Chapter 345: Chapter 347: Stone Fairy and Ghost

...

As they stepped into the old woods, a winding path appeared ahead, marked by the traces of people having passed through.

Zhu Minglang and Pan Shiming followed the path, only to discover a small temple nestled within the forest, built from local gray-and-white stones and coated with light red paint on the outside.

The temple was not large, with no steps leading up to it. One could walk straight in along the path and see many paper banners and wooden figures inside, as well as several cleanly butchered, simply cooked chickens and ducks placed in the center of large platters.

It was a local deity's small temple offering worship to an unknown immortal god, as not even a single statue was seen.

No sooner had the two stepped into the temple than the candles inside flared wildly, as if the temple were alive, sensing the intrusion of outsiders; it was like pairs of candlelit eyes suddenly widened, filled with deep hostility.
