The Journey of Chongzi Adapted from "The Journey of Chongzi" by Shu Ke

Episode 5

Greetings, Father.

Well...

Look.

You didn't even change before you came to see the guests.

Do you know what decency is?

It isn't your birthday until tomorrow.

I thought it was early,

so I didn't put on the new robe.

Is there anything wrong?

You're a grown-up, but you're still mucking around!

You can teach me to sit in meditation.

You!

Don't you think I drew well?

Chong, don't be rude.

Stand back.

My disciple is naughty.

She really lacks manners.

Please forgive her.

Mr. Luo, never mind.

My son mucked around first.

He deserves a lesson.

Your disciple is clever and quick-witted.

She seems to be the only one

that can restrain my lawless son.

Yes. In that case,

Chong Zi, why don't you marry me

and restrain me for my father?

What do you think?

Don't talk nonsense!

Don't be rude.

Mr. Luo,

if we can connect our sects

through this marriage,

I'll be more than pleased.

What is

your opinion?

My disciple is still young.

It's too early to consider her marriage.

My age is irrelevant.

Even if I'm old, I don't want to marry you.

If you don't want to, nobody can force you.

Mr. Luo, I don't think you're a good master.

You don't even teach her skills.

Why don't you give her to me?

We will teach her.

Shut up!

How dare you talk nonsense in front of Mr. Luo?

Apologize!

I didn't talk nonsense.

Mr. Luo does have boundless power.

But he hasn't taught Chong Zi anything.

You...

- Of the masters present, - You...

which one wouldn't teach their disciples?

If he wouldn't teach her,

he shouldn't be called a master.

You!

The most valuable virtue

of a master is to suit the teaching

to the ability of his disciples.

Mr. Luo has his own way to teach his disciple.

How can you figure it out in such a short time?

What a beautiful lady!

Aunt.

Have you realized your mistake?

Aunt, you're finally back.

I thought I couldn't see you

at my father's birthday banquet.

You didn't answer me.

Did you hear what I just said?

Yes, I did. I heard it all.

Aunt, it's good to have you back.

Get back to your seat.

Don't talk nonsense again.

Yao.

So you do know the way home.

I've stayed in the Mortal World for years

without coming back to see you.

Please forgive me.

It's good to have you back.

Come.

Mr. Luo, it's been a long time.

Yes, indeed.

Chong, this is Miss Zhuo Yunji.

Hello, Miss Zhuo.

Miss Zhuo, this is my disciple, Chong Zi.

Chong, nice to meet you.

This is the Condensation Pill I prepared for Mr. Luo.

Would you like it?

Thanks, Miss Zhuo.

Mr. Luo, since everyone is here,

let's get down to business.

What do you think of our plan?

Feel free to voice your opinion.

I think it's the best plan to use Gong Keran

to draw Wan Jie out.

The two of them acted in collusion

and wouldn't make a clean break.

It's Gong Keran's own fault

that she has ended up like this.

How can you say that my niece

acted in collusion with Wan Jie?

She is a poor woman, after all.

Yes.

Gong Keran is a poor woman,

but she has a marriage contract

with Wan Jie, doesn't she?

I didn't mean she shouldn't help.

I feel sorry for Keran,

but if we use her relationship with Wan Jie

to catch him, she can atone for her crime.

Mr. Luo, what's your opinion?

We don't need Miss Gong to take risks.

There are other ways to draw Wan Jie out.

Did you ask Miss Gong's opinion

before you made the plan?

When I was in the Mortal World,

I heard that hunters

would sew up the eyes of female birds.

When the female birds heard

their fellow birds flying by,

they would cry for help.

Then male birds would fall into the trap

and be caught in a net.

What the immortal sects do

is no different from that

illiterate countrymen do.

Chong Zi is right.

We shouldn't treat Miss Gong in this way.

You're only a little disciple.

What right do you have to make wild comments?

The Immortal World

shoulders the responsibility of guarding the world.

How can you compare us with mortals?

