[A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella]

[Episode 6]

[Nan's Umbrella Shop]

Thunder overcomes wind. Wind overcomes thunder.

Thunder overcomes earth.

Earth overcomes water.

Water overcomes fire.

Ma...

Uncle Nan,

Morning.

Girl,

you're awake?

You're a pretty good drinker.

Let's drink together again some other time.

Sure thing.

Uncle Nan,

where's my Master?

He left for the Court of Judicature and Revision early this morning.

He really doesn't care about me anymore.

Well,

Yi said

that the sesame pastries on the table

are all for you.

Okay.

I'll take them then, Uncle Nan.

[Celestial Master's Mansion]

This is terrible.

Nan Fengyi is not here.

I was born with a defective Qi Core.

It has already leaked a lot.

Now, relying on my limited skills,

I'm afraid it's going to be tough.

The Celestial Master's Mansion selection

is starting now.

Meng Xizhou versus Master Bai.

Earth Control Technique.

Earth Control Technique?

It's a bit far.

The Five Elements Technique

is about fire, water, earth, thunder, and wind

transforming into each other in a cycle.

Fire overcomes wind. Wind overcomes thunder.

Thunder overcomes earth. Earth overcomes water.

Water overcomes fire.

To deal with the Five Elements Earth Technique,

what I need to use is...

the Five-thunder Flame Formation.

I summon the thunder.

Make ghosts lose their courage at the sight of the fires.

Five-thunder Flame,

break!

This girl

can actually use talismans.

This is the long-lost technique of the Baize family.

How could she possibly know it?

You're young and full of potential.

I am sincerely impressed.

As expected of Li Shiyi's daughter.

She indeed has some of my Senior's

talent from back then.

How's that?

Something's not right.

You were clearly so weak before.

People always grow and improve, you know.

If this is your true strength,

you can naturally pass.

Du Yuelian,

what do you mean by that?

You're just a real estate agent who sells haunted houses

and has caused deaths.

You've failed

the level one demon hunter exam for years.

How did you suddenly become capable of catching demons?

There must be

something fishy going on here.

Demon hunting

is extremely dangerous.

I will never allow anyone

without real ability

to pass the test.

Do you dare

to have another one-on-one fight with me?

Yuelian!

That's enough.

Our Celestial Master's Mansion is in need of talents now.

Master, that's not right.

That Agent Meng

is indeed a bit strange.

Previously,

she couldn't even pass

the level one demon hunter exam.

Du Yuelian,

now that I have passed the test,

your Celestial Master's Mansion should accept me.

That was a sneak attack!

It's still too far.

I can't help you.

Did you get hit?

At least

she finished the entire test by herself.

You sneak attacked me!

I wasn't trying to make things difficult for you.

I just wanted to test your strength.

Nan Fengyi?

My disciple?

What took you so long?

Since when did Meng Xizhou...

become your Master?

Yes.

Meng Xizhou is my Master.

From today on, whoever goes against her

is going against me, Nan Fengyi.

My disciple...

Let's go.

Hold on!

Meng Xizhou has just defeated Master Bai.

I just wanted to test her real strength.

But she has proven herself.

She, a mere level one demon hunter,

yet managed to dodge an attack from me, a level three demon hunter.

Compared to these useless ones,

she's much stronger.

I have nothing more to say.

Agent Meng,

you can join the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Congratulations!

From today on,

you are Master Meng.

I've become "Master Meng."

Father!

♫What is love, and how many can truly understand it?♫

♫In the moment of writing, thousands of thoughts surge through my mind♫

I've joined the Celestial Master's Mansion!

I've joined the Celestial Master's Mansion!

♫Ink stains the paper, words not from the heart♫

♫I collide with the clock of fate♫

The Celestial Master's Mansion!

I've finally made it into the Celestial Master's Mansion!

♫Your glance makes the moonlight surge♫

What's so great

about this poor place?

♫Your eyes mirror my flustered face♫

My disciple,

from now on, I'll be your backing

in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

♫How I wish this life could freeze in this moment♫

♫The impulse that pauses for you♫

All newly selected masters, please enter

the hall for a meeting!

♫My solitary courage and your smile♫

Director Nan!

♫Unfamiliar with the ways of the world♫

The Lord Du

also invites you to join the meeting.

♫Love, at its deepest, is understood most by the lovers♫

Everyone,

you are the cream of the crop from this selection.

The purpose of our gathering today,

I believe you all know very well.

To capture Situ Hanshan and his accomplices!

Isn't that right, Junior?

