The Untamed
Episode 44
No matter who it is,
it's someone,
not something.
You are Wei...
Mainmian!
You are Mianmian!
Why you call my daughter's name?
Mianmian and her little Mianmian.
Lady Luo.
Hanguang Jun.
Childe Wei.
Lady Luo.
This time,
I finally know your true name.
This is my husband.
May I ask, which family and clan do you come from, sir?
My husband isn't a cultivator.
He used to be a businessman.
But now,
he is willing to accompany me to go night hunting.
You just came back from night hunting?
Yeah.
We were looking for Yiling Patriarch.
But I heard
that he would eat children.
Do you fear or not?
No, I'm not.
I...
I'm sorry. Childe Wei.
She's too young and naive.
This is my daughter.
Her name is...
Mianmian!
Am I right?
She's cute,
just like you when you were at her age.
Childe Wei,
don't you feel guilty when you say this?
Do you really remember what I looked like as a child?
Of course.
Not much difference.
By the way, how old is she?
I'd like to give her some lucky money.
You don't have to!
Don't be so polite.
It's not my money anyway.
Here you are.
Mianmian,
what should you say to Hanguang Jun and Childe Wei?
Thank you, Hanguang Jun.
Mianmian,
I gave you the money.
Why you didn't say "thank you" to me?
Lady Luo,
is there anything unusual recently?
Just hearsay though,
I heard there are puppets outside the city.
I spent a whole night to track them last night,
but nothing was found.
Don't be afraid.
Lady Luo,
protect Mianmian.
We can deal with it.
Please be careful.
Farewell.
Qingyang,
have you
ever been in fatal danger?
And,
you said Childe Wei saved your life once
but I have never heard
you mentioned him in front of me.
As for Childe Wei,
he's just a good man.
Let's go, Mianmian.
Let's get inside.
Take it slow.
Wen Ning,
though you kept silent for years,
your yelling has gotten even scarier.
Sorry, Childe.
Have I scared you two?
So astonishing.
This. What's this?
Why you dress in this way?
Were you robbed by someone?
And what happened to your face?
I powdered my face with mud and dust on the ground.
I saw you didn't come out long time after you went in.
So...
You were following us all the time?
Look at yourself. So messy!
How's your hands?
Fine.
Blood.
Not blood.
It's blood.
But not human's blood.
Not human's blood?
You fought with something?
Along the way, there are many puppets.
Many puppets along the way?
You mean
that you've cleared them out
before our arrival?
Then when did you start following us?
Jinlintai.
Wen Ning,
I've told you
to hide yourself somewhere
and stay out of all the mess.
But Childe,
I...
where can I hide?
Let's go,
together with us.
Let's travel together.
Move.
Let's go.
Lan Zhan,
do you remember this town?
Yes.
Then do you still remember
when we met each other in the town,
you said you were going to night hunting
and I wanted to treat you with a meal?
Remember that?
Childe,
local fresh fruits in Yiling.
Have some? Buy one?
There, there.
Do you need? Spices of high quality.
Have a look, here.
Have a look, over here.
Yes.
Since you seldom come to Yiling
and we meet each other luckily,
let's have a nostalgic talk.
Let's go, my treat.
Come on.
But it's a little shameful to say
it's you who payed at last.
Yuan. Yuan.
- Come here. Here. - No.
No. I don't want to.
Damn, something happens in Burial Mounts.
Lan Zhan, we have to go now.
But that happened long ago.
If that boy were still alive,
he should be a teenager now.
Don't waste time on them.
Go up the mountain directly.
Walls were pulled down.
As expected, someone got in here.
Let's go.
Childe Wei,
this is the my homemade liquor.
Have a taste.
Yuan.
Run slowly and be careful.
Childe, it's my fault.
I'm sorry and thank you.
Childe Wei.
Back then that siege
has ruined all.
Then, let it be so.
No matter to me
or to Wen Qing and Wen Ning,
this place
represents the hardest time in our life.
No need to return to the old place again.
Wen Ning,
Stop looking, let's go.
Yes, Childe.
I just want to check
if there's anything left?
Be careful!
For defense.
Thank you.
I haven't used the sword for so long a time
and I'm not used to it.
