Brother.

What happened to you?

Search.

Yes, sir.

Brother.

Wake up, brother.

What happened to you?

Brother.

Brother.

You can't leave me behind!

Brother.

Who dares to make trouble

in the capital of Chechi Kingdom?

Honey,

call your sisters out

to warm my brother up.

You bad man.

Pick one.

She's coming, she's coming.

Young man,

are you here to buy drinks...

or another kind of pleasure?

I want to buy words from the dead.

Ask your boss, here.

How dare you try to enjoy Hongxiu House free of charge!

Looking to lose your balls?

Somebody!

Here.

Get up.

You're gonna learn a lesson today.

I swear I won't do it again!

Your Excellency,

if you wanted to see me, why not come to my room?

I have to come to you.

You're the boss?

I'm Qiukui.

I manage all the girls here.

Is there a fatty

working as a waiter here?

Men come here for girls,

not for waiters.

But we do have a fatty working as a guard.

What's wrong?

He died.

You must be kidding.

He was just fishing with Ludan yesterday.

Who is Ludan?

He's a waiter here.

Usually, he's pretty playful.

Besides this place,

does he have any other residence?

Do you suspect

he could have killed Fatty?

I'll live here before we find him.

Fatty.

Fatty.

Fatty.

Take my fish.

Let's go now.

I don't want my sister to punish me.

Fatty.

What are you doing?

I'm talking to you.

Leave now.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Are you hungry?

How about getting some food later?

Hey.

I just had a dream.

I dreamed that Ludan was bewitched.

It's just a dream.

But it's what I dreamed would happen.

You're from Khotan Kingdom?

Hey, people from Khotan Kingdom talk to spirits.

What's your relationship with Ludan on earth?

He's my younger brother.

He is your real brother?

We've depended on each other since childhood.

He's my only relative in the world.

Please, help me save him.

Is it enough, boss?

I get inside?

Do I sit in it, or lie in it?

Should I be naked?

Can you really save my brother if I take this bath?

Trust me.

Get out.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Submerge your head in the water, as well.

Baimen Five Martial Arts.

Magic Art.

Only by being at death's door

can your enchanted eyes be opened, through your blood kin.

Magic Art.

Ba.

Boss.

Boss.

Are you okay?

By the river.

The fish is hooked.

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Boss.

What's so special about Ludan?

You even risked your life, playing Magic Art.

He's the key to solving this case.

Bigger secrets might hide beyond this.

Besides,

he's not just gripped by mere hysteria.

Be careful.

Yes.

Life comes first.

Boss.

That's the smell.

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Ba.

Gee!

Boss, don't touch him.

Watch out.

You hadn't smelled it?

Who did this to him?

Besides us,

there's others after him?

He's just a kid.

Something seemed to be controlling him.

This case is so weird.

I'll report it to His Excellency Wuma.

Magic Art.

Go find His Excellency Wuma.

Hey, you weird old man,

why do you keep so many bugs?

To make bug soup

to treat your boss' s cough.

Can they cure my boss?

Curing his illness...

will depend on Baimen Five Martial Arts.

Liar.

Baimen Five Martial Arts are martial arts, not medical skills.

In Baimen Five Martial Arts,

Speed, Attack, and Shield Arts

are physical training skills.

Only Magic Art depends on talent.

In this world,

it's almighty.

But it causes great harm to the body,

so it's forbidden.

His Excellency Ge suffers from

the frequent use of Magic Art

by rebelling against the laws of nature.

How about another art?

Killing Art is the most profound

of the Baimen Five Martial Arts.

When using it,

one can draw thunder and hellfire,

and concentrate inner and outer energy on the body.

But if he overextends himself,

he will die with the enemy.

Only Twelve Shadow Guards

know the complete skills of Baimen Five Martial Arts.

Boss.

His Excellency Weiyang

only taught you four Martial Arts

in spite of the Kill Art.

What does he mean?

His Excellency Ge's four martial arts

were not taught by Weiyang,

but were stolen.

So he becomes ill.

Cut the crap.

Twelve Shadow Guards are half gods.

It's not wrong for our boss

to have such an ambition.

