Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

~ Episode 8 ~

Maybe you hallucinated due to almost being drowned yesterday.

Maybe the person who is secretly refining gold is you!

You've never liked us because you're afraid of being found out!

That's right!

This... belongs to your older brother, right?

I remember that day in the Memorial Hall, you said

that you can frequently sense his presence

because you know that he really isn't dead!

Ke Tu, I remember that your older brother indeed owns such an item.

Unexpectedly,

you actually want to be on the throne by any means necessary.

This is the real thing.

The one they have is an imitation!

Unexpectedly, you actually stole this from my older brother's tomb.

If not because this thing is very important to me,

I have been wearing it all this time

and left an imitation in the tomb.

Then your lies today would become true.

Totally preposterous!

Lord Wind Calmer,

originally for you, an outsider, to join our tribe,

we tolerated you and held no grudge against you.

Unexpectedly, this person is full of lies

and is doing every means necessary to get what they want.

Just to achieve merit, they fooled our tribe.

Leader Wind Calmer, they are originally sacrifices.

Immediately hold the sacrificial rites.

Bring them to the Bloody Fog Forest!

Arrest them!

Leader Wind Calmer, what I said were all true!

What won't you believe me?!

Let go of me!

This...

Leader!

Leader. - Leader Wind Calmer!

Okay! Send them on their way!

Why are you pushing me?

I initially just planned to look for a source of fortune

but instead I bumped into an unlucky star.

You tell me, does my brain have problems?

I could be a nice mountain bandit leader but I didn't want to be and insisted to fight for treasures with you.

And now we're doomed, aren't we?

I'm already not far from death.

It's all your fault!

Ma Da Dao, we were the ones who dragged you into this trouble.

We still haven't reached the stage to talk about such things.

Let's think of a way. We surely will be able to escape.

Escape?

Dream on.

Do you think that going to the Bloody Fog Forest is just role play?

The hour of the appearing of the Bloody Fog Forest that Aunt Yan predicted will soon arrive.

Let's hurry and leave!

Hey-- Oh, right.

I must not forget this.

What are you doing?!

What are you doing?!

Hey!

What was that thing that you fed us?!

I'm sure you all have eaten this.

That thing will cause you to have hallucinations.

This is extracted from the red fruits and leaves.

Just think about what will happen to you next.

I think that it'll be a greater surprise.

Just enjoy it then. Okay?

Let's leave!

Where are you taking me?

You'll know when we get there.

No way. If you don't say it now, I won't move anymore.

Don't. Don't rush. You'll know it in a little while.

Hurry and close your eyes.

Close my eyes? How can I see the path then?

Ah... that's right.

How about this? I'll pull you.

I'll be your eyes.

Okay.

Do you really trust me that much?

Aren't you afraid that I'll push you into the cooking pan?

Are you going or not?

Going. Going. Let's go now.

Be careful. Be careful.

Step.

Woah! - Hey! Hey!

Be careful!

We'll be there soon. We'll be there soon.

We're here. We're here. You can open your eyes now.

Wow!

What beautiful flowers!

You like them, right?

Although you grew up in the palace,

you have surely seen a lot of precious and rare flowers.

But I can guarantee that you haven't seen the rare flowers and plants of Clouds Village.

Because only Clouds Village has these.

Wow!

Look at these. - So pretty.

Zi Su.

Here.

Are these for me?

Of course.

Thank you.

Does it look good?

It looks so good!

It must look so ugly.

No way. It looks so pretty.

Older Sister Zi Su!

Older Sister Zi Su!

Little Shi Tou!

Older Sister Zi Su, can you play with me?

Sure.

Let's ask Older Brother Zhan Xiong to make us a little flower cat

from these wild flowers, okay?

He doesn't surely know how to do that.

Who told you I didn't know how to do that?

Do you believe that I can turn it into a cow?

Shi Tou!

What?

Come home with me, Shi Tou.

I still want to play with Older Sister Zi Su for a while.

That's right. Let him play for a while more.

No way. You must go home with me now.

I will just play with Older Sister Zi Su for a while more.

Shi Tou's mother, no... we can bring him home later.

Go. Hurry. Hurry and move. No, you can't. - Mother, I want to play with Older Sister Zi Su for a little longer.

Mother!

It's not your fault. It must be that Little Shi Tou made his mother mad again.

Let's go now.

Don't go now.

Over there! There are still a lot of flowers over there!

Lord Ke Tu. - How are they doing?

I've already given them the medicine.

Usually, 30 minutes after these sacrifices are brought on the edge of the Bloody Fog Forest,

Bao Ya will bring his men to come here and take them.

We don't have much time.

It looks like they're quite healthy.

Even though they can't control their own body,

their overall consciousness is still intact.

Lord Ke Tu, this is too risky.

What if they don't cooperate

or they don't hear us?

There is no meaning to fight about it now.

We can only gamble.

As for the rest... let's just leave it to the blessings of the Sand God.

Older Sis Mei Hua, where are you guys going?

Hurry and move!

In such a hurry?

Older Bro Mu Tou, do you know where Older Sis Mei Hua and them are going?

Hurry, let's run!

What?

What's going on here?

Hurry and go!

Really weird. This...

Jeez, this Clouds Village, they-- How come they like to sleep in the afternoon?

I really can't get used to their customs.

Really can't get used to it.

Stop consoling me already.

I can see it.

They are still very afraid of me.

They just don't understand you.

As long as they understand you, they will be like me and not be afraid of you anymore.

Really?

Then will you never be afraid of me, avoid me, and leave me?

You can't be sure of that...

Don't come near! - Hey!

Don't move! Don't move!

How about this? I promise you

that even if one day, you point a knife to my neck,

I still won't leave you.

Really?

Yes.

Hey, let me tell you. The people here in Clouds Village really do take afternoon naps.

Village Chief, wine isn't meant to be drank like this.

Do you get drunk to increase your courage?

Does it work?

I did completely see through it.

We're severely frightened by that demon exterminator.

Including me, none dared to attack her.

How about let's just drop it?

She didn't really cause us harm.

At least for now, she still hasn't.

No way.

We must make the first move first to get the upper hand.

But they are still kids.

I'm doing this also for the children of Clouds Village.

Catch Zi Su.

Let her swear to let us go.

But... But no one dares to do it.

If we can't do it openly,

let's then do it covertly.

I know that you still have some consciousness.

You must hold out to listen until I finish all my words.

What I want to tell you is

you can tell me about my older brother, can't you?

I totally believe you.

A Ji Ya.

A Ji Ya.

Ma Da Dao! Ma Da Dao!

Could it be that everything earlier was just my imagination?

Wrong. If it was just an imagination,

how come I am completely fine?
