Chapter Ninety-Eight, Tenth Floor Pavilion

Xu Ke suddenly remembered that when he was walking upside down with his feet upside down just now, he coldly saw the shoes of the envoy of the eradication, as if he winked at him, revealing a strange smile.

How could the shoes smile at him? Unless, this is not an ordinary pair of shoes, it is actually ...... "beast"!

Thinking of this, Xu Ke immediately jumped up and threw himself towards the pair of "shoes" under the feet of the messenger of disillusionment.

This time he learned to be obedient, not to jump outside the wall, but to jump straight up, halfway through, the long sword was a little on the wall, and with the strength of his body, he jumped up again in the air. When he was already in front of the messenger of the eradication, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed a pair of "shoes" from his feet, and slowly fell to the ground.

The emissary was asleep, and though he had lost his shoes, he did not pay any attention to them, as if they were not his own.

Xu Ke ordered at the pair of "shoes": "Take me out!"

The "......" shoes were silent.

Xu Ke raised his long sword, the tip of the sword was aimed at the upper of the shoe, and he frightened: "If you are disobedient, I will pierce you first!" His long sword moved forward slightly, and he wanted to pierce the shoe hard.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" the shoes suddenly sounded. Just listening to the "shoes" seems to beg for mercy: "I will take you out, this will take you out, please don't hurt me!"

Xu Ke walked to both ends of an intersection with the pair of "shoes" of the emissary envoy, and asked in a deep voice, "How to get here?"

"To the left...... The ...... walk on the left," said the "shoes" tremblingly.

"Here's how?"

"Go to the middle...... Junction in the middle!"

Next, every time Xu Ke came to a forked intersection, he used a sword to force the "shoes" in his hand to guide the way. Those "shoes" had to give in under the "obscenity" of Xu Ke's long sword, and every intersection pointed out the right direction for Xu Ke......

In less than half a moment, the "shoes" guided Xu Ke to a huge exit, and directly opposite that exit was a wooden staircase.

Xu Ke walked out of the fence and immediately walked up the stairs. He stood on the top of the stairs and looked back at the way he came, but saw that the wall that had trapped him just now did not occupy a very large area. Although those walls are densely wrapped around themselves, they add up to only a few dozen circles.

He secretly said in his heart, I was trapped in the wall just now, and I only felt that there were countless intersections inside, and the walls seemed to be endless, how could I look at it now, and it was only a dozen floors?

"This labyrinth is actually not very wide, why can't I get out of it?"

"How do I know? Maybe you're stupid!" muttered Shoes.

"I marked each fork in the road differently, and every time I came back, I would take another exit, but in the end I kept going back...... What the hell is going on?" Xu Ke asked again.

"Hahaha!" The shoes suddenly laughed loudly, and with a burst of laughter, the shoes were still trembling in Xu Ke's hands.

"Tell me...... What's so strange about it?" Xu Ke straightened his long sword, and he was about to stick it into his shoes.

"Okay, I say, I say!" the shoe hurriedly replied, "I changed places for those marks you made just after you walked away." The one that was originally at the intersection of 'Jiazi' was changed to 'Yichou', and the one that was originally at the intersection of 'Yichou' was changed to 'Bingchen'...... When you come back, you remember all the signs, but you get all the places wrong. If you walk the maze like this, even if you walk for ten years, you won't be able to get out!"

"It turns out that it's all your ghost!" Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little angry.

"I can't blame all this, who told you to believe in those marks so much? If you simply don't rely on the signs, and blindly walk around, you may have been out of the labyrinth!" said the shoes aggrievedly.

Xu Ke thought to himself, it turned out that I was smart, and with the long sword in my hand, I carved many marks on those walls, but they were all used by the 'Beasts', but they became a means to confuse me! If I hadn't made marks and only used the simplest method, maybe I wouldn't have been obsessed with it for so long. It seems that most of the people in the world are trapped in a puzzle, and most of them are also self-made and blind!

