[00:58] ---
You! Out of the way.
[03:55] ---
Zhao, is everything all right?
Are you hurt?
[03:58] ---
I'm fine.
[04:08] ---
Those two women... Were they...?
[04:11] ---
In any case,
Nan Feng has lured them away.
[04:14] ---
They won't be back for a while.
[04:17] ---
It's getting late. We need to hurry.
[04:21] ---
Zhao, where in the city does
the Good-Moon herb grow?
[04:27] ---
I don't know, I'm sorry.
All I know is how to get to the city.
[04:32] ---
They say the Good-Moon has a thin
stem and broad, peach-shaped leaves.
[04:36] ---
It's small and thrives in shade,
so it's usually found near tall buildings.
[04:39] ---
Tall buildings?
[04:50] ---
As the legend goes, it was the Queen
who plucked the herb, and--
[04:54] ---
Wait a minute, what legend?
[04:57] ---
There's a legend saying that the
King of Half-Moon Kingdom once
[04:59] ---
killed two venomous creatures that
had done no wrong. A snake and a scorpion.
[05:02] ---
They bore a bitter grudge,
[05:03] ---
and the Scorpion-Tailed
Snake is said to be their progeny.
[05:05] ---
But... what does that have to
do with the Good-Moon plant?
[05:08] ---
After the King killed the two
creatures, the Queen, out of pity,
[05:11] ---
plucked a leaf from a Good-Moon herb
and laid it over their bodies.
[05:14] ---
Since then, the plant has been an
antidote for scorpion-tailed snake venom.
[05:19] ---
That means--
[05:20] ---
The Good-Moon plant
must grow in the royal palace.
[05:24] ---
That's where we have to go. Come on!
[05:39] ---
We don't have much time.
Let's split up and search for it.
[05:41] ---
--Got it.
--All right.
[06:13] ---
Master! Don't hurt me!
It's me, it's me!
[06:16] ---
What are you doing here?
[06:17] ---
Are you really Tian Sheng?
[06:19] ---
Yes, it's me! I came with a few others.
[06:23] ---
They're inside.
Take a look, if you don't believe me!
[06:27] ---
Everyone!
[06:31] ---
Tian Sheng?
[06:32] ---
--I'm over here!
--Tian Sheng!
[06:35] ---
What are all of you doing here?
[06:37] ---
We didn't know when you'd be back,
so we decided to follow you here.
[06:42] ---
That was rash.
You know how dangerous it is!
[06:43] ---
Thank goodness you're all safe.
[06:46] ---
But how did you know that the Good-Moon
plant could be found in the royal palace?
[06:52] ---
We figured anything of value would
be locked up in the palace, so...
[06:56] ---
Found it.
[06:59] ---
This must be it.
[07:07] ---
Does it really work?
[07:22] ---
I feel much better.
[07:24] ---
--He's healed?
--That's incredible!
[07:27] ---
--Quick! Let's look for more.
--Thank you, San Lang.
[07:29] ---
Yes!
[07:31] ---
I'll look over here!
[07:32] ---
I'll search over there!
[07:45] ---
I found some here, too!
[07:47] ---
It's huge!
[07:48] ---
Where did you find that, Zhao?
[07:51] ---
Come on!
Let's search the spot where he found it!
[07:53] ---
Pick as much as you can, we can sell this!
[08:00] ---
The Good-Moon over there is no good.
[08:02] ---
Why not?
[08:06] ---
Was that you?
[08:07] ---
I-It wasn't me!
[08:09] ---
It wasn't me either!
[08:10] ---
Then who--
[08:15] ---
Get off! You're stepping on me!
[08:32] ---
It's a monster!
[08:34] ---
Don't panic. It's just a face.
We've all got one.
[08:41] ---
Did I scare you?
[08:44] ---
To be fair, I scare myself all the time.
[08:46] ---
Who are you?
[08:48] ---
Who are you?
[08:49] ---
We're from a caravan, just passing by.
[08:53] ---
Ah, I was once in a caravan.
Fifty-some years ago.
[08:57] ---
Th-Then how did you end up here, sir?
[09:01] ---
I was caught by Half-Moon soldiers
[09:05] ---
and buried here to feed
the Good- Moon plant.
[09:12] ---
The one I gave you didn't come from him.
[09:14] ---
Thanks. That was thoughtful.
[09:16] ---
I haven't seen a living soul for ages.
[09:19] ---
Come closer, all of you.
Let me get a good look at you.
[09:24] ---
What, you don't want to get too close?
Ah, that's a pity.
[09:29] ---
There's something I can't quite figure out.
I wanted to see if it was true.
[09:33] ---
What's that?
[09:38] ---
I've seen one of you before...
50 or so years ago.
[09:44] ---
Which of us do you mean?
[09:47] ---
Come closer and I'll tell you.
