Heroic Journey of Nezha (Na Zha Jiang Yao Ji / Legend of Nezha / 哪咤降妖记)

Heroic Journey of Ne Zha

Episode 1

Young Master!

Young Master, what's wrong?

- Nothing, it's nothing! - You scared me.

It's not early anymore. The study room is ready for you.

S-s-study room?

Aunt Yang, I still have something to do today. You guys don't need to wait for me!

- What thing? - I need to do something. I'm late!

Where are you going? You haven't eaten breakfast yet.

Magic weapon, equip!

Water! Give us some. Chen Tang Guan City

- Give us some. - Give us water.

Give us some water.

Give us some.

Give us some water.

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up now!

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up!

- Water, water! - Save her!

Thank you, Young Master Ne Zha.

No need to call me Young Master. Just call me Ne Zha.

Young Master Ne Zha, why are you here?

I just happened to pass by and saw you guys transporting water

so I came to help.

She woke up! She woke up!

Thank you, Young Master Ne Zha!

- Young Master! - Young Master Ne Zha!

Don't thank me. This is what I should do!

Don't thank me!

Outrageous! The drought is so severe. Why are you stopping?

Ne Zha!

Why are you here?

Listen to my explanation, Father.

What did I tell you? How should you address me when outdoors?

General.

Reporting to General: because the weather is so hot,

- this soldier— - I ordered you to stay home to study and practice writing,

yet you secretly ran out and disturbed the military. What crime should this be?

General, actually—

Anyone who pleads on Ne Zha's behalf will be punished according to military rules.

General, since there is a drought,

I just wanted to do something for the people.

Men should be independent and fearless.

How can I stay home all day?

- When did the drought become your burden? - I—

I have my own solution.

What is your own solution?

So is your solution to transport water to the people little by little?

This will only solve the immediate needs but exhaust others.

You speak of it so lightly.

A drought is a natural disaster. How can it be fixed by man's power?

I believe that man will win over Heaven. There will be a solution.

Even if it means poking a hole in the sky, I will make water rain down!

Outrageous!

You dare say such rebellious words that go against God.

Go back home and wait for your punishment.

Don't always use military orders to suppress me! It's clearly your lack of discipline.

Why blame me?

You disturb the military and disregard military prestige.

Men, arrest Ne Zha!

You want me to go home, then I'll deliberately not go home!

You—

Ne Zha!

Demon Emperor's Castle

Greetings, Father.

How is the East Sea drought preparation going?

Don't worry, Father! I have already prepared everything.

The East Sea Dragon King dotes on me and ignores state affairs.

Everything regarding rain has been left to me.

I purposely held back the rain and now people are all suffering from the drought.

Later when the heavenly court looks for someone to blame,

not only will they solely blame Ao Guang,

but the other three dragon kings will also suffer.

At that time, their brotherhood will deteriorate,

making it easier for us to instigate internal strife and eliminate them all at once.

Yu Xian, are you coming to me to get praise?

Father—

Tomorrow is the East Sea Dragon King's birthday banquet.

All four dragon kings will be gathered at the Dragon Palace.

- Yu Xian, - I'm here.

Prepare the Qian Long Drop

and use poison at the banquet tomorrow

to overcome all four dragon kings at once.

Remember, only capture alive!

Then what about Xiao Long Nu?

After capturing the four dragon kings, Xiao Long Nu will come easily.

I understand.

The most important thing is to gather the gold and the silver water tokens,

along with some blood of the four sea dragon kings.

Once I recover my power and master the Nine Yin Destruction Spell,

I will break through Tai Hao's restrictions

and unify the three realms.

These actions affect the faction of my Demon Clan.

Nothing must go wrong.

- Yes! - Yes!

Yes!

Xiao Long Nu, Xiao Long Nu!

What's wrong, Ne Zha? Do you still remember me?

I have something urgent to tell you!

- What is it? Tell me! - Let's meet up.

- It's a water spirit. - Princess, I'll help you.

Who are you?

Who am I? I'm the one who's going to kill you.

