[February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Shen Shi, the tenth floor of the Shenwang Pavilion]

Xu Ke was lying on the ground, wanting to sleep, but couldn't sleep, and when he thought about it, he had nothing to do. He made a pillow with his hands, lay on his back, and thought wildly in his mind, and when he thought of the end, he naturally remembered Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei, Yiqing and Murong Yan. It's just that what he is thinking about at the moment is the four women in the twelve life wheels of Jiazi.

As long as he remembered the reluctant appearance of several women at the time of parting, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"What if I simply stay in that world and don't come back? Although it is a different fate line, but I will always stay there, what can I do? It's a big deal that I will die there in the end! Anyway, everyone will inevitably die in the end, so why care which fate line I die in?"

"However, Sister Hu is still anxious to wait for me to save her 'Ah Ke'! Her mind is all on the 'me' in the heavenly court, what good is it for me to stay in that world?"

"Ahem, Sister Hu, but I'm still trapped in this tenth-layer pavilion, no matter how hard I try, I still can't go to the next level, until now, I still haven't been able to see the old white pavilion master, I'm really ashamed of your trust......"

"Sister Hu, what kind of mystery is hidden in this large white cloud all over the ground, and where is this upward passage hidden?

......

Xu Ke thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue. He had to open his eyes, get up, and look around for another way.

Unexpectedly, this time, after he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a human-shaped cloud appear in front of him.

I saw that "that person" was magnificent and graceful, and he vaguely looked like the "Blue Wave Fairy" Hu Yiyi.

Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Sister Hu, you're here!"

He stretched out his hands, opened his arms, and hugged "Hu Yiyi" hard.

As expected, he stretched out his hand to hug it, and the cloud that resembled Hu Yiyi's figure quietly dispersed.

It's not that he doesn't know that the "Hu Yiyi" in front of him is just a cloud of mist. However, he missed her too much in his heart, knowing that it was false, and pretending to be true. It's just that at the moment when he hugged "Hu Yiyi", the clouds and mist had already dispersed mercilessly......

Xu Ke scratched his forehead, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Huh, why did Sister Hu's shadow suddenly appear in this cloud?"

He ran in all directions again, shouting into the air with all his might: "Sister Hu, Sister Hu, where are you?"

However, he ran for half a moment, and no matter how loudly he shouted, he only heard echoes in the air, but he still couldn't find half a figure.

Even the figure that had turned into a cloud just now, he still couldn't find it.

He sat down on the ground in a daze, and once again remembered the appearance of Hu Yiyi standing alone under the moon, secretly crying at the sky. At that time, after Hu Yiyi heard that the "Ah Ke" of that world had been executed by the Emperor of Heaven in order to save the human race, he was in a state of grief and grief.

Xu Ke just had such a thought in his heart, and the clouds and mist in front of him quietly converged again, turning into a slender woman, vaguely Hu Yiyi's appearance. At this time, "Hu Yiyi" was looking up at the sky, and his face seemed to be quite sad......

"Sister Hu, you're here again!" Xu Ke said happily.

This time, he learned to be obedient, and he didn't dare to reach out and touch the humanoid cloud again, but quietly watched "Hu Yiyi" in front of him from three steps away.

"Sister Hu, do you know that there is no disease...... How much do you miss you?"

"Sister Hu, can you speak?"

Xu Ke himself also knew, how could Yunwu talk to him? But in his heart, he really felt too lonely......

"It turned out that the 'Sister Hu' in front of me was what I came up with. ”

After a little thought in his heart, he understood the truth. It seems that as long as you concentrate on yourself, you can think hard about what a certain person looks like. The clouds in front of you can turn into the person you think in your heart.

Xu Ke closed his eyes again, quietly thinking about the other three women he had been thinking about. After a while, sure enough, he opened his eyes, and the figures in front of him turned into clouds and mist, in addition to "Hu Yiyi", there were also "Yao Zibei", "Yiqing" and "Murong Yan".

Xu Ke saw the four confidantes he had in mind appear in front of him at first glance, although he knew that it was a cloud and mist, but he also felt fun in his heart. He was overjoyed, and immediately ran to the side of the four humanoid clouds, looking left and right, and circling around them. Those figures turned into clouds and mist, as long as Xu Ke didn't touch them with his hands, they would stand in front of him and would not disperse for a long time.

Xu Ke looked at "Hu Yiyi" and said, "Sister Hu, how do you feel at the moment?

I saw that "Hu Yiyi" was still standing there quietly at this moment, his eyes still staring at the sky blankly.

Xu Ke walked to "Yao Zibei" again, and said apologetically: "Sister Zibei, brother, I left in a hurry, and I left my sister before I could say goodbye to you! I haven't even been able to taste your bowl of carefully boiled fragrant rice porridge." This is ...... I'm sorry!"

At this moment, "Yao Zibei" was slowly walking towards Xu Ke, her eyes were clearly eagerly expectant, and she was still holding a large pot of "fragrant meat and fragrant rice porridge" in her hand.

