My master is the coffin

Chapter 248 Dry Well
We squatted in the cornfield and observed quietly for a long time, but the abbot never appeared again.

I suddenly had a bad premonition, so I whispered to the people around me: "What if the abbot didn't just hide. He was lying on the ground and crawled away? There are corn seedlings growing here, and we can't find them at all. "

The moonlight shone on the thin man's face, making him look unpredictable.He raised his head slightly from the cornfield.Then he said: "Otherwise, let's hide in the cornfield, move over slowly, and look ahead to see what's going on."

We all nodded, and told each other: "Be sure to be quiet, don't make any noise, and be smart, don't wait until the abbot is in front of you and don't know."

After getting ready, Wushuang, the thin man and I walked in front.The fat man and the sloppy Taoist priest followed.The five of us began to move forward in a half-squat.

After moving a few steps in this way, we soon discovered that it was much less effort to crawl on all fours like an animal than to move forward while squatting on the ground.

The corn seedlings completely hide us, and the night is our best camouflage.Without saying a word, we crawled forward quietly.

There are only rustling sounds around, and if you don't pay attention, you may even think it is the wind blowing the leaves.

We crawled like this for a while, and suddenly we heard the fat man and the sloppy Taoist priest arguing behind us.

The sloppy Taoist priest reminded the fat man: "You bowed your body too high, you can be seen from the outside. You exposed everyone."

The fat man said dissatisfiedly: "My stomach has already touched the ground, I can't go any lower."

The sloppy Taoist gave him some advice: "Can't you hold your stomach with your hands?"

The fat man replied, "My hands are resting on my chest."

I was so dizzy when I heard it, I turned to them and said, "Can you two keep your voice down?"

The sloppy Taoist priest and the fat man agreed, and then urged me: "Go fast. I won't be able to keep up in a while."

I was about to turn back and climb forward.But suddenly heard Wushuang exclaimed.My heart tightened, and when I quickly looked back, I found that there was no one in front of me.The thin man and Wushuang disappeared out of thin air.

I was nervous when suddenly the corn seedlings in front made a noise, as if something was coming.

I stared there in fear, lest it be some kind of goblin.I touched the mahogany sword on my waist, if anything happened, I would cut it directly.

At this moment, my hand was suddenly grabbed by something warm.

I was so scared that I was sweating coldly. I stepped back and looked down. At this time, I found another hand, protruding from the cornfield in front, was holding my wrist tightly.

I took a deep breath, tried not to make a sound, put my left hand on the ground, and kept it still.Slowly raised the mahogany sword with his right hand, and then slashed down forcefully with a whining sound.

This time, be sure to cut off the hand in one step.

However, just as I swung my sword halfway, another human head stuck out in front of me.She exclaimed, "Xu You, what are you doing?"

I heard the voice was clearly Wushuang, so I quickly stopped.

At this time, Wushuang pushed aside the corn seedlings in front of me, and I realized that there was something wrong here.

A sinkhole appeared in front of it, as if it had been flushed out by long-term flooding.Wushuang's lower half was inside the pit, and the upper half was outside.One hand is holding me, and the other hand is trying to climb up.

I asked her, "Did you fall just now?"

Wushuang said angrily: "Yeah, isn't this obvious? What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and give me a hand."

After I pulled her up, I asked, "Where's the skinny one?"

Sitting on the ground, Wushuang gasped and said, "We both fell down at the same time. We were going to climb up, but there seemed to be some noise from below. The thin man went to find the way. If there is no problem, let's go down."

We sat outside the pit and waited for a while.I looked at the pit with both eyes, it was like a boundless black hole.It seems to swallow everyone up.

I looked a little scared, so I couldn't help turning my head away.

The sloppy Taoist asked Wushuang: "Wushuang, have you seen the abbot? Did he fall into this pit?"

Wushuang shook his head: "I didn't see it. However, I heard someone talking below just now, and it is very likely that he went down."

We all said with some displeasure: "What the hell is the abbot doing? Why don't you sleep at night and drill holes in the ground?"

The fat man thought about it for a while, then he looked at the trap, and said worriedly: "There's no danger for the skinny man to go in, or I'll go and have a look?"

The sloppy Taoist hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry about your weight. You can crush everything inside if you walk over."

Sure enough, the fat man listened to persuasion and retreated: "Then I can only wait for the thin man to come out. It's really worrying."

The fat man said he was worried, but his face was relaxed.I suddenly realized that just now he didn't think about it at all, he was just pretending.Even after turning around in the underworld, he didn't become much more courageous.

