"I brought you here today to show you this graveyard and this battlefield. This land cannot be destroyed, but the people who come here are constantly being destroyed … killed. "
"Lives can be destroyed continuously, but the battlefield, even if it's just a rock connected to a mountain, has not changed or moved for tens of thousands of years. As more and more people die, countless heroic souls live and merge into this land bit by bit, causing the foundation of this land to become more and more … indestructible. "
"Even if the Star Spirit Continent collapses, it will be difficult for this land to be destroyed. It will exist independently!"
"Fighting here is already an obsession for the warriors of the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls. They don't want to live, they want to die!"
The old man said.
"However, according to too many rumors, the higher-ups of the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls, who have reached the Heavenly King Realm or above, have a good personal relationship?!"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "If that's the case, can I understand … the heroic souls who die on this battlefield every day every year are not worth it? After all, they are bleeding and sacrificing here, but the higher-ups of their own and the enemy are probably sitting somewhere, drinking tea and chatting, or even drinking wine. "
The old man said calmly, "This situation is not a rumor, but a reality. Not only that, when the higher-ups of both sides confirm that there is something that they can't solve, they will ask the higher-ups of the other side for help. Once they ask, the other side rarely refuses. "
"These are all very normal things. After so many years of fighting, as long as they go to war, they are mortal enemies. Every pair can be said to be close friends to a certain extent! "
"As the old saying goes, the person who understands you the most is never your friend, but your enemy. Isn't that reasonable?!"
"But even if they help each other, it's not a big deal, and it's not a compromise or betrayal. On the contrary, the person involved will feel honored. Whenever they encounter such a situation, they will gather their subordinates and solemnly announce that a certain person has asked them to do something for him. Then, everyone will laugh and be very happy. The whole process seemed to be a very glorious and brilliant thing. "
"And in fact, it is indeed very glorious and outstanding. It is not something that any high ranking general can obtain the respect and request of the other party."
"However, this friendship will definitely not extend to the battlefield. Once on the battlefield, as long as there is an opportunity to kill the other party, everyone will go all out and grasp the opportunity that is hard to come by."
"As for the soldiers who died in battle, who would feel wronged? It won't happen! "
"The feelings between soldiers, enemies, or opponents, are incomprehensible to most people. If this were to be brought up to the rear, there would definitely be a bunch of people who would say, 'So many people are fighting for their lives, but at the end of the day, you guys are actually playing a game.' "
"That's just bullshit. It stinks!"
"Just like what happened in the past, there was a high ranking official here who doted on two young ladies. They needed to go to the Umno Alliance to gain some experience and gain some things. General Dongfang directly asked the Heavenly King of the opposing side to take care of the two young ladies on my side. They want to go to your side to play."
"At that time, the Heavenly King agreed without hesitation. He transferred some elites from the military to protect them and gave a strict order, 'This is my honor, I can't lose it!' If anything happens to the two young ladies, you don't have to come back. I can't explain it to Dongfang Zhengyang either. "
The old man said calmly, "The whole thing is so simple. However, if the people behind the scenes saw the whole thing, they would say that Dongfang Zhengyang colluded with the enemy, and that the Heavenly King of the Umno Alliance forgot about his own family!"
"There are many boundaries that are difficult to explain clearly at certain times and certain stages. The juniors of the Umno Alliance, especially those who are not talented in martial arts, come to our Land of Astral Souls to play. Most of them are protected by our military. As long as they don't do anything excessive, they will definitely come and go safely! "
"Of course, this must be explained clearly in advance in order to ensure their safety. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these two tender little girls will turn into a pile of minced meat the moment they step out of the Sun Moon Pass!"
"If the juniors of the high ranking officials here lack something in their cultivation, or need something to strengthen their cultivation, they will rarely refuse to do it. It's the same for the other side. Even though they know that these things will improve the talents of the other side, and may become an opponent in the future … as long as you mention it, they will do it for you. This is mutual respect, a respect that is hard to understand. "
"I'm afraid that you won't mention it, that you won't mention it."
"When you truly reach this step, when you truly set foot on this battlefield and experience the slaughter here, you will understand."
"Many things … can't be explained clearly, and can't be understood."
"As for this battlefield, the Sun Moon Fortress will always be the Sun Moon Fortress. However, for the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls, there is a concept that has been instilled in the hearts of the soldiers. That is, this place is a place to cultivate venomous insects. "
"No matter if it's a Heavenly King, a Marshal, or anyone else, as long as they can reach a high position, they must fight their way out here. Only by fighting their way out can they achieve a glorious position!"
"Countless soldiers are hoping that they can be the one to fight their way out of the battlefield! Or, their brothers can be the one who fights their way out! "
"Every time before entering the battlefield, countless warriors will encourage each other."
