Till The End of The Moon (2023) s01e16 Episode Script

1
Here.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
Mozhu, if your friend
left you
and would never return,
what would you do?
What if it was because he died
and not because he didn't want to return?
If you have a spare moment today,
could you buy me some wine from town?
You haven't recovered yet.
You can't drink.
No.
I want it to commemorate my friends.
I heard
when a mortal's relatives or friends die,
they would make a wine offering
to console the dead.
Some of my friends
who were very important to me
passed away before me.
Where do you think
mortals will end up after they die?
Their souls will wander aimlessly
until they reach the Nether River
and float along the current
to the end of the world.
What about gods?
Gods have no souls.
When gods fall,
they will be completely gone
from this world
and never to be seen anywhere.
But when they are remembered,
they won't be completely gone.
Is this a new prescription?
Yes, maybe this one will work.
If I can't recover, don't try so hard.
Just let it be.
What are you talking about?
Good medicine usually tastes bad.
Just take it.
Or do you want to keep being blind
and stay here forever for free food?
I don't know where else I can go.
I don't have relatives.
All my friends have died.
My wife…
No.
She's no longer my wife.
She thoroughly hates me.
I'm afraid
we will never see each other again.
How…
How do you feel about her?
I made it clear from the outset
we would go our own ways
without interference.
Mingye,
make sure to tell me
when your eyes improve,
even if you can see just a bit of light.
So I can be prepared.
Be prepared for what?
So I can be prepared
to leave this place.
Don't be so nosy.
Just let me know.
Will you always be living here?
Why do you ask that?
Now, in this world,
you're my only friend.
Can I visit you occasionally?
You can't.
After you get your sight back,
I'll leave immediately.
Where will you go?
It's hard to say.
Anywhere.
I'll just travel around,
leading a free life.
If you knew it was me,
you might not want to visit me again.
Be careful on the stairs.
Come on.
What a sunny day.
Sit down and let me comb your hair.
What? Just sit down.
This is the jasmine balm I made yesterday.
You're lucky to have some.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Why are your eyes red?
No, maybe…
Maybe the jasmine balm got into my eyes.
You should have told me.
Let me see.
Do you feel better?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
I thought your eyes had recovered.
Don't be too sad.
Your eyes will recover.
These herbs are very effective.
So fate has been kind to me.
I thought we would never meet again.
I never imagined
that I would see you again.
Sangjiu.
If I never recover,
will we be able
to stay together in this forest forever?
When I get the chance
to tell Sangjiu the truth,
I'll take her back to Shangqing Realm
and find a way to cleanse her marrow.
I almost forgot.
Sangyou is coming in a few days.
I forgot all about my lessons lately.
I've nearly recovered.
How about we switch places?
You can have the bed.
No way.
Your eyes haven't gotten better.
Then come up on the bed.
We can share the bed.
Don't worry.
I'm a quiet sleeper.
I won't disturb you.
All right. Go to sleep.
All right.
Why hasn't his sight recovered?
Tomorrow, I'll go up the mountain
for another kind of herb.
It's said to be very effective.
Sangjiu.
Don't blame me for lying.
I just want us
to stay together like this longer.
Even longer.
Mingye.
Here, take the decoction
before it gets cold.
Open your mouth.
It's so sweet.
Is it honey?
Yes.
You always find the decoctions bitter.
Come here.
Did you get stung when stealing the honey?
Come closer.
Even closer.
All right, it no longer hurts.
Report! Saintess!
We found traces of Lord Immortal
in a bamboo forest.
Come on.
Sit here and bask in the sun.
I'll be back before noon.
I'll bring back some bamboo shoots
to make soup.
All right.
By the way,
if you get thirsty,
the water is on the table in front of you.
There is food in the kitchen.
If the wind picks up,
make sure to put on your cloak.
Yes, it's right beside you.
All right.
I'm going now.
Mingye!
What are you doing in this place?
You're safe.
But why didn't you return or let me know?
I was badly wounded.
I stayed here to recuperate
just for some peace.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
Have you recovered?
Mingye.
How much longer will you stay here?
Go back without me.
The scenery here is great.
I want to stay for a while.
But you've just recovered.
You need someone to take care of you.
-Why don't I stay?
