"Don't Ask 莫问 (Mo Wen)" by Zhang Han 张翰
♫ Within a picture, the characters appear strong. ♫
♫ Withered flowers dance lightly stirring up the water of emotions silently. ♫
♫ Don't ask who weighs more in the heart. ♫
♫ Take up a pen and tell a thousand turbulent stories. ♫
♫ The rainbow streak across the horizon. ♫
♫ Does it know your whereabouts? ♫
♫ Pain spread throughout the land. ♫
♫ How long do we have to wait until it turns cold? ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask why I broke up the relationship in an instant. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ This hurdle is difficult for people to pass even in a thousand years. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask for whom this lonely zither is playing for. ♫

The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Legend of the Scarlet Shadow
Episode 7
Among all of us, only you
the Room Mansion, has this ability.
Actually when you smile, it looks quite nice!
I've never seen a girl like you before.
Do you feel like I'm a Calamity Star, too?
And you said you could drink.
You're drunk after drinking so little.
How could you be a Calamity Star?
I will protect you.
Get up.
Get up!
I don't need you to help me.
You can do it yourself? Work hard.
Go on.
I'll fall to my death here.
I'm afraid.
I'll carry you. Come.
Timing & Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers @ Viki
I want to go up there!
Why?
I want to go up! I want to go up!
In the future I won't let you drink so much anymore.
My Old Father said that no matter how far away you are from your family,
you only need to raise your head to take a look,
and you will see the same stars
and the same expanse of sky.
This way you won't feel lonely.
It will be like your family is by your side.
A real Calamity Star won't have family members with them.
You have your Old Father and Old Mother.
To save you, they'd rather give up their lives.
How could you be a Calamity Star?
Sir.
SIr, look. These vines have wrapped around the entire village.
It looks like there isn't an entrance at all.
Sir, you must keep the big picture in mind!
I have to go to North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island.
Brother Hong Tai!
Good morning, Miss Su Mo.
Where is Chi Yu? Has that lazy bum not gotten up from bed yet?
Last night, I was pestered by a drunkard for half the night.
You are quite energetic today.
Of course! Today is a new day!
The most important thing now is to go to North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island to find the Taoist.
-He can definitely save my tribe.-Is that so?
Then who was the one who got drunk last night
and cried and made a fuss?
I cried and made a fuss?
-Your first time drinking wine?-No.
The first time I drank wine was with Brother Shangguan.
At that time, I didn't cry or make a fuss; I just went to sleep.
Brother Chi Yu, Brother Hong Tai.
Fu'er, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?
Su Mo, I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Yesterday... Yesterday, I shouldn't have-
I know you didn't mean it yesterday.
Besides, yesterday already passed. I have thought things through now.
As long as I save my tribe from trouble,
everyone won't say I'm a Calamity Star; I'll become a Fortune Star!
You aren't a calamity star!
I know I'm not. They're all mistaken.
That's why I have to do something to prove it!
Okay! You two go back and pack.
We have to set out.
[North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island]
This is North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island?
The play where Taoist Lu Ya cultivates?
-That's right.-This North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island
isn't a real island.
It's because this mountain is covered by fog all year round,
only showing its cave and tip every 10,000 years. From a far,
it looks like an island; hence, its name. Looks like the rumors are true.
Young Master, this place has an enchanted barrier. I can't get in anymore.
Then wait for us here.
Then you guys be careful.
Brother Hong Tai, how come you can't get in?
Looks like this enchanted barrier is made to defend against us commoners.
I did hear that this North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island,
not only has a lot of immortals and mythical beasts training here,
but also is the home to a lot of strange beasts.
Before, a lot of people unintentionally got in and died.
That's why they set up an enchanted barrier.
Then...aren't I also a commoner?
Let's just first look for the Taoist before discussing that again.
Then I'll bid everyone goodbye here.
Su Mo!
Brother Shangguan?
Brother Shangguan, why are you here?
Do you know when I couldn't find you at the Peach Blossoms Hollow, how worried I was?
It's good now that you're alright.
Or else, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you again.
I already saw what happened to Peach Blossoms Hollow.
That's why I went here to find Taoist Lu Ya of the North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island and ask him what really happened.
You mainly want to ask about the Vermilion Mysterious Lady, right?
Of course, that was my initial intention.
