【FULL】Tientsin Mystic 2 EP01 | 河神2 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available.] Everyone be quiet, please. At Mogudao’s Evil Water Source, Guo Deyou’s life hung on a thread as he strove to defuse the bomb planted at the bottom of the river. That’s where we left off last time. I’ve noticed some new faces in the audience.
We’re coming to a most exciting chapter. Our last storytelling session was quite a while ago. So let me give a brief recap of the previous chapters. Tientsin, a place situated in the lower reaches of nine rivers, boasts three pontoon bridges and two customhouses. A grievance arose at the River-worshipping Ceremony
To the embarrassment of Xuanwu, River God of the North. Mysterious cases occurred in succession since the emergence of the evil Mogudao Sect. Heroes of older generations having retired from the world, our valiant youths risked their lives to right the wrong. Unwilling to admit defeat, Lian Huaqing
Threw a bomb to the bottom of the poisoned Haihe River. Guo Deyou went to his death unflinchingly. Alas. Alas. The brave young man’s fate hung in the balance. So, did a bomb explode at the bottom of the river? It did. But it wasn’t the one Little River God Guo Deyou was defusing.
Lian Huaqing, the foxy leader of Mogudao, had put on the act as a diversion, as he had planted multiple bombs around the Evil Water Source. As a result, the toxic water spread out and polluted the main stream and tributaries of the Haihe River, hence the shipping ban
And the closure of all rivers in Tientsin. Little River God survived the explosion, but was convicted of colluding with the evil sect to pollute the Haihe River. Wanted posters for him could be found in every corner of Tientsin. After two court trials, he was sentenced
To the gallows on the execution ground in the western suburbs. Someone was asking what happened to the other three heroes, that is, Ding Mao, Gu Ying and Xiao Lanlan. OK. Let’s come back to our story. Tientsin was destined to witness more tumultuous changes. Jianghu. Science. Kung fu. Truth. Nine statues of ox.
Two statues of tiger. One statue of rooster. Governor. Mayor of Tientsin. Commander in Chief. River monster. The Grain Transporting Chamber of Commerce. The vaccine. The murderer of my father. Fan Junyao. Physical therapy. Curve cut-off. Over my dead body. I don’t believe it. You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m never afraid of anyone.
River God. Tientsin Mystic 2 Episode 1 That ox. Pull! Here comes Little River God. Tiger-head boat. It’s the tiger-head boat. Look. Look. Here comes River God. Little River God has arrived. My master said we shouldn’t answer if people call us River God. But as the captain of the Wuhe Corpse-salvage Team,
I had to deal with the monster in the river. We had a similar incident not long ago, right? Lian Huaqing, leader of Mogudao, threw a bomb into the Evil Water Source, trying to pollute the entire Tientsin with that highly toxic underground water. How could I have sat on my hands?
In a fit of rage, I destroyed Mogudao. After a few days of peace, a sea monster had to come out to make trouble. It seems that a great talent like me is predestined to be busy. Well, you guys are lucky today. Let me show you how I subdued demons.
Soon after the nine oxen got into the water as baits, I rushed aboard the double-tiger boat, taking a firm grasp on my Golden Rooster Sea-stabilizing Spear to destroy this demon for good. I’m serious. Oxen embody the element of earth. Nine oxen could stabilize water. Tiger embodies the element of wood. Wood counteracts earth.
On top of that, the golden rooster, a herald of daybreak, expels ghosts and yin. There is always one thing to conquer another. So I vanquished the sea monster. It’s called when the nine oxen, two tigers and one rooster appeared…. River God would vanquish the sea monster. So you’re familiar with this story then.
Um, I heard about the part about Mogudao, but about the legend of the vanquishing of the sea monster and about the role you played in it… Let’s get things straight. The Ming Dynasty saw a total of 16 emperors. During the Jiajing Era… Are you done with your meal or not? Stop talking big.
Finish your last meal. According to the rules, one should eat some plain boiled pork before crossing the Bridge of Forgetfulness. I’ll leave the wine to you. No, thanks. This wine is for your departure. It’s not yet my time to die. Guo Deyou, it’s time. Guo Deyou, the Chosen One of Mogudao,
Shall be executed at 11:45 a.m. for detonating a bomb and polluting the Haihe River. Without having my last meal, I guess I’ll become a hungry ghost. Maybe you could just shoot me dead. A bullet would be much quicker. In your next life perhaps. Get reincarnated in a new body,
And you may perhaps be shot dead in the end. But you’re going to die a more painful death today. The river monster must be hanged in front of the people to reassure them. Alright. I’ll die the way some emperors died. It’ll be worth it. Guo Deyou! Guo Deyou! Are you alright? I’m OK.
