[Episode 24]

Ning Que.

Ning Que, last night, three
singular groups tried to kill you.

Since you knew, why not save me?

- Fu Zi's order stopped us going.
- No loyalty.

If not for 2nd-Senior Brother,
you'd be dead.

2nd-Senior came?

I said nothing.
You heard nothing.

I knew the Academy
wouldn't abandon me.

Quiet. Keep it a secret.

Who were those people?

They were Grand Prince's lot,
Xia Hou's lot,

and a Xiling Cultivator.

Xia Hou.

Just who are you?

Why are so many people after you?

Just think of me as a bad guy.

One look tells me
you're up to no good.

You barely did anything

and troubles follow you.

I believe

you'll be the scourge
of Rear Mountain.

Tubby.

What did you say?

You...Little Bro, I only
want to protect you.

I promise you,

now you've entered Rear Mountain,
no-one will bully you.

Sure?

Sure! You entered Rear Mountain
so it's your home.

We're your close family.

I, Chen Pipi,

am your Big Brother.

Brother, come here.

Why hit me?

I was orphaned young.

- Now I've found dear family!
- What are you doing?

Sorry, Little Bro.

Who'd think this Tubby
has such an impressive move!

Truly incredible.

Solemn. Scholarly.

Very important qualities here.

Got it?

Little Bro?

Mm.

Mm.

I'll take you around to see
nice Rear Mountain scenery

and introduce you to
all our Seniors.

Okay.

What are you doing? Let go!

Let go of me!

Pipi greets 7th-Senior Sister.

Ning Que greets 7th-Senior Sister.

Little Bro, why not block it?

7th-Senior Sister's
embroidery needle

had no intent to kill.

You're correct.

Little Bro is very impressive.

No wonder you passed through
my Great Cloud Mist Array.

Pipi, now you have a Little Bro,

you can be lazy.

You!

7th-Senior Sister, I must take him
to the other Seniors. I'll leave.

Ning Que takes his leave.

7th-Senior Sister is Mu You.

You climbed through
her Cloud Mist Array.

Ancient sages created it

but she improves and
maintains it.

So her Cloud Mist Array
tormented my climb.

Not just one Array.
Also...ow, ow!

Hurry, go. Hotbed of trouble.

On flute is 9th Senior,
Beigong Weiyang.

The zither player is
10th Senior, Ximen Buhuo.

They're from South Sea

and great at music.

As for Cultivation specialty,

I fear even they don't know.

They don't know?

What Cultivators don't know
their specialties?

Their studies

were tailored by Fu Zi.

These past few years,

they hit a snag.

They're stuck on one tune.

Their speciality is unknown.

How boring it is.

How boring it is.

How boring!

- Chen Pipi, what's up with you?
- What about you?

This is...

Ninth Senior!
Tenth Senior!

Let me off! I was wrong!

I know I was wrong! Let me off!

Tenth Senior Brother! I was wrong!

Let me go!

I know I was wrong!
Tenth Senior!

Let me off!

Chen Pipi, who said I don't know

my Cultivation specialty?

9th Senior...9th Senior...
9th Senior!

9th Senior, why hit me?

Where'd your manners go?

You deserved it.

10th Senior, even you...

9th Senior and I are working
on Grand Musical Path.

A layman like Pipi who only
fights with nascent Qi

won't appreciate music's beauty.

I hope you're no such layman.

Little Bro, you were impressive
climbing the other day.

Grandmaster Yan Se said you
could become a Talisman Expert.

I assume you're good at music.

One day, come and learn with me.

Senior Brothers.

I know nothing about music.

Music and painting are
two beautiful things.

Art is about

crossing disciplines.

You've never had the chance.

Now you've met me and Beigong,
you won't know nothing.

Seniors, he must see
2nd-Senior Bro.

I'll take him with me now.

Down here, pay respects
to 11th-Senior Bro.

He's a philosopher.

- Pipi greets 11th-Senior Bro.
- Ning Que greets 11th-Senior Bro.

- This is?
- Swinging.

For an unpeaceful,
ambitious heart,

swinging is disastrous.

For a calm mind and
heart like still water,

swinging is blissful.

- I think... - You think what
you think is what you think?

Is it objective observation
or subjective imagination?

You still haven't told me

- what this is.
- What is it?

