The Journey of Chongzi Adapted from "The Journey of Chongzi" by Shu Ke

Episode 3

Don't look at me, we don't know each other.

My name is...

Ugly girl.

You are ugly.

It's you!

Are you Qin...

Qin Ke?

You still remember my name.

This is Qin Ke from Chenzhou,

greetings to Sage Tianji and Councilor Sage.

Ugly girl.

I know you're making fun of me.

You are the disciple of Sage Tianji.

How could I make fun of you?

And I remember you pleaded for me back then.

I wasn't pleading for you.

I just can't stand the weak being bullied.

I am not weak at all.

Then why have you been hiding on Zizhu Peak

all these years and dared not come out?

I...

I was concentrating on practicing the breathing method.

You only learned the breathing method?

Hasn't your master

ever taught you other immortal techniques?

My master told me not to worry.

Did you receive private lessons?

Nonsense.

Since the mentorship at Liuhe Hall,

Master began to teach all of us to practice the techniques.

Well...

My master made his own arrangements.

Your techniques are not worth showing off.

You just saw it.

I can do more.

Aren't you very courageous?

Ugly girl, stand still.

We are about to fly.

Qin Ke.

How long will it take to practice to fly like you?

I am not stepping on clouds.

I rely on the magic weapon, the Bahuang Sword.

It's like a good friend to me.

How can I get the Bahuang Sword?

I also want a good friend.

Didn't your master give you a magic weapon?

No.

Look.

That's the Nanhua Peak.

It was the mountain road that we took

when we came to apprentice.

From here, the main peak doesn't seem to be that high.

Isn't it high?

Do other mountains look like earth slopes to you?

Where is that?

So nice.

That's the Immortal Fruit Forest, and I haven't been there yet.

I'll be there with you.

So many fruits.

It is said that the seeds of crimson bead

come from the God World,

which can increase spiritual power.

So generally speaking, Councilor only uses them

to entertain the lords of various sects.

Disciples like us are not qualified to eat them.

Delicious.

- What did you say? - No!

Let's go to check.

- Over there. - Go.

Want one?

Why are we escaping?

This is my first time going down the mountain,

and I don't recognize the forest.

If we are blamed, I will make an apology to the Councilor.

After all, I've had it.

How about we each eat half of it?

Even if we are fined, it's worth it.

I'm not afraid of being punished.

My master is the person who treats me the best

in the whole Nanhua, no, the whole world.

She had only been down the mountain for half a day,

and she caused so much trouble.

Chong Zi.

How dare you steal the crimson bead?

I... I picked it openly.

Besides, no one was watching that forest.

How do I know we can't pick it?

A beggar can never change the habit of stealing.

Why are you so unreasonable?

I said I didn't steal.

If I did, how could I eat this fruit

in front of Senior Qin?

Miaoyuan.

Chong Zi didn't know that the crimson bead can't be eaten.

I didn't remind her.

Don't speak for her.

She has been in Nanhua for three years,

doesn't she even understand the most basic rules?

Why do you need to teach her?

Since she doesn't understand,

it's not too late to learn now,

so as not to break Nanhua's rules in the future.

I will take her to the Patriarch's Hall to learn now.

Let me go.

Chong Zi.

- Senior Mu. - Senior Mu.

Senior Mu.

You still remember me?

You are the disciple of Sage Chonghua.

How could I forget you?

I got what happened.

Chong Zi didn't know that the immortal fruits can't be picked up at will.

Forget it this time.

Don't do this again.

Why?

Senior Mu.

She did something wrong, she should be punished

so that she can learn a lesson.

How could you...

Qin Ke.

Why did you take Chong Zi to the Immortal Fruit Forest without authorization?

Those of the Immortal World should

guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

It is a taboo to show off after only learning the basics.

Fortunately, Chong Zi is fine.

Otherwise,

how could you explain to Sage Chonghua?

Senior Mu, it's my fault.

I'm going to get punished.

It's not a big deal.

Just copy the scriptures once.

You should go.

Thank you, Senior.

[Liuhe Hall]

Miaoyuan.

It is a good thing that you maintain the rules of Nanhua.

But if this happens again, don't argue with others,

just remit it to me directly.

