Resumen del episodio 7 de Love Beyond the Grave
> Resúmenes de Love Beyond the Grave
At the Lin Mansion, Duan Xu sat alone in the quiet of the night, tending to the wounds he sustained on the battlefield. When Meng Wan arrived to help him change his dressings, he gently turned her away, insisting he could manage the minor injuries himself. After she left to rest, He Simu suddenly appeared in his chamber. Duan Xu, who was partially unclothed, hurriedly tried to put on his robes, but He Simu remained unfazed.
She told him bluntly that she had already seen him "completely clean" before, so covering up now would do nothing to restore his modesty. He Simu began to press Duan Xu about his past, questioning why every friend and teacher he could name—including Meng Wan, Xia Qingsheng, and Academician Yang—only entered his life after he turned eighteen. She specifically mentioned his blind master and the amnesiac Han Lingqiu, wondering if they were part of his life before that pivotal age.
Duan Xu admitted that he had no friends before he was eighteen and, despite his superb martial arts, he chose not to resist when He Simu pinned him down. He acknowledged that in the face of her absolute power, any struggle was futile. He Simu then proposed a supernatural bargain: she would grant him wishes in exchange for his five senses, with each sense being traded for a ten-day period.
She explained that this was the limit a mortal body could endure, and once he recovered, they could begin another exchange. However, she noted that his wishes could not interfere with the laws of the world; while she could save his life on the battlefield, she could not simply grant him victory in the war. Though Duan Xu realized she was the Spirit Lord who had waited three centuries for a master of the Po Wang Sword, he remained defiant.
He claimed he never sought the help of others to fulfill his desires, preferring to achieve things through his own strength. To his surprise, He Simu decided to stay the night, even suggesting they share a pillow, mockingly comparing his "trade" of war and death to her own nature as a spirit. The situation grew awkward when Xia Qingsheng arrived with medicine for Duan Xu.
Stumbling upon the intimate and strange scene of He Simu pinning the General down on the bed, he beat a hasty retreat. In the hallway, he encountered Meng Wan, who was bringing late-night food for her senior brother. To prevent her from entering the room and witnessing the scandal, Xia Qingsheng intercepted her and stuffed the food into his own mouth, much to Meng Wan’s annoyance. The following day, a tragedy unfolded at the city gates.
Awo'erqi and the North Chong army brought the head of the Lin family's main branch, along with his entire household, to the base of the walls. They were captured for aiding the Great Liang army in securing grain. The elder Lin, whose father was a general who died in battle at Yunzhou, refused to beg for mercy.
He gave a final, stirring speech to his nephew, Lin Jun, reminding him that the Lin clan, though mere merchants, must remain loyal to Great Liang and never fear death. In a brutal display of cruelty, Awo'erqi ordered the execution of all twenty-three members of the Lin family before the eyes of the defenders. Duan Xu, witnessing the slaughter, solemnly swore that he would take Awo'erqi’s head to appease the souls of the Lin family.
Determined to root out the traitor who had compromised the grain raid and the Lin family, Duan Xu approached the grieving Lin Jun with a plan. He requested Lin Jun's help in organizing a martial arts contest, ostensibly to test Han Lingqiu’s true skills, as the captain’s background and memory loss remained suspicious. Duan Xu secretly had Meng Wan instruct Han Lingqiu to hold back his true strength during the matches.
During the contest, Han Lingqiu defeated several opponents with ease, but the matches remained relatively standard until Lin Jun suggested a blindfolded trial—a method he claimed relied on hearing and wind-judgment to determine true mastery. Once blindfolded, Han Lingqiu displayed a lethal and sophisticated martial style that stunned the crowd. However, this was exactly what Duan Xu was waiting for. He suddenly halted the proceedings and accused Lin Jun of being the spy.
He revealed that the "Blindfolded Trial" was actually the "Mingshi," a secret technique used by the "Tian Zhixiao" organization. Duan Xu pointed out that the man before them was not the real Lin Jun, but Master Fifteen in disguise. He noted that the carriage provided for He Simu was Master Fifteen’s, and he had been privy to all the military communications that led to the North Chong ambushes.
As the ruse fell apart, the real Lin Jun was brought forward, having been rescued by Chen Ying and He Simu from a hidden chamber. Master Fifteen dropped his mask, revealing that Han Lingqiu was actually his Seventeenth Junior Brother and their mentor’s favorite disciple. Han Lingqiu, however, rejected this claim, stating firmly that he was a captain of the Great Liang army and nothing more.
Seeing no way out, Master Fifteen seized Duan Xu as a hostage, using him as a shield to demand a horse and safe passage out of the city. To ensure the General's safety, the guards were forced to stand down and prepare for the traitor's escape.
