Introduction
In the twilight years of the Warring States Era, it was a turbulent world and there seemed to be endless wars. The six states that are located in the east are constantly being assaulted by the powerful Qin, and the once-peaceful and idyllic East Baiyue is not an exception. The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, appoints envoys to meet Lan Xiong, the Chieftain of the East Baiyue, in an attempt to subdue the clan.
It was said in the ancient times that the wars between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor had never stopped, and the human race would forever be entangled in imbroglios with the gods. The adventures of these protagonists has just begun in this world mingled with wars, legends, and deep kinships…
Chapter OneAt the home of the wizard Chi Huan, Cloud Rose Village.
Having failed to meet Lan Xiong, the Qin envoys are pressuring Chi Huan to submit to them. For his part Chi Huan rebuffs them with the excuse that his chieftain, Lan Xiong, is absent. At this time, Lan Wei returns home. The Qin generals think that Lan Wei is merely a weak little girl but are wary of Liang Hu who intervenes to protect Lan Wei. They decide to take their leave.
"Must our peace always be so short-lived? It seems war is inevitable” , says Chi Huan, his face laden with worry. A newborn calf fears not the tiger. Lan Wei wants to fight the Qin. Chi Huan calms her and suggests she go back to have a rest since it is dark outside. Lan Wei encounters Yin Cheng as she steps out of the door. Yin Cheng says that he has come just to let her know he is setting off for the Central Plains. Lan Wei asks him to bring her back some nice things from the Central Plains.
From now on Lan Wei can move at will to familiarize herself with the operation of the game before the memorial ceremony for Chi You, the God of War, which will be held in two days. To make it clear, in the following part of the walkthrough for the game, we will illustrate the primary tasks that will affect the development of the plots, and the branch tasks respectively. There will be more than one way to finish the game in both primary tasks and the branch tasks. Normally we will choose only one way to complete it and not emphasize any other ways in particular. Besides, please note that some minor tasks are not listed in the Task List, so gamers should take notice of their dialogues with the NPCs. Before going to bed, Lan Wei can idle about since during this period there are no primary tasks.
Branch 1: Lan Wei meets Ah Dan at the gate of the tavern. He is busy looking for the money from Chi Huan for the tiger-bone wine. He lost it when catching the bugs. Then Lan Wei promises him that she will help get the tiger-bone wine from the innkeeper.
Branch 2: Lan Wei tells the innkeeper about Ah Dan losing the money and afterwards decides to head for Luoxia Valley to find some pieces of snake meat for the tiger-bone wine. After killing the snakes in Luoxia Valley Lan Wei will get the meat randomly. Giving the meat to the innkeeper she gets the tiger-bone wine in return. If she gives the meat to Ah Dan she will get 100 Experience points. In addition, snake meat can help enrich the blood, so gamers had better hunt more for storage, in preparation for later battles.
Branch 3: Speaking to Brother Huo, Lan Wei learns about the Monkey wine. Then she goes to Luoxia Valley, in the middle of which there is an escarpment, and there are 3 monkeys there. Of the 3 choices, gamers should choose the option saying "Pick up some stones and throw them at the monkeys.”, then the monkeys will return the attack, as you did, using Monkey fruits. In this way Lan Wei gets 4 Monkey fruits (the first one is for Xiao Miao at the gate of the tavern). Lan Wei takes the fruit to Chef Yao at the tavern, who later promises Lan Wei some Monkey wine( but Lan Wei is to get the wine the next day).
Branch 4: Having got the Monkey fruit, talk to Xiao Miao at the gate of the tavern before entering. He will ask Lan Wei for a Monkey fruit. Give him one and he will tell you that he learnt from Ah Wa something about the tree cavity in the Anthropophagous Jungle. (Please note here that once you talk to Chef Yao, all the Monkey fruit will be handed to him, consequently this plot will not occur). The tree cavity is at the top right of the Anthropophagous Jungle, and from the cavity some Fragrant Fruit can be found (this fruit can be used in the Chengdu branch task) .
Branch 5: Idling about in Cloud Rose Village, Lan Wei encounters a young lad, who looks like he is from the Central Plains, who, after enquiry, she discovers is called Wu Xiong. He is here to deliver Flower Wine to Old Man Qiu. Lan Wei had long been craving the treasures of Old Man Qiu, so she agrees to deliver the wine for Wu Xiong. Old Man Qiu now is not at home, so Lan Wei must go the next day.
Branch 6: In the house of Bai Yue, Lan Wei"s close friend, Granny Yue, requests Lan Wei to find some pine wood for her. She can look for the wood in the suburbs if there isn"t any downtown. Click on the trees and the wood will drop from them randomly. You can find it if you try. Then hand the wood to Granny Yue.
Branch 7: Lan Wei encounters Ah Sheng, the hunter who once borrowed from Lan Wei the old armlet of Lan Xiong (the Chieftain), to use while hunting. Go to the bedchamber of Lan Xiong, find the armlet and hand it to Ah Sheng, but please remember to get it back the next day.
Branch 8: Lan Wei speaks to Uncle He. He asks her to get him some snakeskin to cover his crabstick. Go and get him some snakeskin from Luoxia Valley.
Branch 9: Lan Wei speaks to Tie Sheng in Luoxia Valley, learning the snakes are very dangerous and it is better to be well prepared. There is some antidote to snakebites and flower poison in the box in Chi Huan"s room. Give the antidote for snakebites to Tie Sheng and he will tell Lan Wei something about the wild animals.
Having helped so many people one after another, Lan Wei feels quite tired now and goes back to her room for a rest. ( Please note that once Lan Wei goes back for a rest, the first day is finished, and the 9 branch tasks above will be missed if not completed yet. There is not to be any chance of completing them again. It will be the same for the next day.)
During the night, Lan Xiong who has just returned goes to Chi Huan"s, telling him that Ying Zheng (the King of Qin) dispatched envoys to force a capitulation. Lan Xiong also expresses the determination that East Baiyue will struggle to the last man even if Qin can some day unify the Central Plains. He can recollect clearly the happenings of 15 years ago…
Time goes back 15 years.
Hong Wei, Lan Xiong"s wife, advises him to take an early rest, for he"s been tired out since West Baiyue was invaded by Qin. Their little daughter is 3 years old, and Lan Xiong really needs to give her a name. Suddenly a villager rushes in and reports that a Qin force is attacking and Lan Ying ( Lan Xiong"s son) is fighting back alone. The couple immediately set off to support their son. Getting out of the village from the right side, they meet Chi Huan. Now gamers can control these 3 characters, who are of very high levels ( level 20) , so the Qin soldiers are not a match for them at all. Gamers can take this chance to experience some superior magic and have an idea of how different roles upgrade their levels according to the Character Parameters.
By the side of the village, Lan Ying is being viciously attacked by the Qin soldiers and is seriously injured. After warning his parents off quickly, Lan Ying destroys part of the Qin force through magic but at the expense of losing his own life. Distraught at the loss of their son, the couple struggle desperately, however, Hong Wei is killed in the fierce battle. At this moment of truth, the Summon Fiend appears from the rear of the Qin force, annihilating all of them. It turns out to be Yan Peng who extended this timely help. He is the younger brother of Yan Bo, the Chieftain of West Baiyue. Lan Xiong is astonished to see him for he thought Yan Peng had already been killed! But he later learns everything from Yan Peng. Yan Peng once offended the Clan Rules and was going to be sentenced to death, but his brother, the Chieftain of West Baiyue, didn"t have the heart to kill him, so he secretly set Yan Peng free. From then on, Yan Peng led a wandering life. One day he received news that the Qin were attacking West Baiyue. He decided to set out and help, but at last, however hard he tried, Yan Peng was only able to rescue his nephew, Yan Hong. Unwilling to have Yan Hong lead a life of vagrancy and suffering with him, Yan Peng entrusted the child to Lan Xiong. Lan Xiong vowed revenge on their persecutors, and named his daughter Lan Wei, after his wife, Hong Wei.
Stepping into the past can only give you agony. Chi Huan tries to take Lan Xiong"s mind away from the tragic memory and advises him to entrust some of the affairs of the clan to Lan Wei, as it will be good experience for her. Lan Xiong agrees.
Chapter TwoA new day breaks. Lan Wei gets up from her bed. She decides to go and practice some new magic with Ah Wa. Knowing this, Ah Wa is intending to escape, because he clearly understands the risks of being Lan Wei"s trial horse. Unfortunately he is stricken by Lan Wei"s magic, lying flat on the ground. At first Lan Wei thinks he is just pretending, but later she realizes she is wrong. Yes, she used the wrong magic. Then Lan Wei hurries to Chi Huan"s for help. At Chi Huan"s home she meets her father. "I am going to be blamed”, she says to herself. However, totally to her surprise, her father doesn"t reproach her at all, only telling her to save Ah Wa first. Chi Huan tells Lan Wei to kill the Great Snake in the cavern of Luoxia Valley, and the gallbladder of the snake will be just the remedy for Ah Wa"s injury. Just stepping out of the door, Lan Wei meets Liang Hu, who has just carried Ah Wa home. On Lan Wei"s request, Liang Hu goes to Luoxia Valley with her. They find a cavern inside the valley. The Great Snake is in there. Luckily it is not as tricky as expected and it moves very slowly, so it is easily killed. At the same time as Lan Wei and Liang Hu get the snake gallbladder, Yan Hong goes back to Cloud Rose Village, seeming to carry the burdens of the world on his shoulders he doesn"t even notice the greetings from the villagers. He goes straight to Lan Xiong. Yan Hong tells Lan Xiong that things have been proceeding smoothly. Lan Xiong advises him to have an early rest for the sacrificial rites for the God of War would take place the next day. Lan Wei goes back to the village, handing the snake gallbladder to Chi Huan. Ah Wa is saved. Then Lan Wei goes home to see her father. Lan Xiong doesn"t blame her at all, instead, he tells Lan Wei to assist him in the general affairs of the clan from now on. He also asks Lan Wei to rest earlier for there is a memorial ceremony for the God of War the next day. For centuries, the Baiyue people had been supporting Chi You , the God of War, in his battle with the Yellow Emperor, so in their minds Chi You was an idol. But in the end Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, so the Baiyue people had to move back to the south. Nobody had met Chi You after his defeat. But the Qin had long been coveting the land of Baiyue, so wars were inevitable.
Branch 1: Speak to Xiao Miao in the village and he will ask you for some candy. Give him some.
