For you!

Reward them! Tips for all!

Beautiful dancing, Yulian.

Drink up.

Chen Yunqiao.

Who's that?

Me.

Spent all the money? Want more?

Want more?

That's the cat!

Yunqiao, your cat's here with your purse!

I've thrown a feast and paid you all

but what to offer a mere animal?

Have a fish.

I only eat eyeballs.

You know that.

Whose eyes will you give me?

Over there!

Up there!

Beast!

Yunqiao.

Debts must be repaid.

Listen up.

I'll see you at home tomorrow night.

My eyes!

My eyes!

Chunqin!

What sort of monster did this?

A cat.

What's the link to the cat in the palace?

They're one and the same.

Oh?

Three heavy pawprints, one light.

Exactly the same.

But what's that mean?

One of its legs was injured.

Look here, Inspector Li.

You said the emperor

was 'frightened to death'. By this cat?

I'm sure of it.

Then we wronged you,

Scribe Bai.

You didn't resign.

Fired, resigned, same thing.

A lowly official still has principles.

All I ask is not to record lies.

Yesterday, they crowned the prince.

Straight away, he became paralyzed.

The emperor is dead. Li Song is next.

The prophecy has come to pass.

No emperor has had a curse before.

Who can lift it?

Kukai is from Japan.

He's a famous exorcist.

Who better to take on the demon cat?

Why do this to me?

You're an exorcist.

You want to get into Qinglong Temple.

Now you've good reason to stay!

Right.

What are you thinking?

Why did the cat attack Chen Yunqiao?

He's head of the Imperial Guards.

What's their role?

To protect the emperor.

His family has done this

for three generations.

Three generations?

The cat said, "Debts will be repaid."

But who incurred this debt?

What kind of debt

sees two emperors fall

and their top guard attacked?

The palace?

Why are we here?

You asked whose debt it is.

Whose is it?

A previous emperor for sure.

One from the past?

What's the connection to Chen Yunqiao?

Is the cat really coming back?

He told me so last night.

You brought on this disaster.

You spent the money.

Shh...

Chunqin!

She's your wife.

Will you save her?

Help! Help!

Open the door!

Yunqiao, save me!

Save me!

Chunqin!

Save me, Yunqiao!

How'd you get here?

You weren't going to save me.

Who are you?

Yulian is sick?

She fell into a coma.

No, she was poisoned.

Huh?

Get some raw meat, hurry!

Ok.

Such beauty,

rotting like a dead flower!

No time for poems. Find a brush and ink.

Let me stay for the night.

Hmph.

What's with all the Buddhist symbols?

It's not just a symbol. It's light.

Look.

Here.

Is it fresh?

Yes.

Give it to Bai.

Needle.

Hold on to her!

Catch them.

What are these?

Venom worms!

They poison living flesh.
