EPISODE 8

Granny!

Granny Sun!

Granny.

- Granny. - I couldn't prevent it.

I didn't mean to kill you.

Somehow...

this sin has come upon me.

This was ruled by your fate.

May your soul...

depart in peace.

Done talking? Kill yourself, or will I do it?

What did you say?

Pay for her life under heaven.

Kill yourself, and I'll spare your men.

- Miss Long! - Such big words, Miss.

Since you fear death, I'll do it.

(gold-silk gloves)

Good fight!

Long GuGu, did he hurt you?

I'm fine.

Quanzhen kungfu deserves its reputation.

I won't fight more today.

Yang Guo, let's go.

We didn't avenge Granny Sun!

Let's go.

Granny Sun.

Granny Sun.

She already died. Why cry?

I'm sad. I have to cry.

You knew Granny Sun under a day. Why be so sad?

Though I hardly knew Granny,

she was especially nice to me.

She was like my family.

She died for me.

How couldn't I cry?

She can't see you cry. It's pointless.

Are you even human?

How can you be so cold-hearted?

Everyone dies. The day's not special.

You really have a heart of stone.

Granny Sun was killed by those bad people.

You really shed no tears?

When you finish crying, we'll inter Granny Sun.

Th-this...Granny.

Place Granny Sun in the stone coffin.

Okay.

Long GuGu. This here...

Granny Sun.

Sleep peacefully.

Long GuGu, I want a last look.

Okay?

Granny Sun, I'm leaving.

Long GuGu.

Long GuGu.

Long GuGu.

This one, and that one

belong to whom?

This is where Founder sleeps.

That's where my Teacher sleeps.

H-how about those two?

One's for Sister Li Mochou. One's mine.

Li Mochou?

That witch Li Mochou will return here?

Teacher arranged it.

I believe Sister will return.

But we're one coffin short.

One short? Who for?

You, of course.

Teacher didn't plan for you.

I don't need it.

I surely won't need it

so you needn't get one for me.

I promised Granny Sun to care for you forever.

I'll never leave here. Nor will you.

You can't be so sure.

If you don't let me leave,

I can wait till you die before I go.

And you're older than me.

You'll die first, right?

Since I'll care for you always,

I won't die before you.

Why not?

Are you sure you'll outlive me?

Before I die, I will kill you.

This...

Granny Sun gave me your care.

If you take care of me,

it's best we die together, ending our obligation.

Are you scared?

Who says I'm afraid?

Okay, let's go then.

Long GuGu.

Sleep here tonight.

Here?

Are you afraid?

No. Who says I'm afraid?

I...I've slept in all kinds of places.

Piece of cake.

That's good. Sleep early.

Long GuGu.

Don't extinguish the lights.

You fear the dark?

Who says I do?

I'm only afraid...

the dark is inconvenient.

In the night, I may knock my head.

GuGu.

GuGu.

Don't close the door.

This tomb looks amazing!

I'm rich...

I'll eat and drink the best stuff.

N-n-no! This...

Help me!

Help me!

GuGu!

Help me, GuGu.

GuGu.

Strange. Why do these items tempt others?

GuGu. You misunderstood.

I wanted to take this stuff

to swap for lights and beds and things

to decorate the Tomb.

It's unnecessary. I won't notice it.

Or I can buy you face powder,

and blush, and stuff like that.

No-one sees me in the tomb.

No. I...

Weren't you told taking without asking is stealing?

GuGu, I was wrong.

Let me off.

I won't do it again. Please, GuGu.

A mistake is a chance to do better.

This is your punishment.

You can't always be lucky.

How long will you lock me up?

When I decide, I'll tell you.

You're leaving me locked up?

Are you human?

You're like those bad Taoists.

For introspection, don't be noisy.

Don't go!

I know I'm wrong, GuGu!

GuGu.

Have you reflected?

Y-y-yes, I have.

GuGu. I was wrong.

I won't do it again. Let me out.

Okay, I'll let you out.

Let me go.

Where are you going?

I'm leaving this rundown place.

I'll take care of you for life.

Who needs you to care for me?

You really mind staying here?

I don't want to stay here.

It can't be.

I ran from bad to worse?!

Stay away. I'm still young.

'Orchid Shoots Back' stance Stay away. I'm still young.

'Orchid Shoots Back' stance

GuGu.

- Are you okay? - Fine.

GuGu.

Long GuGu, are you okay?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. It's only a scratch.

I already ran away.

Why'd you look for me?

I promised Granny Sun to care for you.

I'll keep my word.

What if that panther overpowered you?

It wouldn't matter if I'd died.

I kept my promise.

Granny Sun can rest in peace.

GuGu.

What are you doing?

Other than Uncle Guo and Foster-Dad,

no-one was good to me before now.

Who's good to you?

I saved you for Granny Sun.

I'm spanking you for not heeding me.

