He was startled by his own thoughts. It's not because of the idea itself - even if Xu Cheng and the Fengxue Sword God really regard themselves as the "Emperor of Pure Yuan", every time they think about what they do, they may be secretly observed by another existence, and it may be known that they can hide in this world. , I felt that getting rid of the two was indeed the safest way - but because this idea jumped out so naturally.
He has slowly realized that when he was in this world, many of the decisions he made seemed to be what the world regarded as "decisive and decisive". For example, he used Zhu Hou, used Yin Chao to try to confer a god status, used Yin spirits to refine Yin soldiers, and even now wants to get rid of them quickly.
He is now Beichen. Looking into the details, it is because Beichen's luck first possessed him. As soon as Beichen died in this world, the luck he left behind took root in himself - Li Boxen felt a little confused for a moment. Did he use this luck to become Beichen, or was this luck using him to transform himself into Beichen in the past?
But no matter what, he can no longer leave this world and this identity. The question of "to be myself or not to be myself"... should be left to be resolved later.
He stopped his thoughts and began to refine the Yin spirits in front of him according to the methods in the "Yin Fu Emperor Sutra" and transfer the spiritual power to the remaining Yin soldiers.
After going to Xucheng, there were still nineteen Yin soldiers left. These Yin soldiers were originally the Shenwei Cavalry led by Pei Song, and they all had the first-level spiritual enlightenment realm during their lifetimes. The technique mastered by those in the Beichen line of spiritual enlightenment is "Po Jun", and the technique that those in the Liudu line of spiritual enlightenment can master is "Gangfeng". 【Note 1】
If it were a fight between strangers in the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm, the Army-Breaking Technique would be far more effective than the Gangfeng Technique. The military-breaking technique can save lives at critical moments, but the Gangfeng technique can only force a thin layer of energy on the weapons, which cannot hurt people. It can only confuse people's minds when the weapons intersect. If you encounter the Beichen cultivator who has practiced the military-breaking technique, this technique will be completely useless.
But now that they have become Yin soldiers, the Gangfeng technique is easier to use than the military breaking technique - according to the "Yin Fu Emperor Sutra", there are basically two ways for Yin soldiers to fight. One is to harm the mind of a living being, and the other is to possess a human body and make it a puppet temporarily.
If Yin soldiers are used to deal with monsters, possession will be impossible, but their minds can still be damaged. In this way, the Yin soldiers' use of the Gangfeng Technique makes their ability to damage the mind a bit stronger. Although the monster beast has rough skin and thick flesh, its spiritual consciousness does not have any protection from armor or fur.
Li Bochen is now a dragon and tiger, and he is much more familiar with using this Yin Fu Jing than before. There are thousands of Yin spirits needed to refine a Yin soldier to the dragon and tiger realm, so he selected nine of them and refined these nine people to this realm. At this time, only a thousand of the tens of thousands of Yin spirits that Bai Twelve had attracted were left, and he used these more than a thousand to refine the other ten to the Qi-nourishing state.
If the Yin soldiers were cultivators during their lifetime, they would use the techniques of that lineage after their death. At present, these nineteen people can all use the "Gang Feng Technique" that they already know, but they can also master more advanced ones. Li Bochen himself didn't understand the Liudu lineage technique, but Ye Chengchou in his hand did. 【Note 2】
He called Ye Chengchou out and first taught the nineteen people the "Three Disasters and Calamity Winds" technique used in the Qi-nourishing realm, and then taught the other nine people the "Golden Light Technique" used in the Dragon and Tiger realm.
By the time he finished doing this, one or two hours would have passed in the living world. Although he escaped into this world in a secret realm, something big changed last night, and he didn't know if anything would go wrong while he was away, so he adjusted his breath to catch up on his sleep before escaping.
He had chosen a secluded place before - he was worried that the people who entered the secret realm would become more panicked because they had nothing to do, so he assigned some work to almost everyone. In just one or two hours, some shacks have been erected. He entered meditation behind the temporary pile of firewood. The grass there was almost as tall as a person, and he could not be seen sitting cross-legged among it.
Just when I saw the blue sky on the top of the secret realm, I heard someone not far away asking: "Have you seen the Lord?"
The voice sounded a little urgent and a little uneasy. Li Bochen's heart tightened. Did something happen again? Then he stood up and said, "Fang Yu, I'm here."
Fang Bao ran over in big strides: "Your Majesty, Sui Wu Jiu is here!"
Li Bochen was stunned: "Did he bring someone to kill him?"
"No, he came by himself." Fang Yu seemed to be running in a hurry just now, so he stopped to take a few breaths, "Ying Gai also came back, bringing General Qin and Miss Tao with him. Sui Wujiu followed them."
Li Boxen didn't expect Ying Yi to come back so quickly. Could he be able to come and go freely among the monsters? He then asked, "Did Sui Wujiu say anything?"
