[Wu Xin The Monster Killer]
Episode 4
You recognized me?
You recognized me as well, didn't you?
Of course.
I've lived in the well for so long.
You're the first one I saw when I opened my eyes.
You're so good-looking as well.
It's difficult to forget you even if I wanted to.
You're flattering me.
I haven't flattered a lot of people for all these years that I've lived.
You're one.
My maid was one as well.
Your maid?
Yes.
My maid died trying to save me.
But I didn't want her to die.
I used her hair and a puppet to give her a new body
so that she could keep me company.
You really did think too highly of her.
But do you know that her soul was vanquished trying to save you?
So?
I let her live for a hundred years already.
Isn't that enough?
Why don't you come with me as well?
I'll be nice to you.
What are you?
You have no breath or heartbeat.
Don't try to figure me out.
Although I brought you out, that was completely unintentional.
We are not foes.
Let's not have our paths cross again.
Is that so?
Yue Ya, you saw that? You won't blame me?
She lunged at me.
Vixen! Get out of here!
- Handle it this way. - Yes.
Hold on.
Take this.
Commander, this is...
Cigars.
Foreign rolled tobacco.
These are shipped over from France.
It would take months by land.
- These are indeed rare. - I usually give your mistresses gifts.
And now you have an eighth already!
I thought I'd get you something different.
Commander, I don't smoke.
How can a man not smoke?
Go and learn!
Here, put it in your mouth! Work on it.
- Vixen! I was kind to feed you - Sister...
but you're just an ingrate!
Get lost!
I must have been blind and misjudged!
I don't ever want to see you again!
Go as far away as you can!
Who is it? What are you doing here?
I...
I was just passing by.
Commander Gu gave us gifts again?
Master, why are you still pulling a long face?
Are you unhappy that Commander Gu didn't give you wine instead?
It's fine if he didn't.
It's quite nice to give us something different as well.
I think that Commander Gu is so nice.
Look, although you're buddies who grew up playing together
you are still his subordinate now.
Yet Commander Gu doesn't throw his weight around at all.
He treats you well and keeps giving you gifts.
If I had a buddy like him
I'd wake up laughing.
Wake up laughing?
Why aren't you laughing when I'm laughing so happily?
Get lost. Get lost!
Get lost!
Yue Ya.
Good Yue Ya.
Don't call my name.
Don't you prefer that young girl? Go and look for her.
How could I possibly like her?
You've misunderstood me.
What have I misunderstood?
You said yesterday not to keep her
but you had her in your arms today!
All men are just as bad.
Get up. I'm doing chores.
Yue Ya, are you jealous?
Jealous?
Who am I jealous of?
You really aren't jealous?
Go away and stop distracting me from doing my chores.
Yue Ya, you really misunderstood me.
How could I possibly fall for that girl?
She was the one who came lunging at me just now.
I already drove her away.
It's all your side of the story now.
Do you know who she is?
How would I know that?
She is Yue Qi Luo.
What?
Yue Qi Luo?
Didn't she die ages ago?
And... wasn't she sealed in the well?
I don't exactly know what happened.
But it's best that you be more careful.
Do you still carry the amulet that I gave you?
I do.
That's good.
I retrieved it from the bottom of the well.
Yue Qi Luo is afraid of it.
You must carry it with you at all times. Understand?
How is it?
It's all right. It really is.
This is great!
In a day, from vegetarian to meat and game dishes
you have no problem having them.
It seems that you have really recovered!
These blood talismans are indeed useful.
Who cares if it works?
We have to exterminate the monster.
It's a pity that Wu Xin didn't even tell us where that monster is.
I reckon that he didn't have a clue!
Most of these exorcists are just tricksters and not capable at all.
But I head that the Taoists in Qing Yun Monastry are quite good.
They are just a lot more arrogant and pricey.
Why don't we hire one?
Master! Madam! Bad news!
- Master! Madam! - Just say what the matter is.
What are you yelling for?
Those animals that Dharma Master told us to free yesterday
all died like the previous ones.
What? Are all of you blind?
Why haven't you figured out what it is after so many times?
Listen to me, Madam.
I saw the Dharma Master revive a dead rabbit once.
He also mentioned some sort of camouflage trickery.
Do you think that it has to do with these strange incidents?
How did you handle those dead animals?
We threw them all out in the woods outside the city.
They were all gone soon after we threw them out.
We thought they were devoured by stray dogs
so we didn't think too much about it.
Thrown away...
Don't leave right after you've thrown them out.
- Stay and observe what happens. - Yes, I understand.
Master!
Master...
You saw it clearly? Those dead animals all came back to life?
- Ask Madam to come over. - Yes.
- Mr. Wang, Mr. and Mrs. Su ask for you. - You gave me a fright.
- Come with us. - What are you doing?
Master, what is this about?
