Why did this ghost seal end up in the Crescent Hotel?
In other words, who gave this ghost seal to the Crescent Hotel?
Zhang Zhuoxun suddenly realized something and raised his head and stared straight at Huo Xiangu, "You are lying. After the decline of the Nine Sects, you definitely saw Zhang Menyu."
Huo Xiangu's expression was slightly surprised, and she put down the teacup in her hand, "Why do you see that?"
Zhang Zhuxun was now convinced, "You have indeed seen him."
He just said that just to deceive Huo Xiangu, but from her reaction, it can be seen that his previous guess was indeed right.
"The owner behind the ghost seal at Crescent Hotel is actually you, right?" Zhang Zhuxun folded his hands on the table, relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, with a calm posture.
Huo Xiangu's expression changed slightly, and finally she sighed slowly, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, that ghost seal was given to me by Zhang Menyu, but it was in the year Wu Xie was born.
."
"I don't know where he came back from, but I can feel that he is dying. It is an unnatural death, as if he has suffered some irreversible damage."
"His mind was a little unclear at the time. After handing Guixi to me, he left. I don't know where he went."
"Because I was a little curious, I asked people to track him down. My people followed him to Changbai Mountain, and then he suddenly disappeared."
"Like fragile soap bubbles in the sun, when I stood on the top of the snow-capped mountains, my man just lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and then he disappeared into the air ahead."
Zhang Shuxun suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and said softly, "Besides giving you the Ghost Seal, did he say anything else?"
Huo Xiangu was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "He said that he failed and there was no time."
After hearing this sentence, Zhang Zhuxun sat there blankly, silent for a long time.
After a while, he finally reacted. He reached out to pick up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then he held the jade ring in his hand, stood up and bowed slightly, "Thank you for letting me know. If I can live from now on,
Come out, I will do my best to do whatever you want me to do."
After saying goodbye, he turned around, and when he was about to reach the door, Huo Xiangu from behind stopped him, "I know that you have a lot to do like Zhang Menyu, and I don't force you to confine yourself to Xiuxiu.
, as long as you give some guidance at the critical moment, Xiuxiu is a smart child. As long as you give her time, she will definitely grow to my position, or even surpass me."
Zhang Zhuxun's footsteps stopped and he did not look back.
"Although I don't know how you plan to deal with those people, but with this ring, as long as the Huo family is in Xiuxiu's hands, she will definitely support everything you want to do." Huo Xiangu said calmly.
"Okay."
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded and walked out of the tent.
When the footsteps faded away, Huo Xiangu's straight back was slightly bent, revealing a bit of dejection that she tried hard to hide in front of others.
Beside the tent, the fat man and the little brother were waiting eagerly. Finally, they saw Zhang Zhuxun's figure coming out from behind the tent not far away, and they immediately went to meet him.
"Then why is the old lady looking for you now? It's been taking so long, and the fat man even wonders if she's going to change her mind and break up the gang." The fat man said dissatisfied.
Zhang Zhuoxun looked a little sad and shook his head, "Nothing special. I just asked you to take care of Huo Xiuxiu when I am free in the future."
The fat man glared and suddenly raised his voice, "What the hell? Does she treat you as a free bodyguard or something?"
Zhang Shuxun smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, I also benefited from it."
"That's pretty much it." The fat man smiled and patted Zhang Shuxun on the shoulder, "Let's go, everything is ready, I just need you."
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Huo Zhizhi and the others were already waiting. When they saw the three people approaching, they waved to set off.
The road to the first sealing stone was smooth. The Huo family members in the team were chatting and laughing, looking very relaxed.
The fat man would also make a witticism from time to time. In the past, Zhang Shuxun would definitely pick up the conversation and make jokes with him, but now Zhang Shuxun's mood is obviously not right.
The fat man winked at the younger brother, and the two of them stepped forward and walked side by side to Zhang Zhuxun. Seeing that he seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, they walked beside him silently without disturbing him.
Zhang Zhuxun was thinking in his heart, what kind of existence Zhang Menyu is.
Huo Xiangu's people said that he suddenly disappeared in Changbai Mountain and was on the verge of death at that time. What on earth did he do to cause himself to suffer such fatal injuries?
Zhang Zhuoxun only deduced from Huo Xiangu's words that Zhang Menyu seemed to have a special mission to complete. This mission was probably related to his purpose of stealing the ghost seal. So in the nearly ten years since he disappeared from everyone's sight,
Where did it go again?
