Twenty-Four Poisons 3
“Snails and scorpions forming a ring formation!”
-Tsrrrr!
At my shout, the candles, incense, and bees started to crawl on the floor, emitting warning sounds, and clung to the bamboo in front of me as if hugging it.
And then he started biting the bamboo with a proud look.
-Crack.
-Sudden.
Then a cheer is heard.
“Oh my, so cute!”
“Oh my, you’re so cute.”
Hwa-eun and Seol looked at the sight of the Wukongs and didn’t know what to do because they were so cute.
The Wukong Yeonhwanjin was developed by applying the Beast Heart Gong learned from his adoptive father and the Beast Yeonhwanjin learned from his older sister, Seolpyo.
Originally, it was a technique to use a wild beast connected to oneself to attack the opponent in succession, but when our Oh-gongs used it, it was somehow cute.
The moment it jumped out of my body and bit someone, it was fast, but maybe because it was crawling on the floor, or maybe because of the skill of the O-Gong-Yeon-Hwan-Jin, there was a problem with conveying the command, but the way it slowly crawled and bit someone was really cute.
However, although Hwa-eun and Seol looked so cute, their father felt a little disappointed.
Because I was looking forward to seeing the cool appearance of the Wukongs.
I was thinking of a cool combo attack like my older sister’s Reckless Fury, but why is this so cute…
That’s why I said this without thinking.
“This isn’t it···.”
-Tsurut?
-Churut?
-Huh?
Because I could feel the Wukongs’ thoughts of “Did we do something wrong?”, I quickly waved my hand and answered.
“Oh, no. You did well. Oh my, my kids did well.”
I thought it would feel like something cool, moving around and chewing up its target, but it feels like our Wukongs still need some growing up to do.
Although I felt a little regretful, I called them into my arms.
If you think about it, those guys aren’t even a year old yet.
‘You’ll grow up someday. I, Daddy, believe that you’ll become giant Wukongs like Mom.’
“Okay, let’s go back now. Good job.”
-Cold!
-Tsrrrr!
Then, the kids crawled over, expressing their satisfaction at having done a good job at fulfilling their father’s request.
I gently patted the heads of the guys who were crawling up.
What I’m doing now is nothing special.
It’s been two weeks since I learned the Beast Heart Technique from my adoptive father and registered the Wukongs.
Since the core secret of the O-Dok-Gwi-Won-Sing-Gong was derived from the Beast Heart Gong, it didn’t take much time for the O-Dok-Gwi-Won-Sing-Gong to be separated from the poisonous part and for the original form of the Beast Heart Gong to be accepted and established.
Moreover, since I was able to continue the skills I had learned, my proficiency level went up right away.
So, on the first day, Goku, who had registered, tried to use the Beast Combination that Sister Seol had taught him to check the connection with the three.
Of course, when the Wukongs registered, they did not lie down and receive saliva as instructed by their adoptive father.
Even I couldn’t do that in my right mind.
Somehow I feel like I’m less than human.
So I made the kids suck their little fingers and that was it.
‘No matter how much I think about it, that really wasn’t it.’
I recalled the memory of that day, shivered, and asked my sister Seol.
“Sister Seol, have you not heard from me yet?”
“Yeah, the place the warriors went to check is three days away from here, so they’ll probably contact me soon. Just wait a little longer. By the way, how come you keep asking every single day?”
“Ha, haha. I was curious···.”
Sister Seol opens her eyes brightly every day, asking questions.
What I asked was about the news of the nobleman, and Sister Seol spoke with a sad expression.
“By the way, I feel a little sorry for Soryong.”
“Huh? Sad?”
“No, I understand that Soryong likes poison, but I feel like if it weren’t for that lowly gentleman, my little brother would never have done it.”
“Sir, no way! How could that be?”
“Hmm… I don’t think so.”
I feel like I’ve been through a few days and I’m done with the estimation of myself.
He quickly shook his head and answered.
“No. What I was worried about back then was, could I, with my shortcomings, really be Seol’s younger sibling? That was the kind of worry I was having.”
“really?”
“sure!”
