[Sword Dynasty]
[Episode 09]
I've been at White Goat Cave for so many years,
this is the first time I've seen
such a natural talent as Ding Ning. [Xue Wangxu: Cave Master of White Goat Cave]
Given time, he will definitely achieve greatness. [Xue Wangxu: Cave Master of White Goat Cave]
But gods are jealous of natural talents, his body is unfortunately inflicted with Irreversible Fiery Yang.
Even if there is the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art that can change his body condition, [Li Daoji: White Goat Cave]
given the current situation,
Ding Ning probably can't hold on long enough for the Min Mountain Sword Trials.
Junior Brother, do you still remember
the great treasure of White Goat Cave, the Appearance Fixing Bead?
Appearance Fixing Bead?
If we use the Appearance Fixing Bead to suppress his Irreversible Fiery Yang body,
perhaps Ding Ning can live to attend Min Mountain Sword Trials.
As to whether he can obtain the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art,
it will depend on his luck.
Senior Brother, do you mean you'll go see that Feng Qianzhuo?
While one lives,
the end will come eventually.
At the end,
one always wants to settle
the debts accumulated during his youth.
Why are you here?
I'm taking you somewhere.
Sit.
No wonder all the locals come here to eat noodles.
These noodles taste really delicious.
The chili sauce is particularly good.
You could have just eaten their noodles.
Why did you bring your own bowl?
Do you really want to know?
Does it taste better with your own bowl?
It's not that. Their noodles really taste delicious.
But I know this shop's dish-washing servant.
He doesn't wash the bowls well.
Also, he likes to pick his nose when he washes the bowls.
If you still want to eat, I can let you borrow a bowl.
Forget it.
I just suddenly wanted to enjoy something. I've had enough.
Young brother, give me a bowl of spicy chili noodles.
Yes.
Now that you've won the Sword Trial Festival,
I'm taking you to Tushan County in Ba Commandery.
Why go somewhere so faraway?
To pick up something.
What is it?
Something that will cure your illness.
Customer, here are your noodles.
Someone told me that there is nothing in the world
that can cure my illness,
unless I can enter Min Mountain Sword Sect to cultivate
and obtain the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art.
What that person said is correct.
However, nothing is absolute.
If you want to attend the Min Mountain Sword Trials next year,
you are still too weak.
Based on past situations, the disciples who attend the trial
must at least have reached the intermediate stage
of the Energy Core Realm.
You will sometimes see weird geniuses in the Energy Fusing Realm.
What you are telling me,
I had already heard even before I entered White Goat Cave.
I am the Cave Master of White Goat Cave.
I tell you to go, would you not go?
Go, go, go. Of course, I will.
This is more like it.
Eat.
Teacher, you said there is a cure for me at Tushan County in Ba Commandery.
What is it?
It is an Appearance Fixing Bead.
Appearance Fixing Bead?
Teacher, I'm still young.
I think you probably need it more than I do.
The Appearance Fixing Bead that I speak of
is not the same as the lowly fragrant pills in Fengming's
perfume houses.
It is an elixir pill that has a unique ability to preserve one's appearance.
The medicinal aura that diffuses from this Appearance Fixing Bead
can moisten the five internal organs
and preserve your face.
This bead originally belonged to White Goat Cave.
But later,
it was taken by Feng Qianzhuo of Tushan County.
Feng Qianzhuo?
He seems to be living in Tushan County in Ba Commandery now.
He covets money and women.
For such a scoundrel to come out of Ba Mountain
is a great shame for our sect.
Teacher, who is Feng Qianzhuo?
He was a disciple of Ba Mountain Sword Academy.
But all you need to know
is that he is an old pervert
who has done many bad things.
The Appearance Fixing Bead can be refined.
But Feng Qianzhuo takes pleasure in women,
so he gave it to his young concubine after obtaining it.
There are many treasures. It's too bad that they are not used for cultivation.
This bead that you talk about,
can it really cure my body of the Irreversible Fiery Yang?
No.
Teacher, are you perhaps just taking me there to avenge your grievance?
Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art
is the only cure that can save you.
Although the Appearance Fixing Bead has limited power,
it can guarantee that
you won't die before the Min Mountain Sword Trials.
It's your own business whether you can live.
I am only responsible for getting you into Min Mountain Sword Trials.
I will win it
for the sake of White Goat Cave.
Good! Excellent!
