Chapter 24: Ying Zheng: Is this the punishment for coming back to life and reversing yin and yang?
The explosion was so violent that the rising flames could be seen from more than ten miles away. None of the alchemists in the carriage were spared, and even the people nearby were affected and suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Under such circumstances, the convoy's return journey was naturally interrupted again.
"What are the casualties?"
"Fourteen people died, 18 were seriously injured, and 26 were slightly injured."
Casualties were fewer than expected.
"The 'Qi' collected from the fertilizer contains all five elements. If outsiders get too close, it will disrupt the balance of the five elements and affect the final product." The alchemist representative who escaped the disaster because he came to report the situation stuck his head out to explain.
"Balance of the Five Elements? A balance that will leave you with no corpses left?" Meng Yi always hated Taoist priests. Seeing the unnecessary casualties, he could no longer bear it and stabbed again.
The alchemist representative's face twitched, he looked at the immortal standing next to him, and resisted the urge to refute.
"Save people first."
Wei Shengxue walked over first. When he saw the scene, his face turned pale instantly and his throat felt uncomfortable.
The explosion was very violent. There were no broken limbs at the scene, only large pools of blood and some broken human tissue, indicating the accident that had just occurred. It was not much better than seeing the corpse directly.
Wei Shengxue quickly looked away and asked, "Where are the wounded?"
Based on the medical level demonstrated previously, it is questionable whether such a serious injury can be quickly stopped.
…
Qin Li was very efficient. By the time Wei Shengxue arrived, the wounded had already been placed in batches according to the severity of their injuries, but that was all they had done.
Bright red blood gushed out from the broken limbs. At this rate, he would die from excessive blood loss before the medicine was ready.
The doctors in the convoy shuttled back and forth, applying prepared hemostatic paste on the wounds.
However, medicines were limited, so for minor injuries, they simply burned wood ash instead.
Wei Shengxue looked at the rescue scene that looked like a murder and subconsciously took a step back.
Wang Ben escorted His Majesty over and closed his eyes slightly when he saw the injury for the first time.
There's no hope.
Even if he was saved from such injuries, he would soon die from fever and wound ulceration. Moreover, it was summer, the season most prone to wound ulceration.
Ying Zheng guessed the outcome from his silence, took a few steps forward, supported by his sword, and solemnly made an imperial promise: "Today's casualties will be compensated according to the standards for those killed in battle."
His voice was not loud, but it carried steadily throughout the resettlement area.
There were a few people who were particularly seriously injured. When they heard this, the breath they had been holding on to mostly dissipated. Their originally focused vision began to blur, and the muscles on their faces that were tense due to pain also relaxed, making them look like they were on the verge of death.
Wei Shengxue heard this and kicked the copper frame next to him hard.
Bang——!
There was a loud bang of metal colliding.
She roared, "Why are you dying?! He's not even dead yet! What the hell is the inheritance?"
A ruthless and even rude remark directly lit up everyone's eyes.
"Immortal!"
Wang Ben couldn't help but take a step forward.
Most of the injured Black Armored Guards were soldiers he trained. They could remain silent when there was no other way before, but now that there is a glimmer of hope, how can he not fight for them?
"Immortal! Immortal, save me! I made something very special when I was refining the elixir!" In the corner, an alchemist covered in blood struggled to raise his hand, blood still flowing out of his mouth, mixed with a few broken internal organs.
Wei Shengxue transferred a stream of spiritual energy to him through the air, then turned to look at Ying Zheng: "I need ten pieces of beautiful jade."
To stop bleeding and disinfect on such a large scale, one must use a formation.
[Host! Don't be impulsive!]
The injuries I suffered during the previous thunder tribulation have not yet fully healed!
"If I hadn't asked the alchemist to research fertilizers, there wouldn't be this disaster today."
[It was clearly their fault for injecting the methane gas into the alchemy furnace. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened. This has nothing to do with you!]
"Maybe." Wei Shengxue's face was indifferent. "I feel guilty."
After these words were spoken, the system didn't dare to persuade her anymore. If she wasn't allowed to do it, she was afraid that the accumulated guilt would turn into a demon in her heart.