But now seeing Su Mo, everything is already clear.
Ask clearly about what?
Let's just go look for the Taoist first.
Let's go then.
General, they should have entered not long ago.
How about you guys go in first and I'll just wait here.
You're afraid already?
Yes. Of course, I'm afraid.
I don't have good martial arts skills like Miss Liu.
- Useless coward!- Then you and Yu Yang wait here.
Forget about it. I should be with General Baili for it would be safer.
This little dog can't wait to tear me apart.
- Yu Yang!- Okay already. Stop causing trouble.
Sun Ju, come with me.
- Ruo Shuang, you and Yu Yang stay here and wait for us.- Yes.
Everyone, please be careful. This North Sea Mud Carp Fish Island has very heavy spiritual energy.
A lot of low level beasts like to stay here.
Stay closely. Don't wander off.
Hey, there are joyous fruits here. We should pick a lot. Eating it can decrease sorrow.
Is this a spiritual mushroom? How come it's different from what I saw in the past?
Hey, I'm asking you guys.
General Baili, there might be some strange creatures here.
You must protect me well.
You give me too much importance.
I might not also be able to defeat those strange creatures.
General Baili is too humble.
Earlier, if not for Liu Ruo Shuang stopping Yu Yang,
I'm afraid Yu Yang's claws would have all been broken already.
My martial arts skills are not good. I'm afraid I would have died early.
Martial arts skills are not good? You just need to follow me closely,
then I can guarantee your safety.
Where's Su Mo?
She was still at the back a while ago.
Mo'er!
Su Mo! Su Mo!
- Where's Mo'er?- You're asking me?
Didn't you say that you will look after her well?
Then you and Fu'er wait here. I'll go back to look.
Brother Chi Yu, don't leave me alone.
Where are you guys?
What was that?
That's a badger.
It can mimic other animals' sound.
Don't think that it's good because it looks cute.
If it gets angry, it can hurt you.
I never saw one before.
Hey, where did you guys go earlier? When I turned to look, you guys were gone already.
I have been looking for you guys since here in the forest.
- I'm sorry.- It was I who didn't take good care of you.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I just had an illusion earlier.
Where's Fu'er and Chi Yu? Let's go look for them.
Okay.
Am I seeing a ghost? Why do I keep thinking about him?
No way... I've been possessed.
This forest's dark energy is quite heavy.
- Su Mo!- Su Mo!
What happened to you? Where did you go?
Don't you know it's dangerous?
Why are you getting mad? I haven't even asked you.
Where did you go and you didn't take me with you?
Didn't I tell you already to follow me very closely?
- I didn't hear that.- Then remember it starting now.
From now on, you come with me; not leaving my side at all times.
If you dare to leave even half a step, I'll tie you up and travel carrying you.
What right do you have? Why must I listen to you?
You look. I'll leave right now. One step, two steps, three steps...
Stop! Who are you?
I am just a common hunter.
There's an enchanted barrier here. How can a commoner enter?
But I am really just a normal person.
Oh, right. I can also play with a little fire.
- That is fun!- Don't go near!
This person is suspicious.
I beg you... Please help me.
I am really not a bad person.
My wife is sick at home.
I heard that there's a medicine here that can cure any disease.
With my meager spiritual energy,
I came here risking my life.
But I never thought that there were a lot of monsters here.
Brother Shangguan, Chi Yu...
I feel that this old man is not an evil person. Let's take him with us.
That's right. And if he travels alone, that's too dangerous.
- No way.- Why?
The monsters here are too many.
Are you blind? It's obvious that he's just an old man.
How is he like a monster?
- Brother Shangguan...- I agree with what Chi Yu said.
- Let's go.- I...
The old man earlier is really not some monster.
Why won't you guys take him with us?
Saving him will bring us danger. Who will save us?
With Brother Shangguan plus me, who are we afraid of?
Just you? When did you not require my help?
Did I ask you to save me? You can choose not to save me.
- Say that once again.- So what if I say it once again?
Okay, you two stop fighting already.
What direction will we be heading to now?
- Go here.- Here.
Let's just go there!
- Fu'er- Miss Fu'er!
It's all your fault. If not for you, would she have left?
You shut your mouth.
Fu'er! Brother Shangguan!
Where did you guys go?
Fu'er!
