Episode 17
Why did I promise to be her sworn brother?
Disciple, gently. Not so harsh. I still want to keep my temple.
Disciple, are you still mad at him?
Forget it. You were buddies after all.
I don't have such a buddy.
Actually, he feels guilty already.
He's found out all his shortcomings and have corrected them all, hasn't he?
He's changed but my sister won't come back.
Disciple, that's right. How did you lose your sister's body?
Who would want a dead body? What for?
If Ding family's engagement gets ditched
I'd rather be the first to dishonor it.
Doesn't he love another?
You may love another as well.
But... who should I love?
Pig Fairy is a monk.
You're right.
I still keep thinking about her.
But I will be able to forget her.
Give me some time, I can surely forget her.
After I've saved my mom
I'll send someone to Mount Hua to propose.
I'll make it up to you in two folds in the future.
This is an amulet my mom gave me.
A great monk has blessed it.
My mom said you can stay safe wearing it.
Don't you know?
To me, your safety is more important than mine.
When I see you in my dad's clothes and holding my mom's sword
it's like looking at them in person.
The Succubus of Mount Hua.
San Sheng Mu said you wanted to see me.
Yes. I want to learn martial arts from you.
San Sheng Mu said you already have a master.
Right.
But I only learned from him for half an year.
Now he's busy and he can't teach me.
Why do you need a teacher?
Before, it was just for fun.
Now, it's for helping someone.
Helping whom?
Someone I love.
Your sword isn't from the human world.
You have great eyesight.
It's a gift from him.
This is a woman's sword.
Why would he have it?
Because... it was a gift to him from a little fox.
It's a gift from another person... how can he give it away?
He said that girl hurt him and he hates her.
He said he'll definitely forget her and make it up to me two folds.
That sword... can I borrow it for two days?
Talkative...
Talkative, you're so heartless.
You haven't shown up for a whole month.
I'm heartless? Fine. I'm leaving.
Talkative, I'm sorry.
Forgive me as you're broad-minded.
Your mind is so broad that I can row in it.
That's Pig Fairy's tummy that you can row in.
Talkative, you've punished me already.
I... I won't make mistakes anymore.
Still so impudent... This is the last time.
If you're late again, you won't see me ever again.
Talkative, I won't make mistakes again.
I won't. I absolutely won't.
- It's okay if it happens one more time? - No.
- That's more like it. Take this. - Thank you.
72 transformations!
Can't move it. Can't move it.
Can't move it?
What? Can't move it?
What's wrong, Slowpoke?
Talkative, my power is still not good enough.
You can quickly learn magic and martial arts
but power cannot be attained in eight to ten years.
Are there any other ways?
Well...
The way....
I haven't seen Taishang Laojun in a long time. I wonder how he's doing.
Quiet. Come over here.
This is a gate into heaven.
The legendary South Heaven Gate? I've heard.
I'm going in first.
- What do I do? - Think of a way yourself.
Er Lang Shen, where did you return from?
None of your business.
What a mean guy in charge.
Don't get away, Yang Jian.
Get a beating from Monkey King.
Spare me, please, Monkey King...
Yang Jian won't set foot on Mount E Mei again.
Go. Let's go see your uncle.
Let's see what excuse there is this time.
Monkey King... be gentle. Monkey King...
- Look at him. - He deserves it.
Go. Let's go see your uncle.
Monkey King, be gentle...
You're so rude to your senior.
Over there is Taishang Laojun's Dou Shuai Palace.
I'll lure him out.
You try to find his pill-making room.
If you see the immortal pills, don't wait.
Just swallow them down.
What are those immortal pills for?
They won't be harmful.
It doesn't matter you're full or not you have to swallow them down.
All right.
Master Monkey King, Master Er Lang Shen, help me get that duck.
Duck?
Thank you, Master Monkey King and Master Er Lang Shen.
Why is there a duck in heaven?
It ran away from Qi Tian Fu.
- Qi Tian Fu? - Qi Tian Fu?
Right. That's Master Monkey King's home when he was Qi Tian Da Sheng.
Since Master Monkey King was kept under Mount Wu Xing
Qi Tian Fu has become a duck farm.
8,000 ducks are kept to supply the royal kitchen.
Thank you, Master Monkey King. Excuse me, I need to go.
