Chapter 1197: Farewell to the Beggar Gang
Xuan Bao knew that his words were not alarmist, the biggest difference between the spiritual cultivator and the martial artist's spiritual cultivation was here!
For martial artists, the disadvantage of unsuccessful promotion is nothing more than falling into the realm, and the biggest harm of going crazy is nothing more than becoming a madman, or being disabled.
However, for spiritual cultivators, once they fail to advance to the throne, they may fall into the Demon Path, go against the original cultivation spirit, and become a Demon King who is contrary to the righteous path!
Yan Wujian said such a thing because he knew that the only one who could really kill him was this little junior brother in front of him! Others either didn't have this ability, once they killed him without dying, it would trigger a backlash of his fighting intent, and when the time came, they would kill the other party!
Either they can't bear to do it, or they are the brothers who belong to the same group of true dragon warriors as themselves, and they want to kill a person who has grown up with them since they were children, they don't have that determination! Otherwise, they are not gods, but demon kings!
Only Xuan Bao can, has the ability to kill him, and can control his own mind, because he has always been, although this little junior brother is full of kindness on weekdays, but once he initiates a ruthless attack, he can also watch the blood flow like a river!
Xuan Bao smiled and shook his head, patted Yan Wujian on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, don't worry, you will neither die nor fall into the demon! Give me a little time, let me help you survive the tribulation safely, you will always be my Fourth Senior Brother, I will not watch you have an accident!"
The sky was already bright, and the fairy depression was free of the noise just now, and gradually quieted down. The smoke above the ditch is still filling, but it's not as thick as it was just now!
Compared with the previous water surface, the ditch water is now a little black, and it is very turbid, and there is a disgusting smell without approaching.
The corpses of at least thirty or forty thousand corpse soldiers had melted here, and the ditch water, which was originally only sixty percent full, was now almost overflowing!
From time to time, large bubbles appeared on the water surface, Xuanbao grabbed a handful of grass and threw it into the ditch water, watching the grass float on it for a while before slowly sinking, knowing that this ditch water is no different from the ones in front, a large amount of corpse water dissolves the toxicity here, and now even if someone goes down, it will not be burned!
Of course, no one here will go down, looking at nothing in the water, in fact, it is all fragments of flesh and blood corpses! Xuan Bao released the old blind man from the original realm, and when he saw the scene in front of him, even if he was not a person who had never seen the world, at this moment, he first covered his chest and lay on the ground and vomited for a long time before he could speak.
"If this water is to penetrate by itself, it will take about half a year to completely enter the ground! At the cost of at least a hundred years of effort, this place will become a small internal wasteland, and not a single grass will grow!" said the old blind man to Xuan Bao, wiping his mouth.
Xuan Bao frowned, this piece belongs to Fujing City in his plan, and he can let Lanyue City, Yucheng, and Huancheng all extend a part of it, but he didn't expect it to become, barren land!
Looking at Xuanbao's iron-blue face, the old blind man hurriedly explained: "But there are still so many corpses here, just enough to bury them on the spot, so that the toxicity of the poisonous water can be neutralized, and it should be turned into cultivated land within twenty or thirty years, and in another twenty years, there will be no problem with living people!"
In this environment, the requirements for living in the land are greater than those for planting crops, that is, they are afraid that the yin qi will be strong, and the role of the land will not be to raise people but to harm people!
You Yong also arrived with the main force of the mortal soldiers, and when he saw the level of tragedy on the battlefield, his eyes were red one by one. They didn't expect that the beggar brothers, who were only less than 20,000, were originally sent as scouts, would be able to stop the corpse soldiers four or five times more than them!
Although this battle ended with 50,000 heavenly soldiers, no one could but admit that it was the nearly 20,000 beggar brothers who really decided the victory!
Next to the Heavenly Soldiers, there was a group of people whose bodies had been covered in blood, and each of them had large and small wounds on their bodies, although they were extremely exhausted and their bodies were humble, but their eyes exuded a terrifying light!
There are only 6,000 people in this group, and they are inconspicuous between the heavenly soldiers and the mortal soldiers, but no one dares to underestimate them, because they are the biggest heroes of this battle, the ghost hand and his beggar brothers!
At this moment, there is a corpse in front of the ghost hand, it is the dead Zhao Scar! There is a one-armed man squatting next to him, slapping Zhao Scar's face with his hand, and crying out in his mouth: "You bastard! You should let me die! I am already abolished, I will die if I die, what are you saving me for? Old Scar, you are making Lao Tzu talk about you for the rest of his life! My good brother!"
The ghost hand also couldn't hold back his tears, but he didn't want to shed it in front of so many brothers, so he could only look up at the sky, which made the audience even more sad!
Of the 100,000 brothers, there are only 6,000 left! From Yucheng to Yandu, and then to Yushan, the ghost hand and the beggar brothers who have been attracted in the past three months have proved one thing, that is, men, even if they have not known each other for a long time, can still treat each other with all sincerity!
