[Episode 6]
Let me out.
Help.
Let me out.
The coffin lids really can't hold them in.
I told you not to mention ghosts at night.
This drugged incense really works.
Servants! Hurry up and kill them faster!
Stinky and dirty! And damned ugly!
Mom, carry me.
Your shoulder blades are the prettiest.
Lao Wen, wake up.
Go! Go!
Kill!
[I didn't expect my end to be this damned ugly.]
What a darling thing.
Wen Kexing!
I'm here.
You called my name.
Why does hearing you shout my name sound so good?

I was really tricked this time.
I wasn't faking it.

A philanthropist?
It might not look that way,
but I'm really a good person.
Okay, okay, okay.
You are a good man. I am a murderer.
Satisfied?
♪I'm nameless in this world♪
You said those disgusting things
are called … tonic-men?
I just read about it in a file.
Stories say that acupuncture needles can be used
to exert godlike control over a person's senses;
then concoctions to make their bones hard as metal—
taking people who are still alive
and refining them into powerful and inexhaustible devil-men
for someone to puppet around.

Stop farting in my business.
Come again?
Honored gentleman Zhou, no matter how great your skills, [Gentleman is punning on earlier "raw"]
you can't see your own backside!
Since you can't see it, sit and be good. [be good: more puns on "raw"]

Alright.
What now?
Ah Xu.
Your ability to to change your look has a few flaws. [Or: You might look easy, but your energy falls short]
Head, face, neck, all polished to a shine,
But on your body, you got distracted rubbing yourself before you finished.
Still won't admit it, eh?
Can't I bask in the sun?
Ah Xu,
who is it you're trying so hard to hide from?
I'm mostly thinking of hiding from you.
Me?
You can hide, but you won't shake me.
But, if you're disguising yourself
to avoid someone else,
that's not necessary.
Now that I'm by your side,
you can let your enemies do as they please.
Whether they're the highest god or the wisest sage, a great cultivator or a crazy ghost,
- I can and— - How?
Have you even met a god or Buddha? Could you kill one?
Accusations, accusations!
I, Wen, am someone who cares about all the people in the world.
Why bring up evil killing?
I'll be persuasive.
No matter who your enemy is,
I'll use virtue to convince them,
snow them under with classics quotes to confuse them,
to persuade them to give up their evil,
and put down their butcher knives.
Ah Xu.
Now,
We're friends in life or death, in sickness and adversity,
Can't you let me take a look at your original appearance, hm?
An authentic, open-hearted regard requires mutuality. [坦诚相见: a deep friendship built on trust]
This is my original appearance!
Warranty replacement if fake! Not cheating anyone!
Don't believe me? Touch me and see.
People who have seen my true face
are almost all dead.
What a coincidence!
I, Wen, fear all sorts of things, all over the place,
But as it happens I'm unafraid of death.
Your disorder is serious. Show me.
Don't think your own skills are enough to suppress it.
If you try to thoughtlessly show off, over time,
it'll hurt you clear through.
It's my disease
I know myself best.
I don't need you poking at me.
If you're gone,
[quoting poetry] Thousands of peaks in the snowy twilight
My lonely wings carry me over, But who is at journey's end?
[Note: this poem is about a pair of geese where one of them was caught and killed, and the other one was so heartbroken that they deliberately flew into the side of a mountain and killed themself to join their mate. It's one of the many reasons pairs of geese are symbolic of soulmates, and a goose flying alone over the mountains is symbolic of pining and loss.]
Go where you like, end it with whom you like.
Ah Xu, you still won't admit you're disguised?

Ah Xu. Stop playing around. Come out now.
Ah Xu!
What are you looking at?
Okay, okay, Ah Xu!
Stop it.
I won't tease you anymore.
Got any wine?
A-Xiang's not here.
And we don't have anything to heat the wine in. [Or: I don't want my partner to lack hot wine]
Internal power can warm things up
For now, just accept it, okay?
Anyway it's better than cold. [Or: Don't be a stubborn cunt]
Lao Wen.
Is that your real family name?
I really didn't lie to you.
A modest gentleman, warm [Wen] and slick as jade
You don't think this family name suits me well?
That looks like it's the Soul-Tangling Thread Box.
Back in the day, Hanged Ghost relied heavily
on the uncanny Soul-Tangling Thread Box
when he ran amok through the Jianghu.
I didn’t expect this bro would become a proper ghost today.
Nice to get a pretty one out of it, though.
That wasn't Hanged Ghost.
Ah Xu, you know a lot about the Ghost Valley.
Don't think it's that much.
