Adventurer Story Episodes
A Human Sealer
Wu Kong: Waaaaah hoooo!
Wu Kong: YEEEEE HAAAAW!
Wu Kong: Oh, yeah! Long time no see, Halidom! I've always loved this place—the chi is just so clear and tranquil!
Luca: It's great to see how Wu Kong has been spreadin' his wings lately!
Cleo: Is it truly all right for him to be wielding such power so soon after neutralizing the Jin Gu Er?
Radiant Xuan Zang: It is not his power I worry about, but the judgment of its use...
Radiant Xuan Zang: Wu Kong! Soaring about the sky on the Jindou Yun while screaming like a madman is not the way to endear yourself to others!
Wu Kong: Aw, c'mon, master! It's no big deal! I mean, look how well I can control this thing now!
Radiant Xuan Zang: Honestly, Wu Kong... Just when I think you have learned from the Jin Gu Er incident, you prove yourself every bit a child.
Yulong: I am returned, Xuan Zang. Our annual communication with the various sealer territories has been completed without incident.
Radiant Xuan Zang: Welcome back, Yulong. Do you bring any news from our sealer brethren?
Yulong: Yes, a great sealer of western Taiwu entrusted me with a written message.
???: LOOK OUT BELOOOOW!
Yulong: Ooof!
Wu Kong: Dang it! Why does this ALWAYS happen?!
Yulong: I see you are as ill-behaved as ever, child.
Wu Kong: Heh heh! Yeah, maybe. Anyhoo, you said you have a message from a great sealer?
Yulong: Remove your dirty paws from that letter! It is addressed to Xuan Zang alone!
Wu Kong: Aw, it's fine! I'm just gonna take a liiiiittle peeeeek...
Wu Kong: "I am not alone in my amazement that a novice was able to handle the Jin Gu Er. Indeed, others in the sealer village also hold Wu Kong's actions in great esteem."
Wu Kong: Wait, great esteem? ME?!
Wu Kong: Aaaah ha ha ha! It's about time they all realized how great I am!
Wu Kong: I KNEW I was a natural genius— and now it's only a matter of time before I become a great sealer, too!
???: Ooooh?
Wu Kong: ACK!
Xuan Zang: I have told you countless times not to read messages intended for others, Wu Kong. And for such disobedience, I believe a harsh punishment is in order.
Wu Kong: W-wait, hold on, master! Let's just stop and think about this for a...
Wu Kong: EEEYAAAAARGH!
Ranzal: Wu Kong might be a full-fledged sealer, but he's still dumb as a sack'a hammers.
Luca: Right? Hard to believe a rookie like him is gettin' praise from an actual great sealer.
Cleo: That "rookie" you are so quick to dismiss is the first human sealer in all history, and was also able to handle one of the most powerful Qilin relics: the Jin Gu Er.
Cleo: Is it truly so surprising that he would be a topic of discussion amongst the Qilin?
Ranzal: No one doubts the kid's talent, Cleo, but he acts like a damn fool most'a the time! Maybe all them great sealers just don't know what he's REALLY like.
Wu Kong: Uwaaaaaaargh! I'M SOOOOOORRRRYYY!
Wu Kong: Ugh. She didn't have to get THAT angry...
Luca: Aw, cheer up, chum! ...And maybe don't go snoopin' into other folks' private letters next time, yeah?
Wu Kong: Fiiiine! Fine. I won't do it again.
Wu Kong: ...Huh?
Luca: What's up?
Wu Kong: Over there...
Wu Kong: It's Fa Ming!
Luca: You mean that old Qilin guy? What's his deal?
Wu Kong: He is the master of my master, and one of the most powerful great sealers in the entire world.
Luca: Guy sounds like a pretty big cheese! So what's he doin' in the Halidom?
Wu Kong: It looks like he's talking to my master. Possibly about...
Radiant Xuan Zang: ...As I stated, this situation is different. In truth, I was the one who recommended that Wu Kong deal with the Jin Gu Er.
Radiant Xuan Zang: Any rumors that the boy acted recklessly and of his own accord are false.
Fa Ming: Xuan Zang, I do not speak to you exclusively regarding this incident with the Jin Gu Er.
