Xu Ke reluctantly waved goodbye to the four ladies, and walked up the stairs in an extremely heavy heart. He walked upstairs, and as soon as he stepped in, he felt a familiar scene.

"Isn't this the Mirror Flower Building?" Xu Ke touched his forehead and said to himself. He looked up and saw that there were red painted mud walls all around, a huge column in the middle, and wooden planks at his feet, and the whole round room was still empty.

Xu Ke thought in his heart, it turned out that I had left Sister Hu's dream like this, but he looked around, but he didn't find the huge bronze mirror.

"Huh...... Strange, what about the ancient mirror that used to stand here?" Xu Ke scratched his forehead and wondered.

"There's no ancient mirror here!" said a child's immature voice behind him.

Xu Ke turned around, but saw a young boy with a clear complexion and a slightly short figure standing behind him.

"Bahu!" Xu Ke exclaimed.

"What is Bahu?" The young boy wondered.

"Oh, I thought you were my ......," Xu Ke laughed. When he saw the child at this time, although he was slightly similar to Xu Bahu, after all, his expression and demeanor were very different, and the child's dress was also very strange, with only a loose green robe on his body, and a big green hat on his head, which was pointed at the top and round at the bottom, like a lotus leaf.

"Dare to ask, are you?" Xu Ke asked again.

"I am the 'Void Boy'. The green-clad and green-hatted boy replied.

"You're the Void Boy? So...... This is the third floor of the Divine King Pavilion, right?" Xu Ke looked around again and asked.

"Yes, this place is the Void Building in the Divine King Pavilion. The Void Boy replied. The tone of his voice was obviously extremely inconsistent with the age he appeared.

Xu Ke thought to himself: "I am on the second floor, and I can't find a way to climb the stairs by all means. I never thought that this path up the stairs was hidden in Sister Hu's dream! But I had experienced Yan'er, Belle, Xiaoyu, Xiaoqing, and the dreams of the four of them before, so why didn't I have a ladder to go upstairs, and I only had it in Sister Hu's dream? I walked up a floor in Sister Hu's dream, and when I came to this Void Building, how did Sister Hu's dream go? Did I break into Sister Hu's dream, or did Sister Hu send me to the Void Building in a dream? Since it was Sister Hu dreaming, how could she send me to this Void Tower? Could it be that I am still in Sister Hu's dream at the moment, and this so-called Void Boy and Void Pavilion are also unreal?"

Xu Ke experienced this thought in his heart, and his head became a little confused again. He looked back for the stairs from which he had come up, but found that there were no stairs going up or going down in the entire floor. The entire floor is like a pavilion suspended in the air, and you can't go down or up......

The Void Boy seemed to see through his thoughts, but said:

"Flowers are not flowers, dreams are not dreams! What you experience in the Mirror Flower Building, sometimes it is illusory, sometimes it is also true, the ancient mirror can lead you to the dream, and the ancient mirror is also the doorway for you to go up the next floor. You can go up to the third layer, it's all done by the ancient mirror!"

"So I'm really not in someone else's dream now?" Xu Ke asked again.

"You're really in the Void now. The Void Boy replied.

"Okay!" Xu Ke thought about the magical dream he had just experienced, it was really a very long dream, so long that he already felt that he had spent his whole life......

Xu Ke took a look at his head and asked: "Dare to ask the Void Boy, is there anything special about this Void Building? What should I do to go to the next level?" He looked around and found that there was really nothing in this floor of the pavilion, and there was an ancient mirror in the Mirror Flower Building below, which could often let you wear and play around, at least I wouldn't be bored in my heart. But in this layer of the void building, there is no furnishings, it is really as the name suggests, and the void is incomparable. If you are trapped in this layer of the pavilion, wouldn't it be sullen?

The Void Boy walked to a wall and smiled at Xu Ke: "Void Building, naturally it's a void! There is nothing here, the only thing that is there is this void." ”

"What is this? Since there is a thing, how can it be empty, and if it is a void, where does it come from?" Xu Ke smiled bitterly.

"The Void is not nothing, you can take a look......" the Void Boy said with a smile. With that, he took out a green brush from his bosom and drew circles on the wall. He drew nine circles of different sizes in a row, and the largest circle was covered with small circles, the smallest circle was only the size of a fist, and the largest circle was like a pot lid.

