My sword

Where is it from?

Love and hate, two sides of a coin

My blade

Cuts across the sky

Right and wrong, do you understand?

I'm drunk,

In a haze

Kindness and revenge are just empty words

I wake

From a beautiful dream

Life and death are nothing at all

Come like the wind

Go like the wind

If only we could meet

Love like the wind

Hate like the wind

Easy come, easy go

A wild cackle

A deep sigh

A cry of joy

A wail of sorrow

Who will share life and death with me?

Come like the wind

Leave like the wind

If only we could meet

Love like the wind

Hate like the wind

Easy come, easy go

A wild cackle

A deep sigh

A cry of joy

A wail of sorrow

Who will share life and death with me?

Who will share life and death with me?

Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Saber

Episode 27

Stop!

Please don't hurt my teacher!

Zhiruo!

Silly child, why did you return?

Teacher...

Here.

Brother Wuji!

After taking the antidote,

Third Hero Yu and Sixth Hero Yin's conditions have improved greatly.

Sixth Uncle,

how do you feel?

The colourful insects have vanished.

That's great!

Third Uncle!

How about you? How do you feel?

I feel much better.

The antidote is marvelously effective.

Young master,

I applied the ointment to a limping dog.

Not only was it not poisoned, it's now extremely lively!

That's great.

Be careful.

I never thought it would be possible...

How are you feeling?

It's much better now.

Here,

take it slow.

Slowly,

Sixth Hero Yin.

Look over there.

Yes, the scenery looks different in this weather.

On this trip to Jiangnan,

I brought the Heavenly Eagle Cult back into the folds of the Ming Cult

in hopes of strengthening the Ming Cult

and spreading our influence.

After all,

people everywhere have risen up in revolt against the Yuan dynasty,

and the disciples of the Ming Cult and the Heavenly Eagle Cult

have all taken part

and, as a result, been hunted down by Yuan troops.

There have been numerous casualties.

And now, in the martial arts world, gossip has reached my ear

that our Ming Cult has killed the six main sects.

Now everyone views our Ming Cult as the enemy.

Thinking about this

pains me immensely.

We will not go easy on those who have blackened our name.

But the situation right now is different.

The main sects are all fighting the Yuan forces independently,

but the results have been lackluster.

Then, Left Messenger Yang's meaning is...?

To set aside our past grudges and overlook minor details.

Work with the six main sects to overthrow the Yuan dynasty.

That's hilarious! And how should we work with them?

Didn't you hear what the Eagle King said?

The main sects all think we're the enemy now.

Who are you going to work with?

You say it as though we actually need them.

You see? You see?

Left Messenger Yang,

This time, nobody agrees with your idea.

Grand-teacher,

you mean...

I was actually about to say

that Ming Cult should form an alliance with the other sects,

but I was worried that Mister Zhou

would think that I am spouting nonsense.

Right now,

Yuan forces are wreaking havoc across the land.

Whether orthodox or unorthodox,

we should set aside old grudges

and focus on the common enemy.

As for your cult's quarrels with other sects...

They are insignificant

in view of the great cause against the Yuan dynasty.

What Grandteacher has just said

are my thoughts exactly.

Setting aside our differences with other sects

and unite against the Yuan dynasty--

that should be our priority.

But right now, the leaders of the main sects have gone missing.

Even if we want to,

there are no alliances to be formed.

That's...That's what I think too!

I can't say for sure about the other sects,

but Emei's Abbess Miejue, Hero Song, and their companions

can be traced.

Left Messenger Yang,

just say whatever is on your mind!

Stop keeping us all in suspense!

Zhou Dian...

You already know how [to trace them].

I know how? How would I know?

Zhao Min?

Oh, that's right.

Our leader can ask that Zhao woman.

We might just be able to find out where Abbess Miejue and Hero Song are.

But since that she sealed the deal with our leader,

there has been no sign of her.

Where do we start looking for her from?

Our leader even agreed to fulfill three of her requests!

I'm sure that girl will come looking for him on her own!

I just want to get those three requests out of the way

and tie up this loose end quickly.

Otherwise, it'll keep bugging me.

I'll keep wondering what tricks she's up to.

Waiting for her to show up might be too passive.

