[Mirror: A Tales of Twin Cities]

[Episode 27]

The Heavenly Ring seems to sense something.

It should be right in there.

I've found it.

Why won't the door open? Is it a trap?

It doesn't look like a trap.

Why is that?

I don't know.

It must be blocked from the inside.

Let me do it.

Your Highness, let me do it.

This tunnel does look strange.

How are you going to do it?

Xi Jing, ever since we got to Jiuyi Mountain,

you've been shielding me at every moment.

Look at you. You're ready to die at any time.

If you keep doing this, I'll really be mad at you.

I don't want...

I don't want to see anyone else leave me.

- Your Highness. - Enough.

It's better that I do it.

No matter what, it's my ancestors lying inside.

They should at least protect their descendants, right?

Na Sheng, come here.

I-I'm still upset.

Na Sheng.

It's all right.

Na Sheng, I couldn't control my emotions just now.

I'm sorry.

I know.

Brother Crown Prince,

to you, the hundred thousand people are important.

But in my heart, I only have Sister Bai Ying.

That's why... we must hurry up.

Maybe we'll still have a chance to save them.

You only have one sister Bai Ying.

I only have one Princess Bai.

I won't stand by and watch her die.

Therefore...

Therefore, I know that this is not the time to fuss.

Good, Na Sheng.

Everyone else, move aside.

Everyone, remember.

There are many mechanisms in the tomb.

You must be careful.

Is that water above us?

This place is under weak water, so that should be the Ruo River.

Why doesn't the water come down here?

There's a barrier set up above. Otherwise, the tomb wouldn't have been established under the water.

Li Zhu!

- Your Highness. - Follow her and take a look. Be careful.

Yes.

What happened to Li Zhu?

Don't worry about her for now. We must find the seal.

Na Sheng!

Na Sheng. Na Sheng!

Brother Crown Prince!

[Heavenly King's Tomb]

- Na Sheng! Na Sheng! - Na Sheng!

Na Sheng!

Mountains and rivers are silent forever?

This is probably the Heavenly King's calligraphy.

Na Sheng!

Na Sheng!

Xi Jing, over here!

Na Sheng.

- Na Sheng. - Na Sheng.

She's passed out.

- Na Sheng. - Hurry and wake up.

- Na Sheng! - Wake up, Na Sheng.

Na Sheng!

- Let go of me! Let go of me! - Na Sheng.

It's us.

Brother Crown Prince, someone just...

someone just abducted me. He also wanted to take my ring!

All right now. It's fine.

Why did they want your ring?

I don't know either. Just that he was pulling my hands.

And then I passed out.

Get up.

What is this place?

The Heavenly King's tomb.

Huh?

What is this?

It's the Heavenly King's coffin.

Oh yes! It's right here, right here.

He dragged me into this place.

And the closer I got, the more the Heavenly Ring would start to shine.

Why doesn't the Heavenly Ring shine anymore?

What's going on?

Na Sheng, come here.

Hand.

Your Highness. Na Sheng. Be careful.

This coffin's been moved before.

Someone's opened it already.

This is the Heavenly King's tomb. How can someone have moved the coffin already?

Open it up and see.

- Na Sheng. - Na Sheng.

Your Highness, what do you see?

[Mountains and Rivers are Silent Forever]

My descendant.

When you open the coffin, life and death will overlap;

the starting point and the ending point overlap.

Everything will be reincarnated, just like the mirror's reflection.

Your Highness, are you all right?

What memory is this?

Why does the Heavenly King have my face?

Queen Bai Wei also looked identical to A'Ying.

Did someone kill Bai Wei?

Your Highness, what exactly did you see?

Bro-Brother Crown Prince, don't scare me. What's the matter?

I just saw the Heavenly King, he...

What's happening?

There is no Six Directions Seal in here.

The Heavenly King's skeletal remains aren't here either. This is an empty coffin.

