~ Life is but a good dream ~

EPISODE 45

My Teacher said an Old Lady Meng meets the dead.

If you drink her soup, you forget mortal things.

But I'll refuse her soup.

Why?

I want to remember you forever.

If you don't drink it, I won't.

I want to remember you forever.

The afterlife is unknown. I'd prefer not to die.

Being able to be in love with you, I didn't live in vain.

Even if we die, it's without regret.

Guo'er, let's walk.

Okay.

In the cold winter wind, flowers still bloom.

See how pretty the flower is; let's give it a name.

What should we name it?

I would call it Dragon Girl Flower.

Guo'er.

Remember paying respects to me as your Teacher?

I remember.

I said I will listen to you and always obey what you say.

Now I'm your wife, must I obey you?

Teacher must be obeyed; wife can't be disobeyed.

I want you to forever remember your words.

Even if I drink Old Lady Meng's soup,

I will still remember.

Long'er.

Long'er!

- Fu'er, check for food to take. - Okay.

We'll all help.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Brother Yang Guo. - Move aside.

Guo'er.

What did you say to Long'er?

Dumb Egg, what is it?

You told her to leave me?

No. I didn't.

After she talked to you, she wasn't quite herself.

She left with no word; what did you say?

You misunderstood.

I only asked her to persuade you to take an antidote grass.

Long'er and I are beyond cure.

Why are you such a busybody?

Yang, don't be rash.

Perhaps Miss Long has tasks.

Impossible.

She promised she'd never abandon me; she won't just go.

It can't be...

- Guo'er. - Brother Yang.

Mom.

Why are you fierce to Mom? It's nothing to do with her.

Maybe Miss Long doesn't want to die in front of you.

Fu'er, enough. Shut up.

Amituofo. Passion Flower poison is taking effect.

Don't be rash; stay calm. Keep focused.

Where did Miss Long go?

Broken Heart Cliff...she'd be at the Cliff.

- Brother Yang! - Guo'er!

Dumb Egg!

Long'er!

Long'er!

Long'er!

Guo'er!

Guo'er!

Dumb Egg, there's a red flower.

Brother Yang. There are words on the rock.

16 years from now, meet here.

Husband and wife love is deep.

Xiao Long Nu to husband Lang: do not break your promise.

Why'd Long'er leave these words?

She can't live beyond 8 or 10 days.

How can she even live 16 years?

How can I stay alive 16 years to meet her again?

- Guo'er! - Brother Yang! Stop!

- Brother Yang! - Dumb Egg!

What if Brother Yang goes mad and jumps off the cliff.

Cousin, he may listen to you.

I'll try.

Don't come over!

Brother Yang, I only want to help find her.

Believe me.

Sister, be careful.

Brother Yang.

Madam Guo is clever; won't it be better to ask her?

Why?

Why's she making me wait 16 years?

Let's go back, okay?

Guo'er. I have good news.

Come over and I'll tell you.

Let's go over.

- Miss Long met South Sea Divine Nun. - Who's she?

She's a Buddhist Nun with high kungfu.

She seldom visits the mainland; not many know of her.

My dad met her once and she taught him a Fist.

That was 16...32 years ago.

- 32 years ago? - Yes.

She's 100 years old.

She visits the mainland every 16 years

and helps anyone in need.

I'm sure she took Miss Long away as her disciple.

Reverend Yideng, is this true?

Divine Nun is eccentric. Reverend, have you met her?

I haven't met her.

She separated you for 16 years in order to cure Miss Long.

Miss Long's injury was severe.

She needs a long recovery.

No. Long'er's injury is fatal. Stop lying.

Fu'er caused this trouble. Why'd I lie?

A cure in a short period is impossible; maybe Divine Nun will succeed before 16 years.

How do you know the Nun came? Is it on the rock?

I guessed from the "16 years".

Divine Nun dislikes being mentioned; Miss Long didn't do so.

But if you can't be saved and Miss Long can't meet you,

I fear she won't want to live.

Where's Divine Nun live?

I'm going to find her.

Don't even think of it.

Outsiders can't go to Great Wisdom Island, especially men. My dad never went.

Now Divine Nun took Miss Long, I'm sure you'll reunite.

How do I know it's true?

If that's not Miss Long's writing, say what you want.

It's her writing.

- She writes 'Yang' with an extra stroke. - Very good.

I thought maybe Brother Zhu wrote it to comfort you.

Okay, I'll try this grass.

If it fails, I hope in 16 years Aunt Guo tells my poor wife.

Reverend, how do I use it?

Passion Flower poison attacks organs related to emotions.

