[01:54] ---
    Lian,
[01:55] ---
    how about a drink?
[02:21] ---
    It's okay,
[02:23] ---
    Is this drink not to your taste, Lian?
[02:26] ---
    Oh no, not at all!
[02:28] ---
    It's just that I suddenly remembered that
[02:30] ---
    I need to abstain from
    alcohol for my cultivation.
[02:34] ---
    Sorry,
[02:35] ---
    I didn't consider that.
[02:38] ---
    It's not your fault,
[02:39] ---
    I just forgot myself.
[02:42] ---
    Cultivation, huh?
[02:44] ---
    I thought it was about enjoying life freely.
[02:46] ---
    If it's all about giving up this and that,
[02:48] ---
    maybe it's better not to cultivate at all...
[02:49] ---
    It must be the Wind Master for sure...
[02:51] ---
    What do you think,Lian?
[02:54] ---
    Some sects indeed don't care much,
[02:57] ---
    but in my sect,
[02:58] ---
    it's customary to abstain from
    alcohol, sexual indulgence,
[03:00] ---
    and also anger.
[03:01] ---
    Abstain from anger?
[03:02] ---
    Yes,
[03:04] ---
    for example, in a gambling house...
[03:05] ---
    People experience great joy
    and sorrow in an instant...
[03:07] ---
    and it's very easy to get angry.
[03:09] ---
    But if one can maintain a calm mind
[03:12] ---
    and not be perturbed by winning or losing,
[03:13] ---
    then there's no need to consciously
    abstain from gambling.
[03:15] ---
    No wonder you still have an interest in
[03:17] ---
    going to a gambling house.
[03:19] ---
    Speaking of which...
[03:20] ---
    San Lang your gambling skills
[03:22] ---
    are truly incredible.
[03:25] ---
    It's no big deal,
[03:26] ---
    just sheer good luck.
[03:28] ---
    San Lang,
[03:29] ---
    please don't tease me...
[03:32] ---
    How could I dare to tease you, Lian?
[03:34] ---
    If you want to learn...
[03:35] ---
    I actually have a shortcut method
[03:37] ---
    that will make you unbeatable in any battle.
[03:40] ---
    Is there really some secret technique
[03:42] ---
    for dice throwing?
[03:44] ---
    Give me your hand.
[03:49] ---
    Alright,
[03:50] ---
    now try again.
[03:58] ---
    What kind of method is this?
[04:00] ---
    It's nothing special,
[04:01] ---
    just lending some luck to you, Lian.
[04:06] ---
    Next time...
[04:07] ---
    if you want to gamble with someone...
[04:09] ---
    Why don't you come to me first?
[04:10] ---
    I'll give you as much as you want.
[04:13] ---
    Once I defeat an opponent, they won't be
    able to turn the tables for a hundred years.
[04:17] ---
    These two dice...
[04:19] ---
    If you don't mind, consider them
    a little gift for you, Lian.
[04:24] ---
    Why would I mind.
[04:25] ---
    Then thank you, San Lang.
[04:28] ---
    Want to play a few more rounds?
[04:29] ---
    Sure.
[04:33] ---
    It's getting late, Lian,
[04:34] ---
    get some good rest.
[04:42] ---
    San Lang, you've been flawless
    in your treatment towards me.
[04:45] ---
    I hope this matter has
    nothing to do with San Lang,
[04:47] ---
    and once we uncover the truth,
[04:48] ---
    I'll immediately apologize to him...
[04:51] ---
    Wind Master?
[04:53] ---
    Your Highness?
[04:56] ---
    Suffocating!
[04:58] ---
    Suffocating!
[05:00] ---
    Oh my god,
[05:01] ---
    these things are strangling me to death!
[05:06] ---
    Wind Master!
[05:07] ---
    Can't you change back to your
    original white Dao robe?
[05:10] ---
    Am I stupid?
[05:11] ---
    Wearing a bright white Dao robe
    in the middle of the night,
[05:14] ---
    making myself a target?
