Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

When Wuming woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Wuming suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the seaside.

But there was no shadow of the sun, and what I saw before seemed like a dream.

It won't be more noticeable until evening. Se Lian's voice came from beside him, The light of the golden tree and the full moon is too bright, so it will be more difficult to observe the trajectory of this star.

Wuming turned his head to look, and saw that Se Lian was still sitting next to him. His body was a little wet, as if his robe had been wetted by the morning dew, and his temples were stuck to his cheeks.

Have you been guarding me? Wuming came back to his senses.

I didn't expect your reaction to be so big, so I have to take responsibility. Se Lian smiled, But a big reaction is a good thing. It shows that you have the potential to become the Origin Sect. Back then, Master Yazler and Master Luset The response was huge.”

Wuming glanced at the sea level again, and his mind returned to the sun:

The sky is so vast. I thought there were only golden trees and a full moon in the sky at the junction.

I was also surprised. There was no record before. It seems that the observation conditions for this star are really harsh. Se Lian said, Even stargazing on the border is far from exhaustive. Stargazers really have to travel all over the border. , to understand the truth.”

The sun...it turns out there is a sun here... Wuming lamented, How could there be a sun here...

Who knows, Se Lian said, The Golden Tree only grew stronger and blocked out the sky after the Golden Law was established. The full moon only hung high on the dome after the Full Moon Queen. The sky in Galid was scarlet, Latarn can influence the stars.”

Wuming thought thoughtfully: You mean, there is the influence of gods?

Who knows. Se Lian said.

Wuming calmed down and thought for a moment:

Let's go back first. It seems that the manpower here will be permanent. Arrange a few stargazers to sort out the data. We can't do anything else. We can only ask others in the future - how is Lani?

You decide. Se Lian said, I'm just giving you a gift.

I really didn't expect this gift. Wuming said, Thank you.

Se Lian smiled and put the azure stone mask back on:

Okay, it's time to go back and do business. I'm going to stay at Airei Church for a few days, so you should go back first.

Anything else? Wuming asked, If you need help, please feel free to ask.

It's nothing, just let the two Star Children contact and communicate with each other. Se Lian said, The Star Children have very high intelligence. Letting them communicate with each other will be much faster than using violence to tame them.

Won't they come up with some bad ideas? Wuming said.

I'm watching. Don't worry. I can now decipher the language of the Children of the Star. I will know if there are any clues. Se Lian said, Your defensive formation is not afraid of the power of the Children of the Star. Relax.

Wuming sighed: You are so great, you are such a role model, I don't even know what to give as a year-end bonus next time. If this continues, I will have no choice but...

What can we do? Se Lian asked.

I've let you become a shareholder. Wuming said, I'll discuss it with Patch later and let you become the boss too.

Se Lian laughed: I don't know how to run a caravan, just let me study magic without any restrictions.

There is a chance. Wuming said, As long as you have enough runes, you can get any experimental materials.

Wuming was about to say goodbye to Se Lian when a businessman walked up to Wuming in a hurry:

Boss, we have encountered some problems with our silk supply.

What's the problem? Wuming asked.

The bugs reduced the supply.

What's the reason?

The other party didn't disclose it and insisted on negotiating with you privately. The businessman said, Maybe he wants to increase the price?

Okay, I'll go to Galid. Wuming said.

The other party came directly. The businessman said.

An old sage in red robes, led by the Immortal, came to Wuming.

The immortal and the merchant all retreated, leaving only the old sage alone.

Gwei, long time no see. Wuming stretched out his arms and hugged the old sage, What's the matter?

Gewei did not answer. He glanced at Se Lian behind Wuming and signaled Wuming with his eyes.

Don't worry about her. Wuming said, This is our future shareholder and one of the bosses. We are on the same level.

What I want to say is about our agreement. Gewei hinted at Wuming in cryptic words, Are you sure you don't want to chat privately?

What agreement? Wuming said, An agreement that I will provide you with domestic garbage and you will provide us with silk? What is there to hide?

It's the initial agreement. Gewei said in a gloomy tone.

What agreement? Wuming wondered.

About the agreement to help Millicent. Gewei said, About the agreement that you will help the corrupt family expand their territory.

After Gewei finished speaking, he glanced at Se Lian.

Se Lian had no reaction, and no one knew the nameless lawlessness better than her. Could the taboo of helping a corrupt relative be greater than helping her origin sect?

