Ghost King Landlord

Chapter 36 Rouge Bone Meal
"Have you seen that box before?" Qin Guang asked.

Han Le shook his head and said, "No, I've never seen that kind of thing before, and according to what I know about my sister, she shouldn't like that kind of thing. Is it... the problem lies in that box ?”

"It's not sure yet, but that box is very likely." Qin Guang glanced at Han Le and said, "In short, find that box as soon as possible, it should be in your home, or even somewhere in this room .”

Han Le nodded, and the two searched separately, and even carefully checked some seemingly impossible places one by one.

Qin Guang rummaged through the dressing table, but found nothing. Although there were some bottles and boxes in the drawer below, there was nothing unusual.

"Strange, is it really not here? But it shouldn't be. If there is something wrong with the box, she should keep it by her side..." Qin Guang frowned, and even wondered in his heart whether the box was carried by Han Yue .But it felt impossible. When she went out just now, she only had a wallet in her hand, which couldn't fit the box at all.

"what!"

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the quiet room, Qin Guang turned around, and saw Han Le sitting on the ground with a pale face, his dull eyes full of fear, staring blankly at the direction of the bed , The hem of the bed sheet was still shaking slightly.

Qin Guang frowned, walked over quickly, glanced at Han Le, and then slowly lifted the hem of the bed sheet.

The light under the bed was a bit dim, but Qin Guang could easily see the scene inside, but it was not because of his ghostly eyes, but because there were two slender white candles under the bed, quietly lighting the candles. burning.The warm yellow light outlines the outline of the bed, but the scene that greets the eyes makes the temperature of the candlelight seem to drop to freezing point.

Looking at the two candles that looked like women's slender jade fingers, Qin Guang narrowed his eyes, and then lifted the bed sheet up completely.

Under Han Yue's bed, there were two candles that looked as white as jade, and two weak candles were burning quietly.Between the two candles, there was a small silver-white metal basin, and there were some black things in it, which seemed to be ashes left after something burned.And behind the small basin, there is also a square box, which emits a silvery yellow light under the candlelight, and the delicate patterns on the surface can be vaguely seen.

Qin Guang reached out and took out the box and small basin, and carefully looked at the two candles.The two candles were ordinary candles, and they had no special purpose, so he didn't move, and turned to look at Han Le.

"Is this the box you mentioned?" Qin Guang raised the box in his hand and asked.

"Yes...it's this box..." Han Le seemed to have not slowed down, and his reaction seemed a little sluggish.

"The workmanship is good. It looks like it should be more than 1000 years ago... Well, it should be from the Song Dynasty." Qin Guang took a look at the box and said.

Han Le also got up from the ground at this time. Hearing Qin Guang's words, he looked at him incredulously and asked, "Is it really an ancient thing? I didn't expect you to be quite good at researching antiques."

Qin Guang smiled. He could only tell from the box that the history of this thing must not be less than 1000 years. As for why it was determined to be the Song Dynasty instead of the Tang Dynasty or an earlier dynasty, it was because of the patterns on the front of the box. In the space, engraved with a few lines of Juanxiu small characters.

"Huh? There are words on it?" Han Le also saw the handwriting on the box at this time, and tried to read it closely.

The box looks like old silver, the color looks a little old, and there are fine and delicate patterns all over it, complicated but not redundant.On the front of the box, there is a space in the center of the pattern, engraved with a few lines of small characters.After reading it, Han Le read it out in a low voice.

"Lin Hua thanked the spring red, too hastily, and had no choice but to face the cold rain and the wind at night... Rouge tears, stay drunk, when will it be heavy? Naturally, people grow up and hate water and long east..."

"What is this, why is this engraved on the box?" Han Le looked at Qin Guang and asked.

"This is Li Yu's Wu Yecry..." Qin Guang glanced at Han Le speechlessly. He remembered that this poem seemed to be in the textbook, right?
"Of course I know it's Wu Yeti, but why is it engraved on the box? Do the ancients still have such a habit?"

"..." Qin Guang looked at the box in his hand silently, a look of memory flashed in his eyes, and murmured: "Rouge tears, drunk with each other... It's natural that people grow and hate water and long east..."

"I think, I probably know what's going on. She should be here."

"He's here? Who's here? Male or female?" Han Le suddenly became nervous, looked in the direction of the door and said.

Qin Guang didn't answer his words, but pressed lightly on the lock of the box, and there was a clear "click", and the box lid opened in response.

