Episode 30
This is the chieftain?
Greetings Chieftain!
Why has the chieftain arrived?
Choosing porters for the prince's funeral procession
Is my business
The guardian need not bother
Chieftain, you've lost your son
The family elders felt your mood would not be good
So they specially appointed me
To share your burden
Share my burden?
Throughout history, the porters sending off princes
Have always been native people
Yet you. Guardian, want to choose a Han Chinese
What motive do you have?
What motive could I have?
Eve thin that I do
Is for the chieftain
Load of bullshit!
Doing this
You're clearly humiliating me
Humiliating the Uyghur people!
The prince dying an early death
Is a warning from the Heavens^
This is greatly ominous
Not letting the Han Chinese carry his coffin
Do you, the Chieftain
Want misfortune to befall your clansmen?
You!
Don't worry. Chieftain
Hold it there!
You impudent person!
These Han Chinese people
Have been chosen to be the porters
You cannot kill them!
Unless you are telling me that the Chieftain
Wants to ignore the warning from God?
The sudden death of the prince
Is due to the lack of care on your part
The only way to break this curse
Is to have a tree burial for the prince at the Dead Man's Valley
In order to appease the anger of the God!
You mean the Chieftain wants to bring more bad luck to us?
You !
This Chieftain is really in a hopeless situation now
What do you mean?
Because of the prince's sudden death
The Chieftain has lost her reputation
She still needs to personally go to the valley to give the prince a tree burial
And pluck a holy branch from the holy tree to pacify the people
She was initially reluctant to bring any Han Chinese into the valley
And she even wanted to kill us all just now
Even though the lives of the Han Chinese are worthless
But the Han Chinese who are elected to be porters for the prince's burial
Are people whom she cannot harm
Guardian
The task that I've entrusted you to do
You must do it
Yes
This Chieftain, Shi Huai Chan is never to return back here
Everyone go back and pack your stuff quickly
We will begin our journey tomorrow morning!
Yes!
Let's go, let's go!
Lieutenant!
You saw that right?
One look at those people and you can tell that they are no ordinary people
That's right!
Who would have thought that this place
Would be full of unrest as well
It's such turbulent times right now
Where would be peaceful?
We originally came here to look for Fo Ye
Who could have thought that we got ourselves into this mess instead
Ba Ye
What do you plan to do?
Initially, the internal strife of the Bai Qiao
Has got nothing to do with us
But the people by Fo Ye's side are purposely putting out red herrings
We do not know where he is hiding at
I feel that this matter
Is definitely related to the Chieftain
Chieftain?
Looks like we have to take up this journey then
The funeral procession
Is our only chance to get close to the Chieftain this time round
Ba Ye, don't worry
I will definitely keep you safe
Lieutenant Zhang
I know of your skills
It's just that this whole matter is queer and fishy
I just don't understand
What does that Guardian plan to do?
Those people we saw at the entrance just now
We should really do a thorough check-up on them
Fatty!
Here Fatty, here here here
I'll pour some wine for you
Fatty
Just now, I saw..
Some very strong Han Chinese men
Since when did you have such people by your side?
Those aren't my people
Those are the skilled people that the leader hired
Tell us then
Why did the leader hire such strong people?
Because we need to protect the Chieftain and send her to the valley right?
A few more highly-skilled people is always a good thing
Is he trying to protect the Chieftain and send her to the valley
Or trying to send the Chieftain to heaven?
Do you want to die?
What rubbish are you spouting?
What
If you dare to do it, then you must dare to say it!
One look at those people and you can tell that they are assassins
Letting them send the Chieftain?
That only means sending the Chieftain to her death
You can even tell too?
What sort of people are you?
Don't worry
We just want to know what the guardian wants to do
We will not harm you
What's more
We are going to the valley with the Chieftain, right?
I'm not very clear about the specific details either
But I do know that
The guardian got the leader to find a few assassins
What I guessed is roughly the same as what you guys guessed
The guardian wanted to take this chance
To kill the Chieftain
This is just an unnecessary move
There have been heavy thunderstorms at the Dead Man's Valley recently
The environment is extremely dangerous
As long as the Chieftain enters the valley
She basically has no chance of surviving
But if
I'm saying if...
That chieftain manages to escape alive
Then all will be killed without mercy
This guardian has thought it all through
It seems like he's set his mind on
Wanting to kill the chieftain
And he's doing it outright
That's right
Tell me, how was the prince killed?