That's why I'd like a two-pronged approach.

The first is to seek out where Eldest Uncle Song and Zhao Min are.

The second is to summon our entire cult

to pledge to set aside our grievances with other sects,

to coexist peacefully with others from the martial arts world,

and to unite against the Yuan dynasty.

Great idea!

An excellent thought.

Great! Since everyone's in agreement,

Then let's do so on the fifth day of the eight month.

That works.

Do you have a place in mind, Leader?

Let's gather at Butterfly Valley.

It's a very secluded place

and I used to reside there.

Then that's settled!

I'll let our brothers know to spread the word.

Let's meet on the fifth day of the eighth month!

Very well!

Great!

That's good.

Grandteacher.

How are you feeling, Liting?

Teacher.

I'm doing fine.

That's good.

Grandteacher.

Teacher.

Daiyan.

How are you feeling?

Teacher.

I'm doing much better. Please don't worry.

Teacher,

I'd like to go for a walk.

That sounds good. Getting some air is good.

Careful.

Slowly.

Third Uncle,

Sixth Uncle's injuries are recent,

so he is recovering faster.

Your injuries are old,

so to make a full recovery will take some time.

I understand.

Look,

I can already move my hands slowly.

I'm already on the path to recovery.

Based on your progress thus far,

I think in half a year's time,

you will be able to move around with a walking aid.

That's right.

Although I'm still bedridden,

compared to being paralyzed,

I'm already much better.

This is very good, very good!

Wuji,

Teacher,

I never thought such a day would come.

All of this

is thanks to Wuji's help.

It's thanks to Wuji that I can see the sky again.

Wuji,

Third Uncle thanks you.

Third Uncle, there is no need for thanks.

The secret to the Taiji Fist is

a lightly raised head, a firmly upright posture,

a relaxed waist, and shoulders lowered, at ease.

These sixteen words also suggest

to let your consciousness guide you

and refrain from the use of force.

Your mind and body must act as one,

seemingly relaxed, yet not relaxed,

to extend outwards, but not fully,

Each movement ends, yet flows on.

[Note: The key to the Taiji Fist is relaxed fluidity.

It emphasizes the flow of movement

and possibly the flow of internal energy.

Like qigong, each move bleeds into the next

in a kind of deliberate effortlessness.]

Not bad.

Your Fist and Sword have attained purity.

The Ming Cult's gathering will be taking place soon.

It is time for you to leave Mount Wudang.

Grandteacher,

I wish to wait until Third Uncle and Sixth Uncle have recovered before leaving.

There's no need.

Having been treated by you,

they will recover for certain.

You needn't worry about them.

Wuji!

You bear a heavy responsibility.

You still have a long road ahead.

Therefore, it's time for you to go fulfill your duty as a leader.

Slowly.

How does it feel?

I wish I could recover faster.

You're already recovering like the wind.

Even so, some things mustn't be rushed.

Buhui.

Father.

Return to our villa. I need to talk to you.

Go.

Father...

Good daughter,

since your childhood, I have loved you,

spoiled you.

I'd always let you do whatever you wanted,

isn't that right?

Things are different now

because you've grown up.

You're a lady now.

In all things, you must exercise propriety.

I know you are kind,

which is why you're taking care of Sixth Hero Yin as he recovers.

I can understand,

but if between you two...

Father,

Sixth Hero Yin has only just started to recover from such serious injuries.

If I take care of him, he might recover faster.

That's true,

but if the two of you walk...

too...

Father,

what are you getting at?

I just want to say

if you two walk too closely together,

I'm afraid others will misunderstand.

If our leader sees it,

it might affect your relationship.

Wouldn't that be bad?

Father,

I have already told Brother Wuji clearly about my feelings.

He fully understands.

Er...

You mean, the leader and you have an understanding?

Oh, I mean--

That's fine, then.

That's good.

Then, you don't need to explain further to me.

You don't have to explain further to me.

So that's how it is.

Brother Wuji!

You've finally come out.

Buhui?

Lately, you've spent all your time training with your grandteacher.

You've completely forgotten about my matter right?

This wait is killing me!

What happened?

Brother Wuji,

When did you speak with my father

about me and Sixth Hero Yin?

