Echoes of Time.

00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:54,230
Pass it to me!

00:02:00,070 --> 00:02:02,590
- Pillboy!
- Pillboy!

7
00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:03,310
Pillboy,

8
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:04,280
it's not that
we don't want to play with you.

9
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,400
You just can't keep up!

- Who is it?
- Who is it?

18
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:26,400
He can't play with you.

19
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,400
But I can.

20
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,000
- You?
- You?

21
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,630
- Run!

00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,150
They say you're my cousin.

23
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:46,080
Let's make incense together.

24
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,590
I need plum blossom buds and azaleas.

25
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,910
Is this enough?

26
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:01,840
More.

27
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280
Some Lacha tea powder too.

28
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
And turmeric, agastache, licorice.

29
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:09,630
Also white honey.

[Exquisite]

31
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Mr. Pei, you've traveled a long way

32
00:03:25,470 --> 00:03:26,910
to join this contest.

33
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,150
Why present

34
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,870
such a common incense?

35
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Master, you see,

36
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:35,750
this incense

37
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:37,590
is lit for one person alone.

38
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,800
My Lady, do you like it?

39
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,400
I do.

40
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,630
It brings back the garden in my youth,
blooming with flowers,

41
00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:51,000
the springtime of old.

42
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:53,000
But

43
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,470
you've prepared so long
for this Incense Contest

44
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:57,280
and journeyed all this way.

45
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,910
Is it worth it, just to burn

46
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:00,960
an incense of memory?

47
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,280
I hear some poets

48
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,150
write for the world,

49
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:07,360
others for one person.

50
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:10,560
I don't seek to please the world,

51
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000
but to delight one person.

52
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360
Now, we present a legendary incense

53
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,040
from Master An Biluo.

54
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:34,630
The finale of our contest.

55
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:37,830
We invite you all to enjoy.

56
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,120
Master An's incense?

57
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,800
Master An?

58
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,480
He hasn't made incense himself
in nearly two or three years.

59
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,800
This trip was truly worth it.

60
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:47,390
Indeed.

61
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:23,240
This is a Rhinoceros Horn Censer.

62
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,510
Such a large vessel.

63
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,630
Exquisite carving.

64
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Truly rare.

65
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:36,630
This censer is carved from the horn
of a Linyi Heaven-Reaching Rhinoceros.

66
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Extremely rare.

67
00:05:38,430 --> 00:05:39,630
But its value

68
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:43,120
is but one ten-thousandth of that
of the incense within.

69
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:45,630
So, what's the name of this incense?

70
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Divine Spirit Incense!

71
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:49,430
- Divine Spirit Incense?
- Divine Spirit Incense?

72
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,870
So this is the Divine Spirit Incense.

73
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,920
I've heard that this incense
is Master An's new creation.

74
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:57,800
It embodies the essence
of heaven and earth.

75
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,680
When burned, its fragrance
ascends to the highest heavens,

76
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,120
perceptible for a great distance.

77
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,510
Year-round immersion

78
00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:05,750
can preserve youth

79
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,750
and dispels fatigue.

80
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,800
What is it made from?

81
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,630
Phoenix feathers as the base,

82
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:41,390
dragon scales ground to powder,

83
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:46,040
supplemented with styrax, benzoin,
ambergris, and a hundred other spices.

84
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:49,270
Blended and aged for a thousand days.

85
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:52,560
Phoenix feathers and dragon scales.

86
00:06:53,390 --> 00:06:54,600
Pure mystification.

87
00:06:54,630 --> 00:06:56,830
How can mythical things be real?

88
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,830
Don't say that about Master An.

89
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,160
He must have his reasons.

90
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:18,950
Is Master An serious?

91
00:08:19,390 --> 00:08:20,750
Why does it smell like poop?

92
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:22,270
Don't say anything more.

93
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:24,310
How can you question Master An?

94
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:26,120
His incense

95
00:08:26,630 --> 00:08:27,720
is unparalleled.