Who was the one that abducted me just now then?

Who would be so daring?

Could it be... a treasure hunter?

That's not possible.

If it's really as Li Zhu said,

no one could have come here through the Life Death Pavilion all these years.

There's only one possibility.

It's someone from the inside.

Then, who was the person that abducted me just now?

It's a ghost! A ghost!

[Mountains and Rivers are Silent Forever]

Ever since we entered here, someone used the opportunity to abduct Na Sheng,

and then used Na Sheng's ring to open this coffin.

I keep feeling something is wrong.

This coffin's design looks like it's waiting for someone to open it.

[Mountains and Rivers are Silent Forever]

Who exactly was waiting? Who was supposed to open it?

It looks like there are other people in the tomb.

Their goal is also the Six Directions Seal.

Qing Yuan?

Go take a look.

Na Sheng, chant an invisibility spell. When it's safe, come out.

All right. You must be careful.

All right.

- Li Zhu! - Don't waste your strength!

Witch! You actually entered the Heavenly King's tomb.

I should have executed you all those years ago.

How could the King of Jiuyi let something like you live?

This is Heavenly King's tomb. How dare you to barge in!

I'd like to ask you who you are.

He's our Qing Clan's tomb keeper.

But why are you the only one here?

Over the past hundred years, the tomb keepers either ran away or died.

There aren't many of us left!

As long as my old body is still here, don't you dare think you can barge in!

This is Kongsang's crown prince!

Kongsang already perished 100 years ago.

What Crown Prince are you talking about?

Since it's already perished, why are you still guarding these memorial tablets?

We guard for the kings!

For the King of Kongsang or the Qing Clan?

Even if it's for the Qing Clan, it's still for Kongsang!

Whether you acknowledge me or not,

our goal is the same.

[Memorial Tablets of the Deceased]

Where is the Six Directions Seal? Did you move the Heavenly King's skeletal remains?

Skeletal remains? Right from the start, there have never been any skeletal remains of the king.

How is that possible?

If there are no skeletal remains,

where is Heavenly King's real body?

Watch out!

Don't go after him anymore. The Heavenly King's tomb is like an ants nest.

Without the map, even if Li Zhui were to guide us, we'd still get lost.

He's deliberately trying to lure us into the dark.

Who are you?

There seems to be someone inside. Everyone, be careful.

A'Ying? Su Mo?

You're... still alive.

What's happening?

Previously, at the Life and Death Pavilion,

the Splitting Sword could split the mist. I thought maybe it could split the Ruo River.

But...

We'd better hurry and meet up with the others.

Su Mo! Thank you.

What is there to thank me for?

From now on, don't say things like "sorry" and "thank you."

After we leave Jiuyi, I have something to tell you.

All right, I'll wait for you.

We saw light ahead of us, so we followed this passage over here and saw him.

Sister Bai Ying! This is great. You're both still alive!

You can't scare me like this anymore.

All right. I've made you worry.

- Don't worry. I'm fine. - That's good.

I've let Your Highness worry.

I trust you've been well since we saw each other last, Su Mo.

A'Ying!

It's Prince Qing Chen!

Where is he? Who was that person?

Prince Qing Chen.

Didn't he die 100 years ago?

It appears that he's been living here for the past hundred years.

There was no news about him for a hundred years, it's because he's been subsisting in this tomb.

Your Highness, is that the Six Directions Seal?

Why isn't the Heavenly Ring reacting?

Run!

- Are you all right? - You're injured!

It's fine. Come.

What happened, Brother Ice Cube? What's going on?

- That seal... - That wasn't a seal.

Na Sheng's Heavenly Ring didn't light up.

It means that this was a trap set up by Qing Chen.

Where is the real seal then?

He must have it on him.

Be careful!

It's not safe here. Everyone, follow me.

- Hurry! - Let's go!

I'll hold the door. Leave this way.

- Quick! Quick! - Uncle Xi Jing!

