The path at the back of the mountain was longer than they had imagined. The stone lanterns on both sides of the path were completely covered by the weeds. Some of the branches even extended to the path, crossing each other and blocking the path.
It was obvious that the plants here were not too welcoming to humans. Mofan was currently in a fit of anger. He immediately set everything he saw on fire. He did not care if it was because of the rule that no one was allowed to set the mountain on fire in a peaceful place.
The path went up the slope of the mountain. Mofan saw an ancient building made of bricks and tiles on a platform that extended to the edge of the valley. It was hidden under the thick canopy of the trees and was covered by the weeds. They would not have noticed it if they did not see the path leading to it.
"I'll do it, don't burn the house down," Ai Jiangtu quickly stopped Mofan when he saw him trying to set the place on fire again.
His eyes flickered as he finished the sentence. A silver light burst out from his eyes and snapped the weeds ahead, producing a series of loud noises that sounded like firecrackers.
"Break!"
Ai Jiangtu's clothes fluttered wildly. In an instant, a gust of spatial energy surged out like a cutting wind, sweeping past the tiled house. As a result, the broken branches and bushes were all swept away. The path ahead was also much cleaner.
The run-down house was finally revealed after the cleanup.
It was an open temple hall. It was extremely small, with three stairs, a balcony, and a central room.
Mofan went up the stairs and fixed his eyes on something covered in dust on display in the central room …
"Phew ~"
Mofan blew at the object and discovered it was a wooden fish. The strange thing was, a wooden fish was supposed to be smooth and made to produce a sound, but the curved cover of the wooden fish was engraved with runes. The runes were intertwined with each other in a regular pattern. There were also strange words in the intertwined spaces. They did not look like Japanese, but more like ancient magic runes!
Mofan felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the runes, especially the messy and twisted words. He felt like he had seen them before.
"Why is there a wooden fish here?" Mo Fan touched it with his hand, but the wooden fish was really strange. It released a bright yellow lightning. The lightning quickly transmitted to Mo Fan's finger, and Mo Fan subconsciously retracted his hand.
"Restriction?" Jiang Shaoxu also looked at the wooden fish that looked like a discarded object in astonishment. His face was full of confusion.
Mofan could feel the numbness in his fingers as he stared at the lightning strands on the object.
"It looks like a piece of magic equipment. Strange, why is it here?" asked Nan Jue.
Nan Jue was an expert when it came to equipment. She walked up to the wooden clapper and inspected it carefully.
Mofan was even more confused. He had never heard of any Wooden Fish Equipment. What was the use of a Wooden Fish Demon Weapon? Was it possible that the Wooden Fish Demon Weapon was able to convince the enemy to lay down their weapons?
Nan Jue's hand hovered above the wooden fish. She did not touch it directly.
She closed her eyes and used her mind to sense the wooden fish. The yellow lightning didn't appear again. Instead, it gradually softened.
"It looks like a Shield Equipment, but it's not as simple as a shield. It contains some other power too," said Nan Jue.
"I just want to know if this thing is related to their souls being stolen," said Mofan.
"I'm not too sure about that either. Give me some time, I might be able to decipher the runes on it. This thing is very ancient. I've only seen it in Hangzhou, "said Nan Jue with a serious look.
It was most likely that there was no way forward. It was meaningless to continue searching. Since Nan Jue had said so, they had no choice but to sit aside and wait.
However, when Nan Jue mentioned Hangzhou, a thought suddenly crossed Mofan's mind!
Mofan remembered that Tangyue had once brought him to the island in the middle of West Lake. He remembered seeing an ancient pavilion there, with all kinds of drawings and strange runes on the walls. The runes were twisting and twisting, and somehow resembled the words on the wooden fish.
"This magic formation is pretty strong, can she crack it?" Jiang Shaoxu was quite knowledgeable. He asked Ai Jiangtu beside him.
Ai Jiangtu was quite familiar with Nan Jue. He glanced at the focused Nan Jue and said, "She's quite knowledgeable about formations, magic formations, and ancient Curses. I don't think there's a magic formation that she can't crack."
A magic formation was a kind of magic that prevented people from touching it, getting close to it, and suppressing their strength. It was similar to a magic formation, but it was supported by other things.
Tools were often the best carriers for restrictive spells. Therefore, although the wooden fish was covered with many strange ancient runes, it could actually be a tiny magic formation. Once someone touched it, it would release a very strong force to resist the intruder.
The yellow lightning was quite powerful. Mofan did not dare to touch it, even though he was a Lightning Cultivator.
Most importantly, a piece of magic equipment could not be used without breaking the magic formation.
Miyata and the others had no idea where she was. They could only wait and see if Nan Jue could find anything useful from the strange wooden fish.
Some time later, Nan Jue let out a snort. It was obvious that she was concentrating on the wooden fish. She would frown at times. It was obvious that she had encountered a difficult problem.
Jiang Shaoxu was getting impatient. He was about to say something when Nan Jue finally stopped inspecting the wooden fish.
"How is it?" asked Mofan.
Mofan was not too concerned about the wooden fish. He was more concerned about whether the wooden fish had anything to do with Miyata.
"I believe the girl you saw is most likely a Weapon Demon Spirit," said Nan Jue.
"A Weapon Demon Spirit? What's that?" It was Mofan's first time hearing about it. His eyes widened.
"It's really an ancient creature, since it takes a long time for a Demon Weapon Spirit to be born … you should know that the magic equipment and weapons we normally use are categorized into Ordinary, Spirit-Grade, and Soul-grade … the Spirit-Grade means the equipment has a spirit, while the Soul-grade means the equipment has a soul," said Nanyu.
Mofan was familiar with the categorization. It was similar to Elemental Seeds, Ordinary Seeds, Spiritual Seeds, Soul-grade Seeds …
