Chapter Ninety-Five, The Messenger of Avoiding Greed

As soon as Xu Ke stepped into the fifth-floor pavilion, he heard someone above him talking. When he looked up, he saw the man who spoke, very tall, but with a very strange face. I saw that person, with broad cheeks and teeth, wide mouth and shrugged cheeks, big nose and thin eyes, narrow forehead and wide eyebrows, and the facial features of this face, no matter how you look at it, it is uncomfortable. If this person is in the downtown of Chang'an City, he will be frightened and others will flee in all directions. The man's face was full of cyan stripes, and at this moment, a pair of small triangular eyes were staring at Xu Ke tightly.

Xu Ke saw a blue-faced man with such an ugly face at first glance, looking straight at him, and couldn't help but be stunned. But when he thought about it, this was the God King Pavilion after all, and the people who guarded the pavilion didn't have anything? He bowed to the blue-faced man and replied loudly:

"In Xia Xu Ke, I have seen the 'Messenger of Quitting Greed'!"

The anti-corruption envoy nodded at Xu Ke and said, "This is the fifth floor in the Divine King Pavilion-'Anti-Corruption Building'!

Xu Ke looked around, and saw that this floor of the pavilion was no different from the previous floors, it was still a circular red wall, and there was a huge pillar in the middle. He clasped his fist again at the messenger of the Prohibition of Greed and asked:

"Dare to ask the envoy of anti-greed, how can I go to the next level?"

"The stairs are there!" the messenger of greed nodded to the right of the front, where there stood a wooden ladder that seemed to lead to the sixth floor. Xu Ke was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately walked towards the staircase.

Xu Ke was just about to lift his leg up the ladder, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He thought to himself, this seems too simple, right? The people who guarded the pavilion on every floor before said that you only need to go up, but there are always some tasks waiting for you to complete. Could it be that after the fourth floor, the situation becomes different?

At that moment, Xu Ke turned to the envoy and asked, "Dare to ask the envoy, is there nothing on this floor that I need to complete?"

"No!" replied indifferently.

"If I just get up the ladder like this, I can go up to the sixth floor of the pavilion?" Xu Ke asked again.

"......" This time, the messenger of anti-greed simply stopped talking.

Xu Ke shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, it doesn't matter what he does! Let's go upstairs first! Sister Hu of that world, who is still waiting for me to save her "Ah Ke"! She pleaded with me so solemnly, how can I bear her trust? I heard that the old white pavilion master is in the thirteenth-story pavilion, I have to hurry up at this time!

At that moment, he didn't hesitate, his feet moved, and he walked up to the sixth floor......

Walking into the sixth floor, Xu Ke looked left and right, this floor pavilion and the fifth floor pavilion were still exactly the same, and even the person guarding the pavilion was the blue-faced and long-standing "anti-corruption messenger".

"Hey, the messenger of greed?...... Why are you still you?" Xu Ke wondered.

The blue-faced and ugly-faced man snorted, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

"Dare to ask the 'Envoy of Corruption Abstainment', is this the sixth floor pavilion? Why is this floor exactly the same as the one below?"

"Excuse me...... Is this really the sixth floor?"

"Excuse me...... How do I go up?"

"Hey ......"

But no matter how Xu Ke asked, the blue-faced and ugly-faced man was silent. He stood silently in the middle of the pavilion, as if it were just an ornament.

Xu Ke walked around the sixth floor pavilion a few times, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he immediately walked up, walked up the stairs, and entered the seventh floor pavilion.

Unexpectedly, when it came to the seventh layer of the pavilion, the situation was still exactly the same as that of the sixth layer of the pavilion. Xu Ke came up with a bullish temper, so he simply didn't bother with the "anti-corruption messenger", found the wooden staircase, and went up with his feet!

Next, the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors...... It's all the same, not the slightest difference.

Xu Ke only cared about himself and walked forward, he silently thought about the number of floors upstairs in his heart, and connected to the seventh floor in one breath, and finally, he climbed to the top floor.

The top floor is no different from the bottom, but standing in the center of the thirteenth floor, it is no longer an ugly-looking "Messenger of Quitting Greed", but an old man in a white robe with fluttering hair. Xu Ke remembered that when he entered the cabinet that day, he kicked him hard in the back buttocks.

Xu Ke didn't expect that he would ascend to the top floor of the God King Pavilion so easily. Previously, he had only walked four floors, and he didn't know how much time and energy he had spent. He really didn't dare to think that the next eight floors of pavilions in a row had been completed by him in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the old white pavilion master with white eyebrows and acting like a fairy was already sitting in front of him.

