Swords of Legends II

Episode 21

But do keep in mind.

Our agreement.

So long as you keep your promise and be honest with me,

I'll do my best.

Or, nobody will have a good time.

They had worked for me for years,

always being obedient,

and kept secrets well.

Why did you have to kill them?

The softness of women!

What a withered Jumu tree means.

Haven't I told you that?

A withered Jumu tree

means the blood of God Shen Nong in it

is running out.

When that happens,

it'll be the end for both the Jumu tree and Liuyue City.

In the whole city,

few people know about the secret.

But the secret won't be a secret forever.

Once it gets leaked out, not to mention Li Ying,

even our common citizens will take some actions.

But we have really killed too many people.

If what we did is for the sake of the Lieshan tribe,

then those who were killed are part of it too.

Then you should find a way to make their death meaningful.

This is odd.

I've considered all possibilities.

The only explanation is that

someone has told Li Ying about the withered Jumu tree.

With all due respect, I don't think so.

Your magic is quite superb,

yet not without flaw.

Li Ying has been in a state of tranquility all day.

It's possible that he should sense it.

Before we figure it out,

do stay alert.

There's another thing.

Since Taiyin priest is gone,

we need someone to take over his job.

Send Feng Ya.

(Baicao Valley)

Someone! The stretcher!

Easy.

Take Wenren Yu to her room.

Without my order,

nobody can see her.

Senior brother, don't get emotional

in front of the General.

Rest assured, Yu. I know what to do.

Hold on. This is...

He will go to see the General with me.

Yue, please come with me to the General

as a witness.

I'll get another room arranged for you.

Don't even think about it!

I won't leave Wenren alone by herself.

Wenren?

Wenren.

You're awake?

Here, let me help you.

Careful.

I'll go get you some water.

Here. Have some water.

What is it? Something wrong?

Wuyi, you don't have to do this.

I don't deserve it.

Wenren, don't be silly.

Just focus on getting better,

and don't worry about other things.

No matter what it takes,

I'll help you get well.

Drink it.

I'll go decoct the herbs.

General, that's the whole story.

After kidnapping the master,

they blew up the Wuyan Temple.

According to Wenren Yu,

the Liuyue City was trying to hide the secret about the demonized men.

Sima Zhuo. Su Qiong.

Is what Corporal Qin said the whole truth?

General,

it is.

I went to the Wuyan Temple in person,

and it was indeed blew up to ground.

No evidence has been left.

General, the Wuyan Temple was destroyed.

But that Commander Cheng was again taken away

came from Wenren Yu.

We didn't see it ourselves.

So Corporal Su,

may I ask where my master is?

I have no idea.

General,

I know Wenren Yu

would never risk lying about the safety of her own master.

That's true. General,

Wenren Yu broke the regulation to leave the valley,

but she did it for Commander Cheng' s sake.

If it were not for her,

we would have known nothing about Liuyue City.

Please show some mercy,

give her the antidote to offset the forbidden magic.

And punish her when she gets well.

Please, General.

I don't think so!

Who are you?

General, my respect.

As far as I know,

according to the rules of the Tiangang Army,

warriors ranking below Corporal

can't leave the valley without order.

Or they'll be punished with 50 hits of rods.

And as for those who refuse to return,

the Army shall behead them as deserters.

Am I right?

Corporal Qin?

Commander Jin, I heard you.

About this, I'll deliver a satisfactory account to the second prince.

General, Baicao Valley takes no order from the government.

Why should we give them an account?

True.

Baicao Valley does not answer to the government.

However, in terms of military issues,

it has made agreements with the government.

If Tiangang warriors

are to enter regions near the capital,

they have to report it to the government first.

Do you think this is an empty rule?

If lots of Tiangang warriors

entered the capital without report,

they should be punished.

But this time there was only Wenren Yu,

why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?

Commander Jin, may I ask why can't the government just leave her alone?

Corporal Qin,

that's a really fascinating question.

One warrior breaking the rule

doesn't count as breaking the rule?

You...

Plus,

the General has already made up his mind.

Corporal Qin,

do you mean to disobey the order?

General, I...

Wenren Yu left the valley without report,

which broke the military regulations of Tiangang Army.

Then she disobeyed the order

and refused to return.

Corporal Qin,

no more interceding on her behalf.

But...

Enough.

I order you to imprison Wenren Yu.

She'll be beheaded tomorrow.

Good!

