[Lotus Lantern]
Episode 34
If you're willing to save these people
you can't borrow the Magic Ax and save your mom.
Make your choice.
Chen Xiang...
Chen Xiang, what's wrong?
Chen Xiang, what's wrong with you?
Wake up!
Don't scare me. Wake up quickly.
Why haven't I died yet?
Old Bull, this is my disciple.
Where's Yang Jian?
Junior, guard Lake Yao with Iron Fan Princess.
Brother Bull, come with me. All right.
It's finally the day of your discharge.
Dog Fairy.
If you and Er Lang Shen died for this would you regret it?
If Master wouldn't regret it, I wouldn't either.
What a loyal Dog Fairy.
What did you say?
I said you're such a loyal Dog Fairy.
Thank you. Don't overpraise me.
Let's hurry to Mount Kun Lun. Master is there already.
Let's not impede the whole thing.
Chen Xiang.
I feel my magic power has enhanced.
For a person who is loving and kind, everyone will support him.
For a person who's resistant to temptation, everyone will trust him.
For a person who can sacrifice for others
everyone will sacrifice for him.
So the power expanding in your body
isn't the magic power but the power of the people.
It's the power of the living masses.
But even when you possess the power given by the living masses
- you may not necessarily get the ax. - Why?
You still need one thing.
- What's that? - Wisdom.
- I don't get it. - You will.
See it?
The Magic Ax! The Magic Ax!
Concentrate all your magic power.
I'll help you.
How can we ride on the cloud with it?
It's already so heavy to lift.
How can we ride on the cloud with it?
How can we go to Mount Hua then?
You don't fully understand what Death said.
- Which side are you helping? - Don't hurt them.
I have no choice.
Ding Xiang, let's put down the Magic Ax first.
Remember, lift it and put it down gently.
Or the world will be shaken.
It'll cause landslide, earthquakes and floods.
Lives will be jeopardized.
Here comes Xiao Yu again.
It's the chance to make her disappear forever.
Why did you appear again?
Don't think about why I've appear again for now.
You can surely kill her with all your power.
No, she's now helping us.
She helps Chen Xiang at times, then helps Er Lang Shen other times.
Do you know her real intent?
Ding Xiang, what are you doing?
I...
Yang Jian, he controlled my mind.
You did it yourself. No one controlled you.
It was your thoughts.
Remember, even gods can't control one's mind.
You originally poured the thoughts into my mind.
Everyone has an evil side.
But many people have that evil side locked behind a dark door.
All I did was, giving you a reason to open the evil door at a proper time.
Ever since then, your conscience has kept struggling with evil.
When your evil beat your conscience you thought I controlled your mind.
You could hear my voice.
And thought I did all those things.
So, you could do bad deeds at ease.
No, you are lying.
Think about it.
If they were really my thoughts why haven't you helped me at critical times?
Why are your bad deeds all targeted at Xiao Yu?
I've only let you capture her.
But many times you have wanted to kill her.
Why?
No, I am not as bad as you say.
I've got Chen Xiang already.
Why would I still have to do that?
Because you worry.
Ding Xiang, you want Chen Xiang so badly.
You don't want to give him up at all.
In order to have him, you've done so many things you shouldn't have.
But these things will make him leave you.
He won't love someone who is so evil deep inside.
Is what he said true?
I... I don't know.
I just think I'm not that bad.
Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
Why have I become so bad?
It's you, Yang Jian. Why did you harm me?
Why did you help me open the evil door?
Actually, anyone around you can help you open the evil door.
Your relatives, your friends and even someone who's unrelated to you.
Whatever they say can give you a reason.
It makes no difference if it's me or others.
The key is whether you're willing to open the door.
Chen Xiang, can you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
If I close the evil door will you still leave me?
Too late. It's too late.
Chen Xiang, think about it.
There's an evil power holding the Magic Ax.
She'll pull you back and lure you towards evil.
No, I won't... Chen Xiang.
Ding Xiang, I believe you.
I believe you can surely do it.
Let's first put down the Magic Ax slowly.
Don't bring any disasters to the universe.
Then we'll get rid of Yang Jian.
- Er Lang Shen, you've fulfilled your duties. - Go away.
Despicable scoundrel.
Big Brother.
In order to get the little fox's help Yang Jian handed Lao Liu to her.
He wanted to sell you out to her as well.
Luckily, she saw the real enemy and released Lao Liu.
Don't.
Ding Xiang!
Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang!
Ding Xiang.
- Let's kill Yang Jian the scoundrel. - All right.
Don't die, Ding Xiang...
