Just humble efforts
23
00:08:31,802 --> 00:08:33,386
It's excellent
24
00:08:34,138 --> 00:08:36,139
May I do a portrait for you?
25
00:08:40,269 --> 00:08:40,894
All right
26
00:08:41,604 --> 00:08:42,521
Please take a seat
27
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:54,366
May I know your name?
28
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,201
Ouyang Nian
29
00:08:56,744 --> 00:08:57,827
Mr. Ouyang
30
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:06,169
You must have had a tiring journey
31
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:08,129
How do you know?
32
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:13,093
I know almost everyone in this remote town
33
00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:16,388
I've just arrived
34
00:09:16,472 --> 00:09:18,598
You've lived here all your life?
35
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:20,058
Yes
36
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:23,103
Ah... your hat?
37
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,458
And turn your head to the side
38
00:10:14,697 --> 00:10:16,239
What's your name?
39
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:17,657
Gu Shengzhai.
40
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:18,783
Good morning!
41
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:21,036
Shengzhai!
42
00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:23,622
You're early today
43
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:27,375
Can I offer you some tea?
44
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:29,294
Not now, you're busy. I'll come by later
45
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:30,629
See you
46
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:34,257
Mr. Gu...
47
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:37,886
- Who is he?
- They sell medicinal herbs
48
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:40,639
- What's his name?
- Lu. Why do you ask?
49
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,849
Is he local?
50
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:44,684
No, they came about a month ago
51
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:45,852
He's quite skilled
52
00:10:45,936 --> 00:10:47,687
He has a stall near the temple
53
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:48,980
Why do you ask?
54
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:50,273
No reason
55
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,035
Mr. Ouyang...
56
00:11:02,536 --> 00:11:03,745
I'll be back tomorrow
57
00:14:30,452 --> 00:14:31,703
Mind the step!
58
00:14:37,918 --> 00:14:38,835
Mother!
59
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:39,878
Mr. Shi
60
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:41,254
You're back early, Mr. Gu
61
00:14:41,338 --> 00:14:43,548
- Won't you stay a while?
- Another time
62
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:44,966
See you then
63
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:46,551
- Bye
- Goodbye
64
00:14:47,469 --> 00:14:50,013
Mother, has someone moved in?
65
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:52,390
Who'd dare to live there?
66
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:03,818
Mr. Shi just told your fortune
67
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:06,112
You know what he said?
68
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:07,572
I've no idea
69
00:15:12,661 --> 00:15:13,745
Come and eat
70
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:24,047
He said this is your lucky year
71
00:15:24,798 --> 00:15:26,132
What makes him think that?
72
00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:28,968
I told you, he worked it out
73
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,726
You should take the civil service exam
74
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:37,685
I'm not interested
75
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:38,478
Why not?
76
00:15:38,562 --> 00:15:41,147
Why should a sighted man
take a blind man's advice?
77
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:44,442
Everyone except you wants
to be successful
78
00:15:44,526 --> 00:15:46,235
You're hopeless!
79
00:15:52,201 --> 00:15:54,953
Mother, we may not be rich...
80
00:15:55,913 --> 00:15:59,123
...but we don't starve
81
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:02,961
When I've saved a little more,
I can open a school
82
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,296
Don't be silly!
83
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,215
You want to be a teacher?
84
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:08,675
You know the saying...
85
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:12,345
"Nothing compares to officialdom"
86
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,056
Actually, being a scholar is better!
87
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,600
Why study if you don't want to be an official?
88
00:16:17,685 --> 00:16:19,477
We study to acquire knowledge
89
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:21,562
But you don't seem to know anything
90
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:26,776
You're over thirty now...
91
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,528
...but still not married!
92
00:16:28,612 --> 00:16:29,112
Why not?
93
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:32,615
I'm waiting for the right person
94
00:16:33,075 --> 00:16:34,993
What you mean is, you're too poor!
95
00:16:40,124 --> 00:16:42,125
The Gu family line is going to die out!
96
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:56,723
"In troubled times, I choose safety..."
97
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,853
"...overjostling for rank and fame"
98
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:03,604
Don't quote at me!
99
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:07,358
Save your quotes for the exam!
100
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,949
Oh, you're hopeless!
101
00:24:19,082 --> 00:24:19,707
Mother!
102
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:21,750
What's going on?
103
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:23,836
I...
104
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:25,713
I was looking...
105
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:28,716
...to see if anyone was there
106
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:31,635
Have you gone mad?
107
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,387
No-one lives here
108
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:34,555
Come home!
109
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:37,892
Come on!
110
00:24:43,523 --> 00:24:44,315
Now!
111
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:48,110
You shouldn't be out at this hour
112
00:24:49,112 --> 00:24:50,988
See how dirty your clothes are!
113
00:25:25,607 --> 00:25:27,107
Mr. Gu...
114
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,443
May I ask something?
115
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:30,402
Of course
116
00:25:31,112 --> 00:25:35,282
I hear that Fort Jinglu is near here
117
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,408
It is
118
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:37,660
Have you been there?
119
00:25:38,578 --> 00:25:39,620
I live next to it
120
00:25:41,915 --> 00:25:44,375
They say it's haunted
121
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:49,255
Only those who believe in ghosts!
122
00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:02,017
Mr. Ouyang...
123
00:26:02,102 --> 00:26:04,103
I'll mount the finished portrait
124
00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:05,980
Please tell me tomorrow if you like it
125
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:07,106
Thank you
126
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:13,571
It's better to be wary of ghosts
127
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:17,575
Confucius says, don't speak of such things
128
00:26:20,036 --> 00:26:23,080
I'm afraid I can't agree
129
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:25,332
Goodbye
130
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:44,893
"It's better to be wary of ghosts..."
131
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:56,905
"Taoist exorcism spells"
132
00:28:25,161 --> 00:28:26,245
Mother!
133
00:28:27,414 --> 00:28:28,539
What's all this?
134
00:28:31,584 --> 00:28:33,961
I...
135
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,424
You're behaving like a madman
136
00:28:40,093 --> 00:28:42,386
Let me introduce you
137
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:44,430
This is Miss Yang
138
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:46,724
This is my son
139
00:29:02,323 --> 00:29:03,323
Come
140
00:29:06,953 --> 00:29:08,704
Miss Yang...
141
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:13,709
Just ask if there's anything you need
142
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:21,383
Who is she?
143
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:23,177
Our new neighbour
144
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:25,888
You terrified her last night
145
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:28,098
She scared me too
146
00:29:28,183 --> 00:29:31,477
She's very brave to live there alone
147
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,938
Same as us, she pays no rent
148
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Shengzhai
149
00:29:43,531 --> 00:29:46,533
Mother, why did you visit her?
150
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:48,285
I gave them some needles and thread
151
00:29:48,369 --> 00:29:50,746
They have nothing there
152
00:29:54,042 --> 00:29:55,083
Mother...
153
00:29:57,754 --> 00:29:59,296
Who else is living there?
154
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:03,175
Her bed-ridden mother,
who must be eighty
155
00:30:05,595 --> 00:30:07,846
What's that stick for?
156
00:30:09,557 --> 00:30:11,058
Oh, nothing
157
00:30:11,976 --> 00:30:14,436
What do they do for a living?
158
00:30:14,521 --> 00:30:18,148
Miss Yang sells funeral offerings
159
00:30:18,233 --> 00:30:20,901
She can't be earning much
160
00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:27,407
You're well over thirty...
161
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:28,700
Not again!
162
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:30,452
Don't interrupt me!
163
00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:33,330
Miss Yang is single and in her twenties
164
00:30:33,414 --> 00:30:35,040
Why shouldn't you marry her?
