Hell Emperor

Chapter 177 Ye Jie - The Secret of Ghost Gate

Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Ba pondered for a long time before speaking: "Thinking carefully, I have been in the underworld, accompanied by ghosts. Compared with monsters and animals, ghosts are the most familiar to me. May I ask Miss Xia Wei, have you ever had the form and meaning of ghosts?"

Xia Wei nodded: "The focus of form and meaning is not its form, but its meaning. Since you can call out the name of a ghost, then there is a form and meaning of a ghost. It is also a method to deepen the understanding of boxing."

Hearing this, Ye Jie raised his eyebrows and couldn't help saying: "Aren't you a ghost? Besides, ghosts are divided into different types, and different types There are huge differences between different types of ghosts. Which type of ghost do you want to comprehend? "

Li Ba already had the answer: "My Dharma body originated from the one-horned red ghost in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The Dharma body revealed by the ghost can reflect the desire in the heart to a considerable extent. Since I want to comprehend the ghost's form and meaning, then of course I want to comprehend the red ghost's form and meaning!"

Ye Jie praised: "Yes, as your understanding deepens, maybe it can also reverse and allow you to take a step further in your Dharma body. For you, comprehending the red ghost's form and meaning can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

After finding the direction to move forward, Li Ba clasped his fists towards Xia Wei and said: "This time, I can I will never forget it. I have read the classics of Xingyi Liuhequan many times, so I will give it to you. "

Xia Wei took the classics and flipped through them. She could only see dense texts and no pictures at all. She pouted and said, "Is there no martial arts classics with no texts and only pictures?"

Ye Jie shook his head and laughed, "Where can there be such a martial arts classic? The information that can be recorded in words is far more complicated than pictures. It's more like a picture book."

Looking at Ye Jie, Xia Wei also smiled calmly, "Master... Xiaowei doesn't understand this classic, so you should read it to me. . "

Ye Jie helplessly held his forehead: "You have revealed the most important secrets of the classics, how can you say you don't understand it?"

Xia Wei stuck out her tongue and said: "But Xiaowei really can't understand it..."

Looking at her, Ye Jie felt quite emotional. The lonely and helpless girl at the beginning has now grown into a towering tree that everyone relies on: "Speaking of which, when you were teaching Li Ba, you really had some master style. When we stood together, others thought I was an apprentice. "

Xia Wei didn't answer. She reached out and grabbed Ye Jie's robe, unwilling to let go no matter what.

Xie Xinyu leaned over to watch the show: "The sage said: A teacher does not have to be better than his disciples. I always thought this was wrong before. If a master cannot show overwhelming strength, how can he be called a master? Now it seems that this is not without reason."

Ye Jie patted Xia Wei's head: "Do you want to listen to this book? Okay, let me read it to you..."

As they were talking, they heard footsteps coming from afar. Looking intently, they saw Wei Zheng, who had gone to the palace to meet the King of Tang not long ago, returning quickly at this moment.

Seeing Ye Jie, Wei Zheng suppressed his anxiety and asked: "Is the situation going smoothly in the underworld?"

Ye Jie nodded: "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. Under the leadership of the Lord of Tianxuan Palace, we successfully broke through the ghost prison and rescued the first emperor of Li Tang and the souls of several princes."

After learning this exciting news, Wei Zheng was relieved. He paced back and forth: "That's great... After I returned to the capital, I got all bad news, especially about the artifact Ghost Gate. Now I hear this news, which has swept away the haze of failure for several days. No, I have to go to see His Majesty again!"

Hearing this, Ye Jie was slightly stunned. Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, you just came back from the palace. It's only been such a short time. Going to see the King of Tang again, won't it annoy him? I remember in In the Palace of Prince Guang, any ghost messenger who offended the dragon Yang Guang would have a miserable end... Why not stay here first and tell me about the news of the Ghost Gate. "

Wei Zheng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, your majesty is very open-minded and will never blame me for such a small matter."

After a pause, he said: "As for the Ghost Gate... there are indeed some things that need to be told to you. Perhaps as a ghost messenger, you can see secrets that living people don't know."

Ye Jie said seriously: "I would like to hear the details."

"You should know that the evil dragon Yang Guang has already ordered the release of evil ghosts to slaughter rural villages and towns, dragging innocent people into the war, and taking away their souls."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but glance at Li Ba on the side, seeing her clenching her fists, gnashing her teeth secretly, looking angry, and full of anger with nowhere to vent. Her people died because of this.

