Don't randomly pick up apprentices if you wear a book

Shen Mu couldn't help but began to break out in cold sweat, and his legs and feet seemed to have nails growing on them, and he couldn't move the slightest bit.He shouted in his heart: "Help me, I don't want to go to Zuichunlou."

When Lou Wanghai arrived at the gate of Zuichun Building, he realized that Master Shen Mu and his disciples had not followed.He came back angrily and scolded: "What are you pretending to be dead?"

Lou Wanghai's ferocious expression reminded Shen Mu of the severe pain of being pierced by his sword in his memory.Shen Mu's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled even more.

Long Xiaoye frowned, and pushed Lou Wanghai away: "If you have the ability, you can check it yourself."

Lou Wanghai paused, and then softened his voice after a while: "Third Junior Brother, you are a stranger. I'm afraid I have to trouble you to investigate this matter."

Shen Mu waved his hands again and again: "I won't go." He wouldn't go to Zuichunlou even if he was killed.

Lou Wanghai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

At this moment, Long Xiaoye spread out his palm, revealing a faint green mark.

This imprint looks like a skeleton with a bloody mouth open.There was a small thing wriggling in the skeleton's mouth, struggling hard.

When Lou Wanghai saw this imprint, his face immediately changed: "Where did you get it?"

Long Xiaoye: "On Yan Lie's coffin."

When Cailou Wanghai was arguing with Shangguan Lengyue, Long Xiaoye accidentally discovered the imprint on the coffin and stole it.

Lou Wanghai's pair of iron fists creaked, and he slammed into the stone lion beside him.

The stone lion turned into powder with a bang.Shen Mu was awakened by the loud noise.

He stared at his apprentice's palm, and a terrifying name popped out of his memory - "Soul Locking Curse".

It is said that this spell originated from a great wizard in ancient times.She fell in love with a god and volunteered to give her all.But the god later empathized with another and fell in love with the flower demon.The great wizard couldn't bear to hurt the god, but killed the flower demon, and locked her soul into a spell, so that she would never be reborn forever.

Lou Wanghai: "Who is so vicious to cast a soul-locking curse on Yan Lie?!"

Long Xiaoye: "You've made such a big commotion, I think it's better to run first."

The sound of the door latch opening was heard at the house where the stone lion at the door was smashed.Lou Wanghai waved his sleeves and led the two of them into the alley.

Lou Wanghai paced back and forth in the alley, with a look of murderous intent.

Shen Mu wanted to persuade but did not dare to persuade, his mind quickly connected Yan Lie's death, the legend of the soul-locking curse, and Shangguan Lengyue's strange behavior.

"Do you think Shangguan Lengyue knows that Yan Lie has fallen under the Soul Locking Curse?" Shen Mu asked.

Lou Wanghai didn't answer, Long Xiaoye continued: "Maybe I don't know. Because on the third day after death, the living soul will return to the yang world. The Soul Locking Curse uses this moment to devour the living soul."

Lou Wanghai: "But she may not know who the murderer is."

Shen Mu nodded: "The soul-locking curse needs to be activated by deep resentment and jealousy, the person who cast the curse must have an indistinct relationship with Yan Lie or Shangguan Lengyue."

Lou Wanghai: "Now Shangguan Lengyue must not be able to ask anything. The only clue is Zuichunlou."

Lou Wanghai bowed to Shen Mu: "I come to Qinyunzong to visit Yan Lie every year, and there are countless people who know me. If I go to Zuichunlou, I will only startle the snake. Third junior brother, please run for me."

Shen Mu refused in his heart, but when it came to this, wouldn't it make Yan Lie's death unclear if he didn't go?

Seeing him hesitate, Long Xiaoye said, "Master, don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

Shen Mu: "How can a child go to a brothel?"

Lou Wanghai thought for a while, then slapped his thigh suddenly: "Yes, you can pretend to be poor and sell your son. I can rest assured that Xiaobai will accompany you."

Shen Mu said angrily, "Nonsense!"

Long Xiaoye: "It's not impossible."

Lou Wanghai: "Just go and find out. Immediately after finishing the work, you say you don't want to sell your son, so why not just bring Xiaobai back?"

Shen Mu didn't know if Lou Wanghai was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. In a place like Zuichunlou, what if Xiaobai sees something he shouldn't see?

Long Xiaoye smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what to look at and what not to look at."

Lou Wanghai: "Look, Xiaobai said it's all right."

Shen Mu: ...

Shen Mu struggled for a long time before saying: "Okay, I will go for you. Don't blame me if you can't find out."

Lou Wanghai: "Naturally, naturally."

Shen Mu whispered to his apprentice again: "You go in, and I will use magic to seal your sight, and mosaic the scenes you shouldn't see."

Long Xiaoye: "What is a mosaic?"

Shen Mu realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a blurred picture."

Long Xiaoye let out an "oh", and didn't seem to care.

The group made a plan, and it was not until the next afternoon that Shen Mu changed into a down-and-out scholar's attire and took his apprentice to Zuichunlou.Lou Wanghai was in charge of responding outside.

At this point in time, there were almost no guests in the Zuichun Tower, the girls were all up, huddling together in small groups to talk.

