Hell Emperor

Chapter 4 Xia Wei
"What kind of ghost are you? Have you seduced my father's soul? Now you are here to seduce my brother's soul?"

In the cold wind, the girl raised her head and asked the ghost, who was as thin as a withered pine, in a sharp voice. A pair of braids fluttered behind her head, and her childish and pretty face shone with lingering determination.

"Xiaowei! Don't be rude!"

The old man quickly scolded: "Gui Cha Ye Jie is my great benefactor. Thanks to him, I can come back from the underworld to see you for the last time. You can't talk to him like this!"

After listening to the old man's story, the girl lowered her head with guilt on her face: "My dear friend, I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you..."

Ye Jie stared at her for a long time before slowly speaking: "Xia Xianshou, your daughter is extraordinary."

"Master Gui Cha, how do you say this?" The old man was stunned and asked hurriedly.

Ye Jie looked at Xia Wei carefully: "If I'm not mistaken, your daughter is the reincarnation of an immortal."

"What!" The old man was overjoyed and a little unbelievable, "Master Gui Cha, could it be that you got it wrong? Don't I know what my daughter is like? She is just an ordinary peasant girl, how could she do this? Is it related to the immortals in the sky?"

"Do you still remember the level of reincarnation I told you?" Ye Jie changed his words.

Seeing the old man nodding, Ye Jie continued: "The reincarnation of the ninth grade requires one hundred yin virtues, and you will be reborn in a poor family in the next life. The reincarnation of the eighth grade requires one thousand yin virtues, and you will live in a homeless family. The reincarnation of the seventh grade requires ten thousand yin virtues, and you will live in a poor family. . To be reincarnated in the sixth grade requires one hundred thousand yin virtues, to live in an Ankang family..."

Ye Jie paused for a moment: "Since the sixth-grade reincarnation, you can receive additional innate magical powers at birth. The sixth-grade reincarnation can only obtain one innate magical power, while the legendary first-grade reincarnation can obtain both. Acquire nine innate magical powers. Your daughter will have nine innate magical powers that are hard to find."

At the end, even Ye Jie couldn't help but tremble slightly:

"First-level reincarnation... is not prepared for mortals or ghosts at all. If you want to be reincarnated at the first level, you need to consume 10 billion yin virtues! A mortal who has done good deeds for hundreds of years will not accumulate even a fraction of 10 billion yin virtues. Only the true immortals in heaven can display such evil virtue!"

After listening to what Ye Jie said, the old man's soul could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and danced like a child: "Great, my daughter is a fairy in the sky! She no longer has to suffer like me!"

Ye Jie didn't want to pour cold water on him, but he still corrected him: "To be precise, she was once an immortal. Now she has long forgotten all the memories of her previous life in reincarnation. In addition to the nine innate magical powers, she is also different from ordinary people. It’s no different. If she still has one ten thousandth of the cultivation level of the True Immortal Realm, how can she let the Hengshan Bandit show off his power here?"

Hearing this, the old man's heart sank to the bottom, and he said with a sad face: "Master Gui Cha... what should she do?"

Different from the old man, Ye Jie's eyes flickered when he looked at the girl, as if he was seeing some kind of rare treasure:
"Ordinary people are lucky enough to draw a third-grade talent. They can use this talent to become famous in the world of cultivation. None of your daughter's nine talents is lower than third-grade. Once she embarks on the path of cultivation, , isn’t that soaring to the sky? In time, she will become famous in the three realms. What she lacks now is an opportunity to help her embark on the path of cultivation. "

With that said, Ye Jie walked forward slowly and stood in front of Xia Wei. Xia Wei raised her head, her bright eyes seemed to see hope.

"Miss Xia Wei, I want to have a good relationship with you."

Ye Jie reached into his arms and took out two books with dark and ominous covers.

"The exercises practiced by mortals are divided into three levels from high to low: heaven, earth, and human. Each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. There are two sets of exercises here, one of which is the lower-level exercise of the human level. Method: Soul-Breaking Arrow, which allows you to gather the power of your soul to form an arrow that directly hits the enemy's soul. The other is a mid-level human-level skill: Soul-Restraining Rope, which allows you to form a rope with the power of your soul. , to bind the enemy's soul and make it unable to move. I want to teach you one of the techniques, but I must remind you that although the soul-binding rope is of a higher grade, it is much more difficult to practice than the soul-breaking arrow. You should understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew, which book do you want to learn more?"

Xia Wei stared at the two exercises, with a bit of stubbornness on her pretty face, and said with a puffed mouth: "My dear friend, I want to learn both."

"Xiaowei, why are you so greedy? Master Gui Cha is willing to teach you the skills, which is already your blessing, but you don't know what to do, eh... I'm so anxious!" The old man stamped his feet anxiously at the side.

