"This is where the soul master is trained?"

Looking at the ancient castle in front of him, Zhang Su asked.

"This place is called Heavenly Soul Castle." Hu Xi replied.

"Heavenly Soul Castle? Why did a place that looks good come up with such a name? It sounds a little awkward, but it doesn't feel very auspicious, but it is based on the name of the mountain. Zhang Su guessed

"It turns out that this mountain is not this name, once this mountain was called Xianhe Mountain, meaning the meaning of the immortal family, this ancient castle is called Xianhe Fort, it is a resort for the rich, more than ten years ago, there was a supernatural event here, the former fairy castle became a ghost castle, no one wants to come here for a vacation, Xianhe Mountain was renamed Tiansoul Mountain, Xianhe Fort became Tiansoul Fort."

"Paranormal events?" Zhang asked curiously.

Subsequently, Hu Xi told Zhang Su what he knew about the origin of the Heavenly Soul Castle.

Tiansoul Mountain was originally called Xianhe Mountain, located in the plain of the suburbs of Qicheng, composed of several small hills that are not too high, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery is pleasant, it seems to be a paradise in general, because of these reasons, Xianhe Mountain was favored by a wealthy businessman, and chose a place with a moderate height and a wide field of vision among several small hills in the Xianhe Mountain Range, bought this land, and built this European-style castle, which is called Xianhe Castle, in order to come here for vacation at any time, and later, under the vigorous publicity of rich businessmen, More and more wealthy people think that the environment here is good, and the place for leisure and vacation is chosen here, Xianhebao is famous in the rich circle, and the wealthy businessmen see business opportunities from it, and expand Xianhebao to build an integrated resort area, Xianhebao has become such a huge and magnificent as it is today.

After the completion of the expansion of Xianhe Fort, in order to promote this resort, the wealthy businessmen invited dozens of relatives, friends, and celebrities to come to Xianhe Fort for free to stay, providing the highest level of service, the time was set for a week, and on the first night of the gathering, the supernatural event happened.

The rich merchant held a pool party in the evening, gave a thank-you eulogy, and then the carnival began, but not long after, a man and a woman disappeared, and then a guest began to go crazy without warning, holding a large boning knife in the kitchen, slashing around, and hacking three people to death as soon as he came up, although he was subdued by the security guards who came, but these things made the other guests panic, and the rich merchant who owned Xianhe Castle fell from the balcony on the second floor in the process of calming everyone's emotions, He planted his head on the stairs below the balcony and was killed instantly.

Almost at the same time, there were a number of murders, things were too weird, the group of leaderless guests chose to flee in advance, even the staff in Xianhe Fort were scattered, before escaping, I don't know who called the police, and when the police arrived, the lively and prosperous fairy castle has become a ghost town that everyone talks about, except for the crazy guest who was knocked unconscious and tied to the pillar of the hall and four dead people lying on the ground, the whole fairy castle is brightly lit but lonely.

The police first collected the report information and the evidence at the scene, first according to the clues, they found the missing male and female guests on a cliff on the mountainside, naked, they should have stumbled and slipped off the cliff while doing indescribable things, and then investigated the crazy and slashing guests who were tied to the pillars, and the result was that the guests had already recovered from their madness, and they no longer remembered what happened before, and finally investigated the balcony where the rich merchant was before he fell, and the fence around the balcony was almost half a person high and there was no trace of damage, Unless the wealthy businessman deliberately jumped down, there was no possibility of falling at all, and everything was beyond the previous understanding of the police.

A party, six people died for different reasons, the police reported the investigation information to the superiors, and the superiors integrated and sent two teams of people, one team is a criminal investigation team composed of several criminal investigation experts, and the other team is the intelligence team sent by our soul hunting company, said to be a team, in fact, there are only three people, one is in charge of intelligence at that time, one is in charge of emergency at that time, and the driver at that time.

