EPISODE 40

Where'd it go?

Senior, it's Zhao ZhiJing.

Promise to spare my life; I'll return the honey.

Or else I'll eat it; I'll die anyway.

Think it over.

You...don't touch my honey; let's negotiate.

Promise to save my life!

Senior, his heinous sin can't be forgiven.

Brother ZhiJing, don't eat my honey, okay?

Promise quickly to save me; hurry or I'll eat it.

Brother ZhiJing, how about this?

I can promise you anything; but let's see if the honey's genuine.

I guarantee it's genuine. It's real, Senior!

Well, it's hard to tell.

Let me sniff the bottle.

Okay!

Smell it, Senior; just one sniff.

Here you go.

I'm smelling it now, almost done, just one whiff.

This...this...this...

Senior, save me!

Senior, save me!

Save me!

You bastard, Zhao ZhiJing!

I'll see if you're dead.

Rise!

Zhao ZhiJing, you shameless betrayer.

You caused ZhiBing to die.

This is rightful punishment.

He made me lose a bottle of honey.

Qiu ChuJi! Your good disciple did this to me!

You have to beg Miss Long for 8 or 10 bottles for me!

If Miss Long is alright,

have as many as you want.

But if she's badly hurt or dead, don't mention honey.

I fear many in Quanzhen will die by Yang Guo's hand.

I don't care! Let's go!

Senior.

Teacher!

Hurry! Hurry!

Senior!

Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu, it's Zhou Botong!

Young Hero Yang, how's Miss Long's injury?

Use these Wonder Pills to heal her injury.

You're right to sincerely offer good stuff to save her.

- Indeed. - Good boy. - Hero Yang, Miss Long.

Quanzhen Sect is here.

Are you here?

There are no footprints. seems they didn't return.

Yes; seems they're not here, but on Mount Zhongnan.

Oh no, oh no.

Qiu ChuJi, your worthless disciple wasted my honey. I hate you forever!

- Senior! - Don't address me!

Miss Long must recover or Quanzhen is in trouble.

Here.

Let's meet inside.

Here.

We're finally home.

We're home at last.

Look at how good she is.

Come, let's go in.

The food went bad.

I found Jade Bee honey; drink it, then sleep.

It's our wedding day.

I want you by my side; don't leave me.

Okay, I'll stay by you.

It's cold and empty here.

It lacks a festive feeling.

I got it.

GuGu.

Look.

Who uses white candles at a wedding?

It's not done yet.

Wrap red cloth around it.

Here.

That's more like it.

But I don't look like a bride.

- Guo'er, help me up. - What's wrong?

Let's go to Founder's room and open her chest. Okay?

Okay, I'll help you.

Though I lived here a long time,

I never entered her room.

You were so mischievous then, I wouldn't let you in.

And now?

You're my husband; of course you can.

It's that box.

Granny Sun said it contains Founder's wedding items.

She never married so these items are unused.

Look at this outfit; it's high quality cloth.

Doesn't it look new?

It's very pretty.

This is even prettier. Look.

These are Founder's accessories.

Founder aimed to marry Wang ChongYang; she chose these carefully.

I'll dress up for you.

No, you're exhausted. Rest; do it tomorrow.

No, I want to dress as your bride.

I didn't want to dress up to marry Gongsun Zhi.

Okay. Let me see you dressed up.

~ Ask the world, what is love ~

Don't move.

~ binding beyond life into death? ~

~ over vast miles, as pair we fly ~

- Do I look good? - Very good.

From now on, do I call you Wife, or GuGu?

Calling me GuGu doesn't seem right.

It's strange to call me Wife.

I'll use your childhood name; what is it?

Childhood name?

I don't have one.

My Teacher called me Long'er.

Long'er?

I'll call you Long'er; you call me Guo'er. That's fair.

Wait till we have a child.

I won't call you Long�er.

I'll call you "Child's Mother".

Child's Mother.

Child's Mother.

Child's Mother!

Child's Mother!

I want to be your child's mother.

I want to watch our child grow.

I want to be your child's mother.

Long'er.

Long'er.

We didn't die today.

You didn't die, nor did I.

Since we didn't die today, let's live well.

Don't think about tomorrow.

Where'd this fairy come from? So stunning.

I'm the most, most, most, most lucky man on earth.

It's good you know.

I dressed up, but there's no groom's outfit.

You're left out.

I brought in the chest.

Let's see what I can use.

I'm a groom today.

Will this do?

It does the job nicely; you're like a groom.

What's this?

ChongYang left letters to Founder Lin.

Let's read them.

That's not nice.

When we married before ChongYang's portrait, you saw that Taoist grimacing.

I bet these letters are lovey-dovey.

I'd like to see those oldies' reactions to these letters.

True; Founder Lin yearned to be with ChongYang.

We're luckier than them.

Open one.

- I'll read one. - Just one.

Here we go.

Dear Sister Ying.

Recently, my division battled the enemy at Evil Storm Hill...

ChongYang was such a Han hero.

This is about military affairs, and nothing of personal feelings.

No wonder Founder Lin was cold hearted.

That's not so.

Founder liked receiving those letters.

Why do you say that?

Think about it; ChongYang wrote in a critical situation.

Even then, he wrote to her; she was on his mind.

Sounds logical; keep reading.

Look, Founder Lin was injured

but healed slowly.

Your injury may heal too.

I'll recover slowly.

You're almost done.

Might as well read the last one.

Sister Ying. In the north I found a Chilled Jade stone.

It cures all illnesses. It will help your injury.

Is it the Chilled Jade Bed?

It must refer to that.

I never imagined ChongYang gave her that bed.

ChongYang based that on fact; he found the Bed.

Or he wouldn't give it to her.

Founder's bad injury was cured, right?

But Teacher never said it heals.

This Cold Jade Bed has special properties

if it heals injuries.

Guo'er, what's on your mind?

The Jade Bed can heal you,

but must I grind the stone as medicine or not?

But Granny Sun served Founder and my Teacher for years.

If the Jade Bed can heal injuries, she'd have told me.

And Teacher died from bad injuries.

Don't be like this.

Guo'er.

How was your Teacher injured?

Teacher hardly went out.

But one year, Li Mochou caused trouble outside.

When Teacher went outside to help her,

an evil guy attacked Teacher,

then he broke in here.

She almost dropped the Dragon Stone to die with him.

Luckily, Teacher hit him with a golden needle

and sealed his acupoints.

But it's strange;

Sister Li secretly released his acupoints.

He struck Teacher with poison.

Which sect was he from?

Teacher wouldn't tell me.

She didn't want me to avenge her.

She was a good person.

After Teacher was injured, she moved out of her room

to avoid the Jade Bed.

She said the Jade Bed helped kungfu practice,

but avoid cold air after injury.

She was right.

We practised neigong unclothed to disperse heat.

Chill worsens internal injuries.

Why'd ChongYang say the Jade Bed heals injuries?

What's the reason?

"Cures all illnesses"?

Guo'er.

My Teacher couldn't work out

why Sister unsealed his acupoints.

I don't know.

Li Mochou did so much evil, yet is alive.

Long�er never caused harm but her life is cut short.

Oh God, oh God.

You really won't open your eyes?

If God has mercy and lets Long�er recover,

I'll do anything.

Ouyang Feng. It's Ouyang Feng.

Guo'er! Guo'er!

Guo'er, where are you?

Guo'er! Guo'er!

Long'er, I'm here.

Guo'er, don't leave me; I dreamed you were gone. I...

Don't worry; I'll never leave you.

I've thought about things.

There are good places to go.

When you recover, we'll move south and raise chickens and ducks

and live a country life.

And we'll have many children. Okay?

Do you want girls or boys?

I prefer girls; then we can have many Xiao Long Nu�s.

