Volume 1: Induction Section 10: Soul Record of the Origin of the Apocalypse

"Xiao Zheng, the next arrangements are up to you."

Director Tang's motivational speech ended, and he waved to the person in a white suit in the audience, and the person known as Xiao Zheng walked quickly from the audience, nodded at Director Tang, and continued to speak in front of the microphone instead of Director Tang.

"Tang Dong said a good job, said the positive voice of everyone, we thank Director Tang, I am the executive officer of this training, my surname is Zheng, my name is Zheng Tianqin, whether it is a newcomer or the leader of each branch, just apply to me for small things, and then I will say something about the schedule of training, I hope you remember it."

This executive named Zheng Tianqin looked to be in his thirties, not much younger than Director Tang, and he spoke with a bit of a creamy tone.

The next training arrangement was the focus for everyone below, and everyone's faces turned to the podium and listened carefully.

"We have a total of sixty-three people in this soul master training, except for seventeen team leaders, there are forty-six newcomers who come to participate in this training, all of them will officially receive training from tomorrow, first of all, centralized training, the training location is in this hall, centralized training is divided into three parts, that is, the three basic steps of becoming a soul master, Kaiyuan, Distraction and Yang God, the team leader is responsible for guiding their own team members to practice these three steps, whoever completes it first, who can leave the centralized training and get the qualification to use the soul building room alone, That is to say, you can practice soul power and soul skills alone, soul power cultivation methods and soul skills cultivation methods can be selected from the Heavenly Soul Pavilion in Room 102 of this Heavenly Soul Castle, the internship training time is three months, as long as you can forge the soul and gather dust and cultivate a soul skill within three months, the soul master internship training is qualified, the company will sign a contract with the qualified soul master, if you don't do it within three months, it will be regarded as unqualified, then it can only be said that you have no chance with the soul master. Zheng Tianqin gave a detailed introduction to the training.

Executive Officer Zheng didn't say much, and after explaining the simple arrangements, he let Zhang Su and these newcomers leave, saying that it was the last day of free activities, and Fan Zengming and Liu Dazhong were left behind as team leaders, which meant that some other arrangements should be conveyed to them, and Zhang Su thought that it should be arranged as a team leader and teacher, so he left first like everyone else.

The newcomer meeting was held for less than half a day, and the next time let Zhang Su have nothing to do, and the Heavenly Soul Fort was also visited, Zhang Su had an idea, that is, a person took a turn on the Heavenly Soul Mountain, although it was late autumn, but the scenery of the Heavenly Soul Mountain was still beautiful, since he came to this Heavenly Soul Mountain, he didn't go to appreciate the creation of nature, and it was too boring to live, not to mention that after the training, I don't know if I could come here, once I returned to the stage framed by the reinforced concrete, once I returned to the sheep that wagged and begged for mercy, Once he returned to the bottom of the well where he could only survive by digging for gold and silver, it made Zhang Su feel that it was difficult to get out of the mud bath, so it was better to take the opportunity to poke his head out of the green algae and green mud to take a look at this natural beauty, and it would not be in vain to come here.

Zhang Su went out of the Heavenly Soul Castle, and the gatekeeper asked Zhang Su where he went, and Zhang Su said that he wanted to go around, but the gatekeeper did not do much to stop him, but only advised Zhang Su to be more careful.

Zhang Su also has no exact goal, that is, wandering, climbing the mountain is his favorite sport in college, after schoolwork, he likes to take a ride to the foot of some scenic spots, and then hike over the mountains and mountains, to experience the sense of conquest of the creation of the world, that feeling is far more pleasant than conquering a lewd villain in the intrigue, so slowly, climbing the mountain has become one of Zhang Su's favorite sports, but after graduation, there is rarely time to participate in various entertainment activities, let alone hiking and mountaineering.

In front of the Heavenly Soul Fort, the slope is relatively gentle, and there are not too many steep places, so the winding mountain road is only winding on the hillside in front of the fort, this kind of climbing is meaningless, even if you climb from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, what you do can only be regarded as a walking race, not a climb, so after Zhang Su turned around the outer wall of the Heavenly Soul Castle, he finally chose to climb up and down behind the Heavenly Soul Castle, that is, on the side of the abandoned pool and golf course, although the cliff slope is not steep and steep. But it can make people have a greater desire to conquer.

Zhang Su did not bring mountaineering equipment in this training, but in Zhang Su's eyes, this slope does not need those equipment, and every distance has a fault supported by a boulder, about two stories high, there are enough footholds between the faults, as long as a little caution, there is no need to worry about any danger, even if it falls from one fault to another, as long as the head does not hit the ground, there will be no big problem, Zhang Su made a judgment on the actual situation based on experience, After confirming that even the worst outcome would not be life-safe, a route was determined to climb up and down.