-Don't bother.
Someone is taking care of me.
If you don't mind,
I'm going inside for some rest.
I have to tell you something
that concerns many living beings.
What is it?
Yesterday, the celestial troops reported
the Devil God's Bone-Refining Seal
was found in a valley.
That's why I hurried to you.
If the devil energy overflows,
I'm afraid…
The Bone-Refining Seal
has great devil energy.
The consequences will be catastrophic
if it pollutes the land or water.
We must not delay.
Let's go.
You two lead the way.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Give me a moment.
Let's go.
Mingye.
Go ahead with them.
I'll catch up
after fetching a weapon
from Yuqing Palace.
Fine.
Sangjiu,
I only had time to write a hasty note.
A devil artifact has appeared.
I must go immediately.
I will surely return
in one to ten days
and explain everything to you.
I'm sorry for leaving suddenly.
You will be on my mind.
Mingye.
The Bone-Refining Seal is in the center.
It created this sinkhole.
After the Devil God disappeared,
I had our soldiers search everywhere
and finally found this devil weapon.
Good work.
Finding the seal
only consumed time and manpower.
But your complete disappearance for days
was what truly exhausted my mind.
Now that the Devil God is dead,
the three devil weapons have no master.
Although they are not
as powerful as before,
their devil energy still pervades
for miles.
If we leave it be,
I'm afraid
this place will soon become
a shelter for demons.
My father said that the Bone-Refining Seal
has the most inscrutable functions
among the three devil weapons.
It can enhance the devil energy
and make a seal or barrier.
The celestial troops that were captured
were often stripped of immortal marrow
and infused with devil energy.
They turned into demons.
I really didn't dare to act rashly.
I had our men stand guard
until I found you.
Stripped of immortal marrow?
Sangjiu is my only daughter
and the princess of the Mohe River.
For you,
she gave up her immortal marrow
and any chance of achieving immortality!
Are you just going to say thank you
and wash your hands off of this?
My demonic energy is devouring me.
If it can strip someone
of their immortal marrow,
maybe it can also help Sangjiu
rebuild her immortal marrow.
I'll go check it out.
Mingye!
This weapon appears to be evil,
but it's neutral in nature.
If it can be cleansed of devil energy,
maybe it can be reformed for other uses.
The devil energy is temporarily contained.
I have to remove it immediately.
The seal's devil energy is potent
and has gradually pervaded
the earth's veins.
Powerful as I am,
I still can't get it out easily.
This seems to be my only option.
Heart-Guarding Scale.
This Heart-Guarding Scale
is the toughest scale on a dragon.
When infused with my divine power,
it can act as a shield
to isolate the devil energy in the seal.
Mingye, how did it go?
The seal crashed into the earth here.
The two were already in a merged state.
To extract the Bone-Refining Seal,
I had to exchange it for something.
I exchanged my Heart-Guarding Scale
for the Bone-Refining Seal.
The Heart-Guarding Scale
is attached to your flesh.
How could you bear to pull it off?
Physical pain
is inconsequential.
My father died in the fight
against the Devil God.
Now you've sacrificed
your Heart-Guarding Scale
for the devil weapon
to protect this region.
You deserve to be the God of War.
If Father knew about this,
he would be gratified too.
I have conjured a heavy rain.
And with the protection
of the Heart-Guarding Scale,
it won't be long
before this place
has abundant spiritual energy.
Surrounded by mountains,
there is no light in the valley.
Let's call it Mount Buzhao.
That's quite considerate of you, Mingye.
Father had many subordinates
and disciples.
Only you took up his mantle
and knew his wishes best.
So you will also protect
what my father wanted to protect, right?
Let's go.
Let's return to Shangqing Realm first.
So this is the Fire Quadripod.
Before the world came into being,
the Fire Quadripod's four legs
represented four seasons.
The fire in it
was the sun burning fiercely.
When Tianhao was alive,
he used it to purify demons.
Unfortunately,
it shortens the user's lifespan
by a substantial amount.
Since then, it has been sealed here.
Using the Fire Quadripod
to purify the Bone-Refining Seal
couldn't be more perfect.
If it works,
the purification can be completed
in just four days and nights.
Then I can use it to cure Sangjiu.