The friendship between men is sublimated in countless battles of life and death, from the indifference and withdrawal at the beginning, to the final life trust, this kind of relationship that is not a brother but is better than a brother seems to have no time to precipitate, it seems very superficial, but in fact it is unbreakable!
The soldiers didn't speak, and they all walked to the battlefield silently, separating the beggar disciples from the corpse soldiers. All they can do now is to use their own hands to dig a pit for the dead beggar brothers and bury them properly!
They can only use this method to express their respect for these beggar disciples in their hearts! In the time of the internal famine, these beggar disciples and mortal soldiers already had a brotherly relationship, remembering that just a few days ago, these beggar disciples were fighting side by side with them, but at this moment, they fell here forever, and everyone's hearts were really not good!
Xuanbao took the ghost hand and walked to the side and said to him: "Okay, then you don't go with me, go back to Jiangnan!"
Ghost Hand shook his head, and said to Xuanbao with a forced smile: "Brother, what am I going back for? The rest of these brothers are all in Jiangbei, and they won't leave! I know that my brother is kind, but they may not be able to get used to it!"
Think about it, although Jiangnan is stable, these beggar brothers who have left their hometowns may not be able to get used to life there, and it is not really good for them.
"Then what do you want? Anyway, you can't follow Xuanjun all the time, you can't cook!" This time Xuanbao was also ruthless. There are not so many 100,000 people in Jiangbei who have died, there are too many dead people this year, and this number has not stopped, and it is still increasing!
The more important thing than fighting a war is that Xuanbao must find out the essence of the Heaven Sealing Shield as soon as possible, otherwise so much death will rise, and sooner or later it will bring unimaginable consequences to the Heaven Sealing Shield!
Ghost Hand smiled, looked at Xuan Bao with an aggrieved face, and said, "Brother, you crossed the river and demolished the bridge, right?
"Yes, that's what it means!" Xuan Bao didn't shirk it, nodding and admitting to the ghost hand. No matter what he thought, he had to let them go, because it was too dangerous to follow the Xuan army, after all, they were a group of beggars, not real soldiers!
Maybe it's because of the small bean sprouts, so for beggars, Xuanbao has always had no hateful emotions, and even has some closeness. In addition, when they arrived in Nanping, they met ghost hands, and the people who helped Xuanjun the most were not those Jianghu martial arts people, but these beggars!
The rest of these people, even if they want to be officials, as long as the ghost hand speaks, Xuanbao can be satisfied! Such a large Central Plains is in ruins, and even the city has to be rebuilt, and there are a large number of vacancies in official positions, so it is better to use acquaintances than to use the living.
How could the ghost hand not know Xuanbao's intentions, so his eyes were full of gratitude, and he shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother, don't worry about us, we won't go back to Jiangnan, and we won't follow Xuanjun anymore, because there are only these people left, and it's not enough for people to fight, we will continue to go north!"
"Where do you want to go?" Xuan Bao looked at the ghost hand a little strangely, not understanding what kind of attention this guy was playing. As for his younger brother's ability, he knows very well that as long as there is a place of war, he can casually pull up an unofficial team, and his combat power is not low!
Ghost Hand smiled, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I'll go to Donggang, maybe I'll go all the way north!"
Xuanbao said with a straight face: "Don't mess around! There are only these brothers left, are you really ruthless to let them all die? You still have a restaurant in Nanping, don't be so homeless all day long!"
"Brother, I'm not messing around! Even if I go to Donggang, it's not to help the Huilong Army fight! The city is expanding over there, and some are places to employ people, not just battlefields! Not to mention that I don't necessarily go to Donggang, take a step at a time, who made us call Hanako, anyway, we are living a life that has no tomorrow today!"
As soon as I heard that they were going to Donggang to help build the city, Xuanbao didn't say anything, this is the most appropriate arrangement, I believe that these more than 6,000 people who have experienced the baptism of war, even if they arrive in Donggang, will not be buried, and anyone who walks down alive from the battlefield is a hero, and can make a difference in other aspects.
In the past, Elder Yun, an important minister of the beggar gang, once said to Xuan Bao that in a peaceful and prosperous world, no one wants to be a beggar, but if he has a little strength, he wants to support himself and be an ordinary person with income from his work!
Therefore, because of the Xuan Army, the beggar gang in Jiangnan has shrunk significantly, and Xuanbao has given them enough space to support themselves, and he is also happy that his brothers can live a life that is no longer lowly and humble, so he went to Jiangbei to develop.
"Look at it, one day, I will become a child king! Take Sheng'er and them and take care of all the homeless children! At that time, those who have the ability will not be beggars, and those children who are abandoned for various reasons will also have a carefree life!"
Xuan Bao also smiled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, but in the end he didn't ask him again about the topic of whether he could enter the temple or not, he knew that his younger brother had a heart in the rivers and lakes, and he had never dared to be interested in being an official!
It will take a day or two to deal with the battlefield of the Immortal Valley, and Xuanbao has temporarily returned to Lanyue City, firstly, to see off the ghost hand and the beggar brothers, and secondly, to set up a suitable yamen organ to make Lanyue City alive and not become a dead city, because this is an important town by the river!
