Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Banquet by Mistake Section 64: Zhong Tianli
After eating, Zhang Su paid for the meal as agreed, Hu Xi did not compete, and rode for half an hour, happily rushed to the company with Zhang Su, I haven't seen him for a few months, the company is still as deserted as when Zhang Su first came to the interview, except for three or two soul masters who can't name Zhang Su, who took the reward and left, almost no one will stay in the company longer, and only those cadres who are in charge of various departments are resident in the company.
"Old man Yan should be in the office." Hu Xi reminded.
"Won't you come with me? After hiding for so long, I was afraid that Yan Lao would scold me as soon as he came up. Zhang said weakly.
"Old man Yan doesn't have that mind, and some people don't come to the company for a long time to receive rewards because of personal matters, which is not a big problem." Hu Xi replied.
"Didn't Elder Yan send you to me? How? Aren't you going to make a business? Zhang Su continued to ask.
"If you go to my errand, it's over, so I don't need to go on another run, I still have some things to deal with, and I have to deal with it before I get off work." Hu Xi said with a smile.
Zhang Su understood what Hu Xi meant, and didn't say anything more, raised his feet and climbed the stairs and walked towards Yan Huishan's office.
Knock knock, Zhang Su walked to Yan Huishan's office on the third floor and knocked lightly on the door with his hand.
"Who?" The door of Yan Hunshan's office was not closed tightly, leaking a finger-wide gap, and a vigorous and powerful voice came out from inside, asking.
"I, Zhang Su." Zhang Su didn't push the door open immediately, and responded outside the door.
"I think the boy is here, come in." Yan Hunshan still responded with his vigorous and powerful voice, and there was no special emotion in his tone.
Zhang Su gently pushed open the door of Yan Hunshan's office, walked in slowly, and saw that Yan Hunshan was holding the barbell made of a combination of wooden poles and stone plates with one hand bare-chested, holding them up and down, the two stone plates were the size of wheels, each of which looked half a foot thick, although Zhang Su had not weighed it, but the weight was not very light, at least the weight that he might not be able to lift with all his strength.
"Elder Yan exercises." Zhang Su said hello.
"No, it's just boring to relieve boredom, the old bones are not good, and I'm a little tired after just lifting two hundred or so times." Yan Huishan said lightly.
When Zhang Su heard Yan Huishan's answer, his eyelids jumped, if others talked like this, Zhang Su would regard it as a shameless show-off, but Yan Huishan blurted out that it was due to strength, but it still made Zhang Su a little speechless.
"Since you are out of the customs, it means that you are out of the predicament, it seems that Hu Xiaozi is really skillful." Yan Hunshan put down the stone plate barbell, picked up a pale yellow towel from the handle of the stone grinding plate next to him, and wiped the sweat on his body.
"Elder Yan said with a smile, it's not a matter of getting out of the customs, it's just a shrunken turtle for a few days." Zhang Wei replied with a wry smile.
"Being a turtle is good, it means that you have found a shell for yourself, and with this shell, you will be more stable in the future." Yan Hunshan responded with a smile.
"Shell? I understand, thank you Yan Lao for mentioning it. Zhang Su didn't react at first, thinking that Yan Hunshan was scolding him when he said that he was a turtle, but after a while, he thought about it carefully, Yan Hunshan shouldn't have meant that, Yan Hunshan's so-called "shell" should refer to a person's self-protection consciousness after understanding fear, and with a sense of danger, he will not be as reckless as before.
"Just understand, you can lift the barbell over there." Yan Hunshan motioned for Zhang Su to lift the stone plate barbell he had just lifted.
"Huh?" Zhang looked at Yan Huishan in confusion, showing a surprised expression.
"If you want to try it, you will try it." Yan Hunshan urged.
Zhang Su saw that Yan Hunshan was a little impatient, he knew that Yan Hunshan's move must have some special significance, so he ran to the place where Yan Hunshan put the barbell in small steps, put it on the barbell pole with two hands, and did the same posture as a weightlifter, his legs were half squatting, his hands were holding the barbell tightly, his arm muscles were tight, his waist and abdomen were strong, and he riveted his strength to lift the barbell upward, wanting to lift the barbell above his head like Yan Hunshan, but even if Zhang Su used the strength to eat, the barbell was at most a little finger distance from the ground, wants to pull up further, Zhang Su has no follow-up strength.
