Episode 13
Hold on tight!
I'll lure them away.
Otherwise,
we'll both die!
This way,
maybe one of us can still live!
You... you go live!
No! Ye Xiaotian!
Ye Xiaotian!
Don't!
Come back.
Come catch me!
Xiaotian.
Why are you here?
Jiaozhu.
I...
I was running away from those army ants.
I jumped into the water.
And then...
How did I get here?
Jiaozhu.
What happened to you?
Xiaotian.
Listen to my words.
They can save your life.
What do the swarm of bees and the colony of ants know?
A piteous butterfly ensnared in cobweb.
A mantis hidden in the thicket catching the cicada.
Viper and scorpion scent daunted and into the cold pond they go.
The osmanthus branch teeters and falls as the centipede remains alive.
Jiaozhu.
Let me go.
Just let me
float away with the stream.
Jiaozhu.
I'm free!
The Millenary Kill is controlled by my mind.
It is one with me.
Once I pass away,
the poison of the Millenary Kill will be gone.
No.
What if that old fool didn't die?
The Millenary Kill is gone!
The jiaozhu passed away!
The poison of the Millenary Kill is gone!
Jiaozhu.
My king,
I heard
that if the Church of Gu's jiaozhu passes away without a successor named,
then whoever can find the legacy items of the Church of Gu
will become the new jiaozhu.
The jiaozhu is dead.
It is time to name the new jiaozhu.
Yang Yinglong!
The Church of Gu shrine
will not tolerate your impudicity!
Great elder, 2nd elder.
You have always shut yourself away from the world.
Why do you get involved in these murky waters now?
Your impudence is getting more and more out of hand!
You shall not interfere with the matters of our church.
Vacate the shrine immediately!
Old fool, opposing me will only result in your defeat.
Yang Yinglong!
This is the territory of the Church of Gu. This is no place for your insolence!
Break into the shrine!
Kill!
What
did the jiaozhu's words mean?
Save my life?
How did the poem go again?
What... What do the swarm of bees and the colony of ants know?
What do the swarm of bees and the colony of ants know?
A piteous butterfly ensnared in cobweb.
A mantis hidden in the thicket catching the cicada.
Viper and scorpion...
Viper and scorpion scent daunted and into the cold pond they go.
What was the last line?
What does it mean?
Swarm of bees and the colony of ants.
Bees.
Swarm of bees.
What do the swarm of bees and the colony of ants know?
Attack!
Find the jiaozhu's items of legacy.
Another dead end.
What was the second line again?
A piteous butterfly ensnared in cobweb.
Piteous...
Cobweb.
Butterfly.
Stop!
Mantis.
A mantis hidden in the thicket catching the cicada.
Cicada.
Stop! Don't run!
Looks like this poem
really can save my life.
If this goes on, I'll get slain sooner or later. Time for my ultimate skill.
Viper and scorpion scent daunted and into the cold pond they go.
I'm free! I'm free!
Yang... Yang... King Yang. I'm free.
I want to get out.
I misjudged you.
In the end, you're just a useless knife.
I... I.. I want to get out.
What was the last line of the poem the jiaozhu told me?
The centipede.
The osmanthus branch teeters and falls as the centipede remains alive.
Yes, centipede.
Jiaozhu's millenary bats.
The new jiaozhu is about to rise.
The jiaozhu's holy staff!
It's the jiaozhu's hereditary staff!
It's the millenary consecration.
This is the 5th one in a thousand years.
It's him?
Master.
Should I kill him?
The bats only attack us. They don't attack him.
How strange.
Don't do anything for now.
Yes, sir.
The heirship has begun!
Our Church of Gu is saved!
Why is it him?
The holy staff has risen once more.
The soul of the ancient mantle.
The heirship has been chosen.
The jiaozhu has returned home.
Our humble greetings, jiaozhu.
Luo Daheng!
Luo Daheng, Luo Daheng!
Listen, the new jiaozhu of our church was chosen.
Congratulations. Congratulations.
I mean,
your dage is our new jiaozhu.
What?
Please grace your disciples with a blessing, jiaozhu.
Our humble greetings, jiaozhu.
Look.
Our dage is so capable.
A little accident made him become a jiaozhu.
Accidents always happen to me, but why am I still a vendor?
Our humble greetings, jiaozhu.
Granny, you are so considerate.
You knew I'm hungry. Even had soup prepared for me.
Even though the soup doesn't look very good,
but it smells delicious.
This soup is a real treasure.
It was made from dozens of rare and precious herbs.
Only a jiaozhu may drink it when he is being enthroned.
Once consumed, the drinker will gain immunity to hundreds of poison.
From now on,
no snakes, bugs, mosquitos or ants will dare get near you.
I thought it's something awesome. But it's just a drinkable mosquito repellent.
Rubbish.
- Oh right, er, erge and I need to take care of some things. - What rubbish.
You take your time.
Drink up.
Rubbish.
Where are we going?
Hey....
Jiaozhu, please.
What great stuff is this one?
This one's nothing much.
It's just a heirless soup.
Peerless soup?
It sounds powerful.