Branch 2: Find Ah Sheng and get back the armet you lent him yesterday.
Branch 3: Go to Old Man Qiu"s home and give him the flower wine. You will be awarded equipment or experience points. The awards are different according to your different choices in the talk.
Branch 4: Find Chef Yao in the tavern and get the Monkey wine from him.
Branch 5: Find Uncle He, and you will see his crabstick is broken. There have been some arguments between Craftsman Da and him, so Uncle He feels embarrassed to reach out to him for help. Lan Wei agrees to help ask Craftsman Da for help and take the initiative to be the conciliator.
Branch 6: Go to Bai Yue"s home and you will meet Granny Yue. She will tell you Bai Yue is not in. She"s been out in the mountains searching for white camellia. Thinking Bai Yue doesn"t know anything about magic so it would be risky for her if she meets any danger, Lan Wei decides to go and look for her. After having a word with Ah Dan at the gate, she knows Bai Yue is near a very old tree in the middle of the Mantrap Wood
. Having successfully helped out Bai Yue who has been caught by the anthropophagous flower, Lan Wei sends her back to Cloud Rose Village. On the way they meet Yan Hong, who is also coming to help. Originally Lan Wei was thinking it was for Yan Hong that Baiyue had risked her life to pick the white camellia alone in the wilderness. She felt unhappy about that. But later Lan Wei found out it was for her parents who had already passed away.
Branch 7: In Mantrap Wood
Lan Wei meets Tian Sheng. He tells Lan Wei to be careful for the flower is quite poisonous. Handing the antidote for the flower poison in Chi Huan"s room to Tie Sheng, Lan Wei learns something from him about the wild monsters.
Having been so engrossed in various tasks, Lan Wei was really tired and today she gets up very late. She runs to the temple hurriedly and stands on the right side of Chi Huan. The sacrificial ceremony begins. While every villager is praying reverently, suddenly some weird green fire appears on the Chieftain, Lan Xiong, after which, he falls to the ground, dead. After Lan Xiong"s death, Chi Huan tries to persuade Lan Wei to succeed her father in the position of Chieftain in order that the whole clan of Baiyue could be united in the war against the powerful Qin, but Lan Wei refuses. She feels she is not yet eligible for that position. At the graveyard, Lan Wei is too distraught over her father"s sudden death and faints. Luckily she is found by Yan Hong and carried back home. Then she falls very seriously ill. Seven days later she comes to her father"s tomb again to sacrifice offerings. There she meets Yan Hong. Yan Hong says when he was a small boy, he heard that if the five pieces of the Empyrean Stone could be pieced together the complete stone could resurrect the dead, and he was firmly convinced of this. Hearing this, Lan Wei is so glad and hopeful that she can find the five pieces of the Empyrean Stone. Uncle Chi Huan is the most knowledgeable man inside the clan so Lan Wei wants to hear what he thinks. Whether Chi Huan doesn"t know anything about the Empyrean Stones at all or he is just keeping it from her intentionally, Lan Wei doesn"t know. However, Uncle Chi Huan simply tells her not to be distracted by anything and make good preparations to be the new chieftain. Lan Wei certainly won"t give up. She leaves to ask Yin Cheng about the Empyrean Stones. Yin Cheng also believes that the Empyrean Stones exist, saying years ago when West Baiyue was invaded by the Qin, Yan Bo, the Chieftain, had one of his soldiers send one of the Empyrean Stones to Lan Xiong for safe keeping. Then he advises Lan Wei to check her father"s belongings. Lan Wei finds a key from the bookshelf in her father"s bedchamber. With the key she opens the case near the shelf. There is a small joss inside the case, which is so similar to the one in the sacrificial hall. To find it out, she runs to the sacrificial hall, puts the small joss into the hole on the right side of the statue of the God of War and then she finds a piece of stone drop from the credence. Lan Wei, together with some other people in the clan find that piece of stone is quite similar to the trace on the stone gate of the Spider Cave, which was in the northwest of the Mantrap Wood
. So together with Liang Hu, Lan Wei goes to the cave. They successfully open the stone gate and get the first piece of the Empyrean Stone. Liang Hu is very surprised to see the stone, saying he had once seen a similar stone in his hometown in the Central Plains when he was a boy. So Lan Wei decides to try her luck in Liang Hu"s hometown. Please take care because two very poisonous spiders will appear in the cave when you are completing this task. Back in Cloud Rose Village, Lan Wei hears that her beloved uncle, Chi Huan, has died. He was bitten by poisonous bugs. Ah Dan used to catch bugs for Chi Huan, and he says this kind of bug actually is very difficult to find, so there must have been somebody who murdered Chi Huan. Linking this to Ying Zheng"s dispatching envoys to induce a capitulation, and the mysterious death of Lan Xiong, everyone feels suspicious. Lan Wei is firmly determined to find the other four pieces of the Empyrean Stone for her beloved father, and uncle Chi Huan.
Out of Cloud Rose Village all the way to the north it is Heaven's Summit，and forward it is Ancient Path. When Lan Wei asked Liang Hu why he had chosen to come to Baiyue, scenes of betting with his friend when he was young, began to occur to his mind. They bet that the loser should jump off the cliff if either of them was defeated in the martial arts competitions. Liang Hu lost the bet, but luckily for him, he was caught up in a tree halfway down the cliff. Afterwards, he wandered alone to Baiyue. Now Lan Wei and Liang Hu are on Ancient Path. Here they meet Cai Xin, from whom they learn that a Qin force was attacking Giant Keep Village and Cai Xin herself was then going to Cloud Rose Village for help. Then Lan Wei and others hurry to Giant Keep Village and kill the Qin invaders( the follow-up plots won"t occur unless the Qin force is annihilated completely). Then they meet the head of Giant Keep Village, who later shows his great gratitude to Cai Xin. Cai Xin"s father was a Qin man, so villagers had been treating her harshly. But in this time of emergency Cai Xin risked her life to seek reinforcements and everyone feels grateful. They also feel surprised at the timely help from Lan Wei and her companions. Lan Wei tells the village head that her father and Uncle Chi Huan were dead, and she was here now in search of the Empyrean Stones. The village head replies that they once had one of the Empyrean Stones, but unfortunately it had just been stolen by the Qin soldiers. He also heard that the stone was going to be sent to Huan Qi, a Qin general in Jiuyuan City. Huan Qi? That is Cai Xin"s father"s name! Not wanting to miss the opportunity to find out if this is her father, Cai Xin joins Lan Wei in heading for Jiuyuan City. Before going, Cai Xin goes to her mother"s grave to part with her, telling her mother that she is going to look for father in the Central Plains.
Branch 8: At the altar in Giant Keep Village, Lan Wei meets the wizard, who tells her that the Vessel of War has gone missing, and he suspects Lin Fen, saying Lin Fen might be embittered about her title of witch being removed and she was just retaliating. At the mountain at the back of Giant Keep Village they meet Lin Fen, who is sacrificing with the Vessel of War. Then there is a fierce fight. Lin Fen is defeated, but she says Lan Wei is facing big trouble. There used to be many giants sealed in the cavern in the mountain, and it was required that there be a sacrificial ceremony every three years to ensure the giants won"t break the seal. Today was the time for another sacrificial ceremony，but the newly appointed wizard forgot all about it. So Lin Fen stole the Vessel of War and sacrificed here. Now that the magic was interrupted the giants would soon be breaking out of the cavern. Lin Fen asks Lan Wei and her followers to ask for help from the village and leave her here to fight against the giants. After killing one giant, everyone leaves Lin Fen alone there and hurries to the village to give the alarm. In the village, the wizard tells them that Lin Fen would probably sacrifice herself to seal the giants, so once again people follow Lan Wei back to the mountain to give a hand. But they are too late. The giants are sealed successfully but Lin Fen has lost her life. At her last gasp, Lin Fen asks Lan Wei to send word to the villagers that the giants should be sealed every three years. Lan Wei goes back to the village with the Vessel of War. People all feel regretful that they had misunderstood Lin Fen and they decide to sacrifice on time every three years.
Branch 9: Near a house already burnt to the ground sits a villager, staring blankly forward. He says his diamond and crystal jade had been inside the house and it must have been burnt already. Lan Wei tells him that crystal jade couldn"t be burnt according to the five-element theory. Stepping into the room, as expected, they really find the crystal jade（to find the crystal jade the team is required to be level seven or above）.
Chapter ThreeOut of Giant Keep Village it is Ancient Path, and all the way to the west it is Red Clay Village. It is Qin territory. There are three villagers on guard at the side of the village. They stop Lan Wei and her companions from passing. They try every possible way to persuade the villagers and at last they are permitted to get across. But they could only have a short stay.
Most of the villagers are not friendly to Lan Wei and other Baiyue people. They seem to be afraid of them. While Lan Wei herself doesn"t plan to stay here long, she prepares to go up to Wuxian County from the exit on the right side. At the side of the village they meet a boy called Little Stone. The boy begins to chat with them confidently. To prove himself clever, the boy offers a riddle, while Yan Hong pretends not to be able to answer, just to delight him. After talking to the boy, they leave Redclay Village. Suddenly they hear someone crying for help, so Lan Wei and her followers hurry back to the village, only to find some gangsters there. The gangsters have killed Little Stone，the boy who was calling for help. In a violent rage, Yan Hong kills the gangsters. The villagers become friendly to Lan Wei"s group for they have helped them wipe out the gangsters. So now they could rove around in the village and talk freely with the villagers (the branch task will not be finished unless this plot is completed).
Branch 1: The group comes to the tavern. Yan Hong asks for some wine, but unfortunately the wine is sold out. The shopkeeper advises them to go to Wang Er"s, for all the wine in his shop is provided by Wang Er. Meeting Wang Er, you will be told that his wine is always being stolen mysteriously in recent days. It turns out to be the bats in the storehouse. It is them who drink the wine. Killing the bats, you will be rewarded with some wine by Wang Er, and you will also be rewarded with some gold if you kill the bats in the loft of the tavern.
Branch 2: Talking to the villager in the north, you see he lost the axe when cutting firewood. Go to entrance to the village, find the axe on the tree and hand it to the villager. The tree is on the left side of the entrance.
