Nanmao and Beima (2023) Movie Script

1
That night,
when the mayor's son and his
men returned to the northeast
they passed a mass grave on the way.
Even in broad daylight,
few people dare to go there.
But the young master just
didn't believe in those things.
He insisted on traveling at night.
Young Master!
What's going on?
The weather is changing.
Let's find a place to settle down
and go tomorrow.
OK.
Let's find a place to rest today
and leave tomorrow.
Okay.
Let's go.
It's so cold here.
Yes.
Young Master.
It's done.
Rest early.
Take a leak?
Wait for me. I'll go too.
You haven't finished yet?
Let's go.
Ah!
What's wrong?
Get up!
Check what's going on.
Ah!
During the period of the Republic of China,
warlords fought constantly.
In 1922,
after the first war between
the Zhili and Fengtian cliques,
the Fengtian clique retreated
from the Shanhai Pass
to recuperate
and wait for a chance
to enter the Pass again.
In the suburbs of Shanhai Pass,
there was a Zishui Town.
It was located
at the junction inside
and outside of the Pass,
where people from all over the country
came to avoid war.
There were many mysterious
people and things
hidden in plain sight.
There are many mountains and
forests outside the Pass.
Strange legends about this place
have been passed down from ancient times
and engraved in people's hearts.
Do you have food?
Please, give me some food.
Take pity on me.
Sir, please have some mercy.
The young master of the mayor
has been doing business inside
the Pass for a few years ago.
He came back this year to visit his family.
But he messed with something he
shouldn't have on his way back.
There were eight of them.
Only the Young Master
came back crazily.
There's a female ghost in
the Mountain Spirit Temple.
And the God of Mountains
won't do anything about it?
Stop talking nonsense.
What female ghost?
Have you heard of the Five Immortals?
The Fox, Weasel, Snake, Python, and Ghost.
The Five Immortals.
Immortals?
How dare a female ghost
cause trouble in the temple?
The young master
went crazy as soon as he came home.
He changed a lot in a few days.
He changed...
Tell us!
He changed
like a fox.
The yellow-haired beast
should return to the forest.
God should return to the temple.
The ghost should return to his grave.
The yellow-haired beast
should return to the forest.
The yellow-haired beast
should return to the forest.
God,
please save my son.
Please save my son!
Give my son back!
You can't come out!
-Let me out!
You can't come out!
-Let me out!
Go back!
Close the door.
Close the door!
Close the door now!
God.
Please save my son.
What are you talking about?
Captain Liu.
You're still up so late?
The war is raging lately.
Many new faces
come to our Zishui Town.
How can I go to bed at ease?
Yes.
Captain Liu.
Thank you for your service.
Have some tea.
Captain Liu.
Captain Liu.
Who are these people?
-Bastard, let's see where you can run!
-Dad, I'm sorry!
Stop!
-Stop beating me!
Where can you run? Come here!
So disobedient!
How dare you!
Uncles, please come and say something.
Wang Laoliu hit his kid again!
Wang Laoliu!
You hit your kid after drinking?
Who!
He hasn't been home for days.
I'm his father.
-What's wrong with me hitting him?
-Put me down!
Behind you!
I can't control you anymore, right?
Not to mention you're his father,
even if you are his grandfather,
I...
I'll step in for sure!
Who the hell are you?
You're right.
I can't beat my child.
Get lost!
Dad.
I'm going to find Uncle Ying.
I'll be back later.
You stop right there!
You brat, I'll wait for you to come home!
Alright.
You guys continue.
I'll go check somewhere else.
Take care.
Captain Liu.
Come back here often.
Go on.
What happened later?
Later?
Later,
it was all thanks to Uncle Ying.
Uncle Ying?
Who is Uncle Ying?
There is a pharmacy
in the south of our town,
called Hongshan Hall.
The manager
is He Jiuying.
We all
call him Uncle Ying.
Uncle Ying
was alone and helpless as a child.
He traveled around with a Taoist master.
It is said that
Uncle Ying and his master
are the Maoshan Taoists
who can subdue demons.
In the early years,
they went up north
to here to avoid wars.
Later,
Uncle Ying's master
died of the illness.