Granny,
after I drink this soup, will my fighting powers increase greatly?
Heirless soup as in abstaining from having offsprings.
Not peerless.
What the hell?
I'm not drinking that.
Er...
Jiaozhu, don't worry.
After you drink this soup,
you are still a man.
It's just that you won't be able to have children.
What kind of religion is this? This is preposterous!
Why can't I have children?
Jiaozhu.
This rule was passed down since our Church of Gu's first jiaozhu.
It is to avoid having the Church of Gu fall under the domination of one family alone.
That's why every jiaozhu must drink this heirless soup once they ascend the throne.
So they won't leave descendants.
It's not just you, jiaozhu.
After we became elders,
we have also consumed this heirless soup.
You are the messenger of the God of Gu.
You do not need children of your own.
All your disciples are your children.
They respect you like they respect their father.
Bullshit.
How can it be the same? They aren't my own children.
Here, here.
Jiaozhu.
I'm not drinking that.
Jiaozhu, calm your anger.
You can stop calling me jiaozhu now.
I quit being the jiaozhu. You two should go find someone better qualified.
Jiaozhu.
This is a rule that was established with the founding of our church.
If you are dissatisfied with it,
we don't have a solution right now.
How about this,
you go take a rest.
Allow us to discuss this among ourselves first.
OK.
Go.
I'll wait for you.
OK, OK.
OK.
Take the soup away.
OK, OK, OK, I'll take it away.
Go.
Dage!
This is such a large bed! It's such a waste for only one person!
I thought this was some super amazing thing that fell into my lap.
But in the end,
I need to give up on having children!
What a bullshit religion.
What a crap rule.
Dage.
If you ask me, you are just too demanding.
So many beauties at your beck and call. You don't even need to take care of children. It's amazing.
Is it?
Then you be the jiaozhu!
Dage.
This is silver.
Listen, one of these can sell for at least 50 liangs of silver.
This won't do.
We three need to come up with a plan and escape this place.
Yes. There are 3 forms of unfilial conduct, having no descendants is the worst.
Dage, I agree with you.
We should leave.
Wait.
A thief doesn't leave empty handed.
We can't let him mess about as he pleases.
If word gets out about this,
our church will be shorn of its authority.
Our first jiaozhu has passed down a rule which says
that if the jiaozhu to-be has not yet traveled the world before his tenure
then he has to make up for this after he has become the jiaozhu.
He must travel the world,
broaden his knowledge, as to maintain vitality and the will to make progress.
Only after this may he preside over church affairs.
So, our jiaozhu must leave the church to travel the world.
So you are saying
he should use his time traveling the world to marry and have children.
That way we can satisfy his wish to leave descendants?
Yes. After that, he'll return and keep his mind on being the jiaozhu.
Nothing speaks against this.
We can go.
Ebony heartwood.
Have you heard of that saying?
A chest full of gold
can't compete with a piece of ebony.
This...
We'll be hella rich.
What?
Erge. We don't have time for this. It won't fit into the bag.
Of course you can't fit the whole thing into it. Use your sword and take it apart. Hurry.
Where's your sword?
Daheng.
It's too heavy. What are you doing with it?
Dage, I want to take it with us.
I want to make a coffin out of it for my dad.
All right.
For the sake of your filial piety, go ahead.
Quick, the sword.
Jiaozhu.
After consulting our ancient codes and records，
we have found a solution
to your "having children" problem.
Really?
Jiaozhu.
Please go over our church rules.
What...
What does traveling the world has to do with having children?
Jiaozhu.
During your travels you can marry and have children like a normal person.
But
once you have a child who can carry on your lineage,
you must return here and take over the jiaozhu's important position.
Look.
Having a jiaozhu as dage
is something else.
Yunfei gege.
Luo Daheng.
Duo... Duo Ni meimei.
Where are you going?
I'm going into the mountain to gather bamboo shoots.
Let me accompany you, ok?
It's heavy, how can you carry it alone?
Come, come.
I'll help you. I'll help you.
Let's go, let's go.
Ning'er jiejie.
We've been so worried about you.
Where have you been?
Listen carefully,
my dage is the Church of Gu's jiaozhu now. You can't bully him anymore.
What did you say?
Ye Xiaotian is alive?
30 years.
10 years.
30 years.
Never has a jiaozhu traveled more than 10 years.
30 years...
it's too long.
Granny, listen,
30 years isn't long.
10 years, that's our bottom line.
All right.
Let's say
20 years then.
If you agree, I'll be the jiaozhu.
If you don't, we're parting ways for good.
Hey...
Great elder.
If there's no other way,
let's agree to the 20 years.
No.
No way.
Great elder, our last jiaozhu lived in seclusion for 30 years after his travels without paying mind to the church affairs.
The Church of Gu still operated seamlessly.
It's only 20 years.
We'll just imagine he secluded himself to ply his ascetic practices.
Come.
All right.
I agree, jiaozhu.
But you must stay true to your words.
No problem.
Oh right,
I forgot to say,
these 20 years start with the night of my wedding.
You...
Great elder.
We already agreed on the 20 years time limit,
1 or 2 more years won't matter.