This, this.. I really don't know
It is said that the chieftain was immoral
It's a warning from the heavens
Mindless drivel
I know, you two are highly-skilled
But these killers have come with evil intentions
I think that
Once they enter the valley, they'll make a move
Given that, no one wants to go into the Dead Man's Valley either
When it comes to it, you two will have to act according to the situation
Escape if you have to
Don't lose your life for nothing
Sure, here, have a drink, drink
Come, drink
Set off
Are those killers
Walking right at the back on purpose?
The back has the best vantage point
Any movement can't escape their eyes
Putting it this way, they're all highly skilled?
The guardian is determined to succeed this time
Then quickly think of something!
I don't want to die here
Wait here
What are you doing?
The chieftain has commanded
No Hans are to get close!
Go back!
Bro, bro
Don't get worked up
Sorry, sorry
It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding
I thought you chap had a good idea?
What other way is there?
How would I know?
Stop with the nonsense, let's go
Be careful of the ones behind you
Is there any movement?
Not yet
Er Ye, let me help you
San Niang
Why are you here again?
Er Ye, let's leave the city first
When you find Ba Ye and the others
I'll leave
Send me out of the city
Ba Ye...
Ba Ye, I'll look for him myself
I'm happy to
You're in this state now
What can you do?
I don't want you to go to face danger alone
San Niang
I...
Er Ye
Are you blaming me for attacking Fo Ye?
It seems like in Er Ye's heart
I still can't compare to Fo Ye
Fo Ye never thought of breaking the rules of the Nine Gates
He just wanted to have a look
Who exactly did something in the tomb
Er Ye
I don't want to argue about this with you now
Towards Fo Ye
I just wanted to
Bring him down and take his territory
I never wanted to take his life
Er Ye doesn't believe me?
I believe you
Since Er Ye trusts me
Then I'll make this trip with you
San Niang
It's settled then
Now in Changsha
Everywhere has been locked down by Lu Jian Xun
What way do we have to escape?
Escape?
Do I, Huo San Niang
Need to make an escape?
What are you doing?
Sorry, sorry!
Let's go
I'm sorry
Chieftain is so wary
Even if you tell her who the killers are
She won't believe you
That's right
It seems like
Now, we can only keep our eyes on these killers
I thought we'd finish with this business very quickly
I didn't expect that it'd be so tricky
I've not been back to Changsha in so long
I wonder what the situation is like in Changsha
(Chen Mansion)
You said, Madame Huo left the city secretly?
Boss
She went out brazenly
Not secretly
She left last night
You're only reporting this to me now?!
I deserve death, I deserve death!
I overlooked it then!
I thought that Madame Huo was one of us
So I didn't pay any notice
I didn't think that she still hasn't returned today
I thought something wasn't quite right
So I reported to Boss
Why haven't you died from stupidity?!
Give chase, chase!
Yes!
Where are you going?
To chase after Er Yue Hong
You've found Er Yue Hong?
Thanks to Chief Lu's brilliant plan
Wanting to use seduction to trap Er Yue Hong
I see you've been tricked by them
Now, Huo San Niang has already brought Er Yue Hong
To escape out of the city
I know that Huo San Niang left the city
She went out to look for a skilled person
To help us enter the tomb
Aside from the Nine Gates, there are no skilled people
Chief Lu believed that?!
I'm in a rush to chase after Er Yue Hong
I won't say more
Boss Chen
If Huo San Niang escaped overnight
If you give chase now
I don't think you'll be able to catch up to her
Do not be hasty
Let's make a longer term plan
Please
I know that
Boss Chen is anxious to find Zhang Qi Shan
But you must not act blindly
The people I've sent to give chase have reported back
They've not found traces of Yin Xin Yue and Zhang Qi Shan's at all
Which means to say, they may very well
Not have returned to Bei Ping
This great earth
If they really wanted to hide
You would never be able to find them
What does Chief Lu mean?
Then let's..
Wait for the rabbit under the tree
As long as we have something that Zhang Qi Shan wants
Need we worry that he won't appear?
You mean to say..
That ancient tomb?
That's right
Zhang Qi Shan barely made it out with his life from that tomb
And blew up that mine shaft
Which means to say that there is definitely something that he wants in there
As long as we re-enter the tomb again
And find it
Need we fear that Zhang Qi Shan
Won't turn up at our door?
Then, about Madame Huo
What are Chief Lu's plans?
If Huo San Niang
Really allied with Er Yue Hong
Then in the Nine Gates
If we can replace Lao Si
We can replace Lao Qi too
Chieftain be careful!
These mountain roads are hard to travel on
Now that it's raining
It's even
Guardian clearly knew that it was going to rain heavily here
But forced me to enter the valley
What a savage wolf
We can't let him get what he wants
Everyone be careful
Let's keep going
Yes
Say, this chieftain must be out of her mind
It's raining, and we're still going on?
