EPISODE 19

Fu'er.

Mom.

You didn't eat at dinner.

Did the Wu boys upset you?

No.

Did Guo'er make you unhappy?

Mom.

I'm sick of hearing about Guo'er.

Who mentioned Guo'er?

Big Wu, Little Wu?

Do you hate Guo'er?

Yes.

Dad always favoured him more.

So arrogant.

It seems he has no merit.

So after he left the Isle, why'd you often ask about him?

I just pitied him.

How'd I like such a boy?

Really?

You might fool the Wu boys, but you don't mean it.

Guo'er is handsome and clever,

and stronger than the Wu's.

You'd be happier with him.

But he's arrogant and stubborn.

It's hard to get him to adore you like the Wu's.

And he lacks a good background.

Others dislike him, yet you can't bear to see him go.

Don't you think so?

Mom.

How can you say that?

We can't tell you who to like.

But your pushiness will scare off Guo'er and the Wu's.

How'd they dare?

Let your future happen naturally.

Mom, are you passing leadership to Lu Youjiao tomorrow?

Yes. My health is worse.

I must let that duty go.

If somebody married you, I'd feel better.

Mom.

Brothers, I pass Beggar Clan leadership to Lu Youjiao.

Any objections?

No objections! No objections!

Good, I pass the position to Lu Youjiao.

Now he's Chief Lu.

From today, he's Clan Chief.

Brothers, Lu Youjiao is 20th successor.

Aid Chief Lu to bring glory to Beggar Clan.

Share wealth, shoulder burdens together!

Now the ceremony for new Chief begins.

- This is fun. - What's it mean?

- Isn't it weird? - Shut up.

It's a Beggar Clan rule.

A new Chief undergoes the spitting ceremony,

first, to preserve tradition;

second, once a beggar, always a beggar.

The new Chief first accepts humiliation from Brothers.

Chief Lu, please rise.

Brothers, may we work as one.

Share wealth, shoulder burdens together!

Share wealth, shoulder burdens together!

Brothers, I met Chief Hong 6 months ago,

and I want to pass the news.

It was in Lingnan I saw Chief Hong.

We shared a drink. He's still healthy!

His appetite is big; his drinking ability is the same!

Great!

Chief Hong even said,

"the world is in turmoil. Mongols invade our Song."

"Our Clan must have loyalty, swear to kill enemies, defend against aggressors".

Swear to kill enemies, defend against aggressors!

See their joy and respect for old Hong.

They're in such high spirits;

how can I say Elder Hong died?

Do you know who Chief Hong is?

He's Elder Hong Qigong.

It's a pity I never met him.

Brothers, end here today.

Get ready for tomorrow's heroes' meeting.

Good! Good! Good!

[ GUIYUN MANOR ]

Don't just eat. Here, drink.

Have a drink.

Cheers.

- Yang Guo, what are you thinking? - Take a guess.

You're so impish, how can I guess?

I'm thinking, wow, this is so grand. I'm lowly, yet can participate.

Mom and Dad want to teach you

so you won't be embarrassed.

Disgraceful.

Brother, how's Yang Guo deserve to be here?

See that country bumpkin; no etiquette.

Eat well.

What are you discussing?

- Nothing much. - Nothing.

Have more, heroes.

Come, fill it up.

Come, let's eat.

It's a privilege.

Everyone, quiet. Please listen.

I'll be frank with you.

Mongols have invaded south.

I hosted this gathering to find a plan

to drive Mongols from Song.

That's right.

We must all defend our nation with great loyalty.

We should elect a *Honcho. (*hong tou = group leader)

Good!

Not bad.

Good idea!

Everyone.

The 'Greats' are East, West, South and North.

Central Divinity ChongYang died.

East Heretic pleases himself; West Venom doesn't fit in.

South King is far off in Dali, and not a Song.

- Only North Beggar Hong can lead us. - True!

Who else is worthy and respected?

- Well said! - Elder Hong!

Elder Hong!

Fellow heroes! Fellow heroes!

We'd be a headless dragon...

I fear Elder Hong won't show up.

Chief Lu, the solution is simple.

Let's elect a Vice-Honcho.

Chief Hong is roaming, so we need a Vice-Honcho.

What's everybody think?

- Right! - Well said.

Fellow heroes.

Hero Guo's wugong is superb.

He merits the job.

Hero Guo! Hero Guo!

I don't deserve it.

Everyone, I really don't deserve it.

Hero Guo!

Brother Jing.

Jing'er!

Taoist Qiu!

Are these Taoists back to settle with me?

