Episode 31
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
But those people clearly died in the marshes
How-how have they come back to life?
That's right! We saw them with our own eyes!
Didn't I tell you
What you see may not be the truth
Then really, thank you Sir
Thank you Sir
It's nothing!
Not worth mentioning!
This, I shan't hide from everyone
Actually
I'm a fortune-teller
These things, are things I use to get a meal
It's really not something to make a fuss about
It's just that the Hei Qiao Village people panicked at the time
That's why they fell for it
But, I'm afraid that they may figure it out quite quickly
Let's go
Go
I can't do this anymore, I can't
How come these people think of rain just at the sound of wind?
I said that the people of Hei Qiao Village may come back
They
They're running for their lives like it were real!
I can't run anymore, I can't run anymore!
Ba Ye
Just bear with it for a bit more
Bear with it?!
Is this something that can be solved by bearing with it?
They're going on such a rapid march!
Even Fo Ye isn't so impatient!
Ba Ye
Chieftain is gone
It seems like I'll have to use my secret weapon
Here, you drink!
It'll work better if you drink it!
Quick, drink drink! Drink!
Ba Ye!
Let's go
That way
Ba Ye, something's not right
Where are they?
Why have they disappeared?
These reeds are so dense
They may be lost
It's alright if they are lost
I'm just worried that they..
All is quiet in the vastness
It seems like, when chieftain's guard is lowest
These killers won't be able to control themselves
Do they need to be so anxious?!
I'd originally thought that we experienced life and death together
We've built some bonds
Ba Ye, those are killers
The sound of a whistle!
It seems like
It's the way the Bai Qiao people communicate
They're lost
Then what should we do now?
I'll go save chieftain
You take care of yourself
Lieutenant!
I know the chieftain is
Silly donkey, wait for me!!
That's not good
The killers are moving in one by one
Guided by whistle noises of the Bai Qiao people
Killing them
Chieftain
The others may have been killed
Chieftain, don't worry
We will definitely protect you
It's you
I blew the whistle
Just to lure you out
What do you want to do?
We just want to kill the chieftain
Leave us to it
And we won't give you trouble
You don't have any relations with the chieftain, right?
It seems like, she doesn't know you at all
Yes
I don't have any relations with chieftain
Then that's great
Let the water from the well not interfere with water from the river
Sure
As long as you leave immediately
And not harm the chieftain
I'll spare you your lives
Since you're looking for death
Then I won't stop you
Brothers, attack!
It seems like the chieftain is already safe
What are you laughing for?
You mean to say you have a back-up?
Bai Qiao are your men?
That's right
You thought
The guardian only sent one group of killers?
The Bai Qiao guards beside chieftain
Are the true trump cards
Even if you're a variable factor
You can't save chieftain either
Chieftain, don't respond
You'll allow the enemy to know of our position!
Yes, you're right
How many men do we have left?
I was incapable
The landscape of the reeds is complicated
Everyone was separated
And those killers are very capable
Our men, were mostly killed or injured
Let's go
Lieutenant!
Ba Ye?
You're here!
It's great it's great, I found you
I found you, I found you
Ba Ye, why are you here?
Don't ask me so many questions!
Where's the chieftain?
I lost her
And the Bai Qiao men beside the chieftain
Are killers too
You can guard against everyone
But it's hardest to guard against thieves from your own family
This place is so vast
How will we find chieftain?
So you keep blowing your whistle?
Silly donkey
If someone is lost off course you have to go search for them!
Ba Ye what are you looking for?
I found it!
Thankfully I left a trick up my sleeve!
Lieutenant, let me tell you
Look, this white powder
When we were in the old temple
I secretly put it on chieftain
As long as we follow this white powder
We'll find chieftain
I wanted to tell you earlier
How to find chieftain
But you
Ran off immediately!
Quicker than a rabbit!
I couldn't even catch up to you
Seriously...
Then Ba Ye in the future when you speak
Can you get to the main point first?
What?!
Did you give me a chance to speak?
Yet you're saying I don't get to the main point when I speak?
Alright, let's go search for chieftain quickly
Wait for me!
We finally made it out
Chieftain
Sit here and rest for a while
Be careful!
#unrecognized text#
Let's go!
Don't come over!
Today I was not as skilled as others
But I, a chieftain
Will not die by the hands of the Han people!
You misunderstood
I came to save you
LI I c.
W-what happened to you!
What's wrong?
#unrecognized text#
Move away
Er Ye!
If anything were to happen to Er Ye
You'll pay with your life!
I...
No no no
San Niang
Why are you here?
Er Ye only just got better
And came to look for you
We followed your clues all this way
And made it to Bai Qiao Village
We only just made it to the village
And heard that you were made into mourners
To accompany chieftain into the Dead Man's Valley
Er Ye was worried
So he followed you here
But earlier, Er Ye saw that chieftain was in trouble
So..
