Xu Ke saw a child who was exactly the same as when he was six years old in the Fuyun Tower, and actually wanted to play a game with him, and he suddenly felt interesting, and then readily agreed.

The child said: "Big brother, let's play a game of 'officers and soldiers catch thieves'!"

Xu Ke immediately remembered that it was the kind of game he wanted to play the most when he was a child. It's just that at that time, his family was poor, the whole village looked down on their family, and he never had any playmates around him. In his childhood memories, his father's personality was honest and wooden, and he never liked to talk much, and he hardly accompanied him to say a few words. My mother has a kind temperament, but she is an anxious child, and all the big and small things in the family depend on my mother to work inside and out, and she is constantly busy. She has always been in poor health, under the long-term fatigue and anxiety, her temperament will inevitably become irritable and irritable, usually not to say that she is playing games with him, as long as she does not beat and scold him, it is a blessing. Therefore, when he was young, almost no one played a game with him......

Xu Ke smiled and asked, "How should I play this game?"

The child's immature voice said: "This game is fun! Big brother, you come to be an officer and soldier, I will be a thief, I will find a place to hide first, and the big brother will stay here and count, and when the count reaches 'ten', you can come to me!"

"Okay, then I'll wait here, you go hide first!"

"Well, then I'm going to hide, big brother, you are facing that side, you are not allowed to peek!"

As soon as the child finished speaking, he happily found a place to hide. Xu Ke walked to the railing and stood, he faced the undulating sea of clouds outside the tall building, and slowly counted:

"One, two, three...... Ten!"

"Little brother, I'm going to arrest you!"

"Little brother, are you hiding?"

"Little brother, I seem to ...... See you!"

......

Although the child was only six years old, he was very smart, and no matter how Xu Ke lured him to speak, the child didn't say a word.

Xu Ke turned around and began to look around for the child.

The length and width of the wooden building were no more than five zhang square, and Xu Ke swept his eyes and saw that the old man in the yellow robe was under his knees, and the hem of his clothes was bulging high. He knew that the child must have been hidden under the wooden bench of the old man in the yellow robe, but since it was a game, he naturally couldn't "debunk" the other party so quickly.

Xu Ke pretended not to know the whereabouts of the child, and deliberately said loudly:

"Little brother, where are you?"

"You've hidden it so well, I can't find it!"

"Bold thief, where are you hiding? Look at my hundred households with five grades, I won't find you out!"

Xu Ke suddenly saw the yellow-robed old man's body, the sleeves of his robe moved slightly, as if he heard the child couldn't help but smile......

At this time, the old man in the yellow robe also looked at him, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xu Ke deliberately walked around the wooden building again, making a heavy sound, pretending that he was looking everywhere but could not find it, and he was very anxious.

When I was a child, although more than ten years have passed, Xu Ke still remembers it clearly in his heart. He knew that the greatest pleasure for the "thief" who had hid well was to hide by the side of the "officers and soldiers," but those "stupid officers and soldiers" were still like headless flies, looking everywhere, and finally admitting defeat because they could not find them......

Xu Ke walked wildly while thinking back to his childhood. At that time, their family lived extremely hard, often living a life of hunger and cold and rain. The family's only desire is to live a life full of food and not having to be cold, however, even such a small wish, God has never fulfilled them. Because his father was too honest, he was often bullied by the villagers. My mother was angry, so she had to reason with those people, but she was always persuaded by her father.

In his childhood, he hardly had any playmates, no one was willing to play a game with him, and even no one wanted to talk to him. He grew up in such a lonely and depressing time, and in a blink of an eye, he had grown into an eight-foot man who was independent of heaven and earth!

It's a pity that his parents can't see all this......

Unexpectedly, time flies, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I have never forgotten those memories of the old days.

Xu Ke walked to the side of the wooden ladder and said deliberately: "Little brother, you are definitely not on this floor, I have to go downstairs to find you......"

"Little brother, you hide it too well, big brother, I admit defeat!"

He hadn't taken a few steps down the wooden ladder when he heard the child's silver bell-like laughter from under the old man in the yellow robe.

The child immediately crawled out from under the old man in the yellow robe, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I'm here!"

The child ran to Xu Ke's side, clapped his hands and said, "Big brother, you are so stupid! I have been hiding by your side, but you can't find it!"

Xu Ke picked up the young "self", scratched "his" nose, and laughed: "It turns out that you have been hiding here!

At this moment, for some reason, his heart was also very happy, as if he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years......

"Hee-hee-hee! This game is so fun! Big brother, next time, let's play again!"

The boy spoke, and his figure slowly faded away.

