Chapter 9: Beauty Lamp 4

In the dead of night, Tsing Yi's slightly frightened whisper seemed abrupt.

Xiuxiu and the phantom turned their heads at the same time.

Tsing Yi swallowed, she felt her heartbeat accelerating, and cold sweat began to slowly ooze from her palms.

The white hazy shadow seemed so soft and boneless, and when it turned its head, its neck was like a paper windmill spinning in the wind, and it could spin unhindered for half a circleβ€”something that would be impossible for an ordinary living person.

Seeing this, Tsing Yi gasped, because she finally found that the ghost's head and body were as flat as a piece of paper. And its face, when viewed from a distance, was only a haze, making it difficult to make out the facial features, and emitting a miserable white glow in the darkness.

Xiuxiu looked at Tsing Yi a little strangely, but saw that Tsing Yi was just standing there in a daze and didn't speak, so she blinked her eyes in confusion.

Then she turned to the strange ghost in disappointment and said, "Oh, we heard it wrong, I thought it was that sister who called us!" Let's go, sister! ”

Tsing Yi watched the ghost turn his face back again, his head fluttering up and down, as if nodding, and then the ghost walked slowly upstairs, and finally gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Tsing Yi retracted his gaze, slowly retreated to his room, and reflexively closed the door tightly.

She reached out and pressed her heart, only to feel that the feeling of fear was still entrenched in her heart, lingering.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's Su Xi...... Tsing Yi comforted himself in a low voice, "That's Su Xi...... It's just a homesick girl......"

Later, she barely stayed up all night, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she would dream of Su Xi's body floating like an empty white veil, and that blurred white face.

Maybe she can take a closer look at Su Xi's beauty lamp during the day, or ask others what to do if this happens?

Although she didn't have much hope of getting a satisfactory answer, after all, youkai are never afraid of ghosts.

She just snuggled up on the bed, clasped her knees in her hands, and waited until dawn with the lantern that could not be extinguished.

Then she stretched out her stiff and numb body, got up and walked out the door. The beauty lantern had returned, still on the counter, alongside the bony human skin lantern.

Master Gao is still the same, took a knife and began to kill pigs and cattle to prepare the ingredients for the day in the inn.

After Tsing Yi hesitated repeatedly, he still went over to look at the human skin lantern that was broken by the bear.

The lamp surface is still in good condition, and the painting on it is not illuminated by the light, and it looks like it is just black ink, which is not weird at all.

Only the lampstand inside, she could clearly identify that it was made of bones.

In fact, the problem was in the bones, Xiong Da waved his hand and directly broke the frame inside.

Tsing Yi tried to push them back to their proper position with chopsticks at first, but it backfired, it turned out that Xiong Da didn't know what method to build the lamp stand, and Tsing Yi had no way to return them to their original places.

She tried several times, but the more and more messy it became.

"It's terrible." Tsing Yi looked at the unrecognizable lantern in front of him dejectedly, and didn't know what to do with it for a while, "Can you only look for Xiong Da?" ”

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was immediately vetoed by Tsing Yi.

If Xiong overhauls the lantern, what can she handle? It is estimated that Xiong Da will not be able to bother too much about the failures in his eyes.

Extremely discerning artist style.

"It's time to get ready to open the door." Hei Saburo suddenly jumped onto the counter and squatted in front of Tsing Yi.

Then he mockingly looked at the lantern that was almost falling apart and asked, "You made it like this after tossing for half a day?" ”

Tsing Yi only felt that her cheeks were hot, and she was suddenly a little ashamed, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her masterpiece again, and whispered in a thin voice: "I just want to try ......"

"It's just a broken lantern, anyway, it's not a big bear, if it's broken, it's broken!" Kurosaburo lifted the lantern and fiddled with it a few times.

Maybe the monsters are really more dexterous than humans, because Tsing Yi was surprised to find that the lantern was actually repaired by Kurosaburo.

How the hell did he fix it? She only saw him touch it a few times! The stubborn bones that didn't seem to be the same body as each other leaned together in the blink of an eye, as if they had always been combined like this.

But Tsing Yi soon found out that Kurosaburo was only half repaired, and it only looked like it was repaired, because it was not re-lit.

"The lantern doesn't have a wick, how did it light it?" Tsing Yi couldn't help but be a little curious.

Hei Saburo sneered, Tsing Yi felt that he wanted to make a disdainful expression, but he still had a handsome little face with baby fat and did not do this ten out of ten.

This allowed Tsing Yi to muster up the courage to look at Hei Saburo expectantly.

