(Why did she give this to me?)

(This father and daughter...)

(What secret are they hiding?)

(Strange.)

(This aura feels so familiar.)

(The auras of these two things...)

(Why are they so alike?)

(Could they share the same origin?)

Wanniang,

wait for me a little longer.

Father,

will Mother

really come back?

She will. I'm certain.

By then,

will I...

Will I still be here?

Father,

if this can

fulfill your wish,

I will

die without regret.

What are you trying to do?

When we swap bodies,

you'll find out.

I won't hide it from you anymore.

You touched one of Zhong Jiang's clay figures?

How did you know?

Why can't you ever listen?

Why did you go to him?

Do you remember

the bamboo slip we found

under that dead tree at the foot of the mountain?

In Zhong Jiang's shop,

I sensed the same aura.

So what?

You knew it was dangerous and still went near him.

That counts as merit.

You knew all along something was wrong with Zhong Jiang, didn't you?

How did you know?

Who exactly is Zhong Jiang?

What's the use of talking about it now?

I'll take you to him.

How can this be?

I'll send men to find him.

No.

I'll handle it.

Zhong Jiang went to the brick kiln west of the city.

So that's where he went.

Daughter,

you'll see your mother soon.

Diviner Song.

Pretty lady, you...

You came to play with me.

You two...

What are you doing?

This is my business.

None of your concern.

Get out!

Don't be afraid, miss.

I...

I'll soon get to see

my mother.

Come play with me,

won't you?

Zhong Jiang,

you'd actually use your own daughter

for clay-figure soul molding?

I'll soon...

I'll soon bring Wanniang back.

I will never...

never let anyone stop me!

How did you come by this method?

Who told you?

Since you've found out,

neither of you

is leaving here today.

Watch out!

I'll handle them.

Using the living to mold a soul for the dead...

This is a dark art

the Shaman Clan banned long ago.

How did you learn this method?

Heaven wants me to see Wanniang again.

How could I not seize it?

What I seek

is none of your business.

Why stop me?

You'd trade your own daughter's life

for your wife's?

Have you lost your mind?

I'm willing.

All these years since Mother left,

Father has been full of regret and pain.

I miss my mother too.

I share blood with her.

I'm the best vessel.

I'm willing.

Those whose souls are molded

endure piercing pain every day.

You can't possibly bear such suffering.

Wan,

trust me.

It's almost done.

It's almost done.

Trust me.

Even if she comes back,

she'll never be reincarnated again.

Her soul may even dissipate completely.

Everything you've done

will be for nothing.

For someone who may no longer exist,

you'd sacrifice your daughter's life.

Is it worth it?

Whether it's worth it is for me to decide.

I... I will bring Wanniang back.

Wan,

I'll bring you back too.

Trust me.

Trust me, alright?

She can't come back!

Shut up!

Keep meddling,

and I'll make you Wan's vessel.

You...

You know martial arts?

You're the one who saved me that night?

Miss Chu Li,

now's not the time for reminiscing.

Clay-figure soul molding: the soul-molding core

is on Zhong Jiang's body.

In that case,

I'll clear the way for you.

Miss,

I'm willing to give my life

to bring my mother back.

Spare my father,

please.

Your mother can't come back.

Don't be a fool.

Once the dark art begins,

you can only become a sacrifice.

There's no way back.

She really

can't come back?

Miss,

can you help me then?

I'm in so much pain.

I don't have much time left.

I don't want to be tormented like this anymore.

Help me.

I really can't hold on.

It hurts so much.

Wan.

Don't hurt my daughter.

Don't hurt my daughter!

No!

I'm sorry.

I can't save you.

I can only end your pain.

Thank you, miss.

Father,

I'm sorry.

What a pity.

I haven't seen the sun in so long.

Wan...

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you!

Wan,

I failed you.

I'm truly sorry.

Our family of three

can finally be together again.

Now we're in trouble.

With Zhong Jiang dead,

I need to find another craftsman to meet the deadline.

What a hassle.

That's not the way back.

Where are you going?

Zhong Jiang, an ordinary craftsman,

actually knew the Shaman Clan's forbidden art.

Something's off.

I'm going to check his brick kiln.

Miss Chu Li,

always so concerned for the realm.

Diviner Song,

save your sarcasm.

Please record today's events in the register.

This counts as merit, doesn't it?

The day I become Grand Shaman

shouldn't be far off now.

Fine.

Then I'll go pick a fight with the Grand Shaman right now

and make her step down for you.

Sure.

Go ahead.

You really have the heart to do that?

Of course.

By the way, Diviner Song,

I never knew a civil official like you

had such skill in combat.

Were you

just pretending before?

How did you know

Zhong Jiang's clay figures were off?

Why did you cover your face when you saved me?

Why pretend you didn't know martial arts?

Song Ziyuan, explain yourself!

It's a secret.

You...

Sooner or later, I'll uncover your secret

and see what kind of man you really are!

(Family Heirloom)

It's inside.

Song Ziyuan,

there's a hidden passage here.

♪Night rain falls in the courtyard, shining on mortal partings♪

♪Strangers meet again, past lives gleam in endless hues♪

♪A sharp arrow pierces memory♪

♪Longing spreads like dye♪

♪Beaded curtains keep love and hate apart♪

♪Through boundless grief, love remains hard to sever♪

♪A past bond, a parting dream; when cold ends, purest joy remains♪

♪That year, pear blossoms, verse, and laughter♪

♪One night, snow fell in wild flurries♪

♪All perfection in this world hides regret♪

♪A drop of heart's blood seals love♪

♪No more longing enters dreams♪

♪When all turns to mist, may you and I be safe forever♪

♪Through boundless grief, love remains hard to sever♪

♪A past bond, a parting dream; when cold ends, purest joy remains♪
