[Previously] - Sir, you want to capture the tortoise in the urn, have you thought
you are the hopeless tortoise yourself?
Old Ancestor, just bring him along.
I am Sumu.
[Episode 16]
We've arrived.
This road leads to Deer Mountain.
We need to take a side trail to Wu Mountain.
Old Ancestor, you've seen a lot and known alot.
Do you know why there have been so soldiers from Heng and Xiang kingdoms?
Of course they are heading toward Deer Mountain.
My father said, during the previous Deer Mountain Conference,
Heng Kingdom was not yet as strong as now.
We were defeated by Xiang, had to cede Liang Shan County, protected the kingdom under humiliation.
That's how the war ended.
Now Great Heng will finally show off its glory.
Of course.
On surface, the Deer Mountain Conference
is to renew the land negotiations. In actuality,
all the kingdoms will compete after a few years' rest.
The result will definitely impact the overall situation among the kingdoms. It cannot be underestimated.
No wonder all these soldiers look spirited.
Seeing the outside world is indeed more enlightening than studying in the palace.
I previously told you in the letter that there is much danger in Wu Mountain.
It's not too late for you to change to go to Deer Mountain.
No one moves.
No one can just get off the Zhou family's carriage at will.
Old Ancestor...
Your cultivation level is lower. I advise you not to move.
Keep driving!
Yes.
My purpose for the trip is to travel around.
It's alright to visit Wu Mountain.
I don't understand something. Since Lu Mountain Conference is coming up soon,
why is Your Majesty taking the trouble to come here
to search for Blind Dragon Bodhi Fruit?
I was the one who set the time for the conference.
It's because
the Bodhi Fruit is ripening just about now. [King of Xian]
It can restore my golden body.
Old King of Xian!
How can you still smile in face of disaster?
You already told me in the letter that this trip is full of dangers. We are just tied up right now,
and he hasn't done anything threatening to us so far in this journey.
It means that we can still be used.
Then we can fear him even less. We'll balance each other and use each other.
You are right. At least, we don't need to fear for our lives.
We...
Aren't we considered friends bonded in times of trouble?
Too bad Yuan Wu is your royal father.
We can never be friends by fate.
I guess we are.
We should go over there now.
Someone has arrived before us.
Old Ancestor.
They outnumber us by much. We are only three and do not hold any advantages.
They also seem quite strong.
Of course we shouldn't recklessly advance.
Since we are all here for the medicine,
obviously we don't want them to get ahead of us.
Do you have a plan, Old Ancestor?
In a moment, after the formation opens,
the stone door will open.
You will enter at that time, and I will guard the rear.
Remember,
you must be fast.
The time has arrived.
Once I enter the formation, the stone door will close.
You all shall wait for me here. [Li Yunrui, General of Xian Kingdom]
- Yes. - Yes.
The door is open.
Who is that?
- Capture them! - Stop!
Enough.
You can't open the door.
The door can only be opened if the formation is broken.
Your Majesty, can the formation open again?
I will go get reinforcements.
Wu Mountain didn't use to have the Smoky Rain Formation.
It's so happened when I passed by this place
and discovered the Bodhi Fruit magic herb.
I was afraid that others will take it,
so I set up the formation.
The formation only opens every year on this day at noon.
Once we enter the formation, unless I do it myself,
the only way to exit it is by breaking the formation.
Do you mean that we'll let them grab the Bodhi Fruit?
Enough of it.
Send off the signal to get reinforcements. We'll wait here.
If they are lucky enough to break the formation,
I will kill them and get the medicine.
Yes.
Old Ancestor, did you defeat the people up above?
There are one or two left.
Then they must still be waiting outside. They may even send for help.
No worries. As long as I get the Bodhi Fruit,
I will restore my gold body.
No strong fighters can beat me.
Old Ancestor, Brother Su and I are still low in our cultivated strengths.
If you take us along to look for the herb, we will probably be your burden.
Right, right.
Therefore, I think...
Youngster Ding Ning,
I've seen your intelligence and skills.
This Smoky Rain Formation holds uncertain dangers.
Bringing you along will only make us safer.
These six pathways all look the same.
Just pick any one of them.
That makes sense.
In that case, why not take this one?
We seem to have returned to the original spot.
Let's go again.
Follow me this way.
Let's go.
Hurry.
Old Ancestor, have you been here before?
It's my first time here.
Don't talk anymore. Let's just follow the path and see.
Old Ancestor,
we've taken all of the six pathways.