Xu Ke looked out of the building, and similarly, a cloud of mist below slowly descended a foot.

The four-foot floating cloud has already dropped two feet, Xu Ke felt very relieved in his heart, he said secretly, it seems that I will be able to go to the next level soon, Sister Hu, don't worry, when I see the old pavilion master Bai, I will immediately help you ask him for help!

Xu Ke looked at the "self" who was wearing a dragon robe and a crown of heaven.

The old man in the yellow robe twisted his beard and smiled: "Me...... Nothing else! I just want you to remember one sentence!"

"Which sentence is it?" Xu Ke asked.

"The world is the world, the world is the world!" said the old man in the yellow robe.

"It's that simple?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask again.

"It's as simple as that!" said the yellow-robed old man with a smile.

Xu Ke thought a little in his heart, and said:

"What you mean is that I will always think of the people in the world in the future, and always have the safety and well-being of the people of my family and country hidden in my chest!"

No matter what official you become in the future, you must always remember that if you do not have the blessings and disgraces of the people of the world in your heart, even if you win the world, this world will be the same

It will only become a burden to you, and you will suffer from gains and losses and pain for the rest of your life......"

"But right now, I have been demoted by the emperor to a commoner, what does this world have to do with me? Even if I have a heart, I have nowhere to do it!"

"Whether it is a commoner or a high-ranking official, how can you say that the world has nothing to do with you if you are under the Qiongtian! A person who has the world in his heart, lives far away from the rivers and lakes, thinks about the court, is at the height of the temple, and thinks about the worries of the mountains and rivers! No matter where you are or where you are, if you have the ambition of the world, why should you worry about having no way to serve you?"

Although the world is the world of the people of the world, the people of all directions and the world are clamoring, and most of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, and they know that the people of the world are righteous and evil? Good and evil? True or false? If I have the people of the world in my heart, but the people of the world cannot understand me, believe in me, and protect me, why should I work hard to protect the people of the world?"

In Xu Ke's heart, he couldn't help but think of his experience of attacking Bashan in the 12th-line life wheel of Jiazi.

In the battle of Bashan, he first listened to Shen Huan and led the front army to go out first, but unexpectedly, he waited for Shen Huan's reinforcements to arrive. On the way to escape, he desperately protected Zheng Kai and more than a dozen guards, and took them back to Chang'an safely. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Chang'an with his front foot, Shen Huan with his back foot reported the royal complaint to Li Ci. Then Li Ci was indiscriminate, so he sent someone to imprison him in the Tsing Yi Wei prison. In the Tsing Yi Guard, he personally testified that he was a thief inside and outside, and the person who colluded with the demon clan was Zheng Kai and more than ten guards. And Li Xi and the others actually listened to and believed partially, and based on only one side, they sentenced themselves to the crime of "demon traitor", and they had to put him to death!

He didn't listen to Nangong's silent words, and was bent on returning to Chang'an with twelve soldiers, but he was personally testified by those soldiers and framed for no reason. He wielded a sword to kill the enemy in Dongshi, and desperately saved the other party's life, but as a result, in order to covet Murong Yan's beauty, he fabricated his own charges at will, and framed him in prison, so as to coerce Murong Yan to marry him...... All these people who framed themselves were exactly the people who were desperately trying to save them before.

This...... It's those so-called people of the world!

In the future, if he re-enters the temple and occupies a great position, let him be diligent all day long, and work hard for it, but he is such a person in the world, is it worth it?

At this time, Xu Ke inevitably had another huge question in his heart, and he couldn't find the answer to this question for a while.

However, as one of the people in the world, is it enough for him to be alone, and does he still have the world in mind?

The old man in the yellow robe shook his head and said with a smile:

Between heaven and earth, there must be good and evil, good and evil, true and false, and this is the way of yin and yang complementing each other! If you have the people of the world in your heart, you will also have you in the hearts of the people of the world! Besides, you and I are mortals, born between heaven and earth, but we just want to have fun in our hearts! No one in the world understands me, believes in me, and protects me, and the 'me' in my heart understands me, believes in me, and protects me, isn't it enough?!"

"The benevolent person is worried about the worries of the people of the world, and he is happy with the happiness of the people of the world...... Okay, I got it!"

Although Xu Ke didn't think so, when he saw the old man talking eloquently, he couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, so he repeated the old man's words, as if he had an understanding......

The old man in the yellow robe twisted his beard and smiled, and while slowly bowing his head, the figure slowly disappeared.

"Remember! No matter what people in the world think of you, 'I' will always understand you, believe in you, and protect you!"

