Fine carvings.

The owner must be rich or noble.

Get rich this time.

Get rich.

Get rich. Get rich. Get rich.

Get rich.

Come on.

What the hell is it?

Go over there.

It's evil.

Why are they all knives?

You,

go check elsewhere.

Okay.

Master, Bad news.

Something happened in Sword Sacrifice Hall.

Up.

Up.

It’s always highly guarded.

How could it be stolen?

Where is the master?

Why hasn’t he come?

Master,

Master.

Lord Chifeng.

Sword Sacrifice Hall was invaded.

Where is Huaisang?

It matters, call him.

Master,

it’s about Sword Sacrifice Hall.

Second Young Master...

It's time to let him know about the sword spirit.

This time,

I want to take him with me.

Lord Lianfang,

Second Young Master,

Second Young Master.

Zonghui,

what’s up?

I'm practicing sword.

Look, Look.

A good scene of willows in moonlight

is ruined by you

and becomes a dead tree in moonlight.

Let me tell you.

My fan surface

is the find water-pattern fan from Qingyan Study.

It’s as thin as cicada’s wings and as exquisite as jade.

It must be steamed and sun baked for three times respectively.

You

are really boring.

Second Young Master,

master ask you to rush to the main hall

for important matters to discuss.

What does

my brother want to do?

Didn’t he ask me to read sword charts

in the study today?

Did he come up with a new move

to torture me?

Sword Sacrifice Hall has accident.

Master will set off to repair the tomb overnight.

He asked you

to come with him.

Me?

It’s important.

But you know a little.

What do you know exactly?

Master, pardon me.

I will go check it out.

Master, Second Young Master arrives.

Brother,

what’s up?

Sword Sacrifice Hall has accident.

We will set off overnight

to check the situation.

Brother, be careful all the way.

I mean us.

Be careful all the way.

Nie Huaisang.

This matter is related to Nie’s foundation.

If the sword spirit is really released,

not only the Nie family,

even the entire Qinghe will suffer.

As the Second Young Master,

you shirk over and over again.

What do you want to do?

Calm down.

That was not what I meant.

Look,

I’m really not good at martial arts.

I will just trouble you.

I should stay to take care of the family.

Right?

Where is your sword?

In the room.

No, no.

In, in the training field.

You take jade pendant

and fan with you.

But you don’t know where your sword is.

The Nie family’s instruction is to always keep sword at hand.

Did you take it as a joke?

Give me your brush.

What do you want?

Give it to me.

Brother.

Do you expect him to be the master?

I don't want to be the master.

Stop.

What did you say?

Repeat it.

I will let you know today

what the Nie family’s instruction is.

Master.

Fix attention.

Depart immediately. No delay.

Master's illness is getting worse.

I didn't expect that Mind Clearing Music can’t completely cure him.

Huaisang.

Brother didn't mean it.

Don't be mad at him.

He is targeting me.

He has looked down on me since childhood.

Everyone knows I’m not good at swordsmanship.

He must force me to go.

He was insulting me

in front of others.

You are wrong.

You know his sickness.

He didn't do it on purpose.

I come here

to treat him by playing flute.

You know him well.

He is always reckless and impulsive.

But you are not like him.

You have been reasoned and restrained since childhood.

You are good at Daoist magic.

So if you two are in trouble,

you can help each other.

Third Brother.

You know him.

He is always like this.

If he always acts like today,

I really don’t know what to do.

Therefore,

I bring this piccolo with you today.

This piccolo can play the effect of clearing mind.

I will teach you.

When you have an unstable mind,

you can play a short section of Mind Clearing Music.

Will it work?

Huaisang,

this journey is difficult.

But competent members of the Nie family will go with you.

With your brother

who was a great hero,

you will definitely be safe.

But...

Third Brother.

When you come back,

I can find some good stuff

for you.

Third Brother,

I am not afraid of difficult journeys

I’m not craving for toys either.

I just

have a very ominous hunch.

This is true for the first expedition.

When I first met the enemy with brother,

I also had this feeling.

Both of you are pillars of the Nie family.

You should work together.

You can also prove yourself.

Set off.

Slow down. Be alert.

What is this place?

Why is it so cold?

Second Young Master.

This is Xinglu Ridge.

It used to be a grave mound.

Grave mound.

Nie’s Sword Sacrifice Hall

is supposed not to be disturbed by outsiders.

So after the grave mound was built,

they set a maze...

Sword alert.

Master, help!

Zonghui.

Protect Huaisang to go out of Sword Sacrifice Hall.

You men, follow me.

Yes.

Go.

What is this?

This is a man winding vine.

As it can’t meet the sun all year round,

it absorbs nutrients by sucking flesh and blood.