- Looking down at me... - Forget it.
I'm not irritated yet. Why are you mad?
They turned Qi Tian Fu into a...
I'm going to tear it down.
All right, don't get mad.
It's not suitable for you to do it.
Hand such a menial job to me.
I'll tear it down for you later.
We'd better get to business.
Let's go. Go.
Taishang Laojun.
Ancient Buddha Ran Deng's disciple invites you to a chess game.
It's not a holiday or festival... Why did he think of me out of the blue?
- Keep an eye on the Eight Diagrams Furnace. - Yes, sir.
Taishang Laojun, you're back already?
I haven't seen Ancient Buddha for a long time.
It's inappropriate to see him empty-handed.
Pick a few immortal pills as presents.
What kind of pills do you want to give him?
Well... I'll choose them myself.
You guys go out. Go out.
Yes, Taishang Laojun.
This is too small.
Talkative, why do you want to harm me?
- What's the matter? - It's on fire. Look.
Taishang Laojun...
Look at the place that's on fire there. Isn't that your place? Look!
What happened?
Above Ling Xiao Hall...
the way to 33-level sky...
Taishang Laojun's Dou Shuai Palace.
Well... then go check it out quickly!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Taishang Laojun...
Chatter...
Chatter, what's wrong with you?
Good. Job well done.
Let's get out of here.
Come on, Chatter. It's enough. Stop it.
Let's go.
What a powerful ax. Let's go. Quickly.
My immortal pills...
- My immortal pills... - Taishang Laojun...
- Taishang Laojun...
- You! You thief... - Taishang Laojun, please let go.
- Taishang Laojun... - You stole my immortal pills.
- Taishang Laojun, let go. Let go. - You're a thief...
Taishang Laojun, this is Er Lang Shen.
Feel better?
I felt like I was about to explode.
Lucky for you that you kneeled for a year.
You've accumulated a lot of power.
Or you would have exploded.
Will I be okay with eating so many pills?
The immortal pills are very powerful.
You can't stand it all of a sudden.
Gradually, they'll blend in with your blood and flesh
and turn into your own power.
It may take a year or so.
Did I ruin anything just now?
Just now?
You turned over Taishang Laojun's Eight Diagrams Furnace.
Didn't I take revenge for you, no I mean for Monkey King, then?
He'll appreciate it if he finds out.
Look. What's this?
An ax. What's so special about it?
It's the ax used by Taishang Laojun to chop firewood.
See if it fits you well.
It's quite heavy.
Choose the biggest tree to try it.
How's it? Isn't this ax incredible?
Such an incredible ax.
Do you think it can break the pillars imprisoning my mom?
I've never seen the pillars.
How do I know?
I think it can.
The ax is so sharp that it can break anything.
I can save my mom without their permission.
Talkative, I've saved a calabash for you.
This is for me, I...
Talkative doesn't like it anymore
Keep it for yourself.
- You take it. - Eat it.
Save up a few of them...
What for?
Only two are left.
It makes no big difference if I eat more or less.
I may need them in the future.
Keep them then.
We've got ourselves in a big trouble.
Er Lang Shen must have guessed it's done by us.
Go hide in Cave Cang Fa for now.
On the one hand, you can avoid heaven's arrest.
On the other hand, you can focus on adjusting yourself
blending the power of the pills with your body.
How's Taishang Laojun now?
Taishang Laojun is seriously ill and is deranged.
He keeps yelling 'Immortal pills...'
He calls whoever he sees thieves.
Who was so bold?
I suspect Mount E Mei's Monkey King is the culprit.
Do you have any evidence?
Deng Zhong and Xin Huan of South Heaven Gate
saw me and Monkey King entering from South Heaven Gate.
They also insulted me.
Then summon Deng Zhong, Xin Huan.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
- You may get up. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
- You tell them. - You tell them.
Your... Your Majesty.
I'm not so good with descriptions.
I'm afraid I can't describe the situation clearly.
Your Majesty, please allow us to replay the situation here.
- Right. Replay it. - Interesting. Granted.
- It's granted. - Let's start.
I'll be Monkey King and you'll be Er Lang Shen.
At that time, Er Lang Shen was like this, strutted through the South Heaven Gate.
Then Monkey King ran inside and shouted...
'Don't run, Yang Jian, get a beating.'
