[Episode 40]
Prince of the Third Rank, who angered you?
I'm so mad!
Say, that Lu Jianxun, I must find a chance to teach him a good lesson!
There are already so many people who went down into the tomb.
Yet, he had to find a Westerner to go down there, too.
If I don't show him my might,
if a tiger doesn't show its fangs, he would think I'm a sickly cat!
Another one went down the tomb?
You said it right!
Now, in that underground tomb, there are four groups of people.
Let me count it for you.
Fo Ye, Er Ye, Chen Pi, and those from the Huo family.
Now, there are additional foreigners.
I think...
it's more lively down there than up here.
Prince of the Third Rank, don't be mad anymore.
Let's just wait for news up here.
If you are bored, then go to the city center and tour around.
Have some fun.
When will you take me to go around?
Prince of the Third Rank, you must be kidding.
We don't even know if my husband is still alive or not. There is no news at all.
I... really am not in the mood for anything.
How about this? I'll go look for that Lu Jianxun
and have him remove all those soldiers outside!
Don't anymore.
Why?
He sent men to guard outside because he isn't confident that he can defeat Qishan.
That's why he wants to make me his hostage.
If we insist that he should withdraw his men, he might develop grievances,
and then put everything on the line when he battles Qishan.
Wouldn't that be worse?
It's still you who thinks more thoroughly.
But you need not worry.
No news is good news.
Moreover, Fo Ye is an amazing being.
He surely can turn any disaster into an auspicious event; turn danger into nothing.
I hope so.

[The Mystic Nine]
Inside Changsha, increase the security of the north and south areas.
- Change the guard duty shifts. No mistakes must be made. Understand? - Yes.
Sir, I told her that you were busy.
You all leave.
Yes!
Officer Lu, you seem very busy lately.
Since that's the case, why don't you just give me the territory of the ancient tomb?
You weren't satisfied sending Chen Pi, and are having to send a foreigner now?
If you don't have the ability, don't monopolize the job.
Head of the Huo House also said that you have sent so many people down there.
And then? Not only were they unable to stop Zhang Qishan, but they also lost him!
Now, you even have the nerve to complain here?
It's normal to have accidents inside an ancient tomb.
Even if it's like that,
Officer Lu, you said you'll give me the territory of Zhang Qishan.
Shouldn't it be our Huo Clan—
Only capable people are worthy to talk territories with me.
I gave you people military help, but nothing happened.
It's your Huo family that's incompetent.
Hence, from now on, I'm not putting any hopes on you.
You're handing the power of the Nine Mystic Families to a foreigner?
At the very least, he can give me what I want.
Officer Lu, you're breaking the bridge after crossing it.
You can't put it that way. For the past days, you and your people have indeed worked hard.
Just rest for a while.
But in the future, I still have use for you.
You have thought about it so thoroughly.
But let me remind you of something.
This is Changsha City! Although our Nine Mystic Families are without a ruler right now,
it's still not up for a foreigner to rule us.
Nine Mystic Families...
Nothing special.
Xinyue.
[Memorial Tablet of Dead Husband Zhang Qishan]
This is impossible.
This meteorite is too strange.
It could actually confuse you to this degree?
No.
I mustn't stay here for one more second. I must find the way out.
I know this place. This is the entrance to the mine.
- We are finally out! - Yes!
We're out!
- Mister, we're back! - Right!
We didn't go back.
Truth and fake. Fake and truth.
This was created by the meteorite.
Then they—
Don't get confused by this illusion.
Remember what I said.
Don't look at things with your eyes.
Use your heart to feel it.
We're out... We're out!
Don't go! This is Luocha Sea City!
What Luocha Sea City?! We're back!
- Teacher's Wife! Teacher's Wife! - No! No!
- No! No! - You can't go! You mustn't go!
- Come back! Come back! All are fake! - We're home!
This...
Mister, what's going on?
Everything has an origin. In everything, there is cause and effect.
Their hearts are full of uneasiness;
hence, they developed fear.
And fear transformed into false images.
Step by step, it blinded their eyes and invaded their souls.
We just need to move with our heart,
and we won't fall into this illusion.
Remove it. Quickly look.
Wasn't I right? This method worked.
Ba Ye, you're great.
But where are we going next?
Close your eyes and do what I say.
One is force (Heaven/creative), second is open (lake/joyous), third is radiance (fire/clinging), fourth is shake (thunder/arousing). (He's mentioning the sides of an eight trigram or bagua)
- This time, we'll walk three steps front then four steps to the left. - Okay.
Go.
- Fo Ye. - Close your eyes and continue walking with me.
Being reborn after becoming doomed. I'm handing my life to you.
