Chapter 507: People's Hearts

Most of human actions are driven by various desires.

Eating can be said to be an important instinct of the human body and a prerequisite for survival. Many human actions are driven by eating, and they act for eating.

The practice of Taoism, the pursuit of the way of heaven and realm, and even all desires for power and knowledge are an important driving force for monks to act.

It can be said that most of the things that humans and monks do, except for some emotions that come from non-desires such as responsibilities and dreams, the motivation of most people mainly comes from their own desires.

When the desire for food and strength was all wiped out by Zhou Bai, whether it was Yan Shan or Meng Ruocun, it seemed that they had lost their life goals all of a sudden, and the whole person exuded a laziness from the inside out.

Yan Shan lay down on the back of the chair all of a sudden, and thought to himself: "Ah, a peerless genius like Zhou Bai, who has practiced for a few days, may be as good as me for a few years, and I still think that I can beat him. What are you thinking?"

Suddenly losing the two major motivations of eating and practicing, Yan Shan suddenly felt lifeless, and only thought in his heart: "After thinking about it, it's still interesting to be a woman, or I'd better go back to the central city to find a girl student." Shall the child go?"

He turned his head suddenly: "If this dream exists, it seems to be pretty good."

He... was suddenly diverted by other desires.

Meng Ruocun on the other side climbed up from the bottom step by step relying on talent since she was a child. Most of her desires are food and yearning for powerful power. Without these desires suddenly, she just feels that life is meaningless. a feeling of.

"One meal that Zhou Bai eats casually every day is enough for me to squander ten days and a half months." Meng Ruocun sighed softly in his heart: "I tried my best to climb up and practice hard, but I can't compare to him who cultivates casually. For a few days, compared to him, I was like a mess."

"Then what's the point of what I'm doing now?"

Meng Ruocun directly put his head on the table, and the whole person fell into a state of salty fish with nothing to love.

Seeing the situation of the two of them, Zhou Bai gradually realized something in his heart: "It seems that food and strength are indeed the main desires of most people. Once these two main desires are removed, people will become salted fish." .but……"

Zhou Bai looked at Qiu Xingze. Unlike Yan Shan and Meng Ruocun, although there was a little more tiredness in the eyes of the other party, he still didn't feel bored with life, because in his life besides desires, there were also responsibilities and ideals.

Qiu Xingze looked at Zhou Bai, and sighed inwardly, "Compared to Zhou Bai, an unrivaled genius, I'm just like a toad lying on the ground. No matter how long I practice, I'm afraid I won't be able to match him."

But at the next moment, a new fighting spirit flashed in his eyes: "In the future, I should focus on the projects of the Ministry of Plague and the affairs of Gu Letian, especially this time, the matter of Gu Letian is too harmful. To catch him."

Qiu Xingze stared at Zhou Bai and said, "Zhou Bai, can you please tell me how you met Gu Letian and how you started doing business with him? Please tell me everything you know about him. tell us."

Looking at the performance of the three people in front of him, Zhou Bai had a clear understanding of their changes, combined with his understanding of greed, he made a judgment in his heart.

"After obliterating some desires, everyone's reaction is different. It all depends on their original personality and three views." Seeing this, Zhou Bai felt an interesting feeling in his heart, as if he was casually It's like playing with people's hearts.

"In the past, my application of the disaster of poverty and disaster of foolishness was very rough."

"If I add the ability of covetousness now, I can control people's hearts in a more subtle way. Although the duration of each time is limited, it is enough to change a person's thinking if it is truly subtle."

"And what will happen if we continue to use it directly, simply and rudely in conjunction with each other, and continue to obliterate other desires? Is it more salty? Or is it some kind of more extreme reaction?"

Zhou Bai wanted to continue to try the ability of covetousness, he was very curious about what would happen if the obliteration of covetousness continued. But the next experiment is not suitable to continue with Zhou Bai's identity.

'Well... the original plan needs to be changed, the effect of covetousness is more useful than I imagined. '

Before Zhou Bai made the last vote in Xishan City, he had already prepared for it. He made some plans for the investigators that the Heavenly Court might send to clear himself of the suspicion.

But today, he opened up the ability of covetousness, and after experimenting, he felt good, which gave Zhou Bai a lot of inspiration and curiosity.

So now he has temporarily decided to change his original plan a little bit.

So when he heard Qiu Xingze's question, Zhou Bai fell silent, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said a little unbearably, "Let him go over the past, okay? I'll just treat it as points and throw it into the water." , you don’t want to investigate anymore, you won’t get any results.”

Seeing Zhou Bai's frightened victim appearance, Qiu Xingze immediately sensed something was going on, and quickly asked, "Don't worry about Zhou Bai, this investigation was led by the Ministry of Plague, and Zhenjun Luo, the righteous god of the Ministry of Plague, was in charge. The strength far exceeds that of the past, no matter how powerful Gu Letian is, can he still fight against the Heavenly Court?"

Under the comfort of Qiu Xingze, Zhou Bai gradually mustered up his courage and told the process of how he knew Gu Letian.

"The first time I saw him was in a dream." Zhou Bai showed a trace of palpitation and hesitation on his face, like a frightened child, and said intermittently: "I dreamed of him in a dream."

Qiu Xingze asked in surprise, "It turned out to be in a dream?"

Zhou Bai said painfully: "He whispered to me in his dream, spreading evil and taboo knowledge to me, and kept asking me to see him."

Qiu Xingze: "What do you mean by evil and taboo knowledge?"

Zhou Bai: "It's the knowledge about investment, wealth, and financial management. At first, I found out that they were treasures, but I later learned that they were part of some kind of evil ritual."

Qiu Xingze recalled what happened to those fairy gods. Several of them seemed crazy. He nodded in agreement, took out a pen and paper and began to record: "Will you still use this knowledge now?"

"No!" Zhou Bai said, "What I hate the most now is the damn points, I will never touch points again!"

Qiu Xingze recorded it: the subject of the investigation is very sensitive and resistant to points.

Qiu Xingze asked: "Then do you know why you can dream about him?"

A trace of trance flashed in Zhou Bai's eyes: "It's because of a book. I picked up a book on the way to campus." He suddenly looked at Qiu Xingze: "After reading that book that day, I I dreamed about him at night."

"Book?" Qiu Xingze's eyes showed a hint of excitement, feeling that he had finally found an important clue, this time Donghua City was really not in vain.
