EPISODE 31

Hey! Explain properly.

- Miss Long. Brother Zhen likes you. - Shut up.

- He likes you. - Someone will hear.

Shut up!

What are you doing?

Someone will hear us yelling.

Still pretending?

Quanzhen will lose face.

Still posing as a moral man?

Don't think I don't know.

That night, when Xiao Long Nu was immobilised,

who blindfolded her?

And then...

ravished her pure body!

Bullshit!

So that intimacy wasn't with Guo'er but this foul Taoist?

Impossible.

I saw you confess in front of Founder ChongYang's painting.

I heard it all.

Zhao Zhijing, you scum,

you eavesdropped on me.

If you want to be discreet, do it at night.

Brother Zhen. It's okay.

The Jianghu would envy you.

From Prince Huo Dou to that little bastard Yang Guo,

they'd all envy your intimacy with her.

Xiao Long Nu is very beautiful.

She is so lovely.

Stop talking.

You know how lovely Xiao Long Nu is?

Don't say anymore.

- It's a pity I didn't see you take off her... - Don't say anymore!

- If you stripped her naked... - Don't say more!

Was it really him,

not my beloved Guo'er?

No. No way.

That's impossible.

He's lying, it had to be Guo'er.

By doing that,

I have sinned greatly.

I was always guided by Teacher

not to be ruled by emotion.

But when I see Miss Long,

she is like an angel.

When I see her, I think of her day and night.

I can't control myself.

I really didn't hope for anything.

I just wanted to place her in my heart forever.

I was never going to tell her.

But that night...

I don't know what came over me.

I couldn't control myself.

I was aghast at myself...

I know...

I committed a great crime.

Nothing I do can atone for it.

Next time I see Miss Long,

I'll let her kill me.

In my next life, I'll be her beast of burden.

And from today, I won't let you speak her name.

You and I are mortals.

When we speak of her, we sin in heaven's eyes.

You violated her. What use is saying all that?

- It's just cheap regret! - Think I don't know you?

You envy me; you hate Yang Guo.

You want this exposed so Yang lives in bitter regret.

Yes! I want that bastard Yang Guo

to suffer a big loss. I want his heart broken.

If I catch Yang Guo,

I'll taunt him.

I'll break his limbs,

make him wish he was dead.

Zhao Zhijing.

Must you be merciless?

I needn't be.

Back at Quanzhen, I'll reveal Xiao Long Nu's violation.

What rot are these Taoists spouting?

I'm not listening.

Is what they said true?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Traitor!

When you defiled Xiao Long Nu,

- did you feel relief? - Shut up!

Is what you were saying true?

Isn't it obvious.

It's true.

Kill me.

Even if I kill you 1000 times...

or 10,000 times...

I am no longer pure.

No longer.... I can no longer love Guo'er like before.

And still you won't kill him?

ZhiBing, you're lucky; grab this chance.

Heroine Long, we're leaving.

Go, she isn't killing you.

Guo'er.

Guo'er.

You useless two always make trouble.

Guo'er.

- Mom. - Guo'er.

Guo'er.

Chief Lu, Brother Wu, how is Guo'er?

Chief Huang. Wu and I tried to heal Yang

but there's no improvement.

Yang, nothing can happen to you.

Otherwise I...

I'd rather us three died.

I never thought Yang was heroic. I regret mistreating him.

We'd be dead but for him.

- Yes. - You two, shut up.

Past is past. It's vital to wake Guo'er.

Did Li Mochou have my baby sister?

Are you two mute?!

I think that witch held a child.

Madam Guo, it's yours?

Li Mochou is vicious; Xiang'er will suffer with her.

You're useless.

- You didn't get the baby back. - That's unfair.

We couldn't even help Yang.

You...

You two shut up!

We didn't know it's your baby.

- But... - Enough!

- Still meddling? - I...

Boys, take Guo'er to his room.

Yes, Teacher.

