Chapter 001: The Birth of a Ghost Child (1)
Dragon City is located in the westernmost part of the Honghuang Continent, with more than 30,000 households, and it is a medium-sized city in the Honghuang Continent.
When night falls, the new moon rises, embracing the earth with quiet whiteness and tenderness, as if a loving mother is gently caressing a sleeping baby. At that time, in the westernmost village of Honduras, in the westernmost part of Dragon City, in the midst of a dangerous building that towered into the clouds, an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came out, and after that, the entire Dragon City fell into a dead silence like an underworld.
Located in the westernmost part of Honduras, the dilapidated building has a terrifying name - the ghost building.
Covering an area of more than 30 acres and a height of 100 feet, the ghost building is the tallest building in Honduran Village. In the middle of the night, all the leading figures in Dragon City, including the city lord and the four ghost elders, came to the ghost building. But no one noticed that along with everyone came in there was a handsome young man.
The huge, ancient glowing stone illuminates the entire building as bright as day.
"I ask you—why do you want to participate in the selection of ghost boys?" the majestic voice of the city lord Ravi, with a bit of metallic texture, sounded sonorous and pleasant.
The glowing stone's glow was cast onto his face, refracting a bronze sheen. The four ghost elders standing next to him had their tall bodies completely shrouded in huge black robes, and they couldn't see their faces. In Dragon City, they are all dragon-like existences that see no end in sight.
"Kill ghosts and souls, protect your loved ones!" replied in a uniform voice.
This seven-storey ghost building is the most famous building in Dragon City, and it is specially responsible for selecting the children who are most likely to become ghost masters in the jurisdiction of Dragon City for intensive training. There are nine levels of the Ghost Boy title, and only by becoming a first-level Ghost Boy can they be eligible to receive formal training here.
The lord of the city, Ravi, is a tall middle-aged strong man with a majestic face. He is also responsible for the training of ghost children in Dragon City, and according to those who are familiar with him, if his talent is a little higher, he may impact the position of ghost master.
Ghost Master, that's a divine existence as dazzling as the sun and moon and as starlight!
It has a history of thousands of years since the establishment of Dragon City, but there are very few ghost masters who have walked out from here, and there are very few of them. Therefore, the previous city lords have been very serious about the selection of ghost children.
"What do you have to do if you want to become a ghost boy?" With a majestic gaze and a solemn expression, Ravi was particularly satisfied with the children who participated in the ghost boy selection this year. The children in front of me are all between ten and fifteen years old, and some of them are not the first time to participate in the selection of ghost children.
The voice of the answer is still sonorous and powerful: "I sprinkle the flood with my blood, and I protect my relatives with my strength!"
"Worthy of being a disciple of Dragon City, I applaud you for daring to dedicate yourself to the Flood Wilderness!" Ravi's voice was full of the same magnetism as ever, "You have been cultivating here for five years, from five to ten years old, or from ten to fifteen years old, tonight, it is time for you to be assessed." Ghost boy from level 1 to level 9, the corresponding ghost power value is one to nine, full nine into one, tonight's assessment of you, that is, the ghost power value reaches more than one, becoming a first-level ghost child. Only children who successfully pass the assessment are eligible to stay here and continue to cultivate, and when your ghost power breaks through the ninth level of the ghost child, I will personally send you to the ghost hall to participate in the assessment of the big ghost child. Only when you step into the level of the big ghost boy can you really enter the ghost path......"
"Ghost road, ghost road, ghost road!"
From the ghost boy to the big ghost boy, don't look at the difference between these two realms is only one word, but the mystery is very different, only those who really enter the realm of the big ghost boy will achieve the level of cultivating ghosts and spirits, and will increase the life span of people to a hundred years old. When the uniform voice abruptly stopped, Ravi's voice echoed through the building again:
"The selection begins, Zhang Wei. ”
"To. A teenager stepped out of the queue and took out the ghost slashing knife on his back.
All the boys' ghost slashing knives are the same, the blade is two feet long and two inches wide, the style is simple, and the shape is like a sword. And the assessment of the first-level ghost boy is also quite simple, on the bluestone platform in front of Zhang Wei, there is a naked corpse lying down, covered by shame, and a force tester is erected next to it, and the lower end is connected to the corpse, which is marked with a scale of one to nine, which contains a blood-red liquid, and chops the corpse with a knife, and the liquid inside will rise if it is squeezed, and the scale value reached by the liquid rise is the ghost power value of the person being measured.
People who cultivate the ghost path in the Flood Desolate Continent will test their ghost power value. The ghost power value is the main basis for judging their strength. Normally, the higher the ghost power value, the stronger the strength.
"Kill!" the young man in the field shouted, and the ghost slashing knife was raised high, riveting his strength and slashing at the ghost corpse.
"Ding!" the ghost slasher slashed at the ghost's corpse, and the red liquid in the dynamometer quickly ejected.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the red-glowing liquid rising, and strange sounds came from their mouths. Ravi nodded with satisfaction, and while calling the clerk to record, he said loudly: "Zhang Wei, the ghost power is worth two, and the ghost boy is second, pass." Next, Niu Thirteen. ”
Niu Thirteen's ghost power value is higher than Zhang Wei's zero point five scales, but according to the rules set by Dragon City thousands of years ago, this Niu Thirteen can still only be regarded as a ghost boy level two. The assessment of the ghost boy was carried out quite quickly, only half a pillar of incense kung fu, two-thirds of the people completed the assessment, but the elimination rate was extremely high, probably only one-fifth of the total number passed the assessment.
"Ryuzo. Calling the name, Ravi's eagle-eyed pupils locked onto a scrawny young man.
Compared with the others, it was obvious that there was something wrong with some part of his body, and his whole body was not at all coordinated, especially his face, which was not at all commensurate with his age, just like an adult in his twenties and thirties.
Eyebrows that look like weeds, black eyes, black eyelashes, a high nose, black skin, and pine bark-like lips. Such an old and ugly teenager will naturally not be treated well by people, but Ravi looks at him with respect that ordinary people can't get. Especially his black hair, which was shiny, didn't match his figure and skin at all. If you wear tattered clothes, you will definitely be seen in front of the beggars who come here to watch the bustle.
Long San walked in front of Ravi, and instead of eagerly pulling out the ghost slashing knife like other teenagers, he clasped his fists in front of his chest, bent down and performed a standard ghost boy salute, and then said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Lord Ghost Disciple." ”
Ravi's originally frowning brow relaxed, nodded, and said, "Let's start." There was a palpable sympathy on his face.
"Yes. ”