[05:17] ---
    Dressed like this,
[05:18] ---
    in a certain sense, it's
    even more eye-catching.
[05:21] ---
    Wind Master, didn't we agree
    to meet again after three days?
[05:26] ---
    I heard you were sent to the Paradise Manor!
[05:29] ---
    I've put in tremendous effort worrying
[05:30] ---
    about your safety...
[05:33] ---
    Face-lifting!
[05:34] ---
    Waist-cinching!
[05:35] ---
    Just got in!
[05:38] ---
    I've never made such a huge sacrifice before!
[05:43] ---
    What about Prince Taihua?
[05:44] ---
    He shouldn't get into trouble
    while he's alone outside.
[05:47] ---
    Don't worry!
[05:48] ---
    I've made all the arrangements,
[05:49] ---
    foolproof!
[05:54] ---
    But
[05:55] ---
    Your Highness,
[05:56] ---
    you're really lucky!
[05:58] ---
    I'm lucky?
[05:59] ---
    Yes,
[06:00] ---
    both Qianqiu and I had a tough
    time in the City of Ghost...
[06:05] ---
    You, on the other hand,
[06:06] ---
    are eating well, drinking
    well, and living comfortably.
[06:10] ---
    There's even the Crimson Rain Sought
    Flower accompanying you as a guest.
[06:14] ---
    It's indeed a bit...
[06:16] ---
    So, Your Highness,
[06:17] ---
    do you remember our mission in
    the City of Ghost this time?
[06:20] ---
    Of course I do.
[06:22] ---
    Just now in the palace,
[06:23] ---
    I was preparing for the mission.
[06:24] ---
    Really?
[06:26] ---
    All I remember is the
    two of you playing dice,
[06:29] ---
    not taking it seriously.
[06:30] ---
    Wind Master, please don't talk nonsense.
[06:32] ---
    We were just sparring.
[06:34] ---
    Sparring?
[06:35] ---
    About gambling skills?
[06:36] ---
    What does that have to do with the mission?
[06:38] ---
    Actually...
[06:39] ---
    I've discovered some clues.
[06:41] ---
    But to investigate further,
[06:42] ---
    I need a bit of luck.
[06:45] ---
    Luck?
[06:47] ---
    Looks like the two of us...
[06:49] ---
    That's why
[06:50] ---
    I borrowed some.
[06:56] ---
    Wow...
[06:57] ---
    You really have some
    incredible luck in gambling!
[07:00] ---
    Yeah...
[07:03] ---
    Well, at this point, let's
    try to stay positive.
[07:05] ---
    But if I were you,
[07:06] ---
    I wouldn't have agreed to
    help His Majesty the Emperor.
[07:08] ---
    It's just asking for trouble.
[07:11] ---
    Wind Master,
[07:12] ---
    you still don't fully understand Jun Wu.
[07:15] ---
    If it weren't for the circumstances...
[07:18] ---
    In any case,
[07:19] ---
    the distress signal was sent seven days ago,
[07:21] ---
    and Hua Cheng left seven days ago as well...
[07:23] ---
    It's too much of a coincidence.
[07:25] ---
    We have to investigate...
[07:38] ---
    By the way...
[07:39] ---
    Have there been any heavenly officials from the
    Heavenly Court who were demoted in recent years?
[07:42] ---
    Well, there's you,
[07:42] ---
    isn't it?
[07:43] ---
    Besides me...
[07:45] ---
    Why do you ask about that?
[07:47] ---
    This underground passage
[07:48] ---
    was discovered by following a ghost
    messenger named Waning Moon Officer...
[07:52] ---
    And he had this set of
    curse shackle on his hands.
[07:54] ---
    What?
[07:55] ---
    Curse shackle?
[07:56] ---
    Yes,
[07:57] ---
    it's likely that he was a demoted heavenly
    official from the Heavenly Court.
[08:00] ---
    So arrogant?
[08:01] ---
    Hiring a former heavenly
    official as a subordinate?
[08:04] ---
    It's not necessarily arrogant.
