The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac
Episode 20
Yellow Emperor, kid. Come out for daddy.
If you have the guts to come face to face with my real weapons
stop making these cunning shcemes! Come out! come out!
You vulgar man. Don't tell me you have never heard "All's fair in war"?
Father wants to cut off your head, chop you into pieces.
Then we'll see how you deceive me.
Yellow Emperor, my son. Have the guts to come and fight your father.
Come down and fight me.
Army attack!
Go back. I order you back.
Whoever dares to retreat, I'll take them down.
-Go back to your posts. -Great King, the situation is dire.
If we keep going like this, the entire army will be overthrown. It would be better to escape at this time.
Great King, Evacute now, Great King.
Catch the evil traitor who is Chi You and I will grant a large reward.
My Lord, let Chi You flee. He is indeed failing for lack of final effort. [TN - Idiom: Failing to build a mound by one basket of dirt.]
Keep watch until the clouds part. Only then can you see the sunrise.
Men one and all,
in this war we have already had a great victory.
Tonight, we celebrate our outstanding military achievement.
Good!
Are you okay? Here.
I'll help you up.
What happened?
The Jade Plate and the Yaksha have godly powers that can carry us back and forth between worlds,
to search for the incarnations of the Zodiacs.
Zodiacs?
You will find out later.
Sister Xue Lian, look! Three-eyed man.
Mi Junfei, take care of them.
Don't run! Where are you escaping to?
What are you worried about?
If Xing Hu catches that three-eyed demon he's likely to come back by the same road.
For now we can keep walking slowly forwards. It would be good if we meet up with him.
Yes, I will obey the commands of the Great Master.
It appears that you need a beating.
No. I am just accustomed to humans having two eyes. I haven't seen
A person with three eyes.
I'm a little scared.
Perhaps it is not the doing of a demon.
I heard my Master once say that in the Nan Ming Sea, there are celestial beings that naturally have three eyes.
That's not impossible.
However, if it was a demon, he is too timid.
Stop!
I have no grudge against you. Why must you chase me like this?
-Stop. If you stop, I will tell you. -You appear ill tempered.
I do not dare stop.
Xue Lian sister, look over there.
- Look. So high! - Yes.
I pay my respects to the Great Adviser.
You guys... Where's Ling Ji?
-Where is she? -Excellent. It's best if we lose her.
That way she isn't always pestering Xiao Hu brother. Right, Xue Lian sister?
You, don't speak nonsense.
Right. Only say this in private.
If Xing Hu were to hear you, he will be upset.
I'm just joking around.
It's very funny. Wait here for me. I'm going to take a look around.
Ling Ji. Do you know why I've come to see you?
Please forgive me.
What wrong have you committed?
I still have nothing to show for my efforts.
Quite the opposite. I'm here to remind you.
You are an important part of my plan.
Your main task is to infiltrate Xing Hu and his companions.
Don't be hasty and make mistakes.
As for the drowning of in the glazed glass river,
That was stupid and unnecessary.
It's fortunate that I was able to act convincingly,
Otherwise, you would have ruined my grand plan.
I don't know either.
I don't know why, but when I face Xue Lian,
I feel hatred in my heart and I am unable to control my emotions.
That is your issue.
From now on, you must remember to remain calm and not cause any trouble, as to alert them.
You especially cannot let Xing Hu discover you until the opportune time. Then you can act.
I have the time and patience to wait.
Ling Ji. Do not forget your task.
If your identity is discovered, I will show no mercy to you.
Don't forget. The fate of thousands of the cat tribe
is all in your hands.
As long as you complete your task, I will release your cat tribe.
-Yes. -Ling Ji! Ling Ji!
Don't chase me.
Don't run! Stop there!
Be careful of the three eyed demon. Get out of the way.
What is going on?
Xing Hu, did you catch it?
What's happening?
Follow me. When we reach you will know.
How do you do?
Greetings. -Greetings to you too.
Greetings.
There are so many three-eyed demons, how are we supposed to catch them all?
Greetings, greetings.
It was because I saw this so I stopped pursuing that three-eyed demon.
