Chapter 273: Illusion
"Mother, I've been dreaming of this for too long. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info By now, it's time to wake up from the dream. ”
When he said this, Lu Yu finally couldn't control it, and he burst into tears, crying like a helpless child.
Originally, Lu Yu also wanted to leave the best impression in front of Xue Wanqiu as a parting gift. Tell Xue Wanqiu that she has grown up and can face all these problems independently.
But when it came to the end, Lu Yu still showed his weakest side.
Once, Lu Yu thought that crying had completely said goodbye to himself, and he was no longer qualified or right to cry.
Especially in the past few years in the Jiuxuan Palace, Lu Yu never thought that he would cry so embarrassed one day.
What exactly is this?
Seeing Lu Yu crying so sadly, Xue Wanqiu did not show a look of surprise, nor did she come up to comfort Lu Yu. Just sat opposite and looked at Lu Yu with a kind face.
"Have you already made a decision?"
Lu Yu nodded with difficulty.
"Now that you've made your decision, don't hesitate any longer and do what you want to do. ”
"But, mother. Lu Yu raised his head and looked at Xue Wanqiu, with a sad expression: "I can't bear you." ”
Xue Wanqiu smiled softly, stood up, walked to Lu Yu's side, wiped away the tears on Lu Yu's face with her bare hands, and then gently took Lu Yu into her arms.
"Silly boy, my mother has always been by your side and has never left you. ”
At this moment, Lu Yu finally took off the disguise he had been wearing on his body, fell into Xue Wanqiu's arms, and cried desperately.
All the pain, remorse, grievances, and hesitations were all vented at this moment.
And Xue Wanqiu gently hugged Lu Yu and let Lu Yu cry in the dark.
Xue Wanqiu didn't stop Lu Yu, let alone say nonsense like a man who has tears and doesn't flick to persuade Lu Yu.
Because Xue Wanqiu knew that this might be the only chance to make Lu Yu cry without any scruples.
How tired and bitter Lu Yu is, maybe only she knows.
So Xue Wanqiu just hugged Lu Yu like this and didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the crying in her arms gradually stopped and Lu Yu slowly calmed down that Xue Wanqiu spoke.
"Yu'er, are you feeling better now?"
"Mother, I really can't bear you. Lu Yu leaned on Xue Wanqiu's arms, greedily enjoying this last warmth: "This dream is really good. How many times have I wanted to stay here and never wake up, as if those were dreams and this is reality. ”
"For so many years, I have never dared to step into the Nine Xuan Palace, or even to touch the grass and trees of the Nine Xuan Palace, for fear of touching this truth and waking myself up, this is just a dream. ”
"But you knew from the beginning that it was just a dream. Xue Wanqiu said with a smile: "You didn't go to set foot in the Nine Xuan Palace, but you worked hard to establish this Tianyu Palace, didn't you just remind yourself that this is just a dream?"
Lu Yu laughed miserably and said self-deprecatingly: "I actually did such a contradictory thing, mother, am I stupid." ”
"Who said my feather was stupid, you're just too tired. Xue Wanqiu stroked Lu Yu's hair and said pityingly: "My Yu'er is just too tired and wants to rest." ”
"But this break has been too long, almost forty years. Lu Yu said: "I have been deceiving myself from the beginning, and I have trapped myself in this dream and dare not go out. Mother, I'm so cowardly to let you down. ”
"It's okay, my mother never blames you. And aren't you ready to go back now?"
"I have to go back now, I've been here for too long. If I don't go back, I'm really scared that I'll sink here forever and forget the most important thing. ”
Lu Yu opened his eyes suddenly, with a hateful look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I have to go back, and I still want to avenge you?"
Hearing the word "revenge" suddenly popping out of Lu Yu's mouth, Xue Wanqiu's eyes finally showed a sad look, and there was a touch of helplessness that could not be concealed.
