Deer, I hear some noise!

I'll go take a look You stay put and don't run about.

Who are you. How dare you barge into Mount Tian Shou!

I am Li Jing Chief Commander of Chen Tang Rass

I'm hunting for deer. Please make way for me.

You're going to kill my deer? Scram! You're not welcome here!

Lad, my master is critically ill and needs the blood of deer.

Your master's life is important, but not the life of my deer?

You'd better wise up and scram! Or else, I'll pull no punches!

Pardon my defiance then!

How could I miss him! Watch me again!'

Deer! Run!

Run! Run!

Run! Quick!

Why aren't you fleeing? Come on, run!

That's it.

Scoundrel!

I got an idea!

So Nezha was Huo Xing Jun in his previous life.

No wonder old folks would refer, naughty kids as little Xingjun.

Oh my the family in which Huode Xingjun is reborn

will surely run into trouble.

Time flies. 3 years and 6 months have passed.

Mean while,

Li Jing receives orders to fight the Flying Dragon General.

Look out!

- Shiniang! - Jing-ge

What are you doing here? You're pregnant and should rest at home.

It's a dangerous battle.

All the more you should stay at home and not run about.

The baby has been in my womb for 3 years and 6 months.

I should be fine.

Enough said. Go home.

Jing-ge, it'll be good if I give birth on the battlefield.

Please don't ask me to leave. Let me stay with you.

I'll be worried about you.

All right, I give in.

Thank you, Jing-ge

I've thought of something after these months of pregnancy.

- What is it? - A name.

Yinzha" for a girl, connoting a silver voice.

"Tongzha" or "Tiezha" for a boy, connoting a strong physique.

Yinzha? Tongzha? Awful names! You're not well-learned.

I'll name the baby "Nezha".

"Hungry"? I didn't starve the baby in my womb.

It's not "hungry" but "Nezha" connoting the elimination of evil.

Good name.

When he grows up. I want him to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

He must live up to our family's well-honoured name of loyalty.

What's the matter with you?

I may not be able to take care of you during the fierce battle.

Take care of yourself Yes. Sir!

See?, I told you!

Four Valiant Generals! Convey my orders to pitch camp!

Shiniang, don't be afraid It'll be fine.

Your Excellency, please leave for a while. She's giving birth

Go out.

Sir! The Flying Dragon General is besieging our camp!

Four Valiant Generals, stand guard outside to protect Madam!

Shiniang, I'll be back soon.

Jing-ge, take care!

I will. You lie down!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Flying Dragon General.

Charge!

Your screams are drowning mine!

Madam, your tummy is expanding and shrinking!

Why is it so?

What are you doing here?

Madam sent us here!

How is she? Has she given birth?

No, Your Excellency. But her tummy is expanding and shrinking.

I don't need your help! Go back and protect Madam!

But over here.

Leave things there to me! Go back now.

Yes, Sir!

Madam...

Why did you come back?

We went to the battleground, but His Excellency sent us back.

Go where you're needed most! A battle is going on! Go now!

Madam,, your tummy is also giving out red light!

Red light? Why?

We don't know why either.

What do you know then?

Your Excellency!

Calm down. The baby is emerging.

Madam.. Trouble!

Of course! I told you not to come back but you defied me!

Madam, His Excellency has been captured by the enemy!

Get ready! I must save him.

Madam, you're giving birth!

I'll stop it! Baby, don't come out yet.

Strike!

Jing-ge, I'm fine. Let's go.

Return!

Jing-ge!

- Madam, terrific! - Of course.

The most terrific of all is Jing-ge!

Bravo, Your Excellency.

You were about to give birth. Why did you come here?

It's dangerous for you to jump about and fight!

Well, as husband and wife, we should fight hand in hand.

My baby is obedient too, knowing that I'm helping you.

Still, what if something happens to the baby?

I'm in pain!

Li, Jing's wife has been carrying the baby for 3 years and 6 months.

All the while, the baby turns and tosses in her womb.

What will Shiniang give birth to?

Don't worry, Your Excellency. Heaven will bless Madam.

She and the baby will be safe.

While you've scored a victory, your wife has gotten a baby.

It's a double blessing.

A healthy baby boy you'll see.

I'm sure His Majesty will reward you handsomely...

and Madam's delivery on the battle- field will be exalted by posterity

- Do you agree? - Yes.

Do you agree?

You really flatter me, my four generals.

What's happened?

A human ball!

Your Excellency!

Madam gave birth to..

She's given birth?

Fear not... I'm your mother.

Good boy.

Monster?

It's not a monster, but our child!

Impossible!

Jing-ge! No!

A handsome boy he is, though a little thin.

What monster are you? Jing-ge.

