Look.

That's Yin-Yang Mountain.

We've been guarding it

for generations.

Grandpa.

Tell me the legends of the Mountain Guardians.

You want to hear stories?

Okay.

That is

a story from over 100 years ago.

We've located it.

Ignition.

Tuchun. [*A Chinese military governor]

We've found the entrance.

Great.

I'll get

all the treasures.

Congratulations.

We'll deliver the weapons as agreed.

It's a win-win.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

You can't dig it.

There is a wolf demon in Beimang Mountain.

You'll be punished.

Hmph.

You scruffy Taoist looking for trouble?

Tie him up.

I'm the Mountain Guardian.

This mountain

is an inheritance.

If you destroy it,

you'll be in trouble.

Blow it apart.

You can't do this.

You can't do this.

You can't.

Father.

Father.

[Mountain Guardians]

Charge.

Charge.

- Charge. - Charge.

Follow me.

Hurry up.

Charge, everyone.

Come on.

Here.

Here.

Open it.

Hmph.

Open it.

Open it.

A wolf demon?

Is it dead?

Bad luck.

Let's go.

The treasures are just ahead.

Let's go.

Tuchun.

The wolf demon is gone.

Run!

Quick.

Father.

The wolf demon is awake.

Laimao, Ergou.

It is not fully recovered yet.

Seize this opportunity.

Laimao, Ergou. Cast spells.

Come on.

Demon Vanquishing Banner.

Demon Binding Net.

The wolf demon is still so strong even when injured.

This formation

probably won't hold it for long.

Master, you're hurt.

Give me glutinous rice.

OK.

Does it hurt?

No.

Uncle Qi. How is it?

The cave is dangerous.

Quickly seal the entrance with dirt.

Hurry up.

Seal it.

Got it.

Hmph.

I told you not to blow it.

Yet you insisted.

Now you're in trouble.

Taoist Mao.

Are you okay?

Once the wolf demon wakes up,

activate the Holy Exorcism Formation.

Seal...

Seal it.

I see.

Let's go back to the Coffin Home. [*A temporary coffin depository]

I'll treat you.

This Soul Suppressing Token

is the heirloom of the Mountain Guardians.

I'll entrust Ziyan

and the Soul Suppressing Token

to you, Uncle Qi.

I won't fail you.

Father.

You'll be all right.

Father.

Ziyan.

Don't...

Don't

avenge me.

- Father. - Taoist Mao.

Father.

Laimao, Ergou.

Set the altar.

Left in the Southern Dipper. Right in the Big Dipper.

Abracadabra.

Celestial Masters and Zhenrens come to our aid,

revealing the divine power of the 28 constellations.

Qian.

Kun.

Zhen.

Kan.

Gen.

Xun.

Li.

Dui. [*Refers to Chinese Bagua trigram]

The divine tool suppresses the soul as I order.

Seal.

Father.

[Here lies Mao Daorong, a man of honor] Rest in peace.

I'll carry on your mission

as a Mountain Guardian.

Sorry for your loss.

Ziyan.

Taoist Mao entrusted you to me.

Move into the Coffin Home

if you want to.

Thank you, Uncle Qi.

I come from a long line of Mountain Guardians.

I have to fulfill my father's last wish on the mountain.

Mountain Guardians?

Who on earth is buried in Beimang Mountain?

My ancestors

have guarded the mountain for thousands of years.

Even my father didn't know that.

It must be someone great,

like an emperor.

Come on.

Now that you are unwilling to move into the Coffin Home,

I respect your wishes.

It's not far from the Coffin Home here.

Come to me

if you need help.

Shibo Mao. [*Respectful term for elders in Taoism]

Rest in peace.

[In elegant writings, vulgar minds find little pleasure]

[They lack discerning eyes to appreciate them]

Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi.

Are our injuries serious?

I wonder that, too.

You have to take it seriously.

That

is a bloodthirsty wolf demon.

You were injured by her

and infected with Bloodwolf Venom.

Well...

The wolf venom

is extremely yin and cold. [*Originated in Chinese philosophy]

If the infected

are not treated in time,

they will be delirious.

Then...