Ding Xiang, don't die. Ding Xiang...
I've really locked up the evil forever.
Believe me.
I believe you. You must hang on. You won't die.
Ding Xiang, you'll be fine.
Don't be sad. I am not dead.
I'm just transforming into the Magic Ax.
From now on, the Magic Ax will have a mind.
Ding Xiang, don't die. Ding Xiang...
Ding Xiang.
Ding Xiang...
Let me do it.
Chen Xiang.
Congratulations on getting the Magic Ax.
The first thing the Magic Ax will do is to remove you for the universe.
All right. I'll give it a try today to see
which is mightier, the Magic Ax or Lotus Lantern.
Chen Xiang, using the Magic Ax to kill me
is a bit like misusing it for a minor purpose.
Why don't you use the Lotus Lantern?
Is it out of lamp oil?
Yang Jian, you've betrayed everyone.
Now the Lotus Lantern won't help you.
All right. Put aside the Lotus Lantern and Magic Ax.
Let's wage a life-and-death battle.
You're asking for death.
Come on.
What happened?
Eighth Prince!
Yang Jian, what else do you have to say?
Come! Avenge for Ding Xiang and your sister.
- Don't kill my master. - Dog Fairy!
Go away.
Dog Fairy.
Master, why don't you tell the truth yet?
The price is already too high.
It's so high that I can't bear and repay.
Only death can relieve me.
- Dog Fairy, run quickly. - No.
Chen Xiang, everything Dog Fairy has done was all by my orders.
You can kill me but don't hurt him.
- Don't kill my master. - Out of the way!
You can't kill him.
Xiao Yu!
Little fox!
Little fox, who are you helping? Where's your head?
I've got it all along.
Xiao Yu, Yang Jian is guilty for numerous bad deeds.
Killing him is to help the universe.
No, everything he's done was for you.
Little fox, thank you for your help.
But I've been lying to you.
I did it for my stature in the universe.
Now you're lying to me.
Chen Xiang, you can't kill him.
He's your uncle.
You'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Sister!
Fourth Aunt?
This...
I was so scared with a cold sweat.
Wasn't her soul dispersed?
Fourth Aunt, didn't you...
Right. I was really killed by Er Lang Shen.
- Sister... Sister... - Aunt...
- Sister...
Fourth Princess, hang on.
As long as you hang on with strong will your soul won't be dispersed.
Taishang Laojun.
This is the soul of Fourth Princess of East Ocean.
Please help save her.
Who hurt her so severely?
- I did. - You?
I've offended everyone with many bad deeds.
But she's the Fourth Princess.
You must help her.
You...
Yang Jian, why did you kill me but then save me?
I know you hate me and look down on me.
But who can understand the pain in my heart?
For 16 years, I've been living under the condemnation of my conscience.
I know fully well Heaven's laws are wrong.
But I can't change it.
Chen Xiang begged me to release his mom.
Looking at the crying child, I suddenly felt I was so cowardly and incapable.
I hated Heaven's laws, hated myself and Moon Fairy.
At a critical juncture, Moon Fairy reminded me.
Since you are at this position, you should do what a God of Justice does.
What was it?
I must create someone who can bring new laws in Heaven.
Who's that? Chen Xiang?
But did San Sheng Mu know your plan?
I didn't tell her.
I had to make her hate me.
Her hatred for me motivates Chen Xiang.
So you killed me and dispersed my soul
because you wanted Chen Xiang to hate you?
Love has made him lose himself.
He's forgotten his objective.
You and Moon Fairy have been helping him.
There is also the all-mighty Lotus Lantern.
He can never really grow up.
Also, there's a rather selfish point.
Everyone misunderstands me, scolds me.
But I can't shed a tear in front of anyone.
I'm really so lonely.
I don't know if I can persist until the end.
I need someone who can understand me.
I need someone to tell me I'm right.
I need someone to give me strength.
Actually, I hope that person to be Moon Fairy.
But I dare not tell her.
So far, only you and I know about this?
Taishang Laojun now knows it, too.
Er Lang Shen, what you're doing is right.
I'll use my heart and my will to support you.
Although I can't do anything now.
At least, I can cry with you.
Taishang Laojun said your soul is too weak.
You must stay in this pot to recuperate.
I've stolen your body from East Ocean Palace
and changed it to have Mei Shan Lao Da's appearance.
Your body is frozen at Mount Kun Lun's snow cave.
After we succeed, I'll bring you back to life.
It would be nice if Chen Xiang knew about your efforts.
We can't let him know.
He'll lose his ambition if he knows.
