EPISODE 16

Think I can't tell?

You shut your eyes, didn't chew,

and swallowed a whole centipede.

That's cheating. You're no true hero.

How's eating these make you a hero?

You just don't get it.

Many reckon themselves heroes.

But not a single one

dares eat centipedes with me.

Fine, I'll eat! It won't kill me.

How is it?

It's tasty and crispy, like prawns.

I didn't lie to you!

Wine would go well.

You can't drink wine now.

It spoils the centipede flavour.

They're ready!

I'll have some!

It's good, right?

Too bad there aren't 100 more to eat.

That won't be hard.

I'll bury the chicken again.

It's no use. First,

it lost its attraction.

Second,

we ate every centipede around here.

- There are no more. - What a pity.

Little brother.

Now we've eaten,

how about a little fun?

Sounds good!

After tasty food,

viewing beautiful scenery is enjoyable.

Elder, did you come for scenery and centipedes?

You asked about that woman.

- I came here for her. - Who is she?

She's Qiu Yinong, a Jianghu she-devil.

In our youth, we had an encounter.

She's causing trouble. If I don't take action,

many in my Beggar Clan will die.

I went to stop her, and chased her here.

Why's he missing a finger?

Are you "9 Finger Wondrous Beggar", Hong Qigong?

Boy, you're knowledgeable.

What's your name?

Me? I'm unimportant.

But you have two disciples, Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

They have Wulin fame and respect.

It's ages since I ate Huang Rong's cooking.

I miss it.

I wonder if that brat Huang Rong still bullies her silly man, Guo Jing.

Actually,

no fame, no place, no status,

isn't a bad thing.

I haven't led Beggar Clan for decades; I live in freedom.

Now I spend my days as I please,

going everywhere happily.

Earlier, you woke me.

Now I'll sleep three days.

Even if the sky falls, don't wake me.

You can guard me.

Don't let wild beasts bite my head off.

Relax, Elder Hong; rest easy.

He isn't emitting heat. How can he sleep three days?

Oh, right.

He's using neigong, keeping warm inside.

He's alive but like a corpse.

His neigong is frightening.

GuGu made me sleep on Chilled Jade Bed to aim for such profound neigong.

Chilled Jade Bed, Chilled Jade Bed, Chilled Jade Bed!

Elder Hong.

So cold. He's still breathing, right?

Hong Qi, Hong Qi.

You finally showed up.

I've been waiting!

Dead?

How can you die?

I waited years to kill you myself.

How can you just die?

How can this be?!

This woman is weird.

She wanted Elder's death, but is heartbroken.

What's going on?

Elder Hong isn't dead, is he?

You think this ends it?

Dying settles everything?

Impossible, I'm telling you!

Dream on.

I'll chop you up.

I'll split you in two!

I'll feed half to fish, half to birds.

I won't let you reincarnate.

You'll never be reborn!

I promised Elder I'd protect him.

Don't move! Stay back!

What's he to you?

Why lose your life?

Not your business.

Step forward and I'll cut the rope.

Okay.

I yield for now, but I warn you,

even if you guard him,

you'll slip up. See how long you last.

Enough rot, get out!

Elder Hong.

He's really not breathing?

This chicken smells good.

Fool, want a piece?

I don't understand.

Why do you suffer for a corpse?

Just hand me the body

then go have hot soup and a good rest.

That'd be preferable.

My energy is passing with no result.

Yang Guo, why are you foolish?

Elder Hong might be dead.

I'll die of hunger in days.

No.

I told him I'd guard him.

Elder, don't worry. I'll see it through.

Hey, what's wrong?

Did you think about it?

I tell you...

My kindness has limits.

If you waste too much time,

I'll show you no mercy.

Hey, what are you're doing?!

This chasm gave me an idea. If I sever this bridge, two things can occur.

One: Hong Qi isn't dead.

He'll use his qinggong to jump.

I'd prefer that.

Two: Hong Qi is dead.

You can't jump and will fall to your death.

That's no big deal.

Hey, stop cutting!

Run!

What a big avalanche.

How is Elder Hong.

You barely survived.

What favour did he do you?

None.

I kept my word to protect him.

You're strange. Why didn't you let him be?

He made me suffer. I acted fairly.

No way.

Elder Hong is a renowned Hero.

What could he have done to you?

Renowned?

In the past, people didn't think that.

In younger days, he was a bad man

pretending to be kind.

