[Magic Star]
~ Episode 1 ~
Older Bro Bai Ze, take a look quickly! It's very pretty!
The Emperor specially arranged this for you.
[Bai Ze] [ Descendant of Legendary/Son of Heaven Strategy] [Old Head on Young Shoulders/Genius of Battle]
[Zi Su] [Empire's Precious Jewel/Cold Princess with a Tender Heart] [Young Magical Healer/Demon Punisher Saint]
[The Emperor]
[Black Dragon King]
Older bro, did you specially arrange for this too?
There is an assassin! Protect the Emperor!
Your Highness, quickly take Princess Zi Su into the palace.
- There are traps that I designed inside. Leave now!- Leave now. Let's go
Older bro!
Your Highness!
Older Bro Bai Ze is really great. He was shot.
I didn't expect my shower of arrows would be so useful during critical moments.
- I will design one for you too in the future. - Okay.
Aren't you embarrassed in saying this?
Bai Ze, I pressed this for about a hundred times just now.
That was a matter of life and death. Do you know that?
Your Highness, please don't be angry. I will make more improvements in the future.
- Okay, get up. Get up. - Thank you, Your Highness.
Bai Ze, go and take a look now. Check who's the person who is so gutsy.
Yes.
Speak. Who sent you here?
Emperor, today is the day of your death!
Older bror!
Zi Su!
She is a demon exterminator.
Hurry up!
Everyone, step back!
- Let me go! - Zi Su!
Let me go!
You are not allowed to release the arrows! Be careful not to harm the Princess!
Release the arrows!
Zi Su!
Lord Ding. Did you find out who was the assassin transformed from the bat yesterday?
Reporting, Your Highness.
We still don't have any clues about those who died and escaped yesterday.
Ding Song,
you are the Minister of State, who command and control of palace guards.
How did the assassin escape your eyes,
enter and leave the palace that easily? Speak! [Ding Song ]
If it weren't for Bai Zhe and Zi Su last night,
I would have died.
I think...that if Your Highness didn't insist on lighting fireworks yesterday,
it wouldn't give those assassins a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Moreover, the imperial treasury is currently in a strained state.
Even it's for the Princess's birthday celebration, it shouldn't be so extravagant.
What are you implying?
I just hope that Your Highness can focus more on government matters. That will be the society's blessing.
I think you are trying to insinuate, and
was beating around the bush to say that Your Majesty is a useless king.
I wouldn't dare to.
Zi Su, you must not being so rude to Lord Ding.
Then, quickly investigate who the assassin is.
I will definitely investigate this thoroughly.
What should I talk about today?
I'll talk about the origin of these Heaven Strategy messengers.
Great! Great!
It was said that at that time, there was a battle between the humans and the demons.
The killings between the Mortal realm and the Demon realm turned everything into darkness for both sides.
But at that moment, there were Four Supreme Ones appeared.
These four supreme ones gathered the five magic stars to summon the divine power
[Huang Qian Xun]for shutting down the doorway between the two realms.
With that, great misery and suffering in the mortal world was prevented.
You little rotten rascals!
Tomorrow is your father's death anniversary.[Zhang Xiong Fei] [Passionate Half-Human and Half- Demon] [Fierce and Demoniacal Ruffian Hero]
I let you guys come here to buy paper money[Zhang Xiong Fei] [Passionate Half-Human and Half- Demon] [Fierce and Demoniacal Ruffian Hero]
and you sneaked here to listen to stories. Come home with me now.
[Yuan Shuai] [Honest and Straightforward Block Chopper] [His High Morality Blade is as High as the Sky]
Zhan Xiong Fei, Zhan Xiong Fei. You are already a grown up.
What should I say about you?
You are so playful every day.
How are you going to let your father in Heaven rest in peace?
The magic tricks that he taught you,
you have only learned just the basics.
How are you going to make ends meet and marry a wife in the future?
Thirteenth Older Sis, didn't my father left me a precious sword?
Moreover, those stories by the storyteller are very interesting.
- About the battle between the humans and the demons, and saving the world, I... - Stop!
The stories by the storyteller are all fabricated.
We are just ordinary people
living a simple life.
Stop having those wild imaginations now.
What about my father's precious sword then?
When you were young, your father was very poor.
He pawned the sword in order to raise you.
Lady Boss, someone is looking for you.
Yes. I will be there soon.
Yuan Shuai.
Today is Zhan Xiong Fei's father's death anniversary.
- Help me to keep watch on him. Don't let him get into trouble again. - Okay.
- Come with me. - Yes.
Dad, your son is here to see you.
I didn't come empty handed this time.
I brought you nice food and wine.
Dad, I'm not a filial son.
I disobeyed you and didn't just obediently be a magician.
