My master is the coffin

Chapter 15

People have three urgencies, I know this is a natural rule, and I can't resist it.However, I was just too sleepy.

I muttered silently in my heart: "Be patient, be patient, you won't know anything when you fall asleep."

Thinking about it this way, sure enough, I soon fell asleep again.However, in the dream I was always looking for the toilet, and every time I just found it, I woke up again at a critical moment.

I had to get up, put on my clothes quickly, and pee on the bed if I didn't think about it.

I quietly got up from the bed and walked into the yard in the dark. It was very dark here, only the long light on the main hall was still shining dimly. I stood in the corner tremblingly and began to solve my physical needs.

I'm a college student, highly educated, and I'm not supposed to defecate anywhere.But today's situation is special, so we have to act urgently.

By the way, I just finished solving it, and when I turned around to go back to the house, I suddenly realized something was wrong.

There have always been two ever-burning lamps on the main hall, one on the left and one on the left, but now I clearly see three flames.

My heart tightened suddenly: "What's the matter? Some people are so boring, can't they light an extra lamp inside?"

I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look. The two lights were placed on the left and right, and there was nothing wrong with that.However, another candle came out and was placed on the ground.

I hesitated for a while, and finally walked over gently.

I stood at the door and looked inside quietly. The one-inch-long flame of the extra candle in the hall was burning fiercely.

Other than that, there are no changes.

I'm a little confused, what does this mean?Someone came in late at night, lit a candle and left?
Suddenly, my eyes fell on the pit.After the coffin was dug out, the pit was never filled.

Thinking of this, I walked in out of nowhere.I want to see if there is any movement in the pit.

Along the way, I was watching the wind and grass around me.When I approached the pit, suddenly, I noticed a slight breathing sound, the sound was very small, very light...

I was instantly alert.It was at this time that I found a trail of footprints going all the way into the pit we had dug during the day.

Could it be that someone climbed down?

Is it Zhang Yuan?This guy was dug out from under the ghost market by us. Although he can eat and walk, subconsciously, I always feel that he is weird. It seems that I have guessed it. He ran into the pit by himself at night, What exactly do you want to do?
I suddenly remembered that the abbot and I wanted to fill in the hole during the day, but he refused to let it go.I understand, he wants to keep it for the night.

I hesitated for a while, but finally my curiosity prevailed. I held my breath and approached the pit step by step.

At this moment, suddenly a cold hand rested on my shoulder.

Caught off guard, I was so frightened that my body sweated instantly, and I couldn't help but let out a low cry from my throat, but at this moment, another hand covered my mouth.

Then, someone whispered in my ear: "Don't talk."

I heard this voice a bit familiar, and turned around tremblingly, it was actually Zhang Yuan.

The light of the fire shone on his face, jumping and jumping, making his face look cloudy and uncertain.

I'm a little surprised, why is he outside?I thought he was lying in the pit.

I asked cautiously, "Master, are you alright?"

That ghostly smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's face again: "Today I will teach you the first lesson, so that you can see the shadows of people."

He let go of his hand slowly, then pointed into the pit: "Go and have a look."

I shook my head: "I won't go."

Impatient, he urged in a low voice, "Go if you are told."

I asked worriedly: "You won't push me down?"

He waved his hand impatiently: "I'm full? Why push you?"

While aiming at him from the corner of my eye, I walked slowly towards the edge of the pit, and then I probed into it.

At this glance, I saw a person lying in the coffin.By the light of the candle, this person was a thin Taoist priest in monk's robe.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart, and I quickly jumped away, with my back against the house wall, fully alert, looking at Zhang Yuan, and asked: "Why did you put him in the pit? What do you want? Buried alive!" ?”

Zhang Yuan looked at me strangely, then shook his head: "I didn't put it in, but he crawled in by himself?"

This sentence surprised me a lot: "What? He crawled in by himself?"

Master nodded: "Just now he walked in with a candle, and then lay down."

I scratched my head: "Sleepwalking?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the skinny Taoist priest in the pit: "It doesn't look like it. Have you noticed his shadow?"

I waved my hand: "Master, what are you kidding? There are candles on the top of the pit, and he is lying in the pit, and there is a shadow under him, how could we see it?"

Zhang Yuan suddenly reached out, grabbed my collar, and pressed my head into the pit: "Will you take a closer look?"

I struggled twice, but I couldn't break free.It seems that he recovered very quickly, and he is no longer the weak look he had when he just came back to life.

