EPISODE 51

I've two more matters.

Please speak.

One: our late Chief must be replaced.

You want to be Chief; where's Dog Beating Stick?

We haven't found it.

Chief Lu was killed by a criminal who stole the Stick.

It's a disgrace; the Clan must retrieve it.

Two: I want to know whether Chief Lu has been avenged.

Chief Lu was harmed by Huo Dou; we hunted for him.

We found no trace; I won't give up

- until I avenge Chief Lu. - Fine.

First, get back the Stick; second, avenge Chief Lu.

These tasks aren't done, yet you want to be Chief.

Aren't you rushing?

Brother He makes sense.

But our disciples are scattered, and can't be left leaderless.

Those two tasks aren't easily done.

We urgently need a Chief.

- You're very wrong! - Why am I wrong?

Whoever gets the Stick and kills Huo Dou

should be Chief.

What if Huo Dou defeats Yelu Qi; will he be Chief?

Rot! How'd Huo Dou defeat him?

Brother Yelu is expert, but not invincible.

I've only 5 Pouches; but he won't beat me.

Brother Qi, give this rascal a lesson!

Clan affairs are Elders' business, nothing to do with Madam Clan Chief.

And Yelu Qi isn't Chief yet.

Even if he was, Madam Yelu has no right to denounce a disciple. Right?!

You!

He's right.

Elder Liang, if I beat Master Yelu,

I can lead Beggar Clan, right?

Or should we wait for the Stick?

Whoever it is must beat all contenders, retrieve the Stick and kill the enemy.

If Master Yelu is Chief, those tasks are his.

If he can't beat you, how'd he lead?

That's reasonable.

This lowly beggar wants pointers from Master Yelu!

I'm unworthy to accept, but if you teach me something,

that's good.

Well said.

How strange; He Shiwo had low skills.

How'd his kungfu get formidable?

What's his School style?

I can't tell; he's hiding his origins.

Qi'er can win; if He Shiwo won't concede defeat, he'll reveal himself.

- Brother-in-law. - Brother Qi.

Come.

He used a dirty trick! Qi, fight again.

Though I beat Master Yelu, I don't dare be Chief.

I want to wait for the Stick, and for that dog, Huo Dou, to be killed.

Who's this?

Miss Guo, this is Eagle Hero's third gift.

What's this? Why's it moving?

Da'erba?

You bastard traitor! I'll kill you today.

- Rong'er, what's going on? - They know each other; let's observe.

Abbess, the gifts are weird...

The best is for last; be patient.

Hero Guo, Madam Guo, look.

Dog Beating Stick?

Eagle Hero said to return this.

Thanks, everyone.

They found the Stick.

That metal fan hurt me.

- He's not He Shiwo. - He's disguised.

- Who is he? - You know him.

I fought him at the Heroes Meet.

Huo Dou? Yes, he used a paper fan; now it's a metal fan.

Why are those two brothers fighting?

At Quanzhen, when Guo'er's sword pinned those two, Huo Dou deserted Da'erba.

So that scum hid in Beggar Clan and fooled everybody.

He killed Chief Lu and stole the Stick.

No wonder he found Lu's corpse.

He schemed to be Chief; he'd let a random disciple find the Stick.

No-one suspected his disguise.

Luckily Guo'er exposed Huo Dou, or it'd be dire.

Big Bro saw me mourning Uncle Lu, so he took revenge for me.

He deserved to die.

Teacher, I ended our grudge!

Eagle Hero spares you if you stay in Tibet.

Thank Eagle Hero for giving me this traitor. I'll keep my word.

That's good.

Reincarnation Chant

I'll see if it is Huo Dou.

- Sister Fu. - Sis.

- Sister Fu. - Sis.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- A stone saved Fu'er. - Finger Flicking Skill.

Dad, is that you? Come out.

- Dad, it's you. - Greetings, Father-in-law. - Enough.

Fu'er, thank Granddad.

Not only I saved her.

Brother Yang. Not coming out?

- Guo'er. - Guo'er.

Big Bro, you came.

Master Huang, Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo; it's been a long time.

Guo'er, so good to see you.

Dad, you came with Guo'er?

Quite the opposite; on my travels...

Brothers.

Eagle Hero will hold a rare grand event at Xiangyang; let's join in.