Huh?

You've forgotten all about it, haven't you?

Oh, I'm sorry! It's my fault.

I've been so busy with cult business that I forgot about it.

I'm sorry.

Then... Can you speak with my father now?

Father has even misunderstood the situation.

What did he misunderstand?

He thinks... we're an item.

How can that be?

You're like a real sister to me.

But he doesn't know that.

You're already about to leave the mountain.

If you still don't clarify things, my father's misunderstanding will deepen.

Oh...

Brother Wuji,

won't you please explain to my father now?

- Huh? Now? -Yes, now!

Please, Brother Wuji!

- You're the cult leader! - Sister Buhui!

- My father will definitely listen to you! - What do I say to him?!

Leader.

Are you packing your belongings?

Yes. We'll set off for Butterfly Valley tomorrow.

I'm just preparing in advance and packing up.

Leader, did you need me for something?

Yes.

There is something I'd like to discuss with you.

It has to do with Buhui.

Please sit.

When you were young,

you saved Buhui's life.

The Ming Cult is also deeply indebted to you.

Forget discussing,

Leader, you can simply command me.

I will follow your will.

Then you agree to it?

Of course.

Have you chosen a date yet, Leader?

Or...

Shall I help you two choose an auspicious date?

Let's wait till we get back

and for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle to safely return.

The wedding can be held then.

Let's do that.

This is great news.

Besides, Sixth Uncle Yin still needs time to recover.

He wouldn't want to be supported through the wedding.

Your Sixth Uncle Yin?

And...

and who?

Yes, it's Sixth Uncle Yin.

Their feelings are mutual

and they would like your blessing.

Isn't it you and Buhui?

Why...

Uncle Yang, you've misunderstood.

Buhui is like a real sister to me.

I've made a mistake.

Looks like I've misunderstood.

Leader,

there is an enormous difference in their age.

They're from different generations as well.

It's not proper.

Uncle Yang,

Sixth Uncle might be my uncle by bond,

but he's actually not even forty.

He's in his prime.

Buhui might call him 'Uncle',

but there's no blood tie between them.

It's just token of respect.

Leader,

I do not mean to offend,

but it would truly be improper.

Uncle Yang,

is this because of the previous generation's grudges?

There's no grudge.

A-Actually,

Buhui came to look for me.

At first, her actions really were out of pity for Sixth Uncle Yin.

Later on, though,

she came to understand her own feelings.

She even said

Sixth Uncle is her... her... favorite candy.

Favorite candy...

The rear of Mount Wudang truly is beautiful.

Look.

Actually, Buhui's personality is very similar to Aunt Ji's.

She's very stubborn.

She said,

Sixth Uncle Yin is the first sugarman she has ever liked.

There won't be a second one.

If the two of them can't be together,

how heartbroken would Buhui be?

Uncle Yang,

the grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with them.

I'm sure you also want Buhui to be happy.

Isn't that so?

Let me see...

These flowers smell so nice.

Hm?

Smell it.

Here.

My daughter, Buhui...

I truly wish to marry Buhui.

But she's not Xiaofu.

I am well aware of that.

Xiaofu is gone.

I see things clearly now.

But do you know who she is to me?

I know I'm not good enough for Buhui,

but that's precisely why

I will cherish her more than anyone else.

So long as Buhui is willing to spend one more day with me,

I will do all in my power to love and protect her,

to cherish her deeply.

I truly love Buhui.

I hope you will

grant us your approval.

My daughter

is young and doesn't know the ways of the world.

She acts as her heart dictates.

If a conflict arises between you two later on,

send her home.

I will discipline her.

You have no authority to scold or punish her.

If you hurt her...

I will kill you.

You have take extra care on this trip.

You mustn't act recklessly.

Always think twice before taking action.

Yes, grandteacher.

Third Uncle! Why have you left the room?

I came to see you off.

Third Uncle Yu.

Thank you for your care all this while.

Still calling him Third Uncle?

Shouldn't you change how you address him?

[Note: She should be calling him Third Brother.]

Looks like Buhui won't be joining us in our travels.

Buhui wishes to stay and take care of my uncles.

So when will the two of you get married?

We plan to wait for my brothers

to all return before we hold the ceremony.

