Under King Zhou's orders, Li Jing led the troops to Quanrong.
This is his first time on battlefield without his wife.
It seemed to him that every step he took spelled impending danger.
He has a premonition.
General, everything is peaceful at the Quanrong borders.
Our enemies must be terrified of our Li family.
Danger lurks beneath the peaceful surface.
We have to be on our toes all the time.
Yes, General.
A letter from Grandma. They haven't found Mother.
Tell Grandma and Aunt to continue searching.
Whether successful or not, be sure to keep us updated.
Attention! In the name of Shang, kill all the bald-headed soldiers!
Hold him hostage.
Follow them! Forget it. Withdraw our troops. Why Father?
We have the upper-hand now.
The enemies are wasting away. We should pursue them. Why retreat?
My word is final. Retreat!
Retreat!
General.
Any news of Shiniang?
No.
Why are you here then?
I've questioned the prisoner. He has revealed their camp location.
They only have one commander The rest just make up numbers.
General, we should capture the enemy's commander first.
It will shake their very roots.
General, it is a misty night.
Let's spring a surprise attack on them!
We must grab this opportunity.
All right. You may go out.
- General! - Leave!
Yes.
Wait, come back.
Yes, General?
Send an urgent message to my mother. Keep looking for Shiniang.
It's been so long.
Why are you still standing there?
Yes, General.
There's only Shiniang on your mind. Where do I stand?
Shiniang is grateful to Heaven for letting her find Nezha.
But in the midst of happiness, she feels a sense of loss.
Nezha has unlimited potential, yet he's so insolent.
She did not fulfill her duty as a mother.
Ji Chang? West Marquis!
West Marquis!
- West Marquis! - Mrs Li?
Long time no see.
Why have you come all the way to Xiqi?
It's a long story.
What happened? Why are you in this state?
Retribution really exists in this world
Nezha has such a pitiful predicament.
I have to accept Heaven's will.
It is also Heaven's will that you meet again.
From now on, your whole family will be reunited.
That's the problem.
Why so?
You know Li Jing.
When it comes to state matters, he will listen to no one.
He is positive Nezha will destroy Shang.
Nezha is strong-headed. They will never come to terms.
Enmity brought them together.
If I had known Huo-er was Nezha, I would've spared him
No. Spare the rod. and you'll spoil the child.
It requires so much discipline to nurture one's capabilities.
I'm afraid he'll be overly capable.
This child is ambitious and arrogant.
Without discipline, he's bound to go astray.
My expedition does not allow me to discipline him any longer.
It's all right. Go ahead.
Leave it to me. I'll be just as soon. I will whack him.
It'll be hard on you
Not at all. My pleasure!
What is Father thinking?
Knowing where their barracks are. we should wipe them out.
We've been following him onto the battlefield for years.
We may be his sons, but our opinions never matter.
We may be titled vanguards, but we're only minor pawns.
Who are we in his eyes?
You think Master is wrong too?
Don't fret I'm sure no one approves of his decision.
Even I can't comprehend what's going on in his mind at times.
It was such a good chance, yet we had to retreat.
Aren't we boosting the enemy's morale at the expense of our own?
Your father has never discussed strategies with you?
Father discusses everything with Mother and no one else.
Why don't you prove yourselves to him?
Prove to him?
We already know where their barracks are.
If we launch a surprise attack, we should succeed.
We will be punished for acting on our own.
Consider it carefully.
If you want to succeed, you'll have to bear the risk.
Where's your commander?
Brother, are you all right?
Find reinforcements!
How is it, Brother?
Be prepared to be my mistress. Back to the camp!
Jing-ge save us! Jing-ge!
Luckily you arrived in time to save me from the lascivious giant.
Jinzha, were you hurt?
I'm fine, Father.
Why were you so rash?
We wanted to do something for you. We're sorry.
General, this place is dangerous. Let's return to our camp.
Let's go back then
- General! - Father!
Quick, protect the General. Retreat!
I already sent out a command not to act on your own.
Why did you defy me? You tell me.
Don't blame them. They are both young heroes.
Eager to serve the state, they launched a surprise attack.
Whoever defies my command will not be pardoned.
Do you two brats want to be beheaded?
Master, please spare them. I am the one to blame.
I saw them drowning their sorrows, yet I did not comfort them.
Knowing they planned to attack the enemy's camp by night,
I didn't talk them out of it. I failed in my duty.
