[Lotus Lantern]
Episode 29
Monkey King, what do you think?
Well...
Pardoning San Sheng Mu or not is Heaven's business.
I've got nothing to do with it.
But Your Majesty's words are oracular and firm.
You just said to pardon San Sheng Mu and let her family reunite.
But you reneged just for a few words from Her Highness.
The dignity of Heaven's Law is preserved.
But Your Majesty's dignity...
Sun Wu Kong, don't make trouble.
If there is nothing, I can't make trouble.
Earlier His Majesty asked Your Highness.
Your Highness said His Majesty rules.
Then His Majesty made a decision, but you reversed it.
Everybody saw it, right?
I dare not reverse His Majesty's words.
I only expressed my view.
Whether pardoning San Sheng Mu or not is still decided by His Majesty.
Moreover, His Majesty hasn't finalized his decision.
If you can refute me, it is not too late.
I am a Buddhist.
I don't get involved in these matters.
You'd better let Chen Xiang argue with you.
Your view makes sense.
But don't wait till after I've decided.
This doesn't help me maintain my image.
Don't be fooled by that monkey.
I am not that stupid.
Chen Xiang! What else can you say?
You only need to persuade all celestials.
No need to persuade me and Her Highness.
When more than half of the celestials think San Sheng Mu should be pardoned.
I'll pardon your mom.
Nobody can stop it.
Say it!
Chen Xiang. Say it quickly!
Right now His Majesty is favoring you.
Chen Xiang! Jade Emperor is on your side.
A very rare chance! Say it quickly!
I am so anxious.
Chen Xiang! You have nothing to say?
Then I would have no reason to pardon San Sheng Mu.
Chen Xiang! You... don't have anything to say?
I do have something to say.
My mom violated Heaven's Law by marrying a mortal.
If someone ordered the Judiciary God to resist Heaven by helping Bull King secretly
isn't it a crime?
Chen Xiang! Don't make irresponsible remarks!
I'm not making irresponsible remarks.
You gave Illusion to Er Lang Shen!
To silence Er Lang Shen, you sent the Four Kings to kill him.
How dare you! You even dare to slander me.
Guards!
This devil spreads lies to deceive people.
Take him outside and execute him.
Chen Xiang! Do you have any evidence to say it?
Have any evidence?
He's just making irresponsible remarks.
Li Jing!
Haven't you caught Er Lang Shen and Dog Fairy?
Bring them and confront with me.
- Where are the Four Kings? - Yes, Your Highness!
This devil is making up lies to mislead people.
Take him down and execute him now!
Your Majesty! Your Highness!
What are you waiting for?
- Nezha! You dare to cheat? - I...
Protect... Protect His Majesty!
My heavenly pills!
Your Majesty, Your Highness, don't worry!
Yang Jian is here.
Why is he here?
- Where are Mei Shan Brothers? - Here!
Protect His Majesty and Her Highness!
Master! Let's go help!
Not yet! Watch my brother monkey.
If my brother monkey helps, I will too.
Master!
I am anxious too.
My status is different from yours.
Watching others hitting my pupils, I'm...
I'm so anxious. I'm so anxious.
- Old Monkey will help you. - Go away!
Who raised you? All you do is open your mouth to scold people?
Monkey King! Don't bug me, or I won't be polite.
I kindly offer my help, but you scold me.
Okay! Let me help Heaven to capture you for offending Heaven's Law.
That can be a justification?
- Watch me! - You get away!
Who is it? I was sleeping. Who stepped on me?
Will you look into it, Your Highness?
They trampled me. I don't want to live.
Nobody cares!
Nobody cares! I'll hit somebody back.
Don't you trample me!
Where are you going?
Chen Xiang!
Chen Xiang, go quickly!
Go quickly!
Rebellion! This is a rebellion!
It's ridiculous.
Really ridiculous! It's a rebellion!
- Why are they fighting? - Let's go check. Go!
- How did they get in? - Don't know!
Let's check demon mirror! Go!
- There's another one! - Close the door. Quick!
Chen Xiang is still inside.
See if you can open South Heaven Gate!
Xiao Yu.
Chen Xiang!
Xiao Yu!
Xiao Yu! Wake up!
Can we crash the South Heaven Gate?
Okay, I'll try.
Ding Xiang.
Chen Xiang, go quick! Go!
Xiao Yu! Wake up! Wake up!
- Xiao Yu! - Chen Xiang!
