[The Journey of Legend]

[Episode 20]

A broken sword can be reforged.

A withered flower will bloom again.

Even if the body is destroyed,

it's just a new beginning.

A broken sword can be reforged.

A withered flower will bloom again.

Son, remember this:

even if you're shattered to pieces,

it's merely a chance to start anew.

To learn and practice constantly,

is that not a pleasure?

To have friends come from afar,

is that not a delight?

To stay unbothered when misunderstood,

isn't that noble?

Applause.

Qiushui.

From today onwards,

your brother will teach you the Huanhua Sword Technique for me.

You must study hard.

Xilou,

do you think Qiushui has a talent for martial arts?

He's my son after all.

He'll be just like Yiren someday.

Qiushui,

take a break.

I made your favorite noodles. Come quickly.

Mother.

Let me wipe your sweat. Come on.

Come on, eat up.

Be careful. It's hot.

No one's fighting you for it.

Mother, it's delicious.

If you like it, have some more.

Well,

want me to roll the noodles into a drumstick for you?

Let me roll a noodle drumstick for you.

A big one.

Open your mouth. Here.

Good boy!

Eat the egg too.

Okay.

Qiushui.

Take a break.

Qiushui,

a sword is a gentleman's weapon.

Swordsmanship isn't just about techniques.

You must put your heart into it.

Remember,

the sword in your hand

represents our Xiao family.

No matter where you go in the future,

you must make the Huanhua Sword Technique renowned throughout the world.

Do you understand?

I'll keep it in mind.

Ancestors above,

Xiao Kaiyan, Xiao Yiren, Xiao Qiushui, and Xiao Xueyu

make this vow today.

We'll carry on our parents' lofty ambitions,

wield our swords for justice in the martial world,

keep our family and the country in our hearts,

and fail neither ourselves nor the ones we love.

I remember now.

I remember now.

Father,

Mother,

Yiren,

Kaiyan,

and Xueyu.

I remember now.

I finally remember.

Wonderful.

With the Changge Sword's return,

the Huanhua Sect is reborn.

Xiao Qiushui.

You are now the new sect leader of the Huanhua Sect.

Only you

have recovered, one by one, all the broken swords

of the Huanhua Sect's disciples.

This is the true meaning of reforging broken swords.

I, Xiao Qiushui,

will not fail the trust of my ancestors.

Don't worry, Qiushui.

I'll continue to help you

find a way to restore your meridians.

Your Highness,

I have no way

to repay your kindness.

Qiushui.

[Tang Sect]

Father,

I'm back.

Fang is back.

I'm glad you've returned safely.

Father,

I've come back this time to ask for your help with something.

What is it? Tell me.

If someone's meridians

were shattered

by Qu Hanshan's palm strike

and then further twisted

by the clash of the purest yin

and yang internal energies in the world,

do you think there's a cure for him?

The only one who can save Xiao Qiushui now

is Grand Master Dayin.

Father, how do you know I'm talking about him?

Prince Liang has been

sending out notices seeking medical help.

Everyone in the martial world knows about it,

let alone me.

But

why do you want to save him?

He's my friend,

and he was Tang Rou's closest friend when he was alive.

My dear Fang,

I know what you're thinking.

But

do you know who injured him so badly?

Liu Suifeng.

As the eldest son of the Tang Sect's main branch,

he has now become the Deputy Chief of the Power Gang

and a menace to the martial world.

Father,

you already knew?

Then why didn't you

keep Feng in the main branch back then?

He could have grown up

in the Tang Sect just like me.

Back then, I wanted to protect him and his mother.

But you know the rules of the Tang Sect.

Marriage with outsiders is strictly forbidden.

Back then,

to make our family the main branch of the Tang Sect,

I had no choice

but to cut ties with them.

Now the Tang Sect's Yinhai Night is approaching.

I never expected

you'd face the same dilemma I once did.

Is being the main branch

really that important?

If we weren't the main branch,

Old Madam Tang would've forced you

to marry Tang Song long ago.

Fang,

you now understand what's at stake.

As for your friend Xiao Qiushui,

whether you continue your association with him

is your decision to make.

I understand, Father.

But I must save Xiao Qiushui.

Fine.

Grand Master Dayin

lives in the nearby Biechuan Temple.

Tell your friend to seek him out.

Thank you, Father.

I won't sneak out without permission this time.

I'll just send the message to Prince Liang's quarters.

Okay.

Go now.

Everything in this world is real.

Xiao Mingming and Xiao Qiushui both truly exist.

