Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The insect with hundreds of hands is dead but not stiff.

Wuming feels this deeply now.

I just feel that the bugs in my mouth are still struggling and squirming, beating myself in the mouth.

Wuming bit all the resistance to pieces, but from Alexander's side, nothing happened.

Why do you eat so smoothly? Wuming wondered.

I don't know. Alexander didn't even understand what Wuming was asking.

Let me take a look. Wuming opened the lid of Alexander's pot and took a look inside.

An extremely putrid smell wafted out of Alexander's pot, and a scarlet color richer than the Ionian swamps covered the bottom of Alexander's red pot lid.

Many bugs entered Alexander's body and immediately became so comfortable that he could not move. Then they slowly merged with the carrion and were completely digested.

I understand. Wuming closed the lid, a little depressed.

Alexander didn't understand yet, but he didn't care. He grabbed a living bug and stuffed it into the pot.

Hey, don't eat him alive. Wuming stretched out his hand to stop Alexander.

You can fight, you have the final say. Alexander didn't insist, put down the live insect and turned to the dead insect, But you also said you could let me taste your body.

Those born in the year of the dog cannot eat enough. Wuming saw that Alexander had not forgotten it. As a businessman, he could not break his promise, so he found a knife, cut out a piece of meat, and threw it to Alexander, Be careful of poisoning.

I can eat all the rotten knights, I'm not afraid. Alexander was full of confidence, Let me taste the flesh, blood and will of this powerful warrior of yours.

The flesh and blood that Wuming threw over was different from what Alexander usually ate. It was a piece of cooked meat, and it was juicy.

Facing the nameless flesh and blood, Alexander was no longer as heroic as before when he ate insects. He found a long piece of cloth and wrapped it around the edge of the pot spout, grabbed two insect-edged swords and halberds, and carefully cut the flesh and blood.

Use one knife to hold it and the other to cut it. After cutting off small pieces, use the knife to skewer the meat pieces with one hand. Put down the knife with the other hand. Gently lift the lid of the pot through the small slit, put the meat pieces in, then close the lid and slowly digest it. .

Seeing Alexander eating so meticulously, Wuming was too embarrassed to disturb him and waited for Alexander to finish tasting and tell him his thoughts on the taste.

Well... I do have a strong will... Alexander said, But I always feel... not high-spirited enough, and I don't have that strong will to become a hero or a king...

Alexander paused, did not continue to eat the remaining flesh and blood, and concluded: It tastes terrible.

After hearing this, Wuming laughed loudly: I told you it's not delicious. I am a businessman's flesh and blood, how can I have the will to become a hero.

I'm even hungrier after eating. Alexander was a little depressed. The will contains more of deep desires and longings.

Accurate! As expected of someone who has eaten it all over the border. Wuming laughed loudly, Whether it tastes good or not, this is the taste. One hundred and fifty-eight thousand and six, thank you for your patronage.

Alexander handed over one million, no less than 160,000, and scraped some runes out of the pot.

But you won't let me eat live bugs. Why do you keep these bugs? Alexander asked.

I don't know. Wuming said.

Then kill him. Patch said at the side, You can't still think about making peace with the bug, right? Just like the bloody finger, just let it go? Be careful and let the tiger return to the mountain.

After hearing what Patch said, Millicent also held Wuming's hand worriedly: Teacher, don't pity the bugs. When you start to empathize with the enemy, there is already something wrong with your sense of right and wrong!

The bugs don't care about these surviving individuals at all. Whether they are released or not has no impact on the bugs. Wuming hesitated, I just think it would be a pity to kill them. The living should be more useful than the dead.

Don't you say that sometimes the dead are more useful than the living? Patch said.

That's sometimes. Wuming said, And they are bugs. Dead bugs are of little use anyway, they can only be used to fill their stomachs. Even if it is a dung ball, it will encounter a dung beetle sometimes, right?

Wuming touched his chin and looked at the insects whose bodies were constantly shaking, emitting strange frequencies, and seemed to be whispering to each other. He was a little unsure.

Anyway, take it away first and go back to the caravan. Wuming stopped thinking and threw the thing in his hand, This damn egg powder will be needed one day.

Wuming squeezed out all the threads in the bugs' stomachs, trapped them, and tied a bunch of bugs into a ball. The densely packed hands of the insects are intertwined with each other, and combined with the insect silk, they form a ball with ferocious insect heads all over the surface.

Wuming and Patch returned to the agreed place. The caravan had collected all the other parts of Wuming. They returned to the carriage and put it together again. An intact Wuming stood up again.

Wuming raised his sword high:

Your boss, Tangtang is resurrected!

