Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Wuming threw himself in front of Lani, crying so hard that the Lake of Corruption rippled and the stars under the ground dimmed.

Faced with Wuming’s stern cry, Lani’s answer was——

No. Lani said calmly.

Are you human? Wuming immediately stopped crying, Don't you have any sympathy for me when I'm so miserable?

Really miserable people won't cry so miserably. Lani said, They will only die in silence. Their putrid corpses will make them more conspicuous after death than before life.

That's me, I'm more eye-catching after death than in life. Wuming said, And we are partners. When partners are in trouble, it's your turn to lend a helping hand - your four hands are not bad. This is the hand.

Lani said: It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I don't believe you. I put all my money in one place, and I told you, will you only take part of it honestly? After you take it, it will be unprofitable, and you will still help me?

I will never take it all. Wuming raised his hand and swore with two fingers, I swear on the name of both fingers.

Lani crossed her arms and looked at Wuming coldly.

How about you find someone you trust to pick it up for me. Wuming suggested.

Just as he was talking, Tuefu crawled out of the lake, his body covered in ulcers gradually recovering.

Lani ignored Wuming and greeted Tuifu.

Tuifu weakly greeted Lani, and when he saw Wuming here, he weakly greeted Wuming again.

Wuming quickly gave Tuifu a few runes, and Melina helped him heal and regain his strength.

Thank you, senior. After regaining his energy, Tuifu gratefully held Wuming's hand, and then screamed in pain.

It was as if a mouse had burrowed under Tuifu's muscles, bulging and scurrying around in his body.

Oh, I'm sorry, there was a mistake. Melina apologized calmly.

Wuming also held Tuifu's hand with his backhand and said to Lani:

Let Tuifu go and get the money.

Lani sneered and curled her lips:

He's with you.

Hearing this answer, Wuming was a little stunned and carefully examined Lani's expression. Unfortunately, the doll's head and the brim of the hat covered the face of the spirit body, so the expression could not be seen clearly.

Wuming thought for a while and said to Tuifu:

How did you learn the story of the flame?

I can already enter the lake, but I can't control myself when encountering enemies, said Tuefu.

I'm going to teach you some tricks so that you can relax and avoid detours. Wuming handed Tuihu a few scrolls.

Tuifu thanked him, took the scroll and looked aside.

Wuming looked at Tuihu who was studying hard and asked Lani:

How did he practice during this period?

Lani replied: Go into the lake, be poisoned, resurrect, and go into the lake again.

How many times have you died? Wuming asked.

One hundred and six times, Lani said.

The number is really clear. Wuming said.

If you can't get through it, this is all you can do if you're bored.

What a good, hard-working boy. Wuming looked at her husband, My help will save him at least forty years of detours.

You really put yourself in a good position, Lani said.

This is not gilding. Wuming said, Do you think the flame is so easy to control?

Wuming shouted to Tuifu:

Tufu, try again.

But I haven't learned your method yet, senior. Tuefu said.

It's okay, let me see how you used it originally. Wuming said.

After listening to Wuming's words, Tuefu took a deep breath as usual, filling his whole body with the power of the flames.

While he was taking a deep breath, Wuming suddenly drew out his sword and pierced Tuifu's chest, causing a few drops of blood to fall.

What are you doing?! Lani was shocked and waved a few ice cubes at Wuming.

Wuming grabbed the few ice cubes with his backhand and stuffed them into Tuihu's chest.

Tuofu suddenly let out a moan, not a groan of pain, but a sound of relief.

When Lani heard this voice, she felt a chill in her cold body and looked at Tuo Fu.

The wound stabbed by Wuming has been opened horizontally by Wuming, revealing the horrific wound inside.

Even so, Tuefu didn't shed much blood.

It took me hundreds of years to learn to live with flames after being taught by a famous teacher and adapting in advance. Let me see if Tuefu is a genius, Wuming opened Tuifu's chest and looked around.

After looking at it, Wuming shook his head regretfully:

It seems that he is not.

There was pain in the eyes of Tuifu, whose chest was cut open. His chest was open, like an upside-down blood eagle. You could still see the squirming flesh and blood and alveoli inside, but it was basically charred and black, and the blood had almost disappeared.

