During the Warring States period, an accident made Princess Banxia of the State of Zhao an orphan. She wandered among the people and met the two disciples of the divine doctor Cangshu, Goubao and Dushuo, as well as the daughter of the witch doctor Gegen, Dingxiang. Four childhood sweethearts grew up together. The lover of Banxia has excellent medical skills in living alone, but is greedy for glory and treacherous. Banxia gradually discovered that Goubao was the one she loved throughout her life. Goubao comes from a humble background and is skilled in devising tricks to seek medical treatment. His lifelong ideal is only to help the world by hanging a teapot. Fate has repeatedly dragged him into crisis. Goubao adheres to justice and medical ethics. With the help of cloves, kudzu root, Banxia, and several disciples, he devoted himself to studying medical skills and repeatedly thwarted the conspiracy of Du Huo with his magical medical skills. Living alone and doing many wrong deeds will lead to self destruction. Goubao ultimately achieved his life ideals, staying away from grudges and disputes. He traveled to the people with his lover's cloves, treating countless illnesses throughout his life. He was revered as a divine doctor by future generations.
Quick! Quick!
Stop!
Brothers.
Just now I saw a figure drifting by.
Did you see it?
No, I didn't see it.
Did you see it?
I didn't see it, either.
Let's take a rest at the suburban courier station.
Quick!
Zi…Zisu.
Come on. Come on.
Li Duhuo, kill him.
What did you do to her?
She is your woman.
How can I repay you?
Goubao, kill him.
Goubao.
You're going to the execution ground tomorrow.
You two have a nice chat.
I won't bother you.
Li Duhuo
I'll kill you.
Zisu, Zisu
Zisu, I implicated you.
I'm sorry.
Be assured.
I will definitely be responsible to you.
Kill him. All right, all right.
Kill him.
I will. I will.
It's all right now.
It's all right now.
Dad
early tomorrow morning
I'll sneak into Xinzheng
to contain Li Duhuo.
You stay here.
After I rescue Goubao and Zisu
let's converge.
No, Xia'er.
If you go, that's asking for death.
You will fall into Li Duhuo's trickery.
This matter must be done
by me personally.
Dad, as you know
if you go
you will also
fall into Li Duhuo's trickery.
I have my own way
to head off the danger.
You are always like this.
Look at yourself.
Godfather
your current physical condition is not good.
You can't take the risk.
It's better that I go.
Stop it.
Xia'er
if I really can't come back
you should do as Goubao said.
Find a peaceful land
and take them all to live a good life there.
This is also my expectation.
Do you understand?
Dad, you can go.
But you must take me with you.
Do you want to piss me off?
Dad
Wizard Ge
What do you plan to hold Li Duhuo back?
Brat Goubao
has wanted to compete with me on healing arts.
I will satisfy him.
Tomorrow early morning
Caishikou execution ground
will definitely be crowned with lots of people.
With the presence
of all the people in Xinzheng
I will win Goubao and let him sincerely convinced.
Dad.
If nothing unexpected happens
tomorrow Banxia
will break into the execution ground.
Commander Li is plotting a sure catch.
Yes.
Bring one hundred master-hands tomorrow.
Dress them up as common people
and lurk around the execution ground.
Once someone breaks into the execution ground
you come out from four directions and subdue them.
Guard each exit.
Don't give them any time to react.
If they escape
from our encirclement
what should we do?
I have already notified
the guards at the gate.
As long as they see the smoke signal
they will close the gate immediately.
Anyone with any token
is allowed to leave the city.
It seems that this time they
are doomed.
Brothers!
Here!
It's the time for you
to make great achievements.
According to His Majesty's order
those who can kill rebels
will be awarded 1000 taels of gold.
The one who can kill Banxia
will be appointed as Deputy Commander of imperial guards.
Share weal and woe.
It is said one day Monarch Mugong of Qin State
saw Consort Chu gloomy.
He urgently called the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor made a prescription:
eight strong men.
A few days later
Monarch Mugong of Qin State came back to the palace.
He saw Consort Chu quite radiant.
But when he saw eight skinny men in the imperial court
he was so surprised and asked who they were.
