Lin Yi couldn’t believe how lucky he was- a little later, and the doors would’ve shut him inside! Learning the first stage? He’d starve to death before anything else.
The first ray of sunlight shined onto the mountain, and the stone doors behind Lin Yi closed themselves without warning.
He walked back to try and get the doors open again, but to no avail.
The stone tablet spoke the truth. The only way to get past the doors was to wait for the full moon five years later.
Lin Yi was a little disappointed, but he did manage to get his hands on some special scroll. He’d figure the whole thing out after getting home.
“Yi, you okay?” A familiar voice sounded from behind him. Lin Yi turned and saw Old Lin, talking to him as if he didn’t try to murder him last night.
“Fuck! You damn old man, kicking me down a freaking mountain, were you trying to kill me?!” Lin Yi’s bones were still hurting from the fall.
