"You're thinking too much," Wang Yue said: "I'm so tired and I want to sleep for a while."

She closed her eyes and really fell asleep. She snored softly for a while. I looked at her, as delicate as a kitten, as if she had touched the softest part of her heart. I wanted to touch her hair, stretched out my hand and gave up. Looking at Wang Yue, thinking about her miserable childhood, my heart felt like I had been knocked over with a bottle of five flavors.

I leaned against the Bodhi tree and looked up at the dim sky. My heart was filled with infinite peace and elegance. I didn’t know when, I took a nap in a drowsy and full sleep. But this state was really comfortable and unspeakable. Apart from closing my eyes and pretending to sleep, I couldn’t find any other way to release it.

I don’t know how long it took, but I slowly opened my eyes and went to see Wang Yue beside me. I suddenly felt aroused when I saw it. I turned over and sat up, and cold sweat appeared on my head.

Wang Yue is gone!

I quickly got up, stood under the Bodhi tree, and looked around. The yard was so big, with a slap in my hand, and there was no shadow of Wang Yue in front, behind, and left and right. She was really missing.

I told myself to be calm, but my heart couldn't help but jump. I looked at the wooden door when I came. Will Wang Yue go back? I quickly walked to the door and pushed it hard. The ancient wooden door "crunched" and exposed it inside.

There was a wall in the door, and the way I came was gone. The wall was tall and large, blue-gray, and was blocked in the door, and the way I went back was closed tightly.

My head buzzed, how could this happen?

I mustered up the courage to step into the threshold, came to the wall, and pushed hard with my hands, but the thread did not move. I couldn't tell whether it was the wall that appeared again after Wang Yue entered, or the wall had already existed, and Wang Yue had never entered here at all.

When I returned to the yard, everything was so calm, without any wind and waves, and the leaves of the Bodhi tree were motionless. The whole scene was like a full-colored oil painting.

I shouted Wang Yue's name loudly, but no one responded at all. She was indeed gone.

I took a few deep breaths, closed my eyes and tried to relieve my nervousness. I had made a judgment that Wang Yue must have found a way to leave here, so she left first.

But why didn't she ask me to go with me? What's the reason for being forced here?

I came to the tree and was about to circle around and see if I found anything. Just as I was about to turn right, I suddenly remembered that Wang Yue said that I should not go around the tree counterclockwise. As soon as this thought came out, I seemed to have thought of something.

I stood there and frowned and thought, touched my chin with my hand. The more I thought about it, the clearer the thought became. There was a coolness on my back. I thought of a possibility, would Wang Yue walk the tree counterclockwise and then go out from here?

I looked at the right side of the tree, my heart was pounding. Should I try it?

I was about to lift my foot, but I shrank back because I couldn't tell whether this idea was correct. Once it was wrong, it would likely cause other unpredictable results, which would be troublesome at that time.

I thought about it and walked clockwise around the left side of the big tree. I went around like this and when I was about to return to the origin, I suddenly found that the trunk of the big tree had some texture, as if it was made intentionally by someone.

This texture must have been missing at the beginning. I quickly stepped forward and was stunned when I saw it.

The texture pattern turned out to be a word that someone used a sharp weapon to carve crookedly on the tree trunk, which read: Lin Cong, I'm very sorry, I'll leave first.

I immediately realized that it was Wang Yue who stayed there. I definitely couldn't find the location of this passage when I woke up. I had to go around for a while to see it.

I touched these words with my hands, feeling a little annoyed. What the hell is Wang Yue doing?

There is another message below: Lin Cong, when I walked here, I actually already know what the next level is. This Bodhi tree has a deep connection with me. The next level is about my difficulty. It is very difficult. I can't drag you into the water, so I left first. Lin Cong, you are very smart, but you are not suitable for passing the level in the bardo realm now. This is a very dangerous thing. If you turn right along the Bodhi tree, you will leave the bardo realm. Remember what I said after you go out. Come in and save your mother after you finish your studies. Goodbye.

It can be seen that when Wang Yue carved this paragraph, each character was exerting force. Although it was crooked, each stroke seemed to be penetrated through the back of the paper.

For some reason, my eyes were a little wet and I had the urge to cry.

I took a long breath and my nose moved. I firmly remembered every word she wrote, and then walked firmly around the right side of the Bodhi tree...