The imperial doctor answered that they were decoction dregs.
No, you.
you should laugh.
Cooperate with me.
That's right.
Well
a filthy mouth can't utter decent language.
Today you have told
ten jokes.
All of them are spicy jokes.
If I don't laugh
you will feel quite embarrassed.
No, I only can tell spicy jokes.
I have no chance to know Confucius.
It's too late to make any chance. Long live understanding.
Tomorrow we'll
be beheaded, right?
It doesn't matter. On the way to the netherworld
I'll tell jokes for you.
If we can survive
I will definitely tear Li Duhuo
into pieces.
If you can survive
I'd better that I teach you Medical skill.
What Medical skill?
Medical skill can cure diseases and save people's life.
It is much better than killing.
Can Medical skill save people?
Of course.
Don't believe Lord Gen's
superstitious witchcraft.
Medical skill
is the right way to cure diseases and save people's life.
So far
I have only accepted Dahuang as my apprentice.
I didn't intend to
accept more apprentices.
But I think you are
talented in this area.
Your bone structure is unusual.
Judging from this
you have much potential in studying medicine well.
If I don't teach you, it's a great pity.
How about it?
I'll make an exception and accept you as my apprentice.
Don't be ungrateful.
It seems that I've
heard such words before.
That's right.
Well
are you willing to learn from me?
I just want to follow you.
I see.
You just want to follow me to study medicine, right?
Then call me master.
Master.
Good apprentice.
No need to kowtow.
I'll sleep for a while.
You.
Dingxiang.
Sister Xia'er.
Sister Xia'er.
Do you have any idea?
As I saw you blink today
I know you must have an idea.
Well, well.
Sister Xia'er
are you sure that
imperial guards live inside?
I'm not sure.
The last time I heard the patrolling rangers
mentioning it.
Take a chance.
What if
What if we enter the wrong door?
Look at me.
Open the door! Open the door!
Who's there? It's so late.
Open the door!
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Captain Liu of imperial guards.
Who is Captain Liu?
I don't know him.
A man with full beard.
There are
several men with full beard.
They are all captains of imperial guards.
Just that one.
Which one are you looking for?
Just that one.
The thinnest one.
The thinnest one. I know him.
I'll call him for you.
No need. I'm his wife.
May I ask you a question? After he patrols the mountain
does he usually stay here with you?
Yes, what's up?
Does he usually bring
any libertine women back?
It seems no.
Really no?
Or falsely no?
I tell you.
If you dare lie to me
I will let you
bear the consequences.
I really don't know. I didn't notice it.
If he brings
any libertine women back
I will castrate him.
Which room does he live in? Tell me!
The second room upstairs on the left.
This is our master's reward to you.
As you know, our master
values the dignity most.
If anyone asks you about this matter
just say that
you don't know anything.
I'm dreaming.
Quite smart!
I will go back to sleep.
Help yourselves.
Husband.
Have a sound sleep
till tomorrow morning.
Commander Li
The defending troops at the gate found Ge Gen.
Don't worry about him.
He is not a threat to us.
When the big fish comes
we'll draw in the net.
Yes.
Don't worry about me. I know what to do.
Wizard Ge, are you free today?
I will
go to Caishikou execution ground
and compete with Miracle Goubao.
If you are interested
come to applaud us.
Come for applause.
Certainly. Certainly.
Come for applause.
Certainly. Certainly.
Come for applause.
Come for applause, everybody.
OK, OK, OK.
Come for applause.
Princess
Stay at home today. Don't get out.
I've assigned one hundred imperial guards
to guard our mansion.
After I kill the rebels
I'll invite you to drink celebration wine.
Don't make me worry about you.
Listen up, everybody.
Anyone who dare to intrude
must be killed.
Yes.
I'm leaving.
Husband, take care.
I stYesd up all night yesterday.
I am afraid of pain, but I am more afraid of death.
However, today
when the sun rose
I was suddenly not afraid.
We should face death with a smile.
In fact, death is not terrible.
Then why are your legs shaking?
They are not shaking.
Because I've sat for a long time.
My legs are cramping.
What are you doing?
