An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 40

Come here, hurry up.

Look there, the big bird is weird.

Let's go, come on. Let's have a look.

What is it?

- What is it? - Is it a bird?

I don't know.

Prince Ying, I'm here.

- Here, here. - We're here.

Please. We're here. Come here.

Here we are. Here. Help.

Please help. Here we are.

It's unbelievable.

Nan said no one would ever come here.

How did he find this place?

- I'm here. - Prince Ying.

We almost died because of you.

Look.

I've put this kind of insect on you which can contact with me.

Wherever the monster took you to, I will find you.

Good job.

Don't worry, everyone.

I have already had the solution to take you all out of here.

Yes.

It's useless merely saying so.

Nan is not silly at all.

It wouldn't be easy to save us out of here.

So as you said,

do you know something of him?

Like, what is he afraid of?

What about his weakness?

He always comes here at night.

And he left before the sun rises.

He asked us the same question every night.

Do we want to marry him?

Of course the answer is no.

No one would want to marry that monster.

Then he would drink a lot.

He sings when he is drinking.

Or even dances sometimes.

Then he cries along the dancing.

He said that he used not to be like this before.

And he said he lost himself.

And he thinks he was so beautiful.

And he often looks himself in the mirror.

You came here alone.

Are you planning to save people or to capture the monster?

If you want to get the monster,

a lot of things need to be prepared.

The most important thing now is to save you out of here.

When I came here, I've checked here.

There's cliff in front of the cave.

But there's a path in the back.

Just follow me.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Hurry up.

Follow up.

Come on.

Hurry.

This way. Come here.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Here, come on.

Don't slow down.

What's up?

I sprained my ankle. I can't walk.

I'm tired.

I'll carry you. Take the blade.

I can't run anymore.

Come here.

Don't waste time. Everyone hurry up.

- Hurry up. - Go, let's go!

Hurry up. Take my hands. Go!

If I kill him here, everything is over.

He will never have a chance to Tang or steal the Beads.

My father, step-mother and brother can be saved.

How's it? Your foot still hurts?

Carry me higher, I nearly fall down.

Follow them, don't slow down.

Why do you laugh?

If I say you crazy, but you're really calm.

If say you calm...

Well listen, do you know who I am?

You're just a prince.

Hurry up, or we'll be caught up.

You know I am the Prince, but you're riding on my back.

You're really crazy.

I'm not crazy.

But I know a lot of things.

What did you say?

What's going on?

Nan's here. We can't run away.

Put, put me down.

- What should we do? - I don't know.

What're you doing?

Now we can't escape at all,

find more people to come here to save us.

What?

Go.

- No. - Do it!

I was so nice to you all.

But you want to escape.

Whose idea?

Listen to me.

I said I didn't hit women,

but I didn't say I won't eat you.

Whose idea?

No one answered me?

Well I will eat you one by one.

Believe it or not?

No.

You want to scare us?

It is you.

You've just come here, then you want to take my girls away?

I will kill you today, definitely.

Why did you laugh?

You're so poor.

So many ladies.

No one wanted to marry you.

If they want to marry you, but you don't want any of them, right?

What are you talking about? I'll kill you.

Ask them, does anyone want to marry you?

Do you? Do you? And you?

No.

How did you know?

I can tell that you're troubled in love from your face.

I not only know that.

I also know how to get you out of trouble.

Come here.

Here, here, come here.

Sit, sit down.

Can you... really help me?

No eating?

No, I won't, I won't.

What's her name?

Her name is Lian.

I can give my heart to her.

You Suoluo people are so brutal.

You give her your love.

Why do you say the bloody heart?

But since her parents knew me that I'm not a human.

They didn't permit our marriage.

It's their faults.

Not all of you are bad.

There is good one, isn't it?

Yes. The bad guys are her parents.

So you can't give yourself up or do bad things to bad guys.

Then what should I do?

As I see, first...

Let the girls leave.

You free them.

They can tell others, then others will tell more people that you're not bad.

You are a good guy.

You didn't hurt us at all.

And bring us good food to take care of us.

So later when her parents know it and think highly of you,

then deal.