165
00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:37,209
Don't "huh" me
166
00:30:37,293 --> 00:30:38,544
They need someone to depend on
167
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:39,878
And you're not going anywhere
168
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:41,797
You'd make a good couple
169
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:45,759
But Mother...
170
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:46,760
What?
171
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,846
Will she agree?
172
00:30:50,056 --> 00:30:53,183
Why not? Aren't we
good enough for them?
173
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:54,852
It's all up to you
174
00:30:55,311 --> 00:30:57,354
Isn't this just wishful?
175
00:30:58,398 --> 00:31:01,483
Don't be silly, they have nothing!
176
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:03,277
She has nothing to lose by marrying
177
00:31:03,903 --> 00:31:04,945
She'll agree
178
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:08,240
I'll talk to her mother tomorrow
179
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:20,419
Come back early today
180
00:34:34,781 --> 00:34:35,489
Mother!
181
00:34:36,324 --> 00:34:37,407
You scared me!
182
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:39,493
Why aren't you at work?
183
00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:41,661
What did she say?
184
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:44,247
No
185
00:34:53,007 --> 00:34:53,965
Where are you going?
186
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:55,133
To the shop
187
00:34:55,218 --> 00:34:58,095
It's going to rain, don't go today
188
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:04,226
What did her mother say?
189
00:35:05,186 --> 00:35:08,563
She wants her to get married
190
00:35:09,148 --> 00:35:10,732
But Miss Yang says no
191
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:12,442
Why?
192
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:15,445
She wouldn't say
193
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:18,073
She must think we're too poor
194
00:35:19,033 --> 00:35:20,575
If only you had an official rank
195
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:22,077
Not that again!
196
00:35:22,703 --> 00:35:24,412
Take the exam this year!
197
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:29,709
I've said many times...
198
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:30,627
What?
199
00:35:31,337 --> 00:35:34,548
If you had an official post,
she would have agreed
200
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:35,507
Mother...
201
00:35:35,591 --> 00:35:38,677
Go on painting all day and
you can forget about marrying
202
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:39,761
Mother!
203
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:47,102
Excuse me...
204
00:35:47,186 --> 00:35:50,105
No one answered,
so I took the liberty of coming in
205
00:35:51,065 --> 00:35:52,357
Sorry, we were out
206
00:35:52,441 --> 00:35:55,235
This is Mr. Ouyang. My mother
207
00:35:56,279 --> 00:35:57,571
Please have a seat
208
00:35:58,114 --> 00:35:58,822
Pleased to meet you
209
00:35:58,906 --> 00:35:59,948
Do sit down
210
00:36:00,032 --> 00:36:01,908
The place is in a mess
211
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:02,993
Please excuse us
212
00:36:04,745 --> 00:36:06,204
It's a nice room
213
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:07,330
Very small
214
00:36:07,415 --> 00:36:09,332
- It's quiet here
- Have a seat
215
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:12,002
Why weren't you in your shop today?
216
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:14,796
I had some family business here
217
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:20,677
I called at your shop this morning
218
00:36:20,761 --> 00:36:21,928
Sorry...
219
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,180
Your portrait is ready
220
00:36:23,264 --> 00:36:25,432
Give me your frank opinion
221
00:36:28,477 --> 00:36:29,644
It's very good
222
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:30,812
You're too kind
223
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:39,279
A man of your talents
is wasted in this small town
224
00:36:40,948 --> 00:36:44,451
I'm an ordinary man, not so ambitious
225
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:48,288
Why not take the county exam this year?
226
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,248
You think he stands a chance?
227
00:36:51,918 --> 00:36:52,834
Mother!
228
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:57,422
With his talent I'm sure he does
229
00:36:57,506 --> 00:36:58,298
You flatter me
230
00:36:58,382 --> 00:36:59,883
Didn't I tell you?
231
00:36:59,967 --> 00:37:01,468
You must try this year
232
00:37:03,804 --> 00:37:07,682
If you enter, I may be able to help
233
00:37:07,767 --> 00:37:09,059
There's no need
234
00:37:10,144 --> 00:37:13,063
I said you needed connections!
That's wonderful!
235
00:37:14,273 --> 00:37:15,357
I'll be happy to help
236
00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:19,236
I'm much obliged,
but I won't enter this year
237
00:37:20,655 --> 00:37:23,281
Please ignore him, we're relying on you
238
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:23,907
Mother!
239
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:24,616
Just be quiet!
240
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:30,330
Do think it over
241
00:37:30,957 --> 00:37:32,499
When you've made up your mind,
tell me
242
00:37:33,334 --> 00:37:34,626
A token of my respect...
243
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:37,128
It's not my best work
244
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:38,338
Please take it as a gift
245
00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:39,256
Impossible!
246
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:40,882
You're giving me too much!
247
00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:42,592
My set price is 5 taels
248
00:37:42,677 --> 00:37:48,014
That's enough, Shengzhai!
Mr. Ouyang is a friend
249
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:48,723
Mr. Ouyang!
250
00:37:49,809 --> 00:37:51,434
Good-bye, Mrs. Gu
251
00:37:52,353 --> 00:37:53,395
I'll visit again
252
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:55,522
Mother, you...
253
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:58,775
Shall I add your name?
254
00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:00,610
Please do
255
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,447
I'll pick it up from the shop
256
00:38:05,074 --> 00:38:06,324
It's raining, take care
257
00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:08,285
- Please visit anytime
- Goodbye
258
00:38:20,798 --> 00:38:22,924
What a nice man
259
00:38:23,342 --> 00:38:26,136
You should get to know him better
260
00:38:57,209 --> 00:38:57,959
Stop!
261
00:38:58,919 --> 00:38:59,919
Who is it?
262
00:39:04,425 --> 00:39:05,550
Who's there?
263
00:39:21,067 --> 00:39:22,192
General Shi
264
00:39:23,402 --> 00:39:24,569
Who?
265
00:39:44,173 --> 00:39:45,298
Help!
266
00:39:56,018 --> 00:39:57,644
The fortune-teller!
267
00:39:57,728 --> 00:39:58,353
Mr. Shi!
268
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,402
Are you badly hurt?
269
00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:06,486
It's all right
270
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:08,279
I slipped and fell
271
00:40:08,364 --> 00:40:10,740
You're bleeding
272
00:40:10,825 --> 00:40:11,658
Where's my cane?
273
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:13,785
Never mind that, come into the dry
274
00:40:15,329 --> 00:40:16,371
Where's my cane?
275
00:40:21,335 --> 00:40:22,877
My cane!
276
00:40:22,962 --> 00:40:24,129
Where's my cane?
277
00:40:24,213 --> 00:40:26,256
You have a bad gash
278
00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:27,298
My cane!
279
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:28,883
I'll get some medicine
280
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:32,220
My cane!
281
00:40:32,346 --> 00:40:33,304
I'll look for it
282
00:40:38,018 --> 00:40:39,727
See, Miss Yang
283
00:40:43,858 --> 00:40:45,358
Fetch some firewood
284
00:41:00,708 --> 00:41:02,917
- Ouyang Nian found out who you are?
- No
285
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:05,086
But who is that fellow?
286
00:41:09,091 --> 00:41:11,259
Tell Lu Ting'an tomorrow
287
00:41:11,343 --> 00:41:12,177
All right
288
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,804
"Lu Ting'an, Herbalist"
289
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:20,810
You've caught a cold, Mrs. Gu
290
00:41:20,895 --> 00:41:23,646
It isn't serious
291
00:41:23,731 --> 00:41:27,317
Yes, I was out helping
the fortune-teller yesterday
292
00:41:27,401 --> 00:41:31,362
I got drenched in the heavy rain
293
00:41:31,447 --> 00:41:35,408
Last night I had chills,
so I knew I was ill
294
00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:38,244
Dr. Lu will give you medicine
295
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:39,412
You'll soon recover, Mother
296
00:41:39,914 --> 00:41:40,955
What do you know?