Why'd you call out 'Ouyang Feng'?

Granny Sun decided that evil guy must be Ouyang Feng;

few people could harm Teacher.

Even if my Godfather was evil,

can all bad things be blamed on him?

Your Teacher sealed his points?

That's not it.

That evil guy was Godfather.

Why?

Your Teacher got it wrong.

Li Mochou never touched his acupoints.

If not her, how's it possible?

Godfather could reverse meridians,

but when meridians reverse, all acupoints shift places.

Reverse meridians?

You can be saved.

You can be saved?! Saved!

What are you saying?

The Jade Bed can cure you.

You'll be my wife a long, long time.

The Jade Bed, used with Jade Maiden skill, heals injury.

You're too injured to use Jade Maiden.

That's also why, when Godfather injured your Teacher,

she couldn't use this Bed.

But if you reverse meridians on this Bed, it will aid you.

Reverse meridians? On the Bed?

Yes; it means you can use Jade Maiden skill.

I...I still don't understand.

I teach you basic energy reversal.

I push heat through each point; you reverse your energy.

Chill neutralises heat; you open major acupoints.

You'll improve a bit in seven days.

- That's great; you're so smart. - Come. Oh no.

What's wrong?

Hear that little rascal bawling.

Xiang'er can't be noisy at vital moments.

With your heavy injuries, you can't be disturbed.

It's dangerous; a disturbed mind is bad for healing.

I'll find her a quiet place to sleep.

Madam Guo, I don't understand. Since we're at Mount Zhongnan,

why not go straight to the Tomb to save your daughter?

Thank you for your concern

but I have ties with Quanzhen.

Since we're here, let's greet them.

Based on what you said,

if my baby is with Guo�er, she won't be in danger.

Since you decided, I won't insist.

Madam Guo. Leader Qiu invites you up the mountain.

Okay. Let's go up.

Taoist Li, you come too.

I'm not going up.

I'll wait here for you.

Chongyang Palace is righteous; how can a demon go?

- Let's go. - Please.

Relax; I took care of Xiang.

- Is she hungry? - She's asleep after gruel.

We can't delay curing you.

I'll direct heat to your acupoints.

Circulate your energy; open the acupoints.

Once heat reaches the Bed, your injury can improve a bit.

To clear your 36 major acupoints takes up to 14 days.

Normal distractions can prolong it.

But our isolated Tomb is ideal for this skill.

Quanzhen injured me.

ChongYang set up this Tomb and Jade Bed.

That evens it out.

Will we let Monk Jinlun off?

While I live, living in peace is good enough.

Okay, we'll do what you want.

After you recover, we won't fight anyone.

Luckily Miss Fu didn't cut off both arms

or you couldn't heal me.

I still have my legs.

I'd use my feet.

Don't complain then.

Let's begin.

Priest Qiu. Yang Guo and Miss Long created an uproar.

Rong'er, don't say that.

I'm uneasy about this matter.

They're both missing; I've had no news of them.

So they could be back in the Tomb.

They went to the Tomb?

Rong'er, how's that possible?

Li Mochou said its main door is sealed.

There's a water-tunnel entry.

Guo'er stole a large trunk

to take Miss Long there.

That's what happened.

Rong'er, you're like your dad.

'Wisdom is learned, but intelligence is endowed'.

Mom. Let's go to the Tomb to save Xiang'er.

Although Yang Guo is eccentric,

he's honourable and righteous.

We must find him.

But first meet an old friend.

Old friend?

Senior.

Trying to scare me?

Senior, see who's here?

Who?

Little Huang Rong.

Little Huang Rong.

You haven't changed in years.

You changed little; still beautiful.

Why'd you drop in? Where's my foolish Brother?

Don't look; Jing's in Xiangyang.

Why'd you find me?

I have a task.

But first meet someone special.

Brother Yelu, show yourself.

Teacher!

I wish you well.

May you always prosper!

Same to you.

Teacher, you musn't!

Senior, he is...?

