The Untamed
Episode 43
But, if he had adopted
the reason of playing the Cleansing Music for Red Blade Master,
in the name of calming him down,
to play it for three months,
would the song
be able to act as a slow poison and catalyze
Red Blade Master's outburst?
If so,
our speculation will be reasonable.
The melody that doesn't belong to the Cleansing Music
is from
the missing page of the Collection of Turmoil.
What are written on the Collection of Turmoil
are difficult evil music of Dongying (Ancient Chinese address of Japan).
Jin Guangyao didn't have time
to copy in the Forbidden Chamber,
but could only tear it apart.
No.
Jin Guangyao can memorize everything he sees.
Tearing the page apart
is not because he couldn't remember,
but to wipe out the evidence.
He had to make sure that in case someone knows,
he also can't find out the source.
He did everything
with extreme caution.
In your presence,
he played complete Cleansing Music of course.
Red Blade Master was not a lover of the arts.
Having heard Clan Leader Lan's playing of Cleansing Music,
he had a basic impression
of Cleansing Music.
Therefore, Jin Guangyao
didn't dare to play the evil music directly.
But with a lot of effort,
he managed to mingle
two pieces of music
of opposite functions.
The mingling is not only appropriate,
but smooth as a whole.
So he really has a great gift for music.
I guess,
he channeled a little spiritual power
in the part of Cleansing Music,
but gave a full play in the part of
Collection of Turmoil.
After all Red Blade Master was not a master of music.
Naturally he couldn't tell the difference.
One passage of the music
had already been replaced by Jin Guangyao with the fatal evil music.
Although he often visited Cloud Recesses,
I never mentioned to him
the Forbidden Chamber in Library Pavilion.
Clan Leader Lan,
with all due respect,
Lianfang Zun
was an undercover in
Nevernight of clan Wen.
And a very successful one.
He could even find out Wen Ruohan's hidden chamber
and sneaked in without anyone noticing him.
He memorized all the maps and documents
and wrote a copy to be sent back to Jinlintai.
As far as he's concerned,
the Forbidden Chamber of Library Pavilion
is not a big deal.
I see.
I will find a way to test the remaining pieces of music.
Brother.
When my big brother died,
the mobilization meeting has passed.
Childe Wei was no longer alive then.
Through the test,
if it really can disturb one's mind,
but merely a rumor,
I...
Zewu Jun.
Isn't testing evil music on living people
against the principles of Lan clan?
I'll test it on myself.
Brother.
Wangji.
Jin Guangyao
is a totally different person
from my eyes
and from yours and others'.
For all these years,
in my heart,
he's a man of forbearance,
benevolence and kindness.
I always firmly believe that
people denounce him due to misunderstandings
and in my eyes, I can see the real him.
You want me to believe at once that
everything he presented in front of me is fake,
that he schemed to murder his sworn big brother,
that I'm also a part of his plan
and I even
helped him.
Could you allow me to be more discreet
about my final judgment?
I'll visit uncle.
I'll take Childe Wei back.
You can come later.
Zewu Jun.
How may I help, Childe Wei?
While Lan Zhan is not around
I'd like to consult you about one thing.
Childe Wei, please do say.
Well.
What's about the
whip scars on Lan Zhan?
You don't know?
I asked him,
but he's unwilling to tell me.
I have to ask you.
Fine.
I know him best.
If not necessary,
I'm afraid Wangji won't
mention it for rest of his life.
Let me tell you.
Childe Wei, do you remember
on Qiongqi Road
Ghost General Wen Ning
killed Jin Zixuan by mistake?
Wen Qing then took Wen clan
to Jinlintai and asked for punishment.
Hanguang Jun.
What do you mean by this?
You protected Wei Ying at Nevernight,
Now you prevent us from searching his den?
What's your real purpose?
You are not qualified
to talk to me.
You!
Clan Leader Su.
Please don't mind him.
Hanguang Jun is a noble man as we expected.
Since Hanguang Jun doesn't allow us to search here,
then let's leave Demon-subdue Cave be.
We surrounded the whole Burial Mounds,
even Yiling Patriarch is alive by chance,
he's impossible to appear in the Demon-subdue Cave
without noticing.
Right.
By the way,
Hanguang Jun.
Your uncle arrived.
He seems to take you back to Cloud Recesses
At Burial Mounds,
Wangji made a mess
for being the one against all.
Uncle burst into anger
and took him back to Cloud Recesses.
The punishment were 300 times of whips,
repenting in the Cold Pond Cave,
grounded in the back hill for three years.
Beat him!
What's the 52nd of
doctrine of Lan clan?
Do not make friend with the evils.
The fundamental of Lan clan
should forgotten by you.
