The Taoism Grandmaster
-Episode 42-
I can assure you will die here if you dare suspect me again!
Alright, that's enough. I know you're a man of your word.
But how could we get to Eternal Palace?
You have to pass Path of Regret to get here.
As the name says, only those without any regret could pass it.
How could one get rid of any regret?
All the good and evil thinks you've done, will guide to different branches of the path.
You will encounter with others.
All you need to do is to answer Demon of Sky's question honestly.
Then Demon of Sky will guide you till Eternal Palace if there isn't any regret.
What if we lie?
Then one will be punished.
Demon of Sky will punish you with your deeply rooted fear.
You'll have to return to the start even if you could conquer it.
You can't proceed until you answered questions from Demon of Sky.
Is that all that simple? We don't even have to fight?
Simple?
I've been living for an endless age.
Yet I've never seen anyone who could be honest to oneself.
It's not Demon of Sky that your enemy, but yourself.
Great.
That game seems fun.
We shall start now.
- Demon of Sky. - At your service, Empress.
Off you go, send them to the Path of Regret.
Yes, Empress.
Path of Regret? It doesn't seem horrifying at all.
Path of Regret.
Welcome to House of Regret.
Are you Demon of Sky?
Yes, I am.
Come in, if you want to get to Eternal Palace.
Your friend is waiting for you inside.
Come in, please.
- Xiaoyu? - Yun Qi.
Great, you're the first one I've met.
Have you seen anyone else?
Not yet.
Take a seat.
My questions start now.
Interesting.
That seems interesting.
What did you do?
I looked through your heart and obtained your memory.
Is it?
That means we couldn't lie to you.
Show us what you got.
Fine, you'll be the first one.
Who are you now?
That's a key question to the point.
But I'm afraid Yun Qi can hardly accept the fact if I say the truth.
What do you mean?
Aren't you Xiaoyu?
I'm not whom I used to be.
I've surrendered my heart to nine-tail fox.
What?
It was back in the Vast Old City.
I was tired of the weakness.
That's why I accepted her offer and shared her power.
The previous Xiaoyu is already dead.
Feng Xiaoyu in front of you, is even stronger than you are.
No way!
It can't be true!
She is telling the truth.
How could you do that, Xiaoyu?
Why can't I?
I'm doing fine right now.
The previous Xiaoyu could never make it with you today.
Nine-tail fox could give me everything I wanted as long as I follow her will.
Everything, including Kunlun.
Haven't you figured out that he can no longer go without me?
You're prohibited from him!
It's too late.
Just like me, he has surrendered as well.
No!
It can't be true!
Demon of Sky, I've finished my question.
May I move on?
Where did she go?
Lead me to her!
Your encounter here is caused by what have happened.
I couldn't help you with that.
Carry on your journey.
Feng Xiaoyu!
Come out!
Feng Xiaoyu!
Kunlun.
Senior Disciple?
Kunlun!
Where are you?
Welcome to House of Regret again.
Come in, if you want to get to Eternal Palace.
Your friend is waiting for you inside.
Come in, please.
- Senior Disciple - Are you alright?
Xiaoyu said she had surrendered to nine-tail fox.
What?
It's true.
- She admitted it. - Take a seat.
Give me your hand.
Get off me!
Interesting.
Your heart seems really interesting.
You may want to find out the answer eagerly.
This question is for you.
Have you surrendered to nine-tail fox?
Bullshit, how could he surrender?
He can't be.
Answer me.
Give me the truth.
Answer him, Kunlun.
No.
It's a lie!
Impossible!
No way!
Senior Disciple!
Tell me it's not true, please.
Those who lie have to be punished.
You won't pass it.
Get back to where you were.
I don't want to, Yun Qi.
I've got no other choice.
Why would it end up like this?
Why would it be like this?
Welcome to House of Regret.
Come in, please.
- Feifei. - Tie Lang.
Have a seat.
What did you do to us?
We shall start now.
This question is for you.
Do you love Tie Lang?
What question is that?
It's so embarrassing.
You may remain silent if you don't want to answer it.
Sure, you may. But you will be trapped here forever.
The choice is yours.
That's the same question I've been asking myself.
I used to recognize you as my best friend.
I've never thought about the ability of falling in love.
I know.
Otherwise, you won't turn me down for the first time.
But it was the second time at mid-autumn festival,
that I knew how much you love me, and how much you know me.
I thought I was abandoned.
But you showed up beside me that night.
I start loving you since that day.
My answer is, I love you.
So the night at mid-autumn is what makes you love me?
Right. It is because of what happened that night.
Correct.
You may continue your journey.
She loves me because of what happened that night.
Here I am again?
Who would I meet next?
Could it be Senior Disciple?
Welcome to House of Regret again.
House of Regret, again?
Right.
You may set off to Eternal Palace if you could answer three questions correctly.
Your friend is waiting for you inside.
Come in, please.
Feifei.
Zhang Ling!
This one is for you.
Do you love Donghuang Feifei?
I don't.
It's a lie!
Zhangling, why haven't you told me about that?
