Swords of Legends II

Episode 6

Supreme Priest, you don't look well today.

What are you doing here?

Supreme Priest, when we made the deal,

you have promised to help

Holy Trees Jumu grow all over the world,

in exchange for affecting the Lieshan Tribe with my power,

so that your people wouldn't have to worry about the foul air of humans,

and could settle down there.

- Right? - That's true.

And I didn't forget about it.

However, my dear Supreme Priest,

up until now,

there are few Jumu down the world.

I've been waiting for too long.

According to the scouts I sent to the human world,

the trees we put in Anyang

have already aroused the suspicion of the Easter Kingdom.

We can't rush it,

or all the previous efforts will be wasted.

That's not the concern of a demon like me.

If you feel pity for the human beings,

I can make a concession

to swallow the hatred and fear here in the Liuyue City.

I don't mind starting with her.

Try it,

if you dare.

The seven emotions and faith are too delicious,

especially hatred and fear,

which are the strongest and the most enduring.

When they slide down through the throat,

the sticky and smooth pleasure

is more wonderful than human blood.

Don't keep me waiting for too long.

And do keep in mind

that I'm watching over you every second.

Is there really any rice in here?

So we have no money. No big deal.

Don't act like you're dying.

This is the first time that I've felt

that being poor is worse than death.

Wenren Yu, you've been wandering alone for many years.

How did you earn money?

Working as a bodyguard.

And if the employer is unreliable,

I could only resign myself to it.

Wenren Yu! What's that supposed to mean?

Are you implying that I have no money to pay you?

When I'm back to the Palace, I'll pay you 1000 taels of silver,

and have you stood guard at the gate of the Palace.

Really?

I mean what I say.

1000 taels are too much.

I'll take 500 teals.

You...

Let alone 500 taels,

if you could get me five taels,

I'll give you 5000 taels back when I get home.

In the past, a random piece of timber I bought

would cost several gold ingots.

While now, I don't have even five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver can sustain a normal family for half a year.

50 pennies is all it takes

to get us out of the current trouble.

Talking is the easy part.

Go find the money if you can!

It's not hard.

However,

it makes no sense that

I should earn money to feed you two employers.

You...

Wenren Yu, don't you look down on us.

Of course Zhao Ning and I can find a way to earn money.

Okay.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Fine! Let's have a competition

to see who can earn more money.

If you lose...

you'll...

If you lose, don't cry.

I'm not gonna cry!

Wait, no.

I'm not gonna lose!

By the way, don't go to the pawn shop.

You have many royal articles with you.

- If others know... - Fine, we're aware of it.

Okay! Then I'm going to make some money.

Zhao Ning, how are you gonna earn money?

Well...

I'll come up with something.

I won't lose.

You've been harsh on Wenren Yu these days.

Did she offend you?

Harsh?

Do you mean she's tender than me?

That's not even close to what I mean.

Fine, just go.

Mind you...

How am I going to make money?

Doing carpentry?

That's it.

Excuse me? Did I hear you wrong?

No, you didn't. It's worth 10 taels of silver.

But this bracelet is a royal... is made by jade and

adorned with gold which is worth more than 200 taels!

Your offer is a rip off!

True that it is very precious.

But since you won't tell me where it comes from,

I have to take it as a stolen one.

A stolen one is only worth this much.

10 taels. It's the final offer.

You...

I'm not pawning it!

10 taels? Are you kidding me?

Once I get back home,

I'll have this gangster shop torn down!

Bravo! Once more!

Bravo!

That's marvelous!

Bravo!

Wenren Yu?

Amazing!

Good job! Nice one!

Bravo!

Do that again!

Real amazing.

Thank you.

- You can earn money like that? - Thanks.

Thank you.

Oh my god. So she worked so hard

for so little money.

Nice show.

That's embarrassing.

Done. I'm such a genius.

Wuyi.

Why...why did you paint my Yanjia Bird

back to the original?

Since when it is your Yanjia Bird?

By the way,

did it agreed to be painted

like a monster by you?

Have you ever asked me?

Have you asked Big Brother?

Shut up.

It was meant as a birthday gift for me!

I only gave it to you for safekeeping for the time being.

Whatever.

What's this?

I just put it on. It's called the voice recording stone.

All we said can be stored in here.

And when you want to hear it,

just press here.

So now I can talk to my parents.

What are you waiting for?

Talk to them. Tell them we need money.

Dad, mom, don't worry about me.

Zhao Ning and I are both safe.

We've hired a body guard.

I've decided to go find Master Xie Yi and follow him.

So you might not see me in Chang' an for a while.

Rest assured.

We lack for nothing.

What are you talking about?

We lack for money very much.

You don't understand.

The more I keep saying that,

the more likely they'll send me money.

Really?

Wait and see.

