Chapter 337: Yam Candidate

Chapter 337 Shan Yao - Candidate

After receiving the task from Ye Jie, Shan Yao returned to the hall and quickly posted a notice on the bulletin board where the tasks were posted.

The ghosts gathered around, and some of them were illiterate. They discussed for a while:

"Who can tell me what is written on that notice?"

"The hall master wants to recruit 48 soul-catching ghost messengers to capture beast-shaped ghosts. Those who join the task, regardless of whether the task is completed or not, can be taught the soul-binding rope by the hall master. Those who are interested need to register with the ghost messenger Shan Yao..."

"Soul-binding rope? That is a mid-grade human-level skill. In the document hall, if you want to exchange for the soul-binding rope skill, you must have at least 20,000 Yin De, and it will cost you a lot of money. It took a lot of effort to master it, but I didn't expect that I could get the initiation and teaching from the hall master for this mission! "

"The mission reward is so generous? Ghost Messenger Shan Yao, count me in for this mission!"

When the ghosts heard that they could learn the Soul Binding Rope by joining the mission, they became excited and slowly accumulated good deeds. It would take at least a few years to exchange for the Soul Binding Rope technique. Moreover, it was unknown how long it would take to practice. Now, one mission could save a long time, so they had to join in no matter what.

Some ghosts still remained calm and keenly noticed the problem:

"The mission reward is so generous, doesn't it mean that this mission is quite difficult and may be life-threatening?"

"Beast ghost? What is that? The Palace Master said that there are all kinds of aliens in this world, and beast ghosts may be one of them. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives. No matter how good the reward is, they will still die."

However, the worries of these ghosts were soon drowned out by the louder discussions of the other ghosts:

"What is there to be afraid of? We have died once, are we still afraid of death?"

"That's the Soul Binding Rope. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no such good thing next time!"

The ghosts were enthusiastic and soon found Shan Yao to express their intention to participate in the mission.

Shan Yao sat at the long table and wrote down the names of the ghost messengers who came to participate with a pen and inkstone. The number of people soon exceeded 48. The ghost messengers who came to register still lined up in a long queue, at least hundreds of them. Even the ghost messengers who were not responsible for the soul-collecting but for other tasks also came to join in the fun when they heard that they could learn the soul-binding rope, eager to be selected.

Seeing the series of names registered, Shan Yao's mouth twitched. The hall master only gave her one day. She had to select the ghost messengers who participated in the task within this day, which undoubtedly made her a little embarrassed.

"With so many ghosts, how can I choose? Otherwise, I'd better go by the registration time and only take the first 48 registered..."

Shan Yao curled her lips. Could it be that she had to evaluate the ghost messengers one by one to see if they were competent? It would be better to just go by the registration time!

Just as Shan Yao was thinking, the long table in front of her was suddenly slapped heavily. She looked up unhappily and felt even worse: "What are you doing here?"

It was her cousin Sheng Jiang who interrupted her thoughts. Sheng Jiang was not polite and said: "Haven't you finished registering yet? It just so happens that I have a few partners. I heard that the rewards for this mission are generous, and I also want to participate."

Shan Yao was a little helpless: "Tell them that they are late, I will only take the first 48 ghost messengers who registered to participate in the mission."

Sheng Jiang looked at her a little confused: "Are you kidding? The Palace Master didn't say first come first served, He gave you the task of selecting ghost messengers, and it is up to you to decide who can participate. "

Yam curled his lips: "But this is unfair to those ghosts who registered early."

Ginger shrugged and said: "Are you serious? My partners are all seriously carrying out the soul-collecting mission, running back and forth in the human world, which delayed the opportunity to come. On the contrary, some ghost messengers in the hall do nothing, chat and joke all day, and are passive and lazy. On the contrary, because they stay in the hall and register first, they can enjoy such benefits. This is really unfair to my partners! "

Yam was stunned, it seems to be true.

Before Shan Yao could figure it out, Sheng Jiang spoke again: "Besides, my friends played with me when they were alive, and you have seen them every day. Now that you are in charge of the selection, of course you have to help your fellow countrymen. Are you going to give this good job to those outsiders? What about the Goguryeo people, are you going to help them?"

At the end, Sheng Jiang glared at her: "You asked me for the secret method of seducing souls, and I told you without saying a word. Why do you hesitate to choose a few fellow countrymen? Are you still my sister?"

