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

=Episode 22=

This is for Chong.

Take the medicine according to this prescription,

and she will be much better in a few days.

But to get rid of the lingering effect,

some medicines are rare,

and it will take some time.

Got it.

Thank you, Miss Zhuo.

Yinfan.

There is no one else here.

I want you to tell me

if this girl

is just like her.

Did you forget it?

Her primordial spirit was completely destroyed,

and there was no possibility of her surviving.

I have no intention of exposing your scars.

You keep saying that

you want to take the common people as your own responsibility.

But since you took in your disciple,

the figure of Sage Chonghua

eradicating demons has disappeared.

Nanhua's younger disciples have all grown up.

Qin Ke, Sima Miaoyuan and others

are all outstanding in spells.

There are also young talents in other sects.

It is better to let them practice more.

Besides,

I never for a moment forgot my duty.

Chong Zi needs to be cured.

The condition of the people in the city

cannot be ignored either.

You are right.

I'm going to refine the medicine.

I want to use your spiritual power

to help me dissolve some herbs.

Just now, I saw that the prescription for Chong Zi

has two medicinal materials, Polygonum and Biliu Herb.

Two prescriptions.

One for detoxification and the other for healing.

Both are good medicines for nourishing Qi and the body.

Don't worry.

I am most familiar with the properties of medicinal materials.

They won't do any harm to Chong.

Chong, why did you get out of bed?

Master, let's go back to Nanhua.

I am at ease staying on Zizhu Peak.

Look at you.

Now you know you have to go back quickly.

People nearby got Heart Poison.

I can't leave them alone.

Stay here to heal the wounds in peace.

When the situation improves,

we will go back immediately.

Take it.

Are you feeling better?

Thank you, Miss Zhuo.

I am much better.

Where is my master?

He transmits spiritual power to you every day,

and there is a certain loss.

After delivering the medicine to you just now,

he went to the backyard for cultivation.

Although you are getting better,

Heart Poison is spreading in this town

and there's not a minute to lose.

I can help.

No need.

You have just recovered from a serious illness.

Besides, the technique of refining medicine

is not something a disciple can control.

Maybe you can learn it later.

Chong Zi.

Do you know what Heart Poison is?

Heart Poison is from the demons.

It is not harmful at all,

but it can magnify

people's desires endlessly,

cause them to have disputes,

even kill each other

and do things that are painful and regrettable,

and finally lead to disaster.

But what desires

can a man have in his heart?

Many.

Greed,

hate

and love.

It is not surprising to have desires,

even for disciples of the immortal sects.

In fact, after suffering from Heart Poison,

as long as you calm down and suppress your desires within three months,

the poison will be cured naturally.

Unfortunately, not all people

have this perseverance.

The town is not safe.

Your cultivation is still weak.

Keep this antidote

just in case.

What people are most afraid of is not desire,

but losing control of it.

I once knew someone of the Tianshan Sect.

She wasn't poisoned,

but she made a big mistake because of her desire,

and finally became a demon.

It can be seen that failure to control one's feelings

is more terrifying than being hit by Heart Poison.

Is it Yin Shuixian?

Chong Zi.

What are your feelings for your master?

I...

My master is very nice to me.

I have to practice hard

to live up to his painstaking efforts.

If you have nothing to do,

think about what I just said to you.

People can be harmed by desires,

and so can disciples of the immortal sects.

There is nothing wrong with having desires.

However, selfish desires can easily lead to evil thoughts,

which is something that practitioners cannot do.

A disciple of the immortal sect

should be austere without selfish desires.

Otherwise,

once a person is swallowed by desire,

it will lead to countless bitter fruits.

You are so smart

and you should understand these.

I'm just saying.

You can relax.

(Are these words said unintentionally)

(or intentionally?)

(And she gave me medicine.)

Witch, get out!

- Get out! - Witch, get out!

Witch, get out!

- Get out! - Witch, get out!

- Witch, get out! - Witch!

- Witch! - Witch, get out!

Get out!

- Witch! - Witch, get out!

Witch, get out!

I am going to kill you!

- Witch, get out! - Get out!

- Get out! - Get out!

How dare you! We came from the Qinghua Sect

and we are here to help you.

We are fine and do not need your help.

They are poisoned and won't listen to you.

They are coming for us.