That's great, Wuyi.

You're the best.

Why hasn't Wenren Yu come back?

Zhao Ning, are you okay?

Are you sick?

I'm too hungry to talk.

Finally.

Here you are.

Also, I've renewed the lease.

Two steamed meat buns and one plain bun.

Why not three meat buns?

One with meat costs three plain ones.

Just be content.

I'll have the one without meat.

And you can have the stuffed ones.

When in the army,

I couldn't eat meat for years.

I've got used to it.

Wenren, how did you get the money?

Why? You wanna help?

Of course not.

I'll have money in a few days.

I'm just curious.

Don't be curious. Just eat.

This is really delicious.

Wuyi, where are you going?

Zhao Ning,

don't you want to know

where does Wenren Yu get the money?

Leave her alone,

as long as we can eat meat buns.

But I can't eat them without wondering

that what if she gets the money illegally?

It's okay.

She earned it by performing on the street.

Street performance?

Slow down.

Bravo!

There she is.

Nice show!

Marvelous!

Bravo! Bravo!

Don't stop!

Amazing!

I see.

Wuyi, what are you doing?

I'm going to help her.

No, you're not.

We are too noble

to do that.

But we can't let her do all the hard work.

Plus, she's doing that for us.

But...

Zhao Ning, it's okay.

You're from the royal family,

so just stay here and I'll go help her.

Bravo!

Out of my way!

Move!

Out of the way.

I say move!

Hurry!

Nice one!

Impressive.

Girl,

you have performed this yesterday.

I'm tired of it.

Anything new?

What do you want to see?

If you can wield this,

I'll give you 10 taels of silver.

Do you really mean it?

You bet I do.

Bravo!

Good job!

Well done!

Amazing.

Give her the money!

We all heard it.

Hurry up!

You have promised.

10 taels!

Zhao Ning,

we'll eat the plain buns

and leave the meat buns to Wenren, okay?

Okay.

What takes you so long?

Girl,

you didn't wield it very well,

which wasn't what I expected.

So you can't have the money.

What did you expect?

Your performance

was full of strength but lacked agility.

It was so because you're wearing too much.

If you take off several layers...

Take her down!

I'll take her home and teach her a lesson!

Yes, boss.

We're on it.

Shame on you for bullying a girl.

Come and fight me.

You've got a helper?

Take him!

Jingang!

What...what is this?

What's this damned thing?

No idea.

It...it is a wood spirit that vomits poisonous smoke.

That's right.

You have guessed correct.

My friend here

is exactly an one-thousand-year wood spirit.

Jingang,

show yourself

and tear them into pieces.

Let's go!

Bravo! Good job!

Well done!

That's the right thing to do!

Stop!

Jingang.

Do take good care of this jade bracelet.

I'll have somebody come back for it.

If it is lost,

all your families will be beheaded!

Who is it?

Wenren,

it's you.

It's late now, so I thought it was Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning seems to be out.

I haven't seen her all night.

Come in.

You're repairing Jingang?

It got a little damaged during the fight.

But no big deal.

I'll fix it in no time.

So, is there anything?

I picked it up on the way back.

It can light the nights

with a tender glow.

So that you can work on Yanjia at night

without candles.

Interesting!

Look at the glow.

So bright.

So tender.

Much better than candles.

Wenren, I didn't expect you to be so considerate.

It can even shine into the slot.

Wenren,

look! Look at this!

See?

-You... - You...

What?

Wenren, you go first.

Thank you for today.

Not at all.

It was the right thing to do.

Should we light the candle?

Okay.

Wuyi.

What are you doing?

Excuse me.

Strange. Why am I panicking?

There's nothing to panic me.

It's very late.

What is Wenren Yu doing in your room?

She came to give me something.

Where did you get the water crystal?

Well...it's from Wenren Yu.

Why would she give you this?

She just happened to pick it up,

and gave it to me for making Yanjia at night.

Wuyi,

why are you blushing?

I...

I'm blushing?

Yes, you are!

Well...it's the room. It's hot here.

Wuyi, look.

I got you a fire crystal.

I saw the water crystal, too.

But it's cheap,

much cheaper than this,

and uglier.

You deserve the best.

Zhao Ning,

price is not everything.

Look,

the water crystal gives off a tender glow,

which is good for the eyes.

Yue Wuyi!

You just like what she gave to you.

Am I right?

Of course not.

Fine. Forget it.

Zhao Ning,

hold on.

So?

Changed your mind?

Well, Zhao Ning,

maybe you should return this.

Yue Wuyi,

you...

We need to save every penny now!

Isn't...isn't it the young master's Yanjia Bird?

Master! Madam!

Message from the young master!

Dad, mom,

don't worry about me.

Zhao Ning and I are both safe.

We've hired a body guard.

