=The Journey of Chongzi= (Adapted from "The Journey of Chongzi" by Shu Ke)

=Episode 7=

(Changyuan Inn)

Mr. Luo, your clothes are dusty.

Chong Zi is responsible

for Sage Chonghua's clothes,

so he isn't used to letting others do this.

Why do you come here?

Councilor Sage asked me to tell you

to pick Chong Zi up from Yingzhou.

Why did Chong Zi leave Nanhua Mountain?

It's also my fault.

I thought she had made progress in practicing magical skills,

so it wasn't bad for her to leave the mountain to gain experiences.

I can't find Wan Jie after spending a long time searching for him.

If he comes back to Kunlun Sect and hurts Chong Zi,

I'll punish you.

Are you mad at me?

No.

How could I be mad at you?

I hope you won't be mad at me instead.

Otherwise...

I was willing to do that,

so don't feel guilty.

Otherwise, I won't help you next time.

Don't worry, Qin Ke.

I promise I won't do that again.

I should act with dignity

no matter if I'm an immortal or not.

Since I wanted to leave the mountain,

I should have asked Master for agreement

instead of

dragging you down

and irritating Master.

However,

Master will come here no matter what,

so I think it's better for me to hang out

than waiting here doing nothing.

I can buy gifts for Master

and Councilor Sage

to cool them down.

I know you can't sit still.

Qin Ke, don't worry.

Master will come here,

so I won't run about.

There is Shuixin Pavilion in the south,

and its landform is excellent.

Immortals nearby will go there to cultivate themselves.

It's also good for you to go there to practice.

Qin Ke, let's go there.

I have to receive Sage Chonghua.

This incense is specially made by Kunlun Sect.

If you add your spiritual power into it,

immortals for 500 meters around

can feel that.

Take this with you for safety.

Then I'm leaving, Qin Ke.

Do you still refuse to go with me

after they treated you like that?

Here is full of spiritual power.

It's indeed a good place.

(Where can we go?)

(In the six worlds,)

(there must be a place we can go.)

(Their voices...)

(If you really want to save me,)

(go to die.)

(How hard can it be?)

(It's them.)

Does the Demon King

know your thoughts?

Now you're chased after by immortal sects,

and you can hide in the Demon Palace.

But if Wang Yue doesn't accept you,

I'm afraid

you will end up with death.

Are you worrying about me?

I am asking you

to stop your wishful thinking.

We can never go back to the past.

My 3,000 peers died because of you.

But we're alive.

(So what?)

I'm not what I used to be,

and you're not my senior anymore.

If I had died with them,

it might be better than now.

It would be better than

seeing you who are like a ghost.

I'm like a ghost...

Supervisor Sage and Senior Mu.

Where is she?

She went to Shuixin Pavilion. I'll call her back.

No need. I'll go myself.

I know

you can't bear leaving me alone.

But the one I love

is Chu Bufu who died for righteousness,

not you.

Only when you die

will you return to be Chu Bufu.

If not,

you will be Wan Jie forever.

(Chu Bufu? Who is he?)

Can I also be an immortal?

Before becoming an immortal,

one must first learn to cultivate immortal bones.

Mr. Immortal?

You've been eavesdropping for a long time.

Mr. Immortal,

it's me. I'm Chongzi.

It's you.

Can't you recognize me, Mr. Immortal?

You actually become Luo Yinfan's disciple.

No, you're not him.

He was a hero who saved the world.

You're not him. You're the Demon King who killed him.

Then tell me

what's the difference between me and him?

Master.

What have you done to Chong Zi?

I didn't expect you,

Luo Yinfan, the sage from Nanhua Sect,

to forget himself for his disciple.

It's very rare.

But you know Chong Zi

because of me,

so you should thank me.

You don't deserve to call her name.

Luo Yinfan,

believe it or not,

no matter how hard you protect her,

she was born with evil breath,

and she will go somewhere she should go one day.

Master.

Kneel down.

Don't make me repeat that.

- Master... - Kneel down!

You ignored my order and made the decision yourself.

You don't deserve to be my disciple.

