Hell Emperor

Chapter 322 Shura Jie - Construction of the Underworld

After receiving the Yin De reward from Ye Jie, Shan Yao was not very happy. There were some complicated emotions in his eyes. After a while, he slowly spoke:

"Palace Master, is our Jinlun Palace very poor?"

Ye Jie coughed dryly and couldn't help but said: "Why do you have this idea?"

Shan Yao sighed: "I heard what the Palace Master and the Earth Dragon King said. The Palace Master wanted the Earth Dragon King to be the great demon guarding the palace, but he couldn't even build a fence. I didn't expect that the Jinlun Palace would be so poor..."

Hearing her say this, Ye Jie also understood where her idea came from, and smiled: "The underworld building is a magnificent wonder, which cannot be built by ordinary means. Although there is a shortage of resources in the Jinlun Palace and it can't hold the materials needed for construction, it is still no problem to fill the stomachs of the hungry ghosts who come and go."

Shan Yao curled her lips and didn't say much.

Although she hasn't been to the Jinlun Palace in person, in her heart, the Jinlun Palace must be very poor, maybe even worse than the small village where she originally lived.

With this preconceived idea, Shan Yao was too embarrassed to ask Ye Jie for more Yin De, and made up his mind to save money and help the Palace Master build the Golden Wheel Palace.

After dealing with the Yin De matter, Shan Yao turned his eyes to the Earth Dragon King beside him.

As a demon king, the Earth Dragon King can naturally sense the wandering souls that have left the body, and he is also very welcome to Shan Yao's arrival.

"Now that the Earth Dragon King has regained his composure, this is really great..." Shan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Jie again, "I can't see that you can control the Earth Dragon King. The Earth Dragon King is ranked 70th in the demon king, and it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Ye Jie stroked his forehead: "There are 72 demon kings, but there are only ten Yama Palace Masters. I am one of the ten. No matter how you look at it, the Yama Palace Master is more powerful, right?"

Shan Yao pursed her lips. She didn't know about the things under the underworld.

Ye Jie thought of something again and couldn't help but frowning: "Speaking of which, this Earth Dragon King is very powerful, with a full three-turn realm. Not to mention ordinary people, even the immortals who have just achieved enlightenment are not its opponents. Among all the demon kings, how can it be ranked only 70th?"

The Earth Dragon King launched a surprise attack with two heads at the same time, and even Ye Jie was almost hit. With such strength, it is no less than the Chi Demon King, and it should be ranked higher.

Shan Yao thought for a while and replied: "I don't know. This ranking is recognized by the demon kings. How can ordinary people make arbitrary comments? But... I think it may be related to the Earth Dragon King's gentle habits. Unless it is a matter of life and death, it will not attack other creatures."

Ye Jie nodded. It seems that the ranking of the demon kings is not entirely based on their cultivation realm.

At this time, Shan Yao asked again: "By the way, how can the Earth Dragon King go back to the Hades with us? I remember the Palace Master said that it can't use the Earth-Shrinking Stone and can't move like a ghost."

For this, Ye Jie had expected it: "Don't worry, the Earth Dragon is very familiar with the environment under the earth. As long as you tell it the location of the Golden Wheel Palace, it will go there by itself..."

Speaking of this, Ye Jie paused and couldn't help but think of the culprit who made the Earth Dragon King crazy, that is, the natural enemy that the Earth Dragon King was particularly afraid of.

Bringing the Earth Dragon King back to the Hades might also attract its natural enemies. Judging from the extremely fearful look of the Earth Dragon King, its natural enemies should be difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, it may even wipe out the entire Golden Wheel Palace.

"Before the earth dragon fence is built, let's leave it on the ground and dig up the bone fragments with peace of mind..."

Ye Jie glanced at it. In such a short time, the bone fragments dug out by the Earth Dragon King from under the earth have piled up into a mountain of bones, weighing at least 10,000 kilograms. It is very scary from a distance. If people who don't know the situation see it, they may think it is the work of evil cultivators.

Relying on the power of the Hades Formation, Ye Jie can move these bone fragments to the Golden Wheel Hall for smelting steel bones, but he can't stay here all the time.

It just so happens that most of the dead in the previous earthquake have been sent to the Golden Wheel Hall by Shan Yao. It's time to recruit them and assign tasks.

As soon as Ye Jie thought about it, he contacted the Hades Formation. He and Shan Yao disappeared immediately and returned to the Golden Wheel Hall.

