[The Mystic Nine]
Your question's a good one.
It has increased the resolve of our Zhang family.
When the time comes that you all feel that something's wrong,
then it means that the bad thing has already happened.
You all must immediately handle this problem.
Don't neglect it. You should go find it.
Don't neglect it. I must find it.
Fo Ye, what's wrong?
Nothing.
[Tongtai Docks]
Lu Jianxun has already assigned men to monitor Er Yuehong's house.
I've also arranged everything in Zuihong Brothel.
Once Zhang Qishan and the others appear in Changsha, we can catch them all with one net.
Not really. There's still one person in Changsha City that's hard to deal with.
Who is it?
Xie Jiu Ye.
How much do you know about him?
On the outside, he usually just look like a cultured and weak businessman.
He's actually very crafty. I don't know much about him.
I've long heard of him.
Looks like it's time to meet him.
Tomorrow, let's go together.
Me?
I'll send someone to deliver a treasure to you tomorrow.
Take it and finish some business for me.
What is it?
It's a jade Buddha statue from the Tang Dynasty.
Among the treasures that Xinyue Hotel will soon be auctioning,
this jade Buddha statue is the most valuable among them.
Using that item can give a huge blow to Xinyue Hotel.
Didn't you say that we're going to meet Xie Jiu Ye?
How come you're involving Yin Xinyue now?
Just do what I say.
I fear...
I don't hear anything! I don't hear anything!
I don't hear anything...
Old Ba!
I can't hear it! I can't hear! I see no evil, hear no evil.
I don't see anything! I don't hear anything!
Don't touch me!
Stop speaking nonsense.
Fo Ye?
Fo Ye! It's you!
Fo Ye, you're finally here!
Fo Ye! Fo ye!
What's wrong?
Why do you have so much blood?
Come, sit down.
Slowly.
Sit.
Fo Ye, rest a little.
What's wrong? Let me see.
The poison again?
That hair must have inserted into your skin when you were careless.
Fo Ye, with you bearing it by yourself is too ruthless.
- I'm so impressed. - Stop with your nonsense.
These images that you drew, were you able to understand something?
Of course! My reputation isn't for show.
Look!
This is an image of the "bagua."
Right now, we're at the bottom of a mine mountain.
In a labyrinth that's extending in all directions,
we clearly have entered a trap mechanism.
Do I need you to tell me that?
Fo Ye, don't interrupt me first. Let me finish.
Look how similar all these rooms are.
Yet, they're different. Every room's size,
shape, and order
will change in an unpredictable manner. But no matter how it changes,
they all have one thing in common.
That is the number of holes in a room
will always be 64.
Guess what that means.
Get to the point.
This corresponds to the 64 Fuxi Hexagrams.
It represents the natural world.
The cycle of karma.
You're saying that once we enter it,
we have no way of getting out. Am I right?
Not really.
Have you thought about a way out?
- Exactly. - Then say it!
Fo Ye, don't scare me.
Can you stop talking so loudly? I will say it.
Fo Ye, think about it.
The family members of Er Yuehong got trapped here for 27 days.
If they were able to go out, then Er Ye can surely come up with a way out.
Hence, the most important thing we should do now is find Er Ye.
Find Er Ye. That's the idea you came up with?
Yes.
If not because I'm injured right now, I would—
Don't suddenly pull out your gun.
It's quite scary.
In everything, an amicable settlement is still better. Right?
Also, look at yourself now.
You used to be handsome, pizzazzed, a man of looks and talent.
Now, you're full of wounds and in unbearable pain.
If Sister-in-Law learned about this...
Her heart would surely break.
Why are you mentioning her?
This is my real fiancé, Peng Sanbian.
That one over there is fake. If you dare hurt him,
I'll tell my father to kill you.
If you want to look, then openly look.
I like you looking at me.
I've decided. I'm following you.
Marrying you is my best choice.
How could you bear to destroy the happiness of an adorable young lady?
I'm determined to follow you. If you reject me, you're an asshole.
You and I will sleep in one room.
Moreover, you are my fiancé.
Why can't I sleep with you in one room?
What lady? Call me Madam.
Are you crazy?!
Why didn't you avoid it?
Er Ye, if you dare touch my husband,
I will never let you off!
You're hurt that bad?
Where else are you hurt? Let me see.
Those arrowheads are rusted.
If you don't clean them properly, it'll easily get infected.
I only wish that you don't go crazy again.
Making me...