Branch 3: Talking to the hunter, you see the black bears were becoming too cunning to be caught recently. To find that out, you go to the jungle to the right side of the village entrance, but on the way on two occasions you fall into the trap. Then the black bear appears. This is a very strange bear because he can even talk. He says he is a clever bear, and complains that Lan Wei has destroyed his traps which are actually set for the hunters. Choices will appear during your talk with the bear, from which please choose "However, you can save me a lot of trouble by volunteering to give me your fur. I must use it to make a dress, you see”, then you can get three pieces of skin from the bear.
Branch 4: Go to the north of the village you will meet a child, looking rather scared. Liang Hu judges intuitively that something bad must have happened. Taking the child with them to Whitesand Valley, they find the Qin soldiers, as expected. After killing the Qin soldiers they find a man lying dead in the corner of the courtyard. He seems to be the child"s father. In the hand of the man, there is a piece of red jade. Show the jade to the child and he will lead you back to Redclay Village. After a talk with the child in the village, he will give the jade to you.
Branch 5: Completing Branch 4, now you have got the red jade. Go to Whitesand Valley to meet a man called Jiang Tuo, from whom you will know the red jade is the legendary Blood Jade, which can be used for avoiding evil (better complete these branch tasks, and Jiang Tuo will appear again in many of the following branch tasks).
Branch 6: Leaving Redclay Village again all the way to the east, you will see a scholar lying on the ground at his last gasp, a parcel in his arms. Talking with him, Lan Wei finds out his name is Li Yi. A bunch of gangsters were chasing him just for his parcel. Then the gangsters appear, and Lan Wei, together with her companions wipe them out. Then Lan Wei tells Li Yi that it is not wise to risk his life just for a parcel. Li Yi tells her that it is actually the money he earned with his sworn brother, Wang Ren. He is going to send the money to Jiuyuan City. Deeply moved by Li Yi"s honesty, Lan Wei makes up her mind to help him send the money. Then Li Yi closes his eyes and passes away.
Lan Wei"s group leaves Redclay Village for Wuxian County. On the way they meet a very strange old man. After a talk with him they find out he is Cheng Yu. He tells the group that he is also interested in the Empyrean Stones and he has got some books on the Empyrean Stones at his home in Jin Yang City. Cheng Yu invites them to his home to take a look at the books. Lan Wei readily agrees.
No sooner have they reached Wuxian County than the group meets a young lad who is being chased by a gang of Qin soldiers. From talking with him they discover he is called Jing Jun. He is going to send a message. The Qin soldiers didn"t kill Jing Jun before simply because they want to see who he is going to send the message to. Lan Wei"s group just appeared then, so the Qin soldiers assumed that they were the addressees. After killing the Qin soldiers, in the talk with Jing Jun they find out he is Jing Ke"s younger brother. Now he is severely injured. On his deathbed Jing Jun asks Lan Wei to send the letter to Gai Nie who is in Yuci, telling Gai Nie to assist Jing Ke in his attempt to assassinate Ying Zheng, the King of Qin. Lan Wei agrees to help.
Branch 7: It is getting dark when they arrive in Wuxian County, so Lan Wei decides to start off the next day. After a talk with a young man in the village they decide to put up for the night in Yang Jie"s house. Yang Jie says that a thief called Han Xing has been coveting his jewelry, and he is going to steal it tonight. Lan Wei agrees to help watch over it. However, nothing happens. Nobody comes to steal the jewelry. On the following morning, Lan Wei is told by Yang Jie that he has passed the jewelry to his younger brother, Yang Qiang for safekeeping. Lan Wei and her companions then hurry to Yang Qiang"s house, only to find he has been beaten up and the Rainbow Jade has been stolen. Then they go back to tell Yang Jie about this. In a flash, Yang Jie realizes that the servant in his house is really Han Xing in disguise. Luckily his brother is safe, so Yang Jie decides not to follow it up. While Lan Wei feels very resentful, thinking once she has the chance, she will teach him a lesson.
Leaving Wuxian County and passing Blackwind Woods, they reachYuci, where they encounter Yin Cheng. Lan Wei tells Yin Cheng what has happened concerning Cheng Yu, but Yin Cheng reminds her to beware of trickery. Originally Lan Wei thought it would be very easy to deliver Gai Nie a message, but later she finds it is very difficult to find him in Yuci. She turns to the people in the town for help, but thinking Lan Wei is from Baiyue, they become skeptical and refuse to tell her anything. Later they find an old man. He is blind so he can"t recognize they are from Baiyue. From the old man Lan Wei finds out there is a man named Shuang Yang by the side of the river in the north of the town. Meeting Shuang Yang in the north of the town, Cai Xin recognizes him at the very first sight. He is Gai Nie. Then they convey Jing Jun"s message to him. But to their surprise, Gai Nie won"t leave Yuci, because he wants to take care of his pregnant wife. Leaving Gai Nie"s house, they hear Gai Nie and his wife quarreling. Gai Nie"s wife is a woman who understands clearly what is important and what is not, and she thinks Gai Nie should go to help Jing Ke instead of looking after her at home.
It is getting dark again, and the group go to a small inn to put up for the night. During the night Lan Wei gets up while everyone else is asleep and tries to practice magic, but she is found by Yan Hong. Actually Lan Wei takes it to heart very much that Yan Hong got wounded when protecting her, and she simply wants to become more powerful. When she is talking with Yan Hong, Liang Hu and Cai Xin appear, telling them that the Qin soldiers have surrounded Gai Nie"s house and they are pressuring Gai Nie to surrender or else they will kill his wife. Unwilling to get her husband into trouble, Gai Nie"s wife kills herself. Afterwards Lan Wei and her group annihilate the Qin soldiers. In the great grief of losing his wife, Gai Nie is thinking of suicide. Everyone tries every possible means to dissuade him and in the end Gai Nie makes a decision to help Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin, to avenge his dead wife and Jing Jun. Learning that Lan Wei"s group is going to Jiuyuan City, Gai Nie decides to join them.
Branch 8: There is Tiger Fish cave at the village side of Yuci. From a dealer named Xu Wen near the Tiger Fish cave they find out the Tiger Fish in the cave are very poisonous and they have to buy some antidote from the dealer. The antidotes of Xu Wen are of two kinds. One costs 50 gold while the other 1000 gold. The one costing 50 gold is the authentic antidote while the other is fake, but only buying the fake antidote can trigger the following plots (those who buy the expensive antidote are wealthy, and thus swindlers will think they can cheat them). Then buy the fake antidote, enter the cavern and you will find it ineffective. Now you will try to leave the cavern from the left side, where you will meet Xu Wen, who is thinking the guys who take the fake antidote now are already killed and he is going inside to fetch the money. In a fury, Lan Wei beats Xu Wen up ferociously and at last she gets the real antidote from him.
Branch 9: This task won"t appear until branch 8 is finished. There is a worn-out chest under the tree in the village, rather breakable. Now a man named Xu Wu appears. He insists that as Lan Wei has broken the offering he made for the God of the Mountain he must have compensation (please don"t pay it). After a long negotiation Lan Wei decides to fetch him the spare offering kept in the northern room of the tavern. Entering that room Lan Wei finds a pot, which is so broken that it will fall into pieces once touched. Then a man called Xu Cai turns up. He demands compensation from Lan Wei. Lan Wei has no choice but to give him some money. Stepping out of the room, Lan Wei finds what has happened today is so weird. So she decides to investigate it. From inside a dwelling in the south of the village, Lan Wei hears the conversation between Xu Wen, Xu Wu and Xu Cai. They turn out to be brothers and it is they who planned everything. Breaking into the room, Lan Wei and her companions kill the three cheaters.
Chapter FourLeaving Yuci，and passing Jingyang, the group reach Jinyang. At the gate of the town, thoughts of his parents being killed by the Qin soldiers again come into Yan Hong"s mind, and this makes him even more determined to take his revenge. Quite different from the previous cities, Jinyang is a big place. It happens to be market day, so the city is bustling with people going to the market. Cheng Yu says that his home is just near a wineshop. Going along the road to the north you reach his home, only to find nobody is in. After a talk with his neighbours you know Cheng Yu is away at the moment for some urgent business. Having not found Cheng Yu, they know it doesn"t make any sense if they keep on staying in Jinyang. Just on their leaving at the eastern gates of the city for Jiuyuan City, they are recognized by Gai Nie, who is later known to be Zhang Liang"s friend. On hearing that Gai Nie is going to assist Jing Ke in his planned assassination of Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, Zhang Liang advises him not to take the risk. When it comes to the Empyrean Stones, Zhang Liang says that his teacher, Ji Chen, owns one of the stones. Then Zhang Liang invites Lan Wei"s group to Yunzhong Village to pay a visit to Ji Chen. Then everybody agrees to go there together the next morning.
Back at the inn, Yan Hong criticises Lan Wei for believing every word Zhang Liang said. Cai Xin speaks up for Lan Wei, and gets into a quarrel with Yan Hong herself over the "Qin people” issue. Cai Xin runs out, crying. Lan Wei, together with Liang Hu and Gai Nie dash out of the house to chase after Cai Xin, leaving Yan Hong in the room on his own to reflect on his behaviour. Talking to the bellman, they find out that Cai Xin has run in the direction of the city gates. Afterwards they meet an old gatekeeper, who tells them Cai Xin has gone to the fields. Meeting Cai Xin in the fields, everyone tries to comfort her. Now Yan Hong appears and makes his apology to her. Now the problem is solved. Seeing that it"s already near daybreak, they decide not to go back to the inn. Instead, they start chatting in the fields. Gai Nie begins to recollect the stories of his youth. His parents were both killed by the Huns and it was his master who rescued him, taught him skills and betrothed him to his daughter. It is so sad that he wasn"t able to protect his wife…now the day breaks and the group gather at the city gates to meet Zhang Liang, together with whom they will head for Yunzhong Village.
