Dark and gold embellish the red.

Feathers cover it all.

The forest in the mountains

has become real.

Look.

There are birds.

That’s amazing.

Over there.

They're flying away.

They're flying away.

Awesome!

That’s brilliant.

Master.

You are so good.

Could you draw a young lady and make her real.

Yes.

Show us.

Show us...

Come on, show us.

Really.

Image is born from the inside.

What you have in mind

will become real.

Indeed.

She’s a beauty.

Painting is real but the person is not.

A touch of red, she is in the bath.

Light gauze reveals in the mist,

a smile.

Bewitching.

A lady in the water.

Now is the time.

So pretty.

She looks exactly the same as in the painting.

It’s true.

I cannot believe what I’m seeing.

I think she looks even prettier than in the painting.

Lady.

You got the wrong person.

I don’t have anything valuable.

I don’t want anything.

What I want is you.

Different beings

shall not take the same boat.

Let us

go on our separate way.

The sky is dark and the ground is yellow.

The five elements line up.

Yin and Yang meet

and rise with the flow of water.

Brilliant.

These are rules set by our ancestors.

We shall not hurt people or do evil.

We shall not take fortune that does not belong to us.

Your skills are good

but you failed to follow

the ancestors' rules.

Master.

Are you all right?

Who is that person.

Him?

He's old Jiang who owns the coffin store at Wanliqiao.

No matter what skill or art,

there is always someone out there

who is better than you.

[The Oriental Illusionist]

People who live in the martial world

has to remember our roots.

Everything we do is for a living.

Living means money.

Afterall,

it's a money-making business.

This time, you and I

came to Sanjiu City

on the Double Ninth Festival

to make some big money

in order to prepare

a dowry for you.

As for me?

It'll be my coffin money.

All brands of cigarettes available.

Sorry, sorry.

What are you doing with my jade pendant.

Just taking a look.

A young man like you

could've learned whatever you wanted.

But you chose to steal

and become a thief.

It’s a misunderstanding.

Excuse me.

I'm leaving.

Sorry about that.

Grandpa.

What is a "thief"?

Uncle.

Uncle.

What is it?

I failed.

There was someone good.

You have not seen a real expert.

There are even more in Sanjiu City.

Uncle, should we just go back?

Let's not try our luck in that city, yeah?

Look at you.

Everyone in the martial world

earns with their own skills.

Those who don’t have skills will only suffer.

Why did your grandpa ask me to take you along?

But I’m afraid that we will only suffer

and get in trouble.

You...

It is written in the book.

The martial world is like a pool of water.

There is no fish when the water is clear.

When there are ripples, there are fishes.

Read more books if you're so free.

[Folk Tales]

[Outer Pavilion]

Inside, please.

Waiter.

Coming.

The kid was not watching her way.

She was careless.

My apologies.

Old man.

You are good.

It’s just a small trick.

Nothing extraordinary.

The Zen listening skill you just showed

isn't something ordinary people can learn.

The person just now.

Is he haggard

and hunched over?

Grandpa, how did you know?

That man

is not a good person.

The two of us

should stay away from him.

♫ Take a peek inside ♫

♫ There is a building ♫

♫ The song goes ♫

♫ King Zhou of Shang in Chaoge City ♫

♫ King Zhou of Shang messed up the regime ♫

Stop bragging with words.

I dare you to fight me.

Nice...

Grandpa.

Let’s go take a photo.

I’m a blind man.

I can only touch but not see.

-Why bother? -Just one photo.

Girl, do you want to take a photo?

Okay, come this way.

Okay.

Careful.

Look at the camera.

Look here.

Here, good.

Three.

Two.

One.

The next is,

"Blooming Wealth and Honor."

Good.

Bravo.

Thank you all.

Thank you.

Grandpa.

Why don’t we perform something too?

It’s not good

to show off.

What’s bad about it?

We shouldn't.

Dear folks.