Such bold words! We still don't know who will kill who.

Ne Zha, why aren't you here yet?

Younger Sister Long.

Smelly Ne Zha, it's been a while.

Sweet-smelling Mo Ang, you also came.

Younger Sister Long, are you all right?

I'm fine! It just disrupted my water dance.

Princess. My princess!

Princess, tomorrow is our king's birthday.

The queen has ordered me specifically to come and ask for your return.

What queen? Let me tell you, in the entire East Sea, only my mother alone is called the queen.

Concubine She, who is she regarded as, the queen?

It was a slip of the tongue.

A slip of the tongue. Please forgive me!

Why forgive you?

Forgive what?

Don't think I don't know that you and Concubine She have bad intentions.

All that you both know to do is flatter my father.

Yes, yes, yes! Then I will take my leave first.

The drought in Chen Tang Guan is so bad, help me think of solutions!

- Please! - Don't worry!

Ne Zha, let me tell you, my father dotes on me the most.

How about this? I'll go back to the East Sea to talk to him.

He'll definitely be willing to make it rain.

All right! Then I'll let you take care of this matter.

But don't think I'm only cheerful as I usually am.

I'm very, very seriously requesting that you do this.

All right, just leave it to me!

Did you notice I've always been kind and trustworthy?

So I am serious about this matter as well.

That's right! I usually take saving lives as an important duty.

I will also help with this.

-That's right, although I usually— - Okay, okay, thank you all.

You are all very loyal.

Then you must all go talk to the East Sea Dragon King for me.

I will go back to Chen Tang Guan and await news of your success.

Sure!

East Sea Palace

The East Sea Dragon King is here!

- Welcoming the East Sea Dragon King. - Welcoming the East Sea Dragon King.

All right, all right.

My three younger brothers, you've traveled far.

Your Majesty.

Earlier, I heard the main hall was very lively.

What's the good news? Tell me about it.

Elder Royal Brother, today,

aside from celebrating your birthday, there is something else.

Chen Tang Guan had no rain a long time. Common people have no way of subsisting.

Yesterday, the Heavenly Court sent an envoy to investigate the West Sea,

South Sea, and North Sea.

Why did such a thing happen?

Yu Xian,

I remember I was sick before.

I had left this matter for you to take care of.

Do you understand this?

Your Majesty, you probably remembered wrong.

Didn't you hand over the responsibility of making clouds and rain to Prime Minister Chou?

Reporting to Your Majesty, that is true.

I personally saw that Prime Minister Chou was slacking on making rain.

You two, don't think that just because my older brother is getting old, you can lie to him.

Third Brother, how can you say that?

Our king is in his prime.

Are you saying our king is already old enough to be muddled nowadays?

Eldest Royal Brother is head of Four Seas and deals with lots of problems daily.

Forgetting something is normal.

Right! Furthermore,

I was just joking with the queen.

Now that I remember it,

the job of making it rain is in fact Prime Minister Chou's responsibility.

I will most definitely heavily punish him.

- Elder Royal Brother, but– - All right,

let me ask, did the three of you come to celebrate my birthday

or to blame me?

Naturally, to celebrate your birthday.

Your Majesty, let's not talk about political matters today.

Let's just enjoy your birthday celebration.

Yu Xian knows me best.

The three younger majesties are probably tired.

Yi Ji, take them to rest.

Yes.

Your Majesties, please follow me.

We take our leave.

Yu Xian, I remember that this responsibility of making clouds and rain

was truly left to you to handle.

Your Majesty, haven't I been busy planning your birthday banquet?

The whole Dragon Palace has been busy preparing for your birthday.

When the banquet is over, I'll have Prime Minister Chou take care of clouds and rain, okay?

It is still you that treats me with the most heart.

Oh right, how come these two days,

we haven't seen Long'er at all?

She must have been busy playing and forgot.

Is she busy playing? She even forgot her father's birthday.

Your Majesty, you just spoil her too much.

This time, you know who cares about you the most, right?

Come help stop the fire! Hurry!

- Fire, fire! - Fire, fire!
