Hurry up. Come in.
I come to give this back to you.
I found it back for you.
So,
should I say thank you?
You’re welcome!
Look at you!
You’re not strong enough to hold it now.
It’s your fault, isn’t it?
All right.
His coming
means he knows he was wrong.
Stop embarrassing him.
You don’t blame me?
No, I don’t.
I’m the one to blame.
I forgot your temper.
I shouldn’t have said that to you
and annoyed you.
It’s my bad hand!
It always doesn’t listen to me.
It keeps making trouble.
In fact…
In fact, I didn’t mean
to hurt you.
I understand.
Otherwise,
you wouldn’t have bothered to
find the trident for me.
Without the trident,
I wouldn’t have
fought with you.
I wouldn’t have annoyed you, either.
Though you hurt me,
you’re still my great helper.
I should thank you.
What a surprise!
How generous you are!
Yang Jian.
You’re so loyal.
How can I repay you?
From now on,
we’re brothers.
We’ll share fortunes and misfortunes with each other.
Brother.
Brother, look!
The burning character is gone.
It means
we’ve completed the mission
to recruit General of Fine.
Good!
But we just
found the first one.
And you’re badly wounded.
How can we find the last four?
If we knew it was so hard,
we wouldn’t have
promised Master.
Miss Xiao'e.
Don’t worry.
Don’t forget. I’m with you.
You?
Can you
complete the mission for us
and find out
the last four generals?
Sure…
No…
I knew you couldn’t help.
What else can you do,
except fighting?
Why do you look down on me?
I can’t find people,
but I can save people.
Save?
With what?
With this.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Brother.
Calm down.
Don’t hurt yourself.
Don’t worry.
I’m collecting medicine
for you.
Look!
Any blood? Any?
Look!
You’re a monster!
Here you are.
Eat it when it’s fresh.
Don’t! Human flesh is poisonous.
Why is it a lotus root?
Oh, I see.
Nezha is the incarnation of lotus.
It’s not weird
his finger became a lotus root.
You’re right.
I’m non-poisonous all over.
My flesh is eatable and renewable.
As mortals,
you can do nothing but be jealous.
Oh, that explains.
You really are
a ferocious plant.
No wonder you’re dumb.
So, you can’t feel the pain
even if I hit you, can you?
Try it.
I can’t wait to hit you.
West Marquis Ji Chang
has been staying in Zhaoge,
without complaint.
Instead, he prayed for the longevity and peace
in our country.
It shows his loyalty.
I feel sorry for him.
Today,
I absolve him.
To award his loyalty,
I’ll promote him.
For the sake of his age,
I order his eldest son to come to Zhaoge
and take him back to his hometown.
It’s wise of you, Your Majesty.
It’s kind of you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
I have something to say.
You mustn’t release Ji Chang.
Only when he dies in Zhaoge
can we crash
all chances for Jiang Ziya.
Shut up!
I don’t care for Jiang Ziya.
I only care for my country.
I almost did something harmful,
when taking your own statement.
But Jiang Ziya
is the real bane to our country.
I’ve got him wanted
all over the world with a great reward.
Isn’t that enough?
Grand Priest.
If you’re capable enough,
go kill him yourself.
I won’t stop you.
But if you are not,
never mention that again.
I don’t want to hear his name ever again.
Grand Priest.
In fact,
problems between you and Jiang Ziya
are private business.
Is that your way to work for His Majesty,
by meeting your private ends
and ignoring the overall station?
Private business?
How can it be private business?
It’s national business. It’s important!
Enough.
Grand Priest.
From now on,
focus on building the Star-picking Pavilion.
You’re no longer allowed to interfere with national business.
Bo Yikao?
I heard he’s handsome
and skilled in playing the zither.
He’s known as the Saint of Zither.
What a Heaven-sent chance!
What are you going to do?
To compete with him
in playing the zither.
Messages from Zhaoge.
Why are there two messages?
Young Master.
One from His Majesty.
And the other from your father.
Okay. Thank you.
Awesome!
His Majesty absolved my father
and asked me to pick him up in Zhaoge.
Father can finally come back home.
That’s awesome!
The day finally comes.
This is a happy event.
Great happy event!
Young Master.
What did your father say
in his letter?
He asked me not to go to Zhaoge.
But why? Why?
If I guess correctly,
my father is seriously ill.
He would rather die in Zhaoge,
than accepting the kindness of His Majesty.
It’s been so many years.
