Chapter 90
What he meant by letting things take their course was that I shouldn't worry about the changes happening to me.
In fact, it is like this sometimes. No matter how hard you try, you can’t figure it out. But after hearing a word from someone else, you may figure it out. I am in this state now.
When I mentioned the changes in my internal energy to him, he too was amazed; he had never seen such energy before. Whenever this energy emerged within me, the bracelet would subtly brew a thunderous force, repelling me intensely.
Finally, I had to return the bracelet to Zhang Jingzhi.
I stayed in the Tianshi Mansion for a while, and finally, after a joint discussion with Master Zhang, Zhang Pingyin and Zhang Jingzhi, they finally confirmed that the energy generated by my body should be the energy mutation after the divine punishment.
I suddenly remembered that before I was struck by the thunderbolt, I had released a similar energy in a fit of excitement, but the energy was so huge that it directly shattered the white porcelain doll. Then I was struck by the thunderbolt, and I could no longer gain any energy.
There are many reasons why I was able to save my life. First, I had saved many ghosts before, so I can be considered a person with merits. Second, the Yuhao Stone and the protective magic weapon given to me by Master Jinghai worked, otherwise I would have been reduced to ashes under that heavenly thunder.
The energy generated in my body now, compared with the energy emitted that day, is a bit like being reborn. It is not enough to provoke divine punishment, and its nature has not changed much.
After I figured it out, life began to flow within me, a constant flow of energy gathering and eventually taking shape. However, once it took shape, no matter how hard I practiced, the energy wouldn't increase. It was more like a self-preservation mechanism, as if it had its own consciousness.
Inside the Zhenwu Hall, I released the energy and they looked at me with curiosity.
It was also the first time I saw this kind of energy with my naked eyes. It was black and like a candle flame, jumping back and forth on my four fingers.
When I released this flame, my whole body felt cool and refreshed.
"Is it this big?" asked Master Zhang.
“It can only be this big,” I said.
They all looked at the energy flame in my hand, and finally looked at Zhang Jingzhi. I looked at him too, hoping he could tell me the answer.
Unfortunately, he also didn't know what this energy was.
I tried to cast spells from the Yin Fu Lu, but my most skilled Fire Bell Technique was completely unusable. This might be due to the nature of the energy. I could manage some formations, though. What surprised us most was that the killing talismans created with this energy were even more powerful than those of Taoist masters.
My mindset is now open. I no longer think about things that I can't understand. This situation is much better than before.
During my time at the Tianshi Mansion, I've noticed Erma's rapid progress, already capable of solving minor problems on her own. You have to remember, she's only just entered the Xuan Sect, and Li Danyang has been teaching her on her behalf. Liu Danchen and I both felt she was extraordinary from the start, but I never imagined she had such a natural talent for this particular path.
"You are so awesome!" I praised her.
Her face flushed, a little shy. Master Zhang was also very satisfied with this apprentice and joked, "I didn't expect Erma to learn so quickly. I'm afraid that in a few years, Danyang won't be able to teach her anymore."
"Brother Danyang can't teach you, so you have to do it yourself."
"So I have to hurry up and enjoy my life. Now I'll send them to handle any matters."
"That's good, it's a good exercise."
At the Tianshi Temple, many believers come to worship. If something happens in some places, after discussion and evaluation by everyone, the corresponding people will be sent to solve the problem.
While I was chatting with them, Qingyun opened the door and said respectfully, "Master, there is a layperson outside who wants to see you."
Master Zhang said, "Look, this is happening. Let's go together."
Master Zhang was walking in front, and Erma and I were walking behind. When I passed Qingyun, I was about to touch his hair, but he dodged quickly and made faces at me.
When Erma saw this scene, she covered her mouth and laughed.
I looked at Qingyun viciously.
Actually, it was to scare him.
When they arrived at the reception hall, a young woman came forward. She bowed respectfully to Master Zhang and said, "Master, my grandfather has been talking nonsense lately, saying he saw someone wandering around our house, but we didn't see anything. This morning, he suddenly hid at home and said someone outside wanted to take him away. He was talking nonsense. Can you go and take a look?"
After further investigation, I learned that the woman's name was Wang Shan. Two or three days ago, her grandfather suddenly developed this condition and was now in a bad mental state. From her description, it seemed like he had simply encountered a ghost.
Master Zhang immediately asked Erma to go with her to deal with it.
Wang Shan was a little skeptical when she saw Erma was a younger girl than herself. Finally, Master Zhang reassured her that Erma was his direct disciple.
Wang Shan felt relieved after hearing this. To be Master Zhang's direct disciple, he must be very capable.
I had nothing to do anyway, so I told Master Zhang that I could go with Erma so that we could look after each other on the way. So, Erma and I followed Wang Shan to their village.
Along the way, through conversations with Wang Shan, we learned that their village was far away, but his grandfather was a lay Buddhist at the Tianshi Mansion and often came there to worship, occasionally bringing her along. Now that her grandfather was in trouble, her first reaction was to come to the Tianshi Mansion for help.
The three of us took the bus and arrived at their village after dark.
This village is called Longwang Temple. There are about two to three hundred households in the entire village, which is not small.
When we arrived at Wang Shan's house, her grandfather was curled up in the quilt. A woman in her forties or fifties was looking after him. She was a little fat, very enthusiastic, and at first glance she looked like the carefree type.
"Auntie, thank you so much today." Wang Shan said.
This woman was her neighbor. Since Wang Shan's parents were working outside, she and her grandfather were the only ones left at home, so she called her neighbor to help look after the children, otherwise she would not be able to get away.
"It's okay, it's okay. There's nothing to thank me for. It's just that Brother Wang's jumpy behavior made me a little scared." said the woman.
"Let's eat here tonight. I'll cook now." Wang Shan said.
"Everything is ready at home. Come with me to my house to eat something. Don't let these two little masters go hungry." She said with a smile.
"That won't do. Please don't leave."
The two of them argued for a while, and finally the woman went home to eat.
While Wang Shan was cooking, Erma and I kept observing her grandfather's condition. He kept covering his head with the quilt and didn't dare to stick it out.
Wang Shan was originally planning to prepare a sumptuous meal, but I advised her to just have something to fill her stomach and let’s see what was going on first.
