Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 22
Leader,
I owe my life to you.
It's my long-cherished wish
to serve you
and accomplish the great work.
Don’t come closer!
Stop there!
Hai!
He is possessed by the Black Tide
and he wants to kill Wen Bao and Hai!
No,
I have to help them.
Hai!
Don’t touch my friends!
Father!
It’s me! I’m Li!
Wait,
once the Black Tide breaks through the confinement,
it will shatter the Qingmu Mark,
then the world will
be devastated.
Father, what’s wrong?
Can’t you recognize me?
Father.
Go…
Go now!
- Now! - No!
I can’t!
I can’t leave you alone.
Master!
Finally, you’re here.
What happened?
Let me deal with the monster possessed
by the Black Tide first.
Master!
Luna Eclipse.
Wang Wu,
the Liumang Poisonous Blood
in your body is affected by the eclipse.
You can’t even save yourself.
How could you stop me?
Father!
I’m Ye Li!
Wake up!
Father!
Wang Lu, do it now!
Wang Lu,
take care of Hai for me.
I’m in.
Are you insane?
Exchange, right?
One life for one life.
Not a big deal.
And,
we are both the chosen ones,
maybe my blood is more precious than yours.
Here is it!
We succeed!
Ye Li?
I can’t get rid of this destiny.
But I can at least save Liuli.
After I leave,
she can carry on with her life.
Wang Lu,
take care of her for me
so that she can continue
to live simply,
OK?
Master Wang,
here is my last request.
Help me to cast
a spell on Hai so that
he can forget everything about me,
OK?
Four years ago, I was ordered to collect blood.
Unexpectedly, I met a practitioner.
I killed him,
but I was seriously injured.
Then,
I met Hai.
I wanted to kill him,
but I couldn't do it because of my injury.
Hai mistook me for a victim
and took good care of me.
The guilt of killing was haunting me,
but Hai warmed me
in his way.
Mother!
I’m scared!
Mother!
What happened?
Stay away from me!
Miss…
Don’t come closer!
Wait for me, I’ll be back soon.
It’s not dark now, right?
Look at these fireflies,
don’t they look like the stars?
Well,
are there more stars,
or more fireflies?
The stars, of course.
Don’t be so sure.
I think the fireflies are more.
I’ve caught so many of them.
Still, the stars are more.
We can count it.
Let's see who counts faster.
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8…
1, 2…
I got mixed up.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13…
You counted that one!
13, 14,
15, 16, 17…
He said that light can be seen in the dark,
but he did not know
that he was my light.
I didn't even have
the courage to tell him my name before he left.
You can call me Hai.
You can take this badge
when you come to Junhuang Mountain for me.
You must come.
So, when he left,
I cast an Oblivious Charm on him.
He forgot everything about me.
My name is Ye Li.
Farewell.
After that, I found that I was
more and more unable to face the killing,
which led to the personality of Liuli Xian.
Maybe it was also due to Hai.
I hope I can be as pure and happy
as Liuli.
Only in this way
can I stay with Hai.
Accidently,
I was taken back to Lingjian Mountain by my master
and I met Hai again.
While I was there,
I dared not let Ye Li appear,
but I could see
everything you did,
and I always gave him a hand secretly
when Hai was in trouble.
But this time,
Hai found my badge by accident,
and restored the memory of that time
by mistake during the performance.
But with my identity,
I can’t have a happy ending with Hai.
That’s why I said those cruel words
to him.
I don’t know you.
And I’m not Liuli.
Then why are you keeping the badge I gave you?
This is the history between us.
But the past is the past.
So you want him to forget you
again like four years ago?
I’m a sinner.
I’m content enough
to be cared about by Hai
and to have this relationship.
But Liuli Xian shouldn’t bear all this,
Hai shouldn’t bear such pain either.
So, let’s forget all these things.
It’s good for us all.
Master Wang,
please.
I know Hai is carrying
some secrets and hatred.
I can understand him.
Wang Lu.
Please,
stay with Hai for me.
He can’t be blinded by hatred.
He should live in light.
Promise me,
OK?
OK.
I’m so glad…
I’m so glad
to meet you all.
Ye Li.
Hai, are you all right?
It’s weird.
I feel like something important in my heart
disappeared suddenly.
Liuli!
