[Red Manor]
Teacher's Wife, drink some tea.
Teacher's Wife, how do you feel?
Rest assured. I'm fine.
Teacher's Wife, do you treat me as an idiot?
I saw you were coughing badly that you couldn't even hold the bowl.
If you don't tell the truth,
I will tell Teacher.
No, you can't. Don't tell your teacher.
Why? Why are you like this? Why can't I tell teacher?
Telling him will only make him worry.
So, do you... want us to see you get worse and worse?
What else can I do?
What doctor haven't I seen all these years?
What medicine did I not eat?
Did it work?
Teacher's Wife,
don't give up. You'll eventually figure it out.
If we can't find it in China, let's find it elsewhere.
I came back this time to tell Teacher,
there might be a medicine that can save you.
Really?
Teacher's Wife, rest first. I surely will save you.
Teacher!

[Mystic Nine]
Teacher!
Say it again. What do you want me to do?
I want you to meet the Japanese. They have medicine that can save your wife's life.
Vile thing!
As long as you go and meet the Japanese,
even if I were stoned to death, I will endure it.
The Japanese invaded China, stopping at nothing in doing evil.
Do you think they would be kind enough to give us the medicine to save my wife's life?
I don't care, as long as they can save her life.
Their aim is not to saving my wife, I am their target.
They actually went to Liyuan to look for me. I've already refused them.
I never expected for you to lobby for them when I got home.
I know they couldn't see you, so they found me instead.
Master, please trust the Japanese once.
What if they really have the medicine?
Why don't you understand me after I said all this?
They have evil intentions. We don't want anything to do with them.
Chen Pi, I don't care what you have done outside.
But at least you should know right from wrong.
You disappoint me very much.
Go away.
Go.
Er Ye.
Ya Tou.
Did you hear all of that?
Will you blame me for not getting the medicine for you?
I won't.
Let's not first talk about if the medicines from the Japanese are effective or not.
I know, Er Ye, you truly care about me.
Even if there is only one in a million chance,
you definitely would save me.
Don't worry. I'm asking Jiu Ye to look for it.
He even studied abroad, so he is experienced and knowledgeable. He will find a way...
to save you.
Oh, those Japanese.
They just did something petty.
I will deal with it. The thing that made me sad is,
Chen Pi didn't recognize right from wrong.
He didn't know that he has fallen into the trap set up by others.
Er Ye, Chen Pi is still young and immature.
It will be fine if you just teach him slowly. Don't be mad.
Sure, I will take your advice.
After all, he was worried about you.
I wouldn't spare him easily if not because of this.
Fo Ye, do you think he will come back?
If he doesn't need firewood, but what about an ax?
Fo Ye, he is back.
I finally found this thing.
- Who are you people? - Sit down!
What are you going to do?
Oh my goodness, so many military supplies.
No, no no.
Say it! Where did these come from?
The...
Elder, don't be nervous.
We are just asking where are all this stuff came from.
We won't take your stuff.
All this stuff... I picked up from outside.
What?! You think I'm a fool?
Really! Really.
Where did you pick them up?
Don't push me.
Right here.
What stuff here is so smelly?
Putrid bodies.
There is no need to make such a big deal for sacrificed victims.
These aren't sacrificed victims, this is murder.
Do you think there is any connection with the secret experiment?
Tell us the truth!
It has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill them.
Rubbish! Just based on your physique, would you be able to kill them?
I wouldn't believe you, even if you admitted to it.
I... I just want the money.
So I stole some of their stuff.
Nobody wants your stuff.
We are asking what happened to those people?
Say it!
Fine, fine. Let me speak.
Half a year ago,
there were suddenly a lot of people who arrived in the mining site. No one knows what their purpose was.
They gave me some money and drove me away.
I then couldn't dare to come back here.
Until a few days ago, I smelled something stinky.
And then, I discovered so many dead people here! I...
Have you seen that train?
Train...
That train was supposed to travel out that time.
Misters, I'm just earning a living.
I really don't know anything!
Misters.
Boss,
these people died the same way as those on the train.
They were wrapped into a spider web and are in a partially dehydrated state.