There is nothing new to be found by the criminal investigation experts, and the conclusions drawn are not much different from the previous inferences of the police, the naked male and female guests fell into the cliff at the time of passion, and there are still sperm spots and traces of slipping at the place of the fall, and the fall of the rich businessman has no evidence of someone else's deliberate murder, it may be an accident, although the probability of such an accident is too low from the perspective of the structure of the railing, but it is impossible to find other more likely situations, the most unexpected is that the guest who went crazy and slashed people, after being diagnosed by a psychiatristThe conclusion was that he did not suffer from any mental illness, and the forensic doctor did not detect any drug use or hallucinogens from the person's body, and even the alcohol test showed zero, which means that the guest who cut the person was likely to be murdered on a whim or deliberately, but the police contacted the other guests at the meeting, and learned from the guests that the guest who cut the person was indeed red-eyed when he cut people, and kept waving the knife, as if he was crazy.

The company found some clues, according to the clues left at the scene and the unique soul-searching soul technique of the intelligence person in charge at the time, it was found that the soul of a hacked guest was hiding in the underground cellar of the ancient castle, and when it was found by the intelligence officer, the guest's whole soul was still trembling because of excessive fright, as if it had been greatly stimulated, and was about to evolve from the first soul to a ghast, at that time, the company's intelligence director first appeased the ghost, and then learned from the conversation with the ghost, Before the death of this dead soul was frantically chased and slashed by the guests and friends with red eyes, when he died, he felt that he was separated from the body, and he turned into a pinch of air wandering between the chaotic guests, slowly, he saw a huge phantom in the control of the guests and friends who were slashing people with knives, the huge phantom had a hideous face, and the appearance was extremely terrifying, and the manipulation of the human body was like manipulating a marionette, and the manipulated person was not particularly coordinated but did not have the slightest emotion.

When the slashing guests were subdued by everyone, the huge phantom jumped onto the balcony and once again controlled the rich merchant standing on the balcony, but this time the control was not the crazy one before, but like pushing the rich merchant off the balcony with an invisible force, causing the rich merchant to fall straight down with his head down, and finally saw the rich merchant lying on the ground full of brains, and an identical phantom rose from the rich merchant's body, but the rich merchant's phantom just came out not long after, was grasped by the huge phantom with a hideous face, stuffed into his mouth, and swallowed it.

After the rich merchant fell to his death, everyone was scattering and escaping, and the hacked soul did not know that he was dead, thinking that everyone was avoiding the terrifying huge phantom, so he ran around like everyone else, and finally ran to this underground cellar to hide, when he wanted to open a huge empty wine vat in the wine cellar, his two hands could not grasp the wooden round lid on the wine vat, only then did he find that he had no body, and became a revenant, As soon as he thought of the terrifying phantom that devoured his soul, he finally decided to stay in the cellar and never go out.

According to the description of the giant phantom by the revenant, the intelligence officer found the opposite image from the revenant soul in the bounty, the huge phantom is an ancient ghost king, named Zhan, that is to say, the whole incident happened to this ghost king Zhan behind the ghost, the intelligence officers used the soul searching technique to search for the location of the ghost king Zhan again, and found that the ghost king did not leave far away, after that, the soul hunting company formed a soul hunting team again according to the strength prediction of the ghost king Zhan, and found the ghost king Zhan hiding in the middle of the mountain.

Because it is in the territory of Qicheng, the Qicheng branch was personally led by Yan Lao, who had already served as the general manager at that time, and gathered seven powerful soul masters in the company at that time to participate, and the head office sent two capable generals of the emergency team to support, a total of ten people participated in the encirclement and suppression of the ghost king, these ten people picked out one at random, and enjoyed a high reputation in the soul master world, this ten-person combination is known as one of the strongest combat power combinations in the soul master world in recent years, and even the head office thinks that this combination will fight. There shouldn't be any problem in dealing with a ghost king who has survived for half a century, and the ghost king war is imminent.

However, the strength of the Ghost King Zhan is not only not weak, but also extremely cunning in behavior, I don't know if it heard any rumors, or if it was prepared, it laid a net in the place where it was hiding, waiting for the soul masters who went to crusade against it to take the bait.

Most of the ten-person soul master team is an old soul master with long-term experience in catching ghosts, and most of the traps were cleaned up along the way, although some people lost some soul power during the period, and some people were slightly injured, but with the concerted efforts of everyone, they still touched the old nest of the ghost king, a hidden cave located in the middle of the mountainside, from the outside, the mouth of the cave looks like a secret passage the size of a dog hole, and the soul masters who went to encircle and suppress joined forces to break the soul power confinement at the entrance of the cave, and Yan Lao, who is a soul master, blasted the hole out of a human-shaped passage with brute force. All the soul masters pursued into the cave.

