Chapter 33: The Vase

I was blown away by the change, the four colors looked like some kind of puzzle puzzle of some kind of game, and the colors had to be aligned in order to open the traps.

I asked Wang Yue what she thought.

Wang Yue shook her head blankly and gently touched the ring. It can be seen from the frowning brow that she has no idea either.

The two of us gathered in front of the cupboard to study. Then I suddenly saw something flash through the cracks in the cupboard door.

I pouted curiously, my eyes were on the crack in the door, and I was about to look in, and suddenly, an eye appeared in the depths of the gap, looking at me from the inside!

I was completely unprepared, screamed, my scalp exploded, and I sat on the ground in fright.

Wang Yue hurriedly came over to help me, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I stumbled and said, "Closet, there's someone in the cupboard." Positively, looking at me. ”

Wang Yue pulled me up, she leaned over to look, and said suspiciously, no one. I took her hand, my palms were sweaty, and I had the courage to look at it again, and this look was startled, and the eye was obviously still there, looking out.

I was covered in hair, pointed inside, and said, "You can't see? ”

Wang Yue shook her head and said nothing.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and told her not to joke.

Wang Yue was a little angry: "Is it time to joke, am I such a careless person?" ”

I muttered that I was the only one who could see.

Wang Yue said curiously, "Is the person inside looking at you?" ”

I stood next to the cupboard and plucked up the courage to look again, and the eye was still there. As soon as Wang Yue reminded me of this, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong, that eye was not staring at me. I'm standing next to the cupboard, and if the eye is looking at me, then the eye should be following me, but at this moment, that eye is just looking straight ahead.

I told Wang Yue about this discovery, and Wang Yue looked thoughtfully, and she looked across the cabinet, and I followed suit. Not far from the cabinet is the bed, and behind the bed is the writing desk, which looks nothing special. No, there really is one.

Wang Yue's and I eyes fell on the writing desk, on which there was a round vase.

I looked at the eye in the cupboard, then at the vase, and became more and more sure that the eye was staring at the vase.

This is the realm of the bardo, and everything that appears is not given for nothing. Is there something wrong with the vase?

Wang Yue and I walked over at the same time and came to the vase. The vase is celadon on the outside, smooth to the touch, and the belly in the middle and upper part is particularly large, so I picked it up and looked inside, and it was empty. I casually put the vase headfirst down and poured it down, and there was nothing in it.

Wang Yue said softly: "Lin Cong, you move the vase to see if your eyes are following it." ”

Don't say that this girl is smart, I moved the vase on the table for some distance, and then looked at the eyes in the cupboard, and the eyes really changed, it was really following the vase.

"It's a hint." Wang Yue said: "The key to our cracking seems to be on this vase. ”

I can't imagine what a vase can be. Look over and over again.

I had a big clue map in my head, and now I was pretty sure that the door we were going out was deep in the hallway, and it was so dark there that there had to be lighting to get out. At present, the only lighting tools are the table lamp outside and the matches that Wang Yue found.

So what does the match have to do with the vase in front of you? Celadon vases are not combustibles.

The clue is also the strange painting on the wall and the chest of drawers in this room, can these be connected? My head kind of exploded.

I flicked the vase with my fingers, and something strange happened, a trace of texture appeared on the part of the bounce. Wang Yue and I glanced at each other, and I flicked the surrounding places with my fingers, and sure enough, there was a texture with the tapping. I kept playing, and the textures gradually joined together, and the area grew larger and larger, forming a pattern.

When this pattern appeared, Wang Yue and I were dumbfounded.

This pattern is a lotus flower, and the technique used is to outline the danqing, and the thin lines are intricately intertwined to form layers of blooming lotus petals. Wang Yue looked at me and shouted, "That painting outside! ”

I held the vase and ran out with Wang Yue to the living room outside. Wang Yue held up the lamp and shone at the painting on the wall.

This painting is a group of explorers entering the temple, and there is a woman with a side face that looks like my mother.

At this time, the focus of our attention is not on these people, but on the lampstand above the incense case in the painting, which is lotus-shaped, blooming layer by layer, and the painting is extremely exquisite.

I held the vase up and compared it with the lotus lampstand in the painting, it was exactly the same lotus flower, and even the smallest details were very consistent.

