[English subtitles are available] [Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty Ⅱ : To The West] [Episode 6] Come out together. Immortal, give me the treasure. Immortal? Why do you call me that? You don’t know the greeting rules. Go away. Don’t make it so that no one gets the treasure. I asked a question. Speak! You can fly? What else can you be? We’ve come many times already. We have enough gold and silver today. I’ll take as many treasures as you have. Treasures are rare. I will only sell to one person. It will go to the highest bidder. Close your eyes. If I take yours away, you will get the treasure. You want to act mysteriously with these lowly tricks? Let’s go. Remove his mask. Bring Liang Zhi here. Commander Hu. It’s him! Take him away. Commander Hu, raise your head. Let me show you something. Look. This is your portrait. It was drawn by my sworn sister, Pei Xijun. But she could tell immediately that even though your hair was down and you had a fake beard, you looked like the owner of Cloud Tower, Bi Chengye. Under my sworn brother’s orders, I drew another portrait without a beard. Look. Is this you? Rip off his beard. Su Wuming, how did you know it was me? I’ll pay for his drinks. Your clothing was so strange. Can the Cloud Tower be entered by anyone? Many officials frequent the place, but only Liang Zhi has seen Commander Hu. Isn’t that strange? Furthermore, every time you show up, you laugh wildly. Isn’t it to disguise your voice? Unfortunately, you didn’t know my sworn brother has the sharpest hearing. Yuan Lai, the mastermind of the Chang’an black tea case, wore a mask, but he only said one thing before my sworn brother recognized his voice. So when I saw you here last time, I guessed who you were. You pretended to be the Military Commander of Zhexi. Did you go astray for the sake of politics? I came to Chang’an to be an official. You failed as an official, so you’re making a fortune selling Flying Light. The Shenzhu Painting Shop you opened must have costed a lot of money. I didn’t pay for that. My Lord is resourceful. He will reorganize the court. You’d better release me. By then, I can spare your lives. Who is “My Lord”? You don’t deserve to know. Search his body for the Flying Light. No need to search. I don’t have it. You didn’t even produce the Flying Light. You’re here to cheat people of their money. How is that possible? Xu Zhiyun, Minister of Rites from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, produced a batch of quality Flying Light. The craftsmanship is excellent. Although it’s a small supply, it can be used for the finishing touch of the Mara’s Defeat of Chengfo Temple. Mara’s Defeat! Mara’s Defeat? Nobody inquiries after one falls. What do you know of destruction? The value of one’s life can change in an instant. You drugged my wine. What are you going to do? What else can I do? I’ve worked under you for 13 years. I’ve already mastered the skill of Danqing. Tomorrow, I’ll stun the world. What nonsense are you spouting? Release me! This is the treasure, Flying Light. You finally got this evil thing. What are you doing? To add the finishing touch, of course. If I do anything wrong, Senior, you can teach me. No, no, no. You want to use this evil thing to taint my Mara’s Defeat. Zu, how dare you? My name is not Zu. My surname is Yu. I’m a descendant of a noble family of the six dynasties. If my grandfather hadn’t offended Wu Zetian, would I have become a slave and need you to save me? I used to truly like the name Zu. It made me dare not insult my ancestors. You gave me freedom and let me call you Senior. I wanted to learn to paint from you forever. I would’ve gone to the ends of the earth without hesitation. But you never saw my respect for you! You treated me, your junior, as a lowly slave! Have you gone mad? Release me! You don’t treat me as a human, but others will respect me. Do you really think Mara can escape from the wall? No. I drew it all, stroke by stroke. He parties in Cloud Tower every day, while you live so shabbily. You… Who are you? The descendant of Yingchuan’s Wei family became a master of Danqing. Congratulations. How do you know my surname? That person was a friend of my father. He had looked for me since my family’s crisis. He wanted to help me. He asked me to paint Mara for him. He gave me huge golden cakes. Not only did I draw