[Tiger and Crane]

[Episode 30: Camellia Formation Night Attack]

How are you?

Much better.

The gods are really toying with human fates.

I didn't expect

that the glory of my Zhao family

would be destroyed by you.

The sorcerer actually has a bad fate

with a demon.

He's not a demon.

He saved many lives.

Don't waste your time talking to him.

If he understands what we're saying,

he wouldn't be such a jerk.

Forget it.

I'll teach you Yan Ling Spike.

Really?

Let me ask you.

What is the starting attack and defense

of the Zhao Spear?

For the basics of Zhao family's spear technique,

there are four moves each for attack and defense.

For attack, there are stab, point, sweep, pick.

For defense, there are and grid, dial, frame, block.

Are you done?

Yes.

That's all?

Is there anything else?

Isn't

what you just said useless?

Isn't every family's spear technique

stab, point, sweep, pick,

and grid, dial, frame, block?

You can do those with the Zhang Spear.

You can do those with the Li Spear too.

Even the governor's guards

and the prison guards beneath the village officials

can use these moves.

Ridiculous.

How ridiculous.

Tell me.

With these meager moves,

could the Zhao family

have become a prestigious sect?

I've had enough of you.

Teach me right away if you are willing.

Don't act cool

before you teach me.

Hu Zi.

Don't be rude.

You still understand that you should show respect to your seniors.

Little punk.

If this place weren't small,

I would have kicked you out long ago.

By teaching you the secret technique of my family

and not turning you deaf,

I'm already being very kind to you.

Thank you so much.

I don't want to

hear a word from you right now.

You guys talk.

Ancestor.

What you said was right.

Sorry for my ignorance.

I still don't know

what the unique move that belongs to Zhao Sect

is.

You said

that when you were fighting Black Wind,

you suddenly realized Yan Ling Shan.

What's the true essence of Yan Ling Shan?

Firstly, your Chi has to be channeled to your lower body,

bend forward,

and centering on the left hip...

Hold on.

I'm not asking about the mental method.

I'm asking you

what the true essence

of the way you defeated Black Wind

with.

Yan Ling Shan was.

It was unexpected.

At that time, Black Wind and I

had already been fighting for several rounds.

It was used to

the distance it had with the spear.

So it expected

that when I'd attack with my spear,

it won't be hit.

Later,

I suddenly changed my steps

and changed the distance

between the spear and its body.

That was why it was caught off guard

and hit by me

and finally killed.

That's right.

That's sort of the logic.

The fundamental of spear technique

is in change.

Change?

A spear

can be long

or short,

hard

or soft.

You can attack directly

or defend horizontally.

There's no other weapon

that can do this.

And the key point in change

is in transferring.

Transfer your spirit essence in your body

to the spear

so that your primordial spirit

can become one with the vessel.

In this way,

it can be shaped into countless ways.

Only by realizing this

can you forget all the rules

and be flexible.

Spirit essence?

But I always thought

that one's spear technique is developed through physical techniques.

That's ridiculous.

Every human has their spirit essence.

Those sorcerers

practice magic with their spirit essences.

If those who use spears like us

only rely on brute force,

wouldn't we be put in a disadvantage?

Only by using the power of the spirit essence

and transferring it to the spear

such that it becomes your third arm

can you wield it with natural control.

Try it.

But I've never used my spirit essence...

Xintong.

You can try to channel your Chi to below your navel,

feel the spirit essence in your body

and the cold Chi flow outside,

and then combine them.

Nourish yin with yang, and yang with yin,

and then finally release it with real Chi.

This is the Feel, Induct, Dissolve, Release cultivation method

in the practice of magic.

Feel, Induct, Dissolve, Release?

It sounds familiar.

Did the Qi family teach you that?

I realized it myself.

Be honest.

Eldest Master taught me that.

That Zi Jin Wolf Brush?

I didn't expect

that Qi Wuji's brush has become an essence too.

What kind of world is this?

See?

If the spear has the power of the spirit essence,

the power it can generate

will be increased by multiple folds.

No matter how strong your opponent is,

they won't be a match for you.

Really?

Of course.

Back then,

Black Wind naively

provoked me.

So I used this stab

in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't even able to

make a single move.

