00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,690
=Moonlit Reunion=

2
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:30,970
(Adapted from Fu Hua's novel
"Madam Mei's Husband Spoiling")

3
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:34,000
=Episode 16=

4
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Jiushi Incense.

5
00:01:48,444 --> 00:01:49,230
Pass the ball to me.

6
00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:57,266
Little medicine jar!

7
00:01:57,266 --> 00:01:59,420
Little medicine jar, it's not
that we won't play with you.

8
00:01:59,422 --> 00:02:01,400
You just can't keep up!

9
00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:03,680
Half a breath left. No strength at all.

10
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Trip once and you'll never get up!

11
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680
Half a breath left. No strength at all.

12
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,630
Trip once and you'll never get up!

13
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:11,630
Half a breath left. No strength at all.

14
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:13,590
Trip once and you'll never get up!

15
00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:14,630
Half a breath left...

16
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,840
- Who's that?
- Who's that?

17
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:21,400
If he can't play with you,

18
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,400
I can.

19
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
- You?
- You?

20
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,630
- Run!
- Run!

21
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,150
I heard you're my cousin.

22
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:41,080
Let's blend incense together.

23
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,590
Fetch me plum blossom buds and azalea.

24
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,910
Is this enough?

25
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Add more.

26
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,280
Add some La tea powder.

27
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Wild turmeric, patchouli, and licorice.

28
00:03:03,644 --> 00:03:04,866
And also black locust honey.

29
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,040
(Common, Skilled,
Exquisite, Supreme)

30
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,280
(Exquisite)

31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Young Master Pei,
you traveled all the way here

32
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:21,910
to attend this grand assembly.

33
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,150
Why did you present

34
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:27,870
such an ordinary incense?

35
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,520
You may not know, Master An.

36
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:30,750
This incense of mine

37
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:32,590
burns only for one person.

38
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Do you like it, Your Ladyship?

39
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,400
I do.

40
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,630
I see an image of a garden,
in full blossom, from my childhood days.

41
00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:46,000
A spring bloom of old days.

42
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:48,000
However,

43
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,470
you've prepared for so long
for this assembly,

44
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:52,280
come all this way,

45
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,910
only to burn an incense of memory?

46
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:55,960
It's unworthy of it, right?

47
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,280
That's how people speak of poets.

48
00:03:58,630 --> 00:04:00,150
Some write for the world,

49
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:02,360
and some write for the very one.

50
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,560
I don't make this incense
to please everyone.

51
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,000
I only wish to please one heart.

52
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,360
Now, one extraordinary incense
remains unjudged.

53
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,040
It's crafted by Master An Biluo.

54
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:29,630
As the final incense of this assembly,

55
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:32,830
we invite all to behold.

56
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:34,120
It's Master An's incense.

57
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Master An?

58
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,480
He hasn't crafted incense
in nearly three years.

59
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:40,800
This trip is well worth it.

60
00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:42,390
Indeed.

61
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:18,240
This is the Si horn censer?

62
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,510
It's big

63
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,630
and finely carved.

64
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,000
It's rare indeed.

65
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:31,630
This censer is carved from
the Sky-piercing Horn of Linyi.

66
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,000
It's precious.

67
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:34,630
Yet even so,

68
00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:38,120
its worth can't be compared
to one of the spices used.

69
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,630
What is this incense called?

70
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,240
Qiling Incense!

71
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:44,688
- Qiling Incense?
- Qiling Incense?

72
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,870
So this is the Qiling Incense.

73
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,920
I've heard
it is Master An's new creation.

74
00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:52,800
Gathering the essence
of heaven and earth.

75
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Its smoke rises to the Ninth Heaven

76
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,120
and spreads far and wide.

77
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,510
Bathe in it for years,

78
00:05:58,950 --> 00:06:00,750
and you will stay forever young,

79
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,750
and your vigor will never fade.

80
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,800
What is the recipe?

81
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,630
The main ingredient
is the phoenix feather.

82
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:36,390
Dragon scales are ground to powder,

83
00:06:36,430 --> 00:06:41,040
blended with styrax, resin, ambergris,
and a hundred other spices,

84
00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:44,270
then sealed away for a thousand days.