- Taoist Qiu. - Jing'er.

On our way back, we ran into unwelcome people heading here.

I rushed back to warn you.

You must be cautious.

- Is it Ouyang Feng? - No.

It's the Mongols who invaded Quanzhen a few years ago.

So it's Huo Dou.

Why is no-one greeting an important guest? Is this how heroes behave?

Go. Go.

Let's look outside.

Huo Dou, now you're here, come in for drinks.

Hero Guo, we met at Mount Zhongnan.

Why have you come from afar?

Please welcome Adviser Jinlun!

Mongolia Imperial Adviser (Guoshi) - Golden Wheel Monk

This is West Tibet Holy Monk Jinlun, Imperial First Protector.

Teacher, I'll introduce you.

Guo Jing was once Mongolia's Western Levy Right General.

High Monk greets Hero Guo.

Beside him is Madam Guo, Beggar Clan Chief.

This Gathering is for invited guests

yet you came uninvited.

We took a chance and turned up.

The gathering of worthy, admirable heroes is a rare event.

Cut to the chase. Everyone, a leader needs to be elected

to organise Wulin in the interest of heroes.

What's everyone think?

You're too late.

We elected Elder Hong as Honcho.

We're now electing a Vice-Honcho. Any bright ideas?

Hong Qigong died; you elected a spirit.

You think we're all dead?

Bullshit!

- Are you spinning tales about Elder Hong? - Okay.

If Hong Qigong isn't dead, invite him here.

Elder Hong never stays in one place.

- How can you meet him easily? - True. Who do you think you are?

Forget about Hong Qigong. Even if he was here,

his wugong and virtue

can't compare to my Teacher Jinlun.

Heroes, please listen. Only Jinlun Guoshi (Adviser)

is qualified to be Honcho.

You suggest an unknown Jinlun Guoshi.

If Elder Hong was here, they could duel.

But Elder Hong is out killing Mongols.

He has no time to fight Guoshi.

Luckily both have disciples.

Why don't disciples duel instead?

That's fine. In that case,

Huo Dou, duel with Hong Gigong's disciples.

Yes, Teacher.

- He should've had drinks. - What?

Uncle Guo beat him at Mount Zhongnan

and embarrassed him.

We heard Beggar Clan has a Dog Beating Stick Skill.

It's Hong Qigong's top skill.

Little Prince is brazen. My fan will break his skill.

He's so smart.

He's avoiding fighting Uncle Guo.

How can my pregnant mom compete?

Elder Hong doesn't use Dog Beating Stick.

It's good if you're willing

to experience his 18-Dragon Subduing Palms.

We met once at Chongyang Palace.

That day you claimed Quanzhen tutelage.

Why call yourself Hong Qigong's disciple?

And it's a contest for Wulin Honcho

between Hong Qigong and Jinlun Guoshi.

Hero Guo, many Schools taught you.

You mightn't show Hong Qigong's true skills.

Stop finding excuses.

Have guts and fight Hero Guo!

That's right!

Compete!

You fellows!

Compete!

Call this a Heroes Gathering?

Doesn't look like it.

Teacher, we should leave.

If you become their Honcho, it will tarnish your name.

Wait!

I'm Beggar Clan new Chief, Lu Youjiao.

I recently learned part of Dog Beating

but I'll show you some moves.

Okay!

I will experience your skill.

This skill lives up to its name.

What a pity...

How'd you know this skill?

You must be proud.

Shut up!

Rong'er, though Dog Beating is profound,

Chief Lu just learned it; he'll lose.

Chief Lu.

- Are you okay? - Chief Lu.

Are you okay?

Hurry, take Chief Lu inside.

Beggar Clan Dog Beating Stick is just this?

"Snatching the Stick from the Dog's Mouth"

I handed it back.

If you're unhappy, spar with me.

You..

Her health is precious. She can't fight scum!

Take us on!

Wu boys, stand down!

Heroes, let's compete for three rounds.

Whoever wins two rounds is victor.

What's your opinion?

Fair enough.

Fine. Choose your contestants.

I'll wait.

Outrageous!

This Mongolian is coercing us.

We can't avoid this contest.

Sister, what can we do?

Of opponents, Jinlun's wugong is best.

As for Huo Dou and Da'erba, Quanzhen and Jing fought them once.

We know a bit about them.

You're unwell. Zhu, Qiu and I are strongest. Huo Dou's gongfu is weaker than Da'erba's.

I'm not sure I can beat Jinlun.

I can guarantee victory.

Let's hear it.

