Episode 20
This Ling Xiao Hall is like a coffin.
I'm bored to death by it.
Let's go out for some fresh air.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, the sun is up. Time to get up.
- Come, Your Majesty. - Be careful, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty...
You just said to pardon San Sheng Mu and Nezha, invite Chen Xiang to be an officer.
Please don't forget.
- I said it? - Yes, your words are divine.
You have to keep your promises.
Why can't I remember saying it?
You could remember if you say it a few times.
- Dog Fairy told you all these. - Dog Fairy?
Or, just think again what you said.
- Pardon San Sheng Mu. Pardon Nezha. - Right...
- Invite Chen Xiang to be an officer. - Right...
Don't forget to pardon San Sheng Mu.
Your Majesty, say it a few more times.
Pardon San Sheng Mu.
- Pardon San Sheng Mu. - Right...
- Your Majesty, can you still hold court? - Of course.
Pardon San Sheng Mu.
Er Lang Shen, His Majesty is drunk.
About pardoning San Sheng Mu, let's wait until after he's awake.
Master, I'm really innocent.
Before you went to court I was waiting beside you.
Er Lang Shen.
Maybe Chen Xiang turned into Dog Fairy's appearance and went to see Jade Emperor.
Do you want to report it to Jade Emperor?
Whether it is true or fake, he said it already. The Emperor must keep his word.
Telling the truth will only embarrass him.
I think we should keep our mouths shut.
We shouldn't tell the Jade Emperor but we still should tell Her Highness
that Chen Xiang cheated the Jade Emperor.
That way he won't be able to become an officer.
Dog Fairy.
Go to Mount Hua once more.
If you can't find the Lotus Lantern this time, don't come back.
Yes, Master.
I'll leave too.
Master.
Master!
How can the youngsters nowadays not think clearly before they act?
Chen Xiang is the same.
Having changed some bad habits, he gets some new ones.
Having learned a few ways to fight, he has become so arrogant.
- No... - You too.
You are two years older than he is.
- You should have stopped him. - No, I...
Enough! No need to say anything.
Nobody can save you two now.
Even Buddha cannot save you two.
Master, is it really that serious?
My stupid disciple...
Compared to what San Sheng Mu did, this is 100 times more serious.
Think about it.
Chen Xiang scolded Her Highness in front of others.
He made her so embarrassed.
How can she rest without killing him?
Master, will this secret be known so easily?
Think about it, Jade Emperor was drunk.
He doesn't remember anything.
I think you got drunk.
You have to be careful just in case.
All right. Pack your things and leave.
Remember, once you go beyond this door don't tell anybody that you are my disciple.
Master, where do you want me to go?
You and Chen Xiang are like two ants on a string.
You two are stuck together.
I think, you two still have to stay together.
Who is going to go with him?
- Ao Chun, do you still want to revenge? - Yes.
Yes, then you should stay together.
If you go to Er Lang Shen like this.
You will be dead for sure.
Now that Chen Xiang is so powerful you can make use of his power.
Although Er Lang Shen is totally rotten to the bones.
He is still Chen Xiang's uncle.
Chen Xiang may not be able to kill him.
Ao Chun, only you can do it.
May Buddha forgive me.
How can I teach someone this idea?
Ao Chun, just now Master had said nothing.
You didn't hear anything, either.
Can I go with you to find your mom together?
When I see you wearing my dad's clothes and carrying my mom's sword
it's just like seeing them again.
She covered her face because she didn't want anyone to see her face.
Here... I'll have a quick look...
I promise not to tell anyone, all right?
I should have known it's you.
But why didn't I think of it?
Chen Xiang.
It's really you. Chen Xiang!
It's really you. Chen Xiang.
He's back.
Chen Xiang, you're back.
We haven't seen you for years. You've grown up.
Has my dad ever come back over these years?
Well...
[Liu Yan Chang's grave]
Dad.
He came back about a year after you two left.
How did this happen?
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm so willful, I'm so stubborn, Dad!
What are you doing, Chen Xiang?
My dad can't be dead.
- Don't be like this. - Get away.
Chen Xiang, you're disrespecting your dad.
Chen Xiang, don't be like this.
Chen Xiang, you are committing a sin.
This is not possible.
I put your dad inside myself.
Could he be stolen by tomb thieves?
Everyone knows you have the Lotus Lantern.
Everyone wants to get it.
What nonsense! Who would steal a corpse?
Fourth Aunt's body is missing.
My dad's body is missing, too.
My dad must still be alive.
Tonight, I'll go to Hades and check.