But that individual was extremely much too young
Back when Hanged Ghost made his name,
that man had to be still a baby.
Where's the real Hanged Ghost?
Right or wrong person, he's gone and not worth discussing.
but this pretty darling is genuine goods at a fair price.
If Hanged Ghost is really alive,
How'd his pretty baby end up falling into someone else's hands, hm?
Careful
These things need to be opened in a very particular manner,
by someone with skill, or you could get hurt.
You'd already come back to your senses,
So why'd you go wild hit man on the fake Hanged Ghost?
There are so many questions
that needed him among the living to answer.
A caring heart leads to chaos.
You didn't know that?
Your daddy is really hungry.
Lao Wen, go get me something I can eat.
Why can't you go it yourself?
Fine fine fine, I'll go, I'll go.
You rest while you can.
Zhou Zishu.
He really is
Zhou Zishu.
[Scorpion King - Leader of Scorpion]
Oh wonderful.
I originally thought
Qin Song's magic music was unrivaled in the world,
so, I didn't expect
the real master to be here.
Long-Tongued Ghost was so lucky
to receive your instruction in using the magic music.
To control people this way is an awesome skill;
Indeed, my Changing Ghost self is so very jealous.
As it happens,
He's already dead.
Dead?
Really dead?
No. Who did it?
Where's the Soul-Tangling Thread Box?
You're asking me?
I wanted to ask you the same thing.
Where's the Glazed Gadget?
Wasn't me. I got the Glazed Gadget,
but then I had to go to Sanbai Manor
so I could dispose of Ao Laizi's corpse.
To prevent a delay,
I sent Long-Tongued Ghost
to ensure the Glazed Gadget got here.
You have so many tonic-men here,
And there's the crazy-making incense,
And there's the Soul-Tangling Thread Box.
It should be a sure thing!
Scorpion King, shouldn't you have
come sooner to receive the Glazed Gadget?
Shouldn't you—
Changing Ghost.
Are you blaming this king for arriving late?
Oh, I wouldn't dare.
Never mind.
I also didn't expect anyone to actually manage
to speed through all these layers of obstructions,
and break in.
This business …
the more I get involved, the more amusing it is.
The Glazed Gadget?
How did it end up hidden in the Soul-Tangling Thread Box?
Only ghosts would know. [Idiom: who the hell knows?]
Just take it and be done.
This whatsit
has to do with revealing the secret of the World's Arsenal.
Who knows how many people in the world
broke heads and shed blood to try to get this.
You just handed it to me so you'd get
a pair of rabbits? OR: the second twink of the pair?
The hare [twink] might possibly fill the great hall of my body.
Way better than this toy. OR: This cunt's too strong for little tricks.
Ah Xu.
You're really not interested in this thing?
Nonsense.
Bright clouds scatter, Colored glass shatters.
Dealing with that sounds wretched.
This ominous thing, why would I want it?
Ah Xu.
I used to think you spouted hard but your heart was soft.
I didn't anticipate your mouth would be so venomous! OR: that your spout would rise so fiercely and so erect.
There's so much you don't know.
My mouth/spout is not only fierce
but also ruthless and merciless.
You should choose wisely.
Oh yes, you're so ruthless. OR: Then be erect and ruthless.
You know this ghost stuff is ominous,
But you still gave it to me OR: you're still squeezing me in.
Aren't you afraid I'll cause some new disaster?
You yourself are a disaster.
Why would you worry?
If you don't feel like you want it
throw it out.
Absolutely not!
This is the first gift
our Ah Xu has given me.
I can't bear to throw it away.
I'll need to get some silk
so I can hang it on my body.
Every day I'll enjoy it.
But, Ah Xu.
Do you think this Glazed Gadget
is the chunk Zhao Jing had
or the one from Zhang Chengling's family?
If Ghost Valley already got Changeling's Glazed Gadget chunk,
There's no need to use every available method to kidnap Changeling.
This morning, I got the feeling Ao Laizi
and Shen Shen were at odds.
Last night, his dead body conveniently showed up at Sanbai Manor's gate.
Ah Xu.
you don't think there's something odd behind this?
Ghost Valley is sowing discord.
Before Lu Taichong died,
He handed everything over to Ao Laizi
and not to his brothers.
This immediately made the Five Lakes Alliance lose face.
Ghost Valley deliberately smeared
the blood of Mount Tai Sect
on the face of the Five Lakes Alliance
to draw the attention of rumormongers.
Stop asking about this.
If you're unbearably bored,
come with me and we'll wash and strip these rabbits [or these twinks].
These rabbits were entirely my kills! [OR: This twink has already been fetched/tied up!]
