[Adapted from the novel of Kennedy Xu]

12
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,980
[Episode 6]
[This story is purely fictional]

13
00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:07,170
Zhang Qishan.

14
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:12,540
Zhang Qishan!

15
00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:23,410
Zhang Qishan!

16
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,900
Zhang Qishan.

17
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:34,740
What in the world was that?

18
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,050
A humongous snake.

19
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,820
It was already here when I came to this place.

20
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:48,660
Weren't you dead?

21
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:50,460
I see you're just injured.

22
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,780
Master Zhang, you must be very ignorant.

23
00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:46,980
Now that's a truly humongous snake.

24
00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:02,370
Come out. The snake is gone.

25
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,100
It's gone?

26
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:20,290
What is going on?

27
00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:21,370
An illusion.

28
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:25,610
And where's your wound?

29
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,100
I'm speechless.

30
00:08:34,390 --> 00:08:35,700
Where did Tiezui send us?

31
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,300
I'm not sure yet.

32
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:39,220
After I came here,

33
00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:41,300
I did not see any traces of Unit 401

34
00:08:41,550 --> 00:08:42,650
or your men.

35
00:08:45,390 --> 00:08:46,060
I get it now.

36
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,340
Look at these murals.

37
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,100
As we wander,

38
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:53,490
we keep seeing murals of the hellish landscape.

39
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,130
This is it.

40
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,220
We're in the Underworld.

41
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:58,940
Follow me.

42
00:08:59,630 --> 00:09:00,420
I'll show you something.

43
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:10,770
Eighth Master.

44
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,820
Do the ritual again.

45
00:09:12,390 --> 00:09:13,130
I must find my master.

46
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,890
Me too. I have to find my master as well.

47
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,420
We don't even know how Master Zhang

48
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,330
and Fifth Master disappeared.

49
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,250
I'm only in charge of the literary matters.

50
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:26,160
If all of you are gone,

51
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:27,730
who can protect me?

52
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:28,910
That's easy for you to say, Eighth Master.

53
00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:30,730
When you disappear,

54
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:32,220
I'll be lounging around.

55
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,250
The Wu Clan is not known for their patience.

56
00:09:33,630 --> 00:09:34,730
- Just do it, Eighth Master. - Exactly.

57
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:36,730
- This can't wait.
- We can't wait either.

58
00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:38,010
- Time is running out. - Yes.

59
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:39,040
- Exactly. - Do it again.

60
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,250
Do the ritual again.

61
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,700
Tiezui.

62
00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:42,650
Send them off.

63
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,580
Otherwise, they won't quit yelling.

64
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:47,490
Who cares about the bigger picture anyway?

65
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,130
Master Zhang and Fifth Master

66
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,460
don't need help.

67
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:54,220
What's the worst that could happen? We'll just die here.

68
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:56,980
Continue searching.

69
00:09:57,270 --> 00:09:58,650
Leave no stones unturned.

70
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:59,370
Yes, sir!

71
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,340
Heifeng, Aolie.

72
00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:02,060
Make Master proud.

73
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:02,580
- Okay. - Yes!

74
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,820
Wow.

75
00:10:22,390 --> 00:10:24,300
This relief sculpture looks quite old.

76
00:10:30,510 --> 00:10:31,250
This snake...

77
00:10:32,910 --> 00:10:33,420
Doesn't it look familiar?

78
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,890
It's like the one you chased away.

79
00:10:45,790 --> 00:10:46,420
And this

80
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,580
looks like the shadow

81
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,300
you chased after.

82
00:10:55,630 --> 00:10:56,800
We have the snake

83
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,930
and the shadow.

84
00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:01,130
Then, the other monsters on this relief sculpture...

85
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:07,060
Don't tell me they are all here.

86
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,530
So, we are in the Underworld.

87
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,010
I don't see any indicator that we're in the Underworld.

88
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:13,770
You keep saying it.

89
00:11:14,390 --> 00:11:15,650
You must love being in the Underworld.

90
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:18,700
It's my hunch.

91
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,420
Someone built the wall.

