The Taoism Grandmaster
Episode 11
This morning we had a narrow escape from City of No Tears.
While now we've been in this city.
It's just like a dream of thousands of years.
A dream of thousands of years,
for such a city without tears
but only happiness,
it's a sweet dream indeed.
Well, tears running dry,
is without tears too.
All right.
Let it go.
We come here to enjoy our time.
Hey.
Why do you leave me behind?
I didn't see you.
Where were you just now?
Well, we're hungry.
This afternoon, Qianqiu
gave us
two special eggs.
So, we're late.
But you're later.
We're waiting for the girls.
But finally,
We can't wait.
So we decide
to take some wine first.
Where are others going?
They've been there already.
So why are we just standing here?
Let's go.
Look. It's great.
Yeah. It's good.
Do you think tonight the City of No tears
is different than it used to be?
Indeed.
The landlady of Wine's World is over there.
We can ask her.
OK.
Let's go.
Ma'am.
Handsome guys.
I've heard
you've been
the competitors.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Ma'am.
Why there are so many people tonight?
Tonight
is the autumn worship ceremony in City of No Tears.
The autumn worship ceremony?
Is it the day a thousand years ago
when the Arche War happened?
Exactly.
A thousand years ago,
the Wolf's world slew all the people in City of No Tears
to declare war to the Three Realms.
Well,
in the day after a thousand year,
the worship ceremony is not only for celebrating the harvest,
but also symbolizing the arrival of a new start.
Quite a coincidence.
Today,
is our new start too.
We'll join you,
to celebrate together.
It's my pleasure.
It's the Rite of Flowers,
which can purify the land and our minds,
and bless everything.
The girls are coming.
They're coming.
Senior Disciple.
Senior.
Um...I'd thought you've missed
the most beautiful moment.
The moment when we're here,
is the most beautiful moment in the city,
isn't it?
Ladies and gentlemen,
come and dance!
Dancing?
My master doesn't teach me that.
It's easy
to learn.
Come here.
Let's go.
- Let's dance. - Let's dance.
Let's dance.
- I can't dance. - Let's go. - Let's dance.
- Great! - It's good!
Great tune indeed.
But the musicians is disappointing.
Han Shang,
why not join them?
Good idea.
Let's go.
I didn't thought the passion of young people
should attract your interest. Castellan Qiye.
There hasn't been happiness
for a long time.
Exactly.
Young people's passion is always so attractive.
But,
unfortunately,
all of this
is just like Samsara.
Because happiness
will disappear in the end.
This lonely city
will be covered in blood again.
You mean,
we will lose the Second War,
and they will die?
Tonight
is their
last night.
- Go! Go! - Come on!
Senior. Go go!
Senior Disciple wins!
Great!
I lose.
I'll drink up the jar of wine.
Changfeng,
pour me some wine.
Me too.
Good.
My lads.
And me.
Though I win,
I'd like to drink with you.
Good. So,
where are my other lads?
- Me. - It's me.
Good.
Let's
enjoy our night!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Han,
toast you,
for becoming the Taoism Seeker.
We still have tests.
You will.
We believe you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
We've drunk up the wine.
Wine!
-Anyone here? - All right.
I'll go.
Toast you.
For forgiveness?
Certainly not.
You tried to kill my brother
to pass the last trial.
Don't you think you own us an apologize?
If you were me,
I believe you'll do the same
just like me.
Be frank.
Tell me.
Will you make the same decision?
So why do you toast me?
For your tune.
It's beautiful.
Of course.
Qianqiu,
where are you going?
I'm going to drink with Mei Kongyun.
With her?
She's over there.
All right.
It's OK.
I'm here.
I can drink with you.
OK.
To celebrate for
we've become the competitors.
Cheers.
You're drunk?
A little.
Not drunk.
I'm drunk.
So why do you still hold the jar?
What?
Guess what I am thinking about?
Why?
I want to see if you're really clever or not.
You're drunk.
If you got the wrong answer, you'll drink it.
But if I'm right?
I'll drink it.
OK.
You're thinking
if every day of the city
could be just like today,
full of happiness,
joy
and
you could marry with the one you love,
to have a family here,
that would be a happy thing.
So, who should drink it?
How do you know?
Because
it's what I'm thinking too.
They're over there.
My teammate,
they want to
have a drink with us.
Yes.
Without you,
we might
have lost the battle.
So,
we must toast you.
Not at all. Kunlun.
Without your help
in the last trial,
I would have died.
Drink it.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers.
Your Majesty.