Why demand I go and wash?
Wash or don't wash.
Won't wash? Won't eat.
Ah Xu, I'll wash! Good enough?
Childish.
Ah Xu.
Chengling, how was your sleep last night?
Is your appetite poor?
This whole journey has really made you suffer so much.
Chengling, your oldest uncle is constantly writing with concern for you.
So, we can't rest any longer.
We all need to mount up and get going.
But, this time, your bobo is here.
Bobo will take very good care of you.
Thank you, bobo, for your care.
Why are your eyes swollen?
Did you cry?
I didn't.
Chengling, the pair of honorable heroes from yesterday
left this morning without saying goodbye.
I don't know whether I slighted them somehow.
Also, I didn't have time to chat with them much.
Are they friends of your father?
This little nephew doesn't know.
You didn't know them, and you attached yourself to them?
Yesterday, it seemed you'd rushed all the way and there were many people and eyes everywhere.
Now the two of them have gone, and the time is right.
Quick, tell us, talk to us about
Mirror Lake Manor and the night of the incident.
What was it that really occurred?
This little … little nephew doesn't remember.
Preposterous!
We're your dad's sworn brothers!
What are you not daring to tell us?
Little nephew was too frightened that day.
After … after, I had a high fever for several days.
I came back to myself later with uncles Zhou and Wen at my side.
Since then, the events of that matter …
this little nephew doesn't remember a thing.
Wu-di! Behave!
You don't remember how your mom and dad died so wretchedly?
Mirror Lake Manor's three hundred plus human lives,
you've forgotten all of them?
Wu-di.
You don't remember any of it?
Then, are you going to say this—
this bloody ocean of deep enmity [blood feud]— we should cross it out and write it off?
You don't talk like that to a child!
Chengling, it's fine.
Your fifth uncle is simply impatient.
This enmity, we will do what we must to repay them.
I, your fifth uncle, and your dad are sworn brothers.
We had some misunderstandings in the past,
But a broken bone is held together by the muscles. [nothing can sever family affection, from 阎丰乐《县委书记》]
Your dad's business
is our business.
From now on, you are my own biological son.
Er-ge, the situation is urgent!
Of five Glazed Armor pieces, three are missing.
The Glazed Armor pieces belonging to you and Lu-san-ge must have been taken by Ghost Valley.
Without getting a clear understanding of this affair, how can we be calm?
This child is clearly—
He's a child! What can he know?
Wait until Yueyang.
Da-ge will take charge of it all.
Chengling, Zhao-bobo will be there through it all.
Don't be afraid.
We're late.
—Zhao-da-ge. —Zhao-da-ge. —Hero Shen.
Sorry, sorry.
Hero Shen.
Zhao-da-ge.
I heard you're setting out soon to travel to Yueyang.
That's right. There's still some time before the assembly of heroic men,
But, I would like to go back a little early
to see if I can help with anything.
Besides, my da-ge has also been worried about Chengling.
I don't know if you two have plans after this.
If you don't, why not come with us?
We can look after each other on the road.
Not a problem, not a problem! [Mu Siyuan - Lord of Broken Sword Manor]
Not a problem, not a problem!
Yu-xiong, where is Tianjie?
My beloved disciple He Ruicai has been missing for days without a trace.
Tianjie is searching for where he could have gone.
Anyway, recently times have been troubled.
It would be better to restrict your inner and outer disciples for a little while.
As much as possible, don't let them go out.
Er-ge.
Stop building up others' courage and ruining your own prestige.
That pack of devils is only accustomed to swarming in the shadows and using degenerate tricks to secretly murder people.
If anyone dares to comes out to play the evil spirit, I'll put their souls to rest!
Wu-di, don't be lighthearted and lose focus.
Think about it. The whole world has been peaceful for such a long time.
When was the last time everyone was so anxious?
So, I'm still hoping our da-ge
can lead all the heroic men of China
to extirpate Ghost Valley in one blow.
Then we'll have even more peace. [reach enlightenment]
Very true! Very true.
[Zhao Coffin Home]
What the hell! [Lit: See ghosts!]
Could last night's debacle have been just a vivid hallucination?
It hasn't been more than a few hours!
The other side's already erased all traces of last night.
A disorganized bunch couldn't possibly manage that.
Ah Xu.
What was the source of the strange, encrazing fragrance last night?
If you'd rather not explain, then don't.
I won't press it.
Don't run away!
Ah Xu, walk slower! Wait for me!
It was here! … right?
Right. Yesterday evening, that strung-up bacon was hanging right here.
