Sword of Coming!

Fire Dragon Catches Fire!

That day I saw you sneaking around, following Chen Pingan.

If you have any ulterior motives

I'll beat you until your soul runs away and spirits scatter.

This devastating disaster

is also the seed of a great Opportunity.

It is rude of me not to reciprocate.

Junior will help you to strengthen your muscles and bones.

Good kid.

Your Tao cultivation isn't shallow.

This opening move is good.

Let's go again!

It seems that I won't be allowed to leave

unless I bring out everything I’ve got.

How about

we have a three-way fight

and destroy this area of 1,000 miles?

These are all mine.

It's nice to have money.

Such beautiful scenery

should be accompanied with good wine.

State Teacher Xiu Hu

Treasure Talisman Mountain.

Fairy Grass Mountain.

Rainbow Cloud Peak.

Pearl Mountain.

You have pretty good taste.

Fallen Spirit Mountain.

That used to be the forbidden mountain of Great Li.

What made you choose it?

It's because...

I'll help you handle the paperwork for buying the mountains.

Let's leave it at that for now.

I guess

you still have some copper coins left.

I'll help you pick out two more

well-established stores in Small Town.

Thank you, Master Ruan.

Go about your business.

He is truly a person of noble character and virtue.

While a petty person envies the noble one.

Young Master Chen.

You’re looking well.

Young Master Chen...

Young Master Chen.

After buying the mountains and shops

you can comfortably lay back and collect money.

Get married, have children.

and bring honor to your ancestors.

I, Ruan Qiong, and Great Li will take care of you and your business.

Remember.

Staying safe and sound is more important than anything else.

After Teacher Qi passed away

If you miss him

it's only human nature.

But don't let yourself get caught up in it

and don't even think

getting to the bottom of things.

You’re still young.

Why are you sighing?

It wasn't easy for you to gain a bit of Original Qi through training your fist.

Don't allow it to leak.

I will remember.

Which mountains did you choose?

I chose Treasure Script Mountain.

Rainbow Cloud Peak.

also Fairy Grass Mountain, Pearl Mountain, and Fallen Spirit Mountain.

Fallen Spirit Mountain?

Who gave you the hint?

Ruan Qiong?

It shouldn't be.

He clearly doesn't want to get too involved with you.

Is there anything strange

about Fallen Spirit Mountain?

Other than Cloud Parting Mountain and Incense Fire Mountain

this Falling Spirit Mountain is the most intriguing.

However, so far

even the Great Li's Heavenly Observatory likely can't figure it out.

You can be considered getting a great bargain.

How did you come to choose it?

Be honest.

Stop holding in your fart.

T/N: He is telling him to stop keeping it to himself.

Actually

A bird dropping just happened to fall

on the three characters of Fallen Spirit Mountain.

I thought it was fate.

Fine then.

Did you encounter anything on the mountain?

Just a misunderstanding with two constables.

Luckily

The newly appointed Lord Wu didn’t hold it against me.

He even gave me directions.

Wu Yuan?

You should be cautious of the young man with a mole on his forehead he brought with him.

Keep the four seals Teacher Qi gave you safe.

Especially the one with the word 'Jing'.

T/N: Jing (静) means quiet or tranquility. It is also part of Qi Jingchun's name.

Keep it safely.

Remember.

You are now a wealthy man.

It is better to be still than to make any move.

I will remember.

T/N: 'qichongniudou' (气冲斗牛) is an idiom that is often used to describe someone or something possessing extraordinary vigor, ambition, or power that reaches celestial heights. "斗牛" refers to two stars or constellations in Chinese astronomy, symbolizing the vastness of the sky. It literally reads 'Angry Charging Oxen'.

What if I insist on having this plaque?

Lord Song, please forgive me.

Small Town has recently joined Great Li

the preservation of old items like this plaque

is a matter of public sentiment

and should not be taken away lightly.

Isn't this Chen Pingan?

Cui Chan

You are not learning words from Miss Ruan Xiu

and came to watch the excitement?

I just came to look for a quick look.

I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving.

Don't go!

The excitement isn’t over yet.

It's going to be really interesting.

On that side

is the former Supervisor of Works, Lord Song

who wants to take credit for that plaque.

On the other side

He's Small Town's official who considers all the treasures of the town as his own forbidden possession.