Look, I made marks on every one of the paths.
Smart. This is why I brought you along.
Otherwise, we'd all exhaust ourselves and die here.
This stone formation is complex. When we first entered, we still had a sense of directions.
But once we go in deeply, we lose all sense of directions.
If we can't even exit the formation, how do we get the medicine?
Isn't our eyesight just obscured by the grow of plants and grasses?
Let me clear a path for us.
Wait!
It's already been some time.
Those that barged into the formation still haven't come out.
It means they've already died inside the formation.
How do you know they cannot exit, Your Majesty?
Everyone knows that the four kingdoms each has a specialty.
Heng swords, Xian tools, Li incantations, Muo ghosts.
I used the Xian tools to build the formation,
added Li's incantation and Muo's ghost technique as safeguards.
The Bodhi Fruit can only be cut by a Heng's sword.
Therefore, this formation is formed by the essence of four kingdoms.
There are very few in this world that can break this formation.
Your Majesty is wise. Most schools usually teach simple incantations from Li.
Since Xian tools are the pillars of the formation, they will sustain until the end.
Out of my curiosity, what is the thing that relates to ghosts?
Inside the formation, it is full of an unusual plant from Muo kingdom.
This plant is not poisonous,
but once the branch is damaged,
it will release a toxic fume. Anyone who breathes it
will be paralyzed and then lose all senses.
Eventually they'll die of asphyxiation.
But, since they cannot break the formation,
doesn't it mean we'll have to wait until next year to get the Bodhi Fruit?
Let's wait and see a little longer.
Ding Ning, I can't see anymore! Ding Ning!
- Brother Su! - Ding Ning!
- I can't see anymore. - I'm here.
I'm very afraid. I can't see.
It's alright. It's alright.
It's alright.
Old Ancestor, Brother Su and I have breathed in too much toxic fume. We probably won't survive.
You'll probably be dragged down by us if you continue to guard us here.
Why don't you exit the formation to get the medicine. We'll wait for you here.
Ding Ning.
By saying this,
do you have a solution to counter it?
I looked at the formation just now.
I discovered some similarity with Muo kingdom's ghost techniques.
The incantations on the columns also look like they're from Li kingdom.
I didn't expect
that you have knowledge about Li's incantations and Muo's ghost techniques.
If you trust me, then try standing in the center of these six stone columns.
Pour your energy into these stone columns sequentially.
Let the energy flow through all the columns.
If there isn't any other surprise, this formation should be broken.
Good. I'll believe you.
Brother Su, are you alright?
Old Ancestor, hurry and go get the Bodhi Fruit. We'll wait for you here.
It's fine now. It's fine now.
The formation is broken. It's broken.
Old Ancestor, what is the meaning of this?
There is lingering fog inside the pathway.
I've lived until this old age,
naturally I fear death. You go first.
Since you are using me as your shield, I can go with you.
But Brother Su has breathed in too much toxic fume,
I want to bring him along.
We are pressed for time.
Don't worry. Perhaps this will help you feel more at ease.
Let's go.
Su Mu. Su Mu.
Bodhi Fruit, I can finally get you.
I can finally be relieved of years of suffering
by the cold moon's congealing air.
I can finally
restore my gold body!
I can restore my gold body!
No, no, no!
No!
No! No!
No eyeballs.
Flowing Stone Plate?
The formation is broken?
Why are you fine?
So you've had your own scheme.
You are the one who has been scheming.
You harm people, and eventually harm yourself.
Ignorant kid, how dare you harm me!
Nine-Death Silkworm! You are...
You've lived long enough.
Just as talked about,
you are his descendant?
My teacher passed away ten years ago, and you still remember.
I, Ding Ning, am grateful.
Brother Su breathed in the toxic fume in the formation,
and has passed out.
Don't worry, this is the antidote.
He will wake up very soon.
Brother Su. Brother Su.
Ding Ning.
Get up.
Where is the Bodhi Fruit?
That old scumbag Zhou ate it.
Zhou Rongmuo.
So he has been alive.
You are really knowledgeable about everything.
That old scumbag deviated into an obsessive cultivation.
He wanted to use the Bodhi Fruit to restore his body.
Brother Su and I were captured by him.
We hurt your chance in getting the medicine. I'm sorry.
Forget it. Ultimately, I am not fated to have the magic medicine.
Oh yes, where you two going?
You can come riding in my carriage and go together.
Thank you for your kind gesture.
In looking at your appearance and clothing, you must be from Xian?
