EPISODE 42

It's just a lowly hunter.

What's so urgent? Speak.

Brother He.

Quanzhen and Beggar Clan

were the largest obstacles to Mongol conquest.

Quanzhen is destroyed;

Beggar Clan remains.

If you help wipe out Beggar Clan,

I swear you'll be richly rewarded.

You hurried me here just for this?

I hope you get rid of Chief Lu.

I don't have the nerve.

Brother He.

What do you mean by that?

I know my abilities.

With my low kungfu, it's hard to get near Chief Lu.

And things have changed.

Huo Dou, I do know

you and your Teacher parted badly at Mount Zhongnan.

It will be hard to meet Kubhilai.

What you promised me will be hard to fulfil.

Brother He.

I pledged loyalty to Fourth Prince. What can Jinlun do?

If I earn great merit,

Fourth Prince will favour me.

If you get rid of Beggar Clan,

I can make you South Province Chief General.

"A beggar is too lazy to be an official."

We get on well; let's take our time with this.

I'm hungry; I'll hunt wild fowl.

That disobedient dog

isn't worth keeping.

I guarantee Huo Dou will kill that Beggar Clan traitor.

That's good; we needn't take action.

Guo'er, I want to spend our time happily.

It's best they kill each other.

I know.

Young sir, please open the door.

Long'er, your wish didn't come true.

Huo Dou is back.

It's not his voice.

It's the other guy.

Hide for a bit.

May I ask, young sir,

where my friend went?

Your friend?

Yes.

Seems he's looking for you.

Looking for me?

Isn't he back?

Guo'er.

You didn't expect a lowly hunter to know about acupoints.

Guo'er.

These people should be killed.

Long'er, want to build a snowman?

Okay!

Alright.

Long'er, this snowman looks good.

He is fat and round.

A pair is more fun.

A pair?

I have a plan. When Huo Dou returns, he'll be his partner.

Okay?

Long'er, it's cold; let's go inside.

Young gentleman.

Where'd my friend go?

I don't know; he didn't come back.

Didn't come back?

No.

Where'd he go?

- Would he have gone to... - Amituofo.

Go and see.

We needy monks are stuck in the snow.

Coming.

Amituofo.

I have disturbed you.

I have disturbed you.

We are poor people.

We've no beds for you.

Would you like some venison?

That's wrong for us; we brought our own food.

That's good. I have a wife and kid; I'm going to my room.

I have disturbed you.

Teacher, no need to be polite.

These two monks look to be powerful masters.

There so many bad guys.

They won't leave us in peace.

You're right.

See that white robed monk.

He looks kind and composed

but that monk in black

looks murderously evil.

Ci'en. Are you acting up again?

Teacher.

On the way, I didn't feel well.

I'm afraid it will happen again.

Namo Amituofo (Buddha's name).

Namo Amituofo.

Namo Amituofo.

Namo Amituofo.

What disease has he?

It's very strange.

The monk in white is doing nothing.

Namo Amituofo.

Namo Amituofo.

Amituofo.

What should not be done will be done;

what should be done will be rejected;

repent from burning anger and hatred;

from now on, start anew.

He who repents his crime will be peaceful;

he who repents misdeeds will not do evil.

Teacher.

My mind and heart is full of hatred; I can't control myself.

I did all sorts of evil; I couldn't control myself.

Teacher, what do I do?

To repent past sins is difficult; we aren't saints.

Uncle Guo named me Yang Guo Gaizhi, meaning 'correct one's fault'.

Did God send this monk to change me?

Since becoming your disciple 10 years ago, I have harmed no person.

Today my blood's boiling.

I'm begging, Teacher,

just cut off my hands.

Shanzai.

You must eliminate all evil thoughts in your heart.

I could remove your hands, but how would that help?

Thank you, Teacher, but I've never got rid of evil thoughts.

Ci'en.

Your heart is full of hatred; lacking love.

Although you know what's right and wrong, your hatred remains.

When you don't know how to love, evil thoughts remain.

Teacher.

I'm in pain and can't take it.

Amituofo.

I can't stand the pain.

I want to kill someone.

Isn't this Brother He?

Reverend is right; murder is wrong.

But if you don't act, it's frustrating, right?

Yes. I can't take it.

If you can't vent,

you feel your heart will burst, right?

But I can't kill anyone.

I can't kill anyone!

I have a good solution.

Vent your feelings on this snowman.

Don't worry; he's just a snowman.

One hit releases your feelings.

It won't be a sin.

Use your palms, strike. Hit the snowman!

