[The Deer and the Cauldron]

[Episode 13]

That's right.

Or two men holding hands is just too weird.

- Not weird now? - Not anymore.

Why none of them is Gui?

You can go now.

-You let us go? -No more talk?

No talking. Go, you just go.

Then you take your time to find him.

Run.

Stop.

Stop.

- You are so fast. - Why are you running?

- I'm scared. - Why?

- I'm scared of you. - Why so scared of me?

You are sharp.

You have a guilty look. You must know something.

I'm so young and I'm Little Bao.

How come I knew anything?

You are the eunuch in the Palace, Gui.

I'm not. How many times did I tell you? My name is Little Bao.

How about this? Let's make a bet.

What to bet on?

You can touch me.

If... if you find me really the Eunuch Gui,

you can do whatever you want to me.

But if I am not him, you kill yourself with your own knife.

But if you're afraid of the pain, I can give you a break.

You can just crash yourself into a rock and die.

Come on, don't waste my time. Touch it.

- Come on, touch it. - I... I don't want to touch it.

I have to do a thorough search for you.

What are you doing?

Shuang Er, are you okay?

What is that?

Sutra of Forty Two Chapters?

Are you Little White Dragon?

They call me...

- Wei Xiao Bao? - Official name.

Also known as Little Bao?

Pet name.

You are a rich man from the capital.

I have a little money.

Liu Yan...

is your uncle's concubine.

The status is a bit embarrassing, but it is true.

Big brother,

you've asked a lot of questions.

Can I ask you one too?

Go ahead.

You are as thin as a bamboo pole.

Why do they call you Fat Monk?

I...

Don't mention the sad things.

Fine.

When are you finish reading?

I need it back soon.

We have to hit the road.

The Sutra is mine now.

Why?

It's in my hands, so it's mine.

- Why are you so unreasonable? - So what?

Well, it seems to me you're just playing cad as we can't defeat you.

Yes, you got it right.

It belongs to whoever is the strongest.

Master, someone's coming.

Then... that monk with a stick,

can you defeat him too?

Only a monk cannot bother me.

- What about two? - Two

Two monks are nothing to me.

What about three?

Three, no big deal.

That guy looks familiar.

Indeed familiar.

Then four is enough, isn't it?

It seems like Fat Monk, the Liaodong Lord.

You've got good eyes. Check if it's him.

Yes, it's Fat Monk.

Four?

It takes efforts.

Look, there're quite a lot more behind them.

The Eighteen Arhats?

Scared?

Follow me.

Master!

- Help. Help. - Run, run fast.

- Help. - What happened?

That bad guy took away my master

and robbed our scripture.

- Hurry up. - Hurry.

- Hurry up. - Stop, let go. Don't push me forward.

- My legs are almost gone - No more crying.

Or I break your neck.

I'm so exhausted.

Fat Lord,

what do you want to let him go and give back the scripture?

It's okay to let him go,

but I can't give the scripture back anyway.

- Master... - All right, I'm okay. Don't talk.

Don't worry.

At this moment, he dares not hurt me yet.

Who told you I dare not hurt you?

Fat Monk, In the martial arts world, you can be considered a hero.

Why you're no longer you

since joining the Mystical Dragon Cult?

Stop murmuring and dawdling.

Don't push me,

or either of us lives or dies.

At worst I...I killed him and ruined the scripture.

- What can you do with me? - No, no, no, Lord, Fat Lord.

We can have a good talk.

We can settle everything.

Easy, take it easy.

Or else my head will fall off.

Look, here is the thing.

There are eight volumes of this Sutra, right?

You have only one now. What's the use of it?

Don't you want to know

the whereabouts of the rest seven?

- You know it? - Of course I...

I didn't know at first,

but the moment I entered this yard,

I suddenly knew.

Suddenly knew? What does that mean?

You... you let me go first.

Your knife is on my neck. I'm really suffering.

Let's slow down and make it clear, okay?

Fine.

You let these monks stop encircling me

and I let you go.

Does your word count?

My words always count.

Masters, why don't we

withdraw a little bit?

Withdraw.

You... you can let me go.

Say it. Where are the seven volumes?

Let's go over there and talk.

How do I know where the seven volumes are if I don't see them?

See what?

Didn't you see there's a stone monument over there?

There's an inscription in it. It tells where the eight volumes are.

Sutra of Forty Two Chapters includes eight volumes,

the first volume is in Henan,

in a temple named X in X mountain.

The words are too messy.

I can hardly recognize them.

All carved in this stone monument?

You know how to read?

You know if I don't?

Now that you can read. Do it yourself.

- I go back to rest. - I can't read. You go on.

I go on?

This second volume is

in the X nunnery in X mountain in Shanxi.

No, you can't blame me.

