[The Needle of GuiMen]

According to ancient books,

the Needle of GuiMen

combines needle and fist,

which is a magnificent technique.

In the right manner,

it can bring the dying back to life.

In the wicked manner,

it can manipulate others as puppets.

Master,

haven't you taken a rest?

Master?

Master!

What's wrong with you!

Soulless Disease?

Master!

The moment the acupuncture is used, the disease is cured, and ghosts are cleared away.

Someone is hurting our master! Master!

What's going on?

Master!

-Master! -Master! -Master!

-Master! -Master! -Master!

Master! Are you all right?

-Master! -Master!

I know how to treat him!

Stop justifying!

Array!

Lingyun!

-Our master is dying! -Dad!

Dad!

Dad, can you wake up? Dad!

Lingyun.

His disease can't be delayed.

Let me give him treatment!

-Dad.... -Wujie,

I will kill you!

[The Memorial Tablet of the Master, Yuan Tianqi]

Disciples of GuiMen

witnessed that their patriarch was killed by Wujie,

so they expelled him out of the sect.

GuiMen also gave an order:

when disciples of GuiMen met Wujie again,

they should kill him

even at the cost of their own lives

in order to punish his murder.

Since then, Wujie hid himself,

and nobody could find his traces.

GuiMen also faded away.

Many years later, a law case of a female corpse in red

brought people to GuiMen again.

[GuiMen]

To see what happened next,

let's continue in the following chapter.

You say that again!

Go on!

Heck!

Don't leave!

Where are you going?

Stay there!

Yeah! Why doesn't he move?

Continue!

Continue your story!

What? What's wrong?

What happened?

It's so scary!

Who did it!

All right.

Listen to me.

Don't panic.

I'm Zhao Mengguang, Detective Zhao.

I'll ensure your safety....

Help me!

The second trigram is Yin, which presents a house.

Lin trigram conflicts with ShenJin branch.

Soulless Disease....

Detective,

are you all right?

Go...go away!

I'm fine.

Dr. Song....

Acupuncture in the access between Yin and Yang.

Needle Heaven needs to be opened.

Needle Earth must be cracked.

Brother!

Brother!

Needle Mountain will collapse right away.

Needle Sea should be exhausted.

What are you doing?

The moment the acupuncture is used, the disease is cured, and ghosts are cleared away.

GuiMen?

Brother!

Brother!

Brother! What's wrong? Brother.

What have you done to my brother!

Let me go!

You killed my brother.

I will kill you for your crime!

Let me go!

Stop making noise!

I'm still here!

Song Jingzhi,

what's going on?

He was needled when he was alive

and he died of Illusion of Yin.

Nonsense!

My brother was healthy.

-If it weren't for your acupuncture.... -Where are you going?

he would not have died!

Let me go!

I'll kill him!

That's enough!

He killed my brother!

I'll figure it out.

Brother!

You killed my brother.

I'll kill you!

Someone's killed!

Someone's killed!

Someone's killed! Someone's killed.

Sizhou Alley?

Go!

Go.

Don't move!

I killed him.

I killed him.

I am the killer.

I killed him.

[Interrogation Room]

I killed him.

I killed him....

I killed him....

Sir.... Sir,

I killed him.

I am the killer.

Please....

Please give me a shot.

I'll confess my crime....

I'll confess my crime....

Yes....

I killed him.

I am the killer.

He should have so much extravasated blood.

Let me find the true cause of your death.

The old woman confessed.

She said

she was heading to the station,

but

she was lost on the street.

Sun Liu happened to be passing by at this time,

so she asked him the way.

Young man.

Young man.

Young man.

Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the station?

I....

Young man....

Detective,

we have found some clues.

The old woman is Wei Ahua,

who lived in Wei Village, Goose Town.

There could be two people responsible for this case.

He was stabbed after his death

and was needled when he was alive.

His true cause of death

is that his head was injured heavily

and was thus caused intracranial hemorrhage.

Plus, his chest and abdomen suffered multiple blows,

so he finally died at the scene.

The only thing we can make sure of is that

the person who hit Sun Liu to death

should be a strong man.

This is his autopsy report.

You can have a look.

Dr. Song has really bad luck.

He happened to meet both murder cases.

But then again,

Sun Liu had threatened him with avenge.

Now it is settled.

Dr. Song doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

I killed him....

I killed him....

I am the killer....

Who is she covering for?

OK.

I'll record it.

You went there again yesterday?

I'm unlucky recently.

You lost again!

How ridiculous!

Detective Zhao.

Open it.

What's this?

Take it away!

Be quick.

Open it.