297
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,710
Boil this twice and drink the liquid,
and keep warm
298
00:41:45,794 --> 00:41:47,921
You'll be well in no time, don't worry
299
00:41:48,589 --> 00:41:49,714
Let's go
300
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:53,384
The fee...
301
00:41:54,261 --> 00:41:55,220
We can talk about it later
302
00:41:55,304 --> 00:41:57,722
- No, we'd better...
- We'll pay next time
303
00:41:57,806 --> 00:42:00,099
Dr. Lu is a friend, he doesn't mind
304
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:02,560
You can rest in my shop
305
00:42:02,645 --> 00:42:04,229
No, let's go home
306
00:42:04,313 --> 00:42:05,813
Goodbye
307
00:42:58,492 --> 00:42:59,450
Miss Yang!
308
00:43:01,328 --> 00:43:02,745
Don't you recognize me?
309
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,125
Stop!
310
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:39,490
I just want to ask you...
311
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:44,037
Do you know
a blind fortune-teller here?
312
00:44:33,128 --> 00:44:34,045
Take a little rest
313
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:35,630
Wait till we get home
314
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:12,667
Thank you, Miss Yang
315
00:45:14,628 --> 00:45:16,045
What happened to your face?
316
00:45:21,009 --> 00:45:22,301
Do you feel better?
317
00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:27,557
I'm getting too old
318
00:45:27,641 --> 00:45:29,892
Look at all this medicine!
319
00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:49,912
Miss Yang...
320
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:53,708
Please take a rest if you're tired
321
00:45:55,627 --> 00:45:58,838
Did you know the fortune-teller
Mr. Shi before?
322
00:46:03,385 --> 00:46:04,177
No
323
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:16,105
Sorry to put you to all this trouble
324
00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:18,232
You've been up all night
325
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:19,942
You must be exhausted
326
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:26,115
If only I had a daughter-in-law like you
327
00:46:32,623 --> 00:46:35,750
But we're too poor
328
00:46:35,834 --> 00:46:37,168
We're much poorer than you
329
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:45,510
I can't blame you for turning down my son
330
00:46:45,594 --> 00:46:47,428
Get some sleep
331
00:46:51,183 --> 00:46:53,643
Shengzhai has no ambition
332
00:46:53,727 --> 00:46:56,020
He won't even sit for the county exam
333
00:46:56,104 --> 00:46:58,189
He must have his reasons
334
00:46:58,273 --> 00:47:02,610
He's as stubborn as my late husband
335
00:47:02,694 --> 00:47:04,028
He's studied his whole life...
336
00:47:04,112 --> 00:47:06,656
...but didn't want official rank
337
00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:09,784
That's why we're living like this
338
00:47:10,410 --> 00:47:13,621
You should be pleased to have
such a dutiful son
339
00:47:14,122 --> 00:47:15,456
But what good has it done us?
340
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,839
He can't even get a wife
341
00:47:22,923 --> 00:47:26,676
With his talents,
he'll surely find a good match
342
00:47:27,803 --> 00:47:30,847
I've given up hoping
343
00:47:33,016 --> 00:47:37,228
He's over thirty now,
and my health is failing
344
00:47:37,312 --> 00:47:44,318
When I die, the Gu family line will die with me
345
00:48:09,928 --> 00:48:11,596
How much do I owe you, Dr. Lu?
346
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,389
- Later will do
- I insist
347
00:48:14,516 --> 00:48:16,434
Well, one diao and a half is enough
348
00:48:18,770 --> 00:48:19,687
How is your mother?
349
00:48:19,771 --> 00:48:21,063
Much better, thank you
350
00:48:24,651 --> 00:48:28,237
There are agents from the
Eastern Group nosing around
351
00:48:28,322 --> 00:48:30,865
I hear their second-in-command, Men Da,
is coming
352
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,242
Goodbye
353
00:48:38,832 --> 00:48:39,916
Dr. Lu...
354
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,335
Do you know a man named Ouyang Nian?
355
00:48:43,503 --> 00:48:44,712
Ouyang Nian?
356
00:48:48,508 --> 00:48:49,467
No, I don't
357
00:48:49,885 --> 00:48:51,260
Never mind, then
358
00:48:51,386 --> 00:48:52,929
Goodbye
359
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,182
Grandpa, how did he...
360
00:49:06,735 --> 00:49:11,197
"Don't trust Gu Shengzhai"
361
00:50:59,765 --> 00:51:00,639
Mr. Gu...
362
00:51:00,724 --> 00:51:02,725
Come to my home tonight
363
00:51:48,605 --> 00:51:56,403
A jug of wine amid the flowers
364
00:51:57,114 --> 00:52:04,495
Having no company, I drink alone
365
00:52:05,789 --> 00:52:14,380
I raise the cup and invite the moon
366
00:52:15,549 --> 00:52:23,055
With my shadow,
we form a company of three
367
00:52:23,890 --> 00:52:32,982
But alas, the moon doesn't drink
368
00:52:33,859 --> 00:52:41,323
And my shadow merely follows my body
369
00:52:41,992 --> 00:52:51,000
Let the three of us commune,
however briefly
370
00:52:51,877 --> 00:52:59,508
Drink and rejoice in springtime
371
00:53:00,260 --> 00:53:09,476
The moon reels with my song
372
00:53:10,437 --> 00:53:17,985
My shadow moves with my dance
373
00:53:18,612 --> 00:53:28,329
While awake let us seize the moment
374
00:53:29,331 --> 00:53:37,379
For we shall part
after drinking ourfill
375
00:53:38,131 --> 00:53:46,639
Let us ourfriendship cherish
376
00:53:48,266 --> 00:53:58,609
Till the next time,
should we ever meet again
377
00:56:08,281 --> 00:56:19,792
Mr. Gu...
378
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:24,171
You're a lucky man to have such a tryst
379
00:56:26,132 --> 00:56:28,175
Come with me, Miss Yang
380
00:56:28,259 --> 00:56:28,801
Mr. Ouyang!
381
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:35,766
Stay back!
382
00:56:35,850 --> 00:56:37,059
Miss Yang!
383
00:56:37,435 --> 00:56:38,685
You come from an honourable family!
384
00:56:38,770 --> 00:56:40,270
You have done a shameful thing!
385
00:56:40,355 --> 00:56:40,896
Let's go
386
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:42,189
Keep away!
387
01:00:06,436 --> 01:00:08,645
Mr. Gu, what happened to you?
388
01:00:09,397 --> 01:00:11,231
I slipped and fell
389
01:00:19,490 --> 01:00:20,574
Mr. Gu
390
01:00:27,790 --> 01:00:29,082
Gentlemen...
391
01:00:29,167 --> 01:00:30,709
His Highness the Magistrate
wants to see you
392
01:00:35,214 --> 01:00:35,881
What for?
393
01:00:36,424 --> 01:00:38,091
You'll know when you get there
394
01:00:44,474 --> 01:00:45,891
- Gentlemen...
- Hurry!
395
01:00:57,528 --> 01:00:58,528
- Mr. Gu
- Sir
396
01:00:58,613 --> 01:01:00,864
Please make ten copies of this
397
01:01:00,948 --> 01:01:02,240
You'll be paid
398
01:01:03,701 --> 01:01:04,701
Ink!
399
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,037
Take a seat
400
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:25,722
"Yang Huizhen is a criminal at large"
401
01:01:28,309 --> 01:01:32,729
"An imperial reward is offered for her capture"
402
01:01:37,318 --> 01:01:39,486
What... what's this for?
403
01:01:40,238 --> 01:01:42,614
Isn't it clear?
