The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2017)

Episode 41

Ying Gu is ruthless, she made use of a Buddhist story to make you lose your wugong. And also made Rong'er the scapegoat.

- I have to question her. - This problem...

isn't all her fault.

The root cause of this matter

is actually me.

- Master. It's not your fault. This... - Brother...

Uncle, what's Ying Gu's problem with you?

Yes, Great Master. Tell us so we understand the problem.

I appreciate your concern.

But no-one can help me in this.

Why's that?

It all began

at the last Mount Hua Sword Meet.

Quanzhen Sect Reverend Wang Chongyang knew about his illness, and that he has not long to live.

He worried that after he died, no one would be able to stop

Ouyang Feng from stealing the 9-Yin manual.

He brought his Junior, Zhou Botong, together

to visit me in Dali.

Wang Chongyang and I were practising our skills in seclusion.

We were teaching each other the Yiyang Finger and the XianTian skills.

Zhou Botong was naive and did not observe the proper boundaries between males and females.

While Zhou Botong was exploring my palace.

a major incident occurred.

Come out.

I've seen you.

- Your wugong is great. Teach me? - Sure.

This acupoint, if sealed, immobilises you. Believe me?

Want to try?

What's this. Hurry, unseal it.

Quickly release it.

Want it unsealed? Fine, if you call me Good Teacher.

- You! - Won't call me that?

G-good...

- Good Teacher. - Mm, good to hear.

I'll unseal it.

There's another fun acupoint

Once I hit that acupoint, you will laugh non-stop. How about trying it?

What's going on? I feel so itchy. Unseal it.

- Sure. - What's this acupoint? Quickly teach me.

Teach you? Good. I accept this good student.

Come. I'll unseal it.

To master acupoints, there are seven moves.

Come, hold. Good.

Outer Shoulder Transporter, Powerful Space,

Big Spine, Gigantic Bone.

Hold.

Because the human body has many pulses, this is...

Zhou Botong taught Concubine Liu to seal acupoints.

But for acupoint kungfu - no males should teach females, and vice versa, unless they're father/daughter,

mother/son,

or husband/wife.

Why not?

There should be boundaries between men and women.

Yet, this acupoint kungfu requires them to touch

each other.

Old Urchin is ignorant and makes trouble.

You know Zhou Botong?

Not just know. My dad confined him on Peach Blossom Isle for fifteen years. He recently left.

- Is he okay? - He's well.

Just, his nature is unchanged. He made Jing his Sworn Brother.

That's his natural character.

Uncle, you used so much energy, you're tired.

I have 9-Flower Jade Dew Pills to restore you.

During the last Mount Hua Sword Meet,

we were all exhausted.

Luckily your dad gave us some of these Pills.

This Pill is second to none.

How is it, Uncle? Okay?

Master.

- Great Master. - Uncle. - This Pill is poisoned.

Great Master, my wugong will purge poison.

How come?

Master kindly saved you. You harmed him.

Master, let us kill them.

- Don't be rash. - Master. You have been poisoned.

This poison only prevents me from using my wugong to heal myself.

but it won't hurt me.

You all stop worrying.

Master aided you

- yet you poisoned him. - We didn't.

We're very grateful. How could we?

Those Pills are yours. Who else poisoned them?

It had to be Ying Gu.

At her place, she borrowed the Pills.

She took them aside.

I think this is her deed.

No wonder she forbade me to use this Pill.

She was nice to you. Does she fear you?

She wasn't nice, just afraid if I take the poisoned pill,

Her plan to poison Uncle would be unravelled.

Seems so.

All because I sinned against her.

Ying Gu is pitiful too.

She just wants to resolve the past conflict.

I think Ying Gu is Concubine Liu.

Right, Uncle?

What?

You're Concubine Liu?

What? Afraid?

N-no.

It's not a matter of fear.

You're Emperor Duan's concubine.

If he knows, he'll be angry and punish you.