It's not even a big deal. Why is he bragging again?

Ancestor.

But if the spear body

spins around

like yours did just now?

How stupid.

Of course you'll use your spirit essence.

The route that spirit essence flows along in human body

is like a river

with countless forks.

Since the essence flows like water,

it can morph into

countless forms.

It can be a wave,

a waterfall,

or a whirlpool.

If you learn to control it,

it can spin

like a whirlpool

and provide the momentum for the spear to rotate on its own.

Remember,

a rigid person can easily break.

Only the malleable can survive.

I didn't expect the spirit essence

to be so magical.

Of course.

You learned magic from a brush.

It's normal that you don't know this.

Come on.

Let's start the training.

Today, I've been thinking about

how our ancestors

survived,

where

they got their willpower,

and the price they paid

to survive in such a prison-like

environment.

Actually, I think.

Dianfeng Valley

wasn't always this deserted.

Why?

Look around.

There are withered trees,

reefs and rocks everywhere.

It seems to have been destroyed in an instant.

Before it was the present Dianfeng Valley,

it must have been

a lush forest.

Do you mean

that 500 years ago,

this place wasn't like this,

and that it was after that battle

that it became

like this?

That's right.

Back then, when our ancestors killed the Demon Emperor,

the blood of the Demon Emperor

turned into the flaming Legendary Sea and destroyed everything.

Dianfeng Valley

should have started to

deteriorate into this since then.

The tragedy back then

is unimaginable.

It's indeed very strange now.

It's as hot as a stove during the day.

And as cold as a fridge at night.

I wonder if Xintong and Hu Zi

can tolerate this.

Your Majesty.

You led the people of Qianyu State here.

There must be no mistake.

It's so dark outside.

It won't be good

if they fell into quicksand.

What about the two of them?

Xiao Yunzi is right.

Yuqian.

Take a good rest here

and recharge your energy.

Mo Guzi and I

will check the road ahead first.

In the current situation,

you are also equally in danger.

We can't delay it. Let's go together.

Let's go together then.

Your foundation is too weak.

You can control your spirit essence,

but to reach

the state of becoming one with the spear,

the most crucial move is still missing.

Watch carefully.

See?

This is the magical use of the spirit essence.

Like wind and water,

it creates form with its formlessness.

This is very similar to the quicksand land

in Dianfeng Valley.

Yes.

You have sharp eyes.

The quicksand land seems to contain

the energy that circulates

the whole mountain.

Like what I said,

we're on the same boat.

It's not that I don't want to teach you,

but if you want to have full control

over your spiritual essence,

you must practice

for at least ten or so days.

Take your time.

Feel, Induct, Dissolve, Release.

Like wind and water,

it creates form with its formlessness.

A rigid person can easily break, but the malleable can survive.

You need to control the intensity

of your spiritual essence.

Otherwise, the water will turn into a flood

and destroy the dam.

No matter how good the spear is,

it can't stand such torment.

I understand.

All right.

You can practice with your spear now.

Yes.

What is this?

It's a White Demon.

It can crawl into the ground.

Its weakness is its ears.

There are too many of them.

We can't defeat them by force.

What should we do then?

Why don't we retreat?

Let's go another route.

It's okay.

As long as we don't make a sound,

they won't wake up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Form is like this.

But if you want to have both form and spirit,

with your average talent,

you have to practice for ten or so years.

But with your current ability,

breaking a stone wall

won't be hard.

Fine.

You've made it.

Take your lover with you.

Thank you for your teaching.

I will never forget it.

Now I finally understand

that the reason

I still have a trace of primordial spirit alive

is to meet my descendant

after 500 years.

Fine.

I'm tired of staying

in this worn-out cave anyway.

You

should be the one to pass down the Zhao's ultimate skill.

Remember,

don't lose this tradition again.

Yes.

Ancestor, you...

Xintong.

You can do it.

I trust you.

Is this the power of the Yan Ling Spike?

Your ancestor is quite capable.

Xintong.

Hu Zi.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm always here.

I'm sleepy.

Don't sleep, Xintong.

We're almost there.

Hang in there.

You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Everyone is waiting for you.

Hu Zi.

I'm so sleepy.

- How far have we going?
- You'll be fine.

