The Taoism Grandmaster
Episode 18
Can you really take me to City of No Tears like this?
I don't know.
I'll try my best.
Other people really can't see you?
Yeah, they can't.
It's Cloak of Invisibility given by Wolf Queen.
It can hide not only my body,
but also my evil vibe.
Even Chief of the Alliance
may not be able to see me.
I'm just worried about...
About what?
A Shrewd Toad.
But its master should already be dead.
Never mind. Relax.
No one will see me.
That's the best.
I'm back.
We've contacted with the Senior Disciple.
Our dead companions have been cremated.
Let's go to Ghost Valley
to meet them now.
You-you alright?
Sure, why not?
You're the one who is not alright.
- He confessed his love to Feifei. - He did?
Frankly speaking, you shouldn't have cheated Tie Lang.
Once a goal is set,
just run towards it.
That's typical of him, isn't it?
There we go.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
OK?
Listen,
we have cremated 13 competitors.
May their souls rest in Mount Taoism.
Oh, yes.
I just got a message from Feifei
that Tie Lang has recovered.
Really!
What about General Shadow?
He has been completed eradicated by Tie Lang.
Now Zhang Ling and Fei
are coming to join us.
Good job!
Finally we revenged for the dead.
Tie Lang is really something.
He could even kill General Shadow.
We, trials, tasks, grow up,
incomparable.
He said,
through series of trials and tasks,
we've grown up so much,
so we're now incomparable with our past.
What...Well...
It's about time to leave.
Yu!
Now,
let's go.
Come on.
Thank you.
For what?
I misunderstood that
you were haunted by General Shadow.
Me, too.
And...
you didn't tell others about Yu.
I'm just not in the mood.
It's hard to tell later on.
Hopefully we're no longer enemies.
Ying,
hold on.
Sir, are you OK?
Yu, good?
Yeah.
Wang Wei seems not here.
Did you see him?
Where has he gone?
I didn't see him, either.
It seems Zhang Ling was right.
Wang Wei is a total mystery.
If Han Shang didn't get in his way,
he would have defeated General Shadow.
I reckon that his cultivation
has already reached the state of Spirit.
I doubt if I can
attack General Shadow
without being noticed.
Sound, Breath, Soul, Qi,
if you can't conceal them all,
it's impossible to hide from General Shadow.
If he hasn't reached the state of Spirit,
he couldn't have managed it.
I hate people gossiping about me
behind my back.
Now that you've noticed me,
never regret for that.
If he stabbed us on our back just now,
we even wouldn't know how we were killed.
Our real rival finally makes his debut.
The Taoism Trial Competition
is getting more and more interesting.
Feifei!
Senior Disciple!
Senior Disciple.
- Yun Qi! - Feifei.
Fei.
You didn't get hurt, right?
Actually...
Not at all!
That's good.
Tie Lang.
You good?
Tie Lang, you rock!
I'm good. You killed General Shadow!
Exactly.
But as you were haunted,
how could you fight General Shadow?
Yep, tell us about it!
Come on!
Did you use the technique of Invincible Sword
to split him into two?
Into two?
That's too good for him!
He should be hacked into 128 pieces
and tortured to death slowly.
Tie Lang.
Just tell us!
There's nothing to say.
Where are you going?
Zhang Ling,
what's wrong with him?
He might be scared.
Shake a leg.
Or we can't arrive at the Alliance on time.
Let's go.
Let's move.
Everyone is exhausted.
But we still need over 20 hours to arrive.
Well, this part is the biggest challenge.
It is.
I need to talk with Zhang Ling.
You go first.
Hurry up.
Don't!
Donghuang Feifei is the bane of your life.
You never say a good word. Shut up.
I'm telling the truth!
Think about it, how many times have you
ran into danger after staying with her?
Don't go there!
Zhang Ling, I got something to tell you.
What, Feifei?
He confessed his love.
What did he say?
I have to visit the John again.
Wait a sec. Excuse me.
Zhang Ling.
- I... - I...
- You first. - Fine.
