The Blessed Girl

Episode 1

I’m Linglong,

surnamed Huotu,

born into the Fire Tribe.

My father said

every life in our tribe

is a gift from ancestors,

but other tribesmen said

I was only born

because my father

broke ancestors’ rules.

By the way, his name is Huotu Xin.

He can bake meat pies,

but

the dough can be hard

and the meat stuffing salty.

His fresh ground soybean milk

always contains dregs.

He can cook everything

including all that you’ve eaten

or not.

Over the past 16 years,

he’s done all the cooking.

I’m the luckiest girl

to be able to enjoy the food he makes.

Linglong,

rise and shine, sleepyhead.

Today is your big day.

Linglong.

Linglong!

Father.

Father.

Father!

Father.

I didn’t mean to

sneak out behind your back.

You stayed up late last night.

I didn’t want to wake you up.

Would you rather

see me worrying?

I know, I know.

You’re

quite fragile.

I must protect

your feelings,

right?

You little troublemaker!

I knew

you went to the Glory Rock,

didn’t you?

I’m a big girl now.

You can stop worrying too much.

I can take care of myself.

Really?

Even adults wouldn’t go uphill

before dawn.

It’s slippery and dangerous,

you know?

Could you protect yourself?

Look,

I was there to pick

the first Dormant Lotus

blooming towards the sun

on the Glory Rock.

Isn’t it beautiful?

It is.

I’m giving it to Mother.

This is my first time

seeing her.

Linglong.

Father!

Stop there.

-Catch me if you can. -Stop!

Come here.

Beloved Wife Jin’er

Mother,

wait for me.

I’ll see you later.

Don’t be so sure.

Only if you pass the test

will you be on the Mountain Team

and go to the Flame Chilling Wall.

Don’t let your mother down.

Of course I won’t!

Ever since the Earth Fire Test was held,

no one has passed with flying colors.

That’s because I haven’t taken it.

That’s my girl.

Moon Grass!

You found it!

Seeing the rain

last night, I thought

there’d be some this morning.

Look at you!

You also went uphill before dawn.

Alright. Enough.

Eat it while it’s hot.

What do you think?

Is it good?

Just relax.

Focus on the Test.

Don’t feel pressured.

You don’t need a clean sweep

to be on the Mountain Team.

If I didn’t make it,

you’d be the one to blame

for being a bad teacher.

I’m a bad teacher?

You know what?

When I was

in the team,

I was the best firefighter.

Or your mother wouldn’t have

fallen for me at first sight.

Didn’t you say

that was because you were handsome?

I can be both.

Father,

why did Mother

go there?

Others all say...

What do they know?

They’re a bunch of green-eyed bumpkins

because I married your mother.

Your mother gave birth to you.

That’s all you need to know.

I’m no longer a kid

and I deserve the truth.

I made this for you.

It’s beautiful and useful.

You’ll be invincible in it.

Take it.

Father.

Put it on,

pass the test

and see for yourself.

If you find your mother,

ask her for me

why she went there that day.

By that day,

he meant the day I was born.

The place my mother went

is called Flame Chilling Wall

built by our ancestors.

Behind that wall

is the Earth Fire that once destroyed everything.

It’s

the most terrifying place in the world

and it’s off-limits.

Only the bravest ones

chosen by the Mountain Team

have access to it.

Of course my father was one of them

while my mother

wasn’t even born here.

That day,

Father broke the rules

by going through the Wall with Mother

and stepping into the Earth Fire.

500 years ago,

the Earth Fire

turned our tribe into hell.

By going through the Wall,

we could go back to that day

and witness

that apocalypse as if

the world had stopped 500 years ago.

No one knows the origin of that fire

or my mother’s background.

That day,

only Father and I came back.

Tribesmen never gave their blessings

to my parents’ marriage

or my birth.

My father was the bravest man here

who had taken the Mountain Team

to extinguish countless fires.