Su Mo! Sumo, where are you?
Fu'er, I've finally found you.
You scared me a while ago.
Don't worry. I'm here. Don't be afraid.
Fu'er, what are you doing?
- Doing what? Kill you.- Fu'er!
Brother Chi Yu!
Brother Shangguan!
Mo'er!
Where are you guys?
You guys, hurry and come out. Don't scare me.
Don't scare me, you guys. Hurry and come out!
Where are you guys, really? Su Mo!
- General Baili!- Miss Fu'er, are you alright?
I'm fine. Why are you here?
Have you forgotten? I told you before.
As long as you are in danger, I will always be by your side.
What was in there a while ago?
Just go see for yourself and you'll know.
Su Mo! Mo'er, what wrong with you? Mo'er!
Mo'er! Baili Han! You evil person! Why did you kill Su Mo!
- Fu'er. Miss Fu'er. Fu'er, please listen to me.- Why did you kill Su Mo! Give me back Su Mo!
- Fu'er! Don't be anxious first!- Give me back Su Mo!
Look at her closely and see if she's really Su Mo.
What's going on?
- General- Have mercy.
I really did not know that she was the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady.
I was just attracted by her spiritual energy.
I'll guarantee that she won't be harmed.
Just let me go.
- Is everything you said the truth?- It's the truth...
I have never heard of an Extort Beast that can say the truth.
Extort Beast? Then was the one earlier also one?
Extort Beast can mimic the appearance of a person.
It never says the truth. It can only say lies to fool people.
Then why did he follow me?
He couldn't have planned on eating me, right?
Because your body contains the Azure Dragon spiritual energy.
It's not just him. A lot of strange beasts will attack you.
Good thing I listened to Brother Chi Yu's advice no to take him with us;
or else, I would have fallen into his trap already.
This one is...
Born for you and will die for you, the Azure Dragon's Room Mansion, Sun Ju.
But...I'm still not decided if I want to become the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady.
Hey, General, what's going on?
Miss Fu'er, you seem to be unhappy. What happened?
My parents...
were killed by Primal Chaos.
Killed? What really happened?
Actually, I still don't know until now
if my parents are alive or not.
But Father wanted me to go here to look for Daoist Lu Ya.
He said that he will have a way to save our tribe.
General Baili, why did you come here?
When you and Shuang'er left,
the other Star Mansions and I escaped out of Dong Ling. We don't know where we are going to go.
That's why we came here to look for Daoist Lu Ya and ask him about it.
Ask him where we Star Mansions should go.
You're blaming me, right?
As long as you're happy, it's fine.
Don't worry. I won't force you
to do something you're not willing to.
Do not mind what Sun Ju said. As the Azure Dragon Star Mansion,
anything that the Mysterious Lady wants, we are all willing to do it.
General Baili, thank you.
Let's go then. Let's go look for your sister.
Let's go.
- Stop!- Fu'er! Fu'er!
Fu'er!
Your blood is so fragrant.
You're not Fu'er.
Su Mo!
Your friends are here.
Your blood is really tasty.
Wait for me here. I'll go look for them first.
See how I'll kill them.
Su Mo! Fu'er!
Brother Shangguan!
Your hand... What happened?
Brother Shangguan, there was a weird Extort Beast earlier that attacked me.
Extort Beast?
Brother Shangguan, I'm scared.
Brother Shangguan, don't leave me. I'm so afraid.
Don't worry. I won't leave you.
Let me see it.
Brother Shangguan, I like you.
Do you like me?
Su Mo! Fu'er! Where are you guys?
Chi Yu, we're here!
- Brother Shangguan, let go of me!- Mo'er?
Shangguan Jin!
- Don't call me, Mo'er.- Mo'er?
Chi Yu, save me. I'm so scared.
Shangguan Jin, what are you doing?
Chi Yu, listen to me explain it first.
Chi Yu, when there was no one around earlier,
he actually...he wanted to...
Mo'er?
Chi Yu, I like you.
You know it. Take me away, okay?
Fu'er...Fu'er!
Who are you?
Chi Yu, I'm Su Mo. Chi Yu...
I am Su Mo.
Where is Su Mo?
Brother Shangguan, Chi Yu...
Su Mo!
Su Mo?
- Earlier...that wasn't me.- I know.
Mo'er...
