Chapter Ninety-Six, Ninth Floor Pavilion
[February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Shenshi, the sixth floor of the Shenwang Pavilion]
Xu Ke walked into the sixth-floor pavilion and looked up to see a tall and ugly person standing in front of him. The man had a narrow forehead and broad eyebrows, horizontal cheeks and teeth, and looked almost exactly like the "Messenger of Corruption" downstairs.
"It's you again, the messenger of anti-greed," Xu Ke said in surprise. He thought to himself, is it possible, I still walked into a false staircase transformed by a greedy beast as I did last time, and after a few floors, I will still fall back into the first floor of the pavilion......? Isn't that the greedy beast already in my hands?
"I am the 'Messenger of Anger', and this is the sixth floor. But the ugly-looking man said indifferently.
"It turned out to be 'go to the messenger of hatred'! It's polite!" Xu Ke hurriedly bowed his hand. At this time, he took a closer look at the other party's face, and although he saw that the "Messenger of Anger" looked almost exactly the same as the "Messenger of Resentment", his big face was full of white stripes.
Xu Ke couldn't help but secretly think to himself, it turned out that these two pavilion guards looked exactly the same, but their complexions were different. The one downstairs was born with a green face, but the one in front of him was a white face. It seems that I finally don't have to go back to the "anti-corruption building" again! When he thought that he had finally reached the sixth floor, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The "Envoy to Anger" looked at Xu Ke carefully for a moment, nodded again, and said, "It's very simple to get through this building, just defeat the 'Anger Beast'......"
As he spoke, the white-faced messenger pointed in the direction of the staircase. Xu Ke looked in the direction of his finger and saw a white-haired "big dog" lying in front of the stairs.
It is not a big dog, it has a small head, a short body, but its four legs are unusually long, and it has a fluffy tail that wags from side to side, and it looks like a fox.
Xu Ke saw that the dog-like "hateful beast" looked so cute, lying there at the moment, as if he was sleepy, lying lazily on the ground, ignoring him. He couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "This is the 'Beast of Hatred'?"
"Otherwise?" the envoy to anger was also like a "beast of hatred" on the ground, ignoring Xu Ke's love.
"I'm going to ...... Kill it?" Xu Ke looked at the furry snow-white monster, and the long sword in his hand couldn't bear to move.
"Whatever you want!" said the messenger impatiently.
"Can I just go upstairs without fighting it?"
“......”
Seeing that the envoy didn't say much to him, Xu Ke had to walk to the stairs, and he was about to step up the ladder, when he suddenly saw that the "angry beast" actually "whined", jumped and jumped into his arms.
Xu Ke was in a hurry, so he had to hug the "hateful beast". I saw that the little white-haired monster that looked like a dog and a fox opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, licking up and down Xu Ke's head and face, and his expression was extremely intimate.
Xu Ke grew up in a farmhouse and has always loved wild cats and dogs in the countryside, so he doesn't resist at this moment, and lets the "hateful beast" cling to his face, sniffing left and licking right. Seeing that the little monster was so cute, he couldn't help but touch the monster's white-haired little head.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the little head of the "Hated Beast," he suddenly felt a heat in his arms, and then he smelled a very foul smell of urine. He secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, this little monster actually sprinkled a bubble of old urine in his arms.
Xu Ke was suddenly angry and funny in his heart, the clothes in his chest and abdomen were wet at this time, and it was useless to blame it in his heart, so he didn't have a seizure. He looked at the little monster's "innocent" eyes, touched its little head again, and said with a smile: "You little monster, you really know how to find a place to pee!"
He turned the "Anger Beast" in his arms to the front of the Anger Messenger, and asked again: "Dare to ask the Anger Messenger, is this white-haired dog really the 'Anger Beast'?"
The envoy nodded and said, "Exactly!"
"Okay, then please ask the messenger to hold it for me for a while, wait for me to straighten my clothes, and then discuss with it......" At this time, Xu Ke exuded an extremely strong smell of urine on the clothes between his chest and abdomen.
The envoy bowed slightly towards Xu Ke, and then reached out to take the white-haired "hatred beast". As soon as the little monster entered the hands of the envoy of anger, its figure disappeared and turned into a white-haired duster.