Zhang Su started with a boulder, grabbed the stone rock that emerged from the mountain, and after confirming that his feet were stable, his figure continued to disappear from the top of the mountain, and after a while, he disappeared.

The first fault, Zhang Su successfully slid down from the top of the mountain to a distance of two floors, and came to a huge rock platform, most of the rock was deeply rooted in the mountain, revealing a fault the size of half an ordinary balcony, this rock is the first foothold of Zhang Su's climbing, under Zhang Su's caution, even if he did not prepare any safety measures, he did not encounter any danger.

In addition to the good scenery, this mountain is also very strong, even the small stones embedded in the mountain can be so tightly fitted, there is no loosening under Zhang Su's climbing, which shows the difficulty of the construction of the Heavenly Soul Fort and the stability of the foundation after construction.

In this way, Zhang Su continued to march towards the second and third faults, and they all climbed down smoothly without any accidents.

Heavenly Soul Mountain is about three hundred meters, so that there are forty or fifty faults of seven or eight meters, Zhang Su climbed down one by one, in less than an hour, Zhang Su climbed to the twenty-third fault, the figure is just halfway up the mountainside, Zhang Su is ready to take a break, lying on the fault rock, looking at the foot of the steep back mountain from a distance, there are some ancient stone huts, straw stacks of sheds, like an ancient village, but there is no figure in sight.

After the advent of the new era, some poor mountainous areas or villages were renovated or relocated as a whole, and the descendants left for school, and the population continued to pour into the city, and the people in this kind of village would disappear.

This stone village was not requisitioned by "art", it was lonely, deserted at the foot of the mountain, although it was built along the stream, but it could not last as long as living water, but a few verdant trees fed by the water vapor of the stream had grown to a towering dense without pruning, and the powerful rhizomes overturned most of the houses beside them, like trees telling the stones that the most fragile living things were stronger than the hard dead things.

Zhang Su suddenly had a little more impulse, wanting to climb down the mountain to see the abandoned ancient village, to see how nature took over the dregs abandoned by humans, maybe without man, the master of all spirits, life might once again contend.

As the impulsive thoughts intensified in Zhang's mind, Zhang accelerated his climb to the bottom of the mountain, and in a shorter time than before, Zhang fell to the foot of the mountain, which was also an abandoned stone village.

At noon, the stone village looks particularly bright under the sunlight, except for a few big trees like parasols to maintain some shaded existence, the stone grinding disc and other utensils left in the village have gathered some residual temperature of the sun, and when you touch it, you will feel a warm current flowing into your body, and the comfort invades your heart and spleen.

Zhang Su recalled the barren ghost villages he watched on TV, the villages and houses were covered with green moss plants, which were a bit similar to the abandoned factories of the Qicheng Soul Hunting Branch, all of which were gloomy and lonely, full of ghosts, but this unknown stone village was different, although the stream village had been there, there was no such phenomenon of damp green plants devouring the entire village, but more of a weeds and plants with big branches and leaves, without a sense of seclusion, which made Zhang Su brave to wander around the village, He even went into some houses with or without doors to look around to see how people lived in these leaky houses.

Most of the houses are piled up with irregular large stones, and some mud that is easy to peel off is coated between the stones, and they can't be tightly fitted, so when the sun shines, even if the house has no windows, it is also bright and transparent, even if it is far away, you can see at a glance all kinds of daily necessities left in the house, what meadow beds, cracked stoves, left rice tanks, water tanks, iron nails nailed on the walls and hanging scoops, many things have been deformed after years of washing, But Zhang Su saw these things with a sense of age in his hometown when he was a child, and he could recognize some of them.

Zhang Su entered the room, and looked carefully, there was basically a thick layer of dust on the bed, and there was a layer of dark gray ash under some stoves, and the wooden lid of the rice bowl was like a cake that had been gnawed by a blind man, and there were many crescent-shaped openings, and the marks on it should have been eaten by mice, and there was no longer a grain of rice in the rice tank, but there were a few more mutilated mice and sparrow corpses, and the sparrows should be the poisonous hands of the bad mice, and the rats, greedily grabbing the decreasing grain in the rice tank, were stuck at the bottom of the tank and could not climb up, In the end, he was trapped inside.

Judging from the traces left by the village, it is likely that the village was relocated collectively at the same time, if not at the same time, the time should be about the same, because the degree of abandonment of each house is about the same, and none of the houses have traces of being looted or moved those living utensils, which can partly prove the possibility of Zhang's hypothesis.

