Legend of Fei Episode 5 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
Xie Yun drew a map on the stone wall. Due to the obstructed view, Zhou Fei couldn't see the dense details clearly and had to risk infiltrating the prison cell. The reason Xie Yun knew the full layout of the dungeon and the details of each patrol shift was because he had long been able to move freely within it, the result of secretly gathering information for many days.
After Zhou Fei successfully entered Xie Yun's cell and examined it carefully, she did not follow his suggestion to seek help from an elder. Instead, she secretly prepared to go alone to rescue Chen Fei and the others. As for Xie Yun himself, he knew that unexpected changes would occur in the Huo family's dungeon soon, but for some reason, he insisted on waiting there.
He only instructed Zhou Fei not to provoke anyone dressed in blood-red clothes if she encountered them. Before parting, Xie Yun thought it unlikely they would meet again soon, so he took out a wooden saber and gave it to Zhou Fei. It turned out that he had been carefully carving this object when he had nothing else to do in the past few days.
Although the wooden saber was small and not very exquisite, Xie Yun always remembered that Zhou Fei had been separated from her family because of him and had even lost the saber she had carried for many years. One day, Xie Yun would find a truly good saber to give to Zhou Fei. Zhou Fei, following Xie Yun's instructions, successfully evaded the detection of the Huo family disciples.
Along the way, she unexpectedly encountered Shen Tianshu, who was also in the dungeon. Although Zhou Fei was cautious and did not reveal her identity, seeing that the other party was coughing incessantly, she remembered her father who had been ill for a long time and kindly handed the non-toxic flatbread she had taken to Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu spoke to test her, but seeing that Zhou Fei didn't even know what the Four Symbols Mountain was, he believed that she truly had no one at home, which was why such a reckless junior was allowed to wander around everywhere. Shen Tianshu seemed to have a good impression of Zhou Fei and even had the patience to explain the origin of the Four Symbols Mountain to this unnamed junior before him.
The four leaders of the Four Symbols Mountain styled themselves as the Four Symbols, and at one point caused bloodshed in the martial world. But in Shen Tianshu's eyes, they were merely a bunch of insignificant troublemakers. Later, the four brothers of the Four Symbols Mountain had internal conflicts and disintegrated. The Vermilion Bird branch settled near Jingzhou, relying on the Huo family.
The Vermilion Bird Master Mu Xiaoqiao once defeated the three elders of the Mount Tai Sect alone within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and then retreated completely in front of everyone. Zhou Fei marveled at Mu Xiaoqiao's astonishing martial arts, but did not feel timid because of it. After thanking Shen Tianshu for his guidance, she slipped into the kitchen alone to search for an antidote.
No sooner had Zhou Fei left than the Diyuan disciples, following Shen Tianshu's order, began pursuing Mu Xiaoqiao and capturing Huo Liantao alive to interrogate him about the whereabouts of the token. Shen Tianshu's infiltration of the dungeon was just a cover; he was waiting for today to close the net. However, seeing the flatbread on the table, he uncharacteristically specifically instructed his subordinates not to harm Zhou Fei.
Xie Yun saw that Zhou Fei had found many bottles and jars, but none of them contained an antidote. He had no choice but to personally take her to find the antidote. It was precisely because of this that they accidentally discovered that lamp oil was buried in the dungeon. Xie Yun and Zhou Fei learned that Huo Liantao actually intended to blow up the dungeon and massacre everyone trapped inside.
Time was pressing, so the two immediately rushed back to the dungeon to save people. The Diyuan people directly attacked the Huo family dungeon, giving Zhou Fei and Xie Yun the opportunity to save people. Although they encountered a small group of Diyuan disciples, thanks to the guidance of an old man in the prison, Zhou Fei easily killed the enemies with her saber. The two successfully rescued Chen Fei and others and then encountered the Vermilion Bird disciples.
The old man's repeated reminders and guidance allowed Xie Yun to realize that this senior with immortal bearing before him was none other than Chongxia ozi of the Qi Sect. Although they had defeated the Vermilion Bird disciples for now, the saber Li Jinrong had given to Zhou Fei broke again, which inevitably made her feel sad. However, this emotion was instantly suppressed in the midst of the crisis.
Zhou Fei's mind was in disarray, and in a moment of carelessness, she didn't even notice her handkerchief falling. Instead, Xie Yun secretly hid it by his side. - - - At this moment, Shen Tianshu had not yet found the location of the Shendu Seal and the Water Ripple pattern. Instead, he heard a mournful singing voice. Following the tune of "Crying Makeup", an androgynous man in red, heavily made up and wearing blood-red clothes, appeared.
This was the person Xie Yun had instructed Zhou Fei to avoid, the Vermilion Bird Master Mu Xiaoqiao. Shen Tianshu and Mu Xiaoqiao exchanged several moves. The latter seemed to temporarily suppress his opponent, but unfortunately, he lacked stamina. Shen Tianshu struck with a bare hand, shattering Mu Xiaoqiao's protective Pipa, severely injuring him and causing him to fall to the ground, unable to get up.
If Tong Tianyang had not come to inform him that the dungeon's lamp oil fuse had been lit, it is likely that Mu Xiaoqiao would have died at Shen Tianshu's hands today. The Huojiabao dungeon was detonated. Shen Tianshu and Xie Yun and others left from different directions. But danger had not left Zhou Fei and the others. Mu Xiaoqiao's singing voice was heard again. Xie Yun wanted to delay the opponent alone to buy time for everyone to escape.
After this incident, Chen Fei finally no longer held any grudge against Xie Yun. The safety of Wu's family members was of utmost importance. However, Zhou Fei could not let Xie Yun take risks alone for the matters of the Forty-Eight Strongholds. At the moment, only the two of them could hold up Mu Xiaoqiao, and then Chongxia ozi and Chen Fei would escort Wu Chuchu and others to a safe place.
Just as the two were joking with each other, they ran into the severely injured Mu Xiaoqiao coming towards them. Xie Yun originally wanted to use the excuse of not letting the Diyuan people benefit from a mutual defeat to dispel the opponent's hostility. Unfortunately, to Mu Xiaoqiao, dealing with them was as simple as stepping on two ants; there was no talk of both sides suffering losses.
Zhou Fei slowly placed her hand on the hilt of the broken saber, just as tensions were about to rise with Mu Xiaoqiao. Xie Yun once again thought quickly on his feet and successfully interrupted the tense atmosphere by pointing out a lyrical error in "Crying Makeup".
Mu Xiaoqiao had sung "故园有风霜" ( - The old garden has wind and frost), but Xie Yun explained it should be "故园又风霜" (Gù yuán yòu fēng shuāng - The old garden again has wind and frost). The difference of one character between " yǒu" and " yòu" created a vastly different meaning. Mu Xiaoqiao actually put down his hostility and began discussing lyrics and tunes with him.
