Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 28
So could you give us a suggestion
to eliminate the demons?
Beastmastery Sect is only good at mastering beasts,
so your sect is much better
than us on that.
So, I’m sorry that
I can’t give you
any suggestion.
I just master the Magic Beast
to fight together with us
to maintain the peace of the world for a while.
Thanks for your kindness.
I really appreciate it.
Priest,
could you please show us
your Magic Beast?
I can’t wait to broaden my horizons.
I haven’t seen it yet.
I’m sorry for saying that
if it’s not convenient.
You don’t need to apologize.
My Magic Beast was a precious ferret
which was extremely swift.
But sadly, it died
two days ago.
Can a Magic Beast die of disease?
It didn’t die of disease.
To tell you the truth,
I have been tracking the Wolf demons
in Jiyang that you mentioned.
But they are quite sneaky
and good at sheltering themselves.
To find them,
I have been studying a method
to improve the power of the Magic Beast.
I was so anxious
to save people.
My Magic Beast
died during
the high-intensity training.
The ferret was with me for nearly 20 years.
I didn’t expect
it would leave me.
Once I know the real identity of the Wolf demons,
I will...
Actually,
the Wolf demons...
What are you talking about?
About my Magic Beast.
OK, then please go on.
I’ll join your discussion.
After my ferret died,
many disciples in our sect were touched.
They donated their Magic Pets
to be trained.
So we set up a secret base
in our Beastmastery Sect.
We lock the Magic Beasts there
to train them.
To protect them from the Wolf demons,
I made an anti-magic barrier
in the yard.
Excuse me, Priest Zuo.
Where is this secret base?
In the back mountain.
Wang Lu,
will you go to have a look?
No.
Priest Zuo.
It’s a secret base.
Sorry but we didn’t mean to offend you.
It doesn’t matter.
Lingjian Sect is a decent sect.
Also, a hundred years ago,
during the human-demon’s fight,
your elder generation made
a huge contribution.
Lingjian Sect is always the one
that we admire a lot.
We’d like to do everything for you.
Wang Lu,
what did you find just now?
What do you mean?
You faked a stomachache,
so that you could go out to check something.
Tell us,
what did you find?
I found
a place protected by barriers in the back mountain.
Scarred animals were in there.
That must be the secret base
mentioned by priest Zuo.
Do you really believe that they’re training
Magic Beasts to fight against Wolf demons?
Why not?
Beastmastery Sect is a decent sect.
It’s reasonable that he wants
to protect people in Jiyang.
No.
He must have suspected me.
So he made up that story to
stop me from exposing his plot.
What’s the plot
that they are making?
I don’t know.
But I think the charms on cages
are like
that one!
That’s an ordinary charm for marriage.
Miao said that
she came to Beastmastery Sect
to get that charm on the 15th of this month.
Yes.
But what that means
when the charms are on the cages?
What if this is not a charm for marriage?
What else can it be?
Do you remember that
Miao was turned into a Cat.
That means
all the animals in this cave
were...
Impossible!
It can’t happen in Beastmastery Sect.
Don’t be so sure.
Let’s test them.
What are you talking about?
What...
Priest,
can I have a charm for marriage?
You?
I was born to be single.
I never have a partner.
My dad will take all my assets back
if I don’t find one.
Are you messing with me?
How come a man comes to get that?
You should think about our state.
Go.
But...
I’ll inform our Leader
if you don’t leave.
OK. OK.
Usually, girls come to a temple for marriage.
It makes sense
that he refused you.
Hai,
did you hear about such evil magic
to make a human become
a Magic Best?
Never.
I heard about that from my dad.
In Canglan, there was a famous busker
who played monkey show.
His monkeys were very smart.
They could do everything.
Not only monkeys,
he also had cats, dogs, pigs, and rabbits.
They all knew everything.
Then, someone saw through his tricks.
He turned kids into Magic Beast
to earn money.
