(Ancient Lords)

(Episode 16)

Junior brother, I have always wanted to thank you

for asking Master to accept me as a disciple.

It has nothing to do with me.

He has long wanted to accept you as a disciple.

How did you know?

Oh, those two sets of martial books

have been copied a long time ago.

Right, why didn't I think of that?

Could this guy be pretending to be foolish?

Fish? Senior, I didn't steal your food.

Forget it. You are opening up your elixir field,

so you need sufficient food.

It's truly a blessing from the Buddha

to be chosen as a disciple by Master Xuanbei.

Senior Zhenyong, you will also have the opportunity.

I hope that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will bless me.

It's getting late. You should go back and rest.

Where is the thing?

What do you mean?

After this time, I won't help you anymore.

At this point, it's not up to you to decide.

I didn't have a choice before,

but now I want to stay in Jinchan.

Alright, go talk to the abbot of Jinchan

and see if he will let you stay.

Don't forget where you come from

and don't offend those you shouldn't offend.

He's attacking.

I win.

This is really amazing!

In just a few months, Zhenyong has also made huge progress.

Senior brother.

Is it over?

Senior brother.

No Six-path mission for ten months?

What a wonderful life!

Yes, what a wonderful life.

We can eat, sleep, and practice martial arts.

Zhenhui, how is your Finger of Flower Picking?

Ah, I haven't reached the stage of Qi Accumulation.

But Master said that in another half year,

I might be able to break through.

Senior brother, I feel that Senior Zhenyong is a bit strange.

What's wrong?

During my patrol at nights,

I saw him entering the scripture repository.

What? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?

It was too dark at night,

so I wasn't sure if it was Senior Zhenyong or not.

That's why I didn't dare to mention it.

One time, I followed that person all the way here.

And then?

After a while, he didn't come out,

and it was time for rotation, so I went back.

Cliff…

Zhenyong? Why did he come to the cliff so late?

(Illustration of the Classics of Tendon Changing)

(Illustration of the Classics of Tendon Changing) Is it a book copied on ordinary paper?

It seems that there are hidden crevices

outside the cliff where something is hidden.

Who's there?

Qi Accumulation stage. He did hide his true strength.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

Senior brother, why do such secretive things?

I am not as talented as junior brother Zhenhui.

Nor do I have great achievements like you.

If I want to learn some unique skills, I can only go this way.

I don't want to waste my time in Jinchan,

always living in solitude and unable

to see the excitement of the world.

Junior Zhenhui, Junior Zhending,

please spare me for the sake of our friendship.

From today on, I will turn over a new leaf and never do such things again.

I will give you all the secret manuals I got.

What should we do, Senior Zhending?

I knew it was a secret manual.

Senior Zhenyong, I don't know how an ordinary martial

monk like you can obtain secret martial arts manuals.

So, don't try to deceive me with your excuse.

Were you really getting close to me

and Zhenhui to become our friends?

Senior, your initial target was the scripture repository, right?

Junior, find someone nearby to come help.

Remember to shout so that everyone knows. Don't just tell one person.

Brothers, do you know what secret manual

I just put in the oiled paper packet?

Classics of Tendon Changing.

What?

What do you say you release me

and we share the Classics of Tendon Changing?

Senior, senior, it was knocked off the cliff by me.

Knocked off the cliff?

Junior Zhending, although it fell below the cliff,

I have read more than half of it just now.

If you let me go, I will recite it to you.

And I will leave immediately without anyone knowing.

As for who to find to get the manual,

I will tell you when I leave.

The suffering of the world is endless, but purity remains.

Break the precepts and leave.

The world is like a furnace, forging my Buddha's heart.

Axia, no, please come back quickly.

I kneel before the Buddha again and again,

but I cannot exchange for the purity of my mind.

If only, if only I in the beginning...

Hurry. Hurry up.

Go.

They are over there.

Senior brother, are you okay?

Are you injured?

Go check it over there.

Where is he? Where is he?

(Servant Yard)

Who's there?

According to Zhending, we will definitely find the culprit

who injured the person's abdomen.

Senior Xuanku, when we searched the courtyard,

we found that Zhenchang committed suicide in the room

with a clear wound on his abdomen, leaving behind a suicide note.

Senior Zhenchang?

Junior Zhenchang?

Zhending could actually have injured Zhenchang.

That one cut made him unable to hide and had to die to apologize

This matter is deeply related and requires all elders to discuss.

Xuanku, come with me first. You stay here.

Yes, Abbot.

Before the investigation is clear,

your two disciples need to separate

from others and live in a separate courtyard.

It's all up to you to decide.

Zhenhui, Zhenhui, are you next door?

If they can't find any results,

will Zhenhui and I be in danger too?

But who could have ordered this?

Senior Zhenchang has excellent talent and a solid character.

He has also learnt the first volume of the Classics,

so there is no reason for him to commit theft.

Zhenyong turned out to be a spy trained in Jingang Temple

since childhood for the purpose of stealing scriptures.

For several years, he was able to commit evil deeds in Jinchan.

Zhenyong is not outstanding among many disciples.

This may also be the reason why Jingang Temple chose him.

Senior, since everything is clear now,

can you restore the innocence of my two disciples?

Your disciple Zhending can injure Zhenchang with a single blow.

It seems that he is not simple.

The third cycle of reincarnation begins.

This mission is a solo mission for each member of the team.