Fa Ming: The Qilin relics are the responsibility and legacy of our tribe alone; a human could never understand such a burden.
Radiant Xuan Zang: You may well be right, master. And yet...
Luca: Sounds like they're arguing about that Jin Gu Er thing.
Wu Kong: Specifically the incident where I used reckless means to take care of it...
Wu Kong: Eh, he probably just felt like griping. Old men do that all the time.
Wu Kong: And he's a bigger pain than most...
Luca: You don't like the guy?
Wu Kong: HE doesn't like ME.
Wu Kong: Some of the especially rigid Qilin tribe folks don't care for the idea of a human like me being an actual sealer.
Wu Kong: No matter how diligently I train, or how many relics I seal away, it doesn't matter.
Wu Kong: The old farts just keep saying that Qilin relics are Qilin problems, and we humans should butt out.
Wu Kong: It's been that way even since my master took me on as a pupil.
Luca: Sounds like a real pain.
Wu Kong: Eh, it's not so bad. I mean, I hate that my master has to get an earful about it, but it just makes me all the more determined to prove 'em wrong.
Wu Kong: And in order to do that...
Wu Kong: Whoa!
Wu Kong: *wheeze* *pant*
Wu Kong: Hyah!
Radiant Xuan Zang: Er, don't you think you might be overdoing it a bit, Wu Kong? The credo "all things in moderation" includes training, you know.
Wu Kong: It's fine, master. I've gotta work harder!
Radiant Xuan Zang: What in the world has gotten into you? You've never been so eager to train.
Wu Kong: (That stupid old man... I'm gonna become an amazing great sealer and MAKE him acknowledge how awesome I am!)
Qilin Resolve
Wu Kong: O power universal, hear my decree... Essence of speed, winds of flight...
Wu Kong: (Okay, nice! Today I'll try adding more incantations to increase its power.)
Wu Kong: Path of heaven, road of clouds... And clouds of heaven... And, and...sky of clouds!
Xuan Zang: Wu Kong! If you chant that much, the relic's power will grow too great!
Wu Kong: Graaaagh!
Wu Kong: Ooof.
Xuan Zang: *sigh* How many times must I tell you that chants need to be limited to correspond with your own abilities?
Wu Kong: Darn it...
Yulong: Xuan Zang!
Xuan Zang: What is it, Yulong? Why the hurry?
Yulong: Master Fa Ming has taken charge of the Ling Xuan Dan.
Xuan Zang: He has?!
Wu Kong: He did the what now?
Xuan Zang: We've not a moment to lose. Come with me, Wu Kong.
Wu Kong: Okay!
Xuan Zang: Master! Are you all right?!
Fa Ming: Nnngh... Xuan Zang...
Xuan Zang: I've heard tell of this miasma!
Wu Kong: Looks like it's coming from that jewel he's holding. Lemme just grab tha—
Xuan Zang: Keep your distance, Wu Kong!
Wu Kong: Huh? Why?
Xuan Zang: That jewel is the Ling Xuan Dan—a terribly dangerous relic that exudes a most fearsome miasma.
Xuan Zang: Coming into contact with it brings about unimaginable pain. Some even perish from the agony of it.
Wu Kong: But it's got your master!
Wu Kong: We need to take it from him now!
Fa Ming: YOU MUSTN'T!
Wu Kong: You'll DIE if we don't!
Fa Ming: It may be so—but it is a choice I make with open eyes.
Wu Kong: Huh?
Xuan Zang: Master, I cannot believe you've taken up the duty of keeping the Ling Xuan Dan under control...
Wu Kong: Duty? What are you talking about?
Xuan Zang: Even when sealed, the Ling Xuan Dan's miasma never subsides; it continues to blanket all around it in a fog of death.
Xuan Zang: The only way to stave this off is for a great sealer to control the relic and suppress the miasma.
Xuan Zang: To that end, great sealers from each era have looked after the relic in secret, taking the miasma into their bodies and quelling its power.
Wu Kong: B-but that means Fa Ming...
Xuan Zang: Yes. He will spend hundreds of years enduring a pain without end.
