Fabre in Sacheondangga Episode 176
Triple 1
If a typical drinking party has a lively and boisterous atmosphere, the drinking party held at this pond had an unusually calm atmosphere.
The reason why this suddenly became a quiet drinking party even though it wasn’t a funeral.
It was absolutely not because it was a formal drinking party with high-ranking officials.
The cause was simply a bottle of alcohol thrown into the drinking party.
“Okay, then, I’ll drink first. I’ll leave the guardians to you.”
“Then, don’t worry and eat. We will take care of the law.”
“When someone is having a fortune telling ceremony, you should naturally stand in front of them.”
I thought that even if there was just a single drop of elixir in it, it would be refreshing to drink since it was originally alcohol, but would the martial arts people waste even a single drop of elixir?
Even though the amount dissolved in a glass of alcohol was not much, I was using it all to increase my internal energy.
So, a strange scene was created where they couldn’t even clink their glasses together, and when one drank, the remaining three would stand guard.
“Khuh. Good. Several months’ worth of internal energy in one bowl. So hot, so hot.”
When the general of the Iron Age, who had finished his breakfast, opened his eyes and spoke in a joyful voice, the other three smiled delightedly.
“Oh, how many months is it?”
“Yes, it is definitely an intermediate elixir. True. Very true.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”
“This family has a really good son-in-law. To have a son-in-law like Geumbobongwang? I’ve never heard of him doing that before.”
“Ahaha. My son-in-law is quite outstanding.”
The craftsman also smiles when he sees the guests happy.
My shoulders also rose proudly at the praise of this son-in-law.
So, starting with the general of the Iron Age, and then one by one, and finally the master craftsman, the guests finished their breakfast. Only then did the quiet atmosphere become cheerful and the guests’ voices of joy could be heard.
“By the way, we ate something precious, so we can’t not pay for it. Isn’t that right, General Maeng?”
“The Four Heavenly Lords are right. Since ancient times, elixirs have to be purchased at a price. If you take them for free, you’ll end up in trouble.”
“That’s right. It’s an unwritten rule in the martial arts world that elixirs always require payment.”
Listening to the stories of the guests, it seems that there was an unwritten rule in the past life that you had to give at least a thousand won when adopting a living creature.
It seems that in the martial arts world, there is an unwritten rule that elixirs must be purchased at a price.
‘Isn’t it a good culture?’
It’s natural for people to go bald when they like free stuff.
As I nodded inwardly at the third person’s words, the story continued.
“Then, since the three of us drank the good stuff, let’s each give a gift to the son-in-law of this house who treated us to such a good meal. I owe him a lot in return, like the medicine he made for me last time.”
It was something like asking me to pay for the medicine, but the conversation didn’t continue and I ended up in Samcheongpo.
The other two asked with slightly worried expressions when they heard that Sacheonseongju was taking medicine.
“Medicine? Where does it hurt?”
“Medicine? Where does it hurt?”
The craftsman made an awkward expression, not knowing the circumstances of the Sachon Seongju.
I made and sent you some gallstone pills because you were whining, but isn’t it the Lord of Sacheon who disobeyed my instructions and went to pay his respects to King Yeomra not long ago?
“Ahem···.”
The Lord of Sacheon Castle glanced around at the question from the Cheongseong Jangmun and the Iron Age Captain.
The Lord of Sacheon lifted his head in front of the table and spoke in a secretive voice.
“A potion that boosts a man’s spirit? I’ve tried many medicines, but none like this one. Of course, it has some poison, so you have to be careful when taking it, but the effect was truly amazing. It was enough to make me take a new concubine.”
“!”
“!”
As the explanation of the Four Heavenly Kings ended, exclamation marks appeared on both their faces.
Then, the three of them turned their gazes towards me, so I smiled and answered.
Those eyes full of desire.
That was because I could tell right away without even looking.
“I’ll tell the pharmacy to prepare it so that they can give it to you when you leave. Of course, you have to be careful about taking it.”
“What!?”
“No, is that really true!?”
Then, the drinking party became very excited, and the conversation that had been interrupted for a moment began to flow normally.
“No, this guy, you should have just given him the elixir. You’re even going to pack it up for him when you go home? Hehe.”
“This son-in-law is really a son-in-law! What on earth does our son-in-law do?”
“Not only did I receive the elixir, but they also said they would bring the elixir with me when I leave, so I’ll have to pay a lot of money. Haha!”
Three adults who praise the aphrodisiac as an elixir.
Let’s say I gave the best gift to middle-aged men, and the drinking party almost became an atmosphere where I continued to praise them.
In the end, the conclusion of the story is that he wants to give me one gift each.
“Then let’s do this. Let’s ask this friend if he needs anything or has any wishes, and we’ll grant any wishes he says that we can.”
“Good idea, Lord Sacheonseong.”
“That’s a very good idea.”
“Okay, is there anything you need? Or anything you want? Just tell us what you want and we’ll listen and give you what we can.”
They said that if I just told them what I needed, they would find something they could provide.
“I was just treating the guests in my house as they should be treated, so how could I···.”
When I refused once, showing the virtue of humility, the three of them spoke with serious expressions as expected.
“Hey, don’t say things like that. Good medicine doesn’t work unless you pay for it.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Come on, don’t be burdened and just talk.”
Somehow, I felt like I was being exorcised for the sake of the medicine rather than repaying the favor, but now that I was used to this kind of atmosphere, I decided to give the same answer I always did.

It’s rare for me to get paid for answering questions, but I’m hoping that this time I’ll get paid.
