The Taoism Grandmaster

Episode 26

We're almost there. Hold on.

I'm the best. I'm the most...

Look at you, being so silly and clumsy.

Well, you're the best.

Don't make a fool of me.

- What do you want to do?- Don't laugh at me. Stop laughing.

Stop it.

Demons!

Run!

Help!

Demons in the mountain. I've never seen so many demons before.

Since yesterday, in Baishi Town, three li away from Mount Tai,

an influx of demons intruded and killed lots of villagers.

I'll send the competitors to help them and punish the evil.

These demons are lower creatures, but act quickly, being cunning and suspicious.

They're tough to deal with.

This action, is also your new task for the next trial.

You'll be ranked in terms of the number of demons you killed.

Are you clear?

Yes!

Senior Disciple, have more food, and we need to kill the demons in Baishi Town.

Our Master said, this is because the Vanguard Army has come here,

making the imbalance between the good and the evil.

I've heard, that more than 100 demons are swarming out.

How many days will be spent when we wipe out all of them?

Who cares.

This is the best opportunity to show our actual strength.

These demons comes at this time, and it'll be their last time, isn't it, Han Shang?

Shang?

Yes. You're right. Their last time.

Wang Wei, where are you going?

- Kill the demons.- But we haven't finished yet.

- Let's go.- Let's go.

Go.

Though the demons are lower creatures, they're good at group combat.

We'd better be careful.

Shall we...?

Be quick.

They've left.

Shall we go?

Fei... take care.

- Have the confidence?- Of course.

We just beat the nine-tails fox, and ate the Elixir of Golden Wood, let alone those demons.

Let's go.

OK.

- Let's have a look.- OK.

- Look.- Look at this.

Senior Disciple is really brilliant.

Are you OK?

I'll go there. And you, there.

Good job.

Look. The ranking list hasn't changed yet.

- Right.- It hasn't changed at all. Who are in Uncommon Tao?

You don't know? Look. Here they are.

- They're coming.- Let's go.

Good. You're in the last place.

Low-end.

But there are too many demons for us to kill.

Yeah. And they're so fast that we can't cope with.

Exactly.

Other teams have learned many immortal techniques before the special training.

What about us?

Somebody who has the No. 1 swordsmanship in the world, has never taught us.

Exactly.

What is swordsmanship?

It's you can ward off when being attacked,

and seize the opportunity to attack.

This is the first-rate swordsmanship, isn't it?

It's what you did with Two Forces Balls in the special training, isn't it?

What else you want me to teach?

And you, forget your damn technique of Invincible Sword.

Save your breath and fight with those demons.

Why did she scold me?

We made it.

The second last place now. They made up one position.

- Where are we?- I don't know. Ask him

Where are we?

We've made progress!

Great!

- Cheers.- Cheers.- Cheers.

The wine tastes better.

From the last to the second last place.

- This time, Master of Berserk won't scold us.- She'll praise us.

Right. We've made progress. Shouldn't she praise us.

Cheers.

We'll see.

I've found you, finally.

I feel better.

I'm so tired.

If only we could have a rest tomorrow.

Forget it.

Our targets. Remember it.

Senior Disciple, how can I forget it?

Become the Taoism Seeker, vanish the evil and protect Tao, win the Second War,

and expel the Wolf's World forever.

These are our targets for joining the Taoism Trial Competition.

Well, great words.

You just want to be the Taoism Seeker, and win some honor for Sword School.

Say it again!

Am I wrong?

Most competitors want to win honor

become the chief of the Alliance, and be the Taoism Seeker.

Beautiful words,

but you should permit the truth.

Yu.

Don't.

You, think differently?

Yes.

I just want Han Shang to be the Taoism Seeker. That's what I think.

Even if I think the same as you,

I don't keep saying those great words.

Why do you snort? Aren't you the same as them?

Yu, stop it.

I'm different from them.

I like killing demons. That's it.

Because my family were killed by demons,

so I'll become the Taoism Seeker,

be more powerful, and kill more demons.

In that way, I can calm myself down.

You can't understand.

Qianqiu, why didn't you ask me to do this?

It's OK. Have a seat.

It's your medicine. Immortal Medical Team is busy, so I bring it here for you.

Thank you.

Not at all.

You got injured for protecting me.

And I bring the medicine here for you. That's what I should do.

Well, I had to quit because of my injury, so I can't protect you any more.

Silly girl. How can I be a qualified competitor if I need your protection?

You don't believe me?

No. I believe in you.

Great.

By the way, I have something for you to do.