96
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,190
We ordinary folks
simply lack the refinement

97
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:33,160
to appreciate it.

98
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,240
It stinks.

99
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:01,550
Mr. Xie.

100
00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:07,200
How is my incense?

101
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,630
This?

102
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,870
It stinks.

103
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,240
This incense is truly remarkable.

104
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,480
It carries a hint of

105
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,670
earthy freshness.

106
00:09:25,510 --> 00:09:30,120
Like the spring sun
melting the winter snow.

107
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,750
As if all things are sprouting anew.

108
00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:36,080
Simply marvelous.

109
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,720
Marvelous.

110
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,120
I haven't been back
to Chang'an for years.

111
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,960
Have their tastes become this peculiar?

112
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,440
Marvelous indeed.

113
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,150
Marvelous.

114
00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:48,440
Marvelous.

115
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:54,390
Then what grade
would you give this incense?

116
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Master, this incense is crafted by you.

117
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,360
How could we presume to judge it?

118
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,200
I'm asking you what grade you'd give it!

119
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:09,870
Of course...

120
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Of course it's Supreme.

121
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,680
[Common]

122
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:15,960
[Supreme]

123
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,030
Supreme.

124
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Mr. Gao, what about you?

125
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,760
[Supreme]

126
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:51,080
Ms. Wu.

127
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:54,120
What do you think?

128
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,630
I believe

129
00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:01,720
that while previous incenses varied,

130
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:03,630
they were at least fragrant.

131
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,720
Master An, your incense...

132
00:11:06,390 --> 00:11:07,550
How is this incense?

133
00:11:12,510 --> 00:11:14,120
It smells of the livestock barn.

134
00:11:16,270 --> 00:11:17,910
A livestock barn?

135
00:11:19,630 --> 00:11:20,790
Is it not true?

136
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,360
She's just like she was as a child.

137
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:27,150
Doesn't spare anyone's feelings.

138
00:11:27,630 --> 00:11:28,790
What does everyone else think?

139
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:33,360
It really does smell of dung.

140
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,600
Yes.

141
00:11:35,630 --> 00:11:37,200
It does smell of dung.

142
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,670
You see, it's not just me who thinks so.

143
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:46,000
You young whippersnappers!

144
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,240
You don't understand anything!

145
00:11:50,030 --> 00:11:51,240
This Divine Spirit Incense...

146
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,150
I put so much effort

147
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:58,120
into making this Divine Spirit Incense.

148
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480
The dragon scales in the incense
are actually Ling Fish scales.

149
00:12:01,550 --> 00:12:02,630
The so-called phoenix feathers

150
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:04,550
are white goose feathers!

151
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Though common,

152
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,870
the method of plucking
is quite particular.

153
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
The more terrified
and suffering the gosling,

154
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,750
the richer and more fragrant

155
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:16,630
the feathers under their chins will be!

156
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,600
With pure intent rising,

157
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,910
the spirits align.

158
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,630
The dark evils crumble,

159
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,390
all demons disperse.

160
00:13:39,510 --> 00:13:40,030
Break!

161
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,750
Where is Zhen?

162
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,960
I know your pain.

163
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:19,750
An Biluo has committed
too much needless slaughter.

164
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,240
You controlled him to stop the killing

165
00:14:23,550 --> 00:14:25,270
and seek revenge. I understand.

166
00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:28,150
But this body belongs to him.

167
00:14:28,510 --> 00:14:30,720
Even if you use it to vent your hatred,

168
00:14:31,390 --> 00:14:32,910
it's just a temporary solution.

169
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,630
How...

170
00:14:38,390 --> 00:14:39,670
How did you know?

171
00:14:40,910 --> 00:14:42,670
I am the Cat Lord
of Chang'an's Demon Market.

172
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:44,790
The human realm is complicated.

173
00:14:45,790 --> 00:14:46,440
Why don't you

174
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:51,120
come back to the Demon Market with me?

