When the two of them walked out of the valley, it turned out that Xie didn't catch up with them again. Only then did Yang Baoping feel that the feeling of light on her back disappeared. She whispered: "...are we just leaving like this?"
Li Boxen said: "Do you still want its cubs?"
"That's not what you're talking about..." Yang Baoping was speechless for a moment, so he had to say, "Then... what should we do in the future? Just keep this thing here?"
Li Bochen turned to look at the mountain and whispered: "Let's think about it in the long term. It is a spiritual being and cannot be regarded as a wild beast or a monster. If there is a way to make it become our friend, the Rakshasa around us should not dare to Come looking for trouble—that’s a lot better than killing it.”
Yang Baoping remained silent, wondering what he was thinking. At this time, the two of them had reached the snowfield. It was still snowing lightly when they came, but the snow stopped at this time. On a vast white plain, one can see a protruding black shadow in the distance, which is the hill where Black Leaf Castle is located.
Yang Baoping said before that he wanted a ferocious cub, but after seeing how powerful the thing was just now, he gave up the idea now. After all, she is also a leader and knows the general picture. After thinking about what Li Bochen said carefully, he felt that it made sense, so he said: "Okay, then I'll do as you say - anyway, you have the final say in major matters."
But after saying this, Li Bochen stopped and only looked to the west. She was startled and thought to herself, was that ferocious guy coming again? Then he looked over there.
To the west was a plain, and as far as the eye could see there was nothing but white. She was about to ask a question when she heard Li Boxen say: "Go back first."
Yang Baoping usually listened to Li Bochen's words with gentle words and always had a smile on his face. But at this time, his tone was unprecedentedly serious, and he didn't even look at her when he spoke. He just stared to the west, as if facing a formidable enemy. But she had gotten rid of the panic when she met Xie just now, and became the bold and careful "General Yang" again, so she was only stunned for a moment and said: "Is it Xie?"
Li Boxen shook his head and hesitated for a moment: "An old friend."
However, listening to his tone, I'm afraid this "old friend" is not someone to get along with. Yang Baoping was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you want my help?"
Li Boxen said: "He must have been watching us for a while. If he wanted to harm me, he should have taken action just now. Don't worry."
Yang Baoping nodded and looked at him deeply: "Okay."
When Yang Baoping gradually disappeared, Li Boxen took a breath and walked towards the west.
In fact, it was to the west, rather to the right of where he was just now - he stopped after walking a dozen steps and said in a deep voice: "We meet again."
——There was a person standing in front of him. This man is an old man, with white hair pulled up, a wooden hairpin, and hemp clothes and mango shoes. He looks like an old farmer. He is none other than Shang Jun, the leader of the martial arts sect that Li Boxen met a few months ago.
In fact, he was standing here just now, but when Yang Baoping looked this way, he couldn't see anything. He didn't know what mysterious magic he had used.
Shang Jun smiled slightly, looked in the direction of Black Leaf Fort and said, "After two or three months, General Li has indeed laid a foundation in the north."
This man had forced him to run away from the Six Kingdoms, but now he was chasing him. I don't know what he was thinking. Li Bochen could summon the spiritual god to come to the world, but he was not sure whether the man beside the Qianjiang River could deal with the living god on earth in front of him. So he could only say in a deep voice: "The leader is here, do you have any other advice?"
But Shang Jun turned his head and looked at the mountain where Xie lived, and said: "It's not that you have no way to kill it, why don't you kill it?"
After hearing this, Li Bochen had an idea in his mind - he already knew what I was doing by the Qianjiang River. He let himself go that day, seemingly because he only thought he was a spiritual master, but knowing what happened that night, it was not difficult to deduce his identity based on his intelligence. Are you here today to clear up the roots for Li Shengyi?
But these days, Li Shengyi prayed and reported everything to him, so he shouldn't have noticed anything unusual!
Li Bochen's mind was spinning, but he couldn't think of any clues for a while, so he just said: "God has the virtue of good life. If you are a good spiritual creature, don't kill it if you can."
Shang Jun burst out laughing: "What a good God with good virtues!"
He suppressed his smile again, with no sadness or joy on his face: "But as Beichen, you are in charge of life and death, how can you have such a benevolent heart?"
As soon as he said these words, Li Bochen felt instantly at peace. Even Xiaoman and Feng Xuejian don't know that he is Beichen. It is his biggest secret. But at this time, the secret was finally no longer a secret in front of Shang Jun. Li Bochen felt that all the burden was lifted from his body, and even his back straightened.
He also laughed: "Does Mr. Shang know about this? Yes, I am Beichen!"
Shang Jun's expression remained unchanged, still staring at him. Li Bochen thought, oh, he is waiting for me to tell him how I developed such benevolence. He originally had some resentment towards Mr. Shang, and he still does so to this day. But now that the other party knows his secret, he is the only one in the world who can speak freely to him at this moment. He then smiled and sighed and said: "Benevolence is the human heart. Since I am still a human being, how can I not be benevolent? Master Shang, you have learned the art and it is also a temporary trend. Isn't it for the benefit of people in the world? Kindhearted?"
Shang Jun smiled slightly: "Mortals can be benevolent, but as Beichen you cannot. In the future, you will be in charge of life and death. Is it possible that you want to be a kind and kind god of wealth?"
Li Bochen sneered and said, "What's wrong with that? You've seen the world today, and you know how I conquered the Rakshasa. With just one word and an oath, the Rakshasa who was so vicious and cruel yesterday wanted to kill me quickly. , will bow to me in a few days. Is such a thing still a human being? And what about the people of the six countries? Do they really want what they think? The two sides have fought for thousands of years and shed countless blood. What is it for? They are not for the livelihood of the land. , but just because gods and demons 'want this' - if I really become the real Beichen one day, I will never want such a life!"
Li Boxen thought Shang Jun would be angry after hearing this, but he thought about it and said, "So you want a world where everyone has free will, the rule of law is prosperous, and it is fair and just?"
Li Bochen's eyes paused for a long time before he said: "Yes, but the people of this world are not enlightened, and all I want is a long-term plan. Master Shang should also come from a very different world. Don't you miss the way it was there?"
After he said this, he saw Shang Jun's eyes sparkling with excitement. The two were silent for a long time, only listening to the strong north wind between heaven and earth. Then Shang Jun sighed slightly: "Where are you from?"