Wu Kong: Okay, that's insane. There HAS to be a way to just stop this poison mist crap!
Xuan Zang: Qilin legends do speak of one possible way...
Xuan Zang: If we were in possession of this relic's opposite—the Su Jindan—we could perhaps neutralize the miasma.
Wu Kong: Fine then! We go get that relic and—
Xuan Zang: Alas, the Su Jindan's location has been lost to the ravages of time.
Xuan Zang: Many sealers over the years have searched for it, but none have been successful.
Xuan Zang: Right now, our only option is for a great sealer to use their own life force to constrain the relic's power.
Wu Kong: That's... No!
Fa Ming: Hmph. Now do you see, boy? This is our resolve as Qilin!
Fa Ming: We chose to continue shouldering the burden of the dark legacy we have inherited from our ancestors.
Fa Ming: You do not have such resolve, boy— you could not even ATTEMPT to have it!
Fa Ming: You are a mere human with no relation whatsoever to the history of our tribe.
Wu Kong: !
Xuan Zang: This is hardly the time to bring up such sensitive matters, master.
Wu Kong: No. He's right. I don't have that kind of resolve...
Wu Kong: Because I REFUSE to have it!
Xuan Zang: What are you saying?!
Wu Kong: Just the truth. We can go around and around on this point forever, but I'm never going to be a Qilin.
Wu Kong: No matter how much I train, I'll never truly understand the weight your tribe has taken on its shoulders.
Wu Kong: But I AM a sealer, and that means I find and neutralize ancient relics.
Wu Kong: And since that's got nothing to do with whether I'm Qilin or human, I'm gonna go out there and find the Su Jindan!
Wu Kong: Then your master will be free!
Xuan Zang: Wu Kung, wait! ...Heavens, but that boy is just SO terribly reckless sometimes.
Fa Ming: Save your worry—he'll give up and come crawling back before the day is out.
Xuan Zang: Wu Kong...
Wu Kong: That old goat thinks he's a real hot potato, but all he's doing is getting himself killed!
Wu Kong: Just you watch! I can't wait to see your face when I show up with the Su Jindan!
Seeking the Su Jindan
Wu Kong: *pant* *wheeze* According to the info I got my hands on, the Su Jindan is somewhere in this mountain range...
Wu Kong: Too bad this place is FREAKIN' HUGE! Where the heck IS this stupid relic?!
Yulong: *sigh* Did you truly believe you would randomly stumble upon a fated hidden relic if you simply nosed about?
Wu Kong: No one invited you, Yulong! ...Uh oh. Did my master tell you to come here and bring me back?
Yulong: The opposite, in fact: Xuan Zang ordered me to assist you in your search.
Yulong: She is presently occupied performing a duty in Master Fa Ming's place, and so cannot lend aid in the matter herself.
Yulong: Thus, she sent me to keep watch. She is...terribly worried about you.
Wu Kong: Oh man. If I'm making her sweat, I've REALLY gotta hurry up and find this thing. Anyway, thanks for the help.
Yulong: Indeed, I hope my ability to sense the presence of Qilin relics will prove useful.
Wu Kong: Hey, so while we're looking, how about you let me ride on your back? I've been hoofin' it for days now, and I'm beat.
Yulong: Xuan Zang's command was to ascertain the Su Jindan's whereabouts—she said nothing about allowing foolish boys to ride me like a common mule.
Wu Kong: Yeah, but SHE always gets to ride around on your back!
Yulong: But of course! It is my supreme pleasure and delight to bear Xuan Zang across the skies!
Wu Kong: Uh, you say some weird stuff sometimes. You know that, right?
Wu Kong: *sigh* We've been going around these mountains for three days, and still no sign of the relic.
Yulong: It is strange. I have patrolled from the peaks of the mountains to the deepest valley depths, and yet sense nothing.
Wu Kong: Say, what about that mountain waaaay over there? You haven't looked at that one yet, have you?
Yulong: *sigh* Why do I feel like you became a sealer without knowing one whit of your chosen profession's history?
Yulong: That is a cursed mountain of impurities, a site that has been taboo since the era of the ancient Qilin.