So that means
weak people like
kids or girls can be controlled easily.
Wang Lu,
I still don’t believe that Priest Zuo would do that.
But... it’s not because I don’t believe him.
It’s because he looks so good.
Do you know what
a hypocrite look like?
As an amateur of ratiocination,
my eyes can’t leave him
from the moment I saw him.
Now I see.
You just don’t like decent people.
What you like are rogues...
Rogues like Master Wang, right?
Let me help you to finish it.
Yes.
I’m a little rebellious.
I don’t like those who pretend to be good.
Why do you have to be against Priest Zuo
instead of the Wolf demons?
Wang Lu,
excuse me.
It’s fine that you don’t work
with me.
But please promise me,
don’t tell the Xues’
real identity to others,
especially that Zuo.
I really don’t understand
why you have to protect them?
Because I like them.
Liar!
You hated him when
you saw them for the first time.
The relationship between men
is subtle.
Friends may turn
against each other,
and enemies
may grow fond of each other one day.
Don’t you think so?
I really don’t understand you.
Hai!
Ling.
You are a little ruthless.
Why are you so eager to marry?
My master’s heart will ache for you,
not to mention Leader.
Except winning
my Magic Stones through Mahjong,
what else can your master do?
Well said.
Say it.
Why are you here?
Are you still trying
to break up me and Boren?
I wouldn’t dare.
Actually,
I just come to ask you
about your sweet experience with my master.
Then,
I can stimulate her when I’m back.
You’d better
cut to the chase.
If you keep beating around the bush...
Please.
Master.
Something about Beastmastery Sect.
Things about that sect
don’t add up.
Miss Li is as fierce
as they say.
Now that you want to die,
I’ll help you.
By the way,
have you found
the girl named Miao?
Leader,
Miao transformed back
and went home.
What?
It must be the Wolf!
Bastards!
Do they think that they can save the world?
Leader,
I’ll inform our chief
to send another one here.
Without the help of Lingjian’s stupid guys
to eliminate Wolf demons,
our thing can advance more smoothly.
They turn girls into Magic Pets?
What an evil sect!
They keep a close eye on me.
Seems that the jerk is very cautious.
Please recall it.
What else can we do to go in?
What else?
Go to ruin Beastmastery Sect.
Go.
Ling is back?
Ling.
I trust your ability,
but the truth is our power is not enough.
Please use your brain.
Only we two can’t be in there.
Hold it.
I can’t.
This is to protect yourself.
I’ll do it
by myself.
Wang Lu.
Could you wait here for me?
I’ll go in.
Gosh.
Ling will ruin Beastmastery Sect.
Thanks, priest.
Miss,
seek a sign or make a wish?
Priest,
my friends told me that
the marriage charm’s magical.
Yes.
That’s right.
Girls who got that charm
are living a happy life
with their husbands and children.
Here.
Incinerate this
charm,
and drink the water.
You will meet your Mr. Right this year.
Here, please.
Thanks, priest.
Are you crazy?
What if that’s dangerous?
No.
My dad told me
the Restriction in my body
is to resist all kinds of tricks.
Taking care of things like that
is a piece of cake.
Also,
you are here.
You’ll help me.
Right?
I mean we don’t have much time to
meet each other in future,
so I’ll do my best to help you.
Do you feel unwell now?
No.
I’m fine.
Listen,
tell me if you
feel unwell tonight.
Are you clear?
Rest assured.
But promise me,
if I can settle this for you,
you’ll send me to my husband’s place
on the day of my wedding.
Are you kidding me?
Only the bride’s aunt does it.
I don’t.
Look.
You are my disciple.
So you are my family.
Practitioners don’t care about the gender.
Also,
you are handsome,
awesome,
and charming.
Am I right?
Let me think about it.
There’s another thing.
Did Wang Wu contact you?
What’s wrong with this woman?
Did she elope with that boy?
How come she doesn’t attend my wedding?
An unreliable woman.
