I began to grow conscious and nervous, fear crippled my mind and I couldn't breath during that time. Lee rode the horse as if he was a mad man, we jumped up and down as the horse tried to keep up.
Then I heard "There they are... shoot! Shoot!" and series of arrows were thrown to us, I hang on to Lee so tight that I felt his lungs would shrink upon my grasp.
"We can't lead them to the temple, hang on Mingzhu. I am taking the other way" Lee told me and instead of keeping it straight, he turned west and kept on going.
The men kept following us behind, but they stopped shooting since they couldn't see us anymore. The pathway West wasn't as visible as the one on the North - which led to the temple. This path had a lot of huge trees shoved into one another with just small openings for a horse to pass, we reached the opening and passed through.