Everyone has gathered in the sealed border,
and the presbyter of Wind is going to break the seal soon
to let our Vanguard Army enter Man's world.
I've been ready.
Scared?
No. I'm just afraid to let Your Majesty down
if I can't find who may be
the potential Taoism Seeker.
You have the Magical Purple Eyes,
which can find the Taoism Seeker.
It's proved that there's something predestined
between you and the Taoism Seeker.
Just follow
what have been predestined.
My practice of years,
has made the seven drops of blood.
When you need contact me,
drop one.
But remember,
it can just be used seven times.
Use it
when it's necessary.
I see.
Liuli,
you look confused.
I don't know.
Is it because you shed tears for Zhang Ling?
Evil fox never sheds tear
until...
until
you fall in love with him.
No. I don't.
I just think he's an interesting person.
Everything he did is always unexpected.
Whatever I need to use the Change of Destiny,
he could figure it out just in a daze.
But,
I don't know
why I shed tears for him.
Is it the LOVE
in Man's world?
Human can love.
So do we.
Get it?
No.
I once tried the Change of Destiny
to figure it out. But I still can't understand.
What does it tell you?
It said
I would understand love when I lost it.
When you lose it...
It's said
When you realize the essence of love,
it's the moment you lose it.
And when it leaves you,
you lose all meanwhile.
And when you're against the Three Realms
to avoid not losing it,
regardless of being in the hell,
or being destroyed.
perhaps,
you can realize the essence of love
from such hardship.
Oh, that's too crazy.
Maybe.
Remember your mission
when you come to Man's world.
Never be that crazy person.
But,
what should I do
if I became crazy?
I couldn't help you then.
Your Majesty, it's time.
The four presbyters are awaiting.
I see.
Liuli,
it's time to go.
Take it easy.
You'll make it.
I believe you.
Where's Bai Qianji?
She is packing up her luggage,
and will come soon.
Your Majesty.
My Masters.
Why do you bring the Blood Cell?
This is my luggage.
I've been confined
in the Cell for thousands of years.
I'm used to sleeping in it.
So I've made some adjustment,
and take it to Man's world,
as my den.
Have you asked us for permission?
Can I ask for permission now?
You know, I can't fall into sleep
without the stuff.
Can I...
All right.
Let it go.
Don't make more troubles.
Thank you. My master.
Master,
this ring is extraordinary, isn't it?
Of course.
Ring of the Wolf symbolizes
the highest military leadership of the Wolf's World.
Really?
So beautiful.
I want one too.
The presbyter of Wind will sacrifice himself
to break the Barrier and let you enter Man's world.
You're the last hope
of the Wolf's World.
Your mission is,
at all costs,
to stop the appearance of the Taoism Seeker.
Bai Qianji,
will be your leader.
You should obey her orders.
Get it?
Yes!
Ready?
Yes!
Start.
You, prepare
to get into the Blood Cell.
Well, since master of Wind
will sacrifice himself
to break the seal,
I'd like to be a witness.
Do you really believe this evil fox
is controlled by you,
instead of making a fool of you?
Your Majesty,
why so serious?
I just want to say farewell
to the presbyter of Wind.
Presbyter,
it's the time.
Your Majesty,
please convey my regret to the King,
for I can't have the chance
to see the Wolf's World comes back to Man's world.
Whether I agree with
your sacrifice or not,
it cannot be denied
your loyalty to the Wolf's World.
Your sacrifice is invaluable for us.
Trust me.
You're our hero forever.
Thank you. Your Majesty.
Presbyters,
I'm going to leave.
When your souls return to the Waste Land,
we'll gather at that time.
It's come.
* A drinking games in Ancient China.
You lose. Drink it.
Come on.
May I have your attention?
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have some words.
The Taoism Trial Competition
is going to begin at midnight.
Among we 49 competitors,
only one can be the Taoism Seeker.
That's to say,
though in the battle of Five Great Mountains
we've fought shoulder by shoulder,
soon,
we'll be rivals
with each other,
or be washed out,
even be killed.
But,
at this very moment,
we're still friends.
So I hope
everyone could cherish this moment,
and at such a precious moment,
we could look around
to keep everyone
in our mind.
- Good idea. - Great!
Come on.
For meeting.
Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I've got an idea.
The Crystal Stone
can help us record this moment
and let it never fade away.
How about
we use it,
to record the scene
of we 49 competitors,
and leave it here
as a keepsake?
- Right. - Sounds good.
Sounds great.
Kunlun. Join me, please.
Join us.
OK.
- OK. - OK.
- Come on. - Go.
Sounds boring.
Shang.
Leave here?
