[Moonlit Reunion]
2
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:36,000
[Adapted from Fuhua's novel,
Mrs. Mei's Way of Love]
3
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,900
[Episode 17]

00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,600
[Mei Mansion]
5
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,310
Little Loach.
6
00:01:50,350 --> 00:01:52,430
I told you, I'm not a loach.
7
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Well, I got you fried loach anyway.
8
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,280
White Snake said
9
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:59,920
for an injured demon,
10
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,120
what's torn must be healed
within and without.
11
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:05,950
It's almost your size.
12
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,230
How are you going to eat it?
13
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:08,950
I'm not dealing with this.
14
00:02:08,950 --> 00:02:10,040
Figure it out yourself.
15
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,960
How many times do I have to say it?
16
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,870
I am an Obsidian Serpent,
17
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,870
and don't you forget it!
18
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,190
Fine. You don't want it?
19
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:20,000
I'll take it.
20
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,750
This is top-grade ink.
21
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,310
Thankfully, you didn't ruin it.
22
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:41,750
It is perfect for painting.
23
00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:44,310
I'm going to paint a book of demons
24
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:45,750
for Ms. Liu
25
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:46,910
as a gift.
26
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,630
The demons you know
27
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,120
are all
from the Chronicles of the Uncanny
28
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,750
on the table.
29
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:54,960
It's been recorded
by previous generations.
30
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,030
Why paint it again?
31
00:02:57,430 --> 00:03:00,520
Just echoing others
and adding what's not needed.
32
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,520
You wouldn't understand this, would you?
33
00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:03,910
This is the most comprehensive record
34
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:05,400
of all kinds of spirits and demons.
35
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:07,840
You mistook me for a loach sprite.
36
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,800
Guess this book
isn't as great as you think.
37
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:11,710
You...
38
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:12,910
Demons arise
39
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:14,840
from the harmony of heaven and earth,
40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,190
ever-shifting, ever-elusive.
41
00:03:16,870 --> 00:03:18,870
Those unseen and unheard
42
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:21,150
by mortals are countless.
43
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:23,310
I stand above them all.
44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,470
So, you are a mighty one?
45
00:03:27,630 --> 00:03:29,520
I suppose that means
46
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,190
you know everything.
47
00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:31,710
To spare me from your endless questions,
48
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:32,750
which are quite annoying,
49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,190
I'll tell you some stories.
50
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:39,190
Consider it my repayment for your care.
51
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,590
Okay, take your time.
52
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:43,030
I'll draw as you talk.
53
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,630
The tiger reigns supreme
in the mountains.
54
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,560
Today, let me tell you
55
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:23,160
about a tiger demon that gained form
after centuries of cultivation.
56
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:29,040
Its fangs are jagged,
its eyes sharp with spirit.
57
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,390
Having mastered fire magic,
58
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:33,360
it has a flame-shaped mark
between its brows.
59
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Standing three chi tall,
60
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:40,480
it transforms into an eight-chi demon
when its power surges.
61
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,870
When does that happen?
62
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:46,240
When its vital point,
63
00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:48,720
that is, its brow, is attacked.
64
00:04:50,630 --> 00:04:51,870
I see.
65
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:07,430
How's the drawing coming along?
66
00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:11,950
It shakes the heavens
and strides the earth,
67
00:05:11,950 --> 00:05:13,600
ruler of the mountain wilds,
68
00:05:13,950 --> 00:05:15,870
yet this is your depiction? Pathetic.
69
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:18,270
Overall, it's impressive.
70
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,040
It has its unique charm.
71
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:36,310
What do you think?
72
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,750
It's really well done.
73
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,630
So lifelike.
74
00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:45,750
No wonder that ink seemed odd to me.
75
00:06:46,270 --> 00:06:47,950
It actually contained evil arts.
76
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000
It could cause some trouble
for the Demon Market.
77
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:01,750
Something's off.
78
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,070
It has no demon core?
79
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,400
[Duke of Wu's Mansion]
80
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,630
Mr. Mei!
81
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,390
I haven't seen you
at the Xuanjian Division in days.
82
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,440
I've heard so many rumors on the streets
83
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:14,120
that I can't tell what's true
84
00:09:14,670 --> 00:09:16,240
and what's not anymore.
85
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,550
What have you heard?
86
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,870
Word has spread across the city.
87
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:27,870
First, they say
88
00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:31,390
the Princess cast you out of Chang'an.
89
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Then, that she's found herself
a new flame.
90
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,000
And now, they say
91
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,440
two young men have offered
to move into the Duke's Mansion.
92
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:44,910
The gossip never ceases.
93
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,600
One before the last
94
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:48,440
has even had time to die down.
95
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,030
I'm still trying to process
the last round of stories,
96
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:51,720
and already
97
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:54,550
there's talk of the Incense Contest.
98
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,870
The rumors say a highly skilled Mr. Mei
99
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,150
saved the Princess,
100
00:09:59,630 --> 00:10:00,630
and I thought,
101
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,240
could someone that outstanding
102
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,270
really be Mr. Mei Si?
103
00:10:07,390 --> 00:10:09,320
Alright, that's enough chatter.
104
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,000
What brings you here so early?
105
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,030
Something important
106
00:10:13,630 --> 00:10:14,390
came up.
107
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,150
Mr. Mei,
108
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,510
the case is indeed a bit tricky.
109
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,320
What?
110
00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:35,720
What happened?
111
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Little Loach.
112
00:11:55,550 --> 00:11:56,720
What's all the fuss about?
113
00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:59,320
The whole room
was covered in bloodstains.
114
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,910
How did it turn into ink?
115
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:08,600
What bloodstains?
116
00:12:09,150 --> 00:12:11,240
It was probably just a trick of the eye
from lack of sleep.
117
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,840
Little Loach, look at this.
118
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:17,080
Why has this tiger demon faded?
119
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Maybe the ink wasn't properly ground.
120
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240
Ridiculous! I've done it all my life.
121
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,240
There's nothing wrong with it.
122
00:12:22,630 --> 00:12:23,960
Are you questioning me?
123
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,510
I...
124
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,600
I'm not.
125
00:12:27,870 --> 00:12:29,910
Still want stories
of spirits and demons?
126
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,270
Of course I do.
127
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,200
Today, let's begin with the tale
128
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,910
of the pomegranate demon, Pining.
129
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Its head was a pomegranate,
130
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,390
but it posed as a beautiful woman,
131
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,510
using long hair to mask the truth.
132
00:12:58,550 --> 00:13:00,870
In battle, it'd thrash its head around,
133
00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:02,390
flinging its hair aside.
134
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,720
Endless seeds lay within,
135
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,790
sharp as darts,
136
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:11,200
perfect for stealth.
137
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,790
It shakes its head when fighting?
138
00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:20,150
Little Loach,
are you really not tricking me?
139
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,480
Why would I?
140
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,000
It's like that thing you humans have,
141
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,510
what was it called?
142
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,720
A rattle drum.
143
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
I once fought a deer demon
144
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,720
with eyes sprouting from its back,
145
00:13:47,790 --> 00:13:49,550
ever swiveling, ever watching.
146
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,550
It saw in every direction.
147
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:55,030
Four razor-sharp antlers
crowned its head.
148
00:13:55,390 --> 00:13:56,200
They say it often sharpened its antlers
149
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,480
on venomous tree bark.
150
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,960
Over time,
151
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:02,910
they became laced with deadly poison,
152
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,840
nearly impossible to cure.
153
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,550
In this world,
154
00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:13,200
not only can plants and beasts
turn into demons,
155
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:15,550
but even objects,
once stained with blood,
156
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:17,600
become vessels of malevolence.
157
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,150
A demon was born
158
00:14:20,390 --> 00:14:24,320
from a jade dice in a gambling house.
159
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:26,000
Legend says
160
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,320
a gambler, driven mad by loss,
161
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:30,910
began slashing wildly.
162
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,270
His blood splattered on the dice,
163
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,120
making it malevolent.
164
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,840
Though small,
165
00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:40,750
it was vicious.
166
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:44,910
Its six sides bore
167
00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:46,440
twenty-one crimson eyes.
168
00:14:47,390 --> 00:14:50,360
The more bloodshed it saw,
the more frenzied it became.
169
00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:54,440
I remember a temple,
170
00:14:54,670 --> 00:14:56,150
forsaken and forgotten.
171
00:14:56,630 --> 00:14:59,390
In its front courtyard
lay a shattered water jar.
172
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Though it could no longer hold water,
173
00:15:02,630 --> 00:15:05,240
its fractured form could ride the wind
174
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,870
and channel its whispers into a weapon.
175
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,030
The moon is veiled by a sea of stars,
176
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,670
while strange omens below arise.
177
00:15:21,510 --> 00:15:24,200
Just last night,
178
00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:26,960
a wicked demon appeared in Chang'an
179
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,000
with a form woven from smoke and shadow,
180
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440
restless and ever-changing.
181
00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:38,910
It looks like fear will grip Chang'an.
182
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:44,240
Have you heard
183
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,840
there's a demon in Chang'an?
184
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,390
The liquor seller says it's a pig demon.
185
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,720
Nonsense! It's clearly a fox demon.
186
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,910
Excuse me, gentlemen, where did you hear