Cut the crap. Go.
Go.
No, no, no.
I don't want to die yet.
Wait a moment.
Wait a moment.
I don't want to die.
Goubao
I have chosen a
superior graveyard for you.
And the coffin
sacrifices and spirit-money
are all selected as per the standards of nobles.
How about it?
Senior brother is generous to you, right?
Buy the coffin for yourself.
In a few days
you'll need it.
Why are you still so stubborn?
By the way, Zisu
I drank too much that night.
The blame is on the man behind you.
I will kill you.
I will kill you.
Zisu
don't argue with a beast.
Remember. The god has eyes.
The evil won't come to a good end.
Dingxiang just entered the city.
They are coming to the execution ground.
Hold on.
It's impossible that Banxia won't come.
Zisu
I seemed to have seen Lord Gen just now.
Lord Gen. Where is he?
How about Huang Qin and Huang Lian?
Will they come to save us?
This is Li Duhuo's
trap.
He is waiting for them to fall into the trap.
I'm so wrought-up.
What are they dillydallying?
Why haven't they come yet?
Now it's
almost nine o'clock.
I'm really wrought-up.
Time is up. Behead right now.
Execute!
Goubao.
Get out of the way.
Lord Gen, why are you also here?
Wizard Ge is his accomplice.
Capture him.
Wait. Wait.
Lord Li, I
want to compete with
brat Goubao on healing arts.
Compete on healing arts.
This brat has been challenging me for a long time.
If I don't accept the challenge
others will gossip.
Today I will
prove to everyone that
medical skill is only an insignificant trick.
My witchcraft
is the right way in the world.
Lord Li
is also a doctor.
I believe you won't object it.
Master Li
after I win the competition
you can behead us three
together in the public.
Please agree.
Ge Gen's intention
is just to stall for time
and wait for their reinforcements.
Commander Li
no one can rush out
our encirclement.
These humble rebels
can't turn over the sky.
How about waiting for Banxia's accomplices?
When they come, let's wipe them out together.
Lord Li
I beg you to consider our previous relation
and agree with the competition on healing arts between Goubao and me.
Competition! Competition! Competition!
OK, I'll give you two hours.
Competition! Competition! Competition!
Untie Goubao.
Yes.
Competition! Competition! Competition!
Lord Gen.
This is Li Duhuo's trickery.
For the sake of fairness
We will find a patient at the scene.
The one who can
cure him in the shortest time
will be the winner.
Hello everybody!
Who is feeling not well?
Please go up onto the platform.
Me! Me!
Come on. Come on.
Wizard Ge
I have a terrible stomachache recently.
Your ophryon looks dark.
You have sores on face and ozostomia.
You must have been haunted by a specter.
I will
practice magic to expel the specter?
What specter?
He is just constipated.
Don't interrupt me
to resort to magical arts.
Otherwise, this buddy will die.
There are a lot of feces in his stomach
Due to long-time accumulation, the feces are as hard as stones.
The influence is like swallowing several kilos of poisons.
If he can't be cured now
even god can't save him.
Nonsense. Get away.
You are coming finally.
Brothers, thank you.
Everyone, come with me to rush into the city.
Let's rescue Zisu and leader.
There are clothes over there.
Be quick to put on them.
OK! Go!
Quick!
All right!
Your specter
has been expelled by me.
It's all right.
Wizard Ge
my stomach still hurts.
It still hurts. Eat this.
Will it work?
Of course!
Look at your complexion.
Black without gloss. Much toxin is hidden inside.
It definitely indicates inhibited defecation.
Your feces are dry and hard.
It has been five days that you didn't defecate, right?
It has been six days.
Look!
Don't try in vain, Goubao.
You will definitely lose.
Within half an hour
he will…
Why did he fall down?
Why?
I have the expelled
that specter already.
Lord Gen, your witchcraft doesn't work.
You have to believe in medical skills.
Come on. Come on.
Get up.
Stick out your tongue.
Come.
The pulse condition is weak and wiry.
Although you desire to defecate
you can't discharge it in latrine.
Do you often feel dizzy?
I feel tired without doing anything, right?
Doctor, how do you know?
