Mr. Fei,
who is actually the monster?
Does that matter?
So what matters?
Daji, daughter of Su Hu.
I thought
she was playing a trick
to save her life.
She’s more dangerous than
we thought she was.
We’ve got to be careful.
Understood.
Yeah!
We’ve got to be careful. Be careful.
Uncle,
I wronged Daji.
No.
Du Yuanxian
was the monster.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
I don’t understand.
Some monsters are kinder than people,
and some people
are more vicious than monsters.
I understand.
I understand your words.
Your Grace,
though you failed in
hunting the monster,
I admire you
more than before.
What do you mean?
In the hunting
you had a good plan,
did not rush
or push the King.
He can’t vent his anger on you.
Your authority in the palace
is secured.
I have to say
I admire you, uncle.
Do you?
I won’t have a good ending.
Leave me.
Yes.
How did you know
Du Yuanxian was a wolf?
He said he smelt me out,
didn’t I smell out him?
The disgusting
ugly smell,
I can’t forget.
even in a thousand years.
What happened
between you and him?
For thousands years,
wolves
never stop hunting my children.
Wolves and foxes
are deadly enemies.
Didn’t know you have enemy.
He’s not my rival,
he’s not an enemy.
Yeah,
he did better than you do.
He chose the right way.
He was a Minister in the palace.
And you?
He cared about a human form,
and watched
his clan killed
one by one.
He was mean, selfish
and cruel.
Do you admire
he who sought personal benefits
at the cost of
the bloodline of
his own clan?
He’s dead.
Whatever he was,
there would be a judgment.
There is no one standing
in your way.
Don’t forget
it is because of me.
What’s the price?
To the point.
Du Yuanxian is dead.
What’s your next plan?
I saved your life one more time.
I suppose I deserve to know.
Do you?
Your Majesty.
Why? Did I hurt you?
I heard
the Queen is sick,
might be frightened.
Daji worries about her.
Anxiety.
Daji, one day
she’ll be deprived of her title.
You’ll be the Queen.
No,
please don’t, Your Majesty,
please.
Why is that?
Of all the women in the palace,
she’s the kindest,
and she loves you.
Deprivation causes complaints
not only among your ministers
but also the people
of the Kingdom.
She hurt you so much
and you care about her.
Du Yuanxian
fooled the Queen.
It was not her fault.
Daji,
it’s so kind of you.
I appreciate it
and I love you so much.
Tell me a wish,
whatever it is.
I have all your favors.
I
don’t expect more.
Hey,
I read something from your lips.
You want something.
Tell me,
and you’ll have it.
No, I don’t.
Daji.
I…
I ask for a small favor.
Say it.
Whatever it is,
sweetheart.
Your Majesty forever!
Decree!
Su Hu, former marquis of Jizhou,
whose loyalty and patriotism
have been testified,
is hereby conferred Dukedom,
his corpse be gilded
and a state funeral be given.
Dad,
mom,
do you see it?
Do you hear
what the stupid King say?
Do you hear it?
The Son of Heaven,
the King of Shang is begging
for your forgiveness.
Coldblooded,
greedy he is,
he started the war that slaughtered.
How could he know
the pain of a broken home?
All the pains he put on me
will be
paid back twofold.
The revenge just begins.
His mind will be weakened,
his loves
be taken,
and he be in living death.
Hey, you!
Cleaning?
Honey,
I ask for your approval of
the noodle business.
That’s your job.
Save the ask.
What else are you good at?
Yes, save the ask.
Stop!
Well,
wanna sneak away
without a goodbye?
No.
I’m considering
if I shall
ask for your approval
of asking for it.
Nonsense!
Come over. You need a good brush.
Thanks, I can do it myself.
Come over!
Old man,
we’re a rich family,
you know it?
A rich family
dresses decently.
A rich family?
Are we rich?
Don’t you know it?
The gold date!
We’ve had many this year.
The next year, the next, next year,
and the years next…
Just think about it!
Honey,
very farsighted.
Go for business.
Yes.
Go!
I envy you.
