Chapter 997 The Gate of Hell

After Li Wan explained everything to the ghost messenger Lao San, the latter took Song Jiang, Gu Hao, and a group of ghosts on the road. They took advantage of the moonlight and came to the west of the Yellow Spring Inn, where there were other ghost messengers and ghosts waiting to enter the gate. Lao San and his colleagues simply greeted each other and then led the ghosts they were escorting to line up in an orderly manner to wait to enter the Ghost Gate...

Perhaps it was because Li Wan introduced them, the third brother's attitude towards Song Jiang and Gu Hao, although not enthusiastic, was very considerate. Whenever they met other ghosts, he would remind the two of them not to make any sound, and at the same time be responsible for covering for them, trying his best to make them look no different from other ghosts in the team.

As for the ghosts traveling with them, they had basically accepted their fate of death, so they had no interest in the people and things around them, and just wanted to report to the underworld and reincarnate as soon as possible... But Song Jiang was different. Although he never spoke casually, his eyes were rolling around, looking around the surrounding environment, and he was full of curiosity about the completely unfamiliar world he was about to enter. Since there are thousands of faces, the personalities of ghosts are naturally different, so Song Jiang's actions did not attract the attention of other ghosts.

At this time, a huge bronze door appeared in front of them. On the top of the door were written three gold-plated official script words "Gate of Ghost". The signature below was actually Tang Bohu's seal. Seeing this, Song Jiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that calligraphy masters are respected everywhere!
Although they had not come close, the ghosts seemed to sense something terrible, and they all trembled and shook like sieves... Song Jiang immediately looked at the door and found that there seemed to be many figures standing there. One of them was particularly burly, and from a distance it seemed that he was at least two meters tall. The remaining few looked very different from the ordinary ghost messengers like Lao San in terms of clothing, and they should be officials with some positions.

At this time, the third brother slowly approached Song Jiang and Gu Hao, and whispered to them, "The ghost gate is ahead, be careful and alert... The ghost king is on duty today, and he may randomly check the list of ghosts. Remember, don't look directly into the eyes when you see the ghost king."

Before Song Jiang and Gu Hao could react, their team had already arrived near the Ghost Gate, but the team they were walking in was suddenly stopped by the ghost guarding the front gate, as if he wanted to check their roster ghost by ghost... Fortunately, Li Wan had already thought of this in advance and added Song Jiang and Gu Hao's names to the roster in advance.

Normally, the ghost guards only look at the list and have no right to check the book of life and death, so they don't realize that Song Jiang and Gu Hao are "fake ghosts". Of course, there is another most important point, that is, no normal person would pretend to be a ghost and break into the underworld. Isn't that just seeking death? !

As the ghosts in front of him passed one by one, it was about to be his turn. Song Jiang's heart could not help but rise to his throat. After all, it was his first time to enter the gate of hell. Who knew if there would be any trouble along the way? So he was inevitably a little uneasy. Gu Hao, who was walking in front of him, passed quickly, and Song Jiang was relieved.

Unexpectedly, just when Song Jiang thought he could pass through smoothly like Gu Hao, a gatekeeper suddenly stopped him and asked, "Your name is Song Jiang? How did you die?"

Song Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and realized that he had miscalculated. They thought that the ghost guarding the gate would at most look at the list and would not ask the ghost himself, so he didn't even look at how Li Wan wrote on the list how he died. Unexpectedly, the ghost guarding the gate didn't ask anyone but Song Jiang this question...

Song Jiang knew that it was very risky to guess blindly at this time, so he scratched his head with a dazed look on his face and said, "I don't remember... Do you know how I died?"

The ghost rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, saying, "Another fool... Hurry over!" Song Jiang was relieved when he heard this, and wanted to quickly catch up with Gu Hao in front of him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard another deep voice saying in a deep voice, "Wait..."

Song Jiang's heart suddenly tightened, realizing that the person who called him should be the big fool who was more than two meters tall. It seemed that he was the Ghost King mentioned by the third brother, so Song Jiang stopped tremblingly, lowered his head, and looked very scared... At this time, a tall shadow appeared in front of Song Jiang, covering his entire body, so he instinctively raised his head and saw an ugly, bearded man looking at him coldly.

The other person had a pair of golden eyes. Song Jiang only took one look and felt as if he was firmly sucked by a magnet, unable to move his eyes away... The other person seemed to be able to see through Song Jiang's thoughts through his eyes. When he came to his senses, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost knelt down on the spot.

Gu Hao, who had already passed by, felt his heart rise to his throat when he heard this, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. But at this time he had already passed the checkpoint and there was no way he could go back to check on Song Jiang's condition. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Song Jiang could pass the checkpoint smoothly.

At this time, the ghost king with golden pupils looked Song Jiang up and down, and asked in a deep voice, "Your name is Song Jiang?"

After hearing this, Song Jiang nodded tremblingly and said, "Yes... yes, my name is Song Jiang."

After hearing this, the Golden Eyed Ghost King placed his hand on his shoulder and said softly, "You are finally here..."

Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of the other party's words, so he forgot to pretend and looked up with a blank face. Seeing this, the latter laughed and said, "You are much thinner than I imagined... Go in, your companions are waiting for you."

The third brother behind him saw that the Ghost King had already let Song Jiang go, but he was still standing there stupidly, so he immediately urged him, "Hurry up... Don't delay the ghosts behind from entering the pass!"

Hearing this, Song Jiang dared not hesitate, and hurriedly walked into the bronze gate. At the same time, he was also thinking about what the Golden Eyed Ghost King had just said. Could it be that the other party knew the purpose of his doing this? Gu Hao saw that Song Jiang had passed the test, and he finally put his heart at ease.

Fortunately, they escaped danger without any danger and the two finally entered the gates of hell smoothly. But before Song Jiang could be happy, he suddenly felt the world spinning. The whole world, including himself, turned upside down 180 degrees. When he steadied himself and looked at his surroundings, he found that everything around him became a little different... Day and night reversed in an instant.