It makes sense.

Leave.

Go.

Yes, let's go.

See you later, thanks.

Now I realize that they don't know me at all.

You know me. You are the one for me.

So let's get married.

No, no, do you really want to marry Lian?

Then you tell me what can I do? What can I do?

Hurry, follow me.

It's you again.

Help me.

What are you doing? Don't kill him.

Why can't I?

He did so many bad things.

I will kill him for people's well-being.

But he didn't hurt anyone.

But... he is a monster.

Don't pretend to be nice.

I am not human, nor monster.

It's better if I die.

He's too sad so he did all of it.

What?

I'm human. I'm not a monster.

Brother.

Ying.

Who are they?

They are my friends.

I heard that you went out of the Palace these days.

Is there anything or anyone interesting that you encountered?

I didn't find anything or anyone... so interesting.

But I met someone weird and crafty.

Then I learned a lot from them.

Sure it is. Outside is not as good as the Palace.

It's out of order there.

But you're indeed nice and pure.

When making friends or meddling with others, you must be more careful.

Thanks for your lesson. I'll keep it in my mind.

Princes.

The King summons you.

Got it.

Ok.

I'm leaving now.

He is the Prince Heng.

Listen to me.

You take my friends to my place to have a good rest.

Yes.

You two wait for me at my palace. Don't mess around.

Don't cause any troubles.

Especially you.

What's wrong with me?

This way please.

Wait, wait a sec.

Who, who is that man?

It seems to be his brother.

His brother?

They don't look like each other.

I think so.

But I think...

I know the smell of his brother.

It's true.

Listen, I may have met his brother before.

You don't trust me, do you?

I did see him once.

You can trust my nose. It works well.

I did meet him before.

Greetings, Father and Mother.

My sons, I was very busy recently.

I had no chance to take care of you, or to prompt your studies.

Tell me about what you have achieved recently?

My father.

I was learning tonality.

Playing the zither and the bamboo flute.

I want to make the performance at your birthday ceremony.

My good boy.

And you, Ying?

Dear father.

I was practice horse-riding and arrow-shooting.

Although your birthday ceremony was coming,

I was not ready.

You can be healthier and stronger.

I was very happy about it.

In term of my birthday present,

I have a question for you to think about.

- As your order. - As your order.

My queen.

Take them.

These are the flower seeds from overseas.

You take them to your place.

Take care of them. Plant and irrigate them.

I want to see who can foster the most beautiful flower.

Well.

You can leave.

Remember, plant them in the soil and water them.

Treat them carefully.

Yes. Now we leave.

Ying. What are you thinking about?

Leave, it's not good to stay here for long.

Brother, I'm just curious.

Why is the top level of Imperial Library locked all the time?

And why is it guarded by soldiers?

Why do you want to know? It's none of your business.

I heard something that it stores many books about magic.

Is it true or not?

Voice down.

Father forbid magic in Suoluo.

This place stores the books for most powerful black magic.

It's not a lie.

Ying, you can be curious about it.

But you'd never mention it again to anyone.

Or you'll be punished by father.

Do you remember what happened to me?

I know.

It's just to plant the flower.

No big deal actually.

You don't know... that father only has two sons, Ying and me.

When we were kids,

every one liked to compare us.

Ying was more talented in fighting than me.

That I can't win him in fighting is nothing.

If I lose in planting flowers,

I'll be laughed by all.

It's no problem.

I can help you.

What are you doing?

Dare you to use the magic?

It's the offense to the King.

It's alright that I can't make the flower bloom.

But I can't lie to others.

It's just a flower.

I won't let you lose to Prince Ying.

What are you doing?

My father gave me and my brother a seed, and asked us to plant flowers.

See which is the more beautiful.

Nan.

I've checked it.

My father put all the magic books at the Imperial Library.

If you want to get rid of the curse on you,

you have to know the transfiguration spell.

Prince, please help me.

I'd never forget what you've done for me.

I've suffered so many losses.

Now I've learned to kill people by other's hand.

I can't kill you by myself.

I can boil your father's seed.

You'll be punished severely.

