[Episode 27]
[Huang Zhenwei]
Selling paintings. Take a look!
I like this one.
Selling paintings! Take a look!
Miss, take a look.
I'll just browse by myself.
Young Master, take a look at these paintings.
Detailed artistry, and the paper is new.
Look at the strokes with smooth lines.
And this one, Young Master?
Young Master, look at these too.
Boss, I want this painting.
Sure thing.
Young Master, here it is for you.
Thank you, Young Master. Travel safe. Come again.
Alright.
Mister,
is this tavern that famous one with a beautiful proprietress?
Yes, but it's been closed for many days.
I've been waiting anxiously every day to see the beautiful proprietress.
Now, it's actually shut down by the government.
Do you know what the offense is?
It's a matter related to the court.
How would we know anything?
Actually, Mistress Zhangsun and that Ding Ning are law-abiding people.
You called her Mistress Zhangsun?
- Yes. - Do you know her name?
Zhangsun Qianxue.
Yes, Zhangsun Qianxue.
Zhangsun Qianxue.
Just by the name, you can tell she is a beauty.
Of course.
- It's too bad. - Yes, it's too bad.
I wonder when we'll ever see her again.
Right.
Who are you?
You should know that our cultivation levels are far apart.
To save you, this is the only method.
You wouldn't think it's from Teacher, would you?
Don't you hate Teacher?
It's nothing to do with hate.
Because he is the only one who knows
that I love the osmanthus flower the most.
You want to enter Min Mountain Sword Sect.
Isn't it to get the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art?
That's right.
If I can't get the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art,
I'm afraid that I'll die too early.
Actually, he should know that
the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art is just a practice to improve health.
It does nothing for realm breakthroughs and cultivation.
But, combined with the replenishing core energy from Heaven and Earth,
It is a powerful practice to restore health.
I already told him this many years ago.
You mean Ding Ning?
No, I was talking about Liang Jingmeng.
There is no difference below the Fourth Realm.
There is no difference below the Fourth Realm?
Only he would dare to say something like that.
I never expected to rely on you to do anything.
I only wish the best for you.
If I ever turn into Yuan Wu some day,
I'd hope you are the one who will kill me.
Have you heard of the death of Song Shenshu from Fengming?
Ding Ning did it.
But I clearly remember that
the Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art cannot be passed to any descendant.
Take care of my teacher! Leave!
- Ye Celeng! - Let's go! - Ye Celeng!
Lin Zhujiu greets... greets...
Strategist, you must not.
Ding Ning is getting insane looking for you.
Who would have known that you are hiding quietly here?
Ding Ning.
You are very smart. You know that the place that's been search by the court
is actually the safest.
Baili Suxue.
Tell me the truth.
What if I don't answer you?
I must have guessed right.
He is Liang Jingmeng!
Answer me!
You two have known each other for so many years.
Other than the past,
I think what Ding Ning is doing now is right.
He is not deliberately hiding anything from you.
You don't have to plea for him.
If he is really sincere to me,
he should have told me the truth.
He thinks hiding it is for my sake.
Actually, he just doesn't trust me.
Where it comes to feelings, I really don't understand it much.
However, it's not easy for Ding Ning to face you under such an identity.
You've told me before,
that your meeting was accidental.
I actually think,
perhaps Ding Ning didn't want to bother you even in the past.
He said revenge isn't easy.
I hope, in the future,
you and him
will not keep carrying the burden from the past.
So I'm actually his burden.
You should leave.
I just want to stay by myself.
Combined with the jade tally from Zhao Si,
all three of the jade tallies from the Lone Mountain Sword Trove are here.
You said we still need to wait for the right time.
Is the Lone Mountain Sword Trove related to the moon?
The Lone Mountain Sword Trove is based on three jade tallies.
But there isn't anything of substance in the jade tallies.
Therefore, my guess is
that it is a map.
We've already tried putting the three jade tallies together.
Even though the pattern looks strange,
but it is not abnormal.
The moonlight is muted tonight. It's probably not helpful.
I think it's not the moonlight that is helpful,
but rather this starry night.
That day, Ye Zhen's Meteor-Comet Tail Sword
stunned Fengming.
The shooting stars falling during daytime gave me an inspiration.
The usual core energy that we absorb
comes from Heaven and Earth.
Ye Zhen is very smart.
Most people obtain core energy from the spirit vein on earth.
She cleverly uses the Heaven's force to replenish herself.
That's why I think
the Lone Mountain Sword Trove cannot be solved by ordinary methods.
It may be connected to the core energy from Heaven.
Look, that one is the Emperor Star.
And the one that shines the most against it is the Big Dipper formed of seven stars.
What is Chen Xuan's explanation about the water prison's incident?
