Chapter 151 Funeral (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
The overcast sky hung low, and the dense black clouds obscured the sunlight above the nine heavens, and even the light that passed through the clouds and reached the ground seemed weak.
All of their colors had been completely scraped away by the clouds, and the badly injured light trudged its way to the earth, leaving the whole world in a state of darkness.
In the distance, the rolling mountains stalked silently in the waves of the grassland like giant beasts sleeping on the earth, revealing only the dark and oppressive backs.
With the breath of the giant beast, a cold autumn wind blew from the grassland to the Bitou Pass with an incomparable speed, lingering around the city wall, hitting the streets and alleys of the city, and taking away the last leaf of the trees on the school yard of the Bitou Pass.
The leaves slowly fell to the feet of a soldier with Xiao Xuan, and a white "big cat" stepped on the leaves with cat steps.
The "big cat" followed a not-so-burly, but unusually resolute figure in front of him, and only the pupils of the beast were betrayed by the fact that it was resisting the urge to run.
"Have you found the bones of all the soldiers?"
Wearing armor and looking at the countless clay pots on the school field with solemn eyes, Summer said to a soldier beside him.
"Report to General Xia, according to your orders, after cremating all the soldiers who died in the battle two days ago, put the ashes into a clay pot."
The soldier retreated half a step behind Xia and said: "After the last battle, not counting the seriously wounded, more than 6,000 people were killed in the battle, and the ashes of all the soldiers are here." ”
Hearing this, Summer stopped and turned his head to look at the soldier who reported to him, "That'...... What about the 500 rides that followed me? ”
"It's all there, and it's been placed at the forefront by General Gongboli."
"Really?" Looking at the countless clay pots placed on the high platform of the school field in the distance, Summer stared deeply at the five hundred clay pots in the front.
Looking at these unfamiliar clay pots, Summer knew that these vivid faces were still dangling back and forth in front of him a few days ago, and he was bitter because of the training he had formulated.
Now all that remains is the cold clay pot, where it is quietly placed.
Since yesterday summer when he was named a young man by Ying Zheng, Summer's status in the army is close to Meng Tian, which is even higher than the county guard Gong Boli who is on the side of the head.
After being rewarded, when he was drinking with all the soldiers, Xia suddenly felt as if something was missing, so he planned to call the five hundred horsemen he trained to come together.
But looking at the empty barracks, with a cool breeze blowing through the school grounds, the joy of being rewarded in the summer heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "one will make ten thousand bones dry" that he had heard.
Taking advantage of the slightly drunken mood, Xia walked into Gong Boli and others who were celebrating the victory of the Bitou Pass, and then put forward the idea of erecting a monument for the soldiers who died in the battle in front of everyone celebrating.
Meng Tian and the others naturally attached great importance to the proposal of the summer after the identity was established, and after hearing that the summer would use the "immortal method" to extradite these soldiers who died in battle into the immortal world, Meng Tian, Gong Boli and the others naturally raised their hands in favor.
And the other soldiers present were also excited, since Bai Bai learned that Xia Xia was a real immortal disciple, they didn't have a single doubt about what Xia said.
And I began to envy those soldiers who died in battle, after all, this is a transfer to the fairy world, and it is incomparable to the funeral given by Qin Shihuang Yingzheng.
Since ancient times, China's reverence for death has derived various funeral customs, and the solemnity of a person's funeral can judge how prominent the person was in his life.
Now this kind of direct introduction of all the souls of the dead into the immortal realm is something that the blessings that have been cultivated in eight lifetimes cannot do.
After seeing everyone's affirmative gaze, Xia was relieved that what he was going to do now was to make the living people affirm these dead soldiers and what they had done in front of them.
Instead of remembering a general who has won a battle, singing the name of one of them.
For this summer, an auspicious day of the zodiac was specially chosen, and a full five days of preparation were made, which happened to be the first seven days of these soldiers who died after that battle.
In order to plan this, Gong Boli encouraged the people and soldiers of the entire Bitou Pass to go to the grassland to collect the Qin soldiers who died in the battle and clean up the battlefield.
After five days of hard work and five days of burning day and night by everyone in the city, the bodies of these soldiers were finally cremated and the ashes were placed on the school grounds.
And the summer was not idle, he racked his brains to try his best to make the funeral of more than 6,000 soldiers grand.
Meng Tian sent people to various important passes on the border to inform the subordinates defending the city, and then each sent 3,000 elites to the Biaotou Pass to attend the funeral.
And today is gloomy, the entire Bitouguan is in a kind of silent solemnity, and the school field is neatly filled with countless soldiers in armor.
They looked at the neatly arranged 6,000 clay pots on the school competition platform with solemn expressions, and their eyes were extremely solemn.
After confirming the final steps with the soldier reporting to the side, Summer nodded, and then after seeing that the armor he was wearing was fine, he walked up to the competition platform with a solemn expression.
And Meng Tian, Gong Boli and the others had been waiting on it for a long time, and nodded when they saw the arrival of summer.
At the same time, Xia thought about the signal base station in Xianyang, and then started the live broadcast.
The huge light curtain that suddenly unfolded instantly covered the sky above Xianyang City, clearly transforming all the scenes at this moment to the people of Xianyang City.
For the sudden opening of the light curtain, the people of the entire Xianyang have begun to be surprised. But there were still rangers who heard the news, and the scribes and others were all shocked when they saw this.
When the people of Xianyang City saw the scene in the sky above their heads, they originally thought that there would be immortals or something, but this time they appeared with the solemn Great Qin soldiers standing in a straight line.
"What the hell is going on?"
In an instant, a huge doubt appeared in everyone's minds.
……
However, when everyone was puzzled, Summer stood on a high platform and pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and pointed at the newborn sun in the sky. A sword swing down.
"Let's go!"
With Summer's order, a hundred soldiers with a vegetarian on their left arm armor stepped out of the countless soldiers standing below.
Then he solemnly took over the ashes altar placed on the stage, held it in his arms, turned over the tall horse, and walked slowly towards the outside of the school field.
The soldiers were escorted to the gate of the school camp and watched the slow departure of the hundred people.
