Episode 26
You don't dislike him now? So that means you like him?
Yes.
Older Sister, I think Zhang Yutang is a very nice guy.
Also, he's a righteous man and we are compatible. I want...
I want...just like you and your husband...
I want to be with him.
Why cover your face?
I'm shy.
He's a mortal. Are you sure you don't look down on him?
I know. Master Xu is also a mortal, but you both are so good together.
Older Sister, I'll learn to be good to Yutang.
I'll follow your lead.
My lady.
My lady, you're worried and perplexed. Is it all because of Xiao Qing?
The way I see it, a grown girl has a mind of her own. Brother Yutang's character is honest and nice and he cares about Xiao Qing.
We entrust Xiao Qing to him, there's nothing you need to worry about.
I'm not worrying about the affection between them.
But it's about a matter of life and death.
A matter of life and death? That serious?
Let me tell you the truth.
Even though Yutang may not care about Xiao Qing's identity. However, once they're married,
Xiao Qing's demonic poison can kill him immediately.
You don't know that back then, if without Guan Yin's guidance of placing my spirit pellet inside your body.
At this moment, we both would be separated by death.
Spirit pellet?
So this is not something fabricated by people. There's really such a thing.
All vegetation and fossil, birds and animals, absorb the spiritual aura of heaven and earth.
Those who have intelligence can cultivate themselves to become spirits. They transform what they have cultivated into spirit pellets.
From then on, they advance their cultivation to strengthen their whole being.
Then, my lady, you gave me your spirit pellet.
Wouldn't that make you lose the core of your strength? Are you not feeling well?
I already have a thousand years of cultivation. I can still bear the pain of losing the spirit pellet.
Even so, an adversity would eventually strike. Cultivation in seclusion is needed.
So that's what it is.
Xiao Qing is different. She only has five hundred years of cultivation.
If she loses her spirit pellet, she'll be back to her original form. I want to help them,
but I can't bear to see Yutang die of poisoning and I don't want Xiao Qing to face any danger.
I'm caught in a dilemma and truly worried.
Looks like we'll have to let them see each other less.
This stack of medicine with the name 'Yu' written on it is for Madam Yu.
This stack with the name 'Li' is for Mister Li on Qing Yi Lane.
And this last stack of medicine with the name 'Qin' written on it is for the carpenter Mister Qin's family on the Ninth Street. Absolutely no mistake in making the delivery.
Don't worry, Physician Xu.
Zhang Yutang. You...you're going somewhere?
Yes. Physician Xu asks me to deliver medicine to a couple of patients.
Let me go with you.
Xiao Qing.
I remember a few days ago you said you wanted to get some new clothes for the spring.
Lingluo Silk Boutique has new arrivals came just yesterday. How about, we go there to take a look.
There's no hurry, or, we can go tomorrow.
The goods in Lingluo Boutique are always in high demand. If we go tomorrow, we can only choose from what's left behind.
Therefore, we better go today.
Xiao Qing, you have something to do. I'll...go first.
Hurry and leave!
- Zhang Yutang! - Xiao Qing!
Let us also leave immediately.
Let's go!
Please take care, ladies.
Heiyo!
Physician Bai, Miss Xiao Qing, did you come to see the new fabrics?
I especially brought Xiao Qing here today to have some new clothes tailored for her.
Sure. Wait a moment.
Take a look.
Isn't this Tianshui Green?
Physician Bai, you have good eyes, this Tianshui Green's quality is first-rate.
Xiao Qing, using this Tianshui Green fabric to make clothes matches your complexion the most.
If you had come late, you would've missed this opportunity.
It's good since you say so.
Look!
Miss Xiao Qing, I'll let you see something good. Take a look at this fragrance pouch.
Are they a set?
No. Look at the mandarin ducks embroidery.
If you wear these clothes while your beloved carries the fragrance pouch,
wouldn't that be just the right match? Steadfast loyalty. Unforgettable joyous love.
Owner. I'll take this one!
Miss Xiao Qing, it's a pity that this fragrance pouch has already been reserved by someone. I apologize.
Why would you take it out when someone already reserved it? How disappointing!
I'm sorry. This...this...
I just wanted to take it out to open your eyes, check out my daughter's embroidery.
