Hell Emperor

Chapter 56 Ghost Chaba-Ranking
In the Pingdong Hall, the announcement of the ghost missions event is still going on.

"This year, the one who won the title of the best ghost in the Witch Temple is - Miko Ina! A total of 2.7 million Yinde was obtained throughout the year!"

The person whose name was heard was a young girl with a cool temperament. She was wearing a red and white witch costume with wide and flowing sleeves. She was bowing to the ghosts around her calmly.

"Next is the Tianxuan Palace. In the twelfth year of the Zhenguan calendar, the best ghost in the spring is Guizacheng, who has obtained a total of 270,000 yin virtues..."

Gui Cha Ba's expression was tense. Di Ting had already announced the best ghost chariots in the eight halls. He read out the names of the elites one after another, and finally came to Nanzhan Buzhou. He only waited for Tianxuan Palace to pass, and then it was Guang's turn. The king's palace.

Looking at the ranking on the performance list, Gui Chajie's heart was beating fast. Although no matter how he calculated it, he should be the best Gui Chai in Guangwang Palace this year, but Gui Chajie's bright red name ranked second was It's so dazzling that it feels like it's stuck in your throat.

Ye Jie's sudden rise in ranking actually put it under serious threat. On a normal day, judging from the number of yin virtues it had gained in the Guangwang Hall, it would have been impossible for it to happen.

"Hmph, Guizhajie... you have always been ranked at the bottom, but this time you are qualified to be ranked behind me. You should be proud of this, but the position of the best ghost in winter must belong to me. of!"

Gui Chaba roared angrily, and even looked at Di Ting in the eyes, which also became unkind. Only when everything has settled down can it feel at ease. He cursed secretly: "Humph! Why is this monster's announcement so slow? ! Damn it, don’t be like a turtle, read it to me quickly!”

On the stage, Di listened to the words for a moment, and his amber eyes as big as copper bells accurately locked the ghost in the crowd.

Locked by the aura of the mythical beast, Gui Cha Ba knew that he had made a mistake and remained silent, quietly waiting for the final result to come.

However, offending the mythical beast that symbolized auspiciousness also caused Gui Chaba's luck to be compromised invisibly. Di Ting looked at it carefully and deliberately prolonged the sentence, wanting to say it for a long time.

Gui Cha Ba was stunned and couldn't express his pain, so he had to grit his teeth secretly. No matter what, the final victory must belong to it.

…………

The top of the Black Mountain.

After all the men of the Hengshan Bandit jumped into it, Ye Jie put the soul-calling flag in his arms, looked around, and said loudly:

"I don't know which sir has protected my life secretly. Please show up now."

There was no one around, and the only answer to Ye Jie was the dark wind blowing under the cliff.
Ye Jie was unwilling to give up and continued: "The Hengshan Bandit at the peak of the third level, his heart-destroying demon palm, even if it is only a long-range attack, is definitely not something I can withstand in the middle of the second level. The end that awaits me should be that I will be completely stunned." Yes. Under his full palm, my soul was intact and I was not even injured at all. This was thanks to the secret protection of the senior. Ye Jie also wanted to come out to see me. Ye Jie wanted to express his gratitude to the senior in person. "

Under Ye Jie's call, he saw ripples in the space in front of him, and indeed someone was moving.

The person was a woman with shark teeth, triangular eyes, and lifeless eyes. There was a deep aura of exhaustion all over her body. The power of the fifth-level Immortal Realm could not cheer her up.

Ye Jie recognized her identity as Guazi, one of the chief maids in the wine country. He cupped his fists and said, "Thanks to Miss Guazi's help, Ye Jie was able to save his life and not end up in a state of despair. This life-saving grace..."

Before Ye Jie could finish speaking, Guazi waved his hand and said weakly: "Aunt Meng told me. If you want to repay, just repay Aunt Meng. It happens that Aunt Meng is looking for trouble, so come with me."

"Look for me at this time..."

Ye Jie was stunned for a moment, with a troubled look on his face. He was concerned about the safety of his apprentice. When he saw Xia Wei leaving, he frowned and was filled with anger. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen. With Xia Wei's stubborn and even paranoid temperament, he might cause trouble. What trouble comes.

However, rejecting Guazi, who had just saved him, was unreasonable both emotionally and rationally. Ye Jie sighed slightly and moved away with Guazi. He could only pray secretly in his heart that Xia Wei would not cause any trouble.

Returning to the familiar wine country, Ye Jie's eyes froze, but he saw that the zenith of the wine country, which used to be clear and clear, was shrouded in layers of dark clouds. Among the dark clouds, thunder was raging and arcs were surging, as if a storm was coming. precursor.

Guazi moved forward. Although Ye Jie had doubts in his heart, he could only press down temporarily, followed behind Guazi, and quickly climbed to the top of the wine country.

