[Word of Honor]

[Episode 36]

Master,

that Prince Jin is so wicked.

Why didn’t you kill him?

Chengling,

the Prince and I

have too many private entanglements.

For the good of everyone,

I cannot kill him.

[Heaven and Earth]

Prince Jin holds power in the Northwest.

However, the people beside him all covet his position and monitor him closely.

If I kill him,

the surrounding people will definitely rise in rebellion.

Only by injuring him and forcing him to remain sick in bed

to prevent anyone else from obtaining the throne

could balance between formidable enemies be achieved.

I don’t understand!

Chengling,

Jinzhou Army’s rebellion has already become set in stone.

If your master kills Prince Jin,

other people will replace him on the throne.

War will continue throughout the world.

There will be no balance of power.

Only when Prince Jin and the others

are busy with internal struggles,

can the world have a few years of peace.

Lord Seventh, don’t explain to me!

I’m stupid and don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand!

I just want to save my master’s life!

Childish words!

Chengling, you must understand.

In the fact of righteousness,

what weight does my single life hold?

I personally raised this dangerous Jinzhou Army.

Once the battle begins, lives will be lost.

At that time, I will be carrying

not only the regrets of Four Seasons Mountain Villa,

but also all of those souls that died in battle.

I’m—

I’m sorry, Master.

Since Prince Jin has obtained the Glazed Armor,

he will definitely look for the Yin Yang Book.

Even if the Yin Yang Book may not be able to heal him,

how can I risk it?

What if he fully recovers?

Then all my hard work will have gone to waste.

Chengling,

you don’t wish for me

to die with this regret, right?

Chengling,

our master-disciple fate is too short.

I didn’t have time to teach you well,

but you only have to remember one saying,

and you will be my good disciple.

It’s also something Grand Master always taught me.

“A great, chivalrous hero

lives for his country and his people.”

[Heaven and Earth]

(T/N: From Li Bai’s poem Spring Evening Banquet with Cousins at a Peach Plum Garden. Heaven and earth are an inn for the myriad creatures of the universe, and time is its guest for centuries)

Being able to use this useless body

to perform useless acts is incredibly lucky.

How incredibly lucky.

There’s no need to be sad, all right?

Wu Xi, Lord Seventh.

Chengling and Lao Wen are the people dearest to me.

Please take care of them for me.

Zishu, I know.

What Prince Jin wants isn’t the Yin Yang Book.

He and I come from the same lineage. We are both descendants of the Shatuo Tribe. (T/N: A Turkish tribe who helped the Tang Dynasty fight off threats)

Because our ancestors earned merit in calming unrest,

we were bestowed a surname,

appointed as military commissioners, and given the right to inhabit and populate in the land.

Only in this way were we able to achieve what we have today.

Zishu, you know of this.

However, if we speak of even farther in the past,

our branch of the clan was subordinate to Tuojie imperial kinsmen.

There is a legend within the clan saying

that when our ancestor waged war on the Central Plains,

he left behind a treasure vault.

The treasure vault hides the secret to a perpetually stable country.

Once this secret is found,

my clan can live a life of abundance.

There would be no more need to wander.

The treasure vault has six keys.

They are separately in the possession of the six major clan leaders.

In the possession of six clan leaders?

That’s right.

Doesn’t it sound a lot like Glazed Armor and the key?

However, my ancestors

have many similar legends.

They are actually just empty wishes.

The more you listen, the more you become disillusioned with them.

However, I remember you once said

that Uncle Zhou was secretly killed by the former prince.

This made me recall that when I was very young,

the former prince once told us children

that the secret to a perpetually stable country could be found soon.

But after that, we never heard anything more.

It was during that time

that the old prince grew very low-spirited.

Near the end, he would exclaim,

“The many years of searching ended up as a wasted effort,

the traitors have set me back,” and so on.

It was also at that time

when I heard Uncle Zhou had passed on.

The Glazed Armor and the key

were things Master obtained during travels.

Was Master’s friend...

my father?

The Glazed Armor and the key

were all things your master obtained during his travels.

They were intricately made.

It is said that they were critical to opening

some Songmo or Tuojie imperial kinsmen’s treasure fault.

In Prince Jin’s painting, the five pieces of Glazed Armor

all had their own unique appearances.

In the past, your father, former Master Zhou suddenly passed away

because the former Prince Jin accused him

of treachery and secretly killed him.

It seems...

fate has arranged everything.

“Although one can escort a friend for thousands of miles, farewell cannot be avoided.”

This is far enough.

Zishu,

you and I both know

that the secret to a perpetually stable country

was just a legend anyway.

How could the world have something like this?

Why must you do this?

Beiyuan, don’t try to convince me.

If the legend is true,

I have no choice but to go.

Even if it is fake,

I still have no choice but to go.

Think about it.

On one hand, are the people of the world,

and on the other hand,

are the uncertain number of days left I have of life.

If I succeed, I die with no regrets.

If I fail, I will have died for my ideals.

There’s nothing to lose either way.

Why should I be scared?

All right.

This journey will take many days and nights and requires haste.