No matter how good the embroidery is, you're still not selling it to us. Let's go.
- What about this fabric? - Owner, please send this fabric to Baohe Hall.
- Thanks! - Alright!
Think there's nothing I can do if someone already reserved it?
Brother Zhang, cook this slowly over a gentle fire.
Reduce three bowls down to one bowl.
Will do, Physician Xu.
Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing!
Don't block me. Yutang brought medicine back. Just so happens I'm looking for him. There's something I want to give him.
Yesterday, Wife was saying that my fragrance pouch is too old
and wanted to gift me a new one. Thanks!
This one actually...isn't Elder Sister's gift to you.
It's not? No wonder.
I was wondering why Wife would give me such an inauspicious thing.
What inauspicious? Isn't this a fragrance pouch symbolizing
steadfast loyalty, affection for life?
If I'm not mistaken,
this material is Tianshui Green?
Correct.
Then do you know the origin of Tianshui Green?
This...isn't this something the fabric house owner shipped from Yangzhou?
Looks like you really don't know. Then do you know Li Yu?
Which Li Yu?
The one who questioned how many sorrows can a ruler have.
The final ruler of Southern Tang of the Five Southern Dynasties. You can't not know him, right?
How can I not know? I'm actually someone who, at the Nan Tang palace's garden,
I bathed in the garden pond. I just forgot for a moment.
isn't it something like...'like a winter river flowing into spring'?
Then do you know why Li Yi had so many sorrows?
Stop keeping me in suspense, don't beat around the bush.
Can you tell me why this Tianshui Green is not auspicious?
Li Houzhu
had an alluringly beautiful wife. She was known as Empress Xiao Zhou.
This woman loved the color green and would personally dye the silks.
She used night time dew to make the coloring.
Unexpectedly... she actually successfully mixed the green color.
Because the dew came from the sky,
it was called Tianshui Green (sky water green)
The husband and wife couple
wore clothes made from Tianshui Green, were loving and inseparable.
Who knew.
Who knew what?
Not more than half a month later, Southern Tang was destroyed by the founder of our dynasty.
Li Houzhu was killed. When he died,
he was wearing clothes made from Tianshui Green cloth.
After that, Empress Xiao Zhou also died beautifully.
She was also wearing a dress made from Tianshui Green fabric.
I'm afraid the mandarin ducks embroidered on this Tianshui Green,
aren't inseparable lovers,
but a couple with an early demise, instead.
Why the sigh?
I have done some inappropriate things today.
Fortunately, you were quick-witted. Otherwise, Xiao Qing would've given the fragrance pouch to Yutang,
then wouldn't everything have been ruined?
Wife, if you did not have a thousand years of cultivation,
and could not use your spirit pellet to extend my life,
would you still be with me?
If the price for us to be together was your life,
I would have left you.
Wife.
If we were to switch places, if you were together with me,
and your life was in danger,
Would you have left me?
Of course, I wouldn't. I wouldn't regret dying a hundred times over if we could be together for years to come.
Wife, our hearts are the same.
If you did not have a thousand years of cultivation, you would have left me.
I would rather die than lose you.
Neither of us would be willing to hurt the other.
But in fact, making a choice on behalf of the other person,
is what's truly most harmful.
What you mean is...
If that love poison can be neutralized,
would you still break up Xiao Qing and Zhang Yutang?
Our doing this might look like it's for their own good,
but they may not feel the same way.
Husband, I understand what you mean,
but Xiao Qing and Yutang are not the same as us.
They had only just fallen in love, and there's still time to pull back before it's too late.
If that love poison could be neutralized, of course I wouldn't stop them.
But that love poison is the law of nature making things difficult between humans and demons.
Wanting to neutralize the poison, how can it be so easy.
Wife, look at what's recorded in this book,
A god's blood can suppress a demon's power. If that was true,
then maybe it can also mask the laws of nature.
Husband is considerate. I thank you on behalf of Xiao Qing.
If a god's blood can neutralize the love poison, of course that would be great.
But I'm afraid this god's blood is difficult to obtain.
There's a way!
Love comes from the heart...it's difficult for outside forces to hold it back.
I hope to think of a surefire plan to allow Xiao Qing to obtain her heart's desire. One which wouldn't hurt her.
