The years of reselling the haunted house

Since we didn't use a flashlight this time, only a candle in my hand was lit, so the light was even darker.That little candle is not even a single spark in this building.

Holding the compass, the third uncle first turned around in the hall on the first floor. Seemingly noticing anything unusual, he waved his hand and walked to the next stairwell.

Entering the stairwell, I suddenly remembered that I and Pang Dahai were trapped on this staircase before.Then he stepped forward and pulled the third uncle's clothes. The third uncle glanced at me and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

I saw my third uncle talking, and it is obvious that we can talk here.So I reminded him that the stairs used to be weird, and reminded him to pay attention.

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

"The Hanging Soul Ladder? What is the Hanging Soul Ladder?"

The third uncle explained: "The hanging soul ladder is a general term, not necessarily used on stairs. This phenomenon also exists on many flat lands or hillsides. There are two versions of the hanging soul ladder, one is the structure theory, and the other is the structure theory." It is the theory of ghosts and gods. This structure has always been controversial. Many people, including scientists and metaphysicians, have demonstrated this problem. It is one of the most difficult puzzles. The original meaning refers to a staircase that forms a roundabout, and you want to connect it from the beginning to the end, but you Walking on it is always uphill or downhill."

I nodded and said: "Yes, that's what Fatty and I felt at the time. But third uncle, this is theoretically impossible. A staircase can either go up or down, such as the stairs on the first floor and the second floor. How can it be connected end to end?"

The third uncle glared at me: "If this question is as you think, can it still be called a mystery? This hanging soul ladder is special here. If you are interested, you can look it up online when we go back. Check, the discussion about the hanging soul ladder has never stopped. The structure of the stairs here should be a kind of hanging soul ladder, but I think the reason for it is more likely to be spiritual."

I asked again: "Then do you think this hanging soul ladder belongs to metaphysics or science?"

Ma Di interjected and said: "Actually, I think so about this kind of thing. I feel that in a dark environment, people are led off the road by skillful use of shadows and special signs without realizing it. In addition, the slope is originally small. , as long as the length is long enough, it will cause the feeling of uphill and downhill is not very clear, so as to achieve the effect of endless circulation. That is to say, this kind of slope is actually composed of steps, but the steps should be There is a slope, but the slope is too small to be noticed, so that it is possible to turn or something without anyone noticing. Of course, this is only analyzed from a scientific point of view. The metaphysical point of view you mentioned , I don't know."

Chapter 279 Discovering Ghosts

The third uncle waved his hand and said impatiently: "Stop it, I've confused you all, is it time to discuss this now? Now that the hanging soul ladder doesn't exist anymore, go upstairs without worry. But go up the stairs After that, if I don’t give you a signal, you should stop talking.”

Both Ma Su and I agreed.

The third uncle held the compass and walked up the stairs. After walking up the stairs for a few steps, I found that the surrounding area was foggy again.

This kind of fog is the most troublesome, almost every place where there is a cloudy atmosphere, there will be fog.Although the fog is non-toxic, walking in the fog will make you lose your way.

Last time, I still relied on Hei Hujie's guidance to bump into the bathroom by mistake.But that is not a way out.

It was the same this time, the fog covered the surroundings, and the invisible pressure made people breathless.

The three of us had only the little white candle in my hand.Candlelight is simply insignificant in this dark mist.That candlelight was simply not enough to break through the fog and illuminate the front.

This kind of darkness and mist can only be illuminated by the five emperors ritual Buddha lamp.But the third uncle didn't mean to take out the five emperors' lanterns, he still walked forward with the compass in his hand.It's just that the speed is much slower. Every few steps, I look at the compass for a while.

So we were moving extremely slowly, and we didn't know what Uncle San was looking at.

Fortunately, we are walking on the stairs, and it is difficult to get lost, because there is only one way.

But there are only four floors in this building, and the stairs always come to an end.Sure enough, as the third uncle said, this time we did not encounter the Hanging Soul Ladder, and there was no dark wall to trap us.Third Uncle turned a corner with the compass in hand, and we had already left the stairwell.

Since the third uncle led the way, I followed behind and didn't know which floor we were on at this time.

In the dark corridor, the three of us were sneaking around in shrouds, holding a candle whose light was not much bigger than a bean.I think if a ghost really sees us, it should be frightened, right?

After leaving the stairs, I completely lost my sense of direction and could only follow the third uncle in front of me.

I heard Ma Di's footsteps behind me, and I followed closely.

But as I walked, I felt something was wrong.

Still footsteps.

It used to be only the footsteps of the three of us, but now it has become disorganized, and it is roughly estimated that there must be seven or eight people.

I jolted out, remembering the ghosts I saw in that bathroom.They are already in a semi-yin state, and their hands are all on the shoulders of the previous person, and they are all hanging on my shoulders, which makes my steps heavy.Then I managed to get rid of them.

