[Mysterious Lotus Casebook]

[Episode 8]

Kid,

don't say I didn't remind you.

This is the tomb of Prince Fangji and Princess Nanyin.

If you touch it, your whole family will be executed.

[Weeping Guanyin]

Weeping Guanyin?

Hand over the Weeping Guanyin!

Do you want to die?

It's rare that someone can sustain my attack.

But...

What a pity.

So this is what you want.

Goodbye.

You're chasing me so closely.

I don't want it then.

Whirling Steps?

It's really you.

Li Xiangyi.

Weeping Guanyin lives up to its reputation.

Finally, all my old injuries have been healed.

It's worth my effort to hide my identity

with the Bone Constriction Skill.

Li Xiangyi, I’m going to meet you now.

It’s been ten years.

Li Xiangyi, how've you been?

Director Di.

You're still so clingy after not seeing each other for ten years.

That's why you recognized me at Wei Manor.

Or what?

Every day, for the past ten years, I've been wanting to

have a duel with you again.

But they said you were dead.

Why are you so happy that I'm not dead?

Excuse me. I've to go.

I have to go back to cook.

Why do you only have 10% of your power left?

You were poisoned by my Mingyue Chenxihai

and I was poisoned by your Beifeng Cuibahuang.

It's normal to be injured.

Even before taking Weeping Guanyin,

I still had 60% of my power.

What have you been doing for the past ten years?

To be honest,

I've been busy for the past ten years.

I was busy taking care of myself

and living a good life.

By the way,

I also learned how to cook.

Cooking?

Yes, cooking.

I'm quite good at it.

How could Li Xiangyi, the great Sect Leader of the Sigu Sect

and the best martial artist in the world,

have spent ten years doing such mundane things?

Director Di, you're too assertive.

These daily life skills are harder than martial arts training.

You know what? Cooking is even harder.

To cook a good dish,

you have to be very particular to its quality.

Try it someday if you don't believe me.

-I don’t want to listen to your nonsense.
-Make a dish of stir-fried cabbage.

Come with me now to find the elixir.

Wait.

If supplements really work,

why did you have to use the Bone Constriction Skill

to get Weeping Guanyin?

They're useless.

Besides,

I don't care to use them now.

Moreover,

I'm fine now.

I have more vitality than before.

I didn't expect you to have been

living like a dog for the past ten years.

You are the dog.

You want to be a loser?

Fine.

I'll grant you your wish.

I'll take you to Baichuan Court now

and let your men see

what have become of Li Xiangyi,

the Sect Leader of the Sigu Sect.

If you don't want dignity,

I'll make you lose all your dignity.

Slow down. Slow down. Slow down.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm going to throw up.

Throw up.

I-I can't.

I just lied to get you to stop.

You were flying too high.

If your inner power is interrupted,

you'll suffer a terrible fall.

What do you mean?

My inner power?

Stop trying.

Your inner power has been blocked.

The Weeping Guanyin?

Smart.

You poisoned it.

Don't come over.

A gentleman doesn’t resort to violence.

It's Asura Grass from the Yipin Tomb.

One of Nanyin's Three Magical Techniques, Asura Grass?

Not bad.

Director Di is really knowledgeable indeed.

It's been 100 years

but the corpse of Princess Nanyin in the tomb hasn't rotted

because she has Asura Grass in her body.

But just now,

I also took some grass seeds from her body

and put it in the Weeping Guanyin.

This thing grows rapidly when it's met with blood.

Now, the Asura Grass has blocked your meridians.

Li Xiangyi.

Did you plan all this long ago?

I just went to Yu City,

and found out you're still alive.

After you left the borders,

you'd definitely go look for the elixir to heal your injuries.

Then it must be the Weeping Guanyin.

I've heard some old stories before,

that the Weeping Guanyin was buried with Prince Fangji.

Isn't it a coincidence

that strange things also happened on Mount Puchu?

Then, I wanted to go out and have some fun.

