Hell Emperor

Chapter 348 Hua Xiaomei-Traces

After searching in the city lord's palace, Hua Xiaomei finally found Xia Wei's traces. She couldn't restrain her anxiety and ran to Xia Wei's side first, grabbing her hand and speaking urgently:

"Sister Xia Wei, we have just learned some terrible news. Please calm down first and listen to what I have to say. Don't be anxious about it. It would be bad if you get anxious..."

Xia Wei was a little confused, but still promised: "I'm listening. Don't worry, no matter what kind of news it is, I will stay calm."

Hua Xiaomei took a deep breath and then told what had just happened: "It's like this, we just ran into a ghost from Jinlun Temple..."

"The ghost from Jinlun Palace is here?" Xia Wei's eyes darkened, and when she mentioned Jinlun Palace, she felt a burst of anger in her heart, "Could it be that the ghost from Jinlun Palace attacked you and made you injured? ?”

"It's not what you think..." Hua Xiaomei hurriedly spoke and explained the whole story, "The ghost messenger told me that the master of Jinlun Hall is dead, and the one who holds the position of master now is Shura Jie... "

"Shura Jie..." Xia Wei was startled, but she quickly realized what she was doing and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wait, Shura Jie? Are you sure that's the name? I heard Sister Hong say before that Shura Jie is Ye Jie, and it's me. Master..."

Mentioning Shura Jie, Xia Wei's heart trembled, and various memories of the past could not help but appear in her mind. Deep in her heart, which was as hard as iron, she also quietly softened, and a faint warmth flowed through her.

Hua Xiaomei was not sure, so she could only say: "Maybe... I heard from the ghost just now that Shura Jie is completely different from the Ye Jie I know. Both in terms of realm and strength, they are worlds apart. Even if they have the same name, , maybe it’s just a coincidence, I can’t guarantee that he must be your master.”

Hearing this, Xia Wei's expression trembled and she bit her lip hard. Every time she thinks of her master, her heart is filled with bitterness and sadness. The meaning of her master to her is not just as simple as turning into a magic weapon for ghosts, but also a person she relies on when she is helpless, and a family member she trusts with all her heart. How much she wished she could go back in time and change the outcome of her master's death. Even if she sacrificed herself for this, she still wanted her master to return to her side.

Unfortunately, everything was irreversible, Xia Wei could only bury the pain deep in her heart, wipe away the tears, and get on the road again.

Now, after hearing the news about her master again, Xia Wei felt unspeakable sadness in her heart. She couldn't believe it all, she was afraid that everything would be in vain, she was afraid that after finally raising her hopes, she would be disappointed in the end.

Ren Changhong, who was following, also saw Xia Wei's expression and couldn't help sighing, complaining to Hua Xiaomei and saying, "Didn't I say that? We will go to the Golden Wheel Temple first to find out the situation, and then we will spread the news." Tell her so that she doesn’t have to worry too much. Why don’t you listen?”

Hua Xiaomei did not agree, but shook her head: "No matter what the outcome of this matter is, Xia Wei should know about it, so how can he hide it from her? We can all see her longing for the master, and her heart has long been It’s riddled with holes, this is the last hope, even if it’s really a mistake, it’s better to give it up completely.”

After a pause, Hua Xiaomei had another worry: "Besides, if we leave without saying goodbye, sister Xia Wei will be very anxious because she doesn't know where we are. What if something happens to us, or if this is a trap? It would be too bad if no one even knows..."

Xia Wei's face showed gratitude: "Sister Mei, thank you for not hiding it from me... The result of the soul-crushing death should not be changed. I only hope that a miracle will happen..."

After a person dies, the soul still exists in the world, but the dispersion of the soul means complete death. The soul no longer exists in the world, and there is no chance of reincarnation. It is the most complete death.

Xia Wei saw Ye Jie's soul-shattering state with her own eyes, so much so that she didn't believe that her master could come back to her.

However, as Xia Wei said, maybe there are miracles in the world.

Ren Changhong didn't think so: "There are no miracles in this world, there are just powers that you don't know about. Ye Jie told me that it was Lord Mo Luo who reunited his soul and gave him a new life."