My father forbids any magic in Suoluo.

How smart my father is.

Look at you,

you must misuse the magic and end up in this.

No, Prince. I know nothing about the magic.

I was collecting herbs on the mountain.

And I saw two men were practicing magic.

And I went to see it.

It's strange.

I remember that King says no magic is permitted in the Suoluo.

What about it?

Look at me.

Who are you? Why do you peep us?

Please forgive me, please.

I am just a herb collector. I just came here to get the herbs.

I was attracted by your magic.

Sir, please don't get angry.

So you saw us practicing magic?

No, no, no. I saw nothing at all.

But you just said...

attracted by our magic.

So did you see it or not?

Sir, I, I just came here...

You know that no magic is allowed in Suoluo.

Or you will be killed.

Sir.

I just happened to be here.

If I see something, there's no one I can tell to.

Sir, I picked a glossy ganoderma this morning.

It's good for your health.

He has double faces.

Dare he lie to me.

I will make you suffer.

Stop it.

This kind of black magic can't be used casually.

Don't cause any troubles. Let's go.

So did you see clearly what he and the man taking him away look like?

I just remembered the one who spelled me.

When I was cursed,

I felt great pain in my body. I didn't see their faces.

But you said you didn't turn in to the deer when you woke up.

Yes, I didn't turn into the deer at that time.

But if I know I will turn into a deer, I hope to transform into it earlier.

Bugu.

Bugu. Bugu.

You came to me so late at night.

My mom and dad will see us.

Lian, I almost died today.

But I survived, luckily.

So I want to see you as soon as possible.

You want to see me?

Why didn't you tell my parents that you want to marry me?

I...

Lian.

It's too late. Who are you talking to?

Leave now.

Lian, I won't leave.

I'll tell them about our marriage.

- I won't leave. - Answer me.

Just leave.

Dad.

- What are you doing? - Just go.

- You bastard. - Dad.

How dare you come to our home to seduce my daughter?

I didn't do it.

Get out of here.

- Mom. -What? You don't leave?

Leave.

- We really love each other. - Dad.

I want to marry her.

- You get out of here. - Don't you leave? -Dad.

Don't you?

- Don't beat him. - Don't you leave? Don't you?

Monster.

Monster.

Why?

Why?

So the magic master spelled the transfiguration curse on me,

and the deer and I were integrated.

Since then when I was in danger or became extremely emotional,

I would turn into a deer.

Then every time I went for Lian,

her parents would beat me away.

I hate those people.

They didn't know the truth at all.

So I was thinking that now I was a deer,

I can't marry her.

I'd better to live an indulgent life.

So when I saw a pretty woman,

I took her away.

I saw another one,

I took her away.

Till now,

no one wants to marry me.

Well. Don't be so upset.

You are a real man at all.

So emotional like a little girl. She's stronger than you.

And I have promised you to help you to recover,

and to break the curse.

I'll do it for you.

You should be stronger.

Prince, if you can help me break the curse,

I'll do whatever you want me to do.

Fine, stand up.

When you recover,

I'll go with you to visit Lian's parents and propose.

If you want to thank me,

just buy us a drink.

I will. I will.

This guy... is very kind now.

But it is really weird.

My father doesn't allow any magic in Suoluo.

All magic books are stored in the Imperial Library.

And the books of black magic are guarded.

So how does that man learn the magic and the transfiguration curse?

And who are they?

If he is still in Suoluo, would he hurt others?

Heng, the blossom.

Finally.

You didn't help me?

I did nothing.

Show it to the King.

He'd be happy about it.

Good.

You two wait me here.

I'll go to the Library to find the solution to the curse.

I come with you.

I... I'll go, too.

No.

Do you think anyone can go to the Library?

And the transfiguration is the black magic.

It must be in the top floor.

If everything goes well tonight, then we're lucky.

If any mistake is made, we'll be dead.

What should we do?

I'm the prince.

My father will not kill me.

But you're different.

You will be beheaded.

Then you stay, I come with you.

What about this?

We can help each other.

No. Do as I said.

Do as I said.

It seem that I am your slave.

You're the master.