I didn't expect

to see a kid with a sword on his back

throwing a tantrum in broad daylight.

It's been so many years

and you still haven't changed a bit.

I can tell that.

Li Xiangyi.

You haven't been training your martial arts skills,

but you've become more scheming.

Don't.

You want to kill me with Asura Grass?

Before that,

do you believe I'll kill you first?

You're thinking too much.

I just

need your help with something.

Are you threatening me?

How could I threaten you?

We've known each other for a long time.

I know you.

You

are the least susceptible to threats.

How about this?

Put down your sword first and let's talk.

After this matter is settled,

I'll give you a gift.

The Mantra of Inner Body Cleansing.

Your master's ultimate skill?

That's right.

This skill can reverse the heart's pulse

and expel the strands of Asura Grass out of your body,

and restore your inner power.

Of course.

If you don't agree,

I won't force you.

You can just kill me with the sword.

What's the matter?

It's simple.

Firstly,

keep the secret of my identity for me.

Secondly,

where are the remains of my senior Shan Gudao?

I thought you wanted me to dissolve the Jinyuan Alliance,

or not hurt anyone in the martial world.

I can help you with the first thing.

I don't care if you're self-abasing.

I can't help you with the second thing.

Your senior has been dead for ten years.

The martial arts world has been in chaos for ten years.

I can't find his body.

Then, the Jinyuan Alliance killed my senior

and stole his remains.

That's why I fought against you at the East Sea.

Over the past ten years,

I've been looking for his remains.

But I never found them.

With your order,

I'm sure you can summon the Jinyuan Alliance to investigate the past again

and help me find my senior.

It's not impossible that your senior was eaten by a wild dog.

Do you want me to kill all the wild dogs in the world

to find the remains of your senior?

If that's the case,

Director Di,

I'm afraid you'll have to say goodbye

to your supreme martial arts skills.

Li Xiangyi.

Do you really think I won’t exhaust the torture methods

to force you to detoxify me?

You will.

Of course you will.

When you were feeling out my aura,

you realized that I don't have long to live.

What's the point of doing all that

to a dying man like me?

Stop wasting your time.

Otherwise, if I die before

I find my senior,

you'd be wasting your energy.

Greetings, My Lord.

Which coroner examined

Shan Gudao's corpse ten years ago?

My Lord.

Among the coroners in the Alliance,

Shi Hun has the best technique.

He must have been in charge of what you ordered.

Where is he now?

Because of the great battle ten years ago,

all the outstanding people in the Alliance were dispersed.

With the status of a coroner,

he has long disappeared and hidden from the martial arts world.

But I remember that

when Shi Hun was young,

he was adopted by a monk from Pudu Temple.

After he left the Alliance,

he might have returned to Pudu Temple.

My Lord, do you want me to investigate it?

No need.

Pudu Temple and Baichuan Court were built together.

I'll go there myself.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Tell the Alliance I have something personal to deal with.

Tell them not to bother me.

Yes.

Let's go,

to Pudu Temple.

Do you not dare to go?

Are you afraid that your men at Baichuan Court will see you like this?

That's not it.

Before I leave,

I have to bring someone with me.

Fang Duobing?

Smart.

You are really troublesome now.

Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing?

Li Lianhua.

Are you okay?

Calm down.

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

I'm skilled at running away.

That brat is so good at martial arts.

By the way,

where is that little thing?

Where is he?

He left.

He left?

What about the Weeping Guanyin?

Hurry and go after him!

Calm down. Calm down.

You haven't recovered yet.

I told you.

He took it.

Actually, this brat

meticulously planned all this

to cure his illness.

So,

I used this Weeping Guanyin

to exchange a lifetime of him not doing evil again,

and he naturally agreed.

That simple?

Not at all.

In order to convince him,

I'd exhausted all my words.

But luckily,

that brat is a man of his word.

He's just a bit impolite.

What about you?

