Episode 7

Mother!

Mother.

What a shock.

A wonderful stance on the peerless Ning family sword.

My dear.

Your move was so swift that even I could not follow your sword.

Headmistress.

However fast Tian Boguang's blade may be, he can't compare to your sword.

Chong, if you work hard, I shall pass it down to you.

Thank you, Headmistress!

Mother!

Mother, I want to learn it, too.

Your internal strength is not yet strong enough.

You cannot master this style.

Father. Mother is playing favorites.

She favors only Elder Brother.

Father, you should also devise a matchless Yue family sword art.

Pass it down to your daughter and I'll compete with Elder Brother.

I am not as clever as your mother.

I cannot devise any new moves.

Father, it's not that you cannot devise any.

It's that you fear your wife and do not dare to.

Such nonsense! This child.

Master.

The incense in the ancestral hall has been arranged.

Get up. You don't need to be so courteous at home.

Dear.

Each time you leave home, you take in three or four disciples.

Why did you only pick one up this time?

As you always say, quality far outweighs quantity.

Look. What do you think of this one?

He looks a little too pretty.

He doesn't seem well-suited for martial arts.

Perhaps he should study with you and become a top scholar in the future.

A top scholar?

Great.

If Mount Hua Sect grooms a martial arts scholar, it would be a supreme honor.

Let's go.

Mount Hua Sect disciple, Yue Buqun, today takes in Lin Pingzhi of Fuzhou.

Please give us your blessings from above.

Guide Lin Pingzhi to work hard and abide by the laws of this house.

Let him uphold the name of the Mount Hua Sect.

I shall strictly adhere to my master's teachings.

- Linghu Chong. - I am here.

Recite for me the laws of this house.

Yes.

The seven taboos of Mount Hua.

One, deceiving or disrespecting elders.

Two, bullying the weak or hurting the innocent.

Three, perversion and the harassment of women.

Four, envy and the killing of fellow Sect members.

Five, theft and the ceding of principle for profit.

Six, arrogance and offense towards other clans.

Seven, befriending of bandits or collusion with evildoers.

These are the seven taboos of Mount Hua that all students must adhere to.

Linghu Chong.

Do tell.

How many taboos did you break while you were away?

I know I have done wrong.

I failed to adhere to the teachings. I broke the sixth taboo of Mount Hua.

At South Mount Heng, I killed Luo Renjie, a disciple of Qingcheng Clan.

Father.

Luo Renjie took advantage of others. He deserved death.

Be quiet!

We are discussing the laws of this house.

You talked about being destined to lose when meeting a nun?

And you also said that I was afraid of nuns as well?

I have spoken out of turn.

You are behaving too unmannerly now.

I know I have done wrong!

You clearly knew that Qu Yang was an elder of the demonic cult.

Why didn't you strike him down right away?

You even helped him to deliver that qin, too.

Him saving your life was an elaborate scheme to begin with.

His purpose was to stir conflict among the Five Mountain Sword Alliance.

Can't you understand that?

You are such a bone-headed fool.

What kind of person is Liu Zhengfeng now?

He is no more than a traitor of the Alliance.

You can no longer tell right from wrong.

Within the martial arts world, how can you establish yourself now?

I'll ask you this now.

In the future, could you without reservation, kill demonic cult members?

So thick-headed and stubborn.

Linghu Chong.

On this trip down the mountain, you have sullied the name of Mount Hua.

I now confine you to Repentance Cliff to reflect for one year.

I want you to think over this matter from beginning to end.

One year?

I gladly accept my punishment.

Father!

Father.

Why did you punish Elder Brother to repent for a year?

What's so strange with the punishment?

When your grandmaster committed a fault in the past...

he was confined at Repentance Cliff for three-and-a-half years.

He didn't take one step off of the mountain.

What kind of punishment is this?

What exactly has Elder Brother done?

When he said something about losing out when meeting nuns...

he was trying to save the nun. He did it out of good intention.

Even if he said you were scared of nuns, who cares?

What's the big deal about it?

It's no reason to confine him for a year.

Father.

For your daughter's sake, just let him stay there a few days.

If he had done it out of ill intent, I would have cut out his tongue.

Unjust and unreasonable. No one is convinced.

Lingshan, don't throw your childish tempers around.

It's so unreasonable!

Dear. Isn't your punishment too severe?

