【Multi | FULL】EP24 Lu Lingfeng cut off Linghu Shuo’s left arm! | 唐朝诡事录之西行 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available] [Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West] [Episode 24] People of Hanzhou City, listen up! I am a descendant of Duan Gui, the leader of the Taiyin Sect. Open the city gates at once. Those who welcome me into the city shall be spared. Those who help me capture officials of all ranks in Hanzhou will be rewarded with silver. The one who kills Lu Si’an will be rewarded with gold. How dare you! Linghu, you petty thief, how dare you impersonate a descendant of Duan Gui and plot a rebellion! My surname is Duan. Who is the one talking nonsense on the city wall? [Hanzhou] It is the one who traveled with you to Mount Taiyin, Lu Lingfeng! Linghu Shuo, if you have the guts, take off your mask. You’re the spoiled young heir of Jiufang Pavilion. Who doesn’t know you? This… What is going on here? This… Yeah. What’s happening? Don’t listen to him! Those disloyal to the sect leader shall die! Can’t you tell? This Linghu Shuo just wants to use your identity to seize control of Hanzhou. If he succeeds tonight, the first thing he’ll do is kill you to silence you. Listen, people outside the city. I know you are all local civilians. Life is hard and you were instigated by evil people. That’s why you went to Mount Taiyin. The Grand Commander Lu Si’an promises that as long as you lay down your weapons, you can all return home to farm. The state government will not pursue your actions. No one is allowed to leave. Betraying the sect leader means death without mercy. Look! The Mountain God is angry. Listen up! Once the Mountain God breaks through the city gate, we shall work together to conquer Hanzhou! Chicken Fed, can the medicine really knock out the Tongtian rhino? Well… Who knows? This is all what Su Wuming told me to say. Look at that commander. He looks so calm, but he’s already mentally prepared to be trampled into ground meat by the Tongtian rhino. But Lu Lingfeng is still on the city wall. I— Su Wuming and Yingtao are there too. So, you and I cannot go. In life, we travel west together. In death, we go to the underworld together. Lu Lingfeng. What are you doing? According to the mythical beast chart, the Tongtian rhino has extremely sharp eyesight, loves the moonlight, and after nightfall, it fears when the moon is obscured by clouds. Look, when this cloud covers the moonlight, it will instantly turn blind. Then I can kill it with my spear. Lu Lingfeng, it was originally just an ordinary saw-toothed rhino. By absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, it turned into this form. That is no easy feat. Moreover, this rhino has human-like intelligence. Eighteen years ago, it once saved the life of a seven-year-old girl. Wouldn’t killing it be a pity? Lu Lingfeng’s martial arts are superb, but it’s not guaranteed that he can kill the Tongtian rhino with his spear. But look. In an instant, all these Hanzhou soldiers in the city will either join forces to kill the Tongtian rhino, or the Tongtian rhino will slaughter the entire city. It will then become a truly vicious beast of this world. The Taiyin Sect will also be cursed by later generations. This time, it will be even more tragic than 18 years ago. Those incited civilians will all be executed for treason. And all of this would just be due to Linghu Shuo’s ridiculous ambition. In my Taiyin Sect, those with merit will be promoted. Those who kill enemies and make achievements with me will all be founding fathers of my state. You will be conferred nobility and appointed as ministers. Kill! Can’t you see his wild ambition? Copying the rhino’s roar can only lure the Mountain God out. But in order to ride the Mountain God and leave Mount Taiyin, please teach me your unique skill, sect leader. Ami, what are you still hesitating for? If we take down Hanzhou tonight, you will be the founding emperor of the State of Taiyin. But I am a woman. Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou. Why can’t you be the first female emperor of Hanzhou? Our children will inherit the great dynasty and the empire will be passed down the generations. Time is running out. You can’t stop me. I am the king of Hanzhou. I will be the emperor! You absolutely shouldn’t have taught the skill of controlling the Tongtian rhino to this madman. He never loved me. He just wanted to use me. What I said earlier still stands. Those who set down their weapons and return home to farm will not be held accountable. This… Won’t be held accountable? Attack Hanzhou City with me! Those who are disloyal to the sect leader will die! Go quickly. Go. Sheriff Lu, take the sword. ♫The dark hair is messy, the futou is dark♫ ♫The horse neighs, the clouds scatter♫ ♫Fame and merit are troublesome♫ ♫Crossing thousands of mountains♫ Sheriff Lu, you’re here. I came to return the sword. This is the sword I forged that I’m most satisfied with. The day I became a blacksmith, I vowed to forge the best Heng sword in Tang. But I suppose you won’t think much of a Heng sword forged by a commoner. Mu, that’s nonsense. This is an excellent sword. In that case… Apprentice, bring the scabbard. Yes, Master. Do I have the honor of gifting this to you? This… This isn’t appropriate. I forge Heng swords to slay the wicked, but I’m just a blacksmith. I can only dream about it. But now, with this sword in your hands, it has truly slain the wicked. The people of Hanzhou are all talking about it. It makes me proud too. If you don’t mind, let it accompany you as you charge into battle ♫Yellow sand sweep around golden armor♫ and make great achievements. ♫The city is aflame, the Heng sword ends the fire♫ ♫My heart is like water, ambition like rock♫ ♫When I look back, the horizon is far♫ Thank you, Mu. ♫Drunk in the sunset, my heart is full of the beautiful nation♫ Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Many thanks to the people of Hanzhou. ♫Whom to sit with? The moon, wind, you, and I♫ Xijun, the sword Lu Lingfeng used in Nanzhou before was given by you. I never saw you cherish it so much. This is different. This sword carries the affection and expectations of the people of Hanzhou for him. It’s more worthy of cherishing than the sword I gifted. Xijun, you really make me feel a deep sense of respect. [Hanzhou County] Yingtao, I haven’t even said I’m leaving yet. What are you doing? You didn’t say you were leaving, but I think I should go What do you mean by this? You kept holding Ami’s hand and wouldn’t let go for even a moment, and you’re asking me what I mean? There’s no such thing. You’re still denying it. I, Su Wuming, am upright and aboveboard. I never deny what I’ve done. But I really didn’t hold Ami’s hand. I was gripping her wrist. Plus, I didn’t touch her directly. Gripping a suspect’s wrist as a constable and holding a woman’s hand are completely different things. Yingtao, you’re wronging me. It’s a huge mistake. Su Wuming, I… Of course, you also played a part in eliminating the Taiyin Sect. I won’t hold you accountable for this mistake. By the way, Commander Lu is hosting a banquet tonight. It’s both a welcome and a farewell. During the banquet, you should punish yourself with a few more drinks. I, Su Wuming, am magnanimous and will let this matter pass. How… How did it become my wrongdoing? It is said that those two giant condors circled in the sky for a long time. Suddenly, one of them dove down and hit the back window of the cell with its head. The condor’s body was found in the cell. Someone witnessed with their own eyes that Song Ami rode the other condor and flew into the sky, heading straight towards Mount Taiyin. Commander, I request troops to enter the mountain immediately and capture Song Ami. Lu Lingfeng, you have been to Mount Taiyin before. What do you think? This matter is too bizarre. I haven’t thought of how to handle this matter. Su Wuming, what about you? Perhaps this Tongtian rhino is indeed the king of the mountains and can command all beasts. Wang Xizhi rode away on a crane and became an immortal. This Song Ami rode on a condor and returned to the mountain? Perhaps this woman never belonged here in the first place. That makes sense. After all, she is just an orphan. How can Tang not tolerate a weak woman? Mount Taiyin is also part of Tang. Let’s hope that in the deep mountains, she can also live comfortably. Liao Xin is dead. Tian Chou is awaiting trial. I have already reported this to the imperial court. Soon, the imperial court will send a new prefectural governor and administrator. What we should think about now is the future of Hanzhou and even the vast Hexi. How can we help the people live and work in peace? Only in this way can rebellious organizations like the Taiyin Sect be unable to rise from the ashes. You’re wise, Commander. [Hanzhou] Sheriff Lu. Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Thank you. The one with the small mustache is Detective Di’s disciple. He looks like a scholar, but he’s actually very capable. Sheriff Lu is our big benefactor. Indeed. Take care. Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Thank you, Sheriff Lu. Who is this? What do you mean by this? Get out of the way. He can’t talk. This is my newly bought servant. He’s some Yunding mute slave. He’s quite useful. Can you understand what we’re saying? Is it because you became mute after you got sick? Enough. Everyone is here to see off the heroes who saved Hanzhou. Don’t cause trouble here. Go, go. Go. Go. Go quickly. Go, go, go. Go quickly. Sheriff Lu. Sheriff Lu. Sheriff Lu, Mr. Su. Sheriff Lu, Mr. Su. Sheriff Lu. Paying respects to the hero who saved Hanzhou. I left my hometown at a young age and achieved merits at the frontier. This is White Horses by Cao Zhi. My favorite two lines since childhood are: The distress letter comes from the north. The warhorse climbs the high embankment. Abandoning oneself at the tip of the blade, how can one cherish one’s life? I remember the next lines are: Cannot even care for one’s parents, let alone one’s wife and children. Since one’s name is on the soldiers’ list, personal interests must be forgotten. Sacrificing one’s life for the country’s crisis, He suddenly returns after his death. [Yunding Immortal Steps] [Tattoo Artist, owner of Flying Fairy Body Beautification Store] Tattoo Artist, aren’t you supposed to beautify my body today? Postpone it. Why postpone it again? I didn’t even let my husband touch my back last night. I’m tired after finishing this painting. I can’t paint anymore. Fine, postpone it. Anyway, I’ll lave my back to you. It’s my back, not the rest of my life. Don’t be afraid. Tattoo Artist, you’re quite a lucky guy. Can you teach me as well? I also want to paint on the bodies of ladies and girls. Don’t move. Otherwise, it’s on you if the painting is ruined. Why are you wearing a mask in broad daylight? You think you’re pretty? You painted well. No wonder you are the best body beautifier in Yunding. Please write two more lines for me. Write on the left: Not afraid of Yunding’s order when alive. Write on the right: Not afraid of the King of Hell when dead. From now on, I’d like to see if those runners [Rascal Wu Cai] will dare to hit me again. I won’t write that. I’ll pay you. I still won’t write it. I beautify people’s bodies to make them look good, not to provoke the government office. You’ve got character. Hurry up, get dressed and leave. I won’t get dressed. Isn’t this meant to be seen? From now on, I won’t even bathe anymore. The paint I use is of good quality. Even if you bathe, the colors will remain as good as new for three to five months. Then I definitely can’t get dressed. I’ll go out on the street like this to make you famous. I don’t need fame. I was just about to ask you. Why did you open your shop here in Yunding Immortal Steps? The timid don’t dare to come. Aren’t you afraid it will affect your business? I only beautify people’s bodies during the day. What’s there to be afraid of? Hurry up and go. I was wondering why you’re hurrying to drive me out. You have another customer. It’s not even dark yet and you came in wearing a mask. You must not understand the rules of Yunding Immortal Steps. Take it off. Let me see what you look like. I have a lot of Yin energy. Those who remove my mask don’t live long. You’d better think it through. Well… Who are you trying to scare? I— Go, go, go. Don’t disrupt my business. Go. I’ll go. Go. Have you thought it through? What do you want painted? Peonies. Peonies that haven’t bloomed yet. [Drunk in Yunding] [County] Fed, you know the wines of Chang’an and Luoyang. Are you familiar with Yunding’s wine? How can you ask that? When it comes to fine wines. there’s nothing that I don’t know. Yunding is known for grape wine. Then can you tell me the brewing method of the most famous Yunding Red? Of course. Yunding’s grape wine uses a specialty wine grape from the sandy regions. It starts with the foot-treading method and then the juice fermentation method. This way, it can brew up to three types and eight colors of grape wine. Which three types? And which eight colors? The three types are maroon red, peach red, and green-yellow. The maroon and peach can further be divided into vermilion, flame red, rust, scarlet, and rose, these five shades of red. Of course, each color has minute differences in taste. Ordinary people can’t even taste the difference. As for the most famous Yunding Red, I’ve only had it once in Chang’an. It truly hit the back of my throat and the sweetness reached my heart. Impressive, Fed. You really know your stuff. Then I will treat you to some drinks now. You’re so kind. We’re on my