Is this the case again?

But I didn't feel the weight on my body. Ma Di walked last, could it be that he was pressing on Ma Di?

Thinking of this, I panicked, and quickly turned around to shine a light on it with a candle.

Ma Su followed me very closely, I suddenly turned around, and the candlelight was shining on his face.

Ma Di was also taken aback, staring at me, wondering what happened?

Without the signal from the third uncle, I didn't dare to speak, so I pouted behind him, meaning to ask him if he felt anything?

It's a pity that this strange professor's ability to perceive at this time is too poor. I spent a long time trying, but he didn't understand my intention.Finally he shook his head at me and spread his hands.

Forget it, it seems that there is nothing unusual, otherwise he wouldn't be so relaxed.

I turned my head and wanted to continue following my third uncle, but when I turned around, I found that the front was empty.

I was dumbfounded at the time, after such a short while, the third uncle disappeared?

I held up the candle and looked ahead, and found a figure squatting on the ground, and the figure from behind was my third uncle.

I ran over in a hurry and found that my third uncle was looking down at the compass in a daze.

At this time, the few of us stopped, but we could still hear the sound of chaotic footsteps.This shows that unlike last time, those ghosts are not walking on our shoulders.This made me let go of my hanging heart.

The third uncle watched very intently. I wasn't by his side just now, so I don't know how he saw the compass.I hurriedly moved the candle over, and saw that the pointer on the special compass was pointing in one direction.

This kind of compass is specially made by the third uncle. There is a pointer on it, which can rely on the change of the magnetic field to feel the heaviest yin energy around.To put it bluntly, it means being able to spot ghosts.

The last time we were in the building in Tianyou Square, we used it once.

Now the pointer is pointing in one direction and does not move, obviously something is wrong in that direction.

Thinking of the footsteps I heard, I immediately thought that maybe those half-yin ghosts were right in front of us.

I lightly pointed forward with my finger, and Uncle San shook his head slightly at me.He stretched out a hand, made an "eight" shape with his thumb and index finger, and gestured to me.

What does it mean?

I thought about it, and immediately understood what Uncle San meant.He held the compass in one hand and could only signal to me with one hand.What he meant was to let me use my tengu eyes to see what was in front of me.

The Tengu eyes and the Feng Shui seal formed by the hands can see things that the naked eye cannot see.But this method is not suitable for everyone. Fortunately, I tried it last time, and I can successfully implement the Tengu Eye.

I gently placed the candle on the ground, according to the method my third uncle taught me last time, formed a square frame with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, and put it in front of my eyes, while silently reciting the mantra: "Heaven, Earth, Water House, the sun and the moon are three lights, the holy hand breaks the filth. , Fali Central. The void is shattered, the gods pray to the past, the gods of the five roads, order the four directions, and order the eyes of the dog, which can penetrate the geography."

This technique really worked. As my Feng Shui seal formed in front of my eyes, the fog in front of me gradually dissipated to the surroundings, and the scenery gradually became clearer.There were only six figures, surrounded by each other, still in that way of putting their hands on their shoulders.Only this time they were joined end to end, forming a circle with each other's arms and shoulders.

But I can see their figures, but I can't see their faces clearly. I don't know if it's because I don't know enough or what.

I put down the feng shui mark, made a "six" gesture to Uncle San, and told him that I saw six people.

Those ghosts were circling there on their own, and the footsteps came from them.It seems that the shrouds we wear really work, they treat us as nothing.This also saves us a lot of trouble.

And at this moment, the pointer on the compass held by third uncle moved.The pointer was trembling, and after shaking a few times, it pointed in the same direction again, with a small deviation from the previous direction.

I hurriedly looked at it again with the Feng Shui mark, but this time I didn't succeed even though I recited the formula twice silently.Looking at the scenery in the past is still the same.

Uncle San shook his head at me and stretched out a finger.I guess it should mean that the dog's eye can only be opened once within a certain period of time this day.

Chapter 280 The Strange Door

Although I can't see those ghosts anymore, I can still hear their footsteps.

The pointer on the compass held by the third uncle should be pointing to those ghosts.So as long as we follow the pointer, we should be able to keep track of those ghosts.

The third uncle obviously knew this too.He waved to me and Ma Di, let us follow him closely, and he continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the pointer.

I don't know where those ghosts will go, but the third uncle's attitude is very firm.

We followed the ghosts aimlessly for half an hour.Here, we have no direction, no destination, and due to the high mental tension, the passage of time hardly leaves any traces in our minds.So there is no concept of time here either.This half hour is also estimated by me.

The third uncle seemed to be very confident in the compass's instructions, and kept walking forward.

Suddenly, the pointer on the compass began to shake violently.There is no longer a clear indication of a direction.