92
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,100
Someone carved this relief sculpture.

93
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,530
And they did a mediocre job.

94
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:25,770
If the Underworld was this shabby,

95
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,770
there would be no point in becoming immortals.

96
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,580
So where do you think we are right now?

97
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,980
I'm not sure yet.

98
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,650
You might as well not say anything.

99
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,890
I need you

100
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,010
to see another place.

101
00:11:43,550 --> 00:11:44,530
There are many cracks here.

102
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:46,250
This place was the furthest I went just now.

103
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,250
These cracks are unusual.

104
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,460
Come check them with me.

105
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,730
This is the place.

106
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:06,340
I can hear the wind.

107
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:12,460
You didn't hear that just now?

108
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:13,650
No.

109
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,890
There is wind.

110
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:59,180
This crack might lead to the outside.

111
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,250
The Zhang Clan are good contortionists.

112
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:05,820
Go ahead.

113
00:13:07,390 --> 00:13:08,610
You overestimate me, Fifth Master.

114
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,700
I knew it.

115
00:13:11,550 --> 00:13:12,820
Now, listen to me.

116
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,490
There are only two possibilities.

117
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:18,730
One.

118
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,300
It's the hellish gust.

119
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,650
The other side of the crack is the Underworld.

120
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:25,700
If we crawl through,

121
00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:28,010
we'll be in the tongue-ripping level

122
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,890
to be tortured.

123
00:13:29,630 --> 00:13:30,850
Two.

124
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,220
It is as you have said.

125
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,980
This is not the Underworld. We're still alive.

126
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,490
And this crack leads to the ground above.

127
00:13:38,910 --> 00:13:39,370
So?

128
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,460
Which one do you believe in?

129
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,730
Both are pointless.

130
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:51,940
The crack is too narrow.

131
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:53,580
To further verify,

132
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,220
we need another passage.

133
00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:56,940
No need.

134
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,820
I didn't know you tamed birds too, Fifth Master.

135
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,100
Our clan is famous for taming dogs.

136
00:14:12,030 --> 00:14:13,580
But that doesn't mean it's the only thing we do.

137
00:14:14,910 --> 00:14:16,060
In this martial arts world,

138
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:18,300
everyone has a trick up their sleeve.

139
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,060
You don't know as much as you think you do.

140
00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:23,460
Right, Tu?

141
00:14:25,150 --> 00:14:25,890
Fly out now.

142
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,700
Hold it for me.

143
00:14:52,630 --> 00:14:53,580
I'll draw something

144
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,730
to tell Tiezui to perform the ritual

145
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:56,730
and meet with us here.

146
00:14:59,030 --> 00:15:00,130
Tu will fly out.

147
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,250
If it flies back to my residence,

148
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,060
people of my clan

149
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:12,530
will bring this drawing to the Otherworld Tower.

150
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,610
Tu will make its way through the collapsed waterway

151
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,180
and locate Juanlian.

152
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:29,250
Eighth Master, Miss Huo,

153
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,530
a drawing from Fifth Master.

154
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:35,980
That way, we can all regroup.

155
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:38,820
And it also means we have found a way out.

156
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,370
But if no one comes,

157
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:44,530
it means it's a dead end.

158
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,850
Regardless,

159
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,890
Tu's journey

160
00:16:00,910 --> 00:16:02,100
will give us

161
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,890
the answer.

162
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,650
Tu.

163
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:06,610
Go now.

164
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:15,580
I checked everywhere.

165
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,820
There is no contraption.

166
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,250
I've dug the cracks

167
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,610
on the floor and wall.

168
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,250
We forgot one place.

169
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:30,820
So high.

170
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,580
How do we get up?

171
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:33,850
We'll have to fly.

172
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:38,100
Tiezui.

173
00:16:38,630 --> 00:16:39,460
Light a joss stick for me.

174
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,490
Seal all cracks.

175
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,580
If the smoke rises vertically,

176
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,220
it means the roof is tightly sealed.

177
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:00,610
There is no exit above us.

