Chapter 440 Deputy Lord of the Ghost City
"How many worlds are there in the world?" He Chen suddenly asked. Hearing the word "spiritual world", he always felt that the world began to change because of the birth of something.
"The world belongs to the secular world, but in this world, there is a kind of people who are above the secular world. The collection of such people is collectively referred to as the spiritual world. The spiritual world is divided into three categories: cultivation, demons and ghosts." The ghost king explained to He Chen.
"Oh!" He Chen nodded. It seemed that the matter was not very big, and there were no gods or immortals.
The ghost king also said, "According to ancient legends, there is a special world above the spiritual world, called the fairy world. Whether it is human beings, ghosts and demons, as long as they reach a certain level of cultivation, they can rise to the fairy world, but in the records of the ghost city, the fairy world is just a legend."
"Well, I take the liberty to ask, Mr. Ghost King, are you a human or a ghost?" He Chen looked at the ghost king and asked curiously.
"Non-human, non-ghost, half-human and half-ghost, we are all." The ghost king was very frank and said with a smile.
He Chen asked in some confusion, "What is half-human and half-ghost?"
The ghost king smiled and said, "A long time ago, we were all dead. Now this body is through cultivation..."
Before the ghost king finished speaking, he was interrupted by the witch. The witch said in surprise, "Recast the body?"
The ghost king shook his head and said, "No, just use some special method to occupy the body of a newly dead person and be reborn, but because it is not his own body, he must use the power of the cathode of the ghost city to slowly integrate the soul and body and become another person, so it is said that it is half human and half ghost. "."
"Oh! Take away and be reborn. The witch nodded with understanding.
The ghost king smiled and said, "You can say so."
"Mr. Ghost King, I don't know if you have ever heard of the Demon Realm?" He Chen asked.
The ghost king thought for a time and replied, "No."
"What about Yunxiaomen?" He Chen asked again.
The ghost king thought for a moment and replied, "Yunxiaomen, as if I have seen it in some records of the ghost city, should be an ancient sect of practitioners. When the first disaster in the world came, all the masters in the world were robbed, and many things disappeared, including Yunxiaomen."
"What does the first disaster mean? 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 disaster." The ghost king shook his head and said.
"What does that mean when it is robbed?" He Chen asked again.
The ghost king said, "The later generations know very little about the disaster. There are two theories about the disaster. One is that in that disaster, all people disappeared, that is, they died; the other is, the other is that some master people worked together to open up a different space channel and left when the disaster came. I think the second possibility The surname is higher. The ghost city was passed down after the disaster. If those masters can't avoid the disaster, the weak can't avoid it. Everything should disappear together, so I feel that the predecessors have left, not dead.
"Can the inheritance of the ghost city be that some people have been sealed and rebuilt after the seal is lifted?" He Chen thought of a little and asked.
The ghost king explained, "No, it is recorded that the legacy of the ghost city is in charge of the ghost city again, but there is one thing that no one understands so far. When the robbery is sad, some profound skills disappeared with the ancestors, saying that the ancestors took it away, and there is also a broken one. It is said that it has been destroyed by human beings, but it is a little unlikely that all sects will be destroyed at the same time. Therefore, countless people in the spiritual world have been exploring the secret of the disappearance of their ancestors, but after all, it is still impossible to understand what the great disaster in the world was. After experiencing that incident, the second catastrophe in the world came. At that time, in order not to lose something again, people thought of a way to seal it. That's how we survived, but unfortunately, what should be lost was lost after all.
"This sword recognized by the ghost king?" He Chen took the red night 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, you have the Chixiao Sword in your hand."
"Yes, it's the Red Night Sword. How much does the Ghost King know about this sword?" He Chen nodded and was sure in his heart that the golden whip did not know the Chixiao sword. He could just avoid the sharpness of the Chixiao sword. One might be the natural reaction of the move, and the other might be the natural reaction of the warrior.
"I don't know the other treasures of the town school of Yunxiaomen. The legend has long been lost. I didn't expect to see it again today. It seems that we are not the only ghost city that were born!" The ghost king smiled and said.
"Do you know Minghong Knife Ghost King?" He Chen smiled, and he could feel that Ji Bing's heart had relaxed a lot. It could be seen that the words of the Ghost King had solved some doubts that had always existed in her heart.
"It is said that the ancient magic knife has also been lost. Have you ever seen Ming Hongdao?" The ghost king asked curiously that the red night sword was in He Chen's hand, which had already surprised him. Now He Chen has proposed a Minghong knife, which is not bad than the magic soldier of the red night sword.
"I've seen it." He Chen nodded and didn't say that the knife was in his hand. He was not separated from the ghost king's enemies and friends now. Some words were still good to keep, and asked, "Does the ghost king know the Bailian religion?"
The ghost king shook his head, "I don't know."
