Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 19
Paper-cutting?
Master!
You think you can fool me
with such a clumsy trick?
Now let’s see
how you put an end to this fuss.
The happy hours are always transient.
Fellow villagers, please be patient.
That was the Goddess of Heart Sect, Butterfly.
You’re right.
She’s the legendary Heavenly Butterfly,
who rises from ashes.
Fairy!
Beautiful!
It’s so pretty.
Gorgeous!
Welcome to join us
in the Heart Sect.
Heart Sect! Heart Sect! Heart Sect!
We’re not done yet!
Heart Sect! Heart Sect! Heart Sect!
Wu,
are you OK?
My emotion flipped just now.
Nearly got me into the demon world.
But, Wang Lu’s paper-cutting was turned to ashes.
Wang Lu?
What did he do
that flipped your emotion?
He accidentally
impersonated Shang.
Wu,
promise me.
You have to live happily.
I’ll come back.
If it was not me
and Hai’s coordination,
the Heart Sect would be ruined
at the initial stage
for such a huge mistake.
How are we going to compete with Qianling Sect?
All right.
The ambassador was turned to ashes.
And you still have the mood to boast.
Let’s figure out the following plan.
The following plan?
We take things into our own hands.
No.
How can a man act like that on the stage?
Better find another way.
No, no, no.
I really think Lu’s idea
is great.
I think you’re just flattering him.
I can’t agree.
I’m serious.
Didn’t you find out
Qianling Sect has a lot more male disciples
than female ones?
You’re right.
That’s because the Fairy Group’s fans
tend to be bachelors and middle-aged men.
In another word,
in Wuhou County,
there are plenty of potential customers,
especially female customers.
If we make a boys group
at this particular juncture,
we’ll become the idol.
That’s what I mean.
Wang Lu.
Though I don't quite understand what you said,
I have to make it clear.
I’m tone deaf and fat.
So I choose not to be the burden for you.
I think you and Hai
must look brilliant on the stage.
What’s the core competitiveness of a boy group?
It’s personalized image.
That’s the trick to draw attention.
Wen Bao,
have faith in yourself.
But I’m never on the tune.
Who has ever been on the tune?
We can perform auto-tune with magic.
In the worst case, we can use lip-synching.
Auto-tune?
Lip-synching?
All we need is this.
We record Master He’s songs.
Wen Bao,
you just do lip-synching on the stage.
Lingjian Mountain Silvertone Speaker
allows you to have melodious voice.
A trumpet for an idol-to-be.
The must-have of a concert.
You deserve to have one.
Lingjian Speaker only charges 688.
Lingjian Speaker, all you need for singing.
But Lu,
my voice is a bit old for him.
That makes him mature.
Girls like mature boys.
Adorable boy, husky voice.
Come on, Heart Boys.
Let’s get it.
One, two, three.
Like this.
How dare they
compete with us on the potential disciples?
How dare they?
Your useless performance is to be blamed.
You can’t even attract those men.
What’s with your ill face?
Do you think it’s a funeral?
Get on with your training.
Whatever idea that brat comes out,
you do the same
and win those men who belong
to us over.
Understand?
Louder!
Yes.
Now let’s see
without that woman,
what you are going to do.
Liuli.
What are you doing here?
I...
I’m hungry.
So I got something to eat.
I saw you were training here.
This is for you.
What’s the matter?
I’ve checked the corns
with the charm you gave me.
It’s fresh.
It’s not about the corn.
It’s because Master Wang disappeared tonight.
So I’ll have to perform
on the stage tomorrow.
But no matter how I train,
I can’t reach the level Lu said
that enables a trainee to debut.
So I have to stay up for the training.
A trainee?
What is that?
No matter what, Hai,
you’re so keen
on just a performance.
Liuli, you don’t know.
Due to physical problems,
I’m weak on my attacking.
In this field practice,
I know you’re taking care of me.
So on this matter,
I don’t want to drag you behind.
You won’t.
Hai?
Your expertise is the supportive magic.
Like the charms you gave me,
they're very handy.
It’s a pity
that none enables me to be a good dancer.
Excuse me,
I have to focus on my training.
Go on with it.
Hai?
I got it.
Hai, your steps and your postures
are all good.
The problems lies in the way
your train yourself.
What do you mean?
When I practice magic,
my master often tells me
that Kungfu is learned and improved
in combat.
That I can’t work it out alone.
So I guess
it’s the same trick with dancing.
You should practice with your partner.
But just now
you didn’t take your partner in consideration.
That’s why your steps and your postures
looked uncoordinated.
So I should practice
with my partner?
Yes.
A viewer’s opinion is valuable.
Liuli, you’ve enlightened me.
I’ll go find Lu.
