Chapter 241 Chapter 240
Shen Mu took a look at this somewhat deserted inn, and asked the proprietress: "We just arrived here, are there any rooms available? Prepare a few for us, and prepare some food and drinks."

"There are plenty of rooms, you can live here by yourself. But there are no food and drinks." The proprietress said lazily.

Seeing the proprietress' attitude, Mu Changlan was a little annoyed and said, "Madam proprietress, are you afraid that we won't be able to pay?"

"He went to the city without knowing anything." The proprietress sighed and said, "Oh, it's too late to turn around now. In fact, you can't go out of the city anymore, so you can only stay here and wait slowly with us. die."

"Wait, wait to die?!" Everyone was slightly startled.

Xiahou Jinxuan stepped forward and clasped his fists and asked, "What does the proprietress mean by this?"

The proprietress shook her head, sighed and said, "Oh...it's been a long time to say this. The rain here has become less and less since a hundred years ago, and the nearby lakes and wells have gradually dried up. Only a few wells in the old palace site still have water. Half a year ago, we dug deep into the well, and unexpectedly disturbed the ghost of King Loulan who died a hundred years ago, alas..."

As she said that, the proprietress showed despair, frowned, and continued: "After the king woke up, the whole city was wrapped in a strange spell, turning it into a dead city that could only be entered but not exited. At night, Wang's Soul and his dependents are wandering around in the city, no one dares to go out."

"You can only enter but not exit..." Everyone looked strange, Xia questioned: "We just walked in through the gate, why can't we go out? I don't believe it!"

After speaking, he ran out of the inn, and everyone followed.

Everyone came to the gate of Loulan City, Xia walked out of the gate, but returned in an instant, "I, I must have gone in the wrong direction, come again! Why are you still here! No, it is impossible to get out—— "

"Miss Xia!" Shen Mu stepped forward to persuade, "Miss Xia, calm down—"

"Don't!" Xia said a little anxiously, "I don't want to wait here to die!! I, I still have a long time to live! I want to go out, I want to go out!!"

Huangfu Zhuo waved his robe sleeves and said disdainfully: "It's so unreasonable to lose your composure."

Xia Zhengqi didn't hit one place, but Huangfu Zhuo came to add to the trouble, so he pointed at Huangfu Zhuo and said angrily: "Huangfu Zhuo! What are you talking about! Want to fight?! If I really want to die here, I will beat you up first ! I can't stand you, a rich young master who looks down on others for a long time!"

Huangfu Zhuo also flushed with anger: "You——!"

"Calm down, both of you!" Xiahou Jinxuan stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss Xia, the desert is dangerous, and we have supported us all the way to get here. At this time, we have set up the wall and people are confused. Even if there is a way out I can't even think of it! Brother Huangfu, it's understandable that Miss Xia is flustered, so please stop saying a few words! We are in a dangerous situation right now, the most important thing for us is to help each other and work together to find a way out, isn't it?"

"...Hmph!" Huangfu Zhuo and Xia snorted coldly, turned around, and ignored each other.

Daoist Ling Bo stepped forward and said, "You guys don't need to be too pessimistic. Find out if there is any weakness in the enchantment spell covering Loulan City. If there is any weakness, attack it with all your strength, and maybe break the enchantment. How about it? "

"Yes." Everyone worked together but failed to break the enchantment spell.

Long Ming shook his head and said: "This magic circle is very domineering, it seems that it is not easy to break through. According to the proprietress of the inn, at night, the soul of King Loulan and his family will wander in the city. This magic circle should be As long as the king of Loulan set it up, I believe that the magic circle will be broken. However, if it can't be successful in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to deal with the resentful spirits and make them unable to escape."

Hearing this, Xiahou Jinxuan said thoughtfully: "So, tonight is the key to whether we can leave the city."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "Well, let's go back to the inn to rest first, we will be busy at night."

Everyone felt that this was the only way to go, so they went back to the guest room to rest together. Shen Mu wanted to go around Loulan City, and Mu Changlan also wanted to go out together, so the two walked out of the inn together.

At this time, it was dusk, the sky was full of golden clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted over the golden ancient city of Loulan. Even the ground under your feet had a golden feeling. On the lonely road in the ancient city of Loulan, there was nothing However, it has a sense of mystery, and Shen Mu feels that there is a kind of comfort in this ancient city.

"Young man, are you from the Central Plains?" At this time, a middle-earth businessman who looked like a merchant ran over with a pale face and asked Shen Mu with his hands clasped.

