[Episode 7]

Help! Someone is dead!

Hurry up! Help!

Someone is dead!

Hurry up!

Look! He's over there.

What's going on? Tell us.

Didn't you leave me behind?

I heard some noise outside. So I came out to have a look.

Then I saw him hanging up there and I was so scared.

He's dead.

The bruise on his neck is the fatal wound.

He was strangled by iron chains.

Puppet Li does keep his word.

He kidnapped and killed Jiang Cen while we were at the beach.

He shouldn't have broken the rules.

He had offended Puppet Li. He brought it upon himself.

Even so,

how could he kill his guest with such a cruel method in his own house?

This is too much.

Did Puppet Li really do this?

For safety, we need to figure out something first.

What kind of a person is Puppet Li?

Twenty years ago,

I met Puppet Li once.

He helped me back then.

I don't think he was killed by Puppet Li.

I'd seen his record before he left Zhongyuan.

I can't remember clearly but in my impression,

he's a great craftsman.

He doesn't look like someone who loves to kill.

He doesn't like to kill.

Maybe it's because he has been on the island for a long time,

he got lonely and started to be a pervert.

He is yet to be a pervert. He still holds on to his principles.

He killed Jiang Cen because Jiang Cen disobeyed the rules.

We all are fine, aren't we?

Why don't we ask him out to clear the air?

Hold that thought.

If he wanted to talk,

he wouldn't have hung up a corpse for display.

Miss Shi Liu is right.

He doesn't want to talk to us.

He is missing in action.

I think Jiang Cen's death has nothing to do with us.

Let's solve the puzzle quickly.

After getting the treasure, we can just leave as soon as possible.

- Agree?
- Agree.

Agree.

Old geezer!

Okay.

It's too troublesome. I agree.

I disagree.

If we want to know Puppet Li's personality,

we don't need to see him in person.

What do you mean?

Because there is an old acquaintance of Puppet Li among us,

and he lied to us.

Boatman, do you want to tell us

or do you want me to force you to say it?

I didn't lie to you.

Zhao.

I didn't lie to you.

You won't tell the truth, right?

What happened? Don't force me to break your leg.

Move over there.

I'll tell you.

From now on, you have to answer truthfully

to all the questions that I'll ask you.

Have you ever seen Puppet Li?

I've seen him before.

We know each other very well.

- Zhao.
- You're not telling the truth, right?

I'll tell you the truth.

Please don't kill me.

Yes, I lied to you.

- I'll kill...
- Zhao,

let him finish his sentence.

I've never seen Puppet Li.

This is my first time on this island, too.

It was about a month ago,

an uninvited guest came to my house.

He gave me a lot of money.

He asked me to do something for him.

I was a bit scared and we were also of two minds at that time.

But there was a lot of money right in front of my eyes.

He said that I'd get 100 taels extra for every passenger I brought to the island.

So I...

Do you remember what he looked like?

I was blindfolded.

He told me that his name was Puppet Li.

That's all I know.

Please let me go, will you?

You can't go anywhere until things get sorted out.

Puppet Li is so complicated.

I don't think he is complicated at all.

Some people couldn't solve the puzzle,

but they didn't want to go back empty-handed.

They've bad intentions toward Puppet Li and messed up the rules of the game.

So they got killed.

They deserved punishment.

That's a possibility.

What do you mean a possibility?

Young fellow, this is how it should be.

It's normal for people to go after treasure rather than a human's life.

Jiang Cen's death is the best example, isn't it?

There aren't many people who can act as calm as us.

What do you think?

So, I'd say,

at times like this, we must be united.

We should trust each other, right?

I have a suggestion.

Let's gather all the items that we have found.

That's the only way to complete the puzzle and task in the shortest time.

Then, we can call Puppet Li out.

We can share the treasure.

Good to share.

The drinker is the most sober person.

If during this time, we still have doubts among each other,

it's not a big deal that we can't solve the puzzle,

probably, each of us here...

won't be able to leave this island alive.