He'll never grow up.
But, if you lose your life, then...
The rotten old laws of Heaven have brought so many disasters to the universe.
If the new laws can really benefit all the lives in the universe
even if it will cost my life and reputation
I won't regret it at all.
What a...
Uncle.
Chen Xiang, Eighth Prince, as for Ding Xiang...
if I had enough power I'd rather transform into the Magic Ax.
But I value status too much and have many burdens.
Ding Xiang cleansed the evil in her soul with blood.
Her mind was just what the Magic Ax needed.
Chen Xiang, someone has to sacrifice to achieve big things.
I know this is painful for you.
So I'd rather die to repay for Ding Xiang.
It'll make me feel at ease.
No, Uncle. I don't deserve to be your nephew.
You've endured the disgrace for many years.
But I kept hating you. Just now I almost...
But you've let uncle see the reward.
You've grown up and become stronger than I am.
Uncle.
In that case
why did you ask Bull Demon King to kill Flower Fairy?
Because he knew with Bull King's nature
he wouldn't have dared to kill Flower Fairy.
I agree.
- Who said so? - I... I did.
- You came at the right time. - Don't.
Dog Fairy, you knew Er Lang Shen's plan?
I didn't at first. But later I did.
Since when?
Let go of me and I'll tell you.
Master knew I couldn't tell right from wrong.
He was worried I might ruin his plan.
So he expelled me to the human world.
Later, I brought Ding Xiang to Heaven.
He saw that I was really loyal.
So he told me everything.
Since you knew his intention why did you torture me in prison?
Fighting Buddha, think about it.
You secretly taught Chen Xiang martial arts.
You didn't dare let anyone know, right?
If you didn't suffer some insults
how would you be determined to fight against Heaven?
You... You're incredible.
Luckily you have a good father.
He helped you regain your determination.
You've been wondering
how Er Lang Shen escaped from Thousand Foxes Cave?
Actually, I led them out.
I also lit the Lotus Lantern again to help him regain his powers.
That's why I took the elixir pill from you.
I originally thought I could use the Lotus Lantern to help the little fox.
But with that punch of Ding Xiang...
Ding Xiang handed me to Er Lang Shen
in exchange for him to remove his thoughts from her.
Er Lang Shen used his power to prolong my life.
I also made use of the power from him to achieve Sky Breaking Palm.
Fourth Princess asked me to come out with the pretext of revenge as a cover-up.
I still don't understand why you kept shifting the side you helped.
You really thought, outside Lake Yao
Er Lang Shen and I didn't know your soul was still there?
Er Lang Shen, in that case
why did you hand me to the little fox and drive away the Four Kings?
Having driven you away, there would be no one left to help Her Highness.
Chen Xiang.
Now, do you know why my master can control the Lotus Lantern too?
Because my master's power is also based on compassion.
Compassion...
Compassion is good.
Chen Xiang, you've picked up the Magic Ax.
Go now to save your mom!
Let's go. Let's go to Mount Hua together.
I didn't know Er Lang Shen is such a despicable villain.
A villain? Her Highness, he isn't.
He isn't at all.
I feel ashamed compared with him.
On the other hand
if anyone kept my sister under a mountain I... might do something as well.
Bodhisattva, is your bet still valid?
Of course.
If Chen Xiang saved San Sheng Mu
Heaven would change its laws. Otherwise...
I'll help Heaven to resolve the crisis and no law needs be changed.
It's good that you remember.
Your Highness, stop pretending tough.
The Magic Ax could break the sky.
A tiny Mount Hua is nothing to it.
Envoy Jing Tan, just wait and see.
Your Highness, just wait and see.
I'll show you how I break the Universe Bowl.
Chen Xiang...
Uncle, why?
Remember the two reasons God of Death said?
Now the Magic Ax has its own thinking.
But you don't have enough power.
Education, insight and wisdom.
In such a short period of time how could I acquire so much?
You can. You've got the elixir pills and the 5,000 books.
True, they are in my body already.
Now I just need a key to open up the treasure in my body.
There is a key.
The Lotus Lantern?
Do you know how I regained my magic power?
- How? - I went inside the lantern.
Go inside the lantern?
Right. So you must go inside the lantern too.
But it's dangerous.
If you can't exert all the elixir pills' power
the power left will be trapped in the lantern.
The power will resist the lantern's power.
You'll die of the attacks from both powers.
If you can't come out before the oil runs out
you'll be trapped in the lantern forever.
I am finally exerting all powers in my body.
Xiao Yu transformed into the wick and melded with your body.
You can keep her forever with you.
