Where's my hairpin?

Tang Yu,

I feel at ease with you here.

Where are we?

Tang Yu,

you're not injured, are you?

I am fine.

In that case,

let's hurry and find the Spiritual Beads.

Tang Yu,

what's wrong with you?

Still pretending to be tough?

Clearly, you've been seriously injured.

- Lie down. - My Lady.

Go find the Earth Spiritual Bead.

It might be too late otherwise.

I do want to find the Spiritual Bead,

but with you so seriously injured...

What will you do if I leave?

My Lady,

your task is to find the Spiritual Bead.

My life is not important.

Please, My Lady, consider the bigger picture.

No.

We'll find it together.

I won't leave you behind.

Quick, lie down.

Go!

Protecting you is my duty.

My Lady, think no more of it.

Since you're unwilling

to go in search of the Spiritual Bead,

I shall go on your behalf.

You're right.

I am your master.

You are my guard.

Your life is none of my concern.

- Go. - Go.

Come.

Get up.

Are you alright?

Come, pull him up.

Forget those for now.

Let's deal with the corpse demons first.

Follow me.

- Slow down, Jinyuan. - It's alright. It's alright.

Sit here.

Sit, come sit.

It's okay.

Chief,

the men you sent out

have searched everywhere,

but haven't found Physician Han.

- Search again. - Yes.

Sending more people is useless.

Physician Han is in cahoots with the leader of corpse demons.

Why keep looking for him?

Impossible.

My father could never

be in league with corpse demons.

Then why did he take the leader away?

Could it be he's so benevolent as a physician

that he even wants to cure the leader?

Now,

there are some things I can no longer conceal.

Mount Guiyin was originally a land of extreme yin and malevolence.

Hundreds of years ago, a corpse demon outbreak occurred,

causing great harm to the surrounding villagers

who were powerless to stop it.

Later,

a hero known as the Ghost General used his body as a formation

to suppress the corpse demons.

But the Ghost General was infected by the corpse demons,

turning into one himself.

To prevent corpse demons from reappearing,

we voluntarily built the General's Tomb

and established Baihe Fort,

vowing to guard it for generations.

We are now

the third generation.

You disguised as corpse demons

to protect the General's Tomb?

Exactly.

The General's Tomb had always been impregnable,

and corpse demons never reappeared.

Later generations took it as a legend,

never expecting...

The legend came true.

Chief,

excuse me for asking you this.

If you are tomb guardians,

and you said the Ghost General was a hero,

why has he now become the leader of corpse demons?

And why did Physician Han save him?

I will ask my father about it.

Of course, you must ask him.

Otherwise, how will you explain to the villagers of Baihe Village?

Our chief doesn't need to explain.

- Explain what? - Exactly. We support Chief.

She would never harm us.

She would never hurt us.

Everyone,

I will investigate this matter thoroughly.

If my father really...

I will not let familial affection affect my judgment.

I will give everyone an explanation.

Chief, we believe in you.

Regardless of whether Physician Han is in league with the corpse demons,

now that the leader has appeared

and the corpse demon threat is escalating,

we need to resolve this quickly.

Correct.

The terrain here is complicated, and there are many corpse demons.

Our defensive capabilities are limited.

Moreover, defending is not a long-term solution.

Seeking a way

to defeat the enemy is the best strategy.

To completely resolve this

won't be easy.

Chief,

do you know of anything that the corpse demon fears?

I've never heard of such a thing,

but it's said there's a place in Mount Guiyin

where the corpse demons never approach.

Where is that?

Deep within Mount Guiyin,

there is the Jade Buddha Temple.

In that case,

why haven't you gone to this temple

to seek a solution?

Actually,

some of us had secretly gone there before.

I was injured by a corpse demon,

and my father couldn't cure me.

The Second Chief of our fort went there to seek a cure for me

but has not returned since.

The Third Chief also sent people to look for him,

but they too, never returned.

Never returned?

Could it be that the temple devours people?

Xiaoyao,

let's go to the Jade Buddha Temple.

If there really is a way to solve this there,

nothing could be better.

If not,

we can also go there to see

what exactly happened to those people.

Miss Zhao,

I'm very sorry

to involve you all.

The situation of the Jade Buddha Temple is uncertain.

You must not rashly go there.

Chief,

since we've gotten involved,

we should see it through to the end.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go to the Jade Buddha Temple now.

Good.

Scholar,

you don't need to come with us.

Stay and take care of everyone here.

