The Legend of Chusen

Episode 37

How is the investigation going?

I looked inside and outside the hotel. There's nothing out of the ordinary.

There shouldn't be any problems.

I wonder how Xiao Huan is doing.

What do you think we should do next?

There seems to be no traces of the Mysterious Fire Mirror here.

Xiao Huan didn't leave any markers behind either.

Looks like...we have to first search the adjacent areas.

I hope there will be some clues there.

In this big desert, where will we search?

There's suddenly such a prosperous village here.

Don't you find it kind of strange?

It is a bit strange. There shouldn't be any problems.

Li Xun is also investigating the whereabouts of the Mysterious Fire Mirror.

If it is activated, he should be able to sense it.

Fine. We'll look nearby for the next few days

and see if there's anyone suspicious.

As long as it's a human, they will definitely eat and drink water.

I think the female thief who captured Xiao Huan also came here before.

In any case, we'll do whatever you say.

Before Xiao Huan left Yudu, she did a divination for you.

What did she say?

She said that there are dark clouds over you, hence, you surely will be in big trouble.

Since we came down the mountain, I am already densely covered with dark clouds.

Do you still remember when we went down the mountain, we sat on your mechanism...

Mechanism...what was that?

Stop mentioning my Lu Ban Yuan (mechanical bird) already.

Lu Ban Yuan.

But Xiao Huan said that someone like you,

will always get any problems solved.

She said that you are a good person, so you'll get good repayment.

In the past every time you met with a problem, in the end,

it was because of your bravery and determination

that we made it through.

I believe that it'll be the same this time.

We will definitely find Xiao Huan.

It's windy outside at night. Your injury hasn't healed yet.

Be careful of catching a cold.

Have you discussed things with Shu Shu?

How are we to find Xiao Huan?

Let's make the Xiao Chi Village as our base.

Tomorrow, once day breaks, Shi Shi and Li Xun will look around the adjacent areas.

Shi Tou and I will look around the village.

Senior Sister, rest at the hotel.

I'm just injured. I'm not as weak as you think.

I'll go with you.

You've misunderstood me.

You are the calmest and most collected of all of us.

You also have the highest level of magic.

With you here, if anything happens,

you can fix it at any time.

I misunderstood you.

Before, my impression of you is someone who does no decent work

and didn't have a Qing Yun disciple's heart of improvement and responsibility.

But after Yudu, and the sand ocean,

then I discovered that compared to me, Shu Shu, and Jing Yu,

you are even more responsible than us.

Do you still remember, at Teng Tian Palace,

the words you lectured me?

Junior Brother Zhang, do you not need to prepare for the martial arts competition?

Are you too idle or do you feel that because of one lucky draw, you can be lucky all the time?

Everyone is doing their best, and what are you doing?

You're still doing these pointless things.

Junior Brother. I wrongly blamed you.

No, you were right.

That time, I was indeed being muddle-headed all day.

Having no direction. Even falling into

the shadows of the massacre of Grass Temple Village and almost got controlled by my heart's demon.

If not because during the Seven Palaces Competition, Senior Sister helped me defeat my heart's demon.

Or else, there wouldn't be the me of now.

Thank you, Senior Sister.

I need to thank you too.

You didn't just save me in the sand cave.

You also took me out of the bad memory left from my childhood.

That bad memory has followed me for many years.

Even when I learned skills in the sect,

I also always remind myself to be diligent and hardworking.

Because,

because I was afraid that I'd be abandoned by my family again.

That pain made me not have a moment of ease and freedom.

The moment when I felt the warmest and happiest moment in this world,

was when at Yudu,

you, me, Shu Shu, and Jing Yu,

when we watched the river lanterns at night time.

Now, I can finally let go of the past

and do what I like to do.

There's a lot of choices in life.

Perhaps you don't know when you're little.

But once you've grown up, you'll understand what you want.

In this lifetime, there will be some choices to make and responsibility to take.

You are the same.

You should also have some responsibility towards the sect.

After you're done with all this, come back with me.

Give the sect leader an explanation.

Don't worry, Senior Sister. After everything is finished,

I will definitely return to apologize for my crimes.

I trust in your own deductions.

After we go back, I will also explain to the sect leader what happened

to defend you.

Indeed, it feels a lot better to let go of the past.

Junior Brother, it's getting late.

Go back and rest. You still have to search for Xiao Huan tomorrow.

Can I really let it go?

The Blood Capturing Pearl hasn't had a reaction for a long time.

Has my fate with Bi Yao really been cut off?

Bi Yao.