Though the two vanguards defied orders and created trouble,
they lack military experience. Death is too heavy a punishment.
If you have to blame them, I'm willing to shoulder it for them.
Father. Er-niang is not to blame. We will accept punishment.
Simmer down, General.
The war between Li Jing and the Quanrong Giant has been triggered,
Let's see. what's happening at Xiqi.
There's been an unusual phenomenon in the weather here.
Day and night are interchanged, harvest is bad,
and the animals are restless.
What is happening?
It rains everyday. So boring. Let's find something to play.
I'm not in the mood to keep you company.
What wrong with Heaven? The weather is so unpredictable.
My wings are becoming moldy and smelly.
Really? Heaven is so detestable.
You'll be punished for scolding Heaven.
We're celestial soldiers. We won't be punished!
That's right.
Lianhua
You again? Fire-Spitting Boy, save me!
I'm not here to frighten you. Don't be afraid.
I'm here to explain the previous misunderstanding face-to-face.
No need. Just talk to me.
I only wish to talk to Lianhua. Please stand aside.
My throat getting uncomfortable.
What do you want?
I feel like burning something. If you're smart, scram now.
Otherwise, I might just burn.
The Dragon Temple.
Or burn your East Sea You'll be left homeless then
Remember your words!
Lianhua, I'll come back for you Wait for me.
Scram!
That wretched dragon! Don't be afraid.
I'll bash him up.
Are you asking for a beating.
I've no interest in fighting an uncouth man like you.
Are you aware of he is in control of nature?
Who hails the clouds and summons the winds?
If you don't. consult your teacher!
Do you know?
What about you?
Right... the Dragon King.
That bastard dragon again. No wonder it's hailing and frosting.
My wings are getting moldy.
Descendants of the dragon family are worse than their forefathers.
I'll burn the Dragon Temple and the Dragon Mother Pagoda.
No, Fire-Spitting Boy.
Burn the Dragon Temple?
Teacher.
Teacher...
Fire-Spitting Boy said it
Why did you say that?
The Dragon King is in the wrong. He disrupted life on earth.
I don't care who's right or who's wrong.
We shouldn't trifle with the immortals.
If we infuriate the Dragon King, he might just flood Xiqi.
What do we do then?
The Dragon King merely threatens people.
I defeated the Third Dragon Prince, remember?
Stop stirring trouble.
The Third Dragon Prince may be a tyrant,
but the Dragon Mother is benevolent.
It's the Dragon Mother's birthday. We can pay our respects to her
And hope the Dragon King will let this matter rest on her account.
Teacher, even you can't tell right from wrong.
Who wants to pray to a god of plague? We might as well burn her.
We'll have a break today. Go home and prepare some offerings
We will meet at the Dragon Mother Pagoda tonight
Yes, Teacher
Pray all you want!
Let's see who you'll pray to after I burn the pagoda down
Don't bother about him. Class dismissed.
Yes, teacher
On the night of the Dragon Mother's birthday,
The Third Dragon Prince and his escorts crept to Earth.
The pagoda is erected in honour of the Dragon Mother.
Why is the third prince setting fire to his ancestor's pagoda?
Forgive the children for offending the Dragon King unknowingly.
The weather in Xiqi has been unpredictable.
We have come with offerings to ask for forgiveness.
Pardon us, Dragon Mother. May the Dragon King simmer down.
Do pardon us. It's been snowing and raining within a day.
And typhoons blow in the night.
The streets are deserted. Looks like we have to close shop soon.
You are magnanimous. Please forgive us.
Pardon us, Dragon Mother. May the Dragon King simmer down.
Why is there so much smoke?
Are there many people offering joss-sticks?
Teacher, there's a fire.
Let me see.
The pagoda is on fire!
What should we do?
Calm down. Don't be scared.
A gentleman remains calm in the face of danger
We have Flying Boy.
You can fly. Bring us down one by one.
Hurry then.
Go in..
What now?
Teacher, didn't you say a gentleman remains calm?
Quick, shout for your life!
Help! Help.
There's no way Fire-Spitting Boy can clear his name this time.
He's in no position to challenge me.
What's happening?
The Dragon Mother Pagoda is on fire. The students are trapped.
I'm going to put out the fire.
The students... Nezha!
Did you see Fire-Spitting Boy?
All the students are inside.
Nezha!
Have you lost your mind? You're courting death.
I have supernatural powers. This fire can't kill me.
