[Episode 47]
Er Ye.
Fo Ye, where are we?
It must be the Heiqiao people who locked us in here.
Great Zhang Fo Ye, did you sleep well in the dungeon?
Evil creature!
Teacher, you are the one who insisted on helping Zhang Qishan, our enemy who caused the death of Teacher's Wife.
- Don't blame me for being ruthless. - You are being used by other people, yet you are still unrepentant!
- You should take care of yourselves first. - We're going to die soon!
- Save us! - What should we do?
What's all that noise about? Keep quiet!
Guard! I want some wine!
Wine? I want to drink it myself, too!
I'm going to die soon. Can't I even have a sip of wine?
Well, anyway, all the money I have with me now is useless.
Can't I even exchange it for a sip of wine?
Money? What money?
You want some wine, right? I can buy it for you!

[The Mystic Nine]
I had wanted to offer all of you to Heaven during the ceremony.
Looks to me that you all want to die even sooner. Good.
Let's go in and take a look.
This doesn't look like an ordinary karst topography landscape.
These are the scripts of the Qiao people.
What's written here says that
in ancient times, a meteorite fell into this place.
A meteorite?
It's probably the same meteorite we are looking for.
We made it out!
Sir, you could even kill such a ferocious beast!
- You are truly the living Buddha descended into the world! - Yes! - That's right!
- Thank you, living Buddha! Thank you! - Please get up.
- Leave quickly. - Thank you, Sirs! Let's quickly go.
- Thank you! - Let's go!
Fo Ye, do you still remember those last words which Chen Pi said?
The ceremony which he mentioned, it's probably about developing the virus. Right?
Just now, we were attacked near the altar.
I believe the place where they are developing the virus must be nearby.
Let's go!
Er Ye, don't touch it!
- I'm afraid those things inside are poisonous! - Poisonous?
Let's go look inside! See if there's anyone in there!
- Fo Ye, we definitely can't leave these things here. - Why?
I have my reasons. I ask Fo Ye
to please help me.
Go!
Boss, there's no one around.
They have not gone too far.
Where are they?
Boss, there're footprints here!
Boss, there're some here as well!
Er Yuehong is light as a swallow. It's impossible that he left footprints.
But Zhang Qishan doesn't not have this capability.
- We'll split up to look for them! - Yes!
Wait a moment!
If they fled in a hurry and carelessly left footprints,
why would they coincidentally leave behind just one iron marble, too?
Follow the direction of the footprints and search in full force!
- Go up to the mountain! - Yes!
Let's go.
I was almost tricked by you!
I never expected that not only are you cruel by nature, you are also a shameless person.
Great Zhang Fo Ye, you caused my Teacher's Wife's death and had me thrown into the prison as well.
At that time, you did not even consider a single bit of affection.
Chen Pi, if Ya Tou knew about all these in the netherworld, how could she not be disappointed with you?
My Teacher's Wife is already dead. Don't use her to persuade me anymore!
Furthermore, Changsha had never been my hometown.
Now, all the people in Changsha City think I am a sinner who is wicked beyond redemption.
Even if all of them are dead,
I don't care even a single bit!
When you wandered into Changsha and became my disciple,
I taught you everything that I knew.
I never expected you to turn out this way.
As your teacher, I had not taught you well.
Even if you regret it, it's too late now. Meet your death!
- Boss! - Evil disciple!
Today, I'm going to clean up my portal!
Where did this bun pin come from?
Why is it exactly the same as the one I gave to Teacher's Wife those years ago?
What? This item...
was given by you to Er Ye's wife?
- So what if it is? - There's poison on this bun pin.
Exceedingly shady and poisonous.
- If Madam had touched it those years ago, it's very likely she got infected by it. - Fo Ye.
There's poison on this bun pin?
No wonder the condition of Madam's illness was bizarre then, and nothing could heal her.
It all started because of this object. You kept saying you respect and love your Teacher's Wife. At the end of it all,
you're the one who caused her death. Isn't it so?
No. No! Zhang Qishan,
do you think I'll be fooled by these nonsensical words of yours?
Attack!
Brothers, go!
We should be safe here. Thank you for your help.
We'll definitely repay you when we have the chance in the future.
- Sir, you are too courteous. - That's right.
When we were in the dungeon, both of you saved our lives.
Now that you are in danger, how could we just look from the side and not help?
- Yes. - That's right.
Why did all of you turn up here?
Our situation now is that we can't return to our home even if we had one.
Why do you say so? And why were all of you imprisoned in the dungeon?
I'll tell you the truth. All of us are fishermen from Dongting Lake.
From the time those wicked Japanese sealed off the lake, our livelihood was also cut off.
Later, Cuicui's dad accidentally discovered
the treasures behind the ice bunker where we kept our fish.
