…
The monks were sent to the hospital. Japan had its own City Hunters too, but since the problem was solved, the monks did not want to cause any more trouble.
After returning to Yanming Temple, Mofan quickly went to the place where Mu Ningxue was resting and saw her awake. Nan Rongni was feeding her a bowl of fragrant mushroom soup.
A smile appeared on Mo Fan's face when he saw that she was fine.
"Strange, I feel like I've been asleep for a long time. Why did the sun just set when I woke up?" asked Zhao Manyan with a confused voice.
It seemed like the guy was still clueless about what had happened. Mofan was too lazy to explain it to him.
"When we came back, the people whose souls were stolen seemed to have woken up too. However, their souls had been separated from their bodies for too long, and most of their soul energy had been stolen. Even if they woke up, their bodies would be a lot weaker, and their lifespan would be shorter. It's difficult to recover from the damage to their souls," said Jiang Yu.
"They always say Japan is full of monsters, but we still stumbled into them when we came to this peaceful place of Buddhism, sigh!"
"The people of the Magic Association in Xixiong City are most likely looking into it. They will soon find out that we're here illegally. We should leave as soon as possible, Tokyo is still quite a distance away," said Nan Jue.
Xixiong City was the westernmost part of Japan, while Tokyo was in the east. They basically had to travel across the whole of Japan. It was quite a long journey since they could not take a plane.
…
The next morning, the group was ready to leave Xixiong City. Nan Rongni was looking around with a bowl of medicine.
"Did you see Zhao Manyan? He hasn't taken his medicine yet, "asked Nan Rongni.
"No, he's been missing since early in the morning. Holy crap, did something happen to him again?" Mofan's heart skipped a beat.
"Isn't he over there!?" Jiang Yu pointed at the path behind the temple.
Zhao Manyan quickly ran back from the back of the mountain and rejoined the group in just a few steps. Guan Yu was quite displeased with him, as he had wasted quite a lot of time here. He even said in a cold voice, "Can you stop running around? Are you seriously treating the training as a vacation?"
Zhao Manyan was too lazy to pay attention to Mo Fan. She sneaked to Mofan's side and nudged Mofan. "Let me tell you, I had a very long dream yesterday. It was related to the back of the mountain behind the temple. The things in the dream were too complicated, so I won't tell you one by one. In short, it seemed like it was predestined …"
"Uh, didn't anyone tell you what happened?" Mofan said.
"What happened … Alas, don't worry about it. I woke up early in the morning and ran to the mountain behind the temple. Guess what I saw?" Zhao Manyan said mysteriously, with a gleam of joy in his eyes.
"I'm guessing it was a wooden clapper carved with ancient words," said Mofan.
Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded. He subconsciously raised his thumb at Mofan and said, "You're a genius, how did you manage to guess it? It was really a wooden clapper, just like the scene in my dream, so I took it away. I'm sure it's a piece of treasure! "
Saying this, Zhao Manyan slowly lifted a piece of cloth in front of his chest. Inside it was the strange wooden clapper from the temple!
Mofan was given a great fright. He quickly took a few steps back.
Zhao Manyan was even more confused. What was so scary about a wooden clapper?
"Holy crap, how did you take it away?" Mofan stared at the eerie wooden clapper in disbelief.
"How am I supposed to take it? I just took it with my hand … (sigh), I know it's not a good idea to steal it, but that place is indeed a little abandoned. I might as well take it with me instead of leaving it there to rust. Besides, I felt like it was calling out to me when I was asleep, and it was related to my dream. This thing … is destined to be with me!" Zhao Manting said seriously.
Mofan had no idea how to explain the situation. As a matter of fact, they had returned to the temple after taking care of Nara Orisora to figure out what to do with the wooden clapper. To their surprise, the barrier around the wooden clapper was still quite strong. They had no idea what to do with it.
They could not even touch the wooden clapper, let alone take it away!
To their surprise, Zhao Manyan had found the wooden clapper according to his dream and took it away!
Did the barrier not have any effect on him?
"Nan Jue, can you take a look at this?" Mofan sensed that something was not right. He quickly called Nan Jue over.
Nan Jue inspected the wooden clapper and discovered that it was still connected to Zhao Manyan's soul. She could not tell if it was because it had taken away Zhao Manyan's soul, or because the clapper had lost its master …
Mofan reached out his hand to see if he could touch the wooden clapper. As he thought, the yellow barrier appeared once again, producing a strong repulsive force. Zhao Manyan was so scared that he almost threw the wooden clapper away.
However, when Zhao Manyan went to pick it up, the wooden clapper returned to its original appearance. It did not pose any threat to him.
Nan Jue frowned and fell into deep thought.
She glanced at Mofan and called Mofan to the side.
"What's going on? Is there anything wrong with the wooden clapper? It looks quite evil. I think it's better if we don't take it away," Mofan said.
"First of all, the wooden clapper has already acknowledged its master. That person was Zhao Manyan, who was the first to lose his soul. I'm guessing it has something to do with the dream Zhao Manyan mentioned. Zhao Manyan wasn't dreaming. His soul must have gone deep into the wooden clapper and received its acknowledgment," Nan Jue said.
The barrier did not only apply to Mofan, but the others too. No one, including Mu Ningxue, was allowed to touch the wooden clapper.
"Is that even possible?" Mofan was lost for words.
How did Zhao Manting find such an evil artifact just by sleeping for a short while?
"Logically speaking, since you killed the wooden clapper's evil spirit, it's more likely that the wooden clapper belongs to you. However, when I took a closer look, I realized that the wooden clapper is rejecting you even more … I don't think it's rejecting you. It's more like it's afraid of you. Therefore, based on my deduction, the wooden clapper must have been ownerless for many years. That's why it nurtured an evil spirit. Under normal circumstances, the wooden clapper would choose the person who defeated its evil spirit as its new master. However, it's rejecting you even more strongly. This only means that you already have a Companion Vessel, and it's very likely to be of a higher rank than the wooden clapper! "Nan Jue stared at Mofan.
Mofan was stunned for a moment. He was about to lower his head to look at the Little Loach Pendant on his neck, but when he saw Nan Jue's sharp gaze, he restrained himself.