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Jie waved his hands lightly: "These two books are soul cultivation techniques from the underworld. It is probably as difficult for ordinary people to practice as climbing to heaven. It is common for them to be unable to make progress for decades. It's rare for you to have such ambition, so I will give them to you." The two techniques are taught to you together, and how much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny."

Ye Jie opened the book that recorded the Soul-Breaking Arrow and carefully explained the difficulties to Xia Wei. Snowflakes fell on Xia Wei's long eyelashes, but she didn't even blink and tried to understand the mystery of the magic.

An hour later, Xia Wei stood up. She folded her palms in front of her and slowly pushed them outward.

The dark sharp arrows condensed at the intersection of her palms, and then shot out suddenly as she pushed forward, drawing a long black line in the air, causing a fierce sound of breaking wind, and finally disappeared into the wind and snow.

Ye Jie nodded in praise: "In this way, your soul-breaking arrow has reached the entry-level stage. The soul-cultivation technique is vicious and treacherous, and is designed to destroy the enemy's soul. Do not use such moves when sparring with others. "

At the end of the sentence, Ye Jie sighed slightly: "I think back to the beginning, in order to practice this low-level soul-breaking arrow, it took me ten years to get started, twenty years to master it, and thirty years to achieve it. Now you One hour of practice is equivalent to ten years of hard work. Should I be said to be the reincarnation of a true immortal..."

Xia Wei covered her mouth and exclaimed. Even though she had just embarked on the path of spiritual practice, she realized that she had an incredible talent, but what followed was deep self-blame.

She was thoughtful, as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head and pursed her lips and glanced at Ye Jie secretly. Logically speaking, if her decades of hard training were surpassed by her in one hour, anyone would be disappointed. Aggrieved?
Ye Jie just smiled with relief: "I am not a jealous person. My cultivation qualifications are inherently inferior, so how can I dare to compare with the reincarnation of a true immortal? Miss Xia Wei, I am sincerely happy for the progress you have made."

"Next, I will teach you the soul-binding cultivation method..."

Ye Jie opened another classic and recounted the essential points.

Following Ye Jie's narration, Xia Wei quickly abandoned the distracting thoughts in her heart and concentrated on understanding the mystery of the magic. The snow fell silently, and everything in the world seemed to have gone away from her. The only thing that could reach her ears was Ye Jie's unhurried words of explanation.

This preaching lasted from noon to dusk, and from dusk to midnight. It wasn't until the moment Ye Jie closed the book that Xia Wei's eyes shone brightly. She let out a sweet shout, and the dark rope tied with a thin rope flew and circled in her hand, causing a strong wind nearby.

"In this way, you can be considered an introduction to the soul-binding rope." Ye Jie said with emotion, "It took me a full twenty years to get started with the soul-binding rope."

Xia Wei loosened the noose and stood still in front of Ye Jie. The girl's slender body that has not yet grown out also makes her look much shorter than the tall ghost. Even if she stands on tiptoe, her height can still only reach Ye Jie's chest.

"Can I call you master?" Xia Wei blinked and asked suddenly.

Ye Jie laughed: "I only know two kinds of skills, and now you have learned them all. You are the reincarnation of a true immortal. With your talent, I am afraid that within a few months, you will be able to surpass my level of cultivation. Because. The land of China is so vast, and there are many people who are more capable than me. I am just a small second-level ghost, and I am not worthy to be your master."

Xia Wei didn't care what Ye Jie said, she knelt stubbornly in the snow, her eyes were so persistent, and she looked like she wouldn't get up if Ye Jie didn't agree:

"No matter what level Xiaowei reaches in her future practice, she will never forget the grace of preaching today. In Xiaowei's heart, Ye Jie will always be my master."

Ye Jie really couldn't resist her. Unexpectedly, Xia Wei was young but had a stubborn temper like an ox. He couldn't pull her back no matter how hard he tried, so he finally had to agree to her request.

The snow had stopped, and a bright moon hung over the Milky Way. The moonlight seemed to cover Xia Wei with a veil made of white jade. Seeing that Ye Jie finally recognized her as his apprentice, a lingering smile appeared on Xia Wei's frosty face. She opened her watery eyes and respectfully shouted: "Master!"

Ye Jie scratched his head. He originally just wanted to have a good relationship with the reincarnation of the real immortal, but he didn't expect that he was recognized as his master and got a cheap apprentice. He didn't hesitate at the moment, but fulfilled his master's duties and helped Xia Wei. Planning says:

"With your talent, you only need to find a deep mountain and old forest, live in seclusion and practice for more than ten or twenty years. When you come out of the mountain, you will be invincible, and there will be no rival in the world. By then, you will not be able to rely on the vastness of the sea. The fish leaps, and the sky is high enough for the birds to fly?”

After a pause, Ye Jie added: "Don't worry about the skills. Since you call me master, I won't let you call me master in vain. I still have thousands of yin virtues in me. I'll borrow some from other ghosts to make up for one." Wan, I should be able to replace you with a good mid-level human level skill."