If you have any needs along the way,

just let the Ping An shops know.

Zishu, don’t worry about anything here.

I am not worried leaving everything to you.

Chengling,

do you know what I am most worried about?

Repeat

what I have told you.

Master’s injuries are too serious.

Lord Seventh and Great Shaman

have taken you overseas for treatment.

Martial Uncle and I are to rebuild Four Seasons Mountain Villa

and wait for your return upon full recovery.

Stinky brat,

with that anguished face,

how do you expect your martial uncle to believe you?

You know.

If you give it away,

who knows what your martial uncle will do,

considering his temperament?

If you aren’t afraid

that I will be pained and worried in the netherworld...

there’s no longer anything I can do about it.

I-I will practice!

♪ The fate of all things in the world are linked to that moment of whim ♪

♪ The changes of time occurs when those fates cross ♪

The green mountains remain the same,

♪ Heaven is unpredictable, there is no path back ♪

and the rivers are long-lasting.

The world is large,

and we will eventually meet again.

The secret to a perpetually stable country...

The legend...

is actually true?

I don’t dare to accept the glory of personally opening the armory.

Officer Duan.

Please.

Thank you, Scorpion King.

Someone.

Yes, sir!

Break the ice!

Foster-Father.

We’re revisiting an old place.

Are you happy?

It’s not opening?

Fake?!

That’s odd! The key isn’t right!

That’s impossible!

This—

Fake?!

Zhou Zishu!

Who else?

I let you two go.

Why is the Ghost Valley Chief betraying me?

This key... is fake!

What’s odd about that?

Even the Glazed Armor could be faked.

Why can’t the key have fakes?

Where is the Ghost Valley Chief?

Prince Jin didn’t come?

Zhou Zishu.

Even if you had superhuman powers,

today,

you better not think you can—

So he didn’t come.

That’s good.

Avalanche!

Hurry, retreat!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Go!

Go, go, go!

Why have you come?

Your injuries—

Bastard!

You know to care about me?

Weren’t we going to live and die together?

How did you find this place?

Nonsense!

How could I find you without following them?

It’s not like I know where the Armory is.

The hairpin...

Are you a pig?

I knew I was going to fake my death.

Would I bring the hairpin into danger with me?

Who would I entrust it to aside from you?

So the Armory’s key

was always on my head?

That’s right.

My parents knew of its importance,

so they made this disguise.

The silly thing is,

the people of Ghost Valley searched every corner of my little courtyard

and never found it.

They never knew it was worn on my head.

If I hadn’t brought that hairpin here,

wouldn’t we be at a loss for what to do?

You came to die,

so you would definitely bring it.

Zhou Zishu, you stupid bastard!

If it weren’t for Old Monster’s loyalty...

A bunch of idiots!

What the hell have you all done?

Stupid beyond belief!

Mr. Ye, please don’t!

Zishu said don’t—

What do you know?

You are harming him!

They swear to live and die together.

As soon as Master Wen knows Sect Leader Zhou cannot live,

he’ll—

Shut your cursed mouth!

Who can’t live?

I haven’t died yet.

I won’t allow anyone to die first.

Have you thought about what I would do once I found out about the results?

What? You aren’t afraid of death? Am I afraid?

Don’t light a fire.

The oxygen here is limited.

What are you scared of?

Since Rong Xuan and the others could train here with the entryways closed,

this underground palace naturally must have a specific airway.

Saint Zhou,

didn’t you see death as a return to the homeland?

Why? You don’t want to die anymore?

Who wants to die if they can live?

Besides,

I hadn’t met you then.

Who would’ve thought this Combined Six Cultivation Method

would be even more mysterious than the Yin Yang Book?

It truly exceeds the mortal realm.

As long as a person is alive, there is definitely hope.

If there is no will to continue on, all is lost.

This certainly is a place for a bunch of messy men.

I wonder how my mother and aunt could bear it here.

This must be the place where they practiced their martial arts and weaponry skills.

The book room should be inside.

[Yin Yang Book]

[Yin Yang Book]

Yin Yang Book?

I actually found a treasure.

A’Xu,

this is the lost art of Miracle Healer Valley.

Here, hold onto it for me.

What if we can use it after we leave?

Setting aside whether or not this Combined Six Cultivation Method can heal my injuries,

the snow has blocked the road.

We can only leave once summer melts the snow.

We don’t have food or water.

When I learned you ordered Pingan Bank

to buy large quantities of gunpowder,

I knew what you planned to do.

Stop looking!

Let’s go!

I’m in a hurry to know what that secret to a perpetually stable country is.

Perhaps there’s something that can summon an ancestral demon god.

Wouldn’t we be saved then?

Let’s go!

Thirteen Transformation Formations of Cloud and Fog?

Mount He Sect’s lost art.

Essential Arts For the People?

What?

This is a book about agriculture.

When Senior Rong was stealing secret martial arts

did he mess up and accidentally bring this one?

That’s odd.

Why does this stone vault

only have books about farming?

I found it!

Combined Six Cultivation Method!

It’s this one!

[Combined Six Cultivation Method]

It’s all grain.

