EPISODE 23

I got it.

Swords can't hurt Li Mochou's Whisk,

but if we use scissors to cut it...

Yes! A blacksmith is 7 miles away.

Yes! He can forge big scissors!

They'll take a while to forge,

but it's faster than mastering Jade Sword; we've no other plan.

- I want to eat that. - I'll buy it for dinner.

- What would you like? - I'd like...

You, come here.

Hurry.

Old man!

Hurry.

Who's Blacksmith Feng?

I am.

All blacksmiths are ordered to Xian to aid the army.

I'm aged and crippled.

Show me mercy.

Go or your head will roll.

Let's go. Hurry.

Master Feng, you're aged and lame.

In the Mongol camp, you might die.

I have ten taels; escape.

Thanks. I don't need money.

My life is unimportant

but thousands in Jiangnan are at risk.

What do you mean?

Mongols are gathering blacksmiths to forge weapons

but their army wasn't short of weapons.

They will invade Song.

- What did you want? - We'd like giant scissors.

Giant scissors?

Can you do it by tonight?

I'll do my best.

Think he can make them by dark?

I don't know.

People suffer hardship in these times.

We all face adversity.

Let's hope Li Mochou is late.

The scissors won't be ready.

Making scissors to fight my Whisk?

I'll wait to fight till they're ready.

That fool survived my Palm.

It's good I attacked; she's formidable.

Where's Huang Yaoshi? Is he hiding?

He left; don't feign ignorance.

Dumb Egg, if Master Huang was here, would she dare come?

"Isle Master has many disciples; 5 against 1, jackass of Jianghu".

Master Huang relied on students.

It's a pity they have no ability.

I'll leave this as evidence to show Huang Yaoshi I killed you.

Blacksmith. The scissors aren't ready.

I have no patience to wait.

Do you seek death? Don't you know me?

Who are you?

I'm Blacksmith Feng.

Blacksmith Feng? Why'd you burn my paper?

Don't hang wrong words in my forge.

Wrong? What's the mistake?

Master Huang has skilled disciples.

First disciple, Qu Ling Feng, has divine qinggong, and Iron 8-Trigram Palms.

Second disciple, Chen Xuan Feng, has blade-resistant iron strength.

Jianghu says Qu Ling Feng robbed the Palace, and was killed by Guards.

Chen Xuan Feng was stabbed by a boy.

Blade-resistant? Rot!

Isle third disciple, Mei Chao Feng, a woman,

has fierce Claw and Whip skills.

Yes, too fierce.

So Seven Freaks blinded her;

Ouyang Feng smashed her lungs.

That happened? I didn't know.

Okay.

Fourth disciple, Lu Cheng Feng ('ride the wind'), has divine ginggong

and a superb Slashing Air Palm.

He had his legs crippled.

Now he must ride the wind! His Slashing Palm meets thin air.

Lu Cheng Feng was also versed in the art of formations.

You wouldn't escape him.

What use is that art?

He built Returning Cloud Manor; Jianghu said it was ingenious

but it was burned down.

He disappeared then, probably burned to death.

Chief Huang leads Beggar Clan

with unsurpassed intelligence.

If she opposes you, you won't see it coming.

Huang Rong has low wugong

and relies on husband Guo Jing.

She led Beggar Clan because of her Teacher, Hong Qigong.

Bullshit!

All Peach Blossom Isle disciples are more skilled than you!

You're taking advantage of a villager unaware of world matters.

Ask them if it's true.

I...

My Seniors died.

I'm a Junior with low gongfu; I can't help Master fight.

Sir, you have ties with my Master?

Isle Master took another student?

Master was lonely.

With my age and study, I won't say I'm an Isle disciple.

I merely pour tea for Master Huang.

I never stepped on the Isle.

His movement is like Falling Peach Blossom Palm.

Maybe he's an Isle disciple.

Master spoke about exiling erring disciples, Chen and Mei.

Qu, Lu, Wu, and Feng were innocent.

The most tragic was Feng Mo Feng, young, from a harsh background.

Master is uncomfortable thinking of him.

He regrets wronging him.

Fate kept them apart.

So you are Feng Mo Feng.