But after looking at them, although they have three eyes,
they are pretty much like normal people and they seem nice.
They are not displaying demonic properties, they seem very ordinary.
Xue Lian, are you okay? -Greetings...
Let's go forwards and see.
Alright let's go.
I don't even know them, why are they smiling at me?
Oh you... people are being polite!
Greetings to you!
Wait wait, Mister, your change.
Your change!
You always pick these fruits regardless of the weather,
it must not be easy, just accept my gratefulness and keep the money.
It is just a fruit, there is no way I can accept so much from you.
Just one coin is enough.
Just accept it please. -No, I cannot.
Credibility is more important.
I just need one coin! -Just accept the whole bag.
Just one coin!
So people do also get into arguments here.
Don't leave. -Just accept it.
The people here are strange.
Usually people will price things higher,
I've never seen someone want less money.
The strangest thing is that the seller refused to accept more money.
Excuse me, was this box dropped by you?
What's inside?
Such rich jewels. Don't even talk about losing them, we've never seen these before.
This box is not ours.
I picked up this box on the streets, it's been with me a few days.
I am still unable to find the owner.
Such an expensive item, the person who lost it must be extremely anxious.
I feel like it is my fault.
Have you not thought about just keeping it for yourself?
Little brother, such ignorant words should not be said, please take that back.
The foundation of humanity is that honesty prevails over all. How could I foster selfish greed instead?
Don't get so serious, I was kidding.
Right, he's just a little kid.
I would like to ask, just where is this place?
Why does everyone here have three eyes?
We are the Three-Eyed Kingdom. Everyone here has three eyes.
Our ancestors were a form of immortals.
They multiplied and established our kingdom. Our kingdom's people are different than ordinary mortals.
Two eyes see objects, one eye sees intentions. This is how in our three-eyed kingdom
no one ever breaks the law. We live through peace and harmony.
Then what if foreigners came to commit crimes?
Lotuses emerge unstained from the mud. This is our foundation. -T/N: Chinese idiom - To be naturally clean and perfect.
As long as we remain in our ways, we can certainly change those people.
May I ask, have you misplaced a box?
No.
May I ask, have you misplaced a box?
The minds of the people here are incomprehensible.
No one wants such an worthy treasure?
I'll just act on heaven's accord and take that box.
Wait. You're very small in stature, but your greed is immense.
How about we leave you here for ten or so years and see if you can become like them?
If you still want me alive, don't leave me here.
If I stay here for ten years or twenty years, I will surely ascend to the heavens in that time.
Also, we must remember our task.
We must find the zodiacs and my mother.
Who would have thought that you have so quickly turned into a considerate and good person?
But then again, this three eyed kingdom's citizens are upright and honest,
But foreigners may not be. They may be swindled quite often.
Why is there a crowd over there?
-Let's go take a look. -Very well.
Why are these people hurling shellfish coins at this woman?
My name is Liang Chen.
From a young age, I only had my father.
But who would have known that he contracted a fatal disease, and left me.
He left me all alone.
I heard that the citizens of Three-Eyed Kingdom are kind and charitable.
To pay my respects to my father, I have come here,
In hopes of selling myself to earn money to bury my father.
I also hope to find a good home.
That is why I am sitting in this raft.
If there is a kind person among you,
Who can hit me with a shellfish coin,
And is willing to bury my father,
Then I am willing to marry him.
And spend the rest of my life with him.
This woman is very pious.
Xiao Hu brother, let us provide the money for her father's burial.
I don't think we should. This woman is not from the Three-Eyed Kingdom.
Who knows, she could be a swindler.
But look at the money sinking in the water,
What money could she gather?
This time, Ling Ji appears to have guessed correctly.
Very well. Let me expose her scheme.
Xing Hu, watch closely.
Why is she sitting over there?
She's over there. What's happening?
It hurts. Who hit me?
Miss. It appears to be fate. I am the one with hit you.
What should I do? You are beautiful.
However, I cannot marry you.
So it appears to be an illusion.
Enough, enough. Everyone, take your coins back.
Look.
My coins, my coins.
Do you not have any remorse?
Fine. We'll see.
I will surely come back and take revenge on you.