"It is true." Ye Jie nodded.

Wei Zheng added: "We previously believed that the evil dragon Yang Guang slaughtered the countryside in order to refine those wandering souls into ghost soldiers, but as things got deeper, we found that things were not that simple."

Ye Jie frowned: "What else can ordinary souls do besides refining into ghost soldiers? Is there any secret in this?"

Wei Zheng took a deep breath: "The ghosts after refining have completely lost their rationality as souls, and their cultivation is only at the first level. Even if there are more of them, it is difficult for the first-level ghosts to gain momentum. The problem lies here. The ghosts refined by Yang Guang are far more powerful than the first-level ghosts, and most of them have become amazing alien ghosts, with at least the third-level cultivation."

"Alien ghosts? Could it be..." Ye Jie was stunned. Combined with what he had seen before, some amazing speculations flashed through his mind.

Li Ba was puzzled and asked Ye Jie hurriedly: "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Ye Jie looked serious: "Do you still remember the counterattack provided by Lord Guang Wang when we attacked the Ghost Prison? He opened the Ghost Gate and released tens of thousands of strange ghosts, which instantly turned the tide of the battle..."

Following Ye Jie's reminder, Li Ba also remembered the original dangerous situation: "Of course I remember! If it hadn't been for the critical moment when you activated the power of the forbidden ancient talisman to scare the palace master away, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to say. ”

Ye Jie added: "It is not easy to summon these powerful alien ghosts. At that time, I was still wondering where those alien ghosts came from and why they were locked up in the ghost gate. Now I look at it, Those strange ghosts are clearly the souls kidnapped by the Yin soldiers when they slaughtered the countryside..."

"How could..." Li Ba opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.

Before she could recover, she heard Ye Jie express his conclusion: "So... the souls refined by Master Guangwang are not first-level ghosts at all, but stronger alien ghosts."

Wei Zheng showed some approval and nodded slightly: "You are right. The answer you came up with is consistent with the speculation of the Hanlin scholars in the imperial court. The power of the ghost gate can speed up the degradation of the soul and make it endure thousands of times. The painful torture, thereby becoming a stronger ghost."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone had different expressions.

Xia Wei looked intolerable. She was kind-hearted. When she thought of the innocent souls who suffered so much pain in the ghost gate, her heart felt like a knife. When the intolerable expression gradually subsided, she was replaced by a strong fighting spirit: "This is This viciousness cannot be tolerated, and I must seek justice for those souls!"

On the side, Nan Linghe was staring at Ye Jie with admiration: "I didn't expect Brother Jie to be able to get the most correct answer just from these messages. Even if he is a Hanlin bachelor, it can't be more than this, right?"

Li Ba's face turned gloomy: "If the Lord of King Guang's Palace is allowed to continue killing, the number of White Walkers will increase, the balance of Yin and Yang will be completely broken, and there will be no power in the world to compete with those White Walkers. What should we do?"

Wei Zheng saw everyone's worries and spoke slowly: "Don't worry, defensive measures have been taken in various places, and people are gathering towards the town, making it more difficult for the evil soldiers to kill. At the same time, generals from all walks of life have also been dispatched to protect the town. It’s safe, as long as His Majesty is here, the evil dragon’s plan will not succeed.”

Ye Jie thought more and frowned: "As the saying goes, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. If it continues like this, it must be a situation that the master of Guangwang Palace wants to see. It must be noted that after death, the soul will enter the underworld. One will disappear and the other will disappear. In the long run, the situation may be extremely unfavorable.”

Saying that, Ye Jie let out a sigh: "The existence of Hades is an insurmountable chasm. Living people cannot enter at all. As long as they stay in Hades, the master of Guangwang Palace will be invincible, even if he is the strongest. Even the king of Tang, who is unparalleled in the world, cannot defeat him, and there is no hope of victory at all..."

As Ye Jie said, it is as difficult for a living creature to enter the underworld as it is to ascend to heaven. Throughout history, not many people have been able to do it.

Hundreds of years ago, the Monkey King did this. Not only did he break into the Underworld, but even the Emperor of the Underworld died in his hands, but that was just a special case after all.

Ye Jie glanced at Xia Wei. With Xia Wei's talent, given time, when she ascends to the immortal throne and is the most powerful in the world, she may not be able to break into the underworld, but she is still far away from that level now. far away.

