Beichuan Si focused his gaze, just wanting to take a closer look at the water maiden and the priests.
Unfortunately, the terrifying scene in the water appeared only for a moment before vanishing.
Beichuan Si descended the path, arriving directly in front of the shrine.
Within his line of sight was an indescribable, ancient shrine.
Ghastly red stone pillars and walls of vermilion and white now showed black streaks, as if scorched by fire, with some areas revealing faint cracks.
The wooden fence and projecting eaves extended a meter or two outwards.
Yet now, the supposedly empty shrine flickered with dim candlelight.
Beichuan Si didn't pay attention to this anomaly.
He looked up with narrowed eyes, scrutinizing the surroundings.
He didn't intend to enter the shrine for an exploration at the moment, but felt there was no harm in scouting the perimeter.
