Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Melina rode the spirit horse, walking side by side with Wuming, silently walking back.

I still haven't figured it out. What doesn't Lani want to hear? Melina asked Wuming.

It feels like your mind is being stirred up, Wuming said.

Being provoked... Melina thought about what Wuming said and nodded, I understand.

Melina suddenly realized: No wonder you want me to leave. You want them to be alone.

Wuming smiled: Oh, Tuifu is a very good junior.

Although he is a bit stupid, I have to admit that Toret has a good vision. Melina touched the mane of the spirit horse under her crotch and smiled, He does have the potential to become a king -

As a junior, I listen to my seniors very much. This is a very good character. Wuming continued, We have to let him have a good relationship with Lani, so that we can open up another sales channel for a demigod. And also I can make a lot of money to get married—what were you just about to say?”

Nothing. Melina and Thoret glanced over their heads together, as if they didn't bother to look at Wuming.

Torrett also snorted loudly, and sprayed out two streams of soul air from his nostrils.

Wuming looked at Melina's reaction with surprise:

Why do you react like this? Could it be that...you also like Tuihu?

Nameless eyes are sharp:

As long as you pay more than Lani, I will help you get it back.

Melina seemed to have no energy to even roll her eyes. She put her elbows on the saddle, lay on her side on the horse, and said lightly:

I'm not interested in losing my husband.

Is it because you are destined to die on the way? Wuming said.

After finishing speaking, he said with the same tone as in the previous drama: Because I am destined to be unable to accompany him, so I first close my heart. When I see him getting close to other girls, I can only bless him in pain. Just because you know , that is the happiness you cannot give...

Melina watched Wuming's performance expressionlessly and yawned:

Are there any octopuses left?

Yes, thank you for a hundred runes. Wuming took out a few octopus whiskers that had been turned into dried meat from the package, sprinkled them with gold powder, and the whiskers immediately became moist and plump, exuding an alluring aroma.

It's on the husband's account. Melina took the octopus tentacles and started chewing them. Although she still had no expression, the tense expression on her face seemed to relax a little, with a touch of happiness.

Far greater than the reaction given by watching unknown actors perform in dramas.

You really don't have feelings for Tuifu? Wuming said, Don't you like him? I thought that if we get along day and night, we can't help ourselves - that's what Milie said.

Melina said: You actually don't understand it yourself. I can't see what feelings you have.

Of course I have feelings, I love this rune deeply. Wuming inspected the rune that Melina paid him.

I quite like Tuihu. Melina chewed on the octopus tentacles, But I don't like him more or less than you.

Are you still interested in me? Wuming was surprised.

What this sentence means is that even scum like you will be treated equally by me. Melina drooped her eyelids, We should treat heroes and golden people with the same love, and treat all things equally. Of.

Although she seemed extremely lazy, Melina's lazy tone made Wuming feel a little bit lofty.

Is this also Malika's motto? Wuming asked.

This is my summary of my mother's actions and observations at the junction. Melina said, Before I met my husband, I had been drifting in the junction for a long time and witnessed a lot.

I appreciate you more and more. Wuming handed Melina another octopus tentacle, This one is my treat. Heroes think alike.

Are you a hero?

Then... beauties have similar opinions? Wuming hesitated.

You are not a hero, and I am not a beauty. Melina took the octopus leg, fed half of it to Thoret, and touched Torett's horns, Do you think so too?

This is the teaching of the Sun, Wuming said. When you see others suffering, you want to solve the pain. When you see others happy, you think there are many people in the border area who do not have this kind of happiness.

Melina nodded: I did often hear your preaching talk in the caravan, and I thought it was just a gimmick for you to win over people.

How is it possible? I am an honest businessman.

Melina sighed softly:

You can figure it out, but the husband can't. It's okay to let Lani stay with him. If I leave for a while, he should be able to figure it out - understand that individual happiness is meaningless, if the world cannot be saved... …”

Melina seemed to remember something and added:

Besides, when it comes to time spent with me, Thoret is the one who has been with me the longest. Don't let others get married randomly.

I understand, you don't need to stress it. Wuming smiled and nodded, After all, our ideas are very similar.

Melina nodded and said no more.