Lani's eyes were a little straight.

Senior Wuming, I feel something is wrong. Tuifu looked at Wuming pitifully.

Wuming closed Tuifu's chest and called Melina to treat Tuifu.

Wuming looked at Lani:

Have you seen the rich woman? Without me, my husband would have to suffer here for at least several decades.

I didn't let him go. Lani turned around and stepped on the dirt with her little feet wrapped in hemp rope, I'll go by myself.

Before he could even take a step forward, Wuming grabbed him and lifted him up. Lani struggled and kicked Wuming's gauntlets:

let me go!

This is related to your mission and destiny, as well as the survival of my caravan. Think about it yourself. Wuming said, Are you sure you want to go by yourself? Use this body?

Wuming's words were like a heavy hammer hitting her head. Lani's eyes became empty. She gave up struggling and lowered her head. Her two legs and four arms drooped dejectedly, letting Wuming hold on to her.

Wuming seemed to have touched the finally honest kitten, patted the brim of Lani's hat, and let her go.

Okay, Tuifu, practice according to my method.

With Wuming's personal teaching and repeated practice before, Tuifu made rapid progress. He quickly absorbed Professor Wuming's methods and stepped into the Lake of Corruption again.

Wuming and Lanimelina sat on the shore, silently watching Tuifu go deep into the Lake of Corruption, groping forward, fighting monsters lurking in the lake, getting injured, defeated and dying, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake. Half of his bones surfaced for a while, and then A few bubbles popped up and sank again.

What a perseverance. Wuming held his chin, watching with gusto.

You know so much about flames, why don't you help? Lani glared at Wuming.

What do you know? It's a pleasure to watch the younger generation suffer! Wu's stern words earned Lani a blank stare.

This is his pilgrimage, and I don't want to disturb him. Wuming looked at the lake with a smile, It's a good thing to have the opportunity to see someone willing to understand and learn from the sun.

Wuming sighed leisurely:

Ah, I can't interfere with his heroic path. He is so innocent and so determined. He burns his life every time and fights at all costs. He will never give up no matter how many times he fails. Even if Even though there are two bottles on his butt, he can't help but attract people's eyes. Ah, he is really serious. Men who work hard are the most charming~”

Shut up! Lani said.

Wuming closed his mouth, words were stuck in his mouth, and he smiled with an exaggerated and ferocious smile:

How about that? Think about it, save your partner? I really need Rune.

Lani was silent for a moment and stretched out a hand:

Bring me the claws.

Wuming stretched out his hand armor in front of Lani, like a desk.

Lani wrote a secret message on the nameless palm.

What is this? Wuming asked.

Password. Lani said, My runes are hidden in a place and I need these instructions to open them.

Where is it? Wuming said, I promise to only take the part I need. If you don't believe me, you can ask Iggy to come with me, or ask Iggy to get it.

No need, just take them all, Iggy can't take them. Lani said, If Iggy could take them, I would have stopped talking nonsense to you.

Oh? In a small dark room? Wuming said.

Open-air, very spacious. Lani said, Why do you say that?

Iggy is a mountain demon. He's big. I don't think he can get in in the dark room. Wuming said.

Lani shook her head: He can't take it because my inheritance is somewhat special.

Inheritance? Wuming looked at Lani and felt that the word my was a bit interesting.

Lani said: Actually, I don't have 34.95 million runes. To be precise, I don't have a penny of runes.

Ah?! Wuming reacted greatly now, You can't cheat your uncle like this?

But you will get what you want. Lani said, And when did you become my uncle?

Your mother has already recognized Burke as her son. Burke used to recognize me as his father. Rounding things off, I am your uncle. After Wuming finished speaking, he thought about it, Or uncle? Or... godfather?

Wuming felt a chill coming from him and said:

Forget it, that's not important. You said you don't have runes, and you said I can get what I want. What do you mean?

You'll know when you go and take a look, Lani said.

It's better to make it clear in advance. Wuming said, Otherwise, like Selvais, he will lay a lot of holes in the contract. We should be polite first and then be polite. When doing business, we should be rude first and then be polite.