I have my reasons for doing so.

Don't plead any more on his behalf.

Elder Brother!

Elder Brother!

Elder Brother!

- Kill! - Elder Brother!

What's wrong with you, Elder Brother?

Say something, Elder Brother!

Kill them on sight!

Elder Brother. What's wrong with you?

Kill them on sight!

Elder Brother. Elder Brother!

You scared me, Elder Brother.

Kill?

Who do you want to kill?

Whom else can I kill?

Don't guess blindly.

Lingshan.

Mother.

Good child.

What your father has done is actually helping your elder brother.

Do not make it any worse, okay?

Confining Elder Brother in a cave. You call that helping him?

What's the difference between that and prison?

If Elder Brother feels lonely, who'll talk to him and keep him company?

During this one year, who will practice swords with me?

Lingshan.

If you were to go and talk with him, how would he reflect and repent?

Besides, there are so many brothers and sisters here.

They can all practice swords with you.

Whatever.

Everything Father says is always right anyways.

Lingshan, where are you going?

This pair of jade daggers was a token of your parent's engagement.

It has already been passed on to me, so you don't need to worry about it.

Lingshan!

Elder Brother.

Am I staying at Repentance Cliff for the rest of my life?

Just a small token of regard from everyone.

There's not even a bird at Repentance Cliff.

Where would I spend these silver taels? Take it back.

Monkey Six must be worried that I'll be lonely, so he got him to keep me company.

Bring him back as well.

The little monkey has done no wrong.

He doesn't need to be punished along with me.

Sit down.

Elder Brother.

Just focus your mind on something.

365 days in a year.

It'll pass by in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the brothers here will all miss you dearly.

It's the same with Master, and Headmistress, and Elder Sister.

Unlike me.

I'm just by myself.

Little Brother Lin. You should not think like that.

Now that you've entered Mount Hua Sect, we are all brothers and sisters.

We are all one family now, okay?

We can only do what we can and follow our fates.

Little Lin.

- Elder Sister. - Slacking off here. Go and practice.

Yes.

You being an elder sister now sure gives off an impressive aura.

- Elder Brother, are you okay? - I'm fine! Come!

Elder Brother!

Little Sister, don't cry.

Come on!

Horseback riding!

Come!

- Let's go! Ride outside! - Let the horse have a drink first.

Here!

Drink!

Great wine!

- Let's go! - The horse is drunk.

Wait for me!

Little Sister, hurry!

What's wrong? Can't walk anymore?

Elder Brother. You're playing with me everyday now.

When you go to Repentance Cliff, who'll play with me then?

My father didn't consider that. How can you sleep in a place like that?

How do you eat?

What will you do if you are feeling ill?

You love to joke all the time.

When you get there, you'll have nobody to talk to.

Won't you be bored to death?

Elder Brother, what if you miss me?

What if you want to talk to me?

Elder Brother.

If you miss me, have a look at this.

Think of it as if I were by your side.

Jade dagger!

My mother gave this to me.

She said when they were young, this was their token of engagement.

It doesn't seem appropriate to take it.

What's not appropriate about it?

She already gave it to me, anyways. I can give it to whomever I please.

What a good little sister.

Elder Brother.

Little Sister.

Up so early?

The sun is nearly over our heads.

It's only a little early for lunch.

Elder Brother.

After your trip back, you seem to have picked up heavy thoughts.

Don't be silly.

We had a fun time while away from the mountain.

What did Master Dingyi mean by that?

That from here on out, there'll be no more peaceful days on Mount Hua.

I banished Linghu Chong because I expected much more from him.

You were perhaps too impatient.

It has caused everyone to be a little confused.

Besides, you've always meant for him to be your successor.

And you'll soon pass on to him the Violet Mist Divine Skill.

Little Sister, you aren't thinking.

Mount Song headmaster, Zuo Lengchan is dangerously ambitious.

He has long been thinking of swallowing up the Five Mountain Sword Sects.

This time he has crippled the power of the South Mount Heng Sect.

His next step will be gunning for us.

Fine then.

I would like to see if he can truly conquer all of these mountains.

Is that so?

Heroine Ning is truly worthy of the name.

Braver than men.

Master! Avenge Uncle Fei!

Seek revenge on whom?

The culprit is Yue Buqun. I swear to take revenge for Uncle Fei.

