[The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils]

[Episode 27]

What would happen to the previous successor after he was replaced by someone else?

Eldest Martial Sister, I beg you.

I really want to spare your life.

Unfortunately, I can't ruin our rules.

Eldest Martial Sister, please spare my life.

Eldest Martial Sister's mightiness is incomparable!

Eldest Martial Sister's martial arts skills are the greatest!

Eldest Martial Sister's skills are superb!

Eldest Martial Sister's martial arts skills are the greatest!

Eldest Martial Sister's skills are supreme!

You are mighty, Eldest Martial Sister!

Brother-in-law! Wait for me!

Farewell, Eldest Martial Sister.

Stop following me.

You are now the successor of the Xingxiu Sect and their Eldest Martial Sister.

- Aren't you content yet? - I earned the title through deception.

I don't care about it.

Brother-in-law, I want to follow you to the outside of the Yanmen Pass.

Second Junior!

Yes, Eldest Martial Sister!

Eldest Martial Sister.

I am going to the north.

You all stay around this area.

You can't leave without my permission. Understand?

We will follow your orders.

We wish you a safe journey, and we hope everything goes well.

We wish you all the best and success.

With your divine martial arts, there is nothing you can't achieve.

Our compliment is unnecessary.

- You are invincible! - Dismissed.

Eldest Martial Sister, safe journey!

- Safe journey! - Eldest Martial Sister, safe journey!

Eldest Martial Sister!

Brother-in-law,

why are you sighing?

Am I too naughty?

Naughty?

You call that naughty?

You already won. Why do you still want to kill him?

Brother-in-law, you don't understand the situation.

I am a fake Eldest Martial Sister. You fought it for me.

Zhai Xing Zi is very powerful in martial arts.

One day, when he realizes that I tricked him,

I will be the one who will die for sure.

I can't see

your sister's kindness in you at all.

Is my sister that good

that I can't compare at all?

Fine. Since she is so kind, ask her to keep you company then.

I am leaving now.

I am leaving.

Brother-in-law!

Brother-in-law!

You are so cruel.

You ignored me. You are not kindhearted at all.

Kindhearted?

Do you know what being kindhearted means?

Of course, I know what it means.

My mother told me before.

We must not treat others with cruelty. We must be kindhearted instead.

Yes, your mother is right.

But you have learned all the wickedness from your master.

You have a good heart.

Then, I will follow you to Yanmen Pass and learn how to have a good heart from you.

Do you know why I am going to Yanmen Pass?

How could you follow me without knowing the reason?

Tell me, and I will know it.

I promised your sister

that I would live the rest of my life in the land outside the Yanmen Pass.

Without my sister around,

who will cook for you?

Who will make clothes for you?

You don't have to worry about that.

We, the Khitans, eat beef and lamb and wear animal skins.

We treat every place as our home. We go with the flow.

Isn't that about living a life of hunting,

drinking, and fighting?

Dead or alive, you live a vigorous and happy life!

Brother-in-law,

it looks like

you don't have to go outside the Yanmen Pass. You can live that kind of life right here.

What about

I keep you company here?

We will drink and fight together.

Drink?

Can you drink?

- Who can you win in a fight? - I...

You still need my help in the end.

Stop bothering me.

You don't care about me anymore!

I will just cry myself to death!

You can't die from crying.

I... I will show you that I can do it!

Then, go ahead and cry.

I am dead from crying.

I am dead from crying!

Get up. Stop pretending.

Zi.

Zi!

Zi!

Zi!

Zi!

Zi!

Physician!

The physician is out to treat a patient. Hurry.

Put her down on the bed.

Can you give me a bowl of hot soup?

All right.

Here you go.

Be careful. It is hot.

How did she get such serious injuries?

I will get the physician here now.

(Such a harmful creature.)

Sir,

her pulse has stopped.

That's no different from being dead.

Why did you still bring her over?

Come.

We can't resurrect the dead.

Don't be so sad.

It is better if you carry her away and bury her quickly.

Physician,

someone from Old Master Zhang's residence is here.