on masks and armor, but I also drew on people’s faces. Although that general was asleep, he looked so powerful, like the King of Hell. You were the one who painted the killer Mara. Zu, I taught you the Way of Danqing. How dare you side with evil? Do you want to lie down and watch me add the finishing touch? Sure. Stop. Stop! The crown prince and princess will arrive at daybreak. Someone has already cleared away the monks here. No one can hear you no matter how you scream. Don’t bother. The rope is tied tightly. You can’t break free. The Flying Light was hard to produce. It’s the best type of paint. You are the greatest painter in the world. Don’t you want to know how I created it? Before, I frequented painting shops and pretended to buy Flying Light just to let everyone know you’ve run out of talent. Zu! Zu, don’t do it! I beg you! Zu! You deserve this. The time for the Mingyin Festival is up. I’ve finished what you couldn’t. After I add the finishing touch, this will be my painting. That old princess won’t trust you anymore. The world will come to support me like they once did to you. I will bring glory to my family in another way. I will carve my name onto all the paintings I’ve completed with you. [Great Buddha Hall] Wei Zhong. Yes. Arrange defenses first. Yes. Aunt, I’m late. No. The timing is perfect. Princess, Crown Prince, please. Aunt, please. Crown Prince, please. Amitabha, the time has come. Your Highnesses, please unveil the Mara’s Defeat for Chengfo Temple. The demons are dancing as if they’re about to break out of the wall. It’s quite terrifying. Qin Xiaobai! How dare you trick the princess? Your Highness, please look at the Buddha. The finishing touch hasn’t been added yet. Amitabha. Where is Qin Xiaobai? Here. Zu. Zu. Flying Light? Guards! Arrest Qin Xiaobai. Why? He didn’t add the finishing touch. You disobeyed the princess’s order and helped this rascal procrastinate. You committed the same crime. Take them down. I have studied painting since young. In my humble opinion, although Mara’s Defeat seems to be incomplete, it’s Qin Xiaobai’s most genuine masterpiece. Ms. Pei… You know me well. I delayed adding the finishing touch because I had never stepped onto an evil path. I didn’t understand a demon’s craze until… That time, my heart was in chaos and I finally realized there was no such thing as the way of the finishing touch. The demons were myself. All I needed to do is apply the ink. However, I’ve fallen into a demonic state. I, Qin Xiaobai, can’t add the finishing touch for the Buddha anymore. But I won’t allow others to use their brush on this mural, because demons and monsters can’t enter the Buddha’s eyes. The Buddha has no demon in his sight and there is definitely no demon in his heart. There’s no need to add the finishing touch. I think Qin Xiaobai is right. Aunt, we were shocked when the mural was revealed. We didn’t even notice whether the finishing touch was added or not. It means it’s well painted. May I say one more thing? I think the Buddha without eyes is what makes this mural a masterpiece. This may be Qin Xiaobai’s greatest work of his life. And the last work of my life. Assassin! Protect the Crown Prince! Amitabha. Master! Qin Xiaobai, why must you do this? This mural was taken advantage of, killing many people. It’s my fault. I can’t escape punishment. Today, I destroyed my eyes and will never draw again. Princess, please allow me to bury Zu. There’s a dead man lying there. Amitabha. What’s going on? Su Wuming, how could you allow this? The consecration ceremony today is so inauspicious. It’s indeed my negligence. Your Highnesses, since the unveiling ceremony of the mural has been completed, please exit. Okay. Princess, the Crown Prince has something else to do. He’ll return to the Eastern Palace. Your Highness, this way. Aunt, I will take my leave. With me here, no one can leave. I am here. How dare you rebel? Lu Tong, I know you’re powerful. I’m not needed to deal with you. Protect the Crown Prince! Cen Zhi! Princess, don’t panic. Everything is under control. Greetings, Godfather. Today is the time for my son to make contributions. Don’t worry, Godfather. No one will be able to leave. Who is he? I… I don’t know either. Where are your men? I— His men? The thousands of my Mara Army will arrive immediately. Starting with Chengfo Temple, they will massacre