Also,

don't tell the Councilor about what happened today.

Understand?

Yes.

I acted impulsively.

Thank you, Senior Mu, for your advice.

Let Sage Chonghua

deal with the crimson bead.

Chong Zi.

You've grown up.

You can't be as immature as when you first came here.

Understand?

I'd like to.

But Senior, look.

Everyone else knows that we can't eat the crimson bead,

except for me.

I don't know any rules, or any spells.

I thought that after apprenticeship,

everyone followed the Master to retreat on the mountain.

I just found out today that I'm the only one like this.

I don't even have a magic weapon.

Today I was even ridiculed by Senior Miaoyuan

because I haven't been to the Patriarch's Hall.

Really?

They also said that I am not worthy to be a sage's disciple.

Is a sage's discipline

someone that others can discuss in private?

Don't worry.

There are no taboos in the Patriarch's Hall.

I'll take you around.

Let's go.

[Patriarch's Hall]

[Immortal's Memorial Tablet]

Senior Mu.

What's that?

This is Tianmo Token,

a Demon King's token.

Is it... Is it from the Demon World?

Chong Zi.

When you cultivate in Nanhua, you should be impenetrable.

You don't have to be afraid of this thing.

What's wrong with you?

Senior Mu.

I'm afraid of Tianmo Token.

It is common to be afraid when seeing something

from the Demon World for the first time.

The Tianmo Token is sealed, it's okay.

Senior Mu, I have something to do.

I am leaving.

Is the crimson bead delicious?

Master.

You knew everything?

Senior Mu dared not lie to me.

You are such a troublemaker.

Qin Ke is also unruly.

Copying scriptures is too easy for him.

Master.

Sorry.

I really wanted to go down the mountain this time.

I've had enough fun.

I swear that without permission from you,

I will never go down the mountain again.

Good.

But

isn't it just a crimson bead?

It's nothing precious.

Sima Miaoyuan was exaggerating.

What is there in Nanhua Mountain

that my disciple cannot have?

It's just that it's too wasteful for you to eat like this.

Next time I will refine it into a pill

to replenish your spiritual energy.

I know you are the best.

Now I will give you the second rule of Zizhu Peak.

Don't be aggressive outside, don't bully others,

and don't be bullied by others.

Yes, I will keep it in mind.

You mean I can go down the mountain now?

Yes.

But never make any trouble.

Do you think Nanhua Mountain is Zizhu Peak?

Thank you, Master.

But...

But what?

But I found out that the seniors

who went to Nanhua Mountain with me have all learned spells.

Only me can do nothing.

And I have never been to the Patriarch's Hall.

Master, why don't you teach me anything?

[Xi]

[Xi]

Xichun Restaurant's pastries.

Master, have you been to Panhai Town?

Eat it now.

It's still as tasty as I remembered.

You are not a kid anymore.

Why do you always get dirty while eating?

Because you don't need to know these.

They will leave their masters one day,

so they have to learn spells.

But you won't leave me.

So you don't need to learn.

You are just coaxing me.

How come?

Or do you want to leave me?

No.

I never thought of leaving you.

Junior.

You practice this swordsmanship day and night.

You should be good at it.

What's wrong with you today?

Miaoyuan, your swordsmanship is getting better.

I'm inferior to you.

Liar.

You've been out of mind

since Chong Zi went down the mountain.

Are you still thinking about her?

Not at all.

I grew up with you.

I know what's on your mind.

I was just thinking that

if Sage Chonghua never taught Chong Zi anything,

how could she gain a foothold in the Immortal World in the future?

I want to help her.

But I can't seem to do anything.

Why are you thinking so much?

It's none of your business.

Don't forget that it's because of her

that you were punished by Senior Mu to copy scriptures.

Never think about her again.

If there is nothing else, I am leaving.

She is a beggar who knows nothing.

On the day of apprenticeship, you also saw that

she is with evil breath.

No one knows what she is.

Qin Ke, Chong Zi would only bring you trouble.

Don't be entangled with her.

It's for your own good.

I mean it.

I heard that

you let Chong Zi leave the Zizhu Peak yesterday.

I think she is noisy.

I don't think so.

It must be because you want to show off with your disciple.

