However, before we could take any further action, someone came to our door early the next morning.
We were having breakfast in the room when there was a knock on the door.
I thought it was a waiter, so I opened the door and saw a young man in his 30s, wearing a gray suit and trousers and wearing glasses, standing outside the door.
I was stunned.
"Who are you looking for?"
He smiled slightly and stared at me through the lenses of his glasses.
"Are you Li Yang?"
I was stunned again.
"Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Chi. I am the owner of the Morton Hotel."
Boss? I can't believe it. Is the owner of the Morton Hotel so young? He doesn't look like a boss, but more like a company employee.
Later I learned that people are not judged by their appearance. This Zhang Chi is an extraordinary person.
But how does he know that my name is Li Yang? I have never met him.
As if he could see what I was thinking, he explained: "Of course I know about the soul-piercing master who has become very popular in the Yinxing world recently. Although I am not a Yin person, I am also aware of things in the Yinxing world.
Very concerned.”
"Not only are you a descendant of a lineage of soul-piercing masters that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but you have also completed the fourth-ranked mission on the demon list and become the boss of the Yin Alliance. It's hard for me not to know."
I have a good impression of this person. Even though he was very complimentary when we first met him, it didn't disgust me at all.
"No prizes, no prizes, um... boss Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?"
"How dare you bother me when you have nothing to do? It's about the female ghost in red in the hotel. I think Mr. Li is interested. Why don't we talk alone."
Um? After all, he is the owner of this hotel, and he should know a lot about the female ghost in red inside. He is not going to tell me any inside information, right?
So I nodded immediately.
"good."
"Then go to my office, please..."
I turned around and said hello to Lao Hu and the others, and followed Zhang Chi out.
I happened to meet Tie Ningxiang and Tieshan in the corridor. They were carrying a big box. I wonder what was contained in it? It should be a talisman and magic weapon, because Tieshan was going to 404 tonight for a meeting.
The female ghost in red rescued Tie Qilin.
Because the box was too heavy, when Tie Ningxiang passed by me, her hands shook due to lack of strength and she almost dropped the box.
I instinctively stretched out my hand to help her, and she looked up at me with a complicated expression.
This woman has indeed changed a lot since I repaired her last time. At least she is not as arrogant and domineering as before. After her grandfather died, not only did she not clamor for revenge from me, but she also dissuaded her brother from seeking revenge from me.
Very knowledgeable indeed.
"Need help?" I asked.
Tie Ningxiang shook her head.
"Need not."
She avoided my gaze.
"Tie Ningxiang, that 404 thing is not simple, you'd better not act rashly." I reminded him in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, these words were heard by Tieshan who was walking in front. He suddenly turned his head and stared at me fiercely.
"You don't need to meddle in what we do."
I just reminded you with good intentions, but it seems that they don't appreciate it.
I can only shake my head. If someone wants to die, can you stop him?
I said loudly: "Tie Qilin is gone. I hope you will not follow in his footsteps."
"You surnamed Li, are you cursing us?" Anger welled up on Tieshan's face. Tie Ningxiang hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. Tieshan then glared at me and turned around to leave.
Zhang Chi saw this scene in his eyes. He adjusted his glasses and said: "Good words can't persuade the damn ghost. There were some sinister people in the past who made bold words to deal with the female ghost in red. I tried to dissuade her many times to no avail, and finally they all disappeared."
Already."
"So, when facing some people, Mr. Li doesn't have to waste any words."
I nodded in agreement and continued to follow Zhang Chi into the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the top floor of the hotel.
The top floor was decorated very luxuriously, and the ground floor was covered with expensive carpets. After walking along the corridor for a long time, Zhang Chi reached out and pushed open a door. That was his office.
The whole floor is very quiet.
The decoration of the office is also prosperous. They are all expensive mahogany tables and chairs. It seems that Zhang Chi is very tasteful.
He invited me to sit down and made tea, but I didn't want to waste time and said directly: "Boss Zhang, what do you want to tell me?"
"Don't worry, I've been waiting for you for so many years and finally I'm here for you. We need to have a good chat."
"You finally waited for me? What does this mean? Could it be that you have been waiting for me?"
"It's not me waiting for you, it's her."
Zhang Chi said, picking up a photo frame placed on his desk.
There is a photo in the frame of a woman wearing a red robe.
The robes worn by Taoist priests and nuns are usually gray or black, but the robes worn by this woman were as red as blood.
Moreover, she has long flowing hair, and her temperament is a bit like a fairy falling from the sky, but also a bit sinister, like a red-clothed ghost.
Wait, why does it look so familiar? Isn't this the female ghost in red that I saw in 404 using clairvoyance last night?
I suddenly stood up.
"Who is this woman? Why did she turn into a female ghost in red and cause trouble in this hotel, and why do you have her photo?"
"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will tell you everything you want to know."
He put the photos away, stood up, and walked twice in front of me.
"Where should I start? Do you know who this woman is? She is the Taoist nun in red."