Congratulations on meeting your Sect sisters.

You're Brother Feng Mo Feng?

Is Master well?

He is very well.

Even if I die cruelly, I can't repay Master's kindness.

Since Master no longer blames me, I can die in peace.

Your Master expelled you. Why stay loyal?

Listen. I'll kill these four today.

Just watch; don't get involved.

I only want to use my life to repay Master!

Today I'll die for Peach Blossom Isle.

That's my wish.

Li Mochou, I won't let you hurt my martial siblings or their friend.

With your low skills?

If four of you fight me, I'm not afraid.

Huang Yaoshi's disciples are all crap.

Li Mochou, don't insult Master!

('Golden Cockerel Standing Alone' stance)

A woman like you has no shame.

You're becoming indecent.

Li Mochou.

Quit fighting before all your clothes burn off.

Could you beat me with only wugong?

If Huang's disciples fight one-on-one,

can they win?

If you didn't lose your weapon, eventually you'd beat me.

Okay, you're honest.

So was I wrong about disciple numbers?

Whoever insults my Master,

I'll defy death for him.

If Qu, Chen and Lu were here, each could beat you.

I needn't include experts Qu and Chen.

Mei Chao Feng is a woman; you couldn't beat her.

Why mention dead people?

Huang's wugong is passable.

I wanted to test his daughter's wugong

but no need now.

Wait a minute.

Yang Guo, what are you doing?

You wrongly criticised Master's wugong.

His Jade Flute Sword counters your Whisk. Wait...

Your attack is swiftly fierce, but if I slash, you can't withdraw.

I grab your Whisk, you discard it.

If you use 5-Poison Palm,

I use Flicking Finger on your palm.

Your palm is crippled; I can use

a fingernail to neutralise your poison, then cut my nail to stop poison spreading.

Master was angry at your insolence,

but with his status, how can he fight you?

He passed me these skills to deal with you.

But you're my Teacher's Sister, my Senior, right?

I'm warning you about Master's power.

Next time you meet his people, run away.

Isle Master is so smart.

Scared me to death.

Mongols are invading south.

Citizens here will suffer.

Mongol archery is superb. Song can't defend against it.

Disaster won't be small.

Yang, you're young.

Why don't you fight?

No. I'll look for my GuGu.

The Mongol army is vast. What can I do?

The force of many is strong.

If everyone thinks like you,

who'd defend the nation?

Elder, you're right

but our Song officials aren't good.

I won't help them.

Everyone has his own will.

Brother Feng, what will you do?

This is a great opportunity.

I'll enter the Mongol camp to spy.

Sister. Tell our Master

I never forgot his teachings.

Even if I die doing this, I'll kill one or two invading generals.

Sister, I'm happy to meet Master's new disciple.

Take care.

Yang, everyone, take care.

Take care.

Sha Gu.

Senior Feng is strangely ambitious at his age.

Cousin, everyone under your Master is mad or crazy.

Of course, you're the exception.

He's loyal, never forgetting Master.

You call him crazy; he might call us heartless.

And I can be mad and crazy.

Why'd you give Li Mochou the new jacket?

I acted on impulse. I'm sorry.

You only have that shabby one.

My GuGu sewed me this; I can't bear to discard it.

So there is a difference.

Forget it. Don't discuss it.

How can I get out of this mess?

Greetings to Sect Sister.

I'm not your Sect Sister.

Master Huang made me a disciple; you're my Sister.

Your Aunt Guo is my Sect Sister. What should you call me?

Then I'll call you Sect Aunt.

Don't. You have an aunt.

If there's nothing else, I'm going.

There is something; I almost forgot.

After Li Mochou saw Brother Feng's brave skills, she fled.

It's risky if we encounter her on our own; you trained in Master Huang's wugong.

Why don't we spar?

- Okay. - Okay, come on.

Sect Sister, great gongfu.

Cousin, great. Hit him.

Think so? He lost on purpose.

True? So fight for fun.

- Want to play Wifey? - You do it.

- He wants to play with you. - Nonsense.

You play. I'll check Sha Gu.

Wait for me. I got medicine ready.

Come on, get up.

