EPISODE 10

Place Granny in the stone coffin.

Okay.

Long GuGu, this here...

Granny Sun, sleep in peace.

Long GuGu, I want a last look.

Okay?

Granny Sun, I'm leaving.

Long GuGu.

Long GuGu.

Long GuGu.

This one, and that one

are whose?

Founder sleeps here.

My Teacher sleeps there.

H-how about those two?

One's for Sister Li Mochou; one's mine.

Li Mochou?

That witch Li Mochou will return here?

Teacher planned it.

I think Sister will return.

But we're one coffin short.

- Who for? - You, of course.

Teacher didn't plan for you.

I surely won't need it

so you needn't get me one.

I promised to care for you forever.

You and I will never leave.

You can't be so sure.

If you don't let me go,

I can wait till you die.

You're older; you'll die first.

Since I'll care for you always, I won't die before you.

Are you sure you'll outlive me?

Before I die, I'll kill you.

This...

Granny Sun gave me your care.

Then it's best we die together, ending our obligation.

You're scared?

Who says I'm afraid?

Okay, let's go.

Long GuGu.

Sleep here.

Here?

Afraid?

Who says I'm afraid?

I...I slept in all kinds of places.

Easy!

That's good. Sleep early.

GuGu. Don't extinguish the lights.

- You fear the dark? - Who says so?

I'm only afraid... the dark is inconvenient.

In the night, I may knock my head.

GuGu.

Don't close the door.

This Tomb is amazing!

I'm rich...

I'll eat and drink the best.

N-n-no! This...

Help me!

Help me!

GuGu!

Help me, GuGu.

GuGu.

Strange. Why's this tempt others?

GuGu, you misunderstood.

I wanted to swap this for lights and beds and things

to decorate the Tomb.

It's unnecessary; I won't notice it.

Or I can buy you face powder

and blush and stuff.

No-one sees me in the Tomb.

No, I...

Taking without asking is stealing.

GuGu, I was wrong. Let me off.

I won't do it again, GuGu.

This is your punishment.

You can't always be lucky.

How long will you lock me up?

When I decide, I'll tell you.

You're leaving me here?

You're like those bad Taoists.

Be quiet and reflect.

Don't go!

I know I'm wrong, GuGu!

- GuGu. - Did you reflect?

I did.

I was wrong.

I won't do it again.

Okay. I'll release you.

- Let me go. - Where are you going?

I'm leaving this dump.

I'll take care of you.

Who needs you?

You mind staying?

I don't want to stay.

How'd I run from bad to worse?!

Stay away; I'm young.

'Orchid Shoots Back' stance

GuGu.

- Are you okay? - Fine.

GuGu.

Long GuGu, are you okay?

Are you okay?

It's only a scratch.

I ran away. Why'd you find me?

I promised to care for you.

I kept my word.

What if that panther overpowered you?

Dying wouldn't matter.

I kept my promise.

Granny Sun can rest in peace.

GuGu.

What are you doing?

Only Uncle Guo and Foster-Dad were good to me before now.

Who's good to you?

I saved you for Granny Sun.

I'm spanking you for not heeding me.

- See if you do this again. - GuGu!

Do you ever learn?

I just realised you're good to me.

I won't mess up again.

Who's good to you? I'll never love or hate.

How can unfeeling people like you exist?

I won't debate it.

Will you join Ancient Tomb sect?

If yes, you can't leave Mount Zhongnan.

If no, I'll escort you out, and you can't re-enter the Tomb.

I'll join you.

Let's go.

You can make me your Teacher

- and always heed me. - Yes.

Don't agree so fast.

Even if I'm not your Teacher, I'll teach you wugong.

When you defeat me, you may leave.

Of course you're my Teacher.

If you pass only a drop of skills, I'll still heed you.

You're so good to me. Won't I heed you?

Don't mention how I treat you.

I get it.

Now I'm your Teacher,

bow to our Founder.

GuGu.

Why's Founder look young?

It was drawn before she aged.

Why aren't you bowing?

I'll kowtow.

Beside her is my Teacher's portrait. Kowtow to her.

Okay.

Okay, rise.

Spit at that Taoist's painting.

GuGu.

Who's he? Why must I spit?

He's Quanzhen Sect Founder. Ancient Tomb has a rule.

Bow to Founder; spit at him.

Alright, it's a good rule.

This is a Quanzhen Taoist so once isn't enough.

He needs more spits.

Enough.

Yang Guo.

GuGu.

Did Founder hate this damn Taoist?

Yes.

Why'd she hang his drawing

and not tear it up?!

I don't know why.

Teacher told Granny Sun

not one good man exists.

You too.

I'll punish you if you do wrong.

GuGu, don't worry.

I'm a very good boy

but if I make a tiny mistake,

you'll forgive me, right?

You're so glib.

- Pay your Teacher respects. - GuGu, I must pay respects,

but before I do,

promise me something, or I won't.

What will a Teacher heed a student?

I value you as my Teacher; I'll obey you.

But I won't call you Teacher, just GuGu.

Why?

I called that damn Taoist "Teacher".

He was bad; I curse him, so...

I'll call you GuGu to avoid insult.

Okay, I agree.

That's good.

Disciple Yang Guo respects Teacher Xiao Long Nu GuGu.

I will always obey Long GuGu.

I'll take care of GuGu.

If GuGu is in danger,

I'll protect GuGu to my utmost.

If someone insults GuGu, I'll kill him!

If GuGu...

Enough. Get up.

This is great.

I'm an Ancient Tomb member.

I won't fear damn Taoists.

Why be so happy?

I can't beat Qiu ChuJi.

GuGu.

You'll teach me wugong; I'm happy.

Learning wugong is useless

but there's nothing else to do.

Guo'er, come with me.

Sleep in my room from now on.

Sleep?

GuGu.

Sleep here.

Here?

No, GuGu. This is too...

You're already disobeying me?

I'll heed you.

I'll listen to you.

It's too icy to sleep here.

You won't? Many pugilists covet this bed.

Isn't this torture?

Torture? I'm treating you well.

So ungrateful.

I'll sleep on it.

It's too cold...

GuGu, if I'm on your bed,

where will you sleep?

Don't worry.

GuGu, you're amazing.

Such a thin rope to sleep on?

Teach me that.

This skill is nothing.

If you sleep on that bed for a year, you can do this.

Me? GuGu, what's good about this icy bed?

It's called Chilled Jade Bed.

Founder spent seven years in the North Plains,

excavating ice to find it.

Pugilists covet this bed; I didn't lie.

Sleeping on it aids neigong.

One year sleeping on it equals 10 years' practice.

So this Chilled Jade Bed has benefits!

GuGu, how do I cultivate neigong?

This bed is very cold.

Circulate chi to oppose its cold; it will become natural.

During sleep, neigong improves.

Practice opposes natural flow

because chi and blood mix against the norm.

A normal person practising neigong still needs a few hours sleep

so chi built in the day isn't wasted.

Sleeping on it enhances progress.

This Chilled Jade Bed is powerful!

And there's another benefit.

What is it?

It's vital to avoid fire deviation.

This chilled bed is most yin;

it cools fire in your heart.

That means faster progress than normal.

I'll teach you to combat the cold.

GuGu.

Don't think too much.

GuGu.

You didn't leave my side.

Focus. We'll train tomorrow.

GuGu.

It's beautiful here.

Let's practise wugong here.

Great!

It's your turn.

Me? How?

Focus and move your hand fast.

Okay, let me try.

GuGu. I caught it!

Catch another.

Catch another.

Continue.

GuGu.

I practised half an hour. Let me rest.

Tired already? How will you do well?

GuGu.

In 2 days here, I only ate honey.

It tastes nice but we need to eat.

Eating ginseng won't work either.

You mean you want food?

GuGu.

Didn't you and Granny eat?

Granny died; there's no-one to cook rice.

There's rice? No cook?

Say so sooner! I can cook!

Take me to the rice. I'm starving.

GuGu, try this.

How is it?

It's a new taste. It's good.

Of course! It was easy.

I cooked well with basics.

Having so few ingredients is a pity.

I want to cook GuGu a good meal.

My talents are wasted!

I eat light foods, not fancy meals.

GuGu.

Vegetarian meals digest well

but all-vegetarian weakens you.

Practising our wugong needs ascetism and calm.

You can't eat meat.

Yes, GuGu.

GuGu, I'll learn wugong diligently

and cook nice vego meals to repay you.

Eat; we'll go to Chongyang Palace.

Chongyang Palace?

Why are we going there?

Unless he gets bee antidote today,

that Taoist won't live.

So what if he dies.

He bullied me daily.

I'm finished. Let's go.

GuGu.

Zhao ZhiJing is bad; let him die.

He doesn't deserve to die.

And he was your Teacher.

He suffered enough from bee poison.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Disarm!

Why's Miss Long here today?

Guo'er, give him this antidote.

I was never returning to this dump even in a palanquin.

But my GuGu is generous

and saving your pathetic life!

I reluctantly came along.

I have two announcements.

First, I became a disciple of invincible Ancient Tomb Sect!

Second...

my Teacher is heavenly beauty, Xiao Long Nu!

Hear that, Zhen ZhiBing?

What's this outrage?!

I'll fight you till I die!

Teacher.

Give me the antidote.

Zhao ZhiJing. I sever my ties with you.

You're not my Teacher; I'm not your student. Get it?

Give me the antidote!

Antidote?

Give me the antidote, bastard!

GuGu, see. You kindly offered it to him

and he scolded me.

You don't know good intentions!

Guo'er, give him the antidote. Let's go.

Here.

Miss Long, please wait.

Teacher.

Thanks for the antidote

but Leader is absent.

So wait for Leader's return.

Why'd I wait for him?

He must clear up Yang Guo's status.

I told you clearly.

I cut ties with Quanzhen.

Why wait for Head Taoist?

Seriously. GuGu, let's go.

Stop there.

You want to leave?

Think you can come and go?

It's not so easy.

Brother, don't.

- Damn Taoist, what are you doing? - Don't fuss.

Don't stop me.

Teacher.

Guo'er, focus energy, strike quickly.

I'll beat you...!

Teacher.

Teacher!

Teacher, how are you?

Stop them!

Little bastard!

Zhen ZhiBing, it's all your fault.

GuGu, your teaching is amazing!

Zhao ZhiJing charged; I stepped on his foot.

I elbowed him, he kicked;

then I threw him aside.

I easily put him on the ground.

GuGu, how useless he looked!

You can't let him fall that way.

GuGu, that rotten Zhao ZhiJing

bullied and harmed me.

I just taught him a lesson.

I was easy on him.

I meant you should let him fall on his own.

If I do nothing, how can he fall?

Pretend I'm you; you're ZhiJing hitting out.

I'll start.

GuGu, that's great! Teach me?

You must catch more butterflies before learning new gongfu.

GuGu, I can catch butterflies.

You can catch them singly but not all at once.

If I work hard, I can do anything.

GuGu, I'll practise now.

'Palm of Infinity Web'

Don't leave!

I got you!

He's not here training. Where'd he go?

Never mind, it's fine. He bugs me every day.

GuGu, how'd you see me hiding?

- This is loud. - Oh right.

You're messy; turn.

GuGu, you're getting smarter.

I'm not smart; you're stupid.

You always come here.

How many butterflies did you get?

Look!

- None! - So poor?

- GuGu, what's today? - What is it?

I won't tell you. Think hard.

Guo'er, where are you?

Guo'er.

Guo'er.

Guo'er...

Four years ago I became your disciple.

I'm alive because of you.

You were a worrisome kid.

I'm no kid now! I'm a man!

