Sons of the clan

you've reached the age of adulthood

From this day forth

you must dress and conduct yourself as men

Protect and serve the emperor

Liu Kaitai

Liu Fangzheng

Liu Tianxiang

With these clothes, you become a man

Bow

And again

Offer incense

You looked quite moved

Were you?

I've always wondered

why you left home and changed your name

What happened ten years ago?

I needed a change

I caught a young thief once

I thought he would reform...

and let him go home

I never imagined that

he would poison his own parents

Tell me

If he had run away and changed his name

could he really have changed?

I don't think so

I was a convicted murderer

I was in Lianzhou prison for ten years

I was originally from Gong Village

My father was a butcher

another butcher borrowed money from us...

but never paid us back

My father said

men are no different from animals

But this man is lower than an animal

because he's greedy

My father handed me his cleaver

I hacked the man to death

I felt nothing

I suddenly froze

I heard the man's son crying

The child was still alive

He was staring at me

my father was wrong

Humans are not animals

A murder sentence should be

more than ten years

There was an amnesty ten years ago

I knew I had to change

I had to leave my hometown to live a new life

I needed to be Liu Jinxi

I almost succeeded

Father, the market is open

Please leave us alone

Please!

Father! We need to hurry!

Xu Baijiu, you should come too!

I'll be right there

Hurry!

Alright

Let's go

He's surrounded by an energy field?

He's radiating Qi energy

repelling even the flies

He lied to you

How could a common butcher develop

such powerful Qi?

Take this, I guarantee it won't out him

You told me it wouldn't out?

Pine trees are prickly

Whoever dares to bully Liu Jinxi?

Now you have to deal with me!

You frown when you've done wrong

Each new moon has two prongs

Xu Baijiu, go away!

No boat will ferry you along

Your letters will have no name

Have you no shame?

I've verified the facts

There's no Gong Village in Lianzhou

There were no butchers in Lianzhou

with a last name Gong

But ten years ago

a butcher's family was massacred

A butcher named Zhang

borrowed money but didn't repay the loan

Their flesh was used for savory bun filling

and distributed to unsuspecting villagers

The villagers said

they had never tasted anything so delicious

You must be familiar with the case

Are you alright?

I'm fine, Captain

You'll get used to it in time

Listen

The 72 Demons are the last surviving Tanguts

They used to be civilized, like us

But after the massacre of 800,000 Tanguts

The survivors became savages

They ate raw meat and left their dead unburied

Hunger for revenge

is what keeps them alive

I guess it's karma

After this killing

Tang Long, the second in command, went missing

Liu Jinxi has lived here

for exactly

ten years, hasn't he?

So he is Tang Long

You disappeared for 10 years

but you were never imprisoned

You Killed the butcher's family

You're not a butcher's son

You were the 72 Demons second in command

I must return to the county

to get a warrant for his arrest!

Xu Baijiu, where are you going?

Are you leaving?

Yes

I suppose your work here is done?

You healed quickly

The doctor said

you nearly cut a major artery

That would have killed me

You were lucky

Maybe you're lucky?

I know a shortcut

Let me lead the way

Otherwise, you won't make it

to Feng County by nightfall

That would be a shame

Few people know about this path

I came across it by accident

Will you close the case after you leave here?

Yes

I will

You don't believe me?

We part ways here

Keep going straight

After an hour

you'll reach the main road

Keep walking

and you'll find Feng County

What are you waiting for?

Goodbye, then

That road did lead to Feng County

Why didn't he kill me?

Xu Baijiu

You've worked for me

for ten years and still so naive?

Captain, it's different this time

I could lend you the men under my command

but they're just a bunch of cowards and bums

Hire some outlaws

but using criminals to stop a criminal

is playing with fire

Xu Baijiu

Just let it go

Tang Long is not a wanted criminal

why do you want a warrant?

The 72 Demons are notorious outlaws

And Tang Long is their second in command

Where's the proof?

Even if you bribe the judge for a warrant

you're risking your life

I'll report the judge!

Nonsense!

How much do you want?

20 taels of silver

What?

Where will I find that?

I only receive 4 taels a year!

Business hours are over

Come back to me

when you have the money

I never expected to need help

from this person:

My wife

I'll pay you back

Is business good?

I'll burn incense for your father

Don't bother

I'm afraid father wouldn't like it

Before he's passed away...

he made it clear?

What about you?

You still blame me?

Does it matter?

Father was wrong to sell fake medicine

But the medicine

didn't cost any lives

He got on his knees

and begged for your mercy

you wouldn't let go

What did it feel like?

It wasn't up to me

It's the law

He was only guilty of selling fake medicine

he didn't need to kill himself

I know

you said it before

You'll never forgive me

you still don't understand

Not forgiving

you'd have to still care

Is the law really more important

than humanity?

Captain

what has the world come to?

Whatever the world has become

you have no choice but to be part of it

Tsu Kun, where're you taking me?

Where's my reward?

Whatever you have to say, tell Master yourself

Are you saying

Tang Long is in the village

that you mentioned?

Yes

And

he has two sons?

Yes

One is his

One is from his wife's previous marriage

Are you telling me this

because you think I want information

about Tang Long?

Tsu Kun, what's going on?

Answer me

You didn't go to the 36 Constellations

You didn't go to the Black Dragon Gang

Instead, you came here

Because you know

we have a connection with Tang Long

True?

No

Master... it's not

It's not what you think

Tsu Kun, help me

Tsu Kun, help me

Tell him

who Tang Long is

Tang Long...

is the son of our Master

You came here with the information

so that I would kill my own son

You

How dare you!

Tell me

Should I kill Tang Long?

Well?

Should I kill him?

None of you can match him

None of you can match Tang Long!

Master wants to

bring Tang Long back!

Oma-miba-mihon

Did you ever work the land?

I did

What are they reciting?

They're praying for souls

to be released from purgatory

You see

when you till the earth

you can't avoid harming

the small creatures in it

Jinxi performed a brave deed

by killing two criminals

we make a record of Jinxi's great deed

Jinxi is a man of integrity

His bravery and kindness

are a blessing to us

and an example for our youth

We will remember

and be inspired

Go down on your knees

Kneel!

I am Liu Jinxi

Liu Jinxi?

I am Liu Jinxi

Tell the truth!

Father!