85
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:47,560
Phoenix feather and dragon scales?

86
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:49,600
That's absurd.

87
00:06:49,630 --> 00:06:51,830
Such things never existed.

88
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,830
Don't speak ill of Master An.

89
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,160
He must have his reasons.

90
00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:13,950
Is Master An sure about this?

91
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:15,750
Why does it smell like poo?

92
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:17,270
Hold your tongue.

93
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:19,310
How can you doubt Master An?

94
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:21,120
His incense

95
00:08:21,630 --> 00:08:22,720
is beyond compare.

96
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,190
We're just too lowly

97
00:08:26,630 --> 00:08:28,160
to appreciate it.

98
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,240
Rancid.

99
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:56,550
Master Xie.

100
00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:02,200
What do you think of my incense?

101
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,630
This one?

102
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,870
Smelly.

103
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,240
This incense is truly extraordinary.

104
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,480
It's like

105
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,670
the fragrance of the earth.

106
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:25,120
Like the spring sun
melting the winter's frost.

107
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,750
Life begins anew.

108
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:31,080
Marvelous!

109
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,720
- Marvelous!
- Marvelous!

110
00:09:33,733 --> 00:09:35,266
I've been away from Chang'an for years.

111
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Has their taste grown so peculiar?

112
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Marvelous.

113
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,150
Marvelous.

114
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:43,440
Marvelous.

115
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:49,390
How would you grade this incense?

116
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,600
It's the incense blended by Master.

117
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,360
How could we dare to judge?

118
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,200
I asked, what grade would you give it?

119
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:04,870
Of course...

120
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,200
It must be Supreme.

121
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,640
(Common)

122
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,200
(Supreme)

123
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,030
Supreme.

124
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,440
And you, Master Gao?

125
00:10:21,888 --> 00:10:23,733
(Supreme)

126
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:46,080
Young Lady Wu.

127
00:10:48,030 --> 00:10:49,120
What do you think?

128
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,630
I think,

129
00:10:54,311 --> 00:10:56,720
though the earlier incenses
each had their differences,

130
00:10:57,150 --> 00:10:58,630
they were at least fragrances.

131
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,720
Master An, your incense...

132
00:11:01,390 --> 00:11:02,550
What about it?

133
00:11:07,510 --> 00:11:09,120
It smells like a fowl pen.

134
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:12,910
Fowl pen?

135
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:15,790
Is that not so?

136
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:19,360
She's just like what she used to be.

137
00:11:19,870 --> 00:11:22,150
Never sparing anyone's face.

138
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:23,790
What about you all?

139
00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:28,360
It smells like filth.

140
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,600
Yes.

141
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:32,200
It does smell like filth.

142
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,670
See? I'm not the only one.

143
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:41,000
You wet-behind-the-ears persons!

144
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,240
You know nothing at all!

145
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:46,240
This is Qiling Incense!

146
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,150
For this Qiling Incense,

147
00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:53,120
I spared no effort.

148
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480
The dragon scales are pangolin scales,

149
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:57,630
and the phoenix feather

150
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,550
came from white geese.

151
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:00,840
They may be ordinary,

152
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,870
but the method of taking them
is most exacting.

153
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,360
The more terrified the goslings are,

154
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,750
the richer the scent of the feather

155
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:11,630
under their beaks.

156
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,733
(Mind purified, focus sharpens.)

157
00:13:27,755 --> 00:13:29,488
(All immortals
heed the call of protection.)

158
00:13:29,533 --> 00:13:30,844
(Dark fiends crumble.)

159
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,390
(Evil vanishes.)

160
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:35,030
(Break!)

161
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,750
Where's Zhen?

162
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,960
I know you're miserable.

163
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:14,750
An Biluo has taken
countless innocent lives.

164
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,240
I understand you possessed him

165
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:20,270
to stop his slaughter and take revenge.

166
00:14:20,630 --> 00:14:23,150
But this body is his.

167
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:25,720
Even if it eases your hatred,

168
00:14:26,390 --> 00:14:27,910
it's only temporary.

169
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:30,630
How did you...

170
00:14:33,390 --> 00:14:34,670
How did you find out?

