But how do I use this magical weapon?

Why?

Do you know what it means to put
a ring on a girl's finger?

What does it mean?

Forget it.

Spark,

explode!

I think this magical weapon
doesn't seem to be useful.

It's not even as good as my bamboo ladle.

If you're going to call me stupid,
don't say it.

What about it?

-Lend me your demon staff.
-No way.

Why are you so stingy?

Isn't that what the Water Demon King said?

This is a low-level magical weapon.

Besides, it looks quite old.

Why do you value it so much?

My sister gave it to me.

When I was little,

I didn't have any magical weapons.

My sister made this demon staff for me.

This is my most precious possession.

Mu Sheng,

have you noticed that

everything about Sister Mu
is extremely important to you?

But you never take
your feelings into account.

I was never important.

How can you think like that?

Everyone's existence has its meaning.

The reason I live in this world

is to protect,

assist,

and fulfill my sister.

Apart from that,

I don't know why

a monster like me

should live.

You are not a monster.

And

I think you need to see a psychologist.

See what?

The stars.

Look.

Come.

Mu Sheng,

do you remember

the world I told my dad about

in Taicang County?

Yes, I remember.

It's a strange world

without demons or magic skills.

In that world,

I was an ordinary girl

with an ordinary appearance,

personality

and job.

My life is ordinary too.

But

I still want to go back.

Because that is

my real world.

Everything I have experienced here,

is an unrealistic existence for me.

I know

you think I'm talking nonsense.

I'm listening.

At first

I looked forward to going home every day.

I couldn't wait,

not even for a moment.

But today

I suddenly

realized that

I'm beginning to feel reluctant to leave.

I know

that when the dream ends,

I will never see Sister Mu Yao,

Brother Liu

and you again.

Because of all of you,

I have begun to feel
a sense of belonging to this world,

to believe in everything here

and to integrate into it.

I believe there are demons,

magic skills,

and spiritual powers here.

I believe

it all really exists.

You

didn't believe that before?

I used to think

it was absurd,

like a fairy tale.

When practicing magic skills,

I didn't have a sense of conviction.

So when I taught
you the Four Phases Technique,

and when I taught you to
hold your breath and concentrate,

you didn't believe it.

No wonder you couldn't master it.

Is that the point I'm making?

Come down, Lin Yu.

My disciple must not embarrass me.

Wait.

What?

I can continue practicing

if you agree to one condition of mine.

What condition?

From now on,

don't call me Lin Yu,

call me Miaomiao, okay?

Why?

Because

I told you before,
my nickname is Miaomiao.

From now on,

I'll call you Ziqi.

You call me Miaomiao.

As you wish.

Then call me.

Just call me.

Miaomiao.

Ziqi.

The sky in my eyes
Is always dazzling blue

Come and practice magic skills.

The waves say
The breeze will come naturally

So fly

Spark, explode!

Spark, explode!

Spark, explode!

Explode!

Is calling me from ahead

So beautiful!

So beautiful!

I didn't expect to see fireworks here.

I want to talk to
The passionate persistence I had back then

Thank you for not retreating

Thank you for always guarding your beliefs

So fly

Even if I encounter
Storms and crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

Miaomiao?

Yes, Sister Mu.

You can call me that from now on.

All right.

Miaomiao

sounds much more affectionate.

Sister Mu, I've finish eating.

I'm going to practice.
Ziqi is waiting for me.

Ziqi?

Sheng's courtesy name.

Spark,

explode!

Can I be called a demon catcher now?

One at Yellow Inferior Level? Can I?

No.

Why?

You have just learned a magic skill,

and now you're becoming arrogant.

You should
cultivate your inner core first.

Inner core?

Practitioners condense
their energy in their Dantian

to form the core.

This is the true source
of a demon catcher's power,

as well as
the foundation of their magic skills.

The stronger the inner core,

the more powerful the magic skills.

It's such an important thing,
why didn't you tell me before?

Who knew you could hold on for so long?

You really underestimate me.

Well, how long do I need
to cultivate my inner core?

If everything goes well,

you can form
a core in three to five years.

At your level maybe more.

-It might take eight to ten years.
-That's too long!

That's because you're so stupid.

-You're stupid.
-Who?

Little Bamboo Demon?

Why did you follow us?

He's afraid of you. Turn around.

All right, he's not staring at you now.

Speak.

I…

I want to go with you.

Come with me?

Why?

Your name is Cuicui, right?

Aren't demon catchers your greatest fear?

I'm surrounded by powerful demon catchers.

But I'm not afraid of you.

You're not powerful at all.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

But you do have a reputation.

When you pleaded,

he let me go.

Besides,

you're the one who broke
into my home in the first place.

Now I can't

go home.

I can only follow you.