As well as the body-possessed Puppet Spirits.

And the Mother of Puppet Worms.

You just had to add that.

That's right.

We recruit new members

to gather talented individuals from all over.

Everyone, we should pool our wisdom

and think about

what method we can use

to capture Situ Hanshan

and those Puppet Spirits who might have possessed others' bodies.

As you all know,

these Puppet Spirits

are puppets that wear human skins controlled by mermaid demons.

Their magical powers are not very high,

but the difficulty in catching them

lies in their lack of demonic aura.

Moreover,

they're all wearing human skin

and blending in with the city's population.

Even magical tools have trouble locating them.

As for this Situ Hanshan,

he's a mermaid demon

with extremely powerful magic.

Even if Lord Du and I were to combine our powers,

we'd still struggle to match him.

Finding Puppet Spirits is easy.

I have Demon-Recognizing Pupils.

Changle City is so big.

How can you cover it all alone?

Furthermore,

we're at a crucial moment.

These Puppet Spirits surely won't be running around everywhere.

Yuelian is right.

Now that the Puppet Worms have possessed human bodies,

they'll certainly be hiding in their homes.

Without clear targets,

even with Demon-Recognizing Pupils,

we have no way to search for them.

We should now focus our search

on Situ Hanshan

and his subordinate, Han Qi.

On the night the incident occurred at Situ's Mansion, Changle City

immediately implemented a curfew.

During the day,

there are also Director Nan

and the people from the Court of Judicature and Revision

guarding each city gate with Demon-Exorcising Talismans.

With such severe injuries, Situ Hanshan

couldn't possibly escape from Changle City.

Behind him,

there must be a powerful person protecting him.

Right,

just like that day...

You all saw it—

that purple mist came

and took away both Situ Hanshan and Han Qi.

But

Changle City is so big.

Where would that powerful person

hide him?

I think

someone like Situ Hanshan,

accustomed to comfort,

certainly can't endure hardship.

Come here.

If you ask me,

we should first search all the major restaurants in Changle

thoroughly.

We'll definitely find him.

What are you talking about?

You're completely wrong.

Let me tell you,

since that old guy is a mermaid,

he must be hiding in some obscure corner.

What lousy restaurant are you talking about?

Stop arguing, will you?

I think

he must still be hiding in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

As they say, "The darkest place is under the lamp,"

right?

Master,

these people

are good at catching demons,

but not so sharp with their minds.

Don't get involved in their discussion.

Come on, come on.

There's nothing to argue about!

I'm on your side!

Everyone, please don't resort to violence.

Harmony is the best, okay?

That's enough.

Exactly!

What he's saying doesn't make sense!

Enough!

Stop bickering!

Let's hear what Junior has to say.

Junior, go ahead.

I called you here

to discuss

how to find Situ Hanshan!

Not for you to act like headless chickens,

bumping around aimlessly!

It's truly disappointing.

Yuelian,

don't be too angry.

Everyone here means well.

If you ask me,

we should just show our own abilities.

You all,

did you hear that?

Junior!

Junior, wait for me!

That's good.

Since we're all demon hunters,

let's rely on our own abilities.

My disciple,

let's go.

M-Master,

Master Meng.

Why are you...

Why are you also...

Lord Du.

We're going to catch demons too.

We'll report to you if there are any updates.

I, Nan Fengyi, from the Court of Judicature and Revision,

will surely assist Master Meng from the Celestial Master's Mansion

in capturing Situ Hanshan.

Goodbye.

You and I together

will find Situ Hanshan's whereabouts

faster than they will.

Master,

you're already amazing,

but

why do you still practice higher-level spells?

Could it be...

that you also want to become the world's best demon hunter?

That's your dream.

I'm not interested in titles or fame.

Master!

What is your dream then?

Being all pretentiously mysterious.

[Dan Wu Agency]

We're here.

Aren't we supposed to be looking for Situ Hanshan?

Why are we at my family's real estate agency?

To borrow the geomantic map from your agency.

Geomantic map?

On the night Hui Fang died,

I used a formation to immobilize Situ Hanshan.

Yet, he was rescued right under our noses

and vanished without a trace.

Don't you find that strange?

So, Master, you mean

that beneath the Situ's Mansion,

there must be secret passages?

Speaking of Chirp,

the poor child has had a tough life.

When she came from Xizhou to Changle,

she was only about four or five years old.

She couldn't even speak the official language fluently.

Every day, she followed me from dawn until dusk,

begging on the streets,

posting notices, and delivering name cards.