It sounds awesome.

They're merely twelve walking dead men.

They're arranged according to the zodiac.

They will be on duty every 12 years.

The rest of the time,

they are separate from the world.

What half god?

What's the difference between them and ghosts?

Doctor Jia,

watch your tongue.

Here.

Look at this.

Besides Fatty's corpse,

I found a bloody stone

on which this strange pattern was painted.

It looks evil.

You want to join the Twelve Shadow Guards

by solving this case?

I'm not yearning for that position.

I just feel I've let my master down,

so I want to solve more cases

to restore his fame.

I'll search it, if you drink my medicine.

Boss,

you don't take the medicine?

Bye.

My gun...

What's up?

You've saved Ludan.

I don't know how to thank you.

So...

I did this for the case,

not for you.

I may have saved Ludan,

but he's lost his memory.

It's meaningless for me to stay here.

I'm leaving.

Leave me alone.

In this kingdom,

the men who saw me

all wanted to sleep with me.

Your Excellency,

why are you so shy?

Are you...

I only like wine,

not beauty.

I've always wanted to marry a great hero.

But it turns out you're just a coward.

Fine.

You want a drink so badly,

let's drink. You and me.

I drugged this wine.

Do you dare to drink it?

I'm not afraid of anything

but longevity.

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Who are you?

I'm Conqueror.

Bravo! Bravo!

Good skills.

Bravo! Bravo!

Son of a bitch.

Playing a trick to cheat me?

If you don't behead a man today,

I'll behead all of you!

Run!

Murder!

Murder!

Murder!

Murder!

Brother.

What happened to you?

Search.

Yes, sir.

Brother.

Wake up, brother.

What happened to you?

Brother.

Brother.

You can't leave me behind!

Brother.

Who dares to make trouble

in the capital of Chechi Kingdom?

Since you've drunk my wine,

you're my man.

When I was eight years old,

my dad sold Ludan and me

to this Hongxiu House

for two copper coins.

Just two cooper coins.

If you give me two copper coins,

I will marry you.

Marry you.

Boss, there have been accidents on the drama stage.

General Wuma...

Go.

I'm waiting for you.

Go.

Wait.

Stay behind.

Me?

Protect her.

Hey, I...

I...

Your Excellency Wuma.

Your Excellency Wuma.

Your Excellency Wuma.

Although I've used all five martial arts,

I still can't avoid this.

Who?

Baersi.

You want to hurt me?

You are so naïve.

What do you wear around your neck?

You shouldn't be aware of such things.

Go to hell.

Wake Weiyang in the Shadow Guard's Tomb.

Go find your master.

Baersi,

we can't defeat him alone.

Senior fellow apprentice?

Impossible.

He's not very capable.

Mystical treasure.

Your Excellency Wuma.

He's there!

Ge Zhen killed General Wuma!

Catch him.

Yes.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Search for him carefully.

Find Ge Zhen at all costs.

You go there.

Yes.

You go there.

Yes.

Search each corner carefully.

Don't let Ge Zhen get away.

You're wanted everywhere.

Drink it.

I'm afraid it's not strong enough.

I'll go, and fight hard.

You're tough.

Who'd dare to fight you?

Baersi killed General Wuma

in some unknown way.

Did he...

get the mystical treasure?

General Wuma did mention a mystical treasure before he died.

I thought it was a rumor.

Does it really exist?

Yes. But more than that,

I'm afraid

you've made contact

with a truly evil thing.

Isn't that the pattern Fatty painted?

It's a yin mystical treasure.

It can bestow infinite power,

but also destroy people's will

and turn them into devils.

Is Baersi invincible?

I'm not sure.

General Weiyang

leads the Twelve Shadow Guards.

As long as you join hands with him,

you might beat him.

Master is cultivating the underground palace.

It's not the time for him to stop his work.

It seems there's no other way.

Boss. Boss.

What's up?

Something happened.

Baersi caught Qiukui away.

Why did he catch Qiukui?

I don't know.

Give me stronger medicine.

It seems I have to fight to the death.

Life Corrupting Pill.

Corrupt others' lives

and your own life.

Break.

You are not possessed by it.