Ye Xiaotian!
Ye Xiaotian.
Why aren't you dead?
I was so kind to save you and now you wish me dead?
No, no.
That's not what I meant.
I meant, how great
that you didn't die.
That sounds more like it.
I think we won't even have to wait those 1 or 2 years.
They must have found your flesh too lean,
not chewy enough.
My flesh is so hard
the ants choke on it, ok?
Jiaozhu.
Kneel down.
Cut it out.
Sit.
Say, this Church of Gu
is quite strict with its rules and unreasonable,
but the scenery is beautiful.
Look.
There's a great fall over there.
Sing a song.
I...
I can't...
OK, OK, stop being so bashful.
Just sing something.
OK...
OK.. I'll just
do it as repayment for saving my life.
Come on, it's just a song, there's no need for all this blah.
The beau is standing on the top of the mountain, oh, looking down, oh.
The maid, oh, she is beside the river, oh.
Oh what beautiful lovers.
Hold on.
How long is this song?
Quite long.
How about I leave it at this part for now,
I can't sing the next part very well yet.
I fear I'll sing off-key.
You know the concept of key?
How did I sing?
Your courage is commendable.
I...
I'm going back to Shuixi soon,
and you'll travel the world.
If one day
you happen to pass Shuixi,
I'll learn to sing the other part of the song and sing it to you.
Oh right,
this just occurred to me,
why didn't you sing when we encountered those army ants?
If you sang,
you would have scared the ants to death.
Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian!
Explain what you mean by that!
- Whose singing is scary? - Hey, I'm the jiaozhu! - Don't mess about! - I'll beat you up, jiaozhu or not!
On the jiaozhu's travels,
your safety will be of utmost importance.
For this purpose, I have selected a few attendants.
They are the most eminent
disciples of our Church of Gu.
You may choose 1 or 2 among them
who will be under your command.
Under my command?
More like someone to spy on and keep a watch on me.
Look at them.
Every one of them looks uncanny.
The first one is too shrewd, downvote.
The second is too fat.
Too smelly.
Downvote.
The third looks ok.
He looks odd and dumb.
You.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
The jiaozhu is calling you.
Dong Tian is humbled to greet jiaozhu.
Jiaozhu.
Tell me,
what's the matter with your eyes?
I have injured my eyes when I was young.
It rendered my eyes rather useless.
Good.
You it is.
Jiaozhu.
Dong Tian has achieved greatness in the art of poison use.
Having him by your side
is the best choice when it comes to passing on our church's secret art.
Which means that I'm a great judge of character.
Jiaozhu.
Disciple Duo Ni
is albeit inexperienced in the way of the jianghu,
but her martial arts skills and use of poison
make her a perfect choice.
She fears the old one can't keep a watch on me, that's why she adds a young one with good eyesight.
Look, great elder,
we are four men walking the jianghu, it'll be inconvenient to take a little girl along with us.
Dage, I think that adding a person is no more than adding another pair of chopsticks.
Erge.
What?
You like her?
No.
No, no, no.
Ning'er jiejie,
it's been so long since we last bathed together like when we were little.
Yeah.
I still remember
how we used to always bathe together.
Those little kids from the village
always stole glances at us.
Yeah.
I almost forgot about that.
It was that stupid little kid. It was him who started it.
If he wasn't such a fast runner,
I would have broken his legs for sure.
It's embarrassing, you should just forget it.
Oh right, Ning'er jiejie,
when you and Xiaotian ge were trapped in the forbidden grounds of the thunder god,
did something happen between you?
Ye Xiaotian?
He's quite nice.
I guess we became friends after all our fights.
Now
I guess we've become brothers who lived and died together.
Really?
But
you were a lonely man and a lonely woman
spending the day and night together.
Other than the ants and those skeletons on the ground,
did anything else happen between you?
For example,
I've heard about a kind of love flower.
Its pollen can make some beautiful accidents happen between men and women.
What love flower?
Don't be ridiculous.
I've never seen one.
If you don't stop this nonsense,
then I'm going back up.
Fine, fine.
I was just messing with you.
Come.
Let me rub your back.
What's the matter?
Your Gu seed is gone.
Quick.
How can it be him?
After everything we did,
in the end, we've only been paving the way for others.
Greetings, my king.
Baichuan.
Ye Xiaotian
came into such an important position at a young age.
But I don't believe that he's willing to grow old and die among the deep forests.
Your son is good friends with Ye Xiaotian, right?
Yes.
I want your son to become our spy.
Let him watch Ye Xiaotian's every move.
My king.
My son is slow-witted.
I fear he lacks the competence for this task.
Plus, he doesn't know about this part of me.
I fear...
I'm only asking your son
to watch his actions.
Is that very difficult?
Baichuan.
You are my man.
Your children and grandchildren are also my Yang family's men.
You may only take orders from me.
Understand?
My loyalty will always lie with my king.
Good.
Then go and do as I said.
Huxian is very important to me.
You must keep a close watch on it,
wait for the perfect opportunity.
Yes, sir.
Youngsters
always have their ambitions.
Ye Xiaotian,
I may yet be able to use him.