That is what I taught my disciple.

If we don't do things better than mortals,

how can we be immortals?

Master, I want to go back.

I don't want to stay here.

OK.

Let's go back, then.

Are they really going to leave?

Master, did I say something wrong

and cause you trouble again?

They are far less insightful than my disciple.

I don't want to talk to them.

I'm scared.

I thought you would scold me.

How could I?

Mr. Luo.

Miss Zhuo.

Please call me Yunji as you used to.

You are really wronged.

They went too far saying those words

in the hall.

I was reckless.

I must look ignorant.

You're forthright and sincere. I like it.

Yinfan, you've chosen a good disciple.

By the way, do you remember the swordsmanship

you taught me when we parted?

I want to ask for your advice

on some problems privately.

Chong, if you're tired, go to rest first.

I'll talk with Miss Zhuo for a few minutes before I go back.

So beautiful!

Look at Miss Zhuo.

She is not only beautiful but also talks nicely

and excels in magical skills.

Everyone respects her.

What about me?

I can't hold my alcohol.

I like to eat and sleep.

Apart from that,

I can only draw turtles.

You practiced very hard in those days.

Now it has been years.

You seem to not have made progress.

With an obsession,

how could I make progress?

If it's an obsession,

you should put it aside as soon as possible.

When you get rid of it,

you'll find a different world.

I heard that you worked hard at making medicine in recent years,

and had made some achievements.

Using the skill to help people is boundless kindness.

Your success equals failure.

You didn't give up cultivation in vain.

You're right.

I feel ashamed.

I have business to do.

See you, then.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

I bumped into you carelessly.

Are you all right?

Get up.

Don't blame yourself for such a trifle.

But you look unfamiliar.

I saved her a few days ago.

Her name is Ting Xue.

She knows simple medical skills.

She is smart and thoughtful.

Now that fate makes you meet,

why don't you take her as your disciple

and teach her medicine?

I find the kid adorable.

She has good aptitude.

She'll make achievements if she learns from you.

Miss Zhuo, I have humble origins.

Nobody wants to accept me.

If you don't mind,

I'll always follow your instructions.

Get up.

Young lady, wait and see.

I must pay you back next time.

Father!

You didn't even know the little girl had schemed against you.

Don't you think it's disgraceful?

Who knows she is so bold

and dares to provoke me?

Finally, someone can restrain you.

I'm so relieved.

Father, are you enjoying my discomfiture?

You finally met your match.

Min Yunzhong wants to

marry his grandniece off to you.

But in my opinion, she's not even close

to that smart little girl.

By the way, something big will happen tomorrow.

You stay with

your young lady in her room.

Don't go anywhere.

What's the big thing?

I'm going, too.

Stop messing about!

We even need Luo Yinfan's help to cope with the thing.

How can you handle it?

Don't make trouble,

lest I have to take care of you.

Master.

Master.

I gave Ting Xue to Miss Zhuo.

I asked her to call Miss Zhuo master

and learn medicine from her.

Great.

Xue has her own master, too.

She won't be bullied again.

So...

Master.

What else do you want to say?

I want to know, if you...

you'll marry Miss Zhuo.

Don't talk nonsense.

I didn't.

Lord Zhuo tried to bring you and Miss Zhuo together.

I can tell that Miss Zhuo likes you.

Absolute nonsense.

Many years ago, I thought she was talented,

and gave her a little advice.

I regard her as a friend.

When you get married, will you marry me off?

What are you thinking about?

Do you want to get married at such a young age?

So you won't marry her?

I won't.

Don't forget the purpose of our trip.

Wan Jie will come tomorrow night.

This place is quiet.

He won't pay attention to it.

Though Zhuo Hao is young,

he has made achievements.

Mr. Zhuo told me that he would

let Zhuo Hao take care of you.

No.

Fine.

If you don't want him to take care of you,

you must stay in your room and not go anywhere.

How

are you doing?

Why are you here?

You want to die?

I won't die.

Neither can you.

Who do you think you are?