Then please save us, Uncle Qi.

We, the Hu brothers,

owe you big time.

Thank you so much.

Why did you two

go into the cave?

Our ancestors are Mo...

We were tricked by the tuchun.

Divine in prosperous times.

Rob graves in turbulent times.

Remember the founder's rules.

Don't do evil.

Got it.

Summon the Divine Insects with my blood. [*In Japanese]

Summon the Divine Insects with my blood.

Summon the Divine Insects with my blood.

Summon the Divine Insects with my blood.

I have no regrets in life. To serve is an honor.

Go.

It's past midnight.

Lian must be missing me.

Lian.

Lian.

Lian.

Lian.

She left the door open for me.

Lian.

I missed you.

Lian.

I brought you fish.

Lian.

What's wrong?

Your parents are not back yet?

[The spirit tablet of the grandmother, Mrs. Mao-Li]

[The spirit tablet of the uncle, Mao Daoyuan]

[The spirit tablet of the benevolent father, Mao Daorong]

[The spirit tablet of the benevolent mother, Mrs. Mao-Yang]

Ba.

Let's bail out of here.

What's the rush?

We can get free food and rooms here.

Let's go after we recover.

Master.

There are many werewolves on the street.

Werewolves?

Sexy female werewolves?

Where did they come from?

It seems they came from the mountain.

The mountain?

What about Ziyan, Master?

What should we do?

Guard the Coffin Home.

I'll go with you.

Forget it.

Those are werewolves.

Abracadabra.

Ziyan.

I'm so sleepy.

Stay with me.

Yu.

Get me the medicine kit now.

Ziyan.

Master.

What did you do to Ziyan?

What could I do?

Go guard the door.

I got the kit.

Father, she's badly injured.

Give me the medicine.

Ergou, prepare some boy's urine.

Four Heavenly Kings overpower the evil.

I command this talisman to protect me.

Lin.

Bing.

Dou.

Zhe.

Jie.

Zhen.

Lie.

Qian.

Xing. [*The Nine Syllables in Chinese Taoism]

What are you doing?

I...

I just shivered.

Me, too.

Why did so many people die overnight?

I heard werewolves appeared last night.

A lot of people died.

Captain Gao,

I was looking for you.

Uncle Qi.

What happened?

Why did werewolves appear?

I haven't figured it out yet.

But

the Bloodwolf Venom is contagious.

Well...

Quickly get the dead cremated.

Take the injured to the Coffin Home for treatment.

Hurry up,

or

more and more people will be infected.

OK.

Gao Yuan.

Assemble the security team now.

Got it.

Everyone.

I'm Gao Fei from the security team.

From now on,

all the dead

will be taken to the northern suburbs for cremation.

All the injured will be taken

to the Coffin Home for treatment.

Hurry up.

Besides,

please tell the tuchun

to order a curfew right now.

Lock down the county after dark.

No one is allowed on the streets.

Uncle Qi.

I'll report to the tuchun at once.

Good.

[Coffin Home]

Father, Ziyan is awake.

Be careful.

Where am I?

This is the Coffin Home. My father saved you yesterday.

Thank you, Uncle Qi.

Ziyan.

You're badly injured.

Rest well here.

Oh.

The porridge is ready. I'll go get some for you.

Uncle Qi.

Your injuries are serious.

Stay in bed.

I have to go back to the mountain.

My father's spirit tablet is still there.

Alright.

I'll go with you.

Everyone calls you Uncle Qi.

What's your real name?

It...

It's not a very pretty name.

Just call me Uncle Qi.

Tell me, please.

I want to know it.

What's your real name?

Lin Qizai.

Qizai.

Qizai.

Bad boy.

You ate poop again.

You never change.

Uncle Qi.

Qizai.

That's a rather cute name.

Who are they?

Onmyōji from Dongyang. [*Chinese term used to refer to Japan]

What are they doing here?

Tuchun.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

Welcome, Mr. Ishii Matsu.

It's an honor to have you here.

Please come in.

[Tuchun's Mansion]

Come on.

Try this green tea.

It's top-notch.

I mean it.

Thank you, Tuchun.

