Episode 21

Brother Xiang, why are
they trying to kill you?

Because I am searching for someone.

Who is it?

You will know
when I find him.

Brother Xiang.

I don't care who it is
you are looking for.

I will pray for
your success.

Come, let us down this.

Okay.

Brother Xiang.

I am at my limit.

You could never
drink as much as me.

That is true.

I could never do anything
better than you.

Brother.

Surely you can handle
this amount of wine?

Left Guard Xiang.

You will never find
the man you seek.

Lieutenant Xue.

Lieutenant Xue does not
exist after tonight.

You should call me
Left Guard Xue.

Capture him!

Hey. Boy.

Have you seen
a ragged old man?

One bleeding all over.

Let's go.

Xiang Wentian.

You are completely surrounded.

To think you would
be cornered like a rat.

Xiang Wentian, you killed
two of my disciples.

You shall pay for
it with your life.

Xiang Wentian.

You've killed so many
of our brothers.

Your life is forfeit!

You want to kill me?

You worthless bunch of scum.

You've already come so far
yet are afraid to take the last step?

Come if you dare.

Bring it on!

They are from the demonic cult.

Ignore them.

Kill the demon
Xiang Wentian, first!

You still dare show
yourself in front of me?

We all serve
our own masters.

Xiang Wentian.

There sure are a lot
of men trying to kill you.

That's because I've
killed countless men.

You were fortunate
the last time.

Let's see how you
get out of this one.

Lieutenant Xue.

I'm afraid you shall
die as but a lieutenant.

Let me tell you this.

I will not be
running today.

I shall fight you all to
the death here and now.

Which one of you
wants to die first?

This man shares
a similar fate as I do.

Xiang Wentian.

Since you will fight to the death
I shall oblige you!

Xiang Wentian.

You've killed countless brothers
of our orthodox sects.

You must die at our hands!

I did not think I
could be so popular.

I don't care who or
where you are from.

Come at me together
if you have the guts.

Hold up!

Who are you?

Greetings, elder.

Ganging up on one person with so many
isn't that a little shameful?

Elder.

Allow me to have a sip.

Who might you be?

Just a passerby.

Elder, this is some good wine.

It is most satisfying.

Kid.

If you are done here
hurry and get lost.

That won't do.

I've drank some of your wine
so we are already friends.

If you have a problem
I must help out.

Why do they all want to kill you?

You're done drinking
so be on your way.

Don't stay here
just to seek death.

To seek death...

That's right.

I have come to seek death.

You shameless scumbags.

Come and fight me
first if you dare to.

How can you bully
an injured old man?

Kid, who are you really?

Me?

A person meant
for death.

Isn't he Linghu Chong
of Mount Hua Sect?

Yes, that's right.

He is now an expelled
disciple of Mount Hua.

That's correct.

I am Linghu Chong.

Taking advantage
of others like this.

How can you call yourselves
heroes or warriors?

Linghu Chong, you have
no right to speak here.

Get lost!

This does not concern you.

Get out of here.
Don't get caught up in this!

Elder.

I insist on getting
caught up in this.

Charge!

Here I come!

Kid!

You are pretty good
with your sword!

Aside from my sword
I have nothing else!

Elder, show some mercy.

Nonsense.
Even if I do, they will not.

What are you doing?

Elder, please do it
for my sake.

Elder.

Elder.

Young Brother.

You've woken up.

Elder, sorry I
caused you trouble.

Don't get up.

What talk is that?

You do not fear death
so why should I?

I wasn't planning to
get out of there alive.

But I couldn't just watch you
die at the hands of those scum.

Elder.

If it wasn't for me holding you back
you probably could have killed them all!

Your words are
frank and modest.

I like it!

Young Brother.

Your swordplay is spectacular!

But your internal
strength is severely lacking.

We didn't fight for that long
and you were already exhausted.

It's not just lacking.

I basically have no
internal strength at all.

You are really Linghu Chong?

I am.

Who are you, elder?

What?

You lent me a hand in battle
and don't even know who I am?

Let me tell you frankly.

I am from the holy cult.

Holy cult?

