When selecting a path or more paths with the Selection Tool or *Direct Selection Tool, I do not see the blue guide lines anymore. So I cannot know what is selected as well as how many anchor points are in a path. However when I put the mouse over a path, I can still see them.

How can I bring this blue lines (guide lines) back?

I find myself referring to this thread pretty often, so I'll also throw in that sometimes I need to change the GPU Preview setting to get the blue lines to show up:

View > GPU Preview (Cmd+E) --> uncheck

In addition to John's post, it could be...

View > Show Edges

And the short cut is Command/Ctrl + h

Or....

View > Smart Guides

And the short cut is Command/Ctrl + u

Sounds like you may have accidentally turned them off. To turn them back on:

View → Guides → Show Guides

You may have made them invisible accidentally by hitting the hotkey, which is Ctrl | Cmd + ;
