Episode 11
Done.
Wear these two salted fishes and walk 500 steps.
You mustn't stop before you've reached 500 steps.
Go. Go.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Duo Ni. You've rid him of the gu poison already.
Why did you still tell him to wear two salted fishes?
If I don't do that,
how could I vent my anger?
I have to teach him a lesson.
You look much better now.
What are you doing?
Sun meimei detoxified his body?
Yes.
But I've got to thank you for it.
If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have known who to ask for help.
It's so weird hearing you talk seriously.
Is it?
I'm always like this.
It's because every time I ran into you there's a misunderstanding. You always resorted to violence before I could explain.
I...
I'm actually very gentle.
Why tell me?
Well, I really am very gentle.

49...
Where's Ye Xiaotian?
49...
I asked you a question.
Where is Ye Xiaotian?
Fatty. Our 3rd elder asked you a question!
497.
498.
499.
500.
Stop right there!
3rd elder.
You are bullying him.
Ye Xiaotian?
So there you are.
Why?
3rd elder, do you need something from me?
There is a nobleman who would like to meet you.
Who is it?
Me.
King Yang.
Why did you sneak after 3rd elder when you already have him pass along your message?
So secretive.
Miss Zhan, you misunderstand.
Yes,
I did ask 3rd elder to pass along my message.
It's just by chance that I pass by here. A chance encounter is better than an invitation.
3rd elder,
thank you.
Since the king came personally,
I'll bid my farewell.
I heard that the jiaozhu took a liking to you my brother.
Now that I've met you, I can see that you are indeed a clever and fine man.
Here,
I'll play the host today, let's drink a few glasses.
Don't go.
This man has a honey tongue and a heart of gall. Really evil.
If you are worried, you can come, too.
Xiaoxiao,
show them the way.
Yes, sir.
I'll wait for you out front.
Who is that?
What a show of power.
He's a chieftain of Bozhou.
His name is Yang Yinglong.
What a show off.
Yang Yinglong? That name sounds familiar.
He's an extraordinary person.
Say,
he's got talent, he's got power,
and he's good looking, too.
You'd be a good match.
I...
What?
Think he's not good enough?
Why should I think he's good enough?
I...
OK, so you don't. No need to get angry with me.
May I interrupt?
No!
When you're there, eat more drink less. Watch what you say. If something happens, no one will save you!
She's crazy.
She'll never find a husband like that.
Shh. Dage, you'll be as good as dead if she hears you.
Dage, may I interrupt? No!
Look at your cowardly self!
I'm going drinking. Don't follow me.
This way, please.
Miss Zhan,
brother Ye.
Please sit.
Miss Zhan and I know each other very well.
We see each other often in Shuixi.
Brother Ye,
this is our first time meeting.
You are also from Shuixi, aren't you?
You got that wrong.
I'm from the capital.
I met her in Huxian.
I see.
Brother Ye,
you are a very handsome man.
I can see that you are an exceptional individual.
You flatter me.
Miss Zhan.
It goes without saying.
Shuixi‘s large family, descendant of an esteemed family.
Save it.
Brother Ye,
I'm guessing you don't know about the Zhan family rules?
Don't trouble yourself.
I understand.
So it was love at first sight.
What?
King Yang.
You aren't blind, right?
I'm no swan,
but there's no need to marry a toad.
You really are mistaken.
Even if I were a toad,
I wouldn't marry a female toad.
Hey!
Brother Ye,
if you aren't a couple,
why did you come here together?
It was like this,
I was driven here by three crooks.
Later, through a strange combination of circumstances, I met the Church of Gu's jiaozhu.
To tell you the truth,
I am very interested in who will be the new jiaozhu.
Now that the current jiaozhu took such an interest in you,
if he lets something slip in front of you one day,
then...
could you tell me?
Even if I wanted to,
I'm afraid the person next to me won't agree to it.
Right now, she sees and hears but she isn't taking any notice of us.
She can't oppose us.
Shit.
Is this Yang Yinglong an expert poison user?
She doesn't know what we are saying or doing right now.
When she wakes up,
she won't be aware of the time that has passed.
She won't know what happened.
So, what do you think about my suggestion?
