Yuan.
-Come here. -No.
I won't.
Yuan, you are bothering him.
It's fine. Let him sit.
Well, Yuan.
You've changed.
Ready to turn to anyone for material benefit, I see.
Wei Wuxian.
It's good.
You do know what filial piety means, right?
Silence during meals.
Don't talk when you're eating.
Outrageous!
I must repeat myself several times before he obeys.
While you just need to say it once.
Outrageous!
Silence during meals.
You too.
You didn't change a bit after all this time.
Why did you come to Yiling?
I'm familiar with things here.
Do you want me to be your guide?
Lan Zhan.
You are really an awful liar.
You're not coming for me, are you?
Lan Zhan.
I was going to ask you to come by my place.
But if you want to talk about
Qin, meditation, and mind tranquility,
then forget about it.
I can control myself.
I don't need anyone to save me.
-Wei Ying. -All right, Lan Zhan.
I finally met someone I knew from before
who doesn't try to avoid me.
It's been several very dull months.
Why don't you tell me something
about what big events happened out there?
What do you mean by "big events"?
Like if a new clan appeared somewhere,
whether a clan expanded its residence,
and which clans allied, and so on.
Just chatting, you know? About anything is fine.
A marriage.
A marriage?
Which clans?
The Jin Clan of Lanling
and the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.
Do you mean my sister...
Lady Jiang and Jin Zixuan?
When will it be?
When's the ceremony?
In half a month.
Such a big event.
Jiang Cheng didn't even try to find a way to tell me.
However,
even if he'd told me,
what could I do then?
Officially, Jiang Cheng has announced to the world
that I defected from the clan
and I had nothing to do with the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng anymore.
What could I do even if he had told me?
It's just that Jin Zixuan got what he desired.
Lan Zhan,
what do you think of this marriage?
Oh, that's right.
Why did I ask you?
It's not like you ever cared about these things.
I know that behind my sister's back
many say that my sister doesn't deserve Jin Zixuan.
In my eyes though,
that peacock is the one who doesn't deserve my sister.
Lan Zhan.
Do you know?
My sister deserves the best man in the world.
Jiang Cheng and I once said that
we'll make our sister's wedding one that everyone praises.
It will be worth mentioning for a hundred years.
None would be equal to it.
I'll watch my sister get married with absolute splendor.
What was that for?
I won't be able to watch it anyway.
Wei Ying.
Oh, no. Something happened at the Burial Mounds.
Lan Zhan, we have to go!
Lan Zhan? Why are you following us?
Why aren't you wielding your sword?
I forgot to bring it.
Young Master Wei.
Yuan.
Sir, what happened?
-It's Demon-Subdue Palace. -Yuan.
Something happened there.
Didn't I set a restriction there before I left?
Who changed it?
Nobody!
It was...
-It was... -Ning!
Ning!
Wen Ning!
I've been using Stygian Tiger Amulet to cure Win Ning.
Hoping it can help him regain his mind.
It's the last step.
I didn't expect that...
Ning!
Didn't I say do not touch the talismans on him?
Nobody touched them!
Not a single person went into the Blood Pool Cave!
He suddenly went on a rampage himself
and ruined both the restrictions in Blood Pool Cave
and Demon-Subdue Palace.
Resentful energy in the pool all got released.
Wen Qing!
You take them away first.
Lady Wen, let's go!
The talisman wall was destroyed. No one can stop him now.
We can't let him go down the hill!
Ning!
Hanguang Jun,
please go easy on him!
Ning!
-Lady Wen. -Lady Wen.
Lan Zhan.
Wait a second.
Young Master...
Wen Ning.
Young Master Wei.
Ning.
Wen Qing...
It's done!
-Ning woke up! -Ning.
Let's go back and tell everyone!
-It's me! -Ning woke up!
It's your sister!
Ning.
How do you feel right now?
I want to cry...
but
I can't.
You just had a nightmare.
It's all right now.
You did it.
Of course.
I am a man of my word.
Lan Zhan.
Since you're here,
why not pay a visit?
The Demon-Subdue Palace?
That's right.
I came up with the name.
How is it?
I know.
In your heart,
you must be saying "not good."
Actually, I picked up some comments out there,
saying that I'm a person who studies crafty tricks
and how could I be so shameless
as to call my den the Demon-Subdue Palace?
But they're all wrong.
What I really meant by this name
is not at all what they interpreted it as.
And its meaning is also different from
what the Demon-Subdue Palace Xue Chonghai built means.
How come?
Simple.
Just because I sleep here often.
A cave with a demonic man lying.
Shouldn't it be the Demon-Subdue Palace?
Come on.
Let me show you around.
The Stygian energy is dense.
That's right.