So Uncle Ying
opened a pharmacy
to help the people here
and gain a good title, "Kind Taoist."
Sky Water.
Heaven-Earth Sticks.
Heaven and earth, and Yin and Yang.
The dark is dark.
The light is light.
Demon, show yourself now!
Order!
Freeze!
Run!
What is this?
Such great skills.
Have you seen it with your eyes?
No, I haven't.
But
there was a plague
in our Zishui Town last year.
If it weren't for Uncle Ying,
I'm afraid
there wouldn't be many
people left in the town.
Uncle Ying
is really kind and has healing hands.
I heard
there is a coffin home
in this town.
Why did you bring that up
in the middle of the night?
How unlucky.
Then I'll tell you something
about the coffin home.
This coffin home
is located in the northern
suburbs of our town.
It's established specially
to collect bodies,
donate coffins,
and bury them
for people who died because of bandits
or died a violent death in the forest.
It is said that this coffin room
was established in the Kangxi
Period of the Qing Dynasty.
The owner
is Jiang Tao.
The Jiang family
has inherited their ancestral
teachings for generations
and worships a memorial
tablet for immortals here.
Folks are saying
that Jiang Tao's ancestors
were Immortal Animals of Shamanism
bestowed by the emperor.
They have
the Five Loong Tokens,
The Fox, Weasel, Snake, Python, and Ghost.
But more people say
that Jiang Tao is alone
and lives in seclusion.
He uses bodies to cultivate dark magic
in secret.
So,
normally,
the north of the town
is hunted
and no one dares to approach.
All the corpses are here?
Yes.
Whether it's a legend
or the truth.
What are immortals and Buddhas?
What are demons and ghosts?
You're from the inside of the Pass, right?
These days,
people who came here to avoid wars
are...
A war broke out in one day.
So there are tens of
thousands of ghost soldiers.
The immortals, Hedgehog, Snake, and Mouse,
got out of the Shanhai Pass.
Give my child back!
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
I don't know your child.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
I don't know your child.
It has nothing to do with me.
I don't know.
I don't know your child.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me!
What's wrong?
What now?
Master!
Young Master is crazy again.
Young Master is crazy again!
Help! Help!
Steward!
Young Master has gone crazy again.
Go get Uncle Ying!
Okay.
Uncle Ying.
Didn't you say he would be fine after
taking the nerve-soothing medicine?
Why did he...
You damn Taoist.
How dare you show yourself off
in front of me with all you've got?
What should we do?
What should we do now?
Uncle Ying.
What should we do?
Master,
there are three immortals
outside wishing to see you.
Invite them in now.
Little damn Taoist,
since you're so nosy,
then die with him for my child.
I thought
it was that little lady
from the Fox Family.
It turns out to be a little fox.
Master.
Master.
Please save my son.
Save my son.
It doesn't matter.
The Fox took over his body.
What I did just now
suppressed it.
Young Master
will be fine tonight.
But if you want him to fully recover,
we must set up an altar
and conduct a Taoist rite tomorrow
to ask the Fox
to leave.
Since you don't trust me,
I won't bother you.
Wait, Master.
Master, wait.
Master, wait!
Master.
You must be tired
from the long trip.
Steward.
Lead him to rest in my main room.
Tomorrow, please set up an altar
and save my son's life!
Yes.
This way, please.
This way, please.
Hold your young master back in the room.
Hurry up!
Yes.
The situation is unstable.
Battles broke out constantly.
In order to protect one place
and its people,
we now collect
a special war tax.
Five yuan per person.
Laoliu.
With your condition,
you can't drink anymore.
Do you hear him?
Stop drinking.
You kid!
Pay him up.
Now!
Yes!
Money.
Money...
The money is here.
Yes.
Go play.
Doggie
often comes to help me.
Normally,
I have to pay him.
No. I want no wages.
Take the medicine.
After that,
you can come back.
It's so embarrassing.
Stop it.
Let's go.
Do you like it?
It's yours.
Say "thank you" to Uncle Ying.
Thank you, Uncle Ying.
It's okay.
-Look at him.
What can I do?
The medicine, I...
Take them back.
Alright.
Thanks a lot, sir.