175
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,000
I will find you a vessel
at the Husk House

176
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,150
to aid your cultivation.

177
00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:56,840
And I'll punish the wicked for you

178
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,360
and grant you justice.

179
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,240
The Demon Market?

180
00:15:20,030 --> 00:15:20,870
Cat Lord?

181
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:25,510
Lord,

182
00:15:26,030 --> 00:15:27,200
now that this matter is settled,

183
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,840
we should return
to the Demon Market now.

184
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:30,510
Let's first inform those people.

185
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:33,480
Lord.

186
00:15:34,390 --> 00:15:35,080
Ling Xiao.

187
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:40,240
In the end,

188
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,270
you still intend to
hand me over to them!

189
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,550
Report! No one found on the east side.

190
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,390
Nothing from the west.

191
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,630
Nothing from the north.

192
00:15:47,630 --> 00:15:48,440
Enough reports!

193
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:50,480
Report only when you find someone!

194
00:15:55,270 --> 00:15:56,200
Cat Lord?

195
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,550
You don't have a trace of demonic power.

196
00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:58,870
You're clearly a fraud!

197
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,030
Over there!

198
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Zhen?

199
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,360
Wait, how did they get over there?

200
00:16:11,630 --> 00:16:13,120
Did they fly across?

201
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:18,790
Impossible.

202
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:25,270
You were just stalling for time.

203
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,630
Before I deal with them,

204
00:16:26,630 --> 00:16:28,630
I'll take care of you, you fraud!

205
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:43,670
There's a spirit attached
to the back of his neck.

206
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:06,150
Are you alright?

207
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:13,790
Zhen!

208
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:15,240
Zhen.

209
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:17,790
Zhen, are you alright?

210
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,070
Zhuyu, Zhuyu.

211
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:22,480
You're so amazing.

212
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Why did you never tell me?

213
00:17:24,350 --> 00:17:26,680
Mr. Mei, that sword move
was so cool just now.

214
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:27,960
Where's my sword?

215
00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:28,830
Mr. Mei.

216
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,030
Oh no.

217
00:17:31,030 --> 00:17:33,440
Now I'm truly the worst one
in the Mei family.

218
00:17:34,110 --> 00:17:34,920
Mr. Mei,

219
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,790
have you considered
joining the Jinwu Guard?

220
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:37,270
Mr. Mei,

221
00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:38,680
have you considered
joining the Jinwu Guard?

222
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,480
- Zhu...
- Mr. Mei.

223
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,400
- Mr. Mei.
- Zhuyu!

224
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,830
I'm leaving.

225
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,960
Zhuyu, I can hardly believe it.

226
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,480
How did you do that just now?

227
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,550
have you considered joining us?

228
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,160
Come here.

229
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,590
Why didn't you call me over?

230
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,960
My Lord, I've obtained
the Qilin Horn Resin.

231
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,880
Help! Help!

232
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,030
Kid, you'd better not meddle in this.

233
00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:47,750
Leave!

234
00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:51,750
Sir, if you save me,

235
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,830
I, Pei Jiya from Kun,
will be at your service!

236
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:21,440
Let's run!

237
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,080
[To My Rescuer]

238
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,590
Blood as the guide,
heed my command.

239
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,590
He can draw talismans,

240
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:19,960
and his techniques
are similar to my rescuer's.

241
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,200
Is Mei Zhuyu also connected
to Changxi Palace?

242
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,160
Demonic creatures

243
00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:17,510
deserve to be eradicated.

244
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,160
But I won't kill you.

245
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:24,350
I know that at the Incense Contest,

246
00:21:24,790 --> 00:21:27,160
you didn't intentionally
harm innocent people.

247
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,000
You chose An Biluo
to intimidate the crowd

248
00:21:32,510 --> 00:21:34,640
and stop them
from slaughtering living beings

249
00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:36,440
for their own selfish gains.

250
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,400
He has committed numerous crimes.

251
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,790
The law will deliver
the punishment he deserves.

252
00:21:42,550 --> 00:21:45,550
Fear will haunt him every night.

253
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,550
But you,

254
00:21:49,030 --> 00:21:50,310
your hatred runs deep.

255
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,110
Are you really going to
feed on resentment

256
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,510
for all eternity?

257
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,240
The stars
of the Supreme Mystery Platform,

258
00:22:06,590 --> 00:22:07,920
adapting to changes without form.

259
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,590
The mirror of stellar wisdom,

260
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:11,160
pacifying the six spirits.

261
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:12,440
Disperse.

262
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:41,270
It's you.

263
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Did... Did An Biluo do all this?

264
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:56,550
Yes.

265
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,920
For his own selfish desires,

266
00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:04,880
he harmed so many lives.

267
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:06,070
It's truly...

268
00:23:10,510 --> 00:23:11,830
Why are you here?

269
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,960
I recalled what An Biluo said
while possessed

270
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,000
and followed the clues here.

271
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,400
This is where he stayed two months ago.

272
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,350
I guess it's related
to the Incense Contest,

273
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,350
so I came to investigate.

274
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,550
Me too.

275
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,790
It's a pity

276
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,000
only these remains are left.

277
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,480
That's not true.

278
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,160
Upon hearing about the incident
at the Incense Contest,

279
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,310
Her Majesty was furious.

280
00:23:58,510 --> 00:24:00,680
She intended to issue an order
to permanently ban the Incense Contest.

281
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,200
Consort Mei and Princess Yuanzhen
persuaded her for a long time

282
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,160
before she changed her mind.

283
00:24:06,270 --> 00:24:08,400
The Incense Contest
is a grand event for the people.

284
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,440
It shouldn't be completely denied

285
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,830
just because of An Biluo.

286
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,160
Therefore, His Majesty has decreed

287
00:24:15,270 --> 00:24:15,790
that from now on,

288
00:24:15,790 --> 00:24:17,200
no incense made from ingredients

289
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,920
obtained through animal cruelty
may be used in the contest.

290
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Extravagance is also prohibited.

291
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:23,680
Piority should be given to incenses
that are affordable for common people.

292
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,350
An Biluo has been struck off the list
of the contest's participants.

293
00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:30,440
It's said that when he
left the city today, no one saw him off,

294
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,000
and a crowd chased him,
throwing vegetable leaves at him.

295
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,640
If this incident

296
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,480
can put an end to the extravagant trend

297
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680
among the young noblemen in the city

298
00:24:43,550 --> 00:24:47,200
who splurge on incenses,
valuing expense over quality,

299
00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:49,640
it will be a good thing.

300
00:24:49,790 --> 00:24:52,310
You and Her Majesty
are of the same mind.

301
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,790
Her Majesty is worried about you.

302
00:24:54,830 --> 00:24:56,920
She asks that you visit the palace
in the next couple of days.

303
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,350
I see.

304
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,640
What should I name you?

305
00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:08,270
A goose?

306
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,440
Goosey, goosey, goosey.

307
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,790
Goosey, goosey, goosey,

308
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,400
craning your neck, singing to the sky.

309
00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:17,000
White feathers on emerald waters,

310
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,920
red feet rippling the clear waves.

311
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:20,030
Zhen,

312
00:25:20,550 --> 00:25:22,350
your literary skills
have declined quite a bit.

313
00:25:22,350 --> 00:25:23,960
Should I get you a copy
of the "Three-Character Classic"

314
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,680
in a few days?

315
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,960
Mind your own business.

316
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:28,240
When did you get here?

317
00:25:28,510 --> 00:25:29,960
When you were reciting the goose poem.

318
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,550
Ms. Wu, are you naming that goose?

319
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,400
Naming the goose?

320
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,070
What, are you erecting a memorial for it

321
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,350
when it's time for soup?

322
00:25:40,790 --> 00:25:42,240
Watch your tongue.

323
00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:44,240
You're scaring my gosling.