In the Golden Wheel Hall, in addition to Shi Zuo and Shi You who had stayed behind, there were hundreds of wandering souls. They wandered around the hall, shocked that there was such a big oil pan and such a tall golden wheel in the world.

The news of the return of the hall master spread quickly, and the wandering souls hurriedly gathered in front of the hall, wanting to see the hall master mentioned by Shan Yao.

Ye Jie looked indifferent, and his eyes glanced at the seven stitched pages in his hand.

[Population: 4 employees, 456 wandering souls in the palace]

There were more than 400 wandering souls sent to the underworld by Shan Yao, which made Ye Jie look at her with some surprise:

"My fight with the Earth Dragon King only lasted half an incense stick of time, but you actually hooked more than 400 souls?"

Ye Jie was a little surprised. Logically speaking, ghost catchers hooking souls is just like human exercises, which is quite energy-consuming. Ordinary first-level ghost catchers would probably become weak after hooking dozens of souls, and must rest for a period of time to recover. Ghost catchers who can hook hundreds of souls with first-level cultivation are even rarer.

Moreover, this is based on the fact that ghost catchers have undergone long-term cultivation. Ye Jie has never seen a situation like Shan Yao, who has just become a ghost catcher today, and can hook hundreds of souls.

This is why, when Ye Jie discovered that Yam Yao had followed the Earth Dragon King, his first reaction was that she had turned a deaf ear to the mission he had assigned. No first-order ghost could hook hundreds of souls in such a short period of time. .

Seeing Ye Jie asking about this, Yao Yao pursed his lips and looked a little dodgey, as if there was something hidden behind the matter.

Seeing her appearance, Ye Jie also made a judgment in his heart: "It seems that among these dead people, you are not the only one who has the potential to become a ghost."

Yam Yao's eyes trembled, but he didn't expect that even this slight abnormality could not escape Ye Jie's eyes. What she didn't know was that Ye Jie had been a ghost officer for many years and was very familiar with seducing people. How could he make mistakes in the field he was most familiar with?

"Palace Master, I'm sorry, that person didn't let me say..." Yao said aggrievedly.

Ye Jie looked calm: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. It seems that that person has no intention of serving in the palace. Jinlun Palace does not force you. If you have stayed in the palace enough and fulfilled your last wish, you can go and reincarnate at any time. No If there is any obstruction, of course, if you are willing to continue to work in the temple and earn your virtue, I will also welcome it."

After saying that, the ghosts talked a lot, some were afraid or doubtful, and they didn't dare to believe what Ye Jie said.

At this time, a middle-aged man plucked up the courage to step forward and asked Ye Jie: "Master of the Palace, my wife and children are still in the human world. Can I go back to the human world to see them?"

Ye Jie nodded: "Of course, you need to use Shuodi Stone, Soul Protection Talisman, and Yellow Spring Water, a total of 700 Yin De. If you did not have enough Yin De during your lifetime, you need to work in the underworld to obtain enough Yin De. When I am not around, , you can find other ghosts to take you there."

Hearing this, the man was overjoyed. After his soul entered the underworld, what he was most worried about was his relatives left in the world. Now, according to what the palace master said, as long as he works hard, he will have a chance to return to the sun. For him, it is undoubtedly Great news.

With this man's soul in the lead, the ghosts immediately became energetic, and for a while they became loud and surrounded Ye Jie with questions.

After Ye Jie carefully answered everyone's doubts, he said again: "I need to recruit a hundred ghost servants to transport bone fragments to and from the human world. A hundred ghost servants will stay by the oil pot to smelt steel bones, and thirty ghost servants will be in the cafeteria. To cook Chinese delicacies, you also need a higher-level seducer to attract souls back and forth between the two realms. The seducer has requirements for the level of cultivation. Not all ghosts can do it. It requires a period of practice, but the reward is also higher than Generally the ghost difference is higher.”

As Ye Jie finished speaking, all the ghosts responded one after another, vying to take over the tasks issued by the palace master and become ghost servants in the Golden Wheel Palace.

On the seven-sided stitched page, the number of wandering souls stationed in the palace decreased little by little, while the number of working personnel increased significantly.

Seeing these records in his eyes, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a little happy while he was busy. With the addition of these ghosts, the development of Jinlun Palace is just around the corner.

The ghosts lined up in a long queue, waiting for Ye Jie to register their names one by one. There were so many people that even Ye Jie was a little busy for a while.

