Long live Your Majesty
Rise
Thank you, Your Majesty
Your Majesty
The prayer ceremony is ready
Please preside
You are here
You can do it
Yes, Your Majesty
Recently
rumor has it that in Chang'an
a snake monster has invaded into the city
Some even spread the rumor that
Tang is about to be doomed
Hence
His Majesty holds the prayer ceremony in person
and executes the prisoners
to abide by the Heavenly will
pray for the prosperity of Tang
and expel the monster
Your Majesty
don't believe the rumor
There is no snake monster
Please be wisely noted
Nonsense
Drag him away
You scum
Go rot in hell
Rot in hell!
Scum
Rot in hell!
Time is up
The prayer ceremony begins
[Special Police and Snake Revenge]
Kowtow
Your Majesty
This is the baleful snake monster
The clay Bodhisattva shows its magic
May Heaven bless Tang
The clay Bodhisattva shows its magic
May Heaven bless Tang
Wonderful
Tang is blessed by Heaven
Congratulations, Your Majesty
Tang will be saved
[As colorful clothes land in Chang'an, the emperor won't return]
Does it want me dead?
Execute the prisoners
Worship the clay Bodhisattva
[Chengtian Gate]
Don't be bewitched by the snake monster
You are all deceived
This is a conspiracy
Protect His Majesty
Your Majesty
Come on
Let's go
[Chengtian Gate]
Miao people?
Freeze
Don't play tricks
Your Lordship
Stop him
Lord Left Prime Minister, long time no see
You know me?
You are the one
who made me the condemned prisoner
Who are you?
A special officer, Wang Xuan
It's normal that you don't remember me
Of course you won't pay attention to
a small potato like me
Take him down
Hold up
I can help you
investigate the assassination
I can interrogate the arrested assassins
Why should I keep you?
You
even killed the accomplices of the assassin
So unprofessional
Hold up
Your Lordship
No case was unsolved when I was in office
This case is obviously done by the Miao people
The accomplices are always loyal
They won't reveal each other's identity
But I've got some clues
Tell me
If I tell you everything
do I stand a chance of living?
How dare you!
Time
With enough time
I can surely arrest the assassin
What's your catch?
Freedom
Freedom only
Here is the poison
Take it
and your arm
will gradually turn dark purple
If you cannot bring the assassins back
before the next prayer ceremony
the poison will take effect and you will die
If you succeed in arresting the assassin
your freedom will be granted
Thank you, Your Lordship
However
if you let others make it first
you will die too
Noted
That's all for
today's prayer ceremony
The clay Bodhisattva shows magic
It shall save the people
Ten days later
all the Tang people must worship it together
What are you doing?
Filthy beggar
Put it down
Let it go. Did you hear me?
Stop
Freeze
Don't cry
Dad, I'm hungry
You will have food soon
How much is this?
Miss
Food for her will be enough
I don't want her
May the clay Bodhisattva bless me
The clay Bodhisattva is divine
It shall bless the people
Ghosts will be shunned
Monsters will be subdued
Ghosts will be shunned
Monsters will be subdued
The clay Bodhisattva is divine
It shall bless the people
The clay Bodhisattva is divine
It shall bless the people
Ghosts will be shunned
Monsters will be subdued
Ghosts will be shunned
Monsters will be subdued
My blood will be drained
To nourish Bodhisattva's soul
My blood will be drained
To nourish Bodhisattva's soul
The clay Bodhisattva is divine
It shall bless the people
The clay Bodhisattva is divine
It shall bless the people
The Clay Bodhisattva Sect is so powerful
How dare you mess with them?
Farewell
What can I do for you?
His Majesty was assassinated in Chang'an
The silver needles were delicately designed
The back of the needles were engraved with a pattern
In Chang'an or even the whole Tang
only you can be
so skillful
Wang Xuan
You have a good memory
I thought you were in the condemned cell
You want me dead?
For so many years
this saber
is my most satisfying work
Why are you blind?
Long story short
It was because
I didn't believe in the Clay Bodhisattva Sect
that they ruined my eyes
It's even better
Out of sight, out of mind
Is the Clay Bodhisattva Sect so powerful?
You don't know about this
The Clay Bodhisattva Sect
is said to be very efficacious
after it was introduced from the Miao area
In my opinion
it is only
some bewitching tricks
What a trivial trick!
Let's get down to business
Who asked you to forge
the silver needles?
Keeping the secret for my client
is my rule
Rules
are set by men
You know me
Fine
These silver needles
were booked by a girl
the other day
The girl was very mysterious
Without saying anything
she threw down the money and left
You are blind
How can you know it was a girl?
