【BM SUB】Mysterious Lotus Casebook 莲花楼 EP3 | Cheng Yi, Joseph Zeng,Xiao Shunyao | iQIYI Malaysia
[English subtitles are available] [Mysterious Lotus Casebook] [Episode 3] I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve been sickly since I was young. My mother didn’t even give me a first name. She was afraid that I wouldn’t live to become an adult. When I was ten, my mother found her long-lost younger brother.
He’s the Deputy Sect Leader of the Sigu Sect, Li Xiangyi’s senior, Shan Gudao. Shan Gudao is your uncle? My mother has never liked the martial arts world, so she didn’t want Uncle to disclose their relationship. Uncle wanted to teach me martial arts in secret. But at that time, I was too sickly.
Uncle always scolded me for being useless. How many times have I taught you? Why can’t you remember? You can’t even hold a sword. How can you learn martial arts? Again. This sword is too heavy for you. It’s not suitable for you. Take this. This wooden sword suits you better.
If you can learn the hundred foundational moves with this wooden sword, come to me. I will take you as my disciple. Before he left, he told me not to lose my sword again. A swordsman must wield his sword firmly in order to redress injustice in the world.
That was the only time I met Li Xiangyi. Now, I don’t even remember his face. But because of what he said, I tried my best to cure myself. I took medicine, no matter how bitter it was. I bathed in cold springs, no matter how hard they were. Now, I can finally stand up.
I can hold my sword firmly. But he’s gone. You won’t understand someone as noble as my master. So it was you. To think the brat has grown up. Your martial arts are alright. You haven’t really embarrassed your uncle. It’s just that there are some things you don’t need to remember too clearly. Here.
Young Master. Young Master. Let’s solve the case together. Cheers! Young Master. Young Master. Young Master. Young Master. Why are you sleeping here? We’ve been looking for you all night. Where is the building? Where is he? I told him everything. How can he run away? The attack came earlier than expected again.
Where is my senior, Shan Gudao’s body? Your biggest weakness is that you want to be a hero. A swordsman should not have weaknesses. What should we do? Give it to me. I’ll handle it. That group of people went up the mountain and fought their way down. It’s finally quietened down today.
When the immortals fight, commoners suffer. Immortals fighting? What immortals? Those people in the martial arts world, those sects and alliances, fight all the time. What can they do aside from harming the innocent? Slow down. [Sigu Sect] Hang in there. How are you? Hang in there. Hang in there. Here. Senior. How are you?
Hang in there. Here. Be careful. Be careful. Let’s go. Look what happened to the Sigu Sect. Be careful. What achievements can there be? Let’s go our separate ways. We don’t know if Sect Leader is still alive. Are you trying to split up? Let me ask you. Half of the Sigu Sect is dead.
Whose fault is it? Yes. If Sect Leader hadn’t been competitive and acted willfully, how could we have fallen into the Jinyuan Alliance’s trap? How could we have lost so many brothers? When I said I wanted to avenge Second Sect Leader, all of you shouted together in assent.
Why is it all Sect Leader’s fault now? Whoever dares to step out of this door, I’ll kill him. Stop arguing. Although it was Li Xiangyi’s hubris that led to this situation, he wouldn’t want to see you fight here. Now that Li Xiangyi is gone and Sigu Sect has suffered great losses,
I wouldn’t want us to fall apart due to disagreements. Why don’t we [Sigu Sect, Xiao Zijin] dissolve Sigu Sect today? Everyone can go their own way. Coming. Be gentle. [Sigu Sect, Qiao Wanwan] You want to dissolve Sigu Sect? Our two leaders are gone. Our morale is broken.
Why should we force ourselves to keep going? You don’t like this place either, right? [Pudu Temple, Bhante Wuliao] Monk. You used the Brahman arts to bring me back from the dead again. I’m not that skilled. Sect Leader Li, it’s not your time to die yet. All the meridians in your body were broken.
The poison of jade tea has spread all over your body too. If you didn’t have the extraordinary inner skill mental factor, Yangzhou Man, to protect your heart meridian, there would have been nothing I could do about it. The Brahman arts are only a way to reconnect the meridians. Golden needles can only
Expel the jade tea’s poison. I cannot actually detoxify your body. I cannot recover your extraordinary martial arts skills either. I could only salvage one-tenths of your inner skill. The golden needle acupuncture made you suffer a lot. Your appearance and figure gradually changed. It’ll be hard for even an old friend to recognize you.
