Chapter 119: The Mirror
How did I come back again? Or didn't you go in at all?
I looked around and noticed something was wrong. The room is still the room where the bell is unkept, and the table of eight immortals is still the table of eight immortals, but the people sitting in front of the table are different.
There were two men and two women, both young people, eating hot pot. There is a copper stove hot pot on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the charcoal fire is burning vigorously, and the flames are rising along the middle of the charcoal mouth.
The people ate silently, the atmosphere was very strange, and no one spoke. Their movements were very gentle, and their faces were expressionless, like four dead people eating.
The atmosphere at the scene was very uncomfortable, and I glanced around and found no trace of the bell. I look at myself, I am currently ideological, invisible and invisible, as long as I don't take the initiative to make a noise, these four people will never see me.
Just as he was in doubt, a thin voice suddenly came from the psychic bracelet on his wrist: "Master, this is the 'realm of existence'." β
I remembered that there was a cat spirit in the bracelet, and I named it Heihei. It had been silent for so long, and now it had finally spoken.
We can communicate in our minds, and I ask it, "What do you say, this is the 'realm of being'?" β
Hei Hei said: "Master, didn't you ask me about the 'Empty Realm' and the 'Realm of Being'? β
I said "um".
Hei Hei Dao: "These two methods are extremely profound, and they can only be cultivated through the bardo realm, so I don't know how to cultivate them." However, I am a natural elf, I can pass through the realm of the bardo realm without hindrance, and I have some talents, so as soon as I arrived here, I immediately knew that this was the 'realm of existence'. β
I wondered, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaowen is a master, and she cultivated this ability in the bardo realm?" β
"I'm not sure about this," Hei Hei said, "I think she was born with this ability." β
"You see I understand it right," I said, "'The Realm of Being' is a kind of mirage that is artificially created and everyone else can enter. β
"Yes." Hei Hei said: "The master is very wise. In fact, you can figure out one or two from the name, and the meaning of 'the realm of existence' must be made out of nothing. β
At this point, I was a little stunned. The realm of existence is the realm of creating something out of nothing, isn't it just a dream?
I asked Hei Hei a question, is it true that everyone dreams and can be called a realm of existence?
Hei Hei thought for a while and said: "I can't understand what you humans are dreaming about, it's beyond the scope of what I can think, I've experienced everything from wild cats to cat spirits, but I've never been a human, so I don't understand a lot of things." But I think so, ordinary people may not be able to call it 'the realm of being', and the realm of existence must have the ability to dream out of thin air. Master, can you control your dreams and create them at will? β
I laughed: "It's good if I have that ability, but I hope I won't wake up after a long time of drunkenness." β
"Still," Hei Hei said, "Both the 'Realm of Being' and the 'Realm of Emptiness' both require the Fa and a long period of cultivation. It's not something that can be done casually. β
I suddenly thought, "The 'realm of being' is something out of nothing, is there a state of emptiness'?" What kind of state is that? β
As I was talking, suddenly there were footsteps outside, I looked up and saw that the door was open, and Xie Ling walked in from outside.
His expression couldn't see joy and anger, he looked ordinary, and when he came in, he was stunned when he saw the four people eating hot pot.
The four men also looked up at him.
Xie Ling smiled, walked over and pulled a stool to sit down, looked at the four people and said, "Xiaohui, Nanhua, Lai Ying, Xiaoxue...... Zhao Xiaowen, Zhao Xiaowen, you have a lot of heart, the few people I said casually, you all created them in your dreams. It's a pity that it doesn't look like it, just by my description, it's too different. β
Xie Ling picked up the chopsticks on the table, sandwiched a piece of mutton, and soaked it in the hot pot, saying while eating, "I just ate in the evening, why are you hungry now." β
Don't look at it as a small action, but I admire him, if it were me, I would never dare to eat in such a ghost place.
Xie Ling hissed while eating: "Zhao Xiaowen, have you ever been in Sichuan, ho, this hot pot base is so spicy, your tongue is numb." β
At this time, there was an old-fashioned radio in the corner of the house, and no one touched it, and suddenly there was a "sizzling" sound, and a female announcer's voice came, sneering: "The surname is Jie, you still have time to play poor, the surname Li has already started to walk the maze, you better think about yourself first." β
I was shocked that this female announcer was Zhao Xiaowen. This is her dream, and of course she can control it as she pleases. I shuddered a little, isn't this girl a god-like existence in this dream world?