By the way,

have you given any thought

to working together again, as I mentioned last time?

Well,

it's difficult.

We blew up the mountain and drew werewolves.

Now the county is a mess.

I

am the tuchun of this county.

I can't explain it

to my people.

I can handle

the werewolves,

as long as you

remove the defenses from the mountain.

No way.

I can't risk it again.

I'll suffer losses.

I see.

I'll give you a satisfactory reply.

Come on.

Have tea.

Taoist Mao.

Don't worry.

As long as I'm alive,

I'll help you Ziyan guard Beimang.

Father.

I'm sorry.

I can't avenge you.

A week after your death,

I'll kill the tuchun.

Ziyan.

You must not entertain such thoughts.

It's only natural for a daughter to avenge her father.

Why can't I do that?

Taoist Mao told you

not to avenge him.

The tuchun has many soldiers.

If something happens to you,

how can I face your father in heaven?

In this world,

you're the nicest person I've ever met except for my father, Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin?

I...

By the way,

what is going on

with the werewolves on the mountain?

Well.

They have been infected with wolf venom.

They come out to kill people every night.

I'm investigating the origins of wolf venom.

Tuchun.

Shall we issue

the curfew order now?

We have no time to waste.

Let them be.

Tell the security team

to stay in the Tuchun's Mansion.

They have to guard the Tuchun's Mansion.

But...

Stop it. Read the room!

Didn't you see my honored guest?

Got it.

Fei.

Go up to the mountain now and get the dead cremated.

One more thing.

Find a way to inform the people in the county

not to come out at night.

Yes.

Go ahead.

What is the tuchun up to?

It's getting late.

Let's go back.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Will the werewolves attack tonight?

Master said

there would be a full moon tonight.

Werewolves

will surely show.

Right, Master?

They don't seem to have been infected with wolf venom

but seem to be controlled by some force.

Master.

Werewolves are here.

Let's go.

Darn it.

Hello.

Master, help!

Ergou.

Help!

Thank you.

May I know your name?

I'm Ishii Matsu.

Uncle Qi, I've heard a great deal about you.

I'm honored

to meet you.

You know me?

Long ago.

You're an Onmyōji from Dongyang. Why did you come to Longxing Town?

Worldwide Taoism shares the same origin and roots.

I'm from the Ishii family.

I traveled here

to trace my origins.

I didn't expect

to see werewolves here,

so I simply offered a helping hand.

You seem to know how these werewolves came to be.

From what I can tell,

the werewolves are wreaking havoc.

To annihilate them,

we have to kill the wolf demon on Beimang.

I don't think so.

We can't intrude on Beimang.

It's related to many people's lives.

Please think it over.

Master.

You learned the seal on the spot

from the Soul Suppressing Token.

Is it reliable?

Shush.

My Divine Insects

are the bane of wolf demons.

I can help you.

No need.

We can handle it ourselves.

We're leaving.

Master.

Master.

We're leaving.

We're leaving.

Master.

Master.

Master,

why did we help them?

Well.

Looks like we took a detour.

The tuchun is our best bet for a breakthrough.

[Coffin Home]

Quick.

Quick.

Let's go.

You two.

Where are you going?

Uncle Qi, thank you for taking care of us.

We've recovered.

So I think

it's time for us to move.

All right then.

I can imagine it's a bit awkward for you to stay here.

Be careful on the way.

Thank you, Uncle Qi.

We're leaving.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Wait.

I've been wanting to ask you

what is in the cave.

To be honest...

many years ago,

we entered there through a grave-robbing tunnel.

Yet there was a big stone door inside.

It was made of a whole stone. We couldn't open it at all.

So we had to exit.

We got nothing valuable.

We just found a mysterious pattern.

So we made a rubbing of it.

[Bounty] Who knew the tuchun

would offer a big reward for this pattern?

So we got involved in it.

What pattern?

Jiu.

Please keep this.

If we had known there was a wolf demon in it,

we wouldn't have gone there.

Exactly.

So the tuchun is looking for this pattern?

It seems those Dongyang people are also looking for it.

They have a deal with the tuchun.

The Dongyang people have been coveting

our ancestors' treasures for a long time.

