Episode 18
Dad... Let go of me...
Help! Dad...
Young master Qian, please let my daughter go.
Get lost.
Young master Qian, please let my daughter go.
Get lost. Beat him.
Let go of me... Dad, help! Dad...
What are you looking at? Get out of the way.
The Succubus of Mount Hua is here.
Let go of me.
Let go of her.
All right, cousin.
We grew up together since we were babies.
Take off the cloth on your face now.
Why is it you can recognize me every time?
Qian Tian Fu, you're not afraid of me?
I tell you what.
I'm not the same cousin I used to be four years ago.
All right, for the sake of our elders I'll give you a chance.
If you don't change for the better
my sword won't recognize you as my cousin.
Cousin, quit pretending to have power and swindling around.
One day you say Pig Fairy is your master.
The next day you're seeing Nezha.
Later, you say Er Lang Shen is your enemy.
Okay, I beg you. Wake up, cousin.
Er Lang Shen is your enemy? Do you even qualify?
- Er Lang Shen is her enemy? - Unbelievable.
I won't address you as 'Cousin' anymore.
Why do you know martial arts?
Stop making a fool of yourself with such low-grade skills.
Good job.
You... wait and see. Let's go.
- Great. That's justice. - Good job.
Miss, you can get up now.
Are you all right?
Take it.
- I can't accept it. - Take it. Here, take it.
- Thank you, Succubus of Mount Hua. - Get up, get up.
Go home then.
Master.
Here you come again. I told you I'm not your master.
Yes, Succubus of Mount Hua.
Qian Tian Fu has learned martial arts from someone.
Without your help, I wouldn't have beaten him.
It's all my fault.
Do you still remember in Qinling that evil monk who sucked baby brains?
Yes.
I thought he could turn a new leaf, so I let him go.
But he's learned from a devil for two years.
Now, he's come to take revenge on me.
What's that got to do with Qian Tian Fu?
He is now staying at Qian Tian Fu's home and has him collect newborns for him.
Within the last ten days
tens of babies have been murdered by them around Mount Hua.
Why don't you get rid of them?
I wanted to kill both of them the other night.
But when I was about to do it, I heard the evil monk say his master was coming.
I thought the evil monk's master wouldn't be a good guy, either.
So I think I will lure the master out and get rid of them all.
But it seems we can't wait anymore.
Why?
There'll be three babies born today around Mount Hua.
If they go murder the babies separately I can't handle it alone.
Qian Tian Fu only studied martial arts for a short time.
Why couldn't I beat him?
Because he sucks baby brains too.
Why didn't you take the chance to kill him?
I want to use him to lure his master out.
Oh yes, Ding Xiang, go home quickly.
They'll go to your home to get even.
All right. Yes.
Open up. Young mistress. Open the door.
Young mistress, open the door.
Ding Xiang... Ding Xiang, open the door.
You worry about me or your nephew?
Ding Xiang, stop it. You can't beat them.
Er Lang Shen, you're watching the drama too?
Young mistress, open the door now.
This way.
Master, that's her.
She looks familiar.
That's right. At Qinling... who kowtowed so hard and swore to God?
- Stop it. - I won't stop.
Cousin, there're so many masters in the world.
Why did you pick the one who only knew how to kowtow?
Look, his head is bald from too much kowtow.
How dare you?
I've looked for you for two years. You finally show up.
Master, beat her up.
I haven't seen you for two years, you've improved.
Fairy, spare my life. Fairy...
Fairy, spare my life...
- I didn't get it wrong, did I? - Spare my life...
Spare my life, Fairy. I won't do that again.
Master, what's wrong?
You have magic power too.
- Thank you. - Why thank me?
Because I dare not kill.
Move.
You two have murdered so many babies.
- It's the time to pay for your debts. - Fairy, spare my life...
- Qian Tian Fu is running away. - Kill him.
Qian Tian Fu is running away...
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.
Kill him...
Don't hurt the Succubus of Mount Hua.
Qian Tian Fu is getting away.