The envoy stretched out his white-haired duster and dusted it off at the clothes on Xu Ke's chest, and the strong smell that was still surrounding Xu Ke's body immediately dissipated without a trace.
The messenger waved his hand, pointed to the stairs, and said, "Go!"
Xu Ke was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so easy to go up to the sixth layer of the pavilion. At that moment, he did not hesitate any longer, got up and walked up the wooden ladder......
After entering the seventh-floor pavilion, Xu Ke looked around and saw a tall man with a strange ugly face standing in front of him. His appearance was exactly the same as that of the two messengers before him.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, who is the envoy?" This time it was Xu Ke's turn to ask first.
"I am the 'Messenger of Absolute Ignorance'!" the man said.
Xu Ke looked at the other party's face again, and it was still the same appearance with a wide mouth and shrugged cheeks, a big nose and thin eyes, but only one face was full of black stripes.
It turned out that the people guarding the pavilion in these pavilions had a messenger on each floor, and each messenger looked the same, but his face was different.
"Under Xu Ke, I've seen the Absolute Idiot Messenger!" Xu Ke bowed to the black-faced messenger.
The envoy of absolute intuition pointed to the staircase behind him, and still said lightly:
"The 'Crazy Beast' is there, and you can go up after her!"
Xu Ke walked to the front of the stairs and saw a thick cloud blocking the stairs, and the clouds and mist curled Nana, like a woman with a beautiful face.
Xu Ke's secret luck true qi converged in his right palm
, he said "hey" in his chest, and then slapped at the cloud and mist. Although he had never practiced the palm technique, after all, he was full of true qi, and he saw that wherever the palm wind went, the cloud and mist immediately drifted to both sides.
Xu Ke was about to stride forward and walk towards the wooden ladder in front of him. But I saw that the cloud and mist suddenly gathered, and merged into the appearance of a woman. At this time, the woman in the mist was scratching her head, looking at her figure, just like a beautiful woman she knew......
Xu Ke was irritable, so he put his hands together and slapped at the woman-shaped cloud again and again. Under the agitation of the palm, the clouds and mist continued to disperse, but every time Xu Ke stepped forward, the clouds and mist gathered instantly.
Xu Ke had no choice but to take off the long sword on his back, and shouted loudly: "Break the golden potential!" The sword qi raised a gust of wind and stabbed straight towards the "woman" in the clouds.
The "woman" in the cloud and mist seemed to be frightened, and before the sword qi arrived, the cloud and mist immediately dissipated. However, as soon as the sword move passed, the clouds and mist immediately gathered, and she was still the "beauty" who was still beautiful.
Xu Ke couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart. He said in his heart, this cloud-like opponent, how can I get rid of it? Why don't I use a ruthless move to force you to have nowhere to escape!
At that moment, he was running the True Yuan, and the True Qi was bubbling out like a valley spring, steaming up from the sea of dantian qi and pouring into his right arm. He shouted several times in a row: "Breaking the gold potential, opening the wood potential, tearing the earth potential, breaking the water potential, swinging the fire potential!" This time, he used the five potential sword moves in accordance with the method of the five elements of mutual restraint. He raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and in an instant, he used this move "One Qi Mixed Yuan Sword" five times in a row. I saw a sharp sword aura, coming from the tip of the sword, it was really as dashing as the twilight rain filled the river sky, and it was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. At this time, the pavilion was already full of Xu Ke's sword qi......
Under the swaying and agitation of Xu Ke's sword qi in the sky, that cloud and mist suddenly disappeared without a trace. Xu Ke was overjoyed in his heart, put his sword back into the sheath, touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart, you were finally scared away by me!
Unexpectedly, before he had time to steal fun, the clouds in front of him had quietly closed, and immediately there was a graceful "woman" standing in front of him. Looking at the appearance of the "woman", it was as if her eyes were blinking, and she was laughing at his sword moves, but that's it......
Xu Ke suddenly felt bitter in his heart, he let out a long sigh, and sat down on the ground.
He pondered in his heart, but he didn't expect this "crazy beast" to be so difficult! No matter how hard I tried with my sword, I still couldn't knock it down. How exactly do I get through this?
There was no way, Xu Ke had to sit cross-legged again, his eyes slightly closed, secretly concentrating on breathing, and thinking silently in his heart......