My injury is almost healed up. Just tell me.

OK.

The first thing is that you should take care of you, and recover.

This is what you must accomplish.

I will.

The second thing

is that I've informed all the disciples in the Untrammeled School.

From now on, you take charge of the School.

- What?- Don't be so surprised.

I... have to fight in the competition, and I don't know what will happen.

Though I'm not afraid of death, I should make some arrangements in advance.

But why don't you choose Wanshi?

Wanshi isn't a master in business.

Except her, I don't have other relatives.

The only one I trust in the world... is you.

Thanks for your trust.

Thank you for your care in these years.

It's the call from God of Mirror. Is the fourth trial going to start?

Qianqiu, take care.

Trust me. I won't leave you alone.

I have found the second Saint Armor, the second Saint Armor,

from the chance of the first one.

The second Saint Armor, is in the ancient City of Loulan, Western Regions.

And your task, is related closely to Empress Ling Yu of the Evil World.

Outside the Three Realms, there is the Evil World.

But they pay no attention to the Three Realms.

So, we don't interfere them, either.

Well, the Evil World can connects elves which have existed from ancient times.

So the Evil World is actually a powerful one.

And the Empress in the World, Ling Yu,

lives a sequestered life in Eternal Palace, Regretless Woods.

No one knows how long Empress Ling Yu has lived.

She is the only Empress in the Evil World when it existed.

Few people have met her.

All the things about her, are mysteries.

Well, twenty years ago, an injured soldier of the ancient City of Loulan,

intruded the labyrinthic Regretless Woods.

Because of fate,

the soldier met Empress Ling Yu, who inspects in the Woods every ten years.

It's said that Ling Yu's beauty is as brilliant as the stars in the sky.

So the soldier, Bo Ti, was attracted by her beauty, spontaneously.

Well, their karma, and sins, began.

Bo Ti is a good storyteller.

In his stories,

Ling Yu knew lots of interesting things in the mortal world.

These stories made Empress Ling Yu, who lived a sequestered life, interested in the mortal world.

Bo Ti's stories were, sometimes happy, and sometimes sad.

During the recovery of Bo Ti,

Empress Ling Yu fell in love with the man from the mortal world.

And her beauty, made Bo Ti forget himself,

drowning in the happy life.

But, Bo Ti found that Ling Yu had fallen in love with him.

At that time,

Bo Ti realized, that he didn't belong to this world.

He was afraid of accepting Ling Yu's affection.

So, Bo Ti left the Regretless Woods,

on the excuse of visiting his ageing parents.

Seeing Ling Yu's face,

Bo Ti said to her the words, which he should not had told her,

Ling Yu,

I should go home.

My parents are old,

and I need to take care of them.

Alright. You should go.

But...

Trust me.

I'll go back.

I'll be waiting for you.

One year passed by, and one more year passed by.

Empress Ling Yu lived for so many years,

but she had never felt time was so endless before.

Two years is excruciating for her.

Finally, she decided to find her Bo Ti by witchcraft.

And she found that Bo Ti had married the princess of Loulan, and become the king.

That very day is, their daughter, Princess Yaoyue's full-moon-birth party.

There there.

Sweetheart.

- Cheers.- Cheers.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's propose a toast to our King, Queen and Princess.

- Cheers. - - Cheers.

- What's this?- What's the matter?

What's this?

What's wrong?

Protect our King!

Go!

I'd like to die for atonement.

Please, don't hurt my people,

and my daughter.

Bo Ti knew, no matter what he said,

Empress Ling Yu wouldn't be merciful.

For the people of Loulan, and for their newborn Princess Yaoyue,

- Bo Ti and his Queen,- Bo Ti!

Sacrificed themselves, to let Empress Ling Yu forget resentment.

However, her resentment wasn't removed because of their sacrifice.

She put all her resentment on the newborn Princess Yaoyue.

She made a curse on her, that the Princess couldn't leave her room forever,

or she will be reduced to ashes.

Only if someone, on the Princess's 18th birthday,

passes the trials Empress Ling Yu set, and marries the Princess,

the curse will disappear.

Next month will be Princess Yaoyue's 18th birthday.

Loulan has sent Invitations to all the princes,

for inviting them to take part in Bridegroom Competition and tests of Empress Ling Yu.

The one who passes the tests and marries the Princess,

will get the invaluable treasure of Loulan, Firebird.

The bird, was transformed by the Saint Armor.

Competitors, your task in the fourth trail, is taking part in the Bridegroom Competition,

passing the tests, and obtaining the second Saint Armor.