The last words of the old man in the yellow robe floated freely in the floating cloud building, and the voice was sonorous and powerful, like the white clouds in the tenth-story pavilion, floating up and down in the air, lasting for a long time......

Xu Ke looked beyond the tall building again, the original two-foot clouds, now descended another layer, through the vast sea of clouds, Xu Ke has vaguely seen the road surface under the clouds and mist.

Only the last one was left, Xu Ke walked to the "monkey man" wearing golden chain mail, clasped his fists and saluted him:

"This monkey brother, dare to ask you what you want Xu to do?"

The golden-armored monkey man glanced at Xu Ke and said coldly: "My business is the simplest, you just need to fight with me and win against me!"

"Fight?" Xu Ke scratched his forehead, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. First, until this moment, he didn't know what he had to do with the "monkey". Second, the other party was going to fight with him as soon as he came up, which really caught him by surprise.

For the four people in the Fuyun Tower, Xu Ke had vaguely guessed how they were related to him. It's just that the monkey in front of him is not like a monkey man and a "monkey man" who is not like a human, Xu Ke can't guess what kind of entanglement he has with himself?

Perhaps, he is just a monkey, and has nothing to do with himself.

"How...... Don't dare?" the golden-armored monkey man scoffed.

"Okay! Since Brother Monkey intends to test his martial arts, then Xu will be ugly!" Xu Ke took out the long sword on his back and replied loudly. He thought to himself, look at you dressed in gold, like a prince and general in the world. But you look like a monkey with a sharp beak, but you're just a monkey demon, what martial arts can you have?!Wait a while, I can subdue you with just one move......

Xu Ke thought again, I have no grievances with that monkey demon, I have to leave him some affection for a while, even if I defeat him, I need to give him some face, so as not to let him lose too badly.

"Okay! Refreshing! Then come on......" As soon as the golden armored monkey man's voice fell, Xu Ke's eyes flashed, and he saw a flash of his figure, and he had already arrived outside the wooden building.

"What a light effort!" Xu Ke saw that golden figure, which was already standing in a large sea of clouds, and couldn't help but praise loudly. He secretly thought to himself, it seems that this monkey demon is not weak, I think it is because he jumps up and down in the mountains and forests every day, so that he has practiced this ability to jump and move.

Xu Ke secretly breathed a sigh of truth, and jumped from the wooden building on the second floor to the railing, and then landed steadily. He looked at his unmoved and unruly figure, and said proudly in his heart, in terms of light work, I Xu is no worse than you, a monkey!

"Make a move!" The golden-armored monkey man took out an embroidery needle from his right ear, and with a shake in the wind, it turned into a long black iron stick with the thickness of a bowl, and a golden hoop was encircled at each end of the long stick.

Xu Ke saw the weapon in the hand of the golden-armored monkey man, and suddenly changed from an embroidery needle to an iron rod with the thickness of the bowl, and he was not very surprised in his heart, but he saw the monkey

The demon was so big, holding a long stick, as if he didn't see himself in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

"Please teach Brother Monkey!" Xu Ke swung the long sword in his right hand diagonally forward, and shouted "Break the golden potential!" A fierce sword qi stirred up gusts of wind and stabbed straight towards the golden armored monkey man.

Unexpectedly, the golden-armored monkey man just casually crossed the stick, only to hear a "ding" sound, the sword and stick intersected, sparks were everywhere, Xu Ke only felt a strong attack like a mountain, his right hand was painful, and the long sword had flown out diagonally.

Xu Ke's surprise was not trivial. Since he used the sword, he has encountered many masters, and in his memory, the only person who can have such power is Murong Huan, the second son of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

He remembered that Murong Huan clamped his sword blade with only two fingers that day, and that momentum was really something he had never seen, but if it was about the strength of the opponent's internal strength, it was the "monkey demon" in front of him who was even better.

Xu Ke looked at the dripping blood between the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. He really didn't expect that his fierce sword qi would not only not hurt the golden armored monkey man in the slightest, but he was blocked by the other party at will, and his mouth cracked.

"In heaven and earth, there are still such masters!" he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The golden-armored monkey man sneered and said, "Pick up your sword and come again!"

Xu Ke walked more than ten zhang away and picked up the long sword under the clouds, at this time, the blade of the sword had been hit by a gap in the boss, but it was still a long sword. Xu Ke was reluctant in his heart, thought about it, and picked up the broken sword.

Xu Ke put his sword back into the sheath, walked back to the golden-armored monkey man, clasped his fists and saluted:

"Brother Monkey's martial arts are unparalleled, Xu is not your opponent!"