Hasn't your territory expanded? Wuming said, The household garbage should be enough for you to dig the swamp deeper, right?

What about Millicent? Gwei said, Millicent wanted to complete her mission, but you didn't help her. She is still on the edge of the world.

How did you know? Wuming was surprised.

I am her adoptive father. Do you think I will hand her over to you so easily? Gewei said, She is staying in your caravan but will not leave. You are destroying the child.

She wants to stay at my place. Wuming said.

Then you just let her stay? Gewei said. Children have to grow up and have to go out to experience. If they stay at home all the time, they are just flowers in the greenhouse. How can they bloom beautifully?

Do you like flowers very much? Wuming asked, I just have some here, do you want them? Fresh blood roses, four hundred runes each.

Why do I want Blood Rose? Gwei said, Is there any mistake? I'm talking to you about Millicent!

Okay, okay, I will tell her. Wuming said, Don't worry, she said she wanted to go to the Holy Tree. To get to the Holy Tree, I heard you have to go through the Royal City. We are working hard. Establish a good relationship with Wangcheng and ask Wangcheng to allow us to enter and exit. We are also very eager to open up sales.

I can't tell. Gewei said, You are still in the mood to look at the stars. I came here last night and wanted to talk about it late at night, but you are actually looking at the stars.

Are you dissatisfied with stargazing? Se Lian said, Sooner or later, human beings have to look up at the stars and become children of the stars.

Thank you, I'm not a human being. Gewei said, I don't think the starry sky is better than the ground either.

These words seemed to annoy Se Lian, and the red sword blade whirled around her, bringing out a subtle air blade that filled the surroundings.

Calm down and calm down, peace brings wealth. Wuming quickly stopped him.

But it was too late. The fine air blades were too dense and floated to Gewei's side, cutting his clothes.

Like a balloon, the old sage's body suddenly exploded and turned into a big insect.

Is this your attitude? The remaining voice still came from the insect, It seems that our cooperation can stop.

No, it's just a misunderstanding. Wuming said to the corpse, I'll let Millicent go on her way when I get back, right?

I will pay attention to you and see if the merchant's mouth is honest.

The sound drifted away, and the insect's body finally stiffened and stopped shaking.

It's really a bug. Se Lian said, I didn't even try hard.

This is just an illusion, it will be shattered if you give it some strength. Wuming said.

How can this insect still talk after it's dead? Se Lian said, It seems like the sound was not made by him.

I'm not very clear about this. Wuming said, Gwei's consciousness doesn't seem to be destroyed along with the body. In the past, it was okay for the body to self-destruct casually. Insects seem to be like this. They have a very collective consciousness, Gewei It’s not like the consciousness of an individual.”

The soul is limited, but consciousness can be attached to the soul at will. The consciousness of a group of insects... Se Lian looked at the insect, and the pyroxene on the hood shone with a bright green light, It's interesting, maybe it can be absorbed. value……

Seeing Se Lian lost in thought, Wuming greeted her and left.

========

On the Yatan Plateau, the pale ancient dragon soars freely in the sky.

Feng Lei gathered around Gu Long, and Yun Yu was at Gu Long's disposal.

How's it going? The strong wind roared around Gu Long, converging into a woman's arrogant voice, Do you think you can taint me now?

On the dragon's claws, a human figure is held in the dragon's claws. The dragon's four wings are waving, and the human figure also swings its limbs as the dragon flies.

The dragon's voice seemed to stimulate the figure, and the dim liquid gushes out of the figure's mouth and scatters in the air, forming a rainbow.

The tainted curse was spit out, stained on the dragon's claws, and dissipated with the wind and thunder.

Is that okay, little brother? Gu Long laughed and began to lower the flight altitude, finally landing on the hillside next to the caravan camp and placing the person on the ground.

Mengt's mouth was stained with his own bodily fluids, and he collapsed on the ground, looking up at the majestic and proud dragon, his lips trembling, and he was speechless.

The dragon's body shrunk and changed into the appearance of a blonde woman again, squatting next to Mengt:

I am Gu Long, I will not be afraid.

Mengt still didn't speak, but tilted his head slightly.

Ouch, you're blushing. You're still shy. This is not my real body. Lance Sanks was naked and pinched Mongot's ominous horn. You just saw my rock skin. Yeah, why aren't you shy?

Mengt didn't respond. When he looked again, he had fainted.

Trisha climbed up the hillside, ran to the two of them, and quickly checked Mongot's body.