It was like having a long dream, I slowly woke up, opened my eyes, and returned to the bedroom.

Opposite was Wang Yue's body. The girl closed her eyes and looked like a smile, obviously she had not come back in the realm.

I slowly stood up, and Li Damin came in from outside. He was not surprised and just said lightly: "You are back."

I made a gesture and signaled to go out and say.

We came to the living room outside. I looked at my watch and it was only four hours later, and it was about to dawn. I rubbed my temples and realized that the time in the bardo realm was not equal to the real time.

Li Damin made two cups of coffee and handed me one. We sat facing each other.

While drinking strong coffee, I told the situation of the bardo realm.

Li Damin listened very carefully throughout the process. When he heard the key points, he also recorded the key points with paper and pen, writing and painting. By the time I finished speaking, it was already bright outside and the sun shone through the window.

Li Damin picked up the paper and looked at it, saying, "Wang Yue has already gone to her fourth level."

I nodded.

"Then can we still contact her?" Li Damin asked.

I thought about it and said, "There should be a way. If she wants to contact me, she will have a way." I shook my wrist and pressed the bracelet on it: "Wang Yue told me that this bracelet can directly reach the bardo realm and have the ability to communicate with others. Maybe through this in the future, she can contact me."

Li Damin said: "After hearing you just now, I have summarized a few rules of the bardo realm, listen."

I motioned for him to say.

"First, after everyone reaches the bardo realm, there seem to be seven passes." Li Damin said: "After you have passed these seven passes, you seem to have the opportunity to satisfy your wishes."

I nodded: "That's what it means."

"The seven gates also conform to the folk saying of the first seven miles and seven days of the bardo body." Li Damin said, and realized that "perhaps the retention time of the bardo body is not what we think is the seven days, but is determined by the seven gates."

I thought about it and said, "It makes sense. The time of each level is limited to the bardo time within 24 hours, and the bardo time and the real time do not match. It seems that there is another time system, so it cannot be said to be seven days to be sure."

Li Damin wrote a few strokes on the paper and said, "The problem of time is too complicated. I can't figure it out for a while, so I can only draw such a conclusion temporarily. The second rule is that the difficulty of these seven levels is gradually increasing."

I nodded, it was indeed the case.

Li Damin sighed: "I can't imagine what kind of test the seventh level of the last level will be. Can anyone pass such a test?"

"I'm afraid that's the final judgment." I said.

Li Damin thoughtful: "From your first level and Wang Yue's first three levels, each level is not aimless, but related to your experience and mood. In other words, people should still do good deeds. If they bear too many sins and are too heavy, the test of entering the bardo will be extremely difficult to be very concentric."

I agree with this.

"There is another point. If two people or more people enter the bardo together," he said: "Then the levels and mechanisms inside will also change. One more person will have another variable."

"I have doubts about this," I said, "From my experience with Wang Yue, if we enter a stage scene, then this level will only follow the test of one of them and have little to do with the other. But if we pass this level, what will be the next level, it may be."

Li Damin thought about it, shook his head gently, expressing his disagreement.

He did not worry about this rule anymore and said, "By the way, Wang Yue said she has a negative text volume. Does she tell you where it is? I think it may have recorded more secrets and information, which can help us more."

I slapped my thigh, yes, why did I forget this?

"But Wang Yue said she couldn't crack it," I said, "Even if we get this kind of heavenly book, it's useless."

Li Damin thought for a while and said, "Any words are always in the same way. If she can't untie it, it doesn't mean we can't untie it either. Lao Lin, I don't think we can't anxious about this. I felt very sympathetic to your mother's affairs, but we can't be confused. I think it's better to find the intimate classics as Wang Yue said, and let's take a look first. Once you decipher, you can know yourself and your enemy and win every battle. Now we have too little knowledge of that world."

"Okay, I agree with this." I said.

Li Damin didn't sleep all night, but he was very energetic. He pulled me to search Wang Yue's room and found no evil book. We asked us to dig out all the books in the study. We read each one, but we really didn't find it, not even suspicious.

I searched it once, and it was already noon. We were sleepy and hungry. We ordered two takeouts. After dinner, we each rested.

After sleeping until dark, he and I came to Wang Yue's bedroom. Wang Yue's body was still sitting there motionless, and there was no sign of her rejuvenation. I did not receive any special information.