Li Xiangyi is no longer Li Xiangyi. This is fate. Your three meridians were injured. You must return to Sigu Sect as soon as possible to ask your clansmen and friends to seek treatment for you. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will not live long. Monk, how long more can I live? Ten years, at most.
Ten years? You helped me regain 10 years from King Yama. It’s not a loss. But please keep this secret for me. If anyone asks, you have never met Li Xiangyi. Li Xiangyi and Sigu Sect do not exist anymore. I won’t go back. I’ll be off. Sect Leader Li, you’re so young,
But you’ll let yourself die? Isn’t it a pity? Besides, the poison of the jade tea have entered into your organs. It will torture you from time to time. If one day, it cannot be suppressed and enters your brain again, you might get trapped in illusions. In the end…
In the end, I’ll become a lunatic. It’s good to die crazy. I won’t know anything and won’t feel pity. I don’t know what you want to hide from, to make you so determined to leave. “The heart attains peace with a single thought, lotus flowers bloom all around.” Monk, your incantation is very good.
I understand. Sect Leader Li. Li Xiangyi has died in the East Sea. From now on, Li Lianhua is the one left. Master. Did you send that brat to me on purpose to remind me? But don’t worry. Before I die, I will definitely find Senior. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face you.
It’s indeed the secret insignia of the Jinyuan Alliance. This jade is rare. Kunlun Jade City? Young Master. Why don’t you sit down and eat something? The rice looks bad. I’m not destitute enough to treat my mouth that badly. If you don’t, your stomach will suffer. Young Master, we really have nothing left.
We don’t know if there will be another meal after this one. Happy. Is there really nothing left on you? Yes. Young Master, are you going to pawn this jade pendant? No, no. You have been carrying this since you were born. I can’t touch it even if I go performing in the streets.
Otherwise, my mother will kill me. Happy. Check the package again. This letter… The Lingshan Sect threw out everything that belonged to Piao Erhuang. I picked up some paper he wrote on to burn as offerings to my mother, so she can stop thinking about him. I’ll write some for you next time.
Let me see. Wait. Why is this letter so messy? “Your subordinate has failed. The Jinyuan Alliance’s whereabouts in Jia Province were exposed. I must bear the blame. I should personally head north to atone for my crime. But for the sake of my loyalty, please spare me.
I will be sure to help the Demon King and the Jinyuan alliance return to your former glory. I will go to any length.” Young Master. What does this mean? This is obviously the apology letter Piao Erhuang hasn’t had time to send out yet.
The only person in the Jinyuan Alliance who might be called “Demon King” must be the great demon, Di Feisheng’s right hand man, the Medicine Demon. Piao Erhuang works for the Medicine Demon? Young Master, what does the Medicine Demon look like? Li, take out the manual of the key members of the Jinyuan Alliance
That has been in the Tianji Hall’s collection for years. Medicine Demon. His age and background are unknown. He is good at making poison and using medicine. He first became famous in the martial arts world for healing the dead. He has a heart disease. He has close to no inner skills
And is not good at martial arts. Sly and cunning. Why does this sound familiar? I’ve got it! Young Master, don’t you think this Medicine Demon sounds like that fake miracle doctor, Li Lianhua? His reputation as a living dead is not coincidental. Because he is the Medicine Demon.
Then it wasn’t a coincidence that he was at Lingshan Bodhimanda. Piao Erhuang’s death was not a coincidence either. He exposed the Jinyuan Alliance’s whereabouts, so the Medicine Demon came to silence him. There are too many coincidences. If he really is a remnant of the Jinyuan Alliance, I can’t let him
Get away from me. Where can we find him? There’s only one way out of the mountain on the north side. He can’t travel that fast with a house. Let’s go. Le’s go after him. Y-Young Master, slow down. What’s wrong? It’s a ghost! This is not a ghost. It’s a corpse.
