Chapter 2035 Strange Stone Plate
2035
Looking at these people kneeling in front of him, Xu Taiping didn't feel much. He had done too much to be a superior. Although he became the Ghost King here, it didn't feel much exciting to Xu Taiping.
"Everyone, get up." Xu Taiping said.
Everyone stood up together.
"The last Ghost King has been killed by me. According to your rules, I will naturally be the new Ghost King. I don't have any big sense of rules, so everything can be done as usual. You were originally responsible for the Ghost King. Whatever the job is, it’s the job you’re responsible for,” Xu Taiping said.
Xu Taiping's words made many people very happy. These people were all the people who worked under the previous Ghost King. What they were most worried about was the personnel changes after the new Ghost King came up. There were no personnel changes at the moment, so they could still stay in their original positions. In terms of position, this is very good for them, but some people are very dissatisfied because they originally planned to join Xu Taiping, but Xu Taiping actually said that everything would be business as usual, which meant that they had no chance.
At this moment, Xu Taiping continued, "In addition, thirteen of the previous ghost generals have been killed in the battle, so now I need thirteen new ghost generals. Those who think they have the ability to become ghost generals, step aside. step."
Xu Taiping's words rekindled the hope of many people, and these people hurriedly walked aside.
Suddenly one group of people at the door turned into two groups.
Xu Taiping took a brief look and found that there were about 20 people who thought they had the ability to be ghost generals.
"Next, I will select thirteen people among you to become ghost generals. My criteria for selecting ghost generals are very simple, that is, there are no standards. I picked you solely because I like you." Xu Taiping said He stood up, pointed at a short man in his forties, and said, "If you can't do it, get out of the queue."
"Why can't I do it, Lord Ghost King?" the man asked.
"You are too ugly." Xu Taiping said.
"Ugly?" The man was stunned. He wouldn't be surprised if Xu Taiping found another reason, but he didn't expect Xu Taiping to say he was too ugly.
This is a bit unacceptable.
"Yes, you have to know that the Ghost General represents the City of Fear to a great extent. Your appearance determines people's first impression of the City of Fear. Therefore, the appearance of the Ghost General is very important, even if it is not required. Like me, Yushu Linfeng has to look presentable, but you are too ugly." Xu Taiping said seriously.
"Okay." The person who was bluntly told by Xu Taiping that he was too ugly shook his head and said, "You are the Ghost King and you have the final say."
After saying that, the man left sadly.
Xu Taiping then picked a few more people to eliminate, and the reasons were basically the same, such as being ugly or not pleasing to the eye. In the end, thirteen people were left, and none of them were very good-looking.
"Thirteen of you will follow me into the Ghost Temple, and the others can go back." Xu Taiping waved his hand.
The people at the door dispersed, and then Xu Taiping entered the Ghost Temple with the thirteen people he selected.
Inside the Ghost Temple.
"You thirteen are the new ghost generals I selected. Congratulations to you." Xu Taiping said.
"Thank you, Boss Ghost King!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Don't worry about thanking me yet, I have a surprise for you." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
surprise?
Everyone present was stunned. In this history, no ghost king has ever given any surprises after taking office. The ghost king in front of him is really different.
"I want you to find someone." Xu Taiping said, took out his phone, and then clicked on a document on the phone.
The document contained a personal information, including a photo, which was extremely large.
"This man's name is Henry. He may be in the fourth ring or the fifth ring. Your task is to find this man. Whoever finds this man will be the number one ghost general!" Xu Taiping said.
Upon hearing Xu Taiping's words, everyone present became excited. Ghost General No. 1 is a character who lives on the eighth floor underground. It is said that there are many ghosts there. If he can live on the eighth floor underground, how powerful will he be? The improvement is absolutely rapid!
Generally, those who live on the eighth floor underground must be the most powerful ghost generals. Now, as long as you find a person named Henry, you can become the number one ghost general. This is definitely a great opportunity for some people who are not strong enough!
"Let's all go out and look for him. Whoever finds him first and brings him to me will be the number one ghost general. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies," Xu Taiping said.
"Yes!" All the ghost generals took the order and retreated, leaving only the original four ghost generals in the ghost temple.
"The four of you are responsible for guarding this place." Xu Taiping looked at the four people in front of him and said, "Whoever performs best will be the ghost king after I leave."