We're leaving, Uncle Qi.

We're leaving, Uncle Qi.

I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere.

Father.

Bad news.

Ziyan is going to assassinate the tuchun.

Dear Mr. Lin,

thank you for taking care of me.

I don't want to get you in trouble.

I'll kill the tuchun to avenge my father.

After I die,

please bury me beside my father.

Oh, no.

Take it.

Mr. Lin?

Who is this guy surnamed Lin?

Quickly deliver it.

OK.

What's wrong with you?

Bring the fruit to the main residence now.

Some important guests will come later.

Girl,

I never met you before.

You're new here, right?

Do you know the rules here?

Tuchun.

Please teach me.

Good.

Girl.

Come on.

Peel an apple for me.

[Tuchun's Mansion]

Stop.

Report to the tuchun. I have something urgent to tell him.

Go away. Who are you to meet the tuchun?

It's related to human lives. Let me in.

Stop, or I'll kill you.

No, please.

What are you doing?

Uncle Qi, why did you come here?

Go report to the tuchun.

I have something urgent to tell him.

I'm on it.

Mr. Ishii.

Welcome.

Is the tuchun here?

Tu...

I brought a big gift

for him.

This is indeed a fine item.

Mr. Ishii, excuse me.

I'll go report to the tuchun.

Who are you?

How dare you assassinate me!

I'm Mao Ziyan.

I'll kill you to avenge my father.

You're so beautiful.

You want to kill me?

Just kill me in bed, then.

[Tuchun's Mansion]

Girl,

I'll teach you a lesson.

Tuchun.

Tuchun.

Mr. Ishii is here.

You...

What's wrong with you?

Don't you see I'm in the middle of something?

Get out.

I'll be done in three minutes.

The Dongyang people came with a big gift.

What is it?

Good.

Keep an eye on this girl.

Got it.

I'll deal

with you at night.

Take care, Tuchun.

Mr. Ishii.

Welcome.

Tuchun.

Your face...

I was scratched

by my prey.

Tuchun.

This is a heavy machine gun from a Dongyang arms dealer.

I prepared 20 of such guns for you.

I hope we can work together in the future.

You're being so kind.

As agreed,

after Beimang Mountain is excavated,

all the treasures inside will be yours.

I only want one thing.

Treasures? I don't understand.

But

we indeed have to excavate Beimang Mountain.

Werewolves will keep harassing us unless the wolf demon is killed.

The common people cannot live in peace.

Exactly.

Tuchun, Uncle Qi wants to see you.

He insists on seeing you.

What's wrong with you?

Didn't you see my honored guests?

I won't see him.

Drive him away.

No, Tuchun.

Uncle Qi is familiar with the traps in the cave.

We have to go into the cave with him

to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Oh.

What a bad day!

You heard that?

Got it.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I'll take my leave now.

Walk the guests out through the back door.

Got it.

This way, please.

Uncle Qi.

What are you looking for?

Tuchun.

What's wrong with your face?

It's none of your business.

What's the matter?

I...

The wolf demon has appeared.

I want you to order a curfew

to protect the people.

You have the nerve to say this.

Your formation failed to guard Beimang Mountain.

So the werewolves are making trouble now.

You're blaming us?

If you had not blasted open the entrance,

how else could the werewolves have wreaked havoc?

My disciple was rude.

Please forgive him.

I'll just come right to the point.

In my opinion,

we can only excavate

the mountain

and kill the wolf demon

to solve all the trouble.

No.

Once the wolf demon is released, there will be endless disasters.

The world will be destroyed.

The wolf demon?

You can handle it.

Let's talk about it later.

Tuchun.

Did you see Ziyan?

You came for that girl?

How dare you

collude with a rebel

to assassinate me!

She is young

and naive.

Her father just died.

Naturally, she got impulsive.

Please let her go

for my sake.

Alright.

I'll do you a favor.

Yet

you have to promise

you'll kill the wolf demon.

Uncle Qi.

To protect the people in the county

and wipe out the werewolves,

you

are obliged to do it.

And that girl.

If not

for your sake,

I would kill her now.

Okay.