Xu Ke took a closer look and saw that all that was painted on the red wall were green circles. He only said that this was just a child's painting and playing, so he disagreed: "What is this? Could it be the legendary 'Void Circle'?"

The Void Boy waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is the 'Void Gate'!"

"Void Gate, what kind of door is this?" Xu Ke asked.

The Void Boy shook his head and said, "The Void is the origin of all things! Without 'emptiness' and 'emptiness', how can 'reality' and 'being' come from? Void is nothing, but in nothing, there is also something, only nothing can be born, and what is will return to nothing......

Xu Ke interrupted: "Dare to ask the boy, what are these circles for?"

The Void Boy sighed and said, "Big brother, I was about to say this, but you interrupted me! This is not a circle, it is the Void Gate, it can take you where you want to go!"

Xu Ke was puzzled: "Go where I want to go? Is that the upper level of the pavilion?"

The Void Boy sighed, "Ahem, big brother, are you thinking about going to the next level in your mind?

Xu Ke thought for a while, and then said, "Can it allow me to return to my home immediately?" At the moment, he really wanted to go home early, and see Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei as soon as possible, as well as Murong Yan, and even Yiqing. Because the previous dream was too real and too long, although he had left the dream at the moment, the concern and nostalgia for those girls in his heart had not diminished at all

Few.

The Void Boy shook his head and said, "It's such a simple thing as going home, why do you need to use the Void Gate? As long as you go up to the top floor and see the White Old Pavilion Master, you will naturally be able to leave the Pavilion." When you get out of the pavilion and turn a corner, isn't it Liquanfang?"

Xu Ke asked casually, "Then where else can it take me?"

"Take you back to the past!" the Void Boy replied with a sly smile at Xu Ke.

"The past, the past has passed, how can we go back?" Xu Ke sighed.

"You pass through my Void Gate, and you can go back in time!" said the Void Boy.

Xu Ke was curious: "Is it true that as long as you pass through those circles, you can go back to the past?"

The Void Boy nodded and replied, "Trust me, big brother, you can really do it!"

"How to wear it?" Xu Ke asked.

"With your head in mind where you're going, head forward and rush into the center of the circle, and that's it," replied the Void Boy.

Xu Ke asked again: "Is it really that simple? What if it misses a little?"

The Void Boy scratched his head and said, "It doesn't matter at all if you miss it, at most it will deviate a little time......"

Xu Ke said: "Then how can I come back?"

The Void Boy said: "The place where you rushed out is also a Void Gate, you crash into it again, and you will come back!"

Xu Ke scratched his forehead, stepped forward, and carefully examined the nine circles. He really couldn't believe that the Void Boy had just drawn it a few times, and it was a Void Gate that could travel back and forth through time and space.

Seeing Xu Ke's hesitant expression, the Void Boy began to explain again: "What you just said is right, the past is in the past, and what is in front of you is the reality. Because it has passed, it no longer exists, and the past is the so-called void, and my void door leads to the past. As the saying goes, the real leads to the virtual, and the virtual is also ...... from the void."

Xu Ke hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, then I'll wear it!" He said in his heart, there are no stairs up and down this floor, and if you want to go up, it seems that the only way to go up is to think from this so-called "Void Gate".

So, Xu Ke took three steps back, and rushed to the middle of the circle, only to hear a "bang", Xu Ke suddenly felt a pain in his head, and the sky spun for a while, and he almost fainted.

Although Xu Ke's forehead hit the circle in the center, it only knocked down some wall powder, and the rest did not change at all, he was still standing in the void building.

"You...... What kind of void door are you!" Xu Ke covered his forehead and exclaimed bitterly. A large bag had swollen out of his head.

"Huh, no, why didn't you react?" said the Void Boy. He stepped forward to carefully inspect the circles and half-rang, and then patted the top of his head, and suddenly realized: "Oh! It turns out that I have drawn a few less!"

The Void Boy picked up the green pen and "brushed" five more straight lines on the wall, which were connected together to form the shape of a five-pointed star, which was neatly embedded in nine circles.

