[00:25] ---
S-San Lang!
[00:29] ---
I'll be fine.
[00:31] ---
Wait! Stay right there!
[00:33] ---
Don't be afraid.
[00:38] ---
Stop!
[00:41] ---
Don't worry.
I'll only be gone a little while.
[01:00] ---
San Lang!
[03:23] ---
I need to ask you something. Don't move!
[03:26] ---
How about you come with me?
[04:36] ---
It's that hag again!
[05:00] ---
Entangle!
[05:11] ---
Oh no...
[05:36] ---
San Lang?
[05:44] ---
Is it you?
[05:45] ---
Are you all right?
[05:46] ---
Are you hurt?
[05:54] ---
I'm fine.
[05:56] ---
Good.
[05:57] ---
Thank you. You can put me down now.
[06:00] ---
That's a bad idea.
[06:02] ---
Why?
[06:04] ---
It's dirty here.
[06:14] ---
Brothers, what happened?!
[06:18] ---
Who did this to you?
[06:20] ---
Who was it?!
[06:29] ---
He's not breathing and has no pulse?
[06:34] ---
I want my men back!
[06:36] ---
You must die!
[06:41] ---
San Lang, watch out!
[06:42] ---
Just ignore him.
[06:48] ---
San Lang, why don't you put me down?
[06:50] ---
Don't worry, I got it.
[07:09] ---
You can't just keep carrying me like this!
[07:11] ---
Why not? Hold on tight!
[07:14] ---
You killed my men! That's unforgivable!
[07:55] ---
San Lang, all these men...
You killed them?
[07:59] ---
I did.
[08:02] ---
Next time you see this kind of pit,
think twice before jumping in.
[08:07] ---
I couldn't stop you.
I didn't know what to do.
[08:14] ---
Is there anything else
you'd like to ask?
[08:16] ---
Is there anything I should
ask you about?
[08:18] ---
For example, whether I'm human.
[08:21] ---
Whether you're human or not--
it doesn't matter to me.
[08:25] ---
Huh? And why is that?
[08:28] ---
When we interact with others, what
matters most is how we get along.
[08:31] ---
Do we feel a connection?
Who we are is not important.
[08:34] ---
If I like you, I couldn't care less
if you were a beggar.
[08:38] ---
And if I hated you, it wouldn't matter
if you were the emperor himself.
[08:42] ---
It's as simple as can be.
So I don't need to ask you anything.
[08:48] ---
That makes sense.
[08:50] ---
San Lang, watch out!
[08:55] ---
Entangle!
[09:01] ---
You... two against one! Not fair!
[09:06] ---
Even if it were one on one,
you wouldn't stand a chance.
[09:08] ---
You are all minions of that witch.
And you will die like dogs!
[09:13] ---
San Lang, don't kill him.
[09:15] ---
If we want to make it out of here,
we'll need to ask him how to do it.
[09:19] ---
San Lang, why don't you set me down?
[09:22] ---
Hold on.
[09:46] ---
Thank you.
[10:00] ---
I wonder how the others are doing.
[10:02] ---
Will they also be dragged
down by that corpse in black?
[10:08] ---
Watch out!
[10:09] ---
I warned you the floor is dirty.
[10:12] ---
Since you work for that hag,
[10:14] ---
there's no way Half-Moon Kingdom
will ever let you go!
[10:19] ---
General Millstone,
who are you talking about?
[10:25] ---
The demon Daoist, who else!
[10:29] ---
The Half-Moon Grand Preceptor?
[10:31] ---
Aren't you the one loyal to her?
[10:33] ---
Hah! I, Millstone!
[10:36] ---
I will never pledge
my allegiance to her again!
[10:38] ---
She will pay for what she's done!
[10:40] ---
But, General...
[10:42] ---
You've killed my men,
so I won't answer your questions!
[10:45] ---
Come on! Let's fight!
[10:48] ---
I killed them.
He had nothing to do with it.
[10:51] ---
You can answer his questions,
and then you and I will fight.
[10:53] ---
You're both the witch's puppets;
what difference does it make?
[10:57] ---
General Millstone, I think
there has been a misunderstanding.
[11:00] ---
We're here to kill the Grand Preceptor.
How could we be her underlings?
[11:04] ---
If she is not your boss,
then why did you kill my men?
[11:09] ---
You threw us down there,
we had to defend ourselves!
[11:13] ---
Nonsense! You jumped into
the pit yourselves!
[11:18] ---
All right, fine.
[11:20] ---
But since we're stuck here together,
why don't we just call a truce.
[11:25] ---
Why do you have an axe to grind
with the Grand Preceptor?
[11:32] ---
General Millstone?
[11:34] ---
For the sake of your men,
you had better answer truthfully.
[11:38] ---
You've already murdered them;
don't you dare threaten me!
[11:43] ---
Hm! But their bodies are still here.
[11:46] ---
What are you scheming?
[11:48] ---
That depends on you.
[11:50] ---
You, the Half-Moon people, believe
that how one spends the afterlife
[11:52] ---
depends on the condition of the body.
[11:55] ---
Do you want them to live
their afterlife in good health or...?