[08:05] ---
    Since he was demoted,
[08:07] ---
    where he goes afterward is a personal choice.
[08:09] ---
    But...
[08:10] ---
    It's just that the actions of this
    ghost messenger are suspicious.
[08:13] ---
    That's why I thought of asking
    you Wind Master about it.
[08:17] ---
    There was indeed a Western Martial
    God who was demoted in recent years,
[08:20] ---
    and it caused quite a stir.
[08:22] ---
    The Western Martial God?
[08:24] ---
    Isn't that Quan Yizhen?
[08:26] ---
    But I don't think it would be him.
[08:28] ---
    Why is that?
[08:29] ---
    Well, he comes from a
    very orthodox background,
[08:31] ---
    and his personality isn't the
    type to be unpredictable.
[08:34] ---
    Why did it end so abruptly?
[08:37] ---
    This is a dead-end?
[08:38] ---
    That can't be possible.
[08:40] ---
    It shouldn't be.
[08:42] ---
    Going through all this trouble to
    build this underground passage,
[08:44] ---
    it definitely wasn't meant for meditation.
[08:48] ---
    This wall.
[08:49] ---
    It must be at least as thick as 33 meters.
[08:51] ---
    We can't break through it.
[08:52] ---
    Wind Master,
[08:53] ---
    look on the ground.
[08:55] ---
    It seems like there's something.
[08:58] ---
    Could it be that we need to throw
    the dice with the correct number
[09:00] ---
    to open this stone wall?
[09:02] ---
    It seems like it.
[09:04] ---
    We just don't know
[09:05] ---
    what the right combination is...
[09:07] ---
    Since we've come this far,
[09:08] ---
    it's not practical to
    go back and investigate.
[09:09] ---
    Let's just randomly throw something
    out and see what happens.
[09:12] ---
    Well…
[09:13] ---
    why don't you give it a try, Wind Master?
[09:16] ---
    Alright.
[09:26] ---
    Does it really not work...
[09:27] ---
    Your Highness!
[09:28] ---
    Look at your feet!
[09:31] ---
    The pattern has changed.
[09:34] ---
    What is this?
[09:35] ---
    An Earthworm?
[09:36] ---
    A leech?
[09:38] ---
    I've seen quite a few in the fields before.
[09:39] ---
    Where exactly do you usually... um?
[09:54] ---
    What's going on here?
[09:56] ---
    It seems like the stone
    wall was just a decoy,
[09:58] ---
    and the floor tiles on the
    ground are the real entrance.
[10:04] ---
    This soil...
[10:07] ---
    Thank goodness the soil is soft,
[10:08] ---
    or else I would have hurt
    myself from the fall...
[10:15] ---
    What kind of place is this?
[10:17] ---
    They don't even give us enough
    space to stand upright!
[10:21] ---
    Could it be that I threw the wrong number
[10:24] ---
    and ended up being thrown here?
[10:25] ---
    Highly possible.
[10:27] ---
    The stone door above is gone,
[10:29] ---
    so we can't go back the same way.
[10:30] ---
    Let's go.
[10:31] ---
    We need to find a way out first.
[10:33] ---
    Alright!
[10:56] ---
    This place is so bizarre.
[10:57] ---
    It's so damp and gloomy.
[10:58] ---
    And it's full of dead animals and plants.
[11:08] ---
    Wind Master,
[11:09] ---
    we should hurry up and keep moving.
[11:17] ---
    Your Highness,
[11:18] ---
    what is that?
[11:19] ---
    I don't know,
[11:20] ---
    but it's definitely not something good.
[11:48] ---
    Your Highness...
[11:49] ---
    How do we deal with this?
[11:51] ---
    If I blow wind in this spot,
[11:52] ---
    we might not make it out alive.
[11:54] ---
    Earthworm fear light and heat...
[11:56] ---
    Wind Master,
[11:57] ---
    could you lend me some power
[11:58] ---
    and make the flames in your palm bigger?
[12:00] ---
    Alright!