This grass may attack your heart.

Thank you, Reverend.

I sealed the major acupoint pathways to the heart.

Brother Yang.

How are you?

Brother Tianzhu, even after dying, you saved your fellow man.

Reverend Yideng. You saved my life.

Thank you very much.

Dumb Egg, is all your poison cured?

How'd it be that fast?

Since this grass works, I'll take it daily

until all poison is gone.

But if you keep taking it not knowing you're cured, won't the grass poison you?

If there's still poison, when I think of Long'er, my chest hurts.

Right, I forgot about that.

Brother Yang will miss Miss Long, not you.

Fu'er, don't say that.

Miss Long will return in 16 years;

don't have any fantasies.

Fu'er.

Miss Guo Fu, you shouldn't say that.

Brother Yang and Miss Long will separate for 16 years.

Think how badly you hurt Brother Yang.

You!

Fu'er, don't be rude; or go to the Isle, not Xiangyang.

It was accidental harm to my wife.

Please don't bring this up again.

Hero Yang, you had no bad side effects from the antidote grass.

Take it again in seven days.

Don't take it continually; reduce the dose each time.

Your advice is priceless, Reverend.

We left Xiangyang ages ago.

I've had no war news.

I want to go back today.

Guo'er, come to Xiangyang.

Uncle Guo worries about you.

I want to wait for Long'er.

You'll wait here 16 years?

I have nowhere else to go.

I might as well wait here.

It's fine to wait 10 to 14 days.

But if Miss Long doesn't return, you should come to Xiangyang.

Lu Wushuang, will you stay here with Brother Yang?

Is that your business?

Brother Yang is recovering; Cousin and I will stay.

With you two taking care of him, I won't worry.

Once Guo'er is cured,

I hope you three visit my husband and me at Xiangyang.

- Brother Yang. - Dumb Egg.

Brother Yang, did you take the grass today?

I needn't take the grass anymore.

So your poison is all neutralised?

That's great.

Time flies; it's already a month.

Yes, a month has passed.

Why's there no sign of Long'er?

Even if she was taken away, she could send me a letter.

She knows I'll be very worried.

Sister-in-law is in the South Sea.

Letters would be difficult to send from so far.

Isn't that so?

Brother Yang, what will you do?

Will you wait for Sister-in-law?

What if we travel Jianghu together?

We can do heroic deeds and look for Sister-in-law; 16 years will go fast.

Travel Jianghu together? Frankly, I have a wish.

I wonder if you'll fulfil it.

Ever since I met you, I felt we got on well.

I was an orphan living alone.

Today, let's become Brother and Sisters.

Sworn Siblings?

He will never give up his love for Miss Long.

While he waits 16 years, he wants to be comfortable with us.

With a Brother like you,

I can ask for nothing more.

I never dreamed you'd be my sworn Brother; I'm proud and honoured.

I, Yang Guo...

I, Cheng Ying...

I, Lu Wushuang...

swear to be siblings today.

My respects to Big Brother.

Sister Lu. Your and my Teachers were martial sisters.

That makes us the same sect.

Ancient Tomb's highest kungfu is Jade Maiden Manual.

Li Mochou's lifelong desire was to snatch that Manual.

I will teach you some Ancient Tomb kungfu.

Thank you, Brother.

Next time I meet Guo Fu, I won't fear offending her.

Cousin!

- Cousin! - What's wrong?

Brother has gone.

What?

He left this behind.

I am blessed to have two Sisters.

One was enough; I have two.

I can never repay my Sisters' kindness and compassion.

Second Sister has an excellent Master and will excel in kungfu.

Not so with Third Sister; I hope she can learn Jade Maiden Manual.

If she doesn't understand, please help her, Second Sister, and her kungfu will improve.

Sibling love shines like sun and moon. Take care.

Cousin.

[ Three Months Later ]

It smells so good.

The Wu boys ignore me.

If they know I made them nice snacks,

they'll feel guilty.

Let's go.

Big Wu, Small Wu.

Is anything the matter?

If not, we're going.

Why talk that way? How'd I offend you?

Sister, brother didn't mean that.

He's irritable from poor sleep.

That's right.

Chrysanthemum tea is good.

I made snacks; try this.

We're full and can't eat.

Another day?

You always say that.

Sister, actually...

Sister. You're rich; you needn't work.

But it's different for us; subordinates like us have tasks.

Find someone else to play with.

We're going.

Let's go.

Why are they in a hurry?

What's going on?

Let it go now, silly.

Loosen it, let it go.

Know how to let it go?

It'd be good if I am a kite.