That's enough, shut your mouth
I see those people behind us seem to be about to make a move
It seems so
Then what do we do
Counter changes with consistency
Then, I'll rely on you later
Don't worry
I'll hide far away
I won't get in your way
Okay
First I need to clarify!
I'm not being disloyal!
I'm telling you
As long as you aren't a burden to me
I'll thank god for that, really
Okay
I-I-I-1 see them take their swords out
Wh-what what do we do?
I saw it too
Then- then we must hold on!
After I-I see Fo Ye
I'll praise you!
Be quiet first!
I want to be (quiet) too!
But I can't control it!
Th-there's so many of Th-them!
Y-you-can you beat them?
Some of you stay behind to protect the prince
Everyone else, follow me
Yes
Let's go
It's really a pain
Black Qiao and white Qiao are enemies
How could we meet with people from the Hei Qiao Village?
Be quiet!
This is the Hei Qiao's territory
It isn't strange at all to run into them
And this place is full of traps
We're safer if we follow them
If we are discovered
We won't even know how we died
Let's go quickly
Scared me to death
Thankfully the people from Hei Qiao Village appeared in time
Otherwise
Those killers would have made a move right?
They were interrupted by the people from Hei Qiao Village
But these people from Hei Qiao Village
Do not have good intentions either
That's right
The appearance of Hei Qiao Village
Is indeed a little strange
Could they have come for chieftain?
It is very possible
Let's keep going and see what happens
Easy for you to say!
I'm someone who doesn't know how to fight
These killers are enough for me
If you add those Hei Qiao Village people on
Won't I die for sure?
Ba Ye, don't worry
It will be okay
Swords have no eyes
Your two fists are no match for four hands
Moreover
If a fight really breaks out
Will you be able to think about me?
Why are we so unfortunate?
To have ended up with this mess?
Say,
The Bai Qiao is quite a mess
With turmoil inside and out
Within the village
There's an ambitious guardian who wants to cause trouble
Outside the village, there's Hei Qiao
That's watching them ready to pounce
Enemies everywhere
We have no choice
When the time comes, take care of yourself
What can we do then?
Let's take one step at a time
And leave it up to fate
Thank you
Pay closer attention to that person
They're no ordinary person
Pay more attention
Yes
Let's go
Earlier, just your one movement
That movement, was so beautiful
How have those people from Hei Qiao Village disappeared?
That's right
They're dead! They're dead!
Aren't these the Hei Qiao Village people who were dancing earlier?
Why are they here?
We were led here by ghosts!
They're ghosts! Ghosts led us here!
Ghosts! Ghosts!
Ghosts have come to take lives!
Run! Run!
Everyone retreat!
Yes!
Protect chieftain!
Keep your eye on chieftain
There's something strange going on here, go!
It is difficult to journey, a broken foot being the difficulty
It seems like this reading signifies
This place is filled with great danger
Anyone can tell just by looking at it?!
Let's go quick!
Go go go
Chieftain, it seems like we're lost
That's right, where's the path?
We seem to have been met with a trap!
Why is there no road ahead?
The Hei Qiao people have come for our lives!
We couldn't really have met with ghosts, right?
Something isn't right
It really isn't right
Eyes as the glasses to the heart
Everything is but a void
Ba Ye, what have you worked out?
Aren't you great?
Why don't you see for yourself?
I-1- when have I worked it out?
Just now!
You told me not to calculate it!
And said that you could tell just by looking!
>Ba Ye
What sort of time is this?
You're still in the mood to joke around?
If you have a plan
Naturally you'll be in a good mood
What plan?
These Hei Qiao people
Used witchcraft
They are just manipulating your minds
But
It comes from Fu Xi's 8 trig rams
Everything is constant, in spite of how different it may seem to be
I can definitely solve this
Light and dark battle, with fire beneath the ground
Seeking darkness
The signs of being harmed, avoid it and all will be well
What do you mean, Ba Ye?
Lets follow the water out
No way
The people of Hei Jiao Village are in the water, wanting to take our lives
If we go by the water, we'll be dragged into it!
That's right, you're here to harm us!
Yes, you want to harm us!
You don't understand!
The plan by the Hei Jiao Village people
Is just to disguise this life-saving road
As a death trap
To have us not notice it
But what if
What if, we go the wrong way
What do we do?
He seems to be saying the truth
We don't understand this situation either!
If we make a misstep, we'll lose our lives too
We've stood here for ages now
Are we going or not?
Seriously
On what basis should I trust you?