He Chen said, "Before us, the followers of the White Lotus Sect went to the famous mountain. The purpose may be to unlock the seal of the ghost city. If the ghost king has not seen them, then these people seem to have disappeared for the birth of the ghost city."
"Maybe, the soul seal needs the soul to solve. Our birth really needs a lot of soul power." The ghost king nodded, somewhat agreed with He Chen's words, and asked, "What kind of sect is the White Lotus Sect?"
"I don't know the details." He Chen smiled. What he knew about Bai Lian's teaching was limited, but he really didn't know how to explain it. Did he tell him about the [***] organization? I'm afraid they don't even know the political axe. If they explain it in detail, it won't be something that can be finished in a while.
"With ten thousand years of sealing, the ghost city, I'm afraid that the disputes in the world will continue again." The ghost king said with some emotion.
"Maybe." He Chen said in his heart, "There are many disputes in the world. In the two world wars, there are definitely more people who died than one disaster before."
"The young hero can pass through the five elements of the reincarnation hall of my ghost city. It can be seen that it is also a strange person in time. I have a ruthless invitation here. I don't know if the young hero can agree?" Looking at He Chen, the ghost king asked.
"Ghost King, please say it." He Chen smiled from the bottom of his heart. The laws of nature are like this. It seems that the ghost king can speak politely to them for himself.
"I want to ask you to be the deputy lord of the ghost city and take charge of the ghost city with me. For ten thousand years, we don't know much about the world, and most of the power of the ghost city has disappeared. With us alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the ghost city to come back into play in a short time." The ghost king said.
"Does the ghost city play a role?" He Chen asked doubtfully.
"Receive the soul of the deceased, let him reincarnate, catch the soul that does not want to enter the ghost city reincarnation, and put him on the right path." The ghost king said.
"I hope the ghost king can explain that there are countless dead in these ten thousand years, and the ghost city is in the seal. Where do these souls belong?" 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 autonomous handling of events, but it can't deal with some special events, and it can't distinguish between good and evil. During the seal, the ghost city is disorderly. Most of the souls who enter the ghost city are reincarnated as human beings. If I'm right, there must be a large population in the secular world now, and there are very few animals.
"Yes!" He Chen nodded. He had no way to verify whether the ghost king's words were true or false, but if it was true, the world would be interesting.
"The dust returns to the dust, the earth returns to the earth, people are humane, and demons have a demon road. Since the ghost city has reappeared, we have to take charge of all this and return the world to a normal state of rotation. The prince may have doubts now, but time will prove everything." Although the ghost king had just woken up, he became an old man and saw some doubts in He Chen's heart.
He Chen smiled and said, "I'm really powerless about catching ghosts. There may be a person who is suitable for this thing."
"Who?" The ghost king asked curiously.
"She!" He Chen pointed to Ma Xiner and said, "Ma Xiner, a contemporary descendant of the Ma family of the exorcism dragon clan, 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."
"Oh! I didn't expect that there was such a strange sect in the world. I don't know if Miss Ma is interested in giving in to the position of deputy lord of the ghost city and take charge of the ghost city with me? The ghost king looked at Ma Xiner with some surprise and asked.
Ma Xiner looked at He Chen, looked at He Chen, turned her head and said to the ghost king, "The ancestors of the Ma family stipulated 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 owner, but we have to explain some words in advance."
The ghost king smiled and said, "Girl, it's okay to say it."
Ma Xiner said, "First, when I am the deputy owner of the ghost city, I only care about the name. The big and small affairs of the ghost city, I have to work hard for the ghost king and the five lords. I don't understand the management of the ghost city. I can only make the ghost city fall into chaos, but if it comes to secular matters, I need my help. Within my ability range. I have nothing to say; second, I can't stay in the ghost city 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?
"No problem, we can agree to the girl's two requirements. I believe that with the cooperation of both of us, the ghost city will definitely reproduce the glory of ten thousand years ago." The ghost king nodded with a smile.
"Say it directly, what do you need me, the deputy city owner, to do before the glory?" Ma Xiner smiled. The ghost king must have asked for them, otherwise she would not have come up such a deputy city owner. In this world, there is nothing to do with only the benefits.
The ghost king smiled and said, "The girl spoke quickly, and I also said directly that the cathode Taixuan array of 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 secular world."
"When you ancestors sealed it, didn't you have a piece of jade to seal?" Ma Xiner smiled from the bottom of her heart and knew that this deputy city owner was not easy to be. This opening was money. Maybe it was something that money could not be done. The good jade in the mouth of the ghost king is estimated that there are not many in the world now.
The ghost king smiled bitterly and said, "All the jade is used to maintain the operation of the seal of the ghost city. With the lifting of the seal of the ghost city, those jades have also disappeared, but there are also some ordinary gemstones and jade. I don't know if Miss Ma can't use it."