By smelling
Gentleman
Have a drink
Are we here to drink the wine?
It's okay
No rush
Madam
When on earth will they finish?
Very soon
I'll urge them
No rush
Your Lordship
Look
My girls
are all law-abiding
They are definitely not assassins
Look
He has smelt several times
When will this be over?
I need to do the business
These are all the girls you've got?
Yeah, all of them are here
If you mess with me
you know the consequences
A few of them
are not available
Why are they not available?
They are serving
several distinguished guests upstairs
I dare not offend them
Besides
everything here takes money
Can you afford to offend me?
Of course not
Bring them downstairs and serve here
Yes
Girls
Come down here
Who is he?
What is he doing?
He is the special officer
We can't afford to offend him
Let's go
Wait a minute
This is the one
Irrelevant people
either leave or die
Who are they?
Bounty hunters
They followed me here
to take advantage
Last night, you and I just acted on impulse
Why did you have to chase me?
Don't flatter yourself
I'm here for the bounty
Ask the girl to come here
Let's have a drink
Let's go
Don't panic
Don't make me play the hard ball
I must show you what I've got
A snack for the drink
She is mine
Interesting
So stupid
He cannot even deal with the clones
Exchange the things for the wine
Cheers
Phew
Enough
Don't hinder us from making money
Making money?
You acted even before you saw the assassin clearly
She is the assassin, isn't she?
She?
Her scent
is correct
but she
is not the one
Look at this
Leave
Don't be so impulsive next time
I know you are forced
to apply her perfume to yourself
but if
I say you are the assassin
you will be the assassin
Show me the direction
Where is she?
You get lost
It's you
You don't want to arouse attention
Come back with me
in case of suffering pain
It depends on whether you are capable
Chang'an is in a state of siege
You can hardly escape
It won't be so easy
to catch me
Escaping
is also not easy
Look
They are cuddling
What are you looking at?
Go back home
Arrest the assassin
You still want to escape?
Assassin
Over there
Put it over there
Easy does it
Easy
You two lazybones, get up
Put it over there
I'm pissed off
Unbelievable
Hey
Your Lordship
You must do justice for me
Check this out
How can I proceed with the business?
You are dying
And you are still thinking about doing business?
How can I know she is an assassin?
She has been here for several days only
At your service
Whatever you ask for
Show me the way
This way, Your Lordship
[Floral Courtyard]
Your Lordship
This is her room
I've long disliked the woman
She always refused to serve the clients
And she came and went like a shadow
What trouble
has she made?
But
what she did
doesn't matter
Most importantly
she shouldn't offend you
These days
I will have a few new girls
What kind of girl do you like?
I'll send her to your mansion
You will be satisfied for sure
Hey
You have a good eye
This
is the perfume from the Western Region
If you like it
I can send you a few bottles later
Your Lordship
You like
the fan too?
Just take whatever else you like
Mine is yours
Your Lordship
I really have nothing to do with
this matter
How about this?
If I find any clues
I'll let you know at once
I've known that girl
for a few days only
I don't even know who she is
She always stayed in her room after she came
I didn't see her hanging out with anyone
If there is something wrong
please put in a good word for me
Clay Bodhisattva Village

Did a strange woman come to the village these days?

The Clay Bodhisattva Sect really does harm to the people
So, we meet again
I didn't think you'd make it this far
Who do you work for?
I am Miao
My name is Lin Yue
I'm not an assassin
I'm trying to save Tang
Save Tang?
By killing the emperor?
The emperor has been bewitched
I want to wake him up
The man I want to kill is the Left Prime Minister
What is this Clay Bodhisattva Village for?
All the clay statues in the country
are made of the clay of the island
and manufactured here
What are you doing here?
The clay of which the statues are made contains poison
It causes hallucinations
I came here
looking for a cure
A cure?
Follow me back to Chang 'an
The Clay Bodhisattva Village is surrounded by water
There is no return
You can not get out
It's enough that you can get out
You can't get away
Then let's make a deal
You help me find the cure
and I will get you out of here
Where is the cure?
It's right here
Aoqi
Listen to my order
The clay Bodhisattva shows magic
Repeat
Begin
Listen to my order
The clay Bodhisattva shows magic
Repeat
Begin
Listen to my order
The clay Bodhisattva shows magic
Repeat
What is the secret of this clay Bodhisattva?
Since you don't trust me
see for yourself
Repeat
Begin
The clay Bodhisattva shows magic
Listen to my order
Cai Guang Ji Qi Ba Huo
Ma Ren Shui Yan Tian Jia
As I wish
you shall be God
To nurture my heart
give me your blood
I'll give you poison
Your arm
will turn dark purple
After ten days
the poison will take effect and you will die
The man in the official uniform is a spy
Catch him
Don't you remember me?
