The huge demon god I saw before has disappeared, and there seems to be a depression in the middle of the valley, with traces of black mist steaming outward. Li Bochen calmed down at the edge of the valley. After the reverberation of the cracking earth and rocks gradually dissipated and the buzzing in his ears stopped, he gradually realized that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
In fact, one could still hear the sound of frightened beasts scurrying and howling in the distance, and even vaguely felt that they could hear the sound of armored vehicles driving this way. But these sounds were far and near, like auditory hallucinations or gibbering in sleep. Li Boxen couldn't tell whether there was something wrong with his hearing due to the influence of the loud noise just now.
His attention at this time was focused on the depression in the valley. He couldn't see what was going on inside from here, but he knew that the strong man who defeated the Demon Spirit King Xishan and the Demon God Prison Choulangbu should be there.
The premonition of fatal crisis still exists, and that person should still be alive. Li Boxen knew that turning around and running away was not a good option. With that man's magical power, he would be able to sense that he was nearby. If he really wanted to harm himself - he would rather die than be killed on the way to escape. Fight.
Therefore, after waiting for a while and still not seeing the man coming out of the depression, Li Bochen stepped over.
By the time he reached the edge of the depression, the black fog had dissipated. He looked down and saw a man rummaging through the earth and rocks to pick something up. In his impression, a strong man who could defeat demon spirits and possessed demons must be as majestic as Sui Wujiu. But the man in front of him surprised him - he was wearing short brown linen trousers, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and his sleeves were rolled up. Her hair was gray, simply pulled into a bun with a wooden hairpin. Looking at the way he was rummaging around, he looked more like an old farmer, without any strong demeanor.
In fact, Li Bochen already had some inferences about the identity of the visitor. It can be seen that he was not sure about his appearance for a while.
At this time, the old man didn't raise his head and just said: "Is it General Li? Just in time, come and help me find the head of the demon spirit. As you know, this thing may not die after its body was blown apart."
This person does not act according to common sense. But it's better than killing people directly. Li Bochen calmed down, looked him over again, and then said: "Okay."
After saying that, he stepped on the edge of the pit and jumped down in a few steps. Such a valley originally had two or three peaks, and this depression was in the middle of the valley. It was actually not very small, as big as four or five Tao family houses. And even this area was blasted out by the old man.
Therefore, Li Bochen stopped a few steps away from him, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency killed the demon spirit that led the army, which is an immeasurable merit for the people of the world."
Now we were very close to the old man, so we could see his appearance more clearly, and realized that this man did not look like an "old farmer" at all. There are naturally some deep wrinkles on his face, but his skin is not saggy and decayed at all, but is as smooth as gold and stone. Although the gray hair was pulled into a "simple" bun, there was not even a trace of stray hair. Every hair felt like a steel wire. Although he was bending down to pick up the debris, none of the dust stirred up could get to him, and he was forced to move away.
Li Boxen realized that this was because of the extremely high level of cultivation - with each level advanced, the physical body became more powerful. Legend has it that when one reaches the highest level of cultivation, the realm of reborn god, he is already a veritable spiritual god in the living world. His body is immortal and incorruptible, just like a deity. Even if one day his death comes, his remains can still be preserved for thousands of years without any damage.
In this world, as far as he knows, there is only one person who has cultivated to the realm of Shengshen - Shang Jun, the leader of the magic religion.
The old man turned to look at him and said with a smile: "This is not a lie. But General Li can protect a people, which is also a meritorious deed. However, there is something more sinister than the Demon Kingdom going south - I actually came here for this. Come on. As for killing the demon spirits, it’s just a matter of convenience. Oh, general, don’t be in a daze, carefully tell the demon spirits to escape.”
"Something more sinister." After hearing these words, Li Bochen couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This person knows that he is nearby, knows his name and appearance, and even knows that he has led people to escape from the secret realm... It can be seen that he has been "taking care" of him for a long time.
The "more sinister things" he mentioned were most likely related to him.
While he was thinking this, he bent down to search among the earth and rocks. It should be easy for this person to kill or control him, but what does it mean to say these words now?
He then said: "Your Excellency, you must be the Master of Shang, right?"
The old man smiled and said: "Exactly."
"What is the more sinister thing the leader said?"
Shang Jun said: "General Li must have thought about it. For example, last night, a demon god actually incarnated in the living world - since ancient times, spiritual gods have spiritual things, and the living world has things in the living world. The reason why the six emperors established Netherworld, and the three The reason why the Demon Lord established the Demon Realm was because he didn’t want to see humans, gods, and demons in the living world fighting together, causing great disaster. But what about now? The Demon Kingdom’s Spiritual God actually set this precedent - compared to the Demon Clan going south, Zheng It’s something more sinister.”
Li Bochen found a strand of red hair in the soil. He picked up the hair and pulled it, and found that it was a little heavy: "Master Shang came here because he sensed the devil coming into the world and eliminated the devil?"
