Gu Yuan suddenly frowned, a gloomy look creeping over his face.
"Heyi, leave that wine jar under the incense table. I'll get home as soon as possible."
After saying that, he floored the accelerator. Our car snaked through the traffic like a swift serpent.
It seemed the situation was quite serious. I was on tenterhooks all the way home.
Finally, we made it back home before sunset.
As soon as we entered the house, Gu Yuan wasted no time and went straight to the incense table, pulling out the wine jar.
It was an old - fashioned black clay wine jar, sealed with a red cloth. A layer of beeswax had been poured on top, and two yellow talismans were cross - pasted tightly at the very top, mainly to suppress the thing inside and prevent it from causing trouble.
But when Gu Yuan pulled out the jar, it was obvious that the talismans were torn, and the red cloth, originally sealed with beeswax, had turned black, as if stained with ink.
The wine jar was constantly contracting and expanding, like a beating heart. There were obvious cracks on the jar body. Through the cracks, I seemed to see a blood - red eyeball peeping out.
The cracks were getting wider and wider, and the thing inside was about to break out.
"Lanlan, get two exorcism talismans."
"Okay." I quickly took out two exorcism talismans from the incense table and handed them to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was very skillful. In a few quick moves, he sealed the wine jar. Then he bit his finger and pressed it on the middle of the yellow talisman. The black cloth gradually turned back to its original red color.
"Is it suppressed?"
I stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yuan's hand. I felt quite sorry for him. He couldn't bite his finger every time he exorcised a ghost, could he?
"No wound?" I turned his hand over and over, saying.
At this time, Jixiang sighed and said, "He's a celestial being. Do you think he's an ordinary person like you? You'd be in pain for a month if you got a cut."
I glared at Jixiang angrily and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Jixiang raised his eyebrows at me, looking as if he could still annoy me even without saying a word.
I really wanted to kick him out of the Earth.
Gu Yuan's face was not looking good, which meant this thing was not so easy to suppress.
"Third Master, is there something wrong?" Jixiang didn't dare to be negligent and immediately became serious.
"This thing is very fierce. Originally, it was controlled by a sorcerer, but now it's out of control. I can only suppress it for a while."
"What's Su Xiaoxiao's purpose? Why did she send this disgusting thing to me?" I was angry just looking at the jar.
"Don't worry. Su Xiaoxiao will come back for this thing sooner or later. This thing drank her blood. Does she think she can get rid of it by throwing it to you? She really underestimates the power of the curse."
"The thing inside is quite scary. Are we really going to keep it at our place today?" The scene just now was still fresh in my mind, and I couldn't help shivering.
Just as I finished speaking, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
"Lanlan, are you home? It's Su Qiaoqiao."
Needless to say, it must be because of her sister.
After Gu Yuan and the others concealed their figures, I walked to the door and opened it. Su Qiaoqiao's face was all smeared with tears. She looked like a hanged ghost standing outside.
"What are you doing here so late?"
"Lanlan, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm here to get the jar back." Su Qiaoqiao's voice was trembling. It seemed she had been really scared.
"Did you send this jar here?" I looked at her coldly. I didn't need to be polite to someone who tried to frame me.
"I had no other choice. I thought if I sent this jar away, my sister would be okay. Who would have thought that my sister's condition has become even worse now. She's been yelling at me to get the jar back."
"Why me?"
"Because I heard from Yan Lin that there's an amazing celestial being on you. I thought if I sent it to you, everything would be okay. So I was just being stupid for a moment and sent it to you. Lanlan, I really didn't mean it."
"I was wrong. Please give the jar back to me. I'll take it away right now. Woo - hoo - hoo."
She was crying so pitifully, but I just couldn't feel sorry for her.
I turned to look at Gu Yuan. He motioned for Heyi to give the jar back to her.
As soon as Heyi got the order and reached out with the jar, Su Qiaoqiao snatched it back.
Then she turned around and left.
"This thing is very evil. The celestial being in our family only temporarily sealed it. It's definitely not a long - term solution. I think you'd better ask your sister to get rid of it."
After I said this, Su Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, then quickly got into the car and drove away.
Back in the living room, I still asked worriedly, "Is Su Qiaoqiao going to be okay? She looked really scary."
"Sis, you're being too kind - hearted. She treated you so badly, and you're still being nice to her." Heyi said, feeling indignant for me.
"But someone died after all. I don't want to hear the news of Su Qiaoqiao's death tomorrow morning."
Gu Yuan was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a tablet, as if looking for something.
I was curious and leaned over to see what he was looking at.
At this time, Heyi and the others were very considerate and left, leaving just Gu Yuan and me.
He was looking at the news about Su Xiaoxiao. One of the news items was a photo of her secretly meeting a sorcerer.
The paparazzi took very detailed and clear photos. She went in empty - handed, but when she came out, the wine jar that had just appeared in our house was in her arms.
Su Qiaoqiao had been following behind her the whole time.
"Gu Yuan, do you want to get involved in this?" I leaned on his shoulder, put my arm around his, and gently stroked it.
"Who asked me to have a kind - hearted wife?" This guy started to tease me.
"No, I won't be kind - hearted anymore. I don't want my husband to be in danger. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. If she really did something immoral, this is her doom."
Seeing that I was speaking so reasonably, Gu Yuan couldn't help curling his charming lips. He put down the tablet in his hand and pulled me into his arms.
"You're really worthy of being my disciple. You're getting better and better."
"Of course. I'll have a good life following you. Hee - hee - hee."
Gu Yuan gently kissed my forehead and continued, "This girl will come to our door again tomorrow. If you don't help, the evil ghost in the jar will kill the two sisters sooner or later."
"Is it really that serious? Isn't the curse usually aimed at the person who is cursed?" I asked.
"Normally it is, but now the person who was cursed is dead. The evil spirit in the jar won't disperse, and it will backfire."
"Shouldn't we ask Su Qiaoqiao to find that sorcerer? Maybe he can take it back."
"I hope this sorcerer is powerful enough to break Su Xiaoxiao's blood curse."
I didn't expect this thing to be so vicious. Even Gu Yuan seemed a bit troubled.
I secretly made up my mind that if Su Qiaoqiao really came to our door tomorrow, I would just turn her down.
Gu Yuan had been driving for a whole day today, and I had classes tomorrow, so we went to bed early.
Early the next morning, I took a taxi to school.
Just as I was entering the school gate and hadn't even got out of the taxi yet, Su Xiaoxiao had already rolled down the car window and was waiting for me.
She had two dark circles under her eyes and a blank stare. It was obvious that she hadn't slept all night.
I didn't pay attention to her but walked straight towards the school.
"You're Lan Chiyu, right? We've met before. I need your help. I heard from my sister that the celestial being in your family's shrine is very powerful. Just name your price."
"Ms. Su, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. You'd better find a sorcerer to deal with this. I can't handle it."
Seeing that I wasn't interested in money and flatly refused her, she suddenly got out of the car in a hurry and grabbed my arm, not letting me go. This action was like a crazy person suddenly rushing up and grabbing my arm when I was shopping. It really scared me.
"That sorcerer is dead. That's why I'm coming to you. Please help me. I'll pay whatever you ask, as long as you name a price."
If this thing was really that cruel, I definitely couldn't let Gu Yuan take the risk.
I shook off her arm and said angrily, "I said I can't help you. It's no use pestering me."
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the school gate.
Suddenly, a man rushed up from behind, covering my mouth and nose. A strong smell of ether filled my nostrils, and then I completely lost consciousness and knew nothing.