Yulong: No sealer would dare set foot there.
Wu Kong: Which means no one has ever checked it out before, right?! Riiiiiight?
Yulong: Wu Kong, you cannot mean to... No, boy! Wait!
Yulong: Do you truly mean to enter this place?
Wu Kong: Yep! I mean, yeah, I'm sure I'll get a lecture about it or whatever, but if the Su Jindan could be here, I have to look.
Yulong: Hold!
Yulong: This mist... This presence...
Yulong: Take care, Wu Kong! This mist... ...people's...dangerous...
Wu Kong: Did you say something, Yulong? ...Huh? Yulong?
Wu Kong: He's gone! Did he go back because he didn't want to get scolded? Sheesh, talk about your obedient little lapdogs...
Wu Kong: Welp, nothing to do about it now. Looks like I'm searching on my own.
Wu Kong: (Just wait, old man—I WILL save you!)
Wu Kong: (And then I'll MAKE you acknowledge me!)
Wu Kong: *cough* The mist's getting thicker... I can't see two feet in front of me... And I'm getting...kinda tired...
Wu Kong: Nnnngh...
Qilin Youth: Are you awake, human child?
Wu Kong: Huh...? Did I pass out? Where am I?
Qilin Youth: You did—and only by the luckiest thread do you still cling to the mortal coil.
Wu Kong: But hey, what are you even DOING here? I thought Qilin all avoided this place.
Qilin Youth: I've no choice but to hide myself away in a place none will ever dare enter.
Wu Kong: Oh? Why's that?
Qilin Youth: Enough. I know not your circumstances, but you must make from this place with all haste.
Qilin Youth: Else you will be swallowed by the mist released by the Su Jindan.
Wu Kong: Wait, THAT jewel is the Su Jindan?!
Qilin Youth: You know of this relic?
Wu Kong: Funny story. See...
Qilin Youth: ...Mmm. So in order to save the life of a great sealer, you need this relic?
Wu Kong: Yeah, so I don't know all the details, but apparently great sealers have been risking their lives for hundreds of years to keep the Ling Xuan Dan in check.
Wu Kong: But it'd all be fine if we had the Su Jindan, so maybe I can just...borrow it?
Qilin Youth: I would be happy to lend it to you. And based on what you have told me, it seems this method might also serve to nullify the power of THIS relic as well.
Wu Kong: Wait, huh? I'm not sure I follow.
Qilin Youth: It's likely that the Ling Xuan Dan's yin chi and the Su Jindan's yang chi will mutually nullify each other.
Qilin Youth: So if the two were to be brought together, there is a high possibility of BOTH loathsome mists being eradicated.
Wu Kong: You're talking about this mist that's around us right now, right?
Qilin Youth: Yes, and it is a most bothersome thing. Spending an extended period in its presence will cause one's essence to be absorbed into the Su Jindan.
Qilin Youth: Its victims live on as part of the mist, cursed with a sort of sham immortality.
Wu Kong: Well, THAT sounds freaky! How'd you end up in charge of this little beauty?
Qilin Youth: When I was a journeying sealer, I found the relic about to run wild near a human village.
Qilin Youth: I could not let this happen, and so took up the relic at once, and ended up trapped within its terrible thrall.
Qilin Youth: Once this happened, I knew I had to find a place where I could exist in solitude so as not to threaten the lives of others.
Qilin Youth: How long has it been? A century? More? Time no longer has meaning for me.
Qilin Youth: All I know is that my very existence is now tied to the Su Jindan.
Wu Kong: So you've been alone here for all that time just to keep this thing contained?
Qilin Youth: Like you, I am a sealer; duty demanded that I do what was necessary.
Qilin Youth: But now, having heard of the existence of this Ling Xuan Dan, that burden has been removed from my mind.
Qilin Youth: I will entrust my relic to you; I have faith you will do what is right.
Wu Kong: Er, but we just met.
Qilin Youth: Is that a problem?
Wu Kong: Of course not! I'll fulfill my sealer duty.
Wu Kong: But listen. I'm a human, right? So I don't really "get" this resolve you Qilin have to take responsibility for your ancestors' actions.