Why can't you go back?

All right, he turned around.

Why can't you go back?

Because he went

to the cave.

Now

it's full of demon catchers' aura,

especially the Mu Family's aura.

What's wrong with the Mu Family's aura?

He's shy around strangers.

Let me ask.

Answer the question.

Because there are rumors among the peers

that the Mu Family's heir

has pure Yin blood
flowing through his veins.

If someone could capture and eat the heir,

his cultivation would increase greatly.

So all my peers, great and small,

are coming here.

Does Sheng has pure Yin blood?

This is a secret between me and Sheng.

No one else

has known about it for years.

Even Brother Liu doesn't know about it,

so how could it spread around?

It must be someone who is
deliberately spreading the news.

It might not be a human being.

You mean

Resentful Woman.

When the Resentful Woman
slaughtered the Mu Family,

she might have smelled Sheng's blood aura.

If she knew about it, it makes sense.

All demons fear the Mu Family name.

Even with
the temptation of pure Yin blood,

they would not dare to
provoke the Mu Family so easily, unless…

Unless there's a sufficient reason

or an irresistible order.

The one mobilizing so many demons

to act together

can only be

Resentful Woman,
the hidden Queen of Demons.

If this is indeed being spread
by the Resentful Woman,

her purpose is to drive the demons

and use others to kill Sheng.

If that's the case, it's fine.

It indicates
that the Resentful Woman's demonic power

has not yet recovered
from the fierce battle that year.

She can only hide in the corner
and use cunning tricks.

When I find her,

I must kill her.

I told you I couldn't take you with me.

I won't bother you.

I can help you.

You can ask me for anything.

NANKE INN

I said no, and that's final.

We are all demon catchers.

Besides,

Sister Mu hates demons the most.

If she finds out about you,

you won't survive.

NANKE INN

MAP

ZHIJING TOWN

Who's there?

Yao,

what's wrong?

Maybe I misunderstood.

Yao,

what are you thinking about?

Fuyi,

the Astronomical Bureau said that

a Heavenly demon catcher would appear.

My father once believed

that the person
they were talking about was him.

After my father passed away,

I also secretly wondered

if that person was me.

I've been learning
magic skills since I was a child,

and I progressed faster than my peers.

The elders often said

that I would achieve something
when I grew up.

If I want to avenge them,

I must surpass all my peers

and reach the Heavenly Level.

But after meeting you,

I realized

that all your fame and glory

are well deserved.

My talent

is not as good as yours.

Talent is not everything.

No matter what,

even if I cannot kill the Resentful Woman,

I must find her

and have a showdown with her.

Fuyi,

I really hope

that you're
the designated Heavenly Master.

If it really is me,

I will take on the mission

of killing the Resentful Woman.

Even if it isn't me,

it's still my duty as a demon catcher

to eradicate the evil demons in the world.

I know I may not succeed,

but I'm not afraid to die.

Yao,

you and I

are like-minded.

Miaomiao,
hurry up and pack, it's time to leave.

Got it.

Isn't that the bamboo ladle from the inn?

I almost took it with me.

No. Take me with you.

How can this thing talk?

Cuicui.

Please, take me with you.

Didn't I say no?

Wait a moment.

I'm useful.

I'll turn into something more useful.

Have you ever seen anyone travelling

with such a big basket?

That's right.

I'll turn into something for travelling.

That's not what I mean.

Why don't you listen to me?

Why do you have to follow me?

I want to find my grandfather.

You're looking for your grandfather?

My grandfather

is a 1,000-year-old bamboo.

He has been kind to others all his life.

He hasn't even hurt a blade of grass.

My grandfather and I talked all day.

We counted the stars.

Our days were filled with joy.

But one day,

a demon catcher came.

The demon catcher
took your grandfather away?

Did your grandfather do something wrong?

He didn't do anything wrong,

so why would the demon catcher catch him?

Demon catchers don't care
whether the demons are good or bad.

Your demon catcher friends

may seem very fierce

and look down on demons,

but they are reasonable.

Maybe my grandfather is still alive.

I must find him.

Do you know where your grandfather is?

I don't know.

We bamboos never travel far from home.

I never had the courage.

Anyway,

my home is gone now.

It's time to go and find my grandfather.

You are all skilled and warm-hearted.

So

I beg you.

This Little Bamboo Demon

was never written in the original book.

I've already deviated
a lot from the main story.

Cuicui,

to be honest,

I actually have
very important things to do.

If I don't finish them,

I won't be able to go home and see my mom.

I can hardly protect myself.

So I can't look after you.

You'd better

think of another way.

I'm sorry.

Sister.

Come with me.

I hired a carriage.

It can save you some trouble.

Fine.

Where is the Little Bamboo Demon
who sent the message yesterday?