Lord Wu Yuan.

This is about these four plaques.

The Military School's 'Spirit reaches the Heavens'.

Confucian's 'Righteousness takes precedence'.

T/N: The original meaning is to take responsibility with benevolence and not to be modest; later it means to take the initiative to do what should be done and not to give in.

Buddhists' 'Seek nothing outward'.

T/N: It means one should rely on their own strength and ability to solve problems, achieve self-satisfaction and growth through hard work, and not ask for outside help.

Taoists' 'Rare words spoken naturally'.

T/N: It means that when governing things and formulating laws and regulations, we should let nature take its course.

See that object in that official's hand?

It's specially made for stone rubbings.

Its purpose

is to extract the powerful spiritual intent

imbued within the sixteen words written by their

respective authors, layer upon layer.

Make sure the rubbings are clear.

Don’t keep Lord Wu waiting.

However

the Military School's 'Spirit reaches the Heavens'

seems to have two characters extinguished recently.

You know so much.

Who are you?

Me?

My surname is Cui, named Chan.

The characters are relatively rare and difficult to write.

It's rather troublesome.

Therefore...

You can call me.

Uncle Master Cui.

T/N: Uncle Master is the senior or junior brother of one's master. In this case, he is the senior brother of one's master. He is the senior brother of Qi Jingchun.

I also have a nickname.

It's a lot easier to call.

Called...

Xiu Hu.

Well, I've introduced myself.

Chen Pingan.

Can you take me to Song Jixin's house?

I need to go to Master Ruan to cast iron.

If I'm late, Master Ruan would come looking for me.

I know you're worried I have ulterior motives.

I'll be honest with you.

I'm quite familiar with Song Jixin's younger brother.

He is curious about how his elder brother lived

in Small Town for over a decade.

So he entrusted me with the task

of seeing it with my own eyes.

Once I return to the capital

I can tell him about it.

If they’re brothers

why can't he ask him directly?

Chen Pingan.

You're quite smart.

You found the loophole so quickly.

There are so many things that go on

in wealthy and powerful families.

He and Song Jixin haven't even met

and their relationship is already very bad.

So you have to be understanding.

What if I don't agree?

Will you cause trouble for me?

Do I look like the kind of person who is so vicious that I will kill an entire family if they disagree with me?

You don't look like it

but that doesn't mean you're not.

All right then.

I'll ask someone else.

You don’t even have the key to his house.

What are you planning on doing?

You cannot climb over the wall!

Then I'll take you to the entrance of his house to have a look.

That's more like it!

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Let's go!

This way.

Wait for me!

Mud Bottle Alley.

It's got quite the character.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

A genius will emerge.

In the future

I'm afraid Fortune and Wealth Street and Apricot Blossom Alley.

even when combined, won't be comparable to this place.

It's right here.

The handwriting is really good.

He is much more perceptive

than his younger brother.

Song Jixin is never coming back for the rest of his life.

It'll be a pity

to let it decay.

No.

Changing the Spring Festival Couplets before New Year’s Eve

T/N: Spring Festival couplets are traditional decorations frequently used during Chinese New Year to create an optimistic festive atmosphere. Phrases written on them refer to good luck and prosperity.

It will bring misfortune.

Do they have this particularity here?

If you feel like you've wasted a trip

come to visit my house.

It just so happens that I also need to pack up some things to sell to Master Ruan.

Forget it, forget it.

I probably won’t even be able to drink a cup of tea.

In any case, let's forget about the

matter entrusted to me.

I'm leaving.

What kind of person is he?

Teacher.

Who wrote this couplet?

It's very meaningful.

Song Jixin.

But I don't think it'll be long.

he will change his name.

Teacher

What do you need Spring Festival couplets for?

Naturally, it's to give your precious senior brother some insight.

So I don't have to tell him

that I can write better than him

isn't because I'm older.

I don't believe he'll have any more excuses

now that his brother wrote this couplet.

T/N: He mentions that Song Jixin and the other prince are full blood brothers, meaning they have the same father and mother.

Little Senior Brother’s excuses are endless.

He might say

Song Jixin had nothing better to do all day

and just practice calligraphy.

So his writing

will be a little better.

That does sound a bit logical.

Forget it.

The reason I asked you to come here today

is to see someone.

