Hell Emperor

Chapter 377 Ye Jie-Zhe Mei

After she calmed down, Yu Lan tidied up her appearance, opened the door and stepped into the private room.

She asked softly: "What do you want to eat? Yunzhu has just caught a lot of poisonous pufferfish and deep-sea lobsters from the East China Sea. Do you want to try them?"

Ye Jie didn't answer, but looked at Hua Xiaomei. Hua Xiaomei immediately made the decision: "Go with the most expensive one!"

Ye Jie's head was full of black lines: "You should order something you want to eat. Why do you order the most expensive thing when it comes to food?"

Hua Xiaomei chuckled: "Brother Jie is treating me today, so of course I want the best, but I can't lose the majesty of the palace master!"

Ye Jie couldn't help but complain: "If you catch me treating a guest, you will be blind, right? Next time I'll treat you to the big cafeteria to drink spiritual porridge."

"Speaking of the big dining hall..."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard the ghosts in the palace complaining that the ghosts and immortals from Qinglian Palace have been staying in the cafeteria."

Ye Jie was stunned: "You mean Shoufa? What is he doing in the cafeteria?"

"Nothing special. He just keeps drinking spiritual porridge. His stomach is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much he drinks, he will never be full. Even other hungry ghosts have no place to drink spiritual porridge, so they have to go to the other two large canteens. ”

"Is the spiritual porridge that delicious?" Ye Jie couldn't help but feel funny, "I mean, compared with the delicacies of the wine country, the spiritual porridge without any taste is simply difficult to swallow, except for the hungry ghost who just died. , and a poor man without any moral character, who else would drink?”

According to Ye Jie's speculation, Shoufa, who is in charge of the Yangshou trade, does not have billions, but he has hundreds of millions of yin virtues. He is so rich in yin virtues, but he is unwilling to use some to eat good ones. Instead, he fights with hungry and poor ghosts all day long. Free spiritual porridge, people really don’t know what to say.

"Who knows? Maybe Qinglian Palace is full of weirdos." Hua Xiaomei shrugged.

After some chat, Ye Jie also caught a glimpse of Magnolia holding the pipa in his arms, and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't heard you play music for a long time, can you play one for me?"

Yu Lan raised her chin slightly, glanced sideways at Ye Jie, and joked: "I wonder if Brother Jie wants to hear about the tomb of infatuation or sigh about the solitary grave?"

Ye Jie's eyes twitched: "Is there any better music?"

"How about Yunchou Yuyuan?"

"Not festive."

"How about Luan Gu Feng Wu?"

"Not very good."

Ye Jie felt a little helpless because he couldn't choose a song that he was satisfied with. It was a pity that he couldn't hear Yulan playing music when he came to the wine country, so he said, "I don't know what the best temperament technique is for Yulan." Can you lend me a copy?"

Yulan was stunned for a moment, with a bit of surprise in her beautiful eyes, but she still took out a gold-rimmed booklet from her arms and handed it to Ye Jie.

"Pipa Xuanyin..."

Seeing the neat words on the cover, Ye Jie couldn't help but nod, and then took out the seven-sided stitched page. Soon, a series of records were revealed on it:

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro Calendar, Ye Jie spent 16.6 million Yin De to modify Yu Lan’s skills files. 】

[Pipa Xuanyin (Dacheng) has been modified to Pipa Xuanyin (Wanhua). 】

"What……"

As the words on the seven-sided stitched page fell, Yulan's pupils shrank, and the mysterious truth about the way of music surged like a tide, overwhelmingly pouring into the depths of her mind. The difficulties she encountered in the past when practicing Pipa Xuanyin. All obstacles are now broken through, as if you are in a vast world!

"My Pipa Xuanyin actually..."

The revelation, which was like an epiphany, made Yulan ecstatic. All the secrets of the pipa's mysterious music were revealed to her. Even the gods who came in person could not surpass her in the music and rhythm.

