Chapter 18: Gu Yue's decision

Late at night, Gu Yue lay alone in bed, worried about her parents. All this came so suddenly, that Gu Yue still seemed to be in a dream, the tragic death of his family and the disappearance of his parents made him a little unacceptable. Now that he is alone, he thinks back to the experience of the past few days, and sad emotions flood up and fill his mind. Gu Yue didn't know what to do next, he was very worried about whether his parents were still alive now, after all, he didn't see his parents' corpses, he still had a glimmer of hope, but the strength of those two people was so strong that day, thinking of these Gu Yue's worries were a little worse.

While Gu Yue was thinking wildly, the wooden door of the room was pushed open, and a figure walked in. Gu Yue looked up and saw that the person who came was Xu Qing, and he hurriedly got up and greeted: "Uncle Xu, haven't you slept so late?"

Xu Qing walked up to Gu Yue, sat down, and looked at Gu Yue with a long sigh. Seeing this, Gu Yue knew that Xu Qing had something very important to say to him next, so he hurriedly gathered his mind and listened carefully to Xu Qing's words.

"Xiaoyue, there are some things I didn't want to tell you, we all hope that you can spend your life in peace and don't get involved in this whirlpool like us. But now that things have changed a bit, what I'm going to talk to you about next may be about your future fate. You have to think carefully about whether you want to know these things. Xu Qing said solemnly.

"Once these things are chosen, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn back in this life. Your own destiny will be in your own hands in the future, and Uncle Xu can't be with you forever, this choice is very important, so I hope you think about it before giving me the answer. Whether you want to know your parents' past, what is going on with all of this, or whether you want to know the secrets behind these specific things, and what choices you will make in the future, these are all decisions that you need to make, and you can only bear all the consequences by yourself. Just like Neo chooses the pill, now please think clearly, and then answer me whether you want the red pill and make a choice after knowing everything is hidden, or the blue pill, and live your life peacefully and peacefully without any danger and difficulty. Xu Qing stopped here as he spoke, and sat down looking at Gu Yue's expression with a serious face, waiting for his answer.

After Gu Yue heard Xu Qing's words, his heart was also struggling, he knew that Uncle Xu must be saying this for his good, Uncle Xu must have hoped that he would forget all this and spend this life safely, but Gu Yue asked himself, can he really treat it as if nothing happened and then spend the rest of his life in peace? I'm afraid not, if everything has not happened before, then he is likely to accept Xu Qing's arrangement. But so many things have happened in the past few days, and now let Gu Yue act as if nothing happened, it will definitely not be possible. So Gu Yue didn't think too much about it, so he raised his head and answered Xu Qing's question seriously.

"Uncle Xu, I know you don't want me to know that you're good to me, you have been the one who loves me the most since I was a child. But now that I am left to think that the things that happened before do not exist, and forget about them for the rest of my life, I am afraid I will not be able to sit down. I owe a lot to my parents over the years, and I know that I haven't done a good job as a child, and I'm too willful. Now I want to apologize to them for not even seeing them in person, so I just forgot that I really couldn't do it. ”

"I knew that if I made another choice, there would be a big secret behind it, something I couldn't afford right now. But I'm really curious to know all about it. When I was a child, I was born and raised on the island, so I didn't think it was strange, but over the years when I went to school like ordinary people in the outside world, I gradually realized how strange our family was, and I realized that other people in this world were different from us, and even far from us. ”

"All the training I received as a child, the things I learned. It's not something that a normal child should be exposed to at all. And with all these things you and my mother saw when you and I came back at sea and the other day, I know that our home must be a special place. There must be a secret behind this that I don't know and that is enough to shock the worldview of ordinary people. I seem to have two choices now, but I have no choice but to choose the red pill because I want to see my mom and dad again, and I want to be with them. No matter what the price it will take, even my own life, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing opposite with a firm look in his eyes, as if there was a solid stone in his heart, and no force could control him, Xu Qing saw in Gu Yue's eyes that he was indomitable. This made Xu Qing think of the scene when he saw Gu Xiaofei for the first time, and he was a little moved. "It's really like..."Xu Qing thought to himself.

"Well, now that you've decided, there's no way back. Good boy, you are exactly the same as your father when he was younger. I'm going to tell you everything. Xu Qing's face relaxed, and his tone gradually softened, as if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. Slowly told Gu Yue about those secret things in the past, those secrets that they said they would protect together.

"Your parents and I are both cultivators, the difference is only that our cultivation systems are different, but the purpose of our cultivation is to become stronger and see a wider world. When I first met your mother, it was in a place called Huixin Village, which is why we later named that island Huixin Village, and we still miss the life in the village a little. ”

"At the beginning, your mother and I were cultivating under the same sect, and she was my little junior sister. At that time, the sect would select outstanding disciples from time to time to carry out some training or treasure exploration tasks, and once when we were conducting an experience mission, due to the lack of careful investigation before leaving, coupled with some errors in the intelligence, we had a major accident in that mission, and the situation was far beyond what our strength could handle. ”

"The accident almost wiped out our entire team, and your mother and I were also very badly wounded, and everyone was scattered at the time, and all of them were badly injured. I also passed out from my injuries. Later, when I woke up again, I had already returned to Shimen, and I heard that Shimen had sent people to look for us after they found out that we were in danger, but only I was found, and all the others were missing. ”

"I was sad and sad for a long time to know this, because I led the team that time, and as a result, I was not only injured, but I was not able to bring back any of my companions, and I was very depressed during that time. It wasn't until much later that your mother returned to the sect alone. When we asked her how she came back, she just said that she was seriously injured, and that she had met a good Samaritan who saved her, and that she came back alone after her injuries healed. ”

"In fact, she was rescued by your father at that time, and it was the first time the two met, and it was also the beginning of the tragedy that was destined to follow. At that time, none of us paid much attention to it, and just said that it was good for people to come back. In fact, if we had figured everything out at the time, we might have been able to avoid what happened later. ”

"After that, we continued to practice normally, but when we went on a mission again, I no longer wanted to be the captain of the team. Later, on another mission, we met your father again, and it was your mother who led the team, and she told us that this was the person who saved her in the first place, and of course we were very grateful to him. Later, your mother invited him to complete the mission with us, and the benefits were divided equally between us, and we didn't say anything, and in that adventure your mother and father became more and more affectionate, and gradually came together. ”
