Excuse me, please let me through.
Sir, what happened here?
You're Mister Xu?
Will you please tell your sister not to worry.
There's been a homicide at Drunken Immortal Inn. Constable Li is investigating the case.
Has the culprit been discovered?
Constable Li thinks that the culprit is still inside, so he has sealed off Drunken Immortal Inn.
No one can leave until the murderer is identified
Just that... only innocent people
They naturally wouldn't want to wait here.
Exactly! They're already making a ruckus inside.
I'm afraid that he'll incur some trouble.
If it's about an aggrieved ghost demanding lives,
then I have an idea.
Sir, please come closer.
Big brother,...
Who was that?
Good! Everyone!
Everyone, please rest assured. As long as you cooperate with me,
I will find the culprit quickly.
-What are they doing? --Why are they moving Lord Guan (General Guan Yu from Late Han Dynasty revered as a saint)
Sir, what in the world are you trying to do?
You can't be thinking of having Lord Guan solve this case, are you?
Wow, you really guessed correctly!
What kind of a joke is this?
Lord Guan is loyal and righteous.
We had just asked Lord Guan to place a spell on this incense burner.
The real culprit only has to place their hand inside,
and the hand will immediately turn black. How about trying it?
Place your hand in the middle of the incense burner.
-So can we leave as soon as we tried it? -Of course.
I'll go first.
Please.
How about it, everyone? Give it a try.
Miss HeXin, you're in a rush to leave, right? Go on, please.
Sir.
Everyone saw it already. It didn't turn black. We can leave now, right?
Someone come! Arrest her!
-Yes! -Hey, what are they doing? Exactly!
Wait, hold on! Why are you guys acting recklessly?
Miss HeXin's hand didn't turn black. You want to crack the case
but, you shouldn't accuse innocent people falsely.
Is she really innocent?
Your hand is too clean.
What's wrong with being too clean?
Too clean is even more problematic,
Using the incense burner as proof is merely a way to sound things out.
As they say, a guilty heart is fearful. If their conscience is clear,
they naturally won't hesitate to put their hand in the incense burner.
But if they're the culprit, of course they'll be afraid of being found out, so they won't dare to put their hand inside.
Therefore, someone with a clean hand
is very possibly the culprit.
Sir! Sir! I've been wrongly accused!
Come. Make way. Make way.
Sir Magistrate, why are you here?
-Have you found the culprit? -Yes, sir.
Sir Magistrate, I've been wrongly accused. Please, can you speak on my behalf.
The culprit that you mentioned is this delicate and pretty girl?
Li GongFu, jeez Li Gongfu,
Even if you can't find the real culprit,
you can't just accuse an good person!
Release her!Ev
Magistrate.
It's that Li GongFu again. Each time, if it wasn't for his obsession for solving cases,
my father would have promoted me already.
My Lord, I've been locked up here for over two hours already.
It's one thing to take advantage of me,
but the guests at the Durnken God Inn are all important people.
If people were to suspect that QianTang County trials are uncivilized,
Then your reputation...
will be destroyed by people working under you.
My Lord, please be wise. This woman
did not pass the incense burner test that I set up.
She is very suspicious, My Lord.
I've long heard about your tricks.
Look at her hands, such delicious skin.
Do they look like a pair of murderous hands?
My Lord, please be wise. I...
Are you done yet?
Miss Kexin, don't be afraid. I'm here.
No one can falsely blame you.
I will take you back to Jun Xin Brothel right now.
My Lord, she...
Please.
For this medicine, boil three bowls into one.
Then take it after the meal.
- Alright. I'll remember. Thank you. - You're welcome.
Ruyi, let me do the work here. You should rest.
You are so busy yourself, why be courteous with me?
After all, I am the Elder Miss of Ji Shi Pharmacy.
I am just as good as those women who claim they know some medicine.
Alright. Then please ask me whenever you run into something you don't know.
What do I know? Don't worry.
Physician Xu, Physician Xu! My mom's illness is worse. She can't get off the bed today.
- That shouldn't be. Did you use my prescription to get the medicine? - Yes.
She has been taking your prescribed medicine for the last two days.
But she's even started to have stomach cramps after taking the medicine.
Physician Xu, is it possible that there's something wrong with your medicine?
Nonsense. How could Ji Shi Pharmacy's medicine have any problems?