The Baicao Army is indeed highly disciplined.

When Wenren Yu is beheaded tomorrow,

I'll go back to Chang' an

and report it to the second prince.

I won't disturb you, then.

Excuse me.

Corporal Qin, see you.

Wenren?

Qin Yang, where is Wenren?

I'm asking you! Where's Wenren?

The General ordered Su Qiong to imprison Yu.

She'll be beheaded tomorrow.

Yue!

Get out of my way!

Would you just calm down?

At Baicao Valley,

nobody can disobey the General's order.

Qin Yang,

you offered to take Wenren back to treat her.

You promised nothing would happen to her!

But now?

But taking her out of here

would be of no use!

Baicao Valley is surrounded by Tiangang warriors.

It's impossible to make it out of here!

You can't help her,

but only kill her.

Then what should I do?

Stand still and watch her being beheaded?

Let me handle it.

Yu and I grew up together.

She and my master

are all that I have in the world.

I won't let them behead her.

I really don't understand

why is leaving the valley so heinous a crime!

Why must the General sentence her to death?

The General has his own difficulties.

The second prince has sent someone here?

No sooner had I left here,

Commander Jin led 100 horse guards here.

At first,

they merely asked for our help to arrest Yu.

But soon changed mind after hearing she had come back,

and they want to see her dead.

I don't care.

I just want to make sure Wenren is okay.

You really care so much about Yu?

Enough talking.

Is there anything we can do to save her?

There is one thing.

What is it?

There are Yan, Medicine, Science

and Law four Mohists at Baicao Valley,

who hold the same authority as the General.

Among them, Master Mo Yi

is an intimate friend of my master.

If he can intercede with the General,

it's possible for Yu to avoid beheading.

Take me to him. Now!

Okay.

Master Mo Yi has an eccentric character.

No matter what happens,

do not irritate him. Got it?

Don't worry.

We are both Yanjia engineers.

When he sees me,

he'll wish if only we could have met earlier.

Good. Let's hurry up.

It's over there.

Master Mo Yi?

Master Mo Yi!

Master Mo Yi!

Master Mo Yi!

Shouting from here is rude.

Wait...

Watch out! There're traps.

Yue, you...

Yanjia traps all over here.

Let me clear them first.

Qin, don't worry now!

All cleared now!

Yue, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let's go find Master Mo Yi.

Okay. Let's go.

Master Mo Yi, it's Qin Yang.

May I have a talk with you?

Master Mo Yi, please.

Yue, maybe Master Mo Yi is not here.

How do you know?

He may be sleeping.

I'll go knock the door.

Yue!

What's this?

You little bastard turtle.

Stop there. Stop!

Master Mo Yi. I am Qin Yang.

You're Master Mo Yi?

My respect.

You dumbheads.

Why are you standing here?

Go and get the Yanjia turtle!

Yanjia...turtle?

Yes. Go get it!

Okay. Leave it to me.

Got you!

Master Mo Yi, here you are.

It has wings?

Young man, let it go if it's too much for you.

Don't play tough.

Don't worry. Master Mo Yi!

I can take care of it!

He is the apprentice to Xie Yi?

A Yanjia engineer?

That's right, Master Mo Yi. He is.

Master Mo Yi, why is this Yanjia turtle

so hard to tackle?

Master Mo Yi?

Yue, are you alright?

Fine.

Master Mo Yi...your Yanjia turtle...

I got it.

Too slow.

I'm getting hungry with the tea.

Your Yanjia turtle is too hard to control.

I can't tame it.

I'll pull out its energy driver,

and make you a new one for you tonight.

Okay. We'll see.

Master Mo Yi, we have come here today

to ask for your help.

Please intercede with the General

to spare Wenren Yu.

Please, Master.

I've heard about it.

How about this?

Young man, I'll ask you a question.

If you can answer it,

I may consider to help you.

Okay, Master. Please.

My question is

why it took you so long to catch this Yanjia turtle?

Well...

You don't know.

I...

You have no idea.

He has no idea!

Let me tell you.

It seemed that I was drinking tea,

but secretly, I was manipulating it with my magic power.

How can I let you, a junior,

seize something without effort that I can't catch myself?

Where is Master Xie Yi now?

He is gone.

People from Liuyue City murdered him.

What?

I see.

Xie Yi and I are old friends.

Twenty years ago,

he came here and warned us

about some spirit-devouring demonized trees.

Demonized trees?