Our Mr. Bai
will come and visit you another day.
Immortal Bai.
If you need anything,
just tell me.
Before midnight,
hang the gold plaque
and long red silks
and set up the altar.
Nine cups of rice wine,
three bowls of tea,
roast chicken, eggs,
dumplings, noodles, steamed buns,
oranges, bananas,
peaches,
a pig head, a carp,
and shrimps.
Invite the Immortal here
to get rid of the demons
and secure the peace.
Called God, and he answered.
Stop the horse and ask where you're from.
Cross the bridge to visit my hometown.
Ask me where I came from.
Ask me about the name of my hometown.
Light the lights on the high mountain.
See a sea of flowers.
Talk more about the South.
The second, and third of the ten
Heavenly stems and the fire in the south.
Avoid the Water to take root.
Live in Nanyang City, Southern Province.
Cultivate on Mount Wutai.
There is a Sunlit Cave
in front of the mountain,
a Shady Pavilion in the back,
a horse farm in the east,
and a Horsepond Pavilion in the west.
Hung a plaque on the Sunlit Cave.
Trained in the Shady Pavilion.
I have told you where I'm from.
I ask for a title
to help you.
The six Gods of the South
announced their names.
The seven Gods of the
North ask for the title.
The three Gods of the East
worship the sun and moon.
The four Gods of the
West trained the soldier.
Learned literature and martial
arts in front of the Guandi temple.
Offer flowers and wear the dress
in front of the Goddess Temple.
There are three lights on Buddha's head.
Pass by the Golden Palace
and throw the stick away.
Drank the Milky Way's water.
Read several scriptures
of the Tang Dynasty.
Hid in the mountain in the peaceful years.
Came out in the year of Chongzhen,
Catch the Immortals.
Traveled everywhere to ask for help.
Everywhere helps out.
Not the sixth generation of the Weasel,
but the ninth generation of the Hedgehog.
One flag is rising in the air.
The army follows the general,
and the grass follows the wind.
The head of the sect,
Tianyue of the Bai family,
came to the Divine Army Camp
to meet all the Gods there.
Say to me in front of the altar.
Talk to me in front of the altar.
Dad.
I'm going out to play.
Go play.
Get up.
He's really up.
He's floating.
Who called my name?
May I ask
which immortal you are?
Who do you think you are?
How dare you ask my name?
Get lost!
Give me some liquor.
Hu Xiaocui!
Stop messing around!
Get back!
Mr. Three.
I'm not messing around.
The fox-made hat on his head
I saw in the Mountain Spirit Temple
the other day looked familiar.
When I looked closer,
it turned out that it was
made of my youngest son's fur!
I will make him
pay for this!
How dare you think you're
not messing around?
The one who slaughtered
my race must be a hunter.
It has nothing to do with him!
Leave now!
I...
Leave!
I...
I will.
Hurry up! Help him up!
Help him up!
Young Master, come on!
Be careful.
Young Master.
Are you okay?
Young Master.
Although it is
not his fault,
that hat
was indeed made of the
fur of Immortal Hu's son.
Everything has its cause and effect.
I protected you today.
But she can't calm her anger.
This yellow paper and that hat
should be enshrined for 49 days.
Then he'll be fine.
This is the sorcerer's
dance from North Pass!
Uncle Ying is here.
Don't be bewitched by witchcraft!
Young Master was just frightened
and got his primordial spirit hurt.
He needs to be treated with medicine.
He'll recover in three months
after taking the medicine.
Are you Uncle Ying?
I heard that you had learned
Maoshan Technique since young.
You should eliminate
evil, safeguard justice,
and save the people.
Instead, you misled the people
for personal gain.
He was possessed by Immortal Hu,
but you've prescribed some
pointless herbal medicines for him.
What are you up to?
Uncle Ying!
Mayor.
Don't believe their nonsense.
It'll make Young Master's condition worse.
Listen, Uncle Ying!
Don't be stubborn.
What we saw just now is true.
We all saw how Immortal Bai did exorcism.
We all saw how Immortal Bai did exorcism.
He sent Immortal Hu away.
If you really offend him,
and it comes back again,
you'll get us trapped.
