(Book Immortal)

Am I being too anxious?

There's no demon in the Tower I haven't seen.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Book Immortal.

Who are you?

How come I've never seen you in the Tower before?

No.

Why do you carry the aura of the King of Prison?

It doesn't matter who I am.

Just answer my question.

What do you want to know?

How can I get out of here?

Leaving the Tower?

Since this Tower was built,

no demon has ever escaped

from here.

I don't believe it.

There must be a way.

Don't you claim to be

the all-knowing Book Immortal?

But in all the books in the world,

there's never been a record

of anyone leaving this place.

It seems you have to be threatened to give me an answer.

I'll look again. I'll look again.

- Hurry up! - Yes, yes.

I'm looking. I'm looking.

I'm looking...

Tai.

Do you

- realize your mistake? - Tai,

I do.

From now on,

I won't ever dare to fight or quarrel with other fellows again.

I will focus on my cultivation.

So this time...

20 strokes of punishment.

Tai, Tai,

I know I was wrong.

I really know I was wrong.

Let's go.

What's there to be embarrassed about?

Go on.

Excuse me,

Tai.

I don't quite understand the Seven-Star Sword Formation.

I hope you can enlighten me.

This is my gift to you.

If you don't know,

you should ask the one who teaches on behalf of the master.

He really doesn't know how to treat girls.

That sounds as if you know it well.

Of course.

Look, I've never treated you like that.

Then thank you.

You're welcome.

After all, we are like brothers.

We can fight,

and I would never bully the weak.

You two.

Why were you following me just now?

We were just walking around,

admiring the scenery of Mount Shu.

Have you seen enough?

If you have, please return to the guest room and wait.

There are many forbidden areas in Mount Shu.

Outsiders are not allowed to wander around.

Are you two

suspecting that I am in cahoots with Bao Pu?

Are you?

As I've said,

Bao Pu's whereabouts are unknown.

Since his last mission with me to capture the demoness,

I haven't seen him again.

Since you say so,

we'll believe you.

Please

abide by the rules of Mount Shu.

Although Tai Wu is not likeable,

he doesn't seem like a liar.

Could it be that Bao Pu really isn't in Mount Shu?

The Wind Spiritual Bead is in Mount Shu?

Tai Wu appears upright.

Why does he speak lies so righteously?

Could it be that Bao Pu is hiding in this canyon?

Impossible, impossible.

Hurry up and find it.

There really are no records.

No records.

If I had known, I wouldn't have traded the Spiritual Bead

for the power of the King of Prison.

Spiritual Bead?

I remember now.

The Demon-Locking Tower is built of spiritual stones,

containing their power.

And then?

Have you heard of the Five Spiritual Beads?

Five Spiritual Beads?

Yes, it's recorded in the books

that the Five Spiritual Beads contain five types of spiritual powers,

which are of the same origin as the five spirits of the Demon-Locking Tower.

Those who possess the Beads

might be able to freely enter and exit the Demon-Locking Tower.

Someone has entered the forbidden area of Mount Shu.

Who is it?

Doesn't look like a Mount Shu disciple.

There always is a way out indeed.

Li Xiaoyao,

your timing couldn't be better.

Since you've walked into the trap yourself,

I won't

disappoint you ever again.

Li Xiaoyao?

Who dares to trespass on the forbidden area of Mount Shu?

Retreat immediately!

Gentlemen,

we are here in search of someone

and were unaware that this is the forbidden area of Mount Shu.

Please retreat immediately.

Gentlemen, please make an exception.

The person we are looking for is the disgrace of Mount Shu,

Bao Pu.

I have never seen such a person in Mount Shu.

No matter the reason,

you must retreat immediately.

Are you Mount Shu disciples only good at covering for each other?

What did you say?

It's you again.

- Tai. - Tai.

The person you're looking for cannot possibly be here.

How can you be so sure?

We Mount Shu disciples

are not allowed into the forbidden areas.

Since it's a forbidden area,

if someone wants to hide,

this is the perfect place.

You're just causing trouble.

If you won't let us in,

then he must definitely be hiding here.

Impossible.

Inside the forbidden area

lies the Demon-Locking Tower.

Anyone who enters has never returned alive.

If he went in, it's a death wish.

Regardless of what you say,

we have to find Bao Pu.

Come with me.

