Shi Zicheng stood up, took out a money bag from his pocket, handed it to the woman, and said respectfully, "Madam boss, we don't stay in the hotel, we are just passing by.
"
The woman stretched out her white hand, picked up the money bag with two fingers, weighed it, and then looked at Shi Zicheng lazily, "Where are you from? Where are you going?"
"We can't stay in the Yang world anymore, so a few of us want to go to the Demon Clan.
"Shi Zicheng said, "It's all just to survive. I hope the landlady will make it easier for me.
"
The landlady glanced at Yuchen, and finally her eyes fell on me, "Why are you bringing a living person?"
Yuchen took a step forward and protected me behind him, "She is my wife, she is pregnant, and she wants to go to the Demon Clan with me.
"
“It’s more than half a step for a living person to enter, but it’s easy to get in but difficult to get out.
Whether your wife can get out alive depends on your ability.
"The landlady came over, raised her hand, and caressed Yuchen's face with her green-white fingertips, "You look very much to my taste. If your wife dies, just stay half a step away to accompany me, okay?
"
Yuchen turned his head, avoiding the landlady's hand, and said coldly, "I won't let her die.
"
Hearing this, the landlady giggled loudly, her branches quivering with laughter, "Brother, not only do you look like me, but I also like your little temper, sister.
But sister, I never force anyone. I will wait for you to beg me.
"
After saying that, she turned back and hooked her beautiful fingers, "You all come with me.
"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked into the tree hole.
Shi Zicheng said to Yuchen that the proprietress had such a temper and told him not to take it seriously.
Then follow him in.
Yuchen and I walked at the end.
I asked Yuchen in a low voice if he knew where this place was?
Yuchen replied, "This is more than half a step, and it is the place that connects the human world, the demon world, and the fairy world.
"
Banbuduo only opens once a day, and if you miss the opening, you have to wait until the next day. Therefore, people from Qiaoduo who go to other areas will stay here.
The woman just now is the proprietress of Banbuduo Inn.
I didn't understand, so I asked again, "Doesn't becoming an immortal directly ascend? Why does it take more than half a step?"
Hearing my question, Shi Zicheng, who was walking in front, turned back to look at me and answered me, "Aling, you can regard half a step as the last test to become an immortal.
After the immortals ascend, they will first come to more than half a step. This place is full of all kinds of temptations. If they cannot stand the temptations, the immortals who are not strong-willed will not be able to become immortals and will only become demons.
Becoming a Buddha with just one thought, becoming a demon with just one thought, all in just half a step.
The immortals who fell into demons after only half a step were no less successful than the immortals who could not bear the hardships of cultivation and became demons.
"
Speaking of this, Shi Zicheng seemed to have thought of something, and reminded me with a serious expression, "Aling, you are an ordinary person now. You must not be able to stand those distorted desires, so after entering, you lowered your head.
, stare at your toes and never look up.
Just grab Yuchen's hand and follow Yuchen.
"
I nodded quickly and said I got it.
It can even seduce the immortal family, which shows how powerful this place is.
I am an ordinary person with all kinds of emotions, including love, hate, greed, and anger. I have a lot of them. Wouldn’t it be easier to seduce me? Moreover, I don’t want to face my own desires at all.
The reason why people are human is that they know how to control their emotions, have reason, and know how to control the desires in their hearts.
But here, the most terrifying and ugliest desires in my heart are expanded and then displayed.
I was afraid that I would see something terrible inside of me.
Inside the tree hole is a spiral staircase going down. It is very dark all around. The stairs are covered with luminous stone slabs, emitting a faint green light. The light is very weak, and people can barely see the stairs under their feet, but if they want to use
It's impossible to see clearly around you with these lights.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I saw the exit.
The exit is a circular door, shining with bright white light.
The light was so dazzling that I couldn't see clearly what was inside the door.
Yuchen reminded me to lower my head.
I said yes, then quickly lowered my head and stared at my toes.
Following Yuchen out of the tree hole, the light suddenly brightened.