But she doesn't know anything,

the same as when she first came here three years ago.

The disciples who came to Nanhua with her back then,

no matter how ordinary their qualifications are,

they are already proficient in basic swordsmanship.

Aren't you afraid that she will be paranoid

after discovering something?

Isn't it that you

want her to know no spells?

As you can see, when she didn't learn spells

and stayed with me on Zizhu peak every day,

she never showed any evil breath, let alone hurt anyone.

Please rest assured.

In fact,

I was also worried that she didn't know any spells,

but when I thought that

she would not leave me and Zizhu Peak because of this,

I thought it was okay.

Now that you've said that, I don't have to worry about it.

Yinfan, however, if she can't do anything in the future,

it's a pity that no one will inherit your superb spells.

Don't you consider taking in more disciples?

Chong Zi is my only disciple.

The pendant is finally ready.

I wonder if Master will think that

I've grown up after receiving the gift,

and I am no longer the troublesome Chong Zi I used to be.

Who are you?

I have engraved this pendant for many days,

and it is a gift to Master.

Why did you destroy it?

Master said that I shall not kill, hurt others,

or harm the innocent.

I won't hurt you.

But don't bite me.

You little thing.

I asked you to guard Zizhu Peak, not to hurt others.

You are so tiny.

All right.

Lion.

Did it hurt you?

Master, don't blame it.

It was my fault.

You said I was not allowed to enter this forest.

But I still broke in.

Master.

This is my gift to you.

It's okay.

Fortunately, you are fine.

It's raised by me and is called Lion.

I rescued it from the Demon World a hundred years ago,

and brought it back to Nanhua.

It's wild but kindhearted.

It has been guarding Zizhu Peak

in the depths of this forest.

As soon as your master heard Lion's yell,

he worried that you were in danger.

You are so lucky to have a good master.

When you confronted Lion just now,

you controlled the evil breath.

It's a progress.

I promised you not to kill,

nor to have the intention of harming others.

As long as you have good thoughts and don't do evil things,

you can naturally suppress the evil breath.

Maybe one day it will even disappear.

Don't worry, Master, I won't do bad things.

I met an Immortal like you before.

He was dressed in white, and I didn't know his name,

so I called him Mr. Immortal.

He put a spell on me,

as long as someone hit me, that person would fly out.

But it didn't work soon.

When?

It didn't work soon after I met him.

There is no such person in the world,

so the spell was solved naturally.

Is he

gone?

He's dead?

Immortals also die?

Immortals won't die easily.

But then something happened.

The sword of Ni Lun was stolen,

and the Demon King Wan Jie appeared in the world.

None of the three thousand disciples

who escorted the sword of Ni Lun back was spared.

Chong.

Do you remember what that man looked like?

He is as good-looking as you.

Did he have a sword with him?

You've been chasing for so long, it's time to end.

Wan Jie, you have nowhere to escape.

Hand over the sword, and I can make your death easier.

So overconfident.

The Ninth Heaven Thunder Fire Array.

What an insignificant skill.

Enough?

Piss off.

The sword of Ni Lun!

Run!

Run!

Come on.

I'm going to bring Keran back.

Master.

You know what?

I came to Nanhua because of Mr. Immortal's encouragement.

I want to learn spells, and to protect the people

I want to protect like him.

Master, do you have someone you want to protect?

We in the Immortal World care about the common people.

What about you?

Who do you want to protect?

I want to protect Dou from being bullied all the time.

And

you.

I don't want you to die like Mr. Immortal.

I won't die so easily.

I know that you have great spells.

You put others first in everything,

and never think about yourself.

I just thought that

since you protect the common people in the world,

I will protect you.

I know I'm a little overwhelmed.

But if you don't teach me anything, I will never be strong.

Then if you are in danger, I can only stand by and watch.

Don't worry.

I won't let this happen.

Do you really want to go back to the Mortal World?

[Panhai Town]

Miss, take a look at the umbrellas.

Okay.

I almost can't recognize Panhai Town.

It wasn't so prosperous here before.

I can't find Dou.

Perhaps she's no longer a beggar.

[Xichun Restaurant] Take your time.

Even if we can't find her today, there is still a chance.