Good!

After our victory, we will come for you wedding banquet!

Even if you aren't married yet,

shouldn't you serve tea to me, your teacher?

- About that, teacher... - Grandteacher...

Why are you teaming up with them to tease us?

Left Messenger Yang.

Why do you look so dour?

This union of theirs is cause for celebration!

From now on, our families are as one!

You don't get it, do you?

I understand Left Messenger Yang's feelings.

I understand them well.

You're here at last, reverend.

Has everyone arrived?

You don't have to worry when I'm on the job.

That's true, that's true...

What do you guys think you're looking at?

Bathe the horses!

Hurry up!

Yes.

Reverend, this way...

Senior Brother Song,

how's your injury?

It's just a scratch.

It's no trouble.

Senior Brother!

How is it that you've been captured as well?

They cunningly poisoned us!

They have also massacred Shaolin Sect!

That's...!

It's all due to my carelessness!

Yours truly has long admired you heroes,

and I've finally "invited" you all here today.

Witch,

is this how you "invite" your guests?

You've misunderstood me, Abbess.

I wanted to invite you in good faith,

but I was afraid some of you would misunderstand and won't cooperate.

That's why I've had to offend you en route.

After we finish discussing important matters,

I will certainly give everyone a welcome.

What is your motive in kidnapping us?

Then yours truly shall be frank.

I have invited all of you here today

in hopes that you will turn from darkness and embrace the light...

and serve my imperial court.

Dream on!

To work for your imperial court?

You're delusional!

The emperor's might is known across the lands,

and he values talent above all else.

Everyone here is an expert in martial arts,

outstanding heroes who know what must be done in times like these.

If you agree to serve,

The emperor will reward you beyond expectation

and guarantee your well-being.

You've gone to all this effort

to get us to betray ourselves?

I advise you not to waste your breath anymore.

Abbess,

why don't you consider my offer a little longer?

I don't need to consider!

If not for your poison,

we wouldn't have ended up here.

Kill us or maim us, do as you will!

But if you want us to be the imperial court's dogs,

that will never happen!

That's right!

Abbess Miejue's reputation is well-deserved indeed.

Your strength of will...

I like it.

To be honest, I also don't expect all of you to submit to me today.

All of you here today

are famous figures in the martial arts world.

If you were that easily persuaded to surrender,

wouldn't that be boring?

Who exactly is this witch?

Where is she from?

Do you know?

No idea!

This woman

is just an extremely wily and up to no good crook!

If there's anyone here

who is willing to surrender,

please come forward.

Once you leave this courtyard,

there will be good food and wine waiting for you.

Very well, it seems you are all resolute!

I respect that.

In that case, those who refuse to surrender

I won't force you to stay against your will.

Does that mean you are releasing us?

Spar against my subordinates on this platform.

Win three rounds and you're free to go.

What if we lose?

Lose one round...

and I'll chop off one finger.

What...?

I'm curious to see...

how many fingers you will leave behind.

We've all been poisoned by you

and lost our inner power.

Sparring in such a state

how would that be fair?

You're all highly skilled in martial arts.

A young lady must take precautions.

We come from the martial arts world

and are dedicated to defeating the tyrannous and helping the weak.

We will not be bought by the imperial court.

If you wish to kill us, then kill.

I ask that you do not torment and insult us!

Great Hero Song's righteousness is unparalleled.

However, this place is not Wudang Sect's territory.

I'm afraid the rules

are mine to decide.

Do you take the six main sects of the Central Plain

for cowards?

Big Brother!

My Kongtong Sect will lead this fight. I'll go first!

Hero Wei!

Good! You've got guts!

I won't bully you either.

I'll give you a weapon.

You're giving me such a lousy weapon.

Isn't that bullying?

Master Lu,

the Seven Harms Fist of Kongtong Sect

is forceful and gentle by turns,

plus it's unpredictable.

First it's like this,

then it's like this.

Finally, it's like this.

Your highness is brilliant.

That is exactly correct.

Second Brother!

Do you surrender?

No!

If I had my inner power,

you would not be my match at all!

Quit wasting time chatting.

Chop his finger off and put him in the pavilion!

Second Brother!

This...!

- I don't accept this! - Get up!