"Taoist nun in red? I've never heard of it. She is a Taoist, but why is she wearing a red robe?"
"In the beginning, she was just a mortal. Her name was Liu A'nu. She was born in the Shiwan Mountains in western Hunan. She was an ordinary mountain citizen in the Eighteen Villages. Because she was charitable and helped the mountain people do many good deeds, she belonged to the world.
A rare kind person."
"Because of her pure and kind nature, at the age of eighteen, she was spotted by a Taoist master in Zhongnan Mountain, who took her on the road of Taoism. Due to her special fate, extremely talented Taoist, and her youth and beauty,
So she was allowed to wear red Taoist robes and was called a red Taoist nun."
"She devoted herself to practicing Taoism for 20 years, and achieved enlightenment at the age of thirty-eight. She has reached the point of overcoming tribulations and becoming an immortal. As long as she survives nine thunder tribulations, she can ascend to immortality."
"Mr. Li should know more about overcoming the tribulation than I do."
Of course I know.
Those who want to cultivate Taoism and become immortals must go through tribulations, animals must go through tribulations if they want to become immortals, and people must go through tribulations if they want to become immortals.
Because overcoming tribulations is a process that goes against the laws of nature, God will bring catastrophes, and only by overcoming these tribulations can we continue to practice.
Among all catastrophes, the highest catastrophe is called the heavenly catastrophe.
When immortal cultivators survive the heavenly tribulation, they can break through the shackles of the human world and ascend to the immortal world to become immortals or gods.
"You mean that the Taoist nun in red is going to survive the tribulation and become an immortal? Has she succeeded?"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly.
"Of course not. If it succeeds, she won't turn into a ghost in red in my hotel."
"I heard that to overcome the tribulation, you either have to survive the thunder and become an immortal, or you are struck to pieces by the thunder. How could the Taoist nun in red turn into a female ghost in red?"
"Yes, there are only two outcomes for those who want to overcome the tribulation. Either they succeed, or their souls are chopped to pieces. The Taoist Priest in Red did not succeed, and she was not hacked to pieces. She left a trace of her soul behind and turned into a ghost.
"
"Why is this happening?"
"Because she has something in her hand."
"Red Fire Bell."
I was taken aback.
"Red Fire Bell?"
"Yes, one of the five colored bells." Zhang Chi said.
"Mr. Li should be more familiar with the Five-Colored Bell than I am, because it is related to the two Yin gods, the Soul Assassin Master and the Yin Opera Master."
"And Mr. Li, you have a special connection with the two evil gods. If I guess correctly, Mr. Li already has three of the five-color bells in his hands."
I remembered what Bai Xiaoxue said before.
"Destroy the four evil creatures, collect all the five colored bells, and come to the Hell Cave in western Hunan to find me."
There are indeed three bells in my hand, and the fourth one seems to be in the hands of the red-dressed Taoist nun, because she is the red-dressed fierce one, one of the four evil creatures.
"Do you know why the red fire bell is in the hands of the red Taoist nun?"
I shook my head.
"It was given to her by someone before she went through the tribulation. That person's name is Old Ghost Li."
"My grandpa." I shouted in surprise.
"Lao Gui Li saw that the Taoist lady in red was dedicated to doing good and cultivating the Tao, and she was about to go through the thunder tribulation. He said that although the Taoist girl in red's practice seemed to be perfect, in fact, because her heart was not enlightened, she might not be successful in overcoming the thunder tribulation.
.”
"Then he took out a red bell and gave it to the Taoist nun in red. He said that the bell could block a thunderstorm for her when she was going through the thunder tribulation."
"There are nine thunders in total during the tribulation. Each thunder is extremely powerful. Many cultivators cannot even withstand the first thunder, let alone the nine thunders."
"So, some of the immortal cultivators disappeared into thin air during the thunder tribulation, and only a few of them could successfully ascend to immortality."
"Using a bell to carry a thunderstorm was a great help to the Taoist priestess in red. She thanked the Taoist priestess profusely. After that, Old Ghost Li left, and the Taoist priestess in red costume began to overcome the thunder tribulation."
"She withstood five of the nine thunders, and the bell blocked one for her. But when the seventh thunder struck, she still couldn't resist it. She was instantly chopped to pieces."
"It stands to reason that she should have been chopped to pieces, but at the most critical moment, a ray of her soul was attached to the bell, and finally turned into a female ghost in red."
I frowned and looked at Zhang Chi.
I don't know this person at all, and I don't know whether what he said is true or false.
"Why is Boss Zhang telling me this? Is it because it has something to do with my grandfather?" I asked.
I can't figure out what Zhang Chi's purpose is in telling me this? Although I really want to know more about the female ghost in red, I still have to be cautious and can't completely believe him.
It was as if Zhang Chi could read minds and saw my doubts, knowing that I didn't fully believe what he said.
He turned on the computer on his desk and called up a video.
"Mr. Li, come and take a look at this."
I stood up and walked over.
The video started playing, and after watching it, I was extremely shocked.