I promise you.

That's more like it.

Good.

But I have a request.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

When I deal with the wolf demon on Beimang Mountain,

be sure not to disturb anything inside the cave.

Don't let the Dongyang people go in there

or take any treasure away.

OK, I swear

I won't touch anything on the mountain

or allow the Dongyang people to interfere.

Besides,

I'll take Ziyan away.

Alright.

After tonight.

I'll send her

to you

tomorrow.

No.

I'll take her away now.

I

didn't see her.

I saw her run toward the backyard.

You idiot!

Are your family members all stupid?

[Coffin Home]

I can't face people anymore.

Ziyan.

It's fine now.

Don't cry.

Don't be sad.

Rest assured. We won't tell anyone.

It's okay, Ziyan.

No matter what happens to you,

I won't judge you.

You...

Master,

I've found it.

Master,

what is this pattern on earth?

Yin-Yang Talisman.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was brought to Dongyang with the envoys to Tang.

Now most of the handwritten copies left in the country are incomplete.

Beimang Mountain?

What exactly is buried there?

By the way,

don't tell Ziyan what we promised the tuchun today.

Remember that?

I can speak a little Dongyang language.

Who are you?

My name is Miko.

Nice to meet you.

Laimao, you can speak Dongyang language, right?

Reply to her.

Hello.

I'm good at Chinese.

I'm not good at Dongyang language.

Not...

Master.

Hello, Uncle Qi.

I have been entrusted by Mr. Ishii Matsu

to invite you to have some tea at the Yuxin Dojo.

We are looking forward to your esteemed presence.

Master,

they're inviting us to drink something.

No need for your translation.

Master,

shall we go?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Please lead the way.

Yes.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

[Yuxin Dojo]

Yes.

Yes.

I am...

Hurry up.

What's wrong?

My leg is cramping.

Wait here for me.

Master, please be careful.

Hurry.

Please have some tea.

Uncle Qi, don't mind her.

She is my Shikigami.

What is a Shikigami?

Our Onmyodo stands out as a unique and distinctive school.

Over thousands of years,

Dongyang has developed its own schools of Onmyodo.

We believe

humans and demons can coexist.

Everything is equal in the world.

So,

we made a pact with demons.

Humans and demons coexist without interfering with each other.

They are called Shikigami.

A demon is a demon.

A human being is a human being.

For them to coexist peacefully, it is necessary to establish boundaries.

Ignoring their differences

is nothing more than self-deception.

The Shikigami and its master sign a blood contract,

sharing in each other's glory

and losses alike.

They are like family or friends

to us.

Why can't we coexist?

I guess they're not your family,

but your slaves.

Slaves

can also be our family.

No one is content to be a servant.

Where there is oppression,

there is rebellion.

Enhancing strength

through nurturing demons

is indeed a shortcut,

but it is the way of black magic.

Shikigami won't be subjugated by humans forever.

Given the chance,

they will inevitably turn on and harm their masters.

Uncle Qi,

I'll prove it to you.

I nurture the Divine Insects

with my blood.

As their master, they shall forever obey my commands.

Onmyodo neglects the fundamentals and seeks quick success.

It eventually evolved into a form of dark magic in Dongyang.

Uncle Qi,

the insect is the bane of wolf demons.

Fighting fire with fire,

we can surely eliminate the wolf demon.

With the Divine Insects protecting us,

we can definitely achieve success.

No need.

People of different principles do not work together.

I'll take my leave.

Master,

please calm your anger.

Mr. Lin.

Ziyan,

what brought you here?

You should

get more rest.

Mr. Lin,

since my father passed away,

you've been the only one who has been truly good to me.

Ziyan,

don't read too much into it.

I...

You saved me several times.

In my heart,

I've long considered you as family.

Why are there so many annoying people in the world?

They are as disgusting as maggots and cockroaches.

But

we have no choice

but to associate with them.

Master,

please don't be angry.

I am

willing to do anything

for you.

Ziyan,

there's something I don't want

to keep from you any longer.

I've promised the tuchun

to blow up Beimang

and eliminate the wolf demon.

What?

