Episode 28

Fuqu, go tell Head Reverend that I have to make a trip to Jiang Du

Did something happen to Tusu?

No. It's just a friend who needs my help

What kind of friend is so important?

Senior Brother have not recover from your injures yet. It's best not to travel now.

Your friend is a girl, right?

Don't get your imagination wild.

My friend is being bothered by a demon. She needs me to vanquish the demon.

Really?

What type of demon is it that must require you to vanquish?

Back then when TuSu got injured. It was this friend who housed him and took care of him.

Now that she has trouble, I have to help her.

Okay. It's okay if you want to go.

but this time you have to take me with you.

You can't go. You stay here.

Reverend Leader won't let you go down the mountain either.

I've already had a discussion with my dad. He allows me to go down the mountain once a year.

Senior Brother, please take me with you.

I have not seen TuSu for a long, long time. I missed him.

No. -Senior Brother.

Take me with you, please?

Senior Brother has not recover from your injures. I could take care of you on the way.

Beside, if you want to vanquish demons, I could help. I definitely won't add to your worries.

Okay?

Okay, Senior Brother? Okay?

Okay Senior Brother?

Okay.

Thank you Senior Brother!

Senior Brother, do you think this look like you?

It's so cute/lovable.

You said you wanted to accompany down the mountain, but what you really wanted was to come out to play.

From when I could remember, I've always been in Tian Yong City.

Once in awhile I get to down the mountain and be at the foot of Qun Lun Shan.

I also want to see the hustles and busyness of the human world.

Senior Brother, thank you!

What are you thanking me for?

Though you could have used your sword, but you accompany me instead.

I didn't use my sword because I did not want to use my energy.

Honorable Teacher told me before that I shouldn't use my sword everywhere I go.

Sometimes, walking is also a form of practice

My skill is still very low.

I could understand this even more since I came back from Tin Zhu Quan.

I heard from the other fellow disciples saying that the incident at Tie Zhu Temple was a close shave

Where is this wolf demon from?

You and TuSu have exhausted all efforts

but could only half vanquished it.

Quan Leader said that this wolf demon is call Lord Shi Yue.

He has been locked up for over a hundred years.

He hated human to the bones.

Over a hundred years, that long?

He was locked up under the water by the previous Quan leader, Dou Yuen.

They have an agreement that the wolf demon cannot escape from the lake prison.

So the wolf demon was extremely angry.

If one day he could come out. He will kill all the people.

That cruel?

A wolf demon full of hatred?

Then why did Elder Dou Yuen did not just kill him at that time?

Sometimes, there are certain things that have both the positive and negative side.

That process is not something that we could understand.

What is it, Senior Brother?

It's a letter from Quan leader. The fire of wolf demon has not extinguished yet.

Didn't TuSu already extinguished the wolf demon?

It must be that the wolf demon's murderous aura is too strong.

That's why the wolf demon presence is still around.

Yesterday, while cleaning, the the disciples

ran into the remnant of the wolf demon at the wolf demon's holding place.

He injured the disciples and broke through the holding water.

Don't know which direction he ran to.

After we got rid of wolf demon

I sense the wolf demon's aura on TuSu.

TuSu told the me that before the wolf demon died, he forced his inner cultivated pearl into TuSu.

There is actually something like that happened?

At that time TuSu didn't think much of it.

He thought that wolf demon has repented.

But now that I think of it. It's not that simple.

That wolf demon has been locked up for over a hundred years. It's filled with hatred.

I'm afraid the leftover remnants of the wolf demon would harm the human world and cause havoc.

I'm old now

and the other disciples in the sect are not very skilled.

Plus the wolf demon's remnant is shapeless and invisible.

Only the highly skilled can track it down.

Even if they could track down the wolf demon, they would not be able draw out the wolf remnant.

Senior Brother, you have not recover from your prior injuries.

This matter does not just involve the people of Tin Zhu Quan, but also TuSu's safety.

I will try to find wolf demon as soon as possible and not let you down.

Good.

There is so many people in Tin Zhu Quan and they knew you have not recover from your injuries.