He needs the best matured ginseng.

Old Master Zhang is about to die.

He needs ginseng to hang on to his life.

All right.

Take this, Da Tou. Bring it to them quickly.

All right.

Physician,

can the matured ginseng really extend life for a while longer?

Yes.

About the ginseng.

When a person is about to die of a grave illness

takes a few sips of a rich ginseng soup,

he will be able to hang on to his life

for a while longer and leave some last words.

I want those two pieces of ginseng.

Can you brew the soup for me?

All right.

I will brew it for you now.

Sir,

the ginseng soup is ready.

Thank you.

Don't talk now.

Save your breath.

Sir,

the ginseng soup can only help in extending life for a while longer.

It can't save her life.

Even if she eats it whole,

she will only turn into a living dead

and live a little longer.

Do you have more matured ginseng?

Where can I find so many of them?

In fact, I went a long way to obtain those few pieces from someone.

That's all I have.

Well,

where can I find it?

The matured ginseng

grows in the bitter cold area surrounding Changbai Mountain.

The harsher the environment, the more suitable it is for it to grow.

If you are not afraid of death, you may try your luck there.

But given the current season,

it is rather hard to find it now.

(Zi is Zhu's only biological sister.)

(Although she is vicious, )

(it is not her true nature.)

(It was the influence of Old Freak of Xingxiu.)

(Besides, she promised)

(to follow me and stop harming people.)

(I promised Zhu that I would take good care of her.)

(I will save her no matter what.)

(But it will be hard on Zi.)

(Despite her serious injuries, )

(she still has to travel a long distance with me to a bitterly cold place.)

(I feel sorry for her.)

(I have been searching for the ginseng at Changbai Mountain for days, )

(but I still can't find any at all.)

(This doesn't look good.)

(Zi, )

(you must hang on to your life.)

(I will definitely find the ginseng and save you.)

(I can't even find a wild fruit here.)

(Where can I find ginseng then?)

Brother Qiao,

please promise me this one matter.

Zi is my only biological sister.

I hope you will take care of her.

I am afraid she will go astray.

(Zhu, )

(I will definitely take good care of your sister.)

[Jurchen, Wanyan Aguda]

Brother, you have impressive skills.

Changbai Mountain is bitter cold and full of wild beasts.

- Why did you come here? -I think I have lost my way.

I came here to look for ginseng to save my sister's life.

Ginseng?

If you need ginseng, you can just look for me.

you can just look for me.

I can guarantee that I can give you all you need.

That's good.

I will follow you then.

You are outright.

Wanyan Aguda, a Jurchen.

Xiao Feng, a Khitan.

You are back.

These, right?

Both of you must take good care of Brother Xiao's sister.

You may leave.

Brother Wanyan, thank you.

No need for formality.

You may live in this tent with your sister.

How can I accept such kindness?

It is my honor that you can live in my tent.

That's settled then.

Thank you very much then.

Come on.

Everyone! Come over!

Let me introduce someone to you.

This is Brother Xiao Feng, a Khitan.

A Khitan?

All right. Shut up!

I came upon a tiger when I was hunting in the mountain.

If it weren't for his help,

I am afraid I would have been dead.

Brother Xiao could kill a tiger with his bare hands.

A hero like him should not be judged by his heritage.

Great hero!

I don't deserve it.

Brother Xiao came here to find wild ginseng to heal his sister.

So please help him out when you dig for wild ginseng.

- No problem! - All right!

Thank you, everyone.

I can hunt for you.

If you need any help, just let me know.

Brother Xiao, you must be tired. Get some rest.

I will ask our chief to come over.

Tonight, we will have a bonfire to welcome Brother Xiao!

Great!

Great!

Hero Xiao, I heard from Aguda that you killed a tiger with bare hands.

That's very heroic.

We, the Jurchens,

admire heroes the most.

I don't deserve it.

Come on. I will toast to you.

I will toast to you.

Come on.

By the way, we brewed this wine ourselves.

It contains high alcohol content.

Drink slowly.

