Red Carp Legend

Episode 01

It's said, do not pursue that fantasy dream.

Do not love the one you shouldn't love.

But as I see, if there is some kinda admiring eyes

or a smile which is so pure

that makes you forget yourself.

Then you should pursue it no matter what will happen.

Our story starts from here.

A fishing village near the sea.

A young man who likes playing piccolo.

And a lovely red carp.

So dulcet flute-sound. From where?

This way. This way.

Follow me.

- Coming. - Hurry up.

This direction!

My show time!

Listen. Heard that?

Who is that?

My steal just beats the air.

You stole something?

Shibo, you sacred me.

Shibo.

Don't tell Shifu about this, okay?

You don't fear me?

Shibo, you're always good to me.

Won't blame me.

Right?

You downy bird.

Shibo.

If I send the Dragon King this as a gift.

Will he like it?

Since you stole it,

you shouldn't send it as a gift.

As long as we two keep it a secret,

no one will know that.

You think the Dragon King won't know that?

Shifu...

Hong Ling.

I've told you

to prepare a suitable gift for Dragon King.

Now we're gonna set out.

You dare steal things in the mortal world.

You're away to far.

Shimei.

Easy. Easy.

You... Don't need to get mad.

Shixiong.

You've spoiled her.

As her elder,

you should teach her well.

But you always wink at her fault.

Fine.

Then just punish me.

Shifu, I know that.

I'll go return this piccolo back.

Hong Ling.

It matters a lot to your future.

If Dragon King is satisfied with your gift,

you can leap over the dragon gate.

I know your kindness, Shifu.

I'll find the best gift

for dragon king.

It's a long trip this time.

We're gonna set off three days later.

Come back early.

Remember your cultivation base

can only maintain your human figure

in the human world for at most six hours.

Come back as soon as possible!

Got it?!

Miss.

Really you.

I've watched you for long.

Miss, may I ask

if we know each other?

It's...

Here you are.

Why it's in your hands?

It's a secret.

I dropped it into water by accident.

Where did you find it?

You said it fell into water.

I picked it up.

Why you're in the water?

I'm playing.

Dabbling, you know.

Seems you're not from our village.

Where are you from, miss?

Why you have so many questions?

I'm sorry.

You kept asking me questions.

Now it's my turn.

Okay, anything you wanna know?

What kind of gift can

satisfy an old man the most?

First, we should know

how old he is now.

He... Maybe ten thousand years old at least.

My Shibo is over four thousand years old.

Over ten thousand... The emperor.

So you're of noble identity, miss?

Not that.

I mean he is extra old.

Like over ten thousand years old.

I see.

I think the old always like

some beaming stuffs.

Like what?

Like red stuffs.

Or something has auspicious patterns on it.

The old all like that.

How about coloring the piccolo red

and sending to him?

No.

My mother left this to me.

So?

I can't give you anyway.

Miss, anyway, I should thank you

for getting it back to me.

Miss?

How old are you?

Eighteen.

Then you should call me granny.

Granny?

Zhang Zhen! Zhang Zhen!

Hai?

Hurry come, Zhang Zhen!

Hurry up, Zhang Zhen!

Chen Ronggui snatched away our fishing rod.

But said my father stole it.

Now my father has been taken to Yamen.

Hurry go help him.

Don't worry.

Let's go now.

Hurry up.

Hurry up! Hurry!

Or my father will be in trouble.

It's okay, don't worry.

- Hurry up! - There's still time.

Wait.

- My lord. - What?!

He said that fishing rod can speak.

Really?

Yes.

Zhang Zhen, don't beat around the bush.

Hurry tell us what you mean.

My lord, look, this fishing rod.

It is speaking.

Speaking?

I only hear the buzzing of flies.

No other sounds.

Minister Chen.

The case is obvious, hurry sentence.

Mr. Chen, you said this rod is yours, right?

How many time should I say that again?

And you're the boss of these two men, right?

Bullshit.

I don't buy that.

I afford them.

Aren't I their boss?

That's right.

Mr. Chen is our boss.

I'm not convinced.

You brat.

How can you believe that?

Let them beat you.

Beat me?

Beat me, dare you?

Dare not. Dare not.

- And you? - No, I dare not.

What are you doing?!

How.. How could you beat me?!

Didn't you say this rod is yours?

Yes.

Then it wouldn't beat you like these two men did.

You...

Enough. Enough.

Zhang Zhen, stop acting up.

No time to play with you.

Now tell us.

What should we do.

Okay.

Mr. Chen Ronggui, may I ask

if you take this golden fishing rod to go fishing?

Such a valuable fishing rod.

Of course I should store it in the treasure pavilion.

Moreover,

I'm rich.

Do I need to go fishing?

You're right, Mr. Chen.

Why you beat him again?!

No wonder it dare beat you.

'Cause you're not its owner!

Sheer nonsense!

This golden fishing rod belongs ro Wu Chungui!

Wu Chungui?

My lord! Why we should listen to Zhang Zhen?
