[Lotus Lantern]
Episode 21
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 were two mistakes that I couldn't forgive myself.
One was the death of Fourth Aunt.
Another one, was giving Ding Xiang that promise.
Eighth prince, I really want you two to be together.
Because you really love her. Just like I really love Xiao Yu.
I know.
You've been giving us chances to be together.
But I can only see you in her eyes.
Maybe this can be changed.
Please don't come to look for me anymore.
What if I really need your help?
Eighth Prince, we've encountered so many things together.
When we faced Dog Fairy, you always let me and Xiao Yu go first.
Actually, at that time you were no match for Dog Fairy.
But as long as you were around, I felt very safe.
With you at my side, I feared nothing.
I think of you like my elder brother.
With you at my side, I could rely on you.
You are now more powerful than I am.
You don't need to rely on me anymore.
But when I need help, I could think of no one else.
Aunt Flower Fairy has been missing for four years.
Maybe Er Lang Shen is conspiring with the Bull King.
I have to rescue her.
Now that God of Death has accused me in Heaven.
Heaven's sending Er Lang Shen and Li Jing together to capture me.
They'll arrive in Liu's Village in the morning.
I want to take this chance to save Aunt Flower Fairy with Nezha.
Eighth prince, I need you.
Help me take Ding Xiang and my dad out of the village.
It will be dawn soon. I'll wait for you in the village.
- Hurry. Keep up. - It's all because of Chen Xiang.
Heavenly soldiers are coming to capture Chen Xiang.
It's disloyal of us to just run away.
Who do you think you are? If you don't go, how can you help him?
You will just add to his trouble.
We've been playing together since we were young.
If anything goes wrong... we can at least collect his corpse.
Chen Xiang...
Why are you back? Leave now. Or it'll be too late. Leave now.
We didn't come to help you. We'll just watch.
- They can't be unreasonable. - Right.
That Er Lang Shen can do all sorts of evil things.
Leave now or it'll be too late. Hurry!
- Go. Go. - We'll leave then.
Hurry...
Chen Xiang, these are the Heavenly soldiers?
Chen Xiang, look on the sake of our past friendship
drop your weapon and I'll be easy on you.
Third Prince, this is not proper.
Third Prince, you violated Heaven's law for me in the past.
I should let you arrest me today.
But I still have to save my mom.
That's why we are forced to fight each other.
Please don't blame me.
In this case, we shall fight to see who wins.
Nobody would ever believe that our Chen Xiang and Nezha are fighting each other.
Right.
Why haven't you left yet?
- Nezha, sorry to take you hostage. - All right.
Bravo!
Chen Xiang, release Third Prince.
King Li Jing. I didn't want to do this originally.
But you have too many soldiers, I have no choice.
If you don't retreat, I'll kill Third Prince.
Chen Xiang, if you don't release Third prince, I'll kill your companions.
Kill us?
What? You don't believe me?
- Doggy... - I'll kill one to show you.
Don't kill the innocent.
Doggy...
Doggy, are you all right?
You... you are forcing him to kill Third Prince.
I surely have no such intention.
Er Lang Shen, I am the chief commander.
Without my order, you cannot kill any human.
Or, I'll punish you by court martial.
Doggy...
Doggy, sorry I caused harm for you.
- I am getting married next month. Now... - Doggy...
Yang Jian, come out. Fight with me one on one.
Loser!
- Doggy... - I have to see my mom.
I'd better go by myself.
- Doggy... - I have to see my mom.
Chen Xiang, you keep at it.
You are not going to die. Come watch me take revenge for you.
God of Death said that Chen Xiang had destroyed
- the Book of Life and Death of Liu's Village. - That's right.
I've destroyed the Book of Life and Death of Liu's Village.
The villagers will not die.
We wouldn't die...
Chen Xiang, since we wouldn't die, let's help Chen Xiang fight the Heavenly soldiers.
- Go. Go get the weapons. - Let's go.
I'll get more people.
Chen Xiang, I fell into your trap. Let's fight again!
King Li Jing, what should we do?
You can't kill me.
Human swords can't kill me, either.
Zui Xian Hotel is 50 miles west. I'll wait for you there.
Flying cloud.
Who said Monkey King did not teach him. Come on!
- Bull King? - Why, you know him well?
When Monkey King and his master was trapped at Flame Mountain
I helped to teach him a lesson.
- How much power does he have? - Honestly speaking, I cannot beat him.
But everything has is own natural enemy.
If that old Bull meets my Universe Ring...
