Ah Shi stared blankly at the few tear spots on the tatami under Yu Qiuping - those were the traces of tears dripping on the tatami.
"What happened?" Yu Qiuping was frightened by Ah Shi's appearance. He had just entered that scene again, and when he turned around and was dazzled by the fire, he woke up and saw this.
"Brother Hongye... your body suddenly became very illusory, like a phantom. I couldn't touch you, I could only feel the temperature, as if it was empty." Ah Shi's hand trembled and pointed at the few people sitting on the tatami.
The tears gradually faded, "I was crying here just now, and the tears should have fallen on your face, but they penetrated directly and dripped on the tatami under you... In other words, your body just now was
Hollow.”
"What?" Ah Shi's words shocked Yu Qiuping. He raised his hand to touch his face in disbelief - there was no illusion, it was very solid. He looked at the tears on the tatami again, although they were gradually fading away.
, but those teardrops are still clearly visible.
I was illusory just now. Could it be that when I entered that scene, my body in this life would gradually disappear? Does that mean that if I stayed there for too long, I would completely disappear?
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping was completely scared. After finally coming back to his senses, he suddenly asked in surprise: "Then Ah Shi, why did you come over and touch my face, and why did you cry?"
"Ah..." Two blushes suddenly appeared on Ah Shi's cheeks. She lowered her head in shame and embarrassment, and quickly explained, "Because I was not asleep, and I saw Brother Hongye seemed to be disappearing, so I was frightened.
It doesn’t work.”
"I see..." Yu Qiuping covered his left eye with a headache, but he somehow felt that he was in a good state now. If he meditated again, he would definitely be able to enter that scene again. Waiting until tomorrow, he might not feel this good again.
.
"Ashi, do me a favor." So, Yu Qiuping smiled at Ashi, and then slowly lay down, "If my body becomes illusory again, you can find a way to wake me up."
"Brother Hongye?" Ah Shi was stunned when he heard this, "What are you going to do? You suddenly became illusory just now. Can you actually control it?"
"I'm not sure. It's quite mysterious. Don't mention this to others." Yu Qiuping warned Ah Shi, and then slowly closed his eyes.
"Brother Hongye, do you have to do it?" However, Ah Shi suddenly became frightened, "What are the benefits of becoming an illusion? Why do you do this? Isn't it too dangerous? What if you can't come back at all?
?”
"I have a hunch that this may be related to my life experience." It is impossible for Yu Qiuping to tell Ah Shi the secret of his time traveler, so he can only go so far, "I can't just leave it alone."
Because this is my hope of returning to my original world.
Yu Qiuping then lay down again, folded his hands on his abdomen, and began to meditate. It has to be said that after he found the knock on the door, it became very easy to enter that space again. This is a bit like Yu Qiuping when he first started learning Japanese.
When the nasal voice was voiced, he couldn't pronounce it no matter what. Even though Kondo Yasuo, Asahina Taehiro and others demonstrated to Yu Qiuping over and over again, explaining to Yu Qiuping the position of the tongue inside the mouth, Yu Qiuping just couldn't understand it. But Yu Qiuping himself couldn't understand it inexplicably.
After you succeed once, you can pronounce it easily. Maybe these behaviors related to the body itself are difficult to describe in words, just like it is difficult for a person to explain how he moves his wrist. Only by letting the body learn
Without this instruction, language and brain are of little help.
Yu Qiuping successfully entered that space again, this time he was already a light car
Familiar with the road, he gradually felt the heat in his body and the back of his head. The scene was still playing in front of him like a shadow puppet show, but he didn't care. He moved his body like the previous two times, turning his neck to the back of his head, and was
The firelight made his eyes hurt. He tried his best to close his eyes and counted for 20 seconds. He slowly opened his eyes to let them adapt to the intensity of the light. Then, he turned around desperately and saw the scene behind him——
A bonfire.
In front of the bonfire, you can see several shadow puppet-like puppets swinging in front of the bonfire. The bonfire reflects the shadows of these puppets on the wall in front of Yu Qiuping. This is what Yu Qiuping sees every time.
Whether it was the fire in Otani Castle for the first time, the revolving lantern for the second time, the Akechi Mitsuhide who was chosen by the emperor for the third time, or the Ashi just now. They were all seen here.
It turned out to be a shadow? Yu Qiuping turned around in disbelief. It was really shadows moving on the wall. Then why did he feel that the colors were so real when he saw these scenes a few times before?
Just when Yu Qiuping was confused, the surrounding environment gradually became brighter. He felt that he was in a cave at the moment. He looked down, and because the light became brighter, he could also see his body -
- He was wearing his own nightgown, but he was tied to the rock behind him by a circle of ropes.
"Being tied up? Who tied me up?" Yu Qiuping had countless thoughts in his mind, "Where is this cave again? Is it in reality or in the environment?"