If you have any doubts, then don't come here.
I don't doubt Physician Xu,
- but... - Young man, is that the leftover medicinal brew?
Let me see it.
It's alright. Your mother has some bloating in the stomach.
She just need some medicine to pass the air. Remember,
she needs to have some porridge before taking the medicine to coat the stomach.
- Thank you, Physician Xu. - You're welcome.
Clerk.
Please wait just a while.
Ruyi, come with me this way.
These patients are so unreasonable. They don't take the medicine following the rules,
but they actually say our medicine has problems.
Ruyi, how about you go back to reset. We can handle the rest here.
I'm not tired.
Come.
That patient didn't make a mistake in taking the medicine.
You actually gave him the wrong medicine.
The prescription I gave asked for black dates. They are marinated dates.
But you used wild dates in the medicine you put together.
That's why she had stomach cramps after taking the medicine on an empty stomach.
How would I have know which black dates to use? You didn't specify it in your prescription.
Before putting the prescription together, a clerk will review the list of ingredients first.
That patient has a weak digestive system.
So my prescription is full of ingredients that will strengthen her intestines and warm her stomach.
Ruyi, it's a matter of life and death.
You cannot treat it like a game.
How was I playing at all? I meant well to help you, but you actually blame me.
You didn't use to treat me like this.
Ruyi, I'll let you be on anything else.
But this is a medical facility, you cannot be careless.
Alright, you go home first. I'll buy some good snacks for you after I finish here.
Forget it. I'm not a three-year-old. You always coax me with this kind of talk.
I don't understand it. Why can Bai Suzhen treat patients and save lives,
but I can't.
Let me ask you. Are you telling me to leave because of that Bai Suzhen?
Why do you always mention Miss Bai?
Why involve others?
You... You still defend her.
That woman comes from questionable origin.
You let her come in so easily. It took me a great effort to get rid of her clinging.
You still look obsessed.
What do you mean by getting rid of her clinging. Why did you say to her?
What else can I say?
Just told her about our relationship, so that she wouldn't covet what doesn't belong to her.
Our relationship? What did you tell her?
Just telling her the truth.
I know your inner thoughts.
Even though my father is a little selfish and strict,
but we grew up together since childhood.
We have deep feelings. Besides...
Where are you going?
I am busy and need to leave first.
But my dad will deduct money from you when your clinic is not finished.
If Master asks about it, just let him deduct the money.
Brother Han Wen!
[ Bai Manor ]
Who is knocking? Why don't you let me sleep this early in the morning?
Miss Qing, it's already noon.
The weather feels chilly.
I was in my bed, how could I know it's already noon.
What do you want?
I'd like to see Miss Bai and return the umbrella.
She is not home. Go away.
- Where did she go? - It's none of your business. Who are you to her?
Why should I tell you where she went?
Sorry, I am too presumptuous.
There is a killing in Chang An recently. It's not safe for a woman to be out by herself.
I just wanted to remind her to watch her safety.
My sister is not alone.
Cousin is with her. It's quite safe.
If Master Xu really has nothing to do,
you can go find your sister Ruyi to spend time with.
I need to see her in person. I must explain something important to her.
No need!
Miss Bai!
I have to tell you something important. Please see me!
Where are you going?
You are going to see him.
You've changed your mind?
I...
The mortals are afraid of demons. They say demons are evil.
But I think demons are simpler than humans.
We eat out of needs. We love and hate by following instincts.
But they are different.
Their life only lasts a few decades,
so they don't believe in everlasting vow and eternal love.
But when a demon is hurt, we are in pain for a long time.
Suzhen, I don't want to see you break your heart.
Nor do I want to see you wounded.
So there are times
when it's better to cut it when it should be. Better short pain than long pain.
I only want to give him an umbrella.
- Miss Bai. - Physician Xu, your body came from your parents.
It's raining and cold, please leave.
Miss Bai, please listen to me.
Please give me a chance to explain to you in person.
Miss Bai, please open the door.
Miss Bai! Miss Bai!
[ Bai Manor ]
You're finally awake. I was scared.
Come, slowly get up.
You're such a grow-up now.
Why don't you know about taking care of yourself?
Didn't you carry an umbrella?
Why were you wet all over and passed out on the road?
If it weren't for Clockman Zhang who saw you and told the men at the Constanble's,
you would have lost your life.
