Hell Emperor

Chapter 12 Ghost Chamei

Returning to Hades, Ye Jie also found Nan Linghe.

"Huh...Brother Jie, I finally finished posting the notice. Why are the streets in Hades so wide? I'm almost exhausted from running..." Nan Linghe panted after seeing Ye Jie.

Hearing this, Ye Jie took out a scrap of paper from his arms.

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Gui Chajie completed the D-level task: posting a notice]

[Gui Chajie obtained the Five Yin Virtues. 】

Putting the broken page back into his arms, Ye Jie smiled and took out an indigo token with the word "Jie" engraved on it.

"Look, this is my recommendation order. As long as you get one more, you can become an official ghost officer."

Taking the recommendation order from Ye Jie, Nan Linghe smiled happily. With this recommendation order, she was only one step away from becoming an official ghost.

However, she was still very embarrassed about the whereabouts of the last recommendation order. She muttered in a low voice: "Except Brother Jie and Sister Sun, I don't know anyone else... Who should I go to for the last recommendation order?" Do you want it? Will it cause trouble to others... Wow, as expected, I'd better reincarnate..."

Ye Jie hurriedly grabbed her, the lucky star with amazing luck couldn't just run away: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything for you, just leave it to Brother Jie."

He dragged the confused Nan Linghe to Aunt Meng's Wine Country and explained his identity to the maid at the front desk. Soon someone came to Ye Jie.

"You are Gui Chajie?"

Ye Jie raised his head and saw that the person who came was tall and tall, wearing a black and white ink hexagram robe, holding a folding fan in his hand. The short hair reaching his ears showed a bit of shrewdness and ability. His face was delicate and dignified, his Yao nose was small and well-proportioned, and he was incomparable with softness. The unheroic faces complement each other perfectly.

Ye Jie cupped his fists and asked, "I wonder if you are..."

"You recognize Sister Lan, but you don't recognize me?" The person turned her head and opened the fan vigorously. Her speech was short and powerful, and her tone was low and magnetic. She was the type who would never forget something she had seen.

Ye Jie bowed his hands and didn't know when he had offended such a powerful person: "I am just a small second-level ghost. I don't come to the wine country a few times throughout the year. If I have offended, please forgive me. "

Fortunately, the man did not embarrass Ye Jie. He glanced at him and said, "Come with me. I am Fuling, one of the chief maids. I am responsible for managing the accounting office in the wine country. I am on duty today. I have already listened to Sister Lan about your affairs." As I said, I just have something to talk to you about later, or rather, to talk to her."

Fu Ling glanced sideways and put her scrutinizing gaze on Nan Linghe. Being stared at by Fu Ling with calm and decisive eyes, Nan Linghe whimpered in fright and hid behind Ye Jie, only daring to stick out half of his head to watch.

"...Bang." Seeing Nan Linghe trusting Ye Jie so much and acting like he only obeyed him, Fuling snorted. Her eyes that occasionally glanced at Ye Jie were full of disdain, not understanding that this man who had been on the performance list all year round What is so special about the ghost from the bottom of the row?

Under the leadership of Fu Ling, Ye Jie and the others climbed to the second floor of the wine village and arrived at the private room they had reserved in advance.

Entering the spacious private room, without the pressure of Poria cocos, Nan Linghe finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but pull Ye Jie and said: "Brother Jie, who is she? Why are you staring at me all the way..."

Ye Jie looked happy: "Your opportunity has come. She came to seek help from you. It is probably Yulan who spread your deeds. I didn't expect that someone else would come to the door so soon. It should be said that she is a lucky star." Life..."

Nan Linghe puffed up his mouth: "Could it be that Brother Jie wants to knock me out again?"

Ye Jie smiled coquettishly: "You are helping them. Think of Yulan's joy when she reunited with her parents. Thanks to your help, you should be happy... But next time, we should make it easier. Method."

As he said that, Ye Jie took another look at her: "You have a very special talent and magical power. As the old saying goes: There are people outside the world, and there is the sky outside the world. The old saying goes again: A mountain is higher than a mountain. A person's strength is only temporary, no matter No matter how strong he is, he will always meet stronger people, but your innate and magical powers can last you a lifetime. If you make good use of your innate and magical powers, you can help many people."

Thinking of Sister Lan's eyes filled with tears when she reunited with her parents, and the joy of helping others, Nan Linghe was full of energy, her eyes were bright and firm, she secretly raised her fists to cheer herself up, as if she had become a ghost servant with Brother Jie , it is about to usher in an extremely bright future.

After about a cup of tea, the door of the private room opened again, and a tall woman with white clothes, white face, and purple lips walked in. She was the person Ye Jie was hosting today, Gui Cha Mei.

