Chapter 653 Triumph
Under the night, the surviving soldiers flowed backwards like ebbing water.
The moonlight and flames brought some light to the earth and illuminated the corners.
After returning to the Xuandu camp, the elders of Xuandu Temple summoned Zhou Qing and others to announce something.
His expression is solemn and his tone is solemn.
"Everyone, this battle is over."
"The sacrifice of the barbarian Mogu generals, a master of the Biluo realm, was beheaded by Deputy Guanzhu Shen, and the leader of the Bloodfang generals, a master of the Tongtian realm, was killed King Cang Yin killed him, and the barbarians retreated. "
King Cang Yin, a prince of Da Qi, a master of heaven.
In Da Qi, anyone who is granted the title of king must be a master of the heavenly realm who is born in the Qi Bai clan, has royal blood, or is a person who is married to the Qi Bai clan and fully joins the royal family, and is absolutely bound to the royal family. One body.
"Starting tomorrow morning, we will arrange for you to return to the sect one after another."
Having said this, the elder showed a smile on his face.
"You are all heroes, heroes, you can have a good sleep tonight."
"Retreat."
"It's finally over."< br>
“…”
Sighs and whispers sounded out one after another. Although everyone was excited and excited because they had defeated the barbarians, they were more tired.
The elders of Xuanduguan didn’t say much, not wanting to disturb everyone’s rare time to truly relax.
"Huh..."
Zhou Qing let out a breath, nodded to Cao Yinyin and others, and then returned to his tent.
“Master, can we go back to Xuandu to watch?”
"Well, we will arrange to return to the mountain one by one later."
Although it is not clear why the top management of the human race concluded that the barbarians had retreated because the two heavenly realm masters had died.
But it’s not aimless, and it’s definitely not nonsense.
Although he was still in the frontline camp, Zhou Qing felt inexplicably much more relaxed.
Recalling everything that happened in the past two months, Zhou Qing only felt that this border was really not a good place, it was too torture, and the mental pressure was extremely heavy.
But it is indeed a good place to temper the "sword".
But any sword cannot be forged continuously and continuously, otherwise it will only have the opposite effect.
The sword is broken and the knife is broken.
Zhou Qing began to miss the peaceful environment on Kunlun Mountain. Only by experiencing such things can he realize how precious the days of quiet cultivation on Kunlun Mountain are.
Peace...
He glanced at An Lang and said:
"Have a good rest tonight and be ready to return to Xuandu to watch at any time."
"Yeah."
Speaking of which, An After Lang came to the front line, he didn't just stay in the back and practice the Wansha Soul Refining Technique.
That was the case at the beginning, but as she practiced this Taoism for more time, she gained a certain resistance to various evil forces. After her strength was not affected by the evil forces, she also went to the battlefield. Killed barbarians.
It can be considered that he has made contributions to the human race and made blood for the human race.
Tonight, the army camp was quieter than ever before, with less drills and less shadows of people.
Everyone on each side put down their heavy burdens just after the war and chose to truly relax and rest, hoping to erase all the fatigue and torture from this period of time.
Only a handful of soldiers and masters are still guarding and patrolling Tianmen Pass.
Early morning.
Elder Xuandu informed a group of disciples that they could return to the sect first, while the remaining disciples were to stay here and return to the mountain in batches later.
Such a decision can be regarded as a kind of defense against the barbarians, lest they suddenly attack back.
Although the probability is very small, you can never have 100% trust in the enemy.
Zhou Qing's name was not among the first batch of disciples to return to the mountain, so he could only wait.
So, after some sorting, a group of disciples and elders flew away on a flying artifact under the gaze of the rest of the Xuandu camp.
"Zhuge Yingyue, Zhou Qing..."
An elder announced many names, and the people who were read out were all still in the camp.
"You come with me."
After saying that, the elder took the lead and walked towards the border camp.
Zhou Qing and others followed. In the process, Zhou Qing had time to observe the other people who were called.
Most of them were true disciples, and Zhou Qing also had an impression of the few others who were not true disciples.