Look, he's a really little boy. He is our son.

What rubbish! A normal baby wouldn't take 3 years to be born!

Jinzha and Muzha weren't like that.

This is a demon, not my son!

Well, Jinzha and Muzha are normal children.

But this child is special, being a gift from Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess Nuwa?

Yes! Last night... tonight.. one night in the past,

she came to me and congratulated me.

Cut the crap!

Don't play with that!

- You.. - Jing-ge!

Return home!

Yeah, return home!

Jinzha, Muzha, don't be too playful

Yes, Granny.

Now go play with your aunt.

The Li family has a new baby! Congratulations!

Great! We have one more descendant thanks to our ancestors!

Is my grandson lovely? How is he?

Your grandson is of course lovely. He is me, you old muddler!

Little boy.

This is delicious!

I've never come across such a disrespectful child!

Stop running!

Come and get me!

Nezha, shut up and stand there!

No fun!

Jing-er, Shiniang, a timely return! Now who is this rebellious kid?

I can't be bothered with you!

Mother-in-law, he is your grandson.

Boy, greet your granny.

Wait! Let's sort out the relationship first.

Mother-in-law, the Li family is truly blessed.

Sister-in-law, come straight to the point.

This is not an ordinary child!

He's an immortal and a gift from Goddess Nuwa

- Master! - what's up?

Lord Deng, Lord Bi and the others have come to congratulate you.

They're waiting for you in the main hall.

Your Lordships, my master is here.

My greetings to all of you.

General Li, congratulations. You have another baby.

The Li family has one more heroic descendant. Congratulations!

His Majesty wanted to come and offer his congratulations too.

But he's ill and can't make the trip personally.

Even His Majesty has found out?

Good news should travel fast, of course.

We came eagerly on learning about the birth of your son.

General Li is a brave warrior

while his two elder sons are intelligent and well-behaved.

Like father, like son.

Lord Deng, I don't deserve so much praise.

May we know the name of your third son?

His name is Nezha.

Oh, "Nezha". "Ne" connotes the condemnation of evil.

"Nezha", "Nezha"... It carries imposing air. Good name, good name!

You demon! There's no escape for you! I shall eliminate evil!

No! Give me a break, Little Master!

Stop. Stop!

Stop there!

- Stop! - Destroy all demons!

Greet all the uncles here.

This is.

This is...

Good boy... He is my son named Nezha

Your third son? Wasn't he born just a few days ago?

He's a gift from Goddess Nuwa.

Quick, greet the uncles here.

- Deng Jiugong! - What!

Don't!

It You're a smiling tiger! My father says you suck up to His Majesty.

You beast! Shut your trap!

Jing-ge, don't get angry... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- Don't be rude! - You beast.

General Li.

What's going on?

General Li, it's time we left. We'd better not disturb you further.

It's a joyous day since Heaven has blessed you with another son.

We better not disturb your happy family reunion.

- Farewell. - Farewell.

Your son is indeed intelligent

and lovely.

What's happened?

That boy is really too much!

Stop! Stop being so naughty!

Don't come any nearer!

Don't be naughty!

I remember something!

You killed me! You are the murderer!

When did I kill you?

Stop the nonsense! Your father is angry.

4 years ago, you went hunting for a deer to save your king.

But you shot a shepherd boy by mistake.

The shepherd boy was me! You are a murderer!

I see, you were Huode Xingjun!

I killed you in your previous life. So let me kill you again.

Four Valiant Generals! Get him!

No! Let him down! Let him down!

Take him outside!

Let me go!

Grudges contribute to marriage, enmity makes father and son.

This grandson of mine has come to exact revenge.

Let me go!

Jing-ge, spare his life. He is our son!

He's not our son! He is a demon! Make way!

No! No! He's a gift from Goddess Nuwa! Heaven will punish us!

Since Goddess Nuwa sent him, I'll send him back to her

on account of my inability to discipline him!

Molihai! Take him to the Temple of Goddess Nuwa!

No need! I can walk on my own!

Son.

I'll walk there myself! I'd rather stay there than face you, murderer!

Don't block my way! Open the door!

General Li, you scored a resounding victory.

and saved our Shang, Dynasty from an invasion!

You even killed the enemy's chief and boosted our reputation

You have done me proud.

It was only done with Your Majesty's grace and blessing.

General Li is resourceful and valiant.

With you defending Shang, His Majesty has little to worry.

I heard that your wife gave birth on the battlefield

General Li, you've scored a victory and gotten another son.

It is a double blessing.

I shall offer you a toast.

Son, offer wine.

Son, offer wine!

Officials cheers!

Atrocious!

Father, the banquet isn't over yet. What are we doing here?

Go on your knees!