Their faces are all facing down.
And the tattoos on their bodies are all the same.
But what's strange is...
those people inside the train have hair.
How come these people don't?
I don't know. When I arrived, they were already in this state.
Was the hair of these people...
shaved by someone?
Based on how the corpses are piled,
the people on the train must have left in a hurry.
But despite being in such a hurry, they were able to shave the hair of these people first.
That's really strange.
Could this be the crucial point regarding that secret experiment?
What?!
Hair can be used for secret experiments?
Isn't their technology too advanced?
Old man.
You said that two months ago, Japanese came to the mining mountain.
They must be these people, right?
I don't understand what you're saying. I didn't see any Japanese.
- Still not saying the truth? - I...
I've investigated it.
The people inside the train were Japanese.
They died the same way as these people.
You knew that the Japanese are doing something strange but you didn't report it. You're so bold.
I... am old.
I can't discern who a Chinese is and who a Japanese is.
It's fine if you can't discern it clearly.
What's most important is you knew which mine opening it was.
That's right!
Fo Ye, we also must investigate the strange hair matter clearly.
As long as we know which mine opening those Japanese went to,
won't we find the clues?
Fo Ye, brilliant!
Move!

Fo Ye, the path has been blocked. We can't get in.
This is where they entered that time.
Who blasted it to become like this?
Those people blasted it before they left.
Is there any other entrance?
None anymore.
I'm not a very patient person.
It's true! It's true! There's no more.
If there are none,
how come you knew that the train left and the Japanese bombed this mine?
I really don't know anything.
When I heard the explosion, I climbed up here.
When I climbed up, I saw the train leaving this place.
They even wanted to silence me. Good thing, I was quick-witted.
I hid in the mountain and escaped that disaster.
You explained it so logically.
Tell me then.
How come the Japanese didn't kill you and even gave you money?
Because they need me to find the entrance.
I also need you to find me an entrance!
I only know this entrance.
Now, it's already blasted.
Yes.
- No... Don't! Don't! - Go!
Fo Ye, I've calculated it.
This place is very ominous. We mustn't stay long.
I'm sure you know that the Japanese have an evil scheme.
For the safety of the citizens of Changsha, I must investigate it clearly.
You...
Don't worry.
I'll surely guarantee your safety. Move aside.
Where do we go?
What place is that?
Nothing.
Just an abandoned burial site.
Fo Ye, you heard my calculations earlier.
Today is a day when it will be laborious for the ambitious to obtain blessings.
It's advised not to break ground, repair tombs, or travel.
Old Ba,
you're a fortune teller. I'm fine with you believing in these things, but I don't.
- You know that. My fate is made to be broken. Let's go. - Hey! Hey!
- Fo Ye! - Hey!
Fo Ye, you can't go.
Let me tell you—
You really can't go here. You can't go.
Fo Ye, looks like you're determined to go down the mine.
There's nothing here but a burial site.
Fo Ye! Fo Ye! Fo Ye!
Fo Ye!
Fo Ye! You can't go in!
What this man said is right. You mustn't enter this tomb.
It's very ominous! Very ominous!
I just love ominous; hence, I came to the right place.
- Go in. - Yes.
You can't. You can't. That's a dead end.
Fo Ye, I think we better do things in a cautious manner.
Let's convince Er Ye to come down with us.
You go convince him.
You must be joking. You couldn't even get him to come, so how could I?
It's as if you never saw that map of the secret experiment base.
This path...
is surely connected with the Japanese. I must go in and have a look.
Fo Ye, there's a path.
- Go! - This...
Hurry up!
- Hurry! - Yes.
This old man is still useful.
You can't go in! You can't go in!
- We mustn't go in! - Get inside!
[Hong Manor]
Chen Pi, did you come to apologize to Er Ye today?
Last time, what did you do wrong? It's been so long since I saw Er Ye get angry like that?
It's just right for Teacher to scold me. You better stop meddling with this matter from now on.
- Teacher's Wife. - Madam!
Quickly return to your room. Er Ye especially instructed us to not let you work.
Teacher's Wife, next time, just instruct me to do the chores.
I saw how good the weather is today.
