Elixir 6
-Why, why!
“Wait a minute. It was hard being chased around by people and having your honey stolen every time. I’m taking you there without people bothering you. A place where you can raise your children in peace.”
Perhaps because of the scent of mugwort, the queen bee, who had been quiet, remained quiet and did not move during the dark of the night.
But as soon as the sun rose, he started to struggle.
The strength was no joke, so I had no choice but to tie it up like a caterpillar with a rope.
Be careful not to hurt your wings.
“Can you understand what I am saying?”
The voice of the older sister who took a couple of steps back, wondering if she could adapt to Wukong but still unable to get to the punishment stage.
A bee’s tongue is quite long and usually extends as far as the length of its head, and the queen bee would constantly flick her tongue, which was a creepy and disgusting sight.
To this extent, it is very cute.
“Even the low-level Wukongs can understand what I say, so it’s only natural that the mid-level poisonous Golden Beetle would understand. Furthermore, bees live in groups, so they are social. So I think they would understand even better.”
I told my older sister that of course she would understand, but originally, foxes and bees cannot understand sounds made by the vocal organs of humans.
Because I don’t have ears.
However, it is known that raccoons have an organ that senses vibrations, and that bees detect sounds with the hairs on their bodies.
But even the low-level Wukongs can understand human speech, so how could the mid-level queen bee not understand human speech?
Did you know that common bees in their previous lives were intelligent animals that could feel pain, remember patterns and smells, and even recognize human faces?
Bees have a keen sense of smell and are intelligent enough to be used to detect cancer, drugs, and bombs, so it was obvious that they would understand what I was saying.
And even if he didn’t understand, I couldn’t give up because I really wanted to try this kind of punishment at least once.
Just one set for a small dog.
Moreover, it has a plump body that looks like a cross between a honeybee and a bumblebee.
There’s golden fluffy fur.
Because it was so cute.
“Sociality?”
“Yes, I’m talking about living in groups, talking in the scent of Hamsohwa, and things like that.”
“Ah… I see. Oh! Please give me So-ryong, Cho, Hyang, and Bin-i. It’ll be hard to take care of them all at the same time.”
“Shall we? Kids, go to Mom.”
-Tsrrrr.
It was already a bit burdensome, so it was time to hand over the Wukongs to my older sister.
The queen bee, who had been struggling despite being tied up, suddenly stopped when she saw the Wukongs.
It’s like a toy with dead batteries.
“Little Dragon, why has this guy suddenly become so quiet?”
Even the old man in charge of the unit was so curious that he told me that the guy had stopped.
I thought maybe they were hungry, but the bees had eaten a lot of honey and were about to leave the hive.
Judging by the queen bee’s belly, which was quite plump, it was clear that she was full.
“Oh, really? Are you feeling down?”
I looked closely at the guy, wondering why he was doing that, and the queen bee’s compound eyes were reflecting the Wukongs crossing from my body to my sister’s body.
It looks like a high-performance mosaic camera.
‘Huh? Could it be because of Goku?’
Just in case, when Goku approaches the queen bee with one, the one who flinches as expected.
As they came closer, Wukong and Queen Golden Phoenix touched each other’s antennae.
And then they started making strange noises as if they were having a conversation.
-Tsrrrr!
-Why!
After the conversation(?) between the two poisonous creatures continued like that, Wukong took off his antennae and turned his head to look at his older sister.
I guess the conversation is over.
I don’t know what they were talking about, but they decided to give the last remaining Goku to their older sister and rest for a while.
That was because I had been running all night to get away from the group of Geummobongwang.
Of course, I didn’t run it myself.
Since I can’t do light combat, I had to take turns being carried by the main and subordinate commanders.
‘When I go back, I’ll have to ask him to teach me light combat first. Throwing daggers won’t help at all…’
He decided that when he returned, he would definitely ask Grandfather Mandokshingun to teach him lightness, and suggested to Daeju, who was still not relaxed, that they rest.
“Let’s rest for now.”
“Understood, Little Dragon.”
“Just in case, I will tell the warriors to be on guard in the direction we came from.”
“Good idea.”
First, I fed the queen bee some water from the stream nearby, and she fell asleep.
“Little, Little Dragon! Get up!”
The urgent voice of the old man digging into my ear.
Judging from the fact that I still wasn’t completely exhausted, I didn’t seem to have fallen asleep for long, but Mr. Gupae immediately picked me up.
“Wh, what’s going on?”
“Look at the sky over there!”
When I rubbed my eyes and asked what was going on, Mr. Gupae pointed to the sky in the distance.