- Come, be careful. - Slowly.

Hero Guo. My low skills can't help.

Rong'er and I haven't recovered; Brother Wu is injured.

Guo'er can't be saved?

Blame his Teacher!

Maybe she has the Needle antidote.

Li Mochou is her senior.

Do we have no solution?

Amituofo.

Greetings.

Disciple greets Reverend.

Disciple greets Reverend.

Fine, enough courtesy.

Reverend, why are you here?

Fate is why.

Reverend Yideng sent me to aid you.

Someone is poisoned; I came at the right time.

I'll take you straight to Guo'er.

This way.

Mom, who is he?

He's Tianzhu, a great Indian sage.

He healed Yideng when he mistakenly took a poison I sent.

So Yang Guo can be saved?

Guo'er might live.

How's Guo'er?

From Yang's pulse, along with Needle poison,

there's a strange poison.

I don't know what it is.

It's Passion Flower poison.

Passion Flower poison?

Passion Flower was extinct.

Scriptures say it ravaged lives.

Wenshu Shili, Bodhisattva of Wisdom, eradicated the plant.

So it exists in Central Plains. I've never seen it; I can't cure it.

Can Yang Guo be saved?

Amituofo.

I'll do my best

but it depends on Yang Guo's fate.

This...

Where am I?

Guo'er is conscious.

Take it slowly.

This is Xiangyang.

Brother Yang.

You saved my sons and me.

Great benefactor, thank you.

- Senior, thanks for a miracle. - SanTong, get up.

- It's great you woke. - Uncle Guo.

Why am I here?

Brothers Zhu and Wu brought you.

Do you feel better?

I'm much better.

I just have no strength.

Uncle Guo, how's your injury?

Don't worry.

After 7 days' rest, I'm almost healed.

Was I unconscious for seven days.

Why hasn't my Passion Flower poison taken effect?

Where's GuGu?

She left.

She left? Where'd she go?

How would I know?

Fu'er.

No, I must find her.

- You're unwell. - Guo'er.

- Guo'er! - Reverend!

Jing'er, allow me.

What's wrong?

Amituofo.

He fainted in weakness.

He'll wake after rest.

Guo'er.

You're awake. Come.

Sit.

Guo'er, it's good you woke up.

Reverend Tianzhu is world best.

Thanks for your efforts.

When Passion Flower poisoned me, I knew I'd die.

I actually didn't save you.

Senior, Yang was poisoned by Freezing Needle.

If you didn't save him, how's he...

Amituofo.

Yang sacrificed himself to suck out the boys' poison.

Freezing Needle poison is potent.

If you swallow it, you die

but Yang is still standing.

The Passion Flower activation date miraculously passed.

Senior, why's Yang fine?

Yang was poisoned by Passion Flower, then Freezing Needle.

They're fighting each other, so neither are yet fatal.

Then it's Guo'er's blessing in disguise?

Is Guo'er's Passion Flower poison cured?

Yang's Freezing Needle poison

can't cure his Passion Flower poison

but it can defer the fatal attack.

So Yang's poison can still strike?

Please help save Guo'er.

Shanzai (peace).

Yang's saving others was meritorious.

I believe Yang will reap his reward.

There's really a way?

But I must go to Passionless Valley

to research Passion Flower

to create an antidote.

Okay, I'll come with you to grab that hag's antidote.

Brother Wu, I'll come too.

We'll get it by force, or Reverend will make one.

Everyone. You did a lot for my illness.

I can't accept this.

Yang, you can't say that.

You saved me and my sons; I'll get that antidote.

Right, also...

You must refrain from sentimental thoughts.

Or if Passion Flower strikes, even God can't save you.

If you want me not to miss GuGu, I might as well die.

Guo'er, how can you say that?

If you die, you won't see your GuGu.

Yes, Guo'er.

Don't you hope to see Miss Long.

Passion Flower poison is unusual.

Poison unites with sentiment.

