Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

When Millicent heard that Wuming was also burdened with a curse, her own sadness weakened a little, and she became concerned:

Teacher, have you also been corrupted by corruption?

I am another kind of curse. Wuming said, The curse called immortality.

Isn't immortality a blessing? Millicent wondered.

Wuming smiled: My Immortal employees used to slap you when they heard this, but now, they may agree with you.

Millicent said: Teacher, are you a fader? Are you someone who was blessed to be resurrected, but you think this resurrection is a curse and want to die?

Millicent felt a little uneasy about this speculation.

Wuming said: It's not the same. In short, this immortal curse is a bit like a corruption disease. It can also make people lose their memory and make people crazy. It can also spread and harm others. And because it is immortal, you can't even commit suicide to avoid its spread. .”

After hearing Wuming's description, Millicent felt a sense of desolation and sadness.

She originally wanted to exhort Wuming to the beauty of life, but now she felt that it would be a relief for Wuming to die.

Millicent said in a low voice: It turns out that you are carrying a heavier curse than me...

She looked at Wuming and found that Wuming stretched his head and couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes as he looked at her.

Teacher? Millicent wondered.

Didn't I say before, can you be as wise as me? Wuming had a headache, I really don't want to admit that you are my student.

Wuming picked up the edge of the pot and approached Millicent:

Do you think I'm awesome?

Millicent nodded: It's amazing, the teacher is the most amazing person I have ever seen.

Then why can I grow into such a powerful person? Wuming asked again, I was once as weak as the Immortal.

Because of talent?

Because I'm immortal! Wuming pinched Millicent's face. It's precisely because of this curse that I can easily temper myself between life and death without having to worry about actually dying. Because I have this curse, I can always face myself. It’s the limit. It’s useless to blame others, just turn the curse into your own strength.”

Millicent was pinched in the face and said vaguely:

Teacher, do you want me to accept corruption?

Corruption? A blessing, a blessing. Wuming raised his index finger, finally revealing the ugly face of the businessman.

No. Millicent shrank into the pot.

Wuming picked up the edge of the pot, looked at the bubbling red soup, held up his face and muttered:

So you are lucky, you still have a choice. You are not weak yet.

Millicent revealed her head:

Is the Valkyrie also a weakling?

Of course she is weak. Wuming said, If she can defeat Latarn with only one hand and half a leg corroded by corruption, why does she need to release corruption?

Wuming picked up a pool of mycelium on the ground:

People who face a desperate situation and have only one choice are of course weak. They cannot make more choices and make the situation better. The ugly appearance of the Valkyrie and the corrupt family members struggling in the dust is evidence of their weakness. ——This is also the reason why they are so powerful and can thrive and multiply without being destroyed. The vitality of this hyphae is so tenacious because there is a strong will in it.

Millicent was dissatisfied:

It's not like she has no choice. She can still commit suicide, and I can sacrifice my life.

You can speak tough when you take off your clothes. Wuming said, How do you feel about suppressing corruption with flames?

The process was very difficult, but now it's very good. Millicent said, Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

Yes, it's very difficult. Wuming said, The most effective method now is still gold needles.

But there is only one golden needle, and everyone can use the flame. Millicent said.

It's not just one. Wuming said, O'Neill told me that it was made by a genius. That genius's name is Mikayla.

Valkyrie's brother... Although she had never heard of this name, the identity of this name automatically appeared in Millicent's mind.

The law of pure gold, the corrupt law that expels the Valkyrie at the legal level. Wuming held the broken golden needle, It is indeed a genius, very subtle.

By the way, you are suppressing the corrupted flame prayer now. According to the troll blacksmith, it originates from the giant's flame and is the law of the giant.

Wuming shook the golden needle: But anyway, it is not the golden law, nor is it the law that currently governs the border area. Do you know what this means?

What? Millicent was confused, Aren't we talking about curses and corruption?

Idiot. Wuming covered his face, It's too superficial...forget it, study hard first. Ignorance will bring weakness, and weakness will make you step into the tragic fate you fear.

Wuming looked like he didn't want to talk to Millicent anymore. He turned and left:

Come out after washing and go see the city lord.

Wuming closed the door and stood in front of it, lost in thought.

Curse... Wuming muttered.

Curses are often connected to secrets, and the effects they cause are all kinds of strange.

Immortality is Wuming's curse, and the goals Wuming once pursued will inevitably lead him to death and fall into eternal sleep.

Wuming recalled what an enemy once said to him, the person who stood in the way of his goal:

...You will be cursed again...

Can the power of a curse be so strong? Wuming touched his chin.

A big head came over along the eaves.

Troll Blacksmith said with a rough beard:

Your shield is repaired.

Here we come. Wuming responded and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

The nameless shield remains with Millicent as a protective barrier as she suppresses the corruption.

Therefore, it has also been eroded by the strongest corruption, and has been swallowed up into craters.

The mountain demon remelted the shield, used flames to cleanse the corruption, and created another shield.

The craftsmanship is good. Wuming looked at the brand new shield.

That's natural. I'm a mountain demon with the blood of a giant. The mountain demon shook the sparse hair on his body.

The hair is still a little red.

Does even the mountain monsters in Red Lion City have to dye their hair red? Wuming said.

Don't talk nonsense, my hair color is inherited from my ancestors. The mountain demon said, I am one of the few mountain demons who still have red hair. I am older than the red-maned knight.

What do you mean? Wuming asked.

Giants all have red hair, and mountain demons are the descendants of giants. Those with higher blood purity, and some of them will also have a little red hair. The mountain demon blacksmith explained to Wuming,

And the red-maned knight of the Red Lion follows Latarn, and Latarn's red hair is inherited from Radagon. It is said that Radagon's red hair appeared after being cursed by a giant. It is said that he was originally blond.

The Troll Blacksmith patted his chest: So I, the red-haired one, am older than the Red-maned Knight.

Another curse? Wuming said.

Yes. The mountain demon blacksmith said, The golden tree is an enemy of all forces, and has wiped out all enemies, exterminating, massacring, and cleaning, including of course the giants. The giants cursed the golden dynasty and prayed for the power to destroy the golden tree. Woolen cloth.

The Troll Demon Blacksmith muttered: Perhaps all the forces that were destroyed by the Golden Tree hate the Golden Tree. I heard that the merchants used curses to summon Bianhuo. If every force curses the Golden Tree, I don't know what will be summoned. The monster is coming.

Wuming glanced at him: You, a descendant of giants, are very enthusiastic about working for humans?

The fact that the golden tree wiped out all forces does not mean that those forces are just victims. The mountain demon said, We are the descendants of giants, so we know that the giants also have their own reasons for their demise. The mountain demon chose gold.

I understand this. Wuming smiled, threw a few rune blocks to the mountain demon, picked up his shield and left.

After taking the shield and going back, Wuming found that the cabin had been opened, and Millicent, who had cleaned up, was standing at the door, waiting for Wuming.
