Episode 34
Fairy!
Lan Zhan, save me!
Luckily you're in time.
Morals are worsening more. Big clans' disciples are terrible.
Brother, thanks for just now.
These are a gift. Sell them
at 3 for one coin at a profit.
What's this 'thank you'?
As thanks, draw him prettier.
S-s-sure. Whatever you say, these are yours.
Don't go. I have a question.
While doing business here,
have you heard of odd events or seen odd things?
You're right to ask me.
I've been here for years. People call me Qinghe's Mr Know-it-all.
What sort of odd things are you looking for?
Like haunting by evil spirits, dismembered corpses,
massacres of whole clans.
Not here. But 5 kilometres on,
there's a place, Xinglu Ridge. I advise you not to go.
Why's that?
It's known as Man-Eating Ridge.
Why do you think?
There's a man-eating monster?
Come, come.
There's a Man-Eating Castle.
Monsters there feed on humans who intrude,
leaving no bones.
No remains were found, no exception.
Scary, right?
I'm so scared.
But if they were devoured with no remains,
how'd you know they were eaten?
Well, someone must've seen it.
But you said intruders were eaten with no remains,
no exceptions. So which mighty person
lived to tell the tale after going in?
Well, legend says so. I'm unsure.
Then, how many people were eaten in Xinglu Ridge? When?
Their ages, genders, names, where they lived?
I don't know.
Qinghe's know-it-all?
Hey! No, no, no. Don't go.
I've something else to ask.
Is Xinglu Ridge in Qinghe?
Isn’t Qinghe in Nie Sect area?
If Xinglu Ridge truly has monsters,
why's Nie Sect ignoring it?
Nie Sect? If it was in the past,
it won’t be ignored.
By the second day of the news,
Nie Sect would've attended to it immediately.
But now, isn’t Nie Sect Leader that Mr. I-Don't-Know?
I don't know. I don't know.
I really don't know.
Don't...don't ask me.
I really know nothing.
What can he do?
Mr I-Don't-Know?
I can't believe Bro Huaisang is Nie Sect leader.
He's even nicknamed 'Mr. I-Don't-Know'.
How can mighty Red Blade Lord
die inexplicably?
I never saw it.
He qi-deviated and dropped dead.
Dog! Dog, dog, dog!
Wei Ying, no dog.
Don't look at me like that.
Why do you fear dogs?
Don't ask me why.
Lan Zhan!
I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
I...I once lived on the streets.
I fought with dogs for food.
Luckily Uncle Jiang took me to Lotus Pier.
But Jiang Cheng had to send away his pups, Beauty,
Jasmine and whatsit.
Now it's Jin Ling's turn.
They're family indeed.
Like Jiang Cheng, he hates me.
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Th-th-this time I'm not mistaken?
Still far off. Why hide?
Doesn't matter. H-h-hide.
It is Jin Ling's spiritual dog. If it barks, something happened.
L-l-l-l-let's take a look.
L-light-bearer, move. If you don't, how can I move?
First, let go.
There's a Maze Array here set by a human.
Seems rumours about Xinglu Ridge are not hearsay.
Lan Zhan, look.
Why hear barking
but see no dog?
A spiritual dog cannot pass wards.
It may be stuck outside the maze.
And Jin Ling? Could he be outside the maze?
If Jin Ling is outside, the dog will not fuss.
Makes sense.
But how do we get in?
Lan Zhan, wait for me.
Jin Ling must've broken the stone, then had a mishap.
Let's go.
What's up?
So noisy.
Spirits are around.
( Wind-Evil Compass )
Jin Ling.
[ Hall of Sabres ]
Jin Ling.
Jin Ling!
Not right. Why are there sabres?
( 'Inquiry' )
Ask a spirit?
It's here.
Then ask it for me what this place is, what is it for, and who built it.
What did it say?
Do not know.
It said "do not know".
Pretty good, Lan Zhan.
Now you can make me speechless.
This time I know.
It said "do not know", right?
