W-Who are you?

Who am I?

I've seen you.

Are you the evil arm at the bottom of Sangbo Lake?

I am Shenshu.

I wish to use your body to recover my broken arm.

I hope you will agree.

Why were you at the bottom of Sangbo Lake?

Sangbo Lake?

Why was I sealed in Sangbo Lake?

Where did I come from? Why am I here?

Who am I? I can't remember.

In Sangbo Lake? At the bottom of the lake?

Why am I at Sangbo?

Where do I come from?

I'm out of control.

My primordial spirit is incomplete.

So I can't remember what happened in the past.

I only know my holy name.

But I can't remember where I come from or what happened before.

Sir, I have no grudge against you.

Why must you enter my body?

Someone brought me here to see you.

That's because we are of the same kind.

Sir, could you make it clear?

I instinctively feel so.

However, that's all I can remember.

Who brought you here?

Follow up.

The man in the black robe sent me here.

I merged with him before,

leaving this memory deep within his primordial spirit.

Who is the man in the black robe?

I do not know.

You merged with him, just like with Heng Hui before.

I knew there was more behind the Sangbo case.

Is it to merge with the guy before me?

I am not an evil man.

I am Shenshu.

How can you hear what I'm thinking?

I've already merged with you.

So I know what's on your mind.

Nonsense.

Nine, eight.

One, two.

Two, zero.

Three point one four one five nine two six five five nine seven.

One two three four five seven eight nine four

three two one two three four five six seven.

Stop.

Rest assured, I will not hurt you.

Yes, I need to be in your body for a while.

But your body is much stronger than Heng Hui's.

I won't devour your energy or slaughter the innocent.

Nor will I seize your body.

And I will not control you.

Alright. I see.

You can read my mind.

You know what I'm thinking.

So, I will recover myself here from now on.

- Thank you. - No, wait.

Sir, I am just a Guardian.

I can't help you with anything.

You might as well find another host.

That's not true.

Your body is extremely strong.

And I'm comfortable inside your body.

Moreover, there is something inside you

that can heal my broken arm.

Something? What is it?

I do not know.

I only know that thing

was not originally inside you.

Someone deliberately placed it in your body.

Alright, you take that thing. I won't--

That thing is intrinsically connected to you.

I don't know its origin.

Nor am I able to take it away.

So you've latched onto me, huh?

Apart from that, I need your help with another thing.

You are going too far.

Help me trace the past to retrieve my memory.

During this process, I will offer you some assistance.

Assistance?

Few people can defeat me.

The three Gold Gongs

and the people of the Bureau of Astronomy are no match for me.

If I'm on your side, you will have an ace in the hole.

Plug-in?

What is it?

I am Shenshu.

Plug-in Shenshu.

I mean, Shenshu.

Shenshu.

Through my observation, I've got some information regarding your origin.

What is it?

You should be from the Heaven Domain.

How can you tell?

From your temperament.

I see. So I am from the Heaven Domain.

Good.

Glad to meet you.

- I hope we'll get along well. - Me too.

[Heaven Domain]

This stuff exchanged from Dafeng

is much better than what we have in Heaven Domain.

Come on.

Brother. We got good stuff today.

We got a wild rabbit and a marten.

It's enough to buy a fur coat.

Later, I'll go up the mountain to catch a deer

and get you a fur coat for the winter.

Stop right there!

Where are your parents?

I don't know.

You don't know?

An illusion?

If I didn't use this method, how would I see your true form?

Show yourself.

Who are you?

[Du'e, Saint of Heaven Domain, Third-Rank Vajra] What brings you here?

[Duku, Saint of Heaven Domain, Second-Rank Arhat] Linghui Master.

[Third-Rank Linghui Master of the Wizard Cult]

Nice to meet you.

Forgive my impertinence.

I'm here to convey a message to you both.

Shenshu has appeared.

[Xu's Mansion]

What should I do?

Should I tell others about it?

[Mr. Wei] As a Guardian,

just stick to your duty.

Remember, no matter what happens, I'll protect you.

It's true that Mr. Wei appreciates me.

If he can get the man out of my body, that would be good.

What if he can't? [Tiandi Society]

[Explosion at the Bottom of Sangbo Lake] After all, it's something from the Sangbo Lake.

