The Taoism Grandmaster
Episode 19
What is past
is past.
We should think about the future.
The future.
We'll think about it
when it's time.
Kunlun,
you're the hope of the Immortal's World.
You have to pass the test
and be the Taoism Seeker.
I promise,
I'll work hard for it
to make you proud.
Not just hard work.
You must become the Taoism Seeker.
Let's build a house in City of No Tears,
shall we?
To our future family
in the city!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
The unceasing sentiment is still in a mess.
Now we have to be apart.
But I want to accompany you
to experience the joys and sorrows of the world.
There are too much love and hate between us.
It's easy to separate yet hard to be together.
I didn't realize my love for you
until tears overflowed my eyes.
The unceasing sentiment is still in a mess.
Can't sleep?
Is your leg okay?
It's fine now.
Here.
Is it pretty?
Yes.
This is the conch I picked up on the East Coast.
It's almost worthless,
but I'd like to give it to you.
Me?
Why?
A gift to a new friend.
Friend?
Are we enemies?
I've got too many enemies,
and I don't want one more.
Nine-tails fox,
what are you thinking?
Chief,
God of Mirror summoned us to come here.
What is going on?
I don't know yet.
Where is Master of Flame?
I visited him on the Immortals Cliff.
He was in poor condition.
He might not come.
Master of Flame is so emotional
that losing
his disciple may defeat him.
Nonsense.
I am not defeated by anything.
I would rather be dead
than defeated.
Sword,
is it courteous of a cultivator
to gossip behind someone's back?
No,
my mistake.
Please accept my apology.
Come on!
He, Master of Rudeness,
has pissed off a lot of people.
What are you saying?
What Master of Rudeness?
Did I say that?
Did I say Master of Rudeness?
Have you heard that?
Stop quibbling.
-You old... -What?
Enough, enough.
You're finally back.
Thank you for your concern.
God of Mirror.
I just found
that the Commander of the Vanguard Army is nine-tails evil fox.
The fox that seduced
King Zhou and caused the Chaos of Deification?
Yes.
She had the cultivation of
over a thousand years back then.
Now her witchcraft
is even more unfathomable.
But she has been despised by the Three Realms
and sealed by the Wolf's World.
How can she yield to the Wolf's World
and become the Commander of the Vanguard Army?
That is the point that I haven't figured out.
The more confusing thing
is that
she doesn't cover her tracks at all.
It seems she wants me to find her.
This is
the evil fox and the Vanguard Army.
The fox
has realized that I've been watching her,
but she has no further moves.
Come, come here.
Come here.
Come to play with me.
Come.
Hurry up.
Come here.
Come.
Let's play.
The girl is the evil fox?
I didn't expect that.
It's dark now,
I just want five of you
to play with me.
Thank you in advance.
But,
I will give you something in return.
I think
you must want to know
where I'm going?
I'm going to...
I won't tell you.
Don't be mad at me.
I'm just joking with you.
Don't blame me.
But,
I can't tell you right now,
or it wouldn't be funny.
Let's play hide-and-seek.
If you can catch me,
I will give you
the first Saint Armor
that you desire.
How about it? Is it attractive?
Come to get me.
By the way,
I gave myself a name,
Bai Qianji.
Remember my name!
The sky is lighting up.
Faceless Man,
have a walk with me.
Yes, Commander.
What is she thinking?
No idea.
But I'm sure
that the enemy in the third trial of the Taoism Trial Competition
is nine-tail fox.
If Five of us fight together against her,
we can't win.
How can the 20 competitors
defeat her?
The first Saint Armor
resurfaced because of the Taoism Trial
Competition.
The clue is the fox.
So it's their unavoidable destiny
to face the nine-tail fox.
No one can prevent that.
When will the third trial start?
When we find the fox again,
the third round will start.
They have disappeared
from the sight of Mirror of Sky.
This time,
she means to hide.
It could take some time
to locate her.
God of Mirror,
although we can't meddle in
the trial,
we can offer them some help
before the trial,
right?
Fine.
Yun Qi,
what is going on?
I don't know.
Is it the third trial?
I don't want it to start so soon.
My wounds haven't healed.
Let's go to see.
Okay.
So many butterflies.
What a beautiful place.
-I don't... -Funny!
understand.
Go ahead.
You didn't have to
expose yourself in front of the Alliance.
Now they must be on their guard
and ready to strike against us.
But,
it seems that you don't care at all,
and you're in a good mood.
They're afraid of
of my existence.
Seeing their faces with fear and panic,
I just want to laugh.
Besides,
they're afraid of me
because they care about me
and put me in their hearts.