Shan Yao really couldn't get over him , had to agree: "Okay, okay, I promise you that... write down their names, and they will be selected when the time comes."

Sheng Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and while registering the names of his companions, he smiled and said: "This is right... With the Soul Binding Rope, when I leave the Golden Wheel Hall and go to the Witch God Hall one day, my companions will have enough self-protection ability, at least they will not be bullied by other ghost messengers in the hall."

After registering, Shan Yao hurriedly sent Sheng Jiang away, and at the same time looked around with a guilty conscience, but happened to meet the eyes of another ghost messenger.

"You are... Ghost Messenger Xuan? What are you doing here?" After recognizing the identity of the ghost messenger, Shan Yao was slightly stunned.

Zheng Xuan smiled lightly: "Miss Shan Yao is joking, I naturally came to register according to the instructions on the signboard."

Shan Yao coughed dryly, all because of Sheng Jiang, who made her feel very guilty, and even lacked confidence, so she forgot the business.

Shan Yao picked up his pen, wrote down Zheng Xuan's name, and said, "Okay, I've registered your name. I'll go to the notice board later to check the final results."

Shan Yao put down his pen, thinking that Zheng Xuan would leave with satisfaction, but when he saw that he was still standing there, seemingly with no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to do?"

Zheng Xuan bowed his hands and said, "Yam Yao Girl, I used to hang out with the bully in the village and turned a deaf ear to his bullying of the villagers. Now I have become a ghost and I deeply regret my past. I have prepared a small gift here and hope that Yam Girl will accept it." , accept my apology.”

With that said, Zheng Xuan reached into his arms and took out a bulging pouch. Yam Yao was a little confused, so he took the bag and opened it, and there was a bag of spiritual stones inside.

The spiritual stone is mottled in appearance and is slightly inferior to the lower-grade spiritual stones. The spiritual power is somewhat incomplete, but for a first-level ghost, this spiritual stone with mottled appearance is still a rare and great supplement. , to the outside world, this bag of spiritual stones is worth at least several thousand yin virtues.

"This...these spirit stones are too valuable, I can't accept them." Yayao took a deep breath and quickly refused, wanting to hand the spirit stones back.

Zheng Xuan did not take it, but just said: "Miss Yam, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid my heart will not be at peace. Besides, you and I are both fellow countrymen, and now you have become a popular person beside the palace master. It is the pride of our entire Chiyan Ridge. I will ask you to take care of the people of Chiyan Ridge in the future, but don’t let the past grudges affect the future relationship. Just accept it." Speaking of the palace master, Zheng Xuan looked at him. There was also a hint of reverence. The master of the palace single-handedly suppressed the Earth Dragon King who caused the earthquake. He built a tall building with a single movement of his hand. He could inspire other ghosts with a single thought and teach them magical skills. It can be said that he has extraordinary abilities and extraordinary strength. Unpredictable.

The compliment was such that Yao Yao smiled sheepishly. Even she didn't know when she had become the pride of the villagers, and even Zheng Xuan became pleasing to the eye, so she said:

"Okay...since you said so, I'll accept it."

Zheng Xuan was overjoyed, and even Shan Yao was surprised by his joyful look. It seemed that Shan Yao was the one who apologized, but Zheng Xuan was the one who accepted the apology. He didn't know why he was so happy.

After Zheng Xuan left, Shan Yao always felt embarrassed. She had never been persecuted by the village bullies before. Besides, the people Zheng Xuan should apologize to were also those who were bullied by the village bullies in the past. So why should she come to her specifically? Own?

Before Shan Yao could think clearly, someone found her again.

"Are you...the clerical supervisor? What are you doing here? Don't tell me that you also want to participate in the mission."

What came to Shan Yao was an old man with gray hair and a shaved head. Shan Yao also recognized him. He was the clerical supervisor currently in charge of accounting.

The old man's name was Li Da. He had been the accountant of a large drug store during his lifetime. He had excellent memory for accounts and recorded them in an orderly and meticulous manner. As soon as he arrived, he greatly increased the administrative efficiency of the civil servants and became a He became the head of the civil servants in the palace and was responsible for unifying the accounts recorded by various civil servants.

Li Da's face was covered with wrinkles and his appearance was old. Unlike other ghosts, he did not die due to disaster, but died at a healthy age, so he looked like an old man.