Are they those Jumu trees

placed in Langde Village by Liuyue City?

I think so.

What a pity.

Because there was demonic air around Xie Yi,

nobody in Baicao Valley would believe in him.

But there's no demonic air

whatsoever around my master.

There was indeed.

At Baicao Valley,

everyone viewed him as a demon.

Only months ago,

when Commander Cheng accidentally found out the cause

of the sandstorm in An'yang through the Guanyue tree,

did people believe that what Xie Yi said is true.

Demonic air?

Why would it be found around my master?

Master Mo Yi,

Wenren Yu left the valley in order to save our master.

Now she's gonna be beheaded.

Please, for the sake of your friendship with my master,

help her. Intercede with the General.

Well...

The Baicao Valley has its rules.

We mohists can't interfere in military issues.

Therefore, I...

I'm afraid I can't help you.

Can't help you.

Master Mo Yi, you...

Excuse me.

You're going back on your word.

I'm not.

What you're asking is beyond my capability.

It's a life-and-death matter.

You shouldn't make fun of it

even if you can't help us.

Bastard!

Now you're being rude.

Master Mo Yi,

please calm down.

We're at our wits' end.

It's getting increasingly dangerous for Yu as time ticks away.

I can't intercede with the General,

because rules are rules.

But I didn't say I wouldn't help.

Please enlighten us.

Who is this Master Yuan Er?

Master Yuan Er is good at making medicine,

also one of the four mohists.

This old fellow,

no one's more eccentric than him.

Don't expect him to be amicable as me.

So...he would help Wenren?

I've come here myself.

How dare he refuse to help?

If he...

Is he insane?

I've told him that

interests kills ambitions while medicine kills men.

Let's help him. Come on!

Hurry up!

Old fellow!

Yuan Er!

Yuan Er!

Yuan Er!

Yuan Er!

Yuan Er!

Yuan Er!

My old fellow.

Master Yuan Er.

Are you alright? Master Yuan Er?

Here.

Master Yuan Er?

Old fellow, are you okay?

Where's my medicine?

My medicine!

Old fellow.

Are you crazy?

Forget about it.

Old fellow, get out of my way.

That's my treasure in there.

Easy.

Watch your steps.

Careful.

We'll find it.

Right, we will.

Come on.

Hold firm of him.

Old bastard,

why are you at my home instead of yours?

You old bastard.

Blew up the house again.

Someday you will blow yourself up too.

Who are you to lecture me?

So obsessed with your Yanjia work.

Hardly leave the room.

You'd better marry a Yanjia robot!

Why bother to visit me?

Get lost!

You...

I...marrying a Yanjia robot

is way better

than living with a bunch of insects.

Someday when the centipede evolves into a monster,

it'll eat you alive.

Did you get them all?

Old bastard,

you never come here with good news.

What do you need this time?

Good job getting out the medicine.

Yuan Er, I know that

you are mean.

But people should always be grateful.

I won't ask too much of you.

Just give me an antidote to treat the counter effect the forbidden magic

to return this favor, okay?

I knew it.

So it's for the girl.

You wanna break the rules of Baicao Valley?

I'm not.

Master, please...

Shut up.

That's enough. Get out.

Master Yuan Er...

Get out!

- Master... - Out!

All of you, out!

Master...

- Please... - Out!

Get out!

Easy!

Don't push me!

- Leave! - Master...

You old bastard!

Master!

Master Yuan Er!

Master Yuan Er, please!

You can save a life!

Forget about it.

He's got an unbelievably bad temper.

Master Yuan Er!

Dignity. Boys.

Don't beg him.

Let's go.

M...Master Mo Yi, don't go.

I won't beg him.

Master Yuan Er!

Master Yuan Er!

Please help us!

I won't.

Master Mo Yi!

Master Mo Yi, hold on!

- Take care! - Master Mo Yi!

He really pissed me off.

That old bastard.

Ungrateful!

Treats me like that.

Master Mo Yi! Hold on!

When you are in trouble...

Master Mo Yi!

I'll be damned

to help you.

Just wait and see.

Do something, Master Mo Yi!

Master, when did you...

Just now.

When you were fighting with Master Yuan Er?

I could take the medicine while fighting with him.

This medicine

can't help Wenren Yu get fully recovered.

But it can offset the forbidden magic,

thus keeping her alive.

Thank you, Master.

Thanks for your help.

Don't thank me.