[12:31] ---
    Wind Master.
[12:32] ---
    The underground airflow is restricted.
[12:34] ---
    I'm afraid the flames in your
    palm won't last much longer.
[12:37] ---
    If I keep the flames in my palm any longer,
[12:38] ---
    I'll pass out from the heat!
[12:40] ---
    Let's use teleportation!
[12:42] ---
    Okay,
[12:43] ---
    let me find a flat ground first.
[12:48] ---
    The stone door?
[12:51] ---
    Quick, quick, quick!
[12:52] ---
    Throw the dice and open it!
[12:56] ---
    My luck...
[12:57] ---
    Can it get any more absurd?
[13:00] ---
    It's better if you do it!
[13:37] ---
    Wind Master,
[13:38] ---
    are you alright?
[13:39] ---
    I don't know if I'm alright,
[13:41] ---
    but Your Highness...
[13:43] ---
    It's really thrilling
[13:45] ---
    to work with you.
[13:47] ---
    I've never fallen so miserably before.
[13:53] ---
    You've really worked hard.
[13:55] ---
    Well, you're welcome.
[14:02] ---
    There's an exit here,
[14:03] ---
    let's go.
[14:13] ---
    Where
[14:15] ---
    are we this time?
[14:19] ---
    It seems that
[14:20] ---
    this stone door is like a magical tool
    that can teleport over a long distance...
[14:24] ---
    And throwing different
    numbers will teleport us
[14:25] ---
    to different places.
[14:28] ---
    It takes a lot of magic power
[14:30] ---
    to use the long-distance teleportation spell,
[14:31] ---
    and that Crimson Rain Sought Flower
    made a continuous teleportation tool
[14:34] ---
    to prevent leakage of information.
[14:37] ---
    The strength of his magic
[14:39] ---
    and his cunning are evident!
[14:41] ---
    Rather than saying he is cunning,
[14:42] ---
    it's more like...
[14:43] ---
    he’s just mischievous.
[14:53] ---
    What's happening again?
[14:56] ---
    Don't panic,
[14:57] ---
    just stay calm.
[14:58] ---
    Let's see what's going on first.
[15:06] ---
    My brother used to tell me
    that there are many savages
[15:08] ---
    in the deep mountains of the south
    who eat human flesh for a living!
[15:12] ---
    Could it be them?!
[15:13] ---
    Very possible! Anyway,
[15:15] ---
    let's see if there's another stone door here!
[15:16] ---
    Let's leave this place first!
[15:19] ---
    It would be embarrassing for two
    heavenly officials to be chased
[15:22] ---
    and beaten by a group of
    mortals if word gets out.
[15:23] ---
    There are rules for gods to
    descend to the mortal realm,
[15:25] ---
    they must not use their magic power
[15:28] ---
    to suppress mortal affairs
    without authorization.
[15:30] ---
    and causing trouble.
[15:31] ---
    I understand!
[15:43] ---
    Hey...
[15:45] ---
    You ignorant savages who
    have never seen the world,
[15:49] ---
    it's understandable
[15:50] ---
    if you don't submit to me, the Wind Master...
[15:52] ---
    Wind Master.
[15:52] ---
    but...
[15:53] ---
    but...
[15:55] ---
    How dare you mess with my appearance!
[15:56] ---
    This is absolutely outrageous!!
[16:07] ---
    Your Highness,
[16:08] ---
    you saw it too,
[16:09] ---
    they brought this upon themselves!
[16:10] ---
    I didn't abuse my magic power!
[16:12] ---
    Well done,
[16:13] ---
    I see it too.
[16:15] ---
    Even my brother wouldn't dare...
[16:17] ---
    How could you...
[16:20] ---
    In the past, my luck wasn't always good,
[16:23] ---
    but it wasn't always bad either.
[16:25] ---
    Why today...
[16:26] ---
    Wind Master...
[16:28] ---
    Sorry,
[16:29] ---
    I guess I'm jinxing your luck.
[16:32] ---
    Your Highness,
[16:33] ---
    what are you talking about!
