"Grandma, what is the skeleton?" Ke Xun decided to ask step by step.

"Here, this is here," the old lady stretched out her wrinkled orange-skinned hand and stroked Ke Xun's forehead tremblingly. Life, there are seven points in the bones."

Wei Dong whispered in the back: "Is the street fortune telling method of old man accurate..."

I would rather her be inaccurate than she would be like the fortune-telling liar on the street... all lie.

Zhu Haowen said smoothly: "It is said that in the scientific world, there are also studies and theories that'can judge this person's personality, adaptability, and mental function based on the shape of the skull.' So relying on the shape of the skull to face fortune-telling, also It's not completely unfounded."

Wei Dong: "...Your words make me feel comforted or panic..."

Zhu Haowen ignored him, his eyes continued to fall on Ke Xun's plump forehead covered by the old lady's thin palms.

"Is the bone shape you mentioned the shape of a bone?" Ke Xun is continuing to ask further questions.

The old lady shook her head, and clicked her finger on Ke Xun’s forehead: “The shape of bones is also called bone features, but the bone features I said are the essence, energy, and spirit of bones. Bone is the foundation of the body, so it is Facial appearance, the energy and energy that a person shows on the face is actually the energy and energy of the bones. But ah, some energy and energy can be seen through the skin, and some of the energy and energy are rooted in the bones. Stay fixed, the bones I see in your bones are the roots in your bones... It's a pity... I am dim-eyed and do not do enough. I can see, but I can’t see clearly. I don’t know what I see clearly..."

"What do you mean by ignorance?" Zhu Haowen also walked a few steps forward, standing by the bed and asked.

The old lady looked up at him, retracted her hand on Ke Xun's forehead, and gestured in the air: "You have something on your bones... there is something, dark, it's all overgrown..."

Wei Dong Luo Ling and Wu You made a jolly when they heard the words, "I was numb all over." Luo Ling said, rubbing his arms.

"Do you mean the bones are essentially black, or are there black things on the outside of the bones?" Zhu Haowen continued to ask.

"It's not outside," the old lady shook her head, and stared at Ke Xun's face with dim eyes. "It's in the bones."

"Is the whole bone black?" Ke Xun was stared at by the old lady and made him feel uncomfortable, and could not help rubbing his face.

"No," the old lady continued to stare at him laboriously, "some places are not dark, some places are dark."

"...Is this black and non-black place like stripes staggered, or some other shape?" Zhu Haowen asked further.

"Intermixed," the old lady withdrew her gaze from Ke Xun's face, and slowly rubbed her wrinkled eyelids and corners of her eyes with her hands, "Hey, old man, I can't see clearly..."

"That should be mottled," Ke Xun raised his head and met Zhu Haowen's eyes, "What's the reason for this, ‘that kind of thing’ makes the bones black?"

"That kind of thing" is of course a matter of entering the painting, but it is difficult to explain clearly in front of the old lady.

"It's bones, silly boy, bones and bones are not the same thing," the old lady patted his knee, "I have seen a lot of bones in my life, and it is the first time like you. Seeing that, Master Patriarch has never taught how to interpret this skeleton. Alas, it's a pity you young children..."

"Then how can you tell that this kind of bone sign is not a good sign?" Wu You asked hurriedly.

The old lady sighed: "I saw it for the first time. My master had seen it before. At that time, I was still young and hadn't apprented a teacher yet. Later, I heard my master talk about him. I have seen people with this kind of bones, and I feel weird, but unfortunately they will not resolve them. As a result, those few people died within two days after seeing them. It was a terrible death..."

"This amount of information is too much," Ke Xun said, "Grandma, take your time and tell us carefully, you see, we young people are better than the other, and you can't bear us. Is something wrong? You think slowly, slowly say, you can remember as much as you can, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay," the old lady waved her hand, and said to Wei Dong, "Don't stand up, sit down, sit down."

Wei Dong responded, looking for a place to sit down, and Ke Xun said, "First, tell me about the few people your master has seen. How many people are they in total?"

"Say five or six people," the old lady thought for a long time before giving a vague answer, "Anyway, there are several, not one or two. My master said that I have never seen so many people with this kind of bone. There must be more than one or two people."

"Do you know how old these people are and what they do?" Zhu Haowen asked.

The old lady thought for a long time: "I remember saying that there are males and females, old and young. That's why my master finds it strange. There are all kinds of people, and they are all a kind of bone."

"Did your master say where you saw it?" Ke Xun asked.