What about the bomb? It was taken care of. Go with Lanlan. I’ll carry Gu Ying on my back and get us out of here. What happened? How could it be? I’m sure I disposed of the bomb. Hurry. Hurry. Lanlan. Hurry, Ding Mao. Gu Ying. Ding Mao.
It’s normal for you to feel disoriented at first. You’ll get better. You must continue your underwater rehabilitation. You should have it twice a week. You’ve got a press conference to attend, so let’s call it a day. I’ll send the recipe to your assistant. You should avoid strenuous exercises at home. This floral incense
Might cause slight dizziness, but it’s quite effective in relaxing your nerves. Don’t worry. River monster! River monster! River monster! Nine oxen shall tear his body limb from limb. Two tigers shall devour his flesh. One rooster shall peck out this eyes. River monster! River monster! River monster! Rip his body up.
He’s an evil follower of Mogudao. He blew up the Evil Water Source. He poisoned the water we drink. River monster! River monster! River monster! Condemned prisoner Guo Deyou, the Chosen One of the nefarious Mogudao, committed the most heinous crime of colluding with Mogudao to detonate the highly toxic underground water
And pollute the Haihe River, leading to the fishing ban and the shipping ban in Tientsin, and the misery of its people. Today he shall be hanged. Hooray. Hooray. Hooray. Therefore, curve cut-off will be the most effective solution to the pollution of the water source and the resumption of fishing and shipping in Tientsin.
This project must be launched. Bravo. Bravo. Secretary-General Ding spoke in such a beautiful bureaucratic tone. The people of Tientsin have depended on the rivers for a living for generations. But now you’re proposing blasting the rivers to change their courses on top of the fishing ban and the shipping ban. Secretary-General Ding,
You’re a genius at ruining people’s livelihoods. We have to deal with the pollution of the water source precisely because we people of Tientsin depend on the rivers for a living. Only by launching the curve cut-off project will we be able to resume the operation of all trades in Tientsin.
The people depend on the rivers for a livelihood, and a high official like Your Excellency depends on and exploits the people, right? Why do all the shot points of that river project you mentioned just now happen to be located in the territory of my Yishengmen Gang? Your Grain Transporting Chamber of Commerce
Is so calculating. Conducting curve cut-off to discharge waste water and form a new river is the only way to clean up the mess in a short time. I don’t understand your fancy terms. All I know is that you succeeded your father-in-law Xiao Yan as Secretary-General upon his death.
You’ve become ruthless on your way to the position of Secretary General, huh? What nonsense. What nonsense. Sit down. You know what? I can’t tell which part of your speech is true and which part is false. Have you got anything else to say, river monster Guo Deyou? Don’t build a grave for me.
It’d be unsightly. Deyou. Deyou. Hurry. The original carrier of the vaccine has come to. Deyou. After you, Secretary-General Ding. Bravo. What a show! What an amazing show! I’ve never watched it in the theater. Xiao Lanlan, the daughter of the former secretary-general, shot at her boyfriend to avenge the death of her father. Bravo.
Bravo. You’ve got to kill me first before you can carry out the curve cut-off. Hurry. Sedate her with two doses of tranquilizer. We must protect the original carrier of the vaccine. I’ll knock the daylight out of you. Get lost. Miss Gu. Miss Gu, please calm down. Please calm down. You haven’t fully recovered
From your injuries at the Evil Water Source. Don’t worry. This place is perfectly safe. You’ve been in a coma due to excessive loss of blood after the explosion of the Evil Water Source, and you need a good rest to recuperate. We’ve found that you’re immune to the Mogudao Virus
Thanks to the inherent antibodies in your blood. That is to say, you are the Chosen One of Mogudao. You can be discharged tomorrow after we collect the last antibody samples. Then you can meet Little River God. Hooray. Hooray. I used to be a Taoist hermit living in Wolonggang away from the world.
Since he became secretary-general, Ding Mao has made some surprising moves. First he cut off ties with the Xiao family, and then he had Guo Deyou hanged. I can’t tell what actions he’ll take next. Greetings, Governor. Hello, Mayor Bai. Hello, Commander-in-chief Wu. I heard there was a ruckus at the press conference?
We had an accident. It has been taken care of. Accidental discharge could happen. One can’t be too careful. And now I’ve got two questions to consult with you, Secretary-General Ding. You’re so modest, sir. I’m all ears. Sorry to interrupt. The curve cut-off started with such a fanfare and cost a fortune,
So when is it going to show results? The curve cut-off is the optimal solution jointly proposed by German hydraulic and environmental experts with collective wisdom and concerted efforts. We’ll see quick results within two periods as long as the blasting works and the channel excavation go smoothly.
