The Untamed
Episode 09
The Dire Owl!
The damn bird again.
Did we fall into a trap?
Help! Bro Wei! Bro Lan!
Why the unlucky one is always me!
Danger!
Don't.
Not dead yet.
You forgot. You said it.
Look at their pupils.
Lan Zhan,
do you have any good solution?
Dash.
Wait, wait, wait. Bro Lan. Bro Wei.
Isn't it reckless
for us to dash through them?
Shall we discuss about it?
If we go out like this, aren't we courting death?
Bro Wei, I really don't want to die.
My canary...
Listen. Bro Nie.
Once we get out,
you must cling to me.
Don't let go of my hand, got it?
Never let it go, understand?
Let's go.
Don't move!
She...
Why does she appear again?
You ignorant rushed into the Tiannv Temple.
What punishment do you think you deserve?
Don't punish us! Don't punish us!
Wei Wuxian.
You departed without permission.
Do you plead guilty?
Jiang Cheng,
if you don't come out immediately,
Lan Zhan will lose his temper.
Why are you here, Jiang Cheng?
You can come. Why can't I?
It's fun to travel around all the way, isn't it?
Without you harping on me,
I am much more at ease.
You have the nerve to say that?
You just disappeared with a note left.
Do you know how worried I...
how worried my sister is?
Bro Jiang.
If you wanted to frighten Brother Wei, that's OK.
Why did you even upset me and Bro Lan?
We are...
The silencing charm is lifted?
I'm upset for the journey to here because of you guys .
All right, Jiang Cheng.
It was me who wanted to follow Lanzhan.
You can't blame him.
I haven't blamed you yet. You're speaking for him.
I don't know what you're going to do.
But you have seen how dangerous it is.
But for Miss Wen this time...
Miss Wen?
Wen Qing also has come here?
Damn it.
How long after the whistle stopped?
I hope that Miss Wen is not in danger.
Where is she now?
Why do you come together?
Miss Wen.
It's the Dire Owl again.
Is Wen Chao nearby?
Why on earth does he want to kill us?
Miss Wen, are you okay?
Childe Jiang.
Didn't I tell you to save them and leave?
Miss Wen,
why are you here?
They, they are coming again!
You should leave now.
Let's go together.
I can't.
Childe Jiang, you promised me.
You would listen to me for coming here.
Take them away quickly.
You can't save them, Miss Wen.
You should go before it's too late.
You know how to save them?
Doesn't the Dancing Peri extract people's spiritual cognition?
They can be saved?
Wen Qing.
I don't care why you're here.
But we're all stuck here right now.
If we want to get out, we have to work together.
If you know how to get them back to normal,
I hope you can tell me now.
Okay.
I'll tell you.
At present, they are not manipulated very well.
Wen Chao only borrowed the power of Yin Iron
sealed on the Dire Owl by Wen Ruohan
to control them.
If you really want to help them,
kill the Dire Owl first.
You should have told us earlier.
Wei Ying, set up a Golden Silk Barrier to protect them.
What are you doing? Wei Wuxian!
Bro Wei, this won't last long.
Do you want us dead?
Jiang Cheng, you have the ability to protect them well.
Take care of them.
You...
If it won't last, add a layer of protection.
You're good at this.
You must protect them well.
I wanted to kill that owl long ago.
Wait till we are back.
Wait for us.
Wei Wuxian!
You bastard.
Lan Zhan!
Where are you, Lan Zhan?
Lan Zhan!
Where are you, Lan Zhan?
Lan Zhan!
What, what's going on?
Listen.
What kind of a bird it is?
It's more astute than I am.
Lan Zhan!
Where are you, Lan Zhan?
Not good. Not good. Not good.
Was Lan Zhan caught by the Dire Owl?
I'm next to you.
You should have said something.
The mist is brought by the hallucinations made by the Dire Owl.
Don't worry.
I can break it up with a Glitter Talisman.
This hallucination can not only disorient people,
but also disturb the mind.
We can't concentrate at all now.
That's strange.
Why haven't you been disturbed?
The Dire Owl's hallucination
is the more disturbing
the more thoughts you have in mind.
Obviously, it is making use of my wisdom.
Lan Zhan.
Are you all right?
Fine.
Did you see who controled the bird?
No.
Wei Ying.
Close the Five Senses.
Fire-split Talisman.
Wei Wuxian, you wretch.
Come back quickly!
Fortunately, my fan is made of the Darksteel.
Otherwise...
Get away from me!
Bro Jiang, please help me mend this. It's worn out here.
Make it up by yourself.
But how?
Miss Wen, come here.
Help me mend here quickly.
