Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Are you sure you want to camp here? Patch looked at the bridge next to him.

Caravans have always been driven along traffic thoroughfares, so that there is business. Wuming said matter-of-factly, and the reason he gave was very reasonable.

I don't care. Not necessarily the people in the caravan. I'm afraid I'll scare them. Patch pointed to the piles of corpses on both sides of the bridge.

Are you scared? Wuming asked the employee.

Is it a pile of corpses? I've seen it a long time ago. The businessmen replied.

I saw it before when we formed a group to run towards the flying dragon's mouth. The Immortal said.

The pile of corpses in Morn City was made by us. The hybrid replied.

We live in coffins, what do you think? The Son of Omen said as he prepared to open the coffin and lay down in it. He saw that it was already filled with merchandise and left with regret.

It seems that the employees accepted it well. Wuming said with satisfaction, Perfumers are also the ones piling corpses in the cemetery, so it shouldn't matter.

Only Mengt showed obvious disgust. Although he had already led his troops to fight on the battlefield, this King of Omens still retained the heart of a golden people.

We're setting up camp here. Wuming announced, Son of Omen, please take all the merchandise out of the car.

If you want to do business here, the volcano may not agree, right? Patch said.

He has learned that the negotiation between Wuming and Huoshan did not include doing business here.

After all, this is equivalent to building a warehouse here to provide supplies for attacking the volcano. The volcano will not allow this threat to exist.

I'm just setting up camp, not opening a shop. Wuming looked at the corpses by the bridge, Are you doing business with the dead here?

The volcano has a very vicious reputation, and it does the same job of hunting faded ones as Bloodfinger. Few faded warriors come here, even if there are big runes here.

After all, the vast majority of warriors do not have heroic talents.

He has a heroic heart but no heroic talents. Most of the tragedies at the junction originate from this.

Wuming said: Free up the empty truck so that we can get on the bridge and then transport the supplies out.

Where are the supplies you promised to the volcano? Patch asked.

Just find a flock of sheep and drive them to the bridge. Wuming said.

It's not defiled enough. Patch said, I'm afraid the volcano won't accept it.

I'll hurry up. Wuming said.

What does this have to do with hurrying up? Patch was speechless.

The volcano tortures people, and I whip the sheep hard. Isn't it the same desecration and blasphemy? Wuming said.

I don't think so, Patch said. Tannis isn't that easy to fool.

Then I'll just say it was stolen. Wuming said.

This is not bad. Patch nodded, I'll arrange for someone to grab it right away.

When you go to rob, remember to slap the shepherd's face hard with runes. Wuming told Patch, To achieve the ultimate humiliation effect.

Wuming inspected the caravan. Most of them were quite adaptable to the environment in the volcano. After a long period of wandering, settling down was more important than anything else. Basically, everyone had a calm expression on their faces.

There are only two exceptions.

Mengt was expected, but Wuming was a little surprised by Serian's manic expression.

So annoying. Se Lian sat on the roof of the coffin car, covering his head and looking ferociously at the crystal debris in front of him.

Has the research encountered a bottleneck again? Wuming was concerned about the old employees.

Seeing Wuming come to talk, Se Lian's attention was diverted from research, and the expression on his face became calmer.

Se Lian said: The research is going very well, but here I am always a little upset and can't calm down.

How can this convoy stop being more annoying than the bumps on the road? Wuming asked.

It's not a problem with the sound. Se Lian listened intently, Or it's not a sound that can be heard by the ears.

Ser Lian thought for a while: I know, it's the soul.

Se Lian looked at the mountain of corpses in the distance: There are too many dead people and innocent souls here. It's a bit noisy.

You are quite sensitive and can sense souls. Wuming said.

Isn't it just because of my research on souls that I became a heretic? Se Lian said, I explore the wisdom in stones and make star seeds, just to collect the souls of magicians and put them into stones. My source Pyroxene—my soul, is also the soul condensed in the crystal.

Ser Lian said, turning his head to look at the various crystal fragments in front of him and operating them.

Probably due to lack of concentration, the crystallized dust suddenly exploded, sending Se Lian flying and hitting a stone statue.

The stone statue collapsed and hit Se Lian.