I, Xiao Mingming, am Xiao Qiushui of the Huanhua Sect.

Could it be the Magic Code System

that caused the timelines of two worlds to intersect,

giving us shared memories?

In that world's system,

I placed the "Voidheart Codex" in the Sword Tomb.

Could it be...

Strange.

Why are

all the words here crossed out?

"Behold the divine token of mystery."

"All heroes shall bow immediately."

The divine token?

Three fingerprints.

These 3 fingerprints belong to the 3 grandmasters:

Tianzheng, Taichan, and Zhichen.

Could this be the true Hero Command Token?

Rumor has it

that the "Voidheart Codex" is inside the Hero Command Token.

But how exactly do I use this thing?

Could it be hidden as a clue,

waiting for me to uncover?

Forget it for now.

I'll think about it later.

Big Brother.

Big Brother.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

So you're here in the back mountain.

What's the matter?

It's good news.

Miss Tang sent a message by carrier pigeon.

She says she's found a way to restore

your meridians.

[Grand Master Dayin, Biechuan Temple]

Big Brother,

I knew there was a way

to heal your injuries.

Let's go.

Master, you were injured by Xiao Qiushui's

internal energy from the Shaolin and Wudang Sects.

Circulating your qi can make it better for now,

but it's not a long-term solution.

I'll go get the Herbal King.

Just do your job.

Don't act on your own.

Go do it now.

Master, you haven't fully recovered.

Please be careful.

Go.

Liu Suifeng!

You've violated the gang rules

and injured 3 demonic fighters.

Are you trying to rebel against Chief?

I was acting on Chief's orders.

How could that be rebellion?

At Xiao's Sword Manor,

you killed the sect leaders of both Shaolin and Wudang.

Do you know how much trouble

you've brought upon the Power Gang?

I was following orders.

Following orders, you say?

Look at this.

Chief's token?

By Chief's order, you are to be arrested, Liu Suifeng.

If you've got any excuses,

save them for Chief later.

Guards!

No need for that.

If Chief truly wants to see me,

I'll go by myself.

Chief,

I've brought Liu Suifeng as ordered.

Good.

Hanshan,

you may leave now.

Chief, Liu Suifeng harbors rebellious thoughts.

I fear he might harm you.

He won't. Go.

Yes.

Suifeng, come here.

Suifeng.

Do you remember this painting?

When the Power Gang was first founded,

you got the 7 of us brothers together

to paint this "Mountains After Snow."

When we drew this painting,

the 7 of us were each

supposed to paint a peak.

But you refused,

saying you'd only paint pine trees.

So there are only 6 peaks in this painting.

Back then, the 7 of us

fought countless battles in founding the Power Gang.

Only you and I survived.

Your martial skills are impressive.

Having you paint just pine trees was an injustice.

If there were to be a highest peak in this painting,

you'd be the one to paint it.

Chief,

I only wish to serve you until my last day.

I'd never overstep my bounds.

Tianzheng and Taichan

were 2 legends of the martial world.

One must observe proper formalities even just to meet them.

But you,

you killed them just like that,

forcing Shaolin and Wudang

to become the Power Gang's sworn enemies.

If it weren't for you,

White Phoenix wouldn't have been exposed and killed.

Since you're so capable,

why do you humble yourself before me?

I killed Tianzheng and Taichan because…

I just received a secret report.

The sect leaders of Shaolin and Wudang have rushed to the Xiao Residence.

Go stop them.

End their lives.

Someone impersonated me and ordered you to kill them?

Yes.

I failed to retrieve the Hero Command Token in time

and disappointed you.

I was desperate to make amends.

B-But I never imagined

someone could impersonate you

so perfectly.

One can always be outdone.

If you had the ability to kill Tianzheng and Taichan,

someone else had the ability to fool you.

You have my undying loyalty, Chief.

I never dared

to question your orders.

I never thought I'd be used like this.

But I never acted on my own or intended

to rebel against you.

I already said—

you wouldn't rebel.

What disappoints me is

that everything is falling apart now.

Suifeng.

How many years have you followed me?

Fifteen years.

Fifteen years.

Even if that guy's disguise was perfect,

you should have known

I'd never give such an order.

Was his disguise really that good,

or have you grown so overconfident

that you became careless?

People say that the Power Gang

rules the martial world and does whatever it pleases.

You've heard this so often

that you've forgotten

why we established this gang in the first place.

I dare not forget.

I know my mistake is unforgivable.

Please punish me, Chief.