Fifth is ground (wind/gentle), sixth is gorge (water/abysmal), seventh is bound (mountain/keeping still), and eighth is field (earth/receptive).
This time, we'll go up five steps and right 7 steps.
Go.
Look. That person sitting there seems to be Fo Ye.
Fo Ye?
It's really him!
Say you. Did you know from the start that everything was just an illusion? Why didn't you tell me?
You knew already where to go, am I right?
You went to chase after Er Ye by yourself and left me behind in this illusion.
If not because of Lieutenant Zhang, if I was just alone in this illusionary world, my heart would have shattered.
And you're just sitting here?! Do you know how I got here?
My brain is about to shut down after these past two days, do you know that?!
I didn't understand anything at all. What were you talking about?
You're still pretending?
We already know!
What is he saying?
Where's Er Ye?
I still can't find him.
I followed his tracks and arrived at the mountain cave. I only found those characters written in blood.
It kept warning me to wake up.
But I really don't understand
everything that was written there.
I really couldn't understand even one sentence.
Fo Ye, did you once draw a map when we were still in Baiqiao Village?
What map?
I was severely ill at that time. How could I still have the energy to draw?
Then, what's that map all about?
Luocha Sea City. This world was created based on our thoughts.
We could never go to a place that we've never been to.
The reason Fo Ye was able to draw a map of this place
is because you've been here, but you just forgot about it.
Since you already know the order of things around here,
you surely can think of a way to go out.
This, I must give some thought first.
How are we going to find Er Ye then?
Since Er Ye was able to leave warnings,
it means he has long fully grasped the mysteries inside here.
He just doesn't know how to go out.
I'm guessing that Er Ye is now trapped inside the mess created by his heart demon.
There's no other way.
We can only go against nature's law
and destroy this whole Luocha Sea City.
- This way, we can go out. - Okay.
But we must be very careful in moving any statue.
Just one mistake,
can lead to unimaginable consequences.
It's possible that we'll forever get trapped in this world created by the meteorite.
Unable to get out.
Ba Ye, I trust you.
I'll have you foretell my future once we get out.
I still won't do it even if we get out.
You two follow my position
and steps later.
Okay.
Locate the position of Heaven and Earth first. Mountain forms the lake which evaporates to form the clouds.
Thunder and wind are mutually intimate, while fire and water are antagonistic but mutually complementary.
The eight trigrams are connected with each other.
This time, we'll move the left by 2 steps and the right by 7 steps.
Heaven is above, Earth is below. Force is south and field is north.
North and south face each other, up and down are the opposite of each other.
Shaking, being the thunder, is located on the northeast.
Ground, like the wind, resides on the southwest.
They are mutually close, but also compel each other.
Thunder is fast, that's why wind is fierce.
Wind is excited, that's why the thunder is rapid.
Radiance as the sun, it resided in the east.
Gorge as the moon, it's on the west.
Er Ye?
Er Ye!
Fo Ye! In this world, we can't act rashly.
The Er Ye you can see is something you can see but can't touch.
Even if you run toward him, you can't approach him.
Once we lost our way in here,
we will fall into an illusion that we created ourselves, just like Er Ye.
Let's just quickly return the statues to where they should be.
Let's go.
Fo Ye, don't be too worried.
Er Ye is currently just lost in his own illusion. He won't be in danger.
Er Ye loved Ya Tou too much.
Ya Tou is his heart demon.
Zhang Qishan!
You killed my teacher's wife and are now saying bad things about her.
I want you to pay with your life.
Don't worry. Chen Pi is just an illusion. It'll be fine.
Did you think about him?
Why would I?
This isn't right.
In this Luocha Sea City created by this meteorite world, other than us being real,
everything else was created by our thoughts.
If no one thought of him, why would he come out?
Have you forgotten? It's because Er Ye thought of him before
that's why he appeared.
Could it be Fo Ye who thought of him?
Fo Ye, Chen Pi seems to have disappeared.
Be on guard.
Sirs, it was so hard to find you.
We agreed to go down the tomb together. How come you all disappeared midway?
Weird. How come it's so hard to defeat Chen Pi?
He was created by our thoughts.
Technically speaking, we already know that everything is just an illusion.
He should have frozen and stopped moving.
That's right. When we were inside the illusion and discovered that everything was just an illusion, everything stopped moving.
That's right.
Oh, no! He's real! Chen Pi has entered the meteorite cave, too.
Don't come near! Quickly move the statues to their right positions!
Okay! Okay! Fo Ye, don't rush me!
Bound as the mountain and is located in the northwest. Open as the river and is in the southeast.
The vapor of the lake encompasses the mountain. It can be part of the mountain or of the rain.
