A tower appeared in the video, and I immediately recognized it as the Oriental Pearl Tower, the landmark building of our second largest city in Hot Summer, the Magic City.
Obviously the video was not shot in Yanjing, but in Shanghai.
The sky was overcast and it seemed like it was going to rain.
The Pearl Tower is four to five hundred meters high, and a black spot appears on the top of the tower.
Because it was far away and the sky was gloomy and the light was poor, I couldn’t see clearly at first. What was the black spot?
Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, that's a person."
There was a bustling sound in the video, and it seemed like many people were gathering around, all looking towards the top of the Pearl Tower.
"Did you see it? The black spot above the Pearl Tower seems to be a person."
"How is it possible? How is it possible for a person to fly to the top of the Pearl Tower?"
There were men's voices and women's voices, all talking about it.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a bolt of thunder fell from the sky, startling everyone in the video.
What was even more frightening was that the sky thunder actually struck the black spot above the Pearl Tower.
Lightning lit up the night sky, and people immediately saw clearly that the black spot floating above the Pearl Tower was a person.
And she's a woman in red.
The woman floated straight in the air, her disheveled hair and red dress fluttering high in the air.
"He was struck by lightning. That person was struck by lightning. Oh my God, what is going on?"
Although the sky thunder struck the woman, the woman was unharmed.
Then there was another thunderbolt, still hitting the woman.
The man's body trembled in the air a few times, then floated there steadily again.
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth thunder.
Every time it was struck, everyone screamed.
The sound in the video started to get noisy.
"How can a person float in the air, be struck by lightning, and be unharmed? What the hell is this?"
"Isn't it some kind of god?"
Suddenly an old man said: "Oh, I'm afraid some immortal cultivator is going to survive the tribulation."
"What tribulation?"
"Thunder Tribulation." The old man explained: "When I visited Zhongnan Mountain, I once saw with my own eyes a Taoist cultivating immortality on the top of Zhongnan Mountain. He sat cross-legged with his legs in his hand, holding a whisk in his hand, and his body floated straight into the air. Then, a
The sky thunder struck down, but the man was unharmed. It was not until the ninth thunder that the man was chopped into pieces. It is said that he failed to escape the tribulation, and the pieces of the man's body were found on the top of the mountain."
Boom...
The sixth thunder struck, and the woman's body bent down.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth thunderbolts also struck down one after another.
The woman's body finally couldn't hold on anymore, and with a bang, it was blown to pieces.
The people in the video screamed loudly, which was deafening.
Then the video stopped abruptly.
Zhang Chi turned off the computer and looked at me.
"Is this the real scene when the red-dressed Taoist priest passed through the heavenly tribulation?" I asked.
Someone actually filmed it. If this was spread, wouldn't it cause panic among the people?
"Of course it won't be spread," Zhang Chi said: "Because at that time, many people took pictures with their mobile phones and posted them online, which really caused an uproar. The public had to come out to refute the rumors, saying that it was a new game produced by a certain game company, which was not true.
"
I laughed.
"I'm afraid the public won't believe this kind of lie, right?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
"The public is not that easy to fool, so in the end I had to delete all the videos on the Internet about the red-dressed Taoist priests going through the tribulation. As for the one on my computer, it was also taken by an eyewitness at that time. It was not uploaded to the Internet. It was
I bought it at a high price."
Everyone thought that transcending tribulations would only appear in legends, but when they saw the real scene, they were really shocked.
"As you can see, the Taoist nun in red failed to withstand the nine thunders in the end and failed."
Zhang Chi opened the drawer of his desk and took out something from it and placed it on the table.
That is a red bell.
"Red fire bell?" I was shocked again. The fourth bell among the five colors was now in front of me.
"Fortunately, your grandfather gave this bell to the Taoist nun in red. Although it only carried a thunderbolt for her, after she died, there was a residual soul attached to the bell."
"It was my elder who put away the bell and brought it to Yanjing."
"Because our family property is in Yanjing and not in Shanghai, my elders put this bell in one of our family properties, which is the Morton Hotel."
"Because the hotel is a place where guests can stay. People come and go, and the hotel is very popular. Human beings are the growth of all things. The popularity can nourish the remaining soul on the bell."
"Of course, if it can absorb people's essence, then it won't take long for the red-dressed Taoist nun's remnant soul to be completely nourished, and she can practice again until she can survive the tribulation again."
When he said this, I understood.
"So you let the soul of the Taoist nun in red be in the Morton Hotel to harm the guests staying there, dragging those guests into dreams and absorbing their essence?"
"For a long time, there have been rumors that the hotel is haunted by a female ghost in red. In order not to affect the hotel's business and popularity, and to allow the Taoist nun in red to continue to harm people, you have tried every means to package the hotel into a horror that focuses on excitement and adventure.
Not only has the hotel business not declined, but it has become even more prosperous."
I sneered.
"You have worked really hard for this Taoist nun in red, but why do you do this? Why do you want to help Taoist nun in red?"
After I finished speaking, Zhang Chi shook his head.
"Mr. Li, you misunderstood. It's not what you see or what you hear."
"The remnant soul of the Taoist priestess in red is in the Malton Hotel. She has never harmed anyone. Instead, she has helped those people survive the disaster, accumulated virtues and performed good deeds, and also accumulated good fortune for herself."
I was stunned.
"What did you say?"
"I know you don't believe it, please listen to me."
"Don't forget that the Taoist lady in red was a pure and kind person during her lifetime. Otherwise, she would not have embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation. So how could she harm others after her death?"
