Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty (Horror Stories of Tang Dynasty / Tang Chao Gui Shi Lu / 唐朝诡事录)

Brother Su.

Have some tea.

After we arrive in Luoyang,

you are really happy.

I'm your personal staff.

I've been looked down everywhere.

Why did you say that?

Are you making fun of me?

Recently, I found that you're not arrogant nor impatient.

You have been

much calmer than before.

What?

In Luoyang,

you meet a high-ranking government official?

He promises you with bright future,

so that you are so composed?

In terms of investigation,

you're not that awesome.

But no one is more scheming

than you.

So I guess it right.

His Highness is also in Dongdu?

Did I say that?

No need.

As a trusted aide of His Highness,

you don't want me

to continue investigating.

Because if I find the antidote

and save Her Highness,

there will be more trials and tribulations

for His Highness to ascend the throne.

I want to know

His Highness's true intentions.

What?

You don't want to take me to see him?

In fact, in the Blessing Temple,

I met Her Highness.

People used to say

she was as strong as Empress Wu Zetian.

But what I saw that day

is totally different.

You sympathize with her?

Although she's a princess,

the most powerful woman of Tang,

she is also

a victim of the Face Flowers.

Can't I pity her?

We lost the clue of the Tocharian woman

in the Sky Garden.

But the ghost fire of the Paradise Inn

is still on.

I, Su Wuming,

will try my best to investigate the case.

Dongdu was the place

I followed Detective Di at the beginning.

If I give up the case easily,

I will make all Master Di's edification wasted.

Don't you think about

the country?

Last time I went south,

I began to have a new understanding

of the word "country".

The country

include all the people in the world.

Her Highness is a member of the people.

Therefore,

for the sake of the country,

I must make my contributions.

Her Highness is in the Blessing Temple.

You should visit her.

Maybe

you'll have a new impression of her.

You're here.

Excuse me.

Wasn't here

the Serenity Temple?

When did it become the Blessing Temple?

It was changed two years ago.

I heard it was the idea of Her Highness.

Her Highness?

Yes.

Her Highness likes this temple very much.

Every time she comes to Dongdu,

she would stay here for a few days.

She will send someone to repair it every two years.

Now this place

is the biggest temple

in Luoyang.

Thank you, sir.

Yang Ji.

Yang Ji.

Yang Ji.

Come back for dinner. -Coming.

Isn't it a pleasure

to study and practice what you have learned?

Isn't it a pleasure

to study and practice what you have learned?

Isn't it also great

when friends visit from distant places?

Isn't it also great

when friends visit from distant places?

If people do not recognize me and it doesn't bother me,

am I not a noble man?

If people do not recognize me and it doesn't bother me,

am I not a noble man?

Little master.

Okay, kids.

Let's do it again.

May I ask

why is there a school in this temple?

The Living Bodhisattva asked the temple

to take them in.

Those who are willing to study

can come here to study.

There are dozens of schools like this

in the Blessing Temple.

Teachers are paid by

the Living Bodhisattva.

They are all knowledgeable.

Living Bodhisattva?

That is Her Highness.

Isn't it also great

when friends visit from distant places?

Madam.

Greetings, Living Bodhisattva.

Go and play.

How many children

are there in the Blessing Temple?

More than 360.

Tell the monks.

Those who have nowhere to go

and come to the Blessing Temple

should be all accepted.

I'll take care of the children of Tang.

Yes.

Why did he run away?

He wouldn't let me hug him.

He must hate me.

Your Highness, you took him in.

Why would he hate you?

He must be too young

to meet strangers.

No.

He must hate me

and won't forgive me.

Where are you going?

What do you think?

I'm going to investigate.

Do you still believe

you can find the lost lead in that inn?

I hope this time

I can find new clues.

But what reason should we have

to go back again?

We?

Can you draw out

the bronze devil by yourself?

How do you know I can't?

Of course.

With your help,

it will be easier for me. That's all.

That's all?

Fine.

I'm your subordinate.

You can say whatever you want.

What did you say

to that Lady Hu Shisi?

I said I was an exorcist,

coming from the south.

And I was invited to exorcise devils in Dongdu.

OK.

This is a good title.

We go back

to exorcise devils.

You again?

You scared my man.

Why is there no one

in your inn today?

A dead body came back to life

and was haunted by ghosts.

Someone held a knife

to harass me on my bed.

The guests were all scared away.

Even those girls who were playing the pipa fled.

You ruined my inn.

You have to pay for it.

Look.

She's blackmailing us.

You can't leave if you don't pay today.

Close the door.

We didn't want to come back.

We were about to leave for Chang'an.

But when we passed by your inn,

the people around said

your inn

would be haunted by ghosts

every night.

I recalled what happened that night.

I think they are right.

The people
