The plaza was at least thirty zhang across. As far as the eye could see, it was paved entirely with ghastly white bones.
Those bones had been fitted together with exquisite care, forming strange patterns across the plaza floor.
Seen from the sky, the patterns seemed to form an exquisite black flower, at once eerie and mysterious.
