It's you

There's no door

No need for doors here

Looking for Jinxi?

He's not home

No

I've come to see you

I'll make you congee for your cough

Please don't bother

It's no trouble at all

No trouble at all

Last night, the tavern keeper told me that

Jinxi only joined the clan a few years ago

His last name

wasn't Liu originally?

It was five years ago

At that time

I was pregnant with Xiaotian

I asked for his name to be added

in the clan records

That's all

Well then

how did you two meet?

It was a long time ago. I can barely remember

On that day he was just passing through

He told me he had a fight with his family

And he'd run away

He never talks about his family

Unresolved conflicts?

They can be resolved

Did Jinxi know your former husband?

No

Did I...

Say something wrong?

That man abandoned us

just like that

He said, "I'll see you tonight"

It turned out

he'd been planning to leave

He even took his favourite pillow with him

He abandoned his wife and child

Jinxi doesn't need to know

such a man

Sometimes

Jinxi says to me

I'll see you tonight

I tell him not to use those words

Not to say them

On the subject of his family

I'm afraid if I asked

he might just disappear too

First interrogation of the suspect

July, 12th fortnight

Describe your fight with Yan Dongsheng

I think

it was like this

I grabbed him like this

Continue

I held onto him

I refused to let go

then he spun me around

You used leverage

against Yan's brutal force

No wonder Yan couldn't shake you

How did Yan lose his ear?

It was chaos

I think

the short man came at me

from behind with a sword

I ducked of course

then I heard a scream

I didn't know what was happening

Are you saying

Yes!

They out one another

Just like that

How odd

How did the short man die?

I know!

I saw it

He ran from here to there

He flew up there and BANG - he fell

Then he died

You let him throw you

You used your hands to bounce back up

then summoned Qi energy

You were ready to kill

You hit his Yunmen meridian

It caused a blood clot

blocking the blood flow

to the coronary arteries

resulting in cardiac arrest

The tall man broke the door?

And dragged me out here

He pushed me into the pond

and tried to drown me

I fought for my life

I fought for my life

But I couldn't breathe underwater

How did Yan die?

It was you who dragged him into the pond

Water resistance

blunted the force of Yan's blows

A direct blow to the Vagus Nerves

would either kill the victim

or leave him paralyzed for life

It was a vicious blow

you must have wanted Yan dead

Liu Jinxi

What kind of man are you?

I was lucky

Thank you for everything

I'll see you tomorrow

Tomorrow?

You have more questions?

I'll know very soon

In recognition of Jinxi's heroism

and contribution to the village

the village has decided to

sponsor Fangzheng's college studies

and county examination fees

If he does well in the examination

we'll host a celebration ceremony

and make all the arrangements

Ayu

Will Fangzheng be an adult this year?

Yes, he's twelve

After the rites

he will receive new clothes

and be considered an adult

You and your husband have worked hard

to raise your children

When they grow up and succeed

you will be proud parents

It's the dream of all parents

Thank you

The House of Jinxi is surrounded

by a water of jade

I foresee a man of prominence

Impossible!

You're breathing more heavily than me

For a martial artist like you

each breath should last at least ten counts

How else could you collect Qi

in your body's core?

Two counts

This can't be

Let me help you

it's heavy, sir!

No need, really

It's alright

It's heavy, sir

Help!

Jinxi, hang on! Don't move!

Help!

Help!

Given his weight and the height he fell

the branches should have broken

by the force of the impact

Density could also be a factor

If he could counter

the momentum of the fall

with an equal upward force

he might stop the fall

But his body is 800 times denser than air

Unless he can shift his body density at will?

He defied gravity with "Qinggong"

Are you alright?

If you hadn't come today

I wouldn't have fallen

It's karma

It was an accident

No

What I mean to say is

the fabric of existence

is composed of a myriad of karmic threads

Nothing exists in and of itself

everything is connected

For example

if I hadn't come to this village

I wouldn't have met Ayu

If her husband hadn't left

I wouldnt have married her?

If I hadn't gone to the store

I wouldn't have seen the criminals

and they wouldn't have died

Then you wouldn't have come here

No one truly has free will

When one man sins

we all share his sin

We are all accomplices

Are you saying that a killer

doesn't have free will when he kills?

He was conditioned to the act

And when he kills

Because we're all part of that sin

we're all accomplices?

I wasn't thinking of killers

I found no proof

Then leave him alone

He's a reformed man

We're not here to reform criminals

Then what's our purpose?

To serve the law

If the law doesn't help reform people

What good is it?

A true martial artist can control

the flow of his Qi and his mental state

He may appear to be a good man

but he's still a killer

Go to Lianzhou and dig around

Once you get the information

report back to me

Baijiu

Take care of yourself

Don't forget your condition

You can't actually fight

What are you saying?

He might be a trained killer

you said so yourself

You think

he's going to silence me?

Just be careful

Have some more

Where're your manners? We have a guest

Have some more

Have more

Xu Baijiu

Where are you from?

Fuoheng, Chaozhou

It's not far

I hear your hometown is in Lianzhou?

It's so far away

What brought you out here?

You either love it here

or hate where you come from

Yes, I like it here

Fuoheng is close

You must go home often?

I hear the weather there is nice

Well

Since my father died

and my mother remarried

I seldom visit

But I sometimes get homesick

I heard that you left home ten years ago

Don't you ever miss it?

Ever thought about going back?

No, I haven't

Are you telling me that

Xiaotian's never met his grandfather

Eat up, the food is getting cold

Fangzheng said

that you owned a horse before

It's rare for most families to own horses

Don't you think?

What kind of horse?

Yes

I had a horse once

But my father killed it

My father saw that I loved my horse

so he killed it

and fed me its flesh

I ate it without knowing

Then he said

if I could stomach eating my horse

I could face anything

nothing could defeat me

Would you go back to a place like that?

Did it taste good?

Not at all

It's late

Yes, it's late

I could...

have a shower first

Am I sleeping upstairs?

I'll find my own way

Please continue

After years of killing

the murderer's face becomes pale

the eyes turn green

even the air around the body grows cold

Why aren't your eyes green?

Thirsty?

I'm thirsty