How dare you compare me to that guy Selvis... Lani muttered, --it's in the Kaliya study, which is easy to find--it's connected to the Divine Grant Tower.

God's Grant Tower! Wuming's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

What's in the Tower of Divine Grant? There is the favor of the big rune.

Wuming has only tasted the favor of Grek's Big Rune, which greatly supplemented his strength.

That's funny! Good sister! Wuming smiled from ear to ear, You actually want to give me the big rune.

There's no more big rune, Lani said. I lost the big rune.

Ah? Wuming blinked, Then what do you want to give me?

Lani said: The Great Rune is inherited from our bloodline. Our bodies and the Great Rune have a symbiotic relationship in a sense. I abandoned my body as a god and killed my own body. The body also abandoned the big rune.

Throwing away the big rune like this? What a sin. Wuming felt heartbroken after hearing this.

As long as I still have that body, I will be controlled by the Two Fingers. Lani said, This is a necessary sacrifice. Isn't it too cheap to let the lives in the border area be devastated while I sit back and relax but want to resist the Two Fingers.

Wuming said: Then what you want to give me is...

There is still power left in the body. Do you want it? If you want, I can give it all to you. Take it. I left my body in the Divine Grant Tower, Lani said, I will leave my body to you. .”

Wuming solemnly held Lani's little hand:

You are so courageous, I won't be polite to you. Don't worry, I will eat your body with the highest respect - raw! No grilling!

Another unfriendly look came from under the brim of the hat.

Wuming immediately understood, nodded and bowed:

Lady Lani, do I hate you? If I hate you, I will disappear immediately.

It's annoying. Lani waved her hand to Wuming, Be more quick.

Okay, Lady Lani, I will disappear immediately. Wuming, who got the benefit, prepared to leave without saying a word.

Just when Tuifu was resurrected, he stopped again and said hello.

Get along well with Lady Lani. Wuming patted Tuifu on the shoulder with a solemn tone, as if he was explaining something important, which made Tuifu confused.

I don't understand why she gave it to you. Melina stood aside chewing octopus legs and said vaguely.

Because I'm annoying. Wuming smiled, There are some things that she doesn't want to hear, so she naturally wants me to shut up and disappear.

What? Melina asked.

This... Wuming glanced at Tuifu, You have to figure it out yourself.

Saying that, Wuming was about to leave.

Melina tilted her head, not understanding.

There is another question. Melina added, Don't you have to pay wages to your employees? How can you eat it yourself? And can your employees get runes by eating meat?

Wuming paused, remained silent for a moment, and then knocked on his helmet:

forget.

What you said makes sense, Melina. Wuming said, Then can you transform corpse runes?

Melina was also stunned:

What do you want to do?

Since it was you who raised the problem, let you solve it. Wuming said, We are also relatively short of runes.

I have to follow him. Melina glanced at her husband.

Wuming also looked at Tuifu:

Fahu, can you lend me your witch?

No problem! Tuefu agreed without thinking, and happily said to Melina, Melina, you said you wanted to save the common people before, but now you have a chance. There are many seniors in the caravan. Employees, you can save their lives now.

Melina rolled her eyes upwards, imagined what her husband said, and nodded:

That makes sense, I'm leaving.

Goodbye, come back and bring me some shrimps. Tuifu greeted Melina, Don't bring too much, it's hard for you to carry it alone.

Melina said: I'll take Torret with me.

Tuifu touched the spirit horse bone whistle on his body and found that it had appeared in Melina's hand, pointing at him:

what about me?

You won't need it anyway, Melina said.

Tuifu looked at the endless corruption lake:

That's right, we can't let Toret suffer this. He's not as smart as me and can understand the teachings of his predecessors.

By the way Torret is not afraid of corruption, Melina said.

Ah? Then why did I die more than a hundred times? Tuifu was stunned.

How do I know? Melina summoned the spirit horse, mounted the horse, and slowly turned the horse's head, Let's go.

Wuming also caught up: Give me a ride.

Torrett is unwilling...