"So, you are the 'Lost Beast'?" Xu Ke asked.

"Uh-huh!" the shoe seemed to nod.

Xu Ke looked at the pair of "shoes" in his hand, it looked like nothing more than a pair of bland black cloth cloud toe boots, he never thought that these "shoes" were actually transformed by "bewitched beasts"!

"I was walking in front just now, and you have been following behind?" Xu Ke asked again.

"I didn't follow it all the time, I just helped you change the mark from time to time...... Haha!" the beast couldn't help laughing. It probably remembered the embarrassment that Xu Ke had just walked around and left in the maze and walked countless times and was still trapped inside, and couldn't help laughing out loud in his heart.

Xu Ke sighed, shook his head, and asked:

"Why did you turn into a pair of shoes under the feet of the Emissary?"

"I just want to see you trapped in the labyrinth, you're so funny! "The beast said.

"So, why do you still laugh at the end to show your tracks?" Xu Ke asked.

"Because you look so funny, you can walk upside down with your feet up. How could anyone come up with such a way to walk through the maze? I couldn't hold back for a while, so I ...... Hahaha!" the beast laughed again, and it seemed that this was a monster that loved to laugh.

Xu Ke scratched his forehead and was speechless for a while. He said to himself, "If I hadn't had my feet up, would I have made you laugh?

Guess you've turned into a pair of shoes for the emissary?!

......

After the beast had laughed enough, Xu Ke pointed towards the wooden ladder and asked:

"Where does this wooden ladder lead?"

The beast replied, "The ladder, of course, leads to the upper floor!"

Xu Kexi said: "You mean, going up from this section of the wooden ladder, it is the tenth layer of the pavilion?"

"That's right!" The beast replied.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Xu Kewu said suspiciously. He thought to himself, don't you want me to go up and then let me fall to the first floor?

"How stupid are you, you can't help but be stupid! In this maze, your mechanism has been broken, and the labyrinth has been solved, and if you are not allowed to go upstairs, will you still be kept for the night?" said the beast impatiently.

"Okay!" Xu Ke put down the pair of black cloth cloud boots, put the long sword back into the sheath and stuck it in his back, and then raised his feet and walked upstairs.

He went up to the top of the stairs and looked down again, only to see that the dozens of circles of walls that had been densely packed had dissipated without a trace. The black cloth shoes under the wooden ladder were also gone. There was a huge red shadow shaking in the entire pavilion, and at this moment, when the red shadow saw Xu Ke turn around, it moved slightly towards him, as if it was blinking and smiling, and was waving goodbye to him......

"It turns out that all the red walls, and even an entire floor of pavilions, are all transformed by bewitched beasts...... Xu Ke realized this, raised his feet, and stepped into the tenth floor of the pavilion.

After entering the tenth-floor pavilion, Xu Ke was slightly stunned. He saw that the scene in front of him was very different from the nine-story pavilion he had experienced before.

In the middle of each floor of the pavilion that Xu Ke had walked through before was a giant red pillar that reached the sky, surrounded by a circular red lacquer wall, and under his feet was a solid wooden plank floor. However, at this moment, he was standing in the tenth-story pavilion, and as far as the eye could see, there was a vast white cloud and mist all around, and there was no giant pillar in the middle, and there was no red lacquer wall on the four sides, and as for the foot, he could not find half a wooden plank of the ground......

He just stood in a vast sea of white clouds, surrounded by endless white clouds. If he hadn't just come up from the Ninth Layer Pavilion, he would have really doubted himself, had he gone up to the Heavenly Court at this moment?

He took a few random steps forward, and the white clouds around him would spread out slightly as far as he went. However, if he stood still, the white clouds would gather again and gradually envelop him.

He looked back, and the staircase he had just come up at was now gone. At this moment, only the swaying white clouds were left around him.