Don't you think it's a pleasant thing
to be put
in someone's heart?
It feels good.
I wish they could remember me forever.
Therefore,
I don't want to kill them.
I'm serious.
Can you understand?
Yes.
You're smart.
The first Saint Armor finally showed up.
It showed up.
The third trial will start any time.
Maybe two hours later,
or a month later.
Whenever it starts,
God of Mirror has set the goal for us,
that is, to get the Saint Armor.
But,
your enemy
will be the dangerous nine-tail fox.
Nine-tail fox?
Master,
is it that fox?
Of all ages,
there is only one nine-tail fox.
Now God of Mirror
is reckoning the details of the third trial.
She asked us
to give you special training
to increase your chances of survival.
From now on,
you will be devided into five groups,
led by five chiefs.
All competitors from the Alliance
belong to the first group
under my charge.
Yes.
The second group
is made up of Ju Xiong, Ying and Bufan,
-I'll teach you. -Yes.
I'm in charge of the third one.
-Han's Brothers. -Yes.
My left eye is quivering.
Something bad might happen.
Relax.
She won't take us.
She doesn't like us.
Zhang Ling, Tie Lang.
I'll take you.
The rest of you,
Qianqiu, Tian Xin, Wang Wei, Mei Kongyun
will be in my group.
Yes.
An appeal.
What is it?
I think...
I think Master of Berserk
chooses us
because she doesn't like us.
You're wrong.
Other vice chiefs
don't want to accept you.
I was forced to
choose you.
Reject the appeal.
Seven days later,
if the third trial hasn't started then,
the five groups will face a trial of fight
to check your ability.
Okay.
From now on,
everybody should use every moment
to practice and learn.
Yes.
Why don't you practice with us?
That is a vicious smile.
Be careful.
She's dangerous.
Yes, you're right.
Vice chief,
we're here.
Let's begin.
Begin what?
The training of immortal technique.
Just teach us whatever you want.
Don't waste time.
In such a beautiful place.
A cup of good tea
can clear all the sadness within.
I don't want to
teach two fools anything.
Besides, you're not
worth my teaching.
You said we're fools?
Tie Lang.
Let's go.
Stay,
or you will be kicked out of the competition.
You don't want to teach us.
How can you kick us out?
I have this privilege.
God of Mirror arranged this training.
If you don't
finish the task,
I can kick you out.
You refused to teach us.
It is you who don't finish the task.
I'm going to tell God of Mirror.
Zhang Ling, let's go.
Stop.
You just ruined
my leisurely and carefree mood.
Alright.
I'll play with you.
Hand out your arms.
Don't you want to accept training?
This is the Colorful Two Forces Balls.
My master gave it to me when I was six.
I got bored with it after three days.
Split.
If you can dodge the attack
and hit the balls,
we can talk about the training.
Now begin.
Just a toy for kids.
It's weak.
Two forces ball,
be serious.
So many colors on your face.
You, too.
Red, blue and yellow.
That's why it's Colorful Two Forces Balls.
It means the wounds it causes
will be colorful?
Yes.
Don't worry.
Although it hurts a lot,
the wounds
will disappear six hours later.
Not the face.
Don't hit my face.
If it weren't master,
I wouldn't know that
I was wrongly using the Universal Traceless Technique.
Right.
Let's try again.
This is the first time
I see our master fight seriously.
The immortal technique of our school
is awesome!
Master didn't use all her strength,
otherwise we would have
suffered a crushing defeat.
Right.
That's why we need to make a breakthrough.
How can we beat the fox
if we can't surpass our master?
Gong,
did you see the technique I used
this morning?
Yes.
It's called Aftersound Power.
Master hit you
at the right moment,
so you need more practice.
Concentrate on Lingtai acupoint and draw Qi from Yongquan acupoint.
I don't understand.
Me, either.
Lingtai acupoint is on the head while
Yongquan acupoints are under the foot.
To practice Qi, you need to keep in one state.
To keep in one state
is to concentrate your mind.
So how can you keep your mind on the head
and Qi under the foot?
I hate practicing Qi the most.
It depends on your feeling.
I'd rather learn some fighting skills,
which are practical.
You're wrong.
He must have some reasons for asking us
to practice Qi.
We can't give up,
right?
Yes.
Never give up.
Let's practice.
Master of Flame
is not a good master at all.
You're right.
He wasn't teaching us anything.
He just let us fight with him.
We're no match for him.
Maybe he wants us
to learn from failure.
How can we learn if we can't even see
his moves?
Fooled and scolded by a mad man
for several hours,
you still want to go on?
I truly feel sad for you.