"Idiot, idiot, you should know that my mother is the last thing I want to hear you say these two words. My mother just wants you to live well. ”
"Yes, I know, I know what you want to say. Lu Yu suddenly hugged Xue Wanqiu tightly, as if Xue Wanqiu was about to disappear completely in the next moment: "You are the embodiment of the deepest obsession in my heart, and I know all your thoughts in my heart." ”
"You have exhausted everything, but you have never dared to speak of greed, and everything you have done is for me. You have laid down your life and left this world in the most tragic way. Pay such a price, just so that I can live well. ”
"I know what your heart desires most, and I know what you want to see the most. But I'm destined to let you down. ”
Lu Yu hugged Xue Wanqiu tightly, buried his head deep in Xue Wanqiu's arms, and said in a choked voice.
"Mother, I am qualified to live in this world because of your sacrifice, who saved my life because of your sacrifice. The only way I can repay you is to avenge you. ”
Xue Wanqiu laughed miserably, her eyes were full of sadness, and the two lines of tears finally couldn't stop flowing.
"My son, do you know that the last thing my mother wants to see is the way you are now. ”
"I know, I know, I know everything. I know I've let you down. Lu Yu said apologetically: "But I have no other choice now." ”
"I hate them. I hate Jiuxuan Palace, I hate Yuyang Zhenren, I hate those who ambushed us halfway, they murdered your life. ”
"I even hated my father, hated why he didn't come to save us, hated him for watching you die, and for watching me suffer so much. ”
Lu Yu counted the people he hated, and what he said was gritting his teeth. But in the end, Lu Yu turned his words around and pointed the spearhead at himself.
"I hate everyone, but the most ruthless of all of them is myself. Mother, you died because of me, and I am the culprit who killed you. ”
Seeing that Lu Yu took all the blame on her head, Xue Wanqiu was sad and sad, and tears welled up.
This is definitely not the result that Xue Wanqiu wants, no parent in this world wants to see their children living with such pain.
Xue Wanqiu was heartbroken, but she was powerless to stop this. She was just an obsession in Lu Yu's heart, projected into Lu Yu's dream, and the real Xue Wanqiu had already died.
Lu Yu knew Xue Wanqiu's expectations, but what he couldn't break through was this hurdle in his heart.
No matter what, Lu Yu couldn't forgive himself for surviving by Xue Wanqiu's sacrifice.
Cherish your life, don't let Xue Wanqiu's sacrifice be in vain! Lu Yu himself can talk a lot about this kind of big truth. But if Lu Yu can't forgive himself, what's the use of such a big truth.
"Mother, I'm sorry. ”
Lu Yu didn't even dare to beg Xue Wanqiu's forgiveness, and in the end, everything turned into an apology.
And as Lu Yu said this apology, everything around him began to collapse without warning. The only bit of starlight in the sky was swallowed up by darkness in an instant.
Before Xue Wanqiu could say a word, she only left a string of tears of regret, and her figure began to become blurred, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dust in the sky and scattered with the wind.
The embrace that made him feel warm disappeared in front of him again, and Lu Yu curled himself up tremblingly, and a deep sadness and loneliness surrounded him again.
Until the end, Lu Yu didn't dare to look up at Xue Wanqiu again.
Will Xue Wanqiu be disappointed in herself? Maybe, maybe not. He is his only son, and Xue Wanqiu once said that she will never blame herself.
But will Xue Wanqiu feel sad and sad because of herself?
That's for sure. Because he is his only son, he will not let go of his concern even at the end of his life.
I am really an unworthy descendant, my mother had already broken her heart for herself before her death, and she even took her own life. Now that her mother is dead, she still can't be at peace, and she has to grieve and feel sad for herself.
Mother, Yu'er is sorry for you. I am no longer qualified to be your son in this life, so wait for the next life.
With Lu Yu's last terrible roar, this dream finally collapsed and disappeared, and a boundless darkness completely swallowed Lu Yu.
Just when Lu Yu was tearfully saying goodbye to Xue Wanqiu in his dream, on the other side, in the main peak hall of Muxuan Palace, Xuanmu Zhenren was sitting there, frowning, looking at a curtain of light in front of him.
In the light curtain, Lu Yu slept on a grass, unconscious. His face was covered with tears, and his expression was constantly changing, as if he was suffering from this in his sleep.
"Lu Yu has been asleep for more than a day, and there is no sign of waking up until now, it seems that his obsession is very heavy. ”
Next to Xuanmu Zhenren, Yu Qian looked at the scene in front of her, also frowned, and said with a sigh.
