The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2017)

Episode 23

Ke'er, you call me Uncle.

In fact...

all this time,

I regarded you as my own son.

Uncle.

What's the matter?

Why'd Old Beggar come to the Isle?

Did he come for 9-Yin Manual?

No matter what, I'll get 9-Yin.

Whoever blocks me...

Who is it?

Jing, hopefully Teacher convinces my dad.

Rong'er, don't worry. Even if your dad beats me,

I won't let you marry Ouyang Ke.

Big Bro Zhou.

Wooden fish brains, you just like hugging precious baby.

That other guy is cheating you.

What do you mean?

I heard Old Venom. I'm not wrong.

His goal isn't marrying you. It's stealing your dad's 9-Yin Manual.

- You heard yourself? - Of course.

My ears aren't on my butt.

See. I knew their characters.

So they want 9-Yin Manual.

- Rong'er, I'll tell your dad and Teacher. - Wait, Brother Jing.

Dad opposes you. He won't believe you.

Never mind. You two quickly go far away.

Importantly, don't let Old Huang know where.

Not right, Old Urchin. Don't you dislike my dad?

Why help me nicely now?

Why not?

I oppose your dad, not you, right?

And if you go with my Brother, and Old Heretic knows, he'll get mad.

Think what fun.

Rong'er. We can't just leave.

Your dad may be hurt.

We must tell your dad Ouyang Feng's purpose.

Don't let him be duped.

Right. Teacher came. Why fear them?

You two wooden brains worry me.

Zhou Botong. Come out!

Old Venom is coming.

Big Bro is worried. I'll pursue him.

Jing, I'm coming.

Spirit Snake Staff

Come on.

Right here.

Come on. Your snake bit me.

I went to overhear your intent.

My plan went awry. Now you want to kill me.

Dad, Old Venom and Little Venom didn't come about marriage.

They want your 9-Yin Manual.

- How do you know? - I heard it from Zhou Botong.

Zhou Botong is crazy and can't be trusted.

Rong'er, don't rush. Watch.

Two Experts fighting is rare.

Old Urchin, long time no see. Your kungfu progressed.

Rotten hands, bad hands.

Who told you to use this kungfu.

Who said to use it?

I said I'd look, not train.

I made a big mistake.

No more playing! No fun.

Where are you going?

Old Venom, why mind Old Beggar.

He babbles. Don't respond.

Someone is anxious to kill to keep a mouth shut.

Rong'er, don't listen to Zhou Botong.

I am sincere towards you. You must believe me.

Did you call me Rong'er?

Bro Yao, look. My nephew and your daughter

are very compatible, quarrelling affectionately.

After they marry, you'll have no concerns.

After marrying? What marriage?

Don't you see Old Beggar here?

This is my personal matter with Bro Yao. Don't interfere.

You have a personal matter. I have a personal matter.

You don't want me to interfere, nor do I want you to interfere.

Bro Yao, I have one request.

After decades of friendship, I can't not oblige.

Don't comply quickly. It isn't simple.

If it was simple, you wouldn't seek me.

OK. This is my good brother. So you agree.

It's agreed.

Bro Yao, wait.

Better hear what Bro Qi asks.

Old Venom, no need to say. Be ready for celebratory wine.

What celebratory wine?

What celebratory wine? See, they're my disciples.

I asked Bro Yao to let them marry.

Bro Yao agreed, right?

Eh, right? You heard.

Bro Qi, it can't be so.

Bro Yao betrothed his daughter to my nephew.

Today we brought dowry.

- Bro Qi, this is no joke. - Who's joking with you?

One daughter, two proposals. You need a matchmaker.

Today I'm Guo Jing's matchmaker. Where's your matchmaker?

Bro Yao agreed to marry his daughter to my nephew.

What else is needed.

Bro Yao agreed to that, not Old Beggar.

- So you want to challenge me. - Who says so?

Jing'er, Rong'er, block your ears.

Ke'er.

Western Regions Iron Zither

The sounds of the harp and flute make my heart thump.

If this gets stronger,

I could die from this.