[A receipt of a hotel]

Xianghe Hotel?

[Xianghe Hotel]

Sir,

can I help you?

Have you ever seen this person?

I'm new here.

Maybe you can ask my boss for more details.

Where is your boss?

He is upstairs.

Don't move!

Song Jingzhi?

[Xianghe Hotel, Yuan Lingyun]

Who on earth invited me to the hotel

in the name of Lingyun?

The cases are similar.

Now the only clue is...

Wei Ahua?

Detective,

how should we deal with Wei Ahua?

Don't ask me about that!

The case hasn't been solved yet.

Just let her stay in the prison

and bring Song Jingzhi to trial.

Yes, Sir!

Someone,

open the door of Song Jingzhi.

Song Jingzhi,

you....

If you don't want to

give your wealth up,

you should cooperate well with me.

I can cooperate with you,

but after this is all over,

please don't come to me anymore.

I will handle the dirty work,

and you just need to use your connections.

[Xianghe Hotel, Yuan Lingyun]

Auntie.

Auntie.

Auntie,

are you feeling better?

Come.

Thank you, boy.

It's okay.

You are just too tired.

You need to rest more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There is one more thing.

Is there anyone

called Wei Ahua in your village?

You mean Ahua.

Wujie,

we haven't met each other for a long time.

I have made a lot of efforts

to lead you into this.

It turns out that

you did all this.

Aren't you called the best medical examiner in City Yang?

What?

You didn't even examine this out?

If you bear grudges against me,

you can just revenge to me.

Why do you hurt the innocent?

Wujie,

just give me the Needle of GuiMen obediently,

or you would rather die

after this needle is done.

Lingyun.

Lingyun.

Wujie.

Wuhen,

you tried so hard to get the Needle of GuiMen.

What is

your aim?

Lingyun,

leave it to me.

Great.

I will clear the sect today first.

Every time we give acupuncture, needle one cun first.

Every time we give acupuncture, needle one cun first.

Then six, the even number.

Then six, the even number.

If the patient gets cooler,

If the patient gets cooler,

draw the needle back to half of that.

draw the needle back to half of that.

After nine seconds,

After nine seconds,

Qi is got.

Qi is got.

This is the hidden Yang in Yin.

This is the hidden Yang in Yin.

Lingyun.

Wujie.

Wujie.

Lingyun.

Be careful.

Wujie,

I'm sorry.

Stop saying that.

It's not your fault.

It's my fault.

I wasn't able to save master then.

Actually, I have been thinking about

GuiMen and master

all the time

[The Memorial Tablet of My Dear Master, Yuan Tianqi]

in the past years.

I didn't imagine

I could see you again.

Right,

why are you here in City Yang?

I,

I followed Wuhen here.

Since he became the Head of GuiMen,

his trace became increasingly strange.

Lingyun.

Wuhen,

you scared me.

Lingyun,

why are you here?

I just passed by,

and heard something.

Right, there was a person there just now.

Person?

Where is it?

You must have seen it wrong.

There is no person.

Go back to rest.

I definitely saw it.

I didn't see it.

I found that

he was practicing the abnormal Chaluo Needle secretly.

However, Chaluo Needle is not from our sect.

I don't know where he learnt it.

Chaluo Needle.

Chaluo Needle.

Do bring Song Jingzhi back to me!

Do bring Song Jingzhi back to me!

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Detective.

Detective.

All the three murder cases were performed by Wuhen.

[Interrogation Room]

He killed the storyteller

to let me show myself.

And he intended to impute the death of Sun Liu

to me.

Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed!

Accidentally,

it was spoiled by Wei Ahua.

I did the murder!

I did the murder!

Wuhen found that his plan was destroyed,

so he laid the death of the hotel owner

at my door.

[Xianghe Hotel, Yuan Lingyun]

You just need to use your connections.

Don't move.

[Police Office]

His aim was to

drive me to extremity,

and got the Needle of GuiMen.

So, you mean that

in order to shift the blame onto you,

Wuhen murdered the storyteller,

Sun Liu,

and the hotel owner with

what the needle is called?

Chaluo Needle.

If the silver needle is performed to the Fengmen acupoint of people,

they can only be saved within a few seconds.

After that,

people will be crazy permanently,

and hurt people everywhere.

What about Wuhen?

He was seriously injured,

and ran away.

I will figure this out myself.

But

before the case is clear,

you cannot leave City Yang，

and should be available on hand.

OK.

And,

to draw Wuhen out,

we need to find a critical person.

The one that Wei Ahua would rather be the scapegoat and die for,

her son.

Thank you, boy.

Thank you.

There is one more thing.