Brother Zhu, remember Sun Bin's tactics? "Use 3rd class against 1st class".

"1st class against 2nd class; 2nd class against 3rd class".

What's all that mean?

Brother Wu, it's a book quotation.

General Tian Ji and King of Qi had a horse race; Sun Bin taught Tian Ji a tactic.

Use 3rd class horses against 1st class horses; 1st class against 2nd class; 2nd class against 3rd class.

The King lost.

I get it.

Zhu's 'Solitary Yang Finger' can beat Huo Duo.

I'll handle Da'erba.

We may seize victory.

But if Priest Qiu fights Jinlun... isn't it too risky?

Jing'er, Wulin is at risk; I won't regret dying.

- Taoist. - Jing, don't worry.

Win the first two rounds; the third isn't needed.

How can Taoist Qiu be in danger?

Yes, I didn't think of that.

- Dad, mom. Bad news. - What is it?

- The Wu boys took on Huo Dou. - What?!

Useless.

Wu boys, retreat.

Teacher.

It's not a fight to the death.

Hero Guo, relax.

I won't count that friendly match.

Well, did you decide who'll compete?

We decided. Who's your first fighter?

I'm weakest; I will.

Next is Da'erba, then Jinlun Guoshi.

That order won't change?

I regret it won't.

I ask for your guidance.

I'm Zhu Ziliu.

I love literature and poetry.

My wugong is coarse, so go easy.

GuGu!

Guo'er!

Guo'er.

GuGu!

Your dream girl, Xiao Long Nu, is with her sweetheart.

GuGu, where were you?

I despaired of finding you!

- I looked for you. I missed you. - I missed you.

GuGu, you won't abandon me again?

I don't know...

Where you go, I'll follow. I'll never leave you.

I don't want to leave you.

Go away. We're duelling!

GuGu, ignore them.

Let's find a quiet place.

GuGu, where were you?

I missed you. I thought I'd never see you again.

I went back to the Tomb to forget you.

You went back to the Tomb?

I'm an idiot not to look there. I never guessed.

Yes, you're an idiot.

Back in the Tomb, I trained on the Jade Bed

but I remembered you lay there

and how we lived there.

I missed you, so I left to find you.

I didn't care if my hair tangled

or if people stared at me.

I kept crying without you.

You're no good. You didn't come to comfort me.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm bad.

Slap me as punishment.

Here. Hit! Hit! Hit!

I should be slapped to death.

GuGu, your smile is as beautiful as ever.

Why do you still call me GuGu?

I'm used to it.

I call you GuGu, but in my heart,

you're my wife.

I'd like to be your wife.

You're my wife for a lifetime.

Of course it's a lifetime.

If your heart changes, I'll kill you.

Don't worry, I'll never do that.

GuGu, that vile Li Mochou spread rumours.

Don't believe a word she says.

Yideng's "Scholar" disciple

'Solitary Yang Book Finger'

Mom, why is Uncle Zhu drawing?

He uses calligraphy gongfu.

Calligraphy?

But I can't tell what he is writing.

He's writing swear words; you won't understand.

Now what's Uncle Zhu writing?

It's grass script.

Grass script?

It's a cursive style.

What did you write?

"You are a barbarian".

Good! Good!

Teacher!

- Good! Good! - Well done!

Correct.

Uncle Zhu! Uncle Zhu!

Brother Zhu!

- Call that heroic? - Despicable!

You cheated!

Were projectiles forbidden?

If a dart injured me, I'd admit defeat.

Shut up!

Brother, I stopped the dart's poison spreading.

Come.

Come.

Hero Guo, this scoundrel turned defeat into victory.

Okay, I won the first round.

Secondly, Da'erba will fight.

Who dares to compete?

Come on!

Jing, we can't lose the next two rounds.

You fight Jinlun; I'll handle Da'erba.

With your health, you can't.

You might lose the baby.

Madam, Mongols injured my Brother. Leave it to me!

This situation is critical.

Brother Wu, be careful.

(Golden Demon Subduing Rod)

I'll test your gongfu!

("Farmer" disciple of South King)

(Advanced external hard kungfu - iron vs copper)

Rong'er, what are his chances?

Come here!

It's hard to say; both got hurt.

They rely on brute strength.

GuGu, you lost weight.

It's because I missed you. How often did you think of me?

I missed you 200 times a day.

200? I want 300.

300 isn't enough.

200 times morning, noon and night.

I dreamed of kissing your beautiful brow, eyes and face.

How many times?

Tons and tons.

I want you in all my dreams.

