## Halls of Illusion

An illusory world, protected by the Folding Screen Monkeys to hide the Divine Child of Rejuvenation.

There are four notable locations in the area:

* Abyss Hall: *"Below is an abyss. The bottom cannot be seen. Above is darkness. Nothing can be seen."*
* Deafening Bell: *"This bell is deafening. Ringing it recklessly will also make your ears ring."*
* Light Hall: *"A bare flame in the wind. When it goes out, the place becomes dark as night."*
* Roaring Hall: *"The noise of the Roaring Waterfall is deafening. Surely no one can hear anything else in here."*

## Trivia

* Senpou Temple is referred to as 「八葉寺」 (Hachiyouji Temple) in cut dialogue, which is a real world temple located in Fukushima, Japan while Mount Kongo「金剛山」, where Senpou Temple is located in-game is a real world location in Osaka, Japan.
	+ While the two locations both seem to be inspired by real world locations, the temple and the mountain are located over 700km away from each other.
