[Lotus Lantern]
Episode 27
I want to see who his wife is.
Ding Xiang, let's see where Er Lang Shen is.
- Ding Xiang. - I'm not going.
Chen Xiang, you're back.
Ding Xiang, that is not real.
But...
that's what he longs for deep inside his heart.
Why are you still here?
Want to see how bad I feel?
No, this isn't real. This is just Illusion.
I can give up my revenge for you.
If you wish, all these can become true.
No. Even if you give up the revenge it's still impossible.
Why?
- Because of Ding Xiang. - Ding Xiang?
You can still think of her now?
Yes. How can I forget her?
I cannot hurt her anymore.
Ding Xiang's already...
But in your heart, I'm still the one you want.
Now I understand, sometimes a man has to give up something.
Ding Xiang has had enough.
I can't hurt her again.
Do you know?
Being with Ding Xiang has helped me understand one thing.
If a man wants to lead a happy life
first, he has to learn to give happiness to others.
You can try it too.
You won't need to live in pain anymore.
But if I lose you, my life will become meaningless.
If you can give happiness to others, your life will become meaningful.
Your life will not be boring, either.
Have you decided?
You want to choose her and give me up?
I chose to give you up, why are you laughing?
- Here comes another one. - Who? I can't see clearly.
- It's Ding Xiang. - Yes, it is Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang! Ding Xiang...
Where's Ding Xiang?
Such an important scene, how can she miss it?
Is there a way we can let her see it again?
Granny, sorry. I've decided to give up.
I am giving up taking revenge.
And, I'm giving up Chen Xiang.
- I know there is no reward for giving up now. - Kill her!
Kill her!
But I can only give up.
Granny, I'm sorry.
Kill her!
You are not Ding Xiang.
I am Ding Xiang.
But, I am also Er Lang Shen.
- Come. - Sure.
Hurry.
Oh yes, Ding Xiang.
I remember we haven't consummated our marriage.
How did we have a son then?
This is the life I've been dreaming of.
Finally, we can be together.
From now on, I won't need to worry Xiao Yu will take you from me.
Don't worry.
I'll stay with you for the rest of my life.
No one can take me away from you.
No. Someone can take you away from them.
- Who? - You mother, San Sheng Mu.
Nonsense! How will my mom do that?
If you don't give up saving your mom you and Ding Xiang won't be happy.
Walking out of this Illusion, I can save Flower Fairy. Heaven will release my mom.
You cannot stop me.
If you want to stay with Ding Xiang you cannot leave Illusion.
And you can't save Flower Fairy.
Impossible! How can this be?
Er Lang Shen is somewhere near us.
Jin Xing, Father, everyone saw it.
It's him stopping us from saving Flower Fairy.
But you have to catch him on the scene.
Think of a way to lead him to Flower Fairy's cave.
In your heart, is your child and I more important, or your mother?
Equally important.
But you must choose one, give up the other.
You have became my wife and child.
If I give up you two, I'll be giving up the basic responsibilities of a husband and dad.
But Er Lang Shen, he wishes me to give up mom and choose you and my child.
That's how he will achieve his goal.
That's why I definitely cannot give up my mom.
- Have you decided? - I've decided.
- Who will you give up? - I choose to give myself up.
Only this way, I can be their son, husband and father.
There's no such answer.
You didn't give me this answer.
But I can choose this way.
You cannot choose.
There are only two paths in front of you. Not a third one.
Then I'll step, step out a new pathway.
You can't step out a pathway.
Only two paths here. You can't change it.
I must change it.
Many things can't be changed in the universe.
Such as, Heaven's Laws that were set for eons.
They cannot be changed.
Then I ask you.
What kind of destiny do I have?
Your destiny is already set too.
If my destiny has been set
why do you need to exert so much to stop me?
Chen Xiang, don't be silly.
My destiny can be changed.
I can give up my life.
But I'd never give up my responsibilities.
