My master is the coffin

Chapter 49
The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when murderers and arsonists.

The three of us, two ghosts, recharge our batteries and have a full meal.When it was just getting dark, they quietly opened the gate of the Dasheng Temple and walked out in unison.

The lights were dim, and the figures were erratic.

It was an unusually quiet night, with only the sound of our footsteps on the road.The wind blows the trees, the leaves fall and the water wrinkles.

I looked at the river outside the Dasheng Temple, and inexplicably, a sense of sadness rose in my heart.The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.

Touching the scene, I am singing quietly.Suddenly the abbot smirked in my ears, completely disrupting the atmosphere.

I glared at him and said dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at?"

The abbot pointed to the river and said, "You can sing out of this stinky river? Xu You, what can you really pretend..."

Zhizha Wu waved to us: "Don't talk nonsense, cheer up." Then, he lit a white paper lantern, held it in his hand, and asked us to line up and follow behind him.

Our group walked slowly like this, and occasionally someone coughed once or twice, which was obviously very abrupt at night.

Zhang Yuan's soul has left the paper figurine, and he is walking with the old man carrying a mahogany sword.

Zhang Yuan asked the old man: "How is it? Is there enough time?"

The old man nodded: "At one o'clock, my Yang life will be exhausted, and it's still early. Let's arrive early and prepare well."

All of us in the group held mahogany swords in their hands, and looked like we were ready for battle.The best equipment is Abbot and Zhi Zha Wu.These two people regret their lives.Not only did they each have a sword, but they were also plastered with ghost-suppressing charms all over their bodies.

When we walked near the coffin shop, we found two more lanterns hanging there.

Zhang Yuan and the others quietly discussed: "As soon as these two lanterns are hung, it means that the people in the coffin shop are waiting for souls. It seems that another soul has been sent over today."

The old man smiled wryly: "Isn't this soul just me?"

We checked around the coffin shop and finally agreed.The old man lured the enemy at the crossroads.Zhang Yuan hid on a big tree and played by ear.And I, the abbot, and Zhi Zha Wu hid in the corner, planning to rush to the coffin shop while the mute was fighting with the old man, and rescue him.

Everything is ready.Just waiting for one o'clock in the morning.

The old man sat cross-legged at the crossroads, the mahogany sword on his back was faintly emitting green light, and his body was also faintly emitting green light, illuminating his kind face with a bit of viciousness.

Suddenly, Zhi Zha Wu whispered in my ear: "It's coming."

Then, I saw the door of the coffin shop slowly open.A person came out lightly from the inside, and it wasn't someone who was dumb.

Standing at the door of the coffin shop, the mute saw the old man at the crossroads.Then, he strode towards the old man.

The abbot urged Zhi Zhawu: "Let's steal someone while he's not at home, and run away after stealing."

Zhi Zha Wu shook his head: "No, no. We have to check the situation first. If the old man makes a move and the family is wiped out, won't we be stuck inside?"

The abbot gave Zhizha Wu a thumbs up.

The mute didn't seem to take the old man seriously, grabbed his body with both hands, took out an iron chain, and slipped it around the old man's neck.That action was so random that he almost treated the old man like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The old man was sitting on the ground calmly, but at the moment when the iron chain was about to reach his neck, he suddenly dodged at a very fast speed. At the same time, the peach wood sword with a bright green glow cut towards the mute.

The mute obviously didn't expect the old man to resist, snorted, and quickly hid back, but the distance between the two of them was too close, and the mahogany sword still slashed at him.

Then I heard a harsh crash.Like an iron sword hitting a stone.

The old man's mahogany sword failed to penetrate the mute's body.

The mute stretched out his hand silently and knocked the old man to the ground.

Seeing this posture, the three of us were all disheartened: "It's over, the dumb is too good, the old man is not good at all, let's withdraw."

The three of us are discussing escape.Suddenly he heard the old man shout: "I can do it myself." Then, he stabbed himself with the mahogany sword in his hand.

I couldn't see what happened next.I saw a green light shining, wrapping the old man and the mute in it.In that piece of green light, ghosts and wolves were howling, I heard it in my ears, a burst of fear came from my heart, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.

At this time, a figure rushed towards us.I was startled, and was about to swing my sword to meet the enemy, but saw that this person was Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan pointed to the door of the coffin shop: "The old man entangled the mute with the evil souls he collected over the years. But he can't hold on for long, let's hurry up."

Then, the four of us hurried to the coffin shop.

The coffin shop was very quiet, just like when we first came here.Candles were lit in front of the coffin.I know that in every coffin here lies a dead man.