171
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,670
I'm the Cat Master
in Chang'an Demon Market.

172
00:14:38,422 --> 00:14:39,790
The human world is complicated.

173
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:41,440
Why not

174
00:14:44,422 --> 00:14:46,120
come back to the Demon Market with me?

175
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,000
I'll get you a body
from the Attached Body Shop,

176
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,422
help you advance your cultivation,

177
00:14:50,444 --> 00:14:51,644
and punish the evil

178
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,360
for your justice.

179
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Demon Market?

180
00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:15,870
Cat Master?

181
00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:20,510
Cat Master,

182
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:22,200
since this is over,

183
00:15:22,311 --> 00:15:23,840
let's return to the Demon Market now.

184
00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:25,510
It's better to explain to them first.

185
00:15:27,870 --> 00:15:28,480
Cat Master!

186
00:15:29,390 --> 00:15:30,080
Ling Xiao.

187
00:15:34,270 --> 00:15:35,240
After all,

188
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,270
you're handing me over to them.

189
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,550
Report! Nothing on the east side.

190
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,390
Report! Nothing on the west side.

191
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:42,630
Report! Nothing on the north side.

192
00:15:42,630 --> 00:15:43,440
Enough.

193
00:15:44,022 --> 00:15:45,688
Don't report again unless you find them.

194
00:15:49,777 --> 00:15:51,200
What kind of Cat Master are you?

195
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,844
You don't even have the demonic power.

196
00:15:52,866 --> 00:15:53,870
You're a liar!

197
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,030
Over there!

198
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Zhen?

199
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Wait. How did they get across?

200
00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:08,120
Don't tell me they can fly?

201
00:16:12,750 --> 00:16:13,790
That's impossible...

202
00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:20,270
I know you're stalling for time.

203
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,630
Before I deal with them,

204
00:16:21,630 --> 00:16:23,630
I'll finish you, liar.

205
00:16:37,555 --> 00:16:38,777
There's something at his nape.

206
00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:01,150
Are you all right?

207
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:08,790
Zhen!

208
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:10,240
Zhen.

209
00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:12,790
Are you all right, Zhen?

210
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,070
Zhuyu.

211
00:17:16,350 --> 00:17:17,480
You were amazing.

212
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,000
Why didn't you ever tell me?

213
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:21,680
Commissioner Mei, that was incredible.

214
00:17:22,110 --> 00:17:22,960
Where's my sword?

215
00:17:23,030 --> 00:17:23,830
Commissioner Mei.

216
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,030
Gosh!

217
00:17:26,030 --> 00:17:28,440
I'm the weakest now in the Mei family.

218
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:29,920
Commissioner Mei,

219
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,790
will you think about transferring
to Jinwu Guards?

220
00:17:31,790 --> 00:17:33,680
Commissioner Mei, will you join us?

221
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,400
- Zhuyu...
- Commissioner Mei.

222
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:36,830
I should get going.

223
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,960
I can't believe this, Zhuyu.

224
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,480
How did you do that?

225
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,866
Will you consider joining us?

226
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,160
Join us.

227
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,590
Why didn't you invite me?

228
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Young Master Pei,
we've got the Qijiao resin.

229
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,880
Help! Help!

230
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,030
You'd better stay out of this.

231
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:42,750
Go.

232
00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:46,750
If you save me,

233
00:18:46,844 --> 00:18:48,911
I, Pei Jiya of Kunzhou,
will serve at your command.

234
00:19:15,550 --> 00:19:16,440
Run!

235
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,311
(Dear benefactor, I met a man
named Mei Zhuyu in Chang'an.)

236
00:19:43,355 --> 00:19:45,555
(He seems well-versed in Daoist magic,
which resembles yours.)

237
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,590
Blood as guide, heed my order.

238
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,590
(He can draw talismans,)

239
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:15,200
(and his moves resemble
those of the one who saved me.)

240
00:20:16,150 --> 00:20:20,200
(Could this Mei Zhuyu also be connected
to the Changxi Palace?)

241
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,160
Demons

242
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:12,510
should be slain.

243
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,160
But I won't kill you.