The golden bell ringing stops the cravings for blood.

Has always been complaining about romantic infatuation my whole life.

Bi Yao.

Everything's been arranged. Let's go.

No. I have to take a look.

Bi Yao...

Didn't you say that those Qing Yun Sect disciples have been using and hurting me?

Then it's just right for me to meet them.

It's okay for you to go in there but you must listen to me.

Based on what?

I'm doing this for you own good. I don't want you to be in danger again.

Before, it's also like this. You didn't listen to my advice

and just acted willfully and insisted on getting into danger. If not because I saved you, I can't imagine what would have happened.

What you mean is I don't have the ability to protect myself

so I should not give you trouble anymore. Is that it?

That's not what I mean.

Even if you don't believe me,

but for Qing Long and your father,

I also don't want you to be hurt.

Fine. Don't worry.

Without your permission, I won't make any moves.

Is that okay now?

Wine...

Wine...

Shi Tou. Shi Tou. Wake up. Hey.

Wake up, Shi Tou.

Why am I sitting here? Where are Zheng Shu Shu and the others?

They already went to the desert to investigate the situation around here.

Why did you drink so many wine?

The taste of this fruit wine is exactly the same as the one made by my mother.

This is most likely her birthplace.

Your mother is also a villager from Xiao Chi Village?

Brother Zhang, although we haven't known each other for very long,

I can see that you Qing Yun disciples are kind-hearted people.

That's why...I won't hide it anymore.

Actually...my mother is not human

but a monster. I am a child of a human and a monster.

Will you two look down on me?

Every living things are equal. So what if your human or a monster?

Oh, right. You said earlier that your mother is from here.

Then it means that there are other monsters in here.

The person who kidnapped Xiao Huan has very high magic skills. Maybe she's here.

Our sect has one monster hunting skill. I'll give it a try.

There is indeed a monster here.

Let's go.

What do the three of you planning to do?

If you three want to drink some wine, I will just bring you some.

Don't make rash moves.

San Niang, we want to go inside and take a look.

It's a wine cellar inside. There's nothing good to look at.

If you want to take a walk, there's places for that.

Is there anything we can't see inside?

Our family's secret method of brewing wine

cannot be seen by outsiders. I hope you understand.

-Since you say that, then we must take a look.-You can't.

You have demon spirits here. If you don't let us in,

don't blame us for not being kind!

What nonsense! I do business in my hotel!

Why would there be demon spirits? You are my guests.

But don't make trouble.

Since you insist there isn't, why won't you let us in?

This is my home! Without my permission, no one can go in!

Savior! Savior!

Xiao Qi?

Brother Zhang, do you know him?

Yes.

You little brat! You always bring me trouble!

San Niang, what did Xiao Qi do wrong?

Why is he inside your wine cellar?

Don't talk about it. Recently, this little brat escaped into Xiao Chi Village

and ate lots of food in my hotel.

He stayed for over a month in my hotel and didn't even pay for it in the end.

He tried to escape in the middle of the night. He said he didn't have money after I caught him.

I could only trap him in here

to work off his debt.

Miss Lu, you guys come tramping around without saying a word.

Are you trying to bully me since I'm alone?

San Niang. I'm sorry, we misunderstood you.

It's you?

You demon spirit that stole the Mysterious Fire Mirror!

Where is it? Tell me!

-Or else I'll finish you off!-Stop.

He's not a evil demon. Don't hurt him.

Zhang Xiao Fan, you saw him steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror with that six tailed fox demon.

And you say he's not an evil demon spirit?

This boss lady took in a demon spirit. They must be on the same side!

-Maybe she's a demon spirit too!-Who are you calling a demon spirit?

San Niang, please be calm.

Li Xun, calm down! The situation hasn't been cleared up yet!

Savior, Big Brother Liu Wei and I got separated long ago.

I didn't steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror.

How can a demon spirit's words be trusted?

Zhang Xiao Fan. They escaped last time because of you.

This time, I won't stand back.

You all-!

Not separating between humans and monsters.

You let go of the one who works for me. Who will pay back the money?

We cannot let Li Xun leave alone.

Because Li Xun can find out where the Mysterious Fire Mirror is.

If we find it, then we can find Xiao Huan.

Senior Sister, I'm not protecting demon spirits.

Xiao Qi's cultivation is very low. He's just a little fox.

I know. He doesn't look like an evildoer either.

I'm just thinking, the female thief that stole the Mysterious Fire Mirror and Xiao Huan,

and that Xiao Qi and the Liu Wei you're talking about,

is there any relationship between them?