178
00:17:02,750 --> 00:17:03,770
But if the smoke is slanted,

179
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,810
it means the roof is hiding something.

180
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,950
Gosh.

181
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,940
Such a small door.

182
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,090
Where does it lead to?

183
00:18:11,030 --> 00:18:12,810
Perhaps to the hall of the Underworld King?

184
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,380
If that's the case,

185
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,290
that means

186
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,810
what I said was right.

187
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,900
And you are in the wrong.

188
00:18:22,510 --> 00:18:23,860
That is so embarrassing for you.

189
00:18:24,550 --> 00:18:26,530
I'd love to see that,

190
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:29,220
but dying next to you

191
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:31,010
is rotten luck.

192
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,490
Fifth Master, you have become

193
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,250
more adorable now that you're here.

194
00:18:34,590 --> 00:18:35,490
Of course.

195
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:37,420
If I'm going to die,

196
00:18:37,550 --> 00:18:38,730
I'm going to die happily.

197
00:18:39,550 --> 00:18:41,420
Unlike you, Master Zhang.

198
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,380
You'll die sulking.

199
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:44,660
In your next life,

200
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,220
you might become a sulking bullfrog.

201
00:19:26,030 --> 00:19:26,530
There's a contraption.

202
00:20:10,590 --> 00:20:11,810
This thing does not have a face.

203
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,090
The Otherworld Patriarch before also didn't have a face.

204
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:17,380
So, he must be the Otherworld Patriarch.

205
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:24,050
No.

206
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:25,420
He wears an official's robe.

207
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,770
Is he the Underworld King?

208
00:20:30,510 --> 00:20:31,290
A fake one.

209
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,940
Made from clay.

210
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:36,380
A fake Underworld King?

211
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,090
Something's off about his position as well.

212
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,530
If he's watching the play,

213
00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:47,180
he should be sitting right in front of the stage.

214
00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:49,290
Why is he behind the stage?

215
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,530
And there are three things on his face.

216
00:20:55,550 --> 00:20:56,250
What do they mean?

217
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,140
It feels intentional.

218
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:01,050
Punishment.

219
00:21:01,550 --> 00:21:02,490
It means punishment.

220
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:04,490
Punishment?

221
00:21:10,790 --> 00:21:12,050
Is this a test?

222
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,180
If you fail the test, you will be punished.

223
00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:15,940
What test is it?

224
00:21:17,030 --> 00:21:17,660
Let's split up and search.

225
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:23,330
I am not your subordinate.

226
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,810
Say "Please."

227
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,330
They even have tea and fruits.

228
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,980
They must be here for the play.

229
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,090
But it's so dark in here. How are they going to perform?

230
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,460
How will the fake Underworld King enjoy the play?

231
00:21:59,510 --> 00:22:00,700
Very suspicious.

232
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:16,940
To my fellow audience,

233
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,330
thank you for your support.

234
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,770
As I ring the gong,

235
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,010
a good spectacle will unfold!

236
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,180
I'm a genius.

237
00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:12,450
Yikes.

238
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,380
They are dried corpses.

239
00:23:43,030 --> 00:23:43,730
Where are their skulls?

240
00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:49,490
Remember the waterway we were in?

241
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:52,530
So, these are their bodies.

242
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,770
Their skulls are in the waterway.

243
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,010
And their bodies continue to perform in the Underworld.

244
00:24:00,070 --> 00:24:01,530
Someone must have arranged it that way.

245
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:04,140
Since someone did this,

246
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,730
it means we're not in the Underworld.

247
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,770
I'm afraid I'm right.

248
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,570
Not you.

249
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:12,900
But that snake just now

250
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,290
was not manmade.

251
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,860
Master Zhang.

252
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,180
We worked together in the past.

253
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,810
Don't tell me you have no idea

254
00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:27,900
what this place reminds you of.

255
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:30,700
Perhaps.

256
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,140
Let's split up and search for the exit, please.

257
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,810
I found a contraption here.

258
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:42,180
There's a hidden door here.

259
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,570
The corpses are placed on a rotating platform.

260
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:50,770
It can rotate

261
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,810
and there is a latch inside.

