[The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Adapted from Weiyu's novel, The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Episode 14]

All rubbernecks!

They just love it, huh.

Some even came from out of town just for this.

Heartless.

Chubby,

it's natural for villagers

to be afraid when a savage enters their village.

Were they supposed to invite her in?

And it's natural for them to rubberneck.

When you first arrived

and heard a savage had been killed,

you might've done that too.

They're not heartless.

They...

They just don't understand savages.

To them,

she was just a terrifying beast.

She wasn't a beast.

Master, you're right.

I have no right to judge those villagers.

When we first encountered her,

we thought she was a monster too.

Well?

I spoke to the village head.

Hongsha has to stay for a few days.

Her grandpa's situation is complicated.

She may need to assist with the investigation.

But we have to get the relic of ill omen

back to Lixi now. No more delays.

We'll split up.

One group takes the relic of ill omen to Lixi.

The other...

- Then I'll stay. - I'll stay.

She saved my life.

Walking away now would make me

no better than a beast.

Besides,

Hongsha has to stay here.

I might as well

keep her company.

I...

Zhama,

if there's any news about savages,

contact me anytime.

Oh,

this is from my mom.

She

asked me to tell you something.

She noticed you the moment you entered the village.

She could see

you carry deep sorrow and burdens.

But she hopes you won't let them crush you.

Just keep moving forward.

The road ahead will get brighter.

She also said

if you ever meet someone you like,

never let her go.

People drift apart too easily.

Once they're gone,

you might never find them again.

Give it to me.

Help me out.

Hand me that.

Let's go.

Don't pick unripe fruit anymore.

Choose ones like this.

Red.

And sweet.

That savage was a good person.

Not a beast.

So when she's there,

kind souls

will keep her company.

♪Companionship and care are like gentle beams of light♪

♪Embark on the journey, healing all loneliness♪

♪Waiting together for the sunrise♪

Missing your grandpa?

It's okay.

Of course you can miss him.

No matter what,

your grandpa loved you.

Cry if you need to.

♪Though fate may be muddy, through the storm♪

It'll make you feel better.

♪Stubbornness and courage keep you strong♪

♪In the gaps of time within memories♪

♪The long road of life is scarred and cruel♪

♪But some will heal your pain♪

Alright then.

We'll talk later, Mr. Kun.

What did Mighty Kun say?

He was worried

when he couldn't reach us these past few days.

And he made a major breakthrough on his trip.

He'll share it in the group later

for us to look into and discuss.

He also wants to review what we told him.

Oh,

and he brought us gifts.

Gifts?

What kind of gifts?

He didn't say.

But

coming from him, it's bound to be extraordinary.

Extraordinary.

Let's hope so.

By the way,

both Thirteen-Thousand and I

wanted to stay with Hongsha.

Why did you give me that look?

He's better suited to stay.

Why?

Hongsha and I are like sisters.

Wouldn't it be better if I stayed?

The broken understand the broken.

They'll have more

to talk about.

And that might help them heal.

Fine.

Hit.

Hit... Hit him.

What are you mumbling about?

Is this yours?

Can I open it?

I have one just like it.

It's from Zhama's mom, right?

Do you know

what it's for?

For enhancing romantic luck. Very effective.

If you ever meet someone you like,

wear it on your wrist.

Let's take a break up ahead.

Mu Dai.

Remember that question you asked me

in Wuzhu Village?

I've asked you a lot of questions.

I...

Alright.

Ask me now.

Do you like me?

I haven't

answered you.

Is it too late...

to answer now?

You once said

the best time for two people to be together

is when they

like each other.

Mu Dai,

I like you.

But I don't know

how you feel now.

What if

I've already moved on?

What would you do?

Then I'll pursue you.

With everything I've got.

Is it too late?

Zhama's mom is never wrong, is she?

I don't want us to go our separate ways.

I don't want to see you holding someone else's hand.

She said my future would be brighter.

But

without you in it,

nothing could ever be bright enough.

It's fine, I...

Master and him

might work things out.

♪Just want to slowly love you with all my hope, oh♪

♪Just want to slowly, slowly hold you tight♪

So annoying.

Who are you trying to scare?

Got a problem with that?

Chubby, you...

Move aside. I can't see clear now.

I almost forgot about you.

Here.

Have a proper look.

This relic of ill omen is unusual.

Could it be because...?

Our theory might be correct.

There's another savage.

And another amber.

This relic of ill omen isn't complete.

You're right.

Its reactions are so abnormal.

It hasn't shown us the shadow of water.

So there is remaining part of the relic of ill omen

hidden in Yueliang Mountain?

But it's fine.

We have most of it here.

The remaining traces

probably can't cause much harm.

I've told Zhama

to contact me immediately

if anything happens.

We can't let the remnants hurt anyone else.