GuGu's so good.

Who is it?

You just frightened my GuGu!

Uncle Wu. Who did this to you?

Mongols...

Everyone, we won two of three rounds.

So Wulin Honcho is my Teacher.

Which bastard did that?

- Was it you? You scared Gugu! - It was me, why?

- Apologise! - Potty-mouth little bastard!

- Little bastard is insulting who? - Little Bastard is insulting you!

Insulting you, huh?

Little bastard, leave now or else.

Little bastard is talking to who?

Little bastard is...

Little bastard! Little bastard!

Hero Guo. We agreed...

whoever won two rounds is victor.

Don't Central Plains pugilists honour their word?

Did disciples represent Teachers?

Yes. We won 2 rounds, so my Teacher is Honcho.

You won two rounds; so what?

- You didn't beat my Teacher's disciple. - Who's that?

Stupid! My Teacher's disciple must be me!

- You... - You, you, you what?

We'll fight three rounds. If my Teacher wins, she's Honcho.

Bastard! With so many heroes, will the contest ever end?

I don't care about the Honcho title, but you upset my Teacher.

Who's your Teacher?

She's near yet far. See!

Her?

So? Beautiful, yes?

Little bastard, take me for a fool? I'll kill you!

Come!

Dog Beating Skill!

Rong'er, when did you teach him?

Dog Beating isn't for outsiders. How'd I teach him?

This is really odd.

Guo'er, don't go easy on him.

He's not your match.

Still want to fight?

Okay. Heroes here can witness me killing this little bastard.

He has himself to blame.

Okay!

Prove yourself now.

Little Prince will kill Little Bastard. He has himself to blame...

That's right..

Thank you very much!

Thank you, everyone!

- Are you tired? - No way.

Guo'er, come here.

Chief Lu, bring the Stick.

Okay.

To hit a dog, I'll lend you our Dog Beating Stick..

Yes, Aunt Guo.

Force him to give up his poison antidote.

What's the chat? Still gonna fight?

What did you say?!

I won't just fight; how about a bet?

Okay, if you lose,

kowtow to me 3 times and call me Grandpa.

- Call what? - Grandpa...

Good grandson.

Grandpa!

Stinking brat! What do you want?

Just the antidote when I win.

I'll lose to you? Don't dream!

Who taught Guo'er Dog Beating Skill?

"Stick returns across ground under clever hand, striking twin dogs without return".

"Dog Leaps Over Wall. Hit its backside".

Good fight!

Good fight!

You challenged for your Teacher,

so why'd you use Beggar Clan skills?!

What do you want?

If I use my own sect wugong, you'll lose tragically.

Fine. GuGu.

I'll use the wugong you taught me to beat this bastard.

Just wait there. Don't go anywhere.

Aunt Guo, here's Dog Beating Stick.

I need a sword. Would a brother lend me one?

Yang Guo.

I'll lend you my sword.

Would a hero here lend me a sword?

Take mine! Take mine!

Thank you, brother.

(Jade Maiden Sword Skill)

Beware, projectile!

Good!

Who knew Guo'er's wugong is this good.

Kill him!

One more time.

Rascal, you lied.

Projectile coming...

Damn rascal.

Be careful.

(Jade Bee Gold Needle)

Huo Dou!

Brother, are you okay?

It's poison.

Grandson.

I told you to be careful.

Didn't believe me?

Would I play tricks?

Hey, we won the first round.

Damn rascal! I'll thrash you!

(Supreme Strength Rod Technique)

(9-Yin Manual leap)

9-Yin Manual? Jing, you taught him?

I never taught him.

Don't move.

Was Qiu Yinong your Senior?

I know her wugong.

Teacher!

No need to be afraid.

His gong-li (power) isn't that strong. Don't let him fool you.

You lied to me!

Guo'er! "Soul Altering Spell!"

What's going on?

Great! Great fight!

Stinky brat, tell me.

Who is your Teacher?

Big Monk, are you deaf?!

I said so many times,

she is my Teacher!

Of three rounds, I won two.

Honcho is my Teacher.

How's this little girl a worthy Honcho?

If you withstand my Golden Wheel,

I'll acknowledge your title.

Rotten monk, you're denying it?

I want to see her ability to be Wulin leader.

Since you insist, I'll fight you.

Okay then.

Miss, what if you can't take 10 stances?

If I can't, I can't. So what?

GuGu, be careful.

Rong'er, she's young and outmatched.

If Guo'er let her fight, her gongfu surpasses his.

It's been 10 stances. Still fighting?
