[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 37]
We're finally out.
Where's Prince of the Third Rank?
Fo Ye, since we entered the meteorite, everything became abnormal.
This cave opening is also different from the one we entered.
At the third time we entered the cave,
there were signs of an explosion in the surrounding area.
Now, they've all disappeared.
The time is not right. The surroundings are also not right.
This world isn't our world.
Then it means, the meteorite earlier was a key.
A key that brought us here.
If it's really like that, if we are able to get out from here,
the object inside can also come out.
Hence, that Fengshui Barrier we saw earlier
was to hinder the items inside to come out.
The objects inside don't belong to this world.
That's why we ended up here.
But Er Ye... Er Ye will surely not stay in this world alone.

[The Mystic Nine]
Ya Tou!
Ya Tou...
Er Ye, you're home.
Stop washing.
Don't leave me.
Is this still the Changsha City that I know?
How come the sign I wrote is gone?
This surely isn't Changsha. I don't know this place.
Fo Ye, where are you going?
Going home!
Going home?
Oh, right. I am also going home.
I'm also going home to check if my little turtles are around.
Ba Ye! Where are you going?
I'm going home. Stay here and check if there's anyone that we know.
- If there are any, let's meet up at Fo Ye's house. - Okay.
- Be careful, Ba Ye. - Okay.
Zhang Qishan!
Kneel!
When our family left Dongbei, the Japanese had already...
And I personally buried him. Hence, this person can't be my father.
Definitely impossible.
Let me ask you.
Why did we change our names and hide our identity?
We don't want to be found by the Zhang clan.
Why then did we leave our ancestral tower in Dongbei?
To get rid of the ominous fate of our clan.
What then did you do when you got there?
You disturbed something that shouldn't have been disturbed.
You destroyed the balance between the two worlds.
For you to reach a doomed state like this
is because you deserved it!
How much effort did we spend?
We went through so many difficulties before we were able to leave Dongbei.
Look at you. What have you done now?!
How many brothers have been sacrificed along the way?
How many children? And then, we encountered the Japanese.
In the end, only one Zhang descendant was able to leave alive.
That's only a third! One third!
My child died in my arms.
But I don't even know where my wife died!
It's all because of you, Zhang Qishan!
It's all because of you!
It's because of you!
Your actions now have caused them to die in vain!
They all died because of you!
Because of you,
they died in vain!
Didn't you once teach me
to take responsibility for the sake of the people in this world?
I explored the tomb to hinder the evil scheme of the Japanese.
Did I do wrong?
No.
The members of the Zhang Clan aren't this weak.
What entities are you?
Talk!
What—
We died in vain.
It's all because of you, Zhang Qishan!
You destroyed the balance! You caused us to die in vain!
We all died in vain!
It's all because of you!
It's all because of you! It's you!
Ya Tou.
Er Ye.
Only you can take good care of the musical instruments here at home.
When you left, they all withered.
I can only watch as they die.
I'm only used to drinking the tea you make me.
Others can't create your flavor.
Do you know that your leaving
brought me so much trouble?
From now on, without my permission,
you can't leave first.
Understand?
Er Ye, we'll do whatever you say.
Are you hungry?
Let's go out for a stroll, for a walk, and eat some food.
Then, I'll have a new dress made for you.
Is that okay?
Okay.
No rush. We'll do it slowly.
We have time.
Where are my little turtles?
Even you left me.
So ungrateful.
Ancestor, let me light you an incense.
In the whole Changsha City,
I reckon that only my place hasn't changed.
Xiao Man!
I'm hungry and I still have to cook for myself.
Since that train incident,
it's been so long that I get to have days like this.
That stinky rascal Xiao Man has left,
but, at least, he left these wines for me.
This is great.
Say, with you gone,
I have to eat and drink wine alone.
I'm so exhausted.
One more cup.
Er Ye!
Er Ye isn't home?
Where could he go?
Fo Ye! I was just about to look for you.
I went to Er Ye's house and returned to my own house.
I realized that there something majorly wrong with this place where we are now.
It's abnormal.
Fo Ye, you also noticed it?
Do you still remember that when we went down the tomb, it was a waxing moon in the sky?
I remember it very clearly because I used that to foretell someone's future.
But, now, it became a waning moon.
