Lost in The Kunlun Mountains Episode 34 Recap
> Lost in The Kunlun Mountains Recap
Tian Long and his subordinate meticulously observed the area, with Tian Long cautioning his men to be discreet, as Ding Yunqi was known for his cunning. He identified their location as "Bawang Xiejia," a significant place. Tian Long decided against an immediate move, preferring to wait for Ding Yunqi's group to find the entrance.
He believed he needed a "borrowed east wind," a breakthrough from within Ding Yunqi’s associates, as Wu Shuang, though a possibility, was too devoted to Ding Yunqi to be swayed. Meanwhile, Luo Yunsong, speaking to a group including Sun Sanxuan, acknowledged that Ding Yunqi had only shared parts of his plan to lure out Tian Long. Someone in the group mentioned their suspicion that Tian Long was a member of the Penta-sect, renowned for his skill with hidden weapons.
Luo Yunsong proposed setting up a strategic trap for him. He also revealed that someone had tampered with their car, indicating Tian Long was already trailing them. Luo Yunsong instructed everyone to maintain their facade and proceed with the plan. At their encampment, He Biao called Chu Fengling for a meal. Later, he was seen hammering her shoes to make them more comfortable.
Touched by his consistent kindness, Chu Fengling thanked him and then offered him a drink of water, which he accepted without suspicion. He Biao eventually succumbed to the drug, realizing Chu Fengling had poisoned him just before he lost consciousness. Seizing the opportunity, Chu Fengling retrieved a hidden radio from the woods and sent a telegram to Her Ladyship. She received a return message instructing her to await a further reply at 8 PM.
As Chu Fengling waited, Tian Long appeared, asking if she had received the answer she desired. Chu Fengling remarked on his delayed arrival, stating that she knew Ding Yunqi and Luo Yunsong would offer him no quarter, and only she could provide the opportunity he sought. Tian Long, acknowledging her insight, questioned her willingness to cooperate with her father's killer. Chu Fengling explained that she, like him, had no other choice.
She clarified her sincerity, stating that if Ding Yunqi discovered the Kunlun Mountains, he would never surrender it to Her Ladyship, thus preventing her from completing her mission. She believed Tian Long understood this as well, and that the power he sought was inconsequential to Her Ladyship, forming a basis for their alliance.
Tian Long doubted her value, but Chu Fengling countered by invoking Her Ladyship as her formidable backing and the proverb "a man is innocent, but if he has a gem, he will be guilty," implying that Tian Long's vast wealth required protection, making her an asset. She further revealed her recent telegram to Her Ladyship and, as her most crucial bargaining chip, highlighted Ding Yunqi, Luo Yunsong, and Wu Shuang's affection for her.
Tian Long expressed growing admiration for her astute manipulation. Chu Fengling elaborated that they would never abandon her, allowing her to acquire vital intelligence. She then disclosed critical information: Ding Yunqi had dispatched his servant San Jin, escorted by members of the Gold Touching Sect, before dawn for an urgent message.
Furthermore, Ding Yunqi, Wu Shuang, her brother, and Sun Sanxuan had ventured into the mountains early and not yet returned, leading her to deduce that Ding Yunqi had likely discovered the Kunlun Mountains, a detail she had already relayed to Her Ladyship. Suddenly, a signal flare, fired by a partially conscious He Biao, illuminated the sky from the direction of their old encampment.
Luo Yunsong's group noticed it but, adhering to Ding Yunqi's plan, ignored the distraction and proceeded to their destination. At the encampment, a weakened He Biao managed to retrieve a gun and confronted Tian Long and Chu Fengling. He opened fire, but Tian Long swiftly used Chu Fengling as a human shield. Tian Long overpowered He Biao and prepared to kill him. Chu Fengling pleaded for He Biao's life, describing him as her brother's insignificant subordinate.
Tian Long cruelly suggested that his insignificance made his death inconsequential. He Biao, defiant, declared his willingness to sacrifice his life for Fengling. Tian Long then forced Chu Fengling to plunge a dagger into He Biao, stating it would prove her loyalty. Just as Tian Long forcibly guided her hand, Ding Yunqi and Wu Shuang arrived, alerted by the flare. They intervened, and Ding Yunqi lured Tian Long away into their pre-laid trap.
Tian Long entered the trap, but his formidable skills allowed him to navigate its dangers. As he attempted to escape, Wu Shuang deftly used her chain to tear off his mask, revealing his true identity: Zhou Qiuhai. The group was stunned, having believed Zhou Qiuhai to be dead after having seen his body and attended his funeral. Taking advantage of their shock, Zhou Qiuhai made his escape.