In the Fire Quadripod,
there are four seasons.
They can purify everything.
By expending my divine marrow,
I can purge the Bone-Refining Seal
of its devil energy.
Perhaps it may do some good in the future.
And then
we can start all over again.
War God Mingye.
You may just call me Mingye from now on.
Why don't you try one?
Just try one. It's super sweet.
I mean the sword,
not me.
Are you willing
to try co-cultivation with me?
What?
My body and soul
will surely be destroyed in this battle.
Sangjiu,
I'll let you go.
It's better than being alone
in Yuqing Palace.
For so many days,
I haven't dared to say
or do anything.
I was even afraid
to look at or talk to you.
And now you won't even look at me.
Do you mean to dismiss me
with a single piece of paper?
Have you ever,
even a little bit,
even for one second,
had any feelings for me?
No.
Sangjiu.
The Devil God has been killed.
The Three Realms are stable
and Heaven has taken pity on me.
I owe you so much.
I will slowly make it up to you.
Wait for my return.
Even if it takes everything in me,
I will refine the Bone-Refining Seal
and remove the devil energy for you.
Mingye,
how could you try to use the seal
to save that little clam spirit
who lost her immortal marrow?
For her,
you would even risk
losing control of your powers
to use the Fire Quadripod.
I see how it is.
Saintess, the soldiers have assembled.
Thank you.
I'm just an orphan
without any battle achievements,
but you still take orders from me.
I'm quite grateful.
Don't say that, Saintess.
I and everyone else here
followed your father, War God Tianhao,
to settle down in the Shangqing Realm.
Although you're young,
you're the Flying Serpent Clan's saintess
and the owner of Yuqing Palace.
We don't dare to forget that.
I'm glad to hear that.
Mingye will be
in strict meditation for days.
The search for the devil weapons
concerns the lives of all living beings.
It can't be put on hold.
I just received the information
that the Unionid Tribe
picked up a devil weapon.
Please go with me
to search for it.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Do you want to compete with me?
Sangjiu, can you even survive?
Where on earth has Mingye gone?
I've been looking for him
in the woods all day.
With his vision gone,
he couldn't have gone too far.
Did somebody take him away?
By Lord Immortal's orders,
the clam spirit is to be killed on sight.
Search the place.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Tianhuan?
So Mingye has returned to Shangqing Realm.
Kill me on sight?
Mingye,
do you want to kill me?
Saintess Tianhuan, there is nobody here.
Saintess Tianhuan,
no one is outside either.
Report. There's no trace of a clam spirit.
It seems that she's one step ahead of us.
She's on the loose.
It's too bad.
She can run,
but she can't hide.
Let's go.
No.
I need to find out what this is all about.
What happened in the immortal realm?
These are all new faces.
Halt.
Who are you and why are you here?
I…
I'm an immortal from the lower realm.
I'm here to see Lord Immortal Mingye.
Judging from your cultivation,
you don't even have immortal marrow.
How can you claim to be an immortal?
You're just a spirit.
Why do you want to see the God of War?
It really is an urgent matter.
Would you please get word to him?
Just give this to him.
What is this pearl?
I'm not passing it on.
Please just go.
I wish I could help you,
but the God of War has retreated
on a four-day seclusion.
Why is he in seclusion?
Is he not feeling well?
It is for the whole universe, of course.
He alone bears the responsibility
of keeping the universe safe.
If anything goes wrong in his seclusion,
we will all be doomed.
What has Saintess Tianhuan been up to?
Saintess Tianhuan
is on the same page as War God Mingye.
She's leading the search
for the scattered devil weapons
and evil beings roaming the world.
If any of you spirits
are connected to the Devil God,
you'd better watch your back.
That's right.
Since Mingye is busy in seclusion,
I think I'll just wait it out.
I will get to the bottom of it then.
Charge.
If you want to hurt my people,
get past my sword first.
Why does this river
churn out so many annoying troublemakers?
Who do you think you are?
Are you seriously going to fight me?
Go. Protect Father.
-Yes!
-Yes!
Seize him.
Old clam demon,
after thousands of years of cultivating,
you couldn't even withstand
100 blows from my Bright Fog Silk.
And you call yourself a king?
That's funny.