She did all sorts of menial tasks

and was often beaten and scolded.

Later, she began selling haunted houses,

and people called her a harbinger of death,

saying she was unlucky.

Fortunately, you were there

and didn't look down on her.

I found it!

Look.

The Situ's Mansion

is situated on East Market Street in Changle City,

the most expensive area of the city.

The street is flat and easily accessible from all directions,

surrounded by flowing water.

It's a prime location

that countless officials and nobles are dying to get into.

The layout of Situ's Mansion faces south.

Its artificial mountains in the northwest corner

connect the wine cellar and the kitchen.

If one modifies the kitchen

to create a flue,

it could lead directly to

Gou Street in the Taiping District, which is just a wall away.

This street is frequently passed by

carts carrying waste and night soil,

with few people passing by.

If Situ Hanshan had taken the passage through the artificial mountain...

I've carefully examined the artificial mountain

and found no traces of a secret passage.

This route isn't viable.

Not viable?

Then what about this area?

The Princess's Mansion and the Situ's Mansion

are both situated in the three-prestigious area of Tongyi District,

and between them,

there are many adjacent courtyards.

Moreover, the Princess's Mansion has remained abandoned for years.

So, could it be...

After the Situ's Mansion was broken down,

the guards stationed in Changle City

immediately moved into the Princess's Mansion

to respond to any situation.

Even if Situ Hanshan escaped there,

he would be walking into a trap.

So, this route...

They wouldn't take this route either.

So today...

we've achieved nothing?

How could that be?

Today, we at least learned

that even if Situ's Mansion had a secret passage,

it would be very difficult for them to escape.

Uncle Wu,

can I borrow this map?

She's in charge of everything in this agency.

It's yours.

Then I'll take it.

Uncle,

I'll take Chirp with me then.

Uncle Wu.

Master.

Where are we going?

I'm taking you to eat something delicious.

Let's go.

Master.

If Situ Hanshan

didn't escape through a secret passage,

does that mean we

really have to search every household?

Yes,

we need to search if necessary.

But I can't shake the feeling

that we've missed some clues.

Fresh vegetables here!

Come and take a look!

Situ Hanshan is a mermaid.

He doesn't need a secret passage.

There are all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

Fresh vegetables!

Master, you mean

he might have used the waterway?

[Map of Changle City]

It's the dry season now.

The water level is so low.

How did they manage to swim out?

Do you remember

there was a heavy rainstorm that night?

This secret canal

flows through the East Market's Release Pond

and continues through five districts: Guanghua, Tongyi, Tonghua, Kaihua,

and Chongyi.

Right now, it looks like the water level is low,

but after that night's heavy rain,

it would swell into a canal.

I see.

These mermaids

took advantage of that night's heavy rain

and swam through this hidden canal.

That's how they escaped the pursuit

of the Court of Judicature and Revision and the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Moreover, these mermaids don't need to surface for air at all.

This hidden canal is a natural escape route for them.

Impressive.

Then, let's follow this lead

and search house by house.

[General's Mansion]

General Sun's physique

is truly imposing and sturdy.

Is there a Puppet Spirit on him?

Is there a Puppet Spirit, or not?

No, there isn't.

If there isn't, then why did you stare at him for so long?

I...

-No. -Next household.

Let's go.

Who's there?

Let me add some hot water for you.

This is the public bathhouse of the Ministry of Revenue.

It's not appropriate for a young lady like you to check this place.

Let's wait until they have finished bathing.

I'm doing this to capture the Puppet Spirits

to protect the Changle City.

Even if I see something indecent,

I shouldn't back down, right?

Wait here.

I think you're the type

who wants to stand at the top of the world

and overlook everything else.

Who's there?

-Who is it? -Who's there?

Well...

This arrogant?

It wasn't me, sir.

You can check now.

Master,

you're quite the talent.

So, are there any Puppet Spirits or not?

No.

We've searched all the places along the secret canal.

How come we haven't found any yet?

Let's keep looking.

[Fa'en Temple]

We almost got caught.

It's all your fault, Can.

Can't you put on some weight?

[Maid of the Crown Prince, Bottle]

[Eunuch of the Crown Prince, Can]

You can't even block me. What kind of man are you?

How could you hit such a sore spot?

Bottle,

as the Crown Prince's attendants...

We, as the Crown Prince's personal attendants,

are hiding and sneaking around like this.

This is not how we should behave.

Keep your voice down.

You'd love for the whole world to know

that our Crown Prince has sneaked out, huh?