The Stygian energy is dense.
But fit for cultivation.
This is my healing land,
just like your clan's Cold Spring.
Wen Ning used to be here for healing.
But since
the Amulet drew Wen Ning's original resentful energy out of his body,
the water in the pool
is smelling more and more like blood.
So it's called Blood Pool.
Wei Ying.
What?
Can you really control it?
Control what?
Do you mean Wen Ning?
Of course, I can.
Look.
He's already returned to consciousness.
What if he lost consciousness again?
I've been an expert on dealing with his rampage.
Now he is controlled by the Stygian Tiger Amulet.
As long as I can control the Amulet,
nothing will happen to him.
But what if something does happen
to you or the Amulet?
It won't.
How could you be sure?
It won't,
and it can't.
Do you want to keep it this way from now on?
What's wrong with keeping it this way?
Tell you what.
Don't underestimate this land.
This mountain here
is even bigger than Cloud Recesses.
Our food here tastes much better too.
Wei Ying,
you know what I mean.
Lan Zhan.
You really are something out of this world.
I've already avoided the topic
and you pulled it back again.
Your injuries.
No need.
Why use spiritual energy for such a small wound?
I can just sit here, and it'll heal itself.
It will heal itself?
Have you forgotten about me?
Young Master Wei.
Young Master Lan.
Why are you here?
Did you finish crying so soon?
Just watch how I'll make you cry later!
What a joke!
Just by yourself?
You are so cruel.
Wei Ying!
I have crueler things.
Do you want to see?
Spare me, please.
I wouldn't want to try that.
Young Master Wei.
I'm sorry.
That's enough.
You really thought you could hurt me with a punch like that?
Wait a minute.
What's going on?
How can you let a guest drink plain water?
Where is the tea?
I asked just now
and they said there's no tea.
That's so inappropriate, Wen Ning.
The next time a guest comes over, we must prepare...
Right.
We won't have more guests?
Let's go.
I'll see you off down the hill.
Lan Zhan,
you asked me if I intended to
keep it that way from now on.
To be honest,
I'd also like to ask what I can do
except this?
Give up on the crafty tricks
and surrender the Stygian Tiger Amulet?
Then what about the people on this mountain?
Turn them in?
I can't do that.
I believe that if you were me,
you couldn't do that either.
Can anybody give me a nice, favorable choice?
A choice that I could protect those I want to protect
without studying the crafty tricks
and using the Stygian Tiger Amulet.
Lan Zhan.
Thank you.
Thanks for your company today.
And thanks for telling me that my sister is going to get married.
But let yourself be the judge of what's right and what is wrong,
leave others' comments aside,
and care little about gain and loss.
What I should do.
I know it very well.
I believe that
I'll be able to control it well.
Lan Zhan.
Won't you stay today and eat with us?
Young Master Wei. I'm sorry.
Yuan himself...
Yuan, come here.
Come on.
Yuan.
Lan Zhan has food back in his own home.
He won't be staying.
But...
Yuan heard a secret.
They said that there'll be lots of tasty food today.
Yuan.
I'm leaving.
Wei Wuxian,
will that rich man ever come here again?
Who's the rich man?
The rich man from a while ago.
You really like him that much, don't you?
-Give it back! -Try to get it.
Give it back!
He bought it for me!
No. I won't give it back.
Unless you say that you like Wei Wuxian.
I like Wei Wuxian.
Okay. Here it is.
Wei Wuxian.
Will the rich man come back again or not?
Probably not.
Why?
There's no reason why.
In this world,
everyone has their own things to do,
their own paths to walk.
Who cares about the crowded, broad avenue?
I'll stick to my single-log bridge until it's dark.
until it's dark...
My single-log bridge...
Dark?
Not dark at all.
DEMON-SUBDUE PALACE
There's no hurry.
Everyone has food.
Thank you. It's enough.
Why is everyone still awake?
Is that enough for you?
Have some more.
Meat!
Here comes the young master.
You hung so many lanterns today.
Isn't that too costly?
We hung them for you.
We'll make more tomorrow to hang them along the mountain path.
If you rush around in the dark all the time,
you'll slip and break your bone someday.
Why don't you sit?
Okay. Let's sit down.
What?
Haven't you started yet?
No.
We were waiting for you.
Why did you wait for me?
These past few days, you've worked hard.
You're suddenly talking so nicely to me.
I'm kind of scared.
In fact,
they all wanted to have dinner with you,
so that they could thank you.
But you're either jumping up and down, running around,
or shutting yourself inside the cave and staying in there for days upon end,
not letting anyone disturb you.
They didn't want to hold up your work and annoy you.
They thought you didn't like interacting with others
and didn't want to talk to them,
so they were too embarrassed to talk to you.