Will he cover for me or seal me along with it?

[Tell Jian Zheng] Jian Zheng?

With his abilities, he can get the man out of my body.

Jian Zheng is too peculiar.

Although I've never met him, it seems he's always been watching me.

Will he help me?

[Tell Jian Zheng]

The Linghui Master managed to release the sealed object.

Why did it enter my body?

Who is he?

What is his true purpose?

Will he take the broken arm back?

Right now, I must find out this person's identity.

Well, the question came back.

How should I figure it out?

Should I seek help from others?

Keep it a secret.

Master.

Are you there?

Master. Do you have any clues about that person? Tell me more.

Master.

You just said you and I are of the same kind.

What does that mean?

Do you also pick up money every day?

Or are you good at throwing arrows?

Ring toss? Hit every time?

Master, say something please.

How about you come out and talk?

I'll make you a cup of milk tea.

Master.

Master, please say something.

Could you say more? Master.

Master.

Greetings, Mr. Wei.

Here you are.

Mr. Wei. I heard His Majesty knew I took the Rebirth Pill.

So he's quite dissatisfied with the Bureau of Astronomy.

His Majesty has wanted it for three years.

Yet Jian Zheng didn't give it to him.

Now, you need to restrain yourself and keep a low profile.

Make good use of the Rebirth Pill.

Cultivate yourself according to this chart.

It will make you stronger.

Open it and have a look.

Visualization Chart?

You know it?

Yes, I do. Pingzhi told me about it.

This thing is crucial for my breakthrough.

It's your reward for your journey to Yunzhou.

This booklet records the methods of visualization.

You must learn according to it.

[The Methods of Visualization] Remember, the images of visualization can affect a warrior's state of mind.

can affect a warrior's state of mind.

This spirit is what the painter imprints into the painting.

[The Chart from Top to Bottom] It took me a while to select it for you.

I think this is most suitable for you.

Thank you, Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Can I share this chart with others?

You just need to return it to me after three months.

Well, I don't care what you do with it or who you share it with.

So, it has to be returned?

Of course.

Each chart is worth a fortune.

If it is damaged, you will lose your salary for the rest of your life.

Yes.

By the way, there's another thing I need to report to you.

Speak.

Do you remember the Battle of Linyuan Pass?

Pingzhi. You're on duty today?

Originally I shouldn't be.

I just received the news that the Princess Consort of King of the North has gone missing.

All officials in the yamen, on duty or not, have been sent to search for her.

You've worked so hard.

Pingzhi. Don't forget to send someone to Yunlu Academy.

I don't need an unfilial son. Why worry about him?

Come back.

I think Xinnian should have returned by now.

Did Qi'an write to him about our moving?

- I don't know. - Come back!

What do you mean?

Ru, he's a grown man. He can take care of himself.

Come on.

That's rude.

Aren't you worried?

That's the whole story.

At first, I didn't believe it.

But that old man spoke with certainty,

insisting he fought in the Battle of Linyuan Pass.

He also said that he stood on the ramparts.

What's his name?

Just an ordinary old man. I didn't ask much else.

Oh, he said that he stood right behind you.

There was no such person.

Mr. Wei, please think again. Right behind you.

About this distance.

He must be there.

I am a bit tired.

I will take my leave.

Mr. Wei. I find that old man quite pitiful.

He has no one to rely on.

If you remember him, let's help him a bit

and give him some retirement money.

Why are you so sure?

That old man looks kind. He doesn't look like a bad person.

Besides, deceiving a Guardian is asking for trouble, isn't it?

Alright, bring him here.

I will ask him in person.

Any problems?

I... I just met him while drinking.

Where can I find him?

I bet you can find him.

Beauty cream.

Take a look. Give it a try.

It makes your skin fair.

Who exactly is this person?

He could stand behind Mr. Wei.

He's certainly not an ordinary person.

It's this unlucky fellow again.

I haven't picked up anything in Yunzhou yet. Lucky me.

I guess I dropped it around here.

Yes, I've been searching all the way.

Where on earth is it?

It's weird.

I haven't lost my purse over the past three months.

How come it happened again?

Come on. Keep looking.

Where is it?

I hear the Princess Consort of King of the North

likes to search for treasures all over the city.

