[Episode 4] [Secrets in the Statue, The Three Powers Emerge]

This is Zhang Youjiao from the rural ghetto.

If you have questions,

ask him.

Zhang Youjiao,

have you seen a bear or a tiger lately?

Yes.

There was a white-fronted tiger with fierce eyes

who kept hurting people in the mountains last year.

Hunter Zhao encountered the tiger

and killed it.

Where's the remains of the tiger?

Well, the tiger's length was close to a man's height.

Hunter Zhao couldn't move the tiger himself,

so he asked a few hunters to help out.

We lifted the tiger with thick sticks

and managed to bring it down.

Hunter Zhao gave us

a decent amount of tiger meat afterward.

Do you know where Hunter Zhao lives?

Yes.

Lead the way. Let's go.

Please.

Isn't Xichuan supposed to be rich?

The rich people live in the inner city.

Residents here

cannot move to the inner city.

Frankly,

these people

are the city wall of Xichuan.

Does that mean

that if there's an invasion,

they'll take the hit first?

They are here for the Star Gold.

For windfalls.

That doesn't always pan out.

Those who failed to get rich

would have to come here and live in the ghetto.

I'll start boiling the medicine now.

Okay.

Poverty is not the main issue here.

The biggest issue

is that everyone here is suffering from sores.

No medicine is working for them,

and death is only fate for them.

Zhao, are you home?

Come inside.

Zhao,

these nobles from the Ma Gang

want to ask you about the white tiger you killed.

What do you guys want to know?

Ask away.

Hunter Zhao.

Let me ask you.

Where's the tiger you killed last year?

The meat became food.

As for the bones,

I heard that they can be used as medicines,

so I sold them to Zhang Mazi's plaster shop.

He said the Hua Tuo Tiger Bone Paste

made from that thing

can nourish the kidneys, and the waist and cure diseases.

If you don't believe me,

you can go ask him.

What I said is true.

Where did you go tonight?

I didn't go out.

I've been drinking here all along.

You didn't go to see the Nuo opera by the lake?

I don't believe in those things.

Okay.

Let's go.

Gentlemen.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

Mr. Zhang.

Do you know where Zhang Mazi is?

Yes.

Please show us the way.

Okay. This way.

Mr. Xubu. Gentlemen.

Why are you coming to see me so late?

Something wrong?

You're Zhang Mazi?

Yes.

And you sell the tiger bone paste?

Yes.

Many of the Ma Gang

have used

the Hua Tuo Tiger Bone Paste I made,

and they all praised it.

Is that so?

In that case,

take out the tiger bones and let me see.

Mr. Xubu.

That thing smells very bad.

I'm afraid you can't stand it.

It's better not to see it.

Shut your mouth.

Show it!

Alright.

Mr. Xubu.

That thing

is very valuable.

Let me think.

Oh, right.

I put it in the house.

Mr. Xubu, a moment.

He is about to run.

After him!

Well...

Let's go then.

Stop!

- Stop! - Stop!

Stop there!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop.

- Stop right there! - Stop!

Old brat.

Tell me.

Why are you running?

Mr. Xubu.

I...

Don't you want to see tiger bones?

I was thinking

about going back to get it for you.

If you don't want to run,

why fix your shoes?

I'm afraid you will wait for long.

I thought running

was faster.

Too much nonsense!

The murderer has been caught.

Take him.

Mr. Xubu.

You got me wrong.

I'm not a murderer.

Absconding. More serious.

Mr. Xubu.

I really didn't kill anyone.

I ran away

for the tiger bones I sold were fake.

I thought you had found that

and were going to punish me, so I ran.

Shut his mouth.

Take him back to jail.

Okay.

Xubu Huai.

I understand now.

You're looking for a scapegoat.

I'll hunt you down.

Mr. Xubu.

Calm down.

I think something he said

was true.

Let me ask.

He runs when I talk about the bones.

