This sweet potato is delicious.
This cliff is steep.
He can't get up here.
If young master dies,
I'll kill myself right now.
Then you'll never be complete.
Aren't you his natal object?
How could you not even sense his life and death?
I am young master's natal object.
If young master is gone,
then I'm gone.
And then you'll be gone, too.
After I've purified you completely,
you'll forget him.
By then,
you'll be completely mine.
You won't care about his life and death anymore.
In terms of eating,
there is no difference between human and animal.
It's just a lower-level need.
Eating is not just about a need.
Food also has emotions and memories.
Sometimes,
eating something is to remember the taste of its past.
Even if
you don't remember those people and things,
the taste can't be wrong.
If we say back hill of the Academy tastes like chicken soup,
then House of Calligraphy
would taste like spicy and sour noodle soup.
And...
Enough.
If you don't stop,
I will punish him.
Will he fall?
I don't want him dead yet.
Why does it sound exactly like the voice of Ning Que?
Oh my god!
Ning Que!
Fat dude!
Why are you here?
Give me a hand.
Come on.
You're not here to save me, are you?
It's such a rough journey from the capital to Peach Hill,
and you had to climb such a steep precipice.
It's too dangerous!
What are you talking about?
I'm here for Sangsang.
Then you might really be out of your mind.
How could Sangsang be here?
That's because the Drinker
unexpectedly showed up in the capital with a big black carriage.
And left me a message.
What message?
Every death in this world
is a long-waited reunion.
Did Sangsang say that?
It doesn't sound like it.
The old Sangsang
wouldn't say something like that.
But after she came out of the chess board,
she did say something like that.
And she gave me a dream,
telling me she's here,
and asked me to take her home.
That's why you climbed such a steep cliff.
It's because you want to go to Hall of Light to find Sangsang.
But I heard that...
...there's a female devil in Hall of Light.
But Hierarch says that she is Heavenly Maid.
Isn't Sangsang the Daughter of Lord of the Deceased?
When did she become Heavenly Maid?
Anyway,
I'm here for Sangsang.
I am sure
that she's in Hall of Light.
All right.
What are you going to do next?
If she's Sangsang,
I want her to stay in the man's world.
This is also the strategic deployment of Sage.
The Academy, Tang State,
and the man's world.
all of them will win.
It's going to be a war again.
The war between heaven and man will come eventaully.
And this time we have to take the initiative.
Come here.
Now,
the Academy has a huge plan.
The first battle
happens exactly in Hall of Light.
That is to say,
our top priority
is to keep that woman from going back to heaven.
You're right.
Then what do I do?
You don't have to do anything.
Chen Pipi is the Mr. Twelve of the Academy.
He is also our good friend.
If young master knows that you have locked him up
in Hidden Boudoir.
I'm sure he will come to Peach Hill to save him.
Young master won't sit back.
He didn't fall, right?
And,
I've let him see the fat dude.
By the way,
I haven't had the time to ask you,
why are you here?
If I didn't climb this precipice
looking for Sangsang, at the risk of falling to death.
I may never know that you're locked here.
It's all because of that woman.
She said that my body is the purest in the world.
and that I'm her...
...Envoy of Light,
who can help her return to heaven.
Wouldn't that make me her accomplice?
That's helping her fight against Sage in heaven.
No, no, no.
All right, all right.
Stop thinking about it.
What's most important to you now
is not letting her know what you think.
But she's Heavenly Maid.
She knows everything.
Maybe...
Maybe she already knows what we're saying now.
So what?
I want her to know exactly
that I won't stop.
Keep it down.
Tell me,
who else will the Academy send
on the day of the Light Conference?
Just me.
Just you?
You can't beat her, you'll die.
Sangsang won't kill me.
Do First and Second Brother know that you are here?
Did you sneak out here?
No way! Don't worry.
It better be true.
Come on, hide. Hide!
Light will never die. Righteous path lasts forever.
It's really insightful of Heavenly Maid
to choose Chen Pipi as Envoy of Light.
This is not what you want to say.
I dare not talk through my hat.
Anyone who lies to Heavenly Maid
dies.
What I really want to say is
The son of Master of Zhishou Temple,
Chen Pipi,
is also Mr. Twelve of the Academy.
If the Academy knows
he became the Envoy,
they will come to Peach Hill to save him.
In that case,
you should know what to do now.
I'm going to prepare a letter
to invite Mr. One of the Academy
to join the the Light Conference.