The more people, the more strength.

- I'm coming with you. No need to say more. - Jinyuan.

As expected.

Then,

you all must be extra careful.

Are you okay? Let's go.

Miss Zhao.

Chief.

Miss Zhao,

our Second Chief is named Jiang Shaoyun.

If you come across him,

please give this to him.

Chief, I understand.

We will definitely bring him back.

Mr Li.

Chief,

rest assured.

If we encounter Physician Han,

we'll first clarify things before deciding whether to fight.

Thank you.

Who does he think he is?

Even if he saved me,

he's just a guard.

Besides, I didn't ask him to save me.

Anyway,

he always annoys me.

He deserves to get hurt.

Nanzhao is still waiting for the Water Spiritual Bead to pray for rain.

His life is nothing compared

to the Five Spiritual Beads.

He's just a guard.

His life is not your concern.

Right.

Not your concern.

Don't think that by doing this,

I'll be grateful to you.

My Lady.

I forgot this.

It's just a small effort.

I'm also just making a small effort.

This is the Zijing Yurong Pill given to me

by my master, the Sacred Maid.

No matter how severe the injury,

it will heal in several days.

Thank you, My Lady.

Don't move.

You're injured.

And,

don't sacrifice the big picture for something small again.

This hairpin

is not important.

Your teachings,

I will definitely bear in mind, My Lady.

My Lady, you...

It's nothing.

Then you should rest a bit.

We'll leave in a while.

Yes.

Look,

we've arrived.

(Jade Buddha Temple)

Baihe Fort lies in ruins,

yet here lies tranquility under the green shade.

Doesn't that seem a bit odd?

Maybe it's the Buddha's protection.

Or it could be an illusion.

We should still be cautious.

Sir, may I ask where your abbot is?

Amitabha.

We are...

Amitabha.

No, we want to...

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

If you say "Amitabha" again, I'll fight you.

I'm asking where your abbot is.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

This monk seems silly

and odd.

I also faintly feel a trace of demonic aura.

How could that be?

This is a thousand-year-old temple.

Why would there be demons?

(Shakya ManiHall)

Let's go in and see.

Amitabha.

Master,

are you the abbot here?

Indeed.

I am Zhixiu.

May I ask why the three of you are here?

Greetings, Master Zhixiu.

I am Li Xiaoyao.

These two are my friends.

Corpse demons from Mount Guiyin have suddenly surged,

causing great harm to the surrounding people.

Hearing of your high spiritual power,

we came to request you to go and subdue the demons

and eliminate the harm for the people.

I am a follower

of Buddhism

and do not concern myself with the secular affairs.

You should return.

Master, that is not right.

It is the natural duty of monks to exorcise demons and maintain justice.

How can this be considered a secular affair?

Mr. Li, you believe that

it is the duty of monks to exorcise demons and maintain justice.

So,

are you willing to do that?

Of course.

As long as it's within my capabilities,

I will do my utmost.

So, do you agree

that one should maintain a compassionate heart to liberate the world from calamity?

It should be so.

Good. It seems that

Mr. Li is indeed a person with the roots of wisdom and Buddha-nature.

You're flattering me.

Please accompany us down the mountain to subdue the demons.

Zhize,

quickly fetch me the razor and monk's robe.

Yes.

Master,

what do you need the razor and monk's robe for?

Of course, to ordain you.

Otherwise, should it be for me and Ling'er?

You have good roots of wisdom, too.

Master, I... I didn't say I wanted to become a monk.

Mr. Li, since you've agreed,

how can you go back on your word so quickly?

When did I agree?

You just said

it's the natural duty of monks to exorcise demons and maintain justice.

I asked if you were willing to do so,

and you agreed.

This...

Xiaoyao.

Well, monks can't get married or have children.

I... I'm not yet married.

It is said, "Of the three unfilial acts, the worst is to have no descendants."

I cannot become a monk.

Mr. Li,

Buddha says, "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.

Everything that appears is illusory."

Why cling to them?

You monk, stop spouting nonsense.

Just tell us the method to exorcise the demons.

Yueru, Xiaoyao,

I think there's no method to exorcise demons here.

Let's leave quickly.

Right.

Oh, Master Zhixiu,

do you have someone named Jiang Shaoyun here?

If he's here, please let us take him back.

Any man who steps into the Jade Buddha Temple,

no matter what his purpose is,

must stay and become a monk.

No exceptions.

Then we'll see if you have the ability to enforce that.

In that case,

please be patient.

