[Adapted from the Novel of the same name by Ma Boyong]

[This story is fictional. Any resemblances are coincidental]

In the years of the Great Tang Dynasty, Empress and Buddhist Wu Zetian

built the Imperial Temple Hall.

There, she made offerings to a jade statue known as Maitreya,

the ultimate Bodhisattva.

Sometime later, the hall was burned down by Xue Huaiyi.

The statue's head broke off from its body.

And that most precious Buddha head thereby vanished.

During the Republican era, five major antique dealers

formed the Plum Blossom Five.

Through their dedicated efforts,

they finally found the Buddha's head

and have secretly protected it ever since.

But because of one man,

this national treasure was lost overseas,

leading to great disaster.

This man, who is about to be executed,

[Condemned traitor, Xu Yicheng]

was the leader of the fourth-generation of the Plum Blossom Five,

Xu Yicheng.

And it was he who personally gifted the Buddha head

to a Japanese man named Yuzo Kido.

He was a traitor,

and also my grandfather.

This boy's name was Xu Heping.

My dad.

Don't feel bad for him because he's crying so sadly.

He wasn't a good person either.

When I was seven, he abandoned me.

It all started because of that Buddha head.

My family became the pariahs of the antique world.

Traitors, scum... Those became our names.

Dad!

[Schemes in Antiques]

[1992]

As long as you come here at the right time...

But these days, no one cares about the true meaning of antiques.

Nowadays, in the trade,

everyone goes crazy about the pieces in their possession.

There is riffraff all around.

Only two kinds of people exist.

Swindlers and their fool victims.

Please take a look.

This first great treasure

is a Han dynasty golden flying bear seal.

- Look.
- It has been authenticated

by the Plum Blossom Five.

No! No!

What does he want?

You said that yours is authentic.

Then what am I holding?

Do you think that that our Han dynasty seals

come in pairs?

Old man, you wanted to have a pair of lovebirds

like on your wedding quilt?

Then explain it to me.

Otherwise, I won't leave.

- I'm working.
- Fifty.

I offer 50 yuan.

This is me.

I'm different from all of them.

I'm the third kind.

[White]

The Plum Blossom Five.
[White]

Blue, Red, Black, Yellow, and White.

The Blue House are wood specialists.

Red House specializes in calligraphy and paintings.

Black House in porcelains.

Yellow House in bronzes.

White House in gems and jewelry.

Today, I will show off my skills

for your expert eyes!

Is he serious?

He's just a fraud.

[Working together to fight]

Han dynasty seals were made by poured casting.

Trapped air creates an unstable base.

So genuine pieces are heavier on the top and lighter on the bottom,

making them tip over easily.

Yours is too stable.

It's too straight. That's how the flaw was exposed.

My family's heirloom is worth nothing now.

I was hoping that in the future it would—

Don't be upset.

On behalf of the Plum Blossom Five,

I'll help you out.

I'll buy this fake for 50 yuan.

- Good!
- Thank you.

- Good man!
- Well done!

You will take it?

Thank you so much!

Thank you.

- I'll take it.
- Wonderful!

In the name of the Plum Blossom Five,

he has completely defeated the forgery!

- Good job!
- Well done!

- Bravo!
- Nice one!

What do you want?

Young man, you can fool outsiders of the industry.

But me?

- No way.
- This is a fake.

Sell it to me for 500 yuan,

and we'll be friends.

Thanks to that Buddha head,

my family became the pariah of the antique world.

I fulfilled expectations

and became scum among scum.

What's wrong?

But what I never imagined

was that the Buddha head would seek me out again.

[Release Conference for Buddha Head of Wu Zetian's Imperial Temple Hall]

Ladies and gentlemen,

on behalf of the Plum Blossom Five,

I welcome all of you to this Buddha head release conference.

With support and supervision from relevant departments,

this Chinese cultural treasure lost overseas for 50 years

has finally returned to us.
[Head of the Yellow House Plum Blossom Five: Huang Kewu]
[Head of the Red House Plum Blossom Five: Liu Yiming]

Let me introduce the next speaker,

Ms. Kana Kido.

[Release Conference for Buddha Head of Wu Zetian's Imperial Temple Hall]

I am Kana Kido, descendant of Yuzo Kido.

Returning the Buddha head

had always been my grandpa, Yuzo Kido's, dying wish.

He wanted this cultural treasure

to be returned to its home.

It had always been my grandpa's wish.

But considering that the head was a gift

from Mr. Xu Yicheng to my grandpa,

I request that a descendant of Mr. Xu Yicheng

be at the handover ceremony to accept the Buddha head.

- An outrageous request!
- Where would we find a descendant?

- It's absurd.
- That's right.

Mr. Huang, I am so sorry.

Ms. Kido insists on this idea.

I hope you can understand.

Our agreement had already been finalized prior to this.

Now, you suddenly requested

to find a descendant of Xu.

It's not impossible, but what I want to stress is,

ever since Xu Yicheng's only son,

Xu Heping, vanished,

the Xus have no more descendants.

Mr. Liu.

Yanyan.

Mr. Huang.

Why are you here?

Mr. Liu had me help out in the handover ceremony.

Mr. Huang, I specifically asked Yanyan to help you this time.

After all, she has always wanted to make a worthy contribution the Five.

And she's your granddaughter.

How can you help me?

Ms. Kido. The Xu family descendant you wanted to find

has already been found.

[File Envelope]

You're back.

Xiao Liu, I'll bring you my television set to fix.

- Put it on my tab.
- Has my semiconductor been fixed?

I'll do it when the triode arrives.

It's taking so long.

You're such an alcoholic.

It was a great scheme, but you almost ruined it by drinking.

Can't I drink on my mom's birthday?

Every day is her birthday.

[Big Four Electronics Repair]

Antiques are all the rage now.

Forget about repairing stupid electronics.

If we do this more often,

we will be able to buy a whole city house.

I don't want to trick people out of their money with antiques.

This isn't called tricking people out of their money. It's called scheming.

That gold seal was fake to begin with. I didn't lie.

You've become a clean person?

If so, pay rent on time!

Here. Don't say I never took care of you.

Mom.

Happy birthday.

- Is it your mom's birthday?
- Holy shit!

- Who are you?
- Watch your language.

Among the tricksters abusing the Plum Blossom Five's name,

you're the worst off.

A police officer?

You're just with the Five!

Are you Xu Yuan?

My last name isn't Xu, it's Liu.

You're mistaken. I'm drunk and had a fit.

Get out.

Liu Bin. Real name, Xu Yuan.

You lost your home in a big fire in 1972.

Your mom died in the fire.

Your dad, Xu Heping, rescued you,

put you in a friend's home in Fushun, and vanished. Isn't that true?