- See if you do this again. - GuGu!

Do you ever learn?

I just realised you're good to me.

I won't make mistakes again.

Who's good to you? It's not my concern.

I'll never love or hate anyone.

How can there be people without emotions?

I won't argue tediously.

I'll ask this. Will you join Ancient Tomb sect?

If yes, you can't leave Mount Zhongnan.

If no, I'll take you down the mountain

and you can't re-enter the Tomb.

I will join you.

Let's go.

You should make me your Teacher

- and always heed me. - Yes.

Don't agree so fast.

If I'm not your Teacher, I'll still teach you kungfu.

When you defeat me, you may leave.

Of course you're my Teacher.

If you pass only a drop of skills, I'll still heed you.

Why? If you pass only a drop of skills, I'll still heed you.

You're so good to me. Won't I heed you? If you pass only a drop of skills, I'll still heed you.

You're so good to me. Won't I heed you?

Listen. Don't mention how I treat you.

I get it.

Now I am your Teacher,

bow to our Founder.

GuGu.

Why's Founder look so young?

It was drawn before she aged.

Why aren't you bowing?

I'll kowtow.

Beside her is my Teacher's portrait. Kowtow to her.

Okay.

Okay, get up now.

Spit at that Taoist's painting.

GuGu.

Who's this? Why must I spit?

He's Quanzhen sect Founder.

Ancient Tomb has a rule.

After bowing to Founder, spit at him.

Alright, it's a good rule.

Since this is a Quanzhen Taoist,

spitting once isn't enough.

He needs more spits.

Enough.

Yang Guo.

GuGu.

Did Founder hate this damn Taoist?

Yes.

Why'd she hang his drawing?

She should've torn it up.

I don't know why.

I heard Teacher tell Granny Sun

not one good man exists.

You too.

I'll punish you if you do wrong.

GuGu, don't worry.

I'm a very good boy

but I believe, if I make a tiny mistake,

you'll forgive me, right?

You're so glib.

- Pay your Teacher respects. - GuGu, I must pay respects,

but before I do,

promise me something, or I won't.

Why would a teacher heed a student's demand?

I sincerely value you as my Teacher. I'll obey you.

But I won't call you Teacher, just GuGu.

Why?

I called that damn Taoist my Teacher.

He was bad. I curse him in dreams, so...

I'll call you GuGu, so I don't insult you.

Okay, I agree.

That's good.

Disciple Yang Guo respects Teacher Xiao Long Nu GuGu.

I will always obey Long GuGu.

I'll take care of GuGu.

If GuGu is in danger,

I'll protect GuGu to my utmost.

If someone insults GuGu, I'll kill him!

If GuGu...

Enough. Get up.

This is great.

I'm a member of Ancient Tomb sect.

I won't fear those damn Taoists.

Why are you so happy?

I can't beat Qiu ChuJi.

GuGu.

You'll teach me sincerely, so I'm happy.

Actually, learning kungfu is useless.

But there's nothing else to do here.

Guo'er, come with me.

Sleep in my room from now on.

Sleep?

GuGu.

Sleep here tonight.

Here?

No, GuGu. This is too...

You're already disobeying me?

I'll heed you.

I'll listen to you.

No, this bed is too icy.

How can I sleep here?

You won't? So many pugilists covet this bed.

Isn't this torture?

Torture?

I'm treating you well. What torture?

You're so ungrateful.

I'll sleep on it.

It's too cold...

GuGu, if I sleep on your bed,

where will you sleep?

Don't worry.

GuGu, you're amazing.

Such a thin rope to sleep on?

Teach me to sleep on a rope.

This skill is nothing.

If you sleep on that bed for a year,

you could do it.

Me? GuGu, I don't understand.

What's good about this icy bed?

It's called Chilled Jade bed.

Founder went to the north plains

and spent seven years

excavating ice to find it.

Pugilists do covet this bed. I wasn't lying.

Sleeping on it aids neigong.

One year sleeping on it equals 10 years' practice.

So this Chilled Jade Bed has benefits!

GuGu, how do I train my neigong?

This bed is extremely cold.

Circulate your chi to oppose the cold.

In time, it becomes natural.

During sleep, neigong improves.

Practice opposes natural flow

because chi and blood mix against the norm.

A normal person practising neigong still needs a few hours sleep

so chi built in the day isn't wasted during sleep.

Sleeping on this bed enhances progress.

This Chilled Jade Bed is powerful!

And there's another benefit.

What is it?

It's vital to avoid fire deviation.

This bed is the most yin and cold object.

It cools and neutralises fire in your heart.

That means faster progress than normal.

I'll teach you a method to combat the cold.

GuGu.

Don't think too much.

GuGu.

So you didn't leave my side.

Still talking? Focus. We'll train tomorrow.

GuGu.

It's so beautiful here.

