Spn language is the sound representation of words.

However, due to the extensive and profound Chinese language, there are many homophones.Sometimes, there is a gap between the words you hear and what you understand in your heart, like a gap.

This is the case at the moment, when we heard the middle-aged man frown and say "they are coming", no one thought that he said "they", not "they"!It's not until a short while later that we meet "they" in the man's house that the term is finally properly understood.It's a pity that it was the passionate teacher "Fate" who corrected this vocabulary, and what he used was a red pen that exuded a fishy smell!

"Several police officers, no matter what happens later, don't go out! Otherwise, you will be in danger! After the matter is over, I will talk to the village chief and arrange a place for you to stay tonight," the middle-aged man said for us. He poured hot tea and said in a serious tone.

I picked up the teacup and silently looked at the man who claimed to be Luo.He was not short in height, but thin in build.The old coarse cloth clothes seemed to be a little swaying when they were put on him, as if they were hung on a bamboo pole for drying clothes.On the bridge of his slightly collapsed nose is a pair of the same old plastic frame myopia glasses, one of the black temples has been broken, and the frame is wrapped with yellow scotch tape, showing a bit of poverty the desolation. [

His eyes were small, made even smaller by the "bottle-bottomed" lenses.Through the rings of mirrors that look dizzy, I see doubts, worries, and... fear in his eyes!

"Teacher Luo, is something bad going to happen in the village?" Ruan Yu asked with a frown.The detective's intuition that had been integrated into her bones allowed her to grasp the key points of his words immediately.

"Ah? No! No! There's nothing bad..." Teacher Luo paused, took off his glasses, and said softly, "It's just a...folk custom! Yes! Folk custom! I'm afraid you outsiders haven't seen it. However, I may have misunderstood something..."

"Folk customs? By the way! The 'sanggu' here is very strange! Teacher Luo, can you tell us about it? To be honest, I admire you the most for 'supporting education' in remote areas. It's so great! In order to find the answer she was interested in, Xiaoqian slapped "flattery" not lightly but not seriously.

"No, no, don't call me that. I don't even have a teacher's certificate. I just... teach the children in the village to read and write. I'm not a teacher," Teacher Luo hurriedly waved his hands, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.He was silent for a while, looked outside and said: "This place is very closed, and many folk customs are different from those outside. The usual funerals in the village are not so grand, and the 'Sanggu' is not much different from other places. However, today This funeral is very special, this 'sang drum' is unique here, it is called 'empty funeral'!"

"Empty mourning? This is really the first time I've heard of it. I only know that 'beating the mourning drum' is actually a disguised form of help to the bereaved family. It's very lively, it looks like a performance. But...the expressions of the people here are very strange! Are they all the mourners?" Xiaoqian asked hesitantly.

Teacher Luo shook his head and said in a low tone: "No, the people in the shed are the heads of households in the village, and they are just neighbors with the dead person. However, they must be 'sad and happy' like the head of the mourning family. , That's why there is this strange expression. If the head of any family doesn't do it, then his family will be cursed! Will be 'them'..."

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

His words were interrupted by the sudden violent drumbeat outside.We looked at each other suspiciously, and quickly got up and gathered to the side to look out.I saw that the villagers in the shed had stood up from the straw mats, and some people removed the rainproof cloth around the side of the shed, leaving only the roof covered with strips of white cloth.Others worked together to lift the coffin without a lid, and put it on the ground facing the entrance of the village.

There are many things in the coffin, including portraits and clothes.However, there was no corpse!

"Empty? The so-called 'empty mourning' means that no one died?" I turned my head to look at Teacher Luo, and asked in doubt.

"No, someone did die! However, he didn't die in the village, but in the magic tree!"

"Magic? Is that Liu Heqian who became that in the Spring Festival Evening? I only heard that Wuqiao is full of acrobatics. Could it be that this small village is full of jugglers? Who are they showing?!" Yan Daojie touched ’He inserted a sentence with his head in his head.

"It's not the 'magic' you mentioned, it's the 'tree' of the 'tree'!" Mr. Luo put on his glasses, emphasizing in an intellectually stubborn tone.

Magic tree?Shouldn't there be a legend about the "God Tree" here?How did it become a "Magic Tree"?

I glanced at the man who looked like a "bamboo pole" beside me suspiciously, touched my nose to consider the words, and said, "Mr. Luo, we can't ask you about our specific tasks due to discipline. Explanation. However, we came here only after finding out that there is a legend about the "Divine Tree". This is an important clue to our case! Does the "Magic Tree" you mentioned have anything to do with this...?"