Er Lang Shen turned around and knelt down in front of Monkey King
He said, 'Spare my life, Monkey King...'
'Yang Jian won't set foot on Mount E Mei again.'
'Spare my life, Monkey King, spare my life.'
'You'll regret it if you come again.'
'I'll teach you a good lesson today.'
At this time... Monkey King pulled Er Lang Shen's ear.
'Go. Let's go see your uncle.'
'Monkey King, be gentle...'
Like this, those two... went inside the South Heaven Gate.
That monkey is really running wild.
Your Highness, as Er Lang Shen was faked Monkey King must be faked too.
I think Moon Fairy makes sense.
If Sun Wu Kong wanted to steal the immortal pills
he wouldn't show up at South Heaven Gate.
That may not be so.
Your Majesty, please allow me to go to Mount E Mei to investigate this matter.
Even if it was really done by Monkey King he'd hide the pills in a secret place.
What can you find by going to Mount E Mei?
I cannot be certain either.
I just hope to find something.
Forget it. Before we have any proof don't provoke that monkey.
If Taishang Laojun's immortal pills were really stolen by Monkey King and Chen Xiang
the consequences would be unimaginable.
Too bad about the Lotus Lantern.
Er Lang Shen, I have an idea. Why don't you try it?
What's the idea?
But you first have to find the Lotus Lantern.
And then?
The little fox swallowed the wick.
The wick must have blended with her body.
If we can subdue the fox and turn her blood into lamp oil...
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
It's when you mention the Lotus Lantern then I thought of such tricky idea.
The human world is so huge.
I wonder where Dog Fairy threw away the Lotus Lantern to.
Where do we start looking for it?
Lao Si, lead 10,000 heaven soldiers to Mount Wan Ku.
Check if the little fox has gone back there.
Yes, sir.
Lao Da, Lao Er, Lao Liu.
Each of you lead 10,000 heavenly soldiers disguised as mortals to look for the lantern.
Yes, sir.
Master.
I've told you I'm not your master.
I forgot again.
Succubus of Mount Hua, why are you always masked?
Because I don't want to show my face.
Even I can't see it?
Are you so beautiful that you're afraid men may see it and get wicked desires?
So you've covered your face up?
No.
You... do you hate her?
Who?
The one who gave him the sword.
I hated her at the very beginning.
But, when the truth about her stealing the Lotus Lantern's wick was revealed
I suddenly felt that she's a bit pitiful.
I can feel that she was reluctant to do it.
She returned Chen Xiang to me.
I am even a bit grateful to her.
Then, will you treat him nicely forever?
Of course. Have you ever fallen in love?
Then you should understand my feelings.
I could do anything for him.
I wouldn't care even if I risked my life.
You would even risk your own life?
If you lost your life, then whatever you've done will lose its meaning.
As long as he has me in his heart losing my life for him is meaningful.
Do you think he can forget the little fox?
You can sacrifice your life for him.
But that girl...
He can surely forget her.
You treat him so well.
He'll surely be willing to do anything for you.
That girl doesn't deserve his love.
No matter what she does to make it up she just doesn't deserve his love anymore.
Earthquake.
Chen Xiang, what are you doing?
What kind of martial arts are you practicing here?
You've broken my Buddhist towers.
What is happening?
Looks like it's from Mount E Mei in the human world.
There's a spurt of power shaking the whole universe.
Mount E Mei? It must be Monkey King again.
I wouldn't worry if it was Monkey King.
I'm just afraid... Your Majesty.
Whoever swallowed the immortal pills of Dou Shuai Palace
would bring a disaster to the universe.
You meant Chen Xiang?
Monkey King is already a Buddha.
I don't think he would break his word.
If he really did that, I'd take him to the Western Sky Buddha to reason.
Your Majesty, please allow me to lead 10,000 heaven soldiers to Mount E Mei
and bring Monkey King here for questioning.
Forget it.
Don't break the harmony between Buddhism and Taoism.
Tai Bai Jin Xing, you go to check it out.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty...
It's commendable Monkey King has turned a new leaf.
I'd be grateful if he doesn't act against heaven.
Don't force him to create a scene again.
Your Majesty...
- Fighting Buddha. - Tai Bai Jin Xing.
Is Jade Emperor frightened by my sneeze?
So he sent you here to check it out?