Are you okay? Wuming walked over and lifted the stone statue.

It's okay. Se Lian climbed out of the gravel. Although there were some scars on his face, they were not serious.

Good luck. Wuming discovered that Serian had not been smashed, and the stone pillar collapsed to form a triangle, allowing Serian to hide in it.

If the stars are blocked, I can't die. Se Lian said.

Speaking of this, do you still often feel sleepy now? Wuming asked.

It's almost the same as before. Se Lian said.

Sorry, my progress here is a bit slow. Wuming said, When I figure out how to block the will of two fingers, I will bring Lani over to break the curse for you.

It's okay. Se Lian said calmly, We can just take advantage of this period of time to conduct research on the crystallization sect.

What results have been achieved? Wuming asked.

Se Lian suddenly looked proud: Open your eyes.

Se Lian climbed onto the coffin cart again and pulled out a crystal doll from the ruins.

There is simply a small speaker hanging on the crystal doll, which is inserted into the crystal body.

Se Lian placed the crystal doll in front of Wuming, inserted it into her waist, and said with high spirits:

Serui version 3.5.

Is he smarter than the previous one? Wuming asked.

Much smarter. Se Lian said, It's not the same thing at all. This one will continue to learn and grow. Now it is smarter than the weak one before, and it is still learning and growing. Hum, surpassing Burke will be just around the corner! If it continues like this , maybe even surpass Lani, or even the full moon.

Se Lian sighed: The only regret is that the study time is a bit long every time. If you make a mistake, you have to start over. It would be nice if we could do it faster. Unfortunately, our crystallization scale is not large enough. We should put the academy's Luther Master Te brought it. His body must be very useful.

Se Rui. Wuming teased the crystal villain, When will your mother surpass the full moon?

The horn on the crystal man’s neck sounded:

It is very difficult to predict when a person's magic will surpass the full moon, because it involves multiple factors, including talent, effort, training methods, teaching environment, etc. In addition, Full Moon Queen Lenora is widely considered to be the most powerful person in history. One of the great magicians, her achievements are so outstanding that they are difficult to surpass...

Wuming smiled: You are indeed a lot smarter.

Se Lian gave Wuming an angry look and picked up the crystal child:

Let's go, go back and continue feeding you the scrolls.

But the innocent souls around him were still there, and Se Lian still couldn't calm down.

Let me help you clean up. Wuming said.

Cleaning up the corpses? Se Lian said, With such a large number of innocent souls gathered, it might not be easy to just clean up the corpses.

I have my own way, just look at it.

Wuming clasped his hands behind his back, like an old man taking a walk, or like an inspection leader, walking slowly along the bridge with piles of corpses along the way.

The mouth opens and closes from time to time, as if he is mumbling something.

From one side, walk to the bridge and back from the other side.

When he came back again, Wuming asked Selian:

Are you still noisy?

It's really gone. Se Lian was surprised, How did you do it?

They have been saved and have been reborn in the paradise world. Wuming said in a holy tone, and his armor shone slightly, as if there was a burst of holy light around him.

After saying that, he rubbed his stomach and burped. The glimmer of light on his body dimmed like burning paper after the wind passed by.

Then I have to work, so you can go ahead. Se Lian immediately waved his hand and gave the boss Wuming an order to expel the customer.

Wuming didn't leave, looking at the crystal scraps on Serian's workbench:

And one more thing.

What's the matter? Se Lian asked.

If you are not busy, I would like to entrust you to make something for me.

Wuming handed Se Lian a drawing:

I'm not familiar with this thing either. If you study the Crystal Sect and study souls, you might be able to make it.

Se Lian tilted his head, showing a puzzled look:

What is this? Like an egg.

The soul can hold memories and store information. Wuming said, This thing can use this characteristic of the soul to shape the soul with crystals.

Wuming said: To put it simply, it has something in common with your eupyrite technology. The technology of soul and crystallization is somewhat similar to your research field, right?

There is indeed a crossover. Se Lian said, But the information you gave is too little. It is different to just store and directly use the soul. What is the function of this thing? Store the soul?

Universal mold. Wuming said, It can carve and extract things from memory. It can be regarded as some kind of... smelting furnace, or magic crucible.

