After the skeleton was restrained, the surrounding wind suddenly dissipated. The monster beneath him scattered all over the ground with a loud bang, and the human voice in the mist also disappeared. After two more breaths, the fog slowly faded and the sunshine returned to the wilderness.
Although Li Bochen thought that the bones were important, he didn't expect that he could break the spell with just the scabbard. He was a little confused for a moment, and thought, could it be another trick?
Then he walked slowly over with the knife in hand, stopped two steps in front of the skeleton, and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll send you on your way!"
After saying this, he struck down with a knife. When he was about to chop, he stopped his hand and stopped the blade against the head. There was still no reaction from the skeleton, so Li Bochen sat cross-legged on the ground, and the ghost spirit came out of his body.
His twenty Yin soldiers were still there, and they looked unharmed. Looking at the momentum of the two monsters just now, he thought they would lose everything this time... The Earth Master was really bluffing.
He looked towards the mound and saw a ball of dim lightning on the earth master's chest, which seemed to be in the shape of a scabbard. It still maintained its posture with its arms raised, but it was already sculpture-like.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't you claim to have become a spiritual god on earth? Why are you so inexperienced?"
The four eyes of the Earth Master could still move. He turned around a few times and made a sound: "Winning or losing... it's up to you to do whatever you want! I'm tired of living!"
Li Bochen was a little surprised when he heard this. If the Earth Master's plan just now was all to scare him away, then his desire to survive must be extremely strong, otherwise he would not have made such a dangerous move. But now he seems to be taking life and death lightly, which seems a little unreasonable. He said, "It's too early to tell whether you will live or die. Let me ask you, did you do the graves on the mountain and the few people who died in the village?"
The Earth Master sneered: "So what if it is, so what if it's not? Can you still let me go?"
Li Bochen also smiled coldly: "If you want to die, I can't help you. But if -"
The earth master suddenly said angrily: "Bah! I would rather die!"
He was so ignorant that Li Bochen felt a little angry in his heart. Just as he was about to give him another taste of pain, he suddenly saw his four eyes moving again.
This was the second time he had done this. When he was talking, Li Bochen thought it was the habit of this evil creature to wink, but now he saw that he was actually winking at the bottom of the mound. With a thought in his heart, he followed the Earth Master's gaze and realized that what he was signaling might be the copper nail - the bones had been scattered by him, and the copper nail fell to the ground. Later, the Earth Master gathered his body again, and the copper nail went to his forehead again.
He immediately looked around and saw that the field was empty and there was no suspicious person. With a thought in his heart, he asked the twenty Yin soldiers to move further outwards, enclosed himself and the Earth Master in the formation, walked to the skeleton, and raised his finger to point to the nail.
The Earth Master's eyes immediately widened and he said nothing.
Li Bochen had some thoughts in his mind and realized that the Earth Master should be telling him to pull out the copper nails.
He had just pulled out half of the copper nail, and the earth master was out of trouble. Now he signaled himself to do so. Li Bochen felt a little hesitant. But judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no plan, but that there is indeed something to ask for.
He was not the kind of timid person, so he thought again, returned to his physical body and walked closer, raised his hand and actually pulled out the copper nail. The bones made a slight clicking sound and dispersed slightly.
Li Bochen came out of his body again and looked at the mound, and was slightly surprised.
I saw that the earth master was a humanoid monster before, but now he really looked like a human. He looked like a very short old man, wearing black robes and with white beard and hair. He seemed quite amiable, but he still had the scabbard-shaped electric light on his chest.
Before he could speak, the Earth Master immediately said: "Those two things were not done by me!"
Was he really restrained by this brass nail just now and did not dare to speak? Li Bochen knew that he should be afraid of himself, or that he said what he just said because of what he wanted, but he didn't know what he was afraid of or what he wanted to get, so he said: "You want me to pull out that nail because you want me to pull out the nail." Can you, the person trapped in the sarcophagus, listen to us?"
The Earth Master hurriedly said: "Yes——"
Li Bochen immediately said: "Then it's time for you to ask for help from me now. Can you please tell me what I can do for you?"
The Earth Master was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing, and didn't ask anything else.
After a long while, he said: "Are you... really a human being?"
