It didn't take long for the moat to be crowded with monsters. At first, those who fell into the water were eaten, and finally those who came back did not dare to come forward. Those things were piled together in the dark, and Li Bochen couldn't see clearly, but he could see clearly when he was closer.

He used to think it was all demons, but now he sees otherwise. I had seen the old woman eating chicken among them, but she was surrounded by a group of small monsters, all of whom looked like human heads, unclothed, with fine gray hair, and screaming in a hoarse voice. From time to time, one or two of the arms were born, and they saw that there were flying feathers under the arms, and they soared into the air for a while, and went up to the sky crookedly.

But as soon as they flew out of more than ten meters, something poked out of the demons to catch them, and there was another scramble.

That old woman is a demon, can't those little things be her descendants?

At this time, a white light suddenly rushed up to the sky from the top of the mountain, and when it encountered some invisible barrier, it spread out in all directions, turning into thunder snakes and rumbling. I heard a man shouting, "Stand down!"

It was Zhu Hou's voice.

As soon as the thunder sounded, the roars of the demons were lowered. The white light shook like a kite string, causing an electric snake to swim towards the river at the zenith. I heard Zhu Hou drink again: "Die!"

The electric snake suddenly turned into a thunderbolt and slashed down with a bang. The demons were overturned, and they screamed miserably for a while, gouging out their ears like knives.

After this blow, some of the monsters retreated, but some lingered by the river and did not leave, roaring to the opposite side. I heard Zhu Hou drink again: "Get out!"

Another white light shot straight into the sky, and then it became a thundercloud. It's just that the electric snakes in the thundercloud just now are tumbling endlessly, which is very terrifying, but now there are only a dozen, flashing brightly and secretly, and they look weak.

Rao was like this, and the remaining monsters by the river were also startled, and then retreated.

The electric snake slowly dispersed, and Zhu Hou didn't make a sound. After a while, more than 100 soldiers in armor went down the mountain, each armed with a sword and a spear along the river.

Li Bochen saw this scene, but he felt very familiar. When I got there, an apparition followed, and it was also a thunderbolt from the zenith that scattered the phantom. It's just that the scale and power of this place are much smaller than his own.

His heart moved, and while calling the Yin soldiers to protect him, the Yin Spirit went out of his body, and with a flick of his wrist, he summoned Ye Chengchou out, and asked, "Ye Chengchou, your former sect was the Three Old Caves, do you have any secret realms there?"

Ye Chengchou heard what he said, looked around, and said, "Huh, this is a secret realm? Li Bochen, you are really a calamity, which one has caused disaster? Fortunately, the secret realm of my Sanlao Cave was dispersed a long time ago, otherwise I would have to be poisoned by you!"

He really knew the secret realm. Li Bochen said: "Tell me about this." ”

Ye Chengchou said: "Wishful thinking! How can such a secret be told to you!?"

Li Bochen said in his heart, if only he asked him to be grateful to himself before he died, he would not be so grinding. But he didn't speak, and after a while, Ye Chengchou said again: "But it's good for you to know the scenery of my Sanlao Dongtian in the past, you know that you can win me, it's really a fluke!"

"My Sanlao Dongtian was also a big faction in the past, so naturally he set up a secret realm. This kind of thing is like the 'realm' of the heavens and gods, but it is only on the earth. ”

Li Bochen heard this, and while looking at the riverside, he said, "Oh, I know. It's set up according to the local climate. ”

Sure enough, Ye Chengchou immediately said: "Hmph, I don't know the other! Mortals are not emperors, how can they mobilize the luck of mountains, rivers, rivers and seas for a long time? If you want to do this, you have to think of this secret realm as a person - also set up some meridians and knots, so that the earth qi runs in it, and it is self-contained, so that the secret realm can be counted. ”

He nodded around again, pointed out a few, and said, "Do you see? These places are the key to this secret realm, where the earth qi circulates back and forth, and becomes the meridians again." It's just that this kind of thing is made of manpower after all, and it needs people to maintain it. Later, my three old cave celestial people withered, and no one took care of the secret realm, and after a few decades, the earth qi in the secret realm slowly dispersed, and the secret realm was gone. ”

When Li Bochen heard this, he suddenly felt a clear understanding in his mind - Ye Chengchou said that he wanted to make the secret realm into a person, and also set up the meridian pass, isn't this the mantra that his grandfather taught him before!?