I sent him away.

He's still a child. He's timid.

He has no family. How pitiful!

You mean

the demon in the Bamboo Demon Cave?

He's just a bamboo shoot.

Miaomiao,

you must remember

that the nature of
demons is unpredictable,

so be careful and vigilant.

Don't show any mercy

to any demon.

Let's go.

Sister.

It's half a day's ride

to the town ahead.

We should let the horses rest.

Yao and I

will go hunting together.

We can fill our stomachs first.

Alright, I'll get some firewood.

Who's there?

Don't come any closer. Evil spirits go.

Evil spirits go.

Why is it you? You scared me!

Why are you standing
behind me without making a sound?

I thought I had met another demon.

Give it to me.

What?

-What for?
-Give it to me.

This is confusing.

It's much better now.

You, why did you burn it?

The strong smell was giving me a headache.

But, but you can't just burn it.

This is the amulet
that Brother Liu gave me.

Did you even ask my opinion?

You are my disciple.

When Liu Fuyi gave you the sachet,
did he ask my opinion?

This sachet is for self-defense.

Now you've burned it.
What if I run into danger in the future?

I will tell Sister Mu Yao right away.
Let her teach you a lesson.

Why? Are you scared?

Why are you giving me a sandbag?

It's a sachet.

Doesn't it look like that?

It doesn't.

Did you

make it?

You are my disciple.

The protective equipment you wear
must be given by me.

Alright, since you gave me a new one,

I forgive you.

Your sandbag,

your sachet's strap is too short.

-It's so hard to tie.
-Verbose.

I'm not verbose. This is too short.

You…

This is my first time making one.

I wasn't sure
how long the strap should be.

Can't you just make do?

Thanks a lot.

Don't tell anyone I gave you anything.

We're back.

You're back.

Where did the sandbag come from?

Miss Lin,

you picked up a sandbag?

I didn't say anything.

Come here, eat some fruit.

Miaomiao, it's good to have you with us.

I haven't seen Sheng

so happy in a long time.

Are you sure he's happy?

I have watched him
grow up since he was a child.

After so many years,

he has a friend for the first time.

Here you are.

ZHIJING TOWN

PARTNER

TAILAI INN

TOFU WORKSHOP

Let's prepare the guest rooms first.

Mrs. Li,

take ten cents worth of tofu.

You come to help every few days.

Why pay for it?

Take it back.

Mr. Li isn't at home.

We are all neighbors.

It's nothing for me
to help you move things.

You should charge for the tofu.

Good boy.

Mr. Li will be back tomorrow.

-Thank you, Mrs. Li.
-It's nothing.

Old Zhang.

When your son went to town on business,

did he take a fairly large carriage?

Yes, he did.

He should be back tomorrow.

By the way, your mother
went for a medical check-up.

She should be back soon, right?

She'll be back tomorrow.

Maybe they will meet on the way.

Yes.

People here are simple and honest.

It's truly a paradise on earth.

The paradise in your heart

has low standards.

This is called seeing
the essence through the phenomenon.

Look how good
their neighborly relations are!

This proves
that the atmosphere here is very good.

And look at them,
they all live at a leisurely pace.

There's no struggle with the world.

Isn't it paradise?

-You…
-Let me go.

-What are you doing?
-Let me go!

-Don't be so wild.
-Take it out.

-Let me go.
-What's going on? What happened?

Let me go.

Let me go.

What's going on?

Wallet?

DOUYA, VILLAGER

Isn't that my wallet?

How could you steal things?

Where are your parents?

I stole from you, so what?

You can't even part with
such a small amount of money.

You miser.

Douya, why did you steal again?

Your dad passed away,
so no one can discipline you?

This child is so pitiful.

Her dad is gone.

Her mother has been bedridden for years.

-No one takes care of her.
-Yes, that's right.

The child has been
stealing things so that…

So her mother can be treated.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yes.

Guys,

to forgive others is to forgive yourself.

Let her go.

Take this money.
Use it to treat your mother's illness.

Ungrateful.

Would it cost you anything
to say thank you?

You know this kind of
personality is annoying, right?

Why are you looking at me?

Look how polite you've suddenly become.

Sir, has this child always stolen things?

-It's a long story.
-Yes.

I run a small business.

I don't have any employees.

I'm not very good at cooking,

but I hope you can
enjoy your dinner today.

When my wife returns tomorrow,

she'll make you our specialty,
osmanthus fish.

Thank you, but it's not necessary.

We're only staying for one night.
We'll leave tomorrow.

Where are you all going?

We plan to go east.

We will go through
the valley to reach the outer regions.

You're going into the mountain?

What's wrong with that?

You may not know

that this mountain is inaccessible.