I don't know how long it took, Xu Kewu sat on the ground and thought quietly:
"The name of this pavilion is called 'Absolute Idiot Building', and it must be cracked from the word 'Idiot'. ”
"What is 'infatuation'? Since ancient times, there are countless people who are infatuated with men and women, and there are countless people who are depressed and infatuated, the more they are infatuated, the more they are attached to it, and they can't extricate themselves, and finally they are trapped by love, and finally lose themselves, sink into the sea of love and can't get out......
"In addition to being obsessed with things, there are also people who are obsessed with things, fame, profit, and position, and everyone who falls into the state of 'obsession' is obsessed with it, and they forget it, and they don't know what the world really is.
If we break through the appearance and turn a blind eye to the foolish, we will be able to eliminate the foolish thoughts and return to the true ......."
As soon as Xu Ke thought of "turning a blind eye is an absolute idiot", his eyes immediately opened and he stood up. At this time, the "woman" in the clouds and mist was still slender and delicate, and she stood in front of Xu Ke.
He slowly walked towards the "woman" in the mist, although his eyes were staring at the "woman" tightly, but his eyes were not sad or happy, as if there was nothing.
No matter how charming the "woman" in front of her is, how she sends autumn waves frequently, and how enchanting and moving, in Xu Ke's eyes, it is completely as if it does not exist......
He neither raised his hand nor drew his sword, but rushed headlong into the clouds. Suddenly, he was wrapped in a large cloud, and it seemed as if he had lost his direction in front of him.
He still regarded the clouds in front of him as nothing, and his feet slowly moved forward. After a while, he seemed to hear the leisurely sigh of a woman in his ears, and his eyes lit up, and sure enough, after the clouds cleared, he was already standing on the wooden ladder.
Xu Ke looked at the Absolute Envoy and saw that the black-faced envoy nodded at him, and then he walked up and entered the eighth floor of the pavilion.
After going up to the eighth floor of the pavilion, Xu Ke's heart couldn't help but relax slightly, he looked up to check the situation of this floor pavilion, and when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
The man was tall and had a strange face, still exactly the same as the previous ones, except that his face was full of red stripes.
Xu Ke hurriedly bowed his hand, and was about to ask: "Dare to ask Your Excellency what kind of envoy he is?"
The man waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I am a 'messenger of delusion', you are not sick, I have lived in this building for a long time, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I've seen the 'Delusion Breaking Messenger' without illness!" Xu Ke looked at the red-faced messenger in front of him, and saw that although his face was the same as the previous three people, the expression between his eyebrows was very kind, and his speech was quite hearty. He said in his heart, it seems that although these messengers have the same appearance, they are not the same person after all.
"Good, good!" the messenger bowed back to Xu Ke.
With the previous experience of connecting the three floors, Xu Ke also has some experience in the method of passing the pavilion on each floor. Naturally, the method of going upstairs on each floor must be the same, and it must be to kill the monster in front of the stairs. After Xu Ke thought of this section, he immediately asked:
"Dare to ask the 'Delusion Destroyer', if you want to pass this building, do you have to defeat the 'delusion beast'?"
"No!" replied with a smile from the Messenger of Delusion.
You don't have to fight monsters, so how can you go to the next level?"
"You just have to answer me one question. ”
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!" said the messenger laughed again, "However, you can go upstairs if you answer correctly, if you answer incorrectly, you can only ...... Stay here with me all the time!"
"How to judge right and wrong?" Xu Ke thought to himself, there is no one else here, right and wrong, not all of them are up to you!
"Right is right, wrong is always wrong, why should others judge?" said the messenger of delusion.
"So...... Excuse me!"
The messenger cleared his throat and asked in a loud voice:
"Yesterday's day is no longer kept, today's day is more worrying, tomorrow's day is not known, if you are allowed to choose, which day do you like to stay in?"
Xu Ke thought for a while, and immediately replied:
"I don't choose any day!"
"Oh...... Why is that?" the Messenger of Delusion asked curiously.