See someone?

Who?

Chen Pingan!

Chen Pingan!

Grandpa Ma

is dead.

Before he died

he told me to look for you.

The sunrise is magnificent.

The lamb's fur is wet.

At the time of hibernation

Heaven and Earth comes alive.

All things...

Look, look.

I suspect that the young man from Observation Lake must be the illegitimate son of Old Ma.

They stick together and are close every day.

Inseparable like body and shadow.

T/N: He uses the idiom xingyingbuli (形影不离) , which means inseparable like a body and its shadow. It describes a close relationship between two people, and they are often together.

Utterly vulgar.

T/N: He is describing him as someone who lacks cultural accomplishment and behaves in a vulgar manner. His words also emphasize the vulgarity and indecency at the spiritual level.

Teacher Cui is a noble character who is a scholar of Great Learning.

You are just jealous.

Are you hoping to marry him

when you grow up?

Li Huai!

I dodge.

Seeking a beating.

Why do I feel

Cui Minghuang is far less friendly than Teacher Qi.

He's just a hypocrite.

Teacher.

Let's step away and talk.

Teacher.

There are some changes to what you

and I agreed on before.

Why?

You all regret it now?

No, no.

The fact that Teacher is replacing Qi Jingchun as the new Master of the Cliff Academy

remains unchanged.

It's regarding news that I have received.

His Majesty wants to build a new academy on Cloud Parting Mountain.

Within fifty years

this academy will be promoted to one of the seventy-two academies.

Now all that's missing is a scholar with profound knowledge and attainments.

Palm print to open the scroll

to open the school.

In other words

you want me to switch allegiance

and join the new academy?

If Teacher is willing

you can turn back now

and become the Mountain Master of the new academy.

T/N: Mountain Master is a Sect Master.

Isn't it better than traveling thousands of miles to the Cliff Academy, merely

to follow someone else's ideals.

Will something happen?

What could happen to that old man?

It's taken too long.

Something's definitely not right.

Also

don't you think there is

something strange about that coachman?

Just then Li Huai wanted to call for Grandpa Ma.

He wouldn't even let him.

That's right.

I also think there is something wrong with the coachman.

So he is a bad man?

Will we be killed?

Not now, I don't think.

Otherwise, we would have been killed long ago.

But he definitely doesn't have any good intentions.

We have to find a way to find Grandpa Ma.

I have an idea!

In a moment, we will...

Just like that.

Teacher is wise.

Teacher!

What is the meaning of this?

No matter how eloquent you are.

It cannot conceal the sinister intention of destroying Cliff Academy.

I, Ma Zhan, would rather sweep the floor of Cliff Academy

than become a traitor!

Great Sui has accepted Cliff Academy now

is equivalent to declaring war on Great Li.

Are you sure

you still want to go to an enemy's country to be a Mountain Master?

Scholars are loyal to their literary legacy

and not a certain country's surname!

Good, good, good.

Oil and salt cannot be swayed, right?

T/N: The line is a modified saying from a Northeastern dialect, which means that neither oil nor salt can affect someone. They will not listen to anyone's opinions, and no one's persuasion will work. So he is saying he is being stubborn.

So that's it.

Let's move!

Okay.

What is okay?

Oh no!

I have stomach aches.

I'm so hungry. Give me something to eat.

Where are you going?

Li Baoping!

Run quickly!

What the hell are you doing?

Get out of my way!

Alright.

Let's go quickly.

Everyone, split up and run!

What is inheritance?

It is nothing but flowing water.

Crossroads

Bitter for a long time!

Why worry?

When there are many paths?

Spring Breeze.

T/N: This expression evokes an image of the gentle, refreshing spring wind, which metaphorically fills or brushes against the clothes, often conveying a sense of lightness, renewal, or the beauty of spring.

fills the clothes!

The spring breeze has passed.

Teacher

shouldn't read the book to death.

Rites, righteousness, laws, and standards are created by the saints.

A saint can do it.

Why can't Teacher?

Qi Jingchun, who was expected to build a sect and become the founder

had only one in mind, Cliff Academy!

A man of noble character bends when the time calls for it

and stretches when the time calls for it!

Teacher should

know this better than anyone.

Who is the person behind you?

Since the matter has come to this.

How could you not know who it is?

