An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 39

In order to save my father, I would use the beads to cure him.

After my father gets fully recovered,

I'll seal it up.

Nobody can use it to cause any disaster.

Easier said than done.

You brought the beads and wanted to seal it up.

But all my family members are put into prison by the empress.

Since then,

let's compete on our capacity.

Nana,

I've told you my secret.

I can be a sincere friend of yours, right?

How about you?

Do you have any secret?

Don't worry.

I'm just a maid servant.

I don't have any secret.

State Preceptor Tian Shu,

you can predict anything clearly.

Why did you let Yuan'an to Suoluo

and bring the beads back?

This is what we call karma.

You and Minghui have karma,

and the same with Yuan'an and Mu Le.

How is she now?

Okay.

Let's take a look.

Come on.

Ill omen!

He is taking the beads to cure his father.

The Nine Divine Beads do have such power.

Let me go.

Look, Zhenzhen.

The same as we expected.

This girl came into the palace just to steal the beads.

Nana,

You almost gain my credit.

I almost considered you as my best friend.

In the temple,

I gave you chance in front of the Buddha.

But you refuse to tell me the truth.

My mom is right.

You get close to me for the beads.

You're lying to me.

Let me explain...

It's not the case. I...

You're caught with it. How can you explain?

You thought you're smart,

and we're all stupid?

Don't you think you're stupid?

Do you know who I am?

Listen, I'm not Nana.

I don't wanna pretend to be her.

Let me tell you.

I came here to take away the beads.

So what?

Remember in my home,

you're the servant and I'm the master.

What?

All of you here,

listen.

My name is Ye yuan'an.

I'm your master. You were the slave.

You pretended to be a slave

just to take the beads away.

I made an arduous journey from Tang to be here.

I just want to find you

and get the beads back to save my family.

What are you crying for?

I have no impression about what you said.

Do you have evidence to prove they're all true?

Do you remember that wooden waist tag?

Mu Le

was your name.

I gave that to you.

You mean this?

That day in the ghost market,

you was almost beaten to death.

I bought you.

You was so quiet in my home

and you didn't smile.

You did nothing else except working and eating gigots.

But I found you look great when smiling.

Then they said,

even the wood could smile.

So I made this name for you.

Zhenzhen,

is what she said true?

Empress, I was lost in wilderness.

I knew nothing about...

Okay. I see.

This is for you.

This is your name on it.

I chose a last name for you.

This "Mu" is much better than "Wood".

Watch out!

Mu Le!

Let me go! Let me go.

The beads used to belong to Suoluo.

I brought the beads back to cure my father.

I didn't remember anything

that I experienced there.

It's meaningless since I can't remember.

You don't have to remind me since it's meaningless.

Do you understand?

Ying,

this woman sneaked in our court,

and gained your trust by cheating

only to get the beads.

She even spreads humor to ruin your reputation.

What will you deal with her?

Mom,

just for stealing the beads,

she should be beheaded.

Good.

Let's go.

Where has she gone?

This way. Come on!

Hurry up! Follow me!

You...you two?

How did you make it here?

How did you find me?

State Preceptor predicted you're in danger.

So I asked empress for permission to save you out.

What did you say?

Please allow me to bring back the beads in Suoluo with guilt.

Yuan'an has been there

and we know nothing about her now.

Lanzhi, you want to bring back the beads

or Ye Yuan'an?

You're wise enough. I wouldn't practice favoritism.

Yuan'an is my friend,

but the beads are of great value and hard to take back.

Obviously she can't manage it.

I ask for permission to go there

to accomplish the mission of taking the beads back

and also I'll save out my friend.

By only doing this, I can complete two missions at the same time.

If you insist, you may go.

Bring the beads back and save Yuan'an.

I do appreciate it.

The way to Suoluo is so long and difficult.

I would like to give you another helper.

Princess,

why are you here?

Then why you?

Why did you visit Empress alone and volunteer to go to Suoluo?

How about me?

I know

that Tian Shu said Yuan'an is in danger.

So you want to save her.

Princess, though you married me,

we're not what they call a couple.

Think carefully, the lose of the beads

has nothing to do with you if you're not my wife.

If I may take the beads back,

everything may be good.

But If can't make it,

I would owe you something.

Empress won't embarrass you out of sympathy.

You're still young.

You're pretty and born into a wealthy family.

All the men in noble families

are still proud to marry you.

I know. You did that on purpose.

You let me go by doing so.

Your story is quite touching.

No.

It took me several days and nights to be in Suoluo.

You asked for permission yesterday

and you're here now. Are you kidding me?

Yuan'an, forget that we have Tian Shu?

Tian Shu made you here.

That's right.

I'm a faithful friend, right?

Here you are!

Take off your mask. I want to see you.

I'm recently practicing a secret kungfu.

I can't see the light.

It'll be in vain if I'm exposed to light.

It's evening now.

Really?

I didn't realize it with my hat.