Today, my grandpa and I will show you

the unique trick of the Yang Family.

Good.

The one over there is my grandpa.

Come on.

All right. Good.

Thanks to the support from all of you,

this blind, old man

will show you

some small tricks.

Amazing.

It’s snow.

It’s snowing, it’s snowing.

It’s really snowing.

It’s snowing!

He must be an old god.

Awesome.

What a good show of snowing at this time of the year.

Those are small tricks.

Master San,

please.

Hail, it’s hail.

Take cover!

There is a master in the audience.

Grandpa, what’s going on?

Build a road when there's no way. Build a bridge when there's a lake.

Those who ride horses are not afraid of those who rob.

The dust like a horse running for thousands of miles.

A road with a ladder reaching for the top.

It is cold when one reaches the clouds.

No way to escape when the earth cleaves and the sky clefts.

White bones buried under white soil.

Under the mountain lays the river.

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

[House of Jin Gu]

Master San.

Your status in the city

is unchallenged.

Your jade business is "Gen",

which stands for mountain.

"Shi" stands for soil.

Business in the water is "Kan".

Business on the ground is "Wood".

Wood makes fire, which is "Li".

Master San.

You

are missing one of the five elements.

In Sanjiu City,

who doesn’t know that I built my business with gold and jade.

The last thing I need is gold.

It means gold elsewhere,

but for you, it’s not valuable.

What Master San wants

should be in...

This here

is the finest gold.

Do you know what is inside?

The opium trade

had long been banned in the country.

If Master San has the intention,

I can help you

to gain this wealth.

Such bad luck.

Let’s go home.

Young girl.

I open the door for business.

You put a dead man

at my door.

This is truly

inappropriate.

The dead can’t be revived.

Get a good coffin

and bury him.

It’s the best you can do.

I just want to know how my grandpa died.

If you really want to know

and figure it out,

I do know

a master who can examine the dead.

There is sorrow passing by.

Following the Yama to settle the case.

No nonsense or money involved.

Only to add an incense

to worship the god.

In our business,

we never ask the reasons.

We only take the payment.

One lamp

to trace back.

Two lamps

to know right and wrong.

Three lamps to ask the road to the other side

when to return home

into the ground.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, wake up.

Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?

Wake up, grandpa.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, wake up.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Sir, what did you find out?

Your grandpa died because of Yin Illusion.

The technique comes from an illusionist named Huang Bei Shan.

This story started about 17 years ago.

[The Illusionists]

[are divided into two factions, Yin and Yang.]

[Yang performs for people.]

[Yin is taboo.]

[They study evil sorcery.]

[The ancestor had two apprentices,]

[the elder student, Jiang Bei Hai, and the second, Huang Bei Shan.]

[Jiang Bei Hai is an honest man.]

[Loyal and motivated.]

[The second apprentice, Huang Bei Shan,]

[is extremely smart]

[but not righteous.]

[Even though he was very talented,]

[he couldn't make a name for himself.]

[The martial world has its own sets of rules.]

[Similarly, the illusionists also have their own rules.]

[One of them]

[is not to use illusion for evil things or harm people.]

[But Huang Bei Shan violated the rules several times.]

[He even learned the illusion of Yin.]

[In the end,]

[it was discovered by his master.]

[But Huang Bei Shan was not remorseful.]

[He killed his master]

[for a rare book of Illusion.

[To avenge his master's death, Jiang Bei Hai]

[pursued Huang Bei Shan to Shanhaiguan.]

[Sanjiu City Station]

[Sanjiu City Station]

[Sanjiu City Station]

[Since then,]

[Huang Bei Shan has never appeared again in Sanjiu City.]

[That’s how the saying,]

["The Yin Illusion will never crosses Shanhaiguan" came about.]

You mean

Huang Bei Shan killed my grandpa?

I’m just speculating.

If I had known it was this serious,

I wouldn't have accepted your request.

Where is Huang Bei Shan now?