My answers were always about poison or spirits, but since information about spirits is rare, there was no point in always giving the same answer.
‘Hey, Bin-ah, Dad is at the pond. Can you come over here?’
When explaining, showing is always the best.
I asked the two of them to come over, and after a while the sky started to darken.
Jang Moon-in of Cheongseong, who had been looking up at the sky as it suddenly got dark and he thought it might rain, put his hand on his sword with a startled face.
“Ugh!”
As I looked up at the sky for his reaction, it was Cho who arrived first, as expected.
As the thatched roof slowly descended from the sky, the other two people were at a loss as to how the long-suffering man of Cheongseong would react.
Only then did the two of them stand up in surprise and retreat to one side of the pavilion.
“What, what, what!”
“Oh, Goku!?”
-Tsurut?
And then something black appeared at the entrance to the pond.
A black-bodied beetle crawled quickly toward me, its chitinous shell reflecting light.
-Tsrrrrrr.
“Two, two!?”
“Hey, spirit!?”
My two daughters quickly came over and sat down on either side of me, hugging us both with love and affection, then rubbing their cheeks alternately on Cho and Bin’s faces and saying:
“I like to raise poisonous or spiritual creatures here, so if there are any strange rumors or stories you’ve heard from people around you, even if they’re trivial, could you please tell me?”
‘If you really appreciate it, give it to me. Information about poison and spirits.’
Then the three of them looked at each other and blinked.
***
When the three men, surprised by the sight of Cho and Bin, calmed down, the first one to speak was General Maeng, the leader of the Iron Troops.
After looking at Cho and Bin, he thought about something for a while and then clapped his hands and started talking.
“Oh! That’s right! Do you happen to know Ye?”
“Huh? Are you sure?”
‘What is an example?’
General Maeng asked again as I tilted my head slightly.
“Oh, people usually call it ‘waewaeo (娃娃魚)’.”
“Ah! Why, why! I know. Of course I know!”
The moment the name WhyWhy popped out, my body soared.
It was a bit frivolous behavior in front of the guests, but that was because it was something he couldn’t stand.
Waewaeo is the name given to a giant salamander that lives in the Central Plains. It was the name of the world’s longest-living giant salamander, boasting a maximum size of 1.8 meters.
Giant salamanders live in both Japan and China, but the largest ones are found in Central China.
A large, wrinkled, rag-like body with a flat head.
Why is it that when you get scared you ooze a sticky liquid?
The reason why their name is unique even though it is in Chinese characters is because these guys make a sound like a baby crying during the breeding season, so their name became a Japanese word symbolizing the sound of a baby crying.
In Korea, it is commonly called the Chinese giant salamander, but its official name is the Chinese Giant Salamander.
This is the Chinese giant salamander (A. davidianus) of the genus Andrias, family Cryptobranchidae, order Urodela, class Amphibia.
I also wanted to grow it in my past life, but in China, it is an item that they cook and eat, but never export.
Is it because it’s called the Paljin of some kind of Jeonseok that it’s quite an expensive dish?
I’ve heard several stories of guys who entered Korea through dark channels being caught by customs, and I was also able to welcome them only by visiting China in person.
I was so surprised when I went to China and asked my guide if I wanted to see Wae Wae and he took me to a restaurant.
‘Yeah, there was a salamander here! How did I forget about it?’
Since I came to the Central Plains, I should have raised a waewae, but I forgot about it.
I felt like I had neglected the base creatures too much because of the other spirit creatures.
The salamanders look so cute, like trash cans. Just thinking about them makes me happy.
That’s why I smiled when I imagined what those guys would look like.
‘I’ll go catch him right after the drinking party is over!’
I thought that since he must be living here in Sacheon, I should go and catch him right away.
Then, General Maeng nodded at my expression and continued speaking with a smile.
“I guess it’s not an empty promise to like poisonous or spiritual things. Anyway, I like that example so much that I often cook it.”
‘Gyaaaah! Hey, savage! Kill me!’
I almost looked at him with contempt when he said I cooked for him often, but I quickly calmed down and put on a welcoming smile.
Didn’t the Chinese originally eat everything except the table and chairs?
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes, so sometimes I send my servants to buy some, or I take my servants and buy them myself, but I remember what the merchant who sells them said.”
“which?”
“It is rare to see one once in a lifetime, but they say there is a poisonous tiger hawk among the beasts.”
“Are you talking about Ho-ye?”
“Okay, okay.”
‘If it’s not Oye, what does Hoye mean? Hoye means tiger salamander…’
As I pictured the guy in my head, General Maeng explained.
“It has a tiger-like pattern and is said to take the life of anyone who approaches or touches it. However, the strange thing is that no scars or signs of poisoning remain on the body of the dead animal.”
“Oh! Tiger pattern!”
I tried to recall whether there had been such a long-lived salamander in my past life, and there were some with orange or yellow bodies like the golden salamander, but I definitely don’t remember that one.
Moreover, it is said that it has poison that can kill people, so this was definitely a spirit.
I didn’t expect this at all, but this kind of information.
I asked quickly in desperation.
“Yes, when and where were you caught or found?”
“I heard that it was discovered here in Sacheon about ten years ago. Two fishermen who tried to catch it lost their lives on the spot.”
Ten years is a long time, but if he hadn’t been caught, he might still be alive.
Because the long-lived salamander is truly a long-lived salamander.
The typical lifespan of a common salamander is 50 years.
‘Just wait. Is it a hooray or a hooray? You are already a prisoner of this spicy Fabre!’