It’s more important to find Li Lianhua. Let’s go. I’ve finally found it. What’s that smell? I smell it too. Who knows? If he is really the Medicine Demon and spends his days with corpses, nothing he does can surprise me. Young Master, you’d better stop. Yes, Young Master. We’ve checked this area.
There’s nothing special. Are you stupid? The most important things are always hidden in the least conspicuous places. This is the strongest silk that’s as thin as insects’ wings. This is so rare. How can he use it to cover a pot? This is the Yingzhu Armor worn by Di Feisheng.
It seems that this fake miracle physician really has something to do with the Jinyuan Alliance. C-Could it be that he realized Young Master was catching up to him, so he abandoned the building and ran away? There are no signs at all here that he ran away in a hurry. He should be nearby.
[Mysterious Lotus Casebook] [Xiaomian Inn] Open the door! Please forgive us. We have a rule here. If you want to stay here, you need to step over a fire basin to ward off evil spirits. W-Ward off evil spirits? You may not know, but there is an ancient battlefield nearby.
Many soldiers died in the wilderness. That’s why suspicious things happen here once in a while. Today is the Ghost Festival too. The shopkeeper specially prepared a fire basin. Please step over it to ward off evil energy. Young Master, let’s not stay here. If we don’t stay here,
Do you want to travel at night? Thank you. Thank you. May you be safe. May you be safe. May you be safe. Fortunately, the shop is popular. The waiter was so abnormal. I was so scared. I thought this was a haunted shop. He’s really here. You two go to his room
And see if there’s more evidence. Li. As the saying goes, “People might meet in the mountains or the rivers.” It’s easy to run away after doing something bad, but wouldn’t it be awkward to meet again? Young Hero Fang, here’s the thing. I was in a hurry to travel north.
I couldn’t wait for you to sober up. It was my bad. Here. How about I treat you to some cold watermelon? I don’t like watermelon. Physician Li, did you leave in such a hurry because of Piao Erhuang? What does it have to do with Piao Erhuang?
How did you get into the locked shed? Here’s the thing, Young Hero Fang. I saw Piao Erhuang screaming. So, as a benevolent doctor, I went in to have a look. And picked the lock along the way. I have some skills. Your lie is pretty airtight. Unfortunately, you left in a hurry
And didn’t check if Piao Erhuang was dead or not. What if he still had a chance to speak? Young Hero Fang. Isn’t it better that Piao Erhuang didn’t die? You could send him to Baichuan Court to take credit. I thought so too. Unfortunately, Piao Erhuang only told me about you.
Your background and identity, need I make them clear here? Come back to Baichuan Court with me. Young Hero Fang, you must be joking. What background can I have? I’m just a wandering physician trying to make a living. More than one person has had a reputation for reviving the dead. Ten years ago,
There was someone who got famous for reviving the dead. You said all that because you suspect I’m the Medicine Demon of the Jinyuan Alliance? It seems Piao Erhuang really is dead. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have guessed so absurdly. I found Di Feisheng’s Yingzhu Armor in your Lotus Tower.
You said you had nothing to do with the Jinyuan Alliance. This is such an important object? I picked it up by the beach a few years ago. Is it a crime to pick up things? How coincidental. Exactly. Young Hero Fang, have some watermelon. It won’t be cold if you don’t eat it now.
You see. It rains every night. The bones of dead people are everywhere. This place is so ominous. If this weren’t the fastest way to the harbor, I wouldn’t have come here. No wonder the shops are so particular. There’s a background to this evil energy. Have you heard about what happened two days ago?
What happened? Two days ago, a friend of mine saw two merchants get strangled to death while passing through the forest up front by two skeletons that showed up from nowhere. Really? This… Waiter. Excuse me, which room does the man downstairs with a dog stay in? He stays in the innermost room. Li,
Keep watch for me. I’ll search the fake miracle doctor’s room. Okay. Don’t panic. It’s just windy. It’s just windy. Sorry. Waiter, take this ominous thing away. Sir, don’t say that. The girl on the portrait is Yu Qiushuang, the sister of the master of Yu City behind the mountain.
She ran away from home for some reason, so he put up a notice to find her. Everyone at our inn is people from Yu City looking for the Second Young Miss. They’re serving melon that’s almost rotten. Why don’t they serve some side dishes? How about I give you a suggestion?