It's my fault to leave Nanhua Mountain without your permission,

but it's because I worried about you.

- I don't want you to... - Shut up.

Don't use me as an excuse.

Mr. Luo, I didn't keep a close eye on Chong Zi.

As her senior, I didn't perform my duty well.

I made the main mistake, and Chong Zi made the minor one.

I am teaching my disciple a lesson,

and I don't want others outside of Zizhu Peak to interfere in this.

You acted willfully and dragged others down,

so you should be punished more.

The ground is damp,

and Chong Zi hasn't gained the immortal bones.

I'm afraid it'll cause her to be ill if she kneels for a long time.

How about you take her back first

and take time to deal with this matter, Mr. Luo?

I worried about you,

so I came here.

I don't think I'm wrong.

Fine.

Then kneel here

until you think it through.

No one is allowed to accompany her.

Well...

Mr. Luo.

Mr. Luo.

I should take the responsibility.

I permitted Chong Zi to leave the mountain personally,

so it's not all her fault.

Qin Ke,

go back to Liuhe Hall

and ask your master for the punishment.

Yes, Mr. Luo.

I've kept Chong Zi on Zizhu Peak

for many years

because I hope

she won't be affected by evil power.

Even if I let her leave the mountain, I was very worried.

However,

look what you have caused her to do.

You know the reason why I recruited Chong Zi

as my disciple.

Yes.

Chong Zi

can't be in danger.

But Chong Zi did miss you

on Zizhu Peak.

♪It rains the whole night, and a tear falls♪

♪I miss you so much♪

♪I wander in the world day by day♪

♪But I keep a light that shone on you♪

♪So I can remember your figure forever♪

♪I love you since I was young♪

♪I won't regret loving you even if I die♪

♪I only hope we can spend time together♪

Sorry, I caused you to be punished.

Don't say that, Senior Mu.

In fact, even if I had known I would be punished,

I wouldn't have regretted leaving the mountain.

I am useless.

My knees are sore

after kneeling for only one night.

Is Master still mad at me?

Don't hold the grudge against your master.

Although he said to punish you,

he cherishes you.

It's my fault to disobey Master's order,

but I think

it isn't wrong of me to worry about him.

He can punish me,

but he shouldn't ignore me.

How about this?

I'll take you back first,

and you apologize to your master obediently.

He doesn't want you to become ill by kneeling.

Since Master punished me to kneel,

I must keep kneeling

until he cools down.

What if your legs get hurt,

and you're unable to walk anymore?

Then I'll pester him

and let him have me on his back.

I'll go

wherever he goes.

They don't hurt that much.

Thank you, Senior Mu.

Actually, it's also good if you can think it in this way.

You must remember

that your master always cherishes you.

That's why I'm willing to be punished.

I want Master to know

that I wanted to see him sincerely.

(Why hasn't she apologized to me yet?)

(Am I too strict?)

(But I'm more scared)

(than angry.)

(I'm afraid that you'll be the same as Wan Jie,)

(and that you'll leave me.)

Master.

Let's go back.

Master,

I succeed in kneeling until you cool down.

What do you want to say?

I'm wrong,

but I'm not regretful at all.

I missed you so much

that I wanted to see you

even if I knew you would be angry.

Besides,

I've never hated you

during the days kneeling here.

I missed your kindness to me

and our days spent on Zizhu Peak.

And what matters the most

is that I knew you wouldn't

leave me alone

and would go back to see me.

By the way, look.

The immortal fruit in Shuixin Pavilion

is different from Nanhua Mountain's.

I want to make it into a lantern

and put it on your desk.

Your sincerity

is more important than any other things.

I just hope you won't be angry.

But you must take me together

when you leave the mountain in the future.

I'll go wherever you go.

Don't think you can leave me alone before saving the world.

You're so stupid.

You're so stupid.

It's safe here.

Leave.

I won't tell your whereabouts to others.

Keran,

what do you mean?

No one is here,

and the immortals rarely come here.

It suits me the best

as my exile place.

Since you've left the immortal sect,

we shouldn't end up like this.

