Episode 17 8
Two hundred and thirty-one students signed in the Imperial Examination this year. 9
Among them, three quit. 10
The actual number of test takers is two hundred and twenty-eight. 11
All young Shifu-hands on Qingyun Standings. 12
What a national event! 13
All heroes and talents get together here, 14
In our Zhou Empire. 15
Your majesty is benevolent and wise. 16
So talents from all quarters come here. 17
Congrats, your majesty. 18
You've been worn out. 19
Invigilation awaits tomorrow. 20
Have an early rest. 21
Yes. 22
Lady Mo 23
Have you arranged it well? 24
Everything is well-arranged according to your commands. 25
But... 26
But what? 27
I'm afraid if her majesty will be upset 28
since we make it so hard for Guojiao Academy. 29
Don't be. 30
Guojiao Academy is just a chess piece of her majesty. 31
Now that it's a chess piece, 32
It can be sacrificed. 33
Besides, it's not some important chess piece, 34
Just a pawn to be took advantage of. 35
Let the pawn break through into enemy ranks. 36
Without other people's help, 37
He cannot escape death. 38
Your holiness 39
How is it going with the Imperial Examination? 40
Everything is ready. 41
But I've found 42
that someone seems to target at Changsheng and Guojiao Academy. 43
Do I need to stop that? 44
Everything is meant to be. 45
Everything is destined. 46
No one can take away 47
Whatever belongs to Changsheng. 48
I got it. 49
Yourong 50
Are you concerned about Chen Changsheng? 51
We've searched for such a long time. 52
But failed to find any lead to Zhou Garden's key. 53
Is it because we're on the wrong track? 54
Let's wait for a while, 55
See if there is any turnaround. 56
Lately, someone told me, 57
Except his dead brother Zhou Yuren, 58
Zhou Dufu had a beloved girl. 59
But she's so mysterious that no one knows her. 60
If that girl is still alive, 61
Perhaps she knows whereabouts of the key to Zhou Garden. 62
But, Yourong, 63
We don't even know her name. 64
8 How could we find her? 65
We may go back to Sacred Capital first 66
To make inquiries about that girl's whereabouts. 67
Back to Sacred Capital? 68
Are you going to meet Chen Changsheng? 69
What's he has to do with this? 70
Yourong... 71
Yourong 72
There's a thunderstorm ahead. 73
How about we leaving after it stops? 74
The Imperial Examination is about to begin. 75
We don't have time waiting. 76
No, Yourong, 77
It's too dangerous! 78 0
Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen 79
Eighteen, nineteen, 80
Where is he? 81
Didn't see him. 82
Where has he gone? 83
Haven't seen him. 84
Have you seen him? 85
I don't know, either. 86
Coming! 87
Over there. He's coming. 88
Hurry up! Hurry up! 89
Hurry! 90
Hurry. Hurry. 91
Coming. Coming. 92
Okay. Everybody is here. 93
Let's go. 94
Let's go. 95
[Guojiao Academy] 96
[Qingyao Academy] 97
[Lishan Academy] [Zhaixing Academy] 98
[Tiandao Academy] 99
[Guojiao Academy] 100
The Imperial Examination begins now. 101
Let me read out the rules. 102
Your holiness, which one 103
Do you think will be the champion? 104
If no accidents, 105
The champion 106
will be either Gou Hanshi or Chen Changsheng. 107
I'm pretty bullish about Gou Hanshi. 108
Why? 109
It looks gloomy between Chen Changsheng's eyebrows. 110
Seems that he doesn't have good luck. 111
Destiny is insubstantial by its nature. 112
No one knows for sure what will happen the next minute. 113
I think highly of Changsheng. 114
Because he's the one who can take Fate by the throat. 115
Hope so. 116
The first round is about spiritual sense. 117
The eighteen books are secret collections of Zhou Royal Family, 118
Never opened up to the outside world, 119
Let alone been read. 120