What, what do they do?

Second Young Master, rest assured.

Master has excellent martial arts.

There will be no problem.

But it’s so foggy.

How do they know where we are?

Second Young Master, rest assured.

Nothing will happen.

Brother.

It’s brother.

Second Young Master.

Flute.

He will know where we are when hearing the flute.

Brother.

Brother.

Master.

Are you OK?

Master.

What about the rest?

All dead.

It’s man winding vine?

No.

It’s puppet.

Puppet?

Puppet...

How could it be here?

Run.

Form formation.

Go.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Vines are

raging here.

It must be because the balance of the sword spirit

inside the Sword Sacrifice Hall has been broken.

We only have to reach the main tomb

to balance the sword spirit

so to repair the tricks.

There are more crises underground...

Everyone must be extremely careful.

The matrix that controls this gate has been destroyed.

We need to get to Green Dragon and White Tiger Chambers

to repair matrix first.

Huaisang,

you and I each lead a team respectively.

We’ll go separately.

Remember.

After entering the tomb,

the tomb door will close automatically.

After repairing the formation,

we need to touch the key respectively

to return here.

Don't delay too long.

Otherwise it will be disastrous.

I’ll go.

Brother.

I am not good at martial arts.

If I am in trouble...

Huaisang.

You know the most about astronomy in our sect.

Don't be afraid.

Zonghui will go with you

to protect you.

Zonghui.

Watch out for walls.

Form formation.

Second Young Master, take it easy.

After we reset matrix, this door will open naturally.

There are complicated tricks here.

What can we reset it?

Green Dragon is in the 7th eastern palace of the twenty-eight stars.

What corresponding here

may be star.

Eastern Seven Palaces are

Jiao (horn), Kang (gullet), Di (base), Fang (chamber), Xin (heart), Wei (tail), Ji (basket).

In accordance with their places,

here it should Jiao, Kang and Di.

The remaining four stone coffins

should be Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji.

Fang is the arm and rib.

Xin is heart.

Wei is tail, and Ji the tail tip.

Fang is the rib.

It should be Xin in front along its position.

The two Ji and Wei coffins accompany each other.

They should correspond to the two coffins.

In this case,

Green Dragon returns.

It seems I'm not useless.

Brother did not better than me this time.

Second Young Master, you are definitely not useless.

It's just because everyone has their own will.

Master.

Before we come in,

you said to be careful of the wall.

In my opinion,

this wall seems to be fine.

Second Young Master, you don’t know it.

Inside the wall, it’s nothing else

but human corpses.

Corpse,

corpse?

Yes.

Nie family’s sword spirit was born on a sword.

It’s extremely stiff.

While its owner was alive,

it accompanies with master

and its aggressiveness can be controlled by the owner.

But after the owner died of the illness,

it had no owner to rely on

but needs these corpses and runes

to suppress its aggressiveness.

But

isn't that just sacrificing people?

The tomb door is open, let's go back quickly.

Master stops us staying here for a long time.

Hurry up.

Yes. Yes.

Let's go, Second Young Master.

Zonghui.

The Nie family has always been righteous.

If we give sacrifice to it with life,

we will become evil.

The gate is about to close.

Let's go first.

No, you have to tell me clearly.

It will be too late!

Second Young Master.

My brush.

Hurry up.

Second Young Master, hurry up.

Second Young Master, hurry up.

Second Young Master.

Hurry up.

Second Young Master.

Hurry up.

Second Young Master.

Set off.

Wait.

Let me ask you.

Why is here called Sword Sacrifice Hall?

What is to balance sword spirit?

I didn't understand before coming

what exactly Sword Sacrifice Hall represents.

I know it now.

This is not balance

but sacrificing flesh and blood.

Second Young Master, you misunderstood it.

Those corpses belong to evil men.

The Nie family’s ancestors had

uses their bodies to balance the sword spirit.

We also follow the ancestral instructions.

Evil men?

Aren’t they human beings?

Are you qualified

for deciding their fate?

The sword spirit is extremely dangerous.

Generations of the Nie family

al balanced the sword spirit in this way.

Even if they were wrong,

you also follow their way?

Bold.

After I balance the sword spirit,

I will explain to you.

Stop.

Those brothers who came into the grave chamber with you

were sacrificed for it by you?

Nie Huaisang.

They,

they were killed by the puppets.

Killed by the puppets?

Where did the puppets come from?

Fine.

Even if they were killed in this way,

over 20 people came with us before,

but how many people are left now?

You have to keep going

to let everyone die?

Brother,

the Nie family has paid

a lot for this.

Can't you calm down and think about it?

I've made up my mind.

