Episode 18

Chengling, carry the little beast. Let's go.

Brat, your skills improved.

Master!

Fuss over nothing. Whatever next?

The road is perilous. Follow my steps closely.

Qin Huaizhang's disciple, watch your silly disciple.

Brat, I advise you to be wiser.

Your cheap tricks won't work on me.

I'll excuse this. If you dare try again,

I'll let Wen Kexing break your fingers.

Me? I'm Well-doer Wen.

How would I carry out torture?

- A'Xu, you handle it. - Shut up.

Master, why's Deep Pavilion Leader live in a remote place?

The world has all kinds of people.

But this remote place with mechanical traps

is scary.

What if he goes out and gets lost?

It's like mouse traps under your bed.

Mouse traps under your bed?

I once couldn't catch a mouse in my room.

So I put two traps under my bed.

I forgot on waking.

I took one step

and broke my foot in a trap.

Little Idiot, a person hides

for the same few reasons.

Either a foe is hunting him

so he hides in isolation.

- Or... - Long Que is a good person.

He got taken advantage of and had no foes.

Qing Huaizhang's disciple, your Master knew this.

Then it'd be the second reason: grief.

He can't see the one he wants to see, so he hid

to avoid reminders of the one.

If your Master is gone,

I'll hide in such a place

and see no-one.

- Just like...*Yu Boya broke his qin? - Huh? (*his confidant died)

It won't happen.

Master has superb energy and good deeds. He'll live to 100.

'Bad people enjoy glory; good people do not end well.' (Sanyan Stories)

You want to die, brat?

Senior Ye, lead the way.

To catch a tiger, enter its lair.

Don't you want to enter Long Deep Pavilion?

It's right opposite. Well?

You fear I'll trigger a hidden mechanism?

With three Experts escorting me,

could I make trouble?

Little Idiot, I'll take him.

Come on. Easy.

Master Long, forgive me.

Then I'll go first, A'Xu.

How's it your turn? I'll go first.

- Senior! - Old Freak!

I'm teasing you.

Childish.

Come over!

I'll go in front.

Careful!

I faked my fall, yours is real?

Master!

Uncle Wen!

Master!

Uncle Wen!

Master!

Old Wen.

Old Wen.

A'Xu.

Don't talk.

I'm alright.

Feels like my internal organs jumped around.

It will settle.

- I don't know... - Where's that brat?

I didn't think he'd really break the bridge.

Since I've been smashed up,

won't he be a pancake?

He never fell.

Can he fly?

Odd.

I watched the position of Ye Baiyi's every step.

How was he fine but I set off a trap?

This trap

must be triggered by weight.

Ye Baiyi's weight didn't trip it.

Three of us set it off.

I thought, if we had Long Xiao,

they wouldn't attack.

I didn't expect Deep Pavilion's

traps to be so remarkable.

Where is this place?

Why's it so dark?

I thought I was in the Underworld.

This place isn't that high.

If you hadn't done that for me...

you wouldn't have passed out.

We must've set off a second trap

as we fell, ending up here.

Master.

Uncle Wen.

Enough. Get up!

Stop wailing.

Little Idiot. Use your brain!

That brat set off a trap and fell in first.

Would he die with that pair?

There'd be a trick.

Right! Master won't die!

Uncle Wen won't die!

Don't worry.

"Sinners live forever." Those two

won't die easily.

Old Wen. Are you nervous?

Why'd I be nervous?

Then why are you grabbing me?

I'm not.

Drug Men!

I wanted you to die with no grave.

But here is great.

If you die without appreciating this,

what a waste.

See these dear kids, my best work—

my first Drug Men, doltish,

but my first born.

I can't bear to kill them so I keep them here.

If people pass by, I open traps

to toss them to my kids for meat.

As I was away, my kids are hungry.

Kids, you'll soon be fed.

So Deep Pavilion created Drug Men.

Uncle Long is righteous.

Who'd imagine his dear son is so insane,

creating Drug Men with Venomous Scorpion.

Righteous!

He's stupid!

I'm his son.

He knew of an item to fix my illness

yet let me live as a monstrous human.

Your birth affliction is incurable.

Magic pills curing the dead

won't cause you to grow.

What do you know? Healer Valley's Yin Yang Manual

can cure strange afflictions.