How do you have the nerve
to face the forefathers of Lan clan?
I dare ask uncle,
who's right and who's wrong?
Who's black? Who's white?
Perfect!
That's the good student that I taught!
Wangji
You disappointed me so much.
= Eradicate the evil, set up laws, and then goodness is everlasting. =
When Wangji was grounded,
I reached to him
and persuaded him.
But he told me,
he took you as his confidant,
so he should trusted your integrity.
Why bother.
Childe Wei.
Do you know what's this place?
I don't.
It's the place
that my mother lived in Cloud Recesses.
You might find it strange that
as the wife of clan leader,
why didn't she live with her husband in the Frigid Chamber.
Childe Wei, you might know that
my father used to seclude himself for years
not caring about anything.
All things of Lan clan
were managed by my uncle.
I know that.
It is because my mother
that father always secluded himself.
This place is more like a prison
than a living place.
When my father was young,
once on his way back of night hunting
he met my mother outside the Gusu.
It was said it's love at first sight.
A typical teenage romance.
Unfortunately this woman
didn't fall in love with my father
and even killed one of my father's teachers.
Why's that?
Don't know.
But I guess it's about nothing but
right and wrong, love and hate.
My father was in great agony
after knowing this.
But after much deliberation,
he still secretly took my mother
to Cloud Recesses.
Regardless of the disapproval of the clan,
he married her quietly.
He also told the clan that
this is the wife he loves for a life time.
Whoever wants to drive her
must challenge him first.
After their wedding,
father found a house
and locked my mother up.
He found himself another house
and locked himself up.
In the name of seclusion,
but actually repenting.
Childe Wei.
Can you understand
the purpose of my father?
Do you think
he did the right thing?
I don't know.
It was desperate
for my father to do so.
When Wangji and I were born,
he immediately
sent us to others to look after us.
After we grew older,
he sent us to my uncle for education.
My uncle has a
upright disposition.
In addition to my mother's issue
that destroyed my father's life,
my uncle hates those who misbehave
and practice indecent cultivation more than ever.
He instructed Wangji and I
in an extremely strict way
scrupulously.
Every time Wangji and I went to visit her,
She never complained about being grounded
and how painful to be unable to leave one place.
She never asked us about our studies.
Although Wangji never spoke about it,
I knew,
every month he was
expecting the day to meet mother.
He did so,
and so did I.
But one day uncle suddenly said,
we didn't need to go there any more.
Mother's gone.
We were too young
to understand what does "gone" mean.
No matter how others consoled
and how uncle scolded us,
Wangji still came here every month.
Sitting on the porch,
he waited for someone to open the door.
When we're old enough,
we knew mother would never come back.
No one would open the door for him.
But he still came.
Wangji is stubborn since very young.
So Childe Wei,
back then, Wangji
watched you study crafty tricks.
He didn't say anything but I knew
the pain and confusion in his heart,
exactly the way he felt for our mother.
I persuaded Wangji once.
But in turns it's me now,
I finally know
it's so hard to make a resolution.
For all these years,
I thought I know who he is,
but...
Maybe how one
judges the others' personality
all depends on perspectives.
Lan Zhan.
What?
Thank you.
Surely,
it's too flirtatious to say it out loud.
I mean,
the strike you brother had
is tremendous.
After all,
it's Jin Guangyao.
His sworn brother.
If I were him...
If there's evidence,
he won't tolerate it.
True,
even he has good relationship with Jin Guangyao
he's still your biological brother,
and one of Lan clan of Gusu,
who has his own principles.
Well,
you didn't tell him?
Tell him what?
On Qiongqi Road,
the sound of flute?
You know?
I asked Wen Ning,
on Qiongqi Road,
he heard two different sounds of flute.
When that happened
I thought it was my illusion.
Until at Nevernight,
I heard that sound again.
Just one sound.
Only one.
I was too panic
to think that over.
What on earth went wrong?
After I returned to the world,
I sometimes dream about it.
And I started to believe that
the sound of another flute is not an illusion.
After today,
I grow more confident on this idea.
On Qiongqi Road and at Nevernight,
someone used Collection of Turmoil secretly
to alter the instruction of Chenqing.
It's Jin Guangyao.
Maybe
or maybe not.
You don't want to know the answer?
When I just resurrected,
I really did.
But now,
I just want to say
whatever.
Screw it.
Lan Zhan,
actually I feel
whether I know the answer
won't be of much importance for me.
After all, in people's mind,
Yiling Patriarch had done everything bad.
Even now I run out
and yell for my grievance,
no one would trust me.
Sometimes actually,
the world only need an excuse
or a target,
a target everyone hates.
