Hell Emperor

Chapter 314 Shura Jie - Visit

Looking at the three large canteens rising from the ground, Ye Jie nodded with satisfaction.

Although they are called large canteens, they are more like simple tents set up. Most of the seats are in the open air. The advantage is that they do not require steel frames to build, and they can be built directly now.

Looking around, there are many seats lined up neatly, with a large pot in the middle that requires dozens of people to hold it together. The aroma of food coming from the pot is mouth-watering.

Smelling the familiar smell of spiritual porridge, Ye Jie exhaled, his memory seemed to return to the past, and he was ready to eat a bowl first.

He came to the big pot and scooped out a bowl of gruel from the pot. The gruel was bland and there were not even a few grains of rice in it, but he drank it with relish and nodded slightly from time to time.

"That's what it tastes like!"

It wasn't until there was not a drop of porridge left that Ye Jie showed a satisfied smile. He found Shi Zuo and Shi You and ordered: "You two should stop guarding the door. There is a shortage of manpower now. Come to the big cafeteria to cook porridge. The fire is ready." When it’s out, go to the Fiery Oil Pan to borrow some fire.”

Shi Zuo and Shi looked at each other in shock. They did not dare to disobey the order of the Lord of Yama Hall. No matter how difficult the order was, they had no choice but to obey it.

It was an unprecedented first time for a stone lion to cook porridge, but Ye Jie didn't care.

Suddenly, Ye Jie seemed to have thought of something, and his face straightened: "By the way, although the cafeteria does not charge any kindness from ghosts who come and go, anyone who does not finish the porridge will be punished. I hate wasting food the most. I will never tolerate this kind of thing! Anyone who wastes spiritual porridge will be thrown into the frying pan!"

Ye Jie spoke slowly, and the power belonging to the Lord of Yama Palace burst out, making Shi Zuo and Shi You tremble and dare not say anything.

They had never seen Ye Jie so angry. When it came to wasting food, Ye Jie seemed to have changed. His appearance of vowing to fight against those who wasted food made the two stone lion spirits look at him with suspicion.

Shi You rolled his eyes, found a wooden sign, dipped his paws into the charcoal ashes under the cauldron, and wrote on the wooden sign:

"It is strictly forbidden to waste food, and those who violate it will be put in the frying pan."

It wasn't enough to write just one, so Shi You wrote three in total. He didn't stop until one was inserted outside every canteen.

Seeing this, Ye Jie nodded with satisfaction. Although Shi You was born as a stone lion spirit, he was well versed in human nature and knew how to do what he wanted. He was a rare subordinate.

In comparison, Shi Zuo was dull! He stood motionless, looking up at himself from time to time. There seemed to be suspicion in his eyes, which was far less diligent than Shi Youlai's.

"Now that the large dining hall has been built, all the ghosts who come to the Golden Wheel Hall can have a full meal immediately. The most important thing now is to recruit enough ghost servants. Without ghost servants, should I be the one to pick up the ghosts? ?”

Ye Jie calmed down and soon had an idea in his mind: "Ghosts are transformed after death, so let me meet with the King of Goguryeo to see if I can get help from the world. With help from the world, , the number of ghosts can also be greatly increased."

Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help but ask Shi You: "Did the King of Goguryeo say where he wanted to meet me?"

Shi You thought for a while and replied: "He didn't say...but according to the past rules, he will meet the palace master in the Goguryeo Royal City."

"The royal city..."

Ye Jie nodded, without hesitation, immediately took out the Shukuchi stone and set off for the royal city of Goguryeo.

There is only one month left before the Huanyang Festival, leaving little time for Ye Jie to develop the Golden Wheel Palace. Whether he can still secure his position as the master of the palace after one month remains to be seen.

During this month, Ye Jie would of course have to enjoy the addiction of Yama. Even if the assassination happened a month later and he was driven out of the position of Yama, it would still be a worthwhile trip.

In contrast, Ye Jie didn't pay attention to the consumption of moral virtue when building buildings. After being a ghost servant for so many years, how could he one day become the master of the Yama Hall, and remain inactive and do nothing because of his unwillingness to part with his evil virtues?

What's more, the construction of Hades buildings will also benefit Ye Jie himself.

Take the newly repaired Hades Formation as an example. If the Hades Formation is still damaged and even the Shukuchi Stone cannot be used, how can he move it freely? Is it necessary to use the teleportation charm every time?