And looking at Lu Yu's expression, he must have experienced something extraordinary in the illusion. ”
While speaking, Yu Qian secretly glanced at Xuanmu Zhenren and found that Xuanmu Zhenren's brows were furrowed even more.
A trace of worry flashed in Xuanmu Zhenren's eyes, and he spoke: "According to what Lu Yu said, he used to be a disciple of the Ten Thousand Witch Valley Blood Demon Hall, and he must have some unbearable memories. The environment created by this secret realm of the heart is to penetrate the depths of a person's soul when his mind is at its most relaxed, copy his memory, and then sketch it according to his inner obsession. Lu Yu is in it, which is equivalent to experiencing the pain of the past again, and it is more profound than before. It is normal for such changes to occur. ”
Yu Qian looked at Lu Yu, who had no signs of waking up, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Husband, should we wake up Lu Yu." ”
"This won't work. Xuanmu Zhenren rejected Yu Qian's suggestion in one bite: "This time the Heart Dust Secret Realm was opened by me specifically for Lu Yu, and we must rely on Lu Yu's own strength to get out of the illusion realm, and we can't interfere." ”
"But so much time has passed. What if Lu Yu is immersed in the illusion and can't extricate himself?"
Yu Qian expressed her worries, and looked at Xuanmu Zhenren with burning eyes.
Such things are not for nothing. This illusion realm is the last level of the heart dust secret realm to cleanse itself, and it is also the most difficult one. I don't know how many people have been planted in this illusion.
Not to mention young people like Lu Yu, they are those monks who have practiced for hundreds or thousands of years, and they have cultivated to the heavens and the earth, and they have already seen through the red dust of the world. But once they encounter the invasion of demons and distractions and come to this secret realm, some of them also can't escape the illusion and are trapped in it.
Therefore, Yu Qian's worries are not groundless and self-speculating.
In fact, this is also the level that Genmu Zhenren is most worried about.
Once Lu Yu can't pass this level, Lu Yu will not only be unable to break the obsession in his heart, but he may also be entangled deeper and deeper by the demonic barrier, and finally embark on the evil path.
Xuanmu Zhenren specially opened the secret realm of heart dust for Lu Yu this time and lured Lu Yu to go, but it was not to help Lu Yu comprehend the Five Elements Dao. On the contrary, Xuanmu Zhenren wanted Lu Yu to temporarily give up the Five Elements Dao and return to his original self.
This time, Lu Yu went with Xu Liu to select the martial arts, and Xuanmu Zhenren immediately discovered Lu Yu's problem.
For some reason, Lu Yu seemed to be too obsessed with this sect competition and was too eager to improve his strength.
The three martial arts selected by Lu Yu are all quick-formed, which can improve Lu Yu's strength in the shortest possible time.
Especially that blood transformation technique, relying on forcibly absorbing demon blood to deplete itself to improve its strength, this is simply a crooked way, and it is completely a demon martial art.
And Lu Yu actually took a fancy to it at a glance.
This shows that Lu Yu's heart is already urgent, and in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, he will not hesitate to pay any price.
On the road to cultivating truth, the most taboo thing is to be impetuous and impatient. Once the mood is unstable, the demons may take advantage of the weakness.
Looking at Lu Yu's appearance, he was already walking on the edge of this cliff. If it goes on like this, Lu Yu will sooner or later be dragged back into the demon path by this obsession.
Lu Yu's recultivation of the magic skill and the evil aura that could not be concealed are the best proof of this.
Xuanmu Zhenren, who discovered this, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to open the Heart Dust Secret Realm for Lu Yu, in order to help Lu Yu get rid of the magic barrier, regain his original self, and return to the right path through the power of the Heart Dust Secret Realm.
The comprehension of the Five Elements Avenue is by no means an overnight thing, it requires Lu Yu to calm down and take his time, Lu Yu is in a hurry and will make a mistake. As for the obsession on Lu Yu's body, he also needs correct guidance.
After Lu Yu came to the Heart Dust Secret Realm, the previous situation made Xuanmu Zhenren more satisfied. Under the attraction of the secret realm of heart dust, Lu Yu temporarily forgot everything, and even the evil qi on his body gradually disappeared.
But what happened next made Genmu Zhenren frown and sigh secretly.