- Sister Bai Ying! Sister Bai Ying! - Hurry, let's go!

Where is my Perched Star Lamp? The Perched Star Lamp is still inside!

I'll get it.

- Go! - Hurry and go!

We're blocked here, too.

What do we do then? We've already been through the Life and Death Pavilion.

This is still a dead end.

How is it?

Thank you, Emperor of the Sea, for helping me retrieve the Perched Star Lamp.

The explosion injured him and also triggered a backlash.

I used the "Catching Turtles in the Urn" strategy.

What do you all think?

What's that voice?

Qing Chen.

The tomb is about to collapse.

None of you will survive. All of you will die here.

It looks like Qing Chen has activated all the mechanisms in the underground palace.

- It cannot be reversed. - What will happen?

To protect against grave robbers, the mechanisms will shut all exits.

No one can get out.

The explosion of Qing Cheng's fake seal broke one of the foundations of the underground palace.

So the entire underground palace will probably collapse.

Li Zhu, you lured us to here.

You must have left yourself an exit. Where is it?

Let me try.

[Mountains and Rivers are Silent Forever]

[Mountains and Rivers are Silent Forever]

Why is it like this? This isn't possible. It's what he told me to do.

Who told you?

Qing Jun. He told me that when it's urgent, I can stick the Perched Star Lamp on the stone pillar.

Use the magic power to imitate the Silence word.

This way, the cave will open up a passageway to escape.

Qing Jun has never found a way to enter the Heavenly King's tomb.

How would he know how to get out?

That's right. Right from the start, he intended for you to be buried here.

Li Zhu, why did you lure us here?

What is the pact between you and Qing Jun?

Li Zhu.

Tell everyone.

Extinguish the light.

You told us earlier that this was your choice.

That's why I didn't expose you. But now that things are already like this,

are you still going to trust Qing Jun?

The Dark Golden Classics say

this tomb is equipped with extremely powerful techniques and barriers.

Only the Heavenly King's Perched Star Lamp can light this place up.

It also takes someone special to light the Perched Star Lamp.

Right, right! I couldn't make that lamp light up, but it does in her hands!

This light is...

the life of the lamp bearer.

So terrifying.

The longer the light is on, the the life of the bearer will be consumed.

You've been holding the lamp for a long time already. Even if you completed Qing Jun's mission,

you'd still die when the Perched Star Lamp goes out.

Li Zhu...

What on earth is it that you're willing to sacrifice your life for?

Li Zhu, do you really want to

give up your life for this light?

Qing Jun and I put on this act,

because Qing Jun promised me...

that as long as I lit the Perched Star Lamp,

led you all to the underpass

and killed Qing Chen,

he would set my family free.

He and I made a blood pact!

But he...

he actually planned from the beginning to have me buried here!

Why?

I've done everything I could,

I only wanted to be free.

Even if I have one day to live,

I still want to go back to the sea.

Sister Li Zhu. Sister Li Zhu, I'm sorry.

Before... Before, I made you angry.

I can destroy the lamp for you.

I can also kill Qing Jun and save your family.

Because in your veins is Quanxian blood,

I must bring you home.

Li Zhu, do you believe me,

yourself,

or Qing Jun?

It's up to you.

I believe you, Emperor of the Sea.

Thank you, Emperor of the Sea.

General, the rocks for sealing the gates have already been moved over here.

Hold on.

[Qing Chen - Kongsang's King of Jiuyi]

I don't know why you brought me here, what do you want to say?

General Yu Huan, please follow me to see someone.

Who?

The real King of Jiuyi.

Greetings, King of Jiuyi.

Yu Huan greets King of Jiuyi.

General, you've really lived up to your name.

You could tell the medicine was for me.

When I brought the medicine over,

Qing Jun didn't seem to care.

So I realized he wasn't the one needing the medicine.

Also, he wasn't familiar with the changes in Jiuyi Mountain.

