Chapter 11: Bardo
Uncle Zhong's words scared me enough, it was really a disaster, and I got on the thief ship in a good way. If you don't do it, you won't be able to become an idiot sooner or later.
The three of us packed up and left the house, and Li Damin had a car that drove us straight to Wang Yue's house. On the way I asked him how he knew where I lived. Li Damin smiled: "Ask." With so many colleagues, there is always something to know, and it will be clear as soon as you ask. I'll tell you, my best job is not sales, it's detective. ”
As soon as I heard this, I felt awkward in my heart, peeping into other people's privacy, and you still ignored you.
Soon arrived at the community where Wang Yue lived, pressed the password into the building, and then entered her house. We went straight to Wang Yue's bedroom. After opening the door, I went straight inside, Li Damin shook his head and said, there is black smoke inside, I don't have your bracelet to ward off evil spirits.
Because the bracelet is there, it can break this illusion. I didn't care, standing in the doorway watching the two of them.
Uncle Zhong sighed: "Wang Yue, this little girl, don't look at her young age, but she is definitely a leader in the shadows, and she has some methods." I can't dispel the black smoke here, so I can only illuminate it temporarily. He pulled out a red candle from his bag, lit it, and burned it red.
He walked in front with a candle, Li Damin followed, and I walked in with a big grin, and there was a bracelet to run amok.
These two people are in weird poses, groping in the dark, as if performing a pantomime, and I want to laugh when I see it. Uncle Zhong suddenly said, "Xiaolin, where is that mirror?" ”
I hurried over and led them to the mirror by the wall. Uncle Zhong held a candle and came to the mirror tremblingly, and could see that the images of him and Li Damin were reflected in the mirror. When I looked at the scene in the mirror, I chuckled in my heart, the background in the mirror was a dark black smoke, and I could see Uncle Zhong and Li Damin looming in it, there was a kind of gloom that could not be depicted.
I turned my head sideways to look at the two people around me, Uncle Zhong was fine, and Li Damin's face was a little hesitant and scared. It's really strange that I can see black smoke in the mirror, but I can't see it in reality.
This is, of course, for the sake of the bracelet. But I still think it's weird, does the black smoke exist objectively, or does it not exist at all and it's just an illusion? Anyway, in this room, I became an other, and this phenomenon caused me to think deeply about what is subjective and what is objective.
I was thinking about it, and Uncle Zhong said, "Xiaolin, it's midnight, let's start the method, don't delay any longer." ”
I promised.
Uncle Zhong asked me to sit cross-legged in front of the mirror, which was sealed high on the wall, probably at an angle, and I could see the panorama of myself inside when I looked up.
Uncle Zhong said: "The bracelet left by Wang Yue has psychic powers. And this mirror is the key magic weapon for you to connect with her. In other words, Wang Yue left her body, and her true soul should have entered the mirror. You have to use the bracelet to get out of the mirror and contact her. ”
I was dumbfounded, this is too mysterious.
"Uncle Zhong, are you saying that Wang Yue's soul is sealed in the mirror and can't come out?" I asked, trembling.
Uncle Zhong said: "Your understanding of the meaning of mirrors is too narrow. The mirror is not a world of its own, it is just a door to another world. ”
Li Damin was very interested and asked what kind of world it was, was it the underworld? A mirror leads to the underworld? Can the mirror of my house also lead to the underworld?
Uncle Zhong frowned and scolded: "What to ask, the Buddha said that you can't say it." I want to ask about anything! ”
Li Damin shook his head, his face full of confusion that his questions could not be answered.
Uncle Zhong came behind me, pressed his hand on the top of my head, and said slowly: "Lin Cong, when I borrowed your soul, I found that you have some talent. When you were a child, did you see things that ordinary people couldn't see? ”
I thought about it carefully: "I think there were, it was a very young age, I really can't remember. Every time my dad came home, he brought back some stones, then showed me them, and asked me to tell where they came from. It seems that at that time, I could see anyone who had touched these stones. ”
"Oh?" Uncle Zhong said, "What does your father do?" ”
"Geological Exploration." I sighed silently in my heart, my father has been missing for two years.
"What about after that, there will be no similar experience?" Uncle Zhong asked.
I don't really want to talk about this topic anymore, "um", "Later, I often had a fever, and I remember when I was in kindergarten, I went to hang the bottle at every turn." My dad took me to a temple on the outskirts of Shanghai, and I can't remember what happened again, but I never had a similar experience anyway. ”
"Temples in Shanghai? Putuo Temple? Li Damin asked.