Let's practise kungfu here.

Great!

It's your turn.

Me?

How can I do that?

You can do it if you focus

and move your hand fast.

Okay, let me try.

GuGu.

I caught it!

Catch another.

Catch another.

Continue.

GuGu.

I practised half an hour. Let me rest.

You're tired already? How will you do well?

GuGu.

In 2 days here, I only ate honey.

It tastes nice but we need to eat.

Eating ginseng won't work either.

You mean you want food?

GuGu.

Didn't you and Granny eat?

Since Granny died, there's no-one to cook the rice.

There's rice? No cook?

Say so sooner! I can cook!

Take me to the rice. I'm starving.

GuGu, try this.

So how is it?

It's a new taste for me. It's good.

Of course! It was easy for me.

I managed to cook well with basics.

It's a pity there are so few ingredients.

I want to cook GuGu a good meal.

My talents are wasted!

I eat light foods, not fancy meals.

GuGu.

Vegetarian meals clean your digestive system

but an all-vegetarian diet weakens you.

Our kungfu needs ascetism and calm

so I only eat vegetables.

You can't eat meat.

Yes, GuGu.

GuGu. I'll learn kungfu diligently

and cook nice vego meals to repay you.

Eat now. We'll go to Chongyang Palace.

Chongyang Palace?

No. Why are we going there?

Unless they get the bee antidote today,

that Taoist won't live.

So what if he dies.

He bullied me every day.

I'm finished. Let's go.

GuGu.

Zhao ZhiJing is bad. Let him die.

He still doesn't deserve to die.

And he was your Teacher.

He suffered enough from bee poison.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Disarm!

Why is Miss Long here today?

Guo'er. Give him this antidote.

I was never returning to this rundown place even if you sent a palanquin.

But my GuGu is very generous

and saving your pathetic life!

I reluctantly came with her.

I have two announcements.

First, I became a disciple of the undefeated Ancient Tomb Sect!

Second...

I'm the student of heavenly beauty, Xiao Long Nu!

Hear that, Zhen ZhiBing?

What's this outrage?!

I'll fight you till I die!

Teacher.

Give me the antidote.

Zhao ZhiJing. I sever my ties with you.

You're not my teacher, I'm not your student. Get it?

Give me the antidote!

Antidote?

Give me the antidote!

GuGu, see. You kindly offered it to him

and he scolded me.

You don't know good intentions!

Guo'er, don't say that.

Give him the antidote. Let's go.

Here.

Miss Long, please wait.

Teacher.

Thank you for the antidote,

but Leader is absent.

I want you to wait for Leader's return.

Why'd I wait for him?

He must clear up Yang Guo's status.

I told you clearly.

I cut ties with your Quanzhen.

Why'd we wait for Head Taoist?

Seriously. GuGu, let's go.

Stop there.

You want to leave here?

Think you can come and go?

It's not so easy.

Brother, don't.

- Damn Taoist, what are you doing? - Don't fuss.

Don't stop me.

Teacher.

Guo'er, focus energy, strike quickly.

I'll beat you...!

Teacher.

Teacher!

Teacher, how are you?

Stop them!

Little bastard!

Zhen ZhiBing. It's all your fault.

GuGu. Your teaching is marvellous!

When Zhao ZhiJing charged, I stepped on his foot.

I elbowed him and he kicked,

so I threw him aside.

I easily put him on the ground.

GuGu. How useless he looked!

You shouldn't have let him fall that way.

GuGu. You don't know how

that rotten Zhao ZhiJing

bullied and harmed me.

I just taught him a lesson.

I was easy on him. How's that wrong?

I don't mean you can't let him fall.

I mean, let him fall on his own.

If I do nothing, how can I make him fall?

Pretend I'm you now.

You're Zhao ZhiJing about to hit me.

I'll start then.

GuGu. You were amazing.

Can you teach me that?

I can teach you

but you must catch more butterflies before learning new kungfu.

GuGu, I can catch butterflies. Must I practise more?

You can catch them singly

but not catch them all at once.

Who says so? If I work hard, I can do anything.

GuGu, I'll practise now.

'Palm of Infinity Web'

Don't leave!

I got you!

He's not here practising. Where'd he go?

Never mind, it's fine. He bugs me every day.

GuGu, how'd you see me hiding?

- This is loud. - Oh right.

See how messy you are. Turn around.

GuGu, you're getting smarter.

I'm not smart. You're stupid.

You always come here.

How many butterflies did you get?

Look!

- None! - How are you so poor?

GuGu, you forgot what today is?

What's today?

I won't tell you. Think carefully.

Guo'er, where are you?

Guo'er.

Guo'er.

Guo'er...

Today marks 4 years as your disciple.

I'm alive because of you.

You're strange. You've been a worrisome kid.

I'm not a kid now!

I'm a man! I can even fly with you!

Look!