We have nothing to do with each other.

My life or death is none of your business.

Tomorrow, when everyone

is at the banquet and unprepared,

I'll break Luo Yinfan's shield.

Then, we can leave this place together.

Are you insane?

They lock me up here

just to lure you into the trap.

We should break up.

Why do we have to torment each other?

Keran, are you OK?

I never thought the demon scent

on the sword was so powerful.

What about the demon sword?

No matter how powerful Ni Lun was,

he no longer exists.

We don't have to be afraid of him.

I've suppressed the demon breath

on the sword.

You can rest assured.

Lord, Chu,

the residual demon breath here is too strong.

Many people were hurt just now.

Now that we've got the demon sword,

we should leave quickly.

OK.

Why don't we go to Chenzhou first?

There we'll have a place to stay.

Let me save her.

Wan Jie, no!

Sir, I've brought hot water

for you to soak your feet.

It's what mortals do.

Immortals don't need this.

If you don't want it, let me warm your quilt.

Wait.

Even if I were a mortal, I wouldn't need you

to do such useless things for me.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I may never see you again.

I... I couldn't ask you in front of Miss Zhuo.

But thinking it over and over,

I still want to know

if you can take me as your disciple.

I can do whatever Chong Zi does.

I'll do even better than her.

Please give me a chance.

I only recruit one disciple.

I'll forget this ever happened.

Leave.

But I have to tell you, you are not even close

to Chong.

Then why did you save me?

You gave me hope but refused to take me as your disciple.

Now you're driving me away.

Why?

Let me say it again.

I only recruit one disciple.

Get back and think it over.

Why do you treat me in this way?

Why do you drive me away?

Why could Chong Zi win your favor?

I'm no inferior to her.

It's really boring when Master is out.

I wonder what he is doing now.

Is he with Miss Zhuo?

They are really a good match.

And I'm a big problem.

Young lady.

Wanna run?

Let me go.

Why do you always bully me?

Aren't you ashamed?

I underestimated you.

You dared to make a fool of me

in front of so many people.

Of course you underestimated me.

It was no big deal.

If you don't let me go,

I'll draw another one on you

and let everyone know.

I'm going to tell my master.

Tell your master?

My father already told him that

he would let me accompany you.

If you don't behave or stay here,

I'll have to be unpleasant.

I don't need you to take care of me!

I haven't got even with you for what happened yesterday.

Look how I will fix you today!

Get even for what?

It's tit-for-tat at most.

We're even.

If you dare to bully me again,

I'll tell your father.

Call me honey, then I'll spare you.

Frivolous man. No way!

You swore at me?

Let me hear your swear again.

I don't think you can do it now.

All right, I was just kidding.

Why are you crying?

Girls are such a pain in the ass.

Well, if you behave,

I'll lift the spell on you, OK?

Lord Zhuo, your son is bullying me again!

Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the sea.

Keran.

We're surrounded.

You can't escape with me.

Just go.

I'll never

let go of your hand.

Why do you keep pestering me?

Because I've been waiting for you.

Tell me the answer.

As you can see,

the demon sword is in my hand now.

I don't care what you think.

If you want to be dumb, suit yourself.

I've created a shield around the house.

You can't go anywhere.

Stay put.

I'm going back to take a nap.

I'll come to fix you when I wake up.

Zhuo Hao came here so early.

Wan Jie must have gone to

the Dragon Abyss to save Miss Gong.

I wonder how Master is doing now.

Let me go.

You must leave with me today.

What right do you have to say that?

If it weren't for you,

would I get homeless and tortured?

Everyone has gone to the Dragon Abyss.

Who would come here?

You've got my father

and my fellow brothers killed.

Don't torture me again.

If you really want to save me,

go to die.

After you die,

nobody will bother me again.

Then I can live.

If you really think so,

I will do that.

Where are you going?

How hard can it be?

I'm going out now.

It's just what Luo Yinfan wants.

Stop.

Your life belongs to me.

You must die in my hands.

Chong!

