EPISODE 21

Mom, mom.

What is it?

I hear fighting. Jinlun caught up.

Run and see.

Madam Guo, we meet again.

Stinky monk, you're following us like a dog!

Damn brat, you talk drivel!

Mom, are you okay?

- Fu'er. - Teacher. - You three run!

No, go together!

Guo'er!

- Yang Guo! - Guo'er!

Guo'er!

'Divine Flicking Finger'?

Run now!

Let's go!

- I can't go on. - Here.

Mom, how are you?

Miss Fu, help Madam Guo sit.

Here.

Teacher...slowly.

Miss, thanks for your help once again.

Don't talk. You need to rest safely.

Sister Fu, we must get Teacher to treatment.

Yang Guo, come with us.

Take care of Aunt Guo. I'll look for GuGu.

Why look for GuGu?! You're barely alive.

Come with us so Dad can heal you.

I won't die easily. Don't bother.

Sister Fu, don't force him.

Yes, Sister Fu. Teacher is unwell.

How about we go?

Yang Guo, you really won't come?

Miss Fu, don't worry. I'll take care of Brother Yang.

Go!

Teacher, here.

Brother Yang, we should go.

Brother Yang...wake up. Brother Yang.

Don't leave me, GuGu...GuGu.

Don't leave me... don't leave.

Rong'er, feeling better now?

Mom, are you okay?

Your Dad treated me with qigong.

Your injury was serious. And you're pregnant, so rest.

Don't worry, Jing.

That Jinlun is vile.

Dad, teach him a lesson for Mom.

Still prattling? If you hadn't run off,

Jinlun would've had no chance to injure your Mom.

Guo'er could be dead.

What if something happens to him?

Why didn't you bring Guo'er home?

Mom. He didn't want to come. How's that my fault?

- Still talking back? - Enough, Jing.

Don't blame her. You know Guo'er's temper.

Heaven helps the worthy; he'll be fine.

We must find Guo'er and bring him back.

Fu'er, why'd you rush me out?

I asked you to find Yang Guo. Is there news?

I sent Beggar Clan members to look

but we have no news of him.

Doesn't Beggar Clan have men everywhere?

So many of you can't find Yang Guo. So useless.

Fu'er.

Granddad. When did you arrive?

Lu Youjiao greets Isle Master.

No need for formalities.

My granddaughter was spoiled by her mom.

Don't be offended.

How am I spoiled?

Where are your parents?

Granddad, Mom was injured.

Your mom was injured?

What was your rascal dad doing?

Rong'er, how do you feel?

Mom, are you much better?

Much better.

Father-in-law, your deep qigong healed Rong'er.

True, Dad, your qigong is more powerful.

Alright.

You needn't flatter me.

I want to know

who injured my precious girl?

Granddad, it's that bald monk Jinlun.

Who is he?

So the Mongols have an expert, Jinlun.

I hope I meet him.

Luckily Guo'er and Miss Long aided us

or Jinlun would be Wulin Honcho.

Wulin would be humiliated,

with unimaginable consequences.

Who knew Yang Kang's child would be so remarkable.

It's a pity Guo'er is heretical.

I hope he repents before too late.

You mule-headed idiot.

What's wrong with his ways?

I like his being different.

But he wants to marry his Teacher.

Why can't a disciple marry his Teacher?

Father-in-law.

Brother Jing.

Dad, who in this world is more erratic than you?

Rong'er. You're having a sly dig at me.

Who says so? Congratulations on another remarkable disciple.

Aunt. How'd you know he has another disciple?

A young girl rescued us from Jinlun with 'Divine Flicking Finger'.

Fu'er said that girl used Peach Blossom kungfu to fight Li Mochou.

That girl could only have been taught by my dad.

You're smart. She's my disciple, Cheng Ying.

So that wench was your disciple. Her skills aren't bad.

Who's a wench? She's my sect Sister and your sect Aunt.

I don't want that.

If Guo'er is with her, I won't worry.

Hero Guo.

Founder, you're here too.

Disciple Lu Guanying honours Master.

Cheng Yaojia greets Isle Master Huang.

- Don't be formal. Get up. - Yes.

Master Lu, what's the matter?

I just got a letter from Xiangyang.

The Mongol army is about to besiege the city.

Administrator Lu requests you to help defend Xiangyang.

Let's leave without delay.

Master Lu, please ask all heroes to protect Xiangyang.

Rest assured, my wife and I will do our duty.

Rong'er. We must separate again after my return from afar.

Granddad. May I come with you?