404
01:01:42,699 --> 01:01:45,617
Her father was a high official in the court
405
01:01:45,702 --> 01:01:48,036
He offended Grand Eunuch Wei
406
01:01:48,121 --> 01:01:50,330
So his entire family is condemned to death
407
01:01:50,415 --> 01:01:53,709
It seems his daughter
escaped with her nanny
408
01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:54,584
But the girl...
409
01:01:54,669 --> 01:01:56,712
What? Have you seen her?
410
01:01:57,422 --> 01:02:00,340
No, I haven't
411
01:02:00,425 --> 01:02:04,720
But if she's the daughter
of an honest official...
412
01:02:06,389 --> 01:02:07,973
Never mind that
413
01:02:08,057 --> 01:02:08,807
Just copy the notice
414
01:02:09,392 --> 01:02:10,350
Yes, sir
415
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:13,562
Why can't they let her live?
416
01:02:14,105 --> 01:02:16,898
The county has no say in the matter
417
01:02:16,983 --> 01:02:19,735
Please start drawing, Mr. Gu
418
01:02:19,819 --> 01:02:22,821
Sir!
419
01:02:22,905 --> 01:02:25,490
A Captain of the Eastern Group
is on his way here
420
01:02:26,951 --> 01:02:28,785
We'd better receive him
421
01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:29,536
Unlock the gate and let him in
422
01:02:30,037 --> 01:02:30,579
Yes, sir
423
01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:33,665
The Magistrate?
424
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:34,666
I'll tell him myself
425
01:03:02,236 --> 01:03:03,361
They're arriving
426
01:03:17,001 --> 01:03:19,836
- We're honoured by your visit
- Thank you
427
01:03:25,301 --> 01:03:26,468
Magistrate...
428
01:03:27,595 --> 01:03:30,972
Your county is surprisingly lively
429
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:37,479
- Please forgive us
- Not possible
430
01:03:40,149 --> 01:03:42,317
Your county is sheltering criminals
wanted by the Imperial Court
431
01:03:42,401 --> 01:03:46,571
- The penalties are grave
- We are at fault
432
01:03:52,203 --> 01:03:53,954
What do you plan to do about it?
433
01:03:59,085 --> 01:04:02,838
Sir, I've received orders from the Ministry ofJustice
to arrest Yang Huizhen
434
01:04:02,922 --> 01:04:05,173
A wanted poster has been issued
435
01:04:05,258 --> 01:04:08,844
Copies will be posted tomorrow
on the main thoroughfares
436
01:04:08,928 --> 01:04:11,137
I will dispatch more constables
to find and arrest her
437
01:04:11,347 --> 01:04:11,972
You fool!
438
01:04:14,767 --> 01:04:17,394
You think your men can catch her?
439
01:04:18,521 --> 01:04:22,399
We can raise the reward for catching her
440
01:04:22,483 --> 01:04:23,984
Out of the question!
441
01:04:24,694 --> 01:04:27,404
She'll be alerted and will get away!
442
01:04:29,532 --> 01:04:32,033
But the Ministry...
443
01:04:32,451 --> 01:04:34,119
I'm in charge now
444
01:04:35,746 --> 01:04:38,999
Listen, the Commander will be here soon
445
01:04:39,083 --> 01:04:40,542
You'd better tread carefully
446
01:04:41,210 --> 01:04:43,795
Please advise me
447
01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:46,089
Destroy the posters
448
01:04:46,173 --> 01:04:48,675
Have your most able men on standby
449
01:05:03,316 --> 01:05:05,483
Mr. Gu, stop copying! You'd better go
450
01:05:06,068 --> 01:05:07,235
Yes, sir
451
01:05:16,162 --> 01:05:19,247
- Mother! We must leave!
- What happened to your face?
452
01:05:19,332 --> 01:05:20,498
Quick!
453
01:05:24,545 --> 01:05:25,670
Come on, hurry!
454
01:05:30,593 --> 01:05:31,676
Quick!
455
01:05:42,229 --> 01:05:44,522
- Should I hide in the temple?
- Yes
456
01:05:44,607 --> 01:05:46,691
- Be careful!
- I will
457
01:05:46,776 --> 01:05:48,818
- Watch out for thieves
- Hurry!
458
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,028
Take care!
459
01:06:08,422 --> 01:06:21,518
Miss Yang!
460
01:06:25,564 --> 01:06:26,564
Shengzhai!
461
01:06:38,077 --> 01:06:38,702
Mr. Shi!
462
01:06:39,370 --> 01:06:41,746
Who are you looking for?
463
01:06:44,041 --> 01:06:47,669
Have you seen Miss Yang?
464
01:06:47,753 --> 01:06:48,795
No, I'm blind
465
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:50,880
I'm sorry
466
01:06:54,719 --> 01:06:58,513
She and the old lady have left already
467
01:07:03,310 --> 01:07:03,977
Mr. Shi!
468
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:06,146
She asked me to tell you
to run for your life
469
01:07:06,772 --> 01:07:09,315
- Where did she go?
- I don't know
470
01:07:10,067 --> 01:07:11,985
I must find her
471
01:07:23,706 --> 01:07:28,251
Mr. Shi!
472
01:07:32,548 --> 01:07:35,091
Who are you really?
473
01:07:36,260 --> 01:07:38,136
Well, I'm not blind
474
01:07:38,220 --> 01:07:40,555
- Those people...
- Quiet!
475
01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:52,817
Don't move
476
01:08:16,884 --> 01:08:17,717
Run!
477
01:09:12,189 --> 01:09:13,314
General Shi
478
01:09:14,733 --> 01:09:15,650
Show yourself!
479
01:09:16,110 --> 01:09:17,443
He knows you!
480
01:09:40,843 --> 01:09:41,593
Mr. Gu
481
01:09:42,595 --> 01:09:44,762
Stay away from these people
482
01:09:46,056 --> 01:09:47,849
They're fugitives
483
01:09:52,730 --> 01:09:53,271
Run!
484
01:09:55,649 --> 01:09:56,399
Hurry!
485
01:12:39,563 --> 01:12:40,688
I'm all right
486
01:13:16,767 --> 01:13:19,727
- Why are you back here?
- Unfinished business
487
01:13:19,812 --> 01:13:23,689
You're wanted! The agents from
the Eastern Group are chasing you!
488
01:13:23,774 --> 01:13:25,441
What's your plan?
489
01:13:25,526 --> 01:13:27,402
I'll be ready for them
490
01:13:31,448 --> 01:13:34,200
You'll take on all of them?
491
01:13:35,744 --> 01:13:37,078
You should go, Mr. Gu
492
01:13:40,082 --> 01:13:42,667
I can't just leave
493
01:13:45,796 --> 01:13:46,587
Why not?
494
01:13:47,423 --> 01:13:49,715
We're almost like a married couple
495
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:51,300
We should help each other
496
01:13:53,679 --> 01:13:57,515
That's all over,
don't mention it again
497
01:14:06,942 --> 01:14:10,862
Then just think of me as
a friend who wants to help
498
01:14:12,823 --> 01:14:14,949
This is a life-or-death fight
499
01:14:15,033 --> 01:14:18,077
How do you think you could help?
500
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:23,791
It will take strategic planning to
win a fight like this
501
01:14:31,592 --> 01:14:34,010
And you have a strategy?
502
01:14:34,386 --> 01:14:37,930
We're outnumbered,
we need a strategy to win
503
01:14:43,896 --> 01:14:48,316
If you'll just trust me, I'm sure I can help
504
01:14:56,909 --> 01:14:59,327
I'm in great danger now
505
01:15:00,204 --> 01:15:03,414
I have no choice but to trust you
506
01:15:03,624 --> 01:15:04,373
Good!
507
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,587
- Then you...