This is Shi Tou's mother's hometown.

Xiao Qi is a demon spirit. Liu Wei should be nearby too.

If we assume the female thief helped Liu Wei steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror, then...

then Xiao Huan and the Mysterious Fire Mirror may be hidden somewhere in Xiao Chi Village.

That's right. Luo Ye is showing Shu Shu the way around

to look for Xiao Huan's location. He'll tell us if there's news.

I am helping Shi Tou look into his mother's matter.

I can use his mother as an excuse to look through the entire Xiao Chi Village.

If we find Xiao Huan, that would be great.

Then I'll go look for Li Xun.

We are still on the same side. Helping him find the Mysterious Fire Mirror is the most important part.

Ma'am, do you know the girl in this painting?

-We don't.-You don't?

Uncles, do you know a girl that planted butterfly flowers

and knew how to brew wine? She looked like this painting.

-We've never seen her at all.-You've really never seen her before?

- How can once have any impression with that?- This is the plan you're talking about?

This method is simple and helpful. It's very effective.

Look carefully again!

Such a pretty girl! There must be few of them in your village!

This painting is of her when she was young!

She should be about 30 years old now!

-Look!-We said we really don't know her!

What are you doing?

When did you come to Xiao Chi Village?

Don't know!

Did you just arrive, so you don't know anything I ask?

We don't know! This person is such a pain.

Is there anyone who has lived here for longer?

You're sick!

I'm not done talking yet!

-What is he saying?-That's right!

If you don't understand, then look at me!

It's a pretty girl that looks just like me!

Let's go, let's go. Don't drink anymore.

-You're such a pain. We haven't seen her before.-Uncle!

The weather is so nice today!

Auntie auntie, look at this girl in the painting! Do you know her?

-You look too!-I don't know her.

Think again! It's fine if you can't remember right now.

It's not fine with me! If you keep pestering me, I'm calling for help!

No no, don't panic. I don't have any bad intentions.

Think about it again! There's probably not that many pretty girls in this village.

If you don't understand from looking at the painting, then look at me!

It's a pretty girl that looks just like me!

She looks like me when I smile! I'll smile for you to see!

-I'm calling for help!-I'm not a bad person!

I'm a disciple of the Jing Gao Sect, it's a righteous sect!

I have no bad intentions! Think again!

What do you want? Who cares what sect you're from?

Stop pestering me! I just don't know her! Go away!

-Go away!-Help me out! Someone of your age must have seen my mother before.

How about I tell you about my mother? Then you'll remember!

-Is that a way to beg people?-Auntie!

I'm only 28! You're the old one!

- Auntie, please listen to me explain.- Hurry and leave! Leave! Leave!

Auntie, let me explain!

-Explain what?-It's a misunderstanding!

I'll beat you to death! Don't run!

I'll beat you to death if I see you again!

I'm so angry!

Don't run!

This fragrance is the same as the sweet taste in the fruit wine.

Where are you from? Why have you come to my garden?

Uncle. We just happened to pass by.

We were attracted by this flower's scent. We thought no one was inside. We're sorry.

No one inside? The what am I?

What a rude kid! Leave!

Uncle, I can see that you are of high prestige and is respected here. You must have lived in this village for a long time.

I want to ask you about a person! Do you know the person in this painting?

My eyesight isn't good, I can't see it clearly!

-Uncle! Look carefully!-Go, go. Go!

Uncle! Let's just talk! Don't be mean!

That's right, Uncle. We'll leave after we're done asking.

I still have things to do!

How would I have time to talk with you? Just go.

If you don't agree, then we won't go!

What? Do you think you can bully me because I'm old?

Get lost!

I just want to ask about someone!

You-!

It's just asking about someone! Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Bullying an old man!

Who's there?

Be careful, there's poison in the pollen!

I'm okay.

Bi Yao?

Don't fight in my garden! What a nuisance!

Uncle, you've finally come out!

Hurry and tell me if you know my mother! She's someone who knows how to brew wine

and grow butterfly flowers like the ones in your garden!

You are too stubborn!

Then I'll tell you. Most of the girls in our village know how to brew wine.

They also know how to grow butterfly flowers.

But I can't clearly see the person in your embroidery. I really don't know.

You don't know? If my mother really is from this village,

someone must remember her!

Ah, this brain of mine! Her name is Ah Ling!

Ah Ling? I really don't know.

I told you all I know.

You two should hurry and leave here.

Or else, I'll kick you out of Xiao Chi Village!

Uncle!