Am I right? Yes.
Look what you did.
Father.
Son! Son! Young Master!
Son!
You're awake!
Thank you for saving me.
Please accept my gratitude.
Uncle Ying!
Uncle Ying!
You're in big trouble!
The resentment of Hu Xiaocui
has not completely dissipated yet.
This Uncle Ying slandered him,
violating the taboo of the Five Immortals.
Zishui Town will be in trouble.
Immortal Bai,
are there any solutions?
Mayor,
don't believe their nonsense.
Our Zishui Town has been
safe for generations.
There is no evil thing.
I think
there must be something wrong.
Good luck.
Let's go.
Master.
Immortal Bai!
Immortal Bai!
Immortal Bai!
Please wait.
Please stay.
Thank you for saving my son.
I have a residence
in the city.
It's located
in a good place.
Please accept it.
Mayor.
You're welcome.
In that case,
I want to make a bet with Uncle Ying.
If the town is safe,
we will come to apologize.
If something bad happens in the town...
What do you want?
Leave Zishui Town
and never come back!
I'll get you some water.
Tell me
who will win
between Uncle Ying and the three immortals?
It must be Uncle Ying.
Uncle Ying is kind-hearted.
He treats the people of the town well.
Besides,
in our Zishui Town,
except for the people from the coffin home,
no such a thing happened.
I don't believe in the three immortals!
A while ago, the Mayor's Young Master
got possessed by Immortal Hu.
Everyone saw it, right?
Yes.
Who can tell the truth?
You're coming.
Let's go.
As long as it's not a
fight between immortals,
it's a good thing
if ghosts will be in trouble.
Right?
Are you drunk again?
I drink a little every day.
Let me tell you.
That day,
when Mayor's son
got possessed...
You little brat.
Where did you go last night?
Father.
How old are you?
I...
I'm asking you.
What are you talking about?
Father.
How old are you?
You...
Do you want a beating?
Then I'll give you one.
Father.
How old are you?
I...
I am
Forty-four.
Why are you still alive?
I...
You little brat, did you curse me?
Mr. Bai.
Immortal Hu, please show your mercy.
Don't kill anyone.
Who is it?
Father.
It's me.
Why are you still alive?
I'll kill you!
Kill you!
I'll kill you!
Who are you?
How dare you show yourself
in the broad daylight,
disregarding the Way of Heaven?
Given the current world,
there's no such thing as broad daylight.
Dream on!
You're not allowed to do anything evil!
Uncle Ying, something terrible happened!
Wang Laoliu and Doggie are dead!
Captain,
there are words written on the bed.
Take it out.
Yes.
Hurry up!
Flying snow in the sky mourns the dead.
The father and son fought against each
other, which is against the ethic.
On July 15 of the Chinese calendar,
the ghost soldiers will
destroy Zishui Town.
Who can explain it to me?
I told you
Zishui Town would be in trouble.
Uncle Ying,
this happened because of you.
You would be the one who ends it.
Since Nanmao is as famous as Beima,
Lord of Dao and Ancestor Tongtian
are both created
by means of the Qi Technique.
Go back to the Pass now.
Don't ever leave the Pass!
Ridiculous!
Nonsense!
Immortal Hu has been furious
and made this town a route
for the ghost soldiers!
On July 15 of the Chinese calendar,
a disaster is going to come.
From today onwards,
we will guard this place
to ensure peace for the people.
I'm going to exorcise
these two corpses,
in case of any emergencies.
Wait.
It's unfortunate
for the two to have been murdered.
But you don't let them be laid to rest.
What are you up to?
Uncle Ying.
You have no right to speak here.
Do you have?
I don't care about exorcism.
According to the rules,
transfer the corpses to the coffin home.
As to you...
Take him away.
And take away the evidence as well.
What happened?
Here's the thing.
My master, Mr. Bai, said
that he was not good at medicine.
He cheated with Dao and Technique.
From now on,
this clinic
will not be open anymore.
Let's go!
Immortal Bai is here.
Come on.
Unveil the plaque.
Please.
A hundred Silver Dollars
and a piece of red coral
from Mayor's Young Master, Qin Hansheng,
for being a disciple.