324
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:45,920
Your son?

325
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Gosling.

326
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,030
That's its name.

327
00:25:50,550 --> 00:25:52,680
From now on, you are my gosling.

328
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,830
Your son?

329
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,830
Guess who I am!

330
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,510
Can't see me, can you?

331
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,750
Still can't see me?

332
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,920
Still invisible, right?

333
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,310
This is a new item

334
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,160
I acquired during my travels.

335
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,590
A master of sorcery.

336
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,200
specially sold me this invisible cloak.

337
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:25,440
Do you really think
this has anything to do with sorcery?

338
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:28,480
Let's not discuss that for now.

339
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:29,790
You...

340
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,720
I've only been traveling
for three months,

341
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:36,400
and I'm already a grandfather?

342
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,550
That was fast.

343
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,480
You.

344
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,400
You.

345
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:46,160
And you.

346
00:26:49,270 --> 00:26:49,920
Whose is this?

347
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:54,030
Uncle.

348
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,070
Mr. Wu.

349
00:26:59,830 --> 00:27:01,720
Mr. Wu, I, Mei Zhuyu, pay my respects.

350
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Good.

351
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,750
Those I see often,

352
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,830
those I haven't seen in ages,

353
00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:11,960
and

354
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,590
those I'm meeting for the first time.

355
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,200
Good.

356
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,110
If you hadn't come back,

357
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,200
I'd have thought
I no longer had a father.

358
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,550
I just heard

359
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,480
that two gentlemen
are staying at our place.

360
00:27:26,510 --> 00:27:28,030
The rumors

361
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,830
are swirling all over Chang'an.

362
00:27:30,510 --> 00:27:31,960
Everyone is placing bets.

363
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:35,750
I'm deeply concerned.

364
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:40,000
So you came back
just to enjoy the drama.

365
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:43,790
No, I was just
worried about you, sweetie.

366
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:45,830
So,

367
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,510
well,

368
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,310
which of these two
is my future son-in-law?

369
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,070
Father, which one do you prefer?

370
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:54,070
Me?

371
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:59,070
It's hard to choose.

372
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,160
Hard to choose?

373
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Well, hold your grandson.

374
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:09,720
Zhen.

375
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,960
Mr. Mei,

376
00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:20,270
what are your feelings about Zhen...

377
00:28:20,270 --> 00:28:20,960
Uncle,

378
00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:24,880
Mr. Mei is staying at the mansion
because of me.

379
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:26,960
And I have come to Chang'an

380
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,750
to propose to Zhen.

381
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,590
Hope you'll grant your permission.

382
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:52,310
Zhen.

383
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,750
Are you going to ask about Liu Taizhen?

384
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,480
What exactly happened to Ms. Liu?

385
00:29:04,550 --> 00:29:06,030
Why were you the one
who went to the Incense Contest?

386
00:29:06,750 --> 00:29:07,200
I thought

387
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,070
I'd have a chance to see her that day.

388
00:29:11,550 --> 00:29:13,510
Why are you so anxious to ask about her?

389
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:15,920
I've been copying the
Chronicles of the Uncanny lately.

390
00:29:16,590 --> 00:29:18,270
I wanted to finish it
and show it to her first.

391
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,030
Mr. Ling invited me to attend

392
00:29:22,270 --> 00:29:23,680
the Incense Contest that day.

393
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,790
As for Liu Taizhen...

394
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,160
She's sick.

395
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,400
Sick?

396
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,480
What's wrong with her?

397
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Is it serious?

398
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,310
Could she die? Has she seen a physician?

399
00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:36,070
Calm down.

400
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:36,960
She's fine.

401
00:29:37,310 --> 00:29:39,400
She's just not in Chang'an.

402
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:40,790
She...

403
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,110
She'll be back in about three days.

404
00:29:45,030 --> 00:29:46,960
In three days?

405
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,790
You unscrupulous cultivator.

406
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,480
You actually use dark arts to drain
the essence of that rabbit demon.

