Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Section 65: The Pantry

"Senior Zhong, you ......" Zhang Su looked at Zhong Tianli helplessly.

"You look for you, don't worry about me, I'll just take a look." Zhong Tianli replied with a smile.

Zhang Su really didn't know what to say, he really wanted to persuade Zhong Tianli to leave, because he didn't want others to know about the investigation of Yuan Tian's information, but Zhong Tianli obviously felt more sorry for his Horcrux treasures, and was unwilling to put Zhang Su alone in the storage room, for fear that Zhang Su would do something to damage his precious Horcruxes.

Just when Zhang was at a loss, at the entrance of the building, a vigorous and powerful scolding voice came: "Zhong Tianli you bastard, are you going to blow up the company to be satisfied?" Come up and listen to me! ”

Listening to the voice, you can know that it is Yan Hunshan who speaks, only when Yan Hunshan speaks has such a huge aura, and only Yan Hunshan dares to call Zhong Tianli's name.

"What's wrong with Old Man Yan? Why did you choke on medicine today? Listening to Yan Huishan's words, Zhong Tianli was not afraid, but walked out of the storage room, walked to the door, and shouted at the corridor with the same voice in his throat.

"Okay, you think I can't control you, do you? I'm going to tear down your precious research room for you now, kick you out of the company, and I'll see how you can give me a crossover. Yan Hunshan turned to Zhong Tian on fire, and the footsteps downstairs faintly sounded.

"Oh, my brother is just joking, no, no, I'll go up, it just so happens that the kid is here, I'll ask him to help me watch the store." Zhong Tianli heard that Yan Huishan was really going to come down, and suddenly confessed.

"Is Zhang suspicious of you?" When Zhang Su left, he didn't tell Yan Hunshan where he was going, Yan Hunshan naturally didn't know that Zhang Su hadn't left the company yet, so he asked puzzled.

"Well, they came to me for the key to the storage room, saying they were looking for some books to read." Zhong Tianli replied.

Zhang Su smiled bitterly in the storage room, after Zhong Tianli and Yan Huishan shouted and chatted like this, it is estimated that the entire company now knows that he is in the storage room.

"It's a good thing to read a book, okay, you ask him to help you look at your mess, you come up to me now, first explain to me what just exploded, and then I still need you to make a judgment for me." Yan Huishan explained.

"Okay, I'll go up now." Zhong Tianli replied without thinking, Yan Huishan usually doesn't look for him much, but now that he says that there is something, it seems that there is something special, and Zhong Tianli naturally does not dare to slack off.

After agreeing to Yan Hunshan, Zhong Tianli turned his head and said to Zhang Wei behind him: "Zhang boy, you remember what I just said to you, don't move around with the half-finished horcruxes in here, there is one more in addition to this, my research room has no door, you can help me take care of it, and come back to give you the care fee." ”

"There's no need for the babysitting fee, just help you watch it all the time." Seeing that Zhong Tianli was about to leave from the storage room, Zhang Tianli's face was full of happiness, as long as Zhong Tianli didn't disturb himself here, let alone take care of one and the storage room and a research room, even if he asked him to move the blown iron door back to the research room now, he was willing.

Zhong Tianli nodded, took off a belt full of special tools on his body, and slowly walked out of the storage room.

Seeing Zhong Tianli leaving, Zhang Su excitedly looked for something like ancient books and classics in the storage room, since Hu Xi said that he had seen information about Yuantian in the storeroom, then as long as he found the relevant books, the mystery about Yuantian's information would naturally be solved, and it would be better if there were clues about Yuantian's remnant soul in the ancient books, and there would be one more glimmer of hope if the Yuantian Soul Jade was opened again.

Most of the storage room is stacked with miscellaneous items, seven or eight cardboard boxes, overturned shelves, broken cabinets, deflated balls, and rackets full of dust, all of which are piled up in a disorderly manner, each with a thick layer of dust on it, in short, a messy old warehouse, all of which are unused or damaged.

In addition to these dilapidated objects, there are some incongruous things next to the door where the storage room and the research room are connected, such as small Ding small furnace, jade pendant, ceramic clay pot, shower potted plant, although these things are also placed in the storage room, but from the appearance it is indeed new, and its shape is common on the market There are many gaps, it can be described as strange shapes, some are more abstract, some are more scary, and some seem to be patched, so they seem incomplete, without exception, These specially shaped things all exude some subtle soul power fluctuations, and Zhang Su judged that these east should be west are Zhong Tianli's so-called semi-finished horcruxes.