- That's great! - So what's your plan?
Listen, I must rescue Aunt Flower Fairy.
If Heaven finds out about this, they will also rescue Flower Fairy. Right?
You mean you work with Heaven to rescue her?
Right. If I help Heaven to rescue her then the credit goes to me, right?
Jade Emperor was going to pardon San Sheng Mu.
If you help the rescue, there is still hope.
Need me to do anything for you?
You must take over the job to rescue Flower Fairy.
If Er Lang Shen's giving orders behind Bull King, he'll definitely interfere.
Right. Let's pull down Er Lang Shen first.
This mission will come to me then.
How?
When I went to your home as Dog Fairy yesterday
I was seen by God of Death's spy.
They told my dad about it already.
Mr. Liu, you cannot go up.
- Mr. Liu... - If you go now, maybe Chen Xiang...
- Let's go home first. - Right. Mr. Liu.
Master, Mount Wan Ku is ahead.
He wouldn't be hiding inside Thousand Foxes Cave again, would he?
The smoke is poisonous.
Hurry. Think of a way to seal the door.
- Don't let the smoke in. - I'll seal it...
I can't seal it, beauty. Find others for protection. I quit!
Don't go out. Come back.
Caught him...
What are you doing?
Who are you?
I'm a pervert ghost from the eighteenth level of Hell.
- Pervert ghost, how did you get here? - I don't know either.
We were just wandering around.
- And we got here. - We?
I have a companion. He died from your smoke.
Is Chen Xiang inside?
Chen Xiang? I don't know who he is.
- Who else is inside? - There's a beauty inside.
- Nobody else? - No.
What's that beauty doing?
She was possessed while practicing, and she couldn't move.
We were protecting her.
- Where? - Over there.
Lao Si. Get a bowl. Quick! Don't waste it.
I'm so unlucky... Someone help me?
I'm freezing.
Who are you?
I'm a pervert ghost from the eighteenth level of Hell.
What just happened here?
The gods captured the beauty inside the cave.
Who captured her?
I don't know. But the leader had three eyes.
- When was that? - Before you came.
Of course.
Please help, brother. Please help.
Jade Emperor wants to see you. He seems in a rush.
Take care, Master.
- Dog Fairy. - Master. Why are you back?
I suddenly thought of something.
- Take me to the little fox. - Yes, Master.
Xiao Yu, how are you?
Xiao Yu... it's me.
Chen Xiang? Chen Xiang...
Xiao Yu, what have they done to you?
- Chen Xiang. - Sorry I came here late.
Chen Xiang.
Hurry...
- Greetings to Your Majesty. - At ease.
Soul-taker. Let me ask you.
Did you see it yourself that Dog Fairy went to notify Chen Xiang?
Yes, Your Majesty.
At midnight yesterday, I was ordered to keep an eye on Chen Xiang.
I saw Dog Fairy enter Chen Xiang's home.
Dog Fairy was staying with me at that time. He didn't go anywhere.
Are you telling the truth, Er Lang Shen?
Of course.
Your Majesty, Your Highness.
If Er Lang Shen has lied to you, what is the punishment?
Please say clearly, Your Highness, Your Majesty.
Liars to the Emperor will be sent to Hell.
- Never to return. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
I'm sure that at midnight yesterday Er Lang Shen was not with Dog Fairy.
And Er Lang Shen definitely didn't know what Dog Fairy was doing last night.
How do you know?
Whatever I say is just my side only.
Others wouldn't believe me.
Why not get Dog Fairy here and ask him?
- Palace Officer. - Present.
Go to the Immortal Palace. Summon Dog Fairy.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Er Lang Shen.
If you want to use your soul to warn Dog Fairy
I'd advice you to give up on that idea.
If Fighting Buddha finds you outside Ling Xiao Hall, you will be very embarrassed.
How dare you!
When did you ask the Monkey King to come here?
I'm afraid Er Lang Shen will cheat.
I've borrowed Monkey King for his Mighty Eyes to keep an eye on Er Lang Shen's soul.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Your Highness
Nezha just cares about the case.
All right. Your mistakes are forgiven.
Mei Shan Brothers.
Jade Emperor has summoned Dog Fairy to go to Ling Xiao Hall immediately.
- You go first. - Yes.
Come here.
- Where's Dog Fairy? - He left with Er Lang Shen.
- When was that? - Er Lang Shen returned after a while.
He went with Dog Fairy to see the little fox.
Then they left the torture chamber together.
Did anything look strange about Dog Fairy?
It did look like something was amiss.