I will drink it first to show my sincerity.

I have no other talent besides my ability to drink wine.

I have not drunk any wine for months.

I am afraid these few sips won't be able to fix my alcohol cravings.

- Come on! - Come on!

Father, I was right, wasn't I?

Brother Xiao's alcohol tolerance is comparable to more than 10 Jurchens combined.

That's right.

Brother Xiao, we, the Jurchens,

love bold men like you the most.

Feel free to stay here and heal your sister.

We are very familiar with the terrain.

Let's not mention other things. The wild ginseng alone grows in abundance here.

Come on. Thank you in advance.

- Come on. Cheers! - Cheers!

Greetings, Brother.

At ease.

Yu, help your father sit down.

Is your injury healing well?

I feel much better under the daily care of the imperial physician.

The main purpose of your assignment to the Central Plains

was to assist Shaolin in investigating Reverend Xuan Bei's case.

I never thought you would cause such twists and turns.

You couldn't even keep your personal matters in check.

Treat this matter as a lesson then.

I admit my mistakes.

I never thought Kang Min could be so vicious.

She could work with outsiders to murder her own husband.

It was really unexpected.

If it weren't for Qiao Feng's help,

I am afraid I would have been dead in her hands.

Based on what you said, it seems that Hero Qiao Feng has been wronged.

Mrs. Ma murdered her own husband with outsiders.

She even used Qiao Feng's heritage to stir up a dispute

and caused him to cut off ties with the martial arts world of the Central Plains.

It is such a pity.

Based on my brief encounter with Qiao Feng,

I found that he is sentimental and righteous.

He is definitely not an ungrateful man as rumored in the martial arts world.

When he found he had mistaken me for his father's murderer,

he stopped and did not want to implicate others.

How would a person like him kill his own parents?

Uncle, Qiao Feng is my sworn brother.

When I saw he has to bear such grievances, I couldn't stand it anymore.

So I went to the Central Plains on my own to clear his name.

Good.

Mrs. Ma and Bai Shi Jing died a strange death.

Due to the urgency of the matter,

the Ma brothers did not relay

the whole story to their martial arts peers.

But Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect need to be informed of the matter as soon as possible.

Since you are injured,

we will send Yu to the Central Plains as Dali's representative instead.

Thank you, Uncle.

Our Dali Kingdom was once in chaos,

causing Prince Qing Yan to leave home.

And this throne fell on my shoulders instead.

The burden fell to me in the moment of crisis.

I always feel that I am unworthy of this throne.

That is why I always put

our people's livelihood and the kingdom's reputation in my heart.

I dare not slack off and forget about it.

Yu, you are the only heir

to the Dali Kingdom right now.

During this trip, you will represent and be regarded as the Crown Prince of Dali,

bear that closely in mind,

and keep yourself safe.

Whenever you encounter any matters, you must weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Remember, this is not just about your own safety

because you are the future and the fate of the Dali Kingdom.

Yes, Uncle. I understand.

Yu, don't be reckless

like your father did in handling matters.

Anyway, it is all destined.

We can't force it to go the other way round.

Yu Has been kind since he was a child, and he does not like conflict.

and he does not like conflict.

He is not interested in politics at all.

As the saying goes, there are many matters that do got go as you intend in the world.

there are many matters that do got go as you intend

in the world.

Now, it is up to Yu to come to a realization on his own.

Chun, you must make a good arrangement

for his trip to the Central Plains.

You must ensure his safety.

Yes, Brother.

I will make the arrangements now.

Hero Xiao is back.

Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao.

Take this. Add some dishes for the kids tonight.

Brother Xiao, I dug this from the ridge.

I dug this from the ridge.

Here, take it.

Is your sister recovering?

Yes. She can get up now.

That's good then. The winter makes it harder for her to recover.

When she makes it through winter, she will get better gradually.

Thank you.

She will be fine. Don't worry.

Brother-in-law.

How do you feel? Do you feel any better?

Of course.

You channel your inner energy to me every day and feed me with ginseng soup yourself.

How can I not recover fast?