Meanwhile,
specifically telling them
Chen Pipi will become Envoy of Light.
And Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, Ning Que,
is the best friend of Chen Pipi.
I'm sure he will come to help after getting the news.
Therefore,
we can get them all together.
Don't bother me with these trifles.
Get out of here.
Yes.
Ask him to make some spicy and sour noodle soup.
Wait.
Do you know whether there is a kind of food
called spicy and sour noodle soup in this world?
It sounds like some kind of food.
I'm going to investigate about it now.
Be quick.
Yes.
Who can make spicy and sour noodle soup?
She even ordered spicy and sour noodle soup.
It must be her.
In the whole West Shrine,
who else will order spicy and sour noodle soup expect her?
# There is no definite brightness #
Let's get some more.
# My eyes from the darkness are lit for you #
# I was carried away by victories and failures #
# twisted like a rope #
# I feed my soul #
# to the river of lust #
# I am here #
# no one else needed #
# I have won and lost #
# Yet what are the meanings for my deeds #
I...
# The peach flowers have blossomed #
Let me do it.
# And I have no one to share it with #
# I run through these evil nights #
# The remains scatter around in the world #
# I have seen life and death #
# I had my share of struggles #
# Now I want #
# to live freely in my life #
# I want to live for myself #
# The darkness will prove my words #
# Human or devil #
Light will never die. Righteous path lasts forever.
I know I am sinful.
But Heavenly Maid always has my respect.
I am willing to do anything and sacrifice everything
for Heavenly Maid.
What's that?
Spicy and sour noodle soup.
I heard that Heavenly Maid wants to taste this delicious food.
So I prepared it specially for her.
You can leave now.
He tried to kill us once.
I don't want to see you again.
Light will never die.
Righteous path lasts forever.
He thinks he's smart.
But actually
he is very stupid.
Long Qing...
...went to see Sangsang.
Didn't Sangsang recognize him?
What is this smell?
Thirty pieces of chopped green onion.
Four prickly ash.
Young master made this.
Hey,
the Light Conference is a few days away.
I wonder
if she will take us with her
after the Light Conference.
Whatever she wants.
Anyway, I am already...
...tired of living.
Drunker, how could you say that?
Listen,
I have been hiding in this world for more than a thousand years.
The only reason for that is...
The only reason is...
...better to live than to die.
It's not worth it.
Really not worth it.
It's not worth it.
Butcher!
Someone is here!
Hello, sirs,
I'm the new owner of the gallery across the street.
Young man,
why don't you and I make a...
Poetry!
Poetry.
Walking in the mountain gathering firewood,
scared of the world...
scared of startling the evil mountain ghosts.
Rain drops on banana leaves,
last year's cicada husk on my shoes.
Wonderful, wonderful!
So wonderful!
Thank you.
Why is he leaving?
- Drinker. - Why is he leaving?
It's been a long time since someone new came to this town.
Yeah.
People get old and then they die.
For many years,
this town
remained the same.
I just looked at his hand.
Looks like he knows how to use the sword.
He is just an ordinary person.
But he
has a strange odor.
We don't know where he came from.
That's why I'm curious.
Listen,
maybe something significant happened to him a long time ago.
maybe,
he's a bandit.
Or...
...he is a hero.
You are really good at speculating!
I am gonan get him out of here!
Forget it.
Don't you think
it would be fun
for someone to stay across the street
and have a drink with us?
Drunker, listen to me,
we lived in this world for more than a thousand years
and that was nothing easy.
Go play.
Sooner or later, you are gonna get yourself killed.
Go play.
Play!
Ning Que.
She had my spicy and sour noodle soup today.
So,
she's really Sangsang.
Hide, hide!
Come on, hide. Hide!
I didn't expect the most glorious Envoy of Light of Heavenly Maid
would be a fat dude like you.
Long Qing.
How dare you come to see me?
Now you are a traitor who joined West Shrine.
Aren't you afraid that Ye Hongyu would kill you?
I'm surprised that a loser like you
would be qualified to be Envoy of Light.
But let's be honest,
you are just a loser about to be got rid of.
Long Qing!
got rid of?
Even if I'm a loser,
I don't want to listen to all that crap.
I suppose that you must've made quite an effort
to come to Hidden Boudoir.
Maybe,
you just came to vent to me
your bitterness
and your jealousy.
Not jealousy.
But confusion.