Li Bochen actually wanted to laugh when he heard this - he should have asked him this. Although I have been dealing with monsters and beasts during the six years in Wuliang City, I have never seen the Rakshasa and Sumeru people from the Demon Kingdom, but I have heard of them. Those demons looked like Li Qiuhu and had humanoid forms, but they had extremely weird temperaments and it was difficult for ordinary people to communicate with them.
On the contrary, this earth master was originally a ghost beast, but now that he has dealt with him, he looks like a "human".
He said: "I am not a human being, what should I be like?"
The Earth Master was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, so there really is someone like you... Since you are such a person, why did you kill Princess Zhenluo?"
Li Bochen was puzzled by his question and said: "Why not? She is a demon and has kidnapped our general. Naturally, I want to kill her to save others."
The Earth Master sighed: "It turns out you don't know anything..."
Li Bochen was impatient to play riddles with him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate. What do you mean?"
The Earth Master sighed again and said: "Well, I mean, Princess Zhenluo of the Nubu may not have kidnapped your general, but just wanted to take him to the Demon Kingdom to see and be a messenger again. .”
Li Bochen was surprised and couldn't help but said: "Be a messenger? What kind of messenger?"
The Earth Master was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe they want to be the envoys of armistice and peace talks... They don't want to kill each other like this anymore."
Li Bochen couldn't help but laugh, but he was out of anger: "Killing each other? Monsters are monsters, and humans are humans. How could they be so self-reliant? Besides, it's been your demon kingdom that has been pressing on you step by step for so many years. There is never anyone left alive on the battlefield, so where can we kill each other?"
The Earth Master said: "Are you going to keep the monsters alive on the Northern Plains? Will you keep the Rakshasas and Sumeru people alive?"
Li Bochen immediately wanted to say, "This is natural. There are many Rakshasa slaves in the Six Kingdoms now." But as soon as the thought came up, I remembered where those slaves came from - after capturing the Rakshasa people on the battlefield, all the males were naturally killed. As for women...most of them will also be killed. But some pregnant women will be left behind and give birth to little Rakshasa. The adults will not keep them, but the babies can be kept - sold to the country as slaves.
Looking at it this way, it really can't be regarded as being left alive.
And when he killed the Shinra Princess he was talking about, he indeed never regarded her as a "person", but only regarded her as a beast in human form.
If it were the "me" of the past, I would definitely never listen to these ignorant words from this earth master again. But since he comes from another world, many of his thoughts and insights are always somewhat different. Now calm down and think about it carefully... In the eyes of monsters and demonic people, people like myself should be considered extremely cruel.
But this is inevitable. When it comes to the battlefield, everyone has their own master, and naturally they will do anything they can. The Six Kingdoms and the Demonic Kingdom have been at war for so many years, and they have long forgotten whether it was for the spiritual gods they worshiped or for some other reason. The blood feud that lasted for thousands of years - who cares about anything else?
He took a deep breath and said: "Okay, it seems you do have something to say, so tell me everything - what is your name? Do you have a name?"
The Earth Master said: "My name is Bi Hai, and I used to be the priest of my clan. Do you really want to listen to me? Then take the talisman off my body first, otherwise, after a while, I'm afraid my soul will fly away!"
Li Bochen was slightly startled when he heard the word "Fu Bao", and then realized that he should be referring to the scabbard.
I see!
When he was at the foot of Wujing Mountain, he wanted to give the magic knife to Li Ding. Li Ding did not dare to reach out and pick it up, but took the Beichen Talisman to pick it up. The six royal families of the Six Kingdoms, namely Gao, Li, Sui, Jiang, Yu, and Wei, are all descendants of the six emperors, and each king has a treasure seal in his hand given by the emperor he enshrined.
The talisman in Li Ding's hand should have been stamped by the treasure seal in the hand of Lord Linxi. It is said that it can bring luck to the emperor and even canonize the earth's spiritual gods.
They should have sealed a talisman in the sheath, so they could not leave the handle of the sword until they returned the sword to the sheath - it must be because the emperor's luck suppressed the true spirit on the magic sword.
Bi Hai's skeleton must have been restrained by this talisman!
But Li Bochen did not act rashly, and flicked his wrist to call Ye Chengchou out and said, "Mr. Ye, if I take out the scabbard with the talisman from him, how should I restrain him in the future?"
