The Untamed
Episode 08
[ Guesthouse ]
Wen Ning.
I'm coming in.
Why's he gone just like that?
Little Rabbit. Little Rabbit.
Pets are forbidden in Cloud Recesses.
So I had to hide you guys here.
Are you happy here?
"I'm happy."
Okay. Since you're happy here,
I won't worry.
Should I take you guys with me to Lotus Pier.
No, no, no good.
If Lan Zhan gets bored and wants to find you guys,
he won't be able to.
But...
Wangji, be careful along the way.
Tell me, where'd he go by himself?
He's not going to find Stygian Iron alone, right?!
You think so too?
Lan Zhan, that brat!
That day, you guys all saw it.
Grandmaster Elder
revealed Stygian Iron to us both.
He went alone to seek it
and didn't take me! You be the judges.
Isn't he's too unreasonable?
- A-Xian. - Senior Sister.
What adorable rabbits.
- Why'd you sneak here? - Not your business.
As an upright man, it's unseemly to cuddle rabbits.
That's right! A manly man like me...
cuddling a rabbit.
- How's it unseemly?! - What are you doing?
Little rabbit.
Why'd you keep these little ones?
Is it possible...you want to eat them?!
Jiang Cheng, what did you say?
Little rabbit can't hear that.
I just accidentally found them.
Pets are forbidden. Where'd you find them?
None of your business.
Senior Sister, if you like,
take one back.
If we take one,
aren't we separating it from its family?
Then can it be happy in Yunmeng?
That's right.
Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back.
Okay.
Little rabbit, I'm leaving.
Let's go.
Wait for me.
We'll meet again.
Childe Wen, since you're here, come in.
Leader Lan, what good hearing.
Childe Wen, why'd you come here so late?
Wen Qing told us Lan Sect rear mountain is guarded.
Are you hiding treasures?
Rear mountain is our ancestors' burial ground.
We guard them from disturbance.
In that case, I should pay respects to your ancestors.
Would you let me take a look?
Childe Wen.
Please leave.
Lan Xichen, don't think I can do nothing due to your high spiritual power.
I may be incapable of action now.
But don't forget—
Lan Wangji went alone down the mountain today.
Lan Xichen, hand over the Shard quickly
and we'll let Lan Sect live.
Wangji, you must be careful.
( I'm going night-hunting )
Wei Wuxian, you scoundrel.
He left with no goodbye.
What's wrong?
Dad, look.
Dad, I'll go and fetch him.
No need.
We'll head to Yunmeng first.
Why? We'll just leave him alone?
Don't fret. A-Xian knows what he's doing.
He left with no goodbye. It must be urgent.
What's his urgency?
Get ready. Let's leave.
Lan Zhan.
Pathetic.
Lan Zhan, why be like this?
We said we'd share this duty.
How could you leave me behind?
Are you afraid I'll steal your credit for punishing evil?
Who knew Lan Sect
would be so petty.
Boring.
Get it right. Who's the boring one?
Lan Zhan, wait for me.
Lan Zhan.
I created this talisman.
It keeps you within 4 metres.
Well? Is it fun?
What should I call it?
Is 'Comrade' good...or 'Wife' good? (same-sex wordplay)
I think neither is good.
How about calling it...?
Lame.
Lan Zhan, wait for me.
Stygian Iron activated.
Did it sense anything?
Another Shard may be near.
You mean here?
What?
Nothing.
[ Tanzhou ]
Lan Zhan.
You got startled.
Wei Wuxian.
Nie Huaisang, it's you.
On hearing your laugh,
I knew it was you.
Bro Nie.
Didn't you tell your Sect leader you'd go to Qinghe after study?
Bro Wei, you too.
Shouldn't you have gone to Lotus Pier with your Sect Leader.
- You're incorrigible! - You're incorrigible!
This...
Don't get nervous.
Talk on the way.
[ Lotus Pier ]
A-Cheng.
Be careful.
Bro Wei, why are you with Second Childe Lan?
Aren't you two incompatible?
Long story.
Oh, I know. Must be punishment. What rules did you break?
We get on well now.
What's it say?
Stop pushing.
- What's there? - Let's look.
Let's go.
Lan Zhan, aren't you going?
Crowded. Not going.
It's not crowded. Come look with us.
Let's go. Go!
Sir, what are you doing? What's going on?
Childe, you don't know? It's an invitation.
The reclusive Flower Maiden
invited Cultivators
to her mansion to recite poems.
Any elegant, talented Cultivator
will receive Flower Maiden's personal attention.
Annual Flower Maiden?
I read her story, "The Spirit of Flower Maiden".
'In a Tanzhou garden lives Flower Maiden;
recite her poems under moon, receive a flower boon—
three years unwilting, fragrance ever lingering.'
Brother Nie, you're amazing.
You can't recall one word of Old Lan's homework.
Yet such anecdotes
come straight to you.
Brother Wei, you too.
So pretty!
Bro Wei, look.
Second Childe Lan actually is magnificent—
such an elegant gentleman.
Actually is...
funereal.
Stygian Iron?
Looks like we're one step behind.
Dire Owl?
- Wen Chao. - Wen Chao came here?
[ Annual Flower Garden ]
So that's how.
Stygian Iron corrupted the peony flowers
and the Maiden was a captive.
