Hell Emperor

Chapter 77 Hua Xiaomei-Fu Tower

According to Gui Chahu's words, everyone dispersed their formation and began to search for Qin Qiong's whereabouts in the densely populated central square.

Arriving at the most prosperous place of Talisman Art, Hua Xiaomei could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She looked around and saw the nearby Talisman makers coming and going constantly. The streets were filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere. She couldn't help but sigh. :

"I have always wanted to come to Tianxuan Palace to visit, but unfortunately I am short of money and have not been able to do so. This time, thanks to Brother Jie's help, I can have a look at Master Fu Lu."

Ye Jie smiled: "This Tianxuan Palace is quiet and peaceful, and it is much more comfortable than the Guangwang Palace. Qin Qiong, whom our Guangwang Palace Master named, has chosen a good hiding place."

Hua Xiaomei looked around and said: "This is just the outermost part of the Talisman Festival. Most of the people who stay here are junior Talisman Makers. So what is Qin Qiong's identity? How come he is wandering around here like an ordinary ghost? Do you want me to see it? Ah, you have to go to the core venue of the Talisman Festival to find his whereabouts."

Ye Jie nodded slightly: "That's right... If you stay on the outermost edge and wander around, I'm afraid you won't gain anything. I'd better follow Nan Linghe. With her ability, she might be able to bump into the mission target."

After thinking about it, Ye Jie quickly came up with an idea. He planned to stay with Nan Linghe and visit the core area where senior Talisman Makers gathered.

Seeing Ye Jie mention his name, although Nan Linghe didn't know what to do next, he still smiled at him.

Looking into the distance, I saw a majestic pagoda standing in front of me. From the open windows, continuous cheers and cheers came from the open windows. I could also faintly hear the sound of gongs and drums, as if there was some kind of celebration performance going on inside the tower.

"That's the Talisman Tower. It's where the Talisman Masters compete. Every Talisman Maker hopes to have his name engraved on the top of the tower one day. Let's go and have a look!"

Seeing the pagoda, Hua Xiaomei could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, and quickly pulled everyone together and marched towards the pagoda.

Before entering, he was stopped by two fourth-level peak guards wearing Taoist robes: "The Talisman Festival is being held. If you want to enter the Tower of Talisman and observe the skills of the Talisman Master, each person must pay an admission fee of 30,000 Yin De. ”

Hearing such an expensive price, Hua Xiaomei was full of pride, pointed at Ye Jie and said: "Do you know who he is? He is the best ghost of Guangwang Palace this year. He came to the Talisman Tower as a guest, but you rejected him. Outside the gate, is this the way Tianxuan Palace treats guests?"

After hearing the name of the best ghost agent, the guard looked at each other and said to Ye Jie: "Please show me the remaining pages of your book of life and death."

Ye Jie took out the broken page and thought about it, but saw a few large golden characters appearing on the broken page:

[Ye Jie, in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, was the best ghost in Guangwang Palace. 】

The records in the Book of Life and Death cannot be faked at all. After confirming Ye Jie's identity, the guards stopped blocking them and allowed Ye Jie and his party to enter.

When they arrived at the tower, Hua Xiaomei could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She pulled Ye Jie and kept laughing: "I finally came to the Talisman Tower, and I didn't even pay the admission fee for Yi Yin De. This is really a shame." Thanks to Brother Jie, I didn’t expect that one day I would also be able to attend the Talisman Conference for free..."

Ye Jie waved his hand and did not take any credit. He looked around and saw many people surrounding a high platform in front of him.

In front of the stage, there was a golden incense burner with a high-quality incense that was about to burn out. On the stage, hundreds of energetic talisman makers were racing against time to complete the making of the talismans in their hands.

The expressions of the talisman makers varied. Some were calm and confident, while others were sweating profusely and tense. Some could not bear the frustration after failing to make the talisman and could not help crying.

Nan Linghe looked around curiously: "What are they doing?"

Hua Xiaomei looked excited and eager to try: "They are having a talisman-making competition, using the same materials to see who can make the talisman with the best effect. The final winner will receive a magic weapon or a skill reward, and there will also be The opportunity has caught the eye of Master Fu Lu. If I can be accepted as a disciple by Master Fu Lu, I will no longer have to worry about evil deeds. "

Just as he was talking, the competition on the stage came to an end, and an unattractive Talisman Maker won the small Talisman Making Competition.

His reward was a sharp sword with a cold light. Just looking at the gems inlaid on the hilt and the cold light condensed on the sword, you knew that this sword was not an extraordinary thing, but a magic weapon of considerable grade.

The only fly in the ointment was that his talisman failed to gain the attention of the talisman master. After receiving the reward and a cyan token, he left the stage with his head held high under the envious eyes of everyone.

After a small talisman-making competition ended, the ghosts from Tianxuan Palace came onto the venue, packed up the items left by everyone on the table, and then waited for the next batch of contestants to enter.