It's because I really don't... I really don't want to continue to stay in this small town anymore.
I want to take a look out there.
I think if you are still alive,
you will definitely give me and Yuan Shuai your support.
You have made a mistake. This is our Abbot's.
[Residence of Mr. Jiao Yuan Chi's Spirit]
This is Old Master Zhan's.
[Residence of Mr. Zhan Wei Ding's Spirit]
Father, I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake. There is still some left.
[Residence of Mr. Zhan Wei Ding's Spirit]
I do... I will repeat myself.
Father, your son... your son isn't filial.
I disobeyed you.
Zhan Xiong Fei, it's time to repay the money.
Both Big Bros, this is a Buddhist scared ground.
It's not right for you to behave like this.
Fine. Go down the mountain and talk to our Big Brother then.
- Wait a minute!- Alright.
I will definitely return this money.
But... give me three days worth of time.
It's okay not to go down the mountains, too. Let's cut off his arms to repay his debt.
-That works too! -Wait a minute!
Don't panic. Don't panic. His father is in our hands.
Hey!
Big Brothers, I was wrong. I'll obey. I'll obey.
Isn't that enough for me to obey? I...
But I really don't have any money on me right now!
Hey! Hey! Don't be rash! Don't be rash!
Put my father down!
There is only one solution now.
I will use my life to repay my debt.
You must promise me, once I'm dead,
- you must let go of my father. - This...

Older Bro Fei!
How could he die?
- Boss said only to get back the money. - Older Bro Fei!
- He didn't say we should take his life. - OLder Bro Fei!
- Older Bro Fei, you must not die. You must not die.- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
If you die, I will be alone.
Older Bro Fei.
I didn't die.
- This knife... - It's a magic knife. One won't die from being stabbed by it.
Let's go now. Let's go now. Let's go now. Help me up.
My father and your father too.
Something is not right. This cunning rascal wouldn't die that easily.
That's right.
- Let's go back and take a look. - Okay.
Hey, I told you to be on the lookout and you let two guys in.
Did you know that our fathers were almost smashed to pieces?
But aren't our fathers already in this state?
No. Your father was... My father...
I'm so furious.
Older Bro Fei,
don't gamble in the future again. Gambling is not good.
I'll help you to pay back the debt you owe Ma Da Dao.
When my father was alive, he said that I'll never be a remarkable person.
He told me to follow you in life and death.
Don't worry.
I am someone that will become a great hero with indomitable spirit and is admired by millions.
When that time comes, we'll let those who bullied us know how great we are.
When we walk on the streets then, just imagine,
all the young girls will open their windows
competing to wave their hands towards us and to know us.
- That kind of feeling... - It's great.
Older Bro Fei, there are people chasing us now. Shouldn't we think about how to escape first?
Yuan Shuai, based on the current situation,
it's useless reasoning with them. The bad guys won't be sensible.
Thus, we should make a detour.
- Make a detour. Make a detour as far away as possible. - Okay.
- Ignore them. - Let's go.
That way.
Bai Ze, I believe you have heard about the magic stars
but there is something that not everyone knows about.
That is when the divine power of the Five Magic Stars are depleted,
they'll turn into five ordinary rocks scattered in the universe.
It must go through another five hundred years before such a divine power will occur again.
Now the time is approaching, magic stars will appear again.
I hope you can collect the five magic stars
and protect the people of the world.
- Your Highness, but my identity...- Wait...
It's because of your identity, that's why I want you to go.
I believe that you also want to know the truth behind the change in the Heaven Strategy.
Superficially, the Department of Heaven Strategy seems to just help the royal family in any place
to settle all problems
but in reality, there is only one motive for every operation.
That is to find and get back the five Magic Stars.
But all these years, we only found the Green and Black Magic Stars.
Fifteen years ago, the Black Magic Star suddenly went missing.
My father insisted on finding the truth.
Although not long after, the leader of Heaven Strategy messengers,
who is also your father, Bai De Ming, suddenly committed a suspicious suicide.
This operation is definitely extremely dangerous.
I have arranged for two excellent assistants to help you.
This is Zhan Ke. He's an excellent swordsman.
This is Yuan San Lang. He is a famous swordsman who uses saber.
Based on the information given to me by my spies, they should be living in seclusion
at the Yanjiao (Wild Goose Reef) Town at hte Northwestern border.
That's why I hope that you'll go there
to ask the two of them to go out from seclusion. Our chances of succeeding will then be increased.
Yes, Your Highness.
Brother Fei, look over there.
Why are there two scarecrows?
They are not scarecrows.
They should be statues.
Look at this.
They look very real.
His eyes moved!
You scared me!
Why aren't they moving?
- It's strange. - Are you alive?
