The Legend of Chinese Zodiac
Episode 6
It seems that this stone was moved to this position.
Oh my god, such a huge piece of rock?
What normal person would be able to move such a rock?
Maybe it wasn't done by a human.
- Who are you? - Who are you?
I am a fairy, Chi Huo Dong. I am cultivating myself in the cave of pouring gold.
May I know what are you two here for?
Oh, so you're a old immortal.
Hey, have you seen any poison when you were here cultivating?
I'm indeed cultivating here, but I did not see any poisonous substances.
I got it, you two came here because of the source of the poisoned water.
Hey! How did you know?
Fairies possess immortal powers. I will bestow upon you two a proverb.
The person who cures poison possesses a method of dropping poison.
What do you mean?
Old immortal! Old immortal!
-Hey! -Old immortal!
Old immortal!
Now I get it.
That old immortal said that the person who can cure the poison...
...the meaning of "possesses a method of dropping poison" is...
It means that the one who put the poison in will be the person who can cure it.
Little Fish, what you just said, could you repeat it?
Sure. That old immortal's meaning is the poison in the water isn't due to a poisonous substance.
Instead, it's done by a human and the person who puts the poison in,
is the person who can cure it.
That's the meaning.
If what the old immortal said is true, then the one who can cure it now...
...could only be two people!
Yes! They are beautiful Sister and that Bastard Mi!
-Mi Jun Fei! -Mi Jun Fei!
Damn! Why didn't I think of that!
I understand now! The reason that Mi Jun Fei said that the poison
is from a rare animal is to distract our attention!
That's right! Quick, return back to Phoenix Hill, let's go!
Mi Jun Fei! Go to hell!
Damn you!
Brother Hu! What's wrong!?
Are you crazy!
Aren't you supposed to find the source of the poison? Why did you hit me!?
Why? Shouldn't you know the reason better than I do?
Brother Hu!
Hey, hey! You idiot! What's going on? Can you be specific?
Brother Hu, bash him!
Bastard Mi, you still won't admit it!
You're completely heartless!
It was you who poisoned the water!
-Brother Hu, hit him! Hit him! - Stop fighting!
You say I poisoned the water. What evidence do you have?
I don't need evidence!
Without any proof, why do you say I did it?
You still dare to deny it? You still dare to deny it?
Stop! You're beating me to death!
Hit him! Hit him!
Brother Hu!
If you hit him again, you can watch me die!
Xue Lian, don't make a scene. Drop the knife.
Brother Hu, I beg you, stop hitting him!
Xue Lian, I hope you know what you're doing!
Thank you for saving me, Miss Xue Lian.
Shall we continue our competition? I'll not lose to you.
Little Fish! Where are you?
Little Fish.
Are you ok?
I'm fine.
I don't understand why Sister Xue Lian wants to sacrifice herself to protect that Bastard Mi.
If Sister Xue Lian hadn't protected him, we'd have been able to eliminate that poisonous devil's great evil then and there!
As expected, Mi Jun Fei has several evil abilities.
he even managed to bewitch Sister Xue Lian!
Letting him live will bring trouble in the future!
We must get rid of that poisonous devil without Sister Xue Lian's knowledge!
Or else, we don't know what dangerous things he would do?
That's right!
That poisonous devil is likely to be already on high alert.
now that he's in Sister's Xue Lian's care,
he's extremely dangerous.
At any time we could lose our lives, so we must catch up to him before that happens.
If we eliminate the poisonous devil's great evil we may be able to save Sister Xue Lian's life.
But that poisonous devil will certainly have already prepared to completely hide his poison.
So we need to ruthlessly take down this killer without the slightest compassion.
Otherwise, if we give him the chance then not only us, but also the ordinary citizens of Phoenix City,
could all die tragically by his hand.
That right.
We must eliminate him.
Thank you, healer!
You're welcome.
The difference became clear. In this healing match you...
Mustn't stop. Brother Mi, give me a hand.
Save them, help me.
Save them.
Xue Lian really is smart.
I'm just bragging myself to be smart, but didn't I get into this girl's trap?
