Episode 12
I have discussed this with chief Ge, he'll delay Yang Yinglong while I go find the 4th elder at Lake village.
Will you be 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.
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?
Then we...
Pass down the order to place our camp outside the shrine.
Yes, sir.
Master.
Luo Baichuan has arrived.
Bring him here.
Come in.
Greetings, my king.
Baichuan, you came just at the right time.
The jiaozhu is critically ill, he is about to name his successor.
Someone under my control has to obtain the position.
Stay here and await my orders.
Yes, my king.
Lao san!
I ran into dage on my way.
Dage.
Daheng told me you got hurt.
Are you ok?
I'm fine. Just some scratches.
Who was it?
I don't know.
This place is full of all kinds of people, good and bad. I'm worried something bad might happen.
Dage,
did something happen?
The leader of the Church of Gu died. Many people are coveting his throne.
I think they'll soon start a fight.
We should get out of here while they aren't paying attention to us.
How is your injury?
I'm good.
Let's go.
My king.
3rd elder is here.
Let him in.
Come in.
King Yang.
The jiaozhu sealed off the shrine.
I've tried everything but even I can't get in.
This will not do.
Why did that old fool
set up poisonous traps around his chamber?
What on earth is he waiting for?
He must be waiting for someone.
Someone? Do you mean the 4th elder?
The great elder and 2nd elder are of old age. They do not tend to the Church matters.
Right now, the jiaozhu's right-hand men are 3rd and 4th elder.
But jiaozhu doesn't have a lot of trust in you.
That's why
he is probably waiting for the 4th elder.
I have been standing guard there throughout. No one was sent out from the shrine.
Was anyone with him when he fell ill?
A'Bao, Ye Xiaotian.
A'Bao didn't come out.
Was it...
Go and bring Ye Xiaotian to me immediately.
Yes, sir.
Catch Ye Xiaotian?
My son Daheng is with him.
My king.
I wish to go along.
Go.
Run!
You two go ahead.
Let's split up.
Don't let them get away.
Leave quickly!
Come out, come out!
Who is it?
Come out!
Go!
Stop!
That hurt.
What are you waiting for? Hurry!
Slow down.
I can't keep up with you!
Stop nagging!
Quick!
Forbidden grounds of the thunder god.
I can't anymore.
My god. The forbidden grounds of the thunder god!
King Yang.
Another couple of village chiefs came to the shrine after hearing about the jiaozhu's condition.
We can't wait any longer.
- If we wait any longer, I fear... - What's there to fear?
B-But...
At the worst, we go fight a life or death battle.
With that strength of his, can the 4th elder win against you?
My king.
we almost caught Ye Xiaotian and his two brothers,
but Zhan Ning'er suddenly appeared out of the blue.
She helped them escape.
What about Xiaoxiao?
Bai jiejie went after them. She may be able to catch them.
Quick.
Quick!
Keep up.
Quick!
Wait.
I can't anymore.
We ran so far.
I think we've lost that whitey.
Let me rest a bit.
Why is it that after I met you, I've been running into all sorts of trouble?
Every time we meet, something bad happens.
First you spilled my bowl of noodle, then you made me get into a fight.
I had eggs splashed all over my face, and you even stole my money!
Seriously, how can you be so...
How about we play a game?
What game?
Let's see who can stay quiet for two full hours.
Who speaks first loses.
Starting now.
We are saved!
You lost.
You spoke first.
The game has ended.
Look.
I found this.
Someone must have been here, which means that the exit isn't far away.
What?
Isn't this mine?
Who put it here?
I think we are in deep trouble.
We've been running for a long time, but we've been running in circles.
The thunder god is already punishing us!
He really is angry.
He didn't forgive us.
What do we do?
What do we do? What do we do?
What do we do?
I have an idea.
Look at the thunder god statue.
What I mean is that if we keep our backs to the thunder god statue and continue to run forward, we can find the exit, right?
The thunder god won't let us off this easy.
He is already angry.
What a crackpot.
- Don't, don't! - If you don't go, I'm going.
There's danger ahead!
Don't go alone.
Don't run so fast.
Wait for me.