Xu Ke walked to the side of "Yiqing", leaned down deeply to "her", bowed his hand, and said earnestly: "Sister Qing, if he is young, if I can meet you again, I will definitely ...... Treat you well, and never ...... Lose you!"

I saw that "Yiqing" at this moment was facing away from Xu Ke, hiding her face with her right hand, as if she was wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Next, Xu Ke came to the side of "Murong Yan".

。 I saw "Murong Yan" sitting there, holding her knees with her hands, and she was in a daze. "She" seems to be constantly asking in her heart, "Why...... Why?"

Xu Ke couldn't help but think that the appearance of "Yan'er" at this time was very similar to the scene he saw in the small house when he had just traveled to ten years later. In the first month he had just traveled, they had lived in a demonic world, surrounded by black smoke and monsters. They were struggling to support themselves in the Tucheng of Xuchang, and at that time, Hu Yiyi was in charge and had already married Yan'er to himself. He and Yan'er lived together in a cramped room for a month. Every night, he slept on the ground, leaving Yan'er to lie on the wooden bed by herself.

Xu Ke still clearly remembers that he woke up several times in the early hours of the morning, and saw Yan'er sitting alone on the edge of the bed. At that time, Yan'er held her knees with her hands, and stared at herself blankly......

Naturally, under the circumstances at that time, Xu Ke couldn't help but lower his head every time to avoid Yan'er's stupid eyes, or simply pretend not to see.

Xu Ke didn't expect that at this time, he was already in the tenth floor of the pavilion, and the "Murong Yan" that he sketched up at random in his mind turned out to be the same as when she was in a daze when she was in Xuchang Tucheng.

Xu Ke looked at the "Murong Yan" turned into a mist in front of him, and saw her look stunned and thinking hard, and couldn't help but feel very sorry in his heart. He sat down beside "Murong Yan" and said affectionately to "her" poignant and beautiful face:

"Yan'er, how can I, Xu Ke, meet such a smart and kind girl as you in this life! I was just a poor boy who grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child, and I don't have any ability, how can I afford you to be so affectionate to me?!"

"Yan'er, I don't know how you're doing now, in the world you live in, heaven and earth have returned to normal, and Brother Murong has returned to Chang'an to revitalize Tianbao Pavilion. In the future, you will have Brother Ling by your side to protect you, and no one will dare to hurt you. I only hope that you can find a wishful husband in the future and live the rest of your life well......"

As he spoke, Xu Ke's eyes were already moist. He stared at the pretty face of "Murong Yan" affectionately, and said in a somewhat choked voice:

"Yan'er, I'll tell you the truth, I'm in your world of the twelfth line of Jiazi, in fact, it's you who are most reluctant to leave! Several times, even Yun Yingzhu is urging me to go, but every time I think of you, I am reluctant to leave! I just hope that I can see you every day, every hour, every moment, and see you laughing, and I feel extremely satisfied in my heart......

Finally, in Xu Ke's eyes, he couldn't help but burst into the rain.

"Yan'er, have you always wanted to ask, why I have been married to you, but for such a long time, I just don't want to sleep with you? Actually...... Actually, it's not that I don't want to, I feel it in my heart...... Ahem!"

At this moment, "Murong Yan" was still staring at him blankly, facing him affectionately, although he didn't say a word, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.

Xu Ke let out a long sigh again, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, at this time in the "sky", the flowing clouds floated, the clouds were brilliant, like a fairyland.

......

......

Since Xu Ke knew this "secret", he would often sit on the ground and meditate, imagining the different shapes of those women. Then, when he opened his eyes, the woman he had in mind immediately appeared in front of him. Therefore, as long as he meditates in his heart, as long as he meditates in his heart, four women's humanoid clouds will suddenly appear in front of him. Moreover, each humanoid cloud has a different body shape, posture, and even facial expression.

Knowing that there is such a special beauty in this tenth-layer pavilion, Xu Ke will not be so boring after that. Even, he still enjoys it, and he enjoys it......

He imagined the different appearances of the women, and when their human forms appeared, he would talk to them, smile, grimace, pretend to fall, laugh......

And no matter how Xu Ke whispered and chattered in front of those humanoid clouds, the "women" who turned into clouds and mist always spoke a word and silently opposed him.

After a long time, Xu Ke found some new doorways.

Every time those humanoid clouds appeared, they would slowly dissipate after a short half a moment or an hour. The length of retention time is related to Xu Ke's inner meditation. That is to say, the harder he thought about it, the longer he stayed, and the more affectionate he was, the longer the humanoid cloud could be retained, and the more lifelike his face became.

Sometimes, he looked at the humanoid clouds and imagined what they were doing. As long as he concentrates and concentrates on it, the cloud in front of him can still make some simple actions according to what he thinks in his heart.

He imagined Hu Yiyi dancing, and the "Hu Yiyi" in front of him would dance. He imagined Yiqing dancing the sword, and the "Yiqing" in front of him could fly with the sword. He imagined that Yao Zibei was standing in the stove and was busy, and the "Yao Zibei" in front of him was really busy cooking in the stove.

