(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 2)

(Tongluo Village)

You're back from the market?

Aunt!

Well...

Aunt.

Aunt!

Take a seat.

Please sit down.

Last night,

Fu

kidnapped a woman back here.

Fu had caused trouble!

Last night,

he kidnapped a woman back here!

This is bad!

Did you say Fu caught several birds?

I said.

Fu had caused trouble!

Fu sure is sensible.

Well...

Aunt,

I want you to use some money.

Use some money

to pay the authority to close the case!

Yes, it's time to discuss his marriage now.

Yes.

It's time.

Did you say you found a match for Fu?

Yes.

Yes, that's what I said.

I found a match for Fu.

Wait here.

These are

the betrothal presents I prepared for Fu.

Then,

let me help you give them to the girl.

Madam Zhou,

which family's daughter were you talking about?

Does she look pretty?

Yes.

She looks very pretty.

She's in the woodshed.

She's

in the woodshed.

I'll take you there.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

I had yet to unlock my mind's eye,

so I can't use any spiritual power.

Now, I'm poisoned with snake venom.

I can't even use the ambient spiritual power.

This venom is pretty strong.

I'm hungry.

Why is that doofus

not delivering food to me?

I'm hungry, doofus!

Is this doofus

really a fool, or is he pretending to be one?

I won't let you go.

I'm sure he's not a fool.

She's right inside.

Yes.

Here's a stool.

She's a nice girl.

Miss,

why are you in the woodshed?

I was kidnapped!

No,

she said

she wants to give you a surprise.

Why is this girl wearing

so many bangles?

Now that you've met her,

you should go back and get some rest first.

Tonight, you can attend the wedding reception.

Let's go.

All right.

Come on.

She's a nice girl.

We'll have the wedding reception.

Come with me.

Fu's wedding reception?

Yes, Fu's wedding reception.

Stop staring. You'll get to see her tonight.

Be careful.

Watch where you're going.

Who on earth are you?

Who am I?

I'm.

Madam Xiao's niece

and your elder.

I don't know why

that doofus kidnapped you here.

But I'll give you a piece of advice.

Be good

and don't cause any trouble.

Just complete this wedding ceremony.

Or else,

I'll make you suffer.

Understand?

So you're taking advantage

of the old madam's poor vision and hearing

and her grandson

who's a simpleton and doesn't speak much,

you're planning to use me

to cheat her out of money, right?

I see, the doofus kidnapped

a smart girl.

I don't care

where you go after this.

But no matter what,

you must complete

the wedding ceremony

with that doofus tonight.

Wedding ceremony?

You're still his relative in any case.

Aren't you going to match our dates of birth?

Aren't you afraid I'll bring ill fate upon him?

I don't care about that.

You'll have to go through the wedding with him.

All I care about

is getting

these betrothal gifts.

Miss,

the fool

may have kidnapped you here.

But I'm aware

of what you're trying at here.

So behave, and I'll see you tonight.

Didn't you say

you know

what I'm trying to do?

Why couldn't you predict that I'd kick you?

I...

Fine!

You're going to get it soon.

She's pretty strong.

Just you wait!

This is great.

That's right.

(Tongluo Village) Fu is finally getting married.

This is so unexpected.

I didn't see that coming.

The food is here!

It's the last dish for tonight!

Please help yourself!

Aunt,

today

is your grandson's wedding day.

All right. Eat up.

Fu, you're back.

Your bride has waited all day for you.

All the people in the neighborhood

are here.

Look.

Today

is your wedding day.

Everyone, may I have your attention, please?

Let us all wish

the newlyweds

to live in bliss day after day.

(To live in bliss day after day.)

(This wedding)

(is)

(your funeral.)

Get lost!

Get lost.

What...

Fu!

Why

is he acting up

at this time?

Why is he causing trouble

on his wedding day?

Fu.

Fu.

If your wife is nice,

it'll be good for you too.

You will no longer be lonely after this.

Fu, go inside now.

Go.

That's right.

Go now.

Go.

Just go.

She's waiting for you.

-Just go. -She's waiting.

Fu,

go.

Go.

I'm hungry. I want food.

Baozi?

Did you spend the whole day out there

just to buy baozi?

I thought you wanted it.

How did you know

baozi is my favorite?

Didn't you beat me up

in the forest that day,

so you could make money

to buy baozi?

(So he's the snake spirit.)

(I can't believe he saved me from the trip.)

So you're the snake spirit.

Let me go.

I knew

you were not a fool

because you don't look like one.

Today, I'll do justice for Heaven

and capture you.

And do all Taoist and cultivators

as disgusting as you?