The Huang Bei Shan we are talking about

is a well-known master of illusion.

Looking for him

is no different from getting yourself killed.

Take your grandpa’s body

and bury him in your hometown.

You just said

Huang Bei Shan has a senior fellow apprentice named Jiang Bei Hai.

Is he still alive?

Young girl.

You are clever.

Many years ago,

I roamed the martial world

with my tricks too.

I had a fight with him.

As for what happened,

you should be able to tell.

You could say that

I've been enlightened by him.

Where is Jiang Bei Hai now?

Let’s say it’s fate

that brought you to me.

[Ten miles outside the city.]

[A place called the Wanliqiao Coffin Store.]

I will beat you.

Here, boss.

The fortune-teller said there is a bad sign for your husband in your reading.

Only by living alone and staying away from sex life

for three years

can resolve it.

Will you be able to do that?

Those who stayed with me

all ended up on the table.

So?

Do you wish to join them?

Such bad luck

at this early hour of the day.

The poor in front of the temple, the rich behind the temple.

The widow lives on the left and right.

Jiang Bei Hai.

Jiang Bei Hai.

Jiang Bei Hai.

Where is he?

Jiang Bei Hai.

What’s going on? It’s so early.

Darn old man.

What?

Did you get drunk again last night?

What time is it? it’s still not open.

Today is the month of Wuxu, the day of Jiaxu.

It’s not suitable to do business.

Following the rules of Ancestor Peng,

neither is it suitable to meet a woman.

Why do I even care?

If you don’t want to see me,

I will never come again.

I’m leaving.

One.

Two.

Three.

I’m really leaving.

I already said it’s not my intention.

I’m just following the rules of Ancestor Peng.

You are such a knucklehead.

Live the rest of the years with the coffins.

Why do you always do this?

Women are so troublesome.

[Memorial Tablet of Master Nan Dao Zi]

[Patriarch, Lv Dong Bin]

Didn't you say you will never come again?

Are you Jiang Bei Hai?

Who are you?

Are you Jiang Bei Hai or not?

Are you here to buy a coffin?

My grandpa is dead.

I’m here to find Jiang Bei Hai.

I see.

Is your grandpa tall

or short.

Two silver pieces for a short one.

Three for a tall one.

I also have customized ones.

You will need to add more money.

But my master said,

we can’t do business today.

Please be early tomorrow.

Please go back.

I’m not here to buy a coffin.

I’m here to find Jiang Bei Hai and avenge my grandpa.

I told you.

This is a coffin store.

You are in the wrong place.

Please go back.

My grandpa was killed by Huang Bei Shan.

[Sealed by Jin Gu Corporation]

Routine inspection.

Stop here.

[Sealed by Jin Gu Corporation]

[Sealed by Jin Gu Corporation]

After tonight,

go back to where you came from.

Also, I’m telling you now.

You’d better fall asleep before midnight.

If you can’t sleep,

do not get up

when you hear something.

Don’t bother about it.

Don't look either.

Do you hear me?

One more thing.

When you wake up tomorrow morning,

leave this place immediately.

You can sleep here.

Don’t think too much.

Have a good sleep.

Go.

Go on.

All shall return

with a sound of wood.

All shall return

with the sound of the gong.

The month of Wuxu,

day of Jiaxu,

are not suitable for seeing a woman.

Who is this?

Who are you?

What has that got to do with you?

I’m asking you.

Who is she?

How should I know?

I don’t know her.

I know you.

She said she knows you.

You believe her but not me.

Nice try, Jiang Bei Hai.

You're hiding a secret mistress in front of me.

Stop talking nonsense.

It doesn’t matter if you slander me,

but don’t wrong her.

She is just a little girl.

Nonsense.

Then I'm also a girl.

Actually...

Actually, I...

just met her.

Jiang Bei Hai.

Didn’t you just say you didn’t know her?

It hurts.

It hurts.