Are you serious?
You betrayed my master
and fell in love with another one.
And now you hope she’ll congratulate you?
So weird.
Did I ask her to congratulate me?
Am I that mean?
Even if a
stupid boy
has a relationship with her,
she’ll let me
see her PDA to disgust me
no matter how busy she is.
Don’t you think it’s weird
that nothing happened?
Let’s go.
What if she doesn’t reply to my message?
What if she doesn’t answer my call?
Paper crane.
Master,
are you in trouble?
If you don’t come,
Ling will marry another guy.
Please reply.
One word is fine.
I’m not worried about you.
I’m afraid that you are too happy to think of us.
Don’t blame me
for not informing you
that Ling has been a wife of another one
when you come back.
No one can exit this Matric of Coiling.
How come the design is so perfect?
After Hai Tiankuo got me out,
he showed me the clue of Ouyang Shang,
but he locked me here.
What is he up to?
Please reply.
One word is fine.
I’m not worried about you.
I’m afraid that you are too happy to think of us.
Don’t blame me
for not informing you
that Ling has been a wife of another one
when you come back.
I want to go out as well.
What should I do now?
Hai Tiankuo... kuo...
My throat is sour.
You don’t even reply.
A general of Junhuang Mountain, Hai Tiankuo,
you come here to do this?
It hurts!
What are you doing?
You...
Too shameless!
I won’t do that!
I’m not that kind of person.
Help!
General is discussing issues with us.
This is impossible.
I’d rather die
than do this.
Again?
No!
No! Stop!
Please!
No. It hurts.
Too indecent!
Zefang!
Zefang, help me!
Your general is crazy!
Help!
I am pure and innocent.
I didn’t do anything wrong.
But I am locked by you!
You ruined my reputation!
Let me introduce this to you.
These paintings
were made by this photo box.
I put a Flying Charm in it.
Lock me until I die!
Or these photos
will be spread everywhere
when this barrier is broken.
Our Leader
will destroy your sect
when he sees how you humiliated me.
You are a Master after all.
You are talking about reputation after doing this?
You are immoral!
Come on, now that you know it,
don’t push me.
What you did
really surprises me.
General.
If you didn’t lock me here,
do I need to do this?
Break the barrier and tell me directly.
What’s your relationship with Ouyang Shang?
We are close friends.
But I’m sorry that
I can’t tell you every detail due to some reasons.
I don’t mean to hurt you.
And I know
that we have the same wish.
You can cooperate with me.
Of course.
Please help me to realize my wish.
Let me hit you after I go out.
Please!
Recently, I know
that Ouyang Shang is alive.
He is alive?
I swear.
Though I can’t promise you anything,
what I’m doing
is to find him.
You look sneaky
and furtive.
But since you swear with your cultivation,
I’ll believe you.
But I have something important to do.
Please let me out.
I’m sorry but I can’t.
Liumang Poisonous Blood is still in your body.
Iron Blood and Matrix of Coiling are helpful
for your Wuxiang Kungfu.
Just stay here and practice 7 days.
After 7 days,
I’ll send you out.
I can’t even wait for 7 hours,
not to mention 7 days.
Let me out,
or I’ll send these photos
to the Bureau of Affairs.
Are you pushing me
to go to Lingjian mountain
and propose marriage?
Though I love beauties,
I don’t take the love of others.
Ouyang Shang loves you,
but this will affect him a lot.
So I have to stop you.
You are in my trap!
Hai Tiankuo,
what do you want?
Master Wang,
you are really cunning.
You are ruining your reputation
just to stimulate me to destroy these paintings?
Then you can threaten me.
But what a pity, people who don’t belong
to Junhuang will be restricted by Matrix of Coiling.
Also, you still have 30% of your power.
You are not my match.
How about
you just stay to have a rest?
I’ll send you out in 7 days.
I know how powerful I am now.
I forgot.
You are good at setting barriers.