What is swinging?

What is it?

Swinging is swinging.

11th Senior, it's Little Bro's
first day at Rear Mountain.

I still have to take him
to meet the other Seniors.

Discuss this another day?

Little Bro takes his leave.

Little Brother!

Come and help me with my
dialectic pursuit one day?

Okay. O-okay.

4th and 6th Seniors are here.

That Trail of Pains underfoot
was 6th Senior's masterpiece.

Pipi pays his respect
to Sixth Senior Brother.

Ning Que pays you respect.

Are your feet okay?

You're a craftsman.

He's the world's best,

especially with armour and weapons.

Many Generals

wear armour made by 6th Senior.

Bright Armour of Xia Hou,
Northern Commander,

is 6th Senior's work.

And it's also my best work so far.

So what makes Xia Hou's
Bright Armour unique?

You'd have to ask 4th Senior.

Pipi pays respects.

Ning Que pays respects.

Hardness 4 and thickness 4

take five years to form.

Bro, this turtle pattern

resists frontal impact.

What about lateral impact?

A warrior, body-shielded by Qi,

will find it hard

to activate armour patterns.

Let me think on it.

Hm.

Your Fourth Senior is
studying armour patterns

to weaponize them

and create an armour
better than Bright.

He's at a bottleneck

and won't chat.
Don't take it personally.

They made Xia Hou's armour.

It's impenetrable.

Look at our pretty lakeside.

Glittering water,
chattering frogs.

Bright Armour.
Xia Hou's Bright Armour.

Ning Que, what's wrong?

Nothing. I bet 6th Bro never
lets his workshop fire go out.

It was too hot.

No worries. Come eat pastry.

I'm not done.

5th and 8th Seniors are
chess pals.

They were South Jin and Yue Lun
chess masters respectively.

They tied for 10 rounds

before being Academy Bros.

They haven't given up.

When they have time,

they play chess under
a pine tree for 10 days.

Rear Mountain is full of weirdos.

Okay. Let's go.

Just a minute!

Let's go.

You know 3rd-Senior.

She copies books in Old Library.

What food is this?

Don't ask me why she copies.

It's Fu Zi's instruction.

I didn't ask about her.
I asked about the food.

Just eat.

Big Brother

is traveling with Fu Zi,
so you won't see him.

We'll see 2nd Senior.

The other Seniors are eccentric

but they're nice.
2nd-Senior is serious and stern.

Watch your behaviour around him
or get flogged.

What's proper behaviour?

Why ask me?
You're such a showman.

Approach him like you did
the other Seniors.

I never imagined

you're so good at acting.

A wise man adapts.

A loser doesn't.

2nd-Senior Bro has
a peculiar quality.

He is proud. And he hates
people more arrogant than him.

Am I arrogant? You're more so.

That's why he hates me!

Just watch yourself.

Let's go. See 2nd-Senior Bro.

This is tasty. What is it?

Toad cake.

Pipi pays respects.

Ning Que pays respects.

Get up.

How's the Academy?

Good. All the Seniors are great.

Thank you for aiding me
the other day. Chen Pipi told me.

If not for you,
I wouldn't be here.

My respect for you is deeper
than sea, wider than sky.

Your sword stroke

was beyond this world!

Your reputation alone
could overwhelm Liu Bai.

You're the best of
the best swordsmen.

You were too weak,
attacked by a nobody.

If you don't work hard,

you will end up

shaming Rear Mountain.

Please teach me.

Accessing Rear Mountain
is never easy.

Now you've entered,

have you thought how
you can exit?

Exit?

I just got here.
Why would I leave?

The world is full of stupid people,

all wanting to associate with
the Academy, not least Rear Mountain.

But if your heart isn't pure,
Rear Mountain will disavow you.

Whenever it happens,

I'm the one who tells the world–

"disavowed".

Rear Mountain is also
called Second Floor.

Cultivators granted access

are all hand picked by Fu Zi.

You are the thirteenth chosen.

This amber Token

was handmade by Fu Zi.

It contains his energy
and mind power.

Cultivators consider it
Fu Zi's embodiment.

One day it will be
your token of status.

As you receive it, remember

you'll be the subject of
the world's blind idolatry

and will carry responsibility

to protect the Academy
and Empire. Got it?

