Episode 25

Teacher, aren't you taking us to go find Superior Immortal Tan Fan?

But Superior Immortal should be living near where immortals usually do.

But here... it looks like an otherworldly eden, hidden away from everywhere else!

That's right!

Because I heard that not long ago, Superior Immortal Tan Fan had returned to live in this forest!

Live in this forest? Why?

I don't know about that.

The immortal power of the heavens and earth are gathered here.

It can cleanse the soul, hideaway from the mortal world. To be secluded in a place like this, is not bad at all.

But Teacher,

Didn't you say that the more power someone had, the more responsibility they had to take up?

Since Superior Immortal Tan Fan could become one of the Five Superior Immortals,

why doesn't he go do some things within his power,

but instead choose to hide away in a forest?

Not everyone in this world might think that way.

Some people like to explore the world

Some people like to stay in secluded mountain and forest to become a poet

There is no right or wrong, just a different choice..

Teacher, Superior Immortal Tan Fan lives here?

Is anyone here?

Excuse me, are you Superior Immortal Tan Fan?

Excuse me, are you Superior Immortal Tan Fan?

Are you Superior Immortal Tan Fan?

This...

Excuse me, which of you is Superior Immortal Tan Fan?

Teacher, this...

Are they triplets?

This Superior Immortal Tan Fan is too amazing!

Just what is going on?

You'll know in a bit.

Long time no see. Let me treat you to some food.

Hurry and go!

I thought he'd be like Teacher, dressed in white and really cold.

If they are together, would play chess, and do other boring stuff

But I know, Superior Immortal Tan Fan hates chess the most. He likes to eat meat and drink wine the most.

Legend has it that he can sit in the sky

and watch over everyone on Earth. He is most skilled in Split Body and Profound Observation.

Always unrestrained and unconstrained.

No wonder he stays away from the sects.

Quickly go.

Customers, what would you like to eat?

-Three white rice.-Okay, be right up!

Three white rice!

Teacher, what is three white rice? Is it especially delicious?

I do not know either.

Please enjoy.

White vegetables, added with white tofu, and then white rice is three white rice?

Precisely.

Even though I'm a bug, I still can't not eat meat!

Teacher, let's have just a little.

Yes, why aren't you eating?

Then I'll eat first.

I'll have white vegetables first!

It's delicious!

Your disciple is quite meaningful.

She has a good eye for things, and a fortunate air.

Then..you're not lying to me right?

It's true! Give it a try if you don't believe me.

-Waiter, bring me some wine.-Okay!

Please.

Come.

It's been so long already.

Why have you come to find me?

You shouldn't be just happening to pass by to see me right?

What happened at Mount Zu and Xiao Bai,

I believe you should know already.

What does everyone else's issues have to do with me?

I'm asking you, go back.

I don't want to see you again.

Actually, I pretty like Superior Immortal Tan Fan.

Although he's boorish, but he's simple and straightforward,

Easily makes people feel close, feel warm

Because out of the Five Immortals, he's the one who's most like a regular mortal!

His character is easy going, also faithful to love

If Superior Immortal Zi Xun is together with him,

she will be very happy.

Superior Immortal Zi Xun and Superior Immortal Tan Fan? How can it be?

Superior Immortal Zi Xun secretly loves Superior Immortal Tan Fan. But she only loves Honorable Superior

In the past, rumors about the three of them were spread all throughout Chang Liu!

Superior Immortal Zi Xun loves Teacher deeply,

that is why it's hard to accept other people.

But Immortal Tan Fan's also loves her deeply

He is willing to let everything go for her and come to this place

He splits himself into several persons to self-accompany

He must be very lonely

So that's why he is treating teacher weirdly?

Yes. Due to Immortal Zi Xun unrequited love, he blames Honorable Superior

I wonder what actually happened among these three immortals...

What if, we try to ask Honorable Superior?

No. I don't dare... don't dare...

Tang Bao, I think nothing is wrong with loving others. And nothing is wrong with rejecting love either.

So there was actually nothing wrong with the three of them

But why do they punish each other?