‘Wow, I didn’t know that having a loving older sister could be this scary. I think it would be better if my older sister just acted like this in my past life, like this kid, and said, ‘Hey, you, I don’t think it would be a burden.’
I don’t know because I don’t have an older sister, but I feel a huge gap between the current Seol Noona and the desirable older sisters I saw in my past life.
I thought all of Jungwon’s older sisters were like this, but after hearing Hwa-eun’s story, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
“By the way. Oh, Hwa-eun, should we take the Seok-cheoks to the flower garden over there today? There are lots of mushrooms there. They’re delicious if you pick them and stir-fry them.”
“Is that so? Then?”
Once Hwa-eun and Seol-nui’s attention was diverted elsewhere, he quickly left the training ground and headed towards the Dangga warriors.
I feel like I’ll be dragged to the flower garden anyway, so I’m getting out early.
Because if you just leave it alone, it will drag you around all day long.
But it wasn’t like he was going to say anything out loud.

While I was adapting to the original form of the Beast Heart Gong mixed with the Odok Gwiwon Shingong for the past two weeks, the warriors of Sacheon Dangga were using this Beast Palace as their base and capturing poisonous creatures from the surrounding areas, so I went to check it out.
I was checking it every day, so what excuse do you have?
“Well, we were told to keep it clean, so let’s clean it up by today.”
“Okay, Lord!”
“By the way, where did you put the scorpions that you caught yesterday at the poison trap?”
“This way, sir.”
As we head to the place where the guests are tied up inside the Beast Valley, we hear the voices of the old guard and the warriors coming from the yard.
As I entered, the head of the Gupae family greeted me with a welcoming voice.
“Are you here, Little Dragon?”
“Thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty the Great.”
And I reported yesterday on what happened to some of the points raised.
“No, Mr. So-ryong. As you said yesterday, we decided to clean up, and we caught mice and grasshoppers outside to feed them.”
“Are you eating well?”
“There are still some who do not eat, but the landlords eat well.”
“It’s not a big deal since they don’t usually eat for a few days.”
I was checking the bamboo cage after receiving several reports like that.
“Has the little dragon come?”
When I turned my head at the sound of the voice, I saw the old man Mandokshin coming into the yard.
Following behind were the Poisonous Blood Lord and several members of the Poisonous Blood Corps.
He said he had gone out to collect nearby items five days ago, and it seemed like he had just finished collecting and was returning.
“Have you returned, Grandpa? Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes, has there been any progress in the Odokguiwonsingong?”
“Yes, I am working hard.”
“Yes, that’s right. Oh, and take a look at this. Bring me the poisonous liquor.”
The old man tells the poison lord to bring him something interesting that he caught.
As I was rubbing my hands and waiting with anticipation to see what kind of guy would show up, the poisonous spirit master brought out a small bamboo tray and opened its lid.
Then, what was revealed was a landowner.
But it wasn’t just any landlord.
It looks as if the stomach has been cut open with a knife, and the coin-like pattern revealed on the cut surface.
“This is it! The gold money printing board spider!”
“The owner of the gold printing press?”
The old man looked at me with a curious expression when I heard the words “Geumjeon Hwalpanmunju.”
He said, pointing at the spider with a surprised expression.
“Yes, this is called Geumjeon Hwalpanmunju.”
The gold coin printing plate spider is a type of ancient spider, and is called the Chinese Hourglass Spider in the West.
The scientific name is Cyclocosmia ricketti.
They are characterized by their unusually shaped bellies, which have a cross-section that looks as if their bellies have been cut off.
It looks exactly like a coin, so in China it is called the gold coin plate spider.
In the West, it is called an hourglass spider because its belly resembles an hourglass.
It was an extremely rare species.
Because in my previous life, this was a type of paper that couldn’t be found in Korea.
There is also a rumor that they block the entrance to their home with their buttocks, but that is not true. These types of spiders are called trap spiders and are a type of ground spider that build their homes underground. It is presumed that the cross-section of their buttocks is flat because they live in vertical holes.
“It looks so unique that I thought Soryong would like it. Is that right?”
“lol···.”