The mountain's vapor is connected with that of the lake. When it rains, it becomes water and spring.
Return it to its original place! This one! This one!
Hurry up! Use your energy when you drink milk!
Fo Ye, be careful! Don't fall into the dense fog!
If you do, you'll never come out!
Fo Ye!
- Fo Ye, are you all right? - I'm fine.
That was really scary. Good thing, you didn't fall into that dense fog.
Or else, you really wouldn't be able to come out.
Chen Pi now will be falling into his heart demon's illusion. He has enough to suffer through.
You're so useless.
You're actually afraid of the nine-claw hook?
Chen Pi, you're so stupid. You are catching crabs bare-handed?
You're too slow. All the crabs here have been caught by us.
Let's go. The monger is here. Let's go.
Wait! Wait!
Me, too.
Let me see.
Your crab's foot is broken. It's mutilated and worth nothing.
Please help out. I just caught these. They're very good.
Among these, which hasn't been caught just now?
Please. Please. Be kind.
Forget it. In consideration of you being an orphan, I'll do a good deed.
- I'll give you four coins. - Are you joking?
For so many crabs, you're only giving that much?
Take it or leave it. If not for me coming to this impoverished place
and collecting these fresh catches, you all here would starve to death!
Let's go.
Wait a minute!
Here.
Chen Pi, you're back.
I cooked you something delicious today.
Come, sit down. I'll go get it.
Look. We have crabs to eat.
How could these crab legs be counted as crabs?
Child, crab legs are still crabs.
Do you know that I especially picked these for you in the market this morning.
I told you not to go out! I can earn money by myself!
Grandma, do you know that just because the crabs I caught today lacked a few legs,
that monger kept lowering the price!
Chen Pi! Chen Pi!
Ya Tou!
[Hong Manor]
Ya Tou!
Brother.
Brother, I'm here.
Ya Tou.
You're pregnant already so why are you still running about.
I'm not that delicate.
I saw that the weather was quite good today,
so I took the bed curtains out and aired them.
I think these bed curtains should be replaced.
You especially searched for them.
In the future, I still planned to pass them to our child.
So big! Not bad.
I also think they're good. I want 10 coins.
- 10 coins?! - Take it or leave it.
Let me tell you that so many people want to buy my crabs.
Okay. Okay. I'll give them to you.
Here. Catch more good ones.
The two fought so intensely. Despite 300 rounds, it was so hard to say who the victor was.
Good! Good!
Yo, little kid, struck gold?
- Give me something exciting. - Sure!
- Please move aside. - So generous.
- I'll tell everyone about the story "Teacher Lin and the Mysterious Temple during Snowy Weather." - This one's good!
They say that when Lin Chong was walking in the streets that day,
he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. When he looked back,
it was Li Xiaoer of Jiusheng'er.
Back in Dongjing, Teacher Liu once helped him.
He got caught stealing from his shop owner.
- And then— - This story isn't good. Change to another one.
- What do you want to hear? - Another one. Right. Change to another one.
- "Wu Song Hitting the Tiger." - This is a good one!
- Good! Good! A beautiful story! - I'll tell everyone then
the story of "Wu Song Hitting a Tiger." They said that Wu Song was traveling for several days,
but he was still a bit far from the county proper.
He's really happy. Didn't he just have a good catch today?
So what?
Chen Pi, not bad.
An abundant harvest.
Of course. I know how to use the nine-clawed hook to catch crabs, and I can do it very well and fast.
Unlike other people who can catch a lot of crabs,
but will frequently hurt them; hence, unable to sell them at a good price.
- You... who are you describing? - The one who's mad is the one I'm talking about.
- What are you doing?! - Of course, stealing your crabs. Brothers, attack!
After stealing your crabs, let's see if you can still be proud.
- Who told you to brag? - Your crabs are too good that we can't sell ours!
- Why blame me if you can't catch good crabs? - You still dare to talk? It's all your fault!
You are bullying me because you outnumber me!
So what if we bully you? A bastard without parents!
- Say that again! - So what if we call you that? You are indeed a bastard! A child without parents!
- Bastard! Bastard! - Don't call me that!
Hit him! Hit him to death! Hit him! Bastard!
Hit him! Hit him!
Chen Pi! Chen Pi!
Miss, did you see my grandson, Chen Pi? He's quite thin.
- I didn't see him. - Oh, you didn't?
He's just this tall. You didn't see him?
No.
Thanks.
Chen Pi! Chen Pi!
Chen Pi!
- Chen Pi, where are you? - Everyone just saw a flash of lightning in the sky.
- Chen Pi! - Then, a big, dark guy without arms fell onto the ground.
And then, he raised his ax and two assassins fell to the ground in response.