You better

don't bring cultivators into this.

Tell me.

Why did you pretend to be a fool?

Did you do it to harm others?

How dare you glare at me.

I'm going to tear off

your human vessel

and see your spirit mark.

What's the matter?

Are you going to let me go or not?

I am not.

(I can't believe)

(this guy)

(could actually break free from me.)

(Could it be)

(that he's more powerful than me?)

I thought I tied you up.

Tied me up?

With that rope?

What's with that look?

How dare you look at me with contempt.

Do you admit defeat?

I have no intention of competing with you.

You did have the intention

when you retaliated against me.

So, will you behave now?

It would've been better if you had behaved earlier.

Forget it.

I'm not out here to capture spirits anyway.

You may have pulled a trick on me.

But like I always say.

I have nothing against you.

I'll spare your life

if you hand over the Flame Orb.

I'll give the Flame Orb

to you tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I want it now.

I don't have it with me.

Where is it?

Tell me!

I forgot I was straggling you.

So tell me.

It's in the barrier at the back of the mountain.

You set up a lot of plots before this.

Why did you give up so easily

and tell me where the Flame Orb is?

Why?

Because I can't beat you.

You're pretty honest.

I just want to make peace.

After you take the Flame Orb,

you should leave quickly.

Why do you want me to leave in a hurry?

Are you going

to make trouble in the village after I leave?

I stayed here

because I wanted to repay Madam Xiao's kindness.

Repay her kindness?

The last time I heard a snake spirit repay the kindness

was the White Snake, Bai Suzhen.

Are you that kind?

I can't do anything

if you don't believe me.

Forget it.

I'm warning you.

I have a foul temper.

If you dare to pull any tricks,

I'll make snake stew out of you.

I'll be sleeping on this bed.

You can sleep on the floor.

I guess he'll only behave after some beating.

(Tongluo Village)

Get on.

I thought you dislike me.

Are you that nice to lend a hand?

What a weird man.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I've never had a good night's sleep

after you brought me here.

Tell me.

Did you use some kind of spirit magic?

Ridiculous.

You're pretty good

at finding a place to hide it.

There's even a barrier.

Are you not feeling well?

No.

Go in.

But there's a barrier here.

Can't you break it?

Do you know how to lay a formation

with your blood?

You set up the barrier.

So you can just break it.

You injured me.

So I have no spiritual power left.

I can't break it for now.

We took so much time to get here,

but you don't have spiritual power either.

Either?

What are you doing?

Did you try to enter my mind's eye?

You have yet to unlock your mind's eye.

You don't have any spiritual power at all.

You're not a Taoist at all.

Even my mind's eye is still locked,

I can beat you with martial arts skills alone.

(She's useless.)

What kind of expression is that?

(Why do I feel)

(he was hoping)

(that I could break this seal?)

(Something is fishy about him.)

(I must go to)

(Madam Xiao later)

(and ask her about this snake spirit.)

You're bringing them in after drying them only for a while?

Yes.

Grandma.

Yes?

Grandma, what are you making?

I'm making shoes for you.

Shoes?

Grandma,

you don't have to make them for me.

My shoes

were specially made for fairies in Chenxing Mountain.

They won't spoil.

So you don't have to make me one.

Only the elders

of the family can make good shoes.

Try it.

It looks good on you.

Grandma,

I mean

you don't have to make these.

My shoes won't get spoiled.

I'll add more layers.

So your feet will feel warm.

No, Grandma.

You don't have to make these.

My shoes won't get spoiled.

Stop making them, Grandma.

Grandma,

it's time for your herbal concoction.

You're such a good boy.

Grandma,

drink slowly.

Don't try

to do anything funny to Grandma.

You're pretty nice to her.

That's because she's kind to me.

Where's her real grandson?

He's already dead.

If she knows about this,

she will be very sad.

All right.

Since

you're devoted to her,

I won't tell anyone

about your identity

after I get the Flame Orb.

When can you

break the barrier?

Soon.

Soon?

Soon?

All right.

(Tongluo Village)

This darned snake spirit.

He left so early in the morning.

Doesn't that mean I have to do all the work here?

(Madam Zhou's husband)

Why

is it getting harder

to trick that old woman?

I thought it was some treasure.

It turns out to be a pair of lousy shoes.

It doesn't even fit me.

Useless things!

Lousy shoes.

Dear, how about this?

Why don't we

grab those vegetables back home?

You're right.

It'll be a waste not to grab anything.

Let's go.

Come on.

What kind of hairstyle is that?

It looks pretty unusual.

What's

with this shoe?

What do you mean?

