The years I was in the human world

The surroundings suddenly became cold. Dark clouds passed by the sky, covering the cold and bleak waning moon. A crow standing on a tree branch outside the ruined temple was startled by something and flapped its wings and left the branch.

Under the thick night sky, the waning moon leaked a faint light from the clouds. A row of figures with strange postures staggered past. The heavy footsteps made a "swish" sound in the silent night. They came from far away and approached, with a clear purpose towards the dilapidated temple where the only candlelight flickered.

The sudden spread of coldness made those who were obsessed with desire stop their actions. Their heads cleared from the confusion and they looked around in confusion: "What's going on?" The temperature dropped suddenly and the hairs on his body stood up, let alone continue doing what he had just done.

The ghost lying on the ground seeking sex had a sharper sense than the mortal bandits. The lust on her face had not faded, but she had already straightened up and stared nervously at the closed door of the dilapidated temple. Then she shrank back in fear, opened her eyes full of water and looked at the ghost grandmother, and said in panic: "Grandma, are they here? Are they?"

Who is coming? Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo both had the same question in their minds. Unlike the other two who remained silent, one of the bandits directly pulled Yan Gui's hair and asked, "What is coming? Tell me, what do you know?"

The slightly trembling voice revealed his cowardice at the moment, because at this moment, he and others heard the heavy footsteps gradually approaching, neatly, but not just one person's, it was impossible for it to be a person. The bandit's face turned slightly pale, sweat seeped out, he regretted a little, regretted being blinded by lust, and followed other bandits who were obsessed with the erotic ghosts who came out to beg for business in the old capital at midnight, and now he was afraid that he would get into trouble.

After all, they had human lives on their hands and were vicious people who dared to have sex with vengeful ghosts. Although the five people were a little nervous in the face of the current strange situation, they did not panic. The ghost in their hands sensed the threat and struggled uncontrollably, turning its head frequently in fear.

The heavy footsteps suddenly stopped outside the ruined temple. As the sound of spears falling to the ground rang out in unison, the whole world fell into silence again. The only sound in the ruined temple was the bandits' heavy breathing due to nervousness. The beautiful ghosts looked at the ghost lady who brought them here in panic, opening and closing their mouths as if they wanted to ask her to save them, but they dared not make a sound.

"What on earth is that thing outside? It's actually scaring these evil spirits so much." Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo communicated through voice transmission into the secret passage, not caring whether Gongsun Wuyin would hear them. After all, the two of them used voice transmission to avoid disturbing the thing knocking on the door outside.

"I don't know." Xiao Fengzhuo shook his head. He had been to many places and knew a lot of things, but he had never been to the old capital of the Undead Country. Today's situation was the first time he had encountered it. "These resentful ghosts had a miserable life when they were alive. After death, they still had to rely on these flesh trades to maintain their bodies. In the final analysis, they were just pitiful people, not even resentful ghosts. Although I don't know what the outsiders are, I don't think they are good people. It's normal for them to be afraid."

"Cha Cha Cha—" The knocks on the door sounded in an orderly manner. A shadow was reflected on the door by the moonlight. The person knocking on the door was eight feet tall and wearing heavy armor, but when everyone looked up, they saw that the place where the head should be was empty. The thing knocking on the door outside had no head.

Everyone subconsciously tensed up and dared not move, as if this would allow them to pretend that there was no one in the dilapidated temple and let the thing knocking on the door leave quietly.

"I'm coming." Gongsun Wuyin said softly, her eyes swept over the nervous crowd, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, waving the folding fan in her hand, her indifferent look seemed to imply that she was watching the fire from the other side of the river, "No one wants to open the door?"

"They are as cowardly as mice. Are you two the same?" Gongsun Wuyin's eyes swept across the others and finally landed on Xiao Fengzhuo. His tone was sarcastic, and he almost directly ridiculed the two of them for being cowardly. It was obvious that he was deliberately fanning the flames. "It turns out that the cultivators of the demon race are just like this."

"You are so brave, why don't you go and open it?" Xiao Fengzhuo was not a young boy who would be easily provoked. He leaned against Lu Zhouxue calmly and made a gesture to the door, indicating that Gongsun Wuyin should go and open it by herself. "We promise not to stop you."