The wind and the sun

and all these years passed by.

A few words got blurred.

You can't recognize them, you know?

What about the third volume?

Let me see what it says.

This third volume is

in the X mountain in Sichuan.

- The fourth volume? - The fourth volume is...

The fourth volume is in Shaolin Temple,

in X Hall.

I know it.

Dharma Hall.

Yes, you... you really know it?

You can also read some words?

- Go on, continue reading. - You're so cool.

To which volume I have made up?

You've made up to the fifth volume.

The fifth, the fifth volume is...

in Wudang Mountain.

The sixth volume is...

Let me think. Where else I know?

The sixth volume is in Kongtong Mountain.

The seventh volume is in the Forbidden City.

The eighth volume is in...

The eighth volume is...

Oh, yes, it's in...

in Prince X... Xi's Mansion.

You mean the eighth volume

is in Prince Ping Xi's Mansion in Yunnan?

You know it?

Bullshit. This stone monument

is at least 500 years old if not a thousand.

How old is Wu San Gui?

How come a stone monument hundreds of years ago

has Prince Ping Xi Wu San Gui's name in it?

You're bluffing!

Long live as...

As for what?

Wait a minute. Let me see. Let me see this word.

Long live as Heaven.

What's next?

Next, let me see. Let me read it from top to bottom.

Leader

Hong

enjoys immortal joy,

long lives as the Heaven.

Yes, yes, that is what it reads.

Leader Hong long lives as Heaven?

Who is this sharp Leader Hong?

Long lives as the Heaven?

You are not lying to me, are you?

How could I lie to you?

You can see it clearly here in it.

Does it read when the monument

was established? It's...

Look, let me read it to you.

It reads, that year...

that year when Li Shi Min, the Emperor Taizong of Tang...

No, it's not right.

You said long lives as the Heaven...

I messed up the lines.

I get nervous seeing you move your knife.

- Then I won't move it. - Yes, messed up lines.

My eyes are not so good recently.

Right, it's right there. There.

Look, it reads like this.

Li Shi Min, the Emperor Taizong of Tang sent...

sent Qin Shu Bao and Cheng Yao Jin

to establish this monument.

Look.

What is it about?

It's about a military counselor

who knows a millennium up and down.

His name was Xu Mao Gong.

He predicted long ago

that in the Qing Dynasty thousands of years later,

there would be a

Leader Hong.

This Leader Hong

could enjoy the immortal joy and long lift as Heaven.

I finally made the number of words correct.

Leader Hong long lives as Heaven? Really?

Look at these last words.

Interesting.

- What does it say? - It says...

see details

on the backside.

- Back side? - More on the backside?

- Let me see. - Let's take a look.

What's behind it?

Little thing, you lied to me?

Masters, the scripture.

You've taken away the scripture.

Why not let me go now?

Really well trained. You're so cool,

worthy of your name Eighteen Arhats.

What else do you want?

Benefactor Wei, I want you to do me a favor.

You must agree, okay?

You say it first.

Agree or not, I'll decide later.

I want to invite you to Mystic Dragon Island

as a guest for a few days.

What? Mystic Dragon Island?

I've been busy lately,

not available for now.

Let me think over and when I'm free,

I'll drop a visit to Mystic Dragon Island to meet Fat Lord

and your Leader Hong.

No, no, no. You should say

Leader Hong and his subordinates Fat Monk.

In this world, he's second to none.

What about His Majesty?

Of course, His Majesty is second

to Leader Hong.

He's too overestimate himself, isn't he?

Yes, in this whole world,

Leader Hong is the only one to be respected.

Leader Hong shows grace and mercy to all.

He likes those smart guys

like you, benefactor.

Benefactor, you'll definitely harvest

in the trip to Mystic Dragon Island.

Leader Hong will reward you generously.

Needless to say.

If he's happy,

he may teach you some moves.

In the future, Benefactor,

you'd be able to override the martial arts world

and benefit all your life.

The better you describe,

the less courage I feel to go.

Since you refuse to follow me,

that's fine.

You leave.

Destiny!

It's all destiny.

This guy's nickname must be Naive.

Leave him alone. Let's leave now.

Leader Hong long lives as Heaven.

Done.

It's done.

Shuang Er, what do you think?

Is the capital lively?

- Lively. - You know what?

I'll show you around another day.

There're too many fun places in the capital.

- Really? - Thank you, Master.

Where are we going now?

Let's find somewhere to settle down.

Won't you go to the Palace to meet His Majesty?

I have to figure out the Sutra of Forty Two Chapters first.

Look.

Please come in, my guests.

- This is the hot water for you. - Put it here.

Then, call me if you need anything.

Fine, go, go.

Shuang Er.

Master.

We're in the capital now. What are you afraid of?