After the box was opened, both of them looked inside, only to realize that it was still a double-layered box.In other words, this was originally a wooden box, but on the outside of the wooden box, there was another layer of silver covering.

Inside the box was a fine white powder, which faintly exuded a strange fragrance. The fragrance lingered around the box, but it didn't spread. This is probably the reason why Han Le didn't smell the smell before.

"That's right, it's the smell, my sister's smell is the same!" Han Le lowered his head and sniffed, pointing to the box in surprise.

Qin Guang smiled slightly, stroked the wooden box inside the box with his fingers, and said with some intoxication: "It's true, it's the soul-cultivating wood, a good thing..."

"Cultivating Soul Wood, what is that?" Han Le asked curiously.

Qin Guang didn't answer, just dipped some white powder on his finger, put it on his tongue and licked it.A spicy smell spread on the tip of the tongue, and the slightly astringent tip of the tongue became slightly red and swollen.

Qin Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "It really is her, I didn't expect that she is still alive. After more than 1000 years, this guy's resentment is still so heavy, this woman is too vengeful..."

What Qin Guang said to himself made Han Le a little dumbfounded. 1000 years?What's the situation, this female ghost has lived for 1000 years?But listening to the meaning of Qin Guang's words... Could it be that he has lived for more than 1000 years?
Han Le stared at Qin Guang carefully, he looked obviously younger than himself, how could he have lived for more than 1000 years?Unless he's a monster or something.

"You mean, did you read about her in some ancient book, so you know that she lived for more than 1000 years?" Han Le asked with a dry smile. Such an explanation would make sense.

Qin Guang was stunned for a moment, just now he was just casually talking subconsciously, and for a moment he forgot about Han Le beside him.But since he had already found a good reason for himself, he didn't bother to explain anything.

"Basically, I've also heard about her." Qin Guang shrugged and said.It was true that he had only heard about the incident at the beginning, and he did not know the specific situation. In the end, it was Mr. Cui Fu who was handling the matter.

Han Le breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the box in Qin Guang's hand and asked, "Is there something wrong with the rouge inside?"

"Rouge?" Qin Guang glanced at Han Le with a strange expression, shook his head and said, "This is not some kind of rouge, but..."

Under Han Le's nervous and expectant eyes, Qin Guang slowly spit out two words: "Bone meal!"

bone meal!

Han Le's heart twitched violently, and he asked with a forced smile, "What did you say? What bone meal? What do you mean?"

"Simply put, bone meal is powder made from bones, do you understand?" Qin Guang lightly raised the box in his hand and said, "The things inside are actually powder made from bones, but the bones It’s just a bit special. Of course, for ordinary people, this thing can indeed be used as rouge, and it’s the best rouge.”

Han Le stayed where he was, and it took him a while to recover. He stammered and asked, "This...what the hell is going on?"

Qin Guang glanced at Han Le, thought for a while, and said, "Have you seen Painted Skin? The ghost that is staring at your sister is similar to the woman in Painted Skin, and belongs to the same type of ghost."

"People who know her call her Rouge Girl. It is said that she seemed to be a lady from a rich family when she was alive. Later, her family fell into ruin and she made a living by selling rouge. After that, she seemed to have experienced something, probably being insulted, bullied, and ravaged. And so on, it’s a miserable death anyway.”

"The woman died with hatred. Because of too much resentment, she turned into a ghost, leaving only a bone. In us..." Qin Guang wanted to say "in our underworld", but when he was about to say it, he reacted and changed his words. Said: "In our place, she is also called the bone girl."

"After she died, she didn't reincarnate in the yin world, but no matter how angry she was, she was just a little ghost at the time, and she might die at any time in the yang world. So if she wants to survive, she must use some special methods, that is, human skin .”

Qin Guang took a look at Han Le with a tense face, and then said: "Rouge girl's bones were eroded by yin and resentment, she ground her own bones into powder, put them in a rouge box, and gave them to those young and beautiful women. Once you use the rouge made from the bones of the rouge woman, you will become more beautiful and more enchanting, and the rouge bone powder is the best cosmetic in the world."

"However, after those women's skin has completely absorbed the rouge and bone powder, their skin will slowly peel off from their bodies, and the whole skin will come off intact, but all other things in the skin will turn into blood, from the skin on the skin. At that time, Rouge Girl can take this skin as her own, and use this complete human skin to disguise herself as a *human, and ordinary people will not be able to see it at all."