You gotta use your spiritual sense to memorize their content as possible as you can, 121
Before sand in the hourglass runs out. 122
Start now! 123
How could we memorize so much? 124
You know what to do next? 125
Yes. 126
Senior! 127
Stay out of other people's business. 128
[Lishan Academy] 129
In Guojiao Acedemy, only Chen Changsheng is left to memorize the books. 130
It seems 131
that he doesn't take the Fate by the throat, 132
But being taken by the throat. 133
Maybe not. 134
We gotta know, 135
Someone was born to pit one against ten. 136
Stop! 137
Now, 138
Every one of you will get a jade slip. 139
Questions will emerge on the slip. 140
You just need to put your hand on it, 141
Then read your answers silently. 142
If your answer is right, 143
A chess piece will be lightened up randomly. 144
With two adjacent chess pieces lightened up, 145
A chess line will be formed. 146
Then the line will come into an enclosed pattern. 147
The pattern can be everything. 148
But the bigger it is, the better. 149
Every examinee gotta give thirty right answers at least. 150
Otherwise he'll be knocked out. 151
In the end, all patterns added together, 152
The academy with the biggest pattern will prevail. 153
Then it may enter into the second round one hour in advance. 154
While the academy with the smallest pattern 155
will be knocked out directly. 156
That's our rules. 157
Any questions? 158
Senior, 159
Now that chess pieces can form patterns, 160
They can also destroy any other academy's pattern. 161
We gotta look out for Tianhai Ya'er. 162
Don't worry. 163
Speaking of group fights, 164
We Lishan Academy won't be afraid of anyone else. 165
Shifu,
I didn't memorize well. 167
Don't worry, I got an idea. 168
Changsheng, 169
We're counting on you. 170
Start now! 171
Thank you, Shifu! 172
How dare they! 173
Now Gou Hanshi is in the lead. 174
He makes Lishan Academy well organized. 175
The champion is probably theirs now. 176
The next is Tianhai Ya'er. 177
As for Chen Changsheng... 178
He's busy helping other people in Guojiao Academy. 179
Hasn't answered his own questions. 180
You're right, your holiness. 181
Someone can pit one against ten. 182
Although he can resist for a while, 183
Still, ten is ten, 184
One will always be one. 185
Why do you only see one? 186
But I've seen one hundred? 187
Look at Guojiao Academy, 188
Seriously? 189
Not a single completed pattern! 190
You'll lose in this way. 191
You forgot two things. 192
Firstly, 193
We're not competing for the number of patterns, 194
But the biggest area of patterns in total. 195
Secondly, 196
I haven't answered questions yet. 197
Come on, Shifu! 198
Senior, 199
What's that? 200
At this speed. That only can be him. 201
This... 202
According to Three Thousand Taoist Scriptures, 203
When perimeters are the same, the circular one is the biggest. 204
You have many patterns. 205
But your areas added is smaller than mine. 206
I see. 207
At the very beginning, 208
Changsheng made patterns at corner deliberately 209
for the last resort. 210
He also made them look patchy. 211
So no one would notice that. 212
Just because of such unimpressive ones, 213
One hundred came out in the end. 214
Game over. 215
The last place, 216
Qingyao Academy. 217
Knocked out! 218
The one who can enter into the next round in advance, 219
Also the first place, is, 220
Lishan Academy! 221
The second place, 222
Guojiao Academy! 223
Yeah! 224
That's impossible! 225
Why should they be ranked second? 226
Great! 227
Shifu, we passed the test! 228
Easy. 229
It's just the first round. 230
We're just the second place. 231
We'll get the first place! 232
I'm also confident! 233