"If I'm destined to die, I hope that I can be the stepping stone for my brothers!"
The elder patted Zuo Xiaoduo's shoulder. "When you really enter the battlefield, you will realize that the so-called worry of life and death … has no room for consideration. It doesn't even exist."
"As long as you reach the Sun Moon Fortress, every warrior you see will be happy. Because for them, every day is a gain! "
"The most common sentence that the soldiers here say is —"
The elder's face turned solemn. He said softly, "For the rest of your life, every minute is a gain!"
"What unwillingness? What unworthy? These are things that only narrow-minded people would think about. These are strange things that only appear in the works of those pedantic scholars."
"The real heroes who face life and death on the battlefield don't have the time to think about these trivial things. Whenever they have a bit of free time, they will sweep the graves of their brothers, visit their families, or gather together to gamble, sleep, or get drunk … There are also those who are especially energetic when they are not injured on the battlefield. After the battle, they can even call a group of people to fight among themselves … "
The elder smiled as he said this. Suddenly, he took out two sets of military uniforms and put them on for himself and Zuo Xiaoduo.
Then, he straightened his back. Suddenly, Zuo Xiaoduo magically found that the elder suddenly looked like he was in his thirties or forties. It was even more exaggerated than turning into a living person.
"Since you're here today, I might as well show you how the people here talk and how they live their lives. I'll show you a real place where men live! "
As he said this, he took Zuo Xiaoduo and landed in the Sun Moon Fortress. They set foot on this land.
Zuo Xiaoduo was surprised to find that.
This place actually had everything that one could possibly want.
Or it should be said that as long as there was something in the inland, there was everything here.
There were all kinds of shops, all kinds of businesses, all kinds of food. There was a dazzling lineup. Everything!
Looking carefully, many of the shops were run by ordinary people.
But those who were buying things or strolling on the streets were all warriors. Some of them were in neat military uniforms, and some of them were ruffians. They wore their hats askew and their lapels were open. In the cold weather, the tufts of thick black chest hair on their chests were exposed. They walked with their feet splayed out and spoke loudly and fiercely, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were military ruffians.
The elder took Zuo Xiaoduo and walked toward a warrior who was dressed neatly in military uniform.
That person walked straight toward them without dodging. His whole body was overflowing with a valiant aura.
The elder smiled and said, "Brother, I'd like to ask for directions."
"Dog money! What do you want to ask me for? "
This person opened his mouth and said something that could lead to a decisive battle in the rear. His nose was still up in the air, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was stunned.
How could he be so rude?
Based on Zuo Xiaoduo's judgment of the elder's cultivation, he did not even need to move. He could kill the person in front of him with just a glance or a breath!
The elder scolded, "Dog money, where are the three generals and two battalions of the Blood Soul Army? I can't find a f * cking coin when I come back this time. "
"If you go that way, you'll see a f * cking big rock when you turn around. There's a big flag in the yard where the two donkey-like guys are standing guard. If you see that, you'll f * cking turn right and keep walking. You'll reach the Blood Soul Army's battalions after walking for about 20 miles. Go there and ask."
"Why is it so troublesome?"
"Don't go there if you think it's troublesome! Do you have anything else to do? "
"No, where the hell are you going?"
"F * ck, I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes … Cigarettes from my hometown are hard to buy here … This f * cking tobacco company is really f * cking damned … I can't even buy the cigarettes I want to smoke!"
"Don't go … Leave your name before you go …"
"Are you going to visit my grave? You want to ask for my name? I don't need it. Go and find your f * cking battalions … "
The burly man walked away.
The elder turned to Zuo Xiaoduo. "Did you hear that? Do you understand? "
Zuo Xiaoduo was dumbfounded. "You're so good-tempered … It's as if this guy can't speak when he's not swearing … Is this the Sun Moon Pass?"
The elder snorted. "I've never seen anyone who hasn't cursed in the past tens of thousands of years on the battlefield who hasn't cursed! This is still considered light. Some of them can curse seven or eight f * cking times with just one sentence … "
Zuo Xiaoduo was speechless.
This seemed to be very different from what he knew!
This was completely different from what he saw in the movies and TV series!
This place was truly clean. In the entire Sun Moon Pass, it could be said that there was no rubbish or dust to be seen in any nook or cranny. Not even a single cigarette butt could be seen.
After visiting a few tents, the various military supplies were as spotless as they were in the movies and TV series. They were as clean as tofu.
Everyone in the camp looked like human beings. Occasionally, they would talk to each other, but it was just a few harmless words …
But once they left the sight of the officers …
These guys were simply unrestrained to the point of sensationalism.