Come on.

Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao,

are you joining the singing party tonight?

Yes.

Do you know what a singing party is?

I don't know.

Why do you want to go then?

Miss Zi, a singing party is our tradition.

We will be gathering to sing and dance together.

All right. We will definitely be there.

You haven't even recovered yet, and you're already so eager to have fun?

Well,

I'm almost turning into mud lying in bed all the time here.

Won't you be there too?

Brother Xiao,

just let her join as well since she is so eager.

- Please. - Take your medicine first.

All right then. Brother Xiao, I will leave you two alone now.

All right.

Drink it.

Didn't you walk normally just a while ago?

Brother Xiao!

Miss Zi. Come on. Take a seat.

My sister is bored to death staying in the room.

Yes. She should come outside and have some fun.

Come on. Can your sister drink?

She can't drink. I will drink for her.

Drink more.

I suggest giving a toast to Brother Xiao.

All right.

Come on, Brother Xiao. A toast to you.

- Come on. - Bottoms up.

Bottoms up.

Miss Zi, have some food.

Have you heard that the Liao and the Song are fighting at the borders again? Many people died.

These two kingdoms always fight against each other. It is nothing new.

I think the harder they fight, the better it is for us lest the Khitans attack us instead.

There is nothing to be afraid of even if they attack.

The Liao Kingdom is facing internal instability.

Prince of Chu is greedy for the throne.

It will definitely become a big problem for them in the future.

The Little Song Emperor is a child with a widowed mother.

It is hard for him to gain standing.

The Dali Kingdom is benevolent and does not fight.

Although the Xixia Kingdom intends to fight,

it is too remote and located too far away.

Although we, the Jurchens, can't compare with them

in terms of population and territory,

each one of us is brave and skilled in fighting.

If we train ourselves, we will be able

to fight against them one day.

Well said.

We, the Jurchens, are united.

It is not impossible for us to fight against them.

That's right. Come on.

- Cheers! - Bottoms up!

Brother Xiao.

Why aren't you drinking?

I don't know how to sing and dance.

I am going for a walk. You all enjoy your drinks.

Come on, brothers!

- Bottoms up! - Cheers!

Come on. Let's drink to our heart's content.

Brother-in-law.

Why are you here?

Everyone is having so much fun outside,

but you came here alone.

Something must be troubling you.

It is nothing.

I grew up under the rule of Song as a child.

It was my adoptive parents

and my master who taught me things.

Hence, I am actually part Song.

But the Khitans' blood runs in my veins.

Just now, from their conversation,

it seems that the situation between the Liao and the Song has grown more intense.

The Jurchens

intend to take advantage of the situation as well.

I feel troubled hearing it.

Actually, I don't understand why you are feeling troubled.

What does the fight between the Song and the Liao have to do with you?

The Song does not treat you kindly.

Moreover, the entire martial arts world of the Central Plains wishes to see you dead.

And there is nothing you care for in the Liao Kingdom

despite your Khitan heritage.

In fact, I think the Jurchens treat us well.

If we stay here, my master will not be able to find us.

We can live a carefree and happy life then, right?

Even so,

it is my responsibility to repay

my biological parents for giving birth to me,

the Qiaos for bringing me up,

and Chief Wang for passing down

his martial arts skills to me.

How can I let it go just like that?

Don't let it get away!

Chase after it!

[Liao Emperor, Yelv Hongji]

Run. Run! Quick!

They are the Khitans!

Run!

Brother!

Xiao Feng! Come back! They don't know that you are also a Khitan!

Come on!

This way! Quick!

Brother Xiao! Run! Get away!

Xiao Feng! Come back!

Great!

Let go of our leader. Otherwise, we will tear you apart.

Get your men to get down from their horses.

You Khitans are so rude and unreasonable.

You have to come with us.

Tell your men not to chase after us.

If one of them chases after us, I will cut one of your hands off.

If two chase after us, I will cut both of your hands off.

If four chase after us,

I will cut all your limbs off.

Listen up!

No one is allowed to chase after us!

After you.