Losing the maintenance of explosive power, Zhang Su's strength can no longer support the weight of the barbell, and after a while, the barbell fell to the floor, and two grooves of similar size were smashed out of the old wooden floor.
"I'm sorry, Elder Yan, I missed." Hearing the sound of the barbell hitting the floor, Zhang Su knew that he had not only failed, but also caused damage to Yan Huishan's floor, and said ashamedly.
"It's normal to miss, because you don't have a clear understanding of your own strength, no matter what you do, you can't do it naturally, there will naturally be a miss, I know that you have feelings of revenge for Lu Sen in your heart, I don't intend to stop you from taking revenge, on the contrary, I like people who are bloody and friendly, but before revenge, you have to know how many pounds and taels you have." Yan Hunshan reminded Zhang Su.
"Well, I see, that, Elder Yan, can I try this barbell again?" Zhang Su pointed to the barbell in front of him, then scratched his head and asked.
"Try again?" Yan Hunshan squinted his eyes and asked.
"Well, I'd like to test my pounds again." Zhang Su replied.
"Yes." Yan Hunshan didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, so he didn't object.
Zhang Su turned on the Xuanti mode of the Yuantian Xuanti directly, others couldn't see any changes in Zhang Su's body from the appearance, only Zhang Su himself could feel the increase in strength, Zhang Su's next action directly made Yan Hunshan a little dumbfounded, under the blessing of the Yuantian Xuanti, Zhang Su held the barbell with one hand, and slowly lifted the barbell that he couldn't lift just now, and then suddenly exerted force, and the barbell was lifted over the top of his head by Zhang Su, although from the expression of Zhang Su, it was also a little difficult, But what can't be ignored is that the 100-pound barbell was really lifted by Zhang Su with one hand, even if the body soul technique is turned on, there are only two people in the company who can do this kind of thing, one is Yan Hunshan, the other is the financial Gu Yantang, and now Zhang Su is the third.
After lifting it above his head, Zhang Su held on for a short time and then gently put the barbell back on the ground, and then smiled at Yan Hunshan, saying that he had finished trying.
"Body Soul Technique?" Although the Yuantian Xuan Body used by Zhang Su was different from the possession form of ordinary body soul skills, Yan Hunshan was a major in body soul skills, so he naturally saw some clues.
"Hmm." Zhang Su did not hide it, this kind of move he used in the rookie battle during the rookie training, and it was already semi-public, and there was no need to hide it.
"It's amazing, it's the first time I've seen a body soul technique that doesn't require soul possession." Yan Hunshan exclaimed, frowning and thinking about the principle of Zhang Su's body soul technique.
"It's just a matter of being ugly." Zhang Su replied modestly.
Yan Huishan looked at Zhang Su, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, what he cultivated was the tenth-order body soul technique "Ten Breath Altar", and its power could already cross the soul master realm in the state of Dacheng, but the body soul technique that Zhang Su used with his weak body just now actually increased his own strength several times or even dozens of times, which was obviously something that the "Ten Breath Altar" could not do, and he suddenly felt that Zhang Su had some inexplicable mysterious taste.
Seeing that Yan Hunshan was silent, Zhang Su didn't want to be too disturbed, he had other purposes, and it was not convenient to waste time in Yan Hunshan, so he whispered to the thoughtful Yan Hunshan: "Elder Yan, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do?" β
Yan Hunshan heard Zhang Su speak, came back from his contemplation, glanced at Zhang Su a few more times, and then nodded.
Zhang Su left Yan Hunshan's manager's office, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard a slight cat meow in the house, which should be the voice of Black Bean, and then heard the conversation between Yan Hunshan and Black Bean.