Sha Gu, medicine is ready.

I don't want it. It's bitter.

- Sha Gu, be good. - I don't want it.

Sha Gu, medicine isn't bad. Take a sip.

Here.

Brother Yang?

Ghost!

- Sha Gu, look. - What are you doing?

Don't be afraid. He's Dumb Egg.

It's Brother Yang's ghost. I'm frightened.

Sha Gu.

Sha Gu.

Who killed me?

Ghost!

- I'm not involved. - I died horribly; I want revenge.

Ghost!

I'll take you to Hell.

Don't take me there.

- Don't! - I died horribly.

I know you died horribly.

Crows ate your corpse.

Dumb Egg!

Who killed me?!

- Dumb Egg. - Brother Yang, don't scare her.

- Don't do this. - Shut up!

Tell me.

Who killed Brother Yang?

You killed yourself. You hit Auntie's poison spikes.

- I'm not involved. - What's Auntie's name?

You go catch her.

Where's Auntie?

Granddad Master and I left the Isle. She and a man stayed.

- What did Auntie call Master? - "Dad"!

- Is that man Guo Jing? - Not Guo Jing, no.

She called him Brother Jing.

- Brother Yang. - Dumb Egg.

- Dumb Egg. - Brother Yang.

Sha Gu's mind is disordered.

You can't believe her.

Why's it Guo Jing and Huang Rong?

Recently Huang Rong began smiling at me.

How fake was that smile?!

And Guo Jing is a Hero. Hero, my ass!

I lived with the killers for so long.

For so long!

I want revenge. I must kill them.

- Brother Yang. - Don't follow me!

Dumb Egg.

Dumb Egg!

Take care of Sha Gu. I'll fetch him.

Cousin, bring him back.

Huang Rong, you never liked me.

You faked being good to me. That stops now.

But, Uncle Guo, your wugong is peerless

and you were sincere. Why'd you lie?

Why'd you and that woman lie?

Why?!

GuGu.

GuGu, where are you?

You woke.

What am I here?

I looked for you all night.

I carried you from the forest.

- You suffered again. - I'm fine.

I want to tell you something.

Please say it.

Brother Yang.

You want revenge. Sha Gu won't lie,

but her mind is unclear.

She may be wrong.

I won't speak against revenge, but think about what I say.

What if you get the wrong person?

I'm saying to think before you act.

You must have no regrets.

You make sense.

Don't worry; I'll remember.

Be careful. Your foe is formidable.

10 years isn't too late for vengeance.

In 10 years, your wugong will advance; your foe will age.

In 10 years, it will be easier.

Prepare to win; don't seek the wrong person.

Avoid mistakes and rashness.

You're so good to me.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

To get revenge.

Let's meet after that.

Everyone, everyone! Look!

Great.

Thanks.

Great.

One more time.

Everyone, see this ordinary red cloth.

I invite you to guess my next act.

Huh?

Look closely.

Great!

Great!

Who knew miracles exist.

I showed you my family skills.

I hope you liked it.

Today's show is over. Thanks for your generosity.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Brother. Thanks.

Thank you.

Great!

I never knew of such gongfu.

Great.

Little Sister, can I learn

to make things appear in my hands?

Little Sister, you're young, fat and cute.

Teach me your gongfu.

Sorry, this secret can't be passed.

Come earlier to watch.

Little Sister.

Anything can be passed.

It depends on the price.

I'll give anything to learn.

Mad old coot!

Why'd I give you my livelihood?

What's precious to you?

Will you give it to me?

What precious thing do I have?

How can you ask for what's precious?

Okay, I'll give you my favourite thing.

What did you do?

A girl once gave me purest love, but I couldn't face her. She kept chasing me, she only wanted... this.

I just gave it to you.

That's fine; just teach me.

Scum!

This....hey...

He's dead?

You can't break your word!

What do you want?

Will you teach me?

It's a family rule to pass it only to my husband.

That's a bad deal, but I want to learn it.

Give me time to consider?

Give you time? Crazy!

Old and ugly.

Crazy old fogey!

I'm not a crazy old fogey!

Miss.

Let me by.

