The Untamed
Episode 18
You know Jiang Cheng.
He's too eager to be first, too focused on gains and losses.
Cultivation is his life.
If he can be no more than an average person,
his life is over.
What about you?
Older Sister.
I give you a 'one in two' chance.
Half is fine. Half-half.
Great! Childe Jiang can be saved.
Thank you.
There's no rabbit but chicken is fine.
Song Lan.
What happened to his eyes?!
Why is he here?
Let me do it. Go and rest.
I'm fine. Has he awoken?
Mm, he has. Lady Wen is examining his injuries.
Is he okay?
He's fine. However...
It's nothing. He'll recover in a few days.
Brother Song, drink medicine.
Childe Wei.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
I want to ask how you came here and who injured you.
After separating from you,
I travelled around with Xingchen.
A few months ago, on my Teacher's birthday,
I rushed to White Snow Temple to pass him best wishes.
I never imagined,
on reaching White Snow Temple...
Teacher! Teacher!
Teacher!
Be careful of...
Be careful of whom?
Xue Yang.
Song Lan, tell Xiao Xingchen
this is his big gift.
He wiped out White Snow Temple,
tormented Teacher for ten days,
and hid on the roof waiting to attack me as I was distraught.
Xue Yang did this to take revenge on Xiao Xingcheng!
And then?
And then I was in a daze.
Oh right. In my daze, Xingchen seemed present.
He told me
he was taking me to his Teacher, Baoshan Wanderer,
who'd heal my eyes.
Baoshan Wanderer?
The reclusive Cultivator rumoured
to revive the dead?
Exactly. He took me to Yiling.
After that, I don't know what happened.
And then I met Childe Wei.
How about Baoshan Wanderer? Is she here?
Let Brother Song rest.
But—
Baoshan is my Grandmaster.
How could I not know where she is?
You mean, Baoshan Elder is—
Yes, Senior Sister. Jiang Cheng can be saved.
You're awake? Then come and eat.
Jiang Cheng, you really want to die?
Alive, I can't get revenge.
I'm better off dead.
Maybe I'll become a fierce corpse.
You've had soul-calming rites since childhood.
If you die, you can't become a fierce corpse.
If I get no revenge dead or alive,
what difference is living or dying?
But, if you don't replenish your strength,
how will you regain your Golden Core?
Yes. Don't doubt it.
You didn't mishear. I exactly said,
"Regain your Golden Core".
You have a way?
Yes, I have a way.
You should know
my mom, Cangse Wanderer, was Baoshan Wanderer's disciple.
Who's Baoshan Wanderer?
A Cultivator who's lived for centuries,
who can revive the dead.
You mean...you mean...
I mean I've a way.
I also know the mountain "Baoshan" refers to.
In other words,
I can take you to Baoshan Wanderer.
But...
But you didn't recall things from when you were little.
I didn't forget everything.
Some memory fragments came to me sporadically.
I remember a woman's voice repeating things to me
about a place.
The voice said, if I'm in dire straits in the future,
to go up the mountain and beg the Immortal there for help.
- You mean... - Sit!
- I... - You what?
- Eat. - But...
Eat, or else I won't tell you.
This is for you.
Eat first.
In a few days, I'll take you.
Today!
Tomorrow.
I haven't told Senior Sister yet. She can't come with us.
What worries you? A centuries old Immortal won't disappear.
Besides, there are taboos.
I'll tell you. Or else, if you break a taboo
and anger Grandmaster, we're both done for.
Remember— climbing the mountain, you can't untie the blindfold to gawk
or view the scenery or look at someone's face.
Also, do as they ask. Don't question.
Okay.
Most importantly, if they ask who you are,
you must say you're Cangse Wanderer's son.
You can't reveal your identity.
Okay.
Other than this, you can tell the truth
about your injuries, and who hurt you.
Okay.
This can't be known by anyone but you and me.
You can't tell Senior Sister or she'll follow us.
Okay.
No matter what I say, you're replying "Okay"?
Eat.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Oh, how is sister?
Senior Sister is fine.
She's probably picking herbs with Wen Ning.
She feels restless if she's idle.