Well, you little girl must miss you so much

since you haven't seen me so long a time.

I'll let you see.

Don't touch me.

I came to save you from afar.

You shall behave well.

You keep yourself in good health.

Since I left,

your skin has become crystal clear.

Of course!

But how did you make it here?

I took them two here.

They pleaded sincerely for you

and begged me to take them here.

Why didn't you tell me about this before?

I had much hardship on my way here.

Thanks to her,

the great apprentice of the ex-State Preceptor.

She took me to the secret treasure warehouse

and found this magical umbrella.

These years Tian Qiao has been practicing special sorcery.

He worked out such ingenious sorcery to send us here.

Did you see three strangers?

No.

No. Sir.

Did you see three strangers?

No.

Follow me.

Search it.

Yes.

Search everywhere carefully.

The order from the court says

this is an important culprit.

You mustn't miss any clue.

Sir, this is empty.

Nothing found.

Go.

Yes.

You're the one who brought Yuan'an to Suoluo.

Yes, sir! It's me.

Thanks.

I was saved several times by Miss Yuan'an.

I made a vow to sent her to the court safely.

But Miss Yuan'an,

it seems that you didn't finish what you were going to do.

Yes.

I was almost killed.

I knew that.

Miss Yuan'an, I'm wondering who is this?

Me? I'm her master.

You're talking nonsense.

I see.

You're master of Miss Yuan'an.

You look like someone special and outstanding.

Really?

You went too far.

He dressed like this.

People don't know he's ghost or people.

How can you tell he is outstanding?

Miss Yuan'an,

what you said is not right.

I stand beside this master,

but I can't feel his breath and beat.

He must be someone different from us.

I'm practicing the dormancy skill.

It's normal that you can't hear my breath.

Yuan'an, would you like to learn?

I can teach you. It would make you more beautiful.

You can also live a long life by that.

We can't even keep our lives.

You're talking about a long life.

Yuan'an,

it's normal that he refuses to give you the beads.

But why did he try to kill you?

You're already married.

He forgot everything.

What? What happened?

He forgets everything in Tang.

The person who tried to kill me

is the Prince Ying in Suoluo.

And me,

I'm just a thief who tried to steal the beads.

Forgot everything?

Then he's innocent.

If so, you should have given this task to me.

And you didn't have to brag before the empress.

Are you thinking that he would go to you in person,

call you my darling and present the beads to you?

Minghui, listen carefully.

Thank you for saving me out of there.

But you can't make fun of me here.

Maybe I'm not smart. But I know clearly

what I should do for my own business.

Wait and see.

I'm going to kill him.

Enough.

Keep calm.

Minghui.

What's done is done. Please mind your words.

You still care about her!

I'm just trying to be fair.

Why got me involved?

Okay. Stop arguing.

Even if you want get the beads back,

it's impossible now.

You've just saved Yuan'an out.

They must have tight security now.

I should be to blame.

When I collected the beads for Tian Qiao,

we fought for several times.

But I didn't kill him.

I should listen to him and kill Mu Le.

Then we wouldn't get in trouble.

It's useless saying this now!

Can you travel back?

This is not impossible.

What did you say?

Call me master and I'll tell you.

Stop keeping us guessing at this moment!

If you continue,

I drive your beard out...

Stop! Keep calm!

It can help us!

I know the skill of time traveling, which can send you back before.

But it also has a shortcoming.

It'll cost much energy.

It will take a long time before I can use it again.

Wait.

You allowed Mu Le to take the beads back to Suoluo.

Why are you so kind now and send us to kill him?

How could you say that!

My good will is wasted.

Zhao Lanzhi, look at her.

I'm concerned about your family members, who controlled by the Empress are.

That's why I'm helping you.

You piss me off!

Minghui.

State Preceptor, please continue.

You're much more sensible!

But let me tell you beforehand,

even if I send you back,

you may not kill him.

She's the only one who can't do that.

Nonsense.

Listen carefully.

I'm the one who wants to kill him most!

Okay! That's enough.

Let's find somewhere wide.

I'll wield power and send you back.

Come on.

Wait.

Your clothes from Tang are too conspicuous.

You must change them.

Listen.

I'll use my power to reverse time and send you back.

Two hours now equal to a day in the past.

You must count the time correctly and never drag on.

After you finish,

call "Back" three times.

I'll make you back.

But remember the last words I said,

when you were there,

you had better stay away from anyone irrelevant

to avoid meeting them again someday and getting yourselves into trouble.

Do you understand?

What happened?

Kill them!

Back back back.

Why did you say the words when you just arrived?

Miss me?

Did you do it on purpose?

Do you know where we were sent?

Where? Not in the court?

It is.

But we were in front of Mu Le.

There were bowmen around us.

They were trying to kill us.

So sorry.

I'm sorry. it's too near.

They may be wondering who took away the thief.

No wonder they're trying to kill you.

But you shall not blame me on this.

I'm not in good condition.

I didn't eat anything and I need energy now.

