EPISODE 13

Teacher, where are you going?

She...

A brothel is taboo.

We sneaked out to buy herbs.

If Zhao finds out, we're in big trouble.

- No, it's not right. - Let's go.

Go quickly.

Miss, first learn how to drink tea.

Is there a reason?

Try my tea to compare it.

It's fragrant.

Yes, it is.

It's very sweet.

Yes, it is.

Why'd Miss Long go in there? Is she in danger?

Probably not; her wugong is advanced.

- No. - Halt.

Miss Long is naive; she'll be tricked.

I can't do nothing.

Teacher! Where are you going?

Let's go.

Get them!

Good Heavens!

How dare you sneak outside?

You're so brave.

Where's Zhen ZhiBing?

He...

Talk, or take the blame.

Be quiet! Everyone, listen.

Joyfully, after a long time,

we present a beautiful girl.

Take a look now and consider.

She's a beauty.

For the right price, this virgin is yours,

from 50 taels starting bid.

- I bid 100 taels. - How generous; this beauty is yours.

Why'd you coerce her?

Who are you?

- Men, beat him! - Yes. Attack!

Miss Long.

Don't touch my girl.

Let her go! Don't take her.

Oh god, she's just flying away?

Did a Taoist come in here?

A Taoist snatched my girl and beat my men.

Now more Taoists came?

I'll fight you.

That lewd Taoist.

- What are you doing? - Don't misunderstand.

Someone drugged you last night; I saved you.

Drink tea.

What's going on?

That extreme lady boss sold you off.

Luckily I came in time.

I wanted to learn life down the mountain.

Why'd you want that?

Guo'er likes life outside, yet stays with me. It's for him.

Your Teacher-student bond is good.

He and I aren't just Teacher and disciple.

So Miss Long and Yang Guo...

Why am I thinking blindly? If she's happy, it's fine.

I can't learn to live outside.

What life do you want to learn?

Guo'er likes chess; I want to learn chess, and to get on with others.

People outside thought I was crazy.

Chess isn't hard to learn.

I can teach you.

- Really? - Really.

I thought Quanzhen had no-one good.

- You're not bad. - I'm alright.

Let's start chess.

Okay, let's play.

You learned fast.

Chess is fun. No wonder Guo'er likes it.

It's late. Guo'er will worry.

You taught well. Teach me tomorrow?

Is it a bother?

No, no bother; I'm free.

Thank you.

Xiangqi - Chinese Chess

How amazing, right?

I won. Give me the money.

- It's raining. - Come again tomorrow.

Hey, hey... hey, Boss.

Eh, I say...

Little brother, it's raining.

Aren't you going home? Play another day.

Where'll I go? I have no home.

We're in the same situation.

Because I like to play chess,

my wife kicked me out.

The rain is heavy.

Wife.

Drink the soup or I'll pour it out.

Wife, you're not mad at me?

You drive me mad!

Just because I said don't come home, you didn't!

- If I forbid chess, do you listen?! - Wife.

I was wrong.

- Have soup! - Okay, I will.

Little brother, try my wife's soup.

I'll use this bowl.

It's so fresh.

Women don't mean what they say.

She dotes on you.

Won't she nag or scold you because she cares?

Or else she'd ignore you.

Drink up.

He's right.

GuGu loves me and bothers about me.

Is she worried I ran out?

How can't I know her heart?

Boss. I'm going.

Where are you going?

I'm off home! Someone's waiting for me!

Don't worry about me.

Take your time with your soup.

You worked hard.

Have a sip.

Did you see my son?

You really didn't see my son?

No, we didn't see him.

GuGu!

- GuGu. - You're back.

How'd you know I was coming?

I didn't; I just thought you'd be back.

I have a surprise for you.

Let's go.

There's a chess board?

- I bought it down-mountain. - You? - Yes. - Down-mountain?

- I can buy things and play chess. Let's play. - Okay.

You're soaked. I'll boil water for your bath.

GuGu.

I won't go down-mountain.

Why? It's fun there.

I can go with you.

GuGu, I finally know it's unimportant where we go.

Happiness is being with the one I like.

- I'll get you hot water. - Okay.

GuGu, don't worry; I'll never hurt you again.

I will surely make you happy.

- Brother Zhao. - Brother.

You had a late night out.

- I... - Was the brothel fun?

You're mistaken.

- I got herbs for Leader... - Got herbs?!

- I... - You got herbs before the brothel.

Bring him out!

Hurry up.

Be honest.

Teacher.

He confessed.

He said you went to the brothel.

If you deny it, he falsely accused you.

His unauthorised trip with you was a crime.

How will we punish him?

It's 100 strokes of the cane.

100 cane strokes will kill you. You won't survive.

Teacher, save me.

Zhao ZhiJing, don't be a vicious bully.

Vicious bully? Did you sin or I?

Did I falsely accuse you? You left secretly.

Did you think I wouldn't take action?

But Leader is ill and there was no medicine.

You purchased none so I got it.

Okay.

Okay.

Then, in front of your Brothers,

I'll give you a chance.

