Original subtitles

It takes a lot of spiritual energy to cast this talisman.

They wanted to take Xue Yang away even when he is already dead.

The Stygian Tiger Amulet must be with Xue Yang.

Sore wa tashika ni koko ni atta mono

What was certainly here

Koko wa tashika ni kimi to deatta basho

This is undeniably the place where I met you

Ai to iu ni wa kantansugite

To call it love is too simple

I lose my words

In the elusive water's mirror

You fade away

I won't give up

Because I just want to be with you

No matter how lonely

No matter how much I think of you

I won't let go of fate

Unmei o hanashi wa shinai

I won't let go of fate

Episode 04 (27) Getting Drunk

Xiao Xingchen, the Moon in Breeze.

Song Zichen, the Gentry Despite Frost.

Such honorable and virtuous men.

What a shame.

What a pity.

No matter how far apart,

they will meet again.

Lan Zhan.

Miss Qing.

Taoist Xiao Xingchen.

Hanguang-jun, aren't you going to stop them?

You go.

All right.

I'll help you to teach them a lesson.

Hey, kids! You are disciples from cultivator clans.

What's the use of burning joss paper?

They're dead. They won't be able to receive them.

There are people living nearby.

If you guys keep burning...

You've never died!

How do you know if they will be able to receive them or not?

How do I know? Well, I...

Even if the dead can't receive any joss paper,

it must be because no one bothered to send them any.

No way.

Was I such a failure in life?

That no one missed me or bothered to send me joss paper?

Lan Zhan, at least you...

We were classmates for three months.

And we even shared a life and death encounter in Muxi Mountain.

And never once have you thought of me?

No joss paper either?

No need.

How is the investigation on the corpse coming along?

The corpse?

The right arm and the Demonic Left Arm are from one corpse.

All of them belong to "Good Brother".

"Good Brother"?

Well, we have to call that poor dismembered corpse something, don't we?

There are whip marks on both his legs.

And

given Xue Yang's vengeful character,

this dismembered and re-attached body is most likely...

Chang Ci'an.

Ripping Good Brother's soul into pieces

and experimenting on Huaicang Mountain.

All of these should be Xue Yang's doing.

And those assassins

followed us all the way to Yi City.

But they only took Xue Yang with them.

I think even they don't know

the exact location of Good Brother's right arm and other parts.

Many called for Xue Yang to be punished

for the massacre of the Chang Clan back then.

Xue Yang is deceitful and cautious.

He must have kept tricks up his sleeve.

So...

Hiding the whereabouts of Good Brother's right arm and other parts

must be one of them.

That's true.

And with the Stygian Tiger Amulet in his hands,

many would hesitate

to deal with him without a plan.

What do you think about the mastermind

behind those assassins?

There are only a handful of people

who could know that Xue Yang was alive

and had the Stygian Tiger Amulet in his possession.

It's about time the mastermind behind the cat corpse incidents

wraps up the game.

Hey, kids!

- We're not your kids! - We're not your kids!

Did you guys find out about anything else

regarding the cat corpse incident?

I mapped the locations

where the cat corpse incidents occurred,

and they all appeared to be in a line

pointed straight to Yi City.

Except for one place.

Oh? And where is that?

(Yunmeng)

(Yunping City)

Oh, going to the temple again?

Yes.

My vegetables!

- Oh, my. That scared me. - What's going on here?

Apple?

Fairy?

Fairy!

Mo Xuanyu,

look what your dumb donkey did!

I... I haven't even said anything about your dog yet!

It bit my donkey first!

How dare you compare your donkey to my spiritual dog?

My uncle gave me Fairy!

Don't try to bring up Lianfang-zun.

Hanguang-jun gave me Apple.

- No way! - That's impossible!

There's no way Hanguang-jun gave Apple to you.

It... It can't be true, right?

There, there, Apple.

We'll take you back to Cloud Recesses to take care of your wounds right away.

- No way! - You can't!

Your donkey is too noisy! The seniors can't concentrate with it there!

We wouldn't have brought it along with us otherwise.

So dumb.