Is there anyone

called Wei Ahua in your village?

You mean Ahua.

She went to the city to find her son.

She is probably leading a happy life there now.

She has a son.

Yes.

Her son seems to be

the manager of some commerce chamber of City Yang.

And he was on newspaper.

Manager of Tongyun Commerce Chamber, Yu Wangshu.

How to prove it?

Detective.

Detective.

Wei Ahua's paper of sentence is here.

The execution will be in two days.

So fast.

The case is not clear yet.

The superior said the case was being investigated for too long.

Everyone is jittery in the city.

We need to conclude it for people.

Detective Zhao.

I would like to meet Wei Ahua.

Go inside.

Have a seat.

Yu Wangshu was the murderer, right?

No.

I did it.

I am the murderer.

This has nothing to do with Hu.

I am the murderer.

I am the murderer.

No,

I am the murderer.

Auntie.

Why didn't Yu Wangshu come to see you

since you have been here for so long?

Do you

have any difficulties?

I am a useless mother.

I,

that day,

I shouldn't

go to see my son.

OK.

First bow to heaven and earth.

Second bow to parents.

OK.

Bow to your couple.

Bows in marriage.

Bridegroom, bride to serve the tea.

Mom.

I didn't imagine that Yu Wangshu can get Family Ye.

You don't know it.

His mother

Zhou Xiaoyun is the chairman of the commerce chamber.

Dad.

Good, good.

OK.

Happy marriage.

Thanks, mom.

Bravo, bravo.

Bravo, bravo.

Bravo, bravo.

How much?

Thank you, master.

Four cooper coins.

Slow as a turtle,

and you dare ask for four copper coins.

You pauper.

You pauper.

Bumpkin.

Bumpkin.

Pauper.

Go back to your hometown.

Look at your poor image!

Go back to your hometown.

Look at your pauper!

Go away!

It's interesting.

Why are you in the city?

Exactly.

Go back to your hometown.

Manager Yu

Manager Yu

Yu Wangshu

Come.

Come with me.

[Interrogation Room]

Officers, what do you want from me?

Let me ask you.

Where were you three nights ago?

-I hope.... -In Sizhou Alley.

That is to say,

you admitted that you were at the crime scene that day.

Yes.

You also admitted that

you killed Sun Liu with your own hands

and then let your own mother take the blame.

I didn't kill anyone.

The corpse of Sun Liu

has a large number of bruises on the abdomen and brain.

Only you and Wei Ahua were at the scene when the crime took place.

The wound on your hand

just shows that you killed Sun Liu.

Sir,

that's just your own theory.

Do you have any actual evidence that proves I killed the person?

If there isn't any,

due to my busy schedule,

I'm afraid that I will have to leave.

You don't have any conscience, do you?

You killed a person, and then

let your own mother take the blame.

Can you even sleep tight at night?

Officer,

you have to be responsible for your own words.

You said that I killed a person.

Show me the evidence.

Otherwise,

you will have to

quit your job.

Are you threatening me?

Just a kind reminder.

Wei Ahua will be executed tomorrow.

No ugly mom in a son's eyes，

no poor master in a dog's mind.

Your mother came a long way to see you

because she missed you.

What about you?

For the sake of so-called vanity,

not only did you deny her existence,

but also let her take the blame.

Are you still a human being?

Don't forget that

you mother raised you with strenuous efforts.

The scar on her face

is the consequence of saving you.

Don't you remember that

how much pain your mother has suffered for you?

Without a heart,

there is no use living in the world.

Are you done?

You know what?

If your mother hadn't insisted that

she herself was the killer,

do you really think there's nothing we can do about you?

Wujie, you are back.

Look at the mess in this house.

How long has it been since you cleaned your house?

It's really evil-hearted!

She killed so many people.

What a feud!

She deserves to be punished.

Mother, I'm home.

Do you know that

the idiot in the village

is getting married!

What are you doing?

Are you drying peppers?

Let me do it, mother.

No.

You do it every time.

After that, the hand pain will last for several days.

Let me do it.

Mother.

I want to work outside.

To make money.

Make your life better.

OK.

Then you should go out for an adventure.

Don't worry about your mother.

It's been so long.

Don't know if Hu is doing well outside.

Hu.

Hu...!

Not you.

I'm too old.

The eyes are not working well.

Ready.

Mother.

Mother, mother.

Mother, mother.

Master.

Master.

Why don't you knock on the door?

I,

I did.

Someone sent this to you.

Look, mom made you meatloaf.

Meatloaf.

Your uncle's family killed a pig.

I took some meat.

There's more.

Eat them all.

Mother, you should eat some, too.