I'm telling you, search the marketplace carefully.

Yes.

You're back.

Sure.

- It's been a while. - You guys talk.

You guys, go have a look over there.

Yes.

Who is there?

Who are you?

Xin… Xinnian?

You…

Qi'an didn't write to you.

I hurried over to pick you up as soon as I heard about it.

Why don't you stay at an inn?

I have no money.

Stay in the house.

Even the bed is gone.

Why don't you go back to the academy?

The city gate is closed.

I've come to pick you up. Go home with me.

Wait, sir.

I am homeless.

Xinnian, don't jump. Don't do such a foolish thing.

- Don't stop me. No, let me die. - Don't do foolish things, Xinnian.

- I have no family. - You have family. I'm here for you.

Xinnian, listen to me.

I've tidied up your room for you.

Just follow me home. Come on.

Let me jump down.

Stop it.

Master, are you sure there was someone standing behind Mr. Wei?

I have asked Mr. Wei about it.

He doesn't remember it.

Could it be that you're mistaken?

Master. Are you there?

If you're there, make a sound.

Say something.

It seems he has fallen asleep again.

Perhaps it's best to take this opportunity

to inform Mr. Wei of the matter. Then...

Hey, Master.

Master, what are you doing?

Wait, Master, I was wrong.

I was just joking. Please don't take it seriously.

Master, let me explain.

Well, man's mind is unpredictable.

Some people are not what they seem.

I was just thinking.

Rest assured, I definitely won't speak of it.

Calm down.

Don't be angry.

Here you go, Master.

Thank you for sparing my life. Thank you.

That's too much. I just hit you once.

You're so petty.

Master, I'm sorry.

Master. Wait, Master, I was wrong.

I'm sorry, Master.

Qi'an.

Cijiu.

Qi'an.

Cijiu.

I'm so worried about you. I thought you had died.

I'm good. No worries.

That's great.

I thought you had died.

When did you wake up?

I'm a lucky man. I woke up a long time ago.

How long ago?

A few days ago.

What's wrong?

Come on.

Didn't you just say that he woke up just two hours ago?

Yes, that's true.

Isn't it, Ru?

Yes, he woke up two hours ago.

Didn't he?

I can testify.

He woke up two hours ago.

Yes, I woke up two hours ago.

Cijiu. Maybe you heard me wrong.

- I-- - It is already late.

Cijiu.

Hurry back to your room and get some sleep.

We can talk tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Wait, I…

Lingyue, come on.

Take Cijiu to his room.

Yes.

Cijiu. Come with me.

Wait.

Is this our new home?

It looks so cozy

and fancy.

I believe my room must be pretty good.

Am I right?

Come on. Take me to my room.

Our house is so beautiful.

[Vigilance and Agility]

This pond is so big.

It is so beautiful and well-decorated.

My room is over here?

Father.

Where is Cijiu's room?

- Ningyan. - Pingzhi.

- Let's play a game. - Okay.

Mosquito.

Go away.

Go away, mosquito.

[Vigilance and Agility]

Don't be so petty.

You are to be the Chief Minister after all.

Is your girlish heart broken?

Come on.

We didn't forget you on purpose.

Honestly, we didn't think of you.

I have an idea.

I'll get you a new room tomorrow.

You can get one you like.

Cijiu, it's been a while since I met you.

How come you became petulant?

Can't you let it go? Come on.

I'm sleepy, alright? I'll have to work tomorrow.

What's wrong with you?

Qi'an.

It's so good that you're still alive.

Qi'an,

buy me candied hawthorn.

♫ A hand to hold you ♫

You realize you have a lot to do, don't you?

I'm Qi'an's uncle.

I must take care of him.

If I reach the realm of refining spirit,

in the future, maybe I'll be able to help him.

Don't work so hard.

Look, you're sweating.

♫ A hand to hold you ♫

Unknowingly, they've all grown up.

[Xu's Mansion]

The roster for the Battle of Linyuan Pass?

Yeah, fetch it for me.

Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the Ministry of Personnel for that.

We don't have it in our archives.

Buddy, are you kidding me?

The Guardian Yamen has more information than the Ministry of Personnel.

There's something you don't know.

If it were an ordinary secret, you would find more about it here.