Shang Jun said: "It is not the devil's coming to the world. The spirit god has its own world outside the world of life. If he comes in his true form, he cannot go back. What is attached to the demon spirit is just an incarnation of the devil. But there is also some power of the devil. But this incarnation is also part of the true spirit of the devil. If you kill an incarnation, the true spirit will be weaker."
"If it is true that the Black Sky Demon King Jian Chou Langbu abandoned the true spirit of that world and came to the world, it would be a lucky thing that I was not killed by it. However, it is not just to eliminate demons." Shang Jun straightened up. Looking at Li Boxen, "General Li has a better eye. Find him out."
Li Bochen grabbed his hair and pulled hard, and a head was pulled out.
The head was covered with dust, but as soon as it lifted off the ground, four pairs of eyes opened on its face and blinked continuously. Li Bochen felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this must be the head of Demon King Xishan.
The head said: "For the sake of the Yin Spirit and the Golden Spirit that I gave you, please General Li kill me!"
Shang Jun remained silent and looked at Li Boxen.
This move made Li Boxen's heart skip a beat - what does this mean? Are you wondering if you will listen to this demon spirit? He handed over the head: "Master Shang, are you going to send this head to Tianzi Ji? I heard that the leader is always with the emperor, so now the five countries know that the monster has crossed Dangtu Mountain?"
Shang Jun reached out to take the head and put it in his arms. The head of this demon spirit was about the same size as a human head, but as soon as he put it in his arms, it suddenly disappeared. It was really an unimaginable magical power.
"You know, you know." Shang Jun only said this, and then looked at Li Boxen, "I am not here just to eliminate demons, but also to defend the Tao. The Lord of Chebei, Sui Wujiu, also appeared last night. Although I don’t know where he got this method from, his behavior is no different from that of evil heretics. Although he wanted to stop the demon spirit, he had to kill it. Fortunately, he was defeated by the demon spirit first. With it in my hands, I won’t have to be a bad person anymore.”
After saying this, he took out a piece of broken armor from his arms: "I only found this thing when I arrived. It should be Duke Chebei's armor. After all, he is a Duke with the surname of King, and he also died fighting monsters. He deserves to be Let him have a grand burial. I thought the feng shui of this place was not bad, so I blasted out this valley, which can be used as his palace in the underworld. General Li, what do you think?"
Li Bochen still didn't know what he wanted to say, so he could only say: "It's really not bad."
Shang Jun turned over his hand and drove the piece of armor into the ground, and then said: "There are several good places in this mountain. General Li, you can choose one too."
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Since Master Shang is the one who eliminates demons and protects the Tao, why did he do it to me? I, Li Bochen, ask myself that I am not a saint, but I am not a villain either."
Shang Jun looked at him and said: "Don't General Li not know that he is also a spirit master? Spirit masters in the world are mostly possessed by mysterious spirits and luck, and everyone can kill them. Although the world has declined in recent years, people's hearts have not changed. But here, this is considered evil."
If this man really had murderous intentions, there would be no way for him to survive. But listening to his tone and looking at his demeanor, Li Bochen felt that this business leader might not be the kind of person who thinks of human life as nothing more than an ant. Otherwise, there would not be such an enlightened atmosphere in the academic world.
Moreover, he had chatted with himself a few times before... Could it be that he was hesitating originally, but this time he was testing whether he should kill him or not?
Li Boxen gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Master Shang, if a person is a spiritual master, does that mean he must be bad? Li thinks that when judging something, one should judge one thing by one's deeds and not one's heart. When it comes to heart, there is no perfect person in the world. Besides, the leaders of the Six Kingdoms are said to be blessed by the luck of the emperors, but aren’t they also spiritual masters?”
I don't know what the reason was, but Shang Jun's face moved slightly. He thought for a moment and said: "You dare to talk about the emperors like this. It seems that you are indeed the master of the secret spirit. As for whether you care about your deeds but not your heart...this statement does make sense."
"Then let me ask you, did you come up with the idea of adding tracks to armored vehicles yourself?"
Has this reached his ears? Li Bochen originally talked about this matter in Zhangcheng Shu in order to compete with Sui Zi'ang. In fact, he regretted it after saying it, thinking it was too ostentatious. At this time, when Shang Jun asked, he thought carefully in his heart and said, "Yes and no. Master Shang should know that the Beiyuan is covered with ice and snow. Sometimes to transport heavy objects, you have to use a sled and sledge - the sled sledge is made of Two wide bottom plates hold up the snow, so I came up with the track, but I just picked up the wisdom of my predecessors."
Shang Jun had a soft look on his face at this time: "The first thing you asked me just now was whether the emperor was aware of the situation here. General Li, it seems that you are really a loyal and righteous man. The tracks were originally Why not dedicate it to the emperor? Then you don’t need to be trapped in this mountain like now."
Li Boxen said: "I'm not doing it for fame and fortune. I just want less people to die."
Shang Jun nodded and said: "I have a general understanding of your character. This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Anyway, I can give you a way out, but the condition is that you can no longer set foot south of Dangtu Mountain."