Then I go first.
- Actually I... - Stop.
I'd better speak first.
You...
Alright.
When I was cultivating in the Waste Mountain,
there were only me and my master.
At that time,
I was either cultivating
or taking a walk at the Waste Mountain.
I'm not interested
in the outside world.
That's nice.
That's the life of a cultivator.
But that life
will make people an idiot.
You're not an idiot.
You're just...
innocent.
It's the same.
There are still something I don't know how to say
and something I don't know how to do.
Where's Zhang Ling?
Why hasn't he come back?
Is he in danger?
I'll go find him.
Feifei,
maybe that's an illusion.
But when I was haunted by General Shadow,
I really heard you talking to me:
Tie Lang,
if you are a real man,
stand up and tell me about your love.
That's just your illusion.
But...
that's exactly what I desire to do.
Feifei,
I love you.
That's so straightforward!
But that's typical of Tie Lang.
Then,
how did you reply?
I don't love you.
That's way too straightforward!
Your words
will make him sad.
What else can I do?
Lie to him?
Indeed, it's not proper to cheat him
by accepting it.
So,
we can't tell him the truth.
Now that he has confessed to you,
is there any difference whether we cheated him?
The difference is that
it's me who told him to confess,
and it's also me who rejected him.
But you meant to save him.
Be that as it may,
I still feel sorry for him.
Zhang Ling,
don't tell him the truth,
OK?
So Tie Lang doesn't have any chance?
No!
These words are for you.
Zhang Ling,
could you help Tie Lang
straight out these things for me?
Don't worry.
But Tie Lang might want to
be alone now.
Thank you.
Actually, if Feifei and Kunlun become lovers,
it's a good news for you.
What on earth did you see
through Magical Purple Eyes at Ghost Valley?
You won't want to hear.
In the future,
you will meet enemies
more horrible than your imagination.
And Donghuang Feifei is the bane of your life.
If that day comes,
I'll never let her off.
I won't let you hurt Feifei.
Will you abandon me?
I don't care,
if you don't keep away from her,
I'll follow you around forever.
You know what?
When I was trapped
in the Blood Cell for thousands of years,
the only thing that accompanied me
was my memories of those years.
But...
those memories are like an intractable old flame
who can bring me up to the heaven
or down to the hell.
After you tried even means,
did everything possible,
and assumed that you can have him,
have him forever,
you suddenly realize that
you are more and more distant from each other.
At that moment, you realize it's just not working.
How is General Shadow?
He has been killed by competitors.
How many competitors did he kill?
Thirteen.
The Abandoned Squad really lives up to its name.
Much better than the Vanguard.
General Shadow.
You have nothing to regret.
I will help him
fulfill his last wishes.
By the way, I can meet my old flame.
Who?
King Zhou.
My Zi Shou.
They have passed
City of No Tears, haven't they?
Why they haven't arrived yet?
Since the start of this competition,
competitors have experienced continuous battles,
injuries and deaths of companions,
and they need to come back without rest.
They must be worn out now.
Every step is not easy.
Time is running out.
If they still don't show up,
it'll be too late.
They're coming!
Dear competitors, please report
at Taoism Heavenly Palace as soon as possible.
Everything OK?
- Master. - Master.
Go-go inside.
OK. We go first, Master.
-You all good? - Master.
We're back.
Come on, let's get into the palace.
- Master. - Master.
- Dad. - We're back.
Good.
Dad,
I'm back.
Good.
Let's go inside.
I didn't expect you two to come back alive.
I swore
I will outlive you.
Let's go.
The second trial has come to an end.
Out of 34 competitors,
13 were dead,
and 21 passed.
Second trial of the Taoism Trial Competition, completes.
In the Taoism Trial Competition,
28 out of 49 competitors have died.
Any one who wants to quit now?
God of Mirror,
they are already exhausted,
why you do this to them right now?
It's the best time to quit the Taoism Trial Competition.
God of Mirror is right.
Although you'll lose
half of your cultivation if you quit right now,
after all, you can survive.