There's something wrong with this bell. Be careful.

Quick, cover your ears!

Savage girl!

Ling'er!

Sleep.

Sleep.

All beings suffer.

It's difficult to escape their inner demons.

Only through cultivation

can one follow the right path.

Who else wants to try?

Get on.

Get on. Get on.

Get on. Get on.

I'll give it a try.

Look, look!

It's a phoenix, a phoenix!

And there's someone sitting on it.

Who is that?

That must be a great hero who cultivates immortality.

So impressive!

Impressive!

So majestic!

Could it be him?

Li Xiaoyao, it's you!

Of course, it's me.

Who else could it be?

What are you here for?

To combat for marriage.

Dream on.

We'll see about that after the combat.

(I knew you would use this move.)

Alright.

Li Xiaoyao, admit it.

You're defeated by me.

- Great! - Great!

What are you looking at?

Miss Lin is highly skilled.

I am inferior.

Though I am defeated by you.

I have admired you for a long time.

I hope you will fulfill my wish.

Li Xiaoyao,

let me make it clear.

It's not me marrying into your family.

It's you marrying into my family.

As it should be.

His bride is also beautiful, right?

Yes.

Xiaoyao hasn't returned for many years,

and now he comes back as Xiaoyao, the Hero,

bringing such a beautiful girl with him.

Auntie.

Xiaoyao, you're back.

Auntie, I've been unruly and ignorant in the past,

causing you to worry.

It's good that you're back.

Xiaoyao,

I've heard about your deeds

in the martial world over these years.

You haven't dishonored your parents' good name.

You and Ling'er...

I've met Ling'er's parents.

They've agreed

to betroth Ling'er to me.

Let's hold the wedding for you now.

Good, good, good.

First bow. May the two families unite.

Great! Bravo! Wonderful!

Second bow. May the husband and wife join hands.

- Great! Bravo! - Wonderful!

May you receive the world's blessings

and happiness fill your bridal chamber.

Good, good, good!

Congratulations, congratulations.

Congratulations.

Good!

Congratulations.

Good!

Where's the snake demon?

Who dares to wreak havoc here?

- Surrender now! - Why waste words on a snake demon?

Xiaoyao.

Ling'er?

Zhao Ling'er.

You turned out to be a snake demon.

After all the effort to have me follow you,

what are you plotting?

What else could she plot?

Snake demons are just trying to bewitch people.

I was stupid to treat you like a sister before.

What dark plot do you have by infiltrating the Lin Fortress?

Xiaoyao,

I don't know why either.

I don't know why

I turned into this.

Zhao Ling'er,

the truth is right before our eyes.

You're a snake demon. Stop making excuses.

You snake demon,

we won't be bewitched by you anymore.

Xiaoyao,

Yueru, let me explain.

I'm not a snake demon.

Demons should be eliminated by everyone.

Snake demon,

I'll end you now, to rid the people of harm.

Who are you

to break my Jade Buddha Magical Formation?

Are you the one who trapped us here?

Where are Xiaoyao and Yueru?

They

are enjoying themselves in the formation.

Release them now!

Miss Lin is highly skilled.

I am inferior.

Though I am defeated by you.

I have admired you for a long time.

I hope you will fulfill my wish.

Xiaoyao...

Yueru...

These are projections of their desires.

The more they want something,

the more they'll dream of it.

Xiaoyao, Yueru,

wake up, please!

It's no use.

Unless

they want to wake up themselves,

nobody can wake them.

I'll wake them up no matter what.

No wonder you can break my formation.

Turns out you're not an ordinary person.

To break my formation,

you'll use up all your spiritual power.

If you exhaust your spiritual power,

then your secret

will no longer be hidden.

Secret?

If you break this formation,

your secret will be exposed.

Then,

the thing you fear the most

will become true.

Demons should be eliminated by everyone.

Snake demon,

I'll end you now, to rid the people of harm.

Are others

also trapped in this dream by you?

I'm converting people.

Buddhism is not like this.

Desires in dreams

are also illusory.

Even if you make the dream beautiful,

it's all just an illusion.

All the gods and Buddhas...

This is...

The Jade Buddha Temple.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er, Ling'er, what's wrong?

Wine...

I can still drink.

Savage girl, come to your senses.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Li Xiaoyao,

am I dreaming?

Savage girl, come to your senses.

We were all caught in the old monk's illusion

and passed out.

So, it was all a dream.

Ling'er.

Ling'er.

Xiaoyao.

