Guardians of the Ancient Oath 山海经之上古密约 Episode 16 Recap

An Tingfeng loosened the shackles on Ji Qiu’s master and apprentice and deliberately talked to guide Ji Qiu’s desire to accept Baili Hongshuo as his apprentice. The girl is Qiu Xiaotong, a descendant of the Qiu family in Lingnan, a family of demon hunters. But not only did An Tingfeng see that Qiu Xiaotong had no extraordinary qualifications, Ji Qiu actually knew it all the time. He wanted to rely on Qiu Xiaotong to restore the prestige of his ancestors, but it was as difficult as reaching the sky. With a few words of guidance, An Tingfeng made Ji Qiu decide to accept Baili Hongshuo as his disciple.
However, accepting apprentices is all about timing, and An Tingfeng pointed out a clear path for Ji Qiu. Now, those who massacre the people on the border of Licheng are the work of monsters. This monster is shaped like an ape, and its body is covered with patterns. It likes to pretend to be asleep when it sees people. It is called Youyou. If he wanted to accept Baili Hongshuo as his apprentice, then this matter was the only breakthrough point.
This is the end of Anting’s gossip, and he disappeared after returning the treasure. Seeing that this matter is feasible, Ji Qiu immediately turned around and made up his mind to go back to Licheng to accept disciples. Qiu Xiaotong was not convinced at first that Ji Qiu listened to An Tingfeng’s words, but after thinking about it, he could have another handsome young man as his junior, and felt that the trip was not a loss.
In the barracks, Baili Hongshuo was discussing with the generals about border defense, when Hou Zhengzheng informed him that the two swindlers he met on the street had left and returned, curious about their purpose, he went to check. When Ji Qiu saw Baili Hongshuo coming, he went straight to the point and expressed his thoughts on accepting him as a disciple.
Ji Qiu pretends to be a ghost, and pretends to count his fingers, pointing out that the murder in Licheng is the work of the evil spirit Youjie. Although Ji Qiu didn’t have any real knowledge, he was an upright teacher after all, and he could handle Baili Hongshuo’s theoretical questions about the demon gods in the world with ease.
Baili Hongshuo saw that he answered clearly, so he also let them into the camp and asked about the solution. Just listen to Ji Qiu’s promise that within three days, the altar will be opened to collect demons. If it works, then Baili Hongshuo will pay homage to Ji Qiu, and if it fails, it will be dealt with by military law.
The words stopped here, and Ji Qiu wanted to leave again, but was imprisoned in the barracks by Baili Hongshuo on the grounds of being polite.
The Lang clan sent orders, and Xi Lili relayed Mora Khan’s thoughts to Anabai. At this moment, he knew that his father had never given up on him. Anabai was finally able to understand his father’s painstaking efforts, and he only knelt down and apologized to calm down the conspiracy and assassination. However, it was too late, no matter what the purpose was, some people would not let him come out alive.
In Ming Yefeng’s tent, Chou Nu said that he would take this opportunity to assassinate Ana. Almost everyone believed that as long as there was no Ana, no one would be able to hinder Ming Yefeng’s footsteps. However, Ming Yefeng has always had a long-term vision. Even though he has won the hearts of all the people and holds the Order of Thousand Mountains in his hand, Mora Khan can still sit firmly on the position of Maharaja. If the Lang tribe wanted to be king, in addition to the hearts of the people, they also needed the support of the elders and priests. At this time, if Ana is badly killed, it is really the next strategy.
At this time, Gao Qiantong, the son of Xi Lili, came uninvited and confidently speculated that Ming Yefeng had the intention of killing people. At the same time, there was chaos outside the tent, and the ugly slave found out after investigating that Anaba had committed suicide in the tent. With just one look, Ming Yefeng already knew what he knew. It’s just that they don’t know what the father and son intend to do, one actively supports Anabai, while the other personally kills him. But this move was enough to make Ming Yefeng take precautions against him.
And all of this was secretly planned by Yi Jiumo under the order of Ling Jun. Once Ana died, everyone would think that Ming Yefeng ordered it. Let him admit his ambition, and it will be easier to submit when there is no way out. Jiuying’s break is about to come, but Ming Yefeng remains unmoved, so they can only act like this to urge it.
Seeing his son’s dead body, Mora Khan was heartbroken and threw down the torch with his own hands, and Anabai’s body was instantly swallowed by the fire dragon. He called Ming Yefeng into the account alone, obviously as a temptation, but actually to appease. Mora Khan believes that the person who killed Anabai must be Ming Yefeng, and seeing his leaving back, he hates him deeply. But in the absence of evidence, instead of forcing Ming Yefeng to rebel with no way out, it’s better to pretend to trust and then slowly plot it.
In Yecheng Hou’s Mansion, Jinyang hoped that Baili Hongyi could look like his daughter’s family, so he took her to choose fabrics, and then patiently taught the female red to embroider. However, Jinyang has already shown off complicated tricks, but Baili Hongyi just pierced many holes in the silk and fled away.
Only when Baili Hongyi hid here with Baili Hongxuan did he escape from Jinyang temporarily. However, after getting to know each other better, Baili Hongyi no longer has a bad opinion of Jinyang News. Now in the mansion, there is a hostess who can take care of the aftermath for them, and it does save them from being distracted by trivial matters.
Now that New Year’s Eve is approaching, Empress Dowager He asked the Hou Mansion to go to the banquet. For some reason, Empress Dowager He even took the initiative to ask Baili Hongyi, who had never attended a palace banquet, to go with her this time. Although she didn’t know what it meant, and regardless of Baili Hongyi’s willingness or not, she would definitely go to this banquet.
Within the territory of Licheng, the agreed three-day period has come, Baili Hongshuo led an army and followed Ji Qiu to the border forest. Ji Qiu sent everyone away on the grounds that the practice should not be leaked. But Baili Hongshuo sealed up the whole forest, and now even if Ji Qiu retreated and wanted to escape, it was impossible.
After discussing with each other, the two masters and apprentices planned to use the methods of deceit and abduction in the past to deceive the past. After they had prepared everything, they called Baili Hongshuo again to witness it with their own eyes. Sitting in the circle surrounded by stones, Ji Qiu pretended to be doing something, secretly lit a fire behind his back and threw it on the periphery of the circle. In an instant, the fire spread, forming a circular wall of fire centered on Ji Qiu.