Miss, don't my eyes sparkle?

Why are you blinking?

Get an eye check-up.

My eyes are fine. It's just...

I... love... you.

You're crazy.

Get a health check.

It's love at first sight.

I love you forever.

Not every man cares about looks.

I only care about your...

inner beauty.

My Dad said

if someone loves me despite my looks,

I should marry him.

Well...

W-w-what's this?

Hubb, I'll tell you a secret.

I carry a fish bowl.

That's why I'm so fat.

I'm actually normal.

So you don't know magic?

If I did, why'd I sell my art?

That'd be great.

Don't worry, I make lots of money.

It's enough to marry.

True?

I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Hubby, where are you going?

Hubby, stop!

Hubby, stop!

You promised to marry me. Why'd you run away?

I...I was only joking.

You'd joke about this?

This won't do.

I fell in love with you.

You must marry me.

There are difficulties.

You're complaining I'm fat?

I'm a pretty woman.

I can be thin.

It's because...

- Because of her. - Who's she?

- My wife. - Your wife?

Dear, I was wrong.

I'll stay by your side.

His wugong is advanced. Better not anger him.

Fine.

You tricked me. I'll fight you.

It's the mad old fogey.

Don't insult the old; old people used to be young.

Don't rush off. Play a while.

Miss, should people judge on looks?

Can you let me go?

Miss. Miss, wait a minute.

Miss, I'm very hungry.

Can you feed me?

- This? - I want meat. I'll go to an inn.

- There's none in 10 miles. - 10 miles?

That wench chased me too far and made me starve.

I can roast you bamboo shoots.

Really? Great.

- Are you a ghost? - I look like one?

Who else would live here? And you're beautiful.

I like cold places. You can go.

If you can take it, so can I.

Elder, you roast it. I'll sleep.

You sleep strangely on a rope.

This is fascinating.

Teach me this? Asleep so fast?

If you can do it, so can I.

What are you doing?

I.....I'm catching mice.

How can mice live in cold?

I chased them. So sleep peacefully.

This is...your sash.

I ate too much dinner.

It was too tight for comfort.

I'm fine; sleep. I'll chase any mice. Meow.

I disbelieve I can't.

Miss, teach me to sleep on a rope?

You're in a bad mood.

We shared a cave; so tell me your name. Say your name, I'll say mine; fair enough?

Why do I need your name?

I'd never met an unnosy, unsmiling woman.

You're not Guo'er. Why smile?

Guo'er? Who's Guo'er?

Did you sleep well?

No, I fell off the rope. Miss,

how do I sleep on a rope?

What if I'm your disciple? Teach me...

You didn't disagree; I'll get a rope.

- You're doing well. - I don't fall off a plank.

When can I learn to rope-sleep without falling?

It's simple. Think of nothing, all's fine.

Blank minds belong to monks.

I love being a busybody.

For Ancient Tomb skills,

let go of emotions.

You're from Ancient Tomb?

Lin ChaoYing is your Founder.

- Elder, you knew her? - No. I heard about her.

Then, Elder, you're...

Don't discuss it.

Does Ancient Tomb have more fun gongfu?

- Can gongfu be fun? - Of course. Look...

- Quanzhen wugong! - You know it? Great!

I don't get it.

Why's Tomb wugong stop Quanzhen skills?

Shouldn't you live in Ancient Tomb?

And what's Guo'er like?

I mention him and you sigh.

Did he bully you?

I, Zhou Botong, help others.

You're Zhou Botong?

Yes! Bad...You know I'm Zhou Botong.

- I'm Xiao Long Nu. - Xiao Long Nu? Pretty name! We're even.

Heed me.

Don't repress feelings; you'll feel bad. Talk and feel happier.

- Really? - Seriously.

Tell me and maybe I can help.

Just tell me; I'll try to help.

Who is Guo'er?

Guo'er is my disciple.

I lived in the Tomb. He fled from Quanzhen and moved in.

I taught him gongfu. Later we fell in love.

Elder, tell me why they won't let us be a couple?

Well, in this world,

love between men and women is complicated.

Xiao Long Nu, discuss wugong instead.

When we talk of wugong...
