Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 167
wildfire 4
‘No, it doesn’t match at all?’
At the name that was full of charm that didn’t match the guy’s pitiful appearance, he turned his fiery head to look at Hwayang.
The insignificant, blank-looking face of the guy who came into view.
As our eyes met, the flames rising from his back grew and shrank repeatedly.
For a moment, I thought that a cute name like Orange Horse Bell Insect would suit the guy’s blank face better than the cool name Cheonghwaamjangseomseo (淸火岩漿蟾蜍).
The reason I came up with that name was because of the guy’s appearance, which looked like a potato, because in my previous life, potatoes were called “malingseo (馬鈴薯)” in Chinese.
This is a unique name, so much so that it was even used as material for a fantasy novel, but the reason why the potato has the unique name of Maryeongseo is simply because the potato resembles an oval bell worn on a horse.
So, the orange horse bell toad is a very cute name, Deungsaekmalingseomseo (橙色馬鈴蟾蜍).
It definitely didn’t mean any other(?) drops.
‘This is a very cute and realistic name.’
He nodded to himself and asked Hwa-eun.
Why does our insignificant Hwayang have such a great name?
“Are you at Cheonghwaamjang Island?”
The word Seomse means toad, so perhaps in the Central Plains, the Hwayangi is classified as a toad, but even Fabre is not sure about its classification.
Classification is an issue that we will think about more later, so let’s put it aside.
Then, Hwa-eun did not answer my question, but came to me and asked me a question in an urgent voice.
“So, how much of Soryong’s internal energy do you have left?”
Although I was more curious about the origin of the name, I answered Hwa-eun’s question first.
It was because it seemed like an important question that needed to be asked urgently.
I had to be careful because I did something wrong again.
That way, I would definitely get hit on the back less often later.
“Uh… About half now? Why the internal energy?”
Then, Hwa-eun wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, came close to me, took a deep breath once or twice, and then explained.
“Listen carefully, Little Dragon. Don’t be alarmed and try to calm your mind as much as possible. You have to calm your mind.”
“Yes? Yes.”
Knowing that when your mind becomes anxious, your internal energy is consumed more quickly, you nod your head and the explanation continues.
An unbelievable truth came out of Hwa-eun’s mouth.
“Hwayang is the king of Cheonghwaamjang Seomseo. He is the poisonous one and holds the position of one of the ten poisonous ones.”
“Huh!? Hwa, Hwayang is a teenage poison!? My, my king!? Seriously!?”
No, that insignificant figure was the king of toads and a teenage poison.
When I asked back with an expression of disbelief, Hwa-eun nodded.
“Yes, I’m sure. I’m seeing it for the first time, but ‘On the back, a rocky stream flows and blue flames soar.’ That’s what it says in the Cheonha Dokmul Bi-rok, which I checked again after So-ryong told me to look at it last time. So I’m sure.”
“If you’ve never seen it… you might mistake it for something else….”
No matter how similar it is to what is written in the book, it is hard to believe that orange potatoes are the poison of teenagers and the king of toads.
As I raised the question of whether there might be other similar poisons, Hwa-eun pointed to the flames above my head.
“It was written that when a person or animal is addicted to Cheonghwa, a Cheonghwa flower will bloom above their head, and Cheonghwa will burn all the energy of the addicted person or animal. And when all the energy is burned….”
“If it burns?”
As I was repeating the last words of Hwa-eun’s explanation, which suddenly trailed off, Hwa-eun gently clenched her hands as if she was holding an egg, then opened them wide and let out a single sound.
“pop.”
“Eek!”
-Wha-geul-reuk!
At Hwa-eun’s words, a large flame rose above her head.
No matter how hard I tried to calm down, this was a situation that could not be calmed down.
The baldness I was worried about was at least having hair left, but this meant that not only the hair but everything would disappear.
The story was that the flames above the head would continue to burn fueled by the energy inside the body, and then explode with a bang when all the energy was gone.
It was said that criminals and beasts also have this energy, but since the amount is less than that of martial artists, it would explode in an instant, and for martial artists, it would only give them a limited lifespan.
If it’s this toxic, it’s definitely teenage poison.
As the flames rose, my internal energy was quickly being depleted, so I asked in an urgent voice.
“Oh, what should I do!?”
“Hwa-eun, what should we do with our dragon then!?”
In response to Seol and Na-na’s urgent question, Hwa-eun rolled up her sleeves and said.
“There’s no way. I’m a little worried since my grandfather and father aren’t here, but since Seol and I are here, if anything happens, I’ll do my best to deal with it. I’ll accept Hwayang’s poison.”
A dog’s head is clear as day.
“Ah! There was that method!?”
“Ah! That, that’s right!”
Seol and I were both so flustered that we couldn’t even think of that, but then we realized it.
If you accept Hwayangyi’s poison as one of the five poisons with the original form of the Odokguiwonsingong (Five Poisons Returning to the Origin of the Spirit), the addiction will be relieved.
Because the poison provides absolute resistance to the poison accepted in order to raise the level of poison.
I had been excluding that thought because Hwayang looked so insignificant, but if he was a teenage poisoner, then that alone would solve all the problems.
‘No, then why did I have such a hard time last time?’
And the moment I realized that fact.
I was struck dumb as I recalled the hardships I had endured when trees were washed ashore in the floodwaters upstream.
At that time, I should have just listened to Hwa-eun.
If I had accepted Hwayang’s poison back then, there would have been no reason to suffer like this.
I thought I had been beaten so many times, but it seemed like it was a sign from heaven trying to stop me from choosing the hard way instead of the easy way.
‘Listen to me, you’re having a hard time, right?’

