I’ve got something important to tell you.
Go over there.
He must clear me up today.
Immortal, is my nephew really alive?
Just like I said, yes.
Brother.
Immortal, where is my son?
He wore a gold lock around his neck,
with a map of kylin on the front
and characters Tianhua on the back.
Right?
- Yeah. - Exactly.
Yeah. My son Tianhua.
That’s my son Tianhua.
Where is he?
Tell me who kidnapped him.
Why didn’t he come back to me?
What I can tell you is that
you don’t need to go for him. Shortly afterwards,
you will meet him.
Awesome.
When can I meet my son?
When you’re in the most dangerous moment,
you son will turn up to help you.
Please stay calm.
It’s decided by the heaven.
This is fate
you and your son share.
Immortal.
You two.
Please stop following me.
I’ve got things to do.
Great.
Go kill Jiang Ziya.
Cut his head right now.
And throw it to the party.
I must ask the queen
to see the way
Jiang Ziya died with everlasting regret.
Listen to me.
Do like I said!
Kill Jiangziya
before the queen takes action.
What do you want?
Do you know
what you look like now?
I don’t care.
How dared she threaten me
with dead people of Jizhou!
I must
strike her hard.
Whatever you want to do
or turn into,
not today.
Do not go to the party.
I don’t care what way you use.
You must avoid the party today.
What am I afraid of?
I’ll die, for the worse.
I’ll see
how she can let me die a horrible death
like my fathers
and people in Jizhou did.
Daji.
Yang Jian is here.
How nicely they are dancing!
Yeah.
Sorry.
Your Grace.
Don’t you dare!
Don’t you know who she is!
Get out of the way!
Master.
Bro. Yang Jian.
I know.
Go get Yang Jian.
What? You said you knew?
Go get Yang Jian.
I warned you.
I could kill you!
You violated our agreement.
I’m killing you right now.
What did you say?
I said nothing.
Have more for fun!
Okay.
Great, huh?
This is the tribute
they paid.
I just received them.
You make sense.
I think so, too.
Look what you’ve done!
Tell me.
Why did you steal my Thunder Spell
and give it to Jiang Ziya?
Don’t get angry, Master.
Junior Brother Ziya has little magic arts.
I’m afraid
he may get bullied by demons in the secular world
to humiliate you
and our sect.
That’s why I…
Bullshit.
Everyone has his fate.
Ziya has little magic arts.
But he has good luck.
He’ll be okay if he doesn’t show off.
But you meddled in
and gave him a spell,
to get him proud
and act rashly.
More accidents happened out of that.
Instead of hunting demons,
I’m absent-minded
for looking for Daji.
Why is Daji here?
Daji.
Da… Daji.
Da…
I got you.
Where do you think you can go?
Apply the heated rosin
on the long cloth
and wrap the goose tightly with it.
In half an hour,
pour the wine into the goose’s belly.
Then all its strength
will go down to its feet.
In a few moments,
the goose feet will be well roasted.
Now,
the goose feet
have almost been doubled.
With the sizzling sound,
they’ll taste fabulous.
Uncle.
No offend,
but I’ve got something to ask.
The goose has no sagacity.
We can cook it directly.
Isn’t it too cruel
when we torture it?
Everything in the world
makes distinctions of rank.
A wolf eats lamb and a lamb eats grass.
Humans eat grains and animals.
It’s the most
natural thing.
Animals has no sagacity.
They know nothing, but bite.
Humans are the essence of everything.
It’s understandable when we want the finest food.
What do you
mean by cruel?
Not cruel?
Nature?
Uncle,
what if
we put humans on that?
Yeah.
That’ll be cruel.
Yeah, too cruel.
Put humans on that?
Why do you say so, Daji?
Your Majesty.
I’m talking about guilty persons of course.
Those who deserve to be killed.
Master.
Today, nobilities get together.
We rarely have the chance
to taste the dishes Uncle made.
Why did you say something
so frightening and cruel?
Consort Su, mind your words.
It’s okay.
Honey, go on.
If we put guilty persons on that,
they don’t die quickly.
How cruel it is!
What’s the benefit
to use such cruel punishment?
