[Wu Xin The Monster Killer]
Episode 2
What's wrong?
Let me take a look.
Where did you get that?
I don't know.
Get in. I'll clean it up for you.
Clean it all up.
Yes, I understand.
Dharma Master, that thing...
Did you get rid of it?
It ran away back into the well.
Do you know that if I continued to fight with her then
I'm afraid that you'd be dead by now?
Wasn't it so? Listen up.
If I held my breath for a little while longer, I'd have suffocated.
You didn't have a clue how vicious that evil spirit was.
If I continued to fight with her, even I would have lost my life.
You're very powerful!
You will be just fine!
But if anything should happen to you, rest assured that
your sister is in good hands!
Once this matter is resolved, I'll be sure to reward you heavily!
I'll pay whatever price you name!
A hundred yuan?
That's nothing.
A thousand yuan?
That's nothing!
What does that mean? Could you mean ten thousand yuan?
Are you trying to put the bite on me?
Do you think that the wind blows me money?
I can build you a temple with that money! You should be content!
Commander Gu, since we can't agree on the price
why don't you hire someone else?
No, Master! Wait a minute!
Stop bullshitting me!
Are you really going to abandon me? That's not very righteous! Listen!
What should I do if the monster comes out at night?
It's great that it's out.
You can explain to her that I was the one who injured her
not you, Commander Gu.
If she seeks you out for revenge, tell her to come to me.
Listen up! You don't think that I'll have your sister killed?
You don't think that I'll summon that monster and have you killed?
What an unreliable monk!
Commander Gu! Put some clothes on! Don't catch a cold!
Reconsider that price!
Please come in.
This is the place.
This is the guest room that Commander Gu instructed us to prepare for you.
- Please have an early night in. - Thank you.
This...
Your clothes look quite nice.
Commander Gu gave them to me.
Did you get the splinters out from your hand?
I did! It's all right now.
Who knew that a monk would be so fierce in attacking a monster?
Of course, that's a monster.
Only one of us gets to survive
so I had to be vicious.
But I'm not like that when it comes to people.
I think you aren't that compassionate to Commander Gu.
Are we really going to spend the night here together?
Are you uneasy about this?
That's fine. I'll get some blankets and sleep outside.
You don't have to sleep outside.
Why?
Commander Gu was told that we're siblings.
If he sees you sleeping outside, won't our lie be exposed?
It's all right. He can't do anything to me anyway.
It's still not all right.
It's cold outside.
Why don't you sleep on this side and I'll take that side?
We'll put a bowl of water in between us.
- Master... - Why do you call me Master?
Do you have to make me sound so old?
Address me as a brother.
Brother.
I'll take your clothes off for you?
Don't be so anxious. I'll do it myself.
Master...
Get lost!
Master!
Dharma Master!
Open the door!
Wu Xin!
Open the door, Wu Xin!
Dharma Master, open the door!
Save me!
- There's a ghost in my room! - Gu Xuan Wu!
Why did you go crazy in the middle of the night?
Am I that ugly?
You're not ugly. You're especially pretty.
Dharma Master, save me! I touched a monster!
Gu Xuan Wu, you...
Did you get it wrong? She's not a monster!
You got it wrong! Get rid of her right away!
Gu Xuan Wu! You're such a heartless jerk!
You can say it directly if you don't like me!
- Dharma Master! - Why did you call me a ghost?
Get rid of her right away!
Ten thousand yuan it is! Just get rid of her!
- I'll give you ten thousand yuan! - Ten thousand.
Gu Xuan Wu! You're a bastard!
Let go of me! I can walk on my own!
Gu Xuan Wu, you're a jerk!
You're a heartless womanizer!
Bastard!
Are you all right, Commander?
Get your hands off me!
Am I that timid?
No...
That Commander Gu...
Go to bed.
- Are you asleep? - Not yet.
Those two talismans that you gave me really did work.
Didn't you say you don't know how to draw them?
I really don't know how to draw a talisman.
But it wasn't those few strokes that worked.
It was my blood.
Blood?
Your blood can fend off evil spirits?
More or less, I suppose.
Who are you exactly?
Who am I?
Anyway, I'm not a monk.
I only dress up as a monk to make a living.
Think about this. If I were to exorcise and kill monsters
don't I look more persuasive as a monk?
- But... - What about you?
Who are you?
Me?
I'm just a girl from the countryside.
