[Episode 17]

Brother Yuan Tong, please take a good care of me.

Brother Hui Ke, please.

Siping Fist?

Even kids who just started learning martial arts know this.

Hui Ke is underestimating

Brother Yuan Tong.

Maybe Hui Ke don't know martial arts at all.

Hui Ke actually defended

Yuan Tong's superb fists

with the unremarkable Siping Fist.

Defied Shaolin?

This is a kind of fist which has the most profound changes

among Shaolin's 13 kinds of fist.

You've learned something today.

To produce a great impact...

It's not easy to reach this standard.

Hui Ke actually made the easiest fist skill

to perfection.

Dharma Sword?

I didn't expect Brother Yuan Tong to use this skill.

Amitabha.

If you have an obsession, you will fall.

Why should you ask for a victory when you're trying to find your root?

Amitabha.

Amitabha.

Hui Ke, follow me.

Amitabha.

Sir, welcome in.

As expected.

Brother Dong Fang is still unwilling to leave this place.

I heard that you didn't do well in the challenge.

You were defeated by the monks in Shaolin Temple?

Since you can't go to Shaolin Temple,

what's your plan now?

I have no plan.

I'm here to tell you.

Lan Yu Jing didn't die.

He's with Hui Ke now.

So what?

I shall wait for him to leave the mountain here then.

This is not the only path to leave the mountain.

You won't get anything if you wait here.

I know a shortcut.

It leads to the back mountain of Shaolin Temple.

Are you willing to hike the mountain with me to find him?

I lost to Shaolin's monks.

I'm embarrassed to go again.

You mean...

You don't want Wudang Sect's Swordsmanship Scripture anymore?

You don't want to go to Shaolin Temple

to see how your Brother Yu Jing

is doing now?

Hui Ke, where did you come from

before you enter Shaolin Temple?

I came from nowhere.

How was it when you first came?

The mountain and temple were just as they were.

What about later?

Then, I viewed them differently.

What about now?

They are just as they were.

Master.

If they are as if they were when you came,

why should you be obsessed on one aspect?

Leader.

I still have bond to this world. I have yet redeem my sin.

There's no such thing.

The world is the paradise.

Why is there a sin?

I'm not well cultivated. I still don't get it.

I'll calm myself down and cut off my bond with this world.

Master Hui Ke.

You're obsessed with getting rid of your bond to this world.

Won't it be harder to get rid of it?

You're right.

If you have Buddha in your mind, you don't have to constrain yourself here.

Us, being born in this world, should take care of ourselves and help the world.

Your paradise is where your heart goes.

You can cultivate yourself in the martial arts world too.

You can learn Buddhism in the secular world too.

If you still have something unsettled in your life,

why don't you just let it be?

What do you think?

I understand.

Master Hui Ke, you agree to it?

Pack your baggage quickly.

I've arranged people at Luohan Hall

to send you out.

Master, it's fine. You don't have to send us out.

This is a rule of Shaolin.

Follow me.

Master Yuan Tong, you've worked hard.

Amitabha.

Seems like I still have an assessment left.

Not you.

It's for this little benefactor.

It's my honor to practice my skills with you, Master.

Good boy.

A young man has nothing to fear of!

Come on!

Be aware!

Again!

To produce a great impact...

It's not easy to reach this standard...

Hui Ke actually made the easiest fist skill

to perfection.

That's all.

Thank you for showing mercy.

You're indeed quick-witted.

You only saw a fight of me and Hui Ke.

And you're able to blend the great impact of Siping Fist

into your swordsmanship.

Not bad.

Just like martial arts and swordsmanship.

Most of the matters in this world are almost the same.

Thank you for your advice.

Please enter.

Thank you, Brother.

Yu Jing.

That eminent monk above is Abbot Kuchan.

Is he the well-known abbot of Shaolin?

Yes.

Go!

Greetings, Abbot Kuchan.

Seems like you've passed Yuan Tong's assessment.

Come.

If you can withstand my power for ten counts,

you pass my assessment.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

You only defended but didn't attack.

You're mischievous.

One.

Your skill was like handling a flower.

It was soft and slow.

The softness can overcome rigidity.

Of course

I must not use my rigid fist skills to fight.

Two.

To withstand your power for ten counts...

Looking at my capabilities,

it's impossible to defeat you.

So I should defend instead.

You're right.

If you're eager to win,

that will be your obsession.

Because you didn't care about your victory.

You survived in this round.

Good indeed.

Thank you, Abbot.

You're smart.

And you're fated to our temple.

Come.

I'll help you with your trip.

How do you feel?