There’s no doubt
that you made tricks.
I made a change of
the handprint of the Matrix of Coiling.
Just have a rest here.
Hai Tiankuo,
you pushed me to do so.
Hai,
you’ve had enough.
Wen Bao,
do you know why I hate demons so much?
Because they’re evil.
They must be eliminated.
Wang Lu asked me
whether I would kill him
if he were a demon.
That question is wrong.
It’s illogical.
He should ask me
whether he would kill me if he were a demon.
I don’t understand.
We grow up together.
We even can give our lives to each other.
But that day,
after he turned into a demon in front of me,
I saw him becoming
a cruel, heartless monster
without sympathy.
I held him tightly.
I called him
and begged him.
I called him again and again,
but he...
He was like that he didn’t hear me,
indifferent.
I don’t think
Wang Lu would be like that.
Don’t you understand now?
It’s demons’ instinct to do evil things.
So there’s no good demon
in this world.
As long as it’s a demon,
it’s a monster.
That’s horrible.
Look,
even you understand now.
But why can’t Wang Lu?
After I left Junhuang Mountain,
I was alone all the time.
I thought I couldn’t
meet any close friend
until
I met Wang Lu.
I feel like I have friendship again.
So I don’t want him to be cheated
and seduced by demons.
What I want the least
is that he becomes another Hai Tiankuo.
Hai.
Why don’t you tell these to Wang Lu?
Why are you guys always attempting
to test each other?
It doesn’t work.
Lady, don’t waste your time.
Mom.
Help me!
Mom.
Help me!
Help!
Mom.
Help me!
Help!
Leader,
two will come tonight.
One girl is extremely powerful.
Maybe she’s the key to success.
Good.
Our Spirit Jade of Magic Pets
will be enough.
Ling.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Are you thinking about people of Lingjian Sect?
Are you kidding me?
I just take them as my carrier.
Ling.
What are you hiding?
Let me have a look.
- Let me have a look. - Nothing.
- Nothing. - Let me look.
I said the truth.
Ling.
These shoes don’t go with my feet.
If these are not for Feng Yin,
is there
another man that you’ll give to?
Don’t play jokes.
I’m getting married.
So I just casually made shoes for my dad
to pay him back.
Whatever.
But I think
the shoes were well made.
Even this little gecko
is so vivid.
This is a dragon!
Look, my dear. Stop pretending.
Obviously, you have something in mind.
But you pretend not to.
Actually,
you hope people of Lingjian Sect
will attend our wedding most.
Am I right?
I sent a message to Wang Wu.
But she didn’t reply.
I think she must be busy with other things.
Don’t mind it.
Is there anything more important than my wedding?
OK, Ling.
I promise you.
No matter they come or not,
I’ll take you to Lingjian Mountain
to see my father-in-law
and Master Wang Wu
after our wedding.
We decide to marry without my father’s permission.
Don’t you afraid of his Star Sword?
Star Sword?
Of course I’m afraid.
But
what I’m afraid the most is
that you’re unhappy.
This will
make me sadder.
Glib-tongued.
It’s late.
You need to sleep.
Rest your eyes.
Master Wang Wu.
What are you doing?
This Matrix is good for practice, right?
So I’m developing my Wuxiang Kungfu.
You condense 7 days of practice into 1 day,
which may help you to make great progress,
but it may also lead to Thunder.
Then there’s no way back.
Our practice
is always in the company of risks.
Don’t practice if you are afraid of death.
What’s more, what I’m practicing
is just a drop in the bucket
of my Wuxiang Kungfu.
Is your Matrix of Coiling
too weak to resist it?
Your Thunder is a high-level one.
We can’t resist it.
Isn’t this matrix for protecting the mountain?
Take care.
You may also
hurt by the Thunder.
Are you trying to die with us?
Then, let’s try
this hit!
Soul into the spirit!
Spirit into the deity!
Deity into the empty!
I’m sorry about it.
