They took some turns and reached in front of relatively hidden grotto.
The disciple who was leading them bowed and went back.
Now the duo of father and daughter was left behind, Xing was standing with respect in front of an old man statue which was carved in a sitting position on the front of the rocky altar.
The statue must be made by some expert Craftsman who worked on each and every detail to show the veriety of his skills, like the moulding and shaping an original like shape of the face, moreover the white beard was looking extraordinary model with the peaceful expressions carved on the statue.
Before Henan could further examine the details about the statue, it opened it's bright eyes, Henan staggered one step back with the visible horror in her eyes, Xing hurriedly placed his hand on her head to coax her fear.
All those parts of this story where father is shown affectionate and the dialogue between father and daughter is truly nerve pulling for this author of yours because this author has only few vague memories of the affection of a father in the true sense in the real life...
The character of Xing is designed to bring the actual picture of affection from a father that a child dream to have.
I hope my learned readers can differentiate all the senses and directions of the story.