turf, right? It’s already late now. There’s no need to report to the county government. So I, the county sheriff, will treat you all to food and drinks. Okay. [Anda Inn] Come again. Take care. Take care, goodbye. You’re all from out of town, right? Why don’t you stay at our inn? We have food, drinks, entertainment, and the best guest rooms. It’s close to the night market too. Yunding even has a night market? Of course. Not only do we have a night market, but there’s also no curfew at night. You can wander the streets freely. That’s too over-the-top. Within Tang, how can it be legal for a state, county, or city to not have a curfew? Well, this is the idea of our Sheriff Sima. It should be legal, right? Sheriff? Here in our Yunding, half the people make a living by brewing and selling alcohol. Ever since this night market started, many people have come from far and wide. Those merchants from afar aren’t willing to leave. Everyone has made a lot of money. Isn’t it all thanks to Boss Sima? Didn’t you say he’s the sheriff? How come he’s a boss now? Yes. Our sheriff Sima Liang is also the biggest wine merchant in Yunding. It’s just that, for some reason, the imperial court actually replaced him. [Yunding County Government] Sheriff Sima. [Yunding County Magistrate, Huangfu Tan] You must not have any resentment toward me. How dare I? [Former Yunding Sheriff, Sima Liang] Since the court’s newly appointed sheriff will arrive soon, I, who should’ve resigned long ago, can finally go and be carefree. Why would I be resentful? Besides, there was an accident in the case file room. I’m already endlessly grateful that you didn’t punish me. I never said I wouldn’t punish you. It’s just that I won’t pursue the matter because of you years of hard work. Thank you, Magistrate. Sima, what are your plans for the future? What other plans can I have? I only hope to sell the fine wine of Yunding to Chang’an, Luoyang, and even throughout the entire Tang. That’s my only wish. The road ahead is long and arduous. It’s difficult, but once it’s done, Yunding will surely become renowned throughout the world. I’ll hold a banquet tonight [Yunding Assistant of County Magistrate, Song Shang] and Mr. Song will accompany me to toast to your grand ambition and drink to our heart’s content. I’m honored to oblige. Ladies and gentlemen, what would you like to eat? One serving of each of Yunding’s signature dishes. More importantly, bring me the Yunding Red. That’s what I came for. Sure thing. [Dancer, Qing Xi] Look at these wine vessels. They are all so exquisite. The wine must go without saying, right? Come. Come. Let me pour the wine for you. Fed, you are the elder. It’s not your responsibility. Let me do it. Yingtao. Give it to me. You do it? What’s the reasoning? Waiter, bring the wine! Coming! On this journey to the west you all followed me to Yunding, facing hardships, dangers, and multiple crises along the way. I, Lu Lingfeng, am not good with words, but my gratitude is all in my heart. Let me pour the wine for you to show my respect. I have lived for so long. If I hadn’t met you all, I would definitely still be alone now and whiling my days away in the gloomy Ghost Market of Chang’an. Fed, you… Now that you put it that way, I’m also getting— Enough. Stop pretending to be sentimental. Today, let us drink to our heart’s content. Yes, yes, yes. Let’s drink. Let’s wish Lu Lingfeng a smooth start in office tomorrow morning and wish us all a carefree time in Yunding. A carefree time. Well said. Come. Cheers! It is indeed good wine. Still the same taste So ignorant. He thinks Yunding Red is the limit. After all, you need money to drink Eternal Drunkenness. Come. Sirs, what was the drunkenness you just mentioned? Eternal Drunkenness. Eternal Drunkenness? Is it even better than Yunding Red? No matter how good Yunding Red is, it’s still made from grapes. Eternal Drunkenness… Of course, it’s also made from grapes. It’s just that the brewing method is different. Drinking it can nourish one’s soul and prolong life. Otherwise, why would we travel for so long to come here? Exactly. You’re just bluffing, right? How come I’ve never heard of Eternal Drunkenness before? You’re ignorant and ill-informed. It’s a top-quality wine brewed with ancient techniques on the basis of Yunding Red. Come, come. Let’s change to some good wine. Waiter! Bring a jar of Eternal Drunkenness. Well, we really don’t have it today. You’ll have to wait. But it’s expensive. Expensive? How expensive can it be? A jar of Eternal Drunkenness costs as much as ten jars of