Yan Hunshan: "Do you understand?" β
Black Bean: "Well, if I'm not mistaken, his body soul technique should have changed the soul space in his body. β
Yan Hunshan: "The soul space that changes the body? Ancient Body Soul Technique? β
Black Bean: "It's hard to say, although the ancient body soul technique that can change the soul space is powerful, it will also cause a lot of load on the body, but I think the kid's body soul skill did not cause a load on the body when it was performed, so it is really possible that it is a new type of body soul skill that he inadvertently created, or the legendary source heavenly body soul skill." β
Yan Hunshan sighed: "If that's the case, then his future is limitless." β
Zhang Su didn't continue to listen, he walked towards the second floor of the Soul Hunting Company, the purpose of his visit this time was to find Zhong Tianli to ask for the key to the company's storeroom, so as to find some information about "Yuantian", because according to Hu Xi, some old books in the company's storeroom do have the word "Yuantian" on them.
On the second floor of the company's tower, a ping-pong sound came from the depths of the corridor, where was Zhong Tianli's R&D room, it is said that it was the most dangerous place in the company, and there were several explosions, but because the room was special, the explosion only caused partial damage to the research room, and did not cause irreparable losses to the company, so as long as it was an ordinary soul master, no one would run to the research room without anything special.
After Zhang Su came to the company, he only looked for Zhong Tianli once, or because Hu Xi temporarily entrusted him to deliver a box lunch to Zhong Tianli's room, so he already knew where Zhong Tianli's room was located from that time, but that time Zhong Tianli was in the inner room of the research room with the door closed, as if he was in retreat and researching something, Zhang Su failed to see Zhong Tianli himself, so this time Zhang Su was trembling but full of expectations for finding Zhong Tianli.
Just when Zhang Su was about to walk to the door of Zhong Tianli's house, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, and Zhong Tianli's iron house door flew out in front of Zhang Su, smashing the wood-framed glass window opposite the door, and a huge iron door flew out of the company tower and fell into the yard of another abandoned factory.
The iron gate flew out grazing the tip of Zhang Su's nose, and if Zhang Su took another half step forward at that time, he was likely to be smashed out of the building by the iron gate that flew out, and he might not only fall in the courtyard, but also Zhang Su, who was seriously injured.
Zhang Su was shocked by the iron door that flew out, and when the iron door landed, Zhang Su reacted, Zhong Tianli's research room exploded again, and he hurriedly leaned on the wall skirt outside the door of the research and development room, and covered his rapidly beating heart in fear, revealing a frightened look.
"Who's coming for me? The doors are gone, come in. Just as Zhang Su's body was about to slide off the skirt of the wall to the ground, an old and loud voice came from the research room.
"Bell... Bell... Senior Zhong, it's me... I... I'm Zhang Su, you... What are you doing all the time? Zhang Su rolled over and leaned against the wall, his head carefully stuck into the door frame, his eyes cautiously looking inside, and his mouth stammered.
"Zhang Su, I remember you, you also brought me a meal, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? The speaker was a bald little old man with a very short head and almost no hair, and asked Zhang Su casually, obviously this person was Zhong Tianli.
"There's... Something. Zhang Su still stammered and replied.
"What? It turns out that you are a stammer, no wonder you left without saying a word when you brought me food last time, by the way, I have already given Hu Xi the reward for your food, three yuan at a time, if you want money, go to him and ask for it. Zhong Tian left the road.
Hearing Zhong Tianli speak, Zhang Su suppressed the panic in his heart, walked into Zhong Tianli's research room, looked at Zhong Tianli with a little anger, and complained in his mouth: "I'm not stammering, that Zhong senior, although I don't know what you were doing just now, but the explosion just now almost killed me, fortunately, my life is big, my stutter just now was scared by you." β
"Hey, it turns out that you're not stammering, so why don't you talk well, so I misunderstood." Zhong Tianli didn't answer Zhang Tianli's words at all, and asked suspiciously while smiling.
Zhang Su knew at a glance that Zhong Tianli was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he was not very serious about an old man in his seventies, so he could only explain the purpose of his trip first: "Okay, blame me for not talking well, I didn't ask you for the last errand fee, I just heard that the key to our company's storeroom is here in your old place, and I want to go to the storeroom to find something." β
"What are you looking for in that messy place? It's all useless, except for some of my R&Ds. Zhong Tianli asked.