I do not like to eat meat.

Eat more please.

I'll make you more.

Three.

Hu.

Hu.

Mother,

why are you here?

I brought you meatloaf.

You can eat them along the road.

When working outside,

you should take care of your health.

-Be safe. N\-I know.

It's late. You should go home.

I should get going.

What's wrong, mother?

Son,

when working outside,

if you miss home

or are bullied,

you can always come home.

Come home.

Mother

is always here waiting for you at home.

I will be satisfied

if you get married

and be safe.

Two.

Hu.

Hu.

How are you doing?

Hu.

Are you okay?

Hu.

Mother,

I want to work outside.

To make money.

Make your life better.

You can rest assured.

Once I earn my money,

I will take you back,

back to the city.

I will show my filial piety for you.

-I didn't kill anyone. -Hu.

I didn't kill anyone.

Hu.

I didn't...I didn't kill anyone.

I didn't.

Hu.

They are coming.

Leave.

Leave.

I've killed someone.

Leave!

Your mother

just want the best of you.

One.

Wait!

Mother.

Don't shoot.

Don't come here.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Why are you here?

Hu.

This....

This has nothing to do with my mother.

I'm the murderer.

I'm the murderer.

Hu.

What are you talking about?

Sir,

don't listen to him.

I'm the murderer.

Just execute me.

Come on, execute me.

Mother.

Sir.

Mother.

Mother.

I'm being ungrateful.

No.

I went to the hotel the other day and couldn't find you.

No.

So I....

No.

Put the gun down.

Untie him.

Yes.

My Son.

Hu.

I don't blame you.

It's my fault.

If I hadn't come to the city to look for you,

Mother.

none of this would have happened.

It's me who was being possessed.

And I've done such ungrateful stuff.

Mother.

Sorry.

It's me who didn't take good care of you.

I made you suffer.

Sorry.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Sir,

Watch out!

There's another person.

His name is....

Hu.

Hu.

Hu.

Hu.

Hu, are you okay?

Hu.

Hu, wake up!

Hu.

Secure the site.

You can't leave me.

I can't live without you.

Son.

[The Memorial Tablet of My Dear Master, Yuan Tianqi]

Master.

Wuhen bullied the teacher and killed the ancestor,

and has committed heinous sins.

Wujie,

in order to lure you in,

I've had a lot of trouble.

So you killed all those people!

You and I are in GuiMen at the same time.

Why are you the one in charge?

And Lingyun is also always in your favor.

That old man Yuan Tianqi

also taught you the Needle of GuiMen.

Why am I inferior to you in every way?

Wuhen is being blinded by greed.

He has committed outrageous sins.

So it was you who killed the master back then!

If the master had not taken us in,

we would have been starved to death in the streets.

So what?

It's you

who caused the death of that old man Yuan Tianqi.

Wuhen used Chaluo Needle to kill you back then.

Now,

he has killed so many innocent people.

Master,

[The Memorial Tablet of My Dear Master, Yuan Tianqi]

I'll definitely seek justice

for GuiMen and those people who died in vain.

[GuiMen]

Someone has hurt the master!

Master!

Master, master, master.

Master, master, master.

Master, are you okay, master.

Master.

Wujie.

How dare you hurt the master!

Lingyun,

there can be no more delays.

Wujie.

You piece of bastard!

I'll fight with you till death!

I'll fight with you till death!

Wujie, the disciple of GuiMen, attempted to kill his master.

And hurt his fellow disciples.

Now he shall be exiled.

Dad and I trusted him so much.

Why?

[GuiMen]

Seeing is believing.

GuiMen actually exists.

Why the hell does GuiMen look like this?

I mean, Song,

the GuiMen....

Back off!

Back off.

Song!

He is possessed.

I should shoot him dead.

Detective Zhao,

he's one of the disciples of our sect.

Please do not hurt him.

Song.

I didn't expect Wuhen

to have used the Chaluo Needle to hurt you.

Wujie!

Wujie!

We're back.

Wujie, I dare not do it anymore.

Please do not tell the master.

Wujie, morning.

Wujie, good morning.

Wujie, morning.

Wujie,

could you please lend me a hand

if my father punishes me?

Wujie,

would you give my acupuncture manipulation a look-over to check it?

Wujie,

my dad is coming. Hurry to hide yourself.

Wujie.

Lingyun.

Wujie.

Do not come over.

Watch out.

Let her go.

You bastard!

It's you who harmed our brothers.

After master's death,

she should be your only soft spot.

Do not hurt her.

Don't come over.

I'll strangle her to death if you come closer.

Back off.

Back off!

Do not hurt her.