Good! Good!
Then, he rushed toward Cai Jiu to kill him.
A group of soldiers rushed to stop him.
One can only see a dozen soldiers lying under his ax.
Cai Jiu realized that things weren't looking good. He then ran toward the docks to escape.
Black Tornado Li Kui didn't care who he was fighting with anymore.
He just charged up there and started killing anyone he saw!
Good! Good!
Chen Pi, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Are you talking about Black Tornado Li Kui?
Right.
He's so awesome. He can really kill.
Li Kui has the temperament of a killer.
Just a minor argument, he would get mad and kill people.
Isn't that so pleasurable?
Chen Pi! Chen Pi, you're back!
You... What's wrong? What happened?
Nothing.
Chen Pi, don't lie to me. On you...
Did you get into a fight?
Impossible. Fighting... won't lead to this.
You...
Take this. You can't stay on this island anymore.
Quickly leave. If you get caught by them, you're done for.
Grandma, it was them who said that I didn't have parents.
It was them who bullied me first.
I know. I know.
Good child, it was hard on you.
Sit first.
Come.
Here.
Look. I steamed this for you.
Don't you love eating crabs?
But I'm useless. I could only give you crab legs.
This time, really great. I was able to get a whole crab.
Come, quickly eat.
Drink some water.
Grandma, only you are good to me.
Only you sincerely love me.
Child,
in the future, it will only be you.
You must live well.
After leaving, don't return.
Grandma,
leave with me.
No. I've lived here all my life.
I won't go anywhere. You go.
Child, I know that you're a good child.
It's just that no one is disciplining and teaching you.
That's why you walked the wrong path.
I wronged you.
Grandma, it's me who didn't take good care of you.
I'm already old. I won't be able to take care of you for long.
It's good that you leave earlier.
Grandma! Leave with me!
I won't go anywhere.
It's good as long as you can live well.
From now on, don't do stupid things again.
Remember. You must not do stupid things again!
Quickly leave! If they come, you can't leave anymore!
Come, quickly go. Quickly go.
Grandma, I'm leaving.
You must take good care of yourself from now on.
Hurry. Hurry and get up. Quickly leave.
Quickly go! Go!
Go...
A glimpse to his heart. Since it's a heart demon, then it's the hardest thing to resolve.
Chen Pi has a sinister natural temperament,
but his story is quite pitiful and tragic, too.
Since he arrived at Changsha,
he lived the life of a thief. He never killed again.
Er Ye never knew that he had this kind of past.
People in our field can never say that their hands are clean,
but a person like him who is so bloodthirsty and ruthless is really rare.
Right.
His wild ambition is too big. He can't be allowed to live.
Chen Pi is fated with Er Ye.
Let us let Er Ye decide what should be done with him.
Fo Ye, we've wasted a lot of time because of Chen Pi.
Let's quickly return these statues to their proper places.
Let's go.
The last statue. After we move it back to its rightful position, we can safely get out.
What sound is that?
It sounds like beasts.
But based on the sound, they seemed far from us.
Fo Ye, don't bother with it anymore. Quickly move the statue.
Okay.
Fo Ye, exert more force!
Fo Ye!
Fo Ye, what's wrong? Are you all right?
I don't know why but I couldn't exert any force.
You were affected by that sound and almost fell into an illusion.
I seem to have heard that sound before.
Fo Ye, you are the great Zhang Fo Ye. You aren't scared of anything.
You can't let a sound confuse your heart. If you trust me,
don't ask me why and just close your eyes.
Stabilize your mind. I will teach you a trick.
Everything in this world has an order of existence and will disappear like dreams, illusions and soap bubbles,
like dew and the flash of lightning. You should think of it this way.
- You remember? - Yes.
- Lieutenant Zhang, quickly move the statue back to its proper place. - Yes.
Hurry! Come!
The formation of an abnormal creature is an inauspicious sign.
I don't know how Er Ye who is immersed in his illusion is doing.
And that Chen Pi. I fear that the two of them are in danger right now.
Ba Ye, push!
♫ In last night's dream, I went again to the opera stage and put on new clothes and powder ♫
♫ Another round of old songs ♫
♫ Stepping into the classical prison through the northern snow ♫
♫ The sprinkled salt swirl in the air, confusing the dawn ♫
♫ The hairpin of the brothel woman looks a lot like that of an old friend ♫
♫ When the full moon bids goodbye, there was never a full gather again ♫
♫ The swallow in the hall is holding new earth in his mouth again ♫
♫ The lonely sound reverberates around the rafters of Cui Jiu's mansion ♫

♫ Behind me are barn lanterns of prison; my old friend, you are my home ♫
