[Ancient Detective]

[Episode 10]

I think my inner power has dissipated.

- Mine, too. - It's normal.

That's because I added the First Entry Martial World Pill.

It's about an hour now. The medicine should be taking effect.

Right now, we're all the same.

All of us are amateurs in the martial world now.

If you want to fight, we'll see who has the advantage in numbers.

- You're so despicable. - I can't help it.

To be in the martial world, it's better not to stand on trifles.

It's great anyway.

I've killed for years.

I think it's enough.

I've been waiting for this day.

Boatman, Puppet Li was your master.

The injury on his neck is fatal.

It came from you.

Even if it turns into a dried corpse now, I can still recognize it.

Why did you kill your master?

I was ordered to kill him.

Ordered? On whose order?

Puppet Li himself.

He ordered me to kill him.

Puppet Li himself?

Master had built traps for many great tombs in his life...

and made a lot of money.

But he is not interested in wealth and the tombs.

He was hoping that his skills would be useful in the future.

He was a simple craftsman.

And I'm his last disciple.

The time spent to learn from him was very short.

Fifteen years ago,

many people in the martial world began to rob graves.

And there were some orthodox sects,

that started to rob graves...

for the prosperity of their sects.

Soon enough, those people started to cast their eyes on my master,

because my master knew the position of the traps at these graves.

They wanted to get these details from him.

But my master never revealed any secrets,

because that was his principle.

At first, I thought... they were just some alliance of tomb raiders.

Later on, I found out, that the influence of these people,

went deep into the gangs.

Many members of the gentry were their accomplices.

My master, who stood aloof from worldly affairs, went on a run.

But he still couldn't escape from them.

All his disciples betrayed him.

He was taken to the mountains, and suffered humiliation and torments.

But he never told any secret to those people.

I joined this profession late and was inexperienced.

My skills weren't good enough.

Those seniors who betrayed master didn't guard against me,

and I managed to find out where my master was hidden.

I sneaked in in the middle of the night and met my master.

- Master was as good as dead. - Master.

He was badly tortured.

- There were injuries all over his body. - Master.

His hands and feet were broken.

I wanted to carry him to escape.

But he refused.

He begged me to kill him.

After that, I took my master's body and his treasures...

and escaped to the sea...

and came all the way here.

I thought to myself that I have to kill...

all those who coveted my master's fortune.

And take revenge on the martial world!

Take revenge!

How old were you then?

I was only 16 years old.

But these were the last thing your master would do in his life.

You're ruining his reputation.

You're right. My master was a good man.

I couldn't be a good person like him.

Young man, thank you...

for helping me to have my long-cherished wish realised.

So, I'm giving you something fun.

- Jian! Let him go!< br> - Don't come any closer!

- Let him go. - Let me go.

If you turn yourself in, there might be a way out.

Handy Tang, the person you were looking for, was indeed here last year.

He died in my hands.

He said he made a big mistake eight years ago...

and should have died a long time ago.

When he died in my hands...

it helped to set him free.

It's time for me to set free now.

- Jian! - Watch out!

I have something to tell you.

Do you want...the treasures?

We have a long way to go.

You can take it.

Would you like to have it?

We don't want it.

I don't want the money.

I only like to steal.

You can have it.

I won't stand on ceremony, then.

So, I'm giving you something fun.

It's time for me to set free now.

Why is the crystal with him?

Leave no survivors for all those...

who know the secrets of the crystal.

My medicine is effective, right?

Make me some tea.

All right.

Enjoy.

Miss, buy a kite.

Today is best for flying a kite.

I'm not interested in kites.

My kites fly high and far.

Especially my kite line.

It's very strong.

Although kites fly freely, as long as I hold this thread in my hand,

it has to come back to me.

It can't get away.

Freely?

There's no real freedom.

After it's done, it still has to come back.

Sir. Why aren't there any nice designs for your kites?

Why do you need all that?

Will it become a bird if I draw one?

Will it become a human if I draw one?

No matter how beautiful it is, it's still a kite.

I've given them rankings.

It's easier for me to check the numbers.

Sixteen.

Eighteen.

Nineteen.

Where did 17 go?

Well, 17 has escaped.

The kite line is broken.

How far can it go?

You've been talking in riddles for so long.

I'm starting to lose my patience.

Sir.

Zhan Shi Qi. I'm here to pull the kite line down.

Looks like Zhan Division has no more talent.

They actually sent a fool to kill me.

How dare you look down on me?

Go to hell!

Don't run!

I have no time to play with you. Go fly the kites on your own.

Zhan Shi Qi. Why do you always bring these useless stuff back after you killed?

I can't help it. That's what I like.

These red emeralds are dangerous to the assassins.

What's the matter? They aren't sharp nor poisonous.

They just look pretty.

Pretty things are dangerous.