Without the Weeping Guanyin, your heart disease...

I'll be fine.

I've survived for so many years.

Don't worry. I won't die.

After all, it's quite nice now.

Since I could convince that brat to stop hurting people,

it's all worth it.

You're still quite chivalrous.

Don't worry.

I've long regarded you as my partner.

Even if I have to search all the magical herbs in the world for your heart disease's elixir,

I will find it for you.

As for whether you regard me as a partner,

I don't care.

What else can I do?

I can't get rid of you anyway.

Take this.

Let me tell you.

Now that the entrance of Yipin tomb is open,

many bandits will barge in

to steal these treasures.

There's no time to lose.

Go and report it.

Besides,

you should be solving your second big case now.

Can you stop mentioning it?

Everyone is dead now.

Who can testify for me?

Have you forgotten

that the one you hit at the entrance

is still alive?

That's right.

Who is blocking the way?

He's one of us.

He's the Iron Head Slave

who wore an iron helmet.

Remember?

The Iron Head Slave.

No wonder he looks so cold.

When did Iron Head Slave become one of us?

His name is Fei.

He's from the South Sea.

Many years ago,

I got acquainted with him.

Later, he was tricked by Master Wei

and was taken in as their Iron Head Slave.

I felt sorry for him.

I saw that he was homeless,

so I decided to take him in for a while.

It's just nice. You're taking Ge Pan to Baichuan Court

while I'm taking him to Pudu Temple

to find another old friend of his.

You talk so much nonsense.

You...

Who are you scolding?

How rude.

You don't have to argue with him.

It will degrade your status.

No.

We must set the rules.

How dare he.

I'm hungry.

Let's go back and eat something delicious first.

Wait for me.

You... Slow down. Wait for me.

I'm starving. What should we have for dinner?

Director Feng.

Ask your master

if he likes my pledge.

[Feng Pan]

The Rama Vessel?

Isn't it the Rama Vessel?

Di Feisheng lives up to his reputation indeed.

His first venture and he already cracked Yipin Tomb.

You are really good at scheming.

Even the great Di Feisheng

was manipulated and in the palm of your hand.

Someone who is intent on plotting against others, never realizes that someone is also plotting against them.

Good.

Master will be very happy to see the Rama Vessel.

If we work together,

there's nothing we can't accomplish.

[Lotus Tower Medical Center]

Do you have a mentor?

Do you fight with your fists or with swords?

Shall we spar next?

What's with that look?

I hate those who

act all mysterious the most.

You...

You're so weak,

yet you act like you're the best in the world.

How did you survive to this age?

Egomaniac, let me tell you.

I think you have a decent physique.

Why don't you become my disciple

and call me Master?

Then I can teach you

so that you won't get beaten up every day.

Your martial arts skills are average,

but you're quite bold.

Ridiculous.

My teacher is a powerful figure of the martial world,

the Sect Leader of the Sigu Sect, Li Xiangyi.

You should be happy you have the luxury of being

the grand-disciple of the best of the best.

He even has a disciple.

He must be out of his mind

to take in a loser like you.

Stop being stubborn.

We'll talk after you defeat your master.

Aren't you hungry?

Let's eat.

Li Lianhua.

Are you really going to keep him at the Lotus Tower?

Let me remind you.

That egomaniac has an irritating quality.

-He’ll get you into trouble.
-Fei knows how to act with discretion.

What's that smell?

What is this?

Are you studying new dishes again?

Wasn't the braised fish I adjusted for you yesterday

good?

That dish is already perfected.

So, naturally, I need to study new dishes.

I'll go pick a scallion from outside first.

Take this out for me.

And...

You're using me to test out your new dishes again.

Smells good.

Egomaniac.

Do you want to try Li Lianhua's new dish?

If you dare to finish it all at once,

I'll respect you as a real man.

If you attack me today,

I'll definitely not fight back.

Fine.

Wait.

Have you guys...

finished all the dishes already?

This is a three-day ration.