I've decided to go find Master Xie Yi and follow him.

So you might not see me in Chang' an for a while.

Rest assured.

I lack for nothing.

Darling,

you've played it for three times.

I'd love to.

I'll play it 30 times every day.

Just shut up.

Madam!

Madam, I've get it all rolled up.

Here's a 10-tael-worth note. This is a 100.

And this one 500.

All perfectly rolled up.

Good job.

Well...

darling...

listen to me,

Wuyi has said that he

lacks for nothing.

What do you know?

He's being a good boy and comforting us.

How can he lack nothing without us by his side?

Yes, he's grown up.

That's enough.

That will do, darling.

It'll be too heavy for the Yanjia Bird.

Wuyi has never been so far away from home.

What if he needs more money?

He is my only son.

How can I rest assured?

Go.

Yes, Madam.

Judged by Wuyi' s voice,

he is safe now.

And if what he said is true,

that he'll follow Master Xie Yi wholeheartedly,

it'll be a good way to stay away from the trouble.

Right?

This brat.

How can I not worry about him?

(Xuanmiao Temple)

Help!

Let me out!

Let me out of here!

- Somebody help me! - Man,

it has pretty amazing strength.

More than that,

it's also mischievous.

Full of schemes.

Let out of me!

This is strange.

I saw them walk in.

Where could they be?

Such a heavy smell of blood.

Mr Xia,

you're not supposed to be here.

I activated the device by accident,

and...

Let's step out first.

I'm sorry for

intruding on Xuanmiao Temple's forbidden place.

Please accept my apology.

It's not a forbidden place,

so much as a place where we purify the monsters.

Purify the monsters?

But Master,

if it's merely purifying,

why is there a tang of blood?

You don't think those are

good monsters we purify, do you?

Please enlighten me.

Before the Xuanmiao Temple was established here,

it used to be a monster's lair.

A demon's lair?

Many years ago,

there was a powerful monster,

who happened to find an Ancient Secret scroll,

following which he had his monster bone removed,

disguised as a human being,

and committed countless crimes.

Here was its lair back then.

Are you suggesting that

the demon actually managed to get rid of all its monster blood?

That's right.

After that, the human being it disguised as

was no different from the mortals.

Thus for a while, it was hard to trace it,

even for us Taoist priests.

Until one day,

my master, Taoist Hong Ye came here,

and killed it.

Then what happened to the secret scroll?

If it is leaked out

and falls into the hands of the evil demons,

wouldn't it be a disaster?

Don't worry.

It's safely kept by Master Xie Yi.

No chance others can get hold of it.

The world's best Yanjia Engineer

Master Xie Yi?

Exactly.

Truth is, my master was losing both the battle

and his life to the demon.

Luckily, Master Xie Yi passed by,

and helped him take it down.

After that,

Master Xie Yi

sealed the secret scroll into the Celestial Device.

Celestial Device?

A piece of Yanjia work he's proud of.

May I ask where Master Xie Yi is?

Mr Xia,

you seem to be pretty interested in the secret scroll.

It's just that

I've known and admired Master Xie Yi for a long time.

If I can visit him

when fully recovered,

I'd have no regret my whole life.

However,

if this is too much to ask,

we can just leave it here.

Master Xie Yi is traveling around the world without a fixed itinerary.

Over the years,

legends of him are being told everywhere.

I'm sorry,

but I have no idea about his whereabouts.

Thank you, anyway.

The monster who had left the scroll

deserves the cruelest punishment.

Do you think that

the scroll was composed by the monsters?

No one can be as evil as them to have done it.

But I don't think the scroll was necessarily

the work of a monster.

Why is that?

As far as I'm concerned,

there's no clear distinction between human beings and monsters.

There's nothing either good or evil,

but thinking makes it so.

It might be that some gods of the ancient times

were moved by some monsters' stubbornness to turn into human beings,

thus working out the scroll.

Stubbornness to turn into human beings?

Mr Xia,

that's ridiculous.

A monster is always a monster.

Even free of the monster blood,

their cruel nature is still retained.

Should I come across them,

I'll certainly pull out their tendons, chop their bones,

drink their blood,

and eat their flesh.

Mr Xia,

you're still recovering.

Let's call it a day and have some rest.

That' ll be fine.

Thank you, for enlightening me.

How much is the dagger?

Good taste.

To be honest,

the dagger is made from darksteel,

and its sheath snakeskin.

I'll charge you two taels of silver.

I can offer one tael at most.

Are you kidding?

One...one tael and a half, final offer.

Let's go.

Two taels is reasonable.

Not costly.

I'll pay.

Thank you, sir.

Hold on.

I hired Wenren Yu.

You need to ask me

before buying things for her.

Why?

I'm her employer, too.

What's more, it was Wenren who earned the money.

