[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 43]
I've already chosen a young generation of our Huo Clan. From now on, she will take over my position.
In a few years, she can handle matters on her own and protect the Huo Clan.
Fo Ye, my niece is still young. I hope you can assist her.
Of course. Don't worry.
Thanks.
The commander of the Mystic Nine Families is always together with darkness. He frequently has to wander in the boundary of life and death.
But the circumstances are pressing on us. There are conflicts either above or underground.
Great change has happened in our country, in Changsha City, and within our Mystic Nine Families.
No one can predict what else will happen in the future.
Today, the members of the Mystic Nine Families have gathered. I hope that
I can lead everyone in protecting our Changsha,
protecting our country. Also, our Mystic Nine Families.
♫ The era of surviving amidst war ♫
♫ Unable to avoid the rivalries ♫
♫ In this big world, everyone, let's worship together ♫
♫ Life and death are destined, you can't do anything about it ♫
♫ Leaving when you still haven't done anything yet ♫
♫ You're here, I'm here, let's fight to have a future ♫
♫ Get up, get up ♫
♫ Get up, get up, upsurge of burning passion ♫

♫ In a spurt of energy, preparing to give it all in this counterattack ♫
♫ Even if I have to abandon myself ♫

♫ Who are we? A group of people who gets stronger as they meet someone stronger ♫
♫ No matter how exhausted we are ♫

[The Mystic Nine]
So sorry. I've let you wait for so long.
Come. Please taste it.
These... were all made by you?
Of course. Let me tell you that cooking is way harder than fighting a war.
That cooking knife is easy to use, but all other equipment stumped me.
But don't worry. A lot of people taught me to do these dishes.
You're not lying to me, right?
I'm not. Try it.
Eat some.
Eat some, okay?
Are you all right?
Taste it first.
How is it? Is it tasty?
That's good then.
Delicious.
How come you suddenly thought of cooking for me?
It's because you've been in my Zhang manor for so long, but I haven't done anything for you.
Hence, I thought of cooking you a meal to make up for it.
Zhang Qishan, are you sick?
- What sickness can I have? - How come you're suddenly good to me?
Do you have something to tell me?
Actually, ever since, you have been putting yourself in danger just for me
and risking your life. I do see them all. Also, you already know about the ancient tower of my Zhang family.
You-- Are you still planning to drive me away?
What... are you doing?
Can you marry me?
What did you say?
Can you marry me?
You... stop making jokes with me.
I'm not.
I want to say...
Since the first time I saw you,
I... almost would think of you every day.
You also know that I'm not good with words.
But since I met you, a lot changed about me.
I sincerely hope that I can spend the remainder of my life
with you; hence, I hope that you can marry me.
Is everything that you said sincere words?
Yes.
You're really willing to marry me?
I am.
You won't regret it?
I won't.
You're willing to marry me?
I am.
No matter what happens in the future,
I will always be by your side guarding and protecting you.
I've waited for this day for so long!
This way.
Put that over there.
That one over there.
You two, check the flowers, dining sets, and wine glasses again.
Fo Ye, your alcohol tolerance is bad.
With you being this drunk, won't your bride scold you once she sees you?
If I don't pretend to be drunk, you think my subordinates
would give up the chance to get me drunk? What were you two doing earlier? Why weren't you blocking the drinks for me?
Fo Ye, every moment of the wedding night is worth thousands of gold. Don't miss out on the auspicious hour.
- Wait for me to come out and each must drink two jars of wine. All must drink. - Okay.
Fo Ye, no rush for that. But Madam might be getting anxious now.
You've gotten bolder. You dare to make jokes with me now.
I dare not...
Fo Ye, go!
That... Why didn't Er Ye send me to my marriage chamber?
You also know his personality. He doesn't want to recall some past events.
Hence, he has gone back first.
It hurts! It hurts! Lighter!
During the wedding night, you pointed a gun to your husband.
This can't be a rule of the Xinyue Hotel, right?
Not bad. We'll add this rule in our Xinyue Hotel.
Since I married a military man, I should know to use a gun. Or else, I would lose face.
No need to use a gun. It's enough to guard by your husband.
Let's sleep.
Worth it.
Worth what?
