The police who visited at night did not ask Zuo Kui for anything useful, and the shop made the two policemen feel eerie, so they quickly left the place.

The young man in green casual clothes passed by the policemen, he looked back at the two policemen, blinked a few times frequently, and then turned back and walked into Zuo Kui's shop.

The young man walked between the shelves in the store for a long time, and did not seem to find what he was looking for, so he walked to the counter and said in a shrill voice:

"Boss, do you have a worm shell?"

Zuo Kui pointed to the cabinet and said, "Isn't there there?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't want those, I want better." ”

Zuo Kui looked at the young man carefully, took out a notepad and pen and handed it to him, "If you have any requirements, write them down." ”

The young man lay on the counter and began to write, his body half-curled, and when he held the pen, his elbows were shrunk in front of his chest, and the words written were crooked, like tadpoles crawling out.

Of course, it can still be interpreted.

The young man wrote: more than a hundred years, the mother of a nest; Half worm, half sperm, half dead and half alive.

Zuo Kui finished reading it and said, "I haven't seen this kind of thing yet." ”

The young man said: "It's okay, the shopkeeper can help me pay more attention, this is an extra weight." ”

The young man said, handing Zuo Kui a peculiar insect molt, this worm moult was not like any kind of insect Zuo Kui had ever seen, but he didn't ask more, but silently collected the worm molt in a wooden box covered with herbs.

After the green-clothed young man left, Zuo Kui thought for a long time like a sculpture. At last he got up, went to the back of the shop, opened the quaint cabinet with a lock next to the coffin, and took out an old red lantern from it.

Zuo Kui took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit the candle in the lantern. The flames on the candle burst violently, almost reaching the roof.

The flames gradually subsided, and Zuo Kui burned the paper written by the young man on the flames. Like a bean flame, it burned the whole paper in an instant.

An old face appeared on the lantern, and the three triangular incisions were its eyes and mouth, through which the candle flame could be seen. The folds on the lantern were like his old skin, cascading and rough.

The lantern coughed twice and spewed out a lot of sparks. It slammed its mouth into the air and looked around with two flame eyebrows.

"Boy, it's you again." The sound of the lantern urn was like an old man's voice, and his tone and voice were like that of an old man: "Noisy my old man to sleep again." ”

After complaining, the lantern slapped its non-existent nose for a long time, and said, "This codex is the taste of the mantis." ”

"What is a praying officer?" Zuo Kui asked.

The old lantern didn't answer him, it was silent, its slit eyes making it hard to fathom its thoughts.

"Gotta give him a hand, it's good." Said the old lantern.

"Where do I find that kind of thing?"

"Haha! That's a good question! The old lantern laughed, "I don't know!" ”

The old lantern dragged its handle to the backyard, as if it were being carried.

Zuo Kui followed, he watched the old lantern staring at the moon in the patio, he went to the warehouse and took out a few packs of red candles, and began to set them up near the lantern.

Soon, the candle array was swinging. The old lantern spewed flames out of its mouth and swept in a 360-degree circle, burning all the candles.

The candle flame burned brightly, illuminating the entire patio. The old lantern swayed gently in the array, and muttered:

"Ghost lights, ghost lights, everything is unknown.

Only I am the light, and I will move forward.

I don't know what to understand, I can see and hear.

The ghost domain of the gods is leading the way non-stop. ”

Suddenly, a whirlwind rolled up in the patio and lasted for a long time. The candles were extinguished one by one, until only one candle in the northwest corner remained, and its flame flickered a few times, slowing down from the verge of extinguishing and burning quietly.

Zuo Kui stepped forward and picked up the candle, he raised his head and looked at the buildings outside the courtyard wall.

"Go ahead, look for it."

The old lantern said this, yawned heavily, and flew back into the house.

Zuo Kui held the candle, left the shop, and walked to the northwest.

It was a bar street in the city, and it was a bit too noisy for Zuo Kui now. Zuo Kui shuttles among wild urban men and women, and looks maverick.