Chong!

You're

Wang Yue, the Demon King?

Miss Gong,

it's been a long time.

I can't stay in the Demon World.

Let me go.

Is it worth putting yourself

in such a tight corner?

You'll never understand.

Don't I understand?

Those immortals and demons like you

are no different from amorous youths.

You should leave.

Go.

Next time,

I may not save you.

Chong.

Chong.

Chong.

Master.

Do you feel better?

That man didn't hurt you, did he?

Silly girl.

You've followed me long enough.

When did you see me get hurt?

Chong.

Young lady!

Young lady, you...

How is Chong Zi?

Nothing serious.

Only her primordial spirit has been damaged.

It's all your fault.

If you didn't sneak away or trap Chong Zi here,

how could she suffer such a severe injury?

They are just kids.

Hao already feels guilty.

Don't blame him.

Come.

I think Wan Jie didn't intend to damage her primordial spirit,

only his demon breath was too strong.

I have a prescription for her.

There's an adjuvant, Red Moon Glossy Ganoderma,

which can only be found in Nanhua Mountain.

You'd better take her back for treatment.

Chong, does it still hurt?

Master.

Don't worry.

I've found you a miracle medicine.

I'll bring it to you after it's decocted.

I don't want it.

Medicine is bitter.

Be good.

Your breath is very weak now.

Red Moon Glossy Ganoderma can gather energy and breath.

It's good for you.

Really?

Have I ever lied to you?

If you feel bad,

stop talking.

Have a good sleep.

When you wake up,

everything will be fine.

I believe you, Master.

You are the best medicine for me.

Her breath is still faint.

I can't let it go on like this.

Chonghua Palace?

I'm back?

So, Master...

You're...

Don't yell. I only took a nap.

I didn't mean to fall asleep.

You've just recovered from a serious illness.

You need to nourish your spirit.

If you yell, your liver fire will grow.

You look much better now.

Right? The medicine I decocted is effective.

Are you kidding me?

You almost smothered me.

You...

Who are you?

Me?

I'm here to take care of you for Mr. Luo.

Yeah, I haven't told you my name.

I'm the 361st generation

of the disciples of Nanhua.

My master is Sage Tianji.

I'm the Idle Spell Immortal specializing in refining medicine,

Yan Zhenzhu.

Spell Immortal specializing in refining medicine?

Is there such kind of immortal in Nanhua?

Nanhua is very big.

There are Sword Immortals like your master and Councilor Sage,

who keep up our appearances

as well as Idle Immortals like me,

who spend the days at ease.

It doesn't matter, though.

Mr. Luo ordered me

to make you take the medicine.

Come, open your mouth.

No. The smell is terrible.

Master said he wouldn't make me take the medicine.

Really?

How does that work?

Do you want Mr. Luo to give you artificial breath every day?

He's been doing that for days.

You should give him a break.

Artificial breath?

Master?

Of course.

When you were in a coma these days,

your master not only took care of you

but also asked Councilor Sage for medicine.

If not, where do you think

the rare Red Moon Glossy Ganoderma comes from?

So...

Why are you blushing?

I wasn't dreaming.

You...

Well, isn't it sweet?

Come on.

No, you must take it.

You're here as expected.

Where is Wan Jie?

Shouldn't I ask you this question?

How do I know where he is?

He saved you in the Qinghua Sect

and ran here with you.

Why don't you know where he is?

Did you see with your own eyes

that he ran here with me?

I...

The sages of Qinghua

made every preparation to catch Wan Jie.

If you didn't collaborate with him,

voluntarily help him,

or have something to do with him,

I really couldn't think of a good reason

to explain how you escaped from the East Sea.

Miss Gong, I'm not Lord Ming.

I won't be partial to you.

We've gone our separate ways already.

How could I collaborate with him?

You did...

Say one more word,

and I'll cut your tongue out.

It doesn't matter if you deny it.

Since you are here, he mustn't be far away.

Miss Gong, please come with us.

What if I say no?