Fine. I'll tell you.
In fact it's because this body of mine
lacks in spiritual power,
even the best sword
can't show its true power in my hand.
Therefore,
Hanguang Jun
please protect this fragile feeble man.
Wait.
Say,
why you just stabbed him
instead of cutting his throw?
They have left for days.
What do they want at all?
Torture or death, just give it to us.
I prefer being eaten by monsters in night hunting
than starving to death in this shit hole.
His intention is clear!
He must want to turn us into his puppets
just like he did in Nevernight,
and use us to combat with our families
making them hesitate to fight back.
Let enemies fight each other.
Mean bastard Wei,
he has no humanity.
Shut up.
Why shall I shut up?
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
Are you deaf or stupid?
Can't you understand language?
"Shut up" means
"stopping talking".
How dare you order me to shut up?
What's the use of twaddling here?
Will the rope be broken if you keep talking?
It only can make noises.
You!
Enough, you two must stop here.
We are trapped here
with many puppets on the mountain which may break in anytime.
You two must bicker at this point?
It's him who started first!
Why?
Why can't I swear while you can?
Jin Ling, who you think you are?
You think Lianfang Zun could become His Excellency,
so will you?
I won't shut up.
What can you do to me?
You want a fight?
Fine, let's do it.
I'm just in the sulk now.
You poor bastard without maternal love!
Stop!
Stop! Calm down!
What are you doing? Calm down!
Stop! It's not time for fighting.
- Calm down! - Stop.
Is it a good timing for fighting?
- Thinking a method. - Stop!
Stop!
Jin Ling.
Stop! Stop!
Look here.
Hanguang Jun. Hanguang Jun.
Why you are so delighted?
They are on the same side.
Ghost General. Ghost General. Ghost General.
Ghost General.
It turns out as for intimidation
I'm no better than Wen Ning.
Run. Run.
No, there are puppets outside.
Mo...
Senior Wei,
you've come to save us!
It's not you who sent people to catch us, right?
Me?
You know how poor I am.
How can I have such a great sum of money to hire them?
I knew that you are tragically poor long before.
Good boy.
How many people are the enemies?
Is there any ambush around here?
There were several people
all covered with a ghost-mask.
So we couldn't see their faces.
We are bundled up and left alone here
as if they want to leave us here to fate.
By the way
there are many puppets outside there
and yelling all the time.
Well done.
It's really "well done".
Even Sizhui would fight with others.
Just now,
just now I was seized with an impulse.
Childe Jin.
What are you guys doing here?
Surrounding him like lasagna.
Lan Zhan.
It can't be that you want to stab him again?
- I... - Jingyi.
That's enough.
Can we just get out first?
Yes.
What?
You want to stay here?
There are so many puppets outside.
You ask us to get out...
to die?
Childe.
I'll disperse them.
Deity-biding Ropes have been untided.
At worst we together can fight our way through them.
If you stay here,
what if these puppets come in after we leave?
Judging from the cave's structure,
they can get you like a turtle in a pot.
Let's go.
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Wen Ning, what happened?
I'm fine.
Jin Ling, come here.
Uncle.
Wen Ning, stay here first.
Dad!
Go, quickly!
Jin Ling, what are you waiting for?
Waiting for death?
Mom!
Uncle!
- Senior brother. - Dad.
Dad, you are here finally!
Wangji.
Come here.
Hanguang Jun,
what happened to you?
You've become someone else.
In the past he was your enemy.
and you two were irreconcilable.
What method did Yiling Patriarch take
to delude you,
so you stand against us?
If that's the truth,
you are beneath your good reputation.
Here you go again.
Sure, we have to.
If you, Yiling Patriarch, hadn't started
to make puppets so blatantly
on your returning to the world,
and kidnapped disciples of various clans,
we wouldn't have come here so quickly
to visit your den.
It was me who saved those disciples.
Why aren't you grateful
but criticize me?
Anyway
your group to repress me
is a little too shabby this time
and two important persons are missing.
May I ask
in such grand occasion
why Zewu Jun and Lianfang Zun are absent?
On the other day, Lianfang Zun
was assassinated by someone unknown
and was badly hurt.