He looked up again, and the top of the pavilion that should have been painted with beams was nowhere to be seen. He looked out to the sky, and the sky was still boundless. It's just that there is no sun, moon and stars in the sky, only white clouds floating everywhere.

Xu Ke walked forward, walking casually, those floating white clouds sometimes scattered suddenly, and sometimes surrounded him. However, no matter how the floating clouds changed, they were always no more than five feet high, so Xu Ke's vision in front of him was not blocked. However, wherever he went, wherever he looked, all he saw were empty clouds......

He suddenly quickened his pace and ran quickly in front of him, but until he had run for more than half a moment, there was still nothing in his eyes except for a large white cloud.

Xu Ke couldn't help but stand still, he scratched his forehead, and wondered in his heart:

Strange! Where does this look like a one-story pavilion? It is clearly a sea of clouds in the heavenly palace, or is it a ...... The top of the Yellow Mountain?

When he was a teenager, he had heard the old people talk about it several times, saying that the top of the Yellow Mountain, every autumn and winter, you can see a large area of clouds and mist surrounding the peaks and peaks, undulating continuously, moving with the wind, like the waves of the sea, galloping and surging, whirling and flying, the most wonderful and graceful!

Could it be that he suddenly came to the top of the Yellow Mountain, in the middle of Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak?

Xu Ke immediately shook his head. He clearly remembered that he had climbed the stairs from the first floor of the Pavilion Water Moon Tower, and now he had finally reached the tenth floor of the Pavilion. In any case, you can't get to Huangshan.

Could it be that there is such a one-story pavilion in this God-King Pavilion, where floating clouds are floating everywhere, and it is boundless when you look around......

At this moment, Xu Ke had a new understanding of the wonders in this God King Pavilion.

However, since it is the tenth floor of the pavilion, then there should also be a person who guards the pavilion!

Xu Ke thought of this, and immediately shouted loudly: "Is there anyone here?"

"In Xia Xu Ke, dare to ask, is there anyone here who guards the pavilion?"

"Xu Ke is polite!"

"Please come out and see you immediately!"

"Where the hell are you?

"Hey ......"

But no matter how much he opened his throat and shouted, in this empty and boundless "sea of clouds", no one responded to him. Later, Xu Ke could only hear his own echo, echoing in the open space in the distance.

Xu Ke still didn't give up, he secretly took another breath of true qi, stepped forward, and ran wildly. This time, he ran for more than an hour, until he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting. As he ran, he shouted around:

"Is there anyone here?

"In Xia Xu Ke, please show up quickly!"

"Hey...... Is there anyone at all?"

But after he had been running for more than an hour, he still saw nothing but the echoes of the air in the distance, and there was no other sound to be heard.

He began to do light work, and again he ran wildly, stride, jumped, flew, and glided in different directions. The clouds around him spread out and gathered and gathered and dispersed with his body......

Sometimes he walked forward, sometimes backwards, sometimes volleyed in an inverted ......

He used almost every method to move his bearings, however, no matter how he moved himself, no matter what

He placed himself in any place, and as far as he could see, there was still nothing to see except for a large white cloud.

He yelled around and laughed wildly. He frowned in the air, pretended, and made all sorts of movements. He lay on the ground and rolled and frolicked with the clouds, moving freely.

But no one responded to him.

In this entire layer of space, it seems that he is the only one left.

Xu Kewan didn't expect that this floor pavilion would be unimaginably vast and unimaginably monotonous. No matter which direction he ran hard, he couldn't find the boundary here, and no matter where he walked in this layer of space, he couldn't find anything else.

Except, the white clouds everywhere......

He's really tired!

Xu Ke simply fell to the ground, allowing the thick clouds to envelop him. So much so that all in front of him was a hazy cloud, and even the "sky" above his head had been blocked by clouds.

He lay quietly on the ground, his eyes closed and motionless, as if he were meditating, as if he had fallen asleep......

I don't know how much time passed, Xu Ke woke up again.

The surroundings have not changed at all, but they are still misty and silent.