Er Lang Shen had to support him to come out.
Something's wrong!
Master.
Dog Fairy. Is this a place for you to look around?
Right...
- Don't raise your head. - Yes, sir.
Dog Fairy, let me ask you.
Where were you at midnight yesterday?
- I was... - Don't raise your head. Just talk.
I was... at the Immortal Palace.
- Were you with Er Lang Shen? - I...
I'll ask again.
Were you with Er Lang Shen at midnight last night?
I... I was... not with Master.
Dog Fairy, do you know what punishment you'll suffer for lying to the Emperor?
I... I don't dare to lie to Your Highness and Your Majesty.
I was really at the Immortal Palace playing dices with a few caretakers.
I was not with my master.
All of them could testify for me.
Yang Jian...
You've lied to me again and again.
You really think I won't punish you?
- Guards! - Present!
Send Er Lang Shen and Dog Fairy to Hell.
- Never to return. - Again? Master...
Wait.
I lied to the Emperor. I'm willing to die.
Your Majesty, Nezha brought Monkey King outside Ling Xiao Hall without permission.
He didn't report it. Isn't he lying to you too?
Guards! Arrest Nezha.
Send him to Hell, too.
Your Highness, Nezha did it for this case.
Even so, he shouldn't cover it up.
Nezha, do you want to say anything?
I have something to say.
Monkey King is not outside Ling Xiao Hall.
I was afraid Yang Jian will use his soul to warn Dog Fairy, so I tricked him.
Nezha, you are admitting it yourself.
If you thought your action shouldn't be considered as lying to the Emperor before
you are lying to the Emperor now.
Your Highness...
Guards. Take Yang Jian, Nezha, Dog Fairy down to Hell and never to return.
- Yes. - Your Majesty. Your Highness.
Chen Xiang is not captured yet.
Nezha and Er Lang Shen are rare talents in Heaven.
If you punish the two of them when any disaster happens to Heaven
I'm afraid nobody could help then.
What Taishang Laojun said makes sense. A lot of sense.
What does everyone else think?
Please pardon Yang Jian and Nezha, Your Majesty.
Considering Heaven needs more help.
The crimes of Er Lang Shen and Nezha are deferred for now.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Although the soul-taker from Hell saw Dog Fairy enter Liu's Village.
But we can't tell if it was really him.
Er Lang Shen failed to capture Chen Xiang time and again, he is not without faults.
I think it's better to let Li Jing and his son to capture Chen Xiang.
That's fine.
- Li Jing, Nezha. - Here.
Capture Chen Xiang in one day.
If you can't capture Chen Xiang, Li Jing will be released from his position.
His army will be under Er Lang Shen.
Nezha will face the wall for 1,000 years.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Mr. Liu, why are you still awake?
I can't sleep.
Why do you keep holding this sword?
Because, he gave it to me.
We should talk about your wedding.
- Ding Xiang... - I'm going to bed.
Why did they want your blood?
Did you hear them say anything?
No.
Lotus Lantern! Right, it must be about Lotus Lantern.
Xiao Yu, you've swallowed the wick.
Er Lang Shen must want to use your blood to revive the magic of Lotus Lantern.
If this is true, what should we do?
Look for a chance. I must get Lotus Lantern back.
Wait for me to come back.
Nezha, why haven't you left to arrest Chen Xiang yet?
I have a very big case to report to you.
A very big case?
Flower Fairy of Suzhou has been missing four years.
- There is still no sight of her. - What?
I ask for your permission to look for Flower Fairy.
You... have some clues?
Chen Xiang has some clues.
If Heaven agrees to pardon San Sheng Mu
he would help save Flower Fairy in return.
And he'll rebuild the eighteenth level of Hell
and capture those demons who had been released.
Capture those demons? Just by himself?
If he really can rebuild the eighteenth level of Hell and capture all those demons
and earn credit for helping find Flower Fairy
it's not impossible to pardon San Sheng Mu then.
Thank you, Your Majesty. I have another small request.
- Say it. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Before I find out where Flower Fairy is please keep an eye on Er Lang Shen.
Never allow him to leave Heaven.
Fine. I'll keep an eye on him myself.
You don't need to worry then.
Nezha, I'm going to give you a time limit.
If you cannot find Flower Fairy before Peach Ceremony
I'll add 1,000 years more to your punishment.
Your Highness, Peach Ceremony is coming up soon.
In such a short time...
Flower Fairy is needed to prepare Peach Ceremony.
How can I not be in a rush to find her?