But the Guardian Yamen was established in the 19th Year of Yuanjing,

that is, two years after the great war.

Therefore, regarding the secrets of the Battle of Linyuan Pass,

you can't find more in the archives.

Got it. Go back to your work.

The war occurred two years earlier than the Guardian Yamen's establishment?

Wang Zhenwen is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

He has never gotten along with the Guardians.

How am I supposed to get in there?

By force?

Sir, does the food not suit your taste?

How about I serve you something else?

No need.

Sir.

You just hurt me.

Sir.

Come with me.

Yes.

Come here.

Yes.

I have some questions for you.

- Answer honestly. - Yes.

Song Changfu, the governor of Yunzhou,

is a member of the Wizard Cult?

Yes.

What about Yang Chuannan, the Commander of Yunzhou?

He is also a member of the Wizard Cult?

No.

He has no ties to the Wizard Cult.

My master was right.

Although Yang Chuannan is pedantic,

he won't stoop to consorting with rebels.

One last question.

What kind of person is your cousin?

You're number Three's family, right?

What kind of person is he?

- What? - You're not Number Two.

You're so weak.

You are not Li Miaozhen.

Let go of me.

You're hurting me.

Why are you still conscious?

I just bewitched you.

Such a petty trick.

It's a trick.

[Consciousness]

You have a magic book from the Yunlu Academy?

Who are you?

Miss... Now it's my turn to ask you, isn't it?

Whatever I ask, you shall answer.

Got it?

Where is the Number Two, Li Miaozhen?

What took her so long?

Could it be that she goes back to her old habits?

I'll just let you ask a few questions.

Where have you been? What took you so long?

Where is he?

Be careful.

Li Miaozhen, the Heroine Feiyan.

Your reputation is well-deserved.

You're Xu Qi'an?

Exactly.

How can a warrior be of help to me?

Number Three should see more stuff.

You know me?

You told him?

He forced me.

What else did you tell him?

Just a little bit.

How much?

Just a little bit. I didn't say much.

I just mentioned your identity, age, cultivation level, and such.

And you're here to gain experience.

I also told him about your crush.

I'm warning you, do not tell number Three about my information.

If you do, I will kill you.

My cousin said you two were here for important matters

and asked him for help.

I'm not asking for it. He owes me.

I hear you are good at solving cases.

Not very good.

Do me a favor.

Let's hear it. I'll consider it.

Shall we put away swords?

- Up to you. - Let's do that.

- Three. - Two.

- One. - Retract.

- Su Su, close the door. - Okay.

Close your eyes and steady your primordial spirit.

Where am I?

In my memory.

I'm using an Empathy Technique. It is a secret technique.

It can temporarily merge the consciousness of both parties and exchange memories.

Is there a way to empathize unilaterally?

I don't want to share my memories.

I'm not as despicable as you.

I'll only merge this segment of memory with you.

Good.

If you interrogate Xu Qi'an, I can bewitch him.

Alright, but don't overdo it. Do not cause any trouble.

Don't worry.

I'm good at dealing with men.

That is…

That's a man?

Xu Qi'an. Can you tell this person's identity?

This person should be from the north.

On what basis?

Personality traits vary across geographic regions.

Given his appearance and skin, I can tell where he's from.

Moreover, besides the calluses on the palms, his index finger has thick calluses.

Using a knife or a sword can't develop such calluses.

What kind of weapon did he use?

Don't beat around the bush.

- The bow. - Exactly. This person is good at archery.

How could you determine that he was from the north?

I suspect you're making this up.

Many people are good at archery.

What if he's from the army?

I don't think so.

There are no calluses on the upper part of his thighs.

If he was a cavalryman, there would be calluses on the thighs.

He isn't a soldier. Yet he is good at archery.

That matches the characteristics of people from the north.

The martial artists from all over Dafeng are not skilled in archery.

Could he be an archer?

Who will send an archer to deliver a message?

He's likely a martial artist from the north.

What did he intend to convey?

Who sent him?

And who killed him?

Well, I have no idea.

A bloodbath 1,500 kilometres around.

Tell the imperial court to send troops to suppress them.

A bloodbath 1,500 kilometres around?

What did he mean by that?

What you see is all that I have seen.

A bloodbath 1,500 kilometres around?