What the hell?
After ten hours of training,
you guys are not tired at all.
This is the fighting spirit.
One might not win with fighting spirit,
but one is destined to lose without it.
I wish the third trial won't start too soon.
The special training
means a lot to us.
Kunlun,
I'm still confused
about several points my dad mentioned.
Let's review the points.
Okay.
Master said
Xia Yu's spirit hasn't unified,
so his power is undermined.
I have told you that it happens
when you focus on the moves
instead of the meaning of the technique.
Keep your mind in the heart,
and then start the moves.
Your spirit will be naturally unified.
Zhang Ling,
how about your training?
We have learned a lot.
It's good.
What have you learned from
Master of Berserk?
We all want to know.
She has taught a lot.
We are tired now.
We're going to sleep.
But you haven't eat anything.
We don't want to eat.
Not hungry.
Both of you are strange.
Why don't you look at us?
What's wrong?
Feifei, look!
What happened?
Didn't you go for the training?
How did you get the dirty face?
How can you laugh at us
seeing us being so poor?
Are you our friends or not?
Even if we're not friends,
we have fought together.
How can you laugh at us?
Are you from those decent schools?
Right.
Since you want to know
what she has taught us,
I'm telling you right now.
She didn't taught us anything.
She was toying with us,
with a stupid Clorful Two Forces Ball.
She tortured us
and made us
look like idiots.
The marks can't be washed off.
You're happy
because you have learned a lot.
What about us?
There is nothing but pain and humiliation in our hearts.
Excuse me,
I... I can't help laughing.
Zhang Ling.
Move.
Yun Qi,
are you tired?
Not at all.
What's wrong?
If so,
let's help them.
Poor fellows.
Alright.
It's time to offer them some help.
Don't be upset.
Maybe Master of Berserk's special training...
It's not training,
but playing with us.
Whatever you say.
After the case
in the House of Berserk,
she hasn't accepted any disciple.
But she is a good master who is universally recognized.
Maybe everything
she did to you
has some deeper meaning.
Not at all.
It has just started.
Don't blame her from the start.
Is it because of your complaints about her
that your relationship goes bad
and leads to this situation?
Feifei's words might make sense.
At the beginning,
there's a smile on her face.
He said it was a dangerous smile
and then we ended like this.
Who complained about her
in front of Chief?
Stop fighting.
Why don't you
switch your attitude
and see if things change?
I agree.
Alright.
We'll try to give
her a good impression tomorrow.
But we can't deal with
the damned Two Forces Ball.
Yun Qi,
do you have any idea?
We didn't learn anything today.
So we need Yun Qi to help us.
My immortal technique is not mature,
but I'd like to share something with you.
I've said
that Zhang Ling is always smart
enough to find a way out.
But your immortal technique is lame.
If you encounter with a superior,
you'll be defeated.
Therefore,
I suggest you to practice your Qi
and rebuild your base.
But a clever man
must have complex minds
and distractions,
which is the enemy of the practice of Qi
Therefore,
I suggest you to learn how to sit still first.
Right.
Yun Qi, what you said is great.
You found out my weak point.
Let's get started from practicing
how to sit still.
Tie Lang's quality is good,
and internal Qi is strong.
But you only have the technique
of Invincible Sword.
The way to solve it
is to divide one technique
into several techniques.
Although the power is undermined,
you can deal with long-standing fights.
You're right.
I'll follow your advice.
Feifei,
you will teach
Zhang Ling to sit still.
Yes.
Tie Lang,
I'll tell you how to control your internal Qi.
Thank you very much.
Sit down.
Shouldn't we practice how to sit still?
Okay,
I'll stop laughing.
To sit still,
you need to understand what is calmness.
People always have thoughts.
To practice Qi,
we can't keep distracting thoughts.
Therefore we need to let the thoughts appear and disappear
without controlling them.
Our thoughts will be untied boats
floating on the sea surface
no matter how strong the wind is.
When the distracting thoughts
fade and everything quiet down,
the boat will stop
on the surface of a mirror.
This is
the way to sit still.
Understood?
Do you understand yourself?
I, I...
Of course I understand.
I'm just not good at it now.
But I'm better than you.
I know.
Okay, let's begin.
Put your hands on mine.
Why?
To make you feel my breath
and the rhythm of my internal Qi.
This way, you can reach
the state of calmness quickly.
Kunlun taught me in this way.
Hurry up.
What are you thinking?
Well,
I'm thinking.
Since a man always has thoughts,
what is the feeling of it
when you have no thoughts
at all?
Yun Qi was right.
You have
too many distracting thoughts
in your heart.