When Shen Mu and the two walked in, everyone's eyes were focused.

Shen Mu changed into an old robe that was washed white, and changed his face again. There were thick bruises under his eyes, and he looked thin and haggard, like an addict who smoked Wushisan.

But the child beside him looked as if he had come out of a painting.

The girls looked down on the drug addict the most, and when they saw the drug addict coming with a beautiful child, they all looked down with contempt.

Shen Mu pretended not to see, and asked with a smile, "May I ask if mom is here?"

A woman in green replied: "Not here. Go, go, go quickly."

This woman is sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, but her attitude is very stiff.

Shen Mu ignored her and shouted loudly: "Is mom there?"

All the women: "Go away if you are told, what the hell are you shouting here?"

The girls rushed forward and drove the two of them straight to the door.

Shen Mu held his apprentice with one hand, and put the other hand on the door frame and shouted: "I will never leave unless I see my mother."

The girls were about to push people away, when a middle-aged woman came out: "What are you doing? Are you free to eat when you're full?"

The girls shrank their heads like frightened quail when they heard the sound.

The old bustard came over and looked Shen Mu and Long Xiaoye up and down: "What's the matter, my lord?"

Shen Mu straightened his robes, and said with a smile: "I'm in the middle of my family..."

Before he finished speaking, the bustard interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense. How much money do you want to sell?"

Shen Mu pushed the child forward: "How much do you think it's worth?"

The bustard: "Twelve taels."

Shen Mu: "Such a good-looking child is only twelve?"

Long Xiao pretended to be wild and cried: "Daddy, please don't betray me, please."

His voice was tender and sweet, and the old bustard's eyes flashed with joy, and he stretched out two fingers: "20 taels, no more."

Shen Mu: "Can I take a look at the environment first and think about it?"

The old bustard: "I've never seen a woman like you. This is a brothel, what kind of environment do you want to inspect? I told you that my little brother eats delicious food and drinks hot food, and he won't accept any grievances. Do you believe it?"

Shen Mu: "Then I won't sell it."

After Shen Mu finished speaking, she took her "son" and left.

The old bustard stomped anxiously: "Hey, wait a minute. Forget it, there's no business anyway, so you can watch it if you want."

Shen Mu bowed: "Thank you, Mom."

The old bustard called a turtle slave and ordered in a low voice: "Take them to Miantang Pavilion and keep an eye on them."

Gui Nu responded and led Shen Mu and the two inside.

"The most famous son here lives in the Miantang Pavilion, who is both talented and talented..." Gui Nu boasted as he walked.

Shen Mu interrupted: "May I ask who is the oiran lady here? When I have money, I will go to the meeting."

Gui Nu: "Bah! The oiran is also something you can think about with your little money?"

Shen Mu sneered: "Men, who wouldn't want to?"

Gui Nu glared at him and sighed, "It's a pity that you came a few days late. Now even if you have money, you can't see the oiran."

Shen Mu: "Why?"

Gui Nu: "Ah, a few days ago, a guest died in the oiran's room immediately. But the guest was very powerful, and the government did not dare to offend the oiran, so he arrested the oiran, and he will be executed soon."

Shen Mu: "There is still this matter? It's really pitiful. What is the origin of the guest?"

Gui Nu: "I heard it's Qin... What are you doing asking about this?"

Shen Mu: "I didn't inquire, I didn't inquire. Just chat."

Gui Nu sighed: "Oh, since this case came out, the business in the building has been in decline."

Shen Mu: "Then it seems that I have to change to a place with better business."

The turtle slave is anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about? The business here is the best in the city. The guests who want to get close to Mr. Miantang have been waiting for two months. If you can learn half of Mr. Miantang's skills, your son will be the best. The ancestors have accumulated virtue."

After hearing these words, Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

After the original owner was sold into Zuichun Building, it is said that the place where he lived was once a very popular young lady.Later, the young man offended the guest, was tortured to death, and threw his body into the wilderness.

Could it be this Mr. Miantang?

At this time, the three of them had arrived at the inner courtyard.Guinu pointed to a small building not far away and said, "That's the residence of Mr. Miantang."

Shen Mu glanced at it, and the hairs all over his body stood on end in fright.

The scenes of humiliation were backtracked one after another, and Shen Mu was terrified and messed up in the wind.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Long Xiaoye asked secretly.

Shen Mu's mouth was dry, and he swallowed hard: "Go back, go back."

Long Xiaoye burst into tears immediately, and sat on the ground: "Father, I'm not a waitress, I won't go, I won't go."

Shen Mu got off the donkey: "If you don't go, you won't go. Dad will think of a way."

The two walked out without looking back, leaving only the turtle slave shouting behind: "Don't go, other places can't afford our price."

Shen Mu came out of the Zuichun building, his face was already pale, but fortunately he changed his face, so Lou Wanghai, who was responding, could not see it.

Lou Wanghai: "How is it?"

Shen Mu: "Oiran is in the prison of the government, let's go for a walk when it gets dark."

Lou Wanghai: "Okay."

The author has something to say: I have a dream: to find a place where the winter is warm and the summer is cool to code, and sleep until I wake up naturally instead of being woken up by heat.
