After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I quickly shook my head and said, "No, since Master Hui Jing has calculated that I will come to find him, I must go up the mountain to find him tonight. If I don't go, he will think that I despise him, and it will be difficult to ask him for help again."

Gongsun Wen certainly understood this, but he was really worried about me going up the mountain alone, so he held my hand tightly, full of worry.

I don’t understand why Gongsun Wen suddenly became so gentle to me, nor do I understand why there is always an indelible sadness in Gongsun Wen’s eyes every time he sees me, but I know that he is truly doing this for my own good, and I will repay those who are good to me a thousandfold.

I turned around, hugged Gongsun Wen gently, and said, "Don't worry, I'm lucky, I'll be fine."

Gongsun Wen was so frightened by my sudden hug that he froze. Before he could react, I had entered the door and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

There are stairs on this mountain road, so it is not very difficult to walk on. When I entered the gate, the monk guarding the gate handed me a lantern. Although the candlelight in the lantern was a little dim, it was not difficult to go up the mountain along the stairs.

The snow on the mountain had not yet begun to melt, and as gusts of cold air hit me, my head began to feel dizzy.

From time to time, the cries of night crows could be heard from the pitch-dark mountain. Even if I were the bravest person, I would still feel a little scared at this moment.

I don't know how long I walked, but I kept holding the handle of the lantern tightly in my hand, as if the faint light of the lantern was the only source of my courage. If I didn't have the lantern in my hand, I would turn around and run away.

As they were walking, Hui Jing's generous and gentle voice suddenly came from above their heads: "Ah Man, you are here?"

When I heard Hui Jing's voice, I suddenly wanted to cry. I had been walking in the dark for so long, God knows how panicked I was!

Hui Jing stood quietly in front of the house, his gray monk robe rustling in the mountain breeze, but he was like a stone sculpture, motionless.

I hurried to Hui Jing and cried, "Master Hui Jing, are you waiting for me? This mountain road is so dark, I'm so scared."

Master Hui Jing took the lantern from my hand and said, "Yes, I have been waiting for you. Ah Man, please follow me."

I was so cold that my nose was running. I wiped it with my sleeve while Huijing wasn't paying attention, then followed Huijing into the house happily.

I entered the room and found it was a temple with several large Buddha statues. Unfortunately, I didn't recognize any of them.

Hui Jing blew out the candle in the lantern, put it behind the door, and took me to the Buddha statue. He pointed at the cushion and said, "Kneel down."

I knelt down obediently, clasped my hands together, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Hui Jing sat on another cushion, picked up a wooden fish, closed his eyes, and chanted scriptures while beating it.

I knelt on the cushion, not daring to move, and listened quietly to the scriptures that I could not understand at all.

After a long while, I was kneeling all over and almost falling asleep when the sound of the wooden fish stopped.

I quickly opened my eyes, which seemed to be glued together, and dimly saw Hui Jing put down the wooden fish and bowed to the Buddha. Then he said to me, "Ah Man, have you noticed that your personality has changed a lot since you were injured?"

I shook my dizzy head and said to myself, "Has your personality changed?"

I thought about it and said, "I seem to have become a little timid. I used to be not afraid to walk into the Royal Academy alone at night, but tonight I was afraid to death just walking on this mountain road."

"Anything else?" Hui Jing continued to ask.

I thought about it again and said, "My appetite has decreased a lot. I always felt hungry before, but now I don't even want to eat. I am always sleepy and I still feel sleepy after sleeping for a whole day."

Hui Jing sighed and said, "You were seriously injured this time, and your body has become dilapidated. Fortunately, you have the magic pearl given by the river god in your body, otherwise your soul would have left your body long ago. But even if your soul did not leave your body, you have still damaged your foundation. Your soul is extremely unstable in your body. The main consciousness of your original body is gradually dominating this body. If this continues, this body will expel your soul from the body, and you will then become a lonely ghost. As for whether your soul will fly away, I can't say for sure."

I was startled when I heard this and woke up from my nap. I quickly asked, "Master Hui Jing, what should I do now?"

Hui Jing said: "Of course I want to help you calm your soul. You have a divine pearl in your body, but you don't know how to merge with it, so the divine pearl is only in your body and has not played the greatest role. Now, as long as you activate the divine pearl to merge with your body, it will have the effect of calming your soul."

It turns out Hui Jing really has a way to help me.

I was very happy to hear that, and asked quickly: "Then how do I activate the divine pearl to merge with my body?"

Hui Jing shook his head and said, "You are too weak and don't have the ability to activate the magic pearl now."

Isn't it all in vain that Hui Jing has been talking for so long?

I suddenly felt like a deflated ball. I lay on the mat and pounded the ground, howling loudly.

Hui Jing looked at me who seemed to have lost my will and smiled helplessly. He raised his hand and hit me on the neck with a knife, knocking me unconscious.

After I fainted, I didn't see Hui Jing's whole body emitting golden light. He stretched out his golden hands and pressed them on my back, chanting scriptures. I saw the white bead in my body suddenly spinning wildly, and a milky white light enveloped my whole body.

In my dream, I just felt warm all over, as if soaking in warm water. The pain in my body was slowly disappearing. The last flash of dazzling white light passed by, and I fell into a complete sleep.

When I woke up, I was still lying on the wooden bed at the foot of Huangjue Temple.

I rolled my eyes around and saw Gongsun Wen sleeping soundly on the table.

I sat up with a somersault and moved my hands and feet. Suddenly, the pain in my whole body was gone!

I tried to gather my internal energy, which gushed out from my dantian. I heard a crackling sound, and the bed I was sleeping on collapsed!

I sat in a pile of rotten wood and smiled foolishly. My inner strength was back! My martial arts were back!

Gongsun Wen heard a loud noise in his sleep and jumped up. He turned around and saw that the bed I was sleeping on had collapsed for some reason. I was lying on the collapsed bed board, grinning foolishly, as if I had gone mad.

Gongsun Wen was so scared that he rushed over to me, tore off the broken wood from my body, and picked me up. I took the opportunity to hug Gongsun Wen's neck, and said with a smile: "My inner strength is back."

Gongsun Wen was frozen by my hug. He twisted his neck and said, "This is a temple. Don't mess around."

Seeing that he didn't find it strange at all, I pouted and said, "Do you know everything?"

Gongsun Wen put me on a chair and said, "When Master Hui Jing sent someone to bring you back last night, he told me that your injury had been healed."

I poured myself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, licked my lips and said, "I just found out that my injury has healed, but I didn't expect you to know it earlier than me."
