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

=Episode 19=

Qin Ke, why were you in a daze

while competing with me?

Don't try to let me win on purpose.

I don't want that.

I was distracted because of poor skills.

It's being late. Go to rest early.

(Why does it feel so familiar?)

Miss.

Miss.

What's wrong with you?

Are you injured?

(Hengyang Inn) I'm from Luocheng,

where Dragon King is making trouble.

I saw candlelight in the distance,

so I wanted to find a place to rest.

This medicine was given to me by my friend and it works very well.

Could it be that you and your friend are staying here

because of being persecuted by Dragon King?

We are here to eliminate harm for the people.

Now the town is in chaos,

and the people have suffered countless casualties.

It may be dangerous for you alone.

Unless

you are from Nanhua?

Exactly.

We have a lot of people,

and we will be more careful.

If so,

I have one request.

May I go into town with you?

With your protection, I will not be afraid.

You just escaped,

why do you want to go back?

My husband is still in the town.

He is seriously ill,

and I came to gather herbs and sell plants

for his sake.

I'm out of town.

I don't know what's going on inside.

I...

I have to go back to check.

If anything happens to him,

what is the use of me picking these herbs?

Don't worry.

I will follow far behind the team

and will not disturb you.

I will tell my senior tomorrow.

And you can follow us from afar.

Thank you so much.

Chong Zi followed them there

and said that it's your order.

Is it true?

I wanted to go down the mountain with Chong Zi.

I just let her go first.

How could she...

Chong Zi is a disciple of Nanhua,

and she has to practice.

Alright, I have to go.

Goodbye.

Qin Ke.

Junior Qin.

You are finally here.

The Dragon King took many people away.

Luohe River is now full of huge waves.

We'd better not rush forward now.

How dare the Dragon King be so rampant?

We have found the way

to Qianchi Cave at the bottom of the river.

It's just that there are nearly two thousand water monsters.

Moreover, the Dragon King has practiced for 500 years and is difficult to deal with.

These disciples should not take risks easily.

Now that we have explored the way to Qianchi Cave,

I will take a team there

to fight against the Dragon King.

It would be very dangerous.

Which of you would like to go with me?

- I'm going. - I'm going.

I'd also like to go.

No way.

I'm going.

No.

Miaoyuan.

Take everyone to find the surviving people.

I'm going to make contact with the seniors who are stationed here.

Why?

Haven't we always acted together?

Disciples of Team One.

Let's get started.

The others will be led by Senior Miaoyuan

to settle down the surviving people

and try to save as many people as possible.

If everything goes well,

I'll come back tomorrow and arrange the next move.

Take care.

Don't act rashly.

- Yes. - Yes.

(Where is Shuixian?)

Wake up, kid.

- Mom. - You are awake.

Thank you, miss.

Zhenzhu, have you seen a lady selling flowers?

If you see her, let me know.

Senior.

Senior.

Senior.

Senior Qin Ke and the others

were sucked into Qainchi Cave by the Dragon King.

They have been missing for four hours.

What?

Senior.

Step aside.

Senior, calm down. If you go now,

one more person will be missing.

You may not be able to save him.

Yes, you are right.

I can't do it alone.

Let's go save him together.

I order all of you

to go to Qianchi Cave together.

It's not a good idea.

Qin Ke has Demon-constraining Silk with him.

The Dragon King wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

He must be trapped at the bottom of the river at most.

That's easy enough for you to say.

It's not you who is trapped.

I can't let Qin Ke be in trouble without doing anything.

We have to do something,

but be cautious.

I think

we should go to the nearest Yunfeng Sect for help.

If we rush forward like this,

not only will we not have the ability to fight,

but we may also drag Qin Ke down.

Yunfeng Sect isn't that strong,

but they have always been friends with Nanhua.

If we ask for help,

they will certainly not sit idly by.

You don't have much strength left.

You'd better go back to Nanhua with me to make amends.

Make amends for what?

I've been free all my life

and I hate the immortal sects most.

You are really carefree.

Have you ever thought about

how innocent those people who have been harmed by you are?

If you want to take me down, just do it.

Why talking about this?

Don't you are to admit

what you have done?

Ridiculous.

If I am right,

Qianchi Crave should be right under the river.

Qin Ke is also there.

Let's go.

If you want to go,

get past me first.

Shuixian.

No.

You are not Shuixian.

Who are you?

What are you talking about, Chong Zi?

I am Shuixian.

You know someone of the Demon World?

You... you are from the Demon World?

Yes.

I am Yin Shuixian, protector of the Demon World.

Remember it now?

You traitor, how dare you collude with a demon?

I'm going to tell Councilor Sage.

You!

Yin Shuixian

used to be a famous senior of Tianshan Sect.

Seeing is believing.

I've been hearing about you from others.