Well, about that...
If you do this for me,
these four girls
will be yours.
Lord chieftain,
the ladies are very beautiful,
but I already have a wife.
So, no, thank you.
If you agree to help me,
this gold will also be yours.
Lord chieftain,
has it crossed your mind that if I can't accomplish this task, this heavy price you pay will be for naught?
Moreover,
the jiaozhu only said it in passing,
what if he won't see me?
Brother Ye, you are still young.
There are things you won't understand.
A lonely old man who doesn't trust anyone
is like a helpless child.
When he meets a person he takes a liking to,
he will grow dependent on them.
For the past ten or so years,
he has been engrossed in studying the usage of poison intensively.
He has never shown interest in anyone else.
This is reason enough for me.
All right.
Good.
This way.
Jiaozhu,
the guest is here.
Jiaozhu.
A'Bao.
Wash some fruits to serve the guest.
Yes, sir.
Sit, sit, sit.
Sit, sit.
Your name is Ye Xiaotian, right?
Where are you from?
I'm from the capital.
The capital?
I've been to that place before.
When I was young and traveled the world.
I was living in the capital's Panther House for some time.
The Panther House?
Are you talking about the time when emperor Zhengde was ruling?
Yes, yes, yes.
It was then.
At that time, I was traveling around the capital.
I showed a little of my skill and emperor Zhengde took a fancy to me.
He invited me to the Panther House.
Inside the Panther House,
they not only domesticated rare wild animals,
there also lived lamas, taoist priests,
monks, martial arts masters, and gifted songsters.
As long as you're proficient in a particular skill, everyone was welcome there.
Thinking back to it now,
emperor Zhengde
was a very fascinating son of heaven.
Yes.
The stories about emperor Zhengde and the Panther House
are still relished by the people in the capital.
The Panther House...
Actually,
emperor Zhengde himself was a proud and untamed panther.
A court full of civil and military officials couldn't rein him back.
Even the Tatars were at their wit's end with him.
Emperor Zhengde
was a remarkable talent.
After he went to war with the Tatars, they were scared to invade us for over 30 years.
It's a pity,
his merits and achievements were only scarcely mentioned in the officials' writing. Subtle words containing profound truth.
In the end, the word 'horseplay' was all that's left.
Youngster,
you are very perceptive.
Amazing.
Amazing indeed.
Come,
let's talk inside.
How strange,
why is it thundering on such a sunny day?
The place you see
is our forbidden grounds.
Called the Forbidden Grounds of the Thunder God.
Forbidden Grounds of the Thunder God?
That place must be guarded heavily.
That place doesn't need to be guarded. No one dares to go in.
Why?
Because the people here
respect and fear the thunder god.
That area is often beset by thunder.
Sometimes, there are even thunderstorms without rain.
That's why the tribes around it classify this area as forbidden grounds.
It's just thunder.
What if there's someone who isn't superstitious?
There are people who aren't superstitious.
There were people who went in, but no one has been seen coming out.
There is really such a dangerous place on earth?
If we talk dangers on earth,
nothing compares to the human heart.
Some people are ambitious,
they covet the position of the jiaozhu.
They ally in secret,
collude with outsiders,
conspiring to usurp the jiaozhu's throne.
Jiaozhu.
You are talking about...?
Yang Yinglong harbors evil intentions.
Don't be fooled by his abundant talent,
his early rise and the success and fame he achieved.
If he doesn't know to restrain himself,
he'll meet his destruction sooner or later.
Stay away from him.
So you already know everything.
If I don't even notice the things that happen right under my nose,
it's not called shutting myself away from the world anymore,
it's called going daft.
Master.
As expected, the jiaozhu summoned Ye Xiaotian.
When Ye Xiaotian returns,
bring him to me.
Yes, sir.
Other people always tremble in fear before me.
Only you are different.
Talking to you makes me very happy.
In the future,
come here often.
Keep a lonely old man company.
As long as you don't find me annoying.
I'll take my leave then.
A'Bao,
see the guest out for me.
Yes, sir. This way, please.
By the way,
are you the jiaozhu's servant?
When I was little,
I was brought here by the jiaozhu.
He taught me many things.
He let me live here happily.