The little girl dares to admit it,

but you don’t.

Are you a man or not?

It’s a misunderstanding.

I’m here to find Jiang Bei Hai

to avenge my grandpa.

Avenge?

Heard that?

It's to avenge someone.

So you agreed?

Agreed to what?

To avenge my grandpa.

You just said it yourself.

I...

Thank you.

You women...

Women are so...

Master San.

I’m not after this.

Everyone in the world likes money.

You don’t want money?

Then what do you want?

Don't you know that

in this world

there is something better than money?

Have you heard of the Book of Fortune?

It was born in troubled times

and it chooses its owner.

If you have this book,

you can change one’s life.

Even ordinary people

can become royal and generals.

Don't you think

it’s better than money?

Do you know the whereabouts of this book?

In Sanjiu City,

there is a person called

Jiang Bei Hai.

He has the book.

I planned to steal from a big family.

But I didn’t foresee this unexpected gain.

Uncle.

How much can we sell this book for?

Sell?

With the Book of Fortune,

we will have everything we want.

We'll never have to steal again.

Go.

No more jobs after midnight.

Please go back.

I have orders from Master Jin San.

We heard that Mr Bai is the best in the city.

So I came all this way.

What I want

is to ask about someone

from Mr Bai.

It depends if the person is alive or dead.

Three silver pieces for those who are alive.

Five for the dead.

I understand your rules.

This is...

Jiang Bei Hai.

People in this business

praised me.

I’m called Bai Xiao Sheng,

but I don’t know everything.

The person you mentioned

is someone I don’t know.

You should

find someone else.

There is an old saying.

A warrior will never sell his sword.

A scholar will never sell his books

even if he starves to death.

And I

am not a warrior nor a scholar.

I don’t have that kind of spirit.

But I do know right and wrong.

You should

find someone else.

Mr Bai.

I admire your sense of justice.

You have your rules.

[Shroud Store]

I found Bai Xiao Sheng here.

It was him who asked me to find you.

If you don’t believe me,

ask him yourself.

[Shroud Store]

Mr Bai.

Mr Bai was fine the night before yesterday.

Sanjiu City

is a place where one is apt to get into trouble.

Everyone who comes here has their own scheme.

The good ones will not come here.

[Tomb of Yang Zhan Qing]

I’m going away for a few days.

The clothes are washed

but not yet dried.

Help me dry them

and then put them away.

I am a woman.

I don’t understand your business

and I don’t want to ask.

Just do

what you have to do.

I won’t stop you.

By the way,

the girl

drank some tuckahoe.

Enough for her to sleep for a whole day.

Keep an eye on her when she wakes up.

Remember.

Don’t let her go out.

I’m leaving.

Jiang.

Come back soon.

Rest assured.

I will be back soon.

When Bai Xiao Sheng died,

the clue was lost.

Since he can’t be used by us,

the only option was to eliminate him.

As for Jiang Bei Hai,

someone is helping us look for him.

The old blind man is at Shroud Store.

He has a granddaughter.

If I guessed right,

she has already met Jiang Bei Hai.

What we need to do

is to catch the turtle in the urn.

But if you want to catch this turtle,

you will also need a bait.

The bait

has already arrived at Outer Building.

It depends on God’s will

whether the guest will come.

Uncle.

What does this mean?

Did the girl go to look for Jiang Bei Hai?

Finding Jiang Bei Hai

means getting the Book of Fortune, right?

We'll put this thing

next door.

As soon as he comes back,

we'll hear everything.

Oh, I get it.

Be quick.

Okay, okay.

Done.

You must have sharp eyes and quick hands when living in the martial world.

Got that?

Let’s go.

Why do you take everything?

Hurry up.

In the future,

be smarter.

We won't have to do this job when we get the Book of Fortune.

Don’t always get excited when you see something.

Brother.

You mentioned the Book of Fortune.

Where did you hear it from?

Does it have anything to do with you?