After Ye Jie's figure disappeared, Shi Zuo was still stunned in place, unable to say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Shi You ran over, put a paw on its stone head, and reminded him with concern:

"Are you okay? Now that the position of the Palace Master has been replaced, the Golden Wheel Palace is in the midst of employing people. Why don't you show up well in front of the Palace Master? It's not impossible to seize this opportunity and become a successful person. Do you want to be Will he be a gatekeeper for the rest of his life?"

Shi Zuo shook his head vigorously and shook Shi You's claws away: "If you don't want to guard the door, where can you go? Become a cook in the cafeteria?"

Shi You was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said: "What happened to the cook? At least he has been promoted, which is better than guarding the palace gate. I see that the master of the palace has extraordinary bearing, and he can bring about miracles with just a raise of his hand. Jin Under his leadership, the Lun Palace will definitely flourish. Even though we are just cooks now, we are not sure what will happen in the future. Maybe one day, I can also become a palace protector Dangdang..."

"Just relying on your impermanent realm strength? Let's forget it."

Shi Zuo curled his lips, not taking Shi You's words seriously at all. His mind was entirely on another thing: "Have you noticed? The palace master always lowers his head and looks at the broken page in his hand. , and whenever this happens, those buildings will be magically built..."

Shi Zuo's memory still lingered on Ye Jie's actions just now.

There were no cumbersome processes, there were no ghosts adding bricks and tiles layer by layer, and the buildings in the Yama Hall were just created out of thin air. Shi Zuo had never seen such a thing in his life.

"Whether it's the oil pan or the Hades formation, they were all magically built in an instant. Aren't you curious at all about why such a thing happened? My intuition tells me that it can't be explained by any miracle. We must be among them. You don’t know the secret, don’t you see that the palace master is not surprised at all? He had expected this.”

The more Shi Zuo spoke, the more energetic he became, his breathing became rapid, and his entire stone body was faintly trembling:

"There is no mistake, this matter must be related to the broken page in the hands of the Palace Master... The Palace Master values ​​the broken page so much, and keeps it in his arms for a moment, which is enough to show that this thing is extraordinary. I just took advantage of the Palace Master not paying attention, and went to the broken page. I took a sneak peek at the page, and guess what I saw? I saw a series of records, whether it was the stored resources or the buildings in the palace, everything was clearly written on it..."

Hearing this, Shi You's expression also changed, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he glared at Shi Zuo fiercely: "Why did you do this? What should you do if you offend the palace master? It's not something you should interfere with. , you'd better not be curious."

Shi Zuo stamped his feet vigorously: "You just said that you don't want to be a guard stone lion for the rest of your life. Why are you regretting it now? I'm sure that the fragment of paper in the hands of the palace master is definitely extraordinary. It is far from the ordinary fragment of the book of life and death. It is the golden wheel of the past. The master of the palace also has a main ledger, so why haven’t you seen him bring such a miracle? Could it be that the scraps of paper turned out to be..."

At the end of the sentence, Shi Zuo's eyes showed a bit of horror, but he quickly suppressed all the emotions in his heart, replaced by only incomparable calmness:

"Now, the opportunity has come to us. If we seize this opportunity, we may be able to build a great cause. The new palace master has not yet ascended to immortality, but he can defeat the old palace master who has been an immortal for a long time. Isn't it enough to explain the problem? No matter what the scrap of paper is, I have to find a way to get it. I don’t want to be a gatekeeper for the rest of my life!”

Shi You was shocked in his heart. He looked at the brother beside him day and night, and felt a little strange in his heart, as if he recognized him for the first time.

No matter what, plotting against the Lord of Yama Luo Palace is like a life-or-death affair. Shi You was filled with worry, so he pulled Shi Zuo beside him and said: "Think about it, even the old Palace Lord is no match for the new Palace Lord. , How can you get the remaining pages in your hands? I'm afraid that in the end, your life will be in vain."

Shi You continued to persuade: "I think the new palace master is pretty good. As soon as he took office, he built three large canteens. The old palace master didn't even look at the big canteen. He talked to ordinary ghosts. It’s a waste of words, so why would you care if ordinary ghosts can satisfy their hunger? Isn’t it bad that you care so much about the palace master?”

