Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The black sun disappeared after turning into a bright ball of light. The crown of the golden tree also disappeared.

That leafy look, after lasting for thousands of years, turned into a veritable look of a polished commander.

It's hard to say which one is more despairing between this appearance and the previous appearance of the black sun in the sky, but the number of desperate golden people has increased dramatically.

Michaela pays close attention to the psychological state of people everywhere and finds that although they are desperate, few of them are mad anymore.

I don’t know whether it was really because of Chappoli’s death that the root cause of epilepsy was cut off, or because the previous black sun was such a heavy blow that after resting in a dream, my spirit became stronger.

Before the crowd seemed to collapse, Michaela turned her attention elsewhere.

For example, go to Wuming first.

Other big guys in the junction area also began to make preparations immediately, thinking about the impact of the golden tree being bald and the future path.

What did I say? There's no need to panic. Momochi said at the round table where the light had returned. Everything will be fine. The end will not come, and the border will always be in dispute.

Really? The subordinate was a little confused and touched his head, Then why are we all bald?

Baizhi was a little silent:

It's probably due to the influence of the tree. Over time, it will grow out.

On the snowy mountain, under the guidance of Michaela, the caravan members also found Wuming. Wuming was still standing on the stargazing ruins—the site that was now a complete ruin, looking up at the sky.

After seeing Wuming's figure, Millicent and others finally felt relieved.

Wuming was staring at the bald golden tree, looking a little worried.

Patch smiled: I'm afraid the Golden King City hates you madly, Godfrey is nearby.

There was an explosion in the distance where the snow mountains piled up, and then the snow mountains collapsed, and two strong men jumped out of the snow.

Ge Fulei roared happily and moved his shoulders: I killed forty-six, how many did you kill?

Forty-seven, Shatterstar Latarn said.

You stole too many of my heads. Godfrey glanced at him.

The key points of my moves and the key points of your moves are indeed taken advantage of by me. Latane was extremely humble in front of his idol.

Godfrey laughed and said:

It doesn't matter. If you lose this fight, you lose. You can be named Giant Killer after Broken Star.

While laughing, the two of them also noticed the disappearance of the golden crown, and their eyelids twitched twice.

Latarn took off, and Godfrey jumped. The two warriors showed their magical powers and arrived near the stargazing ruins from the depths of the snowy mountains.

Ge Fulei looked at the bald golden tree:

Fortunately, my wife is not at home.

After the battle, the warriors finally had time to review the drastic changes in the world that had occurred before.

Ge Fulei walked to Wuming:

You got into a big trouble this time.

What big disaster? What happened? Wuming pretended to look at the scenery in the distance - the golden tree with only a bachelor left, and started to act stupid.

Ge Fulei did not expose it. He had just finished a fight and put on his cape in a hearty mood:

We'll talk after you figure out the situation.

Wuming was already worried that a fight would break out. He was about to block and then shouted stop, calling for peace on the top of the snow mountain. He didn't expect Ge Fulei to be so open-minded.

Wuming pointed at Ge Fulei's retreating back and said to the employees:

This is the measure of a king. Look, we all have to learn from it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the employees below nodded, By the way, boss, Michaela just said, I promised to send out all your money.

Huh? Wuming subconsciously protected the money bag and looked at Mikaela who came with the employees with an evil look, What do you mean?

Use money to buy favor. Michaela spread her hands, her eyes wandering, It's also to save you.

Wuming was stunned: So now...I'm bankrupt?

The king's measure, the king's measure, let's all learn from it. Michaela reminded Wuming, for fear that he would go crazy again.

Wuming suddenly laughed:

When I went crazy before, could it be considered that I was an enemy of everyone, and everyone turned against me?

Before they give up on you, that is. Michaela said, What's wrong?

In this way, the prophecy can be considered fulfilled. Wuming threw the money bag to Patch, Let's spread all the money.

Prophecy? Michaela said, Do you believe in prophecies? What prophecies have you heard before?

What the old woman Jie Zhi said is that I will lose my fortune and betray my family. Wuming said, The latter has already been realized. The former... let me realize it myself.

It's not that serious. Michaela said, At present, it won't let you go bankrupt.