I didn't know Eagle Hero.

I feared trouble so I hid.

But Eagle Hero is Brother Yang, so I needn't have worried.

Fu'er, thank Guo'er.

Granddad, thanks for saving me.

Brother Yang, thanks for being our saviour.

You've a polite husband, Sister Fu.

So you're her husband.

- Yelu Qi greets you. - Rise. You're talented.

Xiang, Polu, greet Granddad.

Go now.

- Peace to Granddad. - Okay, get up.

Granddad.

Xiang'er, you resemble your Grandma.

She's like you; she's 'Little Eastern Heretic'.

Good; someone takes after me.

You trounced the Mongols; thank you.

Uncle Guo, it's my small gift to Xiang.

Big Bro, you got me big gifts; I'm grateful.

Guo'er, how'd you know it was Huo Dou?

By coincidence, 10 years ago I saw He Shiwo killed by Reverend Ci'en.

He Shiwo reappeared; I nosed out Hou Dou's plot.

You were at Yang Tai Fu Temple?

Yes, but I was rushing on business.

Guo'er, you saved Xiangyang and avenged Chief Lu.

You should be Clan Chief.

He's right. I won't take it; it's yours.

I am a wanderer, unsuited to be Chief.

Brother Yelu, you have literary and kungfu skills.

This post suits you.

We won't insist. Qi'er, take over as Chief.

Yes.

Beggar Clan Brothers, any objections?

No objections!

Our legacy continues.

Good.

Guo'er, stay tonight; let's chat.

Yes, Big Bro, I've lots to tell you.

Uncle Guo, I have tasks; I won't stay.

If I meet Long'er, we'll visit.

Everyone, farewell.

- Dad, will he be back? - Rong'er, I'm off too.

Dad, you just arrived.

You know I avoid noisy crowds. Okay, I'm off.

Brother Yang, wait for me; let's drink.

Dad! Damn, I had something urgent to say.

Master, how are Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang?

They live in their hometown, Jiaxing, with Sha Gu.

They won't roam Jianghu with me.

For the past 10 years, I looked for you.

I've a question for you.

I wander and am hard to find.

What do you want to ask?

I wonder if you...

Yin Kexi & Xiaoxiang Zi

We haven't seen each other in a while.

Hero Yang, long time no see.

Such rogues.

What's the rush?

Yang Guo, you...

You..! Let's leave.

Move aside.

Your powerful Palm compares only with Guo Jing's Dragon Palms.

- My Peach Blossom Palm loses to you. - Not so.

I became your disciple and learned Finger Flicking and Jade Flute Skills

after Cheng Ling saved me.

You can tell my Palm has the essence of your techniques.

But something's unclear; I heard

you learned a Palm from South Sea Divine Nun. Would you show me?

South Sea Divine Nun?

Who's she? I never heard of her.

Maybe I'm ignorant of her as a hero.

Are you in trouble?

Tell me; maybe I can help.

I'm not... I...

I...

Have more wine.

So no Divine Nun exists.

Yang Guo, you've been tricked...

Tricked for 16 years.

Brother Yang, you...

My heart is in great turmoil.

Please pardon me.

South Sea Divine Nun?

What's this Divine Nun?

I wrongly thought Guo'er hated us and would harm you.

How could that be?

He could've easily killed me.

At Fenglingdu, his one finger could kill me.

You won't understand.

He could've made you suffer.

Now I know he won't.

But something worries me.

Mom, what's worrying you? Big Bro Yang won't brood.

When he meets his wife, he'll be so happy.

I fear Guo'er mightn't meet her.

How could that be?

Big Bro Yang told me that, after his wife got injured,

Divine Nun treated her for 16 years.

Their love is deep; how can't they meet?

It's not that simple.

Big Bro Yang told me his wife carved words:

"In 16 years, meet here; never fail the promise"

Aren't those words true?

They're genuine words but Miss Long loved Guo'er too much.

I don't get it.

16 years ago, both were poisoned.

Guo'er had an antidote but Miss Long didn't.

Guo'er didn't want to live and threw the antidote into a ravine.

You're too young to understand.

Mom. If I was his wife, I'd pretend to be well so he'd take the antidote.

Yes, I fear she did.