Why?
Those who lie have to be punished.
- Get back to where you were. - Zhang Ling!
Why?
Why don't you tell me?
Why?
Who's that?
Don't get any closer.
Stop where you are!
Stop chasing me!
Liuli!
Zi Liuli!
Liuli?
Liuli!
I've been waiting for you, Zhang Ling. Come here.
Liuli.
I'm right here, come to me.
Liuli.
I am afraid, Liuli.
Demon of Sky is chasing me.
I'm so scared.
Don't be, I'm right here.
Liuli.
Calm down.
I told you, this is our home.
Do you remember?
Yes, I do.
That's right.
We could be stay here, without bother or chasing.
Just stay here, alright?
What about Demon of Sky?
He won't come here.
He doesn't want me to be the Taoism Seeker.
Do you want to be?
I thought you want me to do that.
All I want now is to be with you.
Doesn't it matter if I can't be the Taoism Seeker?
No, it doesn't matter.
I just want to stay here with you.
Is that what you want?
Yes.
Yes, I do want to stay.
Have some sleep.
Everything will be fine. Just sleep.
Zhang Ling.
Wake up, Zhang Ling!
Feifei?
Zhang Ling, I've found Empress Ling Yu.
She said you're the Taoism Seeker.
Me?
She will handle the last armor, as long as you prove your determination.
Then we can leave here together.
How should I prove it?
Kill her!
No!
Zhang Ling, that's not the real one.
It's a trap by Demon of Sky.
Kill her now.
No, I can't.
Don't you remember what you said, Zhang Ling?
One could only transcend oneself after knowing the secret of the natural law.
That's what it's like to be untrammeled.
Are you going to give up?
It's hard to find the secret. I am so tired.
Giving up, is a way of being untrammeled.
You may give up on the natural law, or being untrammeled.
But what about me?
Do you want to give up me as well?
Feifei.
Zhang Ling, I want to live an ordinary life with you.
I want to seek the secret, witness the scenery with you.
I love you, Zhang Ling.
Please be the Taoism Seeker, wipe out the Wolf's World for me.
Let's live in peace, alright?
Stay here, Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling.
Kill her, now!
She isn't the real Liuli!
Please, don't leave, Zhang Ling.
Stay with me.
Come with me.
- Stay with me. - Come with me.
Please!
- Stay here! - Zhang Ling.
- Zhang Ling!
Leave here, Zhang Ling.
- Stay here, please. - Let's leave!
She isn't the real one!
Come with me, Zhang Ling!
- Zhang Ling! - Zhang Ling!
I may not know the purpose of a man's life.
But I've figured out the purpose of my life, my own life as Zhang Ling.
I will climb the mountains and cross the rivers.
I will seek my own Taoism on my journey.
Feifei in my memory would never ask me to kill a demon.
Liuli in my memory wouldn't ask me to give up being the Taoism Seeker.
Demon of Sky, you're just a dream in my head.
I'm the one you're from. I'll be the one you're ended.
I must have been trapped in my fear by Demon of Sky. That's why I was in such a delusion.
Demon of Sky didn't attack at all.
But he's much greater than the demons before.
I will leave Regretless Woods for sure!
Welcome to House of Regret again.
How many Paths of Regret are there in this woods?
It's not located in the woods, but in your heart.
The quantity and difficulties of them vary from man to man.
Speak frankly, how could I get to Eternal Palace?
Only the one without regret could open the gate there.
How could one get rid of regret?
I will find out, so will you.
The one you're seeking is inside.
Come in, please.
Who's inside?
Your friend.
Don't you dare coming in?
Zhang Ling!
It's so good to see you.
I wish to see you.
How are you?
I passed the first question with Feifei. We were free from punishment.
- What about you? - I...
I went through one with her as well.
And?
May I speak to him first.
Hold the question for a moment.
Sure.
I'm not the one in a hurry anyway.
What did he ask you?
Why won't you tell me?
There shouldn't be any secret between us.
I don't know how to say it.
Do you want to know what did he ask Feifei?
He asked Feifei if she loves me.
She said she used to treat me like her friend.
She never thought about loving me.
It wasn't till the night at mid-autumn festival,
that she knows about my love and my caring about her.
It's also at that night that she starts loving me.
That's good for both of you, Tie Lang.
I want to ask you about confession of love, Zhang Ling.
Is that confession that you're doing for me?
Or is it your first confession of love to her?
Do you love Feifei?
That's the same question I asked him.
But he lied.
I'll give you the second chance.
Answer him.
Keeping silence is an answer for me.
Don't push me, Tie Lang.
We are friends and teammates.
We're always caring and protecting each other.
Why would I push you?
Do you remember that I wish to survive for Feifei's happiness,
but I'm willing to die for you?
You could sacrifice everything and endure all of it for me.
Why can't I?
Is that fair to you?
Is it fair for her?
I love her.
Thank you for being honest.
Zhang Ling, the next time you meet her,
please do not lie to her.
Let her make the choice again.
Thank you, Tie Lang.