Jiaozhu treats you quite well.
However,
after coming here,
I have never gone out again.
Why?
The Jiaozhu
is afraid the vile world
will taint my soul.
Actually,
he has a point there. There are too many scoundrels out there.
Staying in this place is pretty nice. At least you don't have to worry about so much bullshit.
I'm off.
Ye gongzi.
King Yang is asking for you.
As expected, the jiaozhu received you.
What did you talk about?
Lord chieftain,
this is the first time I meet him.
I didn't dare to be too impudent.
Basically, I just listened to whatever the jiaozhu talked about.
But there must be content in the chatting, right?
The jiaozhu told me many entertaining stories about his travels when he was young.
He also told me that someone is trying to collude with outsiders to seize the jiaozhu's position.
He even mentioned you in the end.
He did?
What did he say about me?
He said
that you harbor evil intentions. He told me to stay away from you.
That old man hasn't gone daft yet?
So he has long known about my intentions.
Since the jiaozhu already knows that I'm in contact with you,
surely I won't be able to find out anything.
Anyway, I am determined to claim the jiaozhu's position.
If he doesn't hand it over to me obediently...
Lord chieftain.
I once saw Duo Ni use poison.
It's really frightening.
The jiaozhu of the Church of Gu is the church's number one man.
Certainly his skills in the use of poison...
I'm scared just thinking about it.
Aren't you scared?
If the use of poison can make you invincible,
then the Church of Gu wouldn't have to hide itself in the deep mountains and forests to play king.
The four great chieftains passed down their position for thousands of years.
All of them
have their own means to protect their family's most important figures.
You did very well this time.
Continue to do so.
Stop pulling me. It's inappropriate.
Did Yang Yinglong ask to see you just now?
Yes.
His people took me to him right after I left the shrine.
That Yang Yinglong's ambitions are growing more and more wild.
If he has control over the jiaozhu's successor,
it'll be a disaster.
No wonder grandpa sent me here.
What's the use of sending you here?
You just hang around. I haven't seen you do any work.
I'm the king of chieftains' granddaughter. Do I have to do anything?
Me being here demonstrates our An family's attitude.
Listen,
whether it's the jiaozhu or the 8 great elders, if they want the Church of Gu to continue its peaceful existence,
they have to consider our An and Zhan families' attitude.
Hey, did Yang Yinglong see you to ask about what you and the jiaozhu where talking about?
Did you tell him?
How could I not? He had his weapons ready.
I'm just a little fish.
If I don't listen to him, I'll become his dinner.
You've got no backbone.
Yes.
I'm not like you,
I don't have a king of chieftains as my grandfather who'll back me up.
So I must be a wise man who submits to circumstances.
Brat.
What are you looking for?
It really is you.
Always lingering around.
Yunfei!
I caught a rabbit!
There was a turtle, too, but it got away.
The rabbit was sleeping there and got caught by me.
Yunfei!
What happened to you? Get up, get up.
What happened?
You've got such a bad temper.
There's no need to get yourself so riled up over a failed hunt that you spit blood!
I got this from a fight, erge.
Can't you be serious?
You think I'm stupid? You think I don't know?
Where's the guy?
Will he appear again?
Listen, if he comes, I'm useless in a fight. He'll be all yours.
He's gone.
That's good, come on, get up.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
That's good then, come.
Help me carry the bag.
Bunny.
I'm exhausted from catching it. I'm so exhausted.
Let's go.
Jiaozhu,
during all these years that the Church of Gu has existed,
have the jiaozhus never thought about leaving these deep mountains?
We aren't strangers to the outside world.
Before a jiaozhu begins his reign,
he goes traveling.
This has become a jiaozhu's rite of passage.
So, after you returned from your travels,
did you not long for the outside world at all?
The world of mortals is nice, but it's not the Pure Land.
Only these vast mountains
are the foundation that the heritage of my Church of Gu is built on.
There are too many temptations in the outside world.
Look at him.
He feels at peace with all mankind, he is content by himself.
Isn't that wonderful?
What I miss the most
were the days when I was a servant working in the shrine.
Back then,
a mere smile the jiaozhu gave me
could make me feel very happy.
So very happy.