Stinky kid, strong *naeli. (*inner power)

He's showing off to Huang and Rong. I'll spoil his tactic.

Jing: left hand: 'Swan Descends Gracefully'; right hand, 'Proud Dragon Regrets'

Ke'er.

You're okay, right?

Stinky kid sneak-attacked.

Little Venom attacked Jing.

Rong'er, don't be impolite.

Jing'er.

You used

left and right hands, each in an 18-Dragon Palm.

What's that called?

- I got taught this by Big Bro Zhou. - Big Bro Zhou?

You became Brothers?

Old Urchin got a snake bite. Jing saved him

so they swore Brotherhood.

Good, good.

One old, one young. Preposterous.

Today, my Brothers' marriage offers

honoured me.

If you clash, winning may take thousands of stances.

And Mount Hua Meet is soon.

I have a solution for you both.

I don't like flowery talk.

To solve it fast, say it fast.

I have three tests for these two.

Whoever is superior will marry my daughter.

Bro Yao, good idea, but my nephew is hurt.

To fight, wait for him to heal.

Take it easy. Fight tomorrow.

I'll be fair, not taking sides.

Tomorrow, Jin will combat Ouyang Ke.

Dad doesn't like Jing. He's sure to trouble him.

If Jing loses, we can't be together.

What to do?

If Mom was still here, she'd have a solution.

A Heng, tomorrow I'll pick a husband for Rong'er.

Please bless me in choosing the best husband for our daughter.

I know you are very fond of your daughter. So am I.

I want Rong'er to marry the perfect husband.

But we can't fight fate.

We can only do our best.

Mom, you must bless Jing.

Brother Yao, soon the game can start.

Bro Feng. I'll mention the rules.

Today, I'll give three trials, testing these two's skills.

Winner will be recognised as my son-in-law.

Bro Yao, if you have 2 daughters, no need to compete.

Bro Qi, you can really joke.

Loser may choose one kungfu skill.

I will try to teach it.

- He won't go home empty handed. - OK.

- Ke'er, did you clearly hear what Master Huang said? - I heard.

If your wugong can't match Gou Jing, you're to blame.

We'll happily drink celebratory wine before leaving.

If you make problems for these two Seniors,

I won't forgive you.

- That's reasonable. - What's reasonable?

Old Venom, you jibed at us.

You're saying to admit defeat.

Bro Qi, you think too much.

You two are Senior Experts. You can't retract your word.

I'll state the test.

First, martial arts.

Bro Yao, Ke'er was hurt yesterday. He hasn't recovered.

I know. So it's not these two.

Not these two? They won't fight? Will you test them?

Not so.

If I do it, I might take sides.

Bro Feng, your kungfu equals Bro Qi.

You test Guo Jing.

Bro Qi, you test Ouyang's nephew.

I'll beat him? Old Venom beats him?

Why didn't I think of it? OK.

Good.

OK.

No, no. If Jing and Old...

How does Uncle Ouyang feel?

Relax. We'll set rules.

First.

Nephew Ouyang is hurt. The test is martial arts,

not exerting strength.

Second.

Fight on the peach tree tops.

Whoever falls first, loses.

Third.

If Bro Feng or Bro Qi exert force

and injure the Junior, that's a loss.

Huang Yaoshi, you're very talkative.

Injuring a Junior is losing? I've never heard of that.

Bro Qi, either one may become my son-in-law.

- How can they be hurt? - Fine, fine. Fair enough.

I, Old Beggar, agree.

OK.

Everyone, please.

Elder.

Elder.

At your service.

'Toad Stance' force

Old Venom used naeli. Jing, be careful!

Ouyang Ke, you Little Venom.

'Sighting a Dragon in Field'

Brother Jing.

Jing.

So sorry. I couldn't retract my force. Miss, are you hurt?

Jing, are you okay?

Thanks, Master Huang, for saving me.

I wasn't saving you. I feared for Rong'er.

Bro Yao, your daughter headed into trouble. I...

Old Venom. You're cruel.

You nearly killed his girl and my Student.

It was uncontrollable.

Whoever injured a Junior, loses.

- This test was won by Guo Jing. - Thank you, Master Huang.

My wife appreciated music.

I'm sure she'd have liked a son-in-law who knows music.

So, this second test, I play music.

Dad, you're troubling Jing.

He grew up in the Steppe with no music culture.

Your mom and I loved music.

How can a son-in-law candidate not know music.

Unless he admits defeat,

- this test continues. - Not good.

Huang Yaoshi, you obviously want Jing to lose.

Never mind, we quit. Jing'er, go.

Teacher. Let's listen to the music.

Since Rong'er's mom liked music, I should try.

If I lose this test, fine. There's one left.

Round 3, I'll try to win.

- Bro Guo. You admit defeat this round. - Sly!

My second test is for you to feel and follow the music I play.

Bro Yao. I fear Juniors might not be able to withstand your music.

I will play ordinary music, without any naeli.

Bro Feng, relax.

Each take bamboo sticks and tap the rhythm.

Whoever follows best will win.

Please.

Tap.

Why won't Jing tap?

Don't panic. Let him calm down.

Qigong. Jing is tapping offbeat.

Rong'er, don't panic. I've heard.

Though Jing doesn't understand music, he can battle your dad's music.

This kid can even do this.

Your dad changed the tempo.

'Jade-Coloured Tidal Wave Song'

Ke'er.

Look at him.

The boy is young but has strong inner energy.

Bro Yao. Bro Yao, this test can stop.

- Unexpectedly, Guo Jing battled it. - Jing.

Thanks, Master Huang, for mercy or I mightn't have survived.

Still call me Master Huang?

Why kowtow to me?

I don't know. Rong'er made me.

A silly kid is a silly kid.

This round, Nephew Ouyang won.

Huang Yaoshi. Jing disrupted your tune.

He wins. Nephew Ouyang floundered.

- Why'd Jing lose? - In endurance, Guo Jing is superior.

But this was a music test.

Nephew Ouyang was superior.

So this round goes to him.

Dad, it's unfair.

Don't discuss it. Let's continue.

Madam Heng and I had one daughter.

Today, Brothers Feng and Qi came to matchmake.

If my wife was alive, she'd be delighted.

She handwrote this Manual.

She died because of this book.

It was hard work for her.

Now, you two, read this book.

Then memorise it.

Whoever recites more correctly will marry my daughter.

Old Heretic. You know my Student isn't smart. Like me, he won't understand it.

You troubled him with your late wife's book.

You're excessive.

Bro Qi, today is a 3-round test.

But it's not over yet.

How do you know your Student will lose?

Best wait till after to talk.

Ke'er.

- Memorise seriously. - Yes, Uncle.

- Father-in-law, young Son-in-law is ready. - Wait a minute.

The winner is undecided. Who's your Father-in-law?

Master Huang, I'm ready.

OK.

[ 9-Yin Manual : Part 2 ]

This is 9-Yin Manual. Didn't expect it already.

The Way of Heaven. A simple fix...

Isn't this Zhou Botong Manual?

How's Master Huang know it?

Jing can't memorise this. I'll use another way.

Ouyang Ke, you put Miss Mu in a coffin.

Her ghost came in my dream.

She said she'll kill you tonight.

- Bad! I forgot to get her out. - Ke'er, be serious.

Who will first recite it?

- I will. - You opportunist.

Nephew Ouyang, please.

"The Way of Heaven. A simple fix is not enough to repair damage."

"It truly is an empty victory."

"Under Heaven, Yin balances Yang."

"Change is endless from life to death."

"Don't seek purity in ignorance."

"Hidden within is mystery..."

Not right. You got it wrong.

Though you didn't memorise it all, it's quite good.

Guo Jing, it's your turn.

Jing'er. Why wait? Say everything you remember.

Hurry.

Brother Jing.

Bro Guo, can't you recall one word?

If you can't, Rong'er is mine.

- Dad. - Rong'er.

- If you send me west with him, I'll die now. - Rong'er.

Thank you, Bro Feng.

Rong'er.

If you won't marry, you can stay on the Isle with me all your life.

Dad.

You don't love me any more. I'll tell Mom.

