Original subtitles

Deputy officer,

for the sake of the history between Wu and Zhang families

the Wu family has done its part

Can you tell me now,

what you and Xie have done?

Er bai,

you are proclaimed the most cunning in the world

can't you figure it out?

Don't you play with me,

I'll kick these two out if you stay zipped

This is nothing to do with me

I don't know him

You kick him out,

it's your loss

This is just my favor for Xie

If you did,

it's all good to me

We still don't know Xie's dead or alive

and the Wu family is in a tenuous situation

Er bai, are you sure to do this?

You can bear another one,

if one nephew died

we can have another one

Wait,

I'm innocent

Stop

Even the Old Three didn't get anything out back then,

and now he's gone, I want my grandson back

Mom, we spoiled Xie

I have you three

Same input but different outcomes

This is called destinies,ok?

mom,

Kid,

What's your name?

I'm Wu XIaomao

Stop playing around

I'm Li Cu

You guys will stay here

and lie low

Come, come with me

Just a second,

You stay, kid.

I have something to say to you

Me?

Yeah, you.

This place has long been idled

Please bear with it

This place belongs to Xie's third uncle

My son, he never got homesick

he just loved to go away

Don't be too sad

it's just a man

he's not the only fish in the ocean

Granny, I don't know what you mean

I am old

not blind

I can tell there is something between you and deputy officer Zhang

It's been so many generations for the Zhang family

he's just used to this world and the people,

truth and lies

he just can't easily express himself

he didn't need to...

didn't need to treat me like that

he's not being rough on you

he's being rough on himself

Why cry

nothing, just a bit achy from the spray

You asked me to stay to watch you playing with your phone?

If I knew you were so useless,

I'd choose Su Wan and Yang Hao instead

You know them?

Not just acquaintance

we know each other very well

So you're the one making human-skin masks

You know well

So what is it between you and Wu Xie?

this is the final payment

pass code?

the day you came out of the desert

Granny

I really appreciate your help

You're welcome

I have personal beef with that little foxtrel

Li Cu,

let me ask you something

you have to be honest with me

Is Wu Xie your father?

I don't know what this kid has done these years

I guess

he met someone

I just don't understand why wouldn't he tell me

I'm at this kind of age already

why would I vote against him

kid,

You remind me of Wu Xie

at the first sight I saw you

Tell me the truth, kid

Granny

You're my granny,

but Wu Xie truly isn't my father

Wu Shan Ju is really huge

This used to be a tiny house

Generations have dwelt here

as our population grew

we built more houses

let me show you around

This is Wu Xie's room

Wu Xie said,

he wrote everything he was going to do in his life

on this wall

this is a decade calendar

Yes.

And it's almost time, isn't it?

Come, take a sit

Let me tell you something,

Li Cu,

the reason I brought you here,

is not just to chat

most importantly, I want you to know

what kind of person is Wu Xie

Take a look

at this album

he seemed to be happy then

yes

but in recent years,

he's been preoccupied

Who are these two people?

These are his best friends

These boys have caused quite some trouble

others have entitled them

the "Iron Triangle"

Li Cu,

I'd like you to know,

if Wu Xie ever asks you for help,

I wish that you can trust him

even more,

I believe he'll be back

Will I ever see him again?

Of course

otherwise

why would he ask you to come here?

This is his home

he asked you to take his place and visit home

There, you rest up

Ok

Oh and,

here

rest up

Ok

"innocent"

You think he might be in danger

by going alone?

Can you stop thinking at about it?

We helped him beat and get rid of the mummy

We did our part ok?

You're absolutely right

We've done enough

Here, Su Wan

let's toast for us being loyal

Hao,

let's toast for allegiance and our friendship in hardship

Hello

What? A package?

What now?

Hao, more packages have arrived

Granny

what is this place?

Wu Xie once told me,

if he ever sent someone

I'd bring them to this place

I'll turn up the lights

How come there are so many memorial tablets?

This is a temple for the Jiu Men

Granny

what exactly is Jiu Men?

Jiu Men used to be

nine clans

they were bonded together

people refer them as the Old Jiu Men

At the flourish times

they took up more than half of the city of Chang Sha

Then what happened?

What happened to Jiu Men?

They all went on their own paths

and built their own enterprises

but these were not always good people

they stayed in touch

only for the sake of their family histories

Granny,

why are the dates on the plates all the same?

all dated to August 4th, 1945?

And why are all plates

have only family names but no given names?

Things happened too fast

we didn't have time to collect all their names

that's why the plates are like this

What happened too fast?

Gu Tongjing

Back then, The Buddha Zhang

gathered hundres of people from Jiu Men

traveled to Gu Tongjing and started some kind of project

I still have no idea what kind of project it was till this day

They all died in Gu Tongjing

Yes

therefore, Gu Tongjing became an mystery

buried and sealed in the desert

You see

we built this big temple

to commemorate those who died

But we still don't know how they died

The dead are gone, and the living remains

Gu Tongjing

has since then become a taboo for the Jiu Men people

we have a common acknowledgement

no one touches Gu Tongjing ever again

I thought no one would ever bring it up

until I die

and yet

Wu Xie

The Old Jiu Men is gone

the Jiu Men Association keeps the taboo

I don't know what was on Wu Xie's mind

he had to go for the taboo

now the Association holds him as a liability

which is expected

why would he keep this from you?

he has his own reasons

But as Wu Shanju and Qiong Qi Company

been pushed to the edge

I don't know how long we can hold it

Kid,

Please assist Wu Xie in whatever way you can

I bow to you

for Wu Xie, thank you

Please don't

Kid

now that I've bowed

you should know better

what to do in the future

ok

right here

here

Over there, so messy

can't you see it

You spit the same time I sweep

can I ever clean it up?

