C13 Illusion and Reality
"You're giving up just like that?!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the bottom of his heart. It was like a heavenly thunder, causing Guxing's body to tremble and regain some clarity in an instant.
The voice was loud and powerful, and it had a strong penetrating power. In this boundless darkness, It was like a huge bell. It buzzed in Guxing's ears, and he could only hear it coming one after another.
"You are still young, yet you are so willing to die?"
Guxing felt that there was a voice constantly asking him. He answered in a muddleheaded manner, "I should not have been alive. I will only cause trouble for others if I am alive. "
"Trouble?"
The voice immediately snorted coldly. "A mere trouble can offset the debt you owe?"
"How many lives did you use to exchange for your life? Have you forgotten?"
Although the voice was cold and emotionless, it made Guxing feel a sense of righteousness in the darkness, making him want to speak.
"I am a disaster. I killed them and grandfather. There is no reason for me to live. If I live, I will only kill more people. "
His words were full of bitterness. Even in this state, he still could not forget the pain.
"So you chose to give up on this world, right?"
"I am a person who deserves to die, so I can only give up. "
"Could it be that this world no longer has a single bit of beauty that you can't bear to part with?"
"Yes"
Guxing responded. He seemed to only have the instinct to answer questions.
"Then, including her, right?"
"She? Who is she. . . " Guxing hesitated.
"Have you forgotten who she is? You once swore to protect her well. "
"I. . . I. . . Don't know. "
"She is the closest person to you in this world, don't you remember?"
That voice seemed to want to reveal something, and it was trying to tempt Guxing to recall something bit by bit.
"Relatives? Relatives? Relatives? " Guxing seemed to have some impression of them. He began to try to recall them.
"En, your family members are suffering because you don't struggle and abandon yourself. "
"She. . . Is she? Is it her?" Guxing vaguely saw a familiar shadow.
"Who is she?" The voice asked again.
"She is?" Guxing felt a very familiar figure standing in front of him, but he couldn't remember it for the time being.
"She is the person I am waiting for. "
Gradually, Guxing saw a figure in front of him becoming clearer and clearer.
"Who are you waiting for?"
"I am waiting. . . For. . . Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue. . . Sister!" Guxing finally remembered. That person was the one he had been waiting for, Ms Yue.
"It's Ms Yue. What happened to her?" Guxing suddenly remembered and asked in a hurry.
The voice finally had some anger, "She? She felt guilty, guilty, and sad because of your carelessness. Perhaps she will live in guilt for the rest of her life, and she won't be able to free herself from it. "
"AH!"
Guxing cried out in shock. Suddenly, he saw a young man lying on the ground outside, as if it was him. The girl next to him was Ms Yue. She was sitting on the ground, paralyzed, and in extreme pain.
"Ms Yue!"
Guxing panicked. He kept shouting Xiao Yue's name. He wanted to tell him that he was fine, but it was useless. No matter how loud he shouted, Xiao Yue could not hear him.
"I can't die, I want to live. "
He shouted at the direction of the voice, "I want to live, tell me, what should I do?"
"Why? Didn't you give up?"
"I did before, but now it's different. I can't die, absolutely not. "
Guxing finally understood that he wasn't living for a single person. There were still people waiting for him.
"For her? Is she that important to you?" That voice seemed to have some fluctuations and was no longer as cold.
"Important, very important!" Guxing shouted at that voice with all his might.
"How important?"
"She, she is my God. " Guxing said in a daze. His words sounded very powerful at this moment.
That voice seemed to be shocked. After a long time, a long sigh was heard. "If that's the case, then protect her well. Remember what you said today. No matter what happens again, don't die so easily. Being able to live is already quite difficult, so don't give up on yourself. "
"I'll remember that. Thank you for your teachings, senior. But how do I get out?" After Guxing expressed his thanks, he found that he still couldn't leave.
"The image is born from the heart. Everything is just an illusion of yours. Use your mind to shatter it. "
The voice was getting further and further away, as if it was getting further and further away.
"Mind? What should I do? Senior? Senior?" Guxing wanted to ask more, but the voice never came again.
"Everything is just an illusion? Doesn't that mean I am in a dream? Damn it, how am I going to wake up?"
Thinking of how Xiao Yue was still sad for him, Guxing was so anxious that his scalp almost broke.
"Break it up? Use your mind? Will? " Guxing repeated the words that the voice had said before and suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be? Alright, if that's the case. . . "
"I want to wake up, I want to wake up!"
In an instant, a huge mirror made of countless images appeared in front of Guxing's eyes.
"Now, break it for me!"