Han Shang,
Hold on.
Come and join us.
Why? You don't like us, do you?
It seems you don't like us either.
Call it even.
Without you,
our memory would be incomplete.
Absolutely. Come on.
Join us.
Shang,
just to leave an illusion.
Not a big deal.
Let's go.
OK.
Han Yu.
Be generous.
Give it a smile.
Ready?
Let's keep the happiest moment
for ever.
Come and have a look.
- Look at you. - It's funny.
Great.
Oh, I look so wired.
Ma'am,
may I
put it here?
Of course.
It's my pleasure.
It's the emergency call from the Alliance.
Has the Wolf's World taken actions
and started the Taoism Trial Competition in advance?
Anyway,
go back to the Alliance first.
Alas. You've been drunk here tonight.
When will you come back?
I've got news
the Vanguard Army of the Wolf's World
is going to break the seal of Infinite Pagoda
and come here.
Now I declare
the decision of the Alliance.
In accordance with the last words of the founders,
the Taoism Trial Competition's going to be started,
and the Second War
has begun.
Five Great Mountains!
God of Mirror.
If the Three Realms cannot be purified,
the Taoism and the kalpa come together.
All is one.
Demons end in Taoism.
Five Great Mountains!
The Taoism Trial Competition
begins.
Seemingly,
it's time to go.
My Master,
give the Ring to me.
How dare you!
Go back to your Blood Cell!
But,
without the Ring,
I can't go!
You evil thing.
Aren't you afraid of Spell of Heart Devouring?
Yeah.
But,
if I died,
who could be the leader of the Vanguard Army ?
And,
all of them are the master-hands of our World.
If you don't give this to me,
how can I have the power to command them?
It's going to be unsealed.
Come on!
Just give her.
Thank you. My master.
Now,
I can have fun when arriving.
It's time.
The Vanguard Army
can't be traced
because of the technique of hidden.
Stand up and listen up.
The Taoism Trial Competition
can change the fate,
and create destiny,
to give you
the chance of becoming the Taoism Seeker
when you get challenges in the Competition.
With Mirror of Sky,
I'll collect the messages of chance,
and seek the enlightenment.
I''ll set different tasks
for you to complete.
You tasks may be cope with the Wolf's World,
seek the treasures,
or
seek the Saint Armor.
Anyone who cannot fulfill the task
in the appointed time,
will be washed out.
Understand?
Understood.
OK.
Now I'll announce the rules.
First,
each of you
will get a Bright Moon Mirror.
About the directions,
during the tasks,
the Elf of Mirror will tell you the details.
If you lose the Bright Moon Mirror,
you'll be washed out at once.
Two,
unless you die,
you cannot quit from the Competition.
And no matter what danger you're facing,
the Alliance never helps you.
If you insist in quit,
the half of your cultivation
will be taken away by the Mirror.
Three,
when the Competition starts,
the five pieces of the Saint Armor will reappear,
on the impact of the chance.
And when the five pieces of the Saint Armor are obtained,
the Taoism Trial Competition
will come into the final.
The winner in the final
can take the last trial of the Saint Armor.
If passing the trial,
he or she will be
the Taoism Seeker of the Second War,
and also the next chief of the Alliance of Five Great Mountains.
Competitors,
The fate of the whole world is decided by this Competition.
This Competition differs from the battle of Five Great Mountains,
for you'll face with the real enemies.
Now,
when the Vanguard Army is traced,
the first battle of the Taoism Trial Competition
will start immediately.
Make some preparations.
Get ready.
Yes ma'am.
Go
and prepare yourselves.
Yes, sir.
I, Bai Qianji, has come back.
The air in Man's world smells better.
The world,
I'm here.
Hey, can you hear me?
I'm back.
Why no response?
Could it be
I've been forgotten by this world?
No way!
No!
I'll remind you of me.
I'll make all of you,
in the Three Realms
remember me.
Now I need 49 of the Vanguard.
Who will be the first?
This land of Dead Ruins,
has surrounded by the Wolf's mephitis,
so we're protected from being traced
by Alliance of Five Great Mountains
Now,
the Dead Ruins
is our temporary encampment.
And your first mission,
is to find those 49 competitors,
and greet.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Xiao Yu,
are you OK?
Feifei,
I'm worried.
Don't worry.
The Shield of Mind is a valuable treasure,
and can keep you safe.
Those common evil things cannot hurt you.
But when we were in the Neverland,
I was controlled by the evil tree,
and I even hurt you.
If you hadn't helped me,
I might have fallen in the nightmare,
and never waken up.
The evil tree is not common evil.