Branch 1: At the tavern and some other places in the city you will hear that the son of Peng Wudi in Peng Wudi"s House has contracted a very strange illness, and they are searching for a doctor. Coming to Peng Wudi"s House in the west of the city and meeting Peng Wudi as well as his sworn brother, Yi Fei, Lan Wei promises to cure his son. In the patient"s bedchamber, Lan Wei discovers that he has been poisoned because his symptoms remind her of when she once was poisoned in the Tiger Fish cave. In a flash she also remembers that the cheater who sells fake medicine once told her about the prescription for the antidote. It is Tiger Fish meat，the fruit of the wolfberry and snow lotus. Giving this prescription to Peng Wudi, Lan Wei is asked to get Tiger Fish meat, while the rest of the ingredients are left to Yi Fei. There is a Tiger Fish cave in the southwest corner outside Peng Wudi"s House. Go inside the cave and kill the Tiger Fish, you will get the meat, but please note that there are two kinds of Tiger Fish meat, and each kind has different uses, one is for the treatment of the illness and the other is for enriching the blood. You can only use the one that treats illness via talking with NPCs. To get the meat, you have to kill the Tiger Fish in the deepest reaches of the cave. After getting the meat and meeting Peng Wudi, Lan Wei is asked to prepare the antidote in the kitchen. After talking to Yi Fei, Lan Wei goes to the west yard kitchen. At last with the antidote they successfully cure the son of Peng Wudi. Back in Peng Wudi"s living room, Lan Wei tells him that his son"s being poisoned was not accidental and someone must have planned it. Then Peng Wudi asks Lan Wei to investigate this, saying Yi Fei could assist her. Coming to Yi Fei"s room to make inquiries, Lan Wei finds nothing suspicious (now please continue to talk with Yi Fei until he says "No, we haven't had any strangers visit us recently."). Then talk to the chef, who says that the Peng family once employed two craftsmen to make a folding screen and these two men once got him drunk during a dinner. Having looked over the folding screen in the room, Lan Wei finds the proof of poisoning. Immediately Lan Wei runs to ask Yi Fei about the two craftsmen. From Yi Fei"s ambiguous response Lan Wei finds out that the two men are staying in the two guest rooms in the west yard. Now go to the craftsmen"s room and kill one of them. The other one is left to Yi Fei to deal with but he escapes. After reporting this to Peng Wudi, Lan Wei"s group sets off for Jinyang. No sooner have they reached Jinyang than they are stopped by a young man. After a fight with him Lan Wei realizes that Peng Wudi is in fact the local tyrant. Then Lan Wei"s group goes to Yi Fei"s home to ask some questions of his father and his wife. Afterwards they realize that they have helped the wrong people. To help people get rid of the scourge of Peng Wudi, Lan Wei decides to kill him. Back at Peng Wudi"s House, they meet Yi Fei. Lan Wei says to Yi Fei that he shouldn"t have helped a tyrant to do evil, while Yi Fei advises her not to interfere. Yi Fei seems to have some other intentions. Now a fight begins between Yi Fei and Lan Wei. If Yi Fei is defeated, you can directly break into the hall and kill Peng Wudi. If you lose it, Yi Fei will laugh at you. But you can also kill Peng Wudi after Yi Fei leaves for Peng Wudi"s House. Then Lan Wei knows Yi Fei is also trying to kill Peng Wudi by disguising himself as Peng Wudi"s accomplice.
Branch 2: At the bottom of the market in the west of Jinyang you will meet Wei Shen and Tian Mei. In order to cure Tian Mei, Wei Shen has racked his brains. From some sources he heard that one-thousand-year ginseng could cure Tian Mei"s illness. So he has come to Jinyang. But unfortunately the ginseng was already bought by Peng Wudi, who refuses to sell it to Wei Shen. Lan Wei decides to help get the ginseng. Entering Peng Wudi"s House, after the branch task one there is a plot where Lan Wei goes to the kitchen to prepare the antidote. There is a chest in the kitchen, and inside the chest the ginseng is just there. Get the ginseng and send it to Wei Shen. In addition, from the ironsmith in the market, you can learn some skills of forging.
Branch 3: In the city, Lan Wei"s group meets a man selling swords and Gai Nie is very interested. After a talk with him, Lan Wei is invited to the inn for trading. The man wants to charge too much for the sword so they don"t buy it. Back on the ground floor to talk with the innkeeper, Lan Wei is told that another man is also here to buy the sword. But to Lan Wei"s surprise, she doesn"t see the man at all. She finds it strange and goes back to the upper floor, only to find the seller has been seriously beaten up, and the sword missing. Lan Wei knows it must be the robber Han Xing. After chasing him all the way to the bushes in the north of the city, they finally catch Han Xing. But it is a pity he escapes in the end though Lan Wei defeats him.
Together with Zhang Liang, Lan Wei"s group passes through Tallcloud Mountain and reaches Tallcloud Village. They meet the teacher of Zhang Liang, Ji Chen, in the basement of whose house Lan Wei gets another piece of the Empyrean Stone. Ji Chen says, in ancient times Chi You started a war with the Yellow Emperor in order to enslave the human race. The war had lasted for hundreds of years and finally ended up with the defeat of Chi You. On hearing that Gai Nie is going to help assassinate the King of Qin, Ji Chen strongly suggests not going. He says, if the assassination is successful, Fu Su will certainly succeed to the throne. Fu Su is a clement, wise man, and under his leadership the Qin can only become stronger; whilst if they fail in the assassination, Ying Zheng will fly into a fury and will start to invade other countries all the more rapidly. Leaving Tallcloud Village，the group makes its way in the direction of Sky Lake Village, where there is a task of gaining the Kun Wu sword. Everyone please pay attention here, for this task affects whether there will be a satisfactory ending of the game.
Branch 4: Lan Wei meets Mo Xian, a lady who is picking herbs by the river side. Lan Wei agrees to help her find Ling Zhu Grass. Ling Zhu Grass grows just on the opposite side of the river. Go to Bai Shan"s in the village, you will see he still needs 3 more Ling Zhu Grass, with which he will cure the sick villagers. Go to the southern bank of the river and you will get the 3 Ling Zhu Grass. Talk again with Mo Xian, you will find out that it is due to the polluted river water that the villagers are getting poisoned. To find out why, Lan Wei goes to the headstream of the river, where she finds a cave. In the cave there is a Venom Demon. It is the Venom Demon that has poisoned the river. Kill it and you will get the poisonous heart. Talk to Mo Xian and go back to meet Bai Shan. Bai Shan tries the ingredients and gets poisoned whilst preparing the antidote. Now the antidote is ready and Lan Wei promises him to send it to the people in the village. The patients in Mo Xian"s room need one share of the antidote each, and the patients in another house need two shares each. Afterwards from the talk with Bai Shan Lan Wei knows that he is a descendant of the famous general, Bai Qi, who had taken so many lives, and to atone for this, he has chosen to be a doctor and save lives. If you have talked to Jiang Tuo in in Whitesand Valley, now you can find him at the entrance of the village. He will prepare the antidote to cure Bai Shan with the heart of the Venom Demon. Talk to Mo Xian before you cure Bai Shan.
Branch 5: When you arrive at Sky Lake Village, please go to the northernmost forest of the village, where you will meet a boy who has lost his way. He fought with the boy next door and left his family. Back in the village talk to a villager, you are told that the villager"s son has left home and has gone missing. Go back to the forest and take the boy back to his home.
Branch 6: It is getting dark. Talk to old man Zhao and you can stop at his house for the night. Now a crowd of gangsters rush into the village. They force the villagers to move from their houses. People fight against them and finally defeat them. The head of the gangsters named Ling Yan claims that he is the only person who is able to prevent Sky Lake from being dried up. At the bank of Sky Lake, Ling Yan tells Lan Wei about the story of Sky Lake Sword Tomb and the two celestial animals, Ice Guardian and Fire Guardian. At the bottom of the lake the Kun Wu sword can be found. It is the sword that Chi You once used. Originally Ice Guardian and Fire Guardian were here watching over it, but later Ice Guardian was killed by someone. Now with only Fire Guardian watching over the sword, Sky Lake is fast disappearing because of a drought. The only way to prevent the lake from being dried up is to kill Fire Guardian. Now everyone gathers at Sky Lake. Go down to the maze underground and find Fire Guardian. Kill Fire Guardian and you will get Fire Jade and scale. Go back to meet Ling Yan. He wants the Fire Jade. He is the one who killed Ice Guardian. Beat him and you get Ice Crystal. With Fire Jade and Ice Crystal you now go to the bottom of the lake again. With them you can open the Sky Lake Sword Tomb and gain the Kun Wu sword( put the Ice Crystal on the left and Fire Jade on the right).
Branch 7: At the entrance of the Sky Lake village you meet Wei Shen and Tian Mei again. The one-thousand year old ginseng doesn"t kill her at all. So they are now back in the village again in search of the Ancestral Tablet Wood. You get a piece of squama after you kill the Fire Guardian. You can exchange the scale for Ancestral Tablet Wood with Li San in the village. Then hand the Ancestral Tablet Wood to Wei Shen. Please note that if you didn"t complete the task of killing the Fire Guardian, you can buy Ancestral Tablet Wood at the price of 2000 gold.
Branch 8: After you defeat Ling Yan, he will tell you that he is actually here to search for his younger sister, Ling Xiu. He will show Lan Wei the keepsake, Longevity Charm. Talk to the robbers in the encampment and the villagers and you will speculate that Ling Yan"s sister is in fact Zhao Ling, the adopted daughter of Old Man Zhao. At the house of Old Man Zhao, you can reunite brother and sister.
Lan Wei"s group leaves Sky Lake Village, passes Tallcloud Village and reaches Tallcloud Mountain. Here they meet Cheng Yu accidentally, who is lying on the ground, seriously hurt. Gai Nie proposes to take him home to Jinyang, and Lan Wei agrees, while Yan Hong doesn"t want to bother to do so, for he thinks Cheng Yu is not a man who can be trusted.
At Cheng Yu"s home in Jinyang, Lan Wei finds some bamboo tablets, most of the words on which have already been scraped off. But Lan Wei recognized some letters saying "Xing Tian”. She doesn"t understand this. Lan Wei sends for a doctor for Cheng Yu. The doctor tells them Cheng Yu isn"t seriously injured so he will be alright the next morning if he takes some medicine. Then Lan Wei leaves for the inn, planning to come to see Cheng Yu the next day. Stepping away from Cheng Yu"s house she meets Yin Cheng, who says the city has imposed a curfew for all residents, and advises her not to wander about in the city. Lan Wei tells him about taking Cheng Yu back home, and this surprises Yin Cheng. Back in the inn, Lan Wei inquires of the innkeeper about the curfew. From the innkeeper Lan Wei finds out that Jing Ke failed in his attempt to assassinate the King of Qin. Gai Nie is very sad about this. At midnight Gai Nie gets up and drinks alone. It"s obvious that Jing Ke"s death is a great shock to him. Cai Xin comes to cheer him up and then Lan Wei appears. Lan Wei asks him to search for the Empyrean Stones with her, and he agrees. Simultaneously, a viper appears in Cheng Yu"s house, crawling to his bed…
The next morning at Cheng Yu"s home, Cheng Yu is found dead on his bed. The doctor says the viper that has killed Cheng Yu actually is quite rare. Then Lan Wei"s group leaves Jinyang, passes Tallcloud Mountain and gets to Lucky Sun Village. Just stepping into the village they find a squad of Qin soldiers trying to drive away the villagers. Thinking the Qin soldiers are press-ganging labourers, Lan Wei"s group attacks them. When the fight ends up with the triumph of the Lan Wei"s group, they begin to realize that it is simply a misunderstanding, and the soldiers are part of Fu Su"s army, who are here to exterminate the local bandits under the leadership of General Huan Feng. For fear that they might hurt the people by mistake, they are trying to move them to Jiuyuan City, but some vigorous young men insist on staying and joining them. This is the cause of the bustup. Now that everything is clear, they are reconciled. Then Huan Feng leaves. But his name reminds Cai Xin"s of her father, Huan Qi…
Branch 9: In the middle room you find the Qin general here to take over Huan Feng"s position. He was previously a civilian and he doesn"t know anything about warfare. Now Lan Wei has to take the initiative to kill the head of the bandits, Wu Hai.
