Chapter 165: The Palace

A few of us talked about it. found that this time he was able to get out of danger safely, and the thin man simply contributed a lot. After this kid escaped, he used everything he had learned in his life, pierced a few paper figures, and saved a few of us with his soul. Although our bodies have been left behind, it is rare for our souls to return to the human world.

Paper Zha Wu said with an unhappy face: "You kid wants to save me, and you don't say a word in advance, when two hands suddenly appeared, scared me to death." "

The thin man's face turned pale: "Master, you almost forget it, I am almost dead in order to save you." "

I asked the thin man, "What about Wen Yu?" Why didn't you get her out? "

The thin man smiled bitterly: "Wen Yu is not here." Xu You, it's not me gossiping behind my back, maybe we've been put on a show this time. "

I stood up and said to the thin man, "We can't stay underground all the time. Thin man, why don't you dig a few of us out? "

The thin man waved his hand: "Xu You, what are you kidding?" Here's how dangerous it is. In case you dig out a few of your bodies and start attacking me, will I be able to defend myself? "

I was disgruntled, "What then?" Have a few of us been lonely ghosts? "

The thin man sighed: "A few of you let me slow down, and when the rooster crows and the yang energy is strong, I will find a way to dig you out." "

When the thin man said so, we were relieved. Begin to sit on the ground and rest.

That's when I had time to take a look at it. I found this place very strange, there are many stone monuments erected, but there are no graves.

I looked at the steles, which said that someone in a certain place, when he died here. These people come from all over the world, and there are people everywhere. And strangely enough, there are only headstones, but no graves.

I sat down and said silently, "Looks like this is a mass grave." "

I glanced at the sloppy Taoist priest sitting next to me and asked, "Your master said that I saw the family who lied to you here." Could it be the guy who drove the tricycle just now? "

The sloppy Taoist priest shook his head: "It's not him." I remember the family who lied to me clearly, and even after so many years, it is impossible to forget it. "

I thought about it for a moment and said, "That family should be nearby, after dawn, let's dig out the body and follow to have a look." "

The sloppy Taoist priest agreed, and then said, "However, I remember that Master's soul was very embarrassed when it came back. I'm a little worried that the village might be in danger. "

The thin man also stood up, nodded and said, "I think so too, although the sloppy Taoist master's body is rotten, it is also a flesh body, and he shouldn't lose it at will." It doesn't make sense that after the soul escapes, it doesn't matter. But he didn't dig it out, and I wondered if something had happened. "

As soon as the thin man said this, my heart was also pang. If something really happens, then if you can let the old man keep his body here, presumably that thing has the ability to keep his body behind.

I'm starting to worry now. I suspect that even if it's dawn, thin people won't necessarily be able to dig out our bodies.

At this moment, Wushuang suddenly whispered: "Someone is coming, and then hiding behind a tombstone." "

A few of us didn't dare to slack off, and hid one after another. Then, there was a sound of footsteps ahead. Listening to this voice, it seems that a lot of people have come.

I slowly poked my head out from behind the tombstone and glanced in that direction.

There were quite a few people here, and they looked like villagers around them.

The villagers did not carry flashlights or light torches, and walked in complete darkness. The starlight was dim enough to see their faces.

We hid behind the stone monument, and we didn't dare to breathe through the atmosphere.

Strangely, however, they seem to know where we are hiding. Groups of three or five came up and trapped us in the center.

At this time, I suddenly realized that they were not real people, but ghosts. The ghosts looked at us blankly, and then let out a threatening roar at the very end, as if they wanted us to obey them.

Suddenly, the sloppy Taoist priest next to me shouted, "I know you." You were the one who killed me and my master back then. "

Then, he lunged at one of the ghosts. Soon, the two of them were fighting together.

The ghost was tall and strong. Although the sloppy Taoist priest is thin and small, fortunately, he was once a cultivator, and a peachwood sword helped a lot.

These two people were entangled together, and the ghosts around them didn't move, so we didn't dare to move, and watched the two of them go head-to-head.

The Sloppy Taoist was once our enemy, but along the way, this hostility has slowly dissipated. What's more, now that we have the same enemy, it's time to fight side by side.