Didn't the healing contest fame actually caused me to help her curing people?
I'm ashamed.
In the healing contest I barely got a small victory.
But Lady Xue Lian's mercy saved the world.
Practicing the great path of medicine is a great victory by itself.
Her kindness benefits mankind, and her medical ethics are extraordinary.
I sincerely admit defeat.
I've been defeated by you.
Why do you...?
Why?
So that the world's just ways will be rid of your drug-devil harm!
Xiao Yu'er, have you gone mad?
Being so vicious is not something a child does. We've never been bitter enemies.
It was just trivial stuff such as provoking you with bees buzzing and wrecking your tree house.
Who could imagine you would become so envious and hateful.
Although you did all these to me, it is not why I want to take your life.
I want to kill you in order to align with Heaven's decree, and get rid of your drug-devil harm!
This little fish is fake.
Do you have proof?
My fights with that little devil over the last couple of years did reveal his true nature.
Although the little devil seems naughty and unruly, he is actually kind and honest. Could he turn to such a ruthless murder?
So I will test you. And if you show any weakness...
What weakness?
The bees that I just spoke of, destroying the forest home. I didn't do any of it.
Those were all methods in which Little Fish used to oppose me.
You don't even know what you've done. Isn't that preposterous?
You were able to see through that? You're lucky. I'll let you go free this time.
What was that?
I understand now. You've been bewitched by a demon.
He told you that I was the one who put the poison in the water, didn't he?
This Little Fish was fake.
But where's the real Little Fish?
Little Fish. Little Fish.
Please help me! Is anybody out there?
Hey, is anybody out there? I am Little Fish!
Is there anyone there? Hey!
- Little Fish!- Little Fish!
Little Fish!
- Little Fish! - Little Fish!
Little Fish!
- Little Fish! - Little Fish, where are you?
Hey! Little Fish!
Little Fish!
- Little Fish! - Little Fish!
Little Fish!
- Little Fish! -Little Fish!
Little Fish!
- Little Fish!- Little Fish!
Little Fish! Where are you?
Little Fish!
Big Brother Xiao Hu! Brother Mi!
I'm over here!
Big Brother Xiao Hu!
Little Fish!
Hey! HEY!
Come quickly and find me!
Little Fish!
Brother Mi! Big Brother Xiao Hu!
Boss, Boss! Where are you, Boss?
Where are you, Boss?
Where are you? Where are you?
Boss, Boss, where are you?
Boss! Where are you, Boss?
If this was a cake it would probably be really good.
Don't tell me that my fate is to die in this tiny, wee burrow!
So what if I die. It's just that I won't have seen my mother's face before I die. I will never know what she looks like.
Mother, you said that I was such a good boy. So why did you have to abandon me?
That won't do. There are many things I haven't done yet. I can't just die like this.
I still need to look for my mother. My mother is still waiting for me.
I must go and look for my mother. Look for mother, look for mother. I can't die in here for no good reason.
Can't die, I can't die. Save me! Get me out of here!
I, Little Fish, swear today that I will escape from here.
I will travels all corners of the world, and spare no expense.
I must find my mother. Is anyone there? Save me! Get me out!
If something has really happened to Little Fish, then what should we do?
How vicious!
Blame me. If it hadn't been for me so easily trusting that sorcerer then Little Fish probably wouldn't have been kidnapped.
There's no need to blame yourself. At this crucial moment it isn't important to place blame.
What's important now is how to retrieve Little Fish.
Brother Hu, have another think about it. Where did you both go?
I don't know.
Little Fish and I only went to the cave of pouring gold.
Cave of pouring gold?
Of course! In the cave of pouring gold, we met an immortal.
Presumably, that was the monster's lair. Right, let's go and rescue Little Fish.
Hey. Wait a second, wait a second. Right now it's getting dark and the wind is rising. If we go now,
it will be just what the monster wants us to do. He'll be able to use that to his advantage to play his sinister tricks.
If we fall into their trap, then it will do more harm than good. Tomorrow morning, let's go to the cave of pouring gold together.
You're right, Brother Mi.
I hope Little Fish will be alright.

Who is it? Who is crushing me?
