With someone pulling her along, the rest of the path was indeed much easier.
After about half an hour, they reached the summit.
At the temple entrance stood a large bell that looked quite old.
Daya went over and struck the bell, which let out a deep, muffled sound.
It echoed in their ears, a sound that brought a sense of ease.
Inside the temple, the scent of burning incense immediately filled the air. Although the temple was partially closed, there were still people inside burning incense and praying.
There were no monks or nuns as one might expect, just a few people who came in, offered some incense, and left.
Incense was being sold in the courtyard. Gu Kai Zhi bought some, came back to light it, and the two of them prayed.
In a corner of the courtyard was an old locust tree, adorned with many red ribbons.
"What are these for?"
Gu Kai Zhi looked up at them and said, "For blessings."