Leaving this town,

to the east lies
the boundless Mitu Valley.

Once people go in there,

they never come out again.

Since you live near the mountain,

doesn't anyone

go there to hunt or gather herbs?

No.

We locals all know

that the Mitu Valley is an ominous place.

No one can find a way out once they enter.

It'll also bring disaster to the family.

For example, Douya,
the girl you met at the door.

Months ago, her dad, driven by greed,

entered the Mitu Valley
to dig for ginseng.

As a result, he never returned.

From then on,

Douya's mother's illness
has gotten worse every day,

and Douya has become a little thief.

Anyway,

people in our town would never tempt fate

by looking for trouble.

Who told you that?

Celestial official Guo.

Celestial official Guo?

Exorcise Evil Spirits
and Resolve Disasters.

-Put the silver on the table.
-Thank you.

Who put it there?

Oh, you put it there.

-It's not expensive.
-All right.

Give me one more.

A tael of silver each.

Hurry, go.

-Here you are.
-Thank you.

Is there more?

-Yes.
-Hurry! Come on!

This is the Living Immortal
the innkeeper mentioned,

with an extremely high cultivation level.

-Thank you. I have it.
-Here.

Take it and leave quickly. Next.

Here you are.

This is a mosquito-repelling spell.

-It looks suspicious.
-Slow down.

This celestial
official's skills aren't that great,

but his ability to swindle money
is quite impressive.

Stupid Tax.

-One tael of silver per sheet.
-I want one.

-It's not expensive at all.
-Give me two.

Come, put the silver down.

-Here you are.
-Don't touch me.

Give me one.

I'll have two.

I really don't understand.

He's such an obvious fraud.

Why do people here
still firmly believe in him

and call him the celestial official?

Look what he has on his table.

-You.
-Thank you.

Here you are.

Thank you, it's mine.

ASTRONOMICAL BUREAU

Is there more?

It's the badge of the Astronomical Bureau.

It seems that this person
is an Imperial Demon Catcher

registered with the court.

So the common people believe him

and call him the celestial official.

He's registered.

The people in the Astronomical Bureau are

becoming more and more incompetent.

In such a remote place,

where it's already difficult
for ordinary people

to make a living,

he's still swindling money
from the people.

Imperial Capital, Astronomical Bureau,

Empress Dowager Zhao.

It's the Empress Dowager Zhao
who forced my dad

to pay tributes and bribes.

Let's have a look.

Finally, I got one.

-Thank you very much.
-That's great.

Friends,

you must be from another place.

GUO XIU, IMPERIAL DEMON CATCHER

You can buy one each.

To keep you safe when you go out.

Fellow practitioners.

I haven't seen fellow practitioners
for many years.

How should I address you?

My sister's surname is Mu.

My brother's surname is Liu.

You're a demon catcher,

so you should know these two names, right?

Judging by your appearance,

age and demeanor,

are you the renowned Young Master Fuyi?

I've heard a lot about you.
It's my honor to meet you.

The younger generation
is truly impressive.

As for Mu,

is it the Mu Family
that was destroyed years ago?

Why do you speak so harshly?

-Why is your face like that?
-I'm asking you a question.

You said that the Mitu Valley
brings misfortune and disaster, did you?

I didn't say that.

That's what happened.

If you don't believe me,

you can go to the town and ask around.

As long as a person enters

the Mitu Valley,

he won't come to a good end.

You're not thinking
of entering the valley, are you?

Don't worry about it.

That place is very dangerous.

You shouldn't go there.

Let's go.

For the sake of fellow practitioners,

I'm trying to persuade you.

You shouldn't be so self-righteous.

Young Master Fuyi,
whatever happens, don't…

Boasting and mystifying things.

I think

this valley must have
an unspeakable secret.

So you think

he deliberately started the rumor

to stop people from entering the valley?

It's possible.

Let's sleep tonight
and enter the valley tomorrow.

If he is hiding something,

we'll find out tomorrow.

The sky in my eyes
Is always a dazzling blue

The departing ship raises
Its sails, waiting for the wind

It says breaking
Through layers of obstacles

Will lead to the stars and the sea

The fledgling bird at
The cliff's edge spreads its wings

How high must it fly
To meet expectations

The waves say
The breeze will come naturally

So fly

Even if I encounter
Storms and crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

A flower breaking
Through the stone, pure and soft

Open up an umbrella on a long journey

No matter where the wind
Comes from, I'll look forward to it

So fly

Even if I encounter
Storms and crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

As the wind blows open
The folded crane-shaped letters

The yellowing paper
Reflects forgotten wishes

I want to talk to
The passionate persistence I had back then

Thank you for not retreating

Thank you for always guarding your beliefs

So fly

Even if I encounter
Storms and crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead
