Episode 12: Nan Yan and Ji Yang enter the Immortal Valley
After Meng Zhiguang left, Mu Zhanting found the letter Nan Rao left for Nan Yan, as well as more than a dozen jars of fine wine buried deep under the peach tree. It turned out that Nan Rao had already known that her daughter was practicing with Ji Yang.
Seeing her daughter meet a good man, she felt relieved and could die peacefully. Those cicada dew sorrows were all brewed by Nan Rao herself. Each jar remembered Nan Yan’s growing years and birthday every year.
Yin Ya gave moon cakes to Ji Yang, and his eyes fell on the silver dragon bead on Ji Yang’s neck. He couldn’t help but tease Nan Yan for treating him differently.
Because they were going to enter the Immortal Valley tomorrow, Yin Ya speculated that the people of Daoshengtian would guard the entrance to intercept Ji Yang.
So he planned to use the charm technique that the Yansheng Fox Clan was good at to transform Ji Yang into a young woman, to avoid the eyes and ears of Daoshengtian disciples and ensure the secret of his whereabouts.
The next morning, Mu Zhanting accompanied Nan Yan to the Ecliptic Valley, but unexpectedly, they were trapped by Mu Guanghan’s spell.
Just when Mu Zhanting was pessimistic and thought he was going to break his promise to Nan Yan, Mu Guanghan made a grand appearance, untied him again, and insisted that he go home with him.
There were many contradictions between the father and son. Mu Guanghan hoped that his son could inherit his legacy and become a top master in the martial arts world; while Mu Zhanting was fond of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and had no interest in martial arts.
Mu Guanghan regarded him as “not doing his job properly”, which made him lose face. Mu Guanghan reiterated that as the young master of Longdu, it was his destiny to inherit the family business, and he had no right to refuse.
This remark aroused Mu Zhanting’s strong disgust and dissatisfaction. Nan Yan saw that Mu Guanghan was about to hit Mu Zhanting, and hurried forward to stop him, persuading him to respect Mu Zhanting’s choice, because everything in the world has its own uniqueness, so are people, and the paths are also different.
Nan Yan was often regarded as dull by the teacher at the beginning, but her mother taught her not to be disturbed by other people’s words. Only by finding the path she loves can she show the light of wisdom.
Therefore, in Nan Yan’s view, if her mother forced her to do something she didn’t want to do in the name of inheriting the family business, she would probably accomplish nothing now. Nan Yan, based on her own experience, believes that there is no overnight hatred between fathers and sons in the world.
They should be honest with each other and any barriers can be resolved through communication. Mu Guanghan heard this and felt that Nan Yan’s words were familiar, but he deeply felt that it made sense, so he decided to take Mu Zhanting back to Longdu and have a good talk with his son.
Just when Mu Zhanting firmly stated that he would accompany Nan Yan to the Evil Valley, Dao Shengtian’s people suddenly appeared. Mu Zhanting took the opportunity to complain to his father, saying that Zhu Sui had slandered him a lot.
Mu Guanghan was furious when he heard this and immediately attacked Zhu Sui. Seeing this, Mu Zhanting took the opportunity to pull Nan Yan away from the scene. When Mu Guanghan came to his senses, the two had disappeared without a trace.
On the other side, Yin Ya successfully persuaded Ji Yang to agree to transform, and taught him to imitate the words and deeds of women in order to better hide his identity. Even if Dao Shengtian’s disciples had a fiery eye, it would be difficult to see through Ji Yang’s disguise.
Because the fox tribe was extremely sensitive to Yin Zhu’s aura, Ji Yang asked Yin Ya to lead the way in front, and then go deep into the core area of the Humiliation Valley to directly attack Yin Zhu’s nest. Faced with Ji Yang’s forceful coercion, Yin Ya was unwilling, but he had to reluctantly agree.
At the entrance of the Humiliation Valley, Ji Yang and Yin Ya dressed up as women, aliased “Tianshan Shuanglian”, cleverly passed Dao Shengtian’s interrogation, and got through the danger.
Mo Xingzheng had doubts about the identity of Ji Yang’s disguised woman and followed him all the way. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Ji Yang and asked why he showed mercy.
Ji Yang told Mo Xingzheng that some things are better known less, and his mission is to capture the fugitive Shao Cang and bring him to justice. In the future, the two should no longer care about any feelings.
At this time, Zhu Sui suddenly brought people to come, and Ji Yang immediately knocked Mo Xingzheng unconscious. Just as the two sides were about to fight, Yin Ya appeared in time and took Ji Yang away.
Nan Yan seemed to hear her mother’s voice in a trance, and the voice kept repeating a poem full of sorrow until she was awakened by Mu Zhanting.
In order to prevent their minds from being disturbed by resentful spirits, the two decided to plug their ears and move forward. However, not long after entering the Evil Valley, they unexpectedly encountered the demon elders Deng Ba and Zhan Xian.
Although Mu Zhanting fought hard, he was defeated by the demon elders, and Nan Yan was unfortunately hijacked.
At this critical moment, Nan Yan was quick-witted and used poison to make Zhan Xian lose his fighting ability and break free from his restraints. After escaping danger, she was still in shock and secretly blamed Ji Yang’s “crow mouth” for coming true, which really made her meet the demons.
At this time, Ji Yang learned that Nan Yan was in danger through the Lingxi Seal, and quickly came to rescue her, and the four of them reunited again.
Ji Yang was worried about Nan Yan’s safety and urged her to leave the Immortal Valley with Mu Zhanting, but Nan Yan was determined and said that she had lost her mother and did not want to lose Ji Yang again.
Seeing that Mu Zhanting vowed to protect Nan Yan, Ji Yang finally agreed and took out the map to analyze the possible hiding place of the hail blood golden branch for Nan Yan.
