I was a little confused and asked Uncle Zhong what the consequences would be.

Uncle Zhong said: "Every level of the test in the bardo realm is based on people's karma and state of mind, if you have experienced the seven levels of trials early, then what if karma appears again in your future life?" ”

Li Damin and I looked at each other, and I really didn't think about this problem.

What Uncle Zhong means is: For example, I am 25 years old this year, so the trial level for me in the bardo realm is only up to my life experience before the age of 25. I still have a long life, so what if karma appears in my life in the future?

I said to Uncle Zhong, is that what you mean?

Uncle Zhong nodded: "If you finish these seven levels now, there will only be one consequence, you have already overdrawn the blessings and karma of your entire life in advance, and you will not be able to live." ”

My throat moved.

"Now this is a dilemma," Uncle Zhong said, "You want to save your mother, and you have to help Wang Yue, it is understandable." But with your current ability, you can only go through one level at a time. I can help you enter the bardo realm, but if you pass these seven levels, even if you finally save your mother as you wish, you will not survive the end of your life. Do you think it's a good deal? ”

I was silent for a moment: "If you can save my mother, I don't want this life." ”

"Okay, even if you are filial and exchange your life for your mother's life," Uncle Zhong said, "But if your mother successfully returned to her health and wanted to reunite with her son, but found that you were dead, then did you think about what to do with her for the rest of her life?" After she lost her husband, she had to lose her son, and she had to live in tears and grief for the rest of her life. Is it selfish that you just walked away and left your old mother in loneliness and sorrow? ”

I didn't speak.

Li Damin was serious: "This is a problem. You should think about it. ”

I said anxiously, "Am I not going to save my mother?" I know where she is, but I can't do anything, and I will live with guilt and disappointment for the rest of my life. ”

No one spoke in the room, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Li Damin suddenly said: "Uncle Zhong, could it be that Wang Yue walked through the seven levels, would she also have such an end?" ”

Uncle Zhong said: "Wang Yue, this girl only knows what it is, she doesn't know why, she has an agreement with Meng Po, and it is a mistake, and she has her own way to avoid it, but Xiaolin can't, after all, she is just an ordinary person." ”

Li Damin thought for a while and said, "Since there is this exception, it shows that this system of the Bardo Realm is not flawless. Others can take advantage of it, why can't we? Is there any way to circumvent this setting of the bardo realm? ”

Uncle Zhong nodded: "Did Wang Yue tell you that there is a Yin classic that is now outcast?" ”

I said yes.

Uncle Zhong said: "As far as I know, this classic records a lot of secrets about the realm of the bardo, you can use it as some kind of guide, and there is an answer on it. But the question is, where can you find it in this book? ”

I said: "Wang Yue said, she ......" I just wanted to say that she had the next volume in her hand, but Li Damin immediately interrupted me: "Uncle Zhong, you are also a bad person, and your status in the rivers and lakes is very high, you tell us where to find this book?" ”

I glanced at Li Damin, and he was silent. Uncle Zhong said: "This book is divided into two volumes, and it is useless to get either one." And it's really hard to find these two books. I can give you a clue as to where the first volume of this book is. ”

Li Damin and I screamed at the same time. Wang Yue has the next volume, if we find the upper volume again, the two books are aligned, we are likely to crack the secrets of the Yin text, and even the secrets of the underworld.

We hurriedly asked, where can we find the first volume?

Uncle Zhong smiled: "Look at the two of you like this, even if I tell you, I won't be able to find it." ”

"Why?" Li Damin asked.

Uncle Zhong said: "I have known the whereabouts of the last volume for a long time, but why haven't I found it?" It's just you two tender eggs, you still want to try it. ”

Li Damin said: "If it doesn't work, you can let us try it, even if you die in the future, you won't worry about it." ”

Uncle Zhong thought for a while: "Okay! I'll tell you, if you really have the chance to find this first volume, I can also follow it. Let's say okay, if you find the classics of Yinwen, you must lend them to me. I don't want to possess them, but I have to show them for a while. ”

Li Damin and I looked at each other, and Li Damin nodded at me and said no problem.

Uncle Zhong said: "This volume is in the hands of another yincha, this person has an extremely strange temper, and his cultivation is the same mystery, once you annoy him, you will never have a chance in the future." ”

"Isn't it just kneeling and licking, no problem." Li Damin said with a big grin.

Uncle Zhong doesn't understand such a new word on the Internet, but he can probably know what it means. He said: "This person's name is Ma Danlong, who used to be in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan for a long time, and used the ability of Yin to open a dojo to help people watch the falling yin. Later, I came to the mainland, I don't know what I was doing, and I was very low-key. He's now the director of a hotel chain, and he's in the city, so if you have the ability, you'll be able to find him. ”

"Can you tell us to introduce us?" I asked.