No matter how Shi You tried to persuade him, Shi Zuo remained unmoved. After seeing the magic of the seven-sided stitched page, deep in his heart, he also felt a strong greed, as if he was blinded by lard, no matter what No matter what the cost, I still have to get the scrap of paper in my hand:

"This matter is my own idea. If you don't want to get involved, I won't force you to do it. But after it's done, when I'm enjoying all the benefits, don't be so shameless as to come over and share it!"

Having said this, it is useless to continue talking. Shi You can only let out a long sigh. He hopes that Jinlun Palace can develop better and that one day he can follow the rising tide, but he is definitely not like Shi Zuo, who can't wait to take advantage of all the benefits. For his own benefit, he even dared to take the initiative of the palace master.

"This matter is too risky, otherwise, you should think more about it..."

Before Shi You could finish what he said, Shi Zuo ran away quickly, leaving only the last sentence: "Leave me alone!"

After saying that, he disappeared and made no sound again. Shi You, who stayed where he was, sighed. Shi Zuo left, but the work in the cafeteria was not completed yet. Even if it was the only one left, it had to complete the task in order to live up to the entrustment of the hall master.

Ye Jie, who was in the human world, did not know at this moment that when he left the Jinlun Palace, the seven-sided suture page in his arms was actually stared at by the gatekeeper stone lion outside the Jinlun Palace.

If Ye Jie knew this news, he would definitely laugh or cry about it. He doesn't know whether it is the seven-sided stitched page that is so attractive that even the stone lion wants to snatch it, or whether the stone lion is so bold and lacks respect for the Lord of Yama Hall. heart.

The reputation of Lord Yama is not just spoken casually, but is forged through the wails and cries of one ghost after another. In the underworld, anything can be done, but the only thing that cannot be done is to offend Lord Yama.

Arriving outside the King's City of Goguryeo, Ye Jie felt the traces of the city's protective formation, and his pupils sank slightly.

Although Ye Jie knew nothing about formations, his many past experiences and the various knowledge brought to him when the seven-sided sewing page modified the exercises gave him a vague hunch that the city-protecting formations would be useful to him. It is extremely restrictive. Once you enter it, you are likely to be restricted in every way, making it difficult to use your skills, which is extremely disadvantageous.

This discovery also made his face darken. It was clearly the King of Goguryeo who invited him, but this city defense formation had evil intentions and was a bit too bullying. He was not taken seriously at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie no longer suppressed his aura, and the power of the Lord of Yama Palace spread out. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, sand and stones flew, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the roar of ghosts. The residents in the city exclaimed again and again, wondering why the sky suddenly changed?

"Wait... Is the person coming the Lord of Jinlun Palace?"

At this moment, a call suddenly came from his ear. Looking in the direction of the sound, Ye Jie also saw an extraordinary practitioner. He was wearing a yellow robe and a mighty crown on his head. With him came a group of people in brocade and jade robes. Judging from the respectful expressions of the people around him, it seemed that he was the King of Goguryeo who invited him to come.

Ye Jie stared at this person, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Are you not an immortal? The equality formation of Dongsheng Shenzhou does not suppress people from becoming immortals. I thought that if you want to be king here, you must at least have the cultivation of an immortal. Now that I see it, I am a little disappointed."

The accompanying guards were a little unhappy, but the King of Goguryeo was calm and seemed to be accustomed to it. He said respectfully: "The master is joking. The immortals born in Goguryeo all serve in the Golden Wheel Palace. Now the Golden Wheel Palace has encountered an accident, so it is impossible to show the greatest courtesy to welcome the master."

Ye Jie glanced at him, and then pointed to the city defense formation on the side: "What is the purpose of this formation? From this formation, I can feel an inexplicable restraining force. Could it be..."

Ye Jie paused and did not continue.

According to what the King of Goguryeo said, the people here seem to have a close relationship with the former Master of the Golden Wheel Palace. If this so-called invitation is actually a trap to lure him here, don't blame him for being rude.

Ye Jie sensed that the strongest person here was just a captain among the guards, whose strength was barely at the second level, so he was not to be feared.

As Ye Jie finished speaking, the people nearby also felt a tense atmosphere spreading. It was only when the King of Goguryeo spoke that the situation was resolved:

"This city defense formation was set up for us by the former Master of the Golden Wheel Palace. Logically speaking, it only works on the dragon and those who have the power of the dragon, and has no effect on others. In my opinion, this is just a misunderstanding."