"I'm sorry, big brother, this Void Gate needs to make up a ninety-five number, I drew nine circles before, but I forgot that there are five more lines. It's been a long time since anyone came, and I forgot a little about it...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The Void Boy finished drawing the figure and hurriedly apologized to Xu Ke.

"Will you forget this?" Xu Ke said aggrievedly as he covered his swollen forehead and faced the Void Boy. He thought to himself, didn't you mean to fix me, did you? But I really didn't offend you, and if you said that you were fixing me, this would be ...... Doesn't make sense?

At this moment, the Void Boy's green robe flickered, and the figure of the nine circles and five lines he had drawn earlier suddenly doubled in size. Not only that, but the wall with circles and pentagram stars was faintly fluctuating, as if there was really a "void door" embedded there.

"This should be the real Void Gate!" Xu Ke thought to himself. He took five steps back, a sprint, and jumped into the wall.

The void boy behind Xu Ke looked at the empty attic blankly, suddenly sighed boredly, took out the green brush again, and scribbled on the wall next to him.

He drew some flowers and plants haphazardly, and after he finished painting, he admired it for a moment, and suddenly felt bad again, so he flicked the sleeves of his robe against the wall, and the green ink was all back on the placket of his shirt. He picked up his pen and started drawing against the wall again.

......

......

"Second brother!" Xu Ke felt that he had just passed through the wall, and he saw his second brother Zhu Wucan, walking downstairs in a puff. Zhu Wuneng walked to a square table and sat down, slapped the table and shouted, "Little Er, bring me something to eat!"

"Second brother, second brother!" Xu Ke exclaimed happily. He was about to step forward to recognize Zhu Wuineng, but he was shocked to see that he was just a phantom. In this place, no one could hear his shouting, and no one could see him walking.

Xu Ke looked around, suddenly felt very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he recalled that this place was the "Yunqi Inn" where he and Zhu Wuneng first arrived in Chang'an that day.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the Yunqi Inn hurriedly ran forward and greeted, "Hey, this master, what do you want?"

Zhu Wuneng said in an urn voice: "What is delicious here?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Let's have meat buns, big beard cakes, beef and green onion noodles, beef tendon soup...... It's all delicious!"

Zhu Wuneng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and ordered: "One hundred meat buns, thirty flatbreads, and the rest, ten plates of each, starve me to death!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest officer, you want so much, can you finish eating?"

Zhu Wuneng hurriedly said: "Don't be wordy, hurry up!"

However, Zhu Wuneng waited for a long time, but the shopkeeper only brought two plates, one plate of six buns, the other plate of three flatbreads, and nothing else.

Zhu Wuneng picked up the bun flatbread, like a wind and clouds, and swallowed all these foods into his stomach in three times and two times. But where can a few flatbreads fill his belly?

The more I ate, the more hungry I felt, and when I saw that the shopkeeper was delayed, I was so anxious that I shouted again: "Xiao'er, come again, come here again!"

The shopkeeper came to Zhu Wuneng's side slowly, and ignored him: "This guest officer, our shopkeeper said that if you want to eat something delicious again, you have to bring the silver over!"

"Didn't my eldest brother give you money last night?" said Zhu Wuneng.

"Hey, your memory is pretty good! It seems that you're not stupid!" the shopkeeper looked a little surprised when he heard this. However, his outstretched palm did not take it back, and he still said disdainfully: "The silver taels given by the son yesterday have paid off the house money, and there is not much left." This guest officer, with your appetite, that bit of silver is not enough!"

At this time, Xu Ke next to him was already annoyed, and he shouted: "You stupid killer who looks down on people! I clearly remember that I have given you ten taels of silver cakes, which is enough for my second brother to eat, how dare you deceive him!"

However, even if Xu Ke shouted loudly, no one here could hear him. I only heard Zhu Wuneng and asked angrily, "Where is my eldest brother?"

The shopkeeper guessed that Zhu Wuneng must not be able to take out the silver taels, so he withdrew his palm, and said in a disdainful tone: "The son you said left early in the morning, and I don't know where he went, maybe, he won't come back in the future!"

After that, the shopkeeper left in a hurry, leaving Zhu Wuneng to sit alone at the table and continue to starve.