Of course. Come.
I acupuncture you
with two needles.
Then you will get well.
How do you feel?
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Why is he in such a hurry?
Go to the latrine for sure.
Just now
I acupunctured him with a couple of needles to relax the bowels.
By the way, it can also nourish and tonify his body.
After he takes come medicine
he will restore completely in a couple of days.
Miracle doctor.
You're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome.
Don't acclaim now.
The winner can be decided only after he comes back.
What are you going to do in the city?
Buddy, we are going to visit our relatives.
Where do your relatives live?
Buddy, we are from humble families.
Even if I tell you
you don't know them.
Right?
Go, go, go.
Go.
You are from the tribe.
Miracle doctor
I don't feel any pain now.
Good, good, good.
Get up. Get up. Get up.
So it is.
I'll make two prescriptions for you.
The first one is for relaxing the bowels.
Take ipomoea hederacea and rhubarb powder after mixing them with water.
Once a day.
The second prescription is
for the nourishing blood.
Take rehmannia and rumex japonicus after they are decocted with water.
Twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening.
The materials are available in pharmacies. Fill the prescription by yourself.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Lord Gen, I'm flattered.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Lord Gen.
Miracle doctor Goubao. Miracle doctor Goubao.
Commander Li
a small group of rebels
just broke in
defense of south gate.
Now they are rushing here.
They will arrive here soon.
How many people?
Around one hundred.
So few people. It's not a threat at all.
Have you seen Banxia?
No.
Back off and get ready for the execution.
Execute!
Lord Gen. Lord Gen.
Release me.
Lord Gen. Lord Gen. Lord Gen.
Quick, quick, Goubao.
Li Duhuo, I'll kill you.
Sister Dingxiang, you are too naïve.
Do you think in this way
you can approach me?
Li Duhuo
if you are a man
just come over.
Let's fight in a one-to-one manner.
In one-on-one manner
can you beat me?
You are so ungrateful.
I'll beat you to the ground
and drool in pain.
Sister Dingxiang
where is Banxia? Tell me!
I'm here.
Tell your men lay down their weapons.
Everyone, lay down your weapons.
Xia'er
Xia'er
Goubao, you go first.
I'll come soon.
Be careful. Treat.
Lord Gen, hurry to go.
Hurry up!
Go.
Arrange a carriage
to take us out of Xinzheng.
Otherwise
we will never
be lenient.
Do as what she said.
One more step forward
I will kill him.
As long as you release Commander Li
we can do anything.
Back.
Back.
It seems that you have to give us a ride
What if I refuse?
I'll kill you.
Tortoise Li, as long as we are safe
we'll let you go back.
Why should I trust you?
You have no choice.
Go!
Quick!
Get on.
OK.
Quick! Hurry up!
Quick!
Now Li Duhuo has also been caught.
What shall we do?
I don't know.
Let's wait for Lord Bao.
Here they come.
Li Duhuo.
Li Duhuo, I'll kill you.
Zisu.
Master.
Now that you call me master
you have to listen to me.
We are doctors.
We only save people instead of killing.
Although Li Duhuo is heinous
someone will punish him.
If you kill him
it will only get your hands dirty.
I'll spare your life today.
Master
what's going on here?
I forgot to tell you.
I have accepted Zisu as my apprentice.
Such a gorgeous
beauty becomes your apprentice.
Besides, it's Zisu.
Chieftain's wish is fulfilled.
What's wrong?
Du Zhong is quite obedient.
He is not chasing us.
Li Duhuo, go.
Goubao, I've treated you so harshly.
You really let me go?
Don't talk nonsense. Get off my sight.
Even if I return to the palace
His Majesty will ask me to still kill you.
I told you to cut the crap.
He's not dead
Not dead, just a little hurt.
He will restore in a few days.
Go, go, go.
Xia'er, retreat. Retreat.
No breathing.
You lied to me.
Why did you let him go?
I didn't lie to you. I touched him at that time.
He was almost no breathing indeed.
Imagine that you have taken the revenge successfully.
OK?
Think about it. If you really kill Ji Yi
will Li Duhuo spare you?
