Chapter 30: The Lotus
Li Damin is in this state now, I don't dare to pull him into the water anymore, and I want to entrust him to help me and Wang Yue, so I didn't say anything, and I couldn't open my mouth. After we rested, Li Damin's condition gradually improved, his face became rosy, and I wanted to send him home. Li Damin suddenly said, Lin Cong, are you something, you want to stop talking.
His observation is still so sharp, I hesitated to say, I don't know if I should tell you that you are in this state......
He said it was okay and urged me to say.
I sighed, told Wang Yue about how she had left the bardo realm and met my mother, and finally told him that Wang Yue and I planned to enter the bardo realm again, and that someone outside needed to protect and communicate with her.
Li Damin suddenly realized: "That's it, I can." When he saw that I was still a little worried, he said, "It's okay, I'm just watching you from the periphery, and I'm not going in, so you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Since that's the case, I'll contact Wang Yue." I say. Li Damin said to contact immediately.
I called Wang Yue and told her about the situation, and Wang Yue also said let Li Damin come, basically there is no danger.
Li Damin and I went to Wang Yue's house in the evening, we met each other, Li Damin smiled: "Wang Yue, I usually see you in the unit, you are a delicate and weak girl, I didn't expect you to have such a strange identity." ”
Wang Yue smiled, didn't say much, and said a few simple greetings, and suddenly she stared at Li Damin and said, "After you returned to yang, do you feel okay?" ”
Li Damin said: "I was a little confused at first, my mind was not clear, but I feel much better after this day, thank you." ”
Wang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Damin, there is still a yin qi in your body that has not been dispelled. ”
I hurriedly said, "Then you help the people clean up." ”
Wang Yue shook his head: "This yin qi is not very strong, I can't understand it, it may be the reason why the soul has not been stabilized yet, observe it for a few more days." ”
Li Damin waved his hand happily: "No need, I think it's okay." ”
I told Li Damin about the long dream, and Wang Yue listened very carefully. She told us that Li Damin's situation was quite special, that his soul had left his body during those three days, and that the dream he had was the information obtained by his soul wandering outside the body.
Li Damin blinked: "You mean, my soul went out of my body and went to someone else's body?" ”
Wang Yue's eyes were very confused: "I don't know, there are many things in this world that can't be explained." Nowadays, there are many theories about dreams, and there are also theories that when people are sleeping or meditating, their brain waves will match the bands of cosmic rays, and then they can receive information from another parallel world. ”
I heard it ridiculously: "Wang Yue, aren't you a yin, a wizard who dances the great gods." How do you still believe in parallel worlds? ”
Wang Yue was a little unhappy, and looked at me angrily: "Parallel world, another space, the underworld and the yang world...... These are just different names for the same thing. What's wrong with science, what's wrong with witchcraft, it's all an explanation of nature. ”
Li Damin shouted wonderfully and applauded a few times: "Look at Wang Yue, how inclusive this thinking is." Back to my dream, do you mean, I went out of my body and went into another parallel space in the past three days? ”
"I don't know." Wang Yue said: "If I can explain your dream, then I will not be in the shadows, but go to Longhu Mountain to be the head." ”
I didn't speak, pondering, Wang Yue and Uncle Zhong actually have one of the biggest characteristics, they can't make a systematic scientific explanation of the spells they are good at, they don't know why. They use supernatural spells, but it's confusing to ask them to elaborate on how they work.
The three of us chatted for a while, and it was getting dark. Wang Yue and I went to the bedroom, ready to enter the bardo realm.
There are currently two known ways to enter the realm of the bardo, either you have superb mana, there is a way to the heavens, there is a door to the earth, and you can go to the underworld and the yang world, and you can go back when you say it, this is the first one. The second way is death, in the state of death, free from the bondage of the body, you can enter the bardo realm, and accept the test of Meng Po. To put it bluntly, this kind of test is also a kind of judgment.
According to common sense, it is one pass a day, a total of seven days in the shade, and seven passes have passed. It is said that you can get great benefits by breaking through the past, either reincarnated and reincarnated into the rich family of the official eunuch as the second generation of the rich, or entering the underworld as a free ghost fairy to enjoy the blessings, and the worst can return to the original body.
The first time I entered this space, I didn't know anything about the situation inside, even if Wang Yue was there this time, my heart was pounding.
I didn't need a mirror this time, so Wang Yue asked me to put the bracelet on and fasten it tightly around my wrist. Li Damin watched quietly from the side, and Wang Yue quickly got up from the altar to burn incense.