Making the people around you worry.
While recuperating, you must watch what you eat.
I've already prepared the recipe for your dishes.
Everyday, we'll choose some non-greasy dishes.
For example, leafy vegetables, Chinese cabbage...
Can you stop driving me away whenever you see me?
You haven't fully recovered. Can you not go risk danger?
Have you never thought
what would happen to me if anything bad happened to you?
I don't care! I don't care!
I won't go anywhere. I'll wait here for you.
I said already that I won't go back, so I won't go back!
Either you let me go to the mine mountain with you,
or you let me stay here to wait for you.
Fo Ye!
You scared me.
I thought that your soul had left your body because of your missing Sister-in-Law too much.
Okay already. Let's talk about something serious.
Quickly think of a way. The situation is quite urgent.
I'm only worried about Er Ye. Don't know if he's all right.
That's right.

Fo Ye! Old Ba!
Er Yuehong!
Who are you?
You ask me who I am?
You surely know me better than anyone else.
For where did a demon like you come from?
I'm you.
You are me.
You can't lock me up in your heart anymore.
Impossible.
- You're afraid or are you trying to avoid me? - I'm not.
Why then can't you directly look at me?!
Why can't you look at your ugly face?!
You are my heart's demon. I'm not afraid of you!
How come Yatou is dead, but you're still alive?
Shut up.
Didn't you say that the person you love the most is Yatou?
- Weren't you supposed to take care of her forever? - Shut up.
- Were you able to do it? - Shut up!
That's what you said before! What national endeavor? What familial duty?
- Without her, what's the use of your achievements?! - Shut up!
My family all died because of this tomb.
This is the only thing that I can do for my ancestors.
This is also a duty that I should bear as the member of the Mystic Nine Families.
You are able to face them, but what about Yatou?!
I know that you've long hated your identity.
And I am that existence that you refuse to acknowledge.
Am I not?
You're not me! You're not me! Who really are you?!
Who are you?
Who am I?
I don't know who I am.
I don't know.
I don't know...
If...
I could really go accompany Yatou just like that,
then fine.
I have never forgiven myself.
So, I've never forgiven myself.
Yatou...
Granduncle, so you've been here, too.
My ancestors were all able to persist until they left this place.
I also mustn't give up.
What did granduncle hide in here?
It's impossible that he left these images for no reason at all.
What is he trying to convey?
We can't go out anymore.
Can't go out anymore.
We all will die here.
Don't come near me!
- Da Long, what are you doing? Have you gone insane? - We'll die...
We're not yet dead.
What's the difference of this with dying?
What's the difference with dying?!
It's as if you haven't seen those drawings.
We've researched it. We've checked all the holes here.
We can't go out. We can't go out.
In the end, we'll still end up here.
This is a labyrinth.
- We all will die from getting trapped here! - We surely will find the way out.
Second-in-charge, come up with an idea.
Second-in-Command, quickly think of a way.
If you're afraid of death, why did you still come down here?
Let me tell you. That none from our clan is afraid of a tomb.
That's right. No one from our clan is afraid of an ancient tomb.
That's right. If granduncle was able to come out from here,
then it means that there is a way out.
So the exit of this burial chamber is there.
Looks like I indeed needed some time to find it
before I could safely leave this place.
I don't know what the situation of Fo Ye and Old Ba is right now.

Oh, no, Fo Ye!
Fo Ye, right now we have a Five Yellow Misfortune bumping into a Yin Misfortune.
If we want to resolve this misfortune, we must place a white jade wind chime in the eastern position.
Eastern position.
Eastern position...
East...
Qi Tiezui, why are you so stupid?
So what if you find it? Where will you get a white jade wind chime?
You're really so at ease.
It's as if I'm the only one trapped.
You're just going to sit here and ascend to Heaven as an immortal?
Just sit then. Not moving at all.
You may be able to do it for an hour, for three hours.
What about one day, three days, or a week?
You have to face reality, right?
We are tra—
I can hear you. You've been calculating for so long and still unable to find the answer.
Fo Ye! Fo Ye! You finally talked to me.
I said earlier that we are Five Yellow Misfortune—
Get to the main point!
Look. Look, Fo Ye.
Among these 64 holes, there's only one exit,
but a total of 4,600 possible paths.
If we are to test them one by one,
it would take us eight to ten years.
I really can't understand anymore.
How did Er Yuehong's ancestors get out of here back then?
Fo Ye, can you listen to my words?
What was that?