We're different.

Let me keep my last dignity, okay?

As long as you are a demon,

we will

never be together.

Chong Zi, you're finally awake.

I just woke up, and I'm starving now.

Only you could sleep that well.

You don't know

what happened after your master

brought you back.

Did anything happen to Qin Ke?

He's fine but grounded.

But Senior Mu...

Senior Mu?

What happened to him?

He disobeyed our sect's rule,

so he was punished to be whipped by Councilor Sage

and his identity as the chief disciple is suspended.

Besides, he has to reflect on himself in Patriarch's Hall.

Why...

Why did they punish Senior Mu?

I should be the one to be whipped.

I forced them to take me together,

they didn't...

Even if we know it's you that caused the trouble

and should be punished,

you're Sage Chonghua's disciple,

so Councilor Sage can't punish you even if he is angry.

But he had to warn other disciples

and maintain his prestige,

so he had to punish his own disciple.

Well,

I'll go to beg him for mercy.

You are smart in daily life,

but you're not when facing important events.

The punishment is almost finished,

so why do you go to him? Do you want to pour more fuel on fire?

Then

I'll beg Master for mercy.

You're also risking your head now.

I think you'd better stay calm.

Mind your own business.

Never irritate the sages again.

But I have to think about ways to help them.

Qin Ke.

Chong Zi?

Why do you come here?

We're friends.

You're punished for me,

so how could I ignore you?

I'm sorry to have dragged you down.

I'm too willful.

But I swear

I'll help you at all costs

whenever you need me.

Let's make a pinky swear.

You don't believe me.

You took a big risk for me,

and you must tell me whatever difficulties you meet in the future.

Promise me.

The pinky swear is done.

I've never made a pinky swear with others before.

Well, I'll regard it as your first time.

By the way, these cakes are for you.

I'll go to visit you in a few days.

Where are you going?

I'm going to visit Senior Mu.

He is involved in this trouble by us.

This is the Feather Cream.

It helps to activate blood and remove stasis a lot.

Take this to him.

Councilor Sage is very cruel

and forbids us to give medicine to Senior Mu.

He wants Senior Mu to suffer the pain.

Thanks for your medicine, Qin Ke.

I'll never tell others

that this medicine is given by you.

(Patriarch's Hall)

Senior Mu and the others see it every day, so it must be safe.

I don't need to be scared.

It's sealed now,

and it's just a piece of scrap iron.

I don't need to be scared.

Chong Zi.

Senior Mu.

Senior Mu.

I'm sorry.

I dragged you down.

It's not a serious punishment.

Don't be sad.

But you're suspended.

It's temporary.

After leaving here, I'm still the chief disciple of Nanhua Sect.

But you

can't irritate your master again.

Senior Mu,

this medicine can help to activate blood and remove stasis.

Take it.

Why did you steal medicine?

I didn't steal it. It's...

I didn't steal it, anyway.

You

should take care of yourself.

You sneaked out, didn't you?

Senior Mu,

why do you treat me so well?

Can't I do that?

I don't think I deserve that.

It's because you're Chong Zi.

All right, you should go back now.

Otherwise, your master will blame you if he knows this.

Moreover,

come to Patriarch's Hall less in the future,

in case someone will witness you and tell on you.

Master,

I'm back.

Master, do you remember

the Mr. Immortal I told you about?

Is his name Chu Bufu?

Where did you hear this name?

I heard Miss Gong

mentioned this name to Wan Jie.

Does it have anything to do with you?

I think Wan Jie, Chu Bufu,

and Mr. Immortal

must be connected.

And Wan Jie's face...

Rest early.

Stay on Zizhu Peak

to cultivate yourself and improve your temper

from tomorrow.

I...

Wan Jie.

It's rare to see you come here.

It's said you have the woman you want,

but why do you have a long face?

Get out of my way.

You rarely come to me.

I want to remove the Demon Pill from my body.

I know you have a method.

It's not easy.

When the Demon Pill was put into your body,

it has become Qi

and intertwined with your Soul Threads.

It has become

part of your primordial spirit.

