1
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,950
OCTOBER OF THE 3rd YEAR OF DAYE,
WESTERN REGIONS

2
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:27,580
Dao Ma,

3
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:30,120
when are we going to stop
to rest?

4
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,200
I'm tired.

5
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,200
We took a break an hour ago.

6
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:35,200
Eh ?

7
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,000
Do you call that rest?
Drink some water and eat something?

8
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:42,580
That's not it at all!

9
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:44,200
Of course it is.

10
00:00:44,830 --> 00:00:47,040
I don't agree.

11
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:50,200
I imagine more of a comfortable camp.

12
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:53,750
Sheltered and with walls for the wind.

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,500
And we could enjoy ourselves
with a good bowl of soup.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200
To continue with a nice hot bath.

15
00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:03,700
To finally go to bed
under a beautiful cover.

16
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:07,580
Drinking isn't a bad way to relax.

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,540
That's rest!

18
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:12,120
It's not for us.
You are completely dreaming.

19
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:15,160
Currently,
I am a walking bounty.

20
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:16,580
I know it well.

21
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:19,830
We die for money,
and birds to eat.

22
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:23,950
People want your head
for 50,000 coins.

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,580
If you knew,
so why choose me?

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,160
Because I need an escort

25
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:33,250
competent
and who has field experience.

26
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:36,620
Someone who knows how to be discreet
and leave no trace.

27
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:43,200
And most importantly,
someone who won't betray me.

28
00:01:43,540 --> 00:01:46,330
So you recognize my talent?

29
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:47,580
Obviously !

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,790
I have always admired you.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Dao Ma, you have something...

32
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:53,620
Okay, then shut up!

33
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:56,910
You rest when I decide.
You move when I say it.

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,700
Understood ?

35
00:01:58,290 --> 00:01:59,620
I understood...

36
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:02,500
But I still want to rest.

37
00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:06,540
You are so funny!

38
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,450
You seem weak, you get tired quickly,
and you want to overthrow power?

39
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:14,120
I am only the one
which lights the flame.

40
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:17,160
No need to be strong.

41
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,750
How to light a fire?
Do you have a candle with you?

42
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:22,620
The will of the people.

43
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:26,580
The anger of the people
is growing.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,700
I'm just going to set things on fire.
It will spread from the Central Plain

45
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:34,580
passing through Laodong and Mobei

46
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:37,410
and until the last grain of sand
of this desert.

47
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:39,910
For in the end,

48
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,790
give way to a new world
full of prosperity.

49
00:02:46,950 --> 00:02:50,000
Dao Ma,
Is this a mark of respect?

50
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:58,450
Xiao Qi, remember:

51
00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:01,540
don't talk with crazy people.
It could be contagious.

52
00:03:01,870 --> 00:03:04,290
So why are you talking to him?

53
00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:06,540
Adults know how to manage.

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,200
Dao Ma,

55
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:11,870
one day... one day...

56
00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:14,200
you will understand me.

57
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:20,080
Come on !

58
00:03:21,330 --> 00:03:22,500
Come on, come on!

59
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:26,790
Great, a cart!
I want to sit in this cart.

60
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:29,080
Hey ? Wait for me!

61
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:31,950
Take me,
I can pay you double!

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,950
Faster!

63
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:38,000
YAN ZINIANG

64
00:03:44,790 --> 00:03:45,750
It's okay, Ayuya.

65
00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:47,540
Lower your weapon.

66
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:49,790
Let's continue.

67
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:51,450
Learn

68
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,080
not to talk to strangers.

69
00:03:54,450 --> 00:03:56,870
We don't know
what can be hidden in there.

70
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,620
I just wanted
sit inside...

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,450
Stop your bullshit.
On horseback.

72
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:11,790
My darling,

73
00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:14,660
how much did you pay for it
to catch us?

74
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:16,620
SHU

75
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:18,410
1,000... 1,200?

76
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,370
Hey, answer!
Are you stupid or what?

77
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:30,910
You are aware
consequences for us?

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,250
He will tear the skin off our faces,

79
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:36,830
cut off our limbs
and stop the bleeding.

80
00:04:37,330 --> 00:04:40,290
Then he will leave us
languish in the sun for a whole day.

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,160
To give us
fed to dogs.

82
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:50,250
Poor guy.

83
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:53,750
I don't like his face.

84
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:56,750
I just wanted to escape the old...

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,540
But you... you're different.

86
00:05:02,830 --> 00:05:04,500
You are the person

87
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:07,870
the most exciting one I have encountered.

88
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,870
If you let me go,

89
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,160
I will do anything.

90
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:18,540
Come on, come on!

91
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,450
They are coming.

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,120
You don't wonder

93
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:26,830
why all men
give in to my charm?

94
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:31,370
Free me and you will know.

95
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:34,120
Play with me

96
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:35,950
is an unexpected opportunity.

97
00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:40,370
It hurts!

98
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,330
For the protector.

99
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,000
Dao Ma,
you heard that too, right?

100
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:36,250
Did it come from the cart?

101
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:42,790
Savage, follow me!
Maybe we'll get this cart.

102
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,450
And me? It’s me who’s being escorted!

103
00:06:54,250 --> 00:06:55,620
I'm in pain.

104
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,620
God returns...

105
00:07:01,540 --> 00:07:03,790
Fear

106
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:05,910
- is in the dark.
- What are you doing ?

