master. As Master said, there is a price to pay for big things…”

Then the master craftsman, startled, spoke with the corners of his lips trembling.

Because I have something to say.

“Then, that’s fine. Then that’s possible. First, let’s bring the Mannyeonseok Gapheol inside. The door… Can’t we just put it back up?”

I didn’t feel okay at all, so what can I do if I feel okay?

As the craftsman had said, we decided to rebuild the gate later, and first got on Cheongwol and guided him towards the hillside next to the entrance of the house.

“Cheongwol, let’s go up there.”

-Krrrr.

And after a while.

I climbed the slope and arrived at the widest open space in the middle of Danggasan Mountain and spoke to my father-in-law.

“I think we need to first decide where the children will live.”

My treatment is important, but the more urgent issue is finding a place for the children.

The craftsman nodded at my words.

“Um… That’s right. I can’t leave my precious spirits outside, you know. Oh, and please discuss with me about where the children will live. Don’t decide on your own like you did with King Geummobong last time. Got it?”

But judging from the words of wanting to discuss it, it seems that he was somewhat uncomfortable with losing the pavilion next to the pond during the Geummobongwang incident, just like Hwaeun.

It probably means asking for permission.

Since it seemed like it would be a hassle, I thought it would be better to just look around together while we’re at it.

“Yes? Oh, of course, Master. Well, I have a few places in mind. Shall we take a look together?”

“Well, is that so? So, do you have a place in mind?”

First, I decided to take Cheongwol and my father-in-law to the places I had thought of, and then I pointed to the large smokehouse next to the vacant lot and asked my father-in-law.

“Yes. First, over there. Is it okay, Master?”

The place I was pointing to was not the large, old tree-lined smokehouse that was the home of the King of Geummo, but a smokehouse with a stone floor similar to the smokehouse that the Kunlun Sect had temporarily provided to Cheongwol.

It was the largest parade ground in the Tang Dynasty.

They say it’s used when the family holds an event or goes on a military expedition, but I’ve never seen it used since I came here, so I wondered what a grand parade would be like.

It was the widest one and it didn’t even need to be used, so it seemed perfect for Cheongwol to use.

I think I’ll be able to adapt well since I lived in a similar environment when I was in Kunlun.

“Ahem… That, that place?”

When I asked my father-in-law if it was okay to use the smokehouse next to the vacant lot as Cheongwol’s residence, he coughed in vain.

It didn’t seem like it would work, but since Cheongwol is so big, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable in a narrow place?

Since this was the biggest place they had thought of, before the craftsman said no, he asked Cheongwol, who was next to him, for his opinion.

Even though we said we would look around and discuss it together, I didn’t say we would do as my father-in-law said.

‘It’s not good for Cheongwol to feel suffocated.’

“Cheongwol, how do you like it here? Where you will live?”

-Crouches. “Is this where I live?”

“Oh, no, son-in-law. That’s why···.”

Cheongwol stands up and looks over the wall at my question.

The craftsman’s panicked voice was heard from behind.

However, Cheongwol, who had looked inside the training ground, immediately rejected my offer.

-Kur. “I don’t like it here, it’s like a desert.”

“You don’t like it? Don’t you like deserts?”

“You don’t like it?”

The father-in-law’s face brightens at Cheongwol’s refusal.

“Yes, you say you don’t like it?”

“Then, let’s quickly go look somewhere else.”

When the father-in-law was delighted at Cheongwol’s refusal, he explained the reason for his refusal.

-Krrr. “No. Because I needed a place to hide. Because people bother me. I don’t really like deserts. It’s covered during the day and cold at night.”

“okay?”

I thought it was a desert scorpion, but since it was so big, it felt like there was no other place for it to hide, so most of the places I initially thought of were ruled out.

After thinking it over carefully, he climbed onto Cheongwol’s horse and pointed towards the mountain.

“Then, let’s go over there. There’s an open space on the mountain side. There are trees and grass there.”

That was because there was an empty lot on the mountain side as well.

There are many poisonous plants growing there, and the view down the mountain is very nice.

It might be a little cold at night, but you can just ask the demon to pitch a big tent for you.

-Kurut. “Okay.”

At my suggestion, Cheongwol started moving towards the mountain again.

As I was riding on Cheongwol’s back and heading to the next place I had in mind, after passing three or four pavilions, I heard the sound of bees’ wings flapping for the first time in a long time.

-Boooo. Booooo.

As I turned my head towards where the sound was coming from, the pond of the Golden Phoenix King began to come into view.