The Demon-Locking Tower,

since the founding of the Mount Shu Sect,

has existed as a Buddha tower

to suppress the demons of the world,

guarded by the King of Prison.

Once a demon is imprisoned in the Demon-Locking Tower,

escape is nearly impossible.

So, the Tower does not belong to Mount Shu?

That's right.

Our sect does not allow

disciples to approach the Tower.

Violators would have their martial arts stripped

and be expelled from the sect.

So, Bao Pu

really wouldn't be hiding inside the Tower?

The Tower only locks away demons.

You two have some ties to our Mount Shu,

but now that the demoness has been subdued,

please act carefully later on

and ensure that you no longer associate with demons.

Stop, stop.

That demoness again. What demoness?

To my knowledge,

Bao Pu is currently not in Mount Shu.

Since he offended you two,

I will report it to Master when he comes out of seclusion

and ask him to investigate the truth.

You girl.

I finally made a friend,

and I was about to bring her here to see you,

but she was caught by that King of Prison.

Don't talk nonsense.

A Taoist just came here

and made a mess.

Then someone intruded into the forbidden area of Mount Shu.

The Taoist said the person's name was Li Xiaoyao

and then left.

I haven't even cleaned up here yet.

The Li Xiaoyao you just mentioned.

Could he be the Xiaoyao that Ling'er talks about?

Ling'er!

Ling'er, how are you?

Wan'er,

you should go now.

Don't let the King of Prison find out.

Wait.

I'm coming to save you.

Wan'er, you need to leave.

I've never seen the King of Prison take such interest in a demon.

I'll go find the Book Immortal for help.

Ling'er,

don't worry.

Xiaoyao has come to find you.

What?

His name is Li Xiaoyao, right?

Yes.

That's right then.

He has come for you.

It can't be.

It can't be.

I've erased his memory.

He doesn't know I exist.

How could he come to save me?

Maybe he remembered.

No matter what,

he has come to save you.

This place is too dangerous.

The King of Prison's powers are so strong,

Xiaoyao could be in danger.

Wan'er,

I beg you.

Can you think of a way

to find him?

Please don't let him come in here.

Ling'er,

don't you want to see him?

I only hope

that he is safe and sound.

Gui Ying.

It turns out to you, General Gai.

You've got some nerve,

setting up a secret palace beneath the imperial palace.

A mere imperial palace counts for nothing.

General Gai,

why not abandon the dark and come to the light?

Join our Moon Worship Sect.

Dream on.

I don't care what your plot is,

it will never succeed.

Just you want to stop us?

This...

This is...

Indeed,

it is the Water Demon Beast.

You actually dare to try to revive the Water Demon Beast.

Have you forgotten how it wreaked havoc

in Nanzhao ten years ago?

A mere Nanzhao counts for nothing.

If it weren't for the demon queen meddling back then,

the whole world would be under our Moon Worship Sect.

Today, I must put an end to your hopes.

(Mount Shu)

Master, you called for me. Any instructions?

Is it that Situ has returned to Mount Shu?

Not only did he return,

but he also brought two young heroes,

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru.

They trespassed in the forbidden area?

Yes.

Li Xiaoyao said he was looking for Bao Pu,

but I told him

I do not know where Bao Pu is.

But he did not believe what I said

and even made his way to the forbidden area.

What do you think about this?

I'm afraid this time,

looking for Bao Pu is just a pretext,

and in reality, he's here to rescue the demoness.

In talking with him,

I found that he doesn't remember the demoness.

I'm not sure if he's intentionally hiding it.

This matter is quite strange.

Everything in the world

exists for a reason.

To punish evil and promote good

and to slay demons and eradicate evil spirits

is indeed our duty.

Thus,

the truth becomes even more important.

Master,

do you mean

I should ask the King of Prison for clarity?

No.

You must investigate yourself.

Yes.

Mr. Li?

Mr. Li?

This is bad.

They must have sneaked off to the forbidden area again.

Luck is on my side.

Savage girl, look.

A few more lights have gone out over there.

It looks like the Mount Shu disciples' bedtime is approaching.

Once they all go to sleep,

we can secretly explore the secret forest.

You say the lights are out.

Where are the lights out?

Over there.

Li Xiaoyao,

why do you never

call me by my name?

Your name is awkward to say,

troublesome, and not nice to hear.

Didn't I tell you before?

That was before.

What about now?

Is there any difference from before?

