Chapter 74 Zhao Manyan Gets an Opportunity
When Bai Feng carried the tipsy Jiang Shaoxu back to the temple, he saw Zhao Manyan lying on the ground, pale as if he was seriously injured and dying.
Nan Rongni used the healing system to treat Zhao Manyan from time to time, while everyone around him was talking anxiously.
“You’re finally back. Something happened to Zhao Manyan. After we woke up, we planned to invite everyone out for dinner, but Zhao Manyan wouldn’t wake up. When we came in, we saw Zhao Manyan in this state!” Nan Jue said anxiously.
"Oh? It seems like his soul has been taken away by something." Bai Feng pondered for a moment and spoke hesitantly.
"Did you encounter anything strange today?" Bai Feng turned around and asked everyone.
After hearing Bai Feng's question, everyone shook their heads. When it was Mo Fan's turn, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Well, I just wanted to go to the temple and met a pretty lady in a kimono. The lady asked me my name, so I told her Lao Zhao's name."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Mo Fan in silence. Mo Fan felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had betrayed his good brother.
“It looks like there’s something wrong with this temple. Let’s all go and find out what’s wrong.” Bai Feng looked at Zhao Manyan’s pale face and gradually cooling body, and spoke to the group.
Then he patted Jiang Shaoxu's buttocks, and Bai Feng suddenly felt a murderous gaze. Bai Feng turned his head and saw the murderous look of his brother-in-law Ai Jiangtu.
Bai Feng coughed twice in embarrassment, then randomly found a direction and walked away. He could still feel that gaze even from a distance away.
"Hehe~ What's wrong? Are you scared?" Jiang Shaoxu laughed, held Bai Feng's face with both hands and kissed him.
"You're kidding! I'd be scared!" Bai Feng immediately retorted and slapped Jiang Shaoxu hard on the butt.
"Hmm~" Jiang Shaoxu cried out softly and quickly covered her back with her hands.
On the other side, Nan Jue, Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan came to a dilapidated little house in the back mountain. There was a table in the middle of the house, and on the table was a wooden fish. The wooden fish looked very old, and there were some strange patterns carved on it.
When Mo Fan saw the wooden fish, he reached out to take it, but as soon as he got close to it, golden lightning was released from the wooden fish, which directly struck Mo Fan's hand.
"Hiss! What the hell is this!" Mo Fan cursed in frustration after being electrocuted.
“This is a restriction!” Nan Jue was quite interested in these things and observed them from a distance.
“This is a soul-level magic tool, but I don’t know what its function is. But there seems to be a small world inside. Some soul-level magic tools will give birth to tool spirits over time. Of course, this is not a small world that can carry people. If there is a spiritual mage, he should be able to send a person’s consciousness into it. Zhao Manyan might have been seduced away by the tool spirit of this magic tool.” Nan Jue, Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu explained slowly.
"So what should we do now?" Mo Fan asked without thinking.
Nan Jue looked at Mo Fan as if he were a fool, and then said to Ai Jiangtu, “Call Jiang Shaoxu. She has a psychic system. Ask her to come over and send your consciousness in to see what it is.”
"This is not safe. After all, we are only going in with our consciousness." Mo Fan said hesitantly.
"Then Zhao Manyan can only wait for death." "Okay, okay."
After receiving the call, Jiang Shaoxu asked Bai Feng to carry him towards the back mountain. The road was desolate, overgrown with weeds, and there were insects running around from time to time.
When Bai Feng and Jiang Shaoxu arrived at the dilapidated house, they saw Nan Jue observing the wooden fish, while Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu were waiting for them.
"What happened?" Bai Feng asked.
“You’re here. Jiang Shaoxu, use your telepathy to send their consciousnesses into this magic tool. There should be clues about Zhao Manyan in it.” Nan Jue stood up and spoke after seeing Jiang Shaoxu.
"Is there any danger here?" Jiang Shaoxu asked hesitantly.
After Nan Jue explained the situation of the wooden fish to Jiang Shaoxu, Jiang Shaoxu was still a little reluctant, but he still agreed. He didn't want anything to happen to his new boyfriend, so it was normal for him to hesitate.
After Jiang Shaoxu sent the consciousness of the three people into the magic tool, the bodies of the three people were about to fall to the ground. Jiang Shaoxu hurriedly hugged Bai Feng's body in his arms.
And now the consciousness of the three people has entered a place that is both unreal and somewhat real.
“Is this the small world where magic tools were born?” Mo Fan muttered as he looked around.
The world born in this small world is the temple where everyone rests, and at this moment a little monk walked past the three of them. The three of them looked at each other and followed the little monk.
The little monk acted as if he didn't see the three people. Everyone saw the little monk grow up slowly. Then, when he was going down the mountain one time, he met a little girl from a village at the foot of the mountain. After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other and slowly fell in love with each other.
One day, the abbot of the temple heard some gossip that a monk in the temple had found a woman. He became furious and called all the monks to the hall.
There was indeed a monk who often went down the mountain to visit the brothel. However, in order to avoid suspicion on himself, he made a story that one time when he was going down the mountain, he caught the monk with a woman at the foot of the mountain.
When the little girl found out about this, she jumped off the cliff to prove her innocence. When the little monk found out about this, he also committed suicide in the temple. The other monks must have known that they had wronged the little monk, but for the sake of the temple's incense, the abbot suppressed the matter.
The three of them seemed to be watching a story, and this story kept repeating itself in this world.
The three of them started discussing in the small world. Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu thought that the demon that took Zhao Manyan's soul away was the little girl.
But Bai Feng did say that the evil spirit was this monk. Then Bai Feng said to the two of them, "First, the little girl did not die in the temple. She died on a cliff a few kilometers away. She should not have been possessed by this wooden fish at such a long distance. Secondly, this monk was wrongly accused and died, or he committed suicide for love after his beloved died. The resentment and unwillingness in his heart may turn this monk into an evil spirit, so the evil spirit is most likely this monk."
The two were stunned when they heard it, then after thinking for a while, they nodded and agreed that it made sense.