Someone must have ordered them.

It's Yin Xinmo.

Ting Xue.

Give them the antidote.

Yes.

You were hit by the Heart Poison,

so you are at people's disposal.

Now I'll bring you the antidote.

Take it.

Witch.

Who wants it?

It's not safe here, get in first.

One pill per person.

They have helpers.

Come on, everyone.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Piss off.

How dare you give me poison?

Just take it.

Where am I?

What have I done?

You are just poisoned.

It's not your fault.

Immortal lady.

Kill me.

- Immortal lady, it's our fault. - Don't worry.

These things didn't actually happen,

they were just illusions

created by your desires.

Is that true?

Don't you believe me?

How come?

You are absolutely right. But...

But we...

(For these people,)

(forgetting is the best way.)

(They thought it was all imagination.)

(Chong took great pains)

(on it.)

Even if you don't believe me,

you have to believe in my master.

Yes.

Who else is such a person

besides Supervisor Sage?

- Right. - Yes, he's Supervisor Sage.

He's Supervisor Sage.

Thank you, Supervisor Sage.

- Thank you, Supervisor Sage. - Thank you, Supervisor Sage.

You should go back.

- Thank you, Supervisor Sage. - Thank you, Supervisor Sage.

- Let's go home. - Let's go.

Come on in.

Watch out!

Master, what happened to you?

It's Heart Poison.

I have the antidote.

No need.

It's just Heart Poison.

All I need to do is to ban my desires.

It's nothing serious.

Your cultivation base is weak, and it is difficult to control yourself.

If you are poisoned, you will be in trouble.

Keep the antidote

properly.

Miss Zhuo told me that

after being hit by Heart Poison,

as long as you meditate and suppress desires for three months,

it will be relieved naturally.

Master naturally

doesn't need the antidote.

Chong still needs to rest for a while.

Sage Chonghua, if you have nothing to do,

how about you continue to save the common people

with me as before?

I haven't been back to Nanhua for a long time.

I haven't had time to thank Sage Tianji

about the ice demons.

At present, the demons are causing more chaos than before.

Miss Zhuo.

You'd better go back to Qinghua Palace

to stay for a while.

You are underestimating me.

Even if I am alone,

I will not go back to seek my brother's protection.

However,

although Chong is fine for the time being,

she still needs proper conditioning

to completely eradicate the lingering effect of the disease.

Since you care so much about her,

how about

I go back to Zizhu Peak with you?

I'll take care of her myself.

That way you can have time

to focus on proper business.

Miss Zhuo, don't bother.

I'm fine.

Chong.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Miss Zhuo, thank you.

Miss Zhuo, thank you.

Why don't you

seem to welcome my master?

Ting Xue.

Medicine saves lives, speech saves hearts.

From now on, concentrate on

cultivation with Sage Chonghua,

and follow me to heal diseases.

Don't think about anything else.

The turmoil of the mind is not good for anyone.

(Zizhu Peak, Nanhua Mountain) Have you heard?

(Zizhu Peak, Nanhua Mountain) Sage Chonghua has returned with Miss Zhuo.

Are you talking about

Miss Zhuo from Qinghua Palace?

But Zizhu Peak has never allowed

outsiders to enter.

What's wrong with you?

This is to tell the world that

Miss Zhuo is not an outsider.

It seems that Councilor Sage is right.

They are going to get married.

How dare you

gossip Sage Chonghua?

- Senior Zhenzhu. - Senior Zhenzhu.

If you dare to talk nonsense again,

I will tell Councilor.

You don't cultivate seriously

but spread rumors.

I'd like to see

how he will punish you when he knows.

It's our fault.

Please spare us.

Zhenzhu.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Why did you stop me?

Didn't you hear how they

talked about Chong Zi behind her back?

Haven't you taught them a lesson?

Why get angry because of them?

You should have spoken for me.

Chong Zi's business is mine.

Yes, I am clumsy in speech

and a blockhead.

So

I can only focus on

other things.

Do you know

what it means to send this to a girl?

That's why I want to send it to you.

You are not dumb at all,

and you deliberately pretend to be a fool.

Miss Zhuo, I'm much better now.

Look at me. I'm alive and kicking.

And

I haven't practiced spells for a long time.

I...

Patients never feel sick.