Alright.
You've passed my question.
Time for the next Path of Regret.
Zhang Ling, Tie Lang. Your minds are purer than water.
You're the hope of the Three Realms.
Only the dream of Tie Lang is about to end.
As long as Feifei gets her happiness.
Isn't that so, Tie Lang?
How many Paths of Regret are there left?
Why would I regret for having a friend like Tie Lang?
Wait, it's about her.
You owe me an answer.
I answered it just now.
But you lied.
That's a yes or no question.
He judged me lying with my last answer.
The truth is obvious.
When does it start?
Since the first time I met you.
Slender and sturdy are the peach trees. Flaming red are its blossoms.
To hold your hand, to grow old with you.
How cruel of you to cast her asleep.
What a wasteful of this beautiful moment.
Are you alright?
If only Disciple Senior is here.
Who's Senior Disciple?
Why?
I'm just passing by.
You're the first sweet memory of mine.
Why don't you tell me earlier?
Maybe it's all in karma.
I can't do help with that.
At first, it was Kun Lun who you loved. We all know that.
But as Kunlun betrays you, Tie Lang gets between.
I'm totally speechless about this.
I might never be the best.
Nor would I be the most ideal choice for you.
I might not be able to stop the wind or the rain in your heart.
But I could be by your side.
I could support you behind and face the hardness with you.
I could be with you till you find your true happiness.
You're the one who made the confession at mid-autumn festival.
Why are you so stupid, Zhang Ling?
Why would you do that?
How could you do that for Tie Lang?
It's unfair to you, do you understand?
It's not your feelings about me that I cared.
All I wish is your happiness.
Stupid fool.
So stupid of you.
The three of us are all fools.
Yes, I'd say so.
So I think we'd better call ourselves Uncommon Fool.
That's not a name at all!
Tie Lang knows about this as well.
He wants you... he want you to make your choice again.
It would do good to us all.
Don't get concerned, Feifei.
Don't be afraid about the result.
We're not in a hurry.
You could save it after the Second War. We will make it to the end.
Cheer up.
No one could harm our relationship in Uncommon Fool.
Nor would your choice.
Welcome to House of Regret again.
I don't think it's necessary for me to get in there.
I've got no regret left.
Me neither.
This should be the end of Path of Regret.
You can't get inside if there's no regret left.
Do you want a try?
Are you afraid, Feifei?
Not at all!
I'm not scared at all, as long as you're here.
We're about to leave House of Regret, finally!
Exactly!
That's the first time for anyone to leave there.
Off you go.
Only those without regret could open the gate to Eternal Palace.
It's also them who can remove Empress's curse to herself.
What's that again? It's Empress Ling Yu who cursed herself!
That's right.
Regretless Woods used to be a wonderland.
But Empress Ling Yu was hurt from love 18 years ago.
So she sealed herself in Eternal Palace.
It's also her who set Path of Regret.
She will be trapped in the Eternal Palace until the end of time,
unless someone without regret could open the gate.
With great love comes severe hatred. Empress Ling Yu is the poorest woman in the world.
Please take good care of her.
I've got missions to do.
There're others to be testified?
Exactly.
That's my duty.
Someone should wake from his dream. The War is about to begin.
Farewell.
Wait a minute.
I want to know about Kunlun and Yun Qi.
Those who can't leave House of Regret, have nothing left but regret.
Don't worry, Feifei. Let's find them after getting the armor.
Let's go.
Demon of Sky may look wicked, but he is an emotional man who knows about love and hate.
Yes, he is.
Actually he is more wicked inside that he may looks.
I want to only speak of the truth since now.
Hold on.
Feifei?
What did you go?
You will find out one day.
Alright, let's go.
I'll start asking if you're ready.
A question to me alone?
Right.
It's a question only for you.
So, you are enough by yourself.
Fine, ask me.
Who...are you?
What? Is that a question?
It's a question most vital to you.
That's too simple!
I am Tie Lang, Senior to Immortal Zhengyang of Bright Moon Cave in the Waste Mountain.
That's it.
It's a lie.
Hang on.
A lie? No other man knows me better than I do.
The most pathetic is making a lie without knowing it.
It's time to wake up.
Your punishment is to find yourself.
Who is he?
That's your last trial.
You have to live with Ghost of Dream as one before the Second War.
You need to witness love and hate, born and death as a man.
You have to find the answer to dissolve the disaster.
Will I remember my identity?
No, you won't.
That's a fake memory in Ghost of Dream.
You will forget who you're now.
You will enter the dream of reality as a cultivator.
A dream of reality?
When could I wake up?
You will know it when it's about time.
Father.
Off you go, my son.
Finish your final trial.
Decide the future of the Wolf's World after you wake up.
Who am I on earth?
No, it can't be!
I am Tie Lang! Not Wolf King II!
I am Tie Lang!
I'm not Wolf King II.
My name is Tie Lang!
Tell me! Who am I!
I am Tie Lang!
I can't be Wolf King II!
No.
I am Tie Lang!
It's just a dream.
It must be a dream.
