The Untamed
Episode 05
Is there really a secret in the back hill of Cloud Recesses?
Bro Ji, it's you.
Bro Ji, I did not do it on purpose.
The fault is also yours.
You came silently.
I was not even get prepared.
Bro Ji,
tell you a secret.
I just heard some noise in the back hill.
I guess someone has sneaked into the back hill.
Is it related to the spirit snatch?
Wait!
How can you drag me in this way?
It hurts!
It does hurt!
Beautiful calligraphy.
It's beyond the best.
Bro Wangji.
Lan Wangji.
Lan Zhan!
Can you stop looking at me in that way?
It's you who ignore me first.
That's why I call your formal name.
If you're upset,
you can call me in the same way.
Put down your leg.
As you say.
By the way, Wangji.
I wanna ask you a question,
why do you hate me so much?
Second Childe Lan,
how can you ignore me again after a few words.
I apologize
and admit my fault.
Yes, at that night
I should not climb the wall,
drink alcohol,
and fight with you.
But I swear,
I really know nothing of
your family rules.
Otherwise, I would never drink the Emperor's Smile
in front of you.
I would take it back and drink it secretly in my room.
And I have to clear the truth.
It was you
who fought first.
If you did not hit me,
we could have a chat.
As for me,
if someone hit me first,
I will absolutely hit him back.
So this thing,
I'm not the only one to blame.
Are you listening, young master?
May I have the honor to get a glimpse from you.
Transcribe the text one more time.
Come on.
I have apologized.
Not in a sincere way.
Absolute sincerely.
I'm sorry.
I'll apologized continually to your heart's content.
I can even kneel down to you.
Sister,
where are you going, sister?
Sister,
since you came to Gusu,
I couldn't see you often.
You...
Are you really looking for something?
Remember,
the clips of Yin Iron,
is same as that in Dafan mountain.
You must remember.
Go find it.
Bring it back.
Sister,
I won't ask,
don't get too tired.
Ning,
since you came to Cloud Recesses,
have you felt something strange?
No, No.
Sister, I have had all the medicine you gave me.
Our family has been doctors for centuries,
but I can't cure my own brother.
If it were not for...
Sis,
stop it.
Ning,
I will take you away from Nevernight
sooner or later.
have you transcribed all the books?
It's done.
By the way,
I won't come from tomorrow.
This,
is your gift.
Right.
I forget to add something.
Done.
Boring?
I know you will say boring.
Can you change a word
or add some new ones?
Extremely boring.
You do add something.
Thank you so much.
Wei Ying.
Yes yes yes!
Lan Zhan.
Behave yourself!
I bring my sword, too.
Don't you want your library?
Shameless.
Why are you ashamed of this?
Don't tell me you've never read a book like this.
I don't believe it.
Go outside.
Let's have a duel.
No no no.
Fight is prohibited, don't you know?
Lan Zhan!
No no no!
Lan Zhan.
What a ruin! You!
Piss off.
Lan Zhan,
people say you're a noble gentleman
like the rarest pearl.
No one can be more courteous than you.
But you are just so so.
Cloud Recesses prohibit making a noise
but you dare ask me to piss off.
OK, I'll just piss off. I'm good at this anyway.
Don't need to walk me out.
He ask you to piss off?
Bro Wei,
you are unbelievable.
It's the first time I hear Lan Wangji say piss off.
How can you make it happen, Bro Wei?
It's my pleasure
to help him break the ban.
I'll tell everyone
that I am the first one.
Why are you so proud?
What are you proud of?
Is it a pride to be asked to piss off?
Our family is disgraced because of you.
I did appologize to him.
He not only refused it but also punish me to keep silence.
Why can't I play a trick on him?
It's a pity that I lost the Rare Beauty Collection
I got from Nie.
I didn't get time to have a look.
I gave him but received malice. Good for him,
It's a waste of his face.
Never mind.
I got a plenty of those.
Right.
Did you say my name?
Am I the kind of traitor?
You offended both Lan Wangji and Lan Qiren.
You are dead.
Nobody will remedy it.
Jiang Cheng.
Why do you think so much?
Play tricks first.
Besides,
You've helped me for so many times,
just do it for me one more time.
If it happens again,
don't tell me
and don't let me see it.
Piss off!
Isn't it owl of Wen clan of Qishan?
Why is it here?
Wen clan of Qishan?
How do you know it is their owl?
Our Qinghe is at the foot of Qishan.
We see this kind of owl very often.
It is said
the owls are the supervisor of Wen Clan.
Then why do the owl fly to Cloud Recesses?
I don't know.
Can the Wen Clan control everything,
even us auditors?
Brother,
Recently, something strange happened inside the wards of the back hill.
Though the wards has not been broken yet,
it has been disrupted.
Did you find who had got into the back hill?
Wei Ying.
Brother, do we need to reinforce the ward?
The ward is set by the ancestors.
As long as she doesn't go inside,
the ward will not break.
She?
Forget about this.
Wangji.
Clan Leader.
Clan Leader. Second Childe.
Forego formalities.
What's the matter?