It’s late. Lu’s probably asleep.
It’s OK.
I can be your partner.
What’s the fun of it?
It’s all the same.
Just the performance we’ve watched.
Nothing new.
Boring.
I’m done.
Let’s go.
No good.
Let’s go.
I’m done, too.
Just the same girls.
Hold on.
I’m leaving, too.
Boring.
Welcome to our boys group,
the Heart Boys
to give you the song, Sweetie.
They are Hai Yunfan, Wen Bao!
Pick an apple
Wait for you to pass
And give it to you to quench your thirst
Like Cola in summer
Or coco in winter
You’re the right girl appears at the right time
We’ve had an appointment
To spend the next weekends
I like your petty emotions
I don’t know why
My feelings are still hurt
You just burst in my heart
You let me see the blossom in desert
You give me the impulse to write songs for you
In the most romantic hook
You sing with me
I see the firmness in your eyes
You make my world turn pink
You make me get used to the life with you
Love is like an exquisite sculpture
I’m Michelangelo
I make sculpture of our love
Wen Bao, Wen Bao, I love you!
I’m with you forever!
Wen Bao, Wen Bao!
Hai!
I’m with you forever!
Wen Bao, Wen Bao, I love you!
I’m with you forever!
Wen Bao, Wen Bao, I love you!
I’m with you forever!
I make sculpture of our love
Stop it!
The guests are all gone!
Get lost.
The key to the new idols
is innovation.
The old stuff is bound to be abandoned.
Don’t bother imitating.
Try harder!
Mr. Zhou.
Wang Lu.
We’re not done yet!
Good job, Wen Bao!
Impressive!
If I knew I could get so many gifts,
so many foods,
and more importantly,
so many girls to love me,
I should have volunteered to be the idol
the first time we showed up at Lingxi Town.
Now you want to be an idol?
Yes, I do.
Let me be the idol for the next decade or two.
I’ll be thrilled.
In your dreams.
Wang Lu.
You’d better keep in mind
the purpose we come here
is to eliminate Qianling Sect,
not to enjoy the local cuisine
and have fun.
Trust me.
I have my plans.
It’s been only two days since we formed the group.
We barely get a firm foothold.
In a few days,
when all the Qianling Sect’s followers
turn to Heart Sect,
let’s deal with them.
I’m with you.
Besides, Master He,
I always want to ask you a question.
What do you want
to advocate
blood donation?
Blood is not valuable.
To be honest,
I don’t know.
The leader...
I have never met
the old fool.
As to what he does with the blood,
it’s not something for me to worry.
We just collect the blood
and ask nothing about its use.
That’s weird.
Where is Liuli?
Wang Lu.
I’ll have a look.
Darling.
You’re all alone.
Why don’t you go home?
I got it.
You have no place to live.
Let’s go.
Come to my home.
I have lots of tasty snacks at home.
Tasty snacks?
Do you have corns?
The snacks at my place
are far more delicious.
You’ll see if you come with me.
OK.
You can’t go with him.
He’s not a good man.
Brat!
Who are you
to ruin my mood?
Amazing!
Hai.
You said he’s not a good man.
He must be a bad man.
Foods from a bad man,
however tasty they may be, must be bad, too.
I won’t take them.
You...
You’re so gluttonous.
If a skillful fighter from an evil sect
attempts you with a corn,
you’re prone to unseen attacks.
But corns are indeed very delicious.
I got it.
I won’t be so gluttonous anymore.
Is that OK?
Besides,
what if you run into bad people?
If I run into bad people,
I’ll do what you’ve done.
Punch him in the face.
What do you think?
That’s more like it.
All right.
Let’s go.
Where are you going?
I heard
there’s a corn shop in the west of the town.
They won’t close until midnight.
Let’s get you something to chew on.
What?
Don’t want to go?
I...
I want to.
Hai, you’re so good to me.
You’re the kindest soul.
Come on, let’s go.
Isn’t that Lu’s pals?
- Come on. - Who is the girl with him?
Is she
the idol’s secret lover?
Tomorrow,
you’ll become the public enemies.
Welcome to our boys group,
the Heart Boys
to give you their new song,
Tree Ring.
The tree rings are like fingerprint
Printing on my lips
The bitter memories of the hickey
Is the root
Seasons roll over
The tree blocks the dusk
I’m all alone in the cold night
Waiting for the dawn
The poisonous hatred in the world
Is love without root
But it never hurts you
I’m a fool
Though a barren land my youth is
I’d still have peace
The one who accompanies me
Is the tree ring
Counting the rings
I carefully seal up the past
It’s also my dignity
The changes to our parting
I admit I dreamed of eternity
But I’m all alone in this drama
Counting the rings
I carefully seal up the past
It’s also my dignity
The changes to our parting
I admit I dreamed of eternity
But I’m all alone in this drama
I need to expose them.
