Why does health fall when no enemy hits me?

Game Rerun guide
Overview
Jaleco published the original Saiyuuki World for Famicom in 1988. This is a Chinese fan translation. After the pilgrimage, the Bull Demon King captures Sanzo, sending Goku on a new journey to the demon’s cave.
Progress involves entering buildings as well as fighting and jumping. Talk to their occupants and shop for equipment. Weapons, armour and footwear affect how you handle encounters, so balance gear purchases against supplies.
Health drains with time as well as enemy hits. A golden pill can revive Goku when his health runs out, while reaching score milestones increases maximum health. Collecting items and finding a direct route both matter.
Rescued monks leave directional clues for the later maze. The sequel, Saiyuuki World II, instead centres on six selectable regions and powers earned from bosses.

FAQ
How do I enter hidden rooms?