It's hard to neutralise your severe poison.

Why do those who love deeply

suffer with Passion Flower?

Is it decided by heaven?

If you cut emotional ties,

you can cure Passion Flower.

GuGu and I have a deep love.

How can we just cut ties?

Death is a fact of life.

Everyone, don't worry about me.

In fact, going to Passionless Valley isn't any trouble.

Importantly, you need to endure.

Remember this.

Great, she didn't pursue.

Take a break, drink water.

Drink.

Still fretting?

Why didn't she kill me last night?

Why didn't she kill me?

Why?

Can you not think of that little witch?

I mean to say,

save your energy.

Drink water; think of how to get to Chongyang Palace.

That little witch has good kungfu; if she catches up, we can't beat her.

Alright?

Okay, drink some water.

Come.

It's all over! That bitch followed us.

What do we do, Junior?

I wronged her.

It's fine if she kills me.

What are you doing?

What are you saying? Has your brain fried?

Go ahead and die. Don't drag me with you.

What do you intend?

Zhen ZhiBing.

You sinned.

I'll clean this up for our Teachers.

Fine.

Rather than your constant insults, let's fight it out.

Zhen ZhiBing.

You did shameful acts.

You disgraced Quanzhen.

Quit the rot, kill me!

I will kill you today.

Come on.

Stop fighting.

What trick are you pulling?

Put down your sword.

Come on.

What are you doing?

See? Xiao Long Nu didn't follow us.

She couldn't tell we pretended to fight.

Let's go.

She didn't chase us; let's go.

Hey, let's go.

Where?

Back to Mount Zhongnan.

It's Quanzhen territory; Xiao Long Nu can't take us all on.

Let's go.

- Miss Long. - Don't call her.

I was about to look for you.

Don't go.

Are you going to Passionless Valley with your dad?

I asked a question.

Ever since you came back,

you've been avoiding me.

What are you up to?

We're not avoiding you.

That's right. If that's all, we're leaving.

You can't go.

You're behaving oddly.

Tell me what's going on

or you can't leave.

You're betrothed to Yang.

Why do you still provoke us?

Yes, Sister, why bother us.

I'm betrothed to Yang Guo?

It's no such thing.

How long will you lie?

For years, we've been fighting in jealousy over you.

The truth is,

we're not good enough. We won't bother you again.

I'm betrothed to Yang Guo? There's nothing between us.

Don't listen to gossip.

Yang Guo said his Mom-in-law taught him Dog Beating.

How can't it be true?

Ridiculous.

Damn Yang Guo slandered me!

No, come to see Yang Guo.

- Let's clarify this. - Sister.

Yang Guo is your parents' chosen son-in-law.

You're a matched pair. Don't seek us again.

Enough, Big Brother.

Our Teachers are waiting for us.

Let's go.

Hey!

Yang Guo.

Clear up what you said.

What do you mean?

What did you tell the Wu boys?

What did I say?

You still pretend not to know?

Why'd you tell them we're betrothed?

Neither can defeat you.

Did you tell them to avoid me?

Sure. It's my fault.

Circumstances demanded it; I hope you forgive me.

I have a reputable name.

What right had you to slander me?

Yes, I spouted nonsense

but I had no ill intent; it was for their good.

You even said your Mom-in-law taught you kungfu?!

I did speak carelessly

but it was a dangerous situation.

The Wu boys were fighting to the death.

I could only tell them this lie to stop their wishful thinking.

That's why I said that.

Okay. I'll sort this out later.

What about baby Sis? Where'd you take her?

Sorry.

I didn't protect her properly.

Li Mochou took her.

You despicable person.

You planned to swap Sis for your cure?

I had no such intent; I really wanted to save her.

I promise, once I recover, I'll rescue her.

Li Mochou is your Teacher's Sister.

She is, but they never got along.

Never got on?

Why'd Li Mochou take Sis for the antidote?

I never contemplated such thoughts.