Qilin Youth: Though you may not grasp it fully, you have taken it on nonetheless.
Wu Kong: I have?
Qilin Youth: Yes. Whatever may happen, you will save the sealer called Fa Ming. That is the resolve that guides you to act now.
Qilin Youth: I know this because you have not fled this place even knowing the fearsome power that resides here.
Wu Kong: Okay, yeah. I think I understand now— and you can absolutely count on me!
Qilin Youth: Be swift, Wu Kong. Bring the Su Jindan to its opposite before the mist fells you.
Wu Kong: Er, aren't you coming?
Qilin Youth: As I said, my handling of the relic did no more than grant me a false survival.
Qilin Youth: Without its power, dissolution awaits me. Or perhaps I should say...release.
Qilin Youth: Please, human sealer. Do this for me.
Wu Kong: W-wait!
Wu Kong: He's gone...
Yulong: THERE you are, you fool child!
Wu Kong: Hey, Yulong.
Yulong: Th-that relic! Wu Kong, it is...?
Wu Kong: Yeah, I found it. Er, or I was entrusted with it, I guess.
Yulong: What happened in there?
Wu Kong: I'll explain on the way. Let's go!
Acting with Conviction
Wu Kong: *pant* *pant* I finally...made it down to the mountain path...
Yulong: Wu Kong, is this not quite reckless? For a novice sealer to try and control a relic of the Su Jindan's standing...
Wu Kong: Aw, it's fine! Even a newbie like me oughta be able to keep it under control long enough to reach old man Fa Ming.
Wu Kong: Urk! Oooo...
Yulong: *sigh* It seems there is no other option. Climb up on my back.
Wu Kong: No can do. I'm holding the Su Jindan, remember? It'd be dangerous even for a dragon like you to get too close to me.
Yulong: Just get up there already—for Xuan Zang's sake, as well as your own.
Wu Kong: Heh. Thanks, buddy.
Yulong: Your thanks are not necessary. And now, we are away!
Wu Kong: Urk!
Wu Kong: Ngh... *wheeze*
Yulong: Wu Kong! Are you well?
Wu Kong: S-sorry... I'm losin' strength and can't really hold on...
Wu Kong: Darn it! This stupid Su Jindan is makin' me all kinds of drowsy.
Yulong: You mustn't fall asleep; if you are consumed by its power, you will be trapped in its spell of false immortality.
Wu Kong: Yeah, I know that!
Yulong: Endure, Wu Kong. If you can get this relic back, there is no doubt that Fa Ming will accept you as a sealer for true.
Yulong: Do you not wish to get the better of the Qilin who denied you so?
Wu Kong: Of course I do! And besides...
Wu Kong: I just plain want to save him.
Yulong: Oh? I thought you disliked him.
Wu Kong: He's the one who don't like ME! For me, it's more like...
Wu Kong: Well, I just think he's really cool. He's a great sealer, he's powerful, and I want to be like him.
Wu Kong: But then he gets all, "You're not a Qilin, you'll never understand, blah blah blah," and there's nothing I can say.
Yulong: History and race are great barriers to overcome for certain.
Yulong: Greater still when we discuss the Qilin, whose role in leading their civilization to ruin due to their own depravity still echoes forth today.
Wu Kong: Yeah, but no matter how hard I work, I can never become one of them.
Wu Kong: And no matter how hard I try to understand their experience, there's always going to be some part of it that's a mystery.
Wu Kong: But that's exactly what makes me want to reject the Qilin way of living.
Wu Kong: They don't NEED to go so far in taking responsibility for their past—there has to be some other way.
Wu Kong: So if I walk along outside the wall long enough...then someday...
Wu Kong: Someday there could be a future... where the Qilin don't condemn themselves and...and they don't...
Yulong: Open your eyes, boy! You mustn't fall asleep!
Wu Kong: I know...but I can't...control...
Yulong: Hold strong, Wu Kong!
???: Yulong!
Yulong: Xuan Zang!
Xuan Zang: I had no idea the Su Jindan's power was as dangerous as the Ling Xuan Dan's.
Xuan Zang: Your return was late, so I came back to check on your progress.