Are you clear?

Yes!

It hurts.

I'm aching.

I'm aching.

No.

Princess.

Princess.

Why did you do that? Why?

I've never left this room.

I want to see the world outside.

Princess, don't worry.

Next month, will be your 18th birthday.

Prime Minister Jill has arranged the Bridegroom Competition.

At that time, there will be a man.

He will pass the tests, break the curse, and bring you out of the room,

to see the first sunrise in your life.

Really, An Ke? Aren't the princes afraid of Empress Ling Yu?

Everyone knows your beauty. No man doesn't want to marry you.

Prime Minister Jill said, many princes have accepted the invitation.

But, can they pass the trials of Empress Ling Yu?

If no one passes,

then, I'll have to be imprisoned in this room for all my life.

It's you. Empress Ling Yu.

- She's here.- Take care.

My princess, do you still believe love?

If you do, you don't need to be afraid of my curse.

Well, well. Love, is nothing but a lie.

Shut up! She's been tortured by your curse for eighteen years.

Why do you break her last hope so relentlessly?

Hope? Do you think it really exists?

This is my present for your birthday. Dream Candy.

You cannot leave this room.

But on the day of Bridegroom Competition, eat one,

you'll see all the things in your dream.

At that time, you'll see how your so-called hope turns into smoke.

Though you destiny is waiting for your death here, alone,

you still need to confess for your father's sins, for the rest of your life.

No. I don't want to be here. I want to leave here.

- Leave here.- Princess. Don't be afraid. I'm here.

Empress Ling Yu, I'll break your vicious curse and take her out of this room.

Princess, Don't be afraid.

There are less competitors.

We have a long way to go.

Why don't the Chiefs of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains come with us together?

The five chiefs need to be here, and cope with the Vanguard Army.

But if others are appointed, their strength may be lower than us.

And they may drag us down.

Senior Disciple, if we pass the trials, and get the Firebird,

and the beautiful Princess Yaoyue wants to marry you, what will you do?

I won't marry her.

Why?

No reason.

Give Tie Lang.

Hey, Tie Lang.

Ju Xiong said, when we passes the trials, he will give the Princess to you.

Me?

I'm afraid I cannot accept that.

Anyway. Thank you, Ju Xiong.

I, Have someone in my heart.

Give the Princess to Bufan.

No, I cannot.

To be honest, I also have someone in my heart.

Really? Really?

Te...

I know what you want to say. I won't tell anyone.

I see. Stop it.

Xiaoyu.

Yun Qi.

Who did you talk with?

You have sharp eyes.

We're going to leave, but I feel anxious.

So I cheered for myself just now.

Don't be anxious. Kunlun and I will help you.

This is Thunder Beads. Keep it in your bag.

Thanks.

You've made great progress.

The delicate Feng Xiaoyu has disappeared.

Thanks for your encouragement.

I'll put the Beads in my bag.

OK.

We haven't been outside for a long time. Why do you take me for a walk?

Let's have some chat in my Fox Den. That's will be better.

- Liuli.- Yeah.

We'll set off tomorrow. Have you prepared your luggage?

I'm a fox, not as troublesome as you. I don't need to prepare anything

but you.

Liuli, don't do that. I feel no sense of safety.

I don't know what's that.

I only know that I want to stick on you, just like I was a part of you.

In my life, I've never met a girl like you.

I'm not a girl, I'm a fox.

This is the way we love someone. Never leave or betray you.

If you die, I'll die with you.

Liuli,

you know I cannot accept your love.

It's OK. I don't care.

I'm an evil fox.

As long as I believe in this, I'll try my best to be with you.

No matter it's possible or not.

Zhang Ling. Wait a minute.

Before you leave,

is there something you want to do?

Master, I've had a doubt for a long time.

What's this?

The Wolf's World hasn't taken any actions these days.

Does the nine-tails evil fox really disappear?

God of Mirror said,

the Vanguard Army hasn't taken any actions.

But, this is the premonition of a catastrophe.

The nine-tails fox doesn't disappear.

She is waiting and preparing.

I'm wondering that the reason why that fox

wants to destroy the mortal world is just for a prediction of God Yang Jian?

That fox doesn't want to destroy the mortal world,

All she wants to do is to disturb the Three Realms,

to let all the creatures living in distress,

just like what she did a thousand years ago.

The more chaotic the Three Realms is, the happier she will be.

What happened to her? Why does she become like this?

That's not important.