Could it be that this God King Pavilion is only the most difficult to walk through the previous four floors, and when it comes to the back, it is nothing?

Yes, since he entered the Divine King Pavilion, this first and second layers had already made him tired and exhausted. Finally walked up, and when he reached the third floor, he crossed the Void Gate and came to the past, and followed his second brother Zhu Wuneng to Baqi Island in Yingzhou, and experienced a desperate fight with the Baqi Snake. And the most vivid memory for him is the fourth layer of the pavilion, he through the cloud shadow bead through the power of time and space, traveled to the future, in the world ten years later, he and Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei and other four strange women in the world, day by day together, even if the sky is dark, the world falls into a demonic disaster, he is not willing to leave a step. If it weren't for Hu Yiyi begging him to save the "self" in the heavenly court, he might never want to come back......

In Xu Ke's heart, it was just a mere four-story pavilion, which had consumed almost all of his efforts. Especially the fourth floor pavilion that he just left, he is still immersed in the memories of the world ten years later, and he really can't tell whether the "he" ten years later is him, or is he "him" at this moment?

"Don't think about it too much, and let's go out of the pavilion first!Perhaps, this God King Pavilion is only the most difficult on the previous four floors, and the rest are all furnishings?" Xu Ke sorted out his thoughts, and when he returned to the reality in front of him, there was only one thought left in his heart, that is, to plead with the White Old Pavilion Lord as soon as possible, so that he could try to rescue the "self" ten years later......

Xu Ke hurriedly walked forward, bowed to Bai Wusheng, and was about to say aloud:

"Xu Mou meets the old white pavilion master!"

Suddenly, the "White Old Pavilion Master" opened his eyes, but his nostrils "snorted". Xu Ke remembered this demeanor clearly, as if he was still the previous "Messenger of Quitting Greed". Xu Ke knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and the person fell straight down......

On the way down, Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh: "I really committed greed......

When he fell to the ground, he slowly got up and looked around, only to feel that the scene around him was very familiar.

"You're here again?" a clear man's voice sounded in his ears, and in front of him came an old man with a childish face and fluttering clothes.

Xu Ke looked up, and immediately smiled bitterly, only to see that the man with a smile on his face was the "Old Man of Shuiyue" who had taught him swordsmanship and internal skills before. It seems that he has fallen back into the first floor.

Xu Ke couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, he didn't want to climb up eight floors in a row, and in the end, he couldn't go up the first floor, and he actually returned to the first floor!

"How am I ...... Back to the first floor of the pavilion?" Xu Ke stood up, scratched his forehead, and wondered.

The old man of Shuiyue smiled: "Then you have to ask yourself!"

Xu Ke had no choice but to show what he had seen after he went up to the fifth floor pavilion and read it with the old man Shuiyue. In the end, he asked Shui Yue for help, asking how to go up to the sixth layer of the pavilion?

After thinking for a while, the old man Shuiyue immediately said: "Quit corruption, you naturally have to think about the word 'greed' all the time! Everything ...... Don't overdo it!"

"I naturally know this! It's just that I went upstairs according to the instructions of the envoy to quit greed, why did I suddenly fall down?" Xu Ke still wondered.

"How did he point you out?" asked the old man Suizuki.

"He was Nunuzui and told me to go up the stairs. Xu Ke replied.

The old man of Shuiyue laughed and said, "That 'brother who quit greed', he just bowed his mouth towards the stairs, did he personally explain to you that as long as you enter the stairs, you can go to the next level?"

"This ...... He didn't say it explicitly. Xu Ke said.

The old man said: "Then you think about it again......"

Xu Ke said: "It seems that there is a mystery hidden on the 'staircase' that the messenger of anti-greed is referring to?"

"You can teach you!" the old man smiled and said, "You go up and try again!"

Xu Ke asked, "How should I go up?"

The old man said: "How did you go up before, and now you still go up like this!"

Xu Ke said helplessly: "Okay!"

Xu Ke had to shake his spirits, stepped again, passed the stairs of the first floor of the pavilion, and stepped into the second floor of the pavilion.

This floor is the mirror flower building, but there is no mirror flower lady in the building at this time. He wandered around the level for a long time, hesitating whether to enter the Ancient Mirror again. Suddenly, I saw a huge bronze mirror, and there was a staircase on the back.

"It turns out that this 'Mirror Flower Ancient Mirror' itself is a staircase!" Xu Ke scratched his forehead, sighed secretly, and followed the ancient mirror ladder and stepped into the third floor of the pavilion.

Similarly, the Void Boy was missing from the pavilion on the third floor. However, the Void Boy had previously drawn the "Void Staircase" with a green pen, and the Void Boy was dangling in the middle of the floor. Xu Ke still raised his legs and stepped into the fourth floor of the pavilion on the ladder that rippled like water lines.

