Legend of Fu Yao (扶摇)

"Fuyao" by Karen Mok

~ Episode 1 ~

Do you know how the five regions became the current five regions?

The current Megrez Nation was appointed by Holy Land Firmament

to overlord three nations, which are Too-Deep, Plough, and Heaven Fiend.

The nation prospers, and the people are at peace.

However, a hundred thousand years ago, Di Feitian massacred the five regions.

People were in great misery and suffering.

The elder of Firmament, Chang Qingzi,

used Mystical Spirit Leaf to turn around the war situation.

However, Di Feitian didn't just disappear just yet.

A few drops of his leftover blood condensed into a Five-Colored Stone.

And now, Di Feitian is about to come out.

The one who awakens him will be a girl who owns the Five-Colored Stone.

You are the one predestined by the Mystical Spirit Leaf.

Only you can change the universe.

Find the girl with the Five-Colored Stone.

Or else, the five regions will once again be doomed eternally.

- Who comes here? - Fuyao.

For the third level of Mystic Soul Five-Way Technique,

the person who can obtain the emblem of Mystic Soul can get through this level.

Okay. Then let's give it a try.

How dare you! Why don't you bow when you see your senior sister!

Senior Sister Pei is really merciless when she fights.

As a lowly factotum of Mystic Black Section,

how would you be qualified to call me your senior sister?

Don't think that just because First Senior Brother secretly taught you some Kung Fu,

you can have the same level and same treatment as I.

Someone of low status will forever be of low status.

Some level and same treatment?

That's good,

but unfortunately, I almost learned that Kung Fu.

You wish!

You violated the rules of Mystic Soul and privately entered Five-Way Sanctum to cultivate.

Today, I will definitely bring you to see Clique Leader.

I'd like to see who would speak up for you.

Just a minute, just a minute.

Senior Sister, I did violate the clique rules.

You want to bring me to Clique Leader for punishment.

However, if you want to catch the thief, you must also have the loot.

You have to catch me first.

Your death is imminent and yet you are still stubborn with your words.

A'Lie, tie her up!

Yes.

You are indeed an idiot.

Below lies the bottomless cliff.

If you have the ability, then jump.

I am so scared.

But since my senior sister has commanded me to do so,

I will have to follow.

Miss.

Idiot!

This lowly servant!

You will pay for it!

First Senior Brother!

Fuyao!

I saw someone from really far away.

I knew it was you.

Why did you sneak out and come down the mountain again?

I told you many times already, you can't sneak down on your own!

If you get found out, you will be—

I know! I just miss you!

Full of nonsense!

First Senior Brother.

Junior Sister.

Senior Brother, you can't cover for this lowly servant today anymore.

She is extremely daring.

She actually dare to secretly enter the cultivation sanctum to cultivate.

And she was escaping by running down the mountain.

Who knows how many clique rules she has violated?

About this, we must report to Clique Leader!

She must be severely punished!

Did that really happen?

Yes.

You! You always act so recklessly!

Junior Sister Pei, Fuyao is still young.

It's understandable for her to have some unruly behavior.

Why don't you forgive her this time?

First Senior Brother! You always cover up for her like this!

This lowly servant of Mystic Black Section will disregard the rules even more often!

Will our Mt. Mystic Soul still have rules then?

Speaking of rules, Senior Sister Pei Yuan isn't any better.

You! How dare you!

Did I say anything wrong? Today is the day of the sacrificial ritual.

All of the students of Mystic Main Section should be waiting on the mountain.

Senior Sister Pei Yuan is the First Senior Sister of Mystic Main Section after all.

Why did you secretly go down the mountain, too?

You!

Junior Sister Pei,

you are right in scolding her.

I will report to Clique Leader later.

I will make sure that she gets punished.

You! When you go back,

just stay at Mystic Black Section, face the wall and reflect on your fault.

Later in the day, I will for sure bring you to receive your punishment,

and teach you a good lesson. Hurry and go!

Yes.

First Senior Brother! Why did you let her go just like that?

Junior Sister!

It's almost time.

Why don't you follow me to join the sacrificial ritual?

Sacrificial ritual?