[16:35] ---
    How can I have my luck
    affected by someone else!
[16:40] ---
    Let's go, let's go!
[16:41] ---
    Let's find the stone door?
[16:50] ---
    See,
[16:51] ---
    I knew it!
[16:55] ---
    This time, it's your turn.
[16:57] ---
    Maybe your San Lang's luck that rubbed
    off on you still has a bit left.
[17:01] ---
    Alright.
[17:02] ---
    I'll give it a try.
[17:08] ---
    Why didn't the pattern change this time?
[17:21] ---
    After all that,
[17:23] ---
    we haven't made any progress?
[17:25] ---
    Even if that's the case,
[17:27] ---
    we can only continue moving forward.
[17:29] ---
    Alright, alright,
[17:30] ---
    let's play a little longer
[17:32] ---
    with that annoying Crimson
    Rain Sought Flower!
[17:46] ---
    Good news,
[17:47] ---
    Wind Master.
[17:48] ---
    This isn't the first underground
    passage we've walked through.
[17:50] ---
    That's right,
[17:52] ---
    when we walked two hundred steps last
    time, we encountered a stone wall,
[17:54] ---
    but now we haven't encountered one.
[17:56] ---
    Looks like this time
[17:57] ---
    we got it right.
[18:03] ---
    There's a smell of blood.
[18:05] ---
    There are people ahead.
[18:07] ---
    No comment.
[18:13] ---
    Wait!
[18:18] ---
    Is this...
[18:19] ---
    a dungeon?
[18:25] ---
    Exactly...
[18:26] ---
    it's you!
[18:37] ---
    So, you two know each other?
[18:39] ---
    I don't know him.
[18:40] ---
    Is knowing me such a disgraceful thing?
[18:43] ---
    Oh, come on,
[18:44] ---
    Ming!
[18:45] ---
    I'm your best friend!
[18:46] ---
    I don't have friends who run
    around dressed like this.
[18:51] ---
    Ming?
[18:52] ---
    Could this person be the Earth Master?
[18:55] ---
    That's him,
[18:56] ---
    you've met him before.
[18:57] ---
    Have I met him?
[18:59] ---
    You have.
[19:00] ---
    I haven't.
[19:02] ---
    You definitely have!
[19:03] ---
    Last time at the Ban Yue Pass,
[19:05] ---
    you can't have forgotten so soon, right?
[19:08] ---
    The Ban Yue Pass...
[19:09] ---
    have we met?
[19:19] ---
    That was close,
[19:21] ---
    so lucky that I managed to hold back,
[19:22] ---
    no "joint celebration"...
[19:23] ---
    Earth Master,
[19:25] ---
    was it you who sent the Heavenly
    Dragon's roar for help?
[19:27] ---
    It was me.
[19:29] ---
    Now that we've found you,
[19:31] ---
    let's evacuate quickly.
[19:32] ---
    Earth Master, your injuries are severe,
[19:34] ---
    we can talk later.
[19:35] ---
    Alright.
[19:54] ---
    Ming,
[19:56] ---
    didn't you say you were good at fighting?
[19:59] ---
    When we parted at the Ban
    Yue Pass, you were fine,
[20:01] ---
    but in just a few days,
    you ended up like this?
[20:05] ---
    Ming,
[20:06] ---
    how did you manage to provoke
    the Crimson Rain Sought Flower?
[20:09] ---
    Tell me about it.
[20:10] ---
    This kind of banter in your speech...
[20:12] ---
    you two really are good friends.
[20:14] ---
    Earth Master,
[20:15] ---
    I'm actually quite...
[20:17] ---
    curious...rious...
[20:32] ---
    We might not make it back
[20:33] ---
    in time to save Lang Ying.
[20:38] ---
    Don't come out!
[20:52] ---
    San Lang?
[20:53] ---
    Is this the Armory?
[21:00] ---
    Why is Lang Ying here too.
[21:07] ---
    Move aside quickly!
[21:12] ---
    My apologies!