Chapter FiveFrom Jiyang Village all the way to the north is Xiangye. Passing Xiangye, Lan Wei"s group comes to the east of Jiuyuan City. From the Qin soldiers on watch they find out that the Huns are going to invade, so the eastern, western, and the northern gates of the city have been closed. This really worries Lan Wei because they are intending to set off for Fang-Horn Village from the northern gates. Now that they can"t leave, they might as well stay for a while. After a short stay in the inn, Liang Hu recalls the days when he was a small boy wandering around in Jiuyuan City. He was beaten black and blue by the local ruffians. Fortunately a kind old man took Liang Hu to his home, healed his injuries and sent him to the Central Plains. This is the reason why he is now in Baiyue. Liang Hu says he will never forget his kindness though he doesn"t even know his name. His companions all agree that not all the Qin people are bad, sighing with emotion.
The group come to the gates of the General"s residence in the west of the city. The soldiers tell them that only with the authorization of Huan Qi and Fu Su can they pass through the northern gates. Seeing it is so difficult, they decide to sleep on it in the inn. Back in the inn, Yan Hong comes up with an idea, he proposes to steal the pass in the General"s house and whilst there they can also look for the Empyrean Stone. Nobody approves of the decision because they think their sneaking out of the city may lead to the invasion of the Huns. Seeing nobody agrees with him, he sits there silently, thinking of other methods.
Around midnight, Yan Hong is nowhere to be found. Needless to say, he must be in the General"s residence. Everyone gets out of bed and hurries to give him a hand. Soldiers enforcing the curfew are everywhere in the city, so don"t stir up any trouble, just run to the General"s house. Arriving there, Lan Wei"s group finds Yan Hong is already under attack by the Qin soldiers. Everyone is worried. At this time Prince Fu Su appears. He invites everyone into his residence to have a talk. Inside Fu Su tells them that he himself doesn"t approve of the plan of invading Baiyue, but the King persists in taking the advice of some traitororous ministers. For his insubordination, he himself was transferred to Jiuyuan City to direct the army at this time of the Hun"s invasion. Yan Hong tells Fu Su that there is a very urgent matter, and that is the reason why he broke into the residence to steal the pass. Fu Su criticizes him for ignoring the safety of the whole city. Yan Hong is very ashamed and keeps silent. Everyone present is deeply moved by Fu Su"s concern for the people. Gai Nie says he has something to give to General Huan Qi, but Fu Su tells him that Huan Qi is away checking on the military situation. So they can come over to meet him the next morning.
Back in the inn, Lan Wei is very critical of Yan Hong for being so impulsive and taking on all the risk and danger alone. She also asks Yan Hong to take care of himself for her, saying he is now the only one for her to rely on. Lan Wei gives Yan Hong the Colored Arm Band. At the same time, Cai Xin is feeling uneasy upstairs. Tomorrow she is going to meet Huan Qi. She is worrying whether he will recognize her as his daughter. Then Gai Nie comes to soothe her worries.
The next day, Lan Wei"s group comes to the General"s residence to meet Huan Qi. All those year ago, Huan Qi had to leave his wife for the sake of her own security. Afterwards he had sneaked back, but he found his wife had died while giving birth to Cai Xin. So he thought Cai Xin had also died. That is why he never again went back to Baiyue. Now Lan Wei asks him about the Empyrean Stones. He replies that he is also here to search for the stone on the orders of the King, and Fu Su doesn"t even know about this. The King of Qin is also seeking potions for everlasting life. When he learns that Lan Wei"s group is searching for the stone, Huan Qi offers his Empyrean Stone, as some compensation to Cai Xin and her mother. By this time, a soldier comes in and reports that Huan Feng has been captured by the Hun soldiers, and Fu Su has hurried to the eastern gates, asking Huan Qi to come at once. Outside the eastern gates, the Huns are demanding that Huan Qi surrender, while Huan Feng is not scared at all. He asks his father not to give in to the enemy. Having not attained their goal, the Huns depart hauling off Huan Feng with them. Fu Su and Huan Qi go back to the mansion to think of some countermeasures. Gai Nie suggests killing the Hun general, Ye Heyu. Only in this way can they force the Hun army back, but everyone feels that they should ask for Fu Su"s advice first. Coming to the general"s mansion, Lan Wei finds that each of Fu Su and Huan Qi are insisting on assassinating the Hun general personally. At this time, Lan Wei comes out boldly, saying she will do it. Now Lan Wei faces two options. One is to go with Gai Nie and Cai Xin, kill Ye Heyu in the Hun encampment, and discover the plan of attack against Jiuyuan City formulated by Zhao Gao and the Huns. The other is to watch over Jiuyuan City with Yan Hong (just stick to staying at the city gates for a period of time until the Huns retreat, and the time remaining will be shown at the top right of the screen). Before the group departs from Fu Su, Gai Nie expresses his wish that Fu Su will look after the interests of the ordinary people, and Cai Xin says goodbye to her father. Now that the Huns have beaten a retreat, the whole city is filled with great joy, but Zhao Gao is not happy about this. He is the traitor who has colluded with the Huns in the plot to invade the city. Now the three city gates that were once closed are re-opened. Lan Wei"s group makes preparations to set off from the northern gates to Fang-Horn Village，Liang Hu"s hometown. On the way they find a Hun sword at Beigu Grasslands, which they think must have been left by the Hun troops in their retreat ( you will also meet Jiang Tuo here later) . Gai Nie admires Fu Su very much and he states that for the sake of the interests of the people, he is willing to abandon personal enmity. Hearing this, Lan Wei is moved. Keep on walking forward and Galetown is ahead. Liang Hu"s hometown is near at hand.
Branch 1 : At the eastern gates of Jiuyuan City there is a boy. He is the servant of a local merchant prince. He says he lost the censer which his master had handed to him for safe keeping. Lan Wei agrees to help him (this task cannot be finished if not received before relieving the siege of Jiuyuan City). Coming to the merchant"s home, Lan Wei knows that the child of the merchant has been longing for a clay doll, and the child once said that he was going to make himself a clay doll out of the ashes of incense in the censer with some water. Lan Wei guesses that the loss of the censer must be related to the child. Now there are two solutions. One is to buy the child a clay doll from the street vendor downtown; the other one is to threaten the child and talk to the servant. In either way you will obtain the information that the censer is kept in the warehouse nearby. Go to the warehouse, get the censer and hand it over to the boy servant.
Branch 2: In the western part of Jiuyuan City is Wang Ren"s home. Hand the parcel over to Wang Ren"s wife and tell her about the death of her husband. From her you find out Li Yi"s home is just nearby. Go to Li Yi"s house and tell his wife about the story of Li Yi. You can also give her some money.
Branch 3: After relieving the seige Jiuyuan City, the group meet a local captain in the southern part of Eastern Jiuyuan City, who says he will offer a reward to anyone who catches the thief Han Xing. Lan Wei promises him to help. In the tavern, an old man offers Lan Wei some jewelry. After talking with him, Lan Wei goes upstairs. Now she finds her money is missing. Han Xing must be operating around here, she guesses. Stepping downstairs, she finds some traveling merchants have also had valuables stolen. Lan Wei has a good idea. She pretends that she will keep a very valuable parcel at the tavern. Then she takes a walk outside. When she gets back to the tavern, she finds the parcel has gone. The keeper tells her that she has already taken the parcel away. Lan Wei realizes that it is Han Xing again. He simply disguises himself with make up. Knowing this, everyone rushes upstairs and stops Han Xing who is disguised as an old man, but he manages to escape in the end. Lan Wei believes that he cannot be hiding so far away, so she begins to search for him in the city. Near a house in the northwest corner she meets a woman who is washing clothes. She says she is now employed by the Han family. Though the housework is not heavy, the pay is quite satisfactory. From the woman"s words, Lan Wei feels that Han Xing must be associated with the Han family. Going inside the house she finds Han Xing. He is also looking after a lot of orphans. That"s why he has been stealing from others to make a living. Now you can choose either to kill him or let him go. If you kill him, you can get a reward from the local captain by handing him the head of Han Xing. If you set him free, lie to the local captain saying Han Xing has fallen off the cliff and died. In this way you can also complete this task, but you cannot get any reward. Whether you choose to kill him or not, you will get from his house the jewels that have been stolen. Go back to the tavern and return them to the traveling merchants.
Branch 4: After you finish relieving Jiuyuan City from the seige by the Huns, you will meet an incurable old man in a house near the front gate of the General"s residence in the west of Jiuyuan City. The old man is trying to find his old friend with whom he has lost touch years ago, but now he is very sick and bed ridden. Lan Wei promises to help him. Then the old man will send Lan Wei a half ring as a keepsake. Step away from the room and set off for Jiuyuan City in the west, find the friend of the old man in front of a house in the northernmost part and you will get the other part of the ring from him. Please note that the time is limited in this task. So once you accept this task, finish it as soon as possible. There are many bandits in Jiuyuan City, so on one hand, you should pay attention to the old man"s security, on the other hand, remember not to get involved with the bandits for too long because the time is limited.
Branch 5: Meeting a hunter in Galetown, who is afraid of going home because there is a snake in his house, Lan Wei promises to help. Please remember to save the game before entering the room, for the snake appears randomly. If you can"t find the snake, load the game and try a second time.
