"So, you elieve there could be a connection between these two incidents? IF so, then we should probably make haste to get to the temple."
"Well, then you better go now. Please tell us if you find something, ok?" says the village elder, before his younger counterpart can say anithing himself.
A few minutes later you are on your way again. Kairan leads you first along a small dirt path through the rice fields surrounding the village, heading east towards the coast. After about an hour, as you reach the top of a small hill covered with low bushes and high blades of grass, the path turns north, winding through small valleys and stretches of sand with the rolling waves of the Sea of Dragons close by. A steady blowing westwind fills the air with the smells of salt and sea, tugging a bit on your clothing when you are exposed to it. After another hour you reach the mouth of a small river that joins the sea here, surrounded by a little swamp.
"We're almost there,"your guide says, and leaves the path, following the river upstream. Soon, it heads into a small steep valley cut between two hills, and after you have followed its winding path for some time, the valley broadens and rises to a small, almost circular wooded area, where the river emerges from a lake. The lake itself, covered in part by water lilys and surrounded by stands of bamboo on three sides, is fed by a rushing waterfall on its northeastern side. There, close to the waterfall and almost hidden by a large stand of bamboo, you can see the temple building, half merged into the cliffside of the waterfall, its red laquered beams and tiles partly covered with moss.
