The Water Spiritual Bead.
You found it.
Little guy,
I really like this bead.
Could you give it to me?
Of course not.
How about this?
I'll compete with you by playing marbles.
If I win, you give me the bead.
Why should I? I don't want to compete.
What exactly do you want, then?
I'll give you anything I can.
Let's trade instead.
How about you give me
the sword on your back?
This
If you don't want to, never mind.
- Don't go!
- Don't run!
Where have you been,
making me wait so long?
Little guy, little guy,
this is a real sword.
It can hurt people. It's dangerous.
I'm not afraid.
What's the point if it's not a real one?
If your aunt knows,
she definitely won't let you keep it.
You don't have to worry about that.
How about this?
I'll make you one just like mine,
a wooden sword.
How about that?
Really?
Exactly the same?
Can't you see?
This kid has a look similar to you.
Do you mean
you'll make any sword I want?
Of course.
Then I want his sword.
That sword of his
looks more formidable.
You really have an eye for quality.
I want his sword.
Sir,
can you really make one just like it?
The wooden sword in my childhood
turns out to be the Dustless Sword.
What? What did you say?
I mean
Your wooden sword
will be the Dustless Sword.
That's so enviable.
Of course.
When I grow up,
I also want to find
one of those ancient divine swords.
That's settled then.
I'll make the wooden sword
in exchange for your bead.
Wait.
Weren't we supposed to compete?
We needed that before,
but now it's not needed, right?
We must compete.
If I win, you give me the wooden sword.
If I lose,
I'll trade my bead
for your wooden sword.
Alright.
You pick the game.
Pick what you're best at.
Then let's play marbles.
Marbles?
Marbles, well
The thing I'm worst at
is playing marbles.
Can we change the game?
No.
It has to be marbles.
Please, let's play marbles.
Alright, alright.
I'm an adult.
I won't take advantage of you.
We'll play marbles.
People indeed get slier
while getting older.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Ten marbles each.
Those three are mine,
and the distant ones are yours.
Alright then.
You
You're cheating.
You can't accuse me of that.
- Where did I cheat?
- You deceived me!
Little guy,
that's a strategy to confuse the enemy.
Don't trust people too easily
in the future.
Now you have to keep your word.
Give me your bead.
I won't give it to you.
I'm trading it for your wooden sword.
Then let's set a time for the exchange.
Alright, I'll come
after I eat mooncakes with my aunt.
Go then.
Still good at this.
Good wine.
You think that bead is very special.
It's important to many people.
You think that kid is also special.
Sir, by the way,
have you ever thought
about taking a disciple?
Stop, stop, stop.
I really don't have the time
to take a disciple.
Taking a disciple is so much trouble.
It's laborious.
How free and unrestrained it is
to be alone.
Sir,
I performed divination for you.
You can perform divination?
You will have a chosen one
as your disciple in the future.
A chosen one?
You're kidding me, right?
I'm serious.
This person
has extraordinary talents,
high comprehension,
and exceptional spiritual roots.
From what you're saying,
in the future,
when I meet a young lad,
I should tell him,
"Kid,
don't move.
You are the chosen one."
The chosen one.
You are chosen by heaven
to end this calamity on earth.
Speaking of which,
it really seems to be so.
Are you sick?
About things of this world,
if they don't actually happen,
no one knows what will occur.
Where has this kid gone?
Why hasn't he come yet?
That kid
must have gone looking for mooncakes.
When I was a kid,
I wasn't greedy for mooncakes.
Let's go to the inn first
and give him a surprise.
- Let's go.
- I I'm not going.
Let's go. Let's go.
- I really don't want to go.
- Let's go.
(Xiaoyao Inn)
Why is there no one here?
Innkeeper!
Mrs. Li!
- Where is everyone?
- Mrs. Li!
Xiaoyao?
(Xiaoyao Inn)
Xiaoyao, is that you?
- Mrs. Li!
- Xiao!
Have you seen my nephew?
He's missing?
After dinner,
he said he wanted to see the lanterns.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today,
so I let him go.
He hasn't come back since then.
Don't worry. Don't worry.
The kid must have gone
out of town to play.
No way.
My nephew may be naughty,
but he would never disappear
for so long.
I I'll go look for him again.
Mrs. Li, we'll go.
You stay at the inn,
just in case he comes back.
We'll help you look for him.
Thank you.
We will definitely
bring your nephew back.
Why does his silhouette
look so much like Sansi?
Mother!
Slow down. Take it easy.
Mrs. Wang,
have you seen that boy from Xiaoyao Inn?
No, I haven't seen that little naughty boy.
You are
- Slow down.
- Sir,
have you seen Mrs. Li's nephew?
Haven't seen him.
Don't worry so much.
He's probably gone
to play
with other kids.
That's unlikely. He's had few friends
since he was young.
Slow down. Slow down.
Look at them. Am I right?
Wait for me.
Look at them.
Mine is the most beautiful.
Yours isn't as nice as mine.
Mine is the best.
Li Xiaoyao,
you don't have a lantern, do you?
Do you want to touch my lantern?
These are children's toys.
I don't want it.
