"How many worlds are the world?" He Chen suddenly asked, and when he heard the word "spirit world", he always felt that the world had begun to change because of the birth of something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The world always belongs to the secular world, but in this world, there is a category of people who are above the world, and the collection of such people is collectively called the spiritual world, and the spiritual world is divided into three categories: cultivation, demons, and ghosts." The Ghost King explained to He Chen.
"Oh!" He Chen nodded, it seems that the matter is not very big, and there are no gods or immortals.
The ghost king said: "According to the ancient legends, above the spirit world, there is a special world, called the fairy world, whether it is a person, a ghost or a demon, as long as the cultivation reaches a certain level, you can rise to the fairy world, but in the records of the ghost city, the fairy world is just a legend. ā
"In this way, take the liberty of asking, Your Excellency the Ghost King, are you a human or a ghost?" He Chen looked at the Ghost King and asked with some curiosity in his heart.
"It's not a human or a ghost, it's half human and half a ghost, we all are." The Ghost King was very honest and said with a smile.
He Chen asked with some confusion: "What do you mean by half human and half ghost?" ā
The Ghost King smiled and said, "A long, long time ago, we were all dead, and this body now is ...... through cultivation."
Before the Ghost King could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the witch, who said in surprise, "Reforge the flesh? ā
The ghost king shook his head and said, "No, it's just a special method to occupy the body of a person who has just died to be reborn, but because it is not his own body, he must use the power of the cathode of the ghost city to slowly fuse his soul and body with each other and become another person, so he is half human and half ghost." ā
"Oh! Reborn. The witch nodded in understanding.
The Ghost King smiled, "You can say that. ā
"Your Excellency the Ghost King, I don't know if you've ever heard of the Demon Domain?" He Chen asked.
The Ghost King thought for a moment and replied, "No. ā
"What about the Cloud Gate?" He Chen asked again.
The Ghost King pondered for a moment and replied: "Yunxiaomen, as if seen in some records of the ghost city, should be an ancient cultivator sect, when the first calamity in the world came, all the masters in the world should be robbed, and many things disappeared with it, including Yunxiaomen. ā
"What does the first calamity refer to, I don't know if Your Excellency the Ghost King knows?" He Chen asked.
"I don't know, there are very few records of that catastrophe." The Ghost King shook his head and said.
"What does that mean?" He Chen asked again.
The Ghost King said, "Later generations know very little about that calamity, and there are two theories about the calamity, one is that in that calamity, all the people disappeared, that is, they died; Another way of saying it is that some masters have worked together to open up a different space channel, and they left when the catastrophe came, I think the second may be a little higher, the ghost town was inherited after that catastrophe, if those masters can't avoid the catastrophe, then the weak ones can't avoid it, and everything should disappear together, so I think that the ancestors are gone, not dead. ā
"The inheritance of the ghost town, could it be a ghost town that was rebuilt after some people were sealed and the seal was lifted?" He Chen thought for a moment and asked.
The ghost king explained: "No, it is recorded that the remnants of the ghost city are in charge of the ghost city again, but there is one thing that no one understands so far, when the tribulation passes, some advanced exercises disappear with the ancestors and masters, and it is said that the ancestors and masters took it away, and there is a broken part, it is said that it was destroyed by people, but all the sects were destroyed at the same time, which is a bit unlikely, so the secret of the disappearance of the ancestors, countless people in the spirit world have been exploring, but after all, they still can't understand what the world tribulation was. After that event, when the second worldly tribulation came, in order not to lose something again, people thought of a way to seal it, and this is how we survived, but unfortunately what should be lost was lost after all. ā
"This sword that the Ghost King can recognize?" He Chen took the Chixiao Sword in Ji Bing's hand and asked.
The Ghost King stared at the Chixiao Sword for a long time, and suddenly said in surprise: "Chixiao Sword, the one in your hand is the Chixiao Sword." ā
"That's right, it's the Chixiao Sword, how much does the Ghost King know about this sword?" He Chen nodded, he was already sure in his heart that the Golden Whip did not know the Chixiao Sword, and he was able to just avoid the sharp edge of the Chixiao Sword, a natural reaction of one possible move, and the other could be the natural reaction of a martial artist.