Er Ye!
Fo Ye!
You finally are here! We're now saved!
Fo Ye, your hand...
It's fine. Are you hurt?
No. This cave wasn't able to trap my granduncle, so it surely can't trap me either.
Fo Ye, wasn't I right?
Er Ye, quickly take us out of here.
This cave was designed in a very precise manner.
All the rooms are connected.
if you don't find the accurate method, I think you won't be able to leave here forever.
But if you're able to find that one right exit,
and then go out layer by layer,
you then can find the center of this cave.
How come that image looks so familiar?
Heavenly stems, female earth, west wind and shaking thunder formation.
You can even decipher a thing like that?
Based on the location of the exit on each room,
the number of holes,
and combining it with my deduction of Fuxi's Eight Trigrams.
I am sure that we are currently inside
a very formidable divination technique.
Other than continuously shuttling across the caves, we have no choice.
You're saying that we can't solve it?
We can't.
Guys, I've already found a way out.
Come with me.
Okay.
I found it.
Let's go.
Fo Ye, I'd predicted two days ago that I would get injured.
Look. Aren't I very accurate? So painful.
Old Ba,
there's some good news and some bad—
I only listen to the good news. I can calculate the bad ones.
This must be the last room.
But we still don't know what we'll meet in front.
Are we going to go turn back or continue moving forward? Tell me.
Of course, continue moving forward!
No matter if it's a death or survival path,
as long as you're beside me,
just give the command and I'll dig out a path for you.
You're saying that it's scary in front but not dangerous?
Please then.
So this is the safe exit. Let's go!
Fo Ye!
Let's go.
Since we have found the safe exit, you two can leave.
What are you planning to do?
On this blueprint, only the exit is marked out. But the route to the vault isn't marked,
which means that the things hidden in the vault are of no small matter.
If I can't get the things I want, I will not leave.
The reason why that granduncle did not draw out the route for it
means that it is very dangerous. I hope Fo Ye will not take risks.
The reason why I came here is to get what the Japanese want to get.
You can't. I should be the one going to get it. My ancestors were the ones who got to the vault first.
No!
You came because of me. I can't allow you to be in danger.
If you were like me, without any ties or attachments, I could let you go as you wish.
But you are not. Madame Zhang, members of the Zhang Family,
the people of Changsha. All are relying on you.
If you cannot safely exit this cave,
I, Er Yuehong, will be condemned as a sinner. Have you spared a thought for me?!
Okay, okay, okay! Fo Ye, what Er Ye said makes sense.
We aren't sure of how dangerous it is in this tomb and we haven't made any preparations.
If something happens down there, it would not be worth it.
Er Ye, what kind of temperament you have, we all already know.
Whatever you decide on, I, Qi Tiezui, shall not talk about it any further.
But Fo Ye and I will definitely wait for you here. You shouldn't be too stubborn as well.
If something happens inside, just come out.
The tomb is here, and it won't run away, right? There is still a long time ahead of us.
Okay.
Be careful when you go in. We will wait for you here.
This is the way?
Four hours. If I don't come out within four hours,
Ba Ye and Fo ye, please leave this cave together.
Sure. We will comply with Er Ye. We will wait here for four hours.
But there are tens of thousands of entrances to this cave and only one exit.
Er Ye, the entrance to this tomb is probably extremely difficult to find. Have you thought about how you would deal with this?
If you are lost inside, not only for four hours, what if you can't come out forever?
How do we explain this to your ancestors and late wife?
Fo Ye, Ba ye. I'll make the first move.
If I can come out alive, remember to come to my mansion and make a toast to me.
Fo ye, if after these four hours and Er Ye still hasn't come back, are we really leaving?
Of course, we won't leave. We will stay to wait for him.
In this world, there is only you and I left who will care for him.
I did not insist earlier so as to not make him worry.
Fo Ye, do we still keep track of the time?
Madame. Madame? Let's go.
Madame, do go in.
Seeing you so worried, do I need to inform Xie Jiu Ye
so that he can send someone to go in with you?
Why do I have to worry? What do I have to worry about?
Ever since you came out, you...
Xiao Kui, do I treat you too well on a regular basis?
Now you even dare to control me now?
I need to settle some family matters now. You go wait for me downstairs.
Do not come up unless I tell you so. Go ahead, quick.
Yes, Madame.
Father...
You sneaked away secretly.
It seems like living life with a rough laborer...
has been good, Miss Yin, am I right?