Wuming smiled meaningfully:

But although I do care more about the world, it doesn't mean that I don't have special feelings for individuals.

Melina still didn't speak, and turned over on Toret's body, not looking at Wuming.

Ah - Wuming spoke again, Melina, why are you here?

I came with Tuihu. Melina didn't know why Wuming asked such an obvious question.

How did Tuifu come?

The portal is the way you pointed it out.

Then how did he get out?

Bless me.

Melina turned over to see what medicine was sold in the nameless gourd.

The two of them had reached the starting point of the Ansel River, where many coffins were piled.

There is a clear blessing there.

But there is no portal.

Do you know how to leave? Wuming asked.

I don't know, what about you?

I do not know either.

The two looked at each other, their eyes facing each other.

Wuming had a headache.

He had always relied on puppets to get here before, and it was enough to switch between consciousnesses. Now that he came here in the flesh, there is really no good way to get back.

What should I do? Melina asked.

Directly above here is the Dikdas lift. Wuming said, I actually have a way to get up there, but you and I can't.

Wuming tried to reach out to Torett, who was so shocked that Torett stepped back.

Look, it won't even let me touch it.

It's normal, I don't want you to touch it either. Melina said, It seems you have to go alone.

Melina lay on the horse and scratched her belly:

Ah, I'm so sorry that I can't help you.

Can't Torette jump in the air? Wuming recalled how Tuifu had boasted about Torette's prowess to him, You can step up with your front hooves and your back hooves.

You can only step on it once. Melina said, If there is soul air flow, you can go up, but unfortunately, there is none here.

Melina spread her hands: There's nothing I can do to help - are there any octopus tentacles?

What is the soul air flow? Wuming asked.

Torrett is a spirit horse that can interact with souls. Melina thought for a while, It feels like building a ladder or stacking arhats. Where the soul is depressed, the soul air current can be formed, and the spirit horse can move along it. The air flow rises.”

I told you earlier. Wuming clapped his hands, I'm familiar with souls.

Are you familiar?

Before Melina could react, a large number of wronged souls erupted from Wuming's body, so dense that Wuming's body was almost invisible.

The souls of grievances surged directly toward Torrett and Melina next to them like huge waves, forming a tornado that instantly swept them into the sky.

Oh, it can really fly. Wuming watched the horse fly in four directions in the sky. He also unfolded his cloth bag, lit a fire under his feet, and slowly rose up.

Wuming found the crack that penetrated into Epileptic Fire Village and returned to the ground with Melina.

See the sun again! Wuming jumped out of the gap, praising the golden light in the sky.

Melina and Thoret, with messy hair, stood next to them, looking at Wuming with expressionless faces.

Wuming didn't have the slightest consciousness, and took Melina to the camp to rest first, and then prepared to go to the direction of Kaliya's Study and the Tower of Divine Grant.

Lani did not indicate the location of the Divine Grant Tower to Wuming, and there was no need to point it out. As the most eye-catching man-made building at the junction, the Divine Grant Tower could be seen by standing in a slightly open area.

It is located to the north of the eastern mainland of Lienia, at the easternmost edge, extending over the cliffs to the east and out to the sea.

Kallia's Study is on the edge of the cliff, connected to the Divine Grant Tower on the sea.

When Wuming was replenishing supplies at the camp, he also saw Patch, whose eye-catching watermelon head was shiny black.

Why are you here? Wuming greeted Patch.

Didn't you ask me to handle these messy things of yours? Patch said, handing a scroll to his subordinates, whispering a few words, and then looking at Wuming, Okay, it's all taken care of.

It's so fast. Wuming exclaimed, Why are you so good at handling these things? How do you do it so quickly and in such an orderly manner?

Of course I have my own way. Patch didn't bother to say, I've finished dealing with the caravan, I'm leaving -

Wuming picked up Patch:

It just so happens that I have to deal with a large amount of property. Please come with me. You will be used for the subsequent distribution.

Patch was a little reluctant to go: I want to go back to the volcano. Aren't you afraid that I will steal your large fortune again?

Aren't you afraid that when you return to the volcano, you will find that the volcano has become a large piece of my property? Wuming said.

Patch became honest and followed Wuming obediently.

As he walked, he had to endure the scolding from Wu Minghate: This is obviously your store, why are you so careless?

