EPISODE 34

What's the point of me living?

Want to help me steal the Flag?

I wonder where that monk hid it.

It won't be simple.

Do you know where it might be?

That's trivial; you're wasting time.

It's not a waste; you're no fun.

If Little Huang Rong was here, she'd help steal the Flag.

- It's time; let's go look. - I'm not going.

I told you...steal the Flag; problems gone.

Believe me once?

- I haven't solved my problems. - Don't ponder.

I'm older. I could fret; but one must be happy.

Don't dwell on unhappy things or you'll feel bad.

You have no unhappy thoughts?

Yes. Of course I do.

But I have fun to forget; if I play, I don't fret.

You must be happy.

Don't overthink; steal the Flag.

- Customer. - What are you doing?

A Taoist sent you a note.

- For me? Strange. - I'm going. - Go.

It's over there.

- So sneaky. - My respects.

By midnight I'm tired! Have concern for old folk.

I'm at fault; it's like this.

You bet Jinlun you'd steal the Flag.

I risked my life to infiltrate the Mongol camp.

I saw Jinlun hide the Flag, and came to tell you.

Damn rascal, don't tell me.

Senior.

Senior.

You bit me? Stop spitting.

Senior, I intended well.

I mean no harm.

If you tell me where the Flag is,

won't I find it easily? How's that fun?

Senior.

Senior, I'm worried.

Your kungfu is famed; the Flag's no big deal.

What if you can't find it? It will be embarrassing.

Being embarrassed isn't good.

Good sword. Who am I?

- Your Senior, yes? - Yes.

- I'd embarrass you? - No, Senior.

- Would I? - Hand it to me, Senior.

Hand!... Why'd you take my stuff?

Let's have a race.

Damn rascal, don't joke. I'm serious about this.

Senior.

Could Jinlun have hidden the Flag in a special place?

Don't you want to know?

The more secret the hiding place, the more fun it is.

So I'm warning you, don't tell me

or your head will be like this,

2 pieces, 4, 8, 16, ripped pieces.

It's late; let's find the Flag.

Senior.

Senior. Not...

Didn't I tell you not to tell me?

- Shh. - I'll beat you. Beat you.

What do you want to say?

- I can't talk. - I'm letting you talk.

Senior, I can't tell you.

Don't talk nonsense.

You didn't want me to talk.

You like arguing? See my mouth. Scram!

Wait for me.

Strange, I searched everywhere.

Where'd it go...?

Where'd it go?

- Shh. - What?

- Sit, sit. - Don't touch me!

Touching me again.

- Stop or I'll beat you. - Okay, I won't touch.

I said not to tell me.

I won't.

Okay, I'll burn this camp down to find it.

- No! You mustn't burn it. - Why can't I burn it?

- Gently. - Senior, lower your voice.

Did you connive with the Mongols to cause me trouble?

Absolutely not!!!

Senior.

Senior.

I'm risking my life to tell you this big secret.

Jinlun, that snake, buried gunpowder here.

He wants you to light a fire.

If you do light a fire - BOOM!

Blood and bones will fly.

Scared me to death.

ZhiJing, you finally said something important.

It's a mean trick. I almost got trapped by it.

Don't be angry.

Cool down; I'm thinking.

Jinlun is despicable.

How can we reason with him?

I'm taking you to the Flag.

No!

I want to win fairly by myself.

He doesn't like things obvious. Why don't I tempt him?

So amazing.

You're really amazing.

Why's it so heavy?

- Come, sit. - Don't touch.

- Sit. - Want me to sit?

- Sit. - I don't want to sit!

Okay, don't sit...

Since you want to play fair,

- I won't disturb you; I'm going. - To do what?

I have things to do. I... I'm going to that hill for something.

If you can't find the Flag, look for me.

- Go. - Bye.

I'm off to steal the Flag; see who gets it!

He's tricking me. See who wins!

If Senior won't steal the Flag, I'll do it.

Didn't Jinlun hide the Flag in a cave between two trees?

Why can't I see it?

That looks like it.

A cave between two trees?

He can't see such a big cave?

Qiu Chuji, how'd you accept such a disciple?

Royal Flag, I'm coming.

It's wonderful he took the bait.

He'll be grateful to me; I improved on Jinlun's plan.

Royal Flag, where are you?

It's the Flag!

I looked everywhere for you.

Royal Flag, you're right here.

What bit me?

I'm bitten. Help me!

Help me!

- Senior, what's wrong? - Help me!

- What's wrong? - Help me!

Didn't you get the flag? What's going on?

I got a poison bite. It's so painful.

It's okay.

High Monk! Senior is...

Zhou Botong, did you get the Flag?

Did you win the bet or I?

Who knew this Old Urchin would lose his life to you?

Damn monk, how can you contaminate a game with poison?

Zhou Botong. I'll tell you how you'll die today.

You're poisoned by Multicoloured Snow Spiders from Tibet snowy mountains.

