Original subtitles

My question is,

why are you afraid to enter the Mirror Formation?

Do you want to know what's in my heart?

Sure.

Hey, how about a bet?

If you can pick up Crescent

and merge with it like me,

I'll tell you.

Otherwise,

you don't deserve to know,

you little brat.

You old fart!

Stop beating around the bush.

Are you playing tricks

to cover up your elaborate plot?

It's good to be young.

They always imagine things as they like.

Too bad,

they never know

what's more important in life.

Has it crossed your mind

that if you can't save the world,

everyone will die,

including the two of us?

In that case, whether I'm persistent or wicked,

whether I'm good or bad,

that won't matter anymore,

right?

Am I right?

Don't provoke me.

As a half-demon,

I endured the worst growing up.

When everything was fine,

they all wanted me to disappear.

When disasters befell them,

they all wanted me to help.

How ridiculous!

Why should I do that?

Why should I take that responsibility?

You're holding a grudge!

Of course.

The world is disgusting

and broken,

so let it fall.

I won't feel bad at all.

Then again, it's also home

to my love,

my family,

my sworn brothers

and my friends.

I'll save the world for their sake.

I'll die for them

if I have to.

So I'm not doing this because of

some noble cause

or others' repeated exhortations,

and it's definitely not because of…

you!

"Not because of… you!"

That little brat pushed me!

This is my Master's study.

He has a soft couch.

I brought you a set of bedding

I normally used.

Everything is clean.

There aren't guest rooms in the valley.

I'm sorry

that you can only rest here.

It's good enough.

No need to apologize.

Fuyi, come here!

Did your Master draw this formation?

It matches his penmanship. What's wrong?

This formation

and my father's in Xingshan Hall look identical.

-Are you sure? -I'm certain. I saw it.

This evil formation kills innocent people.

It's fueled by the lives around it.

Upstanding people would never use it.

But why did my father set it up,

and why did your Master draw it here?

Did you come alone?

Master,

you left your manuscripts there

so Yao would see them

and come to ask you about them, right?

Did you fear she couldn't process

the truth all of a sudden,

so you came to ask me for her?

Master,

her father,

Master Mu,

what was he like?

Do you remember

when the last time I went out of the valley was?

Seven years ago.

The Mu Family were annihilated then!

At that time I went out

to find out the truth.

I did go to Xingshan Hall

and saw the rest

of the formation Huaijiang had left.

And I was able to confirm

that he had set it up to kill the Resentful Woman

and get her demon core.

Kill the Resentful Woman?

Did he already know

she would soon appear?

He knew that the whole time,

and that she was the cause

of the catastrophe of heaven.

So Master Mu was

doing everything he could to save the world.

But…

But over 400 people died in that hall…

She's been looking for

an answer to their deaths, right?

She wants to be told

that her heroic father did all that for the right cause.

That he wasn't a hypocrite.

Twenty years ago,

the Prophecy from the Astronomical Bureau

said the chosen Heavenly Demon Catcher

had been born.

At that time,

Mu Yao was a baby,

while her father was in his prime,

young and powerful.

His skills were second to none.

Everyone believed

he was the chosen one.

And he thought so too.

That's who he was,

proud and arrogant,

always seeing himself as a hero.

But when the Mu Family

were massacred,

he was killed by the Resentful Woman.

He meant to protect everyone,

but in the end

he couldn't even protect his family.

You don't need to tell her the truth.

Just let her know her father is

a revered hero.

That'll give her a sense of closure.

I have to tell her

everything I know.

No more, no less.

As you said,

she knows me best.

Go ahead then.

Master,

I have one last question

that I've kept to myself

all these years.

What is it?

Who exactly is Mr. Wenxin?

Are you

getting to the bottom of everything?

I respect you the most.

And you mean the most to me as family.

I really want to know the answer.

Does Mu Yao

work well with that weapon

she usually brings?

That chain made of mystic silver is the best of the best.

It's perfect for her.

Do you know where it came from?

Yao once told me

her father's friend gave it to her

shortly after she was born.

-Look, she's smiling! -Look at that smile.

She's so adorable when she smiles.

Yes.

Hey,

if you like children so much,

you should've got married

to carry on the Lu Family's bloodline, right?

That's enough.

The seniors at home keep nagging me.

You too?

I'm a free man.

I don't want such responsibilities like you.

Fine.

Don't regret it when you get old.

Bring it in.

This is for my dear niece.

It's…

It's made of mystic silver!

Aren't you sharp?

Such material is bendable and light with great strength,

perfect for weapons for girls.

I looked everywhere for a year and found barely enough

to forge this Snow Chain.

I'm lending it to you for now.

I really appreciate it.

It was you!

You're Lu Huai'an,

the Demon Catcher who travelled with Master Mu

and became as famous.

That Lu Huai'an?