What did you ask?
How it died.
But if someone sneakily killed it, it won't know how.
Lan Zhan, how about asking it who killed it?
A confined spirit doesn't know, first, where it is;
second, how it died;
third, who killed it.
It's the first time I've seen a spirit like this.
Lan Zhan.
Could it be Nie Huaisang?!
Joking. Ignore it.
Lan Zhan, try asking its gender?
No way it can't know.
Male.
Finally an answer.
Lan Zhan, ask if a 16 year old youth
is here?
There is.
Where is he now?
He said "right here".
You mean, in this stone castle.
But just now, we searched thoroughly
yet saw no-one.
Lan Zhan, he lied?
I am here. He cannot.
What did you ask?
How old? Where from?
So?
Sixteen. From Lanling.
It is Jin Ling.
Jin Ling. Jin Ling.
Jin Ling!
Lan Zhan, where is he?
Stand there, face southwest.
Listen to the strings. On each note, one step forward.
When the guqin stops, he is in front of you.
Is he in the wall?
Jin Ling.
Jin Ling! Jin Ling!
Lan Zhan, look.
Above.
Below.
Southeast, Northwest.
Standing. Sitting.
Lying. Crouching.
What is this place?
Jin Ling!
Lan Zhan, we can't stay long.
Outside the castle.
Let's go out.
Lan Zhan, go in pursuit.
I will. You and Jin Ling...
I'll take him down the ridge and find a place.
Right, there's an inn where we met that quack. I'll wait.
Go in pursuit! They're out of sight.
I'll be there.
Lan Zhan, be careful.
Looks small but is quite tough.
Curse Mark. Who cursed him?
Or was it from the Castle?
Luckily it didn't reach the chest.
What are you doing? Why undress me?
Where's my sword? And dog?
Why so nervous?
It took effort to dig you out. You haven't thanked me.
If not for that, you'd be dead.
Don't. Listen.
Dying once is enough.
Listen to me. Drop your sword.
Jin Ling, this jade pendant..
My mom left this. Don't touch it.
A-Xian.
This is what I found later in my dad's study.
I believe it's for you. Take it.
What are you doing? Why run away? Jin Ling!
Impudent.
Impudent brat.
I scolded you; you ran.
Are you a Young Miss? Bad tempered.
Oh no. Jiang Cheng!
I'm back; nothing's wrong. Don't nag.
Nothing? Look.
You rolled in dirt. Nothing?
You're in sect robes. Shameful! Change when we get back.
Tell me. Who'd you run into?
I ran into nothing.
I tripped and ran in vain.
Don't grab me. I'm not 3 years old.
Think I can't discipline you? When you're 30, I'll still grab you.
If you run off again, telling no-one, I'll whip you!
I don't want help or orders so I went alone.
Anyway, Jiang Cheng rightly criticised his missish temper.
So what did you catch?
Where’s the spiritual dog your uncle gave you?
Lan Zhan probably chased it away to some place.
You, you, you, please don't!
Want to take that off
or want a Zidian whipping?
You...have nothing to say to me?
I don't know what to say to you.
You didn't repent a bit.
You made no progress.
Fine. Then let's see
which of us made no progress.
Senior Sister, send it away.
Senior Sister!
Who did you call?
You dare mention her to me.
Right, Yiling Patriarch was never shy
about being close to one decent clan person.
16 years. Lan Wanji still shields you.
But maybe it's not "you" he defends.
All your actions with Wen Ning
won't be forgotten by Lan Sect.
How can a righteous man whose integrity is praised
tolerate you?
Who knows what dirty deals he had with your saviour?
Jiang Cheng, watch your words.
I never cared to do so. You forgot?
Got that right.
You tell me to watch my words.
That day on Mt Dafan,
did you watch your words to Jin Ling?
Really a kid with no mom to teach you manners.
"Really a kid with no mom to teach you manners."
Good cursing. True abuse.
Jin Ling gets picked on for that all due to you.