Looking at the man's leaving figure, Hua Xiaomei sighed: "The winner of the Talisman Making Competition has also been qualified to participate in the Talisman Making Competition. That is the best opportunity to compete with the Talisman Making Masters on the same stage. Even if you know you will lose, you can still observe the masters’ talisman-making techniques at a very close distance.”

Nan Linghe nodded as if understanding: "Sister Mei also wants to participate in the talisman making competition?"

Hua Xiaomei was quite helpless: "According to the rules of the Talisman Festival, everyone who enters the Tower of Talisman will have a chance to participate in the Talisman Making Competition. However, the examiner will randomly select which talisman to make. All I can do is If I know how to make a spiritual talisman, once I draw other spiritual talismans, even if the materials are put in front of me, I won’t be able to make them. I’m afraid there is no hope of being favored by Master Fulu.”

Ye Jie smiled: "You can't say that. Even if you can't make a magic talisman, having a chance to practice is something that others can only dream of. There's no harm in trying it."

Ye Jie's voice of encouragement came to her ears, and Hua Xiaomei nodded repeatedly: "You're right, it's just a waste of materials. What's there to worry about? The 30,000 Yin De entrance fee charged by the Talisman Tower has already spent this amount of materials. The money is included, but it’s no use if you don’t go. Come on, Miss He, let’s go up there and try.”

"Ah...should I go too?"

Seeing Hua Xiaomei mentioning herself, Nan Linghe shrank his neck and hid behind Ye Jie, appearing reluctant.

Ye Jie looked sideways at her and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, don't you want to learn how to make talismans? Just treat this as a practice. Even if you can't draw advanced talismans, you need to know the materials for making talismans. That’s fine.”

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, Nan Linghe finally overcame the fear in his heart, pursed his lips and said, "Then...Brother Jie will also go with us."

Ye Jie was quite helpless: "I don't know how to make talismans. It's a real waste of materials to go on stage..."

Hua Xiaomei chuckled: "Isn't this what Brother Jie said himself? There's nothing to lose if you go up and give it a try. Since Miss He has asked for it, I think Brother Jie, don't refuse and just come on stage with me."

Unable to resist their persuasion, Ye Jie was dragged to the stage by them, found an inconspicuous position and stood there, patiently waiting for the start of the talisman-making contest.

"Oh, you didn't go looking for Qin Qiong's whereabouts, but you came to this Talisman Tower. Do you want to leave all the hard work to others?"

While Ye Jie was waiting, he heard a tone that was neither salty nor bland.

Following the sound, Ye Jie also saw a familiar figure, it was Xie Xinyu in Tsing Yi. Seeing that she had also boarded the competition platform, Ye Jie couldn't help but said: "Gui Chayu... why did you come to this talisman?" Tower?"

"What the hell, Chaiyu, I have a name, okay? I am here, of course, to participate in the Talisman Festival. With my attainments in the Talisman Way, it will not be a problem to pass the competition. But you, on this competition stage, it is difficult Don’t you want to rely on your own strength to win the favor of Master Fu Lu? Can you really do this with your three-legged cat?”

Seeing that Xie Xinyu came with bad intentions, Hua Xiaomei opened her mouth, but when she thought of her accomplishments in divination, she swallowed back the words that had just come to her lips.

Being proficient in divination can bring a unique and unique increase in the production of talismans. The talismans made by Xie Xinyu are more effective than those made by others. They can even make rare talismans like a real talisman master. Unforgettable mutant talisman.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiaomei shut up and couldn't say anything. Even if she said any harsh words now, she would be the one who was embarrassed in the end.

However, to Hua Xiaomei's surprise, Ye Jie took the initiative to speak at this time: "So you think you can definitely win this competition, right?"

"Of course!" Xie Xinyu snorted. She squinted her eyes, as if she didn't pay attention to everyone at all. "With my strength, of course I can win steadily. Only if I get the reward of Xiaobi's victory , is worthy of the 30,000 Yin De cost of admission..."

Xie Xinyu couldn't help but show a bit of pain when she thought of the yin virtue she spent on entering. If she failed to win and wasted these yin virtues, she would definitely be punished by the head of the family.

Hearing these words, Hua Xiaomei finally couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly: "Thirty thousand yin virtues? Brother Jie brought a few of us to the venue because of his status as the best ghost servant, but he didn't even spend any yin virtues. If you had begged Brother Jie earlier, he might have softened his heart and let you in for free."

Hearing this, Xie Xinyu's face became a little confused, and he was speechless for a while. After a while, he stamped his feet: "With the financial resources of my Guanlong Xie family, a mere thirty thousand yin virtues are nothing at all. Only low-level ghosts like you would be reluctant to spend even 30,000 yin virtues..."

At the end of the sentence, her voice became obviously quieter. The Xie family was indeed rich, but they were not so rich that they could just use thirty thousand Yin De to waste it.

Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Jie and his party with a bit of anger in her eyes. She must take back this shame in the next talisman making competition!
