Chapter 33 Vase

I was shocked by this change. These four colors look like puzzles of some kind of game. You must align the colors to open the mechanism.

I asked Wang Yue what he thought.

Wang Yue shook her head blankly and gently touched the ring. You could see from her frown brow that she had no idea.

We two gathered in front of the cabinet to study. At this moment, I suddenly saw something flashing through the depths of the gap in the cabinet door.

I curiously stuck out my butt, aimed my eyes at the gap in the door, and was about to look in. Suddenly, an eye appeared deep in the gap, looking at me from the inside!

I was completely unprepared and screamed, my scalp exploded, so scared that I sat on the ground.

Wang Yue hurried over to help me, "What's wrong with you?"

I stuttered, "There is someone in the cabinet. I'm looking at me."

Wang Yue pulled me up, she leaned over and looked at it, and said in confusion that there was no one. I held her hand, and my palms were full of sweat. I looked over with my courage. I was frightened when I saw it. The eye was obviously still there and was looking outside.

My hair suddenly rose up and pointed inside and said, "You can't see?"

Wang Yue shook her head and said nothing.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and told her not to joke.

Wang Yue was a little angry: "Is it time to joke now? Am I such a person without any importance?"

I murmured, can I see it alone?

Wang Yue said curiously: "Is the person inside watching you?"

I stood next to the cabinet and plucked up the courage to take a look again. The eye was still there. When Wang Yue reminded me, I suddenly realized something was wrong. The eye was not staring at me. I stood next to the cabinet. If the eye was looking at me, then the eye should be moving with me, but at this moment, the eye was just looking straight ahead.

I told Wang Yue about this discovery. Wang Yue was thinking. She looked across the cabinet and I followed her to look along. Not far from the cabinet was the bed, and behind the bed was the desk. There was nothing special. Nothing seemed to be true. No, there was one.

Wang Yue and I were on the desk, and there was a round vase on the table.

I looked at the eyes in the cabinet and then at the vase. I became more and more sure that the eye was staring at the vase.

This is the bardo realm, and everything that appears is not given for nothing. Is there anything wrong with the vase?

Wang Yue and I walked over at the same time and came to the vase. The vase had celadon on the outside, which felt smooth to the touch, and the belly in the upper and middle parts was very large. I picked it up and looked inside, and it was empty. I casually put the vase head down and fell down, and there was nothing inside.

Wang Yue said softly: "Lin Cong, move the vase to see if your eyes are following it."

Don’t say that this girl is smart, I moved the vase on the table for a distance, and then looked at the eyes in the cabinet. Their eyes really changed. It was really following the vase.

"This is a reminder." Wang Yue said: "The key to our cracking seems to be on this vase."

I could not imagine what could be tricky in a vase. I looked over and over again.

I was outlining a big clue in my mind. Now I can basically confirm that the door we went out was deep in the corridor. It was too dark. If I wanted to go out, I had to have lighting tools. Currently, the lighting tools are only the desk lamp outside and the matches found by Wang Yue.

So what does the relationship between matches and the vase in front of you? Celadon vases are not combustible.

The clues also include the weird paintings on the wall and the chest of drawers in this room. Can these be linked together? My head is a little explosive.

I bounced the vase with my fingers. A strange thing happened, and a trace of texture appeared on the bounced part. Wang Yue and I looked at each other, and I bounced the surrounding area with my fingers. Sure enough, the texture was generated with the knocking. I kept bounced, and the texture gradually became connected, and the area became larger and larger, forming a pattern.

When this pattern appeared, Wang Yue and I were both stunned.

This pattern is a lotus flower, and the technique used is to outline the painting. The thin lines are intricately complex, forming layers of lotus petals. Wang Yue looked at me and shouted: "That painting outside!"

I held the vase and ran out with Wang Yue and went to the living room outside. Wang Yue raised the desk lamp to shine on the painting on the wall.

This painting is a scene of a group of explorers entering the temple, with a woman in it looking particularly like my mother.

At this time, our focus is not on these people, but on the lampstand on the incense table in the painting. The lampstand is in the shape of a lotus flower, blooming layer by layer, and the painting skills are extremely exquisite.

I held up the vase and compared the pattern on it with the lotus lantern in the painting. It was exactly the same lotus, and even the subtle details were very consistent.