- Greeting, Father. - Greeting, Teacher.

We're going to have the hunting game soon in our Mystic Soul.

Under the blessing, we have peace and prosperity.

To the ancestors and masters, Student Yan Lie would like to ask you

to help us at Mystic Soul to peacefully control Too-Deep Nation

and win over the five regions again.

Help us at Mystic Soul to peacefully control Too-Deep Nation

and win over the five regions again.

I’m telling you, even though this Mystic Soul Clique

is a big clique in martial arts society.

But, the ones who are really qualified to learn martial art

are those staying on the mountain, Mystic Main Section.

Only those noble-born students are qualified. Okay?

Our place here is called Mystic Black Section.

What is Mystic Black Section for?

We are responsible of serving people.

- No. Clean everywhere here. - Yes, Uncle Zhou.

- Uncle Zhou, these are the clothes you asked for. - Good. Good.

Take it.

I’m telling you this way.

Whoever wears clothes in this color,

they are at the lowest rank.

If you see whoever wearing clothes in other colors,

you must avoid them all.

Come here. Come here.

I’m telling you,

we have food and shelter here with

no wind or no rain.

How blessed we are.

You have to work hard here, never think of useless things.

Don’t be like the children leader, Fuyao.

I’m telling you, this Older Sis Fuyao—

Where is Fuyao? Where is Fuyao?

Where did Fuyao go?

Help us at Mystic Soul to peacefully control Too-Deep Nation

and win over the five regions again.

Help us at Mystic Soul to peacefully control Too-Deep Nation

- and win over the five regions again. - You scared me, Older Sis Fuyao.

Why did you just get here?

You look quite handsome in this. Where is mine? Where is mine?

- Here. Here. - Let me see.

You tell me, it's bad enough we wear cyan garments to pretend as someone in Mystic Main Section.

What if someone finds out that we watch Clique Leader's sacrificial ritual secretly,

I can’t imagine how we will die.

There're so many people in Mystic Main Section.

Who will notice whom?

If we’re being so secretive like you,

we will look more suspicious. Be like me.

Right, no one will recognize me.

But, you 're a trouble maker. How will no one know you?

This hunting game is only held once per eight years.

Of course we have to watch the sacrificial ritual.

We can learn something.

If I've known, I won't take you here.

Don’t be like this. I’m going. I’m going.

Starting today, we are taking application for the once-per-eight-year hunting game

As long as you’re an adult student under our clique,

no matter you’re wearing white, cyan or red garment, you can apply for it.

No judging based on your background but your skills.

The hunting game was established by our clique founder for him to form the clique.

With many levels, it's established in order to select the bravest student

and help the citizens to get rid of the mountain beasts.

The winner will be the hero. What’s a hero?

A person with the plant essence as his content and the animal's power as his strength.

Today’s winner will still be a hero.

He will carry the honor of Mystic Soul Clique

and be the pillar of Too-Deep Nation.

This is a game with both tests and honor.

Whoever wants to participate

has to put the application with your own blood into this Celestial Fangding.

Once you participate in it, you life depends on the game.

Never regret.

Not judging by our background.

They’re still looking down on us from Mystic Black Section, who’s wearing black garment.

Am I wrong?

Do you want to die?

Quickly leave. Leave. Leave. Hurry. Hurry.

Come down. Come down.

Are you bullying me who don’t know how to climb up the tree?

I’m telling you, I’m going to beat you to death if you come down.

Is the sacrificial ritual something you're allowed to go?

It's not enough to cause the trouble to yourself. You even dragged him in.

Are you coming down or not? Coming down or not?

I want to go down but I’m afraid of height, I can’t go down.

- This kid— - Uncle Zhou, don’t be angry. Don't be angry.

Older Sis Fuyao, quickly beg Uncle Zhou.

If you’re helping her, don’t stop me then. If not, I going to beat you too.

- I'm going to beat you— - Stop it. Stop it. Don’t beat him.

- I forced him to go. - No! It wasn't Older Sis Fuyao force me to go.

- I went voluntarily. This really has— - I don’t cared if you went voluntarily or not,

go back and finish your dyeing jobs.

- Okay. Okay. - Quickly leave.