I have to find my young disciple. And I hope to meet this Jinlun Guoshi.

Alright, I'm going now.

Dad, be careful.

Be good.

Granddad Master!

You're awake.

Miss, it's you again. Thank you.

You're always saving me. How do I repay you.

I was just passing by.

I saw that Mongol being unreasonable and you were injured.

Thank you.

You kindly risked your life to save someone.

I just helped a little.

Aunt Guo raised me. I had to save her.

I met you by chance.

I didn't mean Madam Guo. I meant Lu Wushuang, your wife.

Her? I called her Wifey because she called me Dumb Egg.

Is Lu Wushuang recovered and safe?

Thanks for asking. Her injury is healing.

You needn't call me Miss.

These two days, you called me Aunt.

It's too late to change that.

Oh no. When I was unconscious, I called her GuGu.

I wonder what other endearments I used. Oh no...

Miss. I didn't offend you?

You didn't.

Recuperate, then find your GuGu.

Where do I look?

If you're sincere, you'll find her.

She's different from the rest.

Lu Wushuang is lively. Guo Fu is proud.

Yelu Yan is frank; Wangyan Ping is piteous.

GuGu was cold and unfeeling until a life-and-death crisis.

This lady is refined, warm and attentive.

Her company is calm and peaceful.

Miss, what's your name?

Don't ask questions. Rest quietly.

Don't think so much, and you'll heal faster.

I knew it. You won't reveal your face or your name.

My face is unsightly.

I don't believe that.

If I'm beautiful like your GuGu, why do I wear a mask?

How do you know she's beautiful?

Do you know my GuGu?

I haven't met her.

If you miss her so much, she'd be lovely.

I don't miss her for her beauty,

but because she treats me well. If she was ugly,

I'd still marry her.

I guessed she's beautiful and good to you.

What are you writing?

I'm practising. My calligraphy is poor.

No. I can tell it's refined.

Strange. How can you tell?

Someone elegant like you must write elegantly.

My writing is unrefined.

Just as you're kindly, but dress poorly.

I'm always like this. I...where's my jacket?

It's here.

I washed and mended it.

Thank you. GuGu sewed it for me; I can't lose it.

I know.

What would you like to eat?

No need. Don't trouble yourself.

It's okay. What do you like?

- Zong zi (sticky rice dumplings). - Zong zi?

Jiaxing, my home, has famous zong zi.

Maybe you know who I am?

Do I know you?

I'll buy dumplings. Rest.

"Since a gentleman passed my eyes, the clouds are displeasing."

Is that gentleman me?

I haven't spoken to her much.

Anyway, how'd I be a gentleman?

But if it's not me, who else can it be; no-one else is around.

I'm a gentleman?

Gentleman...?

Great 'Qiao'! ('Bridge' - tune title)

Why are you wearing that mask?

Why do you always wear a mask?

Looks like wearing one is amusing.

I really wonder at your behaviour.

Cousin!

- I'm back. - I worried about you. - Do you know, I went...

So, this lady is Wifey's cousin.

Why's a man at our place?

He... who's he?

You're his wife. Who do you think?

Can't even recognise your Hubby?

Dumb Egg!

- Wifey! - Dumb Egg! It's you!

- I'm so happy. Is it really you? - Sure.

- It's really you? - Yes. - Where'd you go? I worried about you.

- I know. - You make me mad.

Stop fooling. Talk inside.

- Let's go in and talk. - Of course.

Drink slowly.

It's been ages. Where'd you go?

When you ran out, Cousin brought me here.

I recovered and went travelling.

I ran into two Beggars.

They mentioned a Heroes Gathering at Da Xingguan.

I went there to have a look, but when I arrived, it was ended.

I was afraid Cousin was lonely, so I'm back. And see now...

That lady rescued me but won't tell me her name.

What lady? You still don't know her?

Fate didn't let me know.

Cousin, you're remiss. Why not tell him you're Cheng Ying?

So you're Cheng Ying.

And her Teacher is Peach Blossom Isle Master, Huang Yaoshi.

You're so young to be Master Huang's disciple.

It's due to you. When you sold me to a brothel, I met my Teacher.

We met before. You forgot?

Eat more.

I know. You're Wifey's cousin.

Youth do crazy things. Why must you wear this...?

I said there's no need for masks.

Just take it off.

You're still beautiful.

Cousin, you...

Cousin!

Why is she shy?

Strange.

Dumb Egg. Did she get weird being around Huang Yaoshi?

No.

- Wifey, you look pretty in this. - Really?

For you...

- Here. - Thanks. That's all.