Jian, I think Puppet Li is a sensible person.

As long as we don't provoke him,

he won't come to kill us.

So, we should stop thinking about Puppet Li.

Let's start to solve the puzzle, all right?

Okay!

Since we have the same opinion,

let's solve the puzzle together!

As I said,

as long as we work together,

it's not hard to find those six fragments.

If you find the other fragments,

you can give them to me.

I swear, with my personality,

I'd share the treasure evenly.

I have no ulterior motive.

I'll keep it for now.

Give it back to me.

What's wrong with you, old geezer?

This is what I found.

Return it to me.

I don't care who found it, it's with me now,

I don't want to give it to you.

I'm telling you, at times like this, don't cause unnecessary trouble.

For the benefit of everyone,

it's possible that I might kill you.

Young fellow, don't simply threaten to kill people.

Aren't you afraid that you'll get yourself into trouble?

May I ask? What is your title in this martial world?

Fingers Bone, Walking Stick Sword.

Are you Fairy Sheng?

You're the wanted criminal who is worth a bounty of 100,000 gold?

Yes, I am.

Guys, do you hear that?

He is Fairy Sheng, the wanted criminal in the martial world.

Everyone wants to kill him.

If we kill him, we'll share the bounty.

How much?

One hundred thousand.

It doesn't matter where I hide, you all want to kill me.

Why don't...

I just kill all of you?

Who should I kill first?

I'm only in charge of records.

I don't need money.

Did you hear that?

He's going to kill all of us and own the treasure all by himself.

Maybe he's the one who killed Jiang Cen, too.

Your friend got beaten up,

aren't you going to help him?

According to the historical office's rules, we can only watch and record the event.

We can't take part in the disputes,

so I only know the levitation skill.

That's not good!

Sir, do you want to die here?

The young fellow who doesn't know martial arts,

are you talking about me?

Sir Fairy Sheng, you're right, I don't know martial arts,

but you can't take any life today.

Do you know how to pilot a boat?

You said you wanted to kill us.

Why don't I kill him first?

It's none of my business.

Shut up!

Even if you had gotten us all killed,

you've gathered all the props on the island.

What's the point if no one pilots the boat for you?

Do you want to grow old with Puppet Li on this island?

I didn't expect you would threaten me in this way.

We're here to find Puppet Li.

We're not here to catch the wanted criminal.

Let's put aside the matters of the martial world.

Let's solve the puzzle...

and everyone will get their wish granted.

Am I right, Hao Zouyun?

There is neither bounty nor reward, but there are friends.

Young fellow, you're a sensible person.

This time, I'll listen to you.

I found out that you're a top-notch player,

but I also found out about your weakness.

What is it?

You've memorized a lot of chess manuals,

but you rarely play with another person.

How do you know?

You don't know about human nature.

Human nature?

There's no emotion in the chess manual.

It won't tell you your opponent's thoughts.

Thought determines the moves of your opponent.

That's why... you can only rely on the chess manuals...

to count all the possibilities.

They were fighting just now, weren't they?

Now, they are talking about chess.

The top-notch player's way of thinking is unique.

Since they can't defeat each other, they'd rather be friends.

Otherwise, it would be an awkward and unpleasant situation.

You were saying that the drunkard is an expert, too?

He is really drunk now. He'll be scared when he is sober tomorrow.

All right,

let's stop eavesdropping.

We're not thieves.

I mean, since they are getting along well, let's go.

- I'm leaving.
- What are you planning to do?

I'm looking for someone.

Who are you looking for?

Puppet Li?

Don't act recklessly.

I think he is going to flirt with girls.

How do you know?

A curious guy like me is more meticulous.

So, you're here... because you are curious about Puppet Li's treasure.

The treasure is nothing to me. I'm here to hide from someone.

People whom you've stolen things from?

People who had their hearts stolen by me.

This...

It started when I was a kid.

It's the same for martial arts competitions.

All martial arts moves are unpredictable.

The moment you attack,

you have to calculate all the possible moves of your opponent.