What do you all think about my trip

to Lengquan?

It was really valuable.

Bo Yangzi, the bamboo slips,

Feng, Huang, and Luan.

They all share striking parallels

with our experiences.

Let me be blunt.

Whether it's water or blood,

they can only temporarily

restrain the relics of ill omen.

Only by finding those legendary items

can we

seal them away forever.

But

where are we supposed to find them?

And

how many relics of ill omen are there in total?

If there are only three,

then we're pretty much done.

What's his problem?

He must be stumped.

Ren!

In a minute.

Chubby,

I'm paying you to work.

But look at you.

Ren!

You worked for a few days

and then vanished for over a week.

- What were you thinking? - Renting the space, renovations.

They all fell on me.

Got it.

I'm sorry.

Oh, just shut up.

I'll be more responsible, alright?

Look at you.

Look at that attitude.

He... He said he still has important matters to handle.

Nonsense.

I've been so busy these past few days.

I haven't even had time to take care of Pingting.

Thanks to Miss Lian.

Otherwise this whole thing would've...

Miss Lian?

The owner of Lianyan Boutique

right across from Phoenix Pavilion.

When she heard we were renovating,

she was really enthusiastic.

She gave a lot of great suggestions.

Wait, how do you know her?

I just told you.

We're neighbors.

A neighbor cares more than you.

Stop contacting her

from now on.

Why?

Well, Hongsha,

I need to head back.

Now that I've gotten you here,

my job's done.

Chubby just told me

Mr. Zhang is waiting

to skin me alive when I return.

I really have to go.

You can handle

the rest on your own, right?

Do...

Do you actually know what needs to be done?

What else is there?

First,

you'll need a proper portrait

of your grandpa, right?

And,

for the funeral arrangements,

you'll need to prepare everything.

Elegiac couplets, wreaths,

mourning dress, crapes.

And the burial plot.

And the cemetery.

You'll have to make calls

to find a geomantically...

Wait, hold on.

Start from the beginning.

First, the portrait,

- then... - I'll handle it.

Let me.

Good thing I'm here.

Lady Dai tried to fight me over staying.

What use would she have been?

Thirteen-Thousand,

how do you know

all this so well?

Me?

Of course I know.

I've been on my own since I was a teenager.

Back then, to scrape by,

I did everything,

like, playing the filial mourner, professional wailing.

Yan!

Yan!

Yan!

Who are you people?

You guys...

Finally, someone's here.

Where's your grandfather?

Inside.

Yan!

Wait.

Yan!

Yan, come out!

You can talk to me instead.

Where's your grandfather?

Dead?

Are you all messing with me?

I kept extending the deadline,

and now you pull this "playing dead" stunt on me?

Pretending to be dead, huh?

Think that gets you out of paying?

Get your grandfather out here!

What do you mean "pretending"?

I have his death certificate.

Want to see it?

I'll show you.

Still acting?

I'll break your arm right now.

Not bad moves, eh? She taught me.

You know how the Yan family fights.

You guys don't stand a chance.

You won't even afford the medical bills.

Debts should be repaid.

That's only fair.

But claims need proof.

Where's the IOU?

The IOU? Give it to me.

Man,

is this IOU even legit?

Even debt collection has to follow basic rules.

Deadbeats lecturing me about rules?

Read it clearly!

How much

did my uncle owe you?

Missy, listen up.

Even with this house as collateral,

you still owe me 1.2 million!

I've got not just this IOU,

but recordings from every visit.

Your grandfather promised me

he'd repay this!

What now?

The Yan family's word means nothing?

Hey,

no need for insults. Calm down.

- I'll pay it. - Calm...

I'll repay you.

But listen.

The Yan family

always keeps its word!

If I say I'll repay, I will.

But I don't have the money right now.

What I do have are two working hands to earn it.

It might take time,

but you'll get every last cent.

Understood?

No money now? Then how do you plan to repay?

And "take time"?

What trick are you pulling on me?

If you don't accept this...

Then just kill me.

You heard her, man.

She's not afraid to die.

Let me suggest something.

Call the police.

Let the judge decide

whether a niece should pay her uncle's debts.

What do you think?

A young girl

willing to repay

millions in debt.

That's more than fair.

Fine.

But every last cent better be paid!

Let's go.

Well, Hongsha,

are you sure

you'll be alright?

I'll manage.

Really sure?

It's just...

You wrote me that checklist.

I'll follow it

step by step.

I know

I'm the last of the Yan family now.

That's exactly why I have to live well.

Having nothing left doesn't matter.

I can start from scratch.

Begin anew.

I'll work hard

and earn my way back

to being rich again.

Okay, since you've said that,

I can

leave reassured.

But let me correct one thing.

Well,

It's not like that you have nothing.

Head south

from here.

