Chapter 59: Human Nature
Hearing Wu Ping's words, An Dong's heart seemed to have been hit hard.
The greedy nature of human beings, as the other side says, is a fact that no one can change.
As long as human beings exist, human existence cannot be avoided:
Arrogant attitude, jealousy, angry emotions, lazy mentality, greedy desires, gluttonous character, and indulgence.
For thousands of years, the wise men of mankind have been searching for ways to change human nature, but none of them have succeeded.
Suffice it to say that human nature is deeply ingrained and cannot be eliminated at all.
Ou Jincheng and Wu Ping fought for this, and it was not until they were in their late teens that they suddenly realized that they had embarked on a difficult and rugged road.
After seeing the ugliness of human beings, the two of them felt that they were powerless to return to heaven, so they were unwilling to give up their ideals.
Later, Ou Jincheng began to gradually change his thinking and decided to reclaim his rights, but he found that many people took advantage of the situation and hollowed himself out.
After learning from the pain, Ou Jincheng decided to take back the rights of the dungeon and pass it on to Ou Yanyu, so that she could lead the people to continue the battle against the mechanical lifeforms.
If we can't achieve the ideal world, then we should settle for the next best thing, and at the very least, we should give the people a relatively equal and free life.
This is what Ou Jincheng and Wu Ping think.
However, to do this, it is not only difficult and difficult!
It is indeed difficult for a girl like Ou Yanyu to do it. Yesterday's kidnapping is proof enough.
Therefore, Ou Jincheng and Wu Ping thought of An Dong.
After a short discussion, they made a final decision.
"You're still young, and it stands to reason that these issues shouldn't be for you to think about, but Brother Jincheng and I are running out of time, and we have to find a successor for this burden. So, he discussed it with me and decided that you should pick up this burden and lead the people of the dungeon to achieve our ultimate goal, I don't know if you are willing? ”
Wu Ping looked at An Dong, his eyes full of expectation.
"Grandpa Wu, this matter is very important, I don't dare to make a decision easily, can you let me think about it?"
An Dong never dreamed that Wu Ping would make such a request.
The stakes were so high that for a while, he couldn't give an answer.
"No hurry, I didn't expect you to give me an answer today. I'll give you two years to answer me on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony. Hopefully, you won't let me down. ”
Wu Ping twisted his beard in his hand and said to An Dong with a smile.
"Grandpa Wu, did you ask me to come over today just for this matter?"
"Of course not, this matter was decided on a completely ad hoc basis. Actually, I called you here to ask you for something. Haha, that's a good thing! ”
As he spoke, Wu Ping got up and beckoned An Dong to follow him into the house.
When it is said to be entering the house, it is actually entering the hole.
It is a cave that has been artificially carved out of the corner of the stone wall, and it looks like a cave.
After opening the door and entering the cave, An Dong realized how simple Wu Ping's life was.
Except for a few items that are necessary for life, the most common thing here is books, piles of books.
An Dong has liked to read since he was a child, and he has basically read all the books in the Holy Armed Base.
Seeing so many books at once, An Dong really likes it, his eyes are shining, and his saliva is about to flow out.
"If you like it, just move it away, at my age, I don't need these anymore, and it's a waste to put it here."
Hearing Wu Ping's words, An Dong excitedly shouted: "Really? ”
"Haha, why are you lying to you? Alright, you can see these again when you have time, come with me! ”
Wu Ping laughed, he really liked the young man in front of him now. Giving him a dungeon and not giving him these books to make him happy, this shows that he and Ou Jincheng are not looking at the wrong person.
It's hard to find a young man like him these days!
With that, Wu Ping walked to the innermost part of the room, and stopped in front of a stone wall as smooth as a mirror.
An Dong followed Wu Ping and also stopped.
"Any idea what's behind this?"
Wu Ping gently patted the stone wall a few times with his hand, and then turned around and asked An Dong to arrive.
An Dong also learned from Wu Ping and tapped the stone wall a few times, but he didn't find any abnormality, and the back of the stone wall didn't look empty.
I was very surprised and asked the other party: "Back?" What's behind this? ”
"This is the biggest secret of the dungeon, counting you, there are only three people in the entire dungeon. Ou Jincheng, me, and you! ”
An Dong almost couldn't stand on his feet, this is too shocking, right?
What's going on here? How does it feel a bit like a dying orphan?
doesn't look like it, although Wu Ping's age is not low, but his body is still very tough, and he has no intention of dying.
Besides, Tuo Gu, where did you come from?
Just when An Dong was thinking blindly, he saw Wu Ping reach out and take out a small pebble from his pocket, which was the size of a walnut.
After giving way, he threw the stone into a small hole next to the stone wall.