Miss Wen.
Don't get too close.
Be careful that they will scratch you.
Madam...
Lan Zhan.
It worked.
Silent.
How can you outsmart me?
That was close.
Lan Zhan, luckily, you come in time.
Can you see who it is?
The comer just sent part of his or her cognition.
He or she didn't come in person.
Good for him.
Villagers' spiritual cognition has been returned.
Let's go.
Wait for me.
Useless!
Hello, Sir.
Where are that three people just here?
What?
Where am I?
I let Clan Leader Wen down.
I almost hurt Qing.
I'm good for nothing.
Madam.
Get up please.
Get up, Madam.
Come on.
Qing.
I'm sorry.
I'm of no use.
Madam.
Get up, everybody.
Madam.
Please don't say that.
I should say sorry to you.
You guys get out of here now.
You can go anywhere
except Qishan.
And don't come back here again.
Bro Jiang.
Why do they know Miss Wen?
And
why did she bring us to the graveyard?
How should I know?
Jiang Cheng.
Miss Wen.
Bro Wei, we are here.
Bro Wei.
I knew you could kill the Dire Owl.
You are really as sharp as a razor.
But
why are you here?
Miss Wen.
What on earth is this place?
This is where my clan was buried.
So that ancestral temple...
You're right.
That's Wen clan's ancestral temple.
We are a collateral branch of Wen clan of Qishan
specializing in medicine.
After leaving Qishan, we live here for generations.
But unexpectedly,
a disaster suddenly happened here.
Father!
Qing, go!
As for the blood of our branch,
we are the last few.
Was it because Dancing Peri extracts the spiritual cognition?
Yes.
Since then
Wen Ning and I were brought up by His Excellency
back in Qishan.
But why the Dancing Peri hurt people suddenly?
I don't know.
Father.
I could have snatched up Wei Wuxian and his fellows.
It was because of the ignorance of Wen Qing.
She should dare to stop me secretly.
You fool!
Those who lived in Dafan Mountain are Wen Qing's people.
If you hadn't used
the power of Yin Iron I sealed in the Dire Owl
making them into puppets,
Wen Qing wouldn't have stopped you.
Besides, I asked you to help Xue Yang.
Why did you act on your own and stop them?
You are right, father.
I'm sorry.
Go and find Yin Iron back.
This time you should make no mistake.
Yes, father.
I hope things won't go wrong any more.
If you stay with me,
I'm sure you can remain unscathed.
Do not boast yourself.
If Miss Wen didn't come to Dafan Mountain,
can you still be alive?
Staying with you
is really rotten luck.
Jiang Cheng.
Now that you think I bring you misfortune,
why did you follow me?
I...
Who says I'm following you.
In order to cross Dafan Mountain
there's only one road.
I'd like to say you are following me.
The barred rock chicken.
Look at that!
There!
How does it know I am hungry?
Bro Wei.
We two can catch it from front and back.
Let's go!
Jiang Cheng.
Help me block it from there.
I won't.
Quickly! Bro Nie is getting far.
Bro Nie.
Miss Wen.
Twenty years ago,
didn't you know why Dancing Peri was out of control?
Where's Wei Wuxian?
He said he wanted to pee.
Maybe he is finding a toilet.
Second Childe Lan.
I have said it just now.
I was little at that time,
so I couldn't figure out.
Then did Miss Wen know
the missing part of Dancing Peri's heart?
Since we left Cloud Recesses,
Wen Chao followed us tightly.
Don't you know why?
Miss Wen.
If you didn't know anything,
why informed us of the danger suddenly?
Wei Wuxian.
You saved Ning
and I saved you.
So we are even.
As the motto of Wen family said, 'Every kindness should be returned.'
I don't know anything else.
Don't bother to ask me.
The missing part of Dancing Peri
is the Yin Iron, right?
Miss Wen.
We are delibrately led to this place.
The beggar led us to Tiannv Temple when we entered the village.
Dancing Peri woke up.
But she aimed at Lan Zhan only.
Not us.
If her goal was not for the Yin Iron,
then the only sensible reason is that
she must have crushed on Lan Zhan.
Shut up.
Miss Wen.
The shape of Dafan Mountain is like a Buddha
with good geomantic omen.
The place should be full of spiritual power.
But along our way
it's weird to see the exhaustion of spiritual power.
Even if the Dancing Peri is the creation of great nature,
who wants to be humanoid,
she should absorb the power of others.
Centuries went by without incident.
Why in recent twenty years
did she suddenly start snatching human souls?
The only plausible reason
is the Yin Iron in her heart.
The power of the Yin Iron helped her to have human shape.