- ...but I don't want to get you involved
508
01:15:09,671 --> 01:15:10,922
Don't worry about me
509
01:15:11,006 --> 01:15:13,799
Just tell me what's behind all this
510
01:15:15,385 --> 01:15:18,137
"Know thyself and victory is thine"
511
01:16:41,221 --> 01:16:42,054
Lu Ding'an...
512
01:16:50,314 --> 01:16:52,398
Pay those scoundrels no heed
513
01:17:03,660 --> 01:17:07,413
Two days ago I wrote to the Emperor
514
01:17:07,497 --> 01:17:11,500
I sent the report of your investigation
515
01:17:12,085 --> 01:17:15,171
It lists the 24 crimes of Eunuch Wei
516
01:17:16,089 --> 01:17:19,175
And the illegal activities
of the Eastern Group
517
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,260
Here are some copies
518
01:17:21,345 --> 01:17:26,140
Take them to our friends in Donglin Academy
519
01:17:27,392 --> 01:17:30,061
Your report might not
reach the Emperor
520
01:17:30,687 --> 01:17:31,854
Then I shall seek an audience
with His Majesty
521
01:17:31,938 --> 01:17:32,730
That might work
522
01:17:40,697 --> 01:17:42,782
But if the report falls into
Eunuch Wei's hands...
523
01:17:42,866 --> 01:17:43,908
...he will be merciless
524
01:17:44,618 --> 01:17:48,162
I won't let that stop me
525
01:17:50,707 --> 01:17:51,749
Sir...
526
01:17:51,833 --> 01:17:54,585
An imperial envoy is here
with men from the Eastern Group
527
01:17:58,799 --> 01:18:00,424
Prepare to receive him
528
01:18:00,550 --> 01:18:01,175
Yes, sir
529
01:18:32,207 --> 01:18:34,625
- Your Excellency
- A decree from His Majesty
530
01:18:34,710 --> 01:18:35,710
Yes, sir
531
01:18:35,794 --> 01:18:37,044
Shall we proceed?
532
01:18:37,129 --> 01:18:38,379
Certainly
533
01:18:40,674 --> 01:18:43,217
All kneel to receive
His Majesty's decree
534
01:18:46,304 --> 01:18:47,012
Long live the Emperor
535
01:18:49,141 --> 01:18:54,103
"Yang Lian, you are hereby summoned..."
536
01:18:54,187 --> 01:18:59,483
"...to an immediate audience
with His Majesty"
537
01:18:59,568 --> 01:19:01,235
"By the Emperor's command"
538
01:19:05,198 --> 01:19:06,699
Long live the Emperor!
539
01:19:59,294 --> 01:20:00,461
Yang Lian
540
01:20:01,463 --> 01:20:06,509
Is it correct that you
mentioned my name...
541
01:20:06,593 --> 01:20:09,970
...in your report to the Emperor?
542
01:20:10,055 --> 01:20:11,263
Yes
543
01:20:11,348 --> 01:20:14,266
You've made false accusations
against Eunuch Wei
544
01:20:14,351 --> 01:20:17,311
I reported only facts!
545
01:20:20,941 --> 01:20:22,775
Very forthright!
546
01:20:24,152 --> 01:20:28,656
But you have embezzled two million taels
from military funds...
547
01:20:29,491 --> 01:20:31,325
What do you say to that?
548
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,203
It's outrageous
549
01:20:34,287 --> 01:20:36,956
If you accuse me of such crimes...
550
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,917
...no-one will believe a word of it
551
01:20:41,628 --> 01:20:43,087
So you won't confess?
552
01:20:43,713 --> 01:20:46,674
You forged an Imperial Edict
to get me here
553
01:20:46,758 --> 01:20:48,384
I'll inform His Majesty
554
01:20:54,808 --> 01:20:55,766
Apply torture
555
01:21:20,834 --> 01:21:23,460
My father suffered at their hands
556
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:26,505
They tortured him to death
557
01:21:27,299 --> 01:21:29,967
Generals Shi and Lu...
558
01:21:30,802 --> 01:21:33,137
...helped me to escape from the capital
559
01:21:38,310 --> 01:21:40,436
That's Mr. Shi and Dr. Lu
560
01:21:46,109 --> 01:21:49,778
But Eunuch Wei was relentless
561
01:21:50,989 --> 01:21:54,658
He had Eastern Group agents
scour the land to find us
562
01:21:56,578 --> 01:22:01,832
The generals took me to the
very border of the country
563
01:24:47,582 --> 01:25:25,285
Go!
564
01:25:37,632 --> 01:25:38,340
That way
565
01:26:20,633 --> 01:26:21,592
Hide
566
01:26:32,854 --> 01:26:33,353
Go!
567
01:27:26,908 --> 01:27:29,159
Do not be alarmed
568
01:27:29,244 --> 01:27:31,370
They will not dare trouble you here
569
01:28:12,620 --> 01:28:14,496
Did you see three people passing this way?
570
01:28:15,456 --> 01:28:18,083
Before he died, he told his disciples...
571
01:28:18,167 --> 01:28:19,126
I'm talking to you!
572
01:29:34,786 --> 01:29:36,244
What happened here?
573
01:29:39,165 --> 01:29:43,085
A while ago your men
stooped to violence
574
01:29:43,169 --> 01:29:45,754
Fortunately we intervened...
575
01:29:47,423 --> 01:29:49,925
...and saved those people from grievous harm
576
01:29:50,635 --> 01:29:51,635
Sir...
577
01:29:59,102 --> 01:30:00,310
You're a monk
578
01:30:00,395 --> 01:30:02,646
You should practice meditation in your temple
579
01:30:02,730 --> 01:30:04,773
Not meddle in worldly affairs
580
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,750
There is no reason to shed blood
in a Buddhist land
581
01:31:49,045 --> 01:31:52,088
Master, they will surely go on
to make more trouble
582
01:31:53,382 --> 01:31:55,091
You have travelled far
583
01:31:55,176 --> 01:31:57,969
Please take some rest in our monastery
584
01:32:22,787 --> 01:32:23,745
Please...
585
01:32:28,209 --> 01:32:29,918
This way
586
01:32:54,068 --> 01:32:56,903
We stayed in the monastery for two years
587
01:32:57,822 --> 01:33:01,658
Abbot Huiyuan taught me
how to defend myself
588
01:33:08,541 --> 01:33:10,709
The world may be vast...
589
01:33:10,793 --> 01:33:13,712
...but there is no safe place for us
590
01:33:13,796 --> 01:33:17,382
Maybe Abbot Huiyuan could help again...
591
01:33:17,466 --> 01:33:18,633
He will not
592
01:33:18,718 --> 01:33:20,385
What about Magistrate Xu Zhengqing?
593
01:33:20,469 --> 01:33:21,845
A just man like him will surely help
594
01:33:25,975 --> 01:33:29,519
They say Eastern Group commander
Men Da is coming
595
01:33:30,229 --> 01:33:32,063
It's a purported military exercise
596
01:33:32,148 --> 01:33:34,232
But in fact he and his deputy Nie Qiu
are after you
597
01:33:34,942 --> 01:33:36,693
What will you do?
598
01:33:37,987 --> 01:33:42,824
I want to ambush them en route
599
01:33:44,619 --> 01:33:45,785
No
600
01:33:45,870 --> 01:33:47,412
We must find a way to sap their strength
601
01:33:49,749 --> 01:33:50,707
How?
602
01:33:51,751 --> 01:33:53,710
Here's a map of Fort Jinglu
603
01:33:55,796 --> 01:33:57,505
You know the lie of this land
604
01:34:01,552 --> 01:34:05,722
We should set a trap for them right here
605
01:34:08,934 --> 01:34:13,855
I've been a student of military strategy
since I was a child
606
01:34:14,815 --> 01:34:17,651
If they can be lured here...