This-

I'm not scared. This Palace is like a prison.

I don't want to be a concubine. Botong, I want to flee with you.

- But where'll we go? - Anywhere's fine.

As long as I'm with you, I am not afraid.

Oh yes, one moment, Botong.

Botong, I sewed this...for you.

Emperor Duan, my junior has told me everything.

As the Quanzhen sect leader, I admit my guilt,

I have nothing more to say.

Now I've bound him, and I leave him to you.

Reverand Wang, we're martial arts practitioners.

Loyalty and honour take precedence over women.

One woman can't ruin our friendship.

- Men. - At attention. - Unbind him. - Yes.

Alright. Since the matter has reached this stage, I'll not bear grudges.

I'll make you husband and wife.

No.

Getting married- I can't.

Absolutely not.

Botong.

Emperor. I didn't know she's a Concubine or I'd not dare. I regret it.

There's a saying, a gentleman should not steal another man's lover.

I won't marry Concubine Liu, no way.

Zhou Botong, you forgot what you told me?

- You said you'd be with me forever. - I didn't forget.

At first, I didn't know you're a Concubine.

It's my fault.

Forget me.

Zhou Botong, if you love her, why not marry?

If you don't love her, why do as you did?

Dali is a small country

but you can't insult it.

Emperor Duan.

It's my fault. Kill me if you want.

Please, I won't retaliate.

How can I kill you?

You won't. You truly won't kill me?

Thank you, Emperor.

Botong, Botong...

She, a lone woman,

was first neglected by me,

then was abandoned by Zhou Botong.

She must have been

really heartbroken.

But this was not the worst. What happened later...

- when she... - Master. - Great Master.

- Great Master. - Uncle. - How are you?

Everything is based on cause and effect.

You needn't be sad.

Master, this was found at the mountain foot.

Great Master, what is it?

This is my karma.

I assume Ying Gu sent it.

I have sinned greatly.

I have to bear my sins on my own.

This old grudge

is about to be resolved soon.

"Four looms, mandarin duck pair flying"

"Pity not yet old"

"Four looms, mandarin duck pair flying"

I remember something.

On the Isle, brother Zhou once recited this verse.

Now I understand.

Ying Gu wants to learn the 5-Elements Open Gateways.

She aims to go to the Isle to save Old Urchin.

She doesn't know Old Urchin has left there.

From your story,

I know Ying Gu was unfaithful to you but I don't know why

she wants revenge on you.

From that day,

I no longe r saw Concubine Liu.

But in dreams,

I often met her.

Uncle, in your heart you still loved her, right?

- Don't be audacious. - I wasn't wrong.

Every night, I dreamed of meeting.

I could no longer hold back.

I wanted to visit her.

I don't want the maids and eunuchs to know,

so I quietly went to her quarters

to check on her.

But upon arriving,

I heard a baby crying.

In the cold wind, I stood all night.

I only left at dawn.

I later fell ill.

Concubine Liu birthed your child. Isn't that good?

I had not been with her for a very, very long time.

How could she have my child?

It's not his child. It's Zhou Botong's.

Who are you?

Son.

Son.

Emperor.

- What are you doing? - My son... - What's up?

Emperor, I beg for your mercy. Spare my son.

What's wrong with him?

Please spare my son.

You can put me to death, I will have no regrets.

But my son is innocent.

Please save my son.

Who wants you dead? How'd this child get hurt?

If it wasn't you, if it wasn't your doing,

then he can be saved.

My son can be saved.

My son can be saved.

- Tell me who's the culprit? - I don't know.

Someone entered my room, hit my son and fled.

My son cried badly.

He was hit and badly injured.

This child is gravely injured.

It was a lethal strike.

But he showed some mercy

so this child can still breathe.

Emperor, I beg you. Save my son.

I knew that in order to save the child,

I would have to expend a lot of my energy;

and in the next Mount Hua Sword Meet,

I would have no chance of winning.

And I would not be able to get the 9-Yin manual.

