Chapter 515: Mass Graves Are Huge
The nearest border town is not peaceful either.
Probably the elites of the ten major sects and major families have all gathered here. Because of the needs of the war, young, old, and independent cultivators are all here. All the cultivators in Tongzhou who have some combat power are here.
Coupled with the innate demon clan led by the Demon King, the entire border city is filled with human, demonic, and human-demon aura.
When there are many people, it becomes lively, and when it is lively, people love to chat.
Especially in the wounded tent.
You injured your arm and I injured my leg, and there were dozens of bloody holes on our bodies.
Everyone is idle anyway, awake anyway, and in pain anyway. With nothing to do, they can only talk.
As they chatted, they inevitably talked about the hottest topic in Border City recently:
"...I heard that the pagoda in our city is about to ascend."
"Hey! I heard about it too. I went to take a look a few days ago when the legs were still there!"
"How is it? Is it really going to ascend? This is the first natural spiritual creature in our cultivation world to show signs of ascension."
"I think it's quite real. When I went there, the mountain had already been blocked by the ten major sects. It seemed that Pavilion Master Qu of Xuantian Pavilion had set up a spirit gathering array inside. The spiritual energy around it was simply amazing!"
"Ascension is good... Ascension is good too, but I wonder if the Human Tower Spirit will still be willing to help after ascending... This battle is really, really exhausting, and I don't know if we can win in the end..."
"What depressing things are you saying! How can I not win? Did I break both of my arms for nothing?!"
"Why are you so anxious? This is something that has never been decided."
"Conclusion? You're a damn fool! You fight for the loss instead of the victory. If everyone behaves like you, I'll definitely lose my legs! I might as well kick you to death with these two legs first!"
"Hey, hey, stop arguing, stop arguing! Hey! And don't fight!!"
“…”
War is always like this.
Although the surface seems calm, people's emotions are always on a taut string. This string is neither too high nor too low, and falls neither too lightly nor too heavily on a crucial position in the heart. Any slight disturbance will touch the sensitive nerves.
Large-scale, widespread deaths or injuries of the same kind always become the most terrifying nightmare for anyone who sees it.
Nan Qiao, who was in charge of the patients in this tent, soon heard the noise.
Nan Qiao had no choice but to quickly put down the medicine in his hand, get up and go into the tent.
Nan Qiao's eyes were dark, but his voice still sounded full of energy: "What are you doing? Huh? What are you doing? Stop it! Put down the crutches in your hands!"
How dare you take action?!
Nan Qiao's eyes were about to burst into flames:
"If you're good at fighting, then recover from your injuries and continue fighting on the battlefield! Why are you trying to have a big brawl between the crippled, the blind, and the lame here?! Anyone who dares to make a move will get out right now!"
She is no longer the little girl who used to be a little shy when speaking.
Nan Qiao now has the most important blessing of age for doctors. He has become a highly respected "old" medical practitioner, and his words carry a lot of weight.
Those who could come to the tent she was in charge of for treatment were all seriously injured. Being kicked out at this time was no different from sending them to death.
then.
After Nan Qiao's shout, the commotion in the tent quickly subsided spontaneously.
Someone put away his cane in a huff, "Fairy Nan Qiao...we were just chatting..."
Nan Qiao glared at him, looking like a really bad-tempered medical practitioner: "What kind of conversation are you having? Why are you fighting while chatting?!"
"No action was taken, no, no, we were just chatting casually, and happened to talk about the pagoda, so we are no longer arguing about whether this vision is a breakthrough or not. It's just that our expressions are a bit excited." Someone said.
Those who were using crutches and holding medicine bowls immediately agreed.
joke.
They don’t want to be driven out by Nan Qiao and wait for death!
Nan Qiao looked around at everyone, not saying whether he believed it or not. He just said coldly, "Take good care of your injuries and don't cause any more trouble, otherwise—"
She paused and swallowed her threatening words.
But everyone felt what Nan Qiao had not said yet, and they really became honest.
Nan Qiao didn't scare them either.
Medical resources are limited, especially in wartime. There is a limit to how many people a medical practitioner can save. She doesn't want to waste her limited energy and time on hopeless fools.
Finish this dispute.
Nan Qiao rechecked the wounds of the people in the tent, changing the dressings of those who needed them and sending those who needed to be sent to the lightly wounded camp. Finally, Nan Qiao called over her junior sister to help carry away two quiet people in the corner.
The wounded camp returned to peace.
Nan Qiao is still very busy.
Report it, record it in a register, determine your hometown, and dispose of your body according to your wishes, such as cremation, burial, or returning it to your hometown wrapped in cloth...
Today, the two chose burial.
Nan Qiao then sent people to send the bodies to the newly built mass grave in the border town so that they could be buried in peace.
After that, she quietly returned to the medicine furnace and continued doing what she was supposed to do.
When she was decocting the medicine, it was one of the few times in the day when Nan Qiao could free her mind. Whenever this happened, Nan Qiao would just close her eyes and rest, not thinking about anything, after all, thinking was very strenuous.
But today is strange.
Nan Qiao couldn't empty herself. She began to think about many things, many people, many people she had met, laughed with, and talked with, but now she could never see again.
The mass grave is huge.
But it also filled up one third.
Isn’t it not a lot? It’s obviously a lot, and there will be more in the future.
In war, there will always be casualties.
Even if Master and Senior Sister used the Fengchun Technique to save people from the moment they opened their eyes to the moment they closed them, the only people they could save were those who were lucky enough to be picked up by their teammates in the chaotic battlefield.
More people, more people died at that moment.
How to save.
Nan Qiao asked herself how to save them.
This is destined to be a question that has no answer. Fortunately, Nan Qiao did not insist on getting a solution.
As Nan Qiao thought about it, she couldn't help but think of the pagoda they had just mentioned.
Nan Qiao is a legitimate descendant of the ten major clans, and she is much more informed than the injured.
According to her senior sister.
The pagoda does seem to be showing signs of ascending. In the past two days, the thunderclouds on top of the pagoda have not concealed their existence at all. A dark mass has suddenly enveloped the green hills, and the flashing lightning has only been floating around above the top of the pagoda.
The thunder tribulation can't wait.
There was no movement at all in the pagoda.
Qu Woyun, who was setting up the formation, could feel that the spiritual energy gathered by the spirit gathering formation had indeed been absorbed by the pagoda. Logically speaking, the spiritual energy had been absorbed for more than a month and should have been accumulated enough, but the pagoda seemed to be a little too patient.
Alas, it doesn't fly ~
It's amazing.
No one expected that Fututa was so patient.
I admire you.
“Gudong…Gudong…”
The boiling sound in the stove drew Nan Qiao's attention back. She came back to her senses and skillfully took the bowl, wanting to open the lid and put the food in.
The moment the furnace lid is opened.
"boom!!!"
It was a deafening thunder that resounded through the sky.
Lightning flashed through the clouds like a roaring dragon, piercing the dark night sky and instantly illuminating the entire cultivation world.
This sound and this ray of light seemed to indicate the beginning of something whose ending was currently unknown.
