Wake up.

Wake up.

Look,

there's blood on the ground.

The Snake Demon must have gone that way.

Why are there more and more forks in the road?

What place is this?

I miss my grandfather.

I miss my grandfather.

Don't, don't kill us. Please don't kill us.

Don't be afraid.

We're here to rescue you.

Hero,

please let us out.

We beg you.

Have you seen a girl named Zhao Ling'er?

No, we haven't.

What does the Snake Demon do with you?

The Snake Demon captures young girls

to absorb their vital energy

for the Fox Demon's cultivation.

Fox Demon?

Yes.

She's the Snake Demon's wife.

So,

Ling'er must have been captured by those two demons.

Don't worry.

We'll rescue you soon.

Thank you, Miss.

Thank you, Hero. Thank you so much.

(Female Fox Demon)

You hurt my husband.

Hand over Ling'er.

Ling'er? What Ling'er?

Stop talking nonsense and hand over Ling'er.

Or I'll end you here and now for the people.

That's big talk.

The Ling'er girl you're looking for, I ate her.

Can you even kill me?

I'm coming.

Honey!

Where's Ling'er?

Where is Ling'er?

You...

If you release my husband, I'll tell you.

Speak quickly!

She's over there.

Be careful!

Hon...

Honey...

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er!

Li Xiaoyao,

calm down.

Ling'er isn't here.

Let's go look elsewhere.

That Fox Demon said

Ling'er has been...

Do you think she really...

You are a fool.

She said those things just to disturb your mind.

Can you snap out of it?

Let's leave this place

and find another way to locate Ling'er,

okay?

Uncle.

Jinyuan,

this cave is dangerous.

Stay here since you don't know martial arts.

- Li, Yueru, are you alright? - Dad!

- Let's help them first. - It's okay.

Help them first.

Come on, come on.

- Yueru! - This way, this way.

- Father! - Let's go.

Are you alright?

I'm fine. Why are you here?

How could I not come

with that Snake Demon being so powerful?

We killed both the Snake Demon and the Fox Demon.

What?

You really killed the Snake Demon?

Of course.

Then...

Where is Miss Ling'er?

She's not here.

Dad,

since Ling'er disappeared from Lin Fortress,

it's my responsibility to find her.

I know

you think I'm not mature enough,

still reckless and impulsive.

But I want to tell you

I've grown up.

I'm no longer the little girl who cries when she falls.

So,

whether you agree or not today,

I'll take up this responsibility

to find my friend

and ensure her safety.

Yueru,

this is

our family's secret technique,

called "A Throw of Qiankun".

Wandering the martial world

is not like being at home.

No one will be lenient with you.

When it's time to use deadly moves,

you must not hesitate.

Father, you agree?

If I don't,

would you not go?

(A Throw of Qiankun)

With this secret manual,

I won't disgrace Lin Fortress.

Promise me,

once you find Miss Zhao,

come back home immediately.

Rest assured, Father.

Yueru,

you must come back safely.

I'll swear it with a high five.

(Baihe Village)

- Come on, come on. - Slow down.

Miss,

you're awake.

Where am I?

This is the medical hut of Han, the Great Physician.

I'm a medic here.

Physician Han found you unconscious

in the forest while searching for herbs

and brought you here.

These clothes belong to Physician Han's daughter.

Where is this medical hut located?

Just ahead, there's a mountain

called Mount Guiyin.

Behind us is the Baihe Village.

Both I and Physician Han are the villagers.

Did Mr. Han

say if there was anything unusual

about me?

Don't worry, Miss.

Physician Han said

you were just weak and fainted.

There's nothing serious.

That girl must be your friend, right?

Physician Han said when he found you,

she was lying beside you.

Her wrist appeared to have been bitten,

seemingly in an effort to protect you.

Can Physician Han save her?

Save?

She can't be saved.

It's too late now.

(Han, the Great Physician) She was bitten by a corpse demon.

The corpse poisoning

has already begun to spread.

Corpse poisoning?

Currently, I can only use silver needles

to delay the spread of the poison,

but

it's only a matter of a few hours.

Physician Han,

can I

try something?

She's beyond saving.

You might as well

consider her no longer your friend.

You should leave quickly.

This place

is not where you should be.

Physician Han,

please let me try.

(Mount Guiyin)

Be careful, Yueru.

Be careful, careful.

Li.

Li,

let's rest for a bit.

Yeah, with you walking so aimlessly,

how could we find Ling'er?

Let me drink some water.

I'll drink some water.

Take a break.

Don't worry.

Ling'er will be fine.

Since Miss Ling'er wasn't captured by the Snake Demon,

she must be waiting for us somewhere.

Good people are blessed, after all.

No matter how far I need to go,

I must find Ling'er.

Savage girl,

how is your lightness skill?

I'm not sure how good it is,

but it's definitely much better than yours.

Then teach me now.

Now? You want to learn lightness skills?

Learning some might help me move faster,

so I can find Ling'er sooner.

But we're not even sure of the direction now.

Even if you move faster, it wouldn't help, right?

Exactly.