Shuang Er, you know what?

The more you're close to the capital, the more careful you have to be.

Empress Dowager's men come and go like shadows,

especially now when she's hooked up with Mystical Dragon Cult.

- So you... - You can't tell

if someone pops up from nowhere and kills us both.

We have to be careful about doing everything. Got it?

It's better to a good check.

Right. I should keep an eye on the owner, waiter, and guests.

Especially like the one just now

who hides things in their eyes and behaves prying.

Have you seen a young man driving a carriage?

Master, someone comes for you.

Wake up! Wake up!

Hurry up, someone's coming for you.

Someone's searching for you.

Hurry and follow me. Hurry.

Go, let's leave.

Hurry.

Go.

No, no. Why stopped? Let's move.

Master, I'll die of thirst if we keep going.

Grant me some water, please?

So you stopped at the right place, a teahouse?

- I'll go. - Okay. Thank you.

Hurry back, Shuang Er.

What happened? You want to come in for a rest? You...

What's going on?

Master!

You wake up?

Who did it?

You are?

It's me.

It's not a dream, is it?

Why are you here?

You met bad guys. Here, have some water.

He is a bad guy?

No wonder once he got in the carriage,

he smiled and came to me.

I said, "Keep away from me."

He knocked me out with a slap.

It really hurt.

Of course. Lucky you got me.

I saved you.

What about Shuang Er? Did you see her?

You got separated, but don't worry.

I've sent someone to find her.

We should be able to find her soon.

That's good.

Weren't you taken away by those of Mystic Dragon Island last time?

How... how did you get rid of them?

I kept worrying about you, but couldn't find you anywhere.

The Mystical Dragon Cult was after you.

Zhang Lao San couldn't find you, so he had to let us go.

It makes sense.

Look, do you feel the house swaying?

Because we are on a boat.

- On a boat? - Yes?

It's true. I'm...

I'm on the waves.

Where are you taking me?

What are you afraid of?

I'm going to take you to a place

without bad guys or set-ups,

but one like where gods live.

Do you really mean it?

Slow down.

Nauseating.

Why you are all right?

I'm used to it.

When do you learn to...

I'm dying.

I just can't stand it.

Swaying all the time.

What is this?

It's like a turtle head or a snake head.

What is it?

It's to fasten the boats.

It's so special.

What a good place.

Special.

Very special.

Are you okay? Not sick anymore?

Not anymore,

but I'm still a little dizzy.

Dizzy?

We all got off the boat. Why are you still feeling dizzy?

I'm a little dizzy at the earth now.

Dizzy at the earth?

You're so troublesome. Watch out.

Isn't there a decent way on this Gods' Island?

Watch out.

Got it.

What happened?

It seems something just bit me.

It can't be a snake, can it?

It's not like what you are for one got bitten by a snake.

How are you feeling now?

Pain.

And?

Numbness.

You couldn't be bitten by a snake too, could you?

How do you feel?

Pain.

And?

Numbness.

Dizzy.

- Hot. - You finally woke up.

You finally choked me up.

Where... where...

Where is the girl with me?

You mean Miss Fang?

You know her?

I don't know her. She told me that. She is fine.

That's good.

Where is she?

You're of different sexes.

So she's treated elsewhere.

Then take me to her.

I want to see her.

My Master said you're not cured yet.

After you are cured,

I will take you to her.

You... you... who is your master?

It's me.

Master Lu, he's finished the medicine.

Retire then.

Yes.

I'm Lu Gao Xuan.

May I know your good name, please?

I'm Little Bao.

Young Master Little Bao,

how are you feeling now?

I'm... fine.

All people on our island bring realgar wine along

to prevent snake bites.

It's your first time here. It's normal for you

to get bitten by a snake.

Come on.

Try to take two steps.

One,

two,

rise.

Good.

- Very good. - My feet are numb.

That's normal.

Young Master, follow me to toddle.

One,

two,

three.

Leg up. Good.

Young Master,

there are ancient scripts.

I'm too ignorant to read.

I hope that you can help me with that.

This words...

who gave it to you?

It's Fat...

From someone else

by some means and tricks.

Leader Hong enjoys immortal joy and long life as Heaven.

Great.

Young Master.

You really know the words on it.

Then I'd bother you

to put it down for me word by word, okay?

- Where is Fat Monk? - Fat Monk is...

You know it all?

I knew it long before.

Young Master,

let me help you.

Young Master.

Young Master.

You're too kind.

Leg up.

Good.

Come on, take two quick steps.

Come, sit down.

Young Master,

please.

I can't see it.

Young Master, wait me for a second.

Young Master, can you see clearly here?

Yes, it's better.

Young Master, do you want it taller?

My legs are okay now,

no longer numb.

This paper is a little crumpled.