Isn't it true?

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Do you "haji" him?

I don't understand.

Our language, haji, means you like or love him.

You... deserved to be cheated.

You know nothing.

Pretending.

Let's go.

You look good in black.

Let's have a look.

Don't worry.

Yes.

Come here.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Don't touch. Follow me.

There're so many books, where can we start?

You guard the door. I'll find the book.

Now only he and I are here.

It is a chance to kill him now.

The best chance ever.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Guard the door. Don't move around.

I will kill you this time.

Why do you come here?

You tied ropes on your arms.

I miss home, so I tied them. Tradition.

You usually seem lunatic.

Unexpectedly you are homesick now.

Guard the door.

If someone comes here, we'll be killed.

Okay.

You're so lucky.

You can escape every time.

This time you'll be dead.

You have no chances to survive.

I'll make it this time.

What's wrong with you? Stand up.

What happened?

Nothing.

You took a dagger?

No, no.

To defend myself.

Look at you.

I didn't allow you to follow me up here.

You insisted.

Just stand here.

Look out for me.

My God.

I did really want to kill him.

But it seem not appropriate to kill him today.

If I keep doing it against the God's will,

perhaps I'll be killed in the end.

I hear something in there.

Someone is coming. Have you found it?

Not yet.

Are you sure about it?

This place is always locked.

There's nothing in it.

Let's go. Perhaps it's cat or something else.

- Go. - Let's go.

Miss.

What's wrong?

Why are you crying?

Is there any problem for you?

If something happened to you, tell me about it.

After I save Nan, I can help you later.

You're a nice man, Prince.

Don't cry, come on.

Well, you haven't told me your name.

It's better for you to know nothing.

Why?

Let's find the curse now.

Or someone will come here later.

Come here.

He left.

Who is that guy?

How can he come into the Library as he wants?

I don't know, either.

He left so quickly, I can't see his face.

It's the curse.

Nan.

How's it going? Did you find it?

Is it the curse?

Yes, it is. Good.

Thank you. Thanks.

You don't have to.

Well, I'll just take it.

But I did something for you.

Come here.

Have a look.

It hasn't grown into flower as we left.

But it does now.

I have my way.

The seed is ugly and wizened.

I tried my way, then we have this.

It looks beautiful.

You didn't waste your time when you're a monster.

You can make the dead seed I boiled into blossom.

I have more powerful magic.

If I point at you,

your nose will become smaller,

you'll be prettier, have a try?

No.

You can cast the spell a flower, but not on a human.

I think you still want to be a monster.

Give me the curse book.

Sorry, I'm too happy.

Thanks a lot.

I'll prepare it. See you.

No need to change anything.

You are beautiful enough.

Someone is practicing black magic in the palace.

Stop it.

I'm okay. Go to catch Nan.

Dear King.

There's a deer monster running out of Prince Ying's palace.

What are you waiting for?

Kill this monster right away.

Don't hurt him.

Give me the knife.

Who's that?

Who took this monster into the Palace?

I did it.

I took him into the Palace.

Ying, how dare you do it?

You let this monster mess around in the Palace.

What else did you do? Tell me.

Please let me explain.

This man is named Nan.

He turns into the deer because he's in the transfiguration curse.

I took him here to...

to get the transfiguration spell book from the Library, so as to save him.

But I didn't expect it ended up like this.

Ying.

Did you know it is the black magic?

It is the magic that is not allowed in Suoluo.

And the top floor of the Library is the forbidden place.

How can you sneak in?

I know I was wrong.

But father...

You once said to me and brother,

we should be kind to our people.

Now our people is tortured by the magic out of nowhere.

How can I turn a blind eye to it?

♫ Tired off and lights out, it's about to dawn. ♫

♫ I never speak out my love sickness. ♫

♫ In my dream, we are falling into sweet love. ♫

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

♫ but the passion fades away with time. ♫

♫ I'm stubborn and you're reluctant. ♫

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

♫ We can't be reconciled to the past. ♫

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

♫ pursuing the traces left by you. ♫

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫

♫ I think we live a worthwhile life. ♫

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫
