EPISODE 9

ZhiJing taught me many formulae in a few days.

How's he ever kind?

I wonder if it's genuine.

I'll ask them if it's genuine, and avoid trickery.

Okay, stop for today.

Brothers.

Brothers.

I'd like your advice.

"Begin Tao practice with 9 acupoints." What line follows?

It's..."Gushing Spring, knee, back, summit, return."

"What use to study the scheme of living?"

"Passion dies. To dust, all turning."

"Pure breath fills movement, soul illuminating."

It's all correct.

Yang Guo, that's amazing learning in 10 days.

You don't know.

I learned a bunch after that.

Your Teacher's good to you.

I'm slow; it took me 6 months.

- No, fast is bad. - Fast is bad?

Each verse has several techniques.

Sure.

ZhiJing taught me verses without gongfu.

He's dead meat.

How are your techniques going?

I was just about to tell you.

My Teacher goes fast.

I can remember it all.

But your Teacher is slow.

That must be boring.

If I teach you lines in advance,

can you practise techniques with me?

Good!

Let's do it now.

(* = bastard)

[ Zhao Zhi *Turtle ]

Bastard!

No-one in Quanzhen ever dared to do that.

Yang Guo, I won't let you off!

Who spread pepper?!

Someone save me!

Yang Guo!

"Begin Tao practice with 9 acupoints."

"Gushing Spring, knee, back, summit, return."

Yang Guo!

Did you do this?

What did you think of my swordplay?

Stop your nonsense!

I...I must ask.

Where'd you learn that? I didn't teach you.

That's a major taboo!

You taught me. You forgot?

It seems you went crazy.

This isn't trivial; get treatment.

Bastard.

You meddled with my room? You have guts!

I'll beat you to death now.

- I... - Teacher.

I take revenge for my grudges.

You taught me theory and no technique.

You won't easily do that again.

Bastard, you admitted it, right?

You're bullying me, your Teacher.

I must beat you to death.

Come here.

Stay back or I'll stab you.

Disarm.

I will stab you.

Give me your sword. Put it down.

It's Head Priest.

Dare to trick me? I'll beat you to death.

You little bastard!

Bastard!

Bastard, I'll beat you to death!

I'll beat you to death!

Stop!

- Little bastard! - Stop!

- Bastard! - Stop!

What sort of Teacher are you?

- No, Leader. - You're violent to a kid?

Don't blame Teacher; it's my fault.

Teacher fed me roast wild rabbit.

I accidentally dropped it in the fire.

I dirtied his clothes; it's my fault.

Don't listen to his story.

ZhiJing. You should know

we Taoists don't harm or kill.

- I... - Head Priest.

- I'm doomed. - You!

See this rabbit I ate.

Bastard, you're malicious.

Why'd I tell the truth?

I sinned. I should die; beat me.

Child, get up.

- Don't fear. - He's acting!

ZhiJing! Against rules, you killed an animal.

You lied, and you hit him.

Leader!

You sinned. Reflect in your room.

Sin again, there's no forgiveness!

Leader! Leader!

I'm innocent! I'm innocent!

You little rascal!

You're cruel! So cruel!

Your brain can't match mine.

Your schemes can't beat me. Your lies can't compete.

So teach me wugong nicely.

For this rabbit, I forgive you once.

You!

Want a bite?

You wait and see!

Teacher.

Yang Guo!

Here, come, come...Sit down!

Sit.

I have no hidden agenda.

Eat rice; have a nice meal.

- Here. - Is it poisoned?

Though I'm not as smart as you,

I'm not that stupid.

Would I poison you?

What's the use of poisoning you?

How'd I explain to Leader?

Eat. Here, here...

That's true.

Little Yang Guo.

I've been thinking.

What use is our fighting?

No use. Useless!

We can't do much to each other.

Heaven made you my disciple.

Our Teacher-Student bond is fated.

Never mind...

Yang Guo, how about this?

Pretend the past never happened.

Alright?

You should've thought so earlier.

Though you're gutless, despicable, mean and untalented,

what can I do? You're already my Teacher.

"Teacher for a day, Father for a lifetime".

Teach me wugong nicely; I'll let you be.

Good! That's alright.

Come, come... Eat rice. Eat rice.

Come, come.... Eat rice, eat.

Eat more. Let me say...

I taught you no techniques; I'm at fault.

From tomorrow...

you're like other Brothers.

Back to basics; train on the mountain.

But never go to the peak; only ascend halfway.

Why?

There's no reason.

No-one goes to the peak.

You're not lying?

Little brat, you're smart.

Would I dare trick you?

You have no guts.

Eat more. Train tomorrow.

Oh, so filial...

Kiddo.

Why's Zhao ZhiJing nice to me?

Why's his change of heart scary?

And only train mid-mountain?

What rule is that?

Coming to the peak tomorrow?

No, I have blood deficiency.

That won't do.

The peak has beneficial rare flowers.

It's a pity not to go.

Let's go tomorrow.

- Alright. - Agreed.

That Zhao ZhiJing lied to me.

I'll go to the peak tomorrow.

You won't get the better of me.

Thank you, Teacher.

Never reveal this.

Yes.

Let's go.

Yang Guo.

Didn't you say you're smart?

Wait and see.

Head Priest.

Hey, Head Priest.

Head Priest.

Head Priest.

Head Priest!!

Head Priest, how are you?

Who let you come here?

I...

I told you many times

not to disturb Leader at the peak.

You don't listen.

Bow and apologise.

I overhead two brothers saying

the peak is good for practice.

Yang Guo. Does a disciple

heeds others but not his Teacher?

Is this a sound reason?

Rules require reward and punishment.

Cane him under the rules.

Leader!

Leader.

Yang Guo should be punished but he's a kid.

He can't endure that penalty.

"There are no bad students, just bad teachers".

I'll take his punishment.

When did you care about this kid?

Leader, you know me.

My personality is rash.

I'm not a good Teacher

but my heart has a soft spot.

Yang Guo is from outside.

Guo Jing put him in Quanzhen care.

Consider ties of friendship.

Punishing him will ruin our amity with Guo Jing.

That's no good.

You make sense.

He's not fully to blame

and you beg for him.

Yang Guo.

Yes.

I'll let you off for your Teacher.

Respect the rules.

If you err again, punishment won't be light.

Yes.

Thank you, Leader.

Go now.

I'll take my leave.

Teacher, I'll take my leave.

ZhiJing, stay.

I have a letter for you to see.

All along, I felt puzzled.

Jing'er's wugong is so advanced, why'd he send Guo'er here?

I wrote to Rong'er.

This is her reply.

Yang Guo has ties with Ouyang Feng.

His going to the peak

seems to be no accident.

You were right.

We can't punish him and upset Jing'er.

But watch him closely for his intentions.

I didn't think this would get so complicated.

Though I'm not smart, I'll follow your order.

Leader, I'll watch him.

Teacher.

Sorry.

Did you change character?

I didn't think you'd plead for me.

You are my student.

Your doings implicate me.

I did it for me, not you.

Anyway, thank you.

But why'd those two brothers lure me to the peak?

Yang Guo, look.

How do you think these Brothers get on?

It looks good.

It's all fake.

Leader is very old now.

He hasn't chosen his successor.

I, ZhiBing and others fit the bill.

These disciples are muddled.

They'd drag each other down.

You're my disciple.

Whatever happens to you, I'm responsible.

We still don't know who'll lead.

So it's this complicated?

Little bastard.

Understand me now?

Do I have time to tussle with you?

My hands are full with them.

So listen to me.

Trust me, okay?

My word is final

or there's only one consequence.

Either you fool me till I die, or we die together.

I get it. Okay, I'll heed you.

Yang Guo.

You can't practise wugong openly.

Train secretly at the mountain rear.

It's quiet for wugong practice.

How's your neigong?

What's 'neigong'?

It's inner energy cultivation.

Do Foster-Dad's skills count?

I only learned a bit.

Okay. Practise first.

When your gongfu improves,

I'll pass my Quanzhen wugong to you.

Okay, I'll practise now.

- Divine Toad Skill - Mount White Camel Sect neigong

Reporting, Leader.

Yang Guo messed up.

He's practising Toad Stance.

Did you see clearly?

I did.

You told me to watch him.

He's at the mountain rear.

It was Divine Toad Skill.

I feared Ouyang Feng was nearby.

I rushed back to report.

I'm still injured.

Take Brothers to get Guo'er away from Ouyang Feng.

How do I tell Jing'er and Rong'er?

Go now.

At your command.

Yang Guo, what are you doing?

I'm practising wugong.

Rot! This isn't our wugong.

What wugong is this?

Didn't you teach me?

Bullshit!

Would I teach this?

Shut up! Give up.

Come and plead guilty to Leader.

I did nothing wrong!

Brother.

Don't quibble.

Yang Guo.

Zhao ZhiJing. I thought you turned good; you're still bad.

That dog still eats shit.

Explain yourself to Leader!

You heard him...?

He scolded his Teacher.

If I don't chastise you, I'm not human.

Brother...

Teacher!

How out of line...!

- Get him! - Yes.

Don't do anything!

Take action.

Brother, what's wrong?

Yang Guo killed someone.

- Teacher... - Brother.

I killed someone?

- Wake up, Brother. - Yang Guo.

Stop there! Catch him!

He's escaping.

- Where's he running? - Stop!

- Stop! - Yang Guo!

I'll catch you.

Stop!

What are you doing?

[Tomb of the Living Dead]

We can't pass this stone without permission.

Coward!

It's important to catch Yang Guo.

It's Leader's order. Follow me.

- Yes. - Senior! Brothers!

- Catch him. - Stop there!

Bastard. You can't run anywhere. Wanna try?

Zhao ZhiJing. Bullshit good sect!

You framed me.

My ghost will haunt you.

Bastard. About to die and backchats?!

- Take him. - Yes.

Let go!

Quickly, poison! Come back!

Quickly, come on! Hurry!

Hurry up!

Quickly! Are you okay?

H-help me.

Help me!

Child, don't fear. You're safe.

- Granny, you saved me? - Yes.

Jade Bee stings almost killed you.

I fed you Jade Bee honey to detoxify the poison.

- Here. - Thanks, Granny.

Granny, what is this place?

It's the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Tomb of the Living Dead?

Then...you...

I'm human, not a ghost.

Were those Taoists chasing you?

Granny.

Don't let them take me

or it's the end of me.

Who is your Teacher?

It's damn Taoist Zhao ZhiJing.

He keeps harming me. I hate him.

I won't let anyone bully you.

Where's your family?

My parents are dead.

I'm alone.

You suffered as a child.

I'll beat anyone who bullies you.

Granny.

My name's Sun.

Granny Sun, you're good to me.

Silly child, don't cry

or you're disobeying me.

Granny Sun, who's crying?

Miss Long.

This child's life is pitiful.

Good boy, come here.

This is Ancient Tomb Leader, Miss Long.

Call her Aunt Long. Answer her.

Yang Guo greets Long GuGu (Aunt).

Come, sit.

Why's her hand cold?

Is she a ghost?

How's a ghost so beautiful?

His bee poison settled.

Granny Sun, why is he inside?

- Miss Long. - Long GuGu.

I didn't mean to barge in.

I was forced by stupid Taoists...

Yang Guo, why'd those vile Taoists chase you?

It's like this. Uncle Guo sent me...

Luckily Granny Sun saved me

or I'd be harmed by Zhao ZhiJing.

Ridiculous.

Zhao ZhiJing is evil.

And Qiu ChuJi is unjust.

How'd your Uncle Guo leave you with vile Taoists?

Miss Long.

Help this kid get justice.

You forgot our rules?

He's fine; take him back.

I won't go back, even if I die.

His return could be his end.

Tell them not to be hard on him.

Miss, our words don't count.

Our bees poisoned Taoists; promise Jade Bee honey

so they won't ignore us.

But where will this kid sleep?

Let him stay tonight.

No. Ancient Tomb never admits strangers.

Recently that injured Taoist lay outside a few days.

Staying changes the rule; send him out.

Miss, please pity him.

Forget it, Granny Sun.

Long GuGu insists; it's useless.

Thanks for saving my life.

I'll repay you.

Fine, I'm going.

Where are you going?

This world must have a place.

Granny Sun, don't worry.

Yang Guo, I'll escort you out.

If Taoists bully you, I'll chastise them.

Let's go.

- Senior, are you okay? - Don't touch me.

- Hey, go and ask for the antidote. - Get it quickly.

Be calm. Everyone calm down.

Don't be rash.

He came out? Kill him!

- Get the antidote! - Surround him.

See what you did to me.

- Y-you ask her. - I'll ask.

Elder Sun, it's been a while.

Here's the antidote; take it with you.

Okay.

- Why's she so kind, huh, just giving it to us? - Senior.

Elder Sun, is it the real antidote?

What do you think it is?

Brat, is it poison?

- Okay, Zhao ZhiJing... - Don't believe me?

Guo'er, drink it.

Yes, Granny Sun.

Look!

It tastes so good, refreshing and non-toxic!

You bastard!

You heard him?

Guo'er, let's go.

Elder, don't go.

Forgive our suspicions; give us more antidote.

I offered you antidote.

If Quanzhen is so great, purge your own poison.

Yang Guo, let's go.

Stop!

Elder. Please leave us Yang Guo and the antidote.

I have no more antidote.

Forget my leaving this child.

You beat him in front of me.

You'll torture him.

I can't return him.

Elder, this kid is evil,

harming his teacher, breaking rules.

We strictly respect Teachers.

Lightly punishing him is reasonable.

'Harming the teacher' is false!

I'm intervening for this child.

ZhiBing, this is nonsense.

Everyone, search her for antidote.

Think you can stop me?

And me!

Take action.

Everyone, don't be rash.

Are you okay?

Don't...

'Empty Hands Entering 100 Blades'

Leader.

Leader.

What's going on?

That granny injured us.

- Let's go. - Please stop.

Granny Sun, why'd you hurt my men?

Fine, I won't argue.

Yang Guo is my disciple. Leave him and the antidote

and I'll let you go.

I'll only leave Yang Guo if you kill me.

Granny Sun, we're old neighbours.

Don't harm our amity for this kid.

I kindly brought antidote.

Your disciples mistreated me.

Qiu ChuJi, get away from Yang Guo and me.

You're so rude, don't blame me.

Leader.

Granny Sun, how are you?

I'm fine.

Quanzhen Sect is renowned.

A vile Taoist gang bullied an old woman and a kid.

How admirable.

Granny Sun.

Give us Yang Guo and the antidote;

we'll forget this happened.

Looks like today I lose.

Yang Guo. I want to protect you but can't do more.

Granny. ...You- just kill me instead.

Don't risk your life for me.

My skills can't handle yours.

I hope you let little Brother go.

'First Bow Greet Later' stance

Granny.

Wise move.

Is your injury okay?

Granny Sun.

Granny Sun.

Granny Sun.

Granny Sun. How are you, Granny Sun?

How are you, Granny Sun?

You rotten Taoists!

Just kill me if you want!

Why'd you harm Granny Sun?

Granny, how are you?

Yang Guo, move. I'll check her injury.

Get lost! You hypocrite!

Scram!

Yang Guo, you're not letting me save her!

You'll just harm her more!

You're a bad man. Get lost!

Yang Guo, how'd Leader harm her? Move!

You aren't good. Get lost!

- Granny Sun. - Seems we'll die together.

Granny Sun, you can't die.

You're no heroes, hurting a kid and an old lady.

Miss, have we met?

GuGu.

- Granny. - Are you okay?

Miss Long, I've never asked a favour.

Now I'm dying, promise me something.

You want me to take care of him?

Yes.

I beg you, care for him

- forever. - Granny...

Don't let him be harmed.

Promise me?

Look after him forever?

- Granny. - Miss, if I don't die,

I'll look after you forever.

Didn't I care for you since you were small?

I...I beg you for this.

Will you agree, Miss?

I promise you.

Granny.

You want to tell me something?

Yang Guo. Your GuGu has no-one.

- You...you... - Granny.

You take care of her...

- ..forever. You... - Granny.

Granny! Granny Sun!

Granny!

Granny.

I couldn't prevent it.

I didn't mean to kill you.

Somehow...

this sin came upon me.

This was 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.

Kill yourself, and I'll spare your men.

- Miss Long! - Big words, Miss.

Since you fear death, I'll do it.

(gold-silk gloves)

Good fight!

- Did he hurt you? - I'm fine.

Quanzhen wugong deserves its fame.

I fight no more today.

- Yang Guo, let's go. - Granny is unavenged!

Let's go.

Granny Sun.

She's dead; why cry?

I'm sad.

You only knew Granny a day.

Though I hardly knew Granny,

she treated me like family.

She died for me. Won't I cry?

She can't see you; it's pointless.

Are you even human?

How are you so cold-hearted?

Everyone dies; the day's not special.

You heart is stone.

Granny was killed by bad people.

You really shed no tears?

Finish crying; then we'll inter Granny.

Th-this...Granny.
