[Episode 12]

Why are they riding so fast?

Are they racing?

Third Brother.

Why are they dressed like that? They look mean.

They don't look like nice people.

Be careful, everyone.

Right. Don't bump into them.

If we do, I bet we'll have trouble.

Third Brother, you lead the horse. I'm scared.

- You guys lead. - And me!

Junior.

Who's going to untie me?!

Open the door!

Break it down.

Third Master, no one is here.

Third Master, non one.

No one?

Then who locked the door?

The door was locked without anyone here.

No wonder nobody answered when we knocked.

There are so many coffins.

It's fine.

- What is this?! - Don't be scared.

I'm here.

- Don't be scared. - You're not scared, right Xiao Bao?

Get away.

Don't hug me like that.

Two men shouldn't be so close.

Who said I was scared?

I'm not scared at all.

I'm just...

scared of the rain.

Everyone sit.

Sit down.

Sit next to me.

Sit.

Master Xu.

Based on your accent, you're from the Capital, right?

you're from the Capital, right?

That's right.

Our family came from the Capital,

came from the Capital,

and are going to visit relatives in Shanxi.

Since you're from the Capital,

did you meet a eunuch with the last name Gui on your way here?

Hero, you really know how to joke.

Who doesn't know that a eunuch leaving the Capital is punishable by death?

How could there be such a brave eunuch in this world?

The eunuch I'm talking about

is no ordinary eunuch.

He is famous both domestically and internationally,

the young hero who captured Guwalgiya Oboi, Eunuch Gui.

My brother.

Have you seen him?

Who?

Eunuch Gui.

What's his full name?

Look, hero.

If you ask about someone, you have to say their full name.

But I heard he's not very old,

and is very smart and tricky like a monkey.

It sounds quite like you.

What do you mean "like"?

A hero is not afraid to admit it.

Aren't you famous domestically and internationally,

and the young hero who captured...

Shut up!

How dare you?!

- Master! - Mu Style Boxing.

You all put on a good act.

No one will leave here today!

Capture them all!

It's just a joke.

- Hurry and put your knives away! - Yes.

It's really a misunderstanding, we're all family here.

Today I, Zhao Lao San, am extremely fortunate

to meet him who is famous domestically and internationally,

and the young hero that captured Guwalgiya Oboi,

Eunuch Gui.

Heroes, please rest well.

Brothers, let's go!

Yes.

Forgive me, forgive me.

Forgive me.

Forgive me, please.

Heroes, I'm going to go first.

Rest well, everyone!

That smell is...!

Leader Hong will enjoy live long and fortunate like an immortal!

Live long and fortunate like an immortal!

Live long and fortunate like an immortal!

They're from the Mystical Dragon Cult.

Cult.

Live long and fortunate like an immortal!

I'm telling you,

if I get diarrhea,

I'll stink you to death.

You've been poisoned by our Falling Snake Wind Poison, and you're still this angry?

What Falling Snake Wind Poison?

You just gave me the antidote, it's licorice root juice.

But it's too hot and went bad.

How did you know?

How did I know?

You don't understand me.

I am a conniving trickster.

This is the trick I used to kill Oboi.

This kind of low trick?

I've used it for a long time, don't you know?

And you called it some Wind Poison?

It was just knockout incense.

Behave!

Wait, why did you put me in a cage?

I'm not a bird.

I already told you.

We're all friendly ghosts here.

Let's talk it out.

Stop scaring me one by one like that!

I can't take it anymore.

I'm scared.

Is this... the rumored ghost wind?

Does that mean the ghost light up the candle too?

You guessed right.

It really is.

Turn around.

I'm a person, not a ghost.

You're lying, you are a ghost.

If you don't turn around, I'm going to light your braid on fire.

Open your eyes.

What's your name?

My name is Shuang Er.

So many.

Hello, sisters.

Master Gui.

You killed the traitor Guwalgiya Oboi,

and got revenge for the Zhuang House.

We will never be able to repay your blessing.

Please accept my bow.

Master Gui, please accept our bow!

What are you doing?

Thir... Third Madam.

Please get up, please.

Sisters. Please get up, please.

You may go first.

Yes, Third Madam.

So many women.

Master Gui.

Originally, we wanted to prepare some gifts to show our thanks.

But what could you possibly like that we have in the village?

that we have in the village?

Third Madam, you're too polite. I don't need gifts.

I don't need gifts.

Based on your accent, you sound like a local.

The Zhuang House used to be an honorable family in Huzhou.

