The Lantern Mystery (Part 5)
Mei Ling returned to the temple and lit the black lantern again. This time, the shadows revealed a figure wearing a lion mask. The figure pointed to a hidden door beneath the altar. She pushed it open to find a tunnel lined with old Chinese talismans.
At the end of the tunnel, she saw the Jade Dragon on a pedestal. But as she stepped closer, the ground started to tremble.
