EPISODE 43

It's strange.

Yang, what's wrong?

Security is tight; why's no-one here?

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 in against our orders.

They met in the 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 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?

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 toxic.

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 Flower poison makes no difference.

You're poisoned by unbridled passions.

It was 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 slaughtered my entire family.

Worse, you killed Sister Hong.

- Death! - You've such a good Teacher.

Even a 'famous family' evildoer should die.

Don't you copy Li Mochou.

Sister, they'll kill me.

You forgot 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 Sister.

Then she's your Junior.

She's my cousin, Lu Wushuang.

Madam Guo, hello.

Long'er, 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.

Cousin.

She's Madam Guo's baby?

So 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 my habit to call him that.

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 evildoer deserves to die?

Despicable! 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; come with us.

Miss Gongsun.

Brother Yang!

You completed 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 to 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.

Now I'm here, 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 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 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?

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 a true hero?!

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

If you persist, I'll be impolite.

You're rude to us guests. 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.

Yang Guo, your poison from today will strike by 3 days.

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

Life or 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 I married Long'er...?

Miss Gongsun, I...

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

You say Passionless Valley is hard to leave?

I'll split you in half

and rip out your heart.

Let me leave quickly, and I won't hurt you.

Mom.

He's a bully.

Lu'E, why be like this? Yang Guo won't live long.

Let's avenge your uncle today.

Guo'er, where are we going?

Won't we help them?

Aunt Guo and Reverend Yideng will handle it fine.

Long'er.

Open it.

Open it?

Miss Gongsun is considerate.

She said she'd split you and rip out your heart;

she meant this.

"I'll try to steal the Pill for you".

"Tianzhu and Zhu are in the Pill Room".

Didn't Gongsun Zhi chain you there?

Yes, let's quickly rescue Seniors Tianzhu and Zhu.

A friend has come from afar.

Brother Yang, long time no see.

Senior Zhu has kept calm.

How is Reverend Tianzhu?

He is fine.

Passion Flowers are extinct in India.

It's disastrous if they spread.

Passionless Pill helps one person; he wants to help many.

So he tested the poison on himself to understand its nature

to find the antidote.

Reverend is trying to save people.

When will Reverend Tianzhu wake?

If he calculated right, he'd be conscious in three days.

It's been two days.

But you were locked up; where'd you get Flowers?

Valley Mistress's daughter, Miss Gongsun, got them.

She must've told you we're here.

Yes. Reverends Yideng and Ci'en are here.

Really? That's great; they'll help if there's trouble.

Let's think of a safe place to move Tianzhu.

Hold on. The most dangerous place is also the safest.

We'll wait here.

But here...

Brother Yang, don't worry.

I'll protect him while you help my Teacher.

Be extra careful.

Long'er, let's go.

Why didn't it work?

Passion Flower is so weird.

Taoist, don't waste energy purging Passion Flower.

Who are you?

I'm Gongsun Zhi of Passionless Valley.

Did you forget you met me?

It's you.

That's right.

I'll neutralise your poison.

You'll cure my poison?

Of course.

Am I a true hero?

Am I a true hero?!

A true hero?

This monk has gone crazy.

Let's find Dumb Egg.

Sister.

We'll find Brother Yang.

Let's go.

Am I a true hero?

Mom, what should we do?

Hold Xiang'er.

Am I a true hero?

Ci'en.

Distinguish between good and evil.

Am I a true hero?

Second Brother, ignore that monk's crap.

Big brother died miserably; you must avenge him.

You're not a man if you don't.

Huang Rong. You caused my brother's death.

I want your life!

Rotten monk.

If you're rude to my mom, I'll be impolite.

Fu'er.

Child, who are you?

Hero Guo Jing is my dad.

Mom was Beggar Clan Chief.

Rotten monk, take revenge now

or else stop talking rot.

Fu'er, shut up.

Okay, I'll extract revenge!

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er!

That's Guo Jing and Huang Rong's daughter!

I'll kill her first.

Huang Rong is next.

Then I'll kill Guo Jing.

Yang Guo, save my sister now.

Yang Guo?

Who's Yang Guo?

Even if the Five Greats all arrived at once,

they couldn't save this baby.

You seek revenge on someone;

someone will seek revenge on you.

What good comes of it?

Come if you dare!

Guo'er.

These toxic Passion Flowers are beautiful.

This thing called passion can be beautiful or ugly.

Like Li Mochou, these lovely flowers have thorns that kill.