Umbrella... Where's my umbrella?
I put away your umbrella.
Here, take the medicine first.
Where are you going?
What's the matter?
I want to mend the lantern.
Han Wen, you haven't even recovered yet.
She wouldn't listen to my explanation. I want her to know how I feel.
Han Wen, take your medicine.
Alright, put it there.
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
Sister, why are you sending off the lanterns here?
The moon is full. It's the 15th again.
15th. The mortal world is so interesting.
The Lantern Festival was so boisterous on the 15th. But on other 15th of the month,
But on other 15th of the month, it's cold with nothing happening.
What is that saying? Something about same and different?
Same scenes but people changed.
That's why we demons are more steadfast.
Look, there's no such thing as the view remains the same, but spirits have changed, right?
This lantern has writing on it.
Elder sister, did you make a wish?
Let me see.
Hope that people will live long.
Elder sister, you wrote that wrong.
You should write: Hope that spirit will live long.
Because only us spirits have deep affections.
Take a look, for the Fifteenth of the Month,
Only you honors the moon with lantern.
[ Bai Manor ]
Sister, look what that is.
There is a painting on that lantern. Also there are words.
The writing says, "A blue bird wept once to the dawn, send message quickly."
"Gentle yet spectacular pink appearance troubles willow branches." (willows symbolizes parted sorrows)
A good scene should be rewarded to my muse.
Will enjoy it with you tomorrow morning.
What does that mean?
He asked me to visit the West Lake tomorrow with him.
Him?
Do you mean Xu Xian?
That Xu Xian is quite cunning.
Sister, are you going to meet him?
Hope that people will live long.
That's a joke, how long does can humans live?
Enter.
The carriage for returning to Xu is ready.
We shall leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow, such a rush?
The sooner we get back, the more at peace I will feel.
But...
But what?
I need to say farewells.
You've only been to Lin-An for short period of time. You don't know that many people.
Who do you need to say farewell to?
I...I need to tell Xiao Qing.
You know Xiao Qing's personality.
She will surely throw a tantrum to get you to stay.
Better to write her a letter after you return to Ermei.
Invite her to Emei for a visit.
What about Sister Xu? I should let her know.
Then I will accompany you to say goodbyes. We'll leave as soon as it is done.
Also the neighbors at Quyuan Alley.
We will go there as well tomorrow. All right?
Slowly, Kexing.
Kexing is such a pretty lady.
- Sir. - Next time come to my manor again.
I will you inside the study for a good examination.
Before their death, all those people all met with Hu Kexing at Junxing Place.
This person is the most suspicious.
I refuse to believe that she will not show something amiss.
[ Get Drunk Together ]
Looks like this crude man did not fall under my spell.
Also intends to go against me.
Then I must send you to the Underworld to investigate.
Who is there?
Mister.
The monk, why is it you again?
I let you go last time. Do you really think I don't dare to take care of you?
Mister, there is a strong spirit essence on your body.
You are the one having strong spirit essence.
You think I don't understand? A man's body has three bundle of pure Yang essence.
How can I have spirit essence? Come on, go back with me to the guard's hall.
I am not saying that you are a spirit.
You have been planted spirit essence on your body by a spirit. I am concern it might do you harm.
Why should I believe you?
When the evil spirit find a target, in order to make it easier to find the target again.
They will put the spirit essence on the prey.
That's why the Centipede Spirit gave the fragrance pouch to those kids.
On your body, there is a scent of Fox Spirit.
You are speaking as if that's true.
Why don't you think more carefully.
The matter of the Centipede Spirit.
Did I said anything untruthful then?
You really didn't.
When you were walking around alone here.
Did you hear anything? Or heard anything?
Master.
Master, come here.
Master, I clearly saw a woman sitting there crying.
But disappears right after I blink.
Master, could she be?
Evil spirits are skilled at creating human forms to seduce the human mind.
This Spirit Conquering Sword is especially sensitive to spirit essence.
I will lend to you for protection.
Mister, could you be scamming me with a fake sword?
When the Spirit Conquering Sword meets with spirit essence, it will light up to warn its owner.
At night when the spirit essence is at highest potency.
It's magical property will also increase.
It can be unsheathed on its own to destroy a spirit.
Automatically unsheathes?
Master, you are too superstitious.
Sir.
Just use it to protect your residence.
