Chapter 83: Nightmare (3)
Gu Jingmo squatted down to check the damage and found that there were a lot of wounds on the body. Although I was surprised, I was also happy for my younger brothers and sisters.
"It seems that the time has come for the junior brothers and sisters to go down the mountain to practice, this nightmare is still relatively difficult to deal with, you have come out of the nightmare so quickly, and you have really made a lot of progress. ”
Cen Duxiao didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was Yi Shugui who was beating the nightmare, and waved his hand and said: "It should be that Shugui has improved a lot, and his swordsmanship has improved even more." ”
Gu Jingmo thought to himself: "The wound on this nightmare doesn't look like a sword wound." ”
Cen Duxiao recalled that the sunset Yanfeng gathered together to eat, Mu Yuqiao did look at it and asked, "Senior Brother Mu, what's wrong with him?"
Gu Jingmo said: "Since he returned to the mountain, he has been silent, although he usually doesn't talk much, but he will never be like now." ”
"Then why don't we go and have a look?" Cen Duxiao said, "Why?"
Yi Shu was still in a daze, and Cen Duxiao called him, and he hadn't recovered yet.
Cen Duxiao patted him, "Hey, are you still thinking about the illusion?"
Yi Shugui paused before saying, "No, what did you just do?"
Cen Duxiao sighed helplessly, "I'll go with Senior Brother Gu, do you want to go back and rest first?"
Yi Shugui said dumbfounded: "Oh, good!" Stunned, he unsheathed his sword and prepared to go back.
Cen Duxiao saw that he was not giving up, and said worriedly: "Return, you have a heart." ”
"Don't worry......" Yi Shugui smiled at her, there was always some subtle change in his eyes.
Cen Duxiao and Gu Jingmo returned to the residence of Muyu Bridge in Luoyan Peak together.
Cen Duxiao knocked lightly on the door, "Senior brother, are you there?"
"Come in......," the room responded.
Mu Yuqiao stood in front of the window, looking out of the window, silent.
Cen Duxiao saw that his mental state was indeed not good, and said with concern: "Senior Brother Mu, what's wrong with you?
Mu Yuqiao didn't answer, nor did he glance at Cen Duxiao and Gu Jingmo, but only said something inexplicable: "Is the mistake that people make in a thought really unforgivable and irreparable?"
Gu Jingmo said: "Yuqiao, what do you mean by this, what happened?"
Cen Duxiao knew that Mu Yuqiao shouldn't want to do anything more at this time, so he only replied to him: "Forgiveness is something else, we can't control other thoughts, but we can do our best to make up for our mistakes." ”
Mu Yuqiao was slightly stunned, "Then what if this mistake can't be made up, and I can't forgive myself?"
Cen Duxiao said without thinking: "If you can't make up for it, then it's useless for you to regret it, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuqiao smiled bitterly, "Senior sister can see it more thoroughly than me." ”
"I also entered the illusion created by the nightmare just now, and saw some things that I couldn't understand, but they never happened, I wonder if Senior Brother Mu is the same, because he is trapped in the illusion created by the nightmare and can't get out?" Cen Duxiao asked, "Those are not necessarily real, why should Senior Brother Mu think about it." ”
Mu Yuqiao said: "No, it's true, I want to thank it for allowing me to find my long-lost memory." ”
Cen Duxiao had heard that Mu Yuqiao was an orphan that Yi Han picked up from a southern village.
When he was nine years old, his hometown was hit by floods, and houses collapsed, killing and injuring more than half of the people in the village, including his parents.
After returning to Huashan, Mu Yuqiao was always more silent than other children, often sitting there alone in a daze, without a few words, answering what others asked, and basically not taking the initiative to talk to people.
Later, when he grew up, his personality became a little more cheerful.
Yuen Long, Yuen Hong, Mu Yuqiao and Shum Duxiao of Lok Yan Peak are all poor people who have no father and no mother.
Cen Duxiao heard that Mu Yuqiao had found a long-lost memory, and guessed that it might be related to his life experience, "What did Senior Brother Mu remember?"
"It's me, it's me who killed my sister...... Mu Yuqiao couldn't hide his grief, "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died." ”
Gu Jingmo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Yuqiao, don't fall for the tricks of the nightmare! This kind of demon doesn't seem to have much combat power, but I didn't expect it to be able to influence people like this, it's really harmful!"
Cen Duxiao didn't think it was a demon's problem, she seemed to have thought of something, but she wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, so she asked, "Sister, Senior Brother Mu still has a sister?"
Mu Yuqiao finally opened his heart, and it might be better to come out.
"Our village is located on the bank of the river, and that year there was a big flood, and the crops in the village were flooded, so some people suspected that the villagers were angry with the river god, and the river god was angry that caused the rain to keep the river rising. Some people in the village spontaneously organized themselves to take boys and girls to sacrifice to the river god, that is, to throw the children into the river. ”
Cen Duxiao thought to herself: "Feudal superstition kills people! If a god needs a living person to sacrifice, is it still a god?"
Mu Yuqiao continued: "My sister and I were among them, I was nine years old and my sister was six years old. My parents tried their best to protect my sister and me, rescued my sister and me, and told me to flee my hometown with my sister and not come back. Before we could go far, my sister had a fever and couldn't wake up, I carried her on my back, and it didn't take long for someone to find out, I was afraid...... I was afraid that I would be taken back to pay tribute to the river god, and I didn't want to die, so I hid my sister in a cave, intending to lure people away before returning to find her. ”
Gu Jingmo asked, "Then what happened later, didn't you find her?"
Mu Yuqiao's eyes were full of remorse, and said: "It's not that I didn't find it, but I didn't dare to go back to find my sister after I escaped, I ran to the town, and I heard that our village was all flooded, and there may be no survivors, I was too cowardly at that time, I didn't dare to go back...... Then I met Master. After coming to Huashan, I was seriously ill, and I don't know if I subconsciously didn't want to face that cowardly self, I would forget her. ”
Gu Jingmo said: "You were still old at the time, and it was normal to be a little scared, don't blame yourself too much." ”
Cen Duxiao didn't know how to comfort Mu Yuqiao, and was even a little angry that he would leave his sister.
Seeing Mu Yuqiao Cheng sullen, she couldn't bear to blame him, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Your sister may not be dead, is she called Mu Tong?"
Gu Jingmo opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "It can't be such a coincidence, right? Your Mu Tong is the girl you brought back from Medicine Immortal Valley." ”
"Yes, it's her, I listened to Senior Brother Mu's description, and her experience is somewhat similar, so I made such a bold guess. ”
Cen Duxiao didn't expect such a coincidence, she had already heard of Mu Tong, she was separated from her family due to the flood in her hometown, and she was the same age as Mu Yuqiao.
"Yes, it's called Tong Tong, I remember calling her that in the illusion. Mu Yuqiao's eyes lit up, and then he sighed, "If it's really her, she won't forgive me, I don't know how to face her." ”
If it weren't for Mu Yuqiao's recovery of his memory in the illusion created by the nightmare this time, he and Mu Tong might not be able to recognize each other when they were so close.
But Mu Tong will hate Mu Yuqiao after knowing the truth, after all, she is the one who is abandoned.
Cen Duxiao said to Mu Yuqiao before leaving: "I can bring her to see you, in her memory, it is not that her parents and family abandoned her, but that she was separated from you, as for whether to tell her the truth, you decide for yourself." ”