Miss Bai, we won't hide it from you.
All of us are minor gods from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
Even if Brother Yutang can absorb our godly blood,
it'll still be difficult to suppress the love poison.
In order to resist this love poison, we need to use the blood of a higher god.
In the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, only the dragon king is a higher god.
Xiao Qing, she...
her half immortal body actually came from her father, the Eastern Sea Dragon King.
I only knew that Xiao Qing and the Eastern Sea Dragon King shared some fate. Surprisingly, she's a dragon's daughter.
Since it's like this, how can we help Xiao Qing?
We need to obtain ten drops of true dragon blood in order to suppress the demonic love poison.
Since she's his own flesh and blood, he'll certainly fulfill his daughter's wish.
I'll leave this place to you. I'm making a trip to the dragon palace.
Miss Bai...Miss Bai! We're not finished speaking!
I Xiao Qing knew that her father is the dragon king, don't know if she'll be happy or sad.
Based on her personality, maybe she wouldn't be that grateful.
Where did the currents command token go?
I don't know. I deserve to die. This humble servant will go find it.
Hold on.
Finish drinking this Forget Love Water before leaving.
Great King, please have mercy on me, Great King!
This Forget Love Water is the tears of the deep blue sea. It's your honor that I'm bestowing it upon you.
Your majesty is a true dragon, this drink is just something to erase your troubles,
but if I were to drink this water, I'll forget the people I love most.
Even my wife and daughter will be forgotten.
You're going to search throughout the four seas, exhausting your life.
Why still care about some wife and daughter?
If you can't find that currents command token, the Celestial Execution Platform will be your final resting place.
Currents command token? This kind of thing should be kept carefully.
Why is it here? Seems it should be handed over to the dragon king.
Report! Report to Great King, the currents command token has been found.
Hand it over.
This is great!
Since this has returned to its original owner, may the dragon king not punish his subordinate.
Leave.
- Thank you young lady, thank you young lady! - Please stand.
If this currents command token fell into someone else's hands,
it would surely bring a fatal disaster upon the Easter Sea Dragon Palace.
Luckily this young lady returned it in time, so I can stop worrying.
Come! Fetch ten pearls and bestow it upon this young lady.
Please wait.
I merely returned an item to its rightful owner. Dragon King need not be courteous.
However, Suzhen came this time with a different request.
Withdraw!
May the Dragon King please bestow upon me ten drops of dragon blood in order to help dragon daughter Xiao Qing overcome difficulty as she wanders among the mortals.
Dragon daughter?
Xiao Qing?
The entire world knows that
a dragon births nine sons. Where would a dragon daughter come from?
- Xiao Qing resided at West Lake. Was attended to by four gods from the Eastern Sea. Could you have forgotten five hundred years ago... - Enough!
This snake spirit surprisingly dares to entrap me.
Does the dragon king mean to deny this daughter's existence?
I only have nine sons in charge of the world's seas and rivers, moving the clouds and winds.
How can there be some daughter. Even more so, I don't know of any Yu Furong.
Suzhen never mentioned a Yu Furong and also don't now what kind of divinity she may be.
I don't know why Dragon King reacted so strongly.
Xiao Qing is naive and romantic, innately sincere. She's a good girl.
You shouldn't treat her like this.
It was for the sake of fulfilling her fated love that I waded through these muddy waters.
Scram!
Since it's like this, then don't blame Suzhen for being rude.
White snake.
I take into account your having returned the currents command token,
and let you go.
If you still want to step forward on Xiao Qing's behalf,
I'll have you die with no burial place.
Five hundred years haven't come and go, the ending is clear already.
Xiao Qing, I have no ability to help you.
I can only break up your relationship.
Hope you can understand my difficulties.
Wife, let me.
You visited the Eastern Sea. How did you end up like this?
That dragon king is simply heartless and unfaithful.
Since he won't help Xiao Qing, then what are we to do?
Xiao is half immortal, Yutang being together with her,
maybe his poison will spread more slowly than yours did.
But Guan Yin said that in regards to this poison from loving a demon.
the deeper the love is, the more potent the poison is.
If the feelings for each other are deep,
I think her half immortal blood won't be able to overcome the heavenly laws.
