The Untamed
This sword sees you as Childe Wei.
How's it see me as Wei Wuxian?
How can it? Why me?
Because in your body now,
the revolving Golden Core
is his.
Episode 47
Does your clan have an affable, adaptable lady Cultivator
who won't mind a puppet?
What for?
Nothing. It's just that Wen Ning isn't a kid.
- I mean... - Childe!
Wen Ning can't keep following me.
He's not my servant. Besides...
After this matter is over,
he really can't follow me.
His following like this isn't fitting for him.
As his friend, I should find him a good home.
Light-bearer, what do you think?
At least, he should have a couple of friends.
Lan Zhan, I think your clan's Sizhui is suitable.
Okay, kiddies, stop fooling.
Wen Ning, the street is a bother.
Rest at the inn.
- Lan Zhan and I will go look. - But—
Relax. There'll be no problems.
Lan Zhan, wait for me.
Scented sachets. Come look.
Scented sachets.
Sir, come see.
[ Temple of Guanyin - Goddess of Mercy ]
Jin Guangyao's property is a Guanyin temple.
[ Hall of Guanyin ]
Well?
An Array! Suppressing something.
I knew Jin Guangyao wouldn't casually put a deed in his secret room.
Is this Array hard to break?
Not easy. Wait till less busy evening to break it.
Let's leave to avoid notice.
Thanks. Without your medicine, my hubby won't heal so fast.
- Granny, don’t come tomorrow. - Why?
Our temple closes for three days.
Master, I heard of the closure.
Did something happen?
Thanks for your concern. All is fine.
It's just that the tiles and decor are old
and need repair.
Oh, I see.
Oh right, Master, most temples are in mountains.
Temples in cities are rare.
City people bustle.
Won’t they need a temple to pray for blessings
and inner peace.
But won't the bustle disturb Goddess of Mercy?
She saves all from torment. How's she disturbed?
You're right.
So this temple only worships Guanyin?
Correct.
Master sure is talented.
Not ordained, yet knows doctrine.
There's a ward.
Enter by the courtyard.
Wen Ning, stand guard.
If Lan Zhan and I don't come out, find Jiang Cheng. Got it?
Childe.
It's just in case.
I'm half-wrecked,
yet there's Light-bearer.
Fairy, shut up!
It's late at night. Wanna wake the street?
Fairy!
Lord Zewu.
Fairy!
Stop or I'll cook you!
Why here!
Why's Jin Ling here?
Wen Ning didn't block him?
Why take me here?
Anyone there?
Open up!
Don't hurt him.
Hey! Anyone there?
Fairy! Why'd you run back?
Little brat, follow the dog, I beg you.
Jin Ling, run!
I advise Childe Wei not to whistle.
A broken flute is fine.
Losing a finger or tongue would be tragic.
You make a lot of sense.
Please.
Light-bearer, watch your actions.
Wangji.
Brother.
I'm ashamed I was lured
into a trap and lost my spiritual energy.
My sword, Shuoyue, and Liebing flute are useless.
No need for shame.
Lying is Fragrance Lord's forte.
Childe Wei, I underestimated you.
I haven't asked yet. How'd you know of this place?
Don't tell me sightseeing with Light-bearer
brought you by chance.
Fragrance Lord, you forgot your secret room
hid a big land deed?
It was with Red Blade Lord's head.
You don't recall?
I was careless not to separate them.
Anyway, we're at your mercy.
So could you satisfy my curiosity?
What treasure is being suppressed in this temple?
Your curiosity has a big price.
Sure you want to know?
What big—
Uncle Jin.
How are you, A-Ling.
What's up with this kid?
Why run here late at night?
Not your business.
That spiritual dog is fierce
and bites. Sorry, it got away.
Chase and kill it.
It's smart and may alert people.
Aye.
Uncle. You gave me Fairy.
You'll really kill him?
A-Ling, why are you here?
Leader Jin, A-Ling is a child.
I know.
And your nephew.
Second Bro, what are you thinking?
I know he's a kid and my nephew.
You think I'd do what?
Kill him?
A-Ling, hear that?
If you run away or shout,
I may do something scary to you.
It's up to you.
Not dug up yet?
Get them to speed up.
Aye.
What's he digging up?
Tunnel. Tiger Seal. The suppressed thing.
Close. So close.
I can see a good show like in the past.
Back then, you two— Yiling Patriarch,
and a righteous paragon—
were a sight for the times.
But you ended up contending.
Isn't today the same?
Light-bearer, lower Bichen.
You really want Childe Wei to die?
Lan Zhan, don't heed him.
I've never blamed you.
Lan Zhan, go now and get backup.
This is great!
Next step, please sheathe Bichen.
Lan Zhan, don't!
Jin Guangyao, don't go too far.
You call this too far?
Then next, I want Light-bearer to seal off his spiritual power.
- What's this called? - You—
Lan Zhan.
Lord Zewu.
It's going to rain. Shelter inside.
Don't worry. If you all behave,
I'll do nothing to you.
Lan Zhan, no need to do that.
That year...
You don't owe me anything.
I did not think I owed you.
So why just do that?
It should be done.
Who's there?
Leader, it's me.
Enter.
