Chapter 280: Arrangement
A few months ago, he had seen a "living" third-order demon beast for the first time, but he had naturally heard of this thing in the Northern Plains before. There are many races of monsters, and they come in different forms. The first-order demon beast will not change greatly when it is cultivated to the second-order form, but it will just have some more magical powers. This kind of demon beast is actually a bit like a "monk" among ordinary people.
But when it reaches the third order, it becomes that thin and tall black shadow. Li Bochen once heard people with high cultivation in the army say that perhaps it was because the aura in the demon beast's body was chaotic, so it became a blob. You have to wait until you have cultivated to the fourth order and become a demon spirit before you can transform into a human form. At that time, Li Bochen once thought that the "aura chaos" in their mouths could not be "genetic chaos", so it was like that.
But as for why he could transform into a human form at the fourth order, he didn't understand it at that time. Now that I've heard Bi Hai's words, I think it's not unusual if what he said is true—this is a higher cultivation and going in the direction of the original ghost clan, right? The ghost clan looks no different from people.
At this thought, Li Bochen felt a little frightened - at first he didn't believe Bi Hai's words, but during this time, he felt more and more that many things could really be explained by his words.
But now is not the time to think about that. He was now integrated with the incarnation, and he felt that his spiritual power was full of great powers, so a wisp of divine thought was born in his heart, and he followed the connection between him and Zhu Hou, and explored the past as before.
He had communicated with Zhu Hou once last night, and knew that he had fled into the mountains with dozens of living dead and hundreds of Yin soldiers, and now when he looked at Zhu Hou again, he saw him sitting under an old tree, surrounded by more than a dozen living dead people, who were cutting their hair.
Zhu Hou's hair was scattered, and now he should try to tie it up again. But as soon as I brushed my hand, the hair fell out one by one. When I saw him last night, the light was dim and I didn't see it clearly, but now I have seen it carefully - Zhu Hou's face was blue, and there were several long cuts on his body, which were not bandaged, but no blood seeped out again.
Zhu Hou must be dead. But perhaps something had changed because of the fusion of his soul with the Mountain Monarch before, and he himself had become a living dead with his soul bound - did he realize this?
But...... That's a good thing.
Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hou." ”
Zhu Hou stood up and looked around: "Zhenjun!? Are you here! What should I do now? The city that I finally won is gone!"
Li Bochen said slowly: "That city, is it more important than your life?"
Zhu Hou shouted: "Zhenjun, isn't it true that people live just to make meritorious contributions!
Li Bochen said: "How do you know that you are still alive now?"
Zhu Hou was stunned: "Huh?"
He really didn't realize it. Li Bochen said, "You are dead." Your life should have been taken away from the Netherworld a long time ago. But because it is my spirit master, it is not the Sixth Emperor from now on - it is up to me whether or not to stay in this world. ”
Zhu Hou rubbed his face and pounded his chest. His face was already blue, and it was difficult to see where to go at this time, but he took a step back and sat on the ground, muttering, "Dead?
"But it's a good thing that you can move as freely as the living corpses around you, and that you don't fear the sword soldiers. ”
After a while, Zhu Hou rolled his eyes to look at the living dead, frowned and exclaimed, "What's the good thing!? These things stink! Zhenjun, are you saying that I will stink like them in the future!?"
He jerked to his feet and kicked one of them—the living dead immediately fell to the ground. Zhu Hou grabbed the knife that rolled the blade on the side and slashed at the corpse, and one arm was cut open with a big mouth, only to see that there was no blood in it, but all pus, and the maggots of the white flowers spread out from the pus, crawling all over the ground.
Zhu Hou shouted: "Is it like this, is your body full of maggots!?"
This person is really unchangeable, and he dares to be wild in front of his true monarch. But Li Bochen still said: "You don't like this tangible body, do you still want to be a spirit god?"
Zhu Hou was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something. Sure enough, after a while, he suddenly calmed down, threw away the knife, and knelt on the ground: "Ask the true monarch for blessing!"
It was also as Li Bochen expected. This Zhu Hou's divine consciousness has not only merged with the former mountain monarch here, but also may have some vague and hazy memories. He mentioned the word "spirit god", and the temperament of the mountain monarch in Zhu Hou's body instantly prevailed.
Li Bochen said: "You have to be a spiritual god, which is both a blessing and a disaster. Now that there is no god in this Tu Mountain, you can be the king of a land, are you willing?"
Zhu Hou raised his head and said in a low voice: "This ...... True Monarch, it's not that I don't want to, but the Mountain Monarch here is the Beichen Emperor—"
Li Bochen immediately shouted: "This monarch can take your yin spirit from Beichen, can't you still seal a mountain monarch?
Zhu Hou hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, but the true monarch ......"
At this point, perhaps after all, he remembered that "there is a difference between man and god", so he had to say again: "Okay, being a mountain king is better than being a living dead - Zhenjun, then what should I do?"
When Li Bochen heard what he said, he thought to himself that this Zhu Hou was a big bandit leader, and it was really difficult to tame. He wanted to make him the king of the mountain, but he actually wanted to use him as a pawn - since the demon beast also wanted to fight the idea of the position of the king of the mountain, he asked him to make trouble first. Zhu Hou shouldn't be the opponent of that demon spirit, but at least he can find a little opportunity for himself.
When he was thinking about this before, he was still a little unhappy in his heart - although he had always been interested in using Zhu Houcun, but he also thought that this person had helped him a lot, and such a pit was a bit too much.
But now I understand that although this guy is easy to use, it doesn't last long. If he really knows more and has some skills in the future, the worst result may be to devour the master. If he confesses to this mountain this time, it will be regarded as a calamity and atonement for the evil things he has done in the past.
But even so, Li Bochen couldn't help but think - the Black Sky Demon King said that he was practicing demon god methods...... Are you getting closer and closer to the Demon Path?【Note 1】
He sighed in his heart, and then said nonsense: "Go find a blood sacrifice for Benjun first." It wants the essence blood of tigers, leopards, and jackals, and the core wood of century-old trees. A day later, at this time, it is enshrined here, and the incense is made of plants and trees. ”
Zhu Hou responded, but his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But he should soon be gone, and Li Bochen didn't bother to guess, so he took the magic power and returned to the Arctic crape myrtle sky.
After arranging Zhu Hou's affairs, now he has to arrange his own affairs - to leave a way to live in the worst case.