No matter how fast your brain works,

it won't work as fast as his weapon.

This is the fatal weakness I've been talking about.

Then, Sir, how can I be faster than his weapon?

- Prediction.
- Prediction?

Be familiar with human nature.

Think about what their moves are going to be in advance.

Give tit-for-tat and counter their attacks.

During the competition, even they have millions of martial arts techniques.

In a certain situation,

they can only choose one or two types of techniques.

Sometimes, only one technique is used.

If you guess correctly, your opponent must be on the losing end.

How can I learn about human nature?

Just like martial arts,

you need a lot of practice.

Just now, you were accurate in searching for my dead acupoint.

But... you were just lucky.

You have to see this kind of insight as a habit...

to make up for your weakness.

You are from a family of scholars.

How did you end up on this path?

My family legacies were government officials.

My parents sent me to school since I was young.

When I was 23 years old, I became a scholar.

I didn't have to study anymore,

but no matter what I did,

I wasn't happy at all.

One day,

I found out that I was happy when I stole things.

Such as stealing time and chances.

As long as I steal, be it eating and sleeping,

I'm happy as long as I did it by stealing, you know?

You're sick, right?

Then?

Then I thought...

"Why can't people live their lives happily?"

"Why can't we do what we like?"

So, I left the capital without saying goodbye.

I started to live my life as a thief, but there's one thing...

I would never steal.

Women's hearts.

How do you know?

I wrote down what you just said.

Look, I stole a lot of women's hearts.

I found out that once women have fallen for you,

they will keep chasing after you.

They will gamble the rest of their lives on bad guys.

They are the gamblers, you know?

So... I left them and came to this island.

But there is nothing much for me to steal on this island.

But I thought sneaking some attacks...

can be considered as a kind of stealing, right?

You want to be an assassin?

It isn't impossible.

But for my first assassination,

if I take Puppet Li as my target,

isn't it too much for me to handle?

It's really too much for you.

You'd better just be a thief.

I don't want to record your time of death in this notebook.

Thank you.

This is the first time in my life that I have had such a huge realization.

No wonder so many people in the martial world couldn't defeat you.

It's just an illusion.

They just couldn't figure out what moves I was using to fight.

When you are facing an unexpected situation,

you will be caught off guard.

It has nothing to do with speed.

You can do it, too.

Do you want to try?

How can I try?

You need to find a rival.

You are here.

Old geezer, what are you talking about in the late night?

Something isn't right.

Why are you two staring at me?

What are you doing?

You should find someone who doesn't know martial arts to fight with him.

I'm with good martial arts.

What if I hurt him?

We've thought of all the suitable candidates.

Your martial arts skill is the worst among them.

Don't reject us.

We are here to let Jian

to try the advantages of having predictions.

Can you use better words?

My martial arts skill is the worst among them?

After all, people in the martial world call me...

You should look for Ming Yue.

She has the worst martial arts skill.

I can't control my inner power.

I won't care if I blast him off.

Don't worry, I have an idea.

Come on. Open your mouth.

- What are you doing?
- Open your mouth.

Old geezer, what did you feed me?

It's First Entry Martial World Pill, after taking it...

it will burn out your inner power.

You're like a kid who just entered the martial world,

just in case your inner power will blast him off during the fight.

Old geezer, are you a medicine seller or a martial arts expert?

Why would you have a strange pill like this?

I was forced to do so.

I've been staying at home for a long time.

When I feel like killing someone, I would eat one of these.

Then, I wouldn't dare to go out.

It looks like the medicine is working.

Let me tell you.

Although I don't have inner power,

I'm going to show you the Hao's secret sword skill.

Mr. Jian, sorry if I offend you.

Come on.

Take that!

What a sharp eye. This is a fake move.

He actually wants to attack my lower body.

Let me go with his moves.

Why does it hurt so much?

It's true.

Don't bother about his moves during the first round,

just take a step forward and hit him on his head.

Is it that simple?

