Xie Lian.
How about a drink?
I'm all right.
Is this drink not to your taste, Xie Lian?
It's not that.
I just suddenly remembered
I must abstain from alcohol
for my cultivation.
I'm sorry.
I didn't consider that.
It's not your fault.
I forgot about it myself.
I thought cultivation
was about being carefree.
If it's about giving up this and that,
it's better not to do it.
It must be the Wind Master.
What do you think?
Some sects aren't particular about this,
but in my sect,
the rule is to abstain
from alcohol, sex, and anger.
Abstain from anger?
Yes.
For example, in a gambling house,
people would feel great joy or sorrow
in an instant and would easily get angry.
I won!
But if one can maintain a calm mind
and not be affected by winning or losing,
there's no need to abstain from gambling.
No wonder you were interested
in going to a gambling house.
Speaking of which,
your gambling skills
are truly incredible, San Lang.
It's no big deal.
Just sheer good luck.
San Lang.
Don't poke fun at me.
How would I dare
to poke fun at you, Xie Lian?
If you want to learn,
I actually have a shortcut method
that will make you highly proficient
and win each time.
Is there really some secret technique
for dice throwing?
Give me your hand.
All right.
Try again.
What kind of method is this?
It's nothing special.
I just lent some luck to you, Xie Lian.
Next time,
if you want to gamble with someone,
why not come to me first?
I'll give you as much as you want.
They won't be able to turn the tables
for 100 years.
If you don't mind,
consider these two dice
as a welcome gift for you, Xie Lian.
Why would I mind?
Then thank you, San Lang.
Do you want to play some more?
Sure.
It's getting late, Xie Lian.
Get some rest.
San Lang really treats me well.
I hope this matter
has nothing to do with San Lang.
Once we uncover the truth,
- I'll come clean and apologize at once.
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
- Wind Master?
Your Highness?
I'm suffocating!
I'm suffocating!
My goodness.
These things are strangling me to death!
Wind Master!
Can't you change back
to your white Taoist robe before?
Am I stupid?
Wearing a bright white Taoist robe
in the middle of the night,
making myself a target?
Dressed like this
is even more eye-catching
in a certain sense.
Wind Master, didn't we agree
to meet again in three days?
I heard you were brought
to the Paradise Manor.
I was worried,
so I've put in tremendous effort
in doing a facial
and waist-cinching
before I got in.
- I've never made such a huge sacrifice.
- You clearly enjoyed it.
What about Prince Taihua?
He shouldn't get into trouble
while he's alone outside.
Don't worry.
I've made all the arrangements.
It's foolproof!
However,
Your Highness,
you're really lucky!
I'm lucky?
Yes.
Qianqiu and I
had a tough time in Ghost City.
You, on the other hand,
were eating, drinking, and living well.
Crimson Rain Sought Flower
even accompanied you.
Indeed.
So Your Highness,
do you remember our mission
in Ghost City this time?
Of course I do.
Just now, in the hall,
I was preparing for the mission.
Really?
All I remember
was the two of you playing dice
and you didn't even take it seriously.
Wind Master, don't talk nonsense.
We were just sparring.
Sparring on what?
Gambling skills?
What does that have to do
with the mission?
Actually,
I've discovered some clues.
But to investigate further,
I need a bit of luck.
Luck?
But the two of us
That's why
I borrowed some.
You really have
some incredible luck each time!
Yes.
At this point, let's try to stay positive.
But if I were you, I wouldn't have agreed
even if His Majesty the Emperor begged.
It's just asking for trouble.
The Wind Master doesn't know
His Majesty the Emperor well.
If I had a choice
In any case,
the distress signal
was sent seven days ago.
Hua Cheng left seven days ago as well.
It's too much of a coincidence.
We must investigate.
By the way,
were there any demoted officials
from the Heavenly Court in recent years?
Yes.
You.
Aside from me.
Why do you ask?
I found this secret passage
by following a ghost messenger
named Waning Moon Officer.
He had this set of curse shackles
on his hands.
What? Curse shackles?
Yes.
It's likely that he was a demoted official
from the Heavenly Court.
Isn't that so arrogant?
Hiring a former heavenly official
as a subordinate?
It's not necessarily arrogant.
Since he was demoted,
where he goes afterward
is a personal choice.
Then
It's just that the actions
of this ghost messenger are suspicious.
That's why I thought
of asking you about it.
There was indeed a Western Martial God
who was demoted in recent years
and it caused quite a stir then.
Western Martial God?
Isn't that Quan Yizhen?
But I don't think it's that prince.
- Why is that?
- He comes from a very orthodox background
and his personality
isn't the flighty type.
Why is it already the end?
Is it a dead-end?
That can't be possible.
It shouldn't be.
If one went through such trouble
to build this secret passage,
it definitely wasn't meant for meditation.
This wall
must be at least as thick as 33 m.
- We can't break through it.
- Wind Master.
Look at the ground.
It seems like there's something.
Could it be that we must throw the dice
with the correct combination
to open this stone wall?
It seems like it.
We just don't know
what the right numbers are.
Since we've come this far,
it's not practical to go back and check.