407
00:30:50,830 --> 00:30:52,960
Looks like another prey
has come knocking.

408
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,880
Make it quick.
Don't meddle in others' affairs.

409
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,550
Just asking about someone,

410
00:31:35,030 --> 00:31:36,680
and you're this impatient.

411
00:31:38,030 --> 00:31:40,830
- My Lord, what should we do now?
- My Lord, what should we do now?

412
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:44,350
Forget it.

413
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:47,160
After all, my rescuer taught me magic

414
00:31:47,310 --> 00:31:48,310
to make me stronger.

415
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,790
Since he's in a hurry,

416
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,960
let's attend to his matters first.

417
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,680
[Mei Mansion]

418
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,510
How can this be? It doesn't make sense.

419
00:32:02,110 --> 00:32:04,510
She seemed perfectly fine.

420
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:06,510
What are you muttering about?

421
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,110
Your pacing

422
00:32:08,110 --> 00:32:10,000
is making me dizzy.

423
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,350
Ms. Liu didn't attend
the Incense Contest.

424
00:32:13,070 --> 00:32:13,960
So what?

425
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,750
She looked perfectly healthy.

426
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,880
How could she suddenly fall ill?

427
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,310
You mortals have short lifespans.

428
00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:23,750
Falling ill is quite normal.

429
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,240
Do you demons

430
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,510
occupy someone's home?

431
00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:33,110
Demons have their own affairs
to attend to.

432
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,070
Why would we bother going to
mortal homes for no reason?

433
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,880
But you're in my home right now.

434
00:32:37,510 --> 00:32:39,110
I'm here to recover from my injuries.

435
00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:40,640
It's a special circumstance. Understand?

436
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:42,070
Fine, fine.

437
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,830
So, under special circumstances,

438
00:32:45,070 --> 00:32:47,160
you would occupy someone's home.

439
00:32:47,790 --> 00:32:48,830
Of course.

440
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Listen,

441
00:32:53,030 --> 00:32:56,030
I saw a huge white snake
at Ms. Liu's place.

442
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,030
A white snake?

443
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,350
As thick as a bucket
and three or four zhang tall.

444
00:33:02,830 --> 00:33:04,270
A white snake that huge

445
00:33:04,510 --> 00:33:05,750
must be a demon.

446
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Do you think Ms. Liu

447
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:09,880
fell ill because of

448
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,440
that white snake demon?

449
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,830
Well,

450
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,920
only seeing it would tell.

451
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,510
Are you saying

452
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,400
the Zhuan Fish demon
from the hot springs

453
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:30,680
and the little demons
from Massage Parlor

454
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:32,510
are competing for business?

455
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,200
I've heard that your place
has been quite lively recently.

456
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,960
You haven't even had time
to come to the Demon Market.

457
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,880
There are some matters
I don't know how to handle.

458
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,400
I want you to take a look.

459
00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:45,960
There are things even you can't handle?

460
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,480
I thought you were incredibly clever

461
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,590
and capable of anything, Mr. Shu.

462
00:33:54,270 --> 00:33:54,920
Wait.

463
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,000
I feel like Huzhu mentioned

464
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,720
this matter to me before.

465
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,070
Seems like it happened a long time ago.

466
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:04,680
Perhaps

467
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:06,830
they're arguing again.

468
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,080
These are the account books
for the hot springs

469
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:18,760
and the Massage Parlor.

470
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,440
Look them over with me.

471
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,840
Let's see where the problem lies.

472
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:26,840
I hate looking at account books.

473
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Arithmetic give me a headache.

474
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:44,840
[Liu Mansion]

475
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,280
It's this late already,
and she still isn't back.

476
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,920
Loach, you...

477
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,920
Hey, what are you doing?

478
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,880
Since she won't be back for a while

479
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,800
and they won't let you into the mansion,

480
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:04,150
why are you still waiting?

481
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,440
Why not take me out to explore?