We secretly sneaked inside to look for treasures.
- We never expected that-- - Never expected that the Japanese and Heiqiao Village
started a massacre, and killed many fishermen!
The remaining ones among us were locked up in the dungeon.
Fortunately, we were saved by both of you!
- That's right! - Now, our houses are all destroyed!
We had no other choice but to hide in the forest.
Our only hope is that these beasts would leave this place quickly!
Is that Cuicui you mentioned a young girl?
You know her?
I remember it now. That day, when the Japanese were killing the fishermen
near the ice bunker, I think both of you were there, too.
And you were also surrounded, right?
The two of you could beat them despite your small number, and even fought with so many evil men.
I believe both of you must be men of incredible abilities!
I am Defense Commander of Changsha City, Zhang Qishan.
Oh my, Zhang Fo Ye!
The Japanese joined hands with people from Heiqiao Village to kill all of you.
- I definitely won't sit and ignore the matter. - Thank you, Fo Ye...
- This is great! - Right! - Although the few of us had never served in the military,
we've weathered the storms to hunt and fish for so many years. At the very least, we also have some martial arts skills.
As long as you need us, we will definitely do our part!
That's right. And we are also very familiar with the surrounding mountain and its topography.
Let's join our hearts together in this endeavor. We can't allow the Han traitors and the Japanese to get away with what they are doing!
Right! Right! What you said is right!
Sir, I know the way out of this place. Follow me!
- Let's go! Follow me! - Let's go!
Why didn't you allow me to tell Chen Pi about the bun pin?
Ya Tou has always cared about Chen Pi.
I think what I'm doing is also what Ya Tou had wanted.
Let's go.
- Everyone, hurry! - Okay! - We have to make it on time to the market.
Quickly! Quickly!
All of you, do it quickly!
- Hey! - Huh?
Have you seen this bun pin before?
Bun pin? Let me have a look at it.
What's wrong?
I've seen this thing before. If my memory is right,
it should be one of the objects from the first batch of goods that were salvaged.
When was that time? Where was the first batch salvaged from?
Where else could it be? Of course, from that sunken boat!
- What did you say? - At that time, our aim was to salvage those poisonous insects from the sunken boat.
The objects were not important, so we sold them to a merchant from the black market.
That batch of bun pins was also salvaged from the poisoned boat.
They've long been corroded and contained lethal poison.
This bun pin has been broken a long time.
Please remember to be very careful. Should you cut your skin with it,
the virus will enter your body through the wound!
We won't be able to save you then!
Everyone, quickly!
Come, follow me! We'll go to the market and sell these for money!
We'll be rich!
What's wrong, Chen Pi?
What have you done again that angered your teacher?
Say, how old are you now? Why do you still behave like a child?
Why are you throwing a temper like a child?
What is this?
I bought it from the black market.
It looked pretty, and I wanted to gift it to you.
But Teacher found out about it.
He said things bought from the black market are from unknown sources. He said I broke the rules.
He did not allow me to gift it to you. He even broke it!
I don't understand those rules of yours.
But Er Ye naturally has his own reasons for saying those things.
Why must you break those rules?
- Teacher's Wife, why are you speaking to me in this manner, too? - I...
What lousy rules? What unknown sources?
Even if it was dug from some graves, so what about it?
In our manor, there are so many things that came from unknown sources!
Obviously, Teacher is trying to make things difficult for me!
Your teacher treats you so well. Why are you going against him?
Teacher's Wife!
I'm all right. It's just a small cut, that's all.
Okay. Actually, I think this bun pin is quite pretty.
After it's repaired, I'll wear it. Okay?
Okay, it's just a small wound. I'll bandage it once I get back.
Teacher's Wife was infected with
the serious illness from that time.
As it turned out,
it was actually me.
I was the one who caused Teacher's Wife's death with my own hands!
Hurry! Fo Ye is still waiting for us.
Ya Tou.
She's already dead.
Then, what about those Japanese?
Dead as well.
The only one left is Zhang Qishan.
What did you say?
If I kill Zhang Qishan, I would have avenged for Teacher's Wife's death!
Chen Pi!
You better know to appreciate what's good for you! Fo Ye is the one saving you right now.
Do you know that you've been poisoned? If not for Fo Ye,
you'd have died a long time ago!
Didn't Fo Ye say that
if I can't be saved, you are to send me along the way?
I don't need him to put on a hypocritical show of affection. So what if he saves me?
- So what if he can't save me? - If he can't save you,
you'll have to die!
Die? I'll die then.
Have I not become a source of poison now?
Then, I'll let all of you die with me!
I want all those who hurt my Teacher's Wife to pay the price for it!
Stop the truck!
[Changsha City]
Fo Ye!
Chen Pi jumped from the truck and escaped!