Returning to the encampment, Luo Yunsong's group discovered He Biao gravely wounded and bleeding profusely. Chu Fengling frantically tried to stem the flow, but to no avail. Ding Yunqi performed an emergency surgery, explaining that due to severe blood loss and limited medical resources, He Biao's survival was uncertain, and even if he pulled through, his legs would be permanently crippled. He Biao, barely conscious, told Chu Fengling not to blame herself and to "turn back."
Chu Fengling, in tears, questioned why he had saved her despite knowing she had drugged him, claiming she could no longer "turn back." Luo Yunsong, furious at Chu Fengling's betrayal and He Biao's critical state, confronted her. Chu Fengling confessed to drugging He Biao, sending the telegram to Her Ladyship from the old encampment, and meeting Tian Long to form an alliance. She tearfully accused the others of isolating her.
Luo Yunsong dragged Chu Fengling to He Biao's bedside, demanding she wake him up and see the ruin she had wrought. Despite her grief over He Biao's condition, Chu Fengling remained resolute in her ambition. Later, she secretly used her radio again, receiving a message from Her Ladyship: stabilize Ding Yunqi, protect herself, and await the arrival of the army in three days. Meanwhile, Wu Shuang was heartbroken by the revelation of Zhou Qiuhai's true identity.
Ding Yunqi found her after completing He Biao's surgery and offered comfort, reminding her that Zhou Qiuhai was now Tian Long, no longer her beloved master. Wu Shuang expressed her profound sense of betrayal, feeling as though her entire life had been a lie. Ding Yunqi assured her that while she couldn't choose her past, she could shape her future, promising to stand by her side.
Chu Fengling later confronted Ding Yunqi alone, insisting on privacy as the others were merely her "bargaining chips," and her words would deeply wound them. She revealed Her Ladyship's demand for the Kunlun Mountains and their precise location, warning that Her Ladyship's army would arrive in three days, and if Ding Yunqi refused to cooperate, everyone would perish. Ding Yunqi questioned the morality of sacrificing his companions for Her Ladyship's favor.
Chu Fengling argued that cooperation would spare everyone and lauded Her Ladyship's power, dismissing Ding Yunqi's warnings about the fleeting nature of power gained through treachery. Ding Yunqi denounced her descent into ruthlessness, comparing her justification of immoral acts to historical tyrants. Chu Fengling defiantly told him to save her if he thought her degenerate, accusing him and the others of isolating and monitoring her.
Ding Yunqi cautioned her that Her Ladyship would always keep her in the shadows, never allowing her to step into the light. Chu Fengling, weary of his "lectures," declared she would not regret or turn back. She then directly challenged Ding Yunqi, asking if he was willing to sacrifice Wu Shuang, Luo Yunsong, Sun Sanxuan, the Gold Touching Sect, and the Black Feather Team for his cause. Ding Yunqi steadfastly refused to compromise.
Luo Yunsong, having overheard their entire exchange, expressed profound disappointment. He admitted his own fault in allowing Chu Fengling to stray, blaming himself for He Biao's injury and putting everyone in peril. Chu Fengling taunted him, asking him to kill her, his "personally raised sister," now that he had a "righteous and kind-hearted new sister" in Wu Shuang. Luo Yunsong sternly told her not to involve Wu Shuang.
Chu Fengling then urged him to persuade Ding Yunqi, stating that everyone's lives, including theirs, hung in the balance. Luo Yunsong condemned her as shameless for using their lives as leverage. Chu Fengling, however, believed he would eventually be grateful and attempted to enlist him, promising him a high official position and herself as Her Ladyship's right-hand woman, allowing them to escape their past hardships.
Luo Yunsong vehemently rejected this, declaring he had no use for power gained by betraying loved ones. He revealed his past aspirations were for revenge and to protect her, but now those efforts seemed misguided. He concluded he had been wrong to indulge her and would no longer allow her destructive path. Luo Yunsong then confined Chu Fengling to her tent, forbidding her from leaving without his explicit permission.
Afterward, Luo Yunsong approached Ding Yunqi, again acknowledging he had overheard everything. Ding Yunqi conceded that Chu Fengling was right; he had no choice but to prioritize everyone's lives over his own convictions. Sun Sanxuan vehemently objected to leaving, asserting his duty to avenge his master, Shou Wujiang. Luo Yunsong agreed that the Black Feather Team, having no direct involvement, should be allowed to depart.
However, he declared that the Gold Touching Sect members would decide their own fate, calling it "freedom and democracy." Ding Yunqi confirmed that their adversary was indeed Zhou Qiuhai, whose martial arts were formidable. However, Ding Yunqi reasoned that since they understood Zhou Qiuhai well, their existing plan to use the trap might still be effective. Given Chu Fengling's unexpected telegram to Her Ladyship, Ding Yunqi concluded they had no more than three days to eliminate Zhou Qiuhai and then make their escape.
