"Gu Siye, wake up quickly, wake up quickly, Gu Siye..." No matter how Li Zhi called out to him, he could not wake him up.
As time ticked away, Li Zhiyi could only bite her finger and put it into Gu Siye's mouth, but it was still useless, because Gu Siye was originally a person with the Purple Star destiny, so her blood had little effect.
Gu Siye's thoughts had drifted back to his past life. He was a majestic general, but he fell in love with a little maid. However, his father disapproved and wanted to execute the little maid.
He fled the capital with his maid overnight, but was chased by soldiers all the way to the outskirts of the city. In the end, the two were caught and brought back.
Then his father forced him to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. On his wedding day, he wore a bright red wedding dress, but his face was full of sorrow.
During the wedding ceremony, a person who had hanged himself suddenly fell from the roof beam in the main hall. This person was none other than his beloved maid, Susu.
In that instant, his heart died. He frantically ran out of the lobby, found a knife, and intended to end his life with it.
Suddenly he heard someone calling his name, "Gu Siye, Gu Siye, wake up quickly..." He asked in surprise, "Who is calling me?"
The knife in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he fainted. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in an elevator.
Everything that just happened felt like a dream, but the dream was so real that he couldn't break free from it.
Every glance and smile of that little maid was so captivating, and that bright red wedding dress was so dazzling. The little maid, Susu, even died on his wedding night.
Seeing his pale face, Li Zhi asked with concern, "Are you alright? Did you encounter something scary?"
"Yeah, it's nothing, just a nightmare."
Li Zhiyi reminded him, "That's not a dream, it's an illusion. I just fell into one too."
Gu Siye wondered to himself, was that just an illusion? In the illusion, how come he was a great general in his past life? Who was that little maid? He only knew that he and the little maid were in love, and the little maid's name was Susu, but his family objected.
Even after the little maid hanged herself in his wedding hall, he still couldn't see her true face, but his heart felt bitter and painful!
Li Zhiyi had no time to care about his feelings. This place was too strange. Even someone with such a strong will could fall into an illusion; this place was definitely not simple. She had to find clues quickly. In her dream, she remembered that there was a round sphere on the top of the tallest tower. "Let's go, let's go to the top floor."
This time, the elevator operated without any problems and quickly reached the top floor. Li Zhi immediately spotted the spherical object.
She leaped onto the sphere and began to observe it. She wrote a manifestation talisman and pasted it onto the sphere. A strange thing happened: several large characters were written on it: "Disciple, return to your country."
Li Zhi was overjoyed. The handwriting was his master's. His master was not dead, and his master had foreseen everything he did. His master was truly a prophet!
After Li Zhi happily came down from upstairs, she couldn't hide her smile. Gu Siye didn't know why she was so happy at the moment. When the two of them returned to the auction venue, the auction was about to begin.
When Gu Nianzhi saw that her sister-in-law and brother had finally returned, she waved happily and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, over here!"
"Why did you take so long? We were so worried!"
"Hehe, it's alright, we'll be able to go back to China soon." Li Zhiyi was really happy, which meant that his master was not dead. There must have been something that delayed him, which was why he hadn't shown up to see him yet.
In the hall, the auctioneer announced loudly, "Hello everyone, please be quiet. First of all, welcome to our auction at Haitian Building. I am the auctioneer for this auction. Now, please welcome the first item."
After a round of enthusiastic applause, a hostess came out with a tray containing an exquisite pendant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me now introduce the arrival of this amulet. It was made by an Ajarn master from a Puning temple after 49 days of burning incense and chanting. It is a powerful amulet that will not cause any harm to people. The starting bid is five million. Bidding begins."
"I'll offer five million one hundred thousand."
"I'll offer five and a half million."
The enthusiasm was high, and the item was eventually sold to a wealthy woman for eight million yuan.
The items up for auction were all very strange and unusual, but Li Zhizhi wasn't interested in any of them. Just as he was about to leave,
The tray in the hostess's hands contained something familiar to Li Zhiyi: a bluish-gray bell of unknown material.
"Don't let its unattractive appearance fool you; this small item is actually a treasure. It's said that when a demon appears, this bell will ring. It's called the Demon-Catching Bell. The starting price is three million. Anyone interested?" The auctioneer himself didn't believe that this broken bell could catch demons.
Someone in the room couldn't help but laugh: "Where are the demons? It would be more believable to say there are ghosts."
"Haha, what era are we living in? Monsters? You're really trying to fool people. I wouldn't take it even if it were given to me for free."
Li Zhiyi's eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "This is my master's thing! How could it be here?" Moreover, this is not the Demon-Catching Bell, but the Time-Reversal Bell, which can reverse time. His master said that this thing should not be used unless absolutely necessary, so his master has never used it before.
"What? Then hurry up and make an offer!" Fu Yanche became anxious upon hearing this.
Gu Siye immediately called out his bid: "I'll offer ten million."
As soon as he spoke, the hall fell silent. Everyone felt that a broken bell was definitely not worth the price, so no one bid.
"No, that's too much." Li Zhiyi knew that if he were to earn ten million, he didn't know how long it would take to pay it back.
"Oh, sister-in-law, ten million is nothing to my family, so don't worry about it." Gu Nianzhi thought that even if her brother didn't buy it for her sister-in-law, she would still buy it. She had been looking at it for so long, and this was the only thing her sister-in-law wanted, and it even belonged to her master.
The auctioneer exclaimed excitedly, "Anyone else bidding? Ten million each time!"
"Ten million twice."
Just when everyone thought the matter was about to be settled, someone suddenly shouted, "I'll bid eleven million!"