It's just that weird aura that makes everyone who passes by him dare not step forward to greet him.

The weather was not very cooperative with Zuo Kui's actions, and the breeze gusted on a hot night, which did not play a role in relieving the heat, but only set off a hotter air wave.

The flame of the candle was very faint, the size of a broad bean, but it never shook in the slightest.

Zuo Kui held the candle and let the wax oil fall low on his hand, turning from the hot liquid to solidifying. Zuo Kui watched this process indifferently, as if that was his whole world.

The candle flame went out. Zuo Kui raised his head, looked at the richly decorated bar in his hand, and glanced at the signboard:

“BrandyEmpress”

"Brandy Queen......" Zuo Kui whispered to himself, and walked in as the doorman greeted him.

The bar is quite large, with a circle of concentric circles, like a maze.

Heavy metal music stirred on the dance floor in the center, and the men and women in the bar danced like demons and went crazy.

Zuo Kui sat down at the bar on the periphery, a seat with a panoramic view of the bar, quietly watching everything here. He ignored the bartender's inquiries and walked away with a sense of humor as the bartender, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of people.

A beautiful white scene moved to Zuo Kui's side. This is a woman with outstanding appearance, she looks about thirty years old, with a proud figure, and she looks like a white lady on TV in a white and beautiful night dress, which is particularly eye-catching in such an environment.

The woman moved to Zuo Kui's side and said to the bartender, "Two glasses of queen brandy." ”

The woman said, turning her head to Zuo Kui: "A cup for this gentleman." ”

The wine was placed in front of Zuo Kui. He glanced at the woman, and then uttered his own ugly voice:

"Thank you."

"This is our signature wine, which is the opposite of the name of the store." The woman smiled at Zuo Kui, her glow seductive: "Taste it?" ”

Zuo Kui drank a little and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink." ”

The woman said, "What does the gentleman know better?" ”

"Something that people like you aren't very interested in."

"Someone like me?" The woman curled the corners of her mouth: "What kind of person do you think I am?" ”

Zuo Kui stared at him for a moment, the noisy voice became a little ethereal, and time passed quietly between the two, as if it stood still.

"People who want too much." Zuo Kui said lightly.

The woman was stunned for a moment, she looked at Zuo Kui for a moment, and finally smiled: "What about you?" Don't you have a desire? ”

"To live is to have desires."

The woman stood up and leaned on Zuo Kui's body, her proud body rubbing Zuo Kui's arm.

"Then let's go and vent our desires." The woman whispered in Zuo Kui's ear.

The warm moisture blew into Zuo Kui's ears.

Zuo Kui stood up, was hooked by the woman's arms, bypassed the seats and the dance floor, and walked towards the bar.

The bar was much deeper than Zuo Kui had imagined. The woman led Zuo Kui for a long time, went upstairs again, and finally entered a room.

It's an atmospheric place to live, with a warm-toned layout and soft, dim lighting that will make it easy for anyone to think about it.

The woman pulled Zuo Kui and threw him into the sofa, and the whole person sat on him, fiercely poking her tongue into Zuo Kui's mouth, and her hand also probed into Zuo Kui's lower body.

Suddenly, the woman's closed eyes widened, and she jumped away from Zuo Kui's body like an electric shock, staring at Zuo Kui's indifferent eyes.

"You...... What is it? The woman looked at Zuo Kui and said.

Zuo Kui stood up, put his hand into his arms, and said, "There is no such thing as desire." ”

Before Zuo Kui's hand could take anything out of his arms, he was restrained by two strange forces, and he couldn't move. He turned his head to look behind him, and found that at some point, he was already crawling with termites. These termites locked Zuo Kui's joints just right before he exerted his strength, and he couldn't move.

The woman laughed and gently pushed Zuo Kui back into the sofa, she stretched out her tongue and licked Zuo Kui's face, and her smile became evil:

"Don't worry, no matter what you are, I will treat you well."