262
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,570
That should be the key to the door.

263
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,050
Solve the puzzle

264
00:25:59,030 --> 00:25:59,980
and the door will open.

265
00:26:02,030 --> 00:26:02,900
Do you have the solution?

266
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,420
I have no idea.

267
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,810
But it must have something to do with this play.

268
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,140
How am I supposed to know which play this is?

269
00:26:15,270 --> 00:26:15,940
Can you force

270
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:16,980
the door open?

271
00:26:17,790 --> 00:26:18,730
It's full of contraptions.

272
00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:36,090
And a sophisticated one at that.

273
00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:40,730
You're smart.

274
00:26:41,550 --> 00:26:42,420
You actually discovered this.

275
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,180
So, we're not in the Underworld, after all.

276
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,010
As always, you are right,

277
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:49,700
Master Zhang.

278
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:52,250
Only humans can solve a puzzle.

279
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,050
Can you solve it?

280
00:26:56,830 --> 00:26:57,810
This puzzle?

281
00:26:59,030 --> 00:26:59,900
I have heard a thing or two.

282
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,330
It's called the Golden Toad's Gift.

283
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:03,900
Instead of saying

284
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,530
that this door is a contraption,

285
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,140
it's more accurate

286
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,010
to say the whole room is a contraption.

287
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,770
Everything is interconnected.

288
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,330
Stay behind me.

289
00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:17,460
I'll show you how it's done.

290
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:19,250
Fine. I know you're strong.

291
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:20,460
But listen to me.

292
00:27:21,070 --> 00:27:22,330
If you open this door by force,

293
00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:24,250
no one knows what will happen next.

294
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:25,780
You can show off,

295
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,620
but what if it harms the people outside?

296
00:27:28,350 --> 00:27:29,570
Unit 401, Tianpeng,

297
00:27:29,790 --> 00:27:30,860
and the people in Liunian Hall.

298
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,810
How can you make sure they are safe?

299
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,420
That's why

300
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:40,220
we should start

301
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,660
from the stage.

302
00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:56,540
[Madam Wang's Lecture]

303
00:27:57,350 --> 00:27:58,460
Madam Wang's

304
00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:00,940
Torture?

305
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:01,940
What?

306
00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:07,460
It's so dark here.

307
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:09,090
Can I borrow your light?

308
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:12,290
Don't you have a torchlight?

309
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:12,940
It died.

310
00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:16,730
Madam Wang's Lecture.

311
00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:19,140
Madam Wang's Lecture?

312
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,980
I know this play.

313
00:28:23,070 --> 00:28:25,180
It's a play about a woman teaching her son.

314
00:28:28,550 --> 00:28:29,940
The Underworld keeps up with the trend, I see.

315
00:28:31,270 --> 00:28:32,090
This play

316
00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:33,380
came out not long ago.

317
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,220
Two dynasties ago, at most.

318
00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:41,730
Second Master has sung it before.

319
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,010
Surely, you must know his performance.

320
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,220
I was busy.

321
00:28:46,590 --> 00:28:47,250
I didn't stay for long.

322
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,490
I don't like to watch plays either.

323
00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:51,980
It's too long-winded.

324
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,250
Unlike the thrilling Havoc in Heaven.

325
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:10,940
Wait.

326
00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:14,180
The costumes

327
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,380
are indeed costumes from Madam Wang's Lecture.

328
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:18,010
But the hats

329
00:29:19,030 --> 00:29:19,490
are all wrong.

330
00:29:20,510 --> 00:29:22,530
If I remember correctly, no one wears hats in this play.

331
00:29:24,270 --> 00:29:24,810
Does it matter?

332
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,770
It's just against the rules.

333
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,290
An opera stage is a place of entertainment.

334
00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:34,140
It is sacrilegious to defile it like this.

335
00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:36,420
The Otherworld Patriarch

336
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,660
is wicked.

337
00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:40,380
He sure is.

338
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,730
I know what he's watching.

339
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,620
He's not

340
00:29:48,510 --> 00:29:49,940
watching the play on the stage.