♫ Memories burn my heart ♫

We've traveled quite a distance.

We're almost there.

Ruyun Village.

♫ Sorrow and joy are like the wind without trace ♫

Babao Town.

Fulong Capital.

Qianyu State.

♫ When I wake up from my dream, I turn around ♫

We've reached Dianfeng Valley.

We've really traveled a great distance.

Yes.

♫ The past is gone, falling into the dust ♫

We've gone so far

because we were led by you.

You can't fall asleep.

♫ My love for you is too deep ♫

We still have a lot to do.

I still have a lot

to tell you.

Tell me now.

♫ There are too many regrets and hatred ♫

I'm listening.

Okay.

I'll tell you now.

♫ I stole the warmth of the moment ♫

You mustn't fall asleep.

Do you remember

♫ And wait for someone in this long fleeting dream ♫

the night we watched the stars

before we came here?

Yes.

Actually, that day,

I wanted to tell you

that if we all become stars,

I will become the star

right beside you.

No matter where you are,

I will always shine on you

♫ Memories burn my heart ♫

and always be with you.

But now,

we have to walk out together.

♫ A journey of wind and snow, deep spring in the old land ♫

Okay?

Okay.

♫ Tears fall silently, don't ask ♫

When we get out

and return to Babao Town,

I'll open a small restaurant

in front of Zhao's Residence.

♫ I dare not admit I am greedy ♫

Everyday, after you finish your training,

come to my restaurant

and I'll make you some delicious food.

You like hibiscus trees.

♫ My love for you is too deep ♫

Let's plant a garden full of hibiscus flowers.

We'll drink

while enjoying the flowers.

♫ There are too many regrets and hatred ♫

Would you like that?

Yes.

♫ I stole the warmth of the moment ♫

♫ And wait for someone in this long fleeting dream ♫

♫ My love for you cannot be tainted ♫

♫ Countless regrets and wishes remain unheard ♫

♫ If love is lost, there's no next life ♫

♫ I hold on to our fate less destiny ♫

We've traveled such a great distance

and Dianfeng valley is huge.

Finding Hu Zi and Xintong

with just us

is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So what?

Even if it's looking for a needle in a haystack,

we have to look for them.

Don't get me wrong.

I didn't mean that.

I just think

that the whole way here,

the scenery has always been different.

It's like

we've been going in circles.

So I'm very anxious.

Have you noticed

that the scenery here

is very similar

to the scenery

before we met Wu Lidan?

Xiaoxuan.

Did you draw an arrow

here just now?

Yes.

I did draw this arrow.

But why did this arrow

fall down by one row?

The whole island collapsed by one row.

The whole island collapsed by one row?

It seems four hours have passed.

Where should we go now?

This road

is the road we took before.

And this road

is the road we took when we came here.

Now,

this is the only place we haven't walked.

Let's go.

Wait.

There's a hollow zone on the road ahead.

If we advance rashly,

it will lead to the ground collapsing.

But

this place is no different

from the roads we walked before.

Be careful.

How did you know?

Look.

Over there.

There are traces of dried-up rivers.

It means that there once

was a water source underground.

After the rivers have dried up,

it will cause a hollow zone

to form underground.

If we walk on it,

we'll sink into the ground.

This is a difficult situation.

Since we can't take this road,

why don't we take a detour?

No.

There are tall mountains everywhere.

We don't know how long it'll take

for us to get there if we have to

climb across the mountains.

If we are ambushed by demons,

it'll be even easier for us to be separated.

I have an idea.

What is it?

Our Julun State has a lot of

desert-like land like this too.

So, occasionally,

we run into such situations too.

Look.

These vines and plants

like the shade and water.

And they need a lot

of water.

So the place where they grow

should have water underground.

In other words,

as long as we avoid these withered plants,

we can follow the edges of the mountain

and avoid sinking into the ground.

That's the logic.

But it's not enough.

It also depends on

listening.

Listening?

Yes.

In Julun State,

there's a specific tool

to detect rivers underground.

Chang Daqiang.

Chieftain.

Take the tool and detect the roads.

Okay.

How is it?

The ground is indeed hollow.

Only on one side of the stone wall

is the echo stronger.