Unintentionally, Yulan's fingers swept across the strings of the pipa. This gentle pluck of the strings brought about an explosive sound wave, which was as powerful as the full blow of a second-level immortal. If it weren't for Ye Jie's quick eyes and quick hands, he could use his skills to dissolve the sound wave. , I'm afraid that Yulan's casual attack will destroy most of the wine country.

Yu Lan stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes flashed with incredible light. She never imagined that such a casual pluck of a string could cause such terrible damage. If she used Pipa Xuanyin with all her strength, she might even be able to fight a third-level immortal.

Not long ago, she was just a weak musician in the wine country. Any ghost in the impermanent realm could make her unable to fight back. Now her strength has suddenly soared, and she has become a being whose abilities rival those of a third-level immortal. This change, It was simply hard for her to accept, and the contrast even made her suspect that she was dreaming.

Ye Jie had already expected this and said with a smile: "Your Pipa Xuanyin has now reached the Wanhua level. You should be able to play some nice tunes, right?"

Thinking of the ability to modify files mentioned by Ye Jie before, Yulan took a deep breath. Now she finally understood why the companions around Ye Jie had all advanced in strength by leaps and bounds, and had learned the supreme magical skills that took thousands of years to master.

Seeing that she had received such great benefits, Yu Lan felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Brother Jie, why do you need to do this? If you want to hear me play music, just tell me, so why do you need..."

Ye Jie interrupted her: "Yulan doesn't have to feel burdened. It's because I want to do it, so I do it. You have helped me a lot along the way. This is the only thing I can repay. Have you forgotten? ? You helped me raise my soul before..."

Hearing Ye Jie talk about raising the soul, Yulan smiled shyly and lifted her hair beside her ears. There was also a bit of shame on her hot cheeks: "That was all a long time ago... Besides, now we have it." What kind of disintegration can’t be repaired by this heart-warming and soul-nurturing spring? Why do I still need to nourish the soul?”

"That's not necessarily the case." Ye Jie smiled, "No matter how good the heart-warming and soul-nurturing spring is, how can it compare to Yulan's devoted help?"

Yu Lan pursed her lips, her eyes sparkled brightly, and she stroked the strings with her bare hands. This time, with her careful control of her strength, the light and beautiful piano sound floated: "A golden branch and jade leaf, dedicated to Brother Jie."

On the side, Hua Xiaomei turned down the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but she held it back in the end.

The dreamlike sound of the pipa floats in the air. The sound is crisp and sweet, like a clear spring in the mountains, melodious and melodious, like misty clouds. Every wisp of the sound can touch the deepest softness of the soul, letting all the emotions flow. Blooming freely in the music.

In a trance, Ye Jie heard a soft whisper in his ear, as if he heard Magnolia calling his name. When he looked up, he found that Magnolia was concentrating on playing, with no time to be distracted, as if everything was his own illusion.

While the music was playing, the dishes also arrived. Mint brought out plates of delicious dishes. Crystal-clear lobsters were placed on the plates. The shrimp meat showed a crystal white sheen. The puffer fish meat was cut into thin slices. The craftsmanship of the knife is amazing. It is also decorated with black truffles and exotic animals. In the egg-like ovoid, red sparks are constantly flickering. Even the wine brought has an amazing flavor. Intoxicating fragrance.

After the food was served, Mint did not leave. Instead, she raised her cat ears and listened carefully to Magnolia's tune. When the performance was over, she was the first to applaud:

"Yu Lan plays so beautifully! It's not at the same level as before... Why do we feel that Yu Lan's level is much higher than before? Or is it that Yu Lan only plays music with her heart in front of Brother Jie?"

Yulan's face turned red, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Jie, then accused Mint and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was obviously Brother Jie who modified my file and helped me improve the pipa Xuanyin to the stage of ten thousand transformations. Only then can I play the wonderful music." music.”

After the song was played, Ye Jie felt warm all over his body, as if he was swimming in a warm ocean, and the fatigue from the past few days was swept away.

Taking out the seven-sided stitched page, the record on it also told Ye Jie where his current feeling came from.