Can't you tell?

I've been taking

this old woman's things all my life.

It's not someone like you...

That's right.

who was picked up elsewhere

to meddle in this.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Stop right there!

What?

Do you want to hit me again?

Are you going to hit me again?

Dear!

You...

You hit me!

You hit her?

You're asking for this!

That jinx from Chenxing Mountain is to blame.

She actually cracked my Flame Orb,

so I had to waste my time here for days.

I don't even know

when I can fix

this orb.

Who's there?

You're the young man

with that jinx.

What do you want?

Snake spirits have Yin energy.

It fears fire the most.

If you force yourself to repair the Flame Orb,

it would exhaust your energy.

Just give up.

It's none of your business.

She's still looking for you.

I thought you were together.

I stay in Tongluo Village in seclusion

because I have secrets to hide.

And she...

She's currently blackmailing me.

This woman

is so hateful.

This...

This is

an ancient formation.

Who are you?

This formation

can help you recover from burns.

Why are you helping me?

I'm not only helping you.

I set up this formation

because I want to check your spiritual power

and see if it can be of help to me.

This formation

is indeed powerful.

Your spiritual power is not bad.

Since you've helped me,

I will repay the favor.

Is there anything you want me to do for you?

There is a cave

at the other end of the lake.

Do you mean the barrier?

To repair my Flame Orb,

I've been searching for geothermal sources.

I was there before.

Can you break the barrier?

That seal is really powerful.

My spiritual power

may only create a small opening

and hold it

for one hour at most.

I see.

In a few days,

I'll come back to you for help.

Thank you for helping me.

Now both Taoists and spirits share the same hatred

that can't be reconciled.

You came

to the Taoist's boundary alone

in search of a treasure

that could harm you.

Why do you have to do it?

I did it to repay a kindness.

Repay a kindness?

I was saved

by a female Taoist.

Now, she suffers from a cold disease.

I stole the Flame Orb

to save her.

Taoists can't be trusted,

neither do they deserve to be rescued.

This young man

seems to have

a deep hatred

for the Taoists.

Not only do I dare hit you,

but I also dare hit him.

Return the betrothal gifts

you swindled from Madam Xiao!

Here.

Where's the rest?

That's it.

There's none left.

It's true. That's all.

Granddaughter-in-law,

do we have visitors?

No, Grandma!

I was beating some dogs.

The dogs were trying to steal the chickens.

Dogs?

(I only have one hour)

(to bring Yanhui through the seal)

(and retrieve the dragon bone.)

(And I can't let her run into the snake spirit.)

Madam Zhou,

your face is all swollen.

Look at me.

A young girl

beat an old woman like me in such a state.

Look at this.

Listen.

Fu's wife

is absolutely a bully!

A bully, I tell you.

Stop right there!

Their faces are all swollen.

That must have hurt.

I, Yanhui,

do live up to my name as a bully.

I'm warning all of you!

I'll be backing this family up

from now on.

Anyone dares bully Madam Xiao

and that doofus,

I'll definitely show you

what a true bully is!

All right, I got it.

Get lost!

All right.

Stop looking.

Don't just stand there.

Never mind you were bullied by me.

Why did you let them bully you?

You are quite clever when you're with me.

Now, you do look like a fool standing there.

It's really annoying.

Come inside.

Don't let Madam Xiao worry.

(Tongluo Village)

Where did he go

in the middle of the night?

I'm taking a bath.

Please close the window.

I didn't see anything.

You...

The window is broken.

I can't shut it.

You can continue with your bath. It's all right.

I can have a talk with you.

But

why are you

taking your bath in the yard?

This black basin

was dried in the sun during the day,

and the water from the well is also hot.

So I don't need to burn any firewood to warm it.

You're pretty frugal

as a spirit.

Then,

where did you get

those scars on your body?

It's not important.

What matters is

the water is getting cold.

You can continue with your bath.

Please leave.

All right.

You can't just

be a frugal spirit.

Even if you don't take advantage of others,

you can't let others

take advantage of your family.

Just like Madam Zhou,

you have to teach her a lesson.

Humans

can be very stuck up.

If you don't teach her a lesson,

Grandma will have to suffer

with you.

I know

things will be fine when I'm here.

I can still help you.

After I leave,

you can only rely on yourself.

Where did he go?

How did you get changed so fast?

I'm so sleepy.

(There'll be a full moon soon.)

(I'm running out of time.)

This chicken will be a headache

if I don't get rid of it soon.

That smells so good.

What's that?

Good morning, Grandma.

Have you taken your breakfast?

What are we having?

Today, we're having

a chicken!