Move!

I don't accept this!

Witch!

On the surface, you brought us here to force our surrender.

But in truth,

your goal is to secretly learn our skills!

Your actions are despicable!

Abbess, what are you worried about?

The other sects' skills might be easy to pick up,

but Emei Sect's skills are complex and profound.

How can they be learned so easily?

Yet I would still like to learn them.

Sanhui.

Present!

Spar against Abbess Miejue.

Yes!

What,

is the great leader of Emei

so afraid of death?

Do you not even dare to fight against my subordinate?

Our teacher prefers death to ignominy.

How can our great Emei Sect

abide by your rules?

Sure.

It doesn't have to be your leader who fights.

I've heard about a Miss Zhou from your sect

who is Abbess Miejue's favoured disciple.

When you all besieged the Ming Cult at Bright Peak,

she even managed to seriously injure the Ming Cult's leader.

She must have acquired top-tier skills from Abbess Miejue.

Since the leader is not willing to step forward,

then let her come forward to fight.

What,

is there an Emei disciple who doesn't dare to identify herself?

Zhiruo!

Zhiruo.

So it's you.

You really are exceptionally beautiful.

You are so young,

yet you already are the favored disciple of Emei Sect.

You are truly one to inspire envy.

Since your leader is unwilling to fight,

I guess you'll have to fight instead.

You stand there, unmoving...

Is it because you are as lofty and aloof as your teacher

and will not deign to spar with us?

That's right.

My teacher detests despicable and vile lowlifes most of all.

We will not deign to spar with you.

The skills of your Emei Sect...

Are they really peerless?

Your victory is hardly guaranteed.

Zhiruo, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'll fight in her stead!

Good!

Good! That's great!

Not bad! Not bad at all!

I won!

Are you hurt?

I'll be fine.

With your concern, nothing will happen to me.

Such a show of feeling and righteousness!

What other tricks do you have? Go ahead and use them.

I, Song Qingshu, am not afraid.

No need.

What are you scheming?

Nothing at all.

I just watched a nice show...

so I'm in a good mood.

Move!

Guard the doors well.

Take good care of each of these heroes for me.

Don't let even one of them escape.

Yes, teacher!

Lock those from Wudang and Shaolin upstairs!

Go!

Hurry up!

Thank you for earlier.

No need to thank me.

- Take good care of yourself. - Move!

Move it!

Abbess...

Hurry up!

This way, please.

Don't let these demons

learn our Emei skills.

Do you understand?

Yes, we understand.

Teacher. Teacher!

Teacher!

Eh, aren't these our people, Leader?

Isn't that our Ming Cult's Flame Flag?

Big Brother Chang!

Big Brother Chang!

Big Brother Chang!

Big Brother Chang...

Is it really you, Big Brother Chang?

Brother Wuji!

It really is Brother Wuji!

I've missed you to death!

The heavens have blessed me

to let me meet you again!

You're all grown up now.

Chang Yuchun!

You stand before the Cult Leader.

Show some respect!

Chang Yuchun humbly greets our Cult Leader!

Big Brother Chang, please stand.

Please stand, everyone!

Big Brother Chang,

please continue to call me Wuji in the future.

Brother Leader,

I'm your big brother

and also your subordinate.

I couldn't be happier!

Everyone from the cult

is waiting for you in Butterfly Valley.

Elder Brother Chang, please lead the way quickly!

Let's go then!

I've already heard everything from Chief Wen.

He told me all about what happened at Bright Peak.

It was such wonderful news!

My only regret is that

I couldn't be there with all our brothers.

To be honest,

I've been away from this place for too long.

Back then, Big Brother Chang trekked all day and night with me in tow

to reach Butterfly Valley and seek out Mister Hu for medical help.

I wonder if Mister Hu's medical journals are still there.

My uncle's home was seized by mountain bandits

and burned to the ground.

All of his medical journals are gone.

Have you been in Butterfly Valley all this time?

When I heard that you've become our Cult Leader,

I was absolutely delighted.

Thus, I brought our brothers to this place to await your arrival.

Little did we expect that, as we waited,

the Mongolians were the ones who showed up instead.

Our numbers were few,

so we came up an idea to pretend to be weak

and lead them to our camp for an easy win.