[Records in the Book of Life and Death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moro Calendar, Ye Jie was inspired by the pipa song: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves. 】

[When you are next to the performer, your practice speed increases ten times. 】

[When you are next to the performer, the power of the technique increases three times. 】

[Duration: forty-nine days]

Looking at the words on the remaining pages, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the Pipa Xuanyin of the Wanhua level? Increase the practice speed ten times, even if it is compared to some panacea, the effect is not weak at all, and even more Not to mention that the power of the technique can be increased three times, this is really..."

The magnificent music played by an outstanding musician can inspire thousands of people at the same time, and can even directly affect the outcome of a war.

And Yulan's current achievements are no worse than those of the music masters, and only the immortals in the sky can compare with her.

Knowing that these changes in Yulan's body were all caused by Ye Jie, Mint suddenly became interested, grabbed Ye Jie's arm, and acted coquettishly: "We also want Wanhua level skills... "

Ye Jie smiled. No matter what, Mint had helped him raise his soul, and he had no intention of refusing: "What technique do you want? Just give me the classics, or you can choose some of the ones I recommend. "Kung Fu."

Mint thought for a while, then took out a classic and handed it to Ye Jie: "This is the Hundred Refining Body that we are best at. If we had practiced the Hundred Refining Body to the level of Guizhen while we were alive, we might not have been poisoned to death." Yeah…we want to learn this.”

"Refining your body a hundred times..."

Ye Jie nodded. He was also familiar with the Hundred Body Refining. He had taught Xia Wei before, and he could quickly recover physical injuries and helped Xia Wei overcome many difficulties. Now that Bo Bo said he wanted to improve, he would certainly not refuse. .

[Ye Jie spent 16.5 million Yin De to modify Mint’s skills files. 】

[Hundred Refinements of Body (Transformation) has been modified to Hundred Refinements of Body (Wanhua). 】

As the words on the broken page appeared, Mint's body flashed with golden light, and his entire body became golden, looking like a golden statue.

Yulan was quite worried and couldn't help but pull Ye Jie and said, "Is Sister Mint okay? She doesn't look good..."

Ye Jie was also a little worried. He didn't know what happened to Bai Lian Shen. Suddenly he heard Bo Min giggle and said, "We finally completed it! This is a golden glazed body that is stronger than a copper skin and iron body. It is a proof of a strong man who has been tempered for thousands of times. In the future We don’t have to worry about getting hurt anymore!”

As he said this, Mint seemed to have discovered some new toy. His body suddenly turned bronze, then golden, and then returned to its original state. He was having a great time playing with it.

Yulan said at the right time: "Thanks to Brother Jie for helping you modify the file. Why don't you thank him quickly?"

Only then did Mint come back to his senses. He quickly put a piece of black truffle into Ye Jie's bowl and said as if to offer a treasure: "Brother Jie, try this twenty-year-old truffle. We specially prepared it for you. It's delicious." Yes, you must have never eaten it, try it now!”

"Truffles..."

When the truffle enters your mouth, it blooms with a silky and delicate texture that melts instantly. It contains both the wildness of nature and the gentleness of the earth, making it unforgettable.

After tasting it, Ye Jie commented: "It's delicious, but it's not old enough, so the taste is a bit off."

Mint stuck out her tongue, not believing it: "How is that possible? It's like you have eaten other truffles before!"

Ye Jie didn't answer, but the heroic figure of Lord Mo Luo appeared in his mind.

When Ye Jie brought him back to the main tent of Mingling Hall, the master of Mo Luo Hall held a banquet to reward him. One of the dishes included ten thousand year white truffles, and the ten thousand year white truffles were worth thirty billion yin virtues.

As the master of Jinlun Palace, Ye Jie united with Yin merchants to promote the Yangshou trade. The annual income was only 5 billion Yin virtues, and it would be reduced year by year. It might take eight or ten years to accumulate 30 billion Yin virtues. It would take the combined power of hundreds of millions of creatures on a continent to be able to match Moro's plate of dishes, and at that banquet, there were many dishes like ten thousand-year-old white truffles.

Shaking his head, Ye Jie turned to invite: "Since we are here, let's all eat together."