It's that simple.

After a thousand times of practices,

the best cover-up is no cover-up.

This is the prediction that I've told you about.

Hao Zouyun, can you do it again?

Bring it on! I'm fearless.

If I can't even beat a guy who doesn't know martial arts,

how am I going to survive in the martial world? Bring it on!

I won't be easy on you this time.

I'm taking the initiative this time.

I'll attack first.

Don't blame me for being sneaky.

I quit. I quit!

You guys go ahead, I'm off to hunt the treasure.

He just quits like this.

That's the advantage of the prediction.

You can always get ahead of him.

Now, you get it, right?

I got it, Sir.

I've checked all the places in the west.

I didn't find anything.

There isn't even a cave in which to hide.

The south is where the boats stop.

I've searched around and it was clean.

We've left the north-east and east sides of the island.

We have to check them out tonight.

If we can't find where Puppet Li is hiding,

I'll have to make a breakthrough.

Is the historian, Sima Dang, all right?

The King of Thieves is with him.

This is a good thing for us.

Tonight, we will act together.

I'll go to the north-east corner and you go to the east.

Okay, let's go now.

Let's do it now.

Miss Ming Yue. Miss Ming Yue.

Miss Ming Yue.

Get rid of him. Don't let him disrupt our plan.

You go first.

Miss Shi Liu, I'm looking for Miss Ming Yue.

What do you want to tell her? Just let me know.

I don't want to trouble you.

You're not going to say something lewd, are you?

No.

I'm here to thank Miss Ming Yue.

You saw it just now.

She even risked her life to shield me from the sword.

She has saved my life.

I was busy taking care of my brothers and I didn't thank her there.

So here I am.

I've got your appreciation.

I'll pass on your message.

Please leave.

I owe her a huge one; I have to thank her in person.

She's asleep.

Do you want me to wake her up?

No, I'll come again tomorrow.

Are you interested in Ming Yue?

How can you say that?

Yes, I like her.

She is taken.

I'm not surprised, because she is such a nice lady.

Is that guy good enough for her?

He is more handsome and better at martial arts than you.

He is from a noble family.

Ming Yue will have a good life.

Since she has such a good fiancé,

Ming Yue came here to search for her brother,

why didn't he come with her?

Why would he let her come to a dangerous place like here?

I don't think he is good enough.

I would never give her to a nobody like you.

Who is a nobody?

Listen! I'm going to be a hero, Master Zhao Wohuan, in the future.

All right.

Mr. Great Future Hero,

show me how capable you are.

If you want to see her, you have to fight me first.

I have a principle, I'dllnever fight with a woman.

But for Miss Yue, bring it on!

- Why are you so surprised?
- There's someone in the forest.

All I see is darkness.

I'll take a look.

That's strange. Where did he go?

This woman is strong.

How is it possible? Why can't I threaten her?

You're using blind force and you're full of flaws.

You can't even protect yourself, yet you want to protect Ming Yue.

Who is she? I don't want to lose.

Just give up.

Your martial arts skill is not up to my level.

You will be dead if you keep fighting with me.

I'm going to be serious this time.

Is he out of his mind?

She's right. I can't fight her. What to do?

Mr. Great Future Hero, are you all right?

Just surrender.

You can't even beat a woman.

How are you going to protect Ming Yue?

Why did you come back so early?

Did the historian get you?

No, but his levitation skill is too good.

We have to be extra careful.

Let's talk when he's asleep.

I'll go search later tonight;

you stay here.

Why?

I'm afraid Zhao Wohuan will come back again.

Are you still afraid of him?

I'm afraid I will kill him...

and you will kill me.

Brothers, look at what I found.

Old geezer's tooth.

I found one, too.

A toe.

Let me see.

Now, Mr. Jian has found Fatty Bai's hand.

Fairy Sheng found Strong Man's nose.

We found two more today.

So, as long as we are able to find the old woman's eyeball,

and an unknown object from the girl,

we can get all the six fragments!

It's easier said than done.