The villagers came to report that
Caiyi Town is haunted by the water ghosts these days.
There are lots of victims.
The villagers are petitioning for
the help of Lan Clan.
Water ghosts?
The people in Caiyin Town are good at swimming,
drowning rarely happens.
Where do the water ghosts come from?
Well...
I don't know.
Clan Leader, do you need me to do the exorcism?
Reply the villagers for me.
I will go there in person tomorrow morning.
And do the exorcism.
Clan Leader has been busy these days.
I can do the job
to rid these water ghosts
which grow from water-living critters.
I think this may not be that easy.
Just prepare for it.
Yes.
Wangji, go with me tomorrow.
Yes.
Senior Sister.
Miss Wen.
Childe Jiang.
Miss Wen.
Why are you here?
Miss Wen.
Why do you ignore me?
Xian, here you are.
I'm here.
Senior Sister, why do you come?
It's been rainy these days.
I felt dizzy when I went to the river bank this morning.
It was lucky that I met Miss Wen.
Not only did she come back with me,
but she also gave me some medicine.
I've got better now.
Sis, why don't you tell us that
you are sick?
The fuddy-duddy is to blame.
He put me in confinement for three days.
Senior Sister must be sick because of missing me.
Miss Wen.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome, Childe Jiang.
I'm a doctor.
It's my duty to cure people.
Senior Sister, I've heard that Childe Lan
have been to the Qinghe for the Cultivation Conference.
So in these days,
we don't have to audit courses.
And I've heard that Zewu Jun is going to the town for hunting
and do the exorcism of water ghosts.
If we set off now,
we can catch them up.
Water ghosts?
Yes.
It is said that Caiyi Town is haunted by the water ghosts these days.
It's really strange.
Zewu Jun.
- Zewu Jun. - Zewu Jun.
Childe Wei, Childe Jiang.
You...
Zewu Jun.
It's said that there are water ghosts near the Biling Lake.
And we don't need to audit these days.
So we want to go practice with Zewu Jun.
Yes, yes, let us go with you.
It's against the rules.
Why?
Our Yunmeng is a brooky area.
Jiang Cheng and I played near waters in our childhood.
Water Ghosts are so easy for us.
Besides, we don't have courses these days.
Right, Zewu Jun.
Yunmeng has so many rivers.
We can help you for sure.
We don't need.
Then two childes please follow me.
Clan Leader Lan.
I want to broaden my horizon, too.
Zewu Jun, Miss Wen is well versed in medicine.
Although the water ghosts are easy to deal with,
some ordinary villager
may be hurt during the exorcism,
and she can do the job to cure.
Then Miss Wen go with us, please.
Sis,
sis, wait for me.
Wen Ning.
Why do you come?
I've told you, I...
Sis, I've heard that
you are going to do the exorcism of water ghosts.
I wanna go with you
to see the ghosts.
Ning,
it might be very dangerous.
I asked you to stay at home, why don't you listen?
I...
Miss Wen,
your brother is so talented,
and he is a vastly superior archer.
I think nothing will go wrong.
And,
I'll protect him.
It'll be alright.
Simple as an exorcism of water ghost,
it won't be that dangerous.
Clan Leader Lan,
my brother is so young and impolite,
he came here because of his curiosity for water ghosts,
as Qishan is mountainous and dry.
But Clan Leader Lan, don't worry,
Ning and I will never interrupt the exorcism.
Forgive us
and allow my brother go with us, please.
Never mind, Miss Wen.
Since he came, let him go with us.
Brother, why do you take them?
It's not an easy case,
no time for joke.
I just looked at you,
you seemed to want the two boys
to go together,
so I said yes.
Don't you want?
Two guests, welcome.
Your place looks
a little dirty.
Sir, forgive me.
To be honest,
since the lake started to eat human beings,
our inn
hasn't had guest for a long time.
You two are the first guests since then.
So please help yourself.
Eat human?
The water ghosts turned from the spirits of water critters.
Why do they eat human?
I don't know what's under the lake.
The Biling Lake
had been calm and safe for many years.
But something happened.
There are some businessmen from outside two months ago.
Their ships sank.
At the beginning, no one takes it seriously.
But more ships sank,
and even the locals'.
It rarely happened before.
How about people in ships?
All of them were eaten.
Did you see what ate them?
Well, I didn't.
Then how can you be so sure?
It was done by the things in the lake.
The people certainly were eaten.
So many people had drown but no one has ever returned.
No one found even a dead body.
Bro Wangji,
do you think if the things in the lake
are water ghosts?
We can't judge before we see the whole picture.
But I think they are not.
Then,
if the things aren't water ghosts,
what are they?
How about this?
Let's make a bet.
I bet we think the same.
Boring.
Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan!
So dull.
I heard that there was a fisherman died yesterday.
I'd like to see how much power
these little ghosts have.
Usually water ghosts just play tricks on people,
now they even dare to eat human.
Zewu Jun,
let alone the discussion of the villagers,
is there anyone who
has seen the things?
The ghosts are so crafty.
Once people are dragged into the water,
they barely come back.
No one has ever seen the true face.