Chieftain
I know the way out
This marsh secretly combines the 5 elements and 8 trigrams
The way out is in the east
Are you going or not?
If you don't go now, the sky'll be dark
And we won't be able to get out!
Let's go
Forget it, forget it, let's follow then
What do we do?
Let's go out for now
Logically, they won't leave chieftain behind
If we remain, there'll only be death
Let's go
Okay, let's go
They've all gone
Chieftain
Let's follow them out for now
If there are any changes
When we get to somewhere safe
It'll be easier to act
Alright, let's go
We really made it out!
You've got to be kidding
The 5 elements and 8 trigrams is my profession!
If I say we can get out
We can get out
Yes
Ba Ye's right
We're out, we're out!
We've made it out!
We won't die!
After we've finished the burial
We can return home and live out the rest of our days!
If it weren't for sir, we'd be dead!
Many thanks to my benefactor
We're all Han people
There's no need to be so polite
Yes yes yes
Thanks
Why has the chieftain not come out yet?
Don't worry
Hasn't she come now?
So next, where do we go?
Naturally we'll go to find somewhere to settle down at
Ba Ye
It looks like this village is already abandoned
Ba Ye
This is a stone keeping watch
It's said that if you touch it, you will summon evil spirits
And bring tragedy and death
Everyone you must not touch it
How is it so severe?
There can't be ghosts right?
Everyone be quiet
There should be an ancient tomb nearby
This guarding stone guards the ancient tomb
As long as no one touches it
It won't be a problem
Then why don't we, find somewhere to settle down first
Yes
Chieftain
We've checked it
The old temple is very safe
Good
We'll rest here tonight
Yes
Let's go
This chieftain is so alert
She's sitting closest the door
Clever
Clever, but it is also useless
Compared to them, she's no match
So what if you can fight?
Earlier, in the marshes
Wasn't it still because of me
That everyone could make it out?
Yes, it's all because of Ba Ye
Ba Ye
How could you know for sure
That chieftain would follow you?
Chieftain is now a bird startled by the mere sound of a bow-string
The more you tell her
The more suspicious she is
The marshes are so dangerous
If she stays behind
It's a certain death
So, regardless
She'll follow me
It is so
Fo Ye always tells me
Our Ba Ye, reads fortunes
But more than that, he reads the hearts of people
Fo Ye really praises me like this?
Fo Ye also said
It's precisely because Ba Ye is too good at reading the hearts of people
That somethings
I shouldn't reason it out logically with you
Just directly
Use force, and that will do
How is this Fo Ye praising me?
He's obviously insulting me
Thinking that I won't understand his words of praise?
You're still laughing?!
If Fo Ye were here
I'd really be willing to be bullied by him
But now, we don't know where Fo Ye is
And we don't know how his illness is
Say
What illness does Fo Ye have exactly?
I'm not too sure either
Fo Ye's situation
Seems rather odd
Fo Ye, here, have some water
Fo Ye
Fo Ye!
You mean, Fo Ye, isn't ill?
It has been many days since then
How Fo Ye is right now
We'll have to judge after we see him
Then we have to make haste
Thank you sir
It was really dangerous today
You're welcome, you're welcome
There's strange things all around this valley
No wonder it's called Dead Man's Valley
I heard that Hei Qiao is the most evil
Today, we must have met with ghosts!
Rubbish!
I've heard lots about ghosts!
Who's seen one though!
Let me tell you
In this world, there are only humans
Pretending to be hosts and dieties!
Th-then if it weren't ghosts
Then how did people from Hei Qiao
Suddenly disappear?
And suddenly die here?
Th-that, we saw for ourselves!
That which you see, may not be the truth
Your eyes can deceive you too sometimes
Anyway
We were all not met with ghosts today
Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it out of the marshes
It's just that.
It is indeed a bit strange for the Hei Qiao Village people
To suddenly appear like this
I'm afraid they'll have another move
Everyone be careful
Chieftain, don't worry
These Hei Qiao may not be coming for us
Looking at them
The seem to be holding some sort of ceremony
That's right
But these few days, are not days of celebration
What have they come here for?
What's more
It was so coincidental
That they met with us?
We can't not be wary
Can you all calm down?
Am I not just setting a trap?
Is there a need for you to be so nervous?
Attack!
What is that?
Ghosts! Ghosts!
You're really a living god!
Get up quickly, get up get up!
Get up quickly, get up!
Like I said
Ghosts are just all lies
These things
Are small tricks I learnt when travelling the world in the past
It is all an illusion
But the people of Hei Qiao Village
Believe in evil and crooked ways
So they were so panicked