What is this about?
You're an ungrateful and treacherous old thing!
You have the cheek to ask us that?
We treated you fairly well.
We gave you great food and drink. We plied you with gold and silver.
How dare you gang up with the hunter and Wu Xin to trick us?
You made me suffer so much and embarrassed myself!
You are totally heartless!
Master, even if others don't know me well, you should.
This is such a slanderous accusation.
I have always been righteous.
I started storytelling in order to educate the people.
How could I possibly deceive anyone?
Do you really think that your plan was perfect?
We know about what you did in the woods yesterday.
Leave now.
Speak up! Did you tinker with those animals?
Why did you harm us?
Since you already know about it, I have nothing to hide.
But we should still get some things straightened out.
I've never conspired with the hunter.
It wasn't necessary.
Moreover, I would never deceive anyone.
It was entirely my doing to free those little animals.
What is my reason for doing so?
It's because I'm upholding justice for the gods.
You couldn't eat... That's also because of some tricks I played on you.
It really is you!
So what if it is!
Both of you murdered lives from the forest!
You feasted on their flesh and blood and even skinned them!
You even chose the young!
How cruel you are!
I have already let you off easy with such minor punishments!
Shut up!
Old man, what is wrong with us eating those animals?
The hunter hunts for us and we pay him for it.
We have every right to eat them.
You're now in our hands.
How dare you still act so arrogantly?
You don't want us to have meat?
You're upholding justice?
I'll let you watch to your heart's content!
What are you trying to do?
Let go of me!
Sit down!
Here, let me tell you the names of these dishes.
This is called "Five Rodents Crossing the River."
This one is "Scaly Anteater."
Only newborn anteaters can be deep-fried into crispy and tender bites.
Here, won't you try them?
I also forgot to say
these are all made with the animals that you freed yesterday.
That's right. You can free them, but we can catch them again.
As long as I paid for them
it's up to us to do what we want with these animals.
That's natural law.
- Do you understand? - Bullshit!
Bullshit!
Aren't you an elegant scholar? Why are you swearing?
Are you about to show your true colors?
- I... - Don't move!
Don't get so anxious.
After we finish our meal
we'll invite a real Taoist over from Qing Yun Monastry.
By then, we'll see if you are a human or a monster.
Here, dig in!
What is that sound?
There isn't any sound.
It must be coming from the cupboard!
There's no sound at all.
It's coming from that cupboard!
My dear, what is wrong with you?
My dear, what is wrong?
I can't breathe! Get some help!
Anybody there?
- Master! - What's wrong, Master?
- Fetch Dharma Master Wu Xin! - Yes!
Master, look!
I will make it known to you today what it means to do evil
- and suffer its consequences! - Run!
Dharma Master, why do you just leave like this?
Of course, I mean every word.
Dharma Master, stay for two more days!
Let your sister stay for two more days!
- Dharma Master... - Dharma Master!
Dharma Master!
- Aren't you Su's dog keeper? - Yes.
Calm down and speak slowly.
The storyteller... he's going to eat them.
Go and save our master!
Hold this.
Let's go.
Dharma Master!
[Su Residence]
Dharma Master, it seems to be fine.
You'll know it when you get in.
- Firm and unyielding! - Justice Bao...
Lord Bao!
Isn't this like "Visiting Yin Mountain"?
The unruly man and lawless woman who stand before my court
killed numerous innocent lives for the desire of good food.
You showed no mercy to the old
nor their young and orphaned.
You were cruel and spared none.
Do you plead guilty?
- Yes! - Yes!
I paved this road and planted these trees.
Give me some money to buy your way in.
I am the devil incarnate, Cheng Yao Jin!
If you won't obey me, my ax will fall upon you and leave you moaning!
Another trick.
Stop fooling around. Come with me to get married at home.
Get married my ass!
Jin Lian, I've missed you greatly!
You're Pan Jin Lian! Your entire family is like Pan Jin Lian!
I'll hit you if you don't leave now!
Let go of me!
- Yue Ya... - Don't come near me!
Go away! Let go of me!
Go away!
What happened?
Yue Ya.
Why did I see Xi Men Qing?
What happened to your face?
That...
This house is under the spell of the monster.
Everything you saw just now is an illusion.
I knocked myself into... a pillar.
Don't waste your strength. You can't get rid of the spell.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Let's go and find Commander Gu quickly.
I could pull mountains down, oh! With main and might!
Although I'm not Xiang Yu, I won't let you die.
My king.
Don't take your own life.
When you put your head on my shoulder, my imagination runs wild.
What is this about?
Stop having wet dreams.
That was just a spell.
No, what is this spell about?
Where is that lady?
Lady? Aren't you afraid that she might be a monster?
The spell made the illusions very convincing.
It means the power controlling this manor is very strong.
I think the monster is in the manor.