The third uncle stopped suddenly, and I also understood that this was the reaction of the compass losing its magnetic field.This shows that the ghosts in front have disappeared.

I held the candle and moved forward for a certain distance. After passing through the fog, a door appeared in front of me.

I hurriedly waved to my third uncle, who came over to take a look, pointed to the door, and nodded.

It seems that the inside of this door should be the place we are looking for.

The third uncle put away the compass, and stepped forward to try to open the door.But we soon discovered that the door had no handle, and the entire door was bare.

I stepped forward and pushed it, and the door was firmly closed.

My third uncle and I looked at each other. Those ghosts were spirit bodies. Although they had cultivated half-yin bodies, they could still pass through the door.We are different. If the door does not open, we cannot get in at all.

I suddenly remembered that I had seen a door in the room with trees, and that door was very strong, if one didn't know the magic door inside, it would be impossible to open it.The door in front of me is probably that one.

And there is no handle on this door, and there is no keyhole, so I really don't know how to open it.

At this moment, Ma Su suddenly put his head up, looked at it, pointed to himself, and pointed to the door.

What Ma Su meant was that he could open the door.

This was beyond our expectation. The reason why we brought Ma Di here was to let him have a look at the strange tree, hoping to find some clues from it.

Unexpectedly, he still had research on this anti-theft door.

My third uncle and I looked at Ma Di suspiciously. Ma Di was full of confidence, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward with his chest out.

Ma Di asked me to go over and hold a candle to illuminate him, and he stretched out his hand to touch the door panel.He touched very carefully, not missing any part of the door.

I touched it twice, and I was going to touch it a third time.

The third uncle was obviously a little anxious. If he touched it like this, would he be able to open the door?He must be doubting, isn't Lao Ma joking?

I hurriedly nodded to my third uncle. I know Lao Ma, and he won't do things that he is not sure about.Although I don't know why Ma Su thinks he can open this door, but I believe him.

Ma Di touched the door for the third time, then began to measure with his fingers, and finally stopped at the upper right corner of the door.

He motioned for me to come over and put his finger on the spot.

I pressed the door panel as he said.As a result, when I pressed it, I could feel that there was a slight bulge under that position.

It cannot be seen on the surface, but can only be felt by touching it with hands.

With this discovery, I was overjoyed.Ma Di seems to know the method of this door completely.

Ma Di was in another place, and pressed his finger on it.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Di gestured at me with his fingers, one, two, three...

On the third click, we pressed down together hard.

When we finished pressing, we heard the door rattle.The sound of the reed beating came from the door again, and the solid door was slowly opened.

Ma Di breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

My third uncle and I both looked at Ma Di with admiration. The things that this guy knows are like an endless treasure that can never be exhausted.

I really want to ask him how he opened this door, but I don't dare to say more here.

When the door opened, Uncle San beckoned, and we walked through the door into the room.

There is a familiar smell here, the smell of tree oil.I'm sure we're in that room again.

After we entered, the door magically closed again.

It's just that this time is different from the last time. Last time there was the light of the Five Emperors Ceremony Buddha Lamp, and we could clearly see everything inside.

But this time it was pitch black inside, and only the huge shadow of the ancient tree could be seen.There was also a dead silence all around, with gusts of wind blowing.

The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Ma Su in a low voice, "Old Matou, how did you open this door?"

Ma Di was taken aback: "Can you talk?"

The third uncle nodded: "This room is an isolated space from the outside world. Here, it doesn't matter if you talk or not."

Ma Su said: "It's strange, I'm familiar with that door, it's a special security door."

"A special safety door?" Third Uncle then asked, "Why is it special? How do you know?"

"Laboratory. The safety door of our school's laboratory is the same as the door here."

I questioned: "Lao Ma, I have been to your office, isn't it your laboratory? There is nothing special about that door."

Ma Di smiled wryly and shook his head: "What kind of laboratory is that? It can only be regarded as a small workshop of mine. The laboratory I am talking about is the school's secret place, and there are often some secret experiments that cannot be treated by outsiders. Those who entered the laboratory were several of our veterans and high-level officials of the school. The anti-theft door of the laboratory is of this type. But I didn’t expect that even the way to open the door is the same.”

"How could this be? Could it be a coincidence?"

Ma Di shook his head: "Don't ask me. I don't know, but the coincidence may not be very big. This kind of anti-theft door is not put on the market, it is specially made by our school."

After Ma Di's explanation, there were more questions.Ma Di's school, that is, the laboratory of Bencheng University, is actually the same as a door in this hotel.How can this be explained?

The third uncle understood, and waved his hands at us: "Old Matou, this time you are considered to be very good. Thank you in advance."

Ma Su sneered and said, "Don't come here, what about the tree you mentioned? I smell the familiar smell of tree oil."

The third uncle pointed to the tree shadow: "It's over there, but we can't go there now. We have to wait..."