If you want to remove it,

I do have a method.

But I'm afraid

you can't bear the pain.

I've experienced changing to be a demon from an immortal,

and I've suffered a lot,

so I can bear all kinds of pain.

But after it is removed,

all your power

will disappear along with the Demon Pill.

By then,

you can't learn any skills,

and won't be a demon nor an immortal.

By then,

what should you do?

I don't need that.

I only want to be what I used to be.

You'll never understand that.

Tell me

your conditions.

Never mind.

Immortals are the same as demons,

and we do things as we like.

It's not easy to remove the Demon Pill,

and I need time to prepare.

Before that,

I want you to do one thing for me.

Go ahead.

Catch one person for me.

Who?

What are you writing? It's ugly.

It has been many days,

and Master doesn't allow me to leave the mountain,

nor does he speak to me.

He asks me to either read books on magical skills

or practice magical skills every day.

I think he's still mad at me.

By the way,

why didn't you come to me?

I came to you,

but your master said you were cultivating yourself

and didn't allow us to disturb you,

nor would you meet anyone.

I am grounded by Master.

But Chong Zi,

what trouble did you cause in Shuixin Pavilion?

It's said to be your master's first time

being that angry.

I met Wan Jie.

Wan Jie? You met him?

Did you have a fight?

Fight?

How could I match him?

I was attacked by him.

However,

I think Wan Jie

looks like Mr. Immortal

that I used to know.

Mr. Immortal?

Besides,

I always feel Master and Wan Jie

used to know each other.

But when I mentioned that to Master,

he would always be angry,

so I didn't dare to ask him much.

But since Master acts like that,

does it mean Mr. Immortal is still alive?

What's his surname?

Let me think.

His surname is Chu.

Did no one tell you that?

Of course your master won't tell you that

because before being a demon,

Wan Jie was Chu Bufu,

the famous chief disciple of Changsheng Palace

as well as your Mr. Immortal.

The chief disciple of Changsheng Palace?

Wan Jie?

They are actually the same person.

When we heard about that,

we also felt unbelievable

because we didn't think that kind of person would be a demon.

I remember the first time I saw him

was at the Meeting of Immortal Sects ten years ago.

He was wearing white clothes on that day.

- Come to see him. - Look.

He's so handsome and elegant.

I really like him.

He's very good-looking.

I know him.

He's Chu Bufu from Changsheng Palace.

He's so handsome.

Anyone who saw him

liked his gentleness

and beauty.

Unfortunately, he made a mistake several years ago.

What did he do?

What happened back then?

It's a taboo among immortals.

We don't dare to mention that now.

After Sage Chonghua got the Wufang Pearl,

Chu Bufu took the lead to send Ni Lun's Sword

to Nanhua Sect for purification.

However, the 3,000 disciples who went with him died tragically in one night,

and Ni Lun's Sword went missing. And then...

And then Wan Jie, the Demon King, appeared.

It's rumored he killed his peers

in order to occupy the demon sword.

I don't believe that.

I was just a beggar back then,

and he helped me,

so how could he...

There must be something behind it.

Perhaps.

But we can't deny the fact

that the 3,000 disciples died accidentally.

I don't believe that

unless he admits it personally.

Wan Jie is the Demon King,

so why do you insist on believing him?

He is my benefactor.

I wouldn't have joined Nanhua Sect without him,

nor would I have met Master.

He's the best person I've ever met

besides Master.

I'd rather doubt myself than him.

In that case,

he may have his reason.

No wonder Miss Gong was also involved

when Wan Jie was chased after by Changsheng Palace.

It's because Chu Bufu and Miss Gong

were a couple in the Immortal World.

Does Changsheng Palace

want to use Miss Gong to allure Wan Jie...

To allure Chu Bufu to appear?

Chong Zi,

what's wrong?

I'm fine.

Zhenzhu,

I feel a little uncomfortable,

and I want to stay alone.

Okay, take care of yourself.

I'll come to you a few days later.

Don't think randomly.

I'll help you to ask around these days.

Don't get stuck in your thoughts.

Goodbye.
