Chapter 5: The Soul Army

Early the next morning, Hu Tan took Gu Du to find Commander Yu, asked for a team of palace guards, and then rode out of the Linghuang Palace on a high-headed horse.

Today, Gu Du put on a yellow robe, although he felt a little awkward when he looked in the mirror, but at this time, sitting on a horse, walking in front of the team, enjoying the envious and awe-inspiring eyes of the people, the little awkwardness in his heart had long disappeared.

Bitter Wine Street, as noisy and dirty as ever, when the horse team appeared at the corner of the street, the vendors on both sides of the street panicked to pack up their things.

Everyone was panicked, because there were very few officers and soldiers coming from Kujiu Street, let alone palace guards wearing gold armor and looking like gods.

Gu Du reined in his horse and said to Hu Yan: "Senior Brother Hu, the folks here, except for those little gangsters, everyone else is very good to me, can we get off the horse and walk in?" lest they knock over their stalls. ”

"Okay." Hu Yan was like Chu Qin, only answered one word, and then turned over and dismounted.

As soon as he got off the horse, the palace guards behind him all dismounted, Gu Du was a little surprised, surprised by this kind of cooperation without communication, he didn't know that the Imperial Soul Division was a very powerful yamen, and he didn't dare to imagine that it was himself, and now he also had the right of life and death in his hands.

The street chief trotted over, and when he saw Gu Du clearly, the street chief fell, fell face down on the ground, and then quickly stood up, but did not stand up again, but knelt on the ground, kneeled to the front, and kept kowtowing to Gu Du, kowtowing while saying: "The villain deserves ten thousand deaths, sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and sin deserves ten thousand deaths......

In an instant, Gu Du seemed to understand something, and the hatred in his heart quickly melted away like the remnants of snow in the peach moon.

He is no longer the beggar who cowered in the corner in the cold moon, grabbing food with the dogs.

He is no longer the poor man who is chased and beaten by thugs all over the street and ridiculed by others.

He is no longer a little rabbit cub who is called by the street chief on a snowy night to drink and cook wine and add firewood.

He is now a yellow-robed boy servant of the Imperial Soul Division, as long as he says a word, he can cut the corpse of the street chief in front of him who kowtows like pounding garlic!

Hu Yan squinted at Gu Du and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, why is he like this?" ”

The street chief suddenly lost his voice, and fell to the ground trembling.

Gu Duyouran's heart swelled for a while, his eyes were wet, and he sniffed before saying, "Anyway, he let me stay by the stove, and I didn't freeze my hands and feet, Senior Brother Hu, I'm ...... It's no longer an orphan on Bitter Wine Street. ”

Hu Yan replied flatly: "Hmm." ”

Gu Du said again: "There is Senior Brother Laohu, let's ...... Go back, right? ”

Hu Tan didn't respond again, turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and a team of palace guards also got on the horse, Gu Du hurriedly got on the horse, chased after Hu Tan, and heard the street chief shouting behind him with a crying voice: "Thank you Lord Gu for not killing!" ”

At night, Chu Qin stood in the courtyard, his feet slightly open, his hands folded in front of his abdomen, and his eyes closed. Hu Yan and Shangguan He stood behind Chu Qin on the left and right sides respectively, both standing with their hands down.

Gu Du could only stand at the back and align with Chu Qin.

After standing for half an hour, Chu Qin suddenly asked, "Gu Du, have you ever seen a ghost?" ”

Gu Du was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "No." ”

Chu Qin said again: "Don't be afraid. ”

Before Gu Du could react to what he meant, he suddenly saw nine black shadows flying from a distance, and in an instant, they came close to the front, revolving around the four of them in mid-air.

Gu Du's eyes widened, these nine black shadows were very similar to the shape of a human being, and then thinking of what Chu Qin had just said, Gu Du suddenly reacted, this is a ghost!

Since it's a soul master, it must have something to do with ghosts.

Chu Qin raised his hands, his palms lit up with a yellow-colored shimmer, and the nine black shadows were wrapped in a yellow-colored shimmer, gradually quieted down, and stood in a row in front of Chu Qin.

Chu Qin lowered his arms, folded his hands in front of his stomach again, and asked, "Gu Du, why are you standing there?" ”

Gu Du was a little dazed, and replied truthfully: "The disciple has no place to stand, so he can only stand here." ”

Shangguan He glared back at him, then turned his head back.

Chu Qin said: "The yard is so big, why are you standing there?" ”

Gu Du replied, "The disciple thinks it's more appropriate to stand here. ”

Chu Qin said: "You don't have to pursue perfection and symmetry in everything, many things in this world are imperfect and asymmetrical, you stand there, your vision is blocked, not to mention subtle things, even behemoths, you can't see clearly." Stand to the right of Shangguan He. ”

"Yes." Gu Du agreed, walked to Shangguan He's right and stood up.

Shangguan He glared at him with slanted eyes again.

The light on the nine ghosts became brighter and brighter, and gradually revealed their appearances, and Gu Du was shocked to find that these nine ghosts were the nine people who fought with him in the same cage!

Chu Qin said: "The Imperial Soul Division, like the Military and Political Division, is the military force of the Spirit Emperor, and those who voluntarily participate in the selection of the child servant, at the moment of signing the document, they will become the personal soldiers of the Spirit Emperor, the living are the child servants, and the dead are the soul army, and they are jointly loyal to the Spirit Emperor and guard the territory, and the duty of the soul master is to command the soul army." ”

After a pause, Chu Qin said again: "The soul army is the same as the army of the living, it needs to be trained, the army drills during the day, the soul army drills at night, and the main duty of the child servant is to train the soul army on behalf of the soul master." ”

After Chu Qin finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the door, Shangguan He followed and turned around, Chu Qin stopped and looked back, looking at Shangguan He, Shangguan He said: "The disciple serves the soul master and sleeps." ”

Chu Qin didn't speak, turned his head and walked into the door, and Shangguan He followed in with a smile.

Hu Yan said: "Come with me." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the courtyard gate, and the nine ghosts turned around together, their miserable faces were covered with yellow light, indescribably weird, Gu Du's back was cold, and he hurriedly caught up with Hu Yan, and followed Hu Yan step by step.

On the school ground, the ghosts of the black pressure lined up to practice, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and most of the new children's attendants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their whole bodies trembled, compared to Gu Du, he was relatively calm.

The reason why it is said to be more calm is because there are people who are more calm than him, that is Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan became a child attendant from the priest, Chu Qin chose Gu Du first, and Meng Yuan from the priest.

Maybe it was because Meng Yuan was able to win two cage fights, or maybe it was Chu Qin's words that contradicted the priest, but no matter what the case was, Gu Du felt that Meng Yuan was not finished with him, because as soon as he entered the school field, Meng Yuan glared at him with the kind of gaze that wanted to eat people.

Gu Du didn't understand very well, and he didn't let Meng Yuan fight twice, why did Meng Yuan attribute all his hatred to him?

Besides, if it wasn't for that young man slipping and falling, Gu Du would have died in the cage, no matter how you calculate it, it was Meng Yuan who harmed him, not him who harmed Meng Yuan, is it because he looks thin and short, and he looks like a bully?