- Stop. Don't hurt her. - That was a bad guy.
What are you doing? She's a devil.
Beat him. Beat him up.
Excuse me. Let me through.
Stop hitting. Stop it. Stop.
That's Ms. Ding. Stop.
Stop it.
Ms. Ding knows this man?
Why does he want to hurt the Succubus of Mount Hua?
Why haven't you sent a letter? It's been four years.
I don't have anyone to send it for me.
Come to my home first. My mom wants to meet you.
Don't go. Don't let him go.
Accomplice.
- Really? - Really!
I don't know this man. You do what needs to be done.
Beat him up. Beat him up.
Quick, let's run.
You are so ungrateful, Liu Chen Xiang.
Why didn't you check who she was going to kill?
That human has committed many sins.
Lately, in order to practice magic powers, he murdered tens of babies.
And you wanted to save him?
- I didn't know. - Didn't know?
Succubus of Mount Hua subdued the god who guarded your mom
and cared for your mom for three years. She's done more than I have.
She subdued devils and monsters around Mount Hua
ridden diseases and disasters, helped people.
It's ridiculous for you to have hurt her.
It seems I'm really ungrateful.
Can you be more careful in the future?
I remember you weren't like this before.
You have some power now and that's how you are now?
Teacher Ding is right.
I'll think carefully before I take action.
All right. All right. Let's go home.
- You... - I really didn't mean it.
What's wrong with you?
Look at me.
I'd better save my mom first.
We'll come to your home together.
You go to see San Sheng Mu like this?
You should changed first. Let's go.
Let's go.
You're a girl. In public...
Who's he?
- He's Liu... - Whoever he is, you can't hold his hand.
Is he Mr. Liu Yan Chang's son?
- Liu Chen Xiang? - I'm Chen Xiang, how do you do?
Please come in quickly.
Wicked girl. You should have told me.
Come in please. Ding An, get some tea.
This way.
You're hurt.
Has Er Lang Shen come?
No, I came to say farewell.
That means... he has come.
Right. So I should leave.
Who hurt you? Did he do it?
No, he didn't know it was me.
Is your injury serious?
I can handle it.
Do you have a message for me to pass to him?
Don't mention to him anything about me.
Thank you for caring me these three years.
And thank you for the good deeds you did for the people of Mount Hua.
I'll leave as soon as I've recovered.
San Sheng Mu, please take care.
You too, take care.
Young lady...
Remember, you don't owe him anything anymore.
You don't need to feel guilty anymore.
You look great. Mom... Look.
Come.
I didn't know it would fit you so well.
These are the clothes that my dad wore.
I wonder how my dad looked in them.
These are the clothes that my dad wore.
I wonder if my dad looked nice in them too.
What are you thinking?
Nothing.
Young mistress...
Young mistress, bad news.
What happened?
Er Lang Shen has died.
How did he die?
- He hanged himself. - He hang himself?
Let's go.
Don't misunderstand.
It's a stray dog that Ding Xiang found.
She named him Er Lang Shen.
Er Lang Shen, why are you so silly?
Young mistress, stop crying. Accept the death.
Why did he end up here?
You know him?
That's Dog Fairy.
Stand there. Don't come over here.
Isn't this Dog Fairy who was evicted to the human world?
Stop wasting time. I'm in a hurry to see God of Death.
How do you do, Er Lang Shen?
God of Death, what can I do for you?
- I came to send a message. - For whom?
For Dog Fairy. He said he tracked down Chen Xiang.
- Where? - Well... he didn't tell me.
So clever of him.
You may leave. I'll pick him up at the Hades.
- Goodbye then. - Wait a minute.
How's Liu Yan Chang doing at your place?
According to your instruction...
I put him at the eighteenth level of Hades...
and have made him suffer without rest.
Has he ever pleaded for mercy?
Well... he's never pleaded for mercy.
Use all the cruelest tortures on him.
Don't let him off until he pleads for mercy.
Yes, sir.
Listen up, everyone.