Are you planning to change your name?

What would that be?

Forget it. I'll think of one for you.

Lin Bingru.

Lin Xingru.

Lin Fengru.

- "Lin Fengru" suits you quite well. - Li Xiaoyao!

Li Xiaoyao, I mean...

Is there a possibility

for us

to take a step further?

Savage girl, I didn't catch that.

I'm saying you have no right to disdain me.

Your name is even worse than mine.

Shh.

They've gone.

Come with me, quickly.

Silly rat.

Come on. What are you doing?

You don't think Tai Wu will come after us, do you?

Relax. He's such a stickler for rules.

He wouldn't break them just for us.

Tai,

look,

we've somehow ended up here.

Are you planning to go to the Demon-Locking Tower?

No.

We were really just out for a walk.

- You're overthinking it. - Exactly.

You warned us during the day.

I've kept it all in mind.

How could we knowingly make a mistake?

We really just got lost.

We're not trying to enter the Tower.

Right, right.

I stopped you from entering the Tower before

only because that's our sect's rule.

It's really not convenient during the day

with so many eyes around.

I'll take you to the Demon-Locking Tower now.

Follow me.

Why is this blockhead

suddenly so enthusiastic

about taking us to the Demon-Locking Tower?

Do you remember

what he told us during the day?

He said that anyone who violates Mount Shu's rules

would be expelled from Mount Shu.

He's trying to get rid of us rightfully.

So what do we do now?

Tai,

we won't go to the Demon-Locking Tower.

Why not?

Tai, don't test us anymore.

It's forbidden to enter the forbidden area.

Even though we're not disciples of Mount Shu,

we still promised to obey and we will.

Yes, Tai. We're going back now.

Bye, Tai.

Miss Fairy,

I'm sorry.

Who is this Miss Fairy?

Why does it sound so familiar?

Xiaoyao.

Yueru.

I'm okay. How about you?

Xiaoyao.

Yueru.

Tai Wu, what are you doing?

Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao.

Ling'er...

Ling'er!

I remember now.

I remember everything.

Li Xiaoyao,

I remember now.

Ling'er has been captured.

She's in Mount Shu.

We have to go save her.

But Mount Shu is so big. How will we find her?

Come with me.

Tai Wu,

I have removed the demonic aura from you.

As the senior disciple of Mount Shu,

being exploited by a demon,

I feel ashamed.

Please, Master, punish me.

This demonic aura was not something you could resist,

but it was indeed because your mind was unsettled.

Let this be a lesson.

Yes, Master.

Mr. Li,

Miss Lin,

I truly regret

causing harm to both of you.

My apologies indeed.

It was not your true intention,

so we don't blame you.

The chaos was caused by the demon.

You don't have to blame yourself.

Situ,

you taught our sword techniques to outsiders.

Do you want to take him as a disciple?

No, no.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I merely saw some potential in this young man

and casually taught him a few moves.

Don't you remember our rules?

I've taught him anyway.

In that case,

Li Xiaoyao,

would you be willing to become a disciple of Mount Shu?

Well...

I am grateful for your kindness.

But we are here

for the girl

Tai Wu brought here a few days ago.

She's Zhao Ling'er.

Mr. Dugu,

I think there must be some misunderstanding.

Dugu,

did you really capture her?

A few days ago, we received news in Mount Shu

that a great demon was causing havoc,

and killed Taoist Mu.

Thus, Mount Shu disciples were dispatched to capture the demon.

Nonsense.

It was Bao Pu who killed Taoist Mu and framed us.

Correct.

Bao Pu left with Tai Wu,

but returned alone,

intending to kill Li Xiaoyao and me.

Finding Bao Pu will clarify everything.

Indeed.

Bao Pu said he needed to deal with the aftermath for Taoist Mu,

so he did not return with us.

This is quite peculiar.

I will have it thoroughly investigated.

In that case,

Mr. Dugu,

where is Ling'er now?

Please have someone bring her here.

According to Mount Shu rules,

all captured demons

are imprisoned in the Demon-Locking Tower.

Ling'er is not a demon.

You...

How can you imprison a person in the Demon-Locking Tower?

She has high magical powers.

Even if she's not a demon,

she's certainly no human.

Please, Mr. Dugu, open the Demon-Locking Tower,

and release Ling'er.

The Demon-Locking Tower isn't something you can open

just because you want to.