The noodles here cost two coins plain, and three coins with meat. They come with a side dish too. Who are you looking down on? I’m not hungry. You’re in such a state now. You can’t even afford a bowl of plain noodles. Go home now. We haven’t finished talking yet. Where are you going?
Young Master. If a detective of Baichuan Court makes a wrongful arrest, they will be stripped of their badge and never be hired again. So, if you want to arrest me, be careful. If you’re not guilty, don’t run away. Ghost! Who are you calling a ghost? This is… the person in the painting.
The Yu Qiushuang on the painting. What are you looking at? Don’t look! Second Young Miss. Where have you been? We’ve been looking for you. You put up posters of me all over the mountain. Do you want to be whipped? I-It’s because Madam has been looking for Second Young Miss.
She couldn’t find you for days, so she asked us to put up the posters. My sister sent you here? Madam went to Shannan. She’ll be back in a few days. Miss Yun Jiao brought us here to look for Second Young Miss. She’s on the second floor. Second Young Miss. Second Young Miss.
Second Young Miss. Second Young Miss. Why are you following me so closely? I’m already upstairs. I can’t run away anymore. Shuang. You’re finally back. If you hadn’t put up all those posters on the mountain, I would’ve made you wait a few more days. Fortunately, they found her.
Otherwise, when people from Yu City get angry, things turn ugly. That’s a good idea. If any suspect disappears, I can put up posters along the way and force him to show himself. Young Hero Fang, your servant disappeared after he entered the inn. Maybe you can use this method to find him. Waiter.
Is the hot water for the bathroom ready? Yes, Miss. This is the place. [Yu City, Yun Jiao] I have calmed Qiushuang down. We can return to Yu City tomorrow morning. Thank you, Miss Yun. Miss Yun Jiao and Second Young Miss are close like sisters. With her around,
I can finally report back to Madam. Let’s go up. It’s raining again. Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! What’s going on? Blood! Blood! It’s blood! There’s blood there! There’s blood there! Blood! He’s dead? Happy! Happy! Young Master. Happy was fine just now. He became like this as soon as he entered this room.
Happy. It was him. It must have been him. He must have killed Happy. Did you do it? W- What could I have done? You knew Happy came to your room. So you killed him with sorcery. Young Hero Fang, I understand you’re sad about Happy’s death. But you don’t have to frame me.
You are the Medicine Demon. You have many tricks. If you’ve really been wronged, come back to Baichuan Court with me for an investigation. If you leave now, your Happy would have died in vain. His neck is fractured. Obviously, he was strangled to death. I was sitting opposite you just now.
How could I have strangled him from all the way there? Young Hero Fang, if you keep wasting your time, the murderer will really escape. Young Master. You can’t believe him. It must have been him. Li, don’t worry. No matter who the murderer is, we need evidence. If you are the murderer,
I will avenge Happy. I’ll give you a chance now. Who is the murderer? I really don’t know. But a servant being killed for no reason is merely a lead-in. But as long as we follow this trail and keep looking, we’ll get to the point. Second Young Miss. Second Young Miss.
Where is Second Young Miss? Where is Second Young Miss? We were guarding at the stairs. We didn’t see her go out. Where is Qiushuang? Where is Qiushuang? Someone just died. Second Young Miss is missing too. Did she get caught by the person who left the bloody footprint? Search! -Yes. -Yes. Who are you?
What do you want? So many people. I’m Chief Escort Cheng Yunhe of Hexing Escort Agency. Judging from your attire, you must be guards from Yu City. We have never intruded into each other’s business. What brings you to our room? Our Second Young Miss is missing. That’s why we’re searching the inn.
Please forgive us for our offense. Second Young Miss? As you can see, there are only armed escorts in this room. Your Second Young Miss isn’t here. Open it. My friend. We’re just trying to make a living in the martial arts world. We can’t open the goods until they’ve been delivered.
This is our rule. Besides, look. They have been sealed by wax by our client. The dates inscribed on them show they have never been tampered with. The Second Young Miss you mentioned couldn’t have gotten past these wax seals to crawl into the box, right? Our Second Young Miss is missing.