Then that means you were
fighting amongst yourselves?

Then, I guess I was
just too meddlesome.

Then...

May I ask you
about someone?

Who is it?

There's a girl named
Yingying in the cult.

Yingying?

She's known as Sacred Lady
in the martial arts world.

Do you know of her, elder?

Of course I know
the Sacred Lady.

Where is she now?

What do you want with her?

Nothing really.
I...

I'm supposed to help
her find her father.

You want to help
her find her Father?

That's right.

However, I got injured right afterward
and got separated from her.

I haven't seen her since.

Do you know who her father is?

I do not.

Brother.

You are making
me so fond of you!

Elder.

Stop with the elder thing.

Call me Brother Xiang
from now on.

I will call you
little Brother.

How can that be?

Why not?

We've already fought
a battle together.

Or else, let's go
for another round.

I wouldn't dare
to fight you.

When you use some force
even the pavilion was blown away!

There's no way I
can take such a hit.

Brother.

Big Brother Xiang.

Please accept my
show of respect.

Brother, please stand up.

Good Brother!

- Big Brother Xiang!
- Good Brother!

Brother, did you know?

You are my only sworn Brother
in this entire world.

Then I am truly honored!

Brother.

Come, have a seat!

Good Brother!

Here!

After you, Brother Xiang.

All right!

Go ahead, Brother!

Thanks!

Good Brother.

You are so young
yet your injury...

This injury of mine
has no cure.

Elder Ping, the Famed Killer Physician
has seen it.

Master Monk Fangzheng of
Shaolin Temple has also seen it.

There's nothing
that can be done.

There might be
someone that can.

Who is it?

I'll take you to see
him tomorrow, Brother.

Okay!

What are you laughing
about, little Brother?

Big Brother Xiang.

I'm laughing that your outfit makes you
look like a sly merchant from the west.

While I look like a
son of a wealthy family.

Where are we going
in these outfits?

Didn't we already decide?

We will be doing
what I say today.

Also, no asking why!

I shall obey!

We're here.

This place is quite elegant.

[Plum Manor]

- Come.
- Okay.

What can I do for you two?

We're disciples of
Mount Song and Mount Hua.

We wish to see the Masters of this manor
the Four Friends of River South.

The Masters of this manor
do not receive guests.

Please wait.

Please pass this on
to your Fourth Master.

Brother Xiang.

Brother Xiang?

We're perfectly fine
why are we...

Why are we pretending to
be from Mount Song Sect?

In my view...

there's something weird
about this doorkeeper.

His name is Ding Jian.

He's known as the Flash Sword.

Back in the day at the base of Mount Qilian
he killed four fighters with one hand

and defeated two
warriors in a single strike.

Who lives here in
this Plum Manor?

Even the doorkeeper
is so powerful.

Gentlemen, please come in.

Fourth Master.

The two guests are here.

The two of you are?

I am Tong Huajing
of Mount Song Sect.

This is Feng Erzhong
of Mount Hua Sect.

Greetings, Fourth Master.

How may I help you two?

I have a few small things here.

I would like the four Masters
to appraise it for me.

Ding Jian. Go and fetch
second and third brother here.

Understood.

Fourth Master.

This painting is 'Journey to Mount Xi'
by Fan Zhongli of the North Song Dynasty.

Can you check if it is authentic?

There is also a
calligraphy work here.

'Epitaph of Command' by
Zhang Xu of Tang Dynasty.

Third Brother.

The treasures of your
livelihood are here.

There is also a
chess notation here.

Although only twelve
games are recorded

they are of legendary games
played in ancient times.

Including the match of immortals
seen by Wang Zileh at Lanke Mountain.

The chess match played by Liu Zhongfu
against the immortal of Li Mountain.

Also, match of the Fox Fairy Mother
and Daughter-in-law, seen by Wang Jixing.

Such a chess notation
book truly exist!

Second Master
what do you think?

I also have a music
score here that

I wanted the
eldest Master to have a look

'Guangling Verse.'

Where is the eldest Master?

Our elder Brother
never leaves his room.

If you want to have him look it over
I can bring it to him for you.