Shifu, Yuren, 234
Have you seen this? 235
I'm already in the Imperial Examination. 236
Don't worry. 237
I'll try my best to be the champion and change my destiny. 238
Then, 239
I'll go back to see you two.. 240
Shifu, 241
Where are we going? 242
Moving away. 243
Moving away. 244
The further, the better. 245
Why do we have to move away? 246
The Imperial Examination begins today. 247
We should go help Changsheng! 248
Don't worry. 249
Changsheng will be okay. 250
Just an Imperial Examination. 251
W on't be a problem for him. 252
Why can't we go to Sacred Capital? 253
Don't you forget Changsheng is sitting the exam there? 254
That Imperial Examination, 255
Once he becomes the champion, 256
People will come to our Xining Town to investigate his background. 257
If we stay here, 258
We'll become a problem for him, right? 259
I didn't get it. 260
Why do they have to invastigate Changsheng's background? 261
Changsheng is clean. 262
Why should we run away? 263
Of course you can't figure it out. 264
I'll let you know later. 265
Move, now! 266
I won't. 267
Stand up! 268
You were sitting on my clothes. 269
I promised Changsheng, 270
I will wait at the crossroad for him. 271
What if he can't find me after he comes back?! 272
Well, 273
Trust me, once. 274
I promise you, 275
As long as Changsheng comes back, 276
He'll find you! 277
Okay? 278
Fine. Never mind. 279
You stay. I'll leave alone. 280
Shifu! 281
Shifu, you're really leaving? 282
Help me take the drugs! 283
Shifu, wait. 284
The second round of the Imperial Examination, 285
Every six examinees form as a group. 286
According to the result of the first round, 287
You'll enter the Time Forest Maze in sequence. 288
And you gotta walk out of the maze within four hours. 289
There are two flags at the exit of the maze. 290
The first two pluck out the flags will enter the final directly. 291
If you can't walk out of the maze within the stipulated time, 292
You'll be knocked out. 293
Why a maze? 294
Winding and meandering, feels so dizzy! 295
I hate it the most! 296
Relax, 297
I'm good at that. 298
You guys just need to follow me. 299
But I'm afraid of dogs. 300
After we get into the maze, 301
If any one of Guojiao Academy is left alone, 302
Just... 303
The Time Forest Maze is notoriously dangerous. 304
Don't get separated when you're in the maze. 305
Yes, senior. 306
Listen, 307
When we're in the maze, 308
Don't clash with any other academies. 309
Seize the time, 310
Pass through it quickly! 311
What if someone attacks us sneakily? 312
If he dares to do that, 313
We gotta fight back! 314
The second round, start now!
Lishan Academy, please. 316
Other examinees should enter the formation after this incense runs out. 317
Your majesty, 318
It's very bustling in the Imperial Examination. 319
Doesn't it look the same every year? 320
Maybe there is some surprise this year. 321
Surprise? 322
Maybe. 323
That's odd. 324
It seems that the forest is swaying. 325
Shifu, look 326
It's Visional Mirroring. 327
Geo-magnet is very chaotic here. 328
Yi and Yang reversed. 329
Can't tell directions. 330
From now on, 331
Don't believe our eyes so quickyly. 332
Let's go, Shifu. 333
Look, what's that? 334
Stop! 335
Let's go! 336
Stay still. 337
What the hell are they? 338
My father told me, 339
They seem to be guards subdued by Emperor Taizong from another clan. 340
Look so ugly that they can't be valets. 341
So they're ordered to guard the Time Forest. 342
Shifu, look! 343
Why do they keep such a stuff? 344
I got it. 345
We must calculate orientation of the sun 346
and the time when they walk away. 347
So we can avoid those guards, 348
Find out the rule, 349
Find out a way out. 350
