Original subtitles

Clean this up right away.

Yes.

City Master. City Master.

City Master, you have to endure it, don't be so irritable.

The more violent you are the more the king gu will devour you more severely.

What did you come here to do?

I came to stay with you. City Master, are you alright?

Leave. I don't want you to stay with me.

You've made us into an unfortunate couple.

I've felt this kind of pain before.

Back then my aunt matched me in a ghost marriage. (where one of the partners is dead}

She had me buried alive in the coffin.

Didn't I still go on as before?

Who am I? I am Cha Lou

I am Guihua City's City Master.

That has all past. Now you have me.

I've always stayed by you.

There is no past.

God owes me every part, every little bit. I remember it all.

I, Cha Luo, am a person who repays kindness with kindness and repays hatred with hatred.

Even if in the future I meet the King of Hell

I absolutely won't regret it.

But... You ain't happy.

Happy?

What is being happy?

Those early years we were here, do they count?

Xing Feng.

Wake up.

Its not just me.

Your hands are covered with blood too.

We can't go back.

Where are you going?

Me? I'm going to see that

Miss Wan Mei who thinks that if the King gu devours me that she can win.

You needn't accompany me.

Miss Wan Mei, it's not even haishi (9 to 11pm) yet.

Are you ready?

Are you thinking of sitting here until daybreak?

It seems City Master

is here for the first time.

I can't say that.

If I told you

I lived here for three years before,

even the tree in your garden

was watered by me and I watched it grow big, would you find it surprising?

Not surprising.

But apparently the City Master

does not cherish the memory of that time.

I encountered hatred and jealousy.

I passed the days in fear and trepidation.

Xing Feng and I fell in love with each other.

But it didn't end well.

In the end what is there worth remembering?

It seems a lot like you, doesn't it?

Maybe you could still ask me why am I not willing to let you off.

In my heart fellow sufferers

commiserate with each other.

If you can still be alive tomorrow, or if some day you really can take my place,

then after ten years ask yourself

whether you really have this useless nonsense called compassion.

Do you know what kind of torture Chang An is going through now?

Xing Feng has prepared an exquisite little hammer.

From his toes

he is slowly breaking all of his bones to pieces.

One by one working his way up.

Right now...

he should have already broken his ankles.

Wan Mei, yes you are intelligent.

In a few years

you might be able to defeat me.

But right now you don't have that opportunity.

Until the end

the winner cannot be known.

Wan Mei,

I know you disdain becoming me.

But you know even more that if you don't become me

you absolutely won't be able to survive.

Seeing that this is your very last night, I'll be merciful.

I'll nicely let you go and visit your shadow

Chang An and see him for the last time.

Grieve over your mighty love.

Things just can't be done half way.

Please have Miss Wan Mei wait a bit.

Enough

After an hour I'll come back and break a couple more.

Make it short.

Chang An, I'll help you escape now.

If I fail,

then we'll die together.

My broken soul sword is by the wall.

From now on

you must listen to every word I say.

[Bi'an Chamber]

How do you have such deep internal power? Did Chang An give it to you?

Right. Your shadow unexpectedly doesn't want to continue to follow you.

So he specially gave us this opportunity.

Wan Mei. Wan Mei!

You have to live. Don't take the poison. Don't take yourself down with her!

Just use your Heavenly Secret sword.

Kill Cha Luo!

No matter whether I can survive or not,

you have to carefully take care of yourself.

Be careful on your travels. Watch out for Gong Zi.

But you . . but you absolutely cannot turn into Cha Luo.

Because

you are Wan Mei.

You are

woman, I'm willing to sacrifice my life to protect you.

Finally

you still lost.

Then how

you thought

your shadow gave you all his inner power

and suffered such heavy torture

Is he still capable of being alive?

I didn't lose to you!

I lost to Xing Feng.

Remember to tell him.

I will not repent!

Arriving at death I will continue to curse.

Curse all the lovers on earth.

They will all be like you and I.

None of them will end well!

Wan Mei.

Chang An.

Where is Chang An?

I'm asking you, where is Chang An?

You live, he dies.

Everything is reincarnated.

Hurry up and tell me! Where is Chang An?

He... is dead.

Liar.

When he gave his internal power to you

it must have been clear to you

that he must undoubtedly die.

Then let me ask you.

Where is his body?

As Chang An was about to die

he entrusted me with something to say to the new City Master.

- He said-- - I'm asking you where his body is!

Fine.

I'll tell you but I have a favor.

What favor?

Promise me you'll let me die with her.

Let us be buried together.

As long as you tell me I'll consider it.

Fine.

You can clearly see

everywhere on this wall

is Chang An's flesh and blood.

As for his bones,

I took them and ground them to powder

to feed the dogs!

You . .

Impossible... Impossible... IMPOSSIBLE!

Go and collect his body for him, new City Master.

For that flesh and blood become mud, for your shadow who never let you down,

Wan Mei!

Don't . . don't let him die.