After the launch of the third trial,
it might be too late to quit.
True.
During the competition,
every moment is about life and death.
If you quit then,
with only half of your cultivation,
you are so dead.
So far,
I believe that all of you
are clear about
the Taoism Trial Competition.
Enemies will definitely be stronger,
and more horrible,
If you want to quit,
it's the right time.
I quit.
Master, I'm sorry.
I let you down.
But I really can't stand it anymore.
But after my withdrawal,
I'll still work hard,
and fight for the Second War again.
Everyone,
sorry.
It's good enough for you
to come so far.
Apart from Shi Quan,
who else wants to quit?
According to the rule of the competition,
if the competitor insists to quit, half of his cultivation
will be absorbed by Bright Moon Mirror.
you understand?
Yes.
Now, show me your Bright Moon Mirror.
OK,
take him back for a rest.
Yes.
Dear competitors, listen up,
the rest 20 of you,
will start the third trial at any time.
Snatch some sleep and preparation.
Always be at my service.
Yes.
Hello, everyone,
for the convenience of your daily routine,
Five chiefs decides to
cancel the entrance control.
So
from this day onwards,
you can get in and out Alliance freely.
But you can go no further than
the hillfoot of Mount Tai and City of No Tears.
As the third trial is gonna start at any time,
everyone of you, please
take your mirror wiith you
to get the order from God of Mirror.
Bu Dong, Xia Yu,
take Jiu Yue and Jiu Ri
to pack up the stuff left behind by the deceased,
ask the Management Team
to send it back to their schools.
Get it.
Kunlun,
I want to say something to you.
OK.
Xiao Yu wants to quit the competition.
It is indeed a shame,
but it may not be bad for her.
No,
our immortal techniques are all taught by you,
you must know that
Xiao Yu is more talent than me,
but she is too timid.
She can go further.
But she has made her decision,
we can't force her.
At least she can toughen herself,
overcome her fear,
otherwise, she will
never be stronger.
You are the Senior Disciple
Xiao Yu trusts the most,
please encourage her
and give her one more chance.
Okay.
I'll talk to her later.
Thank you.
Zhang Ling.
Tie Lang.
Qianqiu,
what's up?
The thing is,
well...
Wanshi knew that we were back.
She clamoured for meeting you.
I was going to find her.
Good!
What's wrong with your teammate?
He's fine.
Maybe he's too tired
and needs some rest.
Do come, please.
Don't make it hard for me.
OK.
What's the smell?
How strange.
It's from you.
You smell like dead rats.
Let's take a shower to refresh ourselves.
That couldn't be illusion.
I really heard Feifei telling me
to confess my love.
Either it's illusion or not,
you have did it, right?
Right.
Now that you have did it,
there's nothing to regret.
Sounds good.
But Feifei rejected me.
She rejected you
but what's wrong with that?
The problem,
the problem is
I'm so frustrated now.
You feel bad.
Do you think Feifei feels good
for rejecting you?
You mean,
I'm too reckless
and make her unhappy?
No,
don't think too much.
I mean,
you have done anything wrong.
Sorry.
I forced you to reject me.
It's my fault.
I know you are into Senior Disciple,
so you'll definitely reject me.
But I still ask you to answer me in public.
It's my fault.
I apologize.
Can you forgive me?
I will.
Will we still be friends?
We're friends as good as before.
Fantastic!
We are still friends!
You hear that?
Feifei and I are still friends.
Feifei forgives me.
We are still friends.
Feifei and I are still friends.
We are still friends.
How smelly!
What's the smell?
The smell of dead rats?
It's maybe
from me.
I'll take a bath right away.
You are here.
Yun Qi,
what's up?
Master wants us
to dine in White Cloud Cave.
But Kunlun wanted me
to return Changfeng's stuff
to God of Flame.
Let's go together.
God of Flame.
What's the matter?
We come to return
Changfeng's Imperial Artifact.
I'm not on familiar terms with Changfeng.
But he always
takes care of us.
