Around Lu Village
Mother Statue Cave approach. Climb the mossy steps through the bamboo toward the wooden gate flanked by lanterns.

Lakeside Arch Bridge overlook. Follow the cliffside trail to the spreading tree and chain railing. Use the buildings across the ravine to orient yourself.

Three-Puppet Well. Find the white puppet beside the red cords and candles and listen before exploring the well area.

Covered Bridge. Follow the candles inside the covered bridge toward the red-lit shrine, checking the inner passage at the railing corner.

Bandit Passage. Check the blue flowers left of the red-lit doorway, beside the seated figure and white candles.

Terraces. At the end of the planks, look for the ladder on the left side of the scaffold against the rock wall.

Survivors’ Courtyard. Follow the outside wall to the seated figure in grey-purple clothes and speak with them.

Temple of Blue Fireflies. Check the glow beneath the roots beside the blue-lit rock wall before proceeding deeper.

Puppet Testing Ground. Climb the red-lit stairs beside the row of grates. Puppets hang from red cords on the nearby rock wall.

Lakeshore. The reed field at sunset is the arena. Orient by the leaning tree and distant roof and keep the fight in open ground.

Bandit Treasure Cellar. Follow the firelight to the barred wooden doorway and listen to the person behind it.

After the room with stacked books, follow the lamp on the stone wall and descend the wooden slope past the red post. Check the chest against the wall, then follow the candles to the second chest by the shrine.

Find the post wrapped in red cord and the chains by the rock wall. Pick up the Blackstone from the red-draped stand, then take the stone stairs into the timber hall.

From the Blackstone stand, take the stairs into the timber hall. Inspect the prisoner record on the round table with cups and a red candle before the shelves.

After the prisoner record, inspect the glow at the scroll shelves for the unfinished scripture. Then check the low desk before the painting and small altar for the arrest order.
