Song Jiang rubbed his sore head and was about to speak when he saw a familiar figure walking towards the two of them not far away. He took a closer look and saw that it was Director Xu whom he hadn't seen for a few days!
"Uncle Xu! You are here to work! Where have you been these past few days?!" Song Jiang said with excitement.
Lao Xu first nodded politely to Meng Zhe, and then said apologetically to Song Jiang, "It's been really hard on you these past few days. If you have anything to say, go in first and talk about it."
Song Jiang originally thought that Lao Xu would explain to them his whereabouts over the past few days after entering the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Meng Zhe and gave a real kneeling ceremony... …
Song Jiang, who was standing nearby in shock, quickly backed away and said with a confused look on his face, "Uncle Xu, what are you doing?!"
Seeing that Lao Xu did not explain to him, he instead said to Meng Zhe respectfully, "Little God, please pay homage to the White Tiger Saint!"
After hearing this, Meng Zhe frowned slightly and said, "Changyou... such a familiar name."
When Lao Xu heard this, he immediately replied, "The Holy Lord has just released the seal not long ago, and his memory and Taoism have not yet been fully restored. It is normal not to remember Chang You... Chang You has followed the Holy Lord for seven hundred years, and the Holy Lord has not yet fully recovered." Changyou has the gift of reincarnation and support. Changyou knows that it is only a matter of time before the return of the Holy Lord, so he has been waiting here and helped the Holy Lord guard the book "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". "
When Meng Zhe heard Lao Xu mention the words "Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas", his expression was immediately startled, ""Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas" is also here?!"
Lao Xu nodded and said, "Chang You's Taoism is limited, and he cannot reopen the sealed evil spirits in "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas"... We can only use what he has learned throughout his life to hide it, and wait until you return to the world to reopen it."
After hearing this, Meng Zhe turned to look at the bookshelf filled with old books in the library, nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that the barrier is used for this... Then you went to Tiger Leaping Cliff to confirm it these days. Is my identity gone?"
Upon hearing this, Lao Xu quickly replied, "Please forgive me, Holy Lord, your aura has changed greatly due to the influence of the sacred stone. In addition, Holy Lord did not recognize Changyou at the first time... so I had to go to Shengjun's house in person." Confirmed with seal."
Song Jiang saw that it was not a big deal for Lao Xu to be lying on the ground like this despite his age, so he winked at Meng Zhe and thought about helping him up first. Is there anything that couldn't be sat down and talked about slowly? !
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe didn't even look at Song Jiang, but continued to ask, "You...have been staying here all this time? Did you also build this library?"
Lao Xu nodded and replied, "To return to the Holy Lord, a hundred years ago, I saw that the ghosts and resentments here were lingering, so I took it upon myself to establish this library. Firstly, I can continue to help the Holy Lord protect "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas", and secondly, It can help these ghosts eliminate their obsessions and reincarnate in the underworld as soon as possible."
Seeing that Meng Zhe had no intention of letting Lao Xu stand up, Song Jiang had no choice but to say first, "This is a good thing. Uncle Xu, you'd better get up quickly!"
When Meng Zhe saw this, he nodded slightly, indicating that Lao Sheng could stand up and speak. Then he turned and walked towards the broken bookshelf filled with old books and said, "Remove the barrier..."
After hearing this, Lao Xu hurried over and gently put his hand on the bookshelf. The old books on it immediately ran away as if they had grown legs. Then he saw a delicate little door suddenly appeared on the third floor. in front of people.
Only then did Song Jiang realize that those old books scattered around were clearly little monsters with legs, all jumping and running away, and some even jumped on Song Jiang's feet!
"I'll go! What is this?!" Song Jiang couldn't help but screamed.
When Lao Xu saw him, he quickly comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, they are the lice on my body and they won't hurt you..."
Song Jiang looked at the fist-sized lice, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, he soon discovered that although the lice running around were squirming everywhere, they did not dare to get close to Meng Zhe, so Song Jiang He quickly stood next to Meng Zhe and said with an awkward smile, "Haha... these little things look weird... so cute."
At this time, the appearance of the small door completely attracted Meng Zhe's attention. He walked over and waved lightly, and the small door opened by itself, and a thick leather-bound ancient book was quietly suspended inside... …
Song Jiang knew in his heart that this should be the book "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". He remembered that Meng Zhe had told him that countless demons and ghosts had been sealed in this ancient book, but later they were released by the demonized Qinglong. come out.
At the same time, Meng Zhe's expression was indescribably complicated when he saw the book "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". There seemed to be a trace of resistance in his eyes, but in the end he gently opened his palms and read "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". Then it fell into his palm...
What surprised Song Jiang was that when "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" fell on Meng Zhe's palm, it buzzed with joy, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
But when he looked at Meng Zhe again, he didn't have much reaction. He just gently touched the ancient book twice with his other hand, then sent it back to the small door again, and turned to Lao Xu and said, "Continue to seal it." Bar."
Song Jiang was a little confused when he saw it and said, "Why did you send it back again? I looked at that book as if I was very happy to see you..."
After taking two steps, Meng Zhe suddenly looked back at Song Jiang and said, "Can you tell whether a book is good or not?!"
Song Jiang scratched his head and said, "Isn't that true...it's just a feeling."
After hearing this, Meng Zhe didn't say anything else, but walked into Lao Xu's method room with a stinking face. When Song Jiang saw him, he muttered in a low voice, "Why do you say you fall out when you fall out?"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lao Xu sighed and said, "The Holy Lord must have thought of the demons that escaped from "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas". His old man has been sealed for too long. I really don't know where those demons are now." It’s causing harm to the world.”
Song Jiang looked back at Lao Xu, and for a moment he didn't know what to call him. Lao Xu also saw Song Jiang's thoughts and said with a smile, "You should call me Uncle Xu."
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, are all the evil monsters sealed in that book "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas"?!"
Lao Xu thought for a while and said, "Nine times out of ten..."
"Is it difficult to seal these guys?" After Song Jiang asked, he felt that he had asked a particularly idiotic question.
After hearing this, Lao Xu sighed and said, "In order to seal these demons back then, it was possible to gather the power of the four holy kings of Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger. Now...sigh."
Seeing that Old Xu was halfway through his words, Song Jiang said anxiously, "What's going on now? Is it difficult for them to unite the four saints?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Xu shook his head and said, "This will never be possible."