We are brothers. We are competing in martial arts now.
- They can talk. They are humans. - They are humans.
- But what is the meaning of this? - That's right. What is this?
Which sect are you from? Why can't you move?
It's none of your business
but since you are here, you can release our accupoints.
- Release mine first. - Release mine first. I'm older than him.
- Release mine. - Release mine.
- Release mine first. - Release mine first.
- Who do I release first? - Me.
You both are confusing us!
How about this. The two of you dictate to us your moves and Yuan Shuai and I will fight in your behalf.
I will release whoever wins. How about this?
- This is a good idea. - It's not a bad idea.
Okay then.
I was just about to teach you a lesson.
If you're not given a beating, you get out of control.

Yuan Shuai, I can't move.
Me too.
These fools are more idiotic than me.
Great Heroes, what should we do?
What else can we do? Continue to wait for someone to come.
- Zi Su. - Princess.
- Brother. - This is the Palace. You must not do anything rash.
Brother, let me tell you. This is your last chance.
Eunuch Cao, I just realized that
being a King is the most dangerous profession in the world.
Brother, just tell me now. Which direction did Bai Ze head to?
Thank you, Brother.
Men, prepare the carriage. I'm leaving the city.
Your Highness, are you okay?
Brother Fei, will we become dried meat?
We won't.
Before we become that,
our joints will surely have dislocated already and our eyes fallen.
Don't scare me. I don't want to die!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Brother Fei, are you okay?
Where are we?
It seems like something just exploded at us.
Huh?
We can move now.
It's true. We can move now!
Why are you hanging on the tree?
God has protected us!
Come, Brother. Be careful.
It's good that we are fine.
You almost caused us to die.
It's all our fault for fighting
and offending the Heaven.
Whoever our junior sister likes,
let her decide.
Thank you for saving us.
It's really one word awakening a person that's in a dream.
If you need anything in the future,
remember to look for us.
We are taking our leave.
Hey, how are we going to find you if we need to? Tell us!
But... how are we going to contact them?
Didn't we say... What did we say?
We didn't say anything at all.
Brother Fei, can you see something shiny over there?
- It seems so. - Let's take a look.
- Wow. - It's such a beautiful stone.
Brother Fei. This should be a treasure, right?
Of course, it's a treasure.
Let's take this back to Yanjiao town and pawn it.
We will be able to pay back our debts to Ma Da Dao.
Brother Fei, but isn't there is a owner for this?
This fell from the sky.
It's finder's keeper. Why are you talking so much?
Let's go back to our town. We are going to be rich!
Let's go.
I already said many times.
I don't need a Royal Consort! Tell that younger sister of the King of Helan
to go back!
Your Majesty, although the king of Helan of the Central Plains is just a vassal state ruler,
he is currently holding great power and must not be belittled.
Since they are willing to send his sister here for an arranged marriage,
we should be happy about that. Emperor, please think about our country first.
You open your mouth with "protecting the country" and close it with "society".
You are using this to pressurize me.
Don't tell me that I don't even have the rights to decline a Royal Consort?!
Scribe, please record accurately the speech and actions of His Highness today.
Yes.
You are not allowed to make a record of what I said!
Stop.
Ja Ba Ha, what is happening?
To reply Princess Gu Li,
There is someone ahead who has block the path we need to take.
I am worried that it is a thief's scheme.
I will check first.
Princess, please wait for a while.
- Go. - Okay.
Giddy up.
A Ji Ya: a beauty from the grasslands, mysterious double, can enchant a group in hundreds of ways, but all just her doing.
Who told you to come out?
It was too stuffy down there.
I would like some water.
Drink it then.
What are you doing?
Giddy up.
Stop.
Ja Ba Ha, what's the situation out there?
Nothing. There are no thieves.
Someone is dying soon. I don't think he will be able to live.
Let's go.
I say, you are such a busybody.
Stop.
Eh?
Ma Da Dao.
Your report is not bad. The target is fat.
The person that you just saved is following us like a dog.
There are thieves! Be prepared for battle! Protect the princess.
Yes!
Protect the princess to leave!
Yes!
Kill!
Giddy up!
Kill!
Giddy up!
It's done.
Let's go.
Giddy up!
Take her back with us.
Capture her.
I want her alive!
Stop pestering with them! Let's run now!
Let's leave! Run!
Let's go!
Don't. He was just protecting me.
Princess, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Then let's prepare to set out. We must reach Yanjiao (Goose Reef) Town to set up camp today.
Searching for Bai Ze. Hand him to the Princess and the reward is $1,200.
Excuse us.
Wow! One thousand dollars.
Huh? This is not worth a thousand dollars.
I'm referring to this. I'm referring to that Bai Ze guy.