You have no right to oppose.

You...

Wenren Yu! Wait for me.

Yue Wuyi, stop!

Split up.

Keep distance.

Wenren,

seriously,

don't ever waste your time

for so little money.

That would be so tiring.

But I...

I know.

You did it because we lack money.

But we can always make money by performing on the street.

We made quite a lot without much effort the other day.

I think I won't have to ask dad for money again,

with our diligence and ability.

We may even get rich, right,

Zhao Ning?

In society,

people always bargain with each other.

I...

Wuyi,

why did you want to buy the dagger for Wenren Yu?

Precious jewels, rare treasures, and various sundry items!

I'm asking you!

Don't miss these when you pass by!

Precious jewels, rare treasures, and various sundry items!

Come and have a look!

Zhao Ning,

there's a cloth store over there.

You said that you wanted to buy a dress yesterday?

Cloth store?

I'll go have a look.

Wenren Yu,

come with me.

Why?

I don't like buying clothes.

And I don't like the idea

of leaving you here alone with Wuyi.

Come on!

Let's have a look.

Okay.

Feel free to pick up whatever you like.

Here's more. Come over.

Sir,

please help yourself.

I'd like to buy a present.

Any recommendation?

Well, girls like rouge, perfume, and jewelry.

By the way,

here's a jade bracelet embellished with gold.

A rare treasure indeed.

Perfect as a gift to the girl you like.

No, that's not it.

I don't like her.

I'm just returning a favor.

How about this gold Kylin?

Looks cool.

This should compare to the water crystal Wenren bought me.

Sir, you really have a good taste

and a good eye.

I'll charge you two taels of silver.

No bargaining.

This one is good. Let's buy it.

Okay.

Excuse me,

how much is it?

This one? Four pennies.

Sir.

Sir.

Please hold on!

Are you talking to me?

Yes.

It's exactly you who I am calling.

How can I help you?

I could feel an icy spirit of the sword even from a long distance.

If I'm right,

you have a sword with you.

Am I right?

A sword?

That must be Hanguang.

Hanguang?

That's a good name.

I'm wondering

maybe you could show it to me?

A nice sword, indeed.

You're an expert?

Good.

Why don't you tell me why it is a nice sword?

It seems that you don't know much about swords.

How about selling it to me?

I'll make you a good offer.

Anyway, it's one of dad's treasures,

which I shouldn't sell.

But it's also an evil sword

that causes me dizziness every time.

And I'm in short of the money.

So, what's your offer?

20,000 taels?

2,000?

200?

20.

20? And you call this a good offer?

Just go and mind your business.

Sir!

I'm afraid that it's not up to you.

20 taels of silver.

Here you are.

The sword.

I'll take it.

Business done.

Sir,

See you.

Let's go.

Too expensive. We can't afford them.

Buying dress is women' s nature.

Why can't I, as a princess, buy some?

Wuyi!

Why is Yue Wuyi standing there?

Yue Wuyi.

Yue Wuyi?

Wuyi.

Wuyi?

Something's wrong.

The mind control skill.

20 taels? I'm not an idiot!

20 taels?

What?

What did you sell?

My sword Hanguang!

What?

Did he go this way?

I don't know.

Wu...Wuyi,

wait for me.

Do you see him?

This is terrible!

Hanguang Swordis my father's treasure.

If I lose it,

my mother will give me a real smacking.

Don't worry.

I won't let anyone smack you,

even your mother.

Wuyi,

do you remember what he looks like?

20 taels of silver.

Here you are.

No, I don't remember.

Really?

So he's really good at the mind control skill,

for he was able to swipe his face from your memory.

What should we do now?

It's only been thirty minutes since we went in the cloth store.

Whoever that has the sword can't be far away.

Let's keep searching.

Wait for me!

Dear god.

How lucky I am!

I can finally become somebody!

This sword is as least one thousand years old.

I'll be rich!

How rich will it be?

At least ten thousand...

You...who are you?

Where the hell are you from?

You...

What?

Are you

the...sword spirit?

S...sir,

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Sir,

please, I'm sorry.

Please...spare me.

How dare you, a thief,

to touch sword Hanguang?

Return it to its original owner!

Y...yes, sir.

I'll return it now.

Please forgive me.

I...I'll return it right now.

That's despicable.

Sir, you are really amazing.

Sorry. I'm really sorry.

What else do you have?

Sir,

now I know you have great power.

I'm really impressed.

I won't dare to offend you again.

Sorry.

Please.

- So despicable. - Sorry.

It's no good sparing you.

Help!

Wait for me!

I can't breathe.

Help!

Let's go inside.

Zhao Ning, stay here.

Why?

We don't know who the thief is.

He might be very dangerous.

Stay here and don't wander around.

Let's go.

Okay.

Help!

Stop it!
