Are you leaving?
Yes
I suppose your work here is done?
You healed quickly
The doctor said
you nearly cut a major artery
That would have killed me
You were lucky
May be you're lucky?
I know a shortcut
Let me lead the way
Otherwise, you won't make it to Feng County by nightfall
That would be a shame
Few people know about this path
I came across it by accident
Will you close the case after you leave here?
Yes
I will
You don't believe me?
We part ways here
Keep going straight
After an hour ...
you'll reach the main road
Keep walking ...
and you'll find Feng County
What are you waiting for?
Goodbye, then
That road did lead to Feng County
Why didn't he kill me?
Xu Baijiu
You've worked for me for ten years and still so naive?
Captain, it's different this time
I could lend you the men under my command
but they're just a bunch of cowards and bums
Hire some outlaws
but using criminals to stop a criminal ...
is playing with fire
Xu Baijiu
Just let it go
Tang Long is not a wanted criminal
why do you want a warrant?
The 72 Demons are notorious outlaws
And Tang Long is their second in command
Where's the proof?
Even if you bribe the judge for a warrant
you're risking your life
I'll report the judge!
Nonsense!
How much do you want?
20 taels of silver
What?
Where will I find that?
I only receive 4 taels a year!
Business hours are over
Come back to me
when you have the money
I never expected to need help from this person:
My wife
I'll pay you back
Is business good?
I'll burn incense for your father
Don't bother
I'm afraid father wouldn't like it
Before he's passed away ...
he made it clear
What about you?
You still blame me?
Does it matter?
Father was wrong to sell fake medicine
But the medicine ...
didn't cost any lives
He got on his knees
and begged for your mercy
you wouldn't let go
What did it feel like?
It wasn't up to me
It's the law
He was only guilty of selling fake medicine
he didn't need to kill himself
I know
you said it before
You'll never forgive me
you still don't understand
Not forgiving ...
you'd have to still care
Is the law really more important than humanity?
Captain
what has the world come to?
Whatever the world has become
you have no choice but to be part of it
Tsu Kun, where're you taking me?
where's my reward?
Whatever you have to say, tell Master yourself
Are you saying
Tang Long is in the village that you mentioned?
Yes
And ...
he has two sons?
Yes
One is his
One is from his wife's previous marriage
Are you telling me this ...
because you think I want information about Tang Long?
Tsu Kun, what's going on?
Answer me
You didn't go to the 36 Constellations
You didn't go to the Black Dragon Gang
Instead, you came here
Because you know ...
we have a connection with Tang Long
True?
No
Master... it's not ...
It's not what you think
Tsu Kun, help me
Tell him
who Tang Long is
Tang Long ...
is the son of our Master
You came here with the information
so that I would kill my own son
You ...
How dare you!
Tell me
Should I kill Tang Long?
Well?
Should I kill him?
None of you can match him
None of you can match Tang Long!
Master wants to ...
bring Tang Long back!
Oma-miba-mihon ...
Did you ever work the land?
I did
What are they reciting?
They're praying for souls
to be released from purgatory
You see
when you till the earth
you can't avoid harming the small creatures in it
Jinxi performed a brave deed by killing two criminals
we make a record of Jinxi's great deed
Jinxi is a man of integrity
His bravery and kindness
are a blessing to us
and an example for our youth
We will remember
and be inspired ...
Go down on your knees
Kneel!
I am Liu Jinxi
Liu Jinxi?
I am Liu Jinxi
Tell the truth!
Father!
Who are you?
This is a family matter
so shut up!
Shut up!
Be quiet!
You deny you're Tang Long
My house is on fire
Help!
I'm not going back
You know that ''he'' wants you back
He won't give up
You are Tang Long
You still are
I'll get you some water
The chief told us to shelter in the fortress
That's why I'm packing
I've already packed your belongings
Good
What do you mean?
I can't go with you
So we're not going either
We should ...
we should leave
and start a new life somewhere else
it's useless ...
How can you say that?
Have some water
Don't say that
It's too late, do you understand
Thanks for letting me be Liu Jinxi
But I'm not Liu Jinxi
Jinxi
That day by the pond
if the woman you met hadn't been me
Would you have stayed?
