Hell Emperor

Chapter 23 Xie Xinyu

Ye Jie and Nan Linghe came to Guangwang Hall, walked through the hall, and soon came to a solemn hall.

The palace towers into the clouds, and the upward stairs are paved with pure white bones. Countless bone pillars rise from the ground, with mysterious and mysterious patterns carved on them, exuding a grand and strange atmosphere.

Looking at the Bone Hall in the distance, the broken page in Ye Jie's arms was slightly touched, and he said: "This is the Document Hall, which is the most heavily defended place in the Guangwang Hall. There are three fifth-level judges guarding the hall at all times to record the increase and decrease in all evil virtues. His life and death book is stored there."

Nan Linghe was a little confused: "Book of Life and Death? Is it the piece of paper in Brother Jie's hand?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie took out the scrap page from his arms: "This is just a scrap page torn from the book of life and death. Every ghost officer will tear off a scrap page before joining the job. With it, you can It can quickly confirm one's own status, and it can also consume Yin De and conduct various inquiries. It can be regarded as a very powerful tool."

Nan Linghe said in surprise: "Every ghost has to tear it up? Wouldn't he tear up the book of life and death, leaving only a piece of skin in the end?"

Ye Jie smiled: "The Book of Life and Death is an artifact of the underworld. It is a book that cannot be turned to the end no matter how many times it is turned. No matter how many pages are torn off, there will be no problem. The power of the Book of Life and Death in the Document Hall now only has ten powers in its complete form. One part, the effect is more to record the increase or decrease of Yin Virtue. According to legend, the Book of Life and Death in its heyday was a first-class artifact in the hands of the Hades Emperor, but it was a pity that it was destroyed in the end..."

After listening to Ye Jie's introduction, Nan Linghe's eyes were filled with surprise: "Since the Book of Life and Death is so powerful, how could it be destroyed?"

"This has to be talked about the Monkey King who broke into the underworld hundreds of years ago..." Ye Jie shook his head, "There are three first-class artifacts in the world, namely the Heavenly Gods List, the human history book, The book of life and death in the underworld. Among them, the list of gods can make people instantly become immortals. No matter whose name is written on it, they can obtain the cultivation level of a black iron immortal above the fifth-level immortal realm. The history book of the years can modify the history of the world. The above Everything written will become a fact. The Book of Life and Death can determine the death date of all living beings, even the true immortals in the sky are no exception."

At the end, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh: "Since the Book of Life and Death was destroyed by the Monkey King, its level has long been no longer what it used to be. Now it has been divided into ten. Each of the ten halls of Yama has With a part of the Book of Life and Death in hand, there are only two first-class artifacts left in the world."

Ye Jie added: "The Book of Life and Death was once a first-class artifact. Even if it has been damaged now, there is still an extremely huge amount of spiritual power left inside. Every new recruit can enjoy a spiritual experience the moment he tears off the Book of Life and Death." Baptism of power. Make good use of this baptism opportunity to slightly improve your own cultivation. After you tear off the remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death, be sure to keep them close to your body. Those who can use the remaining pages are not only ghosts from the underworld. , if you lose it, it will be a serious crime."

After listening to Ye Jie's instructions, Nan Linghe nodded repeatedly, and the two of them came to the Document Hall together. Looking around, they saw that the surrounding documents were piled up, and the books filled with text were piled on top of each other, almost filling the road. And among the layers of books, you can see the busy figures of fourth- and fifth-level ghosts from time to time.

In the center of the Document Hall, there was a team of about ten people, all of whom, like Nan Linghe, had passed the imperial examination and were preparing to become official ghosts. At the front of the team, at the long table where the judge sits, there is a book of life and death that records the changes in morality.

After asking Nan Linghe to queue up, Ye Jie waited quietly.

At the front of the team, the wandering souls stepped forward one by one, selected a page from the book of life and death that was flipping rapidly and making clattering sounds, and tore it out. The moment they tore off the remaining pages, a burst of spiritual light appeared and quickly integrated into their bodies.

The auras that rise up vary in size, some are as big as a washbasin, and some are only as big as a thumb. After the spiritual light integrated into the body, the wandering souls had different expressions. Some were smiling and looking completely new, while others were sullen and could not see any changes.

Behind the team, Nan Linghe looked around. She tried to keep the actions of others in mind, hoping nothing would go wrong when it was her turn.