244
00:21:17,488 --> 00:21:19,350
I know you never meant
to harm the innocent

245
00:21:19,790 --> 00:21:22,160
at the Incense Assembly.

246
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,000
You chose An Biluo only to warn others

247
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:29,640
to stop slaughtering

248
00:21:30,270 --> 00:21:31,440
for their selfish gain.

249
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,400
His various crimes

250
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,790
will be punished by the law.

251
00:21:37,550 --> 00:21:40,550
Fear will haunt him every night.

252
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,550
But you,

253
00:21:44,030 --> 00:21:45,310
if you can't let go of hate,

254
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,110
do you really want to feed on resentment

255
00:21:48,244 --> 00:21:49,866
forever?

256
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,240
(Stars of the Supreme Mystery,)

257
00:22:01,590 --> 00:22:02,920
(change beyond form.)

258
00:22:03,044 --> 00:22:04,590
(Starlit wisdom, a mirror of clarity,)

259
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:06,150
(brings peace to the six spirits.)

260
00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:07,440
(Disperse!)

261
00:22:35,310 --> 00:22:36,270
It's you.

262
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,000
It... It was all done by An Biluo?

263
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:51,550
Yes.

264
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,920
He actually slaughtered so many

265
00:22:58,110 --> 00:22:59,880
just for his own gain.

266
00:23:00,350 --> 00:23:01,070
This is insane.

267
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:06,830
Why are you here?

268
00:23:08,466 --> 00:23:10,960
I recalled what An Biluo said
when he was possessed.

269
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,000
The trail led me here.

270
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,400
This was where he lived two months ago.

271
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,350
I guessed it was tied
to the Incense Assembly,

272
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,444
so I came to check it out.

273
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,550
So did I.

274
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:23,790
What a shame.

275
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Only bodies remain.

276
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Not quite.

277
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,909
Her Majesty was furious when she heard

278
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:53,410
what happened at the Incense Assembly.

279
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:55,680
She intended to cancel the event
for good,

280
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,200
but Noble Consort Mei
and Princess Yuanzhen persuaded her

281
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,160
before she changed her mind.

282
00:24:01,270 --> 00:24:03,400
The Incense Assembly is
a festival for all the people.

283
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,440
It shouldn't be condemned entirely

284
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,830
just because of An Biluo.

285
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,160
So His Majesty decreed

286
00:24:10,270 --> 00:24:12,200
that no animal ingredients
should be used

287
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,920
from now on,

288
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
and extravagance isn't allowed.

289
00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:18,680
Only incense that the people can afford
may be judged the best.

290
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,350
An Biluo has been expelled
from the Incense Association.

291
00:24:22,030 --> 00:24:25,440
When he left the city today,
no one came to send him off.

292
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
The crowd chased him
and pelted him with vegetable leaves.

293
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,640
If this curbs

294
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,480
the fashion of those young noblemen

295
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,680
squandering fortune on incense,

296
00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:42,200
caring only for high price
and not the quality,

297
00:24:43,266 --> 00:24:44,640
then some good has come of it.

298
00:24:44,790 --> 00:24:47,310
Young Lady Wu, you share
Her Majesty's view.

299
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,790
Her Majesty worries for you

300
00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:51,920
and summons you to the palace.

301
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,350
All right.

302
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,640
What should I name you?

303
00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:03,270
A goose?

304
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,920
O geese, O geese, O geese!

305
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,666
You crane your neck
and to the sky your song sweet.

306
00:25:10,666 --> 00:25:12,488
Your white feathers float on
green water with ease.

307
00:25:12,488 --> 00:25:14,310
You swim through clear waves
with your red-webbed feet.

308
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:15,030
Zhen,

309
00:25:15,550 --> 00:25:17,350
you're losing knowledge pretty quickly.

310
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:19,880
I should send you
a Three Character Classic later.

311
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,960
Mind your own business.

312
00:25:22,110 --> 00:25:23,240
When did you arrive?

313
00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:24,960
When you were honking.

314
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,550
Young Lady Wu is naming the goose.

315
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,400
Naming it?

316
00:25:32,644 --> 00:25:34,070
Are you going to build a monument

317
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,350
if you cook it?