At which place did he escape?
About ten miles outside the city. He knows that he is the source of the poison.
He wants those who hurt his Teacher's Wife to pay the price for it.
Pass my orders down.
I'm imposing curfews on all the city gates. We can't allow Chen Pi to step foot into Changsha City.
Should we send out a warrant of arrest for him?
Okay.
Most importantly, we can't allow him to step into Changsha City.
Put up roadblocks on all the roads from within three miles outside of the city.
Yes. I'll do it immediately.
Oh right. Get Ba Ye to come over here.
He has done some research on the concocting of poison. Perhaps he might be able to think of something.
Yes.
Er Ye, please have a seat.
Chen Pi will definitely know that I'll impose a curfew.
So, in the short term, he will not enter the city.
Based on Chen Pi's character,
he's probably hiding in the tombs or the caves.
There are so many tombs and caves around this area. How are we going to find him?
Why must you use people to search for him?
What Sister-in-Law said is absolutely correct.
Both Fo Ye and I have overlooked this. Why must we search for him using people?
Why didn't you tell me you were back? Let me look at you. Are you injured anywhere?
Look all you want.
Don't worry. I'm not injured at all.
Fo Ye, do you think Little Wu's dog can help us?
Right. I'll listen to you. We'll borrow the dog from Little Wu.
You've just returned, and you're going out again?
Then, are you coming back tonight?
I'll come back once my work is done.
Fo Ye, it looks like someone has been staying here.
Come! Come!
- Come, bottoms up! - Bottoms up!
Let's drink together!
I'll do it.
You're back!
- Boss! - Boss!
Boss!
Boss, you're awake!
- Boss. - Don't touch me!
Boss, we have nothing much to eat at home. Please just make do with these.
You're quite considerate.
I want to rest here for a few days. Go and help me get some things.
Boss, what do you need?
Go to one of our branches, and get a bag of iron marbles for me.
Yes.
Let's go.
Ba Ye?
Ba Ye.
- What are you actually— - Shhh!
Can you stop troubling me? Okay?
I've seen this thing in the past before.
There's definitely a way to find the antidote.
This... I thought of a miracle medicine!
Lieutenant, quickly prepare the car. We'll go over to Fo Ye's place right now!
- Hurry! - Okay!
Lao Ba, are you confident?
As long as it's a poison,
there'll definitely be an antidote for it within seven steps.
Although this method is risky, we must give it a try.
But it's useless, isn't it? We don't know where Chen Pi is right now at all.
He's not stupid. He won't come looking for us himself.
I have a good idea.
What is it?
All this while, Chen Pi considered me the person who caused his Teacher's Wife's death.
I can come out to lure him to the hook.
Using Fo Ye as the bait?
Chen Pi is not stupid. I reckon it'll be hard to get him to take the bait.
What Er Ye said is absolutely right.
Hubby, you're too smart. Not suitable.
Madam, you mean...
Me! I'm just a weak girl. I'll be so suitable.
What are you trying to do?
[Telling your fortune from reading your facial features] [Living Immortal]
You only knew that Fo Ye bought medicine from Xinyue Hotel.
That's right. Fo Ye did spend a large sum of money buying medicine from Xinyue Hotel.
But he didn't know that the people from Xinyue Hotel tampered with the medicine he bought.
If it was really a miracle medicine that could raise the dead,
- then wouldn't Er Ye's wife not have lost her life? - That's right.
So, Xinyue Hotel is just using this medicine ruse
to make money, that's all.
As to what happened after that, we won't talk about it anymore.
Because of this matter, Fo Ye and Er Ye almost fell out with each other.
[Zhang Manor]
We still have to give an explanation to the people in Beiping.
We have to let the news out. Since we are putting on a show, we have to do it properly.
Father!
Please listen carefully.
Please do as I tell you.
Reporting to Boss. Yin Xinyue and Zhang Qishan are now at odds. She's threatening to go back to Beiping.
Is the news true?
Replying to Boss. The news is indeed true.
This news is all over Changsha City. I have also asked my relatives in Beiping to check it out for me.
That year, the Carpesium from Xinyue Hotel was indeed a rare treasure in the world. It could heal a hundred illnesses.
But it is rumored that the real Carpesium is still being kept in the hotel.
It never left Beiping.
Yin Xinyue!
[Zhang Manor]
It's your line. You say it first.
I never expected that my wife
would be someone interested only in making profits!
It's not this sentence! You got it wrong!
I never expected my wife would just watch as someone was dying!
I'm really too disappointed with you!
That medicinal herb—
is my family's most precious treasure!
It is priceless! How could we waste it
on a girl born from a poor and lowly family?
You're only interested in making profits!
I'm not at all!
When you were being harmed by Lu Jianxun, what did I take to save you?