When I scratched my head awkwardly at my grandfather’s words, my grandfather asked me.
I feel like my grandfather was curious about this too.
“So, you said you found the location of the Heavenly Shrine in the Beast Palace?”
“No. I heard that the warriors who went to check the place where it was discovered have not returned yet.”
“Really? But since they know the jungles of Yunnan better than anyone else, they’ll find them quickly. I brought the people from the Beast Palace with me this time, and they were a great help.”
“Is that so?”
Well, Yunnan is like my front yard, so it’s strange not to know about it.
As I nodded, my grandfather continued to speak.
“I only saw Twenty-Four Poisons once when I was young. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, so I’m looking forward to it too.”
The word ‘twenty-four poisons’ is heard again.
Since I didn’t hear a detailed explanation last time, I quickly asked again.
“Grandpa, what is the twenty-four-dogji?”
It is said that the twenty-four poisons are selected from the top poisons below the ten poisons, and since it feels like a sub-quest has been created in addition to the main quest, I couldn’t help but check it out.
‘There seem to be twenty-four poisonous creatures, so it’ll be fun to collect them.’
To be honest, since the demon was raised by humans, it has little hostility towards humans and was just caught by chance, but it was clear that the other teenage poisonous creatures would be the ultimate killers.
Even just the fairy tale itself has a fog that causes people to hallucinate, powerful physical abilities, and even the ability to transform their bodies.
If we had tried to catch it normally, it would not have been easy at all.
So it was clear that other teenage poisons would not be easy to find and capture.
After all, it’s the main quest.
For that reason, rather than waiting for news to come out and challenging the Teenage Poisons like waiting for a persimmon to fall from a tree, why not try targeting the Twenty-Four Poisons, which are one level lower than the Twenty-Four Poisons, as a sub-quest in between the main quests of the Teenage Poisons?
I asked with this in mind.
Then I heard my grandfather’s answer.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to explain about the twenty-four poisons. Listen carefully.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
“First, I need to explain the term ‘twenty-four poisons.’ Twenty-four poisons refers to the division of the day into twenty-four hours, and the addition of poisons to each hour, just as the twelve hours divide the day into twelve and assign twelve animals and twelve branches to each hour.”
‘Oh, is it something like the time setting of Dangga?’
A saying that divides the day into twenty-four hours like the twelve zodiac signs and adds one poison to each hour.
As I nodded my head in agreement, the explanation continued.
“Also, the twenty-four poisons are poisons classified by the Tang family that are not among the ten poisons, but are stronger than the upper poisons and slightly weaker than the ten poisons.”
“Wow. It’s stronger than the top poison, but a little bit weaker than the teen poison. Isn’t that amazing?”
“Yes, there is a story that the ancestors divided the ten poisons and created the twenty-four poisons with some regret.”
I was so excited when I heard that they had gathered friends who unfortunately didn’t make it into the rankings.
My grandfather smiled at my bright eyes and said,
“And if it is a flying snake, it is the flying serpent, the first part of the twelve o’clock hour, the first of the twenty-four poisons divided into six, the first part of the Heaven and Earth Dark Yellow.
“It means heaven.”
“Heaven!”
‘Wow, this is killing me. Since it’s the beginning, I’ll add the name of the sky. And the name of the poison is also Bicheon Shinsa.’
The first thousand of the twenty-four poisons.
I was thrilled by the name, meaning, and explanation.
And just when my grandfather finished explaining.
“Ah, there’s the little dragon! I told you I knew you’d be here!”
I can hear Seol’s sister’s voice.
I wondered if she had followed me all the way here, but when my older sister approached and greeted my grandfather, she smiled and said.
“Ryong, I finally got some news.”
“tidings?”
“The news that Yong-i was waiting for the most. A secret. Oh, I think the Tang family called it a flying god? The warriors who went into the forest found a flying thing in the valley of the stream. Since you were worried, your father said that you should go tomorrow. Hehe.”
“Ohhhhhh!”
The news has finally arrived that the long-awaited Bicheon Shrine has been confirmed.
Now, the first of the twenty-four readings, the time of heaven to catch heaven, has arrived.