You don't have parents
to buy you a lantern,
and we don't care to play with you.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
My parents are coming back soon.
When they come back, we'll go
on adventures in the martial world.
You're bragging! Bragging!
- Bragging.
- Bragging.
I'm not bragging!
- Bragging.
- Bragging.
- Bragging.
- Bragging.
When my parents come back,
you'll want to play with me,
and I won't play with you!
Oh, no.
That boy has been kidnapped.
How do you know?
I just know.
How do you know?
How are you sure he was kidnapped?
Tell me!
Where exactly is Li Sansi?
I've told you I don't know.
Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell.
Just like Li Sansi,
all stubborn to the bone.
Your dad is a thief,
and you
will be a thief too.
My dad is not a thief.
- My dad is a great hero!
- What a joke!
Have you ever seen a fugitive
being a hero?
Why waste words with him?
Just beat him up.
Why are we back
at this Shanshen Temple?
Could it be that the kid
is inside?
Tell me!
Where is Li Sansi?
I won't tell!
Are you going to speak or not?
- Just wait a bit more.
- Wait for what?
This child can't hold it any longer.
Li Sansi will come to save him.
What?
How do you know?
He will definitely come.
- Are you going to speak or not?
- I won't tell!
He's in bad shape. The child is dying!
Just wait a bit longer.
Wait a bit.
He He will definitely come.
Definitely.
- Are you going to speak or not?
- I won't tell!
Where exactly is Li Sansi?
I won't tell!
If you won't go, I will.
Li Sansi!
Dad
Dad
(When I was little,)
(what I saw was actually myself.)
Dad.
You are a hero.
You are a hero.
Today,
fortunately, you two saved Xiaoyao.
Thank you, thank you.
Why are you thanking him?
You should be thanking me.
If it weren't for me,
that child would have died long ago.
It's all my fault,
for not intervening earlier to save him.
Xiao, don't say that.
You risked your life to save Xiaoyao,
and that's Xiaoyao's good fortune.
This is the room
originally belonging to Sansi.
Mrs. Li,
may I go in and take a look?
Dad, Mom,
why do you have to leave again?
Just this last time.
I promise it's the last time, okay?
When we return from Nanzhao,
the three of us will always be together
and never part again.
Mrs. Li,
I heard Xiaoyao say
his parents would return
around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival,
and they
Xiao,
weren't you looking for Li Sansi?
I won't hide it from you anymore.
His parents
can't come back anymore.
That can't be.
That's impossible.
The Witch Queen said
there was no news of them yet.
Sansi and his wife
went to Nanzhao
to find an antidote
for a friend.
Unexpectedly,
something happened on the way,
and they were chased
by the Chief of the Moon Worship Sect.
That Chief
is cruel and ruthless
and resorted to using poison,
a despicable method.
Both of them
were poisoned.
That can't be. That can't be.
They just haven't returned yet.
It's said the poison they encountered
is Nanzhao's Shadowless Poison.
This poison
is colorless and tasteless,
and kills upon entering the bloodstream,
without an antidote.
It's said
that the Shadowless Poison
is the most potent poison of Nanzhao.
Anyone poisoned by it
must suffer terribly
as if being bitten by thousands of ants.
The Shadowless Poison
was indeed my unique creation,
but it was later stolen by someone.
It's my fault your parents died.
It's my fault.
Recently,
one of their friends,
Iron-armed Eagle, found me
and told me of their death.
He also brought back their belongings
and Sansi's
sword.
This is your father's
used sword.
No, no.
It can't be.
I haven't seen them yet.
I still haven't seen
I
I haven't
I haven't been able to tell Xiaoyao
about this news
because he waits every day
at the dock for his parents
to return.
I really don't know
how to bring up
this matter.
How long will you be gone this time?
We'll be back by the next
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Then let's make a pinky swear.
Okay, a pinky swear it is.
Sir!
- Sir!
- Is your face okay?
I'm fine.
Sir,
I'll tell you a secret.
My dad came back.
Your dad?
Yesterday, a group of bad guys
kidnapped me.
My dad personally came to rescue me.
He was like this.
Just like this.
And he easily beat up
all those bad guys.
It was really amazing.
Sir,
is that wooden sword for me?
Then I'll take you to get the bead.
This is my treasure chest.
I have hidden many treasures inside,
along with my parents' belongings.
Look at this.
This is my mother's hairpin.
And this is my father's wristguard.
Sir,
here is the bead.
OK.
This is great!
With my own sword,
I can become a hero.
Sir,
what are you looking at?
I think
I should go now.
Li Xiaoyao,
you must be obedient in the future.
Don't always anger your aunt
and cause trouble.
I didn't cause any trouble.
It's troubles that find me.
You want to become a hero, right?
So, you shouldn't be
on the same level as them.
You're right.
I'll forgive them then.
Li Xiaoyao,
do you know what a hero is?
Someone with great martial arts skills.
No.
A hero is someone
with courage,
integrity,
kindness, and courtesy.
It's someone who upholds justice,
punishes evil, and promotes goodness.
It's someone
who sacrifices themselves for others,
just like your father.
I get it.
In the future, I must be like my father
to protect those who need protection.