482
00:35:06,670 --> 00:35:08,070
I've been stuck
at your place for so long.

483
00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:09,190
I'm bored.

484
00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:10,630
Where do you want to go?

485
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,000
Somewhere with food.

486
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,760
You?

487
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:15,960
You're not even as big as a pancake.
What are you going to eat?

488
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:22,230
No!

489
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,030
I... I'll take you there.

490
00:35:23,070 --> 00:35:25,030
I'll take you to eat.

491
00:35:27,030 --> 00:35:27,550
Eat.

492
00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:33,670
Chang'an

493
00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:35,440
isn't just full of local delicacies.

494
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:36,640
It also has rare flavors
from the Western Regions

495
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,400
and the Southern Borders.

496
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,670
Up ahead, there's lamb stew
and sliced ox intestine.

497
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,000
Of course, there's also
my favorite puff pastry.

498
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,360
This place serves
excellent chicken in wine sauce.

499
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:50,630
Hey, you...

500
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:51,440
Take care.

501
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:52,630
Wait, you...

502
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:53,230
Take care.

503
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,110
Where did this loach come from?

504
00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:02,150
Well...

505
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:03,360
Sir,

506
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,440
I'll take this one.

507
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,070
I just saw a loach climb onto it.

508
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:10,190
Let me get you another one.

509
00:36:10,190 --> 00:36:11,510
I want this one.

510
00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:13,960
Alright then.

511
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,150
Here you go.

512
00:36:17,230 --> 00:36:18,030
Thank you.

513
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:18,800
Take care.

514
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,190
Are you alright?

515
00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:22,550
He hit me on the head.

516
00:36:23,150 --> 00:36:24,760
He actually hit me on the head
with a colander!

517
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Count yourself lucky.

518
00:36:26,030 --> 00:36:27,800
Didn't you see he had a knife?

519
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,510
What kind of shop is this?

520
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,190
Why is it so dark?

521
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,400
This is an ink house.

522
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,590
They sell ink.

523
00:36:43,550 --> 00:36:45,800
This isn't to my taste.

524
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,320
It's not for eating.

525
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:49,840
It's for painting.

526
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,070
Painting?

527
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:53,280
I get it.

528
00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:56,070
This black ink is specially
for painting me, right?

529
00:36:57,550 --> 00:37:00,070
They couldn't capture
my heroic demeanor anyway.

530
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,150
I've run out of ink at home.

531
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:03,400
I came to buy some good quality ones.

532
00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:05,400
Sir.

533
00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:06,190
In a minute.

534
00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:11,880
Mei Si, long time no see.

535
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,880
I need some high-quality styrax ink.

536
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,840
What unfortunate timing.

537
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,320
A wealthy customer came by
a couple of days ago

538
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,110
and bought up all our finest ink.

539
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,000
All of it?

540
00:37:21,110 --> 00:37:21,880
Yes.

541
00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:24,110
Normally, we don't sell
even a single liang in months.

542
00:37:24,190 --> 00:37:26,440
But this time, it was all bought up.

543
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,630
I regret not stocking more.

544
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,400
But I urgently need ink.

545
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,550
Wait a moment.

546
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,920
Mei Si, if you're interested,
why not try this?

547
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,360
It's consigned here by someone else.

548
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,480
Look.

549
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,590
Rich texture, glossy as lacquer.

550
00:37:54,070 --> 00:37:56,920
This is definitely top quality.

551
00:37:59,630 --> 00:38:00,840
Top quality?

552
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,960
Absolutely.

553
00:38:02,190 --> 00:38:03,670
Better than styrax ink?

554
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:05,800
I'll take it.

555
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:06,590
Alright.

556
00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:12,840
Thank you, sir.

00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,400
Take care, Mei Si.

Qiangyijun.

559
00:39:13,550 --> 00:39:15,760
I finally have a moment with her today.

00:39:19,630 --> 00:39:21,360
Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself
showed up,

562
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,110
I wouldn't allow anyone to disturb us!