Gentlemen.

Why exactly have you brought these
things here to Plum Manor?

Don't worry, Second Master.

Brother Feng and I have come to
Plum Manor for nothing but a gamble.

Everybody knows the four masters of
Plum Manor are elite martial artists.

However, your swordplay
is not so good.

I am willing to bet
that nobody here at

Plum Manor can beat my
Brother Feng at swordplay.

If anybody here can beat
my Brother at swordplay

then I will leave this
package of mine here.

If nobody can beat him
then we will simply be on our way.

Brother Tong, are you serious?

I will not go back
on my word.

All right!

Wait.

We cannot make this decision.

We will have to ask
our big Brother.

If the elder master does not agree
then we will simply be on our way then.

Hold on!

Second Brother
please go ask him.

Brother Tong.

May I borrow your
'Guangling Verse?'

Let him have it.

Of course you can.

Brother Tong.

This calligraphy
drawing is very lively.

I kind of like it.

It's as if there's a
swordplay hidden within it.

Brother Feng.

So you also
understand calligraphy?

To be able to sense the swordplay
within the calligraphy of my Third Brother.

Spectacular!

- Ding Jian.
- Present.

Bring my pear blossom wine
and jade cup here.

Yes.

Right!
Very reasonable!

Zu Qian...

Ancient men have said

'Red tea with woven silk
boasts persimmon leaves.'

'For wine, take advantage
of pear blossoms.'

Pear blossom wine should
be drank with jade cups.

Fourth Master is truly
an expert of wine.

Brother Feng also
knows wine as well?

Just a little bit.

A good worthy friend!

Brother Feng.

They call me the Three Aces
of Sword, Paint and Wine.

Actually, wine comes
first for me.

Second is paintings.

While my sword
is ranked last.

I understand now!

The elder Master
must love the qin.

The Second Master loves chess.

The Third Master loves calligraphy.

So the Fourth Master
surely is into paintings!

That is only natural.

We each have our own love
of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

That's why we're called
the Four Friends of River South.

Brother Feng.

Let me take you to
visit our wine cellar.

Okay!

Second Brother.

- Has elder Brother agreed?
- Elder Brother has given his permission.

Fourth Master the wine is here.

- Ding Jian.
- Present.

- Bring the sword.
- Yes.

Brother Feng.

Let us compete in swordplay before
we savor the wine, what do you say?

All right!

But we have time
for a taste first, right?

Catch.

Fourth Brother.

What's the rush?

Brother Tong has said
anyone in Plum Manor will do.

Isn't Ding Jian also a warrior?

He can use a sword.

Let him try it first.

That is only natural.

Anyone in Plum Manor will do.

We are only competing
in swordplay.

There'll be no need to compete
in internal strength.

I shall try out
Master Feng's swordplay.

All right!

Fourth Master.

Regardless of who wins after the fight
let us continue on with our drinking.

Of course.

Brother Feng.

Do not use internal
strength to seize victory.

The Violet Mist strength
of your Mount Hua Sect

is far stronger than the internal
strength of our Mount Song Sect.

How about this.

Stand in between
these footprints of mine

and try your swordplay against
Brother Ding, what do you say?

Brother Ding, please.

Brother Ding
thanks for the match.

You are worthless.

Go to Tulufan and transport wine.

Yes sir.

Brother Feng.

You spared Ding Jian's hands.

For this kindness
a toast to you.

My gratitude, Fourth Master.

Brother Feng
make the first move.

All right then!

Brother Feng.

Your swordplay is
truly magnificent.

I, Dan Qingsheng
candidly admit defeat.

Not at all.

Your swordplay has
a poetic form to it.

You have my admiration.

Now that you've tried his skills
I would ask that you try mine now.

This form of mine is derived
from General Pei of Yan.

Please appraise it
Brother Feng.

All right, I shall accept.

General Pei.

A great king conquers the world.

A brave general clears the fields.

A warhorse is as a
dragon and tiger.

Soaring above...

Soaring above the battlefield!

My respects.

Great!

Brother Feng.

Your sword skill is truly
top in the world.

Not necessarily.

Brother Feng.

