The three of us guarded Chen Jian, and he fell asleep in a groggy state.

The wind and snow outside stopped. I reminded Li Damin. Damin walked to the door and forcefully opened the door of the cabin, and not only was the snow gone, but the scene also changed.

It turned out to be spring and Jingming, the mountains were full of flowers, and it seemed that it was spring in an instant. A small breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of grass and flowers.

The three of us looked at each other, Chen Meiyu walked to the door and sighed softly: "This level has finally passed." ”

I asked, what is the ultimate test of this level?

Li Damin said: "No matter what it is, I finally got through this hurdle, and I have to rest well." ”

Chen Meiyu hugged her father tightly and said to us, "You two should go out first." Lin Cong, you can get out of the bardo realm with a single thought. Damin, I will send you out too. ”

Li Damin said: "I don't care, it's okay to accompany you here." ”

The girl shook her head: "You are a mortal after all, it is not good for you to be out of the soul for too long, be obedient, go back first." Now that I've found my dad, I've marked him so I can find him the next time I come in. ”

Since she has decided so, Li Damin can't say anything more.

My heart moved, and I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was still sitting in the living room of the Chen family's villa. Sunlight was faintly shining through the window, and the wall clock on the wall showed five o'clock in the morning.

The breeze blew in from outside the door, and I stretched and slowly got up from the ground.

We experienced a full 24 hours in the bardo realm at this level, and after coming out, the real world time was only a few hours.

Thinking back to the scene of the bardo realm, it was like a big dream.

I slowly came to the chair to rest, although I didn't have a soul, but I just realized it, and I still felt tired.

I poured a glass of water and was drinking, and when I saw Li Damin moving his body, he also opened his eyes.

The two of us looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li Damin is out of the soul and back to the soul, his face is pale, and he consumes a lot of energy than me. He wanted to stand up, but his body fell, "Lao Lin, help me." ”

I hurriedly helped him up, Li Damin's legs were weak, and he walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Helping him sit on the chair, Li Damin reluctantly took the tea bowl and drank the water one by one, looking at him like that, he was so tired that he didn't want to say a word.

The two of us sat like this for a while, Li Damin breathed a sigh of relief and said tiredly: "After walking through Yin for so many times, my body is really unbearable, much more consumed than in the real world." ”

"Tired, aren't you?" I say.

"I'm really tired." Li Damin thought thoughtfully: "But I'm becoming more and more interested in that place, and I really want to apprentice and learn the Tao when I have the opportunity." ”

I half-jokingly, "Why don't you lend you the psychic bracelet this time?" ”

"Forget it." Li Damin waved his hand: "I figured it out, your thing is just a not very smart plug-in, which is opportunistic." I still want to learn something real and really control the world! ”

I scoffed, "You're so loud." You don't have control over the yang world, and you still want to control the underworld? ”

"It's a matter of people." Li Damin said: "Do you know what I'm thinking, I'm thinking about how I can bring something out of the bardo realm. ”

I gasped, this kid's ideas are really wild, and his mind is open.

"Are you crazy?" I say.

Li Damin said: "Do you say that the realm of the bardo really exists, or is it something we fantasize about?" ”

"At the moment, there should be such a space." I said.

"Okay." Li Damin said: "Since there is such a space, the things in it should all exist objectively." So why can't you just bring things out of that world? ”

"That is what I said," I frowned, "and according to you, you can also bring things from the yang world to the underworld?" ”

"Yes, that's the truth." He said excitedly.

"First of all, we don't know what the general rules of the two worlds are," I analyzed: "Things in the yang world, such as picking up the teacup in front of you, are made of porcelain clay, they do exist, and they are three-dimensional. But when we enter the realm of bardo, and even enter the underworld, it is not us who enter, but the soul who is entering, and the consciousness is entering, and no one knows how many dimensions the space there is. If you force three-dimensional things to the higher dimension, and bring the high-dimensional things back to the three-dimensional, will there be any major consequences? It's hard to say. I suddenly remembered something: "I remember that in astronomy, a neutron star or something, in the higher dimension, is a point, but in the three-dimensional world, it is a very dense star, enough to crush the entire earth and even the solar system." ”

Li Damin thoughtfully: "What you said also makes sense. The underworld is the world of souls, and what is the relationship between souls and human bodies is a mystery that has not been solved for centuries. Lao Lin, I have set a goal in life. ”

What I asked.