607
01:34:17,735 --> 01:34:20,820
...I can find a way to crush them!
608
01:34:36,879 --> 01:34:37,962
Lu Qiong! What's the matter?
609
01:34:41,258 --> 01:34:44,719
Miss Yang, Ouyang left for
Green Bamboo Hill this morning
610
01:34:46,931 --> 01:34:50,475
Could he be retreating?
611
01:34:51,977 --> 01:34:52,894
No
612
01:34:54,146 --> 01:34:55,939
I think Men Da's men are arriving
613
01:35:01,696 --> 01:35:04,781
We can't let Ouyang Nian make contact
614
01:35:52,580 --> 01:35:53,371
Wait!
615
01:35:53,664 --> 01:35:55,623
They're Men Da's bodyguards
616
01:35:55,708 --> 01:35:56,708
They're very highly skilled
617
01:35:56,792 --> 01:35:59,502
Take them one at a time
618
01:36:14,643 --> 01:36:15,310
Go!
619
01:40:59,219 --> 01:41:01,179
Captain!
620
01:41:01,263 --> 01:41:02,221
Leave me alone
621
01:41:08,812 --> 01:41:10,980
"Office of the Magistrate"
622
01:41:22,117 --> 01:41:23,076
Captain!
623
01:41:26,038 --> 01:41:27,080
Magistrate...
624
01:41:27,164 --> 01:41:28,164
Sir!
625
01:41:29,374 --> 01:41:30,958
Bring a brush and ink
626
01:41:31,752 --> 01:41:33,169
Write a letter for me
627
01:41:33,295 --> 01:41:34,378
Yes, Captain
628
01:41:37,925 --> 01:41:39,133
Write...
629
01:41:39,218 --> 01:41:40,218
Yes?
630
01:41:41,762 --> 01:41:45,681
"To Commander Men Da
of the Eastern Group"
631
01:41:46,892 --> 01:41:50,520
"Survivors from Donglin Academy lie in wait here"
632
01:41:51,730 --> 01:41:53,523
"Halt your advance"
633
01:41:54,483 --> 01:41:58,486
"Ouyang Nian"
634
01:42:14,962 --> 01:42:16,587
Dispatch it immediately
635
01:42:18,132 --> 01:42:19,799
He has already left the capital
636
01:42:21,051 --> 01:42:21,843
Hurry!
637
01:42:24,429 --> 01:42:27,849
If there's any delay,
I'll have your head
638
01:42:27,933 --> 01:42:28,891
Yes, sir
639
01:42:39,945 --> 01:42:40,987
Who was that?
640
01:42:42,573 --> 01:42:43,406
Nobody
641
01:42:44,992 --> 01:42:46,367
Keep everyone out
642
01:42:46,451 --> 01:42:49,871
Yes, sir, I've told the guards outside
643
01:42:52,124 --> 01:42:54,083
Captain, your wounds...
644
01:42:55,919 --> 01:42:57,670
I've taken medicine
645
01:42:57,754 --> 01:42:59,589
Now I must lie still
646
01:43:01,258 --> 01:43:03,384
I must have quiet
647
01:43:03,468 --> 01:43:04,468
Yes, Captain
648
01:43:29,369 --> 01:43:31,162
- General Lu
- Magistrate Xu
649
01:43:31,246 --> 01:43:32,914
He's badly wounded
650
01:43:48,513 --> 01:43:49,222
Who is it?
651
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:54,352
Captain, your wounds are grave
652
01:43:54,436 --> 01:43:56,062
I've brought a doctor
653
01:43:58,190 --> 01:43:59,899
I told you...
654
01:44:01,485 --> 01:44:02,902
...to let no-one in!
655
01:44:09,368 --> 01:44:10,493
It's you!
656
01:44:11,328 --> 01:44:12,495
Captain Ouyang
657
01:44:19,044 --> 01:44:20,169
Lu Ding'an...
658
01:44:21,797 --> 01:44:23,089
You timed this well
659
01:44:23,715 --> 01:44:26,384
I'm here to treat your wounds
660
01:45:24,776 --> 01:45:25,943
We must lure Men Da here
661
01:45:31,199 --> 01:45:32,533
Write to him!
662
01:45:55,557 --> 01:45:57,266
A letter for His Excellency
663
01:45:58,810 --> 01:45:59,352
Wait
664
01:45:59,436 --> 01:46:00,311
Yes, sir
665
01:46:10,030 --> 01:46:10,821
What is it?
666
01:46:10,906 --> 01:46:13,324
Sir, a message from Ouyang Nian
667
01:46:14,368 --> 01:46:15,493
What does he say?
668
01:46:20,749 --> 01:46:25,002
"Everything is ready for your arrival"
669
01:46:27,672 --> 01:46:29,382
He says they are fully prepared
670
01:46:30,300 --> 01:46:31,717
Then let's advance
671
01:46:32,552 --> 01:46:33,677
Forward!
672
01:48:21,995 --> 01:48:24,288
Men Da will set up base at Fort Jinglu
673
01:48:24,372 --> 01:48:25,289
When?
674
01:48:25,373 --> 01:48:27,458
After he finds Ouyang Nian
675
01:48:28,210 --> 01:48:29,877
How many men are with him?
676
01:48:29,961 --> 01:48:31,295
Around two hundred
677
01:48:32,297 --> 01:48:33,714
We're outnumbered
678
01:48:35,550 --> 01:48:37,134
We start by sapping their morale
679
01:48:40,722 --> 01:48:41,972
I don't understand
680
01:48:42,807 --> 01:48:47,269
Spread the rumour that
Fort Jinglu is haunted
681
01:48:48,688 --> 01:48:50,481
Surely that's too...
682
01:48:52,234 --> 01:48:53,359
No, do it
683
01:48:54,194 --> 01:48:57,821
I think my mother could help with this...
684
01:49:03,662 --> 01:49:05,371
I've seen a ghost!
685
01:49:05,455 --> 01:49:07,039
One night...
686
01:49:07,123 --> 01:49:10,292
...I saw someone standing on the fort
687
01:49:10,377 --> 01:49:14,421
He was this small at first sight
688
01:49:14,506 --> 01:49:16,131
But when I looked again...
689
01:49:16,216 --> 01:49:17,633
...he grew bigger and bigger
690
01:49:17,717 --> 01:49:19,802
I tried to look more carefully.
What a shock!
691
01:49:43,034 --> 01:49:43,867
Sir!
692
01:49:50,834 --> 01:49:52,167
My respects, your Excellency
693
01:49:52,502 --> 01:49:53,877
Have you found Ouyang Nian?
694
01:49:54,379 --> 01:49:55,379
No
695
01:49:55,964 --> 01:49:58,424
Have you been to the fort?
696
01:49:59,801 --> 01:50:00,551
Well?
697
01:50:01,303 --> 01:50:02,511
Your Excellency...
698
01:50:02,596 --> 01:50:08,767
We hear the place is in ruins,
ravaged by wars
699
01:50:12,522 --> 01:50:13,522
Well then, clean it up
700
01:50:16,901 --> 01:50:18,152
Sir...
701
01:50:18,862 --> 01:50:21,238
It's said that... the place is dirty
702
01:50:22,866 --> 01:50:23,657
Meaning what?
703
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:26,410
It's rumoured that...
704
01:50:28,538 --> 01:50:29,913
...there are ghosts
705
01:50:31,124 --> 01:50:32,291
That's ridiculous
706
01:50:33,627 --> 01:50:35,252
Don't listen to such talk
707
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:36,670
Move in there tomorrow
708
01:50:40,884 --> 01:50:41,884
Yes, sir
709
01:51:43,863 --> 01:51:44,738
Station a few men outside
710
01:51:44,823 --> 01:51:45,447
Yes, sir
711
01:51:45,532 --> 01:51:46,532
You four, stand guard
712
01:51:46,616 --> 01:51:47,282
Yes, sir
713
01:51:48,702 --> 01:51:49,660
Go in
714
01:52:24,821 --> 01:52:25,779
Chief...
