(Episode 3 A Mirage in the Ruined City)

Don't wobble. It can break.

Master Qingyue, who is it on earth inside the coffin?

Don't ask. Don't talk.

It can be anything but a good one.

May not be human.

Even if it is, it must be someone cooking for the Abbot.

What do you think?

The Abbot must know it.

We arrive.

Misfortune is what fortune leans on;

fortune is where misfortune conceals itself.

The Abbot is free and easy,

so I bet it's the fortune inside.

Misfortune.

Fortune.

Misfortune.

Fortune.

Misfortune.

Fortune.

Three days of fasting.

Four days.

You... You got it.

What's up? Do you know me?

I lost the bet again.

A Taoist temple? Masters...

The Abbot literally invited him.

I'm afraid bad fortune is coming.

But he can cook delicious food!

Good point.

Taoism.

Wang Sheng, where are you going?

The Imperial City.

Do you know what happened?

Come with me.

This is the Laojun Temple,

a Taoist temple near the Imperial City.

Priests here don't cultivate immortality.

Nor do they catch any demon or ghost.

Finding a rising body,

we thought we could contribute.

But it turned out that you were inside.

We should blame the Abbot for his easy street style.

He seldom comes back.

Instead of other people,

blame yourself for the lack of capacity.

In the outside, dozens of people want to kill you.

If it hadn't been Master Qingyue and me,

you must have...

Master Mingfeng, don't exaggerate.

We were just passersby who did nothing significant.

Keep talking, then.

Anyway, when we met you,

you must have been unconscious.

Unconscious?

Yes. We saw a heroine kill her way out,

dragging the coffin with you inside.

Who was that heroine?

I don't know.

What happened after?

After that, Master Qingyue and I wanted to help.

However, we didn't expect that...

We fainted, too.

It seemed that we were in a dream,

and we met the Abbot there.

He asked us to bring the coffin back.

We waked up, and the heroine disappeared

with the coffin left alone on the ground.

The Abbot's last words were

like flowers in a mirror and moon reflected in the lake,

all was a mirage.

How difficult it was to have a tranquil meal!

The Abbot told us three months ago

that if a visitor whose last name was Wang came,

we should let him have a look at this.

Isn't it beautiful?

Yes, indeed.

Come here.

That is the Imperial City.

Why is it in ruins?

It wasn't.

This is a miracle

left by the Abbot to show you

the story of Lin Xiu

besieged by the Five Families 300 years ago.

Have you heard about it?

Yes.

It was a secret, but now it's revealed to everyone.

What you know is just the last part of it.

(Lin Song Dai Shi Xia Tang) The Lin family is the royal one

(Song) leading the rest four families 300 years ago.

The Song family were administrators,

(Dai) and the Dai family had command powers.

(Shi) The Shi family were in charge of finance.

(Xia) The Xia family dealt with agriculture.

(Tang) The Tang family took the construction sector.

Everything worked well till the day

when an unexpected earthquake

destroyed the Imperial City.

To protect the citizens,

masters in the Lin family suffered a great loss

with Queen Lin Xiu's order

of moving to the Desperate Land followed by.

Then the Five Families

took the chance to attack the Lin family.

No. The Four Families, to be precise.

That's the difference between the legend and the truth.

Since its establishment, the Imperial City can be seen

from the Laojun Temple's windows.

Now, we are the only people

knowing that who were evil.

The Song family started the war.

The Dai family did their best to protect.

The Imperial City in ruins

is still protected by the Dai family now.

Did Lin Xiu die in the Desperate Land?

It's said that she was locked there.

Which family does the king

of the present Imperial City belong?

Surely, it must be the descendant of the Lin family

protected by the Dai family.

What is the town in the front called?

It's called Xiema Town, the only way to the Imperial City.

Going across the town, you will reach the Imperial City

through Chenghua Boulevard.

Wang Sheng,

the Abbot also told us you could rest in the temple.

It's safe here.

Thanks, Master Qingfeng and Master Mingyue.

I'm Qingyue.

Mingfeng.

Sorry.

Wait here patiently.

The town in the front is dangerous.

Don't hang out there.

(New Game: 9 p.m. at the Phoenix Palace in the Imperial City)

The more we warned, the more he wanted to go there.

The Abbot is right.

Curiosity killed the cat.

How much time left?

A few incense sticks to burn.

Having seen the world before,

incense sticks are still your best timer.

How did he discover that?

I don't know. Maybe he was lucky.

Lucky?

Probably.

In this regard, he's qualified to be an alternative.

No. You're the alternative.

It doesn't matter.

With him, we can do more with less.

Why did you send someone to stop him

even though you like him so much?

It's just another game.

Brother Wang Sheng,

your equipment is upgraded

and ready.

He will arrive soon.

He's only on the Third Stage.

He's a third-stage who could kill Dai Wuji.

Don't forget that I'm on the First Stage.

Nevertheless, I'm able to kill ten people like Dai Wuji.

The game on his side is interesting.

Then you must lose.

You don't quite understand winning or losing.

Never mind. Minor cards always need to be cleared.

Those people are talented.

The breakthrough of the Seventh Stage

is highly possible for them.

Won't you sigh for wasting their talent?

Your ancestor treasured talents,

so she ended up being defected.

Your family collapsed in an instance.

Don't you regret it?

There's a science to employing people.

Don't mention the Lin family again.

In fact, I hate two kinds of games most.

The ones that I'm sure to win,

or the ones that I'm sure to lose.

You must have known Wang Sheng's abilities well.

Why do you want to bet

as you hate being a sure winner?

For the last two times, we ended in a tie.

You win, Your Highness.

And this time, as I thought it over and over,

must be the second time that I'm closed to the losing side.

How about your first time?

The first time?

I remembered that my rival's name

is Song Ming.

Again?

You know what I want to ask.

Put it simply.

It was me that brought you into this world,

but I didn't mean evil.

What happened to Ah Qi?

Since I brought you here,

Ah Qi started protecting you in the real world.

I sent Ah Qi to you.

You belong to the Xia family like Ah Qi, don't you?

No. My name is

Mei'er.

Last question:

what's your relationship with Dai Xiao?

This is yours.

Wear this, and you'll know.

Welcome.

Welcome back, Lone Wolf.

A new mission needs to be confirmed.

Do you want to check it now?

Yes.
