Chapter 60: One Year

Nestled at the base of Tianlong Mountain, a grand and awe-inspiring Buddhist temple stood like a gateway to the profound and mighty spiritual realm of the mountain. Its presence emitted an extraordinary spiritual aura, instilling tranquility in the hearts of all who visited and safeguarding them from the enigmatic perils of the mountain.

Within this temple, the expansive main hall appeared unpretentious at first glance, devoid of embellishments. Yet, it exuded an ancient ambiance, emanating from the towering stone pillars adorned with intricate carvings that supported the structure. Skillfully crafted yet slightly weathered statues of auspicious symbols and characters, along with the softly lit atmosphere, enhanced by the sunlight filtering through a narrow window on the ceiling and flickering candles atop weathered candle stands, gave off an air of mystery and sublimely.