It's just that he always imagines Murong Yan walking in the forest, cheering in the music of a hundred birds. The "Murong Yan" in front of him only moved a little bit, but it was not exactly what he thought in his heart......

In this way, Xu Ke is accompanied by the humanoid clouds and mist that he imagined in his heart day by day, and he doesn't know how much time has passed.

And every time, almost all he thinks about is Hu Yiyi, Yiqing, Murong Yan, and Yao Zibei. And every time he imagined their appearance, they were also from the world of the twelve lines of Jiazi.

Occasionally, he would think of Zhao Yu who suddenly appeared that day, but that figure was too vague in his mind, and the humanoid clouds and mist in front of him were not very clear. For a long time, Xu Ke

I no longer imagine Zhao Yu.

Naturally, apart from the four women, he hardly thought about anyone else.

After thinking about it a lot, Xu Ke also had a lot of experience in this method of controlling clouds and mist. Later, in addition to being able to conjure up the appearance of the four women in a moment, he could also imagine tables, chairs, beds, courtyard walls, houses, and even the streets and alleys of Chang'an City through some mental power......

He imagined that his four confidantes were walking back and forth in their own houses, sitting around playing cards in Honghu House, and shopping together in the lively East Market...... These interesting and vivid scenes, he can use his telekinesis to imagine the shape of clouds and mist one by one.

It's just that no matter how much, how long, how similar, and how interesting he thinks, the four "women" are just a cloud that will never speak to him, and it won't be long before they will disappear.

I don't know how much time has passed, but he still feels a little tired, and his heart is gradually tired of it. Later, he didn't even bother to do this only "entertainment......

Until one day, he suddenly thought of someone.

That person, handsome in appearance, depressed in expression, with strange bones and delicate appearance, always inadvertently revealed a little tiredness and depression in his eyes.

That person was none other than himself.

Why did he think of himself? He didn't know.

It was just at that moment that a glimmer of light seemed to be born in his mind, and unconsciously, he thought of himself.

Perhaps, he is thinking about the fate of the "self" in the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi, what will be the fate in the future?

Can "his" primordial spirit be resurrected again, can he return to the world, and can he take on the responsibility of protecting them, taking care of them, and accompanying them?

After all, he still thought of the four women of that world......

Xu Ke opened his eyes and saw the clouds and mist in front of him. An identical self also appeared. He looked at "Xu Ke" in the clouds, and "Xu Ke" in the clouds was also looking at him.

"Ahem......" He stared at himself for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ahem......" The "Xu Ke" turned into a cloud of mist actually sighed.

He was very curious in his heart, and couldn't help but stare carefully at the "Xu Ke" in front of him. He stared at the cloud that resembled himself for a long time, and at that moment, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He knew that those human forms turned into clouds and mist, no matter how similar they were, no matter how long they stood for a long time, no matter how much they behaved as true, they would never speak. But just now, he clearly heard the same sigh as himself.

He asked the "self" that had turned into the mist:

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" also asked.

Xu Ke was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, it turned out that the "self" turned into a cloud of mist could really speak!

"I'm my 'self'!" he replied with a smile.

"I'm myself!" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" also replied.

"Where are you from?" he asked again.

"Where are you from?" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" was also asking him.

"I am from heaven and earth," he replied, .......

"I am from heaven and earth!" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" also replied.

"What do you want?" he asked again.

"What do you want?" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" asked him again.

"I don't know what I want......" he replied casually.

"What I want, I don't know yet!" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" also replied.

"Can you just repeat what I said?" He couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, and said to himself, "You" can speak, but are you just a mouthpiece for me?

"Can you just repeat what I said?" The cloud-like "Xu Ke" also asked rhetorically.

"You're repeating what I said!" he shouted again.

"......" This time, the cloud-like "Xu Ke" was suddenly speechless.

"Why don't you speak?" he asked again.

The cloud-like "Xu Ke" of the "......" stood there quietly, still silent.

Xu Ke hurriedly said, "Hey...... You speak!" he thought to himself, it would be better for you to be my mouthpiece than not to say a word!

After a while, the cloud-like "Xu Ke" finally spoke again and asked rhetorically: "What do you want me to say?"

Xu Ke felt even more happy in his heart, he secretly said to himself, it turns out that "he" is not my mouthpiece, although "he" is turned into clouds, but he has his own independent thoughts, and he can still talk to me!

In this way, he is in this tenth-floor pavilion, and he finally has someone to talk to him. He's spent so much time alone here that he's almost forgotten who he is. Right now, how can he not be overjoyed to have a "self" incarnated by a cloud of mist suddenly appear, and to be able to talk and communicate with him like an ordinary person?!

Xu Ke thought for a while, then asked:

"Are you me?"

"I'm you!" replied the mist-like "Xu Ke".

"Why are you there?"

"You think of 'me' in your heart, and I naturally appear. ”

"What is this place?"

"This is the tenth floor of the God King Pavilion, the Floating Cloud Tower!"

"So...... How can I get out of here and go to the next level?"

Xu Ke immediately asked the question, and he was anxious to know the answer to the question at the moment.