He has no wish to stay alive.
I think he is acknowledging his crime.
I remember that Your Majesty has said every cultivator
is a treasure to Great Heng.
Chen Xuan can be considered a grandmaster.
I would dare to beg for mercy for Chen Xuan.
You pay attention to my words.
Your Majesty's words are the proper way to rule the nation. Of course I must take them to heart.
As it is, I can consider giving him a lighter sentence.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
What is the meaning of this?
I have another favor to ask.
We are husband and wife. You don't need to be so formal.
Come.
Your Majesty.
After Rong'er died, I don't have anyone by my side to chitchat with.
Will Your Majesty please decree to summon Ye Xinhe from Xiao Zhong County
back to the palace as my companion?
This is all?
It's really not a big matter.
Your Majesty has many worries, so I didn't want to bother.
This name, Ye Xinhe,
I've heard it before.
She is your successor in Xiao Zhong County, isn't she?
Yes.
She is indolent. When she first came of age, she defeated Muo Shoucheng.
You thought she was too ruthless and sent her back to Xiao Zhong County.
It's been several years now, and she has grown up.
It's fine to let her be your companion,
but I've already appointed Huang Zhenwei
as the Chief of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision
You should know that he is Muo Shoucheng's disciple.
I understand.
Tell Ye Xinhe to restrain herself.
In case they see each other and end up fighting,
I wouldn't know which side to take.
Your Majesty, Huang Zhenwei has arrived.
It's so late already.
I summoned him here.
I will take my leave.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Long Live Your Majesty! Long Live Great Heng!
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Have you heard about the incident at the Great Floating Water Prison?
I haven't been back to Fengming for a long time.
During the day, I purposely visited around the streets and alleyways.
I heard the Queen's Meteor-Comet Tail Sword was stunning that day.
All the people admired it.
The people are just talking about the unusual sights in the sky.
But, aren't they talking about the jailbreak from the water prison?
The jailbreak is a secret in the court.
I was visiting around in the streets.
I think, even if the people know about it,
they wouldn't talk about it in the open.
You are quite candid.
Your Majesty said it before that you like my straightforwardness. I've always remembered it.
Previously, I dispatched you out of Fengming
to look for clues to the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
Now that Ye Celeng is dead,
it's good that you come back to be the Chief of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you've already entered the Eighth Realm.
You are invincible in the world. The Lone Mountain Sword Trove
shouldn't be that important to you. But Lin Zhujiu is absconded,
and Bai Shanshui was among the jailbreakers.
I think, instead of waiting for the Lone Mountain Sword Trove to fall into enemy hands,
we should be prepared in advance.
You have clues to the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
I've been traveling the four seas without finding anything during these years.
But recently, I obtained some confirmed news.
The Lone Mountain Sword Trove is very much connected to the Spirit Void Sword Sect.
Spirit Void Sword Sect?
It's already disappeared for many years.
That's true. However, for such a big sect to suddenly disappear,
I thought it's really suspicious and searched more.
What's the result?
This matter seems to be related to Fengwu's royal family.
- Fengwu? - Yes.
My leads stopped there.
They say Fengwu has been haunted by ghosts for ten years.
I don't believe any things with ghosts and devils.
But, somewhere within the gossip and legends,
it's really difficult to find the truth.
I was going to personally go to investigate.
Xian kingdom and Fengwu state have conspired with each other.
I've been wanting to trample Fengwu.
Since the Lone Mountain Sword Trove is in Fengwu,
it happens to fit into my wish.
I don't understand astrological study.
I only know this is the Emperor Star, and that is the Big Dipper.
But what do they represent?
I had no idea that the Long Mountain Sword Trove
is actually connected to our Min Mountain Sword Sect.
You mean, the Lone Mountain Sword Sect is hidden in Min Mountain?
This is just a part of it.
From this drawing, you can see
the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art that Ding Ning is studying
is a part of the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
I'd like to understand more.
Actually, this is a secret only known to
only known to the successive Sect Masters of Min Mountain Sword Sect.
Please look at this drawing.
The star in the center of the Big Dipper
is called Opening Yang Star, also named Wu Qu Star.
It represents our Min Mountain Sword Sect.
Next to the Opening Yang Star is a beautiful companion star
that stays with it, as if they are brothers.
The seven stars of the Big Dipper
actually are in the family crest of the first Sect Master of Min Mountain Sword Sect.
But you are only telling half of it. What's the other half?
The founding Sect Master of Min Mountain Sword Sect
actually had a younger brother.
They separately established their own sects.
That companion star that I talked about just now
represents his younger brother's sect.
It's called Spirit Void Sword Sect.
Are you talking about
the Spirit Void Sword Sect that is famous for refining tools?