Could it be we have stayed in the tomb for more than half a month?
What else did you discover?
Those two turtles in my house are missing, too.
How come this world is the opposite of ours?
I saw my father.
What? Your father?
Fo Ye, isn't your father already...
That... is dead already, right?
- Let's look for Er Ye. - Okay.
Owner! Owner!
Ya Tou, I'm hungry. Go cook me a bowl of noodles.
Okay.
Eat some noodles.
Here.
Are they delicious?
You eat, too.
Here.
Coming. Coming. The noodles are here.
Are they delicious?
Delicious!
I cooked them.
Ya Tou, don't worry. From now on,
no one will dare bully you.
The noodles you make are the best!
I'll accompany you for thousands of years. I'll accompany you for eternity.
Brother... in this life... I'm contented.
I don't regret it.
Let's go check over there.
Okay.
- Er Ye. - Er Ye?
Fo Ye, Old Ba? Why are you two here?
If you can get out of the ancient tomb, why can't we?
Madam, you're really here?
Greetings, Fo Ye, Ba Ye.
My god. Fo Ye, isn't she clearly a ghost?
Can we talk privately?
Wait for me here.
I know what you want to say. It's about Ya Tou.
Not just her. I also saw my dead father in my house.
But I personally buried him.
You then should get me.
I don't.
A dead person can't be revived. It's enough to place some things in one's heart.
Don't think of changing this world. This isn't a place where we should be.
We must leave.
Er Ye, did you listen to Fo Ye's words?
I heard them. I heard them very clearly.
Right, this isn't a place where we should be. May Fo Ye and Ba Ye leave now.
What do you mean?
In this world, there is indeed a yin and yang distinction.
But how sure are you that the world outside is the real one?
I don't know if the world outside is true or not, but I'm sure that this world where we are now is fake.
True or fake, fake or true. What is true, what is fake? It's not important to me anymore.
Why must you obstinately persist with your wrong thoughts?
For me, a place where Ya Tou is around is the real world.
Er Ye! Er Ye! Listen to me first.
Everything in this world is fake. Are you going to live your whole life in this fake world?
Why can't I?
I continued to live an ignoble existence until now. Just to support Fo Ye's grand undertaking, I went down the tomb
to investigate the secret of the ancient tomb. I've already done all my duties for the Nine Mystic Families and to my ancestors.
For the remainder of my life,
just let me be responsible to Ya Tou.
Stop right there!
Er Ye, did you see that? The sun sets and rises very fast here.
The day is short and the night is long. Everything here is actually the opposite of our world!
Er Ye, what are they saying? How come I don't understand any of it?
It's fine. You don't need to mind what they're saying. You just need to listen to me.
- Er Ye! - Fo Ye, don't chase him anymore.
I reckon that Er Ye has gone crazy. Let's just think of another way.
We cannot let...
-...Er Ye stay in this world. - This world is so strange.
Er Ye will be in danger if he stays here.
Er Ye loves Madam so much.
Fo Ye! Ba Ye!
Where did you get that horse?
There's a horse stable over there. I saw no one was guarding so I casually took a few horses. There's one for Fo Ye and Ba Ye.
Ya Tou, I missed you.
Er Ye, what are you saying?
Weren't we together the whole day?
It's not enough.
I want a year, ten years, a hundred years.
For me, being with you forever still isn't enough.
Okay.
If it's not enough in this life, let's still be a married couple in the next life.
Okay.
In the next life, we'll still be a married couple.

Ya Tou! Ya Tou!
Er Ye.
Stop washing. Stop washing. Look at me!
This is your most favorite bed curtain.
This bed curtain is very precious and expensive. It must be washed inch by inch.
I'm not at ease handing it to others.
The hell with that bed curtain! Ya Tou, I'll take you away now. Let's leave this ghostly place!
Let's go to Yunnan and look at the mountains and lakes that you so want to see.
We'll leave now. We'll leave now! We'll leave now!
This bed curtain is very precious and expensive. It must be washed inch by inch.
I'm not at ease handing it to others.
Ya Tou, don't be like this. Ya Tou...
Sorry, I was wrong. Ya Tou, I was wrong. I was wrong.
I shouldn't have excessively asked for ten years, for a hundred years. I just want a day. Keep me company for a day.