You...

Did...

Did you...

Did you...

Did you slaughter the chicken?

Then Fu will have no eggs to eat.

Grandma, that's a male chicken.

No.

Fu will have no more eggs after this.

Fu can't eat eggs anymore.

Did he eat any before?

Grandma,

don't worry.

Fu can't eat eggs anymore.

Grandma,

how about Fu eat the chicken

and I'll drink the soup?

Enough!

Fu.

Fu.

Grandma.

There are no eggs for you anymore.

It's gone.

What's wrong?

There won't be any eggs anymore.

Grandma,

it's all right.

It's all gone.

Don't be sad.

Grandma, don't worry.

I'll go and catch

a hen for you.

Grandma, don't worry.

Granddaughter-in-law!

Grandma.

Bring her home.

Don't fight.

You must not fight.

All right, Grandma.

I promise you

that I'll bring her back.

Bring her back.

Go now.

Come home early.

It's the full moon tonight.

You'll be sick again.

What?

Don't you trust that I can catch one hen?

Grandma raised

that chicken for many years.

Even she doesn't know

if that's a male or female.

She only knows chicken lays eggs

and eggs can hatch into chickens.

Villagers in Tongluo Village are poor.

They're often reluctant to eat the chicken they raise.

That's why Grandma cares a lot about that chicken.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Let's go back.

I can't.

I have to catch

a chicken for Grandma.

(This place)

(is not far from where the snake spirit appeared.)

(I hope she doesn't run into him.)

(It'll spell trouble if they run into each other.)

Why are you following me?

Hunting for chicken.

The chances

of finding one will be higher if we split up.

You can go that way.

Why is he

so clingy today?

That's a lot of chickens.

Flame Orb?

You again?

Again?

I've been avoiding you for many days.

Why must you

go to extremes?

Don't tell me

you're the snake spirit.

If you're the snake spirit,

then who is the one

I married?

Who cares who he is?

Wait for a moment!

Let me get this straight.

Let me straighten this out.

He's a snake spirit.

Who's the snake spirit?

The bounty clearly states

that a snake spirit stole the Flame Orb.

If he has the Flame Orb,

that means he's the snake spirit.

Then who is that doofus?

Then my 88 gold taels...

(What's she doing?)

Why did that doofus take me back

to the village?

(Could it be)

(some powerful Taoist magic?)

What's going on

with both of them?

Who's the snake spirit?

My Flame Orb!

My 88 gold taels!

That does it!

Since you decided

to go to extremes,

it's a fight to the death!

Bring it on!

So it's you.

Both of you actually created a distraction.

Previously, you said you wanted to help me

so that I would let down my guard

and she could take my Flame Orb!

So you were the one in the forest that day.

Tell me. Who on earth are you?

I have no time to explain.

You're not going anywhere!

(Sure enough, they ran into each other.)

(How should I calm)

(these two down?)

I can repair the broken Flame Orb.

Clever talk, but I'm not going to believe you.

Trust me.

I'll cut off your tongue now!

I agree with this idea.

That woman who's suffering from the cold disease

is waiting for you to rescue her.

You stole the Flame Orb to save someone's life?

How should we repair it?

I need to retrieve my belonging

that is sealed in the back of the mountain.

All right. We can go and get it now.

Not today.

We must wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow again?

If

you trick me again tomorrow,

I'll kill you.

I agree with that idea too.

But can you

release me today?

Both of you

are not going anywhere

before the Flame Orb is repaired.

This is funny.

It's your turn to be locked in the woodshed.

So tell me, who are you?

My name is Tianyao.

Tianyao?

(There's some kind of mind power to a spirit's name.)

(It'll be with the spirit)

(ever since the spirit is born.)

(There will be a reaction when the name is called.)

(But why is my heart)

(reacting to it too?)

Keep going.

I'm the Millennium Spirit Dragon.

I can't believe this little spirit calls himself a dragon.

Have you ever seen a dragon before?

That's a legendary creature.

Something you can find on an emperor's robe.

It roams around the world,

and its existence is very mysterious.

It won't be trapped in such a remote village

by this kind of magic

in these clothes.

I'm telling the truth.

Where are your dragon horns and scales?

Well, at least,

you can show me your claws.

They say

a five-clawed dragon is the rarest.

How many do you have?

What's wrong?

What...

Well...

If you have something to say, just say it.

Stay away from me.

Go away.

Little Liar,

what's the matter with you?

Pervert! Rascal!

What are you doing?

Stay away from me.

Don't come any closer.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Stay.

Stay.

Please stay by my side.

He...

He's pretending to be pitiful again.
