Wang Yue dragged me back to the bedroom, and I mustered up the courage to open the chest of drawers again, and inside was the puppet in red clothes. Holding back the discomfort, I pushed the puppet away with my hands to check if there were any props available.

Suddenly, the puppet's head fell to the ground, and I was startled, and I was about to have a heart attack. At this time, I saw a few words on the cabinet wall behind the puppet's head.

I quickly removed the puppet from the coat hook, and it was black, but the words were still relatively clear, and it was written "Why are you hurting me".

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, my whole body collapsed, I bowed to the cupboard, tears couldn't stop flowing out, my hands were folded, and I muttered: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was too young at that time, I don't choose what to say, please forgive me!" This sentence is said over and over again, I am repenting from the bottom of my heart, and I really regret it.

At this time, Wang Yue whispered, "Lin Cong, there is something in the cabinet." ”

I wiped my tears and looked up to see that there was a long cylindrical thing in the deepest part of the cabinet, and I reached in and took it out, and it was actually a red candle.

Wang Yue and I glanced at each other, and Wang Yue let out a long sigh of relief: "With this lighting tool, we can go out." ”

In an instant, I felt like I had lifted a thousand pounds of burden, and an indescribable tiredness swept through my body.

Wang Yue said: "It's still early before the 24-hour deadline, otherwise let's rest first." ”

"Where will we go when we go out? Can I find my mother? I asked.

Wang Yue said: "After you go out, it will be the second level, which may be my fourth level, or your second level." We'll have to beat seven levels here to have a chance to find what we're looking for. Let's rest and rest, after we get out, there are more difficult challenges waiting for us. ”

My eyelids thickened and I nodded, "Rest, rest." ”

There happened to be such a large bed in the bedroom, and my legs were like lead, and I struggled to move to the edge of the bed, and I fell on it and fell into a groggy sleep.

I didn't dream, the sleep was very sweet, like a white horse passing through a gap, it seemed very short and it seemed very long. I was sleeping comfortably and was woken up by Wang Yue, and my whole mental state was very good.

Wang Yue whispered: "You've slept for ten hours, it's almost over, we should go." ”

I rolled over from the bed and sat up, sober up, Wang Yue lit the candle with the last match, and the flame rose and swayed from side to side, as if there was an invisible wind in the room.

Wang Yue was holding a candle in front, and I was behind the back hall, and the two of us held hands, one after the other, and came to the dark corridor. It could be seen that she was very nervous, took a deep breath, and took the first step.

The corridor was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and the thick darkness turned into substance, wrapped around it. Wang Yue and I walked forward slowly.

In such darkness, time and space are not the same as ordinary cognition, I don't know how long I walked, Wang Yue suddenly squeezed my hand tightly, she was extremely nervous.

I saw the depths of the darkness, far away, as if there was a large and very faint point of light moving, like the eyes of a group of creatures. I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly became nervous, could it be that there is the second level ahead?

There was nothing to be seen around them, except for the flickering of candles, which shone less than a meter away. In such an environment, stress and anxiety are magnified exponentially.

There was a wind blowing in front of me, and it was cool on the skin. I asked Wang Yue softly, what is the place ahead. Her face was as white as paper, and she shook her head and said she didn't know.

After walking for a long time, those points of light are always moving in front of us, up or down or left or right, always keeping a long distance from us, this feeling is like walking under the starry night sky in the middle of the night.

The light in front of you was very bright, as if you had reached an exit. Wang Yue pulled me tightly, and our emotions were stirred to the extreme.

Walking towards the light, there was a wooden door in front of him, Wang Yue held a candle and looked at it, the style of the door was very old, and it was full of carved patterns, which looked like the door in the temple.

I suddenly had an idea, Wang Yue wanted to push the door out, and I grabbed her.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yue asked softly.

"I don't know why," I said, "the door in front of me reminds me of that strange painting." ”

The content of the painting is the experience of the geological exploration team to the ancient temple.

"What do you think?" She asked.

I blinked: "Wang Yue, you said that if you open this door, will we enter the scene in the painting?" See my mom and dad? When I saw this wooden door, I always unconsciously thought that behind the door was the ancient temple. ”

Wang Yue was also a little hesitant, at this time the flame of the candle had almost burned to the bottom, and only a short section was left.

"No matter where we go, I'm sure we're going to get there, right?" Wang Yue looked at me.

