LOVE AND REDEMPTION

EPISODE 3

Greetings, masters.

The Lutai Town under my governance was always attacked by demons.

That’s the reason I put up a notice to invite masters like you all.

Masters, you guys made in just in time.

Words can’t express my gratitude.

Village officer, you’re too courteous.

This is our responsibility.

You should let us see the corpses of the victims.

Please.

He was killed on Mount Lutai yesterday.

Five of them were travelling together.

But we only managed to find one body.

Demons!

There are four people left on the mountains, including my wife and child.

Some brave guards and hunters went up the mountains to find them.

But they didn’t find a single body.

Mount Lutai is the only path the townsfolk could use,

but now, all of us are trapped here.

What should we do now?

Everyone, calm down.

We’re here.

We will slay the demons.

- Thank you, masters. - Thank you.

So, according to the information and the wounds,

I’m sure the culprit is the Gudiao on Mount Lutai.

Xuan Ji, don’t touch him.

Father, I don’t think a bird was behind the wounds.

I think a dog was the cause.

Don’t simple speak.

I’m not.

Sect Leader Chu, Lord Dong Fang, the wounds are strange indeed.

Look at them.

Although there are peck marks on his right side,

there are bite marks on his left side.

Gudiao is a bird.

It can’t leave any bite marks behind.

We were too careless.

We didn’t observe the wounds closely.

The wounds were caused by another demon.

Xuan Ji is observant indeed.

Look at her. The young talents are amazing.

Actually, I’ve noticed that long ago. I just didn’t want to say them out.

I’m sure there are other demons besides Gudiao on Mount Lutai.

I’m sure there is more than one demon.

Everyone, don’t panic.

Please don’t panic.

Village officer, with our capabilities,

we can handle them if we devise a careful plan.

Please bring us to the villagers who had seen the demons

so that we may understand the situation better.

Okay. Let’s hurry.

- Follow me. - Please.

Xuan Ji, you and Hero Yu

can go and get the things required to capture Gudiao.

Xuan Ji.

This is for you.

What is this?

This is Lightning Truncheon.

It can teleport you around.

Just hold it in your palm and think about the place you want to go.

You can master this with just a few uses.

Although we’ll try our best to protect you later,

we may not be able to protect you all the time.

This item can help you to escape from danger.

Thank you, Senior Hao Chen.

Gudiao?

What do we need to capture it?

Si Feng?

Si Feng, how did you manage to find the items required?

Salt water will hurt its eyes.

- And... - Be careful.

Sorry.

So, salt water will hurt its eyes.

- Sir. - That way, we can capture it, right?

You wanted salt in sacks, right?

Thank you, sir.

Si Feng,

you asked someone else to buy them for you?

So what if I did?

Fine. It’s better this way.

I can try and use the Lightning Truncheon Senior Hao Chen had given me.

Si Feng!

So, this is your room?

Do you think

this is the best time for us to chat?

Not really.

I’m sorry. Did I interrupt your bath?

I’ll leave right away.

I...

I think my Lightning Truncheon went missing.

I think it’s in the bathtub.

I’ll leave once I find it.

Where is it?

Where is it?

Strange man.

Ting Nu, stop being stubborn.

Although you were an immortal medic once, that doesn’t mean anything.

The heavenly realm punishes you without mercy.

In their eyes,

demons will always be demons.

We will never reach the same level as them.

In the past, my Left Lieutenant

only tried to retrieve the Divine Weapon for Star of Mosha,

but he was set up by the heavenly realm.

He was trapped under Fenru City with the Four Dimension Chain.

And 1,000 years had passed since then.

Now, tell me.

How do I unlock the Four Dimension Chain?

You’re keeping quiet?

Stop!

Stop it now!

I’ll tell you!

What? There are other demons?

This is troublesome.

We only wanted to obtain Gudiao’s horns for the Weeping Tears.

But now, there’s another demon.

How could we defeat them?

Ling Long, will they lock me up in Mingxia Cave again?

Little Six, you better think of something!

Think of something?

I remembered Senior Hao Chen said that Gudiao loves human tongues.

It will approach people when it smells blood.

I don’t feel anything anyway.

By then, I’ll just bite my tongue and try to lure it.

Okay?

So...

You are digging your own grave.

That will attract Gudiao,

but it’ll boost its power tremendously as well.

Do you guys think you can survive?

I’m sure it’s not that bad, right?

Can you kill it then?

We can’t kill it by ourselves.

What should we do then?

The Four Dimension Chain

was created by the immortals,

using the earthly energies accumulated from the four highest peaks in the world.

No one can cut it or break it.

You can only unlock them

by gathering the four spirit keys.

The four spirit keys

have been protected by the Five Great Sects for a long time.

The keys are in their hands?