I hope Tianzhu wakes soon

to save you and my Sister.

I don't want anyone hurt again.

I hope Tianzhu neutralises your poison first.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

You already killed this child. Did you forget?!

Who are you?

Who am I?

Don't tell me you forgot me?

That evening...

in the Dali Imperial Palace,

you held a baby like this.

You injured him badly.

I'm his mother!

Take action.

Why aren't you taking action?

Strike him dead!

Dead...he's dead.

Such a good child was killed by me.

Revenge breeds revenge; when will it stop?

I caused this child's death.

Take it.

You did very well.

This child was killed by you.

Thanks, Teacher, for saving me.

Congratulations on finding the right path.

Second Brother.

Second Brother, come back now.

You call me to come back?

I call you to come back too.

Second Brother, come back.

Shanzai, shanzai.

Reverend Yideng, I had no other way but to mention past events. Forgive me.

Amituofo.

Rong'er.

Your clever trick helped to redeem Ci'en.

Good!

Mom. So you pretended to be crazy to trick that monk.

- You scared me to death. - Silly wretch.

Madam Guo, here's your child.

Many thanks.

Xiang'er.

- The nets are deadly! - Damn.

Miss Gongsun is a kind person

but it's a pity her mother hoards the antidote.

An antidote doesn't matter.

If you're fine, I'm content.

Guo'er.

Guo'er.

- It's Passion Flower poison? - Yes.

Guo'er.

Your Passion Flower poison attacks are more severe.

Tianzhu hasn't woken.

You can't endure this.

Why don't we beg Senior Qiu?

It's useless.

Even if we held her at swordpoint, she won't be willing.

There's another solution.

Don't talk about that.

I know what you're thinking of.

Long'er.

We're a married couple.

We sincerely love each other; if we can't grow old together, it's fate.

No third person may come between us, okay?

But Miss Gongsun likes you

and a second wife is common.

But your heart and my heart are one together.

How can another intervene?

But you're like this...

Let me ask you.

If some man would swap a cure for your body, would you?

I'm a woman; that's unthinkable.

It's unthinkable for you; it's the other way round for me.

Don't discuss it, okay?

Guo'er.

Cousin, see.

- They're over there. - Who is it?

It's us.

Brother Yang, Miss Long.

Cousin.

Still calling her Miss Long?

Call her Sister-in-law Yang.

Right, Dumb Egg?

I can't compare with Miss Long.

Misses Cheng and Lu have beauty, kungfu,

and friendship with him.

I can never match them.

For him to consider me is a vain hope.

Broken Heart Cliff

You were beaten, I lost my eye,

all because of Yang Guo.

We share a common enemy.

We have met as if by fate.

I'm injured by Passion Flowers.

You make light of it, and mock me with nonsense.

How'd I make light of it?

You're in pain, so's my heart.

I'm the original Valley master.

Only I can make the antidote, but that takes time.

You don't have time to wait; I need to kill my wife.

My wife has the only Pill; I can get it for you.

Then you're making empty promises.

Your wife has the antidote.

She regards you as her enemy.

Killing her is easy, but how can we get the Pill?

That's why I'm helping you.

Taoist Li. Even if I die, I'll have no regrets.

You flatter me.

I can get you the antidote, but promise something.

I roam Jianghu; no-one can compel me.

Give me the antidote or forget it.

I never beg.

You misunderstood me.

I hope you help; I'm not forcing you.

If I spoke inappropriately, please don't be offended.

To get the Pill, I must trick my daughter.

Your daughter has the Pill?

No.

I'll tell you the truth.

My stubborn, violent wife will have concealed the Pill.

We need trickery, not force.

That heartless, vicious wretch only cares for her daughter.

I'll lure Lu'E into the Flowers.

That witch must get the Pill to save Lu'E; we can snatch it.

It's a pity there's only one Pill.

I can't even let my daughter live.

We needn't use real Passion Flowers.

We just need to make her seem poisoned.

Then we get the Pill and protect your child.

No.

That shrew wife will notice the difference.

To save my life,

you must sacrifice your daughter.

How can I agree?

If you can't bear to do it,

let's drop this matter.

No, no. I hate to part with her,

but it's worse to lose you.

I'll call Lu'E out after midnight; she won't guess my plan.

Let's find a safe place to wait in hiding.

Father plotted to kill me for a woman he just met.

Anyway, I don't want to live; his scheme can save Brother Yang.

Mom.

Mom.

Lu'E.