Get up.

After the coming palm strike,

whether you live or die,

you will no longer be part of the Power Gang.

Big Brother.

Big Brother.

Your Highness.

I've decided to set off right now

to Biechuan Temple to find Grand Master Dayin.

When Miss Tang sent the message,

I thought you should set off early.

But that place isn't safe right now.

I heard on my way here

that Zhu the Great King and the Power Gang

have come to blows near Yunxia Mountain.

How dare Zhu the Great King

challenge the Power Gang?

His influence used to be

limited to the waterways on Long River.

But the Power Gang has too many rules.

And with the Hero Command Token incident,

they made enemies with both Wudang and Shaolin,

so Zhu the Great King seized the opportunity to win people over.

Those lone fighters who dislike rules

and enemies of the Power Gang

have all joined his ranks.

Many territories of the Power Gang

now belong to Zhu the Great King.

Your Highness,

do you know about a man called Shao Liulei?

Years ago in the battle at Wuxing Mountain,

he was Zhu the Great King's subordinate

but betrayed him during the chaos.

He helped Crazy Yan escape

and disappeared with him for many years.

This conflict at Yunxia Mountain

is likely connected to him.

You mean

Zhu the Great King and the Power Gang

want more than just Shao Liulei and the Infinite Pill;

they want clues about Crazy Yan more.

Exactly.

Okay.

Then I should hurry up

and rescue

Grand Master Dayin from this chaos.

Big Brother.

I'll go with you.

There are many maze formations around Biechuan Temple.

I learned some formation techniques at the Hailin Sect.

I can help you.

Okay.

Fewer people will draw less attention.

Qiu, you stay here

and wait for our good news.

Yes, Big Brother.

Farewell.

Wait, Qiushui.

Biechuan Temple doesn't receive ordinary visitors.

Give this letter of introduction to the monk who receives you.

He will lead you inside.

[From Liang Dou]

I'm leaving at once.

With the martial world in such chaos,

all sects must unite to face it.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Take care.

Let's go.

Chief wants you to go back.

Don't kneel here anymore.

Blade King,

please let me see Chief.

You know Chief ordered me to enforce the gang rules.

Though I have the Misery Pill,

with the blade in my hand alone,

I can still kill you effortlessly.

I only want one meeting with Chief

to beg for his forgiveness.

Blade King.

You may leave.

Yes.

Suifeng.

Get up.

Shirong.

I know I was wrong.

Please speak to Chief on my behalf.

Your mistake this time is too serious.

There's nothing I can do.

I know my mistake is unforgivable.

I'm not trying to avoid punishment.

I just want Chief to grant me death.

It's better than being expelled from the Power Gang.

Why do you have to do this?

This life of mine was given by Chief.

If he no longer wants me,

what's the point of me staying alive?

If you're willing to die for Chief,

why do you have to get his forgiveness?

Shirong.

Suifeng.

You need to wait,

not for forgiveness,

but for an opportunity.

Big Brother,

is Grand Master Dayin in danger?

If Shao Liulei is truly hiding here,

there will surely be powerful fighters around.

We need to be careful today.

Let's go.

Watch out!

This is a sacred Buddhist place.

How dare you intrude so rudely again and again?

Go away. Leave!

Sir,

I apologize for offending you.

I've come here

to ask Grand Master Dayin for help.

Please inform him of our arrival.

Liang Dou sent you to me for meridian treatment?

[Grand Master Dayin]

You are… Grand Master Dayin?

What?

If I'm not him,

you are?

Not quite what I imagined.

Amitabha.

These days, there's fighting everywhere on Yunxia Mountain.

Strife in the martial world never ends.

In such a storm of blood,

who will have the last laugh?

Perhaps it's better to leave your condition untreated.

Sir,

please leave.

Master,

I indeed came here

for meridian treatment.

But the situation is dire now.

Please leave Biechuan Temple immediately.

The forces near Yunxia Mountain

will be coming here soon.

They've been fighting for days

but never came here.

You're just trying to scare me

into treating you.

I won't fall for that.

You two, leave the mountain at once.

Master,

I'm not exaggerating.

The Power Gang and those from the waterways

are fighting near Yunxia Mountain

over Shao Liulei's Infinite Pill.

Please, Master,

leave Biechuan Temple soon.

Abbot,

bad news.

Abbot, bad news.

There are many venomous snakes around the temple.

Venomous snakes?

We just spread snake-repelling powder around the temple.

Where did all those snakes come from?

Someone must be using snakes to scout this area.