Who is it? Why are you crushing me?
Is someone there? Help me! Is anyone there?
Hey! Is anybody out there?!
Come and help me! Save me!
Boss, Boss, you're here! Boss.
Xiao Pang, come and help me!
- Boss, stay there.- I'm here!
Hey, you guys get over here. Boss is alive!
Boss, Boss, we're coming to save you right away.
Hurry up! Come down and help me.
Boss, what will we do?
You bunch of idiots!
Stop! I asked you to help me. Now you've all fallen down here.
Boss, what should we do now?
- Yes.- What can we do!? Think of something.
What will we do?
What can we do?
Stop. I've thought of something.
- Like what?- A pyramid.
Higher. Quickly. Higher.
Boss, hurry up. I can't hold for much longer.
Hurry up, I can't support you anymore.
Higher! I'm nearly there.
I can't support you, Boss.
Hold on, we're nearly there.
A bit higher and he'll be out.
Hold on!
He's out.
- Boss is out now. - Boss is out now.
Boss, hurry up and save us.
I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. Don't worry, I'll be right back to save you.
- Sister, is it possible to borrow a sip of water? We're about to die of thirst.- That's right.
There's none.
None of the families has any water. There really is no water.
No water! No water?
Then what will we do?
We'll just go somewhere else and ask for a little water to drink.
Fine. That's all we can do.
Come on, let go over there.
Xiao Hu, look!
Little Fish!
Little Fish! Little Fish!
Brother Xiao Hu!
Brother Xiao Hu.
Little Fish. Weren't you abducted by a demon?
No, I was pushed by someone into the cave.
Luckily, these guys came and helped me out.
That's right. It was us who saved Boss.
In order to save Boss we also fell into the hole.
Yes, we all fell into the hole.
It's good that you've returned safely.
Last year you launched a late-night sneak attack to destroy the lotus heart powder that I had worked hard to refine.
What did I teach you?
You disgraceful, stubborn, son-of-a-bitch!
You're still bringing it up! That evening you pricked me like you were a hedgehog.
If I don't take revenge, then my name isn't Little Fish.
Brother Mi, why did he bring this up all of a sudden?
He's just testing to see if it's the real Little Fish or the fake one.
Is there still a fake me?
There's no fake me. I'm entirely real.
They can vouch for me.
I've been real all along. I have a fake me? I absolutely do not!
Real, see? It hurts. I'm real.
Slow down.
Currently, the city is lacking water and the fire is burning our eyebrows. T/N: Chinese idiom - a desperate situation.
Then there will be no end to the trouble.
Since Little Fish has been found, the most crucial task now is to solve the issue of the poisoned water.
You, Mi. Didn't you find the antidote already?
If you use your brain and think about it,
How large is the Phoenix River?
I only have a small amount of the antidote. How is it enough?
How was the river originally poisoned?
It must have been deviously poisoned by witchcraft. Why don't you use your brain?
Do we have any herbs? Or anything that can serve as an antidote?
I once heard my Teacher say that deep in the mountains, there are always objects of spiritual value.
It is called "Mountain Spirit". The essence is borne from the extracts of the mountain's spiritual objects.
It has the power to cure hundreds of poison.
I have heard of this before as well. But it is rumored that the Mountain Spirit takes the form of a young child.
On his head, there is a medicinal herb. He usually hides in the earth.
Only when he decides to wander in the mountains, will he make an appearance. Also, his movements are extremely fast.
He is extremely difficult to capture.
Even if he is difficult to capture, we must try. We cannot give up.
Then I'll go as well.
Little Tiger Brother is correct. If there is a chance, we should not give up.
Correct, then let's prepare to leave tomorrow.
We must capture the Mountain Spirit!
Excellent.
Will the Mountain Spirit truly appear on the mountain top?
My Teacher said that Mountain Spirits like heights. They will most likely appear on the mountain tops.
Let's not talk about it. Hurry and climb. It's still early. We have to climb up before it emerges.
Otherwise we'll lose a valuable opportunity. It will be difficult to catch in the future.
Is the Mountain Spirit really that clever?