If Li Duhuo kill you
will Tianqi spare him?
In more than ten years
Tianqi will kill Li Duhuo
and Longkui will kill Tianqi.
Hate begets hate.
Isn't this a vicious circle?
Everybody, get on the carriage.
Get out of here.
Let's go to Dahuang and Ji Chong.
Get on the carriage. Get on.
Sister Xia'er
get on, please.
Let's go.
Commander Li. Commander Li.
I have already mobilized
all the cavalries in the city.
In one hour
I'm sure to capture them.
Commander Li
The whole army returns to barracks.
Quick!
Mum, where are we going?
We're going to a
place without evil people.
Great! Great!
I like places where there are no evil people.
Ji Chong, don't be afraid.
We are all here.
Dad, dad.
Godfather.
Dad, dad, what's wrong with you?
Dad, dad.
Dad, are you OK?
Lord Gen, it's all my fault.
I shouldn't compete with you on healing arts
The sudden angry resulted an urgent attack
to the heart.
Don't say that, Goubao.
Since my childhood
I have been studying the witch doctor skill.
I have always believed
it is the best way to save the common people
from their sufferings.
As a result, you proved with facts
that I am wrong.
Lord Gen.
I know you since you were a kid.
I know you are a kind person.
Don't think much about it.
When we get ahead
let's find a safe place.
I'll make a diagnosis and treatment for you.
Zisu, drive steadily, please.
There is an inn in front.
Stop! Let's eat first.
After the meal, we'll move on.
Yes, master.
Quick! Quick! Quick!
Medical Officer Li Duhuo has rendered great service to protect
and cure His Majesty.
You are rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold
fifty rolls of silks and satins
and a box of bronze ware.
Father, your favors to me
are weighty as a mountain.
Curing your illness
is my duty.
So many rewards.
I really don't deserve them.
Duhuo, get up.
Thank you, father.
Duhuo, you are not my own son
but equal to my own son.
When I was ill
I couldn't get well for a long time.
it was you who cured me of my illness.
When I was assassinated
it was you who blocked the arrow for me.
Later, I was bewitched by Ge Gen.
I almost misunderstood you
and killed you.
You didn't bear grudges
What's more, you were so loyal to me.
Besides, you sent me the close-fitting armor
and saved my life.
God knows your loyalty and filial piety.
Father, I…
This wine cup is
my favorite utensil.
One has been used by me.
The other one
has been kept by me.
Now I give it to you.
Father, I'm flattered
with reverence and awe.
Duhuo, please get up.
In my eyes
you never claim credit for yourself and become arrogant.
No, I value your
honest character that don't take the credit for
being meritorious to me.
Thank you, father.
Duhuo, Duhuo
In my eyes
you are always decent
and scholarly.
If you are not my beloved son-in-law
I will definitely
grant you with dozens of beauties.
No need.
Dozens of beauties. Dozens of beauties.
Good, good.
The treatment of Medical Officer Li in the future
is equivalent to that of Crown Prince.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Medical Officer Li
these are the gifts that His Majesty send to you.
Please have a look.
Please say thanks to His Majesty for me.
Yes.
If this jade bracelet
is worn on Xia'er's wrist.
It must be a perfect match.
Xia'er, you said Tianqi
is not my child.
He's Goubao's child.
Because I betrayed you
as a result, you are deliberately annoying me, aren't you?
But do you know why I betrayed you?
Because I have my own difficulties.
You have to take revenge.
That's why I'm stuck in the palace
such a quagmire.
Return to the palace.
Yes.
Princess, this is the gift list.
Please have a look.
Has Medical Officer checked it?
Yes, already.
Since he has checked it
I don't need to check it again.
Send the wind cup granted by His Majesty
to the room of me and Medical Officer.
Yes.
Princess.
Husband, it's getting late.
Take care not to catch cold.
Princess, please take a seat.
Back off.
Yes.
Princess, you look after our child every day.
That's very tiring.
Please take good care of yourself.
Father granted so many rewards today.
But one thing is in lack.
It makes me displeased.
What's in lack, princess?
I'll send someone to get it for you.
You guess.