Ting Xue.

Here.

- Drink... - Drink it all, right?

Miss Zhuo, I finished the medicine.

May I go out now?

I haven't seen Lion for a long time.

I will just take a look.

You are not allowed to go anywhere.

I will let Lion come here to keep you company.

Where is my master?

Your master has just returned to Nanhua,

and there are a lot of affairs that need to be dealt with.

He repeatedly asked me to take good care of you.

If you really want to be a good disciple,

stop letting him get distracted by you.

But Master

never taught me to do this.

How dare you treat my master like this?

Forget it. I was absent-minded

and found the pendant was glowing.

Ting Xue.

Chong Zi needs more rest.

Don't bother her.

Let's go.

Yinfan.

Yunji moved to Zizhu Peak?

She'll just stay for a few days.

Alright.

It seems that you listened to

what I told you last time.

I just let her take care of Chong.

I got it.

Although Miss Zhuo is here this time

to take care of Chong Zi,

it is actually

a good opportunity for her to get along with you.

Yinfan, you have been enlightened.

I'm happy for you.

Councilor, if that's all you have

to talk to me,

I am leaving.

Senior, I have something else to do.

Okay.

Go about your business.

After so many years,

he finally brought someone

other than evildoers

to Zizhu Peak.

It seems that what Zhuo Yunji said last time was true.

She said

they would arrange it themselves.

And now

it came true.

Let's leave them alone

and let them develop freely.

Wait.

I have to send a letter to Zhuo Yao.

He should get to prepare

the two marriages.

Now Nanhua and Qinghua

will be connected ever closer.

Councilor.

Let's not talk about the matter of Zhuo Hao and Suqiu for now.

But I'm afraid that

Yinfan has never fallen in love

with Miss Zhuo.

How about we let Mu Yu find out the truth?

There is no rush for this.

It's just Chong Zi's business.

It doesn't matter whether it is Tianshan or Qinghua,

as long as

she can get married.

Otherwise,

let her move to Yuchen Peak,

lest she affects

Yinfan and Miss Zhuo.

Are you used to living here?

Do you need anything?

Everything's fine.

I have been wandering in the Mortal World.

It's so elegant here

that I'm not used to it.

Chong will be left to you

in the next few days.

Healing diseases and saving lives is my duty,

not to mention she is your disciple.

But...

How much do you know about Chong Zi?

I didn't mean anything else.

It's just that I saw the pendant on her neck

flickering faintly,

which seemed unusual.

I know something

about the origin of that pendant.

That was the only token

left by Chong Zi's biological parents.

Chong Zi is different from other disciples in Nanhua,

she never learned spells before coming to Nanhua.

So I added an immortal seal

to the pendant

so that I could know immediately

if she was in danger.

Miss Zhuo,

what's wrong with it?

It seems that

I am asking for a snub.

If it is just to protect her safety,

it's understandable.

Yet the remaining influence of what happened to the Tianshan Sect is still there.

And the last Chong Zi

ended up...

I have my own decision.

You are right.

I even forgot that

you are Luo Yinfan,

the omnipotent Sage Chonghua.

I'd better prepare medicine

for your disciple.

(She must have noticed that there is something wrong with the pendant.)

(I can't let her discover the secret of Chong Zi.)

(Heart Poison attacks faster than I thought.)

(I have to hurry up.)

Greetings to Master.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master, I haven't seen you for many days.

I am worried about you.

Don't get closer.

Master.

Why can't I get closer?

Master.

Why are your ears so hot?

Are you sick?

Is it too hot inside?

Let me cool down for you.

Didn't I tell you

not to come closer?

Can't you hear me?

I...

Master.

Why are you acting weird today?

Chong.

Why are you here?

Is there anything wrong

with me visiting my master?

Your master is in retreat these days.

Don't come here for now.

Come again later.

Master.

Master. Master.

(Chonghua Palace)

Why can't I be in there

but Miss Zhuo can?

Could it be Heart Poison?

When did it happen?

I gave Chong the antidote.

Didn't she give it to you?

I was overconfident,

thinking that I just need to forbid my desires

to deal with Heart Poison,

so I didn't take it seriously.

What to do?

If you miss the opportunity to take the medicine,

every attack will be a painful pain.

Even if I decoct the medicine now,

it will take several months.