( Su She — sword Nanping/Turbulence )
What happened?
I ran into him. He can be of use so I caught him.
You hurt him?
No. He fainted in fear.
Minshan, don't be hard on him.
He can't take frights or hits.
Yes.
Why did you seize Huaisang?
With another sect leader here,
others will be more cautious.
But, Second Bro, don't worry.
You know how I’ve always been towards Huaisang.
When time comes, I’ll let you two leave without harm.
Should I trust you?
It’s up to you. Trust me or not,
you don't have a choice.
Light-bearer. Yiling Patriarch.
Who imagined we'd meet again so soon.
And the situation is reversed.
So, how's it feel?
How's it reversed?
You fled in defeat at Burial Mound.
And now Leader Jin
is rushing to dig. Isn't he fleeing?
In this situation,
Light-bearer keeps his calm, collected look.
I'll see how long he can keep it up.
Leader Su.
When you were in Lan Clan,
we never treated you badly.
Why do you attack Wangji?
Dare I attack Childe Lan, so talented since young?
I can’t bear seeing him think he's a big deal.
Has Lan Zhan ever said he thinks he’s a big deal?
If I recall correctly, don't Lan Sect rules
forbid arrogance?
How do you know Lan Sect rules?
- I copied them often. - Why did you?
Did I want to? I was...being punished.
- Shameful. - You!
Leader Su.
Lan Zhan had an icy face since young,
so you see him that way?
If so, Lan Zhan is unluckily misunderstood.
He's obviously cold to everyone.
Leader Su.
You should be glad
you didn’t study at Jiang Sect.
Why?
Or I'd have angered you to death.
When young, I believed I was a prodigy.
And I flaunted it everywhere.
Shut up!
Leader Su, best not hurt us.
Fragrance Lord is still respectful to Lord Zewu.
If you hurt Light-bearer,
think Fragrance Lord would be happy?
Never thought
legendary Yiling Patriarch, feared by living and dead,
fears to die!
You flatter me. I’m not scared to die.
I just don't want to die.
Word play. What a joke.
How's "not scared" differ from "don't want".
Sure it differs.
I care for my life, not gain or loss.
Care to live: don't want to die. No care for gain or loss: unafraid to die.
Get it now?
So glib tongued.
Fine, you don't fear death.
I'll fulfil your wishes!
Who is it?
Uncle!
You wish! Now you call!
Why'd you run off?
- Lan Zhan! - Fairy!
Fairy, bite him!
Bite him! Go bite him!
Bite him, Fairy!
Fairy, bite him!
Leader Jiang, beware the music.
Lan Zhan, what to do?
Leader Jiang, your power strike defeated my move.
How'd you find this place?
Because A-Ling ran off,
you chased him?
Fairy must have led you.
The dog I gave him disregards me.
He's really the same as Xue Yang.
Leader Jiang, what's wrong?
Since you got here, your eyes avoid that direction.
Is anything over there?
You're Immortal Chief.
Fight if you want. Why the chit-chat?
Still avoiding? There's nothing there.
Except your Senior Brother.
You really came here for A-Ling?
Why else? Who else would it be?
Leader Jiang. Don't answer him.
He's good with words.
Once you talk to him, he'll divert your attention
and sway your emotions.
Second Bro, you know me well.
Childe Wei, you see?
Your Junior Bro isn't here for you.
He won't even look at you.
Leader Jin, your words are weird.
It's not his first day doing that.
Do I need you to remind me?
Leader Jiang, see.
Being your Senior Bro is hard.
Leader Jin, being your sworn Brother is harder.
Leader Jiang, I heard yesterday you threw a tantrum at Lotus Pier.
You ran around with Yiling Patriarch's sword,
crazily telling everyone to draw it out.
My sword?
Didn't I give Suibian to Wen Ning?
No, he did't carry it today.
How'd it end up with Jiang Cheng? Why'd he tell others to draw it?
Did he draw it out?
Wei Ying, calm down.
I heard no-one can draw that sword.
Yet you drew it out.
That's strange.
16 years ago, when I collected that sword, it sealed itself.
Except for Yiling Patriarch,
no-one could unsheathe it.
Shut up!
Then I remembered. Childe Wei back then was so wilful.
He never carried his sword.
He always had an excuse.
I found that peculiar.
What do you think?
What are you saying?
Leader Jiang, you're extraordinary.
The youngest Sect Leader rebuilt Jiang Sect.
I admire that.
But I recall you once couldn't beat Childe Wei in anything.
Can you tell me
how you rose above him after Sunshot?
Did you take a 'golden' elixir?
Uncle, be careful!
Uncle!
Don't move. Help him sit.
Get off!
Fairy, run! They'll kill you.
- Leader. - Didn't kill it?
Sorry. This dog is spineless.
Defending someone, it's wild. Defending itself, it runs away.
Leader, we got it! A corner is out!
Dig it out fast!
Aye.
Be careful.
Uncle, it's good you stopped that guqin
or things would be bad.
Shut up.
You knew?
Wen Ning...told you when?
After you blacked out.
That's how we left Lotus Pier?
He felt sorry for you.
I told him so often not to say it!
Not say what?

~On waking, how can I take it as a dream~