[Liu's lantern shop]
Is this Liu Chen Xiang's home?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Ding Xiang, are you all right?
- I'm all right. - That's good.
Did you know?
It was Jade Emperor who ordered our release.
Er Lang Shen shouldn't give us trouble anymore.
You don't seem surprised at all.
Surprised. I'm very surprised.
Does he live here?
Yes. But he's gone to the graveyard.
To the graveyard? To pay tribute to ancestors?
I don't know. Probably.
How about we buy some grocery?
- We'll cook dinner and wait for him. - Cook?
I remembered you didn't know how to cook before.
Ding Xiang, do you really know how to do housework?
Here. Put it down first.
And that one.
- You wash the vegetables. I'll cut them. - All right.
What's wrong?
How can you be so careless?
Does it hurt?
Chen Xiang.
Why are you two here?
It's not like that.
You're back.
We heard that you had gone to the graveyard.
One more cup.
Can you feel the Shun Tian nectar slowly, smoothly going down your throat?
Can you see the peaceful view of the universe?
Like the cries of babies?
- Joyful laughs of the elderly. - No.
How about...
- The bird's singing and flower's scents? - Nothing.
Nothing? That's impossible.
Come.
Bring me the great wine of 88,880 years ago.
What?
Your Majesty, I don't know where it is.
What?
You knew where it was when His Majesty wanted it.
You don't know where it is when I want it?
Please forgive me, Your Highness. I really don't know where it is.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Your Majesty, these two tricked you and got you dead drunk.
I think, this is a heinous crime.
If you don't evict them to the human world
these fairies and officers will become even more arrogant.
Forgive me, Your Highness...
I don't think it is necessary.
I was the one who wanted a drink. Don't blame them.
From now on, I won't drink anymore.
- You can get up. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
But San Sheng Mu must not be pardoned.
I must have been really drunk.
How did I say such a thing?
That wasn't all.
In front of all deities, you said such nasty things.
- I scolded someone? - What do you think?
I didn't do it.
You did. You'd never talked to me like that!
- I scolded you? - Yes.
- No. I didn't. - All deities heard it.
Impossible. Why don't I remember anything?
Your Majesty.
Just leave these cases about love and emotions to me to handle, all right?
I don't believe I can't stop it from happening again.
It's all right to let you to handle.
But I already said to pardon San Sheng Mu.
If you handle this, then San Sheng Mu...
I will be very embarrassed then.
In the future...
When you go to court tomorrow your Majesty can say you were drunk.
The edict was placed quite hastily.
Then bring this case for all deities to discuss.
The deities will understand what you mean.
If Your Majesty withdraws that decision and grant me the power...
Nobody will refuse to accept it at that time.
If all of them think we should pardon San Sheng Mu?
Then your Majesty can keep your promise.
I don't want act against what everyone else is for.
All right then.
We'll let all deities decide the fate of San Sheng Mu.
Do you remember what he looked like?
I might recognize him when I see him.
You can stop doing business.
Just stand here every day.
The moment you recognize him this gold will belong to you.
Go. Go look for him.
I'm going to Hades to check where my dad is.
I'm going too.
You don't need to. She'll be afraid.
She's not even afraid of Er Lang Shen. Who can she be afraid of?
Mortals aren't afraid of the gods, but are afraid of ghosts.
Where's Chen Xiang?
He's gone to Hades.
My Lord.
- Where's Liu Yan Chang? - Here.
- Where? - Behind you.
We've followed your order to give him the cruelest punishments in hell every day.
I haven't rested over these four years.
God of Death, if you still have other nasty methods you can use them all.
Even if Liu Yan Chang is torn into many pieces...
- I won't kneel down and beg you. - Shut up.
Dad!
Sorry, Chen Xiang is late coming here.
Chen Xiang...
Dad, I'll release you now.
- Dad, how are you doing? - I'm all right.
Who's that? Who dares to intrude the eighteenth level of hell?
Dad, I'll carry you out from this eighteenth level of hell now.
Are you the evil brat of Liu Yan Chang and San Sheng Mu, Liu Chen Xiang?
Evil brat?
Today, I'll show you how strong this evil brat is.
Go. Go.
- Go. - Go.
- There's another one. - Another one.
Block him from me.
Hurry.
You take my dad and run. I'll stay behind.
There's only one left?
Kill. Kill him! Get rid of this one!
I'll take on as many as I can.
I'll ruin your eighteenth level of hell.
Shut the door. Shut the door.
Hurry.
Chen Xiang, how dare you?