San Sheng Mu's son has acquired martial arts skills and has come to save her.
Let's encourage him.
If I had known he's gone to Mount Hua...
I would have saved the trouble from asking all of you to come back.
Master.
It's all right this way. You all go with Dog fairy.
You must bring back the Lotus Lantern.
- Remember, no more mistakes. - Yes, sir.
Er Lang Shen, if Chen Xiang has eaten Taishang Laojun's immortal pills...
Even if Monkey King came this time...
I guarantee he wouldn't get out of Mount Hua.
Are you confident in saving San Sheng Mu?
Yes, this is the ax Taishang Laojun uses to chop firewood.
It's extraordinarily sharp.
That's great. We've set up a grand show.
If you can't bring back San Sheng Mu it will be embarrassing.
Don't worry.
Hurry up. Hurry up.
San Sheng Mu...
Mom, Chen Xiang is here to take you home.
Er Lang Shen's breath is still here.
It's not just the breath here today.
Not a breath? Is it a drop of blood?
No, it is a heart.
Heart? You put your heart here?
Then where's your heart in your body?
Right, you don't have conscience anyway.
You still don't understand what heart means.
It could mean love and ambition. Both are ruled by the heart.
Then what kind of heart is yours?
You won't have the chance to know.
How many times have you boasted?
You really don't get embarrassed, do you?
Chen Xiang, I assure you this is the last time.
Can you hear the drums out there?
So many people are waiting for my mom.
I'm bring her out in style this time.
If I failed, you needn't take action.
I'd be so ashamed that I'd kill myself.
That's called arrogance.
All famous masters' disciples have this problem.
Being so proud as a cub, Chen Xiang, you'll pay for your arrogance.
Just like what you've said, you won't be able to face the people of Mount Hua.
I think you'll be the one who loses face.
I have a challenge for you like last time.
If you can pass the challenge, you'll see her.
If you fail, you'll be locked up.
Chen Xiang, think it over carefully whether you're going ahead or retreating.
Of course I'm going ahead.
What do you fear the most?
Thank you for the courage you've given me.
Now, I am not afraid of anything.
Really?
There are 5,000 books here.
The first challenge for you is...
you have to memorize all 5000 books completely.
If you recite one wrong word, you will fail.
If you can't pass this challenge you'll be locked up here forever.
5,000 books? How long will it take me?
If you can finish one in two days, it will take about 30 years.
I understand now.
You want to lock me up here forever.
So I can never save my mom.
If you can get out, you'll still have the chance.
When I get out, it'll be 50 years later.
It's up to you.
There's a rich collection of books here.
The classics, poetry, the art of war
biographies of historical figures
and the paths to wisdom of various gods, etc.
Take your time.
5,000 books.
How long will it take me to recite them all?
When can I get out to save my mom?
5,000 books.
What should I do?
Chatter, to achieve something great
you must have firm determination and enough confidence and patience.
Without these, even with the strong power
what you possess is simply reckless power.
Determination.
Patience.
Bring it on.
Er Lang Shen, come on out.
- I've passed this challenge. - You've recited them all?
That's right. Without a missing word.
The third book in the first row on the left.
What's on the ninth line on page eight?
'Chu Sai' by Shang Yang of the Legalist school.
A king and his subjects have different logic.
But they both have to follow some rules.
The thirty-sixth book in the second row on the right.
What's on the thirteenth line on page 20?
The poem by South Tang's King Li Yu.
How much sorrow one can bear?
It's like a river running to the east.
The seventy-second book in the third row on the right.
The fourth line from the end on page 36.
The Legends of Military Kings.
A sentence said by King Shang Zhou to Da Ji.
Beauty, how is your health?
It's unbelievable that he passed.
I'm surprised you actually passed the challenge.
But there's one thing I don't understand.
You hate studying so much.
How could you memorize 5,000 books?
Right. There are 5,000 books in all.
With determination, confidence and patience...
I could even memorize 50,000 books.
It seems I miscalculated.
You miscalculated indeed.