I am confused why Master would have an unfilial son like you.
I...
When I was in the capital of Tang State
I dedicated myself to the Academy.
When I left the capital
I was filial to my father.
I never owed anyone.
Master is in a bad condition.
even worse than a ordinary person.
Someone needs to take care of him.
If you can't do it.
I'll do it.
But I hope you can help me.
Me?
How can I help you?
I've tried to go back to Zhishou Temple.
But I couldn't get in.
That's what I thought.
The world still has to have some rules.
The minute you came in,
you started saying that I am a loser.
How can I really be a loser?
And I wouldn't be so stupid as to believe what you say.
Someone needs to take care of Master now.
Father is the master of Zhishou Temple.
He receives tribute from all states on earth.
He doesn't need you to take care of him.
You know what I mean by that.
Without Heavenly Maid's order,
no one dares to be disrespectful to Zhishou Temple.
My father was seriously injured in Tang State.
His stage, cultivation...
All gone.
Even if heaven blesses him,
no one can save him.
Say it.
Seven in and thirteen out.
What do you mean?
Knowing its progress.
Defending its retreat.
One step back for two steps forward.
This is the way to get in Zhishou Temple.
If you can't even understand that,
then you don't have to serve my father.
Then you can just stay here.
Eat more.
Stay fat.
What's up?
The Light Conference is only two days away.
The big plan that you talked about...
How many times have I told you
don't think about that plan.
She knows it when you think about it.
Now I know
you being chosen as the Envoy
is related to this plan.
Because she knew
that I would come to save you.
The Academy will come to save you.
That is to say
I am the bait.
She wants to use me to lure you in once and for all.
No, no, it's terrible.
No, no, no.
Run, Ning Que!
Run away now.
You can't beat her.
Master Yanse once told me
if you can't fight, you run.
But that's when you fight against human.
Now we are fighting against Heavenly Maid.
Where can we run to?
Besides,
your life is really important,
Twelveth Brother.
Take care.
Ning Que!
Don't do stupid things.
Your life is more important than mine.
Keep your voice down.
Take care of yourself in there.
Don't starve yourself.
I'm gonna go.
Don't do stupid things!
Delicious!
This is good.
So good.
Spicy and tasty.
It's so good.
Seventh Sister's cooking skills is getting better and better.
Fourth Brother is really good at making fun of me.
But,
now that we think about it,
the self-heating hotpot invented by Pipi
really brought benefit to the disciples of our Academy.
That's right.
It turns out
that the dozens of casseroles he broke
were worth it.
I remember you were the one
who stayed the farthest away from Twelfth Brother
every time he cooked.
Right.
Listen, everybody,
there are two things
I want to inform you about.
First,
Chao Xiaoshu found the Drunker and the Butcher in Song State.
That's great.
In that case,
I get to meet the two of them in Stage of No-Distance.
Second,
The Envoy of West Shrine's Light Conference is...
...Pipi.
Pipi?
First Brother,
Let's go to West Shrine.
Go get Twelfth Brother back.
Yes.
That's right.
The title Envoy of Light is just a cover.
Is Hierarch going to revolt?
Let's go get Twelfth Brother back!
Can't you see
that West Shrine is setting us up?
Their only purpose
is for our Academy to take risks.
So what do we do?
Just sit and watch whatever happens to our Twelfth Brother?
Yeah.
I'll go.
You're not healed.
If you go to West Shrine like this,
can you bring Younger Brother back?
Jun Mo,
if you went to West Shrine,
what about Qinghe County?
Besides,
what you usually learn
can't help you in a fight.
How can you be up for the task of rescuing him?
This must not affect our first battle plan.
More importantly,
It must not affect Ning Que's action in West Shrine.
Who could save Pipi then?
Master,
Uncles,
just let me go to West Shrine.
No way.
Xiaotang,
You are just a disciple of the second generation in the Academy.
No matter what happens,
you are not the one to save your Uncle.
Although he is my Uncle,
he is also...
the person I love.
No matter who you finally decide to let go,
I am going to West Shrine to find him.
I think we should just let Xiaotang go.
Pipi became Envoy of Light.
Presumably,
it's not just Hierarch's conspiracy.
but more of Heavenly Maid's order.
Then this is will of Heaven in the first place.
If we want to change the will of Heaven,
we can't rely on our strength,
but determination and courage.
I believe that she must have the determination to save Pipi.
Fine.
There are many dangers in this journey.