[09:50] ---
Back away, everyone. Don't listen to him.
[09:52] ---
Don't you want to know who it is?
He'll kill every last one of you.
[09:58] ---
No need to be afraid.
I'm human, too. I won't hurt you.
[10:07] ---
Don't touch it! Come back!
[10:19] ---
Tasty! Tasty!
[10:23] ---
So tasty!
[10:24] ---
I was starving. Starving!
[10:55] ---
General! They're over here!
[11:01] ---
Th-Those are Half-Moon soldiers!
[11:12] ---
Take them away.
[11:16] ---
Don't panic. They're just moving us.
They won't kill us just yet.
[11:21] ---
Everyone, sit tight and don't pull any
hasty moves. We'll have to improvise.
[11:24] ---
General! General!
[11:26] ---
I've helped you capture your foes.
Please, let me go home now!
[11:50] ---
What...? What is this?
[11:54] ---
It's your body.
[11:55] ---
Your flesh and blood are long gone,
consumed by the Good-Moon plant.
[11:58] ---
That... That's impossible!
You're a liar!
[12:01] ---
That's not my body!
[12:03] ---
Well, well.
[12:04] ---
Not so keen on having your
body back now, are you?
[12:07] ---
What were you sticking out
of your mouth just now?
[12:09] ---
What's the problem?
[12:10] ---
M-My tongue is just a bit
longer than most, that's all!
[12:15] ---
Just a bit.
[12:17] ---
You still think you're human?
[12:20] ---
Of course I am!
[12:24] ---
Some people have long tongues.
Yes, just a tad long, that's all.
[12:28] ---
I had to catch bugs with
my tongue to survive,
[12:30] ---
so it grew longer and longer,
till it ended up like this.
[12:37] ---
Those Central Plainers!
[12:39] ---
Serves them right!
[12:42] ---
I want to go home!
[12:43] ---
I can go home now!
[12:56] ---
They called their leader "General."
I wonder which general he is?
[13:00] ---
There was only one general at the
time of the Half-Moon Kingdom's fall.
[13:04] ---
His name means "Millstone."
[13:07] ---
Millstone?
[13:08] ---
They say he was often bullied as
a child, as he was small and weak.
[13:11] ---
So he trained with millstones to become
stronger. That's where he got his name.
[13:16] ---
"Strongman" would've
had more of a ring to it.
[13:21] ---
He is indeed incredibly strong,
[13:23] ---
as well as the most fearless general
in the Kingdom's history.
[13:25] ---
He's also a faithful supporter
of the Grand Preceptor.
[13:28] ---
Even in death?
[13:32] ---
Is he taking us to the
Grand Preceptor now?
[13:35] ---
Perhaps.
[13:43] ---
Is this...?
[13:47] ---
The Sinners' Pit.
[14:48] ---
Brothers!
[14:55] ---
Throw two of them in and lock the rest up!
[15:00] ---
Stay calm. If anything happens,
I'll handle it.
[15:12] ---
Zhao!
[15:25] ---
Zhao!
[15:38] ---
Help! Help!
[15:39] ---
Stay away from me!
[15:44] ---
Wait a moment, General.
[15:46] ---
Let go of me!
[15:47] ---
You speak our language?
[15:49] ---
Where are you from?
[15:51] ---
I'm from the Central Plain.
[15:53] ---
The Central Plain?
[15:54] ---
You're a descendant of Yong An?
[15:56] ---
No.
[15:57] ---
Yong An Kingdom is long gone,
together with its people.
[16:00] ---
Ha!
[16:02] ---
All people from the Central Plain
are descendants of Yong An!
[16:04] ---
They are our enemies!
[16:06] ---
--You scum!
--Liars!
[16:08] ---
Throw them in the pit!
[16:10] ---
Half-Moon Kingdom was
destroyed 200 years ago.
[16:13] ---
You're not one of us,
yet you speak our language.
[16:17] ---
Just who the hell are you?
[16:23] ---
Let go! Help!
[16:26] ---
General, let me go first.
[16:28] ---
Go first? Why?
[16:31] ---
General, these people are innocent.
[16:33] ---
They're just merchants going about their
business. They have children with them.
[16:35] ---
Ha!
[16:36] ---
When the Yong An army
slaughtered my people,
[16:39] ---
they didn't give a damn about
our merchants and children!
[16:44] ---
You stay here. I don't trust you.
[16:46] ---
Besides, I have a few questions for you.
[16:48] ---
Throw someone else in!
[16:49] ---
There's nothing for it but to jump, then.
[16:56] ---
San... San Lang?
[17:07] ---
I'll be fine.
[17:08] ---
Wait! Stay right there!
[17:10] ---
Don't be afraid.
[17:15] ---
Stop!
[17:18] ---
Don't worry.
I'll only be gone a little while.
[17:49] ---
San Lang!