Here, Your Highness.

Bottle,

our Crown Prince

is truly a learned scholar.

Sneaking out of the palace to come here,

just to appreciate the works of renowned artists.

No, no.

It's clear you don't understand.

Then, why did he come here?

To make rubbings, of course.

What are rubbings?

Rubbings

are made by transferring the image of a painting

onto xuan paper, which you can take back and appreciate.

This is a refined pursuit unique to scholars and literati.

Oh, that adds up then.

So, our Crown Prince is indeed a learned scholar.

If His Majesty and Her Majesty

were to know about this,

they'd be overjoyed.

Before you praise him,

take a look at what he's actually making rubbings of.

[Crown Prince of Dazhou, Beigong Shuo]

Goddess,

I can finally see you day and night.

Who is the Goddess?

The Goddess is His Highness's latest object of affection.

His Highness is completely infatuated with her.

He feels miserable when he doesn't see her for a day.

That's why he took us with him

to make rubbings of the Goddess's portrait to bring back

to ease his lovesickness.

Wait,

why has His Highness fallen for a paper girl again?

Before, he was obsessed with the fictional girls

in folk stories.

Then he started appreciating

the beauties in paintings from previous dynasties.

And now...

Now,

I suppose this is kind of progress.

Look,

the texture of this stone figure

is at least better than

those flimsy paper girls, right?

Then, if it's rubbed onto paper,

it's still just a paper girl, isn't it?

What are you two whispering about out there?

Sorry, Your Highness.

Master,

something feels off here.

The temperature keeps fluctuating between hot and cold.

Just based on this geomantic map,

the Fa'en Temple should be at the end of the waterway.

It's not the Fa'en Temple.

It's the house next to it.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Your Highness, Your Highness!

What should we do? What should we do?

The usual plan.

You help me lead them away,

and later,

I'll get you out.

Hurry.

Your Highness!

Don't forget me!

Stop right there!

Go, go.

Freeze!

[Imperial Armory]

Fortunately, the rubbing wasn't damaged in the fall.

The Imperial Armory.

It's the place where the imperial court produces weapons.

Then this place should be heavily guarded.

Situ Hanshan

wouldn't be desperate enough to hide here, would he?

Unless this place

has long been Situ Hanshan's territory.

There's a dragon aura inside.

Could it be the Emperor?

Stay here and wait for me.

Don't go anywhere.

What about you?

I have to go in.

We agreed

to catch demons together.

The situation inside is complicated.

You stay here

and wait for me to come back.

Who are you?

I...

am Beigong Shuo, the Crown Prince.

You're really the Crown Prince?

Of course, I am.

You, lowly demon, are no match for me.

I advise you to surrender

and escort me back to the palace.

Then why are you sneaking into the Imperial Armory?

Insolent.

My purpose here is none of your business.

No matter who you are,

now that you've seen my true form,

you must die!

Help!

I, Nan Fengyi, Director of the Court of Judicature and Revision, apologize for my late arrival, Your Highness.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Nan Fengyi,

he...

He's a demon!

Your Highness,

you have the dragon aura to protect you.

Demons can't harm you in any way.

Please wait here.

Leave the rest to me.

You're saying

that the golden glow surrounding me just now was the dragon aura?

Yes.

In the entire realm,

only His Majesty and you are protected by the dragon aura.

Nan Fengyi!

You persistent pest, you've managed to chase me here.

Han Qi,

since you're here,

your master, Situ Hanshan,

must also be in the armory.

Capture him.

Take him back for a thorough interrogation.

Yes, Your Highness.

I...

am...

here.

Goddess?

Why are you here?

It's dangerous here.

Didn't we agree

to catch demons together?

No,

I absolutely won't leave you alone.

Absolutely not!

This isn't some dire situation.

I'm just going down to scout.

But who knows what's down there?

You're no longer the same

talentless Chirp you used to be.

Protect him.

Notify the Celestial Master's Mansion for rescue.

You shouldn't go.

Hurry and inform the people at the Celestial Master's Mansion.

That makes sense.

Hold this for me.

Go notify the Celestial Master's Mansion quickly.

Okay.

Goddess, you're so powerful.

Young man,

the Fa'en Temple is just on the other side of that wall.

You should escape first.

Then... what about you?

I have to go save him.

Don't...

Watch out!

It's alright.

It's fine.

I, the Crown Prince, am here.

Kneel down now.

What a joke.

How could the Crown Prince possibly be here?

Strange.

Master isn't around,

but how can my Demon-Recognizing Pupils still...