Master, it's quite the opposite.

Seeing them makes me feel at ease.

Feeling at ease is dangerous for an assassin as well.

Zhan Shi Qi, you've changed.

You've been getting restless lately.

I knew you would be here.

Why?

This is the most special room in Ten Killing Gate.

What's the matter?

- Couldn't bear to have her killed? - No.

Just reminiscing the past here.

Although I don't like the things that she bought,

seeing them covered in dust...

makes me feel a little sad.

Capable of feeling sad is a good thing for assassins.

All the happiness in the world has nothing to do with us.

If there's no pain left,

it doesn't make us human anymore.

You personally trained her.

It's a shame that she defected.

Those newcomers who were about her age,

that joined at the same time...

are still hovering below the top 50 rankings.

But she's made it to the 17th rank.

Even Zhan Shi Wu feels fearful.

Who would have thought...

the best and most obedient assassin of Zhan Division...

defected without any warning sign.

Says who?

All the things in this room...

are the warning signs.

The better a person is,

the more they question everything.

And it's easier for them...to choose a different path from the others.

So Zhan Shi Wu can't be compared with her.

It's normal if he loses her tail.

Are you here to tell me about this?

No, I have a new task for you.

Tell me.

Kill her.

Thanks for the Soul Restoration Pill.

Otherwise, I wouldn't recover as quickly.

The medicine that you gave me came from others, too?

You can say that.

But you still ate it, right?

Since I saved your life,

can you burn everything that you wrote about me in your book?

At least, don't take down my whereabouts.

Everything written in my book, is things that I've seen.

But I hear or see no evil.

Even if I knew it was true, I wouldn't write it down.

For instance, I can see you're now heading towards the Eastern Ocean,

and that's what I'll write.

Even if I knew you'd change your direction,

I won't write things that I can't see.

Well, write it down, then.

I'm now heading to the Eastern Ocean.

Also, your wounds haven't recovered.

Get some rest. Take care.

You, too.

Thank you, Ms. Ming Yue.

Zhao.

Jian, I've fixed the boat. Look.

Having Zhao is like having a treasure at home.

Jian, hop on.

- Let's go. - Here, easy.

Have you seen the King of Thieves?

- Have you seen the King of Thieves? - No.

- He has gone to the Eastern Ocean.- What?

The King of Thieves is a jerk!

He said he wasn't interested in the treasure but stole it all.

Liar!

You can go on. I'm not leaving!

Let's go.

Let's set sail!

You really won't wait for me?

Didn't you say that you aren't leaving?

After all, the martial world is made up of people.

The change of human nature, is more complicated than...

the enormously complex of all living things.

Even a wanted criminal who has killed countless people,

will be naive at times.

That's human nature.

Human nature...

often allows people to make the most unbelievable decision...

and have them bear a lifetime of regret.

Jian, you've been dumping them throughout the journey.

The bones of the dead are inauspicious.

Before he became a killer,

he was once a hero, too.

How did he become a maniac killer?

He said when he was young...

he killed a highly skilled swordsman...

and rose to fame because of that.

After that, many novices from the martial world...

wanted to take the shortcut he took, and challenged him to a fight...

because as long as they beat him,

they can be like him, and rise to fame for that.

At first, he didn't feel anything,

until he went to his friend's house.

His friend suddenly suggested to have a duel with him.

They made a promise to pull their punches.

And?

His friend suddenly made a move on him,

and tried to seize the opportunity to kill him.

What kind of friend is that?

It's fine if all he did was killed his friend.

But he killed his whole family.

He went overboard with that.

When the family saw the man of the house died,

all of them picked up their weapons,

wanting to take revenge against Fairy Sheng.

Why didn't Fairy Sheng explain himself?

What's the use of explaining?

Would his family listen to him?

Since then, the entire martial world misunderstood him,

and no one listened to his explanation.

All they wanted was to kill him.

More and more people tried to kill him.

And he couldn't be bothered to explain.

In the end, he started killing people.

What a real shame.

That's why he told me...

that if there's a chance to be a good person,

I must persevere...no matter how hard it is...

and not to be shaken.

Jian.

Look.

Jian.

Jian, get inside first.

All right.

- Quickly grab the sail. - All right!

We're in the path of a hurricane!

A hurricane? What do we do? Will the boat capsize?

How would I know?

I'm just a temporary boatman.

The boat is about to capsize. Are we going to die?

Don't! I'm not married yet!

Hao Zhou Yun is with us.

We wouldn't be so unlucky.

But he's already in bad luck.

Grab it! Hold onto me!

Jian, get back inside!

Dujuan Bay is right in front of us!

Let's take shelter there!

- All right. - Dujuan Bay?

Grab it!

Jian, watch out!

Ming Yue, hold on tight.

We're going into Dujuan Bay!