Sir, spare my children
Kill me if you must! They're innocent
Sir, I beg you
Sir ...
Please don't ...
Sir ...
I'm sorry
What happened?
It must be the 72 Demons
It doesn't look good
Even if we capture Tang Long,
the Demons might still ambush us
Nothing will stop them
we should just let them kill each other
and return later
What for, if he's dead?
He'll receive a death sentence anyway
Xu Baijiu, what do you really want?
I must bring him to justice
You promised never to return?
Is this Tang Long?
Tang Long of the 72 Demons
They will come back
Let's wait nearby
let them kill each other
No, we should all stay
Stay if you want to
We're leaving
We'll return for the corpses
The other day in the forest ...
why didn't you kill me?
You promised never to return
And you believed me?
I did
Ayu told me something
She said:
Xu Baijiu is a good man
He just doesn't know it
There is no such thing
Good men don't exist
The human body is amazing, it can trick you
I want to use your body to trick them
Tang Long
You must die
There are three stages of death:
the brink, the degeneration and the final death
in the first stage, we appear dead
Most people will be fooled
I want you to enter this first stage
you'll be in a coma
Most people can't tell the difference
He's dead?
But to trick the 72 demons
you need to enter
the more dangerous second stage
When the demons arrive
I'll press the Vagus Nerve in your neck
to induce the degeneration stage
your breathing and pulse will stop
you 'll show no signs of life
you'll lose all sensation
You can stay in this condition up to 1 5 minutes
if I fail to revive you in time
you will truly be dead!
We're taking Tang Long's body to the court
Step aside!
You drove Tang Long to his death!
Duo-a...
nuo-zi-die
The dead will not return
come back
The soul will return...
Which one of you is Tang Long's son?
Tell me, which one of you is Tang Long's son?
His name is Xiaotian
He's four years old
Tang Long used this hand to kill
I'm returning this murderous arm to the clan
I 'm done with the 72 Demons
You choose a woman and a child
over your own home?
Our brother Tang Long ...
is dead
Our brother Tang Long is dead!
You still need to tell the Master
He's waiting for you at home
Very nice ...
Sing again, grandfather loves it
Altogether, the thumb, index and middle finger
sing an opera for the little sister
Grandfather loves to hear children sing
middle finger, sing an opera for the little sister
Very nice ...
You should sing for grandfather every day
Father
What happened?
I'm no longer with the 72 Demons
Everyone has arrived
Everyone is here
Let's eat
When your father was little
he looked just like me
especially when he was angry
My splitting image
Even if he got lost
people would send him back to me
Don't you agree?
Why do you nod?
Look at him now
He doesn't look like me anymore
But my grandson does
much more than he ever did
The beans are good
Xiaotian
Have some beanie
Beanie beanie, yummy yummy
Eat beanie or be skinny
I didn't tell you to sing
Beanie beanie, yummy yummy
Eat beanie or be skinny
I didn't tell you to sing
Beanie beanie, yummy yummy
Eat beanie or be skinny
I didn't tell you to sing
I beg you, please
Please stop, I beg you ...
Stop
Children must do as they're told
When your father was little
he hated it when I was away
Once he stripped the leaves...
... from the tree in front of the house
I asked him what happened
He said:
I once promised him
when all the leaves had fallen
I would return
That's why he stripped all the leaves off
Then he said:
the leaves were long gone
but why were you still not back?
In the end, I burned the tree down
I hated it ...
for disappointing my son
Bastard!
After that
Everytime I go out
my son made me take him with me
He said:
Now the tree is gone
how will you come home?
I've cut off my arm for you
We're not related anymore
I will let you go
I'm a fair man
When one leaves ...
another takes his place
Your blood is mine
His blood is mine too
Your blood ...
It is not the blood of a Tangut anymore!
Your blood is vile!
The world has abandoned us Tanguts
How could you forget?
How could you raise a family like you're one of them?
You are a traitor
There's a needle in his heel ...
We need another one!
You were given to me by God
But He let you betray me
Don't blame me
For killing you!
This investigation is now closed
October 1 91 7, 1 8th fortnight
Xiaotian
More rice or more soup?
Soup
Eat slowly