If we want to protect Yutang's life, we can't continue to allow the two to be close.
Then...I'll send Yutang to SuZhou to gather and buy medicines.
Temporarily separate them, how's that?
This mere hundred li distance (about 33 miles), how can it stop Xiao Qing.
Then...let's explain clearly to Xiao Qing.
At this point, we can only do that.
But based on Xiao Qing's personality, we won't be able to persuade her.
This matter..can only start with Yutang.
You're his employer. It's unavoidable that
if he finds your words disagreeable, he may break the rice bowl. (quit his employment)
Therefore, in regards to this matter, I can't help but be the bad guy.
Baohe Hall
Master Bai, did you look for me?
Sit down.
Yutang, you know that
Xiao Qing is my good little sister.
In my heart, she's like a real sister to me.
I know. Your minds are connected.
Xiao Qing also said that in her eyes, you're her real sister.
Xiao Qing has been doted upon by us all of her life. She's never suffered hardship.
As a sister, I only hope that she can live a carefree and worry free life.
So many people cares for Xiao Qing, she'll be happy and blessed for sure!
But...
If she plans to stay with someone incompatible,
how can she be happy and blessed?
How can Xiao Qing...
Master B... Bai, you meant...
Yutang, you're straightforward, bold, and dependable.
You're an upright man that's difficult to find.
I believe that with your character,
you'll surely be able to find a young lady who's compatible with you in the future.
Master Bai, I understand.
it's me who is not careful.
I won't bother her anymore in the future.
What do you understand? You don't understand anything.
Xiao Qing.
Elder Sister, why did you say such things to Yutang?
Is it because in your eyes, you're compatible with Master Xu, yet I'm not compatible with Yutang?
- Xiao Qing. - Xiao Qing.
He...
He's illiterate and has no money and doesn't even have a place to live,
so how can he provide you with comfort and fortune.
Have enough for a comfortable life?
I don't think it's the top priority.
Elder Sister, I shouldn't have trusted you so much. I told you everything, yet,
Behind me, you...
You talked to him behind me.
You are too much.
Yutang, in this world, besides ourselves,
no one can break us up.
Xia... Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing.
Miss Xiao Qing, please calm down.
I've never been so calm before.
Your sister thinks for your own good.
Moreover, I don't like you at all.
You don't like me but I like you, what do you do about that?
A forcibly picked melon won't be sweet.
Moreover, whether we can be together
requires mutual consent.
Zhang Yutang. Right now, am I loving, but you're not willing?
Correct!
Fine! We're half way to success already.
Tell me, what do you not like about me?
Can't say anything, right?
I'm actually quite perfect, right?
Even if I'm not perfect, I can become perfect, is that right?
If I become perfect, you'll like me, right?
No, it's not.
I, Zhang Yutang, am a clerk at a medical clinic.
I'm not even clear about my own origins.
I have no money, no land. I don't even have a decent house.
Your being together with me is arranging fragrant flowers on a pile of cow manure. (a shameful match) I won't be able to give you happiness.
Flowers can survive on a pile of manure. They'd die if grown on a pile of gold.
Your sister, and other people...none of them will agree.
I don't care if they agree or not. I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?
I just want to be together with you. I really don't care about anything else.
Miss Xiao Qing, don't be like this
Your sister has come!
Zhang Yutang! Zhang Yutang!
Zhang Yutang!
You are merely moved by a mortal's heart.
and are physically attracted to that servant at the pharmacy.
It's none of your business. Move aside.
Bai Suzhen recklessly succumbs to mortal desires...married Xu Xian...that's already impermissible behavior.
You must be be caught by the evil cause of love again.
Or else, the consequence is unimaginable.
You emotionless, rotten monk.
Do you even know what's the evil cause of love?
What's wrong with my Older Sister being with Physician Xu? Who are you to hinder them?
You are such a busybody.
You are still quibbling? As a snake spirit,
you indulge in human lust...and bewilder him with sexual charms.
I won't allow you to follow Bai Suzhen's footstep.
Let's go. Return to Jinshan temple with me.
Get out of the way.
Move or not?
Someone! Help! Someone is robbing a woman!
- Help! - Stop!
This monk again?
Leave now or else, I will arrest you and take you to the official.
Expose her. Expose this evil doer.