I'm one of you
I'm here to catch the assassin under the order of the Left Prime Minister
The Left Prime Minister instructed that
only the dead could leave this place
It's a cliff ahead and there's no way out
Then you're still running around?
Kill them
Go down and wait for me
Go
Search along the river
Make sure you find them
Yes
The cure
What do you want?
If I don't cure your leg
how can you return to Chang 'an with me?
You have already known about the Left Prime Minister
Taking me back
won't save your life
What are you looking at?
The poison
will soon kill you
Care about me?
If I don't take you back to Chang 'an
I will die as well
I can handle
your poison
Can I trust you?
The cure is on you
You can destroy it anytime you want
if you don't believe me
Sure
Got it fixed
No thanks?
You took advantage of me and...
Thank you
Let's go
Where to go?
Cure me
Could you hurry up?
Wait for me in front
Your horse
Stop the thief!
The rustler
Stop the thief!
Here is the money for the horse
Thank you for the horse
What did you say?
I said
thank you
Get down
Follow the sound of the bell
This is the signal to show us the way
You don't need to do so
I can do it myself
This way
What is this place?
Our people live in seclusion here
to escape the war
Then why did you assassinate the emperor?
There has always been tribal strife
in our homeland
until a master named Aoqi came along
and unified all the tribes
But those who wanted peace
were either exiled or killed
I became an orphan at that time
Aoqi covets the land of the Tang Empire
He created the Clay Bodhisattva Sect
to bewitch people
What's the secret of the clay Bodhisattva?
There is something hallucinogenic
in the clay of which the statues are made
It will make people feel refreshed
when it reaches the skin
Over time
people will be numb
and do as told
The giant Buddha in Chang 'an...
Yes
It deceives the emperor and the people
If Chang'an eventually falls into the hands of Aoqi
it will become
living hell
Hurry up
The poison is going to spread all over your body
What are you looking at?
I must
honor my promise
We're almost there
Where are you going?
You guys are pretty close
You take us back to the Left Prime Minister
I will tell him everything
You...
This is a delaying tactic
The poison
will soon kill you
The Left Prime Minister instructed that
only the dead could leave this place
Are you sure the disappearance case was done by a foreign master?
I'll report to the Left Prime Minister right away
The Left Prime Minister is so powerful
and you still dare to provoke him
Even Chief Zhang is in trouble because of you
I'm gonna teach you a lesson today
Slow down
Slow down, you guys
This kid
Be careful
You are up
It's good to be young
Whether it's poison or injury
you recover faster than an old guy like me
Why did you save me?
What do you mean?
You put me on death row first
and you made me take poison and arrest the girl days ago
The Hu girl came to kill me
under your orders
What the hell are you doing?
The current Left Prime Minister
is not me
Six months ago
a master Aoqi from the Miao area came to visit me
He had an unusual figure
and he wanted me to help him
promote the Clay Bodhisattva Sect in Chang 'an
The Clay Bodhisattva Sect that
this person preached is a good religion
that can make the country peaceful
and the people secure
I saw nothing wrong
so I allowed him to preach
Clay Bodhisattva Sect
spread quickly in Chang'an
attracting a large number of congregants
At the same time, officials opposing to the Clay Bodhisattva Sect
were mysteriously missing
That day, a special chief came to report that he had found evidence that
the Clay Bodhisattva Sect had kidnapped officials in the court
I believed Aoqi's words
and put him
and his subordinates
in prison
After that
I became wary of the Clay Bodhisattva Sect
After much investigation
I finally discovered the secret in the statue
You said this clay statue was harmless
but why did my servant
faint because of poison?
I will give you three days to leave Chang 'an
or
I will take your life
Run, Your Lordship
Aoqi disguised himself as me
and advised the emperor to popularize the Clay Bodhisattva Sect
The emperor accepted it
and decided to build a clay Bodhisattva reaching the heaven
And the emperor began to drive out all those who opposed it
I was badly wounded at that time
and desperately needed a place to stay
And here I am
after wandering around
I did not expect that
there are people like Lin Yue
who have courage, martial capabilities
and concern about the world in this village
Suffering from wars since childhood
they understand that the Tang Emperor is the foundation of national peace
They are willing to help me protect the country
Now the emperor has been deceived by the wicked
For the country
and the people
we are gonna save the
country with all our efforts
Young man
I'm the one who wronged you
I apologize to you
If you hadn't consented to Aoqi's request
if you hadn't helped him preach
you wouldn't be here today
You said
you wanted to serve the country and people
When will you serve us?
