Hell Emperor

Chapter 39 Magnolia - Requiem
After the maid finished transcribing the classics, Hua Xiaomei saw the content of the Soul Purification Jue in her eyes, sighed secretly in her heart, and asked Ye Jie with interest:

"By the way, what are you going to do with that pale evil spirit?"

Ye Jie answered truthfully: "Her name is Luo Bei. She did a lot of good deeds during her lifetime. She died with strong resentment and eventually turned into an evil ghost. She is very resistant to re-entering reincarnation and is still tied up in her heart. I will help her." Fulfill her last wish and send her into reincarnation."

Hua Xiaomei said insinuatingly: "If it were me, I would probably follow the example of Master Black Eagle and enslave the evil spirit for a hundred years so that she can earn virtue for me. She is a third-level ghost who has cultivated the Dharma Body, and her strength is incredible. She’s not strong. With her, many things will become much more convenient. If you want freedom, you have to exchange it for a million yuan of virtue, right?”

Ye Jie shook his head helplessly and followed her words: "... As a result, he was attacked by a fierce ghost midway, and he ended up in the same state of disgrace as Master Black Eagle."

Hua Xiaomei smiled coquettishly: "I must be more careful than Master Black Eagle."

"Luobei did nothing wrong during her lifetime and should not be enslaved like this. She did many good deeds during her lifetime, but in the end she died with resentment. Heaven has treated her unfairly. As ghosts, how can we continue to harm her? To her?" Ye Jie asked back.

"The old gentleman has something to say: The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. The way the world is, we can't protect ourselves and can't change anything at all." Hua Xiaomei waved her hand.

Ye Jie smiled: "You only know this sentence, but I don't know what the old man has to say: Heaven has no connection with good people, but do good deeds and don't ask about the future. Maybe we are unable to change the world, but we can stick to our true intentions. Don’t let the world change you.”

Hua Xiaomei was startled and said nothing. She just looked at Ye Jie with a different kind of light flashing from time to time. Even Poria's bright eyes looking at Ye Jie became extremely soft.

"By the way, have you ever seen Gui Chaan in the underworld? Peaceful An."

After some small talk, Ye Jie remembered something important and asked everyone.

"Gui Cha'an? Why are you asking for this information?" Fu Ling raised her eyebrows, as if she knew something.

Ye Jie told the situation truthfully: "From Master Black Eagle's hiding place, I found a ghost order, with the word 'An' engraved on it. I suspect that Master Black Eagle is none other than Ghost Order An." Contacts in the human world may cause trouble in the future.”

Fu Ling took a deep breath: "If the situation is true, it is not an ordinary trouble. The ghost mission order with the word 'an' engraved on it does not belong to ordinary ghost missions, but belongs to a certain great power in the impermanent realm."

"What?" Hearing this, Hua Xiaomei suddenly lost her composure and screamed, "When you asked us to deal with Master Black Eagle, you didn't tell us that there was a fourth-level black and white impermanence standing behind him! This time it's terrible! It’s too bad, if the ghosts from the Impermanent Realm find out about this and plan to deal with us, we can say that we have no power to resist.”

Ye Jie also understood the seriousness of the matter and asked quickly: "Are you sure? Is that ghost chaan really a high-level ghost chap in the impermanent realm?"

Fu Ling nodded slightly: "I am 100% sure that the Ghost Chai An is Bai Wuchang named Xie Bian. I was in the wine country a few days ago and saw his Ghost Chai Order with my own eyes. The exact words engraved on it were It's the word 'an'. If Master Black Hawk is really his contact person, things will be really troublesome..."

"What? It turned out to be that Bai Wuchang. This is really bad." Hua Xiaomei said in a trembling voice.

Ye Jie asked further: "Do you know anything else about Xie Bian?"

Fu Ling pondered for a while and revealed the information: "Xie Bi'an has been working hard in the underworld for many years, and is now the head of the Xie family. The Xie family is powerful, and its influence has penetrated deeply into the human world and the underworld, and it controls cultivation resources that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. I heard that Not long ago, the Xie family on earth sent down a direct descendant with outstanding talents. That person was extremely good at Feng Shui and has now become an official ghost servant. A few days ago, Xie Bian came to the wine country to hold a banquet, just to honor that person. Gui Chai receives the wind and washes away the dust, that person seems to be called Gui Chai Yu..."

"Wait a minute..." Ye Jie was startled, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, glanced at Nan Linghe and said, "It can't be such a coincidence, right? Gui Chaiyu is also a member of the Xie family..."

Nan Linghe scratched his head, with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Who is Gui Chayu?"