Take care. Enjoy browsing.

Wushuang?

Sister.

- Where'd she go? - I didn't see. What's wrong?

- Look for her over there. - Sure.

Miss Cheng.

- Is your hand okay? - I'm fine.

It's new clothes. Who's it for? Let me see.

Bad news!

My hand!

- I saw Sister and Li Mochou. - Li Mochou?

Yes! I ran but they'll catch up soon. What to do....?

Li Mochou has high wugong but I'm injured. Even joining forces, we can't defeat her!

Why don't we run?

No, you go with Yang Guo. I'll fight her.

No. If Li Mochou sees me with Dumb Egg, he's in trouble.

Cousin, you two go. I'll fight.

No, you two leave. She and GuGu shared a Teacher...

No! She's never kind.

Cousin, how can I leave you? You two, go now.

- No, Cousin. - Okay, quiet!

- Let's join forces. Live or die together. - Okay, let's.

Let's go.

Wait, Li Mochou is powerful. Why not stay here and prepare.

- She's right. - True. - Okay, Li Mochou, we'll wait!

- One. - Two. - Three. - Together.

Dumb Egg.

I lied to Li Mochou that Beggar Clan took this 5-Poison Codex.

If she finds out, I'm in trouble.

Quickly memorise it, then burn it.

Okay.

Also...

if you're caught by Li Mochou,

and she wants to kill you, give her this hanky.

Why's it only half?

Don't ask questions. Keep it.

I'm asking you to give it to Li Mochou.

- If I take your hanky... - Keep it!

- Sure. - Don't lose it, okay?

- Memorize the book quickly. - I'll study it.

By the way...

What's wrong?

Don't tell my cousin about this.

5-Poison Codex?

- Brother Yang. - Why is 5-Poison...?

What's wrong?

Sit.

Brother Yang. By dawn, Li Mochou will find us.

If she finds you, give her this hanky.

It may help you.

Don't tell my cousin about this.

Okay, sure.

- Okay. - I'll go now.

Why'd each give me a hanky half?

I'm to give these to Li Mochou, but I can't tell either?

And their expressions then...

were they bashful?

Dumb Egg, the moon is beautiful tonight.

It's a pity if I never see this again.

Oh world, what is love binding into death?

Miles and seasons, as pair we fly

Union is joy, parting is agony

Tell me, above clouds, amid snowy peaks, where will my lone shadow go?

You brats, what do you know about love?

You can't understand.

Senior, you're saying you know love deeply?

I'm not here to discuss love.

Thief, hand me 5-Poison Codex.

I told you Beggar Clan took it.

Go and find them.

Still tricking me? Hand it over or I'll kill you.

Beggar Clan is righteous and won't peek in your book.

And Chief ordered no-one to peek.

Actually, I have the book. Take it.

- Smart move. - Also...

Isn't this torn hanky yours? Take it back.

The past is past!

Teacher, I acted alone. Let them go.

What's your right to ask? I'll kill you all.

What's your right to be a Teacher? We gave it back but will die.

Who lives forever anyway? I'm better off than you.

I have company.

We can laugh on death's path; unlike you.

You'll die alone.

Well said. We'll die without regret.

That blessing isn't yours;

I'll make you die in misery.

Aunt, flower for you.

Sha Gu?

Sway sway sway, sway sway sway

sway till granny's bridge falls

Granny calls me "precious," bags of candy and fruit

Finish one bag, eat another!

Be careful.

Cover your ears.

Great!

Beat that bad woman.

Li Mochou, you did much evil. I, Huang Yaoshi, will act today.

Why are you laughing?

So it's famous Huang Yaoshi. I didn't know you're petty and shameless.

Li Mochou, don't insult Master.

I misspoke? I'm outnumbered.

If Master Huang ignores ridicule, kill me.

Li Mochou, how can you say that? I'll fight you one-on-one.

What a joke. You'll queue up.

Is bullying me gentlemanly?

Li Mochou, don't talk rot. Get lost.

Master, have tea.

Master, what brings you here?

Rong'er told me about Jinlun Guoshi.

His wugong beat heroes.

So I hope to meet him.

I didn't expect to meet Li Mochou. I figured something was wrong

so I rushed here to see.

Master Huang, if you hadn't hurried, my cousin and I and Dumb Egg

would have died miserably.

Dumb Egg?

Yang Guo greets Master Huang.

Yang Guo?

So you foiled enemies at the Gathering and

saved my daughter and granddaughter.

Excellent.

A hero at a young age.

Teacher, you met him before.

This is a rare fate.