This guy was so shy that he fainted. Lance Sanks said, He is obviously a king, but why is he so timid?

He was infected with typhoid and fainted. Trisha said angrily, Next time, don't throw the patient into the sky when the patient is not fully recovered, okay?

Who asked him to provoke me? He actually thought that I would be afraid of his Furnace Hundreds. Lance Sanks excused himself.

Okay, help me carry him back. Trisha said, He's too big, I can't lift it alone.

Oh. Lance Sanks bent his arms, lifted Mengt on his shoulders, and started walking down the slope.

You put on some clothes first, what do you look like? Trisha said.

There's no clothes around here. Lance Sanks said unconcernedly.

Trisha took off her heavy apron and handed it to Lance Sanks: Wrap it around.

Oh, human beings, civilization only uses clothes to decorate, but does not pursue wisdom. Lance Sanks held his head high and spoke loudly, You have obviously seen it, and you don't care, so why do you think others care -

Lance Sanks was halfway through talking when he saw a pair of dangerous peaks under Trisha's heavy apron.

Oh...I see. Lance Sanks suddenly understood.

Lance Sanks took the apron and simply put on a wrap skirt, like a strong ancestral citizen, carrying Mengt like a log.

How can the Son of Omen be so strong and suffer from typhoid fever? Lance Sanks chatted with Trisha.

When you are weak, it is easier for patients to take advantage of you. Trisha said, Have you never been weak?

I'm an ancient dragon. Lance Sanks said, Not to mention bad omens and illnesses, even the dead prince's abscess can't do anything to me.

Awesome, then it has been decided from above that you will take care of these children of evil omen. Trisha said.

Above? Lance Sanks was stunned, What above?

Patch's intention, Trisha said, is for you to take care of the Son of Omen, reduce the consumption of our perfumers, and prevent the staff from being reduced by the taint curse.

You can command me about anything? Lance Sanks was dissatisfied on the spot, I'm going to find that bald theory guy.

Lance Sanks admired Patch at first, but after staying in the caravan for a long time, he saw Patch's true nature and wished he could slap him twice.

This guy has absolutely no power to be a king.

Lance Sanks angrily found Patch's camp.

Patch was putting his legs on the table and looking at a map.

Seeing Lance Sanks coming, Patch put down his legs and greeted warmly: May, what's the matter?

Don't call me Ami, it's not soil. Lance Sanks said.

Isn't this the name you gave yourself? Patch wondered.

Then my name is Lance Sanks now.

I can't help it, I'm used to it. Patch said, The moment I saw you transform, I felt that this name suits you.

Lance Sanks?

Ami.

What does this have to do with Gu Long?

No, it just reminds me of a person who is similar to you, named Amelia. Patch waved his hand and said with an obvious exaggerated gesture, That guy was also beautiful when he was in human form, and he was holy and elegant after his transformation.

Really? Lance Sanks was a little happy to be praised. He was a little pleased with Patch's bald head, but he quickly put on a straight face, What do you mean? I am the Dragon Sacrifice of the Royal City, the Ancient Dragon Lance Sanks , you want me to be a nurse to take care of the son of evil omen?

This is a plan, and I can only wrong you. Patch said, I was told to complete it before Wuming left.

what's the plan?

Patch folded his hands and supported his chin on the back of his hands:

We need to win the support of Mengt. With the demigod-level combat power and the support of King Rodel, the trade route can be opened.

Lance Sanks was suspicious: Have you ever cared so much about caravans before?

Of course, I am the boss and I care about the development of the caravan.

What is the real purpose? Lance Sanks got straight to the point.

The Volcano Mansion is too scary. Patch frowned, The force sent this time almost knocked you all over. We urgently need a demigod-level power to support the scene.

I have to say that what Patch said makes sense, and Lance Sanks also feels the same. It was only thanks to the fact that she and Menggert happened to be there, otherwise Millicent would not have been able to stop the battle like last time. If it weren't for Wuming, even with the two of them, the ending would have been tragic.

Judging from the other party's words, there are experts at the Huoshan Mansion.

Patch said: So we are going to use some means, coercion, inducement, and torture to get this King of Omens to help us.

That's so easy to say. Are you the only one who still wants to torture a demigod? Lance Sanks disapproved.

Of course I have a way. Patch said.

You have a way, what do you want me to do?

If he survives all our threats and inducements, you are the only one who can do it. Patch gestured fiercely with his knife, Honey trap.