Fang Ruan snorted: "He still thought he was the former Duke Chebei, and didn't say a word. Yingying said that he came to discuss the matter with you - Junhou, what are you going to do? He is that person Can’t be trusted!”
Li Boxen said: "I know. Let's go and see him."
But his inner view was different from Fang Yu's. Sui Wujiu was indeed untrustworthy at other times, but now, if he was dealing with monsters, that might not be the case. Sui Wujiu led the remaining army from Wuliang City through the Siheng Mountains to here. There must be many dangers on the way. The monsters in the Demon Kingdom may be different from humans, but its ruling class is Rakshasa and Sumeru, both of whom are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death, and also have human emotions. If Sui Wujiu is a villain... He is also from the Sui royal family. If he surrenders to the demon beast, the demon kingdom will definitely publicize it and give him many benefits.
But now that he was surrounded in the stronghold and refused to defend, he never thought of surrender. Based on this alone, although Li Boxen still resented him, he still admired his backbone.
A military camp was set up at the entrance to the secret realm, which was simply surrounded by wooden fences. However, it was just an open space without tables and chairs. The four people who came were standing by the river. A few steps away, a ten-man general on duty led three people. It's guarding.
Sui Wujiu stood with his hands behind his back, a little far away from the other three, looking very arrogant. When he saw Li Bochen approaching, he just stared at him with a straight face, unsmiling. Instead, he smiled bitterly at him and said loudly: "Brother Li, don't blame me, I can't help it - I can come and go freely, but when I brought them two, I was surrounded by monsters. If it hadn't been for meeting Mr. Chebei, Come this way, all three of us will have to answer if you don't make trouble."
Li Bochen only nodded. Sui Wujiu wanted to kill himself, but failed; he tried to kill Ying Gai, but failed, but now he came here alone. He must have been extremely confident in his abilities, and with his cultivation in the Dongxuan Realm , it would not be difficult to find the entrance to the secret realm and break in. At this time, there is no need to worry about bringing him in.
He walked up to the four of them. Since Sui Wujiu didn't want to talk, he ignored him and said to Qin Le first: "General Qin, are all the people on your side gone?"
Qin Le only had a breastplate covered in blood left on his body and sighed: "It's all gone."
Li Bochen also sighed and looked at Tao Chunxi again. There were tears on her face and mud marks all over her clothes. She must have been frightened, and she looked a little lost, like a frightened deer. He whispered: "Miss Tao, are you injured somewhere?"
Tao Chunxi shook her head in confusion after a while: "No...Brother Li, can I still go back to Linxi?"
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment - she had said she wanted to stay before. She was indeed frightened... After all, she was born in a good environment since she was a child. Although she had escaped from Zhangcheng before, it was still a matter between people. Now I have met a monster. Monsters don't talk sense. Compared with those things, even ordinary bandits have become much cuter. Compared with this place, Linxi, which I hated before, has indeed become a good place again - at least there are good soldiers and generals, and there is no need to face monsters for the time being.
Alas, that’s fine too. Li Bochen originally wanted to ask Qin Le to bring the bead made of his flesh and blood to Li Shengyi, but now he changed his mind when he saw Tao Chunxi's appearance.
He thought for a moment, then turned to Sui Wujiu and said, "Mr. Sui, let me explain something to Miss Tao first. We will discuss your affairs and mine later."
Sui Wujiu nodded slightly, showing no emotion or anger. Li Bochen then said to Tao Chunxi: "Follow me."
After saying this, he turned around and walked down the cliff next to the camp. Tao Chunxi was stunned for a moment, but followed him. Li Boxen walked to a big rock on the edge of the cliff and stopped. There were several short trees next to the big rock, blocking the view of people in the distance.
He asked: "Chunxi, do you want to go back to Linxi?"
Tao Chunxi was stunned for a while and then said: "...Yeah."
Then he said: "Brother Li, please come with us."
Li Bochen sighed in his heart. If it were Xiaoman, she would not have said this - she knew herself well and knew that even if she had a way, she would not be able to just walk away.
He smiled: "There are so many people here, I can't leave. As for you... you talked to me before, and I know you were unhappy in Linxi, but after all, it is still far away from monsters. , you can really go back and be safer."
Tao Chunxi scratched the lapel of her clothes and fell silent. Seeing her like this, Li Bochen gritted his teeth: "I can also imagine that you and Tao Gong are not happy there. Linxi Jun should have taken you in for Li Ding's sake, but you are not his confidants after all. This time he When I asked you to come to my place, I must have sent you an errand. You were also worried that the errand was not done well. Will he blame you when you return?"
Tao Chunxi suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes: "I didn't! I...Brother Li, I didn't..."
Li Bochen forced a smile: "It's okay, I know you don't have that intention. You know that I am the spirit master, and Linxi Jun is suspicious that my spirit master is not someone else's, but Beichen's. Maybe he wanted to borrow it from you. You can try to find out from me - but Chunxi, I can tell you that I am not."