Countryside?
Countryside.
It's not far from Wen County.
You said that you didn't want to go home. Why?
No one cares about me.
Why would I stay there?
Did everyone in your family pass away?
No.
My father is still alive.
My mother passed away five years ago.
My father married another woman.
She gave him a son, so he obeyed her every word.
My stepmother wanted to sell me off to an old landlord as his mistress.
He's already 62 years old.
He's all wrinkled, spotty, and has a mouth full of stained teeth.
Why would a fine young woman like me marry him?
I escaped from my home at night because of that.
I'd rather starve to death than spend my life with a man
who has one foot in the grave.
I see.
You've had a hard time as well.
That's nothing.
It's already very fortunate that I got to escape from it.
Moreover, I have a place to settle in now
and I get to chat with you.
What's there to complain about my life?
I'm so sleepy. You should sleep now as well.
Or it will soon be dawn.
All right, go to sleep.
So you're Yue Ya's mother?
Are you worried about your daughter?
It's also been hard on you all these years.
But you have to leave.
Everyone has their own fate.
Why would you be so persistent?
All right. You can stay if you aren't willing to listen to me.
Stay... until you can no longer stay on.
Here, let's dig in first. We won't wait for him.
Commander Gu, we started without you.
Dharma Master.
Are we going to capture that monster tonight?
Dharma Master, listen to me.
- I... - As for capturing the monster
I have to know my enemy in order to defeat it.
- No, I... - Commander Gu.
Get someone to bring me the records of Wen County.
I have to do some research.
[Yue Qi Luo]
Here, eat this quickly.
Where did you get this from?
I nicked them from the kitchen.
Finish it quickly so that no one will know.
How is the investigation?
I already figured out what that evil spirit is.
- Really? - I'm pretty sure.
That evil spirit has to do with a woman named Yue Qi Luo.
Yue Qi Luo?
That's quite a lovely name.
Did she become a ghost?
No, not a ghost.
That's...
What exactly is she?
I don't know either.
So who on earth is Yue Qi Luo?
Look.
Yue Qi Luo was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
She was born into a family of officials but fell in love with
Duan San Liang, who was poor.
Due to her family's objections
they couldn't be together.
They decided to kill themselves for love.
But after Duan San Liang died
Yue Qi Luo became scared.
She ran home instead.
Days later, both Yue Qi Luo and her servant disappeared.
It was rumored that Duan's family sought revenge and killed both
Yue Qi Luo and her servant to bury them with Duan San Liang.
When she disappeared, she was only 16 years old.
What is it?
I think that this Yue Qi Luo is no decent lady either.
Why?
Apart from fooling around with a man at such a young age
why didn't she hold Duan San Liang back when she was scared to kill herself?
She just watched him die?
What's more, he already died
and she still went home without a care?
She is so heartless.
You're right. She is heartless.
In a few days, I'll arrest that heartless girl.
Dharma Master!
Last night, my old servant who guards the manor died.
How did he die?
How else could he die?
Is it that monster?
Exactly!
Master, help me figure out a plan.
This is such a sin.
We should have eliminated that monster sooner.
- Commander. - What happened?
The old servant was sitting outside.
But then he never came back last night.
Who found him?
A water boy in the alley.
He didn't see him this morning, so he went inside with his bucket.
He was terrified when he walked in.
I will seek revenge for you.
It's good to have life and death.
Those who should leave, leave now.
Dharma Master...
That evil spirit must have been wounded from our previous fight.
That's why it had to kill to nourish itself.
We won't wait till nightfall. I'm going to capture it right now.
Right now?
Do you need me to come with you?
No one comes with me this time.
I'll go alone.
You're going alone?
Do you need me to prepare anything for you?
Get me a bundle of rope.
Yes. Hurry up!
- Get Dharma Master some rope! Hurry! - Yes!
Monster! I spared you the previous night so you can correct your ways.
I didn't expect you to be so obstinate and get even more violent.
Don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!
Who do you think you are?
What are you?
Who am I, Yue Qi Luo? I'm your Duan San Liang.
Duan San Liang?
We promised to live and die together.
Why did I kill myself
while you continued to live?
Where is he?
- Dharma Master is... - I'm talking to you! Where is he?
He's capturing that monster in the manor now.
Capturing the monster?
Why did you run home alone?
He didn't ask me for my help, so I came home.
You didn't help him just because he said that he didn't need it?