You're right.
But,
my dad once told me
that if a man can have no thoughts at all,
he will be united with the heaven.
By then, I am Tao,
Tao is me,
and I am the universe.
You will be
free and unfettered.
That might be the true freedom.
I am Tao,
Tao is me,
and I am the universe.
What is this kind of feeling?
Maybe you'll understand one day.
But you still have a long way to go.
Let's begin.
Why do you
have more distracting thoughts?
I,
I don't know.
Fine, fine. I quit.
One more time.
Deal?
Here.
The starry sky is the same for a thousand years.
Okay,
breathe.
Use the flame to conceal
the fairy bones and loyalty.
Forget the division between good and evil.
Our lives will burn and entangle.
We're destined to be together.
Because the firm and ever-lasting conviction
has never changed.
Our lives will burn and entangle.
There will be no hatred left.
Who's that? Get out.
What.
I'm just passing by.
Sorry.
I didn't know it was you.
Are you practicing here?
You have water?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Are you pushing yourself too hard?
You won't understand.
Alright, if you don't want
to tell me, I'll leave.
It's hard to be the senior
disciple of our school.
How hard it could be to be the senior disciple
of your school?
The Heavenly Music Palace has gained its fame for long,
yet we have yielded to the Alliance.
People would think
that I am weaker than
the senior disciple of the Alliance
Kulun.
Our master feels uncomfortable about it.
So do my younger brothers.
They believe that
I must be the Taoism Seeker and
bring honor to our school.
Do you want to be the Taoism Seeker yourself?
I just don't want to
disappoint them.
So I have to be the Taoism Seeker.
Seems like you're under great pressure.
And you?
Why do you come?
It's okay
if you don't want to say.
Do you know the Sky School of the Northern Desert?
Yes.
It's no surprise if you don't know.
Our school has existed for less than 100 years
in a distant place,
so we're always ignored by fellows.
My master sent me
to make the immortal's world
know our school.
I have to gain the fame
by becoming the Taoism Seeker.
Well,
you're under as much pressure
as me.
But there's a difference between us.
It is my wish to win as well.
I'm tired of being overlooked
and despised.
Besides,
I don't think you're weaker than Kunlun.
I'm going back.
Kongyun,
let me go with you.
Zi Shou.
Commander,
the Vast Old City is now yours.
Okay.
I just learned that
the Hatred Tomb was built hundreds of years ago
by a descendant of Shang Dynasty.
It is said that King Zhou's body is in it
with a rare treasure,
which is used for the restoration of Shang Dynasty.
Nobody has entered it before.
Thus the story can't be verified
It's true.
Zi Shou is in the tomb.
I know he's in there.
Hatred Tomb.
No love,
no hate.
Did he
hate me?
Gui Huo,
break it.
Yes.
Looks like the descendant
is a cultivator.
The Hatred Tomb is protected
by the seal of the immortal's technique.
Zi Shou,
I finally see you.
Commander,
you're crying.
Fox demons have no tears,
except for love.
Zi Shou is the only man I loved
during thousands of years.
You were sent by Nuwa
to seduce King Zhou
and overthrow Shang Dynasty.
Yes.
No matter how powerful I am,
I'm able to let a man
give up his country
and be despised for ages.
If
this man was not crazy,
he just loved me
too much.
I had cultivated for a thousand years before meeting him,
but I had never felt love.
How can I not be moved
when facing
this kind of strong love?
Zi Shou,
for over a thousand years,
you must have been lonely.
Commander,
we have work to do.
No immortal's breath around.
Seems like there's
no treasure here.
General Shadow's information
won't go wrong.
Little furball,
help me get the Saint Armor.
There's another room
behind the wall.
The tomb builder is
not just a common cultivator,
his power is strong.
The seal on the wall
can't be broken now.
I have some advantage
in breaking seals.
Please let me do it.
Okay.
I can have more time with
Zi Shou.
Vice chief.
I thought you are not coming today.
We were rude yesterday.
No offense.
Please excuse us.
We bought some fruits and deserts
in the City of No Tears.
Please accept it.
It's fresh.
It's good to know your mistake and correct it.
Shall we continue today?
Of course.
I've decided to
insist on training
no matter what happens.
Right.
Me, too.
Please teach us.
Good.
You are worth teaching.
Let's begin.
Remember our strategy?
Yes.
Our enemy is not the pain,
but the two forces balls.
We're ready.
Come on.
Split.
It works.
Thank you for your teaching.
It hasn't finished yet.
Out of two forces emerge four images.
Don't you understand this rule
of everything in the world?
Don't hit my face.
Not the face.