Yes, 2nd-Senior Bro.

Thank you, 2nd-Senior Bro.

2nd Senior, I have a question.

I entered Second Floor to learn,
but what shall I learn?

First, you're in Doubtless Realm.

Your nascent Qi is pitiful

so you can learn nothing here.

Second, Fu Zi decides
what you learn here.

We're teaching ourselves

but we consult 1st-Senior Bro
when we can't solve problems.

Fu Zi and 1st-Senior Bro are away

so make the most of it here.

So I've nothing to do till
1st-Senior Bro and Fu Zi return?

Wrong. You've a lot to do.

- For example?
- A lot.

Ning Que, since you
joined Rear Mountain,

do you see your life

in a new, blissful light?

Pipi, the one whose life
has a new and blissful light

isn't him, but you, right?

Little Bro, don't be afraid.

Relax and embrace the new life.

That's an odd goose.

It eats the fish?

There's nothing odd. It's mine.

My goose.

Eunuch Lin.

13th Disciple. His Majesty
seeks you again.

Outside the city, 10 miles
away from this Palace,

is Azure Mountain.

In summer, the wind is
cool through the trees.

It beats the throne,

listening to courtiers bickering

and plotting and scheming.

I wanted to build a palace
outside the city.

But courtiers were tearful.

They cited laws made
by my ancestors

as authority to stop me.

I'm the Emperor,

yet can't live where I want.

Who imagined an Emperor
can be unhappy at times?

Some people would kill
to be my friend.

But Old Chao kept his distance.

We had a good time.

We drank at Red Sleeves Club

and swore as youngbloods to be
Brothers at Spring Breeze Pavilion.

I see! The Emperor is replacing
Chao Xiaoshu with me.

Ning Que. I liked you
the day I saw you

and I like the calligraphy
you left behind.

"A flower blooms..."

I want to tell him about
General Lin's household

but he's fondly talking
about Brother Chao.

How can I stop him?

Today is not the day.

Look, you did handsome
calligraphy work.

If I pay you money,

that's crass.

And I heard Grandmaster Yan Se
made you his Student

to be a Divine Talisman Expert.

I happen to have something
just right for you.

But I can't give it to you now.

You will have it one day

when you're initiated
in the Talismanic path.

- Thank you...
- Don't.

I told you, no formality.

Do you recall those

who tried to kill you the other day?

Did you see their faces?

Your assassins were sent
by Xia Hou, Grand Prince,

and a Xiling Cultivator.

It was too dark for my eyes.
I didn't see them.

And I didn't know them.

I see.

Some people live in darkness.

But in a way,

they help your Cultivation.

They make you a better Cultivator.

Thanks for your wise words.

It's such a blessing
that I was granted

access to Second Floor.

I will cherish it
as much as my life.

As for plots and schemes,

I believe dark clouds
won't blind your eyes.

As for the truth?

You are a wise emperor,

so you will see it one day.

I get what you mean.

But you were flattering me,

calling me a wise emperor.

Come, let's go downstairs.

Young Master, what did
the Emperor say to you?

This and that.

But he made me realize one thing.

My calligraphy is really
worth a fortune.

If I'd known I could write on
a sheet of paper for money,

I wouldn't have thrown away
so many notes.

Think of the 'money'
we threw away.

Do you think these will
fetch a good price?

Didn't I throw these away?

You got them back?

I couldn't see them gone.
They're yours.

Sang Sang, what would I
do without you?

What do you think these are?

What?

Paper money!

So much paper money!

Grandmaster Yan Se.

Grandmaster Yan Se?

Grandmaster Yan Se?

Grandmaster Yan Se.

It's not a day off, Great Scholar Wang.
Why aren't you at Court?

You'd have a good reason
to be here.

Truthfully, I had
a big fight with Old Jin.

That's unsurprising. Do tell.

What do you want of me?

His Majesty gave Jin his
'Imperial brush' copy of 'A Flower'.

Old Jin won't let me see it,
yet rubs my nose in it.

Your copy tried too hard
to follow the original

and lost its authenticity.

The copy His Majesty gave
Old Jin is better.

You're being unfair.

Experts know 'double hook'
script is closest

to replicate an original.

Let's say it is. So what?

Wait till I get the
'Chicken Soup Note'.

I'll make Old Jin mad.

