Chapter 44 (The apprentice actually likes her!... )
Gu Chaochao opened her eyes again, and was already in a wing room. She took a closer look at the wing room that looked like a small town restaurant, and then looked across from a man with a familiar face. She was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this was what she was looking for during the lantern festival. The male cultivator... How come there is still him in Shen Mushen's illusion?
Before she could understand it, she noticed a strong will to die from the courtyard, and she immediately rushed out.
The moment she opened the door and saw the scene in the courtyard, her heart almost stopped beating, and the next moment she slapped his wrist with a palm. Shen Mu snorted in pain, the dagger in his hand fell, and a small wound appeared on the Adam's apple.
"What are you doing?!" Gu Chaochao couldn't help but get angry even though he knew that the illusion had affected his mind and made him think of committing suicide.
Shen Mushen drank too much wine, her mind was a little stiff at this moment, she raised her head dully when she heard the words, and the moment she met her eyes, her eyes suddenly became faintly red: "Master..."
This sentence seems to have been separated by thousands of years. An indescribable grievance.
Gu Chaochao's anger disappeared for the most part, and he walked up to him with a frown, "Why can't you think about it?"
"It doesn't make sense." He raised his lips, but his brows were dark.
Gu Chaochao raised his hand and touched his forehead: "Why is it meaningless?"
"This illusion," Shen Mu lowered his eyes, "it is meaningless."
Gu Chaochao: "?"
Gu Chaochao: "!!!"
Why! Why does he know that he is in an illusion? ! Why did he fail to break through after knowing that he was in an illusion, and instead committed suicide in the illusion? ! Gu Chaochao's eyes widened in shock, not knowing what to say for a while.
When Shen Mushen raised her head, she clearly saw the surprise in her eyes, and whispered unconsciously in her mouth: "Illusion is born in the heart, you are an illusion, and you are also the master in my heart... It turns out that the master is in my heart, more than me. What I think is even more real, and even the slightest expression is not different from the original body."
Gu Chaochao: "..." I thank you, I am your master, dear.
However, since she is an intruder, rashly revealing her identity may cause the illusion to collapse, and both their master and apprentice may not be able to escape, so she chooses to remain silent.
However, the silence lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and when he picked up the dagger again, she still broke the silence: "Why did you kill yourself before you told me."
Shen Mu was silent.
"Did I treat you badly?" Gu Chaochao asked again.
As soon as the words fell, the young man who had been waiting in the room suddenly came out and said to her gently: "Chaochao, it's getting late, we should rest."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
Shen Mushen's illusion There were no swords, lights, swords and shadows, and there was no danger, but it still made her puzzled. She was about to ask carefully, when a spiritual force swept across, the young man's face twisted for a moment, and then turned into a puff of smoke, as if it had never appeared before.
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a long time, then looked down at Shen Mushen: "Your spiritual roots have recovered?"
"Master forgot? It was already recovered when he came out of the secret realm three years ago." Shen Mushen stared at her, trying to get rid of her Find a strange emotion on your face.
Fortunately, she did not resent him because of the youth's death.
That's good, even in a fantasy, he didn't want her to hate him.
Shen Mu smiled bitterly, thinking of something, and then added, "No, or I've recovered since I stepped into the illusion."
Hearing him mention the illusion again, Gu Chaochao finally couldn't help asking: "When are you? Do you know that you are in an illusion?"
"When you enter the illusion, you already know." In the real world, when he crossed the red line and did not respond, the master would wonder why he was not confused by the illusion, instead of looking as usual He left, puzzled until he asked it out himself.
After hearing his words, Gu Chaochao opened his mouth speechlessly, and after a while he said, "Since I already knew it, why didn't you go out?" After breaking free, he stayed in the fantasy realm for three years, and he could only say that he did not want to leave.
Why don't you want to go? As soon as Gu Chaochao had a little doubt, he explained it himself: "Because I thought that at least I would have more courage in the illusion."
Gu Chaochao didn't quite understand what he meant.
Maybe it was because he drank too much wine and his mind was a little cloudy, or maybe the Gu Chaochao in front of him was too real, so real that it was no different from the master in reality. as a fantasy.
"I thought... at least in the fantasy world, dare to tell you personally," Shen Mushen said with extreme difficulty, "Dare to tell you, Master, I am happy with you, since the first time I saw you, you descended from the sky. , the veil caressed the forehead, it will please you..."
His vague words seemed like a thunderstorm exploded in his mind, Gu Chaochao's thoughts were instantly blown into rubble, her mind was blank, and she stood there as if she had lost her soul.
"I know that you only have the love of master and apprentice for me, and I know that I would never dare to say this to you in this life, so after entering the illusion, I thought I could create a beautiful dream for myself," Shen Mu's deep eyes were flushed, and her voice A little trembling, "But I still don't dare..."