With me,
they can unite together
and think highly of themselves.
Then I figure it out on my own,
even without Jin Guangyao,
without that sound of flute,
there might be someone else,
something else.
We can't tell.
We can hardly tell.
I was lonely back then,
those few who believed me all dead.
Wen Ning.
Senior sister.
Luckily,
in this world,
somebody still trusts you.
Lan Zhan.
Toast to you.
I'm satisfied for having
one true friend.
For nothing else,
but a clean conscience.
No matter how they slander me,
I have a clean conscience.
Lan Zhan.
I'm sorry
and thank you.

What do you mean?
Give it back to second brother.
I've given it to you.
This Pass Jade,
was effective for many years.
Now it lost efficacy,
time to return it to the owner.
Why are you here?
We still don't have information on
Hanguang Jun and Yiling Patriarch.
I stopped them from searching Cloud Recesses,
many clans are skeptical
with many doubts.
Second bro, if it's convenient for you,
please open your gate for about two hours,
so I can
take some folks to make a show to cope with those clans.
Second brother.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
If you worry about Wangji,
then you don't have to.
The integrity of Hanguang Jun
was witnessed by all for years.
What he has done must be due to others' deception.
Besides, he didn't do anything irretrievable yet.
All will be fine if he tell the truth then.
I won't give others
an opportunity to gossip.
"Then".
When is "then"?
After the purge of Burial Mounds.
Burial Mounds?
Since the fight at Jinlintai that day,
there are abnormalities along the way to Burial Mounds.
The puppets appear again.
and they are all heading towards Burial Mounds.
What are they doing exactly?
Don't know yet.
We assume Wei Wuxian
used some magic circle
or summoned puppets by Stygian Tiger Amulet.
At Jinlintai,
he was stabbed by Jin Ling.
He can still do those things?
Second brother,
back then Wei Wuxian defected Jiang clan of Yunmeng.
He was badly wounded
in the fight with Clan leader Jiang.
Yet he could still manipulate puppets when he went back.
To Yiling Patriarch,
nothing is difficult.
Think too highly of me.
Therefore, there will soon be a
second time siege of Burial Mounds.
I've summoned some other clans,
to Jinlintai to discuss it together.
Second brother,
would you come?
Yes.
Wait outside for a moment.
I will go with you later.
Second brother,
do you want to see big brother?
I'm going to bury big brother,
Would you like to see him off?
I will head to Jinlintai.
You go to Burial Mounds.
Split up.
Sure.
If he really has some ulterior motive,
I will not tolerate it.
I know.
Lil' Apple,
go, go!
Let's go.
No reaction.
See? They only love you.
They are loyal to the owner.
Don't try to run.
You can never run away from me.
Stay here, bunny.
Right, Lan Zhan.
It's so strange.
I know it will be a dangerous trip,
but I'm not scared at all.
Do you think it's strange or not?
What do you think?
It's getting late, let's go.
Okay.
Little bunny,
We are leaving.
Let's go, Lil' Apple.
Come on, Lil' Apple.
They are loath to let you go.
I never thought Hanguang Jun
is so popular among little animals.
But I am not.
Why not?
You see,
all the animals regardless their habitat,
they run once they see me.
Am I right? Lil' Apple?
Talk to me, you don't wanna talk again?
Lil' Apple.
Wait for me, Hanguang Jun.
Let's go, Lil' Apple.
Wait for me.
Come on, Lil' Apple.
Now, what should I play?
Lan Zhan, I wonder
back then, at Xuanwu cave in Mount Muxi,
what's the name of the song
you sang to me?
Why you ask this?
Just tell me,
what's the name.
I guess I've figured out
how you recognized me.
Tell me, what song it is.
Who's the composer?
Me.
You composed it.
What's the name then?
What do you think?
Are you asking for my opinion?
I think we can call it...
I'm thirsty, let's find water.
The owner is out.
Let's help ourselves, Hanguang Jun.
Someone's here.
Mianmian,
how many times did I told you,
do not run about when we're out?
You still run so fast.
What if
you ran into Yiling Patriarch who resurrected again,
and his Ghost General,
who might swallow you?
You tell me,
what should your mother and I do?
I'm not afraid.
Mother once said,
those stories are nonsense.
Yiling Patriarch won't bully good people.
Qingyang, you see?
She talks back.
Fine, Mianmian.
Stand straight and listen to dad.
Mianmian.
Who's there, come out!
Nobody.
Come out!
Hanguang Jun?
No matter who it is,
it's someone,
not something.
You are Wei...
Why did this lady know me?
Did I have trouble with her
or mess her up?
No,
I don't know a girl named Qingyang.
Mainmian!
You are Mainmian!
