Xiaojianxian of the prehistoric and wild

Chapter 158 157. Voluntary withdrawal

However, although Yang Yun is a handsome guy, he seems a little cold.

After reporting his family name, he just kept silent.

And after Yang Yun finished introducing himself, a man in a black robe with a stern demeanor also said, "Luofu Mountain, Du Ziren."

If the people who introduced themselves earlier didn't look like bad guys no matter what their temperament and appearance were, then this Du Ziren seemed to be the kind of person who was not easy to get along with at first glance.

Not to mention that he was wrapped in a black robe, his demeanor was extremely gloomy and stern, making people feel gloomy.

Therefore, when Du Ziren spoke, the temperature in the entire Pingxin Hall seemed to drop a bit.

However, all those present with the lowest cultivation level were above Da Luo Jinxian—except Ye Xiao.

Therefore, although Du Ziren's aura was a bit cold, everyone would not be affected too much.

After Du Ziren, the one who introduced himself was an ordinary-looking man without any special features.

"I've been begging around Baodu Mountain on the poor road, and I've met fellow Taoists."

Except for Zhao Wenhe from Pan Zhongshan, Zhou Qi said the most so far when he introduced himself.

Zhao Wenhe has more than him because his name has one word more than him.

Although the two of them actually didn't talk much, but as the saying goes, there is no gap without comparison. Compared with the other brothers who just reported the name of the dojo and finished the job, they already talked a lot.

In addition to Taoist Styx and Taoist Hongyun, there are also seven quasi-sage-level monks who have come to apply for this recruitment.

After Zhou Qi finished his self-introduction, there was only one quasi-sage strong present who had not introduced himself.

Therefore, after Zhou Qi, everyone's attention was focused on the last person.

It was a young man in the image of a scholar in black clothes.

Noticing that everyone's attention was diverted, the young man smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I've met all of you, Cui Jue. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Cui."

Although the young man's appearance is not as handsome as Yang Yun's, he is still considered handsome, and his modest attitude seems to make people feel good about him.

Just, Cui Jue.
Ye Xiao thought about it carefully. If he remembers correctly, those quasi-sages who introduced himself earlier would all be among the famous five ghost emperors in later generations.

And this Cui Jue, if he guessed correctly, should be that Judge Cui who is also well-known.

But the problem is, the ghost emperors of the five directions are now all quasi-sages, who would have thought that Judge Cui is also a quasi-sage?
If this is really the same person, this is a bit too low-key!

Secretly remembering this Cui Jue in his heart, Ye Xiao said, "Everyone is here to compete for the position of the five ghost emperors, right? However, there are only five of the five ghost emperors, but there are seven of them present. , I don’t know.”

However, before Ye Xiao finished speaking, Cui Jue said: "The world master wait a moment, I still have something to say."

Ye Xiao paused for a moment, then motioned to Cui Jue to say.

He also wanted to see what the famous Judge Cui had to say.

However, Cui Jue's words were beyond everyone's expectations, and he smiled and said, "I really want to work in the underworld, but I know that my ability is limited, so I don't intend to compete with you for the position of the five ghost emperors." Therefore, for the next competition, I will withdraw, and the world master can arrange a position for me later."

Many people did not expect Cui Jue's words, but it undoubtedly made the rest of them breathe a sigh of relief.

They are also all quasi-sages, seven people compete for five seats, and no one dares to say that they are sure to win.

Now that Cui Jue has withdrawn, there are six people competing for five seats, no matter who it is, the chances are much greater.

For Ye Xiao, Cui Jue's words were unexpected, but also reasonable.

After all, in the myths and legends of later generations, there is only one judge whose surname is Cui, but no ghost emperor has the surname Cui.

However, Cui Jue lost the opportunity to compete with the five ghost emperors by doing this, but it would undoubtedly be easier to gain the favor of peace of mind. Therefore, this move is based on retreat, and it is hard to say whether he is losing or gaining.

If it was Pingxin who made the decision now, maybe he would give Cui Jue and Wufang Ghost Emperor the same treatment with a wave of his hand.

It's a pity that Ye Xiao is the one who decides now.

Faced with Cui Jue's approach, Ye Xiao said that he had seen through it a long time ago.

so
"Cui Daochang is very righteous. However, the Daoist voluntarily withdrew from the election of the five ghost emperors, and he is willing to continue to work for the underworld. We can't let the Daoist's heart be cold. This is good. From now on, the Daoist will work for you." The head of all the judges in the underworld has the right to supervise the entire underworld, what do you think?" After thinking for a while, Ye Xiao first said so.

The judge judges the merits and demerits of the ghosts.

And the head of the judge can monitor the underworld.

On the surface, Cui Jue's position can be said to be quite important, and in terms of authority, he is no worse than Wufang Ghost Emperor.

But the point is that when these people come to the underworld to apply for jobs, what they see is nothing more than the opportunity to enter the six realms of reincarnation and comprehend enlightenment.

So the power and authority are secondary, the most important thing is the treatment.

Seeing Cui Jue's expectant eyes, Ye Xiao continued: "As for the treatment, Cui Taoist Priest is also a quasi-sage, logically speaking, the treatment should be equal to that of the Wufang Ghost Emperor."

Hearing this, Cui Jue's heart burst into joy.

He used retreat as an advance in this move, and he was betting correctly.

Because he withdrew voluntarily, no matter what the result was, whoever became the Wufang Ghost Emperor would definitely owe him a favor.

Now not only has he won goodwill, but the position is not bad, and the most important thing is that the salary is actually the same as that of Wufang Ghost Emperor.

However, just when Cui Jue was jumping for joy, he heard Ye Xiao continue: "However, the Wufang Ghost Emperor is the Wufang Ghost Emperor after all, and he is the highest position in the underworld under Emperor Fengdu. If the treatment is the same, it would be a bit unfair." That’s right. Therefore, in my opinion, the treatment of the judge should be lower than that of the ghost emperors of the five directions, and above the Hades of the ten palaces. Daoist Cui is allowed to enter the six realms of reincarnation every 3000 years to comprehend for a hundred years. I don’t know what Cui Daochang thinks?”

As soon as Ye Xiao said these words, Cui Jue couldn't laugh immediately.

The script is wrong!

Why did you change the script?

What about equal treatment?

Besides, even if it's bad, it can't be so bad!

The five-party ghost emperor can enter the six realms of reincarnation every thousand years to comprehend for a hundred years, and now he can only comprehend for a hundred years in 3000 years. This salary is three times worse!

Cui Jue was about to cry.

However, the choice is made by himself, no matter how bad the result is, unless he doesn't want to do it anymore, he can only accept it with his nose pinched.

Therefore, Cui Jue could only respond helplessly: "It all depends on the arrangement of the world master."
