[Episode 03]

How come there is not a single leaf left?

It's not this tree.

It's the one in front of Little Qishan's cave-dwelling.

Right.

Little Qishan, we are here!

Where are you?

The cave-dwelling on Tile Mountain is a thousand feet from the foot of the mountain.

I'm afraid Master Qishan can't hear you.

Greetings, Hill Leader Mo.

Respectfully greeting the Daughter of Light.

Greetings, Hill Leader Mo.

Young Master, I'm a little tired.

I wish to rest for a while in the carriage.

Please cover yourself well with the quilt then.

The scenery over there is quite nice. Shall we go for a walk?

How have you been in the past year?

Very well.

I've been practicing calligraphy, cultivating, and breaking through levels.

How about you?

I did the same things, too. Practicing calligraphy, cultivating, and breaking through levels.

When did you break through the next level?

You truly deserve to be congratulated.

I think you won't want to know how I broke through the level.

That scene was too cruel.

At the Ink Pond Park,

when I heard you were going to duel with Xia Hou in a decisive battle,

I was terribly shocked.

You didn't think I could win?

I had confidence that you would definitely defeat Xia Hou since being in the Wilderness.

It was just a matter of time.

You actually have this much confidence in me?

As Ye Hongyu said, "A shameless person like you would normally live a very long life."

I don't like listening to her slander.

Who cares if she is the Grand Priest of Justice now.

If she backs me into a corner, I will still go cause trouble for her.

How did it feel to defeat Xia Hou?

I felt...

elated for a split second,

then it was just exhaustion and frustration.

But at the end of it all, I felt at peace.

However, now I feel some regret.

Why is that?

Sang Sang is seriously sick because of helping me.

Although I won, I paid the most painfully tragic price for my victory.

Don't be disheartened. Sang Sang will surely get well.

Thank you.

I have to thank you also.

If it wasn't for you, I would not have understood the Divine Art of Talisman so quickly.

In this past year, what I have achieved with my cultivation

is all because of you.

What are you excited about?

Are you that familiar with her?

You kept saying hello to her. Do you think I couldn't tell?

I...

I'm probably not the most suitable one for you.

If I say you are suitable, then you are suitable.

If I say you are not suitable, then, even if you are the emperor, you are not suitable.

With your performance, do you think you can have food?

What are you looking at?

They both haven't seen each other for a long time.

They want to spend time alone in private.

What do you want to do? You want to peep?

I know that I keep making mistakes.

I hope you can forgive me.

The Daoism Maniac is right.

You really are the number one most shameless person in the world.

You are always the fastest one to admit your mistakes,

so sincere to the point that it makes the other person feel that he is in the wrong,

and that you are the most innocent one.

I am guessing you are also here for the Ghost Festival?

How about we go up the mountain together to visit Little Qishan?

Do you think it is that easy to see Master Qishan?

So many people in this world want to see him.

This Ghost Festival is the first time in decades that he is coming out of seclusion.

Therefore, Lan Ke has set up a rule.

Only cultivators who win three games of chess can meet Master Qishan.

Pass three games of chess?

Is that not delaying the matter? Sang Sang can't wait for so long.

Tile Mountain's three games of chess are the rule.

Would you be willing to accompany us on this journey, Hill Leader?

I am willing to accompany the Daughter of Light on this journey.

Can you not look at me like that?

Do you know how many people on Tile Mountain want to have a look at you?

It is just because the walls of this carriage are too thick.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the stares would have long burned a hole in it.

Also, you have to get used to this type of look in the future.

Are there really so many people wanting to have a look at me?

I seldom get this type of look.

No.

It is never before.

I have not been a good looking girl since I was little.

Young Master said that in the first two years after he found me,

it didn't matter whether he fed me with meat soup or rice soup,

I still could never grow bigger.

When he held me, it was like holding a tiny mouse.

Although after all of that, he managed to feed me until I survived.

He still could not make me prettier.

I looked like an autumn cabbage

left to wither in a vegetable patch.

Even during the New Year,

I still looked frail even in brand new clothes.

Young Master would make fun of me, saying no matter if I was thrown

into a vegetable field or a coal pit,

it was guaranteed that no one would notice that I was there.

