Song Ciwan followed Niu Laoliu and saw that after he turned into an alley, he staggered for a while, and finally stopped in front of a short wooden door that was rich in color and old, like a patchwork.
There are various feathers and shells inserted above the wooden door. At first glance, these small things are arranged in an arc, as if they form a strange smiling face!
Song Ciwan felt as if he smelled some kind of unpleasant fishy smell just by looking at it.
Niu Laoliu stopped in front of the wooden door, but as if he smelled some wonderful fragrance, he closed his eyes and sniffed intoxicatedly for a moment, and then he held the rattle on his waist and knocked gently on the wooden door.
He knocked on the door five times in a rhythm of three long and two short, and a low voice like a crow came from the door: "Come in!"
Niu Laoliu rubbed the rattle on his waist, gritted his teeth, pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing that hit my face was an indescribable hot smell. In the steaming hot air, the red light in the room made people dizzy.
Niu Laoliu carefully walked around the burning charcoal pots on the ground and knelt down in front of a crow-green cloth banner in the middle of the hut.
Behind the banner, there seemed to be a shadowy figure sitting upright. The figure had tall shoulders and a bald head. He said in a low and hoarse voice: "Mortal, have you already made a decision in your heart?"
Niu Laoliu had already made his decision, so the drunken look on his face disappeared, and he said seriously and respectfully: "Reporting to Master Wu, I went back to investigate carefully. The murder of my Niuniu is absolutely inseparable from the Hongsheng Martial Arts School! Please! The villain is willing to pay any price for the help of the real person, just asking for the blood of the evil person!"
After speaking, Niu Laoliu kowtowed three times to the figure behind the banner.
As he kowtowed, Song Ciwan clearly saw a wisp of fine white air mixed with scarlet rising from Niu Laoliu's head.
This wisp of red and white air fluttered, and suddenly passed through the crow-blue cloth flag, and fell into the hands of the figure behind the cloth flag!
No, to be more precise, the figure sitting upright was holding a clean bottle in his hand. This ray of red and white air clearly fell into this pure bottle.
When Song Ciwan looked at this, his heart suddenly moved.
This breath... is very similar to the "human desire" collected by Tiandi Scale.
Such "human desires" should originally be invisible to ordinary people's naked eyes. Even if Song Ciwan had developed spiritual awareness in the past, he still could not directly see the existence of "human desires". She could only see the form of human beings after being harvested through the scales of heaven and earth.
And now that she has seen it, what does this mean?
Did she have some wonderful breakthrough in her own cultivation?
Or... this actually has nothing to do with Song Ciwan herself. The fundamental reason why she has a special perspective and can observe the existence of "human desire" with the naked eye is that she has passed through That "door"?
On the floating platform of Huanming City, the monks worked together to push open the "door". After entering the door, Song Ciwan came to the "human world" instead.
Song Ciwan thought to herself that she was not the only one who came to the "human world". It should be that all the monks who passed through that door came to the "human world".
They are both in the "human world" and isolated from the human world. They also have a special perspective that can observe "human desires" with the naked eye!
All of this... I have to say that it is really strange and confusing.
After seeing "human desire" with the naked eye, what should they do next?
Song Ciwan didn't know what others would do, but she suddenly had an idea.
She decided to give it a try.
So she stepped lightly and passed through the curtain.
On the other side of the curtain, Niu Laoliu, who was kneeling on the ground, was still kowtowing and praying. While he was kowtowing, there was air coming out from the top of his head. The air passed through the curtain one by one, and finally flew towards Inside the pure bottle in the hand of the figure behind the curtain.
Song Ciwan saw the true appearance of the figure behind the curtain.
It's hard to tell whether this one is a human or a demon.
I saw this man wearing a crow-green feather cloak. He was obviously sitting upright, but his back was arched high, and his gray hair was scattered behind him. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his mouth was open. Pointy raised.
At first glance, they don’t look like human lips, but like the beaks of birds!
This appearance is enough to be terrifying.
This Wu Zhenren's eyes are more white than black, and there is an inexplicable red light flashing in the depths of the mung bean-like pupils, and a strange and frightening feeling surges fiercely in him.
For a moment, Song Ciwan even felt that Master Wu had seen him!
But soon, Song Ciwan denied this conjecture. She believed that her current "invisible state" should still be safe.
Why is it so confirmed?
Because just as Niu Laoliu kept kowtowing, when another wisp of "human desire" flew over, Song Ciwan suddenly stretched out his hand and caught this wisp of "human desire"!
The scales of heaven and earth appeared, and the moment Song Ciwan caught "human desire", he intercepted it cleanly.
[Human desires, mortal hatred, fear, and worry can be sold for two taels or one penny. 】
[Human desires, mortal hatred, fear, and worry can be sold for one to two or five cents. 】
[Human desires, mortal hatred, fear, and worry can be sold for one or two or three coins. 】
【Human desire...】
Song Ciwan waved his palm and captured six strands of "human desire" one after another.
Wu Zhenren, who was sitting upright, showed no reaction at all. He just held the purification bottle in his hand, suddenly shook the purification bottle slightly, then frowned and said, "Mortal, are you really willing to pay any price?"
Niu Laoliu repeatedly begged: "The villain is willing! Please help the real person!"
Wu Zhen said: "Then why is your heart not pious?"
Niu Laoliu could only cry out: "The villain is extremely pious and will never waver in the slightest. Please help me from the real person!"
Wu Zhen said: "In this case, you should be tortured with charcoal and walk through the fire to prove your piety."
What does it mean to be tortured with charcoal and walk on the road of fire?
Song Ciwan didn't understand it at first, but soon, she understood.
Niu Laoliu took off his shoes and socks without saying a word, raised his foot and stepped on a charcoal basin on the ground.
Sizzle!
The moment one sets foot on it, the aroma of burnt meat comes out!
Niu Laoliu was sweating profusely in pain, and a ball of strong human desire rushed out.
This group of people had less white energy and more red energy. They passed through the cloth banner and went straight towards the pure bottle in Wu Zhenren's hand!
Song Ciwan frowned slightly and moved her palms, but this time, she did not choose to continue cutting off her beard.
She observed silently.
Wu Zhenren, who was holding a purification bottle in his hand, shook the purification bottle in his hand, and a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face.
On the other side of the curtain, Niu Laoliu stepped on the charcoal basin with his bare feet, sparks flying from his feet.
He lifted his feet, walked past one charcoal basin, and then walked towards another charcoal basin ahead.
Red and white gas kept coming out of his head, and he kept shouting: "Master, this villain is extremely pious, please help me!"
"Please help me!"
"Please help me!"
…
Sound after sound, sweat and blood dripped together, and in an instant they were mixed into the ashes of the coals.