The pond beyond the wall is visible at a glance as it is on top of Cheongwol’s body.

White and red lotus flowers were in full bloom, covering more than half of the pond.

And in the pavilion next to the pond, the house seemed to have grown a bit since I left, and now I could see the golden crowned phoenixes coming and going on the second floor.

‘Once Cheongwol’s residence is decided, I should go and greet Langhu and Nanhu as well.’

The scenery of the pond, which had become more beautiful than before I left, reminded me of Langhu and Nanghu, and I was just passing by the pond, thinking that I should go and greet them as soon as Cheongwol’s residence was decided.

The blue moon suddenly stops.

Suddenly a shadow appeared over my head, so I looked up and saw Cheongwol’s tail pointing to a spot above my head.

‘huh?’

The place Cheongwol’s tail points to is a pond.

Looking down, Cheongwol pointed to the pond with her tail and asked if that was okay.

-Crouches. “Can’t we do that?”

“excuse me?”

-Kreung. “I like small lakes with lots of flowers.”

In the picture, Cheongwol looks like a somewhat experienced warrior, so he seems like he would like a bleak environment, but surprisingly, he seems to have a girlish taste.

However, although I wanted to respect Cheongwol’s taste, I felt that I should first ask the opinion of Langhu, the queen of Geummobongwang.

The Kings of Geummobong did not consider the surrounding area as their territory because the palace was so high, but since it was a place where there was an owner, they had to check whether they would give up their territory.

I was planning to put the Hoyes in the pond, so it shouldn’t be a big problem, but outside the water it’ll be a bit of a different problem.

“Just wait a minute. I’ll go ask the bees over there.”

-Krrrr.

As I jumped down from Cheongwol’s body and ran to the pavilion near the pond, the guys who saw me flew towards me.

-Buuuung.

-Response.

The guys who had seen me after a long time flew in and circled my body as if they were happy to see me.

“Oh, so how is everyone? Can I see the Queen?”

After greeting each of the guys one by one and asking to meet the Queen, the guys grabbed me, two on each shoulder, and flew up to the top of the fifth floor.

A body that flies with its feet slowly lifting off the ground.

From the fifth floor to the fourth floor, the third floor, and the second floor.

A different feeling than the flight with the superman enveloped my body.

So when I reached the top railing on the fifth floor, they put me down on the inside of the railing and disappeared into the window of the pavilion to find the queen bee.

-Booooow.

Then, a moment later, two tentacles pop out through the window.

The tentacles that had slightly escaped moved as if checking the surroundings, and soon became fixed on me.

Then, Ranhu sticks his head out of the window.

-Booooow!

I thought I was reflected in his eyes, and then he rushed towards me and hugged me.

“Wow, wow.”

As I was hugging the guy who suddenly charged at me and fell on his butt, the guy made a noise that seemed to be expressing some very complicated complaint.

-Boooo. Boooo.

I thought it was because I hadn’t shown my face for a while, so I patted the guy’s head and apologized.

I said I would go there and come back, but I ended up being really late because I had to go all the way to Cheonghae.

“I’ve been away for a while. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you often.”

A guy who crosses his arms with his forelegs as if he doesn’t like my apology.

When I repeatedly apologized to the boy, only then did Langhu release his arm and wiggle his antenna as if he would forgive me just this once.

-Boohoo!

“Oh, yeah, thanks.”

Why do all the kids seem a bit obsessed?

I decided to bring up the main topic that I had been keeping in mind, thinking that raising a spirit is really not easy.

“Ah, Langhu, I actually have a favor to ask.”

-Huh?

A guy who tilts his head when told that he has a favor to ask.

“Actually, I brought some friends with me when I went far away this time. Can they live by the pond here for a while?”

-Booooong?

He pointed to Cheongwol, who was looking far away from the railing and waiting to see how the story would turn out.

“That guy over there is my name, Cheongwol. He’s the new friend I brought with me.”

-Boohoo!?

Langhu’s voice cracked as he looked slightly surprised after seeing the distant Cheongwol.

As the queen bee continued to buzz, a few worker bees jumped out of the hive, grabbed me, and began to drag me forward.

Let’s look back and see Langhu following us.

“Huh? Want to say hello?”

As Cheongwol arrived in front, Langhu, who had followed behind, crossed his arms with his forelegs, tilted his head, and looked at Cheongwol with a crooked look.

The hind legs moved as if they were tapping in the air.

‘Something feels strange?’

It was a slightly strange atmosphere.