Then, Zewu Jun,
how is cases of spirit snatching going?
Why do you ask about this?
The spiritual energy has been surging
in Cloud Recesses from the ancient times.
But now,
there's cultivators'soul being snatched
and here are water ghosts.
Do you think they are related?
We are looking into the spirit snatch thing.
But the water ghosts are in the water,
I don't think they are related.
- But... - Childe Wei,
now the most important thing is the exorcism.
Zewu Jun is right.
We can't waste time.
Lan Zhan,
do you want to drink?
Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan,
tell me,
is there any progress on the spirit snatch?
Not yet.
But I feel that
your brother is concealing something from us.
You think so, do you?
You also feel your brother is concealing.
And, I bet
it's not a trivial matter.
Or how can it be...
No liquor is allowed
during the night hunting.
Lan Zhan,
Why don't I know the rule?
I've not taste a drop.
Give it back!
Everyone, be careful,
it's near the haunted area.
Zewu Jun,
the ghosts are so cunning.
If they
keep hiding under the boat,
are we going to search forever?
What if we can't find them?
It's our duty.
Keep searching until we find them.
Lan Zhan, look at me!
Boring.
What's that?
I've never seen a water ghost like that.
Don't tell me
that they are demonized by something?
Childe Wei,
how do you know they are under the boat?
Easy.
The draft is strange.
What's strange?
Just now his boat
has only one person on it,
but it drew deeper
than the boat carrying two people.
So there must be water ghosts under it.
You're an expertise.
Lan Zhan,
I didn't splash water on purpose.
It's because the water ghosts are so cunning,
if I say the truth,
they will run away.
Second Childe Lan,
you just pour my liquor out,
I didn't say a word.
Now, are we clear?
Stay away from me.
It's here!
Catch it!
Watch the right!
What's the name of this sword?
Whatever.
This sword has a spirit.
It's offensive to address it whatever I want.
I didn't ask you to call whatever you want.
Its name is Whatever.
Look.
I know what you want to say.
You want to ask why do I pick this name,
if there is any special meaning.
Actually, there's nothing special.
When Uncle Jiang gave it to me,
he asked me how would I name it.
I had thought of more than twenty names,
but none of them are satisfying.
So I said, Whatever.
Now I think
Whatever is not bad.
Ridiculous.
I don't think so.
The fog is getting thicker.
Be careful.
Jiang Cheng, how are you?
Jiang Cheng, where are you?
I'm fine.
Childe Jiang.
Miss Wen.
You got hurt.
Miss Wen,
I'm fine.
Jiang Cheng, how are you indeed?
I'm fine.
It's lucky that it just hurt skin.
It will recover after a few days.
The color of the water...
Go back now!
The thing in the water
deliberately led us to the center of the lake.
Go now!
What happened?
Look, they come together.
The Aqua Demon!
It's the Aqua Demon!
The water ghosts came together
and became the Aqua Demon.
They wanna eat all of us!
Childe Wei, what should we do?
Ride the sword.
Ning!
Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, thanks for your help.
But why did you grab me by the collar?
Can you just hold me?
It makes me uncomfortable.
Well,
I give you my hand
you can just hold my hand.
I don't touch other people.
We are so intimate.
I'm not a stranger.
Not close at all.
You are so ridiculous.
When being grabbed by someone in the midair,
can you shut your mouth?
Shut up.
You...
Wei Wuxian.
What are you doing here?
I come to visit Wen Ning.
The door is open.
But what's going on with him,
why does he remain unconscious?
Childe Wei,
Ning needs rest.
Please leave if you have nothing else to say.
This is for you.
This is?
This is a talisman to protect him.
Protect him?
Though I am not a doctor like you,
as for magic arts,
I have my experience.
Wen Ning is a cultivator,
he's not so weak that he fainted just for the water.
Miss Wen, don't you feel strange?
Wei Wuxian.
What exactly do you want to say?
Did Wen Ning
have some unusual experience before?
Therefore,
he is so easy to be affected by the ghosts.
Miss Wen,
No matter what you want in Cloud Recesses,
I want you to keep this talisman.
And I wish this talisman protect him.
Of course you can choose not to believe me.
If you think this talisman fails to act,
just throw it away.
Comb.
Boy, buy a comb for your girl.
I don't need it.
Boy, don't go.
Comb is an emblem of lovesickness.
It's the best gift for a girl.
Come to have a look.
Have a look.
Look.
Noodles, please.
Here you are.
Lotus capsule.
The best lotus capsule.
The delicious lotus capsule.
Have a look.
Wangji,
what are you thinking about?
The Aqua Demon.
What Wei Wuxian had said,
is not unreasonable.
The cultivators'spirits were snatched
and the Aqua Demon appeared.
The connections between them,
do you have any clue?
Wangji,
I'm not so sure about these,
my only wish is that
my assumption is wrong.
But if it is not,
I'm afraid that we can't change it either.
Here you are.
Lan Zhan,
have some loquats.
No.
You're so boring.
Jiang Cheng, catch it.
You want loquats,
I can buy you a basket of it.
No.