It's burning me!
I thought you had supernatural powers?
It's the Five-flavoured Sacred Fire.
So you're a lunatic. How can fire be flavoured?
Deities from above and below! Cover my body with a shield!
Help...
What can we do?
I don't wish to die yet.
I haven't become a celestial being.
Father, forgive me for not being able to take care of you anymore.
Fire-Spitting Boy, where are you? Quick, save me!
Don't be afraid..
Don't be afraid
Demoness!
Where's Nezha? Has he been burnt to death?
Who is Nezha?
Fire-Spitting Boy.
Fire-Spitting Boy didn't come. He's not here.
Thank goodness he didn't come.
Don't go Aren't you going to save us?
Come back...
Sorry, it slipped my mind
How did this happen?
Are you hurt?
We were frightened to death. What a close shave.
It's better to be scared to death than burnt to death.
The demoness saved us.
The one who fought with me?
Don't call her a demoness anymore.
If she hadn't saved us, we would have been dead.
Why isn't she out yet?
Could she have been burnt to death?
Should someone go up and save her?
Teacher, don't worry. She's a demoness with supernatural powers.
She'll be fine. Let's wait a while.
What's taking her so long?
It's been so long.
Something is not right. Flying Boy, you take a look.
Madam. Are you all right?
I'll get Fire-Spitting boy to save you. to save you
No, don't let him come up. The smoke is poisonous.
But you're in grave danger.
Hold him back. Don't let him come up.
He's rash. Don't let him come up.
I can't leave you there to die.
I be fine Remember, don't let him come up.
Madam, you be careful.
Dragon Mother you are a mother too.
Why are you so cruel?
It took me so much pain to find him.
And now I have to leave him so soon.
I once said I don't mind having my life shortened if I found my son.
I'm not going back on my word, but I went through so much.
At least let me hear him call me Mother for once.
Dragon Mother, please have a heart.
Nezha.
Mother will not leave you.
Are you all right? Wake up... Madam.
Don't be afraid. Mother is here by your side.
Me? Afraid? Has the fire damaged your brain?
What do you want to eat? Mother will buy it for you.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx No, thanks.
What's taking them so long?
They're out.
Fire-Spitting Boy, how is she? Put her down first.
Madam, are you all right'?
No more horse rides...
Look how comfortable she is! Still talking in her dreams.
Luckily I have a protective shield.
I would've died otherwise! She's such a jinx.
Don't say that. She is our benefactor.
That's right
She's in a state of delirium. Let's get her a physician.
All right Come.
Thank you for blessing us, Goddess Nuwa.
Luckily our saviour only suffered external injuries.
I wonder what that Madam is up to.
First, she makes a fool of us. Then she saves you from the fire.
Don't you find her weird?
No. What is weird is how the pagoda caught fire suddenly.
Yes, why? We were nearly burnt to death.
It wasn't ordinary fire, but the Five-flavoured Sacred Fire.
Flavoured-sacred Fire?
Why look at me? Surely you're not suspecting me?
You were the one who said you were going to burn the pagoda.
To think you're suspecting a good friend. Are you nuts?
He could have said it in a moment of anger. It may not be him.
Lianhua is right.
Who else can it be?
Fine! So what if I was the culprit? I can do it again.
So it's you.
Father, you heard it yourself. He burned our pagoda.
You mountain demon, how dare you burn our pagoda!
Men, take him back to the palace.
- Yes. - Hold it.
I'm open and aboveboard. If I did it, I would admit it.
But I really didn't set fire.
If you dare touch me, I'll report you to the Jade Emperor!
So?
We couldn't tell who was in the wrong in your fight with Bing-er.
I let the matter rest on West Marquis'account.
This time you admitted to burning the pagoda.
- Men, arrest him! - Yes!
Hands off!
Hands off! Heard her?
Who is this demoness?
Dragon King, I am only a lowly commoner. You won't know me.
But I know you're a man of reason.
Fine, let's reason it out.
Thank you.
You said Fire-Spitting Boy admitted to burning the pagoda.
But those were merely his own words.
Now I say I'm the Heavenly Mother. Why aren't you on your knees?
You can say you're the Longevity God. Are you him then?
He says he is Longevity God too. Will you pray to him?
Of course not. Verbal statements are no guarantee.
Most importantly, were there any witnesses?
Did anyone witness it? Students, did anyone witness?
No....
No one saw him doing it.
