. Wang Lihong looked at Tukamunfu in front of him and asked the question in his heart: "Why did you stop us from saving my companion just now?" ”

"He has fallen into a curse, and the ritual of the Guardian is not to be disturbed, and if you continue like this, not only will you not be able to save him, but you may also bury yourself." Tukamunv said.

"Cursed? What curse? Wang Lihong asked puzzled.

Tukamunfu said to Wang Lihong, "As soon as you step into the realm of this city of the dead, you will trigger the curse set by Pharaoh Menes and become a member of the Guardians until you die. ”

"You mean the camel bells?" Wang Lihong suddenly remembered what happened before and asked.

Tukamunv shook his head and said, "No one knows what form the curse takes, because those who have fallen under the curse have been turned into bones. ”

Wang Lihong thought about it carefully, and felt that it was wrong, so he said: "Then this is unreasonable, we were with Professor Wang when the curse was triggered, if he was cursed, then we should not be able to escape, but why are we okay?" ”

"That's because of the pharaoh's thing on you." Tukamunv shifted his body as if he were a giant rat dressed in a humanoid cloak.

When Wang Lihong heard him say this, he was even more surprised, and asked, "How do you know that we have pharaoh's things on us?" ”

"It's not that I know, but I'm guessing, because no one is spared except the Pharaoh and those who possess the Pharaoh's things, who have access to this town without being affected by the curse." Tukamunv said it very simply.

"Since you are a servant of God, then you should be on their side, why should you help us?" Wang Lihong became vigilant when he asked this, because he was afraid that this guy had ulterior motives.

"Young man, I feel a strange power in you, though I don't know where it comes from. But it's unusually powerful. Maybe you can help me fulfill my dream for many years. Tukamunv said with some excitement.

Wang Lihong felt very nonsense in her heart, and thought: "You are already like this, and you still have dreams?" But he didn't say anything.

"Do you know how to rescue my stepfather?" Lan Xi asked this crucial question.

Tukamunv looked at the burning candlelight, as if remembering, and said, "If you want to save him, the only way is to break the curse." But a lot can be sacrificed. ”

"And how do you break this curse?" Lan Xi asked urgently.

Tukamunfu looked at Wang Lihong, with a strange look in his eyes, and said faintly: "This is waiting for a special time to come." ”

Wang Lihong felt that this person was very strange, of course, not because of his appearance and body, but because this person seemed to hide an indescribable feeling, and his intuition told Wang Lihong that there was something wrong with this person.

"Alright, thank you just for the reminder, but we have to go." For safety insurance. Wang Lihong didn't plan to stay here with Lan Xi, so he had to leave under the pretext.

Tukamunv didn't keep them either, and the moment they walked out of the door, he said, "We'll meet again!" ”

Wang Lihong didn't pay too much attention to this sentence, and thought: "Hehe, if you are so confident, you must be sure that I want to ask you to help save people." ”

Left, Tukamunv's house. Wang Lihong looked at this ancient city again, and he always felt that there was something hidden in this ancient city. Wang Lihong knows. That's a power, a very powerful force.

"Lihong, why do you want to go, let him help save his father-in-law." Lan Xi didn't understand why Wang Lihong insisted on leaving.

Wang Lihong took Lan Xi's hand and walked quickly, saying as he walked, "Don't you feel it." That man was very strange, it was too dangerous to stay there. ”

Feeling that staying in this city was too evil, Wang Lihong and Lan Xi went out of the city, and arrived at each other where their hearts and camels were, but fortunately, these things were still there.

"I think we should go to that stone house." Wang Lihong suddenly remembered that outside the eastern walls of the Twilight City. The small stone house they saw.

This building is very small, like this twilight city, it is also built of stone, and it is just built on the edge of the city wall, it looks like a sentinel residence from a distance, maybe no one has found it at all, if it is not for the lights on inside, Wang Lihong probably will not have found it.

With the memory of the two of them, they finally found their way out.

"There seems to be a light over there." Lan Xi saw the stone house and shouted to Wang Lihong.

"Let's go and have a look." Wang Lihong pulled Lan Xi and was about to go over there.

Lan Xi reminded Wang Lihong: "Lihong, aren't you afraid that it is the same as the person just now, or a gang?" ”

Wang Lihong saw Lan Xi reminding him, so he said to him: "In this way, I'll go over and take a look first, you stay here, and if the situation doesn't work for me, I'll greet you immediately." OK？ ”

"Okay!" Lan Xi could only agree.

Wang Lihong slowly touched it, although it was dark in the desert, it was not so dark that it was ridiculously dark, coupled with Wang Lihong's night vision, he quickly approached the small stone house.

Wang Lihong tiptoed past the back, and through a small window, he saw an old man cooking.

The old man looked seventy or eighty years old, dressed in a white gown, with a scarf tied around his head, and a very fast gold ornament hanging from his chest, and his dark complexion made him look a little old, but he also had a sense of refinement.

"I didn't expect this place to have guests." The old man stirred the food in the hanging pot without raising his head.

Wang Lihong's heart sank, but he didn't expect that he was discovered, so he generously walked to the front door to knock.

The door opened, and the old man opened the door, glanced at Wang Lihong, and then said to him, "Let's go, this place is not where you should come." "Say that, and then you have to close the door.

Wang Lihong immediately pressed the door and said to him politely: "Old man, we need your help." ”

The old man said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

"You don't know what I want you to help, how do you know you can't help me?" Wang Lihong asked him rhetorically.

The old man said, "Call her over, I happened to be cooking." ”

Wang Lihong thanked again and again, turned around and went to call Lan Xi over, but he wondered in his heart: "How does this old man know that there are still people?" ”

Lan Xi came over with a very nervous heart, and saw that this was an old man who looked normal for everything, so he was a little relieved.

The old man said very little, basically didn't talk much, and supported two bowls of soup for Wang Lihong and Lan Xi, and took a bowl himself, and drank it slowly.

They didn't dare to drink this Wang Lihong, after all, this is the first time they have seen it, and they are still in such a strange place, what if it is poisonous. But seeing that the old man also took a bowl from the pot and drank it too, they dared to speak.

I drank a bowl of broth and ate a few lumps of meat, which made me feel more comfortable.

"Old man, you ...... How do you live here alone? Wang Lihong began to ask tentatively.

"No why." The old man replied succinctly.

"Then why didn't you fall under that curse?" Wang Lihong felt that this old man was definitely not simple, and he had nothing to scruple about.

"Young man, don't ask so much, rest here tonight, and leave tomorrow, this is not the other party you should come to." The old man avoided answering Wang Lihong's question and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

This house is very simple, there are some necessary furniture for life, nothing else, even pots and bowls are very rough kind.

Lan Xi originally wanted to ask something again, but was stopped by Wang Lihong and gave her a look.

The three of them were crammed into a room, there was only one stone bed in the room, and the old man gave it to Lan Xi, and he and Wang Lihong slept together.

In the past half a day, I have experienced too many things, and when I think of where Wang Zhichu is still going around in circles, Wang Lihong's heart is very worried, and he can't sleep after tossing and turning.

Lan Xi was the same, she didn't close her eyes all night, and she always kept thinking of Wang Zhichu's weird smiling face. Why did the stepfather laugh? What he saw, or how, she couldn't figure out.
