Mo Hua walked into the mural, into the mouth of the zombie, and into a secret passage.
The passage was narrow and dark but not long.
Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, after passing through the secret passage, the space before Mo Hua suddenly opened up.
What came into view was a massive altar.
The altar was exquisitely arranged, resplendent with gold and glittering with jewels.
The sandalwood was precious, the candle stands were of jade, the candles were gilded, and a giant incense burner engraved with gold beast patterns, with incense smoldering inside, wafting curls of smoke.
Above the altar were placed five-color spirit flowers, as offerings alongside pigs, sheep, and spirit beasts.
In front of the altar hung banners of golden yellow, with jiao dragon patterned lanterns suspended from them.
In the middle of the altar stood an enshrined sculpture.
It was covered with a yellow cloth, obscuring its appearance.