To thoroughly eliminate the wolf demon

for the people in the county,

I can only do this.

You can't.

Haven't you promised my father

to guard Beimang forever?

Listen to my explanation.

At present, the wolf demon is rampant.

Only by eliminating it can we permanently eliminate the threat.

Liar!

Even you have also deceived me.

You are in cahoots with Tuchun Shen.

It's not what you think.

Tuchun Shen made a vow

that they wouldn't disturb the things in the cave

or allow the Dongyang people to enter.

I can't take in

a word of it.

You lied to me.

I didn't.

You lied to me.

I didn't

Ziyan.

You dare seduce me?

Sorry, Master.

I just wanted to comfort you.

Do you know why the ancestor's name has been changed?

I told you

before I restored my family's glory,

I couldn't have any desire.

Sorry, Master.

Sorry.

Go away.

[Respect Tao and Value Virtue] Stand at ease.

Attention!

Tuchun,

the security team is assembled and ready

for your orders.

Brothers,

the werewolves are causing chaos.

The common people cannot live in peace.

Tomorrow,

we will blow up Beimang

and eliminate the wolf demon

for the people.

After it's done,

every one of you can get

five hundred yuan

in cash.

For the people.

For the people.

For the people.

For the people.

After you enter the cave...

For the people.

Burn the coffin

- For the people. - and dig out

- For the people. - all the treasures.

For the people.

Leave no one alive

who knows about it.

Understood.

Including Uncle Qi.

Uncle...

Ba,

it's so late now.

It's difficult to find an inn.

Let's just find a place to stay.

Okay?

Fine.

You're looking for an inn?

I have a nice place.

Go with me?

Well,

can the two of us

go?

Sure.

[Yuxin Dojo]

Well...

[The spirit tablet of the benevolent father, Mao Daorong]

Father,

I'm useless.

I couldn't avenge you by killing the tuchun.

Now,

I can't even protect Beimang.

Father,

what should I do?

[The spirit tablet of the benevolent father, Mao Daorong]

To thoroughly eliminate the wolf demon

for the people in the county,

I can only do this.

Mr. Lin.

Uncle Qi,

we'll count on you.

Ergou, Yu,

you stay outside.

Laimao and I will go in.

This way, if anything happens to me,

at least Maoshan Taoism won't die out.

Father.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Ziyan?

Why are you here?

Ziyan.

Ziyan.

I know

the Soul Suppressing Token can subdue the wolf demon.

Come back safely.

I'll wait for you.

Uncle Qi,

time to set off.

Still flirting with the girl now?

Let's go.

Laimao, let's go.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Follow closely. Hurry.

Hurry.

Stop.

Oh no.

They have been infected with wolf venom.

Upon encountering strangers, they will transform.

Sh-Shoot!

Laimao, attack!

Uncle Qi, awesome!

I'll get you some girls tonight.

Laimao, use glutinous rice!

Master,

it works.

These werewolves seem to be different from the ones outside.

Oh no.

Stop him!

Chase after them!

Hurry.

What are you doing?

Let go!

Let go of me!

Let go of me! What are you doing?

Take them back

to the Tuchun's Mansion.

Keep a close eye on them,

especially this girl.

Despicable.

Tuchun.

Let go!

Is the show about to begin?

Mr. Ishii,

please.

You despicable man,

you are faithless and treacherous.

You promised us not to let the Dongyang people enter the cave.

- Let go of me! - Let go!

Let go of me!

Go.

Ziyan!

I'll fight you to the end!

No...

Don't shoot.

What if you hurt Uncle Qi?

You are not allowed to be here.

We're only here because we have to be...

Captain Gao,

the treasures are right ahead.

What are you waiting for?

Let's go.

Follow them.

Follow closely.

What do you want to do?

Move.

Move.

The treasures are inside.

If you want them, get them yourselves.

Captain Gao,

I'll leave it to you.

Understood.

Everyone,

chisel it open!

Yes.

Mr. Lin.

Master.

Ziyan.

Ziyan.

Only a Mountain Guardian's blood can activate the Soul Suppressing Token.

Ziyan.

Ziyan.

Mr. Lin,

I'm so sleepy.

