As I lifted my head and got up, I realized that the figure of the Heavenly Venerable had already disappeared, though his voice still floated around my ears.
"Heavenly Venerable, Heavenly Venerable!" With a start, I opened my eyes and found it was all a dream. Checking the sky, it was still early. I lit three sticks of incense in front of the Three Pure Ones' divine statues and kowtowed three times before standing up. Reflecting on the dream, the Heavenly Venerable's words seemed to make a lot of sense. My intent to kill ghostly entities had indeed been too strong. But would someone really come in three days?
I stretched and headed towards the back hall. Walking back and forth for more than four hours during the day had really made me tired. I might as well get some sleep first...