When I was young, I was just like you now,
carelessly fearless in pursuing fame.
But after so much time has passed,
after making many mistakes,
after so many people are gone,
I can't reverse time
to get a chance to do it again.
Teacher, you may have aged,
but with me following you, I will earn true honors for you.
This is the map to the water prison.
Fourth Master Zhao, please check.
[Fourth Master Zhao: Sword Furnace of Lie Kingdom]
Who was the seller of this map?
The Fish Market's rule is to never ask about the source.
It concerns your safety, Fourth Master Zhao.
Please be cautious.
Thanks.
[Tushan County, Ba Commandery]
Teacher, what is your plan?
Feng Qianzhuo is like a feudal lord
in Tushan County,
especially because he is a strong cultivator.
So, to many people, he is treated
as a protector with god-like powers.
He seems to enjoy this kind of adoration.
So, every year during temple festivals,
he will light up the first incense,
donate some money, give a speech.
If I challenge him in public during this time,
he shouldn't have any justification to refuse me.
But he is, after all, a disciple from Ba Mountain Sword Academy.
You should exercise caution.
Why should I be cautious? Aren't you the one doing the grabbing?
You brought me here, but you're not the one stealing it?
It's something for you to use on yourself,
you should do the grabbing.
Teacher, but I don't know much about Ba Mountain Sword Academy.
How do I grab it? Like that person from Ba Mountain Sword Academy,
I only know that he had many techniques in going across realms and killing people,
but no one has mentioned what kind of person he was.
That person, even if it were me,
I wouldn't be qualified to judge him.
But all the cultivators in Fengming from way back then
knew that it was the number one swordsman, Liang Jingmeng,
who led the cultivators from Ba Mountain Sword Academy
to annihilate three kingdoms for the king and stabilized the reign of Great Heng.
Whether it is in cultivation or strategy,
no one can compare to him.
That chaos from ten years ago
was also not that simple as talked about among the people in Heng.
Not that simple?
The people who know
shut their mouths in order to survive.
They allow historians to write as they wish.
We've looked into Ding Ning.
His household registry file is very clean.
The file can be fabricated.
A living person can't be falsified.
- Check again. - Yes.
Check all the way from his birth.
Don't ignore anyone who is around him.
Yes. [Palace Maidservant Rong]
Queen Mother.
Greetings to Queen Mother. [Prince Chu, Great Heng]
My son, Chu, you are here. You can leave.
[Take Back the World]
Is Mother still investigating that man named Ding Ning?
I've been hearing a lot of talk about him.
Even though he is endowed with natural talents, he suffers jealousy from Heaven.
He is destined to die young at the age of 30.
Besides, there are many cultivators in Heng that are stronger than him.
I think that if you only focus on him,
it seems to be a little wasteful.
This person has progressed very fast in his cultivation,
and his intelligence and comprehension far exceed those of his same age group.
You must beware of this kind of person.
To maintain Great Heng's peace and harmony,
we must thoroughly investigate this person.
If his innocence is proven,
your king father can utilize this person with peace of mind.
In the future, we can let him contribute to Great Heng.
But during this period of investigation, you should not get close to him.
I don't understand. Didn't Mother say
that I should befriend outstanding people?
His identity is still unknown right now.
We do not know if he is a friend or an enemy.
My son, Chu, please remember.
In this palace, a faulty step can lead to the abyss.
Thank you for your teaching.
I am Feng Qinghan, the grandson of Feng Qianzhuo.
I did not know in advance of Cave Master Xue's arrival.
Please forgive my lack of hospitality.
My relationship with the Feng family isn't that great.
There is no need to be so courteous.
Cave Master Xue has a noble stature.
The Feng family should express our hospitality.
Cave Master Xue, if you don't mind,
I can arrange a side pavilion as your lodging.
It's not necessary.
May I ask for the reason of Cave Master Xue coming to our Tushan County? If...
Don't be nervous. I am traveling around with my disciple.
We just happened to pass by Tushan County and will leave tomorrow at noon.
Tomorrow happens to be the temple festival to pay respect to the Kitchen God.
It will be very festive. Furthermore, there will be a display of the calligraphy paintings from the queen.
It would be a loss to miss it, Cave Master Xue.
It is well known that the queen shows loving care to the Feng family.
Will you please pass a message to Feng Qianzhuo
that I'm in a hurry to travel
and won't attend the festival.
I prefer the quiet and simple.