It's you.

It seems that the rumor of human spirit is real.

Fine.

Seven days later,

on the night of the full moon,

I'll be a god.

Your Excellency, are you willing

to kill your junior fellow apprentice?

How can you know

my junior fellow apprentice

will come here for sure?

Save time. Show your skills together.

Boss,

you ran too fast.

You don't wait for me to get changed.

It'll be too late then.

It seems...

I have to kill more people today.

I can't let you shine alone.

It depends on your ability.

What do you want to do?

From her, I know

your junior fellow apprentice

has taken to her.

Since he has a lover,

he can die without regret.

Is it worth it?

Dying for a prostitute?

I took a Life Corrupting Pill on the way here

to see you off

in this world.

Not if I see you off first!

Devil,

you opponent is me.

Ge Zhen, wake up.

Let's end this relationship

of learning from the same master.

No.

Now. Take him away first.

Life comes first.

You're ruining my plan.

Kill all the thieves

in the rest of my life.

Ba.

Ba.

Where is Ba?

Ba.

Leave now.

Leave.

Ba.

Dry lake.

At the end of the dry lake.

East.

I will take you to your master.

But you must promise to stay alive.

I had a dream as a child.

In my dream, a hero always guarded me.

I tried hard to look at him,

but I could never see his face.

All these years,

I was never afraid of what would happen.

Because I knew,

when I needed him,

he would show up

to shelter me

and marry me.

You can't leave me alone.

I just met you,

I have so much to say to you.

You have to survive.

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Qiukui.

Wuma should be on duty,

why did you wake me up in advance?

It might kill me.

General Wuma

is dead.

Who killed him?

Baersi.

The mystical treasure does exist.

I've pressed back your illness.

Thank you, Master.

What's wrong with your face?

Someone tried to prevent me coming here.

Gee!

Gee!

Qiukui.

Women follow their husbands.

I married a hero. I'm not leaving.

I'm brave.

Then I'll owe you two copper coins.

I know you're poor.

I won't dislike you.

After the fight,

go back to sell your asshole in Hongxiu House.

You must earn more.

Wait for me.

Dear horse,

carry her back.

Gee!

Master,

how have you been?

Baersi,

I raised you.

I don't want to see you on a road to ruin

as a devil.

Since you brought me up,

It seems like I should bury you.

Do you realize...

this mystical treasure will ruin your will?

So what?

What I want is power.

After I become a god,

I can ruin you

and Chechi Kingdom.

I saw Wuma's Kill Art.

He died with an ugly look.

You ended your cultivation in advance.

You've only just recovered half of your martial arts strength.

Are you sure

you can beat me?

No.

I'm killing you.

His eight major blood vessels have been enclosed.

Attack him at his eight major acupoints.

Who wants to be a god?

Who can be a god?

Ge Zhen,

In the end, I can't beat you.

You'll still kill me.

Senior fellow apprentice,

you were possessed by that evil object

and did many things.

You deserve this.

I'll pay with my life.

I will keep something secret

as you owe me.

Master,

kill me, please.

Whoever disturbs Chechi Kingdom

should be killed.

I'll report everything to Heavenly Zen

and waive the order to arrest you.

As for Wuma's position,

you can have it.

I might be bewitched

and don't know what to do.

Being one of the Twelve Shadow Guards

to protect Chechi Kingdom

is your fate.

You have internal injuries

because you learned Baimen's arts in the wrong way.

You will relapse once you use up your inner strength.

Only by cultivating Kill Art

and joining the Shadow Guards

can you remove this hidden danger.

Take it.

I've cultivated the mental methods for Kill Art

into this gold crane.

The disaster of your fate is coming.

Cultivate it fast.

Go to sleep in the Shadow Guard's Tomb.

If you give me two copper coins,

I will marry you.

I have so much to say to you.

You have to survive.

I just met you.

You can't leave me alone.

Please forgive me...

for letting you down.

I've made up my mind.

I hope I can accompany Qiukui.

Shadow Guard is half dead.

I don't want to leave her

and have her live

in this world alone.

My greedy desire is to let you survive.

But you...

want to die for love.

Take this gold crane.

