The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Legend of the Scarlet Shadow

Episode 36

Let's split into two groups first

to find the Water Essence and Soul and the Tree Essence and Soul.

Then take them to Mt. Kun Lun to open the seal.

Twenty-two years ago, I used the blood of the foreign tribesmen and made a special barrier spell.

As long as a person of the You Wu tribe comes in, they will lose all their strength.

Why can't we give him a chance?

Grandma, as long as you promise me this,

I will do whatever you want me to do in the future.

If even our Green Village ancestors can't forgive him,

then you can't have any objections in the future.

Only this way,

so that when they successfully pass thorough this,

it can shut all those criticisms.

Only this way,

will my granddaughter in Green Village in the future,

have a place to stand!

Su Shui!

Timing & Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers @ Viki

Why have you come?

At Soup Valley, you saved my life. I'll repay you now.

We don't owe each other anything.

Hurry and move it. I don't want to put my life on the line.

Grandma, not so hard! It hurts!

You know how to feel pain now? When you first went to save Su Shui,

why didn't you know how to when you rushed forward?

What if... What if something bad happened to you?

How can I answer to your parents?

I was wrong, Grandma. Don't be angry.

Grandma, I don't dare to do it next time!

Will there still be a next time?

There won't be!

Then... this.

Go take it to that person.

Is it for Su Shui?

Thank you! Thank you for forgiving Su Shui, Grandma.

Did I say that I forgave him?

Killing him ten times won't pay for his tribe's crimes.

He can only make it out alive because of you.

Also, because of that Heart Moon Fox, you can only say that his life was born good.

I really don't understand.

Why did you have to go save him while risking your life?

Okay-okay, I don't want to hear anything about him.

Is that Heart Moon Fox also a part of your Vermilion Bird group?

No. He is an Azure Dragon Star Mansion.

Why did he have to save a Vermilion Bird's person and you?

I don't know either. He's very hard to understand.

He always has this appearance of despising worldly conventions.

He wanted to kill me before, too! Now he's coming to help me.

I don't know what he's playing at either.

Then are you still going to go summon the Vermilion Bird?

Of course!

The road to summoning is full of obstacles.

You may have gone through much,

but the path to come is still very difficult.

I know.

Even if you don't go, your friends can still summon the Vermilion Bird.

Let them go save the world.

You are just a girl, not a hero.

Stay here with me and your tribesmen.

Grandma, I know you're worrying about me,

but there are some things that I must go do.

My friends are still waiting for me.

I want to summon the Vermilion Bird with them.

There are also my foster parents in Peach Blossom Hollow.

I can't let them continue to be trapped under the tree roots.

They raised me for so many years.

I can't forsake them.

But I promise you, after the Vermilion Bird is summoned,

I will definitely come back here to be with you!

Very well then.

Come with me. I'll take you to a place.

Okay!

Shen Hua, since you are the Vermilion Bird Mysterious Lady,

do you know what a Mysterious Lady lives for?

Mysterious Lady is an envoy of the Heaven Emperor, who came from the unbound immortal realm.

She is reincarnated every 60 years

and is born within the four lands that are unbounded in all directions.

The four lands that are unbounded in all directions?

In the vast heaven and land, beyond the unbound,

she will return to the unbound (land). But in the middle of the land,

there are four mysterious villages.

They constantly receives the guidance of the four lands with unbound in all directions.

Green Village is one of them.

Then... there's four villages like this one?

These four villages receive the guidance energy of the four lands with unbound in all directions.

Every sixty years, one Mysterious Lady is born from it.

Because the mysterious ladies are being born in different days;

hence, receives the effect of different constellations.

Therefore, they show different physique.

Those that belong to the fire power is the Vermilion Bird.

Those that belong to the water power is the Azure Dragon.

Because of the continuous birth of the Mysterious Lady,

every sixty years, something terrible will happen to these four villages.

Green Village was like this.

Mei Shan was already lost.

Zi Gui was lost as well.

Then... there is still one more?

Peach Blossom Hollow. The village of Peach Blossom Hollow

has lasted the longest out of the four villages and is the most peaceful.

The reason is that Peach Blossom Hollow's land belongs to Jiu Li

and has been lead by a good king.

So, it has always been peaceful and safe.