Branch 7: In Galetown Lan Wei meets two men quarrelling. One insists that his wood should be better, while the other one insists that his bronze should be better. They ask Lan Wei to be the judge. During the talk with them separately, please choose the option saying that each of their stuff is very precious. Now according to your needs, choose to talk with either of them. As long as you admit that his stuff is better than the other"s, you can buy it at a very low price of 5000 gold.
Branch 8: In Galetown Lan Wei meets a man who is trying to sell off his Rainbow Jade. To cure his sick son, he needs the money urgently. But the merchant offers a very low price. Now there are three options. One is to buy the jade at 10000 gold, another one is to give the man 3000 gold gratuitously, and the last one is to go and meet the merchant in the shop and lie to him telling that you can buy from him the jade at a top price. This may lead him to buy the jade.
Chapter SixThey reach Fang-Horn Village eventually. Just stepping into the village Liang Hu meets Wu Tong, an old childhood friend. The friend joyously rushes to Liang Hu"s home to tell his parents the good news. Liang Hu goes back to his home. It is really an emotional family reunion. Liang Hu mentions to his parents about the Empyrean Stones. From his parents he learns that the present leader Wu Jing is away, and Tie Lang seems unconvinced by this newly appointed leader. For further knowledge about the Empyrean Stones, you can turn to Wizard Bright Spring.
From Wizard Bright Spring they learn that the Empyrean Stone is kept in the sanctum of the clan and it is accessible only with the permission of the clan leader. Besides, Wizard Bright Spring says that he will perform the magic of predicting the future, but he needs the horns of the Fire Demon in the Brightflame Cave. Of course this is Lan Wei"s job. From Fang-Horn Village all the way to the west, passing Snakespit Cliff, Lan Wei reaches Goose Swain Mountains. The Fire Demon is at the end of the Brightflame Cave. There are four storeys in all in Brightflame Cave. The landform there is not complex, but the monsters can self-destruct and that"s very powerful. Now everyone gets to the fourth storey, only to find it vacant. Just as they are wondering, the Fire Demon appears and starts to attack them. People fight together against it and finally defeat it. Taking its horns, they go back to Fang-Horn Village to hand them over toWizard Bright Spring. With the horns Wizard Bright Spring begins his magic. But he can see nothing except some dark shadows, explosions and smirking faces. Everyone begins to feel at a loss, then they hear people quarrelling loudly. They rush out to find out what is happening. It is the villagers from Woodleaf Village nearby. They are here to make a protest, saying that the chief of Fang-Horn Village has poisoned their village, and they want the antidote. Whereas the villagers from Fang-Horn Village think that their leader would never do such a thing. So Lan Wei decides to investigate this herself in Woodleaf Village.
After making some inquiries from the village head of Woodleaf Village, she finds three newcomers to the village suspicious. They are Lu Sheng, Lu Ning and Qiao Zhen. Lu Sheng and Lu Ning are alchemists, and Qiao Zhen is a doctor. First go and investigate in Qiao Zhen"s house. He is sleeping soundly in bed, green pills scattered on the radishes that are heaped up on the floor. Lan Wei picks up some of the pills and takes them to the keeper of the herbal medicine shop in the village, Mr. Han, but he finds they are not poisonous at all. Then people go to the well to make an investigation. It is the only well in the village. On the surface of the water Cai Xin finds some dead ants and gray ash. People take the ash to Mr. Han again for testing. Then he tells them that the components of the ash cannot be identified in a short time, but it is certain that there is arsenic in it. It is heard that Lu Ning used to make pills of immortality with arsenic, so he seems to be the suspect. Going to Lu Ning"s house, people really find some gray ash on his stove. Going to Lu Sheng"s house, people find some leaves stuck to the bucket with some honey on them, and there is a piece of cloth with some arsenic on it, too. Afterwards, Lan Wei points out to the village head that Lu Ning is the prime suspect. Lu Ning certainly denies this. It turns out that Lu Sheng has been trying to frame him. Now a villager comes to report that Lu Sheng has escaped in the direction of Binding-Beast Tower with Dragon Horn. Lu Sheng and Lu Ning actually are pupils of the same master. They both came to Woodleaf Village with the aim of gaining Dragon Horn, but Lu Ning gave it up when he saw that Dragon Horn was the sacred relic of that village. Lu Sheng envies Lu Ning in that Lu Ning always receives great recognition while he thinks he is actually much better than Lu Ning in all aspects. Now he is trying to prepare the Pills of Immortality with Dragon Horn, and in this way he thinks he will make a great achievement. Additionally, he says that he has controlled the leader of the Beastman with toxic drugs. With these words, he escapes into Binding-Beast Tower. People follow him and defeat him inside Binding-Beast Tower on the third storey. Lu Sheng wouldn"t surrender and offer the antidote. Lu Ning comes and pleads with Lan Wei to give him another chance, but Lu Sheng feels no gratitude to him at all and escapes hurriedly dropping the antidote on the ground. With the antidote, Wu Jing is saved. Wu Jing invites everybody to gather round at Beastman Clan Village. Dragon Horn is returned to the village head, and all the argument are settled.
Branch 1: Meet Tie Lang and talk to him in the village. He asks Liang Hu to compete with him. But Liang Hu is no longer as combative as before, so he refuses him.
Branch 2: At the centre of Fang-Horn Village you meet a little girl, and you can play guessing games with her.
Branch 3: Inside the Tree House you meet Silver Fox, who says her daughter Nannan has been away at her younger sister, Pine Fox"s house for a long time and she is worried about her. People agree to help her. They come to Pine Fox"s house only to find Nannan has already left. Coming out of the house, they find the child alone in an old building. She is afraid of going back home because she has forgotten to take the rag doll. Now you can choose either to go back to Pine Fox"s house to fetch her the doll or escort her home.
Branch 4: At Xiao Ye"s home in the village, his mother says the child has been away in the mountains hunting for quite a long time, and Uncle Biao has gone to search for him. Lan Wei decides to help her search for the boy. In the cave of the mountain at the back of the village, Lan Wei finds an iron paw and a piece of bone. Take them to Xiao Ye"s mother. She will tell you that the iron paw is Xiao Ye"s while the bone is not. Then go back to the mountain again and meet a monster. Defeat it and it will escape into the cave. Follow it and you will find Xiao Ye inside. Xiao Ye pleads with Lan Wei to release the monster because it is the monster that has rescued him. Now you can choose to kill it or let it go. By the way, if you meet Uncle Biao before seeing Xiao Ye"s mother, you can also receive the task of searching for Xiao Ye and killing the monster.
Branch 5: At the cantonment of the Fang-Horn Village you will meet an injured beastman soldier. By this time if you have got the medicine ( find out the criminal who has poisoned Woodleaf Village, speak to the medicine shopkeeper and you will get two shares of trauma medicine ), you can give the soldier one share of the medicine for treatment of his injury.
Go from Fang-Horn Village to the north, passing Snakespit Cliff and you will reach the Beastman Clan (please finish the branch tasks first, and part of the tasks require that Liang Hu should be in the team ). Lan Wei goes inside the tent and meets the leader, Wu Jing. He is grateful to Lan Wei"s team for rescuing him, but considering the interests of the whole clan, he refuses to hand them the Empyrean Stone. Then he leaves. To steal the Empyrean Stone seems the only method. But Liang Hu firmly disagrees and for this reason he leaves the team. The team goes back to Fang-Horn Village in search of Liang Hu, and they encounter Tie Lang, who is very dissatisfied with Wu Jing. He agrees to help Lan Wei find the Empyrean Stone. Tie Lang hopes to make Wu Jing lose his position as leader by stealing the Empyrean Stone. Go to the tent in the Beastman"s encampment. Tie Lang opens the hidden door and a secret path appears. Follow this path and get the fourth piece of the Empyrean Stone. The fifth piece of the Empyrean Stone is kept inside the Imperial Tomb which the Beastman people have guarded for generations. Then the team leave the Beastman clan for the Cliffs of the Emperor of Heaven in the west. At the northernmost part of Heaven Earth Cliff they find three statues. After a careful study of the middle statue, they find a button. Press that button and a guard beast appears. Defeat it and you will get a green gem. Put that gem into the hole of the statue and then another beast appears. Defeat it and you will get a blue gem. Put the blue gem into the hole of the statue too and yet another guard beast appears. Defeat it and you can get a red gem. Put the red gem into the hole and the entrance of the tomb opens. Now Liang Hu comes over and joins the team. There are six storeys in all in the Imperial Tomb and the beasts on guard inside are very powerful. Struggle to the sixth storey, turn the four poles that are set in the middle, and you will see an extremely strong beast. Defeat it and open the stone coffin, from which you discover that there is another sanctum inside. Enter it and gain the fifth piece of the Empyrean Stone. Walk ahead and you can see an altar. Lan Wei cannot wait any longer to put the five pieces of the Empyrean Stone into the altar and perform her magic to resurrect her father. But now Wu Jing hurries in and stops her. He says the Empyrean Stone cannot revive the dead at all. It is only the tool by which the Yellow Emperor sealed Chi You"s soul. Now that the seal is opened, the soul of Chi You and his escorts have come to the world again. Yan Hong says that Chi You is the God of War embraced by the Baiyue people, and he would never harm human beings. But seeing the corpse escort soldiers everywhere, he has nothing more to say.
Wu Jing suggests everyone hurry to the ground quickly, saying Master Wu Zhen and a Mr. Zhang are waiting there. Follow the same route, struggle to the ground and you will meet Wu Zhen and Zhang Liang. Wu Zhen tells the ins and outs of the story, and he suggests finishing two tasks. One is to go back to the tomb and destroy the seal completely in order that no more escort soldiers of Chi You will appear. The other is to hurry to Baiyue and destroy Chi You"s human body as soon as possible. Chi You for now is very weak because he is only newly revived.
If Liang Hu has experienced the Trial of the Cave before, he will say that he is willing to destroy the seal alone so that Lan Wei and the other people can go to Baiyue for the other task. Now Tie Lang appears. He alleges that he is the toughest beastman soldier, and it is his job to destroy the seal. Liang Hu has to compete with him now. Tie Lang loses the fight. Now Liang Hu"s parents are coming to see their son off. Before Liang Hu enters the Imperial Tomb, Cai Xin asks Liang Hu to take the Kun Wu sword with her, telling him that it would be of help for it"s the Yellow Emperor"s sword. Now Liang Hu enters the tomb while Lan Wei and the other companions begin their journey to South Sky Mountains. At the deepest part of the Imperial Tomb, Liang Hu is viciously attacked by the escorts of Chi You. He has to perform the magic of "Perishing Together”. The vibrancy from the magic is so great that Lan Wei could feel it clearly far away. But she believes Liang Hu will be meeting them soon safe and sound.
