My master is the coffin

Chapter 348 Dead City
It was exactly midnight when we returned to the world.Wushuang's expression was always confused, and I never saw her smile again.I'm worried about her, but I don't know how to comfort her.

We could only walk towards Dasheng Village in silence.Because our body is there.

I don't know if it is a shadow left in the underworld or what, I always feel that the atmosphere in the world is a bit weird.But what's wrong, I can't tell.In short, a little lifeless.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and the street lights were on alone.A few of us walked side by side on the road, and our figures dragged us along for a long time.

I said to everyone: "When we arrive at Dasheng Village, we must be careful. The abbot is no longer the original abbot."

The sloppy Taoist looked at me and asked, "What do you mean?"

I said: "The abbot has recovered his memory and morality. Don't forget, he doesn't seem to be our friend."

The fat man argued: "We've been together for so long, so he won't be able to deal with us."

I shook my head: "Who knows?"

A few minutes later, Wushuang suddenly spoke.She said to me: "Xu You, do you think this place is a bit strange?"

Wushuang spoke, which means that she has started to face something positively.I was very happy, nodded and said: "Yes, it's a bit strange here."

Wushuang pointed to the surrounding streets and said, "Look, this place hasn't been cleaned for many days."

When Wu Shuang said this, I suddenly understood why I felt so strange just now.In the whole city, except for street lamps, not a single store or house was lit.And, apart from a few of us, there was no sound anymore.

We looked at each other, and said in a panic: "Where are people? Where are the people in this city?"

The sloppy Taoist priest scratched his head: "It's not right, it's not right. The underworld has been calmed down, and no one is arresting living souls. In the human world, there should be no more trouble."

The thin man added: "That's right. Moreover, when we entered the underworld, there were still many people in the world. It is impossible for all of them to be arrested."

I drew the mahogany sword from my waist: "Shall we go and have a look around? I'm worried that the whole Taiyuan has become a dead city."

The fat man hesitated and said, "I want to get back into my body sooner. It's summer now, what if my body rots?"

The thin man thought for a while, pointed to a neighborhood in front of him and said, "Anyway, it's on the way there, let's go and have a look."

We have not had an easy journey along the way.When I was waiting for the neighborhood, I rushed in impatiently with my mahogany sword in hand.

Dim corridors with no lights.Musty smell.

I suddenly felt a little afraid of this place, and regretted rushing in too soon.So, I started to slow down, intentionally waiting for Wushuang and the others.

It wasn't until I heard familiar footsteps behind me that I was sure they had arrived.

"Shall we go in?" I asked.

The thin man's voice came over, and he said, "Can this door be opened?"

I said: "There is no need to open the door, we are souls. It is very easy to go through this door."

So, I groped my way through.

If the spirit wants to go through a door, or a wall.That feeling is like passing through a piece of tofu.You need to hold your breath and squeeze forward hard.If the wall is very thick, if you can't squeeze in for a long time, you will be suffocated inside.

I've walked through walls countless times, but today I can't get through anyway.

I thought to myself: "It's strange, it's strange, why can't I get in? Is there a Dao talisman on this door?"

Wushuang came over, groped for a while, and said strangely: "No, this door is normal." Then, she began to chop the door with a mahogany sword.

The iron door was banged by us.We are not afraid to alarm the host.Instead, we want the Master to come out.

A few minutes later, the iron door was smashed open.We rushed in.

I fumbled around the door for a while, trying to turn on the light.But I flipped the switch twice.Nothing happens.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grabbing me.I was startled and just about to pull back.Suddenly, this hand squeezed me hard, as if reminding me of something.

Then, I heard Wushuang's voice in my ear: "Look at the window."

It was dark in the room.Because the curtains were drawn.But curtains are different from walls after all, they don't completely cut off light.

The streetlights outside came in, and the windows were much brighter than other places.I wanted to take a look over there, and it was obvious that there was someone standing there.

This man is thinner than the skinny man and a head shorter than us.Obviously, not any of us.

We who had just resigned and were still talking suddenly became quiet.Obviously, they all spotted the person next to the bed.

Then, came the voice of the fat man, his voice was very small, obviously worried that the person beside the bed would hear: "Brother, I found a box of matches."

The thin man whispered, "Click on."

Immediately, I heard a stabbing sound, and a flash of fire flashed out.I didn't care to adapt to the sudden light.His eyes widened, staring fixedly at the bedside.

Then, I saw a wrinkled old lady looking at us with a smile on her face.

In the middle of the night, when I suddenly saw such an old lady, I couldn't help being startled.However, when I looked more closely, the old lady was gone.

I looked at Wushuang in surprise: "Did you see anyone just now?"

Wushuang nodded: "I saw an old lady."

I nodded: "I saw it too."

Then, there was a silence.

We found half a candle on the table.Then it lit.

Only then did I realize that there were many candles in this room.It seems that the owner is used to using candles instead of lighting.

We went around here and found nothing.The house is, indeed, empty.Moreover, it seems that no one has been here for a long time.

The thin man said, "Shall we have a look at another neighborhood?"

We nod.Walk out of here silently.Then rush in the direction of Dasheng Village.

Along the way, every time we pass by a community, we will go to see it.Each time, however, our suspicions were confirmed.This city has indeed become a dead city.

I shook my head again and again: "How is this possible? This is impossible. Where are the millions of people? Even if they are killed, the corpses will pile up into mountains."

No one can answer my question, no one knows the answer.We hurried to Dasheng Village.

Everyone's mood is no longer easy.Because it was obvious that something had happened here.What about our bodies?Will something happen to my body?
I suddenly remembered the warning from the water ghost in the underworld.He told me to beware of the abbot.Because it can be seen that the abbot deliberately concealed his situation, or wanted to harm us.

And we just handed over our bodies to the abbot to take care of us.Will he be against us?

We can already see Dasheng Village from a distance.The closer you get, the heavier your heart becomes.Dasheng Village is the same as the urban area, it is dark, and no house is lit.

The absence of lights doesn't mean much, though.Residents in the village have never had the habit of lighting lamps at night.

We groped our way to our cousin's house.The gate was not locked.Almost wide open.

I called out, "Abbot?"

The abbot ignored us.

We went into the yard.Push the door open again and walk into the house.It was quiet along the way.There is no sound.

The fat man lit the match in his hand.Firelight illuminated the house.

The house was kept very clean.This cleanliness makes us despair.Because our bodies are gone.

The sloppy Taoist sat down on the ground: "What's going on? Have we become lonely ghosts?"

Wushuang gritted his teeth and paced the room.She repeated over and over: "Find the abbot, we have to find the abbot."

I didn't want to discourage her, but I had to ask, "Where do we find it?"

Wushuang sighed, and said, "I don't know either. Now, none of us can see, even if we want to find out the whereabouts of the abbot."

We are people who practice the Tao. If we lose our body, we can use the dead body to bring back the soul, so that we will not die.Although a borrowed body is inconvenient, it is better than a lonely ghost.It's just that our situation is very dangerous now, and we definitely can't solve it with just a corpse.

We all sense that someone is secretly trying to work against us.