I don't understand. Do you?

I also don't understand.

Why in this world there are so many unrequited love?

It happened to Wei Si sister, Immortal Tan Fan, and Immortal Zi Xun

Little Bone, I am going to sleep.

Tang Bao. You...

Still blame me?

Why do I need to blame you?

You did nothing wrong. It's just you didn't do anything.

Even though you are hiding here, based on your ability of micro observation,

Why wouldn't you know that I was coming?

If you really did blame me, then you'd have hidden away from me long ago.

I still remember, you are misanthropic, you disliked ugly deeds of humans,

I never thought that you could have hidden yourself away here.

Right now, I like mortal life even more.

During this short time, I went to a lot of places.

Places that are far more exciting than your empty and cold Hall of Emotionless

You have changed. Everybody had changed

It's just you haven't realised it

You were emotionless, always keep your distance with others.

But, who would have thought you could accept a student like her.

This lass is so energetic. She must have created tons of problems for you.

Zi Hua. I really don't understand. Are you looking for happiness or..

Looking for troubles...

Little Bone indeed had brought me a lot of problems.

This time, Tai Bai sect leader being murdered, she...

is also suspected to be involved

Several sect leaders suspect that she is working together with Seven Murders sect. Finding out the truth is the only way to exonerate her.

That is why, we came here to seek for your help.

During my stay here, I am not involved with mortal world. I don't know anything at all.

How could I help you?

I want you to take a look at this.

You are from Mount Fan Jing, and also have photographic memory.

There shouldn't be any sort of secret books and techniques that you don't know about.

This is just a broken page from a book.

What can I see from it?

Then do you know if by using this forbidden technique, could someone increase their cultivation

without others knowing?

There are many types of forbidden techniques for that.

But they're all only for short term increases, there's no way to prolong it.

Also, it's very easy for someone to find out.

Zi Hua. I've never seen you care so much about anyone before.

This time, you actually came to find me just for her?

Since I took Little Bone as my disciple,

I have to take responsibility for her.

What a good word, "responsibility".

I have forgotten.

In your Chang Liu Superior Immortal's eyes, there is only responsibility, right and wrong,

there is only what should and should not be done.

You still cannot put down your feelings for Zi Xun?

To love someone, you cannot let them go just like that.

I am just seeing that she loves you too painfully.

I don't want her to see me as a nuisance.

Leaving, is the only thing I can do for her.

Why put yourself through this?

Zi Hua, you can choose not to listen, see, think, or ask.

You can put down everything that happened in the past, but I cannot!

Missing her every now and then, I would observe her and she has never been happy.

And you? You are the only one who can give her happiness.

But instead you brought her so much pain.

Forget it. Saying it too many times makes it meaningless. You are not even kind to yourself.

Why should I teach you how to treat others?

Tan Fan, your obsession is too deep.

Then what about you?

You have supressed all emotions, given up all hopes

is this not a form of obsessive behaviour?

Little Bone, we should get going.

Teacher, we're leaving just like that? We still haven't yet figured out what that forbidden technique is!

Let's go to Lotus City to investigate Yun Ya.

Are you going to where Wu Gou is?

Yes. Take care.

Wait a minute.

Give Wu Gou this bottle of medicine.

- Any messages you want me to bring to him?-None.

Teacher, so Lotus City is where Superior Immortal Wu Gou lives?

This is great! I didn't think that I'd be able to meet another Superior Immortal so soon!

Teacher, I've heard other disciples say

that Superior Immortal Dong Hua also cultivated at Chang Liu.

But I've never heard about who his teacher is!

He... belongs to no sect or teacher.

Teacher, then how come I've never seen him at Chang Liu before?

I asked Senior Brother Shi Yi, but he didn't seem very willing to say it.

During these years, I also wanted to know where he has gone.

Teacher, has Superior Immortal Tan Fan asked you to bring medicine because Superior Immortal Wu Gou is sick?

I saw him just earlier, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him.

This is just polygonum multiflorum and chinese angelica, nothing special

Looks like this Superior Immortal Wu Gou should be just fine.

