Sacheondangga 1
Although the old man Cheolsan and the warriors hurriedly escaped to the cave, not everyone escaped safely.
The Tang family’s warrior, who approached the Jimjo and threw a stone, inevitably fell behind.
When we were led into the cave by the hand of Mr. Cheolsan, he looked at the bear in his hand as if it had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice, then came to his senses and followed us in a hurry.
Although he survived, all his clothes were torn and fell off.
He had to struggle for a long time to drive out the invading poison.
According to Mr. Cheolsan, he learned the poison of the Tang family and survived, so he is lucky to have survived.
He was lucky to survive because the energy of our advance flowed to him.
And even though we had safely taken refuge in the cave, we couldn’t relax.
Even though everyone had fled to the innermost part of the cave, white smoke continued to rise from the arms of the Tang family.
Although it doesn’t spew smoke like crazy like the dry ice we put in water earlier, the fact that the bear cub continues to spew smoke means that it is poisonous.
The story is that when all the worms melt away, we too will become addicted.
“Ji, Jimjorani! Gaju, are you sure it’s Jimjo!?”
The old man, who was the deputy chief, asked in a voice of disbelief.
Then, Mr. Cheolsan recites a line that seems like a passage from a book.
“When it spreads its wings, it is five feet tall. Its beak is copper-colored and sharp, and its body is covered with purple feathers. When it spreads its wings in anger, everything around it turns black and dies, turning into poison. It wears a golden crown on its head, truly the appearance of a king.
This is called a swan or a swan bird.
“That’s all I know.”
Words that match everything I saw.
I asked Mr. Cheolsan with a trembling voice.
“Seo, is that teenage poison?”
Then the old man slowly nodded his head.
Unbelievable words came out of the old man’s mouth.
“That is the top of the ten poisons, and is called the king of all poisons, the magpie.”
“The Emperor of the Ten Poisons!”
‘This is crazy! This is so awesome!’
My impressions of personally welcoming Jimjo are simply these words.
This is awesome.
The poisonous insects and snakes of my previous life were cute, but this is a real moving disaster.
The pores all over my body constricted at the sight of what looked like a biochemical weapon.
And the scene of the corpses, insects, and poisonous snakes melting kept repeating in my head.
A tremendous poison that completely erases a large area, as if it were an eraser.
“There’s a hawk in Haenam Island… It’s known to only eat the heads of poisonous snakes, so it must have been drawn here by poisonous snakes.”
I came to my senses at the words of Mr. Cheolsan and asked again.
“Excuse me, is that common?”
“Surely not, then not all the people of the Central Plains would be alive. Even if a person of the Central Plains lived their entire lives, it would not be easy to see a sign. I have only read about it in books, but this is my first time seeing it. It is said that a sign is so hard to see that it is said to be seen once every hundred or two hundred years.”
Sure enough, if a guy like that were to wander around like the old man said, people would die in droves.
He said, looking at the cave entrance with a blank expression.
“But would it be possible to catch that…?”
It wasn’t something I really wanted an answer for, it was just something that came out like a soliloquy.
I wanted to catch the king of teenage poisons, but I didn’t think I’d be able to get close to him.
Then, Mr. Cheolsan smiles.
“Do you want to catch it? Sohyeop?”
To me, who died while catching a teenage viper, teenage poison is a kind of romance and goal.
In response to the old man’s question, he looked at the cave entrance and answered in a blank voice.
“Yes. But it’s so poisonous…”
I tried to catch it, but it felt like it was going to melt.
Then, I heard Mr. Cheolsan speak in a slightly cheeky voice.
“You said that last time too, you’re really interested in teenage poison. Well then, there must be a way.”
When he heard that there was a way, he opened his eyes wide and asked again.
“Is there a way!?”
“Of course. Our family had the experience of catching that thing three hundred years ago.”
The answer was that I had caught it once.
Three hundred years was a long time ago, but anyway, I came to my senses when I heard the words of Mr. Cheolsan, who said that he had experience catching a squid once.
That means I have experience and records with Jimjo.
“Excuse me?”
So when I asked back with an expression of disbelief, Mr. Cheolsan smiled instead of answering.
And he looked at the cave entrance and spoke as if talking to himself.