"Gui Cha Mei, it's great that you can show me my face. Come on, Nan Linghe, call me sister Mei." Ye Jie stood up to greet her, and at the same time reminded Nan Linghe at the side.

"Hello, Sister Mei." Nan Linghe greeted with wide eyes.

"Hello everyone." Gui Cha Meijiao smiled, "Brother Jie spends so much money to invite me to have dinner at this high-end Aunt Meng Winery. Why should I not come?"

Under Ye Jie's greeting, Gui Cha Mei's clothes fluttered and she sat down safely. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, her eyes were deep and dark, and there were shadows that swallowed up the light around her eyes. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she was always smiling, but It doesn't make people feel close, but rather creepy, with an icy chill that repels people from thousands of miles away.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Brother Jie also invited other guests, and he was also a first-level wandering soul. Could it be that he wanted me to issue a recommendation order? Hahaha..."

Gui Cha Mei waved her hand and smiled, and Ye Jie had to apologize: "Haha... you really got it right! There is only one final recommendation order left, and Nan Linghe can become an official Gui Cha."

"Oh? After so many years, why doesn't Brother Jie still have a long memory? Don't issue the recommendation order casually. The loss of moral virtue is small, but the big thing is if you are implicated. Have you forgotten the lessons learned before? Really?" Gui Cha Meiyi pointed out. Ye Jie shook his head: "The past is the past, the past has passed, why bring it up? That kind of thing will not happen every time."

Onizashi Mei sneered faintly: "That's not certain. After all, I know your vision clearly. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people come together in groups. The people you recommend are all as stupid as you and are not suitable at all. Be a ghost."

Listening to the two people talking, Nan Linghe felt a little dizzy: "Brother Jie, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything?"

Gui Chamei glanced at Ye Jie and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so she spoke for Ye Jie:

"Your brother Jie once brought a ghost messenger to the door. That person seemed to be called Huabao. One look at his face showed that he couldn't hold his breath. The ghost messenger's job is to collect corpses and attract souls to maintain the movement of heaven in the world, isn't it? He fought against injustice and saved people from misfortunes. His mission that time was said to be to lure the soul of a woman who was about to fall into the hands of a thief. As a result, he was so strong-willed that he couldn't bear to see the woman being defiled by the thief, so he violated the laws of the underworld without authorization and took the girl away. The gang of thieves killed all the thieves. Although he saved the woman, he also violated the taboo of ghosts not to harm others maliciously, so he had to defect and run away. From then on, he was regarded as a evil ghost and was wanted by the underworld. The reward order is still hung in Guangwang. In the palace."

Nan Linghe covered his mouth in surprise: "If such a thing really happens...can't we...do nothing?"

Gui Chamei shook her head: "Everything has God's will, and everyone has a destiny. All Gui Cha can do is to obey the will of heaven. Those who disobey the precepts of the underworld can only become evil ghosts in the end. People with a righteous heart are not good ghosts. Poor."

At the end of the sentence, the corner of Gui Cha Mei's mouth slightly turned up, outlining a somewhat playful arc: "After Hua Bao defected, Ye Jie, as the ghost chai who issued the recommendation order to him, naturally could not escape the blame and was punished severely. Fifty thousand virtues."

As he said that, Guizamei slowly turned his deep eyes and landed on Nan Linghe, who did not dare to take a breath. His pale face looked even colder:
"Do you understand? If I issue a recommendation order to you, if you disobey the commandments of Hades, I will also punish you. Unless there is something really extraordinary about you, otherwise, I will never issue it easily. Recommendation order.”

Feeling the slightest chill on Gui Chamei's body, Nan Linghe shrank his neck, his eyes wandered, and he reached out to grab Ye Jie's sleeves.

Ye Jie patted Nan Linghe on the back to reassure her not to worry, and then spoke for her:

"Nan Linghe has a very special talent and magical power, which is enough to be qualified as a ghost. I don't have a single talent in my body, so why don't I still be a ghost for a year? In time, her achievements will definitely be higher than mine. "

Hearing this, Guizamei let out a series of chuckles, but there was teasing and ridicule in her eyes:
"That's not what I meant. The criterion for whether you can be a ghost is not based on your natural talents, but your inner nature. No matter how special her natural talents are, how special can she be? Can you still do it? Tell me, she has nine superior innate magical powers, but she was reincarnated through a first-level reincarnation?"

Seeing Nan Linghe dodge his eyes and move his whole body towards Ye Jie, Gui Chamei shook his head slightly and said:

"Nowadays, demons are running rampant in King Guang's palace. The more they destroy their conscience and focus on extracting virtue from wandering souls, the more sufficient cultivation resources they have, the more they can prosper. There are not many like you Brother Jie. . Upright and kind-hearted people should be treated as bad guys. The best result can only be like your brother Jie, who wasted sixty years in vain and gained nothing in the end. Are you really ready?"