I don't know any Xu Heping. Get out.

Get out.

Your dad is dead.

[Public Security Forensic Center | Autopsy Laboratory]

I've suspected for years that your dad's disappearance

was related to the Buddha head.

But in the Plum Blossom Five, other than Mr. Liu, no one believed me.

Last week, just as I finally located Xu Heping,

he died in a car crash.

Now that Kana Kido wants to return the Buddha head,

Xu Heping happened to die at this time.

His death can't be that simple.

I'll be back for you soon.

Dad!

You're lying!

Dad!

No. I'll only give it to you if you win.

Son.

You came.

I've made my move.

It's your turn.

Now, you think of me?

It's too late.

Do you admit defeat?

You don't get candy if you lose.

Come.

This is what the deceased kept holding in his hand.

- His family should take it.
- I don't want it.

Go through the motions. Take it.

Sign here.

Ms. Kido. We'll keep the Buddha head with the Plum Blossom Five for now.

Professionals will deliver it to the ceremony later.

Sorry for being late.

Old Liu. These are the stars of the antique industry.

We came today in hopes of seeing the majestic Buddha head.

Wu Zetian ordered Xue Huaiyi to build the Imperial Temple Hall.

Countless treasures were stored within,

but none compares with this jade Maitreya statue's head

made in Wu Zetian's image.

Ms. Kido.

Such a rare treasure must be

received by the appropriate person.

There is someone I wish to recommend to you.

I mean the grandson of Yao Lai,

the head of the Black House in the Plum Blossom Five.

Yao Buran.

He has just returned from studying abroad in England.

Hello, Ms. Kido.

I am Yao Buran.

All the seniors here should know.

My grandpa, Yao Lai, was Xu Yicheng's good friend.

They discovered the Buddha head together back then.

I wonder if you feel I am qualified to receive the head.

What do you think?

Mr. Liu.

I've brought Xu Yuan, descendant of the Xu family.

You are Xu Yuan?

Letting a traitor's progeny do this important deed

will make us the world's laughingstock.

Who will take responsibility if he damages the Buddha head?

Mr. Huang, I found the man.

I know that no matter what I do, you will never be satisfied,

but this time, I'm doing it for the nation.

Can you afford to take the fall? Don't cause trouble.

Yanyan, Old Huang. It's for the good of the ceremony.

The ceremony is precisely the reason why we can't let him receive it.

Look at him.

What are you doing? Are you okay?

Using hands that touched alcohol to touch an artifact?

Are you members of the Xu family all so unprofessional?

Why do you care who I am?

I am not part of the industry. I repair electronics.

If so, go back to repairing your electronics.

Don't embarrass yourself here.

Speaking of which, when it comes to antiques,

you might not be any better than me.

Do you know what an antique is?

If you don't believe me, let's compete.

You're so drunk.

How can you compete?

Ms. Kido would like to see them compete.

If Mr. Xu loses, she is willing to withdraw her request.

If Ms. Kido said that, I will comply.

All right.

If I win, I want

to touch the head.

The source and authenticity of these artifacts are recorded here.

Now, I will give you both 10 minutes.

We'll see who assesses a higher quantity and with more accuracy.

You may start now.

Song dynasty Hutian sgraffito floral glazed conical bowl, also known as a Baby Bowl.

The lines on its surface were first made in the unmolding process,

then carved on both sides with bamboo blades.

A moment of negligence would ruin it.

Although it has been repaired, it is light and transparent.

It's a rare genuine piece.

All correct.

Wake up.

How can you fall asleep?

Bring me that bowl.

Why? Do you want to puke again?

Blue and white "dragon" jardiniere of Qianlong era. Both of them are.

Most people wouldn't be able to tell if they were real.

But look closely at the coloring.

The left one looks nonuniform, brittle, and insubstantial.

The right one has a light sheen, but isn't overly glossy.

This is called the jade texture.

Since their glazes are different,

with one being paler due to cheap Yunnan glaze

while the other is made of expensive Zhejiang blue glaze.

Now look at the dragons.

The left one is too crude. It has shape but no spirit, like a long worm.

The right one is lively, exuding the aura of a dragon.

The artists' mindsets were different.

Finally, look at the written dates.

It was made during Qing Emperor Qianlong's reign.

The Guangxu has one hill character. Qianlong has two.
[Qianlong] - [Guangxu]

So, the Guangxu is an imitation of the Qianlong.

This was actually made in Qianlong's time.

One is real, one is fake. That's the situation!

All correct.

The fake drunkard is sober!

Next.

Pretty good, right? Pretty good, right?

Chibi Scroll.

No problem can be seen in the drawing technique,

but the flaw is in the silk backing.

The backing was dyed with gardenia, black tea, and acorn shells.

In addition, it was made bitter with ultraviolet light,

which is enough to mistaken it for the real deal,

but the forgers neglected one thing.

Wu Yuanzhi was an artist for Emperor Zhangzong of Jin.

He painted in the Royal Study.

Their silk backings have double warp and single weft threads.

So a double weave.

But this painting is on a single weave.

This was typically used only by ordinary folks.

So it's a contemporary imitation.

All correct.

Sacrificial blue-glazed garlic-mouth vase.

The firing process of the vase requires 1,280 degrees Celsius.

This gold process requires 700 degrees Celsius.

Repeated rubbing would wear off the gold.

It's a high-class imitation.

All correct.

A pair of Liao dynasty Cizhou sgraffito "Peony" vases.

The shape is wrong. The base would not flare out so much like this.

- This is modern crafting. A fake.
- All correct.

Very few post-Ming Buddha statues were made with stone.

This is a rare treasure.

All correct.

Cocoon Jar, Han dynasty.

The patina and unearthing marks cannot be forged. It's genuine.

All correct.

It's a Qianlong era sacrificial blue-glazed bottle vase.

Even, uncracked glaze, and homogenous color.

- It's genuine.
- All correct.

One final minute left.

Both have 19 pieces.

Sancai-glazed Goose dish of the Tang dynasty.

The green glaze is reflective like a dragonfly's wings.

If it were an imitation, its color would be darker.

One can tell that it is definitely genuine.

All correct.

Three.

Two.

One.

Time is up.

You're crazy!

Yao Buran, 20 pieces.

This is fake.

You're wrong.

Xu Yuan, 19 pieces.

This is genuine.

Every step was certified.

It's clearly stated in the file.

You all are mistaken.

Since you broke it, how can you prove it?

In making the fake Buddha head,

they used a very rare method called Mao Tuo.

It is able to create a perfect imitation

of moss and erosion marks.

And when dropped onto the ground,

the pieces are roughly the same size, and the edges are blunt.

The genuine one would be sandstone.

It would shatter into smithereens if dropped onto the ground.