If the villagers of this village disappear one after another, it means that someone went to the city to gain fame or work, causing the people of the village to go clean, if they disappear at the same time, then there are two possibilities, one is that the village has encountered a major change, such as a war or other dangers, and someone needs to lead the whole village to move out; There is also a kind of village wants better development, the leader with the consent of all the villagers to relocate collectively, and finally develop in other areas, Zhang Su does not know what happened to this village at that time, but he just thinks that the village is close to the mountains and rivers, such a good place to leave, there will definitely be people reluctant to give up.

Zhang Su walked on the village path, starting from the side of the mountain, straight through the village, through the stream flowing through the village, to the last house, this family is the only one built on the other side of the stream, with a small wooden bridge and other houses connected, although from the appearance of the house is no different from other houses, but this family's house actually has a wooden door that looks very strong, and the door also has a bronze lock with a flat carved pattern from the outside, but the pattern has long been unclear, The copper lock shines in the sun.

The other fifteen houses in the village either had their doors open or their wooden doors closed lightly, and none of them had locked, but this one was the only one who had built their houses on the other side of the stream, and fastened their doors with copper locks when they left.

Zhang Su thought about it, did not immediately unlock and push the door, since the owner of the house obviously wants to explore the door, then maybe there will be more protective measures, first check from the side of the house to see if there are small holes and small cracks to see the inside of the house, and then confirm that there are no traps and then enter the house, so that you can protect yourself from accidents to the greatest extent.

After making a simple plan, Zhang Su set out to act, and he made a circle around this special house, carefully stepping on every step, carefully probing the mud-tamped walls, trying to find the crevices that could penetrate the light, and probe the situation inside.

Zhang Su circled the house twice, and finally returned to the door again, only to find that there was not a single crack around the wall, not only the gap, but even the stone was covered with layers of mud putty, like an isolated secret room.

Since he couldn't judge from the outside, Zhang Su didn't intend to suppress his curiosity, and decided to carefully try to see if he could open the copper lock and go into the house to find out what kind of treasure could make the owner of the house so secret.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Su touched the copper lock, the entire wooden door was connected by the copper lock that was locked because of too many years and too much corrosion, and collapsed towards the room, and the rumbling sound came out, bringing up the dust that had been deposited on the ground for a long time, and Zhang Su was shocked to retreat again and again.

Zhang Su looked cautiously at a distance of four or five meters from the door, for fear that some beasts and monsters would emerge in the house, after all, this is located in the deep mountains, and it is a common setting about the birthplace in the stories of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and Zhang Su doesn't know if this setting is because of conjecture or if this kind of thing has really happened.

Wait until the door panel is no longer shaking, quietly spread on the ground, the stirred dust gradually settled, Zhang Su bounced away the dust floating in front of him, stared into the house, and did not find anything strange out, Zhang Su quietly looked at the house that had just penetrated the light, and looked at the door from the outside, the layout and placement of items inside were not much different from those other houses, Zhang Su slowly leaned forward, walked to the door of the house, stepped on the door of the house that fell to the ground, and poked his head inside, Finding that there were not many strange things in the whole room, the same beds, stoves, and rice bowls were as old as those he had seen before, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his nose, and felt that he was a false alarm.

"The person who feels this family is a stingy man, and when he leaves, he is still greedy for the garbage in the house, and to be honest, the utensils in this house are not as valuable as the copper lock on the door." Zhang Su felt like he had been tricked, and complained like this.

Zhang Su took a cursory look, found that there was nothing strange in the house, so he planned to return the same way, from the beginning of his own descent to now almost three hours have passed, if you don't hurry back, wait until the sun sets, climbing the mountain is easy to have accidents due to vision, and if you continue to play, you may be trapped at the foot of this mountain.

Just when Zhang Su was about to turn his head and leave, in the ash trough under the stove, a thing revealed a snow-white corner under the sunlight, and it was also the only one in this yellowed house that was not very harmonious, Zhang Su approached the stove, reached out and pinched the snow-white corner, and pulled it out of the ashes, only to find that it was a white jade piece, the size of the jade piece, the shape is similar to a tile, milky white, delicate and moisturizing, rich and mellow, it can be seen that it is a good white jade, Zhang Su took it out of the house, White jade glows like grease in the sun.

Zhang Su is very happy, the purpose of his coming here is not to hunt for treasure, but to play and explore, to pick up the treasure is naturally very happy, although Zhang Su does not understand jade, but has planned to take it to find a price for people's shares, maybe even if he does not go to work to find a job, but with this jade can eat for a while.

Just when Zhang Su was excited, the sunlight revealed a few small hollow handwriting from the middle of the jade tile, the handwriting was very small, but when Zhang Su brought it close to his eyes, the handwriting could still be seen clearly, there were not many words, only five, and it was written: Yuan Tianqi Soul Record.
