Legend of Fei Episode 4 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
Guiyang Pills can cure the Bone-Penetrating Poison, but the medicine is potent and requires someone with strong internal energy to guide the circulation of energy. When Yu Lao saw Li Zheng, who had come to deliver the medicine, looking pale and coughing incessantly, how could he not understand the great price the other party had paid for him? Li Zheng disregarded his own gains, losses, and safety to save Yu Lao's life.
Far from holding past grievances, he even ignored the gossip and slander from people in the martial world and invited Yu Lao to join the Forty-Eight Strongholds. This action filled Yu Lao with respect, making him willing to spend his life guarding the Forty-Eight Strongholds and the Qianji Formation of Ximo River.
To stand apart from the world, possessing arrogance but not pride, though his hands were stained with blood, it was only to rescue people from danger – this is what makes a hero. Yu Lao's brief words resonated deeply with Zhou Fei, setting the principle of chivalry in her heart for her future journeys across the martial world.
Yu Lao watched Zhou Fei grow up, sighing that Li Zheng had great fortune to have such a junior, who would surely be extraordinary in the future. After leaving the mountain, Old Madam Wang went to the covert post below the Forty-Eight Strongholds mountain to inquire about news, while Zhou Fei and Li Sheng waited in the carriage. Finding nothing to do, the two began bickering for fun again.
Zhou Fei was simply too lazy to bother with him and closed her eyes to practice the Closed-Eyed Meditation taught by Yu Lao. The so-called Closed-Eyed Meditation is cultivating saber techniques in one's heart. After a long time, Zhou Fei was a little unclear whether she was truly practicing the saber techniques repeatedly or just thinking about them, but since it was quite effective, it was fine to persevere.
Meanwhile, Xie Yun secretly followed Chen Fei and the others all the way and indeed saw the people from Huojiabao drug them unconscious. Xie Yun followed them into Huojiabao and discovered that the Fortress Master Huo Liantao had been secretly capturing people from the martial world recently and was colluding with the Vermilion Bird Master Mu Xiaoqiao, whom everyone in the martial world wanted to kill. However, the Old Fortress Master Huo himself was never seen.
Old Madam Wang could not get news of Chen Fei at the covert post and decided to go to Huojiabao to investigate. Passing through a village, she saw the villagers here avoiding them like snakes and scorpions, their eyes revealing a strange hatred. Old Madam Wang originally did not want to cause trouble and intended to find a secluded place to stay, but she was surrounded by the villagers, who kept demanding they return their children's lives.
The group was unclear about the reason. Compared to the youthful impulsiveness of Li Sheng and Zhou Fei, Old Madam Wang was naturally mature and steady, resolving the misunderstanding in just a few words. It turned out that people dressed as martial artists often committed acts of robbery and murder here. As they were speaking, several more bandits appeared outside the village, intending to do evil.
Old Madam Wang ordered Li Sheng to protect the villagers and went alone with Zhou Fei to confront the bandits. Old Madam Wang was originally a member of the Xiaoxiang Sect, but who knew the other party didn't recognize the Xiaoxiang Sect token at all, even speaking wildly and disrespecting Zhou Fei, and even took the initiative to attack them. The Snow-breaking Saber reappeared. These people becoming souls under the saber was not unjust.
This was also the first time Zhou Fei truly experienced the feeling of taking a life. Her hand holding the saber couldn't help but tremble slightly. Both saving people and killing people inevitably stain one's hands with blood. Old Madam Wang held Zhou Fei's hand, strengthening the chivalry in her heart. After the incident, Old Madam Wang intended to change route to Huarong.
Who knew that Li Sheng, being young and impulsive, actually took advantage of the late night when everyone was asleep to venture out alone on horseback, determined to achieve something that would make Zhou Fei look at him with admiration. Zhou Fei was outside the house, thinking of her mother and unable to sleep. Hearing the commotion, she immediately followed on horseback.
Although Zhou Fei lost track of Li Sheng, she unexpectedly encountered a disciple from Huojiabao leading a horse from the Forty-Eight Strongholds, passing by the foot of the mountain. Zhou Fei followed this person to the vicinity of Huojiabao, was accidentally discovered, and after only a few steps of escaping, suddenly felt the ground give way beneath her feet, falling into a hollow cave.
The cave was too high to climb out of, so Zhou Fei could only look around for the time being. Tapping on the wall, she unexpectedly heard someone tapping back from the other side of the wall. Xie Yun, who was in the Huojiabao dungeon, had hollowed out a natural hole in the mountain and met Zhou Fei's eyes on the other side.
Unable to see the full picture, he didn't recognize her immediately until Xie Yun tested her with food and saw Zhou Fei hand over the chestnuts she had once threatened to feed to a dog. Only then did the two realize each other's identity. Zhou Fei couldn't help but lament that whenever she encountered Xie Yun, it was always accompanied by bad luck. Xie Yun felt guilty. Although his words were humorous and teasing, they were not frivolous.
He admitted that he owed Zhou Fei a favor and promised that if there was a chance, he would definitely take Zhou Fei to enjoy fine food in the world. During their conversation, Zhou Fei learned that Chen Fei and the others were also imprisoned here by Huo Liantao. Since the Old Fortress Master Huo fell ill for no reason and became mentally unsound, Huojiabao had been managed by Huo Liantao.
Huo Liantao had ill intentions, using the pretext of his brother's birthday celebration to lure people from the martial world to a banquet. In reality, it was to force them to submit to Huojiabao, aiming to replicate a second Forty-Eight Strongholds. Those in the martial world who refused to submit were all imprisoned in this dungeon by Huo Liantao. Every day, they were given food mixed with drugs to make them lose their internal energy and be unable to escape.
Most of the imprisoned people thought similarly to Xie Yun, seeing that the food was unusual but deciding it was better than starving to death on the spot. Zhou Fei learned the whereabouts of Chen Fei and the others, feeling half the weight lifted from her heart. She immediately intended to rescue them alone.