I won't give up my mom.
I won't give up Ding Xiang and my child.
- You've thought clearly? - Yes.
- Decided? - Yes.
Yang Jian, the proof is in my hand.
Where are the Mei Shan Brothers?
- We are here. - Go.
Everyone is here except the Dog.
Er Lang Shen, you interfere Heaven from saving Flower Fairy.
What are you planning?
You have more people here. I can't defend myself.
Yang Jian, even if you had 10,000 mouths you cannot explain it this time.
Show me everything you have.
And try to leave as much as you can.
Don't you think there's someone missing here?
Chen Xiang.
Where's the person you wouldn't give up?
If I can't leave here, Ding Xiang will die.
Look around. Who has come?
Watch out, Ding Xiang!
Hurry and help.
Why should I help you?
If you die, there'll be one less to kill Chen Xiang.
Dog Fairy!
Don't kill my master.
Dog Fairy!
- Don't kill my master! - Dog Fairy.
Dog Fairy, Er Lang Shen treats you poorly and you still protect him so much?
All this is ordered by Her Highness.
If you are not killed, she'll fire him.
Er Lang Shen, it's not up to me to let you go.
Eighth Prince, I beg you.
Have mercy on my master, Eighth Prince.
I beg you, Eighth Prince. I beg you.
Have mercy on my master.
I beg you. Take Dog Fairy's life instead of my Master's.
Get away.
For the sake of your loyalty, I can let you go.
- But Yang Jian must die today. - Don't. No.
Your sister committed a wrong by helping Chen Xiang.
My master is God of Justice.
He had to do his job.
Chen Xiang.
You've forgotten, when you were in Liu's Village how did you uncle treat you?
On your birthday, he gave you a golden locket for long life.
He even added 20 years to your life.
You uncle wanted to be good to you.
You just had to leave Liu's Village.
That's why he had to treat you like this.
Besides, my master didn't harm San Sheng Mu.
It's the rules of Heaven. Heaven's Law!
My master is just doing his job.
- Dog Fairy. - I beg you.
If you want to revenge, kill me then.
Dog Fairy is willing to die for him. I beg you...
Now that my master can't kill you, he cannot fulfill his mission.
He can't stay as God of Justice.
He won't be a threat to you then.
Let him go. Can you please let him go?
Disciples...
What Dog Fairy said makes some sense.
Why not take him to Heaven and let Jade Emperor decide?
Won't we have to tell on Her Highness?
Will Jade Emperor protect you or Her Highness?
Last time when we surrounded Er Lang Shen, you punched him flying.
How much power did you use?
I didn't use much power.
Just 10 or 20 percent?
Brother, I'll give him a punch for you.
Can you not take revenge?
Brother, don't act like this, please?
Dog Fairy's willing to take it for Master.
You stand aside.
Master, if she uses her full power
even if you don't die, you'll lose all your power.
If I don't die, I'll still follow Master.
Why aren't you that loyal to me?
You are not my real master.
You were good to me for two years, but I can't betray my real master just for that.
Still, you shouldn't step on my face.
It's quite fair for me to give you a punch.
You can stand in front to cover him.
- You get away. - Don't push me, Master.
Push me again, I'll die in front of you.
The two of them are like brothers.
I'll never believe it if I didn't see it myself.
- Dog Fairy is so loyal. - Yes.
Disciple, how much power did you use?
Maybe... 80 to 90 percent?
- Would he be killed? - I don't really know.
He's a good dog. Pity if he died.
We can stop Her Highness's mouth with Illusion.
She won't interrupt, and we can still save San Sheng Mu.
The words, 'Pardon San Sheng Mu'
must be spoken by Jade Emperor in front of all the celestials in Ling Xiao Hall.
This time he can't deny it if he's not drunk.
Fairy Goddess, please come this way.
- Chen Xiang. - Aunt Flower Fairy.
You've grown up. Let me have a closer look.