The ghost king Zhan is indeed in the cave, this intelligence officer did not make a mistake in the investigation, but there is not only the existence of the ghost king Zhan in the cave, in addition to the ghost king named Zhan, there are as many as seven large and small ghost-level ghosts, countless ghosts are shouting in the cave, everyone understands, this is not just a ghost king cave, but a large-scale ghost banquet that is being held, and the elite team of ten people looks a little dwarfed in front of the ghost banquet, The powerful soul power emanating from everyone's body was more like a gluttonous feast sent to the door for the ghost banquet, and Yan Lao was the first to react, they were calculated by the ghost king.

There was a huge disparity in strength on the scene, and Elder Yan ordered everyone to evacuate, mainly to save their lives.

But since the ghost king Zhan has set a trap, it is impossible to let the delicious soul sent to his mouth run away like this, the ghost king Zhan attacked with a group of little ghost ghosts, surrounded the ten soul masters who came to encircle and suppress, and trapped them in the cave, and even the only hole leading to the outside was destroyed by a ghost-level ghost with a special soul skill.

Yan Lao did not hesitate, kicked away the ghost that was blocking the entrance of the collapsed cave, and with the powerful soul power, he used the strength of his whole body to continuously bombard the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave, even if the skin on his hand was open, he had to open up another way.

On the other side, the remaining nine people were close to Yan Lao, who opened the way, and guarded Yan Lao in it, resisting soul attacks from all directions.

First of all, countless ghasts attacked everyone one after another, although the strength of ghasts is not very strong, and uneven, but the tigers can't stand the wolves, a few waves down, although the number of ghasts is decreasing sharply, but the nine people guarding are also constantly consuming soul power, there are a few weak soul masters, most of the soul power has been consumed, and the physical strength is almost a little exhausted.

After the ghast attacked, the ghosts and ghost-level revenants ate the dying ghasts scattered around, and then walked in front of the group of soul masters gathered around Yan Lao with a surge of soul power, and they all showed greedy eyes, wanting to eat all the powerful soul power of these soul masters in front of them, maybe the soul power will advance again, the little ghost wants to evolve into a ghost, and the ghost wants to evolve into a ghost king.

At this moment, the boulder blocked at the entrance of the cave was completely shattered by Yan Lao, and the passage was opened again.

Just when everyone was ecstatic because they saw hope, at the entrance of the cave with a little light, another ghost king-level ghost walked in from the entrance of the cave, and everyone recognized the second ghost king present, it is also the perennial reward ghost king yuan hanging on the reward announcement of Qicheng company, it is said that the strength is stronger than the ghost king Zhan, that is the strongest help that the ghost king invited to participate in the ghost banquet and deal with the soul master, the double ghost king banquet, definitely has the strength to make all the soul masters of a branch pour out, now, The ten elite soul masters were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they were already at a loss, and even their last hope was about to be dashed.

Yan Lao did not give up, he is the leader of these people, he is the oldest of all, he doesn't want any accidents in the team he leads, although these people have joined the company and become soul masters, but everyone has their own family behind them, some people have children waiting to be fed at home, some people have old people in their families, some people have wives and husbands who support each other, in his eyes, these people are still very young, and there are a lot of beautiful lives to experience, he wants to protect these lovely juniors, Therefore, Yan Lao only had a short period of loss after seeing Ghost Wang Yuan, and after the loss, what was inspired from his body was the obsession of protecting others, and a powerful soul power gushed out from his body.

Yan Lao's desperate efforts to let everyone be disappointed were soothed, and he fought and retreated, retreating towards the position where the light came in at the entrance of the cave.

Yan Lao can be strong enough to fight the ghost king, but this does not mean that the other soul masters in the team have the same strong strength, the strongest combat power of the company is Mr. Nan Guo, in addition to the board members and a group of branch managers belong to the company's highest-level combat power, and as these soul masters below, few can fight against a powerful ghost king alone, and this staffing is just to deal with a ghost king Zhan, no one expected that there would be a double ghost king banquet here, so when the ghost king Zhan shot, Coupled with the seven ghost-level revenants, an incomparably tragic battle began, although many soul masters resisted desperately, some people fought with their own demon opponents, and some people tried their best to cover the retreat of others, sacrificing themselves to resist the attack of evil ghosts, and when they finally arrived at the entrance of the cave, only three of the nine soul masters behind Yan Lao were barely supported.

