13.A bamboo house, day, interior

【Flashback】

Nangong Cheng and Ye Xiuying sat at opposite ends of a table, with two empty teacups on the table.

Ye Xiuying: You have to remember that you are dealing with a guy who is more insidious and cunning than an eagle. You cannot show off your martial arts except to let him know that your Qinggong is amazing. [End of flashback]

14.In the forest, night, outside

Nangong Cheng: (taking back his steps) That’s all, I can’t control you anymore, just ask for your own blessings!

After saying that, Nangong Cheng left the forest.

15. A thatched house, night, inside

In the thatched house, there was a table with some wine and food on it. Shen Yong and the masked man in black were sitting at the table.

(The camera cuts to outside the thatched house.)

The big man with purple beard approached quietly, pressed against the window of the thatched house, and listened to the movement inside the thatched house.

(The camera cuts to inside the thatched house.)

Shen Yong: Brother, thank you so much for your help today. If you hadn’t taken action, I really wouldn’t have been able to enter the Hermitage. (Pour a cup of tea for the masked man in black.) I know that my brother never drinks, so I will drink tea instead today.

Wine, congratulations to my brother for taking his martial arts to a higher level, do it!

The man in black took off his mask, picked up the cup in his hand, touched it with Shen Yong, and each drank the tea.

(The camera cuts to outside the thatched house.)

The big man with purple beard dug a hole in the window and looked into the room with one eye, but what he saw was the back of a masked man in black.

Purple-bearded man: (narration) Strange, who is this person? Why is the voice so familiar? It seems like I have heard it somewhere.

(The camera cuts to the thatched house.)

Masked man in black: (puts down the cup) Even so, don’t be careless. Don’t forget, you still have to deal with the traps of Hermitage Villa.

Shen Yong: (laughing) I am not afraid of the institutions from more than ten years ago at all!

Masked man in black: Although these mechanisms were built by Old Man Xiang more than ten years ago, we should not be careless. I heard that after Old Man Xiang built the mechanism, he invited some friends from the world to crack the mechanism. At that time, there were only three people.

Cracking old man Xiang’s trap.

Shen Yong: Who are they?

Masked men in black: the sword god Ximen Changfeng who lives in seclusion in Mount Lu, the traveling swordsman Cha Jinyong and the deceased head of the Emei Sect Wu Zheng.

Shen Yong: These three people are all peerless swordsmen now. Could it be that other than them, no one else has passed?

Masked man in black: (nods) No.

Shen Yong: Listening to what you said, it seems that Old Man Xiang’s organization should not be underestimated. (Laughs) I didn’t expect that it would be so difficult for me, Shen Sanying, to enter a hermit villa.

(The camera cuts to outside the thatched house.)

Purple Bearded Man: (Narration) Shen Sanying, it turns out that Shen Yong is Shen Sanying.

(The camera cuts to the thatched house.)

Masked Man in Black: Okay, without further ado, I will teach you how to crack the mechanism of Hermitage Villa now...

16.thatched house, night, outside

"Gu..." The big man with purple beard's stomach growled at this time.

Masked man in black: (covered with a scarf, looking out the window) Who?

Seeing that he had been discovered, the big man with purple beard stood up and ran away. The masked man in black jumped out of the window and chased after the big man with purple beard. The two were running twenty steps apart, and the masked man in black chased him.

After a few steps, he turned over and flew in front of the purple-bearded man. The purple-bearded man immediately stopped.

Masked man in black: (Looking at the big man with purple beard) When stalking people, you must remember to eat enough. If you don’t eat enough, your stomach will betray you.

The big man with purple beard pulled out his knife and pointed it at the masked man in black.

Masked man in black: We have already fought against each other in the ring at Hermitage Villa, and you are no match for me. Now, do you still want to fight against me?

The big man with purple beard: (Looking at the masked man in black with a defensive look on his face) Huh, even so, it is absolutely impossible for me to capture you without mercy! Come on! Let’s have another decisive battle! This time the outcome will be decided by life and death.

Shen Sanying: (Appearing behind the purple-bearded man) Who do you think you are? With your three-legged cat skills, are you worthy of a duel with my elder brother?

Purple-bearded man: You are right! I am not your elder brother's opponent, and I am not worthy to duel with him, but I can duel with you! Shen Sanying, watch your moves——

After saying that, the big man with purple beard held the knife in both hands and slashed at Shen Sanying. Shen Sanying just stood there motionless.