I wonder
how much he has been suffering.
He hates His Majesty
so much that he doesn’t want to
forgive him even after he dies.
Yeah.
An order from the king.
And an order from my father.
I can’t disobey either of them.
What should I do now?
Young Master.
What’s your plan?
Go get my zither.
Young Master.
You’ve played the song
for ten times.
Haven’t you made up your mind yet?
I
discussed with other ministers.
We reached consensus that
you should take the order
from your father.
You mustn’t go to Zhaoge.
Yeah. You mustn’t go. You mustn’t.
You mustn’t go.
Absolutely no!
You must trust West Marquis
and follower his order.
The King of Shang is the king,
but he isn’t the one to be trusted.
When Queen Jiang died,
he cheated four marquises to Zhaoge
and killed two of them,
making a horrible disaster.
Don’t you remember
all of this?
Young Master.
You mustn’t repeat the tragedy.
Your father has been trapped in Zhaoge
for so many years.
He knows the King of Shang better than anyone else.
He must be stopping you
after much deliberation.
You must listen to him.
This trip will be doomed!
Doomed!
Yeah! Yeah!
It will be doomed!
When my father
went to Zhaoge for the queen’s funeral,
I took my father’s order
and failed to defend him.
He has been suffering
for so many years.
You know what?
Over the years,
I’ve been regretting
and worrying every day.
My father is in his declining years.
He’s tortured at his last gasp.
If I don’t go,
he will die in Zhaoge.
Tell me.
How can I bear to watch that
or how sad I could be
as his son?
Young Master.
We understand your feelings for your father.
We feel the same with you.
But…
But you’re now the Young Master
of our country.
Your safety has a bearing on
the whole country.
I must advise you
to give top priority to the overall situation,
instead of acting impetuously.
I’m the Young Master of Xiqi.
That’s why
I should keep you all out of disaster
just like my father did.
You told me that trip would be doomed.
How do I not know?
My father was in the same condition.
He knew it was a trap.
He knew he would be doomed.
But he still went there.
My father said
we wouldn’t escape from our fate
or avoid disasters.
As long as
I can get my father back safely,
I’m not afraid of danger.
And I’ll die without anything to regret.
Young Master.
Don’t go! Don’t go!
Don’t waste the efforts
your father made.
Stop persuading me.
I’ve made up my mind.
Get the carriage ready.
I’m leaving early tomorrow morning.
Xiqi?
Here I am in Xiqi?
Great award for the wanted criminal.
Jiang Shang, Jiang Ziya.
It doesn’t look like me.
Sir, what are you doing?
It needs a little more modification.
It’s the portrait of a wanted criminal.
You can’t modify it casually.
Come on. Get down.
It looks better.
It looks much better.
Luckily, we’re in Xiqi,
instead of Zhaoge.
Or you would have been dead.
Come on.
Let me help you.
Be careful. Come on.
Sir.
Where do you live?
Let us walk you home.
My home?
I live in Xiqi.
But Xiqi is so big.
Please be specific.
Anywhere.
Why are you…
so weird?
Be specific
with the address.
We’re walking you back right now.
Anywhere.
Look!
Why does he look
exactly like the one in the portrait?
Do I?
That’s me.
You’re Jiang Ziya?
That's impossible.
Well, but you look so alike.
Are you an idiot?
He just modified
the portrait.
How can he be Jiang Ziya?
Sir.
It’s boring.
Let’s go. Let’s go.
This is the wanted criminal. Don’t pretend to him.
Let’s go.
I’m not pretending.
I am Jiang Ziya.
Don’t I look like him?
Sir.
How naughty you are!
Am I?
Jiang Ziya is an important criminal.
His head
is worth a lot.
Why do you pretend to be him?
Why don’t you trust me?
I am Jiang Ziya!
Sir, I haven’t met him.
But I heard
he has great magic skills.
Look at you!
Where is your home?
Show me.
Show me the way back home.
The way back home?
I…
Fine. You don’t believe me, huh?
Let me show you
if I am the real one.
- Abracadabra. - All right.
Let’s go when it’s not crowded.
We can’t explain
when people get crowded and see you.
Let’s go. Go.
Where the hell
are you taking me?
Home!
You can’t find your way home.
We’ll go from door to door and ask for you.
We will get you home.
- Let’s go. - Where are you going to ask?
I live in Zhaoge.
Sir, please don’t lie.
You said Xiqi
and now Zhaoge.
Which is true?