"I don't remember exactly, I was too young at the time. Looking back now, it's like a lifetime. I said.
Uncle Zhong thought thoughtfully: "Wang Yue, this girl, finally chose you, I'm afraid she also has this consideration." You close your eyes. ”
I slowly closed my eyes, and I felt that Uncle Zhong seemed to be writing on my neck with his fingers, I don't know what to write, it was very light and fast, and it was very itchy.
I couldn't help but shrink my neck, and Uncle Zhong snorted, "Don't move!" ”
I sat on the ground in one position, my eyes a little dry and I couldn't open them, so I simply closed them. At this time, the state is false sleep, saying that you can't sleep, and you don't wake up.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Lin Cong." ”
I slammed into a spirit, is it Wang Yue?! I tried to lift my head, but my head was so heavy that I couldn't lift it.
"Lin Cong, I knew you could come, and you lived up to my expectations." Wang Yue said.
I'm furious, what kind of green onion are you, you tossed me enough, do I still want your approval? I huffed and said, "Where are you?" ”
I tried to look up, but it was groggy all around, it didn't seem to be in the bedroom, but in an extremely eerie twilight outskirts, and I could even feel the feeling of a cold wind blowing through my skin. But I can't lift my head, I can't see with my eyes, and I can only see very vague things in the corner of my vision, which is a weird feeling.
Wang Yue didn't answer me, and continued: "Lin Cong, don't blame me. It took me three years to find someone like you, and I finally chose you. You're kind, smart, and seem to be a good person, and you're going to help me. You can find it here, you can hear this recording of me......"
I chuckled in my heart, thinking that it was really strange, it turned out that it was not Wang Yue, and now I heard her recording. Where is this recording stored, is it in a mirror?
“…… You have used your ingenuity to crack the mechanism I set up, which means that you have a great chance with me, and you are my nobleman. The so-called Jun Wu jokes, I have already said it, if you can really help me find my father and help him get out of the sea of suffering, I will marry you after returning to the yang, be a virtuous helper in your life, and be a qualified good wife and mother......" Wang Yue said.
I sneered when I heard it, am I rare?
Unfortunately, this is a recording, and I can't refute it directly, so I can only listen to it patiently.
"Lin Cong, you remember, I have entered the realm of bardo, and I will face several extremely difficult levels before I can rescue my father." Wang Yue said, "I need your help. You stand up now......"
I couldn't help it, so I screamed, raised my head, and finally opened my eyes, which seemed to break the shackles of a nightmare.
I was still standing in the bedroom and saw Uncle Zhong and Li Damin. Uncle Zhong held a candle to me, his eyes full of confusion.
I told what happened just now, and Uncle Zhong pondered for a moment: "You did go out of your soul and entered the mirror just now." This mirror should be some kind of mysterious space, a transit point for you and Wang Yue to communicate. The next step is to do what she says. ”
"I feel like I've been blackmailed into a thief ship step by step." I frowned: "Why doesn't anyone think about my feelings?" ”
"Your feeling is," Li Damin squeezed over and said, "If you do it, you will get a wife." If you can't do it, your wife will be empty, and you will become an idiot. Wang Yue's layout is to make you have to do it. This little woman is amazing. ”
"Damn, my scheming is so deep, if I marry her as a wife, what is the difference between marrying a Pan Jinlian white-eyed wolf, I don't know when I will be drugged by her." I said indignantly.
Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Not necessarily." Wang Yue and I have known each other for a longer time than you, she is scheming, but she is not a scheming, and she is still kind-hearted. ”
"Uncle Zhong, what did Wang Yue say she was in the bardo realm, what kind of place was that?" Li Damin asked.
Uncle Zhong asked, "Have you ever heard of the first seven?" ”
Li Damin looked at me and said he knew. It is within seven days after a person's death, which seems to be called the first seven.
Uncle Zhong nodded, twisted the beads, and said, "Within seven days of death, people have not become 'ghosts', and they have not taken the Huangquan Road into the underworld and hell, so the souls in these seven days are called bardo bodies. The place where it is located is also called the realm of bardo. That place is neither yin nor yang, and it is said to be the place under the jurisdiction of Meng Po. As soon as we said this, the mirror on the wall suddenly made two crunchy sounds, and we were startled in the silence.
Uncle Zhong said: "I saw it, there is a reaction." ”