- I am here.
Do you know how much I like you?
I know. I've always known.
But maybe I'll have to leave first.
Sorry.
No! Xiao Yu! You won't die.
You haven't taken your revenged yet. You can't die!
It may be all right this way.
Ding Xiang likes you so much.
You have to treat her well.
Yes.
This is a pill stolen from Taishang Laojun.
Luckily, I still have the last one.
Maybe it can help.
Will it really help?
I'll kill you!
Chen Xiang! Don't go! Don't go!
My nose is good again.
Dog meat buns! Who dares to eat dog meat?
Stewed Beef! Pork!
I can smell.
Tracking down in the vast universe...
Xiao Yu!
This stream of energy can only maintain your life for four hours.
You wait here.
I'll go to Dou Shuai Palace again.
Dou Shuai Palace is 33 levels above the sky.
You can't reach it.
Even if it is 99 levels above the sky, I still have to go.
Chen Xiang, promise me. Please don't go.
You are injured because of me.
Even if I died, I'd still have to save you.
- Chen Xiang... - Here, you lie down first.
- Xiao Yu! You must wait for me. - Chen Xiang...
Whoever resists me shall die!
- Go report to His Majesty. Quick! - Yes, sir.
Go!
Chen Xiang! Xiao Yu will take revenge in the next life.
This life, please treat Ding Xiang well.
These are Xiao Yu's last words.
Er Lang Shen's magic power seems weaker.
He couldn't last 100 rounds with Monkey King.
We don't know where he escaped to.
Monkey King is obviously against Heaven.
Monkey King was shouting while fighting
telling heavenly soldiers to assist him to capture Er Lang Shen who violated laws.
But he clearly knew Er Lang Shen had protected His Majesty.
He is also helping Heaven to catch devil Chen Xiang now.
Er Lang Shen violated Heaven's Law, too.
Let them fight.
Order all heavenly soldiers
even if they saw those two they are not allowed to lend a hand.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty... Chen Xiang left and returned.
He fought from South Heaven Gate alone and kept fighting upwards.
Now he is at third level of the sky already.
Your Majesty, Your Highness! Chen Xiang is at ninth level of the sky.
How did he become so powerful?
Your Majesty, Your Highness! Chen Xiang is at fifteenth level of the sky.
He wants to jab a hole in Heaven?
Where are the elixir pills I just extracted?
I beg you, please give me an elixir pill.
You fought from South Heaven Gate to 33rd level of the sky.
- It's all for just one elixir pill? - Yes.
- Did you steal my other pills? - Yes!
And you dare to show yourself here?
I am begging you.
You can't even stand up. You think you still can threaten us?
Xiao Yu, I must save you.
I can give you an elixir pill.
But I have a condition.
What condition?
After you've saved the person
you must come to my Eight Diagrams Furnace to burn yourself.
I promise you.
Before you get my elixir pill you must take this suicide pill.
If you don't return within 24 hours you will die of the poison.
Give me the elixir pill.
Xiao Yu...
Chen Xiang! Xiao Yu will take revenge in the next life.
This life, please treat Ding Xiang well.
These are Xiao Yu's last words.
Xiao Yu!
Xiao Yu! Why didn't you wait for me?
Why?
Guilty courtier Yang Jian helped Bull King resisting Li Jing.
Even death cannot pay for this crime. I'm here to turn myself in.
Your Majesty!
Yang Jian did it to maintain Heaven's order.
Since he earned merit by protecting you
please absolve his crime and resume his post.
Merit is merit. Mistake is mistake.
To forgive him so easily is probably not acceptable.
Your Majesty!
Report! Chen Xiang is here again.
Yes, he is shouting outside South Heaven Gate.
Your Majesty, if Yang Jian earns merit again, can he be forgiven?
It depends on him.
Yang Jian!
I order you to lead Mei Shan Brothers, Four Kings
and 100 thousand heaven soldiers outside.
Kill Chen Xiang at South Heaven Gate now!
- I don't believe he can escape this time. - Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness! Absolutely not. No!
Er Lang Shen or anyone is no match to Chen Xiang.
100 thousand solders are no match to him?
Your Highness! Chen Xiang admitted to me he secretly ate all my immortal pills.
All those immortal pills were eaten by one person.
Just imagine the power hidden inside his body.
But don't forget, he hasn't mastered it.
Er Lang Shen, with your own power
can you fight all the way from South Heaven Gate to 33rd level of the sky?