I was so stung that I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I found that I was already walking on the street. There was a road paved with bluestones under my feet. There were many people on the road. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry and walked very fast.
I couldn't raise my head, so I could only see the feet of these people, some wearing modern leather shoes and some wearing ancient boots. I guess these people are not human.
After walking a few steps, I saw the hem of the boss lady's bright red cheongsam, a pair of fair and round calves, and a pair of red high heels.
She stood in front and said in a charming and soft voice, "What a coincidence, the time has passed and the door to the demon clan has been closed.
You can only stay here for one night.
"
"Madam boss, please stop teasing us," Shi Zicheng said, "We came here based on time, we can't pass..."
"I said it, it's over!" The landlady interrupted Shi Zicheng, her voice was still smiling, but a little more majestic, "My aunt is the god here! My aunt said you can't leave today, then...
You definitely can’t leave! Big guy, if you don’t believe my aunt, you should get out of here right now, I won’t accept you even after half a step!”
"We stay in the hotel.
" Yuchen said.
Hearing Yuchen speak, the landlady walked over and said with a smile, "The handsome guy is still sensible.
My sister will get a room for you right now. Come on, follow your sister.
"
As she spoke, she reached out to hold Yuchen's hand.
Yuchen took his hand away and said coldly to the boss's wife, "Boss, just lead the way. I can follow."
"
"Brother, you are so stingy that you won't even let me touch you," the landlady said with a smile, "But my sister likes you like this.
"
Talk to Shi Zicheng and call yourself grand aunt.
Talk to Yuchen and call yourself sister.
He's good-looking, and he's a generation higher than Shizicheng.
I was very unhappy with the way the landlady seduced Yuchen.
I'm still here! Yuchen even said that I'm his wife. Is she blind and can't see me? She thinks I'm just air!
But no matter how angry I am, I can only endure it and don't dare to show it at all.
This is the landlady's territory, and Yuchen is always polite to her. Of course, I don't have the guts to offend her.
I held Yuchen's hand and lowered my head all the way.
After walking for about ten minutes, we walked into an inn.
I didn't dare to look up, but from the decoration on the ground, I could tell that this was a large and luxuriously decorated inn.
There are about a hundred tables in the lobby, and the tables and chairs are all made of huanghuali. At this time, there are several tables of guests in the inn who are drinking.
The proprietress twisted her waist, walked to the counter, and told the waiter, "Open three upper rooms for them.
"
Yuchen said, "Two rooms are enough.
"
"That's okay?" the landlady said with a chuckle, "You have to sleep alone today, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to go to your room to find you.
"
I really can’t bear it anymore. Do you think I’m dead?
I was so angry that I took a deep breath. I neither dared to raise my head to glare at others nor did I have the courage to curse them.
But it makes me so frustrated.
At this time, Yuchen stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms. He clasped the back of my neck and put my forehead against his chest. He looked at the boss’s wife and said, “Boss, you came to the room to find me.”
inconvenient.
I don't care, but my wife is thin-skinned, and if someone sees her intimate things, she will be angry with me.
When she gets angry, some people will be in trouble just to make her happy.
"
The landlady was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Little handsome guy, are you threatening me? Haha, interesting.
"
"Madam boss, Yuchen doesn't mean that. He just loves his human wife too much. Don't argue with him.
"Shi Zicheng took out another bag of money and handed it to the proprietress.
"You are sensible.
"The landlady took the money bag over.
While they were talking, Yuchen pulled me upstairs.
I still didn't dare to raise my head, so I could only follow him, tugged his hand hard, and asked him in a low voice, "Can I let Shi Zicheng handle it alone?"
"At worst, that woman will come find me.
"Yu Chen said, "If she dares to quarrel, I will demolish her shop to vent your anger!"
He didn't lower his voice. At this volume, everyone in the inn heard it!
I panicked, turned around and saw the landlady looking up.
Because I was standing on the stairs and the landlady was standing in the lobby, I lowered my head and could still see her.
Our eyes met, and soon I felt a buzz in my head, and things in front of me began to change.