So I became heartless, and hesitated...

Concubine Liu begged and wept.

I finally agreed.

A child's life matters.

I will try.

Thank you, Emperor.

Concubine Liu was overjoyed.

The baby's cry twisted my heart.

I was about to start the treatment

A pair of Mandarin ducks!

Emperor.

I know I'm unworthy to live in this world.

I beg for compassion.

Trade my life for the child's.

I'll be your servant in my next life.

for you to proceed.

This is your lover's child.

You expect me to be kind enough to expend my energy to save him.

Do you still have me in your heart?

Emperor.

Please forgive me. It is all my fault.

But the child is innocent. I beg you.

- Save the boy. - Why should I?

Concubine Liu knew,

since I wouldn't help, her son would die.

And it would be a painful death.

At that time, I had hit her acupoint to immobilise her.

She could not even go to hug her son.

As a mother, she probably already knew

about the bitter sorrow about to befall her.

You...

Your hair. What happened?

Release me. I want to hold my son.

Son.

Mom has let you down.

I can't help you.

Sleep well, once asleep, you won't feel any more pain.

You needn't cry.

You-!

Emperor Duan, someday

this knife will stab your heart.

I couldn't eat or sleep for three days and nights.

Finally I knew that in life...

Fame, fortune, and love... are all superficial and fleeting.

After being enlightened by this,

I abdicated the throne to my oldest son.

I became a monk.

My 4 Disciples - they have served me for a long time.

They wouldn't leave me so they followed me here

- to lead a hard life. - Master.

This is what we're willing to do, it is not a hard life.

My heart is regretful I didn't save that child.

In the past 10 years, I couldn't find peace.

I always fear I can't redeem my great sin to mother and child.

It's irreparable.

Even if I save 1000 people,

the child is still dead.

Unless I exchange his life with my own,

this great sin can't be redeemed.

So that's why. but I feel that you are not to blame.

Why'd she involve you?

Where'd Concubine Liu go?

At that time, she left Dali

with a heart full of hate.

She sought Jianghu experts

and trained in martial arts so that she can seek revenge on me.

She once met Ouyang Feng

and he learned of her intention and aided her plan.

Ouyang Feng must have helped her with that King Shipi drawing.

Ouyang Feng is from the West.

He'd know that legend.

Ouyang Feng used Ying Gu. Ying Gu then used me.

This is all a ruthless scheme to harm you.

Although Ying Gu already had this ruthless idea long ago, her kungfu was weak, so she waited for a chance.

When I was hit by Qiu Qianren and begged her help,

she told me to approach you, but her motive was to hurt you.

Lass, you don't have to feel guilty.

Ouyang Feng set up this plan to neutralise me 10 years ago.

But in those 10 years, they had no chance to execute the plan.

till you came for healing.

It's all destiny.

I don't understand - if Ying Gu is able to use poison, why not use a lethal poison?

She must have hated Uncle too much, she wanted to kill him with her own hands.

During this time, Master secluded himself here.

Unexpectedly, you came.

Clearly Ying Gu killed her son with her own hand. Why'd she involve you?

After going down the mountain, I'll chase her off so she won't disturb you.

Yes. We'll handle Ying Gu.

I sinned against her.

Her hatred is deserved

This is karma.

Today, it is time for this grudge finally be resolved.

Jing'er.

Rong'er.

- I ask a favour. - Just tell me. I'll obey.

In future, if she encounters difficulties,

you two please help her.

Aid her.

Furthermore, if you can bring her and Zhou Botong together again,

I'll be very grateful.

In this situation, you're still so compassionate. I'm impressed.

Enough. It's time.

All of you should leave,

Leave me alone here,

I will wait for Concubine Liu.

- Master, then us? - You all leave.

Jing.

Uncle, Brother Jing has something to tell you.

Yes, Great Master.

- Great Master, sorry. - Master.

- Your martial Sister is better? - She is. Yideng healed her.