We have to break the spell as soon as possible.
Otherwise, that couple will really be in danger.
- Guards! - Present!
Drag both of them out.
Punish them according to how they treat those animals.
We're going to die!
- Help! - Help!
The female warriors of the Yang Family will fight against enemies together.
We have no regrets.
If you wish to pass through here
you have to ask for my permission!
Are all these monsters storytellers?
These are all lines from novels.
Stop wondering. Fend for yourself first.
Attack!
Guards Wang Chao and Ma Han!
Behead them with the dog-shaped chopper!
- Yes! - Firm and unyielding...
Hide!
Why do you pick the weaker one?
Come and save me quickly!
I haven't seen enough of Yue Ya yet!
Dharma Master!
Wait a minute!
Wu Xin! Come over here quickly!
Wu Xin!
- Wu Xin! - Right away!
Hurry up!
I can't hold it off anymore!
Why am I lying here?
Master!
- Master! - Madam!
Master! Are you all right?
Madam!
Get up quickly.
- Help! - We won't dare do it again!
Have mercy on us!
Get up now.
It's all right.
We're all right.
Dharma Master!
- You're a living Buddha! - Thank you for saving our lives!
Thank you for saving our lives!
Thank you, Dharma Master!
Thank you, Dharma Master Wu Xin
- for saving our lives. - Exactly. Dharma Master, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'll take Deity Huang with me.
Don't worry. As long as you stay on a vegetarian diet, wear linen
and perform good deeds to atone for your sins
he won't come to bother you.
Definitely!
We won't ever dare do it again.
From now on, it isn't just us who won't have meat.
We'll also advise the people of Wen County not to have any either.
That's right.
Deity, are you pleased now?
- I take my leave now. - Farewell.
Don't forget to go vegetarian.
- Yes. Take care. - Deity, after you.
Dharma Master!
Commander Gu, this carriage is going to my house.
Your headquarters is in that direction.
We're not going in the same direction.
I take my leave.
Dharma Master!
- Sir, drive us back to my house. - Yes!
Go!
Dharma Master!
No...
Yue Ya, we have arrived.
How is it?
Please go in.
If you wish to live in a house comfortably
it has to face a good direction.
It should be in the north facing the south.
You must have huge windows and good ventilation.
There must be trees and shade in the courtyard.
Big trees or grape trellis would do.
And you must have a huge kitchen.
If your kitchen is small
your life won't be nourishing.
Is our house nice?
It's your house.
I'm just a lodger.
All right, a lodger it is.
Whatever you say is fine.
Deity.
You've had your fill of food and sleep.
When do you plan to leave?
You don't have to worry about me.
I will make a decision.
As for you, you're a fine young man.
You did me a huge favor this time.
After all, if I truly took lives it would have wounded my practice.
In that critical moment, you managed to hold me back.
I have to repay your kindness.
How do you plan to repay me?
I can make one wish of yours come true. How about that?
Sure.
Get Yue Ya to marry me.
I don't take such unreasonable requests.
Moreover, it's Yue Ya's choice to marry you or not.
I can't influence her.
Change your wish.
Change a wish?
Leave my house.
That's fulfilling one of my wishes as well.
Can you try to be more serious and not put me off?
I am a very serious person.
But that doesn't matter.
I have all the time in the world.
We'll discuss it when you figure out your wish.
No, you...
Yue Ya made such a good rice congee.
I must have another serving.
Yue Ya!
The whole year's work depends on a good start in spring!
- Get lost! - That's impossible.
Listen up! My biggest wish is for you to leave my house!
I won't leave until I fulfill your wish.
I'm a very serious person.
I won't leave until I fulfill your wish.
I'm a very serious person. I won't leave until I fulfill your wish.
I won't let go!
Yue Ya!
- Come out here! - Let go of me!
I've been looking for you for days! Come here!
What are you doing?
This is my house.
I won't let you off easily if you keep on messing around!
You won't let us off? Do you know how we are related?
Do you know?
Get out of here! This is my house! Get out!
He is my father!
I am her father.
- Our son-in-law poured you some tea... - What son-in-law?
This...
Go on! Seriously...
I...
Yue Ya, listen.
We... already accepted the engagement gifts.
That makes you one of them now.
How can you just run away like this?
I don't care.
I'm not some object.
You can just sell me off when you want to?
You make it sound so awful. What do you mean saying that we sold you?
Moreover, you can't have such a bad temper.
You really don't wish to go home?
Look at her!
Look at her behavior!
Does she look like she wants to go home?
Isn't it obvious that she wants to wander about out here?
If I hadn't sent my two nephews to follow her all the way
we wouldn't have seen her today!
Stop it... Stop talking.
You sure are something.
First, you stayed in the commander's manor
and then you got yourself a boy toy in a few days.
You're even having a great time out here!
Have you no regard for your father and mother?
