The blazing flames flew in the dark with the scorching temperature that came to their faces, and the sparks drifted around in the flames like fireflies.

Like other guards, Yan Liqiang stood outside the piles of rising flames, watching the piles of flames being ignited, and the flying sparks and the bodies gradually annihilated in the flames.

Like the people around him, Yan Liqiang's face was red by the red light of the flames. The piles of flames were burning on a hillside behind Huijiaji, and also burning in Yan Liqiang's heart.

Twenty-six piles of rising flames were the last heat of the twenty-six death-death guards around Sun Bingchen staying in this world.

The scene was silent, slightly depressed. Everyone, including Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie, stood solemnly around the fire, but Yan Liqiang also faintly heard an uncontrollable sob in his ears.

The one crying was a young guard who was just over 20 years old, who was not many years stronger than Yan Li. The reason why he cried was because one of the twenty-six burning flames was his biological brother.

The young guard was named Hu Haihe. He and his brother were both from the Imperial Capital. Because an uncle in his family was in charge of the Imperial Capital, so when he was recruiting troops, his uncle entrusted his brother to the Imperial Capital, so that the treatment of the Imperial Capital was better than that of other soldiers stationed in the Imperial Capital. Later, Hu Haihe joined the army and also entrusted his uncle to join the Imperial Capital, and he also got together with his brother, so that the two brothers could take care of each other.

This time, Sun Bingchen was the inspector, and he and his brother were deported to the northwest with Sun Bingchen.

In the battle two days ago, his brother was on the battlefield, in order to protect him, and was shot in the neck by the Black Wind Thieves with an arrow and died on the spot.

Yan Liqiang hadn't known that there was a pair of brothers among Sun Bingchen's guards before. It was not until yesterday that he heard other guards talk about it and knew about it.

The brothers bid farewell on the battlefield is also a tragedy on earth...

The beating flames flashed in Yan Liqiang's eyes, and the corpse in the flames also under the high temperature, which was not pleasant to see.

Looking at everything in front of him, Yan Liqiang didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the scene of Tianmeng he and one of his good friends in Tibet in the last life. That time, he didn't have the courage to finish the entire Tianmeng process. When the person who wanted Tianmeng appeared on the Tianmeng platform and a large number of vultures appeared in the sky, Yan Liqiang, who knew what was going to happen next, couldn't help but flee in panic. At this moment, at this close distance, he looked at the bodies burning in front of him that were expanding, fissure and decomposing, Yan Liqiang was calm, because there was a voice in his heart that was surging and telling that if you were the one who died in battle two days ago, then your body would become ugly and ugly in the firelight at this moment, and eventually turn into a charred dust and nothingness, making his relatives sad and enemies happy. Therefore, no matter what, never let yourself become a carbohydrate burning and rotting on firewood...

All dangers are unpredictable, and death is always sudden. The people you trust and rely on may lead you into the trap of death. Therefore, if you want to survive, there is only one way to become stronger, stronger, and stronger.

Yan Liqiang's face was calm, but the fist of one hand was tightly pinched in his sleeve.

...

The piles of fires burned for two hours before finally extinguishing and turned into lingering smoke. Then, Yan Liqiang and other guards gathered some of the ashes left in the fire together into the pottery jars with names collected from the Hui family, and dug holes and buried the remaining bones on the spot, without erecting monuments.

A few days ago, the twenty-six guards who rode together on the Rhino Dragon horse immediately became alive. In the end, they only turned into a pile of ashes in the pottery jars and held them in the hands of a brother in the robe.

"After returning to the imperial capital, I will report to Your Majesty that all of them are considered martyrs who sacrificed their country on the battlefield. They will be given double pensions. If there are children or brothers in their family, they will be given preferential treatment in the future, or perform their duties in the public sector!" Looking at the silent faces, Sun Bingchen spoke, which gave some comfort to the alive guards.

"Thank you, sir!" All of them bowed to Sun Bingchen and thanked him.

"Everyone have a good rest tonight, everyone cheer up tomorrow and continue on their way..." Liang Yijie added next to him.

"yes!"

...

After completing this ceremony, Yan Liqiang and his team returned to the inn.

No one was interested. Except for a few people on duty, almost everyone returned to their rooms after returning to the inn. Yan Liqiang was the same.

Seeing Yan Liqiang return to the room, Huangmao shook his tail and walked over with his feet little by little.

Yan Liqiang touched Huangmao's head, checked the injuries on Huangmao's legs again, and let Huangmao lie down on the side.

The imperial earth dragon herb paste that Sun Bingchen gave him was indeed very effective. In just one day, Yan Liqiang felt that the yellow hair had recovered a lot. The foot that could not move at all can now try to walk. Although it still looks a little lame, it is developing in a good direction and may not take much time to recover.

After experiencing this life-and-death test, Yan Liqiang discovered that having a dog like Huangmao by his side is sometimes more effective than one person. Taking care of Huangmao became Yan Liqiang's unshirkable responsibility.

Yan Liqiang, who returned to the room, sat quietly for a while, calmed down his mood, closed the doors and windows of the room, pulled the windproof curtains on the doors and windows, then took a stick of incense and lit it on the oil lamp in the room, then inserted the incense stick into an incense burner in the room, placed the incense burner on the ground, and blew out the oil lamp.

After extinguishing the oil lamp, Yan Liqiang's entire room suddenly fell into the darkness of his hand and no fingers. In the whole room, there was only the incense stick that Yan Liqiang had just lit, and a red ignition point appeared on the dark ground.

Yan Liqiang lay on the ground as if he was lying on the ground, raising his head, staring at the red incense head in the darkness three meters away.

Yan Liqiang's posture of lying on the ground was very special, like a tiger, and a bit like a plank support he made in his previous life. His feet and toes fell to the ground behind him, and his whole body was like a bridge, stretched into a straight line. In front, the only thing that supported his entire upper limbs was the thumb and index finger of each hand. Not only that, Yan Liqiang's eyes were also widened, staring at the red incense head a few meters away without blinking. His entire person's attention was on the only light in the darkness.

It is an instinct for people to blink to relieve eye fatigue, but Yan Liqiang deliberately controls his eyes and holds it back when he wants to blink, just staring at the red light.

After a while, Yan Liqiang's eyes began to ache, but Yan Liqiang still held back and stared at the red light without blinking. Then the fingers that were bearing the weight of Yan Liqiang's upper body also began to feel sore and tremble, but Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth and supported...

In just a moment, because Yan Liqiang's eyes did not blink, tears began to shed, and on Yan Liqiang's forehead, drops of sweat kept rolling down...

This is a way that Yan Liqiang thought of in the past two days to let his body and eyes enter the extreme overdraft state at the fastest speed, especially the eyes. In this state, it is definitely a test for the eyes' vision.

The incense stick burned for almost an hour. When the incense stick was finished, Yan Liqiang's whole eyes were red, hot, and even slightly swollen. It took nearly an hour. Under Yan Liqiang's control, he could only blink four times, and his two fingers seemed to be about to break, trembling, and sweating all over his body.

Yan Liqiang got up from the ground, closed his eyes, and slowed down his breathing. After resting for a while, he began to do the Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Meridian.