However, Zhang Su didn't come to look for these things, so he just looked at them from a distance, didn't get close to touch these strange objects, and then plunged into the messy pile of dusty debris, turning over the boxes and cabinets to free up a lot of old objects, old tea jars, old wine bottles, army green old-fashioned peaked caps, Zhang Su even turned out an old-fashioned box pistol from a cardboard box, the black body of the gun with a frosted texture, but it was not loaded with bullets.

After rummaging for a long time, Zhang Su finally pulled out some worn-out books from a box on the second floor of a shelf, there are many types of books, there are villain books with comic strips, old-fashioned books with wires, books with yellowed corners and nails, and rough and pirated modern and modern style novels.

After a while, Zhang Su finally turned out a book from the bottom of the box, the title of the book said "A Brief Introduction to the Soul Realm", Zhang Su simply flipped through it, and found that the book was very thin, but it was the kind of book that he wanted to introduce the soul, and the content recorded in it was like "Xu Xiake's Travels", and it was like "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", in short, it was a little bizarre, but it was meticulous in some weird places, most of which were recording the content of the soul world.

Can you be inseparable from the camp and hug one?

This is the first sentence of the opening sentence, and the speech is made in an inquiring tone, which should mean that even if the body and soul are one, can they not be separated again? Obviously, the separation of the soul body is what the soul master does, so this sentence is not an inquiry but a question.

Later, he said: The spirit is out of shape, and each returns to its true state, so it is called a ghost, a ghost, and a true house.

According to Zhang Su's understanding, this should be something after the separation of the soul master's soul and body, the spiritual consciousness leaves the body, the body lives in the body realm, the soul enters the soul realm, and each belongs to its own existence environment, and the soul is actually the same as the ghost, and the ghost is in the soul realm or the "real house ghost world".

There is also a brief introduction in the book about the way for people to become soul masters: it is in the infant, the qi is dedicated to the one, and the harmony is also, the thing does not hurt, and the demo is great.

Zhang Su judged that these words should be the theoretical basis of the soul master Kaiyuan, suggesting that Kaiyuan needed to find the kind of primordial infant state when the soul body was not completely fused.

In addition, "A Brief Introduction to the Soul Realm" also cites a lot of ancient texts to support the situation of the separation of the soul and the existence of the soul, which does not have much effect on Zhang Su, because he has become a soul master, and he has also dealt with a lot of souls and dead souls, and he knows that there are souls in this world without supporting evidence and basis.

In addition to the previous quotation of a lot of ancient Chinese to corroborate, to the back are some modern words to explain the wonder of the soul world, it records some of the strange images of the dead souls and ghosts that I have seen, and also records what powerful abilities some powerful soul masters have used to shake the world against the ghosts, there are "stone grinders" who can use powerful body and soul skills to crush stones into foam, there are "strong soul people" who can suppress a hundred and ten dead souls with only soul pressure, and there are "sound kings" who can shake away ghost-level souls with only one soul sound, There are "strange crow people" who release millions of blue and black crows to devour the souls of hostile soul masters, and there are also those who can escape and take off, like a grand view of the soul master's ability.

Zhang Su looked at the content of the book seriously, and refused to let go of a detail about the source of the information, finally, Zhang Su found a sentence with the word source in the middle of the book, although these sentences have the word source sky, but the content and the source of the information is not very related, most of them are recorded or transcribed by the author of other people's rumors and speculations, for example, there is a paragraph that reads: "According to a soul master named Tu Hao, the creation period of the gods is the source heaven period, the gods come from the outside world, they brought the original soul, and the human world calls it God, The soul world calls it the Source Heaven Soul Master. ”

This content is not of much help to Zhang Su, this is similar to what Nuwa told Zhang Su before, Nuwa is a source of heavenly soul master from the Taoyuan realm, in charge of the Huaxia region, these Zhang Su already know.

Looking for it further, Zhang Su found an introduction to the content of the source sky, this introduction is somewhat helpful to Zhang Su, the general content is about the various fierce beasts in the source of the day, it is said that the dragon, the year, and the golden snail are extremely powerful existences among the source of the beasts, but why the source of the beasts exist in this world and how they perished, the author also gave a big question, and now the evidence that can prove that the ancient source of the beasts is only inherited from various customs of turning evil into good fortune and some fossil remains of paleontology.