Mom, I was poisoned by Passion Flowers.

How did this happen?

It's Father.

He pushed me into Passion Flowers.

Why'd that evil Gongsun Zhi push you into the Flowers?

Father...

Father and Li Mochou

were speaking secretively and he spotted me,

so he pushed me in.

Gongsun Zhi, that mongrel.

I injured one of his eyes.

I'll deal with that old thief.

Mom!

You must save me.

Okay, don't fear; I have a half-Pill.

Luckily we didn't give it to that rotten Yang Guo.

Daughter.

You can take the half-Pill, but the poison won't all be gone.

But if you're good and stay with me,

and don't think of worthless men,

you will be safe.

Yang Guo, that rotten rascal.

Let's not bother with him again.

And where's that dog, Gongsun Zhi, now?

I don't know.

Gongsun Zhi and Li Mochou ganged up.

Now he'll reclaim the Valley.

But...

my limbs are like this!

Mom, don't be like this.

If Brother Yang was here now,

that'd be great.

Daughter, don't be afraid.

Let's retrieve the Pill.

Why are we here?

The most dangerous place is the safest.

Hide here now.

Once I arrange things, I'll look for you.

Fine, I'll wait for your good news.

If I didn't need your help,

I'd already have sent you to hell.

You are awake.

How long has it been?

Senior.

You woke a day early.

Then this Passion Flower isn't as lethal as I thought; I can neutralise it.

Really? That's great.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Let's go out.

Brother, wait here for me.

I'll look for antidote herbs.

Okay, Senior.

Senior!

Who are you?

Why'd you attack my Senior?

Madam Guo, how can we break out?

It's hard to defeat the nets and get the antidote.

But there are ways.

It's just that...

What do you mean?

We need to take risks.

- Why's this hag back? - Fu'er, be polite.

All except Huang Rong and her two daughters may leave.

Men, lower the nets.

Yes.

Mistress Qiu.

A misfortune looms over you; yet you don't flee.

Why'd I be afraid?

Mistress Qiu. Your elder brother slipped and fell into the valley.

But if you still bear a grudge, I won't try to avoid death.

But you must hand over the antidote for Yang Guo even if I die.

If I die, my friends here will bear no grudge against you.

Do you accept?

As Beggar Clan Chief, keep your word.

For my three date stone strikes, you must not dodge or use a weapon.

Mom never said she won't use a weapon.

If you want to vent hatred, I won't use any weapons.

Your date stone skill is deadly; three strikes is dangerous to my life.

My enemy will take three strikes. What's your scheme? What ill intent?

Your enemy will attack soon; we're both in a tight spot.

Let's bury the hatchet; everyone can fight together.

Besides, I'm indebted to Yang Guo; I must get him the antidote.

One who can't repay kindness is a beast.

Your pretty words don't move me.

Stand for my three date stones!

Okay.

Fu'er, hold your sister.

Mom.

Everyone, back away.

Mistress Qiu.

Whether I live or die, you must give Yang Guo the Pill.

Bring it on.

- Teacher. - Mom.

Are you okay?

Mistress Qiu.

I hope you keep your word to hand over the Pill.

You have guts. I'll hand it over.

Lu'E.

Yes.

Rong'er.

Come here; let me check your injury.

Okay.

Rong'er.

There are two hidden Pill bottles.

The pink bottle is real; the blue one is fake.

- Shanzai, shanzai... - Thank you, Reverend.

- Okay, I know. - Get it for her.

Yes, Mom.

Lu'E. You...

Miss Gongsun.

Father, return the antidote.

Dog! You dare snatch the Pill?!

Father!

You plotted with Li Mochou to harm me.

It's fine if you want me dead; but that Pill is for Brother Yang.

- I beg you to return it. - Shut up.

You two betrayed me; you're wicked.

I'll deal with you two later.

You dog! Plotting with Li Mochou!

Brother Yang, he has the Pill; take it from him now!

Everyone, capture him together!

Lu'E.

Rotten witch, it's not so easy to detain me.

Father, please give the Pill to Brother Yang.

Gongsun Zhi, let Miss Gongsun go;

I'll let you leave safely.

No, Brother Yang.

If he leaves, you won't get the Pill.

I don't need the antidote.

Miss Gongsun.

Lu'E!

Lu'E!

Lu'E, my Lu'E.

Brother, what happened?

She killed Senior.

Li Mochou, meet Senior in hell!

- Did you get it? - Yes.

You caused our daughter's death. Men, attack!
