Chapter Seventy-Four: The Third Floor of Shunyi Zhai
The staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor is made of iron, and it feels empty when you step on it, as if your feet are shaking.
Uncle Bo and Xiao Ling didn't tell me what was on the third floor, so I had to grope cautiously, for fear that there was something strange on it.
The stairs were short, and it took me two minutes to reach the end of the stairs.
The door to the third floor was an old iron door, and I could even smell a hint of rust when I stood in front of it, and there was a thick iron chain hanging from the door, and a lock the size of my fist hung on it.
I reached out and touched it, as if ..... The lock is open!
Could it be that Uncle Bo forgot to lock it when they came out?
I gently took off the thick iron chain and put it on the ground, not daring to make a sound during the whole process, for fear of waking Uncle Bo up.
As soon as I put the chain on the stairs, the iron door made a very soft "squeak" and opened in.
It was pitch black inside, as if there was not even a single window, and not a trace of moonlight could shine in.
I walked up to the third floor, pulled my phone out of my pocket, and found the flash and pressed it.
A bright light flashed, and the third floor was suddenly half illuminated. It's just that no one seems to have been here for a long time, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust, and footprints are imprinted on the places where my feet have been stepped.
It's strange, it seems that Uncle Bo and they didn't come up, so why is the lock on that chain open?
I couldn't figure out why, so I had to focus on my surroundings.
The third floor is also a large space, with two wooden bookshelves against the wall, right next to me, and a lot of books neatly placed on them, but these books are also covered with thick dust.
I picked up a copy and looked at it, and the title of the book was "Metaphysics Defeated by Science".
It seems a bit ironic, but I, who have experienced science education and have always been firm in not believing in ghosts and gods, have just come out of the underworld, and now I see this kind of related topic, which is indeed a bit strange.
Putting the book back in its place, I took my phone and continued to take pictures elsewhere.
It seemed as if there was nothing left of the entire third floor except for the two bookshelves, and just as I was about to give up and about to retreat, something covered by a black cloth suddenly caught my attention.
This thing was in the far corner of the room, and it was tightly covered with a black cloth, and the black cloth was also covered with dust, and it should have been a long time since anyone touched it.
The doubts in my heart drove me slowly towards the thing covered by the black cloth.
When I walked in, I realized that it was a cuboid thing, about two meters long.
When I saw that this thing was a rectangle, I was already a little panicked, and at the same time I had a certain guess in my heart.
I crouched down, reached out and grabbed a corner of the black cloth, lifting it up slightly, while aiming the flash at the underside of the black cloth.
Really! It's a coffin!
I almost didn't sit on the ground with weak legs, who would have thought that Uncle Bo and Xiao Ling would lock a coffin on the third floor?!
I grabbed the black cloth and pulled it down, the dust on the black cloth flew up, and the whole room was filled with dust, so I coughed hard several times, I hurriedly grabbed my neck to stop the coughing, and then held my breath and listened, after five minutes, I saw that there was no movement downstairs, and I breathed a sigh.
Looking back at this coffin, I found that the coffin was very exquisite, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and it looked a little majestic!
But.... Why is the dragon carved on the coffin?
Puzzled, I slowly stood up and found that this coffin had no lid!
That's not right! When the black cloth is on the top, the top of the coffin is clearly round, which means that there should be a dome lid!
I looked at the darkness in the coffin, unconsciously moved forward, and then slowly looked down.
In the coffin, there was a blanket with blue and white patterns, a gray pillow on it, and ..... And me?!
I thought my eyes were glazed, so I reached out and rubbed it vigorously, and when I looked inside, "I" was indeed still lying inside!
Or rather, it's another me!
That Shen Huai had an extremely peaceful expression on his face, his eyes were slightly closed, and his cheeks were still a little flushed.
He was wearing a very clean plain blue robe, his hands were stacked flat on his lower abdomen, and he seemed to be holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand.
I swallowed my saliva, tremblingly stretched out my hand, and took out the yellow paper, the yellow paper was very soft, more like a cloth, I slowly unfolded the yellow paper, and found that there were two lines of words written on it:
"One yang is moving, two surnames are harmonious, please three more, four beauties, and the fifth generation of its advocacy of the wind. The six rites are completed, the seven sages are completed, the eight tones are made, the songs are nine and the harmony is perfect. ”
Behind are two names: "Husband: Shen Huai, Wife: Lingyu." ”
What is it?! My marriage certificate?
"Shen Huai! What are you doing?! ”
Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the staircase, like the sound of a bell, that burst through my brain, and shook me all over my body.
Looking up again, Uncle Bo and Hong Aya were standing at the top of the stairs, looking at me incredulously.
"I ..... I just want to come up and have a look, nothing else......"
"Get out of the coffin!" Uncle Bo interrupted me in one bite, his words full of anxiety.
I? Out of the coffin? Hearing this, I glanced down.
It's just that this look almost didn't scare my soul out!