How is she?
She is fine.
Lord Tianlun did all these.
We have defeated him.
Liuli has fallen asleep.
Come here.
Take her back for rest first.
Master,
will Liuli and Hai
forget all this?
You have seen it just now.
It’s good to forget it.
Maybe, Ye Li is right.
This is the best ending for them.
It’s sad
that their memory about each other
disappeared.
Alright,
stop being sentimental.
Tell me,
what did you mean by Ouyang Shang’s lover?
Master, I was telling the truth.
Unless you admit now that
you never had a relationship with him.
It’s all your imagination.
Brat.
What’s wrong with Ouyang Shang?
How could he
like a vicious and stingy woman like you?
I bet you’re his only flaw.
He knows how to appreciate
the true beauty of women.
You don't need to understand.
However,
you looked brave enough just now
to compete with
only one of his fingernails.
We’re different.
At least I’m not so blind like him
who likes a vicious and stingy woman like you.
You don’t deserve me.
Right, Master,
what was the injury on you
when the Luna Eclipse started?
What Luna Eclipse? I don’t understand.
I’m a kung fu master.
I was just
a little drunk then.
So I was a little dizzy.
Stop lying. Ling has told me
that you always
suffer sharp pain at full moon nights.
Drinking is only to relieve the pain, right?
Annoying.
None of your business.
I’ve been in pain for years.
But I’m still skilled
for it every month.
Master.
What is it?
It’s not that painful now.
This is what my
childhood sweetheart, Lan, told me.
She said that girls would be in pain
for a few days every month,
so they invented a magic medicine
with various herbs
called Mafeisan.
But I don't know if it works
for a woman of your age.
What’s wrong with my age?
You should go
and stay with the pretty young Lan.
Master!
If I left,
where could you find another sweetie
who could warm your hands?
Go away.
I’m not here
to play with you.
I have another important thing
to tell you.
You have a serious thing for me?
Forget it if you don’t want to listen.
Come on. Go ahead.
I want to say,
news that you made another sect
has been known by Lingjian Sect.
So, Fang He
is on his way here.
Seriously? Who told them?
Zhu Qin!
Bastard!
Your efforts were in vain.
I warned you before.
They’re here now.
Top grade magic treasure!
It's not a vain trip.
How dare you!
Master! Where are you going?
Don’t leave me here alone!
Wish you good luck.
Wang Lu!
Master Fang and Master Ao
are waiting for you in the hall.
What should we do now?
We should make every possible effort.
Wen Bao,
go to the ferry to find Master He
and ask him to take you to Light Mansion.
Why should I go there?
You’re the only one suitable to do this.
Heart Sect depends on you now.
Liuli,
you’re awake.
Careful.
Hai,
where are we?
Why are we here?
We’re in Yunli,
the headquarters of Qianling Sect.
You were caught by Lord Tianlun.
We got you out.
I can’t remember any of it.
But, Hai,
you saved me.
Thank you.
I…
We are fellows.
We should help each other.
You don’t need to say that.
Right,
you must be hungry
after lying for so long.
I’ve prepared many snacks
for you outside.
Really?
How do you know that I’m hungry?
Hai,
you’re really my best friend.
Let’s go!
Put on your shoes.
Master, Master Fang,
what brings you here?
Liuli Xian!
Kneel down!
Masters,
is there any misunderstanding?
She just woke up.
Master.
Just kneel down as Master Fang said.
Master, you were never so angry like this.
Liuli Xian,
do you know your fault?
What did I do wrong?
I didn’t make any mistakes.
You are ordered by your father, Lord Tianlun,
to kill innocent people.
Do you admit it?
What did you say?
My father?
Where is my father?
He died.
You don’t need to pretend now.
Tell me everything you know.
Master,
Master Fang just lied to me, right?
I haven't even met my father.
I haven't met him.
He didn’t die, right?
Master!
Tell me! Please!
Alright, Liuli,
Lord Tianlun is your father.
He has died,
right here.
I don’t believe that.
You lied to me.
You’re all liars!
He didn’t die!
I haven’t met him!
He won’t die!
Liuli! Liuli!
Liuli!
Masters.
Mentally, Liuli Xian is only 5 now.
She doesn’t know who her father is.
She always dreamed that one day
she could meet her father.