In just a few words, the servant came back with ten pieces of beautiful jade.
There was no knife or pen for her to carve here, so she used her fingers as a knife, condensing a line of spiritual power to draw on the beautiful jade.
…
Wei Shengxue changed his hand gestures, making out one magic formula after another, condensing complex patterns in the air, which were then quickly injected into the beautiful jade placed at the base of the formation.
"Everyone else, please step back."
Everyone stood five feet away.
The formation outlined by spiritual power took shape between his ten fingers, "Combined!"
The formation made of beautiful jade was combined with the finger formation, rotating above the resettlement area, casting shimmering light and covering all the wounded.
The spiritual power dissipated bit by bit, and the injuries that had been suppressed immediately rebounded. The severe pain from the meridians made Wei Shengxue's fingers twitch in pain, but she still steadily transmitted spiritual power to the formation.
The formation rotated in circles, and the spiritual power maintained between the fingers was as even and steady as at the beginning.
The wounded's weak groans and cries of pain gradually subsided, and finally turned into slow, regular, long breaths.
——They fell asleep.
Everyone in Daqin:!!!
The wound has healed!
His breathing suddenly became heavy, and he subconsciously held it.
How is this miracle different from the art of bringing the dead back to life!
Ying Zheng stared at the rapidly healing wound, curled his five fingers and gripped the hilt of the sword, trying hard to control himself from losing his composure.
The system transferred spiritual fluid from the space into her body while turning the scanning program to the maximum.
As soon as the last wounded soldier recovered, it immediately cried out in its sea of consciousness.
[That’s all, that’s all! ]
【Quickly finish the exercise!】
Wei Shengxue immediately changed his gestures, slowly dispersing the formation, and took the unused spiritual power back into his body, barely covering the broken meridians.
"Let's set up camp nearby today and set off again after we have rested. I would like to thank you for your help today. I have prepared a cup of wine as a thank you. Please don't refuse." Ying Zheng took a few steps, gave the order, and put his hand on Wei Shengxue's shoulder to provide her with some support.
Seeing His Majesty's abnormal behavior, his confidants remained calm and cooperated as usual, assigning each of them tasks and even transferring the wounded.
The accompanying palace maids set up a frame and built a semi-enclosed tent in the wilderness with silk.
As soon as the person walked out of the perception range, Wei Shengxue trembled, and a dizzy feeling of the world spinning around instantly swept over her body, as if she had stepped into a sea of clouds, and her legs, which could not stand on solid ground, also went weak.
"careful."
Ying Zheng reached out to support her falling body, his brows furrowed and worry in his eyes.
Wei Shengxue took some advantage of the situation and after a few breaths, she recovered a little and stepped back to sit cross-legged. A bright green light appeared from the grass and trees, gathering around her. Her eyelids were drooping, and her pale face showed obvious weakness.
Wei Shengxue immersed her mind in introspection, practicing her skills with all her strength, mobilizing her spiritual power to suppress her injuries. The system also released merit bit by bit to help her heal.
Ying Zheng was recalling what had just happened. He had an excellent memory and could almost replay it frame by frame like a video.
The miracle began, no, when the formation appeared, the immortal did not change, so it can be ruled out.
When the formation starts to work, everything is normal, so this problem is ruled out.
Even as the wounded recovered one after another, there was nothing...wrong!
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and recalled carefully.
The image in my mind stopped at a black-armored guard with a bloody abdomen. That was the moment!
The fingers in the corner of his vision trembled slightly, and the green light lingering between them flickered for a moment.
Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at the man whose face was still pale, with a complicated expression.
With such serious injuries, the person is doomed to die.
As the saying goes, the laws of nature are constant, and life and death have their own destiny.
Is this the punishment for bringing the dead back to life and reversing yin and yang?
The immortal's body emitted a fine green light...
Was the miracle that followed when we first met a blessing from the immortals, or a punishment for violating the rules like today?
"Wang Ben."
"I am here."
"From now on, please do not report any casualties to the Immortal."
Wang Ben subconsciously raised his eyes, then quickly lowered his head: "Yes."