Fu'er...
It's fine now. Nothing bad will happen to you.
Jade Pearl Peak is already in front us. Let's first look for Daoist Lu Ya.
He will surely have a way to save Su Mo.
Let's go.
Kid, give her to me.
Who are you?
If you care for her, then chase after me!
Su Mo!
You people, can't you differentiate good from bad?
Looks like
you are Daoist Lu Ya's disciple.
Please save her.
Stop faking it.
Stop saving her!
Repaying us badly for our good intentions.
I beg you to save her.
I'm sorry for offending you.
That's better.
Don't bully us just because we look small.
If not because of our sacred spring water protecting your Mysterious Lady's heart,
she would have died already.
Sacred spring water?
If Teacher hadn't said that we must save her,
we wouldn't be willing to waste this sacred spring water.
Enough already! Stop talking nonsense. If this lady dies,
Teacher will hit our butts.
This should be the training area of Daoist Lu Ya.
I don't know how Su Mo and Chi Yu are doing now.
We haven't seen them along the way. Maybe they're dead already.
There were a lot of strange beasts along the road here.
If it wasn't for General Baili's great martial arts skills,
I would have been eaten already.
It won't happen.
Su Mo has Chi Yu and Shangguan Jin beside her.
She'll definitely be fine.
Let us now meet the Daoist first.
Once we meet Daoist Lu Ya, any problems will be easily solved.
Hey, careful!
What a strong power, this child.
Even sunflower seeds can be used to attack people.
What right do you have to call me a child?!
Didn't you see me, your elder, currently basking in the sun?
This immortal child,
you call yourself as our elder.
That can lessen your lifespan.
What a sharp tongued Azure Dragon Horn Mansion!
What a clever and eloquent little Master!
I am Baili Han. Please lead the way.
Who is he? Why are we going with him?
Since he knows me,
he must have been sent by Daoist Lu Ya.
Please then.
That easy?!
Thank you.
Since little child loves to eat seeds so much,
then let me return some to you.
Hmp! You Dong Ling Horn Mansion seems up to par.
Kid, you suddenly attacking, that's unfair.
But Dong Ling Room Mansion is a coward,
hiding behind a lady; not fun.
Hey, little child, who are you?
I never provoked you but why do you keep causing us trouble?
This Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady is less fun than the Vermilion Mysterious Lady earlier.
Before, coward like a rat; after a while, all high-and-mighty.
Vermilion Mysterious Lady?
You saw the Vermilion Mysterious Lady already?
Daoist Lu Ya has an order. Come with me now.
Wait!
Did you really see the Vermilion Mysterious Lady?
What's her name?
Where is she now?
The Vermilion Mysterious Lady, with the Ghost Mansion and Star Mansion, has been gravely injured. She's currently being healed.
Ghost Mansion? Star Mansion?
Vermilion Mysterious Lady?
It's your best sister. Stupid! Still not getting it.
Your friend's heart is already fragmented.
She lost a lot of blood.
Even if we use the sacred spring water to protect her heart and pulse,
she won't last beyond 12 hours.
- Chi Yu!- Didn't you say that you could save her?
What do we have to do to save her?
This girl is naturally unyielding. She has lost too much blood,
so we need the blood from others to save her.
Then use my blood!
As long as it can save her, it's fine if you use all my blood!
Use my blood.
Use my blood to save her.
Use your blood to save her?
We will be needing your heart's blood. It's easy to die from it.
You don't need to worry about that.
As long as it can save her,
losing our life is nothing.
May this immortal child fulfill our wish.
We are willing to save this friend,
because her injury now is all due to us.
You guys volunteered for this.
If anything happens and Teacher will blame someone,
don't you guys dare to say it's our fault.
We won't.
We are willing to use our lives in exchange for hers.
As long as it can save her, anything is fine.
What are you guys waiting for then?
Come with me.

Mysterious Lady, stop moving.
Who are you? Where is this?
What's wrong with them? Brother Shangguan, Chi Yu...
- Chi Yu...- Don't move!
If you keep moving, my spiritual energy can't guard you guys any longer.
Don't talk. If you leak spiritual energy, the three of you will die.
What's going on? I feel hot.
Looks like it's enough already. Take it back.
If not for my senior increasing his spiritual energy to hasten your recovery,
moving unnecessarily could have killed you, no doubt.