Following Guxing's shout, everything in front of him shattered like glass. Guxing opened his eyes subconsciously and found Xiaoyue looking at him in shock.
"Xiao Yue. . . " Before he could say the word sister, Xiao Yue hugged him tightly.
"Strange, Ms Yue is clearly a Spiritual Body, but why does it feel so real?" Guxing thought in surprise. He seemed to feel that Xiao Yue was hugging him very tightly, and he seemed to feel a trace of warmth.
However, Xiaoyue did not have the slightest intention of letting go. Just now, she almost buried Guxing with her own hands. This feeling of surviving a disaster flooded her. She could not help but hold Guxing's shoulder and sob softly. Guxing seemed to feel that Xiaoyue's body was trembling non-stop. At that moment, he almost thought that Xiaoyue was real and no longer illusory.
After a long time, Xiao Yue stopped crying. Her red eyes stared at Guxing without blinking. Guxing felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Just when he was about to speak, suddenly, "Ouch!" Guxing felt the sky and earth turn dark on his forehead.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Hit you?"
Xiao Yue was so angry that she froze. Liu Mei said, "If I touch you, I'll teach you a lesson. Don't you want to die? Grandaunt, I'll help you! "
Xiao Yue was so angry that she didn't care about her image anymore. She shouted and rushed forward with her sword. Guxing felt that the sky was filled with sword shadows, and his figure suddenly moved. He wanted to dodge, but how could he be faster than Xiao Yue? Xiao Yue sneered and appeared in front of Guxing like a ghost. With a dull sound, Guxing rammed into him. He was confused.
"Humph, humph, you probably forgot who taught you this, right? You still dare to hide!"
Xiao Yue's hands were still beating, and she was still cursing non-stop, "Stinking brat, I told you to dodge, I told you to seek death, didn't I want to die? What are you hiding for? "
This was the first time Guxing had seen such a crazy Ms Yue, and he couldn't react in time. He actually forgot to dodge and stood there stupidly to take a beating.
When Xiaoyue was tired and had no strength left, she felt a little heartache and said, "Why didn't you dodge?"
"I'm not dodging. If I dodge, you'll get angry. " Guxing said in a daze.
When Xiaoyue heard this, her whole body trembled. She tried to reach out her hands to touch the young man's head. "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't. " Guxing said with a silly smile.
"Nonsense, it's already swollen like this. It still doesn't hurt. " Xiao Yue's nose turned sour, and when she saw that tears were about to fall, she hurriedly turned around.
"Do you know how sad I would be if you died just like that?" Xiao Yue turned around and sighed lightly, causing Guxing to panic.
"I. . . "
"You are a fool, you bastard. If you die, then so be it. I don't care about girls!" Xiao Yue said angrily, but there was a sobbing tone in her voice.
"Ms Yue, I was wrong. "
Guxing lowered his head, his face full of sincerity.
"You are the Sword Master, and I am the Sword Slave. You have no reason to apologize to me. " Xiao Yue choked a few times, her tone was indescribably cold.
"I. . . "
Guxing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He suddenly heard Xiao Yue say, "Do you know why I only taught you the heart technique, but not the moves?"
Guxing shook his head and said, "I don't know. "
Xiao Yue controlled her emotions slightly and said, "That's because even though there are thousands of moves in this world, there is only one eternal truth. That is the eternal truth. "
"The reason why I don't teach you moves is to let you understand that martial arts focuses on meaning and not changes in form. "
"Will?" Guxing asked.
"This will is not the same. What I mean is the will, the process, and your understanding of this footwork. "
"If you don't understand this footwork at all, what's the point of teaching you any more moves? After all, it's just a piece of paper. It's hard to know the depth of it"
"The moves are created by people, ask yourself. Why can other people create it, but I can't? Why can I only follow the path that other people walk in my life, even if I can walk to the end. But is that my path? No, that is someone else's. So I didn't teach you any moves because I wanted you to comprehend it yourself. That way, you wouldn't be stuck in other people's moves, walking your own path through fabrication. "
Xiao Yue's words were like sweet dew that poured into Guxing's heart. He greedily sucked like a seed.
"Ms Yue, I know what to do. Don't worry!"
Guxing clenched his fists and said firmly. "One day, I will walk my own path. I will never lose to anyone. "
"It's good that you understand. "
Xiao Yue smiled happily. "I said so much just to plant a belief in your heart. With it, I believe that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can fearlessly charge forward. But before that, I advise you to follow the path of your predecessors. This is the prerequisite. "
"I will. " Guxing nodded.
"In the end, remember, the moves are dead, the people are alive, and there are no moves that are the most powerful. There are only the most suitable moves. You are a smart person, so don't disappoint me again. "
