Bramantyo

Finally, after about a year... honestly, even though he is amazing in serious roles, I prefer him in funny ones.

His wife passed away before him. Although he did not possess the extreme longevity of the Zhang family's main lineage—like Zhang Qiling—Zhang Qishan still lived much longer than an ordinary human. As a reader of the novel, I did notice several adjustments made in the drama adaptation; while some parts remained faithful to the original storyline, others were altered or skipped entirely. I cannot say that the drama fully adapted the "Nine Gates" story, as the author left behind too many loose ends, unfinished plotlines, and disjointed timelines—leaving many aspects unclear to me even as a fan. If you are curious, I highly recommend reading the novel itself.

Yes, he belongs to the Zhang family. However, because he is mixed blood and from a branch family, he did not inherit the Zhang family's longevity. Although records indicate he passed away at a fairly advanced age, he left no descendants. His wife predeceased him, and so far, there are no chapters detailing the continuation of Zhang Qishan's lineage—I only came across a few lines of description while reading the novel.

It is sad that there is no confirmation yet of a Mystic Nine Season 3 featuring the same cast, but here is some information regarding the Season 2 adaptation of *Wu Xie's Private Notes*.

If you are referring to a follow-up to the *The Mystic Nine* (2026) series, there has been no confirmation of a third season. In my personal opinion, Season 1 (2016) and Season 2 (2026) already provided a sufficient conclusion to the story of the "Nine Gates." Fundamentally, the *Daomu Biji* (Tomb Raiders' Notes) saga focuses on the adventures of Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Wang Pangzi as they unravel the mysteries of ancient tombs. An adaptation featuring the same cast (William Chan/Joseph Zheng) might be unlikely in the near future, given that we have already seen two adaptations this year; however, if you are interested, you might want to watch *Ultimate Note* or other adaptations from the *Daomu Biji* franchise.

*Wu Xie's Private Notes 2* has entered post-production and will likely air in late 2026 or 2027. Did you notice Lao Guo's grandson appearing at the end of the story? The next series will focus on his journey. The first season is already available on Tencent Video/WeTV; you can watch it before Season 2 comes out.

He lived. He married. And upon his death, he was buried in a hidden area within Warehouse No. 11.

Instead of a clan purge, the focus shifted to patriotism and uniting against the Japanese. Although not explicitly stated, the novel's ending is more brutal and morally ambiguous, whereas in the drama, we see that a trick was actually being played.

The Sixth Master was executed, the Third and Fourth Masters went into hiding, and the Eighth Master fled abroad. In the original story, it was actually the Ninth Master who helped the Fifth Master leave Changsha, and the Fifth Master eventually married one of the Ninth Master's cousins.

I’m really glad they changed the novel's original ending. Even though there are a few tragedies typical of Nanpai Sanshu, this is one adaptation that doesn't leave you with a lingering sense of incompleteness or an unresolved ending.

I want to watch it, but why is the rating so low when it's a hit drama featuring so many famous stars?

No, you can watch it as a separate series.

Given that *Ultimate Note* is one of the most successful series, they might leave it off the list. I’m actually more looking forward to a remake of *Lost Tomb 2: Palace in the Clouds*; I thought that series was terrible.

As I understand it, the downfall of the Nine Gates was driven by several factors. The first—and perhaps most crucial—was the government's wariness of the Nine Gates' power, prompting an attempt to purge them via ZQS, even though ZQS was initially reluctant to carry out the task. However, due to the interference of "It" (the Wang Clan) and the betrayal by Qu Dekao—who exposed the Nine Clans' illegal activities—the authorities ultimately forced ZQS's hand. He knew that if he didn't step in, his superiors would simply send someone else to carry out a total extermination. So, he took action: he killed some members of the Nine Gates as a cover while simultaneously seeking a way to save those he cared about—even though this meant betraying Wu Laoguo and his friends.

It might be because the main *Daomu Biji* series mentions that the Old Nine Gates would eventually collapse—with Zhang Qishan forced to carry out a purge due to pressure from superiors, and Laoguo ultimately leaving Changsha with regrets—unless the script has been altered, as was done with *Nanyang Archive*.

I am not ready for a Nanpai Sanshu-style tragic ending.

Even though I know the story will have a bad ending, I still can't stop watching.

I think he suits the Republican-era costume and Taoist mystical elements perfectly.

Why Wu Tie killed by Zhang Qishan?