The sky kept giving me signs, but I felt relieved as I chose the most dangerous route alone.
‘There was a reason why the wise men in my past life told me to listen to my Navi, my mother, and my wife… Hehe…’
I spoke to Hwa-eun, feeling tears flowing like a waterfall in my heart.
“Oh, I understand. Hwa-eun.”
“Choya, be on guard and don’t let anyone come near you. Sister, keep an eye on me and Soryong, and if anything happens, please help us deal with it together.”
“Okay, Hwa-eun!”
-Tsurut!
As the grass rose into the air and began to circle around at Hwa-eun’s request, Hwayang picked her up and held her in his arms.
Although it has become an adult, it is still a small frog, meaning that its appearance has only changed from a tadpole to a frog.
He sat cross-legged, placed a Hwayang-i, slightly larger than a human head, on his lap, and contemplated the Beast Heart’s Gugyeol in his mind.
Then, the flames rising from Hwayang’s back merged with the flames burning from my head, and a large blue flame rose up around Hwayang and me.
-Wha-geul-reuk!
My eyes closed and I slowly lost consciousness.
***
I closed my eyes while reciting the Beast’s Heart’s Mantra, and when I opened them, a large pond appeared before my eyes.
The only thing different from a normal pond was that it was filled with boiling lava.
-Bubbling.
It was a strange sight, but since I had already experienced it twice through Cho and Bin, I wasn’t flustered this time.
Perhaps it was because this place was clearly symbolic or something.
‘I guess I should find Hwayang here now?’
And when I think back to the time of Cho and Bin, I think that the next step is to find Hwayang, so I decided to find Hwayang.
When Cho came to, he was holding me, but Bin was separated from me, so I had to go find Bin.
I was holding Hwayang, but I don’t know why he wasn’t around.
‘Hwayang is a toad, so he must be in the pond, right?’
First of all, Hwayang is a toad.
Since there was a high probability that it would be in a pond, I decided to check the pond first.
As we walked around the pond to find Hwayangi, we saw a small island in the middle of the pond beyond the rising lava flames.
As I focused my eyes through the flames and looked toward the island, I saw the figure of a person lying in the center of the island, swaying between the flames.
‘Is that Hwayang?’
When we look at the case of Chona and Bin-i, if there is a person in this image, it is probably Hwayang herself.
He shouted towards the island, looking for the closest place to the island.
“Hwayang-ah! Hwayang-ah!”
But Hwayang is lying on the island and not moving at all.
It seemed like I had to go there myself.
“By the way, how do I get across this?”
It seemed like I had to cross here, but what unfolded before my eyes was a pond of boiling lava.
As I was wondering how I could possibly get across this, I noticed rocks jutting out like stepping stones in the middle of the pond.
I guess that’s the only way.
I thought that I would have to use my lightness as much as possible to step on them and approach Hwayang.
‘Whew. Well, it’s just an illusion, so let’s do it.’
After a while, I calculated the route of the stepping stones, picked the optimal course, memorized it in my head, and ran from a distance to jump into the pond.
-fault!
The heat from the boiling lava as you fly over the lava towards the rising rocks.
The rocks were jutting out from the lava, but not so much that I couldn’t cross them with my bare hands, so I was able to easily reach the island in the middle of the pond.
And when they arrived at the island in the middle of the pond, the first thing they saw was a woman with short orange hair lying on her side, asleep.
‘Hwayang, this is a female!? Nice!’
The moment I saw Hwayangi, the word that burst out of my mind was “Nice.”
If a woman appears here, it is because the story is that Hwayang is a female.
When we look at the case of Chona and Bin-i, if a woman appears in this image, it is because it means that the poison is female, so it is natural to be amazed.
Of course, this is not because Hwayang is a woman, but because female amphibians are bigger and more attractive than males.
Female amphibians that lay large numbers of eggs are usually much larger than males, so it is better to raise females than males because they can be raised large and beautifully.
He was a really likable guy, except for the fact that he was a teenage poisonous female and his looks were not very good.
“Hwayang?”
A guy who is lying on his side sleeping happily, and when you call his name, he only flinches.
“Hwayang, wake up. It’s me.”
As I continued to call out to the guy and squatted down next to him, he sat up and looked at me with drowsy eyes.
A blank expression similar to when the guy was the main character.
Looking into his eyes, I knew it was Hwayang.
‘First of all, I found Hwayang, the next step is···.’
I woke up Hwayang, but I couldn’t think of what to do next. I thought about Cho and Bin’s time, and the first thing that came to mind was hugging.
When I looked at the guy, something seemed off.
It was a bit ambiguous to suddenly ask her to hug me.
Since I raised Cho and Bin from the time they were eggs, I thought of them as daughters, so it didn’t seem awkward for them to look like women. However, since Hwayang looked like an adult woman, it was awkward.
Since the guy is always in the water tank, there isn’t much intimacy built up.
‘What should I do?’
I was wondering how I could hug her without making her feel awkward, but I decided to start by saying a formal hello.
Since the mind is connected to the martial arts, I guess I can just say something simple?
“Hwayang, uh, now that we’re connected in spirit through martial arts, then we······.”
But as soon as I started talking, the guy started nodding off.
‘No, that guy?’
To wake him up, I decided to bring up his favorite saying.
“rice!”
The moment the word ‘food’ was thrown out like that.
Suddenly, Hwayang’s body shot up and he ran towards me, who was looking down at him.
“Ugh!”
And then the guy climbed on top of me as I fell.
The view slowly darkens.
It seemed that this level of physical contact was sufficient even if it wasn’t a hug, but in the darkening vision, I could really feel that Hwayang was a consistent guy.
