Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 250

250
Grandfather and Sister Seol said they would talk a little more about my condition, and I was on my way back from the training ground with the final decision that the Odokjigyeong would be put on hold.

Although I felt a little regretful that I couldn’t get on the Odok right away, I didn’t feel particularly upset because my head was full of thoughts about Yeondoo’s prospective groom.

‘Yeah, I always liked learning martial arts.’

Martial arts were not that high on my life priorities, and they were somewhat pushed back, but it was a problem that would all be solved once I made Cheongyu an adult.

If I make Cheongyu an adult, I will get Yeondu’s groom, and although it is not certain, I will also be able to climb the Odok.

‘Poison comes first, and martial arts is like a side income gained from it.

‘I feel like I’m broadcasting as a YouTuber and I’m getting advertisements from companies?’

Finding the Jiyoung Shrine wasn’t going to be easy, but since there were two snakes associated with him, the odds were better than just taking him out on nothing.

Considering that Yeondoo said she would follow me on a rainy day, it seemed that Cheonjissangjang must have felt something when Geumgwansawang’s position got closer.

The distance from where Dangga and Cheongyu first molted is about 20 li (8 km).

Because if you just come inside, you’ll be able to sense either side.

‘This alone is very beneficial.’

Let’s take a quick look back and see Cheongyu following me around.

Cheong-yu’s body was sliding along the ground in an S-shape, really gently.

‘Elegant, elegant.’

I was a little worried that since it was a wild animal and not registered as a beast, it might be violent or disobedient, but Cheongyu was more gentle than I thought.

At night, he slept very quietly in a corner of my room, and never really clashed with the other children.

Although Yeondoo was acting as a bridge between the existing poisonous friends.

‘You seem to have a slightly bland personality. Fortunately.’

Raising several poisonous plants together is called co-cultivation, but co-cultivation comes with many difficulties.

They may fight each other or something, and even if it is not intentional, they may harm each other due to each other’s habits.

But this merger felt very successful.

‘I hope everything goes well like this.’

It was the moment when I was just passing the well with Cheongyu.

A waterfall of hair suddenly appears before my eyes.

“Eek!”

Suddenly, something black blocked my vision, and I jumped back in surprise, only to see the demon hanging upside down on a spider web and swinging in front of me.

The hair that flutters like a curtain and tickles my face every time the magic wand shakes.

I didn’t realize that I was passing by the large tree next to the well, which was the home of the demon, while thinking of Yeondu’s prospective groom, but it seemed that the demon had found me and came down to say hello in the morning.

“Oh, my goodness. Did you sleep well?”

-Kishi.

When I greeted the fairy, he would normally come up to me and link arms, but he just nodded his head.

The demon, who had descended to the ground via a spider web, glanced at the Qingyi following him.

Then he approached Cheong-yu and started saying something.

-Kissit. Kissishi.

-Shia?

There weren’t many people to talk to yesterday during the greetings, and after that, Cheongyu just slept in a corner of the room because he had traveled a long distance.

It seemed like the poisonous creatures were having a conversation that they couldn’t have yesterday, and the demon who glanced in my direction suddenly lifted one of his legs and showed it to Cheongwol.

-Kissit.

What’s tied there is a red thread.

When I showed her the demon that had tied me to him, Cheong-yu looked at me with wide eyes.

Cheongyu’s head nodded immediately.

-Sia.

Then, the demon gestured towards Cheongwol with a somewhat arrogant and haughty look.

As if telling me to follow him.

‘What, what is it?’

-Kishishi.

-Sia.

Two guys leave me with some incomprehensible crying and move on.

“Huh? Where are you two going?”

‘You wouldn’t be following me to the rooftop or anything, would you?’

It seemed like the two of them had been out somewhere, so I decided to quietly follow them, worried that a fight might break out like the one between Cheongwol and the queen bee of the Golden Phoenix, Langhu.

Cheong-yu seemed to have an amiable personality, but I was worried that Yo-hwa might show off.

The guy’s obsession is a bit unusual, you know.

Let’s follow them from a distance. The place where the demon took Cheong-yu was a backyard with a pond.