"The treasure of the town faction of Yunxiaomen, I don't know the others, the legend has long been lost, I didn't expect to be able to see it again today, it seems that it is not only our ghost town that was born!" The Ghost King smiled and said.
"Does the Ming Hong Sword Ghost King know?" He Chen smiled, he could feel that Ji Bing's heart relaxed a lot, and it could be seen that the words of the ghost king had solved some of the doubts that had always existed in her heart.
"The Ancient Magic Knife, it is said that it has also been lost, and Childe has seen the Ming Hong Knife?" The ghost king asked curiously, the Chixiao Sword was in He Chen's hand, which had already surprised him, and now He Chen had proposed the Ming Hong Sword, which was not inferior to the Chixiao Sword.
"Yes." He Chen nodded, did not say that the knife was in his hand, and the ghost king was now inseparable from friend and foe, and some words were still well kept, and asked again: "Does the ghost king know about the White Lotus Sect?" ā
The Ghost King shook his head, "I don't know. ā
He Chen said: "Before us, there were members of the White Lotus Sect who went up to the famous mountain, probably for the purpose of unlocking the seal of the ghost city, if the ghost king hadn't seen them, then these people seemed to have disappeared for the birth of the ghost city. ā
"Maybe, the soul seal needs the soul to solve, and our birth does require a lot of soul power." The Ghost King nodded, somewhat agreeing with He Chen's words, and asked, "What sect is the White Lotus Sect?" ā
"I don't know the specifics." He Chen smiled, he knew a limited amount about the White Lotus Sect, but he only knew this, he really didn't know how to explain it, could it be that he told him about the organization, I'm afraid they didn't even know about the political axe, if it was explained in detail, it would not be something that could be finished in a while.
"Ten thousand years of sealing, the ghost city of this world, I'm afraid that the disputes in the world will continue again." The Ghost King said with some emotion.
"Perhaps." He Chen said in his heart: "There are no fewer disputes in the world, and in the two world wars, there are definitely more people who died than in a certain catastrophe before." ā
"Shaoxia can pass through the Five Elements Reincarnation Hall in my ghost city, it can be seen that he is also a strange person in time, I have a reluctant request here, I don't know if Shaoxia can agree?" Looking at He Chen, the Ghost King asked.
"Ghost King, please speak." He Chen smiled in his heart, the laws of nature are like this, the ghost king can talk to them politely, it seems that he has a request for himself.
"I want to ask Gongzi to be the deputy lord of the ghost town, and I will be in charge of the ghost city together, for ten thousand years, we don't know much about this world, and most of the power of the ghost town has disappeared, relying on us alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the ghost town play a role again in a short period of time." The Ghost King said.
"Ghost towns come into play?" He Chen asked suspiciously.
"Receive the souls of the dead, let them be reincarnated, capture the souls who do not want to enter the ghost town of reincarnation, and put them on the right path." The Ghost King said.
"One thing I hope the ghost king can explain, there have been countless dead in the past 10,000 years, and the ghost city is sealed, so where do these souls go?" He Chen asked.
The ghost king said: "The seal of the ghost city has not lost its specific role, but everything is in the stage of dealing with the situation independently, but it is impossible to deal with some special events, and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and goodness, during the sealing period, the ghost city is disorderly, and most of the souls who enter the ghost city are reincarnated as people, if I am right, the population of the secular world must be very large now, and there are few animals." ā
"Yes!" He Chen nodded, he had no way of verifying whether the ghost king's words were true or false, but if it was true, then this world would be interesting.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, people are humane, demons have demon roads, since the ghost town has reappeared, then we have to take charge of all this, so that the world can return to a normal state of rotation, Childe may have doubts now, but time will tell." Although the ghost king had just woken up, he was old and refined, and he saw some doubts in He Chen's heart.
He Chen smiled and said, "I really have a weak heart for ghost hunting, and there is a person who may be suitable for this matter." ā
"Who?" The Ghost King asked curiously.