That's impossible.

Teacher, why don't you reconsider?

Otherwise, Cliff Academy's legacy will

really be ruined by your hands.

Baoping!

Little Baoping.

Just come out.

I won't hurt you.

Reporting! A girl escaped.

This matter is really important.

Don't be careless.

Quickly pursue!

Alright!

Grandpa Ma!

Baoping!

My selfish desires

have led to a grave mistake.

I have disappointed you all.

I have disappointed the task entrusted to me by Senior Brother.

Grandpa Ma.

What to do now?

I will lure everyone away.

You run back.

Go find

Chen Pingan.

I don't have much time left.

I'll leave the survival of Cliff Academy

to you all.

I sweep and clean all year round.

T/N: He uses the word jiusao (酒扫) which mean to sprinkle water on the ground to wet the dust first, and then sweep front to back, referring to tomb sweeping, cutting off; clearing up, sprinkling water and sweeping the ground; clearing away.

only wishing for a heart as serene as the luminous moon.

In the end

it is clouded by worldly dust instead.

When will I wipe away

the dust and return?

Has Teacher

thought it through?

This dead end was chosen by Teacher yourself.

Sever

the Six

Paths!

T/N: This is very important. The Six Paths is also called the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the environment they tend to. It is a Buddhist term that refers to the six types of states or realms of sentient beings. The six paths are divided into three good paths and three evil paths. The three good paths are the path of gods, the path of humans, and the path of Asuras; the three evil paths are the path of hell, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of animals. What Grandpa Ma is doing is severing all six paths, meaning he will never be able to reincarnate again.

Are you crazy?

For Cliff Academy

you don't even want your next lives?

Senior Brother Qi

I finally understand now.

Your so-called reason that you humble yourself to support and help.

I finally understand now!

This way!

Li Huai?

How did you?

Hurry! Over there!

Hurry! Keep running!

Over there!

Don't turn back!

Whoever loses is the puppy!

Whoever loses is the puppy.

Is a puppy!

She really came to find you.

If you want to save them.

Bring the Jing character seal given to you by Qi Jingchun.

T/N: Jing means quiet; tranquility or peace.

Tonight at midnight.

Old Porcelain Mountain.

Those clothes belong to little Shitou and the others.

This is mostly targeted at me.

So, Li Huai and the others should still be safe.

Junior Cui Minghuang

pays respects to the State Teacher.

You actually came back alive?

Although there were some unexpected events.

Everything is still within my lord's plan.

I just didn't expect

someone as useless as Ma Zhan

would not hesitate to risk his life to protect Tao

and couldn't be used by me.

It's a pity about the Undertaking Dew Armor given by my lord.

To think I am actually still your Master Granduncle.

After all

After all, Ma Zhan had been a disciple of Literary Saint for more than ten years.

Why do you have to treat him as a fool?

It'll be strange if you didn't suffer by his hand.

In that case

wouldn't it be even better

if you were beaten to death?

But how fortunate

things are going well on my end.

Don't be afraid.

Do I look like the kind of person who is so vicious that will

kill an entire family if they disagree with me?

Let the betting begin.

Qi Jingchun.

If I win this bet

the two pillars of literary legacy you have worked so hard to leave behind

will be completely severed.

Rubbing Imprint The words written or carved by the cultivators with extraordinary abilities usually contain their own spirit, such as inscriptions, plaques, books, and even spring couplets. Those who are interested can copy these words and comprehend the clues of cultivation and make great progress in cultivation.

Next episode preview

I placed half of my soul into your body.

You are another me.

What a dashing young man.

Bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.

Could it be

Qi Jingchun's death

is the work of Teacher??

The word greed is almost like poverty.

The word avarice is close to incineration.

The four seals given to you by Qi Jingchun

contains his literary legacy.

You are now a wealthy man.

Those seals

There is no reason to have both.

I'm going to set up a big game

to test that Chen Pingan.

No matter what you encounter

never lose

hope in this world.

If those things really come true

I, Chen Pingan, am not afraid.

There are some things

that needs to be done even if you die.

Chen Pingan.

You are indeed the successor of Qi Jingchun's literary legacy.

Next, as long as there is a flaw in your state of mind

I can use this to prove my Tao

and return to the peak of the twelfth realm.

So it's like that.