If there hadn't been cracks on the piece that allowed me to see the inside stone interior, I would've guessed wrong as well.

"Ridding the fake, preserving the real."

We should live up to this attitude.

Xu Yuan. Didn't you want to feel the Buddha head?

An ushnisha at the top with curls going counterclockwise.

That seems to be the Mathura style.

No matter in crafting or materials,

it's all in the Tang dynasty style.

The sole exception is the crown.

It appears rough

due to using the wrong polishing method.

What they should've used was softer jade-grinding sand sourced from a spring.

But forgers used harder river and quartz sands.

That's what left the scratch marks.

If you don't look carefully,

they can easily be mistaken for erosion marks.

I can't be wrong.

This is a flaw.

And someone left it there on purpose.

The head is fake.

Mr. Xu.

May I speak to you in private?

After Grandpa passed away,

I received a letter from Mr. Xu Heping.

Mr. Huang thinks the letter was forged.

International experts all believe there's nothing wrong with the Buddha head.

Xu Heping knew the Buddha head was fake?

I wish more than anyone else

that the Buddha head he provided is an imitation.

But antique authentication relies on evidence.

To maintain his status,

Mr. Huang insisted the Buddha head was genuine.

Now, even if we feel it may be fake,

we must have evidence.

So many people wish to receive the Buddha head,

but I only chose you.

If Grandpa had given away a fake Buddha head back then,

the genuine Buddha head must still be here.

Xu Heping discovered the truth.

That's why he died.

If he wanted to leave anything behind,

he would only have left it to you.

A Detached Boat Radical coin?

It is the symbol of Lao Chaofeng.

Lao Chaofeng is a code name.

No one has met him.

We only know that there's a smuggling and forgery organization behind that name.

I suppose we're not the only ones

who want the Buddha head.

Xiao Yao, the Yao clan now

only has you left.

As long as you bring the Buddha head back safely,

I will consider letting the Yao clan back into the Five.

Xu Yuan, I hope you can find it

before the ceremony.

Use the handover ceremony

to reveal the truth.

This is also your only chance

to clear the Xu family name.

I've examined the Buddha head too.

There is no way the experts were unaware of these issues.

It's just that Mr. Huang certified it, and no one dared challenge him.

So you've already decided.

There's a problem with the Buddha head. Yet you choose to accept it for the Five?

The Buddha head must be accepted.

But not this one.

Is someone there?

- Who are you?
- Mr. Xu.

We're closed. Go away.

Enough.

Our boss wants to talk business with you.

Who talks business like this?

Where did Xu Heping hide the Buddha head?

I broke it.

You're as stupid as your dad.

Then let us help you.

It's your only chance to gain back your family's honor.

- Can you take the responsibility?
- Your dad is dead.

You're as stupid as your dad.

Who will be responsible if he damages it?

- This is important.
- How can we let a traitor's progeny do it?

Don't embarrass yourself in front of us.

Do you admit defeat?

Then, no candy for you.

If you want to play, then let's play.

Boss, your order has been carried out.

Xu Yuan is on our hook.

This fire... has finally begun to burn.

Only a Xu can solve the Xu family's puzzle.

Xu Heping used to live here.

The room furthest inside.

Looks like someone has been here already.

No matter what they were looking for, I'm sure they haven't found it.

[1971/12/24]

Something is off about this compass.

Look at it. Why isn't it pointing South?

"Yin is within Yang,

not opposite Yang."

What does that mean?

Why did your dad hide these antiques here?

This isn't an antique, is it?

That's the game.

Hutian celadon jar.

Wrong glaze color. A fake.

Two seated Buddhas in iron.

Wrong forge shape. Fake.

This Longquan piece is genuine.

Fake.

This is Morse code.

Look at the first group.

A dot represents a fake.

A dash represents a genuine item.

Fake, fake, genuine, fake.

That's dot, dot, dash, dot. F.

Looks like Xu Yuan has been here.

This dad and son are interesting.

Dot, dot, dash. U.

Dash, dash, dot. G.

Dot, dot, dash. U.

Fake, fake.

They like playing with Morse code.

Morse code?

Then what is the answer?

Fu? Fugui?

Fugui.
(T/N: Sounds like the word rich.)

Fu Gui.

Mr. Liu and I investigated this person before.

Back in the day, he had relations with your dad and grandpa.

Help me find someone.

Let's go.

Come on! Don't just stand there! Let's find him!

Let me tell you. This mission is pretty dangerous.

I'm doing it for the national treasure.

You shouldn't participate.

How come you and my grandpa are the same way?

You think only men can do things, right?

Let me tell you. I'll find the head even without you.

I'm the one leading you right now.

[Huaqing Hotsprings]

That's him.

Couldn't you find a more recent picture?

You're lucky I could even find this.

I've heard that he is right inside.

[Men]

Man! I'm talking about you, man!

Are you here to bathe or look for someone?

I'm bathing.

- Bathing?
- I've already paid.

- Who is Fu Gui?
- I'll reimburse you.

Come out if you don't want to be jailed!

Are you Fu Gui? Are you Fu Gui?

Are you? I'm asking you! Fu Gui!

This place isn't for you. Get out now!

Let go. I'm looking for someone.

- Fu Gui!
- Look at the mess you made.

Fu Gui! Fu Gui!

This technique of yours...

Passed down eight generations.

It's not great.

It hasn't been passed to me yet.

- Are you really blind?
- Completely blind.

Hey, Fu Gui.

Who is Fu Gui? I don't know him.

- Time is up.
- Perfect.

Give me a massage too.

- So we can have a proper talk.
- Sure.

Let me take a sip of water first.

I'll wait.

Lie down. I'll be right back.

Freeze! Stay still.

Come here.

Aren't you blind? You run quite fast.

Fu Gui. Spring Light Hotel.

Rose Hostel.

Lily Motel.

And now, you're in Huaqing Hotsprings.

You're pretty hard to find.

Surely it isn't illegal to have multiple partners.

Do you recognize these?

[Yunnan Grottoes]

What is your relationship with the Xu family?

Xu Heping is my dad.

He left us clues to seek you out.

You've grown so much?

When did you last meet with Xu Heping?

Over a month ago.

- What did you two talk about?
- We didn't say much.

He just gave me a bronze mirror.

It had a lot of birds on it.

Where is the mirror?

All people run into hard luck sometimes.

You sold it?

Where?

Kui Market's Shen Ye.

Out of all the underground antique markets, this Kui Market is the most famous.

Shen Ye has never been seen. The related authorities have already caught on to him.

But don't worry. The treasure is still here.

Here we are.

This is an underground auction site.

Old goods, new goods, stolen goods, and gray market goods.

They have all of it.

That's the one.

Everyone, everyone!