Then I won't intrude upon you.
What a hypocrite.
Are you talking about me or him?
Both are about the same.
Get lost.
The Feng family learned about our arrival into Tushan County so fast,
and it has reacted so quickly.
With such an attitude displayed by the Feng family,
perhaps it has heard that I've reached the Seventh Realm?
Could Feng Qianzhuo have dissolved
that Appearance Fixing Bead overnight out of fear?
No.
If that's the case, he wouldn't have sent his grandson over here
to suppress you with the queen's name.
Besides, you've shown yourself to be in a hurry to leave.
[Stone Mill Sword Technique]
- Young Master. - Young Master. [Feng Manor]
Grandfather.
Grandson Han, how did it go?
Grandfather, Xu Wangxu said he is only passing by.
He will leave early tomorrow.
It's difficult to guess Xu Wangxu.
It's best to be more cautious.
If he dares to cause trouble for Grandfather,
the Feng family will definitely make him pay a harsh price.
I heard he brought along a youngster?
Xu Wangxu has only been here a day, so I haven't thoroughly investigated.
I only know that this person, despite being a cultivator,
has not reached Energy Core Realm. From the way Xu Wangxu looked at him,
he should be a highly regarded disciple.
He is very likely a private disciple of his.
He travels far and drags along a burden.
If Xue Wangxu really
makes a move...
[Feng Qianzhuo]
I will eliminate his favorite disciple first.
The boss is here!
Boss lady.
You haven't seen enough?
Come drink. Come, come.
Why is Holy Capital Surveillance here? [Mo Qinggong: Holy Capital Surveillance]
Isn't he from the Holy Capital Surveillance?
Someone in a high position in court wants to see you.
How did my small tavern offend
Lord Mo of Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art?
It's not me.
The person who wants to see you isn't someone any of us dare to offend.
I've been abiding by the law.
I don't fear anything in front of any high official in court.
Then please come.
He's taking the boss.
Thank you, Chief Ye, for giving my junior brother an honored funeral.
Is that all you want to say by coming here?
No, I want to cooperate with you.
A traitor from the Lie Kingdom wants to cooperate with a Heng official.
It doesn't sound right no matter how you look at it.
What if I want to cooperate with a disciple of Ba Mountain Sword Academy?
Would you still be this resolute, Chief Ye?
It's been ten years, and there are no more Ba Mountain disciples in the world.
I know there is still one.
He is in the Great Floating Water Prison.
Don't you want to know who he is?
- Who is he? - This is the reason why I'm here to see you.
[Holy Capital Surveillance]
[Prime Minister Li: Heng Kingdom]
Greetings, Your Honor.
Tell me your family ancestry.
I am an orphan from the Zhangsun family.
Zhangsun was an old surname in Fengming City.
It got scattered during wartime.
The Zhangsun family only has me now.
Since you are from a big family, then I won't beat around the bush.
Who is Ding NIng?
He is the son of my elder sister, Zhangsun Feishuang, and a deceased warrior surnamed Ding.
My sister died during the journey when the Zhangsun family fell into ruin.
Ding Ning luckily survived.
He is half a descendant to the Zhangsun family.
Please protect him, Your Honor.
It involves an old affair,
that's why I'm asking.
[Chen Xuan: Superintendent of Holy Capital Surveillance]
Holy Capital Surveillance has investigated the old file.
Comparing the Zhangsun family book and official records,
the new journal is written here.
Read it.
According to files collected in Great Heng's archive,
the Zhangsun family book recorded that, in the first year of Yuan Wu,
the Zhangsun clan was scattered apart during wartime and ultimately died off in various locations.
Confirmed dead were 146.
Missing are 71.
The eldest daughter Zhangsun Feishuang died during the chaos.
She left a son, named Ding Ning, who went missing.
As recorded in the Great Heng's household registry journals, in the third year of Yuan Wu,
Zhangsun's remaining daughter, Zhangsu Qianxue returned to the city, bringing along Ding Ning,
to reside in the city's Wutong Falls shop to run a tavern.
Does Your Honor have other questions?
Allow Miss Zhangsun to go home.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Continue to monitor her.
Yes.
Teacher, do you get the feeling that the people here are strange?
I do.
Look, Teacher.
Just cooked.
So hot.
- Give me two. - All right.
Here, take them.
How much?
Since you are guests of Old Master Feng, these two aren't worth much.
So they are free. I won't charge.
