Chapter 348: Dead City

When we came back to earth, it was the middle of the night. Wushuang's expression has always been confused, and I never saw her smile again. I was worried about her, but I didn't know how to comfort her.

We could only walk towards the Great Holy Village in silence. Because our bodies are there.

I don't know if it's left a shadow in the underworld or what's going on, but I always feel that the atmosphere in the world is a little weird. But what was wrong, I couldn't tell≀ it was a little lifeless.

There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the street lights were lonely and on. A few of us walked side by side on the road, and the figure dragged the elder.

I said to everyone, "Be careful when we get to Dasheng Village in a moment. The abbot is no longer the abbot he used to be. ”

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

I said, "The abbot has regained his memory and his ways. Don't forget, he doesn't seem to be our friend. ”

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

I shook my head: "Who knows?" ”

After a few minutes, Wushuang suddenly spoke. She said to me, "Xu You, do you think it's a little strange here? ”

Wushuang spoke, which meant that she had begun to face one thing positively. I was pleased, nodded and said, "yes, it's a little weird here." ”

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

As soon as Wushuang said this, I suddenly understood why I felt so strange just now. In the whole city, except for the street lamps, there is not a single shop, not a single room is lit. And, apart from a few of us, there was no sound.

We glanced at each other and said in a bit of a panic, "What about people? Where have all the people in this city gone? ”

The sloppy Taoist priest scratched his head: "Something is wrong, something is wrong, the realm has been calmed, and no one is arresting the living soul anymore." In the world, there shouldn't be any more things. ”

The thin man added, "That's right. Moreover, when we entered the underworld, there were many people in the world. It can't all be caught. ”

I pulled out my peachwood sword from my waist, "Shall we go around and have a look?" I'm worried that the whole of Taiyuan has become a dead city. ”

The fat man said with some hesitation: "I want to go back to my body as soon as possible." It's summer, what if the body rots? ”

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

It wasn't an easy one. When I came to the community, I carried a peachwood sword and rushed in.

There are no lights in the dimly lit corridors. It smells of mildew.

I suddenly felt a little scared of this place, and regretted rushing in too soon. So, I began to slow down and deliberately wait for a few people.

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

I asked, "Shall we go in?" ”

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

I said, "You don't have to open the door, we're spirits." It's easy to get through this door. ”

So, I fumbled to get through.

If the spirit wants to go through a door, or a wall. It feels like walking through a piece of tofu. You need to hold your breath and squeeze forward hard. If the wall is so thick that you can't squeeze in it for a long time, you'll suffocate inside.

I've walked through walls countless times, and yet today I can't go through them anyway.

I said secretly, "Strange, strange, why can't I get in?" Could it be that there is a talisman on this door? ”

Wushuang walked over, fumbled for a while, and said strangely: "No, this door is normal." Then, she began to slash the door with her peachwood sword.

The iron door was slammed by us. We were not afraid to alarm the hosts. Instead, we want the host to come out.

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

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

Suddenly, I felt a hand grab me. I was startled and was about to pull back. Suddenly, the hand squeezed me hard, as if to remind me of something.

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

It was dark in the house. Because the curtains are drawn. But curtains, unlike walls, are not completely insulated from light.

The street lamps outside let in, and the windows were much brighter than in other places. I think I took a look over there and saw clearly that there was a guy standing there.

This man is thinner than a thin man, a head shorter than all of us. Obviously, not any of us.

As soon as we were still talking, we all suddenly fell silent. Apparently, the man next to the bed was found.

Then, the voice of the fat man came, and his voice was very small, apparently worried that the person next to the bed would hear: "Brother, I found a box of matches." ”

The thin man whispered, "Point it." ”

Immediately, I heard a stabbing sound and a flash of fire. I couldn't get used to the sudden light. His eyes widened and he stared at the edge of the bed.

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

In the middle of the night, I suddenly saw such an old lady, and I couldn't help but be startled. However, when I looked closer, 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 lit it.

That's when I realized that there were a lot of candles in this house. It seems that the owner is accustomed to using candles, not lighting lamps.

We went around here and didn't find anything again. Indeed, this house is empty. And, it looks like no one has been here for a long time.

The thin man said, "Shall we change the neighborhood and have a look?" ”

We nodded. Silence came out of here. Then rush in the direction of Daishonjeong Village.

Along the way, we would go and see every neighborhood we passed. However, each time our conjecture was confirmed. This city has indeed become a dead city.

I shook my head repeatedly: "How is this possible? It's impossible. Where have millions of people gone? Even if they were killed, the corpses would have to pile up. ”

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

Everyone's mood is no longer light. Because it's clear that something has changed here. What about our bodies? Will there be anything wrong with the body?

I suddenly remembered the warning of the water ghost in the underworld. He told me to watch out for the abbot. For it can be seen that the abbot deliberately concealed his situation, or wanted to disadvantage us.

And we are precisely leaving our bodies in the care of the abbot. Will he be against us?

We were already able to see the Great Sage Village from afar∡ and the closer we got, the heavier our hearts became. Dasheng Village, like the urban area, is dark, and none of them are lit up.

The absence of lights doesn't mean anything, though. The residents of the village have never been in the habit of lighting up the lights at night.

We groped our way to my cousin's house. The gate is not locked. It's almost open.

I shouted, "Abbot? ”

The abbot didn't pay any attention to us.

We walked into the yard. He pushed the door open again and walked into the house. Quietly along the way. No sound.

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

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

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

Musou gritted his teeth and paced inside the room. She repeated over and over again: "To find the abbot, we have to find the abbot." ”

I didn't want to discourage her, but I had to ask, "Where are we looking?" ”

Wushuang sighed and said, "I don't know either. Now, none of us can see it, not even if we want to inquire about the whereabouts of the abbot. ”

We are cultivators, and if we have no body, we can borrow corpses to resurrect our souls and not die. Although there are many inconveniences with a borrowed body, it is better than a lonely ghost. It's just that our situation is very dangerous now, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by borrowing a corpse.

We all sensed that someone was secretly trying to deal with us.