In terms of annoying others, she doesn't lose to Jiang Cheng.
Actually I came to tell you Bro Song's eyes are healing fast.
He'll have full sight soon.
Then he will leave quickly.
I already broke rules, hosting people Wen Sect is pursuing.
One more won't matter.
That's right.
Oh yeah, I asked Brother Song to take Senior Sister
to Lanling Jin Clan and Lan Zhan.
Wen Qing, give me a calming incense,
to make someone sleep for a day.
Thanks.
What if he finds out? What will you do?
No 'what if'. He will never know.
No 'what if'?
You can hide it from him now, but not all his life.
Wen Qing, if it had been Wen Ning,
I think you'd do as I have.
You'd choose likewise.
Senior Sister!
A-Xian.
Senior Sister.
Senior Sister, I brought—
A-Cheng just fell asleep. Don't be loud.
He slept enough.
A-Xian.
Can I speak like this?
Talk there. Let's go.
You sleep poorly.
I asked Wen Qing for incense.
It calms minds to help sleep.
A-Xian, I missed you all afternoon.
Where did you go?
Did you eat?
Wait. Senior Sister, this smell...
Indeed it's Lotus Pork Soup.
I saved you a bowl.
Still, it's not Yunmeng so it tastes a little different.
You taste it.
Smells good.
Senior Sister, do you remember
first giving me Lotus Pork Soup?
I remember.
That's when Father just brought you to Jiang Sect.
That's right.
That was my first time at Lotus Pier. I was terrified.
Especially of Jiang Cheng's dogs.
Senior Sister, it seems Jiang Cheng was tetchy since young.
I'm furious!
Why?! Why?!
Why?!
Why send away my dogs?
Why?!
I'm furious!
Why?!!
Why?
I'm furious! Why?
A-Xian. Don't be afraid.
A-Cheng is a good kid.
He'll be fine in a few days.
I'm sorry, Uncle Jiang. I caused you trouble.
A-Xian, at Lotus Pier,
you needn't apologize for things you didn't do wrong. Remember, okay?
Bro! Bro! Let me in! I want to sleep!
Who's your Bro? Return my Beauty, Jasmine and Lovie!
Why's it because you're afraid!
They're my dogs. My home! Mine!
Why can you live here?
Scram! If I see you again,
I'll call dogs to bite you.
I'll go... Don't call dogs.
Leave now!
A-Xian!
Wei Wuxian!
A-Xian!
Wei Wuxian!
A-Xian, why are you in that tree?
I see you.
Your shoe fell down.
- My shoe! - Get down. Let's go home.
No, I won't. There are dogs!
There are no dogs. A-Cheng tricked you.
How long were you up there?
Your arms will get tired. Hurry down.
You leave. I won't fall down.
A-Xian!
It hurts a lot.
My leg's broken.
It's not broken.
- It hurts! - Don't move. I'll piggyback you.
Are dogs coming?
No. I'd shoo them.
It hurts a lot.
Here.
Your shoes don't fit.
No, they fit well.
It's too big.
This is my first gift from Uncle Jiang.
It's fine. I'll swap them.
You needn't trouble yourself.
A-Xian, whatever A-Cheng said to you, ignore it.
He has a bad temper.
He usually plays alone at home.
He really adored those dogs.
Now Dad sent the dogs away, he's really sad.
Though he didn't say it, he's happy to have a playmate.
You've been gone half a day. He feared you met trouble.
He anxiously woke me.
That's why I came looking, you know?
Who is it!
Sis.
A-Cheng?
Come.
A-Cheng. Don't cry.
Didn't I say to bring help?
Don't cry.
Got something to tell A-Xian?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
A-Cheng, bring back A-Xian's quilt, okay?
I already took it back.
Okay, come.
Go slowly.
What will I do with you two?
~ travel back in time to Lotus Pier ~
~ youthful figures shimmer on the green lake ~
~ time passes, my dream fades, everything is a glistening illusion ~
~ I wish to write to old friends missing me at Yunmeng ~
~ unappeased, I laugh and ask the blue sky ~
~ when I look back, years passed unknowingly ~
~ no goodbyes and partings, no cares and grief ~
~ still able to hear the sound 'A-Xian' ~
Don't worry. I won't tell on you to Uncle Jiang.