Let's go.

The people in the village don't know us, so they'll be wary.

You can't get much from asking so directly.

There must be something off with this place

Did you see that old man's face? He was startled with he heard my mother's name.

He must know her! He just won't tell me!

He must have his reason for not telling you. How about this?

Go around and ask more people. Perhaps they can tell you.

You're not going with me?

I...I have to go find someone.

Find who?

Didn't you promise me not to make a move?

So what? It's fine for me to scope things out.

Being so rash, if they find out,

and discover that we're here, they'll tighten security.

When that happens, it'll be more difficult to steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror!

Stop thinking about all that! I have my plans.

I have to take responsibility for you since you came with me.

Do you know how much trouble you've drawn for your father and Azure Dragon?

Do you know that there's still other people who care about you?

You are the Ghost King's daughter. I have no right to control you.

I have no right to order you either. I just want to ensure your safety.

What do we do now? There's no news on where the Mysterious Fire Mirror is.

Also, I feel like there's definitely a problem with that hotel.

The big thing is that Zhang Xiao Fan doesn't even know what happened!

As long as we let them create conflicts with the villagers,

we can use them first to find out where the Mysterious Fire Mirror is.

On the other hand, we have to make the villagers guarded against them.

Then we can reap the benefits among the chaos.

It's just, you cannot be rash anymore and alert them.

Senior Brother Li.

Did you come find me because of your junior brother?

The important thing now is to find Xiao Huan and the Mysterious Fire Mirror.

We've traveled all this way, and watched each other's back.

It looks like you're the only clear minded person in Qing Yun.

But your good junior brother Zhang Xiao Fan keeps making friends with the evil sects and demon spirits.

One is influenced by the type of company he gets associated with.

Senior Brother Li. You're not allowed to insult my sect.

Okay okay. I'm just worried about you.

I thought it was strange. Why must all of you listen to Zhang Xiao Fan? What can he do?

Look around.

Look, it's them.

Acting so guilty. Maybe...

the Mysterious Fire Mirror is indeed in this village.

I thought those young people would leave quickly.

But I didn't think that that silly boy keeps asking the villagers questions.

If this goes on, they'll discover our identity sooner or later.

I thought something is off too. So it is Sister Jiang's son.

That Shi Tou just wants to find his mother. That is understandable.

Our fox tribe has hidden here for many years. No one has ever found it.

I don't know where that Luo Ye is from.

He actually took a bunch of cultivating disciples and found the heavily hidden Xiao Chi Village.

I already told you before.

They definitely cannot find this place.

You still was not careful and showed some traces.

We have to hurry and find a way to drive them out.

Every day they stay in Xiao Chi Village will be trouble to us.

It will bring us more danger!

In all my calculations, I didn't calculate that Zhang Xiao Fan's group

will not die under the hands of the bandits after being misled by me.

They followed to Xiao Chi Village too.

Thankfully, I already moved Zhou Xiao Huan from the hotel to here.

They won't find out for now.

There cannot be any ifs. Those cultivating disciples all know magic.

Their skills aren't normal. If they find out this place's secret,

then our people's lives will be lost!

Don't worry. I've already arrange for it.

Give me one more day.

Take that girl away when you come at night.

Remember. Before the sun sets tomorrow,

you must get rid of those cultivating disciples.

You cannot wait any longer.

San Niang! San Niang?

Since San Niang isn't here, let's go look outside.

I know you're in a rush to find your mother. But we have already

offended almost all the people here. If we continue acting rashly,

we won't be able to find a single clue.

There must be something off with that flower garden. Mother used to plant those flowers.

There must be a connection between that flower garden and my mother.

The Old Village Chief kept avoiding things. He must be keeping something from us!

Since they're keeping things secret on purpose, they must be prepared.

After San Niang returns, we'll ask her then.

Perhaps we can get some news.

Senior Sister Lu and Zheng Shu Shu have been out for a while.

Perhaps they'll bring some fresh news. Let's wait a bit longer.

They listen to you, so I will too.

Stop being angry with me, okay?

I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at myself.

It has nothing to do with you.

I have to go get the Mysterious Fire Mirror with you. How can it have nothing to do with me?

I've actually wanted to ask you something. As a Ten Thousand Poison Sect disciple,

why are you seeking all means to fulfill task for the Ghost King?

Don't say you did it for Big Brother Azure Dragon.

Since I'm representing the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to ally with the Ghost King Sect,

naturally, I have to show my sincerity.

Is it really just for an alliance?

I was abandoned by my parents since childhood.