A skeleton.
He must have displeased the thunder god to encounter such a fate.
What do we do?
Thunder god, please calm your anger. This is really our first time.
Strange.
If he was bitten by wild animals, the skeleton shouldn't be this clean.
It's so disgusting, how can you touch it?
I'm getting hungry.
How can you be in the mood to eat?
Gotta find food.
Wait for me!
Wait for me.
Say,
why is there a cottage here?
This cottage looks like it's been here for many years.
Where is its owner?
I know.
Maybe the skeleton we saw today
was this cottage's owner?
Ye Xiaotian, listen to me, stop talking.
I'm a little bit scared.
It's been many years.
Perhaps, the skeleton has turned into the white-boned monster?
It lies outside during the day,
at night it returns.
I'm warning you,
stop talking!
You are so fearful.
Do you hear that sound?
What sound?
The sound of footsteps.
Listen.
Are you not eating?
I'm not eating! I'm gonna go sleep!
You are so fearful.
I've left you a fish!
You really don't want it?
How did she fall asleep so fast when she was scared half to death just now.
What a girl.
Sleep.
What the hell!
Run!
I want to go back.
You can't.
It's too scary, those things.
That's it, we need to go back because they are so scary.
We need to know what they are.
Maybe they can help us find the exit.
No, no, no.
You can't, you can't. You can't go back.
It's too scary.
No, no.
If you are scared, wait for me here. I'm going back by myself.
No, no, no. Wait for me.
The bones are picked clean.
If I'm guessing right, it must have been these ants that did this.
Have you seen this kind of ant before?
It must be the legendary army ants?
I've heard that no one can survive their bite.
That bad?
I think the Church of Gu's jiaozhu is the only one who knows how to overpower them.
I finally get why this place is called the forbidden grounds of the thunder god,
why people enter it alive but come out dead.
I guess our lives will end here.
Hey,
why are you crying?
What are you doing?
Promise me,
If we are targeted by the ants again, you'll kill me yourself.
You're crazy.
Please promise me.
I don't want to get eaten by them.
Even if I kill you, they will still eat you.
At least I won't have to watch them eat me one bite at a time.
OK, OK, OK.
I promise you.
If we are in danger, I'll cut your throat in one move.
I promise I won't let you live.
Ye Xiaotian.
I have to say, you've got some skills.
You were able to come up with this idea of sleeping amidst the water.
That way the ants can't get to us.
See,
even if the ants can go under water,
the current is so strong that they'll be washed away before they have the chance to bite us.
Hungry, aren't you?
You didn't eat the fish I gave you yesterday.
I...
Last night you almost scared me to death.
How could I eat?
Let's go find something to eat.
The jiaozhu's token?
Let's go!
4th elder.
4th elder,
why did this person have the jiaozhu's personal token?
The Jiaozhu's final hour is upon us.
This person may have been sent by the jiaozhu.
This would mean that the jiaozhu told him to hand the token to his designated successor?
That's right.
It's a pity he is already dead.
I'd really like to know who that old fool chose as his successor.
4th elder.
The jiaozhu will pass away soon.
Now the token has fallen into your hand. This is the will of heaven.
How's the situation at the shrine?
4th elder, the shrine is cut off from the outside world.
No one can enter.
Everyone is waiting outside the shrine for news.
The jiaozhu hasn't given his order, yet?
No. The jiaozhu set up a poisonous trap using the Millenary Kill.
No one can get in and no one can come out.
But the token the jiaozhu left is the key to breaking through the Millenary Kill.
Elder,
you can use this token to enter the shrine and kill the jiaozhu.
By then, no one will be able to stop you from ascending the throne.
Very true.
With this token, I will be able to get into the shrine
and kill the jiaozhu.
Once I've obtained the jiaozhu's legacy, I will become his successor.
4th elder,
hand me the token.
Yang Yinglong.
This is an internal affair of our Church of Gu.
You are an outsider.
As a chieftain,
you have abundant glory and wealth,
don't come tread in our muddy waters.
After I kill you,
the Church of Gu will be mine.
How am I an outsider?
Kill him!
Kill them!