Li Damin vowed: "I must find out the rules of that world and find a way to open up the passage between yin and yang!" In addition to life and death, there are other ways to connect the two worlds! ”

I looked at him, felt a chill for some reason, and said in silence, "Damin, you are walking into a forbidden area. ”

"Mankind has made tremendous progress because of the exploration of forbidden areas." Li Damin said: "Is exploring the ocean a forbidden area? Is space exploration off-limits? It's time for humanity to explore the world of death. It's a matter of time, and you and I are the forerunners. ”

I don't want to continue on this issue, "By the way, what did Chen Meiyu say when you came out?" ”

Li Damin said: "The next level has not been triggered, they are safe for the time being." Chen Meiyu is guarding her father, and she may come out in a while. We don't have the same time system as hers, I can't say. ”

Speaking of Chen Jian, I subconsciously looked at the corpse lying on the bed, it didn't matter, I was frightened, and hurriedly walked over.

Li Damin followed behind, and we stood on the edge of the bed and looked over, and there were a lot of blisters on the face of Chen Jian's corpse, like serious burns, and some of the blisters had been broken, and red and white pus were flowing out.

The face became more and more terrifying and hideous under the naked eye, as if it had been poured with hot water.

The two of us glanced at each other, and Li Damin said, "It seems that the punishment he received in the bardo realm has been fed back to the yang realm." ”

I know that the reason why his body became like this is because he repented of what he did to Lin Xiaohui and burned his head in the coal pile.

There is a very paradoxical logic here, if he doesn't get into the coal pile and burn himself, he can't really repent, and if he can't repent, he won't be able to get past that level and be trapped in it forever.

It can also be seen as retribution, what he did caused Lin Xiaohui to suffer a great pain, and this pain was doubled after death.

The heavens are clear, and no one can run.

At this time, many of the burned blisters of the corpse were broken, and the juice of pus flowed out. Chen Jian's face was full of bubbles, hideous and terrifying.

Suddenly, there was a scream behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Aunt Wei Zhen coming.

Wei Zhen is Chen Jian's original wife and Chen Meiyu's mother. She left very early last night, and she couldn't worry about her husband and daughter, so she rushed over early in the morning. She is not herself, and she has the nanny at home by her side.

When Wei Zhen saw that the corpse had become like this, he was top-heavy and almost fell, and the nanny probably knew that her hostess was not in good health, so she had already taken precautions and hurriedly supported her.

When the two women came to the bedside, Wei Zhen's face turned pale, and he wanted to vomit when he looked at it, turned his eyes away, and said weakly: "This, what's going on?" ”

Li Damin was silent and didn't speak, I said two words: "Retribution." ”

"What, what retribution?" Wei Zhen was out of breath.

Li Damin secretly pulled the corner of my clothes, shook his head gently, and signaled not to talk nonsense.

We helped Wei Zhen to the side and sat down, and the hall was filled with an indescribable smell, like the smell of leprosy.

The nanny said fearfully, it was the smell of the corpse.

Wei Zhen was weak: "Auntie, do you dare to clean up the corpse?" ”

The nanny was almost bitten by a mouse, and quickly jumped up, trembling: "I, I don't dare." Sister Wei, you, don't embarrass me. ”

Wei Zhen looked at me and Li Damin: "Two little brothers, Lao Chen's body is not a problem like this, and the weather is also hot, can you help clean it up?" I won't call you in vain, is the labor fee of 3,000 yuan enough? ”

Li Damin and I both laughed together, did not agree, but drank tea slowly.

Wei Zhen bit his lower lip: "I'll give you 10,000?" Add another 10,000 yuan to the total remuneration! You clean up the corpses. Otherwise, it's disrespectful to the dead, right? You clean up first, I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while, and you two will come and look for me when you're done, and I want to know what happened after I went in the shade last night. ”

I put down the teacup: "Your daughter Miyu will return to the sun after a while." What happened...... You might as well ask her. ”

Seeing that we had this attitude, Wei Zhen sighed softly, no longer insisted, and let the nanny help him stagger to the second floor.

I looked at Li Damin and asked him if he was cleaning up the body.

Li Damin stretched his waist: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others." Besides, it's not about helping the dead put on makeup and dressing, isn't it just cleaning up the corpse, it's very simple. ”

"You're coming, then?" I squeezed him.

"I'll come, I'll come." Li Damin said: "But I'll take all the 10,000." ”

I snorted, "Come on, let's do it together." These few times I went to the yin, and I looked down on life and death, and I was not so afraid. ”
