Mystic Nine Episode 10

Third rite completed — a peek into the future — heart of underworld via Luotian

We are shown Huo’s chat with the image. He knows her desire for Huo clan’s survival and her hate for how it’s currently being run. She is seen with Wu’s group inspecting the cracks in wall Zhang and Wu found earlier. What they discover is that Tu has been dead all along and the finch with map was a fake. Now men question if they are also fakes. Wu does the peek into future ritual and sees the nine mystics being executed by Zhang Qi Shan for being spies. They group around him as he collapses and goes into seizure. The wretched eunuch is pleased that it (?) worked on Wu. 😝😡Huo basically wills him to live. He rechecks the murals and finds a path through the wall. Rather than using it he returns to find out if his vision of Zhang QiShan was true or not. He finally finds the mark Zhang left for him.😝🙄 The two groups finally get back together and we get to hear the remainder of the phone call. Mystic Nine is considered a threat that Zhang himself must eradicate. Wu sees the truth and after Huo intervenes the two leaders have a chat behind closed doors. The two leaders hammer it out and Wu finally agrees to help the Japanese. He resents the elite attitude of seeing the bigger picture over the lives of the poor. He will always view Zhang on the wrong side after the mining incident, but agrees that even if only one in ten chance of removing Zhang from mystic nine, he will assist in finding the Japanese tho not their original bargain. Outside, the two clans are back to their brotherly disputes with Qi’s futile attempts to make peace. I can’t believe I forgot how noisy they were together when wishing them to ally. 😝🙉 The leaders emerge from their counsel room to put their clans at ease and finally working the scene together. While the men occupied, Huo looks at the diaries and sees her morning glory on a page. She has been instructed to stay ahead of the leaders and tears the page out. It isn’t clear what side she works for but her independent thoughts are more objective. I don’t mind her being a step ahead of the pissing contest between the males. I do regret the eunuch being the messenger. He really is a loathsome character blackmailing women. 🤬Huo got a much cooler exit down the shaft. The guys…..🙄not so much. Qi notes the writings depict Yin Changsheng’s life and love for his pet shaft named Luotian. They discover the body of a Japanese infantryman that was reassigned to Changsha to be in an operation with Hatoyama called Catch All. Now to see how the Japanese fit into the Chinese underworld to spy on Changsha. The descent to the tower heart continues as the episode ends. Keeping the intrigue going. Huo has shown her hand now but she will make better progress without the bickering men. 😝