They would go out and start a fight without saying a word. Then, it would slowly develop to the point where their fellow villagers would join in, and it would evolve into a big group fight, where the gangs would shake each other.
There were also those who deliberately looked for trouble to vent their usual dissatisfaction and to ask for a fight.
For example, "Come out, I've long found you an eyesore …" This couldn't be called a reason at all. When one side called out the name, the other side had already jumped out with a ferocious face.
Anyway, everyone's temper wasn't good. As long as someone was looking for trouble, there was basically no possibility of not fighting!
They even saw two seriously injured people lying there with blood all over their bodies. They were still cursing at each other. Their curses were endless, and their spittle was flying everywhere.
Their eighteen generations of ancestors were all unscrupulously pulled out and scolded. They didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding taboo.
Looking at the resentment, if it weren't for the fact that they were seriously injured and couldn't move, these two people would definitely fight until their brains were splattered.
The people beside them didn't try to persuade them. They all hugged their arms and watched the show. They played poker when they should, gambled when they should, bet when they should, and did whatever they should, as if nothing had happened around them.
Zuo Xiaoduo listened for a long time and finally understood. One of the two people was ambushed, and the other risked his life to save him. Then, both of them were seriously injured, but at least they were still alive. However, the other brothers who were on the mission with them were all sacrificed.
And this was the crux of the complaint of the two people —
One scolded, "Stupid pig! It was such an obvious trap, and you stepped into it like an idiot! If you want to die, can't you not drag others down with you? "
The other scolded back, "Who asked you to save me? Who cares if you save me? I've lived long enough. I don't want to live anymore. I've wanted to die for a long time … F * ck, you dragged our brothers down with you. You're a pig! Don't you know strategy? "
The more the two scolded, the angrier they became.
However, as the people around them whispered, Zuo Xiaoduo understood everything. The so-called accidental stepping into the trap was not due to carelessness. It was because the battle situation had reached that point. For the sake of the overall battle situation, they had to give up on part of it.
However, the two of them kept scolding each other, and they didn't stop at all …
Zuo Xiaoduo's only thought at that moment was, "What's there to argue about? What's there to scold? You're uncomfortable, you're unhappy, but I'm even more unhappy!
The only result of this is that everyone will be unhappy. Even their spittle will be wasted. Why bother? "
While they were making a fuss, they suddenly saw a person with a murderous aura descend from the sky. He said angrily, "Is there anyone from Dongshan who's still alive? We were beaten up by people from Western Sichuan. There are so many of them. I can't take this lying down! If there's anyone from Dongshan who's still breathing, come with me! "
With a loud bang, seven or eight people in the room stood up. A group of people in the room next door was also howling, "People from Western Sichuan dare to beat up people from Dongshan? They're rebelling! Brothers, get your weapons! If you have the guts, come with me! "
Then, he saw a group of old military ruffians swarming into the sky with sabers and swords.
"This, this …" Zuo Xiaoduo's eyelids twitched.
'Is this the military camp of my dreams?'
'Is this the military camp in TV shows and movies that is clean and tidy, polite, and calm?' 'Is this the heroes in TV shows who have serious faces and are full of righteousness?'
'The entire camp I see is filled with demons and demons. Everywhere is filled with demons.'
'Look at those officers who are strolling around and pretending not to see anything …'
Zuo Xiaoduo's brain was about to explode. As the saying went, "Seeing is believing." Now that he heard it and saw it with his own eyes, it was really, really …
"This is the real military camp. The reality of the military camp is indescribable."
The old man patted Zuo Xiaoduo's shoulder. "Actually, you just have to think about it. These guys have been here for many years. Every day, if they're not looking at each other, they're looking at their enemies. They're either cultivating, fighting, or taking short breaks."
"Life is so boring that it's like a pool of stagnant water repeating itself. Moreover, they're constantly facing death and accepting sacrifice."
"How do you vent this pressure? How do you get rid of the fear of death? How do you squander your exuberant energy? "
"Even if you train and cultivate with your life on the line every day, there will always be times when you're free. When your mind is empty, it's inevitable that you'll miss home, women, children, and parents. However, you can't go back. You still have to face the war here all the time. Whenever you think about it, you'll have the urge to die and cry. How can you not want to vent it …"
"But how do you vent it? The simplest and most direct way is to torture each other. Just fight! Anyway, everyone can fight each other. As long as no one dies, they can still improve their combat power through actual combat … "
The old man chuckled.
He looked at the group of guys outside who were beaten to a pulp. The group of military ruffians who were fighting fiercely in the sky. There was only deep heartache in his eyes.