I'm asking you where you heard it from.

Let go.

I...

Look at you.

Get up.

Quick!

It looks like

the guest is here.

First sound is a hack.

Second sound is a rift.

Third sound is the breaking of tendon of the wrist.

Fourth sound is the tremble of the heart.

The fifth is the gate to death,

hard to open by itself.

Sixth is the ringing in the ears

as well as in the head.

Find a piece of raw meat with blood.

Do you want him to die?

Okay, okay.

Seventh is the crowing that can’t be heard.

Sleep soundly

until you're buried under the ground.

This...

What is it?

Start a challenge and you will know.

It’s the black worm of Gu.

Child and mother.

A symbiotic relationship.

The guest

is already outside.

The Gu worm is out

but he is still weak.

He'll need to rest for a few more days.

Follow this perscription.

Take six doses of amber,

three times a day

for three days.

Thanks a lot.

I didn’t know your name yet.

When my nephew is better,

I must come in person to thank you.

My last name is Jiang.

No need to come in person.

We heard about the Book of Fortune at House of Jin Gu.

We hoped to make a fortune

[House of Jin Gu]

but didn’t expect to suffer such a disaster.

[House of Jin Gu]

Sir.

Are you buying

or selling things?

I just want to ask about something.

Is the person in charge in?

Master San is out.

He went out today.

What do you need, sir?

Just let me know.

The Book of Fortune.

Have you heard of it?

Sir, the book you mentioned,

we don’t have it here

nor have we heard of it.

Perhaps

you remembered it wrong.

Maybe.

It’s been more than 20 years ago.

I’m old now.

I can’t remember clearly.

Right.

Sir.

Don’t get discouraged.

When you are looking for something,

it depends on fate.

If it doesn’t belong to you,

even after a long search,

it may still fall into the hands of others.

If it's meant for you,

sooner or later,

you will have it.

Right.

[House of Jin Gu]

I'm begging you.

Please.

Leave me alone.

Please.

Tell Master San again for me.

Just one last time.

Just one.

[House of Jin Gu]

I sold my wife and child.

I really have no money.

You have no money?

Then take your own life as soon as possible.

In the next life,

born into a good family.

[House of Jin Gu]

Please, do me a favor.

Just let me smoke for one last time.

I’m begging you.

[House of Jin Gu]

[Addict jumps to his death] [Opium reappears in Sanjiu]

It’s killing people.

A harmful thing.

[House of Jin Gu]

Quickly.

Officer.

What’s going on?

What is this about, officer?

Go.

What are you doing?

Officer.

Officer.

This is inappropriate, officer.

Officer.

Master San.

I couldn’t stop them.

Jin San.

Tell me about it.

How did you get the opium into the city?

What kind of tricks did you use to cover it up?

We have received reports at the police station

saying that

there is a master of illusion working for you.

Since the Grand Empress Dowager left Beijing,

the world has descended into chaos.

Those who copy the foreigners like you get to rule.

There is no justice.

Jin San.

I call you Master San

to show some respect.

If you don’t want to talk here,

then let’s go back to the police station.

Get ready to go.

Don’t make us force you,

lest you ruin your reputation as Master San.

No matter how the world changes,

a person

should always try not to lose face.

Let me change my clothes.

♫ I was ♫

♫ A nobody♫

♫ at Wolong Gang ♫

♫ Understanding the world ♫

♫ By relying on Yin and Yang ♫

[House of Jin Gu]

Jiang asked me to keep an eye on you before leaving.

Today I am here.

Don’t think about getting out of this door, I’m telling you.

I want to go out.

I need to find Jiang Bei Hai.

I need to avenge my grandpa!

I need to go out.

You cunning little thing.

You're weak and frail.

Do you think you can avenge anyone?

Let go of me.

Otherwise, I will let everyone at Wanliqiao know

you meet Jiang Bei Hai in the middle of the night.

There is something between the two of you.