Never contemplated?!

Your Teacher admitted it.

What did my Teacher say?

She said she wanted to swap Sis for the cure.

Yes.

My Teacher thought of doing that

but it was only an idea, and we couldn't risk the baby.

No risk!

Sis wasn't a day old, and you gave her to a ruthless killer.

Yet you say you didn't risk her!

You dirty liar!

When you were an orphan, how'd my parents treat you?

If they hadn't taken you to Peach Blossom Isle,

you'd have starved to death.

Now you betrayed our family,

giving Sis to the enemy!

Then why didn't I take her directly to Passionless Valley!

It's difficult for you travel in your ill state

so you got the Seniors' help.

Okay, say what you like. Where's my GuGu?

You're really a bad person. "Like Master, like pupil".

Your Teacher isn't a good person.

Insult me all you like;

don't insult my Teacher!

So what if I insult her?

She talked improperly.

My Teacher is refined.

Your warped mind twisted her words.

Warped? I twisted things?

As Tomb Sect leader,

she acted without dignity, saying...

"Be happy together".

"Take care of him. You're a perfect match".

"Tell him not to miss me."

"I won't blame him."

My GuGu really said this?

Not only that.

She gave me this sword,

saying it pairs with your sword. It's all nonsense!

You liar!

You stole my GuGu's's sword!

I stole her...?

Okay.

You respect her so much; I'll tell you something to madden you!

That's right.

Your GuGu is beautiful, and skilled in kungfu,

but she acted improperly.

What?!

She unrespectably sneaked around with a Quanzhen Taoist!

She hates Quanzhen! Why'd she sneak around?!

It was much more inappropriate.

I'm telling you.

My GuGu is pure. One more lie, I'll rip off your mouth!

Sure, she did it, I can't say it.

What purity, being intimate with that Taoist!

What did you say?

I overheard it myself.

Quanzhen ZhiJing and ZhiBing were arguing.

I heard that ZhiBing embraced your GuGu, and this and that.

Zhen ZhiBing didn't deny it.

He just said not to be so loud.

What "this and that"?

How'd I know?

How could it be good?

Your GuGu knows what good things she did. She has no shame!

Rotten rascal.

No-one slapped me since I was young.

You dare to slap me?

I should slap you.

I'll kill you!

Mom!

Dad! Mom!

It's bad!

Why's there so much blood?

Why are you holding this sword?

It wasn't me.

What's going on? Tell me.

It's Yang Guo.

What's wrong with Guo'er?

He bullied me.

He took my baby sister.

I.....

I cut off his arm.

What? You!

Don't, Jing!

- Guo'er! - Jing.

Mom, check Yang Guo. He's bleeding profusely.

You wretch. Seriously.

Let's go.

Guo'er... Guo'er!

Where is Guo'er?

He...

He was here.

Fu'er.

How'd you do this insane thing?

I didn't do it on purpose.

You dare say that?

Guo'er is severely poisoned, and you wounded him?

- You! - Jing.

It's vital to find Guo'er. She...

Guo'er is badly hurt yet you defend her?

He can't have gotten far.

Guo'er!

Brother Jing.

My time is up for Passion Flower but I'm still alive.

Freezing Needle neutralised it and prolonged my life.

It will break out fatally sometime. Is this my fate?

Am I going to die?

GuGu.

- Hero Guo. - What is it?

We searched the city and beyond

but we can't find Yang Guo.

It's been a night.

Rong'er. Where would Guo'er go?

His character is strong.

He suffered a calamity.

He won't want to see us.

Jing, don't worry. He has good fortune.

Guo'er was weakened, and now he's badly injured.

And he has a fatal dose of Passion Flower poison.

It's all your fault.

He must want to avoid us.

You!

Fu'er. Shut up!

You cut off his arm, yet don't repent.

If I let you live, who else will you harm?

- I'll beat you to death! - Brother Jing.