It must be him.

Let me question him first.

If it's really him,

it won't be late to catch him then.

Fu Sheng is right.

Sir.

Thank you for speaking up

for me.

Then, Zhang Mazi.

Tell me.

Why did you run?

I told you guys

Because the tiger bones I sell

are all fake,

they are all made from dog bones.

I sell them to Ma Gang...

Alright, alright.

Listen.

I'm saving you.

Just one chance, don't lie to me

How dare I lie to you?

I'm telling the truth.

How about this?

I'll take you to my house.

There are a lot of dog bones.

But I heard that

you got the tiger bones from Hunter Zhao last year.

Oh, yes, I did.

But I didn't use it.

I sold it.

Made a lot of money.

Who did you sell it to?

A medicine shop in the west of the city, Jizhi Hall.

[Jizhi Hall]

The tiger bones Zhang Mazi sold us

are all here.

I rarely use this thing.

I bought it more than a year ago,

and I only used a few ribs.

Fu Sheng.

You're amazing.

Though I've never seen a whole tiger bone,

I've dissected enough corpses.

I'm leaving for a while.

Fu Sheng.

You're amazing.

Why do you speak like her?

Man.

Are you sure that's all?

Is there a missing bone in the thigh?

I forgot it.

There was one missing thigh bone.

When we got it, there were only three.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

The prices of tiger bones vary.

When we buy them,

we calculate separately according to each part.

This thigh bone is the most expensive.

Wait.

See?

I wrote it down.

Three thigh bones.

[Eight tibia bones, Three thigh bones]

Okay.

Please.

[Jizhi Hall]

My friends, I will take my leave now.

Fu Sheng.

You look energetic. You found a clue?

It is indeed something happy.

But I have to keep you in suspense now.

Don't even tell me?

It's a secret. No rush.

Gu Tian.

You run fast.

Go over there

and get that Fangxiang's mask.

I've been following you all day.

You are the fastest runner

among us.

This is what I like to hear.

Alright.

Isn't it just running errands?

Wait for me.

Why do you want the mask?

Told you it's a secret.

You'll find out later.

So stingy.

Right.

I hate those who keep things in suspense.

So what?

It means he's smart.

Not like you.

You don't get it either.

I...

Fu Sheng, what on earth are you doing?

Nothing.

Then what are you looking at?

You'll see in a moment.

Let's die together, Hunter Zhao.

Give me your life.

Give me your life!

Give me your life!

I've already killed you.

I killed you!

You can't take my life.

- Come take me! - So you admit it!

Get them.

You...

What evidence do you have?

When Wen Jue asked you

where you went tonight,

you said you had been drinking all night.

I doubted it.

If you really had been at home all night,

then why was the oil in the lamp

so full?

You want

to punish me for this?

This alone

cannot punish you.

This is just one of the things I doubt.

You confessed that

you sold the tiger bones to Zhang Mazi.

You must have thought that

his business was booming,

and he sold so many plasters every day

that the tiger bones must have been used up long ago.

But you missed something.

Zhang Mazi

is a pure profiteer.

What he usually sells

is not tiger bone paste,

but dog bone paste.

He sold the tiger bones

to Jizhi Hall.

Tiger bones are very potent

and expensive.

Jizhi Hall only used

a few ribs in a year.

That's why we got to know

that the tiger

is missing a thigh bone.

Maybe

Zhang Mazi lost it when reselling it.

This

has nothing to do with me.

You are right.

But the key

lies in this cabinet in your house.

Help me.

I found this leather glove

in your cabinet.

There is some white powder on it.

I guess

it is the leftovers from your grinding of tiger bones.

There are some similar powders

on this arrow.

If I am not mistaken,

this is an arrow made of tiger bones.

Now that

the evidence

is here,

what else do you have to say?

Good!

In that case,

I am not afraid to tell you

I killed him.

Why did you do this?

I killed him

because he deserved to die.