But ever since that day,

he hasn’t been near the Flame Chilling Wall again

as if he abandoned his duty

to guard the Wall and fight fires

and forgot my mother.

But not me.

I’ve waited for 16 years,

for this very day

to be on the Mountain Team

so that I can put out the Earth Fire behind the Wall

and find out everything about my mother.

Today is the day.

I’ll pass the Earth Fire Test.

The Huotus will come back

as heroes of the Mountain Team

and leave our names

on the Glory Rock.

Fire never dies!

Fire never dies!

Do you recognize this?

Flammable Stone!

Such stones with inexhaustible energy

used to be our treasure

and laid the foundation

of our former glory

but they can destroy us as well

as they keep the Earth Fire on

for 500 years.

Flammable Stones

are right under our feet in the mountains.

Such mines

are all over our tribe.

We can live

to this day

because our ancestors

built the Flame Chilling Wall

at the cost of their lives

to cut off the mines underground

and seal the Earth Fire

in the Wall.

As their descendants,

we cannot hide outside the Wall they built

just to make ourselves safe.

Make it stop!

To quench the Earth Fire,

we must find every Flammable Stone mine,

cut them off one by one

until

the last Flammable Stone

is dug out.

Then

the Earth Fire

will be gone forever.

That’s

the mission we’re born with.

-Fire never dies! -Fire never dies!

You should know

this is the most dangerous job.

-Also the most glorious one. -Also the most glorious one.

Has she no shame

signing up for the Test?

Well,

I won’t lose

to that oddball.

Linglong,

we trust you

and we have nothing to worry about,

right?

Yes.

Alright.

Prove yourself

in the Test.

Remember,

there are no rules

in the Test.

Don’t get killed

and put out the Earth Fire.

That’s it.

But

every judgment,

decision

and move you make

will determine

if you’re qualified to

be on the Mountain Team,

go to the Flame Chilling Wall

and carry on the great mission

our ancestors left undone.

Get yourselves ready.

Follow me.

Prove yourselves.

-Come on! -You can do it!

Pass the Test! Make us proud!

You must win!

Linglong,

the result doesn’t matter.

I’ll cook your favorite food

and wait for you at home.

I’ll pass the Test.

I know. Go ahead.

You’ll pass it!

I’ll only say this once

because the Earth Fire

won’t give you a second chance.

Centered around the Hawkeye Peak,

within the 2.5-kilometer radius,

at the long and narrow valley corridor,

there’s simulated Earth Fire

made with fire powder everywhere.

Your task

is to identify the fire route,

block the Earth Fire

and destroy the center of it.

If the fire powder has covered

half of your body,

you’ll be deemed as burned

and eliminated immediately.

Come on!

Come. Why did you stop?

Are you sure we should follow her?

What if we catch bad luck?

Nonsense!

Be careful!

You’re welcome.

Linglong, you Huotus

are as good as they say.

I heard a lot from my father

that when your father was on the Mountain Team,

he put out 18 fires in a row

without losing a hair.

What else did your old man say?

He also said,

“what a shame”.

Focus.

This isn’t over yet.

Look over there.

Every fire

points to that direction.

The center must be there.

This could be our chance to win.

Didn’t your father say

the Huotus

are born to win?

The three of us will

destroy the center and be winners.

Xia Ling’s team has put out another fire.

Most fires on the east side of the Hawkeye Peak are out.

No one on the two teams is burned.

All of them

have great potential.

No one caught the fire?

They’re swift,

especially Linglong and her members.

They’ve done it

quickly and accurately.

Maybe they’ll all survive.

Since when

was the Earth Fire so nice to people?

Change of plan.

Activate the Burning Ring.

Something is wrong.

What’s up?

If the two fires join each other,

we’ll be trapped inside.

Run!

Go!

Go on!

Hurry up and go!

Luckily, you took the precaution

by using two Stone Freezing Balls.

Goodness!

That was close.

According to my father,

that’s the Burning Ring.

