The video spread like wildfire, like a deadly poison.
Around noon, China's largest state media finally couldn't help but step in to refute the rumors.
"After investigation, it has been confirmed that the Tianyuan Bridge video was a publicity stunt by a film crew. Supernatural event? Fake! Please do not believe or spread rumors."
The comments below the official media were overwhelmingly negative.
"I knew it was impossible. A person jumping from a height of ten meters and disappearing in an instant? You've been watching too many Western movies."
"I had already guessed that this was a marketing tactic devised by some despicable production team. These people these days will do anything to become famous, no matter how shameless they are."
"How could there be ghosts in the world? It's absolutely impossible. Anyone with a brain could guess that."
Subsequently, the ID of the monk from yesterday was quickly attacked.
Left with no other option, the monk had to take the video down.
Even though hundreds of people witnessed the incident at Tianyuan Bridge, only Monk Xingzhe filmed it.
Without others presenting evidence, it's always a case of one hand holding the other back.
This matter has been completely closed in China.

In the afternoon, Bai Qianmo went to the Second Hospital to visit Yin Ling.
When they arrived at the ward, Qin Jingwen was also there.
"Qianmo, what brings you here?"
In Qin Jingwen's eyes, Bai Qianmo and Yin Ling had only met once, so they shouldn't have been at the hospital.
“The spirit said on WeChat that she was hospitalized, so I came to visit her since I was passing by,” Bai Qianmo explained.
Yin Ling was peeling and eating an orange when she saw Bai Qianmo enter the room. She quickly put on a warm and polite demeanor.
"Oh dear, I already told you it's nothing serious, why did you come to the hospital to see me?"
Bai Qianmo placed the fruit basket she had brought on the coffee table beside her.
What did the doctor say?
"I just had a CT scan, and it shows a lung contusion. I need to be hospitalized for a few days."
"So you two have been in contact behind the scenes all along."
Qin Jingwen peeled an orange and handed it to Bai Qianmo, looking at the two of them with a smile.
The spirit explained, "We added each other on WeChat that day, and today Qianmo happened to contact me about something, which is how I found out I was hospitalized."
Qin Jingwen had no doubts: "Qianmo, you've come at the right time. I was just thinking of calling you today. My cousin's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and his family is planning to hold a birthday banquet at the Gu family's old house. My cousin said that I should go with you."
Qin Jingwen seemed quite happy when the topic came up.
She wasn't very familiar with the relatives on the Gu family's side, and the Gu family's descendants of similar age were of a different generation than her, so she rarely had any contact with them.
Bai Qianmo sighed, realizing she had almost forgotten that Gu Jueye's birthday was approaching.
After chatting for a while in the ward, Yinling wanted to take a nap, so Bai Qianmo and Qin Jingwen went shopping at a nearby mall together.
I was thinking about what birthday gift to give Gu Jueye.
"Jingwen, what gift did you prepare for the Duke?"
“My cousin is very picky. I have to rack my brains every year to give him a gift. A few days ago, I heard from Ji Cong’an that my cousin has recently taken a liking to growing flowers, so I thought I’d just give him a batch of potted plants.”
Qin Jingwen spoke casually, after all, he was her cousin, and he wouldn't care what she gave him.
But she's different; if the gift is given too casually, it would seem like she doesn't value it enough.
But if the gift is too expensive, she's poor...
"Qianmo, there's a boutique up ahead. Weren't you going to pick out a gift for my cousin? Let's go in and take a look."
Bai Qianmo looked at the boutique that Qin Jingwen was pointing to; it was a mid-range brand.
Upon entering the store, Bai Qianmo was immediately drawn to a row of wallets.
She had considered giving her a tie, but that seemed a bit too intimate; a wallet would be just right.
After browsing for a while, I finally picked up a black leather wallet.
The shopkeeper immediately came up to her and praised her for her good taste, saying that this wallet was the most popular style this year.
Bai Qianmo didn't understand these things, but she felt that the style was simple and suited Gu Jueye's temperament.
Most importantly, the price was within her budget.
In the end, I bought that wallet for 3999.
The two walked out of the boutique, and Qin Jingwen wanted to go for afternoon tea.
Bai Qianmo accompanied her to the fifth floor.
The two had just reached the entrance of the coffee shop when they encountered several people.
When the other person saw Bai Qianmo, a look of surprise was clearly on their face.
Han Songyan kept a cold expression and did not speak.
Since Old Master Bai returned to Beijing, Bai Qianmo has been staying at the Bai family's old house for the past two days and hasn't even made a phone call home.
This girl doesn't respect her parents at all.
Standing next to Han Songyan, Madam Li glanced silently at Bai Qianmo.
"What a coincidence, Mrs. Bai, isn't this your distant relative?" The tone was laced with sarcasm.
Li Yushu and Bai Xiruo, who were following behind the two, had different expressions.
Li Yushu gave Bai Qianmo a polite smile and asked, "Qianmo, are you here at this coffee shop too?"
Bai Qianmo nodded slightly.
Li Yushu's gaze shifted to Qin Jingwen's face, and his expression flickered slightly.
I feel like I've seen this friend, Qianmo, somewhere before.
Bai Xiruo suppressed her displeasure and spoke with a smile.
"Qianmo, you haven't been home for the past two days, and you haven't even called us to let us know you're safe. We're all very worried about you."
To Madam Li and Li Yushu, Bai Xiruo's words carried a completely different meaning.
Madam Li sneered inwardly. This Bai Qianmo was so young and already fooling around outside. Who knows which unlucky guy will marry such a woman in the future?
Li Yushu gave Bai Qianmo a deep look, and the image of that black sedan flashed through his mind.
A hint of somberness flashed across his eyes and brows.
Bai Xiruo knew that Bai Qianmo lived in the Bai family's old house, but she deliberately said such ambiguous things to cause misunderstandings, which was obviously intentional.
But Han Songyan wouldn't think of it that way at all; instead, she joined in with sarcastic remarks.
"You care about her so much, but have you ever seen her appreciate it?"
"Mom, don't say that. We're all family."
When Han Songyan heard the phrase "family" in front of Madam Li, her scalp tingled.
"What do you mean by family? Don't say things like that that could lead to misunderstandings in public."
Bai Xiruo looked at Bai Qianmo with a helpless expression, making herself seem very innocent.
But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of smugness and pride.
It seems to be saying, "See? In the hearts of the Bai family, I, Bai Xiruo, am the only daughter they acknowledge."