A "gurgling" sound was followed by a "kalala" sound. With the sound of kalala, An Dong felt that the ground trembled.
The stone wall in front of it slowly rose, revealing the scene hidden behind it.
It's a very narrow, narrow tunnel, and you can fit one person along.
As for where the tunnel leads, it is completely unclear.
"Come in with me!"
Wu Ping was the first to enter the tunnel, and An Dong followed him in.
After walking dozens of steps and turning two corners, the tunnel suddenly became wider.
Wu Ping picked up something in a stone tray next to him.
An Dong was sure that he had picked up the small pebble that he had just thrown into the small hole.
After putting away the pebbles, Wu Ping continued to move forward, and An Dong hurriedly followed behind him and walked forward.
In this way, they walked in the winding and rugged tunnel, and walked for about half an hour before they came to a spacious space.
"This is the only passage in the dungeon that can be accessed without leaving the castle barn. It was used thousands of years ago when the ancestors were digging dungeons. The only people who know this passage are the three of us. ”
Wu Ping pointed to the entrance of a dark tunnel in front of him and said to An Dong.
"Why do you want me to know this?" An Dong was puzzled, how could such a secret be told to him so easily?
Wu Ping said to him with some melancholy: "If, I mean if, if there is a day when the dungeon can't be saved, Ou Jincheng and I both hope that you can leave with Yan Yu." ”
"Is something big going to happen in the dungeon?"
Hearing this, An Dong's heart could no longer be calm, he had a very bad premonition, such a premonition, he had before the Divine Armed Base was captured.
"Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't, who knows? Anyway, you just need to remember one thing, that is: no matter what happens in the future, when it is irreparable, you must not be rash, take Yan Yu away quickly, and leave nothing else, can you do this? ”
As he spoke, Wu Ping took out the small pebble in his pocket and handed it to An Dong.
After hesitating for a moment, An Dong finally reached out and took the stone, and then said, "It can be done!" ”
"Alright, let's go back."
It was Wu Ping who went first, and An Dong followed him.
On the way back, An Dong kept playing with the small pebble in his hand.
It looks like a small pebble with a small volume, but it is surprisingly heavy. After starting, An Dong found that the surface of the stone looked extremely smooth, but in fact, it was carved with extremely special patterns.
An Dong couldn't recognize what kind of pattern was carved on the surface of the stone.
However, the pattern looks familiar, and it has an inexplicable affinity for him. It seems that he has seen this pattern before, and it is still very familiar.
But Andong was sure that he had never seen this pattern before.
Soon, Wu Ping returned to his room with An Dong, and the stone wall slowly fell as if nothing had happened.
"Wait a minute, I've got something."
Wu Ping talked to An Dong while flipping through the somewhat messy books in the room.
"Where did you put it?"
Wu Ping rummaged for a long time, but he didn't find what he was looking for, so he stood there in a daze, trying to recall.
"Grandpa Wu, what are you looking for?"
"A box can be this big." Wu Ping gestured with his hand to the size of the box and said to An Dong.
"Wait a minute, I'll find it!"
As he spoke, Ann Dong began to move the pile of books leaning against the wall.
Soon, he turned over the box that Wu Ping was looking for.
Holding a wooden box with a simple style and a pitch-black color, An Dong asked, "Grandpa Wu, are you looking for this box?" ”
Seeing that the box that An Dong found was the one he was looking for, Wu Ping said happily: "Yes, yes!" That's it! ”
Taking over the wooden box sent by An Dong, Wu Ping dusted off the dust on it with his hands, and then pressed the switch to open the box.
Before Wu Ping opened the box, An Dong already knew what was inside. However, when Wu Ping opened the box and saw the contents inside, An Dong was still shocked.
A box full of Source Crystal Ore!
Moreover, they are all excellent source crystals!
The most important thing is that Wu Ping actually handed the box to himself.
"Grandpa Wu, this is ......"
"Take it, it's useless for me to keep it."
"This ......"
An Dong was speechless with joy, at this time, his mood was really indescribable.
It's just just in time!
An Dong was worried that there was no source crystal, but he didn't expect that Wu Ping would give him so many pieces.
"Your secret, I don't want to know. However, I advise you not to mention it to anyone. Even if it's the closest person, it's best not to mention it. ”
"I see, thank you!"
An Dong was very moved, this was the second person to say this to him in one day.
To be able to talk to him about this is to really treat him as a relative.
Although there is no blood relationship, it is better than many relatives who look like gods.
Wu Ping didn't speak, just waved his hand and asked An Dong to leave by himself.
Holding a box of source crystals, An Dong felt that his steps were much lighter, and he walked out of the steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and walked towards the city.