Entering the Splendid Hall on the top floor, Ye Jie also saw many familiar faces, including Magnolia holding a pipa, Poria cocos holding a folding fan, Mint with cat ears, Bailuo with a floating chair, and the other two maids. , all waiting here.

Different from the cheerful and festive atmosphere in the wine country in the past, this time, all the head maids had frowns and depressed expressions.

The sentimental Magnolia was secretly wiping her tears with her hands. Now that she saw Ye Jie coming, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart. She threw herself into Ye Jie's arms involuntarily and sobbed softly against his shoulder.

"It's okay...I'm here with you."

Ye Jie stretched out his hand, patted Yulan's back, and comforted her slowly.

Under Ye Jie's repeated words of comfort, Yulan's expression improved, but she refused to let go of the hand holding Ye Jie. She heard Ye Jie ask again:

"Who can tell me what is going on here? Why do you all look so worried? Is there any bad news?"

Poria shook the folding fan and sighed: "It's not bad news. Speaking of it, it should be considered good news, but separation is inevitable... Hey. After Aunt Meng left, the wine country seemed to have been lost. Without Guixian as the backbone, many things will become quite troublesome in the future."

"Leave..." Ye Jie was stunned, thinking of the thunderclouds gathering over the wine country, and suddenly understood, "Could it be that Aunt Meng is planning to..."

Bai Luo on the seat took over the words and said: "The deadline has come. Aunt Meng has tried her best to delay the coming of the calamity cloud, but in the end it is difficult to escape the fatal calamity. The ghostly Ye Jie, it is his turn now. It’s time for you to take action.”

"I see..." Ye Jie thought thoughtfully.

"Now is not a good time for reincarnation. The news of the demon king's reincarnation has made people in Nanzhan Buzhou panic. I really don't understand why Aunt Meng insists on reincarnating in Nanzhan Buzhou..." The heroic maid chief holding a green bamboo spear Slowly speaking, Yu Lan introduced her identity to Ye Jie. Her name was Yunzhu.

Mint put her hands behind her head, and the cat ears on her head drooped: "We can't guess what Aunt Meng is thinking. All we can do is to find Aunt Meng's reincarnation as soon as possible and protect her all the way. If something happens Three long and two short, we will never forgive ourselves in our lives."

Yulan glanced at Ye Jie who was very close and said softly: "With Brother Jie here, I believe that the matter will be resolved satisfactorily. He is the destined person that Aunt Meng has found."

Hearing this, Ye Jie cupped his fists to the chief maids and said, "Ye Jie will do his best to fulfill his mission."

Just as he was talking, a breath of spring breeze came, and the Lord of Wine Country, Aunt Meng, finally arrived. She was dressed in a gilt fairy dress, with a phoenix hairpin on her temples, plump body, and impressive wealth. She had a smile on her face and a leisurely expression, as if she was about to enter not an unknown afterlife, but an ordinary outing.

"Aunt Meng...you are finally here."

"We will protect everything in the wine country and wait for your return."

Seeing Aunt Meng coming, the head maids gathered around her chattering, their words full of reluctance. Aunt Meng smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, separation is always heartbreaking, but I believe that fate will bring us back together. You must know that the word fate is so wonderful, don't you think so? Ah, a destined person?"

As she said that, the corners of Aunt Meng's eyes slightly raised, her beautiful eyes like a clear lake swept over Ye Jie beside her.

Ye Jie cupped his hands and said, "Aunt Meng said yes, so of course it is."

Aunt Meng raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The surrounding space changed. In an instant, everyone came to a rushing river. A bridge stood here. The bridge was filled with purple phantom mist, which seemed real and illusory. In Meng Ruyan, in the middle of the bridge, an old woman hunched over her back looked like she had been waiting here for a long time.

…………

In the Hall of Pingping, Ting Ting's tone was neither fast nor slow, showing the leisurely contentment of the divine beast:

"After the ranking announcement of the first nine halls, it is finally the turn of the last hall of the ten halls of Yama. Let us take a look at the ranking of Guangwang Hall..."

In a corner of the hall, listening to Di Ting's slow tone, Gui Cha Ba felt anxious, wishing he could rush to the stage and recite the next content on Di Ting's behalf.

It couldn't help but look at the rankings again, and saw that Ye Jie's moral virtue had stopped moving at 350,000, and the rankings had not changed. It had long lost the possibility of sprinting to the first place in the quarter. It finally felt relieved and laughed loudly: "Huh, Gui Cha Jie? You want to fight with me, but you are too young. Next, it is time to gain victory!"

On the stage, Di Ting recited loudly: "In the twelfth year of the Zhenguan calendar, the best ghost in the spring of Guangwang Palace was Gui Chaba, who obtained a total of 294,000 yin virtues..."