I... I don't have much power.

What shall we do?

If you want to be sent a few days ago,

I can send only one.

Let me go there.

Wait.

I should be the one.

You shall trust me.

I've had nothing to do with Mu Le.

I'll kill him.

Don't waste time then. Come on.

There seem some people ahead. Let's go and check.

-Yes. - Go.

I was sent back to kill Mu Le.

What did he do on earth？

You're not reliable!

Find something to eat.

Where is my roast chicken?

It's you?

You've eaten it!

Girl, you have no shame at all.

Who are speaking to?

You!

This little girl is so cruel.

Why are you shouting?

Sir!

Sir!

Something happened.

What's wrong?

This thief!

She stole his roast chicken

and hurt others.

He started the fight.

He could not have died.

Press his philtrum.

Still alive.

How are you?

The officers are coming.

Sir!

You must serve justice for me!

She ate my chicken and hit me.

She almost killed me.

Kneel down.

How can you do this here!

Girl, you're too crusty.

How can you hit him after stealing his food?

I've traveled far and I'm so hungry.

Traveled far?

Where are you from?

Tang in the east.

Tang in the east.

That's a good place.

I've been looking forward to Luoyang.

But I didn't get the time.

That's it!

He hasn't been there.

Everything would be doomed after he goes there.

Tian Shu has sent me to the right place.

I'm gonna kill him.

Stand still!

Let me go.

Let me go! I'm gonna kill him.

She would be the bane if she keeps living here.

But she is pretty.

Though she is mad,

she can be useful to me.

Take her away with me.

Yes! Go.

Go.

Let me go.

We didn't meet before.

Why are you trying to kill me?

Leave it that you stole the chicken.

Just for what you said,

I can kill you.

Then kill me!

But,

I have something for you.

I'll let you go if you do well.

What is it?

A friend of mine is coming here.

He'll talk to you.

You just talk to him.

Chat with him and act accordingly.

Just like this.

So easy.

Yes! That's it!

Every dog has its day.

You used to be my servant,

but now you're ordering me.

Okay! Do as you like.

I do appreciate it. Let's go.

Wait.

God knows what will be coming to me.

Who is it?

I didn't ask who you are.

Why were you tied here?

Little girl.

What are you crying for?

My father is going to sell me to a rich man?

I didn't want to. So he tied me here.

You're not willing to do that?

Why?

He's old and ugly.

Are you willing to? He's over 80 years old.

No.

I wouldn't do that.

Honey, what kind of man would you like to marry?

Young and handsome, someone like you.

You do have a good taste.

It's so dark now.

You can recognize I'm handsome.

Awesome!

Yes!

Since we have feelings towards each other,

could you please untie me?

Okay.

But you shall go with me if I let you go.

Sure!

Deal!

Not there.

Come on!

Let's go.

No hurry!

Wait. I seem to lose my headdress.

Headdress?

Help me to find it.

I can see clearly at night.

Where did you lose it?

There!

Okay!

Catch up with it!

We succeed!

You defrauded me!

So what!

Look at what you did!

You took me as the bait.

You finished your task. You may leave.

Go.

You finished your task, but haven't.

Did you see anything?

Prince, I just felt dizzy just now.

I didn't see clearly what it was.

Monster!

You...

Look at your pretty face!

You are the same as others! You cheated me!

Sorry for that. I was forced.

Damn it! You're forced?

You are two-faced!

All of you girls are too bad!

You have no sympathy at all!

I do hate you all!

I... I just never hit woman!

Or I would hit you into pieces!

Even your mom can't recognize you!

I don't believe it!

Another one.

Yes.

Your friend tried to defraud me!

I'm much better than him!

Listen, this is my domain!

I can come and leave at any time!

Come here!

I could give you a chance.

Then I may forgive you.

Marry me.

Are you mad?

Another poor girl!

Don't even know where she's from.

Who is it?

She seems awake. Look at her.

She's quite pretty.

She seems not from Suoluo.

Yes. She looks different.

She awoke.

Who are you? People or ghosts?

What did you say?

We're the same!

We're all human beings.

What's your relationship?

Why are you here?

His name is Xiao Nan.

We were caught here as you was.

You were robbed here as well?

Yes. When I was in my mango grove,

I was carried off.

I was doing the laundry beside the river.

He seemed like a gust of wind around me.

I was here when I awoke.

He's a pirate for girls!

No wonder Mu Le tried to catch him.

Come here! Come here!

Look at that big bird! So weird.

Let's go. What kind of bird?

What is it?

What kind of bird is it?

I have no idea.

♫ Tired off and lights out, it's about to dawn. ♫

♫ I never speak out my love sickness. ♫

♫ In my dream, we are falling into sweet love. ♫

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

♫ but the passion fades away with time. ♫

♫ I'm stubborn and you're reluctant. ♫

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

♫ We can't be reconciled to the past. ♫

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫

♫ I think we live a worthwhile life. ♫