Heng and Xian are different. We brothers are from Heng.
In this Deer Mountain Conference, it concerns the two kingdoms' vital affairs.
Going together will definitely cause attention.
Good.
It's good that you know what's important and can see the big picture.
You two are talented at a young age.
You will definitely have a great future.
I don't force people.
How about this?
Li Yunrui.
Yes.
There is still a distance from Deer Mountain.
Give me a carriage.
It'll be more comfortable for them on the road.
Yes.
Thank you, Senior.
At Marquis Fang's manor, there are two shifts taking turn to guard every night.
Each shift lasts four hours.
After this shift, we can go inside.
I've found the right helper.
The tunnel is here.
The well?
It can't be wrong.
Even though this is an obscure location, but it is the safest place in the entire manor.
Under this well is the escape tunnel.
It appears that Marquis Fang has not discovered this secret.
The tunnel is only known to Gongsun family.
Back then, Marquis Fang was bestowed the manor by the king.
He wouldn't have chosen to live in a place like this.
You seem to be know this place well.
Xue Garden was my old living quarter.
I am the youngest in the family.
To my parents, the safest place is for their children.
Isn't that so?
I don't have parents.
Mistress Zhangsun, since you are willing to come back here.
I want to say something in behalf of Teacher.
Please let go of the past.
Teacher supported the changes in law to reform Great Heng from long afflicted problems.
I wouldn't have killed any of the nobles as the price. It was King Yuan Wu...
Even if it was for changing the laws,
what about me?
All of my relatives died.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I hated you very much for a long time.
It's because I hate all the traitors like Ye Zhen who betrayed love.
I also didn't understand why you would survive under them.
It's until you came to me,
I understand I was mistaken about you.
I, Ye Celeng,
have never betrayed my Teacher and sect for even one day.
I came to visit my old home today
is because I respect him as a person.
I also know that if it weren't for Yuan Wu and Ye Zhen's betrayal back then,
Ba Mountain Sword Academy would not have been destroyed.
But it doesn't mean
that I would forget the pain and harm that he brought upon me.
You hate him.
But you also love him.
The well is quite deep. Can you swim?
In a time of chaos, you have to learn something to survive.
Even if I didn't know how, I've learned after all these years during my overseas' expedition.
After three days,
we will meet on the side of Wei River.
No one here.
We should be here right now.
There is still some distance between our current location to the Great Floating Water Prison.
We should follow this path.
- Be cautious. - They must have planned an ambush already.
Alright.
Kill the flame now!
What is it?
The water is full of oil.
Someone is guarding the waterway further up.
It is indeed a fake one.
They want to use the oil to kill all the jailbreakers.
Capture the tortoise trapped inside the urn. This is just like ten years ago.
Let's go back.
Wait.
We seem to have passed here already.
It looks the same everywhere around here. It's really difficult to tell the difference.
Look at that wilted leaf.
When we sail, it's difficult to tell direction simply by the water flows.
But it's different here. There is no wind here.
The topography determines the direction of the water flows.
Based on what you say,
we've been going downstream.
You are right.
If they have set up a trap to inflame the oil to burn us to death,
since water flows from high to low, it should be upstream.
So the real Great Floating Water Prison should be upstream.
We should go upstream.
There is no algae on the wall.
It should be a new construction.
Look at the direction of the water,
I think the Great Floating Water Prison is right behind it.
It should be.
Let's go back first.
We'll plan our moves after we go back.
You are really lucky. We had many surprises and dangers today.
I don't know why, but
when you covered my eyes day, I felt very at ease.
I felt all the dangers will be resolved safely.
Maybe you are a natural-born lucky star. I couldn't even be sure that we would survive without harm.
You actually chose to come with me.
Stop! Get off the carriage!
Stop!
Xian kingdom's carriage! Why are you in Heng's territory?
It looks like Heng soldiers. What do we do?
Leave it to me.
This is Heng military's camp?
We did not know the Crown Prince is here.
We've disturbed you. Please forgive us, Crown Prince.
So you are the Crown Prince?
General, you are not at fault, please rise. Is my Royal Father nearby?
Why are you inside a Xiang kingdom's carriage, Crown Prince?
Are you kidnapped?
There is a reason. Take me quickly to see Royal Father.
But this carriage...
Your Crown Prince has been hurt by a toxic fume. He is still weak.
Excuse us for delaying your treatment. Please follow us to the camp.
Please show us the way, General.
Yes.
So you are the Crown Prince? You've cheated me for so long.