Who is this? Get off.
Last night…
Get off!
I saw this man and this girl
hugging each other on the street.
What are you talking about?
He knows exactly
what I’m saying.
Liar! Liar!
That’s not true!
I don’t believe it.
Liar!
It’s not like that.
Last night, it was you who...
It’s not like that?
Does that mean
you just admitted that it was you and her
last night?
Impossible! I don’t believe it. Liar!
Darling.
You’re too innocent.
Don’t be afraid.
What did he do to you last night?
Feel free to tell us.
Who are you?
Did Qianling Sect pay you to make the scene?
She’s young.
You tell us.
What is your relationship
with her?
Yes, what is she to you?
We...
We’re just friends.
Really?
Give us an explanation.
We believe you.
We believe she’s a friend.
She must have misled you into this.
Explain it to us.
Does she lie to you?
Say something.
She’s a liar. She has to be.
That’s not true!
Liuli!
Calm down!
They’re subverted.
Calm down!
Hold it!
Liuli!
Look!
Take a look!
As an idol,
Hai Yunfan
did such despicable things.
They have no shame.
Despicable couple.
Watch out!
Shameless.
Smack them.
Despicable couple.
Liar!
Liar! Liar!
He cheats our feelings!
Liar!
Smack him!
Liar! Liar!
He cheats our feelings!
Wang Lu.
It’s not your lucky day.
Liar!
Watch out!
Liuli.
Liuli. Liuli.
Wang Lu.
You should have known
you’ll end up like this
since the day you undermined me.
What makes you can also destroy you.
If you know it,
you wouldn’t have fallen into this.
Liar!
Liar! Liar!
Liuli.
Liar! Liar! Liar!
Guys.
Guys, I understand how you feel right now.
But please listen to me.
Allow me to tell you
what happened between them.
It’s in an afternoon after a drizzle when Hai
met Liuli.
She was
standing under the apricot blossom,
gazing at a swing.
He played swing with her all the afternoon.
Since they met,
they’ve been best friends,
childhood sweet hearts.
They grew up together, played together
and left their home together
on a path of cultivation.
They lived happily together
until,
like a fragile china
or the beautiful clouds in the sky,
a mission they took
to protect the villagers,
they were ambushed.
To save Hai, Liuli
suffered severe trauma
in her head.
She lost her memories.
She’s 5 or 6 years old mentally.
Just a little girl.
But Hai never abandons her.
He took an oath
to protect her for the rest of her life
until death parts them,
though he knows
that she would never remember the past.
Sad story is always good for ratings.
Master!
The young master got off Junhuang Mountain
while General and Madam is out for training.
What should we do?
Find him before General comes back.
Let’s go.
Master!
Merely an Invisible Charm
fools you around.
You want to catch me?
It’s rare that my parents and brother are out.
I can’t go back like that.
How do you feel?
Girl?
Who...
Who killed so many people here?
Miss,
how do you feel?
Come on.
Miss,
how do you feel?
Mom.
I’m afraid.
Are you all right?
Miss,
hang on.
I’ll take you to someplace safe.
Miss,
you wake up.
Here.
Don’t be afraid.
I’m not a bad person, really.
What about those people in the woods?
They...
They’re gone.
Are they your families?
Judging from the scene,
probably those men practicing evil magic did it.
Forgive me, Miss,
I shouldn’t have brought it up
at this particular moment.
You’re bleeding.
Just a scratch. I’m fine.
Your job now is to get better.
I’ve searched miles around the place.
No household is found.
The herbs are all I found.
I’ll make the medicine.
Drink it.
I’ve tried some.
It’s not bitter at all.
Sorry.
It was my fault.
I startled you.
So,
I made this as my apology.
That’s the only thing I can make.
Look,
the bunny
has something to tell you.
Sweet girl,
let’s drink the medicine, OK?
If you drink it up, I’ll sing for you.
I’ve performed
a sound player charm on this pendent.
It was found so soon.
You’re really smart.
Miss,
I know it must be hard for you.
But you have to believe
that as long as you hang on, there’ll be hope.
Drink it while it’s warm.
I’ll find something for you to eat.
Sorry, I wake you up.
You’re not burning anymore.
Have some soup.
It’s hot.
I just made it.
Tastes good. Thank you.
Have more if you like it.
There’s more in the pot.
Besides,
I haven’t told you.
I’m Hai,
from Junhuang Mountain.
What’s your name?
Master Hai!
Gosh!
I have to go now.
If they find me here, I’ll be doomed.
Take the badge.
Come to find me at Junhuang Mountain with this.
Farewell.
You have to come!
