Wu 巫; Easter Eggs from #WUTheSeriesEP5

Omfg I love love love today's episode. Still can't believe EP 5 is over!

千里繫魂 (Qiān Lǐ Jì Hún) : Connecting Souls through thousand miles Niran was prepping the dolls for the soul-binding ritual for the couple in EP3.

Jumping all the way to the part they started strategizing the best auspicious time for the ritual Each hour does not only have a zodiac representation, but also an element representation; There are 5 elements; which can clash or act together to produce another element. Nourishing: Wood -> Fire -> Earth -> Metal -> Water Clashing: Water -> Fire -> Metal -> Wood -> Earth Water vs. Fire: Water extinguishes Fire. Fire vs. Metal: Fire melts Metal. Metal vs. Wood: Metal chops/dulls Wood. Wood vs. Earth: Wood drains/parts Earth. Earth vs. Water: Earth muddies/blocks Water. In this case, Fire will turn Metal and create Water. (Think of it as melting metal into liquid)

First Auspicious Hour Master Tong gave was: Month of Dog, Day of Cow/Ox, Hour of Dragon ->Earth + Earth + Earth = very grounding and blocks water. However, since Qi Rong is of Metal element, not Water element Second Auspicious timing Master Tong gave: Month of Dog, Day of Snake, Hour of Horse ->Earth + Fire + Fire = Fire melts metal to create water, earth blocks water.

Onward to the ritual! As mentioned previously: 祭 (Jì) - Sacrificial offerings for Qi Rong The writing here isn't correct, but for superstition's sake, I'm kinda glad they didn't write correctly, just in case.

Niran gave Pete his Jade Necklace!!! \\(T~T) 平安扣 (Píng Ān Kòu): A Jade Pendant Buckle that gives protection and peace; Symbolizes "locking in safety," bringing good fortune, and warding off evil spirits or bad energy.

奇戎鎮位 - Plaque to subdue Qi Rong

Here you'll see Jiahao and Fei using Mirrors - Mirrors is an occurring element in the show, but please notice here its not just ANY mirror, but a mirror with 8 sides - I can't tell if it is a bagua mirror or not. Mirrors are often used as a powerful ritual object to reflect cosmic order, dispel dark energy and expose the true forms of spirits and demons Bagua Mirror's primary purpose is to protect a home or business by deflecting, absorbing, or neutralizing negative energy

You'll see here when "Pete" is approaching the 3 kiddos, Pete isnt wearing the Jade necklace? It is Qi Rong using mind manipulation to trick them

You'll see real Pete here wearing the Jade Necklace while trying to find their way back to each other.

Omg Master Tong if he is all mighty and powerful - how can Qi Rong manipulate him further into his confidence of his craft :<

Niran and the yao that he faced/talked about during the show so far Silver Yao on the left: mentioned in EP 4 - Yao at the Factory Red Yao in the middle: in EP 2 - Yao at the Casino Blue Yao on the right: in EP 1 - Yao at the Old Man's Mansion

and poof to the butterfly: which reminds us of spirits and his grandpa

and here he faces Qi Rong in the eternal mirror set up

**EDIT for addition**

Translation of chant at the start of ritual

求老天 (Qíu Lǎo Tiān) May the heavens

賜我力量 (Cì Wǒ Lì Liàng) Give me with strength

逆我者亡 (Nì Wǒ Zhě Wáng) May those that are against me meet their de4th

盡傷鬼卒 (Jìn Shāng Gǔi Zú) Injure all ghost soldiers

During the summoning ritual of Qi Rong:

威名遠揚的戰神爺 (Renowned Great Warrior Lord!) 請接受這份以鮮血與靈魂奉上的祭品 (Please accept this sacrificial goods of fresh blood and soul) 請降臨於這穩固的王座之上 (Please descend upon this secure throne) 奇戎 (Qi Rong) 速速降臨 (Descend swiftly) x2 奇戎 (Qi Rong) 速速現身 (Appear swiftly) x2 來享用貢品吧 (come and enjoy the offerings) 急急如律令 (this you must obey)

Can't wait for next episode! I can't believe we are already at the mid point for Wu. \\(T~T) It's been a crazy episode! I loved EVERYTHING. How do I turn back time to rewatch it again as if its my first time, and how do I turn the clock forward 6 days for the next episode?! They need to stop ending the episode in the middle of ritual!! \\(T~T)

Fellas is it gay to bind your soul with your buddy to protect him from being consumed by a six eared demon

"It's just not something people do. Because you and Niran will have to share the same fate here on out. Be that good or bad, the two of you can no longer be separated from each other till death do you part." -- Fei (Episode 5)

So I need a talisman on me every time I sleep? Niran sorted that out with something else. A soul binding ritual? When two souls are bound, half of a person’s spiritual energy will flow into the other. Niran’s spiritual energy is suppressing the demon that nearly devoured you, and it will protect you from now on. Is that a good thing? I guess it is. It’s just not something people do. Because you and Niran will have to share the same fate from here on out. Be that good or bad, the two of you can no longer be separated from each other till death do you part.

I can tell just from the look in your eyes that you would never hurt me. You trust people too easily. Not just anyone.

its always been evident in the previous episodes that even though niran seemed to be grumpy and annoyed around pete who yaps a lot, niran was already protective of pete. and that sense of protectiveness that he has for pete was only deepened by the soul binding ritual.

the way niran had reassured pete that they will get through the ritual of sealing the qi rong was so gentle and pure that i dont even think its the doing of the soul binding ritual. it was niran's truest feelings in that moment and pete certainly felt that too. he trusts niran with all his life.

i feel like sobbing.