Him.

It's him.

He ate it all by himself.

Wait.

Didn't you say you have no sense of taste,

and you only eat white rice,

because everything tastes the same?

Let me tell you.

I didn't charge you for the food.

It turns out that you can't tell good food from bad food.

You tricked me on purpose.

You were the one who asked me to eat it.

I...

I spent 30 coins on the food.

It's time to rest.

There's only one guest room upstairs.

First come, first served.

The room on the second floor is the biggest.

It's big enough for you to live in together.

-No way.
-No way.

[Chayin Tower]

Second Court Master, I have news about Yipin Tomb.

You ordered for immediate reports,

so I dared not delay.

Ge Pan worked under me,

but I didn’t even realize he was up to something.

It was my negligence.

Why do you have to take responsibility for everything?

Ge Pan acted selfishly

and left Baichuan Court.

That was really unpredictable.

Luckily, Tianji Hall's Young Master Fang, who was present there,

and Lotus Tower's master Li Lianhua saw through him.

They are escorting Ge Pan

on the way to Baichuan Court.

He should bear the punishment he deserves.

Li Lianhua again?

Before, he chanced upon

Di Fengsheng, who left the borders after hiding for ten years.

Now he chanced upon

Xiling being broken into and the Weeping Guanyin being stolen.

What role is Li Lianhua playing in all this?

I'll get people to keep an eye on Lotus Tower.

Don't waste our men on that.

Isn't he coming?

There'll be a chance to investigate him.

When they arrive at Baichuan Court,

let me know immediately.

Yes.

We still have to do our best to follow Court Master's arrangement.

Ask all the sentries to keep an eye on the Jinyuan Alliance's movements.

Di Fengsheng got the Weeping Guanyin.

I'm afraid there will be another storm in the martial world.

[Wei Manor's Yipin Tomb]

[Lotus Tower]

What are you doing?

Why are you standing and acting cool there?

You're even wearing a face mask.

Li Lianhua said you don't dare to show your real face.

Why do I find it hard to believe?

How can an egomaniac like you be afraid of others?

Why are you so slow?

Do we have to climb up more to get to Baichuan Court?

I can't climb anymore.

Take them up first.

I'll ask Fei

to take me to Pudu Temple nearby for a rest.

Your stamina is too weak.

Eat some meat to replenish your health.

It's been more than ten days.

There's not a single meat soup.

Egomaniac.

Hurry and take him to Pudu Temple to rest.

and burn an incense for yourself while you're there,

to thank Buddha for blessing you such that you've survived up till now.

Go. Go. Go.

Let's go.

With Yangzhouman's power,

it shouldn't be so taxing for you to hike.

I really can't walk anymore.

Come.

Give me a hand.

You lost to me in the battle at the East Sea ten years ago.

The Sigu Sect fell apart

and you can't bounce back after just one setback.

I was wrong about you.

Life is unpredictable.

Entanglements are unintentional.

Look.

The scenery here is so beautiful.

Just treat it like I no longer have any desires.

Right now, I just want to find my senior's remains.

Let's split up later.

Go the monks at Pudu Temple and investigate

the whereabouts of Shi Hun.

I'll go check if there's any record on the name list.

Thanks.

Here.

Give me a hand. I really can't walk anymore.

[Pudu Temple]

Slowly.

Bhante.

How's it going about what I'd asked you?

What Shi Hun? What Huiyuan?

I know nothing about it.

Ever since you became the abbot,

your temper has been very bad.

Listen.

You need to cultivate yourself.

I was seeking for some peace and quiet,

but secular affairs are inherently disturbing.

No matter how good my cultivation is,

you'd still manage to infuriate me.

Are you aware of your physical condition?

That's why I'm anxious.

Bhante.

If you can't find Shi Hun,

I wouldn't be able to find my senior's remains.

Then, how can I face my master?

Besides,

I'm afraid I'll become a lonely wild ghost.

Look at you.