Tonight, on behalf of Shen Ye,

I thank you for attending the auction.

- The Song dynasty peacock and lotus flower mirror.
- The auction will begin soon.

Please return to your seats.

Thank you, everyone.

Do you plan to bid or steal later?

Folks, the first item today

is a Warring States era jade dragon-phoenix double-ring.

Its most ingenious feature

is its interlocking structure.

Mercury has turned it dark and shiny,

showing that it is over 2,000 years old.

"Yin is within Yang,

not opposite Yang."

- It's 150,000 yuan, going once.
- Have you found out where Shen Ye is yet?

- Not yet.
- 150,000 yuan, going twice.

150,000 yuan, three times. Sold!

- In this kind of auction, half of the items are fake.
- Congratulations to this gentleman...

- The real items are also outrageously priced.
- ...for winning this exquisite double-ring.

- Items worth 80,000 yuan at most are sold for twice that.
- More magnificent items are coming up.

- Folks, you're in luck today.
- Will we be able to see Shen Ye today?

- Didn't I tell you earlier? You can't meet him.
- I hope you bid to your heart's content,

- How much money do you have? Give it to me.
- ...and bring something home!

- We only brought around 50,000 yuan. It is not enough.
- All right.

- There is no time to go get more.
- Let's continue with the bidding.

The second item.

Okay, the second item...

I also have ten yuan.

Watch the mirror well. Don't let anyone buy it.

Stall for time. Don't let the mirror be sold.

I have an idea.

What are you doing?

I'm finding treasures.

Do you want to grab overlooked antiques?

From where would they come from?

You just can't tell.

Watch me.

Here, look at this.

It's not small.

Great eye. It's a Ming Dynasty gilded bronze Buddha figure.

It's yours for 500 yuan.

It's worth 100 yuan at most.

Take a look.

Okay.

Here's 200 yuan. Throw in something small.

- Sure. This one will do.
- Okay, go ahead.

Stop examining it. Toss it.

Toss it?

Do you see this?

Heliotrope in rich vermilion.

It's just a little dark.

Couldn't the sellers tell?

If they had the ability, would they need to set up shop here?

Kids.

Would you like to make some pocket money?

- Sure!
- Yes!

Go and buy everything I wrote down.

Boss, I want to buy something.

Song dynasty porcelain bowl from the Imperial Kilns.

I don't see traces of the Song.

- A new forgery?
- You're a pro!

- All these for 30 yuan.
- I'll take it.

Boss, what did those two buy?

A pile of ordinary goods.

You were after the box this time, weren't you?

You're a fast learner.

Single board Huanghuali wood.

Here.

The next item is a Song dynasty peacock and lotus flower bronze mirror.

The diameter is 14 cm.

Silver-polished high-tin bronze alloy.

Exquisitely detailed.

Cast from premium molds to maximize the silvery luster.

Its starting price is 40,000 yuan.

He picked overlooked valuable pieces.

Yes.

He's either totally ignorant or an expert.

Stop here.

Folks, if you want treasures, look this way!

Finally, do me one small favor.

- Pick me.
- What do you need? I'll do it.

I can do it.

Imperial Kilns from the Song dynasty.

It's old enough.

Sir. How did you get these?

Junyao red-splashed vase from the Song dynasty.

Starting at 50 yuan. Highest bidder wins.

- Are they all authentic?
- I never lie about that.

Then why 50 yuan?

- Do you smoke?
- No.

Sir. I'll take it for 500 yuan.

No! Wait a moment.

- I'll go home to get money.
- You can take it.

This gentleman has bid 50,000 yuan already

50,000 yuan, going once.

50,000 yuan, going twice.

50,000 yuan, going three times.

It's 500 yuan.

It's 50,000 yuan four times. Anyone else?

Anyone else? This gentleman.

- Hello?
- Listen.

A Ming dynasty Cizhou jar is starting at only 200 yuan, and the top price is 10,000 yuan.

- What?
- Get out here quickly.

It will sell out soon! Hurry!

Starting bid, 65,000 yuan.

Do we have 65,000 yuan?

Folks, this item is russet-glazed celestial sphere vase.
(T/N: Is a Chinese iconography, heaven is represented as a sphere. This explains the large globular shape of the vase, which references heaven.)

Starting bid, 80 yuan!

- It's 150 yuan!
- Okay, 150 yuan!

Good, 150 yuan!

- It's 260!
- It's 260 yuan!

Any more bids?

- It's 300!
- It's 300 yuan.

Over there!

- It's 400!
- It's 400 yuan, once!

Are you sure? Is it old enough?

- Okay.
- I'm coming right out.

They're all genuine.

Folks! Everyone!

The auction isn't over yet.

Don't go!

You...

It's 480 yuan!

- It's 500!
- It's 500 yuan, once!

It's 500, twice!

It's 500, three times! Sold!

Everyone inside has come out.

- Over there!
- They left? That's good.

That's just what I want.

You ruined Shen Ye's business. Do you not value your life?

Are you selling it or not? Hurry up.

- I'm leaving if you don't.
- Come on, man!

Yes, I have more. Simmer down.

Qing dynasty blue-and-white fish-tail design...

- You're crazy.
- Take a look.

This also starts at 80 yuan.

Slow down.

I was asked to deliver this.

He said it was a gift for Shen Ye.

All the genuine items in Kui Market were picked out and sold cheaply.

Even the auction was messed up.

Hurry up.

They will all be sold out soon.

- Hurry.
- Come on.

I must get my hands on some goods.

It looks like the remaining items will be bought-in.

Is this your doing?

I'm different from the person outside.

I'm not stupid enough to make an opponent of Shen Ye.

I'm here to limit the damage done to him.

Sorry, bosses.

Today's auction is over.

Please leave the auditorium. Thank you.

- Any more goods?
- Do you have more?

Yes!

Calm down!

Blue and white vase with cover.

Quiet! Quiet!

Come on. Shen Ye invites you.

What took you so long?

Here is 50,000 yuan in cash.

Adding onto that is the treasures I chose for Shen Ye.

If Shen Ye is willing to accept this,

this will cover any losses.

Yao Buran bought the bronze mirror.

Let him have it.

You dare mess with our plans?

If you take off your big golden chain,

would your neck be green?

The kid in the photos is so cute.

Would you be able to birth such a kid?

Right, Shen Ye?

It has been a while since we've been so busy here.

You're the troublemaker tonight.

- Have some fruit.
- Thank you, Shen Ye.

I know I offended you,

but if I didn't do this,

you definitely wouldn't have agreed to meet me.

And I clearly I would never get that bronze mirror.

You want my things but won't follow my rules.

Yao Buran didn't follow rules either.

The rule is money.

I'm guessing that your mirror is part of a nested set.