These few days have been just like a dream! After seeing Superior Immortal Tan Fan, I get to see Superior Immortal Wu Gou!

Teacher, what kind of person is Superior Immortal Wu Gou?

You'll know when you get there.

- Tang Bao, if you don't hurry up, we're leaving!-Coming, coming!

Holy Ruler please calm down!

Holy Ruler calm down!

Holy Ruler!

Zhu Ran! I'm going to kill you!

Holy Ruler!

Holy Ruler! Holy Ruler, it's me!

Zhu Ran! I'm going to kill you!

- Holy Ruler! Holy Ruler!-Let go of me! Let go of me!

Holy Ruler!

Holy Ruler!

Holy Ruler!

We have arrived at Lotus City.

This is Lotus City? It's so pretty!

Lotus City is the richest city in the world. Wu Gou is this city's master.

Bones, let's hurry and go play!

Please wait a minute. The Superior Immortal is cultivating in retreat, I will go tell him.

I'm really curious about what this Superior Immortal Wu Gou looks like!

He has so much money! He must be covered in jewelry,

his wrists covered in gold bracelets, his fingers covered in gold rings!

Wu Gou is a Superior Immortal! Besides being the master of the city, he isn't a regular old minister.

Tang Bao, look!

It's so cute!

There's another one!

Greetings, Superior Immortal Wu Gou.

You are Hua Qian Gu?

Yes.

She is my disciple.

She's exactly the opposite of what I imagined.

She's quite ordinary.

She isn't worthy of being your disciple.

I believe that Mo Yan would be very displeased?

It's enough if I'm satisfied with my own disciple.

Why have you returned again? I can't imagine it's because you wanted to bring your disciple to see me.

No. I have come to find someone.

I want to know if there is a maid called Yun Ya in your palace.

Indeed there is. But her habits never changed,

her stealing in the palace were found out, and so she was kicked out.

When did that happen?

One year ago.

Then may I ask if you know that before there was a disciple of Xiao Bai named Mei Er,

who worked very closely with Yun Ya?

I don't know.

Bones, it looks like the clue has been cut off again!

Superior Immortal, because this has to do with all the various murders going on in the sects,

So... we want to get some clues from within your palace.

Can we?

Your teacher has already mentioned this to me before.

If there is anything else you want to know, then ask my disciples.

Thank you Superior Immortal!

Please sit.

That's right. I just saw Tan Fan.

He told me to give this to you.

He's quite caring.

Why did he want to give you medicine?

How should I know? I'm not sick.

How has he been these few years?

Is he throwing a childish fit at you again?

He's alright.

He understand everything but love.

To me, he is still keeping some things unsaid.

I'm begging you, let me go!

I don't dare to do it again, I know I was wrong!

- Please let go of me!-They even investigated up to you!

And even came here!

Right now the safest way, is to kill you!

And then everything will be finished off.

But, how can I allow you to die so easily?

I beg of you, please let me go.

Can you give me a chance. I understand I was wrong.

Don't kill me, don't kill me.

Zi Hua, come and have a drink.

Oh, the dusk of today.

The boat seizes at midstream.

Oh, when is the present?

I can share the same boat with Prince.

Oh, so guilty with humiliation,

but feel no sense of shame.

Zi Hua,

Tan Fan,

Wu Gou, where are you?

Little Bone.

Hua Qian Gu.

Please.

Enjoy while we can. For how long is a man's life? A morning's dew? Many a day is gone.

Zi Xun, this is the happiest day of my life.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming to see me.

You have really changed a lot.

In the past, you'd never drink this low quality type of wine.

The person I drink wine with isn't here anymore.

Doesn't matter what alcohol I drink, they all taste the same.

Choosing to live your days in such bitter ways,

are you trying to purposely torture yourself?

No, I'm really living well these days.

Cutting fire woods and plowing everyday, practicing medicine occasionally in public,

I have already forgotten what worrisome thoughts are like.

Probably next time you visit,

I may really have married a country maiden,

and have many chubby children.

If you can really let everything go,

I am happy for you.

Zi Xun, you can do it too.