Hearing the familiar name ringing, all the ghosts in the Guangwang Palace cast their envious and admiring eyes on the red demon ghost with his arms folded, and praised him repeatedly:

"Gui Cha Ba is really good."

"It is indeed the pride of our Guangwang Palace!"

"The glory of Guangwang Palace can be carried on Gui Chaba's shoulders!"

On the luxurious steps, Di Ting said again: "The best ghost in summer is Gui Chaba, who has obtained a total of 342,000 yin virtues..."

This time, even the fourth-level Gui Chahu, who was ranked high in the Guangwang Palace, couldn't help but cast his gaze on Gui Chaba: "This person is extremely talented and can only rise in a few years. Although He is only at the third level, but he can barely compete with me. He is a rare talent."

Even Xie Bi'an looked at Gui Cha Ba with cold eyes: "You have some strength, but in the upcoming Ten Palaces Gui Cha Battle, do you have the ability to survive it?"

Di Ting said again: "The best ghost chariot in autumn is Gu Cha Ba, who has obtained a total of 331,000 yin virtues..."

Seeing that someone has won the position of the best ghost for three consecutive quarters, this time, even the Lord of Guangwang Palace, who was sitting on the throne of Yama, cast his admiring eyes on the red demon ghost. The judges around him, I couldn't help but applaud Gui Cha Ba.

In the compliments of everyone, Gui Cha Ba gradually lost himself. He raised his hands, ready to welcome the victory.

…………

When they came to the Naihe Bridge, Gungun Jieyun also followed. Aunt Meng took out a lifelike clay figure from her arms, and then took out a palm-sized wooden name tag and showed it to Ye Jie.

Looking at the nameplate, Ye Jie was stunned: "Is this... Divine Phoenix Sycamore Wood?"

Aunt Meng smiled slightly: "Do you know what it does?"

Ye Jie nodded: "I heard that it was the sycamore tree where the Phoenix lived when it was in Nirvana. As long as you make it into a name tag, engrave your favorite name on it, and carry it with you when you are reincarnated, you can guarantee that you will be called by that name in the next life. The phoenix divine bird only exists in the heaven where immortals gather together. I have never seen the divine phoenix sycamore tree. When I see it today, I know that what I said is true."

"In order to get this small piece of Divine Phoenix sycamore wood, I thought of many ways."

Aunt Meng showed a look of pain on her face, and asked Ye Jie to see the name on the name tag: "'Meng Junyao', this is my name, and I will use this name in the next life. Maybe in the reincarnation, I will forget everything, but I don’t want to forget even the name.”

Ye Jie secretly sighed, with the clay figure made of Styx soil, which determines the appearance of the next life, and the name tag made of Divine Phoenix sycamore wood, which determines the name of the next life, the immortals are really unique in the method of reincarnation.

Then I heard Aunt Meng ask: "In my next life, she will have exactly the same name and appearance as me, but do you think she will still be me?"

Ye Jie thought for a moment: "She is still you, but not the original you. Although the soul is the same, what kind of character she will have and what kind of person she will become are all shaped by the encounters she gets."

Aunt Meng was silent. Hanging her name tag in front of her body, she saw that the calamity clouds in the sky were getting more and more intense, and the blazing lightning tore the sky apart. She shook her head gently, swept away the troubles in her mind, and said with a smile: "No matter what, I'm waiting for you, if you are destined." You find me in the afterlife. Give me your ghost order."

Ye Jie did as he was told and handed the ghost order with the word "Jie" engraved on it into her hand. She slowly climbed onto the bridge and looked behind her, with endless nostalgia deep in her eyes, and her figure disappeared into the thick phantom mist. .

At the same time, the broken page in Ye Jie's arms also experienced unprecedented violent vibrations!
[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the immortal holding the Gui Chajie token successfully underwent third-level reincarnation. 】

[Second-level ghosts charge one percent toll. 】

[Gui Chajie gained one million yin virtues. 】

Next to the cold words, Aunt Meng's plump, round, happy and kind face is painted with bright red cinnabar.

After watching Aunt Meng go away, Ye Jie took the broken page back into his arms and was speechless for a long time.

…………

In the Hall of Equality, the announcement that had been listened to finally came to the last moment:
"The best ghost ghost in winter is ghost ghost Jie, who has obtained a total of 1.35 million yin virtues."

"This year, the winner of the title of Best Gui Cha in Guang Wang Palace is Gui Cha Jie! A total of 1.34 million yin virtues were obtained throughout the year!"

As soon as he said this, the compliments and cheers in the mouths of all the ghosts who were congratulating the ghosts in King Guang's palace stopped abruptly, and they were completely dumbfounded.