No.

No.

Stay with me, Ziyan.

My father seems to have come to pick me up.

Let's go, Ziyan.

Ziyan,

let's go home.

Let's go home.

Father,

I've grown taller.

Let's go home.

Ziyan.

Ziyan.

Ziyan.

Qizai. That's a rather cute name.

You saved me several times.

Azure Loong.

Oh my God!

Master,

don't be sad.

Ziyan,

these treasures have been guarded by the Mao family for generations.

I won't let them have their way.

Loong Essence.

We finally met.

Go in and see if there are treasures.

Yes.

Loong Essence,

I've finally found you.

The treasure in my dream.

Loong Essence?

It turns out the wolf demon is protecting the Loong Essence.

Report.

There are no treasures inside.

What?

- No treasures? - No.

Unbelievable.

You are fooled.

This is the burial place for the Loong Essence.

There are no treasures at all.

The Loong Essence is in my hands. From now on, it's surnamed Ishii.

With the power of the Loong Essence,

I will become immortal.

The revival of Shinto is imminent. [*Japan's native belief system]

You actually set me up?

How dare you!

I won't let you take away the Loong Essence.

Over our dead bodies!

Attack!

You have exhausted your energy.

There's no point in futile resistance.

Break!

Master.

Let's leave by the grave-robbing tunnel. Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Master, wake up.

Uncle Qi.

Here. Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Take my master.

Only through this way can you submit?

You won't have your way!

Where are my men? Where are my treasures?

There are no treasures.

What?

No treasures?

What about the munitions you promised?

Munitions, treasures, and werewolves

were all lies to fool you.

You brat!

How dare you deceive me!

I'll shoot you dead!

Shikigami as wings.

Chop!

Poor guys.

It's your honor to become the food for the Divine Insects.

Hurry.

Laimao.

Uncle Qi.

I have to save...

Uncle Qi.

- Uncle Qi. - Uncle Qi.

Wake up.

We are out of the cave.

Ba, what should we do?

I know there is a cottage in the mountains nearby.

Hurry.

Okay.

Let's go.

You can go.

You are free now.

If you set us free,

aren't you afraid of getting killed by the tuchun?

The tuchun is dead.

Dead?

What?

What about my father?

They fell into the trap set by the Dongyang people.

All of them

died.

No.

That's impossible.

Master.

That's impossible.

Master.

I saw it with my own eyes.

They were all buried in the cave.

Fei!

Fei!

Fei!

I don't believe it.

Master!

Father!

Master!

- Father! - Master!

Father!

Master!

Uncle Qi!

Father!

- Master! - Father!

Father!

Yu,

look.

Master!

Father, are you okay?

Master.

Uncle Qi,

where is my brother?

He died in the cave.

Who did it?

How did he die?

What are you doing?

It must be the Dongyang people's doing.

Master.

Those Dongyang Onmyōji know dark magic.

In order to get the Loong Essence,

they killed all the people.

We made it out

through the grave-robbing tunnel with Uncle Qi

and just barely escaped

with our skins intact.

Master,

where is Laimao?

Laimao

has died.

Laimao.

Laimao.

- Laimao. - Laimao.

Laimao.

In order to save Uncle Qi,

Laimao died a heroic death.

Take revenge.

We must let them repay in blood for what they have done.

Father.

Father.

- Uncle Qi. - Master.

- Master. - Father.

- Uncle Qi. - Father.

- Master. - Uncle Qi.

Master,

the guard company will arrive today.

Shall we prepare to leave?

No.

In ancient times, emperors used

to fast for three days

before receiving or sending off Mr. He's jade

as a sign of piety.

Our nation

is a land of etiquette and civilization.

The Loong Essence is a peerless treasure.

We should fast for three days

before moving it to another place.

Yes.

Our master has been sleeping for two days.

In the past two days, he ate nothing except for the medicine.

Cut it out with the food talk.

All you ever think about is eating.

My father said

the revival grass was the most effective in treating internal injuries.

One, two, one.

The Dongyang people.

Idoit!

Let's go.

One, two, one.

Father.