Ling'er just disappeared not long ago.

Even if someone captured her, they couldn't have gone far.

As long as our direction is correct,

we'll definitely find Ling'er soon.

Fool, stop thinking of such nonsense.

Nonsense?

Then tell me,

what's a sensible method?

As if you're the only one worried,

questioning this and that all day.

- Who do you think you are? - I...

Yueru, Li.

She's acting strangely.

You're anxious for Ling'er, which is understandable,

but look at yourself now.

And consider the injuries you've received.

I'm fine. I don't need you to worry about me.

Then do you care about how others feel?

What's wrong with others?

After we fought the Fox Demon,

why didn't you ask if I was hurt?

You weren't hurt, so why would I ask?

How do you know I wasn't hurt?

I was right beside you at the time.

Yueru.

Yueru...

Why are you arguing again?

Scholar, look at her.

Your cousin is being unreasonable.

Li, just calm down.

My cousin, from a young age till now,

has never been in such danger.

Though she doesn't say it,

she must be very nervous inside.

She's just trying to relieve some stress.

Don't take it to heart.

The priority

still is to find Miss Ling'er.

Forget it.

I can't be bothered to argue with her.

You should have asked me.

Whether I answer or not is my business.

But not asking is your fault.

Jerk. You have to provoke me every time.

Next time I'll make sure you cry out loud.

What is all this?

It is said the bodies that don't decompose after a long burial

will have eyes like white pearls,

curved fingers like hooks,

and teeth exposed out of lips like blades.

Such transformed corpses are called corpse demons by the people.

Corpse demons?

What, scared? Then hide.

I'll protect you.

Be careful.

It's said being bitten by a corpse demon can turn you into one too.

Please stop, don't hit me.

Stop hitting me.

Please stop, don't hit me.

Stop hitting me.

Stop, stop hitting me, please.

Help!

It hurts so much.

It hurts!

Stop, stop, stop hitting.

Why stop? Are you scared?

It's not that I'm scared.

It's that ghosts are afraid of people.

Afraid of people?

Corpse demons are transformed from the dead,

naturally having no pain or consciousness.

But these corpse demons,

scared away by you,

must be ordinary people in disguise.

Exactly.

Did you really think I couldn't see through it?

Speak up.

Why pretend to be a corpse demon when you could be a normal person?

Speak. What's your name?

Why dress up as a corpse demon?

I...

My name is Li Si.

This is Mount Guiyin.

Strangers are not allowed to trespass.

Mount Guiyin?

Dragon-hidden Cave is in Mount Guiyin.

Then why are you playing corpse demons here?

Not talking, huh?

Don't hit us. Don't hit us.

We...

We...

We're just

bandits living in Mount Guiyin, trying to make a living.

Bandits?

Our village

used to be here in Mount Guiyin.

Then the corpse demons appeared,

and the young and strong fled.

Only some old people and kids remained.

We really couldn't survive, so

we thought of robbery.

Really.

Just after dealing with the Snake Demon, now it's corpse demons.

Have you seen a girl about 17 or 18 years old,

named Zhao Ling'er?

Zhao Ling'er?

Yes, we've seen her

just now.

Yes, yes, yes.

Why would it be ineffective?

Miss,

seeing you cast spells just now...

Are you a cultivator?

That was the Guanyin Mantra my master taught me.

It can save lives in critical moments.

But for some reason,

it had no effect

on this corpse poisoning.

Why are you here?

I...

I got lost.

Miss, step back.

Don't!

Miss,

you will regret this.

It harms both others and yourself.

Maybe

it was wrong from the start.

I warned you.

Soon the poison will invade your body,

and you will become like her.

Physician Han,

that girl once saved my life.

I cannot watch her die because of me.

Now,

you both will die together.

Are you satisfied?

This corpse poisoning...

Why is it so fierce?

It's all because of Mount Guiyin,

where corpse demons run rampant.

Corpse demons?

I've read about them in books,

but they haven't appeared in the world for hundreds of years.

Why would they appear here?

Is there

no way to vanish them?

Corpse demons are invulnerable to weapons

and release corpse poisoning.

Once infected,

if the poison reaches the heart,

there's no cure.

Sooner or later,

the infected will become a corpse demon.

You mean...

I've tried many methods,

but none can resolve this type of corpse poisoning.

I can only use silver needles to seal the meridians,

delaying the onset of the poison,

while searching for another way to detoxify.

Where

did the corpse demon that attacked us go?

I've already eliminated it.

Why are you unharmed?

And even your wounds are healing.

Come with me.

Anyone poisoned would immediately show black stains,

without exception.

Yet you, after so long,

show no symptoms.

Who exactly are you?

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Help! Where is this?

Are you crazy? Stop shouting.

We got caught because of you.

As soon as the bandits mentioned Ling'er,

you rushed into their trap without thinking.

And you, who hasn't even left Suzhou City, act like an old hand.

Why were you so curious?

I wasn't.

It was just the bandits spreading the drug too widely.

Yueru,

are you okay?

Miss Lin, capable of anything,

yet still got locked up here.