An inside and outside piece can be fit together.

The genuine outer piece was auctioned off.

But the fake inner piece? I bet it is still with you.

Take it. It's a fake anyway.

All right.

I ruined your auction today.

I'll pay you back the money.

You're good with calculations.

So calculate again.

What will I do next?

Xu Yuan!

Messing with my business! You really think I wouldn't do anything?

Xu Yuan!

Xu Yuan!

Hello?

Junjun, finish your homework first.

After you finish, then you can watch Black Cat Detective, okay?

I will bring you back a treat to feed you.

Be good and do your homework.

I'm hanging up.

No more hitting him!

Shen Ye.

I'll give you this as an apology.

The bronze dragon ring from the Five's Yellow House?

Who is Huang Kewu to you?

Which of those two

won this round?

As you had expected,

they are currently even.

Do as I say.

You could have just given the object to him.

Why smash his hand?

When you first gave me the mirror,

you wanted me to make some money for you.

But then you found two people to ruin my business.

But let me tell you.

Lao Chaofeng has eyes on that brat.

If you continue mixing with them,

you'll be the next one in trouble.

[Consulting Room]

[Injection Room]

You're awake.

You're a hardy one.

Where's my mirror?

Here.

Where's the cloth?

Fu Gui was here.

Fu Gui was here?

The old con artist.

I'll go find him.

Wait.

Move aside.

Get me a train ticket for this afternoon.

I'm going to my hometown.

[South Station]

The train is arriving. Passengers for...

Xu Yuan is heading here. I've checked.

That is the only entrance to the station.

Excuse me.

- Let's split up.
- I'll go that way.

You old crook!

I'm going back to my hometown.

- Where is my stuff?
- Here.

Never let me see you again.

Out of the way!

- Move!
- Out of the way!

You two, chase him!

You three, come with me!

Move out of the way! It's dangerous!

Excuse me.

He can't do that!

Excuse me.

This train is heading to...

Excuse me.

Look.

Attention, passengers.

The train will depart shortly.

This is the last call.

Please board from Platform Two.

Do you want this?

I'll trade you for the mirror.

You've finally come around.

And I thought you were pretty clever.

Don't talk nonsense.

Without my half, you can't solve it either.

Fine.

Hurry!

Intercept him there! Hurry!

- Where is the mirror?
- All here.

Are you okay?

This way!

Get out of the way!

Didn't you say it was useless?

I said it back then. I was wrong.

Both mirrors are useful.

Where is the satin cloth then?

With Yao Buran.

But I still have the clue.

The mirror is needed to solve the words on the cloth.

You are pretty clever.

Let's buy our tickets first.

Buran, you have both clues in your hands now.

What is your plan?

Uncle Du.

I think we'll be going on a long trip this time.

Okay.

- Ace.
- Excuse us.

Two.

Two.

Then...

I've got nothing. Pass.

Don't pass. Four of a kind.

- Look who it is!
- Take over while I go to the restroom.

Stop there.

What restroom?

The restroom is that way.

I can't seem to get rid of you!

This is my train!

You're still lying. You stole from us at the hospital.

What do you want now?

I'm being beaten!

Just let them kill me!

- Keep acting.
- You have some nerves.

Act! Act! Act more!

- Why did you hit him?
- He's a thief!

You're really into it.

- What's going on?
- Don't get into our business!

This is our family's business.

Just a son hitting his old man. I'm accepting it!

- You hit your dad?
- It's none of your business.

- He's not my dad!
- I can't be your dad.

Stop.

Listen to this old woman.

What kind of daughter-in-law are you?

You need to stop him!

No, you're mistaken.

We look nothing alike!

What other tricks do you have?

You've known Shen Ye for a long time.

We're good friends from our hometown.

So you set up a trap for me from the beginning.

A misunderstanding.

You take me for a monkey?

I'm the monkey.

Are you and Lao Chaofeng on the same team?

Mortal enemies.

Kid, to tell you the truth,

your dad came to me, telling me to protect you.

Only after the accident happened did I understand.

What does it mean to protect you?

It means to not allow you to take care of this matter.

Yes, I did trade the mirror for a little money.

But I was saving that money for you.

We're on the same team.

How did you two start holding hands?

Let go.

Let's talk over there.

I copied the text in the photo to scale.

Then I used stone rubbing to print out the text on the back of the mirror shards.

Putting them together shows us the complete clue.

It's Lesser Seal font.

"North of River Luo."

That should be the city of Luo.

"East of Jiudou."

Luo's largest antique street is called Jiudou Street.

This character is unclear. A piece is missing from the mirror.

We need to think about it.

"Crouching Tiger at..."

At what?

At...

What could it be?

The Imperial Temple Hall is in Luo.

Would Xu Heping have put the real Buddha head there?

Let's transfer to Luo at the next stop.

Okay.

Keep this safe.

When someone comes looking for you, give it to him.

I... I...

That someone will be my son.

If anything happens to me, protect him for me.

Folks, let passengers disembark first.

Please make way.

Let passengers disembark first.

Please make way.

You two! You two!

You two.

Why are you following us?

I never believed that Elder Brother Xu gave away the real head.

When your grandpa was executed, I was right there.

I never believed that Elder Brother Xu was a traitor.

You're after the Buddha head, aren't you?

I've never lied to you.

- This time, I really—
- Ignore him. Let's go.

The last line is, "Crouching tiger at Zheng."

As in Zheng Hu of Zheng Clan Village.

I know him.

He died?

Senior Sir Zheng died of illness a week ago.

This was another of your traps for us, wasn't it?

Plan B. His son, Zheng Guoqu, will do too.

Boss Zheng said that if anyone sought Senior Zheng,

tell them to put a coin in the Dragon Toad's mouth and wait.

So this is what he meant by the Dragon.

I have a coin here.

We've never met him before. Shouldn't we be more presentable?

How?

Didn't you just say that you saved that money for me?

Pay up.

Your grandpa and Zheng Hu

were captured by Japanese special agents.

And I, armed with a pistol in each hand,

shot down over 30 of their man and rescued them.

Enough. Do you think you're a superhero?

Have you bought enough things?

I feel like you're setting a trap for me.

I don't feel bad spending money,

but I really think that laborers should dress simply.

You dress up too.

- Me too?
- Come on.

Change! Isn't Zheng Guoqu your eldest nephew?

You're the star of the show.

You must pay me back for this.

Let's go.

Is it okay to throw him off like this?

He should never have been involved.

It looks great, but it's just too expensive.

Look around some more.

This color is nice. This one.

It's gone.

Are you the ones who wishee to see Mr. Zheng?

Where are we going?

You have a strong background.

Lao Chaofeng's people want to talk business with our village.

Last year, you people took 70% of our business.