I'd fly to Brother Yang's side.

It's flying so high.

Fly it higher.

Miss Wanyan, what's on your mind?

I'm wondering why Brother Yelu isn't here yet.

Come.

My brother likes peace and quiet.

I told him and he agreed.

I don't know why he's not here.

It's okay; Small Wu can keep you company.

You play; I'll just watch.

It's fine, I'll keep you company.

No need, Small Wu; go and play.

Miss Wanyan, look after Small Wu; he's nicer to you than Brother Yelu.

Love can't be forced.

Since my family can't compare to yours, don't seek me again.

Sister Yan.

My dear lady, I didn't mean that.

Enough, stop fighting.

Didn't we come to fly kites?

Small Wu, let's fly one.

Okay.

Look.

Can you fly it higher?

Well, well.

So you're busy with tasks?

Just watch out.

Look at how high it is.

Yes.

Fly it higher.

What's going on?

Go and look.

- They're torn. - They were fine before.

The culprit is here.

What are you doing?

- Sister. - Let me go.

Why are you here?

- You ignored me. Bad guys! - We...

They're flying kites.

You sabotaged it. Who's bad?

Yelu Qi, you're mean.

You're the mean one.

You!

Yelu Qi, just because you saved me, don't think I'll let this go!

- You.... - Why so secretive?

Change clothes for the wine house; you'll find out.

Do you want to marry into the Wu family?

Okay, take it as that.

Change your clothes; I'm going.

Caught! Miss Guo.

Why are you here?

Take this.

Come.

Are you unhappy about something

and want revenge?

Shouldn't you apologise to me?

You dirtied my clothes and want an apology?

That's a small matter; there are many days ahead.

Unreasonable.

Women are like this.

Apologise or you're in trouble.

I'll teach you a lesson.

Let me go.

This is a small matter.

Next time won't be so simple.

Help me!

Come, let's drink.

Sister Yan, why'd you call us here?

I want my brother to marry Wanyan.

What did you say?

Sister, stop fooling around.

Who's joking?

Brother.

Brother Yang and his GuGu flew away.

Only my Bro can talk to you; be my sister-in-law.

So is only he good enough!

You know who's the better man!

- Small Wu. - Yan.

Sister.

Brother, you're here.

Why are you looking for me?

Brother, what do you think of Sister Wanyan?

She's great.

So ask for her hand in marriage?

Sister Yan, stop fooling around.

Brother Yelu. Your kungfu is higher than mine.

You're stronger too

but let me ask you a question.

Can you treat Sister Wanyan well the rest of your life?

If you can, I won't compete with you.

I give you a toast.

Brother Wu, you misunderstood.

Prince Yelu.

Small Wu.

You already have us.

Nonsense! I don't know you at all.

You must love us forever.

Prince Yelu.

I'll see how Yelu Qi handles those women.

Over here.

How'd you go? Did you make a scene?

Let's go.

Why are you here, not at matchmaking?

Sorry.

Did I hear wrongly?

You're apologising?

Yes, I am.

I didn't think you're so annoying, and behave like a little girl.

You wanted an apology? I'm apologising.

Don't show up near me again.

Yelu Qi.

What? Want to cut off my arm too?

Sorry, I'm not Brother Yang.

I clearly won.

Why do I feel like crying?

Fu'er. You're still unhappy over Yelu Qi?

How did you know?

Silly wretch, you've been brooding for days.

I know when my daughter is unhappy.

Mom, he bullied me.

It's good if you don't bully others; who'd dare bully you?

Mom.

Enough. I know what happened.

You were too extreme.

You got what you deserved.

I know I was at fault

but I can't control myself.

I want to see him, argue with him and make him angry.

Mom. I'm not a bad person.

Brother Yang hates me.

The Wu boys hate me; now he hates me.

I might as well die.

Silly child, don't think this way.

I gave birth to you too young.

I wasn't ready to be a mother.

I let you get your own way.

But in these last few days, I notice you changed

because of Master Yelu.

You're laughing?

In the past, I bullied your dad.

I felt he wasn't good looking or smart.

But if he couldn't see me,

he'd get very anxious.

I thought I couldn't live with such a man.

But you'll find out for yourself.

Your heart knows what it wants.

Fu'er, you're not bad. You've fallen in love with him.

Happiness is in your reach.

It's hard for a woman to find such a day.

Do you know what you should do next?

Whatever choice you make, I'll support you.

Miss Guo, what do you want?

I like you.

You have so many tricks.

If you like tricking me to get my attention,

why don't you marry me?

Be careful playing with fire.