Master, have some tea.
Five Silver Dollars
from Farmer Liuzi
for being a disciple.
Fifty Silver Dollars
and a pair of emerald horses
from Zhang Wenzhi of
the Zhang's Cloth Market
for being a disciple.
I didn't expect it
to happen at all.
Uncle Ying is such a person.
Yes.
I always respected him.
He even didn't let go of the child.
Bah!
Time to eat!
Captain.
Stand up.
Someone is here to redeem you.
Who is it?
He has spent his money.
Who cares?
Who are you?
Tell me your name.
Did he go?
Yes.
Who is it?
Is it fun to scare me at night?
Come out!
Oh my God!
Fattie San
had a high fever when he arrived home.
He kept talking nonsense.
Early in the morning,
he was sent to the Three Immortals Hall.
The person you mentioned
is Fattie San who sells
steamed buns in the south city?
Right.
Not just him.
This morning,
three or four households
were just like him.
After drinking the well water,
they had the same symptom
after going home.
People from Three Immortals Hall say
a disaster is coming to the town.
Drinking their holy water
can keep you safe.
Done.
I'm exhausted.
Ask Mr. Black to do this next time.
If you have the guts, just tell her.
What's the use of complaining to me?
I can't afford to offend you.
All right?
It's you guys who did something
to the well water.
My friend, nice to meet you.
Don't blame me for taking action.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Folks,
I have the antidote for the well water.
I'll give it to you for free.
Don't be cheated.
It's him
who angered Immortal Hu.
Now the town is in chaos
just because of
Uncle Ying.
You give it for free.
But who knows what it is?
Do you dare to take it?
Do you?
Do you dare?
We dare not!
We dare not. That's right.
Let Uncle Ying
to get out of Zishui Town!
Yes, Uncle Ying, get out!
Yes, get out!
Get out!
Get out!
Get out of the town!
Get out of Zishui Town!
Get out!
Don't come back. Just go!
Get out! Get out!
Mr. Bai is too kind.
Mr. Bai
saved my son
and took him as his disciple.
Why did he
return the money to me?
We're new here.
We have to rely on you.
Of course, we can't accept it.
I dare not disobey
what you said.
Please accept it.
Well.
What should we do?
Then...
Please say thank you to Mr. Bai for me.
Not Mr. Bai.
I
Give it to you.
Come out.
I've heard a lot about you.
Now that I see you,
I'm fonder of you.
You are prestigious
but live here alone.
Aren't you lonely?
If you want,
I'm willing to accompany you day and night.
We can work together
to achieve a great cause. What do you say?
Work together?
You?
Qing'er,
why are you here?
You're following me?
I told you
not to mess with Jiang Tao.
Or do you
have another plan?
Don't talk nonsense.
If you
take care of what we agreed,
I'll be yours.
If we both
remain silent,
who will know?
Don't worry.
I've prepared yours for you.
After this,
you don't have to serve others anymore.
I failed in this operation.
Please punish me.
As expected.
It's okay.
Raise your head.
In this world,
it's hard to tell between
immortals and Buddhas.
The truth
depends on the people.
Whom
are you belong to?
Pretty.
Pretty.
Give me a kiss.
Come on.
You're so bad.
Help!
Help!
Have you heard?
Last night,
the ghost soldiers came.
The news has gone viral.
I didn't even dare to
light a lamp last night.
That's right.
Let me tell you.
When I went out in the morning,
the street was full of joss paper.
I also heard that they
would capture human beings,
when the ghost soldiers pass by.
If the ghost soldiers come to us,
we'll die.
It's almost the 15th day
of the 7th lunar month.
I don't know if we can
escape from the doom.
By the way,
hurry and go to the Three
Immortals Hall to get a talisman.
A Silver Dollar for a talisman,
which can keep one safe.
There's a long line in
the Three Immortals Hall.
It will be sold out if you go late.
Right.
Let's go.
Sir,
you sold me a pound of flour
at the price of a half dollar.
It's a robbery.
Give me either a coin
or a Silver Dollar.
A half dollar with the Feng Banknote.
If you think it is expensive,
you can buy the flour elsewhere.
Think about whose antidote you took.
