Chapter 23 Judgment
Zhao Yuanyuan thought Mingzhuo would be disappointed or blame her, but he said nothing.
"I will pray for your soul and send you to reincarnation." Mingzhuo smiled.
She began to pray for the soul of the dead. This time Mingzhuo was much more serious. He sat cross-legged, threw out talismans, and chanted spells. After a few minutes, a dark door appeared in the void.
Zhao Yuanyuan took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.
As a ghost, she naturally knew that she had to go through a trial before entering the door. Ghosts who were contaminated by cause and effect and karma would be in agony.
Some souls did not even make it to the end of this journey and completely dissipated.
She walked on the dark road to the afterlife, with fiery red Lycoris radiata clustered on both sides of the road, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Except for this road, the surroundings were pitch black, so thick that it seemed to freeze time.
In the darkness, invisible ghost hands rushed towards her, judging her sins.
Zhao Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and prepared to hold on.
The expected pain did not come. At some point, a dim light emanated from the ghost's body.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she recognized that it was the mark left on her by Ming Zhuo.
Li Wenhe kept staring at the door.
When the Taoist magic of the Xuanmen is cultivated to a certain level, it is indeed possible to communicate with the underworld, open the ghost gate with the help of magic tools, and send ghosts to the afterlife.
Those who can do this must be top masters in the industry, such as the heads of the major Xuanmen or enlightened monks.
That would be fine, if he was not mistaken, the dim light emanating from Zhao Yuanyuan's body was the mark left by Ming Zhuo.
It was this faint light that frightened the ghost hands that were stretched out to Zhao Yuanyuan in the darkness and made them retreat
one after another. Even Zhao Yuanyuan turned around and bowed to them after she reacted.
There was no pain on her face, but it was very calm.
But all this only happened in a moment, and the door slammed shut and disappeared.
Ming Zhuo stood up and stretched, "Let's go, it's
time to go home!" She was very happy that she could finally go home early today!
Li Wenhe retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Pei Di opened his mouth wide. This time he saw it all. Such a big door appeared in the void, majestic and towering, but also chilling.
"Boss, you are so awesome!" Although Pei Di didn't understand, it didn't stop him from expressing his surprise.
"Of course I'm great. It's not the first day you've known me." Ming Zhuo gladly accepted the compliment.
When the three of them went downstairs, the manager came up again, ready to persuade Ming Zhuo to agree to help with the ritual.
He just calculated that there were still some expenses at the hotel that he could handle, so he decided to add another 100,000!
"Six hundred thousand! Master, is six hundred thousand okay? Do you want to reconsider it?"
Ming Zhuo took a deep breath. This person really wanted to shake her heart.
Just when the manager thought she would agree, she shook her head and once again firmly refused.
"I just checked, your hotel is no longer haunted, it's very clean. Not to mention wandering spirits, I'm afraid there's not even a mosquito, what kind of ritual is needed?"
After a pause, she added, "If you just want to seek peace of mind, just find a few charlatans to do it, it doesn't cost a lot of money."
Manager: "..."
Is it still possible?
The manager has seen Mingzhuo's various magical powers and has long regarded him as his idol!
He listened to the advice and ate a full meal. In the end, he reported to the CEO's office that the total expenditure was only 10,000.
When the secretary came to report, Gu Xu was a little surprised. For the first time, he asked the secretary to call the manager to inquire about the situation.
"Boss, it's like this. The expert I was planning to invite said that our hotel is clean and tidy, without even a mosquito, and there's no need to spend that money on a ritual."
"She also suggested that I find a few Taoists to do a demonstration for outsiders to see. After this matter is over, our hotel will definitely be crowded with guests in the future!"
Gu Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was so noble.
Maybe the other party is really a master who has never appeared in the world.
I have also seen a few old men with immortal looks in the past, and those people are not all greedy.
Although he is an atheist, it doesn't prevent him from admiring people who have self-persistence and integrity.
——Ming
Zhuo couldn't help but feel sorry that one day he could spit out the food that was fed to his mouth.
"That's six hundred thousand!" Ming Zhuo complained to his two friends, "I feel heartbroken whenever I think about it. It's a waste of money!"
Pei Di didn't quite understand: "Then you might as well take it over. It shouldn't be a difficult task for you."
Li Wenhe probably understood Ming Zhuo's concerns, "You don't want your secret to be discovered by acquaintances, right?"
Pei Di suddenly realized: "Really? No wonder you kept it a secret from us before!"
Ming Zhuo glanced at him. It was not that she had deliberately hidden it from them before, but she had not yet fully awakened.
"That's not entirely the reason." She hesitated for a moment and expressed her doubts. "Logically, ghosts can exist anywhere except temples and Taoist temples. The hotel has been visited by evil spirits, so the negative energy will not dissipate so quickly. The aura will also change, and it will unconsciously attract nearby wandering souls. Only by setting up a ritual site can the bad energy be driven away."
But the strange thing is that the hotel is too clean, even cleaner than a ritual site.
In this case, is it necessary for her to go to the trouble of performing a shaman dance? If
she takes action, it must be because there is a problem that needs to be solved. She can't perform a shaman dance against her conscience.
She still has professional ethics and morals!
Li Wenhe: "Shouldn't this be a good thing?"
Mingzhuo thought about it and agreed. Whether someone has taken action or not, it is a good thing for the hotel. She soon stopped paying attention to this matter.
Li Huili, the head teacher, came in with the corrected homework book, looking pleased.
"Student Ruan Mingzhuo has a high completion rate for her homework recently, with a 100% accuracy rate. This is very encouraging. Everyone should learn from her!"
She heard that Mingzhuo had recently asked to stay after school to do homework, and he was always the last one to leave the school.
Although he might have borrowed other people's answers to improve his accuracy, this spirit is worth encouraging.
The whole class burst into applause, and Mingzhuo walked up to the podium to get his homework book back.
The classmates were also very pleased. They thought that Ruan Mingzhuo had just scribbled something and ran away. It turned out that it was not the case. Did she find some academic bully to help her open the stove?
However, she was a little shy. Instead of looking for her classmates, she looked for someone else.
Xie Xiao thought for a while, and whispered to his deskmate, "It may not be someone else, but Cheng Jingru, the academic god in the first year of high school."
When his deskmate heard this, he took it seriously.
They couldn't judge the other members of the Cheng family, but Cheng Jingru was indeed a nice person, beautiful and smart, and a campus goddess that many people liked.
The teachers had deliberately lowered the difficulty of the homework these few times, and Cheng Jingru was so smart that these things were not difficult for her at all.
Besides, when Ruan Mingzhuo was still Cheng Zhuo, only Cheng Jingru was willing to pay attention to her, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.
It was normal for Ruan Mingzhuo to ask Cheng Jingru for help.