- Thank you. Thanks. - We've finally saved you.
Dog Fairy.
Dog Fairy, wake up. Answer me.
Dog Fairy, you can't die. Dog Fairy.
Dog Fairy.
You did it for me. Is it worth it?
Master.
You're still alive. That's great. Good.
Master is crying.
I caused harm to you. You shouldn't have taken that punch.
I can see you crying for me.
Dog Fairy is already very happy.
Dog Fairy, you can't die.
King Li Jing, you really saved Flower Fairy.
- Is court dismissed? - Just dismissed.
What should we do?
- Where's the Emperor? - He's gone to Lake Yao.
- Hurry! - Let's go.
Your Majesty, Your Highness, at Mount Jill Lei
Chen Xiang broke three gates and made great accomplishment.
We ask Your Majesty to pardon San Sheng Mu.
Chen Xiang made great accomplishment?
Are you saying your Li Family army couldn't take down a little Mount Jill Lei?
Your Highness, Mount Jill Lei is not a problem.
But someone in Heaven helped Bull Demon King
to stop Heaven's soldiers from saving Flower Fairy.
Heaven's army met extra difficulties.
You said someone in Heaven helped Bull King? Who is it?
Er Lang Shen.
You can't say this for fun.
Slandering the Judicial God is serious crime.
Your Majesty, I have proof of Er Lang Shen helping
Bull King to stop Heavenly soldiers from saving Flower Fairy.
This painting is called Illusion.
Someone gave this magic power to Er Lang Shen.
Tai Bai Jin Xing and I saw it ourselves.
Er Lang Shen used it to stop Heavenly soldiers.
If Chen Xiang didn't overcome Illusion
I don't know when Flower Fairy could have been saved.
This Er Lang Shen I told you we couldn't use him anymore.
- Who gave him this painting? - This...
Tell me.
I haven't investigated fully yet.
Where's Er Lang Shen now?
We've captured Mei Shan Brothers.
Er Lang Shen and Dog Fairy escaped.
But they are badly injured.
I don't think they have much power left.
Get Mei Shan Brothers' statements immediately.
I'm going to read it myself.
Get someone to arrest Er Lang Shen soon.
Yes, Your Majesty.
About Chen Xiang and San Sheng Mu...
When will Chen Xiang be brought up here?
At the latest it will be during the Peach Ceremony
His Majesty and I will figure out a most suitable decision to satisfy all celestials.
Peach Ceremony's coming up. Er Lang Shen is not caught yet.
You should take care of those things first.
We will leave then.
Flower Fairy, hurry to prepare Peach Ceremony.
- We're running out of time. - Yes, Your Highness.
- All right, you may be dismissed. - Yes, Your Highness.
According to Her Highness order
all servants in Immortal Palace will be expelled to be mortals.
Immortal Palace will be changed to raise ducks.
Isn't Qi Tian Fu already raising ducks?
It has been changed to raise chickens.
- Four Kings come to meet Your Highness. - Your Highness.
Er Lang Shen helped Bull Demon King against Heaven.
He committed unforgivable crimes.
Li Jing and his son have been ordered to capture him.
But I'm afraid they can't be relied on.
That's why I want the four of you to capture Er Lang Shen and Dog Fairy for me.
Execute them at capture. Destroy their souls.
Your Highness, Er Lang Shen is powerful.
The four of us are afraid that...
Relax. Er Lang Shen is badly hurt.
It won't even need all four of you.
- Just one can take him down. - I see.
We'll do our best.
Not just do your best. You must succeed.
- Master. - Don't worry, Dog Fairy.
- You won't die. - I'm hungry.
I only have a little power left.
There's nothing to eat here. Let's go look somewhere else.
Come.
Come. Let's go.
There's a hut. There should be food.
Come. Go.
Come. Get up.
Anybody home?
You. What's up?
Looking for me? What's the matter?
I'm Judicial God, Er Lang Shen.