Hitting a snowman or person is the same.

Don't worry; he's just a snow man. He has no life.

I want to hit him!

Why's there a man in the snowman?

That's right.

This man was strangely hiding in the snowman.

Amituofo. Such a pity.

Ci'en.

You didn't kill him; yet you killed him.

Teacher. I don't understand.

You thought it was a snowman; you didn't intend to harm a person.

Don't say you had no murderous intention?

I had murderous intention.

That's right.

He didn't know that man was hiding in the snowman.

It's you!

You wanted me to kill him! Give me your life!

Solitary Yang Finger

Lay down your sword, become a Buddha.

I committed a crime.

I didn't want to kill anyone.

I won't be a monk anymore.

Let me recite a sutra for you.

I won't hear any more sutras!

I won't listen to more nonsense.

Do not keep erring.

Keep erring?

Okay then.

I'll kill everyone in that house.

Ci'en.

If only killing will bring you peace,

just kill me first.

Okay, give me your life.

Aren't you fighting back?

Why will I fight back?

What good is it if I or you win?

You must overcome and control yourself.

Overcome and control myself?

Give me your life.

Who are you?

You can even take my Iron Palm?

Reverend gave you great advice.

Bad enough you won't listen;

you'd even kill him?

You're less than an animal?

Did you plot with those two?

You killed a Wulin scum; you actually did a good deed.

I did a good deed?

I did a good deed?!

That guy was a traitor to Beggar Clan and our Song homeland.

If he didn't die, I wonder how many innocent people would've died.

Lord Buddha is merciful, but how could benevolence expel such demons?

Little animal, you jabber rot.

Let me teach you a lesson.

Either learn or fall to my sword.

I'll use all my force now.

You'll hear your bones breaking.

Afraid now? Still want to die?!

Die?

Do you know what pain is now?

Do you know your victims' pain?!

Do you know the pain of your victims' families?!

Teacher.

I know I'm wrong now.

Killing brings misery; being killed like this is miserable.

Amituofo.

Reverend, how's your injury?

Don't worry; it's not too severe.

You seem to be poisoned.

Indeed I got poisoned

by Passion Flower poison.

Passion Flower poison?

You must be Yang Guo.

Reverend.

How do you know my name?

My disciples Tianzhu and Zhu Ziliu went to Passionless Valley for your antidote.

Then, Reverend, you are...

I pay respects to Reverend Yideng.

Don't be so formal.

Who'd imagine meeting you on a wild mountain?

Amituofo.

We were on our way to help you.

If this is about my antidote,

don't waste time on me.

You needn't worry.

My disciple Ci'en is the big brother of Passionless Valley mistress.

Teacher.

My sister is strange.

About this, I'm afraid...no way.

It's unnecessary to help me.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Long'er, come out.

This is my wife, Long'er.

This is Reverend Yideng.

This is Reverend Ci'en.

Reverend Yideng, Reverend Ci'en.

Madam Yang, don't be formal.

Your face shows poisoning.

What's going on?

We were circulating her energy to heal her internal injuries,

and she was poisoned by Soul Freezing Needles.

Okay.

Let me check her injury.

Reverend, how is it?

Guo'er.

Don't worry too much.

Madam's condition is severe.

If I wasn't injured, I'd halt the poison with my neigong,

along with herbal medicine.

Your energy foundation is strong. My medicine can save you for 7 days.

Let's all find Tianzhu.

He's a poison specialist; he can save you.

My disciple will look for a cure.

Some children die soon after birth.

Madam was lucky to marry.

The snowflakes are so beautiful.

In the sun, they vanish.

Next winter, snowflakes will fall.

Madam Yang understands. Which comes first, chicken or egg?

The egg hatches a chicken; it lays an egg. Life has death.

Eat this now.

Thank you, Reverend.

Long'er, you're injured; walk slowly.

You haven't recovered.

Guo'er. That pill restored my strength; I want to fly.

Long'er, your injury hasn't healed.

Be careful.

Miss Long, you have good skills.

Your skills are greater.

My skills were once incomparable.

Now I'm old, I can't run.

You were fast then.

- Let's compete. - Okay.

Your profound inner energy is rare; who was your Teacher?

My wife taught me kungfu.

But...

her energy can't match yours.

Somehow my inner energy keeps increasing.

Did you take medicine? Gingseng or Millenium Mushroom?

I ate dozens of snake gallbladders.

Snake gallbladders don't affect inner strength.

Those snakes were strange.

They were poisonous, with glittering gold scales, and crested heads.