Will you stand up for your students

or protect yourself?

Zhao ZhiJing is poisonous. If I deny the brothel visit,

he'll punish my students.

But if I admit it, he'll get rid of me.

What do I do?

Brother Zhen, it's okay.

We go way back. If you deny it, I'll believe you.

Then I'll beat them to death for being guilty.

Thrash him!

Teacher! Help me!

Stop!

Don't harm innocents.

It was all my idea; and I went to the brothel alone.

You all heard?

Zhen ZhiBing admitted it.

That's good.

- Restrain him. - Yes.

Guard him till Leader judges him.

Yes. Let's go.

Zhao ZhiJing, don't be too happy; Leader will release us.

Okay, Brother.

Wait for Leader's judgement.

Take him away.

Leader will release you?

It's daylight. Will Miss Long wait for me at the summit?

What if I can't go there?

Will she be disappointed?

Teacher. What is it?

I need to go out.

Senior Zhen.

Senior, leave now; you're not guilty.

You can't leave if you wait.

Let's go.

- Teacher, you can't go. - Why not?

Leader is still ill; Zhao ZhiJing is in charge.

He'll say you ran in guilt; you won't get cleared.

No-one will dare help you.

Maybe ZhiJing got him to lure you out.

It's better to wait for Leader, then prove our innocence.

You make sense, but...

Miss Long wants to learn outside life for Yang Guo.

If I don't show up,

will she fall into another dire situation?

I can't let anything happen to her.

I can't.

Teacher!

Guo'er, what are you doing?

Nothing.

What are you hiding? Show me.

Catch me first.

I taught you gongfu; I'll get you!

You dropped your object.

My carving doesn't resemble us; I'll throw it away.

Don't. I like it.

You like it?

Then we must be like them forever.

That depends on your gongfu!

Bring it on.

Think I fear you? I can't catch you?

I'm stupid; they're a perfect couple.

Why can't I let go?

I never thought you'd run away, violating our rules,

escaping your sin.

I can execute you.

Who ran away?

ZhiJing, don't slander me.

He's mad. Capture this traitor.

Brother Zhen, don't blame me.

You're stupid to fight me.

You'll be a stupid ghost.

Don't look for help.

I'll execute you.

Kill my son? Not so easy.

I'll take on each one of you.

Where'd this lunatic come from? Attack.

Senior, stop.

Who are you? Why'd you interfere with Quanzhen?

Son!

Son! I finally found you.

Are you okay?

Did they bully you?

Don't worry; Dad's here.

I'll kill every one!

Senior. You got the wrong person.

Wrong person?

Son, open your eyes.

I'm your Dad. I can't be wrong. Son.

I'm not your son, Senior.

Then who am I?

- Who am I? - Brother Zhao.

Brother Zhao.

- Bad news. - What?

Leader is dead.

Who am I? Why am I here?

- When? - Moments ago. When I took him food, there was no response.

I checked; Leader wasn't breathing.

Brothers, go back immediately!

- Leader! - Wait!

Son, you lied. You're my son.

I'm really not.

Okay. Where's this place?

It's Mount Zhongnan.

- Mount Zhongnan? - Yes. - Right, I know.

They said my son is at Mount Zhongnan.

Son, I found you at last.

Senior! Stay calm.

Thanks for saving me; I'm not your son.

I don't know where he is.

My Leader may be dead.

I hope you find your son.

Sorry...I'm going.

He's not my son? Son!

Teacher.

You go.

I want time with Leader.

Yes.

Leader.

Leader.

Leader.

Leader, you finally died!

Okay, Leader.

Look here.

I'm the only disciple with you.

I know you don't like me.

However hard I work or learn,

you don't like me.

You only like your precious ZhiBing.

I'm informing you ZhiBing broke rules.

He's locked up.

Leader, look.

Now Quanzhen is led by me,

I want everything.

All you talented Quanzhen Leaders

can watch me from Hell in despair.

Leader.

Do you want to hear

my plans when I'm Quanzhen Leader?

I'll do three things.

First, execute your Zhen ZhiBing.

He'll keep you company; you won't be lonely.

You'll both see me laughing at my power.

Second, I'll change damn Quanzhen rules.

We can't have meat or women? I'll change that!

We're pugilists, not real monks.

Those are stinky rules unsuited for humans.

I'm no hypocrite like you.

Third...

I'll change teaching methods.

I'll beat anyone who disobeys me.

Only those obeying me can remain.

Unlike you, I won't make members compete with each other.

Is that meaningful? No way!

Everyone will be united under my orders.

Don't you find this interesting?

I find it very interesting.

Don't come near.

You bastard!

Stay back.

Leader, you're not dead.

I pretended death on purpose.

I finally heard your heart.

I thought you were only selfish.

You'd betray the Sect, vile disciple!

Leader, I was wrong.

Leader, show mercy.

Show mercy.

His punishment is finished.

Zhao ZhiJing.

Leader.

I'll spare you on behalf of your Teacher.

If you don't repent, and keep stirring up trouble,

I'll enforce our severest penalty.