I guess he didn't dare to open the door.

Gongsun Wuyin stared at Xiao Fengzhuo for a while, and the latter met his gaze without showing any weakness, not afraid of him at all. Gongsun Wuyin clapped the folding fan in his hand, closed it, and said meaningfully: "What a adaptable mouth."

Hearing Gongsun Wuyin's voice, the thing outside obviously realized that there was someone in this dilapidated temple. It suddenly stopped, and then there was a loud "bang". It was the thing that kicked the door, but it was like kicking the hearts of everyone in the temple. Even the ghost lady trembled.

The force of that blow was quite strong, but the seemingly dilapidated door managed to withstand the impact without moving at all.

Gongsun Wuyin raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, raised his tone, and said "oh" softly, his gaze fell on Lu Zhouxue, and saw that his fingertips were wrapped around the source of the sky-white silk, and the criss-crossing silk net was distributed on the door frame, fixing the shaky door panel.

"If you block the door, can you protect the entire ruined temple as well?" Gongsun Wuyin didn't care. As soon as he finished speaking, the white silk spread again, and the interior of the entire ruined temple was entangled into a dense cocoon. Lu Zhouxue said in a cold tone: "Why not?"

“Then, Lord Phoenix, do you know what it means to be trapped in one’s own web?” Gongsun Wuyin said, and his eyes swept across Lu Zhouxue’s face with an ambiguous expression. A bandit suddenly looked at the empty space in horror and said fearfully, “Here, here it comes…”

A strong smell of urine wafted out instantly. No one knew what he saw, but he was so frightened that he lost control of his bowels. He even forgot to run away. He stared at one place with wide eyes and said with difficulty: "Help, help..."

Suddenly, the pupils in the bandit's eyes shrank very small for a moment, and then expanded in an instant, and his body fell down stiffly, and he died in front of everyone. Xiao Fengzhuo immediately squatted down to check the body. The body was unusually hard and cold, and it didn't look like he had just died suddenly, but rather that he had been dead for a long time. After looking at the body, Xiao Fengzhuo gave a conclusion with a bad look on his face: "Frightened to death."

"No new ghost was formed. The soul was scattered directly." Xiao Fengzhuo paused and added, then he set his eyes on one of the trembling ghosts, "What is that thing outside? Tell me what you know."

The sudden death scared not only the other four bandits, but also the Ghost Grandmother and the beautiful ghosts under her. Although they were dead, they still had attachment to the mortal world, otherwise they would not have used such methods to maintain their bodies. But now there is a headless ghost knocking on the door outside, and there are also unknown horrible things in the temple. Even if they become ghosts, they will still be afraid as long as there is the unknown and as long as there is a threat.

In the final analysis, the difference between humans and ghosts is only the difference between life and death. As for other things, such as fear, cowardice, and greed, there is no difference. The dead is the continuation of life.

The knocking on the door started again rhythmically, in groups of three, like a death bell, knocking on people's hearts one by one, but the white silk of Lu Zhouxue wrapped the ruined temple tightly, giving the people and ghosts inside a little comfort. Although they were afraid, they were more calm than before.

"No, it's okay, they can't get in." Gui Lao said reluctantly. She was just a prostitute, just showing off in front of her prostitutes. What kind of storm could she have experienced? Now she was naturally afraid. When she said this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it really that simple? Lu Zhouxue felt that the others were a little too optimistic. He lowered his eyes and thought, just now the white silk of the sky was not touched at all, and the bandit died in front of them, without even a trace of his soul left.

The way that non-lethal creature killed people was not terrible. Lu Zhouxue had seen people who died in even more tragic ways. What made him shudder was that when that creature took action, he and Xiao Fengzhuo could not see any signs or indications. It killed people as if it was just a joke.

Lu Zhouxue secretly glanced at Gongsun Wuyin. The latter's original attitude of watching the fire from the other side of the river disappeared. He frowned and wondered what he was thinking. This attitude made Lu Zhouxue realize that the things outside had nothing to do with Gongsun Wuyin, and he also found it tricky.

After a while, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped. Lu Zhouxue suddenly had a bad feeling. Then the door of the dilapidated temple was kicked hard like before, and the layers of white silk almost couldn't fix the loose door panel.