He was right.

I am that inconspicuous little maidservant.

When I was little and living in Wei City,

I had to carry a lamb leg weighing 17 catties (1 catty = 0.5 kg) all by myself,

walking home from the Wei City meat shop.

Not a single person would offer to help me along the way.

It was not because the people of Wei City were unenthusiastic,

it was because they didn't even see me at all.

After that, it was the same when we were in the capital city.

Young Master and I had been living at the Old Writing Brush Shop for two years.

I had to buy noodles almost every morning.

But even the sour and spicy soup noodle man at Forty-Seventh Lin Alley

would still forget who I was.

Young Master has always been good looking since he was young.

He is also a sweet talker.

That is why it is so easy for people to like him.

Whether it was General Ma of Wei City, Aunt Jian or Fu Zi,

it was all the same.

As long as we are together, everyone would be looking at him.

It's good though.

I am used to standing behind him.

Anyway, I don't like other people to stare at me all the time.

Sang Sang, you are the most inconspicuous little maidservant in the world.

Even though no one would notice you,

you and Ning Que only have each other in your heart.

Then, at least, he will always be looking at you.

At least, in Thirteenth Teacher's eyes,

Sang Sang, you are the prettiest.

I think so, too.

♫ When I met you, the dew on cold branches was quite thick ♫

♫ Joy rose in my heart ♫

♫ I wanted to be with you forever at first sight ♫

♫ The autumn breeze on the lake ♫

♫ Your silhouette at the porch ♫

♫ Our tacit understanding supports bright inner voices via poems and songs ♫

♫ There is rain in the Ink Pond ♫

♫ I come from the book ♫

♫ The brick walls under the snow ♫

Sister Bookworm Maniac, it's been a while since I last saw you.

Why are you here?

At this Ghost Festival, Master Qishan will open up his cave-dwelling to meet visitors.

How could I not come?

The common people are coming to see Master Qishan, hoping that he will answer the questions they have in their heart.

If it is about those affairs of yours,

it is really not worthwhile to ask about them in the cave-dwelling.

Just now, seeing how dejected you were when you stepped down from that big black carriage,

is it possible that you still do not understand the pain of not getting what you want?

You are wrong.

Seeing that he is living a good life is more important than wanting to be with him.

[Lu Chenjia, Princess of Full Moon State]

After all that we've been through, I'm very satisfied that we can meet again.

However, I never met him again.

In the winding and long journey of life, no one can foresee anything.

Your encounter with him might suddenly happen one day.

Tomorrow. Next year.

You can choose to wait.

Or let it go.

Don't forget that

you have flowers. Flowers blossom and fade.

You can still have the joy of flowers like before.

♫ Several times of frosting, several times of raining ♫

You like Young Master?

Am I right?

♫ How can I forget about you and I who looked at each other silently ♫ - Yes.

But it's not possible now.

♫ A period of wind, ♫ - Yes.

♫ a section of mud, ♫

♫ The vast sky sprinkles down the rain and pushes out that faraway returning date ♫

♫ I often look at you who are across the mountains and oceans ♫

You will have to wait until after I die.

♫ Even if the years are uncertain, I won't waver about waiting for you ♫

♫ I hope there is wind to deliver you those words of loving you ♫

Do you want to know what Miss Shanshan and I talked about?

Not really. No.

- Really? - Yeah, not at all.

Definitely not.

Just what did you talk about?

Quite a lot of things.

[Lan Ke]

Greetings, Master. I, Ning Que, a student from the Tang Academy,

has come to Tile Mountain to pay my respect to Master Qishan on the order of my teacher, Fu Zi.

Even if you are a student of the Tang Academy, you still have to obey the rules.

Is this how Fu Zi teaches his disciples?

What rules?

You can only cross the bridge after you break through my endgame.

Master, rules are dead.

Human beings are alive. Don't you agree?

Only when you stick closely to the rules [Yellow Robed Ascetic]

can you survive.

And if I don't?

Could it be that you think you have the capability to

transcend all the rules of the world?

It looks like he is not going to let me pass.

You need to follow the rules of Lan Ke if you are visiting the mountain.