So how on earth

will you give up?

Give me the Needle of GuiMen.

Wujie,

you can't give it to him.

There will be hell to pay

if he got it.

Who is the present patriarch?

You have no say here.

Shut up.

You killed the master,

took his place as patriarch,

did harm to our brothers,

and totally ruined GuiMen.

How dare you say this here?

-Believe it or...! -Cut the crap.

Give me the Needle of GuiMen.

You are quite arrogant.

Today, I'd like to see which one is faster,

your needle or my bullet?

Watch out.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

You got a helper.

It seems that

you are not going to give me the Needle of GuiMen.

Now, you have two choices.

One is

to give me the Needle of GuiMen.

The other is

to watch Yuan Lingyun die.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

But I can't

trust you.

What about this?

You can take him

as an example.

I...?

No, no, no.

Song Jingzhi.

Song.

I beg...!

Sorry,

Detective Zhao.

The first needle, Ghost's Palace.

The second needle, Ghost's Post.

The third needle, Ghost's Fortress.

The fourth needle, Ghost's Heart.

The fifth needle, Ghost's Path.

The sixth needle, Ghost's Pillar.

The seventh needle, Ghost's Bed.

The eighth needle, Ghost's Market.

The ninth needle, Ghost's Cave.

The tenth needle, Ghost's Hall.

The eleventh needle, Ghost's Hiding-place.

The twelfth needle, Ghost's Obedience.

What about the thirteenth needle?

You are not going to tell me?

Alright.

Wujie,

then with this Chaluo Needle, she will....

I'll say.

Wujie.

No, you can't.

Ghost's Seal in the right manner.

And Ghost's Evil in the wicked manner.

Detective Zhao.

Detective Zhao.

The Needle of GuiMen

brings the living to hell

and meanwhile, makes them puppets.

Go, Detective Zhao.

Kill Song Jingzhi.

No.

Detective.

Detective.

Wujie.

Wuhen.

Wuhen, I'll kill you.

Isn't he our master's favorite disciple?

Now he dies and he can accompany our master forever.

You should feel happy.

Wuhen.

You are always eager for

the thirteenth needle of GuiMen, right?

But have you ever thought about

why our master didn't teach you

the thirteenth needle?

Those acupuncture manipulations

and miraculous nature of Yin and Yang

are to help and save people.

But you

would rather ruin everything else

just in order to achieve your own purpose.

Have you ever thought that

those who were hurt or killed by you

were all innocent?

To be honest,

I didn't feel truly happy during these years

until I saw

Wei Ahua found his son on execution ground.

I then realized

that love is great.

Love conquers everything.

But you are never aware of that.

You know?

The master didn't teach me the thirteenth needle, either.

There's no secret spell

about the thirteenth needle.

Only a man with a kind heart

can pick it up.

Wujie, go to hell!

At this moment,

why are you still so stubborn?

Lingyun.

Hold on.

I'll save you.

Master,

what's wrong with you?

Master has got Soulless Disease.

I know how to treat him.

Master. Master.

Master.

I know how to treat him.

Let me save him.

Master.

You are just not mature enough.

You should learn from Wujie.

The inherent problem should be solved when you visit a patient.

And so does being a man.

The inherent part of a man should be right.

Master,

you look quite exhausted.

Why not let me give you acupuncture

and help you relax and refresh?

You...!

This acupoint....

The Chaluo Needle.

[GuiMen]

Wujie.

Wujie.

Wujie.

Wake up!

Wujie.

Wujie.

Wujie.

Lingyun.

Are you alright?

You wretch.

Why didn't you tell me it hurts so much?

What about the stab?

You....

You almost killed me.

Wuhen is determined to get the Needle of GuiMen.

So, he will definitely come to me again.

Then,

no matter what happens,

please cooperate with me

and show him a play.

I'm afraid the knife had gotten tilted

and you would die.

Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

You two were both injured.

Wait a minute.

I'll find some helpers.

♫ The underground world of martial arts is no more than passing clouds ♫

♫ Not everything goes at will ♫

♫ I wander around or stop for the injustice ♫

♫ That gaze and which gaze? ♫

♫ All is written in legends ♫

♫ Under the cover of night, I climb over the wall ♫

♫ With my sword upward, I ask the old master how much his life is ♫

♫ With this beacon, I make a living wandering to the world ♫

♫ In order to meet you, I turn the whole world upside down ♫

♫ Under the cover of night, I climb over the wall ♫

♫ With my sword upward, I ask the old master how much his life is ♫

♫ With this beacon, I make a living wandering to the world ♫

♫ In order to meet you, I turn the whole world upside down ♫