You are fair and just, Your Highness.
Fighting Buddha...
Third Prince, how did you have time to visit me?
I've come to ask for your help, Fighting Buddha.
You must have heard already.
I asked Jade Emperor to keep Er Lang Shen at Heaven.
Yes, I know.
I'm afraid Jade Emperor can't control Er Lang Shen.
So I've come to ask for your help.
Go play chess with Jade Emperor. Have a drink with him.
A good job to have.
Any job that is against Er Lang Shen is a good job I won't turn down.
- Oh yes. Did Chen Xiang come here? - Chen Xiang? Why would he come here?
- Why hasn't he come yet? - Something wrong?
Please tell Chen Xiang I'll wait for him at Mount Cui Yun. I have to leave now.
Fighting Buddha, are you waiting for me?
You! Who do you think you are?
I haven't seen you for days. You look good.
Just say what you want. No bullshit. Don't flatter me for nothing.
I have to tell you something.
Er Lang Shen knows Lotus Lantern's pithy formulas.
Although Lotus Lantern lost its wick.
But its magic power may have been revived by Er Lang Shen.
Please don't fight with him.
I'll be cautious.
You came here not just for this, right?
I have another small matter.
Can I borrow your monkey hair for a while?
I'm going inside if you don't explain.
Yes, Buddha. I caused some trouble in Hell.
I ruined the eighteenth level of Hell and released tens of thousands of devils.
The life and death worlds are in a mess now.
That's why I need your help.
No wonder I can hear ghosts crying in Mount E Mei.
So it's you who made this mess.
You made this mess, you clean it up. What?
Fighting Buddha, I've done wrong. I know it.
Don't be cute with me. It's no use.
Fighting Buddha, I promise. I won't do this again. I promise.
Go. Don't bother me anymore.
Fighting Buddha, please help me. Please...
I really won't help if you don't go now.
- So you are helping? - I didn't say so. I didn't.
Buddha, one more thing. Please give me a tip.
- Why are you so troublesome? - Just a tip.
You are good friends with Bull Demon King.
- Surely you know how to handle him. - I don't know.
Regardless, he is your sworn brother.
- You must help him. - Help? Help you to harm him?
Plundering Flower Fairy is crime punishable by death.
But this is probably all instigated by Er Lang Shen.
If handled properly, maybe we can put all the blame onto Er Lang Shen.
What a good nephew of Er Lang Shen!
Let me give you a tip.
- Here, take it. - Let me see.
This is Old Bull's son, Scarlet Boy.
Thanks, Buddha.
Hurry up and go. Waiting for me to buy you supper?
- I'll leave now. - Go.
- Please hurry to get the demons. - I'll kick you If you don't go now.
- I'll go. Thanks, Fighting Buddha. - Go.
Nezha said he's waiting for you in Mount Cui Yun.
Thanks!
Monkey King.
Do you still remember Mount Wan Ku?
Mount Wan Ku? Sounds familiar.
I'll play with you for a while. Come.
Chen Xiang, I help you out of kindness but you brought a demon to harm me.
Nice fight.
Missed by a little bit.
Just a bit more. Darn!
That strike was quite good.
Good. Just a bit more and she would have died.
Fighting Buddha, who was she?
You brought her here and you ask me?
[Mount E Mei Inn]
Xiao Yu.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
Sorry. This is the second time I've hurt you.
I've never seen you before.
Xiao Yu.
- Xiao Yu. - Let me go.
- Xiao Yu, are you all right? - Let me go.
- Let me go. I don't know you. - Xiao Yu...
- Let me go. - Xiao Yu, calm down.
Xiao Yu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
This is the thing that you wouldn't tell me?
Xiao Yu, why do you want to kill Monkey King?
If you parents were killed by someone would you avenge for them?
Monkey King, it's him?
So you are the daughter of Fox Fairy in Mount Wan Ku.
Even death was too good for your parents.
If you're so determined to avenge for them then bring it on.
But the magic power that you have now...
is still way behind.
- Don't go. - Xiao Yu. You are hurt badly now.
You can't even ride the cloud. How can you chase him?
I'll go for you.
Chen Xiang!
- Why did you kill her parents? - Ask your mother.
My mom knows about this too?
Chen Xiang, I'll say this.
Don't get too close with this little Fox Fairy.
Or the consequences will be terrible.
I've given up my revenge against Monkey King.
Because, I really cannot leave him.
Does he know?
Why doesn't he come tell me himself?
I lost again.
You probably lost deliberately.
I wouldn't dare.