There's a place called Destiny Bar.

Your friends are there.

As long as they've got something,

you'll get your share.

I'm leaving now.

Here.

Hey,

make way.

Alright, put it here.

I told you to take Pingting out for a walk.

Why are you here?

Today's the plumbing and electrical work.

I don't trust it without supervision.

Look, we're short on pipes.

Don't worry,

Miss Lian is taking care of Pingting.

Why her again?

And who's this?

Oh, Miss Lian.

Nothing. We were just discussing the plumbing.

Miss Lian, you know him.

Mr. Zheng mentioned

you've been a great help with the renovations lately.

Thank you.

We're neighbors.

No need for formalities.

By the way, Mr. Zheng,

my friend just got

new wallpaper stock for the private rooms.

We can go check samples tomorrow.

Good, good.

Miss Lian, could we speak privately?

Go ahead.

Pingting, don't stay here.

It's too messy.

Come over here.

Pingting, come here.

What now?

Dragging me in here for secret talks.

Let me be blunt, Miss Lian.

What's your intention?

Intention?

I don't understand.

Taking care of Pingting,

advising on renovations,

and even going to check out the samples.

What?

Don't you have your business to run?

Don't you think you're being overly enthusiastic?

I can't help it.

I've been

warm-hearted all my life.

Well? Is it against the law?

Something wrong with that?

Do I deserve to be dragged in here for questioning like this?

Mr. Zheng.

Mu Dai.

Where's Luo Ren?

Inside.

I'll leave if there's nothing else.

I'm meeting Mr. Zheng tomorrow to check samples anyway.

Pingting.

Mr. Zheng said

you were up to no good in here.

Me?

He said you dragged

some pretty girl in

and wouldn't let anyone else enter.

What were you trying to do?

Out with it.

Where's that pretty girl?

Right here.

Mr. Zheng also said

you got upset about Lian Shu

helping pick wallpapers.

How did she offend you?

Why the hostility?

I can't quite explain.

She gives me

this uneasy feeling.

And the way she's always hovering around Pingting and Pingting.

I feel a bit unsettled

about it.

Then I'll handle the wallpaper samples tomorrow.

As one of the shareholders of Phoenix Pavilion,

I should do my part.

I'll ask her

to hand over all the work

to me later.

That way, we won't have to trouble her further.

What do you think?

Pingting.

♪Give me wings to pierce the universe♪

Do you have anything to eat?

Mr. Zheng.

Mu Dai, you're here.

Sit here to eat.

Sit here, Pingting.

♪In these ordinary moments♪

Use the plate.

Thank you, Mr. Zheng.

♪I'll fly to forbidden snowy mountain peaks♪

In a minute.

♪Fly over any plain I wish to go♪

Miss Lian, here.

Please come in.

This is Miss Lian.

And this is Mu Dai.

Nice to meet you, Miss Lian.

Luo told me

how much you've helped recently.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mu Dai

is one of the shareholders of Phoenix Pavilion.

She'll go with you today to get familiar with things.

From now on,

she'll handle these matters.

We've troubled you long enough.

I'm really sorry about that.

Don't mention it, Mr. Zheng.

Let's go then. The car's outside.

Alright.

Mr. Zheng, I'll be leaving then.

Go ahead.

We're leaving, Mr. Zheng.

Miss.

Upstairs.

I'm not going upstairs.

I'm going out. Bye.

Come on, sit and eat.

Here you go.

This piece is entirely handcrafted.

The carving details

are exceptionally fine.

Over here

we have marble designs.

Each stone

has been processed by skilled artisans.

The durability and attention to detail

in every small piece are remarkable.

Now,

these six pieces use

imported German materials.

The engraving work

is impeccable.

And over here, we have ceramic colored stones.

The color procurement for these...

Pingting, what are you looking at?

Miss.

Upstairs.

That's downstairs, Pingting.

You can't tell up from down.

But since when am I a girl?

Well,

just skip breakfast.

It's practically noon.

You might as well sleep straight through till evening.

[Zhama]

Smells amazing.

I'm getting hungry.

I'm starving too.

Why don't you check out this shop?

And I'll order some takeout.

Alright. But I can't handle spice.

Mild then. Thank you.

Alright.

Hello, sir,

I just placed that order.

Make it extra spicy, please.

Also, I ordered a soda.

Don't forget that.

Thank you.

Not a savage?

That expert mentioned

it belongs to

the order Primates, genus Simia.

Then he rambled on about a bunch of other stuff.

I didn't understand any of it.

True.

The "savage" label is just folkloric.

The scientific community never endorsed it.

By the way, Luo,

there's one more thing.

Do you

remember that vanished village

on Yueliang Mountain?

Some elders recently

brought up that old story.