Hurry. Take back the money that you've been swindled into giving.
The money was for that Lady Liang Chen.
How could be take it back?
Do you not understand? She's a swindler.
She didn't have a dead father, nor was she going to marry you in exchange for her father's burial.
If she truly didn't have any hardships, why was she crying so miserably?
True. Even if she wasn't crying for a dead father,
She must have had other miseries.
It's all your fault. You chased her away.
If she can't get through this hardship and ends her life, then what good came from this?
True. It's all your fault.
It's all your fault.
Enough, enough. I will set this here.
Fine, fine. I think these Three-Eyed citizens,
Are very pedantic. We cannot talk sense into them.
We still have more pressing matter to attend to.
I have left the coins here. Everyone discuss this issue among yourselves. Goodbye.
Let's leave.
Wow.
This is not an effective way to search.
Before a Zodiac shows their true form, they are all in human form.
Well, if we don't search, are they going to fall from the heavens?
Your mouth is too efficacious. Someone really did fall from the heavens.
Hurry and see what's wrong.
Are you alright?
Resist the pain. Slowly.
Does it hurt here? Let me look at it for you.
He dislocated his arm.
You have a lot of nerve. You dare to commit a crime in the Three-Eyed Kingdom?
Xing Hu. Are you alright?
I'm fine.
It's all a misunderstanding. This young man was helping me fix the roof,
And he fell. These people were helping him.
Now I understand.
I was helping this man align his arm, but you thought
That I was hurting him.
I apologize. My name is Ping An. I have lived in Three-Eyed Kingdom for many years.
I thought you were hurting someone, so I acted rashly.
I have offended you. Please forgive me.
It's no matter. You had good intentions. There's no need to blame yourself.
Here is the Luo House. Please enter.
Xing Hu, are you hungry?
Are you hungry? Come, let's go to my house.
-I'll make something for everyone. -Excellent, let's go.
-Xue Lian sister. You can't go. -What are you doing?
I have something to say to you. Let's go.
What are you doing?
I have something to say to Xue Lian sister. Leave.
Hurry.
Let's go.
Please, this way.
Ping An. Something has happened. Go help.
Very well. You accompany them.
Very well.
Everyone, please enter the house and rest. I'll be back soon.
Very well.
This place is not bad.
Where is Xue Lian?
No idea. No idea where the little kid dragged her off to.
Brother Xing Hu, I'm a little scared.
Can you stay with me?
Can you?
I'm worried. I shall go look for them.
Brother Mi, take care!
Come! -I really can't move so quickly, just what do you want?
I can tell your heart hurts so I want to help!
Why would my heart be hurting?
What else could it be? Of course it is Brother Xiao Hu and Ling Ji that is troubling you.
I am an adult and I have no idea what to do. What does a child like you know?
I'm not poking my nose in, I'm trying to help!
Let me tell you, I am Little Fish!
I am not an ordinary child!
I say, Sister Xue Lian, do you know what you should do?
If you want to capture a man, you must capture his stomach!
But... I don't know how to cook.
I can teach you! Let's go!
Why did you suddenly sigh?
If there's anything on your mind, just speak.
I will not judge you.
Ling Ji.
Tell me, the things they told me, is it true?
What did they say?
The words that led me to become confused.
I think you know what I'm referring to.
Then do you believe them?
Seems like you don't believe me.
It is not that I don't believe you,
like I said,
what they said have made me confused.
It is as if you always believe the world you see in front of you is as it seems to be.
But one day they tell you that this world
is not at all as you see it.
You know what I mean?
If you don't believe anything in front of your eyes...
then what will you believe anymore?
Ling Ji is exactly how you see her.
She won't change for anything.
Trust me.
Okay?
Maybe I was mistaken.
But, their actions are still unacceptable.
I hope that you won't blame them.
They're all really good people.
Get to know them better...
and maybe things will get better.
Life is too short. Just being yourself is enough.
If they could think like you do,
That would be wonderful.
Hello Madam, I would like to use some of your vegetables, as well as teach my sister how to cook.
Very well. Come with me.
Careful. Move slowly.
Let's go.
Stop running. Stop.