I can fly with you! Look!

Guo'er, you're talented and smart.

- Your progress is great. - Really?

It's time to trounce those Taoists!

Your wugong might beat ZhiJing

but it's far below Qiu ChuJi.

No worries; if I practise, he won't be my match.

GuGu, our wugong is stronger than theirs.

It's not that easy.

Weaker wugong isn't preventing my beating Qiu ChuJi.

I lack our highest wugong.

What's that wugong?

Is it hard?

Come with me.

This room is a strange shape.

Wang ChongYang owned the Tomb.

He practised wugong here.

The walls record his skills.

Founder Lin's skills are beneath.

When she discovered his skills here,

she developed counter-moves to his.

ChuJi and ZhiJing's gongfu can't match ChongYang's.

If we learn Founder's skills,

we can defeat damn Quanzhen.

That's true

but no-one can help me with her neigong.

Now you have me to help!

You aren't good enough.

Founder's Jade Heart neigong needs two people at once.

Founder practised with my Teacher, but died.

My Teacher didn't complete it.

I can practise with you.

We'll see.

First step, you learn Tomb kungfu.

Second, we learn Quanzhen skills.

Third, we master Jade Heart to counter Quanzhen.

I was 14 when Teacher died.

I'd learned Tomb wugong and begun Quanzhen skills.

Jade Heart wasn't mentioned.

First, I teach you.

Second and third steps, we'll study together.

Quanzhen skills are hard to learn.

There are stances but no formulae.

My teacher didn't progress much, nor did I.

We'll capture a Taoist, put a knife to his throat,

and force formulae out of him.

I wanted to steal Quanzhen formulae

but Teacher said it'd be despicable.

Wait. Quanzhen formulae...

Quanzhen formulae? I remember...

"Begin Tao practice with 9 acupoints."

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

How do you know?

ZhiJing feared being accused of teaching me nothing,

but feared my learning kungfu.

So he only taught formulae. Eh, it came in handy.

- That's great. Let's train. - Okay!

Guo'er.

Your Quanzhen Sword skill improved.

Thanks to your hard work.

We must thank Zhao ZhiJing.

If he hadn't passed you formulae,

we couldn't learn ChongYang's wugong.

His trick backfired; he'd be angry to find out.

We mastered Quanzhen Sword.

- Let's learn Jade Sword tomorrow. - Good!

I obey, GuGu!

[ Jade Maiden Sword ]

Good swordplay!

Jade Sword neutralises Quanzhen Sword.

Every stance stops Quanzhen Sword.

Though Jade Sword is powerful,

neigong is still needed.

But...

But what?

My Teacher said

two people must practise Jade Heart.

I planned to practise with you

but...

If only you were a girl.

What difference does it make?

I can pretend to be a maiden.

Look at the wall carving.

Why are they naked?

The body emits great heat in Jade Heart practice.

A secluded place is needed to be naked

to disperse heat quickly.

Obstructions cause severe injury or death.

But we're the opposite sex, how can we do that?

In that case...

We can use Chilled Jade bed

with a curtain between us.

We can't.

If chill forces heat back into our bodies,

we can destroy our meridians.

Can't do this, can't do that.

Let's practise alone, then discuss it.

No.

Every Jade Heart step is difficult,

with a chance of going wrong.

We could fire deviate alone.

Two people support each other.

I know where to go!

Let's go.

GuGu, look.

This place is full of mist.

Nothing can disrupt us.

We can sit in decency, touching hands to feel chi.

GuGu, isn't this good?

This is perfect.

But Jade Manual says in two-person practice,

one must Yin Jin (force yin to limit), the other must Yang Tui (draw back yang).

The Yang Tui person may rest

but Yin Jin must be pauseless,

without interruption,

or the outcome is dire.

I'll start Yin Jin tonight.

Monitor me closely.

Brother Zhao.

Aren't you trying to be best

to take over Leader's role?

It's fine with me.

But why treat me as an enemy?

You even said that aloud.