[11:59] ---
You, you!
[12:05] ---
Don't worry.
[12:10] ---
Don't you touch them.
[12:12] ---
These brave soldiers had already
spent years stuck in this pit.
[12:17] ---
Now that they are finally free,
[12:20] ---
I will not allow them
to be desecrated.
[12:31] ---
Did you really come to kill
the Grand Preceptor?
[12:33] ---
Yes, you have my word.
[12:36] ---
Outsiders know so little
about the Grand Preceptor.
[12:39] ---
You have dealt with her in the past,
so we wanted to ask for your help.
[12:44] ---
She despised Half-Moon Kingdom!
[12:48] ---
But wasn't she from Half-Moon Kingdom?
[12:50] ---
Yes, but not entirely.
[12:54] ---
This demon Daoist was of mixed blood.
[13:00] ---
Her mother was Half-Moon,
but her father was a Yong An scoundrel.
[13:05] ---
That good-for-nothing,
tired of his harsh life on the border,
[13:08] ---
abandoned his wife and
daughter and returned to Yong An.
[13:17] ---
The poor Half-Moon woman died of grief,
[13:21] ---
leaving her six-year-old
daughter to fend for herself.
[13:27] ---
She became the demon Daoist.
[13:31] ---
In Half-Moon culture, we pride
ourselves on our physical strength,
[13:35] ---
but because of her mixed heritage
the girl was scrawny and bullied.
[13:38] ---
She became more
and more strange as a result.
[13:44] ---
Later, during a deadly uprising
at the border, the girl disappeared.
[13:48] ---
No one knew where she had gone.
[13:52] ---
When she returned, she possessed
the evil magic of Yong An.
[13:58] ---
She even managed to land a position
at the Half-Moon imperial palace.
[14:01] ---
Your Majesty, this sorceress is evil!
We can't appoint her!
[14:06] ---
Evil? Why do you say so?
[14:09] ---
The scorpion-tailed snakes
she controls are terrible.
[14:12] ---
If, one day, she decides
to use them against us,
[14:14] ---
we won't have time to get
our hands on the antidote!
[14:15] ---
You're right, she is evil.
[14:19] ---
Exactly!
[14:20] ---
Not to mention that she is half Yong-An!
Their filthy blood runs in her veins!
[14:25] ---
She is a demon sent by the scorpion-tailed
snake to wreak havoc in Half-Moon Kingdom!
[14:30] ---
Sorceress, what do you
have to say for yourself?
[14:34] ---
Your Majesty, her silence
says it all! Let's hang her!
[14:37] ---
Yes, hang her!
[14:40] ---
Silence!
[14:42] ---
Millstone, what do you think?
[14:46] ---
I felt sorry for her and
begged the king for mercy.
[14:52] ---
Come with me.
[15:11] ---
Good job, boys!
[15:13] ---
We've finally rid ourselves
of these desert bandits!
[15:15] ---
When I go back to report on your
performance, you'll get your fair share!
[15:19] ---
Great!
[15:21] ---
What's happening?
[15:22] ---
What's going on?
[15:23] ---
General!
[15:24] ---
Bad news!
[15:26] ---
What's gotten into you?
[15:28] ---
General!
[15:29] ---
A storm's upon us! Our sandy hideout has
no support beams--it's going to collapse!
[15:34] ---
What?
[15:41] ---
How could this happen?
What is this?
[15:43] ---
--Out! Follow me! Let's go, hurry!
--Go, go! Get a move on!
[16:00] ---
In that situation, men who got buried
had little chance of survival.
[16:05] ---
I had no choice but to lead out
those who were still alive.
[16:16] ---
Let's go.
[16:17] ---
Let's take our brothers' bodies home.
Every single one of them!
[16:21] ---
Yes, sir!
[16:23] ---
General, look! Over there!
[16:49] ---
--General?
--The General is here!
[16:51] ---
Everyone, wake up!
[16:52] ---
We are saved!
[16:53] ---
The General is here to rescue us!
[16:55] ---
She dug out a cave for the
wounded soldiers to hide in.
[17:00] ---
Then she dug out the
bodies of the dead,
[17:03] ---
all with her own bare hands.
[17:08] ---
At this point, I felt she had proven her
loyalty to Half-Moon Kingdom.
[17:12] ---
I vouched for her, ignoring
all those who disagreed.
[17:16] ---
She was so reliable, capable, discreet--
so I kept recommending her
[17:22] ---
until she was promoted all the way
to the position of Grand Preceptor.
[17:41] ---
The Grand Preceptor! Where is she?!
[17:44] ---
General, as soon as the battle began,
she just vanished into thin air!
[17:48] ---
Wh-What's she playing at?
[17:51] ---
General!
[17:52] ---
General, the Grand Preceptor
has flung open the city gates!
[17:55] ---
What?!
[18:25] ---
Why on earth...?
[18:26] ---
How could she do that to me after
I placed so much trust in her?
[18:31] ---
The demon Daoist is a traitor.
[18:33] ---
She deserves to be
hanged over the Sinners' Pit!
[18:38] ---
General Millstone, try to stay calm!
[18:40] ---
Shhh!