Branch 1: At Lei Shi"s house in the Beastman Clan, Lan Wei meets Wei Shen who is still rushing about for the sick Tian Mei. The Retrieval Grass appears ineffective. Lei Shi refuses to cure Tian Mei only because she is from Qin, however hard Wei Shen has tried pleading with him. At last Lan Wei successfully persuades Lei Shi to help and Lei Shi gives a hand. After a while, Lan Wei comes back to inquire about Tian Mei. Lei Shi says that he has tried his best but his efforts are in vain. In addition, he says some doctor in Chengdu would help( this task is to be received and completed before Liang Hu leaves the team).
Branch 2: Lan Wei meets Wen Xiong, who says the liquor he bought has gone bad. Thinking the Monkey Wine Chef Yao made for her is still with her, Lan Wei sends him the wine( you can also send him the wine bought from Redclay Village).
Branch 3: Lan Wei meets an injured soldier at the encampment of the Beastman Clan. Send him a share of the medicine which you get from Woodleaf Village.
Branch 4: Meet Lie Ying at the encampment of the Beastman Clan, who has a crush on Yun Que but is too shy to express it. Liang Hu decides to send the necklace to Yun Que for him. In return for this, Yun Que also gives Lie Ying a helmet and an iron paw. Liang Hu delivers the presents to Lie Ying and expresses his best wishes. If you meet Yun Que before Lie Ying, their presents will be different.
Branch 5: At the encampment of the Beastman Clan Lan Wei"s team knows that a true Beastman soldier should pass the Trial of the Cave first. Liang Hu decides to meet the challenge. Go to the east part of the village and you can arrive at the cave. Only Liang Hu is allowed to enter the cave. Inside the cave, an old man relates to Liang Hu the rules of the test. There are five five-element soldiers in the cave, Water in the north, Wood in the east, Fire in the south and Gold in the west. Talk with them(during the talk, don"t choose the option inquiring about the rules of the test), and choose one of them to compete with you. After defeating the first soldier, ask him which to choose for the next. After you defeat them all, you can gain the five-element tokens. Go forward and find the The Obelisk of the Five Elementals. Put in the five-element tokens according to the five-element theories, i.e., you should put in the Wood token by choosing the option saying "Drop the wooden club.” , if the instruction says "The Obelisk of the Five Elementals shimmers with the brilliance of the five colors though the red is dim. ”, because Wood promotes Fire. Open the Five-element Hood and get out from the entrance (please note whether or not you achieve this task will have an effect on the ending of the game).
Chapter EightNow please chase the escort that is going to meet Chi You. From Heaven Earth Cliff with her companions Lan Wei has come to South Sky Mountains, which is already strewn with monsters. Kill them all.
Enter the town of Lingnan from South Sky Mountains. Liang Hu catches up with the team from behind. Seeing Liang Hu is back safe and sound, Lan Wei shed tears of delight. Liang Hu says that he was then caught in the bottom of the Imperial Tomb, and thanks to the Kun Wu sword, it was the Kun Wu sword that flew out of its scabbard and sealed all the monsters at the time of maximum danger. He also adds, he brought out the five pieces of the Empyrean Stone when leaving the tomb.
The town of Lingnan is almost destroyed by Chi You"s escort. After killing all the monsters, Lan Wei"s team meets an old man. The old man generally shows to the team the directions ahead. There are two ways of reaching Chengdu. One is to pass Redmoon Plains, Sunset Valley and Retrieval Cliff and then arrive in Chengdu. The second way is to pass Thunderhome Peak, Peach Blossom Village, Shi Li Hill and Retrieval Cliff and then arrive in Chengdu. You can only choose one of them. The first route is shorter and there are no branch plots. Just kill all the monsters along the way, so that it will be not so difficult in the decisive battle with Chi You because he will have fewer monsters to help him. But you will miss the key character Fang Zhong, and this directly affects the ending of the game. The second route is longer, besides there are many branch tasks, but you can meet Fang Zhong in Peach Blossom Village. If you choose this route, the formerly received task of killing monsters throughout the journey will not be achieved. But this doesn"t affect the completion of the game. However, you will have a hard time fighting against Chi You eventually. On account of the simple plots in the first route, there won"t be more instructions here. The following are the detailed instructions of the plots and tasks in the second route.
Go to Thunderhome Peak from the town of Lingnan all the way to the south. At the top right there are a lot of white flowers. Gai Nie says that his wife liked this kind of flower best before her death. Cai Xin also thinks the flower is very nice. Then an old man turns up from a room nearby. After an inquiry, the old man tells Gai Nie not to be so grieved over the dead, or the dead will also feel bad in the lower world. What one owns in reality is precious indeed…
Go from Thunderhome Peak, pass Peach Blossom Village and get to Shi Li Hill, and further ahead it is Retrieval Cliff. At Retrieval Cliff Cai Xin meets her father, Huan Qi, who has been under a house arrest because he didn"t hand the Empyrean Stone to the King of Qin. But he tries to escape secretly. Cai Xin tries persuading her father to withdraw from society and lead a reclusive life, while Huan Qi warns that there are Qin soldiers ahead to be dealt with. Go ahead and see the Qin soldiers that are so scared by the sudden appeareance of the skeleton corpses. Kill these monsters and go straight forward to Chengdu City.
Branch 1: In the talk with the villager in the south of Peach Blossom Village you know there is a capable hermit named Fang Zhong. Gai Nie seems to know this man, and his effusive antipathy to Fang Zhong is obvious to all. Go to Fang Zhong"s house. On entering the house, Gai Nie is recognized by Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong turns out to be the elder brother of Shuang Er, who is Gai Nie"s wife. Gai Nie censures Fang Zhong for refusing to help them when Fang Zhong lead the Mohists( disciples of the Mohist School, which is a school of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, 770-221 B.C.) assisting Zhao in the war against Qin. In that war General Li was killed. However, nobody knows Fang Zhong had his difficulties. When it comes to sealing Chi You, Fang Zhong says that most of the gods derived from the five elements. The Yellow Emperor is the primary god of Earth, and Chi You is the primary god of Fire. So the Yellow Emperor would have been unable to defeat Chi You by right of his own ability, he must have drawn support from some other sources. Fang Zhong also sends Lan Wei a book of letters.
Branch 2: Enter Peach Blossom Village. In the northern part of the village, an old man and a child are surrounded by a crowd of strong men. They are the servants of the Li family, forcing the old man to pay back money. Lan Wei and her companions drive away these men and inquire of the old man the reason. The old man, Mr. Fang says that he borrowed ten gold from the Li family, but they changed the figure to show one thousand on the bill which is now due. On hearing this, Lan Wei burst into a fury. The team soon goes to the center of the village and in front of a big house they meet Li San. Kill him, get back the due bill, and give it to Old Man Fang.
Branch 3: There is a cave at the top right part of Thunderhome Peak, it is Black Water Lily Cave. Lan Wei and her companions hear two women inside the cave talking. On entering the cave they don"t find anything. It is strange, and they can only leave. Help Old Man Fang get back the due bill in Peach Blossom Village and talk with him, you will learn that the Shi Family used to be a rich family in this village. Lord Shi was a generous person and he was never reluctant to aid needy people. One day his son unfortunately fell off the cliff at Thunderhome Peak and afterwards Lord Shi died of grief. But surprisingly, not long after the death of his father, the son, Shi Guiyi arrived back home. On hearing his father had died, he was silent all day. He seemed to have contracted a strange disease. Li Tu got rich through cheating Shi Guiyi. Now talk to the servants at the gates of the Li Family"s home, then you will know that the house of the Li Family has lately become haunted and Li Tu has sent for Wizard Qing Kong to help get rid of the evil spirits. Now go to the gates of the Li Family"s home and then you will overhear the talk between Li Tu and Wizard Qing Kong. They are planning to set off to Black Water Lily Cave to kill the two goblins the next day. Now leave the Li Family home for the Shi Family home, then you see Child Shi is sick in bed, and there is a woman beside him mumbling. It appears to you that she is going to kill Child Shi. Lan Wei breaks in and the woman disappears. Now Lan Wei"s team hurries to Thunderhome Peak, at the entry of which you find a weird purple flower. Then the woman who was in Shi Guiyi"s room just now appears. Talk to her and she will tell you that her name is Fei Yan, and her elder sister is Chuan Yun. They are both Chrysanthemum Spirit. Chuan Yun was grabbed away and sold to the Li Family, but before long the Li Family discarded her. On the verge of withering away, Child Shi saved her. Subsequently, Child Shi carelessly fell off the cliff and luckily he was saved by Chuan Yun. Then they fell in love. Having learnt everything, the team go to Black Water Lily Cave, where Qing Kong is trying to coerce Chuan Yun into handing over the Inner Power of Purity. People remind Chuan Yun not to be duped and misled. In a miff, Qing Kong wants to kill Shi Guiyi. However, in an instant Fei Yan wards off what would have been a killing blow for Shi Guiyi. After killing Qing Kong, Lan Wei gets the Inner Power of Purity from Chuan Yun and the Inner Power of Freedom from Fei Yan, then you can use either of these to cure Shi Guiyi. And with the remaining Power you can save either Chuan Yun or Fei Yan. If you want to save Chuan Yun, then use Chuan Yun"s Power to cure Shi Guiyi, and use Fei Yan"s Power to save Chuan Yun. And vice versa. Lastly, go back to the village to talk with Li Tu, and he will escape.
Branch 4: At the residence of a villager, Lan Wei finds Child Shi who has fainted, while the child of the neighbour is all right as he hasn"t gone outside these days. Leaving this house, Lan Wei suddenly hears someone crying for help inside the room. Turning around she finds a shadow. Chasing the shadow to a tree outside Peach Blossom Village, Lan Wei finds it is a Fox Spirit and is going to kill it. The Fox Spirit begs Lan Wei for it wants to have a last look at the boy inside the cave, and she consents. Following the fox into the cave, Lan Wei knows eventually that the fox has to shape itself into the shape of a human so as to take care of the boy. To save this boy it has to suck wit from other boys. Now the Fox Spirit feels relieved that it doesn"t have to harm people constantly only to save the boy… After the Fox Spirit dies, get the Power from it and hand it to the boy.