715
01:52:52,432 --> 01:52:54,141
You! Stop!
716
01:53:07,363 --> 01:53:08,697
Stop! Stop!
717
01:53:10,700 --> 01:53:11,450
What's going on?
718
01:53:11,534 --> 01:53:12,201
Look!
719
01:53:17,624 --> 01:53:18,415
Come on
720
01:53:57,580 --> 01:53:58,580
Ready?
721
01:54:08,883 --> 01:54:10,050
What do you want?
722
01:54:33,366 --> 01:54:39,663
Ghosts!
723
01:54:41,749 --> 01:54:42,833
Sir!
724
01:54:42,917 --> 01:54:44,334
There are ghosts outside!
725
01:55:00,810 --> 01:55:02,227
Did this really happen?
726
01:55:02,312 --> 01:55:05,439
Yes, I saw them myself
727
01:55:07,150 --> 01:55:10,861
I've heard many tales about
ghosts and demons
728
01:55:12,113 --> 01:55:13,655
But I've never seen one
729
01:55:14,490 --> 01:55:16,116
I'd like to see for myself
730
01:55:20,038 --> 01:55:23,290
Sir, you have the burden of command here
731
01:55:23,833 --> 01:55:26,126
I don't think you should take the risk
732
01:55:27,211 --> 01:55:28,879
Ghosts won't bother us
733
01:55:31,799 --> 01:55:34,384
It's said they fear violent men!
734
01:55:35,094 --> 01:55:36,011
But...
735
01:55:40,350 --> 01:55:42,142
Don't fall for this nonsense
736
01:55:42,226 --> 01:55:46,396
The stupid locals spread these
rumours to make trouble
737
01:55:46,481 --> 01:55:50,150
But our men believe the stories
738
01:55:55,865 --> 01:55:59,910
Maybe this is all a plot
739
01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:04,706
What do you think, Magistrate?
740
01:56:08,044 --> 01:56:10,212
Yes, Your Excellency is surely right
741
01:56:22,850 --> 01:56:24,351
He doesn't believe it?
742
01:56:31,025 --> 01:56:34,319
It seems he's starting to
suspect the magistrate
743
01:56:38,491 --> 01:56:40,534
No need for all this trouble
744
01:56:40,618 --> 01:56:43,620
Let's just kill them in the
magistrate's office tonight
745
01:56:43,705 --> 01:56:45,247
That would ruin our plan
746
01:56:45,331 --> 01:56:49,042
We should lure them here tomorrow night
747
01:56:54,382 --> 01:56:57,968
Then let's send Men Da a gift tomorrow
748
01:57:12,650 --> 01:57:13,775
It's Ouyang Nian
749
01:57:20,575 --> 01:57:21,533
Magistrate...
750
01:57:21,617 --> 01:57:22,200
Sir!
751
01:57:23,661 --> 01:57:26,705
Where was Ouyang Nian's body found?
752
01:57:26,789 --> 01:57:28,665
Near Fort Jinglu
753
01:57:37,842 --> 01:57:40,135
Captain Ouyang died in your area
754
01:57:40,219 --> 01:57:41,887
Evidently he was murdered
755
01:57:41,971 --> 01:57:43,096
What do you have to say?
756
01:57:44,599 --> 01:57:45,849
I am to blame
757
01:57:53,483 --> 01:57:54,649
Excellent!
758
01:57:55,193 --> 01:57:56,485
Guards!
759
01:57:56,569 --> 01:57:59,488
Take him away and confine him
760
01:58:00,865 --> 01:58:01,740
Your Excellencies...
761
01:58:02,533 --> 01:58:04,868
I have something to report!
762
01:58:10,750 --> 01:58:11,792
Speak
763
01:58:13,127 --> 01:58:16,129
It's confidential, could you...
764
01:58:30,478 --> 01:58:31,436
Now, speak
765
01:58:38,528 --> 01:58:39,736
Yang Huizhen!
766
01:58:43,825 --> 01:58:45,200
Isn't she Yang Lian's daughter?
767
01:58:45,868 --> 01:58:47,035
Yes
768
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:49,371
She has two renegade generals with her
769
01:58:50,289 --> 01:58:51,289
Splendid
770
01:58:52,166 --> 01:58:53,959
All three of them are here
771
01:58:56,045 --> 01:58:56,586
Who else?
772
01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:01,383
I heard they are gathering bandits
773
01:59:01,467 --> 01:59:05,262
They plan to storm into town
to kidnap you
774
01:59:08,391 --> 01:59:09,766
We'd better strike first
775
01:59:09,851 --> 01:59:11,726
Sir, if you permit me to
command the troops...
776
01:59:11,811 --> 01:59:13,728
...I can finish them all off tonight
777
02:00:11,287 --> 02:00:13,955
We're ready, Sir
778
02:02:07,528 --> 02:02:08,737
Help!
779
02:02:12,450 --> 02:02:13,658
Don't move
780
02:02:18,581 --> 02:02:19,748
What is it?
781
02:02:19,832 --> 02:02:21,708
Sir, it's... true!
782
02:02:21,792 --> 02:02:22,625
An ambush?
783
02:02:22,710 --> 02:02:23,460
Ghosts!
784
02:02:25,629 --> 02:02:26,588
Two dead!
785
02:02:30,259 --> 02:02:32,719
Sir, the rumours are true
786
02:02:32,803 --> 02:02:35,013
Ridiculous! Be alert for an ambush
787
02:02:48,402 --> 02:02:48,985
What is it?
788
02:02:49,070 --> 02:02:50,153
Look, sir...
789
02:02:57,161 --> 02:02:58,370
Sir, maybe we should...
790
02:02:58,454 --> 02:03:00,080
Try to calm them down!
791
02:03:02,917 --> 02:03:04,125
Hold your positions!
792
02:03:42,915 --> 02:03:44,290
Sir...
793
02:03:44,375 --> 02:03:46,126
Please tell the commander...
794
02:03:46,210 --> 02:03:48,420
Men can't fight ghosts
795
02:03:49,171 --> 02:03:52,048
We should return in daylight
796
02:03:52,133 --> 02:03:53,758
We're soldiers, we've done terrible things
797
02:03:53,843 --> 02:03:57,929
Our deeds have spawned ghosts!
798
02:04:03,269 --> 02:04:04,561
Sir, I think...
799
02:04:05,813 --> 02:04:07,814
You're usually a sharp fellow!
800
02:04:07,898 --> 02:04:10,567
Can't you see this is a plot to trick us?
801
02:04:10,651 --> 02:04:11,651
Yes, sir
802
02:04:11,735 --> 02:04:15,196
To make us fear we've
offended the gods
803
02:04:16,073 --> 02:04:17,490
You've attained high rank
804
02:04:17,575 --> 02:04:20,034
How can you believe such nonsense?
805
02:04:20,119 --> 02:04:24,164
Sir, I've just talked with other officers...
806
02:04:24,248 --> 02:04:25,331
What? Mutiny?
807
02:04:31,881 --> 02:04:33,173
Don't panic! Protect His Excellency!
808
02:05:17,635 --> 02:05:18,468
Don't let her get away!
809
02:06:17,861 --> 02:06:18,861
It's Shi Wenqiao
810
02:08:35,082 --> 02:08:36,791
Sir, they must be inside
811
02:09:01,400 --> 02:09:02,150
Someone's there
812
02:10:20,979 --> 02:10:21,979
Sir...