"She!" He Chen pointed at Ma Xin'er and said: "Ma Xin'er, the contemporary descendant of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan, the Ma family has been on the mission of catching ghosts for thousands of years, it can be said that in the years when the ghost city was sealed, the Ma family has made great efforts to eliminate the evil spirits in the world. ā
"Oh! I didn't expect there to be such a peculiar sect in the world, I wonder if Miss Ma is interested in succumbing to the position of deputy city lord of the ghost town and taking charge of the ghost city with me? The ghost king looked at Ma Xin'er with some surprise and asked.
Ma Xin'er looked at He Chen, saw He Chen nodded, turned his head and said to the ghost king: "The ancestors of the Ma family stipulate that the descendants of the Ma family are not allowed to enter the court as officials, but I think the ghost city should not be in this category, I can be the deputy city lord, but there are some things that we have to explain in advance." ā
The Ghost King smiled, "Girl, it's okay to say. ā
Ma Xin'er said: "First, I am the deputy city lord of the ghost city only in name, the big and small affairs of the ghost city, I have to work hard with the ghost king and the five palace masters, I don't understand the management of the ghost city, I can only make the ghost city fall into chaos, but if it involves worldly things, you need my help, and I have nothing to say within my ability; Second, I can't stay in the ghost town for a long time, I still have my own things to do, I don't know if the ghost king can agree to my two conditions? ā
"No problem, we can agree to the girl's two requests, I believe that with the cooperation of both of us, the ghost town will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of 10,000 years ago." The Ghost King smiled and nodded.
"Let's just say it, before the glory, do you need me, the deputy city lord, to do something?" Ma Xin'er smiled, the ghost king must have asked for something to win them over, otherwise he would not have come up with such a deputy city lord, in this world, there is no such thing as only taking benefits and not doing things.
The ghost king smiled: "The girl is quick to talk, I will also say directly, the cathode Taixuan array in the ghost city cannot be activated due to the lack of necessary energy, I hope Miss Ma can help us get some good jade, the ghost city should not be exposed in the world." ā
"When your ancestors sealed, none of them sealed jade?" Ma Xin'er smiled in her heart, knowing that this deputy city lord is not easy to be, this opening is money, maybe it is something that money can't do, the best jade in the mouth of the ghost king, the world is estimated to be not much.
The ghost king smiled bitterly: "All the jade is used to maintain the operation of the ghost city after the seal, and with the release of the seal of the ghost city, those jade stones have also disappeared, but there are still some ordinary gems and jade, I don't know if Miss Ma will use them." ā
"It should be used, it is better to have these things in exchange than to buy them with money, the best jade now, and the jade that can be used as a formation energy stone, is already an extremely rare item, I can't guarantee how much I can find, or even whether I can find it, I can only say do my best." Ma Xin'er knew that this kind of thing was available in He Chen, but before the ghost king made a bid, she couldn't agree indiscriminately.
The Ghost King hurriedly said, "Just do your best." ā
"I don't know how much it will take?" Ma Xin'er asked.
"At least 81." The Ghost King thought for a moment and replied.
"How old?" Ma Xin'er was shocked when she heard this, this amount is not small.
Listening to the description of the ghost king, Ma Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief, the size of a matchbox, this is okay, if it is the size of a basin, then she will not say 81 yuan, even a piece can not be found, the ghost king asked the five hall masters to move the treasure of the ghost city for hundreds of millions of years, a total of six black boxes with a length and width and height of about one foot, open the box, and see that there are different colors and shapes inside, but it is like an ordinary stone, a stone without brilliance, Ma Xin'er and they are all a little disappointed, this is a gem, is this a stone, a colored stone.
Looking at the contents of the box, a trace of excitement flashed in He Chen's eyes, Ma Xin'er and they didn't know each other, how could he not know it, these boxes were filled with magic crystals, and they were all top-grade magic crystals.
The magic crystal is divided into four categories, namely primary, intermediate, advanced and top, the first three magic crystals, just like the current gemstones, the brilliance flows, and there is energy on it, the stronger the energy, the higher the level, only the top one, it looks like an ordinary stone, there is nothing surprising, but the energy contained in it can not be imagined, this is like a master, when the kung fu practice to a certain level, it will return to the basics.