That might be

our only way out.

Okay.

Lead the way.

Hu Zi.

Xintong.

Hu Zi.

Hu Zi.

Xintong.

Hu Zi.

Xintong.

Hu Zi.

Xintong.

Hu Zi.

Look.

Over there.

Since you came from afar,

you should take your time

to enjoy the scenery here.

Look.

Look.

I didn't expect

that this desert

would have such a wonderful view.

Grandma.

Xiaoxuan.

Grandma.

What happened to them?

They were attacked by demons.

Luckily they didn't hurt their organs.

Second Master.

Yes.

Let everyone rest

in this empty space.

Yes.

Everyone, take a rest with me.
I'll take them down for treatment.

Chang Daqiang. Come and help.

Be careful.

Here.

Be careful.

Grandma.

It hasn't even been a day since we've been at Dianfeng Valley

and we've already been attacked so many times.

I'm afraid

there's a trap

in the Bloody Waterfall.

If we go there like this,

I'm afraid we'll just be walking into Yi Mei's trap.

If we are together, we will survive.

If we part, we die.

If we get separated,

it'll be even easier

for Yi Mei to destroy us.

Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open.

We have to work together

to go through it.

Grandma is right.

The more dangerous it is,

the more we must stay calm.

[Udumbara Valley]

Udumbara Valley?

What is Udumbara Valley?

I once heard this name

in a circulating scripture.

It is said to be the place where White Tiger lives.

Then that mountain

should be the Demon Emperor's place,

Twin Mountain.

How is the commander-in-chief?

They need to rest.

Especially Commander-in-chief Zhao.

Her injury is more severe.

She was injured

because she tried to save us.

I should have stayed behind.

Don't blame yourself too much.

Since we decided

to come here,

we know that casualties are inevitable.

Mo Guzi.

Grandma asked me to give you this.

Great.

It's the best medicine.

With this,

in one day,

they'd be able to recuperate greatly.

If we were

a little later,

they would have

completely buried under the sand.

When I was

diagnosing them,

I found that their spirit essences

in their bodies

have improved a lot.

Their spiritual essences are circulating

like before

and set on one place,

gathering and spinning

like they're about to merge into a huge river.

I wonder

what

they've been through previously.

That's good.

What's wrong?

After we reached Dianfeng Valley,

my Soul Lamp

has been flashing more and more intensely.

These days,

you've consumed too much power

and accelerated the dissipation of your primordial spirit.

If your primordial spirit

can't return to your body immediately,

I'm afraid you won't last long.

I know.

But I don't know

where Yan and Yi Mei are.

And Dianfeng Valley

is filled with traps everywhere.

We...

You heard it too.

What is it?

The flower is growing weirdly.

It must be a trap.

First Master.

All our sorcerers standing guard

are all gone.

A great strip of white camellia flowers appeared

in front of the campsite.

These flowers were not here during the day.

As we expected,

someone is trying to stop us

from getting close to the Bloody Waterfall.

Grandma.

Do you think the camellia flowers

were planned by Yi Mei?

When Fulong was in chaos,

I fought with her.

She planted camellia flowers all over her residence.

It must be her.

We're finally going to find her.

Second Master.

Tell everyone

to stay away from here.

We'll figure it out

when dawn comes.

Yes.

Just now,

I saw glows

on the mountain peak.

I wonder if it has anything to do

with this formation.

Grandma.

I want to lead a team of men

to check it out.

Once the formation is formed,

it'll be too late to break it.

Okay.

Mo Guzi.

Go with him.

Then you can take care of each other.

Yes.

On such a barren land,

why would a camellia flower garden

suddenly grow?

This camellia flower garden didn't

suddenly grow,

but these camellia flowers

have surrounded us.

Don't move.

Don't touch those camellia flowers.

Once you touch them,

they will release branches to eat others.

I remember now.

This is a unique variant

called Soul Captivating Flower.

I heard from the elders at home

that red flowers snatch human soul at sunrise

while white flowers suck human blood when the moon rises.

Every day and night, they are extremely fierce.

This variant has been extinct

for over a hundred years.

I didn't expect

them to be planted at Dianfeng Valley.

Commander Mo.

You're indeed knowledgeable.

Yi Mei?