Your Majesty.
Once you ask people to watch it,
it’s cruel enough
to awe those who have unkind thoughts.
Who dares to go against your rules gain?
Everyone will become
docile and obedient to you.
No one will commit crimes again.
The burning torture
will be a decoration only.
Awesome!
It’s wise of you.
Uncle.
That is a great idea.
Please take care
and supervise on it.
That’s too cruel.
Sorry I can’t take the job.
Seriously, Uncle?
What have I said wrong?
Those who despise laws
are even worse than the animals.
Didn’t you say
it was natural to torture animals?
Why are you talking about mercy now?
With what crime
should one be punished like this?
The reason doesn’t matter.
As long as he interferes with national affairs
or tries to gang up for selfish interests,
he deserves the death.
And those
who pretend to be loyal,
doubt the decisions of His Majesty,
and bewitch him conduct more crimes.
Also,
those who dare to deceive His Majesty
and try to hurt others
have capital crimes, too.
You!
But…
those who conclude with witches
for illegal activities
should feel doubly guilty.
What…
What’s wrong?
Why do you look so serious?
I didn’t know
who I should look at.
So I just looked around
for a glance.
You look so serious.
Should I
close my eyes?
Your Majesty,
what should I do now?
Honey.
Look carefully at them
and see who feels uneasy
He must be having a guilty conscience.
Really?
Who’s there?
Come out!
Your Majesty.
This is the second apprentice
of the immortal.
Why is he hiding
instead of showing up?
You don’t talk?
Your Majesty.
May I answer for him?
My apprentice
is silly and a little weird.
But he has great power in
the cultivation of immorality.
Sometimes,
he just
acts rashly.
But I can assure you that
he has no evil thought.
Oh,
his nick name is Dumb Boy,
just becuase he’s a little dumb.
Dumb?
Dumb boy?
Your Majesty.
This is the town talk,
describing some
stupid and weird guys
as dumb.
Your Majesty.
Look!
He really is dumb.
Yes, he is.
He’s very dumb!
Nice name.
Nice name. Sounds interesting.
Okay.
Since you’re the apprentice,
you must have some magic arts, too.
Not as skilled as Master.
But I can read fortune as well.
Nonsense!
Dumb boy!
Come to me. Be good.
I heard what Consort Su said
behind the curtains.
I don’t have many magic arts,
but I can still see
the fate of Consort Su.
Well, what is her fate?
May I
have a look at her face?
Your Majesty,
as the apprentice of Immortal Jiang,
he must be powerful.
Please approve of it.
Okay.
As the concubine of His Majesty,
Consort Su shares great wealth.
But what she really wants…
This is my fate.
Are you resigning to your fate
or following your own heart?
Being loved by His Majesty
is what all girls
could wish for.
What other wishes could I have?
I want nothing, but to serve His Majesty all my life.
Tell me what a fate Consort shares.
Sorry, Your Majesty.
I’ve no idea
of her fate.
Fine then. What about you, Immortal?
Everyone has his fate and luck.
The fate is destined, but the luck is his own.
Fate can never be changed, but luck can.
Consort Su lives with 30% of fate and 70% of luck.
I rarely see it in my wife.
Explain to me.
It’s also my first time To 326
to see such a fate.
So, I fail to explain it in detail.
But…
I can give her
four words.
True heart. Let go.
What does it mean?
Keep your true heart
from being disturbed. Let go of distracting thoughts.
You’ll get nothing to lose when you want nothing.
Your Majesty.
What a boring party!
I want some songs.
Oh, you feel bored?
Bring the musicians.
Yang Jian…
is alive.
Help me.
Help…
Help me.
I lied to you.
It’s my fault.
Immortal.
What have you got?
Did you smell the demon on Consort Su?
I still need more observation.
Please hurry.
The party
is ending soon.
How about this?
I’ll ask her
to dance.
When she’s on the stage,
you can
observe her more carefully.
I think
this is the best chance.
Yes, Your Grace.
Thank you.
Can’t you hold up
when you see Yang Jian?
Where is your anger
and the cruel idea to revenge?
Just because he turned up,
things became
complicated, huh?