Hold on tight. Keep it up!

Zhan Shi Liu is dead.

Where's Ming Yue?

She's fine.

She's docked at Dujuan Bay.

Are there any Zhan Division members around at Dujuan Bay?

Send him there to kill Jian Bu Zhi.

Only Zhan Shi Er and Zhan Shi Wu are in the nearby areas.

They're carrying out an important mission.

It's not that easy.

Tell them to stop the mission at once.

All right.

I'll notify them using the pigeon post.

I didn't expect you to come all the way here.

You're a traitor.

I have to take you in.

If the pursuers use the hidden weapons,

use wood and walls to keep him behind,

so that he can't use the weapon.

Most importantly, try to avoid brushing past the blindage.

Because there might be an ambush at the back.

Zhan Shi Er.

Zhan Shi Qi, have you forgotten what I taught you?

Kill those who pursue you.

Most of the elite in Zhan Division died in your hands.

If you were Mr. Zhan Si,

you would have sent those who can get the job done.

I should've known it was you.

You'll kill someone before they eat.

That way, the other person will starve along the way, and has no energy to fight.

That's what you taught me.

What a shame.

Too bad you're screwed.

You must have a death wish!

Never let others stand on your back,

even if it's someone you can trust.

Once you make a move,

don't let them have a chance to get back up again.

You taught me every move.

It's easy for you to kill me.

Why are you doing this?

The higher one's martial skills are,

the more confident they are in sneak attacks.

Looks like you've been away from Zhan Division for too long,

and are stained with the spirit of scholars in the martial world.

Allow me to correct you.

I'm not here to kill you.

Not too long ago, I received a letter from Mr. Zhan Si.

He ordered me to terminate the mission to kill you,

and change to a different target.

We're very lucky.

You can live.

And I don't have to kill my own disciple.

Are you letting me go?

Zhan Shi Qi, you won't be able to go far.

No one can escape their destiny.

Zhan Division is your life.

How does a killing tool have a life?

You taught me how to kill people.

And I just want to be a human.

I have a new mission and can't stay here for long.

I'm going to Dujuan Bay to kill someone by the name Jian Bu Zhi.

You'd better live longer.

The fish are well cooked.

It's been raining for too long.

Be contented.

It's a great blessing to be able to get ashore alive.

I can't believe I'm a warrior who knows how to sail.

Jeez.

Why does the hurricane keep coming our way?

That explains why Hao Zhou Yun wanted to leave on his own.

Who is that?

We're from Yujiabao. We're here to take Ms. Ming Yue back.

Miss, say goodbye to them.

They are here for you?

She said that you're going to Yan Prefecture,

and that she'll just be a drag on you.

She wants you to meet her at Yujiabao when you're done.

That takes another two to three months.

It's too long.

She said she'll wait for you even if it takes two to three years.

It wouldn't be that long.

I'll come and see you when I'm done.

I'll be waiting for you.

Miss said she'll be waiting for you, and hope you won't break your promise.

I won't break my promise.

Miss, let's go.

Sima Dang.

Jian, I have a new mission.

Till we meet again.

It's nice knowing you. I shall take my leave.

Jian, Zhao, till we meet again!

Let's go.

Jian, are you all right?

It's just the two of us now.

- Let's find a place to stay. - All right. Let's go.

Waiter!

Coming! Sirs, please come in.

Madam, we have guests!

Coming.

You must be freezing.

Look at this gentleman.

He's so cold that his lips turned blue.

Come, take a seat.

Waiter, get the heater for the guests to warm up.

Coming.

Here.

Keep your hands warm.

Sirs, you can keep warm first.

I'll arrange a guest room for you later.

I didn't expect that, there's such a pretty lady boss,

at this deserted Dujuan Bay.

The boss is lucky.

Luck?

He died a long time ago.

I'm the only one left with this inn.

Well, that puts the waiter at advantage.

Watch out!

Are you from Pili Sect?

Pili Sect?

He's a divine healer, and he stays here.

He's always busy concocting pills in his room.

It's not the first time he exploded the room.

I'm charging in on you. Be sure to pay me back.

Zhao, is this how divine healers are?

He doesn't seem like one.

If I don't look like one, do you?

Hey, lady boss?

How many times have I told you? I conduct experiments in my room.

I don't concoct pills. I'm not the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

Concoct pills?

What do you make?

It's for Mr. Yin.

Nothing! I said I don't concoct pills. Were you even listening?

And...

who are the two of you?

- Are you those in the martial world... - Stay away.

This scalpel looks a little fake.

I get it.

Do you think Mr. Yin is one who's easily fooled?

Let me tell you.

I've seen many swindlers like you in the martial world.

It's all useless.

Who does Mr. Yin depend on when he falls sick?

Me! Mr. Prescriptor!

Sir. I don't understand a single thing you said.