The soldiers of the Qing Clan didn't really protect him, so I concluded

the real King of Jiuyi was someone else.

Lord Zhi Zhe sent you here alone.

Do you have any follow-up plans for catching Su Mo and Zhen Lan?

In my opinion, why don't we turn it around...

by luring them to the tomb?

Why?

It's hard to enter the Heavenly King's tomb

and it's even harder to get out of there.

Then let the Temple Guardian stay in the tomb and make them take the bait.

In my judgment, you should be the bait.

If someone else did it,

Su Mo likely wouldn't easily fall for it.

If you're worried, you can keep the Six Directions Seal with you.

If you have the Six Directions Seal, Su Mo won't do anything to you.

The Six Directions Seal...

is kept in the coffin, which can only be opened

with the Heavenly Ring.

Greetings, King of Jiuyi.

- King of Jiuyi? - King of Jiuyi?

As you expected,

killing two birds with one stone and catching a turtle in an urn.

[Jiuyi Mountain - Left Peak]

Everyone, be ready for an ambush at this cliff.

- Yes! - Hold on!

Who are you?

I'm a General of Cangliu, Fei Lian.

Nonsense. You dare to impersonate me?!

[Command Token]

I have Master Lang's Jialing token.

Who dares to disobey me?

It's real.

General, can we see your token?

You were that woman who threw herself at me!

Who's a woman? How dare you be so rude to me!

Arrest him!

What are you waiting for!

- Who should we listen to? - You thief.

I'll catch you.

Captain, do we need to help out?

What for? Do you know who they are?

Why can't we break the barrier after trying so many things?

Weak water on top and souls below. This barrier

was reinforced by Kongsang's ancestors.

It's unbreakable; otherwise, weak water will flow down the barrier as it breaks

and ruin the Heavenly King's coffin and memorial tablets for the different kings.

What should we do then? We're not going to die here, are we?

Neither the Heavenly Ring nor the Sword of Light is of any use!

If we keep fighting like this, there won't be an end to it.

Why don't we go our separate ways? You look for Yu Huan and I'll go look for Young Master.

How does that sound?

Be careful.

Thank you.

The ground isn't shaking anymore.

Does it mean the mountain won't collapse?

What's going on?

What... What is it?

What's this?

Wait! It's Tu Luo. Don't hurt her.

Tu Luo?

This is Tu Luo?

She's a merperson, who saved me and Su Mo in the Misty Forest.

Greetings, Emperor of the Sea. I'm late.

How did you get hurt?

After the Misty Forest, I was ordered to look for Bai Lin.

I saw her and the General of Cangliu plotting something.

When she left alone, I caught her.

But she escaped after ripping up all the vines. I don't know her whereabouts.

You mean Lin'er? Why would she be so cruel?

Why would I lie to you?

Tu Luo, since you are able to get into the underground palace,

could you show us the way out?

It's you?

Miss Tu Luo, what's wrong?

Don't you remember me?

Have we met before?

I was mistaken. You couldn't possibly be him.

But... you...

you both look so much alike.

We... Who do we look like?

This is fate.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Turns out even garbage found its way in!

Li Zhu, you really deserve to die.

- Move aside. - What are you doing?

It's not your turn to talk.

Emperor of the Sea, she's the one who tricked everyone into coming here!

Don't blame her.

She was deceived by Qing Jun, too.

You know the way down the mountain after I open the passage, right?

If you dare betray me, I will capture your father and brother and bring them to Misty Forest

and reduce them to the most pitiful monsters.

Emperor of the Sea, in a moment, I'll open a passage leading to the back of the mountain.

This way everyone will be able to leave Jiuyi Mountain.

All right.

Once the mechanism opens, it won't close.

Su Mo won't die that easily,

but we can't let him escape easily either.

Tu Luo!

Someone's casting a fire formation.

My vines holding the passage open have been scalded.

I can't hold on for long.