I don't wish to overstep,

- but... - There's no need for further discussion.

I will ascertain the truth myself.

Situ, keep an eye on Li Xiaoyao.

Trapped in emotions,

he'll act impulsively,

and make irredeemable mistakes.

We must learn from past examples.

Understood.

Understood.

Silly rat,

haven't you gone to sleep yet?

I can't sleep.

Me neither.

I never thought

that one day I would forget Ling'er.

Neither did I.

But it's not your fault.

Whether it's my fault or not,

I will never let go of Ling'er again.

Last night,

you said...

I mean...

Is there a possibility

for us

to take a step further?

No way.

I was just joking.

I didn't even take it seriously.

You didn't take it seriously, did you?

I wonder what it's like

inside the Demon-Locking Tower.

You're asking me?

I've never been there. How would I know?

Wait till I come back and I'll tell you.

You're going into the Demon-Locking Tower?

I must save Ling'er.

How come you're saying what I wanted to say?

This time,

it's serious.

Funny. That's exactly what I wanted to tell you.

Do you know how much I dislike you?

I get annoyed just seeing your face.

I get a headache just hearing your voice.

If you really care about Ling'er,

you should leave Mount Shu now and go back to your Lin Fortress.

Stop causing me trouble.

Are you done?

Li Xiaoyao, do you know

how funny you look when you lie?

The Demon-Locking Tower is a place of no return.

Do you understand that?

It doesn't matter if you agree or not.

We'll see each other inside the Tower then.

Fine.

My mind is made up.

If you're my friend, don't try to stop me anymore.

I have just one wish.

Once we save Ling'er,

let's

eat and play together

growing old

and be friends for life.

Alright.

Let's eat and play together

growing old

and be friends for life.

Pinky swear.

Alright.

A'nu.

Tang Yu,

why did you lie to me?

Let me explain.

Tang Yu,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have doubted you.

I shouldn't have let my thoughts run wild.

What's wrong with you?

I should have known

only the Golden Silkworm Venom

can save a dying person's life.

I'm sorry, Tang Yu.

I'm sorry.

You knew that.

How could you be so foolish?

This is the wisest decision

I've ever made.

Tang Yu,

let's hurry and find the Sacred Maid.

She must have a way.

She must be able to cure you.

Let's go.

Master, Master,

please save Tang Yu.

You can save him, right?

The Golden Silkworm Venom

has no antidote.

It can't be.

It can't be.

No. You must save him.

You have so many medicines here.

There must be an antidote that can save him, right?

A'nu,

I'm fine.

No need to bother the Sacred Maid any further.

It can't be.

- Master. - You...

Master.

- A'nu. - I beg you to save him.

- Get up. - Please save him.

A'nu,

get up.

Get up now.

Sit down.

My master will surely save you.

Master,

how is it?

He is not beyond help.

Master,

I knew you could save him.

A'nu,

rest assured.

I'll find a way to save him.

Now go and prepare the herbal medicine

I had set aside for Tang Yu.

Okay.

Okay. I'm on it now.

Tang Yu,

you...

Master, come and look at Luojiao!

Are you really going with me?

If you're scared, you can go back alone.

Why are you two here?

Go back. Go back.

Master,

we're here to save someone.

I'm not your master.

I'm telling you.

The Demon-Locking Tower is full of evil demons.

Ling'er isn't a demon.

She was framed by Bao Pu

and captured in the Tower.

Okay, okay. I know. I know.

I'm telling you again.

This Tower

is full of extremely evil demons and spirits.

It's always been easy to enter but hard to leave.

Not only will you not be able to save her,

but you'll also lose your lives for nothing.

Whether I can save her or not, I'll know only if I try.

No is no.

Master!

What are you doing?

Trying to move me?

I can do it too.

Master,

I can't fight against you.

Either let me into the Tower,

or kill me right now.

Whichever you choose,

I hope you will do it quickly.

I'm not your master,

but since you've come to Mount Shu,

you must follow the rules here.

You can't enter the Demon-Locking Tower.

Sir!

Please let us in.

Please let us in.

You...

You two...

Come on, get up. Get up.

Why don't you two listen to me?

Since ancient times, humans and demons have walked on different paths.

Why must you both be so stubborn?

Get up.

I don't care if Ling'er is human or demon.

I only distinguish good from evil,

not human from the demon.