Mr. Mei, what were you talking about?
194
00:16:08,030 --> 00:16:09,750
I heard that many people in Chang'an
195
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,720
have started discussing
supernatural events.
196
00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:12,600
Impossible.
197
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,510
We told the locals clearly
198
00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:16,960
not to mention this to anyone outside,
199
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,790
as we didn't want to stir up panic.
200
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,510
If it's spread this far in under a day,
201
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:24,840
we're dealing with
more than just rumors.
202
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,840
You mean
203
00:16:28,510 --> 00:16:30,630
someone is fanning the flames
behind the scenes?
204
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,320
I wouldn't rule it out.
205
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,440
Mr. Mei,
206
00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:35,720
you want me to look into
207
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,360
the registration records
of the ink house?
208
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:41,390
I think the ink
is the key to those traces.
209
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,670
But the power inside it is not demonic.
210
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,670
It feels more like
some kind of dark art.
211
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,840
- Dark art?
- Dark art?
212
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,550
- What is it?
- What is it?
213
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:54,480
Have you ever heard of
Conscious Imbuement?
214
00:16:55,150 --> 00:16:55,960
No.
215
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Simply put, it's a forbidden technique
216
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:01,080
learned not through years of training,
217
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:04,030
but by sacrificing one's body.
218
00:17:04,270 --> 00:17:05,030
Then, Mr. Mei,
219
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,080
how did you figure out this case
220
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,390
involved Conscious Imbuement?
221
00:17:08,550 --> 00:17:09,350
Yeah, exactly.
222
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,750
Any true demon leaves behind a body.
223
00:17:12,830 --> 00:17:14,590
There's no way it could just vanish.
224
00:17:15,070 --> 00:17:17,030
If nothing remains, it wasn't a demon.
225
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,680
Conscious Imbuement means
226
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:20,720
embedding part of one's mind
227
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,160

The traces left after the tiger's death
230
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,240
are its external manifestation.

Here you are.
234
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:43,000
So, how should we investigate
this practitioner?
235
00:17:43,550 --> 00:17:45,160
Starting from the ink house?
