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 have 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 have 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 have 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 have 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 have 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 have 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 have 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.
It 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 have 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 have 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.