Do I just stick around?
Even if he didn't ask you to help him
you should at least stay there. What if something goes wrong?
- Go back there with me. - What are you doing, Yue Ya?
I don't have any powers, so why would you want me to go there?
- Don't you have a gun? - What good is a gun?
Come with me right away!
It's not that I won't go but... Listen to me!
You didn't see how that old man died.
He was smashed and all that was left was his head.
I didn't see it, but even if I did I wouldn't have left. Come with--
No, I won't go there! I said I won't!
I won't go there no matter what you say!
- Are you going or not? - No!
You address him as Dharma Master and I as Priestess, right?
Yes.
I'm his sister, right?
That's right.
Since he has supernatural powers, why wouldn't I?
We have different powers.
But at least I could be of some use.
Listen up.
If you refuse to go back there, I'll get the deity to possess me.
By then, even if that monster doesn't kill you
I'll get the deity to do it first!
Don't, Yue Ya! Yue Ya...
I'll go, all right?
Put away your powers first?
Let's hurry!
You don't have a heart.
Why do you think that I'm called Wu Xin [without heart]?
Commander.
Where's the monster?
It's here.
No... isn't that just hair?
What is that?
It's the monster.
Its original form was a puppet.
- A puppet? - A puppet?
But that is real hair.
Wasn't it quite big when we saw it the other day?
Why is it so small?
That was the form it took on.
When I dragged it out of the well, it showed itself.
It really was just a puppet?
Exactly. This...
How does a puppet become a monster?
It didn't become a monster.
Someone put a spell on it.
It became a vessel for energy.
Energy? A vessel?
What is that?
Who put a spell on it?
I don't know either.
But this spell was cast on it for about a hundred years.
It's useless to know more about it.
It's fine as long as we know that it can't hurt anyone anymore.
That's true.
Commander Gu, the evil spirit is now eliminated.
- Will you go back on your word? - I won't!
Commander Gu will never go back on his word. Don't worry.
That's good.
Commander Gu, please have your men bring me some wood and fire.
Sure, no problem!
Go on! Bring me some firewood and fire!
- Hurry up! - Yes.
- Get some wood and fire. - Wait for me outside the garden.
It might stink when I burn this.
All right, I'll wait outside.
It's fine. This will be done soon.
Don't be scared. I'm not Duan San Liang.
Please don't hurt her.
Whoever you are, please don't hurt her.
She's very pitiful. She already atoned for her sins.
Who is she? You're not Yue Qi Luo?
Yue Qi Luo is my young mistress.
She is the one you speak of.
Who turned you into this?
Young Mistress likes Duan San Liang.
I secretly arranged for them to meet.
My master found out about it and wanted to beat me to death.
My young mistress couldn't bear for that to happen
and I didn't want to die either.
So my soul nested in my hair and my hair was pinned to the puppet.
The puppet became my physical form.
Who cast this spell for you?
I only wanted to stay with my young mistress. I never wanted to kill anyone.
But I have to safeguard her until she can leave.
If I didn't kill anyone, my soul would have dispersed very quickly.
All right. You can't linger in this world any longer.
Stop holding onto other matters.
Let it all go when your soul disintegrates.
How's that?
Dharma Master!
I really am such a nice person.
I get to carry all of your sins.
Yet when you die, I remain alive.
Although you sinned greatly and took many innocent lives
I will still chant the mantra of rebirth-in-Pureland for you.
Here, dig in! Have more food!
Yue Ya, eat more!
Dharma Master, let's have a drink.
Here.
Commander Gu, are you really going to move back to that manor?
I definitely want to move back!
Isn't that manor quite nice?
Moreover, haven't you already gotten rid of whatever monster there is?
But I still think that manor is impure.
What does that mean?
More than a hundred years ago, people were killed in that manor.
Isn't that the thing you got rid of?
That was just an accessory. It's not the principle monster.
The real master didn't die a good death.
Nor is the body properly buried.
How about this, Commander Gu? You can finish your meal first
and I'll explain the rest to you.
Because this story is a bit heavy.
I'm afraid that you can't take it.
I'm already nauseated. Why would I keep eating?
I'll finish my meal first.
Keep it.
That's my token of gratitude.
Commander Gu, this little gold fish isn't worth ten thousand yuan.
Does the wind just blow me money?
That is one real bar of gold.
It's worth whatever I say it's worth.
Commander Gu, you're going back on your word?