As I blinked and looked at the direction the man’s fingertips were pointing, I began to see a yellow cloud in the hazy sky getting closer and closer.
“already!?”
A feeling of something flashing in my head.
In an instant, my sleep suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the sun in the sky, it seems like it’s not long after lunch, but the golden hawks are already following us.

We had no choice but to hurriedly pack our bags and run like crazy again.
The only good thing is that they aren’t that fast.
Although honeybees are very fast at first, their average speed during long-distance movement is about 20 kilometers.
Since the ship is full of honey, it will be even slower now.
“Everyone, run with lightness!”
“I’ll deploy light attack until I completely shake them off! Those Tang family warriors won’t fall behind, right!?”
“Yes, Lord!”
The warriors responded resolutely to the cries of their older sister and the great lord, and began to gallop in the direction of Danggasan.
‘But is Daejoo thinking of leaving you behind?’
He watched the bees flying in from afar behind the back of the squadron running through the forest, and whispered quietly while holding the antenna of the queen bee in his arms and touching his forehead.
[It’s okay, I’ll take them all with me.]
It seemed like Daejoo thought I would just take care of the queen bee and completely shun the others, but in the first place, I had no intention of shunning them, nor any reason to do so.
The pheromones released by the queen bee last for about a day, so we probably wouldn’t be able to shake them off even if we tried.
Even from kilometers away, the bees can smell the scent of pheromones, so it was clear that they would follow them somehow.
When bees split their colony in half to create a new queen bee, worker bees are the ones who follow the queen bee all the way.
‘Arrival, is that possible?’
The captain, who was running forward, turned his head and asked, perhaps feeling uneasy.
“Little Dragon, can you get out of here?”
“maybe?”
I felt the backs of the people riding on my answer becoming soaked with cold sweat.
***
If you go straight, you will reach Amisan Mountain where Amipa is located, and if you take the left path, you will reach a fork in the road leading to Yunnan.
Amipa’s great disciple, Yeon-su (蓮水), arrived at the fork in the road between Emei Mountain and Aksan Mountain with the alms he had received from Zigong, and stopped for a moment.
It was because the brothers, who were weak in martial arts, complained that it was difficult to walk from Zigong to now.
“Whew. We’ll soon reach Mt. Amisan. It’s been hard up until now, but the thought of climbing Geumjeongbong (Golden Peak) makes me feel like I’m going to die.”
“Sisters, didn’t I tell you to focus on lightness?”
“But, Your Majesty, I don’t have enough time to run errands for you.”
“That’s right. With laundry and errands. When on earth are you going to teach me martial arts?”
“Is that all? Shouldn’t I also participate in the Buddhist service?”
The grumbling of the young sisters.
Seeing the appearance of the disciples who had already received the precepts a long time ago but were still not cleansed of worldly filth, Yeon-su smiled inwardly as she preached, thinking that she too had been like that until recently.
“Other sects and families work harder than you and devote themselves to martial arts. So shouldn’t we, who are under the great compassionate Buddha, work even harder?”
But the sisters’ sharp protests.
“I heard that other sects and families have servants who do all the work? And how much can you do if you work hard? They are all noble ladies and princes···.”
That was when the grumbling of the brothers continued.
The dust starting to rise from far away in Yunnan.
Soon after, the figures of five or six people began to appear at the fork in the road toward Yunnan.
People running madly down the street at lightning speed.
There was one woman and the rest were all men.
“Why are all these people running like crazy?”
“Are you being chased by something?”
As the priests of the Amipa blink their eyes and make puzzled expressions at the person running towards them, a woman’s face catches their eye.
Yeon-su, who had been tilting her head at the familiar face, shouted with a startled expression.
“Do, Dokhwawolgye? Lady Hwaeun?”
“Yes? If it’s Lady Hwa-eun, then Dang Hwa-eun?”
Disheveled hair, dusty shoulders, dirty clothes, and a hair stuck in his mouth.
Seeing that she looked like she was running away from a disaster, Yeon-su quickly ran towards her and stopped her.
“Miss Hwa-eun!”
“Yeonsu… Monk?”
“What’s going on!? Are you being chased by something? Is something going on?”
However, at Yeon-su’s urgent cry, Dang-hwa-eun answered with her eyes wide open.
“Uh, some water···.”
“Water?”
When Dang Hwa-eun, who was looking for water, took out his own gourd water bottle and gave it to him, Dang Hwa-eun drank it like crazy.
Even the water bottles of the sisters who had just arrived were passed on to other men nearby.