Never mind.

I can get rid of Heart Poison

after I get the Mirror Heart Skill.

But how could your symptoms

be so severe just now?

Could it be that...

Promise me that

you will never tell anyone else

about this.

I have never told anyone

about you.

Here.

These are all herbs

that are often used in practice.

Miss Zhuo and I have to rely on you all

during our stay in Nanhua.

They may not be expensive,

but were all specially collected

when my master and I traveled far and wide.

You and Miss Zhuo are guests,

so we should take care of you.

Huosha Herb.

Is it Huosha Herb inside

that only blooms

once in a hundred years?

Amazing.

You can tell by smell alone.

My master said that Nanhua's disciples are outstanding,

so the gifts should be the best.

Thank Miss Zhuo for us.

You've been walking around Nanhua lately.

Why aren't you taking care of

Luo Yinfan's half-dead disciple on Zizhu Peak,

but came here?

I'm not her servant.

Why should I always be by her side?

Besides taking care of her,

can't I get some fresh air outside?

You don't seem to

want to take care of her.

If my master hadn't promised Sage Chonghua

to stay with Chong Zi,

I really don't want to

see her proud face again.

But I remember that

if Chong Zi hadn't helped you before,

you are still an ordinary person,

how could you be Zhuo Yunji's disciple?

Xue.

Take this to buy some clothes and dry food

and leave Panhai Town now.

Don't be caught by that wicked woman again.

You know nothing.

The past is over.

How can the dead make trouble?

I'm more worried about the present.

Without her,

your master and Supervisor Sage

would have been married long ago.

If you have two sages

from Qinghua and Nanhua as masters,

your status must be much higher than it is now.

Why are you

telling me these?

Because I hate her too.

As soon as Chong Zi came back,

Qin Ke looked distraught again.

She just has a face

like the witch,

why can she enjoy everyone's favor?

Even you, her senior,

can't teach her a lesson?

You don't know

how much Sage Chonghua protects her.

Your master is preparing medicine for her, right?

I have some Heart-burning Powder.

Although its toxicity is minimal,

it can make people

feel pain for several hours

like thousands of worms burrowing into the heart.

The whole immortal sect knows that Sage Chonghua is partial to his disciple.

Your master is upright

and will definitely not be swayed by the witch.

Didn't I tell you

not to come closer?

(Thinking about it now,)

(Master is indeed behaving strangely today.)

(Is there something wrong with him?)

Take the medicine.

I have to bring the bowl back for my master.

It's so bitter. What kind of medicine is this?

It's just with some Heart-burning Powder.

That's enough

to make you suffer for hours.

Let me teach you a lesson,

so that you know

what it means to pay the piper.

Get out.

Get out!

(It seems that I can only ask for Zhenzhu's favor.)

Why are you so distraught

that you can't even walk?

Could it be that your master didn't see you

and made you uneasy?

Don't force yourself.

Let me help you.

If anything happens to you,

you can't attend your master's wedding.

Let me go.

I helped you out of kindness,

but you talked to me like this?

Well, you used to be lawless

under the protection of your master.

But after Sage Chonghua and Miss Zhuo get married,

do you think you can still stay on Zizhu Peak?

No one can drive me out of Zizhu Peak.

Let me go.

Let go.

You asked for this.

What are you doing?

Qin Ke, I...

Are you okay?

Qin Ke.

You retreated because of her.

And you got out in a hurry because of her again.

Why?

Just because she is Chong Zi?

You should be glad that I came here

and nothing happened to Chong Zi.

What if anything happened to her?

Do you want me to die with her?

I know that you are a princess in the Mortal World,

and you are inevitably arrogant and domineering.

But after experiencing so many things in these years,

you should be mature and sensible.

The icy aura in Chong Zi hasn't yet healed,

and you took advantage of her weakness

to deliberately provoke her.

Do you still deserve to be Nanhua's senior disciple?

Qin Ke.

You scolded me.

You went so far

because of her.

Or should I praise you?

Miaoyuan, you did let me down.

Let's go.

Ugly girl.

Ugly girl. Wake up.

It's me.

I'm not your ugly girl.

You want to see your master, right?

I just went to look for Sage Chonghua,

and I stood at the door for a long time before Miss Zhuo opened the door

and passed on the message for me.