Then one day, the Guian County Magistrate, Wu Zhi Rong, came to visit.

Our master welcomed him warmly.

But who knew that after,

Wu Zhi Rong reported us to Oboi,

and said that he suspected we were plotting a rebellion.

Oboi ordered our family killed,

and the women of the family were judged as criminals and sent to Beijing.

On the way, we were fortunately rescued by a hero,

and hid our identities to live here.

That means you have always pretended to be ghosts in this mansion,

scared that someone would discover you?

That Wu Zhi Rong...

Wu Zhi Rong is really quite evil.

Don't let me bump into him.

If I do, I'll capture him

and put him here for you to do whatever you want with him.

I thank you, Eunuch Gui, on behalf of the 73 wronged souls of the Zhuang House.

of the Zhuang House.

Grandma. Let's not be like this.

We can't keep kneeling.

Oh right, there's something I almost forgot.

I almost forgot.

Where are my friends?

To be honest, we had already captured Zhang Lao San and his men.

But who knew a few skilled martial arts masters came out of nowhere

and rescued them.

They also kidnapped your friends.

But don't worry, Eunuch Gui.

I'm sure Zhang Lao San won't hurt them.

Why?

If he really wanted to hurt them,

he would've done so here.

Why kidnap them instead?

Third Madam is right.

I want to give you a gift.

Third Madam, no need to be so polite.

Shuang Er has been with me for many years, and is very reliable.

I'd like to gift her to you,

and hope that you'll accept.

Ok.

It's... so sudden.

Third Madam.

You can't just gift her to me.

Is she willing?

If Third Madam wants me to serve you,

then I...

I will listen to her orders.

For a lot of things,

you should listen to your heart.

You have to ask yourself if you're willing

or if you're willing.

I mean, if you're willing or not.

Right?

Madam has treated me very well,

and you have done a great favor for the Zhuang House.

If Madam wants to serve you, I will do my best.

If Master treats me well, then that's my good fate.

If you don't, then that's my bad fate.

Don't worry.

From today onward,

your fate will get better and better.

Shuang Er, thank Master Gui.

Shuang Er greets Master Gui.

Don't.

We just met. It's not fitting for you to act like this.

Since Miss Shuang Er is now mine,

then I won't reject it.

This is our first time meeting

and I don't know what to gift you.

This is a small gift.

Please accep...

Accep...

Accep...

Accept!

Miss Shuang Er.

When I was three,

my mother put this bangle

on my arm.

She told me,

"Child, wear it well.

Don't break it.

In the future,

gift it to someone you love."

And so, Miss Shuang Er,

I'll gift this to you today as our meeting gift.

Thank you, Master.

It's getting late.

Shuang Er, serve the Master for bed.

Yes, Madam.

Master, please follow me.

What...

What is this?!

They do this every night.

There's nothing going on right?

Stand more apart from now on.

This is really eerie.

Mount Wutai is full of all kinds of people.

Master, be careful on your way.

Third Madam. Don't call me Master, I'm still young.

You can just call me Xiao Bao from now on.

How could I do that?

Master, please take care.

Please excuse me for not sending you off.

Third Madam, please stay.

Shuang Er, take care of Madam Gui.

Madam. Shuang Er is leaving.

Madam, please take care.

Go now.

Third Madam, take care.

My legs are so weak!

Sit down.

- Let's take a break. - It's time for a break, Shuang Er!

I told you before we came up to find a livestock or something.

It's so much more comfortable riding one up the mountain.

But you said there wasn't.

Look, the ground is full of horse and donkey poop.

You lied to me! I'm so tired.

Master.

You're pretty weak.

I'll teach you martial arts later.

You need to practice.

Whatever.

It'll be a blessing if I can get down the mountain alive.

Hurry up! Hurry!

- Don't be polite! - Keep up, go!

Keep up, go!

Let's go!

What's going on?

Based on their feel,

they don't look like normal monks.

Hurry and give us the person, or else don't blame us for being tough!

or else don't blame us for being tough!

Give us the person! Or else we'll tear down the temple!

Or else we'll tear down the temple!

Right, give him to us!

Give him to us!

Amitabha.

Which temple are you brothers from?

Why are you here to visit us?

I was sent on official business to Zhongyuan,

but who knew that a little lama was kidnapped by one of your monks.

Be smart and give him back to us.

Or else, we'll have to search.

Temple is a sacred place.

You cannot search as you please.

If you don't...

If you don't I'll kill you!

Master, there's a locked room over there.

Let's go!