If we got trapped,

we’d be dead for sure.

My father has never said that.

Safety matters the most.

We’ve put out tons of fires.

Destroying the center is almost impossible.

Anyway,

no one has ever won.

All we need

is a spot on the Mountain Team.

No.

I must win.

More are coming

our way, I think.

There are no rules in the Test.

No rules?

Listen,

hide yourselves.

Don’t go anywhere

near the fire.

Protect yourselves first.

We’ll win.

Fine.

What if Xia Ling

puts out more fires

than us?

That’s not going to happen

because I’m here.

Where are you going?

To fight fires.

Linglong,

shouldn’t you be with your team members?

What are you doing here?

To extinct the Earth Fire.

What’s your plan?

You’re the real source

of the Earth Fire.

Once I get you,

the Fire will die out.

Let’s see.

Why did you do that?

You said

there are no rules in the Test.

The same goes for the real Earth Fire.

All we need to do

is to put it out.

But you’ve

got burned.

If there’s a chance

to quench

all the fires within the Wall,

won’t you risk your life?

That’s what

a qualified Mountain Team member

should do,

am I right?

Linglong.

Congratulations!

You’re the first one ever

to have put out the Fire completely.

Unfortunately,

you can’t be

on the Mountain Team.

She’s never allowed to go to the Flame Chilling Wall?

After discussion,

the Elders and I

have reached that decision

and notified Chi Fang.

Even if

she passed the Earth Fire Test?

She won’t.

You...

Huotu Xin, what are you doing?

Do you know

how much this means to her?

I do.

This is for the sake of you and our tribe.

Back then,

you disregarded the rules

and married an outsider,

leading to a huge mess.

We cannot afford another risk.

The past is the past.

Can’t you let it go?

Linglong

carries the blood of a foreign tribe.

Once she went there

and offended the ancestors,

there could be dire consequences.

How could she offend them?

Tell me about it!

What’s her surname?

It’s Huotu!

Ancestors couldn’t be happier seeing her.

The Huotus

inherit that surname from the great Founding Father

of our tribe, Huotu Ke.

Shut up!

I won’t!

I’m surprised that you still remember

Huotu is our Founding Father’s surname.

But look at you!

What’s wrong with me?

You abdicated your responsibility

for a foreign woman,

and left the Mountain Team

to babysit

your daughter at home.

Are you still a Huotu?

I won’t change my decision.

Period!

Huotu Xin.

Leader.

Is Linglong back yet?

Linglong?

What happened?

She was upset

because she didn’t make the cut

and she quarreled with Xia Ling.

I’m worried...

If anything happens to her,

I’ll make all of you pay!

Huotu Xin!

What did you tell him?

I said

Linglong

put out all the fires alone.

Did you activate the Burning Ring?

Yes,

I did.

How did she succeed?

Father.

Will your name

be carved on the Glory Stone?

Me?

I can’t care less about that.

But I care.

Ever since the first time you took me here

and told me stories

about those ancestors on the Rock,

this place

has become my favorite.

I have tons of

other stories.

We can go to the White Forest next time.

I’ll tell you a story

about the Deer Hunter.

Did they cast me out

because of

what happened to Mother?

Of course not.

You’re a terrible liar.

Do you really think

you’ve grasped the gist

of the Earth Fire

just because you found a loophole?

Hadn’t I done that,

no one would’ve won.

That’s why

no one did.

Because it’s never about winning or losing.

It’s about life.

When the Earth Fire was blazing,

tens of thousands of our ancestors

sacrificed their lives

to build the Flame Chilling Wall.

Why?

That wasn’t

to seal the Fire

or put their names

on the Glory Rock.

They did that

to protect those

outside the Wall.

Even the wisest ancestor

didn’t know

when the Earth Fire would stop.

If everyone

threw themselves

into the fire like you

only to win,

what would happen?

There’d be no one left

to fill the cracks

on the Flame Chilling Wall.

