Chapter 109 The Crazy Bride 18: Soaring Evil Qi (2 more 1)

How can this happen?
Ye Qingluan raised her eyes and looked around.

The layout of Chang'an City, except for the imperial city and palace city in the north, the rest are such neatly planned squares and cities.

Generally speaking, "city" refers to the market, and "fang" refers to residential buildings.However, the connotation of "fang" is actually much richer than the simple word "residential residence", because it also includes a variety of houses such as palaces for princes, princesses, official residences, temples, and even Qinlou Chuguan. It is said that it covers various purposes such as official, commercial, civil, and educational.

Squares are connected by vertical and horizontal streets, and every intersection of vertical and horizontal streets forms a cross street.

Standing at the intersection, there are four squares on the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right.So it can be said that any intersection has very important significance: whether it is traffic management, or even the value of strategy and tactics.

This big locust tree is impartial, and it was built at the intersection of the cross street.

In other words, with so many bones dug out under this big pagoda tree, it will affect at least the residents of the four surrounding squares.

And because Liushufang is located in Dongcheng, and Daming Palace is located in the east of the north of Chang'an City, so looking north from the direction of this big locust tree, you can see Daming Palace again.

Ye Qingluan couldn't help shaking his head.

How should I put it, although she is a salted fish in the teacher's school, she has been exposed to it every day anyway, and she also vaguely remembers that she has heard that such and such, evil spirits will directly pass through the streets, collude with all parties, and even Go straight to Daming Palace.

But thinking how innocent Chong Niang was, and Li Gou was the one who buried his bones under this tree with her own hands, so she didn't say anything, but pulled Li Gou aside and asked in a low voice, "... when Mr. Li was in Huaihuai The burial of the insect mother's remains under the tree was done secretly, right?"

People in ancient times were all superstitious, so if you bury human bones at the crossroads, most people can't let them see; what's more, there are Marquis Wu in every square, and people don't just arrest them when they see it.

Li Gou blushed a little, and answered in a low voice, "That's right."

But after all, this big locust tree is at the intersection, and it is possible for the Marquis Wu of the four squares to see it when they are patrolling, so it is not easy to sneak around.

Ye Qingluan sighed again, "...you still use your official position to seek personal gain?"

Think about it, although Li Gou has been downgraded to the ninth rank now, but he came here as a fifth rank member after all.Counting the years, it should have been more than ten years ago when Chongniang passed away. Li Gou, who was more than ten years ago, should have a high official position, and he has not been reduced to the desolate position he is today.

Li Gou hurriedly waved his hands, "How can it be, how can it be... This is the capital city, and the streets are full of third-rank officials, and I was only a fifth-rank official back then. How dare I use a chicken feather as an arrow?"

He glanced left and right, "At most, I invited the Marquis Wu to have a drink..."

Ye Qingluan nodded.That's right, just like the way of tree burial in later generations, even if you know that you buried human bones under the tree, as long as it's only one and it's a woman, it's really nothing scary, even Wuhou can understand it.

It’s just that no one would have imagined that so many were dug out under this big locust tree!
Ye Qingluan frowned, "Could it be possible, there are four squares around your house, maybe all the residents have the same idea as you, so you have one and I have one, and this will be buried." Such a lot?"

Li Gou was about to cry, "How can it be! Didn't you say it last time? Isn't it that picking up bones and burying things has long been out of fashion in China, so think about it, why do we people in Chang'an still pay attention to it?" Maybe a lot of human bones are buried here?"

Ye Qingluan shook her head, "No, I'm not talking about picking up bones for burial, I'm talking about normal burial. There are four squares around here, if someone dies in any family, just bury it directly under this tree, okay? "

In fact, Ye Qingluan shook his head in his heart after he finished speaking.

Of course not, this is a bustling city after all, do you think there is anyone who dares to bury their dead on the main road?This is not allowed in any city throughout the ages.

So she added, "...I mean, it was buried a long time ago, for example during the Sui Dynasty."

Li Gou still stared wide-eyed, "That can't be done!"

"Miss Xi, think about it, think about what I told you - our place is Liushufang. In the past, a willow tree was planted here. Later, the willow tree died, and other willow trees would not survive. Then it was changed to pagoda tree. tree."

Ye Qingluan nodded, "I remember."

That's right, when the willow tree died and was replaced by pagoda tree, Li Gou had personally experienced this, so the history of pagoda tree must not be traced back to the Sui Dynasty.So she thinks that the corpse was buried by the Sui Dynasty, so that is not true.

Besides, when the willow tree died, and then tried to replace it with another willow tree, there was a cyclical process of digging holes to plant trees——digging the holes to dig out the dead trees—and planting new trees. Listen. What Li Gou meant, there were ten or twenty times before and after this, so if there were human bones buried under the tree long ago, after all the tossing and tossing at that time, they would have been discovered long ago.
She frowned, "There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries living in the four workshops around here, and I think there are also palaces for princes and princesses! Could it be that there are people like you, Mr. Li, who also invite Wu Hou drank wine, so he also secretly buried him here?"

"They also belong to the kind of people who don't know and don't blame them. They also think that they only buried someone in their own family, and no one else buried them...?"

When Li Gou heard that Ye Qingluan asked Marquis Wu to drink again, he coughed in embarrassment, "That's impossible. Even if there are people who have the same idea as the old man, it's just one or two, at most three or five." Right? How could there be so many bones, there are at least thirty or fifty corpses!"

Ye Qingluan was about to pull his hair out when he heard it.That's right, even if there is such a thing as "no matter what you shoot", it's impossible for these four workshops to produce so many tacit understandings, right?

She sighed, "...Where is the remains of the worm lady? It shouldn't be mixed with these miscellaneous bones, right?"

She remembered what Kangkang said, even if it was a bone-picking burial, she couldn't just bury the bones in the soil just because the coffin was saved.The family members who pick up bones and bury them must use a proper container to store the remains of the deceased.

In the Banpo era, at least one clay pot was used, and people in later generations put more thought into this container. If it is poor people, at least a clay pot is used. If it is noble or something, it is normal to use gold and jade. .

So if there is such a suitable container, even if it is a pile of white bones, it will not be possible for the remains of the insect mother to be mixed with those miscellaneous bones.