Warm sunshine,
singing birds,
peace and calmness.
Master,
here you come.
We’ve been waiting
for a whole night.
No food, no drink.
We are starving.
Happiness has a price.
Time to start.
With hunger?
Hunger purifies.
It’s the right time.
Master,
What shall we do?
Wu Ji,
are you the best
swordsman of all swordsmen?
Take this.
Take the bamboo sword,
break up the flowing water.
Are you kidding me, master?
I can’t do it
no matter how sharp the sword is.
Did you try?
No.
You didn’t,
and how do you know it?
Heard of it? That’ll get you killed.
Go, break it up.
Listen,
break up the flowing water,
or there’ll be no lunch.
Congratulations!
You always surprise me, pal.
Stop it. It’s not funny.
Maybe
he gives you a mountain.
Your turn.
Yes, master.
What’s the assignment?
Counting the beans.
Beans? That’s easy.
Easy?
Count! How many?
Count!
It’s… about
There’s no about.
Tell me the exact number,
no more, no less.
How many? Count! Now! How many?
Eighty… eighty-eight.
Wrong.
Eighty-one.
Fool!
Too fool to count!
No? Pick them up,
one by one,
and check if it’s eighty-one or not.
Go!
Break!
I got it.
It’s an inspiration.
He implies I’m too slow.
I must be quick,
as quick as the flash.
How many?
Master was right.
It’s eighty-one.
Again!
Count! How many?
How many?
Get the exact number
before they stop rolling.
How many?
Ninety-nine.
Pretty well.
But…
wrong again.
A hundred and two.
Believe it?
Yes.
Yes?
Pick the beans up
and throw them,
till you get
a hundred and two.
See you.
Master, you’re leaving us, again.
Lunch is waiting for me.
Remember,
till you get
a hundred and two.
Pick the beans up
and throw them,
till you get
a hundred and two.
Wu Ji,
what’re you doing?
Master,
you told me to break up the water.
I thought you were fishing.
Master,
I’m sorry.
Though I’m quick enough…
Why can’t you do it?
It’s… it’s
absolutely impossible!
Look,
you were trying
and doubting whether you could do it.
Certainly you can’t.
Give me the sword.
I’ll show you.
See?
Yes.
You make it?
Master,
in my meditation yesterday,
I saw something strange.
I was chopped by swords.
Grave pain.
Because
you saw what you shouldn’t.
Supernatural power
has a price to pay.
Sometimes
the price is so high,
deadly,
painful,
desperate,
and helpless,
much more greater
than it should be.
Do you understand?
You mean
I would have supernatural power?
You mean
the dream would come true?
How many beans?
A hundred and two.
Where are the missing three?
The first is under your foot.
Master
is in rags,
but stands on Yin and Yang.
The second?
The second
is in future.
And the third?
The third is not a bean,
it’s war.
As my dream suggests,
the three realms
are at war,
the universe is in turmoil,
Hungry?
Starving!
Eat.
Wu Ji,
come for lunch,
and bring my sign.
Eat.
No.
Why?
Master said
break up the water,
or there’ll be no lunch.
Wu Ji,
a paladin you call yourself,
tell me,
have you been to Mont. Tai?
Yes.
Out of all the mountains,
is it
the most eminent,
the loftiest,
and the most beautiful?
It’s not.
So what a mountain is it?
The toughest,
the most honest.
Wu Ji,
You’re the Mont. Tai of human.
Have your lunch
and go home.
I have the noodle business to do.
Beef noodle, mutton noodle, onion noodle,
sauce noodle…
Yin Jiao,
where are you going?
Mother,
I’d like a walk for fresh air.
Seems you have
a heavy heart.
Yes, very heavy.
Jiao,
if
you visit your master’s tomb,
bring him a word from me.
Yes, mother.
Tell him Mr. Du’s loyalty is known
to the heaven and me.
How does mom know
I’ll visit his tomb?
It’s the seventh day,
when even a ghost
misses his home.
Please be assured,
I will bring your word.