I didn't even see him.

Forget it.

Don't tell Master about this.

It's better not to mess with him now.

Now that you are like this,

you still don't want to tell your master?

Do you know that

you are almost becoming a joke of the whole Nanhua?

The news that you fought Sima Miaoyuan

because of your master's marriage

has already spread.

What?

Everyone knows such a shameful thing?

But it was not for the marriage.

Master knew about it, but he didn't come to ask me.

Could it be that

their marriage is real?

You heard that too?

Yes.

However, it is difficult for others

to guess Sage Chonghua's mind.

Qinghua attaches great importance

to the marriage between Miss Zhuo and your master.

If Supervisor Sage is forced to agree

in order to take the overall situation into consideration,

it makes sense.

I don't usually see you talking.

Why are you talking so much now?

Just go.

Go.

Come on.

It is said that Miss Zhuo is beautiful and kind.

But I think she's quite sophisticated.

Since she came to Nanhua,

she has been pestering Sage Chonghua all day long,

so much that

he doesn't even come to visit you.

Does Master despise me?

So what?

Every master despises his disciples.

Look at me.

Among the many disciples of Sage Tianji,

I am the most inconspicuous one,

and he doesn't bother to talk to me.

Although I can't compare with Miss Zhuo

in the medicine circle of the immortal sect,

I definitely won't

make my master ashamed.

My relationship with my master is different from yours.

Since Miss Zhuo came,

you have become abnormal.

I haven't seen you smile for a long time.

Let me ask you.

Do you like Supervisor Sage?

No, I...

You don't have to pretend in front of me.

I found something was wrong with you

when we were in Tianshan.

I don't know what your master thinks.

But you pretty much had your emotions written all over your face.

It's okay for you to like him.

If you like him

and so does he,

you have nothing to fear.

It's just that

Miss Zhuo is in the middle of you two now.

Let me remind you.

Forced by the overall situation,

and after all, they have known each other for many years,

if they continue to live together like this,

something will happen.

You have to take actions.

You are right.

But I don't believe Master would lie to me.

I am going to ask him for clarification.

I will go with you

Master, don't move.

Master, I will comb your hair for the rest of my life,

okay?

Master.

Chong.

You are back.

Master.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand.

Master, promise me that

we will never be separated.

Master.

Master, what are you talking about?

Master, promise me.

Master.

- Master. - Master.

- What are you talking about? - Okay?

It's you.

I have long said that

you should not rush to practice the Mirror Heart Skill.

You really worry me being like this.

Here.

Take the medicine.

What happened just now?

I thought about things I shouldn't have thought about

out of negligence.

Is it about Chong Zi?

It has nothing to do with her.

I overestimated my willpower

and underestimated the toxicity of Heart Poison.

Don't worry.

You will recover after practicing for a while.

But you are Sage Chonghua.

Your body is not yours alone.

Even if it is for the common people,

you have to cherish yourself.

I don't care

who is in your heart

and why you got Heart Poison.

It's just that we have been gotten along for hundreds of years,

and I know your disposition best.

All living beings need your protection.

I know what you mean.

I have always

put the common people first.

Put the common people first...

Chong Zi, are you

still going?

Master doesn't even think of me.

Why should I go?

Since you

put the common people first,

you shouldn't get entangled in...

Chong is my disciple.

If I can't even protect her,

how can I protect the common people?

Do you really just treat her as a disciple?

Or is this just your excuse?

Luo Yinfan.

You know your attitude towards Chong Zi

better than anyone else, and so does she.

Even so,

even if I have her in my heart,

that's my business.

As long as she is here,

she has to be by my side.

It's getting late.

Go back to your room.

How can I leave at ease when you are like this?

Just because we cooperate well

doesn't necessarily mean

you have to be with me.

What do you mean?

I don't believe that

you wish to complete

the relationship between our two sects

with your lifelong happiness.

Are you saying that

our relationship

is just to maintain the relationship

between our two sects?

We have always been confidants,

and I have always treated you

as a friend from the bottom of my heart.

But I'm not good enough for you

as a husband.

Just a friend?

Yes.

I thought too much before.

It's good

to be friends.

A confidant is rare in life.

From now on,

just let me continue to be your friend,

your confidant,

and your backing.

And that's all

for the two of us.