"Find some old books, you always know that I haven't been in the Soul Master Realm for a long time, so I want to find some knowledge about the Soul Master Realm to enrich myself." Zhang Su explained.
"Well, it's true that there are some such books there, but in the eyes of my old fellow, those are just some chicken ribs, and many of the contents are like myths and legends made up by the ancients as a soul master, and they don't have much value." Zhong Tianli analyzed.
"I want to create my own soul skills, so I need to find some inspiration from them." Zhang Zhen turned his mind and explained.
Zhong Tianli looked at Zhang Su, took off a bunch of keys from behind his waist, removed one of the key rings, took out two keys and threw them to Zhang Su, and said to Zhang Su: "It's okay to go, but don't touch my half-finished Horcruxes, there are a few Horcruxes that are in the stage of gestation, and you can't afford to pay for them." β
"Pregnant spirits?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Don't you understand? It's brewing to generate a machine spirit.,It's very complicated, I won't explain it to you.,As long as you don't use soul power to attack or interfere with them, it's fine.,Naturally.,If the Horcrux breeds the machine spirit, then this Horcrux is comparable to the ancient Horcrux.,If the gestation fails,The spirit dissipates.,The Horcrux will be classified as low.γMedium.γUpper three grades according to its ability.γ Zhong Tianli explained.
"What if I interfere with the machine spirit's conception?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Then there will be a death spirit or a ghost in the Horcrux, the death spirit will make the Horcrux completely incapacitated and abolished, and the appearance of the ghost will make the Horcrux become a ghost weapon, similar to a revenant ghost in the Horcrux, once the soul master uses it, it will be counterattacked, and even the soul of the soul master will be sucked into the ghost weapon, and the soul of the soul master will become the nourishment of the ghost weapon." Zhong Tianli explained.
"No, the explosion just now is ......" Zhang Su remembered that the explosion in the laboratory was mostly caused by the failure of the experiment, and then linked to the explosion in Zhong Tianli's research room just now, the first possibility that Zhang Su thought of was that the research of Horcruxes failed, and the ghost weapon was the product of failure.
"Well, I just got into a fight with an intermediate-level imp-level ghost, and I smashed it to pieces." Zhong Tianli replied lightly.
Zhang Su suddenly respected Zhong Tianli in his heart, the middle-level ghost is equivalent to the existence of an intermediate soul king, and he can easily smash an intermediate soul king, this old man who doesn't look tall should have a strength no less than the soul ancestor level, which is enough to make the current Zhang Su look up.
"I'll pay attention, the things of the old Zhong seniors won't be touched by the juniors." Zhang Zhen seriously assured.
"Uh-huh, go ahead, remember to close the door and return the key." Zhong Tianli reminded.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Zhong, where is that storeroom?" Zhang Su suddenly remembered that although he had asked for the key, he didn't know the location of the storage room, so he asked softly.
"It's next door to my house, the first room to turn left when you go out, the one with the aluminum fence door." Zhong Tianli prompted.
"Next door? Aluminum fence gates? Zhang Su thought about it, didn't Zhong Tianli say that it was the room next to the research room, and that the storage room was the room next to Zhong Tianli's research room, so close to Zhong Tianli and made so many instructions, Zhang Su could only smile helplessly.
Zhang Su stopped chatting with Zhong Tianli, walked out of Zhong Tianli's research room in a few steps, and turned a corner to the door of the next room, opened the first aluminum door and the second wooden door of the storage room with the two keys given by Zhong Tianli, and pushed the door into the storage room.
As soon as he entered the storage room, Zhang Su inspected it with excitement, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Zhang Su's eyes widened in surprise, because the first thing Zhang Su saw was nothing else, but the figure of Zhong Tianli, who had met a few seconds ago, stood inexplicably in front of him, looking at Zhang Su with a smile.
"Senior Zhong, how did you get here first?" Zhang asked in surprise.
"Oh, there's a door between my research room and this storage room, it's the same, I'm still afraid that you'll damage my Horcrux, so I don't have to worry about coming and seeing." Zhong Tianli replied.
After listening to Zhong Tianli's words, Zhang Su covered his head depressedly, and almost opened his mouth to scold his mother.
