A demonic thought suddenly emerged deep in Mu Yu's heart, like a black hole, constantly devouring his consciousness.
This is the inner demon, condensed from the murderous thoughts and fears deep in Mu Yu's heart.
Mu Yu's heart trembled. This scene made him feel like he had returned to that desperate night. That sudden disaster, that warm mansion in the past, the bloody Chen family, and his wife Chen Xi who fell in his arms and gave him endless warmth and love.
The picture in front of him was like an old black-and-white movie, every detail was so clear, yet so painful. He saw Chen Xi wearing his favorite blue dress. Her star-like eyes were full of fear and confusion. Her hands were still holding the bloody sword tightly, and the tip of the sword was dripping with blood. It is the last light of the Chen family.
Behind Chen Xi was the door that had been knocked open, and outside was the boundless night. The demon named Yu Yang was wearing a black cloak, and the sneer on his lips was mixed with cruelty and pride. His eyes were vicious and cold, like a hunter looking at his prey that was unable to struggle. There was a cold light shining in his hands. It was the blood of the Chen family, which was the evidence of his guilt.
Mu Yu's heart was filled with anger and pain, his hands clenched into fists, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was his inner demon. He knew he had to overcome this inner demon before he could move on. Because he couldn't let Chen Xi's sacrifice go to waste, and he couldn't let the Chen family's blood flow in vain.
He took a deep breath and slowly relaxed. He closed his eyes, but the image still lingered. He knew that this was his inner struggle, the pain he needed to face. He can't escape, he can't give up.
Then, suddenly, he opened his eyes, determination shining in them. He whispered to the scene in his mind: "I will avenge you, and I will let you rest in peace." Although his voice was low, it was full of power. It was his respect for the past and determination for the future.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing. Although the image still lingered in his mind, he no longer escaped, but chose to face it. He knew that only in this way could he truly transcend himself and truly break through this death realm.
His breathing gradually became deeper and smoother, and his heartbeat began to synchronize. He began to calm down and his thoughts began to clear. He began to observe this lingering image and began to understand the meaning of this inner demon.
This inner demon is not asking him to escape, but to understand his pain and accept his anger. Then use it as strength to drive yourself forward. Instead of being trapped by pain, use it to make yourself stronger.
Suddenly, Chen Xi in the picture moved. She smiled at him, and that smile was as heart-warming as the spring breeze. Her eyes were full of comfort and encouragement, as if she were saying to him: "Mu Yu, you have done a good job, you have to keep going."
Mu Yu felt excited in his heart, and he felt a power that he had never felt before emerge from deep inside his heart. He knew that it was the courage and perseverance he had extracted from pain.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the lingering image had faded a lot. His mood also became clear. He knew he had found a way to face his inner demon.
The time has come to break through the realm of death. A thought flashed through his mind, and the spiritual energy around him gathered instantly. A strong light burst out from his body, which was the power to break free from his inner demons.
Mu Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and everything seemed to be back to where it started. He was still lying next to Chen Xi, their son was sleeping soundly beside him, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law were also sleeping peacefully in another room. He tried to move his body, but found that he was still the ordinary Mu Yu, without the slightest spiritual energy surrounding him, without any powerful cultivation, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.
He closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. Is all this really an illusion created by inner demons? He didn't want to believe it. He could not accept the departure of Chen Xi and his family, nor could he accept his own powerlessness. He couldn't help but shed tears and sighed softly, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
He walked out of the room, looked at the warm sunshine and busy daily scenes, and felt as if he had been pulled into a wonderful fantasy. He saw Chen Xi busy in the kitchen, with two children surrounding her, their laughter and cheers making the scene more vivid.
Mu Yu approached them, and Chen Xi raised his head and gave him a warm smile. "You're awake, Mu Yu." she said, "How do you feel?" Her eyes were full of care and love, which made him feel both happy and confused.
However, when he opened his eyes again, he saw Chen Xi looking at him with a smile in the early morning sunshine. He saw his son playing nearby, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law chatting in the living room. He looked at all this, but his heart was full of doubts. is this real? He pinched himself and felt the pain, it was real pain. He couldn't help but wonder, was this an illusion?
But when he had breakfast with his family, laughed and talked with them, and when he held Chen Xi's hand and walked on the streets of the town, he began to believe that it was all true. They were happy, his family was still alive, and he was a normal husband, father, and son.
However, every time in the dead of night, he would think of those adventures, those powerful enemies, and those days of fighting to protect his family. Those memories were like dreams, making it impossible for him to distinguish between reality and dreams. He didn't know if all this was real or just his imagination.
He looked at her familiar and kind face and suddenly realized that he had returned to reality. He has broken through the illusion of his inner demons and returned to his family. He looked at them and felt a happiness and contentment he had never experienced before. Although it all seemed like a dream, he knew that this was his real life. His wife, children, father-in-law and grandfather were all still alive, and their family lived happily.
Mu Yu smiled, his first real smile in a long time. He felt inner joy and contentment filling his soul. He looked at Chen Xi, then at the two lively and lovely children, and then at the kind and amiable father-in-law and grandpa. They were all smiling at him, welcoming him back into their wonderful family.
Although Mu Yu was confused and surprised by what happened before, he knew that none of that was important anymore. He has escaped from death and returned to the real world. He has found his family and his happiness.
However, he didn't care. Because he found that even if it was all false, he was still willing to immerse himself in this illusion, because this illusion brought him endless happiness. He looked at Chen Xi and his family, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. No matter what the reality is, he is grateful to this fantasy because it allows him to experience ordinary happiness and the joy of being an ordinary person.