Who are you calling dumb? You're the one who is dumb!

I meant the donkey.

It would not be my fault if you thought I was talking about you.

You...

Noisy.

There sure are a lot of observation towers

for a town this size.

Hanguang-jun. Senior Mo.

The cat corpses were discovered

around the area of the Guanyin Temple.

However, I didn't manage to find any clues

inside the temple.

(Guanyin Temple)

(Peace and Blessings)

Temples are often built within mountains.

It is rare to see one located in a city.

And it has plenty of visitors too.

(Wisdom and Insight)

What's the matter?

(Wisdom and Insight)

Hanguang-jun,

why don't we stay in the city for the night?

All right.

Jingyi and I will go make the arrangements.

Mm.

(Guanyin Temple)

Let it go higher.

That's mine.

Could you give it back to me, please?

Thank you.

(Stygian Tiger Amulet)

"Yiling Patriarch"!

Hurry up! Come on!

Coming!

Did you see that, Lan Zhan?

The rock is the "Stygian Tiger Amulet".

That wooden stick must be "Nostalgia".

- Hurry up. - Let me do it!

Take this!

Oh, the "Sunshot Campaign".

The "sun" fell on its own.

Who will be the "leader" next?

Me, of course.

I'm "Jin Guangyao".

I killed the evil leader of the Wen Clan.

No way.

"Nie Mingjue" fought the most wars and won the most battles.

I am the true leader!

But I'm the "Chief Cultivator"...

So what?

You would still turn tail and run away when you see me!

"Xichen", "Mingjue" wants to hit me again.

All right. That's enough.

I'm the "Yiling Patriarch".

I'm the most powerful!

I suppose I'll take up the burden

of becoming the leader.

No way!

I'm the Three Poisons Sage, "Jiang Cheng"!

I'm the most powerful!

You've never won against me!

How dare you say

that you're the most powerful?

How dare I?

Don't you remember how you died?

(Stygian Tiger Amulet)

Hey! Why did you guys push me?

It was many against one!

That's not fair!

Thank you, Mister.

These are for you.

Come on, Lan Zhan.

(Liquor)

It has been so long since I've had authentic Yunmeng cuisine!

What is the matter?

I miss drinking with someone.

I've brought you wine.

(He Home-brew)

Here. Our famous He Home-brew.

It's strong.

If you don't get drunk off a jar, I'll take your surname.

Give me five jars, then.

Very well, sir. Coming right up.

Ten jars.

Huh?

You wanted to drink, right?

Misters, you don't look like you are from around here.

Have you come to pay a visit to the Guanyin Temple?

Yes. Does it truly work miracles if you pray there?

Of course.

Our Guanyin Temple

was built by a person of importance who happened to pass by the city

and heeded the guidance of heaven and earth.

He is a very influential person.

A person of significance?

What is his name?

Well, I'm not sure about that.

But the temple definitely works miracles.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to suppress those tainted beings and evil spirits.

That place used to be

a courtesan house, you know?

What happened to it then?

I'm not sure. I heard it from someone else as well.

There are a lot of stories behind that temple.

All the locals

go to that temple to pray for health and safety

whenever we run into evil spirits and other tainted beings.

Evil spirits?

This area is under the jurisdiction of the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng.

Why not just go to them?

We wouldn't dare!

Clan Leader Jiang

has a terrifying temper.

In order to capture a great devil,

he often captures suspects and tortures them at the Lotus Cove.

You can hear those awful cries from miles away!

Oh, right! That great devil

is the Yiling Patriarch, "Wei Wuqian" or something.

Mister, you sure can handle your liquor!

You're the first person I've met who's able to hold his own after finishing an entire jar!

Mister, what is your surname?

My...

My surname is Lan.

All right.

From now on,

my surname is Lan!

Lan Zhan!

That's a chili pepper!

Quick. Drink some water.

(He Home-brew)

Lan Zhan.

You're fine

after drinking a whole cup of wine.

Not bad, Lan Zhan.

I can't believe the mighty Hanguang-jun

got drunk after a single cup of wine.