"Exactly, who are you?" Shen Mu looked at this person lightly, and asked casually.

Wu Yong looked happy, and said slowly: "My name is Wu Yong. I'm from Mingzhou. I came to this ghost place with my brother Wu Ren to sell goods. I didn't expect to be trapped. Seeing that the food in the city is getting less and less. Going down can only wait for death. My brother and I have been thinking about it for several days, thinking that if we can kill King Loulan, we may be able to leave the city. So we decided to kill that monster together last night. Unexpectedly, my brother knocked me unconscious last night while I was not paying attention. Killed me. When I woke up, he was gone, and I thought he must have gone to that haunted town by himself."

Shen Mu looked at the disheveled merchant and said, "So, the two of you brothers also know how to exorcise ghosts?"

Wu Yong nodded slightly and said: "It's just that I'm a brother. If you want to get rid of ghosts, I beg you to take me with you. I will also do some self-defense, and I won't burden you."

Mu Changlan thought that with one more person, he would have an extra helper, so she said, "Ah Mu, they have a deep brotherhood, so we might as well make it happen. Besides, maybe he can be a helper."

Shen Mu waved his hand and said: "This statement is wrong. A lone soldier goes deep into a dangerous place. It is better not to be many. If you take him with you, in case something happens, it will not be as good as you want. My dear brother, you are now anxious, and it will not help. You are in the city. Wait for our news here, don't act recklessly." After saying that, he left slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Tch, what are you talking about? With such a hard heart, how can you understand how worried I am about my little brother." Wu Yong felt annoyed, and then said to Mu Changlan: "Girl, you are kind, please help me! "

"This..." Mu Changlan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. Amu has rich experience in the world, and what he said just now is indeed reasonable. Don't be impatient. If we meet Ling brother tonight, we will definitely bring him safely. Back. I want to let my younger brother get rid of the demons alone, but I don’t want you to take risks together. You should not act rashly, and don’t disappoint your younger brother. I will take my leave first, and you can wait for our news.” Saying that, she also turned down Mu followed in the direction Mu left.

Wu Yong watched the two leave behind, gritted his teeth, and said angrily in a low voice: "You said it nicely, who knows if you will really help me find my younger brother! Damn it!
Little brother, you wait, big brother will definitely save you!Yes, I'll buy a good sword first! "

……

"Hey, this person's appearance is similar to that merchant just now." Shen Mu and Mu Changlan wandered around the city, and when they came to another district of Loulan City, they saw a man lying on the ground with something in his arms. .

"Hey, are you okay? Are you Wu Yong's brother Wu Ren?" Mu Changlan stepped forward to wake up the man.

"Yes, I am Wu Ren... who are you?" Wu Ren woke up, patted his drowsy head, looked at Shen Mu and asked.

After Shen Mu and Mu Changlan told Wu Ren about meeting Wu Ren's brother, they took Wu Ren to find Wu Yong who was buying weapons.

"Ah, thank you very much." Wu Yong thanked Shen Mu and the two, and then asked his brother: "Xiaoren, you are worrying about your elder brother, are you okay?"

Wu Yong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, brother, don't worry. I didn't find any monsters all the way in, but I found a bag of gold coins. Later, I was really tired, so I slept for a while..."

"Gold coins?!" Wu Yong set his eyes on the sack in Wu Ren's arms when he heard the gold coins.

"...Yes, it seems to be Loulan's gold coins." Wu Ren opened his pocket, and it was full of golden gold coins, which was a bit dazzling.

Mu Changlan's eyes could not help being attracted by the gold coins, but Shen Mu dismissed them.

Wu Yong stared at the bag of gold coins in Wu Ren's hand, swallowed, his Adam's apple slipped, his eyes turned slightly, and he said to Wu Ren: "Hey, Xiao Ren, should we—"

Wu Ren quickly tied up his pocket and hugged it tightly in his arms, looking vigilant, "Don't even think about it, since it's with me, it's naturally mine."

Seeing Wu Ren's expression, Wu Yong said bitterly: "We are brothers, you got this gold coin, why don't you share it with elder brother?"

Seeing the idea of ​​making money, Wu Ren was afraid that Wu Yong would rob him of his gold coins, so he turned his face and said, "Hmph, you have a good idea! Wu Yong, my brother will settle the account, let's settle the account today."

Seeing that his brothers had turned their backs, Wu Yong also stared and said: "Alright, I have endured you for a long time, and today I will divide up the property. From now on, we will be on the road to the sky, each side will go!"