"Then what happened to the dead guests in your hotel? Were they not killed by the Taoist nun in red?"
Zhang Chi shook his head again.
"Not really."
"We, the Morton Hotel, have been operating for many years and are located in an international metropolis like Yanjing. We welcome all kinds of guests every day."
"These guests come from all walks of life. There are good guys and bad guys. There are even murderers who disguise themselves and stay in our hotel, like the first murderer."
"Mr. Li, if you investigate carefully, you will find that the guests who died in our hotel are not good people."
"Some of them are villains, some have killed people, some have evil intentions, and some are evil villains. These people all carry sins with them, so the red-dressed Taoist Priest pulls them into their dreams, trying to wash away their sins and let them
Become a new person."
"But... some people's sins are too serious and cannot be completely washed away, so in the end, among those people, those with lighter sins were influenced by the red-dressed Taoist nun. After they woke up, they repented and started a new life."
"Those who are guilty are still stubborn and want to continue to harm others, so the red-dressed Taoist nun makes them become madmen or makes them commit suicide."
"Since they are unwilling to wash away their sins, they cannot be allowed to continue committing sins and harming others."
I squinted at Zhang Chi.
Is what this person said true or false? It’s a completely different version from what I heard before.
Everyone said that the female ghost in red in the Malton Hotel was an evil spirit that was harmful to people. Over the years, so many exorcists have been flocking to it, trying to get rid of her.
And she also became the red-clothed fierce one among the four evil creatures.
Now Zhang Chi actually told me that the female ghost in red is actually good. She is not harming people but saving them.
Let me go, the contrast is too great.
"According to what you said, everyone has misunderstood the female ghost in red. She is kind and not evil."
"Yes, she has always been kind and has never harmed anyone. Because of this, not only has she not been eliminated by groups of exorcists, but she has been able to help people wash away their sins and accumulate merit.
The remaining soul brewed three souls and seven souls, and the soul is complete."
"Although she can no longer become a human being, with the three souls and seven souls, she is qualified to practice again. In fact, she has not stopped practicing these years, and now she has reached the point of transcending the tribulation for the second time."
I said: "What is the purpose of telling me this?"
"I know that the reason why Mr. Li checked into the Morton Hotel was to get rid of the female ghost in red and the number one murderer, right?"
I suddenly remembered the first murderer, so I asked: "By the way, what happened to the first murderer? Why did he become invisible after moving into 404?"
"And why does the room open to the sky and thunder fall in the middle of the night?"
This is the biggest question in my mind.
"As I said before, the number one murderer is guilty of serious crimes. The Taoist nun in red tried to pull him into a dream, influence him, and absolve him of his sins. Unfortunately, she failed."
"Because the first evil man is the reincarnation of the Yin evil star, he is destined to be a vicious stick that harms mortal lives. There is no way to save him, so we can only destroy him to prevent him from continuing to harm others."
"But who would have thought that the first murderer had killed too many people, and all of them were young girls, and he used cruel killing methods such as skinning and removing their hearts, which caused those who were killed to be filled with resentment and haunted them all the time.
he."
"The evil aura on his body is too strong, and the evil aura has turned into hostility. In addition, the first evil person is the reincarnation of the Yin evil star. There is actually a kind of black air maintenance in the dark. Even the red-dressed Taoist nun is
Can't kill him."
I was surprised, is it true?
But then I thought about it, the first murderer killed so many people, but he has never been wanted by the police and is still at large.
Moreover, after he took the second-ranked mission on the Demon List, many people from the underworld took over the mission and tried to kill him, but they all failed.
It’s not that the number one villain is very powerful, but that he should have a dark and powerful protection on his body.
So even the Taoist nun in red can't kill him.
"Then what?" I asked.
"But she couldn't kill her, and she couldn't cross her. The Taoist nun in red decided to take a desperate risk, and used the pure kindness and justice in her body to merge with the evil and vicious aura in the first murderer."
"Let me use an analogy, how can you make a pool of sewage clean? One way is to inject a lot of clean water into the sewage. If you add more clean water, the dirt will be diluted, although it cannot be completely eliminated.
, but at least it’s no longer so dirty.”
"You're saying that the Taoist nun in red wants to use the pure kindness and justice in her body to dilute the cruelty and violence in the first murderer?"
"This is the only way."
"You should have seen the scene of 404 through fluoroscopy last night, and also saw the Taoist nun in red. There was an extra human head on her chest, which belonged to the most vicious person."
I was stunned, thinking that I had clairvoyance powers, how did he know?
Except for Lao Hu, no one knows that my eyes can see through.
This makes me feel cold. Zhang Chi is not a simple person. He wouldn't have investigated me, right?
Moreover, the tone in which he spoke to me and the way he looked at me seemed to know me well, which made me feel very scary.
But I didn't ask him why he knew I could see through things, because if I asked him, he wouldn't tell me, this person is very cunning.
"The red-dressed Taoist nun tried to use the justice in her body to dilute the brutality of the first murderer, but she was not completely successful."
"Um? Did you fail again?"
"Yes, because the violence and sin in the first murderer are too deep. Even if the Taoist Sister in Red uses all her pure kindness and justice to dilute it, it still won't have much effect."
"Then why is the head of the first murderer on the body of the Taoist nun in red? His other body... won't be diluted, right?"
"Exactly, only one head is left after being diluted, but you have to know that the head is the essence of a person. Almost all the viciousness of the most vicious person is concentrated in the head, so the head cannot be diluted.