At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps sounded behind Nan Linghe, followed by a burst of proud humming from everyone:

"I didn't expect that the people who want to become ghosts with me are such a group of stupid guys. Apart from wasting my time, you are of no use at all. Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

The sound of the sound naturally attracted the attention of all the wandering souls, even Nan Linghe was no exception. Looking back, she saw a person behind her who looked arrogant and was glaring at everyone with cold eyes. woman in green. There is unwavering confidence in the woman's eyes. Even if she is just stared at by those eyes, she will feel flustered for no reason.

"Can you let me stand in front?" The woman glanced at Nan Linghe.

"Ah, why?" Nan Linghe was puzzled.

The woman in green clothes took out an examination paper from her arms. On the examination paper was written the words "Xie Xinyu, perfect pass". She said with great satisfaction: "Did you see that in the imperial examination just now, I got everything right, and you got it right again." How many?"

Nan Linghe lowered his head and looked at the test paper: "It's amazing... I only got three questions right."

"Three paths? You're not only right about the first three, right?" The woman in green smiled mockingly, "Since you are inferior to me, shouldn't you give way to me?"

"Oh, so that's it..." Nan Linghe nodded, quickly gave up his position, and stood behind the woman in green.

Even Ye Jie couldn't stand it anymore. He came to Nan Linghe and asked helplessly: "What are you doing?"

Nan Linghe tilted his head: "I'm making room for her."

Ye Jie put his hand on his forehead: "Of course I know what you are doing. I am asking you why you are doing this?"

"Because she answered more questions correctly than me?" Nan Linghe didn't know why, so he could only look at Ye Jie with confused eyes.

"...That doesn't seem to be a reason, right?" Ye Jie glanced at her, "The order of the team is not based on how many questions are answered correctly, but is decided on a first-come, first-served basis. Since you arrived before her, you should stand next to her. The front is right.”

"Tsk..." Listening to Ye Jie's story, even the woman in green couldn't help but turn around and glare at him, "I'll tell you why, because I am better than everyone here, and the only meaning of your existence is , just to delay me from becoming an official ghost errand."

Ye Jie raised his eyebrows: "How can you see that? Do you think that if you answer all the questions correctly in the imperial examination, you will be better than others?"

Hearing this, the woman in green looked at the book of life and death in the distance, and said with some satisfaction in her eyes: "I, Xie Xinyu, have a good knowledge of Zhouyi divination and am good at mathematics and feng shui. Who among these people can compare with me? Do you think she can?" Am I more powerful?"

Xie Xinyu glanced at Nan Linghe and saw that Nan Linghe shook his head quickly, then he smiled with satisfaction: "When you tear off the remaining pages of the book of life and death, the spiritual power baptism obtained is divided into nine levels. The strongest first-level baptism is enough to make a first-level People in the early stage immediately entered the first-level peak level. The final ninth-level baptism is not as effective as a low-level spiritual stone." She looked around proudly and said: "There are so many people here, how can there be so many people here? It is extremely rare for a person to receive fifth-level baptism, and according to the hexagrams, I can get fourth-level baptism at worst. What qualifications do you think these people have to be ranked in front of me?"

Listening to her bold words, the people in the front dared not speak out in anger. As Xie Xinyu said, they had no idea how to select the remaining pages that contained the most spiritual power. After all, from the outside, the pages in the Book of Life and Death were the same before they were torn off. They could only rely on luck to catch them blind. How could they be blinded by proficiency? Compared with Xie Xinyu of divination?
When no one answered, Xie Xinyu smiled complacently. At this moment, a sound came from her ears that made her smile freeze.

"You can't say that. How do you know that the spiritual baptism you have received must be the best? I can guarantee that there must be someone who has obtained a better spiritual baptism than you."

It was Ye Jie who said this. Seeing that someone dared to question, Xie Xinyu was about to explode: "Who do you think has the ability to obtain better spiritual baptism than me? Is it just based on these wandering souls who can't even understand mathematics? I want to see who has this ability."

Hearing this, Nan Linghe also looked around curiously, wanting to see who the person Brother Jie was talking about was.

Ye Jie reached out and patted Nan Linghe on the shoulder: "That person is right in front of you."

"Just her?" Xie Xinyu snorted and looked Nan Linghe up and down, obviously not taking her seriously.

"Huh? Me?" Even Nan Linghe pointed at himself and looked at Ye Jie with doubtful eyes.

Ye Jie was very sure about this and said to Xie Xinyu: "Don't you believe it? Why don't you make a small bet? The bet is the reward of one thousand yin virtues that you will get if you answer all the questions correctly in the imperial examination. How about you? Are you scared?"