Branch 5: From Qing Yu in Peach Blossom Village Lan Wei learns that the scale from the Fire Guardian is a precious treasure. But some evil spirit has attached to it. Only the cold, sharp iron hammer from Xiao Wentian, a famous ironsmith, can remove that. Besides, Qing Yu says that Xiao Wentian always appears near Shi Li Hill. Accepting the "Book for Eradicating Evil” from him, Lan Wei sets off to Shi Li Hill to meet Xiao Wentian. On meeting Xiao Wentian, and after a talk with him, Lan Wei successfully forges Flare Ring, and she also gains Heartlock Armor.
The evil spirits are everywhere in Chengdu City. Lan Wei"s team comes to the city gates and finds that Yan Hong"s uncle, Yan Peng, is fighting with great difficulty against the monsters. Unfortunately, Yan Peng is defeated and killed. Seeing this, Yan Hong crazily rushes at the monsters but unexpectedly he gets taken over by Chi You"s spirit. Chi You rejoices that Mei has found him a splendid body, telling people to meet him at the Temple of the God of War. Lan Wei"s team pursues Chi You all the way westward and catches up with him at Bronze Tiger Mountain. Yin Cheng, who has already died now is beside Chi You. It turns out Yin Cheng also got taken over by an evil spirit and he has been tailing after Lan Wei"s team. Chi You is defeated by the team and escapes. Cai Xin advises re-grouping back in Chengdu (here you can also choose not to go back and keep on chasing Chi You).
Branch 6: Lan Wei meets a denizen at the western gates of Chengdu, who asks her not to hurt the corpses downtown, for they used to be the residents in this city. Entering the downtown area, Lan Wei sees a man fighting with a group of corpses. She has to save the man by killing the corpses. This man is Chi Ying. Lan Wei tells him not to hurt the corpses any more. But Chi Ying says these corpses are monsters after all, and only by killing them can the souls of the dead be relieved. Feeling that"s reasonable, Lan Wei helps Chi Ying kill all the corpses in the city. Go back to the inn and meet Chi Ying"s master, Wu Tian. He says there is a method to annihilate the corpses, but they need the Spirit Grass first. Talk to the innkeeper and take a rest. On the next morning people find some Spirit Grass at the centre of the Lost Woods to the east of the city. Outside the eastern gates of the city there is a woodman, you can also buy from him two pieces of Spirit Grass at the price of 2000 gold. Then go back and give the Spirit Grass to Wu Tian (if you don"t want to give out all the Spirit Grass, you can drop some to the ground beforehand, and pick them up after you talk with Wu Tian).
Branch 7: In the Lost Woods you will meet Tian Mei who has been transformed into a corpse and is now attacking Wei Shen. It is Tian Jing, an evil doctor who has been up to this mischief. Save the small boy in the house in the woodland, he will tell you that his master, Tian Jing, transformed into a monster and ran away. People come to Swallow Cave and kill him. When they come back to the house in the woodland again, they find Tian Mei completely recovered. She hopes to spend the rest of her life with her beloved Wei Shen, who has been accompanying her through all the good and the bad times.
Branch 8: There is a boy to the northeast of Chengdu City, who wants to eat the Scented Red Nut. If you have been to the tree cavity in Cloud Rose Village (the task of Xiao Miao), you will have Scented Red Nut with you. Give him the Scented Red Nut.
Branch 9: There is an old trader to the east of Chengdu, who purchases Spirit Grass at a very high price. Before you meet Chi Ying"s master you can sell the spare Spirit Grass to him.
Branch 10: There is a young lad named Xiao Wu talking big near the eastern gates of Chengdu. Show off your materials for forging to him and humble him.
Leave Chengdu, pass Bronze Tiger Mountain and you arrive at Bronze Drum Village, where the villagers are holding a celebratory event for Chi You"s resurrection. They are controlled by Chi You. Lan Wei"s team defeats Chi You but carelessly lets him escape again. Before leaving he tells everyone to meet him at Giantwood. At Giantwood Chi You revives Xing Tian. Xing Tian no longer wants to fight against all the gods with Chi You, however, he agrees to help Chi You fight one last time. Finally Xing Tian is defeated by Lan Wei"s team, after which, instead of feeling chagrin at his defeat he feels much relieved. He then tells everybody stories about all the gods. After Pan Gu and Nu Wa created human beings, they were worried that humans might grow too powerful. So they entrusted Chi You and Xing Tian with the responsibility of taking control of human beings, telling them about the secrets of the five elements. But they rebelled, aligned themselves with Mei and lead human beings to fight against the gods. Consequently the Yellow Emperor was appointed by Pan Gu to deal with them. Chi You and the Yellow Emperor used to be close friends, but now they had to meet on the battleground. After telling the story, Xing Tian says this path is locked and to chase Chi You they have to bypass Stoneman Village.
In Bronze Drum Village, the monster reveals its true colors. It turns out to be Mei, Chi You"s acomplice. Mei, cock-a-hoop, tells Lan Wei"s team the story. Lan Xiong, Chi Huan, Yin Cheng and Cheng Yu were actually all killed by Mei. It is also Mei who convinced Yan Hong of the story that the Empyrean Stones if pieced together could revive the dead, and in this way she succeeded in smashing the seal incarcerating Chi You"s soul. She also tried every possible means to bring Yan Hong"s body under Chi You"s control. Now everything becomes so clear and a fierce fight seems inevitable(to improve the completion rate of the game, it is recommended that the four evil monsters in the village be killed first ).
Branch 11: Leave Chengdu for Bronze Tiger Mountain. There is a redbud flower. Gai Nie picks it off for Cai Xin. Then a man named Tian Cheng appears, who would rather exchange all his herbs for that redbud flower. He wants to send this flower to his beloved girl friend. Cai Xin decides to give him the flower. Afterwards, you can choose to accept the herb from Tian Sheng or not.
Branch 12: Get to Bronze Drum Village and meet E Han at her house. She says her embroidery needle is broken and she is unable to embroider for Tian Cheng now. Now you can tell her of the story that an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle, or you can choose to grind a needle for her. The sharpening stone is just at the opposite bank of the river east of the village. After you grind the needle, hand it to E Han.
Branch 13: Kill the Summon Fiend at the northeast of Bronze Tiger Mountain, and save Ah Jiao and Ah Nan. Ah Jiao is the daughter of the wizard of the village. Because the wizard refused his consent to her marriage with Ah Nan, the two young people tried to run away. Send the two young people back to the village and talk to the wizard, he will admit that it was his mistake to have summoned the fiend, and he also asks people to investigate the reason why the fiend has gone crazy. Now talk to the soldier and get the demon ring (there are two soldiers in the village, talk to the lower one). Then talk to Jiang Tuo and from the talk you will find out that the demon ring is the cause of the fiend going crazy. Tell this to the Chief Wizard of the village (Jiang Tuo will not appear here unless you have talked to him at Beigu Grasslands. Jiang Tuo appears four times in the game at Whitesand Valley, Tallcloud Village, Beigu Grasslands, and Bronze Drum Village).
Come to Stoneman Village and kill the demons. At the entry of Deathwind Cave near the village, the keeper of the cave says that the people in the Yellow Emperor"s prediction are finally coming, which puzzles everybody. Come to the clan elder and he will invite you to his house for a conversation. At his home you are told that the Yellow Emperor has already predicted that the day will come when Chi You"s spirit will be sealed again. Chi You"s body is kept in the penetralia of the temple. People will defeat him as long as they abandon all their greed and hatred.
Branch 14: If you have ever met the six street vendors in turns at Redclay Village, Jinyang City, Jiuyuan City, Tallcloud Mountain, Chengdu City and Galetown(not a single one is to be left out), you will find a seventh street vendor at Stoneman Village. Talk with him and exchange your special properties with him for some superior forging materials.
Branch 15: There is an old man lying on the ground in the south of Stoneman Village. Liang Hu comes forward to save him but he is lithified. Go to the wizard"s for help. Then go and kill the Stone Spirit near the stone heap in the forest, which is beside the statue of the Yellow Emperor in the north. In this way Liang Hu will be saved from the lithification. Another way to save Liang Hu is to talk to a man with a bugle, then go to meet the Stone Spirit near the stone heap in the forest, after which you go and kill the wizard, get the musical instrument from him and hand it over to the Stone Spirit.
Go inside Deathwind Cave, where there are five storeys in all. Yan Hong is at the fourth storey fighting against Chi You. Lan Wei"s team defeats Chi You but Chi You escapes again. Out of Deathwind Cave there is a large waterfall. The scenery here is quite pleasing and agreeable. Go straight to the top right and then to the bottom right, you will meet Mei on a bridge near the waterfall. She says it is forever impossible to overcome Chi You. Defeat her and go to the ancient temple from the right hand side.
Branch 16: If you ever met a trader and talked with him at the bottom left part of Chengdu City, and he said that you would meet him again sometime in the future, you will meet him in the top right corner of the waterfall. He is Liu Jing, a furtive trader from whom you can buy lots of superior equipment. But you can only buy once and he appears only in the first round of the game.
Chapter NineLan Wei"s team enters the ancient temple. There is a monument obstructing the way into the underground maze that reads, "The God of Fire is furious. The Baiyuns must pay for their sins. The God of War is reborn in the ever-changing fire”. Outside the room there is a goddess statue. Inscribed on the back of the statue are these words: Barren fields, flooding waters, bloody pools, watch the God of War as he is reborn. Digesting these words, Lan Wei and her companions will realize that Chi You should be hiding in the Temple of the God of War beside the waterfall. Go back to the waterfall again, enter the Temple of the God of War, defeat the Guardian monster and gain the Damaged shield and Vessel for Blood Sacrifice. Exit from the front entrance and re-enter, then with the Vessel for Blood Sacrifice you can enter the underground maze.
Now Lan Wei meets her father, Lan Xiong. But he is under the control of Chi You. Defeat him and get through. Keep fighting until you reach the ninth storey. It will be easier for you to get out of the maze if you stick to the "right-hand rules”. At the ninth storey of the maze, enter the room where Chi You is sealed. Lan Wei eventually compels the spirit of Chi You out of Yan Hong due to the great power of love. A fierce fight between human and god begins in the room. When the ancient temple collapses, Chi You"s ambition also falls to pieces. He has no choice but to reconcile to being sealed again.