Mr. Qi, how have you been?

What?

Were you not used to

the body that I prepared

for you

and changed another body?

Wait.

Commander Mo.

You're still the same.

What you're wearing on your wrist

is Ximen Miaomiao's.

Qiansi Wanlu, right?

She is dead,

but you still remain loyal to her.

I'm really impressed.

Don't be rash.

This Camellia Formation

was set up by her

to lure us in.

Don't walk into her trap.

Everyone,

retreat immediately.

Yes.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Since you insist on leaving,

let this camellia flower garden

see you off.

In the early spring, no peach and plum blossoms are jealous.

The winter won't be affected by flowers.

They must be talking about you.

It's okay.

Others don't like you,

but I like you.

Master.

This is your favorite camellia flower.

I brought it back.

Xintong.

I won't let you

get hurt again.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

Back in the capital,

when we were dealing with the bee demon,

you said

I didn't care about my life.

What about you?

In their eyes,

you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies

and the Chief Commander.

But in my eyes,

you are just Xintong.

You promised me before

that we must go back alive.

I remember what you said.

Will you really plant

a yard full of hibiscus trees that I like?

Yes.

After we finish this battle,

we'll go back to Babao Town together.

Okay?

The camellia flowers

are getting closer to us.

Yes.

First Master.

Damen.

Hu Zi. Xintong.

Why are you here?

Are you feeling better?

Thanks to your medicine,

we recovered quickly.

But you still shouldn't rush it.

You need to rest well.

Especially Xintong.

Yes, Xintong.

Everyone, don't worry.

I'm fine now.

Dianfeng Valley is full of danger.

The longer we wait,

the more passive we become.

We should discuss

our next strategy.

What should we do next?

We aren't done with one wave

and another rises again.

Now,

we need to solve the issue with the camellia flowers.

Camellia flowers?

Yes.

When you were in a coma,

something strange happened again.

We don't know how

but a lot of

white camellia flowers appeared.

And their vines

will even recklessly hurt people

and stopped us from advancing

to the Bloody Waterfall.

Everyone is worried

about this issue now.

It should be a formation set up by Yi Mei.

Yi Mei was here?

No.

But Xiaoxuan brought some men

to investigate.

Is there any way to break

this Camellia Formation?

I'm still studying it.

This flower grows very fast.

It won't help even if it's chopped off or burnt.

They will emerge out of the ground again quickly.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Ya!

Watch out!

You're my man.

I won't let you die.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Didn't I tell you

to stay away from these camellia?

I did.

I came out to pee just now

and these camellia flowers

appeared around my feet

and entangled me.

Those camellia flowers

are about to bloom in the campsite.

It was 100 steps away just now.

In a blink of an eye,

it's already here.

This formation is getting bigger.

I wonder how

Xiao Xuan and the others are.

I'll go find them.

No.

If you step into this Camellia Formation now,

you'll die.

Let's wait for Xiaoxuan and the others for a while longer.

Yes.

The spread of these vines

is too rapid.

We have to make everyone retreat.

Okay.

Be careful.

Hurry up and leave.

Yes.

Let's go.

No response?

Why did the color change?

Watch out for tricks.

Stay away from them first.

Smells good.

What happened?

First Master.

The camellia suddenly

turned red

and even gave out a scent.

Anyone who inhaled it

became unconscious.

Brick smelled it and became like this.

Please examine him.

Is he poisoned?

He's fine.

He just passed out.

Brick.

Brick.

Brick.

Stop calling him.

I guess

it'll take him about two hours to wake up.

We are 100 steps away

from the Camellia Formation.

But once the wind blows

and the scent comes over,

the whole army will fall into a coma.

What kind of flower is this?

It's so evil.

The Soul Captivating Flower.

How are you?

We're fine.

Brick smelled the flowers

and became like this.

Xuan.

What have you found?

This Camellia Formation was set up by Yi Mei.

We met her ahead.

You bumped into Yi Mei?

That's right.

She deliberately led us into the formation.

We had no choice

but to retreat first.

Just now, you said

that's the Soul Captivating Flower?

Yes.

It was also because I saw

that it changed according to daylight

that I could confirm it as the Soul Captivating Flower.