- What wrong did I do? - Kneel!

Give him 30 strokes of the paddle on my behalf!

But I've done nothing wrong. Why should I be punished?

You unfilial son! Tell me how Jie of Xia destroyed his own country!

He was a womanizer and was obsessed with Meixi.

thus neglecting the affairs of state.

Consequently, there were great upheavals in his kingdom.

I'm glad you know! An ancient saying goes.

Protect your subjects as you would your family. You'll then be safe.

Avoid dissolution and show benevolence and virtues.

A dissolute man is inviting disaster upon himself.

A woman's gentle arms could be a hero's grave.

Pretty women would bring you disasters!

For the sake of a dancer, you delayed offering wine to General Li!

What punishment do you deserve for disgracing yourself in Court?

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince merely made a blunder.

Please be appeased.

Father, I've realized my mistake.

I'm getting on in years and can't remain long on the throne.

But how can I entrust my kingdom to you?

Oh, forget it... Both of you, leave!

I am weary.

Weary.

- No! Stop it. - Hit him!

Spare my life! I died yesterday!

What? You died yesterday? Liar! You're alive and talking!

Everybody, whack him! Kill you, kill you!

Spare my life!

Chief, we've caught another one!

- Where are the others? - Fled.

Come with me. The rest of you, stay and whack him!

No, please!

Priests, what happened?

General Li, save us!

You're in such a fluster. What happened in Nuwa Temple?

It wasn't easy for us to escape.

What! You left my son behind? Where is he now? Is he hurt?

No, he's not. But we are hurt.

Your son is hyperactive and he plays a different game every day.

Had we not stopped him in time, he would have burnt down the temple.

Sir, the orphans we took in used to be so well-behaved.

But your son became their leader.

and led them to create havoc, playing games of war.

Games of war! Like his father, he has the makings of a general.

Sir, your son is a gift from Goddess Nuwa.

Ordinary men like us are incapable of taking him in hand.

If Nezha still misbehaves, feel free to punish him.

But he is your son, General Li.

Just do as I say I'll also pay double for your damages.

I can discipline him in any way?

Yes

Chief, why is it pitch-dark? I'm scared.

It's dark because the sun has set. Bandits don't fear the dark!

I know you're hiding her

Come out by the count of 3 or I'll burn down the temple!

Why were you?

I'm not a human. I'm a ghost!

Ghost!

Don't be afraid!. He's a man in disguise!

Cut this act! I, Nezha, am not afraid of you!

Wait for me.

You think you can scare me?

Wait for me.

Child's play! I'm not afraid of you!

Ours isn't child's play.

Who... are you?

Watch and you'll know who I am.

A final victory. We've subdued this little imp. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He doesn't like to see visitors!

That's a drastic change.

Mrs Li, he's in this room.

- Nezha - Meditating again?

He's a good boy. So lovely that I can't help pinching him.

You must be busy, Priest. Jinzha, Muzha, see him out.

You must be busy. Goodbye.

What's is the matter?

This place is haunted!

It's not haunted.

It is! The ghosts take off their heads and lick my face!

Silly boy. There are no ghosts.

Two appeared 2 nights ago and 3 appeared just last night.

They said more could be coming tonight!

Where are you going? You sleep under the bed? Why?

If all the ghosts appear, I'll have nowhere to sleep! Run, Mother!

Don't be afraid. They're coming!

Don't be afraid Get a hold on yourself.

I can't take you away yet.

Please, Mother. I'm scared! Stay with me, Brothers.

Fear not I'll stay with you.

Mother please take Nezha with us.

Don't leave me here.

Be good and I'll think of of a way to get you out.

No! I'm scared! I don't want to stay!

Don't be afraid. I have magical powers.

I'll turn into this pair of shoes and keep you company.

Holding them is just like hugging me.

Really?

Yes. I wouldn't lie to you, son. Do you feel braver now?

Time flies. Soon, Nezha has been in the temple for almost a year.

All this while his mother, Yin Shiniang, has had a very busy time.

She wishes to educate her son and teach him manners,

But as all of you know, she hardly knows much

Fortunately, though Nezha, the incarnation of Huode Xingjun,

is an exceptionally naughty child, he is kind by nature.

His mother's teachings are not wasted on him.

General Li, happy birthday to you! Many happy returns.

The gifts are just a token of our regard.

So kind of you. Thank you.

Put it over there.

Young as they are, they really take after their father.

It's worth celebrating.

You flatter me.

Please drink your fill.

Jing-ge, it's such a happy day.

You're a victorious general well-loved by the people.

His Majesty even bestowed a treasure on you.

To top it all, your three sons are giving you their best wishes.

I only have two sons. Jinzha and Muzha. Do I have a third son?

