312 Inner Demon 5
The lights were lit in the room, and the sound of practicing swordsmanship came from the dojo next door.
Yu Shiqi woke up with a faint pain in the back of his neck, his eyes empty and confused. After sitting for a while, he stood up and got out of bed, took a look at the bladeless sword Qiuye placed on the table in the room, and his expression became a little strange.
Carefully touching Qiuye's blade with his fingers, Yu Shiqi opened his mouth and sighed in disbelief.
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly came from outside the room, and Liu Yike's shadow appeared on the door: "Yu Yanzhi, are you awake?"
Facing Liu Yike pushing the door in, his first reaction was to pick up the bladeless sword on the table and put on a self-defense posture, with a sense of alertness in his eyes.
Liu Yike felt hesitant when he saw this scene, and stood at the door without continuing to move forward. Her eyes fell on Yu Shiqi's right hand holding the sword, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes - his posture of holding the sword seemed to have become different from before.
"Yu Yanzhi?" Liu Yike called his name in a tentative tone, "Do you still recognize me?"
Yu Shiqi, who was holding the sword, was stunned for a moment, shook his head in confusion: "Your Excellency... who is?"
Liu Yike took a deep breath, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she asked again: "Do you know where this place is?"
Yu Shiqi slowly retreated to the window, looked out through the half-open window, and then stared at Liu Yike silently.
Liu Yike's mood suddenly turned sharply. After sighing, he used as calm as possible to comfort the young man in front of him who was obviously in a stressed state: "I don't know how long you have lost your memory, but don't be too nervous, there will always be a solution. Now... come again, I am Liu Yike, do you have any impression of this name?"
"Liu...Yike...are you the sword saint Liu Yike?" Yu Shiqi opened his eyes wide and was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. He looked down at Qiuye in his hand and said, "The Bladeless Sword... The rumors are true. Senior really uses this strange sword... Wait! Is this the Liu Sword Sect? What does losing memory mean? Senior is saying that I lost memory?"
Liu Yike shook his head helplessly, and didn't know where to start for a moment, so he could only tell him first: "This is Wuyue, the Taichangli Temple of the Heavenly Literature that belongs to the branch of the Liu Family Sword Sect. I am currently the acting master here."
"Wuyue... Why am I here?"
"Then do you remember where you were before?" Liu Yike asked carefully.
"Before..." Yu Shiqi tried to recall, but soon raised his hand and held his forehead and showed a look of pain. "I... I should have been in the same Fengmen. It's just... I was just lazy while practicing martial arts, so I hid in the back mountain and slept."
"After a sleep?"
"Yeah." He put a little bit of his wariness about Liu Yike. Although he was still holding the sword, his whole body was no longer in a state of tense muscles.
Although Liu Yike was anxious, he still tried hard to maintain the calmness and gentleness on the surface, and encouraged him to continue talking with his eyes.
"I seem to have had a very long dream." Yu Shiqi said embarrassedly.
"What kind of dream is it? Can you still remember it?"
He hesitated for a moment and began to recall intermittently: "I met many people in my dreams... I seemed to have fought with many people... I went to a very far place... I was strange, I couldn't remember it. It was obvious that I dreamed very real, as if I had experienced it myself, but the harder I tried, the more I thought about it, the more blurred it..."
Seeing that his expression was getting more and more painful, Liu Yike hurriedly reached out to stop him and said, "Stop if you feel uncomfortable! Be careful, don't get into the trap again."
"I'm so obsessed with the infatuation... Are you talking about me at the senior?" Yu Shiqi pointed at himself in disbelief.
"No, it's nothing, don't think too much." Liu Yike avoided his gaze and whispered: "You can use this room as you like. Let's have a good rest first. I'll bring you some food."
"Wait a minute, senior..." Yu Shiqi called out Liu Yike who turned around and wanted to leave, turned the bladeless sword Qiuye in his hand, and handed over the hilt of the sword, "This is senior's sword, I was nervous just now..."
"This used to be my sword, but it has been given to you." Liu Yike smiled faintly, "You seem to have forgotten some important things. It doesn't matter, I will tell you slowly in a while."
Yu Shiqi stood there blankly, waiting for Liu Yike to leave for a long time before he came to his senses and looked down at the bladeless sword in his hand. He was puzzled in his heart - it was obviously the first time he had seen such a strange sword, why did Liu Yike say he had given it to him? Did he really lose a memory?
Sitting cross-legged along the edge of the bed, he placed his sword across his legs, trying to recall the dream he had before. This time part of the dream became slightly clearer, but those who met still had blurred faces.
In a trance, he seemed to see himself walking into the belly of Chongshan and seeing the hot spring bathed in the moonlight. A beautiful figure that made people's blood rush out like a terrifying geese broke through the water.
"So beautiful..." he couldn't help but murmur.
Strangely, I could not see the woman's face clearly in my dream, so why did I think she was beautiful?
Forget it, dreams are originally mysterious and unspeakable. He shook his head and gradually recalled that since the encounter by the hot spring, he seemed to have had many stories with that beautiful woman...
Yu Shiqi fell deeper and deeper in his thoughts, and he didn't realize that Liu Yike had already returned to the room with the food. At this moment, he was standing by the table and looking at him with a worried look.
"Maybe there is something you should know. After you fainted... you have said someone's name." Liu Yike's hand on the table gently rubbed the tabletop and said hesitantly: "Can you still remember who Yue'er is?"
Yu Shiqi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, shook his body when he heard this, slowly looked up at Liu Yike, and tears burst out from his eyes uncontrollably.
The sadness and sadness intertwined in my heart, but I couldn't tell the reason. Yu Shiqi kept wiping his eyes with the back of his hands, but tears still burst out from his eyes.
"Yue'er...Who is Yue'er? Strange...so familiar...but I just can't remember..." After struggling in vain for a long time, he finally gave up and continued to wipe his tears. He lowered his hands and cried to obey his instinct.
When Liu Yike saw his appearance, he turned his back with heartache, and didn't know what to do for a moment. She originally wanted to wait for Yu Shiqi to eat before sorting out what she knew with him and help him recall his true self in this way, but now she seems to have little hope.
If this continues, even he will be lost in this world and will never be able to go back.
Liu Yike gritted his silver teeth, and his tightly clenched fingernails fell into his palms.
A thought that scared her suddenly flashed through her mind - Yu Shiqi was the only person in the world who knew his secret. Now that he had lost his memory, no one knew the fact that they did not belong to this world.
Then as long as she forgets about that world again, she can return to her originally peaceful life and spend the rest of her life safely in this world where all the tragedies have not yet begun.
Liu Yike's face turned pale. She hurried to the door and held the wall to breathe, sweat slid down her cheeks.
Could it be that even Yu Shiqi will become like this? It is also his own inner demon at work?