We must balance the sword spirit

at all cost today.

If the sword spirit really escapes out of the Sword Sacrifice Hall

and causes a disaster to Qinghe,

how can I face our ancestors?

Have you seen it with your own eyes?

You know what

you are trying to balance today?

You know nothing

but bring brothers to die with you.

Brother,

look at you now.

You have changed.

When you were young, you were always wise and intelligent.

Ever since you practiced swordsmanship,

you’ve become moody and brutal.

You’re just like a tyrant now.

That’s better than your focusing on calligraphy and painting all day long.

When can you

really worry about the Nie family’s safety?

Nie Mingjue,

do we have to practice swordsmanship to revitalize the Nie family?

Do you really want me to

watch you die

before me until you stop?

You always talk about family instruction.

Don’t you care about the living at all?

Tell me.

What swordsmanship do you practice?

Whose instruction do you listen to?

Who told you the family instruction?

After being forced to death by the sword spirit,

should we sacrifice with people’s blood?

This is no different from evils.

The Nie family has kept a foothold in Qinghe for a hundred years,

protecting the people in this area.

You actually said it is evil.

Isn’t it?

Sword Sacrifice Hall

has no way of retrogression.

Disciples of the Nie family, listen.

Follow me to the main tomb

to balance the sword spirit.

Stubborn!

Do you still want them to get killed?

The future remains problematic.

Don’t you feel guilty at all?

So just let me die first.

Second Young Master!

Brother!

Brother, help me.

Second Young Master!

Br...

Second Young Master!

Run.

Follow me.

Come on!

Come on. Come on. Go.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Second Young Master.

Follow me.

Come on.

Come on.

Go.

Second Young Master.

Huaisang, come on.

Second Young Master.

Come on.

Second Young Master, come on.

Huaisang, come on.

Second Young Master.

Come on. Come on. Second Young Master.

Huaisang.

Second Young Master.

Brother, help me.

Huaisang.

Brother.

Master.

Brother, help me.

Brother.

Help me!

Brother.

It’s all my fault.

I got you into trouble.

It’s okay.

I’m here.

No problem.

I’ll use my palm skill

to send you up.

What...

What about you?

Don’t worry.

Baxia

can protect us.

Remember.

You have to keep a firm grip on

the handle of Baxia’s knife later.

Do not turn round.

Do you hear?

Brother.

Brother.

Huaisang!

Thank you, brother.

Huaisang,

as long as I’m alive,

what do you want to do?

I will protect you.

Thank you, brother.

Where’s master?

Where’s master?

What do you want to do?

My brother fell off.

I have to save him.

Calm down.

I’m afraid master is already...

Impossible.

My brother excels in martial arts.

He will be fine.

Are you insane?

You have no idea about the situation down there.

If you go down rashly...

Let go of me!

He has protected me for a lifetime.

If you were me, what would you do?

Even if I’m not the Second Young Master in Qinghe,

I’m his only younger brother.

Second Young Master. Second Young Master.

Second Young Master. Second Young Master.

Second Young Master. Second Young Master.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Nie Huaisang,

who

where’s your sword?

Why does the Nie family of Qinghe have such a good-for-nothing as you?

You’re just a coward.

Nie Huaisang, you’re a good-for-nothing!

Do you plan to be the master like this?

Can you live up to the ancestors of the Nie family?

Who?

Brother is dead.

It was caused by you. Good-for-nothing!

Yes.

Good-for-nothing! You’re to blame.

You’re just a good-for-nothing!

Good-for-nothing, go with us.

Nie Huaisang,

you have neither learning nor skill.

can you live up to the ancestors of the Nie family?

Coward.

Coward.

Coward. Good-for-nothing.

Coward. Good-for-nothing.

Huaisang.

Huaisang.

Huaisang.

Huaisang.

Brother!

I found you finally.

Well.

Do you feel better?

Why did you come to save me?

You’re also trapped here.

Who will take the position of master?

Is it so important?

Brother, you saved me at the risk of your life.

How can I abandon you?

Shall I abandon my brother

only to be the master of the Nie family?

Huaisang,

what you said today is right.

Balancing the sword spirit is not a long-term strategy.

If we want to save the Nie family,

we must suppress the sword spirit.

As I acted willfully,

I ended up like this.

Brother,

it’s not your fault.

When I was on the cliff,

I suddenly thought of the scenes

where you practiced swordsmanship for me in our childhood.

If I was the one to make a decision today,

I wouldn’t do it better than you.

You are the master of the Nie family.

You have no choices in many occasions.

Maybe

this is fate.

Yeah.

Many things are decided by fate

in the Nie family.

The Nie family’s ancestors

created this family foundation with great hardships.