This is complicated. I'll give it a try, but there's no guarantee it can be done. Se Lian said, It sounds a bit like the magic spell of the living pot. I haven't done any research on this aspect.

Who knows more about this? Wuming asked.

Perfumer, Se Lian said.

Then I'll call Trisha back later, and you can jointly study it. Wuming agreed.

Is this thing important? Se Lian asked.

It's very important. Wuming looked serious.

What will it be used for? Se Lian said, I can stop my research first.

Wuming stared at Patch in the distance:

The clothes in the border area... are all too plain. I'm going to give Patch two sets of beautiful clothes based on the memories of my hometown for a blind date.

Is this what matters to you?

This is a lifelong event for the caravan owner. Wuming said, It is related to future happiness. I am a priest after all, so I have to do my best.

Se Lian held her forehead and slumped her shoulders: Okay, I'll do it.

There's one more thing. Wuming grabbed Se Lian's shoulders with both hands and helped Se Lian correct his hunchback.

Are there? Se Lian was a little impatient.

Anyway, you can only wait while your child studies. Wuming said, This matter is also very important and closely related to you.

What?

I'm going to make a new body for Lani. Wuming said, Her original body... had some problems, which has seriously hindered her efficiency. I'm afraid it won't be long before she comes back to treat you.

You should ask Servis for this. Se Lian said, He is good at this.

We will find them, even Huo Huo will help. Wuming said, The products produced by our caravan, especially those for demigod business, must be of high quality.

Wuming said: Use the best technology to give Lani the best body. This does not involve researching new fields, just use the knowledge you have already learned.

That won't be a waste of effort. Se Lian made an estimate and agreed to Wuming.

Se Lian looked at Wu Ming warily: Are you okay?

It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your hard work. Wuming said with a smile, sending Se Lian away.

Wuming looked at the time and felt like he could go back to Lani.

============

In the underground river, Tuifu was working naked and sweating profusely.

With a pickaxe in each hand, he kept jumping up and down, jumping up and down.

Relying on hands, human power excavated a tunnel.

When my hands were sore, I raised a bead with one hand and smashed it with pyroxene ice cubes.

Relying on the alternation of hot and cold to crack the rock that is not particularly hard and dense.

It really took Tuifu to dig a way out.

Tufu knocked on the rock formation, listened to the sound, returned to Lani, sat down on the ground, and excitedly reported to Lani: We are almost digging through.

Thank you for your hard work. Lani took a small wooden cup, filled it with stream water and ice cubes, and handed it to her husband.

Tuifu is obviously a bit leaner now, with a haggard appearance and two dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing her husband working so hard, Lani felt a little embarrassed.

As long as you don't let me face the ants, it's nothing to be tired. Tuifu gave Lani a thumbs up, Aren't you working harder than me?

I haven't been resting forever.

Didn't you know how to dig it yourself while I was resting? Tuofu said.

Lani turned her head and said, You saw it.

The old man drooped his dark eyelids and said, If you use Comet Yazler to clear the way, I will definitely be able to see it - even if I am deaf, the earth will be shaking.

Lani whispered: Did I disturb you?

Tuifu didn't take it seriously: Why are you working so hard?

This is my mission.

But most people don't work as hard as you when performing their missions, right? Tuifu was curious.

Lani and Tuofu sat together to rest, looking at the dark winding tunnel that was about to be illuminated.

What do you think of the junction? Lani asked her husband.

Not very good. Tuifu blurted out.

Lani's question seemed to open up Tuafu's conversation, and he began to denounce the various miserable conditions in the border area.

The xenophobia of the golden people, the madness of the extreme believers, the pain of the defiled, the miserable lives of the powerless and weak being wantonly plundered...

Tifu sighed: Even in the Round Table Hall, Roger and D will argue endlessly over the issue of the dead...

Lani glanced sideways: You have seen a lot.

They are all my witches. Tuefu said. She showed me a lot and said she wanted me to have a deeper understanding of the current shortcomings of the border area.

That's right, Junjie is sick, confused and sick, and has never been awake. Petite Lani sat hugging her knees and said in a serious tone, I want to change everything.
