Chapter Eighty-Six: A Thick Burial
The sword idiot quickly crossed the Thundering City and directly entered the Thundering Sect.
No one dared to walk on the streets along the way of Thundering City, so Thundering City would be relatively deserted during this time, and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were distributed on various streets one by one to maintain order, in case someone would take advantage of the chaos to rob.
The sword idiot entered the Thundering Sect and ran directly to the depths of the Thundering Sect.
When they came to the main hall, the two old men still had their eyes closed.
The sword idiot walked into the door, and the door quietly opened, and he entered it with a brush.
There are only two figures inside, one is the old sect master, the other is the sect master, both of them are the two people with the highest voice in the Thunder Sect, not including the Supreme Elder, he almost doesn't care about the affairs of the sect.
The sword idiot saluted the disciple and said respectfully: "The disciple has seen the old sect master, the sect master. ”
"Where's your master?"
The old sect master asked directly to the point.
"He went to the Heavenly Star Sect by himself. The sword idiot replied honestly, hearing this, the two frowned slightly, and the sect master was puzzled: "Didn't you go with him to block the door, why didn't you go when he went to the Heavenly Star Sect?"
The sword idiot had no choice but to tell them everything that happened to the Earth Netherworld Sect and the Heavenly Star Sect, but he didn't say anything about the tokens left by the elders on the way to the Heavenly Star Sect, after all, his master's face also changed subtly at that time, so he still chose to hide it and wait until his master came back to see what he said.
After a long time, the two showed solemn expressions.
"It seems that the Heavenly Star Sect doesn't want you to grow up. ”
"Well, you've had a hard time coming back from a hike this month. "The old sect master is very concerned, and he also knows very well that at such a distance, it is unrealistic to want to step back into the void, and stepping into the void also requires vitality and urging.
If you don't fly back in the air for a month, then you have to pass through the mountains, and the brute beasts in it, countless brute beasts, and it is even more dangerous than this siege.
The sword idiot smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's not hard, I still got experience on the way back, just enough to hone my swordsmanship." ”
This is not blowing, he doesn't know how many brute beasts he has killed, and his swordsmanship will naturally be improved.
"You're back to the sect next, do you have any plans?"
The old sect master asked.
“emmm......”
The sword idiot was silent for a while, he remembered the alchemy technique that the evil heaven had shown him a long time ago, and he had an ideal of becoming a pharmacist, and after a moment he spoke: "I want to go to the Sixth Elder and learn to identify medicinal herbs. ”
"Do you want to learn alchemy?" the old sect master looked at him in surprise, although the alchemist is popular, it is very difficult to become an alchemist, after all, this requires talent, but is talent important to a sword idiot?
The old sect master shook his head secretly, talent is not a matter for sword idiots at all.
The sword idiot bowed slightly.
After being silent for a while, he said: "Okay, you can go to the Sixth Elder to learn alchemy, and when you are interested, you can go to the Fourth Elder to see the refining weapon, but let me remind you that as we martial artists, our energy is limited, and we can't be insatiable, otherwise we will not be refined in the end, and we will not become a climate." ”
The sword idiot listened carefully to the teachings of the old sect master, after all, the elders are all from the past and have experience, but experience will change with the changes of the times, you can only listen, as for what to do, it depends on your own ability.
"I'm cultivating formations, the last formation you broke through was laid by me, that set of formations is very strong, I got it by accident, so if you are interested in formations, you can come and ask me, I can explain some formations, so as not to be overwhelmed in the future. ”
"The disciple understands. The sword idiot said gratefully, and then the sword idiot left silently without any incident.
The sword idiot did not rush to find the six elders, but came to the outer gate. At this time, the outer gate was very busy, and all the deacons and elders and others went out together to appease those disciples who died in the war.
Standing in the distance, he could see neatly arranged corpses under the mountain gate, all covered with white cloths, hundreds of corpses were desolate, and there was a steady stream of corpses brought back.
It's painful.
It's bleak.
They originally lived very well in the Thundering Sect, although there was competition and fighting, but there was no danger to their lives, and their lives were guaranteed to a certain extent, but they did not flinch when the Thundering City was in crisis, maybe the punishment for retreating was too severe, and they could only go hard.
But, so what.
They still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
They still put their lives on the other side,
They put the common people of a big city first,
They used their bodies to block the attacking brute beasts, so that the unarmed and uncultivated people in the city could be safeguarded and their lives guaranteed.
They're good!
They are heroes!
The sword idiot looked at the hundreds of corpses seriously, at this time Li Hua came over, he gained a lot in this battle, and it was also one of the most fierce enemies, a large gap was exposed on his left arm, which was bitten by the brute beast.
But at this time, he did not frown, but looked at the hundreds of corpses very calmly.
"Are you alright?" the sword idiot couldn't help but ask when he saw the horrific wound.