341
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,290
He's watching how we solve the puzzle.

342
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,650
If we solve it wrongly, we'll be punished.

343
00:30:02,590 --> 00:30:05,500
Do those three things have anything to do with our punishment?

344
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:07,290
Do not blink then, Otherworld Patriarch.

345
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:10,810
Master Zhang.

346
00:30:11,790 --> 00:30:13,490
Which opera should we sing right now?

347
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:15,050
Farewell My Concubine

348
00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:16,730
or A Fisherman Kills A Family?

349
00:30:49,790 --> 00:30:50,530
There's a hole.

350
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:53,770
Is there

351
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:55,090
a contraption above?

352
00:31:32,350 --> 00:31:32,900
Fifth Master?

353
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,460
It's Fifth Master's hand!

354
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,730
All of you saw it, right?

355
00:31:43,030 --> 00:31:43,860
Fifth Master is above us.

356
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,180
Fifth Master must be in trouble.

357
00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:58,900
Zhang Xiaoyu.

358
00:31:59,350 --> 00:32:00,810
Ask your men to make a human ladder.

359
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,220
We'll take a closer look

360
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:02,900
at the hole.

361
00:32:04,110 --> 00:32:04,860
It's too high.

362
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,570
It'll take a lot of men to make a human ladder,

363
00:32:07,110 --> 00:32:08,330
and the bottom ones won't be able to handle it.

364
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,380
I'll be the base.

365
00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:12,730
The Zhang Clan is so weak.

366
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:13,660
If you can do it,

367
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:14,940
do it yourself then.

368
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:15,730
You...

369
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,980
I see it now.

370
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,900
You never intend to help.

371
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:20,730
Fine.

372
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,980
Don't forget

373
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,330
that besides our master,

374
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,090
your master might also be stuck

375
00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:25,090
in the hole above us.

376
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:25,860
Even if he is,

377
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,010
it is not your place to worry about him.

378
00:32:27,270 --> 00:32:28,420
We couldn't even hear your master,

379
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,940
let alone see his hand.

380
00:32:30,350 --> 00:32:31,620
I bet your master is already dead.

381
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:32,460
Our master will still be alive

382
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,250
even after your entire clan is dead.

383
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:33,700
What did you just say?

384
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,050
Enough.

385
00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:34,860
Enough!

386
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,010
Stop!

387
00:32:36,010 --> 00:32:36,590
Let's fight it out.

388
00:32:36,590 --> 00:32:37,330
Calm down!

389
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:39,490
We cannot fight among ourselves now.

390
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,330
Laogou, what are you trying to do?

391
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,460
Madam Wang's Lecture

392
00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:15,660
tells the story about a widow

393
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,330
raising her rebellious son

394
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,940
until her son becomes a top scholar.

395
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:25,140
But judging from the son's look,

396
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,900
he is quite rebellious.

397
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,650
So this puzzle wants us to play the role of the mother

398
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:30,290
and lecture him.

399
00:33:38,830 --> 00:33:40,250
The face bears the word "punishment".

400
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,570
If we do it wrongly,

401
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,730
we'll be punished.

402
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,940
Just do it correctly.

403
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,290
Spare the rod and spoil the child.

404
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:54,800
The old teacher next to my house

405
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:55,640
always says that.

406
00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:00,730
One rod for Madam Wang.

407
00:34:10,110 --> 00:34:11,090
One rod for Performer One.

408
00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:13,420
One rod for Performer Two.

409
00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:19,610
This seems right.

410
00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:23,300
You must have had a tough childhood.

411
00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:25,820
He'll be caned to death.

412
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:35,650
They say you are fair

413
00:34:36,590 --> 00:34:37,610
and merciful.

414
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:44,010
Unfortunately,

415
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,740
your merciful light

416
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:46,940
does not reach

417
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,530
insignificant people like me.

418
00:34:53,070 --> 00:34:54,420
Since your light doesn't reach anyone,

419
00:34:56,110 --> 00:34:58,130
Changsha can still live with or without you.

