Episode 02
The way he plays with the rope
is the same with how the murderer escaped.
He must be the killer!
But if he is the killer,
why would he act so boldly,
performing at the crime scene?
That's easy.
He is stupid.
Does he look like a moron?
So you mean he is not the killer?
He is not the killer,
but people who can perform illusion tricks are so rare.
Maybe we can find some clues from him.
Next time you see him,
be careful.
Don't get engaged easily.
Okay, got it.
You find a place to wait me.
I'll go ask for more news.
More news?
You're definitely not going to work.
You playboy!
So pretty.
Right.
So pretty.
She is like a fairy came from heaven.
So violence.
Forget it.
Let's go. Let's go.
What?
Why you come back so soon?
That girl turned you off?
It's me, okay?
How is that possible?
Enough.
Seriously,
I did get some news.
Go on.
That man came after the imperial censor Zheng got killed.
He is not local.
He is using the murderer as his selling point.
to perform all kinds of tricks.
I know it! He must be the murderer!
He is using this to get profits!
That makes sense.
But other than that,
I also heard an interesting person,
an interesting place.
Could you just tell me directly?
Who is that? What place?
Tell me!
There's a temple in Tai'an called Qixing Temple.
In Qixing Temple, there's a guru.
I heard this Guru Demiao can cure people.
And auspicious signs showed in her Qixing Temple as well.
An immortal came down once.
At that time, fragrance spread everywhere.
That kind of weird things and strange person
are what we are looking for.
This is the place.
This guru Demiao is quite strange.
It's hard to hear you say that about a woman.
You're a strange woman.
Wake the dead, bone grows flesh.
Animal talks, dead tree blossoms.
Don't you find it familiar?
Familiar?
Make things appear, and make things disappear.
What's the difference?
The murderer climbed a rope and disappeared.
So you mean.
Those are illusion tricks?
Guru Demiao.
She is here.
Guru Demiao.
That's great.
That worked.
It's all because of her.
Right.
The most merciful guru Demiao.
Thank you!
The child of Zhangs came back to life?
Yes.
He was dying.
Guru Demiao gave him some charmed water.
He opened his eyes at once!
Come back to life?
That's immortals' skills.
Thank you so much.
Arise please.
Thank you for saving our child.
You're welcome.
If it weren't you, he would be dead by now.
That kid of the Zhangs is the only offspring
of his three generations.
They must be thrilled.
That's right.
They even sold their family house.
They came here to express gratitude to Guru Demiao.
Thank you, guru Demiao.
Guru.
This is our little gift.
Please take it.
Thank you.
Thank you guru.
Thank you.
That Nun looks highly respected.
How shall we investigate her?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
At this time, you're gonna drink wine?
A stolen wine?
Who said I'm gonna drink it?
What're you doing?
Watch and learn.
Miaomiao!
You..
So shameless!
Who are you? How dare you be so rude?
Miaomiao.
Miaomiao, you're turning me away?
13th this month at noon,
you agreed to run away with me.
To live together forever.
How could you deny it?
You..
Don't talk nonsense here.
I always preserve my moral integrity.
Don't ruin my reputation here.
Miaomiao
Are you really leaving me?
Is that real?
Where did he come from?
Don't listen to him.
He...
He is a lunatic.
You!
No more nonsense.
The 13th this month,
Guru Demiao were invited by others.
They had Taoism Idle talk in Qixing Temple.
How could she meet with you?
You saw her doing idle talk.
Did you follow her to eat, drink or sleep?
You must be Miaomiao's helper to trick me.
You're so cruel.
That day, there was a strange murder case in Tai'an.
Of course we would remember that day.
Am I right?
Yeah!
Of course we would remember.
Right!
Big brother!
Brother!
Why did you get drunk again?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
My big brother is a drunkard.
He always gets drunk and makes trouble.
Last month, my sis-in-law finally couldn't bear him.
And ran away from home.
Since that day,
he had never been sober for one day.
Always calling pretty women he met as his wife.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
He has to learn some lessons.
Let go of him.
Thank you guru Demiao.
Thank you.
What a poor man.
Now take your big brother home.
Thank you guru Demiao.
Thank you.
Thank you guru Demiao.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let him go.
So generous.
So merciful.
Guru Demiao.
So merciful!
What made-up story was that?
Such a good looking.
Handsome guy.
If a woman marry me. She won't run away!
Cut it out.
Now say it. What was that?
Demiao has no Kungfu.
How did you know that?
When facing an emergency,
People will show their natural reaction.
Just now, I dragged her in my arms
all of a sudden.
I was testing if she is a Kungfu master.
But turns out,
she has no ability to hurt anyone.
What does that say?
That means,
she has no ability to kill a man on the street.
You saw the magistrate of Taian County's record.