They are all people who have fought many battles in this war, killed many enemies, and made great achievements.
In the military camp, the names of those who have made outstanding contributions will always be spread, and Zhou Qing is naturally one of them, and he is also the focus.
After entering the border army camp and walking all the way, they came to a school field.
Before them, people had already arrived, including people from the military and people from other forces.
Xuanduguan and his party went to the front, and alongside them were the lieutenants of the army.
"What is this going to do?"
Someone asked in a whisper.
"It should be to ask people from the court what to say, maybe a reward."
After a while, several people walked into the school grounds, and then walked straight to the front door in front of Zhou Qing and the others. Position, relative to everyone.
After seeing these people, many people's expressions became more solemn.
These people are more or less known to each other and are familiar faces.
Either a senior member of the military or a senior member of the sect.
"I am Zhao Li, General Dingyuan of the Qi Dynasty."
The general looked at Zhou Qing and the others, his eyes were sharp but also gentle.
"On behalf of all the Daqi soldiers stationed in Hanzhou, I would like to thank everyone for their support and dedication in this war..."
He said all kinds of sincere words and praised everyone, including those from all parties who were not present. disciple.
This General Zhao also said that in recognition of their merits, the Daqi court would give them rewards, and everyone would be rewarded, including those who were not present.
Zhou Qing and the others actually came here because of their relatively outstanding achievements and became disciple representatives.
It turned out to be a commendation meeting...
Zhou Qing thought to himself and figured out the meaning of this event.
It’s very good. There are both material rewards and spiritual feedback. It will definitely leave a very good impression on everyone.
No matter what, when people outside the army come to support the border troops, they are risking their own lives.
It is appropriate to be commended and rewarded.
General Zhao made an impassioned speech and talked a lot. His cultivation level was above the Yin Shen True Blood Realm. Being able to talk so much to Zhou Qing and the others made people feel very close.
Finally, he also expressed that he welcomed each of them to join the army and would definitely give them the most generous treatment.
The army has always welcomed and valued disciples from all major forces. They are extremely outstanding talents.
If a Xuandu inner sect chooses to join the army after leaving Xuandu Temple, he will start as an officer directly.
Even Xuandu Zhenzhuan can join the army. Xuandu Temple does not prohibit it. After all, it is the state religion.
In the Daqi army, there are many people who were disciples of Xuandu and hold high positions.
After the commendation meeting was over and Zhou Qing and the others returned to the Xuandu camp, people from the army sent their rewards.
The things that everyone has, of course, cannot all be rare treasures, but some cultivation resources that can be used daily, but there are quite a lot of them.
This is an additional reward, and it will not consume their military achievements. All those who receive it have no fault or dislike.
Then the Xuandu camp became relaxed and everyone could move around freely. Xuandu Temple did not arrange any tasks.
Zhou Qing took An Lang to Tianmen Pass. The battlefield last night had been simply cleaned, at least the corpses were no longer visible.
The Tianmen is towering, the north is boundless grassland, and you can see the vast green.
Zhou Qing leaned on the stone wall with one hand and looked in the direction of the grassland. The barbarian camp had completely disappeared, which meant that they had truly withdrawn.
In the past days, if you looked at the grassland during the day, you would find a series of tents and dark clouds covering the sky.
Barbarians, invasion, war, killing, death...
Many scenes in the past two months flashed through Zhou Qing's mind, and he closed his eyes slightly.
What a formidable and damnable enemy. In the long history, it has invaded human territory countless times and caused the death of many human soldiers.
This war made Zhou Qing realize the cruelty and determination of the conflict between ethnic groups. If he could, if there was a chance in the future, what would he want to do in the future.
In ethnic war, there is no compromise or concession!
Zhou Qing did not leave the border battlefield until three days later. Among the disciples traveling with him were Cao Yinyin and others. They did not go back on the Hengyu ship. The war artifact still stood in the sky on the border.
The road back to the mountain is much slower than when we came.