- Get in. - If you can't break through my endgame,

don't even think about crossing this Tiger Leaping Mountain Stream.

I just want to meet with Master Qishan.

I just want to save Sang Sang. Master, don't force me.

The way you handle matters and conduct yourself

surely has the cold-blooded and overbearing style of Ke Haoran.

But unfortunately, I still have to stick to the rules.

I'm just asking you to back down one step.

I won't back down.

Don't blame me then.

Young Master.

This master is a very powerful master of formation.

Everything here, the stream, the trees and grass, and even the chessboard,

have already become part of his formation.

There is no way that we can walk across.

Even so, I can't—

Young Master!

Since we are in such a hurry to see Master Qishan,

then, even more so, we should not waste time in fighting.

How about letting me try?

You try?

You were taught to play chess by Chen Pipi.

You can't even beat him. How are you going to win him?

Also, playing chess consumes too much mental energy.

It's bad for your health and drains your brain.

Okay, I will play with you.

Please come over.

Take me there.

Just take me.

This game has ended.

Master, we only made one move.

Why are you calling it the end of the game?

The game is called, "Luan Ke."

"Luan (messy)"? What "Luan"? Did I ask you anything?

Don't disturb my Sang Sang's mood.

It's all right, Sang Sang. Go ahead.

This chess game is actually pretty interesting.

There actually is a person in this world who knows Heaven's plans?

Congratulations to the Daughter of Light.

You solved Lan Ke's endgame.

Congratulations, Daughter of Light!

The light will not be extinguished. The Heavenly God is everlasting.

Congratulations, Daughter of Light.

Master, may we cross now?

Please go ahead.

Welcome, Daughter of Light and Thirteenth Teacher to Tile Mountain.

I, Jiu Ping, am honored. [Master Dong Ming]

- Greetings, Master Jiu Ping. - Greetings, Master Jiu Ping.

I heard that Daughter of Light has the ability to know Heaven's plans.

You thoroughly defeated my unworthy Junior Brother.

If you can figure out Heaven's mysteries, why is there still a need for you to find out about our profound theories?

Thirteenth Teacher, you can take Daughter of Light straight up the mountain.

Really? Thank you, Master.

Sang Sang, let's go.

We came to Tile Mountain to seek medical advice and medicine; therefore,

we should follow the rules of visiting the mountain here. .

We will still have to play this game of chess.

Patients should receive treatment.

Why do you insist on coming here to play this game of chess?

A patient should have the right to eat two more pieces of candy.

If she wants to play, there is nothing I can do about it.

I have been pursuing quietism all my life,

but I still can't let go of my desire to win.

Honestly, I also really want to play this game of chess.

She's very weak. I hope you don't mind too much, Master.

Since you're ill, you should avoid the wind.

Daughter of Light, which color would you like to choose?

Black.

Black?

Am I not allowed to choose the black pieces?

In the first round of the game in Tile Mountain, the chess player can only choose white.

The one who passes the first round will often get the psychological hint that

if he chooses white, he will continue to win.

So, I don't know why you chose black without any hesitation?

Black goes first. It is a huge advantage.

That's why I picked the black chess pieces.

The black.

I did not expect Lan Ke to have made such careful preparations.

They actually custom measured and made this draught screen specifically for Sang Sang.

But how did they know Sang Sang would be here to play chess?

Anyway, Sang Sang is protected from the wind now.

Miss, may I ask if you learned to play chess from Master Song Qian?

How is Teacher Song in the academy?

Young Master, I remember that none of your schoolmates at the academy have the surname "Song."

Teacher Song?

I remember now. Last year, when the little book boy handed out winter suits,

I think there was indeed someone called Song Qian.

Is this Master referring to my Fifth Senior Brother?

Yes, exactly.

Song Qian is a chess master of my Southern Jin State.

He has been missing for many years. How could he have appeared in Tang Academy?

What is so strange about that?

I'm going to Tang Academy! I'm going to Tang Academy!

I think I've seen a painting of you at the Daoism rite when I was young.

What are you talking about? How could you have seen a painting of Master when you were young?

He… He seems to be Master Dong Ming.