San Niang
Now Er Ye's health is not yet better
Why don't you send him back to Bai Qiao Village to recuperate?
Leave these things here to Lieutenant Zhang and I
We'll sort it out
Sure
I thought you were here to kill me
If we wanted to kill you
Why would we save you?!
Then..
You aren't with those Han killers?
She thinks that us Hans are all bad guys
Chieftain, think about it
Who found those Han killers?
Your family's guardian, who was worried that you weren't going to die
Not only did he find Han killers
He also bought over the Bai Qiao Village guards by your side
That's impossible!
Pull him up!
Get up
Who sent you here!
Chieftain spare me. Chieftain!
It was all the guardian who wanted me to come kill you!
I had no choice!
You!
I'll kill you!
Chieftain
Don't be rash
Chieftain, do calm down
Now the danger has already passed
I feel that
We should find the group
And continue heading on
What do you think?
Greetings, chieftain!
There were evil ones who wanted to harm me
Now they've been cleared
Next
We'll be heading into the valley
To bury the prince
When we return to Bai Qiao Village
I will definitely reward you greatly
Thank you chieftain, thank you!
Now the sky is darkening slowly
Let's continue heading forward
Yes yes yes
Let's go then, go go
Let's go!
Go, quickly! Quick!
Many thanks to the both of you
The both of you did your best to help me
But I was suspicious of the both of you
Chieftain, you are welcome!
For a person in your position
It is only normal to have many fears and doubts
Oh right
How is your friend now?
Why did he..?
He originally had an old injury on him
And has never fully recovered from it
I reckon that it struck again
When he was saving you today
I'm really sorry
Then...
That woman is., his wife?
Chieftain, I think you've misunderstood
Er Ye's wife
Has passed away a long time ago
The both of them have a very good relationship
The one you saw just now
Is only just a good friend of ours
I see
He has a handsome and fine appearance and has such extraordinary skills
But he is such a passionate person
Such a man is hard to come by
Er Ye is a very fine person indeed
Chieftain
Have you ever heard of Zhang Qi Shan
Zhang Da Fo Ye?
Zhang Qi Shan..?
How could it be?
You mean
Fo Ye and Madame did not come to Bai Qiao Village at all?
Madame?
There was a Madame Zhang who
Got someone to look for me on her behalf
I initially did not want to meddle in her business
However she spent a lot of money
And only had a simple request
She said that her husband was ill
to recuperate away from the eyes of the world
And she hoped that I would be accommodating to her request
Then where are they now?
Just how are Fo Ye and Madame now?
Chieftain
Don't worry
We will definitely send you to the burial place of the prince
But you need to tell us
Where is Fo Ye
It's not that I do not trust the both of you
It's just that...
You are afraid that we would abandon you
And go back on our words?
Chieftain
How about this
We will definitely send you back to Bai Qiao Village safely
And then
You can tell us where Fo Ye is at alright?
Yes, definitely
I was initially curious
On why the both of you would lend me a helping hand
Looks like the both of you have something that you want
I'm assured now then
As the saying goes
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
This is the most reliable trade in the world
Chieftain
We must lose no time
We will set off tomorrow
And enter the tree burial place to bury the prince
Alright
Fo Ye!
You gave me such a shock!
What's with you?
I dreamt something bad about Fo Ye
That can't be true!
No bad luck will come Fo Ye's way
God blesses the good people
You must be too tired
One dreams at night what he thinks about in the day
I don't know either
I'm just worried about Fo Ye
Let me tell you this
Things like dreams
Are always the opposite!
Don't tell me that you have telepathy with Fo Ye?
No
I'm just worried about Fo Ye
There is no need to worry
Fo Ye has sister-in-law by his side
He will be fine
That's true
With Madame around
She will make sure that Fo Ye will be safe and sound
Speaking of our sister-in-law
She is a really great person!
Look! She was able to secretly contact the Chieftain
And has gotten people to spread false information as well
Awesome
Let me tell you this
The first time I saw sister-in-law in Bei Ping
I secretly told her fortune
Guess what?
The hexagram showed that
Madame is Fo Ye's saviour!
As long as Madame is around
Fo Ye will be void of all bad luck when it comes to everything
I hope so
Don't worry
Alright, let's go
Get ready to head out!
Let's go
Just keep walking forward and we will reach soon
Oh my god
There is actually such a huge tree that exists!
That's right! This tree must be magic!
That's right
Time will bring about many marvelous spectacles like these
It's just that people do not know about them
Get up
This is our Bai Qiao Holy Tree
It can ensure that bodies will not decay
So in past generations
Princes who have died young
Have been buried here
So magical?
Then does Chieftain
Know the reason behind this?