318
00:25:35,790 --> 00:25:37,240
Mind your tongue.

319
00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:39,240
You'll scare my Goose Son.

320
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:40,920
Son?

321
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,440
It's Goose Son.

322
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,030
His name.

323
00:25:45,550 --> 00:25:47,680
You're my Goose Son from now on.

324
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,830
Your son?

325
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,830
Guess who I am?

326
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,510
You can't see me, right?

327
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:00,750
Can't see me, right?

328
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,920
Can you?

329
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,310
This is a fine treasure

330
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,160
I acquired on this journey.

331
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,590
A sorcery master

332
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,200
sold me this invisibility cloak.

333
00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:20,440
You really think this thing has anything
to do with sorcery?

334
00:26:22,510 --> 00:26:23,480
Never mind that.

335
00:26:24,110 --> 00:26:24,790
You...

336
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,720
I was only away for three months,

337
00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:31,400
and I'm a grandfather now?

338
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,550
That's too fast.

339
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,480
You?

340
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,400
You?

341
00:26:40,510 --> 00:26:41,160
You?

342
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:44,920
Whose son?

343
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:49,030
Uncle.

344
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,070
Duke Wu.

345
00:26:54,830 --> 00:26:56,720
I, Mei Zhuyu, greet you, Duke Wu.

346
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,960
Pretty good.

347
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,750
A familiar face,

348
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,830
a long-lost one,

349
00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:06,960
and

350
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,590
a newcomer.

351
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Very good.

352
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,110
You were gone so long

353
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,200
that I almost thought I had no father.

354
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,550
I heard

355
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,480
two young men were living in our house.

356
00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:23,030
Everyone in Chang'an

357
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,830
is talking about it.

358
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:26,960
They're betting on it.

359
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:30,750
I'm also concerned.

360
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:35,000
So you came home because of the gossip.

361
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:38,790
No, I'm worried about my daughter.

362
00:27:40,030 --> 00:27:40,830
So,

363
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,510
um...

364
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,310
Which of them is my son-in-law?

365
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,070
Whom do you like, Father?

366
00:27:48,510 --> 00:27:49,070
Me?

367
00:27:53,070 --> 00:27:54,070
It's hard to choose.

368
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Hard to choose?

369
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,240
If so, carry your grandson first.

370
00:28:03,955 --> 00:28:04,720
Wait for me, Zhen.

371
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Young Master Mei,

372
00:28:12,510 --> 00:28:15,270
I wonder what you think of
my daughter...

373
00:28:15,270 --> 00:28:15,960
Uncle,

374
00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:19,880
Young Master Mei
only stays here because of me.

375
00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:21,960
And I came to Chang'an

376
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,750
to propose to Zhen.

377
00:28:23,866 --> 00:28:25,590
Please give me your permission, Uncle.

378
00:28:46,750 --> 00:28:47,310
Zhen.

379
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,133
You want to ask about Liu Taizhen?

380
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,480
What has happened to Young Lady Liu?

381
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,030
Why was it you at the Incense Assembly?

382
00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:02,200
I thought

383
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,070
I'd have a chance to see her that day.

384
00:29:06,550 --> 00:29:08,510
Why are you so anxious about her?

385
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:10,920
I'm reproducing
Notes on Demons and Oddities.

386
00:29:11,488 --> 00:29:13,270
I wished to finish the painting
to show her.

387
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,030
I went to the Incense Assembly

388
00:29:17,270 --> 00:29:18,680
at Ling Xiao's invitation.

389
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,790
As for Liu Taizhen,

390
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,160
she's sick.

391
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:25,400
She's sick?

392
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,480
What illness?

393
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Is it serious?

394
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,555
Could it be fatal?
Did she see a physician?

395
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:31,070
Calm yourself.

396
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:31,960
She is fine.

397
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:34,400
But she's not in Chang'an.

398
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:35,790
About...

399
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,110
In about three days, she'll be back.

400
00:29:40,030 --> 00:29:41,960
In three days?

401
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,790
How dare a cultivator

402
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,480
drain a rabbit demon's essence core
with dark magic?

403
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:47,960
Seems like another prey
has delivered herself.