Yan Lao saw the fall of those young juniors, and the ghost king Yuan frantically bombarded, and even caused a lot of injuries to the powerful ghost king, but he almost lost his consciousness and fell into the ghost road, fortunately, Qian Po, who was the medical soul master of the Qicheng branch at that time, did not fall, and retreated under the protection of everyone's life, seeing that Yan Lao's situation was not right, he used the medical soul technique heart clearing technique on Yan Lao, and pulled Yan Lao back from the edge of the fallen ghost path, and Uncle Qin Tianjian, who was in the discipline inspection position of the Qicheng branch at the time, used the secret technique Heavenly Soul Breaker, which was banned by the company, and the ghost king died together.

Losing the leadership of the ghost king, none of the ghosts dared to move forward again, and then saw the scene where the ghost Wang Yuan chose to flee as soon as he was seriously injured by Yan Lao, the remaining ghosts and the only three people confronted each other for a long time, and when the reinforcements from the Qicheng branch were about to arrive, those ghost-level and ghost-level ghosts seemed to have detected the taste of danger, and they all scattered and fled.

An elite team of ten soul masters, only three of them are still alive in the end, Yan Lao once blamed himself and wanted to resign from the position of manager, but the company did not agree, but Yan Lao almost no longer manages the size of the company since then, and handed over the decision to the person in charge of each position, and he went to find the traces of the powerful soul when he was fine, especially the seriously injured ghost Wang Yuan, what he wanted to do was revenge.

The surviving Qian Po went into hiding after cultivating Lin Yan, a new soul healer, and no one knew where she went, but she often sent Lin Yan some materials for cultivating and replenishing souls, indicating that this person still existed in heaven and earth.

In the end, the person was from the emergency team of the head office, and when he participated in this mission, he was asked to protect the soul doctor from harm, and he did it, and even was seriously injured while protecting Qian Po, but as soon as he thought of the soul masters who knew him one by one fell in front of him and became distracted, he felt that he was haunted by nightmares, and he could only apply for early retirement on the grounds of ill health, and sought an idle position as an emergency team instructor in the head office.

After the war, this incident not only alarmed the Soul Hunting Company, but even the Soul Master World was quite shocked, in order to commemorate the fallen seven soul masters, the Soul Hunting Corporation used its power, and renamed Xianhe Mountain as Heavenly Soul Mountain with the last Heavenly Soul Break used by Uncle Qin Tianjian, to commemorate those soul master warriors who fought to the death with evil ghosts, to commemorate those heroic souls who sacrificed their lives to protect their teammates, and the source of the matter, Xianhe Castle, was also renamed Heavenly Soul Castle, and a ghost castle that no one dared to ask for was transformed into the current training base, The purpose is to let everyone who wants to step into the soul master realm understand the danger ahead and the determination to sacrifice their lives to move forward.

"My father also participated in that battle, he was one of the seven people who fell, and I have been a single parent since I was a child, my mother died of dystocia after giving birth to me, and my father fell in the war more than ten years ago, I was adopted by Old Man Yan since I was a child, and I grew up in the company, these things are not known how many times I have heard these things in the mouth of the old man Yan, and I will tell you these things today to let you know that the path of the soul master is full of dangers, and you have to be mentally prepared." After Hu Xi finished telling the story, he didn't forget to remind Zhang Su.

Zhang Su could feel the indescribable sadness on Hu Xi's face, and the atmosphere was a little frozen for a while.

"That, Brother Hu Xi, is it too late for me to quit now?" Zhang Su finally broke the frozen atmosphere with a weak tone.

"Huh? Quit? Hu Xi didn't expect Zhang Su to say such a thing, and showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, you told me such a terrible story before I joined the company, big brother, although I worship heroes very much, but I'm afraid of death." Zhang Su said with a frightened expression.

"If you knew that I wouldn't say it, you should have heard nothing, and being a soul master is not so terrifying, you can rest assured." Hu Xi smiled and spoke to Zhang Su as if he was a three-year-old child.

"I said, can you two not ink, stand and be the door god, hurry up and sign up, I'm still waiting to go back." The driver, Brother Xiao Yang, spoke.