[The spirit tablet of the benevolent father, Mao Daorong]

Taoist Mao,

I feel ashamed for not living up to your entrustment.

I failed to protect Ziyan.

Now Beimang has been blown up

and the Loong Essence was stolen.

I am guilty towards the Mao family.

Father, don't be sad.

Even if the Loong Essence is stolen,

we can always get it back.

But we're outnumbered.

The Dongyang people know dark magic.

They have many killers.

We are

no match for them.

Uncle Qi

- Uncle Qi. - Uncle Qi.

We were out

getting some medicine

when we saw many Dongyang gunmen being mobilized to go to the Yuxin Dojo.

It seems Ishii Matsu is about to run away.

We can't let him run away.

The ancestral relic must not fall into the hands of foreigners.

We will reclaim the Loong Essence and take revenge.

But they have the advantage in numbers.

If it's just us,

well...

Besides, they have guns.

We also have guns.

Gao Yuan,

what are you doing here?

Uncle Qi,

let's do it together.

My brother

died in the Dongyang people's hands.

And him.

His brother Yong.

And him.

He is just 15 years old.

His father

also died in the cave.

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence! [*Means "Japanese pirates" in Chinese]

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence!

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence!

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence!

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence!

Kill Wokou! Reclaim the Loong Essence!

Reclaim the Loong Essence!

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

One, two, one.

Attention!

Avoid the main road,

take the back path,

and head straight for the ferry crossing.

Master,

we have a reinforced squad.

We don't have to be so cautious.

No.

Take the back path.

Yes.

Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi,

th-they have set off.

Nice.

I thought you local warlords

were just cowards who only bullied the common people

and none of you could be trusted.

Right.

Exactly.

What about now?

Now,

you're real men.

Uncle Qi,

will the Dongyang people really take this back path?

The Dongyang people are cunning

and always resort to shortcuts

and sneak attacks.

They will definitely pass through here.

Wait a minute.

As expected, they're right here waiting for us.

Make a U-turn.

No need.

Hide! Shoot!

Attack!

Father.

I'm injured.

- I'm injured. - Stop shouting.

I'm dying.

Hightail it

out of here while we still can.

Run!

I told you he was unreliable.

What taking revenge?

Nonsense!

What should we do, Father?

Ergou, Yu,

hurry and go.

No. We're in this together.

Go away.

I never like being in anyone's debt.

I'll give everything I owe you back to you!

Leave this Dongyang woman to me.

You do it.

Dongyang Onmyodo originated from Taoism.

You do not appreciate the source of your nourishment,

but instead of returning kindness, you harbor malice

and covet the treasure of the Mao family.

Today,

I will show you

what it means to be a true and distinguished lineage.

In this world, there are no eternal master-disciple relationships.

The facts have proven

that the disciple has long surpassed the master.

Today, I will eliminate you

to cleanse the sect for the founding patriarch.

Save it for when you defeat my Shikigami.

My blood binds the gods to my command.

Shadow Clone Technique.

There is an old saying in China,

"Once the disciple has learned, the master is no longer needed."

That's right.

There is another old saying in China,

"Evil can never prevail over righteousness."

Don't!

I have no regrets in life. To serve is an honor.

Shikigami won't be subjugated by humans forever.

Given the chance,

they will inevitably turn on and harm their masters.

Evil people will eventually be torn apart by their own evil desires.

Ziyan,

I've avenged you.

Father.

Master.

Ergou, Yu,

are you alright?

We are fine.

- Bring it on! - Bring it on!

- Bring it on! - Bring it on!

- Bring it on! - Bring it on!

It's a pity that such a pretty Dongyang woman died.

It's not a pity.

Such women

can be seen everywhere

in Dongyang.

Master,

let's fight our way to Dongyang.

You...

This is the legend about Yin-Yang Mountain.

When you grow up,

you will replace me as the Mountain Guardian.

Okay?

OK.

Grandpa,

the story is not just a bunch of hot air, is it?

Whether it is a bunch of hot air

is not important.

Just remember

our duty

as Mountain Guardians.

OK.

Grandpa,

I will protect every plant

on Beimang Mountain just as you do.

Great.

Great.