Just when the knife in the purple-bearded man's hand was about to hit Shen Sanying, a masked man in black appeared in front of Shen Sanying. A flying kick happened to hit the purple-bearded man in the stomach. The purple-bearded man was kicked back for more than ten seconds. step.

Purple-bearded man: (pointing to the masked man in black) Who are you? Are you someone I know?

Masked Man in Black: Do you really want to know my identity?

The big man with purple beard nodded.

Masked man in black: In this case, if you know my identity, then I will kill you. Do you still want to know my identity?

The big man with purple beard began to hesitate.

Shen Sanying: Brother, even if he doesn't want to know your identity, you can't spare him. He heard our conversation just now. If you let him live, then my plan will be completely ruined.

Masked man in black: (nods) That's right. (looking at the big man with purple beard) It seems that you must die today.

The big man with purple beard stopped talking and started slashing at the masked man in black with his knife.

Masked man in black: (looking at the big man with purple beard and facing Shen Sanying) Third brother, step aside first!

Shen Sanying nodded knowingly and stepped aside to watch the decisive battle between the masked man in black and the big man with purple beard.

The big man with purple beard held a knife and slashed at the masked man in black. The masked man in black dodged aside and avoided the knife.

The purple-bearded man stabbed the masked man in black five times in a row, but the masked man in black dodged them all easily.

When the purple-bearded man slashed for the sixth time, the masked man in black grabbed the handle of the purple-bearded man's knife.

Masked man in black: You have slashed me six times, and my friendship with you has been severed!

Purple-bearded man: Bah! You, Shen Sanying’s accomplice, our friendship was severed from the moment you helped Shen Sanying.

Masked man in black: OK

, in this case, I won’t be polite!

After saying that, the masked man in black held the handle of the knife with both hands, flew up, and kicked the big man with purple beard in the abdomen.

The big man with the purple beard was kicked until his mouth oozed blood, but he still held the knife tightly with both hands.

The masked man in black simply kicked the purple-bearded man in the face for the last time, and then kicked the purple-bearded man away.

The big man with purple beard flew back and fell hard to the ground on his back. His nine-ring steel knife landed in the hand of the masked man in black.

Masked man in black: (Looking at the nine-ring steel knife in his hand) Nine-ring steel knife, good knife! Good knife! It’s a pity that such a good knife was used like this by you.

The big man with purple beard: (struggles to sit up and coughs) Who...are you?

Masked Man in Black: Okay! Since you are about to die, I will let you see my true face.

After saying that, the masked man in black took off the scarf covering his face, revealing his true face.

Purple-bearded man: (pointing to the masked man in black in surprise) You... you... how could it be you? You are a decent and decent man, why are you hanging out with Shen Sanying, an evil heretic?

Masked man in black: You don’t need to know this.

After saying that, the masked man in black put on the mask again and swung the nine-ringed steel knife towards the purple-bearded man, leaving a mark on the purple-bearded man's neck. The purple-bearded man died with a look of horror on his face.

Masked man in black: (Two lines of tears flowed out) From now on, I have lost another friend with whom I can drink wine and eat meat. Brother Zibeard, have a good trip! (Throws the nine-ring steel knife towards Shen Sanying) Third brother, please find someone to bury him, and place this nine-ringed steel sword in front of his tomb, and set up a tombstone for him. On the tombstone, write "The Tomb of the Purple Bearded Hero Wang Guan".

Shen Sanying: (nods) Don’t worry, brother! I will do what you tell me, little brother.

The masked man in black nodded, and Shen Sanying and the masked man in black left together.

17. In front of Hermitage Villa, sun, outside

In the early morning, Shen Sanying, disguised as Shen Yong, arrived at the Hermitage Villa.

Shen Sanying knocked on the door.

Fat old man: (opening the door and yawning) You came quite early.

Shen Sanying: That's natural. I also want to get rid of Shen Sanying as soon as possible and clean up the family!

Fat old man: (nods) Today you are going to challenge the most powerful mechanism in our Hermitage Villa - Thousands of Swords Flying Together. Are you ready?

18. In front of thatched house, sun, outside

【Flashback】

The masked man in black and Shen Sanying returned to the thatched house after killing the purple-bearded man.

Masked Man in Black: Did anything come into Hermitage yesterday?

Shen Sanying: Yes! A lot of swords were transported to Hermitage Villa, probably thousands of them.

Masked man in black: (Nodding, serious) Third brother, tomorrow you will challenge the most powerful mechanism in Hermitage Villa - Ten Thousand Swords Flying Together. You must be mentally prepared.

Shen Sanying: Brother, can you tell me about this Thousand Swords Flying Together?