Where did they put them?

That’s all I know.

I’m not lying.

I told you everything I knew.

If I find out that you’re lying,

I’ll decimate the entire merman clan.

According to the locations of the victims’ bodies,

Gudiao is most active by the mountainside and the nearby pond.

As for the other demon, we have no clues.

We must be cautious when we ascend the mountain.

Xuan Ji, are you tired?

I’m not.

Xuan Ji!

Xuan Ji!

Are you okay?

It hurts.

- What’s wrong? - I sprained my ankle.

It hurts.

Master, Xuan Ji sprained her ankle. She can’t walk anymore.

This troublesome girl.

I told you to train hard. Look at you.

You’re injured now and you’re dragging everyone down.

Senior, I think that’s enough.

Just let them rest here.

We’ll lure Gudiao out.

That’s fine too.

Hero Yu, please stay here and take care of them.

Xuan Ji, take this whistle.

Blow the whistle when you’re in danger.

Hao Chen, let’s proceed.

Yes.

I almost died! Why did you take so long?

Sorry, Ling Long. I forgot about you.

Xuan Ji, did you really sprain your ankle?

No. I was acting just now.

You’re a bad actor, you know?

Did you forget that you can’t feel anything?

How could you pretend to be in pain?

Oh right, I forgot about that.

Ling Long, Min Yan, you two should get ready.

After I set up the formation and lure Gudiao here,

you two can remove its horns when it’s trapped in my formation.

Ling Long, use this to protect yourself.

This?

Isn’t this your family heirloom?

My ancestors were blacksmiths.

This dagger is stronger than ordinary weapons.

Take it. Use it if you meet a demon.

But...

Didn’t you say you’ll give this to...

Yeah.

It’s an engagement gift for my future wife.

Don’t think too much.

I’m just borrowing you.

You need to return it to me.

You’re only borrowing me? And I need to return this?

You can give this to your future wife for all I care!

Report! Some cultivators are ascending Mount Lutai!

What? Hurry!

Inform all demons to leave this hideout right away!

- Remember to destroy all clues! - Yes!

Hurry!

Run!

Uncle Ting Nu is here.

Inform the people of our tribe.

Ask them to leave immediately.

The formation is done.

What a strong demonic aura.

Demonic aura?

Xuan Ji!

Xuan Ji, are you okay?

You’re bleeding.

Gudiao’s power will increase when it sees blood.

I can’t hold it off for long. Go now!

But Si Feng, this...

- Just leave! - Let’s go!

- It’s actually a Tengu? - Capture it.

You stay here.

Wait, didn’t you say that Gudiao will reach its human form soon?

You can’t deal with it alone. I’ll go with you.

- It’s easier for me to go alone. - Yu Si Feng!

Wait.

I think something’s in the water.

It’s another demon!

Wait.

Why are you helping the demon?

It’s the scent of Gudiao!

I think it’s approaching us.

Xuan Ji!

We’ll be fine. It’s too big to fit.

I think it’s going to break through soon.

We’re in a dire situation.

There’s no time. We’ll deal with the nasty beast for now.

Protect Xuan Ji!

Si Feng!

Hurry! Scatter the salt!

Xuan Ji, stay here.

Ling Long!

Min Yan!

Ling Long!

Si Feng!

This is bad!

Hurry!

Go!

Si Feng!

Ling Long!

I’ll kill you!

Ling Long!

Xuan Ji!

That sound, it must be Gudiao.

Xuan Ji.

You’re digging your own grave.

Who are you?

Who am I?

Who am I?

Now, you understand.

Understand what?

Who am I?

Xuan Ji, you’re awake?

How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?

You scared me, you know?

Everyone is fine, right?

Everyone is fine.

Why don’t you lie down a little longer?

Ling Long,

I’m hungry.

You little glutton. I’ll get you some food.

Xuan Ji, what exactly happened in the cave?

Did something happen?

I...

I think I had a dream.

In the dream, I...

I...

I can’t remember anything.

Xuan Ji, how about this?

Follow what I do. See if it’ll help you in recovering your memories.

Wait, don’t point that at me.

Point it over there.

Xuan Ji, listen.

You were so amazing while we were in the cave.

You drew a circle just like that and you vanquished the Gudiao.

I vanquished the Gudiao?

How is that possible? I...

I don’t have the capability to vanquish the Gudiao.

Wait.

Don’t tell me that wasn’t a dream?

That was reality?

But,

how did something so bizarre happen to me?

Or...

I...

Am I the freak they spoke about?

Of course not, Xuan Ji.

There’s an explanation for this.

Some immortals or something like that,

they love to wander in the human realm and uphold justice.

But it’s inappropriate for them to show themselves.

Thus, their primordial spirits

will possess humans and humans will become their vessels.