“If you master the martial arts of the Tang family, you will become impervious to all poisons and be able to withstand even the poison of the ox. In the world, only the martial arts of our Tang family can stop poison···.
But what should I do···.
“If they are not our family, we cannot teach them martial arts… It is the law of the family… Heh heh. Really. Even if I wanted to help my small group, the law….”
Surely, if the poison of such a bird could be blocked with martial arts, it would be a secret and vision only for the family.
He confirmed in a cautious voice.
“Is it something I can learn even if I become a member of the family?”
The reason I asked the old man again was because it seemed like it would be something great that only the core family members were taught, to block such poison.
Family is family, what if you say you’ll teach them and then they say they won’t teach you because you’re a loser?
So, it was something that had to be checked again.
Mr. Cheolsan smiled again at my question.

“If you decide now, I will teach you without holding back. Of course. And I will take good care of your gifts. But if you keep thinking about it too long….”
‘Did you reincarnate like me? That comment sounds like a mobile game push alarm.’
Mr. Cheolsan, who would have done well in business if he had been born in my previous life after I died.
He knew that I had been struggling with his offer to become a member of the family, so he tried to tempt me by making a comment that seemed to be the last favor he could give me.
Just like mobile game push notifications.
So that you can’t refuse.
As if if you don’t do it now, the benefits are gone.
‘Looking at you lately, you don’t seem like you’d be teasing me about something like this… Right, how long are you going to live alone in the forest? You can still pursue your hobbies later, after all…’
I started to miss people little by little.
I like hobbies, but since this seemed like a good opportunity, I thought I should seize it.
Moreover, my life is driven by romance.
‘Jimjo, just wait.’
He answered the old man’s suggestion in a loud voice.
Since it’s your first time, be bold.
That’s because new employees were originally taught to greet each other like this.
“Okay! I will do it! Family of Dangga! Please take good care of me, Elder. No, Master!”
“Really!? Hahahaha. I see! Then you are now a part of our family ‘forever’!”
The old man’s joyful laughter echoed through the cave, but then turned gloomy again when he realized that he had to survive here.
***
It was only after a day that we were finally able to get out of the cave.
It was because the reaction of the bear, which had been emitting smoke faintly, only then stopped.
If the situation had continued for just one or two more hours, the bear could have run out of food.
“What, what is this?”
“Oh, my God.”
“People’s corpses···.”
And what we encountered outside the cave was a black land.
The twenty or thirty meters around where the pile of corpses had been had simply turned into a black dirt field.
There wasn’t a single bug to be found in a single blade of grass.
The grass that had grown lushly, the trees that had piled up, and the corpses that had piled up.
All that is visible is black dirt and black stones.
As if the scenes from yesterday had disappeared like a dream, only the scene appeared before us.
“But can I step on this dirt?”
“I dropped the remaining turmeric on my way out, and strangely enough, all the poison had disappeared.”
I was worried that I might get poisoned because the land was filled with poison, but the old man checked and all the poison had disappeared.
The answer was that all the poison had disappeared, even if it was volatile.
Now that we’ve confirmed their safety, all we need to do is pray for the victims’ souls to rest in peace.
The Tang family’s warriors searched through the houses on the mountainside, found old bottles of liquor, and used them to briefly pray for the souls of the victims.
“May you be reborn in paradise…”
After praying for the souls of the victims to rest in peace, I asked the head of the household.
“So, are you going to Sacheon now?”
“I guess so.”
“First, I must go to the Taoist temple and release all my friends. I can’t take them to the Tang gate.”
“Okay, then let’s head to the dojo first. You’ll need to pack your bags too.”
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Yesterday, the blood poisoning secret was retrieved and given to the master.
I thought they were going to burn it because they had to retrieve it, but since the Tang family values practicality, they take what they can and throw away what they can’t?
Even the most evil magician has something to teach you, right?
In the end, I feel like I got the dropped items from killing that guy named Tak Woon Yang, but now that I have some family members, it’ll be of some help to me.
Thinking it was a smart idea, I was about to climb onto the lord’s back and head to the abandoned duct.
In the middle of the land covered with black dirt, something shiny caught my eye, so I pointed to it and spoke to the lord.