You have to live. Don't take poison. Even more, don't take yourself down with her.

Chang An! Chang An!

Chang An.

Gong Zi made it clear, you've just been implanted with the King gu. Your body still hasn't adapted yet. You need more rest.

Where is Xing Feng? I need to see him!

In the cabinet on the left side of the torture chamber there is a fan.

It's a congratulatory gift from me to the new City Master.

The fan is made out of the skin of Chang An's stomach.

Written on it is a four line poem

It is written in Chang An's blood.

Xie Huan.

His name was Xie Huan.

His family name was Xie, called Huan.

A good name.

You also loved Cha Luo.

Why, why can't you put yourself in my shoes

and give us a way out?

You killed the one I loved the most,

and I killed the one you love the most.

We're even.

Do you still want to be buried

with Cha Luo?

Her name wasn't Cha Luo.

Her name was Bie Churfang. The year she came to Guihua City

she was the same age as you.

The sky was a clear blue,

apricot blossoms weighed down the branches.

She was as beautiful as a painting.

She was dazzling.

And then what?

- Didn't you lose hope for her? - No.

I never lost hope for her.

I just felt

her wrongdoing

must come to an end.

Since you thought her crimes were very serious

what made you think I would agree . .

agree to let you be buried together?

I won't.

I insist that you live.

I want to make your life worse than death.

I want to make you to

in the world, and beneath it

never to be together!

Then I congratulate you, City Master, for becoming another Cha Luo.

I think that Chang An should be rejoicing

that he didn't become the 2nd Xing Feng.

Right.

I am Wan Mei.

I am not Cha Luo.

I can't become the way she is too.

Because .. because Chang An ..

..Chang An.. he does not hope that I'll become like that.

Gong Zi destroyed my martial arts skills because he was afraid that I might kill myself.

If City Master is willing to leave the sword behind,

Xing Feng can do it himself.

Someone like Cha Luo

has someone like you who treats her in this manner.

This is really beyond reason.

I am willing to go down there to accompany her,

just like Chang An who is willing to die for you.

Only willing,

there's no need for any reason.

Only willing,

there's no need for any reason.

Xing Feng

thanks City Master for granting him death.

You have been to the Torture Chamber?

You returned victorious a long time ago,

but deliberately came here so late.

You did it because you wanted to see the outcome as it is today.

Isn't that right?

Cha Luo an I going all out to kill each other.

As far as you are concerned,

this is nothing more than a game of chess.

No matter who wins or lose,

all you want is Chan An to be dead. Isn't that right?

This thing call love,

will only affect your future prospects.

The significance of Chang An's presence is to help you to accomplish your goal.

His death is the best outcome

- for the two of you. - You are talking nonsense.

Losing Chang An

doesn't mean that you have lost everything.

You still have me.

Follow me.

And your world will be wide.

The person who is Mei

should be boundless.

The person who is Mei

is boundless.

Then tell me,

what must I do in order to calm your resentment,

and you will lift up your head and look ahead?

The cold dew scatters the sound of the zither.

I do not want anything.

I just want Chang An to come back.

Come back to me.

Chang An.

Chang An!

Six months later, King of Jin Li Cunxu achieved his long-cherished ambition.

The country of Liang was destroyed. The period under his reign was changed to Year of Tong Guangyuan.

He ascended the throne in the state of Wei and proclaimed himself emperor. This is known in history as the later Tang Dynasty.

Your Majesty, I'm disturbing you. I have something important to report to Prince Ning. Your Majesty, please allow me.

Yue Ying is here. Come here, come here. Please stand up. Stand up, hurry and stand up.

Royal Brother, this Yue Ying of yours,

ever since she followed you, fighting everywhere, now she has

a pure heroic spirit. Take a look. Her courage is greater and greater.

Reporting to Your Majesty, Yue Ying has lived in military camps for so long

she is not very familiar with the rules of the Palace.

I hope Your Majesty will forgive her.

I have assumed the position of Emperor

but I have more and more enemies.

I need someone sincere by my side,

a woman just like Yue Ying.

Royal Brother, can you be a little flexible, a little accommodating and let Yue Ying and me

privately talk this over and see if Yue Ying

is willing to enter the Palace or not?

- Your Majesty-- - My being appreciated by Your Majesty is my good fortune.

I

am willing.

Are you laughing at me?

In such a cold late autumn

and I'm still holding a fan.

Am I crazy?

You don't understand.

Now I just have this.

Now that Chang An has died

my happiness

all left with him.

Do you know? The last couple days Gong Zi

is still outside looking for someone to promote

and say I am Princess Taiping's ancestor.

Saying I am the true owner of the Wordless Imperial Order.

Now I'm so insane,

I have so many worries,

I can only tell them to an animal like you.

Everything he's doing,

what use is any of it?

You said...

if Chang An were still alive now

what would he do?

He had a calm temperament.

If according to his kindly feelings

he should just want a garden.

In there

he would plant an