The old lady answered this question quickly: "It was at my master’s house. Those few people specially came to my master to start the class. They seemed to be doing something very dangerous. I heard that my master’s plan was accurate. I came to see my master from far away. My master was shocked when he saw this. He wondered how these people are so weird. I have never seen it before, nor did Grand Master teach me. The master didn’t dare to give them skeletal figures. He only taught them a lesson about the evil, but it turned out to be a big evil... My master said, I’ve never seen such a horrible hexagram, so bluffing that he didn’t dare to open for months, saying that he wanted Avoid this ferocious aura. As expected, something happened to those people."

"How did your master know that something happened to those people behind?" Zhu Haowen keenly grasped the doubt.

The old lady patted her legs on the edge of the bed, and sighed, "My master, he was very curious. He was young at that time. He had such a fierce divination. He said that he had seen it once in his life, and he was caught Like, I wanted to know what to do, and when I heard those people mention what study they were going to, I remembered it, and ran there in the first three days. I really caught seeing those people one day. He went in, and came out soon. He felt that something was wrong. He said that the few people had been caught in the evil spirits. They had five confusions and three ways. They went their own way after they left the study, but they didn’t go far enough. People were shot to death with random guns, and there were blood holes in their bodies..."

"Wait...you wait," Wei Dong interrupted with a black line on his face. "Killed to death? Dare to ask which era it was?"

"Two years or three years," the old lady said, "At that time, there were wars everywhere and it was a mess."

Wei Dong had the final say, this old lady looked like she was in her eighties, when her master was young...but no, it was in chaos at that time.

"Your master said it was like being caught by an evil spirit. Do you know what kind of behavior it was?" Ke Xun continued to ask.

The old lady glanced at him, and replied in a slow and dumb voice: "My master said that when those people came out of the study, they had no souls. They were no different from the living dead. Sooner or later they would be dead. "

This made everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"Then, did your master tell you in detail, what are the bones of those people?" Ke Xun finally reached the most critical question step by step.

The old lady seemed to have a deep memory of this incident, so she did not remember for too long. She raised her skinny hand and gestured in front of Ke Xun: "My master said, it’s the black lines that come out of her bones. A few people, the whole body is densely covered with dense and dense bones. If it looks like a pattern, my master doesn't recognize it, and I don't recognize the thing about you..."

"With the pattern, can you tell me what it looks like?" Ke Xun asked.

The old lady looked worried: "I can't tell, there are twists and turns, and there are circles..."

"Can you draw it?" Wu You said anxiously. Before the old lady could respond, he ran out a few facial tissues and an eyebrow pencil from his bag and stuffed it into the old lady's hand. "Try drawing painting."

The old lady took her reading glasses from the bedside table, and while looking at Ke Xun sitting in front of her from above the lens, she used her trembling old hand to draw on the paper with the eyebrow pencil. Unfortunately, it took a long time to draw and the paper was full The trembling chaotic lines can't see anything at all.

Wu You went to ask for a serious pen and paper to ask the old lady to redraw, but the drawing was still a few messy lines that seemed to be electrocuted.

The old lady put down the pen and shook her head while taking off her glasses: "No way, I'm getting old and old, and I can't see people clearly if I can't use the pen..."

The old man is indeed too old, and he usually trembles when he raises his hand, let alone the relatively delicate operation of drawing with a brush.

Everyone felt helpless, but they really couldn't force it. Ke Xun had to say: "Then do you remember, what is the name of the study where the few people your master said?"

The old lady thought for a long time, and finally shook her head: "I don't remember, or my master didn't say it."

Zhu Haowen said: "Where did your master live before? Is this the city?"

The old lady nodded: "His ancestors have lived here for generations."

"Is there anyone in his family now?" Ke Xun asked hurriedly.

The old lady shook her head and sighed: "My master didn't care to raise children. He said that he did our job. He leaked all secrets and was condemned by the heavens. God let him die out, fearing retribution... I have learned this business by myself, and I have been in trouble every year, and almost passed by several times. Isn’t it also retribution?"

At this point, it was difficult to make progress on the clues. Ke Xun and several others accompanied the old lady to talk some gossip. Seeing that the old lady was not in good spirits, they quit.

"The'living dead with no soul'..." Wei Dong was the first to speak until he walked out of this residential area, "Do you think... a bit like those who died in the painting, staying in reality? The "skin" in the world?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

No one had thought that nearly a hundred years ago, there were such a group of people who had the same experience with them.

So, what is the final outcome of those people?

As the old lady's master saw, all died tragically, not one left?

Can someone survive fortunately?