I wonder if the promotion of the vaccine might be hampered by the masses. It’s not surprising that the masses have misgivings about Western medicine. Soon I’ll be headed for the vaccination site for supervision and publicity in person. Good. It’s better to gain popular support than to appease popular complaints. Secretary-General Ding, Commander-in-chief Wu,
I’ve figured it out. While the three of us are worried sick over this, our governor remains cool and composed. Why is that? Why is that? He has the situation well in hand. He has a clear idea of the situation. Secretary-General Ding. What do you think we should do to win public support
For the curve cut-off and the vaccination? I’d love to hear your opinion. Don’t take people’s jobs away. Don’t ask them to foot the bill. Governor, when the next batch of vaccines arrives at the port, the Grain Transporting Chamber of Commerce will cover all the expenses of the vaccination and publicity.
Besides, I’ll join hands with the salt merchants, the tea merchants and other chambers of commerce to subsidize in your name the people whose livelihoods are affected by the closure of the rivers. How daring is our young man in his career! What a pity that he’s frustrated in love!
Everyone knows Zhuge Liang the mastermind predicted like a prophet. Bravo. The channels have already been closed. What? The roads are blocked as well? No, they’re not. All roads will be open to you after you have a shot of vaccine and get your card. We don’t trust foreign injections.
We’ll accept the bad luck if we fall ill. But you can’t stop us from going into town. That’s right. And your injections are way too expensive. The vaccine was introduced from Germany by Secretary-General Ding. It was developed by his former college mentor, a distinguished German medical authority. How could you doubt his expertise?
You’ll live in peace after getting a shot. So the cost doesn’t matter that much. We won’t have a shot even it’s for free. We want to go home. What are you doing? Stand back. Have a shot of vaccine and you can pass. You can’t pass without a yellow card.
The sky is so dark that even the birds won’t come out. They must know a funeral is going on. I’ll go and boil a bucket of water for you to wash away the bad luck. After having a shot of vaccine and getting the yellow card, you can go into town
And safely use the river water for farming and daily cleaning. But you mustn’t drink it directly, understand? Who else has a yellow card? Excuse me. Your yellow card, please. Out of the way. This is a densely populated area. I won’t stop you if you have a yellow card.
If not, you’ll have to get a shot over there first. What difference will a shot make? We could neither drink from the rivers nor fish in them even before this curve cut-off project. So why would we pay to get this shot? He’s right. Yeah. Secretary-General Ding issued this notice in person.
You refuse to have a shot? Fine. Return by the way you came, then. What are you doing? Don’t talk about that darn secretary-general. He signed the document that convicted Mr. Guo. How dare he call himself the disciple of Old River God? He’s an ungrateful bastard. Guo Deyou was a river monster of Mogudao.
Secretary-General Ding sacrificed fraternity to righteousness by destroying the river monster. They were fellow disciples. So what? Yeah. After making this “heroic” move, the entire Tientsin has fallen into the hands of the Grain Transporting Chamber of Commerce. The Wuhe Corpse-salvage Team has lost its captain, and you became their loyal watchdog. How disgusting!
Out of the way. What are you doing? Out of the way. Out of the way. Everyone stay back. Out of the way. Stay back. Stay back. Stay back. Stay back. Out of the way. Move. Is it a human or a ghost? Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo, it’s me, Tieniu. Mr. Guo. Deyou. Guo Deyou.
River monster. Go back. Look at his face and hands. Is that the Mogudao Virus? Yeah. I thought the river monster was the Chosen One of Mogudao. How come he’s infected, too? Deyou. Mr. Guo. River Patrol, seal off this area. Yes, sir. Let no one in or out of this area.
The river monster has turned into a zombie. What did they inject into his neck? He stopped struggling instantly. They disappeared. Deyou. The zombie marks on his body disappeared. Deyou. Deyou. Everyone should go home now. Go home. Go home. Go home. Go home. Go home. Go home. Man gets away from misfortunes.
Misfortune get away from man. I hereby employ this good root to pray for all mortal beings to be safe from every calamity. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Ashes and dust float to heaven; the earth is the mother of all. How dare you lie in a coffin? Mother.
How dare you do something so ominous? Stop. It was an act, alright? I’m sure that bomb was defused. It can’t have exploded again. So that must have been a second one. You mean there is more than one bomb beneath the Evil Water Source? Exactly. I was underwater then. How could I have survived
If I had detonated the bomb? We were about to make it out of the cavern when an explosion occurred from another direction. The cavern caved in, and water surged out instantly. We got dispersed. I see. Have you got anything else to say, river monster Guo Deyou? Don’t build a grave for me.
It’d be unsightly. Just erect a monument to me. In your dream. Fortunately, I had excellent breath-holding skills. An ordinary man would have been killed by that iron hook alone. The governor had to display power on assuming office. I wouldn’t have played this scapegoat but for the sake
Of my junior fellow disciple, Secretary-General Ding. Be nicer to me, will you? I’m nice to you, Deyou. Isn’t it comfortable, Deyou? Yep. Oh, right. What the heck did you daub on me the other day? I still feel itchy all over. I used tortoise urine and isatis root, high-quality pigments for drawing misfortune-dispelling symbols.