Also, these costumes of Er Ye have been kept for quite a long time.
I thought of putting them out to at least remove the dust.
Moreover, if I kept staying inside my room alone, I would die of boredom.
Then, I'll go get you some outerwear.
Teacher's Wife.
- Teacher's Wife, wear mine first. - Okay already.
Stop being busy. Taohua will be back soon.
- Quickly sit down. - Okay.
It's my fault.
This... Fan Lihua's beads have scattered.
This is Teacher's favorite head dress.
Chen Pi, you never touched this stuff before.
You are not interested in them, right?
I was once little and insensible.
Only afterwards did I understand that Teacher is indeed talented.
That's good. The beads of this Fan Lihua costume have fallen off.
How about this? I'll go out and choose some new ones for Er Ye.
Madam!
I'll just ask someone to deliver us some samples.
No need. I want to go out and have a stroll.
Have a stroll? I'll accompany you then.
Okay.
Let's go.
[Baide Ruila]
[Baide Ruila Department Store]
Timing & subtitles bought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Give that to me.
Teacher's Wife, were you able to buy stuff that you like for Teacher?
Look at what we were carrying.
Madam seems to want to buy all the costumes that Er Ye would be using in the future.
Madam, why the rush? From now on, I'll accompany you to come here and buy one every month.
I don't know how many times I can still buy stuff for him.
Teacher's Wife, don't say nonsense!
I'll accompany you to buy them next year and the year after.
After 10, 20 years, I still will accompany you to buy them.
Okay already. You really have a sweet tongue.
Taohua, let's go in front to look around more.
If there are tangyou baba (sweet snack made of glutinous rice, sugar, and honey), let's buy some to eat.
- Okay. Okay. - I also want them!
We will all get some.
Thanks, Madam.
Good thing, Chen Pi is here. Whatever Madam wants to eat, let's buy it and have him carry them all.
Right. I have the strength.
You... You only know to bully him.
[Baide Ruila Department Store]
Why must you be in a rush to eat it? No one's stealing it.
I'm fine, Teacher's Wife. I'm fine.
Why are you rushing?
Madam, look at him. He couldn't even talk properly. He most likely scalded his tongue.
- Are you really all right? - I'm really fine, Teacher's Wife.
- Madam! - Don't you have eyes?!
Teacher's Wife, are you all right?
I'm fine.
- The money pouch. - Money pouch?
- The money pouch is gone. - It must be that thief earlier.
- Take good care of Teacher's Wife. I'll be right back. - Okay.
Chen Pi!
This is bad. With his personality, something bad will surely happen. Let's go look.
You bastard! You dare steal my Teacher's Wife's money?! I'll punch—
Stop, Chen Pi! Don't hit him!
- You're getting physical again, is that it? - He stole your money.
You still shouldn't use force.
- I... didn't. - You're still answering back?
I thought you'd changed your attitude. How come you're still like this until now?
Teacher's Wife, don't be mad. I will change. From now on, I will change.
Don't hurt your health because of anger.
Madam, Chen Pi also has good intentions of getting your money pouch back.
Even if he does, he still shouldn't use violence.
I thought you'd changed your temper.
Since little, you've been by Er Ye's side.
How come you never learned any of his gentle temperament?
How are you? Did you get hurt?
Let me see. Do you feel any pain from falling down?
Tell me. Why must you steal?
I'm hungry. I want to eat and get my father a doctor.
- Where's your mother? - My mother has long died.
Taohua, didn't you buy a bag of cookies?
Give it to me.
Madam.
Here. Eat it while it's hot.
Hold this. Take them all back. Eat slowly.
Bring this money home and take your father to see a doctor.
From now on, don't steal anymore.
If you should encounter anymore problems,
- just go to the manor of Hong Er Ye to look for me. Okay? - Okay.
Quickly go home. Don't let your father worry.
Thank you, Sister.
- Teacher's Wife! - Madam!
The wind outside is strong. Let's quickly go back to the manor.
Right now, Changsha isn't safe anymore.
I'm afraid that the peaceful days won't be maintained for long.
Er Ye has always stood aloof of worldly matters.