Counting rods is a tool of deduction. 351
What are we waiting for? 352
For they to show up. 353
Only one of the three light gates is the way out. 354
The other two are traps. 355
Later, let's run into the left light gate when I say run. 356
Five, 357
Four, 358
Three, 359
Two, 360
One, 361
Run! 362
Finally, we escaped. 363
Five Elements Guards are so amazing! 364
So lucky that we escaped. 365
Right, senior Li? 366
No. 367
What? 368
I mean, 369
You're not lucky 370
at all! 371
Lady Mo 372
How does it go? 373
Although I mobilized the guards, 374
Chen Changsheng avoided them. 375
They seem to have found the rule of guards' presence. 376
Shall I mobilize some more powerful mechanism? 377
No. 378
Princess Luoluo is still with Chen Changsheng. 379
We gotta find some way to separate them. 380
I got it. 381
Shifu! 382
Look, I've found them. 383
So fast! 384
Made of jade, 385
But not those good ones. 386
Done. Let's go. 387
Where are Changsheng and Luoluo? 388
Right. 389
We were all together. 390
Why did they disappear suddenly? 391
Why didn't Thirty-sixth follow us? 392
Will they be in danger? 393
Shifu... 394
Aren't they from Tiandao Academy? 395
This... Who killed them? 396
Could it be the guards? 397
Guards won't kill without permission. 398
This killing way looks so familiar. 399
I remembered it. 400
This is the same as the way Huo Guang was killed. 401
You mean, 402
Demons have sneaked into the Imperial Examination? 403
Well, will it be dangerous for Thirty-sixth and Xuanyuan ? 404
Relax, Thirty-sixth is good. 405
They won't be in danger. 406
Chen Changsheng, 407
How dare you kill students of our Tiandao Academy?! 408
It has nothing to do with us. 409
They died before we came here! 410
He's your love. 411
Of course you'll speak for him! 412
Luoluo 413
Let's go. 414
Chase! 415
Still hurts? 416
As long as you're here, 417
It doesn't hurt at all. 418
It's all my faults. 419
If... 420
I took good care of you, 421
You wouldn't be hurt so much. 422
It's not your fault. 423
It's all because of Zhuang Huanyu kept pestering us! 424
I will kick his ass when I see him next time! 425
Done. 426
Come, 427
Be careful. 428
Shifu, I'm badly injured. 429
I'll drag you down. 430
How about you leaving first? 431
Perhaps we've already lagged behind. 432
Anyway, people will come to save me! 433
No. 434
As your Shifu 435
How could I run away leaving my disciple behind? 436
Besides, 437
We're not necessarily lagging behind. 438
What are you watching, Shifu? 439
The sun. 440
I thought those light gates led to the exit. 441
But in fact they're distractions. 442
The problem lies in this space. 443
Look, 444
If we're in a real space, 445
How could we have four suns at the same time? 446
What you said really makes sense! 447
If I'm not mistaken, 448
The space which we're in now 449
is a little world. 450
Now I can say, 451
Those light gates are used to confuse us. 452
How could we get out, then? 453
Close your eyes, everyone. 454
Sense which direction the sword points to. 455
Follow the sword. 456
Our Lishan's sword spirit will lead us to find out 457
what's true in this space. 458
Yes. 459
Stars sink, moon falls, sword spirit clears mind! 460
Motion and standstill fit each other; Hardness and softness push one another. 461
I got it! 462
Come with me. 463
Let's go. 464
Your majesty, 465
The sun is extremely powerful today. 466
Seems that it's gonna melt someone. 467
The maze and guards in the Time Forest 468
will cost these kids some time. 469
Your majesty, back to the resting palace? 470
Let's go. 471
Shifu, 472
I still can't figure out anything. 473
The suns are also misleading. 474