At that time, he was only thinking on his own, and he really didn't have a clue. But now that you are in a secret realm, even if you can't match it all, you can also draw inferences from each other and understand it greatly easier to watch the operation of the earth qi in this secret realm.

He was overjoyed in his heart, but he still pressed it for the time being, and said, "Oh, then what's going on with these demons here?

Ye Chengchou said: "You build a secret realm in the mountains to mobilize the earth's qi, is it true that the mountain monarch and the earth master are decorations? Naturally, you have to get their permission." You have built a secret realm, you have to have someone to guard the mountain, right? It is also common to send a few soldiers to the mountain king. ”

"Or invite a monster in, or just raise some beasts. In the secret realm, the circulation of earth qi is much faster than elsewhere, that is, ordinary beasts stay for a long time, and they will inevitably open their minds and become demons, but there will definitely not be so many here. In my opinion, this place must have been deserted for a long time, and there was originally a hidden elixir, which was stolen by demons or beasts. If no one cares, they will naturally multiply a lot if they follow their hearts to cultivate in this secret realm. ”

Maybe that's the case. Li Bochen said again: "According to what you say, it is easy to become a demon in the secret realm, and there should be a lot of abandoned secret realms in Li Kingdom, why don't you see demons everywhere?"

Ye Chengchou said: "What are you putting in your head? These demons are not cultivated in heaven and earth, they just rely on this secret realm. If one day the secret realm is dispersed, they return to heaven and earth, and their own aura will also be dispersed - isn't this the same as human dispersal work? Those who can't stand it will die!"

Li Bochen sighed and said, "Okay, you're smart—is there anything in this secret realm that can mobilize the earth's qi to defend against the enemy?"

Ye Chengchou was stunned: "Huh, how do you know? Hmph, it must be—"

When he said this, Li Bochen shook his hand and took him away.

In this way, Zhu Hou is using something in the secret realm to control the thunder in the sky. Then this secret realm is very much like a shrunken "realm". However, Zhu Hou should not be good enough, and he only used it once, and he lacked stamina.

He originally wanted to capture Zhu Hou here. But looking at the mountain, there seemed to be one or two hundred soldiers, and Zhu Hou had obtained a treasure weapon, so it would be difficult to take him. However, Li Bochen had another idea - he said that he wanted to take the armor car of the Xuanwu army, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu felt that it was difficult to do, and they were quite perfunctory.

Now that we know that this secret realm is in such a situation, we can do a miracle plan.

Li Bochen looked around, sneaked to a cluster of rocks by the river, and found a stone nest to hide. He also set up the Yin soldiers around to guard, and watched those soldiers confront the demons across the river. After about two hours, the demons saw that there was no benefit, and they dispersed, and the basin returned to peace, and the soldiers also went up the mountain.

After holding on for a while, seeing that the fire on the mountain was slowly extinguished, Li Bochen went out of his body and swept towards the mountain.

He was a yin god at this time, and his eyesight was affected by the night, but when he swept through the grass, he still didn't find any monsters, and he didn't know how they were hiding. Walking up from the water, he could only see one or two miserable white faces, and he seemed to be able to detect him and hurriedly avoided him.

After going up the mountain, walk up the stone steps to the top of the mountain. I saw that the bandits were all lying on the ground in armor, some of them were asleep, and some of them were whispering. He stood down and listened, and many of them talked about food, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten enough for several days. There are also people complaining, regretting that they came to the mountains with Zhu Hou, saying that if they knew this, it would be better to go to the rivers and lakes to be happy.

When he heard this, he was even more assured.

To the north is a rock wall, with three towers built against the rock wall, all four stories high, of stone, perhaps of local materials. In front of the tower stood two listless soldiers, their spears on the ground, clutching the barrels of their guns as if they were about to fall asleep.

The doorway of the tower was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Li Bochen slowed down, raised his hand and tried inside the door, but he didn't find any prohibitions, and walked in.

The first floor of the tower is an empty hall with circular staircases on both sides leading to the second floor. In the hall are placed a number of cases, some scattered classics. Zhu Hou was sitting behind the case, wearing iron armor and a black helmet, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was breathing with luck.

The iron armor had been seen before, but the black helmet was a little strange. There was a vigorous black tassel on the top of the helmet, hanging over the shoulders, and there was no decoration on the helmet, but it was black and shiny, and the mirror surface was general. The armor below was covered with a thick layer of black hair, like a lion's mane.