When he came, Shen Yuanning was in charge, and he gave him artifacts of war, which was certainly not comparable to him at this time.
After returning to Xuandu Temple, an elder said to Zhou Qing and others:
“You guys have a good rest first, and after everyone returns from the border in two days, there will be a meeting in the temple. Calling you for a reward.”
“Let’s go home.”
Zhou Qing took out the spirit beast card and called Xiao Qi directly.
The little guy was left in Kunlun Mountain by him. When they met now, he was very noisy and kept throwing himself at him.
Zhou Qing smiled and stroked Xiaoqi's smooth feathers, then sat on it and flew back to Kunlun Mountain.
"Senior brother, you are back!"
While Zhou Qing was still in the sky, Yun Duo put his feet up and kept waving to him.
Others who stayed in Kunlun Mountain also stood outside waiting for him.
After landing, Zhou Qing smiled and said:
"I'm back, don't stand outside, everyone go up the mountain."
Everyone followed Zhou Qing up the mountain, Yun Duo said:
“A few days ago, some disciples came back from the border. We heard that the battle was won on the front line, and we have been thinking about when our senior brother will come back.”
In the past, she always called Zhou Qing by his first name, but in Xuandu Temple, she still followed the rules of Xuandu Temple.
It’s just a title anyway, it won’t affect their relationship.
"Victory..."
Zhou Qing repeated the word with emotion in his eyes and said nothing more.
This battle indeed repulsed the barbarians, and also shattered and thwarted the barbarians' conspiracy, allowing them to suffer the consequences of sacrificing themselves to the devil.
But there were too many human soldiers who died in battle.
There are no winners in wars.
But they are definitely not the loser, they must also be the winners when speaking to the outside world.
Han Shanshan and others were also concerned about Zhou Qing, and they kept talking for a while. This atmosphere had not been seen for a long time.
Yun Duo asked: "Sister An Lang, you went to the front line, what is it like there?"
An Lang first replied solemnly:
"It is a very dangerous place. Every time the barbarians attack, it takes a lot of lives to repel them..."
An Lang described it very seriously. He talked about the dangers of the frontline battlefield, then changed his tone and said very energetically:
"You and I He said, I also went to fight with the barbarians. When I went to the battlefield for the first time, oh, those barbarians were so cruel. They thought I was easy to bully, but unfortunately, they kicked me and they were like a stone."
"I went up directly, punched twice, then kicked twice, and directly knocked the barbarian in front..."
An Lang happily boasted about her achievements, telling how she fought bravely on the battlefield and killed all the enemies, making all the barbarians fearful.
But she always punches and kicks. Those who don’t know think she is not a ghost, but a warrior.
Watching An Lang boasting so much that Yun Duo was filled with amazement and even cooperated with An Lang to praise him from time to time, Zhou Qing laughed.
Pretty good.
Let An Lang stay in Kunlun Mountain and brag with Yunduo and the others, give her room to express herself, and then go to Shuiyue Peak alone.
"Master, I'm back."
Master Shuiyue Peak looked at Zhou Qing carefully, and saw that he was intact, and that his strength had improved significantly, and his mental outlook had undergone earth-shaking changes, and a smile appeared on his face. , kept nodding.
"It's good to be back safely."
But she was a little surprised. Didn't she just break through? Why did she break through again now?
But then I thought about it, the battlefield is the most tempering place. It is not incomprehensible for Zhou Qing's talent to undergo such ink and temper, and to make such rapid progress.
This is also the unified thought in the minds of those who discovered that Zhou Qing had achieved a breakthrough in marrow cleansing.
After all, his breakthrough speed in practice is already very fast, and now he has the battlefield as a training ground. It is not unacceptable to go faster.
Those who survived on the battlefield have made more or less rapid progress compared to before.
Master Shuiyue Peak said: "Things on the front line , I also heard, very good, you did a good job.”
It can be said that it is difficult to evaluate the level of elders and even higher levels, but the levels below the true blood of Yin Shen are in this war. Zhong Zhouqing is definitely the one who deserves the most credit.