She wrote that their love was deep, and to never fail the promise.

I guessed Miss Long disappeared

to let Guo'er wait patiently.

She thought 16 years would let Guo'er forget her.

Even though he'd be sad, he wouldn't suicide.

Won't Divine Nun save her?

There's no such person.

There isn't?!

That day at Broken Heart Cliff, I saw Guo'er's anguish.

I made her up to console him.

I said she lives on Wisdom Island; it's non-existent.

I said she taught my dad a Palm.

Guo'er is smart.

It had to be realistic to convince him.

Mom.

Is Yang's wife dead?

The 16 years was a trick?

No, no.

Miss Long may be alive.

If she can meet him, it's ideal.

Miss Long is Tomb successor.

Its Founder, Lin ChaoYing, was knowledgeable.

Maybe she passed a skill that saved Miss Long.

I agree.

Madam Yang is a good person; Yang loves her. She won't easily die.

If Yang can't see her, will he go crazy?

I wanted to ask my Dad to hush it up; I had no chance.

Oh no.

Yang's with Granddad; he'll ask about Divine Nun.

Granddad will tip him off; that's bad.

I'll find him now.

It's too late.

Guo'er needs big luck to see her.

If he goes crazy, what might he do?

He'll hate me for fooling him.

Mom, don't worry.

You acted in kindness.

Guo'er saved me, your dad, your sis and you.

He saved us and Xiangyang.

We can never repay our debt of gratitude.

Guo'er is lonely; he's past 30 but had few happy days.

If he can't meet his wife, he'll die of heartbreak.

Yang's character is good but hardship made him eccentric.

He, Granddad and I are heretics.

Yes; he's good but unorthodox.

If Miss Long isn't alive, promise you won't meet him.

Why can't I meet him?

If Guo'er finds Miss Long, you may meet them.

If Guo'er can't meet her, he can go crazy.

Mom.

He'd be heartbroken and need consoling.

He listens to no-one.

If Yang can't meet Miss Long, will he suicide?

I can guess other people's thoughts but not Guo'er's.

I say this for your own good.

Unless they meet, avoid him.

Big Bro is stubborn. What do I do?

He gave me three needles.

One is left.

I'll ask him not to suicide.

He'll keep his word; I must find him.

Everyone, anyone want a boat?

We're having our tea.

Okay.

Sir, where are you going?

Where are you going?

Wherever.

Okay, this way.

Sir, be careful.

I call you GuGu, but my heart held you as my wife long ago.

- I want to be your wife. - Be my wife forever.

Of course. I'll always be your wife.

My heart won't change.

GuGu, you acknowledge me.

While I'm alive, how can't I?

Will you leave with me?

Only you are in my heart.

I must be with Guo'er.

Guo'er, don't fear. I'll share the pain.

Guo'er.

Even if I die now, I'll be happy.

But if I die, who'll care for you?

As long as we're together,

I'll be happy.

Now you and I will never part.

Dad, Mom.

- Sis is missing. - How can she be?

I found a letter on her desk.

Let me read it.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I'm going to convince Brother Yang not to suicide.

When I have done this, I will return immediately.

Signed, Xiang.

Mom, how could Xiang'er...

She's too naive.

I told her Guo'er only listens to Miss Long.

If Yang Guo listens, he won't be Yang Guo.

Rong'er.

Why would Guo'er kill himself?

It's my fault.

Take care.

Miss Guo, you're here. I'll get you tea.

Waiter, I forgot my money; I'll pay next time, okay?

No, don't pay for tea.

Without your dad, we'd be beggars.

You honour us being here.

- I won't be shy. - Don't be shy.

Miss, I'll get you some buns.

Thank you.

- Miss Guo, your buns. - Thanks.

She's Guo Jing's kid.

Heaven's on my side.

Oh no. Should I go South, or North?

Lass.

Who are you? Why are you alone?

Reverend Yideng is kind; this monk should be good.

- I'm Guo; I'm seeking someone. - Who?

You're a busybody; I won't say.

Miss, what's he look like? I may know where he is.

Makes sense.

You may know him.

He's missing his left arm.

He may be with a big eagle.

Do you seek Yang Guo?

Yes. You know him?

He's my friend.

We met before you were born.

What's your name?

