The Li Mansion provides food and accommodation.

Why not stay a few more days?

Those so-called ghost-expelling masters are useless.

If we want to get to the bottom

of this headless ghost mystery,

we'll need

to have some big moves.

I can't do the kind of hairstyle

used to exorcise the ghosts.

You can do it?

When we used to play gods,

he was the one doing our hairstyle.

Old man, what are you staring at?

Under the bright moonlight,

the family stays together.

This must be what it feels like.

Old man,

don't worry.

We'll make sure to get you home.

During the post-postmortem examination last time, I made your hairpin dirty.

Here I return a new one for you.

Zhao Zhiting even traded

his most precious jade pendant to buy this for you.

When we experienced severe starvation back then,

he never bear to sell it.

Since it's for exorcising ghosts,

I'll hold onto it for now on your behalf.

Look,

over there.

She's coming.

In my previous life,

I was the water vase in Guanyin's hand.

I descended into this world to undergo trials

and vowed to complete 81 good deeds.

Now, I only have to transcend one last wronged soul

to return to the heavens.

The evil spirits in the mansion are hard to deal with.

So, we have invited the Vase Fairy.

It seems like

we've uncovered something.

I've already located the wandering ghost.

You harmed him.

He doesn't want your gold.

He wants you to return his head.

Father!

Fairy, Fairy!

I beg you

to save our Li family.

The ghosts are haunting this mansion rampantly,

making me couldn't sleep the whole night.

I'm afraid that I couldn't live any longer.

As long as you tell me the truth,

I can help you take him away.

How dare you!

You fabricate lies randomly

slandering my Li family.

Fairy!

Fairy, your powers are boundless.

I beg you to stay in our mansion

and eliminate that evil ghost.

I beg you.

I beg you!

Fairy, Fairy!

Please save me!

The Li Mansion is so huge!

But they only gave us four steamed buns per meal.

How is that enough?

There must be more food somewhere.

How dare you steal the offerings!

Why is it so cold all of a sudden?

Where's my head?

Head!

The head fell off!

Huang Santai,

give me back my head!

Give me back my head!

Give me back my head!

Huang Santai!

- He has no head. - It's okay now.

- Don't be scared. - No head.

What happened?

Baron Li...

Baron Li...

Baron Li's head is gone!

Baron Li's head is gone!

He's dead.

He's dead.

His head is gone!

His head...

- Wang Ling! - Wang Ling.

Where have you been?

The head fell off!

Head...

What head?

The head is gone.

Are you alright?

Head...

That's too cruel.

What happened?

It's terrifying.

Hold on!

I've reported this to the authorities.

None of you is allowed to come near,

nor leaving here.

This is strange.

Magistrate Zhang is here.

Can't I have some peace?

I had just gone out to patrol

when someone reported a murder.

His head fell off!

I...

I saw his head fell off

and his body ran away.

He yelled that Huang Santai took his head.

I don't know.

I just...

I just wanted to eat something.

Calm down.

- I really don't know. - Listen to me.

I do remember

that there have been rumors that Baron Li's mansion was haunted.

Is that true?

Yes.

They say the headless ghost

is Huang Santai.

Are you the one who cut off Baron Li's head?

I... I just ate a little something.

I just wanted to fill my stomach. And his head...

Wang Ling, what else do you know?

- Calm down and think carefully. - I don't know.

- What was going on? - I really don't know.

Take the suspect away immediately.

This place has a negative aura. Talking further is pointless.

Magistrate Zhang, why don't you observe some more?

Don't be too hasty about this.

What's there to observe?

What about you taking over as the magistrate?

I dare not.

- Come! - What are you doing? He didn't kill anyone.

I just wanted to eat something.

- He didn't kill anyone. - I've never hurt anyone!

Wang Ling!

Was it you

who harmed Baron Li?

It wasn't me!

You must save me!

Please live well.

I will save you again.