- You must thank me. - We should thank you.

But you had ulterior motives, and made use of us to harm and poison Yideng.

We regret falling for your trick. We never expected this to happen.

He's poisoned?

Senior, are you muddled? Who attacked your child?

You should look for the culprit,

- not involve Great Master Yideng. - Senior Ying Gu.

Even if you proceed, it won't do anyone any good.

This cause of this grudge cannot be explained by anyone.

I want to tell you.

My daddy released Old Urchin.

What? Your dad freed Zhou Botong?

Great. Great. So I needn't go to Peach Blossom Isle to save him.

Old Urchin listens to me.

If you want to meet him, follow me down the mountain.

At that time, you can reunite.

Think of it as my repayment.

I don't need your repayment.

At that time, Duan Zhixing wouldn't help my wounded child. That makes him the culprit, and my child's murderer.

I want to avenge my son. Quickly move aside.

If not, don't blame me for being merciless.

If you want revenge, you have to defeat me.

How dare you challenge me.

Rong'er.

acupoint immobilisation

You're asking for it.

Respects to Madam Consort.

Concubine Liu is dead. I'm Ying Gu.

I see, so you're the Dali Premier, Army General,

Chief Palace Guard and Naval Admiral.

I thought Duan Zhixing was a monk who has renounced his past life.

Yet he hides in this forest and behaves like an Emperor, enjoying life.

Emperor Duan is not in this world, only Master Yideng.

I don't care who he is. I just want to avenge my son.

Aren't you trying to stop me?

Stop pretending. Let's fight.

Consort Liu, don't blame us.

'7-Lethal Needle'

- You-! - Concubine Liu.

He got hit by my 7-Lethal Needle. Quickly help him.

Or else he won't live long.

How are you?

Duan Zhixing, even if you become a monk for a century,

and read all the sutras, you will not redeem your sins.

Duan Zhixing, I said someday,

this knife will stab your heart.

That day is here.

Duan Zhixing, die.

I killed him.

I finally got revenge.

Was it true revenge?

The real culprit wasn't Duan Zhixing.

- It was that masked man. - Amituofo.

Duan Zhixing, you-?

Didn't I kill you?

'golden cicada sheds shell' tactic

You...?

- You're weren't immobilised? - Jing, you're okay?

Hurry.

You used your inner energy to unseal your acupoints?

Master, how are you here?

Although I have lost my energy,

I am still able to release my acupoints.

I appreciate your good intentions.

But this grudge

is for me to resolve.

Hand me that knife.

Come. Give it to me.

That year, the fault was mine.

This is my karma.

Come.

Stab.

I've waited for this day.

Son.

Mom apologises to you.

Mom can't kill Duan Zhixing.

Mom had no heart to do it.

Oh Heaven.

Why?

Why punish me like this?

Come, slowly.

Thanks, Master.

Great Master, he's okay?

- After a few days, he'll get better. - That's good.

Ying Gu is very confused right now. I wonder if she can think things through, and let go of her grudge.

Amituofo (Buddha bless). Revenge punishes.

Everything is based on karma.

Yesterday I immobilised you.

Sorry for my offence.

You saved me. I will not blame you.

Uncle, what's this book? Why don't I understand the script?

This is Sanskrit.

An Indian monk who taught me how to neutralise poisons gave this medical book to me.

The book describes a skill that can treat poison.

'si li ying, ang yi na de'

- 'si re que xu, ha hu wen bo ying' - You know Sanskrit?

It's Sanskrit? I can't speak it.

Where'd you learn it?

When Big Bro Zhou taught me 9-Yin Manual, it contained some strange language.

I don't know its meaning

and didn't know it's Sanskrit. But I memorised it.

This is indeed fate.

You recite to me, and

I'll translate it.

'si li ying, ang yi na de, si re que xu, ha hu wen bo ying'

Here.

So these 9-Yin incantations had a purpose.

- It explains more. - What's it say?