He’s not dead.
He’s still alive.
Shouldn’t you kill him
when you meet him?
You didn’t.
Because he’s the apprentice of Jiang Ziya,
You didn’t kill him.
I will.
I’m just waiting for a chance.
Let’s go.
You’re still going back?
The queen is waiting for me.
His Majesty will ask for me, too.
I’ve got a lot of things to do.
But Yang Jian is also there.
Yang Jian?
Your brother.
I don’t have a brother.
My brother is dead.
So am…
I. II.
I’m all alone now.
Daji.
Is this what you want?
I want him to die.
I want the King of Shang die!
In the most painful way!
Come on. Cheers.
Come on. Enjoy it.
Oh, my queen.
Is there any dance to add to the fun?
Consort Su.
I hear you’re good at singing and dancing.
I haven’t prepared
any song or dance.
Why don’t you help me out?
Okay.
What do you want me to do?
I hear His Majesty loves
your Peach Dance most.
Other consorts and I
failed to enjoy it.
Why don’t you show us today?
As you wish,
I’ll bring you the Peach Dance.
Awesome.
This is
a rare dance.
Do not get bewitched, guys?
She’s my girl!
Your Grace.
Your Grace, I…
Yang Jian.
Bro. Yang Jian
has never forgotten you.
He has been missing you.
Besides,
he always stares
at the butterfly handkerchief.
Your Grace.
Sis. Daji…
If you don’t want to get killed,
get out of the palace
with your master.
Why don’t you stop?
You don’t need to do this.
I’m here for you.
Daji.
You! How are you!
Somebody!
Cut his hands,
strip him off,
flog him eighty times,
cut off his head
and hang it above the palace gate.
Your Majesty.
Shut up.
Whoever dares to
go against me
will be killed.
I brought him here.
I should be responsible.
Father, please take back your order
and punish me.
Do you know what you’re talking about?
How dare you order me as my son!
You’re plotting for my throne.
Your Majesty.
Whose order are you taking?
Son!
Kneel.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, he is jut too young.
He didn’t mean that, Your Majesty.
Fuck off!
Stop!
What are you looking at? Don’t you recognize me?
Are you talking to me?
I don’t care if you’re the king.
I only recognize the old florist.
Look carefully.
You gave this to me, didn’t you?
You promised me that
all would listen to me
as long as I took this out,
didn’t you?
You can’t be boosting, can you?
Fine.
Tell me what you want.
My senior brother is innocent.
Please let go of him.
And…
please forgive the crown prince.
Are you finished?
Stand down.
The crown prince
shall kneel beside him.
and be flogged eighty times as well.
You must flog him hard
even if he’s the crown prince.
Your Majesty, there’s a demon!
Demon?
Your Majesty, think about it.
Jiao’er has been highly cultured.
Why is he doing this today?
He must…
must have been bewitched by demon.
Your Majesty.
Her Grace makes some sense.
His Highness used to be decent.
This is very odd today.
Demon must be behind this.
Please kindly check it out.
Your Majesty.
Don’t think
this is absurd.
It’s true.
Even Immortal Jiang said
there was demon in this place.
The demon is right here.
I mean it.
- Your Majesty. - Tell me.
Where is the demon?
There is a demon.
Where?
Here. Consort Su.
She’s the demon.
You said she was the demon?
Consort Su is the demon?
You still mean to hurt Daji.
I won’t let your wish come true.
Honey.
Somebody. Take her back to her palace immediately.
Ask the imperial doctor to Shouxian Palace right away.
Move! Move!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Come on. be careful!
Brother.
Don’t.
Your Majesty, the immortal is right.
There is a demon.
Master.
Ziya must be catching up
and expecting to catch the fox demon
with the Thunder Spell.
He will catch Zixu.
The fox demon has been cultivating himself for ten thousand years.
How will he be easily killed
by a mere spell?
Don’t think you managed to hit me
because I couldn’t defeat you.
I’ve been tolerating.
Then please do it more.
I have something to beg you.
Let go of Consort Su. l550
Leave Yang Jian’s sister.
With the strength of the world, thunder will be my power.