It was at this time that I saw the shadow of the skinny Taoist priest.That's right, I saw the shadow of the skinny Taoist priest from an unimaginable angle.

To be exact, two shadows.

The skinny Taoist lay at the bottom of the pit.On the pit wall, one left and one right, two symmetrical figures appeared.

Inexplicably, I suddenly remembered Li Bai's poem "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows form three people". I didn't feel much when I read this poem before, but now I see this situation for real, and I can't help but feel chills in my heart.

I retracted my head and asked Zhang Yuan: "Why does he have two shadows? And the angle is wrong. Light travels in a straight line, which doesn't seem to conform to the laws of physics..."

Zhang Yuan pulled me out of the hall: "One of these two shadows is not his own. The remaining one is his own, and it seems that he is about to leave his body."

I was inexplicably surprised: "Why is this happening?"

Zhang Yuan looked up at the sky full of stars, then sighed, and said, "Go to school tomorrow and find out if there is anything unusual about this little Taoist priest recently. Then, let's discuss it in the long run."

The more he said that, the more serious the situation became, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the skinny Taoist priest?"

He waved his hand: "Don't ask, just do as I say. My body has not recovered yet, and I need to rest and rest."

Then he sent me back to sleep.

Let the candles burn quietly in that room, and let the skinny Taoist lie in the coffin.

Back in the house, I lay on my bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at all.As long as I close my eyes, I feel like I am lying in a coffin, and the thin Taoist priest is beside me, and he smiles at me from time to time, showing his white teeth.

I just stared at it like this, suffering all the time.

Suddenly, I felt a fire moving outside the window and reflected in from the window.

I hurriedly turned my head to look outside. At this moment, the door of the room rang stubbornly.

I want to sit up and see who it is.However, the next second, I dismissed the idea.

Because at this time I could see clearly that the person walking over was the skinny Taoist priest, holding a candle in his hand, walking towards my bed step by step.

I didn't dare to move, I squinted my eyes and pretended to be asleep, looking through the slits of my eyes to see what the skinny Taoist was up to.

The skinny Taoist priest walked up to me holding a candle, and looked at it carefully. Although his eyes were open, they were dull and not focused at all.

The guy looked at it for a while, then put his head down and sniffed at me.

I feel the breath in his nose is cold.My face was a little numb from the cold.Also, I noticed a strong smell of alcohol.

I was scared and wanted to push him away, but at this moment, I suddenly found that I couldn't move at all.When you are in a hurry.

Suddenly, the skinny Taoist stood up, held the candle and left.

After the skinny Taoist priest left, I started to break out in cold sweat, which was followed by hot sweat. I was always frightened and frightened this night, and I was about to collapse.

I took out my phone and looked at it, it was four in the morning.

I sighed in shock, and was about to relax when suddenly I heard footsteps outside.My heart became tense again in an instant: Could it be that the skinny Taoist priest can go and come back again?
I couldn't decide whether to continue pretending to be asleep or hide.While hesitating, I heard someone beside the bed whispering, "The rooster is crowing."

I was taken aback when I heard this: "Is the rooster crowing?" This is a city, and there are no chickens at all.

I was wondering when suddenly there was a sound from the window, and then Zhang Yuan poked his face in and said to me: "Come out, don't worry, the rooster is crowing."

I said to him, "What chicken? Is there any chicken here?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, and said calmly: "When the rooster crows, it means dawn, and all the little ghosts have to avoid it. Although the rooster crows are not heard now, the time has not changed."

I nodded thoughtfully, it turned out to be the case.

After I got dressed and walked out of the house slowly, I suddenly thought of something, and quickly grabbed Zhang Yuan: "You mean, the skinny Taoist went back in a hurry because of the crowing of the cock? So you say that?" If so, is he a ghost?"

Zhang Yuan didn't answer me, but just waved his hand and said to me: "You can do what I told you last night."

At this time, I suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuan asked me to go to school last night to find out if the skinny Taoist priest had anything unusual recently.

I looked at the sky, it was just dawn, so I yawned: "Let me go back to sleep, and then finish my breakfast..."

But Zhang Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed my collar, and shouted, "Go now."

Then, without any explanation, he pushed and kicked me out of the Dasheng Temple.

I thought angrily in my heart: "Old thing, you have recovered, right? It wasn't the time when you just crawled out of the pit and begged me to help you."