I fell for his lies.

Thirty years ago,

Beggar Clan was fighting my Sect Brother, Jinlun.

Brother sent me to assassinate Hong Qi, not knowing I'd be set up.

Customer, your order?

- Just tea. - Okay.

How can I infiltrate Beggar Clan?

- Here's tea. - Thank you.

Miss, any spare change?

- Here, for you. - Thanks, miss! Thanks!

Spare a little change, miss! Spare a little!

Wait, wait, slow down. There's enough to go around.

Thank you, miss!

How's that? Everyone gets a share.

Thank you, Miss!

You're all welcome.

All gone.

Miss, you know wugong.

Why give beggars all your money?

As a child, I was poor

so I know what it's like.

That's why I help.

You're very kind.

Why are you staring at me?

Do you like me?

Since you think I'm kind,

do you mind helping me?

Thank you.

Miss, why do you need these worthless clothes?

Everyone has secrets.

I'm going. See you someday.

You're hungry?

I ate too many hawthorn berries.

But I have business.

So hungry.

So hungry.

Okay. You lent me your clothes.

I'll treat you to a meal.

Let's go!

Quickly!

Coming!

See, I cooked you tasty food.

Hurry and eat.

Without spending, you cooked good food.

Of course!

- This one. - Slow down.

Cooked so well.

The imperial kitchen can't compare.

You're exaggerating.

A beggar can't go there.

That's crazy talk.

Yes, I've never been there.

Try Flower Chicken.

I love eating Flower Chicken!

It's them. They stole the chicken.

Don't run, thieves! - Catch them!

Chase them!

- Hurry, run! - Quickly!

- Stop, don't run! - They're getting away!

Your wugong could've repelled them.

Harming innocents is shameful.

Anyway, we're at fault.

- You're adorable. - Sweet talker.

You're cute, and a good cook.

Whoever marries you will be lucky.

I don't think so.

I....

I'm not a good person.

Whoever marries me will have bad luck.

Bad luck?

I just thought of something.

What is it?

I'd have this bad luck.

You...!

Go on, hit me.

For this, I'd accept 1000 beatings.

The rest of my life.

We're from different worlds.

Our meeting is best forgotten.

Goodbye.

They're here.

Please sit.

Brothers.

Sit where you like.

Brothers.

Please sit.

- Stop there. - What?

- You're so clean; you're a spy. - I'm not a spy.

Men, capture this spy.

- I'm not a spy. - You are a spy!

- I'm really not! Really. - Shh.

Chie-

You're hard to find.

Come with me.

Let's go.

Who's that?

What are you doing?

What's that you're using?

Stop rubbing it on my cheeks; it hurts.

It was hard to put on dirty clothes.

Why am I dirty now?

That was the problem.

Do you know how they spotted you?

- I don't know. - You're too clean.

No Beggar is that clean.

What about you? You're pretty clean.

You're in the Clan. Why help me?

Don't you fear I'll harm Beggar Clan?

You wouldn't.

Why not?

I have a third eye for this.

I can tell you're a good person.

Take this.

Keep it; you look like a Beggar.

I won't mislead you.

Thank you.

Hey. Have you seen Chief?

A few times. You haven't?

- Are you a newcomer? - Yes.

No big deal.

Chief is a good person.

He's strong, and takes care of us.

Once you see him, you'll know.

It's him. This is bad.

Should I still kill him?

Greetings to Clan Chief.

Please rise.

I got the current status report.

I'll attend to it quickly.

Also...

are there any changes to the proposed mission?

I'll respond.

Some beggars aren't Clan members.

I instructed Section Leaders to count members

by lining them up for checking.

Beggar Clan Brothers, line up.

Who are you?

Someone intends ill.

Men, arrest her.

Stop!

From now on, Beggar Clan

is forbidden to harm this lady.

But, Chief, she could be spying.

How can you protect a stranger?

I made my decision.

Don't argue.

Everyone must accept this.

Everyone accepts.

It's accepted.

So you're Hong Qi.

Are you disappointed?

Did you know I came to kill you?

That crossed my mind.

So why are you doing this?

From the time I became Chief,

I've been circumspect.

I don't know why, now,

I want to give it a try...

whether it's good or bad.

On guard!

I'm no match for you.

I'm leaving.

Miss!

Clarifying right or wrong is up to you.

You have a good heart.

From now on, keep to the right path.