Chang’an City. Cen Zhi, what is happening? Your Highness, let me speak for him. After Cen Zhi arrived in the capital as the regimental commander of the Princess’ Palace, many people appeared in Chengfo Temple, impersonating as monks and behaving inappropriately to the extent of having conflicts with the people. Abbot Guangxiao expelled them. In one night, they disappeared. At the same time, the Ghost Market became more flourishing with bustling crowds and teeming masses. Even the courtesans grew much younger. Commander Cen, you used Bi Chengye, owner of Cloud Tower, and hid all the people you recruited into the Ghost Market. Right? This… Unfortunately, you didn’t know that Bi Chengye was already controlled by the so-called My Lord. Your men all became the Mara Army he mentioned. Cen Zhi. Princess. I was foolish and was cheated by the profiteer Bi Chengye. Wei Zhong, why do you regard this enchanter as your Godfather? Godfather arranged for me to work in the Princess’ Palace for years. Importance wasn’t placed upon me until Commander Cen came. Thank you. Godfather, I’ll take the first credit. Princess. I will die to atone my sins. A great enemy is here. Protect the princess first. Kill! Mara. Your Highness, run! Mr. Lu! Your Highness, I am here to fight the demon. Leave! Your Highness, go through the window. As the Crown Prince of Tang, how can I escape from the window? Bai Shan, fight this demon with me and Mr. Lu. No, Your Highness. Mr. Lu! Kill those two with the surname Li first. Move! Take this! You better… One, two, three. My old bones almost fell apart. Luckily, I’ve consumed enough of the most powerful knockout incense. I can even knock Mara out, let alone a Qiongqi beast. Come on. Let me hug you. Do you remember the pepper I fed you last time? Don’t worry, General Ma. This horse is fine. It’s just asleep. We know this horse was bestowed by the late emperor. We won’t hurt it. General Ma has served the border for many years. He bravely led the Anxi Army and killed countless enemies. Unfortunately, those flatterers stole the credit for many of his military achievements. He’s had difficulty getting promoted. Your Highness, according to Bi Chengye’s confession, three months ago, Ma Xiong was ambushed when escorting the provisions. Due to the disparity in strength, he could only retreat and was sentenced to death. He escaped late at night to return to the capital to seek justice. I think he was incited to rebel on the way by this person and controlled by evil poison. You were ordered to act as Mara and cause trouble to Chang’an, right? Don’t listen to him. Kill the enemy and achieve the great cause. Since the journey is far, the documents from the Imperial Inspector arrived only yesterday. General Ma was indeed wronged. Your Highness, please investigate it. We must investigate the injustice. Ma Xiong, I will first pardon you for leaving Anxi without permission and sneaking into Chang’an. General Ma also returned to Chang’an because he missed his wife. The Black Balm produced with yuelin fragrance must be from the Western Region. Unfortunately, General Ma could only send it home secretly. He didn’t dare to reunite with his wife. Su— Don’t mention that adulteress. Adulterer. General Ma! Sun Wang deserved to be killed. Mr. Lu went to investigate the case. It’s a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding! Ma Xiong, this man has a glib tongue. Don’t listen to him. Kill everyone here and you’ll be the Great General of the army! Die! Lu Lingfeng, stop! I want to avenge Guo Zhuang! I understand how you feel. Ma Xiong killed many people. He’s committed a capital crime, but you can’t kill him. He must be imprisoned and testify to leave no stone unturned in this case. Open your mouth. Kill! Take off your mask and surrender. My Mara Army will be here soon. What are you being so arrogant about? Those masses are not worth mentioning. Last night, I sneaked into the Ghost Market and found out all of your hidden details. Otherwise, how could I disguise as a monster and follow you here? The first person who discovered that there was something fishy in this hall was the Director of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Li. The monks are not monks. The wall is not a wall. The ears are not silent. The heart is not calm. Mr. Li must have figured out some secrets of Chengfo Temple. The