And when all the water bottles were emptied, Sohyeop got down from the back of the man who was clearly the leader of the Tangga poison group and said with a smile.
“Thank you, monk. It’s nothing special. Um… Oh, okay. I’m just practicing lightness.”
“Are you practicing light air?”
“Yes, we tried our best, and when we did it… we ended up looking a little funny, right?”
“But what is that in your hand?”
Sohyeop opened his eyes wide at the sight of a strange creature wrapped in ropes with only its head sticking out, but quickly hid it behind him and laughed.
Sohyeop said with a grin like a rascal.
“It’s nothing, monk. Oh, thank you for the water, and we’re about to leave, so monks, hurry up and go. Let’s all go! Hwaeun, hurry up. If we run a little, the sun will set and we’ll be able to rest.”
After the mischievous Sohyeop and the Tangmun people disappeared again with light energy, the four sisters apologized to Yeonsu with still surprised expressions.
“Oh, so that’s why the Tang family is so harsh with their light-hearted training? They even made Lady Hwaeun, the Martial Arts Master Samhwa, suffer until she ended up in such a miserable state…”
“I thought you were lying to us, Private Yeon-su. I’m sorry, Private.”
It was the first time Yeon-su had seen such harsh training.
When the four brothers needed a lesson, seeing Dang Hwa-eun, who is praised as the Three Flowers of the Martial Arts, appear in such a form must be the grace of the Buddha who is very compassionate.
Yeonsu put her hands together and faced the place where the people of the Tang family and the small group had disappeared.
“Amitabha.”
And the place where even Yeon-su left.
The golden clouds that had approached from Yunnan began to move in pursuit of the Tang family.
***
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. So, So-ryong-sama… I, I think this is it for me… Keuuuu… Keuuuuu.”
The old man Daeju was thrown into the grass.
And soon I started to fall asleep without thinking.
The commander was already stuck somewhere along the road behind us, and our breathtaking chase between King Geummobong and us was now reaching its end.
Because Danggasan was not far away.
“Young lady, I’ll just run···.”
“Ha, you can do it!”
I replied that I would now run on my own feet since I had been stuck in Daeju, but my older sister shook her head with blank eyes.
My story didn’t reach my older sister, who had been half out of her mind for the past two days.
My older sister ran all the way here on her own, and it seemed like she still had some energy left after eating the noodles, so she put me on her waist and used up the last of her strength.
However, when they crossed the river and arrived in front of Gujinmun Gate, my older sister also fell down in front of Gujinmun Gate like the other Tang Dynasty warriors.
-dump.
“miss!”
-Beep! Beep! Beep!
The warriors guarding the Gujin Gate were surprised by the sight of their older sister, and they swung their swords toward the Dangga to send a signal, and soon after, in a swift movement, the craftsman and the Mandokshin Army grandfather appeared in front of the Gujin Gate.
Because the third call was a direct call to the party.
“Hwa-eun! What is going on?”
“Hwa-eun! So-ryong, what is going on!”
My grandfather, who was holding my fallen sister in his arms and was shocked, and me, were being ripped off.
He answered, shaking in his grandfather’s hand.
“Lady Hwa-eun is exhausted from running around in the light air for ten days without sleeping much. However, this is not the time. Let’s go to the training ground!”
“A martial arts field? Why a martial arts field?”
“Why the training ground?”
Instead of answering their questions, he handed them a queen bee tied with a rope.
“This is the queen of the Golden Beehive. Other bees will be coming soon, so go to the training ground!”
“What!? No, I told you to bring me honey, but you brought me a golden phoenix!?”
“Hahahaha! This little dragon is really going to be big! Let’s go!”
When he heard that he had caught the Golden Phoenix King, his father-in-law looked dumbfounded, but his grandfather smiled broadly and seemed delighted.
And then he dragged me right into the practice room where I was practicing my sword.
My destination was an old tree that was hundreds of years old but had dried up and died some time ago.
He arrived at the hole in the old tree and released the queen bee of the Golden Phoenix King, saying:
“This is your home now.”
Then, the queen bee, feeling uncomfortable with her tied up body, turned around a few times and looked around the inside and outside of the old tree. Then, as if she liked it, she tapped my head with her antennae.
Then, the queen bee of the golden phoenix disappears into the old tree.
At the same time, the sound of bees’ wings fluttering can be heard overhead.
As we quickly ran away with my grandfather, the golden storm that had been chasing us from the border of Yunnan began to suck us into the hole in the old tree.
-Boooo. Boooo.
-Shoot!
The capture of the Golden Phoenix was a success.
‘So sweet.’
