[QUOTE="Ariakor, post: 2276810, member: 8473"] Then you all set out towards the village. Due to the ox-carts relatively low speed, crossing the miles will take its time. Your party first follows the imperial road further south, but leaves it after about a mile or so along a crude trail made by carts and men over the course of generations, here and there lined with cherry-trees and some small groves of bamboo. The trail itself is still a bit wet and muddy where it is not already covered by grass, but aside from animal tracks there is not much to be seen in the mud. As the sun climbs higher into the sky, the terrain around the trail changes and the open plains make way for slow-rising hills which, according to your companions, cover most of the coastal areas. At a place where the trail crosses a small stream on an old stone bridge, Hao Kairan halts his cart and points to another trail, branching from this one close to the water and following its course into a cut between the hills. [COLOR=Blue]"This trail leads to the village of Yutian and its nearby shrine.