Your delivery box is very suspicious. If you don’t open it, we can’t let it go today. Who dares to do it? Chief, this is Yu City’s territory. If we get into a fight now, we might have to die here. A head? Escort Cheng, you promised us
You wouldn’t bring ominous items to the store. We trusted you because you’re a regular customer. Why did you bring a head in? He’s a prisoner who was beheaded by the magistrate’s office. His family asked me to bring him back with his body intact. T-That won’t do either.
As long something ominous enters the inn, there will be vengeful ghosts. S-See, a vengeful spirit came. Look. A ritual has been performed on it. There won’t be any evil spirits. Second… Second Young Miss! Excuse me! Second Young Miss! Qiushuang. Qiushuang. Qiushuang. W-What’s going on? How is this possible? Is there really a ghost?
My Second Young Miss died at Xiaomian Inn. None of you are innocent! Take them back to Yu City. Yes. [A Tall Pavilion Reaches the Clouds] Castellan. This is Second Young Miss. [Castellan of Yu City, Yu Mulan] Lock them up. Lock everyone in Xiaomian Inn up!
Madam will deal with them when she comes back. Yes. Brother, ask your Castellan to see me. Do you know who I am? I’m a detective from Baichuan Court! Why should I be locked up? Are you pretending not to hear me? I’m talking to you! Stop yelling.
The Castellan of Yu City is not here. She will see you when she comes back. Didn’t we see the Castellan, Yu Mulan, when we were getting locked up? Yu Mulan has no real power. He doesn’t have a say over major issues. How did you know? Why don’t you think about
Why the guards at the inn only mentioned their Madam and not the Castellan? And Yu Qiushuang mentioned a Sister, not a Sister-in-law. You can infer that Yu Mulan changed his surname after he married into the family. He’s only the Castellan in name. So in this city,
The one who’s really in power is Yu Hongzhu. You’re still not in the clear about what happened last night. Don’t focus too much on me. You need to listen more and question more as a detective. Do your work properly. I don’t need you to tell me that. Chief Envoy Cheng,
What happened to your goods? I also want to know what happened. The boxes originally contained yellow jade to be sent from Beishan Mine to the capital. Everyone saw them being sealed. Yes. And they never left our sight. How did Second Young Miss get in there?
It’s all because you accepted that private order in secret. Don’t slander me. Rituals have been performed on that head, right? So what? Yu City clearly wants our lives. Chief Envoy Cheng. What is this private order about? On the day we set off, someone came to me and asked me to smuggle this head.
He said the criminal was beheaded for robbing official silver, but his family wanted to keep his body intact. They gave me 100 taels of silver. I… I was blinded by greed. So I agreed. Manager. Anything unusual with Xiaomian Inn? No. It’s just that rituals have to be performed during the Ghost Festival,
But we skipped it this year. Something really happened. It was a ghost. The blood footprints led towards the second floor. We all saw it. Don’t be nervous. You can’t believe in ghosts. Who else could have killed Second Young Miss Yu and put her in our sealed box? It’s strange.
How was Yu Qiushuang killed? How was she sealed in the escort box? Doesn’t it sound like a ghost did it? Maybe the ghost didn’t want Second Young Miss Yu’s body. You… Second Young Miss’s body was burned. Madam was very angry when she came back. Take everyone away. Yes. Blood?
Where did the blood come from? This blood should belong to the guards of Yu City. What’s happened to these guards? As the guards of Yu City, they failed to protect their master. They were sent to guard the body, but someone knocked over the candle [Wife of the Castellan of Yu City, Yu Hongzhu]
And damaged my sister’s body. It’s already merciful that I asked them to kill themselves. You are Madam Yu? You killed the guards before we figured it out? The life and death of servants of Yu City have nothing to do with you. They were incompetent.
There is no place for no good-for-nothings in Yu City. Madam Yu. We had nothing to do with Second Young Miss being killed. Yes. It was the work of an evil spirit. Yes. We’re here to testify. It had nothing to do with us. I’ve never seen a ghost. Then tell me
What this evil spirit looks like. What? You don’t remember? Or did you forget? I heard people on the verge of death always see ghosts. I’ll help you remember. Are you crazy?