But I regret it now.

I regret that

I didn't kill all the people

in Ma Gang.

Do you want to die?

Tell me why.

Stop pretending.

Don't you know?

It's all your Ma Gang's fault

that the pestilence devil was born

in this lake,

and the lake water has become poisonous.

There is

no other drinking water nearby,

so we can only drink the poisonous water.

We ask Fangxiang to drive away the devil every year,

but what about my family?

They have already died of poison!

Now

I am deeply poisoned

and won't live long.

Did he drive away the devil?

Since he can't drive away the pestilence devil,

and can't save the lives of my family,

I might as well

take him with me.

What a pity.

I thought

no one would know

if I used bone arrows to kill.

But I didn't expect

you'd see right through it.

It's you!

You...

you're so confused.

What trick did you just play?

It's not a trick.

That's shadow puppetry.

Even the emperor enjoys it.

You are really amazing.

A shadow made him confess everything.

As the saying goes,

A clear conscience

laughs at false accusations

This shadow shouldn't scare you.

That's right.

What do you mean?

Take it.

I believe trouble clings to you.

We just arrived in Xichuan,

haven't even entered the gate,

and you've caused a such trouble.

If Wen Jue hadn't arrived in time,

we would have died here.

So you just had a fight with someone?

I was protecting you.

Don't be ignorant.

Well.

Thank you, Mr. Gu for saving my life.

I think

it's not just that simple.

I did see you by the Xiangshui Lake,

but you disappeared soon.

I was afraid

we wouldn't make a big enough scene

and you wouldn't notice us.

I knew it.

With your little courage,

you must have hugged Xubu Huai's leg and shouted,

"Help me".

If you didn't find us,

that's exactly what I was going to do.

Hurry up.

Sir, wait.

I would like to know

if the water in Xiangshui Lake

is really poisoned.

The residents living nearby had sores on their faces

because the lake water was poisonous.

In that case,

I have a request,

and I hope you can do me a favor.

I want to taste the lake water.

Fu Sheng, are you insane?

He's the Crazy Fu.

If he's not crazy, who is?

I'm also a physician.

I want to see if I can cure the poison.

Alright.

Let's go.

He said alright. Go.

This

[Jibei Chamber of Commerce]

[Song Jingye, Chairman of Jibei Chamber of Commerce]

Chairman, may everything go well for you.

Wait.

What are you doing?

You tell me.

I...

There's dog shit on my feet.

What are you shouting about?

Dog shit means good luck.

Wish you success in every step.

[Sun Siming, Horse Slave]

[Jibei Chamber of Commerce]

Why is he still drinking?

Don't worry.

You don't believe in his skills?

The water is not poisonous.

No way.

Come on.

People who live near the lake and drink the water

have been poisoned to varying degrees.

Can't you see my face?

Now you say the water is not poisonous.

You think we are fools?

I just drank this water,

and it's not poisonous.

How is it possible?

No...

Mr. Xubu.

Except for drinking the water,

what else do the villagers do together?

The people living nearby

would go to worship

Fangxiang's statue every day

and wash their faces with the holy water from the Holy Pool.

What is the Holy Pool?

There.

[Maintain Your Position by Restraint]

Why did you call me here?

I've been busy lately.

The Chamber of Commerce entrusted you

with issuing the bounty this year.

Is everything going well?

I've got a lot of rare treasures.

Please help us take a look

when you have some free time.

I don't have that time.

I trust your vision.

[Li Zhizhuo, Vice Chairman of Jibei Chamber of Commerce]

But

I heard that when the bounty was issued,

you added a jade plate.

Is that true?

I didn't look at the list this time,

but these things

are all useful.

Each item can be sold at a good price.

That's fine.

You came all the way from the city

just to ask me this?

Zhizhuo.

The Jibei Chamber of Commerce

was founded by me, Song Jingye.

I'm just asking about some affairs of it.