You are really extraordinary

and worthy of your name.

Tianshan Sect?

Chong Zi.

How could you know her?

Yin Shuixian is someone hard to deal with.

It's a pity that she became a demon

and is despised by the whole world.

No.

She is stalling for time.

If this continues, Qin Ke will be in danger.

You seem to be smart.

If you rush into the river, you won't be able to save him,

and you will even lose your own lives.

If your Senior Qin

could subdue the Dragon King,

he'd have been here long ago.

You are deliberately making us deal with the Dragon King

so that you can reap the benefits.

We will definitely take down the Dragon King.

You better stop

- wasting your efforts. - Ridiculous.

Just a protector of the Demon World.

I can deal with you alone.

(No.)

(The disciples of Nanhua must have been entangled by the demon.)

If you are worried about your fellows, just go up.

And you'll escape.

There's not a winner yet.

I won't run away.

After you get things done,

let's fight again.

I didn't expect you to be so generous.

Why did you bother

the residents on the banks of Luohe River?

Would you believe me if I said I never hurt anyone?

I have witnessed the misery of the people.

How could I believe you?

Forget it.

It's no use talking to you.

This is between me and the demons.

Zhenzhu.

Chong Zi is so great.

Of course.

Chong Zi is good at many things.

It's just that you don't know.

- Why are you here? - To do you a favor.

Don't forget that

our target is the Dragon King.

I will deal with them.

Go get the Dragon King out from the river.

Qin Ke.

Don't bother.

Qin Ke.

Are you okay?

Why are you alone?

Where is the Dragon King?

You killed him?

There is no more Dragon King in this world.

I don't care about the grievances

between the demons and the Dragon King.

But I can't ignore

what you did to the people here.

Master.

- My king. - My king.

Yin Shuixian.

Are you worthy of Xueling who sacrificed

for such reckless actions?

Luo Yinfan.

The ones who have truly

failed Xueling are you.

So impenitent.

Luo Yinfan.

You got a good disciple.

I like her.

(It's him.)

I am a good person.

I will not lie to you.

My name is Wang Yue,

meaning

dead moon.

Mr. Luo, aren't we going to hunt them down?

Where is the Dragon King?

Mr. Luo.

Junior Qin Ke has dealt with the Dragon King.

I'm not asking you.

Why did you lie?

Isn't the Dragon King dead?

I will ask you one last time.

Where is the Dragon King now?

I made my own decision and let him go.

But I can't ignore

what you did to the people here.

Master, Qin Ke must have

his reasons for doing this.

Qin Ke, tell us

what happened

in Qianchi Cave.

My fellows and I

chased the Dragon King to Qianchi Cave.

The Dragon King was at a disadvantage.

There were a few times when he could run to the shore,

but he had no intention of starting the battle,

and taking the people on the shore as hostages.

Later,

when the protector of the Demon World came,

he was worried about our disciples,

so he asked me to go ashore first to meet the enemy.

His various behaviors

made me think that he is not a villain.

So I persuaded him to tell me the truth.

You'd better tell me everything.

Otherwise,

even if we can get out alive today,

the immortal sect will

treat you as a remnant of the demons in the future.

You have offended the immortal sect,

but you don't want to join the Demon World.

So you will have to hide all day long.

Do you want to live a life like this?

If you are willing to trust me,

I will help you today.

When the demons see you and me together,

they will stay away from you in the future.

Two options,

life or death. It's up to you.

Are you serious?

The Dragon King didn't harm the people on the banks of Luohe River.

It was the demons who pretended to be him

and killed countless people in order to force him to become a demon several times,

and then used our power to deal with him.

If what you said is true,

the Dragon King

owes Nanhua a great favor.

Why did you let him go?

I have to let him go.

Why?

You helped him out of the siege,

and he should surrender to Nanhua.

In this way, you'd have made a great contribution.

With the character of the Dragon King,

he is more suitable to be

a free monster in the world

than staying in the immortal sect.

I made my own decision.

Supervisor Sage, please punish me.

In the three worlds of mortals, monsters and demons,

not all races

are suitable for cultivating immortal bones.

For a free monster who is used to being at ease,

instead of forcing him to submit to the immortal sect,

it is better to adapt to local conditions

and let him play to his strengths.

Qin Ke.

You are right.

Tell the Dragon King for me that

Nanhua granted him permission not to follow the immortal sect.

But from now on, he has to protect the peace of Luohe River.

As long as he doesn't submit to the demons

nor harm the people,

if he is in trouble one day,

Nanhua will definitely help him.

Yes.

I asked to you take care.

But you still rushed ahead regardless.

Your magical power is still weak.

If you hadn't taken the wise counsel I gave you with you,

you would have been seriously injured.

I was too self-willed

to follow the seniors down the mountain without authorization

and made you worry.