How many people want your life?
Do you even know that?
Let me tell you this. If not for me,
do you think it's really because of your undeserved reputation that you could live until now?
Let me tell you this, Zhang Qishan!
Half of your life now was saved by me!
You even dare to hit me!
Zhang Qishan!
You won't be able to return all the debt that you owe me in this lifetime!
Let me tell you this! I did all this for your good!
If I didn't do this, Chen Pi would have taken your life a long time ago!
Get lost! Go back to Beiping!
You dare ask me to leave?
Correct! I want you to leave!
I will leave then!
I... I will go to the train station now!
How are you going to the train station?
It's all surrounded by Chen Pi's spies over there!
I'll just secretly send you out of the city!
Get lost!
Zhang Qishan, you're an idiot!
I will leave then!
Get lost!
Quickly get lost!
Zhang Qishan, you really are an idiot!
How is it? Is everything clear?
I especially asked for two servants to come and deliver something.
When they get back, they'll definitely tell it to Sister An, the cook.
Sister An can't keep any secrets, and her husband pulls a rickshaw.
So, I think this matter will be known all over Changsha City before half a day is over.
This time, the honor of our Xinyue Hotel will definitely be all gone!
Do you think I won't be able to catch you just because you went out of the city by the small path?
Chen Pi, do you know that I'm Zhang Qishan's woman?
The person I am going to kill is Zhang Qishan's woman.
You caused the death of my teacher's wife. You must die!
Zhang Qishan caused me not to be able to see Teacher's Wife for one last time. He must die, too!
I have a letter here that was written by your teacher's wife.
Do you want to read it?
- Read it out. - Why should I read it?
Can't you read it yourself?
At that time, Ya Tou was gravely ill.
She knew that no matter how miraculous the healing power of Carpesium was, it could not heal her illness.
So, she chose to stop taking the medicine.
Finally, she died peacefully in Er Ye's arms.
You're talking nonsense!
What nonsense?
Isn't it written very clearly in the letter?
Isn't it your teacher's wife's handwriting?
Yes.
Wasn't that what your teacher's wife said?
Yes.
Isn't that it?
Yin Xinyue, you're shameless!
You caused my teacher's wife death, yet you still have so many reasons!
I must flay you today as an offering to my teacher's wife!
Are you ill, Chen Pi?
If your teacher's wife knew about this in the netherworld, she definitely would not wish that you'd become a devil who killed people like scything flax!
I don't care about what she thinks. I just want her to be alive!
Now, Teacher's Wife is no longer around. What right do you all have to still be alive?
I definitely want all of you to be buried with her!
Ya Tou!
Do you think you'll live just because you hide in this wilderness?
I'll kill you now!
I've been tricked!
- Xinyue! - You're here at last! I was so frightened just now!
That Chen Pi almost killed me!
Sister-in-Law, with Fo Ye here, you'll definitely be scared but unscathed.
You say it so easily. Just now, I was really--
Sister-in-Law, the time you had breakfast this morning,
left your house, got into the horse carriage, and left Changsha City in the horse carriage,
and also, the clothes you're wearing and their colors,
and the horse carriage you were in, which leg the horse was galloping with,
- I've already calculated all these thoroughly for you! - Okay, okay, enough.
I just suffered a little fright.
You've really worked hard.
Er Ye, Chen Pi is inside. Do you think...
We have thrown the antidote in.
What happens next depends on his good luck.
Teacher, I know you're outside!
Chen Pi, we were once teacher and disciple.
Today is the day we go our separate ways.
If you die inside, you will still be my disciple.
But we are separated by life and death, and will never meet.
But if you live to come out,
we will no longer be a teacher and disciple. All the ties between us will be broken.
You are not allowed to set foot at my home's gate ever again.
It doesn't matter if I die!
Teacher, you must find the meteorite! You must save Teacher's Wife!
Teacher, you must take the meteorite to save her!
Regarding the meteorite, I never intended to hide it from you.
Can the meteorite really save Ya Tou?
This is just a legend.
If it could really save her, then it would definitely be like that in the illusion.
Do you really want to make her into the living dead?
Fo Ye,
matters regarding Ya Tou,
I've already put them down.
Continue to kneel while you eat.
Teacher's Wife, are noodles the only dish you know how to prepare?
Although we have crabs, we still have to eat noodles.
What's wrong with that? You still want to choose?
No. I will never get tired of eating the food prepared by you.
Even if there's no crab roe, it'll still be the most delicious food that I've ever eaten!
You should spend more time practicing your martial arts skills. Stop trying to be a glib talker.
This way, your teacher won't keep punishing you all the time.
Eat slowly.
Teacher's Wife! [Libation]
Teacher's Wife,
you have not eaten the sweet glutinous rice snack I bought for you!
