Pan Yong walked out of the decrepit and queer gate of the Lower Courtyard, holding the slip Qin Old Head gave him.
The slip had Qin Old Head's signature, stamped with the seal of the Lower Courtyard, and indicated his departure date.
He told Qin Old Head that he would leave the mountain early tomorrow, which is the nineteenth of May.
Pan Yong folded the slip well, placed it in the inner pocket of his coat, stood on the platform of the Lower Courtyard, glanced at the sky over the distant dense forest, and quickly headed to the edge of the cliff.
Pan Yong walked along the cliff wall to a certain iron chain, slid down the cableway, and arrived at the mountain top where the Medicine Pavilion was located.
Pan Yong showed the Sect Cloud Scroll at the gate of the Medicine Pavilion.
The gatekeeper was a thin, dark middle-aged man. He opened the Sect Cloud Scroll, looked at the portrait inside, glanced at Pan Yong, and handed the Sect Cloud Scroll back to him without saying a word.
