Ma Jian took the clothes out of the bag and said, "It's okay, I can do anything, you ......"

When Ma Tan took those clothes out of the bag and saw them clearly, he was shocked, threw them on the ground, pointed at the third uncle and scolded: "Stinky old man, are you sick?" How can you give us these dead man's clothes? ”

The clothes that Ma Jian threw away were scattered on the ground, and they were clearly three shrouds.

The third uncle hurriedly picked up the shroud and whispered to Ma Yan, "What are you shouting?" What the fuss, what's wrong with the shroud? I also told you that these three clothes were not bought in a shroud shop, but were taken off the body of a dead man. Put this on and go in and you'll be able to save your life. If you don't wear it, you won't rely on me when you die......"

"What are you kidding, you can save your life by wearing this?" Ma Tan pursed his lips and looked at me again: "Yoko, is this true?" ”

I smiled wryly, I still have a say in the matter of wearing shrouds.

When the third uncle took me to build the first house, he once asked me to wear this shroud, and I entered the deserted building at that time. It is said that wearing a shroud can cover the yang energy on our body, that is, to give the ghosts inside a trick.

But he didn't say that it was the clothes that were ripped off the dead man's body, I knew in my heart that I was cheated by the third uncle again. If I had known that a dead man had worn it, I wouldn't have worn it if I had been killed.

But at this time and at that time, after so many things, life and death have also opened up a lot for me. So although there is also resistance to the shroud, the psychological tolerance is better than that of Ma Yan.

Seeing Ma Tan ask me, I nodded at him: "Old Ma, this shroud can indeed block the yang energy on our bodies, and after entering, those ghosts will not be able to find us." ”

When the third uncle heard this, he pointed at me and said to Ma Yan: "Did you hear it, blame the old man, you don't believe me, don't you believe my eldest nephew?" Stop talking nonsense, put it on quickly, it's all for your good, and it looks like it's hurting you. ”

Ma Yan was skeptical, and first saw that my third uncle and I had put the shroud on our bodies, so he shook off his own one and put it on his body with gritted teeth.

"Stinky Daoist, it's all unreliable, does this thing work?"

Listening to Ma Tan's chatter, the third uncle said angrily: "Old horse head, if you don't want to wear it, you won't wear it." Don't say I'm unreliable, okay? ”

Ma Tan said that after listening to what the third uncle said, he still wore the shroud on his body.

I'm funny in my heart, when I put on a dress, two people will quarrel.

The three of us each put on our own shrouds, and it was awkward to look at each other. The third uncle told again: "Go in later, I'll go in front, you follow me, don't talk when I don't let you speak." When you get to the place where you can speak, I will naturally give you a signal. Got it? ”

Ma Jian and I both nodded, indicating that we understood.

I know that what the third uncle said is not alarmist, except for the room with a tree in this hotel, the other places are not peaceful. If we don't get it right, we'll hardly make it to that room alive.

The third uncle took out a compass from his bag, held it in his hand, and prepared to enter through the door of the hotel

Go.

I reminded the third uncle: "Last time we were wearing a shroud, didn't we pinch the incense in our hands?" ”

The third uncle shook his head: "There is death on this shroud today, so there is no need to offer incense." You can light a white wax light behind me. ”

Ma Jian said: "I have a flashlight. ”

The third uncle waved his hand: "We are wearing shrouds, have you ever seen a flashlight illuminated in the mourning hall?" Aren't they all candles? ”

Ma Tan was robbed of a sentence by the third uncle, and then stopped talking.

The third uncle held the compass, I lit a white candle and followed him, and Ma Jian was at the end.

The three of us walked into the Art Garden Hotel in turn.

After entering the hotel, it was the expected cold. It's usually like this in this kind of place, obviously there can't be wind, but you can always feel the wind blowing on your face, and the wind is like a knife, and it hurts your face.

Since we didn't have a flashlight this time, only a candle in my hand to light it, the light was even darker. That candlelight in this building is not even a spark.

The third uncle held the compass and walked around the hall on the first floor first, as if he didn't find anything abnormal, so he waved his hand and walked to the stairwell next to him.

Entering the stairwell, I suddenly remembered that I had been trapped on this staircase with Fat Dahai before. So I stepped forward and pulled a handful of the third uncle's clothes, and the third uncle glanced at me and whispered, "What's the matter?" ”

I saw the third uncle talking, obviously this place can talk. He reminded him that the staircase had been very strange and reminded him to pay attention.

The third uncle nodded: "I know what happened to you last time, it was when you met the Soul Ladder." ”

"Soul ladder? What is a Soul Ladder? ”

The third uncle explained: "The Soul Ladder is a general term, and it is not necessarily used on stairs. This phenomenon also occurs on many flat lands or hillsides. There are two theories about the Soul Ladder, one is the structure theory, and the other is the ghost and god theory. This structure has always been controversial, and many people, including scientists and metaphysicians, have argued that this problem is one of the difficult puzzles to solve. The original meaning is a staircase, forming a roundabout, end to end, but you are always walking uphill or downhill. ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I felt with the fat man." But third uncle, this is theoretically impossible. How can a staircase that either goes up or down, like the stairs on the first and second floors, be connected end to end? ”

The third uncle glared at me: "If this question is like you think, can it still be called an intractable mystery?" This Soul Ladder is special here. If you're interested, when we go back, you can check it on the Internet, and the discussion about the Soul Ladder has not stopped. The staircase structure here is supposed to be a kind of soul ladder, but I think it's more likely that it is the supernatural cause. ”

I asked again, "Then do you think this kind of soul ladder belongs to metaphysics or science?" ”

Ma Tan interjected: "Actually, for this kind of thing, I think so, I feel that in a dark environment, through the clever use of shadows and special signs to lead people to a fork in the road without being aware of it, plus the slope is very small, as long as the length is long enough, it will cause uphill and downhill."

It doesn't feel very distinct, so it has the effect of being cyclical. In other words, this kind of slope is actually composed of steps, but this step should have a slope, but the slope is too small to be noticed, so that it is possible to turn unconsciously or something. Of course, this is only a scientific analysis. I don't know what you mean by the metaphysical perspective. ”