He never thought that he would have such a cowardly day, knowing that the person in front of him was only transformed by his own mood, knowing that he had done things and said after he left here. Neither would have any impact on the master-disciple friendship, but he still didn't dare, not even a word.
Gu Chaochao stared at him blankly, his lips opened unconsciously, and after a long time he took a step back suddenly: "Why, how could it be, you never said..."
Shen Mu smiled bitterly, and she couldn't say anything else. .
The yard was quiet except for the rustling of the wind blowing through the small trees in the corner.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Mushen's expression gradually faded, and the whole person showed a sense of depression after calm.
"Since I don't dare to do anything, it's pointless for me to stay in the illusion," he could clearly hear his own voice, showing a tired determination, "so I'm leaving." After
that, he clenched his hands The dagger stabbed himself in the throat again.
Gu Chaochao was already prepared, and immediately grabbed his wrist when he saw it.
"You can't trap me." Shen Mu was expressionless.
Gu Chaochao took a deep breath: "I didn't want to trap you, I just wanted to tell you that suicide won't let you leave the illusion, but it will make you die here and never get out."
Shen Mushen's eyes moved slightly, then immediately He regained his composure: "Do you think I would believe you?"
"Your knot has not disappeared," Gu Chaochao's eyes were complicated. After a long pause, he had the courage to say the next sentence, "And I am your knot."
Shen Mu Deeply startled, Gu Chaochao took the dagger from his hand while he was distracted.
After listening to him talk a lot, she has gradually understood why he ended the illusion by committing suicide -
"I was in the room with that person just now... Do you want to cultivate?"
Shen Mu was silent.
Sure enough... Gu Chaochao sighed deeply: "I thank you, co-authoring it in your head, I'm just such an idiot?"
Her tone seemed to be more vivid, and Shen Mushen looked at her one more time: "Illusion again Is it aggravating?"
Gu Chaochao didn't understand what he meant, but his intuition was not good: "I don't like that person, and I don't plan to cultivate with him. As for you... I have to think about it.
" He was born, so what Shen Mushen said at this moment was what he was thinking... Gu Chaochao couldn't imagine that the little apprentice who had been by his side for five years had such thoughts about him.
She needs a good digestion.
"To destroy the illusion, you can only rely on will, suicide is useless at all," Gu Chaochao said, seeing that he didn't take it seriously, after a while, he stretched out his finger and directly touched his heart, "My appearance It has nothing to do with the Five Poisons Illusion Realm, it has nothing to do with you, so every word is what you think in your heart, don't always doubt me."
Shen Mu was taken aback for a while, and when he looked at her again, he finally became more serious.
Seeing his obedient appearance, Gu Chaochao wanted to rub his head, but he just stretched out his hand halfway, and suddenly remembered his thoughts about himself, so he pretended to take it back: "It's getting late, we Let's go back to Huanzong first."
Shen Mu looked at her retracted hand, lowered his eyes for a long time, and responded in a low voice.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Chaochao appeared on his bed.
Although it's just a mattress in a fantasy world, it seems that there is no difference between lying down and real life, but unfortunately, her mind is full of Shen Mu's deep red eyes, and she doesn't feel sleepy for a while.
Until the second half of the night, she still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly got up and wanted to fly around in the mountains and forests to relax.
However, the mountain forest after Shen Mu's deep sleep was just a piece of nothingness. And this piece of gray, which seems to be moving, is slowly devouring everything around it at this moment.
Gu Chaochao looked at the endless ashes in front of him, and finally calmed down—
the most important thing now is not the relationship of the little apprentice, but how to get out of the illusion.
Although Shen Mushen's illusion is not dangerous, it does not mean that you can stay here indefinitely. The time in the illusion is different from that in reality. One hour outside, he has been here for three years, and he has not noticed it himself. During these three years, his mentality has undergone subtle changes.
If it were him in reality, and seeing her looking for someone to repair her, she would only stop it with a smile on her face, but if she couldn't stop it, she would accept it after she was uncomfortable, instead of directly using a dagger to end her life.
If he stays here again, his self-destructive mood will become heavier and heavier, and his will to break through the illusion will no longer be firm. When the will completely dissipates, they will be completely swallowed by gray like the scene in front of them.
And he knew that this was an illusion, but he still couldn't break it... Nine times out of ten, it was because his wish was not fulfilled.
Gu Chaochao took a deep breath and had a solution in his heart.
Although she had an idea, she was reluctant to use it until the last step, so in the next few days, she racked her brains and used all methods to make him have the consciousness to take the initiative to break through the illusion, but all actions failed. .
Seeing that his mood was getting lower and lower, and his sleeping Acacia sect was covered by more and more gray, Gu Chaochao finally made up his mind -
she wanted to fall in love with her apprentice in the illusion.