The Earth Fire would burst out someday

and set not only our tribe

but also the entire Suchuan on fire.

That

would be a real catastrophe.

This test

is lesson one of the Mountain Team.

It teaches you

that life is more important

than putting out the Earth Fire.

That’s ancestors’ teaching.

So

it’s fair that you lost.

Don’t blame others for it.

But

that’s

different

from what Chi Fang said.

What does he know?

Were I still on the Team,

he wouldn’t

become the team leader.

I don’t believe you.

I swear

to all the ancestors on the Rock

that everything

I said

is nothing but the truth.

You know, your mother

isn’t behind the Flame Chilling Wall.

She’s in your heart

keeping you company.

I understand, Father.

I’d like to hang out here for a while.

Just go home without me.

It’s... It’s getting dark.

Please!

Fine, alright.

Just a little while.

I’m leaving.

Come home

before it’s dark.

Fine.

-Or the food will get cold. -I know.

No sign of her.

I looked everywhere but didn’t see her.

Don’t panic.

Our village is small.

She must be somewhere nearby.

Where are you going?

To find my daughter.

Do you know where she is?

We’ve got so many men looking for her.

You won’t help me.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Aren’t we helping you now?

No one wants her to get hurt.

She must’ve

gone to the Flame Chilling Wall.

What?

What are you waiting for?

Go there now!

Follow me!

Leader,

you aren’t mad at her?

Not now.

We’ve got more important things to do.

Shizi,

hey,

when can we stop doing this?

Stop whining.

There’s no one down there.

Go down and stand guard.

It’s late.

Who’d go through the Wall?

Do you still have liquor?

Let’s drink.

Danzi!

Look.

Anyone?

Leader.

What...? What brings you here this late?

Did Linglong go inside?

Has anyone got in?

I don’t think so.

You don’t think so?

I don’t know.

Even if she’s inside,

the fires there are unpredictable.

Without our fire map,

she won’t get to the Palace of Flames.

Have you forgotten about the Test?

Huotu Xin!

You came faster than I thought.

Perfect timing. Let’s go.

It’s dark.

We can come again next time.

You’re lying again.

Linglong!

Father.

I don’t get to

come here again, do I?

I’ve promised Mother.

I just want to see

the place where she passed away.

I’m always eager...

To see for myself.

Do you know

your mother

once looked at me in the same way?

She begged me to bring her here.

Although we weren’t together

for too long,

every moment we shared

is the most precious memory

to me.

It’s irreplaceable.

But that one is the only exception.

I regret it a million times

and I’ll never

forgive myself for it.

I wish I could

undo what I did.

Linglong,

you’re

everything I have now.

I cannot

have another regret.

Well then,

stay close to me.

Linglong!

Stop!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong, where are you?

Linglong!

Linglong!

Come back!

It’s dangerous!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong!

Linglong, watch out!

Father!

Hang in there!

Linglong.

Everything will be fine.

I’m here.

Come, Linglong.

Linglong.

Leader, what’s that?

Does that come from the Palace of Flames?

What...?

What’s that, Leader?

Is that ancestors’ warning?

What should we do, Leader?

Say something, Leader!

Be careful!

What’s that?

No idea.

What is that thing?

Leader, what’s that?

Should we attack?

Is it the Fire Demon?

A monster!

Be careful. Watch out.

Kill her.

Stop!

Run!

Linglong, it’s me!

I’m your father, Linglong!

Wake up!

Stop!

Don’t hurt her.

Relax.

I won’t.

She won’t hurt others either.

Do you recognize me?

He’s your father.

You shouldn’t have hit him.

You can cure him,

right?

Linglong,

is it you?

Cover her.

Linglong.

Linglong.

You’re fine. Everything is fine.

Where’s that monster?

Be careful.

That’s not a monster.

Don’t be scared

or try to hurt her.

You should be in awe of her

because

she’s your Goddess.

It’s true that Goddess

has never left.