Ye Jie was almost defeated by her: "It's Xie Xinyu who challenged you a few days ago. Have you forgotten? You still have to beat her within a year, otherwise you have to give her all your gains for the year. What did I say about her? Feiyang is domineering and arrogant. He turns out to be a member of a noble family, and he is backed by a high-level ghost in the Impermanence Realm."

Hearing what Ye Jie said, Nan Linghe finally remembered: "Oh~ it turns out to be her."

Ye Jie helplessly held his forehead. He didn't expect that Nan Linghe would forget Gui Chaiyu's challenge so quickly. If he hadn't reminded her, she would have lost the challenge.

"These are not the important points, right? That's Xie Bian, the powerful Bai Wuchang. What should we do now? If he finds us, how will we respond?" Hua Xiaomei said with trembling teeth and a sad look on her face.

Fu Ling shook her folding fan and said, "Master Black Eagle has done many evil things, and he deserves to be left with a broken spirit. Now that the matter has come to this, if Xie Bian pursues him, I will accept all his moves no matter what."

Hua Xiaomei said with a mournful face: "Of course you are not afraid. You are the head maid of the wine country, and you have the support of ghosts and immortals behind you. Not to mention impermanence, even the judge can't do anything to you. Brother Jie and I will be miserable. If we are like this A humble second-level ghost servant might be crushed to death by Xie Bian if he's not careful, Brother Jie, are you right?"

Ye Jie also felt very difficult and analyzed: "As long as we don't use the Xuanying Step and the Soul Purification Art, even Xie Bian can't determine our identity based on the traces left in the battle. Maybe this matter can be hidden." past."

Hua Xiaomei glared at Fuling and said reluctantly: "Aren't the skills just for use? If you don't use these skills, what's the difference from not learning them? In this mission, we put ourselves in danger and offended someone. Xie Bian, who is in the realm of impermanence, in my opinion...you have to pay more."

Ye Jie was speechless: "I don't care about my life, but I still need my moral character. Do you think Xie Bian will forgive you because of these moral virtues after he finds you?"

Hua Xiaomei was also helpless: "Then what should I do? I don't know the high-level ghosts in the Impermanence Realm. If something happens, Guangwang Palace will not be able to stay any longer, so I can only run away to Tianxuan Palace, and That requires a lot of virtue."

After hearing Xie Bian's name, several people were dejected, and the joy of harvesting the skills was gone.

Nan Linghe's eyes suddenly lit up and he suggested: "How about this, Sister Mei, you can also move into the basement of Aunt Meng's wine country and live with us so that we can take care of each other."

Ye Jie nodded slightly: "Staying in the Guixian's territory, even Xie Bi'an would not dare to be arrogant here. This is also an option, but I don't know if the owner of the basement, Fuling, will allow this..." Fuling gently He glanced at Ye Jie and said, "I lent the basement to Nan Linghe. She has the final say on who is allowed to live in it. She doesn't have to report to me. It was indeed me who got you and Hua Xiaomei involved in the conflict with Xie Bi'an. It’s not a good idea. To avoid trouble, you might as well stay here.”

"Really? I can live in this high-end wine country?" Hua Xiaomei said in surprise.

Ye Jie reminded her: "Don't be too happy. There is no furniture in the basement. If you think you are living in a magnificent palace, you will probably be disappointed."

"How could you be disappointed? This is a wine town run by ghost fairies. Being able to live in the same room as a real fairy is what every ghost has dreamed of." Hua Xiaomei sighed and looked at Nan Ling with grateful eyes. He, "Thank you for inviting me. I didn't expect that one day I would become a drowned dog. From now on, I will protect you like Brother Jie."

Nan Linghe opened his big eyes, smiled calmly, and heard Ye Jie say in a rather helpless tone: "I don't trust you to protect her. If we encounter a battle in the future, it will be considered a success if you don't be the first to be injured."

Hua Xiaomei pouted, unable to find words to refute.

Just as a few people were chatting, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Following the sound, they saw Chang Yulan, a maid with round hair and a round face, wearing an elegant azure dress, rushing away with an anxious look on her face. Come here, holding the white jade lute in your arms.

"Hello, Sister Lan." Ye Jie stood up, clasped his fists in salute, and patted Nan Linghe beside him, signaling her to say hello as well. Nan Linghe obviously didn't understand the meaning and looked at him with doubtful eyes, not understanding why he wanted to take a picture of himself.

After seeing Ye Jie, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard from Bai Luo that your group was injured and are recovering in the hospital. I was still worried about whether something would happen, so I came over to visit. Now I see that you are okay. That’s good.”