Miss.

I'll be waiting for the day you return.

(High Monk Jinlun - Mongolia)

(Sect Brother Long Jiu)

You really want to leave our Order?

Yes.

I no longer want to kill.

You know our Order's rules

and what happens next.

I know.

Okay.

You chose. I won't deny you.

- Begin. - Yes!

Sister disciple, don't do this.

Senior Brother.

Brother, have mercy.

Sister did much for our Order.

Can't you turn a blind eye

and let her go.

From this day forth,

can you keep our Order's secrets?

I can.

Brother.

Go.

Thank you, Brother.

Sister.

Come.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

It's years since such an event.

Miss, why are you here?

I'm here for Chief Hong Qi.

You must wait a few days.

Why?

Chief is marrying a Clan Leader's daughter.

He's busy with formalities.

He hasn't time to see you.

What did you say?

He... is marrying?

Miss, what's wrong?

It's nothing, nothing...

Alright. Okay.

Miss, wait a few days.

From then, I realized

this world's bitter reality.

Emotions can be terrifying.

Then who saved you?

I woke deaf and blind.

One person stayed with me, caring for me.

Two months later, I recovered.

That person was my admirer, Brother Long Jiu.

Then I realised the distant peach blossom is beautiful

because it is a treasure above all.

That's a truth of life.

Isn't that a blessing?

Why do you hate Elder Hong?

Of course I hate him.

He destroyed my love

and ruined my wedding.

After Long Jiu cared for me for months,

we were getting married.

But the night before the ceremony,

my Senior Brother Jinlun returned.

Brother, Sister.

You didn't invite me to your marriage.

Greetings, Brother.

Ungrateful Long Jiu. For you, I spared Yinong.

I never imagined she left the Order to elope with you.

Brother.

Long Jiu and I just want normal lives.

Please forgive us.

One can't truly leave Jianghu, but you two tired of killing.

Did you ever think I lost two companions?

How do I fill this void?

Then what do you want?

Brother.

Sister.

Since your hearts are set on it,

I won't stop you.

But right now, Song, Liao, Jin (*warring states)

are about to clash.

It's difficult for our Order not to get involved.

Can you ignore this?

Brother, you mean...?

I want you two to go to Song...

and intercept their communications.

If you two succeed,

I'll no longer stand in your way.

Alright.

The sooner, the better.

If Brother hunts us, we'll never be safe.

You and I could live in peace.

Long Jiu understands.

Come with me.

Long Jiu!

Everything will be fine.

I felt a sense of foreboding.

My fears were soon realized.

Hong Qi!

Long Jiu!

Long Jiu!

Long Jiu.

Sorry...I can't stay by your side.

Long Jiu...

Long Jiu, wake up.

He was spying on Song meetings.

I had no choice.

Just listen to you.

Will you kill me too?

I wasn't strong enough then to kill him.

I trained day and night for vengeance.

But as my skills grew stronger, so did his.

In the end, I lost to him.

I knew he could've killed me

but he let me go to torment me.

I waited 20 years.

My gongfu advanced.

But he disappeared from sight.

If I hadn't done terrible things,

how else could I lure out this so-called "hero"?

You have my sympathies

but Elder Hong is righteous.

How else could he treat a spy?

Just let him walk away?

Why are you blaming him?

You went too far.

Your logic stinks.

Hong Qigong affronted me

and murdered my betrothed.

I must chop him up to ease my pain.

The avalanche has stopped.

I'll find his corpse and cut it up.

I won't allow you to defile his body.

You used two strange terms,

"won't allow", "defile".

What's your plan to stop me defiling his corpse?

You!

Little brother, you're trustworthy.

Elder Hong, you're awake!

Your nap caused a mess!

Actually...

I was awake when she cut the rope.

But I wanted to appraise you.

I got the right guy.

Elder, I'm just glad you're alright.

On guard!

Stop!

I won't fight you.

Since I can't defeat you,

I'll slaughter innocents,

and plunder, and it's on your head.

Where can you run?

Elder Hong, you're amazing.

You'll end up falling too.

If I can settle this debt, I'll be satisfied.

You hate me?

I hate you to the bone.

Let's end it; we'll die together

so you don't cause harm.

Good, you said it.

Elder Hong, grab it!

You still pretend to be kind.

Hong Qi, you misjudge me.

If I can't have revenge,

I'd rather die.

Yinong!