"It's a hint," Wang Yue said, "and the key thing is the lotus lantern in the painting!" ”

I set the vase aside and gently stroked the lotus lantern on the painting with my hand, what secrets it hid. Wang Yue stood aside, frowning, and couldn't see the clue.

"Any thoughts?" I asked.

Wang Yue's brows furrowed: "I don't know, if you think about it, this painting didn't appear for no reason, can you recall the experience of this painting?" ”

I quickly stretched out my hands: "I am 100% sure that I have not experienced the content of the painting." I've definitely never been to this temple. ”

"You say this person looks like your mother?" Wang Yue pointed to one of the few people at the door.

At this time, the light in the painting changed again, and the person fell into darkness, and the outline of his facial features was missing, and he could not judge.

My mind was a mess, my eyes were fixed on the lotus lampstand, and then at the few explorers in the jackets in the painting, as if I had thought of something, but I didn't think about it.

Thinking about it, I suddenly hit a spirit, as if it can be linked, the lampstand, the match......

I looked at Wang Yue, Wang Yue looked back at me, frightened by my eyes, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I suddenly thought of something," I said, "the lotus lantern in the painting is extinguished, which means that it has something to do with fire." And you've found matches. Could there be any connection between the two? ”

Wang Yue took out the matchbox from her pocket and gently pulled it open, there were only two matches in the box.

"You mean you can light the lamp in the painting with a match?" Wang Yue said softly.

My throat moved, and to be honest, I really didn't think about it, it was so outrageous, I denied it at the first thought.

I've only roughly guessed what the two have to do with each other, but I'm not big enough to think that a match in reality can light a lamp in a painting.

I asked, "Will it be?" ”

"You can try." Wang Yue said: "This is the realm of the bardo, and anything outrageous can happen. ”

I took out a match from the matchbox, and Wang Yue suddenly said, "However, we must be mentally prepared. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Wang Yue pointed to the matchbox: "There are only two matches here, that is, we only have two chances to light the fire." The number of matches and the corresponding mechanism are matched, and if we guess wrong, we will waste a match, and if there is a chance to ignite it later, we will have nothing to do. ”

I didn't expect it to be like this, winking and saying, "A turnip and a pit?" ”

"That's what it means." She nodded: "If you waste key props, even if you find the corresponding mechanism later, you won't be able to crack it." ”

When she said that, I immediately felt the harshness.

I hesitated: "Will you use it this time?" ”

"You decide." Wang Yue said softly: "Even if we can't go out anymore, I'm happy because I'm with you." ”

I was a little touched by that. To be honest, I have a relationship with her, but the previous toss is getting weaker and weaker, and now that I have experienced things here with her, I suddenly feel that having such a girlfriend is actually quite good.

I looked at the painting, then at the match in my hand, thought for a moment and said, "Then use it, you have to use it anyway, and it's not interesting to keep it." ”

Wang Yue let out a "hmm".

I slowly struck the match, the flame burned, and slowly moved the match, aiming the flame at the lotus lampstand on the painting.

The closer I got, the more I regret it, and I think it's a bit ridiculous that we think this way, can we ignite it? It's okay to waste a match, but once the painting is set on fire, will the whole house catch fire?

But there is no turning back from archery, and now that it is like this, I can only grit my teeth and gamble.

The match head was finally attached to the painting, and the flame licked the paper, and my heart was beating like it was jumping out of the cavity. Half a second, a second...... After that, a trace of smoke suddenly came out of the wick of the lotus seed lantern stand, and then it ignited, and a small flame popped out. As the flame appeared, the match in my hand suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

Wang Yue and I looked at each other, we clapped our palms, and shouted together excitedly, "Yay! ”

We guessed it!

The lotus lampstand was lit, and the scene in the painting began to change, and Wang Yue and I seemed to be watching a movie. On the painting, the explorer in front of the incense case first raised his body, and the explorers at the back door walked into the temple together.

The man who came in later raised his hand, pointed at the man in front of the incense case, and said something loudly, as if accusing. This is a painting, and you can only see the dynamic picture evolution, and you can't hear the sound.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the person in the back seemed to be accusing the person in front of me of not moving around and lighting the lotus lantern.