"Your Excellency the Ghost King, I like some strange things, such as wood and stone, I don't know if there are any such special things that have been collected in the ghost town for many years?" He Chen asked suddenly.
The ghost king said very frankly: "That's all for the stones, there seem to be a few pieces of wood, a hundred flowers, you go and bring them to the prince to see." ā
"Yes!" Baihua got up and agreed, walked quickly to the back of the Senluo Palace, and after a while, walked out with three arm-thick pieces of wood that were about one meter long, and the three pieces of wood were white, blue, and earthy yellow.
Seeing these three pieces of wood, He Chen couldn't help but admire the ghost town, these are all top-level magic materials, the three pieces of wood are Wuchen wood, sea rhyme wood and Tieyu wood, which are the top materials for making space-based, water-based and earth-based magic wands, with top-level spars, He Chen is sure that he can make top-level staffs.
"Your Excellency the Ghost King, I want this wood to be a little useful, I don't know how many you have?" He Chen asked.
The ghost king looked at Baihua, it seems, how many things there are, and he, the ghost king, doesn't know, Baihua replied: "There are only these 3." ā
"Oh!" He Chen nodded a little disappointed, this thing, it seems that no matter in that world or in that place, it is very rare, and he smiled instead, he is too greedy, not to mention this world, it is the strange world in his dreams, this thing is rare, and it is already very good to get three.
"Your Excellency the Ghost King, I wonder if you can give me these three pieces of wood?" He Chen asked.
"Childe needs it, just take it, this thing has been in our ghost town for some years, it's just a few ordinary pieces of wood." The ghost king smiled very calmly, and did not take the opportunity to raise any opinions, he could see that among the four people in front of him, He Chen was the leader, and the other three people all listened to him, he now had a request for help, and his intuition told him that to solve their problems, it was mainly He Chen.
"Then thank you Your Excellency the Ghost King." He Chen smiled, the ghost king is better than he imagined, no condition is the biggest condition, the matter of the ghost city, he can't help if he wants to, Baihua sent three pieces of wood over, He Chen took it with a smile.
"Ghost King City Lord, do you need anything besides jade?" Ma Xin'er asked.
The Ghost King thought for a moment and replied, "Not at the moment, the first task now is to activate the Cathode Taixuan Array." ā
"Oh!" Ma Xin'er nodded and asked again, "The cathode Taixuan array has not been activated, is there any bad effect?" ā
"There is no bad influence, but ghost towns are not supposed to appear in the secular world." The Ghost King said.
Ma Xin'er said: "Okay, I understand, if there is nothing wrong, let's go down the mountain and find the jade as soon as possible." ā
The ghost king said: "It's okay, with the existing energy, the cathode Taixuan array can run autonomously for about seven days, after you leave, we will activate the cathode Taixuan array, I hope that Miss Ma you can only find the jade you need in the seventh day, otherwise it will be troublesome." ā
"Trouble?" Ma Xin'er asked suspiciously.
The Ghost King said: "In addition to protecting the ghost city, the Cathode Taixuan Array also has a more important role, attracting all souls to enter the Cathode Taixuan Array and enter the ghost city for reincarnation. ā
"That's it! Then I hope I can find all these jade stones soon. Ma Xin'er was stunned, as a ghost hunter, she understood what the consequences would be if she lost the gravitational pull of the cathode Taixuan array.
The ghost king and the seven of them sent He Chen and them to the side of the Nai He Bridge, He Chen said goodbye to them, and walked quickly down the mountain, the way down the mountain, I felt more inexplicable and gloomy than when I went up the mountain, He Chen and their mood changed somewhat, when they came up, they looked at the ghost city, that is, a place that suddenly appeared, and when they went down, the ghost city has become a gathering place for ghosts, which they want to ignore, as if there are always some shadows floating around them.
Looking at He Chen's disappearing backs, Meng Po asked, "Can the cooperation with them be successful?" ā