I live in Zhaoge.
In fact, I’m from Xiqi.
I’m Jiang Ziya.
I’m telling the truth.
Why don’t you believe me?
Come on. You’re talking madness.
We’re unluckily today.
We’ll
no longer ask where you live.
Just tell us where you are going.
Where am I going?
I’m going to the Marquis’s mansion
for your Young Master Bo Yikao.
I understand this.
But…
Why are you going there?
I’m the important criminal.
I’ll take you to get the reward.
A great reward!
Sir.
Stop messing around.
- Come back. - Slow down.
Come on. Sir.
Stop messing around. Go.
Stop messing around. You can’t get in.
What’s the noise out there?
Young Master.
A mad old man
can’t find his home.
He insisted on meeting you.
Other guards are persuading him.
Get him in.
But…
But he’s too…
too mad.
He pretends to be the wanted criminal Jiang Ziya
and talks madness.
I’m worried that
he’ll make trouble for you.
It doesn’t matter
who he is or if he’s mad.
Since he comes here,
this is his home.
We should take him in
and treat him nicely.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Come on. Let me help you.
Don’t touch me. Leave me alone.
Awesome.
Really awesome!
Don’t move.
Sir, it’s rude of me.
No offence.
You must the eldest son of West Marquis,
Bo Yikao,
aren’t you?
Yes, I am.
If you find here a nice place,
stay as you wish.
Don’t worry.
Your families
will come to pick you.
I have no more families.
I’m not
as lucky as your father.
In this case,
I’ll have it arranged
for the rest of your life.
Awesome!
Really awesome!
What do you mean?
Everything.
After I arrived in Xiqi,
everything I met,
from soldiers to you,
all were kind and loved their people.
If I hadn’t seen that,
I wouldn’t have believed
there was
such a land of happiness in the world.
Thank you for your praise.
The peace in Xiqi
depends on my father’s kindness.
He taught us to love our people
as if they were our own children.
I never forget it.
With such a good son
like you,
your father is really lucky.
No wonder he protects you so much.
He hates to leave you.
You know my father?
I know him.
But he may not recognize me.
He owed me.
For some flour.
So…
you come for the debt?
He can’t repay me.
He owes me a family.
He can never repay me.
I come to persuade you.
Do not go to Zhaoge,
in case you might die.
Your father will be sad.
Are you really…
Who?
No matter who you are,
you can’t change my mind.
I appreciate your kindness.
Send him
to Panxi Woods to live in seclusion.
Give him the house and fields
and take good care of him.
Do it without fail.
Yes.
Wait.
Young Master.
Why don’t you ask
who I am?
It doesn’t matter.
To me,
you’re nobody,
but a homeless old man.
That’s enough.
Awesome.
Young Master.
What about
the portrait on the wall?
Tear it up.
It doesn’t look like me.
Why do you need it?
We can’t tear it up.
It’s from Zhaoge.
It’s the only copy.
We’ll have none if we tear this one up.
That’s better.
I’ll paint another one
and post it.
Yes.
Good.
Good painting.
It looks like
a real wicked man.
Is this
the real Jiang Ziya?
Why does he look like this?
This is exactly the brother
of the King of Shang.
Has anyone met Jiang Ziya?
No.
Does anyone know him
in Xiqi?
No.
I have never met him.
That’s fine.
Lord San. Lord Nangong.
Walk no more.
See you.
Young Master.
I still have a question.
What is it?
If you leave
and fail to come back,
who will be in charge of Xiqi?
If I can’t come back,
my father will return home
with honor.
What… What if…
both of you fail to come back?
I live and die with my father.
If he doesn’t come back,
I won’t, either.
If we both fail to come back,
my younger brother Ji Fa will take the throne of sovereign.
But we haven’t seen him
for years.
Where can we find them?
You don’t need to.
My grandma said
when I left Xiqi,
my brother would come back.
She must be right.
Everyone.
Walk no more.
Young Master. Wish you would come back early.
Take care and come back.
Take care, Young Master.
Come back early, Young Master.
Have a pleasant journey.
He is really benevolent.
What a pity!
I fell asleep unconsciously.
Where are we?
Brother.
Is there…
Lanying.
That’s our homeland,
Xiqi.
What? Brother went to Zhaoge?
An order came from Zhaoge that
the king absolved Father
and asked him to pick father.
So he went to Zhaoge alone
without discussing with us?