The killer is quite professional.
And escaped easily.
That must be a Kungfu master.
Maybe she has a Kungfu master there.
If there is such a person.
They have to be very close.
Just now, I insulted her like that,
if such a master were there,
things wouldn't end so peacefully.
Even before I lay my hands on her.
Besides,
we can find many kungfu masters.
But people who can perform illusion tricks well
are so rare.
That makes sense.
Does that mean,
she isn't the murderer?
I'm not sure.
But Demiao doesn't have the ability
or motive,
and she has alibi.
The day censor Zheng died
was the 13th of this month.
She was doing idle talk
for a whole day.
She had no time to go out.
Doesn't that prove she isn't the murderer?
I don't know.
I have a feeling.
That she is too clean.
You're always doubting.
If you ask me,
it must be that man.
When I catch him,
I will...
I will find the truth.
Sometimes, I really envy your naivete.
Are you sure it's a compliment?
Of course I am.
What are you talking about?
But I did see...
Have you found we're being followed?
What shall we do?
Play it by ear.
Stupid kid. Gotcha!
Last time, you made fun of us.
This time, you are not gonna run away from me.
Are you sure?
Run. Keep running.
What's so smelly?!
He escaped again!
I've searched the place Zheng Ziwen lived in.
Found nothing about us.
But I couldn't open his coffin to check it.
Now that place is guarded day and night.
You have to find another way.
Taoist.
Sir!
What are you doing?
Please say something for me to guru Demiao.
My lord is the imperial censor.
He is appointed by his majesty.
As long as guru Demiao
performed a religious rite for my lord.
After my lady arrives in Tai'an,
she will send you our thank-you gift.
A poor guy
who can't even afford ten liang silver,
how dare you say that?
Any lie has its consequence!
Sir!
Sir.
What are you doing?
Sir!
Shut up!
Anyone?
Throw him out!
Sir!
I will definitely pay you!
Sir!
Bro.
Are you looking for someone
to perform a religious rite?
It's the seventh day after my lord died.
I want to find someone to perform a religious rite for him.
So he could rest in peace.
Your lord?
Is he imperial censor Zheng?
Your case.
I take it.
Rise.
But... I don't have much money.
How much do you have?
That
would be enough!
Let's go.
Thank you!
What did you say?
Zheng?
Yes.
He said his master is some imperial censor.
It's the seventh day after he died.
He wants you
to perform a religious rite for free.
Those poor rogues.
How bold they are!
So I drove him out!
Idiot!
Where's he now?
Maybe already left.
Get me carriage.
We'll set out right now.
Yes, madam.
It's the seventh day after censor Zheng died.
He doesn't have many friends here.
Let's go attend his funeral.
Excuse me, may I ask.
Whose carriage is that?
So gorgeous.
That's guru Demiao's carriage.
I think
maybe she is invited to perform some religious rite.
This is guru Demiao.
Guru heard today is the seventh day after censor Zheng died.
So she came here
wants to perform a religious rite for censor Zheng.
I'm afraid I can't afford such a bigshot.
Are you censor Zheng's servant, Moyan?
I have already known how you were treated
at Qingxing Temple.
It's my fault,
I didn't teach them well.
I've punished him seriously.
Censor Zheng is honest and upright.
Demiao admires him very much.
So I came here today,
Wanna perform a religious rite for him
to pay my respect.
Really?
Guru, you're so kind!
Zheng Ziwen's Temporary Memorial Tablet
You arrived just in time!
We can start now.
Wait.
Your work here is done.
What do you mean?
Give back my money and leave.
How could you do that?
I admire your lord so much, so I helped you.
Guru Demiao is gonna do it for my lord.
Now she is at the hall.
How could you compare with her?
Demiao?
Guru Demiao admires my lord's morality.
So she came here to do it free.
She is a guru.
You're just nobody.
You wanna compare with her?
You must be joking.
I can't meet her.
Not yet.
Your money.
Demiao doesn't look like a villain.
She is doing this for imperial censor Zheng, an upright official.
I don't think she is doing this for money.
Do you remember that country woman at Qixing Temple?
The most merciful guru Demiao!
You're our savior!
Later I did my research.
Those who were saved by Demiao,
they all end up broke.
Demiao saved people for their money.
The more money, the earlier get saved.
No money, no chance.
But those ignorant civilians are fooled,
thinking she's a merciful savior for them.
Guess.
How much Demiao charged
for this ritual?
Well...
Imperial censor Zheng is a clean official.
Could he afford for it?
I guess,
Demiao performed this ritual
for free.
If so,
she must have something to do
with his death.
Get up.
Who are you?
What you want?
I should ask you guys that.
Tell me.
Why did you follow me that day?
And why did you follow Demiao to the post house?