Yue Feng saved Rong Xuan when he had torn arteries.

It can surely cure my affliction!

Fine, if you say so.

I'm at your mercy.

Be happy.

You!

Why waste breath on dead men?

Old Devil won't aid me; Heaven will.

Even without him, I can open the Armory.

Too bad you won't see

how I look when I stand.

Even if Rong Xuan was saved by Yin Yang Manual,

so what? He turned evil and mad.

Don't you care?

I almost forgot. You are a lunatic.

You sure don't care.

What do you know?

You want Ying Yang Manual's secret.

I'm the right guy.

But I dislike craning my neck to talk.

You work it out.

You're a Healer Valley descendant?

Consider it so.

Brat, who are you fooling?

Healer Valley disciples

died long ago.

Bad luck. Bluffing failed.

Kids, eat them clean!

Kill them all.

Why are there so many?

A'Xu, can you hold on?

What if I can't? Don't talk rot.

If we can't make it,

won't it be my fault?

Take back those useless words.

Old Wen, being your friend

makes living worthwhile.

'Luckily I gained a heart like mine.' (poem by Li Zhiyi)

Your quotes hurt my head!

Long Que! I,Ye Baiyi, am here.

Won't you greet me?

Elder, do we go in?

Inside will be full of traps. I'll check first.

Wait here. Don't move.

Mere tricks.

Elder Ye, watch out!

Little Idiot!

Long Xiao! Get out here!

No wonder no-one can find Deep Pavilion.

The Pavilion is just a facade.

The true Pavilion is in the bottom of a ravine.

Master!

Master!

Master.

You didn't die! Where's my Master?

Your Master is likely on the Bridge of No Avail.

If you hurry,

you may be able to catch up.

Bollocks!

Son of a dog!

I can count on one hand the times I've been chased.

Why's it always with you?

**This is lucky in love, unlucky in battle.

A'Xu! *Hubby, mercy. (*xianggong)

Old Zhou is pitiful. Young me never suffered.

On meeting you, Old Man, my luck ran out.

I lost 8 lifetimes of luck!

Let's go.

We're in the mountain's belly.

I'll scout. You hold them off.

You think I'd survive alone if you die?

We've been in tiger dens.

I've thought of a story.

- A man in the desert... - Well-doer Wen.

I've heard this story.

I'm going!

~Heaven is ever changing~

~with no way back~

A'Xu! Come over!

~travel across dawn and dusk, close to the heart~

~earth cracks, rivers runs dry~

~with no return, gratitude and grudges fade~

~how many rebirths mend a shattered soul~

~rivers and lakes refill, universe is immortal~

~unbreakable fated link, sun and moon in our eyes~

~if I meet a hero~

~I will rise and fall with the wind between earth and sky~

Thank you.

You don't want to get up yet?

Alright!

~if I meet a Hero~

~I will rise and fall with the wind between earth and sky~

It's an unexpected paradise.

Old Brother!

Where is this place?

Old Brother!

Old Brother.

I never imagined Deep Pavilion's mechanical puppets

reached god-like creation.

What is this devilish thing?

I didn't expect to hear you call something devilish.

Watch out!

I criticized it a bit.

It blew itself up in anger.

A'Xu, this guy's bad temper is like yours.

Blockhead!

Indeed, "sinners live forever."

Little Idiot cried as if he lost his parents.

Yet you're bandying tacky words.

Elder, where's Chengling?

Old Freak, he asked—

Where's our silly disciple?

Lost.

Bratty boy, you run fast.

Deep Pavilion is crammed with traps.

At your level?

Even if I let you run free,

you'd starve to death before you could escape.

You're very stubborn. Not bad.

I like stubborn kids.

The more stubborn your bones,

the clearer they sound when I hit them.

(Qimen Dunjia/Divination Skill)

You figured it out?

Don't rush me. Shut up.

Our Little Idiot is in Long Xiao's hands.

He's not your kid so you lost him.

Old Wen, this Divination is complex and changing.

It can't be solved fast.

Forget solving it. Smash ten in one blow.

Force our way in. I'll scour it with fire.

Young fool. You know what purple molten metal is?

You don't know, right.

With that ignorant look, you've no idea.

Old Freak, got time to mock me? Hurry up!

Let me say, you need to know

all this valley's traps use purple molten metal.