“There is something over there.”
“Huh? That one?”
In the middle of the black ground that we all approached, there was a strange feather that was purple but turned purple-green when exposed to light.
A feather lay on the ground.
How could I forget this color?
This was definitely Jimjo’s feather.
“What, what is this!?”
“It’s Jimjo’s feather!”
I wanted to touch it too, but I didn’t dare touch it because I was afraid it might be poisonous. Then, the lord took out a glove from his bosom and grabbed the feather of the hawk, and carefully put it inside something that looked weak, and said.
“I’ll check with my family and give it to you. I think you really want it. Let’s say it’s the first gift you get as a member of our family.”
“Thank you, sir. No, my lord!”
The guy who will become my second treasure along with the legs of the Blue Wukong.
When I was thinking that I should make it into a norigae and wear it around my waist, I heard the voice of the head of the household, who seemed displeased.
“Everything is fine, but I don’t like the title. But should we change it after the meal?”
‘ceremony?’
It seemed like there was some sort of initiation ceremony for becoming a member, but I was hoping it would be as simple as possible.
***
The entrance to Sacheondangga, which had been like a portrait house for the past few months, has finally regained its liveliness.
Dang Hwa-eun, the only daughter of the Sacheon Dang family.
This was because Mandokshin-gun Dangmu-seong, who had gone to get medicine to save her, arrived at the entrance of Sacheon-dangga.
But that appearance was by no means good.
The haggard face of the Tang Dynasty’s greatest master.
It was clear that he had been hurrying along, using his lightness to the limit of his endurance.
“Oh, sir!”
“What about Hwa, Hwa-eun!?”
Mandokshin-gun’s first words were about his concern for his granddaughter.
Although he would not have done so normally, a low-ranking warrior of the Tang clan asked with a voice trembling with worry about the young lady.
“Oh, you’re still alive! Where’s the medicine? Did you, did you get it?”
The warriors who were standing together only looked at the mouth of the Mandokshin-gun in response to the questions of the lower-ranking warriors.
The Mandokshin Army’s mouth opened in a smile and he spat out the answer they had been waiting for.
“I have found the inner secret of the Qing Ban Wukong.”
“““Wow!”””
The Tang family’s warriors cheered at Mandokshingun’s answer.
The shouts soon spread throughout the Sacheondangga.
And the deepest part of the party was hit by that cry.
In the main hall where the Gaju family’s residence was gathered, a middle-aged woman ran out with an anxious look on her face, performing light martial arts.
“What’s the fuss!? Oh, Father!?”
A woman who ran out to the warriors’ shouts and shouted at them, then shouted with a surprised face when she saw the Mandokshin Army.
“Let’s go! Daughter-in-law. I have brought you the inner dan of my Qingbanwu Gong.”
“Seo, you succeeded! Sob!”
The tears of the cold Soviet Union, the hostess of the Tang Dynasty, who even sheds tears.
The two headed straight to the pavilion where Hwa-eun was sleeping.
What Mandokshin-gun encountered in the palace where he had rushed into the cold Soviet Union was his own granddaughter, Dang Hwa-eun, whose whole body was already dyed blue.
I saw the adults of the surrounding families sweating profusely as they breathed in their inner strength, and they were delighted to see the Mandokshin Army.
“Elder!”
“You’re back!”
Rather than responding to their greetings, Mandokshin-gun first looked at his granddaughter.
This was because his granddaughter, Dang Hwa-eun, was in a condition that could not be considered good even on the outside.
The fact that he was out of breath meant that the poisoning had progressed much further than Mandokshingun had expected.
“That was a close call. It was a good thing I hurried.”
“Oh, come on.”
Mandokshin-gun quickly took out a silk pouch from his bosom and took out a green bead the size of a walnut from within the pouch.
And then he put it into his motionless granddaughter’s mouth and began to explain the story.
It was hard to come here without stopping, but it was because I wanted to save my granddaughter from her suffering as soon as possible.
And after one meal.
-phew···.
A sigh escapes the granddaughter’s mouth.
Soon after, the granddaughter’s dyed skin began to return to its original white jade color.
It was a truly miraculous recovery, due to internal strife that would not have been possible if I had not met the mysterious thief.