Although the two brothers are from the same family,
they developed different specialties in cultivation.
The older brother's sect pays attention to Qi, and
focuses on cultivating core energy as their primary goal.
The younger brother's sect specializes in refining tools,
manufacturing weapons, and the study of oracles.
They became the best experts.
Therefore, the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art is the sect treasure of the Min Mountain Sword Sect.
The other half of the Lone Mountain Sword Sect is the sect treasure of the Spirit Void Sword Sect.
What is the sect treasure of
the Spirit Void Sword Sect? Is it a sword?
You are exactly right.
The sect treasure of the Spirit Void Sword Sect
is the long missing sword of supreme yang,
Grand Punishment Sword.
But, the Spirit Void Sword Sect has disappeared from the martial arts universe for a long time.
How do we look for it?
Can we find it by tracing this family crest?
What you don't know is that
the owner of this family crest used to be in the Fengwu royal family.
According to the news from Miss Shang,
Yuan Wu intends to attack Fengwu.
Even though Yuan Wu doesn't know the secret of the Lone Mountain Sword Trove,
but the early history of Min Mountain is easy to research.
Once Yuan Wu attacks Fengwu,
what can be seen or heard along the way
won't be under our control.
Even though he is not interested in the Sword Trove now,
but if he develops an interest in the Grand Punishment Sword,
you will become passively involved.
If the King of Heng wants the Grand Punishment Sword,
even if I give up my life,
I will never let the Sword Trove fall into his hands.
You are already seriously injured,
you are probably not a suitable opponent to Yuan Wu at this time.
Miss Zhangsun is here.
Where is she?
At the mountain gate. She won't come inside.
Little Aunt!
Little Aunt, why are you standing here? Why don't you go inside?
I don't like you calling me Little Aunt.
Alright, I won't do it anymore.
It's dangerous outside. Let's go inside to talk.
Ding Ning.
When we first met, I knew that
you were different from regular people.
There is a lot you are keeping inside.
Oftentimes,
you look carefree on the surface,
but it's for disguising yourself.
Isn't that right?
Little...
Qianxue, what's the matter with you?
We've been together many years.
Whatever temperaments we each have, we've already figured it out thoroughly.
I'm not a materialistic person.
I also don't care about how many risks we've taken.
You should know it very well.
Yes, I do.
If you were so petty, you wouldn't have drunk the awful tasting wine.
Qianxue,
what is happening with you?
Don't you have anything to tell me?
- Tell you what? - Anything.
I just want to hear you tell me the truth.
I don't think this is the good time to talk about that.
The Lone Mountain Sword Trove is already solved.
Let me take you to see it.
Do you only think about the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
What about Ye Celeng? Don't you want to avenge her?
Of course I do, but not right now.
We don't have anything right now.
Reckless vengeance will only take away more lives.
I don't want to lose anyone else.
You will always wait for when you're fully ready.
You will always be afraid of losses.
But, do you know that
when you're afraid,
when you are preparing,
many people have already left you?
What do you mean?
Do you know, in the water prison,
the last words that Ye Celeng said to me?
What did she say?
She said,
"Take care of Teacher!"
Qianxue.
I...
Liang Jingmeng.
You are a coward.
Prime Minister Li.
Your Majesty.
Why are you worrying?
Your Majesty is wise.
Prince Han delights in scheming for power.
Prince Chu is always kind. In this mission,
I'm worried that the two brothers will be secretly jousting.
I'm well aware of Han's ambition.
This time, his action
is also within my anticipation.
If so, maybe dispatch someone for protection?
Anyone born in the royal family must tolerate and endure beyond what ordinary people need to.
Chu is intelligent but too kind.
Han is ruthless but isn't good at restraint.
Both of these are weaknesses as a sovereign.
The world isn't at peace yet.
Great Heng needs a domineering king.
- Chu'er. - Royal Mother.
You don't need to console me.
Royal Father must have his own reason to appoint me as the Vanguard Officer.
Besides, I don't feel aggrieved.
I haven't said anything yet,
and you've already said everything I wanted to say.
Royal Mother, you've always cared about me.
After the argument in court that day, I went back and thought more.
I think what Brother Han said also makes some sense.
Chu'er, have you changed your mind?
No.
I still don't want to see wars.
Even though have wars can strength the military and create opportunities for Great Heng,
but once slaughtering becomes commonplace, it's the common people who will suffer.
I'm surprised that you have this kind of thinking.
Do you think it's inappropriate, Royal Mother?
Quite the contrary, I think it's excellent.
A king must have his own thoughts.
He shouldn't be too ruthless nor too softhearted.
You can accept using wars to strengthen the military,
without using your own belief. You've grown a lot.
Just don't tell your thoughts to your Royal Father yet.
