Chapter 1021 Password Door

Song Jiang was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "Of course I understand what you said, but don't some things have to be done by someone? The seal on the Xuanwu boulder will have to be unlocked sooner or later. The question is whether he breaks through it himself or I do it... There is a big difference between the two. If it's the latter, he still has room for choice, and the price he has to pay is just a small mortal like me; but if it's the former, this hell is the last barrier to stop him. Once this barrier is broken, you will have to deal with more than just an out-of-control Xuanwu God. You will also have to deal with tens of thousands of evil spirits in this hell and the most terrifying, bloody and unknown monsters that have been hiding in the dark."

Perhaps he had never thought that these words would come out of Song Jiang's mouth. Meng Zhe was stunned at first, and then suddenly asked solemnly, "Who told you these words...?"

After Song Jiang hesitated for a moment, he told the truth, "Who else could it be? Of course it's the Azure Dragon God."

Meng Zhe tried his best to curse someone, but he didn't know who to curse, so he said angrily, "You believe what he said? Don't you have a brain? Besides, that Chou'er is just a little banyan monster. Is it worth it to save it?"

Song Jiang scratched his head and grinned, "He was the one who saved me first in the illusion... We were not familiar with each other at that time, and he risked his life to save me, so how could I just ignore him after I got out of trouble?!"

Hearing what Song Jiang said, Meng Zhe was too lazy to argue with him, so he just shook his head and said, "Okay... As long as you don't regret it."

At this time, Meng Zhe didn't know that all the tragic life of Song Jiang was actually planned by him, because he would never have thought that he would have so many ties with a shadow a thousand years later... With Meng Zhe's protection, the journey afterwards was surprisingly smooth.

During this time, there were monsters that wanted to get close to Song Jiang, but they were all beaten to ashes by Meng Zhe. From then on, no evil spirit dared to approach him easily. But for some reason, the closer Song Jiang got to the basalt boulder, the more anxious he felt in his heart...

"He is calling me...right?" Song Jiang suddenly murmured softly.

Meng Zhe nodded and said, "You just realized it? From the moment you set foot on the land of the hell, he sensed your presence, so he guided you step by step, allowing you to find his location accurately... Are you scared? It's not too late to regret now. I can take you away from here immediately."

Song Jiang sighed silently. After Gu Hao left, Meng Zhe came. Thinking of Gu Hao, Song Jiang felt very guilty. Such a good body was ruined in his hands. So he asked Meng Zhe tentatively, "Do you think Gu Hao can find a body as perfect as his current one?"

Meng Zhe snorted when he heard it, "What are you thinking? This kind of thing is just like buying a lottery ticket. It all depends on luck. Whatever you encounter is what you get. Maybe it's an old man, or a woman. If time is tight... beast is also an option."

"Ah... no way? Is the range so large?!" Song Jiang said with some surprise.

"If it's about taking over someone's body, it would be much simpler. You can just pick the one you like and rob him. But Gu Hao is offering his body... naturally it's up to whoever gets his turn." Meng Zhe said unhappily.

Song Jiang agreed. Even gods like Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise could not easily find a suitable body, let alone a mortal like Gu Hao. Song Jiang was thinking about talking to Meng Zhe again, asking him to go back and help Gu Hao so that he could find a suitable person to offer sacrifices to. But he suddenly saw a black stone mountain appearing in front of him... At this time, he heard Meng Zhe beside him say in a deep voice, "We're here... The Black Tortoise stone should be in this stone mountain."

Song Jiang was immediately puzzled when he heard this, because the mountain looked like a "one-piece iron lump" and there was no hole or gap to enter. In order to find the basalt boulder, did they have to split the stone mountain? !

Unexpectedly, just as Song Jiang was looking at the mountain and sighing, a hunchbacked old man suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the stone mountain. Song Jiang looked at the man and felt that he looked familiar. He immediately thought that this was the follower of King Pingdeng whom he met in the crevice of the Queergou cave last time, so he said in surprise, "Hey... why is it you?"

The hunchbacked old man smiled and said, "I am here to pay my respects to Lord White Tiger. His Highness King Pingdeng ordered me to wait for you two here and lead you to the location of the Xuanwu boulder."

Meng Zhe raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "How did you know we were coming here?"

The hunchbacked old man quickly replied respectfully, "Your Majesty... Your Highness King Pingdeng was entrusted by the Majesty of Suzaku to help the one who can unlock the seal to find the Black Tortoise Stone."

"Suzaku?!" Meng Zhe was completely confused.

Song Jiang knew that there were some things that even the White Tiger Lord back then was not aware of, so he hurriedly urged, "Hurry up, don't waste time."

After hearing this, the hunchbacked old man gestured to them and said, "Please follow me..."

Song Jiang thought that the hunchbacked old man would lead them into the mountain through a special passage, but he walked up to the stone wall and gently pushed it, and a smooth stone slab rose up, revealing the digital keys inside. After the hunchbacked old man raised his hand and entered a string of numbers, a square entrance appeared in the middle of the stone wall, which surprised Song Jiang... Who would have thought that there was a password door on the stone mountain in the hell?

"I didn't expect this place to keep up with the times. It even has a password door." Song Jiang couldn't help but teased.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The hunchbacked old man explained, "There was no such thing here before... After the White Tiger Lord reminded me to find the crack last time, His Royal Highness King Pingdeng ordered me to install a combination lock here. It can not only facilitate our people to enter and exit, but also prevent those evil spirits with ulterior motives from entering and disturbing the Black Tortoise Lord."

As the three of them entered, dim lights lit up one after another along the long corridor, and then the password door behind them closed again, and the stone mountain once again became as solid as before without any cracks...

Meng Zhe walked in the dim corridor, thinking about what the hunchbacked old man had just said. Why did Suzaku take Xuanwu's soul and hide in this ghost place? And why did he seal his soul in the stone? The last time he took a quick look, he realized that Suzaku's method of sealing Xuanwu was completely different from his method of sealing Qinglong.