The caravan cheered in unison.

Then Wuming lay down on the carriage and stopped moving.

Going to the academy? Patch leaned over.

Wake me up if you need it. Wuming held Patch's hand, shook it hard, and then passed out.

In a turbulent and non-stop manner, Wuming solved the matter at Yatan and returned to the academy again.

He was very concerned about the situation of Se Lian and Burke, and he didn't know whether Latarn finally caught up with Blockade Starry Sky.

The discussion room that was originally renovated for the ceremony had been completely destroyed due to the previous battle. The apprentices had dispersed, and Se Lian was not here either.

Wuming left the ruins, asked several people along the way, and finally found Se Lian.

Se Lian Burke, Man Yue and La Tarn are all in the big library at this time.

When Wuming reached the big library, Se Lian and Burke were both lying on the cradle bed, sleeping quietly.

Manwol and Ratan each cast their own magic. The full moon cast a strange mercury-like icy light over Burke and Seren, while Latarn swayed purple gravity magic to the sky through the skylight of the large library.

When the two saw Wuming coming in, they stopped their magic.

Latarn said to Wuming, You really know how to come back. It's useless for you to come back just after we finish our work.

My mission has been completed a long time ago. Wuming said.

Full Moon looked at Wuming with gentle eyes:

I remember you were Se Lian's puppet child?

From this intellectual speech, Wuming could tell that even if Queen Full Moon had not recovered, she was at least a normal person.

Wuming bowed to the queen of Kallia:

To be precise, I am Se Lian's boss and Burke's boss.

Thank you for your hard work these days. Man Yue said, Without your help, I would not have recovered so quickly.

How did you recover? Wuming asked, I don't remember anything irritating you at that time? Burke was in danger?

Man Yue smiled: Burke's injury is not a big deal. During the time when I was unconscious, he suffered much more than this.

She stretched out her slender white hand and stroked Burke's monkey head:

This child can become a talented person and stand in front to protect me like an adult, which is what makes me more gratified.

So it was Burke who was responsible for your recovery?

It's more than that. Man Yue looked at the cradle on the other side and pinched Se Lian's cheek, This child reminds me of who I used to be.

You in the past? Wuming said, When you were not married?

To be precise, it was when I was a child. It was when I was still in the snow-capped mountains, chasing stars day and night. That's where I met the full moon. Lenara's fingers traced across the tip of Se Lian's small nose, That was too long ago - —So much so that I have forgotten the past. It is so nostalgic, those quiet and passionate years when I was obsessed with stargazing and magic.

I have long heard that the Queen of the Full Moon, Lenara, conquered the academy with her full moon magic and reached the pinnacle of magicians. Wuming was in awe when he thought that these achievements were achieved when he was a full moon girl.

Awesome. Wuming said.

Lenara thought of that beautiful period in her childhood and smiled. Then she thought of what happened next and sighed:

Maybe it's because I'm too sensitive that I ended up like this.

It's a good thing to have talent. Wuming complimented and looked at Latarn, Speaking of Niu, how did you beat Niu Niu? Did you save Se Lian?

Latarn grinned and showed a ferocious smile: Humph, who do you think I am? Watch carefully.

Ratan took out a blue ball from his back.

A blue, deep-colored, round and crystal-clear pyroxene ball.

It's just like Luset's crown... or Starfall Beast's eyes.

The huge blue ball is quite well-proportioned and suitable in Latarn's hands. Latane is so good at slamming the blue ball on the ground. The pyroxene ball and the floor of the large library are hard and soft, but there is no elasticity. But the blue ball was bounced back by the violence, bouncing back and forth with Latarn's slaps.

Latane dribbled the ball under his crotch, twirling it on his fingers.

Quiet. Man Yue suddenly spoke, which shocked Latarn. The ball in his hand fell to the ground, bounced twice and stopped moving.

Latane stared blankly at the ball on the ground, like a child who dropped an ice cream ball on the ground.

This is a big library, don't make any noise. Lenora said.

Oh... Latan nodded, his tall body shrinking behind Man Yue.

It seems that Se Lian's life has been saved. Wuming said, Why haven't they woken up yet?

Let them recuperate for a while so they can recover from their injuries. Man Yue replied, touching Se Lian's soft body, This child really wants to become a star, but stars don't have the ability to repair themselves.

The full moon cast some mysterious magic, awakening both Burke and Seren.

Burke woke up first, and Yoyo opened her eyes.

He bounced up and looked around:

Where is the enemy? Has the enemy been repulsed? Is mother okay?

It's okay. Not only is it okay, but I've recovered. Wuming replied, The bad things are over, and the good things have come to an end.