Since past generations
This has been
A blessing to the Bai Qiao people from the Gods
Child
Have a good journey
Lift up the prince
And follow me to bury him
i y
Don't touch it!
They actually gave such a vicious blow!
These darts are layered with toxic
Antiaris toxicaRia
The Guardian has put such deep thought into this
He actually dared to tamper with the Holy Tree
He probably wanted to make sure that he would succeed
Thanks to you
If not, our efforts would have gone to waste
I just had an uneasy feeling
The Guardian planned this for such a long time
He would not give up at such a crucial moment
He really went all out
This is known as the Dead Man's Valley that will see to no return
I-1 don't know anything at all!
The Guardian didn't say
T- That he set some traps in the Holy Tree!
This- this is our Holy Tree!
No one dares to take reckless actions!
What's more
The Guardian never intended to let the Chieftain
To even stay alive to this point
You mean it's not him
Those who dare to tamper with the Holy Tree
Will be severely punished by Heaven and Earth!
Chieftain, don't flare up first
How about this
Just hand over the task of burying the prince to my buddy
Is that alright?
Yes
Our Bai Qiao people believe in nature
With the tree burial being the highest rite
There are three respectable tombs on the canopy of the tree
Two ancient coffins have already been placed into two of them
Please place Wu Er into the last one
Oh right
Remember to pluck off a holy branch
That has the symbol of the Bai Qiao people on it
After I return to the village
This is the evidence to show them that I have buried Wu Er
Yes
Take this
Come here!
How is it?
I will be done soon!
Be careful!
Are you fine?
I'm fine
Many thanks
They gave many excuses saying that Wu Er's sudden death was bad luck
And forced me to give him a tree burial personally
But they only wanted to kill me
But they never thought that
I would be able to survive till now
Once I return to Bai Qiao Village
I will definitely destroy all of them
Ba Ye
This has a very curious shape
Seems like I've seen it before somewhere?
This is the bell of the Hei Qiao people!
Why do you have it?
I found it on the Holy Tree
In addition
The two ancient coffins which you mentioned about
Have been stolen
What?!
The Hei Qiao people stole the coffins?!
They probably did
I initially thought that they were just targeting me
You mean that they are after something else?
Chieftain
No matter what the Hei Qiao people plan to do
We should return to Bai Qiao Village
And give the matter a further think through
That's right
No matter how dangerous the Hei Qiao people are
It will never be comparable to the internal power struggle of our Bai Qiao people
Didn't think that tonight
We would still be able to come back to this shabby temple
We kept getting lost on our way here
Now that we are back, we are all eager to go home
And will naturally be faster
Go!
I don't need you to take care of me!
Huo San Niang?
Isn't Huo San Niang taking care of Er Ye?
Ba Ye, Chieftain
Go in first
I'll go and have a look
Let's go
Go!
Er Ye
This- just now..
Are you feeling better now?
I'm fine
You're already in this state
Yet you are still saying that you are fine?
Did you get into an argument with Madame Huo just now?
Madame Huo!
Please wait
What do you want?
How you have taken care of Er Ye
Ba Ye and Fo Ye will firmly remember
I do not need their concern
What's more
You don't even know if Fo Ye is dead or alive
Madame Huo
Seeing how you have taken good care of Er Ye
I will not use my fists against you
But once he returns to Changsha
I will definitely make you pay
I did it
As the head of the Huo family
I am not like that Ya Tou
Who is such a useless person
And only knows how to hide behind Er Ye's back
And is even a burden to Er Ye
Madame Huo
About the matters between you and Er Ye
I shouldn't say anything
But seeing how you've cared for Er Ye
I will just say this
And I hope that you will extricate yourself as early as you can
For both you and Er Ye
This will be good
I do not need you to remind me about that
How did it go?
Where is Madame Huo?
Madame Huo has left
She left??
Er Ye
Even though Madame Huo is ruthless in her actions
But she has been nothing but sincere to you
There is little common ground for understanding when we have differing principles
What is the point of giving her false hope?
Forget it, forget it
Oh right
Why didn't you wait for us before taking action on your own?
What if we couldn't come back in time tonight?
What would you do?
41 acted rashly todays
Thank you Sir for saving me
This is the elixir of the Bai Qiao people
This can ease your pain
Eat it
#unrecognized text#
Don't hesitate anymore!
Er Ye, stop hesitating and eat!
Er Ye
You now owe a favour to another beautiful girl
Madame Huo just left
And here comes a Chieftain
Who even practices like you do?!
Both legs are so weak
Since we need to enter the tombs soon
I will pardon your pathetic ass for once!
Going down into the tombs is very dangerous this time
You guys better pull yourselves together!
I only want success
And no failures!
Yes, Sir!
Zhang Qi Shan
You can hide, but not forever!
I don't believe that I won't be able to capture you