However, it's not that we don't want to go up and help. We know that as long as we move, these dozens of ghosts around us will be moved. When the time comes, we won't necessarily win.

These ghosts don't know what's going on, as if there is some special way to resist the attack of the Peachwood Sword. Several times, I saw the scruffy Taoist priest's sword pierced the demon's chest. However, the ghost did not wander. Instead, he just took two steps back while clutching his chest. Then he pounced again.

Ten minutes later, there seemed to be a leader among the ghosts, and he waved his hand impatiently. Then, the ghosts swarmed up and ran towards the sloppy Taoist priest.

At this point, we can't afford to sit idly by. Then a piece joined the battle.

When it really started, I found these ghosts to be even more difficult to deal with than I thought. The damage dealt to them by the Peachwood Sword was low, and they were simply invincible. They even sat in a circle and could catch me by draining my strength.

Ten minutes later, we failed without any suspense. Caught by these ghosts, and slowly walked outside.

Wushuang was still huffing and saying, "If my body is here, you little ghosts, can you help me?" "

I smiled bitterly in my heart: Who doesn't know this truth? If our bodies weren't lost, a ghost charm would have been able to restrain these ghosts, but people were clearly waiting for us. When our bodies are gone, and our Taoism is gone, they come out to arrest us.

Thinking of this, I saw that the thin man was also caught by these ghosts. I couldn't help but wonder: "Thin man, your body is so good, why was it caught?" "

The thin man's face was pale and he looked very weak, and he smiled bitterly: "In order to save you just now, half of my life was exhausted." Not to mention catching ghosts, I don't even have the strength to escape. "

I sighed and thought to myself: Listen to it.

We don't know what these ghosts are trying to catch us for. What is the purpose of taking us away? We kept asking these ghosts on the way. But they didn't say a word.

When I look at these expressionless ghosts, I can't help but think, "Do they have thoughts?" What do I feel like they are puppets with strings? "

We were quickly escorted out of the mass grave to the village. This village is clearly the one we saw earlier.

At this time, I was even a little curious in my heart. We've been to the village no less than three or four times, but we've never walked in. I suddenly wanted to know what was in this village.

As they approached the entrance of the village, the villagers suddenly became respectful. They began to form a long line and slowly walked into the village.

We walked through the outermost houses. These houses are ordinary, bungalows common in the north.

Then we turned a corner, and it suddenly became clear to us. I saw a palace in the middle of the village. This palace is not high, but it is gorgeously repaired. The circle of bungalows outside seemed to be deliberately concealed, enclosing the palace in the center.

We were escorted to the main entrance of the palace, and the ghosts pressed us to the ground.

I looked up with difficulty. I saw a woman slowly coming out of the palace. She looked at us very indifferently, and then said lightly, "Let's lock it out first." As soon as he said this, he walked lightly into the palace and never showed up again.

The imps lifted us up, and it seemed that they were going to lock us up at the woman's orders.

At this time, I found out that there was a bronze cast erected next to the palace, and a copper ring was cast on it. These bronze statues are designed to lock ghosts. We were chained up and couldn't move. can only be obediently hung on it.

The imps were gone. Back in the house. A few of us were innocently hung from the brass rings.

I sighed and asked in vain, "Guys, do you have any way to get out?" "

The rest were silent. Only the thin man sighed: "A few of you wait for me to slow down, and when I slow down, maybe you can save everyone." "

I asked him, "How long do you want to slow?" "

The thin man said, "It's not too long, let me sleep and rest." Then he stopped talking.

At this time, I suddenly felt a little strange, usually Wushuang always has endless words, but today I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and I didn't say a word. I asked her, "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? "

Wushuang said faintly: "Xu You, I feel as if I have been here." "

I looked at her strangely, "You've been here?" "

Wushuang nodded, and said with a blank face: "This gives me a sense of déjà vu." I've certainly never seen any of these houses, but I always feel familiar. "

Paper Zha Wu analyzed beside him: "There must be something you have seen before, and it appeared here today, so it makes you feel familiar." "

Wushuang nodded, and then looked around blankly: "What the hell is it?" I can't remember it at all. "