You wretched girl.

Your hair hasn’t fully grown yet.

What do you know?

Come back here!

Let go.

Quickly.

Search the place.

Jiang Bei Hai and Jin San colluded

to smuggle opium

and killed using illusions.

The police is handling the case in accordance with the law.

They will be punished with due severity.

Everyone, search carefully.

Officer.

What's happened?

Is there a misunderstanding?

Who are you two?

Come give me a hand.

Have you seen Jiang Bei Hai?

I’m asking you.

No, never.

You mean

the one who killed people in the city with illusions

is Jiang Bei Hai?

Captain.

Captain.

We have found Jiang Bei Hai.

At Outer Building.

Head out.

Yes, sir.

Go.

What the police said.

Is it true?

It has nothing to do with you.

Stay out of it.

It has something to do with my grandpa.

You suspect I killed your grandfather?

My grandpa told me.

Living in the martial world,

one has to first watch the road.

Second is to look into people’s hearts.

It’s so complicated

that I cannot understand.

It is complicated.

It's good that you don't get it.

You don’t have to see dirty things.

The matter with illusionists,

I will solve it

using our way.

Who are you looking for?

We are looking for Master Jiang.

We heard that something happened to him.

A few days ago,

Master Jiang saved my nephew’s life.

We are in people of the martial world.

Righteousness is the most important thing.

Now he is in trouble.

We must help

no matter what it takes.

How is Jiang?

Is he all right?

What did he tell you?

Say something.

Jiang Bei Hai wants us

to stay here for a few days.

Don’t go anywhere.

We can hide.

But what about him?

We can’t leave him there, right?

Master Jiang

has been to House of Jin Gu

before getting caught.

I took a look.

The old man who was smoking in the House of Jin Gu

is not a good person.

Senior.

It has been a long time.

You finally came.

I have been waiting for a long time.

Actually, I should have recognized you

at the House of Jin Gu that day.

Although your body and appearance have changed,

your expression and manners

haven’t changed at all.

They're exactly the same as when you were young.

Back then,

you crippled my hand

as well as my meridian.

I was exiled

and lived a life no better than an animal.

Later,

I learned the secret technique

to regain my skills.

But the price I paid

was to live as an old man.

Who do you think

I should blame

for this?

Did you go through all this trouble

just to seek revenge on me?

You do know that this jail

cannot trap me.

Even if you can escape from jail,

can you get away from

being labelled a murderer?

Back then,

you killed our master

for the Book of Fortune.

I thought that by now,

you would've turned over a new leaf.

I'm surprised that

you haven’t changed at all.

Senior.

Everyone has their own fate.

The Book of Fortune

is my fate.

Master San is gone.

Hereafter,

you should follow me.

What Master San gave you,

I will double it.

I entered the imperial palace at six

and followed Master San

since I was a child.

Regardless of which dynasty or generation,

Master San

will always be Master San to me.

One day of being a slave

means you cannot get away from it for the whole life.

Did you find the murderer who killed your grandpa?

We had no grudge or grievance with you.

Why did you kill my grandpa?

If you hadn't encouraged your grandfather to go on stage that day,

he wouldn't have died.

The one who killed your grandpa

wasn't just me.

Do you miss your grandpa?

It does pain me

to keep you two separated.

She's awake.

Finally.

Come.

Do you still want to seek revenge?

Would you like me to sharpen the knife for you?

Stop it.

Did I say anything wrong?

You didn’t listen to me.

acted on your own

and it almost got you killed.

Master Jiang.

Calm down.

Actually,

this is on me too.

It was me who told the girl about the House of Jin Gu.

That’s why...

I’m sorry.

I was wrong.

If I hadn't asked my grandpa to get on the stage,

he wouldn't have died.

If I hadn’t looked for Bai Xiao Sheng,

Bai Xiaosheng wouldn't be dead.

If I hadn’t come to you,

you wouldn't have been implicated.