But now,
I'm very unhappy.
But as a jiaozhu you hold a lot of power.
You can enjoy things many people can't.
Perhaps it's because I'm still too young,
so my words are childish.
Jiaozhu?
A'Bao!
Hurry and come!
Jiaozhu! What's the matter with him?
Jiaozhu!
Jiaozhu.
Ye dage,
I'll go find help.
Go. I'll look after him.
OK.
Jiaozhu?
You... You woke up.
The time has come.
I thought
that I could still hold on for some time.
Xiaotian.
I need you to do me a favor.
Give this token to Zhan Ning'er.
Tell her to go to the Lake village and give this to the 4th elder.
Why don't you tell the people of the shrine to go?
Because...
Because I trust you two.
Leave it to me.
I will give her the token.
But...
Once you've left,
I will set up traps and seal off the shrine.
By then,
only the person holding this token will be able to enter the shrine safely.
Go.
I will use my secret method
to preserve my life.
I'll be waiting for the 4th elder.
Go.
[Church of Gu Shrine]
What happened?
Chief Ge, the jiaozhu is dying.
What? The jiaozhu is sick?
Let's go see him! Hurry!
- Shh. - What are you doing?
Are you blind?
I've been blinking like crazy, didn't you see?
What's the matter?
The jiaozhu told me to give this to you. He wants you to go to Lake village and tell the 4th elder to come back quickly.
Stop 'oh'-ing, let's go.
Stop! You mustn't step any closer.
Look carefully, look who I am.
I want to go see the jiaozhu!
By the jiaozhu's command, only the people holding the token may enter the shrine.
No one else may enter.
How is the jiaozhu?
The jiaozhu fell victim to an illness. He has woken up.
The jiaozhu has passed down the oracle long ago.
He said that his time was soon to come.
Now that he's fallen ill,
I assume that the big day has come.
We should go inside to see him.
We should listen to what he has arranged for.
After the jiaozhu woke up, he gave the instruction
that everyone shall wait outside the shrine.
Without his order, no one shall enter.
The inheritance is an important life and death matter.
The jiaozhu wouldn't refuse to receive us.
Perhaps, you are holding him a prisoner? Are you conspiring against him?
We are carrying out the jiaozhu's orders.
I will know whether you speak the truth or not after we've seen the jiaozhu.
How dare you bar my way?
Kill anyone who dares to stand in my way!
Chieftain Yang, don't force me.
Stop!
Who do you think you are?
How dare you use your weapon against the chieftain?
3rd elder, I'm under orders from the jiaozhu.
Under orders from the jiaozhu?
It doesn't apply to everyone equally.
Chieftain Yang is of noble status.
Even if he went in,
the jiaozhu won't blame you.
If the jiaozhu really doesn't want to see anyone right now,
I will see chieftain Yang out again.
But...
What?
Are you going to use your sword against me, too?
I would never.
Chieftain Yang, please.
Line up the forces.
Do not let anyone leave this place!
Yes, sir.
Yang Yinglong! If you can see the jiaozhu, then I can see him, too!
Let's go!
The jiaozhu isn't receiving anyone.
Is this really the jiaozhu's orders?
Go, tell the jiaozhu that Yang Yinglong is requesting an audience with him.
Go tell the jiaozhu that I'm here.
Yes, sir.
The Millenary Kill.
This is the greatest poison of the Church of Gu.
That's right.
The jiaozhu has cast the 10 great traps of The Millenary Kill around his chamber.
You should understand.
The Millenary Kill is a poison extracted from the magical millenary bug of the deep mountains.
It devours life, a thousand years in one split second.
If you have a lifetime of a thousand years, you could try and break through the barrier.
I have discussed this with chief Ge.
he'll delay Yang Yinglong while I go find the 4th elder at Lake village.
Are you OK by yourself?
This is something I have to do myself.
The jiaozhu is critically ill. We want to leave as soon as possible.
Take care of yourself.
News will spread fast.
The neighboring villagers of the 9 caves and 81 villages will all send their men here.
By that time,
under the watchful eye of everyone,
we won't be able to manipulate anything.
Does the old fool
intend to wait for everyone to gather here
before he announces his successor?