"When Xiong Da makes a human skin lamp, he will directly detain the soul of the other party to make a wick, so the lighting is actually a ghost fire." Kurosaburo shook the lantern in his hand and explained, "When this lantern breaks, the soul that is locked in it will automatically run out, and as long as you catch it back, the lantern can be lit." ”

Tsing Yi was stunned when she heard this, she remembered the phantom last night, and suddenly stumbled a little and asked, "That...... Can the soul run out on its own and back on its own? ”

Hei Saburo smiled when he heard this, two shallow cute dimples suddenly appeared on his cheeks, he glanced at Tsing Yi's slightly uneasy eyes, and said slowly: "If you are resentful, you will naturally have the strength to run out." Why, you see? ”

Tsing Yi nodded hurriedly: "I saw Su Xi last night......"

"She likes to run out, as long as it doesn't affect the guests." Hei Saburo straightened up indifferently, looked down at Tsing Yi condescendingly, and reminded with a smile, "Why don't you go and prepare?" It's time for the guests! If the food is not ready at that time, there will be a hungry monster who will suddenly bite you! ”

Tsing Yi unconsciously stiffened when he heard this, and he didn't care about the tangled things, so he immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Hei Saburo looked at Tsing Yi running into the kitchen like a kitten with his tail off, and he was in a good mood. Then he looked at the beauty lamp on the counter a little empty, and then swiped towards the lobby, and the beauty lamp swished and hung back.

Then he took the bone lantern on tiptoe on the counter, and then flashed out the door and hung the bone lantern outside the inn door.

Guests came over one after another.

Jiao Niang got up from the bed lazily, and the brocade futon was a mess, and she was trampled under her feet at will.

With a green silk scattered, with peach blossoms on her face, and a lingering charm, she just stood naked in the room, raised her face and took a deep breath, until she saw Xiuxiu gently pushing open the door and probing her brain to come in, so she picked up her coat and put it on.

"Xiuxiu, my mother's good boy, are you hungry?" Jiao Niang smiled softly at Xiuxiu, "If you're hungry, you can go and order a few dishes and come back, we won't eat dry food from now on." ”

Xiuxiu was very surprised when she heard this: "Really, Niangniang?" Can Xiuxiu also eat meat? ”

"Well, Xiuxiu can order whatever she wants." Jiao Niang stretched out her hand to pull up her long hair and smiled at the bronze mirror not far away, "Niangniang too, you can order whatever you want to eat now." ”

Xiuxiu was so happy that she ran downstairs to order food when she got Jiao Niang's words.

Since calling here, Jiao Niang only let Xiuxiu eat a little dry food every day, and when the ban is lifted, Xiuxiu ran to Tsing Yi and ordered everything she wanted to eat: "Sister, I want a chicken, a pound of sauce beef, and a pig's trotters!" ”

Tsing Yi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xiuxiu at this time, she remembered that Xiuxiu and Su Xi's souls talked and laughed last night, and she was not afraid at all!

"Sister! Hurry up, Xiuxiu is hungry! Xiuxiu was very greedy, as if she couldn't wait for a moment, and urged Tsing Yi continuously.

Tsing Yi put away his cranky thoughts, and went into the kitchen to bring out all the dishes ordered by Xiuxiu.

"Can you get it?" Seeing that Xiuxiu was young, Tsing Yi asked worriedly.

Xiuxiu only had the meat in her eyes at this time, so she couldn't take care of anything else, and she didn't care what Tsing Yi said at this time, she nodded vigorously and reached out to pick it up.

But another pair of hands suddenly appeared and took the tray first.

Tsing Yi didn't react for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Su Xi's white soul walking in front with a tray. And Xiuxiu happily followed Su Xi, and thanked her very politely: "Thank you, sister!" ”

Tsing Yi opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Su Xi who went upstairs with Xiuxiu in surprise.

The current Su Xi is completely different from what she saw last night, there is no blurred face, no body as thin as paper, and no fluttering figure, just like a normal person.

She curled her green hair up, revealing her stunningly beautiful face with a gentle expression.

She was dressed in a white gauze dress, and her slender waist was swaying slightly with her light walking, as if she was dancing, revealing a different charm.

Su Xi was a beauty when she was alive, and now her soul is still so beautiful.

Tsing Yi only felt that the original scared heart was a little lighter.

Indeed, are people still easily deceived by appearances? If Su Xi's soul is not much different from when she was alive, will she feel that her heart is the same as when she was alive?

She looked up at the sky above the lobby, and the beauty lamp was indeed extinguished.