I think that's not too much, eh?

Chairman.

You are too serious.

Of course, you can ask whatever you want.

This is the Holy Pool.

Where does this water come from?

Every time it rains,

the rainwater accumulates in this pool,

and the residents living nearby

use the water to wash their faces.

Why is the color of the water

so strange?

The statue's spiritual body was just coated.

The rain washed it off.

What do you mean by coating its spiritual body?

It means it is repainted.

Painting is painting.

Why the spiritual thing?

I found the source of the poison.

The water in Xiangshui Lake is not poisonous,

but the water in the Holy Pool is.

Is the water poisonous?

Fu Sheng, you okay?

The poison is the red paint on the statue.

Nonsense!

You are desecrating god.

This holy water flows into the pool through the golden body of the statue.

Yes.

It has already been blessed by divine power.

How could it be poisonous?

Right.

I think this young physician

knows nothing

and is just a charlatan!

- He's just a charlatan! - Yeah, a charlatan!

Nonsense.

Silence, all of you!

Kid.

Are you sure the red paint is poisonous?

Absolutely yes.

And I can cure

this poison.

Alright.

I trust you.

You all think this red paint is not poisonous.

Who dares to try it?

Who?

That's right.

I...

Let me try.

If this red paint is really poisonous,

it would save your Ma Gang the trouble

of beheading me.

He's poisoned.

He...

The source of the poison

is really the red paint of the statue?

The thing we prayed for every day

would become our death warrant.

Look!

He's already poisoned.

He's dying.

It must be the chamber.

Chairman.

Vice Chairman.

What's going on?

Ma Gang found the source of the poison tonight near Xiangshui Lake,

which was the red paint on the statue.

They won't find out

it was us who poisoned them, right?

I have no clue.

Prepare the carriage.

Let's go to Ma Gang now.

Yes.

I'll prepare the troops right now.

The Ma Gang guys are tired of living.

Chairman.

They ordered us to find

where the jade plate is as soon as possible.

If it is that easy to find,

why would they look for us?

Right.

Let's not talk about this first.

The old guy inside

seemed to be getting suspicious.

Then shall we...

Don't alarm him yet.

You keep an eye on it.

Tell your men to make things clean.

Got it.

Open your mouth.

How do you feel?

It works.

It really works!

This poison can really be cured!

- Yeah. - Right.

In that case,

we can be saved.

Right!

Miracle physician.

Living Bodhisattva.

Miracle physician.

Save our lives.

Fellows.

You don't have to do this.

Rise up.

I will do my best to save you all.

Thank you, miracle physician!

Thanks.

Thank you.

We're counting on you.

You're our lifeline.

Hunter Zhao, are you insane?

- Stop! - He's gone mad.

What?

You are afraid that doing this

will desecrate the gods, right?

Have you all forgotten?

How many people

have been poisoned by this statue?

Do you have to leave it

to kill more people?

Wake up.

Today.

If it weren't for this miracle physician,

who knows how many people would have died.

Yeah, you're right.

We can't keep this statue.

We can't.

It is a disaster.

Let's push it down!

Yes!

Push it!

The water must be boiled before drinking,

or you'll have loose bowels.

Don't stay in the water for too long,

or you'll catch a cold.

Leave them.

They are just too happy.

The Chamber of Commerce is here.

Run!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Chairman, god bless you.

Who is this guy? Such a grand presence.

The chairman of Jibei Chamber of Commerce,

Song Jingye.

He is Song Jingye?

Well, well.

Chairman Song,

what brought you here?

I should have gone to greet.

Sorry.

What brought us here?

Of course it's you, Ma Gang.

I'm not talking to you.

Where's your leader, Che Hujue?

Of course, he's in the city.

You knew it. Why do you ask?

Chairman.

You brought so many people to my place,

what do you mean?

Is this the person who solved the water poisoning?

The so-called poison in Xiangshui Lake

is just a cover-up.