At least tell me the name of that incense, okay?
It's called "Lush's Languor".
So, why do you have an antidote?
Why did "Lush's Languor" show up, now, in Huzhou?
Could it be that the Window of Heaven is getting entangled with Ghost Valley?
Ah Xu, why are you ignoring me?
Since you know the cure,
you must know where it comes from.
Can you get me two boxes?
No way.
Don't refuse so quickly.
I'll pay serious money for it.
Whatever you want—I'll make it happen.
In the fairyland of the incense,
people see the things their inner hearts long for most.
Wen-xiong.
The whole time you were affected, you kept calling for one person by name.
What did you see?
Ah Xu, ah ….
I thought you were a decent man.
This kind of personal affair of the heart,
you directly asking me
is really moving too fast.
[This man's whole self is a cloud of riddles.]
[And he knows Four Seasons Manor extremely well.]
[What connection does he have to my sect?]
Okay, okay, okay.
I'll tell you, okay?
What I saw in the fantasy was …
Back when I was tiny, in my mom's bed,
I threw a dead mouse.
When she found it,
She chased and beat me for three blocks.
Ah Xu, I won't talk nonsense anymore.
I'm babbling wildly to you
because I don't want to lie or deceive you.
"Lush's Languor"
is a kind of peculiar medicine mainly made from Forgetwort.
As long as someone only takes a little bit,
they'll sleep for six or seven days and have beautiful, intoxicating dreams.
In the coffin home, the stuff burning
had more or less the same ingredients.
But it's much stronger than my version,
so it makes people hallucinate.
You made this stuff?
"Lush's Languor" came from an ancient prescription.
I just adapted it to burn as incense.
and decreased its medical effect to use it as a sleep aid.
In recorded history there's been no Forgetwort in the Central Plains
I don't know where the other side could have gotten it.
"Lush's Languor".
What a good name.
The path of life is difficult and dangerous, and human hearts are full of evil ghosts.
Can your eyes see anything that's worth staying awake?
Forever dreaming without waking— why not?
Then you can laze around and dream.
Ah Xu!
[Sanbai Manor]
Constable Gang, what brings you here?
Cut the nonsense.
Quickly, ask your master to come be hospitable.
The carriage has an official who's come from the Northwest.
If he's slighted, we'll all have to face the consequences.
It's genuinely unfortunate, my master has gone somewhere faraway.
Sir, I'm sorry.
My master, Hero Shen, and the rest
already left to travel to Yueyang.
On July 15, the Five Lakes Alliance
Will convene an assembly of heroic men
to propose a project to violently suppress the Ghost Valley.
The Zhang family orphan also went with them?
Sir, the young master Zhang …
[So, Han Ying has also come to Jiangnan!]
[It seems that the Window of Heaven]
[really has gotten involved in the Glazed Gadget matter.]
General assembly of heroic men?
Sounds like it might actually be properly lively.
Ah Xu, what are you hiding from?
Why … are you afraid of encountering cops?
Or maybe …
Are you a fugitive criminal?
Yup. I've killed people, set fires— there's no evil I haven't done.
Wen The Great Philanthropist, stay away from me.
Do you pluck flowers, or no? [sneak in at night and rape women]
Okay, okay.
I won't joke around anymore.
How about it?
The assembly of heroic men will be properly lively.
Going or not?
Do you want to come so you can help me kill people?
Or are you coming to help set the fires?
Obviously it's so we can watch the excitement together.
Where else in the world could be as fun [OR: What cunt could be as warm to go in]
As this excitement? [OR: or as good looking?]
Even more—
it's a dogfight—a big furor of fur and teeth.
No matter how far away, that demands going to see it.
The assembly of heroic men is a pack of squabbling dogs
The Five Lakes Alliance faction hates that they can't tie Chengling to their waists.
So many people, one lone chick with no safe perch to land on.
Everyone around him are sly fox cunts and old dog jizz.
What a pity, what a pity.
Even when you're quiet, no one would treat you like you're mute.
Then I'll leave first, to look for my A-Xian,
to give her some instructions on some small matters.
I'll get there soon, Ah Xu.
Zhao-da-ge really knows how to enjoy his pleasures.
Little brother and Zhao-da-ge, this whole journey
has surely used up all my luck with none left over! [so extravagant it invites karmic backlash]
My Er-ge
is the son-in-law of the magnificent West Zhejiang's First Civilian Envoy.
He acts like he's frail, flabby, and fancy,
and we act like boorish Jianghu men. So thrown together on the road,
he's afraid we'll poke fun at him.
Oh, he's shrinking into himself so much!