It has been a thousand years. Time is the antidote to everything,

but it's not the cure of the hatred.

The Wolf's World release the fox out,

because they want to fight with us a do-or-die battle.

And we can do nothing but wait for the Taoism Seeker

putting on the Saint Armor to beat them.

Do human beings, and the Wolf's World,

really need to fight and slay each other?

The Second War matters the fate of the mortal world.

If the Taoism Seeker shows any mercy,

the mortal world will vanish.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Enjoy yourselves. And I'll go back and rest.

Thank you so much. Thanks for sparing your place to us.

And thanks for the delicious dishes. Thank you so much.

- Thank you.- Not at all.

It's my pleasure.

Enjoy your meal. I'm going to leave.

See you.

We'll set out tomorrow.

Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.

OK.

- Cheers.- Cheers.

Let's go back.

Senior Disciple, I'd like to drink more, and talk more with you.

Here's the Untrammeled School. Don't worry.

Let's drink. Just enjoy ourselves.

No. I can't.

For so many years, I've always competed with you,

but I've always been the loser.

So, today,

I want to compete with you again by drinking.

How?

The loser stays here tonight.

And the winner takes Ying back to the Learning Dorm.

OK?

No.

We go back together.

If you refuse, you'll lose.

Tomorrow I'll tell Ying,

that Ju Xiong didn't want to take her back,

let alone keep her safe.

How do you think about it?

Senior Disciple, I just knew that.

Cheers.

You know what, I should have left you two and go.

She's calling your name every day.

It makes me bored.

Ju Xiong,

cheers.

Drink it.

You're drunk.

I'm the winner.

Ying, I beat him. Let me take you back.

This is the most dangerous task,

since the start of the Competition.

On your way, you'll not only face life-and-death tests,

but also the witch's trials in Loulan.

We five are miles away from you.

We cannot offer you any help.

You're on your own.

Finally, I need to remind you

that getting the Firebird is the important task indeed,

but you should put your lives in the first place.

When your lives are in danger, don't force yourselves.

The Second War's going to start.

In terms of ability, each of you is a tower of strength.

You should survive.

- Understood?- Yes!

Yes!

Try your best to get the Firebird.

Don't let me down.

Yes, Master.

I've taught you for so long.

Now, I'll teach you the last lesson.

If you cannot win, just run.

Don't lose your lives. You should survive.

You're my disciples,

so you must come back to me, safely.

Take it easy. We'll come back, safely.

Why did you drink so much?

It's Senior Disciple...

Do you know this task is very dangerous?

Do it by yourself.

Harder.

You'll be punished next time if caught by me.

Thanks for your instruction.

It's not so-called instruction.

I just want to do something interesting.

Well, I'd like to know that how long you'll hold out facing Empress Ling Yu.

Well... Did you know her before?

That witch is tricky and evil. Not like me in training.

Just take care. You need to survive to do something more important.

It's a very arduous task.

So you should promise me to come back in safety.

- Yes.- Yes. Don't worry.

- Take care.- Yes, Master.

- Just go.- Okay, Master.

Goodbye, Master.

Senior Disciple, how about taking a rest?

We've walked so long. We should have some rest.

Sit down.

Bufan, where are you going?

I'm going to pick some fruits.

I'm so tired.

What's wrong with you?

Don't drink it.

Thank you, Qianqiu.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Ju Xiong. - Ying.

Here you are.

Ju Xiong, don't eat it.

The fruits in the mountain may be poisonous. Be careful.

Bufan, throw it away.

It's OK.

Ladies and gentlemen, The road ahead has been out of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.

For our safety, we'll go forward in teams.

- In teams?- Yes.

The way ahead is unknown. And the nine-tails evil fox is in the dark.

If she ambushes us, I'm afraid we'll be attacked unprepared.

So, we need a team to detect the situation for us.

If there's something wrong, inform us by Bright Moon Mirror.

We'll do this.

Hold on. Let us fight in the van.

Wang Wei won't let any opportunity of being alone slip.

Shang, do you think, we should also leave, taking this opportunity,

and start our journey in advance?

No. We should keep the unnecessary danger away.

Besides, another team should make a rear guard for us, for fear that we're attacked sneakily by the Wolf's Army.

- We'll...- We Sword School.

We're tacit and reliable.

Yes. We're very tacit with each other, so we guarantee to fulfill this task.

OK. Ju Xiong, you three make the rear guard.

If there are any problems, let us know immediately.

Oke. If there's no disagreement, let's take the road right now.

Thanks.

Let's go.

- Go.- Let's go.