According to the content, Zhang Su thinks that these two heredities can be used as a starting point, and the evidence of customs does not exist in kind, so even if he knows, it is not very useful, and the paleontological fossil is a good hint for Zhang Su who is preparing to search for the remnant soul of the source sky, the remnant soul of the source heaven he searched before was collected in similar antiquities, one was collected from the fossil of the source heavenly golden snail, one was collected from the colored scale arm guard made of the source heaven color lizard, and the other was collected from the source heaven dragon stone pillar, This shows that there is a high possibility that the antiquities contain the remnant soul of the source sky.

Zhang Su continued to flip back the pages of the book, and also found a few words about the source in the introduction to the Horcrux: "In the realm of the soul, the method of the soul of man is none other than all kinds of treasures, commonly known as Horcruxes, Horcruxes are divided into several levels, from low to high in order of low, medium, high, ancient, Yuantian, low, medium, and upper world, ancient because of strong and rare, Yuantian because of demons. ”

These words are not difficult to understand, Zhang felt that this was the introduction of the existence of Horcruxes, now low-grade, medium-grade Horcruxes are very common, the Tianjing bracelet and exorcism bell in his own hands are medium-grade Horcruxes, although the price of high-grade Horcruxes is high, but there is no shortage, the color scale arm guard is the high-grade Horcrux level, and the ancient level of Horcruxes is said to be very rare, anyone who has an ancient Horcrux or family will not be nameless in the world of the soul master, and because of the rarity of the ancient Horcruxes, the owner does not dare to expose them easily, so as not to attract death.

The source of the Horcrux is stronger than the ancient Horcrux, so the author used the word demon to describe the source of the Horcrux, the source of the Horcrux dare not say that it has a strong power, but everything that can be called the source of the Horcrux has a unique power, and each ability can be described as a demon, according to Zhang Su when he was in the Heavenly Soul Castle to listen to the old man about the source of the Horcrux Nuwa furnace, it is said that with the Nuwa furnace in hand, you can directly create people, if millions of people can do it, then the world will definitely fall into chaos, This should be the possible impact of the Origin Horcrux's abilities.

Zhang Su put his hand into his pocket and gently rubbed his Yuantian Soul Jade, he knew that Yuantian Soul Jade was also a Yuantian Horcrux, but he didn't know what kind of power Yuantian Soul Jade had if he couldn't use it, and Soul Jade seemed to have been using his Horcrux body to feed the remnant soul of Nuwa inside, so his own ability was not really displayed, or he didn't have enough energy to exert it.

As Hu Xi said, there is not much information about Yuantian on the "Brief Description of the Soul Realm", and most of the content Zhang Su has already learned from the mouth of Nuwa's remnant soul, as for the slightly useful content is the paragraph about the Yuantian fierce beast, which suggests that Zhang Su can go to find some fossils of ancient creatures, maybe some remnants of the remnant soul of Yuantian can be found in it.

Zhang Su flipped through other books at the bottom of the box, and after searching for a long time, he didn't find any other information about "Yuantian", but he saw some handwriting written in ornate cursive by someone from a few notes in the books.

The first page reads: Farewell to you, I have infected too much of the soul of the dead, no one will allow me to exist, I love you, but don't let my love hurt you, this is my choice.

The second page reads: Don't give up, with my Horcrux attainments, I will succeed, Sister Qian hold on, I will save you.

The third page reads: Brother Zhong, I don't want to survive, please don't work hard for me anymore, Brother Yan told me that you haven't closed your eyes for a few nights, you said that you want to develop a Horcrux that can strip me of the invading spiritual consciousness, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but that kind of Horcrux doesn't conform to the laws of the soul world, I know, I can't do it.

The fourth page reads: Yes, there are some evil tricks in the soul realm, I can study it, the creator has created hundreds of millions of life trajectories, then there are hundreds of millions of solutions to everything, even if there is only a 1 in 100 million probability I have to find out.

The fifth page reads: Dear Brother Zhong, I am going to find a piece of pure land to cleanse my filthy soul, I am leaving, don't look for me.