You don't respect us in return, right?
Liuzi,
how many days have you joined
the Three Immortals Sect?
Do you think you are one of them?
Liuzi,
I'm not making things difficult
for the Three Immortals Hall.
You disciples
are shopping with the
Feng Banknotes every day,
which are worthless now.
Besides,
I have to exchange them
for Silver Dollars
to buy talismans.
Fine.
Let's wait and see.
Leave.
Please leave.
Please spare my life!
Why do you have so many Feng Banknotes?
Turns out you're from the underworld.
I know the rules.
You can have all the money.
I asked where you got the money.
Immortal Grey gave it to me,
saying it was a reward for us.
How much did he give you?
Everyone was rewarded
according to their contributions.
Some got a few hundred.
Others got more than thousands.
Do you have more?
Turn around!
No!
I know the rules.
I can't live after I see who you are.
I have a family.
Please show me mercy.
If you let me go,
I will go to the mountain
to pray to Buddha for you
to thank you for your kindness.
Cut the crap.
Be quiet!
Boss.
We beg you.
There are so many of us
who have run out of rice.
Look at the Feng Banknotes.
How could they be fake?
I don't care.
If you want to buy rice,
you have to pay in Silver Dollars.
Without the dollars,
you can't buy rice from me!
Hurry up! Close the door!
Mayor,
can you take my advice?
Didn't Immortal Bai
ask you to leave?
Why are you still here?
Bai, Liu, and Grey
colluded with Jiang Tao
from the coffin home
to cheat us
and harm the people to get the fortune.
Nonsense.
The three immortals
helped the people and the world
and blessed our town.
Recently,
evil things have happened frequently.
We all rely on them
to save us.
Don't you
get jealous
and talk nonsense!
One Silver Dollar
for a bowl of antidote.
One Silver Dollar for a piece of talisman.
The people are starving.
Isn't that a disaster for the people?
Mayor!
Mayor!
Bad news!
What happened?
Why are you panicking?
Immortal Grey...
What's wrong with him?
He's gone!
What?
Immortal Grey!
Immortal Grey!
What's wrong with him?
What happened?
Mayor,
have you seen that?
My brother Grey Wuchang
led his disciples for exorcism
to fight against the
ghost soldiers last night
to save the whole town.
When the ghost soldiers were
finally forced to retreat,
his soul was destroyed.
He's gone
today.
My condolences
go to you.
Immortal Grey
died unfortunately to protect
the peace of our town.
We will organize a donation
to build a temple for him
for not forgetting his kindness!
Right.
Who did it?
Don't touch him!
Mayor, you're here too.
How dare you insult my brother's body!
Young Master.
Someone claimed
you were there when the ghost
soldiers occupied the path last night.
Did you do all this?
I...
Although we are not from the same sect,
you can also be regarded as one of us.
Why did you kill him?
Arrest him
and put him in jail!
Mayor!
Yes.
What are you waiting for?
Arrest him!
Yes, Sir.
Move.
Follow the rules of Nature,
which are full of extreme Yang and Yin.
Yin and Yang take turns.
Day and night take turns.
Everything in the world
follows the rules.
Master.
Master.
The good and the evil
and the right and the wrong in the world
lie in one thought.
Don't abandon the good thoughts.
Remember.
Remember.
Uncle Ying, time to eat.
This...
Where is he?
I'm sorry.
He Jiuying, a disciple of the Sanqing Sect,
wants to wipe out the evil
and clear up the chaotic world.
Please bless me.
Help!
Mr. Bai has gone!
Help!
Help!
You killed Grey Wuchang
and then Mr. Bai.
What else can you say?
Someone else is the culprit.
Go after him!
Is he dead?
Yes.
He deserves it.
Yes.
He deserves.
You guys go that way.
Go.
Yes.
Stop!
Stop!
Who are you?
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Captain!
Uncle Ying killed Mr. Bai.
What?
Mr. Bai?
What are you waiting for?
Go after him!
Yes, Sir!
Follow him!
Don't let him escape!
Why are you hesitating?
Did you do all of these?
I'm asking you, why are you hesitating?
Do you think I dare not kill you
to enforce justice for Heaven?