He must be a wanted criminal.
Searching for Bai Ze? The reward is $1,200?
The reward is even from the princess.
What are you thinking of?
I was thinking. If I bring this princess to the inn...
Thirteenth Sister will be very happy.
We are going to be rich!
We know where he is...
We saw that person!
Move. Did you just say that you've seen this person?
What's wrong? It's the first time you have seen a princess and you are speechless?
Haha. Does this mean I need to pay my respects to you?
No, of course not. I do not mind such small things. You're excused.
Yuan Shuai, did you see that? She's trying to be friendly with us.
Hey, what's your name?
I'm Zhan Xiong Fei.
The Zhan in Zhan Chi Gao Fei(spreading one's wings to fly high)?
Gou something Xiong (coward)? - "Xiong" as in "Hero".
Oh, the "Xiong" in "Hero". Then what is "Fei"?
As long as the first two words are right, the Fei word doesn't matter anymore.
I'm Yuan Shuai.
Tian Peng Yuan Shuai's (Marshal Yuan Shuai) Yuan Shuai.(Marshal Yuan Shuai is one of the four great deity of the north pole.)
You both are interesting.
Did you really see him?
Of course we have seen him before. With this Bai, Bai, Bai person...
we are very familiar.
Take me to see him then.
Of course. But on this long journey, we will definitely need to rest.
As for me, I know an excellent inn.
Let's go with them now.
Princess. Although that inn is extremely...
good. However, it is quite small and won't fit everybody.
Go back and tell His Highness that I have found Brother Bai Ze. I will bring him back to the palace.
- Go back first. Yes.
Princess, please come with me.
That's right, Princess. You should be careful when you are out here.
There are a lot of swindlers. Good people like us...
What we sell at the Man hotel is the top customer service.
There are so many people that travel to our inn. What does the name of our inn come from?
It is our endless service that captures the heart of each of our customers.
You must remember this. Do you understand?
Yes.
Zhan Xiong Fei, will based it on our old practice. I'll deduct half of your salary and save it for you.
Yuan Shuai, you went out with Xiong Fei to have fun too.
Your salary will also be deducted in half so you learn from this.
- This... - Also, listen carefully.
In the future, if I find out that you went to listen to those nonsensical stories again, I will deduct all your pay.
Yes.
Lady Boss, this place is too dry.
Get me some water quickly.
You, Zhang Xiong Fei, go get me 10 towels so I can take care of my skin.
Okay.
Lady Boss, give me your best vacant room
immediately.
Sorry, the best room has already been taken up.
Princess Gu Li from the Helan prairie is here.
I will repeat myself. Give me the best vacant room now.
I am already staying at the best room in this inn.
Who are you?
You don't even know who I am? I...
She is also a princess. She is the sister of the current king.
She is a princess. I'm a princess too.
Plus, we should also talk about who was here first.
You better not cross me. If I go home and tell my brother, I'll make you guys leave immediately!
Hold on!
The princess is very beautiful too. You are all rich and important people.
It's not good to use your swords. I have a great peaceful solution.
Zhan Xiong Fei.
Continue talking.
General, why don't we make a bet?
Yanjiao Town.
Hello. Do you know the person in this drawing?
This, have you seen this?
Hello. Do you know the person in this drawing?
I don't.
- May I ask if you know the person in this drawing? - No.
Hello. Do you know these two people, Zhan Ke and Yuan San Lang?
- I don't recognize him. - Please think more carefully.
They are both city people. They are living here.
I'm not too sure.
- You are looking for someone, right? - Yes.
You should go to the Man inn up ahead. There's plenty of people there.
There's a lot of news circulating there that I think would help you.
- Thank you. - It's okay.
Make a bet on the three dice. One bet decides the winner.
- Are you fine with this? - Yes.
About this, that...
You go first general.
Wow.
No way. It's sixteen.
I think you should pack your stuff and let Princess Gu Li have the room.
Don't be like this, General. Give Princess Zi Su another chance.
Come
Let me take a look.
Okay.
I'm going to check it.
Three sixes!
You are great!
Princess Zi Su has lucky hands. The room is decided then.
Wait!
You!
About this...
Don't, General! He's just a kid.
Don't bother with him, okay?
Yes, we are just kids.
You are really something.
I was almost fooled by you.
- You know magic tricks, right?- No...what we know are just insignificant tricks.
I know some.
Come here.
Regarding the room...
Just prepare any rooms for us.
Leave that room for Princess Zi Su. We won't give you any problems.
Fine.
- You can leave. - Yes.
When I just got into town, I saw them preparing for a festival at the temple for the past two days.
we want to participate in the festivities too.
I just saw that your magic trick was not bad.
I wonder if you are willing to work with me.
Work with you?