And you dare to come?

We wish to burn incense and pay our respects to Senior Zheng.

Lao Chaofeng said that

future profits will be split evenly.

We should be the ones

to take the final step.

The old master has returned!

I thought you were pretty smart.

Why pretend to be with Lao Chaofeng? To die?

What was I to say? Was I meant to say I'm the Antiques Police?

Do you have other ideas?

Just stay alive.

What do you think of our technique?

You've produced a high volume.

You said that you're with Lao Chaofeng.

So is he.

Why didn't you tell us you were here?

I came to welcome you.

Mr. Zheng, we're buddies.

Why didn't you come together?

A little friendly competition between brothers is necessary.

Who wouldn't want to connect with you first?

A little something to show my respect.

Seikado black-glazed Jianyao Tenmuku bowl.

And yours?

Hurry, bring out our gift.

Wonderful!

This gift can bear young!

It's a good gift that can bear young!

Grandma.

Yes. I am the meeting gift.

Will I do?

Yes!

Grandma is hungry. Let's go eat.

She can bear young! It's good.

What does he mean? Does he not like me?

Isn't that good though?

Button up quickly.

A cold would be bad for your fertility.

- Grandma.
- Button up.

Don't catch a cold. It would be bad for your fertility.

Button up.

She's not your woman, is she?

No.

She's my sister. My biological sister.

Serve dinner!

This is called Eight Cuts Execution.

Cutting it like this makes it delicious.

A stab in the back!

Hack open the shoulder!

My dad used to tell me

the penalty for deceiving the emperor

was this.

The decapitated head is paraded around!

A while back,

someone came to see my dad.

He gave my dad a Lao Chaofeng coin.

As soon as he left,

my dad died.

You say that you're with Lao Chaofeng.

Do you know that person?

If not, why should I spare you?

- Don't move.
- Don't move.

We have guests!

What is he doing here?

You left a contingency plan?

Mr. Fu came! We've been waiting for you for a long time.

Dad always used to mention you.

Now I finally meet you. This way.

Why have you brought out the knives?

I had to handle something.

What took you so long?

Do you know each other?

Yes.

More than just acquaintances.

This is my son.

Dad.

Doesn't he work for Lao Chaofeng?

Yes.

Let me.

You rotten brat.

You spend my money but disobey me!

- Sorry, Dad.
- What were you doing?

Dad!

Don't hit him.

Why didn't you watch over him?

He has gone astray.

Sorry, Dad.

I'm also working for Lao Chaofeng.

Dad. Don't be upset.

Sit down. Come.

Sit, Dad.

Why didn't you watch over your man?

Isn't she your little sister?

Our... our family is a bit complicated.

You're still acting!?

Kill them!

You're still acting!

Don't move!

Did you actually take me for a pig?

Lie and none of you will survive the day!

- It's 100 million yuan.
- What's 100 million yuan?

The Imperial Temple Hall Buddha head.

It's 100 million.

It's 100 million yuan for the Buddha head.

The Japanese have a fake head.

Xu Heping has the real one.

Xu Heping went to see your dad.

Why should I believe you?

We followed the clues here.

Xu Heping must have left other clues.

Look at this mirror. Did your dad make it?

Without us, you can't solve it either.

When we find the Buddha head,

how we divvy up the reward will be up to you.

100 million is good!

100 million can bear young!

100 million is good!

100 million can bear young!

We have a dowry now!

Mr. Fu, how hot-headed of me.

Let's eat!

- Cheers!
- Bottoms up!

Why did you come here?

If I hadn't come, you would be dead.

If you guys hadn't come, I would've already solved it.

I would've already solved it if you hadn't come as well.

Stop blathering and think of a plan.

He's coming.

Mr. Fu brought you all to our village to celebrate Lunar New Year.

We were in the wrong just now.

Let's apologize to them, all right?

You're too serious.

I'll tell the truth.

My dad did go to the back hills with Xu Heping.

Tomorrow, I'll bring you there.

But tonight, we'll stay with my Grandma

and celebrate the New Year, all right?

- All right.
- Okay.

Let's drink.

I don't care if this gift of yours was real or not.

I accept.

I like you.

As long as you stay with me, I'll give you all of the precious treasures of the back hills.

Aren't you going a bit too fast?

You like her too?

I definitely like her.

But what's the use of liking me?

What?

Look at Guoqu. Look how sincere he is!

Besides, when you're a person like me,

who wouldn't like me?

I've liked you since a long time ago.

I'll go with whoever drinks more!

Okay!

We're a family now!

Let's take a picture together.

Yes! Yes!

Let's take a family portrait!

- Let's do it.
- Let's take a family portrait!

She is such a pretty thing!

- Come!
- Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Come on!

Come on here.

Smile.

Three, two, one!

Okay!

Guoqu, let's go and give a toast to the villagers.

- Come on.
- Okay, let's go.

- Come.
- Fill it up.

Cheers!

Are you already out of breath?

Are you weak?

You're so slow.

Don't you think we got the keys too easily?

Even if it's a trap, we have to jump in.

Twelve caves. Twelve keys.

There's not enough time.

I have an idea.

Let's team up for once.

One half each.

You take the farthest ones. Let's see how fast you are.

What does it mean?

What are you doing?

Arranging them in order of the storehouses.

Twelve treasure caves containing both real and fake items.

It's the same as what was in Xu Heping's home.

Do you think it could be Morse code again?

Xu Heping wouldn't play the same game twice.

Could it be the twelve Earthly Branches?
(T/N: Old Chinese ordering system used in various contexts such as telling time)

Do you want to play another match?

It's a game of Go.

This is one-twelfth of it.

Genuine items are black stones and fakes are white stones.

The 12 caves arranged in order of the Earthly Branches form a game of Go.

It's the 1993 China-Japan match between Wu Qingyuan and Honinbo Shusai.

It was famous for its "3-3, star, and center" opening.

The match lasted three months with 13 adjournments.

Wu Qingyuan alone played against the entire Honinbo house.

There was a certain move that the house worked on for three days.

That was also the decisive move.

That move was at W160.

Soaring Span.

Although Wu Qingyuan lost in the end,

he still played a brilliant move at B161.

It blocked Honinbo Shusai's Soaring Span.

B161.

Saving Life within Death.

This move was Wu Qingyuan's best defense.

Guoqu, you've drank too much.

Look how much you drank. So much.

Let's get up and lie down inside.

Come on.

Look how much you've drank.

Was my performance real enough?

What are you saying, Guoqu?

You're drunk. You're drunk.

- I'm drunk?
- You're drunk.

I've been drinking since I was five.

Ask them. Who can out-drink me?

All right, Zheng Guoqu.

I've really underestimated you.

Your two brothers are so calculating.