Not only among the disciples of Xuandu, but also other forces and even the Daqi army, there is basically no one who has made greater contributions to the Xian Sheng Marrow Realm than him.
Master Shuiyue Peak was very happy, not only happy that Zhou Qing was safe, but also happy with his contribution on the front line.
Master Shuiyue Peak has practiced cultivation in Xuandu Temple all her life. This is her home, and Hanzhou is her hometown.
Now that Zhou Qing, a close junior, did such a thing, she was very happy.
"What I should do."
"Tell me about your time on the front line."
Zhou Qing followed the good example and talked about some of his experiences.
Finally, Zhou Qing asked the Shuiyue Peak Master some things.
Lu Qingmo has no sign of leaving confinement yet. In fact, this is something he knows.
Because if Lu Qingmo succeeds in breaking through, then she will be brought to Zhou Qing by the Dragon of Underworld.
No matter where Zhou Qing is, as long as the Dragon of Underworld comes back from the Underworld, it will appear directly in front of him without being restricted by space.
When the time comes, as long as Lu Qingmo returns to the world on the Dragon of Underworld, he will naturally come to him instead of returning to Shuiyue Peak's physical body.
In addition, the "academic exchange" team that Luo Liuli is a member of has not returned from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty yet, and has been there for almost two months.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing did not choose to follow them to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, otherwise he would have missed a lot of things, and now he is still drifting in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Song Dongchen is in retreat, not to attack the underworld, but he seems to have gained a certain understanding and is exploring further.
After all, I have been helped by the Dragon of Underworld many times, so I should have some understanding of underworld.
“After you come back, take a good rest for a while.”
Shuiyue Peak Master warned: “If other things are not particularly urgent, then postpone them.”
"The battlefield is cruel. I have experienced it. Coming back from the battlefield will inevitably have some impact on people. You need to have a good rest and let your mind be peaceful."
Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.
He understands the sequelae of war.
In fact, Xuanduguan will give each disciple who returns from the battlefield a considerable period of free time.
During this period, inner and outer disciples do not have to do sect tasks. They will be exempted from chores and given time to rest and adjust.
Practitioners are not iron men, especially in terms of psychology, and they are not invulnerable.
On the contrary, if there is a problem with the mind of a practitioner, the consequences will be much more serious than that of a mortal.
Zhou Qing returned to Kunlun Mountain. From then on, he practiced normally every day and occasionally received friends who came to visit him, such as Jiang Mi and others.
The rest of the time was very pleasant and relaxing.
In Xuandu Temple, you don’t have to worry about safety at all.
Until the last day of this month, all Xuandu disciples had withdrawn from the battlefield.
The awards ceremony within Xuandu Temple arrived as scheduled.
Zhuge Tongda, the deputy temple master, appeared in person to preside over the ceremony, mourning all the Xuandu disciples who died in this war and commending them all at the same time.
"In this war with the barbarians, our disciples..."
He said a lot, his true feelings were revealed, and he was very contagious. He called every disciple It's a hero.
At times like this, naturally there are not only verbal rewards, but Xuandu Guan will also give some practical ones.
Every disciple who comes back alive will receive a reward, and those who die in battle will also receive a pension.
All kinds of cultivation resources and inheritance are directly thrown down. This is an additional reward that does not require you to redeem it with military achievements.
It can be said that the reward is very generous and generous, far more than what the Daqi army gave.
The sense of belonging to Xuandu Temple is established bit by bit like this.
Those disciples who did not participate in the war were all envious, and some regretted not being able to go to the battlefield.
But more of it is heaviness and sadness.
This was really not a grand event. The atmosphere was very gloomy until the end, and no one was able to get excited when they left.
Snowflakes are flying on Kunlun Mountain.
Zhou Qing stood in the snow, thinking about many things, and finally became calm again.
Because there is one thing that is most important to him now.
Today is the last day of this month, in an hour or two.
Goldfinger is about to be refreshed again.