We will take revenge for him.
You don't need to take revenge
for my disciple.
You can leave now.
Excuse us.
Please accept our condolences.
Senior Disciple,
take a seat.
Bu Dong told me that
you want to quit, is that so?
But for Bu Dong's advice,
I might have quit.
Am I scary?
Why you always speak so quietly
when talking to me?
No.
You're so nice.
You're not scary.
That's it.
I'm not a demon.
Xiao Yu,
why did you choose to join the Alliance?
My family were killed by demons.
That's why I want to learn the immortal technique,
kill all demons in the world
and bring justice to all.
You know that, Senior Disciple.
Of course I know, but I hope that
you'll never forget why you started.
On the path of cultivation,
the biggest challenge is monsters in your mind.
Fear,
is one of them.
As you are the Mage of Five Great Mountains,
you must conquer your fear.
I tried,
but failed.
You know what?
When Bu Dong asked me
to dissuade you from quitting,
I didn't think I should come.
But he was right.
You're much more talent
and thus go much further than many.
Your only obstacle is fear.
So I decide not to give you up.
Thank you, Senior Disciple.
But I'm worried that I'll let you down.
I was born in a hunter family.
My mom used hair and fur
of beasts such as
black bears, tigers and gray wolves
to weave this Bracelet of Courage.
Take it.
No, I can't.
This is the stuff your mom left to you.
I can't take it.
It's not a free gift.
I just lend it to you for a while.
One day, when you can overcome your fear,
return it to me.
This bracelet is not a magical weapon,
but it reminds you that
with courage,
however ferocious the beast is,
you'll kill it in the end.
This is what the bracelet is about.
If you want to keep going,
give me your hand
and I'll help you put it on.
Thank you, Senior Disciple.
I believe
you won't let me down.
Master,
sorry,
we're late.
Take a seat.
All are here,
Let's get started.
Yes, Master.
Does anyone want some alcohol?
You drink?
Sure.
It's just a long time since the last time I drank.
But a few days ago,
I was dragged by Master of Berserk to Wine's World
and drank a little.
Dad, you went to Wine's World,
are you serious?
I had been there
even before you were born.
Come on.
Wine of the Land.
But,
when we were fighting with General Shadow,
weren't you watching us
by Divine Birds?
I wasn't.
I can't bear it.
Because General Shadow is so formidable.
I don't have the heart
to watch my disciples be killed by him.
Although you come back,
there are some
who can't eat with us today.
Come on,
I propose a toast to mates
who didn't come back.
May their souls rest in Mount Taoism.
Alright.
Tell me,
how did you pass the second trial?
Now that you want to know,
we'll tell you.
But who is the best storyteller?
Senior Disciple, of course.
Fine.
Kunlun,
go ahead.
OK, Master.
I remember, after we got
the second task from God of Mirror,
we decided to split into two teams.
On the way back from Guilai Town
to our Alliance,
our Elves of Mirror broke down.
Qianqiu had to
use his treasure the Clairvoyance
to navigate.
When the Clairvoyance was risen in the air,
I saw Qianqiu
put his hands on his chest.
Tian Xin then asked him what's wrong.
Later we found out that
he did it
not because of injuries
but the Clairvoyance was so expensive
that he
feels heart-broken using it.
Ying, vegetables washed?
Yes, Master.
Here you are.
Give me more seasoning.
Master,
here's what you want.
- Put it there. - OK.
It smells so good!
Isn't it?
Ying,
take some more.
Here, Ju Xiong.
You, too.
Tell me how you pass the task.
Master,
you wouldn't say,
Ying was...
Let me do the talk!
I was like this.
Look at you!
All of you,
come on,
eat more meat.
Now you need to refuel your energy.
Eat more meat.
Thank you, Master.
What's wrong?
You guys always chattered away
during meals,
what's wrong today?
Did something happen?
No,
we were just tired.
I guess
the third trial won't start too soon.
So,
you can have a good rest.
Oh, yes,
What happened in Ghost Valley in your last task?
How did you kill General Shadow?