Now Zewu Jun is trying his utmost to save him.
Why do you ask since you already knew it?
Why do you laugh?
Nothing.
I just simply think
that Lianfang Zun is so easily to be hurt.
Dad,
= Clan Leader Ouyang = Dad,
= Clan Leader Ouyang =
I feel it might really not be done by him. = Clan Leader Ouyang =
I feel it might really not be done by him.
Last time when we were at Coffin Town
it was him who saved us.
And this time he seems to come to our rescue.
Don't speak nonsense, you silly child.
Do you know what occasion this is?
Do you know what people they are?
Why Nie clan of Qinghe didn't come?
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
Emm, brother Wei.
I don't know nothing about this.
I'm here just for making up the number.
Wei Wuxian,
do you remember me?
No.
You don't remember me
but my leg does.
My leg
was disabled by you
that night at Nevernight.
Showing that to you
is to tell you
= Yi Weichun = is to tell you
= Yi Weichun =
that I am a member of this group = Yi Weichun =
that I am a member of this group
who gather today to siege you.
Due to your bad karma, retributions come finally.
-Yes. - Yeah!
Wei Wuxian,
I won't ask you whether remember or not.
My parents were killed by you.
Since you've killed so many people
you must have forgotten them.
But I, Fang Mengcheng, won't!
Nor will I forgive you!
I got your leg disabled?
I killed your parents?
Or massacred your whole family?
Then why do you come here?
I'm here to participate in the fight
is to inform you
that everyone is willing to kill one
who committed a crime against people's benefit.
No matter what dirty method you take
and no matter how many times you can resurrect,
we'll send you back time again!
Not for else
but for justice only.
- Yeah. - Wei Wuxian must die!
Wei Wuxian must die! Wei Wuxian must die!
There is still justice in the world!
The evil won't be tolerated!
Not for else,
just to prove that there is still justice in the world!
The evil won't be tolerated!
My son was cut in the throat by your flunky Wen Ning
during that fight on Qiongqi Road!
Wei Wuxian must die! Wei Wuxian must die!
The debt of three thousand lives
can't be evened up even if you died million times.
Three thousand lives?
That night at Nevernight
truly there were three thousand cultivators present
but their clan leaders were also there
as well as those elite cultivators.
With their presence,
I could really kill all
three thousand people there?
Is it that you think too highly of me
or you think too poorly of them?
Wei Wuxian,
do you think we are having a discussion here?
Can blood debts be bargained?
I'm not bargaining on this.
But I won't accept my charges were added casually
just because of some irresponsible words.
I won't admit
what I didn't do.
It's not you
then who did it?
I don't have evidence to prove it now
as for Qiongqi Road and Nevernight.
But I can tell you
that Red Blade Master wasn't killed by me
and the suicide of Mrs. Jin in Jinlintai
wasn't forced by me.
And those puppets you encountered
along your way up here
weren't manipulated by me.
Yiling Patriarch
I only heard that you are arrogant
but I didn't know you are so modest.
If it were not you,
I can't think up another man
in this world
could manipulate so many puppets
which fazed us like this.
It's actually easy.
Anyone with the Stygian Tiger Amulet
can do that.
Isn't Stygian Tiger Amulet yours?
The question should be
who is the one being so fond of it?
Just like Wen Ning.
Some clan though are so terrified by Ghost General,
and shouting that they would kill him,
yet he was secretly hidden by them for more than ten years.
So strange,
who's the one that told me
Wen Ning had been executed and cremains were scattered?
Stop confusing right and wrong!
Be careful!
Another wave of puppets are coming!
What happened?
I lost my spiritual power.
Dame! Me too.
We are trapped.
Everyone.
Come here!
Get inside the Demon-Subdue Place!
There is a big magic circle on the ground inside.
If we mend it up
it can hold them back for a while.
We can't get inside!
That must be his plan to lure us in!
There must be more dangerous trap
waiting for us!
Staying outside will get you killed.
Getting inside will also get you killed.
Either way is dead end.
But at least getting in will help you stall.
Clan Leader Su,
why you are in such a hurry to ask everyone to die with you?
What's your intention?