A fake one invited Cultivators
in order to find other Shards?
Twice right.
Bro Wei, is Stygian Iron so powerful?
Of course. How about Childe Lan shows you his piece?
No, no, no need.
Brother Wei.
Isn't it perilous for us to have this piece?
Not this 'us'.
It's me and him.
- Bro Wei... - Us.
Come to Qinghe with me.
The trip is so risky. I—
Bro Wei! Bro Wei!
Dire Owl.
It again.
Let's hurry.
Bro Wei, are you coming to Qinghe?!
Bro Wei, wait for me!
Childe, Immortal Chief sent word— Yueyang has had no action in days.
We're to rush to Yueyang to assist Xue Yang.
Assist?
Who's Xue Yang to be worthy of my assistance?
- I just pass orders. - Stop dissembling.
Think I don't know
you don't want me to bother Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.
What? You're attached to them after studies?
I warn you. Don't threaten me with Immortal Chief.
If I get Lan Zhan's Shard, to go with Flower Maiden's piece,
I'll gain merit for Chief.
Xue Yang with one Shard can't match me!
Your arrival reminded me.
Dafan Mountain...
It's your birth place, right?
- What do you want? - I want nothing.
But Wei Wuxian will pass there on the way to Qinghe.
Immortal Chief promised not to harm my Clan anymore.
Don't fret. If you behave, no-one will be harmed.
I'll visit that soul-eating monster.
Wow, this tastes good.
Here, let's eat.
Lady Wen Qing.
The wine is spilling.
Waiter, any rooms? Get me one.
Alright.
Lady Wen, why are you here?
- Sit. - Waiter, two buns.
- Okay, wait. - Waiter. Two buns.
- Alright. Wait a bit. - Waiter. One jar of pear wine.
Yes, yes, wait a moment?
Waiter. We want pear wine too.
Alright.
Waiter. Hurry.
Get ours first.
Customer, this is...
Waiter, them first.
We don't want it now. Skip it.
What are you doing? Mocking me?
If Qishan Wen Sect mocks you, so what?
Stop there.
Mt Dafan. Wei Wuxian is in peril.
Thank you.
Hold back!
Dancing Goddess has come to take our souls.
Look, an old lady. Let's ask her.
Maybe she'd let us stay a night.
Dancing Goddess has come for our souls.
Granny. ( Granny Wen )
We're passing through, with nowhere to stay. Could we stay with you a night?
Granny.
Granny! We want a place here to sleep!
Sleep! Understand what sleep is?
Sleep!
Granny.
Granny!
Let's go.
What is it?
I'm unsure. I just think this place
feels strange.
Granny!
Granny.
The Goddess brings destruction,
consuming souls...
What is she saying?
Something about a goddess bringing disaster.
Soul-eating?!
Taking souls. Taking souls.
She's Dancing Goddess?
Isn't it an ordinary statue? Besides an ugly smile, it's nothing special.
Can it really snatch souls?
In regard to soul-eating, no-one has seen it.
W-who are you? When did you come?
I was always here. I should ask whom you are.
Old man, we're on our way to Qinghe. We'd like to stay overnight.
Since you're passing by, leave quickly.
Old man, when was this Goddess Statue erected?
Dancing Goddess was originally a spiritual wonder stone.
We don't know why it slowly developed into this form.
People have long worshipped it.
No-one expected that, 20 years ago,
Dancing Goddess would start to cause trouble,
absorbing people's souls.
Though it was sealed by Clan Leader,
it had killed too many people and this place became desolate.
Clan Leader?
Old man, who's that Clan Leader?
I'm old. I can't remember.
[ Wen Clan Memorial Tablet ]
Old man. It was Qishan Wen Clan?
If I say I don't remember, I don't.
Don't you want a place to rest?
Then sleep here.
Maybe you'll understand then.
Bro Wei, I feel uneasy.
This Goddess's smile scares me.
Do you think she really eats souls?
Don't worry, even if it is a deity, I..
It's cold at night. Light a fire.
With fire, no fears.
Thanks, Granny.
[ Goddess Temple ]
What's wrong?
I-I had a nightmare. We...we...
Why's she suddenly alive?!
This is a soul-eating Goddess?
Lan Zhan!
Lan Zhan, is she attracted to you?
Shut up.
She's sealed?
- What now? - What else? Go!
Remain cautious.
Thank heaven. It's great you're with us.
What's wrong? What's outside?
Many puppets are coming for us.
How'd their souls get snatched?
Why are there so many?
There's no soul-eating goddess. It was all lies.
All gods and Immortals, save me!
Lan Zhan!
Dire Owl.
That damn bird again.
Did we fall into a trap?
~Listen to the lonely, disconsolate flute~
~In endless night deep in cloud~
~Right or wrong is in the past~
~On waking, how can I take it as a dream~
~How to measure praise and blame, gains and losses, in this world~
~Blood whistles hot on cold blade~
~On peaks or rivers, hear the guqin~
~The story isn't over, like buds under moonlit frost~
~Stir a cup of life's joy and sorrow to toast the lad~
~Why's the bright moon still listless~
~Why not face all hardships carefree~
~Sharing a melody however far away~
~Stir a cup of life's joy and sorrow to toast the lad~
~Moon is bright, why be sad~
~Why not face all storms unrestrained~
~Playing a melody together afar~