But you just came
and tell her the death of her father,
which broke all her dreams.
Don’t you think it’s cruel?
Cruel?
Think about the innocent people
she killed.
Who is the crueler one?
And,
I was interrogating the disciple
as a Penal Master.
You have no say here.
Then I’ll tell you that
I’m Liuli Xian’s lawyer.
Ask me if you have any questions.
OK,
tell me,
is Liuli Xian really the daughter
of Lord Tianlun?
Yes.
Then, did she kill innocent people?
Yes.
Since you admitted,
no further questions.
You killed others,
you should pay with your life.
Master Fang,
you need to know this.
Lord Tianlun did order the hit.
But he did that to collect the blood
to fix the Qingmu Mark,
which can seal the evil Black Tide.
Black Tide?
How could it be?
Yes,
that’s exactly
what Ouyang Shang did one hundred years ago.
Or you can use Star Divination
to see it yourself if you don’t believe me.
Nonetheless,
the fact is that he killed many people.
We can’t let go of his mistakes
because his purpose was to save people.
Master, you’re right.
Lord Tianlun killed people,
he should pay.
But you should also pay as an accomplice.
Nonsense!
Let me explain.
Here.
What?
Now each of your hands is holding an egg.
Which one do you choose to throw?
What?
What are you doing?
You…
This
is the people who were killed.
This represents us, the survivors.
Lord Tianlun
traded thousands of lives
for tens of millions of lives.
Yes,
I also think it’s extreme to do that.
But if you were him,
what would you choose to do?
I…I don’t know
No one can define
which one is more important
between the lives of thousands
and the lives of millions.
Lord Tianlun
is not a complete villain.
He has a side worthy of sympathy and sorrow.
And he’s prepared
to die for this.
That’s right.
Lord Tianlun thought he should
die for his guilt.
What about Liuli Xian?
According to what you said,
she should pay with her life.
But actually,
the Liuli Xian who obeyed the order
has died.
Isn’t she Liuli Xian?
She has her look,
but she isn’t her.
Have you ever heard of schizophrenia?
One has the master and the second personality.
It can be understood as twins,
they are exactly alike,
but their personalities are totally different.
Lord Tianlun has two daughters.
The elder one is Ye Li,
who is cruel and pitiless
and obeyed
her father’s order to kill.
The younger one is Liuli Xian,
who is a simple foodie
and doesn’t know who her father is.
How could she obey his order?
How can you prove that she is not Ye Li?
Or,
how can you prove that
she is not Ye Li pretending to be Liuli Xian?
It’s easy.
I will wake her up later.
You can insult Lord Tianlun before her
as harsh as you can.
Ye Li loves her father.
Whoever dares to insult her father,
she will die with that man immediately.
You can have a try.
How dare you threaten me?
Fang He,
we watched her grow up.
We all know her character.
If what Wang Lu said is right,
we’ll mistake her.
Just think about
how to insult Lord Tianlun.
Guanhai…
Fang He,
you always scold others.
You’re good at this.
Don’t be afraid.
I just can’t control my…
Alright,
but I should tell you this first,
as long as she becomes aggressive,
she must be Ye Li,
then it’s what she deserves
if I kill her.
No problem.
Lord Tianlun! You’re such a jerk!
You’re a junk of Ming!
A pest!
You’re shameless!
He is shameless!
Brutal!
Immoral!
Psycho!
Despicable!
How do I feel that he is scolding my master?
Master Fang,
are you thirsty?
Who is that bad guy
that you’re so mad at?
Tell me,
I’ll help you to scold him.
But you should have
some water first.
I…I’m not angry.
No?
Then that’s great.
My master told me that
the one who always gets mad will have wrinkles.
Master Fang,
do you know where I can get some food?
I’m hungry again now.
Liuli,
let me take you to have some food.
OK.
Don’t be angry.
Even if she is not Ye Li now,
no one knows if she will change.
Don’t worry.
Ye Li has died.
She won’t come back.
Since you have tested her,
this should be ended.
I will take Liuli Xian back to Lingjian
and keep her under watch.
If anything happens, we can take actions then.
You’re wise.
Stop flattering me.
Wang Lu,
Liuli’s matter
is solved.
Now, it’s your turn.
How do you plead?