If Xie Ling and Li Damin crack the maze at the same time, it is not up to her to have the final say, she says that whoever wins will win.
No, if you do, you lose fairness. This is the realm of existence, and the realm of achievement will not be so simple, and there must be worldviews and rules that we do not understand.
Xie Ling smiled bitterly: "Let me enter the labyrinth, you have to tell me the entrance." β
"The surname is Jie, and that's how your IQ is," Zhao Xiaowen sarcastically sarcastic: "The labyrinth is in this room, you can find it yourself." β
The radio snapped and turned itself off.
Xie Ling did not rush to move, but poured himself a drink, poured a little wine, and ate shabu mutton. He smiled and said to himself: "This girl is a knife mouth tofu heart, since she doesn't want to see me so much, she also arranged for my friend to appear and made such a big pot of mutton slices." β
He finished his meal slowly, touched his belly, got up and began to walk around the room, and after a round and turn, he went straight to the bedroom. I hurried to follow.
Unenchanted at all. He came to the door of the bedroom, pushed it casually, and the door "creaked" open, and the door shaft felt extremely jerky.
When the door opened, I was completely surprised, I didn't expect such a scene.
I hurried to follow, and the door closed behind me.
Inside, there was a living room, and the dΓ©cor was very unfamiliar, which I had never seen before.
On the sofa in the living room sat a child, probably no more than ten years old, visibly frightened, trembling like chaff and draped in a blanket, and even this could not suppress the chill and shiver on his body.
Opposite the child, there sat two adults, a man and a woman, who anxiously urged, "Lei Lei, tell Mom and Dad, what happened?" β
The kid muttered two words, "Mirror, mirror......"
At this time, the woman saw the bell and greeted: "It just so happens that your uncle is here, you usually like to play with your uncle the most, quick, tell your uncle what happened." β
The woman winked at Xie Ling, meaning to hurry over and comfort the child.
Xie Ling frowned slightly, he definitely didn't know these people, and after a little thought, he walked over and sat opposite the child. Jieling's on-the-spot reaction was really not covered, he gently stroked the child's hair: "Lei Lei, tell uncle, what happened?" β
The child raised his head, trembled and said, "Uncle, there is a mirror in that building, I, I see something in the mirror." β
Tell him not to panic and talk about it from beginning to end.
The child said, this child named Lei Lei is really naughty, and a few friends don't go home after school, so they go to a nearby abandoned building to explore. Playing around, they found something strange in a room on the seventh floor.
It was a mirror hanging on the wall.
The whole building was empty, and it was full of old and piled up rags, and they were very excited to finally find such a decent object. The mirror hung a little high, and the kids had to jump up and look at it if they wanted to.
The little boys were all at the age when cats and dogs were ignoring them, and they thought of a way to ride each other around their necks, and one to put the other up, and then they could see the mirror.
One of the little fat men lifted up with Lei Lei, Lei Lei rose higher and higher, and finally faced the mirror.
The mirror was dirty, full of stains accumulated over the years, and in the mottled dust, he could barely see his own image. Lei Lei also waved his hand at himself in the mirror.
That's when he saw something unusual appear in the mirror.
At first, I thought I was dazzled, because the mirror surface was too dirty, and there was a possibility of visual dislocation. When he saw clearly, the child was so frightened that he almost fell off the shoulder of the little fat man.
"What do you see?" Xie Ling asked.
Lei Lei looked at Xie Ling, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, uncle, I, I, I saw you!" β
Xie Ling's eyebrows raised in an instant. He was still calm, and I was right next to him, and my hair stood on end.
"You see me?" Xie Ling asked.
Lei Lei nodded: "You, your appearance is a little scary in the mirror, you, you are looking through the mirror and eye-catching with me." I, I still see ......"
"What?" Xie Ling asked.
Lei Lei's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't speak.
Xie Ling didn't urge him, just looked at him like this, his eyes were soft, and he didn't mean to force the child, but encouraged him to say it.
Lei Lei said softly: "I, I see someone behind you." He was blurry and couldn't see his face clearly, and I remember a big black cat lying on his wrist. β