Master Liu, the eighteenth level of hell is ruined.
Please spare the Book Room.
I'll destroy Book Room today!
Don't be afraid, Lord. I'll handle him.
Master Liu, you can't. Master Liu...
Master Liu, please don't do it.
- Hell is gone if you destroy the Book. - Right.
Yes. Isn't it better without Hell?
Mortals won't die then. What's wrong?
There'll only be births in human world.
Years later, human world will be too crowded.
There will be no place to grow food
- and no place to even stand. - He's right.
Mortals can't eat, can't sleep
won't starve to death, have to endure torments forever.
- Won't it be even worse than dying? - He's right.
All right then, I won't crush it.
Good. This is good. This is good.
Wait, I'll just crush one volume.
- This won't affect all universes. - This...
The Liu's Village!
- Don't crush it! - Disasters!
- Mr. Liu came back from hell. - Really?
Thanks. Thanks to everyone.
Thanks for burying Liu Yan Chang four years ago.
All strange things happen to your family.
Chen Xiang!
This one is Miss Ding Xiang?
Mr. Liu, I've heard Chen Xiang mention you often.
Please go inside. Please go inside.
You're an elder, please enter first.
Good manners. Everyone, please come in.
That's him!
What are you doing?
Give me the lantern you bought.
- What lantern? - The one bought from that store.
- You mean that lantern? - Yes.
- I sold it. - Sold to whom?
To a famous person in our town.
The eldest daughter of Ding's family. You know of her?
Ding Xiang?
Madam, Er Lang Shen's alive again.
Madam, Young mistress said that he is not Er Lang Shen. He is Dog Fairy.
What should we do?
Young mistress was captured by him.
I'll beat him up.
Get something to beat the dog.
Beat the dog!
Over there.
I'll beat you up.
Hit him... Hit him...
Madam. Dog Fairy, don't be ungrateful.
Give me Lotus Lantern and I'll let her go.
Madam.
You can't. That belongs to San Sheng Mu.
Madam, Young mistress says it's useless now.
Give it to him for now.
If we give it to him, how are we going to explain to Chen Xiang?
- Madam. - Hurry up and get it!
I'll count to three, I'll kill her if I don't see it.
Don't count. I'll go to get it.
Dog Fairy, when you were in distress how did we treat you? Release me.
I have no choice. I don't want to do this either.
- Ding An. - Good.
- Release Madam and I'll give you. - Don't give him.
Give me.
If all deities think San Sheng Mu should be pardoned, then let's pardon her.
Yang Jian.
Go to Mount Hua to bring back San Sheng Mu.
It will be just in time for the Peach Ceremony.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I asked Flower Fairy to prepare the Peach Ceremony.
There's still no news after a long time.
Moon Fairy, you go to ask again.
If she's sick of being the leader of all flowers
I can immediately make a change.
Disaster! Disaster!
That Liu Chen Xiang from the Liu's Village
together with Eighth Prince from the East Ocean
have ruined the eighteenth level of Hell.
They saved Liu Yan Chang's soul.
They released millions of demon ghosts.
How dare they? That's an act against Heaven.
Yang Jian.
- Don't release San Sheng Mu yet. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Where is that Liu Chen Xiang now?
I've asked two Soul-takers of Hades to follow him.
Liu Chen Xiang has returned to Liu's Village.
Please order heaven's soldiers to capture those demons now
to maintain Heaven's prestige.
Your Majesty, if we don't get rid of him, he will be a big problem.
- Yang Jian. - Present!
Take 50,000 soldiers immediately.
You must capture Chen Xiang and all the demons.
- If they resist, kill them right there. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty. - What's the matter?
- Er Lang Shen's mission is improper. - What's wrong?
One, Er Lang Shen failed repeatedly to capture Chen Xiang.
There must be some secrets behind it.
Two, even if Er Lang Shen's doing his job with integrity
it is not good for an uncle to capture his nephew.
It will damage the reputation of the God of Justice.
I recommend two others who can arrest Chen Xiang.
Who?
If you let King Li Jing command and his third prince Nezha as vanguard
I'm sure they can capture Chen Xiang.
Moon Fairy, you know that Nezha got punished for harboring Chen Xiang.
Now you recommend him to capture Chen Xiang.
What are you up to?
Er Lang Shen, before Chen Xiang had powers you let him escape many times.
Now that he has powers, for you to capture him...
Your Majesty, how about letting Li Jing and Yang Jian go together.
Good idea.
Let Li Jing and Yang Jian go together.
Li Jing is the main commander, Yang Jian the deputy.
