Chapter 100 [Nightmare] Master Forgot Him
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Musi's emotions surged in his heart. He rushed forward and knocked down the group of thugs.
"How dare you bully people in the territory under the jurisdiction of Yinyou Valley in broad daylight?" Ye Musi helped the beaten little beggar up and said with a wave of his sleeves.
When the gang heard that they were from Yinyou Valley, they dispersed. They were not ignorant people. It was better not to provoke cultivators. If they cast a spell on themselves and attracted evil spirits, it would be bad.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Ye Musi turned to care for the little beggar he had just rescued. He used his sleeve to wipe the dust off the little beggar's face and found that although the little beggar was dirty, he looked quite good, especially his phoenix eyes.
"Are you okay?"
The little beggar was stunned. The person in front of him was so gentle and caring. It had been a long time since anyone had been so gentle to him. He shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Ye Musi stroked the little beggar's face and felt that the other person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
Who is it...
There was a shadow in his heart, which gradually disappeared. He seemed to have forgotten something very important. He covered his head, but could not remember it.
"A-Li..." He looked at the little beggar in front of him and subconsciously called out these two words that were familiar yet unfamiliar to him, "No... What's your name?"
The little beggar thought for a while before saying, "Lu Lishen."
Ye Musi pursed his lips. For some reason, his nose felt a little sore. Seeing the child in front of him, he inexplicably wanted to cry, as if something bad was about to happen.
Lu Lishen also felt that the person in front of him was very familiar. He seemed to have forgotten a very important person, a person who was more important than his life. He couldn't remember who it was.
He wanted to go home with the person in front of him and be with him.
"I...I'm homeless, can you take me in?"
"Okay." Ye Musi stood up, held back his tears, and decided not to cry in front of the child.
Ye Musi brought Lu Lishen back to Yinyou Valley in silence.
Ye Musi didn't know what was wrong with him, why he wanted to leave the valley, why he wanted to come out, and why he had no recollection of his previous memories.
He looked back at the road he came from, and felt that everything seemed unreal, but the scene before him was vivid and did not seem fake. He covered his chest, feeling empty, so he looked at Lu Lishen again and found that he was also looking at him.
"You're crying, and I want to cry too." Lu Lishen wiped his tears. He couldn't understand why he was suddenly beaten up. He seemed to be going somewhere with someone, and then he was beaten for no reason. He saw the people in front of him sad, and he felt sad too.
Ye Musi bent down and wiped away Lu Lishen's tears, "Don't cry."
This action last night, he suddenly became serious, which was inconsistent with his mood at the moment. He was being controlled.
He has thoughts but no control over his body or words.
He pulled Lu Lishen to the Elders' Hall.
"From now on, this child will enter Hidden Valley and become an outer disciple." Ye Musi released his hand and sat on the high seat, staring at Lu Lishen. Suddenly, he felt as if he had experienced this scene before. "Is there anything different?"
The Elder Hall did not care about Ye Musi's plan to get an outer disciple. Seeing that the child was still young and might have little access to the art of cultivation, it was just right for him to be an outer disciple and then enter the inner sect with his own ability.
After that, Ye Musi never saw Lu Lishen again. He gradually forgot what he had forgotten and lived a life that could not be more ordinary.
He basically stayed on the West Mountain, occasionally going down the mountain to watch his disciples practice their magic, or to visit the library, or to have a drink with Zhu Jianye.
A month passed like this, and the Elders' Hall suddenly asked him to take in a disciple. He didn't want to do that, as he had no experience in teaching disciples and was afraid that he would not be able to teach them well and that the disciple would pick up his bad habits.
However, the Elders' Hall pressed him step by step and even made arrangements for him, fearing that no one would worship him as a master.
Okay, Ye Musi compromised.
When the Valley Master accepts a disciple, he first looks at his qualifications.
In Yinyou Valley, there are outer disciples and inner disciples.
Outer disciples do not need to make any effort to be registered. They just need to register their name and place of origin. Those without a place of origin will be labeled as orphans. Their main job every day is to do odd jobs and occasionally practice sword skills together.
The inner disciples are selected from the outer disciples every year.
If the Valley Master and the elders want to recruit disciples, they will naturally give priority to inner disciples.
This year's selection competition has not yet been held. In order to avoid the possibility that there are talented people among the outer sect, the Valley Master will select disciples for both the inner and outer sects together.
After the inner sect disciples were tested, eleven disciples with outstanding talents were selected. However, when they arrived at the inner sect, their talents were always mediocre, and some were even rotten wood and mud.
It wasn't until Lu Lishen came on stage and detected his natural spiritual fetus that the atmosphere in the entire Elders' Hall suddenly changed.
Being born with a spiritual fetus is a rare gift, which means that not only his cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, but he is also more likely to reach the highest realm in the world of cultivation.
Ye Musi looked at Lu Lishen with a smile on his face. He liked the man in front of him very much. Not only was he born with a spiritual fetus, but he also had the best appearance among all the disciples.
"A natural born spirit fetus is a rare talent that only appears once in a century." An elder exclaimed, "Now that there are two natural born spirit fetuses in the valley, there is no need to worry about the lack of successors."