Bro Yao.

Guo Jing is a smart young Hero.

Ask him to recite once.

Rong'er.

If you babble, you'll mess up Nephew Guo's concentration.

Hurry, Jing'er, recite now.

Jing.

"The Way of Heaven: using a simple fix to repair deficiencies is not sufficient."

"It truly is an empty victory."

"Under Heaven, Yin balances Yang."

"Change is endless from life to death."

"Do not seek purity in ignorance."

"It can be said to be subtle."

"The Way is not straight. It begins life."

"Hidden within is mystery."

"To know that unchanging rule is to be intelligent."

"It produces them and does not claim them as its own".

"This is called its mysterious operation"

"to know Truth."

A Heng, you truly chose him as a son-in-law?

- "Five hues of essences". - Good, good.

See, my student is smart.

He recited it.

Dad, Jing recited it.

Jing, you recited it all.

Guo Jing, I ask.

Did you find Mei Chao Feng's 9-Yin Manual?

I don't know where her Manual went.

If I know, I will return it to you.

- You're speaking the truth? - I dare not lie.

Alright.

Very good.

Brother Feng, Brother Qi.

This is my late wife's spirit choosing a son-in-law.

Brothers, I can't gainsay it.

Guo Jing, now I'm betrothing my beloved daughter to you.

Treat her well.

- Father in-law. - Wait. - What else?

Huang Yaoshi agreed. Yet you're dissatisfied?

Nephew Guo recited more words than in here.

- You'd seen this 9-Yin Manual. - Ouyang Ke, don't slander him.

9-Yin Manual? This is 9-Yin Manual?

Still lying.

It's titled '9-Yin Manual'.

- I don't know those letters. - Don't know? Who's lying?

Jing didn't know this Official Seal script. What's strange?

OK. I ask.

Where'd you learn what you recited?

I never studied 9-Yin Manual.

I learned what Big Bro Zhou taught: 'Botong Manual'.

'Botong Manual'?

You call 9-Yin 'Botong Manual'.

You're a crazy ignoramus.

Don't talk rubbish.

Guo Jing. You truly never saw 9-Yin Manual?

How do you prove it?

Junior Bro Guo.

- Bro Guo. - Big Bro Zhou. - Everyone's here. Good.

Hey. Old Urchin, who tied your hands?

Who can bind me? I did it.

Old Urchin. You're on time.

- Quickly explain to help Jing. - Explain what? - Quickly.

You don't know I taught you 9-Yin Manual?

You begged to learn.

When did I beg?

- I never did. - Guo Jing.

- You said you didn't study it. - I never studied it.

Big Bro Zhou, why'd you say so?

Old Urchin. It affects Jing's future. You must explain.

Want me to explain? Fine. Let me out.

Old Urchin.

Old Urchin.

Old Urchin.

Big Bro Zhou.

Hurry out to explain to me.

No-one's here.

Look here. There's writing.

Old Huang, after 15 years, I want to lock you in

but after thought, I let it go. Please...

Please accept my foot wash water.

Stinks.

This Old Urchin from birth never washed his feet.

Old Heretic Huang, how's my foot wash water?

Zhou Botong.

Everyone is here.

Old Heretic, you're fast too.

You confined me for 15 years. I repaid you with my foot wash water.

Fragrant, perfect for you.

Big Bro Zhou, don't play. Quickly tell them

I really didn't know you taught me 9-Yin Manual.

- Old Urchin. Quickly explain. - It must be clarified.

Old Urchin.

I asked you.

Did this boy study 9-Yin Manual?

He studied it.

Studied, studied, studied.

Stinky kid. You lied to me.

Big Bro Zhou, not me. I had no idea.

- I truly didn't. - Old Urchin.

You had 9-Yin Manual Part 1.

Where'd you get Part 2?

He gave it to me.

Silly boy, forgot you did?

He said he stole it from your beloved Mei Chao Feng. Stole it.

- Big Bro Zhou, why do you talk rot? - Old Urchin.

Don't make it up. Explain again.

Fine, Guo Jing.

Chao Feng's lost 9-Yin Manual was stolen by you.