I'm satisfied that way. Ya Tou...
Ya Tou...
Just one day.
Fo Ye, we've been to the north, south, east, and western corners of Changsha. Wasn't it like what I said?
For places we haven't been to before, they are not here to begin with. All are just fog.
Oh, right. I'm guessing that Dongbei and Beiping are existing here.
So what, if they are? Didn't you say that they are illusions?
But going back to it, Er Ye is really pitiful.
When Madam died, his heart already died. But now, the dead ashes have reignited.
It's just that it would be hard now to put them out.
Since dead people gather here, let's not stay long.
And we still don't clearly understand the situation over there. Let's go back first. Go.
Okay.
Ya Tou.
Let's not wash anymore after washing this. Okay? Stop washing.
Why are you here?
It's getting late. We should go.
I think I've said it very clearly.
Whether by affection or reason, you all shouldn't interfere.
Quickly leave this place.
Er Ye, the situation has changed. We've patrolled the whole city.
We discovered that dead people are the ones who reside here.
Also, it's all just unending fog surrounding this place.
Right now, only Changsha City is left.
So what?
If we don't leave and get trapped here, we won't be able to go anywhere.
That would be great. I don't have the grand ambition that you all do.
Being alone would give me some peace of mind.
Even if only this manor is left,
I'm very willing to stay here.
What do you want to do?
Let me tell you
that everything that you see is fake.
Including her! She's also fake!
Why are you willing to stay here?
You clearly know that all of this is fake.
She's real! She's real!
She can hold my hand, talk to me, and wash my bed curtain!
She's real.
Okay.
She's real.
Take her with us. Go. Let's go.
Once we reach the meteorite, you'll know if she's true or not.
Let's go! You dare not leave, is that it?
You're afraid that once we reach that place, she'll dissipate like smoke and die once again.
I don't care! She's real!
If you don't leave now, you'll also die here.
That's right, Er Ye. This place is very dangerous.
Let's quickly get out.
Ya Tou, are you willing to leave with me?
Er Ye, we'll go wherever you say we'll go.
Okay. This time, we have to go in there once again.
Ya Tou, are you afraid?
I'm not.
No, why are you just standing there? Quickly lead the way.
Okay. Okay.
Let's go.
I surely will remember the ancestral teachings of the Zhang family and not disappoint you, my elders.
The deduction of Zhang Qishan that time was right.
Since they entered the tomb inside the meteorite,
everyone fell into a strange illusion.
The radiation energy of the meteorite
gathered all the memory fragments of everyone around.
Combining them to create an imaginary world right before their eyes.
Fo Ye, Chen Pi seems to have disappeared.
Be careful and increase your guard.
Okay.
Ya Tou, what's wrong?
I'm a bit tired.
How about we rest first?
How about it? Do you feel better?
Yes.
Sleep for a while.
It was really so hard to find you guys.
We agreed to go down the tomb together, so how come you disappeared midway?
Are you stupid? You're the one who failed to master your craft; hence, lost us.
You're even blaming us?
Ba Ye, you better accumulate good karma with your tongue.
You criticize me as not mastering my craft, while my teacher is here.
- I don't have a disciple anymore. - See? Your teacher even said so himself.
Boss, look. I don't know what item they got. Should we—
Although we met here,
Fo Ye, why don't
we be companions hereon? Let's travel together.
Since we're on different paths, we shouldn't work together.
You're still not qualified to travel alongside me.
Er Ye.
- Teacher's Wife? - Fo Ye, don't!
Chen Pi...
Don't hurt your teacher's wife.
Hurt?
Teacher's Wife! Teacher's Wife! You're not dead?
Teacher's Wife, wake up.
Teacher's Wife.
I knew it, you're not dead.
Teacher's Wife, I knew that you were not dead. I knew—
Fo Ye!
Just try following! Just try following me!
Let's quickly leave this place.
Okay. Let's go.

Fo Ye! You are finally out!
From now on, don't let me do the guard duties.
Don't say so much first.
Find a car to take them back to rest.
- Quickly go! - Yes! Yes! Come.
Fo Ye, Ya Tou—
I also can't explain this for now.
The situation is very complicated. Anyway, this mine mountain is very dangerous.