Xu Ke said: "Although yesterday's day is no longer kept, after all, it is my personal experience, and all those I have experienced will have memories that make me happy." Although there are many worries about today's day, after all, it is my real life, and every real experience is my great gain! Besides, if I don't experience worries, how can I rejoice? Although I don't know how tomorrow's day will change, it is precisely because of the unknown that we have hope and joy in our hearts, if we know our end early, what is the interest of this life? Yes, no matter which day is the day I must pass, no matter which day, it is also my favorite day, why should I choose?
The messenger of delusion pondered for a long time, and said: "What do you mean, every day is the best, every day is the necessity of life, so you don't have to choose at all, just face it naturally, and do your best every day!"
Xu Ke smiled: "That's exactly what it means!"
"Okay, good!" After the messenger said three good words in a row, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden ladder behind him, and laughed: "Little brother, go up!"
"Thank you, Brother Po!" Xu Ke leaned over and saluted the red-faced messenger, then strode up and walked towards the ninth floor of the pavilion.
I only heard the hearty voice of the messenger of delusion sound behind him again:
"Little brother, this ninth-layer pavilion is not very easy, the old man above had better confuse others, when the time comes, don't be discouraged!"
......
After entering the ninth-floor pavilion, Xu Ke still carefully looked around first to see which messenger this pavilion keeper was?
Xu Ke walked around the giant pillar in the middle a few times, but found that this floor was empty.
He looked up, and there were no floating beads or fat people on the roof.
"Here...... Is there anyone?" Xu Ke exclaimed, but there was still no one on the entire floor.
He saw that there was no one on the floor, but the wooden ladder was. I didn't think much about it at the moment, so I simply got up and walked up the ladder.
I didn't want to, I walked to the top of the wooden ladder, and I was about to step into the tenth floor of the pavilion, but I saw a tall person suddenly appear in front of me.
The man had a narrow forehead and wide eyebrows, a big nose and thin eyes, and he still looked exactly like the four people downstairs, except that one face was full of yellow stripes. Needless to say, Xu Ke guessed what kind of "messenger" this person must be......
Xu Ke hurriedly took two steps back, bowed his hand, and asked:
"Dare to ask, which messenger is Venerable?"
Unexpectedly, the yellow-faced messenger who met him "snorted" and did not answer him, but went downstairs and walked to the center of the ninth floor pavilion.
Xu Ke smiled bitterly a few times, so he had to follow downstairs, walked in front of the messenger, bowed again, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask the envoy, why is this building?"
The yellow-faced envoy snorted coldly again: "You don't know what building, so you dare to go up like this?"
"This ......" Xu Ke was speechless for a while, he said in his heart I have been looking for you for a long time and have not seen anyone, I don't go up, are you still waiting to spend the night here?
The yellow-faced envoy saw Xu Ke speechless, and sneered: "This place is the 'Elimination of Confusion Building', and I am the 'Elimination of Confusion Messenger'! If you can't go up from here, you can only be trapped in this building for life......
"Dare to ask the 'Elimination of Confusion Messenger', how can I go up from this?" Xu Ke immediately asked.
"How do you get up, then I'll have to ask yourself!" replied the emissary angrily.
"Ask myself?" Xu Ke couldn't help but scratch his forehead, he looked around, thought for a while, and then asked: "So, may I ask the Mystery Removal Messenger, can there be a 'Mystery Beast' in this building?"
"Is there a 'bewitched beast' that you won't look for yourself?" the emissary rolled his eyes at Xu Ke and said impatiently.
Xu Ke had to go around the circular giant pillar again and look for a long time in the pavilion, and in the entire floor of the pavilion, except for the staircase that he had just come down, there was still nothing.
In desperation, Xu Ke returned to the envoy and asked cheekily:
"Excuse me, do you need me to answer a question?"
"No!" the emissary replied coldly.
Xu Ke walked around the floor again, he went up and down, carefully and carefully looked at this floor of the "Lost Mystery Building", but still couldn't find any clues.
As soon as Xu Ke gritted his teeth, he simply walked up the ladder and walked to the next level, thinking, don't care about him, go up first, perhaps, this way to go upstairs is so simple?
He took three steps and made two steps, walked up quickly, raised his feet, and was about to enter the floor of the "Tenth Floor Pavilion", but he didn't want to, his feet were empty, and he suddenly fell straight down......
"Sure enough, Brother Po Delusion is right, this ninth-layer pavilion is not very easy!"