Hua Xiaomei was dubious: "Is there really such a power? How can I return to my former self after my soul is gone? No matter which book in the underworld, there is no record of this. If I say this, I am afraid that other ghosts will The police would think that the ghost who said this is crazy, why have I never heard of such a method? "

Ren Changhong shrugged: "Don't say you haven't heard of it, neither have I. However, for Her Majesty Moro, who has ascended to the ninth level, nothing is impossible. Only she is qualified to control this power. ”

"Moro..."

Xia Wei recited this name silently in her heart. Was it really Moro who saved the master? If so, she would have to thank Lord Mo Luo.

Yam Yao, who was brought here, also heard everyone's discussions, and various thoughts came to his mind. Did it turn out that the palace master's real name was Ye Jie? Who are they from the palace master?

Hua Xiaomei said at this time: "No matter what the outcome is, we have to go to the Golden Wheel Palace to find out. Sister Xia Wei, you stay in the human world and wait for us. We will be back soon."

Xia Wei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she suppressed the longing in her heart and changed her words: "Okay, I will stay here and wait for your good news..."

Xia Wei is not a ghost. Her soul cannot leave her body and cannot travel freely through the underworld. She can only stay in the human world and wait, praying secretly in her heart.

"You better not lie to us, otherwise..."

Seeing that Yam Yao still looked dissatisfied, Ren Changhong spoke coldly, with a hint of threat in his words, and his meaning was very obvious.

If everything Shan Yao said was false and everything was just a trap by the Lord of Jinlun Hall, Ren Changhong would not let her go.

"Why did I lie to you? It's obvious that you caught me suddenly and threatened to kill me... Speaking of which, my task of seducing people has not been completed yet. Should I just leave the dead here?"

Yam Yao was in trouble and couldn't tell. She was clearly just passing by on a mission, but she encountered such an unreasonable disaster and almost lost her life. Where could she go to reason?

However... although he was helpless, there was still some expectation in Yao Yao's heart, and he was constantly looking at the ghosts around him with curious eyes.

If they are really the long-lost friends of the palace master, wouldn't it be considered a great achievement for him to bring them back this time? I don't know how the palace master will reward me. Maybe he can upgrade the soul-binding rope on his body to a higher level.

Yam Yao's words made Hua Xiaomei hesitate. Indeed, leaving the dead alone was indeed against the rules of ghosts. If left for a long time, resentment would gather on their bodies, and some strange ghosts might appear.

However, the eagerness in Hua Xiaomei's heart finally gained the upper hand: "Ignore them for now. Once the matter is confirmed, it won't be too late to come back to seduce you... We are sorry for delaying your seduce this time. If this is all a misunderstanding in the end , I’m willing to help you enchant your soul.”

Ren Changhong frowned: "Why don't you use the golden wheel to seduce souls instead of using this inefficient method? Isn't it much faster to spin the golden wheel?"

Yam Yao scratched his head: "In this matter, I seem to have heard the palace master say that by turning the Golden Wheel, ghosts will not be able to come to work in the palace, more resources will not be collected, and the Golden Wheel Palace will not be able to develop. . I remember that all the golden wheels seemed to have been dismantled by the palace master, except for the last one..."

"Really..." Ren Changhong stopped asking, and in his heart he believed what Yayao said before.

It would have been impossible for the former master of the Golden Wheel Hall to dismantle the Golden Wheel. Even the Golden Wheel Hall itself was named after the Golden Wheel. How could this vital thing be dismantled?

Yam Yao took out the Shukuchi Stone, and as the crisp sound of hitting the ground resounded, the ghosts moved away, and soon arrived at the Golden Wheel Hall under the Hades.

"Yam girl, are you back?"

"Girl Yam is so hard-working, she will definitely become the leader of ghosts in the palace..."

Seeing Yam Yao return to the palace, all the ghosts under her care greeted each other, and Yam Yao responded one by one.

There were also ghosts who saw strange faces following behind Shan Yao. Hua Xiaomei and Ren Changhong were dressed completely different from the local ghosts, and they were suspicious. However, with Shan Yao there, no one asked any more questions, and they were allowed to walk all the way through the hall, and they arrived soon. Go to the side hall where wandering souls are tried.

Yam Yao looked around, but there was no sign of the palace master in the side hall, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Didn't you say that the palace master is here? Where is he?"

Looking left and right, there was no sign of the palace master. Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Could it be that Yam Yao was playing some trick? The tone of voice also became urgent.

"I don't know either...the palace master was here before."