Include Nezha and Mei Shan Brothers too.
Take 50,000 soldiers to capture Chen Xiang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- God of Death, you can leave. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Chen Xiang ruined Hell. Why didn't you report to me first?
Lao Da.
Why was Liu Yan Chang's body in the canal?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
I threw his body to the Liu's Village.
The villagers buried him.
I really didn't know how it ended up in the canal.
Er Lang Shen, let's think of what lies ahead first.
It doesn't matter if Nezha will help Chen Xiang
we cannot let him get the chance first.
Right, if they can capture Chen Xiang
Er Lang Shen will be suspected of harboring Chen Xiang.
The four of you personally choose 6,000 powerful heaven soldiers.
Go to the Liu's Village now and capture Chen Xiang and Eighth Prince.
Now that it's dark in the human world.
Liu Yan Chang and Ding Xiang are burdens on his side.
Let's see where they can run this time.
- Er Lang Shen, just us and... - 6,000 heaven soldiers!
Even I could be captured, not to mention Chen Xiang.
Yes, sir.
Master...
I'll go out for a while.
- Master, you want me to go with you? - No need.
Who is it?
- It's you. - You.
It looks like you are going to deploy soldiers.
Who ordered you to deploy soldiers?
It's none of your business.
Fine. I'll ask Jade Emperor now.
See if it is my business as the vanguard.
He's found out. What do we do?
- Go back and ask Er Lang Shen. - Okay, let's go.
- Dad, a toast. - Here.
Chen Xiang, now that Ding Xiang is here too.
I'm thinking of choosing a good day and host the wedding for you.
Dad, I'd like to rescue my mom first.
Come.
Good. This is my concubine, Princess Jade.
- Er Lang Shen, enjoy. - Thanks.
Take care, beauty.
It's been so long.
- Why hasn't the killing started? - Kill?
- Kill who? - Don't pretend to be stupid.
I've released your wife. Are you breaking your promise?
Old Bull, are you scared?
I'm scared? Who can scare me?
But, that's the sacred root of all flowers.
Moon Fairy is my enemy.
Her trip to Suzhou this time. I'm sure she will report to Heaven
that Flower Fairy is missing.
If you don't do it soon and let it get exposed, the result will be disastrous.
Her Highness will ask me to check.
I will say I can't find her right away.
Peach Ceremony's coming up, she'll assign another Flower Fairy.
I'll just grab any two demons and force them to sign a confession.
This case can be closed then.
Do you understand?
Yes...
Liu Chen Xiang, come out!
You ruined the eighteenth level of Hell.
And burned the Book Room. Your crime is serious.
Come out, follow me to Heaven for forgiveness.
Dog Fairy, I'll kill this ungrateful dog.
- Don't move. - Just you here?
What? Just me is not enough?
Dog Fairy, you came here by yourself today.
I'm going to kill you. Don't blame me.
Let's see if you are capable of doing it.
Let's go. Follow me inside.
- What are you doing? - I sure am going in.
- What are you doing? - Go inside. I'm all right.
How did you know it's me?
Because your eyes don't look like Dog Fairy's.
Besides, you just got released.
Why so many people here?
You saw clearly?
Master, I saw very clearly.
Why did Dog Fairy secretly go to the Liu's Village alone?
Want me to ask Er Lang Shen?
Come here.
When Chen Xiang ruined Hell I didn't tell him.
So he is intending to blame me.
But he also let Dog Fairy go to Liu's Village.
What is he actually planning?
If he really conspires with Chen Xiang, then...
After all, he is still Chen Xiang's uncle.
- What if... - Yes.
You are having a drink alone?
Tell me what you want.
I've come to ask for your help.
I don't want to get involved in your affairs.
Eighth Prince.
Master told me to look for you in Liu's Village.
I don't know why I listened to him.
If it were not for Ding Xiang
maybe I could still get along with you just like in the past.
But...
Chen Xiang, I've forgiven you about my sister.
I'm avoiding you so that I can feel better.
I've made many mistakes.
There are two mistakes that I can't forgive myself.
What if I really need your help?
Eighth Prince.
Together, we've encountered so much together.
Chen Xiang, for the sake of our past friendship
drop your weapon and give yourself up.
Third prince, this is not proper.
Mr. Liu, you cannot go up.
- Mr. Liu... - If you go now, maybe Chen Xiang...
Let's go home first.
Xiao Yu, how are you?
Xiao Yu, it's me.
Chen Xiang? Chen Xiang...
Xiao Yu...
What have they done to you?