So, I’m sure that was the case.

That’s why you can’t remember anything.

- Is that so? - Xuan Ji, I’m sure that’s the case.

Think about this. You don’t even know the basics of Yang Jue Skill.

You can’t even summon your sword.

But you managed to vanquish a huge creature.

Do you believe in that?

And, we did try it again just now.

You didn’t exhibit any strange power.

According to what you’ve said,

it’ll be great if the immortals can help me out often.

That way, I won’t drag you down.

And I can protect all of you when you are in danger.

Let’s not think about that.

And we mustn’t tell anyone about this.

If this happens again, our elders will spread rumours about you.

Maybe they’ll lock you up again.

Xuan Ji, listen.

This is a secret between us.

You mustn’t tell anyone about this, okay?

- Aunt, Senior Hao Chen. - Xuan Ji.

It’s good that you’re awake.

I wonder who came to save you from that Gudiao?

Xuan Ji, Min Yan, what did you witness in the cave?

I...

The Gudiao knocked us out.

We didn’t see anything.

- Didn’t you say... - Xuan Ji.

I told you to train harder, right?

You were knocked out in an instant because you were too weak.

And you only woke up after two days.

How could you say that about me?

You didn’t train hard either.

I didn’t train hard?

I’m an expert in Yang Jue Skill now, you know?

But you were knocked out as well.

I was knocked out because I wanted to protect you and Ling Long.

- You... - Stop it.

Aunt, Senior.

Eat now.

Little Six, you’re arguing with Xuan Ji even though she just woke up.

I’ll seal your mouth if you say anything else.

We were blessed. All of you were safe.

We finished the Flower Picking Mission as well.

Our sect leader and Lord Dong Fang had returned after capturing the Tengu.

But Hao Chen and I will check out the mountain.

You told me that there’s a water demon in the cave.

But we didn’t find it when we were there.

I think that demon was trying to help us.

Demons are demons.

They will never help humans.

You mustn’t be cheated by their appearances.

Seems like someone vanquished the Gudiao in one blow.

Even my master wasn’t capable of this feat.

Moreover, Gudiao was a massive beast.

The only ones who are capable of this feat

are either the immortals or the Asuras.

Aunt Ying Hong, you don’t need to fret.

There are many things

that we haven’t witnessed within the three realms.

But the Asuras were wiped out 1,000 years ago.

Maybe Xuan Ji and the rest were lucky.

They met some immortals who were trying to help them out.

I hope so.

But it still concerns me, knowing that such a power had appeared in our realm.

We should be cautious and notify the other sects as well.

There are no demons in this cave.

Min Yan said the demon either perished together with the Gudiao,

or had escaped through the water tunnel.

Let’s scout the mountain again.

Okay.

Why do I get hungrier every time I eat?

Where’s my noodles?

Miss, your noodles.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Si Feng, you’re awake as well?

I was long awake. You were the only one who slept for two days.

You must be hungry then.

Come, try this.

This is delicious.

Is this as delicious as the noodles?

You only know how to eat.

This is the medication I’ve made.

Did you make this just for me?

I made it since I needed it as well.

I didn’t want to owe you a favour.

But, you gave me the entire bottle.

You gave me the entire bottle

because you were afraid that it wasn’t enough for me, right?

But, you’re injured as well.

Don’t move. I’ll apply the medicine for you.

My hand is fine.

Let’s go.

I want to visit Mount Lutai again

to see if there’s any remains of Gudiao’s horns.

Si Feng, wait for me.

You were worried about me as well.

Ling Long and Min Yan said they wanted to go as well.

Why don’t we go together?

She said that they may lock me up again

if we couldn’t obtain any Weeping Tears.

If that happens, I won’t be able to see you again.

But, don’t worry.

I’ll help you find your mask before they lock me up again.

Because I know the mask is very important to you.

Let’s go.

Useless.

You can’t even keep an eye on a merman.

You better send someone to retrieve him.

If he speaks in front of the cultivators,

he’ll reveal the secret about the Sky Hall’s existence.

Yes, my lord.

- The person responsible... - He defeated Gudiao in one blow.

I have never seen someone like that within the Five Great Sects.

Don’t tell me it’s the God of War? Or is it the Star of Mosha?

My lord, among all the cultivators,

there’s one who was not included in the namelist.

She’s Chu Ling Long, the daughter of Shaoyang Sect’s sect leader.

According to my investigation, Chu Ling Long’s birthday

was at 9 pm, on the fourth day of the fourth month 16 years ago.

It matches the time of Star of Mosha’s and God of War’s reincarnation.

Chu Ling Long?

Test her out.

Yes, my lord.

There’s nothing left.

There’s nothing left of the Gudiao.

How are we supposed to make Weeping Tears?

Xuan Ji is done for!