They're pu-si-qu snakes, living underground, swift as wind, difficult to catch.

This is so strange.

Xiao Long Nu!

This monk's qinggong is advanced.

Xiao Long Nu.

- Are you competing in qinggong? - Sure.

He's incredible; I can't beat him.

I'm here; don't worry.

Hop on this trunk.

That's Quanzhen's Sacred Scripture trunk.

Don't worry; it will be useful.

Don't worry; we'll win.

Xiao Long Nu, it's your turn.

Okay.

My Iron Palm was beated by a boy; my qinggong was beaten by a girl.

I can't even beat those kids.

Thanks, old man.

Haven't seen Qui Qianren in ages; how come he's a monk?

He took Reverend Yideng as his Teacher.

King Duan is here?!

Who's King Duan?

Don't mention me to him.

That gent is so strange.

Ci'en.

Reverend Yideng.

Ci'en. Desires blinded you.

I...

In your lust to win, you didn't know a third person was behind you?

This is strange.

Yang, what's wrong?

Security is usually tight.

No-one is here; what's going on?

Danger is ahead. Cien, announce us.

Yes.

Who has come?

You dare trespass...?

It's me, Yang Guo.

Hero Yang. Did you complete Mistress' task?

Escort us in; we'll tell her.

Who are these monks?

Did four women accompany you?

Four women?

Two groups of two barged into the Valley against our orders.

They met in the Passion Flower Field, but began fighting.

We sealed all exits.

They can't escape.

Is it Madam Guo's party?

If it's Aunt Guo, Guo Fu, Wanyan and Yelu Yan, why'd they fight?

Lead us in; if I know them, maybe I can break up the fight.

Okay.

The four women are detained by our Valley power.

Let's go.

It's my sect Sister.

It's the cousins.

If flowers poison them, there's no cure.

How can we help them?

Miss Cheng, Miss Lu.

It's Yang Guo.

The Flowers are deadly poison.

Dumb Egg!

Yang Guo.

Come in to help them.

Don't just shout advice.

Sister, Passion Flowers are deadly; come out.

We either fight or die.

We can't move back.

Teacher, let Sister go.

Step on their bodies to get out.

Guo'er.

Guo'er.

Brother Yang.

Dumb Egg, why'd you save me?

I'm already poisoned; what's a bit more?

Guo'er.

Aunt Guo.

Guo'er.

Teacher.

There are so many of them. What do we do?

What do we do?

I must sacrifice you.

Sister!

Li Mochou, you're a monster!

If Yang Guo hadn't saved you,

you'd have died like her.

- You...! - Taoist Li.

I have words for you.

What?

To leave the Flower Field,

you didn't need to kill her.

Are you lecturing me?

No way. You could've dug soil into two balls with your swords

and wrapped it in your outer gowns, to make 'stepping stones'.

Good idea, but it's too late.

Way too late.

Your poisoning by flowers makes no difference.

You're poisoned by unbridled passions.

It was already too late.

I gave my disciple life.

If I hadn't raised her, she'd have died.

I gave her life; I gave her death. That's fair.

Li Mochou, you!

Parents give life to children, but have no right to kill them.

Li Mochou!

Today you pay for your crimes!

Li Mochou!

You cruelly slaughtered my family.

Worse, you killed Sister Hong.

- Your death won't cover it! - You've such a good Teacher.

Even a 'famous family' evildoer should die.

Don't you copy Li Mochou.

Sister, they'll kill me.

Did you forget our sect ties?

Sister.

You killed your disciple; what ties?

Okay.

You'll all kill me.

Come, the more the merrier.

I'm poisoned by Passion Flowers.

If you don't fear poisoning, come in.

None of you dares?

In that case, I'm leaving.

- Let's pursue her. - Amituofo.

She's poisoned fatally; let her go.

Teacher, you came with Brother Ci'en.

Great! We can get the antidote.

Oh yes, sons, greet Reverend.

Respects to Reverend.

Reverend Yideng, long time no see.

Fu'er.

Come and greet him.

My respects to you.

Okay.

Greetings, Sister.

Junior Sister.

Thanks for your previous help. Fu'er, greet Sister.

Greetings, Sister.

Cousin.

So she's your sect Sister; then she's your Junior.

She's my cousin, Lu Wushuang.

Madam Guo, hello.

Long'er.

It's time to hand Xiang to Aunt Guo.

Madam Guo, here's Xiang.

Xiang'er.

Miss Long, Guo'er. Thanks for caring for Xiang'er.

You saw, right? I didn't trade her.

