Chapter 34 The villagers all disappeared

Shang Tian didn't respond to me, and walked straight into Bai Zhiyong's house. I followed Shang Tian closely, looking at the corpses of animals all over the ground, and felt apprehensive. Who did this?
We went around Bai Zhiyong's house, but still found no trace of the villagers, as if the villagers really disappeared.

"Where did the villagers go? Is my mother safe?" I asked worriedly.

"Not at the moment. I think the other party must have some conspiracy, and the other party may have been hiding among the villagers. Think back, which villager do you think is more suspicious?" Shang Tian looked at me and said.

Hearing this, I pondered for a while, replaying all the recent actions of the villagers in my mind, but I couldn't find anyone who was more suspicious. If I really wanted to say suspicious people, the only one was the village's son Bai Zhiyong.

It's just that I can't figure out why Bai Zhiyong would do this?
"The only suspect is Bai Zhiyong, but if it's really him, why would he do this?" I looked up at Shang Tian and said.

Shang Tian shook his head, obviously he didn't know either.

Seeing Shang Tian like this, I became more anxious and panicked for a while, the more time passed, the more dangerous my mother would be, but I didn't have the slightest clue, like a headless fly.

I wanted to ask Shang Tian what to do, but Shang Tian suddenly squatted down, and I didn't know what Shang Tian was going to do, so I had to keep watching.

After Shang Tian squatted down, he took out a few copper coins from his body. I counted them carefully, and there were six copper coins in total.

"Do you really think my Tianjimen is so easy to bully?" After Shang Tian muttered, he threw the six copper plates in his hand into the air.

But when Shang Tian threw the copper plate into the air, a wind suddenly rose in Bai Zhiyong's yard, and the wind was so strong that it seemed to blow Shang Tian's copper plate away.

"Huh!" Shang Tian stood up and snorted coldly, but he didn't see him speak, and struck the ground with a strange seal in his hand, and the wind around him stopped immediately.

The wind stopped, and the copper plate that Shang Tian threw into the air also fell to the ground, and Shang Tian's expression suddenly became ugly when he saw the copper plate that fell on the ground.

"It's confusing, someone interfered with the secret." Shang Tian picked up the copper plate on the ground and said solemnly.

"Then...then do you know where the villagers have gone?" I asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Shang Tian shook his head helplessly: "Someone interfered with the secret, I can't figure it out, but we still need to go somewhere."

Shang Tian said that I didn't wait for my response, so I walked outside. I didn't dare to stay in Bai Zhiyong's house alone, so I followed out immediately. What I didn't expect was that Shang Tian returned to Bai Mujiang's house again the door.

I was a little puzzled, but I didn't ask any more questions. Shang Tian walked into Carpenter Bai's house, and I kept following him closely.

After following Shang Tian in, I was a little confused, because it seemed that someone had cleaned up the carpenter Bai's house. There was no dust on the coffins, and I also found a problem. The coffins in Carpenter Bai's house were covered with dust numbered.

From one to ten, and then from ten to a hundred, and some coffins are relatively small, as if they were for children. What frightened me even more was that there seemed to be many more coffins in Carpenter Bai’s house. I remember when Carpenter Bai died, There are simply not so many coffins here.

Who made these extra coffins?Could it be that the ghost of the white carpenter has returned?

"Do you know what kind of tree these coffins are made of?" Shang Tian suddenly looked at me.

"Ah!" I was startled and shook my head: "I don't know!"

"It's all made of pagoda trees." Shang Tian said.

Locust tree?

I exclaimed, I remember Xiaoling said before that pagoda tree is the ghost among trees, basically all trees can be used as coffins, except pagoda tree.

But now so many coffins here are all made of locust trees, what does the other party want to do?I couldn't figure it out, but the cold sweat dripped down my back involuntarily.

"You are looking at the size of these coffins, the numbers marked on them, and those unfinished coffins." Shang Tian pointed to a place and said.

I took advantage of the opportunity to look over, and saw that there were indeed some unfinished coffins on the ground. For some reason, I became more and more frightened, as if something big was about to happen.

"Hey! Now it seems that the other party wants to bury your entire village."

After listening to Shang Tian's words, my body trembled, as if suffering from hysteria, my pupils were filled with fear, and the string of fear in my heart was being plucked all the time.

"Buried our entire village? What did our village do? It deserves the other party to do this?" I trembled.

"Well..." Shang Tian pondered for a while, and said: "It may not be because of what your village did, or the other party wanted something, or other reasons."

I don't understand, our village is a very poor village, we have no money, and I have never heard of any valuable things in our village.

I was silent, trying to recall everything, I always felt like I missed something, from the fake call calling me back to the village, and then from the painting I picked up in the deserted village, these weird things happened one by one, Is it because of that painting?
I don't know if it's true, but I didn't hide anything, so I told Shang Tian everything that happened since I got home.

After listening to my words, Shang Tian pondered, "Where does that painting go now?"

Hearing Shang Tian's question, I smiled bitterly and said, "I was tricked by a girl named Xiao Ling."

"Xiao Ling?" Shang Tian showed doubts.

Immediately, without any hesitation, I told Shang Tian about Xiaoling.

Shang Tian showed a strange expression after hearing this.

"According to the Xiaoling you said, she should be a Taoist or know a little bit of Taoism. If this is the case, it means that she knows the value of that painting or the function of that painting. Presumably she is not a Simple character."

"If the painting is here, there may be some clues, but since it was tricked away, we have to find another clue." Shang Tian waved his hand.

"Looking for other clues?" I muttered, and suddenly looked up at Shang Tiandao: "I know, there is a woman in red in the barren village next door, she should know what the painting does."

"Is there anyone else in the barren village next door?" Shang Tian looked at me in astonishment.

"No...not a human, it should be said that she is a female ghost in red." I explained quickly.