If I didn't act like this,

they wouldn't solve the puzzle for me.

They should be almost done by now.

Watch her.

[The Five Planets and Twenty-Eight Constellations]

"The Five Planets and Twenty-Eight Constellations."

Everybody!

Time to do some culling!

Outsiders have arrived!

Be alert!

More people came?

They keep on arriving.

Protect Grandma.

Kill them!

Go!

This painting is fake.

Only a Tang dynasty rubbing exists of Zhang Sengyao's The Five Planets and Twenty-Eight Constellations.

Both had been purchased by Fusajiro Abe.

This is fake and incomplete.

It only has the Tail, Winnowing Basket, and Dipper Mansions.

I'll lock the door for you.

Don't open it no matter who comes, understand?

Don't go!

Bring me that box down there.

That one.

This one?

His dad left it.

It's your betrothal gift.

No, Grandma.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Huzi! What happened to you?

Grandma.

The Tail and Winnowing Basket are in the Eastern Azure Dragon.

The Dipper, the Northern Black Tortoise.

Northeast.

That's the direction.

I knew I needed to count on you.

[Fushan]

Is everything okay?

Yes.

This is the only temple in the northeastern direction.

[Ji Gong Temple]

Go in.

A Goddess of Mercy statue in a Ji Gong Temple?

Brother! Brother!

Is Grandma safe?

She's fine. Don't worry.

If I had brought weapons to the party,

all of your guys would be dead.

Didn't I tell you? Those aren't our guys.

Here. It's a chart of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Mansions.

I am sure this is it.

Something is missing here.

I knew this revolving vase would come in handy.

Dad left it for me before his death.

Open it.

Zhang Sengyao's painting.

Tail, Winnowing Basket, and Dipper Mansions.

[Tail Mansion]

[Winnowing Basket Mansion]

[Dipper Mansion]

Go down.

Open the door.

This tomb has been robbed.

Let's go.

Back then, Xue Huaiyi, Wu Zetian's favored subject,

furious from falling out of favor,

burned down the Imperial Temple Hall.

Wu Zetian later executed him in front of Yaoguang Hall.

Legend says that he moved all the treasures out

before he burned down the hall.

And the Buddha head was among them.

Found it.

The Buddha head!

It really exists!

100 million yuan!

100 million! I'll go get it!

Shut up!

Calm down.

You guys, go! Go bring it to me!

Clockwise curls.

Crown hand-polished with jade-grinding sand.

The dull glow of Tang dynasty jade.

The same face as the Vairocana at Longmen Grottoes.

It's all Wu Zetian's features.

Turns out the Imperial Temple Hall Bodhisattva Head has always been here.

Bring it here!

This layout is called Tiger's Mouth. It is a trap.

- I can't take it.
- Will you or not?

It's a trap.

Give it to him!

Give it to him. Anyway, we're dead either way.

Give it to him.

Didn't you say there was a trap?

Are you all right?

You brought men?

They brought me here.

Go.

You're with Lao Chaofeng.

I'm not with anyone.

I just want the Buddha head.

You played both sides.

You got a good look at the antique world from your journey.

Plum Blossom Five or Lao Chaofeng,

what's the difference?

I am here to put an end to all this.

Move!

Get up!

Xu Yuan!

Get up.

Come help!

Quick! Come over!

Hurry.

And I, armed with a pistol in each hand,

shot down over 30 of their men and rescued them.

What's the matter?

Let's go.

- Is everyone okay?
- Yes.

This. Here!

Here.

This is the way out that my dad left me.

In Go, it's called atari.

When three stones touch,

the situation is unlocked.

Right here. Dig.

What are you doing? Come here.

Won't you hurry over?

Let me rest for a bit.

Okay, good.

Here.

I promised your dad to protect you.

I have done it.

What did I say at the time?

A pistol in each hand

and a light machine gun.

Actually,

as soon as you entered the bathhouse, I recognized you.

You look just like your grandpa.

And you're just as stubborn as your dad was.

I just don't get it.

- What's wrong with being an ordinary man
- Okay.

with a greediness for money and women?

All right, let's go.

Come on.

When I was young,

no bullets could hit me.

I'll carry you out.

I can't go anymore.

Come on.

I can't go.

Don't get involved

with the Buddha head anymore.

You're the last of your family.

- Xu Yuan.
- I'm here.

I need to tell you something.

Tell me.

♫ Don't say goodbye ♫

♫ Goodbye is too far away ♫

♫ Whose call comes to my ears ♫

Didn't I... try to keep you away?

Your dad came to me

and told me to protect you.

This is my son.

Dad.

What does it mean to protect you?

It means to not allow you to take charge of this matter.

We're on the same team.

♫ Let the lonely spirit ♫

♫ Surging in my chest ♫

It's caving in.

Let's go!

♫ If there is no love, there is no worry ♫

♫ If you are ruthless, you have no worries ♫

♫ The wound of regret ♫

♫ Blooming bitterly ♫

Grandpa.

You did very well this time.

Back then,

when Xu Yicheng found the Buddha head,

I asked him to give it to me.

But Xu Yicheng would rather be executed as a traitor

than tell me where the real head was.

In the end,

the winner of this match is our Yao clan.

It's not over yet.

I'm just getting started with my plan.

He's dead.

The Buddha head is gone.

We're just hours away from the handover ceremony.

We followed Xu Heping's clues here.

Why would he lead us here,

while warning me that it's a trap at the same time?

A Goddess of Mercy statue in a Ji Gong Temple?

This hand posture is that of a Dharmakaya Bodhisattva.

But the Buddha head is a Maitreya Bodhisattva.

Zhang Sengyao's Five Planets and Twenty-Eight Constellations chart.

The mirror is part of a nested set.

"Yin is within Yang,

not opposite Yang."

Mr. Liu. Ms. Kido. He is here.

We can start now, right?

All right.

Let's begin.

Respected guests, ladies and gentlemen,

the handover ceremony of Wu Zetian's Imperial Temple Hall Bodhisattva Head will now begin.

[Liu Yiming] - [Huang Kewu] - [Kana Kido]

Allow me to now present one of the descendants

of the Plum Blossom Five, Mr. Yao Buran.

His grandpa, Yao Lai,

together with Mr. Xu Yicheng back in the day,

discovered the Buddha head.

Therefore, allow him, on behalf of the Plum Blossom Five,

to sign the certificate of receipt for the Buddha head.

I cannot accept this Buddha head.

What? How could this happen?

- What's going on?
- Is he serious?

At the crown of this Buddha's head

is an area polished not with jade-grinding sand,

but with very similar quartz sand and river sand.

So there are many triangular divots.

They look very much like erosion marks.

This is a flaw that can be extremely easily overlooked.