On the other hand, your son was a handful.
But he was defeated by me too.
Tianhuan, what do you want?
I want to wipe evil creatures off the map.
I was told the Mohe River's aquatic tribes
colluded with the Devil God
and hid a devil weapon.
It's a crime punishable
by tribe extermination.
But if you hand over the devil weapon,
I'll only punish the main culprit
and let the rest off the hook.
That's utter nonsense!
We have always lived in peace
and stayed in our own lane!
We wouldn't collude with the Devil God!
Is this how Shangqing Realm does things?
By framing innocent people for crimes?
We offer protection to the Three Realms.
I don't need some lowly demon
to tell me what to do.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
Why are you doing this to the Mohe River?
Have you forgotten the shelter
we once provided to you and Mingye?
You're right.
There hasn't been bad blood between us.
So am I after your scant riches?
Am I after your demonic energy?
Or am I after your flimsy pearls?
Saintess, should we run this
by the God of War?
What do you mean?
Well, he is
the Unionid King's son-in-law.
The Unionid King's son-in-law?
This bunch of clam demons
forced Mingye to marry that smelly clam.
He doesn't even like her.
He has already divorced her.
It's pretty bold of them
to set up that clam with Mingye.
But there's no sign of a devil weapon.
You're just too stupid to find it.
It doesn't mean
they aren't the Devil God's allies.
What?
Have you now found your conscience
after killing so many aquatic tribesmen?
Trust me.
They are in league with the Devil God.
We may not have found the devil weapon,
but they fought back,
which was suspicious.
These evil beings are cunning.
Our soldiers fought back in self-defense.
Don't worry.
Mingye won't blame me for this.
We do not possess any devil weapons!
But something evil
is clearly eating at your heart!
You're jealous
that my daughter married Mingye.
That's why you're framing her!
I'm jealous of her?
A flying serpent is a spiritual beast.
As the Flying Serpent Clan's saintess,
why would I be jealous
of an annoying and unsophisticated
little clam spirit?
Let me tell you something.
When her demonic energy acted up,
I pretended to treat her.
I added Ruo River water to a hot spring
and told her
it was some marrow-cleansing spring.
That dumb woman took my word for it
and soaked in the water despite the pain.
Tianhuan,
you are utterly vicious.
Heaven and Earth shall condemn you
to a horrible death!
Old clam demon.
You and your tribe will be wiped out today
all thanks to your daughter!
She didn't know her place
and dared to take my Mingye.
Sangjiu,
this is what you get for going against me.
By Lord Immortal's orders,
the clam spirit is to be killed on sight.
Search the place.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Why isn't the Reflection Pearl working?
It runs on Sangyou's demonic power.
Don't tell me
something happened to Sangyou.
You're new to demonic cultivation,
so your demonic energy isn't stable.
You need to avoid mood swings
and intense emotions
or you could slip into madness.
In all of the Mohe River,
no one is fairer than you, Princess.
I'm sure
you will marry a good man someday.
You have the nerve to say it.
Mingye, a dragon,
has immortal marrow.
And so do you.
Yet he's now the God of War.
And you?
You follow me and Sangyou everywhere
and do nothing all day.
Have you no shame?
Remember.
As long as you have sincerity,
then surely,
the gods will be moved.
They will be.
All right.
Go to sleep.
I'll tell you more tomorrow.
I was told the Mohe River's aquatic tribes
colluded with the Devil God
and hid a devil weapon.
It's a crime punishable
by tribe extermination.
We do not possess any devil weapons!
But something evil
is clearly eating at your heart!
You're jealous
that my daughter married Mingye.
That's why you're framing her!
I'm jealous of her?
Let me tell you something.
When her demonic energy acted up,
I pretended to treat her.
I added Ruo River water to a hot spring
and told her
it was some marrow-cleansing spring.
That dumb woman took my word for it
and soaked in the water despite the pain.
Old clam demon.
You and your tribe will be wiped out today
all thanks to your daughter!
She didn't know her place
and dared to take my Mingye.
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.
I shouldn't have fallen in love with him.
I shouldn't have saved him
and married him.
This…
This is
all my fault.
Father,
I should have known better.
I'm unworthy of being your daughter
or the princess of the Mohe River.