Li Ba also sighed and said: "You are right, the underworld is a natural barrier, blocking the approach of all living creatures. If it were not for the presence of the ghost gate, the master of the Guangwang Palace at the level of ghosts and immortals would not be able to travel to and from the human world freely."

Many worries made Ye Jie feel heavy, and he could not see any hope of winning:

"The only way to win and end the troubled times is to completely defeat the Lord of Guangwang Palace. Once he loses in the human world, he will definitely hide in the underworld again, and the underworld is the most important battlefield. However, now, with the ability and The Tianxuan Palace Master that Guang Wang Palace contends with has dispersed his immortal energy and his realm has fallen. There is no one in the underworld who can be the opponent of Guang Wang Palace Master. The Tang King in the human world is expected to be able to compete with Guang Wang Palace Master, but he is unable to go to the Hades. , I can only look at the ocean and sigh."

Nan Linghe blinked. After listening for a long time, she finally understood: "In this case... as long as Prince Tang dies, won't he be able to go to Hades?"

After hearing her words, Ye Jie was stunned. Everyone was dumbfounded. Wei Zheng even blew his beard and stared: "You... what are you talking about? Your Majesty is in good health. How can anyone talk like this? It's really nonsense..."

Ye Jie coughed dryly. Although Nan Linghe said it unintentionally, he also violated some kind of taboo. The life and death of the emperor has never been easily discussed by ordinary people. He hurriedly explained:

"She didn't mean to slander the King of Tang, but strictly speaking, this is a way... I heard that in other continents, there is a unique method of soul leaving the body, which allows people to leave before their life span is over. The body and the soul can travel around the world. Maybe with the help of this method, there is a way to defeat the Lord of Guangwang Hall..."

Wei Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart for a long time: "This is not a good idea. No one will agree to put His Majesty in danger. His Majesty's safety is the most important thing."

Ye Jie understood this and sighed: "Besides this method, is there any other way to deal with the master of the Guangwang Palace? No matter what kind of failure he has experienced in the battle on earth, as long as he hides in the underworld, he will Invincible, no one can defeat him in Hades.”

Wei Zheng slowly raised his head and stared at the empty blue sky: "Do you know how we won the war from the evil dragon many years ago?"

Ye Jie naturally noticed his actions. Maybe others didn't understand the meaning of his actions, but Ye Jie knew it clearly: "You mean...the immortal in the sky?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "In the past, the evil dragon Yang Guang brought chaos to the world, causing panic and devastation. He could transform himself into a divine dragon. No one in the world could be the opponent of the divine dragon. Once the divine dragon appeared, even if it was against the trend, The battle will be rewritten in an instant. He is a symbol of invincibility in the world. No one can defeat him. "

After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Just when the defeat was about to be decided and the evil dragon was about to suppress the world, thanks to General Li Jing's help from Heaven, the immortals in Heaven were able to send down a ray of mysterious brake, thus completely killing the evil dragon. In addition, the wisp of mysterious brake eventually formed an endless thunderstorm, giving birth to many thunder-type monsters."

After hearing this, Xia Wei couldn't help but put her hand to cover her mouth. She looked at Ye Jie, no doubt thinking of many past events in her mind.

Not long ago, in order to fight against the Hengshan bandits, she practiced all the way in Lei Zezhong. When he first met Li Feimo, he was forcefully forced into the Lei Ze and bumped into Kui Niu, the overlord of the Lei Ze.

Under the terrifying power of the fifth-level Kui Niu, even Li Feimo's master Shen Qingge was accidentally seriously injured and had to use his master's magic weapon to cover the two of them, thus saving their lives. .

In the end, she and Li Feimo worked together to absorb the power of Xuan Cha. The two of them cooperated with each other to kill Kui Niu and find the last chance of survival.

Now, after hearing the past events behind that wisp of mysterious brake, Xia Wei felt quite emotional, as if everything happened yesterday.

Ye Jie took a deep breath and asked again: "So, now you are also planning to seek help from Heaven?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "That's it. Now the Lord of the Guangwang Palace has rebelled against Yin and Yang and single-handedly made the people uneasy. The immortals in the heaven will definitely not sit idly by and ignore this. General Li Jing has already set out to ask for help. Soon, Then you can get the message from heaven.”

Hearing this, Ye Jie finally had something in mind. Asking for help from heaven is indeed a feasible method. In the past, when faced with the invincible evil dragon, this method was used to finally usher in peace in the world. Under the power of the immortals, even if the evil dragon hid in the underworld, To no avail, just waiting for the immortal to take action, the world will immediately usher in peace.