And,
don’t expect
nobody know you’re
the crown prince in casual dress
Take care.
Yes, mother.
Bye, mother.
Master,
mother
bring a message,
Mr. Du’s loyalty is known
to the heaven and me.
and to me.
Master,
the palace
is shut in darkness.
In each corner of it
spreads the rumor,
your turn today, and whose tomorrow?
Master,
tell me, please,
who’s going to die tomorrow?
Me,
or mother?
Father,
or Daji?
Master,
what’s that?
Tell me,
I can’t catch you.
Your Highness,
we’ve got to go.
Someone is coming.
If they know of
your visit to Mr. Du’s tomb,
you will be in trouble.
Straw sandals.
Just look and feel it.
Vegetables, fresh green vegetables.
Straw sandals.
Fruits, over here, please.
Fresh fruits. Fresh fruits.
How much are the apples?
My apples…
Feather duster. Cheers. Cheers.
Over here.
I put it here.
Where is the crock?
You’re crocked.
Madam, I’ve said for times,
no more bargaining.
Boss,
five coins less.
Come on,
frequenter’s discount.
Alright, I give in.
Five coins less.
OK?
It should be.
Where’s my money?
You must be stolen.
Stolen?
I noticed that man
tailed you all the way.
Thief!
Go give a hand! Get the thief!
Go! Go!
Go! Go get him!
Go!
Come over and have a look.
Fine cloth.
Look,
South brocade.
This is not sin.
It’s good. I’m doing good.
In case you go bad,
he who eats will have the runs.
I mean it.
Lord.
You.
Sir,
are you blind?
You hit me.
Did you harass me
because I’m pretty?
Sir,
this is Zhaoge,
the capital of the King.
and you harassed me
under the Sun.
Is there justice?
Lady,
I’m sorry, it was an accident.
Look, look at this.
Open your eyes
and take a good look.
Is this what you want?
Is this what your lust wants?
This is
bloody humiliation in the public.
You tore my dress,
and stained my virginity.
Sorry, sorry.
Lady, take this.
That buys
a dozen of new dresses.
Take it.
Please.
Gentleman, what is that?
Am I a thief?
No. Am I racketeer?
I didn’t mean that.
Do I look
like a poor beggar?
Yes, you’re rich,
but do not
show off your richness.
Yeah. She’s right.
Lady, lady.
Please, how can I make this up?
Give me your purse.
I put your money back.
Why do you
carry so much money with you?
That’ silly.
Yeah, I’m silly.
Always watch your steps.
Goodbye.
Lord, let’s go.
Oh, no.
The purse is gone?
No!
Lord, what’s up?
She took the charm
master gave me.
How dare she.
Hey, you.
Get her.
He’s rich, and a miser.
How could he?
Hey, stop,
or I’ll chop you into pieces.
Lady, stop.
You may take the money,
but not the coin.
Stop! Go!
Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Lady!
Lady! Make way!
Money! Money!
Excuse me!
Excuse us!
Lady!
Stop, lady, stop!
Excuse me. What’s wrong with you?
Stop!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hunting a girl
under the Sun.
Unacceptable.
Stop, you bitch.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Stop!
Where is she?
Into the alley.
Go get her!
Hungry?
That’s rude.
Don’t just show your hands to take.
The poor has dignity,
and ambition.
Got it?
First,
say thank you, lady.
Thank you, lady.
Second,
see the two guys there?
run to them,
arms around their legs,
and call grandpa.
We don’t have a grandpa.
They have money.
Lady, please stay.
You may take the money,
I need the coin.
Grandpa. Grandpa.
We found you here.
Don’t drop your grandson.
Grandpa. Grandpa.
Grandson misses you.
Grandson is starving.
Lady.
We’ve got B, C and D.
We don’t have an A,
nor your A3.
It can’t be.
It should be alphabetic,
why there is no A.
Girl,
welcome to the Weird Valley.
Girl,
are you looking for someone?
My dad.
My home
is in A3, Weird Valley.
Girl,
I don’t know who told you that.
There is no A.
No, no, no.