Wuming froze: This is not a good thing for me, I might as well stop thinking about it.

Michaela smiled: Why do you care so much about prophecies? Your destiny should be in your own hands.

Perhaps it's because my current achievements are the result of complying with the prophecies of fate. And Jie Zhi's predictions are indeed very accurate. Jie Zhi at the entrance of the college helped me a lot before, and he even said that I was an eternal champion. .”

Wuming said, still a little worried:

Before Chapolili died, he kept saying that I would melt down all living things.

Have you met Shapolili? Michaela was a little surprised.

I met him. He was a very stinky guy and I beat him to death. Wuming said.

That's interesting... Michaela mused, It's not that simple after all. But how did you kill Chapolili?

Use your hands. Wuming said.

With your hands? Michaela confirmed.

With my hands. Wuming confirmed, Occasionally I also used my feet and sword.

Michaela was in awe: Not only can you maintain your own consciousness, but you can also kill abstract concepts...

That guy was also talking about it, saying that he is an abstract concept, the incarnation of chaos, blah blah blah, it made my head spin. Wuming said.

Is it that simple? Michaela still didn't believe it, Have you done anything else before?

I was admiring the painting before, Wuming said, I felt like I could read the prophecy myself, but he interrupted me.

It's interesting... you can see virtual images in the chaos, so it's possible that the perspective has changed at that time... Michaela said, You said before that the interpreter said you were the eternal champion?

That's what I said. Do you know what it is? Wuming asked.

I have an impression. I'll go find Grandma Jie Zhi and ask. Michaela left first with strong curiosity, turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Michaela disappeared, Wuming turned around and found a large number of people gathered behind him.

In addition to Burke Millicent and other people who have been in the snowy mountains, there are also some people who have traveled thousands of miles to come here. Such as Burke, and even Caleb.

Didn't you leave? Wuming was surprised.

Jialie said: It's such a big thing, I can't rest assured. Besides, I have contributed a lot, so I think I can ask for another salary.

Okay, okay, everything about money is easy to talk about. Wuminghao laughed heartily, and there was a crown in his stomach. He felt extremely swollen now.

Millicent also rushed over and gave Wuming a hug.

They agreed to kill the bugs and then exchange greetings. Wuming didn't shirk anymore. He took the employees, set up a bonfire on the snowy mountain, and held a banquet.

I can come back, and I want to thank everyone. It was you who saved me. Wuming raised his wine glass high, with a clear yellow liquid sloshing in it, and bowed solemnly.

thank you all.

They were used to seeing Wuming being unformed, but now he was so serious. Everyone was a little uncomfortable with it, so they all responded with toasts, looking for some excuse to relieve the subtle embarrassment from being serious to a bit solemn.

Millicent didn't take it seriously either. In her opinion, saving the teacher was the right thing to do.

It's nothing, I saw the teacher's true face. Millicent said, In your dream, this is the best thank you gift.

In my dream? Wuming said, The person in the dream is not my true face.

Isn't it? Millicent was stunned, You don't have to be shy, it's just a little shriveled up. I've also seen many immortals...

I was like that before. Wuming waved his hand, But I have experienced a lot of things, and it should be different now. The look in the dream should be the one I am most familiar with, but I haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, right? I have no idea of ​​the new image.”

Burke also nodded: The real boss is not that good-looking.

Millicent twisted her head: Have you seen it?

Burke nodded.

Am I worse than a monkey...

What monkey? It's a demi-human, a demi-human. Burke said, Miss, you are very rude.

Everyone was laughing and making noise. During this period, Serui wanted to come over and report something, but Patch took him over. After hearing this, Serui was asked to leave.

Tonight's starry night was brighter than ever before, and people laughed and drank until the early hours of the morning before finally feeling tired and falling into a deep sleep again.

Only Se Lian habitually stayed up late, taking advantage of his youth and good health to tirelessly observe the stars in the sky. Look for the destiny of the stars that are obscured by the golden tree.

Wuming didn't sleep either. Although the banquet was hilarious, he couldn't ignore the damage and impact he had caused, which needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

He saw Se Lian standing on the snow, looking up at the stars, apologetically:

Sorry, I took down your observatory.