Will you enter or not?
I'll just get inside myself if you don't.
- Quickly. - Hurry up!
Go. Go. Go.
Dad, let's go!
Let's go! If they want to hurt us,
they should have already done it.
Hurry up!
There's really a big magic circle inside.
Clan Leader Su,
still stay here?
Fine. Fine.
Then stay here.
You are such a brave.
Lan Zhan!
Come in!
How can we mend the magic circle?
Uncle.
What do you want?
Nothing.
Since we are here,
let's have a chat.
There is nothing to talk
between us and you.
Yeah, nothing to talk about.
Is there really nothing to talk about?
I don't believe it.
Aren't you interested in the reason
why you got poisoned?
Poisoned?
I swear
I'm not that capable
to poison you all
without being discovered.
Yeah.
I think what he said makes sense.
That's it.
I guess that you didn't have time to have a meal together
before coming here to siege me.
Thus
you aren't poisoned by food.
That shouldn't be poison.
I never heard any poison can dissipate one's spiritual power.
Otherwise this poison
would be pursued with gold by all cultivators in the world
and news about it will spread all over.
Right.
Come. Doctor.
Where is the doctor?
Doctor, come here.
Look at me.
The dissipation of power
is perpetual or temporary?
Yeah.
Your golden cores are all safe and sound.
Don't worry.
This is temporary.
That's fine. That's fine.
Temporal?
How long is it?
When can we recover?
I'm afraid it takes at least four hours.
Four hours?
Four hours. What should we do now?
Four hours!
How can the newly-mended magic circle defend us
for four hours?
Brother Wei,
what should we do now?
I've told you not to look at me.
Now there are only two groups of people who still have their spiritual power.
I and Lan Zhan are one group
and the other group are these young men who were taken here
several days ago.
As for the rest
I don't think it's inappropriate
to describe you as weak and useless.
If I really want to do something to you
can these young men stop me?
Cut off these nonsense,
kill me if you want.
All people here
won't even hum when they meet their death.
-Yeah.- You're right!
Don't wish that we would beg for mercy.
May I ask that
who are you?
- You! - Then what?
It's not poison.
Then what's it?
Then,
people won't lose their spiritual power out of no reason.
So there must be a way or an opportunity.
Can anyone recollect
what did you do before you came here?
Well.
We all drank some water on our way up here.
I can't recall it.
I don't know.
No one drank any water along the way.
Who dares drink the water in the Burial Mounds?
- Yeah. - Who dares?
It may be that we all inhaled the fog in the mountain.
Yeah, this may be right.
Impossible.
The fog is denser on the top of the mountain
but we still got spiritual power
after two days being bundled up here.
Enough.
How can you have a serious discussion with him?
Being guided by your enemy.
Is it interesting?
He...
Continue.
Why you stop?
Clan Leader. Clan Leader.
What happened?
Wei Wuxian, what wicked tricks did you use?
This is not a wicked trick.
This...
Silencing Charm!
Continue.
So strange.
Senior Wei, what's so strange?
Our Clan Leader Su here
is strange since we were outside.
When puppets surrounded us
he appealed to those who lost their spiritual power
to give up resistance
and just die together.
Now he tries to stop me,
from figuring out the situation
and keeps provoking me.
He's afraid that you may survive this.
This doesn't make sense.
How can an ally be so?
It seems you Su clan of Molin
really has a terrible relationship with Lan clan of Gusu.
Indeed.
Su clan of Molin
is a branch from Lan clan of Gusu.
What's the story?
You may not know that, Senior Nie.
Clan Leader Su
built up his own clan
after departing from Lan clan of Gusu.
Their exclusive techniques are similar to those of Lan clan
and they are also good at music.
Even
clan leader's first-class spiritual tool
is modeled after Hanguang Jun's quaint seven-string Qin.
Not "departing from".
They were expelled
for betraying Lan clan.
Not only this
the more funny ones are following.
This Clan Leader Su...
Fine. I know that I should lower my voice.
This Clan Leader Su not only imitates everything from us
and he forbids people discussing
that he is imitating our Hanguang Jun
or he'll become mad instantly.
Jingyi.
How come there is such kind of people in this world?