In just five pages of notes, what makes Zhang Su feel is an affectionate story, this story may be related to the three veterans of the Qicheng Branch, Zhang Su judged from the title, Brother Yan should be Yan Hunshan, Brother Zhong should be Zhong Tianli, and Qian Meizi should be the Qian Po of the former Ministry of Medicine, and one of the three people who survived the Heavenly Soul Castle incident, it seems that although Qian Po saved her life on the Heavenly Soul Mountain, she also left a lot of sequelae, as if to say that the soul was polluted by something, It's just that this is the first time I've heard of this statement.

Zhang Su thought about it, he didn't plan to ask Zhong Tianli about the poignant story on this note, after all, this story looks too sad, maybe it will touch Zhong Tianli's sore spot or reverse scales, but Zhang Su also thought of one person, that is Hu Xi, Hu Xi knows the company's affairs best, since Hu Xi has also read this book, then it is impossible for Hu Xi to ignore the note inside, maybe Hu Xi knows the things behind the note, and he can ask Hu Xi when he has time, which is also convenient to understand the reason why Zhong Tianli is weird.

Zhang Su thought about it, while closing the book, he put the original book back into the original box, and then turned over the other boxes, there were no things related to the book in the other boxes, and Zhang Su did not find more ancient books that recorded the information of the source sky, but in addition to the ancient books, Zhang Su found a stone with a trilobite fossil, the stone is as big as a palm, and the imprint of the trilobite on it is only the size of the palm of his hand, Zhang Su inadvertently touched it in a bottom box, Because of a special feeling, Zhang Su couldn't help but take it out.

When Zhang Su first touched the trilobite fossil, he felt very cold, and when he held it in his hand, Zhang Su always felt that the trilobite in the stone came to life, and at the same time, he also found that his soul power was slowly flowing into the fossil.

"This stone can suck other people's soul power?" Zhang Wei muttered in surprise, and then hurriedly threw the trilobite fossil on top of a box to prevent more soul power from being sucked away for no reason.

But just when Zhang Su threw away the trilobite fossil, in the trilobite fossil, an arthropod-like soul came out of the stone, looking at Zhang Su menacingly, the two tentacles in front of the head crossed and touched from time to time, behind the tentacles was a slightly open mouth, which was cooing and sucking the soul power lost by Zhang Su, when the last trace of soul power lost by Zhang Su was sucked by the soul mouth of the arthropod, the eyes on both sides of the arthropod's saddle slowly opened, and the eyes flashed with a bright blue light, Its eyes showed a greedy look, and it looked at Zhang Su, as if Zhang Su's soul power was tempting it.

"Source Heaven Remnant Soul?" Zhang Su couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's not the remnant soul of the source sky, but the complete soul of the source heaven crown insect in the source heaven fierce beast, but the strength of the source heaven crown insect is judged by the number, a single source heaven crown insect is not enough to be called a fierce beast, this source heaven crown insect in front of you only has the strength of the primary soul king, and it is not very strong." It was Nuwa's remnant soul that spoke, and when the trilobite soul sucked Zhang Su's soul power, Nuwa's remnant soul also absorbed some arthropod remnant soul power from the trilobite fossil, so it was able to reappear.

"Master Nuwa has come out, you said that the soul of this Source Heaven King Crown Worm has the strength of a junior soul king?" Zhang Su was first excited after seeing Nuwa's remnant soul, and then heard that the insect soul in front of him actually had the strength of a junior soul king, and Zhang Su couldn't help but worry.

"In the past, the Source Heaven Crown Worm was tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of insects forming a swarm, and the power of the insect swarm was no less than that of a high-level soul ancestor, I have seen a swarm composed of millions of Source Heaven Crown Worms instantly devouring a Source Heaven Baixi Beast with the strength of a primary soul immortal, and now you only have a weak soul of the Source Heaven Crown Worm in front of you, but the primary soul king level, there is no need to be afraid." Nuwa explained.

"Huh? There is only one of them with the strength of a primary soul king, and what kind of scene does it have to be when millions of junior soul king-level insects gather together! As soon as Zhang Su thought of the millions of insects with similar strength to himself scattered around, he couldn't help but feel frightened and surprised.

"Apprentice, take it down, so that I will have the Origin Soul Power to maintain, and I can continue to teach you other Source Heaven techniques." Nuwa's remnant soul prompted.

"Hmm." Zhang Su nodded and agreed.
