I think I've been away for just a few days, but it feels like I don't know many things and many things have happened. I wonder if Master knows about this. The temple is actually not far from here. I think it's necessary to go back once. Xile said he wants to go to Zhulü Valley after dawn, I said okay, after finishing, I want to go back to the temple.

  Spare the rod and spoil the child, I said to Xi Le: just a little bit earlier.

  Xile said: Nonsense, actually I found out early on, it was me who wanted to pull Xiao Bian along, but Xiao Bian looked silly and couldn't be pulled.

  I said: Alright, let's assume so. I still had doubts in my heart. Let's go to sleep first.

  I turned around and kicked the stupid horse, which finally came to its senses. It must have been quite frightened too, as a fellow twice its size had just rolled by in front of it. I thought that after witnessing this scene, it would probably think that accidents really do happen nine times out of ten, and would never take another step again.

  The Liu Xiang Street is very long, and at the most prosperous place, there is a hotel called Liu Xiang Building. I said: Let's stay there then.

  Xile said: No way, it's too expensive there, we don't have much silver left.

  How much more?

  Xile said: About 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

  I was startled and asked: Where did it come from?

  Hehe, haha, looking around and seeing no one, he pulled out a bottle from his bag, almost laughing to the point of falling over: Haha, haha, I stole a bottle of antidote from Wan Yong's house, what was it called again? Wan Poison Powder or Hundred Poison Powder.

  I was shocked: you can also get away with this?

  Xile said: I think Wan Yong is not a good person, but this antidote is very useful. In the future, we can eat delicious food at the Wulin Conference with peace of mind.

  I actually said: Not bad.

  Since I was young, my master taught me what not to do, but he didn't say what to do. He said that apart from what shouldn't be done, everything else should be done. However, stealing is absolutely not allowed. I have always despised thieves, yet when Xi Le stole a bottle of expensive water, I actually praised him. Why? Is it because I had already lost my judgment towards Xi Le's behavior? Or was Wan Yong never a good person in my subconscious? Or was it due to the pressure of making a living? Amitabha.

  After confession, I asked: Xi Le, how did you do it?

  Xile said: Oh, just take it out casually.

  I said: Didn't anyone discover it?

  Xile said: If even you didn't notice, who else would?

  I said: This is not very good.

  Xile said: Not very good? Hey, you think I'm a thief?

  I said: It doesn't mean that, it's just what Master said, can't steal.

  Xile said: I heard Wan Yong say that you had a very difficult journey, and didn't know how many times you would encounter unknown poisons, so I secretly took a bottle. It's not stealing, it's secretly taking. Stealing and secretly taking are different, do you understand?

  I said: I understand.