Just registering the names of these four hundred ghosts one by one is not an easy task. If the scale of the Golden Wheel Palace expands in the future, the number of new ghosts every day will reach tens of thousands, or even tens of millions. , just registering the roster was enough to tire him to death.

Seeing that Ye Jie was extremely busy, Yao Yao was also a little concerned and took the initiative to share the tasks and make a series of records on Ye Jie's behalf.

After finally taking some time off, Ye Jie stretched out his hand and wiped away the sweat from his head.

Now he understood why the Document Hall was the most important building in the entire Hades. Without the large number of civil servants in the Document Hall who kept registering files, it would be difficult to maintain order in the entire Yama Hall.

"The Clerk's Hall... I don't know when the Clerk's Hall will be built."

Ye Jie shook his head, and suddenly glanced at the yam beside him. Seeing that she was carefully recording every piece of information, and seemed to be doing it with ease, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the initiative to speak: "From now on, you will stay in Hades and be responsible for ghost missions." Recording, plus the distribution of moral virtues, it’s better to be a civil servant. "

Yam Yao was in a bit of a dilemma. He was not sure what the remuneration for this position would be. After all, according to Ye Jie's previous words, only those who are evil and evil would be rewarded the most.

Ye Jie also saw the worries she was facing, and took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, the civil servant ghost is a very important position, and the pay is no less than that of the ghost ghost. The civil servant ghost with the highest status is a majestic judge, ghost The police officers must bow when they see him.”

Hearing this, Yao Yao was overjoyed and took over the task without thinking, carefully recording all kinds of information on the paper in his hand.

Shanyao still remembers the difficulties that the palace master faced before. Due to the lack of a main account, every Yin De record in Jinlun Hall now needs to be completed manually by ghosts. After the end of the day, the Yin De changes will be carried out by the Palace Master.

Although there was something strange that could not be described, Shan Yao did not ask any questions and concentrated on completing the tasks assigned by Ye Jie.

The difference from Ye Jie is that what Yamiao uses to record is just ordinary paper, while Ye Jie uses seven-sided stitched pages to record.

Yam Yao was limited by his own knowledge and could not see the clues, but Ye Jie knew it very well.

Ordinary paper can only be used for recording and does not have the power to change Yin De.

The lack of remaining pages of the Book of Life and Death limited the power of the ghost servants in the palace. Only Ye Jie, who had mastered the seven-sided stitched pages, could increase or decrease Yin De. The other ghost servants could only record orally and report that record to Shan Yao. After that, when Ye Jie is free, he will make unified changes to Yin De.

Ye Jie felt a headache when he thought of the possible problems that this move would face, but there was nothing he could do about it. Without the main account, there was no way to replace the remaining pages of the dead book, which was extremely troublesome at any time.

The main tent of Jinlun Palace is now in the hands of the master of Maruo Palace. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to get the main account of the Golden Wheel Palace from Moro, who rules the underworld, and Ye Jie has no hope of it.

Ye Jie sighed. Now that the number of ghosts is small, Shan Yao is responsible for recording alone, so he is busy. If the number of ghosts increases in the future, and he wants to rely on this recording method to change Yin De, Undoubtedly, it is a bit difficult to force others. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

Recruiting more civil servants may be able to solve this problem, but the more civil servants there are, the more bloated the records will be. The entire Jinlun Palace will be dragged down by this low administrative efficiency. If you want to significantly improve the administration of the Yama Palace To achieve efficiency, the Document Hall must be built.

What Ye Jie didn't notice was that just as he was thinking hard about how to improve the administrative efficiency of Jinlun Palace, a ghost stared at his back in the dark, gritting his teeth secretly.

That evil and sharp breath couldn't hide Ye Jie's perception at all. After the Shenlong Transformation reached the Ten Thousand Transformation stage, Ye Jie was very sensitive to hostility, so he noticed the resentful look in his eyes at the first moment.

"Huh? In the late first level...has he practiced soul training?"

What appeared in Ye Jie's sight was a young man who was younger than Yam Yao. To Ye Jie's surprise, the young man's soul actually had a late first-order realm, far exceeding the other wandering souls in the hall.

Different from other wandering ghosts, the young ghost was not moved by Ye Jie's previous words at all. He stood there and stared at Ye Jie closely, with undisguised hostility in his eyes. This also made Ye Jie quite strange. I don’t know when I offended him.

"It's strange that I didn't notice him at the first time... It seems that he also has unusual talents and magical powers." Seeing the young man's appearance, Ye Jie also had various thoughts flashing through his mind.