Does Royal Father not like a subject to be honest in giving counsels?
Your Royal Father is the King, and he has his own thoughts and difficulties to consider.
To him, everything is about the whole world.
He has his way of being a king. We should not dispute him.
I understand.
Chu'er, come sit here.
When you became the Crown Prince, is was elevating a younger to supersede the older.
You also understand Han's personality.
Therefore, you must be very careful in this mission.
I promised Royal Mother before to protect you for the lifetime.
Therefore, I will definitely come back.
Please take care of your health in the palace, Royal Mother.
Royal Father said you are my Royal Mother as of today.
Yes.
What's the matter with you?
Anyone bullying you?
It's nothing. Some sand got into my eyes.
There is no wind inside the palace. Why is there sand?
My Royal Mother used to be bullied often.
But you don't have to worry. I am already the crown prince.
I will protect you from now on.
Chu'er has grown up,
but your heart stays the same. I am very pleased.
I'm embarking on my trip tomorrow, so I'll take my leave now.
Go ahead.
Your Majesty, Ye Xinhe has arrived in Fengming. She will come in later.
I'm in no hurry to have her here.
Let her do something for me first.
Let her send over the thing that I've prepared.
Yes.
You didn't tell me that you're back.
It's His Majesty's wish.
If I could choose, I'd rather not come back.
If there is any suspicion, you should know very well.
Is it for this case
or for that person?
Are you Chen Xuan?
Who ordered you here? [Ye Xinhe, Xiao Zhong County]
Per etiquette, you should ask for my name first.
If you are polite to me, I can give you the sword.
What is your name?
Ye Xinhe.
Her Majesty dispatched me here.
The Queen said, you'll understand the meaning once you get the sword.
Everything is up to you to decide.
Once you've decided, you can go to her.
You Fengming people are really boring.
Another detestable person has shown up.
However, it's just as well that you can't see now.
I've only stayed at the Holy Capital Surveillance to wait for your return.
If you are willing, we can leave Fengming immediately.
Stay away from all the conflicts. How about it?
Your Teacher has been dead for ten years!
If you can't let it go,
- It's still useless! - I just can't let it go!
Teacher was loyal to Great Heng his whole life.
In the end, his name can't even be mentioned.
Great Heng has been stable for these many years.
It's built on his blood and that of the Ba Mountain disciples.
I've fulfilled my wish.
No more regrets in this lifetime.
If there is an afterlife,
let's not meet each other again.
Do you only care about the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
What about Ye Celeng? Don't you want to avenge her?
You always want to wait until you're fully ready.
You're always afraid of the losses.
But, did you know, when you're afraid
and when you're preparing,
many people have already left you.
Liang Jingmeng.
You are a coward.
Do you know that, in the water prison,
what Ye Celeng's last words to me were?
Take care of Teacher.
Where are you going?
I'm looking for her, of course.
Don't you understand it yet? If she is deliberately avoiding you,
it means she doesn't want you to find her.
Don't you understand it even after looking for her for such a long time?
It's all because you didn't remind me at that time.
No, wait. We need to talk about serious matters.
Strategist Lin's health isn't good for long-distance travel.
Heng's army will embark on attacking Fengwu tomorrow. What is your plan?
I'm also planning to leave tomorrow.
You must not tell Eldest Senior Brother and the others.
If you leak it,
we will not be brothers anymore.
I didn't want to be brothers with you.
It appears that you have a special feeling for Ye Celeng.
That's right. We agreed that we would
leave Fengming together after the jailbreak.
No wonder at the jailbreak, I discovered that you were on our side.
Instead of wallowing in sadness by yourself,
why not avenge her.
Do you mean Liang Lian?
He deserves to die.
But the one who deserves to die even more
is Ye Zhen!
You're saying that the Lone Mountain Sword Trove is connected to the Spirit Void Sword Sect?
Yes. I traced Huang Zhenwei's investigation.
Before he came back to court, his clues pointed to Fengwu.
Fengwu?
Therefore, His Majesty's war on Fengwu carries another motive.
My guess is that it's plan to kill two birds with one stone.
The mission to Fengwu only has Liang Lialn and the two princes.
His Majesty must be thinking of making arrangements after the war is stabilized.
Since he is not in a hurry, we aren't in a hurry either.
I thought you wanted to subjugate Chen Xuan
in order to get the Lone Mountain Sword Trove at Fengwu.
The Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art is Min Mountain's sect treasure.
His Majesty has broken into the Eighth Realm, so he naturally doesn't care about it. But I'm different.
All of us inheritors at Xiao Zhong Country were selected by poisonous magic.
We are inflicted with an illness.
Even if the Divine Art can't help me break through the realm,
I can at least restore my body.
Are you sure that Chen Xuan will come?