Ten minutes later, a head emerged from the pit, and it turned out to be a thin man.

We eagerly asked: "How is it? What's going on next?"

The thin man looked erratic: "The situation is a bit complicated."

I said dissatisfied: "Skinny man, why are you talking like a cousin with a crooked neck? Tell me clearly, how complicated is it?"

The thin man sighed, and said, "I'm not a college student, and my vocabulary is not rich enough. Why don't you come down and have a look."

I asked, "No danger?"

The thin man said: "It's hard to say, it may be dangerous, but I haven't encountered it."

I asked again: "Is the abbot down here?"

The thin man had already retracted back into the pit.His muffled voice came from inside: "It's hard to say, it's very likely inside."

We muttered the thin man's "hard to say" in our mouths, and got down nervously and curiously.

It was dark down there, with an earthy smell.I groped and crawled for a long time, and finally my two feet touched the ground.

I whispered: "Skinny man, where are you? Wushuang? Are you there?"

I was shouting when suddenly a light appeared in the darkness.

My eyes had been in the dark for a long time, and when I was suddenly illuminated by this light, I became temporarily blind.

When I got used to it, I noticed the thin man was holding a candle.standing right in front of us.

I was a little surprised: "When did you prepare the candles? We came out in a hurry, as if we didn't bring anything except the mahogany sword."

The thin man pointed to a corner: "There are candles over there."

I was a little surprised: "There are candles at the bottom of the pit?"

The thin man nodded: "Someone often comes down this pit."

Then he walked towards that corner with a candle in his hand.By candlelight, we found that there was a pile of paper ashes, unburned candles, matches, and even a few lighters scattered there.

Since there are lighters, it means that at least in modern times, someone must have been there.

The thin man held up a candle and let us look at the top of our heads: "Look, this should be a well. It's just that it has collapsed after a long time." I raised my head and saw the sky over the well mouth, which was dark, with several points flickering. Star.

At this time, I suddenly heard a sound, like someone talking.It's like raving again.The voice was very low and murmured endlessly, more like chanting scriptures.

Only then did I realize that there was something wrong with this well.There is nothing wrong with it.

The thin man pointed to a wooden door at the bottom of the well: "There is something inside." While talking, he pushed the wooden door open with great effort.

The door wasn't heavy, but it was a bit rotten. When the thin man pushed it open, he made a stubborn sound, which sounded weird underground.

The fat man was scared, so he grabbed the thin man: "Brother, shall we go in?"

The thin man took it for granted, "Isn't this nonsense? If we don't go in, won't our troubles be in vain?"

The fat man shook his head looking for a reason: "I have to go in too?"

The thin man looked at him: "It's fine if you don't come, just watch the wind outside." The fat man happily agreed as if he had been pardoned.

The thin man held a candle in front, and we followed behind, forming a long line, and walked in slowly.

I thought that there would be a long corridor after entering.Unexpectedly, the inside is like a maze.Numerous passages criss-cross.There are many small doors beside the passage.

We walked into a small door at random, and found that it was actually a family with a small courtyard and a main house.There are even tables and chairs inside.

However, half is covered with dirt, and the other half has rotted away.

We turned around casually and found that there are countless small courtyards here.They give me the feeling that someone built a village here.

The muttering voice, like chanting scriptures, is still ahead, and we are about to move forward.Suddenly, I felt something was wrong behind me.Like someone is behind me.

I deliberately fell behind a few steps, my eyes fixed on the back.There was darkness beyond the reach of candlelight.

Soon, I heard a mess of footsteps and stumbled.

I thought to myself: "There is indeed a problem. Fortunately, I am more alert, otherwise, wouldn't it be tricked by you?"

Just thinking of this, a huge figure rushed out of the darkness.Without thinking about it, I raised my mahogany sword and stabbed at it.

After the sword stabbed out, I realized that I was wrong.This person is none other than Fatty.

The fat man obviously didn't expect that I would lay an ambush on the way.He was so frightened that he opened his mouth and was about to scream.I hurried forward and covered his mouth.

Then I asked him: "What's the matter with you? Didn't you let you watch the wind outside?"

The fat man looked nervous: "I'm afraid."

At this time, the thin man at the front also came over, and looked at the fat man with dissatisfaction: "However, you have also worked as a messenger, don't tell me you are afraid of the dark."

The fat man said nervously, "It's not that I'm afraid of the dark, I always feel that someone is watching me. So I ran in to find you."

I looked behind the fat man, and there was boundless darkness.There is no way to see if anyone is there.