Of course, all kinds of mysteries cannot be answered. All Yu Qiuping can do is keep struggling and struggling. The rope that binds him seems to be of poor quality - Yu Qiuping doesn't know why in such a mysterious occasion, this rope
But so cheap. Gradually, several ropes were broken, and Yu Qiuping could even take out his hands and tear off these ropes in large quantities.
However, these ropes were very strange. The quality was obviously very poor, but as long as there was still one rope, Yu Qiuping could not stand up. He had to patiently break each rope, and then stood up suddenly.
What came next was a feeling like the world was spinning.
When Yu Qiuping regained consciousness again, all he heard was Ah Shi's cries of joy, and a soft feeling came from his body. He tried hard to open his eyes and found that Ah Shi was crying on his body.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping felt dizzy, and it was very difficult to even raise his eyelids.
"Brother Hongye...you finally woke up! I thought you would never wake up again." Ah Shi climbed up from Yu Qiuping, looked at Yu Qiuping in disbelief, touched Yu Qiuping's cheek with his hand, and confirmed
His existence is real.
"Just now... I was almost invisible. My whole body was completely transparent." Ah Shi suddenly collapsed again, hugging Yu Qiuping's neck, lying in his arms and crying, "Brother Hongye, what happened just now?"
What is it! I beg you, stop trying, you will really die. I can't do anything, I can't help you, I can only watch you disappear little by little, and it's no use calling you, hitting you, shaking you.
Ah… don’t try again, it will really disappear forever!”
"Alas." Yu Qiuping gently pushed Ashi, who was crying, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the situation in front of him. After all, Ashi was also his sister-in-law, the widow of Asai Nagamasa, so what kind of thing was it to have her cry on him like this?
.Yu Qiuping had been in a trance before, but now he came back to his senses.
"I'm fine. I promise you I'll never try again. Ah Shi get up first and stop crying, okay?" Yu Qiuping comforted softly, looking at Ah Shi with a smile.
He slowly straightened up, but his tears hadn't stopped yet, like a frightened little rabbit.
"I, Yu Qiu Hongye, always do what I say. Why, can't you trust me?" Yu Qiuping patted his chest and forced out an exaggerated smile. But in his heart, he was thinking about another thing.
It was the night of his wedding to Kaede Imagawa nearly 20 years ago. He confided in Kaede Imagawa the secret of his time travel, and Kaede Imagawa asked him a question.
"That's not what I'm concerned about." Imagawa Feng shook his head and looked at Yu Qiuping, "What I'm worried about is! Ping, will you... suddenly go back when?"
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment...Yes, why haven't I thought about this problem?
"Although this may be selfish..." Imagawa Kaede said hesitantly, "But I want to know... if Ping had a chance to go back, would you choose to go back? After all... Ping's parents, Ping's relatives and friends, all
In that world, isn’t it?”
What a...cruel choice.
If it were me who had just traveled through time, I would definitely go back without hesitation.
However, this short period of less than two years has given him so many bonds in this era.
He also has his own wife and his own home.
What would I choose?
"Although you may be unhappy if you say this." Yu Qiuping looked at Imagawa Kaede, "But I really don't know, if that moment comes, how will I choose." Imagawa Kaede nodded aggrievedly, tears silently in his eyes.
Spin. She has always been strong and proud, but in front of Yu Qiuping, she always acts like a little girl.
This is the true side of her heart.
When Yu Qiuping saw her pitiful appearance, he felt his heart melt.
"No matter what, no matter how Ping chooses." Imakawa Kaede suddenly burst into tears and smiled, "I have to thank the gods for sending Ping to this world and giving me the opportunity to meet you. This is what Feng'er has been doing for dozens of lives.
What about the blessings gained through cultivation?"
"Perhaps this is...the so-called match made in heaven." Imagawa Kaede whispered, "I really hope Ping...can never go back."
"But if you suddenly go back...I will be happy for you. Because it can be seen that you really miss your parents!"
The room suddenly became very small. Yu Qiuping was silent, not knowing what to say, and was worried.
Even though many years have passed since that conversation at that time, Yu Qiuping can still clearly remember every expression and every word of Kaede Imagawa. That conversation meant a lot to him.
But at that time, he had no idea of ​​going back, but now he has.
He felt that this moment was coming, but when he wanted to answer Imagawa Kaede's question again - "If Ping had a chance to go back, would you choose to go back?" - he could only answer "Really?"
have no idea".
He missed his parents, relatives and friends, and everything in that life, but in this life, he also had too many cares and ties, and too many people fought and lived for him.
Yu Qiuping then made up his mind not to meditate or enter that cave again before he figured out whether he wanted to go back or not. Because he had a hunch that the mysterious cave was the path for him to cross. What if he took a wrong step?
, it is very likely that he will return to his own world. Since he has not thought about it clearly, it is better not to go in. And anyway, he has already promised Ah Shi, and he must keep it.