Master Dong Ming?

Master Dong Ming has already passed away.

Passed away?

I am indeed Dong Ming.

Respectfully greeting Master Dong Ming.

In my life, I have never seen Master Dong Ming play chess against Song Qian.

But today, I finally see it with my own eyes!

Even if I were to die now, I would die without regrets!

Since Junior Brother sealed his chess position in the Luan Ke game at Tiger Leaping Mountain Stream,

I will likewise seal my position in this game, too.

If there are any visitors who wish to go up the mountain, do not stop them.

Why is that?

To have the chance to play against such an opponent for the last chess game of my life,

is there any ending more perfect than this?

Respectfully sending Master Dong Ming off.

You won?

It's a draw.

Then, why did the Master leave?

I respectfully welcome Master Bao Shu, Head of Precept of Heaven Pillar Sect. Greetings, Master Qu Ni.

Is Ning Que here yet?

Thirteenth Teacher has already completed the first two rounds of the Tile Mountain chess games.

I want to see him.

Teacher has already said that you are not allowed to see him. [Guanhai, Heaven Pillar Sect]

I'm here with the mission of the entire world.

Teacher has decided to launch the three chess games of Tile Mountain,

so without his permission, all visitors to Lan Ke are not allowed to act rashly.

Please think it over carefully before taking any action, Master Bao Shu.

In comparison to this matter, what significance could the Tile Mountain three chess games hold?

Before Teacher went into seclusion, he has specifically instructed me

not to forget this is Tile Mountain's Lan Ke.

It is Master Qishan's Lan Ke.

As for those visitors who are untactful, I will show them the way out of here.

Little boy, are you saying that we, the people of Suspended Temple, are not allowed up the mountain?

Move away!

Show me your moves.

Your maidservant will die if you kill me.

Try threatening me again and see if I dare to hit you.

Respectfully greeting Master Qishan!

Young Master, is that Little Qishan?

He is the Little Qishan that Teacher told us about?

I don't know either.

Are you the Little Qishan my teacher spoke about?

I, Sang Sang, pay respect to Master Qishan.

There are only three leaves left.

Master, I beg you, please save Sang Sang.

I'm a personal disciple of Fu Zi, Thirteenth Teacher of the Tang Academy.

My teacher told me that you would save her.

Who is Fu Zi?

He… He's my teacher, the dean of Tang Academy.

Is he not just an old man? You don't need to tell me about him.

Let me ask you.

Is it Fu Zi or you, who wants to save her?

Or is it Sang Sang who wants to save herself?

It's Fu Zi who wants to. I want to. Sang Sang wants it, too.

We all want to. Please save her!

The three games of chess of Tile Mountain.

This game demands that you play it using your life.

You now have the life of Sang Sang in your hands.

What business is it of yours? I'm talking to this little girl.

Master, it has been very hard, very hard for

Young Master and I to remain alive until today.

Therefore, we cannot simply just die like this.

Follow the rules. You have to finish one game of chess.

If you win, then I will treat you.

Why are you so heartless, Old Man?

She is already like this, and you are still trying to uphold your stupid rules.

Let me tell you that you must treat her today, whether you like it or not.

Only two leaves left.

Young Master, I will play this chess game.

Master Qishan, please.

Only one leaf left.

The chess piece feels so cold. It seems to be holding a thousand years of yin coldness.

This leaf must definitely not fall.

I can feel a strong wave of nascent energy from Heaven and Earth vibrating.

It's weird and scary.

Teacher, Master Bao Shu of the Suspended Temple insists on seeing you.

Paying respects to Master Qishan.

Junior Uncle, how are you?

I'm very well.

This is a peaceful place,

yet you are flaunting around with your magic object.

Quickly put it away.

Junior Uncle.

This is my old dwelling.

I'm here entertaining my two little friends.

If you don't have anything important, just leave.

Junior Uncle, we are here to watch the chess game.

If you are here to watch the game, then remember to be an upright gentleman.

Yes, we will.

Why are they still talking? Just hurry up and play already.

Are you hungry, little girl?

Before starting the game, have a pear first.

No time for eating. Quickly start the game.

I'm hungry, Young Master.