Unexpectedly, it was cursed by the sword spirit.

I practiced swordsmanship hard

and thought I could find the way to solve it,

but I just

followed the same old disastrous road of the ancestors.

Huaisang,

don’t blame me.

I forced you to practice swordsmanship

because I would die soon.

The Nie family’s heavy burden

will fall on you sooner or later.

If you don’t have great swordsmanship,

how can you convince others?

Brother.

I thought I could protect you for a lifetime.

Brother.

I...

I was too eager for quick success, so I ended up like this.

I only wanted to carry forward the Nie family.

However,

it will

perish in my hands.

With this sin,

how should I face the ancestors?

Brother,

since father died,

you’ve managed the Nie family alone.

You’ve been good enough

and also lived up to the ancestors.

The Nie family’s trouble was caused by the sword spirit.

You can’t handle it alone.

You’ve tried your best.

In addition,

you have good skill in military arts.

We brothers

can head off the danger.

Huaisang,

do you know

this place is named Suoxian Pavilion?

All masters of the Nie family

would imprison themselves here

before they lost control.

No one ever returned from here.

I’m afraid

we would die here today.

I dragged you.

I

am sorry.

Such being the case,

we brothers can die

in the same place with ancestor today.

Fallen leaves return to the roots.

Brother,

why is there water sound here?

If there’s running water,

it shows here is connected to the outside world.

Let’s look around.

There may be a way.

Brother,

it’s so strange.

Why don’t the monsters in this mural avoid

when seeing swords?

Instead,

they look at other places.

Brother,

the mural...

The mural is the same as

the one in the discussion hall.

No.

This mural seems to be strange.

The eyes.

The mythical creature in the discussion hall

has glaring round eyes.

But the one in this mural

seems to look ahead.

Brother,

there’s Eight-Diagram Form here.

The Nie family’s tomb was built according to feng shui.

This Eight-Diagram Form must have a special meaning.

Let’s hit both poles at the same time.

Something will happen.

Come on.

Lord Chifeng is back.

Master. Master. Master.

Second Young Master. Master.

It’s great you’re fine.

I thought I would die here today.

Luckily, I was saved by Huaisang,

so that I can meet you guys again.

Today,

it is the Nie family’s good luck

to have you brothers here.

Today’s trouble

was fully caused by me.

I’m really sorry for you.

Such being the case,

I don’t want any brother

to die because of me.

It’s rather dangerous

to seal the sword spirit.

Huaisang

and I

will go alone.

Master.

Master.

Master. Master. Master.

Master.

Master.

The death of the brothers is caused by the sword spirit.

It’s not your fault, master.

Though we’re master and subordinate,

I’ve long taken you as my real brother.

I won’t escape today.

I’m willing to advance and retreat with master.

I’m willing to advance and retreat with master.

We came here through thick and thin,

and will meet with dangers later.

You treat me so well.

I really don’t know

how to pay you back.

I swear here

today

that we nine brothers

will advance and retreat together.

I won’t leave anyone behind.

Usually,

we offer sacrifice to the sword spirit with flesh and blood.

Today,

let’s use the sword spirit

to offer sacrifice to our dead brothers.

Everyone, follow me

to destroy the sword spirit

to offer sacrifice to our brothers.

Destroy the sword spirit

to offer sacrifice to our dead brothers.

Destroy the sword spirit

to offer sacrifice to our dead brothers.

Destroy the sword spirit

Destroy the sword spirit

The descendants of the Nie family shall come to worship your ancestors.

It’s better to be a man.

You ungrateful descendants

actually neglect me like this.

Just make atonement with your blood.

You killed countless brothers of the Nie family.

Today,

I will destroy you.

You good-for-nothings,

I will kill you.

Protect master.

No.

No.

Huaisang.

Thank you, brother.

Brother,

has the sword spirit

been sealed?

Yes.

Good.

They...

They

were all killed by the sword spirit.

Huaisang,

just like what we did in childhood,

I will protect you

no matter what you do.

Worship.

Up.

Worship.

Huaisang.

Brother.

This piccolo can play

the effect of clearing mind.

When you have an unstable mind,

you can play a short section of Mind Clearing Music.

Will it work?

Huaisang,

restrain your grief.

Thanks.

The blame seems as cold as sword.

The young boy protects the folding fan.

We’re brothers with warm blood in the cold days.

Sincerity is as warm a flame,

reflecting between you and me.

In the chaotic world

with deep affections,

we are connected

and never get separated.

When can we

be brothers again?

We bid farewell in Qinghe.

I just woke up from the dream, but yesterday has gone far away.

I sigh while looking up at the distant moon.

I’m willing to do anything

if I can see you again.