How dare you blame me, the shopkeeper? Who doesn't stay at the store all day? Pachi finally couldn't bear it anymore, broke out in silence, and started fighting with Wuming.

They were fighting each other while advancing, twisting and rolling on the ground at a speed that was not even inferior to that of Melina riding Torette.

Melina desperately found that even if she asked Torrett to run quickly, she could not get rid of these two childish ghosts with incredible strength.

Even if Torrett had already eliminated the two of them, one of them would hit the front like a cannonball in a moment, and the other would hit them again like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Melina rode Torret, as if she was in a hail of bullets, and was attacking the city under the fire of trebuchets.

No one on the sidelines would have imagined that she and this rain of bullets were in the same group.

They fought like this all the way to the vicinity of Kalia's study. The two finally stopped. They arranged their clothes with bruises and bruises, applied wound medicine to themselves, and glared at each other fiercely.

How is Euratragus? Wuming asked.

We've settled in, and there's no shortage of healing supplies. Patch said, So many perfumers have found new patients to study, so grab Yula.

Wuming nodded and was about to go to the study room when he heard a cry for help.

Did you hear the cry for help? Wuming asked Patch.

Patch confirmed Wuming’s feeling:

It still sounds familiar.

It did sound familiar, it was Alexander's voice.

When the nameless Patch followed the sound, he saw half of Alexander's body stuck in a hole.

It feels so familiar, have you seen it before? Wuming thought about it.

In the forest of Yatan. Patch said.

Why are you stuck again? Wuming stepped forward and wanted to take Alexander out, Shouldn't you go to the academy?

Alexander was quite embarrassed:

Oh, when I came to the Lake District, I couldn't help but want to take a look here, but when I came back to my senses, I was stuck.

Wuming grabbed Alexander's hand hard, but it didn't seem to move.

Patch, come help. Wuming called to Patch.

The two men each had an arm, but they still did not pull Alexander up.

It's weird, the jam is so tight? Wuming patted the place where the bottom of Alexander's pot touched the ground.

The moist soil of the Lake District is indeed very absorbent, perfectly fitting the curves of Alexander.

I feel like my lower body is stuck with something. Alexander said, Can you find something to help me slide out? It would be great if it could make me slippery...

Do you have an oil can? Patch asked.

There are only essential oils for barbecue. Wuming said, It's expensive, how can it be used like that.

There was no use of brute force, and there was no need to think about props. Wuming thought for a while, and prepared to dig out the soil at the bottom of Alexander while slowly roasting it, and dig it out directly for him.

Wuming felt that as long as the soil no longer adhered so closely to Alexander's smooth body, it would not have such strong suction.

But when Wuming dug up a lot of soil and tried to pull Alexander out, he still couldn't pull it out.

It doesn't make sense, what could get stuck...

Wuming was confused and had to continue digging.

Wuming dug all the way to Alexander's feet, and finally saw what was blocking Alexander's feet——

A huge bear trap bit Alexander's foot.

The bear trap has an iron chain connected to the back, which seems to be connected to something deeper.

Alexander's body was extremely hard, and the sharp teeth of the bear trap were nailed to the surface of his legs, not even breaking the skin.

Although Alexander was not injured, some of the saw teeth got stuck in some gaps in his legs, biting him tightly and preventing him from leaving.

Good guy, if you want to pull it open directly, you can't do it without applying some oil. Wuming said and pulled the trap open.

Alexander regained his freedom and climbed out of the pit, thanking Patch and Wuming for saving him again.

Why is there a bear trap here? Patch asked.

Is there an Orion? Alexander guessed.

Patch looked at the bear trap buried under the pit:

Did you make this round pit?

Alexander thought for a while:

It doesn't seem to be the case. I just walk normally. It shouldn't cause such a big hole.

What do you think? Wuming asked Patch.

Deliberately. Patch said, This kind of trap is specially designed for pots. It can make pots trapped in the ground like carrots and be slaughtered by others.

Someone ambushed Alexander? Wuming said, Didn't Alexander want to come here on a temporary basis? How could he ambush him in advance?

Who knows, let's see why this pot wants to come here. Patch said, looking at Alexander with Wuming.

I'm ashamed. Alexander scratched his head, This is my hometown.