Don't say that.

I'm not that good.

Yao told me

her father had been looking for you.

He said you were his best friend

and the only person he could rely on.

As he was to me.

Master,

all these years

you preferred to live in seclusion here.

Why didn't you go to see him?

Why didn't I go?

I was too young

to prioritize things in my life.

Not even close.

You aren't even close

to your predecessor's level.

It's over. It's hopeless.

My life will probably end soon.

Whatever!

I quit. We'll all be doomed.

Don't scare me.

I'm over 1,000 years old.

I'm not scared.

It's just that the land, the plants,

the foxtail between your teeth,

humans and demons

will all be destroyed soon.

Look,

if I can't conquer this weapon

to save the world,

what do I do?

Young man,

I've pondered that for more than 900 years

and mulled it over.

I've realized something.

Photinia serrulata smells the best.

I should've known

that once the catastrophe of heaven strikes,

the world will fall.

Nothing will matter anymore.

When that time comes,

the right thing to do is

to leave no regrets between you and your love.

Yanyan,

were there a second chance,

I'd tell you I love you.

Hey, where are you going?

I've made no progress.

Staying here is a waste of time.

Wait, you… Are you quitting?

For real?

Why are you sighing?

I should ask you that.

I'm worried.

Why can't Ziqi

merge with Crescent?

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

Cuicui, stop imitating me.

Think about it.

If he can draw it out,

he should be able to use it.

He's been practicing hard,

but why can't he succeed?

Why the devil is that?

Why the devil…?

There… There's… a devil?

Another metaphor?

Hey, young lady.

Can you come to the kitchen?

Coming.

Are you coming or not?

What's wrong?

Are you scared

that the world will end,

and so will we?

How could I not be?

We're living in a lovely and beautiful world.

It's a shame to let it fall.

Besides, in this world,

there are so many people I cherish and love.

That boy said the exact same thing.

You two are like-minded.

That half-demon is so lucky

to have met you.

Sir,

do you know any ways

to have Ziqi and Crescent become a whole?

Will it be too late when we find one?

There's something he can try.

Really? What is it?

It lies in his nature.

As long as he knows where he's from

and who he is, he can unify his heart and mind

and eventually achieve success.

That's the universal law.

Knowing where he's from.

Are you saying

Ziqi's failure is partly because he lost his childhood memory?

Yes. His memory loss

has left a hole in his heart,

so he can't reach unification.

He can use pure strength

to command ordinary weapons,

but Crescent is too powerful.

He can't conquer it.

I see. I'll go tell him now!

Wait, come back!

Right now, his mind and heart are battling,

causing stagnation.

He's hit a…

a bottleneck.

He knows that too. That boy is quite sharp.

You're right.

Ziqi resists that part

of the memory from his childhood.

Exactly.

Then what should we do?

We'll wait.

Wait?

The catastrophe of heaven is so close.

There's no time!

When the water starts boiling,

put the vegetables in the pot.

Remember, don't add the salt first.

Is the water boiling?

Not yet.

I'll add more firewood.

Be patient.

Miaomiao.

-Ziqi? -Come here.

I need to talk to you.

The vegetables are right here, sir.

It is boiling now.

Ziqi, what is it? You look serious.

Miaomiao,

can you go somewhere with me?

Where to?

Qilin Mountain.

I want to go back and see

if I can recover my childhood memory.

But aren't you afraid of it?

Not exactly.

I'm afraid to face my fear,

but now I have to be brave.

Does that mean you're no longer afraid?

I was with Cuicui's grandfather just now.

He said…

What did he say?

Stop asking questions.

Anyway, I can face it.

I know you're the bravest!

Let's go pack up.

-Miaomiao… -Look!

Look at those Dust Demons.

What are they doing?

They seem to be forming a pattern.

I'm clueless.

Are they sending me a message?

Forget it. Your memory comes first.

-Sir. -What's up?

Have those two left?

Yes.

They've set out for Xilai County where Qilin Mountain is.

Good. That's good.

Sir,

if Sheng recovers his memory,

can he merge with Crescent

to defeat the Resentful Woman

and stop the catastrophe of heaven?

Good question.

That catastrophe will happen

once the Resentful Woman regains her full power.

At that time,

she'll become the Queen of Demons.

All demonic beings will kneel in front of her.

And the weak-minded ones

will take orders from her to do evil.

You guys won't be a match for her.

Master, what…?

To prevent that from happening,

you must strike first,

or it will be too late.

Before she regains all her power

and the Blood Moon appears in the sky,

eliminate her

for good!

But we don't even know where she is.

The map showing her whereabouts

has been burned.

Is that so?

It can be fixed.

Only a fragment is left.

It's beyond repair.

Some fire that was.

Don't worry.

I can fix it.

Even with one fragment?

Master,

how come you can fix this map?