The most important thing is that he has a vague feeling in his heart that the tasks assigned to him by the system are related to what Zhang Menyu did back then.
Or maybe he is just one of the previous hosts of the system, and the same goes for Zhang Menyu, so before him, are there more hosts who have also failed for this task countless times?
[Is that so? System.] Zhang Zhuxun asked softly in his heart.
After waiting for a long time, the system, which had been silent for a long time, replied, [You also have that kind of blood, this is our mission]
Zhang Shuxun's heart sank slightly, [Which host am I yours?]
[The Third] System said, [Since the destruction of the main Zhang family, once Zhang Qiling, who has not received a complete inheritance, is given the gift of heaven, his amnesia will be his fatal weakness. I can no longer place my hope of completing the mission on Zhang Qiling, so I need to
Re-screen suitable people】
[What is the mission?] Zhang Zhu asked, the mission of the head of the Zhang family is to protect the Bronze Gate, so what is the mission of the system?
The system said, [Destroying it will not only include the Wang family, but also the starting point of all causal original sins]

Soon, the team arrived in front of the first sealing stone.
The Huo family stood aside, waiting for the younger brother's instructions.
There was no word from the younger brother for a while, so Huo Zhizhi had no choice but to step forward and ask Zhang Shuxun, "Master Yu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Ask your people to shovel off a layer of things on the wall." Zhang Zhu asked, "Shovel the areas that can be shoveled."
Huo Zhizhi did not show the slightest doubt. He turned around and waved to several members of the Huo family, giving a few instructions and leaving the others on standby.
Zhang Zhuxun glanced around at the several Huo family members in the team this time, and found that Huo Xiaoli and Huo Xiaozhu, whom he knew well, were all there, as was Huo Jinqiu, who was wearing glasses, but Huo Zhixing was missing.<
/p>
Frowning, Zhang Zhuxun called the simple and easy-to-deceive Huo Xiaoli over as usual and asked, "Why didn't Huo Zhixing come?"
Huo Xiaoli shook his head, "I don't know, he must have other tasks."
Zhang Zhuoxun frowned. He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't notice anything strange about the Huo family except Huo Jinqiu. I hope he was overthinking.p>
The wall was quickly cleared, and Feng Shi revealed his true face.
It was a dozen fragmented reliefs like a checkerboard puzzle. The little brother stood aside and looked at it for a few times, then reached out to the fat man for a photo.
The fat man took out the pile of photos from Wu Xiaoxie from his backpack, handed them to the little brother, and said: "Here, they are all here."
The little brother took the photo, rummaged through it a few times, fixed his eyes on one of the photos, looked at it carefully, then returned the photo to the fat man, walked to the sealing stone, and stretched out his hand on one of the reliefs.
After groping for a few times, his palm suddenly exerted force, and the relief sculpture sank in after he pressed it.
After that, the little brother walked to another relief sculpture and pressed it down the same way, and then the next one.
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at the little brother's movements, then looked at the photos, and suddenly discovered the pattern. After the little brother pressed the fourth relief piece, he stepped forward and put his hand on the last piece, and then looked at the little brother.<
/p>
The little brother nodded slightly, and Zhang Zhuxun pressed it hard, then stepped aside.
The two of them didn't say a word during the whole process. Four or five seconds passed after pressing the relief button, but the sealing stone still didn't change.
Some members of Huo's family couldn't help but wanted to come forward to ask, but Huo Zhizhi stopped him with his hand.
The man curled his lips, said nothing, turned and walked aside.
Zhang Zhuoxun saw all the silent undercurrent here, but he just looked at it coldly and didn't pay much attention to it.
At this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from inside the sealing stone in front of everyone. Then, the sound seemed to be contagious, spreading to the surrounding rock walls at an extremely slow speed.
The sound of gears grinding and churning enveloped the entire space, as if they were in a mechanical box.
The sound of the chain rubbing and turning lasted for about five minutes before it finally stopped. The echo in the cave was still buzzing, and there was still no obvious change in the sealing stone in front of me.
"What's going on? How come it's thundering but not raining? Did you stay in the nest for too long and the mechanisms inside are rusty and frozen?" The fat man stepped forward and wanted to touch the sealing stone.
Zhang Zhuxun held him down and said, "Wait a little longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sealing stone in front of him suddenly shook, with a muffled boom, and the ground shook faintly. With the loud noise, the sealing stone slowly cracked a gap from the middle, and continued to move to the left and right.