107
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:10,620
So we sing

108
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,620
our desires.

109
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:15,290
- For him.
- Stop!

110
00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:29,830
Great creator.
Spirit behind everything.

111
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
This heart, which beats,

112
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,290
is for you.

113
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,750
What do they say?
It doesn't sound like Turkish.

114
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:41,660
It's Sanskrit.
“Kewei” means “Rakshasas”.

115
00:07:42,290 --> 00:07:45,040
We don't move anymore.
We wait and we observe.

116
00:07:48,330 --> 00:07:49,580
Sacrifice.

117
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Sacrifice !

118
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:54,830
Sacrifice !

119
00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:56,790
Sacrifice !

120
00:08:10,910 --> 00:08:11,950
Ouch ouch ouch.

121
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Do you want to kiss a girl?

122
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:18,790
This will be at your own risk.

123
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:23,950
Women.
Great offering!

124
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:31,750
Ah!
I thought you were dead too.

125
00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:33,200
My darling.

126
00:08:37,910 --> 00:08:38,750
Shit.

127
00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:46,200
You like

128
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,620
the blood?

129
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:54,790
You will be thirsty for more.

130
00:08:57,950 --> 00:09:00,830
You look like you can handle it, get me out of here.

131
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,160
So you have no pity?
You're strangling me!

132
00:09:18,910 --> 00:09:20,040
Don't drag me!

133
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:22,410
Hey, can you hear me?

134
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,950
Behind !

135
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:39,750
My darling,

136
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:43,160
it seems that these losers
are not afraid of you.

137
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,790
If you don't release me,
we will both die.

138
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,830
My father says that the Rakshasas
eat humans.

139
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,580
And what's more, are they armed?

140
00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:58,080
They are not Rakshasas.

141
00:09:58,790 --> 00:10:00,370
I've already seen Rakshasas!

142
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:03,000
They have two pairs of eyes,

143
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,450
pointy ears,
and retractable fangs!

144
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,580
They all have hair
red like fire!

145
00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:10,950
This... is this true?

146
00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:13,660
Some people believe in Rakshasas.

147
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:17,120
Some people worship the Rakshasas...

148
00:10:17,830 --> 00:10:19,660
What do you mean?

149
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:26,410
There are people of the desert,

150
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:30,330
who worship the Rakshasas
and call them protectors.

151
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,160
As soon as a Rakshasas appears,

152
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:38,290
they imitate them and kill passers-by.

153
00:10:38,830 --> 00:10:40,540
They call it sacrifice.

154
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:46,750
And they exchange the stolen money
against powder of the five minerals.

155
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:50,700
It is a hallucinogenic drug
before the Qin dynasty.

156
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:52,750
Popularized
during the Wei, Jin dynasties

157
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,580
and the current one.
It causes hallucinations.

158
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:59,120
Long-term addiction can kill.

159
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:02,580
So their mind is constantly
in this second state.

160
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:06,080
They don't feel
the fear of dying.

161
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,040
That's why
that they are not afraid of him.

162
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,250
At this rate,
this swordsman is going to die.

163
00:11:16,450 --> 00:11:17,700
And there is a woman.

164
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,620
Savage, wait.

165
00:11:19,950 --> 00:11:22,660
We are not taking action?
Are you going to let them die?

166
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:25,410
We are simple passers-by.

167
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:28,000
We don't help
out of the goodness of my heart.

168
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:30,700
So what do we do?

169
00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:32,200
A market.

170
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:36,290
We find common ground.
That's what I call a good deal.

171
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:39,950
Xiao Qi, do you want
sit in the cart?

172
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:41,290
Yeah !

173
00:11:42,330 --> 00:11:43,910
I want it too!

174
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,120
- Go help them!
- We didn't ask you anything.

175
00:11:47,410 --> 00:11:48,410
Here, take it.

176
00:11:49,830 --> 00:11:51,910
Dao Ma, I'm coming with you.

177
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,160
You stay here. Protect Xiao Qi.

178
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,620
I'm here too!

179
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,660
And our customer.

180
00:12:01,450 --> 00:12:02,950
I'll let you know.

181
00:12:05,370 --> 00:12:08,120
He is so brave and brilliant.

182
00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:12,370
He is heroic at heart and valiant.

183
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:14,910
But...

184
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:18,080
these two people
have lost their minds.

185
00:12:18,950 --> 00:12:22,120
And our hero wants this cart.

186
00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:24,500
It's a funny situation.

187
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,410
My choice of words
is extremely insightful.

188
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,410
One, two, three...

189
00:12:43,410 --> 00:12:44,540
However,

190
00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:46,830
he's not a hero.

191
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:58,290
But, you...

192
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:03,910
Those who want to die, come near!

193
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:19,700
The swordsman!

194
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:21,160
My friend !

195
00:13:22,290 --> 00:13:23,660
Today is a big day.

196
00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:26,290
I have a deal to offer you.

197
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:28,830
You have a cart,
but no horse.

198
00:13:29,540 --> 00:13:31,450
I happen to have a few.

199
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160
You don't like
make new friends?

200
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:48,620
THE WORLD IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVE:
EVERYONE RUNS FOR THEIR PROFIT.

201
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:52,790
THE WORLD HURRYS UP AND GOES AWAY:
EVERYONE PARTIES FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.