How did you know that we are Old Master Feng's guests?
The news has spread in the city since yesterday.
They said the Feng family has two guests from Fengming City.
We can tell just by your clothing.
An old man with a young man. Isn't this right?
- All right, thank you. - No need to thank me.
- Good. - Walk safely.
It looks like we'll be disliked today for sure.
They really look different.
Xue Wangxu said he was leaving, but he still hasn't left. Is that right?
He shows no sign of leaving.
It appears that Xue Wangxu
really came for me.
Xue Wangxu may not care about his lowly life,
but I have a grand family and big business.
How can I have the same view as he does?
Today, don't let me see people coming from Fengming.
Yes, Grandfather.
Good!
Good! Good!
So good!
So much hustle and bustle!
Good! Good! Good!
Good!
Follow me.
Good! Good!
Good! Very good!
Slow down!
Cave Master Xue.
Why didn't Feng Qianzhuo come?
Cave Master Xue, why did you change your mind today?
Yesterday, he said I was a hypocrite.
Today, I won't be a hypocrite.
Today, the queen's painting is being displayed.
It's probably not appropriate to do it during this occasion, right?
Of course, we can't denigrate the queen's painting.
That's the best then.
[Temple]
Good! Good!
It's really a good show!
Good! Good!
- Come, let's follow. - Good! Good!
Look, it's Old Master Feng!
Old Master Feng! Old Master Feng!
Look, it's Old Master Feng!
[Temple]
I invited all the folks to come here today
to appreciate together the painting bestowed by the queen.
"Bitter chill has completely dissipated, while red plum flowers are blooming."
It visualizes the meaning of happiness after hard work.
The queen's realm is higher than mine.
She is probably not too far
from breaking through the Eighth Realm.
You're quite old already,
but you haven't comprehended?
After seeing a painting like this one,
you still want to show off?
There are things that
are beyond the comprehension
of someone like you who is hiding in a corner for safety.
Since I'm here to attend the event, I should contribute some, too.
Your sword and mine haven't been shown in a long time.
Why don't we, at this opportune occasion,
add some celebratory fun to this grand event?
You really shouldn't have come today.
Losing your life for an Appearance Fixing Bead
is really not a good deal at all.
It's not just about the bead,
it's about the honor of White Goat Cave.
Both of you are aged, it's not good to hurt either one.
Let us young people take care of the sword fights.
If I win,
will you give the Appearance Fixing Bead back to White Goat Cave?
Please agree, Grandfather.
Lizhu, give me the bead.
If you can beat me, then this bead
will be given to the White Goat Cave.
Ba Mountain Sword Academy's Painting Sword.
It's actually a remnant sword.
Good!
I'll kill you!
Qinghan!
- Grandfather. - Qinghan!
You should know that he asked for it.
He asked for it...
He asked for it!
For an Appearance Fixing Bead,
you took away my grandson's life and cultivation!
The Appearance Fixing Bead.
Appearance Fixing Bead?
I'll give you the bead,
but you might not be able to use it.
It's really despicable to act against a youngster.
It's time to settle the old debts.
Old Master Feng! Old Master Feng!
A life for a life.
We don't ask for any extra.
Let's go.
I'm old.
Teacher, how do you feel?
One word: satisfied!
[Zhou Sansheng: Two-Story Tower]
I'm asking how your body feels.
A bag of old bones. Don't worry about them.
I want to ask you. How do you feel after you refined the Appearance Fixing Bead?
What's the matter?
I feel bad all over.
I'll be fine after a drink of wine when we go back.
What kind of joke is this?
All right, Teacher. Shall we return to Fengming to practice martial arts?
Drink wine.
It's better to return to practice martial arts.
Drink wine.
My Little Aunt's wine tastes so bad.
You still want to go?
- Let's go then. - All right, let's return to Fengming.
You've offended someone at the top.
Even you, Xue Wangxu,
will not escape disaster.
Lord Mo, what is the meaning of this?
Holy Capital Surveillance would like to invite Ding Ning over.
My disciple and I have just returned.
The Holy Capital Surveillance is then blocking the road to make an arrest.
Lord Mo, please give us an explanation first.
With Lord Mo personally inviting, how can I not go?
Teacher, there must be something urgent since Lord Mo has waited for so long on a cold night.
It's probably not up to us to decide whether we'll go or not.
At such a young age, you have quite the boldness.
Please.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