Certainly more clever than you.
I'll capture him and let you determine that.
Mountain Spirit.
That's the Mountain Spirit?
Little Tiger Brother, you must be careful. The body of a Mountain Spirit is very fragile. Be careful not to hurt it.
You must be careful. This Mountain Spirit is very clever. It may not be easily captured by brute force.
Why don't we separate? Let's approach from different directions
and surround it. Then we'll wait for an opportune moment and act.
I think this would be an easier way to capture it.
Okay.
Let's move forward some more. Go.
Okay.
Brother Hu, wolves are the mountain spirit's natural enemies.
Chase the mountain spirit!- Chase! chase!
Catch him! Quick!
I got him! I got him!
Off we go.
He ran away! He ran away!
Catching a mountain spirit is quite easy.
- Strange.- Vicious!
It ran away.
Never fear, we'll hide a bit more.
We'll wait a bit more, and then we'll come out.
With you frightening him like that, he would be an idiot to come out.
Think quick, what other way do we have to make him come out?
What other solution do we have to catch the mountain spirit?
I've heard my teacher saying that mountain spirits are good by nature.
If there is a child crying at night, it will definitely come forward and calm him.
Little child crying...
Easy, easy, leave it to me. I'm about to cry.
I'm about to cry.
I'm about to give a crying scene.
I can't cry.
Hey, hey, hey, your crying is so phony.
I have an idea.
Cry!
Hey, don't hit him!
Keep going! Keep going!
Don't hit him!
Cry
Why do you hit me?
It's so funny!
- Mom! Mom!
- He's crying.
Mom, Mom.
Go on, go on!
Mom!
Mom.
Go on, go on.
Mom!
Put him in, put him in!
- Little Fish!- What is it, Little Fish?
Let's go, no time to waste. Calm down.- Xue Lian, we're going.
How would we dissolve the poison in the water?
We need to release the mountain spirit into the water.
Mountain spirit, Mountain spirit, we've captured you only in order to dissolve
the water's poison and benefit the people of Phoenix City. I hope you do not blame us. Don't blame us, don't.
Give us a helping hand.

We've made it this time.
- See?- Good.
The mountain spirit!
- Don't run!- Chase him!
- Don't run!- Quick!
This way!
- Chase him! quick!- This way!
Isn't that the cave of pouring gold?
The cave of pouring gold?
Brother Mi! Brother Mi! Brother Hu!
You're so bad! You've bitten me until I fainted, and then tossed me aside carelessly!
- Okay, okay.- I'll punch you!
Okay, okay, stop.
Isn't that the cave of pouring gold, where we ran into the fake immortal?
Fake immortal?
Is it related to that evil spirit?
But this cave opening is blocked by a rock. How would we get inside?
We can't get in. Brother Xiao Hu and I have tried before.
This rock must weigh 1800 jin. (900kg)
It simply cannot be moved.
Come on, let me give it a shot.
Alright.
How did that happen!?
Did the demon know that our whole group would be coming here?
He's scared of not opening the cave to greet us.
Who cares! Now that the cave is open we can just go in and grab him.
Just don't rush in there.
That Scarlet Smelter has purposefully led us to this point, then the boulder will collapse. It's clearly a trap.
Who cares if it's a trap?! If I don't go in and grab him, do you think he'll come out on his own and beg for mercy?
Hey, hey!
How did my clothes change?
That's strange. Why have I changed back?
I forgot to tell you. As soon as we leave Phoenix City,
our clothes will take on a new appearance. This time, this suit is not so bad.
Last time it was ugly. Don't discuss this now.
The most important matter now is to go inside and rescue the Mountain Spirit.
Brother Hu.
Sister Xue Lian!
Xue Lian.
-Sister Xue Lian.- Xue Lian, where are you?
Where are you, Sister Xue Lian?
- Sister Xue Lian.- Xue Lian, where are you?
Xue Lian.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Let's go.
Be a bit more careful!
Xue Lian?
A bit slower! slower!
Xue Lian!
Big Sister Xue Lian!
Xue Lian!
Brother Hu! I'm here!
Xue Lian, I'm coming to save you.