Ye Chengchou looked at the Earth Master and frowned: "Control? What a joke! You are not a person blessed with the luck of the Six Emperors holding a treasure seal. How can you control him? If you can control him, you I can seal another one!"
Li Bochen was shocked - Bi Hai said before that he was a conferred spiritual god, could it be possible...
After hearing this, Bi Hai hurriedly said: "No, no, the real person misunderstood...I am not a righteous god now...Oh, listen to me - I was captured and made into this ghost boy, and it was the copper nail that was used as a weapon." I am calm. With that thing, the person who refines me will have a life-and-life relationship with me, and he will know what I said to you before."
Li Boxen asked: "Who is that person?"
Bi Hai said: "My name is Ye Lu, he is a mage from the Palace of the Six Emperors of the Sui Dynasty. But it was not him who sealed me, but another person who came with him. That person only sealed me with a Liudu Talisman. But that person doesn’t know whether it will work or not, he just gave it a try!”
He added: "Looking at it now, of course that person didn't do it. The Yin spirits I just summoned were all summoned by them with talismans first, and were not driven by me as an Earth Master. Otherwise, how could I Are you afraid that you will hurt my true body? Because I am not a real conferred spiritual god. When my true body is gone, my Yin spirit will also be gone!"
"So even if you take away the talisman, as long as my true body is still in your hands...my life is also in your hands!"
Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "According to what you said, wouldn't it be possible that if a child comes at this time, he can kill you?"
Bi Hai said: "No. But, you have that knife."
Li Bochen nodded and thought for a while.
This Bi Hai should indeed not be an Earth Master at the moment. Speaking of tigers, earth masters, and water uncles, some of them are not as weird and powerful as ordinary people imagine - many of them were just ignorant ghosts at first, wandering between heaven and earth, and accidentally bumped into them. The destiny condensed from the vitality of the land merged with it and became the spiritual god of the earth.
These are the first batch of innate spiritual gods. It is said that the six emperors and three demon kings today came from this way. Then they realized the way of heaven, mastered the luck and created cultivation methods, and then the acquired spiritual gods came into existence. When practitioners reach the peak of the spiritual illumination realm, they can use a large number of resources to integrate with the luck and become spiritual gods. But after the Netherworld is established, these spiritual gods must be sealed.
But despite this, a local spirit god can mobilize the vitality and fortune of large areas of land, mountains, and rivers, and it is quite difficult to deal with it.
But the various methods Bi Hai showed before really made Li Bochen a little disappointed now. He said that the person who sealed him just wanted to give it a try... and indeed it should have been unsuccessful.
He then said: "So, there are two people who have been here. One is named Ye Lu. Where is the other one? Where is the person who sealed you?"
Bi Hai said: "I really don't know. In this sarcophagus, I can only listen, but I can't speak. I only know that the man is a man, not young anymore - real man, please take your talisman first!"
Ye Chengchou sneered: "Li Bochen, if you really believe this kind of rhetoric, then-"
But Li Bochen waved his hand and took him back, saying to Bi Hai: "If you didn't do the tomb and the person, I really have no reason to harm you. Although you are a ghost from the Demon Kingdom, you were refined into this sarcophagus. , can also be considered a victim.”
He said this and then thought about it: "Did you kill anyone when you were still in the Demon Kingdom?"
Bi Hai hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! I was still there at that time..."
Li Bochen took two steps back and returned to his body. He held the knife against his skull with one hand and pulled out the scabbard with the other hand.
The skeleton moved slightly under the scabbard and made a slight sound. After a while, hundreds of bones quickly merged into one, turning into the child's skeleton when he first saw it. Then dark red strands of flesh suddenly protruded from the bone seam, and in the blink of an eye, countless strands spread out, tightly wrapping the skeleton.
After two more breaths, the skin of flesh and blood had actually appeared, and he had truly turned into a naked child with dark skin and yellow eyes.
He opened his eyes suddenly and stared straight at the sky for a while, not caring about the blade pressed in front of his face. Then he slowly got up, sat on the ground, and stared at Li Bochen for a while. Suddenly tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and he said: "I want you people to be people like you, and I want people in the Demon Kingdom to be people like you... So why not leave this world to you!"
When he spoke now, his demeanor was different from the submissive demeanor just now, but more of the bluffing demeanor he had before. But it was false at that time. The words he said now sounded indeed heroic and arrogant.