In that case,

have a good night's sleep.

I'll go check out that Guanyin Temple.

Wen...

What do you mean by "One should not take one side of matters as the whole",

and "Its creator might not have intended

to use it for evil"?

Xue Yang may be a monster,

but Wei Ying is worse of evil than he is!

All of those who practice demonic cultivation should be eliminated!

They should all be eradicated!

I'm not trying to absolve Wei Wuxian of his deeds.

I'm merely suggesting

that we should not jump to conclusions

before we learn the entire picture.

"Don't jump to conclusions"?

The murder at Qiongqi Road

and the massacre at Nevernight City,

all of those were done by Wei Ying and the Ghost General!

My parents died

because of them! Is that not so?

I'm sorry.

I was thoughtless.

I misspoke.

I've told you.

It wasn't your fault.

Young Master.

Wen Ning,

one should remember their past.

But they have to look forward to the future as well.

Wei Ying...

Lan Zhan?

You already sobered up?

His... His shoes were put on the wrong way.

Hanguang-jun,

how many fingers am I holding up?

Young Master?

Leave first, Wen Ning.

Lan Zhan, you're drunk.

No.

Where are you going?

Back to Gusu.

Wait!

Um...

You don't want the kids

to see us like this, do you?

Hanguang-jun,

you sure have some interesting things

inside your sleeve.

Do you not like any of them?

Do you prefer joss paper?

Joss paper

is for the deceased.

You are not.

So that's what he meant when he said "no need".

I'm serious, Lan Zhan.

If the kids saw us like this...

Your reputation will be ruined!

Look.

Doesn't this remind you

of the days back when we were studying at the Cloud Recesses?

Me, holding a jar of Emperor's Smile,

and you, trying to capture me to punish me.

More?

(He Home-brew)

Lan Zhan,

you're amazing when you're drunk.

Lan Zhan,

be good and stay here.

When I settle matters here,

I'll go back to Gusu with you,

all right?

Trust me.

I summon the spirits of the dead.

Come forth.

Even that wasn't enough to summon them?

An array.

As expected.

This is also an array taken from my manual on demonic cultivation.

This must be why the culprit behind the cat corpses led us to Yunping City.

This array may be complicated,

but with the right derivation,

one can still find its crux.

Lan Zhan, do you have a piece of paper?

All done.

Oh, my. He sure got away fast.

He stole something of mine.

Aren't you going to go after him?

It is an act.

I will not go after him.

Not bad, Lan Zhan.

Even in this state,

you could still tell that I was pretending.

These people want to use me to find the crux of the array.

But the person who set up the array is also highly skilled.

It'll take more than a day or two

to find the crux.

However,

while the crux I marked was fake,

this linking spell is not.

This is what they call

"Cast a long line to lure in a big catch".

Ai wa shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Ugokidasu yume no saki e

The dream began to move forward

Taenu arasoi no hate ni

What awaits us

Nani ga bokura wo matteiru deshou?

at the end of this unbearable battle?

Sore ga totemo utsukushii no nara

If it was a beautiful

Kokoro wa mitasareteku kara

it would fulfill my heart immensely

Ima, tsukiyo ni hibiita uta

Now, the scent of the tree

Kaze hakobu mokuren no nioi

that sings the poem resonates in the moonlit night

Mahou no you ni kokoro wo tsukande

has seized my heart like magic

Itsu made mo hanasou to wa shinai

that will never be spoken of again

Parapara hora chiru negai ga

I wonder when that desire will fall apart

Itsu kara ka na futari dakara

As long as there are two of us,

Kanaerareru to shinjite

I believe we can make it come true

Sora ni kaeru no sa

Return to the Sky

Ai wo shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari wo tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Urayamu senaka mae ni

The real behind your envious exterior

Bokura niteiru

We are the same

Hontou wa shitteiru no

Do you really know?

Wasure yuku inori ga kienu you ni

Forget about it so that a wish will not fade away

Arigatou tte itta toki,

When you say "thank you",

Boku no kimochi shitta desho...?

Do you really know my feelings?