We can't be disturbed by the enviornment. 475
If only black dragon is here! 476
She'll take us out of here! 477
The dragon-soul jade pendant is a magical item. 478
Can't take it here. 479
What should we do, then? 480
I started to think just now. 481
Since this is a puzzle, 482
There'll be leads to the answer. 483
The beginning? 484
At the very beginning, 485
We got into the maze, 486
Found four suns. 487
Then we ran into the light gate, 488
Arrived in the stone maze, 489
Found the counting rods. 490
You figured out which light gate is safe. 491
Then we walked through the light gate, 492
Arrived in the grass maze. 493
Then we found another counting rods. 494
-Again, you started to calculate... -Wait a minute! 495
We walked through the stone maze and the grass maze repeatedly, didn't we? 496
Out of the stone maze, there is the grass maze. 497
Out of the grass maze, there is the stone maze. 498
But counting rods in the stone maze are made of bamboo. 499
While rods in the grass maze are made of jades. 500
Why are they made of different materials? 501
Either in shortage of jades or bamboos? 502
No. 503
Two kinds of rods are the crux of the matter. 504
They're not used to calculate. 505
They should be leads to unlock rules of this time-space. 506
Rods are leads? 507
The rods represent intertexture of Yin and Yang. 508
Yin and Yang interlace, so everything grows, 509
Without stopping. 510
The stone maze represents Yang. 511
So the grass maze represents Yin. 512
Bamboo is a plant. 513
So bamboo rods represents Yin. 514
Jade is a stone. 515
Jade rods represent Yang. 516
The mazes are 517
one divided into two, also two combined into one. 518
Shifu, 519
Although we've known so much, 520
We can't get out. 521
We've found the truth. 522
Of course we can find a way out. 523
We're in the grass maze. It's Yin. 524
Yin spills, then Yang comes out. 525
If we want to get out of here, 526
We should use the jade rods which represents Yang, 527
To make an exit. 528
Shifu, you're so awesome! 529
Let's go. 530
Come. 531
Let me carry you on my back. 532
No. 533
Hurry. 534
We'll lag behind if we don't leave now. 535
Well, if you get hurt in the future, 536
I'll carry you on my back. 537
Pah... 538
That's nonsense. 539
Well, 540
You gotta be healthy, Shifu. 541
You won't get hurt. 542
Come, I got this sword. 543
Senior, 544
We arrive at the terminal. 545
Shifu, we're at the terminal! 546
Hanshi and the others also arrived. 547
Not bad. 548
You've also found this place, Changsheng. 549
-Senior, -They're also here. 550
Go take that flag. 551
We'll stay here guard for you. 552
Hurry... 553
Hurry, the flag is over there! 554
Why are they still together? 555
I'll find some way right now! 556
They're almost reaching it! 557
Shifu, put me down! 558
I can't drag you down! 559
No. 560
Senior, 561
Why they all come at Chen Changsheng? 562
Can't help them now. 563
Let's get the flag first! 564
I get it! 565
Well-done! 566
Great! Well-done! 567
Why all the guards are getting together towards Changsheng? 568
Go check it out. 569
Yes, I'm on it. 570
Great! 571
Let me go! Let me go! 572
Qijian! 573
Shifu 574
I owe you this time. 575
Shifu, 576
They accepted our help this time. 577
Let's go grab the flag. 578
Hurry, help me! 579
Shifu, look! 580
Put me down, please. 581
I don't wanna slow you down in flag-grabbing! 582
You're my disciple. 583
How could I possibly put you down? 584
Shifu! 585
Over these years, 586
I've been studying on how to control 587
the force of stars in your blood. 588
Look, 589
This silver line represents that your heart is attacked by the force of stars. 590
At this speed, 591
I'm afraid that one year later, you'll...
