Wang Yue pulled me back to the bedroom, and I plucked up the courage to open the chest of drawers again, inside which was the puppet in red. I endured the discomfort and opened the puppet with my hands to check if there were any available props inside.

Suddenly, the puppet's head fell to the ground. I was shocked and my heart disease was about to occur. At this time, I saw a few words on the cabinet wall behind the puppet's head.

I quickly moved the puppet off the hook. It was dark inside, but those words were still clear, saying "Why did you harm me?"

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. I collapsed and bowed to the cabinet. Tears couldn't stop flowing out. I folded my hands and murmured: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was too young at that time, and I was speechless, please forgive me!" This sentence went over and over again, I was repenting in my heart, and I really regret it very much.

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

I wiped my tears and looked up. There was a long cylindrical object in the deepest part of the cabinet. I reached in and took it out. It turned out to be a red candle.

Wang Yue and I looked at each other, and Wang Yue sighed in a long sigh: "With this lighting tool, we can go out."

In an instant, I felt like I had taken off a huge burden, and an indescribable fatigue swept across my body.

Wang Yue said: "It's still early to get the 24-hour deadline, otherwise you can rest first."

"Where will we go after we go out? Can we find my mom?" I asked.

Wang Yue said: "After going out, it will be the second level, maybe my fourth level, or your second level. We must pass seven levels here to have the opportunity to find what we want. Let's take a break, after going out, there will be even more difficult challenges waiting for us."

My eyelids became sticky and I nodded, "Stay."

There was such a big bed in the bedroom. My legs were as hard as if they were filled with lead. They moved to the edge of the bed, and fell on it and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

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

Wang Yue whispered: "You have been sleeping for ten hours and it's almost done. It's time for us to leave."

I turned over from the bed and sat up. After a while, Wang Yue lit the candle with the last match. The flames rose slowly and swung left and right, as if there was an invisible wind in the room.

Wang Yue held a candle in front, and I was behind the hall. We both held hands, one in front of the dark corridor. It was obvious that she was very nervous, took a deep breath, and took the first step.

The corridor was particularly dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. The thick darkness turned into substance, wrapped around me. Wang Yue and I walked forward slowly.

In such darkness, time and space are different from ordinary cognition. I don’t know how long I have been away, but Wang Yue suddenly squeezed my hand tightly, and she was extremely nervous.

I saw a large cluster of very faint light moving in the depths of the darkness, far away, like the eyes of a group of creatures. My heart skipped a beat and I suddenly became nervous. Is there the second level ahead?

Nothing can be seen around, only candle flames are flashing, which can reach less than one meter. In such an environment, stress and anxiety are exponentially amplified.

The wind blew over the front, and the skin was cold. I asked Wang Yue softly what was in front of her. Her face turned pale as paper, and she shook her head and said she didn't know.

After walking for a long time, the light spots always moved in front, either up, down, left or right, always maintaining a long distance from us. This feeling is like walking under the starry night sky late at night.

The light in front was very bright, as if it was at the exit. Wang Yue held me tightly, and our mood was extremely aroused.

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

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind. 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, "this door in front of me reminds me of the strange painting I just now."

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

"What did you think of?" she asked.

I blinked: "Wang Yue, do you say that if you push this door open, will we enter the scene in the painting? When you see my father and mother? When you see this wooden door, you always unconsciously think of the ancient temple behind the door."

Wang Yue was also a little confused. At this time, the candle flame was almost burning to the bottom, and only a short piece was left.

"No matter where I go, I believe we will break through, right?" Wang Yue looked at me.

I sighed. It is impossible to turn back when I arrived here. I have to try it even if there is a dragon's and tiger's den in front of me. Besides, it is great even if I go to that ancient temple. I can just investigate the weirdness and mystery of the temple and find out the reason for my parents' death.

I pressed my hands on the door and pushed it hard. The wooden door creaked open. Wang Yue and I saw it at the same time, and were stunned when we saw it.

Outside is not the ancient temple as imagined, but a small yard with exquisite ingeniousness.

There is a big tree in the middle of the yard with twisted and thick trunks, many branches, twisted and nodules from each other, and the big tree spiraled upwards. Looking up, the sky is in a deep yellow, with no sun or moon visible, and it is as ethereal as a background cloth in the sky.

The whole scene is magnificent, with an indescribable poetic feeling inside, as if a master's painting was broken into.

We walked into the yard, took this step and the candle went out, and finally turned into a wisp of cigarettes to float away.

The candle is a symbol, symbolizing that we have successfully passed the first level and everything is over.

We stood in the yard and looked up at the 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.

Wang Yue said: "This is a Bodhi tree."

I was shocked and looked carefully. I used to listen to Bodhi tree. The Buddha was enlightened for seven days and seven nights under the Bodhi tree. I didn't expect that this was the Bodhi tree. I thought it was just a legendary tree.

The Bodhi tree in front of me is lush and green, like a cap. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I really feel extraordinary, with charm and aura.

"What should I do next?" I asked.

Wang Yue shook her head and said she didn't know.

I said, "Then let's search the yard separately to find out if there is a door?"

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

I looked back at her.

"I went to Qinghai that year," she said, "I was fortunate to see the Bodhi tree in an ancient temple. At that time, the tour guide said that when walking the Bodhi tree, we could only walk clockwise, not counterclockwise, otherwise it would be disrespectful. Therefore, we could only go left, not right."

I looked at her and nodded for a long time, "Okay."

We both started to circle the left of the big tree, observing the surrounding walls while walking around. After walking around, we found that there was no door in the yard. The entire yard was completely closed, with high walls on all sides and we couldn't even get out.

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

Wang Yue said she was a little tired and wanted to rest. We sat under the tree, which was neither cold nor hot, nor windy, and felt very comfortable. I leaned against the big tree and saw the dim sky above through the layers of leaves. I felt indescribable comfort and my whole heart was empty.

Wang Yue was close to me, and she was also looking at the sky and said softly: "Lin Cong, do you still remember the intimate text I told you?"

"Remember," I said: "You said that there are scriptures in the underworld that have fallen into the Yang world, and they record a lot of things about the underworld and the bardo. The underworld is the text from the underworld. They have magic power and energy and can form barriers. Also, my mother has a barrier of barriers on her body."

"Well," Wang Yue nodded: "Actually, after that classic was separated into the world, it was divided into two volumes, and I had the second volume in my hand."

When I heard this, I immediately became energetic and turned over and sat up and looked at her.

Wang Yue said: "It's a pity that I can't crack the negative text, and I don't know the mystery inside. I have been reading it for many years but still can't solve it. Even if I can find your mother here, I can't crack the negative text barrier. Whether she can rescue her is also a problem."

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

Wang Yue smiled bitterly: "Is it good that you are determined to save your mother? Besides, I didn't expect us to break the seven levels in one breath. This time I came in just to let you experience the mystery of the bardo realm."

I leaned on the tree dejectedly: "I really realized it."

"After going out, you have to find the first volume of Yinwen. I suspect there are comments on the first volume." Wang Yue said: "Also, your current ability is not enough to pass the seventh level of the bardo. If you have the opportunity to learn your skills after going out, come in."

The more I listened, the more I felt wrong. Why did she seem to have some explanation for the funeral?

Wang Yueyi smiled: "Let's take a break first, don't worry here."