Sneeze? That was a really big one.
When I was practicing martial arts I broke the Buddhist tower accidentally.
I wanted to ask Heaven for another one but I was too embarrassed to ask.
So I fooled you to come down to replace it for me.
What do you say?
Is that true?
What advantage can I get by lying to you?
All right. I'll report it to Jade Emperor.
All right. Go quickly. Go quickly.
Fighting Buddha, behave yourself.
Behave myself. Go quickly, old man.
Old man, I want one in pure gold.
Pure gold.
It was just for the Buddhist towers?
Fighting Buddha said it himself and hoped that
you would give him two new ones made with pure gold.
Why should Heaven give him two gold towers?
As long as he stops creating troubles
not to mention two gold Buddhist towers
even 2000 of them, I'd give them to him.
Let's do this.
Tell Lu Ban to change the two gold towers for him.
Your Majesty, I think this matter is not so simple.
How about asking Er Lang Shen to investigate at Mount E Mei secretly?
Your Majesty, I think it's not suitable.
If Fighting Buddha finds out...
I'm afraid we'd be in endless troubles with him.
Tai Bai Jin Xing is right.
- Just go to Lu Ban quickly. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, someone has torn down Qi Tian Fu outside the Peach Garden
and released all the royal ducks.
The 8000 ducks are scattered all over.
That monkey must be holding a grudge so he's making a scene again.
Summon Er Lang Shen quickly.
- Catch all the 8000 ducks quickly. - Yes, Your Majesty.
There're ducks inside Ling Xiao Hall.
Catch them. Catch them now.
Catch them!
It's ridiculous. Catch the ducks quickly.
Catch them! There's one over there.
Why so many of you can't deal with a few ducks?
This duck is about to poop.
Ducky, no pooping.
Talkative, open up...
Aren't you Chen Xiang?
I finally see your real face.
You've been gone for three years. Where have you been?
Three years?
You can't remember the days?
Talkative, I've made it.
I've learned all the magic in your cave.
- Also, I just paid Heaven a visit. - You went to Heaven?
I went to Qi Tian Fu and released those 8000 ducks.
They're scattered all over Heaven.
Everyone in Heaven is busy catching ducks.
Er Lang Shen is leading his heavenly soldiers catching the ducks everywhere.
Good. You have taken up my style from the glorious old days.
Talkative, I've vented your anger for you.
Let's see who'd dare to insult you again.
Good kid.
Who's Talkative?
I think you're talking strange.
Talkative, why do you change attitude so suddenly?
I'm not Talkative. Stop being clingy.
Talkative, I have to leave for Mount Hua.
You're going to Mount Hua?
I'm going to use this ax to break down the cell and save my mom.
Then, I'll go after Er Lang Shen.
You're going to make a scene in Heaven?
I'm looking forward to the show.
I'll teach you one stance which is effective for dealing with Jade Emperor.
Right. Of course it has to be effective.
Or I'd have learned all the skills in vain.
- Exactly! - Thank you very much!
Now get going.
Fighting Buddha, if you come across Talkative
tell him that I'm leaving. I'll wait for him at the old spot. I need to talk to him.
Talkative, I know you've come. Talkative...
Chatter, congratulations. You've gained super power.
Your connection with Talkative should end here.
Why?
You have to know. Talkative has no other choices.
Can I see you again in the future?
It's better not to see each other.
Chatter, it's good that you treasure feelings.
But you must bear in mind that you can't be distracted by sentiments.
Otherwise, you may achieve nothing at all.
Talkative. I just want to see you before you leave.
I want to thank you in person. Talkative.
Talkative has heard it already.
Your body possesses huge power.
But you can't exploit them all for now.
You need to manage it from time to time.
With your martial arts and magic now, you should be equal to Er Lang Shen.
But you lack hands-on experience.
So you must keep in mind that in order to achieve greatness
you must have firm determination and have enough confidence and patience.
Without these, even with the strongest power...
what you possess is simply reckless power.
You must remember it firmly.
Talkative is leaving now.
Talkative...
Thank you, Talkative...
She looks familiar.
That's right. At Qinling, who kowtowed so hard and swore to God?
- Stop it. - I won't stop.
I can see your magic power is pretty good.
But, why use it to bother a human?
If you have guts, try it on me.