When you regret it,

you can come back

to Shadow Guard's Tomb.

Thank you, Master.

Why are you back?

You'll leave anyway.

I won't leave.

Really?

You don't need to join the Twelve Shadow Guards?

Master said

I was incorrigible

and unqualified for Twelve Shadow Guards.

What about your illness?

You'll die.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm afraid of not seeing you again.

Yin mystical treasure

destroys man's will.

By killing the human spirit,

you can have eternal life.

Why are you here?

I thought it over all night.

What if I die someday,

what would I leave to you?

But in the end, I realized

the only thing I can leave behind

is you.

What's up?

I'd like to wash my face.

Qiukui.

Qiukui.

Qiukui.

Qiukui.

Hey, you weird old man,

why do you keep so many bugs?

Doctor Jia.

Gee!

Gee!

Doctor Jia.

Doctor Jia.

Doctor Jia.

What you said is a yin mystical treasure.

It can give people infinite power.

Gee!

Gee!

The Khotan human spirit, mentioned in ancient books

is it...

that girl my silly disciple loves?

You can't be possessed

by a false rumor.

You are Ge Zhen's master?

If he regarded me as his master,

he wouldn't go against me.

But he disobeyed even me...

for you.

I asked him to join the Twelve Shadow Guards

to save his life.

But he chose to die for you.

You know what?

Death is cheap.

And the superior way

is to have eternal life.

What do you want to do?

Let go of me.

Among the people from Khotan,

a human spirit will appear every 100 years.

You will appear after the mystical treasure shows up.

On the night of the full moon,

the life of a human spirit

can dispel the mystical treasure's evil

to benefit me

as well as this world.

What are you talking about?

Let me go.

Kid,

it's time to say goodbye.

After you're burned to death,

the real mystical treasure will be forged.

You should feel honored,

dying for this.

Master, stop!

Ge Zhen.

Ge Zhen,

did you come to see her off,

or to stop me?

Master,

you've been possessed by the mystical treasure.

Please stop.

Do you want me

to be a walking dead man all my life?

If you satisfy your desire at the price of others' lives,

you'll be the same as Baersi.

Baersi couldn't make it.

But I can.

Let her go.

We'll leave Chechi Kingdom

and never come back.

Ge Zhen,

for a woman,

you'd even betray me?

She is the human spirit!

She was born to die for mystical treasure.

That's her fate.

You can't stop it.

All right.

Then please forgive me.

Speed Art.

Shield Art.

Ge Zhen.

Attack Art.

Ge Zhen.

Leave now.

Leave me alone!

Go.

Go.

Go!

Ge Zhen,

why are you so stubborn?

As long as Khotan people wear the mystical treasure,

they will lose their memories.

Even if you save her today,

tomorrow,

she will forget you.

You really disappoint me.

Magic Art.

In this case,

you can go to meet your senior fellow apprentice.

Speed Art.

Ge Zhen.

Since I can't become a god,

you will repay me with your lives.

Baimen Five Martial Arts.

Kill Art.

As long as Khotan people wear the mystical treasure,

they will lose their memories.

Even if you save her today,

tomorrow,

she will forget you.

Your Excellency Weiyang,

I'm the new Military Office official, Weichi Kui.

You mean, one of these two people

Lost their memory,

and the other became a mummy?

Young man,

these stories...

are not convincing.

We made a deal.

I told stories,

and you drank wine.

Gold.

You said that man

became a walking dead man for a prostitute?

I've met more men than you.

They search for all kinds of pleasure,

but they don't know love.

You have a silly look.

Are you a virgin?

How about...

I ask several girls

to accompany you

and teach you?

Take care.

Don't touch me.

My man is a great hero.

Your man is not a great hero.

Cut the crap!

In 12 years, he'll come for me.

And then,

he'll give you a beating.

Hey, strange man.

If you see my man,

give this rouge to him.

Let him wear this,

and be No.1 at Hongxiu House.

What does

your man look like?

He's more handsome than you, anyway.

As long as you ask them who the hero is,

they will tell you his story.

Hey, why are you leaving?

Don't bring men like that here.

Those who pay without going to bed are sick.