I'm Zhu Mu Lang Ma (Mt Everest!).

What a long name.

Chomolungma is Tibet's tallest peak.

Okay, High Monk.

Where's my Big Bro?

- Your Big Bro? - Yes, Yang Guo.

But he's Yang; you're Guo. How...?

He's my foster sibling.

I'm reminded of my sworn brother,

Guo Jing.

Do you know him?

I sneaked out; he's Dad's friend.

He might drag me home; better not say anything.

You mean Hero Guo? He's my Senior.

You want to meet him?

I haven't met Hero Guo for 20 years.

I heard a rumour he had died.

I sadly came to pay respects.

Don't be sad; Hero Guo didn't die.

He's dead. How'd a girl know?

I just came from Xiangyang; how can't I know?

I met Hero Guo yesterday.

Impossible.

Truthfully,

Guo Jing is my dad; it's no lie.

Hero Guo's one daughter is Guo Fu.

I know her.

She's over 30.

You're too young to be his daughter.

That's big sis, Guo Fu.

I'm her sis, Guo Xiang.

Hero Guo really didn't die?

He isn't dead; If my Dad died, I'd die crying.

Great.

This is such good news.

Miss, I won't go to Xiangyang.

Please give my message to Hero Guo and Chief Huang to stay safe.

Wait!

You're unreasonable.

How am I?

I gave you news of Dad; you gave no news of Big Bro.

He was at North Valley of Nanyang yesterday when I saw him.

He was training.

He should still be there; find him on your own.

There are many valleys; direct me clearly.

I'm going north; I'll take you.

Okay, thanks very much.

I wrapped them.

Here.

- Here's your money. - Okay.

Sir, you're awake.

How long did I sleep?

Two days and nights.

- Have a zong zi (dumpling). - Thanks.

Where are we?

It's Jiaxing; their zong zi are big.

Jiaxing?

Jiaxing zong zi...

freshly steamed big dumplings.

Dumplings. Come see.

My dad was killed at Jiaxing by Huang Rong.

Crows ate his flesh; I must be a filial son and bury his remains properly.

I'm in Jiaxing; I must take a look.

High Monk, hurry. Is it there?

It's over there.

- What's the rush to see Yang Guo? - I want...

- It's Miss Guo. - Big Head, Long Beard.

- Why are you here? - Why are you with Jinlun?

He's not Jinlun; he's Zhumu Langma, Dad's friend.

How'd he be Jinlun, Dad's enemy?

Where'd you meet?

We just met; he's funny. We're finding Big Bro.

Miss, get here! That monk's bad.

- He tricked me? - Eagle Hero is in the South.

- How's he in the North? - Yeah.

Nonsense.

Miss, run now!

Release him. I'll go with you!

Long Beard Ghost!

- Little girl, not afraid? - Fear what?

Kill me quickly.

You're a brave girl.

I won't kill you.

Iron Spear Temple

Over 30 years ago,

Dad was poisoned here, and I never met him.

That makes me even sadder.

Iron Spear God, you didn't save Dad from dying.

I hope I find traces of Dad.

[ Grave of Yang Kang ]

Dad...I finally found you.

I am unfilial.

"Unworthy student, Yang Kang"

"Qiu ChuJi"

Qiu ChuJi, you're cruel.

Dad died terribly. Why'd you inscribe "unworthy"?

How could he be?

Why be dutiful to old Cow-nose?

I'll kill ChuJi to dull my hatred.

We're almost there.

Let's hurry.

Brother, will Old Ke come?

Hard to say; probably not.

Who stupidly invites death?

But Old Ke led Jiangnan 7 Freaks.

He bet ChuJi he'd teach Guo Jing.

The Freaks never broke their word; that's why we let him go.

You're right.

I say he will come.

So they're waiting for Old Ke.

Weird; he's unafraid to die.

I kept my word.

That's 9-Flower Jade Dew Pills; 4 each.

- Thanks. - Enough.

I settled my business; I'm here to die.

Attack!

We saw Yang Kang die.

You're getting retribution like him.

Crap!

Yang Kang took a villain as his father and betrayed his nation.

He was a vile animal; how can you insult me by comparing me to that traitor?

Still trying to be a hero?

Attack.

Who are you?
