Before leaving, the camel of the Ministry of Literature and History hurriedly mentioned the "martial soul" to a group of students, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, but because of the lack of clarity, he failed to engrave the concept of martial soul into the hearts of young students, which can not but be said to be a pity.

At the same time, a young martial artist in the Academy's Astrology Hall also said this word in a low voice.

This is a scholar in a plain cloth robe, with a serene face, and the whole person is as clean as a pure lotus flower.

The plain-robed scholar was now kneeling reverently on the futon in the center of the main hall, and above him was a huge statue of a figure.

It is a three-meter-tall stone statue made of a single piece of white marble.

And in the empty astrology hall, there is only this statue.

The statue is a young man wearing a scarf and standing in the wind, with a clear face and a resolute and confident mouth carved vividly, it is the first dean of the Soul Domain Academy, the most prestigious astrologer in the otherworldly continent - Feidu.

Feidu held a piece of astrolabe-like artifact in his left hand and his right hand behind him, looking up into the distance, the whole statue stood on a square pedestal made of granite, and the pedestal was engraved with the words: When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

The plain-robed scholar in front of the statue is the current dean of the Soul Domain Academy, and he is also the deputy leader of the Soul Suppression Tribe, and he is the only disciple of the astrologer Feidu.

"When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you" is a phrase with a timeless meaning, and Lian has pondered countless times. The teacher said that this sentence was said by an astrologer in ancient times, and what exactly it meant, Feidu did not explain it to his disciples.

Lian's roommate knows that this white marble statue is a family of wine cooking in Yunnan County from their admiration for Feidu, and specially found a famous craftsman to carve it with a whole piece of natural white marble stone that is rare in the world according to the appearance of Feidu.

More than 10 years ago, the family spent a lot of money, thousands of miles, and hired a lot of manpower and material resources to transport the statue from Yunnan to Chengdu.

Feidu, who is weak by nature and does not like fame and fortune, accepted the statue out of courtesy, but kept it in the warehouse of the Soul Suppression Tribe and ignored it for several years.

It wasn't until fifteen years ago that Feidu suddenly moved this white marble statue from the warehouse to the Astrology Palace, and for this purpose, he specially built a granite pedestal nearly one person high in the center of the Astrology Hall.

During this period, Feidu did not let anyone enter the astrological hall, not even his own personal disciple Lian roommate.

After the pedestal was completed, Feidu asked the literature and history to teach the emblem camel to use the sword as a pen, and engraved the sentence "When you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you" in front of the pedestal, and finally the white marble statue was placed on the pedestal.

Today, as usual, Lotus respectfully bowed to the statue of the teacher, and then sat cross-legged next to the statue, looking up at the dome of the main hall, in a daze.

"Uh-huh...... Uh-huh...... Babbling ...... "A vague sound entered the ears of the lotus roommate, and his face was as usual, but he had long been used to it.

Every time I meditate close to the statue, I faintly seem to hear some strange sounds. Now that he has cultivated deeply, he is deeply locked in a heavy building, and he can still hear the subtle sound ten zhang away, but he still can't determine the specific location of this sound.

The strange sound is ethereal, not exact.

It was as if there was a woman crying in the dark;

It is like a bliss from the abyss of the earth, vague;

It's like a human voice but it's like a beast language, and when you listen closely, it doesn't seem to have any sound.

When he first made this discovery, he searched the astrological hall for a long time, but found no source of the sound, and finally fixed his eyes on the pedestal of the teacher's statue.

But when he really leaned on the pedestal of the statue and listened carefully, there was silence.

On the eve of Feidu's outing, he instructed that no one should be allowed to enter the Astrology Temple, even the leader of the Soul Suppression Tribe, and set up a magic circle enchantment in the Astrology Palace, which can block and block all creatures from entering and exiting, except for his disciple - Lotus Roommate.