All right, thank you Master. See you next time.
Must say, this sword is quite scary.
He actually received such a high power magical weapon. I almost got vanquished here.
You got lucky today. We shall see later.
Brother Han Wen. Brother Han Wen.
Father, where is Xu Xian? Why didn't he come to the pharmacy again?
He asked for a few days of leave.
You permitted him?
Why not? Take a look at this.
He worked 20 days this month
and then took off a few days.
I almost deducted all of his wages. We don't lose any money.
We lose a lot!
Is my life's happiness only worth two taels of silver?
What life's happiness?
Wife. Wife.
Aren't you afraid of hurting people with your morning swordplay?
Just practice.
Where is our Han Wen?
He's out.
Look at this overcast weather. It'll rain soon.
He hasn't even recovered.
He's been absentminded. It's good to let him go out and get some air.
Here. come eat.
Open the door.
Who's that?
Miss Bai, you're here. Come inside.
Miss Bai.
We are here to say farewell.
We've visited Lin-an for three months already. We need to return to Xu Land.
We really appreciate your taking care of my sister.
Here is a small gift. Please accept.
Look at how courteous they are.
What's the matter with this sward. Quit playing with your broken sword.
No, Miss Bai is leaving.
Miss Bai is not from Lin An. What's so unusual about her leaving?
I'm going to find Han Wen. You must keep Miss Bai here at all cost.
Alright, alright.
Miss Bai, once you leave, there's no telling when you're return.
Let's have lunch here today.
I'll go shop for groceries now. You must wait here for me.
Come, please come inside the house.
Let's go.
Come.
I don't understand what you see in Xu Xian.
He's a typical poor guy.
Other than looking fairly nice and working pretty hard,
how can he match my Ruyi?
In this world, already few can be a good match for me.
According to what you say, do I stay single forever?
Stay single forever? That won't do.
How can I tell that to your mother?
Then don't bother finding me another family to marry into.
I don't want to marry into a big family to be abused.
If Xu Xian would consent to marry into our family, then I won't be bullied.
At least he always listens to you.
Can you bear to let me marry just anyone of unknown roots
and even be abused til the end of my life?
Don't cry, don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, my baby.
I'll agree, so that good enough?
Father, then go propose the marriage.
I propose? Proposal should be done by the man's family.
There's no such a thing that a woman's family doing the proposal.
If you want Xu Xian to marry into our family, then you have to do the proposal.
It's better to do it now rather than wait for selecting a date.
Now, go now.
Father, please just go.
Good father, you are so good.
Alright, Father will do what you want.
Such a....
Miss.
You rely on Master pampering so in order to...
Whatever Jin Ruyi likes,
she'll get. No matter what!
Come, come. Miss Bai, Young Lord Jing Sung, have tea.
Brother Li, your sword is quite unique.
It can actually shine. May I take a look?
Sure, sure.
This sword... Miss Bai, have some tea.
You are living well in Lin An, why are you leaving all of a sudden?
Drink tea, Young Lord Jin Sung.
Good sword.
This sword is really interesting. It shines when it sees people.
Isn't it supposed to shine when it meets demons?
Why is it shining when it sees me? Did that monk fool me with a bad sword?
Look, it must be my wife and Han Wen returning. I'll go look.
Coming, coming!
Coming, coming, don't worry.
HanWen! Oh my, HanWen.
-Brother-in-Law! How are you? -Ruyi! Master Jin!
Why are you here?
-Can you do something for me? -Do something for you?
-Hurry! Bring them in! -What are you doing? Moving?
-Are you unloading something on me? What you're doing is bribing me, I'm telling you. -These are betrothal gifts!
-Betrothal gifts?? Acting, acting, acting.
My Ruyi is pushing me too much.
Accompany me in fooling her.
I'm requesting marriage between
XuXian and my RuYi.
These are all betrothal gifts. I know that
I know that these aren't good enough, so I just sent them ahead of time.
I can't have the whole neighborhood laugh at my RuYi, right?
But let's agree that after a couple of days, I'll need to take them away, alright? -Hurry!
I'm telling you that this doesn't count. We have to ask our JiaoRong. Then let's now discuss
the wedding date, alright?
- Wedding gifts? - Yes, yes, yes.
-Didn't I already say we need to ask my JiaoRong about this first? -That's true.