Do you believe I...

Watch out!

They are Puppet Spirits,

not humans.

Then, you take care of them.

Where are we going?

They've entered the Underground Palace.

It doesn't matter.

Going down there is just courting death.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Don't call me "Goddess" anymore.

Just call me Chirp.

Okay.

Goddess Chirp.

I thought I was going to drown.

Unexpectedly, at the bottom of this pool,

there's no water at all.

Instead, there's a city.

This Situ Hanshan

has been hiding the remnants of the demon clan in Changle City.

Unexpectedly,

he has been hiding them under the Imperial Armory.

He's even replaced all the guards with Puppet Spirits.

No wonder the Celestial Master's Mansion's demon-capturing formation couldn't find them.

You're a demon hunter.

Then you must be able to protect me.

You trust me that much?

Of course.

Alright.

Let's go.

Let's go check out what's ahead.

What's your name?

Where are you from?

My name is Beigong Shuo.

I am the Crown Prince.

Don't pretend to be the Crown Prince in front of me.

Do you know

how stupid that looks?

I'm not pretending.

I really am the Crown Prince.

Would the Crown Prince really need to sneak into the Imperial Armory?

Actually, I'm here for making a rubbing.

What's a rubbing?

Goddess,

look.

As expected of the Goddess,

you're amazing.

Then, what should we do now?

I need to save him.

Director Nan said

that you just need to protect me.

Here's what we'll do.

You wait here for the people from the Celestial Master's Mansion.

I'll go in first to save him.

Don't.

It's too dangerous here.

Wait for me. I'll go with you!

There are so many entrances.

Which one is the real one?

What is this place?

I don't know.

But it looks like

a place where Puppet Worms possess human bodies.

Goddess, look.

What do these mean?

Gouging out hearts, eyes,

stripping scales, and collecting tears,

and finally, drawing blood.

This mural depicts the story of

how the mermaid clan has been

brutally killed by humans for the past hundred years.

Look, this small figure is...

A young mermaid demon.

Looks like

it's still a cub.

Although Situ Hanshan

and the Puppet Spirits didn't do anything good,

not all demons are bad.

You think so?

Of course.

There are good demons,

just as there are bad humans.

Situ Hanshan, come out!

Nan Fengyi?

Nan Fengyi!

Where are you?

Goddess, wait for me!

Nan Fengyi!

Chirp?

Where are you?

Han Qi?

Good.

It's you again.

Tell me,

where is Nan Fengyi?

Of course, he's gone to see my master.

Take me to see him.

You humans...

have to pay the price for the wrongs

you've committed against us demons!

I...

I killed a demon?

Meng Xizhou!

Nan Fengyi.

Nan Fengyi!

Nan Fengyi!

Meng Xizhou!

Nan Fengyi, where are you?

Nan Fengyi!

-Nan Fengyi. -Meng Xizhou!

Nan Fengyi.

It seems

she's the one you love.

Too bad, she's already fallen into my trap.

Aren't you curious about

where that woman is now?

You can clearly hear her voice,

but you just can't see her.

Nan Fengyi.

Why can I hear his voice,

yet I can't find him?

Why can't I hear anything?

Could we fall for an illusionary technique?

Impossible.

I can sense him.

He's definitely nearby.

Is there a possibility...

that there exist

two parallel spaces, Yin and Yang?

Two parallel spaces, Yin and Yang?

It's a common setting in storybooks.

Yin and Yang, two parallel spaces.

Only by finding the connecting object that links them

can one make the two spaces

rotate with each other

or even merge.

Connect.

Have you heard of the ancients building the Seven Star Altar

to summon the east wind?

Of course.

That was a famous battle in history.

The ancients commanding wind and rain were quite impressive.

The wind-summoning technique was just a saying of the ancients.

In reality, it relied on astronomical calendars

and other mathematical knowledge to operate.

Master, you mean

that during that battle,

there was wind blowing from the east,

and he just used magic to borrow it?

Humans cannot truly control natural elements.

Only by learning astronomy, geography,

and the laws of the seasons

can one borrow the power of nature

to maximize the effect of techniques.

In that case,

I've also borrowed your power, Master.

If you can borrow it,

then it's your own ability.

Let me tell you.

She's actually right beside you.

But she just can't see you.

If you dare to lay a finger on this woman,

I'll make your life a living hell.

I won't let you die.

I'll make you become a Puppet Spirit,

living a miserable life...

Nan Fengyi, where are you?

Serving me.

Nan Fengyi!