I sighed, walking here, it is impossible to turn back, and the front is Longtan Tiger's Den to try. Besides, even if you go to that ancient temple, it's good to investigate the strangeness and mystery of the temple and find the cause of your parents' death.

I pressed my hands on the door and pushed hard, and the wooden door "creaked" open, and Wang Yue and I looked out at the same time, and we were stunned.

Outside is not an imaginary ancient temple, but an elaborate small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard was a large tree with a twisted and thick trunk, many branches, twisted and knotted with each other, and the tree spiraled upward. Looking up, the sky is a deep yellow in the style of an oil painting, with no sun or moon in sight, and it is like a background cloth ethereal in the distance.

The whole scene is beautiful, and there is an indescribable poetry in it, as if breaking into a master's painting.

We walked out into the courtyard, and with that step the candle went out, and finally turned into a wisp of cigarette smoke and drifted away.

The candle is a sign that we have successfully passed the first hurdle and that it is all over.

We stood in the yard and looked up at this big tree, Wang Yue said, "Lin Cong, do you know what kind of tree this is?" ”

I shook my head and asked her what tree it was.

Wang Yue said, "This is the Bodhi tree. ”

I was amazed, and when I looked closely, I used to hear about the Bodhi Tree Bodhi Tree, and the Buddha was enlightened under the Bodhi Tree for seven days and seven nights, but I didn't expect this to be the Bodhi Tree. I thought it was just a legendary tree.

The Bodhi tree in front of me is lush and green, like a crown, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, it does feel otherworldly, with charm and aura.

"What's next?" I asked.

Wang Yue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

I said, "Then let's split up and search the yard to see if there is a door?" ”

Because the big tree was in the middle, we looked for it separately, and we could only go one to the left and one to the right, and I was about to leave, when Wang Yue suddenly stopped me: "Lin Cong, I remembered something." ”

I looked back at her.

"I went to Qinghai that year," she said, "and I was lucky enough to see the Bodhi tree in an old temple. At that time, the tour guide said that when walking the Bodhi tree, you can only walk clockwise, not counterclockwise, otherwise it will be disrespectful. So, we can only go to the left, not to the right. ”

I looked at her and nodded, "Okay." ”

The two of us started to walk around the left side of the tree, observing the surrounding walls as we went, and after walking around, we found that there was no door in the courtyard. The whole courtyard is completely closed, with high walls on all sides, and you can't get out.

We walked around again, and still didn't find anything.

Wang Yue said that she was a little tired and wanted to rest. We sat under the tree, which was neither cold nor hot, and there was no wind, which made us feel very comfortable. I leaned against the big tree, looking through the layers of leaves and looking at the dusky sky above, there was an indescribable comfort, and my whole heart was empty.

Wang Yue was next to me, she was also looking at the sky, and said softly, "Lin Cong, do you remember the Yin text I told you?" ”

"Remember," I said, "you said that there is a book in the underworld that has been passed down to the yang world, and it contains a lot of things about the underworld and the bardo realm. Yin scripts are words from the underworld, they have mana and energy, and can form enchantments. He also said that my mother had a Yin text enchantment on her body. ”

"Well," Wang Yue nodded: "Actually, after that classic fell into the yang world, it was divided into two volumes, and I have the next volume in my hand." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to my senses, rolled over and sat up to look at her.

Wang Yue said: "It's a pity that I can't crack the Yin text, and I don't know the mystery inside, I still can't solve it after reading it for many years." Even if you can find your mother here, you can't break the Yin Barrier, and it's a question of whether you can rescue her. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" I said.

Wang Yue smiled bitterly: "Is it good for you to save your mother's heart?" Besides, I didn't expect us to break through the seven levels in one go, and this time I just came in to let you experience the mysteries of the bardo realm. ”

I leaned against the tree: "I really realized it." ”

"After you go out, you have to find the upper volume of the Yin script, I suspect that the upper volume has annotations." Wang Yue said: "Also, your current ability is not enough to break through the seven levels of the bardo, if you have the opportunity to learn a skill after you go out, you will come in again." ”

The more I listened, the more wrong it became, how could she seem to have a bit of an explanation for the future.

Wang Yue smiled: "Let's rest first, we can't be in a hurry here." ”

"Are you hiding something from me?" I asked, confused.