(He is highly skilled in martial arts.)

(I would like to know who you really are.)

Bring the Khitan in.

Bring the Khitan in!

Bring the Khitan in!

Move faster.

What is your name?

What is your official title in the Liao Kingdom?

You were not the one who captured me.

Why should I tell you then?

He is quite right.

Master,

you are the greatest hero in the world.

I couldn't win you in the fight.

We still lost despite our larger group.

If you release me, I am willing to give you

50 gold,

500 taels,

and 30 horses. What do you think?

We caught a high-ranking Khitan official.

He is indeed a high-ranking official.

This small ransom is far from sufficient.

Brother Xiao, why don't you ask for 500 gold,

5,000 taels, and 300 fine horses.

Good!

(His surname is Xiao. Is he a Khitan too?)

All right!

It is settled then!

Did you hear it clearly?

I am asking for...

- 500... - Gold.

- 5,000... - Taels.

- And 300... - Horses.

Horses.

That's right. I agreed to it.

The Liao Kingdom is wealthy.

Such a small amount is nothing to us.

is nothing to us.

Brother Xiao, ask him what title he holds in the Liao Kingdom.

Don't ask me about my identity.

If you do, I will definitely make it up. You will not believe it too.

You are a great hero.

I don't want to lie to you.

So please don't ask me.

Master Xiao, it is my pleasure to meet

it is my pleasure to meet

the greatest hero in the world today.

If you want to use force to make me surrender to you,

I am afraid that's impossible.

We, the Khitans, couldn't win against you.

But we will not bow to others easily.

All right.

But I won't kill you here.

You won't surrender willingly if I kill you with one strike.

Let's go somewhere farther and have a good fight.

Don't do it, Brother Xiao.

It will be a pity if he is killed.

Get money from him instead. It is better to get the ransom instead.

It is better to get the ransom instead.

If you want to release your anger, you may just beat him up

with a wooden stick or a whip, right?

Yes! Beat him up!

Beat him up!

He wants to be a hero.

I will fulfill his wish then.

Come on. Let's have a good fight.

Master Xiao, I know I can't win against you.

But we, the Khitans, would rather die than surrender.

This place has nice scenery.

It is a good place to die too.

What is the matter?

Are you still going to humiliate me?

No.

I am letting you go home.

Are you sure?

I, Xiao Feng, admire and value heroes.

You are a hero.

You are now my friend.

You may leave now.

If you are really letting me go, I will increase the ransom by tenfold!

I treat you as a friend.

Why didn't you treat me as a friend too?

Do you think I am greedy for wealth?

If I did not bring you out here,

I am afraid the Jurchens will not let you go easily.

Thank you, my savior.

Get up quickly.

I don't kill friends. Nor will I accept a bow from them.

Since you treat me as a friend,

why don't we become sworn brothers then?

Great.

I am Xiao Feng. I am 31 years old.

May I know how old you are?

I am Yelv Ji.

Yelv Ji.

I am 13 years older than you.

Then, you are my elder brother.

Let us brothers pay respect to heaven.

pay respect to heaven.

- All right! - After you!

Brother!

Elder Brother!

Brother, are you a Khitan?

To be honest, I am indeed a Khitan.

Brother, it is bitter cold in the Jurchens' land.

Why don't you follow me back to Shangjing and enjoy a wealthy life together?

Thank you for your kindness.

But I have been poor.

When I live with the Jurchens,

I enjoy sumptuous meals and live a carefree life.

I will pay you a visit when I miss you.

Elder Brother, you better depart now

lest that your family and subordinates worry about you.

Remember to visit me in the Liao Kingdom.

Elder Brother, take care.

Elder Brother, it is not safe to stay here for long.

Go home quick.

Thank you for saving my life.

I would like to see you off!

Elder Brother, you are so adorable.

You are in the enemy's camp. Yet, you still observe courtesy.

Yet, you still observe courtesy.

With such a spirit, I believe you must be of high standing among the Khitans.

If anything happens to you here,

the Khitans definitely will not let it off easily.