This time, though, you showed up instead!

Oh!

In my excitement, I've forgotten to greet everyone.

This subordinate is Chang Yuchun.

I humbly greet Left Messenger Yang,

Eagle King,

Lord Yin,

Scattered Person Zhou,

Thank you for your help earlier.

I have already asked our brothers to prepare a feast.

We've even prepared good tea.

It's a rare thing that our brothers have all gathered today.

Let no one leave until we've celebrated the occasion!

Let's take a look over there.

What's was that?

Just now.

About this... Errr...

Chang Yuchun, he...

should be...

serving under Wen Cangsong's banner,

so his distance [rank-wise] from us...

should be this much!

So?

But Leader...

and him are brothers bound by life and death,

so the distance between them should be...

this much.

So...

let's not be stand-offish on account of rank.

(Lady Hero Ji Xiaofu's Grave)

Uncle Yang,

back then, I buried Aunt Ji here.

It might be a little lacking.

I hope you don't mind it.

Not at all.

Thank you, Leader.

Actually, to me, where she is buried is not important,

because in my heart,

Xiaofu isn't really gone.

I can feel that she's...

she's been with me all this time.

Leader,

please give me a moment.

Sure.

Xiaofu,

Xiaofu, I know you can hear me.

Did you know?

Our daughter is very beautiful.

Just like you, she's irreplaceable.

She's very happy now.

Knowing that there's someone who can protect her

gave me the peace of mind to finally come visit you.

I know you've been waiting for me.

Soon,

when I've fulfilled my final duty,

I will bring you to a most tranquil,

most beautiful place.

No one will ever bother us again.

Wait for me.

- Hey. - Leader.

Don't you think the brazier fire is burning fiercely?

I've already sent word out.

The members of our cult are all hurrying here.

Now, we're just waiting for the fifth day of the eight month

and for you to announce your decree.

Thank you for your trouble, Big Brother Chang.

Leader.

How's are things? Was the journey here smooth?

Have you discovered Miss Zhao's whereabouts?

I am incompetent, Leader.

I have not been able to track down Miss Zhao.

It's not your fault.

She's slippery as an eel and full of tricks up her sleeve.

Naturally, she would have taken precautions.

For now, you and Bat King don't have to look for her anymore.

There are othe cult matters for you to manage.

Yes, sir!

Yan Yuan, Wu Jingcao.

Leader.

I'll leave it to you to find out the whereabouts of the missing sects.

Yes, sir!

Abbess Miejue,

we meet again.

Actually, I've been meaning to summon you

so I can see for myself Emei's swordsmanship.

However, my teachers said that

I had to observe the other sects' first,

then observe Emei's, which requires more inner cultivation.

Only then will it be insightful.

That's why your turn has only just arrived today.

You are a woman,

but unlike the other cowardly leaders,

you have more of a backbone.

I respect that.

You refuse to reveal your moves before me,

but I have already laid down the rules.

You can only leave if you spar and win.

Unless...

you do not wish to leave?

If you lose, you must leave a finger behind.

Refusing to spar...

counts as a defeat.

Do you think that by ignoring me

I won't be able to do anything to you?

I know that you are extremely proud.

It wouldn't matter to you how many fingers of yours I chop off.

But what about your disciples?

If I have them brought here

and have every single one of them stripped naked,

I wonder if your Emei Sect will still be able to hold out?

You are a woman yourself,

but you humiliate other women.

You are simply a shameless pervert!

What did you say?

Even if I die,

I will die at the end of the Heaven Sword

and have nothing to do with you dogs of the imperial court!

Don't keep asking why karma

turns out to be this way

In human life. life and death

always take turns.

Be kind in heart

Hurt and pain disappear in a laugh

Only fear that it is cruel

that the love will hurt the infatuation ones.

How many people who can

come out of the struggle and get to keep the original love

How many people

can escape the destiny of being stuck with love

What is eternity

Why fear the messy fight in the world

The warmth and cold of the human world

mess up the half of the ordinary life.

All the fame like blossoms will fall off,

I am willing to hide my name and disappear.

to give you stability.

With only this one kiss,

I would have no fear, no hate, and no complaint.