You have shamed the Li family!
No, she hasn't. Not yet.
I have no regard for my mother?
Are you my mother?
How old is my half-brother?
You're already saving for his betrothal gifts?
You married me off to an old man as his mistress for a bit of money!
Have you ever cared about me?
Little lass!
Who gave you such a temper?
Li Yue Ya, listen up.
I've already accepted the engagement gifts.
No way am I going to give that up!
You're coming with me today whether you like it or not!
I'll drag you home even if I have to tie you up!
What are you doing?
Yue Ya doesn't want to go back with you! Let go of her!
Old man, come over here!
Look! You'd better tie her up and drag her home to get married!
My dear! Stop shouting. It's not good to have anyone hear us.
Let me say a few words.
I think that she seems to be leading quite a good life
so it's fine if she doesn't want to go home.
What? It's fine?
Let's just forget about it.
You're such a jerk!
You want to call this off just like that?
Did you gang up to bully me?
We didn't.
I can't go on with my life anymore!
I'm so sorry...
- Why am I so pathetic? - My second wife!
Stop doing that! People will laugh at us!
- I don't want to live anymore! - Yue Ya's stepmother!
Isn't this embarrassing?
My daughter won't provide for me!
Get up!
- She won't acknowledge her mother! - Sit here and whine all you want!
You don't find it shameful but I do!
Go home, all of you!
My daughter won't provide for me now that she's grown up!
My life is so...
Why am I so pathetic?
Yue Ya!
My life...
Be a fair judge for me!
- Be a fair judge for me! - Look at that.
She married her stepdaughter off to some dying old man as a mistress.
Then she uses that money for a wife for her own son.
This stepmother surely isn't much of a good person.
Isn't that right?
She had Yue Ya's mother's gold bangle re-forged into
a necklace and earrings for herself.
Young lad, if I get that shrew to leave
is that repaying your kindness?
Of course it is!
It's my biggest wish for her to leave!
My goodness! I've seen a ghost!
She will definitely leave early tomorrow morning.
You're awake?
Is there anything I can do to help?
Take those side dishes out.
- Yue Ya... - Yue Ya...
- Mother... - I talked with your father last night.
Since you're doing quite well here, don't come home.
Otherwise you'll suffer with that dying old man.
No... It would make me sad to see that happen.
Ya Ya... I... Come here.
This is the dowry that your mother left you.
You didn't get married, so I safeguarded it for you.
I reforged the bangle into a necklace.
We'll go home now if there's nothing else.
Have some breakfast first?
She's right.
She already made us breakfast. Why don't we finish...
Finish what?
All you think about is food!
I'll make delicious food for your father when we get home.
Let's leave now.
- Leave now! - But I want some.
Father, why don't I pack you some buns to have on the way?
That will do just fine as well.
Look at you! What are you eating?
We should just leave now!
My dear, what are you doing?
You just do whatever you wish and you won't even let me have breakfast.
You still want to eat?
What do you know?
This is...
- What does that mean? - I said to go home and we will!
Let's leave now! Come on!
Ya... Don't walk us out.
You don't have to see us off.
Take good care of yourself.
Don't see us off...
Old man, get going!
Go!
Deity...
What method did you use that is so effective?
There's no fear of ghosts if your conscience is clear.
Those who are the easiest to tackle
are those with guilty consciences.
Just a small spell, and it solves the problem.
My life is so pathetic!
My life...
It's so pathetic!
Stop whining!
Look who's here.
Look at what?
My bangle has now become the necklace that you're wearing.
If you dare to bully my daughter again
and force her to marry that old merchant
you will come to keep me company!
Help!
My goodness!
Don't see me off... Don't...
Old man, hurry up!
Yue Ya, I'll ask you one last time.
What are your plans?
Look, you keep staying with a man without a valid status.
As time goes by, tongues will start wagging.
As a young woman, this isn't exactly a good long-term plan, is it?
Father, the way I choose to live is no concern of others.
If they speak ill of me, let them.
I have a clear conscience.
I'm not scared of that.
Besides, ever since I met him...
I've finally known what it is to be cared for by someone.
Even if I really do marry him in the future
I won't be at a disadvantage.
All right. I understand.
Lead... Lead a good life.
I'm going home now.
You can't stay on any longer, right?
You would like me to take care of Yue Ya?
I won't really make a good spouse
but as long as I live
and as long as Yue Ya consents
whether she marries me or not in the end
I'll do all that I can to protect her and take care of her forever.
Leave now in peace. I'll see you off.
- I'm leaving now. - Let's leave now!
- Father, be careful on the way home! - Leave now!
- Walk slowly! - Hurry up!
Move it!
What you just said... is that true?
Fine! You eavesdropped on me?
You're still laughing?
You're so annoying!
Stop right there!
Come here! Stop right there!