My king.
We didn't find the 4th elder's body.
He has the token.
He must not enter the shrine.
Gather all of our men.
We're attacking the shrine.
Yes, sir.
Chief Ge,
things aren't looking good.
The 3rd elder is colluding with Yang Yinglong to seize the jiaozhu's position.
It's not that simple!
Even if they kill all of us,
they won't be able to break through the Millenary Kill.
Oh the power.
They are blinded by their desire for power.
Jiaozhu,
they...
A'Bao, what is it you want to say?
Jiaozhu.
I don't understand.
If you chose the 4th elder to be your successor,
why aren't you telling everyone so?
You need only say it,
and the slaughter will come to an end.
Who told you
that he is the successor I've chosen?
Isn't he?
Of course he isn't.
The 4th elder acts loyal but is in truth a traitor.
He has long since coveted the throne.
Needless to say, so has the 3rd elder.
He is consumed by his wild ambitions.
Neither of them is your chosen successor?
Of course not.
Kill him!
Only after every one of those ambitious dissidents have died,
will I announce to the 9 caves and 81 villages
who
my successor is.
If neither of them is your chosen successor,
then why did you give them the only key?
Silly child.
If I don't give them the real key,
they wouldn't be this determined to fight to the death.
Actually,
I wanted to use them so they kill each other.
Then I'll leave my throne to my own man.
If I can't have it,
none of you can have it!
This...
Can this be glued together again?
Can this be repaired?
You bastard!
A'Bao, do you know?
Their desire for the jiaozhu's position has consumed their minds.
It's good they died.
Every one of them deserved to die.
I have good news for you.
A'Bao...
You are a knife of mine.
Not used easily.
But once it leaves its holder, it will shake the world.
You...
You... You...
You deserve to die.
You deserve death more than any of them!
Why?
Because
I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place,
tending to the plants and flowers until the day I die!
I don't want to...
I don't want to stay with a
heartless old bastard like you!
I...
am...
I...
am...
You treated me well,
you took me away from that poor and backward place.
You taught me to read and write.
There aren't many in these 9 caves and 81 villages who can read and write.
But do you know?
After I learned how to read, I realized
that there are so many beautiful things in this world!
But I can't get out.
It's painful!
Yang Yinglong promised me that if I agree to help him,
after the new jiaozhu ascended the throne,
he'll give me a large sum of money
and then
he'll send me out of this deep mountain and take me to the world full of splendor and glory.
Do you know?
The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.
The evils we bring on ourselves
are the hardest to bear.
A'Bao.
Listen to me.
Old fool!
You are still trying to manipulate me?
Dream on!
Old fool!
You think you can escape?
You are dead!
A'Bao.
Do you know
that my chosen successor
is you?
You are my own son.
Greetings, jiaozhu.
Son.
For your safety,
for you to successfully inherit the jiaozhu's position,
I must keep our real relationship a secret from you.
I hope that you can forgive a father's
great endeavors.
Old fool!
Don't try to manipulate me!
Go to hell!
Because of my one-sided ideas
I caused so much pain
to us father and son.
This is truly...
This is truly the way of heaven's will.
This is karma.
There probably...
there probably
really is a God of Gu in heaven.
Because of our greed
he is punishing us.
Let's eat.
It's delicious! It's delicious!
You are like a monkey.
Where are you going?
I want to go, too.
To the latrine.
What's the matter?
There are ants!
Run!
Come, run!
Run faster!
The ants are coming!
What do we do?
It's a dead end.
What do we do?
Jump onto this vine.
My leg is injured. I can't jump onto it.
You have to!
Hurry and jump!
Kill me. I don't want to get eaten by the ants!
Kill me!
You are so troublesome!
Frigging ants!
How dare you bite your master?
Ye Xiaotian.
W-What are they doing?
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer!
Ye Xiaotian!
Are you all right?
Ye Xiaotian. What's the matter?
I... I got bitten.
Hang on tight!
I'll lure them away.
Otherwise,
we'll both die.
This way,
maybe one of us can still live!
You... you go live!
No! Ye Xiaotian!
Ye Xiaotian!