The searching will definitely become harder.

You have to be confident in the things that you do.

Mr. Jian, everyone has worked hard today.

I'll go back to sleep now. Let's continue tomorrow.

I'll go back for a drink.

Aren't you going to sleep?

I'm not going to sleep yet.

I want to find Handy Tang.

You may go to sleep first.

Take care.

Jian.

Zhao.

What happened to you?

Didn't you go to see Ming Yue?

Why are you so cold?

Zhao.

Why are you so hot?

Zhao.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have lied to you.

Actually, I'm not good at martial arts.

I shouldn't have come out to explore the martial world.

Don't say that.

On this journey, if it wasn't for you,

I could have been killed a long time ago.

When I was young,

I lived in a small village at the foot of Mount Wangwu.

Back then, my father went to wander around the martial world all the time.

Everyone in the village knew that he was a hero.

He had great martial arts skills.

He punished the bad guys in the martial world.

He did a lot of great deeds.

Because I was the son of a hero,

everyone respected me.

Moreover, I was born with divine power.

I'd never lost in a fight.

I was very proud.

I thought I'd become a hero when I grew up.

Until I was fifteen,

I left the village to look for my father.

I found him at a tavern.

He was telling stories.

He used his experience from the martial world...

to make up stories and share them with everyone.

He had never been in the martial world.

He was not a martial arts expert.

He was a storyteller in the tavern.

He didn't do any heroic acts.

Even those thugs and drunkards,

he couldn't even teach them any lessons.

He lied to me.

He lied to my mother and deceived everyone in the village.

When I found out about this news,

I was devastated.

Did you tell your mother the truth?

If I did, she would be wretched.

I kept it a secret.

Since then, I started to do everything I could

to learn martial arts by myself and train hard on sword skills.

Everyone saw my hard work.

They thought that I had my father's legacy...

after meeting him.

I just wanted to be a swordsman as soon as possible.

I wanted to outshine my father's fame.

That's the only way for them to remember me and forget about him.

So I could overcome this humiliation.

No wonder all the names of your skills sound so good.

They're all from the storytelling.

I can only use these to scare people.

But you have divine power.

There aren't many people who can beat you.

Eventually, I really thought that I was a martial arts expert.

Until tonight,

I ran into Shi Liu and she attacked me.

All her moves were fatal.

It was Shi Liu.

She made me reveal my true self.

She made me realize that I've only got divine power,

but nothing else.

Do you also think that...

I'm useless?

I really want to win.

Because I really want to see Ming Yue.

She is mute and weak.

I couldn't believe she would dare to shield a sword attack for me.

And I saw her eyes.

They were very determined.

Enough, Zhao.

Winning or losing is normal during a fight.

I think Miss Ming Yue will understand you.

At least you were able to meet your father.

Who cares if he's a hero or a storyteller?

Unlike me, when I first saw my father,

he was in a pool of blood.

I didn't even have a chance to talk to him.

I wanted to know what kind of person he was,

but I could only guess from his diaries.

Jian, I'm sorry.

I reminded you of your sad past.

Although your father has gone,

you still have me as your brother.

I want to be your sworn brother.

What's wrong?

You're the young master of Shenji Valley,

I'm a nobody... in the martial world.

You're from a prestigious family.

Don't you mind...

being the brother of a nobody?

To be brothers,

firstly, I'd consider attitudes, then personality.

Lastly, it's all about fate.

If I were only concerned about good martial arts skills,

what's the difference from doing a trade?

What about loyalty?

I don't know martial arts.

I only know... I want to be your best brother.

Here's to the Almighty and our late fathers.

I, Jian Buzhi.

I, Zhao Wohuan.

We swear to be brothers.

From now on, we put our lives in each other's hands.

Let's explore the martial world and do good deeds together.

We swear to share happiness and difficulties...

I will take all the difficulties.

Zhao, I want to give you a present.

What present?

Take a good look.

The Li family's swordplay techniques.

From now on, you'll have to work hard on your own.