Li Xiaoyao,
you will definitely do it.
Little rascal,
where did you get this sword?
Mrs. Li, I gave him this sword.
He said that when I grow up,
I will definitely
become a hero like my dad.
Always thinking about playing.
It's almost time to open the inn.
Go and buy some fish.
Okay. I'm going.
Xiao, take a seat, and I'll clean up.
Auntie,
I should leave.
Leave? Now?
Don't you want
to stay for a couple of days?
I have things waiting for me to do.
Auntie,
you should take care of your health.
Don't be too tired.
Ask that boy to run errands for you.
Li Xiaoyao!
You're still dawdling here!
Auntie!
- Li Xiaoyao!
-Auntie!
- Auntie, be gentler. It hurts!
- Go!
Buy some shrimp.
Asking me to run errands again?
Auntie, are you crying?
I'm happy.
Auntie!
Auntie, you're so good. Auntie!
Let go.
Auntie,
Li Xiaoyao has something
he's been too embarrassed to tell you.
I'll tell you on his behalf.
What?
In his heart,
you're as important
as his parents.
I have a story. Do you have good wine?
Sir!
Sir, sir!
Sir, are you leaving?
Why didn't you say anything?
Fate is predetermined.
It comes and goes like clouds.
It doesn't matter
if we say goodbye or not.
In the future,
you must teach that kid
in Xiaoyao Inn martial arts.
He is the chosen one you mentioned?
That's right.
He will be
your most talented disciple
in the future.
Let's see where fate leads us.
(Suzhou City)
I wonder
what Yueru is doing now.
Yueru, let's go to the suburbs.
These city walls are too high.
Jinyuan, if we want to fly a kite,
it has to be
in a high and spacious place.
Yueru, be careful.
Yueru!
Yueru!
(Couldn't it be that she)
Thank you, sir, for saving me.
I am Lin Yueru from Lin Fortress
in Suzhou City.
May I ask your name, sir?
Ten years ago,
he saved my life.
Since then, I have vowed
to become a hero like him.
Fool.
When we rescue Ling'er,
we'll eat,
play,
and grow old together.
We'll be friends forever.
Sir,
I'm most reluctant
to owe anyone a favor.
If it's inconvenient
to tell me your name,
could I at least
remember your appearance?
(Yueru,)
(I hope)
(we have never met each other.)
The books say
that the high-level cultivators
of Mount Shu
can control phoenixes.
Unfortunately, I didn't see his face.
This is the way back.
The Water Spiritual Bead!
(Ten years after)
Bai Yue.
Li Xiaoyao,
you are the young man
who saved Princess Ling'er
ten years ago.
You know I came from ten years ago?
If it weren't for you and your father,
ten years ago,
I would have already obtained
the Water Spiritual Bead.
Bai Yue,
it was you who killed my parents.
It was your parents
who chose the wrong person.
The demoness gave them
the Water Spiritual Bead.
Join me.
You're delusional!
Li Xiaoyao, you should thank me.
From chasing Ling'er on Fairy Island
to destroying the Witch Queen's statue
in Yunmeng Marsh,
you've always tried to kill us.
If I had really wanted to kill you
in Yunmeng Marsh,
would you have been able to leave alive?
You all just try to stay alive first.
I'm leaving here now.
You
You did this on purpose.
You don't think
that you got through all these dangers
just with your mediocre skills, do you?
I've heard that there's a fairy island here,
where has a magical medicine
that can revive the dead.
Li Xiaoyao,
see you next time.
See you next time.
They should have reached
Yangzhou City by now.
Yes.
I've already done
what needed to be done.
Don't come looking for me again.
Chief,
Mr. Shi has already
taken Princess Ling'er
to Yunmeng Marsh.
The timing
is just right.
Why did you do this?
Ten years ago,
your parents obstructed me,
causing me to lose
the Water Spiritual Bead.
I've been searching hard
and finally found Li Xiaoyao.
He was indeed Li Sansi's son,
but he was just a ten-year-old child.
All of this
made me ponder deeply for ten years.
I've deciphered the heavenly secrets.
During the battle
in the Imperial Palace ten years ago,
the person I met should be you now.
And you were destined
to return ten years ago
to take the Water Spiritual Bead.
It was you who arranged for me
to go to Fairy Island.
Everything that followed
was your arrangement.
The memory loss about Fairy Island
was also your doing on purpose.
On that Fairy Island,
there were people
who met you ten years ago.
They would tell you
what happened ten years ago.
I need to prevent you
from understanding all of this,
so you must lose this memory.
Besides the Princess,
the rest must be silenced.
This is what I needed to ensure
that you would obtain
the Water Spiritual Bead.
No wonder I entered the Temple so easily.
You were waiting for today.
Everything is arranged by heaven.
It's destined that you, Li Xiaoyao,
would help me
achieve my great cause.
Whether it's destined or not
is not for you to decide.
Those who defy heaven
do not deserve to remain in this world.
Those who follow heaven prosper,
and those who defy heaven perish.
Give me the Water Spiritual Bead,
and I will grant you a swift end.
Never!
What can a mere ancient artifact do
to me?
Spell of the God of Wine!
Good for you.
