Chapter 6: Second Requirement

During the training of the Soul Army, Gu Du asked a lot of questions, and although Hu Yu was cold-mouthed, he answered in great detail.

The Spirit Emperor Continent is about 4,000 miles long from north to south, and about 5,000 miles from east to west, and the Spirit Emperor Palace is directly south of the continent, occupying a rich land, while in the barren and bitter cold land in the east, north, and west directions, there are many mobs who do not follow the religion, these people believe in evil spirits and are the enemies of the Spirit Emperor.

The soul master has been around for a long time, but there are not many people who can really become the soul master, Hu Yan said, don't think that becoming a child servant will definitely become a soul master, if you want to become a soul master, you not only need to practice hard, but also have the corresponding talent.

Some people have been child attendants for a lifetime, some people died violently while cultivating, and some people reluctantly became soul masters, but because their mental power was not strong enough, they exhausted their primordial spirits and died when they commanded the soul army.

There are three levels of soul masters, from low to high, in order of white robes, yellow robes, and black robes.

Theoretically speaking, the white-robed soul master can command a hundred soul troops, the yellow-robed soul master can command three hundred soul troops, and the black-robed soul master can command five hundred soul troops.

But the actual situation is not quite the same, for example, their soul master Chu Qin is an extremely talented soul master, although he is a yellow robe, he can command nearly four hundred soul troops, plus today's nine, it is more than four hundred.

Chu Qin is the third son of Chu Huaizhong, the first seat of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who participated in the selection to become a child servant ten years ago, and was promoted to the white-robed soul master nine years ago, and the yellow-robed soul master eight years ago.

Originally, Chu Qin did not need to participate in the audition, but Chu Qin insisted on participating in the audition, and it is said that the number of single cages in that year was as high as 37.

And the title of soul master means that after the death of the child servant, he will also become the soul army of the soul master.

After asking these questions, Gu Du asked again, "Senior Brother Hu, which session are you from?" ”

Hu Yan replied: "Last term." ”

Gu Du asked again: "How many people were in the single cage last time?" ”

Hu Yan replied, "Two or three people." ”

In the last session, that is, the year when Gu Du had a fever, the mob invaded the border, the border army suffered heavy casualties, and six or seven out of ten of the rear troops were transferred to the border to enrich the border army, so the military and political department recruited troops on a large scale, except for those who wanted to become soul masters, most of them joined the army, so the cage fight of that session was basically a one-on-one duel.

Gu Du's heart was cold, he was really glad that he had a fever that year, otherwise it would be a death to participate, just with a child like bean sprouts like him, it is estimated that he doesn't need a dagger, and he will kick people to death.

At the end of the exercise, all the soul troops turned into tadpole-like gray and white balls and flew into the air, Hu Yu told Gu Du that the soul army was under the control of the high priest, and it was not clear how to manage it, and every night for an hour of practice, the new soul army would be issued to the corresponding soul master marker, just like tonight.

Back in the small building, Chu Qin hadn't gone to bed yet, sitting on the couch and meditating, Shangguan He accompanied him, the two came in, bowed and said, "Soul Master, the disciple is back." ”

Gu Du was just about to bow down to speak, Hu Yan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to repeat, Gu Du just bowed down and didn't speak.

Chu Qin didn't open his eyes and asked, "Gu Du, tonight is the first time you have practiced the Soul Army, how do you feel?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The disciple was scared at first, and then he was not afraid, but he didn't feel anything. ”

Chu Qin said, "It's okay. ”

Hu Yan bowed and saluted, then turned around and walked away, but Gu Du bowed and said, "Soul Master, can the disciple make a second request?" ”

Chu Qin opened his eyes, looked at him and replied, "Yes." ”

Gu Du said: "The disciple wants to become a soul master. ”

Chu Qin said: "I can't do this, whether you can become a soul master or not depends mainly on your talent, let's change it." ”

Gu Du said: "The disciple is wrong, the disciple wants to ask the soul master to guide the disciple and teach the disciple. ”

Shangguan He said in a disdainful tone: "You are also too anxious, becoming a child servant is itself cultivating with the soul master, can the soul master not guide you and teach you?" It's only been a day, do you want to sleep and become a soul master? ”

Gu Du lowered his head and replied: "The disciple doesn't mean this, the disciple is stupid, but it is definitely not the meaning." ”

Shangguan He snorted lightly, and Chu Qin said, "Shangguan He, do I need you to speak for me?" ”

Shangguan He was stunned for a moment, pouted and lowered his head.

Chu Qin said: "Gu Du, slap the mouth of the official ten times." ”

The two of them were stunned at the same time, and Shangguan He hesitated and said aggrievedly: "Soul Master, the disciple didn't say anything wrong, he is just too anxious, why do you want to slap the disciple's mouth?" ”

Chu Qin said: "Fifteen times." ”

Shangguan He froze, Gu Du walked in front of Shangguan He, bowed first, and said, "Senior Sister Shangguan......"

"Get out of here!" Shangguan He kicked Gu Du down, glared at Gu Du in disgust, and then looked at Chu Qin with tears in his eyes.

Chu Qin said, "Twenty times." ”

Shangguan He's tears flowed out, Gu Du got up and said, "Senior sister, stop talking, I'm offended." ”

Gu Du opened his bow left and right, slapped Shangguan He's twenty mouths, and hit Shangguan He's cheeks swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, Shangguan He endured it and didn't say a word.

Chu Qin said: "Go wash it up, and then find Hu Yan to apply painkillers." ”

"Yes." Shangguan He bowed down and agreed, turned around and left.

Chu Qin asked, "Gu Du, do you know why I want to slap her mouth." ”

Gu Du replied, "Senior Sister Shangguan shouldn't speak for the Soul Master. ”

Chu Qin asked again, "Then is she wrong?" ”

Gu Du hesitated for a moment before replying, "That's right, it's the disciple who is stupid and didn't make his words clear." ”

Chu Qin asked again: "Since you think she is right, why do you still slap her mouth?" ”

Gu Du was a little confused, but he still replied intuitively: "The soul master is the master of the disciple, and the disciple must obey the orders of the soul master. ”

Chu Qin said: "Good answer, although you didn't make it clear, but I understand what you mean, you want me to teach you as a soul master, not an ordinary child waiter, it is she who doesn't understand what you mean, but she is self-righteous and talkative." ”

Gu Du lowered his head and replied, "Yes." ”

Chu Qin asked, "Do you know that becoming a soul master is not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The disciple knows that Senior Brother Hu has already explained to the disciple that the disciple is willing to try to the death. ”

Chu Qin stood up and said, "Follow me." ”

followed Chu Qin to the study on the right, Chu Qin took out a small wooden sign one inch square from the lacquer box on the bookshelf, wrote a word on it with his finger, and then handed it to Gu Du, saying, "If you can see the words on it, come and tell me again." ”
