The three illusions
These are the three illusions that you saw while going down the temple:
You see some lights forming at the middle almost blending with the rays of light that come down from the top. Some men dressed in monk clothes are smiling, scenes of people constructing large structures appear in front of your eyes but, after a few seconds, they slowly disappear.
A young couple is seen together hugging. A few seconds later the man stands up, gets an armor and a sword and slowly walks away while the woman looks at him worringly. After the first few steps the man drops the sword, starts limping and begins to wither until he is a walking skeleton at which point a huge bestial pawn appears and crushes his bones. Then the scene fades away.
Something huge engulfed in flames is surrounded by 6 small humanoids. After a few moments the humanoids slowly morph into glowing symbols (a camel, a stone, a whirlwhind, an eagle, a dragon and a fox) that begin to grow while whatever is engulfed begins to shrink. The flames become smaller and smaller. Finally a white snake with some feathers sprouting from his head appear and start to move around the 6 symbols while his body becomes longer and longer and entangles all of them without crushing them. Finally she eats what remains of whatever was in flames and the scene fades away.