Se Lian shook his head: You gave me a bigger gift - the entire starry sky. Now that the golden tree is dim, the entire starry sky is brighter. All stargazers will thank you.

Then can I ask for payment from Kalia? Wuming was keenly aware that there was profit in this.

I don't know about the full moon. The academy probably woke up from the dream anyway. Se Lian smiled, But you should actually focus on another thing.

Did I cause damage? Wuming's shoulders slumped, I know, I was just about to deal with the caravan's affairs.

The caravan's affairs? I don't know, that's what Se Rui should be concerned about. Se Lian pointed to the sky, I'm talking about that.

Wuming looked in the direction of Se Lian's finger and was stunned.

As the crown of the golden tree disappears, the sky and the earth become much darker. In the distance, the sun that once disappeared can now be vaguely seen again.

Although it is much dimmer and no different from other stars, the position is indeed in that position.

Considering that the observatory is not in use yet, the sun has become relatively brighter.

It turns out it's not extinguished, Wuming said, it's just dimmed.

Se Lian looked at Wu Ming for a moment and said:

But it's brighter now.

I just feel a little sorry for the golden tree. Wuming sighed.

Is there anything I'm sorry for? Se Lian didn't care at all, and was even very happy, Without the golden tree, the stars will be more dazzling. What a death!

Wuming, of course, did not have a unique conflict of interest like Se Lian. He smiled bitterly and did not agree.

But why did the sun dim before? Wuming was curious.

I don't know. Se Lian was also confused and puzzled. Judging from the brightness comparison with other stars, it is indeed much dimmer. If it weren't for the fact that the position was exactly the same and it was bigger, I wouldn't have recognized it. .”

Wuming's knowledge of stargazing is very sparse. No matter how hard he thinks about it, he can't figure it out, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

Standing there, admiring the stars with Se Lian for a while, Wuming said goodbye and left.

He walked into a tent, where Paciserui, Galemikela and others were already sitting.

They are all the absolute top leaders in the caravan.

Okay, let's sort it out. What's the situation at the junction now?

Wuming opened his mouth and announced the start of the meeting.

Under the starry night, another shadow of Michaela was outside the college gate, in the temple of the old woman Jie Zhi, sitting on the wooden bed with the old woman Jie Zhi, quietly listening to what the old woman Jie Zhi was saying.

The eternal champions are strong men who are born in line with the times. said the old woman Jie Zhi. They have different shapes and even have different missions. But these missions all have one thing in common - to restore balance to the world. .”

Regaining balance... Michaela thought about the meaning of this word.

Once any force becomes extremely powerful, an eternal champion will emerge. The old woman said, In ancient times, when corruption was rampant, blind swordsmen would end the corrupt rule; in prehistory, when there was chaos, warriors from the highlands would stand up and fight. Come out and complete the unification.”

Sounds like a hero who brings order, Mikayla said.

No, no. The old woman shook her head, Whether it is Chaos or Order, as long as it becomes too strong, it will lead to the fate of being crushed by the Eternal Champion. From this perspective, maybe Lady Malika is also the same An eternal champion. It's a pity that I have never touched her hand...

The old woman Jie Zhi concluded:

The eternal champion is the force that maintains everything in the middle. Cold will become hot, and hot will become cold. Draw strength from chaos and crush chaos. Draw strength from order and destroy order.

Sure enough, it is also a concept-like existence... Michaela pondered,

The power to maintain the midpoint... No wonder. The opposite of love is indifference, and order will give birth to chaos. But the power to maintain the midpoint may be the nemesis of chaos. In other words... it is the destiny of chaos. die.

Michaela stood up and thanked the old woman who cut her fingers:

Mother-in-law, thank you for your knowledge. The old man's wisdom is indeed a treasure brought by time.

Oh, Lady Michaela, can I touch your hands? the old woman said, I haven't touched those legendary immature hands yet. Maybe you are also an eternal champion.

Sorry, I can't let you touch me now. Michaela's figure became illusory, And I will not be the eternal champion. Whether it is destroying order or tearing apart chaos, it is not my vision... …I hope to be inclusive of both.”

Michaela left her last words before leaving:

And I don't like listening to fate predictions. It's meaningless to listen to fate that can be changed. It would be too sad if it can't be changed.