Entering the fourth floor pavilion, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness in his heart. Suddenly, he wanted to hold the Cloud Shadow Bead in his hand again and travel back ten years later. Somehow, as soon as he thought of the four sisters in that world, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart......

In the end, does he belong to that world, or is this world? In the end, should he accompany them in Jiazi's twelve-line life wheel, or accompany them in Yichou's eight-line life wheel? In Xu Ke's heart, he fell into a dilemma again. In the depths of his heart, it was like two worlds, and he didn't want to lose either of them, and he didn't want to leave the other......

Xu Ke paced back and forth in the Cloud Shadow Building, reluctant to go upstairs for a long time. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Brother Shadow, are you there? Can you borrow that bead from Xu again?"

His echo rang out in the empty floor, but no one showed up to speak to him, and the Cloud Shadow True Man was like the two floors below, and he didn't know where he was going.

Xu Ke sighed helplessly, so he had to walk to the bamboo ladder and step up the ladder. Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light at the top of the pavilion, and when he looked up, he saw a fist-sized bead floating above his head.

He took a closer look, and the bead was shiny and crystalline, and it was the "Cloud Shadow Bead" that had just accompanied him for several months. At this moment, the cloud shadow bead floated steadily in the air, motionless, as if lying flat there sleeping.

Xu Ke's heart moved, and he immediately performed light skills, jumped up, grabbed the cloud shadow bead in the air and fell to the ground. He held the Spirit Bead in both hands, thinking about it in his heart, and in the end, he still decided to urge the Cloud Shadow Bead again.

He only felt that in the world ten years later, he really left too many regrets, and the most reassuring thing for him was his Yan'er. At that time, under the urging of Yunying Zhenren, he was in too much of a hurry, and he couldn't see Yan'er for the last time.

Xu Ke's thumb Shaoshang acupoint and index finger Shangyang acupoint of both hands were each against the two ends of the cloud shadow bead. He secretly lucked the sea true yuan, and a mixed yuan true qi was gradually poured into the spirit bead. A smile gradually appeared on his face, and he just waited for the spirit bead to shine, and he was about to cross again......

If he could be allowed to go back again, he must immediately find the Yan'er ten years later. He wanted to confess to her loudly that the girl he had always been most reluctant to bear in his heart was actually her Yan'er! He also repeatedly told Yan'er not to wait for him after he left! Don't be sad! He must find someone to marry and live this life well. If there is a fate in the next life, he still wants to be with her again......

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke ran the True Yuan until it was halfway through, but the cloud shadow bead in his hand did not react, not only did it not move, but it also failed to emit even a trace of light.

Xu Ke was puzzled in his heart, he grabbed the cloud shadow bead in his hand, shook it vigorously, and questioned loudly

Said: "You beads, why don't they work?!"

"Don't let people sleep!" With a steady and heavy voice, Yunying's fat figure also appeared in front of Xu Ke's eyes.

"Brother Shadow, you're here, why did your bead fail?" Xu Ke hurriedly asked. He was about to hand over the Cloud Shadow Bead in his hand to the real person, but when he looked at the palm of his hand at this time, the spirit bead that was still in his palm just now had disappeared without a trace.

"Huh...... What about the Cloud Shadow Bead?" Xu Ke said in surprise.

"I said, Old Xu, what should I say about you!" The cloud shadow real person touched his belly and said sleepily:

"You've finished this Cloud Shadow Building, but you still want to cross it again! This Jiazi Twelve Lines Life Wheel has nothing to do with you, but you still think about those celebrities! You are so reluctant, you want to have both...... Isn't that a crime of 'greed'?"

"That's right, I'm so reluctant, I want to have both, isn't that just greedy?" Xu Ke chewed this sentence repeatedly in his heart, and suddenly felt empowered. He immediately bowed down to Yunying Zhenren and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Brother Shadow for reminding me, let's go upstairs here!"

So, Xu Ke didn't think much about it, walked to the bamboo ladder, stepped on the ladder, and walked straight up in the sound of "squeak, squeak".

The moment he reached the fifth floor pavilion, he leaned down again to look, only to see that the cloud shadow real person had disappeared, only the fist-sized bead from before, floating in the air, as if the fat brown robe real person was lying on the roof of the building and sleeping......

"It turns out that the Cloud Shadow Bead is the Cloud Shadow Real Person, and the Cloud Shadow True Person is the Cloud Shadow Bead!" Xu Ke sighed secretly, raised his feet, and returned to the fifth layer of the pavilion.