They said that twenty years ago, when that village

wasn't abandoned yet,

a woman went into the mountains to gather herbs

and was assaulted by a savage.

Then her husband

led village hunters from our village

into the mountains to corner it,

and in the end, they killed it.

But later,

people noticed the woman kept returning to the mountains.

And she stayed with a little savage.

Gradually, rumors started spreading.

Many people claimed that the little savage

was her child with that savage.

Impossible.

As Simians,

savages can't have children with humans.

Yueliang Village

was already slated for relocation then.

Her husband told her to just leave

and forget about that beast.

Yet she

abandoned her husband and daughter,

never to return.

The authenticity of this story needs verification.

Also,

have you ever considered

that the woman

might not have come back

because something happened to her?

I'll make more inquiries.

Abandoned her husband and daughter.

She had a daughter?

We guessed wrong.

The other wasn't a savage.

It was her daughter.

The relic of ill omen is incomplete.

She gave the amber

to her daughter.

This world is vast.

Where could it be?

Miss, upstairs.

Miss, upstairs.

Pingting,

are you talking about Mu Dai?

She's not here. She can't go upstairs.

No idea why,

but she's been

saying that all day.

Not Mu Dai.

Pingting,

are you saying

a girl did go upstairs?

Which girl?

Then

where is this Sunny Doll from?

I don't remember exactly.

Some rainy place.

Lian Shu?

I'll leave if there's nothing else.

I'm meeting Mr. Zheng tomorrow to check samples anyway.

Then I'll handle the wallpaper samples tomorrow.

As one of the shareholders of Phoenix Pavilion,

I should do my part.

Wow ,who are you?

You look familiar.

I think you might be

[Destiny Bar] a former employee here.

No, Mr. Zhang,

please don't say that.

I swear I won't do it again.

Never again.

Mr. Zhang,

I think the kid's apology

sounds sincere.

Right.

Besides, the temps

we've been interviewing lately

are slow.

They're all clumsy.

This kid's worth three of them.

I'm sharp.

Listen,

this better not happen again.

It won't happen again.

Come on in and get to work.

Thirteen-Thousand, Chubby, get in the car!

Sorry for the trouble.

Love you, Mr. Zhang.

You...

What kind of nonsense is that?

So you're saying Lian Shu is that woman's daughter

and she's kidnapped Lady Dai?

Wait, was the amber on that woman

the one my master pried off?

Lian Shu kidnapped her?

Is this revenge?

Any leads?

They said they drove off

in a white car.

They left for an hour or two.

That's impossible to track.

Should we call the police?

The police?

The sales guy said

they were laughing and chatting,

got into the car with barbecue.

What evidence do we have?

How do we prove it was a kidnapping?

Then we do it the hard way.

Check every security camera along the route.

Let's go.

Here.

Right here.

Hurry.

Thanks.

What do you want?

What are you doing?

I don't know what I'm doing.

I just thought you'd look good

hanging there.

How did I offend you?

You didn't offend me.

You offended it.

Thin.

Flaky.

With jagged fractures.

She might not even have understood

what was happening.

To her, the amber

was a life-saving treasure.

So

she shared it with her child.

Is your hometown Yueliang Mountain?

You have a sister who's a savage, right?

That filthy little beast.

My sister?

She was never worthy.

But your mom cared for her.

My mom was insane.

She kept running into the mountains

to raise a savage's child.

The whole village insulted her.

The said she'd bred with a savage.

But she didn't care.

But what about me?

My dad?

Our dignity?

But your mom must have had her reasons

for taking care of her.

Reasons?

She once went into the mountains to gather herbs

and didn't return for days.

My dad grew worried and sent men to search for her.

They found her disheveled,

with some savage.

Anyone could tell

what happened.

My dad killed that beast.

To spare my mom's dignity,

he begged the others

to keep it quiet.

But what did she do?

She claimed she'd been in danger in the mountains

and the savage had saved her.

That my dad had killed her savior

in a misunderstanding.

That she was guilty.

How ridiculous.

As if anyone would believe that.

Why wouldn't you believe your mom?

What if she was telling the truth?

Because she made it up!

She knew she'd been defiled and was too ashamed,

so she spun that ridiculous story about gratitude.

Would someone abandon her own child just to repay a debt of gratitude?

I was her daughter.

Mom, this amber is so pretty.

Doesn't its color look like honey?

Yeah.

Sweet as honey,

a charm for good fortune and health.

When you're older,

I'll give it to you.

Yay.

Good girl.

She abandoned me

for that monster.

Have you considered

that maybe your mother was killed

and can never come back?

Can never come back?

But she did come back.

Mom!

She left the amber for that little beast

but gave me this hideous thing instead.

Yet sometimes

it feels sentient.

It understands me,

comforts me.

But talking to you is a waste of time.

You might as well die now.
