Beauty and the Bodyguard

Finally, Lin Yi entered the stone gate and stepped into the main hall. Right in front of the main hall, there was a large stone tablet that caught Lin Yi's eyes. There were a few words written in seal script on it:

On a full moon night, the stone gate opens and only those who are destined can enter.

Remember to leave before dawn. Five years later, the stone gate will open again.

Lin Yi learned seal script from Old Man Lin when he was young, so he easily recognized the eight sentences written on the stone tablet.

After Lin Yi read these eight sentences, he began to ponder the meaning of these words.

It’s a full moon night. This is easy to understand. Isn’t today a full moon night?

And the stone door suddenly opened, it must be referring to this vermilion stone door! But what does it mean to be a destined person?

Could it be that he is the one who is destined to enter?

This made Lin Yi feel very strange and puzzled.

There doesn't seem to be anything special about you, right?

An orphan, he was adopted by Mr. Lin. At the age of eight, he didn't feel that he was any different from ordinary people?

At least compared to Old Man Lin, I have nothing better than Old Man Lin.

However, since I have come in, let’s just consider him the destined person!

And before dawn, it is easier to understand. It means before the sun comes out and the sky breaks. Remember to leave. Does it mean that you must leave before dawn?

Well, that’s what it means literally.

But what does it mean that the stone gate will be reopened five years later?

Could it be that what he said was that if he did not leave before dawn, the stone gate would automatically close, and the next time it would open again would be five years later?

Lin Yi couldn't help but shuddered when he thought of this. Fortunately, he could read seal script. Otherwise, he would have been stupid and stayed here all night. When the cave door was closed, wouldn't he be doomed?

Not to mention five years, even five days without food or water is enough, right?

Now that we know that there are rules in this cave, there should be no problem for Lin Yi to come out before dawn!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt relieved a little.

At this time, Lin Yicai took a closer look at the situation inside the hall. It turned out that the four walls of the hall were inlaid with luminous pearls, so the inside was as bright as day.

Anyone with a little knowledge of goods can tell that each of the luminous pearls inlaid on the four walls is priceless. If one were to be auctioned in the market outside, it would also be priceless.

However, Lin Yi grew up in the mountains and was not very interested in these gold and silver jewelry. Although he thought they were strange and beautiful, he didn't think they would fetch a big price after being taken out.

The key question is, who will he sell to in this mountain?

The richest person is Widow Wang from the village head. Her family runs a snack bar and a small shop, and she can have more than 1,000 yuan left over a year!

But no matter how rich you are, who would use the money to buy these impractical things?

In Lin Yi's opinion, if you have money, you might as well buy two big pieces of fat meat to eat. It tastes so good. This night pearl is of no use and cannot be eaten.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not focus too much on the luxurious decoration of the main hall, but went around to explore the main hall.

Judging from the fantasy novels I usually read, if a person enters some cave or valley inexplicably, he will get some adventures, such as getting a secret book of unparalleled martial arts!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt excited. If he found a secret book of unparalleled martial arts, he would not have to be squeezed by the old man!

After he has mastered it, the old man will not dare to hit himself!

The main hall is large, but very empty. Apart from the splendid decorations on all sides, there are two buildings in the center of the main hall.

One of them was the stone tablet that Lin Yi saw at first sight after coming in. But behind the stone tablet, there was a high platform!

The high platform is very similar to the ancient sacrificial altar, and it also seems to be a place where important things are placed in a sect.

In short, it seems that it is very old, at least in modern times there will be no similar buildings.

Lin Yi didn't think much, and ran up to the high platform in three or two steps. At the top of the high platform, he saw an antique small wooden box.

Lin Yi suddenly felt excited. Could this be some kind of scripture storage box?

Lin Yi carefully picked up the box. After taking the box, he immediately jumped off the high platform and hid his figure.

Because Lin Yi heard that such ancient buildings often have hidden mechanisms, and if he tampered with other people's treasures, he would be screwed if any of the mechanisms were opened.

However, Lin Yi waited for a long time, but nothing special happened, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry to open the box. After all, the stone door of the cave would be closed before dawn, and the box could be opened again after returning home.

Now, Lin Yi decided to use the little time he had to explore the cave again.

After walking around the high platform, Lin Yi was surprised to find that behind the high platform, there was actually a stone gate, and next to the stone gate, there was a small stone tablet!

There are also eight sentences written in seal script on the stone tablet, each sentence has four characters, just like the stone tablet I saw when I entered the door before!

Lin Yi was surprised and quickly read it carefully:

Five years later, when the magical power is first achieved, you can enter by hitting the door with your palm.

If it doesn't work as expected and the magical power has not been achieved, wait another five years and come and test it.

After reading these eight sentences, Lin Yi was immediately confused!

What does "five years later, the magical power will be completed" mean?

Could it be that there are really any martial arts secrets in the box in my hand?

After you have mastered it, you can hit the door with your hand and the door will open?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi pushed the door casually, but unfortunately the stone door did not move at all.

In this way, the following four sentences are easier to understand, "If it doesn't work as expected, the magical skill has not been achieved, wait another five years and come to test it." What it means is that if you fail to push the door open, you have not practiced the skill well enough. , need to wait another five years, when the stone gate is opened again, and then come in for testing.

Looking at the unopenable stone door in front of him, Lin Yi suddenly felt itchy.

It stands to reason that there is a magic secret book in this first hall, and there must be something more precious hidden in the hall behind the stone gate!

But Lin Yi also understood that it was impossible to open the second door with his current ability!

At best, he was just a destined person. It was a coincidence that he could open the first stone door and enter this hall.

In this case, Lin Yi stopped forcing anything and walked out of the cave door holding the box he had obtained from the high platform.

At this time, the sky is no longer so dark, and the east has become slightly pale, which is a sign before the sun comes out and dawns...