Come here.

I said not to tell others I'm your Teacher! You forgot?!

- I didn't tell Madam Guo. - Why be so stupid?

Paper can't wrap fire.

Who in Quanzhen would take a student under strange rules? Only you.

You know me best.

But as your disciple, why can't he tell your name?

You really don't know?

As a child, he was like me- chubby and playful.

I wanted a Junior who'd be fun.

He came up short.

As he ages, he's unlike you; to your regret, he follows rules.

- Right? - You...

Why are you no fun? His kungfu's fine, so...

Brother Qiu, you take him... to form the Quanzhen Eight!

Teacher, I'm no Taoist.

You are if I say so.

Yes, yes.

So be it.

Seniors, a Mongol army arrived!

I see. We rejected their Edict; a Mongol attack was inevitable.

I didn't expect it so soon.

What will you do?

Mongols will shed our blood.

Even if we had superb skills,

we can't stop thousands of Mongols.

I made plans to retreat west, deep into the mountains.

If you retreat, how will you keep face?

Senior, Founder ChongYang worked hard to establish our sect.

How can his work go to waste?

I don't wish to go; but we must protect Quanzhen members

so we may return someday.

Is he for real?

Taoist Qui is right. Where there's life, there's hope.

Okay, we'll listen.

Okay.

Brother, I humbly must leave. Take care; may your children be at peace...

- Everybody can carry things down the mountain. - Okay.

- Go quickly. - Yes.

Come with me.

Rong'er, everyone.

The Mongol attack is inopportune.

You came from afar yet I can't be a proper host. I'm sorry.

You ably prepared ahead.

This setback won't stymie you.

On your comeback, you'll prosper.

We must find Yang Guo. Farewell.

- Be safe. - Let's go.

Wait!

Disciple, aren't you Mongolian?

Teacher, my father opposed the Empress, and was unjustly slain.

I protect my sister; we're refugees.

I'm an ordinary citizen now.

Fine; or I'd cripple your kungfu.

Good; help Huang Rong.

- Yes, Teacher. - Who said "Teacher"?

Let's go.

So you're Old Urchin's disciple.

We know Guo'er's in the Tomb.

Yang Guo and Sister are inside? Great.

You can get Jade Maiden Manual.

You're very smart.

You never intended to help; you only want that Manual.

Madam Guo, since you guessed,

I'll help snatch your daughter; help me get that Manual.

As former Beggar Clan Chief, and a famed hero,

keep your word.

You're threatening us?

Sure, don't fall in her trap.

Guo'er is a Brother's son; he and I can sort out small issues.

He'll return Xiang'er; it isn't 'snatching'.

Then let's part ways.

Li Mochou!

Our revenge is due, right?

That's right, Li Mochou. Don't think of leaving.

If you want to kill me, go ahead.

Madam Guo, you solve puzzles.

Yang Guo is on this mountain.

Seems you don't need me.

Mom, the entrance is hidden, hard to find.

Yang and Miss Long are in the Tomb.

They must come out for supplies.

Wait patiently; we'll meet them.

"Watch a stump, catch a rabbit." (watch uselessly)

Why waste time talking?

Kill her first.

Right!

What we do depends on you.

I need to find Yang Guo. Come with me.

The Tomb entrance is sealed.

Enter by this underground waterway.

Whoever swims well, follow me.

I grew up on the Isle; swimming's easy.

Yes, we two will go.

I swim poorly, but I can hold my breath.

Okay. And Madam Guo?

Madam Guo recently gave birth; she can't go.

Yan and Sister Wanyan can't swim; stay with Madam Guo.

But...

I want to meet Brother Yang; Miss Guo and I will go.

Can you swim?

Yes, my brother lived near a river; he swam even in winter.

All sorted out? I'm setting off.

Yelu, Li Mochou is brutal.

She may backstab; be vigilant.

Don't worry. Let's go.

Let's go.

- Be careful. - I got it, Dad.