404
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,880
(End it quick.
Don't ask what you shouldn't.)

405
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,550
I was only asking a question.

406
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:31,680
Why be so impatient?

407
00:31:32,755 --> 00:31:36,022
- What should we do now, Young Master?
- What should we do now, Young Master?

408
00:31:38,550 --> 00:31:39,350
Forget it.

409
00:31:39,755 --> 00:31:42,160
After all, this benefactor of mine
taught me the spells

410
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:43,310
and made me stronger.

411
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,790
Since he's anxious about this,

412
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,960
I'll put this matter first.

413
00:31:51,222 --> 00:31:53,680
(Mei Residence)

414
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,510
How can it be? That doesn't make sense.

415
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:59,510
She looks perfectly fine.

416
00:31:59,550 --> 00:32:01,510
What are you mumbling about?

417
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,110
Stop pacing.

418
00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:05,000
You're making me dizzy.

419
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,888
My Young Lady Liu didn't attend
the Incense Assembly.

420
00:32:08,070 --> 00:32:08,960
So what?

421
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,750
She looked well enough.

422
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,880
How could she suddenly fall sick?

423
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,310
You mortals have a short lifespan.

424
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:18,750
Falling ill is normal.

425
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,240
Do demons lurk

426
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,510
in someone's household?

427
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:28,110
Demons have their own affairs.

428
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,070
We don't go to mortal homes for nothing.

429
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,880
And yet you're in mine.

430
00:32:32,510 --> 00:32:34,110
I'm in my recovery.

431
00:32:34,110 --> 00:32:35,640
Special case, you know?

432
00:32:36,110 --> 00:32:37,070
Fine, fine.

433
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,830
That means if it's a special case,

434
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:42,160
demons do stay in people's houses?

435
00:32:42,790 --> 00:32:43,830
Of course.

436
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,440
You know what?

437
00:32:48,030 --> 00:32:51,030
I saw a giant white serpent
in Young Lady Liu's house.

438
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,200
White serpent?

439
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,350
It's as thick as a barrel,
and about 13 meters tall.

440
00:32:57,830 --> 00:32:59,270
It's gigantic.

441
00:32:59,510 --> 00:33:00,750
Surely a demon.

442
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,200
Do you think

443
00:33:03,310 --> 00:33:04,880
Young Lady Liu fell sick

444
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,440
because of the serpent?

445
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,830
Well...

446
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,920
I can only know if I see it.

447
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,120
(Shu)

448
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,510
Are you saying

449
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,400
the Zhuan fish demon at Tangquan Baths

450
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:25,680
and those demons
in the massage house

451
00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:27,510
are fighting over business?

452
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,200
I heard there's a lot happening
in your manor

453
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,200
that you have no time
to come to the Demon Market.

454
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,880
There's something
I don't know how to handle.

455
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,400
I'd like to see your advice.

456
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:40,960
Matters you can't handle?

457
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,480
I always thought you were all-knowing

458
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,022
and capable of everything, Lord Shu.

459
00:33:49,270 --> 00:33:49,920
Hold on.

460
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,000
Didn't Hu Zhu mention this

461
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,720
to me before?

462
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,070
It happened a long time ago.

463
00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Perhaps

464
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:01,830
they've quarreled again.

465
00:34:11,350 --> 00:34:13,977
This is the account of
Tangquan Baths and the massage house.

466
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,440
Please have a look

467
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,840
and see where the problem is.

468
00:34:19,822 --> 00:34:21,840
(Account)
This is the last thing I want to see.

469
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,000
Numbers always gave me a headache.

470
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:39,800
(Liu Residence)

471
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,280
It's already this hour.
Why hasn't she returned?

472
00:34:48,970 --> 00:34:49,920
Loach, you!

473
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,920
What are you doing, Sir?

474
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,880
Since she's not coming,

475
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,800
and you're not allowed inside,

476
00:34:58,070 --> 00:34:59,150
why keep waiting?

477
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,440
Take me for a stroll in the market.

478
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,120
I've been stuck in your house
for so long.

479
00:35:03,150 --> 00:35:04,190
I'm bored to death.

480
00:35:04,510 --> 00:35:05,630
Where do you want to go?