Mom's here; you won't dare.

You meant to, or why take sis?

Fu'er.

Hey, Cousin.

She's Madam Guo's baby?

Really cute.

I hope she won't grow up vicious.

My Sis is no business of yours. What are you suggesting?

I didn't speak to you.

And I rightfully deal with vicious evildoers.

You cripple.

Fu'er.

- You...! - Don't be rude.

Brother Yang, so we meet again.

My sister and Miss Wanyan are here.

- Brother Yang. - Brother Yang.

Brother Yang. Your arm...?

Dumb Egg, your arm? Why's it gone?

He's not silly; why call him Dumb Egg?

Sorry. It's a habit hard to change.

May I ask who you are?

- She's who I told you about... - She'd be Miss Xiao Long Nu.

Sure. I thought so.

You're like a beautiful angel.

Dumb Egg. Sorry... Brother Yang.

How'd you lose your arm?

It's healed; someone cut it off.

Someone cut it off?!

Which despicable villain deserves to die?!

Which demon was it?

Isn't defaming me despicable?

I didn't talk about you; it's the villain who cut off his arm.

His arm was cut off by me.

I apologised; my parents chastised me.

Now you scold me?

So it was you!

Fu'er.

Valley Mistress wants you.

Please come with us.

Miss Gongsun.

Brother Yang!

You accomplished your task.

It's a long story; take me to your mother.

My limbs are disabled; I can't rise to welcome you.

My greetings to you.

I didn't expect you'd be alive.

I took an antidote to neutralise the Flower poison.

What a joke.

If another Flower antidote exists,

why'd that Tianzhu and Zhu come here for the antidote?

Seniors Tianzhu and Zhu are locked up; I'm here now.

Please let them go.

That's not so easy.

If I let them go, they might bother me.

Okay, discuss it later.

Elder Qiu. I brought a friend

you'll be glad to meet.

Valley Mistress.

Huang Rong?

You...

You killed my brother.

Elder Qiu.

I brought someone else you know.

Guo Jing's here? Excellent!

Second Brother.

Second Brother.

- Third Sister. - Second Brother.

- Second Brother. - It's me, Third Sister.

How'd this happen to you?

I was harmed by Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi? My brother-in-law?

Don't call him that; he cruelly harmed me.

Preposterous.

Where's that dog? I'll chop him up!

I blinded his eye and exiled him.

Though he harmed me, I luckily survived.

But...but big brother was killed.

Yes.

That Huang Rong is here.

Why aren't you avenging big brother?

Yes, I should avenge brother.

I should avenge my brother!

Yes! Huang Rong's in front of you.

Kill her now; go after Guo Jing.

I'll avenge my brother!

Ci'en.

A monk can't consider murder; your brother's death

was caused by himself.

Teacher, you're right.

Third Sister.

I can't avenge him.

Bullshit! Our Qiu family is heroic.

If you don't avenge brother, how are you a true hero?

Am I a true hero?

Am I a true hero?

You were famous as "Iron Palms Floating on Water".

You turned into a coward.

Qiu Qianren, if you don't take revenge,

don't call me your sister.

Am I a true hero?

Am I am a true hero?

Am I am a true hero?!

My mom won't stoop to your level. Who's afraid of you?

If you persist, I'll be impolite.

We're guests; you're so rude. How are you a hero?

You're Huang Rong's daughter.

Fu'er.

- Are you okay? - Am I am a true hero?

If you want to fight, do it honestly.

Today you got poisoned again.

It will strike by 3 days.

My half-Pill is your life or death; you dare oppose me?

Life and death? I stopped caring.

Mom.

Brother Yang has no feud with us, and he saved us.

Have mercy; let him off.

Yes. I'm alive because of you.

But you willingly saved me.

I didn't ask you to.

And you promised

to bring the Guo couple's heads.

But you reneged and helped my enemy,

so you're also my enemy.

Mom.

Uncle's death isn't related to him.

Please give him the half-Pill.

Get lost.

That Pill is for my future son-in-law, not outsiders.

Unless...

No need.

Elder Qiu.

Long'er and I are married.

Even if I'm doomed to die, I'm a good husband.

Let's leave.

Let them squabble.

I'll go save Tianzhu and Zhu.

Fine, you want to die; not my concern.

Long'er, let's go.

Yang Guo.

Yang Guo.

You heartless scoundrel, I must've been blind.

She's acting out of character.

Is it because Long'er and I are married...?

Miss Gongsun, I...

You sly thief, it's easy to get in, hard to get out.