This helmet looks very powerful when he wears it, but Zhu Hou is wearing shiny fish scale armor, which looks top-heavy in comparison. Li Bochen said in his heart, he doesn't deserve to wear this thing, but it would be better to put it together with my black armor.

But this helmet looks so strange that it must not be ordinary. Ye Chengchou said that there should be something in the secret realm that can mobilize the earth's qi, maybe it is this helmet. Otherwise, it's April now, and it's very warm in this secret realm, why does Zhu Hou wear this thing on his head?

He only had one arm left, but his face looked fine. Squinted his eyes slightly for a moment, opened his eyes, and looked straight at Li Bochen.

Li Bochen was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, did this person cultivate any method to find me?

But I heard Zhu Hou speak: "Hmph, the surname Wang? There were so many Wang surnames in the past, and not all of them are dead." ”

He also said: "Feng Shui takes turns. Then Beichen may also die, why can't I come out?"

This person is really bold! Obviously, he is cultivating the Beichen lineage, but he dares to say that Beichen is dead. But Li Bochen is happy to see him like this - Zhu Hou is really ambitious. Now that I have a broken arm, I have more resentment in my heart, and I want to get ahead even more!

He waited with peace of mind. After listening to Zhu Hou say a few more cruel words and breathe for a while, he slowly reclined on the ground, made a pillow with the helmet, and fell asleep.

Li Bochen immediately shook his wrist, released the iron rope, and hooked it towards Zhu Hou.

When he was in the Tao Mansion before, Yin Cha used this iron cable to hook out the evil spirit that possessed him, but at this time, Li Bochen went to hook Zhu Hou's Yin Spirit, but it was a little harder. After all, Zhu Hou has cultivation in his body, and the yin spirit has aura to protect his body, so he feels that the iron rope seems to be glued to him, and when his mind moves, he can only see a dark green humanoid silhouette slightly away from his body, and his face is dull.

Li Bochen tried to speak: "Do you know who I am?"

The half-separated Yin Spirit rolled his eyes in a daze, slurred his speech, and said, "No...... I don't know ......."

That's it. What he was thinking about before was "dreaming". In the past, when I was half-asleep and half-awake, I would also feel like my mind was in a trance. When ordinary people dream, some of their perceptions of the real world are often biased. For example, if it is unreasonable, in the dream, I feel that the logic is perfect and very certain, and it seems that this is also the case with this Zhu Hou's Yin Spirit.

He said, "I am the world of the ten directions, and I fear the true monarch. Zhu Hou, do you know that the heavens are in turmoil now, and it is the day when the hero is born?"

Zhu Houdao: "Ying...... Heroes?"

Li Bochen said: "You are fulfilling the destiny of this monarch. Now in the Li Kingdom, Beichen has no way, and this monarch will replace him, can you wish to get this monarch's luck and be the lord of the world?"

Zhu Hou was confused for a while, and said, "I...... I ......"

Seeing him like this, he couldn't hold back any good words, so Li Bochen said again: "Listen well." To the east, there is a city named Xuansu. Your destiny is right there, you can do it yourself!"

After saying this, he let go of his hand, and Zhu Hou's yin spirit returned to his body.

Li Bochen collected the iron rope and circled around Zhu Hou again. He hooked him out before, in fact, he also wanted to see if there was anything else on him - Zhu Hou's temperament changed greatly, in fact, Li Bochen also had a speculation in his heart. It's just that looking at it now, it seems that there is only his own yin spirit, and there is nothing else.

Could it be that I was wrong?

He waited for a while, and Zhu Hou's head tilted, slipped off his helmet, and woke up suddenly.

He opened his eyes and looked around, sat up suddenly, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "...... Is it a dream?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's a dream, right?"

But it seemed that it was difficult to fall asleep, so he picked up his helmet and strode through the hall for a while, frowning. He walked back to the desk and lay down as he had just done. After lying down for a while, he sat up again and said, "This true monarch, if you really gave me a dream, then ask for another one!"

After saying this, he slowly lay down, and after a long time, he fell asleep again.

Li Bochen said in his heart, this person is really suspicious. But he waited for a while, and hooked half of his yin spirit out. Without waiting for Zhu Hou to speak, he immediately shouted: "This monarch gave you the apocalypse in the worlds, how dare you be so rude!?"

With that, he retracted his hand and put his Yin Spirit back.