Although you went down the mountain on your own,

you were calm when fighting Yin Shuixian,

and put the overall situation first.

It's not a fault.

I meant to take you with me,

but didn't want you to misunderstand me.

So you don't need to blame yourself.

You did a good job.

Master, you never blame me,

is it because of

the disciple you had?

But I'm different from her.

I'd never sympathize with the demons.

I won't have anything to do with them either.

Master.

Did you take me as her substitute?

How could you be a substitute?

Master, trust me.

I will never hurt you

like she did,

and

I will make you proud of me.

Chong.

Stop it.

I just hope you are

safe and sound by my side.

Nothing else

matters.

(Liuhe Hall)

Who would have thought that a mere Dragon King

could attract Demon King Wang Yue to show up?

I guess

the demons are trying to reap the benefits.

Nice try.

Now that the battle

between the Demon World and the Immortal World is inevitable,

we might as well

join hands with several sects

to directly attack the demons

and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

No.

It is really inappropriate to start a war with the demons now.

I've fought with Wang Yue once.

Although I'm slightly better,

I don't know

if he deliberately concealed his strength.

If we acted rashly,

it would only increase unnecessary casualties.

I agree with Yinfan.

The stakes are high.

The immortal sects should be responsible.

But look, Qinghua Palace is overcautious.

Not even a single person of Changsheng Palace came.

It can be told that they are unwilling to take the lead.

Unless...

Unless we discuss it with the Tianshan Sect first.

If we can reach a consensus,

Qinghua Sect and Changsheng Palace

will have to go.

Exactly.

Yinfan, what do you think?

I still have things to attend to.

You can go first.

What are you

going to do?

For that girl

again?

It is only natural for a master to worry about his disciple.

Councilor, please

take the disciples to Tianshan first.

Yinfan, after you settle down with Chong Zi,

go there yourself, okay?

I will make a decision after discussing with my disciple.

What?

Discuss with her?

Qin Ke, Miaoyuan.

Immediately set off with me

for Tianshan.

Yes.

Shuixian.

I've said it many times, it's windy at night.

Can't you obediently wait for me in the house?

Wouldn't it be better

to see you sooner?

Forget it.

I'll come back earlier next time.

Let's go.

Look how cold you are.

Here.

Can't you

take care of yourself

while I'm away?

Sorry, Shuixian.

I...

I'm not angry, why apologizing?

Because of me,

you are running around all day and working hard outside.

I...

Stop talking.

You are sick, and can't get worried.

It's okay, everything's fine.

Really?

No matter how big troubles are,

as long as I see you,

they will all disappear.

You are my reassurance.

As long as you are here,

the world

is valuable to me.

If only I could be with you all the time.

Are you leaving again?

I'm going to send some plants to Tuzhou.

But it won't take long.

Just wait for me at home.

Don't get out.

Okay.

I'll wait for you to come back.

The light is on.

- The light is on. - So bright.

Look at the sky.

It's a dream.

Zi, why did I dream about Master again?

No way.

I can't ask for more

just because Master treats me well.

But wasn't Master

just a sage before he became my master?

It makes sense.

Are you also laughing at me?

Chong.

You are not healed yet.

Why are you here

instead of resting in the room?

♪Come and pick up the shattered sword♪

♪With your magnanimity♪

♪To the vast sky♪

♪One day♪

♪There will be daylight♪

Master.

Thank you for your gift.

Don't eat too much. Sweets are not good for recovery.

Master, I'm fine now.

I can eat five more.

Try it. It's so sweet.

How is it? Is it sweet?

I wanted to say that I was going to Tianshan.

But your spiritual power has not recovered yet.

I can't let you stay on Zizhu Peak alone.

Master.

Am I going to be alone

at home again?

I just want to ask

if you are willing to go to Tianshan with me.

Of course.

But last time I was in Luohe,

I ashamed you.

This time...

It's because I wasn't by your side last time.

But this time is different.

We're just going to negotiate.

You don't have to fight.

The snow scenery of Tianshan is very beautiful.

Just play around there.

Miss Zhuo will also go.

Let her check on you.

Master, can I have more?

So greedy.

We have received a message that

they are on their way to Tianshan Sect.

Tianshan Sect?

Heavenly Lake.

Could it be that...

My king, if it succeeds,

it would be a great fortune for us.

Yin Xinmo.

This time the operation

is up to you to arrange.

What should I do?

He will assist you in action.

By then,

you will know what to do.

I got it, it's just...

Who is he indeed?

Is he believable?

He is the most loyal subordinate in our Demon World.

Your seniority

is far

behind him.

is so soft.

(Tianshan)

Yue Qiao, chief disciple of Tianshan Sect.

Su Xiaoxiao, disciple of Tianshan Sect.

- Greetings to Sage. - Greetings to Sage.