I’m afraid he knew
we would try everything we could
to stop him from going to Zhaoge
if we were aware.
We’re glad father is absolved.
But we fear brother might be in danger.
If father and brother
have an accident…
Brother.
Come and have a look.
What’s wrong?
What made you so panic?
Brother Ji Fa is back.
What?
Brother Ji Fa is back?
Brother Wu Ji.
Is this your home?
Compared with your home,
the noodle shop of our family
is exactly a pigpen.
Silly girl. From now on,
this is your home, too.
Really!
Brother Wu Ji, who are they?
Brother Ji Fa.
Why are you back?
It’s been years.
You’ve grown up.
I know
father was trapped in Zhaoge.
So I come back.
Since you knew it,
you still had the mood
to travel with a girl
and didn’t come back until now.
I come back to discuss with Brother Yikao
on how to
save our father.
Unfortunately,
Brother Yikao
isn’t here.
What do you mean?
The King of Shang gave an order
and asked him to get father back.
Just a few hours ago,
he left for Zhaoge.
Lanying, wait for me here.
Brother Wu Ji.
Wait for me.
Don’t go anywhere.
I’ll be right back.
Brother Wu Ji.
He’s expelled from Xiqi.
But he’s still arrogant
with no sense of propriety.
How impenetrable he is!
Let’s go!
Why are they
so impolite?
How dare they talk to their elder brother like that!
Hey, girl.
What’s up, Granny?
Let me touch your face.
Young Master. Have some water.
Young Master, please stop.
Young Master.
Isn’t he
the mad man
who pretended to be Jiang Ziya yesterday?
It doesn’t matter if he pretended.
I won’t let my father down
when I can protect him.
What would you like to enlighten me, Sir?
We met in a hurry yesterday
and I forgot something important.
Young Master.
Since you insist on going to Zhaoge,
I can’t stop you.
I want something from you.
I’m afraid you won’t give it to me.
Feel free to tell me.
Take anything
that I can give.
I want your zither.
How dare you ask for the zither!
That’s the lifeblood of Young Master.
Don’t be so rude.
He is creditor of our family.
Whatever he wants,
that’s okay.
Yes.
Sir.
You can ask for anything else.
But I really can’t
give you this.
I keep the zither with me all my life.
It engages with my soul.
To me,
it’s far from something.
Instead, it’s a family and a soul mate.
That’s why I want it.
I want to keep it in Xiqi.
With it, you’ll be still alive.
Go get my zither.
Yes.
Young Master.
Here you are.
In this way,
please kindly take care of this
for me.
You really are generous.
I have something to tell you.
You must keep it in mind.
It may help you.
I’m all ears.
Whatever happens,
do not show your zither-playing skill
in front of the King of Shang.
Otherwise, you’ll be dead.
I’ll keep that in mind.
Oh, the mad man.
Why is he suddenly gone?
Young Master.
Who the hell is he?
He’s the cloud above the sky
and the moon in the water.
See no more if we can’t
and ask no more if we don’t understand.
Uh…
What are you doing?
Don’t move.
Oh, sorry.
I don’t have the time to…
Don’t move when I ask you not to.
Don’t sway,
or the spirit at my fingertips
will break up.
I’m telling your fortune.
Or I’ll get it wrong.
You can tell the fortune?
You’re a rough girl
and only care for yourself.
You’re destined to have little luck.
Little luck.
Look! Look!
You’re fated to mourn your husband and son.
You’ll always be poor.
Who dares to marry
such a girl like you?
Can you really tell the fortune?
Sure.
I don’t believe you.
Tell me about the dream when I was born.
Your mother dreamed of the phenix, didn’t she?
How do you know that?
My mother had the same dream
as your mother did.
She dreamed of the phenix, too?
I lived a hard life.
My husband died at a young age.
I don’t have any son.
I have to find shelter under others’ roof.
Stop lying to me.
Why would I lie to you?
Why did I say so much to you?
Yeah.
It’s our first time to meet.
But you talk so much.
What do you want?
I think
you’re in the same situation
as I do.
And there was the same dream when we were born.
I just want to remind you.
For your own good.
What do you want then?
Miss.
Do you like
Childe Ji Fa?
How do you know that?
I can see it
even with my eyes closed.
Miss.
Do you want to
get married with him?
Get married?
Miss.
Do you already
take yourself as his wife?
I advise you
to leave him as early as you can.
It sounds cruel.
But I’m
thinking for you
and caring for you.
What do you mean?