You only know how to make fun of me.
Isn't this really on account of Chengling?
He goes and stops, goes and stops.
How long will it take to get Chengling to Yueyang?
Honored sir.
Come and look. What would you like?
Hair fork, ring, hair stick, pendant? Pearls, jades, gold, silver?
We're small but we've got it all!
Colored glass, can you make it?
You've come to the right place!
Hundreds of miles around,
Nobody's skill at making colored glass
Can compare to that of our family!
I want to place an order for thirty exact copies of this.
I'm in a rush to catch up with someone. Can I pick them up tomorrow?
Honored sir … you sound like a layman.
Ordinary custom orders of colored glass
take at least ten days to half a month, you know?
Your bauble here is the work of an expert. Sparkling, translucent, pure and limpid.
I have to heat my furnace first, and then—
Okay okay okay!
Honored Sir, three days.
Give me three days.
I'll have them ready on time.
Either I come back in three days and get my order,
Or three days from now,
I'll come to burn your shop down.
Okay! Don't worry! Delivery on time!
I won again.
I lose again.
Not playing again! Not playing again!
Another game and I'll lose my skirt!
Xiang-jiejie loses and mmediately quits the game.
It's good not to gamble your things.
Hong Lu, what do you say?
Jiejie's words are right.
Xiang-jiejie, don't do this kind of thing.
I'm telling you two,
I just haven't learned to play this game!
If we play Pai Gow,
I'll come back so strong I'll win your skirt And your underwear too!
But we're only three, we're short one.
Xiang-jiejie, what time will Master return?
You're already thinking about Master?
Please don't tease me.
I'm only thinking about
how Xiang-jiejie saved these wretched sisters.
So, with all our heart and all our ability,
we'll serve you and Master to repay your kindness.
But recently, every day we just play like children.
Our hearts are uneasy, that's all.
Stop talking about it.
You're talking all grand to cover up how you're missing Master.
It's useless to lecture you.
Why's it useless?
Master!
Master! Us three were missing one, and it's you!
Ungrateful.
Servant girl, why worry about me?
Look how they are.
These capable people are loyal servants,
unlike you, servant girl.
As soon as you left the valley, you threw off the reins and turned into a feral horse.
Your whole soul only worries how to win your little games.
This fate of master and servant isn't an easy one.
A-Xiang.
Later, weigh out 100 taels of silver for these two young ladies.
You should go home.
A good start and hard work
ought to be enough for you to settle down
and find your path in life.
Please, Master!
Don't disdain these two silly sisters!
We needed the mercy of Master and Xiang-jiejie just to escape from the depths of misery.
We pledge to accompany you two for the rest of our lives, birth to death!
We will continue to repay you in our next lives.
Accompanying us for the rest of your lives?
You say it like it's easy.
Gu Xiang.
What did I command of you previously?
Master.
This A-Xiang specially prepared this for you!
Wolong's famous nuts.
Big plump spheres! Fragrant, crisp and tasty!
I queued for them. Have a taste.
You must have been paid off,
to praise them so blatantly.
What are you talking about?
A-Xiang wants to offer only the best to Master!
How is it? Not bad, right?
You have some good taste.
From now on, we'll buy our nuts from this store.
Master, A-Xiang can't take credit for buying them.
Yun Zai and Hong Lu bought them.
They had the idea to go and queue up to purchase them.
My good master.
They're both orphans.
There's no one they can rely on.
Outside is so messed up!
I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to survive even with money.
Master, please let them stay.
Master, please take pity on us.
The world is difficult.
For our whole lives, we've been treated like kittens and puppies, unimportant and cheaply sold.
Only Xiang-jiejie acts like we're people worth caring for.
Please, Master, let us stay and serve you.
That's right, Master!
We wish for this in our hearts.
Fine.
Thank you, Master.
Since this is by mutual consent,
these two young women
will be your slave girls from now on.
You sowed the seeds of this,
so you will be responsible for the consequences.
I won't interfere.
Yes. Thank you, Master.
Since I took them in, I'll definitely protect them in every way!
We'll see if you have the capability.
You two may leave first.
Yes.
You, come here.
I have two things I need you to go and do.
The first task must be accomplished as quickly as possible.
The second task, we must discuss thoroughly.

♪I don't mind hate and slander, but my melancholy persists♪
♪The spring breeze brings greenery along the river♪
♪But can't warm my cold heart♪
♪Is that our light out of nowhere?♪
♪I regret not meeting you earlier, but we've finally met now♪
♪Don't let the seasons pass in vain♪
♪Give up the adventures on horseback for a peaceful quiet life♪