Who's the culprit?

- Yue Buqun. - Get lost.

Go quickly.

What do you think, Elder Brother?

The wounds have been tampered with, but their positions can't change.

It can only be the formless Fog Mist Thirteen Stances of South Mount Heng.

So, it was South Mount Heng headmaster, Mister Mo Da?

South Mount Heng is a pesky pest.

Dying, but not yet dead.

Mount Hua Sect sword faction heir and Yue Buqun's enemy still are untraceable.

The merging of the five sects is getting farther and farther away.

Most heirs of Mount Hua Sect sword faction are dead.

The survivors have been in hiding for over 30 years.

Say no more.

I don't care what method you use or what price we pay.

I only want the sword faction heir.

Handle this matter personally.

Understood.

So long as Yue Buqun remains around, I cannot rest in peace.

Little Sister?

You're up so early. Why have you come here?

These past few days, you've come here three times now.

You must've found something big.

Nothing can be concealed from you.

Look, what do you see?

It seems like someone really has been here.

This is the only path to the back of the mountain.

I fear they're off to seek the Mount Hua sword faction heir.

It's to uncover the scars from 25 years ago between the sword and chi factions.

Is there truly someone so malicious in the martial arts world?

Only Zuo Lengchan, of Mount Song Sect.

Get lost.

Don't come back to see me without finding the heir of the sword faction.

Yes, yes.

Woodcutter?

Woodcutter?

Woodcutter!

Dang it.

On this Mount Song, there's nothing but living corpses.

Listen! I want to borrow your wine to relieve my thirst.

So, you weren't really sleeping?

Let me tell you. I am a guest of your Chief Zuo, Yu Jizhi.

I am thirsty right now.

I want to borrow your wine to drink.

Okay, have a drink then.

You jerk. Dare to play tricks with me?

Let go of me!

I'm a guest of Alliance chief Zuo!

Let go of me!

Release me now!

Let me down!

I'm a guest invited by Chief Zuo!

Elder Brother.

Yu Jizhi of Mount Tai has come at the appointed time.

He's now at the Mid-way Pavilion.

That Yu Jizhi. Is he still fond of young girls?

Yes.

Then, escort him to the Mount Song villa to rest for a few days.

Yes.

Sir, please.

So absurd.

Little Brother, is this how we receive our guests?

I was not aware of it.

I say, Chief Zuo.

You didn't invite me here for torture, did you?

There'll be something worse than torture.

Little Brother Lu, arrange for him to get some rest.

Yes. Sir, this way please.

Please.

Please.

Brother Lu, what place is this?

You'll see when you go up.

Okay.

Oh, Sir.

You've finally come!

We've missed you so much!

Brother Lu, what is this?

Brother.

Chief Zuo knows life on Mount Tai is simple.

He purposefully arranged for you to rest here a few days.

Come, Sir.

Even old Taoists can't escape the trappings of beauty.

Yu Jizhi has often thought about seizing the headmastership of Mount Tai Sect.

This time, he's willing to help the advanced masters of his class.

He's doing it to seize the headmastership of Mount Tai.

As soon as he succeeds, he will swear complete loyalty to you.

Yu Jizhi is a prime example.

If the five sects do not merge soon, the fall of Mount Tai will be imminent.

As it is now, the merging of the five sects is both reasonable and destined.

Little Brother.

The South Mount Heng Sect exists in name only. Mount Tai Sect is in my grasp.

Next is Mount Hua Sect and the nuns of North Mount Heng Sect.

Elder Brother is right.

Next is the elimination of the demonic cult and annexation of Shaolin and Wudang.

Elder Brother is the only one worthy to rule all of the martial arts world.

Little Brother.

Go to Mount Hua yourself.

Find a way to bring me the sword faction heir.

All right.

I am Big Yin Yang Hand, Lu Bai, of Mount Song.

May I ask if you're a Bu-class brother of Mount Hua Sect?

Correct, that is me.

What can I do for you?

May I ask if you are Brother Cheng or Brother Feng?

I am the only one that remains among the Bu-classed of Mount Hua Sect.

Ah, it's you, Brother Lu.

Coming out here, why not just call out to me.

I was just curious, so I took a stroll back here.

Brother Lu has come from afar.

Instead of strolling the front mountain...

you chose to brave the rough terrain of this rear mountain?