So you're also Zi Hua's lobbyist.

No, I'm not anyone's lobbyist,

I just hope that you can be happy.

Happy...

Unless time can move backwards,

and go back to the days when the five of us were together without any worries.

Or else I'll never be happy again.

Zi Xun,

we cannot go back.

Did you know?

I've been thinking about Dong Hua recently.

I'm thinking,

if he is still... if he were still here,

then Zi Hua wouldn't have become the sect leader, and you wouldn't be in so much pain. Wu Gou-

Even though Zi Hua and I are not fated in this life to be together,

I still cannot watch him step onto a road of disaster.

Road of disaster?

I do not understand what you mean.

You don't need to understand.

You just need to know.

Tan Fan, in this world,

The person I am most thankful to is you.

The one I owe most to is also you.

No matter what,

you must take good care of yourself.

Zi Xun.

Little Bone, fruits grown in the desert have a lot of sugar. It will be bad for you to have too many.

This is the grape wine that I made myself. Please have a try.

Upon seeing you again after such a long time, your teachery manner is very well displayed.

It's not like that, Superior Immortal. You don't know this, but my wine intake level is too shallow!

Last time I had a couple more cups, I became very drunk and was drunk for three days and nights straight!

It was all thanks to Teacher for taking care of me!

That's right! Superior Immortal,

why is it that your disciples

and those girls, all have paint on their faces?

It doesn't look like any sect's distinct markings.

It looks like a officer's crest!

They were all originally carrying guilt of a crime, and were supposed to die.

Afterwards I thought of them as pitiful, so I brought them back here.

Actually, a lot of times,

saving a person who has done wrong

is more important than killing them.

Then Yun Ya-?

She was a thief to start with.

She came to my palace just to steal the Thousand Eye Colored Glass Clusters.

Also, she had gotten injured from setting off a trap.

After she got hurt, I kept her here.

She swore that she'd change.

Only then did I keep her here to be a maid.

But she still keeps on planning to steal the Colored Glass Clusters

So that's the way it was.

Just wondering, what is the Thousand Eye Colored Glass Clusters?

It's said that if you wear it you are protected against any illness.

In reality, it's just a more expensive and prettier jewel.

Superior Immortal Wu Gou, are you especially rich?

As rich as a king.

But, doesn't cultivating mean you have to cleanse your heart and treat money as something frivolous?

No matter how much money someone has, they can only drink water for one stomach and sleep in one bed.

After they die, they can only go down into hell.

Many battles in this world start because of money.

The more money we have, the more people we can help.

It's like your Teacher.

The more power he has, the better he can protect Chang Liu and the peace of all the sects.

I understand!

It's like what Teacher said, the more power someone has, the bigger the responsibility they should take up!

City Master!

City Master, I have something urgent to tell you.

What is it? Say it.

Master, when I was delivery food last night, she managed to escape from the metal chains.

Please punish me.

Forget it.

If I hadn't taken down the enchantment to let Bai Zi Hua and the others come in,

and was afraid that they'd be suspicious and didn't put it back up, she wouldn't have been able to run off.

Then now-?

- Send someone to secretly go after her. I'll be there later.-Yes.

It's late. You have traveled hard. Get some rest.

Wu Gou, play some chess with me.

Yun Ya, Yun Ya!

You have to save me! You must save me!

I'm so scared!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry Yun Ya!

Bones, you're sneaking in a snack?

- If Teacher hears of this I can't eat any!-Then give me half.

Then I'm going to yell! At the worst, we'll fight for it!

-Tang Bao, you're threatening me?-Hon-!

Tang Bao Bao, isn't it enough to give you half?

Thank you Bones!

The deeply infatuated Superior Immortal Zi Xun; the gentle and cultivated Superior Immortal Dong Hua;

The Superior Immortal Tan Fan who's personality is strange.

Also the high and mighty Superior Immortal Wu Gou.

And our Teacher who cares about the entire world!

These Five Superior Immortals are all so different in personality!

Tan Fan is a small recluse. Wu Gou is a medium recluse.

Honorable Superior is a huge recluse.

