Beichuan Si took Nishijou Kurenai, who was perched on his shoulder, down.
Ignoring her flailing legs, Beichuan Si turned around and pulled open his backpack, from which he took out a key.
It was the key given to him by Magong Dongzi.
Beichuan Si pinched the lock, noting the key's similarity in size to the keyhole, and inserted the key into it.
With a click, the lock with the white chrysanthemum pattern opened in response.
Beichuan Si put the key away, his thoughts tumbling in his head.
Even such a key was entrusted to Magong Dongzi, he conjectured that her status within the Magong Main Family must also be quite high.
However—
Among the coffins...
He had no idea what kind of secrets were hidden inside.
Beichuan Si muttered to himself in a low voice and pushed open the iron gate just enough to pass through, stepping inside.
The space mentioned by Magong Yongshi was actually more akin to a Shrine in Japan.
A path made of bluestone bricks led straight to the shrine's steps.
