Chapter 426 The Pure Study Room
Xie Zhi also felt that what he said was a bit nonsense, but he still said it.
Fortunately, Ye Caitang didn't laugh at him. Instead, he thought about it very seriously and said seriously: "I don't think it's possible."
"What's the reason?"
Ye Caitang said: "First of all, when you met the girl this morning, the sun had already risen, and the sun was quite strong. If the girl and the mother-in-law are not human beings but ghosts, they should not appear in the sun."
Using metaphysics to explain metaphysics turns out to be very reasonable.
"Second, it rained a few days ago and the ground in the market was a little muddy. Your amulet just fell on the ground and was stepped on, so it was stained with so much mud. If you walked through the market, these shoes should also be stained.
There’s a lot of mud on it, so it can’t be so clean.”
"Third, there is only a pair of shoes here, and there is only a robe on top of the bones outside. Let's take a step back and say that the two people you met today are these two bones. Now that the illusion has disappeared, based on my experience, it should be
The body disappears, leaving only the bones and all the things on the body that cannot be taken away."
Xie Zhi didn't react for a moment.
"What does this mean?"
"That means, in addition to an embroidered shoe and a dress, there should also be pants, underwear, socks, jewelry, etc..."
Xie Zhi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
Xie Zhi said: "Then why not?"
"Because it's inconvenient." Ye Caitang said: "Think about it, the woman outside just now, she secretly took out a skeleton from the room, then took off her coat and put it on the skeleton, and then ran away. Is it convenient?
?”
Xie Zhi nodded.
It's convenient.
"Okay, then think about it again." Ye Caitang said: "The woman outside just now, she secretly took out a skeleton from the room, then took off her coat and put it on the skeleton, and then took off her underwear.
Come down and put it on the bones, then take off your pants..."
Xie Zhi couldn't help it anymore and said: "Pfft..."
I can't think about that scene. It's such a weird scene. It's really embarrassing to think about it.
Xia Yue and others stood at the entrance of the cellar. They couldn't figure out why Xia Yue laughed when he was so serious and weird. Could it be that he was scared out of his mind?
Then Ye Caitang shouted from the cellar: "Throw a bag or basket down."
Soon a cloth bag was thrown in. Xie Zhi and Ye Caitang gathered all the bones scattered on the ground and put them into their bags, and then Xie Zhi carried them out.
Ye Caitang was also dragged out by Xia Yue.
Xia Yue said: "What are you laughing at inside?"
They were puzzled.
"No." Xie Zhi said, "I'm not smiling."
Everyone was a little suspicious, and they really didn't laugh. So that sound just now... couldn't have been caused by everyone's misunderstanding.
"I was a little scared and almost cried." Xie Zhi said seriously: "But Xiaoye comforted me a few words. I'm feeling much better now and not so scared anymore."
After saying that, Xie Zhi put a bag of bones on his shoulder.
"Walk."
He carried the bag to the yard outside, opened it, and Ye Caitang put on his gloves, took out the bones piece by piece, and then placed them on the ground piece by piece.
Soon, he pieced together the bones into a human shape.
"One piece is quite a lot." Ye Caitang said: "The pelvic bone is complete, wide and short in appearance, and the upper opening of the pelvis is larger and almost round. The shape of the pelvic cavity is cylindrical. This is a female skeleton. The hip bone surface
Smooth, with no scars or dents, this should be the skeleton of a woman who has not given birth."
Xie Zhi stood in the middle of the crowd with his arms folded. He seemed to be listening to Ye Caitang very seriously and calmly, but in fact, he felt that he felt safer standing among everyone.
Shen Xingyao said: "Tang Tang is so awesome. You can tell whether the person is a boy or a girl and whether he has given birth to a child just by looking at the bones."
Ye Caitang sighed, it's a pity that there are no instruments in this era, otherwise we can know how old she was when she died, and even restore her appearance before birth.
The best way to estimate age is to determine the bone age, and the error can be reduced to one to two years.
However, in the absence of instruments, Ye Caitang could not guarantee the accuracy. If he made a rough guess, it would be fine if he encountered it. If he was wrong, it might cause them to have wrong goals.
Ye Caitang checked another corpse.
Sure enough, the condition of the body was very similar to that of the missing mother-in-law.
Female, had given birth, older.
"It's really evil." Wang Tong said: "Is it such a coincidence? Master Xie just happened to meet two women, and there are two corpses here."
"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately." Xia Yue said: "Thank you, actually you didn't plan to come with us on this trip."
"yes."
Xie Zhi didn't understand what Xia Yue meant by asking.
"Did your master insist on you coming?"
Xie Zhi nodded, then paused.
"What do you mean?"
"It means it's a bit strange." Xia Yue said: "You didn't want to come to Liumen, but your master asked you to come. You didn't want to go out with us, but your master asked you to come. Didn't you suspect anything?"
With twenty taels of silver a month or something, I went to work as a master in the Six Gates. This reason always felt a bit far-fetched after experience.
Hai Wangtian is a Feng Shui master of Daliang generation. What's wrong with his apprentice's training? It's strange to go to the Yamen to work as an errand to train.
"It's strange." Xie Zhi didn't deny it, but he immediately affirmed: "But I believe Master will not harm me. If he harmed me, there would be no need to bother."
"That's true." Ye Caitang said casually: "If it hadn't been for Senior Hai's adoption, Brother Xie would still be begging for food."
Xie Zhi's need to beg for food is something he can't get over.
Xie Zhi could only take a deep breath and nod.
"Yes, that's what happened."
Since Xie Zhi trusted Hai Wangtian so much, it was hard for everyone to say anything.
Xia Yue said: "Take these two bones back first. Whether what Master Xie saw was a human or a ghost, since they appeared in front of you, they naturally have a plan. Now we can only stand still and remain unchanged in response to all changes."
"
And for the time being, it doesn't look like he is going to give up his life.
Otherwise, you can be more mysterious and cautious.
This kind of chaos and chaos from the beginning only made them more vigilant, making it more difficult for them to attack later.
So he found another bag and put another skeleton in it.
After the group returned to the inn, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed when facing the enthusiastic shopkeeper and waiters.
They don't care, but the inn may not dare to accept him. If he is discovered, the owner will go crazy and other guests may not dare to stay.