We can find her anyway.

Does it really taste good?

The pastries here are the best.

[Xichun Restaurant] I bought some plum blossom puff pastries today.

The taste is irresistible.

You have to try it.

[Xichun Restaurant]

What?

Hungry?

Although I was begging around here before,

I had never taken a whole piece of the dessert here.

Once, Dou stole a piece of lotus seed pastry for me.

But it was grabbed.

The two of us had to lick the puff pastry in her hands.

But that was delicious too.

Take a try.

It's delicious.

I'm here with you.

You should eat alone.

Master.

Just try it.

It really tastes good.

Come on.

Take a try.

Take a try.

How is it?

- Really nice. - I told you.

You will like to eat what I like.

Master.

They say fine food goes well with good wine.

May I try it today too?

So that's what you came up with.

Forget it.

It's all up to you today.

Chong.

Thank you, Master.

Master.

It's so spicy.

Why so spicy?

Are you okay?

Yes.

[Xichun Restaurant]

Cheers.

Chong.

Chong.

You are drunk.

- No more wine. - You can't drink anymore.

Give it to me.

I'm not drunk.

Chong.

Give it to me.

Listen to me.

I'm not drunk.

Drunk?

I'm

so happy now.

Master.

Being drunk is to be happy?

Are you drunk then?

Of course I won't be drunk.

No way.

Then drink more.

- Drink. - All right.

Why are you pretending to be innocent?

It's your honor to drink.

Sir.

Calm down.

Hong Dou, apologize to him.

Sir.

She's not feeling well today.

Sorry to offend you.

Drink.

Drink.

Sir.

Where are you from?

Leave us alone.

You come here to drink with evil intentions.

You are not worthy of the fine wines from Xichun Restaurant.

I will hit you in the mouth.

How dare you hit me?

I will hit your hands.

Don't you know that one should never hit others in the face?

I will hit you.

Hit you.

Hit you.

Don't move.

Pay.

This...

It's for your wine.

Thank you.

Miss, take the money.

Miss.

Why are you staring at me?

I'm not.

I think you look like a friend of mine.

I wonder how she is doing now.

Thank you for your help, Master, so that

I upheld justice for that girl.

Look at you.

I really have to teach you some spells in the future.

Otherwise, I will worry about you.

Sorry, Chongzi.

Master is so handsome.

Chong.

What are you looking at?

Master.

I'm so hot.

I want to get some fresh air.

Chong.

Wait for me here.

[Xichun Restaurant]

Master.

I'm an immortal of Nanhua.

My Master is Luo Yinfan, Sage Chonghua.

If you dare to do anything to me,

my master will not spare you.

Hide yourself.

Go back with me.

You wish!

Master, he ran away.

Why not hunt him down?

Let's go back to Chonghua Palace now.

[Chonghua Palace] Right.

We also just got the news.

He killed the disciple of Changsheng Palace,

and even uttered wild words

that he wanted to take Gong Keran away.

Qinghua Palace has now received a request for help.

Lord Ming hopes that Gong Keran

could hide in Qinghua Palace,

and he would use the birthday of Lord Zhuo to

ambush Wan Jie and regain the demon sword.

Now Miss Gong

temporarily lives in the Dragon Abyss in the East Sea.

This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack,

and this time all the immortals are gathered together.

Even if he dares to come to rescue again,

we will be able to trap him.

Wan Jie did play a risky move.

But since he dared to take such a big risk,

we should be more careful in dealing with it.

How about I go to Qinghua

to celebrate the birthday on behalf of Nanhua?

Shall we send disciples to support you?

No need.

None of you understand Wan Jie's tricks better than I do.

It makes sense.

After all, you and Wan Jie...

Yinfan.

This gold-rimmed nanmu medicine box is quite rare.

Choose a superior elixir and put it in it

as a birthday gift for Lord Zhuo.

[Chonghua Palace]

As soon as Master came back,

he went to discuss the matter with them.

What are they talking about?

Chong Zi is my disciple.

Whether she goes or stays is up to me.

It would not be a good thing for your disciple

if Wan Jie had his eye on Chong Zi.

I will teach her protective techniques to deal with demons.

What?