Stop.
-Return this object back to its original owner. -Yes.
Tie him up.
-Get up. Get up. -Let go of me.
Follow our customs. Strike him three times and banish him from the kingdom.
Yes. Excellent. If it wasn't for you, we would have no idea how to handle this situation.
You are truly our guardian god.
Don't say that. I have lived here for a long time.
I consider myself a citizen of this kingdom.
This is a small matter. There is no need to thank me.
I still have friends waiting for me. I take my leave.
Open your eyes, pay attention.
Do you know what I'm holding in my hand? Do you?
-We don't know. -Look.
-You really don't know? -We don't know.
Look at you. None of you know anything.
Let me tell you what this is. It's the most efficacious Daoist talisman in all the world.
If you possess this item,
You will be able to absorb the spiritual auras of the world and receive the protection of the heavens.
This will protect your body and ensure that you are always healthy.
This is truly the best present to gift to your friends and family.
Is it really that magical?
You can be weary of any item,
But you cannot be weary of this heavenly talisman.
Do you know how hard it was for me to come into possession of this?
This talisman looks as if it is constructed with wood,
But it's not an ordinary type of wood.
This wood is from the treasured Knowledgeable Tree in the heavenly palace.
Then I took it to the underworld and submerged it in their wells for three days and three nights.
Everyone here is too fortunate.
If it wasn't for the fact that I need money to bury my father,
I could not bear to sell this.
How about this? I am only requesting ten coins. Ten coins is enough.
How about this? You can trade your most precious possession for this.
I want it. I want it.
Congratulations. You are the first person to receive this talisman.
I want it too.
-I want it too. -Don't worry. I have more here.
One by one. Form a line.
Didn't you say that you only got one piece of wood from the heavenly palace?
I went back again.
Don't you all understand? She's a liar.
What heavenly talisman? She probably just carved the wood from a tree in the forest and drew nonsense on it.
She's swindling your money. You still believe her?
You liar. Come back.
Stop. Stop.
Return our coins.
Stop. Stop running.
Return our coins. Stop running.
Stop running.

Hello. Have you seen a woman and a child?
No.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
I really don't know where Xue Lian could have gone.
What if Ling Ji doesn't have any secrets?
What if she's only a normal girl?
Then that would be wonderful. She's very pretty too.
If Xing Hu and her were to be together,
Then I would lose a rival in love.
Then I would be able to successfully win over Xue Lian.
That would be perfect.
Life.
Aging.
The fleeting clouds are pensive, the white clouds are ashen grey like dogs.
I am gleaming with tears. -T/N: Double meaning: Chinese onomatopoeia - can also mimic the sound of a dog bark.
Xue Lian sister, hurry.
Xue Lian sister, what is the matter?
I'm feeling a little nervous.
Why are you nervous? It's not the first time you're meeting Xiao Hu brother.
I can see the scene now. Just serve him the soup,
And after he drinks it, he will compliment you on its wonderful taste.
He will not pay attention to Ling Ji after that.
He will say, Xue Lian, make this wonderful soup for me every day, alright?
You. You are too sweet.
Let's go, Xue Lian sister.
Xiao Hu brother.
Xiao Hu brother, let me cool this for you.
No need. I can do it myself.
-Xue Lian, you've come back? -Yes.
Excellent. I've made some beef soup.
Would you like to try it?
I heard something about beef soup.
Xue Lian, you made the soup yourself? What a treat.
-Let me try it.
-Xue Lian, you made soup? -Give it back to me.
Don't be greedy. Let me try it.
Mi Junfei, stop it.
Xue Lian sister made that specially for Xiao Hu brother.
It's no matter Xue Lian. I've already drank the soup Ling Ji made.
Just give that one to Mi Jun Fei.
It would've been better if you gave it to me in the first place.
Now it's gone to waste. You made the soup for nothing.
Xue Lian sister!
You only like to drink soup, and now look what happened. Xue Lian left!
Probably got angry!
Xiao Hu! Go after her!
Xue Lian!
Xue Lian. Xue Lian!
Xue Lian.
Don't cry. It's only a bowl of soup.