She simply isn't serving the people...expose her right now. First, shock the world,
Second, present a nice counter charge...one that's difficult to clarify.
She will revert to the original form
Have everyone spurn her.
You still care about me?
I will escort you back to Baihe Hall. Okay?
No. My most important task now is to help you.
- Help me? - Yes.
You care about your life experience. I will go with you to find it.
I will never regret my decisions.
Zhang Yutang.
I...like you.
At least, it won't change for a hundred years.
You..are you willing to like me?
I do.
Fa Hai, Fa Hai, you are really useless.
That Xiao Qing even started to poison people's minds.
Yet you can only be at a loss for what to do.
and kill Bai Suzhen. Kill Xiao Qing,
Kill those evil doers!
Qing and Bai are evil doers.
yet I've never seen them harm single person.
People are differentiated by good and evil. Can demons not be the same.
Absurd. Without exception, honest demons cultivates in the mountains enduring hardship through the years.
Fa Hai, do you want to personally see people plunged into misery before you're content?
Since your heart is kind and hands are soft,
Let me handle it instead.
Why are there so many evil doers here?
Here.
This is for you.
I came here in the past.
There are a few tea and wine shops here.
After my foster father completed his hunt, he will bring them here for sale.
The shopkeeper at the time even teased my foster father.
He said that I was dressed in silks and satin,
I didn't look like a son of a hunter.
I looked more like a rich kid instead.
You dressed like a rich person?
Then it's very possible that you're a rich family's son who's been kidnapped.
I remember...my foster father said that when he found me,
I was in shock and clenched his coat tightly.
Couldn't speak a single sentence.
Besides the clothes on my body, there was nothing valuable on me.
Then where are those clothes now?
Gone long ago.
However, the flower patterns on those clothes were
very numerous and repetitive.
I remember...
they were like this.
Repeating Japanese rose?
Very few people dress their sons in such a decorative pattern.
Unless...it's a Buddhist wealthy family.
Then they would use this kind of pattern. What else do you remember?
At the top...there seemed to also be two
big cats facing each other.
Even two of them.
This makes me think of...if I'm not wrong,
it's the pattern of lions gazing at the moon.
Saying that makes me recall something.
There's a blank space at the chest of those clothes.
Should be where the longevity ornament hung previously.
That's right!
So it means that that person took away your longevity ornament.
Then we only need to visit the pawnshop now to find some clues.
Let's divide and conquer. I'll go east, you go west.
Let's go.
You that way. Me this way.
Manager, do you have any longevity ornaments here?
We do. What kind would you like?
I like antiques. Ten years old is fine.
There are.
There are, there are!
Please wait. I'll find some for you immediately.
Young Lady, these are all top class items.
Jade hare...repeating Japanese rose pattern.
It's this one! Finally found it after running half a day.
This one.
This..you can't take it. It's not an overdue pawn.
Then who provided the security?
- It's... crippled Old Third. - Crippled Old Third?
Where is he? I'll find him to discuss it.
I...I only know that he's a gambling addict.
He treats this longevity ornament like a good luck charm.
Every time he lost he would put it up as security.
After that, he'd win everything back.
Therefore, this ornament became our frequent customer.
He'll return to reclaim this longevity ornament.
High high high!
- High high high! - Open it, open it, open it
- Open, open!
High! We've won!
This... this...
Sorry...I've won. Two points higher than you.
Old Third.
Why so dazed? Go in!
Recently, my luck hasn't been good. Lost everything.
Tell me, if I go in again and pay with my leg again,
I'll only be able to crawl in my next life.
Didn't you know? A new dealer came today.
Doesn't charge anything when you win. If you lose, your money is returned with interest.
Such a good thing?
- Are you serious? - I'm serious.
I'm needing money.
Look!
Who else will challenge me?
Me!
Everyone make way...make way.
- Young Lady. - Why's he here?
- I want to try. - Fine!
If you win, all of these are yours.
If you lose, I won't take a single cent.
- Really? - Truly.
Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing!
Master Bai, has Xiao Qing come back yet?
Xiao Qing? Isn't she with you?
We agreed to meet from three to five in the afternoon, but I've waited four hours.
I still don't see a trace of her.
Not good! Xiao Qing is in danger!
