Mystic Nine Episode 30

Sun-moon sand and aftermath

It looked like the heavens covered the city with the sand. The storyteller gives the boy a different ending for the characters. It is confirmed that Xie has died and the 8 toast him. Zhang visits the prison cell to find out if he had any last words. Xie felt it worth it to carry the responsibilities of the nine and look out for the people. Zhang still questions if it was the right choice. They all part ways to live quietly. Mr Hong is teaching the children of fallen soldiers and getting much needed supplies where they are needed. He still has his wife’s coffin with him but now has his own beside her. It’s slightly taller so she can always rest her head in his shoulder and hear him sing when it’s his time to join her . Mr Li sends his family off to safety and hears his son call him father for first time. I do not know what the item is he gave his son but do know it’s significant for their clan because master Li always had it with him. He and 6th master have a toast celebrating fatherhood and then signal their men to be ready for the Japanese. While the city is fleeing they go to the landing site to greet the Japanese with a bang. The scene swaps to Mr Chen who has been using his claw to wreak havoc on the Japanese. He’s resting on a tree bough smirking at them trying to find him. The scene shifts to a ballroom where Tottori is a drunken ass and Huo comes to meet him. She makes short work of his sorry ass and the scene moves to Hangzhou where she is walking down a street with a nice short haircut. There is talk of a dog trainer that married into one of the families from there. Wu and his man are outside a temple and Wu can now read. He is educating himself as he trains dogs giving them a variety of skills to aid war efforts. The scene shifts to the front lines with Zhang and XiaoYu. Things look grim but Yin shows up with enough men to hold the line. The goal was Western Heaven to gain the true scriptures. Wu Xie is recounting his grandfather’s notes that said each found their own way. Did they achieve their goal? Maybe their legacy will tell us. Seems the story will continue through Wu Xie’s generation and this story is a closed chapter. I enjoyed this tale very much. The characters were made quite real via the cast. Production was very successful making the tower eerie and full of puzzles to figure out. 👏🏻 My only question is after letting him annoy us for 29 episodes, why no peek at where Qi hid himself?🫣🧐