"Yes!" Molia and others nodded, and then Xu Taiping turned around and went downstairs.
Before reaching the ninth floor underground, Xu Taiping heard Cavendish cheering.
"Found it, found it!!"
Xu Taiping quickened his pace and walked into the ninth floor underground.
"What did you find?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Look, this is the entrance to the Sealed Land!" Cavendish pointed to his feet and said.
Xu Taiping looked at Cavendish's feet. Under Cavendish's feet was a huge disk!
This disc looks like it is made of stone, with many patterns painted on it, and many of these patterns are symmetrical.
When Xu Taiping saw these, the first thing he thought of was the magic circle in the cartoons he watched when he was a child!
The pattern on this disk is very similar to the lines of the magic circle!
Xu Taiping couldn't help but walked over, then squatted down and looked at the disk carefully.
"This is King Joseph's seal!" Cavendish squatted down and said excitedly, "The lines on it are the seal!!"
"King Joseph's seal?" Xu Taiping frowned and looked at the patterns on the disk. He discovered that the style of these patterns was actually Chinese!
Xu Taiping actually didn’t know much about Chinese and Western styles, and the reason why he thought the patterns under his feet were Western-style was because there were a lot of peonies painted on them. These peonies are not common in the West, but they are common in China. It is very common. In addition, Xu Taiping also saw red-crowned cranes, ancient Chinese swords, and even a little bit of Qimen Bagua.
These elements come together to make the entire disc look completely oriental!
"King Joseph, is he from the Kingdom of God?" Xu Taiping couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Cavendish nodded.
"Has he been to China?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's not in the historical record," Cavendish said.
"Then please explain why this red-crowned crane, this peony flower, and this sword are all in oriental style?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't understand this, but according to the legend of the Kingdom of Gods, their gods created the world, so I guess China was also created by their gods," Cavendish said.
"Bullshit." Xu Taiping rolled his eyes and said, "How could Chinese civilization be created by your god? Even if I say it was created by Hongjun, it is more credible than what you say. I think, you, King Joseph , he may have been to China, but there is no record of it in history. I’m sure he learned martial arts in China, and then came back to the West and fought against all the invincible fighters in the world!" Xu Taiping said.
"It's possible!" Cavendish nodded. The only way to open this sealed place now was Xu Taiping. Even if Xu Taiping said that King Joseph was Chinese, Cavendish would not refute it.
"Find this entrance, and then what?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This is the door to the Sealed Land. Look at the protrusion at the center of the middle circle. As long as you drop blood on that protrusion, the door will open automatically, and civilization can enter the Sealed Land!" Cavendish said .
"Is this the above principle?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't know either. I can only say that this is the great wisdom of the ancients." Cavendish said.
"Why do I feel like it's getting more and more fantasy-like? Could it be that there are still ghosts and gods hidden inside after I go in?" Xu Taiping asked.
"How is this possible? It's impossible!" Cavendish shook his head.
"Don't forget, this is the city of fear, and there are ghosts here!" Xu Taiping said seriously.
"Ah? Is there really a ghost?" Cavendish asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, there won't be ghosts in this world." Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Why don't we bring some weapons over and blow this up."
"No, it is recorded in the literature that anyone who uses violence to destroy the sealed place will be punished by God, and the sealed place will collapse as a result. This is the ninth floor underground. If it collapses, you may not die, but I will die. Yes!" said Cavendish.
"Do you believe everything the literature says?" Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head. In his opinion, the so-called divine punishment and collapse were just that King Joseph did not want future generations to destroy the sealed place.
However, since Cavendish did not dare to use violence to break the seal, he could only wait here.
At this time, it is twelve o'clock at noon.
For Xu Taiping and the others, there are still twelve hours until the sealed land is opened.
Meanwhile, outside.
The thirteen newly promoted ghost generals have already rushed to the fourth and fifth rings in groups. All of them have remembered Henry's appearance. As long as Henry appears within their time limit, they will immediately Catch Henry, kill him, and then bring him back to Xu Taiping, because Xu Taiping said before that as long as Henry is captured, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. In this case, it must be that the dead are easier to carry, so everyone Everyone is determined to kill Henry!
However, the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads are too big and there are many houses. It is almost impossible for more than a dozen people to find Henry hiding in a certain house.