HUNDRED DEMONS MOUNTAIN AND SEA MAP

The Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map?

Huai'an,

what are you doing?

Just take it.

Are you drunk?

You…

This map can show every demon's trace.

It took generations

of the Lus hundreds of years

to put together this rare treasure.

You shouldn't have taken it out,

let alone have given it to someone else!

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not giving it to a stranger.

It's been collecting dust in our ancestral hall for a century.

Those old geezers kept it secret in case others would steal it.

But however rare it is,

it's still a tool,

so it should be put to good use.

If there's anyone

can make the best use of it,

that would be me

and you.

You know I'm laid-back.

I only care about myself.

So it all lies on you to battle demons

and keep the world safe.

My niece!

You trusted my father so much.

I was lazy.

As precious as it is,

it's been broken

for as long as I can remember.

It could only locate some little demons.

Father tried to fix it, but failed.

What happened to it doesn't matter.

To fix this map,

I need a rarity.

What is it?

There's a demonic creature called Mysterious Cold Silkworm.

It's only Tier three and unenlightened,

but there's something it has and others don't.

Its silk can

fix everything in the world.

Where can we find this silkworm?

Are there any leads?

That old bamboo, who is over 1,000 years old,

can spread his power everywhere from his roots.

That's why he's well-informed.

He once told me that silkworms and the Silk Soul Flower

always grow together.

Such flowers can only be found

in Cainan now.

Cainan?

You're leaving too?

Yes. We're going to Cainan.

I'll be left here alone.

Hey, little shoot,

when we come back,

if the five of us stick together,

we'll never part again.

-Let's go, Fuyi. -Sure.

I'll walk you out.

No need.

Stay with your grandfather.

Sister Mu, Brother Liu, take care.

Go back.

Cuicui,

my dear grandson!

Are you sad seeing your friends leave?

Yes.

We're really good friends.

Grandfather, you called my name right!

Finally!

You're over 300 years old.

I have to at least know your name.

Grandfather, I'm only a little over 150.

Thank you.

The sky in my eyes is always dazzling blue

Excuse me.

How can we get to Qilin Mountain?

I don't know.

Ask others ahead.

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

Sir, a bun, please!

-Sure. -Two buns. Thanks.

Here you go.

Hot! I'll pay…

-Let me do it. -No, I'll pay.

-Let me. -Let me do it. My treat.

-It's my turn. -It's my turn.

-Take my money. -Take my money.

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

-It's scalding! -Really?

-I was joking. -Let's go.

ETHEREAL POOL

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

Are you done? My face is getting numb.

Hold on. Almost there.

You said so one hour ago.

This Brush Demon is a well-known painter.

Must we get a painting?

It's our first trip alone.

This place is beautiful.

The painting can be a memento.

Fine.

Keep your head still.

Hurry!

Come on.

GUYUE ART HOUSE

Finished.

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Where are we?

You're so smitten by the view here

that you've become part of it.

When I paid you, did I mention

we're Demon Catchers?

You're ripping off my wool!

Hands off, please. I was joking with you.

Thank you for not retreating

See? There you are.

So fly

Miaomiao, what's this gesture of yours?

It's like "Yeah!"

It's pretty much accurate.

Can you make my legs longer, though?

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

Sheng and I have gone to many places,

but we've never visited Cainan.

They say the scenery is magnificent.

It surely is.

Yes.

You once said you came from Cainan.

Where did you live?

Not far from here.

We're almost there.

You killed them!

You're a demon!

Demon!

Fuyi.

Fuyi?

What's up, Yao?

You look a bit down.

I guess I'm a little tired.

You've been quiet too.

Do you not want to come to Cainan?

Yao,

when you asked me

about my inner demon…

XILAI COUNTY

We've asked so many people.

How come no one knows where Qilin Mountain is?

It was levelled over two decades ago.

Of course they don't know.

There must be some traces left.

We've covered so many paths and towns in Xilai.

Have you recalled anything new?

Ziqi. Do you know Wufang Town?

WUFANG TOWN

No.

Are you going to Wufang Town for their storytelling?

-Storytelling? -Yes.

You probably don't know it's also called the Town of Scripts

with tons of theaters and storytelling houses.

Most of the stories you hear come from that town.

Many people go there for entertainment these days.

Perhaps we'll find new clues in that town.

It's the only place left.

WUFANG TOWN

What's this?

STRATEGY HANDBOOK

Don't know.

It was in my bag.

Did you mean to go to Wufang Town?

No.

Isn't this your handwriting?

WUFANG TOWN

It really is.

STORYLINE: WUFANG TOWN, THE END

But I didn't know that place until just now.

How come it's already written here?

Back in the Liaoran Valley,

you mentioned you forgot something important.

Yes, I guess.

I think

something has been missing this whole time.

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