If there is no A,
it should be the Broken Alley.
There must be an A.
The key is
where it is.
Grandpa, grandson misses you.
Grandson is starving.
Where did you get the money?
Is it from the girl?
Grandpa. Grandpa.
We found you here.
Grandpa,
don’t drop your grandson.
Grandpa. Grandpa.
Answer my question.
Fine, you’ll have the money.
Tell me.
Is it from the girl?
Yes. The lady said
first, be polite and say
thank you, lady.
Second,
arms around
your legs.
Make you stay
and she’ll give more
Third,
What’s the third?
we will not
waste the money
and do something decent,
and she’ll help us.
Bide,
it looks
the girl thief
did a good thing.
Isn’t she helping the poor
in her way?
Kids,
did you find a coin,
a coin that looks different from
these in your hands?
That’s all we have.
Wipe it.
Take it away.
It stinks.
Hey, you.
You’ve got a new one.
Give it back.
Hold on, easy. Give it back.
Why?
Stay away!
You goat.
Rape!
Give me.
Thanks.
You are the man
who tripped me up?
Where is the girl thief?
You let her go.
She stole the crown…
She stole
my lord’s treasure.
She stole mine, too.
Hold on.
I’m going to search you.
Why?
I’m not the thief.
Be it or not, I’ll search you.
We’ve been fooled too much today.
Get away.
Tell me,
why did you help the thief?
Where is she?
How could you
think I am
with the thief?
Wait.
That’s to say,
she fooled both of us.
We have to solve this.
Where could she be?
There’s a man who knows it.
Who?
My master.
Where is your master?
Ma’s Noodles.
Ninety-five,
ninety-six,
ninety-seven,
ninety-eight,
ninety-nine,
ninety-nine and a half,
Uncle,
what are you doing?
Being silly.
Counting ants? Ninety-nine and a half ants?
Why there’s a half?
It’s you.
I’ve figured it out.
Before I count to a hundred,
something will happen.
So I have to slow down,
wait
and see what happens.
Ninety-nine and a half,
Silly man.
Uncle,
do you know
where the Weird Alley is?
Yes.
Now everyone knows,
and in the future the whole world knows.
And do you know
A3 Weird Alley,
where is it?
Now everyone knows,
and in the future
the whole world knows.
Really? Where is it?
Just here.
Uncle, are you too old?
There is B, C and D in Weird Alley,
there is no A,
nor A3.
Why?
It’s weird.
Girl, A is not weird,
B, C and D are.
That’s way you can’t find it.
Is it A3 here?
Sure.
And,
where is A1 and A2?
My wife is A1,
my daughter A2,
and I A3.
If this is A3,
you are
What am I?
You’re my dad.
I knew something will happen,
but never expected this.
Dad,
dad,
I’ve been looking for you for too long.
Dad.
Wait, wait,
What… Dad?
You’re my dad.
Master.
Here you are!
Hey,
what is that?
Breaking into my home under the Sun,
and with a sword?
What? Your home?
Yes.
This is my home.
I’m Xiao’er.
This is my dad.
Dad, what’s your name?
Jiang Ziya.
Hear that? Hear that?
Jiang Ziya.
And, this is my brother.
Brother. Brother.
What’s your name?
Yang Jian.
Hear that?
Yang Jian.
We’re family,
lawful and happy.
Are we, dad?
Yes.
You damn old!
How dare you! Mom!
You’ve got a love child!
You!
Who is the woman?
Who is she?
Who? Are you deaf?
Are you?
You damn old!
I’ll kill you! Mom, mom!
How dare you!
Mom!
I eyed on you these years
and didn’t find
you have a woman.
Who is she?
Who is the wench girl?
Are you deaf? Mom, mom!
Who is she? Mom, stop it.
This is the pole for the dates.
I know it’s the date pole,
and I’ll beat the damn old
with the date pole.
Mom.
Think about it.
You might
beat out six love children.
That’d be awful.
My goodness, my lord,
did I do sins
that you bring me the old man?
You damn old.
Dad.