To you it's only a bowl of spilled soup.
But do you know what this means to me?
Where are you going, Xue Lian?
It's all your fault. If it wasn't for you,
Then Xue Lian sister wouldn't have run away.
Xing Hu, did I do something wrong?
You only looked like Yan'er sister, the woman Xing Hu used to like.
Otherwise, Xiao Hu brother wouldn't treat you so well.
-Xiao Yu'er, stop talking. -I won't.
Little fish be good. Go look after Xue Lian sister.
Master Ping An, master Ping An! Something bad happened!
Master Ping An isn't here. Tell me instead what happened.
But...
Don't "but" me. Whatever Ping An can do, I can too. Let's go!
Okay.
Stop! Stop running!
-Stop! -Give us back the treasure!
Give us back the treasure!
Stop running!
Stop right now!
My God...
I can't keep going anymore.
- These three eyed country people, how can they be so persistent? Isn't it just a few coins? - Give us back the coins!
I'll give it back when the time comes!
Why do they run so far?
What is it lady? Are you ok?
Brother, lend me your body for a moment.
Quick, quick!
- Faster, faster! - Chase quickly.
Stop!
Men and women should have no direct contact. Cuddling like this does not seem appropriate.
Yeah, yeah. Stop moving please.
Don't let her get away!
Thanks!
Hey, lady.
I know, I know.
-Here! My thanks. -Oh, no no no.
What? This is too little? Hey, aren't you a little greedy?
I only used you as a shelter!
No, I don't want your money.
I just want to know what's going on.
I'm a treasure hunter.
I roam all over the country, looking for the precious mirror treasure.
But I just ran into some evil people.
So I needed you as a shelter.
Evil people?
But don't you worry, they're already gone.
But then again,
you look like someone from a poor village with no valuables.
Hence I shall take my leave now!
Miss! I do have two treasures with me.
Really? -Really!
Tell me what you have.
The first one is called the blade of rolling clouds.
Referring to the recluse quietly watching the clouds' rolling and stretching in the skies.
That is Tibet's General Yuan Ye!
Tell me the next one! I hate hearing about weapons.
Just how much is one stupid knife worth?
Well... the next one is the Blood Jade Nectar.
Blood Jade nectar?
This one seems good. Tell me more.
Well this is a celestial item from my ancestors.
It has been passed down from many generations, and now it is in my hands.
Legend says that my ancestor picked a branch of the thousand year old blood jade and the ten thousand year old peach,
and combined them with the celestial dew of a hundred flowers to create the Blood Jade Nectar.
He also transferred his spiritual energy into it.
My ancestor has passed this down:
"If met with a fated person, this Blood Jade Nectar will then become a Blood Jade Coin,
and give him unlimited spiritual energy."
You exaggerate a lot more than me when you talk.
Exaggerate?
Oh never mind. I was just thinking,
such a wondrous treasure, you must have hid it really well.
Of course. I do not dare let my ancestors down.
I hid it in the little forest behind my house.
Little forest?
There are so many trees. What if you forget which tree you hid it under?
There is no way I can forget. I have a way to remember it:
In front of the big green stone, it stands facing the sun
Go forwards a hundred steps, go right a hundred steps.
Beneath the camphor tree, the treasure faces you.
What an idiot. He really just said it out.
Seems like I can earn big this time!
Miss, what are you thinking?
Oh nothing, nothing.
Your treasure sounds good. Really good.
I have other things to look for, so I shall take my leave now!
Miss, I still do not know your name!
I'm called Liang Chen! What's your name, where do you live?
My name is Ping An. I live on the East Mountain.
Ping Ping An An. Alright.
Then I hope you will be 'ping ping an an'! (t/n safe and sound)
We finally got you. Tie him up!
Don't move!
It's all here! Thank you kind sirs.
- It's ok, do your regular routine. -Ok - let's take him back
- Move! move! Quickly
I should go back now. Or maybe I shouldn't.
Xue Lian, when would you notice

Drink it all!
So it seems we are all of the same path.
We both like to drink.
I'm happy that I got to know you, Little Grass.
Both of us have no girls that like us.

I ran out of wine.