At that time, don't think of living.

Understand?

Thank you, Leader, for not killing me. I won't reoffend.

I don't want to see you. Go.

Teacher.

Everybody else go too.

Yes, Leader.

ZhiBing, stay behind.

Leader.

Do you know why I put on this act?

You tested our hearts?

You're wrong.

I did this to show you to be aware of people's motives.

I'll take it to heart.

I am already old.

I intend to groom you as future Leader. What do you think?

Leader. This...

Why are you hesitant? Any concerns?

Miss Long has Yang Guo. I have no hope

though I love her.

If I give up, I might feel relief.

ZhiBing.

What are you thinking?

I obey Leader's orders.

Okay.

I'll wait for a good day to announce this.

Yes.

Brother, your technique is still lacking.

Train more.

Okay.

Look, ZhiJing survived.

What are you saying?

Rubbing salt in my wounds?

Come here. Quickly!

Let's go.

Scoundrels.

Brother Zhen.

- Brother Zhen. - Don't come near.

I won't talk to you.

Brother, please stop.

Brother. I know you're satisfied.

You scorn me but I want to ask forgiveness

and humbly make amends.

May I?

You're aware you're to blame.

That's right.

It was all my fault.

I won't err again.

Brother, come.

I paid the penalty today...

Brother.

I won't slip again.

Come. I hope you forgive me.

You're now my role model.

You fear poison?

There's no poison.

Zhen ZhiBing!

You're smug now, and despise me.

I went against natural behaviour to oppose you.

I envy you how good you are. You're remarkable.

You became Quanzhen Leader's student.

Without trying, you became Leader's favourite

and his choice for Leader.

And me? I can't match up.

I was an orphan. I suffered growing up here.

I worked ten times harder than anyone.

Brother, my Xiao Cui is dead.

I grieved alone, afraid to tell anyone.

I loved Xiao Cui. I'm like you.

You like Xiao Long Nu!

I know you like her.

You drew a picture of Xiao Long Nu, but it's okay.

Nobody gossips about you.

Even Leader put on an act for you.

How can I compete with you?

How can you cruelly scorn me?

Brother, say no more.

I didn't know you hold so much hatred.

No.

What use is hatred now?

I only ask to live like a human.

Give me a chance, okay?

Sect Brother.

What are you doing? Get up.

I didn't misjudge you.

Drink to comfort me?

I hope you reform.

I won't make it hard on you.

Teacher, it's all ready for patrol.

Here.

The wine had no poison, but the bowl did.

Can you control that aphrodisiac? Take care.

Teacher.

Teacher, what's wrong?

I don't know but it's insufferable.

My face is hot, my chest is tight.

Did you exhaust yourself?

Rest; we'll keep watch.

Okay.

Come.

Slowly.

Go now.

Let's patrol. Come on.

Hey! Rotten lass.

Did you see my son?

Are you dumb?

What's going on?

Dad!

- Who are you? - Dad!

- Dad! - Get down.

- Who are you? - I'm your son, Guo'er.

- Guo'er, my son? - Yes.

It's really Guo'er?

Of course.

- Guo'er?! - Yes, Dad!

Dad, it's good to see you.

- I'm so happy. - I miss you to death.

Dad, it's great you know me.

Rascal, I looked hard for you.

- I know. I'm glad to see you. - I'm glad to see you.

When I left Peach Blossom Isle, where'd you go?

Don't ask. I looked for you on the Isle.

I met two rotten guys.

They said you went to Mount Zhongnan, so I went to Chongyang Palace.

But they denied seeing you.

Anyway, I found my boy.

- Remember Toad Skill? - Sure. Dad, I'll introduce you.

GuGu is my Teacher.

GuGu?

I don't see you in days; how's this lass your Teacher?

GuGu, he's my Foster-Dad.

Rotten rascal.

She's your Teacher? I'm not good enough?

No, Dad, that's not it.

- Only I must teach you. - No, GuGu treats me well.

She's good; I'm not?

No. The ones nice to me are only GuGu and you.

You have principles.

Be filial; I'll teach you two big skills.

Two? What are they?

You don't know?

What's her use as a Teacher?

I'll teach you. The two big skills...

Explaining is a bother.

I'll show you.

That lass can't see it.

She won't peek.

Sure; your wugong isn't rare.

No. Train elsewhere.

- No, my GuGu still... - Let's go.

Guo'er.

('Bone Penetrating' acupoint sealing - mute & immobilised)

I won't let you see.

- Dad, are we going? - Coming.

How was it?

You have potential to learn.

There are two great skills.

First, 9-Yin True Classic.

Second, Toad Skill.

Let's go slowly.

I'll teach you Toad Skill.

Dad, I learned it as a kid.

I taught you?

Fine. Show me what I taught.

Okay.

- How is it? - Rascal, you improved.

But your power wasn't right.

Okay, I'll give you tips.

Listen carefully.

- Your power will expand 10 to 100 times. - Okay.

Guo'er, is that you?

Why are you doing this to me?