813
02:10:23,065 --> 02:10:24,398
I'll keep watch here
814
02:10:24,942 --> 02:10:26,734
You two go in and search
815
02:11:52,863 --> 02:11:55,698
Miss Yang, please spare me!
816
02:11:55,991 --> 02:11:59,201
"A woman's empathy is her weakness"
817
02:14:29,686 --> 02:14:32,396
"Funerary Tablet of Yang Lian"
818
02:18:46,359 --> 02:18:47,359
Miss Yang!
819
02:18:55,994 --> 02:18:57,161
It's you!
820
02:19:12,344 --> 02:19:33,447
Miss Yang!
821
02:20:23,373 --> 02:20:24,873
Master, have you seen Miss Yang?
822
02:20:28,169 --> 02:20:30,003
Where is she?
823
02:20:34,551 --> 02:20:36,718
Have you seen Miss Yang?
824
02:21:19,471 --> 02:21:20,429
Mother!
825
02:21:24,350 --> 02:21:25,851
Have you seen Miss Yang?
826
02:21:26,978 --> 02:21:28,103
Yes, I saw her
827
02:21:28,813 --> 02:21:29,938
Where is she?
828
02:21:35,904 --> 02:21:37,196
She asks you not to look for her
829
02:21:42,577 --> 02:21:44,161
I must find her
830
02:24:30,995 --> 02:24:34,623
"I have entered the monastery.
The Gu family has its heir"
831
02:27:02,688 --> 02:27:05,524
Yang Huizhen, this matter remains unresolved
832
02:27:05,650 --> 02:27:08,777
If I attain enlightenment, you will follow me
833
02:27:09,487 --> 02:27:11,780
Gu Shengzhai is in danger
834
02:27:11,864 --> 02:27:13,949
Go with General Shi
835
02:29:04,727 --> 02:29:07,020
"Wanted: Gu Shengzhai"
836
02:30:18,009 --> 02:30:18,883
That's him!
837
02:30:21,095 --> 02:30:22,262
Catch him!
838
02:30:55,046 --> 02:30:55,962
Run!
839
02:32:02,321 --> 02:32:03,363
Retreat!
840
02:33:20,441 --> 02:33:22,108
That's their commander-in-chief, Xu
841
02:35:20,227 --> 02:35:21,352
General Shi
842
02:35:22,021 --> 02:35:22,937
Miss Yang
843
02:35:26,525 --> 02:35:29,068
I'm the new commander of the Eastern Group, Xu
844
02:35:29,153 --> 02:35:31,738
My respects to General Shi
845
02:35:32,281 --> 02:35:32,989
I am honoured
846
02:35:33,699 --> 02:35:35,742
His Excellency Eunuch Wei orders me...
847
02:35:35,826 --> 02:35:37,994
...to invite you to the capital for consultations
848
02:35:40,748 --> 02:35:43,875
Please inform Eunuch Wei that
Miss Yang and I...
849
02:35:43,959 --> 02:35:46,044
...have retired from service to the Court
850
02:35:46,128 --> 02:35:48,129
We will not return to the capital
851
02:35:49,173 --> 02:35:52,717
Then I should say that
you're to be put on trial
852
02:35:54,219 --> 02:35:56,429
All the more reason not to obey
853
02:35:57,014 --> 02:36:00,183
Then there is nothing I can do for you
854
02:36:01,852 --> 02:36:04,562
I suggest you reconsider
855
02:37:18,595 --> 02:37:19,887
You take the fat one
856
02:37:21,807 --> 02:37:22,348
Go!
857
02:39:08,330 --> 02:39:09,288
Stay back!
858
02:42:29,614 --> 02:42:31,157
Commander Xu
859
02:42:32,242 --> 02:42:34,535
You are Abbot Huiyuan?
860
02:42:35,287 --> 02:42:36,370
I am
861
02:42:39,458 --> 02:42:41,417
You are celebrated in monastic circles
862
02:42:42,127 --> 02:42:46,255
Why are you harbouring criminals?
863
02:42:46,339 --> 02:42:48,340
Isn't your reputation at risk?
864
02:42:50,469 --> 02:42:53,763
I've not turned my back
on the secular world
865
02:42:53,847 --> 02:42:56,724
General Shi once held high rank
866
02:42:56,808 --> 02:42:58,934
Miss Yang is from a noble family
867
02:42:59,478 --> 02:43:04,315
Evil men attacked them,
so they fled in despair
868
02:43:04,399 --> 02:43:06,233
They wished to live in peace and seclusion
869
02:43:06,318 --> 02:43:10,780
But they have been hounded
by agents of the Eastern Group
870
02:43:11,531 --> 02:43:13,699
The agents do their duty
871
02:43:14,743 --> 02:43:19,330
You know how unjustly the
Donglin Academy is persecuted
872
02:43:20,624 --> 02:43:23,834
For Buddha's sake,
show compassion and mercy
873
02:43:25,712 --> 02:43:27,880
A man cannot compromise
874
02:43:27,964 --> 02:43:30,925
And the Emperor's edicts must be obeyed
875
02:43:33,053 --> 02:43:37,515
Tell Eunuch Wei that they've entered the monastery
876
02:43:37,599 --> 02:43:41,519
On my advice, they've renounced worldly affairs
877
02:43:42,354 --> 02:43:46,524
It's beyond reason to hear a monk
challenging the law!
878
02:43:47,275 --> 02:43:48,901
Commander Xu...
879
02:43:48,985 --> 02:43:52,071
You were once a petty clerk
in the eunuchs' bureau
880
02:43:52,155 --> 02:43:54,782
How dare you disturb our peace?
881
02:43:55,909 --> 02:43:56,534
Now go
882
02:43:58,411 --> 02:44:00,996
I will arrest you for sheltering criminals!
883
02:44:02,874 --> 02:44:04,875
Get this evil creature out of my sight
884
02:45:42,849 --> 02:45:43,933
Lay down your weapons
885
02:46:24,182 --> 02:46:24,556
Stay back!
886
02:48:18,630 --> 02:48:19,588
Depart
887
02:48:45,990 --> 02:48:46,782
Stay back!
888
02:48:56,251 --> 02:48:56,959
Master!
889
02:48:57,043 --> 02:48:58,627
His evil is not yet expunged
890
02:48:59,254 --> 02:49:00,087
General Shi!
891
02:51:33,866 --> 02:51:34,866
Master
892
02:51:38,997 --> 02:51:41,498
Master, please take me in
893
02:51:44,168 --> 02:51:46,545
You are not free of worldly bonds.
Go back
894
02:51:52,010 --> 02:51:55,512
Master, I've killed many people
895
02:51:57,098 --> 02:52:00,225
Phantoms haunt my dreams at night
896
02:52:02,186 --> 02:52:04,104
Sometimes I have visions
897
02:52:05,398 --> 02:52:07,941
Sometimes I feel gnawing pains
898
02:52:10,695 --> 02:52:13,405
I wake in a cold sweat
899
02:52:14,407 --> 02:52:16,658
I have no wish...
900
02:52:18,119 --> 02:52:21,913
...other than to end my days
in the monastery
901
02:52:22,790 --> 02:52:26,585
Good! If you repent, you'll be saved
902
02:52:27,420 --> 02:52:29,254
Penitence is the answer
903
02:52:31,924 --> 02:52:36,511
Master, take me in
or I shall kneel here forever
904
02:52:39,599 --> 02:52:42,225
The sea of suffering is boundless,
come ashore
905
02:52:42,310 --> 02:52:43,352
Arise
906
02:56:17,817 --> 02:56:18,567
Brother!
907
02:56:21,862 --> 02:56:22,445
Father!
908
02:59:27,798 --> 02:59:31,760
THE END