"Admit defeat so quickly, my grandson can't enjoy the fight!" the golden-armored monkey man scratched his monkey head and sneered.

"......" Xu Ke shook his head, speechless. He knew that with his current strength, even if he stabbed ten thousand swords at the other party, he would never want to win him!

"If you can't win against me, you won't want to go to the next level in this life!" the golden-armored monkey man snorted coldly, and immediately turned around and left.

Xu Ke saw that the golden-armored monkey man shook the black iron long sticks of the golden hoops at both ends casually, and instantly turned back into an embroidery needle, and stuffed it back into his right ear.

"Brother Monkey, don't go yet!" Seeing that the figure of the golden-armored monkey was about to disappear, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.

"What else is the matter, do you want to fight me again?" asked the golden-armored monkey man looking back.

"Uh...... In terms of martial arts, Xu is by no means an opponent of Brother Monkey! Can Brother Monkey find another thing for Xu to complete? Xu will definitely find a way not to disappoint Brother Monkey!" Xu Ke waved his hand and said earnestly.

"Looking for another matter, I don't have anything else to do?" The golden-armored monkey man was obviously not interested in anything other than fighting, and he turned around to leave.

"Brother Monkey, slow down!" Xu Ke was in a hurry, so he had to grab the right arm of the golden-armored monkey man and pleaded: "Brother Monkey stays, we have something to discuss......"

Xu Ke dragged the golden-armored monkey man and didn't let go, but the golden-armored monkey man moved forward, and the two dragged them like this, still walking towards Fuyun Tower.

"Brother Monkey, what kind of name is your stick? How can it be big and small? Can you borrow a certain view from Xu?" Xu Ke casually found a topic and asked.

In his heart, he was also very curious about the iron rod of the golden monkey man.

The golden-armored monkey man suddenly stopped and sneered: "If you can hold my stick, I will treat you as a winner!"

"Really, Brother Monkey, what do you say...... Can it count?" Xu Ke said happily, he secretly thought, how much weight can this iron rod have? That day, one of my second brother's treasures in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea was said to weigh a thousand catties, and I could lift it, not to mention that you had just an "embroidery needle"?

"What my grandson said, when did you not count?!" The golden-armored monkey man took out the "embroidery needle" from his right ear, shook it in the wind, and immediately turned into an iron rod with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl.

"Come and get it!" The golden monkey man stretched out his right hand forward, and in the palm of his hand lay the long black iron rod with golden hoops at both ends.

Xu Ke stepped forward, holding the black iron long stick with both hands, secretly luckily in his arms, and raised it hard, only to hear his "hey", but the black iron long stick was lying flat in the palm of the golden armored monkey man, and did not move.

Xu Ke couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, his face turned red, his mouth shouted again and again, and his hands were raised hard, but no matter how hard he tried, a long black iron rod in the hand of the golden armored monkey man was still motionless.

"You put the iron rod on the ground first!" Xu Ke let go of his hands and said angrily. He thought to himself, it must be you, the monkey demon, who used his mana to carry a "sticky" force with his palm, so that I couldn't lift the stick no matter what.

"Good!" the golden-armored monkey man was very refreshed, and he put the iron rod on the ground as he said.

Xu Ke pushed aside the clouds and mist, held the black iron long rod again with both hands, and shouted "up!" from the dantian luck, and shouted "up!" with both arms, almost exhausted the strength of his life, and struggled to lift it......

The long black iron rod seemed to be connected to the ground, and it was still unmoving.

"Up!" Xu Ke was lucky, but in the end it was in vain.

Xu Ke sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and couldn't help but sigh to the air:

"Unexpectedly, this ordinary iron rod is heavier than the second brother's 'three-tooth nail rake'!"

"Three-toothed nail rake, what's that?" the golden-armored monkey man was interested at this time.

"It was a blade of my second brother Zhu Wuneng, and it is said that it was specially made for him by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Xu Ke gasped and replied.

The golden-armored monkey man suddenly laughed and said, "Your second brother Zhu is incompetent, his nine-toothed nail rake is not very good, and Ao Guang also got him a three-toothed one...... What's the use? I really laughed off my big teeth!"

Xu Ke was very surprised, so he asked, "Brother Monkey, do you recognize my second brother?"

The golden armor monkey said: "It's not just knowing ......" He thought for a while, suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Ke, and said:

"That's it, you do one thing for me, this game, even if you pass!"

Xu Ke was overjoyed, he immediately got up and asked, "What's the matter?"

The golden-armored monkey man put away the long black iron rod on the ground, hid it in his right ear, and commanded slowly:

"When you see your second brother in the future, you can beat him up for me!"