481
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,000
Somewhere with food.

482
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,760
You?

483
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,200
You're smaller than a Hu flatbread.
What do you want to eat?

484
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,230
Stop.

485
00:35:17,230 --> 00:35:18,030
I... I'll take you.

486
00:35:18,070 --> 00:35:20,030
I'll take you to eat.

487
00:35:22,030 --> 00:35:22,550
Let's go.

488
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,640
(Fortune Abound)

489
00:35:27,030 --> 00:35:28,670
Sir, in Chang'an,

490
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:30,440
there's not only local delicacy,

491
00:35:30,510 --> 00:35:33,022
but also rare cuisine from
Western Regions and Southern Borders.

492
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,670
Up ahead, there's lamb soup
with vermicelli and beef tripe.

493
00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:39,000
Of course, there's also my favorite,
thousand-layer pastry.

494
00:35:40,244 --> 00:35:42,360
The drunken chicken roll
with pickle sauce is good.

495
00:35:45,070 --> 00:35:45,630
Sir...

496
00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:46,440
Have a nice day.

497
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:47,630
Wait, Sir!

498
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:48,400
Have a nice day.

499
00:35:49,844 --> 00:35:51,110
Where did this loach come from?

500
00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:57,150
Well...

501
00:35:57,630 --> 00:35:58,360
Sir.

502
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,440
I want this one.

503
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,070
I just saw one loach crawl up here.

504
00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:05,190
I'll get a new one.

505
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:06,510
No, I want this one.

506
00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:08,960
Well, then.

507
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,150
Here you go.

508
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:13,030
Thank you.

509
00:36:13,150 --> 00:36:13,800
Have a nice day.

510
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,190
Are you all right, Sir?

511
00:36:16,190 --> 00:36:17,550
He hit me on the head!

512
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:19,760
He actually hit me with a strainer!

513
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,000
Stop complaining.

514
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:22,800
Didn't you see the knife in his hand?

515
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,510
What is this shop?

516
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,190
So dark inside.

517
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,400
This is an ink shop.

518
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,590
They sell ink.

519
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:40,800
Not to my taste, though.

520
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,320
This isn't food.

521
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,840
It's for painting.

522
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,070
Painting?

523
00:36:47,150 --> 00:36:48,280
I see.

524
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:51,070
This black ink is made especially
to paint me.

525
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:55,070
I doubt they could
capture my dashing looks.

526
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,150
I've run out of ink,

527
00:36:57,150 --> 00:36:58,400
so I came to buy some.

528
00:36:59,710 --> 00:37:00,400
Sir.

529
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:01,190
Coming.

530
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:07,066
Young Master Mei Si,
it's been a long time.

531
00:37:07,133 --> 00:37:08,911
I'd like to buy some fine styrax ink.

532
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:10,840
Bad timing.

533
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,320
A few days ago, a wealthy customer came

534
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,110
and bought it all.

535
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,000
All of it?

536
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:16,880
Yes.

537
00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:19,110
Usually, I can't sell any in months,

538
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:21,440
but that customer bought everything.

539
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,630
I regret not keeping more in stock.

540
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,400
But I need it now.

541
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,550
One moment.

542
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,920
If you're interested, try this one.

543
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,360
Someone left it here to sell.

544
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,480
Look.

545
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,590
Smooth texture and lustrous as lacquer.

546
00:37:49,070 --> 00:37:51,920
This is surely excellent.

547
00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:55,840
Top quality.

548
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Indeed.

549
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:58,670
This is better than styrax ink.

550
00:38:00,030 --> 00:38:00,800
I'll take it.

551
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:01,590
Sure thing.

552
00:38:07,190 --> 00:38:07,840
Thank you, Sir.

553
00:38:07,866 --> 00:38:09,600
Have a nice day, Young Master Mei Si.

554
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,400
(Shu)

555
00:39:06,030 --> 00:39:08,150
Lord Qiangyi.

556
00:39:08,550 --> 00:39:10,760
It wasn't easy for me to be
with her today.

557
00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:13,920
So what if you're
a mere wisp of its soul?

558
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,360
Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself
were here,

559
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,110