Uncle Zhong smiled: "Of course not." Ma Danlong has a strange temper and rarely interacts with other Yin Errands, he knows that I asked you to go, he will definitely think about it, don't talk about me, but you can mention Wang Yue. ”

Li Damin and I came out of Uncle Zhong's house, and I asked him why he didn't let me say that the next book was at Wang Yue's. Li Damin shook his head: "I don't trust Uncle Zhong a little, we don't know a lot of things about their rivers and lakes, so it's better to be cautious." ”

At noon, Li Damin and I had a simple meal, and in the afternoon we went to the chain hotel and asked the front desk service about Ma Danlong, but they didn't know each other.

It's no wonder that Ma Danlong belongs to the high-level directors, how can the people who work below know each other.

However, those service ladies had a very good attitude, invited the lobby manager, and heard us say that we were looking for Ma Danlong, and the manager knew him, saying that he wanted to call to confirm. Li Damin and I waited for a while, and he came back and told us that Ma Dong was currently outside to deal with the business of a real estate, and it was inconvenient to meet outsiders.

We were asked out by the manager, and Li Damin was very clever and asked more, where is the real estate. It was so soft and hard that the manager finally told us that it was a garden community.

It was still early in the afternoon, and Li Damin drove me to the garden community in a car with great interest. This community is an old building in the 90s, although it is in the urban area, but it is extremely remote, it is almost to the junction of urban and rural areas, the residential buildings are gray and misty, and there is a night market at the entrance of the community.

We entered the community, looked up, the building was quite high, counting the twenty-one floors, the white clouds fluttered down the building seemed to be crumbling, as if it had collapsed on the slope.

I quickly withdrew my gaze, but Li Damin was still watching intently, looking thoughtful.

I asked him what was wrong.

Li Damin's eyes were very confused: "It's very strange Lin Cong, I seem to be very familiar with this place, and I seem to have been here." But I know I definitely haven't been here. ”

"Oh, I usually feel this way too, walking to a strange place and feeling familiar. It doesn't matter, it's normal. I said.

Li Damin frowned: "I always feel that I have an indescribable relationship with here, but I can't tell what it is." ”

We were chatting when a resident came out of the building. Li Damin seemed to have discovered a new continent and greeted loudly: "Li Yang! ”

Out of the crowd came a man about the same age as us, extremely thin, with a shaved head, black-rimmed glasses, and his cheeks sunken in, like a smoker.

"Come, come, I'll introduce you." Li Damin pulled the man over: "This is called Li Yang, and he is my cousin." Li Yang, this is my good friend, his name is Lin Cong. ”

I shook hands with Li Yang.

Li Yang had a light beard on his chin, and his eyes were very obedient. This guy should be hard to get along with, I thought to myself.

Li Damin and Li Yang had a quick conversation, it turned out that Li Yang had rented a house in this building and was now living here. Li Damin was very excited and said that it was great, there was a place to stay.

The two of them got together, very happy, Li Yang went to the snack street to buy a lot of things, I can't eat in vain, I simply bought a box of wine, the three of us entered the building, to the top 21st floor.

This building is really old, and there is a very unpleasant smell in the elevator, which can smoke a person, like someone spilled vegetable soup, and the smell of volatilization after a long time.

I was dizzy and made it to the top floor, and when I stepped out of the elevator, the hallway was empty and deserted. In broad daylight, it is difficult for sunlight to shine through the corridor windows, making the environment extremely gloomy.

We walked in the corridor with heavy footsteps, empty echoes, and finally came to Li Yang's rented house. It was only after I walked in that my heart settled down.

We put the food away, and Li Damin asked his cousin why he thought of renting a house here, and it was not good to be far away and in a remote environment.

Li Yang smiled: "Remember the copper lock, right?" ”

"The one from the Lantern League?" Li Damin asked. When he saw that I was confused, he explained that the Lantern League was an adventure VIP group in the city, and he and Li Yang were both members of the group, and so was the copper lock, and they usually had a good relationship, and everyone used to go out to play.

Li Yang said: "The reason why I can move here is actually funny, and it has something to do with the copper lock watch." He shook his wrist.

Seeing that we were interested, he smiled and said, "That day, the copper lock came here to run errands, and when he passed by the garden community, he accidentally glanced at his watch. And guess what, for a moment, the hands of his watch were moving backwards, that is, counterclockwise. Time seems to have turned back. ”
