Q-quickly...
Flee this place.
Don't overexert yourself, Fire Sage.
It's... it's too late.
Who are you?
Amusing.
Too slow.
They've finally arrived.
That's...
Xuan
Bro...
Fire Aspect,
you've recklessly opened the Seal.
Now my son is missing,
and chaos has descended in the Demon Realm.
Bring back my son,
and I'll return your loved ones.
Brother!!
Man’s snowy path is cleared by wind, while Beasts seek refuge in the woods.
The Demon’s discord blazes bright, while Spirits on the mountain roam.
The dawn begets meditation, the noon-time bell calls all to work,
in evening there is wisdom found, and the nighttime drums guide lost souls home.
The fog lifts and Man awakes,
as the mountain rises above the clouds.
The Five Virtues shape the circle of life,
yet their justice may be untrue.
Good and Evil tread the same path,
and there is wisdom in the words of mortals,
yet Heaven and Earth pay little heed,
for they trivialize mortals' passions.
Man, Demon, Beasts and Spirits have all said:
We of Ying and Yang bear no power,
yet Heaven’s rule holds no permanence,
and the Ten Celestial Branches shall emerge from the chaos.
Can evil’s demise be considered justice?
The stars shall bear witness and judge.
Episode 1 - Sacred Flames Renewed
Mountain Sage!
You're early today.
Yep!
I found some great spots yesterday, and picked a ton today!
Put that down and take a little break.
I'm almost done here.
You can take that to your father.
Alright, I'm off!
Take it easy!
Don't trip over yourself.
Got it!
This child...
I've been feeling amazing lately, ever since I've started taking these herbs.
Agreed.
The rheumatism I've had all these years has been dampened quite a bit as well.
I gotta say, these herbs are quite miraculous.
It's been especially effective for my kidneys.
No wonder you seem to disappear around dusk these days.
Ha... No kidding!
Yo, Xiao An.
It's so early, where'd you go and get all those herbs from?
Morning Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle. I went to the far side of the mountain today.
The far side... how dangerous...
How about I check your pulse and give you a physical examination later?
No need! Thanks Sixth Uncle!
You old perv,
you can't even keep your hands off Third Brother's daughter?
Don't slander me!
I'm considering marrying her...
to my son, of course!
Your son?
What are you laughing at?
What's wrong with my son?
He's inherited all of my charisma and good looks!
It's almost noon...
I have to go collect rent.
Fifth Uncle,
here's all the herbs I've picked today.
Not bad...
Quite a variety.
I'll give you a bonus.
Thanks Fifth Uncle!
Is Father in the inner chambers?
He just finished treating 3 patients,
and is free at the moment.
Cool.
That hurt...
Always so reckless...
The medicine's Qi has been disrupted.
Haven't I told you before? The inner chambers are forbidden.
You are not to enter without my permission.
Sorry, Dad.
You're not hurt, right?
Not at all.
I'll need a replacement.
You can repurpose this.
I’d like to stay with the Mountain Sage for a couple days.
Ever since I was a kid, she's always looked out for me.
and recently, the pain in her legs have flared up again.
The Mountain Sage has provided a lot of herbs for us.
Is that okay?
That's fine.
It's not often that you show concern for your elders.
Thanks dad!
Wait...
My gallipot is broken, you must take responsibility for that as well.
Uh, that's...
Zhang the Drunk lives at the far side of the mountain.
I have all my gallipots custom made by him.
I happen to have another order ready for pickup.
So this time...
you go retrieve them in my stead.
No problem, I've got it covered.
There are many forked paths, and Miasmic Qi gathers after dark.
Return swiftly.
No worries.
I'll get your gallipots without a hitch.
Call for the Mountain Sage.
Ok.
I can't believe there's someone actually living all the way out here.
If I'm not careful I really could get lost here.
Zhang the Drunk?
No... three people?
Something's not right
If you please...
Nearby...
Does there stand a village?
We brothers three have traveled a long way.
Our bodies are exhausted...
And we would like a place to pause and rest for the night.
If you please...

Thank You.
They believed me so easily?
Those guys were so freaky.
I'm so relieved they didn't notice the silver.
W-where am I?
I'M LOST
Sacred Shrouded Mountain?
What kind of weird thing was that?
DIE YOU PERV!!!
Third Brother
Third Brother, what is it?
It seems that Eldest Brother has run out of Panacea,
and he requests that we send some more.
What?
Didn't we deliver a batch just a few days ago?
You and Seventh Brother... make another trip.
But...
There is no need for further discussion.
Eldest Brother also has the prosperity of our village in mind.
We all want what's for the best.
That's...
Sixth, Sixth...
Leave, leave, leave...
The two of us are always stuck doing the tedious work.
And all of them...
just sip tea and count money!
Sixth Brother you mustn't speak so loudly, Third Brother will overhear you.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