You've already thought about becoming a ghost.

So I'm really worried.

Can you stop being stubborn?

Who dares to be stubborn in front of the Almsgiver Li?

I thought you would come back after you made up your mind.

But you actually left for ten years.

I wrote to you once I heard some news.

Where is the letter?

Was it sent into the dog's stomach?

Letter?

You actually wrote to me?

You...

Where is the letter?

Was it you?

Bhante.

I don't have a fixed place to live.

I'm afraid it's lost.

You're being willful.

Then, I shortened your life to ten years,
but you didn't save yourself.

Now you should have one out of ten years left.

But your pulse

is much weaker than I expected.

It won't even last a year.

You should have gone back to Baichuan Court earlier.

Coincidentally,

everyone is there today.

All your old friends of Sigu Sect are here.

I'll take you back and vouch for your identity.

The martial arts world is huge.

If everyone put their heads together, they'll definitely figure a way to save you.

Why are you resisting me with your life?

In the year of Dingyou,

a greedy thief was

expelled from the temple.

Then, he joined the Jinyuan Alliance

and took on the name of Shi Hun.

It's recorded here.

You're so stubborn.

I really can't force you.

Did something happen in Baichuan Court?

I thought you're stone-hearted

and have completely erased your past.

So you still care about them.

I heard that

Yun Piqiu has been isolating himself in Baichuan Court for ten years.

I hastily guessed that

he was the one who poisoned you

with Bicha Poison then.

After he knew something happened to you,

Yun Biqiu regretted it so much,

so he rushed to the East Sea and searched for you for months but to no avail.

When Master Bai found him,

he had no intention to resist,

and was stabbed through the chest by Master Bai.

Fortunately, Master Ji found out that

he was indeed bewitched by the evil.

He didn't mean to hurt you.

So Master Ji sent someone to save him and made him stay.

But Yun Biqiu has been imprisoning himself for ten years,

and refuses to forgive himself.

Let me guess again.

It's not this matter that you can't let go of.

After all, what happened back then is like a chain reaction.

Someone has to let it go first.

Bhante.

You are really good at guessing.

But don't worry and talk about him anymore.

Tell me.

Did something happen to Baichuan Court?

Don't worry.

Baichuan Court is fine.

It just recently got a new sword.

So they

sent out invitations to all the friends of Sigu Sect

to a Sword-Appreciation Ceremony.

This sword

was your personal sword in the past,

the Shaoshi Sword.

Then, many people followed the Shaoshi Sword into the East Sea.

Several years later, someone went fishing in the East Sea

and recovered this sword.

After that, the sword was resold repeatedly

until it returned to Baichuan Court.

It'd been used by 43 hands.

The fate of a famous sword.

Don't you think

it's time the sword return to its owner?

This famous sword

will naturally find a good master.

What about people?

Forget about others.

There's someone you have to meet.

Miss Qiao is also in Baichuan Court.

All these years,

she has been going to the temple to pray for you every year,

but she never lit the Rebirth Lantern.

Because no matter what, she refused to believe

that you're dead.

All these years,

Mr. Xiao has been guarding her laboriously.

She's waiting intently for you,

but you refuse to return even though you're alive.

Don't you want to

resolve this misery?

Me not intervening

would be the best solution.

But you'll regret it in the end.

Life

is full of regrets.

It's been ten years.

There's nothing you can't let go.

And there's nothing that can't be solved.

I'm to blame for my incompetence.

I failed to persuade someone with a cold heart.

Bhante.

Would you answer my question now?

About Shi Hun of the Jinyuan Alliance?

Yes.

He's indeed Huiyuan who was expelled from Pudu Temple.

After the battle at the East Sea,

did you hear anything about Shi Hun?

When Baichuan Court was newly established,

they once captured the remnants of the defeated troops of Jinyuan Alliance from everywhere

and imprisoned hundreds of thousands men.

After that, Miss Qiao suggested

to release ordinary allies who have never done evil.