Why is that?

Because great recluse hide in mountains; greater recluse hide in cities; the greatest recluse hide above the temples!

Then what degree of recluse is Superior Immortal Zi Xun?

Zi Xun is a sentimental recluse.

Then what about Superior Immortal Dong Hua?

Superior Immortal Dong Hua, shadowless and traceless recluse!

None of you know where he is.

I really want to see this Superior Immortal Dong Hua.

Zi Hua, the tea leaves are done steeping.

You don't seem like you're entirely here. Is there something important you need to take care of?

No.

I still remember before, you treat things obsessively and compulsively, I didn’t expect that you will have moments like this.

Speaking of us... Dong Hua and Tan Fan hate evil.

As for you, you look cold,

but your heart is the most charitable.

Dong Hua kills demons to save people, and Tan Fan uses medicine to save people.

And you... are always reforming people.

I still remember that you once told me that no matter how many things a person has done wrong,

as long as they have the heart to change,

it's not too late to be forgiven.

I have found out recently that not all the consequences can be made up for.

Zi Hua. After seeing your disciple, I am very worried for you.

In this world, it's not others that you need to be afraid of. The scarier thing is when you trick yourself.

I don't understand what you're saying.

I can only say that you're thinking too much about everything.

I have my plans for everything.

Tang Bao!

Tang Bao Bao! Time to get up!

Tang Bao! Get up, Tang Bao!

You lazy bug, get up!

Could it be these clay people were also made by Yun Ya?

Could it be that Yun Ya, towards Superior Immortal Wu Gou..?

City Master, I have something to report.

Okay. You go on first.

Yes.

Zi Hua, we have already played chess all night. How about you go back and rest first?

There is something important I have to take care of.

You have to continue killing?

You have found out?

Tan Fan used Knotweed and Angelica to make medicine for you.

He worked so hard to ask you to come back. I think that forbidden technique

must have some connection to you.

Yan Ping Sha, Fei Yan, Xiang Yu, they are all the highest masters of martial arts.

There aren't many who can kill them.

But I never would have thought that it really is you.

Yes. I am the one who killed them.

-Why?-Is that important?

They all deserved to die.

Come back to Chang Liu with me to face your punishment.

Zi Hua, why are you still so naive?

I won't go back with you.

After I kill the last person, everything will be finished.

I learned this technique during cultivation. Even though it cannot lock you up forever,

it is enough time for me to go kill her.

Bai Zi Hua, we have never fought once in all these years of knowing each other.

I also want to see, that for the Bai Zi Hua who is strongest among us five,

how many hours you will have to wait until you break my spell!

After I asked the other disciples,

one year ago, this Yun Ya really did

get kicked out of Lotus City by Superior Immortal Wu Gou. And Mei Er only disappeared a few months ago!

Just what connects them in between?

Did Yun Ya like Superior Immortal Wu Gou?

Then does Superior Immortal Wu Gou know?

- Hello, I want to ask you something.-You are Sect Leader Hua?

You recognize me?

Yes! I saw you last night.

We heard that Sect Leader Hua and the Superior Immortal of Chang Liu had both come here.

So we all ran over to see!

I wanted to ask, how was the relationship between Yun Ya and City Master Wu Gou?

That... I don't know.

You don't Yun Ya?

I don't.

That... I have something else to do, I'll leave now.

It seems that I have to win this chess game before I can break this battle formation spell.

What is that Superior Immortal Wu Gou looking for?

Who is the one the disciples of Wu Gou Palace are trying to capture?

This way is headed for the Xiao Bai sect.

Could it be..?

Where is Superior Immortal Wu Gou? He clearly came in here!

Come, get up.

I beg of you! Please let me go! I know I was wrong! Please let me go!

Are you okay?

Who are you?

I am Chang Liu's disciple Hua Qian Gu.

Are you Mei Er?

Big Sister Wei Xi has been looking everywhere for you.

Senior Sister? She-?

Don't talk. Hurry and leave with me, or else it'll be too late! Let's go!

It's too late!

Superior Immortal Wu Gou!