- I smooth it for easy writing. - Okay.

Okay, smooth out.

Press down.

The height is just fine.

- Please do it faster, Young Master. - Okay.

Nothing.

Write now.

Young Master,

have you done with it?

I'm done if you're tired.

You finally finished it. It's really... tiring. My arms are sore.

Let me have a look... What did you write?

Turtles.

I see it.

Turtles of all ages.

One year old,

two years old,

three years old,

four, five, six years old...

I know it. This one is a turtle crawling.

Yes.

Young Master.

Can you please put your name down

on this turtle shell.

I can't write.

I can't write at all.

Again?

I can't read.

Then you told...

You lied to Fat Monk that you know the words on the monument?

Yes.

I'll strangle you to death.

I'll kill you, I'll kill you.

Brother Lu, Brother Lu.

What are you doing?

Benefactor Wei, are you okay?

It's you again.

Brother Lu, you said I'm rude.

You are ruder than me, okay?

You have a look at what he wrote.

What is it?

You don't know?

Let me introduce it to you.

This is one year old,

two years old, three years old,

four, five, and six years old...

I know this one.

This is seven years old one.

It's obviously one lying on his stomach, okay?

Yes.

What a mess. Don't mess up, okay?

You know what? Fat Monk,

you're getting me killed, you know?

It's a material crime to deceive the Leader.

This guy, he can't read at all.

Benefactor Wei, you really can't read?

You take out the word "really" and say it again.

You really...

He really can't read, okay?

Shame on me.

I'll strangle you to death.

Kill him, kill him.

There... there may be a way. There must be a way.

What way is it?

Not any yet.

I'll strangle you to death.

I'm thinking, all right?

We can think about it. There must be a way.

We have to think, think, all right?

I should have known this guy's talking nonsense.

But I got lost in my mind.

Trying to save myself by making contributions.

I didn't expect to die sooner.

What did you do earlier?

If it was not because of you idiot

who brought him back, for him writing to scripts,

I held it all the time, but only found a full page of turtles.

-I didn't know he can't read, okay? - You can't use your brain, can you?

- You... - I... - Idiot

Destiny.

Two brothers, please don't be sad.

You aren't dead yet, are you?

- Shut up! - Shut up.

You... you...

What do you want from me? Strangle me to death again?

- I'll strangle you... - Wait.

It seems we have to do it this way.

Brother Lu, what are you doing?

For these tadpole words you copied,

I don't think many people in this world know it.

I make up it at the right word count

and let this guy memorize and read it to the Leader.

I hope he can be happy

and we can get through this.

Brother Lu, what a great idea.

All right.

You memorize this article I wrote word by word

according to the word count in this tadpole script.

Well, then...I'd bother Master Lu to read it to me first.

Let's smooth the lines first.

In October, Year Zhenguan 02 of Tang Dynasty,

Li Jing, the Duke Wei

Cheng Zhi Jie, the Right-wing General Duke Su,

Li Ji, the Imperial Minister of State of Military Department Duke Cao,

and Qin Shu Bao, the Xuzhou Governor Duke Hu,

met at Jinxiu Peak of Wudang Mountain,

and saw red lights all over in the east sky

with big gold characters in the sky which read,

"There's an island in the east named Mystic Dragon.

Its Leader Hong got God's favor

to have everything as wishes, rich and strong,

therefore enjoys immortal joy and universal respect,

long lives as the Heaven, and rules all the creatures.

Black characters showed up in the sky,

"Sutra of Forty Two Chapters to Hong

with the first volume in Dangmo Temple, Woniu Mountain in Henan;

second in Tianxin Temple, Bijia Mountain in Shanxi;

third in Lingxiao Temple, Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan;

fourth in Shaolin Temple, Songshan in Henan;

fifth in Zhenwu Temple, Wudang Mountain in Hubei;

sixth in Kaye Temple, Kongtong Mountain in Chuanbian;

seventh in Forbidden City, Peking in Youzhou;

and eighth in Prince Ping Xi's Mansion, Kunming in Yunnan.

- Great! - Wonderful.

You're a genius. You're talkative even than me.

How about this?

You memorize and read it to the Leader, okay?

Yes.

You memorize it!

Your organization's really something.

You built up all these in mountains...

Holy cow!

What is this?

Snake.

It's the holy creature of our Mystical Dragon Cult,

also the artifact.

Let me ask you. Is it still a snake?

How dare you stare at Mrs. Leader that way?

You're committing a crime.

Look at him. He's committing an even greater crime.

Brother Lu.

Why did you hit me?

I...

Why did you hit him?

Brother Lu.

Behave yourself.

Behave.

May Leader enjoy the immortal joy and long life as Heaven.

Enjoys immortal joy and long life as Heaven.