As for why Mr. Xu Yicheng gave away this Buddha head back then,

I am in no position to comment as a descendant.

What I would like to say is,

we found an identical Buddha head at Conch Mountain.

It is even superior in both quality and appearance.

Therefore, this Buddha head is the real jade Bodhisattva head

from Wu Zetian's Imperial Temple Hall.

As for the flaws on that head of the other Buddha,

I had mentioned them to Mr. Huang before.

But he ignored them.

This is the transaction record of the antique dealers.

It's evidence collected over the years by the Yao family.

All the fakes listed inside have been certified by Plum Blossom Five.

Our Plum Blossom Five never certifies fake pieces.

Whether you admit it or not,

the Five under your leadership

has been violating its motto, "Ridding the fake, preserving the real" since a long time ago.

Do you think you are still qualified to be the leader?

You must have waited a long time for this day.

Back then, we Yaos found the Buddha head.

Now, we Yaos have found it again.

If you're unable to lead the Plum Blossom Five,

then naturally, our Yao family should replace you.

Can you please explain?

How was this Buddha head found?

Please tell us about that.

Yao Buran!

I am a descendant of the Xu family.

I am the one that Ms. Kido requested.

I thought you didn't care about this ceremony.

I'm here to take back what belongs to the Xu family.

It's all over already.

The head you brought isn't the real Buddha head.

It is indeed from the Tang dynasty.

But it is a decoy that Xue Huaiyi set up back then.

It's a Sambhogakaya Bodhisattva head

placed Dharmakaya Bodhisattva body.

You even failed to notice that?

The Buddha head is the truth.

It is right here. And what do you have?

I have one too.

Xu Yuan. You say you have a Buddha head.

So bring it out immediately.

Wait a moment. I'll definitely prove it to you. I know where the head is.

We have no time to mess around with you.

Security! Get him out of here!

Come!

Let go of me.

Mr. Liu, wait a bit longer!

Put the Buddha head away.

Don't take it away!

The handover ceremony is on hold.

I really know where it is, Mr. Liu!

It's here!

You came a little late.

Do you really have another Buddha head?

My dad didn't put the real Buddha head inside the tomb.

Back then, my grandpa, Xu Yicheng, discovered this Buddha head.

The Japanese and Lao Chaofeng both wanted it.

My grandpa thought of a way to protect this Buddha head.

My dad, Xu Heping, discovered this secret.

However, to keep the head from falling into Lao Chaofeng's hands,

he changed his identity and remained in hiding for a full 20 years.

Now, he has told me the answer.

Zhang Sengyao's painting, the Goddess of Mercy statue at Ji Gong Temple,

and the yin-yang nested mirrors

all point to one clue.

One truth. It is that

the monk Baozhi of the Northern and Southern dynasties

was the original Ji Gong.

According to historical records,

Emperor Wu of Liang ordered Zhang Sengyao to paint Baozhi's portrait.

In front of the emperor,

Baozhi took a knife and cut open his own face,

revealing his true appearance.

This truth was...

The truth was under his skin!

The real is within the fake!

This is the secret

that the Xu family has kept

for 50 years.

Wu Zetian's Imperial Temple Hall,

Jade Maitreya Bodhisattva statue.

Xu Yuan, by the time you read this letter,

I believe you will have solved all the riddles.

During your grandpa's generation,

there Japanese enemies outside and domestic bandits.

As big as China was,

it was no place for an intact artifact.

[Xu Yicheng | 1909-1942]

In order to keep the Buddha head from the Japanese and Lao Chaofeng,

your grandpa was left with this desperate measure.

He let the Japanese believe that the head is real.

And let Lao Chaofeng believe that the head is fake.

Wait for the day when Yuzo Kido returns the Buddha head.

Meanwhile, I could only go into hiding

to fulfill your grandpa's dying wish.

All these years, I've been trying to find a chance to apologize to you.

But I didn't dare go to see you.

I didn't want you to take on all my burdens,

but I was also afraid of disturbing the simple and quiet life

that you finally was able to lead.

For these 20 years, I wondered every day

what you changed into.

Have you grown taller?

Do you laugh more often now?

Do you still remember what I look like?

Do you still hate me?

I am not a good dad.

I don't dare hope you will forgive me.

Ultimately, I could only use this method

to make you understand what our clan has been protecting

all these years.

I sorely miss the days of playing Go with you in my arms.

That was the happiest time of my life.

You have won

this match.

[Authorities Cracked Down on Crime in the Antiques Sector]

[thanks to help from Xu Yuan.]

[Zheng Guoqu, Yao Lai, and Shen Ye were punished by the Law.]

[Four Penitence]

China's electronics industry mourns the loss of a fix-it guy.

You couldn't even handle a Buddha head.

I'm leading the way for the antique world.

What's this?

I went to the police station.

Fu Gui's body has been taken care of.

Old Du and Yao Buran have vanished.

Currently, evidence indicates that

- Lao Chaofeng is likely–
- It's no longer important.

It's all over.

♫ Hiding a world of elegance, yet still fighting for life ♫

♫ From the haze, someone will prevent the truth from collapsing ♫

♫ The passcode to righteousness, the passionate lies ♫

♫ The unending forward steps, peeling off the disguises ♫

♫ All truths come out accidentally in the spur of the moment ♫

♫ Listening to how turbulent the chaos is, the stories detail ♫

♫ all the weight of the world, turning back to see ♫

♫ The familiar faces and fake smiles, tearing apart ♫

♫ The masks, so the emotions can surge forward ♫

♫ Dancing in the confusion ♫

♫ Finally dispersing the heavy haze during the chaos ♫

♫ You and I aren't just passing by each other in the crowd! Fame, fortune, and glory ♫

♫ might as well be the laughter and chatter coming from the mouths of others ♫

♫ Opening past wounds ♫

♫ And still pretending to be clueless ♫

♫ In the darkness, there are so many perplexing situations, it's hard to decipher what is real and what isn't ♫

♫ Half the world's elegance is covered in dust ♫

♫ But rumors continuously beat down ♫

♫ In the haze, the truth will eventually be uncovered ♫

♫ The passcode to righteousness, the passionate lies ♫

♫ The unending forward steps, peeling off the disguises ♫

♫ Fame, fortune, and glory ♫

♫ Recklessly sing praises ♫

♫ in the appropriate grandiose manner ♫

♫ Protecting one's beliefs without forgetting original intents ♫

♫ Oh ♫

♫ Listening to how turbulent the chaos is, the stories detail ♫

♫ In the city, hold on to every moment ♫

♫ Searching for shadows ♫

♫ The gears of life steer without end ♫

♫ The animals now return ♫

♫ Dancing in the confusion, Finally dispersing the heavy haze ♫