Yam Yao scratched her head. As for the whereabouts of the Hall Master, even if Hua Xiaomei asked her, she still didn't know. Before she left, the Hall Master was clearly here, so why did he disappear all of a sudden?

After looking around, Shan Yao also saw a stone lion guarding not far away, and immediately said: "Shi You, where is the master of the palace? Do you know?"

When his name was called by Yam Yao, Shi You looked sad, his body bent, and he bowed repeatedly: "The master of the palace just left, he shouldn't have gone far yet."

Yam Yao's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Did the Lord of the Hall say where he was going?"

Shi You shook his head, and suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Although the master of the palace didn't say where he was going, I heard that before he left, he repeatedly talked about steel bones and the clerk's palace. Maybe it has something to do with these things. related."

"Clerical Hall? What does that mean?"

Hua Xiaomei frowned slightly, wondering what Shi You meant by what he said. Why did the Lord of Yama Palace repeatedly talk about the Palace of Documents? Isn't that where the civil servants keep statistics of accounts?

Yam Yao said oh, as if he guessed the whereabouts of the palace master:

"Before this, the master of the palace had been thinking about building the Document Palace to improve the administrative efficiency of the Jinlun Palace. However, he suffered from not enough steel bones and had to give up. Not long ago, a new bone-casting hall was added to the palace to produce steel bones. The efficiency has been greatly improved. I heard from the palace master that as long as there are enough bone fragments, it will not be a problem for the Bone Casting Hall to produce 100,000 kilograms of steel bones a day. After these days, I think the palace master has gathered the steel bones and is ready to select a location to build the Document Hall. Get up."

After hearing this, Hua Xiaomei's mouth twitched: "In other words, there is not even a clerk's hall in the Golden Wheel Hall? Then how do you usually check the accounts? How do you check the Yin De records?"

As if hearing the ridicule in Hua Xiaomei's words, Yao Yao snorted: "Although there is no clerical hall in the hall, everything is in order under the management of the hall master."

"Having said so much, where is the master of the palace? Where should we find him?" Hua Xiaomei asked again.

Yam Yao didn't know either, so he had to answer: "The palace master is selecting a site for the completion of the Wenfu Palace. He should still be somewhere in the underworld, but I don't know where he went. If we wander around here, we might run into the palace master."

Hua Xiaomei held her forehead and sighed: "It's really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse to run into the Palace Master like this... By the way, Sister Hong, your perception is more acute than mine. Can you find out where the Palace Master is?"

Ren Changhong spread his hands: "If I could sense where the Palace Master is, I would have said it on the way. I would never come here with you. This place is protected by the Hades formation. My perception is suppressed. I can only sense things a hundred steps away at most. As for the situation farther away, I can't sense it."

"Really... It seems that I can only wander around casually. There is nothing to do here. It's better to look around. If you are lucky, you really have a chance to run into him." Hua Xiaomei said helplessly.

Led by Shan Yao, several people turned around in the Golden Wheel Palace. They passed by a large canteen. Not far away, there was another large canteen at the corner. After crossing the street, there was another large canteen at the end.

"Why are there so many big canteens? How could the Palace Master build three big canteens?"

Hua Xiaomei looked incredulous, thinking she was dazzled. The layout inside each big canteen was exactly the same, with no difference at all. Hua Xiaomei thought she was lost, and after wandering around for a long time, she was back to where she started.

"Are you hungry? The big canteen provides spiritual grains and spiritual porridge for free. It doesn't matter if you eat until you are full." Shan Yao pointed to the big pot in front.

Ren Changhong glanced and saw something more interesting: "It is strictly forbidden to waste food. Those who violate the rules will be put into the oil pan?"

Shan Yao also saw the sign erected not far away, and said: "The Palace Master hates people who waste food the most. Although the big canteen provides food for free, you have to eat as much as you take. If you take extra food and end up wasting it, you will be punished!"

Hearing this, Ren Changhong didn't feel anything, but Hua Xiaomei's eyes trembled and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Hua Xiaomei clearly remembered that Ye Jie had told her the cause of his death. He was not killed by others, but starved to death in the famine, so he had an extraordinary obsession with food.

The master who built three large dining halls, the master who hated people wasting food... Thinking of this, Hua Xiaomei became slightly excited, and it was difficult to calm down. She felt that the image in her mind in the past began to overlap with the mysterious master in Shan Yao's mouth. Although it was just some tiny traces, it still brought Hua Xiaomei endless hope, making her speed up.