villain was afraid of being exposed, so they killed him. When Qin Xiaobai focused on the finishing touch, he often heard something strange in the stone wall behind the Reclining Buddha, which made him unable to focus. My guess is that this hall has long been connected to the Ghost Market via a tunnel. You planned all this, didn’t you? You wanted to rebel during the Mingyin Festival. Last night, Administrator Du Ming of Yongzhou led an elite army guided by Lu Lingfeng and Chicken Fed. They set up inescapable traps in the tunnel. The Mara Army you mentioned won’t be coming. Rebels, there’s no escaping! Arrest all these rebels. Feng Han, take off your mask. Feng Han? Chamberlain Feng? Did His Majesty arrange all of this? Does he want me and his son to die here? Princess, you misunderstood His Majesty. His Majesty is benevolent. He was instigated by Feng Han during the Sky-scraping Tower case, but His Majesty still refused to kill him and released him from the palace, sparing his life. But His Majesty didn’t know that this evil eunuch has already entered Anle Sect. Anle Sect. The evil organization formed by eunuchs of the previous Sui Dynasty? Emperor Yang of Sui killed his father and usurped power after being instigated by them. The Tang Dynasty has been established for nearly a century. This evil sect actually resurrected. All disciples of the Anle Sect refer to their leader as My Lord. In addition, Buddhism became popular during Emperor Wen of Sui’s reign. All temples competed in painting murals. In order to profit, the Anle Sect used human liver to make Flying Light. Now this strange thing reappeared in Chang’an. I have to suspect the Anle Sect. But Feng Han, why do you only kill officials? Those disgusting minor officials either support the crown prince or the princess. None of them are loyal to the emperor. Their livers are only worthy of making Flying Light! Illuminate the great Tang Dynasty for centuries. Cui, next time, I’ll extract your liver to produce Flying Light. It must be more valuable. Su Wuming, you made a conclusion based on your speculations. You didn’t learn anything from Di Renjie. I admit the aforementioned were just speculations. But when Lu Lingfeng went to Leyou Plain to look for Mr. Li’s body, he was attacked by a mupu. Thus, I was sure the person behind this conspiracy must be from the Anle Sect. Mupu? What is that? This beast has a snake head and turtle tail. The giant ones can eat a human. This strange beast was raised by Anle Sect during the Sui Dynasty. They often killed maids to entertain Emperor Yang, or suddenly appeared at banquets to kill officials to intimidate the others. Feng Han, you’ve been favored by Tang for many years, but you secretly started performing heresy from the previous dynasty. What is your intention? Feng Han, how dare you! How despicable! I was His Majesty’s loyal servant. Unfortunately, His Majesty is useless. The court is under your control. If I succeed today, the Anle Sect will reestablish Sui and change the dynasty of the world! Ji’er, save me! Mother! What did I do? What did I do? He said he wanted to clear my name, but he actually harmed me. Although he was controlled by evil medicine, I could’ve cured him with time. [Chengfo Temple] ♫Thinking back, it’s just like yesterday♫ ♫It suddenly feels empty♫ ♫How many lives are there♫ ♫Year after year, there is constant unease♫ ♫Thinking back, it’s just like yesterday♫ ♫It suddenly feels empty♫ The most depressing matter ♫How many lives are there♫ is farewells. Sadness and melancholy are at the bend of the distant mountains, ♫Year after year, there is constant unease♫ walking farther and farther away beside the long river. After leaving Chengfo Temple that day, the princess went directly to the palace to see His Majesty. The Eastern Palace also reported the entirety of the Chengfo Temple case to His Majesty. I said it. What did you say? Ji’er, save me! Mother! Are you sure you called her mother? Yes. Who heard it? I don’t know. So you admitted the princess is your birth mother? I… didn’t admit it. I was just in panic. The princess called Ji’er. There was chaos. No one would’ve noticed. But I… What situation have I put the princess in? At this point, you still care about the princess’s situation, instead of your own? I… Have you ever thought about how you will face the Crown Prince in the future?