"Do you think I will be afraid?" Xie Xinyu accepted the bet without hesitation, "Since you can't wait to give me a thousand Yin De, then I have to accept it. I want to see, you are not good at mathematics. How to select the best first-class baptism from the endless pages of the Book of Life and Death!"

After saying that, she stopped talking and held her breath. She used the time in line to return to the calmest state, thus creating an advantage for the next selection of residual pages.

On the side, Nan Linghe was also a little confused: "Brother Jie, why did you give Yin De to her?"

"What?" Ye Jie had no choice but to explain, "I'm not sending moral virtue to her, on the contrary, she is sending moral virtue to us. Even though all the pages in the book of life and death feel exactly the same, there are many characters in each page. The spiritual power contained therein is vastly different. She thinks she can get the best baptism by mastering the Zhouyi divination, and she looks down on others, so it's up to you to teach her a lesson."

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, Nan Linghe also showed a look that seemed to understand: "Brother Jie, what should I do?"

Ye Jie showed a confident look: "Don't worry, remember what I told you before? You don't need to think, just follow your feelings."

Hearing this, Nan Linghe smiled happily, it turned out that it was that simple.

Not long after, it was Xie Xinyu's turn to step forward. Under the gaze of the fifth-level judge, she stood still in front of the Book of Life and Death, and turned the pages of the book attentively and quickly, with gentle and dexterous movements.

What surprised the onlookers was that no matter how hard she turned, she could not reach the end of the page. Her eyes stared at the page without blinking. There was obviously nothing on the page, but what appeared above her pupils was In another scene, through the surface of the book page, she seemed to see the spiritual energy flowing underneath, and at the same time, she was rapidly making predictions in her heart.

"This is the page!"

Finally, after flipping through for as long as a cup of tea, Xie Xinyu's pupils narrowed and he accurately locked onto a page that looked unattractive, but was instead filled with some yellowing marks.

She stretched out her hand and tore it apart, and as the pages of the book separated from the book of life and death, a mass of spiritual energy the size of a person suddenly emerged and poured into her body.

Seeing such visions, the wandering spirits who had just received the Ghost Order showed incredulous expressions. The spiritual power that poured into Xie Xinyu's body was far greater than that that poured into their bodies. Compared with the ninth-level spiritual power baptism that was only as big as a thumb, it was more than a hundred times full. They talked about it for a while:

"Is that the power of Zhouyi Divination? It can select the pages containing the most spiritual power... I turned through hundreds of pages, and there is no difference in each page in my eyes. If it weren't for the judge's urging, I could stand here Choose a day and a night.”

"Now I understand why she is so conceited. If I had such ability, I would definitely be more conceited than her."

"Looking at this posture, it is a third-class baptism at least. The person who bets with her will definitely lose. That person doesn't know divination. How can we surpass her?"

After absorbing the spiritual power that emerged from the Book of Life and Death, Xie Xinyu exuded a full aura, and his soul became much more solid. His strength jumped from the early stage of the first stage to the late stage of the first stage. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction:
"Did you see it? This is the benefit of third-class baptism. Each ghost has only one chance to obtain spiritual baptism. Now it's your turn. I advise you to prepare a thousand Yin De as soon as possible."

Faced with Xie Xinyu's ridicule, Nan Linghe shrank his neck, like a frightened bird, and looked at Ye Jie again. After receiving Ye Jie's affirmative look, he mustered up the courage and walked towards the Book of Life and Death.

Standing in front of the Book of Life and Death, Nan Linghe wanted to imitate Xie Xinyu's movements and quickly turn the pages of the book, but as soon as he picked up the Book of Life and Death, his hand slipped and dropped it to the ground.

Behind him, Ye Jie's eyes widened. Not only him, but also the fifth-level judge supervising the matter could not calm down. Xie Xinyu laughed even louder: "What on earth are you doing? If you really can't show Yin De, why don't you admit defeat now?" You still have time."

"Ugh... I'm sorry..." Nan Linghe hurriedly picked up the book of life and death, not daring to flip through it again, and tore off a page.

Seeing this, Xie Xinyu couldn't help but shook his head: "I thought you were so powerful that you actually wanted to challenge me, who is proficient in Zhouyi divination. Now it seems that you can only do random things, so you should hurry up and get ready. Qian Yinde, haha...wait..."

Before Xie Xinyu finished speaking, the scene that happened before her eyes made her speechless, and she could no longer utter a syllable in her throat.

As Nan Linghe tore off the page, the majestic spiritual energy rushed out from the book of life and death. The surging spiritual energy turned into undulating waves, wrapping her in dense clouds. Looking from a distance, she felt as if she was in a dream. wonderland.