My beard grows longer and longer every day.
The knowledge I learn also grows more and more every day.
The more knowledge I learn, the happier I am.
What's happened to my beard?
It's been almost eight hours.
Why hasn't there been any movement?
I'll go in to check it out.
No. You'll just add trouble to him.
You've gained a big advantage.
You used only six hours to learn what others can't finish in 30 years.
Six hours?
Right. You entered an illusory time-space.
For this challenge, I designed it with
my own determination, confidence and patience.
Chen Xiang, by passing this challenge
you've gained determination, confidence and patience too.
You can go to see your mom now.
- Mom. - Chen Xiang.
Mom.
- Mom. - Chen Xiang.
Mom, I passed Er Lang Shen's challenge.
Now, I will rescue you out of here.
Chen Xiang, you can't save mom.
This is Taishang Laojun's ax. It's extremely sharp.
It can surely break the shining pillars.
No, you can't break it.
Mom, step back.
Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang...
Young mistress, be careful.
Young mistress, let's leave here.
Chen Xiang, don't!
Something's happened at Mount Hua.
Let's go quickly to check it out.
Why did it not work?
Chen Xiang, you can't save mom.
I don't believe it...
Chen Xiang, stop it!
Mom.
You've already caused a landslide.
The people of Mount Hua will suffer if you continue.
Mom, I'm sorry. I'm so useless.
Don't be sad.
I'm content to have seen how you're now.
Chen Xiang, where are you going?
I'm going to ask Heaven to release you.
No. Come back.
If they refuse to release you, I'll do what Monkey King did 800 years ago.
- I'll turn Heaven upside down. - Come back, Chen Xiang.
You'll only create a bigger disaster then.
Chen Xiang, don't go there.
Mom, in order to save you
I've lost the Lotus Lantern, and Fourth Aunt died for me.
Mom, it's not fair. I can't let go.
Chen Xiang, don't be anxious.
You'll be able to save mom some day.
But it isn't the right time now.
Even if you saved me now
I would still be guilty of violating Heaven's law.
Heaven will still punish us.
Then, how long will I have to wait?
Chen Xiang, although I have violated Heaven's law.
I've insisted that I didn't commit any wrongs.
When Heaven finally understands this they'll take the initiative to pardon me.
I can then live a peaceful life with you.
If you are not wrong, then Heaven must be wrong.
Actually, I've been wondering who was wrong and what was the mistake.
I've been thinking for 20 years with no answer.
Chen Xiang, when you can understand it.
Then it would be the time to save me.
Also, if you want to save me.
It won't work to fight against Heaven.
Ding Xiang.
Mei Shan Brothers and Dog Fairy have arrived.
Leave quickly.
Chen Xiang, Mei Shan Brothers and Dog Fairy have arrived. Let's leave now.
Great. I'll teach them a good lesson.
Chen Xiang, you forgot what I just told you?
Don't fight with them.
Leave quickly.
No matter what happens, don't fight with them.
Hasn't Dog Fairy died?
Leave quickly now, Ding Xiang.
If you don't, Chen Xiang can't get out.
Seniors, here you are.
- Chen Xiang is in there. - Let's go.
Go away quickly.
Come on, let's go. Quickly!
- Let's go... - Go check it inside. Let's go.
San Sheng Mu, where's Chen Xiang?
He's gone.
Gone? He can't run away.
He hasn't died yet. Don't let that bee escape.
Kill him.
What should we do? Think of something!
Hurry up. Set a fire. Burn them to death.
Put out the fire quickly. Pour water...
Quickly.
Pour water...
Lao Si, remove the door. Lao Si.
- Remove the door. Hurry! - Okay.
Let's get out.
Out of here, quick!
It seems he's now more powerful than Monkey King.
We can't fight him directly.
Then what do we do?
What do we do?
Dog Fairy, are you here to thank me?
There's no need.
You are Xiao Yu?
No, I am Succubus of Mount Hua.
Succubus of Mount Hua?
You'd better go quickly. Or you won't make it.