I'm just wondering.

Who's that Mr. Yin you were talking about?

That's me.

This is Mr. Prescriptor.

He's the one who's been treating me.

I'm doing medicine fumigation treatment.

I can't come down for the time being.

Are you both some divine healers who are here to treat my disease?

We are not.

We're only passing by, and staying in the inn for two days.

- And here I thought you were here to treat my disease. - Jian, take a seat.

You're not physicians?

I knew it. Both of you look like some honest people.

How can you possibly be swindlers, right?

Sorry if I have offended you earlier.

I'm a very straightforward person.

Both of you aren't aware.

I lived a luxurious life back then,

and had eaten too many exotic beasts.

The poison accumulates in my body.

Old habits die hard.

All thanks to Mr. Prescriptor,

for making a breakthrough in conventional medical treatments,

that helped to keep me alive.

But there are frequent episodes.

It still couldn't cure the disease.

That's why I'm offering a huge amount of money,

to reward people in the martial world,

so that the divine healers from all around the world,

could come here to treat my disease.

They should be arriving soon.

I see.

Sirs.

Isn't this the Mr. Prescriptor who randomly prescribes medicine?

Isn't this the Living Bian Que,

who can neither cure nor get the patients killed?

Living Bian Que?

Mr. Yin, with me here, there's hope for you now.

Please come up.

You sound quite sick.

Looks like Mr. Prescriptor is doing what he's paid to do.

Listen, who's talking nonsense?

Don't be envious of me.

No patient has ever died in my hands.

Of course.

That's because you sent dying patients my way.

And for me, desperate times call for desperate measures.

If you put it that way,

I could get to my current level of medical skills...

all thanks to you, huh?

Lady boss, you look great.

You're pretty worked up.

Let me check your pulse.

No need for that.

I'll get the waiter to send you upstairs.

Look at that. A pervert.

Wild Monk!

Amitabha. Greetings, Zhao Wo Huan.

What brings you here?

I'm here to treat the sick and to gain some knowledge.

Nice.

Zhao, you know him?

He's an old acquaintance of mine.

He's a monk from the Eastern Ocean.

Right, Monk.

He's my best friend. Jian Bu Zhi of Shenji Valley.

Mr. Jian, I'm An De. Nice to meet you.

It's an honour to meet you.

Jian, when we first met,

I was the king of Mount Wangwu...

There were merely six to seven bandits.

That's right.

He advised me to leave the mountains and explore the world.

That's because those bandits were starving to death.

So, I told him, why don't you save the kids, and the mountains?

Go and devote to spiritual development.

And he told me I had an aura around my head.

Once I get down the mountain, things were so awesome.

For the sake of those people's lives,

it was fine to tell some white lies.

- That's really interesting. - You flatter me.

Mr. Zhao is the one with the gift of the gab.

- He's a real expert. - Expert?

How did you know?

My swordsmanship is awesome.

- Mr. Zhao, it's great to see you. - Me too. It's been a while now.

You've put on weight.

- This is good. - Come.

Waiter, hurry!

Get me a room.

It's been a long day. I'm really exhausted.

Are you Physician Wang?

Take a good look. I'm not a waiter!

Judging from your dressing,

if you weren't the waiter, would it be me?

I have no opinion if you become the waiter. But I'm not!

Answer my question. Don't lie to me.

- How many is this? - One.

- This? - Three.

- You are... - The waiter.

That was fun.

You are the waiter.

You can't fool me.

I'm the waiter.

Not him. Here's your tea.

I'm the waiter.

I told you that you're not the waiter!

You still won't admit it?

Stop lying to people.

I...

It's hot.

- It's so hot. - Look, Physician Wang.

With your current state of mind,

I think it's best if you don't attend to patients.

You should get a craniotomy first.

A craniotomy?

What's that?

Amitabha, Physician Wang.

- Nice to meet you. - You're here as well.

That's right. Allow me to do the introduction.

This is Mr. Zhao Wo Huan.

- Nice to finally meet you in person. - This is Mr. Jian Bu Zhi.

My apologies.

Physician Wang used to be the leader of Daye Sect.

Later on, Daye Sect was massacred by the Ten Killing Gate.

- The Ten Killing Gate? - The Ten Killing Gate?

And so, he has forgotten about his past.

He's now just Physician Wang.

- Here, Physician Wang. Take a seat. - I'm Physician Wang.

Physician Wang, this way, please.

What about his medical skills?

His internal skills are one of the best in the martial world.

His treatment method is to inject inner power,

into the body of the dying person and help to extend the life.

Let the old man rest.

Mr. Yin doesn't need his help.

Everyone is here for Mr. Yin's money.

What's wrong being here for money?

Is it so hard to tell the truth?

Wicked Woman, the most notorious one in the martial world is here.