Recovered? When Burke heard Wuming's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little happy.

He turned around and saw Man Yue standing behind him, standing dignified and showing a graceful smile.

Burke subconsciously wanted to throw himself at the full moon, but he stopped, with a look of joy and desolation on his face; he moved his lips but made no sound. Burke saw the heroic son behind the full moon again. His attitude finally became respectful, and he clearly shouted:

Lady Lenora.

Wuming shuddered and looked around: Why is it so cold?

Full Moon Queen Lenora looked at Burke and frowned. The air around her became a little cold under the control of high concentration of magic power.

Lenora slowly walked towards Burke and looked at him condescendingly.

Burke didn't dare to retreat, his lips trembled a little.

The Queen of the Full Moon adopted a demi-human as her son. With such a scandal, Burke felt that he would be silenced in the next second.

Lenara suddenly crouched down. Even in her crouching position, she was much taller than Burke. She stretched out her hand and picked up Burke, with a serious face:

You don't want to be my son?

Burke was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Wuming reacted quickly and kicked Burke's butt:

Call Mom.

Burke hesitated, observing the look on the face of Full Moon Queen Lenora.

Lenara just smiled, with encouragement in her smile, as if she was watching a shaky child learn to walk.

Seeing this smile, Burke immediately felt familiar.

The kindness and gentleness between her eyebrows are exactly the same as when Queen Full Moon went crazy before, and they are exactly the same as her deceased mother.

Burke finally understood Lenora's thoughts.

It was not the emotion of a crazy woman grasping at straws, but the true love of a wise queen.

Mom! Burke called loudly, extremely excited, I have a mother again!

When Lenara heard this, she immediately hugged Burke in her arms and rubbed her face against Burke's little head.

The mother who lost her child hugs the child who lost her mother.

Wuming looked at the mother and son nestling together, knowing his relationship with Kalia, and finally found a reliable bridge.

Wuming walked next to Latarn:

How do you feel, seeing your mother adopt an Asian as her son?

Is there such a good thing? Latarn was very surprised. I recognize this brother. I hope my mother will only torment him in the future.

As long as you are willing. Wuming looked at Se Lian's cradle, Why hasn't Se Lian woke up yet?

Se Lian's situation is more complicated. Man Yue put down Burke and walked to Se Lian's side. The destined death has burned her source stone. Although the starry sky is blocked, she cannot die. But death will still continue to erode her. ——It will be easier to get sleepy.”

Latarn said: It's okay for Se Lian. After all, he is a stargazer. His soul is locked by the stars, and his body can be changed at will. After Godwin's soul was killed by his destined death, his body was still being repaired by the huge golden power. , no longer like a human being.”

Wait a minute, isn't Se Lian going crazy? Wuming reacted.

Se Lian is hung up by the stars, and the seals of the stars cannot be broken at all. Se Lian is also an Originist...

Wuming wanted to stop him, but Latarn had already helped and clapped his hands in front of Serian's face, and the loud noise woke up Serian. With a cry, Se Lian gradually woke up.

I'm... Se Lian sat up, covering her heart.

She looked around and saw everyone present. After thinking for a moment, she immediately understood a lot of the situation.

Queen Kalia, you're awake... Se Lian stared at the full moon, her eyes full of hostility.

They saved us. Wuming quickly smoothed things over.

But it was of no use. The scene was a bit solemn. Se Lian looked at Man Yue without saying anything, while Man Yue slowly walked towards Se Lian.

The tall body stood in front of Se Lian, almost like looking at a child.

You—— Se Lian arched her body slightly, like a lioness who only wanted to choose someone to devour.

But the lioness was picked up, and Queen Lenora of the Full Moon held her armpits with her hands and picked her up like Burke. One hand went around Se Lian's chest, the other hand touched Se Lian's long black hair like a cat, and rubbed Se Lian's face.

Good boy, don't make trouble. Man Yue said with a smile.

Put me down! Se Lian was going crazy.

Several magical swords rose from around Serian and stabbed Lenara without saying a word.

The sharp magic sword hit the Full Moon Queen's robe, and the robe lifted up with a pop, like a strong wind blowing, and then dissipated.

Be good, be good, don't make trouble. The Full Moon Queen rubbed her face against Se Lian's cheek to soothe her mood.

The more you comfort, the angrier you get.

Wuming felt that if this situation continued, Se Lian might bite his tongue and spit blood all over Man Yue's face, so he quickly stopped.

Business matters first, let's talk about Se Lian's physical problem first, it's more important. Wuming said.

Physical problem? Se Lian was stunned, What's wrong?

Wuming coughed twice: Now there is good news and bad news.