You are going to teach her immortal techniques?

You... Aren't you afraid of arousing her evil breath?

In the past, she just stayed in Nanhua,

so naturally she didn't need to learn spells.

But now the crisis is approaching.

I don't expect her to uphold justice.

I just hope she can take care of herself while I'm away.

You... You must be crazy.

Her inborn evil breath is already dangerous.

If she cultivates the immortal bones and stays in Nanhua,

there will be endless troubles in the future.

Could there be another... Another...

Why are you going to do this?

Nothing special.

My disciple has good thoughts and has never done evil.

I have no reason to let her go.

Then I will send her into Sifang Furnace,

break up her primordial spirit,

[Chonghua Palace] and let her stay in Nanhua forever.

Try it if you dare.

I'm the Councilor Sage of Nanhua.

I would never take a chance on this.

Senior, if this is spread out,

others will definitely say that Nanhua's people killed innocent people indiscriminately.

We'll lose our reputation.

We'd lose our reputation

only when a Demon King appears in Nanhua.

Yinfan.

You might as well hide Chong Zi in the countryside,

away from the disputes of the six worlds.

It's also a way.

I'm not going anywhere.

My master needs someone by his side.

Nobody but I know how to take care of him.

My master likes to drink on Zizhu Peak.

And he never does cleaning after drunk.

And the pharmacy is in a mess.

I have to clean it every day.

Clothes are all over the floor

and it takes me a lot of time to pack them up.

Enough.

I thought life was really hard in the Mortal World.

I didn't expect that it would be more difficult

to take care of Master in Nanhua.

Nonsense!

Yinfan.

You just let her say that about you?

She's exaggerating.

But it is true that Chong manages Chonghua Palace.

You!

It turned out that Master saw all my hard work.

It's worth it for me to do so much.

I am willing to share worries for Master.

You!

Councilor.

Master.

Master.

What? The show isn't over yet?

You still owe me an explanation.

Do you want to slip away?

Why should I?

I see.

Master is also hesitating whether to send me away.

Go.

Where are you going?

Didn't Sage Tianji ask you to send me to the countryside?

What else have you heard?

Just that one sentence made me break in.

That's just what they said.

I didn't agree.

Anyway, if you want to send me away,

I will pour ink into the Four Seas

and set fire to Zizhu Peak.

By then, I will let everyone know that you are not

a serious immortal.

You like to drink in private,

and you secretly go fishing with Sage Tianji.

And everyone will laugh at you

for being a drunkard or a blind sage.

Master.

Why is this medicine not that bitter?

It's specially prepared for you.

So I added some purple stamen honey.

People say yes to those they owe.

Now that you eat this, you can never ruin the Four Seas

and burn the Zizhu Peak.

You must be afraid.

You'll make me leave Zizhu Peak,

over my dead body.

Silly kid.

Do not talk lightly about life and death.

But

if Zizhu Peak loses Chong,

maybe all seasons will become boring.

Take it for me.

It takes a hundred years to refine one Nine-time Refined Elixir.

Keep it for me.

And you will dedicate it to Lord Zhuo later.

Are you going to take me to Qinghua Palace?

I'm afraid you are playful.

It's better to take you by my side.

Master is so nice.

It turned out that I had suffered so much

in order to meet Master.

I wish I could meet you earlier

and bring you by my side.

That way,

you wouldn't have gone through so many ups and downs.

It's my fault for disturbing your mood.

Why are you here?

This place

is too lonely

for you.

It's better to go back to Demon King Hall

to play Guqin and perform music, accompanied by beautiful women.

Wouldn't it be fun?

Demon Palace?

Do you think you are qualified to say the words "go back"?

Wang Yue, you are clear that

I never belonged to you.

So, as the Demon King,

I've come to invite you myself.

Do you think I will be grateful?

Without you,

how could there be Wan Jie today?

Keran.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master. Master.

Master, what happened?

No.

The demons have broken the barrier.

You

have to protect the sword of Ni Lun.

- It can't be obtained... - Master.

By the demons.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Senior.

Let her go.

You came just in time.

Hand over the sword of Ni Lun.

You wish!

Senior.

Are you Tian Zhixie,

protector of the Demon Palace?