Junior Aunt. I want you to come...

Sha Gu (Silly Girl).

Come and meet Brother Yang.

She's my disciple's foolish daughter, Sha Gu.

She's been simple since youth.

I futilely spent time trying to teach her reading and wugong.

After years of challenge,

I created three Palms for her;

who knew she'd counter Li Mochou.

It's because your wugong is formidable.

Sha Gu, you're good luck.

There's a ghost!

- Sha Gu. - Brother Yang, I didn't kill you.

Sha Gu didn't harm you. Find someone else. Ghost!

Yang Guo, don't be disconcerted.

You resemble your father. She met him.

Sha Gu.

Don't be afraid. Who killed my dad?

Tell me who killed my dad...

- Brother Yang. - Dumb Egg, sit down.

Yang Guo.

Your injury is very serious.

Teacher, save him.

Dumb Egg.

Yang Guo, you're healed.

Thank you for saving my life.

I won't accept thanks.

Do you know my Jianghu title?

Master of Peach Blossom Isle.

What else?

- East Heretic. - Correct.

I heard your wugong isn't bad, your heart is good,

but you do heretical things.

I also heard you want to marry your Teacher.

No-one will allow it, but I will marry her.

Why are you laughing?

I thought East Heretic would be different, but you're like others.

Well said.

Why isn't he acting offended?

Yang Guo.

You expelled yourself from Quanzhen and beat up your Teacher.

You are rather heretical.

Why not leave Ancient Tomb Sect, and enter my tutelage?

Why would I?

You'd renounce Xiao Long Nu as your Teacher, then marry her. Won't that be proper?

Your idea is good, but not clever.

Who set this rule I can't marry my Teacher?

Loving GuGu is my business.

I'll marry GuGu; they have no say.

Okay.

I most resent customs.

My behaviour is unorthodox.

That's why Jianghu named me 'Heretic'.

But your thinking is a level higher than mine.

I wanted you under my tutelage so a Young Heretic succeeds me.

But you're unwilling to be my disciple.

If you want to pass me that title, I needn't make you my Master.

If you don't mind my youth and poor wugong, we can be friends...

or sworn brothers.

Friends? Sworn brothers?

You're disrespectful.

But it suits my temperament.

Brother Yang, we're in tune. '1000 cups are too few for true friends.'

- Let's get drunk. - Okay! - Let's go. - This way.

Jade Flute

'Growing old, things change'

'I can't face flowers alone'

'So I close the doors'

'as a plum blossom flutters in the snow'

'Old men can't regain youth'

'Tired of wine and music'

'At dusk comes wind and rain'

'outside the pavilion'

'Old Master Liu welcomes peach blossoms'

'East wind roars; broken empire red in the sun'

'History is tearful'

'As I age, I regret the sunset; the tides of night return'

Thank you, Master.

Ying'er, why'd you thank me?

Brother Yang and his Teacher's love can't get acceptance.

It pains me to watch.

I couldn't help.

Now you, an Elder, disregard common opinion,

I'm so happy.

Only you don't follow rules.

A venerable man acting wholeheartedly

can comfort a tortured soul.

I thank you for Brother Yang.

Ying'er.

You're wrong.

You said I don't follow customs.

Frankly, it's a misperception.

I was once a victim of ethics.

I acted regrettably.

I don't live up to my East Heretic title.

I feel shamed by Brother Yang.

Supporting him supports my past self.

It's a pity I lacked such courage in the past.

Why is that?

Do you know of your martial Sister, Mei Chao Feng?

Sha Gu mentioned her, but you never spoke of her.

I was afraid to speak of her

as it brings back the pain.

Okay.

Since I'm a little drunk, I'll tell you.

Take this as a lesson.

Years ago in my travels, I discovered her.

Villagers tried to get rid of a young girl raised by wolves.

Where is she? The wolf is here.

Over there!

Let's go!

Where is she? Don't let her run away.

Beat her!

Don't let her get away!

Go after her.

Beat her to death!

Beat her!

She's under control.

Thanks, Hero, for catching her.

Hand her over.

What will you do to her?

She was raised by wolves and ate livestock. We'll kill her.

That's right, kill her!

She won't know worldly ways; killing her isn't useful.

Let me tame her; maybe she'll be useful.

If you want to take her, we can do nothing.

But she's not human in behaviour.

She's a beast. You're getting trouble.

That's right. You're getting trouble.

I like looking for trouble.

Will you come with me?

I take your silence as consent.

I'll make you my disciple and teach you.

Don't disappoint me.

He's leaving.