We walked around the coffins carefully, not daring to touch anything.Even the most reckless abbot walked cautiously.

Then, we walked to the innermost room, where the black lacquered coffin was put in place, exactly the same as a few days ago.

Zhang Yuan looked at me and the abbot: "Go and open the coffin."

The abbot and I agreed, one left and one right, and pushed the coffin lid away.

The beautiful woman inside closed her eyes tightly and lay down comfortably.

I couldn't help clapping my hands: "It's done, it went so smoothly."

Elder Zhang Yuan burst into tears, stretched out his hand, and groped inside the coffin: "I've grown so big, I've grown so big."

Zhi Zha Wu urged: "Stop dawdling, you can talk whatever you want when we go back, hurry up and leave now."

Zhang Yuan nodded again and again: "Hurry up, hurry up. Xu You, help me carry her."

I happily agreed.He stretched out his hand to lift the beauty out of the coffin.

Suddenly, Zhizha Wu shouted, "Wait a minute."

I was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhi Zha Wu lowered his head, looked inside the coffin carefully for a while, then raised his head with a wry smile: "We are in serious trouble."

I was about to cry: "What's wrong?"

Zhi Zha Wu pointed to the inside of the coffin: "Look carefully."

At this time, I saw many complicated patterns painted on the inside of the coffin, like a net, enclosing the beauties inside.

Zhang Yuan smiled wryly: "No wonder the mute is so relieved to deal with the old man outside. It turns out that the coffin has a forbidden curse. I guess, as long as we carry her out of the coffin, the dead bodies outside will come out."

The abbot and I looked at each other, and couldn't help saying in unison: "It's a fluke."

Both of us remembered the time we visited the coffin shop at night a few days ago.Just taking out a mahogany sword from the coffin provoked the siege of those dead bodies.If we really got this beauty out at that time, the two of us would definitely not be able to escape that day.

The four of us were worrying about the coffin, when suddenly, there was a scream from a distance, which clearly belonged to the old man.

Zhi Zha Wu's face changed: "It's bad, he can't hold on anymore. Old Zhang, we can't save this person today, let's get out."

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "If we withdraw today, we won't even be able to enter the door next time. We must rescue people."

Zhi Zha Wu stomped his feet: "Think clearly, as long as we move your daughter, those dead bodies outside will definitely wrap us up, and the mute will come back in just a few minutes, and we will all die here."

Zhang Yuan suddenly laughed: "Old man Wu, there is no way to break this forbidden curse. I guess, you must know."

Zhi Zha Wu's expression changed: "Zhang Yuan, this is not the time to be joking."

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly: "Anyway, my physical body is gone. Let me replace my daughter. She has been lying in this coffin until she is 20 years old. Youth is not easy, so I can't lie down anymore."

Zhi Zha Wu looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise, and finally nodded: "I'll make you a paper man."

The abbot and I could not help but ask: "What are you two doing?"

Zhi Zha Wu couldn't see the outline clearly with both hands, and kept drawing on a piece of white paper.While drawing a human figure, he said: "This forbidden curse is designed for the soul of the girl. And your master and this girl are father and daughter, and their souls have something in common. If I use a paper doll to help him disguise , should be able to hide the truth and replace the girl."

I was shocked when I heard that, and looked at Zhang Yuan: "Master, do you want to stay here?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and smiled faintly: "Xu You, I will not be able to urge you to practice in the future, and you must not relax yourself."

I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I don't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, the abbot spoke uprightly and said, "You stay here, what about the curse on Xu You? After you die, your soul will fly away."

Zhang Yuan looked at the beautiful woman in the coffin: "My daughter also has a curse on her body. Originally, I planned to take the two of you to do this big event. Now, you can only rely on yourselves. After you escape, don't worry about it. Stay here. You have to go as far away as possible."

I stared at him, feeling a little guilty, and suddenly said, "Where am I going to escape? I haven't received my graduation certificate yet."

Zhang Yuan looked at the paper figurine drawn by Zhi Zha Wu, and said calmly: "For hundreds of years, there has been a legend that the wizard fled to the present Xi'an area after the battle in the underworld. You go there to find him. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask old man Wu, this kid has thought of everything to save his life, he knows no less than me.” Then he looked at Zhizha Wu: “Old man Wu, help them order.”

Zhi Zha Wu smiled wryly: "You guys are really attached to me. Old Zhang, come on."

At this time, I saw that the paper man had been drawn.only.This paper figurine is wearing a skirt and has long hair. It is the image of a girl.

Zhizha Wu explained: "This paper figurine is a substitute for a girl. It should be no problem to replace it with your master's soul."