Now that Ning woke up,
everyone was busy celebrating.
So they didn't have time to talk to you.
It's fine even if you don't eat.
Just sit here with everyone,
and we can chat and have a few drinks.
-Come on. Have a seat. -Okay. Sit.
Drink?
There's liquor up here?
Yes, there is.
Here.
Fruit wine,
made from the wild fruits on this mountain.
Have a try.
Sir likes drinking.
He knows how to brew by himself
and made them especially for you.
He's been trying for many days.
Really?
Then I have to try some!
It really is rich!
Good! Give me another bowl!
You made
all these dishes?
It's Ning.
Ning.
Coal-faced!
Come on. Everyone.
Bottoms up!
-To Young Master Wei. -To Young Master Wei.
Come on.
Drink up.
Come on, please.
Come, eat.
Sir, come on.
Drink it.
Good!
Sir, one more.
You can't drink anymore?
Come on.
No. I can't.
No? That's what you got?
Wen Qing.
There's no more wine.
There are four more bottles. We can save them for later.
You can call it a day for now.
How could this be?
People say that a good name after death can't compare
to some good wine when living.
A full cup, please.
There's no next time.
I really think you should quit drinking.
You drink way too heavily.
It's not like it's the Cloud Recesses here.
Why should I quit drinking?
Wen Qing.
The first time I met Lan Zhan
was when I brought Emperor's Smile
into Cloud Recesses.
What a pity that you didn't see his face,
his stony face.
But the Emperor's Smile of Gusu
is really delicious.
I wonder if there's a chance
to drink it again.
I'm a good-for-nothing.
I promised my sister that I would help her
hold the most splendid wedding in the world.
But now
I can't even attend the wedding.
I am completely useless.
SONGFENG SHUIYUE PAVILION
Master Lan said
Hanguang Jun can leave now.
YILING TEAHOUSE
Do you know that?
If you go further into the mountain,
you'll be in the Burial Mounds.
Burial Mounds?
Isn't that the place where Wei Wuxian,
the traitor of Jiang Clan who calls himself the Yiling Patriarch, lives?
Yes.
Do you want to die?
How dare you go further?
Wei Wuxian had made the strongest puppet, Wen Ning.
Yes.
It was said that Wen Ning was not only
incomparably fast and strong
but on top of that,
its consciousness was preserved.
It's much more powerful than the walking corpses made by the Wen Clan.
No wonder he is called Ghost General.
I suggest that you'd better not go.
What if Wen Ning--
There's something you don't know.
Wei Wuxian has created his own crafty tricks,
including
Compass of Evil, Flame Talisman and so on.
They're very novel.
I heard that many people have become his disciples.
I also want to broaden my horizons.
Attention please, everybody.
I'm the Chief Disciple of Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian.
Today, I'm here to show you my newly designed talisman.
YILING PATRIARCH THE SUPREME LORD
Everybody.
This is the Flame Talisman, which won't be quenched by Stygian wind.
A must-have item for staying at home or going on travel.
It only costs one silver coin.
-I want one. -I want one.
-Give me one. -Give me one. I'll have one, too.
Hey. Don't rush, everybody.
-Wait a moment. -Give me one.
With such little trick like Flame Talisman,
you want to go in the name of the Yiling Patriarch to scam people?
Buddy.
How shameless of you!
Awesome!
Who is the true disciple of the Yiling Patriarch?
He is really professional!
Who are you?
Who am I?
I just got out of the Burial Mounds.
I never saw that my master
has accepted a disciple like you.
Do you mean I'm fake?
I think you're fake!
Look, everybody.
These are my master's newly invented talisman tools.
It's not something like Flame Talisman.
Don't be fooled, everyone.
You're talking nonsense!
Nonsense?
Well, you can show me the evidence.
Don't be fooled by him.
He's a liar.
Who is the liar?
I believe everybody knows it.
Liar, I'm the Chief Disciple of the Yiling Patriarch!
I am!
By using such small tricks, how dare you impersonate the disciple?
Don't go! Believe me.
I am the Chief Disciple!
He's a liar!
These are my master's latest inventions!
What are they talking about?
Don't believe this liar, everybody!
Let's go.
FALSE
Here you are.
What happened? What's going on?
Is he all right?
Young Master Wei!
-Are you injured? Are you okay? -Are you all right?
What's going on?
What happened?
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
Just a little accident.
Everyone can go back.
-Go on with your work. -Let's go.
-Don't look at me anymore. Go to work.
Let's continue our work.
What strange thing are you working on?
Compass of Evil.
It's very powerful.
Go buy some meat.
This is all the money?
Take this bag of turnips
and sell it.
Wen Ning.
Sorry!
Let's go.