You're an old man who forgot
things and vows you said.
But don't forget how his parents died!
I didn't. I just...
What?
I just...
Can't spit it out?
Fine. You'll go to Lotus Pier, kneel to my parents, and talk.
I dream of return to Lotus Pier.
What did you mumble?
Nothing.
Where is he?
Who?
Wen Ning. Where is he?
I don't know.
Don't know where your dog is?
Think I buy that?
Believe it or not,
I really don't know where he is.
Fine.
That day on Mt Dafan, people saw you with him.
Jiang Cheng, after so long,
you still hate him?
Wei Wuxian, you ask me that.
Think I hate him? If not for him,
would Jin Zixuan have died?
Would my sister have died? It was due to you!
How did Jiang Sect err to earn your revenge?
Jiang Cheng, don't be rash.
Haven't you pondered why Wen Ning lived until now?
Uncle! Uncle!
I said stay put. Why come?
I've news.
What? You clammed up when I yelled. Why now?
It's because you scolded me.
Want to hear? Or I'll go.
Say it, then scram.
I did run into trouble today.
I think I saw Wen Ning.
When? Where?
This afternoon.
There's a hovel about a dozen miles south.
I went on hearing it was a strange place.
- Didn't expect someone. - Say so earlier!
I wasn't sure.
The guy moved so fast,
I saw a blur.
But I heard the chain noises he made on Mt Dafan,
so I guessed it's him.
If you hadn't yelled at me,
I'd have told you on returning.
If you can’t catch him,
blame your temper, not me.
Talk later. Scram!
Okay.
On reviving, you avoided Lotus Pier
and sought Jin Zixuan's killer.
He is a dead puppet. I died once.
What else do you want?
What else?
I tell you,
if you two die hundreds or thousands of times,
my hatred will persist!
Jin Clan didn't end him back then.
Very good.
I'll catch him today,
burn him and throw his ashes
in your face!
Sect Leader.
- Uncle. - Watch that guy.
Don’t trust or heed his words!
No sound. If he whistles or plays flute, gag him.
I know, I know. I can guard him.
Be vigilant. If he disappears,
I’ll break your leg!
You guys, follow me!
Aye.
You two, guard the door.
You two, watch the stairs.
Aye.
I'll go in to see him.
Let's go.
Dog! Dog! D-d-dog!
Dog! Dog!
So helpless.
Fairy never bites.
Think he's ordinary?
W-wait. What did you call him?
Fairy. That's his name.
You named a dog that?
What’s wrong with his name?
As a pup, he was Little Fairy. Now he's grown, I can’t use that.
It's not whether he's big or little.
It's the naming style.
You learned it from Jiang Cheng?
True men ignore trifles. Why stress over details?
Now you offended Uncle, you're half-way to death.
I let you go.
We’re even.
Jin Ling. Know why your uncle captured me?
I know. He thinks you're Wei Wuxian.
And you? Don’t you suspect it?
Unce never let anyone go even if he made a mistake.
As Zidian can’t extract your soul,
I trust you’re not him.
I don't care who you are, but...
What?
If you don a mask, don't wear Mo Xuanyu's.
He himself...
even pestered…no, no.
Anyway, we're even. Get going.
Not gone yet? Waiting for Uncle to catch you?
I tell you.
Though you saved me, I won't thank you.
Don't expect cringey words.
Young man, in one's life,
two cringey phrases must be said.
Which two?
‘Thank you’; ‘I’m sorry’.
I won't say it. What can you do?
Someday, you’ll say it crying.
Jin Ling. I'm sorry.
For what?
At Mount Dafan,
for what I said, I'm sorry.
It's nothing. You're not the first to say it.
True! I had no mother.
It won't make me inferior.
I'll make everyone see
I'm stronger than them.
Jiang Cheng, I can explain! I...
I can't erase this Curse Mark
but can transfer it to my body.
Cloud Recesses bans liquor but said nothing about this.
Tastes as good as Emperor's Smile.
Here, for you.