Master,

take your disciples and leave the temple at once.

Yuhan, we can't stay here long.

Take Grand Master Dayin

to stay at Your Highness's house for a few days.

What about you?

Your injuries haven't healed.

As you know,

once I make up my mind,

nothing can stop me.

Zhu the Great King and the Power Gang are coming here

all for this.

It's too dangerous for you to stay alone.

This is my only chance.

This move is dangerous,

but it's the only way to avenge the Xiao family.

What if you fail?

If I fail,

I'll just call it bad luck.

Boy.

What's your name?

I'm Xiao Qiushui.

The third son of the Xiao family from the Huanhua Sect?

The Xiao family was struck by tragedy not long ago.

You must've endured great pain

when your meridians were rejoined.

It was painful,

but I'm still a cripple now.

Compared to the vengeance for my family,

it was nothing.

Qiushui,

you've impressed me.

In the past,

when I used the Heavenly Acupuncture to repair meridians,

there was only a 50% chance of success.

Today, I'll let you decide

whether to risk your life or not.

Will you take the risk?

Master,

if I can recover,

I, Xiao Qiushui,

will be forever grateful.

Big Brother.

How is it?

Thank you, Master.

Young man,

in your current state,

you should hide away for a few years

to slowly recover.

Do you understand?

The martial world

doesn't need one more hermit,

but it could use

one more brave soul.

You brat.

Great.

Then I'll tell you one more thing.

The person you're looking for, Shao Liulei—

though I've never met him,

there's been crying

from the side hall of the temple at midnight in the past few days.

It sounds like a cat

or a person weeping.

You might want to check it out.

Alright.

Thank you, Master.

Big Brother,

I'll wait for your return.

Okay.

You take care too.

Amitabha.

[Treasury of the True Dharma Eye]

This guy is the strangest character in the book.

I remember his internal injuries

have something to do with Crazy Yan.

[Shao Liulei]

Shao Liulei.

Shao Liulei?

Shao Liulei, is that you?

Who are you?

Why are you looking for me?

Mr. Shao,

I'm not the only one looking for you.

Many people are looking for you.

Are you sent by the Power Gang or Zhu the Great King?

Tell me!

C-Crazy… Crazy Yan.

Crazy Yan, Crazy Yan, Crazy Yan.

Crazy Yan.

What's your relationship with Crazy Yan?

Mr. Shao,

Crazy Yan is my elder brother.

Okay, I see.

The Infinite Pill has the yin part and the yang part.

Take both together and you get 60 years' worth of power.

Yeah, yeah.

But my elder brother, Crazy Yan,

only gave you the yang pill.

When you took the yang pill,

the yang energy exploded through your body,

causing you excruciating pain.

M-Mr. Shao,

please don't cry.

If I can heal your internal injuries,

would you like to try?

Is Mr. Yan here?

Is Mr. Yan here?

If Mr. Yan could come,

no one could stop him.

Right.

Right.

So many people have come.

Who are they?

They're all here looking for you.

Are you mistaken?

Impossible.

Shao Liulei wouldn't hide far away.

We haven't seen the target yet,

but our opponents have caught up.

So annoying.

Wherever we go,

you follow right behind us.

Shao Liulei is one of us from the waterways.

Li Chenzhou shouldn't be after him.

You haven't found him either.

So why are you on our tail?

We've been at this for days.

All those small skirmishes led us nowhere.

Why don't we settle this with a real fight today?

You think we're afraid of you?

Everyone's here.

Song Mingzhu,

you came at the right time.

With you here,

those guys won't last long.

Master sent me to find Shao Liulei.

I don't recall him sending any of you.

We're just acting in Chief's interests.

Good.

Go on and fight.

I'll go take a walk.

Come, come.

Why did Mr. Yan

send you to me?

Has Shao Liulei never met Mr. Yan?

He said he's felt bad about how he's treated you

over the years.

He wants me to teach you

a method to remove the yang energy from your body.

What method?

What he means is,

if you return the Infinite Pill,

he'll tell you about the method.

I've got it right here.

This pill

had been with Mr. Yan for many years.

He never needed it.

Why does he suddenly want it back

after I took it?

Actually,

my brother doesn't want it for himself.

He and I have reunited,

and he wants to give this pill to me.

To you?

If you don't believe me,

you can check my pulse.

I've lost all my martial arts skills.

No need for that.

I tested you just now.

You have no martial arts skills.

Open your mouth.

So this is the Infinite Pill.

I'll take it.