He's practiced for a thousand years.
I was nearly killed by him too.
But the Wolf's World
is eviler than that tree, isn't it?
Without your company and help,
alone,
I've really scared!
If scared,
you can quit now.
Though half of your cultivation will be taken by the Bright Moon Mirror,
you cultivation seems too little
to feel sorry.
Take it easy.
The first challenge hasn't been decided.
Maybe we still can help each other.
Even if the first one is passed,
what about others?
Those who have mastered better immortal techniques
have left after the battle of Five Great Mountains.
But you remain here.
Maybe you and the Competition have some special connection.
Leave it aside
until we pass this one.
Right.
Or,
I'll break the Mirror,
and flee.
No matter what happens,
you should protect yourself first.
Yun Qi,
Something is confusing me.
What's that?
Well,
since the Competition
can select the Taoism Seeker
and find the Saint Armor,
why it didn't start earlier？
I asked Master
the same question.
He told me,
that the Competition
is a new and good way
by setting challenges and eliminating the evils,
make the competitors become the candidate of the Taoism Seeker,
through experiencing hardships and difficulties.
But it's very dangerous.
Maybe no one could survive to the last moment.
If the Taoism Seeker doesn't appear
while the elites of the Immortal's World die there,
who can fight in the Second War?
I see.
Seemingly,
if the Wolf's World hadn't broken the seal in advance,
Master wouldn't have started
the Taoism Trial Competition.
It's hard to make the decision,
for once it starts,
it won't be stopped.
So it doesn't matter
that we can be the Taoism Seeker or not.
The more important is
that we should survive til the Second War,
to fight with the Wolf's World.
Got it.
I'm expecting.
Xia Yu,
what are you expecting?
I'm expecting
the next trial.
Do you know what will happen?
What I'm afraid most is
that you've still indulged
in the battle,
but haven't been prepared,
not knowing what will happen next.
In the next trial,
what we'll face
is not the illusions in the Dreamland.
It's a battle of life or death.
We don't know what our enemies are,
and,
the one-to-one battle,
means
we can't help others
until we beat
our own enemies.
Once we fail,
we'll die.
Among the disciples of Master,
I'm not willing to see any of you die.
It's a crucial issue.
It's a fighting.
I want you to understand.
Understand?
Understood.
What about them?
Have they prepared?
It can be Ju Xiong.
- It should be Han Shang. - Zhang Ling.
- Must be Han Shang. - No way. - Zhang Ling.
All of us are so nervous.
Only you can fall asleep.
As for immortal technique, cultivation or morality,
Ju Xiong,
is not inferior than Han Shang.
The ranking is listed
and agreed by other competitors.
Well,
only you disagree.
Alright.
Stop arguing.
Tie Lang,
make a judgment.
Do you think Ju Xiong and Han Shang,
who is superior?
Well, I don't know
how to judge.
Last night,
when we drunk in Wine's World,
someone made a ranking list
of we 49 competitors.
The top one,
is Kunlun.
I agree to it.
The cultivation of Kunlun,
has reached the highest level.
So he must be the top one.
But...
Lian Changfeng is the second.
Who is the third one?
Well, Han Shang.
And Ju Xiong is the fourth.
No. It's not reasonable.
Sword of Flame of Lian Changfeng
is handed down by Master of Flame.
He is second to Kunlun.
I agree.
But the third place,
should be Ju Xiong.
No.
Yes.
Tie Lang?
They don't compete with each other,
so it's hard to say.
Well,
I think they can compete
for the third place.
Ju Xiong and Han Shang.
You're all wrong.
It should be Wang Wei.
Wang Wei?
Who's he?
Who?
It's him.
Where is he from?
I don't know him.
Did he join the battle?
Of course,
or he wouldn't be here.
I have no impression on him.
Wang Wei?
I haven't heard of the name.
In which school?
I didn't know his name
until the Management Team told me.
They said he's from South Sea School.
South Sea School?
They seldom come to the Central Plains.
No wonder I haven't heard of it.
Exactly.
He's too humble
to be remembered.
Why do you think he's superior than Ju Xiong and Han Shang?
That's why
I've noticed him.
But every time
I found him
among the 49 competitors,
I was confused and racked my brain.
Finally I recalled whether when we fought against Qiongqi,
or Wolf King I,
he would disappear.
While when the trial ended
and everyone was going to leave,
he appeared.
Well,
with the slightest wounds.
Maybe he's a lucky dog?
If it is,
well, his luck
is really a strong weapon.
Are you alright?
You're aching too?
Yes.
It's the Egg.
No way.