Duhuo is too stupid to guess it.
Look!
I know you can't guess it.
I mean that father
didn't grant you cities and towns.
Father's rewards
are really munificent.
I'm flattered.
I'm just a doctor
with the duty to cure diseases and save patients.
What I want is only to help father enjoy a good health and longevity.
I have no desire
for any other aspects.
Don't be so genteel.
Although father did not
grant you cities and towns
the wine cup granted by him is
much more meaningful.
What does this wine cup mean?
Father originally intended to grant this wine cup
to my elder brother.
But my brother
has become insane now.
Now he grants it to you.
There is a profound significance in it.
What do you mean
by the “profound significance”?
Father means
in the future, the whole Zheng State
is yours.
So, there is no need to grant any cities and towns to you.
Princess, are you kidding me?
I never thought about it.
Today, please use
the wine cup granted by father
and have a drink with me.
Somebody! Pour the wine.
Hold on.
Princess, you are still in suckling period.
You'd better not drink wine.
I asked them to pour the wine for you.
As for me, I will drink
the health-care tea that you prescribed for me.
Princess, I can
do it myself.
Come on, princess.
Husband, when you become the monarch in the future
I will be the queen.
Of course.
Today, when father granted the rewards
he told me that
fortunately, I am your husband.
Otherwise
he will reward me with dozens of beauties.
How dare he?
If so, I'll rush into the throne hall
and make a big uproar.
Princess, rest assured.
Even if he rewards me
I won't accept.
Husband, in fact, the rewards of cities or towns
and the throne
don't matter to me.
What matters is that
you and I can stay together forever.
So, I'm very happy.
I also think so.
Come on.
What's that noise?
Are chasing forces coming?
What to do?
Animals outside are barking.
It's fine.
Mum, my uncle is so timid.
He is afraid of so many things.
Really, mum.
Tianqi is not afraid.
Even a tiger comes, I dare to hit it.
Tianqi
uncle
used to be a great hero.
He even dared to eat live mice.
Later on
he ate so many mice.
So, he became timid.
When he recuperates for a period
uncle
will become a great hero again.
Well.
Why is this carriage so crowded?
Master, there is a village in front.
Quick!
Dad.
Sir, all your dishes are served.
Please enjoy your meal.
OK.
Let's eat, everyone.
Thank you.
Let's eat! Eat!
Stop! Stop!
Damn!
Our travelling expenses have been spent up.
Let's eat first.
Yes, things will eventually sort themselves out.
In the end things will mend.
Let's eat! Eat!
Let's eat first.
Exactly, think about other things
after we are full.
Can they let us
spit the food out?
Be quick to eat. Be quick to eat.
Just eat! Just eat!
Let's eat.
Brother Goubao.
Come on, Brother Goubao.
You should eat more.
Eat more.
Why are you
picking up meat for my foster father Goubao?
I am the youngest here.
OK, OK! Come on!
Grandpa picks up meat for Tianqi.
Just eat. Just eat.
Just eat. Come on.
Come on and eat.
Just eat and enjoy it.
Dingxiang.
Dad, do you
intend to complain about me not filial to you?
Eat more.
Everyone, be quick to eat.
Let's resume our journey after this meal.
All right.
Eat more, Dahuang.
Dad, what's wrong with you?
You ate nothing.
How can you get well in this way?
I don't want to eat.
I'll go out for fresh air.
Dad.
It's fine.
Everyone, be quick to eat.
I'll go out and have a look.
I'll go with you.
Just eat.
Goubao.
Lord Gen, you are spitting blood.
Lord on, before we came out this time
we didn't take much herbal medicine.
Almost none is suitable for you.
Since there is an inn here.
Probably it's not far from the town.
I'll go to the town later.
As long as they finish the meal
let's go to the town and get some medicine.
Goubao.
both you and I are doctors.
As for my disease
you know it better than me.
It needs at least eight or ten sets of medicine
or a good recuperation for at least ten days or half a month.
Otherwise, it can't be cured.
Even if I recuperate and take medicine for a long time
it may not be cured.
What's more, it's a harsh period at present.
But Lord Gen
Please rest assured.
Music