As I stuck my head out from outside the wall and looked inside, the golden phoenix kings quickly flew in, buzzing, at the appearance of Yohwa and Cheongyu.

-Boohoo. Boohoo.

-Kissit. Kissi.

But when the demon speaks to the Golden Phoenix Kings, the bees disappear into the palace in an instant.

-Booooow. Booooow.

Soon, Langhu flew out of the hive, circled around Qingyou, wiggled his antennae slightly, and then disappeared into the hive.

I don’t know the details, but it doesn’t feel like a hostile situation like Cheongwol.

‘What is it? Are you really here to say hello?’

I wondered if even a spirit would greet someone who had just moved in like handing out rice cakes, but scenes continued to appear that confirmed my suspicions.

On their way to the pavilion, the two exchanged greetings with the tigers swimming in the pond, and what they finally arrived at was a giant scorpion, Cheongwol.

-Kishishi.

-Char?

-Krrr. Krrr. Krrr.

When the fairy speaks to Cheongwol, who is crouching down, Cheongwol stretches out for the first time in a while and speaks to Cheongyu.

Something came to mind when I saw that sight.

I wondered why the fairy was taking Cheong-yu around to greet people, and then I remembered that Cheong-yu hadn’t been able to greet the friends on this side of the pond yesterday.

‘Oh, by the way, I didn’t get to introduce you to these kids?’

These friends were unable to enter the main building due to their size or living conditions, so we had to greet them separately.

However, whether it was because of the long distance travel or because of molting, Cheongyu fell asleep early yesterday and was unable to greet his friends here at all.

Judging from the current appearance of the two, it was clear that the demon was thankfully taking Cheong-yu with him and introducing him to his other friends.

‘This guy is a demon. Thank you… I worried for nothing. If someone saw me, I would think I am the hostess… Oh, the hostess?’

But when I thought about it, I didn’t feel entirely grateful.

Because I feel like that was something that was called a proper act in a past life.

***

Cho, Hyang, and Bin, whom I raised since they were puppies, Seol and Bing, whom I welcomed in the beginning, and even Hongdan, a baby bug I adopted as a newborn, all call themselves father and mother to Hwaeun and I.

This is because the children are small and have been raised from a young age, so they feel like children to me.

Cho, Hyang, and Bin have grown so much now, but their cute and yellow appearance still lingers in my mind, so I still have a strong feeling that they are cute.

Seol-i and Bing-i are small and cute lizards, so even if they claim to be parents, it doesn’t seem like much of a thought.

Hongdan goes without saying.

However, when Geummobongwang, Hoye, Yohwa, Yeondu, Hwayang, Cheongwol, and Cheongyu were accepted, they were already adults and were also large, so it was difficult for them to call themselves fathers, so they called themselves older brothers or older brothers. In that case, Yeondu’s husband would soon be my brother-in-law.

Research began to find the brother-in-law.

There were many things at stake, beyond simply finding a brother-in-law.

-Flap. Flap.

Hwa-eun’s room.

I quickly turned the pages of the book.

To check the page that has the poison I’m looking for.

What I’m looking at is the world’s most poisonous substance.

It was to check information about Jiyeong Shinsa (地泳神蛇), Yeondoo’s prospective husband.

“It’s Shinsaji. Let’s see…”

The first chapter of the twenty-fourth poison after the teenage poison.

As the page of the book showing the image of a celestial being resembling a serpent was turned, a new snake appeared.

The appearance of the gentleman Jiyoung was like that of a lotus, with horns and, like a lotus, pin-like things growing out of its back and into its tail.

“The Earth Swimming Snake.

Its body is as red as blood, and it rarely attacks someone first, but when it does, it suddenly emerges from the ground and attacks.

You can swim underground like a fish in water.

If you are poisoned, you will bleed to death from the seven holes.

The appearance of the shrine maiden is unusually red, like blood.

But, as expected from a book written in simple terms, there wasn’t any great information.

‘As expected, there’s no particular content?’

The only thing I got was that, just like his name suggests, he’s good at digging the ground like a mole.