420
00:34:59,510 --> 00:35:01,380
I hope we can find Unit 401 soon

421
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:04,650
so that you'll leave the Mystic Nine.

422
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,420
It seems like I have a knack

423
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,940
for raising kids.

424
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,210
Perhaps I can open an academy once I'm out.

425
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,530
Another stage behind a stage?

426
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:07,050
The back of the Underworld King statue?

427
00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:23,340
This should be

428
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,940
the latter half of Madam Wang's Lecture.

429
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,460
So the son grows up

430
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,530
and becomes evil.

431
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:37,650
Who canes their mother?

432
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:41,260
No.

433
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,740
Did we solve the puzzle wrongly?

434
00:36:46,110 --> 00:36:47,210
But the door opened.

435
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,300
Laogou.

436
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,650
There is another door.

437
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,610
I can't open the door.

438
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,260
I'm afraid this is the only exit.

439
00:37:08,190 --> 00:37:10,610
Raise the son well, and only then will the door open.

440
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:13,530
I see it now.

441
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,740
This is the karma Tiezui always talks about.

442
00:37:17,590 --> 00:37:18,980
We planted a bad seed in the first stage,

443
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,010
so we get a bad ending in the second stage.

444
00:37:22,070 --> 00:37:23,530
Only when we raise the son well in the first stage

445
00:37:24,590 --> 00:37:25,900
can we have a good ending,

446
00:37:26,670 --> 00:37:27,740
and the door will open.

447
00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:30,050
But we did it incorrectly just now.

448
00:37:31,110 --> 00:37:32,130
And we weren't punished.

449
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,260
Let's try a thousand times.

450
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,210
We'll get it right eventually.

451
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,300
Is this whole thing a setup

452
00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:40,820
to lecture us?

453
00:37:44,190 --> 00:37:45,170
The Otherworld Patriarch

454
00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:46,780
sure is more patronizing than you are.

455
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,130
We're going to try a thousand times.

456
00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:50,650
So don't just stand there.

457
00:37:51,070 --> 00:37:52,340
Let's try again in the first stage.

458
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,940
Please put your talent to good use.

459
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,210
I...

460
00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:56,980
I...

461
00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:17,260
On this stage,

462
00:38:17,710 --> 00:38:19,380
what the characters are holding

463
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,130
has a purpose.

464
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,900
It's right for the servants to be carrying refreshments and trays.

465
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,780
But it'd be ridiculous

466
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,820
if Madam Wang was carrying them.

467
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,130
Right.

468
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:33,820
Let's follow this rule

469
00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:35,050
and put the props in the right place.

470
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:36,090
Okay.

471
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:40,940
What is it?

472
00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:42,740
The wool balls.

473
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:44,380
There's one extra.

474
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,460
There's one extra wool ball.

475
00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:49,530
The hats have to be made in a particular way.

476
00:39:50,110 --> 00:39:52,210
It's against the rule to have one extra wool ball.

477
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,530
What is the usual rule?

478
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:54,980
A pair of sevens.

479
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,780
There should be 14 wool balls.

480
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,050
It has 14 wool balls.

481
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:04,940
No way.

482
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,650
I counted 15 just now.

483
00:40:11,150 --> 00:40:12,650
9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

484
00:40:14,670 --> 00:40:15,420
14.

485
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,260
What?

486
00:40:19,590 --> 00:40:20,860
Your eyesight is quite bad.

487
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,900
Did I see it wrongly?

488
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,530
1, 2, 3,

489
00:40:57,670 --> 00:41:00,050
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

490
00:41:00,050 --> 00:41:00,740
11, 12.

491
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,210
15.

492
00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:05,300
Zhang Qishan.

493
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:07,900
Zhang Qishan.

494
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:10,860
There are 15.

495
00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:23,420
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

496
00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:24,780
11, 12, 13,

497
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,420
14.

498
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:28,420
There are 15.

499
00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:29,300
The wool ball...

500
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:34,940
Forget it.

501
00:41:35,710 --> 00:41:36,940
You'll never believe me anyway.

502
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:41,820
No, I do.