Using three lanterns in Xinyue Hotel in exchange for you
was very worth it.
Of course! You lighted the largest lantern in the world and deceived me into marrying you.
Say, I'm yours, and Xinyue Hotel is yours.
You've taken huge advantage.
Talk! Do you love me or not?
Didn't you ask me this question yesterday?
Then... when did you start loving me?
Hurry and say it!
Do you still remember when you started calling me husband?
Husband, save me!
- Save me, husband! Let go! - Move!
Let her go!
You even know to call your husband now, is that it?
Your husband will then accompany you for some fun.
Husband, save me!
Are you all right?
It was also at that time that I wholeheartedly acknowledged
you as my husband.
Okay.
Let me tell you that guns aren't held like that.
Be careful. Let's place it properly.
Hey.
Light.
- The light. - What light?
The light is still on.
Today is the wedding day of Fo Ye and his wife.
You really liked Madam.
You must be very happy.
Do you still remember when we first met her?
It was inside the train.
That time, you still...
If not because we helped you get the medicines,
Fo Ye and Madam wouldn't be together.
How come you, the matchmaker,
aren't here today?

Still not sleeping at this late of night, what are you thinking?
I feel that...
the current bliss is too unreal.
How could that be? Aren't you hugging a live-and-kicking, great Zhang Fo Ye?
I haven't married enough.
Let's wed again once we go back to Xinyue Hotel.
- Really? - Yes.
- Let's get married once more then. - Okay.
- When we go back to Beiping, we'll marry again. - Yes.
Is that okay?
Everything returned to calmness. After one year,
a weird parasitic infection
started to spread on the outskirt of Changsha.
Did you ignore this wound before? The infection has spread deep in your skin.
Thank you, Doctor.
It's also my first time seeing your illness. How come it's recurrent?
Fine then.
- I'll look for a huge hospital in Changsha tomorrow and have it tested. - No...
Come with me, okay?
[Clinic of Kang Village]
Where is he?
Remember to come home early. You've been so busy lately.
It's so boring to stay at home alone every day.
If you're bored, then go out and walk around.
But remember to bring the Hearing Servants and Baton-Holding Guards.
The city is a bit disordered lately. Safety first.
Don't be so exaggerated.
Don't get too careless. It may look peaceful,
but in reality, it's quite chaotic.
Yes.
[Hong Manor]
Tongue.
It's a bit inflamed. I'll tell someone to make you prunella to drink and you'll be all right.
- Also... - Stop drinking. Don't eat meat.
It's good that you know.
How's the examination?
Nothing. Still his old illnesses.
Can you stop going to that kind of place to drink? It's so bad for your health.
Fo Ye and I will worry.
Moreover, Mo Ce is doing her best to nurse your health.
Can you be more cooperative?
Er Ye, health is most important.
I'm a very idle person. If I don't go to that kind of place to waste my time away, where will I go?
Can't you behave and just stay at home?
I entered your kitchen earlier to cook. Upon entering...
It's so messy that I don't want to describe it any more.
I think you don't lack anything, other than a wife that can manage your house.
Oh? You cooked at my house?
Right.
- You have something to do in the hospital later? - None.
- Stay behind to eat lunch. - Okay.
Just right. I made your favorite vinegar meat and lotus strips.
You two slowly eat them together.
Just me and Er Ye?
Right. I still have to look for your brother-in-law. You two
slowly eat them while chatting.
Here. Eat some vegetables.
Thanks.
Sister-in-Law's cooking skills are getting better.
You're right. My cousin used to be such a tomboy.
Who knew that she knows how to cook?
Oh, right, Dr. Mo.
You have been in Changsha for a year already, right?
Right.
Beiping is so far from Changsha.
Are your parents at ease that you're here?
We are a big family, and I'm a girl.
My parents aren't that strict with me.
Also, while studying abroad for two years, I can already take care of myself.
Furthermore, isn't my cousin and her husband here, too?
Right, Er Ye, the decorations of your house are quite unique.
Especially those fresh flowers. It's rare for people to change them every day.
Oh...
My deceased wife made this rule.
She loved to have fresh flowers in her room.
She said she's happy when she sees them.
But the bed curtain in your room
looks quite old. Why don't you change them?