I never thought that Peach Blossom Hollow would now also be under a dark magic spell.

Experiencing such bad luck... it's really so unfortunate.

The four lands with unbounded in an all directions force sounds like it's some magical energy.

But if there is no such supernatural power, then these four villages

will go back to normal and won't be faced with bad luck?

Shen Hua, you are right.

This is all because people live greedily.

To quiet the heavens and the earth, the four symbol calming magical chant.

In the beginning, the emperor lives within the royal city, located within forbidden closure in the ninth Heavens,

with all the thousands of immortals.

All those that become immortals already have their hourglasses at their ends.

Unending worries.

The high ones raise their form and ascend to the void and are called the sky immortals.

The middle ones tour the famous mountains and are called the land immortals.

The low ones die first then cast their skin and are called dissolving corpse immortals.

At that time, the Emperor was surrounded by 8 crowds.

Being given offerings. Being revered.

Being respected. Being praised.

At this time, becoming pure because of the essence of the water fire.

Becoming fragrant because of the essence of the flowers and trees. Boiling because of the Mysterious' lady's blood. Grandma...

To quiet the heavens and the earth, the four symbol calming magical chant

was created by the great Emperor Pan Gu.

It's only recorded in Nv Wa's protected mountain, Mt. Bu Zhou.

This copy was stolen by our ancestors

who risked their lives to go to Mt. Bu Zhou.

Look here, too.

The Water Soul and Essence is hidden in the West Seas.

The Tree Soul and Essence is commanded by Yu Min.

Teachings protected for generations. The sealed location is

beneath the chilly ice of Mt. Kunlun.

Three treasures are needed to summon the mythological beast.

Water Essence and Soul, Tree Essence and Soul,

These are the sources that great Emperor Pan Gu used

to summon the different world beings when he split heaven and earth apart.

The most important thing

is the blood of the Mysterious Lady.

My blood? -Yes.

But... before I have summoned the Vermilion Bird, I don't have it's power.

I can't be considered a true Mysterious Lady.

That's right. You are just a regular girl right now.

However, in the past,

our village indeed was able to summon the four mythological beasts.

So, you already have the Mysterious Lady's bloodline in your body.

Your blood is the best thing to use to summon the mythical beast.

During the full moon when we'll have the grand offering ceremony,

after you've drank the sacred water,

only then will Green Village's ancestors

acknowledge your identity as a member of Green Village.

At that time, the Mysterious Lady's blood

will truly activate.

If you go to Bu Zhou Mountain now, it'll be useless.

Then when is the grand offering ceremony? I can wait.

Of course, you can wait.

Because you are a daughter of Green Village. But Su Shui cannot.

We may have forgiven him,

but it doesn't mean that we have to treat him respectfully.

The You Wu tribe will always be our enemies.

Su Shui must leave.

The people of Green Village are afraid that they'll be in danger again,

so they put an enchantment in.

Normal people will find it hard to discover the exit.

I wonder how Big Brother Shangguan and the others are doing.

I wonder if they went to Bu Zhou Mountain. If they went,

they probably found the way to summon the Vermilion Bird.

Don't worry, I will find them.

This is the herbal medicine my grandma made just for you.

She wanted me to give it to you.

Can my tribe's wrongdoings really be forgiven?

They can.

But it needs time.

I will definitely find Shangguan Jin.

After you're finished with the grand offering ceremony, I will be here waiting for you.

You must be careful of Heart Moon Fox. -Okay.

He may have saved us this time, but he still belongs to the Azure Dragon.

If he knew about the way to summon the Azure Dragon,

I'm afraid he might harm you.

I know.

After his injuries heal, I will ask my grandma to ask him to leave.

Also, this is Green Village's territory. He wouldn't dare to be rash.

You want to drive me out of Green Village? I only got hurt for you.

My injuries haven't even healed yet.

And you want to send me away?

You eavesdropped on my conversation with Su Shui?

I just happened to pass by.

I just happened to hear that using the Water Essence and Soul, Tree Essence and Soul ,

and your blood, the Azure Dragon can be summoned.

What do you want?

I don't want anything.

There's a reason why I have to summon the Azure Dragon.

But based on my ability right now,

it would be difficult to gather everything.

Summoning the Azure Dragon isn't a simple task.