You must have something important to do.

I was just passing by Mount Hua.

I had a few drinks below the mountain.

I had a few too many, it seems.

Then suddenly, I was somehow in these mountains.

I'll take my leave now.

Brother Lu.

Since you're already here, why not just stay a few days?

I won't trouble you any further.

No doubt, he is here to look for our enemy, sword faction heir Cheng Buyou.

Chief Zuo has tried to uncover old scars between our two factions.

How vicious.

Luckily, he's been driven away.

He'll still return.

Elder Brother.

Our Mount Hua really has no peaceful days ahead?

I wonder how Linghu Chong is doing at Repentance Cliff.

Right now, Mount Hua has problems both inside and out.

It is increasingly being threatened. We're in desperate need of able men.

Amongst the Mount Hua disciples, Linghu Chong's sword skills are by far the best.

The headmastership and development of Mount Hua's martial arts...

will all depend on him in the future.

Then, call him down and pass him the Violet Mist skill.

It's not that I don't want to.

But Violet Mist skill requires an extreme level of internal strength.

But Linghu Chong.

His biggest weakness right now is his overt impulsiveness.

Passing it to him now will perhaps do more harm than good.

I put him in solitary confinement to let him master his mind and emotions.

So, you've had a plan for him all along.

Little Sister.

What I mean is, pass Lady's Nineteen Swords down to our daughter, first.

Facing an enemy, we'll have extra help.

Lingshan?

- Is she good enough? - I believe so.

Little Sister!

- Elder brother! - You've come!

Don't get up.

You need to self-reflect.

Think a little while longer and more intensely.

The sooner you finish thinking, the sooner you can come home.

The sooner you finish thinking, the sooner you can come practice with me.

Fine, I think, I think, I...

But I'm thinking of you.

What's the use of thinking for me?

Then, what should I do?

Here.

I'll think with you.

Let's reflect and repent together.

- Have you reflected? - I've reflected.

- Have you thought hard? - I've thought hard.

Hurry and tell me then.

I shouldn't collude with the demonic cult?

You didn't collude with them.

I shouldn't have delivered that qin?

Wasn't it for Uncle Liu?

I shouldn't listened to that tune?

Wasn't it the best tune in the world?

I shouldn't have tried to stop Uncle Liu from suicide.

How can you not help a dying man?

Then as you say, Little Sister, it'd be better for you to think for me.

How can I take your place? You're getting more and more confused.

If you keep this up, then you'll never understand.

And you'll never be able to leave here.

What would I do then?

Little Sister.

Don't be so hasty.

- I've got it. - No, you don't!

I really understand.

If I see demonic cult members, I will kill them immediately without question!

You're so confused! What if you kill the wrong person?

Kill the wrong person?

If that happens, then I mustn't question if it's right or wrong.

Yes or no, straight or crooked, loyal or not, ally or foe.

Vengeance or mercy, good or evil, black or white, or chaos.

Elder Brother!

I think your brain is in chaos.

Elder Brother. No more thinking.

Elder Brother. Let's stop thinking, okay?

Rest for a bit first.

Elder Brother. I brought you some good food. And good wine!

Wait a moment, okay?

Elder Brother, is it good?

Don't question whether it is delicious or stinky!

Don't tease me, Elder Brother.

Actually, without thinking so much, you'll naturally understand.

Really? Then, you should teach me.

You don't need to think of anything.

Just go along with Father's flow, then everything you do will be right.

Succeed the Headmaster and become a great hero of the world!

The one they call the Little Noble Sword, Great Hero Linghu.

Elder Brother, let me eat with you.

Have some of this.

Why are you staring at me?

Little Sister, you are so nice.

Elder Brother.

Let me tell you more good news.

Mother said she's passing me the Lady's Nineteen Swords.

No way! I don't believe it.

You're really useless!

A set of introductory stances. After three months, you still can't do it.

You sure work hard though.

Practicing day and night. It makes one mad!

Elder Sister, I will definitely master it.

Elder Sister, let's go again!

Little Lin, let's stop here for the day.

Let's head back, okay?

Little Sister.

Monkey Six? Where are you headed?

Isn't it quite obvious? I'm bringing food to Elder Brother.

I'll take it.

Stop messing around. Just have Little Lin play with you, okay?

Hold it. I'll bring food to Elder Brother.

Little Sister!