For the Tang Empire
We, special officers
are naturally sacrificed
What the Clay Bodhisattva Sect has done in Chang'an
was caused by me
For Tang, I shall terminate it
For Tang?
Prove it to me
I need your assistance
Forget about it!
Don't get me involved in such things
You, as a special officer
should be clear about loyalty and duty
I have done enough of loyalty and duty
It's not worth it
But you should at least
protect the people of Chang'an from the evil sect
shouldn't you?
If I protect the people
who will protect me?
Who will collect my corpse?
You are young and capable
I was poisoned
Your poison
was eliminated long ago by the villager with herbs
I am grateful to them
Here is my advice
This place is really good
Just live a good life here
and forget your useless patriotism
You
saved me once
I will not forget it
Time for dinner!
Thanks
This is yours
Smells good!
Come on
Take your time
Thanks
Here is more
No need to rush
Here you are
Thank you
It's hot!
Brother, here you are
Wow!
Terrific!
Awesome!
Fill more antidotes into the tubes
Tiepen
Qihu
Follow my actions
Well
Here we go
When you're grilling fish
you should turn it over in time
There is a restaurant in Chang'an, where the grilled fish tastes so good
Next time you go there
I will treat you to that
It's still early in the morning
What's up?
We are going to Chang'an
You really don't wanna come with us?
No, I don't
We are not the same
We want different things
I just don't understand
Why don't you stay here and live a good life?
Isn't this place good?
Brother!
What're you doing?
Let's have some fun?
Brother
wait for me!
If this can last forever
it is surely good
Brother
Sister Lin let me give you this
Come in
Your clothes have been mended
Thanks
You are leaving now?
I have to make it back before the next prayer ceremony
Chang'an is now
packed with bewitched people and cultists
The antidotes against the hallucination
have been prepared these days
Even if the emperor cannot be saved
saving a few lives will be good enough
Are you coming with me?
I just don't get it
You're just a young girl
Why do you have such an ambition?
I just want peace for everyone
Peace for everyone?!
I have no idea what you've experienced
So, I won't force you
But I hope you can understand
the right to choose
is always in our own hands
Ridiculous
You serve others today, and they will serve you later
Where are the others?
Every time I was in need of help
where the hell did they go?
Wake up!
The jujube in here
is sweet!
Take care
Why are you still here?
I've helped the villagers settle down
I'll set off tomorrow
Wanna talk me down again?
Saving Chang'an will be fine without me
One more person
leads to one more hope
Hope?
Your hope
is fake
A fake hope
is still a hope
Well
I hope you'll make it
Hope
There are not so many hopes
I am aware that
Chang'an
no one waiting for me there
But, if
we don't go
back to Chang'an now
Chang'an will no longer exist
Chang'an
Do as told by your mother
Yes
Bring him up
And let him forget revenge
Brother, where are you going?
Home
Brother
where is your home?
Chang'an
[Supreme Being Palace]
From the beginning of the universe
offerings have been made to immortals
Since all immortals
and mountains are worshipped
favorable weathers are in place
and bumper harvest comes to us
The people stand in awe
repaying the blessing of heaven
They dare not ask for favor
or blessing from the immortals
Just hope for no pandemic
No evil spirits roaming by
Wild animals and insects
stay where they should be
If peace prevails in one's residence
the immortals will bless with brightness
Their sincerity is expressed
in the ritual officials' remarks
Why are you here?
You said we should take the right to choose
And I chose to go home
The Left Prime Minister should be here soon
He won't come
He is now with the villagers
His job
I'll do it
[Chengtian Gate]
Clay Bodhisattva, please
bless us with peace and prosperity
Kowtow!
The Tang Emperor is incompetent
so the Li family should abdicate
in favor of the Prime Minster
Bloody hell!
Clay Bodhisattva, please
bless us with peace and prosperity
Just pray to your budda
You're late
Go to hell!
You are really lucky
to still have breath now
I don't have money to tip you
We're here for the antidotes
This
is not a real left prime minister
Real or not
he has the antidotes
What is this?
Let's fight together
Everything is a matter of conspiracy
It will generate hallucinations
Just a bewitching trick!
Chang'an, no one waiting for me there
One more person
leads to one more hope
If we don't go back now
Chang'an will no longer exist
Kill me
and you will get nothing
You are still a special officer
A special officer is still an officer
You are only a pawn of the imperial court
No one will care about you
Chang'an will
Chief Wang!
Wearing the uniform of a special officer
you feel all right?
Not a special officer
but a special chief
An imperially commissioned special chief
Fragrant pouches
Beautiful pouches
Miss
want a pouch?
So lovely!