Her every move is like a tea ceremony, her movements are extremely elegant, her clothes have changed, no longer wearing her usual casual, but changing into clothes similar to ancient Chinese clothes, fluttering ribbons, faint gauze scarves, and tying her hair up, which is particularly beautiful.
After she burned the incense, the whole bedroom was filled with a faint fragrance. On a piece of yellow sheet paper, she used a brush dipped in cinnabar to write quickly, filling a whole page, full of ghost drawings, and she didn't know a word.
My curiosity was already bursting, and I wanted to ask what this meant, but the atmosphere was very serious, as if some ceremony was being held, and I was too embarrassed to open my mouth.
After writing, Wang Yue put the page on the candle and lit it, and the flame quickly licked the corner of the paper, and then spread, and in an instant the whole thing burned up, and finally turned into ashes.
Wang Yue slowly put the mask on her face and said to me, Lin Cong, you close your eyes, and I will open your eyes again when I let you open them later.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Hearing Wang Yue telling Li Damin, she said that after we enter the bardo realm, he will close the bedroom door and wait until this time tomorrow to open it. If we can come back, we will come back, and if we can't, she will find a way to leave a message.
Li Damin agreed.
Wang Yue's chanting sound sounded in her ears, her voice was very good, and at this time, it sounded like a lot of small insects flying in her ears. I listened more and more sleepily, my eyes were sticky as if they were glued, and I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Yue's voice sounded in my ears: "Lin Cong, open your eyes." ”
I slowly opened my eyes, and there was a very old-fashioned house in front of me, with a wooden sofa in the middle, and opposite the sofa was a TV set like a 20-inch shoe box. On one side of the sofa is a desk with a lot of papers neatly arranged, and a green lamp on the table.
The room was very quiet, there were only two people, me and Wang Yue, and we looked at each other.
"You've been here?" I asked.
She shook her head, "I was about to ask you, this is my first time here, and it's very unfamiliar. ”
I pointed to the landscape paintings and banners hanging on the walls and said, "We rarely hang things like this in our house. ”
The room was a little dark, Wang Yue looked around the wall, but didn't find a light switch, she looked at the lamp on the desk.
"Open it." I say.
Wang Yue said softly: "We have now entered the realm of the bardo, and every scene and every detail does not appear for no reason. It is all born according to our state of mind and willingness. Moreover, this is also the place of trial of Meng Po, and once there is action, then the trial of judgment begins. ”
"Are you afraid that the lamp is a mechanism?" I asked.
Wang Yue nodded lightly.
I thought for a moment, "That's going to have to be done." Something has to be done. ”
Wang Yue bit her lower lip: "Lin Cong, I want to make it clear to you first." Once the trap is activated, the room becomes a secret room. This secret room may be the fourth level I have to go through, or it may be your first level, the difficulty is different, we will be trapped here and never be able to get out. ”
I make a gesture to come on.
Wang Yue walked to the desk, twisted slightly, and the green desk lamp "snapped" on.
Today's table lamps are energy-saving bulbs, and the tube of this table lamp is actually a miniature fluorescent tube, which is very bright and very dazzling. However, the brightness does not illuminate the entire room, and the light spots around the table lamps form a similar stage effect.
I looked around in disbelief, and the room didn't seem to change, just darker.
The sofa and the TV both sank into the eerie darkness.
"Ahh Lin Cong looked. Wang Yue shouted.
She walked quickly to the table and picked up the lamp, which was still trailing with a long black wire, and she couldn't get far away. Wang Yue tugged at the wire, as if she wanted to take the lamp to illuminate something in the distance.
I hurried over to help her move the desk, it was very heavy, and her tired shoulders were sore, and finally moved out of the misplaced gap. Wang Yue pulled out the wire, then took the lamp to the wall and lifted it to shine.
In the vast white light, I saw a painting appear on the wall at some point, and I am sure that when we arrived, there was absolutely no such painting.
I stood behind Wang Yue, with a cool breeze running from the back of my neck, this ghost place is really weird. My throat was moving, and I went to look at the painting.
The background of the painting is a temple-like place, extremely dilapidated, and the camera of the picture is looking down from top to bottom, and you can see a dilapidated incense case, and a person is reaching out to touch a strangely shaped lampstand on the incense case.
This lampstand is staggered in layers, and it looks like a lotus flower in full bloom.
