Walking on the wilderness trail, Lu Chuan saw fewer and fewer travelers around. Looking out into the distance, he spied an isolated structure amidst the overgrown grass.
"That must be the ruined temple Ming Zongyan talked about. Let's see if we can find that guy."
Jyang Ran squinted over and nodded slightly, "How about we dismount and walk over there, so as not to spook the quarry?"
After dismounting, Lu Chuan tied the horses to a withered branch in the bushes.
Then, the two started to head on foot toward the dilapidated temple.
The temple was small; upon entering the courtyard, Lu Chuan noticed a giant Furnace Cauldron filled with incense ash.
He scanned the surroundings, finding nothing but decay and no signs of life. The building in front of him was especially run-down, with broken tiles and crumbling earth walls.
As Lu Chuan walked into the temple, he saw a god statue and several small carvings beside it.
