Chapter 754: Punishment of the Ocean

——

The team left the dock and passed the security. They were basically safe after reaching Xixiong City. The police in Japan was not so free that they would check everyone’s identity. In other people’s eyes, they were just a group of young adults.

Hotels and inns were basically no-gos, needing some kind of identification. There was no illegal inn in this city that was located close to the sea.

Left with no choice, the abject geniuses could only find a temple on the waist of a mountain. The temple agreed to let them stay for the night after receiving a sizable donation from them.

The temple was called Yanming Temple, a typical Japanese temple. The symbolic stone frame was located at the foot of the hill, with stairs made of marble leading up to the temple. The temple was not particularly huge, and there were not many visitors around. Apart from a few monks, the illegal aliens were the only ones in the temple!

The temple had two stone-carved turtles at the front, their size similar to guardian lion statues. The others proceeded to take a rest on the comfortable beds, yet Mo Fan chose to sit on the back of a stone turtle. From there, he could see all of Xixiong City, the jagged shoreline, and the Pacific Ocean extending into the east. In simple words, it was a temple with a scenic view of the sea on the waist of a mountain!

In their country, temples usually had lots of visitors. The monks were usually well-fed as a result, yet somehow, this Yanming Temple was cold and cheerless. Weren’t urban residents more inclined to visit a quiet and secluded place like this? Or perhaps the monks had somehow ruined the reputation of the temple?

“You… what do you think you’re doing? Come down quick, you can’t sit on the Sacred Ghost, I’ve never seen such a disrespectful visitor!” a fairly good-looking monk came up and scolded Mo Fan.

The monk was speaking in Japanese, hence Mo Fan could not understand him. However, judging from his wild reaction and how he was waving his hands around, Mo Fan believed that he must be complimenting his exceedingly handsome appearance!

“Do you even talk?” The young monk was quite agitated. His tone was slightly furious.

Mo Fan finally understood what he was mad about. He quickly jumped down from the stone turtle and spoke in English, the international language, “Your temple doesn’t have many people, and I feel like the decorations are quite unique. The location is pretty nice too, facing the sea, a stable Wifi connection…”

“You’re not a local?” the young monk replied in English too. He was rather fluent, implying that he had achieved a good result in English when he was still a student, before he became a monk.

“I’m from China, I’m here to experience the Japanese culture,” Mo Fan replied without hesitation.

The monk was not the police. He would not care if Mo Fan was an illegal alien or a legal visitor.

“Are you sure you’re not here to disrespect our culture instead? You were sitting on the Sacred Turtle, it’s utterly disrespectful. You’ll receive the Punishment of the Ocean if you head out to the sea!” said the righteous monk.

Mo Fan squinted his eyes and glanced at the monk. The monk was around his age and fairly good-looking. His eyebrows were frowning sternly, yet he was clearly proud and arrogant.

“It’s just a statue for decoration purposes. You don’t have to be so serious. You haven’t answered my questions yet; why is the temple so deserted? I even heard some rumors from the people around here before we came here for the night,” said Mo Fan curiously.

“Humph, those idiots are just like you, they ignored our warnings and offended the Sacred Turtle with disrespectful words and acts. They don’t believe the Punishment of the Ocean, yet when something bad happened, they accused us of being responsible instead. They said that we’ve cursed us, and said that we’re a bunch of evil monks. How idiotic!” snorted the monk.