Now that this cover has been exposed,

is the Chairman very disappointed?

What do you mean?

What does this have to do with the Chairman?

Instead, you Ma Gang

smashed the statue.

Aren't you afraid of being haunted by the pestilence devil?

Vice Chairman was so anxious to interrupt,

maybe you had already known the water was not poisonous,

and the poison was in the statue?

Could it be that

Vice Chairman had someone apply this poisonous paint?

Xubu Huai.

You have no evidence,

so stop slandering me here.

I slander you?

You really think no one knows

what your Chamber of Commerce did?

When you couldn't get the water source,

you came up with this dirty trick.

You painted the statue with poison paint

and poisoned the people

just to force us away

so that you can monopolize the mining rights of the Star Gold.

Do you dare to admit it?

Xubu Huai said

the water source?

What does it mean?

It all started

when the two gangs were fighting.

Everyone knows

the mine outside Xichuan City

is rich in a kind of precious mineral

called Star Gold.

Ma Gang and the Chamber of Commerce

were attracted here by the gold.

In order to mine, the two gangs

were stationed on both sides of the mine

and shared the Xiangshui Lake.

But, over time,

the friction between the two gangs continued to intensify,

and finally

a battle for water sources broke out.

Ma Gang

won a great victory in that battle.

When cleaning the battlefield,

Ma Gang buried their men,

and in order to intimidate the chamber,

they piled up all the bodies

of the Chamber of Commerce by the lake,

forming a mountain of corpses.

That's too much.

The mountain of corpses was piled there for days,

and the residents did not dare to fetch water.

Everyone was complaining,

wondering how long

Ma Gang would leave the bodies there.

Leader.

When are we going to remove these bodies?

Every time our men walk past here,

they cough so hard they almost throw up.

The smell is unbearable.

The people living nearby

don't dare to come here to get water.

They often come to our door to make trouble.

Let them make.

When they are too thirsty to survive,

they will come to fetch water

whether there are bodies or not.

Two days passed,

the residents who really had no water

decided to go get some water.

When they came to the lake,

they found that the mountain of bodies had gone,

and instead,

there were bodies floating all over the lake.

It suddenly

started to rain from that day on,

and it rained heavily for several days,

and it looked like a flood was about to happen.

The people said

it must be the Ma Gang,

which aggravated the resentment here

and gave birth to the pestilence devil.

It is said that the pestilence devil

often appears in the waters of rivers and lakes,

spreading plague

and bringing disasters.

As long as bad guys take advantage of it,

I'm afraid this rumor can spread like wildfire.

You're right.

This rumor soon reached Ma Gang.

They also began

to be afraid.

They invited a strange man

who claimed to be able to connect with the will of Fangxiang.

Only by using the power of Fangxiang to suppress the evil

could the rain be stopped.

Ma Gang also erected a statue of Fangxiang

at the location of the original body mountain.

Miraculously,

with the suppression of the Fangxiang statue,

the rain

actually stopped.

Ma Gang believed in this strange man

and invited him to perform the Nuo dance every year to eliminate disasters.

He also ordered Ma Gang

to repaint the statue with red paint

and opened a pool in front of the statue,

saying that rain is rootless water.

In the future, when it rains again,

the rain will hit the statue

and it will be purified and blessed.

The people can wash their faces with rainwater in the pool

to remove bad luck.

Then what?

Then,

the pestilence devil seemed to live in Xiangshui Lake.

From then on, the lake water became poisonous,

and drinking it would cause poisoning.

Actually,

the residents are just

victims of this dispute.

They have done nothing wrong,

they just want to live.

If I'm not mistaken,

you also sent Fangxiang here.

You send men to paint the statue with poison paint every year,

isn't it just to deepen their resentment

towards us?

Xubu Huai.

You keep talking nonsense.

Do you want to start a war?

Let's fight. I'm not afraid of you.

Guys!

Get ready.