There is no known antidote for this lethal poison.

Once bitten, death follows.

You won't last much longer.

Damn monk, you're despicable, evil and cruel!

So Jinlun duped me into luring Botong to die by poison.

High Monk!

Didn't we agree we'd...?!

We did agree, but stop acting now.

This...

Senior, I didn't know.

I knew the Flag was here, not the poison.

I'll make you suffer before I die.

Go and ask Qiu Chuji to kill you.

I wasn't involved in this, Senior.

This Taoist is very good.

Fourth Prince will name him an honorable Quanzhen Teacher.

Wrong!

Sure, yes.

How could Quanzhen Seniors take him seriously?

You two are sons-of-bitches!

Zhou Botong, I'll teach you not to mock me.

- Are you okay? - Xiao Long Nu.

You can only beat him with poison? Hand me the antidote.

Xiao Long Nu, he's dead.

I'll send you with him.

Jade Bee Gold Needle

Gold-Silk Glove

Your corpse suffered.

What's biting me; it really hurts!

You didn't die?

I'm half-dead, half-alive.

I wasn't dead enough or alive enough.

That's great. Jinlun is outside.

- I'll take out the needles. - Okay.

Zhou Botong was lethally poisoned.

You can go in and collect Senior's corpse.

What about Xiao Long Nu?

She lacks Yang Guo's help.

With Zhou Botong dead, I'll deal with her.

Relax. You're...

safe.

But what if that didn't happen?

My Senior is like an immortal.

If he didn't die, it's serious.

Don't worry.

Damn shameless monk

pricked my corpse with needles.

They were my Jade Bee Needles, with bee venom.

Jade Bee honey neutralises bee poison.

Can you apply it to make me feel better?

Stop joking, Zhou Botong.

How would I feel like joking?

Did your Bee Needles counteract Snow Spider venom?

Bee venom fought spider venom?

Right, fight poison with poison.

I better do good deeds.

This is great.

But if Jinlun charges in, we're doomed.

What's scary? If that damn monk enters,

your needles can prick his butt.

Once I recover, he'll piss his pants.

But I used all my Needles.

Xiao Long Nu! How'd you use up precious Needles so fast?!

That's an annoying problem.

I really have none left.

Xiao Long Nu ran out of Needles. Let's kill them.

They're saying that to lure me in.

They hope I lower my guard.

That old ploy won't trick me.

What's scary? If that damn monk enters...

He's talking, he's alive.

He's not dead yet.

Shut up!

He might be powerful

but he'll die from poison by tomorrow morning.

Okay, let's guard here.

I have a better way to stay on guard until the morning.

Feel better?

This Snow Spider venom is too strong.

There's no spot I can circulate Chi without problems.

What if Jinlun comes in?

They must fear your Bee Needles, so they won't venture in.

But I have none.

Xiao Long Nu.

Remember I blurted you had no Needles.

Those two bastards heard

and thought we were lying, trying to lure them in

so they'll wait a while.

It's vital to purge the poison.

- Here. - It hurts.

Please don't leave.

You must conserve energy to fight that monk.

You rest, while I use neigong to heal.

Alright.

This poison is too strong.

Instead of suffering here...

I'll kill that monk! I'm coming.

Zhou Botong.

What's going on?

See that rotten monk!

Look, isn't this ridiculous?

He set a trap; he's despicable.

- Filthy bastard! - Dirty donkey.

Senior's alive; I don't feel secure.

When they die, I'll rest.

Relax; they're trapped inside.

The poison web is impassable.

Teacher!

Teacher, you're here.

Taoist Zhen left; here's his note.

Let me read it.

Here.

- It's not for you. - Da'erba.

This Zhen ZhiBing.

He's really going to Mount Zhongnan to confess his crime.

Is he nuts?

Zhao. Do you think Zhen will confess

or will reveal your secrets?

That's impossible.

If that bastard tells our Teachers I fraternised with Mongols

and collaborated with you, I'm doomed.

Zhao, if you're in no hurry to go to Mount Zhongnan,

then wait to be Quanzhen Leader.

I'm doomed.

Wait for good news in 10 days.

High Monk.

My life is in your hands.

You don't trust me?

I won't dare not to.

I want to break this web.

Careful, it could be poisonous.

It's really poisonous.

He probably hoped we'd use our hands to destroy it.

One touch would've killed us.

Even if we can leave, Jinlun is outside.

Outside or inside, it's death.

Don't be irritated.

Think while you purge the poison.

Purge it how? Don't you know how formidable Multicoloured Snow Spider venom is?

If I don't die of poison, I'll die of boredom and starvation.

Being trapped in this cave for a long time won't be fun.

I could stay here a lifetime with Guo'er.

I'll die soon; aren't I good company?

Why's Guo'er better?

Guo'er's Quanzhen Sword can beat Jinlun.

Quanzhen Sword's easy; I can use it.

Guo'er and I use Jade Maiden Sword.

