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 lazily at Shi Zicheng, "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 just to survive, and I hope the boss lady will make it easier."
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 get in, 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, you can stay with me for a little while, 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 good to me, but I also like your little temper, sister. But as for me, sister, I never force anyone.
I'm waiting 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 told Yuchen that the proprietress had such a temper and told him not to take it seriously. Then he followed in.
Yuchen and I walked last.
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 Inn only opens once a day. If you miss the opening, you have to wait until the next day. Therefore, many people who go to other places 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 do you have to go through more than half a step?"
Hearing my question, Shi Zicheng, who was walking in front, looked back at me and answered me, "A Ling, you can regard half a step as the last test to become an immortal. After the immortal family ascends, they will first go to half a step.
There are many steps here, which are full of all kinds of temptations. Immortals who cannot stand the temptation and are weak-minded will not be able to become immortals, but can only become demons. Becoming a Buddha with one thought and becoming a demon with one thought can all take more than half a step. Immortals who fall into demons can only become demons after more than half a step.
The family is no less than the immortal family who cannot bear the suffering of cultivation and becomes a demon."
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.
Even immortals can seduce, 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 it at all.
own desires.
The reason why people are human is because 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 am very afraid that I will see something inside me.
What a terrible thing.
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, which emits bright white light. The light is so dazzling that it is difficult to see what is 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 up. I was so stung that I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened my eyes, 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
They all 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'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. Time has passed.
Yes, 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 still smiling, but a little more majestic, "My aunt is the god here! My aunt said that you can't leave today, so 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'll stay in the hotel," Yuchen said.
Hearing Yuchen speak, the landlady walked over and said with a smile, "Young handsome guy is still sensible. My sister will get a room for you right now. Come on, follow me."
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."
When talking to Shi Zicheng, she calls herself aunt. When talking to Yuchen, she calls herself sister. She is good-looking and is a generation higher than Shi Zicheng.
I'm very unhappy with the way the landlady is seducing Yuchen. I'm still here! Yuchen says I'm his wife, is she blind and can't see me? She thinks I'm nothing!
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 were about a hundred tables in the lobby, and the tables and chairs were all made of huanghuali. At this time, there were
Several tables of customers were drinking.
The proprietress twisted her waist, walked to the counter, and told the waiter, "Offer them three upper rooms."
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 I was 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 on his chest. He looked at the boss’s wife and said, “Boss, you came to the room to find me.”
It's inconvenient. I don't care, but my wife is thin-skinned and if her intimate things are seen by others, she will be angry with me. When she is angry, some people will be unlucky in order 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 lady boss.
"You are sensible." The landlady took the money bag.
While they were talking, Yuchen pulled me upstairs. I still didn't dare to raise my head, so I could only follow behind him, tugged his hand hard, and asked him in a low voice, "Let Shizicheng handle it alone, okay?"
?”
"The worst that happens is that woman comes here." Yuchen said, "If she dares to quarrel with her, 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 in my heart, 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.