Let's go.
Chi Yu?
Chi Yu...
Where am I? What happened?
You already don't remember anything?
I...seemed to have been injured, right?
Do you know earlier how much you --
how much danger youwere in?
You almost lost your life.
I'm telling you one last time.
In the future, regardless of what you encounter,
never use risking one's life as a price.
You understand?
I understand.
- If I die, why are getting anxious?- I...
It's just that I promised your dad, the tribe leader,
that I would protect and take care of you well.
Mo'er.
Brother Shangguan, are you alright?
I'm fine.
It's good you're fine.
I'm okay.
Don't do that again next time, okay?
I already know it.
Chi Yu has lectured me about it already earlier.
Brother Shangguan, where are we?
This is Daoist Lu Ya's Peace Temple.
You said earlier that I almost died.
- Who saved me?- It's his disciple.
They used Kunlun's sacred spring water to save you.
No wonder...I feel that my body is more energetic than before I got injured.
But...how come you two look very weak?
The two of them are, of course, weak.
They used their heart's blood to save you.
The two of them --
If not because these friends of yours had strong bodies and spiritual energy,
even if they died, they wouldn't be able to save you.
From now on, the three of you are connected through your blood and pulse. You guys are bound for life.
Bound for life?
You're so talkative. One must not leak Heaven's will.
Oh right, Fu'er.
Immortal children, have you seen my best friend?
Are you referring to the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady?
They are resting in the garden at the back. Come with us then.
They?
Your friend is right there. You guys go have a chat.
- Fu'er!- Su Mo!
General Baili, I trust you have been well since we last met.
Lord Jin? Never thought I would see you here.
And also, Miss Su.
I heard that you guys were injured.
But from the looks of it, the Daoist has already found a way to treat you guys.
That has nothing to do with General Baili.
We, indeed, incurred grave injuries.
But because of Kunlun's sacred water spring,
we are now all fine.
Fu'er --
Why are you with him?
Are you the Vermilion Mysterious Lady?
I don't know.
Why did you lie to me?
I didn't.
Even if you're the Vermilion Mysterious Lady, I wouldn't do anything to you.
But why did you lie to me?
Why must you lie?
Fu'er, let me exlain. I --
Okay. I'll listen to your explanation. Say it.
General Baili, Mister Sun Ju,
may I ask you guys to leave us for a while?
Lord Jin, the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady is here.
You wouldn't be planning to do some bad things again, right?
Oh, right.
The Vermilion Mysterious Lady is also here. I reckon that you will not make your move.
Vermilion Mysterious Lady, I leave Miss Fu'er's safety to you then.
Fu'er...
- Say it.- At Jiu Li, during the Offering Ceremony,
I indeed did not have any reaction with the Vermilion statue.
That's why I'm not.
But when we came here, they kept telling me that I am.
I also don't understand.
Miss Fu'er, what Su Mo said is all true.
She didn't lie to you.
Fu'er, we grew up together.
We are sisters. I wouldn't lie to you.
You must believe me.
Okay. I believe you.
On the way here, did you meet any danger?
Good thing there was General Baili; or else, you might've never seen me again.
He saved you?
Every time I encounter danger,
the one appearing at my side is always him.
But even if that's the case, he's still a bad guy.
You must not trust him too much.
I only believe what I see.
Or to put it another way, he treats me very well.
Miss Fu'er,
General Baili is really a very scheming person.
I don't want to hear you guys say bad things about him.
He and I might have what they call an "entanglement."
It's the entanglement between the Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady and the Horn Mansion.
Just like...
them risking their life to protect you.
Vermilion Mysterious Lady, Ghost Mansion, and Star Mansion,
Teacher is asking for you guys for a talk.
Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady please stay. Teacher only called for the Vermilion Mysterious Lady, Ghost Mansion, and Star Mansion.
Azure Dragon Mysterious Lady, please wait here at the garden.
General Baili, every time I see you smile,
I get goosebumps.
Could it be General Baili has thought of another evil scheme?
I just feel sad for our Mysterious Lady.
Daoist fell asleep?
Daoist is travelling.(Immortals can travel while leaving their human body in deep sleep)
You're so stupid. How can you become a Mysterious Lady?
So it's the Vermilion Mysterious Lady. You're here.