They look bright when freshly applied, but disappear within two hours. The vaccine wouldn’t have taken effect so quickly. We should use more joss paper. It’ll look more convincing when people come to offer their condolences. Look at all this joss paper. It’s like snowflakes fluttering in the air.
Come on. It’s not your own funeral. I’ve painted your back. Turn over, Deyou. OK. Brother Niu, we’ve got to rehearse the lines. Come on. Secretary-General Ding sacrificed fraternity to righteousness by destroying the river monster. No. You’ve got to say it louder so that I’ll get worked up and push you.
Brother Niu, restrain yourself a little bit then. Don’t push me too hard. Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go over it again. OK. Let’s rehearse in the courtyard. If the painting is done, go and lie in the coffin already. Don’t let others see you. Gu Ying is really strong.
She’d been in a hemorrhage-induced coma for a long time, yet when she came to, she almost gave my medical staff a good beating. The vaccine developed with her serum surely worked wonders. You gave me a shot of the vaccine? Didn’t we agree that it’d be an act?
Three doses of normal saline would do. Why didn’t you suggest the injection of some yellow wine instead? I’ll pass on the wine. Another liter of warm water, please. OK. Praise the sage Samantabhadra Bodhisattva! Since he assumed office as Governor of Tientsin, Ao Dan has got the water source pollution under full control
And exterminated the evil Mogudao Sect. The curve cut-off project is being carried out in an orderly way and the resumption of farming and fishing can be expected soon. Since the distribution of the vaccine by the Governor’s office, no new cases of virus infections, farm product infections or animal product infections have been reported.
According to the Tientsin Police Department, the emergence of the river monster is but a false rumor, and hence rumor mongering is strictly prohibited. I saw him breathe his last on the execution ground. Yeah. And he became a zombie. With the shot of the vaccine, he came back to life.
The foreign injection proves quite effective. Now that it’s given for free, we might as well give it a shot. Guo Deyou the condemned prisoner nullified his hanging with the help of his breath-holding skills. He entered a state of suspended animation and later showed symptoms of Mogudao Virus,
Proving that he isn’t the Chosen One of Mogudao. Therefore, his arrest warrant shall be revoked, and he shall no longer be identified as a member of Mogudao. River monsters do not exist. Rumors gain no credence from the people. As luck would have it, our four heroes, namely,
Guo Deyou, Ding Mao, Gu Ying and Xiao Lanlan, survived the explosion of the Evil Water Source. But the explosion turned the entire Tientsin into a mess. Lian Huaqing had vanished and was nowhere to be found. The new iron-handed governor ordered Ding Mao to assassinate Xiao Lanlan’s father.
Ding Mao carried out the order and successfully took Xiao Yan’s place, hence the animosity between him and his girlfriend Xiao Lanlan, daughter of the assassinated official. After falling into the toxic water badly wounded, Little Sorceress Gu Ying miraculously survived and showed no sign of infection. Sure enough, her serum proved useful
In developing a virus vaccine, which was then put into production and distributed. And Little River God Guo Deyou put on a zombie show with the help of his friends and was finally acquitted of his charges. Ding Mao firmed up his official position. Gu Ying was discharged from the hospital.
The tumult subsided to the satisfaction of all. But Tientsin was to witness new mysteries, and murder cases would occur again. Mr. Cui is really drunk. We beg your forgiveness. I’ll foot the bill for any opera you request next time you come to our theater, OK? It’s a deal, then.
Sorry. Sorry. I’m so sorry. What’s going on? Sorry. How dare you spoil the fun of our birthday party? Sorry. Sorry. Now that Tientsin is ruled by the Grain Transporting Chamber of Commerce, you think you can treat our Yishengmen Gang any way you please, huh? Bastard. How dare we do that? We all know
That at least half of Tientsin follows your lead, Mr. Cui. Do you know why I’m here today? We surely do, sir. The peach-shaped birthday cake is being prepared in the kitchen. Mrs. Cui, happy birthday and many happy returns of the day. Thank you. So I won’t bother you any more.
The dishes will be served in no time. Hold on. Say some more. Your birthday greetings sounded even better than the opera. Mrs. Cui, may you live a long and happy life and may your fortune be as boundless as the East Sea. Wonderful. Wonderful. Don’t you feel ashamed to face your wife? Bravo. Bravo.
Here’s our finest tonic ginseng soup for you and the missus, sir. Please enjoy it. Are we here to celebrate your birthday or to attend a funeral? Boss. Boss. Boss.