It was only at this time that he figured out that the Cloud Shadow Bead and the Cloud Shadow True Person were originally one, if he didn't have the permission of the Cloud Shadow True Person, how could he urge the Cloud Shadow Bead to travel through time and space?

......

After entering the fifth-layer pavilion again, Xu Ke couldn't help but be cautious. At this time, the messenger of anti-greed stood in the center of the pavilion, like a statue of a god, standing there motionless. Xu Ke didn't say anything to the messenger, and walked straight to the side of the stairs, carefully examining the wooden ladder.

Xu Ke looked at it for a moment and saw that there was nothing unusual about the wooden ladder. He knew that if he went up like this, he would inevitably have to "repeat the mistakes of the past" again. In desperation, he had to sit cross-legged next to the wooden ladder, his eyes slightly closed, secretly running the true yuan, and carefully inspecting the wooden ladder with a divine sense in the sex gate.

I don't know how many hours have passed, but he only feels that he has fallen asleep, and he still can't detect the slightest clue......

Suddenly, when Xu Ke seemed to be asleep, he saw that the wooden ladder moved slightly.

How can a wooden staircase move? unless......

Xu Ke's heart was racing, and he immediately stretched out his right hand, and there was an extra long sword in his hand. He swung his sword diagonally forward, and shouted "Breaking the gold potential!" The sword qi raised a gust of wind and went straight to that section of the "staircase".

Wherever Xu Ke's sword qi went, the "wooden ladder" painted with red paint was suddenly cut into several pieces, and red blood flowed out of the fracture.

The "Greedy Messenger" next to him snorted and said, "Not bad! You actually found the 'greedy beast' so quickly!"

As soon as the envoy finished speaking, the "wooden ladder" screamed, and immediately turned into a huge monster.

I saw that the monster was more than a foot tall, with a red body, no hands or feet, just a huge body and head. It has no facial features on its head, only two bulging eyeballs and a large mouth. From a distance, it looks like a giant "meat ball......

At this moment, the red "meat ball" opened its body in pain and was struggling to pounce on Xu Ke. Xu Ke jumped to the left, and reflexively slashed with a sword, "Break the water potential!"

Xu Ke's sword moves were sharp, and where the sword qi passed, a large piece of meat was immediately cut off from the monster's body. However, the strange thing is that the big flesh on the monster's body has just been cut off by Xu Ke's long sword, and it will grow back immediately......

Xu Ke shouted again, "Open the wood!", the sword qi bloomed like wood, spreading in all directions, and many pieces of meat were cut off from the monster's body.

"Dare to ask the greedy messenger, what kind of name is this 'greedy beast'? How can I subdue it!" Xu Ke saw that the flesh on the "greedy beast" fell and growed, and fell and grown, and he was very surprised in his heart, and immediately asked.

"The greedy beast is the embodiment of the greed in your heart! How to subdue it, you have to ask yourself!" replied the greedy messenger.

Xu Ke waved the long sword in his hand, and after fighting with the greedy beast for dozens of moves, he gradually found his way out. Despite its massive body, the greedy beast had no attack power. It swooped left and right, screaming in its mouth, but it couldn't hurt itself in the slightest. However, the greatest ability of the greedy beast is to repair itself, and the flesh on its body can grow when it is cut, and it is extremely difficult to kill it on this alone.

At the beginning, Xu Ke had the idea of getting rid of the monster in his heart, and he wanted to kill the greedy beast as soon as possible. Later, when he saw that he couldn't perform for a while, he put away his mind and made his sword moves slower and slower until he had no distractions in his heart, and just used his sword at will, without any utilitarian intentions. Strangely, the beast's ability to repair itself gradually weakened, and later, no new flesh could be born from the cut wound. As Xu Ke's sword moves became slower and slower, the pieces of meat on the greedy beast's body fell more and more......

Xu Ke stood intently, his heart did not increase or decrease, and in the end, the long sword in his hand was already condensed. Seeing that there was not much meat left on his body, the greedy beast suddenly roared and rushed towards Xu Ke. Xu Ke handed the long sword forward, and he didn't know what move he was making or what the sword was, but he saw that the long sword had passed through the monster's chest. I heard the greedy beast scream miserably, and then fell to the ground and died.

With the "um" of the greedy messenger beside him, the huge greedy beast under Xu Ke's feet slowly disappeared after falling to the ground, and was replaced by a wooden ladder painted with red paint.

Xu Ke looked at the eyes of the envoy of the anti-greed, and knew that the stairs at this time must be real stairs. He thought of Hu Yiyi's entrustment in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer, got up and walked into the sixth floor of the pavilion.

......