Li Hua shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, but a hint of trembling could be heard in his calm voice, and said: "Why do you say that human life is so cheap, if a person says no, it will be gone." ”
Alas......
The sword idiot couldn't bear it, and gently patted the shoulder of his right hand, he knew that Li Hua had many friends who died in that war, but this was fate, and he didn't know how to comfort him.
It's as if he himself is the same, in the face of thousands of corpses, what he is doing now cannot bring the dead back to life.
The Eight Elders came.
Quietly came behind them, and the voice of vicissitudes of life slowly sounded: "When you embark on the path of cultivation, it means that you cannot be like mortals, you have a longer life than them, but it is easier to die, as long as you have the heart to fight, then you have one foot on the edge of death." ”
The elder's words touched a certain heartstring of the sword idiot, and Li Hua turned his head to look at the elder, his face a little pale.
"Let's move to the back mountain and be buried, they are all good children of the Thundering Sect. ”
The back mountain was originally planted with trees and orchards, but on this day it was all razed, and the bare mountain, the sword idiot and all the disciples put the corpses of these outer and inner disciples into the mound that had been dug up.
Fill it in and erect a tombstone in front of the graves of many disciples.
Tomb of the Warriors!
They are indeed warriors, they do not flinch on the edge of life and death, do not give up, and do their best to kill the enemy, this is not what warriors are, they must be buried thickly.
"Ninth Elder, have all the pensions been distributed to the deceased family members?"
The Sect Master's voice was full of majesty, and the Ninth Elder replied, "All of them have been distributed, the death toll is one thousand three hundred and forty-two, the total number of families is one thousand three hundred and twenty-seven, and the other ten are from five families, and five are orphans.
A total of 1,000,000 gold coins were issued to each family, and each family was issued a permanent token, which could be used as a token for them to directly enter the outer gate to cultivate if they still had children, and enjoyed a sixth-level residence, with the privilege of not being able to fight for a place to live for two years;
As for the other five orphans, I took it upon myself to use their pensions to build an orphanage, to house orphaned beggars who had been exiled in the Thundering City, and to arrange for them to teach and write. ”
Hearing this, the sect master nodded and said, "Good job, inform the city lord of Thundering City and let him pacify the people." ”
The Nine Elders said yes.
......
Many, finally everything was arranged and finished.
The sword idiot was tired, and after he went back, he closed his door to heal his wounds and sparred with Zheng Xiong, but the wound on his chest was not treated, but the bleeding was stopped.
A few days passed, the sword idiot returned to his spirits, he was full of energy, and he came to the place where the six elders were located, he came to a large field, the fields were planted with flowers and plants, and some flowers wafted with a burst of fragrance, which would make people intoxicated unconsciously.
There are many disciples in several acres of fields, to be precise, boys, miscellaneous disciples, who really take weeds and water flowers and plants seriously.
Seeing the sword idiot passing by, they were slightly stunned, and then continued to work.
He passed another pond, and when he looked down into the river, he could vaguely see several large fish swimming in it.
The sword idiot quickened his pace, and soon came to a house, and said respectfully, "Disciple Sword Idiot asks to see the six elders. The boy in front of the door saw that the sword idiot had something to see, so he had to go in and report it.
The miscellaneous disciples are the lowest-level disciples of the sect, and all the time is spent serving the elders, as for serving the disciples, it is impossible, at least in the Thundering Sect.
After a few breaths, the miscellaneous disciple came out, stood aside respectfully, and with a gesture of his hand, he said, "Senior brother, please." "I'm still bent over when I speak.
The sword idiot smiled politely, and then walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, it was filled with the smell of danxiang, and he looked around, and there were various stoves on the walls on both sides, which seemed to be used for alchemy.
"Ahem......"
A cough sounded, and the sword idiot retracted his thoughts, and looked inside, an old man was sitting there looking at him with a smile on his face.
The sword idiot came to the six elders and said respectfully, "The disciple has seen the six elders. ”
"No need to be polite, you came to me for the sake of the elixir?" The sixth elder guessed that he was an alchemist, and many elders would come to him to ask for the elixir, which was normal, so he also thought that the sword idiot was also here to ask for the elixir.
"It's not. ”
“......”
The six elders were stunned and dumbfounded.
It's a slap in the face at the speed of light.
"Ahem...... Sixth Elder cleared his throat and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
"Learn. ”
The Sixth Elder's eyes froze, and his voice was a little serious, "You're here to apprentice?" No, you're here to learn alchemy. It didn't take long for him to think of the key.
"Well, sort of. ”
"What is it called, yes, no, no, boy, don't give me a dumb riddle here, the old man will climb out for you later." The six elders looked at him unkindly, and the miscellaneous disciples who had been in the back trembled, silently mourning this senior brother, is the elder of the alchemist so offended, be careful not to provide you with pills!
