Suppressing my fatigue, I got out of bed and began to examine the small Jar closely. I was trying hard to recall where I had seen this little Jar before.
After a while, I slapped my forehead. Wasn't this the same kind of Jar that Xiaorou had brought out from that Tsuchiya? However, when she took it out, the Jar was without a lid, while this one had a lid. This proved that this Jar was not the one Xiaorou had taken out, but rather Master Li's own. Since it was his Gu Poison Jar, how could a Gu Master carelessly leave it behind?
I continued to look at it for a while longer before deciding to call my master and inform him that Master Li had forgotten his Gu Poison Jar. Just as I was about to dial the number, an incredible thought struck me, and I quickly hung up. Instead, I sent a text message to my master: "Master, Master Li's Gu Poison Jar was left in my room."
In less than two minutes, my master's reply came back. It was just four short words: "Do not touch it." My master knew much more about raising Gu than I did; if he said not to touch it, there must be a good reason. I stopped observing the Gu Poison Jar and sat down on a chair next to the tea table for a moment before preparing to return to bed and lie down again. However, just as I reached the bedside, my foot kicked something.
"Clink!" It was a small bell. I remembered that Master Li had carelessly tossed the bell on the floor after shaking it. At the moment the bell rang, my body stiffened, and I found myself uncontrollably moving toward the location of the Gu Poison Jar.
This was bad; it clearly wasn't that simple. A Gu Master could be careless enough to leave behind their Gu Poison Jar, but tossing aside a bell like that was just unprofessional. The thought sent shivers down my spine as a feeling of being manipulated surged within me. What was going on?
I struggled to control my body from moving toward the Gu Poison Jar, but my body felt too weak and vain to resist; it simply would not obey my will. Step by step, I moved closer to the Gu Poison Jar. Confused, I wondered why this Poison hadn't already been dispelled. Just then, Master Li's voice echoed in my mind: "I told you to come back and check; I said you might run into trouble. Sure enough, I'm glad I arrived in time." After saying this, he took out an exorcism talisman and dissolved it in water before handing it to me.
Just as I was about to ask another question, a staff member appeared at the door. The staff member looked fierce and said, "Why did you break our door? Do you know you have to pay for this? Two hundred for a door; not a penny less. Come with me to the front desk to settle this."
Master Xiao walked over with a smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry; my friend drank too much." He then pulled out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the staff member while continuing, "This is for compensation; please help us settle it. My friend tends to cause trouble when he's drunk; I need to keep an eye on him so he doesn't break anything in your room."
The staff member looked at me with disdain, took the money, and said, "Be more careful next time; this is a hotel, not your home. You can't just break things whenever you want."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry," Master Xiao continued smilingly while bowing his head in apology as he sent off the fierce staff member.
"I think Master Li is deliberately plotting against me," I whispered to Master Xiao after he had closed the broken door slightly ajar.
Master Xiao calmly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Just now, while we were eating, your master told Master Li that he forgot his things. It was Master Li who asked me to hurry back and check on you. He said if you happened to touch that bell, the sound could stimulate the Insect of Sorcery to sense the Evil Qi on you, which would control your body and make you poisoned again. That's why I rushed back to see you. Those two heat-emitting talismans were given to me by Master Li; he said they could drive away the Yin Gu's malevolent energy affecting you. He meant well, so don't be so suspicious."
"Is that so? Maybe I overthought it. But Master Li is really careless; he just tossed that bell on the ground and didn't take the Gu Poison Jar with him," I replied with dissatisfaction.
Master Xiao looked at me speechlessly and said, "If you just lay in bed, you wouldn't have any problems. Why are you running around? You brought this upon yourself, and now I couldn't even finish my meal. Remember that you owe me a meal."
"Fine, considering you came back in time, I'll temporarily owe you a meal from Shaxian. But that door was broken because you kicked it; I'm not covering for that." After saying this, I pulled the blanket over my head, signaling that I didn't want to talk anymore. The second update has arrived; good night to everyone.