You think you can stay at Wu Shanju for free?

I didn't say that

I'll pay the rent alright

You can only pay the rent

by sweeping the floor

For a big yard like this one you're staying in,

it costs at least one week of sweeping

Come again?

Screw you

This is how you treat your savior?

Don't give me that

I have nothing to do with all these

just had to escape from that crazy woman

and I got pepper sprayed for no reason

where do I find justice for my sufferings

Let me ask,

do you know Mr. Zhang?

No

You love birds

unbelievable

I respect you to be righteous and manly

why do you talk like a sissy

To be honest,

If Jin Shangzhu's sister knew

about the thing between you and Mr. Zhang

they won't spare you

I'll go feed the dogs

You go and tell Li Cu to get up and have breakfast

Wait,

Where is he

Sleeping, I think?

He's sleeping,

and you asked me to sweep?

You're the big sister

just do it for your little brother, eh?

don't be so lazy

how did Mr. Zhang fall for someone like you?

I...

everyone mistreats me huh?

Yo, kid

get up and do chores now

What,

pretend you don't know me?

No

You know me whenever you like

you pretend to not know me whenever you don't like

I can be like this too

Whether we knew each other or not

we'll be like we do

Help me then

So,

how are your eyes

They're not hurting

my heart is

Aren't you a doctor?

get some pills for yourself

Actually, I know

you might have your own reasons

but you could have told me beforehand

I couldn't

I de-friended you

It's ok if you don't like me

and I'm fine with you breaking up with me

I won't bother you, why defriend me

Why so stingy

What do you want?

Do me a favor

Nope

I knew it

I knew you'd be here

Follow me

I'll show you a place

What are these

Things that Jiu Men need to support their livelihood

What is this place?

I have my reasons to bring you here

just follow

And what is this place now?

The hardest place to find in the world

Seen these before?

Of course. This is the black-hair snake

and this is the octopus tree

It almost took my life

to lure this thing out

I know them

even if they turn into ashes

but

why are they here

Have you seen the iron buckets in Gu Tongjing?

Those buckets,

were delivered here?

Yes

most of them

So what exactly are these stuff?

The way you pry into everything

is just like Wu Xie

No thanks, I'll amend myself

Just remember,

I went through all this trouble to bring you here

you have to keep it a secret, alright?

Wait, wait, wait

I sense there's some bad thing coming up

You'll just have to remember,

Once you walk out of here,

don't trust anyone

what are you asking me to do?

Find the tenth family who disappeared

The tenth?

Aren't there nine families in Jiu Men?

This one,

is the most furtive and extreme

they're responsible

for the holocaust in Gu Tongjing

and now

they've infiltrated and watched us

The last generation of Jiu Men has kept quiet about them

thus people from this generation

don't believe in their existence

What are they?

In order to shake them off

Wu Xie has suggested

to find an outsider

to carry out a cleasing project

This family is the Wang family

and this person

is me

is me

You might ask

why you

it doesn't matter now

Huang Yan, Wu Xie and you guys

have chosen me from the beginning

haven't you?

Let me explain to you this way,

have you read Gu Long's novels?

Of course

If I were to announce to the whole world

the Nine Yin Manual was in your hand

however you denied it,

the whole world wouldn't believe you, would it?

No

So now, you,

me,

Wu Xie

and the whole Jiu Men Association

there's no way back for us

But you shall not worry,

as we will protect you as much as we can

However, once the project begins

we can't stop

That means,

the project won't halt until we defeat the Wang family

Not just defeat, but completely wipe them out

Or we're defeated by them

The only thing you'll need to remember right now,

is do not trust anyone

once you walk out of here

remember

anyone

Wait, the Nine Yin Manual was actually written by Jin Yong

After all the things I've told you,

you can still tell Gu Long from Jin Yong,

not bad for someone picked by Wu Xie

You can show yourself out

Hello?

Where are you?

What's wrong

Come back quickly

more caskets have arrived

Don't touch anything

and don't let anyone see them,

wait for me

there's actually this kind of tech

how can it be so much alike

How can you not be a gentleman?

What do you want?

Do me a favor

Nope

Are you sure?

Fine,

just spit it out

I'll see if I'm up to it

I'll need to be gone for a couple of hours

You'll impersonate me

during this time

stay in Lou Wailou

and don't let anyone find out that I'm gone

Zhang Rishan, are you kidding me?

I'm serious

I impersonate you?

We have nothing in common

except we're both human

You don't need to worry about this

I have my own way

I'll use human-skin mask

to help you

but since you've never learnt voice transformation

you'll just need to stay quiet

throughout these couple hours

Wow

so handsome

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I'm Zhang Rishan

Liang Wan

I adore you

I heard woman's voice

time for lunch

Greetings, Mr. Zhang!

Lunch is ready, please have a seat

I'm sorry, this loge is occupied already

Back off

wanna stay in business or not?

President Zhang, such a small world