But I saw something.
I saw him reading and writing in the morning.
You were disobedient and stole a nap in the afternoon.
Toward the end of the day he mended the roof-top.
Where could he find the time to set fire?
Such a good child, reading, writing and mending the rooftop.
How could he possibly commit arson?
Father, don't listen to the demoness's nonsense.
Let me catch him myself and execute him.
Don't resort to violence. Reason, remember?
Why should I believe you?
I understand. But there's someone you ought to trust.
Who's that?
He's in a faraway place but I have his token o authonty.
Fine. Let's go. Father!
Leave!
We don't welcome you. Go!
Father, I don't understand. Why did you listen to the demoness?
I trust the token of authority. not the demoness.
It belonged to one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Jing.
That woman must be closely related to Li Jing.
We must see who we're dealing with.
Jing and I are sworn-brothers. I will let this matter rest.
- But. - Say no more!
The Third Dragon Prince has no choice but to retreat.
He insists Nezha must be sowing discord between him and Lianhua,
and preventing them from being together.
He vows to get rid of this thorn in his flesh.
Whatever it is, don't offend them again.
I'm not afraid of them.
This lady is right. Why talk about violence all the time?
We should treat each other with kindness
Why have you followed us here? Do you know you're trespassing?
Don't be so fierce. She helped you after all.
Who exactly are you? Why do you treat Fire-Spitting Boy so well?
You think I want to? I've been entrusted to do so.
Who entrusted you?
You all know her. It's Goddess Nuwa.
- Goddess Nuwa? - Yes.
One night, as I was asleep, light rays shone into my room.
After that, I heard celestial music. Then I woke up.
Guess who I saw when I opened my eyes?
You said it was Goddess Nuwa.
Right! It was Goddess Nuwa.
She entrusted me with the duty of teaching him magic and to study.
She said you are gifted and are bound to become a celestial being.
But you need someone to guide you along.
I see.
Then you must learn properly.
You concentrate on your powers. I'll concentrate on my business.
I want to become a celestial being too.
Hang on.
Did Goddess Nuwa really send you?
Yes, didn't you see it just now?
The token of authority scared the Dragon King away.
It belonged to Goddess Nuwa.
Don't underestimate me. I have great powers.
You have powers?
You doubt me? Stand aside. I'll do a demonstration.
Look carefully. Abracadabra! Change!
- I told you she is a hoax! - She doesn't have any powers.
Again... Change!
Three-eyed Boy, how has business been lately?
Not too bad. I've earned quite a sum for my father.
Your father must be really pleased.
Abracadabra! Change!
See! I told you I had great powers. Do you believe me now?
Yes!
Do you want to learn?
Yes.
Teach me how to turn into the Longevity God. Please...
Not yet. Goddess Nuwa said to guide you in your studies too.
Studying comes before magic. So you have to study first.
Don't bother about studying. Will you just teach me magic?
Say no more. Study for a day and I'll shall impart a skill to you.
No.. make it two days of studying for one skill.
If you disobey me, you're disobeying Goddess Nuwa.
It's been 3 months. The King isn't happy with your performance.
But don't worry. I was there to put in a good word for you.
As long as you vanquish the enemy in quick time, he won't blame you.
I will return with the Giant's head in three days time.
That would be best. One more thing...
Please, speak your mind.
It has been rumoured that Madam did not come with the troops.
Everyone in the Imperial Court is discussing this issue.
Someone even said you had a change of heart after having a concubine.
I can understand the situation.
But some things are better heard than seen.
Your Excellency, my wife left home to settle some family matters
The rumours aren't true. Thank you for your concern.
- Really? - Yes.
But you must bear in mind.
You must never abandon the wife who's shared hard times with you,
or you'll set tongues wagging. I shan't hold you up any longer,
Yes, Your Excellency
I take my leave.
Master.
General, there's a message.
Is there news of Shiniang? Speak.
There's no news of her as yet, but...
But what?
Rumours have it that she fought in Xiqi and burnt many residences.
And?
She might be involved in the arson of the Dragon Mother Pagoda.
- Father. - General!
Master, I'll help you back to your tent.
Madam can we start now?
Remember, you must always be patient.
And you must concentrate fully!
There is the special chant. Abracadabra!
Repeat after me.
Abracadabra!
Three-eyed Boy! Why aren't you chanting?
I want to save some energy to tend the store later.
Madam, leave him alone. Let's continue.