Of course, as long as you have the strength of a high-grade ninth-level martial artist or above, you can use brute force to break this barrier. But who would go against the wishes of the head of the Soul Domain Academy? Therefore, the Astrology Hall naturally became the forbidden place of the Soul Suppression Headquarters.

Unable to find the source of the strange sound, Lian's roommate naturally had no way to find someone to tell him, even if he did not have the teacher's instructions before leaving, he would not destroy the statue of the teacher to find out.

Slowly, he got used to the presence of this voice.

Lotus was accepted as a personal disciple by Feidu because of his talent in mathematics, which is the basis of astrology.

However, after Feidu took his lotus roommate under his disciple and taught him some basic astrology, he let his only disciple stop studying astrology and began to urge him to practice martial arts.

It didn't take long for Feidu to suddenly decide to go out on a tour, and he didn't leave any special explanation for his fellow Lotus and drifted away.

Fifteen years have passed, and the strength of Lian Sheyou's martial artist has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has entered the ranks of ninth-level martial artists in one fell swoop, but he has not made any progress in astrology.

Astrology must be studied and studied from an early age, stargazing and deduction, and cannot be interrupted, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to make achievements in astrology in this life!

Thinking of this, Lotus's brows frowned slightly: Teacher, teacher, where are you now? The disciple guards the astrology hall alone, but he can't really inherit your mantle, and he is very frightened in his heart!

The boat reached the center of the river, and the bow pulled the full moon, but there was no way to turn back and start over.

When Feidu just left, the young and innocent lotus roommate was not suspicious. According to his teacher's instructions before leaving, he spent most of his energy on practicing martial arts, and rarely read books related to astrology.

As the years passed, Feidu was like evaporating from the world, and no news was transmitted back to the soul, but more and more questions slowly accumulated in the hearts of the lotus roommates, and they wanted to ask the teacher to understand:

Why did the teacher use Yunyou as an excuse to go out in a hurry, but he didn't tell anyone in the tribe where he went?

Why did the nature teaching Xiao Menglou be the same, suddenly retreating and practicing on the top of Qingcheng Mountain, and not seeing anyone in the tribe?

The lotus roommate, whose inner doubts are getting deeper and deeper, will ask each other bitterly at the entrance of the Qinglian Cave every year, but he can't get a response.

After Lian entered the Soul Suppression Elders' Church and became the deputy leader of the Soul Suppression Tribe, he learned that there had been several secret deaths in the history of the Soul Suppression Tribe: fifteen years ago, several high-ranking martial artists of the Soul Suppression Tribe died mysteriously, some died alone at home, and some died in the wilderness.

What's even more terrifying is that it is rumored that the bodies of these unfortunate warriors turned into ashes within half an hour after they were found by everyone. Several deaths are said to be related to a handyman of the Soul Suppression tribe back then. No one knows who the name of the handyman is, but the ancestor of this handyman was once a servant of Xuantian.

The world is full of strange things, and there are many strange things. After all, fifteen years have passed since these deaths, and many relevant information is marked with the word "rumored" on the records of the materials, which can no longer be confirmed.

But what really caught the attention of Lotus's roommate was that the recorders of these secret events were actually Teacher Feidu, and on the top-secret records of these death cases, Feidu marked a passage with a red pen that Lotus's roommate was all too familiar with: When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

Lotus's roommate made a bold guess: Could it be that the teacher went out in a hurry to find out the cause of these deaths?

With this assumption, Lotus's roommate set his sights on the handyman who had not left his name in all the information.

But after looking through several files, as well as other relevant materials from the same period, Lian's roommates did not find any records related to this handyman.

In the Soul Suppression Tribe, the status of miscellaneous servants is low, and they are generally held by low-level martial artists or even ordinary people who cannot break through the third-level martial arts. It is also understandable that there is no record in the information. However, even the top-secret files related to him do not indicate the final fate of this miscellaneous servant: is he dead or alive, and if so, where?

This handyman, who was involved in the deaths of several high-ranking martial artists, disappeared silently into the torrent of time.