Why should I tell you?
You little girl.
Look quite pretty.
What if you get bullied by other people?
How about being my wife?
What do you say?
Daydream!
Daydream?
If you like daydreaming,
then...
Go daydream.
Darling, you're back.
I miss you so much.
I've cooked your favorite braised pork.
What do you call me?
Darling.
I've married you.
So you're my...
Husband?
Wait.
When did I get married?
Where am I?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Help, Liu!
People in a dream are most obedient.
If I want you to be my wife,
you'll have to be.
Can't run away.
Don't be afraid, Yaoguang.
He was bluffing.
He's not that kind of man.
Bro.
That's...
Not right at all.
I...
Fooling around in the market, doing various bad deeds.
About what I've done,
you righteous people,
won't get it.
You hate Demiao.
The reason that one hates another one is,
that one is totally against you.
So you can't be like Demiao.
Tell me.
Demiao.
What kind of person she is?
Abusing her ability.
Greedy.
Making people indulged in her illusions
and miss out on the best cure time.
Your ability is as good as hers.
Why she's rich and respected, but you're the opposite?
What does it mean?
Means what?
It means you two are totally different.
She's vicious.
You're kind.
I'm kind?
I did bad things.
But you failed to see any.
I've investigated those saved by her.
Many of them got ill for no reason.
Only she can cure them.
After they ate her medicine,
they recovered for a while.
But as time passed by,
they died of some other reason.
Even...
Committed suicide.
She used some pain relieving medicine,
plus her illusion tricks,
made patients think they're healed.
Later,
she just needed to make them die of
other reasons rather than previous illnesses.
Her lies then could continue to take effect.
What she did is
far more than this.
In fact, you've already known our identity?
Where's my waist token?
Did you steal it?
These two things?
Like I care!
Take it back.
Well.
Why do you wanna tackle Demiao?
Because...
Demiao killed my Shifu.
She and I...
are arch enemies.
After I grew up,
I never stopped trying to take revenge.
Because I always watched her,
by coincidence,
I saw her enter that post house
to meet with imperial censor Zheng.
Memorial
You demon woman.
Cheated and hurt civilians.
How can I let you off?
I'll report it to his majesty right now.
To punish you!
You already took my poison.
Dead or alive.
It's up to me.
Even if dead,
I'll leave the evidence to get you punished!
You're asking for death.
After you dispose his body,
search this room carefully.
Gotta find the hidden evidence.
That's not right.
Imperial censor Zheng was killed on the street.
No.
That's not the real time of his death.
I kept watching her in the dark.
After Demiao killed the imperial official,
she feared it would be huge.
So,
she hid up imperial censor Zheng's body.
Made people think he's missing.
A day later.
She used a trick to move his body
to show up on the street.
And then told someone to kill him again.
Thus,
she could have an alibi.
After I knew her purpose,
I was worried that she would get away with her crime.
So,
I did something.
I used an illusion effect
to make them believe that
me climbing along the rope
is the killer.
So as to
make a normal official murder case,
a much told strange case.
Thus,
the court would pay attention
and send the elites
to investigate the case.
Then,
you guys showed up.
Since that,
when we investigated Demiao in Qixing Temple,
why did you follow us?
Because I fought with you before.
And then you entered there.
I gotta figure out whom you're working for.
Qingyang Pavilion
My Shifu...
Died right here.
This Taoist yard
is where I lived with him.
We went in the mountain to chop firewood.
And planted vegetables.
Lived quite a relaxing life.
Until that day...
Shifu's fellow student, Yuan Yuanzi,
visited him along with his student, Demiao.
They had a fight outside.
You ungrateful, rebellious bastard!
How dare you try to kill our Shifu?
You're not afraid of getting punished?
I'm not!
Shifu, watch out!
Although my Shifu disabled Demiao's kungfu,
he himself
was killed by his junior, Yuan Yuanzi.
Shifu!
Luckily, they're still humans.
Didn't kill you.
You think they would let me go?
Demiao's kungfu was gone.
So she's furious.
Shifu.
Luckily, I...
Luckily.
Her kungfu was gone.
So,
not powerful enough.
Thus I could survive.
And then?
And then,
you just lived alone?
Later,
I dare not stay in Taian.
I traveled about.
Cultivated the methods left by my Shifu.
Until I grew up.
I came back here.
To take revenge on that demon woman.
Don't worry.
No matter what,
we'll help you.
Thank you.
It's okay.
I, Wu Yaoguang,
like to uphold justice.
What's wrong with you?
When you stole my waist token,
did you take advantage of me?
What?
You're not my type!
I gotta beat you!
Come back!
Don't beat me.
Come back!
Listen to me...
Come back.
I'll fight back.
Look at them.
Like they're enemies in their last life.