"Huh." Poria snorted softly. Seeing Yulan looking at Ye Jie lovingly, she felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. She opened the folding fan and said, "I'm injured too, why don't you care about me?"

Seeing the thorn in Fuling's words, Yulan raised her eyes and responded lightly: "It seems that the injury is not serious enough. If it were more serious, you would not have the strength to speak."

"What?" Fuling was furious, but it affected her injury and kept coughing. If she hadn't been lying on the hospital bed, she would have had a good argument with Yulan. Nan Linghe, who was anxiously on the side, quickly brought the medicinal soup and carefully Feed her and take it.

Ye Jie coughed dryly and persuaded: "Don't be angry, Fuling, your injury is not healed yet, doing this will only make you more uncomfortable. Yu Lan, you are the same, you know that her injury is not healed yet, so don't be angry with her. "

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, Fuling turned her head and flapped the folding fan quickly in her hand without responding. Yulan just smiled softly, pulled Ye Jie and said, "Since Brother Jie said so, then I will do it. I won’t disturb you all.”

Ye Jie nodded, and as if he thought of something, he asked: "By the way, has Sister Lan ever heard of the Soul Purification Art?"

Yulan nodded slightly: "I heard that it is a technique used by ghost cultivators to refine souls. Does Brother Jie want this technique?"

Ye Jie waved his hand and said: "I have obtained that skill book from an evil cultivator. Not only that, I also found a third-level ghost who has not been refined yet and whose mind has fallen into violent chaos. Hearing the way of music can comfort me. The human heart, soothe the restlessness in the heart, I want to know whether relying on the melody of the way of music to soothe the evil ghost can restore its sanity?"

Yulan smiled faintly: "Brother Jie has found the right person. A major sign of a musician who follows the path of gods and enters the third-level ox-horse realm is that he can convey the artistic conception contained in the music to the ears of ox-horses who have no sense of rhythm at all. , to make him be inspired by the music, which is what is meant by playing the lute to a cow. With my ability, I am enough to meet Brother Jie's requirements."

Ye Jie's face lit up, and soon he smiled bitterly: "With my evil spirit, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to Sister Lan's song. Don't you know that Sister Lan collects the spiritual stone?"

Yulan covered her lips and smiled softly. She was about to say something, but she heard Fuling say first, "What's so difficult about this? I'll pay for it for you."

Fu Ling suddenly interrupted, which made Yu Lan very angry. Her breathing was rapid, her chest was heaving, and she stared with almond eyes: "Eight thousand and eight hundred evil virtues, not even a penny less will be enough."

"I'll give you an extra two hundred, but I won't take it lightly for just nine thousand virtues." Fu Ling shook her folding fan, with a cold confidence between her brows.

Ye Jie was helpless, why were the head maids in the wine country quarreling among themselves? He had no choice but to change the subject and said: "Sister Lan, I think it's better to find a safe location and release the evil spirit. The hospital is full of wounded people. It would be difficult if the evil spirit breaks out and hurts people."

Yulan nodded lightly: "It should be so, then please ask Brother Jie to lead the way."

After letting a few people rest and recover here, Ye Jie took out the Shuochi Stone and Qingmingzhi, and left with Magnolia, and soon moved to a sunny beach.

"Master." As soon as he arrived, Ye Jie heard a call full of surprise. Xia Wei ran over quickly, and her eyes fell on Yu Lan, who was holding Pipa in her arms. A trace of doubt appeared on her pretty face, "Who is she?"

"She is Yulan, my friend in Hades." Ye Jie introduced.

"Do you still have an apprentice in the world?" Yu Lan looked Xia Wei up and down, and saw that she had a childish appearance and a pair of braids tied behind her head. She was not very old, but her eyebrows were sharp, and there was a decisive look hidden in her blade-like eyes. Shafa couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Ye Jie nodded: "She is Xia Wei, my apprentice."

Xia Wei cupped her fists and bowed, saluting Yu Lan: "Since you are Master's friend, you should be bowed down by Xiao Wei."

Yulan played the piano and returned the greeting, then heard Ye Jie say: "Okay, Xia Wei. Yulan is the best at music. When she plays music later, you have to protect her surroundings and don't let monsters disturb her."

Xia Wei nodded in agreement, and Ye Jie took out the soul-summoning flag and the golden bell from his arms: "Next, I will release the third-level ghosts from the soul-summoning flag, and I will worry about you Yulan for the rest. .”

Magnolia played the pipa strings with her bare hands, and the melodious music sounded in everyone's ears. The soft melody contained the inspiring power of music: "Leave it to me."