Councilor Sage of your sect has already arrived

and is having tea with Lord Lan.

They sent us down to meet you two.

Please follow us.

The snow scenery of Tianshan is really beautiful.

No matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

Exactly.

Tianshan Sect is one of the ten sects of the immortal sects,

founded by Patriarch Yuanzhi.

When Patriarch Yuanzhi passed by Tianshan,

he was fascinated by the snow scene,

so he settled down here.

Then he got inspiration from the snow

and created Tianshan swordsmanship.

It is ethereal and elegant,

beautiful and unpredictable, so it is famous all over the world.

Please come with me.

Chong, let's go.

Chong.

Take care.

Master, hurry up.

Master, hurry up.

Zhenzhu.

Chong Zi.

Chong Zi.

Chong, slow down.

Chong Zi.

Chong.

(Tianshan Hall) What an ignorant girl.

She tripped and fell even when watching the snow.

So careless.

The ground is slippery.

Junior, be careful.

Get up.

Thank you, Senior.

I've informed Lord Lan.

Mr. Luo.

I'm late.

Sorry, Lord Lan.

You must be tired of travelling.

Why don't you take a break before discussion?

Thank you, but proper business is top priority.

Who is this lady?

She's the disciple

of Supervisor Sage.

I've long heard that Sage Chonghua

accepted a skilled disciple.

So that's her.

Chong Zi.

Greet Lord Lan.

Greetings to Lord Lan.

I heard that you performed well

during the siege of the Dragon King in Luohe.

You are worthy of being Sage Chonghua's disciple.

Lord Lan, she's flattered.

Watch out.

The snow looks easy to walk on,

but you have to pay attention to every step.

Many kids suffer when they first arrive here.

Back then, Xueling's...

Just forget about the scandal.

Lord Zhuo has been waiting for you for a long time.

Please come with me.

I heard that plum blossoms in Tianshan are amazing.

Senior Yue Qiao, could you show me around?

If you have time,

it's fine with me.

Chong Zi.

Senior, sorry.

My bad.

Did you do it on purpose?

- I... - What are you doing?

Master.

I wanted you and Qin Ke

to help the disciples of Tianshan

arrange the dinner together.

But look

what you are doing here.

Master, they did it first.

Why are you

as ignorant as her?

I...

Reflect on yourself in your room.

And you.

Go back to your room.

Yes.

The two of you.

Reflect on yourselves in your room.

Councilor.

Chong Zi came to Tianshan for the first time,

maybe she didn't know the rules here.

I'll stay and teach her

so she won't make another mistake.

Look at you.

You know that Councilor is always strict.

Why is he mad at this?

Everyone played snowball fights when they were kids,

right?

If this is Nanhua, you can do whatever you want.

But this is Tianshan after all.

It makes sense.

Qin Ke, tell me about

the rules of the Tianshan Sect.

For example,

what is the scandal

that Lord Lan mentioned just now?

I'm afraid I would make a mistake again.

Do you remember Protector Yin Shuixian?

She used to be a disciple of Tianshan.

Her master was Sage Xueling.

Sage Xueling died in the Heavenly Lake

in that battle between immortals and demons.

Yin Shuixian stole his body.

Then came the news that she became a demon.

And she was despised by the entire immortal sect.

Why did Yin Shuixian steal the body?

Because Sage Xueling was her true love.

She shouldn't have stolen his body anyway.

If she really loved him,

how could she become a demon?

By the way,

there is a Plum Blossom Ridge behind the guest rooms

with few people there.

If you really want to have fun,

I'll take you there

after I am finished here.

The sages will not go there.

Okay.

I really didn't expect that

there is someone more boring than me

in the world of ice and snow.

Shall we

play it together?

Don't you have anything to do?

No.

I've been idle for ten years.

You!

Who are you?

Don't you know me?

Why should I know you?

Are you famous?

(Qinghua Palace)

Qinghua Palace?

Are you

Zhuo Yao?

What are you laughing at?

You must be a newcomer.

This is Zhuo Hao,

Young Master of Qinghua Palace.

Tell me

which sect are you from?

Tianshan Sect, Changsheng Palace, or...

This is Chong Zi,

disciple of Supervisor Sage of Nanhua.

Greetings to Young Master Zhuo.

I have something to do and I am leaving.

Stop.

Tell me

what's your name.

Always the same.

Chong Zi.

Who gave you this name?

Luo Yinfan?

How dare he accept another disciple?

Why this name again?

Why not?

It's a matter of course that my master should name me.

Just come to me alone.

You don't

deserve it.

Go back and tell Luo Yinfan that

one day I will personally settle accounts with him.

Listen, don't mess around.

Never hurt my master.

The blind loyalty remains the same.

Piss off!

(It's so weird.)

(What's wrong with my name?)

Why are those from Qinghua

so rude?