Once on fire, it explodes.

The force of it can send all this to the sky.

This is...

This is a map of Deep Pavilion.

Let me go! You two let me go.

Why hold me captive? Just kill me!

Boy, I sure won't kill you.

You're Zhang Yusen's son, right?

20 years ago, our fathers were good pals

Say so earlier. Your dad was Grandmaster's pal.

Let's chat nicely.

If we didn't have this link,

I might give you a quick death.

But because your dad was Long Que's good pal,

I'll never let you die easily.

Relax. These two are highly trained by me.

They'll ensure you're very comfortable.

Where to begin?

Shall I dig out your eyeball?

An eyeball has good medicinal materials.

W-wait!

Know why I like to be active underground?

From my birth, I lived in endless darkness.

Since my fate is darkness,

I made it my home.

What's happening?

You like moving underground.

Were you born to be a big sewer rat?

Purple molten metal!

Correct, your rat hole twists and turns. Even with a map,

who'd bother?

May as well explode through.

My kids!

What did you do to my kids!

That's my kid's heart!

Drug Men are your kids. Mechanical people are your kids.

You're a rat breeding mixes.

In this abyss, where to find this much explosive?

Luckily your kids had enough to sacrifice generously.

Here, I've one left.

- Have it back... - Old Wen! Wait. Wait.

You tell us. Can we remove the needle in my disciple's head?

Zhou Zishu, you killed my kids

to explode their hearts.

I'll never free your disciple!

He's my repayment!

Brat, think it through.

As far as I know,

an able-bodied person and a crippled person

will react differently.

Want help to experience it?

I was born crippled. You don't scare me!

I didn't aim to let you go.

Elder Ye.

Why's this stuck here?

Don't!

Why not?

Why fear? If he dies, I'll get you another one.

You two saved me again.

"Again" is apt.

A'Xu, why not compare horoscopes before accepting him?

How unlucky he is,

meeting trouble every step, everywhere.

Master, they tried to dig out my eyeball.

Long Que is kindly; you're vicious.

Kindly?

That old fraud,

watching his own son living in hell!

Spew this crap when you meet your dad.

Master, this puppet and this villain

look alike.

This puppet helped us find the underground Pavilion.

Long Que must've created it in his son's likeness.

Some kids are born to parents to collect a debt.

Master, what's that smell? It stinks.

A living corpse in a wild mountain dwelling.

I am unable to be hospitable. I beg pardon.

[Long Que, Deep Pavilion Master]

This is Long Que?

Uncle Long?

Zishu, it's really your voice.

I thought I was dreaming.

Is your Master well?

Uncle Long!

Uncle Long, you remember me?

My Master is no longer here.

I remember. How wouldn't I?

A person in too much pain to face reality

can only immerse himself in memories of the past.

I close my eyes and see you,

when you joined Four Seasons,

looking young and foolish.

Huaizhang is gone.

Yes, the dead look alive; the living look dead.

Your son should've died.

He's a beast. My son died.

I don't care about your father-son mess.

Shut your eyes; lie to yourself.

But he lies and does harm

in Deep Pavilion's name. Don't you care?

I can't care.

Uncle Long!

This beast imprisoned me for who knows how long.

You did this to your dad?

Less than a beast!

I'm a beast?

How's he any good?

'Tiger won't eat its young'. Yet he's cruel to me.

He knows what my cure is

yet left me crippled in a living hell.

I maltreated him. Yet he won't help.

What crap is that?

Your dad was heartsick for you.

He means he wants me to get Yin Yang Manual.

Yin Yang Manual in the Armory!

~ The sky was gray as I crossed the cold river ~

~ The moon in my cup reflects sadness in my smile ~

~ Who let me roam Jianghu on horseback? ~

~ Who wakes from a drunken dream of his hometown? ~

~ In desolate autumn, rain kisses my windows ~

~ I can bear hate and slander, but my melancholy persists ~

~ Spring breeze on river greenery can't warm my cold heart ~

~ Out of nowhere, is that our light? ~

~ I regret we met late ~

~ Don't let seasons pass ~

~ Give up adventures on horseback for a quiet life ~

~ Across miles, lights of home; the past fades like smoke ~

~ I'll enjoy wine and tea with you all my days ~

~ On high peaks or far seas, I'll be with you always ~