Fu'er, hide now.

You're just recovering. Don't be rash.

That's right, Hero Guo.

Don't be rash. Yang's kungfu is good.

He should be alright; your health is important.

That's right.

If I don't take revenge,

I'm not a real man.

Even if I'm cured of the poison,

I will be disabled.

I'll be ridiculed by others.

In this world, only GuGu won't reject me.

I must find GuGu.

But before I find her, I'm afraid... I will be dead.

What a giant eagle!

Brother Eagle.

Your strength is impressive.

You understood what I said?

You're asking how my arm got injured?

It's a long story.

Let's not talk about it.

What's in your mouth?

It's snake gall bladder?

How smelly! Want me to eat this?

Okay then.

You might be my last friend before I die.

I'll listen to you.

Brother Eagle. This snake gall bladder is really...

How did I get here?

Maybe Brother Eagle flew me here.

Brother Eagle.

This fruit is for me?

It doesn't hurt much anymore.

I know. Brother Eagle,

the gall bladder cured my injuries.

No wonder my blood flow feels better.

Thank you.

There's a rock table and chairs.

Someone once lived here?

I roamed Jianghu 30 years

Killed all foes, beat all heroes

No equal under the sky

I live as a hermit

with an Eagle companion; in vain seeking a match

My fate is loneliness

Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai (Seeking-A-Loss)

Did Dugu Qiubai live here?

You know where he is now?

So he's dead?

Brother Eagle.

Dugu Qiubai was your friend,

so you are my Senior.

It's appropriate if I call you Brother Eagle.

I don't have much life left; I will come back here.

Jing. Your health and skills improved.

Rong'er.

I'll look for Guo'er tomorrow.

For fast information,

Beggar Clan is best in the world.

To track someone down,

you won't do any better.

But...

But...

I can't wait day by day.

I understand how you feel

but if you leave Xiangyang,

Mongols will attack. Won't the people suffer?

By the way.

Is there news of Fu'er?

Not yet.

That wretch is too much.

She created a disaster then hid!

I don't believe it.

How long will she hide?

Fu'er, it's Mom; open the door.

Mom.

Mom, you finally came.

When can I go home?

Not yet; your dad is still angry.

Do you want to live?

But, Mom, look.

Is this place fit to live?

I can't get tea served.

You're here for refuge, not comfort.

But, Mom, look.

I don't even have a servant.

I can't go out for a walk.

I'm so bored.

Isn't it like jail?

I chose a desolate place.

Beggar Clan won't find it.

You caused such a calamity, you should suffer.

Why were you so impetuous?

Mom.

Enough; eat the food hot.

Stop crying. What use are tears?

Mom, I miss home.

Please beg Dad for me.

Your Dad usually heeds me

but when he's stubborn, he listens to no-one.

I hope Guo'er is safe and sound

or I won't be able to protect you.

Help me!

Brother Eagle.

Why'd you bring me here?

You don't want me to go down?

Though I'm disabled and poisoned, I don't want to die.

I have to get revenge; you want me to suicide?

Something's at the bottom?

I only have one arm now.

Want me to climb down? You expect too much.

Brother Eagle, I'm a man.

I can't let you scorn me.

I'll do my best.

Don't hit me.

Brother Eagle.

I wouldn't have come without you.

Sword Tomb!

'Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai'.

'Warrior under heaven buried his swords here'

'invincible and unchallenged; useless; the agony'

This Senior was a loner, with a temperament like mine.

Even if I survive with one arm,

the chance of me becoming extraordinary is very slim.

This Senior Master had impressive kungfu and high aspirations.

I wish I'd been born in his times

but I'm too late to meet this Elder.

It's really a pity.

I don't know animal language,

otherwise I'd listen to Brother Eagle tell Senior Dugu's story.

That's right.

Senior Dugu had superior kungfu. Did he leave a Sword Manual?

Is this place the Sword Tomb?

Are there treasures under here?