If you think this is too much trouble, you can return to Tian Yong City first.

I am worry about you. Your body is not well.

Beside, the world is so big. Where are we going to find a shapeless and invisible demon remnant?

We've lost the trace at the water. What should we do?

Wolf demon's energy force must find a place to re-gather

If it doesn't it will dissipate over time.

But if it wants to re-gather, it must either possess a human or an animal.

This place is heavy with spiritual energy.

If I am the wolf demon, I will definitely come here.

I am sure the wolf demon is nearby.

In the light of day it scared me to death to see a corpse come alive again.

That's right. I already said that kid is weird. Let's not go back to the city for the next few days.

Just overhead you talking about waking corpse. What is this all about?

We are disciples from Tian Yong City. Our specialty is to vanquished demons and get rid of the evils of the world.

What exactly happened in the mountain?

This is what happened. A couple days ago, a guy from our village drown while he was fishing at the river.

By the time his corpse float up his body was already pale white.

As we were burying him, he suddenly came to life.

That's very weird.

What's more weird is that from that time on, there is not a peaceful day in the village.

That's right. All lot of people died without reason.

Every night there is a lot of shadows flying here and there.

It must be that kid's doing.

Everyone has left the village. It's a ghost town now.

We are leaving too. Let's go. -Go. Go. Go.

Let's go take a look at the village.

Senior brother

Who are you?

We are passerby. We wait to find a place to sit.

The whole way here we find that the village is very quiet (empty), except for you.

The village is haunted. Everyone has left.

You were that drowned corpse?

I am a live person.

If you are afraid of me. Then leave.

We have traveled for half a day and feel hungry now.

Can you give us something to eat?

If you want to eat, go ahead.

Little brother, what is your name?

Er Gou Zhi.

Sorry

This is the first time someone apologize to me.

When I was little, they said that I have caused my dad and mom to die.

When I grew a little, they said that I steal and would eat anything.

Like a hungry ghost.

Actually, it was because I was really too hungry.

Later, I fell into the water.

No one came to my rescue.

When I wake up, they said I was a live corpse.

That is my life.

It's because they were bias.

They are not used to seeing someone who is different from them.

Brother, don't mind them.

You also know/understand?

I have a junior brother.

He too was an outcast by the rest of the disciples.

They called him a monster.

Also, I have experienced hunger when I was little. I know that feeling.

Here. Eat.

Thank you.

Little brother.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I remembered a story.

What story?

Let's hear it.

Long time ago,

There was a wolf at the chaotic time after a battle,

suddenly notice a child

Initially he wanted to eat that child.

But he saw that child is so small and quite pathetic.

So, he let him go. He even find something to eat for the child.

The child thought that his is just a big dog.

And even consider it, his own friend.

He didn't know

the big dog is a 1000 year-old wolf demon.

The child was afraid of the dark. So Big Dog find a lantern for him.

They even agreed

as long as the lantern is lit at night,

Big Dog will come and keep him company.

People will feel lonely. But wolves don't.

In time,

wolf got used to the child's company.

He even made a dagger for the child.

Too bad, there is a day when wolf have to part.

And the human had to too.

Later, the child was left with a taoist.

But did the wolf never thought to leave the child behind?

Of course he did.

When he saw the taoist took the child away,

the wolf demon had

the feeling of seeing the cow or sheep he has raise being taken away by someone else type of feeling.

But in the end he did let the child go.

Just that he thinks

that human is even more undomesticated than wolves.

Really shouldn't have under-mind human beings.

He didn't play with human from then on.

But

the wolf demon actually do like to play with the child. He even took care of him.

He words didn't match what is in his heart.

The wolf demon has cultivated for over a thousand year. He is the lord of the demons. Why would he care for a child?

Human and demon are supposedly not on the same path.

To be parted is natural.

Then what happened?

Later, the child became a man with great magical skills.

He setup a wolf demon trap

to trap the wolf demon.

The wolf demon recognized the child.

And innocently thought

he raise the child.

He would remember such grace.

But he never thought.
