Episode 4

Going back ten years, on a rainy night, the ancient house of the Wu family was immersed in heavy sadness. Old Mrs. Wu was dying and bedridden.Wu Xie's father knelt in front of the bed and asked softly what his father's last wish was.The old man pointed tremblingly at the pair of antiques on the table, indicating that they should be divided equally between the two brothers. Then, he ordered in an unquestionable tone: Once he passes away, he must be cremated within two hours, and no one is allowed within thirty meters of the cremation site.There are no people around, let alone peeking into the furnace.The young Wu Xie witnessed all this, and a seed about the secret was planted in his heart. Although the years passed and the mystery remained unsolved, the curiosity followed him like a shadow, occasionally emerging in his dreams.

At this moment, Wu Xie was temporarily staying in the ancient temple. When the morning light first broke, he stepped out of the Zen room. He was attracted by a strange scene - a figure sitting quietly, staring at the distant mountains, motionless. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the stone statue of Zhang Qiling, which was said to have been erected.Decades.Wu Xie wrote endlessly in reverie, imagining that Zhang Qiling used stone as paper and Qi as pen, and finally completed this work with his unique ingenuity.During the meal, the restaurant was extremely lively and there were many traveling friends. Different from usual, it seemed that their arrival was not just for sightseeing. Wu Xie became alarmed and called Fatty for help.The fat man revealed the mystery with one word, suggesting that all this may have been carefully planned, and Wu Xie suddenly felt that he was entering an unknown chess game.

In the following days, Wu Xie acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact he was observing secretly.He cleverly laid traps, tested the movements of people around him, and found that everything was under surveillance and was inseparable from the Ma family.He followed the fat man's plan and remained calm. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and looked for an opportunity to get out of trouble.One day, Fatty sneaked in using the art of cross-dressing, contacted Wu Xie through a secret code, and informed him that he was being followed by many forces, including foreigners, and that his home was also bugged.The two decided to work together, one overtly and the other secretly, to gradually reveal the truth.

The next day, Wu Xie went to the old gentleman's place for an appointment, and unexpectedly encountered his "self-mirror" - a person whose face, voice and even demeanor were exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell whether he was real or fake.In the chaos, armed men broke in and fiercely questioned the two people, trying to distinguish the authenticity.A woman made a surprising hypothesis, believing that “fake” may have been wearing a mask for 20 years and it has become integrated with her skin.In the room, two “Wu Xie” were confronting each other, while the outside world was filled with chaos and suspicion.