What a Lan clan of Gusu
who takes elegance and integrity as motto!
With so many famed cultivators,
as the top of cultivation world,
you instructed your disciples in this way?
Clan Leader Su
now facing strong enemies
we shouldn't clash with our allies.
- Yeah. - Right.
Allies?
All of them from Lan clan of Gusu
are in a good term with Wei Wuxian.
How can they be called allies?
Su Minshan!
Even if you aren't a member of Lan clan of Gusu now,
you should be careful of what you say.
Our clan leader has already departed from your clan.
Who are you speaking to him like this?
The position he achieves today
benefited from the education of Gusu.
What?
Can't we mention that when you smear our fame?
There are so many disciples in Lan clan of Gusu.
Can everyone of them build their own clan?
Aren't you being too arrogant?
Arrogant?
Who's the one being arrogant?
Which clan's Demon-Subdue Melody
was played with many faults
while they were unconscious of it?
Neither fog nor food.
Do you forget that
you've done the same one thing
after getting up here?
What's it?
Killing puppets.
Enough.
If there were any difference after killing puppets
we aren't so dumb to ignore it.
It's really related to killing puppets.
Yet the problem is not on the puppets
but people who killed them.
Old Master Lan,
may I ask you a question?
If you have any question,
why not ask him
but me?
Then I'll ask him.
Lan Zhan,
the Su clan of Molin
though departed from Lan clan of Gusu,
they imitated the exclusive technique
from Lan clan of Gusu,
right?
Yeah.
One of the exclusive techniques of Lan clan of Gusu,
Evil Destroyer Music, can exorcise the evil.
Among them, the ancient seven-string Qin is the most profound.
That's why many people of Lan practice Qin.
Su clan of Molin imitate your clan
so many disciples of them practice Qin too.
Is it right?
Yes.
The clan leader of Su clan
though left Lan clan of Gusu with techniques learned
and built his own section.
But due to the fact that his technique in playing Qin
didn't reach the peak of perfection,
so his disciples also play with many mistakes, right?
Yeah.
That's to say
even if they played a passage wrongly
in the battle music of Su clan of Molin
when killing the puppets in the Burial Mounds,
Lan clan of Gusu won't mind at all.
You'd only think that they learned it poorly
and confused the music score,
rather than figuring that they did it accidentally
or on purpose.
Is it right?
Clan Leader Su,
what are you doing?
Don't forget
that you've lost your spiritual power now.
Will it work if you threaten me in this way?
What are you insinuating
by keeping talking my stuff?
Did I express it so implicitly
so you think I'm insinuating?
Fine,
let me make it clearer.
All people here lost their spiritual power
because of killing puppets.
When they were killing puppets,
this Clan Leader Su
got up the mountain with you
and pretended to play his Qin to drive the evil things.
The fact is that he already changes
a part of the battle music secretly
into another piece of melody
which can deprive people of spiritual power temporarily.
When you were fighting with your lives,
he seemed to be fighting with you
but played tricks behind you.
You are slandering.
There must be many cultivators of Qin
from Lan clan of Gusu present, right?
When you were on your way up here,
did you notice the battle music of Su clan of Molin
was played wrongly?
Exactly.
Clan Leader Su,
since you knew that many people in Lan clan of Gusu
despise you and your clan,
you thus took advantage of it.
Even if you played it wrongly
only Lan clan of Gusu could notice it
among all clans here.
But people from Lan clan
didn't care to mind you.
So even if they did notice,
they might think
you guys are poor learners.
Is there really such an evil melody
to deprive one of spiritual power temporarily?
Yes, there is.
Since the sound of Qin can subdue the evil,
why can't it summon the evil?
There is a secret Dongying anthology
called Collection of Turmoil
which records techniques killing people unconsciously
through altering the melody.
If you don't believe it,
you're welcome to ask old Master Lan
if there is such book in the Forbidden Chamber
of Cloud Recesses.
Granted that there is,
when I was apprenticing in Lan clan of Gusu,
I was never allowed to enter there.
Who said you have to get in there yourself?
As long as the man behind you
could get in without limitation it'll do.
I suppose your way to alter the music
was taught by him too, right?