The name list of the released

was decided by Miss Qiao herself.

She must know who you are looking for.

The matters of the world are so mysterious.

You end up having to meet someone you don't want to.

Time to eat.

I cherish my life.

I never treat myself badly.

Come on.

Share the meal with me.

There's a new chef named Jingren in the temple.

He's quite a good cook.

Over the past half a month,

I've been eating a lot more.

I've sinned.

Oil paper,

and charcoal residue?

Come on.

Bhante.

Has your new cook been eating secretly?

I won't join you in the meal.

Goodbye.

How did your investigation go?

Over the past ten years,

there are no records of Shi Hun visiting Pudu Temple.

Qiao Wanmian is the only clue now.

I'll go if you don't want to.

Don't worry.

We'll definitely figure everything out.

Director Di.

Now that you have no inner power,

you should keep a low profile.

[Baichuan Court]

For today's Sword-Appreciation Ceremony at Baichuan Court,

you need an invitation or referrer to enter.

Li Lianhua.

You came.

Yes.

It's the Sword-Appreciation Ceremony.

Fei insisted on joining in the fun.

By the way,

this is my friend.

He got quite famous recently.

He's the master of Lotus Tower, Li Lianhua.

As for this,

he's just a handyman.

I'll be the referrer and bring them in.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let me take you to a place.

Come on.

Before the Sword-Appreciation Ceremony,

let me formally introduce someone to you.

This is the portrait of my master, Li Xiangyi.

It looks quite ordinary.

It can really ward off evil spirits.

Watch your mouth.

Be careful.

Since Baichuan Court was established,

his portrait has been hung up here.

It's been ten years.

No one can forget him.

By the way,

do you have candy with you?

Give me two.

What are you looking at?

I know you like candy.

Don't be stingy. Hurry up.

One more.

I only have one. Take it or leave it.

I bring him some every time I come here.

In everyone's eyes,

he is the sect leader of Sigu Sect, Li Xiangyi.

Many people rely on him

and many people want to challenge him.

But not many people

really paid attention to his preferences.

Let me tell you secretly.

I've seen him

avoiding everyone to eat candy secretly.

Who would have thought

the number one martial artist Li Xiangyi

would be as happy as a child when eating candy?

Come to think of it,

-you are quite similar to my master...
-He’s not.

Not what?

In the great battle at the East Sea,

Li Xiangyi lost.

He should be the second best.

Are you saying Li Xiangyi lost to Di Fengsheng?

Did you witness it?

They fought at sea.

Where were you?

Are you a Fish Spirit or a Turtle Spirit?

Stop arguing.

Did you hear that?

It's about to start.

Let's go.

Don't talk nonsense.

There has been no news of the Shaoshi Sword for ten years.

It was found and reappeared

only because of the help of all my friends in the martial world.

More fortunately, we had two old friends who ran around with all their might.

So, it's Miss Qiao and Mr. Xiao

who found the Shaoshi Sword.

♫I'm only getting into character after half of my life♫

♫The youth can't be friends♫

♫Let bygones be bygones♫

♫The customer dressed in white and asking for wine enters the banquet gracefully♫

♫Smiling foolishly without speaking♫

♫So much affection that it's endless♫

♫The long night accompanies the moon on the rooftop♫

♫Push aside the clouds to count the stars♫

♫Old worries are so far away yet so close♫

♫Since ancient times, how many heroes could♫

♫gamble their lives♫

♫to win against the odds of love♫

♫Ask a question about the joys and sorrows of the lotus flower♫

♫Break a sword and throw it into the mud♫

♫Only when you're over your worries♫

♫Can you live up to all beings♫

After all these years,

to have found the Shaoshi Sword that never left Xiangyi's hand,

we're also very comforted.

Today, I hope the people of the martial arts world

don't forget the ideal of punishing evil, promoting good

and bringing peace to the world.

So that we don't let Xiangyi down.