Just like the Water Ghost.
But ten years ago,
someone took away Yin Iron from her heart.
Because she couldn't absorb any power,
she started to snatch the human souls.
Am I right?
And the man who took away the Yin Iron
was Wen Ruohan.
Miss Wen.
Twenty years ago, Wen Ruohan unsealed
and took out the Yin Iron,
which led to the death of your family members.
Now Wen Ruohan want to rob other Yin Iron.
There will be more people dead because of it.
Wei Wuxian.
Second Childe Lan.
I can't help you.
It's no use telling me this.
Miss Wen.
The four directions are guarded by Yin Iron.
Now three of them have appeared.
Where's the last one?
Wen Ruohan sheltered me and my brother
and is kind to us.
As for others, I don't know
and don't want to know.
I can't help you.
Goodbye.
Wait, Miss Wen!
Miss Wen.
Leaving alone was too dangrous for you.
You showed up in Dafan Mountain.
How can you explain to Wen clan this time?
Thanks for asking.
I'll be careful.
Why not stay with us this time?
Then you can make a plan.
I must go back.
My brother is still in the Nevernight.
But...
Childe Jiang, please don't persuade me.
I was in Dafan Mountain for saving my people,
not for saving others.
Wen Ruohan still needs my medical help.
He won't be hard on me.
Miss Wen.
Let her go.
She has her plans.
What's more,
I believe we could meet her soon.
Have a taste of Dichroa Red of Yueyang!
Childe.
Please try our Dichroa Red of Yueyang.
Childe, the taste is for free.
Have a taste of Dichroa Red of Yueyang!
Where are you going?
Find the gentry families residing here.
Why do you find them?
I'd say the way you handling affairs
is poor without my help.
Even if you find them,
you can't hear anything you want.
Then how should I inquire?
You should go to that place for sure.
You just wanna drink.
Wrong.
I, Wei Wuxian, always set private apart from public interests.
Think about that.
There are mixed guests here with so many voices speaking.
If nearby
something weird happened,
then they must have seen or heard them.
Your mouth
really has a gift of the gab.
Bro Wei, Bro Jiang.
What's up, Bro Nie.
Meng Yao hasn't arrived.
Let's find a place to have a rest.
Great!
Go, go, go.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Three bottles of liquor, please.
Are you crazy?
What a generous Childe!
Our Dichroa Red of Yueyang
is really strong.
Only people like Childe you can harness the power.
Please wait a moment.
Only by spending money can we pull something out of him.
Don't ask me for it if you run out of money.
The liquor is coming.
Childe, this is the liquor you ordered.
Come to the point.
Waiter,
this is the first time for us to be in Yueyang.
Is anything of interest
in your Yueyang?
What kind of interesting things you wanna know?
What I mean for 'interesting'
is the eerier the better.
So is there anything bizarre?
Bizarre?
Bizzare things are
the ghost estate, grave or mutilation of the body
or something unusual
or any soul being snatched
and so on.
Childe, you really like strong tastes.
What is located in the southeast of Yueyang?
The southeast is
the house of Chang clan.
Childe, as you mentioned,
I remember a bizarre incident happened recently.
Say it.
If you walk along the path out of the city.
And a few miles more.
You can see a well-built house.
That is Chang clan's house.
Chang clan of Yueyang?
they are the cultivation clan settled in here.
Yes, they are cultivators.
Although members of Chang clan are a few,
there are a dozen people lived in Yueyang.
But for unknown reasons,
they all disappeared recently.
Disappeared?
It should be.
But,
it should not be.
What do you mean?
It is because a dozen people of Chang clan
never appeared in Yueyang anymore.
But each night,
people can hear sounds from the house of Chang clan
like the heavy beats on the door.
Knockings?
Yes.
It has continued for ten days
with deafening knockings on the door.
There are cries and shrieks inside,
as if everyone
is locked in the house and couldn't get out.
Did anyone get inside to have a look?
They did.
But there's no one at daytime.
At night there are knockings.
Don't you think it's horrible?
Look,
It's almost evening.
Lan Zhan.
Lan Zhan, fix attention on heart.
Lan Zhan, fix attention!
It's Yin Iron.
What's up? Is anything going to happen?
Lan Zhan!
Go.
To Chang clan.
I won't go.
I'm here waiting for Meng Yao.
No knockings on the door.
Did the waiter fool us with nonsense?
Someone has used Yin Iron here.
Go.
The knocking.
Open!
Blood like stream.
The entire clan was murdered.
The bodies are blue.
The color of pupils changed.
There are red cracks on their necks.
Before they died,
all of them were made into puppets.