It feels smooth everywhere in my body.

Seems like the heat is flowing in my chest.

Seems like you've gained more internal force.

Good indeed.

Amitabha.

Thank you, Abbot.

There is where Grand Master Dharma meditates.

Let's go!

Alright.

Master Hui Ke.

Why is Master Ben Wu sitting here?

Do I need pass his assessment too?

Greetings, Leader.

Greetings, Master Ben Wu.

Yu Jing, if you're leaving the mountain,

you need to sit on this futon.

No.

Leader.

Futon belongs to the masters.

Yu Jing is...

He doesn't deserve this.

Hui Ke, you've been in this temple for many years.

Why are you still distinguishing between you and me?

You should know that Buddhism emphasizes on equality.

All the four elements are void.

As long as you have the Buddha in your mind,

nothing is necessary.

Amitabha.

Yu Jing. Hold it tight.

Say "Amitabha" in your heart.

Then move the prayer beads once with your finger.

I'll do the same too.

When the prayer beads...

When yours moves up and mine moves down,

you're done with your assessment today.

Is Master Ben Wu teaching me seated meditation?

Never have improper thought.

Is Master Ben Wu testing my internal force?

If I lose,

will I not be able to leave Shaolin temple?

Master Ben Wu is teaching me seated meditation,

but I thought it was a test on my internal force.

The abbot has just said,

"Having victory in mind

is an obsession."

Yes. I need to get rid of my obsession.

The mindset of Wudang Sect relates to meditation.

If Yu Jing can get rid of his worry about losing,

his internal force

will be exerted naturally.

Spread the void. There is no obstacle now.

If you manage to sit on this futon, you may leave the mountain.

I've tested your martial arts skills

on behalf of Master Wuxiang.

Seems like he may rest in peace now.

Master.

I feel that my meridians are all opened up.

I feel more relaxed now.

Great!

We entered Shaolin secretly.

This is rude.

Brother, stop nagging about this.

Let's go quickly!

Someone's here.

Benefactor.

Let's go!

Shaolin Temple is so big.

Where can we find Yu Jing?

Isn't it obvious?

Normally, a guest of a temple stays at the guests' hall.

Follow me.

Thank you, Master Ben Wu.

Qiao Er?

Grandpa Zheng!

Why are you here?

We were here with Master Ben Wu.

I've seen your performance.

You improved a lot, Little Monkey.

I didn't expect that

you're this smart.

Jing has grown up. Don't simply call him with nicknames.

Yes.

He's still a little monkey even he has grown up.

Little Monkey!

From now onwards,

please call me Geng Yu Jing.

Geng Yu Jing.

Grandpa Zheng, how do I look?

Not bad.

Thanks to the lessons by the eminent monks in Shaolin,

you've improved a lot.

Yu Jing.

You've healed from the poison of the red pills.

You've completed your tasks assigned by Master Wuxiang as well.

Amitabha.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master.

Master, we shall leave first.

Jing.

Here you go.

This letter is sent by a man called Guo Pu,

to your father, Geng Jing Shi.

If you manage to find Guo Pu,

he will tell you

about your parent's situations in the region to the east of the Liao River.

Where is Guo Pu now?

I have no news about him.

I've tried to get his news in the capital for many times.

I found nothing.

No one know where he went.

Jing.

Take this.

This...

Leader Wuxiang passed me this.

Now, I'll pass it to you.

It's for me?

Leader Wuxiang said,

"I must pass this item,

to the future real successor of Wudang Sect."

He hope that you may take the responsibility and recover Wudang Sect.

But...

Seems like my grandfather is admiring you.

You're the successor of Wudang Sect!

Thank you for your appreciation, Senior Zheng.

But... But I didn't contribute.

I don't deserve to keep this heirloom.

You're the successor of Wudang Sect who I've decided on.

This... What is this black iron rod?

This No-blade Ancient Sword

is a token of the leader of Wudang Sect.

Don't you think that it's ugly.

It's actually a rare treasure.

It doesn't even have a blade.

How is it a treasured sword?

Keep it nicely.

You'll find out

when you use it one day.

Jing.

Look.

This is a book about Taiyi Xuanmen Swordsmanship.

Wuji Power Mindset and it are both

the top skills in Wudang Sect.

[Taiyi Xuanmen Swordsmanship] But the first book Wuji Power has disappeared.

Everyone thought this secret scripture of Wudang Sect

would be lost.

Who knew? By a coincidence,

you entered the cave of Grand Master San Feng

and learned all the secret martial arts.

What a coincidence.

We have a successor for these secret scriptures now.

Just because of this.