If Yuan Er was determined not to help,

I'd never have managed to steal it from him.

You mean...

I...

Master Mo Yi!

Okay, I'm home.

You can leave now.

See you.

Master Mo Yi,

how about the intercession?

You caught the Yanjia turtle for me.

And I got you the antidote.

Favor returned.

I owe you nothing.

I'm busy,

and won't keep you for dinner.

Master Mo Yi...

Master Mo Yi!

Master Mo Yi!

Now the antidote is here,

but how can we give it to Wenren?

Any idea?

Qin,

you're a Tiangang warrior,

Better not to get involved in this.

How about giving it to me?

I'll come up with something.

What will you do?

Break into the prison?

I...

Of course not.

I'm not that reckless.

Then what's your plan?

I don't know for now.

But I can't just sit around.

Which means you don't have a plan.

Leave it to me.

What's your plan then?

The warrior delivering food is my junior brother.

I'll ask him to take the antidote to Yu.

Wenren gets the antidote,

and is recovered.

But what then?

She'll be beheaded tomorrow!

I'll figure it out.

No way.

Tell me whatever plan you've got.

I can help you.

Yu is my junior sister.

It's my duty to save her.

And I won't bother you.

Qin Yang!

Listen!

If you don't have a sure card,

give the antidote to me.

Yue!

Don't make it harder for me.

Please trust me.

Yu is my junior sister.

I will get her out safe and sound.

Qin Yang!

Your Highness.

Something from Jin Sheng?

No word from Commander Jin.

A Taoist is waiting outside to see you.

Master Ming Chuan?

Go and show him into my study.

Yes, your Highness.

Your Highness.

You are?

Taoist Feng Ya, your Highness.

What brings you here, Master?

I'm an old friend of Ming Chuan.

And I come here today on his behalf.

Ming Chuan has made me promise

to give this to you in person.

Let me have a look.

What is this?

Open it, and you'll know.

The flavor of human skin.

Superb.

And these are my two presents for you.

Do you like them?

Well?

About the withered Jumu tree.

Believe me now?

I appreciate your sincerity.

Tell me.

What's Shen Ye' s plan?

The Divine Sword Zhaoming. Have you heard of it?

The ancient sword which can cut all spirit energy connection in the world?

Exactly.

Legend has it that during God Fu Xi's fight with the turtle of east sea,

sword Zhao Ming was broken,

and nowhere to be found.

Are you saying that Shen Ye

has already got a clue as to the whereabouts of its pieces?

It was Xie Yi who got the clue.

One thing led to another,

now his apprentice who's in the human world has got it.

To hide it from you,

Shen Ye won't take any action now.

But when the sword fragments are collected,

he'll take it as a whole.

That's a good plan indeed.

Do you know where this apprentice of Xie Yi is?

It's a big world,

but it won't be much difficult to find him.

If you can get rid of him for me,

and make sure sword Zhaoming stay broken forever,

I'll help you become the Supreme Priest,

replacing Shen Ye.

What do you say?

To show my sincerity,

I have another big gift for you.

This is a man of power here,

who shares the same goal with us.

And he wants to get rid of Xie Yi' s apprentice, too.

In terms of power,

isn't the king of the Eastern Land a better option?

The king of Eastern Land established the kingdom

by fighting wars.

He's close to various sects.

It won't be easy to have him as a target.

I hope you're right.

That this charming body does have some value.

My entity cannot leave Liuyue City for long,

lest Shen Ye' s suspicion be aroused

and causes unnecessary problems.

How about infusing the demonic air into my...

no,

his body?

For convenience.

Your Highness.

This...is...

the wooden pin on Master Ming Chuan's hair bun?

So where is he now?

He's dead.

What?

Ming Chuan asked me

to assist Your Highness heart and soul,

to carry on his unfinished course.

He said this wooden pin was a token,

which would make Your Highness believe me.

A mere token would make me believe me?

Prove you're valuable.

Your Highness,

how was that?

Master, I'll rely on you from now on.

Yize?

Yize, what's wrong?

Is it the seal?

Let me help you repair the seal, okay?

No.

It will consume cultivation to repair the seal.

Your spirit energy is above pure.

I'm afraid my monster power will harm you.

But you'll die of pain.

But Miss Ruan...

No need to say more.

Plus, you have to return to the human form

so that we can find the Celestial Device

and save your mother.

Do you want to go to your father

in the form of a merman?

Okay.