Bai, Liu, and Grey are evil.
You knew it all along.
Now,
why are you hesitating?
Even so,
do you dare to say it has
nothing to do with you?
It is.
There are a lot of people outside.
And many policemen.
Don't panic.
Take the secret tunnel.
You
go there.
You
go there.
The rest go to the front.
Yes, Sir.
Hurry up.
Captain.
No one is here.
Captain, no one.
Captain, no one is inside.
Are they really able to use witchcraft?
Let's go!
Who are you?
Immortal Animals
from North Pass.
How about Bai, Liu, and Grey?
They cheated the world
with the immortals' etiquette.
Was it you
who released me out of jail?
There have been many strange
things in the town lately.
What do you think?
I've checked
the bodies of the servants
of the mayor's young master.
Judging from the wounds,
they were all killed by sharp weapons.
Besides,
before they died,
they had inhaled an illusion powder.
At the Shaman exorcism ceremony
held in the mayor's house that night,
Liu Qing'er
burned this hallucinogenic powder
and made everyone there
create an illusion.
As for Wang Laoliu and Doggie's death,
you should know better than us.
Wang Laoliu and Doggie
were also hallucinating
and died of shock.
The people of Three Immortal
Hall used the ritual as an excuse
to claim the body,
presumably to destroy evidence.
Grey Wuchang didn't get a
chance to dispose of the body.
He was afraid of things being exposed
and came to the coffin home in the middle
of the night to destroy the evidence,
but I saw him accidentally.
How about the ghost by the well?
The ghost by the well was also
the trick of Three Immortal Hall.
They poisoned the well water.
After the villagers were poisoned,
they were making money
by giving the villagers water
with the antidote.
These days in the town,
ghost stories can be heard everywhere,
all because of their people.
But you were by the well that day?
Of course, we were there to detoxify.
It was exhausting.
Then did the ghost
soldiers occupy the path?
Tomorrow is the 15th day
of the 7th lunar month,
and you'll find out.
In that case,
why don't we work together
and give the people of the town a truth?
What do you want to do?
Today is the 15th day of the 7th
lunar month, the Ghost Festival.
The ghost gate is open.
The ghost soldiers will occupy our path.
To ensure the safety of
the town's residents,
no one is allowed on the streets
after sunset.
If anyone disobeys,
it is at their own risk.
What?
What is this?
The ghost soldiers are captured!
The ghost soldiers are captured!
Help!
Look.
Get out of the way!
Move aside!
Surround here!
Untie the bag!
Immortal Liu?
It's her.
What's going on?
Get lost.
Tell me.
What happened?
Tell me.
I'll shoot you if you don't say.
I'll tell you.
We were
bandits,
passing by here
to deliver something.
Is that all?
That's it?
Besides being the ghost soldier,
has Immortal Llu
also been the female ghost?
I'm the ghost of the
Mountain Spirit Temple.
Are you afraid?
Why do you kill Grey Wuchang?`
He deserves to die.
Hes just an adviser.
How can he be the Master
and possess me?
As long as we don't tell,
who knows?
Don't worry.
I've prepared yours money for you.
After this,
you don't have to serve others anymore.
I told Mr. Bai
that
Grey wanted to embezzle money
and collude with Fengtian.
Let Mr. Bai
to punish him according to the rules.
Bai,
I've worked hard for you for so many years.
How can you treat me like this?
Bro,
I don't want to.
But you are ambitious.
I can't have people around who betray me.
Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai. I'm sorry, Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai, I'm wrong.
Please give me another chance.
Mr. Bai.
Please give me another chance.
Liu Qing'er, you...
What about Mr. Bai?
He's even more damn.
When I was 16,
he raped me.
He used my body
to complete his plan step by step.
That day, when I saw him kill Grey Wuchang,
I knew he wouldn't tolerate
me sooner or later.
He's too suspicious.
Where
does your heart belong?
If I stay by his side,
I will only become the next Grey Wuchang.
So,
I poisoned his tea.
You...
You...
I'm the Master now.
What Three Immortal Hall?
I'm the only immortal.
Crazy woman!
Tell me where the accomplice is!
You are evil!
I even called you master.