He and I must be full of love to unite swords.

I don't love you; but company is better.

What if we're stuck here for years?

Years ago I was trapped in a Peach Blossom Isle cave.

Was it strange, trapped alone?

That whole time, I was forced to fight with myself.

- Fight with yourself? - Yes, it's fun.

Want to see? Stand back.

Extend left hand, right hand grasps it.

Next, even more amazing- left attacks, right defends.

Mutual Hands Combat is my creation.

Using two hands, I could unite Quanzhen and Jade Maiden Swords.

but it's hard to learn.

Say it's hard, it will be; say it's easy, it will be.

Some people learn in a few days; others take forever.

You know Huang Rong and Guo Jing?

Who's smarter?

Madam Guo is more clever.

- Hero Guo is ordinary. - You mean he's stupid?

- Am I smart or stupid? - Crazy and silly.

Ah, you're right.

I taught Mutual Hands to Guo Jing.

It only took him a few days.

He taught Huang Rong; she couldn't do it.

In case he didn't teach properly,

I showed her the strokes, but she couldn't combine them.

Huang Rong failed at it.

Some learn; others never understand.

Stupid people surpass smart ones in this?

You don't believe me.

You're as smart as Huang Rong; your kungfu is near hers.

Try to draw a circle with your right hand, and a square with your left.

I said it's not easy!

- You studied it before? - No.

How'd you do it?

I emptied my mind and just drew.

Xiao Long Nu, you excelled.

- Can I learn Mutual Hands? - Sure! I'll teach you now.

Stand and watch.

- Did you see? - Let me try.

Xiao Long Nu, the secret is doing two things at once.

- Understand? - I understand.

- It's easy. - I know now.

We needn't fear Jinlun anymore.

- Let's go. - Where? - To get Jinlun's antidote.

- Think you can beat him? - Yes.

Teacher. Zhou Botong is poisoned by spiders.

Won't he be dead?

Unpredictably, Zhou Botong has strong neigong to fight poison.

Teacher, should we keep waiting?

You must watch your health.

Take your time.

Since he's still not dead,

then suffocate him.

- Da'erba. - Teacher.

- Get some kindling. - Okay.

Despite your sword skill, how do we break the web?

- What to do? - What if I break it with a Palm?

The spider web has no point of force; a Palm will do nothing.

Are you okay?

My poison flared up.

What are you looking for?

I found one.

What are you doing?

I remembered your needles made me feel better.

But this needle worsened the pain.

I got it.

Bee venom is the spider venom antidote; but this needle is useless.

Find me more needles, okay?

I really have none.

I have an idea.

How can Jade Bee Honey fight spiders?

A swarm of wild bees will benefit us.

Okay, Teacher.

- Light the fire. - Yes.

Teacher, smell that?

- It smells good. - I smell it.

The scent's coming from in there.

Teacher.

It's a mob of bees.

Don't move.

Looks like we can get out.

Speed it up; the pain's killing me.

So they used bees to tear the web.

Teacher, what do we do?

Just wait for them to exit, and despatch them.

Do your best; call even more bees.

The spider web tore.

Bees, please sting me.

Xiao Long Nu. I didn't think

you'd use bees to pass my web.

It's useless; your escape is your road to death.

Damn monk, ridiculous! Shut up.

See how we deal with you.

- You're okay? - Much better.

- Let's go. - Go.

Teacher, they came out.

Damn monk! Despicable scum.

You harmed me with spiders.

I'll use bees to sting you to death.

What crap, using bees to beat me.

I'll fight you alone.

Stupid monk, don't be arrogant.

Use Mutual Hands Combat to teach him a lesson.

Big Boy, what are you doing? Unbelievable!

Xiao Long Nu, no playing fair; summon your bees.

Bees, come and sting these bastards to death.

- What do we do? - Let's go.

Where are you running to?

- Are you okay? - This poison flare is painful.

Please get bees to sting me.

- We'll find bees in the forest. - Really? Okay.

Don't sting anymore; I'll die.

It hurts.

Your bees are amazing.

I feel good.

Are you okay now?

I'm really fine now.

So can you teach me to call bees?

You want to learn to call bees?

It's not impossible, but I have tasks.

You already had a problem; it won't go away.

Teach me to call bees; then settle your troubles.

It can't be learned quickly; I have no time.

I'm really smart.

I'll master it and help with your problem.

You can't help me.

You won't teach me. How can you be so petty?!

Did my shouting scare you?

- Where are you going? - Mount Zhongnan.

- I'm going there. - You're going too?

Yes. I'll deal with Zhao ZhiJing.

Let's go together.

I'm not going anymore.

You're not going?

I've a more important matter.

- Fine. - Take care of yourself.

I can figure it out on my own.

Brother Eagle. I didn't expect to finish

but now I know sword principles.

My Passion Flower poison can break out any time; I'll die.

Staying here is pointless.

Before I die, I must see my GuGu.