Tao Chunxi was stunned: "Then...then why didn't you tell him?"
Li Bochen laughed: "Will he believe it if you tell me?"
"However, there is a way to convince him." Li Bochen paused and whispered, "Although I am not Beichen's spiritual master, I do have Beichen's relics. With this thing, I can really get Beichen's luck."
Tao Chunxi bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Brother Li... why are you telling me this?"
"In order to ask you to bring this relic to Li Shengyi." Li Bochen sighed heavily in his heart, then clenched his fist and pinched his palm, "I didn't originally intend to be the Beichen Spirit Master. Let's not mention that I am already a secret spirit. The spiritual master, just say now - I came to Mengjiatun and got help from many people. I felt that I could do a lot, but now I am still in this situation. If Mengjiatun is near the west, Li Shengyi will definitely do it You have to be better than me - I have figured it out, I am only suitable for charging into battle, and I am really not suitable for being a hero."
"So you bring this thing to Li Shengyi." He slowly took out the bead from his arms and spread it in his palm. "It is a great achievement for you to bring this thing back. In the future, you can also go to Linxi Got a foothold.”
Tao Chunxi stared at the bead and said nothing for a long time. He suddenly took a step back: "I...can't do it...I really didn't come here for this!"
Li Bochen sighed: "Even if it's not to help yourself, you should consider it to be to help me. Chunxi, do you know why Sui Wu Jiu is here?"
Tao Chunxi shook her head.
"Now we are trapped here by hundreds of thousands of monsters. No one can leave. If this continues, everyone will die. So when Sui Wujiu came, he should have the same idea as me - to assassinate the monster commander of this army. . Once the demon spirit dies, the demon beasts will inevitably be in chaos, and everyone will have a way to survive. But in this matter, there is almost no chance of death. You don’t want me to bring this thing with me, and the people from the demon country will get it, right? Even if I take it If it is left to others and falls into the wrong hands, wouldn't it be better than giving it to Li Shengyi?"
Tao Chunxi was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Her lips trembled, but she didn't know what to say.
Li Boxen stepped forward, took one of her hands, and stuffed the beads into her palm: "It's also because if you and Qin Le go to Linxi, if you encounter danger on the way or if he abandons you, you can tell him If you have this thing, he won't ignore you."
Tao Chunxi shed tears. She held the beads tightly and pushed her hand into Li Boxen's hand: "Is there no other way? Think of other ways... Why don't you wait for someone to rescue you?"
Li Bochen also shook her hand: "Tell Li Shengyi that this thing is the flesh and blood of Beichen before he became a Taoist. If he wants to be Beichen's successor, he will eat this thing."
Tao Chunxi cried at the top of her voice, looking at a loss. She seemed to want to return the bead, but her hand held it tightly. Li Bochen felt that he could understand her feelings - what she said was true, and she really didn't want to take away anything from herself and ask for credit from Li Shengyi. But she is also an ordinary girl. She doesn't want to ask herself to kill demon spirits, but she is also afraid that she will die here... She doesn't know what to do.
The words I just said were all sincere. He hoped that the Tao family could temporarily gain a foothold in Linxi with this thing, and he also believed that if he survived and Li Shengyi really ate the beads, he would definitely not let Li Shengyi notice something was wrong and implicate them.
But after all, he is using her now. As he spoke, Li Boxen felt that he had become a little strange now, and felt a little disdainful of himself. However, he knew that asking Tao Chunxi to take this thing back was far better than Qin Le - those words he said to Tao Chunxi were reasonable and reasonable, but saying them to Qin Le was a bit suspicious. Moreover, at this time - before assassinating the demon spirit - the opportunity was too rare. Li Shengyi had no reason to suspect that she would still think of "plotting" against him before she died.
What kind of person am I now? Li Bochen whispered in his heart, how are they compared to Sui Wu Jiu? Maybe when Sui Wujiu wanted to kill me, he had as many reasons to convince himself as I do now.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Keep this thing close to your body. Chunxi, if I survive, we will see you in Linxi."
After saying that, he strode out. Tao Chunxi did not follow him and was still crying. Li Bochen forced himself not to listen to her voice, and walked back to the three of them with a sullen face. Qin Le glanced at Dashi, wondering what he was thinking.
Li Bochen then said to Sui Wujiu: "Mr. Sui, you came here for the purpose of finding a way out."
Sui Wujiu glanced at Ying Yi. Li Bochen also looked at him: "Your business——"
"Say it." Ying Yi spread his hands, "I'm from the ghost tribe, it's no big deal. But, in order to help you bring people back, I alarmed the monsters just now, and I can't go back. You really have to do this I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to help with that matter.”
Sui Wujiu's eyes flashed, he stared at Ying Ge, then turned to Li Bochen, and finally said: "I'll take a step to speak."