Then how about this? Let's go inside and wait until
your JiaoRong and HanWen come home and discuss it together, will that do?
Hey, cooperate with me.
Uh, are there any auspicious days coming soon?
Miss Bai.
No, Young Lord Jin Sung. This...
Miss Bai, don't leave until you've eaten first.
She came to Xu Xian's house so early in the morning.
I just overslept a little.
Constable Li.
Miss Qing, what's the matter?
What's that thing you're carrying?
This? The monk from Jin Shan Temple gave it to me.
Said that it can help me subdue monsters and eliminate evil spirits.
But it's acting really strange in the past couple of days. It's shining at everyone.
It even shines at me. Are you scared?
No, no, no. You believe the words of that stinky monk?
I bet he thinks everyone is a demon.
When we were trying to capture that Centipede Spirit,
So I should believe him at least 30 percent of the time.
You can't even believe 30 percent of it.
I think this sword is completely unreliable, just like that stinky monk.
How about let me borrow it to try?
You want to play with it? Sure.
You want to play, I'll let you try it. Go play, I need to get busy.
Sure, go ahead.
Thank you.
What's so fun about kicking balls. Boys should play games that boys play with.
What is a game for boys?
Gongfu?
Didn't I ask you to host the guests at home?
- Don't mention that. - Detective Li, take this!
-Sister Xu. -Miss XiaoQing
It's good that you've come. Everyone's here. Let's go home and eat something good.
Then it's better for me to be respectful than decline.
Go.
It's so lively today outside.
What's this stink. Really!
Where is Miss Bai?
This... Miss Bai... has gone...
she left?
The ship to West Shu should have left yet.
Ship?
Ship to where?
Aren't you going back to West Shu today?
Miss Qing, don't tell me you didn't know.
Oh no!
Stinky rat!
Miss QIng, where are you going?
Han Wen. Han Wen.
It's about to rain, take an umbrella first.
Han Wen.
It's almost raining, why are they all going out?
Tell me, why did Miss Bai leave so suddenly?
I don't even want to think about it. Master Jin just came
and wanted me to playact with him
to propose marriage to their family. He even prepared the marriage gifts.
Proposal?
Don't worry, it's just playacting. Everything will be returned in a few days.
Then you're saying you not only coaxed Ruyi, you also lied to Miss Bai?
I didn't....
No, no, no.
Jiaorong! Han Wen!
I did this...
Clouds southward. Rain showers. The clouds towards the south.
Are just like cotton stuffing right now.
A bit later on, it's going to rain mightily.
Customer, if everyone's present, then we should leave as soon as possible.
Suzhen, get into the boat.
Boat man, let's go.
Someone is waving. Maybe wants to get on the boat.
If you don't mind, let's wait a few seconds.
What a Bai Suzhen, you are leaving without telling me.
Did that stinky rat taught you?
We are planning to return to Ermei.
You are the area head snake from Lin-an, why should we notify you?
Who says I can't follow you? I especially want to go too.
Xiao Qin, it was only a momentary plan for you to pretend to be my maidservant.
Didn't you tell Xu Xian that I am your younger sister, not your maidservant.
Older sisters are not suppose to leave their younger sister.
This time we are planning to Meditate in Ermei.
Most likely we will not leave the mountain for several hundred years.
You have a active personality, how can you stand to do that?
Why couldn't I stand it? I will get used to it.
I don't care. I will follow you to where you go.
You don't let follow you. I won't let you leave then.
Anyway I will follow you in this entire lifetime.
What about those friends of yours?
That's easy. Let them fly over to Ermei.
If I didn't find you here, I would also fly to Ermei to look for you.
It's quiet in Ermei, not as boisterous as Lin-An city. Are you sure now?
I am already tired of Lin-An. I want to try something new.
- Let's go. Please start the boat.
Time to go.
Customer, a rainy day is a day for detaining guests.
The West Lake waves are getting big, we need to pull over to shore first.
We can take care of the matter by just moving the rain to the town.
This lady must be jesting.
How can be control where the rain cloud floats to. The West Lake has a nice sunny scenery.
Also nice in the rain too . Rain or shine,
It is up to Heaven's gift to us.
Boat master.
Boat master, we will pay extra for the entire boat. Please don't let others get onboard.
This passenger, my boat is full already.
I am here to ride the boat. I am looking for someone.
All right, I will be come back.