That bed curtain was my gift to her.
She then brought it here as her dowry.
The curtain has been hanged there since we got married. I never changed it.
I will wash it when it's dirty.
After a while, I'm used to it.
Sorry, Er Ye. I didn't intend to mention the past.
It's fine. Here.
Thanks.
Er Ye, you do know that illnesses can come from what you eat. Right?
I can see that your chopsticks are quite old.
How about I buy you a new pair tomorrow?
No need.
Ya Tou gifted these to me.
I'm used to them.
Er Ye, no need to send me off. If you feel unwell,
immediately send someone to call me. I'll come right away.
Thank you.
Er Ye,
do you really plan to live the rest of your life alone like this?
I've promised someone something.
Since I promised it, I must do it.
Then, is this matter
really that important?
Its importance depends on individual opinion.
Then, I'll get going.
Take care.

What Mr. Hendry Cox found out
is very important on how we'll plan our next move.
Use all means to save him.
I must know what happened down there.
Miss Tanaka, don't worry. The doctor was here.
He said Mr. Cox is getting better and better.
That's good.
No. No.
What did you say?
Meteorite...
- Meteorite... - What about the meteorite?
Meteorite... No!
- No! - Meteorite?
Dr. Mo. Come, please sit down.
Chief Li.
Regarding the reports sent by the village hospital about the parasite,
- do you know about it? - Oh, this matter.
I know. Why? The test report is out?
Please look.
This report shows that there's nothing special about this infection.
There's indeed nothing wrong noted. This illness keeps recurring.
I feel that we shouldn't just test the parasite.
Chief Li, can you make a request to the higher-ups
to send some more men? I want to go to the village and investigate further.
Dr. Mo, I know that you have the desire to practice medicine to help the public.
It's just that you should look at the situation, too.
Currently, we are in turbulent times. The hospital is full of patients.
How can we have extra men meddle in such leisurely affairs?
This isn't a leisurely affair.
It's exactly because we are in turbulent times, that's why strange and hard to cure diseases like this are very suspicious.
I don't need many people. Just three.
Send an internal medicine doctor, a surgeon, and then me.
Surgeon?
Do you know how short we are in surgeons?
There's not even enough to examine the ordinary citizens.
Dr. Mo, we must weigh things properly.
Stop paying attention to trivial matters.
- Chief Li, I— - Hey, Dr. Mo,
you came from Beiping.
In terms of professionalism, I believe your skills.
But you're not familiar with the situation of Changsha.
These so-called pictures
and documents might be fake.
You've been a doctor for so many years.
It's not that serious to have parasites in one's body.
I think it might be just a man
refusing to join the army; hence, making up such a farce
and letting others see it.
Don't get involved anymore.
This is not blindly getting involved. What if it's really a strange and hard-to-cure disease?
If we ignore it, isn't that trampling on human lives?
Dr. Mo,
say no more.
I won't permit other doctors to be involved in this.
You are on your own.
I still have to attend to so many things. You can go.
- Chief. - Dr. Mo.
- You are... - These unbased claims can't be leaked.
If the ignorant citizens know about it, I don't know what panic it can cause.
Nothing must happen to Changsha anymore.
I'll keep these files for now. Go.
Chief, I will surely investigate it well.
If it's really a strange and hard-to-cure disease, I will personally explain things to our higher-ups.
You...!
Okay. If you want to be meddlesome,
I can't control you.
You're on your own.
[Kang Village]
[Kang Village Clinic]
Is anyone home?
I'm a doctor from Changsha Hospital.
Is anyone around?
Who are you?
I knocked earlier, but you didn't respond, so I came in.
- What is it? - I'm a doctor from Changsha Hospital. My name is Mo Ce.
From Changsha? Who sent you? Which hospital?
The hospital is very busy right now and we lack personnel. My chief initially didn't want to send anyone.
But after seeing the photos you sent,
I'm a bit uneasy, so I personally came.
Oh...
Our reports showed that there was no problem, so I want to see that patient.
See if I can find anything wrong with him.
So, it's like that. You doctors are really very dedicated to your job.
You even personally come here.
Now, the climate is changing. There are more and more people getting sick. We don't want new epidemics coming out.
- I'm just doing what a doctor should do. - Fine then.