"This is a reminder," Wang Yue said: "The key thing is the lotus lantern in the painting!"

I put the vase aside and gently stroked the lotus lantern on the painting with my hands. What secret is it hidden? Wang Yue stood aside, frowned tightly, and could not see the clues.

"What are your thoughts?" I asked.

Wang Yue frowned: "I don't know, think about it, this painting did not appear for no reason. Can you recall your experience about this painting?"

I quickly stretched out my hands: "I can be 100% sure that I have never experienced the contents of the painting. I definitely haven't been to this temple."

"You said this person looks like your mother?" Wang Yue pointed at one of the people at the door.

At this time, the light in the painting changed again, and the man fell into darkness, his facial features were out of sight, and he could not judge.

My mind was in a mess, my eyes were fixed on the lotus lantern, and I looked at the explorers in the painting in the windbreaker, as if I had thought of something but didn't think about it.

As I thought about it, I suddenly shuddered, as if I could connect it, lampstand, matches...

I looked at Wang Yue, and Wang Yue looked back at me, frightened by my eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

"I suddenly thought of something," I said, "The lotus lantern in the painting is extinguished, which means it has something to do with fire. And you found the match again. Will these two have any connection?"

Wang Yue took out the matchbox from her pocket and gently pulled it open. There were only two matches in the box.

"What do you mean is that you can use matches to light the lamp in the painting?" Wang Yue said softly.

My throat moved. To be honest, I didn't think about this. It was too outrageous. I just had a thought and denied it.

I just guessed that there was something wrong with the two, but I was not so envisioned that I thought that the matches in reality could ignite the lamp in a painting.

I asked, “Can you?”

"You can try it." Wang Yue said: "This is the bardo realm, and anything outrageous can happen."

I took out a match from the matchbox, and Wang Yue suddenly said, "But we need to be mentally prepared."

"What does it mean?" I asked.

Wang Yue pointed to the matchbox: "There are only two matches here, which means we only have two chances to ignite. The number of matches matches matches the corresponding mechanism. If we guess wrongly, we will waste a match. Then if there is another chance to ignite the fire later, we will have no choice."

I didn't expect this to happen, and blinked and said, "One carrot and one pit?"

"That's what it means." She nodded: "If you waste key props, even if you find the corresponding mechanism later, you will not be able to crack it."

When she said this, I immediately felt the harshness.

I hesitated a little: "Will you use this time?"

"You decide." Wang Yue said gently: "Even if we can't get out again, I'm happy because I'm with you."

This touched me a little. To be honest, I have a relationship with her, but the previous struggle has become increasingly weak. Now that I have experienced what happened here with her, I suddenly feel that having such a girlfriend is actually quite good.

I looked at the painting, then the matches in my hand, and thought for a while and said, "Then use it. Anyway, I have to use it, so it's boring to keep it."

Wang Yue said "yes".

I slowly wiped the match, the flames burned, slowly moved the matches, and aimed the flames at the lotus lantern on the painting.

The closer I get, the more I regret it. I think this idea is a bit ridiculous. Can it be ignited? It’s okay to waste a match, but once the painting is ignited, will the whole house be in flames?

But there is no turning back when shooting archery. Now it is like this, so I can only grit my teeth and gamble.

The match head was finally stuck to the painting, and the flames licked the drawing paper, and my heart was beating as if it was jumping out of the cavity. Half a second, one second... After that, a trace of smoke suddenly appeared on the wick of the lotus seed lampstand, and then it ignited, and a small flame popped out. As the flames appeared, the matches in my hand suddenly disappeared and turned into nothing.

Wang Yue and I looked at each other, we patted our palms, and shouted excitedly, "Yeah!"

We guessed it right!

The lotus lantern ignited, and the scene in the painting began to change. Wang Yue and I seemed to be watching a movie. On the painting, the explorer in front of the incense table raised his body, and the explorers at the back door walked into the temple together.

A man who came in later raised his hand, pointed at the man in front of the incense table and said loudly, as if he was blaming him. This is a painting, and he can only see the dynamic picture evolution and cannot hear the sound.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the person behind seemed to be accusing the person in front of me, that he should not move around privately and ignite the lotus lantern.