That's great.

I was so scared just now.

Don't look at me.

Ling'er, what's wrong?

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

- Ling'er. - Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

Ling'er, did you have a nightmare?

Don't be scared. We were just under an illusion.

It's all right now.

To break my formation,

you'll use up all your spiritual power.

Then your secret

will no longer be hidden.

So,

it was all fake.

Ling'er,

don't be afraid.

I'm here to protect you.

No.

I have to settle this with that monk.

You monk, come out!

Xiaoyao.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Let's go.

(Shakya ManiHall)

You monk, come out!

Come out!

I can't take it anymore.

I don't want to be a monk anymore.

I don't want to be a monk anymore.

I don't want to be a monk anymore.

I can't take it anymore!

What's wrong with him?

He must have also been affected by that demon monk's spell.

Who am I?

I seem to have forgotten something important

and an important person.

Who is it?

Who is it?

She is...

Who is she?

Who are you?

This is the token of love I gave to Mengci.

I remember now.

- I am... - Jiang Shaoyun?

I am Jiang Shaoyun.

I am Jiang Shaoyun.

He's the Second Chief of Baihe Fort.

How is Mengci?

Is her illness cured?

Yes, she's fine now.

Quickly wake the others trapped here,

so they can go home.

Then come back to Baihe Fort with us.

Alright.

I'll do it right now.

No wonder they said the Second Chief of Baihe Fort disappeared.

He was trapped by this demon monk.

Let's see how I'll deal with him later.

Since you're here,

don't think about leaving.

Amitabha.

Unexpectedly,

you managed to escape

from my Wujin Bell's illusion.

It won't be so easy this time.

Be careful of his bell.

Stop hitting me. Stop hitting me!

Stop hitting me. Stop hitting me!

Please spare my life. I won't dare do it again.

Don't think I won't beat you

just because you turned into a child.

Tell me.

Why are you harming people?

(Little Stone) I didn't harm anyone.

I just wanted them to become monks.

I didn't force them to do bad things.

Then what kind of demon are you?

I'm not a demon.

I'm transformed from the Buddha beads on Buddha's desk.

I've been cultivating for 9,999 years.

If that's the case,

you should focus on the cultivation

to seek enlightenment,

not force others to become monks.

The scriptures say all beings can be saved.

The scriptures also say everyone has Buddha-nature,

so I thought

if I could make many people become disciples of Buddhism,

the Buddha would be moved

and would take me to heaven to become a Buddha.

What kind of cultivation method is this?

Who taught you this?

I...

I thought of it while reading the scriptures.

The essence of cultivation lies in selflessness and helping others.

Buddha said forsaking one's self is selflessness,

and compassion is helping others.

Yet, your actions are the opposite,

destroying your merit.

It's a pity you have a thousand years of cultivation

but only the wisdom of a child.

Continuing this way,

you might not become a Buddha

but fall into the demonic path instead.

I understand now.

I finally understand why you could break

my Jade Buddha Magical Formation.

Bodhisattva...

You are a Bodhisattva.

I... I... I'm not a Bodhisattva.

Then you're a fairy.

I... I'm not a fairy either.

Miss, I'm really moved.

No one has ever taught me these principles before.

Please take me as your disciple.

I won't take anyone as a disciple.

And these principles

are just something I read in books.

If you won't take me as a disciple,

I'll just kneel here and not get up.

Let him atone for his actions.

We need to subdue the corpse demons.

Maybe this little one can be of use.

Let me follow you.

I can help you subdue the corpse demons.

In that case,

follow me.

From now on, I'll call you Little Stone.

You can come out when you're called.

May I ask how to call you?

I'm Zhao Ling'er.

Then I'll call you Miss Fairy from now on.

You slick talker.

Ling'er,

you look pale.

Let's rest a bit before moving on.

Ling'er, what did you dream about just now?

Just a common nightmare.

If it's a nightmare, forget it quickly.

Silly rat,

tell me. What did you dream about?

Of course, a beautiful dream.

So beautiful I didn't want to wake up.

Tell me. What did you dream about?

Nothing.

Seeing you like this,

you must have dreamed something shameful.

Right, I dreamed about you, the most shameful thing.

The most venomous is in women's hearts.

You probably stabbed me again in the dream.

Not just stabbed you once,

I killed you eight hundred times.

After all, you can only imagine such things in dreams.

In reality, you can't beat me.

- I... - What about you?

You just can't beat me.

I can't be bothered with you.