Don't!

Hurry and keep up!

Don't move!

Don't move.

It's definitely here.

You two, go in and take a look.

Yes.

Useless.

Amitabha.

He's quite powerful.

Did you see it clearly?

No.

Come here!

Capture that monk!

If you capture him, I will reward 10 thousand taels!

If you hurt him...

You'll be killed.

Am I right?

Throw your weapons down fir...

You've got some pretty fast reactions.

Very good indeed.

Amitabha.

It turns out you're the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards, Officer Wei.

- My apologies. - You're too polite, too polite

Too polite.

Take it.

Officer Wei. What is your purpose in coming here?

Purpo...?

Here's the thing.

I'm here on orders from His Majesty,

here to protect the former emperor.

Since these people have already been captured, we definitely can't let them go.

we definitely can't let them go.

Or else that's like letting the tiger go back to its mountain.

that's like letting the tiger go back to its mountain.

It'll be more dangerous for us.

I'm thinking that why don't I borrow your place,

and bring those people forward for investigation?

We will listen to Officer Wei's orders.

Great.

Shuang Er. Go and bring in that guy named Ba Yan.

named Ba Yan.

I will interrogate him.

Amitabha.

Go now, what are you waiting for?

Yes.

I'm going to ask you a few questions.

You need to tell me the truth, alright?

I'm telling you, there's a difference when someone

tells or doesn't tell the truth.

What difference?

If someone is telling the truth,

their eyes don't move.

And if they're lying?

Then his eyes

will

keep spinning around.

Got it?

They're back.

Did you see that?

Do you know where this dagger came from?

I don't know.

You're telling the truth,

I can tell.

Since you don't know, let me tell you.

This dagger is a treasure I seized from Oboi's mansion.

It's extremely sharp, and can cut iron as if it were clay.

If later on you tell me the truth,

then your eyes will be genuine like they are now.

But if you tell me lies, then

your eyes

will spin around.

I can't look at that, it makes me dizzy.

Then I will use this sharp dagger

to dig out your...

your eyeballs and feed them to the dog!

Think about it.

Do you want to tell the truth

or lies?

I'll tell the truth!

Very good.

Then let me ask you.

Why did you come here?

Someone paid for us to dress up as monks and come here.

He told us to pretend that a small monk was lost.

My eyes aren't moving, right?

Very good, continue.

Where was I?

You were at little eyes.

I mean, little lama.

Actually, we're not here to find the little lama.

We're looking for a middle-aged monk.

The person who sent us also said that if we catch this monk,

it'll be a big accomplishment.

My eyes didn't move, right?

No.

Very good.

Are your eyes not tired?

Very good.

Let me take a break.

Remember.

You have to be light on your feet and don't talk.

We don't want to alert the enemy.

One.

Two.

Three.

Who is it?

Who am I?

Where did I come from? Where am I going?

What am I going to do?

It might take me at least ten days to tell you all of that.

Where... where should I start?

Master, can you read?

Get to the point!

Please take a look at this.

Your servant, Wei Xiao Bao, greets Your Highness.

Your Highness. Your identity has been exposed.

You can't stay in Qingliang Temple.

Let's go to a safe place to cultivate, alright?

My brother is meditating and won't talk to outsiders.

Where are you taking him?

To hide. Anywhere.

Brother, you should go and hide.

Your attitude determines how you live your life.

If you say it's dangerous,

then the world is filled with danger.

If your heart is at peace,

then the world is at peace.

Did you hear that?

My brother doesn't want to leave.

I mean...

I mean, this...

Brother, you have to be logical.

If bad people come

and cut your brother into pieces,

is that ok?

Everyone human in this world will die at some point.

There's no difference between living a few years more or less.

more or less.

There's no difference in anything to you two.

in anything to you two.

No difference between the dead and living.

No difference between man and woman.

Then the Empress is no different from Empress Xiaoxian.

What did you say?

Your Highness, please don't get mad.

That was my mistake.

How do you know about the two empresses?

I mistakenly overheard Hai Da Fu and the Empress Dowager

Hai Da Fu and the Empress Dowager talking about it.

Hai Da Fu is still investigating?

He's dead.

Dead?

He was killed by the Empress Dowager.

She knows martial arts?

She... knows more than martial arts.

I think she's at least practiced for over two years.

I saw it with my own eyes.

The two of them were fighting to the death

in the garden of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

Who are you?

I...

I'm speaking without evidence.

Wait just a second.

Are you familiar with this writing?

It's upside down.