You even pretended to be
a ghost and lied to me.
A demon like her
should
be arrested immediately
and banished to Fengtian.
Dislodge the demon,
bring our peace!
Dislodge the demon, bring our peace!
Dislodge the demon, bring our peace!
Dislodge the demon, bring our peace!
Dislodge the demon, bring our peace!
Dislodge the demon... Someone is coming!
These guys
are fooling around in Zishui Town
and collecting money.
This is the evidence.
Lord Jiang,
you are a righteous man.
I admire you.
Don't flatter me just yet.
It's not over.
Young Master,
why are you so flustered?
Do you want the waiter to tell them,
or do you want to
tell them yourself?
Tell us.
Yes, tell us.
I have long believed that
the Three Immortal Hall is not good.
But what has been bothering me was that
Young Master
had been taking drugs
that hadn't been cured,
how could he be cured once he met
this group of people?
Are
they really skilled in spells?
Now you see,
all they do is playing tricks.
Then,
there is only one possibility.
Unless
he was pretending.
The Young Master in our town
bribed the waiter
and spread false rumors.
I planned to arrest the waiter and let
him get punished according to the law,
but I didn't expect
there to be another thing.
Go to the Inner Pass
and hand this letter to General Wu.
Tell him
it's done.
Okay, Young Master.
Young Master went out
not for business,
but to Zhili clique.
Young Master is in poor health.
He can't fight,
but he's smart.
He is good at harming the people.
The warlords are fighting
and they are lack of money.
So he lets these guys
cheat money.
Pretend to be a ghost,
poison in the well water
let ghost soldiers occupy paths.
All of this is to drain you
of your hard-earned cash.
They even cruelly killed seven attendants,
Wang Laoliu and Doggie.
He isn't the Young Master.
Kill Uncle Ying.
Cozy up to Jiang Tao.
We're the only ones
who control this town.
Yes.
Where are the counterfeit money?
Don't worry, Young Master.
We have made a thorough plan.
On the 15th day of the 7th
month of the lunar calendar,
we'll deliver these out of town when
the ghost soldiers occupy the paths
without anyone knowing.
Sir,
can you give the little ball back to me?
Why are you so cruel
to a child?
Leave him to me.
Good boy, this is for you.
Wait.
I have a gift for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Go play.
This
is their real purpose.
They smuggled a large
batch of counterfeit money.
To hide this truth,
they used the excuse of ghost
soldiers will occupy paths at night
and wanted to transport
counterfeit money to Fengtian.
If counterfeit money is circulated
everywhere at that time,
then the price will skyrocket.
This harms not just one family,
or one town,
but the whole northeast of China
will suffer.
Didn't you say
you wanted to do business
and make some money?
How could you
kill so many innocent people?
You bastard!
You bastard!
What do you want?
Master.
Master.
If Liu Qing'er hadn't betrayed me,
would you have the right
to judge me now?
You're nobody.
You're just a bunch of fools.
Quiet!
There are no ghosts in this world.
Those heartless people
are the ghosts.
What a Maoshan Taoist!
You want me to die?
OK.
When General Wu's army arrives,
you,
you,
and you,
you all will die with me.
You are really out of your mind.
Put them in prison,
and send them to Fengtian later
for General Zhang to make a decision.
Let's go!
Get up.
Get up.
Don't move.
Go!
Go!
Master!
Master!
Alright.
It's okay.
The case is closed.
Go home.
Look.
Why don't we give everyone
their money back?
Alright.
Give them back.
Line up.
Hurry up.
Sir, this is your tea.
Coming.
We have to leave here
after this glass of tea.
Don't stay overnight here.
What's wrong?
Something is wrong with this town.
It's not safe here.
A few years ago, there were ghost
soldiers occupying the paths.
Really?
I can't fool you.
Waiter.
Do you know the Ghost Soldiers' story?
Yes.
Tell us.
This story
begins with the ghost in
the Mountain Spirit Temple.
Look behind us.
There's a big yard in our backyard, right?
One night,
I didn't know who left the door unlocked,
so I went out
to lock it.
I heard a dog
kept barking,
kept barking.
So I went over there.
How could it bark like that?