After thinking about it for a while, I opened that part yesterday.

I’m talking about the part that the ancestors of the Tang family wrote with the poison of the King of Geumgwansa.

-Flap. Flap.

Let’s turn the pages a bit further and come to the part about the teenage poison king, the Golden Crown Prince.

On the page where there had been nothing, words now appeared clearly.

As for the writing, the glowing part had disappeared, but the gold writing remained.

My grandfather was worried that it would appear for a moment and then disappear, but the light disappeared and the gold letters remained.

‘Let’s see. Is there anything different?’

I read it again with the light off, but it was the same as yesterday.

I was wondering where I could get information about Jiyoung Shinsa.

-Squeak.

The door to Hwa-eun’s room opened and Hwa-eun and her sister Seol came inside.

He said he would bring me some snacks if I told him I was going to read a book, and it looks like he brought them.

“Little Dragon, I brought you some snacks.”

“Little dragon, eat and do it.”

“Thank you, Hwa-eun.”

“The weather outside is nice, so I should open the window.”

Hwa-eun placed the tea and fruit on a tray down on the table and walked toward the window.

As the window opened by Hwa-eun’s hand, light poured in.

A dazzling light streamed in from the window, illuminating the table.

‘Wow, it’s so bright.’

There was a moment when I thought I would have to close the window to look at the book because the light was so dazzling.

The bright light streaming in from the open window was illuminating the Cheonha Dokmul Bi-rok, and I suddenly began to notice something strange about the part where the Golden Crowned King was, which I had spread out.

‘Is it a stain?’

A large stain was revealed as the page became half transparent in the light pouring in from the window.

At first I thought it was a stain.

Since it is an old book, there may be some stains.

But it’s a stain that feels familiar.

As I fixed my gaze on the stained bookshelf and examined it, Hwa-eun asked.

“Why, Little Dragon? What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s because the sunlight is shining here, so there are spots.”

“stain?”

Hwa-eun and Seol, who tilted their heads at the words “my stain” and looked at the place I was pointing at.

“uh?”

A surprised voice came out of Seol’s sister’s mouth as she examined the stain.

“Why, Sister Seol?”

When asked why she was surprised, Seol gave an unexpected answer.

“Isn’t this a map?”

“map?”

“It’s blurry and not very clear, but the map is clear.”

Seol Noo-niu said it was a map, but I couldn’t figure out why this steamed bun-like shape was a map.

Sister Seol explains next.

“This is a map of Yunnan, not somewhere else. How could I not know where I live? There is a similar map in the Beast Palace, and I have seen it hundreds of times, so I cannot not know.”

I don’t know how the roughly drawn image is Yunnan, but if that’s what Seol Nui is like, then it must be so.

Anyway, Sister Seol’s explanation was that the stains of the past were not stains, but the appearance of Yunnan as it appeared on old maps.

“It seems like it was left behind by our ancestors. Why is it so blurry?”

Hwa-eun looks at the page for a while, wondering why it was there.

Hwa-eun soon turned her head and tilted her head to look at the other side.

“If one is a map, this should be a map too, but I don’t know where this is. One is Yunnan, but I don’t get the feeling for the other.

“I’ve never seen a place like this.”

It was the moment when I looked at the opposite page, shining in the sunlight, in Hwa-eun’s story.

‘What if that’s a map too? Huh?’

As I thought that the stain was really the map that Hwa-eun was talking about, suddenly a place in my memory began to come to mind.

That was understandable, because it was a very familiar sight to me.

“Hwaeun, I think I know where I am.”

If this was really a map, then that was definitely the place.

Because there was only one place in the Central Plains that had this shape.

No, to be exact, it’s not the central region at the moment.

‘Ah, this isn’t the Central Plains these days.’

“Could you please prepare some writing brushes and ink sticks?”

I asked Hwa-eun to draw a map of the Central Plains with ink and brush.

And I added an island next to the map, a place I remember.

Then, Hwa-eun opened her eyes wide and looked at the map I had drawn and said.

“Is this Yizhou?”

I think they call it Iju in this day and age, but that’s what we called it in our previous lives.

Taiwan.