"There is only a magic tree here! A ghost tree! A murderous tree! There has never been a 'sacred tree'!" Teacher Luo's tone was very serious, and his emotions seemed a little agitated.He took a few breaths to stabilize his mood, and said, "Don't mention the word 'divine tree' in the village, otherwise, you will get into trouble! The people here..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The person who beat the drum seemed to be deliberately against us. Teacher Luo was interrupted by the sudden sound of the drum again after half of his speech! [

I looked intently at the big shed with only the roof left, and saw that the villagers who were sitting on the straw mats just now were neatly lined up in a single file in front of the coffin, and kowtowed to the coffin that did not hold the corpse in turn. .

After all the villagers had finished their salutes, several strong men put a wooden frame behind the coffin and let it lean on the ground.Afterwards, they carried something that looked like a trap, placed it in the gap between the coffin and the ground, and pushed the gleaming iron thorn on the bottom of the coffin.

"Yeah~ heh heh heh!"

A fat pig that looked nearly three hundred catties was carried into the shed by several men.They hurriedly stuffed it into the coffin, and then wrapped a rope around the coffin several times to prevent it from falling out.

The villagers bowed to the pig in the coffin together, and then ran home and closed the door tightly, as if some disaster was about to happen.There was only one black and strong man left in the shed. He held a sharp knife and said something to the pig in the coffin, and then stabbed the fat pig several times.

"Um~ um! Heh huh! Uh~ eh!"

Blood splattered all over immediately.

The fat pig howled miserably, its fat body writhing in the coffin, as if it wanted to break the ropes that bound it!

"Ah!" Xiaoqian was startled by the bloody scene in front of her, and hid behind Ruan Yu with a scream.

I frowned and glanced at the scene that looked like a "living sacrifice", then turned to Teacher Luo and asked, "Mr. Luo, this is..."

He raised his hand to block my question, then ran to the door in panic and locked it, and turned off the light with a "snap".

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

But the strange thing is that the light coming in from the outside seems to have also weakened a lot at the same time.I hurriedly turned my head and looked out, only to see that the lights of the whole village had been extinguished at some point, and the strong man in the shed had long since disappeared, only the pile of candles under the old tree were still swaying weakly in the wind The flames seem to be extinguished at any time...

"Several police officers, you must not make a sound! Don't go out when you see anything for a while! Remember!" Teacher Luo touched back to us in the dark, and said in a low voice.

The weak and fluttering candlelight shone on his face through the sun, reflecting his face that was a little distorted due to fear to be extraordinarily ferocious!

"Teacher Luo..." I reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Hush! Don't make any more noise!" He knocked off my hand and said in a tearful voice, "They... are coming soon!"

who?Who is coming soon?How terrifying is it that can scare a middle-aged man in his 40s to the point of crying?

"chirp~~chirp~~"

My questions were quickly answered.However, this answer made me feel a little stiff.

At the entrance of the village, a group of white shadows stood.

They "chirped" and lined up in a neat line, and slowly jumped into the village in the flickering candlelight...[

"What is this white shadow...?" Ruan Yu frowned and took out a pistol.

"Police officer! Put it away!" Seeing this, Teacher Luo rushed to her side, lowered his voice to a whisper, and said anxiously, "Don't mess with them! They will go back in a while! I beg you!" Or we'll all die!!!"

Before the words fell, the group of white shadows who had jumped in front of the coffin suddenly let out a long howl at the same time.Immediately afterwards, they rushed towards the coffin like hungry wolves preying on them.

The air in the greenhouse instantly boiled!All kinds of ear-piercing screams mixed together and resounded through the night sky!

The fat pig trapped in the coffin only screamed a few times, and then was submerged by the white shadow with its fangs and claws.In the blink of an eye, they were torn into balls of flesh and blood.

The group of white shadows were immediately stained with blood. They surrounded the blood-red coffin, constantly biting and chewing.The minced meat all over the floor was quickly swept away, and even the broken bones were thrown into their mouths and devoured...

In my ears, I seemed to hear the "click" sound of bones being crushed in my mouth!

"what!"

The bloody "living sacrifice" was too bloody, and Xiaoqian, who couldn't bear it, suddenly let out a short scream, and then hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, shivering behind Ruan Yu.

Unfortunately, her movements were still a step slow.

A white figure that was hovering around the perimeter of the shed stopped when the screams were dispersed in the air.It slowly turned its body towards us, paused for a moment, and then rushed over!

There was a loud bang!

The white shadow stuck firmly to the glass of the house, and the ferocious face covered in blood instantly filled our sight!

This is... the statue under the tree? !