Yu Jing has to be the successor of Wudang Sect.

You're right.

Wu Niang.

Geng Yu Jing didn't die.

And learned from the eminent monks of Shaolin.

His martial arts have improved a lot now.

This kid is blessed.

What a blessing in disguise.

But I wonder

why Zheng Tie Gang came too.

Isn't that easy to find out?

Let's go and have a look.

Go!

Now,

I finally understand the motive of my grand master.

Grandpa Zheng.

I was immature back then.

I didn't know I was blessed.

You must have worried.

Heroes grow from trainings.

You're still young.

You still can do many things next time.

I'll do what I should do.

Don't worry.

The happenings in the past few days...

I must say they're the God's will.

You've passed the assessments by Shaolin's eminent monks.

I'll be at ease on my trip.

Grandpa! Aren't you following us to Mount Kunlun?

I'll not follow you.

Grandpa, why?

There are wars at the borders now.

I must leave,

towards the region to the east of the Liao River, to help the Ming's army.

The trip is dangerous.

I shall not bring Qiao Er with me.

I shall leave Qiao Er to you.

Qiao Er.

Don't forget

about our promise.

Alright, Grandpa.

You've said that for many times.

You're annoying.

Your grandfather is old.

I always repeat myself.

But, you must remember!

Assist Jing.

Of course.

I'm his lucky charm!

Yes.

I can help him a lot.

Yes.

Right?

Qiao Er is a heroine who's well-known in the Nine Regions.

Miss Zheng is so bold.

She must work well with Yu Jing.

Master Hui Ke.

I'll leave the kids to you then.

Amitabha.

I'll leave then.

Goodbye!

Grandpa! Take care of yourself!

Quickly come back to see me!

Grandpa! Take care!

Enough. Follow me.

I didn't expect this.

Zheng Tie Gang, this old beggar

was actually hiding here all the time.

We ran for nothing.

Mou Cang Lang asked for the secret scriptures.

They're none of our business.

Now, I'm worried that

if that kid follow Hui Ke to Mount Kunlun,

he will soon find the Seven Stars Swordsman.

I'm afraid that the adults' identities will be revealed then.

According to you,

this is urgent.

Why aren't you going back now to write a letter to the official?

I'll follow them

and go to Mount Kunlun. What do you think?

Wu Niang.

Are you planning to take this chance

to inform that kid?

Do you mean that you don't believe me?

Alright.

Let's move together then.

I believe you.

Why would I not believe you?

But I need to remind you.

Don't you start missing Bu Qi

after seeing that kid.

Else, you'll be distracted

and mess up our task.

Enough. I understand.

Why do you nag more than a lady?

Let's go and come back quickly.

Alright. It's all up to you.

Master Hui Ke.

Can we really find

Seven Stars Swordsman, Guo Dong Lai, in Mount Kunlun?

Hopefully.

The leader of Kunlun Sect, Lady Xi Men

is a good friend of Seven Stars Swordsman, Guo Dong Lai.

Before Guo Dong Lai retired,

he last appeared at

Kunlun Palace on Mount Kunlun.

I heard that

he left after passing the Seven Stars Sword

that he cherished the most to Lady Xi Men.

So once we find Lady Xi Men,

everything will be easy.

That's great.

But,

it's been a long time since Lady Xi Men was involved in the martial arts world.

She refuses to meet her guests for many years.

Refuse to meet her guests?

Won't we go for nothing then?

Even so, we need to go.

Even if she's not involved

in the martial arts world now,

as I'm an old friend of her,

she might take it easy on us

and tell us some clue.

Thank you, Master.

They trespassed Shaolin! Arrest them!

Stand there! Don't run!

What's wrong?

How did they realize?

I've challenged Shaolin two times.

They recognize me.

Stand there! Don't run!

There they are! Hurry up!

Stand there!

Someone's causing a trouble.

Let's go!

Stand there!

How dare you?

Take my sword!

Stop hitting him, Yu Jing.

You can't be rude at Shaolin.

Brother Dong Fang?

Brother Dong Fang!

Why... Why are you here?

Geng Yu Jing.

I've been searching for you.

How dare you treat me like this?

Not bad.

I... I'm sorry.

I didn't see clearly just now.

Out of instinct, I...

Brothers.

Brothers. It was a misunderstanding.

Brother, this man has trespassed Shaolin many times.

We suspect that he's a spy.

What a nonsense!

You've misunderstood.

Masters.

Brother Dong Fang is my brother.

Brothers.

These benefactors are friends of Leader Ben Wu.

We are family.

You've misunderstood.

Let's go back!