At Ye Jie's invitation, Magnolia and Mint also sat over and enjoyed the delicacies of the wine country together.

Unconsciously, Hua Xiaomei seemed to have drunk too much and fell down on the table.

Mint was a little worried: "Oh no, this four-pin Wangyou wine is too strong. Is she okay?"

Hua Xiaomei raised her head in a daze: "Don't I want you to get the most expensive one? Bring me a pint of Wangyou wine!"

Yulan said with concern: "If you drink a third-grade Wangyou Wine or above, you will completely forget many things, which will damage your memory. A first-grade Wangyou Wine is more equivalent to a weakened Meng Po Tang. After drinking it, you will forget everything. The most you can do is drink it." Fourth grade.”

"Fourth level...how is four level enough? I am a judge...I only drink one level of wine..."

Seeing that Hua Xiaomei was talking nonsense, Ye Jie was very concerned and had to say: "I will send her to rest first. I originally said that I would talk to Fuling about tax matters, but it seems that it will be next time."

Yulan reminded: "The guest rooms on the upper floors of the wine country are comfortable. Let her go and have a rest."

Ye Jie nodded, slowly performed his kung fu, lifted Hua Xiaomei up, and carried her to the upper guest room.

"I'm so angry. The last time you invited me to dinner, it was Yulan who came to cause trouble. Now she comes again. Did she have grudges against me in her previous life..."

After being sent to the guest room, Hua Xiaomei's nonstop complaints could be heard in his ears. Ye Jie also found it a bit funny. Yulan, who was obviously not as good as her, was not even drunk, but she was the first to get drunk. He didn't know how much he drank. Then he asked: "Where did Magnolia come from to cause trouble? Are you unhappy after listening to the pipa music?"

"What am I happy about?" Hua Xiaomei gasped for breath and said unhappily, "The jade leaves of the golden branches and jade leaves are the jade leaves of Magnolia and Ye Jie, and they don't share my share, so why should I be happy?"

"Really?" Ye Jie raised his eyebrows. It turns out that the golden branches and jade leaves have such meaning, "Then what do you do to make you happy?"

Hua Xiaomei thought for a while, with a drunken blush on her face: "If you say a word that contains us, like golden branches and jade leaves, I will be happy!"

"What?" Ye Jie looked helpless. What kind of request was this? Where did he want to go? "I think you are making things difficult for me."

"I'm just making things difficult for you!"

Hua Xiaomei puffed her lips and said, despite her carefree appearance, she is quite reserved on the inside. She is so reserved that even if she expresses her true feelings to her sweetheart, she will only put on beautiful makeup, and then say with a solemn face that the scholar is a confidant. Death, the remaining half of the sentence is left to her sweetheart to guess. If it were not for the strength of alcohol, she would not have the courage to say these words.

"Let me think about it...the flowers are blooming and the leaves are falling. Are you happy?" Ye Jie touched his chin.

Hua Xiaomei became even more sad, and said with a bit of crying: "What is this? The flowers bloom and the leaves have withered, and the flowers and leaves only bloom. It is far worse than the golden branches and jade leaves!"

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "Then...the flowers are blooming and the leaves are luxuriant, are you satisfied?"

Hua Xiaomei pouted, and the pink color from the roots of her ears to her cheeks expressed her inner shyness and expectation: "It's just average, barely on par with Jinzhiyuye, isn't there anything better?"

Hua Xiaomei came close to her face, and Ye Jie could almost feel the long and warm breath, with the unspoken fragrance and tenderness, and he said with happiness in his heart:

"One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi. This is the mantra in the Bodhicitta Dharma, and it is also...us."

Hua Xiaomei laughed, with no impurities or embellishments, only the purest satisfaction and joy, as if she had found the warmest home in her heart.

She hugged Ye Jie, her whole body nestled in each other's arms, her cheek pressed against Ye Jie's chest, and she could clearly hear the powerful heartbeat of the other person. Everything around her became blurry and void, and they were the only ones left in the world. For the two of them, time seemed to turn into eternity at this moment.