Li Xiaoyao, you...

- What? - Say that again.

Stop it.

Save your energy and think about how to escape.

Li, Yueru, calm down.

What do we do now?

- Find a way out. - Did I ask you?

Li, Yueru,

now is not the time to argue.

Perhaps Miss Ling'er is nearby waiting for us.

Exactly.

Unlike someone who only wastes time.

Scholar.

What's wrong?

Look.

The key is hanging right there.

So far away.

Move aside.

Move aside. Move aside.

Impressive.

Yueru,

I didn't expect your Airy Sword Finger

to be so powerful.

Aim for that direction.

I forgot to say

that for this skill,

I need to rest for two hours after each use.

Sorry, you'll have to figure it out by yourselves.

Yueru,

why does your technique

have such peculiarities?

It wouldn't normally,

but after getting angry just now,

I felt my qi and blood were not flowing smoothly,

so I couldn't use it.

You...

But,

there's still a way.

- She... - Li,

in your opinion,

what should we do?

Boss.

(Third Chief) What's up?

We just captured three people

and locked them up in the dungeon.

Why capture them?

They're not afraid of us at all.

That woman

even whipped us.

If that's the case,

just kill them.

They know our secret now.

Wait a moment.

Wouldn't it be a pity

to kill them just like that?

Come here.

Miss Lin, I was wrong.

What did you say just now?

I didn't hear clearly.

Miss Lin, I was wrong.

Please forgive me

and get us out.

Jinyuan,

I feel much better now.

Aim right.

A little higher.

A little lower.

Good, good. Aim right.

A little lower. A little lower.

Hurry.

- It's coming, it's coming. - Almost there.

You go ahead.

Your legs are longer, hurry up.

- Stretch further. - Stretch your long legs a bit more.

My butt's stuck.

How can you be so useless?

We're almost there, hurry.

Showing off your long legs, right?

- Take them away. - Yes.

She bit you,

and the corpse poisoning seemed to ease.

Why does your blood

have a detoxifying effect?

I...

I don't know.

Physician Han,

staring at me like that

makes me a bit scared.

I earnestly request you to help me save someone.

Everyone, watch closely.

Alright.

Today, I've gathered you all here

mainly because the First Chief of our Baihe Fort

has been ill for a long time.

Despite various treatments, nothing has worked.

So, we plan to resort to some folk remedies.

Does this have anything to do with us?

Of course.

Alright, alright.

We plan to arrange a marriage

to bring joy to our chief to cure her illness.

What?

A marriage for joy?

Why are you all looking at me?

I'm telling you it's impossible.

I just went through a combat for marriage.

Dragging me into a marriage for joy? Impossible.

Everyone, this marriage for joy is just a folk rumor,

can't be taken blindly.

Maybe this is fate.

Don't resist the arrangement of destiny.

He won the combat for marriage.

He's now my husband.

If you want me to bring joy,

you'll have to deal with him first.

Don't listen to her nonsense.

That doesn't count.

This woman was forcing me, and I was coerced.

- When did I force you? - Alright.

I...

You guys, hold them down for me.

Come here.

We...

Stand straight, stand straight.

Who says the marriage for joy can't be with you two?

The marriage for joy is just a folk rumor,

not to be taken blindly.

Yes, yes.

I think there's no need for this.

Li Xiaoyao,

this is fate.

Don't resist the arrangement of destiny.

Scholar,

are you interested?

I won't compete with you.

Li, I've always admired my cousin wholeheartedly,

so naturally, I have no such interest.

Come back.

Boss,

I'm still young.

Indeed very ordinary.

You look clean and well-groomed,

quite handsome.

Being chosen to serve the First Chief

is an honor for me.

However,

I've been suffering from a serious illness since childhood,

whether it's contagious is still uncertain.

It will be okay to serve the First Chief.

Young man,

I saw nothing unusual about you earlier.

Why are you coughing so suddenly now?

Just now, I was solely focused

on being chosen to serve the Chief,

so I was holding it in.

It's alright.

My illness only acts up for a few hours each day.

No big deal.

No big deal.

Scholar is indeed scholarly.

This won't do.

The First Chief is already sick.

Finding her a sick man...

That's even worse.

You. You choose.

Me?

Through a woman's eyes, who's more suitable?

I think if it's for bringing joy,

the goal should be joy, right?

So, definitely someone healthy.

Everything else can come later.

Savage girl, you...

That makes sense.

Our primary task now

is to save the First Chief.

If Chief doesn't like this one's looks,

we can make the change later.

What?

Stop acting.

It's not convincing.

Give him a heavier dose of the drug.

No, no, no. Give me another chance, please.

Shut up.

Hurry, hurry.

Slowly, slowly. Be careful.

Why is the door open?

Don't.

Don't panic.

It must be that the First Chief

knows about the wedding

and is too eager for the wedding night,

waiting for us here.

You, go.

Hurry.

She is inside.

- Hurry, hurry. Hurry up. - Hurry, hurry.

- Lend a hand. - Hurry.

Go, go, go.

Legs, legs...