That thing is coming again, Lu Zhouxue had this thought in his mind, and sure enough, the evil ghost that Xiao Fengzhuo had questioned earlier suddenly cried out in surprise, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He was shaking like a sieve, completely immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't listen to what Xiao Fengzhuo asked. Now, he suddenly looked at the ghost grandmother in panic: "Grandma, save me, save me!"

His voice was shrill. He was different from the bandit because he was a ghost. Therefore, his reaction when his soul was scattered was more obvious. His soul body was decaying rapidly, and gradually he could not maintain his beautiful appearance. He showed a miserable appearance when he died. His face was scratched by something, and there was a huge and narrow wound on his abdomen. His internal organs slipped out, and his entire lower body was covered in blood.

He seemed to be reliving the pain of death, rolling on the ground in pain, blood and flowing internal organs all over the ground. He lay on the ground with a twisted body, as if he had grabbed the last straw, and tremblingly stretched out a hand with broken fingers to the Ghost Grandma who was huddled in the corner: "Grandma... help..." Little did he know that the Ghost Grandma might not be able to save herself in such a situation.

Seeing his horrifying appearance, the ghost lady subconsciously took a half step back out of horror. The next second, the ghost's head was broken by something, and it fell down in a strange and twisted manner. The protruding bones stuck out from the broken ends. He died in such a tragic posture, and his body turned into powder the moment his soul disappeared. Nothing was left except ashes on the ground. He was truly reduced to ashes.

"Ah, A Yao, A Yao is dead..." A female ghost looked at the smoke and dust on the ground with a look of fear and grief. Her lips trembled and her words spoke in a trembling voice, as if she was almost frightened out of her wits. So when the knock on the door sounded again a moment later, she naturally went crazy, screamed miserably, and did not even bother to put on her clothes. She just ran towards the door naked.

Lu Zhouxue's silk blocked the temple door. She couldn't get out, so she frantically used her hands to dig at it. She didn't care that her nails were broken and her hands were bleeding. She frantically tore at the flexible silk while mumbling unconsciously. Her tone was full of despair and fear, which matched her identity as a demon: "They are coming, they are coming, they will die... they will all die..."

The nonsensical but strange words made Lu Zhouxue and Gongsun Wuyin, who came to arrest people, suspicious. However, the life-threatening knock on the door made them have no time to worry about it. The knock on the door sounded twice, and the three people naturally heard the meaning. They all realized that the headless ghost outside was probably not knocking on the door to apply for entry. The door panel fixed by Tianbaisi could not stop them. Knocking on the door was just a ritual before entering.

The thing outside was deliberately playing tricks on them in this way.

"What's outside?" Xiao Fengzhuo asked as he walked up to Gongsun Wuyin. To prevent the latter from refusing, he immediately added, "The current situation is probably beyond your expectations. No matter what your purpose is, you should solve the current situation first. What do you think?"

"That's right." Gongsun Wuyin agreed with Xiao Fengzhuo's last sentence, but he changed the subject and said, "But why should I tell you? Xiao Fengzhuo, just because you two can't handle these things doesn't mean I can't handle them either."

After Gongsun Wuyin finished speaking, he chanted a spell on the spot to summon the Netherworld Dao. He actually wanted to run away first when he saw that the situation was not right. He was very flexible. Lu Zhouxue, who had paid some attention to him, saw his actions but did not stop him. He could not get out, otherwise Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo would have left using Qianli Jiangshan long ago. Why would they be trapped in the ruined temple and have to explore the origin and return of the things outside?

After a while, the Netherworld Road was not opened. Instead, the thing outside noticed that Gongsun Wuyin wanted to escape, and seemed to be angry, knocking on the door harder and harder. He was not afraid of the threat of that thing. He walked to the door, patted the shivering female ghost who was squatting there because she couldn't open the door, and habitually whispered, "Step aside." It was not ferocious, but rather had some soothing meaning.

There was no deliberate sarcasm when he spoke to Xiao Fengzhuo, nor was there any pretense of affection in front of Lu Zhouxue. His tone was very normal, as if he spoke like this every day, so gently and naturally. The look in Lu Zhouxue's eyes as she stared at him suddenly became sharp.