Ling Long, don’t cry.

- We’ll think of something. - Tell me then! I’m desperate!

Ling Long, stop crying.

It’s fine.

Even if I have to be locked up in Mingxia Cave again, it’s fine.

You dumb girl!

It’s fine even if you can’t see me for the rest of your life, right?

Ling Long!

Ling Long!

Did I say anything wrong?

Why was she angry with me?

You didn’t want to be locked up in Mingxia Cave.

But why did you say it was fine?

It’s true that I didn’t want to be locked up in Mingxia Cave,

but I didn’t want Ling Long to cry either.

I thought she would feel better after I told her those words.

It’s fine for them to

lock me up in Mingxia Cave, as long as Ling Long doesn’t feel sad.

You’re a dummy indeed.

But I was thinking about this.

If I were to end up in Mingxia Cave again,

I won’t be able to enjoy good food.

That’s why I want to eat everything I can before they send me back.

I’ll buy you anything you want to eat.

- Really? - Yeah.

It’s my compensation for the lost Gudiao’s horns.

Si Feng, you’re so kind.

Will you buy me anything I want to eat?

Let go of your hand.

Sir, all your dishes are here.

This is too valuable.

- It’s fine. - We’re a small shop... Keep the change.

Thank you, sir.

Enjoy your meal.

Come, try them.

Si Feng.

Why can’t I smell anything?

Look.

There are so many delicious food.

But I can’t smell them at all.

And now, I can’t identify if the songs on the street are good or not.

And the colour of the sunset.

And the incoming breezes.

I can’t feel anything.

I’m really envious of other people.

They can feel everything.

I’m sure their lives are great.

Hey, I think we should be more careful.

Why? I thought all the demons were slain?

- What was that? - Let’s check it out.

Capture him!

- Go! - Go!

But people are used to their lives.

They took their senses for granted.

And they forgot the fact that they enjoy such privileges.

Actually, many feelings are connected to each other.

Through food, you’ll experience different feelings as well.

This is a sweet snack.

When you eat it, you’ll feel satisfied.

This is happiness.

This is delicious.

This is lotus seed.

The core is very bitter.

When you eat it, you’ll feel terrible.

Just like how you feel

when you’re not happy.

Si Feng, this is too bitter for me. This is terrible.

This is a loquat.

It has a sour and bitter taste.

Some feelings are inexplicable.

Sometimes, you don’t dare to say the things you want to say.

You can experience those types of complex feelings

when you eat a loquat.

Si Feng, even though you’ve told me so much,

I don’t understand a thing.

Si Feng, you’re smiling.

You look great when you smile.

Just like the

iced wine.

Although it’s cold from the start,

it gets sweet and mesmerising when you get to taste them.

Si Feng, your smile is just like the wine.

That’s why your smile looks great.

You need to smile more often. Just like this.

Do you want me to continue or not?

Sometimes,

you want to eat something badly.

But you can’t eat it even when it’s in front of you.

This is what we called as

longing.

Si Feng, after all that you’ve said, I think I understood something.

But if that’s the case,

it’s even harder for me to return to Mingxia Cave.

Why aren’t you speaking?

The water demon on Mount Lutai has been captured!

Come and have a look!

Look at the water demon from Mount Lutai.

We’ve captured the water demon!

Si Feng, I think that’s the demon we encountered in the cave.

This is a merman.

Merman?

I heard that mermans are great in weaving cloth and singing.

People will be mesmerized by their songs.

Are they evil then?

All demons are different.

Some demons harm humans because they want to consume humans

in order to increase their powers.

But mermans are kind and gentle.

They won’t harm humans.

Are you crazy? What did you say?

You want to save the demon?

Tengu and Gudiao were the demons

that had harmed humans on Mount Lutai.

Mermans have nothing to do with this.

Mermans are kind.

And they’re not aggressive.

He’s innocent.

But he’s a demon. Aren’t all demons evil?

Demons are just like humans.

There are good and evil demons as well.

The merman doesn’t deserve this.

I will try to save him.

You just need to pretend that you don’t know anything.

The townsfolk said that the merman was an evil demon.

And they bullied him and pelted him with stones.

But when we were in the mountains, he didn’t try to harm us at all.

He even tried to help us.

Father said that everything happens for a reason.

Maybe that’s the reason why fate has lead us to him again.

Si Feng, I’ll follow you and save him.

I can keep watch.

Okay. Count me in.

Since I need to take care of Xuan Ji.

Must you save him?

Fine.

I don’t care anymore.

I treat you as my brother.

I won’t stand here and do nothing.

I’ll follow you.

Follow me.

We’re here to save you.

Four of you, go and capture the merman.

I’ll meet

Chu Ling Long who’s born on the 4th day of the 4th month myself.
