## Story

After accepting the deal, Wu Erbai tells Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen and Hei Yanjing about It and how It seems to be a force or organization of people on the search for immortality.

Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qiling decide to leave the hospital early, despite still being hurt, to find the real entrance to the Old Pavilion and return to Yang Jiao mountain with Wu Xie. Wu Xie has another talk with Hendry Cox and they decide to strike another deal. Hendry Cox reveals copies from the yellow silk Xie Yuchen has and hints at Huo Xiangu, the only member still alive of the original Mystic Nine, to know more than she led on.

Hei Yanjing and Xie Yuchen have a serious talk about the future and Hei Yanjing decides to finish his task of taking Xie Yuchen back to Beijing and then return to his massage business.

Wu Xie and his friends continue excavating the mountain and Wu Xie shows Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qiling a map of the underwater city he drew from memory. They realize it has the exact same formation as Banai village and Wu Xie guesses it might be a big mirror conspiracy: two identical expedition teams, two identical cities. Looking at the map, Wang Pangzi notices a similarity to Zhang Qiling's Qilin tattoo and after comparing it directly realize it to be the same. While they are comparing the tattoo on Zhang Qiling, the sloped shouldered man watches them.

Returning to the village, they find a message of Yun Cai being kidnapped. Despite knowing it to be a trap, they go to Buffalo Trench. Wu Xie takes some spider detergent herbs with them as a precaution and puts it on his friends, also reminding them, they are still not fully healed. They find Yun Cai stuck on spider webs and Wang Pangzi runs to her without hesitation. Zhang Qiling interrupts the sloped shouldered man's surprise attack on Wang Pangzi and tells his friends to save her while he hunts after the mysterious stranger.

Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi manage to save Yun Cai but Wang Pangzi is bitten and loses consciousness. He asks Wu Xie to take care of Yun Cai. Once in a safer part of the forest, Wu Xie leaves Wang Pangzi in Yun Cai's care to find the herbs for the antidote.

Zhang Qiling follows the stranger and they continue fighting. The sloped shouldered man comments on his surprise at how good at fighting Zhang Qiling is, despite having recently come out of the cave tunnels and facing the jade soldiers. When asking him who he is and how he knows his name, the man only retorts Zhang Qiling should take his time and think about it. Realizing this to be a distraction he returns to his friends.

Yun Cai takes out a knife and threatens to kill Wang Pangzi, visibly shaken by her own actions, and in the last moment, she decides to stop, unable to kill Wang Pangzi. Wu Xie, who thought her to be suspicious, appears from the bushes, having planned to stop her if she had even moved the knife one centimeter closer to his friend. She breaks down. Zhang Qiling returns to their makeshift camp and realities what happened. Yun Cai reveals she was forced by the sloped shouldered man to work for him and had continuously reported their progress to him. When they ask who he is, she reveals she only knows his name: Zhang Qiling.

Shocked, they ponder what this means when their friend has the same name, when suddenly she seizes and they realize she was poisoned. Just then, Wang Pangzi awakes and asks if she is alright. As soon as he realizes her state, he goes to her site and screams at his friends for not taking care of her, before giving himself fault for not having saved her. Saddened by her death, he caries her down the mountain to her father and their guide, Uncle Gui.

While Uncle Gui and Wang Pangzi mourn over her dead body, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling ponder about the second Zhang Qiling. Wu Xie suggests it may be part of the mirror conspiracy; there not only being a replacement for the team and the city but maybe Zhang Qiling is the replacement for this other Zhang Qiling. They decide to worry about it later on and care for their mourning friend first.

The next day, Wang Pangzi is gone and Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling run into the mountain, realizing he was going after the sloped shouldered man. Spreading kerosene over the bushes and spider webs, Wang Pangzi is just about to light the forest up, when his friends stop him. Wu Xie tries to reason with him, as starting a fire will burn up half of the mountain and still not bring forth the sloped shouldered man. Angry but knowing the sloped shouldered man does not want them to find the Old Pavilion, Wang Pangzi swears he will find it even if he has to turn over the whole mountain.