Tell me about it.
Anything wrong?
Han Gong.
What happened on earth?
- In Ghost Valley... - Gong.
Don't start.
No,
what happened on earth?
Tell me, Yu.
Yu,
how can you talk to me like that?
Tell me,
what happened exactly?
To be honest,
I passed out on stepping into
Ghost Valley.
And I don't know what happened next.
But when I woke up,
I found that
Yu was haunted by General Shadow.
Yu,
how can you be so rude to our master?
I don't want to mention what happened in Ghost Valley.
You were not the only one being haunted.
Take it easy.
No,
not because of that.
Is it about the post?
You know it, don't you?
It's all over now.
And Mei Kongyun,
if she sells me out one day...
I'll go kill her.
Yu, calm down.
Only you, Mei Kongyun and I
know about it.
Even Gong has no idea.
As long as we keep silent,
no one else will know.
Who can promise Mei Kongyun don't give it away?
I can.
Leave her to me.
Just forget it.
But...
-Shang... - Yu.
Listen,
you have a promising future.
It's so nice seeing you again!
I thought you might have already dead.
We, too.
Come in.
Incredible!
Qianqiu,
I finally made it!
I made it!
Wanshi,
it's your first success.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you, Qianqiu.
That's your Imperial Artifact.
It can multiply the increase of your magical power.
Really?
It's my Imperial Artifact?
Change its name.
Change its name?
This sword was given by my master.
it was called Sword of Bright Moon.
It's not cool enough for this sword.
Then, let's call it Sword of Full Moon.
Sword of Full Moon...
I like it.
Good.
OK, call it Sword of Full Moon.
What about yours?
My Magical Egg hasn't hatched.
But my hand aches
from time to time.
Don't worry.
I believe it'll come out one day.
Trust me.
Let's wait and see.
Right,
Where did you get
the two armors?
Where did the scrap metal come from?
We went bankrupt buying it
from your brother.
Don't you say that
your armor is magical?
If it's really a rare treasure,
then that's a big loss for me.
What magic does it have?
You wouldn't think it.
We ran into danger during the competition
and they saved us.
Unbelievable!
OK.
I'll study it now.
You can leave.
Wait-wait a sec.
There's another thing.
We are not good at immortal techniques,
after we got injured,
despite the help from Immortal Medical Team,
our wounds still can't heal.
I wonder if you have
some kind of miracle wound care medicine.
What?
You dare to take her medicine?
You take it,
I won't.
Is there anything wrong with my medicine?
You're the only expert.
Here.
This my newest wound care medicine.
Without Afterlife.
W-Without Afterlife?
If you take it,
however severe the injury is,
applied externally or internally,
you'll never die,
how can you get an afterlife?
Is there any side effect?
I don't know.
That's why I need you to try.
I won't charge you.
Where is she?
Didn't we agree to meet here?
How can I lose nine rounds in a row?
I don't give a damn.
You lose, you drink.
As you wish.
You're mad!
Why are you drinking alcohol?
You mean I should drink vinegar?
You...
Madam,
we are friends.
Then you pay for her.
OK.
She's such a cutie pie,
I'll just charge her 3 liang.
3 liang?
How much did you drink?
I didn't drink much.
And I can drink more.
S-s-stop.
Why you shout at me?
I want alcohol! I want alcohol!
No money, no alcohol.
Keep the change.
You're the son of Zhang Dashun.
You know my dad?
No wonder
you can make friends with her.
You know my dad?
Stop drinking.
Here,
medicine for your wounds.
You are so nice to me.
I'll follow you forever.
Be quiet!
I haven't tried this medicine.
I don't know whether it has side effects.
Any strange feeling?
You sure?
Good.
Oh, right,
I earned the money
through trials.
Take all of it.
You can absolutely
find a good place to stay in City of No Tears.
Keep it.
The hostess told me that
there's a cave behind City of No Tears,
and I can
set a fox den there.
So that we two
can live together.
Fox den sounds good.
You'd better drink less from now on.