Nan Linghe pursed his lips and was at a loss. Ye Jie was about to speak, but Gui Chamei made a hissing gesture to him. At the same time, he mercilessly exuded a cold and biting aura towards Nan Linghe, and his eyes were filled with tears. With a bit of scrutiny:
"There are only three kinds of ghosts in the world today. One is a stupid pig, like your brother Jie, and the other is a domesticated dog, like me. Which one are you?"

Ye Jie was helpless: "Is it really okay to call others pigs?"

Gui Chamei laughed: "Isn't it great that the pig is advancing so suddenly?"

Nan Linghe lowered his head slightly, counted his fingers, and whispered in an almost inaudible tone: "Pigs and dogs... aren't there only two kinds? Is there another kind?"

"Oh?" Gui Chamei became interested, reached out and slapped the table hard, stared at Nan Linghe and shouted loudly, "The last one is beyond the ordinary, and only exists in distant legends that make people yearn for and fear. They are destined to An existence that has nothing to do with you and me. That kind of thing is a dragon crossing the river. Do you think you are a dragon?!"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and dull. Except for Onizamei's shouts, which were still echoing in the elegant room, there was a dead silence. The wordless silence enveloped everyone, and even the breathing became completely frozen. What remained, Only unbearable depression and suffocation.

"You are not a dragon, nor a dog like me. You are just a wandering soul who has not understood the situation. I think you should be reincarnated as soon as possible. The underworld is not a suitable place for you. If you stay here, you will be accompanied by the ghosts of injustice. , Do you really have the courage to make an enemy of the evil ghost?"

Under the pressure of Gui Chamei's momentum, Nan Linghe tightened his body and opened his mouth, but could not say any words at all. He could only look at Ye Jie for help.

She didn't know when her hand had firmly grasped Ye Jie's cold and skinny palm. The force coming from it was so strong that even Ye Jie felt a slight pain. She opened her fragile and helpless eyes. The big eyes looked at Ye Jie, like a person falling into a river, longing for someone to pull him up.

Ye Jie sighed slightly, maybe asking Gui Chamei for a recommendation order was not a suitable idea, but if he didn't get the recommendation order, it frightened Nan Linghe, so he should think of a solution later.

Ye Jie was about to say something, but he heard a melodious and mysterious sound of the piano coming from outside the private room from far to near.

The sudden sound of the pipa is like the drizzle in early spring, which has the magical effect of nourishing the soul and dispelling the gloom of winter. The sound of the piano is neither fast nor slow, beautiful and sweet, just like a slowly unfolding picture scroll. Only by savoring it carefully can you understand the touching story outlined in it.

Although the owner of the sound has never been seen, as long as the melodious sound of the pipa gradually sounds, the image of the green jade fingers playing with the strings will appear in anyone's mind. The ancient and touching beautiful melody is enough to make the earth abandon and the rocks to clear the way.

In the private room, Gui Chamei was slightly startled after hearing this sound: "That's Sister Lan's Pipa Xuanyin... It's strange to say, I once heard other ghosts talk about Sister Lan being troubled by her worries. , as long as the strings are played, there is only endless bitterness, which makes people burst into tears. In recent days, I have been unable to continue playing. But now, when I listen to the piano, there is joy and joy in the sound. Could it be that she has swept away the haze in her heart? I don’t know which expert cured her heart disease..."

Shaking her head, Gui Cha Mei added: "Sister Lan's Pipa Xuanyin, all the Gui Cha who have heard it say bad things. It's just that the price of listening to one piece of music is really expensive. Even I was treated to a treat by the judge many years ago to celebrate my success." I was lucky enough to listen to a piece of music at the banquet, let alone Brother Jie. I’m afraid that in this life, I will never have the opportunity to listen to music..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a creak, and the door of the elegant room opened. What came forward was a soft and beautiful woman with round hair and a round face, wearing a sky blue and elegant off-shoulder skirt, and holding a white jade and ivory pipa in her arms.

The person who came was none other than Sister Lan whom Gui Chamei had mentioned. However, she saw that Sister Lan's plump red lips were slightly upturned. She bowed to the two people in the private room, lightly opened her red lips and said, "Little girl Yulan, I came here specially to pay homage to Ye." Brother Jie and Miss He performed a song to express their gratitude."

"What, this is impossible..." Seeing this scene in her eyes, Gui Chamei was dumbfounded. She glanced at Sister Lan and then at Ye Jie beside her. Her mouth opened wide for a moment, and her chin almost dropped to the ground. .