No matter what happens,
you must stay calm.
This time
I can't go with you.
Take the knife of the clan with you.
After you saw Pipi,
just do whatever he says.
Thank you, Master.
Thank you, Uncles.
Uncles,
I'm gonna go.
Temple Master,
Long Qing is here.
I'm useless.
please punish me, Master.
I'm not as good as Sage,
and you are not as good as Ning Que.
It's inevitable.
I just didn't think
you would appear to be a little less ambitious.
This time I come to the Temple,
I just want to help Uncle Yi Chen
take care of you.
You really let me down!
Now,
even your fearless ambition
is gone.
I thought when you come into the room
your eyes would turn gray at once.
How could I be such a rebel?
Half-waist Taoist Priest
was your master in a way.
And you drained him anyway.
The word rebel
fits you the best.
Master,
I know I'm wrong.
Get up.
Long Qing,
back then in the South Sea
I noticed that there is no love in you,
so you can be fearless.
Long Qing,
only by keeping your original ambition
can you achieve something.
I'm enlightened.
So,
by now you should know
what I want you to do.
What do you think of the one in Hall of Light?
It's the Heavenly Maid coming to earth.
Of course it's good thing for Taoism.
You fear her.
She is the existence of the world.
I must fear her.
That's why you let me down.
Master, you mean...
Take Pipi away.
What about the Light Conference?
The Light Conference will be a failure.
And she can't go back to heaven.
But she is Heavenly Maid after all.
The reason why Zhishou Temple stands above West Shrine
is because we know and observe
the rules of the world.
The man's world needs a spokesman.
It could be her.
It could be me.
It could also be you.
We just need a special opportunity.
Just do it.
Show me that you really want to follow me.
If I get that position,
I am going to give you different powers.
I am giving you this natal object.
After it's done,
you can take this back.
Yes, Master.
I don't care what you think.
Anyway, your life is in my hands.
I know you're not willing to return to Zhishou Temple.
Now I'm just a crippled old man.
But if you believe me
and go all out,
the story in history books
might be different from now on.
Yes, Master.
I'll listen to whatever you say.
Go.
Elder Brother,
are you really going to give up what you believe in?
I believe in light.
Not the woman in Hall of Light.
The one in Hall of Light,
isn't she Heavenly Maid?
That can't be wrong.
If she comes from heaven,
then who is the one fighting against Sage in heaven?
Even if she used to be Heavenly Maid,
could the one who came to the man's world
still be the Heavenly Maid we believe in?
could the one who can never return to heaven again
still be the Heavenly Maid we believe in?
If you believe it,
don't doubt it.
You can only believe it.
From Zhishou Temple's point of view,
It's never Heaven who asks us to have beliefs.
It's because we need to have beliefs.
I need to have beliefs, too.
What I believe in
is true Light.
Not that woman.
She wants to reopen Heaven,
so she called the Light Conference.
Using Chen's pure blood of tens of thousands of years as a agent
to open a way to Heaven.
However,
she's bound to fail.
Because the Academy's people will stop it.
But the Academy will fail, too.
In the end,
everyone will fail.
Elder Brother,
why is that?
For Heavenly Maid to return to heaven
she must cut off all attachments to the world.
She thought she could do it,
actually she couldn't.
There are so many things she couldn't let go.
Such as
Ning Que, who's acting blindly in West Shrine now.
Elder Brother,
what should we do?
If she can't cut off all attachments to the world.
then we'll help her cut it off.
If that doesn't work,
we'll cut her off, too.
# This life #
# seems like a dream #
# Watching the sun rise and set #
# Chasing the sun which falls to the west #
Tell me,
what were you thinking?
Did you want to use that fat dude to lure your young master?
Who are you trying to get rid of?
It doesn't make sense.
Back then I was hurt by Great Sword Master, Yan Suqing.
I was about to die.
And that fat dude saved my life.
Did you forget what you said then?
# how cruel this parting is #
If you break your promise,
I will keep it for you.
# Who has ever heard #
# the sobbing wind #
# Why is there #
# regret in the eyes #
# Who has known #
# how touching the past is #
That was the first time he met young master.
If it wasn't for that Cultivation Pill,
young master would've been dead.
This is Cultivation Pill.
My young master owes you his life.
No,
I owe you my life.
So,
we owe Chen Pipi our lives.
Why can't you just forget all that?
Am I really so useless?
I am Heavenly Maid.