I only got hurt because I climbed a tree at night.
Don't worry. If we see dogs, I'll chase them away for you.
~ waking from my dream to late autumn ~
~ fireflies glimmering, moonlight dancing ~
Sister!
That's more like it.
This is my soup leftovers.
Eat it while it's hot.
My sister's Lotus Pork Soup is the best.
Come and eat.
Here. Have some.
This is yours.
Quickly eat!
~ no hatred and regrets, no death and destruction ~
~ my teardrops turn into words of understanding ~
~ unappeased, I laugh and ask the blue sky ~
That bowl of Lotus Pork Soup
is still in my memory.
A-Xian.
You, me, and A-Cheng,
we three...
we three must be together forever.
We'll never part.
Senior Sister.
The effect of this incense
is enough for Brother Song to take her away from Yiling.
Sister, after I regain my Golden Core,
I'll go to Lanling to get you.
Bro Song, after my sister wakes,
no matter what, take her to Lanling.
You can't let her come back.
I understand.
After Senior Sister wakes, she'll blame me for acting on my own.
I'm afraid she'll be mad at me for a long time.
When was she ever mad at you?
That's true.
Childe Wei, Childe Jiang, what's this for?
Brother Song.
I entrust my sister to you.
Be assured. My life is my guarantee. While I'm alive,
I'll ensure Lady Jiang gets to Lanling Jin Sect safely.
Oh right, Childe Wei.
If you see Xingcheng, can you pass on my words? Just say—
Never mind.
I'll take my leave.
Lady Wen, Childe Wen, farewell.
Let's go.
We must leave too.
Lady Wen, thanks for your hospitality and care.
Farewell.
Wen Qing, don't blame him. After Lotus Pier—
Don't explain.
If it was me, I'd behave worse.
You've really decided?
I never hesitated.
Sis.
Neither cherishes his own life.
Subjugate Wen Sect. Avenge Jiang Sect.
Jiang Sect tragedy
was the spark pushing Sects to repress Wen Sect.
The Three Big Sects allied. Kill!
It was called Sunshot Campaign.
[ Supervisory Office of Qinghe ]
( Wen Sect Flag )
This is it.
This really is
Baoshan Wanderer's abode?
It's definitely here.
Would I lie?
Let you be happy a few days, then let you down?
Okay, I won't go farther. You must go alone.
Alright. I'll wait for you in the town back there.
I got it.
Jiang Cheng!
This is your only chance. Don't be reckless next time.
Jiang Cheng, remember—
never ever open your eyes.
There are no beasts here.
Walk slowly. Even if you fall, don't untie the blindfold.
You can't be curious.
If they want to kill you, say you're Wei Wuxian.
You know how to answer their questions, right?
Childe, stop.
Pardon me. Is this where Baoshan Wanderer lives?
Who are you? Why'd you come?
I'm the son of Cangse Wanderer, Baoshan Wanderer's disciple—
Wei Ying, here to ask her help.
Cangse Wanderer left the mountain.
She's no longer Baoshan's disciple.
Childe, please leave.
I, Wei Ying, came to see Grandmaster Baoshan.
I hope Grandmaster can save me for my mother's sake.
Save you? Childe, how do you mean?
After my parents died, I was adopted by Jiang Sect Leader,
Jiang Fengmian, and became a Yumeng disciple.
Lately, Qishan Wen Sect caused chaos.
Many Sects were exterminated.
Yumeng Jiang Sect was wiped out.
Lotus Pier is ruined. Leader Jiang and Madam Yu were murdered.
And I, during an encounter,
had my Golden Core melted by Wen Zhuliu, and am now useless.
You say you're the son of Cangse Wanderer.
Then who's your father?
Sect Leader Jiang's servant, Wei Changze.
Your parents died when?
Ten years ago, in a night-hunt.
Was it Cangse Wanderer who told you this location?
Yes. Yes.
Fine. This is all fate. Get up.
Yes.
Hold the cloth. Follow.
Thanks, Immortal...
Childe, don't talk or look.
Sure.
