Pei Xiao and Pei Jin were waiting nervously outside.

After about a moment, Zhang Jinghong came out with a happy face, holding a contract with wet ink in his hand, and said:

"The temple master agreed to treat Brother Jin, but he asked my brother-in-law to rewrite two contracts according to this, seal them, and have the villagers bear witness to them, so that no one can use this to cause trouble in the future."

Pei Xiao took the contract and read it, and saw the following terms and conditions were strictly stated:

In order to ask the abbot of Cihang Temple to cure his eldest son Pei Jin, Jingnan Earl Pei Xiao presented a jade Buddha, gold and other offerings, and asked his third daughter Pei Rong to serve in Cihang Temple for twelve years. He was not allowed to take Pei Rong back or ask for the offerings back under any circumstances.

After Pei Xiao read it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Neither these offerings nor Pei Rong, the concubine's daughter, meant anything to the entire Earl's Mansion.

Then, when signing such a contract, there is no need to worry about any negative impact.

This contract was newly written. It was probably because the Cihang Temple was satisfied with the generous offerings, and was worried that the Bo family would use the money to cause trouble and harm the Cihang Temple in the future, so they wrote a temporary contract.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiao did it without much hesitation.

Under the witness of the onlookers, he signed three deeds, stamped them with his own seal, kept one for himself, and handed the other two to Cihang Temple.

"The temple master has ordered that only Master Pei can enter."

Huiyun said.

With so many people as witnesses, there was no need to worry that Cihang Temple would harm Pei Jin, so after Pei Jin was carried into Cihang Temple, the people from Cihang Temple took over his wheelchair.

When it came time to cross the first threshold, Pei Jin took the initiative to say:

"I'll get up. You guys help me over first, and then bring the wheelchair over."

Young people aged thirteen or fourteen are always more likely to believe in strange stories.

In addition, Pei Jin was so eager to recover his health. Ever since he learned about the magical powers of the abbot of Cihang Temple from his uncle, he had always dreamed of coming for treatment.

Now that he had finally gotten the temple master's agreement, he didn't want to give the master a bad impression before he was cured, so he was very considerate and polite even to the most ordinary Taoist nun.

"No need."

As he was talking, the Kun Dao who was pushing him lifted him and his wheelchair over the threshold, then placed them on the ground with great ease and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

Pei Jin was completely stunned. When Kun Dao brought him over another threshold for the second time, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"The Taoist priest is really born with great strength. I admire him!"

He weighed about 170 to 180 kilograms including the wheelchair, yet the nun was able to lift him over such a high threshold effortlessly. If she wasn't born with great strength, then what could she be?

Unexpectedly, Kun Dao smiled and said:

"You are joking, young master. There is no such thing as innate strength. These are the magical powers that the temple master has passed on to disciples like me."

Pei Jin was in a good mood because he was about to receive treatment, and he was also very curious. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask:

"So, the Taoist priest is not the only one who has this great strength?"

"That's right. The master has taught thirteen people in total, and each of them has the same strength as me."

Pei Jin was immediately amazed.

Even before meeting him, I had already developed a certain admiration for the mysterious master.

When they saw Chen Qingzhu sitting at the top with a veil on her head, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they felt that she was covered with a layer of mysterious aura and their attitude was extremely respectful.

"I am unable to move and stand up to pay my respects. I hope the master will forgive me."

"It's okay, you'll be able to move as usual soon."

From above came the voice of the temple master, which sounded like the collision of gold and jade.

Pei Jin understood the meaning, and her pale face flushed with excitement and a smile that was about to overflow:

"Thank you so much, Master!"

After saying that, Pei Jin quickly lifted himself and the wheelchair into the air, moved smoothly, and then landed steadily in front of the master.

He was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Control objects from a distance!

This is a method that only gods in legends would use!

The abbot of this temple can cure all kinds of diseases, can show his supernatural powers to others at will, and can control objects from a distance. He is clearly a real immortal!

Just as my thoughts were boiling, I heard the cold voice of the temple master:

"Okay, I'm going to start treating you. Close your eyes and calm down."

The tone was not harsh, but it made people obey subconsciously.

Pei Jin tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, closed her eyes and calmed her breathing.

Then he felt a warm current pouring down from the top of his head, flowing precisely to his limbs, gathering in his hands and lower limbs which had once been numb.

He could gradually feel the warmth.

More and more warmth gathered, making his withered limbs feel hotter and hotter, but his body felt extremely comfortable.

All the pain and depression he had experienced were soothed, and he felt a peace he had never felt before.

Not long after, he heard the master's voice again in his ears:

"Okay, get up and try your hands and feet."

Pei Jin stood up subconsciously, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she could stand up from the wheelchair on her own.

He took a few more steps, just as agile as before he fell ill!

He clenched his fingers, controlling them with ease, and waved his fists, powerfully.

His eyes sparkled with joy, and his face was filled with ecstasy:

"I'm fine! I'm fine!"

Then, with endless admiration, he looked at the tall and mysterious figure whose face he couldn't see clearly, and bowed deeply:

"Thank you, Master, for curing my strange disease. I will always be grateful for your kindness in saving my life!"

In just a moment, the strange disease that all famous doctors are helpless to treat can be cured, and there is no pain or feeling. What a miraculous method!

Pei Jin was completely impressed by the master at this moment, and his gratitude was extremely sincere.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the master, who had always been calm, had a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice:

"Strange disease? Don't you know you've been poisoned?"

Pei Jin's joy suddenly froze for a moment:

"Poisoned?"

Seeing his confused look, the master couldn't help but shook his head, with a hint of pity in his tone:

"You have suffered such a disaster, but you are completely unaware of the truth! In this case, I can save you once, but I cannot save you forever."

Pei Jin was not stupid. Hearing this, he keenly perceived the key information and immediately knelt down and begged:

"Please give me some pointers!"

"Well, since you are asking sincerely, I will give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to suffer this misfortune again, stay away from your stepmother."

Pei Jin thought of how gentle, kind and caring Zhang was towards her and found it hard to believe.

But the master of the temple in front of him was clearly a living immortal, omniscient and omnipotent, so how could what she said be false?

Furthermore, the relationship between stepmother and stepson is inherently antagonistic and sensitive. He had heard many stories in the academy about legitimate sons with stepmothers being harmed by them.

It is not impossible that Zhang harmed him.

"But... she can't have children, so she can only rely on me for her retirement. Why would she want to hurt me like this?"

Upon hearing this, the temple master said meaningfully:

"Young people should not be too assertive when speaking."

Pei Jin wanted to ask more, but the abbot waved his sleeves and sent him out of the reception hall.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go figure it out yourself."
