A Moment but Forever Episode 2

The end is near, despair haunts.

The enemy says, I have come to destroy you, Yuan Zhong. I will return. This is just the beginning. Indeed, Yuan Zhong has many enemies. Tan Yin uses her spy artifact, puts Yuan Zhong under hypnosis and explains to him who she is and what she has to do with him. But when She notices the power-restricting collar around Yuan Zhong's neck, she gives up at that moment.The elders of the fox tribe are very frivolous. They are gathered in their silly conversations, plotting their next steps. Tan Yin ascends in spirit form to Hannu in the spiritual dimension and questions her about whether Yuan Zhong really is what they say (cruel and inhuman), since she has begun to doubt it. Hannu says that a weak person cannot necessarily be bad. Tan Yin acquiesces but says that she will investigate.Yuan Zhong is walking on the mountain, he meets Tan Yin and saves her from a green snake. He suddenly feels dizzy. Tan Yin helps him sit on the rock. He explains that he was poisoned, but that he is an immortal, and it cannot kill him.Tang Hua, the young general of the fox tribe, talks to the council of elders about the strange phenomenon that is happening (people being poisoned and turning into cruel zombies). The council of elders explains that this technique only exists in the clan of war ghosts (but they no longer exist in this world). The elders say that no one could scare Yuan Zhong and no one in the world knows war ghosts better than Yuan Zhong. They ask Yuan Zhong to come forward.Tan Yin gives Yuan Zhong a lame excuse about a dog on the mountain, which made her come to that place (Yuan Zhong finds this strange since she is a maid).Tan Yin opens her magic bag (full of trinkets) and finds an ointment to treat Yuan Zhong's poisoning.Yuan Zhong asks his assistant to investigate Tan Yin. (Is she a spy for the human race or for the ghosts of war?). Instructor Zidha, with her cold expression, explains to the maids about a selection to serve the priest Yuan Zhong (it requires great artistic skills). Zhidhai sees the young general Tang Hua pass by and she remembers the past when she saved him from death, but he seemed not to notice her.Yuan Zhong arrives at the council of elders' room, and in his soft and arrogant speech, he tells the elders that the beautiful maid has come to look for him (the beauty). And that the elder is getting old, he does not know about these problems of Yuan Zhong. Tan Yin uses magical powers and helps her in another dimension to pass the artistic tests in the selection of Yuan Zhong's maid. Yuan Zhong observes Tan Yin's performance in all the tests. In the end, Tan Yin shows her best skill, that of a craftswoman. She manages to break the lock of the restraining bracelet on her arm. And then, she says that she is able to free Yuan Zhong from the golden collar around his neck. Yuan Zhong accepts (everyone says it's impossible). Tan Yin tries, but fails and even causes a wound around Yuan Zhong's neck. But she is still chosen by him to be his personal maid. And he doesn't let them punish Tan Yin.And Yuan Zhong says that this collar for him is a ladder to greatness and success. One of the soldiers of the fox clan tries in front of everyone to assassinate Yuan Zhong. Tan Yin throws herself in front of him, but Yuan Zhong's aide arrives first and plunges his sword into the back of Yuan Zhong's enemy. Tan Hua is saddened because he was a friend. But Yuan Zhong's aide says that he could not allow them to hurt the priest Yuan Zhong. Tan Yin, already at home, asks Yuan Zhong if he is sad about the possession he witnessed on General Chizi today. Yuan Zhong asks if she knows the possession technique? She says she knows that it is something from the ghosts of war. Instructor Zidhai talks to an acquaintance about the need to find a way to unlock the restraining bracelet on her own arm. This acquaintance tells her that there is someone who can help her. “The end is approaching, despair haunts,” mentions Elder Ding Yuxi (this was the phrase repeated by the mind-possessed man who tried to kill Yuan Zhong that day). The elders argue among themselves, saying that it is impossible for the ghosts of war to have returned. They know that this is one of the mottos of the ghosts of war. “The end is approaching, despair haunts.” One of the elders is frightened and insists that the ghosts of war may have returned. Although the others say that the ghosts of war were eliminated in the battle of PingXu years ago. One of the elders mentions eliminating the priest. Elder DingXu angrily rebukes him, not accepting the proposal. No one is allowed to disturb Yuan Zhong’s cultivation until they find out the truth. They will investigate. Tan Yin meets another priest who lives on one of the mountains. He is drunk. She uses a spell and asks him about a war in the past, what does he know about it. Why Yuan Zhong, a hero of their people who saved them from a tragedy, is treated in such a humiliating way. Then, Tan Yin sees in his mind, the moment when Yuan Zhong received the collar for the first time, he was convinced by Elder DingXi and other elders that this collar would make Yuan Zhong a god, crossing the path of immortality through earthly sacrifice (but in the elders' thoughts, they said: Yuan Zhong does not really know that the bridge between dimensions was destroyed and it is not possible to ascend to immortality. ). Tan Yin questions about this, irritated, because she knows that this is impossible, the bridge was destroyed. The hypnotized man says: but Yuan Zhong does not know that. The elders in the past, praised Yuan Zhong for his deeds in the war freeing the fox clan and said that he would have a chance to ascend to immortality. He accepts and they put the collar of another power restrictor on him. Elder DingXi in the past tells Yuan Zhong that he has to resolve the 5 deadly sins in his heart to ascend to immortality (1-hypocrisy, 2-obsession, 3-ignorance, 4-jealousy, 5-cruelty). In this way, Yuan Zhong would be free from worldly desires. All evil in the world stems from these sins and Yuan Zhong is no exception. He has to go through the trials of the mortal world, sealed with the collar that suppresses the power of the divine hand to ascend to immortality. Tan Yin questions the hypnotized man, that this is a cruelty that they are doing to Yuan Zhong, deceiving him. She angrily and indignantly asks why they are treating their great and heroic high priest Yuan Zhong like this.