Yu Huan!

The tomb may collapse soon. Hurry, go!

I'm going to open the path. Follow me!

Yu Huan, what's wrong?

The fire formation's been broken.

They've escaped.

- Dispatch soldiers to go after them! - Let's wait a bit.

Your Highness is here. Su Mo will definitely come.

The Six Directions Seals is with you, right?

Their emperor can sense it.

- You want to use me as a bait. - We can only go all out today.

I will do my best to protect you.

Li Zhu, lead them down the mountain on this path.

Hold on. We haven't found the Water Dispelling Pearl yet.

Did you go to Queen Bai Wei's tomb?

We did but we couldn't find anything.

Miss Tu Luo, do you know where the Water Dispelling Pearl is?

Why are you looking for it?

Only if we can get the Water Dispelling Pearl,

can Su Mo take Na Sheng down the Ghost and Deity Abyss

to unlock the Six Directions Seal.

Are they telling the truth?

The Water Dispelling Pearl isn't in the tomb anymore.

Where is it then?

Tu Luo, are you all right?

What's wrong with these leaves?

Miss Tu Luo, what is this?

I'll heal your injuries.

No need.

It's useless.

Hurry and go.

This is the final thing I can do for you.

In order to save us,

you had to pay such a high price.

Miss Tu Luo, for your great kindness,

Kongsang will never forget this.

You are much warmer than him.

Miss Tu Luo, from the start,

it seems like you know me.

Seven thousand years ago,

I fell in love with a young man from a foreign land.

Because of him, I committed many unforgivable sins.

I wonder if it's fate or not,

to have let me meet you again.

Crown Prince of Kongsang, your eyes have a different look than his.

I hope you'll have a different outcome.

After you've unlocked the Six Directions Seal

please remove the barrier of Jiuyi

and let the light back into this misty forest.

This way, the children can transform into clouds

and float along with the wind to the Bilou Sea.

All right. Don't worry.

- This is... - This is the Water Dispelling Pearl.

[Water Dispelling Pearl]

I rely on this to absorb the weak water

to survive in the forests of Jiuyi.

The Water Dispelling Pearl originally belonged to the Emperor of the Sea.

It was given to Bai Wei seven thousand years ago.

It was kept in Bai Wei's coffin after her death.

I'm the one who stole it.

I didn't want it to be with Bai Wei.

Today, it's time to return it to the Emperor of the Sea.

Chun Huang gave this to Queen Bai Wei?

Tu Luo, what's wrong with your body?

Tu Luo, I will always remember your kindness.

Emperor of the Sea of this generation,

I can only protect you up to here.

Please, you must defeat Cangliu

and lead the people of Quanxian

back to our home, the Bilou Sea.

Tu Luo, what's wrong with you?

I should have died a long time ago.

It's just that I was trapped by Jiuyi Mountain and the weak water,

stuck in this body and unable to get out.

Now my wish has come true,

I can die now.

Lead the children out of here.

Let them transform into clouds and rain, fly to the sky,

and go back to Bilou Sea.

Ya Ran, this is my name.

Emperor of the Sea, please remember this.

Ya Ran, your name will definitely

be on Quanxian's Records of Heroic Souls.

Hurry and go.

I will definitely fulfill your wish

and get revenge for you.

The Emperor of the Sea of this generation,

you have a kind and warm heart.

Usually, no one comes to the back of the mountain. It should be safe.

- Take a seat. - All right.

Na Sheng.

I'm handing the Water Dispelling Pearl over to you.

I will use and cherish this well.

On behalf of Kongsang,

I thank Quanxian for this kindness.

Only by overthrowing the Cangliu,

can we justify so many deaths.

That's right. The immediate priority is to find the seal.

Na Sheng, see if there's any reaction from the Heavenly Ring.

It seems to be that way.

It's with Qing Chen.

He... Why did he go alone?

I'm going to go take a look.