"It should be used. It's better to exchange these things than to buy them with money. Now the best jade, and the jade that can be used as array energy stones, is already extremely rare. I can't guarantee how much I can find, or even whether I can find it. I can only say that I will do my best." Ma Xiner knew that such things were available in He Chen's place, but she couldn't agree indiscriminately until the Ghost King made a bid.
The ghost king hurriedly said, "Just try your best."
"I don't know how much it needs in total?" Ma Xiner asked.
"At least 81 yuan." The ghost king thought for a time and replied.
"How old is it?" Ma Xiner was shocked to hear that the number was not small.
Listening to the description of the ghost king, Ma Xiner breathed a sigh of relief. The size of the matchbox is not bad. If it is the size of a washbasin, then she can't find one piece, not to mention 81 yuan. The ghost king asked the five lords to move the hundreds of millions of years of treasures of the ghost city. A total of six black boxes in length, width and height are about one foot. When they opened the box, they saw that there were different colors and shapes inside, but like ordinary stones and lightless stones, Ma Xiner and others were a little disappointed. This is a gem. Is this a stone? A colored stone.
Looking at the things in the box, a trace of excitement flashed in He Chen's eyes. Ma Xiner and others didn't know each other. How could he not know? There were magic crystals in these boxes, and they were all top-level magic crystals.
Magic crystals are divided into four categories, which are primary, intermediate, advanced and top. The first three magic crystals, just like the current gems, flow, and there is energy on it. The stronger the energy, the higher the level. Only the top one looks like an ordinary stone, which is nothing surprising, but among them The energy contained in it is unimaginable, just like a master, when he practices kung fu to a certain extent, he will return to the original.
"Mr. Ghost King, I prefer some strange things, such as wood and stones. I don't know if there are such special things in the collection of ghost cities for many years?" He Chen suddenly asked.
The Ghost King said frankly, "That's all the stones. There seem to be a few pieces of wood, hundreds of flowers. Go and show it to the prince."
"Yes!" Baihua got up and answered, and quickly walked to the back of the Senluo Hall. In a short time, he came out with three thick arms and about one meter of wood. The three pieces of wood were white, blue and earthy yellow.
Seeing these three pieces of wood, He Chen can't help but admire the ghost city. These are all top magic materials. The three pieces of wood are Wuchen wood, Haiyun wood and Tieyu wood. They are the top materials for making space, water and earth magic wands. With the top crystals, He Chen is sure to make the top wand.
"Mr. Ghost King, I'm a little useful for this wood. I don't know how many of you have?" He Chen asked.
The ghost king looked at Baihua. It seemed that he, the ghost king, didn't know how many things there were. Baihua replied, "Only these three."
"Oh!" He Chen nodded a little disappointed. It seemed that this thing was very rare in that world and that place. Instead, he smiled. He was too greedy. Not to mention the world, even the strange world in the dream, this thing was not rare. It was already very good to get three.
"Mr. Ghost King, I wonder if you can give me these three pieces of wood?" He Chen asked.
"If you need it, just take it. This thing has been in our ghost city for some years. It's just a few ordinary pieces of wood." The ghost king smiled calmly and did not take the opportunity to make any comments. He could see that among the four people in front of him, He Chen was the leader, and the other three listened to him. He now asked for others, and his intuition told him that to solve their problems was mainly He Chen.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ghost King." He Chen smiled. The ghost king was better than he thought. No conditions were the biggest conditions. It was impossible for him to help the ghost city. Baihua sent three pieces of wood, and He Chen took them over with a smile.
"Ghost King, do you need anything else besides jade?" Ma Xiner asked.
The ghost king thought for a moment and replied, "There is no more at present. The first task now is to start the cathode Taixuan array."
"Oh!" Ma Xiner nodded and asked, "The cathode Taixuan array has not been activated. Is there any bad impact?"
"There is no bad influence, but ghost cities should not appear in the secular world." The ghost king said.
Ma Xiner said, "Okay, I see. If there is nothing to do, we will go down the mountain and find all the jade as soon as possible."
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 start the cathode Taixuan array. I hope Miss Ma, you can only find the jade you need on the seventh day, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"Trouble?" Ma Xiner asked doubtfully.
The ghost king said, "In addition to protecting the ghost city, the cathode Taixuan array has a more important role, attracting all souls into the cathode Taixuan array and entering the ghost city for reincarnation."
"That's it! Then I hope I can find all these jades as soon as possible. Ma Xiner was stunned. As a ghost catcher, she understood what would happen if she lost the gravity of the cathode Taixuan array.
The seven ghost kings sent He Chen and others to the edge of the bridge. He Chen and others said goodbye and quickly walked down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, I felt that there was an inexplic gloomy atmosphere than when they went up the mountain. He Chen's mood changed a little. When they came up, they looked at ghosts. The city is a place that suddenly emerges. When it goes down, the ghost city has become a gathering place for ghosts. They can't ignore this. It seems that there are always some shadows floating around them.
Looking at the disappearing backs of He Chen and others, Meng Po asked, "Can you cooperate with them?"