When they spoke, it seemed that they wouldn't open their mouths if they didn't curse. If they didn't agree with each other, they would draw their swords and start a fight. Even a glance could trigger a large-scale armed fight …
No matter whether you were in the right or not, if you won, everyone would claim credit for you. If you lost, you would continue to be beaten. Everyone would swarm up and start to beat you up. You actually lost when you went out to fight. You've embarrassed us brothers!
After the brothers beat you up, the senior officer would beat you up again. You actually lost. You've embarrassed me!
Often, when you were sleeping at night, there would be a sudden bang. The upper and lower bunks would fight because of a fart from the upper bunk. In an instant, everyone would be thrown off their feet and the bed would be smashed into pieces … Then, it would develop to the point where everyone in the room would join in the fight. Following that, the people in the next room would also join in the fight angrily.
Everyone was a martial artist, and all of them were high-level martial artists. How could the commotion caused by people like them be small?
After a battle, the camp would be directly destroyed. It would be a scene of devastation. The so-called punishment was nothing more than deducting everyone's wages to repair the camp.
It was said that some unlucky fellows actually didn't get paid for two hundred years. They either borrowed money every day or went around freeloading on cigarettes, alcohol, and food … Their skin was already as thick as the city walls.
The old man took Zuo Xiaoduo to three military camps. The situation was basically the same. There was no difference.
"Look at the surprise in your eyes. Have you been fooled by the television? If a martial artist who is ready to fight at the Sun and Moon Pass and is ready to die at any time can still be so well-behaved and follow the rules, it's simply unrealistic. If there's really someone who's so well-dressed and courteous to talk to you, then they're either trying to cheat you or want to borrow some money or cultivation resources from you … "
The old man said, "And this kind of borrowing, 99% of the time, it's not repaid. The IOU will be written as it should be. No matter how big the IOU is, there will still be people who dare to sign it. But the problem is that they don't even know if they will be alive tomorrow. Can you, the creditor, still be alive tomorrow? How do you collect the debts of the dead? How do you pay back the debts of the dead …"
"As for the so-called military theme in the movies and TV series, I suspect that those scriptwriters have never been in the military at all! They're just a bunch of greedy people who rely on fantasy men to play word games to cheat money! "
"…"
Zuo Xiaoduo's face turned cold.
As a greedy and stingy person, he subconsciously thought of his debtors. It seemed that maybe they were also going to the battlefield. If they came here, would they also become such people?
F * ck, those guys must be trying to renege on their debts!
"Even if they are a scholarly scholar, as long as they come to the Sun and Moon Pass, they will be successfully transformed in less than a day. They will be transformed into a rough man who is full of vulgarities, eats meat, and can hold a steamed bun with his hands as soon as his toenails are done … Because if they hesitate for a few seconds, they won't be able to eat anything …"
"The people of the Umno Alliance are looking forward to going to the battlefield, and so are our people … Because we can get loot if we kill the enemy … But the problem is … these guys on both sides are a bunch of poor bastards!"
"There was once a group of people who wiped out the enemy. They seemed to have a lot of loot. There were more than 700 Space Rings, but there was nothing in the Space Rings except weapons. They couldn't even find a piece of low-grade Jade of Astral Souls …"
Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't help but sigh, and said, "There are a lot of supplies in the rear. Why didn't they get more and give them to the soldiers to stimulate their cultivation? It's not good to improve their cultivation!"
"A lot?"
The old man smiled bitterly, "Do you know how many people there are in the Sun and Moon Pass? The number of warriors participating in the war here has already exceeded 200 million! Even if it's just low-grade Jade of Astral Souls, one piece per person, it will still cost 200 million. As for low-grade Star Soul Jade, what use would it be to such high level martial artists? There is no way to distribute it equally! There's not even the slightest chance of that! "
"Of course there are resources, including the donations from the rear, the allocation from the military, and the continuous mining of mines. There are a lot of resources, but it's still far from enough to meet the needs of the frontline!"
"There are even a lot of cultivation resources in the storehouses of the various combat troops. But they don't dare to take them out. They can only store them and give them as rewards!"
"Because once the exits are opened and all the warehouses are opened to use, the so-called reserves will be used up in no more than one year. By then, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to provide rewards and salaries for the soldiers!"
"This is the current situation!"
"This is the reality, the reality of the military camp, the real military camp!"
"There are a lot of resources in the rear, but the resources in the rear belong to the rear. They can't be confused with the resources in the front. The resources in the rear not only have to satisfy the needs of the people, but also have to cultivate the future talents!"
"The frontline … can only be maintained like this … After all, the current situation of the war has become a model where generations of people are passing on the torch."
The old man's mood gradually became gloomy as he spoke.