To defend your place, you have to fight against me.
You are as smart and brave as I thought.
You used the Thunder to break the barrier,
and then your power could be developed.
Also, you avoided the pain at the full-moon night.
I really appreciate it.
I know.
Once again,
where is Ouyang Shang?
I can’t say it.
Now that you don’t want to tell me,
I’ll stop asking you here.
This time I owe you.
After I go down to the mountain,
I won’t be back to thank you.
See you never.
Fangze, see you.
General,
you just let her go?
Fine.
It won’t affect our plan.
Also,
she doesn’t know that Ouyang Shang
is more important than her to me.
Ask Ling to take a shower and wait for me.
I’ll arrive today.
As long as Ling can hold for several hours,
my master will arrive.
Everything will be fine then.
Wang Lu,
he insisted on coming here.
He has something to tell you.
Wang Lu,
please don’t believe them. You’ll be cheated.
I’m really worried about you.
You don’t know how hurtful to be betrayed
by the closest friends.
What happened to him?
After coming back from Beastmastery Sect,
he asked me to drink with him.
He was always talking about you.
Wang Lu,
Hai really cares about you.
It’s not easy for him to fight against
his stubborn thought.
Her Ladyship is missing.
What should we do?
Where is she?
Hurry up!
Linghua,
what happened?
Something serious happened!
Her Ladyship
is missing!
Go to the back mountain now.
Yes.
Her Ladyship is missing.
Where is she?
Go to find her.
How come she’s missing?
Where is she?
We didn’t find her. Boren.
Boren,
she came out from the backdoor.
And I guess she left at midnight.
Boren.
How could she leave at night?
Yeah.
She would tell me
if she went out at night.
Did something
happen to her?
What happened?
Wang Lu, I’m so sorry
that I didn’t take good care of Ling.
Beastmastery Sect.
Go to Beastmastery Sect!
Beastmastery Sect?
Does it have something to do this Sect?
Please enlighten me.
To help me check
the case of missing girls in Jiyang,
she went to Beastmastery to be a spy.
She drank the charm water given by the priest.
Wang Lu, you...
This sect is always cheating
girls and turning them into Magic Pets.
How could you let Ling take the risk?
Zhongren, Shuren,
Chaiqi,
follow me to Beastmastery Sect.
OK.
Wang Lu,
what happened?
Ling is in trouble.
Take your weapons and follow me!
OK.
How about Hai?
Good friends
share everything.
It’s Ling’s smell.
Seems that she’s really in Beastmastery Sect.
So Boren, what should we do now?
We have no choice.
Rush into it.
Boren,
there are a lot of limitations and matrices here.
Will we die if we just rush into it?
Are you afraid of death?
Then, stay here.
Wait.
We only have six men,
and this is their place.
We don’t have any advantage.
Who told you we only have six people?
We have seven.
Hai,
you just become sober?
It’s easy to drive away alcohol with Magic Power.
Don’t make a fuss.
Wang Lu,
they have a matrix,
and we can also have that.
You don’t mind that they are demons?
I do this for Ling.
How many people can you hide
with your Invisible Magic?
Four
at most.
Four.
OK.
Here’s my plan.
Hai,
take the three of them to steal the Lord Stove
to distract them.
Meanwhile, Xue Boren and I will go in to save her.
I guess at that time,
only one or two people keep the house.
Then I’ll take care of everything.
Seize the time to wake Ling up.
I’ll do anything
as long as I can save Ling.
What’s my duty?
Your duty is the most important.
Create the alibi for
our Lingjian Sect.
How come this woman hasn’t become a demon
after drinking my charm?
Did she drink?
Yes, Leader,
she drank it.
I saw her drinking it.
Today is Seven Evils Day
when the power of Wolf demons is the weakest.
They are easy to be attacked.
If we miss this best chance
to collect the Spirit Jade of Magic Pets,
these Wolf demons
may stir up more trouble
A strong evil spirit!