Xu Ke, who was "void" next to him, couldn't help but blame himself, it turned out that I was pulled away by Qi Wenzhong Qiang that day, and before I could explain to the shopkeeper, they thought that I had left my second brother and abandoned him alone. Since ancient times, merchants have been profitable, and they never thought that they would treat their second brother slowly because I was not in the store!

At this time, Xu Ke saw an old man about fifty years old walking in outside the store. The man was very short, less than four feet tall, with a small head, short hands, and a high and bulging back, as if he was carrying a large package, which was exactly the "Gui Boss" he saw in his night dream in Suzhou City last year.

Xu Ke suddenly saw Boss Gui, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

That night, I was also in a dream and saw my second brother Zhu Wuneng fighting against the "Eight Monarchs of Shuifu" in a small forest in the city. He suddenly appeared, which made the "Eight Gentlemen of Shuifu" all retreat. However, every time Xu Ke thinks about it, he feels that what he sees in his dream is not a dream, as if it really happened. The land lord of Suzhou City once went to the north gate to see him off, and his words and deeds also confirmed this. However, afterwards, he always asked his second brother in words, but Zhu Wuneng always talked about him left and right.

Is his dream in Suzhou City fake, or is his dream with four ladies on Bibo Island real?

The dream of Suzhou City is obviously real, but he is like being in a dream.

The dream of Bibo Island, knowing that it was all a dream, he felt it so real.

In the end, what is true and what is a dream in this world?

Perhaps, the "truth" we usually see in our eyes is just someone else's dream. Perhaps, the "illusion" we experience in our dreams is precisely the reality of this world.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke's phantom couldn't help but look at the air from afar, and sighed......

"Tiancang, you come with me!" said the boss Gu Zi walked to Zhu Wuneng and sat down opposite him, and said straight to the point.

Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Boss Gui suddenly appear, and then asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going to see the third princess! she's waiting for you in the Dragon King Temple outside the city!" replied to the boss.

"Don't go!" Zhu Wuneng waved his hand.

"Why don't you go, you and the third princess of our family, but you were ...... back then" Gui Boss tried to persuade Zhu Wucan.

"Oh! Don't mention back then! Back then, I was ignorant, and I followed her to fool around, causing me to be punished by the Heavenly Court! Now, I want to protect my eldest brother and not go anywhere!" Zhu Wuneng interrupted Gui Boss's words and said impatiently.

The boss twisted the two long strands of hair under his chin and thought to himself. He saw that Zhu Wuneng at this time seemed to have injuries on his body, and his speech was also weak, as if he was sick. He had an idea and thought about it, so he asked, "I said Zhu Tianpeng, are you ...... Hungry?"

As soon as the word "hungry" was mentioned, Zhu Wuneng's face immediately changed aggrieved, and he nodded to the boss and said, "Mmmmmmmmmm

Boss Gui laughed and said, "You just have to come with me, whatever you want to eat, you have it!"

Zhu Wuneng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Boss Gui's hand and asked, "Really, I want to eat a lot of meat buns!"

"Even if you want to eat a mountain of meat buns, you have them!" Gui Boss looked unmoved, like a mountain, and said majestically.

"Then what are you waiting for!Let's go!" Zhu Wuneng had already stood up and was busy urging the boss to return.

"Don't you wait for your eldest brother, don't you say that you still have to protect him?......" Gui Boss wanted to capture the old man at this time, and asked with a leisurely expression.

"Ahem! He's my senior brother, why do you need me to protect him?!Let's go quickly! I'll be hungry for a while, my old Zhu Ke will really not be able to walk!" Zhu Wuneng had already pulled the boss and walked towards the door of the inn.

Xu Ke's phantom followed Zhu Wuneng to the door of the inn, but he couldn't step out. He looked back and saw that nine dark green circles had appeared on the wall behind the shopkeeper. The nine circles were rippling like water ripples, as if calling him back.

"It seems that this time and space journey is over here!" Xu Ke knew a little about his situation at this time, and he strode hard again, but he still couldn't get out of the door of the inn. He sighed, turned around and rushed towards the wall......

In the distance, I also heard the voices of the eldest and his second brother:

"Although your senior brother is powerful, he is just a **mortal fetus at this time, you really ...... Aren't you going to protect him?"

"It's not that I don't protect it, my nine-tooth nail rake is lost, and now I'm a wasted person, and I still protect a fart!"

......