I'm too nervous.

The little emperor...

Is he still healthy?

When His Majesty found out that you were still alive

and that you were in Mount Wutai,

he was both laughing and crying, happy and sad at the same time.

He would've put on wings and flown here if he could.

and flown here if he could.

But then he thought about it, and said no,

and said no,

he has a lot of responsibility.

He can't delay the Court matters.

And so he sent me

to come to Mount Wutai first to greet Your Highness.

He is going to come?

He doesn't need to come.

He is a good emperor,

thinking of the Court first.

Unlike me.

Your Highness.

Hai Da Fu has already investigated everything.

The Empress Dowager not only killed Empress Xiaoxian,

she also killed the Emperor's birth mother.

She knew that this secret was discovered,

so she killed Hai Da Fu.

But then she felt that killing Hai Da Fu wasn't enough,

and so she sent people to Mount Wutai to secretly kill you.

She said once she kills you, she is going to kill the little emperor.

she is going to kill the little emperor.

Once she kills the little emperor, she is going to dig up Empress Xiaoxian's grave.

That's enough.

Your Highness.

Please excuse me for being straightforward.

Based on your actions now,

you seem like you've let go of human life,

and that life and death doesn't matter.

But the little emperor can't die.

We need to talk in private.

We need to talk in private, thank you.

Your Highness.

I'm going to leave tomorrow.

Please tell me any orders that you have.

Thank you for your hard work.

Go back and tell your master

to not come and interrupt my cultivation at Mount Wutai.

Even if he comes, I won't see him.

Tell him.

If he wants the world to be peaceful,

he needs to remember four words,

which are "do not increase taxes".

"Do not increase taxes"?

If he can do that,

then that's a blessing to me.

I will be very happy.

But Your Highness.

If I go back without evidence,

then even if I tell him,

His Majesty might not believe me.

Give this scripture to your master.

Tell him

Tell him that everything should be left to fate.

He can't force anything to happen.

If he can bring fortune and blessing to the people,

then that is of course good.

But if people want us to go,

then we should go back to where we came from.

Also. His mother,

not matter how bad she is, is his mother.

He can't break rituals.

He also can't harbor hate in his heart.

Yes, Your Highness.

He's about as old as you, right?

What?

I mean his height.

Hei...

Your Highness, you mean his height?

His height...

He's about this tall.

Taller than me, by at least a full head.

And he's stronger and more powerful than I am.

Most importantly, His Majesty is very handsome.

In the beginning, even I felt puzzled.

I said, "Your Majesty, how are you so handsome?"

Now that I see you, I finally understand why.

I finally understand why.

He looks like you.

I understand. You can go now.

I will now retreat.

Your Highness, please take care.

Master. Master.

Every time you're happy, you always hum this song.

you always hum this song.

What is it?

You're too innocent, I can't tell you.

Shuang Er, look at that guy up there.

He's holding a big knife,

and his hair looks like a bunch of strange foxtail.

Who is that?

Don't worry. Let's keep going.

Stop!

Timing and subtitles brought to you by the 🦌 Mysterious Deer Team🦌 @ Viki

Stop!

Turn around.

Turn around!

Did you come from Qingliang Temple?

Did you come from Qingliang Temple?!

You're asking me?

No.

Then where did you come from?

We came from up there.

Up there?

Where is up there?

We turned around and came back

before getting to Qingliang Temple.

Then you came from Lingjing Temple.

Right, how did you know?

Right what?!

Lingjing Temple is further than Qingliang Temple.

Right!

You've really been to a lot of places.

Of course!

I mean, nonsense!

Where was I?

Why?! That's what you said.

Ok, don't change the subject.

You're Gui,

right?

Are you Gui?!

Who is Gui?

A eunuch from the Palace, Gui.

I don't know him.

Then who are you?

I am not Gui.

Then who are you?

My name is Little Bao.

Little Bao?

Then what's your surname?

I already told you. My name is Little Bao.

My name is Little Bao,

so my surname is Little and name is Bao, Little Bao.

and name is Bao, Little Bao.

Your surname is Little.

Then what about you?

My name is Little Shuang.

Little Shuang?

You're not a man?

Right, I'm a woman.

You two are a couple?

Little Bao.

Little Shuang.

- You're the older brother and she's the younger sister, right? - No.

She's the older sister and I'm the younger brother.

Then that's right!

Or else two men holding hands would be really strange.

- Is it not strange anymore? - Not anymore.

How come none of you are Gui?

You can go now.

Go?