As you chant, follow this hand signal.
Concentrate. As you chant, think of what you want to become. 473 00:36:31,640 -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 00:36:34,679 That'll do the trick. Understand? All right, begin.
Abracadabra! Change!
I'm done. You're done already?
When you were still chanting, he had already changed.
Your disciple is faster, than you!
Don't say that.
Abracadabra. Change!
You must have immortal roots to learn this, just like him.
He is the best material
What is this to me?
Abracadabra. Change!
I'll do another one.
Enough. Transform back to your original self.
Abracadabra Change!
No transforming into the deities. That's being disrespectful.
West Marquis said I'll! become a celestial being too.
But I can't seem it master it.
Be patient. Try again. 492 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Abracadabra. Change!
Flying Boy don't be anxious. People differ in potential.
For example, I'm denser. I've to make up for it by being diligent.
Perhaps I'm not cut out for the transformation skill.
Is there a see-through skill?
Great!
What do you mean?
You're so mischievous. Don't lead Fire-Spitting Boy astray,
or I'll skin you!
I was joking.
Don't mix with him. Learn from Three-eyed Boy.
He's filial and obedient. He stands there quietly,
and doesn't pester me to teach him this and that.
But I'll like to learn a skill too.
Finally! That's the way.
Why should a celestial being learn to do business?
I'll teach you.
Not this. I want to learn to read a person's mind.
Who is it?
My stepmother's cousin is helping out in the store.
He has a glib tongue and has attracted many customers.
But the money we earn gets lesser each day.
I suspect he's been stealing from the store.
So you want to use it to see if he has indeed been stealing money?
That's right.
For your store again.
Is there really such a skill?
Don't be dejected If you can't see with one eye, use the other.
If not, you have a third eye too. 521 00:39:14,040 -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 00:39:17,679 He can't possibly escape from all three eyes of yours.
Quan, do a stock take. Then collect the bill from Xu.
Yes, right away.
Yang Jian, you're distracting me by walking up and down all day.
Go in and take a rest since there are no customers.
No, I have to work.
I eat so much. It's only right that I contribute as much. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll clean the pots.
Clean those on the top rack then They're really dirty.
I saw you stealing from the drawer.
No wonder the money is getting lesser.
Come with me to see Father.
I'm your relative after all.
Besides, you know how ill your father is.
You know the consequences of telling him.
Of course He will praise me.
You're so stupid. You will drive him to his grave.
I'm not an idiot. He will be mad if I don't tell him.
Come with me. Father...
Hands off.
Father...
Let's go.
Master Yang, don't worry. It's not too serious.
Mrs Yang, take good care of him. He mustn't be agitated!
Sir, you mean to say my father cannot be angered?!
Yes, of course.
- No even a bit? - Yes.
You wish to drive your father to his grave?
Don't forget the physician's words.
Your father mustn't be angered.
I'll heard him. I'll let you go this time. You must start afresh.
Don't let me catch you stealing again.
Of course. We're relatives. I want the store to do well too.
I wish for my cousin's husband to be well too. We're family..
Hurry, put the money, back then.
Didn't we agree we're family? Why be so calculating?
The profits I've earned for the store aren't only these.
General.
General, why are you in armour? You should be resting.
I'm planning a sneak attack.
Please guard the camp in my absence.
General..
General, you're seriously injured. How can you set off alone?
General, please go back and rest.
That's right.
Get up.
Master, the two brothers are right. Spare a thought for your safety.
I promised to return with the Giant's head in three days time.
Three days is almost up. I must keep my word.
But the Giant is formidable. It'll be dangerous to go alone.
I'd rather die in battle than let those scoundrels mock at me.
Father.
Death is minor. Integrity's what matters most.
Say no more.
If I lose my life. take my body back to Chaoge.
Tell the King I die a spirit of the Shangs.
I have no regrets laying my life down for the state.
If I were to be defeated, don't avenge me.
Retreat immediately. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices.
Jinzha, Muzha, if your mother comes home,
tell her the state comes before the family.
I did no wrong but she is gravelly wrong.
Father, I cannot let you face the danger alone. We'll go together.
I'll go too.
We, the Mo brothers, will fight the battle with you.
Today's sneak attack is my personal matter.
You must not follow or I'll shall punish you duly.
Shiniang!
At the critical moment, Shiniang finally appears.
She should have been a thousand li away. What's happened?