I cannot.
Although he doesn't know how to use it.
But, when he has been provoked his internal power will be stimulated.
Moreover, the stronger the external force
the stimulated internal power gets even stronger too.
If this situation is not handled correctly
the ensuing chaos in Heaven will be irremediable.
His Majesty and Her Highness have arrived!
Chen Xiang!
Chen Xiang! Don't you want to save your mom?
Chen Xiang, I know if I don't release your mom
you will cause a great chaos in Heaven.
If I release your mom it means Heaven is weak and gullible.
Chen Xiang! Did you forget?
Why did you leave the Liu's village and suffer all conceivable hardships?
I know your magic power was hard to get.
But the dignity of Heaven can't be violated.
You think about it carefully.
Is your magic power more important, or family reunion more important.
Think about it!
If I give up magic power and you renege?
I'm the Emperor. My words are firm.
How can my words be reneged?
You have reneged many times already.
Then, you tell me.
What can I do to make you believe?
- You can write the pardoning edict. - You!
Prepare pen and ink.
Chen Xiang, if you give up magic power the pardon will be effective right now.
No one can stop you this time.
I'll count to three.
If you don't make a decision, I'll tear up the pardoning edict!
You will have no more chance again.
One!
Two!
Wait!
I'll give up magic power.
Chen Xiang.
No!
Chen Xiang! No!
You don't even understand why your mom is under Mount Hua.
And you think you can save your mom.
Stop dreaming!
His Majesty and Her Highness have arrived.
Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness.
Chen Xiang is caught already.
Mom, why am I so stupid?
Why am I so stupid?
- Yang Jian, why don't you kill Chen Xiang? - Yes, Your Highness.
What are you waiting for?
Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness.
Chen Xiang and I are related by blood.
I...
Don't forget your identity.
Kill Chen Xiang, and you can immediately return to be God of Justice.
- Your Highness! - This is how you show loyalty to Heaven.
Forget it. What loyalty?
I see nothing except his disregard for his relatives.
Give someone else that job.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Reporting to Your Majesty, Her Highness.
Chen Xiang ate Taishang Laojun's immortal pills.
Let's send Chen Xiang to Taishang Laojun.
Put him into Eight Diagrams Furnace to refine the elixir.
Thank for the reminder, Er Lang Shen.
Please hand Chen Xiang over to me.
Maybe I can extract the elixirs from his body.
Taishang Laojun.
You won't refine another 'Mighty Eyes,' would you?
No! Monkey King is a stone monkey, can't be refined.
But Chen Xiang has a human body.
Once he's in Eight Diagrams Furnace, within two hours you won't even see a bone.
- Then, follow Taishang Laojun's suggestion. - All right.
Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highness.
Go!
Er Lang Shen! I'll give you a treasure.
It is the Universe Bowl. Use it to cover Mount Hua.
From now, without my a pithy formula
even you Er Lang Shen can't go near Mount Hua.
Er Lang Shen! What are you waiting for?
Yes, Your Highness.
[Immortal Palace]
Congratulations for restoring your position.
- She hasn't woken up at all? - No.
Chen Xiang saved a stream of energy in her body.
With this energy, maybe she can be saved.
But Ding Xiang's punch was too heavy.
Although only 30 percent of power was used.
It was enough to break her internals.
The only way for now is to use my energy to repair her internals.
Even so, I can only continue her life.
Can she wake up?
Li Jing is stripped of military power, but retained at Ling Xiao Hall.
Nezha helped Chen Xiang repeatedly.
He should be decapitated on the spot.
Since he helped in saving Flower Fairy he is absolved of death sentence.
But he is punished to face the wall for 5,000 years.
Nobody can intercede.
Your Majesty, Your Highness.
The case of Bull King and son with Five Gods is still open.
If they are not eradicated timely, it could get worse.
This is the time to keep talent...
Er Lang Shen alone is enough to rid Bull King.
Enough, just follow what Her Highness said.
Yang Jian!
It's not your fault. It's Er Lang Shen.
Er Lang Shen did it.
He hid inside your body.
It's not your fault.
Brother Monkey!
Elder Brother!
Monkey King.
Horse Care Officer!
Fighting Buddha!
Monkey King!
Chen Xiang is dead.
Nonsense!
Don't talk nonsense.
It's nothing. Chen Xiang was wounded and has been unconscious.
Ding Xiang thought he's dead.