Hold on. You said
Chicken Soup Note?

Yes. The Note you took
from Red Sleeves Club.

With 13th Disciple's fame,

everyone knows you have
this valuable piece.

Won't it be great if you
can let me have it?

Rumours travel faster
than Fu Zi's Talismans.

Bluntly, I, who served
three emperors,

came for your Student's writing.
Isn't that a big honour?

Grandmaster Yan Se, please
don't reject me.

Or we'll both look bad.

I see a popinjay in front of me.

It's not a good look.

I've known you decades.

I don't expect a senior Official

to go nuts over a triviality.

I'd let anything else go.

That old jerk Jin
pushed me too hard.

How can I set foot in Court
unless I sort him out?

Name your price.

30,000.

10,000.

20,000.

15,000.

Grandmaster Yan Se.

Take it!

Hurry!

Here.

Now you're looking good?

- Old Master, where to?
- Head home now!

Invite everyone to my
birthday party tomorrow

to see Chicken Soup copy.

Sir, you had your 60th birthday
last month.

Then my eldest son's second girl

has a birthday this month.

Invite that lass, Jin Wucai, too.

Above all, don't forget
her stupid dad.

Well...

What if Elder Jin doesn't come?

Then I'll personally invite him.

- Even if we drag him.
- Yes.

This way, Master.

(Lin 47 Street, East Town)

Teacher, good morning.

Good morning, my Student.
It's your first day learning.

- What's for today?
- Follow me.

Where? Not in the carriage?

Carriage, my butt.
You're so far from basics

of Talismans, you don't
merit a carriage.

Let's go.

Mister Ning! Mister Ning! Open up!

We're here to buy your calligraphy.

We have a lot of money.
Please open the door.

Open up! Mister Ning.

We have money. Open up!

Open it! We have money!

Open up!

Please open the door, Mister Ning!

Come on, open it!

Open the door! Open the door!

Teacher, Talismans do this?

Want to learn?

Making a fire in winter is
no worry if I can do this.

'Xihai Xueshan are
instrument strings'

is a decent metaphor.
But I think

Talisman drawn lines
are strings.

Cultivation plays a tune
Heaven and Earth appreciate.

A Talisman lets Heaven and Earth
see the wonder,

passing beyond the message

to reach the idea.

Hand.

Hey, no, no.

It's all wet.

Different mindfulness
and different lines

create different melodies

with different effects.

This is the Dao of Symbols
I'll teach you.

Despite my good calligraphy,

I can't write an article
and haven't read any Classics.

What do I do?

You'll write with ideas to share.

If you live mindlessly,

you won't be able to write,

even soaked in ink.

Dao of Symbols

takes talent to deliver
the final touch.

Few are lucky enough.

Teacher, am I lucky enough?

First Dao Symbol
was a coincidence,

but listen well.

It can only come from
deepest primal heart.

Again, your deepest primal heart.

Understand?

The tea is boiling.
Why sit there?

Okay! I'll go!

Xiao Cao, I've a question.

Sang Sang, it's been awhile.

Ning Que's to blame.

Jian Daijia told him not to come
so he'd focus on study.

So you stopped coming.

Young Master got drunk
at his class's party.

He wrote a Note here.

Know where it went?

Sister Dewdrop had it.

After so long, who'd know
where it is?

Then I'll go ask Sister Dewdrop.

- Let me in. - Let me in!

Don't know me? I'm
Marquis Anle's bro-in-law.

My lord offers 20,000 taels.

My bro-in-law offers 30,000.

What are you on about?

I don't have whatever it is.
Men, show them out.

- Go, go, go.
- Miss Dewdrop, I confirmed it.

You have Chicken Soup original.

Said who? Which scum is it?

Don't be mad.

There are things you
simply can't keep secret.

13th Disciples's note is
worth 1,000 taels per word.

To rich people like us,

everything has a price.

30,000.

It's not for sale!

Sang Sang?

Why not?

Sell the copies.

Copies?

Truthfully, copies will fetch
good prices in future.

But for us rich people,

we want what's unique.

What if Young Master signs
Grandmaster Yan Se's copies?

Grandmaster?

I can stamp them.

That...

- It's 13th Disciple's personal seal!
- Personal seal!

How much?

500 taels, each.

Deal.

I want 60 copies.