Legend has it

that a hundred years ago,

someone cultivated

such a variant of the camellia

and used this flower

to come up with a unique formation.

This flower is red during the day

and emits a special gas

which makes people unconscious,

and turns white at night

with skull patterns in its stamen.

Although it loses the special gas

that makes others unconscious in the daytime,

its root and vines

become murderous weapons

that drag people into the ground

to become fertilizer for its own nourishment.

This Yi Mei is really evil.

I've heard of this formation.

I didn't expect Yi Mei

to use this formation

against us.

Is there a way to break this formation?

This formation has been lost for a long time

and is extremely dangerous.

You can't go near it day or night.

Did you just say

that the camellia flower

is not aggressive

when it's red during the day?

That's right.

But once people get close,

they will faint.

I have an idea.

My body is different from ordinary people.

I have no nerves related to the sense of smell.

I can't smell the scent of the flower.

In the day, I can head towards it

and find the key to the formation

to break it.

No.

Your primordial spirit is weakening.

You can't act alone.

This formation is special.

We don't know what traps.

Yi Mei has set up within it.

Yes, absolutely not.

It's too dangerous for you to go alone.

Even if you're going, I'll go with you.

How about this?

I have an idea.

By piercing a silver needle

at the nape acupoint,

one's sense of smell and taste

can be temporarily blocked

and prevent becoming unconscious from the scent.

Besides,

there must be

a camellia mother plant within this mountain.

Other camellia flowers

are born by relying on it.

Everything has its cause.

Everything has its root.

As long as we find this mother plant

and get rid of it,

we can break the formation.

You are indeed Mo Guzi.

You have so many odd tricks up your sleeve.

Let's hurry with the needle piercing then.

I'll go with you.

No.

You haven't recovered yet.

I've recovered.

Still, that won't do.

Didn't you just say

that we should go back alive

or be buried here together?

Are you backing out now?

That's what I said, but...

Then it's settled.

But...

Yi Mei is cunning.

Don't be impulsive this time.

Let's begin.

I really can't smell it now.

Mo Guzi, you're amazing.

When you met Yi Mei,

did you see Yan?

No.

Just Yi Mei.

We've been on this island for three days.

Previously, Yi Mei

has always been with Yan.

Why is there no trace of him this time?

He must be hiding somewhere.

Don't go easy on him this time.

When you see him, take back your body.

When I find him,

I'll talk to him.

Does he want to talk to you?

He disregarded your brotherhood

and trapped you in a puppet.

You can't say that.

Eight years ago,

I also

trapped him in the Spirit Mirror.

We'll talk about it

after we find Yi Mei and Yan.

How far do we have to go?

We should be there soon.

First Master.

Instead of sitting here and doing nothing,

why don't we ask everyone to retreat first?

It's getting windy.

We can't retreat faster than

the wind's speed.

When the scent blows over

and we faint while retreating,

at night, the vines will attack us

and there'll be no way for us to fight back.

What should we do then?

If there's no other way,

I'll bring some men

to chop them off.

It's useless.

They will grow back again.

Second Master.

Yes.

Cooperate with me

and set up a barrier here,

and tell the soldiers

to stay inside the barrier.

Yes.

Barrier?

How long can this barrier last?

It'll last until the night.

Qiling God.

Please bless Hu Zi and the others

so they can come back safely.

Not being able to smell anything

is tormenting.

It's getting dark.

According to the departure time,

we should be there soon.

The mother plant

should be right ahead.

Let's go quickly.

Don't be afraid.

Don't forget

that you came to Dianfeng Valley

to save your father.

Don't be scared by such a minor threat.

I'm not afraid.

It'd be better if we're just

fighting against the demons openly.

But these flowers are too strange.

At times, it releases a scent to make us unconscious,

and at other times, it'll release vines.

I don't know how to deal with it.

Then you should build up your courage.

Learn from Hu Zi and the others.

They're risking their lives

to break the formation.

Their situation

is much more dangerous than ours.

They are different.

His mother is a tiger.

What?

Oh no!

This...

Cheng Jinian?

The barrier is fixed.

Everyone, don't panic.

Second Master.

Arrange for people

to take these fainted sorcerers

back to the campsite.

Yes.