After I joined the sect, I was

treated as a test subject by my teacher.

Sometimes shooting thousands of needles through my heart, sometimes letting thousands of bugs bite my body.

Unimaginable pain that you'd rather die.

You once told me that you were the only one who survived.

Yes, it was in that sort of situation

that I strove forward to survival.

But in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, I need to fight and plot every second.

There is no peace.

Old Blood Sucking Monster and Hundred Poison Lord kept wanting to bully me to death everyday.

Every step I took was full of danger.

-So--So,

you're doing work for the Ghost King Sect to set another path for yourself?

Your father is a man of bold talent and grand vision. Among the different sub-sects, the only one who will be able to revive our grand undertaking will be Ghost King Sect.

I only realized this earlier and suited my actions accordingly as what a wise man will do.

Your taste isn't bad.

My father has never poorly treated those who are loyal to him.

Your father loves you so much. In everything,

you must think about your father and the sect.

Everyone worries about you. How can you be so stubborn?

I usually don't know how to talk accordingly. I won't annoy you anymore.

Where are you going?

To do something. Wait for me here.

I'll return soon.

We already traveled a long way before! It was so hard to get to a comfortable place.

You had me go to a wine cellar last night, and today I have to go to the Old Village Chief's house!

Big Sister! Where are we going now? What are you doing?

We're going to treat my big brother's injury.

I-I-I, Big Sister! I don't know medicine! It's useless if I go!

Let's go back!

This whole way, I've liked you a lot.

But, I'm sorry, Little Sister Xiao Huan.

I'm not going! I-!

Luo Ye, no no, I'm too tired.

Let'se go back. I really can't move anymore.

Hang in there for a bit longer. There's a black stone mountain up ahead.

There's a Black Stone Cave there. It's the closest place that can hide people around here.

No no. Based on my current condition,

even if I get to the hiding place, I can't beat them.

Okay okay. Let's go back.

Oh no! Xiao Huan's handkerchief!

Luo Ye! Hurry and go tell them! I'll go look for her right now!

It's you monsters that can't be pierced by swords again?

Xiao Fan!

You! Don't run! Stop!

-Stop!-Stop!

San Niang? Why is it you?

Xiao Huan!

[Wine]

Stop drinking. If there's news later and you're extremely drunk,

you'll just hold things back.

There's no news after waiting for so long. I don't think it'll come today.

Just let me drink.

This wine tastes so good! I don't get drunk no matter how much I drink!

You're still not drunk? Look at how drunk you are.

Brother Zhang. You don't know.

Only when I drink wine can I reunite with my parents.

During that time, my father was human and my mother was a demon spirit.

I suffered a lot as a child.

There were often people who destroyed demons that came to kill us.

We could only travel around the world.

But now that I think about it, it is the days when I was with my family

that I was the happiest.

What kind of demon is your mother?

A fox spirit demon. My mother loved planting butterfly flowers.

Every time we moved, she'd plant the entire area full of those flowers.

This taste, I'll never forget it.

Every time you moved she'd plant the same flowers?

Is it just because she liked them?

One time I heard them say that there's a use to planting those flowers.

But at that time, I was still young.

I didn't listen carefully. So, I don't know the main use either.

Could it be, it's to hide away a demonic spirit aura?

Brother Zhang! The villagers are rushing over here! Let's go!

-Stop! Stop!-Oh no, let's go!

Don't run! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

You say that someone else is the culprit.

Then why did you go to the Old Village Chief's house in the middle of the night?

I just happened to pass by, and heard a fight going on behind the house.

So I came in to take a look.

Is the culprit a man or a woman? How tall?

It was too dark then, I didn't see it too clearly.

But it should be a man.

Qing Yun disciples? You couldn't even see the culprit's face clearly.

I think, you just tried to hide things on purpose!

San Niang, don't force him.

Brother Zhang already got hurt chasing after the culprit.

I'm taking him back first. We'll talk after he's been treated.

Brother Zhang.

You're not allowed to go!

If you don't clear things up, no one can leave today!

What if you run away?

We didn't do anything wrong! Why would we have to run away?

Tall guy, I recognize you. When village chief drove you guys away,

you refused to leave! And him!

He came to the Village Chief's house in the middle of the night! What good could he be up to?

Perhaps the Village Chief found out about your plan!

-So you killed him off!-Don't frame a good person!

Brother Zhang is from a righteous sect. He cannot possibly kill an innocent person!

If he really is the culprit, how could he get hurt?

There's nothing to explain! No one can leave today!

That's right! You can't leave!