"In that case, you should become the Valley Master's disciple." He Ju said.
The elders in the Hall of Elders were talking to themselves, completely ignoring whether Ye Musi wanted to accept it or not.
However, Ye Musi had no reason to refuse. Lu Lishen was born with a spiritual fetus, so he must become his disciple. In addition, the other party had a good appearance and was brought back by himself, so there was no doubt about it.
He nodded, accepting the Elders' Hall's decision. "Lu Lishen, from today on, you are my disciple."
Ye Musi's voice echoed in the hall, and there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his words.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lishen's eyes, and he bowed deeply: "Disciple Lu Lishen, I pay my respects to Master."
After the ceremony in the Elders' Hall ended, Ye Musi disregarded etiquette and insisted on taking Lu Lishen back to Xishan to live together.
Logically speaking, even if he was the Valley Master's disciple, there was no reason for him to live with the Valley Master. But Lu Lishen was different. Lu Lishen was born with a spiritual fetus, so the Elder Hall agreed to Ye Musi's request.
Lu Lishen followed Ye Musi back to Xishan. As before, Ye Musi let him live opposite Ye Musi's door. The two rooms faced each other, with a stone road in between.
Yes, that's right, Lu Lishen has remembered everything. Although he can't figure out what exactly happened, fortunately he successfully met his master.
Here he really felt like he had returned to the past. He couldn't use any magic at all, and people were trying to stop him from seeing Ye Musi in various ways, as if it was all arranged.
"You can live here. My house is across the street. If you have anything, you can come to me directly." Ye Musi gently pinched the baby fat on both sides of Lu Lishen's cheeks. "Later, I will take you out to buy some things. If you like anything, don't hesitate to tell me."
Seeing Ye Musi like this, Lu Li Shen probably hadn't remembered the relationship between them.
“Master—” He was about to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn’t say them. He covered his throat and couldn’t make a sound.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Lu Lishen's eyes. He wanted to tell Ye Musi that they had fallen into a trap, but it seemed that some force was stopping him and preventing him from telling the truth.
He understood that they were still in a dream, not living in the past. This dream seemed to be a trap set for Ye Musi, but what was its purpose?
In the dream, there were only him and Ye Musi, no third person. He would not set a trap for his master, as this would harm his master.
No--
There is another person.
This was the person he really wanted to trap.
——Lu Limu.
This is a trap set by Lu Limu!
Seeing Lu Lishen suddenly fall silent, Ye Musi's face showed worry. He gently patted Lu Lishen's back, trying to comfort him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lu Li gritted his teeth. It seemed that he couldn't say it anymore. He could write, but suddenly he didn't know how to write in his mind. It seemed that he couldn't do anything now.
"It's okay. I'm so happy. From the first moment I saw Master, I liked you very much and felt that you were very kind. I never thought that I could become your disciple. I'm so happy that I don't know what to say for a moment." Lu Lishen explained.
Ye Musi smiled gently and touched his head, "Master, even when he saw you for the first time, felt that you were kind."
"Really?" Lu Lishen asked excitedly. If so, perhaps Ye Musi could recover his memory in a short time, and they could solve this mystery.
"So now, do you feel more intimate? Do I seem like a very important person to the Master?"
Lu Lishen guessed wrong. Ye Musi only had feelings for him at that time, but not anymore.
"He is kind, but he is an important person..." Ye Musi pondered for a moment on how to answer this question. He thought that Lu Lishen must have been wandering for many years, and now he suddenly became his disciple, so he must think of him as an important person. He couldn't let his little disciple be sad. "Of course, you are my first disciple, how can you not be important?"
After saying that, Ye Musi rubbed Lu Lishen's nose affectionately.
Hearing this, Lu Lishen felt a little disappointed. He didn't want an important disciple. Forget it...
This dream was like a rewind of time. He had nothing left, so naturally, his master's feelings for him were no longer as deep. He consoled himself by thinking that everything needed to be considered carefully.
Half a month passed.
Ye Musi was worried that Lu Lishen would not be able to adapt to life in Xishan, so he took the initiative to get close to him.
Ye Musi taught him everything, from big things like sword-fighting to small things like washing clothes.
Two figures, one big and one small, squatted beside the pool. In front of each of them was a wooden basin filled with their clothes.
Ye Musi looked at Lu Lishen rubbing the clothes absentmindedly, and evil thoughts came to his mind. He scooped a bowl of water and poured it on Lu Lishen.
Lu Lishen was frightened by the sudden water, but then he thought of a similar scene he had experienced before. At that time, he and Ye Musi were not familiar with each other, and he felt that Ye Musi was kind to him for ulterior motives. So when Ye Musi splashed water on him, he thought that Ye Musi accepted him as his apprentice just to raise a plaything and please himself, and did not treat him as a human being at all. He was very angry at that time. Why did everyone treat him like this?
So he immediately stood up, poured all the water in the basin on Ye Musi, and then left without looking back.
Thinking about it now, he really regrets it. How could he think of his master like that? He deserved to die. He was too defensive at that time.
