Moonlight Mystique 白月梵星 Episode 5

Nowadays, there is unprecedented bustle outside the City Lord's Mansion. Those who are cursing and accusing outside the door are all the people protected and cherished by the City Lord Bai Xun. When Bai Shuo woke up, she found herself in a carriage. She hurriedly shouted to Wang Bo, who was driving the carriage, to stop, but because it was the city lord's order, Wang Bo tried every means to prevent Bai Shuo from returning to the city. Bai Shuo agreed to Wang Bo's request on the surface, but actually knocked him unconscious when he was not prepared. With the help of Fan Yue, he quickly returned to Ning'an City, where he met the Five Immortals of Lanling and Chong Zhao who came to support him. Jin Yao wanted to take Bai Shuo away, but Fan Yue let Bai Shuo go first and stayed alone to fight against Jin Yao and his group.

Chong Zhao followed closely behind and tried to persuade Bai Shuo to go back to Lanling with him, but Bai Shuo refused. Fortunately, Tian Huo and Zang Shan showed up in time and blocked Chong Zhao's way. Fuling deliberately set up a barrier on the road leading to the City Lord's Mansion to prevent Bai Shuo from approaching the mansion, and watched her father face the angry people alone. These people questioned and abused Bai Xun, and even broke his forehead until it bled, completely losing their previous gratitude towards the city lord. Under the influence of Fuling's magical power, Bai Xun gradually lost his mind, which terrified the people. They then shouted that they wanted to kill him and rushed forward to beat Bai Xun.

Seeing this scene, Fuling couldn't help but sigh that the citizens of the city that Bai Xun cared about so much were all ungrateful and murderous, wanting to kill him. She persuaded Bai Shuo to join the demon clan and serve Lengquan Palace, so that he would be appreciated by his master Zhenyu. Bai Shuo was extremely grief-stricken and asked Fuling to cure the poison. Fuling said that there was no antidote for the poison and the fight would not stop until one person was dead. Someone would die today. Afterwards, Fuling activated her demonic power again, and Bai Xun went mad and wanted to kill people. The little girl begged him not to hurt her father, and her crying awakened his sanity. In order to protect the people of Ning'an City, Bai Xun knelt down and prayed to the gods, willing to exchange his life for the peace of the city, and then drew his sword and committed suicide.

Bai Shuo, who witnessed the whole process, was heartbroken. After the barrier was opened, he ran to his father and hugged him tightly in his arms. He even developed hatred for the people around him. But at the last moment, Bai Xun grabbed his daughter, and his death made the "good" thought come out. The thoughtless stone absorbed the good thoughts and burst into divine light. Bai Shuo soared into the sky, and the divine light covered the entire Ning'an City, healing the people in the city. The dark poison. Fan Yue rushed towards Bai Shuo immediately and caught her in his arms in mid-air. Zhenyu wanted to hurt Chongzhao, and Fuling attacked again when seeing this, which made him dissatisfied. When Jin Yao and his group of immortals came here, the people of the whole city expressed their gratitude, ignoring the fact that the disaster was quelled thanks to the city lord's sacrifice. Originally, Fan Yue wanted to carry the unconscious Bai Shuo away, but Jin Yao reminded him that they should let the father and daughter say goodbye, or at least let Bai Shuo see Bai Xun off for the last time.

At this moment, Bai Shuo's consciousness came to Yueyin Sea again, and saw the "benefactor" he had been looking for for many years. He begged the other party to bring his father back to life, but the benefactor said that she was the one who could truly interfere with life and death. The benefactor reminded Bai Shuo to gather her thoughts and restart the power of the Wu Nian Stone. The meaning of her existence is not to repay anyone, nor should she live for anyone. The Wu Nian Stone entering her body is both an opportunity and a cause and effect.

After returning to reality, Bai Shuo hurried to the mourning hall, lay down beside his father's coffin and cried, and buried him personally. Ning'an City outside the City Lord's Mansion was in a state of calm after the chaos. Jin Yao climbed up to look out and felt that today's situation was not only the fault of the Immortal Clan but also the fault of the Haoyue Palace. He hoped that Fan Yue would let Bai Shuo choose for himself, whether to enter the Immortal Gate or the Demon Palace. . Zhenyu brought Fuling back to Lengquan Palace and severely punished her because she frequently showed "kindness" to save Chongzhao, which was contrary to her previous style of doing things. Fuling denied that she had any feelings for Chongzhao, and that she only wanted him to work for Lengquan Palace. Zhenyu asked Fuling to make Chongzhao work for him within a month, otherwise he would personally end his life.

Inside the mourning hall, Bai Shuo finally sees clearly the immortals and demons, and can no longer go back to the past with Chong Zhao, and they will become strangers from now on. Because Jin Yao used magic to erase the people's memories, on the day of the funeral, the people lined the streets crying and had completely forgotten that they had forced the city lord to death. Only Bai Shuo, Fan Yue and others retained this memory. After burying his father, Bai Shuo knelt in front of Bai Xun's tomb. After this incident, he realized that it was better to rely on himself than on others. He secretly vowed to become stronger and go to Lengquan Palace to avenge him. Fan Yue appeared and prepared to take Bai Shuo away. Bai Shuo was filled with grief and indignation, so he pulled out his hairpin and stabbed him in the chest. At this moment, Chong Zhao came to take Bai Shuo away, but Bai Shuo finally chose to leave with Fan Yue, and she was unwilling to accept Fan Yue's help. Fan Yue bluntly said that in his eyes she was just a container of the Wu Nian Stone.