Brothers! Go back!

Yu Jing.

Didn't you die when you fell off the cliff?

Why did your martial arts

improve so much suddenly?

It's all thanks to

the eminent monks in Shaolin.

I would say I was lucky.

Brother Dong Fang.

It would be great if you're here early.

You could have a look at

how the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple

taught Yu Jing martial arts.

Oh right! Let me introduce you

Master Hui Ke.

He's a hidden master.

We can practice our skills with him next time.

Amitabha.

No wonder.

Goodbye!

Brother Dong Fang!

Brother Dong Fang!

Why is he angry?

Think about it.

You were brothers.

But you learned martial arts by yourself.

He's certainly unhappy.

I wondered why he's angry.

But you're not wrong as well.

We can explain it

when we see Brother Dong Fang again.

Amitabha.

Fate comes and goes. Fate gathers and scatters.

Let the fate decides on this.

Brother Dong Fang!

How was it? Am I right?

Yu Jing

didn't treat you as a friend at all.

Don't go!

Brother Dong Fang, listen to me.

If I didn't remind you,

you would still be bluffed by that kid.

Calm down.

You never expect Yu Jing's

encounter in Shaolin Temple.

What does his encounter have to do with me?

You're right.

Let's go!

We shall drink together!

Grilled chicken!

Oh my god!

It's still not done yet.

Wait!

It's hot!

Wait for a while.

Why is it not done yet?

It will be nicer if you grill it longer.

Hurry up!

Yu Jing.

You can't rush for success.

Yes.

But...

But your obsession with this grilled chicken

is just like your friend.

You mean Brother Dong Fang?

I was planning to look for him.

I can't leave without bidding farewell after all.

Benefactor Dong Fang is really kind.

Although he's too obsessed with swordsmanship,

his flaws can't conceal his strengths.

The grilled chicken is done.

It's done?

Come. Help me.

How is it?

Thank...

Master Hui Ke.

A monk can't eat meat.

The Buddha will be unhappy.

Didn't Master Hui Ke secularize?

Yes.

Since I follow you down the mountain,

I have secularized.

I... I have secularized.

Miss Qiao Er, I have secularized.

I think he can eat it once he's secularized.

How is it?

Is it delicious?

I've traveled the Three Realms to learn Buddhism.

And I only miss the delicacies in the secular world.

Never ask for more.

Never ask for more?

Since we should never ask for more,

we should prepare

vegetarian food next time.

You're right.

You! Kid!

I meant we can't ask for more taste in this.

How dare you laugh at me?

It's tasty!

It's nice!

Have one more piece of it.

There's more?

Yu Jing. Qiao Er.

I'm back in the martial arts world now.

Why don't I tell you

some affair before I became a monk?

That's great!

Yes! We would like to hear about them.

Come. Sit here.

Have you heard about the well-known

Five Younger Gallants

in the martial arts world many years ago?

No.

No.

Right...

It's been so many years.

Some of them are dead. Some of them are lost.

Some of them became monks.

People might forget about them.

So Five Younger Gallants is...

The leader in Five Younger Gallants

is Seven Stars Swordsman, Guo Dong Lai.

The second man is Thunder Palm, Wang Hui Wen.

Although he's the second man,

he's the eldest.

Wang Hui Wen didn't really use a weapon.

He could kill a man with his bare hands.

He was the first to be well-known.

But he was also the first to retire from the martial arts world.

Why did the honorable hero retire so early?

I'm not very sure.

I only know that

when the Five Younger Gallants

were very well-known,

Wang Hui Wen suddenly announced his retirement.

So, many people

don't treat him as a member of the Five Younger Gallants.

They replace him with another man.

Master Hui Ke.

Why do you know so many about

the Five Younger Gallants?

Brother Dong Fang, cheers!

Here.

Boss!

One more please!

Alright!

I never expect

Yu Jing would get treated so well

Enjoy.

in Shaolin Temple,

He never inform me.

I was worried about him.

And I was abused by the monks in Shaolin temple.

He was not only treated well.

Do you know what he gained in Shaolin Temple?

What?

When he hurt you in front of the mountain,

didn't you feel the changes in him?

Seems like his martial arts have improved a lot.

He's more agile than before too.

I heard that

Master Ben Wu, an eminent monk in Shaolin Temple,

is a good friend of Wuxiang.

So Ben Wu helped

Yu Jing a lot.

He didn't only teach Yu Jing about

the secret internal force of Shaolin,

he also helped to open his meridians up personally.

So...

Geng Yu Jing now

isn't the silly Tujia boy

below Mount Wudang anymore.
