Hongyi silently went aside and saw with great interest what this old man was performing. He too sat down and waited for long minutes which gradually turned to hours but still no movements. Getting all bored Hongyi decided to continue with the basic work so he first started with building a fire. It wasn't too difficult for him to make one but still the slightly wet woods won't help.

After an hour of labour and techniques, he was finally able to build the fire and put a very thin stone on it so as to heat up the herbs he brought so as to apply on the injured young man and the old man. After finalising the content of the medicinal paste he got up only to see them still in the same posture.

'This man was injured yet he is meditating all the while. This bird has been flying for more than hours without flapping its wings still is as still as log.' Wondering all along he made his way to the injured man lying on the array. With careful movements as to not disturb or disfigure the array, he squatted down and slightly ajared the blood marred clothes on the lying figure. He tore the area of the cloth where something like a while hairpin was stabbed, and applied the herbs without removing the hairpin which would for now help in avoiding the gush of blood from the body. His hand slightly brushed the intricate patterns of the white pin which made a cut on his hand with a drop of blood mixing with the herbs on the wound. He quickly removed his hand and used another one to apply the rest of the medicinal herbs.

Delicately applying the herbs, he went to the old man and checked his pulse to see it working perfectly fine. Astonishment was clear on his face as he checked the heartbeat too. 'What in the hell did this old man do to recuperate so quickly?'

Days passed for Hongyi as Da Sa Ming continued to heal Shi Ying. The heavenly bird too has been radiating its spiritual energy to the grand priest. For time being, Hongyi has been collecting dry leaves and stacking them up so as to build a more stronger shade and till now has been able to make a shade and two walls out of dry leaves.

Its been eight days, he has been staying here with those two wierd creatures but this time it was different. The old man was awake inspecting the lying man and the bird was also not there.

"You are back from the meditating world?" Hongyi said as he started making fire for medicines again.

"Gounzi, is it you who has been applying these herbs to us?"

"Do you find anyone else here?"

"Apologies Gounzi and thankyou for your kindness." Da Sa Ming said slightly bowing.

"Gounzi, I have a question if you don't mind me asking."

"Go ahead."

"Why did you not remove the jade pin?"

"He has been healing and also the pin is helping to avoid bloodloss. I thought once you are back I would remove that with your help. I need assistance. I cannot do it without any help."

"Alright."

"I will heat the water and bring some clean clothes I have with me and few that I washed. We will do that." With a grateful nod from the old man Hongyi left with a container to get water.

'How is this possible! This soon? How can he heal so soon with me transferring my energy? Did this man do something? According to the ignorant looks to the blood array or the stillness of the bird, he should be suspicious. But he is all fine with only gazes which holds questions. This young master seems good with lots of tolerance and patience and accordingly it seems he is harmless. But this fast healing of Shi Ying is suspicious too. Has this Gounzi done anything?' Da Sa Ming's eyes widen when he realised what could have been. Was it really true? Was this mere mortal was the one? Too many suspicions.