No matter how chaotic the world becomes, it won't affect us.
He and Fo Ye are different.
He doesn't like excitement and bustle.
Let's go.
[Hong Manor]
Er Ye.
I heard from Taohua that you went out today.
With Chen Pi accompanying me, be at ease.
I went to buy some things for you.
What a coincidence!
I've also prepared a gift for you.
Really? What gift?
What is this?
This is an eyebrow pencil. The ladies outside all say that with this,
you can outline your eyebrows very deeply, but this doesn't reflect the exquisite beauty of one's facial features.
And you are so beautiful, with such beautiful eyes and eyebrows,
if we use this to outline them, they will surely be the most beautiful.
You're saying that because I don't go out often, I'm so old-fashioned.
Don't move. If they becomes crooked, don't blame me.
It's not that peaceful outside now.
If possible, go out less.
If you need anything done,
just let Chen Pi do it. Got it?
That will be so boring.
Unless you accompany me.
Sure.
I'll accompany you.
I'll accompany you for thousands of years and generations, from the ancient times until the present.
You're the one who said it.
You mustn't lie to me.
I... What are you doing?
- Where's my Teacher's Wife's handkerchief? - She already gave it to me.
I know that she gave it to you, but I don't want to give it to you.
Let me ask you one last time, where's the handkerchief?
Here!
Leave!
Don't anyone think of taking the items of my Teacher's Wife!
Fo Ye, how come there is water everywhere?
If we're going in, won't our shoes all be wet?
For the past two days, it's been raining hard here in Changsha.
This area is low-lying; hence, so much water has entered.
Ba Ye, didn't you prepare anything?
Who said that I didn't prepare? Before I left home today, I especially checked what character symbolizes my fate today.
Guess what. It's the word "miao." (T/N: for infinity or flood)
You have to encounter water for it to work.
- This... You! - Move!
Move!
You can't go in! Fo Ye! You mustn't continue forward.
The water in front is too deep. It's really not suitable for any people to go there.
The water didn't even immerse the roots of the tree. Who are you fooling?
If you continue to lie, Fo Ye will kill you with one shot.
How could I dare fool Fo Ye?
I'm telling the truth. This place is not really for humans.
There's something wrong with the water.
Fo Ye, there's only some water accumulation. What's wrong with it?
The collected water here is getting deeper.
It's possible that it came from inside,
or from above.
Anyway, the passageways here are too abundant.
- This place is way more complicated than I imagined. - Oh my,
Fo Ye! You're smart! Should we now go...
Continue moving forward.
Move!
Fo Ye, you really shouldn't continue moving forward! You mustn't go any further!
Fo Ye!
Fo Ye! You mustn't continue forward! It's too dangerous!
- Shut up! - Just let me go back!
Quickly!
Fo Ye! Hey, listen to me.
The deeper we go, the stronger the humidity is. Be careful.
You guys really shouldn't continue moving forward anymore!
Don't use those cunning words of yours.
Don't think I wouldn't dare cut off your tongue.
Continue moving forward.
Fo Ye, you really like to joke with me.
How could you bear to cut off my tongue? Right?
Fo Ye, let's stop moving forward.
It's quite dangerous.
Look...
Fo Ye, look!
Fo Ye, don't go! It's dangerous over there!
- Watch him. - Yes!
Behave!
Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
- Let's go. - Go!
Quickly go!
Fo Ye! Fo Ye!
Don't rush. Let me calculate if inside is an auspicious or ominous place.
No need to calculate.
It's just a statue.
Weird, how come this item is blocking the path?
From the looks of it, it seems like a woman.
Woman?
Fo Ye! Do you guys believe in the Xuanguan Religion?
What is that?
This statue looks a lot like the Old Mother of the Respected Heaven in that religion.
That Old Mother of the Respected Heaven is the most important deity in that religion.
For someone to place it here, there must be some great treasure hidden under this mine. This is no small matter.
It wasn't me! I didn't do it! It must be that group
of other laborers who secretly moved it in here.
I'm going inside to take a look
at what ghost or deities this one is suppressing.
Fo Ye! Stop moving forward! There are ghosts inside!