How is that going back on my word?
No... What are you doing?
I'm going to jinx you to death!
Don't!
I was just joking. It was just a joke.
All my money is kept in the hands of my mistresses.
It's all in her little house.
Why don't I go over there later to get it for you?
I'll get you nine of these little gold fishes, all right?
- Nine... - Commander Gu was joking?
You're so funny.
Funny... How funny.
I didn't even spend ten thousand yuan on that manor.
I spent so much money on exorcising some evil spirit?
How can I not be funny?
Yue Ya, keep this gold bar.
I...
So that was what this matter is roughly about.
So is that thing called Yue Qi Luo?
I'm not sure.
I thought that it was
but then I later found out that it really isn't Yue Qi Luo.
- Who is it then? - It's obvious!
It's Yue Qi Luo's maid.
That can't be right.
Hasn't that maid turned into a puppet?
Although I don't know who cast that spell on her
I understood that the maid and mistress were very close.
Even when her maid was going to be killed
she couldn't bear to leave her mistress.
She wanted to stay by her side.
No, this...
This maid...
Was she taken away by the Duan family?
It was written in the county records that they went missing.
But according to my judgment, the Duan family definitely did that.
The Duans assumed that Yue Qi Luo killed their son
so they wanted to seek revenge.
They nailed her into a coffin while she was still alive.
The territory of Wen County wasn't as large as it is now.
The coffin was buried under wastelands.
No one would ever discover it.
The maid witnessed it and wanted to save her mistress.
So she jumped into the well next to it and waited for the right time.
She then waited for a hundred some years.
After that happened, the Duans disappeared as well.
The Yue family kicked up a huge fuss, but gave up when they couldn't find her.
Wen County slowly prospered.
That place where the body was buried slowly became more developed.
There were houses and streets around it.
It also became the busiest place in Wen County.
No... Dharma Master, that wasteland...
Is that my manor?
Commander Gu is so smart. You're right.
That wasteland is where your manor is.
That puppet maid was very obstinate.
When I wanted to take her away
she even tried to knock down the well to try and save her mistress.
Just having her alone was enough to stir up chaos in my manor.
Why does she have a partner? Wouldn't two of them create a massive mess?
Exactly.
I remember it now.
No wonder that shameless bastard sold me his manor so easily.
He sold me those three brick houses in that manor for one gold bar!
I thought that he was taken aback by my grandeur.
Who knew that he had fooled me!
If I get my hands on that jerk, I'll use a machine gun on him!
I'll surely shoot him to death!
Moreover, what the heck! For the past twenty to thirty years
I've never been bullied like this!
What have I got to do with some 100-year-old tragedy?
Just you wait and see!
I'll take a whole troop of men tomorrow to dig up the pipes and tunnels.
Be it a coffin or a well, I'll have them all... Where are you going?
We're tired.
We're going to get some rest.
Dharma Master, I'm a righteous man.
If you're not going anywhere, feel free to keep staying at mine.
- You can stay as long as you wish. - Sure, thank you.
My nine little gold fishes...
Nine little gold fishes...
These are all real?
Of course.
I've never seen this much gold in my entire life.
By the way...
Keep this safe.
- Here, keep it safe. - What are you doing?
I told you that I won't just be treating you to a feast.
I'll make you a lot of money as well.
This is your money. Don't give it to me. Keep it safe now.
I want you to have it.
I don't want it.
Yue Ya, do you think that it's fate that we met and even
captured monsters together?
It is.
You also said that you have nowhere to go, right?
How about this? Before you find a place to go
could you stay with me as a companion?
So you should keep this for me.
I...
Give this some thought. I make a living by repelling monsters.
If I go around capturing monsters with ten gold bars
and lost them, those monsters would have made a fortune, right?
But...
Just treat this as helping me out.
This... I can't afford to compensate you if I lose them.
Who asked that of you?
I'll just make more if you lose them.
That sounds so arrogant.
Are we... going to keep staying here?
What are your plans?
You have all my money.
You call the shots.
I'll boil some water. You should have a bath.
If she was just avenging her son
why would she go to all this trouble to set up such a huge magic circle?
Please don't hurt her.
Whoever you are, please don't hurt her.
She's very pitiful. She already atoned for her sins.
Yue Qi Luo, who are you?
Yue Ya, I think I'm in trouble.
I don't know what will happen.
Let's get away from here.