Let's just randomly throw them and see.
Then
Why don't you give it a try, Wind Master?
All right.
It really won't work.
Your Highness!
Look below your feet!
The pattern has changed.
What is this?
An earthworm?
A leech?
I think I've seen a few in the fields.
Where exactly do you usually
What's going on here?
It seems like the stone wall
was just a decoy.
The tile on the floor
is the real entrance.
This soil
Thank goodness the soil is soft
or I would have been hurt.
What kind of place is this?
There's not even enough space
to stand upright.
Could it be that
I threw the wrong numbers,
so we ended up being thrown here?
That's highly possible.
The stone door above is gone,
so we can't go back the same way.
Let's go.
We need to find a way out first.
All right.
This place is so bizarre.
It's so damp and gloomy.
And it's full of dead animals and plants.
Wind Master.
We should hurry up and keep moving.
Your Highness, what is that?
I don't know either,
but it's definitely not anything good.
Your Highness.
How do we deal with this?
If I use the fan,
we might die here.
Earthworms fear light and heat.
Wind Master.
Please lend me some power
and make the flames in your palm bigger.
All right.
Wind Master.
The underground airflow is restricted.
I'm afraid the flames in your palm
won't last much longer.
I can make it last longer,
but I'll pass out from the heat.
Let's use teleportation.
All right.
I'll find flat ground first.
The stone door?
Quick!
Throw the dice and open it.
With my luck,
isn't it absurd to throw it?
You'd better do it.
Wind Master.
Are you all right?
I don't know either,
but Your Highness,
it's really exciting
to work with you.
I've never fallen down
so miserably before.
You've really worked hard.
Well, you're welcome.
There's an exit here.
Let's go.
Where
are we now?
It seems like
this stone door is like a magical tool
that can do teleportation.
Throwing different numbers
will teleport us to different places.
It takes a lot of magical power
to do teleportation.
Crimson Rain Sought Flower
even made a continuous teleportation tool
to prevent leakage of information.
The strength of his magic
and his cunningness are evident!
Rather than saying he is cunning,
it's more like
he's just mischievous.
What's happening now?
Don't panic.
Just stay calm.
Let's see first.
My brother used to tell me
that there are many cannibal savages
in the deep mountains of the south.
Could it be them?
Very possible.
Anyway, let's see
if there's another stone door.
Let's leave this place first!
It'd be embarrassing if word got out
that two heavenly officials
were chased by a group of mortals.
According to the rules,
heavenly officials must not use magic
to suppress mortal affairs.
To avoid bullying with the use of magic
and causing trouble?
I understand.
Hey.
You ignorant savages
who have never seen the world.
- I know you won't submit to me.
- Wind Master.
But
But
How dare you mess with my appearance!
This is absolutely outrageous!!
Your Highness.
You saw it too.
They brought this upon themselves!
I didn't abuse my magic power!
Right, I saw it.
Even my brother wouldn't dare.
How could you?
In the past, my luck wasn't always good,
but it wasn't always bad either.
- Today, why
- Wind Master.
I'm sorry.
I think I'm jinxing your luck.
Your Highness.
What are you talking about?
How can someone affect my luck?
Come on. Let's find the stone door.
Look.
I knew it!
This time, it's your turn.
Maybe the luck San Lang lent you
still has a bit left.
All right. I'll give it a try.
Why didn't the pattern change this time?
After all of that,
are we back to square one?
Even if that's the case,
we can only continue moving forward.
All right.
Let's play along with that
annoying Crimson Rain Sought Flower
a little longer.
Good news.
Wind Master.
This isn't the secret passage
we first walked through.
That's right.
When we walked 200 steps then,
we encountered a stone wall,
but we haven't seen one now.
It looks like
we got it right this time.
It smells like blood.
There are people ahead.
No comment.
Don't!
Is this
a dungeon?
I knew it.
It's you!
So you two know each other?
I don't know him.
Is knowing me such a disgraceful thing?
You're so bad, Ming!
I'm your best friend!
I don't have friends
who run around dressed like this.
Ming?
Could this person be the Earth Master?
That's him.
You've met him before.
Have I met him?
You have.
We haven't.
You definitely have.
At Half-Moon Pass last time.
You can't have forgotten so soon, right?
We met
at the Half-Moon Pass?
That was close.
It's a good thing I held back
and didn't join the celebration.
Earth Master.
Was it you who sent
the Heavenly Dragon's roar for help?
It was me.
Now that we've found you,
let's leave quickly.
Earth Master's injuries are severe.
We can talk later.
All right.
Ming.
Didn't you say you're good at fighting?
When we parted at Half-Moon Pass,
you were fine.
But you ended up like this
in just a few days?
Ming.
How did you manage to provoke
Crimson Rain Sought Flower?
Tell me about it.
He's speaking
with such good-humored teasing.
They're good friends indeed.
Earth Master.
I'm actually quite
curious too.
When we get back,
I wonder if we have time
to take Lang Ying too.
Don't come out!
San Lang?
Is this the Armory?
Why is Lang Ying here too?
Move aside quickly!
My apologies!