Xia Wei was stunned, her little head shaking restlessly: "Ten or twenty years? Then how can I avenge my father and brother against the Hengshan bandit?"

Ye Jie advised: "The Hengshan bandit is in good fortune, and his rise is unstoppable. The right answer is to avoid his sharp edge and keep a low profile."

Xia Wei's delicate eyes suddenly ignited with raging hatred. She arched her back slightly and screamed in a low voice: "Only by cutting the body of the Hengshan thief into thousands of pieces, crushing his bones and scattering ashes, can the hatred in my heart be relieved!"

Ye Jie sighed slightly: "Practice is not about fighting and killing, and there is no need to rush for revenge. When you return to the realm of true immortals, you will find that the so-called Hengshan thief is just a grain of sand under the big waves. The so-called multi-doing is not good. Righteousness will lead to death. The Hengshan thief killed many people in the wild. You don't need to take action at all. There will be righteous knights to deal with him. Maybe one day, you will hear the news of the Hengshan thief's death."

Xia Wei raised her head and did not back down in her words: "If I can't kill the Hengshan thief with my own hands, what's the point of reaching a higher level in my practice? I've made up my mind, Master, don't try to persuade me any more!"

"You...hey."

Ye Jie was helpless. He didn't expect that Xia Wei looked slim but had such a strong and decisive temperament. Once she was sure of something, she would not listen to anyone's words and would insist on achieving her own goals.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Ye Jie had to change his words: "I once caught a glimpse of the Hengshan Bandit from a distance. His cultivation level has reached the late stage of the third-level oxen and horse realm. He can explode with the power of ten oxen and ten horses with just his physical body. You You have just embarked on the path of cultivation, you are only in the first level of Qi training, and you have only learned two techniques. Even with the blessing of your innate magical powers, you are far from the opponent of the Hengshan thief now."

Xia Wei nodded thoughtfully, and then heard Ye Jie say: "I feel ashamed to say that my master's cultivation is only at the early stage of the second-level soul-building realm in the ghost path, and is still far from the third-level ox-horse realm. Yin and Yang have Don't forget, if the ghost is malicious and harms others, the light will be deducted of time and virtue, punished as a beast for three lifetimes, or the worst will be thrown into the soul-devouring abyss and never enter reincarnation. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in the battle. If you want revenge, You can only rely on yourself.”

"How can I improve my realm?" Xia Wei asked.

"Exhaling spiritual energy, taking spiritual pills, and devouring spiritual beasts are the three most mainstream methods of cultivation." Ye Jie said, "With your extraordinary talent, even if you don't do anything, you just need to follow what I teach you. By using the breathing method to breathe out spiritual energy, you can advance to the second-level body-building realm within a few months, and to the third-level cow-horse realm within a few years. At that time, you will have the power to fight against the Hengshan bandits."

"I can't wait that long. Is there a faster way?" Xia Wei asked.

"Taking elixirs can increase your realm, but that method is very far away for you. You need to find a strange person named an 'alchemist', promise to pay a lot of money, and take out precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures , in order to get a spiritual pill that can greatly improve your cultivation level and even break through the bottleneck."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued: "Spiritual beasts, also known as monsters, refer to ferocious beasts that swallow the essence of the sun and the moon and embark on the path of spiritual practice. Their bodies contain rich spiritual power. As long as they are cooked into delicacies, , after a feast, you can also slightly improve your own cultivation. It should be noted that humans eat monsters, and monsters are also cannibals. Monsters are not afraid of death, are wild and untamable, and are often more difficult to deal with than monks of the same level. "

Ye Jie looked into the distance: "The world is divided into four realms. With your talent as an immortal reincarnation, if you were born in Luzhou, Beiju, a place with many sects and wide open immortal sects, and then became a disciple of a famous teacher, you would probably be cultivated as a treasure. , eat the panacea as jelly beans, and choose the heaven-level skills at will. Unfortunately, you were born in Nanzhan Continent where the dynasty monopolizes and resources are scarce. All the cultivation resources need to be obtained by yourself. There is no shortcut. .”

Xia Wei came to Ye Jie's side and stood side by side with her master: "Disciple, don't be afraid."

Ye Jie raised a dry finger and pointed into the distance: "If you go south, beyond Qingshi Town, you will find the Bone Burial Beach outside the Jinghe River. Countless mortals accidentally enter it and lose their lives every year. There are a large number of aquatic monsters living there. Beasts, among which the first-level 'crayfish' and the second-level 'hairy crab' are the main ones. If you can eat them to assist your cultivation, you will be able to advance to the third-level cattle and horse realm within a few months."

"Disciple, learn from me." Xia Wei bowed respectfully to Ye Jie.

"It's getting late. It's time to say goodbye to the souls of your father and brother so that I can bring them back into reincarnation." Ye Jie reminded.
