Mystic Nine Episode 15

Making changes

Huo is told by the otherworld patriarch that she is destined to tragedy where no matter what she tries she will fail as much as her aunts did. Rather than discouraging her, she decides it’s time to change fate and abolished the guild as it was previously known. She is going to find a way to change her destiny and the clan align with her. Wu finds a narcotic plant that will help train the creature. What we do t know is if the smaller one captured is the mate or child of the one still in pond. Hatoyama’s eyes glazed over in happiness at the very thoughts of controlling it and did not care in the least how many would be lost to achieve that end. Wu at least knows exactly what they really want. He is completely disgusted by their unconcern for human life as well as their plans for these creatures that would most likely have left people alone had their space not been invaded. Huo makes a visit to the Wu stronghold.she has a chuckle at his latest woodcarving and invites the dog to visit when food runs out. She and the dog encourage each other with the hope of Wu returning. Wu has made tasty meatballs for the creature with the new herb. Then the ijit tries out the drugged meat to see what it does. 🙄👀🙄 it was fun to watch him slap the guard with the whistle to say it was inadequate and needed redone. That rated a smile. The testing of the drug on himself a smack.😡🫣🧐Did Cui bring an antidote too? Or just a native plant to clue him in on location. He’s the last one to know he’s in Xiangxi. Zhang makes it to 82nd stockade and is the only one to meet with the chieftain. It is confirmed the Japanese are there but not how the gained access. He wants to give an offering to the mountain god and have Zhang deliver it. Nobody has successfully entered the area since and non returned alive. After Zhang leaves that pile of earth moves. Is QianSui going to emerge? Cause he’s creepy enough to do that. Wu finally gets a whistle made that contacts the creature. His dream is where he and Huo have completely opposite ideas of the end of the play. She sees things as tragically ceasing to exist so embrace the last fleeting seconds with everything you have. Wu’s view is if the play strikes a strong enough chord in his heart it will never end. So he concludes that anything he holds dear could never come to a tragic end. Right when they are supposed to kiss she tells him to run and Hatoyama shows up to mock him for helping the Japanese claim their stars. Wu makes a map and sends Cui to find Huo. I wish he would have considered Zhang more proactive about trying to save him. The top Japanese official gets 12 hrs in Changsha and pays Huo a visit congratulating her leadership. He offers cure for the black plague if they partner. Bet they were instrumental in Huo clan getting it.😝 He is holding out hand for a deal when scene shifts to Zhang. They are doing exactly as chieftain wanted but Zhang knows his group is to be the sacrifice. The villagers accompanying them have taken poison to die within a week and this is their last mission. Zhang wants to kill the deity to thwart the Japanese and Qi tries to hint enemy of my enemy is my friend approach. Zhang wants scorched earth. Food is exchanged between the groups and the villagers are not opposed to them killing the deity. If successful their people will no longer be afraid, if not dying for a deity not such a bad way to go. Zhang did not expect them to be so pragmatic. Wu has proven he can control the creature. I would really like him to say eat all the Japanese when that door opens. 😝What they want to do is use this one as bait to catch the bigger one. Will be very interesting if both groups converge at same time by the big creature. I also really hope Huo figures out a way to not bargain with the Japanese that believe they have her over a barrel with their ledgers as evidence.