This is my brother Dog Fairy.
We met some changes and lost our power.
My brother hasn't eaten for days.
Sorry, sorry, two celestials.
Do you know who I am?
- No. - Jade Emperor!
Brother, I didn't lie to you.
Just say you want to beg for food.
No need to pretend to be celestials.
No. There's nothing in my house.
Just a little rice or congee will do.
Money. You have money?
No? No money and you want to eat?
Brother...
Who's your brother? Go away!
Is there any other family around here?
Twenty miles away.
Twenty miles.
We can't even walk three days like this.
Master, I really can't walk any longer.
We'll just take a rest here.
It's all right.
Master, let's go a bit farther away.
When I smell that... I can't bear it.
Mister, I really am Er Lang Shen.
My brother Dog Fairy really can't hang on.
Please give us some help, do some good.
I'll pay you back a hundred times.
It's not that I don't want to help.
I'm just a poor firewood collector.
I gather firewood by walking 30 miles
and only get two pennies to buy a half catty of rice.
It's not even enough for me.
Look how my dog is starving.
Mister, my brother really is dying.
You can just leave him one bite.
No. No. Go away.
If you don't eat, others will take it from you.
Come. Eat.
Hurry and eat it. Or others will take it.
Hey! Put it down!
Mister, my brother hasn't eaten for days.
Put it down or I'll hit you.
I begged you sincerely.
You...
- You want to fight? - Master.
I'll let to take it. I'll let you take it.
- Master... - Go away, or I'll kill you.
Today, I finally understand...
A tiger in distress can be bullied by a dog.
Master, I am a dog too.
No, you are my brother.
Don't worry. When we regain some power we can leave this place then.
I miss the time when we're in Immortal Palace.
At least we didn't worry about food.
But we can't go back anymore. Can we?
When I became sworn brothers with Mei Shan Brothers I had high expectations.
With the brothers following me we can be famous, bring honors to the ancestors.
But I'd never dreamed, because of Heaven's Law
I had to shut my younger sister under Mount Hua, never to see the sun again.
Six brothers, one left us.
The remaining ones have been jailed.
Only you and I are here. And we lost power.
Suddenly we can't even defeat a mortal.
Furthermore, we'll have to endure being
scoffed by those self-righteous gods in Heaven.
Now that we are in such a situation surely they'll laugh until their tears fall.
I'm such a God of Justice to have fallen to such low ground.
Master, have you ever thought what you've done, is it worth it?
- You still want to be Judiciary God? - Yes.
Do it properly if you still want the job.
There's always someone to replace you.
Where are your principles of justice?
You are sacrificing your family for selfish gain.
- Sister... - Fourth Aunt...
Fourth Princess, hang on.
As long as you focus your mind your soul won't disappear.
Hang in there. Dog Fairy...
Master, I think I'll have to go first.
No. Hang in there. Just a little more.
I've never thought that I would be in this situation, starving to death.
No, you won't starve to death.
Hang on, brother. Hang on.
Master, I have to go first.
Dog Fairy!
Mister, I beg you to have mercy on us.
He really can't hang on any longer.
I, Er Lang Shen, will never forget your kindness.
Master, you can't kneel.
You are the Judiciary God of Heaven.
Don't kneel. Master, don't kneel.
Mister...
If you had asked me for help nicely I could have given you something to eat.
- Now... no way! - Wait...
Master, please get up. Master, please...
Hurry and eat.
- Stealing? You dare to steal? - Run!
- You thief! I'll beat you to death. - Hurry to eat.
- You thief! - Eat quickly, hurry!
Why did you treat Er Lang Shen this way?
Er Lang Shen is despicable in disregarding his family.
His mistreatment of his own sister and nephew has sparked public condemnation.
After the Peach Ceremony, Heaven will release my mom.
You can stay with us too. Isn't that good?
Stay with you?
If you don't want to, you can live an ordinary life with Dog Fairy.
