Episode 12 recap: Yimei wanted to activate the Kongjue weapon.
Qi Xiaoxuan reburied Mu Dan's body in a flowerpot, feeling that everything he had experienced was like a fleeting illusion, but he hoped that Mu Dan would bloom again someday. Qi Yanran couldn't help but mock Qi Xiaoxuan, saying that even though they captured the demon, they couldn't let their guard down. She also said that Qi Xiaoxuan was a disgrace to the sect.
Qi Xiaoxuan calmly told her sister that if she was done scolding, she should leave. Qi Yanran thought that Mrs. Qi (Old lady) might be a little blind as she couldn't understand why she favored Qi Xiaoxuan. She was determined not to give the position of the sect to Qi Xiaoxuan.
Qi Xiaoxuan recalled his childhood and felt deeply wounded. Ximen Miaomiao saw Cheng JINian and Wang Yuqian fighting and barged in looking for her cat. Wang Yuqian and Hu Zi were stunned by Ximen Miaomiao's beauty and were curious about her background.
Hu Zi believed that if they wanted to find clues about her mother, they would have to enter the Yanluo Hall. Elder saw Hu Zi earnestly selecting weapons there and thought the child was like a fool. In fact, the best weapon was within him. Elder remembered that Yimei had told him that Kongjue alone couldn't completely suppress the demonic energy inside Hu Zi. Only by activating Kongjue could they suppress the demonic energy and perhaps witness the grace of using Kongjue in the past.
Qi Xiaoxuan went to the black market to ask them to find the demons inside the Tiangang Hall. Qi Xiaoxuan overheard someone muttering to themselves that ghosts might have escaped from the Tiangang Hall. He felt that this matter might not stay hidden for long, and they must find clues to understand it. Cheng JINian saw Mo Gu Zi standing there pale-faced and found it a bit scary.
Ximen Miaomiao had just arrived at the store and heard people inside badmouthing her. She revealed herself as a teacher to the students, but everyone found it strange, especially with Mo Gu Zi's eerie and creepy demeanor. Cheng JINian wanted Zhao Xintong to team up with him, but Hu Zi couldn't stand it and openly confronted Cheng JINian.
Xing Zhi felt that it would be difficult to activate the weapon inside Hu Zi's body. But Yimei thought that there's an advantage to hiding in the dark while they were in the light, making things easier for them. Ximen Miaomiao found Mo Gu Zi intriguing. Elder, realizing the long road ahead, wanted to train Hu Zi to quickly unleash the power of Kongjue, but Hu Zi found the training too difficult for himself.
Everyone looked at Hu Zi's troubled expression and felt that he was going through a lot of hardship.
Xi Men Miaomiao suggested that Mo Gu Zi should interact more with people. However, Mo Gu Zi found people terrifying and believed that their disgust could make them unrecognizable.
Hu Zi carried a heavy water bucket and quickly depleted his energy, but he easily mastered Kongjue. Elder gave the order that from today onwards, Hu Zi must hold Kongjue even when sleeping, subjecting him to unbearable torment. Elder exerted all his strength and efforts to activate Kongjue.
Qi Xiaoxuan continued to chase and capture monsters along the way, aiming to catch the monsters that had escaped from the East Gate to prevent them from causing havoc again. Through diligent practice, Hu Zi became more skillful.
Xi Men Miaomiao instructed the students to search for 100 bees on Baihua Mountain, emphasizing that the number of bees was limited and urging them to make haste.
Xi Men Miaomiao was delighted when she saw the bracelet that Mo Gu Zi had given her. Wang Yuqian and the others ran into the mountains but discovered they had taken the wrong path. They tried to reenter the exam venue but were rejected, realizing that Cheng JINian was behind it.
Zhao Xintong followed half of the map and found the location of the exam. Xi Men Miaomiao saw the students earnestly capturing bee pearls and suddenly noticed that they had entered a beehive. Zhao Xintong believed that one must venture into the tiger's den to obtain Hu Zi.
The beehive was filled to the brim with pots and bowls. Yimei wanted to choose a suitable place to release the queen bee, but Xi Men Miaomiao observed Yimei's every move. Qi Xiaoxuan also returned to the exam site, instructing others to report any abnormalities promptly. Zhi Xie discovered strange phenomena inside the prison and wanted to report it.
Yimei discovered Xi Men Miaomiao and intended to kill her to prevent any trouble.
I'm not nitpicking, but let me share my emotional changes after watching the drama. I was originally excited to watch it because I really like supernatural-themed shows. However, after watching the first 6 episodes, the character Hu Zi completely ruined it for me.
My impression of the character is that he's always stealing things, doesn't apologize or take responsibility for his actions, and fails to grasp the importance of certain events (he even let the female lead fix the gun first).
I apologize for being brutally honest, but it's truly because of this that I lost interest in watching further.
That's not right. I've seen many people say that it's possible to balance both within the limited time, but how do you control it within that timeframe? Hu Zi had to repair the gun and then retrieve the bead...
Many things can't go according to plan. The bead is related to the lives of so many people. Shouldn't the priority be to ensure the safe delivery of the bead first? Everything else can be dealt with later. Once the bead is safely delivered, Hu Zi's life can be saved as well!
So, ensuring the safe delivery of the bead is crucial.
