Coz no one else seems to have googled it yet: Yaoguai…
Yaoguai is a Chinese term that generally means “demon”. Yaoguai are mostly malevolent animal spirits or fallen celestial beings that have acquired magical powers through the practice of Taoism. The evil ones are usually referred to as guร i (literally, “freak”) or mรณ (literally, “demon”) in Chinese. Their greatest goal is achieving immortality and thus deification. In Journey to the West, the demons seek this mostly by the abduction and consumption of a holy man (in this case, Xuanzang).

As for Belle and Mulan teaming up, it must take place between Belle leaving the dark castle and being captured by Regina. Perhaps after Belle’s scene in Dreamy.
Yeah it’d have to be. Belle’s always wanted adventure, and after having her heart broken by Rumple she probably figured she had nothing to lose, so she may as well run off after a dangerous beast. What interests me about this is where exactly it’ll happen. Mulan and the Yaoguai are both Chinese, so was there a Chinatown area of FTL, or did they both come from some other land through a portal, (one of the hat doors looked kinda Asian, from memory)?
Also, how do these events lead into Belle being captured by Regina? Wonder if we’ll see that in this ep too?
Also, this gives Mulan a history with a SB resident, (other than Snow and Emma), and I wonder if they’re setting that up because they plan for Mulan to end up in SB eventually and it’ll be easier to fit her in if she and Belle remember each other?

And poor Smee. He’s going to be Mr. Gold’s new guinea pig isn’t he? GOOD! He deserves it for kidnapping Belle.
Smee would be a logical candidate just because we know Rumple already had him prisoner. What ep were the pics of Smee and Hook from though? Coz that suggests that he escapes Rumple’s basement at some point.
don’t we have pictures of smee walking out and about in sotyrbrook? I don’t think gold kept him prisoner for that long.
thats the thing. so far, we only heard mulan brag about how much of a great warrior but she is she never demonstrated it.
Philip was able to walk by her, take a horse and leave in forest without her noticing it (horses are not the most quiet of creatures) and when the wraith was taking philip’s soul away all mulan did was stood next to Aurora as they both bawled in sync.
Maybe we’ll finally get to see a glimpse of the great warrior.

I'm kind of interested in what the counter argument is going to be now, since so many people seem to hate the thought of Neal being Bae. I've loved the theory since last spring and have been ready to call it a reality…but what will haters say?
Oh, pooh!pooh! on the haters! ๐ I think the only ones who aren’t thrilled about this are the younger Hook fans. Understandably, as they are crushing on a handsome young fellow. However, those of us that have been waiting for this since last winter/spring can jump up and down for joy! Finally, we delve into what happened to Bae!
I wonder if Gold was able to leave due to Emma’s magic protecting him from all memory loss?
Anyhoo, can’t wait!!!!! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
I read somewhere on this site that it might actually be related to henry. He is special and was unaffected by the curse. I have a hard time picturing Emma bringing Him in a potentially dangerous situation without a good reason.