Don’t you know?
Childe Ji Fa
was expelled by his father.
He lived a poor life
and enjoyed undeserved fame.
Miss.
Leave him as early as you can.
It’s not late.
You have bad luck.
If you get married with him,
how will you live?
I don’t even dare to think of it.
Really?
If I get married with Brother Ji Fa,
he’ll live a hard life?
How about
I introduce another lucky boy
to you?
In this way,
you’ll marry into a proper family.
Then your poor fate
in a short and poor life
can also be changed.
What do you think?
Shall we go meet him?
Granny.
I don’t know
if you can tell the fortune correctly.
But I don’t believe in fate.
Seriously?
Yes.
Besides,
it doesn’t matter Brother Wu Ji,
oh, no,
Brother Ji Fa
has a good fate or a bad one,
I’ll always stay with him.
Doesn’t it matter
even if he lives a poor life
and sleeps out on the streets?
What’s the meaning of
living a rich life?
What’s the point
when Brother Wu Ji isn’t with me?
Thank for you caring for me.
But…
Stop asking me
to leave Brother Wu Ji
anymore.
Of course.
We may
never meet again.
See you.
What a weird granny!
We met for the first time.
But she told the fortune
and spoke ill of Brother Ji Fa.
Who the hell is she?
What good luck
my grandson has
to find such a good girl!
Granny!
Why did you come out
without telling me?
I’m afraid you might be in danger.
I’ve been worried!
I’m an old lady
with poor eyesight.
Where can I go?
By the way.
Go clean up
Ji Fa’s bedroom.
And prepare something to eat
for that girl.
What do you mean?
Why is she always
talking madness lately?
Brother Yikao.
Ji Fa.
Brother Yikao.
Listen to me.
You can’t go to Zhaoge.
The King of Shang is crueler
than we imagine.
It doesn’t matter what you read on the decree.
You mustn’t go.
Nor can you believe it.
What if
something bad happens?
You’re taller
and stronger.
You’re like a real hero.
I can leave without anxiety.
Brother Yikao.
I’ll tell you what I suffered
when we go back.
I’m back
to discuss with you about
how to get father back.
You mustn’t go.
If you’re in danger,
what about Xiqi?
You really are grown up.
You care for me
and care for our country.
Brother Yikao.
Ji Fa.
Take care of father.
Since he kicked you out of Xiqi,
he has never slept
without anxiety.
You may not know it.
I have someone following you all the time.
He wasn’t relieved
until he knew
you were safe and sound.
Really?
Could you forgive him?
To be honest,
after all these years,
I’ve forgiven him already.
That’s great.
Then I can leave
without concern.
Brother Yikao.
If you insist.
I’ll go with you.
There must be a ruler for Xiqi.
We know that.
In the past or at present,
we always have
different ways to go.
Now, I’m leaving.
And you must stay to protect Xiqi.
Don’t worry.
I will come back alive.
Brother Yikao.
After I come back,
we should have a competition.
I’ll see if you have made any progress
in the sword skill.
Okay.
I promise you.
But you must promise me
to come back alive.
I will.
I’ll be waiting for you.
Brother Wu Ji has gone for long.
He should be back.
Is there anything wrong
on his way back?
Lanying.
Brother Wu Ji.
Are you still waiting for me?
You asked me to wait here,
didn’t you?
So I stayed here for you
without moving at all.
But…
Why are you coming back alone?
Didn’t you go to pick your brother?
Lanying.
We may live a hard life
in the future.
Hard?
My father and brother are away.
Now,
I have to take care of Xiqi.
As you can see,
I’ve been far away from home
for so many years.
Everyone takes me as a guilty person.
Even my brothers
treat me like that,
not to mention ministers.
I’m afraid they may treat you in the same ways
as they treat me.
Therefore,
if it's convenient for you,
I’ll send you back home.
Brother Wu Ji.
It took us so many days
to come to Xiqi.
We just arrived,
and now you’re sending me back?
You know I don’t mean that.
When I left my parents,
I was ready
to suffer.
Just some grievance.
Don’t you think I can stand it?
I’m not leaving.
Even if I have to die,
I’ll die with you.
Lanying.
I’m not afraid of anything.
From now on,
stop saying this to me.
You’re
the most important person
to me.
I know you will make it.
Thank you, Lanying.
I promise you.
After I develop Xiqi,
I will stand in front of you
in a dignified manner,
protect you
and never leave you.
I trust you.