Strangely enough, he had been here for an unknown amount of time, and he did not feel any hunger or thirst in his stomach. Even the fatigue of running, shouting, and rolling is gone. Xu Ke thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that the previous feeling of tiredness was also a little distorted, at that time, he didn't actually feel tired, and those so-called tiredness were nothing more than conjectures in his heart. He felt like he was here at the moment, no matter how much time he had been here, it was still exactly the same as it had been at the beginning......

Time is here, and it stands still.

Xu Ke got up and walked around casually while contemplating carefully.

But after thinking about it, I still can't think of any clue.

He took out the long sword on his back and simply practiced that move, "One Qi Mixed Yuan Sword". I saw that every time he made a move, the clouds and mist followed the sword qi, changing into various shapes, spreading and gathering, gathering and scattering......

He didn't know how many hours he had been practicing swordsmanship, and he suddenly felt bored in his heart, so he put away the long sword, lay down on the ground, pretended to be a little "tired", and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he walked around, flew around, leaped, practiced swords, and breathed again...... Or, tumbling on the ground, shouting and chanting......

Then, as if he was tired, he found a random place, lay down and slept. After waking up, he was still the same as last time, doing some things randomly, passing the time indiscriminately, and creating a feeling of "exhaustion" for himself......

In this way, he woke up and slept, slept and woke up, and in this layer of space full of "sea of clouds", he didn't know how much time had passed.

There is no sun, moon and stars here, naturally there is no sunrise and moon setting, no day and night, no rain, snow and frost, and there is only a white expanse around him.

There is no wind here, everything seems to be still. Those large clouds and mist, if Xu Ke didn't step forward to play with them, they would have been motionless.

There are no four seasons here, and there is no alternation of cold and warm, even if Xu Ke takes off all his clothes, he doesn't feel cold at all. Naturally, no matter how much he wears, he won't feel hot.

Xu Ke himself did not feel any hunger, thirst, sleepiness, discomfort or discomfort. But he didn't feel any joy, contentment, joy or excitement. In the end, there were only two words left in his heart - boring.

Day after day, year after year, he could only face himself, against this vast and boundless empty world.

He stayed in this layer of space, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to do, and not knowing what the point of doing these things?

At the end of the day, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to sleep! Sleep endlessly, sleep tirelessly, sleep like years......

He wanted to use sleep to kill the boredom in his heart, but the longer he slept, the more bored he felt.

It's boring, it's boring, it's boring......

Because we don't know hunger or thirst, we don't need to find food and water, and we don't have the pleasure of being well fed and drunk.

Because you don't know the warmth and cold, you don't need to buy clothes and bedding, or find a place to cool off from the wind, and you can't get the joy of warmth and coolness.

Because we are not tired, we do not need to rest and sleep, nor can we get the satisfaction of sleeping soundly and wakefulness.

He just stayed in this empty and vast space bored, bored day after day......

Even if he knew that time was inexhaustible here, even so, what was the point of living boring life like this day after day?

He didn't know why he had to go through such a state of mind.

In ordinary life, the pain, sorrow, and disappointment of ordinary people, the troubles of not being clothed, hungry, working all day long and not being at ease, but seeking to be full but unable to be satisfied...... At this time, Xu Ke didn't have to experience it, and he couldn't understand it.

What ordinary people expect, not trapped by hunger and thirst, not disturbed by cold and warmth, and not having to be tired all day long, Xu Ke is already in it.

This kind of realm, in the eyes of mortals, is almost like a fairy.

In this world, only immortals can be neither hungry nor thirsty, neither cold nor warm, not tired, and never have to catch up with time. Because the immortals have escaped the reincarnation of the five elements and can live forever, the last thing they care about is time.

But at this time, Xu Ke was in such a realm, but it was like being in a cage, and he felt that he was suffering, and he was suffering endlessly.

Because, in this tenth layer of the pavilion, time is also endless......