"Hey, why are you two brothers like this?" Shen Mu felt that this brother Wu Ren started going to the haunted area for the sake of his eldest brother Wu Yong, even without his life, and the eldest brother Wu Yong was also anxious for his brother's safety, but now the two of them are only thinking about money. , suddenly turned their faces and quarreled.

Wu Ren glanced at Shen Mu and Mu Changlan and said, "It's just right, the two of you will be the masters for us, let's divide this family."

Shen Mu persuaded: "Both of you, at the beginning you could disregard life and death for the sake of brothers, presumably it must be because of deep feelings. Now that the two of you meet each other, why bother to hurt your friendship for a mere bag of gold coins?"

Wu Ren hugged a bag of gold coins tightly and said, "Anyway, this bag of gold coins belongs to me, so I don't want to say anything more to this person, let's split up quickly."

Seeing the appearance of the two brothers, Mu Changlan felt disdainful, and went back to the inn to rest. Wu Yong and Wu Ren asked Shen Mu to act as a notary to a warehouse where the goods were stored, and brought the goods out.

Wu Ren clasped his fists at Shen Mu and said, "Young Xia Shen, please help us share the goods."

Shen Mu shook his head secretly in his heart and said, "You two, is there really no room for redemption?"

Wu Ren gave Wu Yong a disdainful look and said, "I have nothing to say to him!"

"...You!" Wu Yong's face was flushed and his voice trembled.

Wu Ren said to his eldest brother Wu Yong: "Let me tell you first, the things in the two boxes behind me are all my favorites, and they don't matter. Hmph, the things in your big box must be the same."

Wu Yong said: "Of course. Besides, your two boxes are worth more than mine. You have nothing to complain about."

Wu Ren checked the goods and said: "Our current goods can be roughly divided into [-] parts, and the large, medium and small boxes are filled with whole parts. For the sake of you being the eldest brother, I finally let you Get an extra."

"This won't work, you have to give me at least two more copies!" Wu Yong was furious. He felt that Wu Ren got a generation of gold coins, but he didn't give him any of them. One piece of goods was only worth a few dollars, so he wanted to buy more. Only one piece of goods will stop.

"Wu Yong, don't even think about it, there are no doors!" Wu Ren was also angry at once, he felt that Wu Yong was pushing an inch, and he didn't give him the gold coins, otherwise he would lose a lot.

"You!...You, I will fight with you today!" The elder brother Wu Yong felt that this brother was too worthless, so he casually grabbed the sledgehammer used for self-defense on the cargo, and threw it at brother Wu Ren's head.

"Ah...!" Wu Ren flashed, but it hit his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed his elder brother Wu Ren in the chest.

Immediately, the eldest brother Wu Ren's chest was bleeding profusely, and he fell into a pool of blood, staring at his brother Wu Ren, his whole body twitched a few times, and then swallowed his breath.

"Haha, the goods are all mine!" Wu Ren was overjoyed when he saw that his eldest brother Wu Ren was dead, but from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Shen Mu who was standing aside, watching this scene, knowing that the news should not be leaked, so he Taking Shen Mu as a thorn in his side, he felt malicious, "Young man, I'll give you one of these gold coins, so don't tell me about it?"

"..." Shen Mu just looked at Wu Ren's sly eyes indifferently, and remained silent. His heart was for the two brothers who were still dependent on each other just now, but now they were beaten badly and even killed. And sigh.

Seeing that Shen Mu didn't speak, Wu Ren took out a gold coin from his pocket with his left hand, but put the dagger behind his back with his right hand, and approached Shen Mu quietly, wanting to take advantage of Shen Mu's unpreparedness and sneak attack Shen Mu, "Wow!" With a bang, he stabbed at Shen Mu's chest!

"Looking for death!" Shen Mu didn't expect that this person would dare to attack him, he leaned back slightly, and kicked Wu Ren to the ground with one kick.

"...Ah!" Wu Ren fell to the ground, staggered up, and felt the knife again, stabbing towards Shen Mu.

But there were two flames in Shen Mu's eyes, and when he raised his right hand, a ball of flame rose in his hand, and with a "boom!", Wu Ren, who was rushing towards him, was thrown away.
Burned into black charcoal.

"If the two of you brothers don't turn your back on this money, why would you?" Shen Mu shook his head and sighed, then waved two real fires of samadhi, burning the bodies of these two people to ashes.

And now the money and goods in the warehouse and the bag of gold coins that the two brothers fought over were all owned by Shen Mu.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, complete a hidden task, get money and gold coins from Wu Yong and Wu Ren, and get 3000 points."