Yunding Red. Wine this expensive can’t possibly taste good. Alright, you can go. Don’t be impatient, Fei. Sooner or later, we’ll drink all the wine in Yunding. Sheriff Lu, you said earlier to drink to oour hearts’ content. Why don’t we stay here for the night? Secretary Su, please book the rooms for us. Yes, sir. Shopkeeper, we need two superior rooms. We happen to have two left. Great. They are upstairs. Why did you stop dancing, Qing Xi? I have to go back now. I forgot about your husband. So, my wages for these ten days… Others get paid monthly. But you, Qing Xi, get paid every ten days. You’re lucky to have met me. Shopkeeper, Qing Xi is beautiful and she dances well. What’s wrong with paying her every ten days? If she could dance in my home, I’d pay her daily. You’re right. I got the good end of the bargain with Qing Xi dancing at my inn. Here, Qing Xi. Take this. Robbery! Qing Xi! What happened? The man in front robbed me of my money. Mind your own business. If you don’t want to die under my steel fork, obediently hand over the money. [Huntsman, Jin Bao] [Ruffian, Huang You] I’ll pay. I’ll hand it over. Jin Bao. Here you go. In the future, tuck your money pouch inside your clothes. Thank you. Don’t mention it. Where are you going? I just got back from dancing. Today is payday. By the way, how is Bao Kang’s leg? It’s been over two months. I was going to visit him, but… From now on, he will probably be bedridden. He really can’t stand up anymore? Here. No need. Use it make soup for Bao Kang. Take it. I really don’t need it. I know Bao Kang is usually frugal. He doesn’t buy anything, but he’s injured now. How can he not eat some good things? Thank you, Jin Bao. Huang You, get up. Don’t play dead with me. [Qing Xi’s husband, Bao Kang] Thank you. I’m not afraid of suffering, but you can’t be so stubborn anymore. How am I being stubborn? Think about it yourself. This chicken is so fresh. It must be a mountain chicken. Don’t tell me you bought it. Jin Bao gave it to me. He told me to stew it for you. He came to our house? No. I got robbed on the way back from the inn. Jin Bao happened to return from hunting. He helped me get my money pouch back. What a coincidence. You shouldn’t go dancing anymore. You’re disabled from the fall. If I don’t go out to dance, we’ll use up all our savings. I’m disabled, but I’m not useless. I misspoke. I’m afraid that’s what you really think. If you ask me, we should go see a doctor first and have your legs checked. I won’t. It’s already like this. What’s the point of getting it checked? It’s precisely because you broke your leg before and didn’t get it looked at that it turned out this way. These legs can’t recover and I can’t stand up anymore. Even if I see a doctor, I still won’t be able to stand. You better be prepared. Are you done reading this book? I’ll go return it. One more night means one more day’s fee. Stop saying these useless things. You look down on me because I’m disabled. Isn’t that why you don’t want to stay at home? If you have the guts, go to Jin Bao. His legs are fine and he’s strong. Don’t think I don’t know. You shameless woman, you’ve been messing around with him for a long time. The one you think about every day is Jin Bao, isn’t it? You… Ridiculous. Who is it? Qing Xi, it’s me, Wang Qiu from next door. What are you doing, sneaking into my house? [Wang Qiu, neighbor of Qing Xi] I… I wanted to borrow your kitchen knife. To slaughter a pig. The one I have at home is too blunt. Next time, knock before entering the courtyard. I did knock. You didn’t hear it. How is Bao Kang’s leg? You’re calling him Bao Kang now? Don’t you realize how much younger you are than him? Alright. Then how is Brother-in-law Bao Kang’s leg doing? Don’t worry too much. After I slaughter the pig, I’ll bring over a big pig trotter for you. And who said I was your sister? Why are you bringing a pig trotter? To help nourish Brother-in-law Bao Kang, of course. As the saying goes, eat what you lack. Well, I must thank you then. Keep it to nourish yourself. Return it after you’re done using it. Qing Xi, I wasn’t joking. After butchering the pig, I really will bring over a pig trotter. Just one? You want Brother-in-law Bao Kang to eat it and then I eat it? Or should I eat it and then Brother-in-law Bao Kang eats it? Then I’ll bring two. Actually, I wish I could turn myself into a pig trotter for you to eat. You little brat, trying to take advantage of me. I’m not lending you the knife anymore. No, no, no! Look at me. I let my guard down and spoke what was really on my mind. You—