Here is the question, 593
Why did you come for the exam before any cultivation? 594
I must sit the Imperial Examination this year. 595
And I must take the champion. 596
That's to say, 597
Only you take the champion in the Imperial Examination, 598
Can you have a slim chance of survival. 599
I don't know 600
whether I will succeed. 601
Heaven helps those who help themselves. 602
You will succeed. 603
It hurts... 604
Xu Yourong! 605
You destroyed my flag! 606
-Shifu -Sorry. 607
I didn't notice that. 608
I win! I'll enter the terminal! 609
How could you enter the terminal with that crap stick? 610
I have a whole flag here! 611
You're back. 612
I'm back. 613
Look throughly into the Time Forest. 614
Find out demon assassins! 615
Yes. 616
So, 617
Saintess destroyed the flag unwittingly. 618
Now it's not sure 619
which one of you will enter the terminal. 620
Unwittingly? 621
What's called unwittingly?! 622
She... 623
She did that on purpose! 624
In this case, 625
You two might as well have another competition 626
to decide which one goes to the terminal. 627
How do you think of it, your highness? 628
Fine! 629
But I shall decide compete on what! 630
Why should you? 631
Why should you decide? 632
Yes! 633
It's not a place you can talk! 634
Anything is good with me. 635
Your highness, 636
What are you going to compete? 637
During the fight, 638
Neither side shall remove your blinder. 639
If either side gives up or walks out of the circle, 640
H e will be considered as defeated by the other side. 641
Now,
Let's get started! 643
Senior, 644
Do you think Chen Changsheng will win? 645
Can't tell. 646
I've heard that Tianhai Ya'er is the best at teling positions acording to sounds. 647
If being blinded, 648
I don't know if I can defeat him. 649
Let alone, 650
Being disturbed by drumbeats now. 651
Tell me, will master win? 652
I've never seen him practicing this. 653
Nonsense! 654
Whose Shifu he is?! 655
It's said that Tianhai Ya'er has a pair of magical ears, 656
Which are very sensitive to sounds. 657
I'm afraid that he's second to none in terms of telling positions according to sounds. 658
Then he'll definitely win. 659
Shifu, watch out! 660
That's impossible. 661
Nothing is impossible. 662
Admit it or not? 663
If not, I'll beat your grandsons to admit it! 664
Master! Master! Master! 665
Shifu, watch out! 666
Master! 667
Yourong! 668
Shifu! 669
Tianhai Ya'er! 670
I'll beat you up to end your offsprings, see?! 671
You brat, 672
Do you think I can't take care of you?! 673
Tianhai Ya'er, there'll be consequences! 674
It's the amulet! 675
Tianhai Ya'er abused hidden weapons, 676
Violated the rules of the competition. 677
He shall no longer sit the examination. 678
Winner in this round is, 679
Guojiao Academy, Chen Changsheng. 680
Yeah! Shifu wins! 681
Shifu, you're so awesome! 682
Master! Master! You're the best! 683
This was invited by my mom 684
from a magical mountain in our beast clan. 685
Makes its holder safe and successful. 686
I'm gonna give it to you as a gift. 687
Thanks. 688
Besides, 689
My father has hidden a protective golden light in it. 690
At the critical moment, 691
It'll protect you from a fatal attack. 692
Yeah, Shifu wins! 693
So awesome! 694
Shifu, you're so awesome! 695
We win! 696
Master, you're the best! We win! 697
Master is the best! 698
It proves that everything is destined. 699
Saintess, 700
What do you think of Chen Changsheng? 701
Fortune favors the fools. 702
He's a fool? 703
But I think he's rather schemed. 704
Tianhai Ya'er must be tricked by him. 705
Why did you say that? 706
When it comes to telling positions according to sounds, 707
He's definitely weaker than Tianhai Ya'er. 708
If I'm not mistaken, 709
He exploited the formation set up on Zhaowen Square. 710
He knew every move of Tianhai Ya'er 711
Based on the formation's fluctuations. 712
In this case, 713
Tianhai Ya'er had lost the upper hand to him. 714
I see. 715
Well, Qiushan Jun, who do you think will win in the next round? 716
If we don't give him any chance to gain advantage by trickery, 717
I think the winner must be our Lishan Academy's 718
Gou Hanshi. 719
What's your opinion, saintess? 720
If taking advantage of the environment means trickery, 721
He will still find a chance to gain advantage by trickery. 722
I think Changsheng will win. 723
Let's wait and see what will happen, then. 724
Ever since the Ivy Banquet, 725
I've been thinking about fighting with you again. 726
Today, this chance finally comes.
Me, too. 728
Thank you for saving Qijian. 729
But this time, I won't give ground to you. 730
You don't need to. 731
I'll go all out. 732
Hope you can also pull out all the stops. 733
You spoke my mind! 734
Your highness, 735
I think mister will win again this time. 736
You don't say. After all, he's my Shifu! 737
Shifu, you must win. 738
We all believe that you will. 739
What a marvellous green-leaf space! 740
His holiness made such a wonderful world, 741
Indeed admirable. 742
Chen, 743
Let's get started. 744
Please.