Actually,

even if your grandpa hadn't gone on the stage,

he would still have killed.

But

it wouldn't be your grandpa who dies,

but someone else.

It has happened.

Just let it go.

I believe

this is providence.

You don’t have to blame yourself

for his death.

This photo

was delivered to the Outer Pavilion

by the photographer.

My grandpa once said.

When people die,

they become stars in the sky

to take care of the people they miss.

I used to be afraid of the dark,

but not anymore.

Jiang Bei Hai.

Take me as your apprentice.

I want to learn from you.

Wait until tomorrow.

If I can see the sun rise,

I will accept you as an apprentice.

[The 21st generation of Illusionists,]

[Huang Bei Shan.]

[These words represent me.]

[Master used to say.]

[Even if your skills are good]

[the rule of nature is always superior.]

[It’s dangerous in the martial world,]

[but people are more dangerous.]

[It’s difficult to survive in the world.]

[We were fellow apprentices of the same master]

[and we practiced diligently]

[to secure our basic needs.]

[But]

[despite being talented and intelligent,]

[Shroud Store]

[your heart is ruthless.]

[It didn't fit our belief]

[of everyone being responsible for the world.]

[Outer Pavilion]

[You hurt the innocent for the Book of Fortune,]

[House of Jin Gu]

[choosing the wrong path.]

[I hereby write this letter to you.]

[I will wait for you with the Book of Fortune]

[at the Wanliqiao Coffin Store]

[tomorrow at dusk.]

[The illusionist,]

[Jiang Bei Hai.]

Illusion is forbidden in the city.

The ones playing with illusion are gone

while the theatre troupe is here.

The mystique is gone.

Indeed.

Go quickly.

Master.

Bei Shan

[Memorial tablet of Master Nan Dao Zi]

has come to visit you.

You were expelled 17 years ago.

Master asked my to let you live.

He told me that

back then

you were a little beggar on the street.

He pitied you

and took you in.

He taught you to become an illusionist.

He taught you the skills

and gave you something

to make a living.

Never did he think

that you were so immoral.

He chose the wrong path when you grew up.

Master used to blame himself.

He always said that

he only taught you the skills

but failed to teach you how to be a human being.

Before he died

he asked me to spare your life.

But you didn't repent

and returned to Sanjiu City to kill innocent people.

Today,

I will clean our faction on behalf of Master.

Everything concerning illusions

shall be returned

to you today.

The hour of the ecliptic,

is the hour or mourning.

The Three Pure Ones in chaos.

Everything is intangible.

The hand leads the lamp.

Granting light.

Behind closed doors.

Servants of thunder.

Senior.

Before I die,

could you let me have a look

at the Book of Fortune?

Master never lied to you.

In this world,

the Book of Fortune doesn't exist.

There is no Book of Fortune?

I've been chasing the Book of Fortune all my life.

It never existed?

Senior.

Senior!

There is no Book of Fortune.

No!

No...

Jin San.

Time to eat.

What year is it now?

The 17th year of the Republic of China.

Wrong.

It’s the 20th year of Xuantong.

These slaves

have even forgotten the years of the reign.

The 20th year of Xuantong.

The Grand Empress Dowager orders for an imperial feast.

It has to be

the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

A lunatic.

Slaves.

Did you hear me?

An imperial feast.

Prepare an imperial feast!

Take care, dear guest.

Master.

Do you think

the Book of Fortune exists in this world?

You tell me. Is there wind here?

What about now?

Where's the wind? Can you see it?

Do you get it?

Good thing you don't.

Master.

Why do you ignore Ms Yao Li Hong?

The question is

a problem between adults.

You will understand when you grow up.

In fact,

women...

To me,

they are...

very troublesome.

Particularly pretty women.

[Outer Pavilion]

Come chase me.

Come here.

Don’t run.

Slow down.

[House of Longevity]

Come.

Hurry up.

[Book of Fortune]