Li Da alone is as efficient as the other three civilian ghosts. He often leaves the other civilian ghosts with nothing to do. Even Yam Yao often feels bored, so he sneaks out to seduce the soul, but unexpectedly he encounters a beast in the form of a ghost. ghost.

"Yam Yao Girl, I just drank a bowl of spiritual porridge in the cafeteria. The spiritual porridge is light. For young and vigorous ghosts, it may not be to their liking, but for an elderly ghost like me, it can be said to be quite good. good……"

Li Da said slowly, not anxious at all, and started chatting with Yam Yao.

Yam Yao was a little helpless. Now was not the time to talk about the taste of Ling Porridge. There were people waiting in line to register behind him. However, he couldn't drive the clerk away, so he had to chat with him all the time.

While they were chatting, Li Da added: "By the way, I had a few favorite antiques during my lifetime, and they were buried with me after my death. Recently, I asked the ghost messenger to bring them here. Miss Yam, please help me." Look at the fineness of these pearls and walnuts..."

Looking at the brightly colored pulp beads, like a cuckoo weeping blood, Yam Yao's eyes widened. The artifacts that could be collected by Li Da were indeed extraordinary and a rare treasure.

I don't know how long it took, until there were complaints from the back of the team, Li Da finally spoke: "Miss Yam, after I die, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and it is difficult to pick up anything. If I can learn this soul-binding rope, I will naturally be able to pick up things." It’s a lot more convenient…”

Yam Yao was a little hesitant, but Li Da then said, "I see that Yam Yao girl is particularly fond of these pearls. If you don't want to give them up, I'll keep them."

Yam Yao opened his mouth wide: "How could this be possible... This pulp bead is your treasured cultural toy, how can I take it away?"

Li Da smiled and said: "If Miss Yam is really sorry, just put my name in the account."

After hearing this, no matter how slow Yam Yao was, he realized what was going on and couldn't help but open his mouth.

Now Yao Yao finally understood why Zheng Xuan came to her to apologize. It turned out that the apology was false, and asking her to register it was real. Unfortunately, she thought Zheng Xuan really knew his mistake, but it turned out that it was not the case at all. That's what she imagined.

Yam blinked, and glanced at the precious Wenwan syrup beads involuntarily. He couldn't move his eyes away for a moment. The delicate beads seemed to be waving to Yam.

Anyway, we agreed to Jiang Jiang and Zheng Xuan. In this case, a few more places shouldn't be anything, right?

Yam Yao looked greatly refreshed. Yes, the palace master originally asked her to choose a suitable ghost servant. She was just choosing a ghost servant based on the task requirements. What was there to feel guilty about?

Thinking of this, Yao Yao took the pulp beads away without saying a word and said to Li Da: "Don't worry, when the quota is announced, you will definitely be selected."

Li Da left with satisfaction. Yam Yao sat at the table, his expression far more excited than before. After understanding the secret, the golden light shined in his eyes. Come over quickly to all the rare treasures!

Not long after, the time came when the quotas were announced. The ghosts looked at the list selected by Yam. Some people became eclipsed and cried out, wondering why such a good thing did not happen to them. Others were complacent. Full, a situation that was expected.

"Palace Master, I have selected the ghost ghosts to participate in the mission!"

Ye Jie, who was reviewing the pages sewn on seven sides in the main hall, suddenly heard the cheerful laughter of Yam Yao.

Following the sound, Ye Jie was stunned for a moment when he saw the appearance of the yam.

But I saw that Yam Yao's black hair was dotted with blood-like beads, her white arms were holding a string of golden bells, and a string of pearls and silver chains hung around her neck. She was full of girlish vitality and also had a faint sense of wealth. .

"You look in good spirits."

Ye Jie glanced at Yam Yao. After Yam Yao dressed up, he looked much better than his original appearance.

Yam Yao smiled faintly, raised a finger and said, "This is all thanks to the efforts of the Palace Master. Okay, Palace Master, the personnel have been selected. Please give them the initiation and the soul-binding rope."

Ye Jie nodded, then saw Shan Yao take out a series of things from the bag beside her, including pearls, jade, treasures, and even a few strings of colorful corals. She carefully decorated these things around the main hall. , decorated the originally empty main hall, feeling very happy, humming happily, and even Ye Jie could not help but be infected by her joy.