He's Nezha.

Shut up! Go and play.

Nezha has changed a lot. He behaves himself in the temple.

He even says that he owes his life to his parents. Clever boy.

My Li family only has patriotic heroes, and not demons.

Indeed. Have you forgotten that Nezha is a gift from Goddess Nuwa?

It's Brothers birthday today.

Why touch his raw nerve knowing that he hates the mention of Nezha?

Shiniang, we'll talk after his birthday celebration.

You don't understand Mother-in law. Nezha is a filial boy now.

He told me he was going to make a birthday bun for his father.

Early this morning, he made a dough this big.

He kneaded and kneaded, and made an enormous birthday bun for you.

I won't let him enter my house!

Don't be so hard-hearted.

Master, Lord Chen sent his servant to report that...

there's a hailstorm at his place and he can't come over.

All right. Can't you see we're talking?

If you say Nezha is a gift from Heaven, I'll give him one chance.

Thank you, Jing-ge.

Let Heaven's will be done and you'll then give up.

If Nezha comes home by the hour of "You" and congratulates me,

I will acknowledge him.

If he fails, he shall stay forever in Nuwa Temple!

You're unreasonable! Lord Chen lives near Nuwa Temple.

How can you expect a child to come within 4 hours in this hailstorm?

Are you bullying a kid, Great General?

Molihai! Yes, Sir.

Guard Nezha on the way.

Rescue him if he meets with danger. But do not quicken his pace.

Otherwise, I will not honour my word!

Your Excellency,, Nezha is braving the hailstorm.

with the bun in one hand

and a basket in the other to shelter himself.

Isn't he filial?

Molihai, scout and report again.

Where is he now?

By the stream, but the bun fell into the water and was swept away.

Disappointed, he turned back.

Silly boy. Surely he could come without the bun?

Go escort him back to the temple.

Yes, Old Madam.

It is Heaven's will. Give up on him.

Mother...

Your Excellency. Nezha did not return to Nuwa Temple.

He took two buns from the Earth God and is coming this way.

Great! He's coming!

Seeing that Nezha is undaunted by the heavy rain,

Molihai is deeply moved.

Just then, Nezha turns back again

Nobody could stand, let alone walk, in such a hailstorm.

Nezha is just too small and weak to fight against Nature.

So he has turned back.

He lacks determination.

Your Excellency, Nezha still did not return to Nuwa Temple.

Instead, he took off his cloak and placed it on the Earth God.

He's now on his way again

He is on his way?

Why did he do that?

I don't know.

He took two buns from the Earth God and then gave him his cloak.

It was a favour returned

That shows his sense of righteousness? A teachable boy!

He doesn't seem evil at all.

Instead he's righteous and intelligent.

You're wise to recognize his strengths, Sirs,

unlike somebody who is so superficial

You're only making conjectures.

The greater you hope. the worse the disappointment.

See the hour of "You" is nearing.

He's at our door!

Goddess Nuwa, thank you!

Good, it's a family reunion.

He can't make it! Brother wants Nezha to reach home and...

wish him happy birthday before the hour of "You"

The door is just a few steps away. He can make it.

Here he comes! Nezha!

Son! Are you hurt? Did you have a hard time?

Quick, wish your father a happy birthday.

Nezha!

Don't help him up! That's against the rule!

He must get up on his own!

It's only a few steps away.

General Li, he's already home. Forgive him.

Nezha, are you all right?

Don't cry...

Don't cry anymore. Get up and wish your father a happy birthday.

Jing-er, he's already home Forgive him.

No way! A man must honour his word!

Besides Brother is a great general! He must never compromise!

Missy, don't be petty.

General, surely kindness can be shown despite family rules?

Brother, ignore what they say!

Mind your own business!

This is mean to be a happy occasion.

If that evil boy invites disaster our whole family will be beheaded!

Enough! He is your nephew! Why are you so harsh to him?

Shang-er, live and let live.

Mother, don't be soft-hearted or you'll regret it one day!

Don't we all have sympathy? Why be so insistent?

Right You're one family...

Shut up!

He's not fit to be a Li descendant if he can't take a little hardship!

You turned the copper flask over! It's almost the hour of "You"

Only almost! There's still time!

Right, since there's still time, I will not be unfair to him.

Pick up the copper flask and let the water continue dripping!

Nezha, you're a Li descendant. I'm sure you can do it

That's right You can make it

I'll crawl with you. You can make it

Don't give up. Keep going.

- You can make it. - Keep going.

Keep going.

Father may you be blessed with longevity.

My good son

That is worthy of my Li family!

Marvelous!

Nezha, well done! My good son!

In the coming episode Li Jing will be ordered by the King

to kill his son, Nezha.