Come with me to their house to check. That farmer hasn't come out of his house for several days because he's recuperating.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Come. Slowly.
Er Niu!
A doctor from Changsha is here to see you!
I'm going in.
Er Niu, a doctor is here to see you.
Er Niu.
Mr. Cox,
- how is your recovery. - It's fine.
Your complexion still doesn't look too good.
I'm all right.
How are things in Hei Qiao Village?
Thank you for your guidance. We're just a step from success.
Lately, I...
have been thinking about this matter.
This is a major matter. No mistake must occur.
We still need someone who is resolute in killing to help us.
What you said is right.
But Lu Jianxun is dead.
Chen Pi is also missing.
There are not many people that can be used here in Changsha City.
Chen Pi.
He's a good choice.
Mister, do you remember that Chen Pi came here for you when you were severely ill and unconscious?
He even almost killed you.
Tell me! Is everything inside the mining mountain real?
I don't know anything!
If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!
I have some impression.
It seems that time, I was indeed in a very dangerous situation.
Good thing, I came in time. Or else, Chen Pi would have killed you.
Hence, Mister, what did you and Chen Pi
really see inside the underground tomb?
Mister, I just got intel that someone saw Chen Pi.
Good. This is a good thing.
Heaven is helping me. You must find him quickly.
With him, our plan
can proceed more reliably.
Mister, I've already given the command.
Once I've confirmed it's Chen Pi, I will personally bring him to you.
This matter is very important.
I must personally go see it before I can be at ease.
Mister, you just recovered from a serious illness. Your health is more important.
Just leave this matter to us. I guarantee that there's no problem.

- Brother! - Yes, coming!
Brother, you're back. Rest for a while. You've been busy all day.
It's fine. I'm not tired.
It's a bit chaotic outside. It's better to do more now.
It's turbulent times. It's hard to live everywhere.
Say, for a huge place like Changsha,
it's also very unpeaceful. Only in small places like ours can you still have some peaceful days.
I even heard from others that it's very tumultuous outside.
A lot of people have no food or drinks.
They couldn't get by anymore. What kind of world is this?
You should stop listening to this nonsense, or you'll scare yourself to death first.
Moreover, our area is very remote
and it isn't some huge city. The war won't spread here.
- Really? - Even if it becomes mayhem, no fear. You have me.
I will protect you.
♫ 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 ♫
♫ You said that Jiangnan has mist-like drizzling rain ♫
♫ Now, there is someone making offerings to Heaven in the wilderness beyond the great wall ♫
♫ Who's going to care for the new tomb out in the wilderness ♫
♫ The official has already raised his pen ♫
♫ That year of red snow and blue winter, my red sleeves got wet ♫
♫ Lord, do you still remember the seventh day of the burial of an old friend in the new house ♫
♫ An old friend returns drunk and in a haze to lightly sigh 'I love you' ♫
♫ Does lord still remember how the iron-like general sobbed like a child ♫
♫ A man immerses his loyal bones in the sand, wears his golden armor to conquer the the ends of the earth ♫
♫ Behind me are barn lanterns of prison; my old friend, you are my home ♫
♫ Clear sky then mild drizzle, rain falls on the steps; the umbrellas paired with green clothes looked like a painting ♫
♫ New snow on the 28th of midwinter, paying you back for the bluestone and black earthenware ♫
♫ You said to exchange the golden armor with the fire beacon offering where chrysanthemums are planted in our hometown ♫
♫ The Liyuan Opera during Chang'an's peaceful times has red wine on stage ♫
♫ Before parting after getting drunk, the general asks for another song, and the singer indulges him ♫
♫ I fear that this is just a dream; Lord, farewell from now on ♫
♫ Watching my friend's last performance ♫
♫ A simple make-up is most befitting ♫
♫ I fear that I'm disillusioned with the ending song ♫
♫ Lord, farewell from now on ♫
♫ That year of red snow and blue winter, my red sleeves got wet ♫
♫ Lord, do you still remember the seventh day of the burial of an old friend in the new house ♫
♫ An old friend returns drunk and in a haze to lightly sigh 'I love you' ♫
♫ Does lord still remember who's the person that covered your clothes while you were drunk ♫