If so,

we'll have to use force.

As long as you are in our hands,

he'll eventually show up.

Formation!

Yes!

Chong Zi, you look much better recently.

Mr. Luo does take great care of you.

Come on. Take out your magic weapon

and show me a couple of moves.

Magic weapon?

Don't you have one?

Seriously?

As an Idle Immortal, I even have one.

I guess Mr. Luo must have his own plan.

Don't think too much.

He is so fond of you.

Even though he didn't give you a magic weapon,

he must have taught you a few moves.

No?

That's odd.

He neither gave you a weapon nor taught you any skills.

Does he intend to raise you as trash?

Isn't she trash?

I heard that you let Wan Jie run away

and were injured by him.

Shame on you!

Is Wan Jie someone we can take on alone?

Don't you think it's a huge imposition?

To you, it is.

If it were me,

I wouldn't let him slip off so easily.

Though you have the most powerful master,

you can only take a beating facing a demon.

Mr. Luo must have been blind

to choose you as his disciple.

It's scary when you stare at me.

Which country woman did you learn that from?

Mr. Luo doesn't teach that.

How dare you?

Why dare I not?

I'm not the one whose magic weapon was snatched.

I never thought that your magic weapon

was used to cut your own neck.

The sword looks quite sharp.

Shall I try it?

Try what?

The sword.

I'm trash who doesn't have a magic weapon.

And I don't know martial arts.

It will be normal if my hand shakes a little.

You...

Just now...

Just now, I was wrong.

I apologize.

Put down the sword first.

Chong Zi, let her go.

Only to me?

Anyone else?

I'm sorry.

You scum...

If you slander my master again,

I won't spare you.

You...

She was right.

I'm trash.

Nonsense.

Trash can't snatch a sword

with bare hands.

Master.

Did you see that?

I didn't mean to make her suffer, I...

I just couldn't restrain my anger.

Chong, do you really want a magic weapon?

No, no.

I haven't reached that level.

I don't have the right.

Master, if I say I want one, will you blame me?

Silly girl.

The other day when I met Wan Jie,

if I had been a little useful,

you wouldn't have to look for medicine around for me.

I don't want to hide behind you all the time.

You do need something for self-defense.

Let me take you to pick your weapon.

Take a look.

Pick the one you like.

Master, shall I pick a sword or something else?

Nanhua is the sword sect.

We usually use swords to fight enemies.

Because a sword has a sharp edge and is convenient to attack.

But you don't have to use a sword.

Anything handy can be a magic weapon.

Even a piece of wood or a roll of bamboo slips

will grow

a connection with its master over time.

But a good magic weapon has a natural nimbus.

It can yield twice the result with half the effort in defending or attacking.

But once you choose a magic weapon,

you shouldn't abandon it at will.

Otherwise, you can hardly

find another handy weapon again.

Master, would you pick one for me?

When I passed by Kunlun Mountain 200 years ago,

I unexpectedly got a piece of dark iron that fell from the sky.

I intended to cast it into a sword with the purest spirit stones

on Buzhou Mountain, but the iron was very odd.

It seemed to come from the God World and was extremely hard to melt.

In the end, I only made it into a staff.

Look, do you like it?

I like it.

Master, give it a name.

The stars are dimmer than the moon,

but they're never ashamed of it.

Still, they shine all over the world and spread benefit to the people.

I hope that you won't think lightly of yourself.

You should care about the people

just like the stars shining in the sky.

So, let's call it

Starlight.

With natural righteousness,

the original iron wouldn't regard an evil person as its master.

Starlight is even more so.

Since it chooses you,

it must know that your heart is pure and it's willing to serve you.

I'll take good care of you.

You should be good, too.

Starlight has no edge

and isn't as good as a sword in attacking.

But it's more than enough for defense.

I want you to be less aggressive and more restrained.

Don't be competitive or hurt others.

Use it to protect yourself well.

To protect myself well,

shall I learn some skills?

Suppose

you learn some self-defense skills first?

I get it.