Lao Wen,

are you sure

that we have searched every secret room?

Why do all these secret rooms

only have farming tools and books?

There’s not even a single copper coin.

It’s all grain?

Rong Xuan and the others prepared this?

Look at these seals.

They are all in Tuojie writing.

I originally thought we could rely on these grains to relieve hunger.

It seems that won’t work.

How long have these grains been stored here?

Twenty years... shouldn’t be enough to make them decay so badly.

I understand!

I understand everything!

This is the secret to an ever-protected country!

In the legend, as long as we found this secret,

the Shatuo Clan would be able to live a life of no worries.

Look at all these secret rooms.

They all have farming tools and grain

and farming methods translated into the Tuojie language!

So this is the secret that the Tuojie ancestors

left for their descendants!

I see!

Once wandering clans learn how to farm,

they can use farming tools to feed themselves!

Their country would be stable!

That little Prince Jin of yours tried so hard

just for this room of grain and farming tools.

His ancestral legend of a secret to a perpetually stable country

was just to farm properly!

My stomach hurts from laughing!

That’s why Uncle Long said

my master tried everything to gather Glazed Armor

yet found nothing after opening the underground vault.

He must’ve searched for it for the sake of my father.

My father... must’ve been asked by the former Prince Jin

to search for this secret.

In the end, he found a room full of grain.

When the former prince learned of this, his initial embarrassment morphed into anger,

which resulted in him killing my father.

No. That’s not right.

My father understood former Prince Jin’s temperament.

He knew that even if he told the truth,

Prince Jin would not believe him.

He would bring punishment upon himself

and cause my master to fall with him.

Perhaps your father didn’t even tell Master

what this treasure vault means.

So in the end,

Master gave this place to Rong Xuan to transform into an armory

because this place was originally an empty armory!

Right now, I really want to know

what your little Prince Jin’s face looks like after finding out about this truth.

It must be quite fabulous!

Stop laughing.

Snow has sealed off the mountain.

Even if we find an exit,

and even if we can leave...

Say,

how long can a person live eating snow and ice?

Then guess how long Ye Baiyi lived off of snow and ice?

Aren’t you curious...

why that Old Monster is like a reincarnated version of Starved Ghost

and eats like his life depends on it?

That’s because

he hasn’t eaten human food

in more than a hundred years.

Changing your fate requires payment.

By mastering godly arts, you can naturally recreate your meridians,

retain a young appearance

and live like a god.

However, there are cons to this as well.

Ye Baiyi stayed on Changming Mountain for so long without leaving

because once one steps into the world of gods,

one must forever live in a place of extreme cold.

From then on, one lives in the wild and feeds on ice and snow.

If one eats the food of humans,

they will start to decay from their immortal state.

So,

that’s why ever since we met Ye Baiyi,

his hair has been growing whiter?

So the Old Monster has had enough of being a living dead.

That’s why he’s been eating as much as he can stuff.

Even if he doesn’t want to live forever,

he still wants to recklessly eat as much as he can.

In other words,

even if we leave this place alive,

in the future, we’ll have to live secluded in an extremely cold place.

Eating ice and snow.

Living with no end.

Either live like that

or just die.

I’ll have to compare them.

The Combined Six Cultivation Method requires breakage and then reestablishment.

We must first endure hellish suffering

before fully recreating our meridians

and obtaining a new life.

However, everyone’s health situation is different,

so the suffering will also be different.

Therefore, the two of us need to practice this art at the same time

and support each other.

When your partner is near the point of breaking,

we must use pure Qi energy to aid the other through their difficult time.

Then, don’t I have a huge advantage?

To tell you the truth,

my senses of taste, smell and touch all slowly disappeared.

I can’t feel pain anymore.

I know.

That’s why Elder Ye and Great Shaman gave an extra warning,

saying that after we begin meditating,

there’s a high chance that your sight and hearing will also disappear.

However,

if that happens, don’t be alarmed.

Just focus on the Qi energy running through your body,

and after you bear through each level,

your five senses will return naturally.

However, in the next level,

this will repeat again.

I know.

[Eternal Spring]

After the avalanche,

Zhao Jing and Scorpion King were forever buried upon the snowy mountain.

From then on, the Venomous Scorpions suffered major losses

and disappeared from the pugilist world.

Then, Master—

What happened to the two brothers trapped in the armory?

- What happened to them? - Did they die?

If one wants to master this outstanding art,

someone must be willing

to sacrifice their own body as the furnace

to return the practiced pure Qi to the practicer.

No matter how highly skilled you are in martial arts,

even if you don’t immediately die,

all your meridians will be destroyed in the end.

So...did they master it?

Father!

Good, Nianxiang.

What are you all talking about again?

Aunt Gao,

Master is telling us about the Combined Six Cultivation Method.

Yes.

Don’t listen to your master’s nonsense.

Chengling,

you speak of all this nonsense every day.

Once the children hear too much,

they won’t have the heart to practice martial arts.

Let’s stop here and go eat!

- All right! - Let’s go!

Let’s go! We’re going to eat!