The unwilling Lotus roommate repeatedly studied the top-secret files word by word, and pulled out the other information files mentioned in the files one by one from the archives of the library building and carefully consulted them.

The hard work paid off, and finally in another dossier entitled "Casting the Soul of a Warrior", he saw a sentence marked by Feidu himself: How to resist the invisible thing? How to forge the soul of a warrior?

However, there are no special clues in the data file of "Casting the Soul of a Warrior", and all that is expounded is an empty talk about strengthening the study of literature and history among young students of the Soul Domain Academy, and then improving the spiritual cultivation of martial artists.

Lian's roommate deliberately went to find a camel to teach literature and history to talk about this matter, but he had some gains.

Hui Camel told Lotus that as a member of the Soul Suppression Elders, he had read several top-secret dossiers, and had even seen one of the deceased turn to ashes after his death. But Hui Camel didn't know the handyman involved, only knew that everyone called him "Da Tuo", and he was a handyman who was responsible for guarding and taking care of the horses at the horse farm at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain on weekdays.

The reason why Da Tuo entered the field of vision of the high-level of the town soul was that after investigation, it was found that several deceased people had contact with him before they died.

But when the law enforcement team investigating the case went to the racecourse, Datuo was gone. Hui Camel was also a member of the law enforcement team at the time, and he clearly remembered that he rushed to the racecourse and did not catch Datuo, but he saw the dean of the college flying over.

Feidu told Hui Camel that he had also come to Da Tuo for questioning, and he also pounced.

The investigation of the mysterious death case has reached an impasse, but Hui Camel knows that Dean Feidu has been investigating the matter, and the two have talked in detail through the night several times to exchange their views on these cases.

Hui Camel believes that Da Tuo is not the real murderer. Because as a miscellaneous servant, Da Tuo's martial arts are low, and he is just a second-level martial artist limited by his talent, and the deceased in the mysterious case are all martial artists above level eight, and one of them is also a member of the Council of Elders. In terms of force value, how could these people be murdered if they could pinch Da Tuo to death with a single finger? Even if a few people died because of negligence, it is impossible for several people to be killed because of carelessness at the same time!

But the deaths of these warriors must be inseparable from Da Tuo, and it is unknown what role Da Tuo played in it.

The deep conversation with the dean inspired Hui Camel: because the warriors who died did not have any wounds on their bodies, and they were not poisoned. Therefore, he boldly speculated that the deaths of several high-ranking martial artists were probably due to the invasion of their souls by unknown objects, but this vague conjecture soon stalled at the guessing stage due to the lack of data.

However, Hui Luoluo proposed to name the victims of these bizarre murders "Yin Ghost", but Feidu agreed.

Soon after, Feidu went out to travel, Xiao Menglou retreated and practiced penance, and Hui Camel began an in-depth study of the spirit and soul of the warrior for more than ten years.

The research progressed slowly, but it was not without results, because Hui Camel later found several warriors who had contact with Datuo but were unharmed. These warriors are not all high-level martial artists, but they are all resolute. From the analysis of the information they provided to contact with Da To, it is not clear that Da To's speech and behavior are particularly suspicious.

The only thing that is the same is that these warriors have the same evaluation of Da Tuo: "Vulgar!"

Originally, the miscellaneous servants and high-level martial artists did not have much intersection, but they both belonged to the Soul Suppression tribe, and daily contact was inevitable. Everyone's impression of the handyman is that he likes to talk about ingots, women, and the glory and wealth of the world. And other people who know Da Tuo also know that what Da Tuo likes and is most passionate about is the "good thing" of pie in the sky.

As a result, Hui Camel put forward his own original martial spirit.

However, the martial soul doctrine can only stay at the level of academic research after all, and cannot guide practical operations.

Like a helpless child, Lotus's roommate gently leaned towards the statue standing silently beside him, and muttered, "Teacher, are you also going out to find the mystery of the 'martial soul'? Now that the war is raging again, what should the disciple do?"