I... I'm being serious.

Miss Guo. I already apologised.

What are you trying to do?

I should ask you that.

What will you do? I really like you.

Okay. If you want to play with me, I'll play.

You want me to believe you like me.

Then kiss me here.

I apologise to you again.

I hope I won't see you again.

I, Guo Jing's daughter, Guo Fu, like Yelu Qi.

Great.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll wait for you at the river outside the city.

Sorry about the wine house incident.

Frankly...

I know. Yan told me Guo Fu created that scene.

Such a sly scheme.

But she can be cute.

You're really kind; you always think well of others.

Isn't that good?

Yes, of course.

That's why I think you're a good person.

Miss Wanyan, you're also a good person.

You're very obliging

but I...

You think I'm too bold?

I'm not a shy girl.

Miss Wanyan. I...

I once liked someone

but he doesn't like me.

I thought I wouldn't fall in love again.

But everyone tells me to look ahead.

So I'll start afresh with hope.

I made this belt; it's for you.

Miss Wanyan.

Sorry. Are you okay?

I'm grateful you told me this.

But I regard you as a sister.

I have an urgent matter. I'm going.

Why?

Why can't he accept me?

Why can't I forget that person?

Why?

Sorry. I didn't follow you on purpose.

I know Yang is in your heart.

You tried to find someone to forget him.

I hope I can accompany you.

If anyone hurts you, at least you still have me.

I'll go now.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Is it too late?

Mm (no).

I can't say I won't think of him.

I'll think of him with you.

I can't say I won't cry over him.

I'll comfort you.

I...

Anything will do for me as long as you're happy.

Where's Mom's embroidered hanky?

Guo...

Shouting is useless.

How'd that refined young lady wait in the rain for me?

I must be crazy.

You!

It's me. I waited for you.

Waited for me?

I waited in the rain for you but you didn't bother turning up.

Relax, I'll restrain myself; I won't bother you anymore.

You're just giving up?

That's against your character.

What else do you want me to do?

Trample my self-esteem.

Yelu Qi, I won't cut off your arm

because you have no right to have your arm cut off by me.

Goodbye.

I clearly waited.

You weren't there.

Come, place your bets.

I'm opening it.

Big!

It'll be big.

Big bet or small bet. Place your bets.

I won.

Miss Guo, you're gambling; what a disgrace.

What business is it of yours?

Who are you to me? Go away.

I...

Come.

What are you doing?

Unkempt clothes, openly gambling, what kind of woman are you?

Leave me alone.

You said you liked me.

I can't let you embarrass me.

I don't like you now. Scram.

You already confessed to me.

Are you sure?

We mightn't get along because...

Because of what?

It will be hard to be my wife. You need to practise swordsmanship with me every morning.

You were spoiled since you were young; you won't like it.

Underestimating me?

Okay.

Let's meet at the summit tomorrow morning.

If you're punctual, I'll consider it.

It's fine if you don't consider it.

I'm happy gambling here.

A Yelu wife isn't allowed to gamble.

Wife understands!

I'll sleep here tonight.

See what else you say.

Am I dreaming?

Of course. I'm a sweet dream.

You don't understand me.

I'm rational by nature.

So what?

You made me crazy.

I find that strange.

Perhaps one person is our destiny.

Sometimes, whatever we do, there's no escape.

So you already liked me.

- Let's watch the sunrise. - The sun will rise every day.

I'll watch it with you forever. Answer me first.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Guo'er, where are you?

Do you know I miss you?

Brother Jing.

Why aren't you all home eating mooncakes and moon gazing?

They want to pray for Guo'er and Miss Long.

Heaven must pity them; God will protect Brother Yang.

Let's release lanterns for Yang's happy reunion with Miss Long.

Okay.

"At 40 years of age, anything could replace a sword".

"I overcame the sword with no sword".

Brother Eagle.

With the Iron Sword, I can defeat anyone.

But Elder Dugu said,

a wood sword beats an iron sword; no sword beats any sword.

Long'er will meet me in 16 years.

I'll use the 16 years to understand how no sword beats a sword.

The Iron Sword weighs about 45 kgs.

The light wood sword can defeat the iron sword in only two ways:

One: fast, ingenious sword strokes.

Two: overbearing internal energy.

With these skills, who can defeat me?

No wonder Elder Dugu was so lonely and retreated from the world.

Brother Eagle.

If you hadn't seen Elder Dugu's sword skills,

I'd never have learned them.

Even though I call you Brother,

in my heart, you're my kind teacher.

I can't see Long'er for 16 years.

Would you accompany me in the Jianghu?
