Chapter 197: The eerie village
Ye Ting frowned and said to the old man, "Who in your village works at the mine?"
"Gaga, we all work at the mine,"
突然这一些村民诡异的笑着，嘴唇都是血红色，一个个竟然把自己的脑袋给摘下来。
叶廷眼神一凝，就准备动手。
然而画面再次消失，变成刚才的样子。
依旧是这一些瑟瑟发抖的村民, 就好像刚才发生的都是幻觉。
叶廷瞳孔一缩，随后目光在这一些村民的身上看过去，却没有发现任何异常。
He looked at Zhang Ming and said, "Did you notice anything strange just now?"
Zhang Ming was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, I didn't notice anything."
```htmlYe Ting's heart sank instantly.
Could it be that he was being manipulated?
He knew he would never have any illusions, and the scene just now was so real.```
```htmlBut now even my divine eyes can't see through these people's disguises.
Ye Ting sighed lightly and said calmly, "You've been working in the mine, haven't you noticed your secretly dead?"```
[{"text":"“The boss is dead? How is that possible.”
“Sir, when we came out last night, the boss told us that today we don’t need to go to the mine.”","type":"text"}]
```html“Yes, how did this leader die?”
Many villagers looked astonished.
Ye Ting frowned and looked at a pavilion in the village, asking, “Who lives in this pavilion?”```
The old man looked around and then whispered in Ye Ting's ear, "This is the mansion of the nouveau riche where we live. Mr. Li, after retiring, built a loft here."
“His home is here, so has he been back recently?”
“The master, Li Yuanwai, has not returned for over a year. He entrusted me with the keys to his home, and I will take you there to have a look.”
老者连忙从房屋当中找出钥匙说道。
叶廷面无表情直接跟在老者的身后。
张明道长此时也是若有所思，一群村民也跟着走了过来。
Not long after walking, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in.
Amidst the ramshackle village, a sense of decay filled the air, and Ye Ting felt a sudden weight on his chest, sensing a strange gaze behind him.
他猛然回头，只见身后的村民突然张开嘴巴，露出阴森的笑容, 目光直勾勾的盯着叶廷看着。
然而转眼之间这一幕再次消失，跟刚才一样，所有村民还是低着头不敢看他们。
Ye Ting took a deep breath, feeling increasingly agitated.
He couldn't understand why, suddenly, he thought of the incident that happened in the ruined temple a long time ago.
"Master Ye, what's wrong?"
Old Zhang Ming hesitated and asked.
"Let's go."
Ye Ting shook his head and continued walking forward.
However, at this moment, Old Zhang Ming's expression also twisted as he looked at Ye Ting.
Suddenly, Ye Ting turned to look at Old Zhang Ming.
As Zhang Ming's old Dao face returned to normal, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ye Ting looking at him, "Leader Ye, what's wrong?"
"It's okay."
Ye Ting continued to walk forward, but his heart was already filled with anger.
```htmlDamn, it's that feeling of being toyed with again.
He really hates this feeling.
A group of people walked more than a hundred meters and finally arrived in front of a huge courtyard. At this time, the gate was tightly closed, with a rusty copper lock on it.```
```htmlThe village chief hurriedly took out the key, then unlocked the brass lock, and then pushed open the heavy gate.
Creak.
The gate slowly opened, and a cold feeling instantly greeted them.```
```htmlYe Ting walked expressionlessly towards the courtyard.
The entire courtyard is paved with bluestones.
It can be seen that someone is still cleaning here, and the courtyard is very clean.```
```html

As Ye Ting walked through a corridor, he heard a strange laughter.
“This is truly a perfect head.”
“If I could put this head on my body, it would be perfect. Master Ye, do you mind lending me your head?”

```
```htmlYe Ting suddenly turned around, and the sound disappeared instantly.
The courtyard remained as quiet as before, with the old man and Zhang Ming Lao Dao standing behind him as if nothing had happened.```
"Sir, what, what have you found?"
The old man exclaimed.
Throughout the journey, Ye Ting didn't just turn back once, every time he turned back, he was full of anger.
He was afraid that Yeting would get upset and wipe them all out.
"Master Ye, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Zhang Ming, the old Taoist, couldn't help but ask.
Yeting frowned: "Since we entered this village, haven't you noticed anything wrong, Daoist? I just saw some villagers suddenly take off their heads, heard eerie sounds, and even smelled decay. Didn't any of you Daoists notice?"
Zhang Ming, the Taoist priest, was suddenly shocked and hastily said, "This, this is impossible. The old Taoist did not find anything wrong at all."
The old man beside him was also shocked, looking at Ye Ting and said, "Sir, are you mistaken? Everyone in our village is a good person."
Ye Ting fell silent and continued to walk upstairs.
They saw that the attic was built very grandly, with four huge pillars supporting it, and the windows outside were all tightly locked.
Sure, here's the translation while keeping the original HTML tags:```htmlThe old man hurriedly opened the door to the second floor.
The light outside shone in, and the situation on the entire second floor entered Ye Ting's eyes.
"This sir, do you want to come in?"```
The old man beside him said softly.
Ye Ting walked in without hesitation.
However, the moment he walked in, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
A cold wind blew in, bringing a chill with it.
The attic disappeared in an instant.
Just like time traveling, Ye Ting found himself directly in a bustling market, with people coming and going.
"
Ye Ting's eyes narrowed as he suddenly turned around, only to see that the entrance he had just entered through had disappeared.
Zhang Ming Lao Dao and the old man also do not know where they are.
Only he appeared here, Ye Ting's heart suddenly sank, the extreme yang true qi circulated in his body, clenched his fist, and his inner vigilance was extremely high.
四周的人还是在做着自己的事情，仿佛没有看见他一般。
甚至有不少人竟然直接从他的身体上穿过去。
这让叶廷的眉头顿时深深皱起来。
```html“Miss, you've slipped out again. Be careful, the master will worry.”
A clear voice suddenly sounded, and a young lady from a wealthy family sneaked out from a small door, followed by a maid in a green dress.```
```htmlHer eyes are particularly lively, as if curious about everything.```