Hey, wait, wait.
That monster is so crafty and cunning.
Brother Xiao Hu. Look out. He's right beside you.
Stinky demon, get out here now.
Look out.
Careful. Poisoned darts.
I don't care. Xue Lian, I'm coming to save you.
Be careful, Brother Xiao Hu.
Stinky demon, get out here now!
Stinky demon, let her go.
Otherwise, I'll kill you now and then I'll set fire to your demon cave.
I will not free her just because you say so.
If I did, I could rise to the heavens and become a Bodhisattva. (T/N saintly Buddhist spirit)
The false god that Xing Hu and they met last time in the Yongjin Cave,
and treated me badly. That was just you transformed.
The fake Little Fish was you, too.
I was careless that day for a short time and let you see through my ruse.
Sure enough, it was all your evil-doing putting poison in that water.
It's just a pity this river is too wide. The poison was diluted and not able to cause death.
Demon. Phoenix City bore you no ill feeling. Why did you have to poison the water? Speak.
When did you hear of demons being reasonable?
You let her go!
Don't do that!
Why should I listen to you? As long as I exert only a little effort, she will groan in pain.
Don't!
You're bullying a girl. What kind of skill do you call that?
From what I can tell, at most,
he seems to be a lowly demon who is only capable of hiding in a leaky, lousy cave and bullying the weak.
If you have the guts, just give it a try. Kill her.
With our combined strengths, we will surely kill you. We will only rest when your bones have been reduced to dust.
You all seem to care about her. Fascinating, fascinating. Then which of you three
care about her the most?
Stinky demon! What are you up to?
Nobody speaks?
What do you want from us? What are you doing?
It's quite simple. Out of you three, who actually cares about her the most?
Just do what I tell you to do and do it well.
If I am in a good mood, I may release her.
Very well. I have heard that man has gold underneath his knees, but I have never seen it. T/N: Chinese idiom - a man doesn't easily kneel in front of others.
Kneel and bow down before me.
Let me see if you indeed have gold.
I'll kill you first.
- Big Sister Xue Lian!- Xue Lian!
Demon, let go of her. Let go of her.
Brother Xiao Hu, don't worry about me. Hurry and leave.
Brother Xiao Hu, hurry and leave.
I'll beat you. Let go of her. Sister Xue Lian!
Leave, Brother Xiao Hu!
Sister Xue Lian!
Brother Xiao Hu, what are you doing?
- Brother Xiao Hu.-Don't do it, Brother Xiao Hu!
It appears that you are indeed superior. Very entertaining.
I have already done as you've said. Release her.
To save her, you are truly willing to do anything?
So what if I am?
Very well.
You have ambition. I remember that your fist-fighting skills are very impressive.
I am still capable of beating you to dust.
Very well. You are ambitious.
Then try using the strength in both your left and right arm,
and hit your left arm with your right arm, and hit your right arm with your left arm.
Let me see whether your right arm is superior or your left arm is superior.
Brother Xiao Hu, don't. Don't listen to him. Hurry and leave.
Brother Xiao Hu. You can't. You really can't do that.
Xiao Hu, you cannot listen to him.
He clearly wants you to self-destruct your arms.
Then our collective strength will weaken and we will be slaughtered by him.
I will help you make your decision. Guess. If I were to pour this poison on her, what would happen to her?
I think it will be very entertaining. But if you do as I say, I might release her.
Xing Hu, don't do it.
Brother Xiao Hu, hurry and leave. Don't worry about me.
Don't.
Very well. If you dare to lie to me, I will destroy you.
Xing Hu, don't be silly.
Brother Xiao Hu, don't do it. This demon is surely lying.
I have made up my mind. Don't hinder me.
Brother Xiao Hu!
- Xing Hu. - Brother Xiao Hu.
Brother Xiao Hu, Brother Xiao Hu!
I have already done as you've said. Hurry and release Xue Lian.
-That's right, release her. -Release her.
The child is correct. Now that you're gravely injured, why must I listen to you?
Brother Xiao Hu!
- Stop.- Brother Xiao Hu!
Brother Xiao Hu!