How about a game of chess?

But I don't know how to play chess.

Oh?
I can teach you.

Second Master.

This chess match is a draw.

Second Master
let us call it a draw.

Brother Tong, it's still
too early to be happy.

There is still
our elder Brother.

Brother Feng, come with me.

Fourth Master, perhaps
we should call it quits.

How about we all have a few...

That is not acceptable.

You must meet with
our elder Brother.

I guess we have no choice.

This way, please.

So be it.

Accommodate Brother Tong.

Understood.

What is it?

None of you could handle it?

Elder Brother.

His skills are truly extraordinary.

None of us were a match for him.

So, we have come to seek your help.

Brother Feng, please come in.

I am Feng Erzhong.

My respects to
the eldest Master.

It's because the three
Masters went easy on me

that I was lucky enough to get by.

In this 'Guangling Verse'

there is much I do not understand
so I hoped you would explain it to me.

My apologies, elder.

I have but a passing
knowledge of music.

Anything that elder does not understand
would be utterly impossible for me.

But if elder is so fond
of this music score

I can try persuading Brother Tong
to leave it here for you to study.

I dare not make such a request.

Since Mister Tong has
already set the condition

I wouldn't dare to dishonor it.

It's just that I only have
flute and qin here

but no swords or weapons.

If I were to play the qin
while you play the flute

we could compete.

Well...

Brother Feng, if you don't compete
we would have lost for no reason.

Fine then.

If that's how it is
I can only give it a try.

But I hope that you will
show me some mercy.

How is it?

Oh no!
It's the Formless Seven Chord Sword.

I forgot to tell elder Brother that
he can't use his internal strength.

Brother Tong.

What do you think?

It's all right.

He who knows not has no blame.

That's not good!

Elder Brother.

Elder Brother.

Elder.

The four of us have
retreated here.

For over ten years, we have kept
clear of matters of the martial arts world.

Now, we are nothing
but frogs in a well.

Elder Master, don't be sad.

It's because I'm injured
and lost all my internal strength

that I couldn't sense
the energy flow from your lute.

It's not because you...

If you don't believe me
you can see for yourself.

The Yangtze river flows
on wave by wave.

A new generation has risen
in the martial arts world.

Young hero Feng is open and sincere
with sword skills that surpasses all.

I have the utmost
admiration for you.

I'll go talk with brother Tong and convince
him to leave the things behind.

Please wait for me.

Brother Xiang.
Brother Linghu.

You sure are good.

Brother Xiang. I think we should
just leave these for them.

What for?
They didn't beat you.

It wasn't a glorious way to win.

A loss is a loss
and a win is a win, right?

Fourth Master.

Please return the
'Guangling Verse' to us.

This 'Guangling Verse...'

Then, we'll just be on our way.

Fourth Master, I...

Farewell.

Please.

- Farewell.
- Farewell.

Big Brother.

You have something against them?

Not at all.

So why do you torture them so?

Did you see how sad they were?

Brother.

They aren't even your friends.

You don't have
to worry for them.

Doesn't mean we
had to tease them so.

These four masters are all more
skilled in martial arts than you and I.

Why would I dare
to tease them?

Then why did you show
them these treasures

and then take everything
and leave afterward?

Don't worry.

They will come for us again.

Brother Feng, please wait.

Fourth Master.

Brother Feng.

You must drink this glass
of wine before you go.

All right!

Oh that's right.

Fourth Master.

Is there something else you want?

I want to invite you two
back into Plum Manor.

You've used so much energy
and we didn't even offer you a meal.

It's unbecoming of us
Four Friends of River South.

In the end it is still for
these things, isn't it?

Brother Feng, the truth
is there is still another

here in Plum Manor who
can compete with you.

There is another?

Just give it up
Fourth Master.

You don't have to rack your
brain to fool us back inside.

Who else inside the Plum Manor
can be better than the Four Masters?

Brother Feng, let us go.

Wait!

It is true.

My brothers are
discussing it right now.

They should have made a
decision when we return.

Brother Tong.
We can't refuse their hospitality.

Fine then.

Please.

Please come in.