Xuan Zang: So this is the Su Jindan, is it? If I could hold back its power, even for a short time...
Xuan Zang: ...Whew! There. It shouldn't trouble us for a little while. Let us hurry back to my master and make him whole.
Yulong: I will carry you on my back, Xuan Zang.
Xuan Zang: And I will hold onto Wu Kong.
Wu Kong: Nnnmh...master... Zzz...
Xuan Zang: You are hopelessly reckless, Wu Kong...
Xuan Zang: And yet, you did well.
Trailblazer
???: So he hasn't opened his eyes once in the days since then?
???: Correct. It seems he had too much contact with the mist of the Su Jindan.
???: The boy was reckless beyond belief to bear the Su Jindan at his experience.
Wu Kong: Nnngh...
Wu Kong: Huh? Wh-where...?
Xuan Zang: You're awake at last, Wu Kong.
Wu Kong: Master... Wait, where's the Su Jindan?!
Xuan Zang: I took the liberty of neutralizing both of the relics myself.
Wu Kong: And Fa Ming? Is he all right?
Xuan Zang: Yes, he's right here.
Fa Ming: ......
Wu Kong: You're really okay?
Fa Ming: Can you not tell by looking at me, boy? I am both hale and hearty.
Wu Kong: Oh, I'm so relieved!
Fa Ming: Ahem! Yes, well, I offer you my thanks. And I now understand your resolve.
Wu Kong: Huh?
Fa Ming: Don't misunderstand. I haven't accepted you as having the resolve of a sealer. But...
Fa Ming: You saved me—and more than that, you saved all the Qilin who would have become victims of the miasma at some point in the future.
Wu Kong: Wait... Are you PRAISING me?
Fa Ming: Don't get carried away! Trespassing upon our sacred mountain is not a deed to be so easily forgiven.
Wu Kong: Urk!
Fa Ming: Furthermore, overestimating your own strength and attempting to control the Su Jindan is the height of imprudence.
Wu Kong: Nnngh...
Fa Ming: A careless person like you could never understand the resolve of the Qilin tribe to discipline and restrain ourselves.
Wu Kong: Okay, sure. I get that. But...
Fa Ming: Silence! Your actions show that you are yet immature as a sealer. So although you did achieve some success this day, I cannot officially praise your actions too highly.
Fa Ming: Which is why...
Fa Ming: I acknowledge you have your own particular manner of resolve.
Fa Ming: And that this resolve enabled you to take reckless action in an attempt to save me.
Wu Kong: Whaaaa?
Fa Ming: Close your slackened jaw, boy. I have nothing further to say.
Wu Kong: ...Heh. Guess I'll have to settle for that for now.
Wu Kong: But I WILL get you to accept me as a true sealer one day!
Fa Ming: Don't get full of yourself. My opinion remains that you should give up on being a sealer.
Wu Kong: Rrrr... You hard-headed old coot!
Wu Kong: Oh...
Wu Kong: Ha ha! After all that sleep, my stomach is GRUMBLY!
Xuan Zang: I believe Cleo has prepared some food for you.
Wu Kong: Now you're talkin'!
Fa Ming: We great sealers have operated under particular beliefs for a very long time...
Fa Ming: As such, we neglected to make a true effort to locate the Su Jindan.
Xuan Zang: I likely would have done the same were I in your position.
Xuan Zang: For we have always existed in a cloistered world where we do naught but practice restraint and discipline.
Fa Ming: Indeed, the history of our people is suffused with such—thus is it a tenet of our race that we risk our lives.
Fa Ming: It is not a matter of whether a human child would be capable of bearing such a responsibility, but rather that we should never be placing it upon them at all.
Fa Ming: But these events have shown me that Wu Kong is not only uninterested in having such a responsibility, he wishes to prevent us from having to carry it anymore as well.
Fa Ming: I suspect that is precisely why he was able to locate the Su Jindan.
Fa Ming: And so this, too, becomes another piece of our history. ...Heh.
Xuan Zang: Oh ho ho! It does indeed, master.
Xuan Zang: It is because he did not take on the burden of our history that he was able to find his path in this matter.

Xuan Zang: That is what I believe.
