EPISODE 53

Great.

Compared with my First Disciple, you learn fast and train well.

Where's First Disciple?

After he completed training, he caught pneumonia and died.

Don't talk of the past.

Watch your health very carefully

and try not to fall ill.

You treat me well.

I'm your Teacher; so I should.

If you don't oppose Dad, won't it be better?

Your parents and I serve different rulers

or else we'd be friends.

Teacher, can't you persuade Great Khan not to fight?

Child, you don't understand.

Great Khan made me Imperial Priest, and got me to quell the Wulin.

Great Khan respects me, but he doesn't consult me about war.

Your dad's 18-Dragon Palms

and your mom's 8-Trigams and Dog Beating, are amazing. I admire them.

Really? How'd you rate Big Bro?

Yang Guo is no match, unless he and Xiao Long Nu use formidable Jade Swordplay.

I'm seeking a way to fight them.

Then at Passionless Valley, you'll concede defeat?

I can foil him.

Yang Guo's your Brother; I'll meet him as a friend.

That's good. You can't beat him; being friends is smart.

How can't I beat him? I'll spare him so you won't be sad.

Teacher, you changed.

Thank you.

Get up.

I must say something.

Loving Yang Guo is useless. He'll be happy with Xiao Long Nu; you're not wanted.

If he can't find her, he'll be a ghost; you're still unwanted.

I...

I hope he and Xiao Long Nu can be together happily.

If he's happy, I'm happy.

I'm not in his heart.

Teacher, don't worry.

I hope you'll be happy.

What can I do? It's my fate.

- I have a solution. - Really?

Disciple, look.

Guru Rinpoche's right hand holds Wisdom Buddha to dispel worries.

His left hand holds a lotus for peace within.

Be like the lotus, pure in the mud, calm beauty.

Guru Rinpoche has powerful advice.

Guru Rinpoche's wisdom teaches you to forget worries.

Teacher.

Rinpoche is good; I pray to him.

But...I don't want to forget worries.

Why?

I like worries.

No worries means no Big Bro; I like him.

Pity I wasn't born 22 years earlier.

I'd have learned kungfu to save young Yang Guo from bullying

and let him get to know me.

So when he met Xiao Long Nu, he'd hand her 3 needles and say:

"Little sister, you're cute; I like you"

"but my heart belongs to Xiang. For any problem, send me a needle."

Disciple.

When you pray to Guru Rinpoche, don't get distracted.

Old Urchin.

What?

Little Rong? I'm off.

- You can't see me. - What's wrong? Old Urchin?

Old Urchin, open the door. Why hide?

I won't open the door.

Strange; what's he up to?

Amituofo.

Reverend Yideng.

Amituofo. Honourable guests, welcome.

So you're Old Urchin's neighbour.

Greetings to Reverend.

Amituofo.

Why's Old Urchin so odd?

Madam Guo, guess who else lives here.

Don't tell me it's YingGu.

You're so smart; my respects.

That Old Urchin.

YingGu, I'm here to visit.

Come out now.

- Don't talk to me. - Get up.

I'm shy; don't say I'm here.

Old Urchin blushes.

Stop hiding.

- Come out. - I don't want to.

- Come out. - No!

Not coming out?

Hurry; you're at fault.

You three resolved your grudges and live together.

It's a blessing.

That's right.

Do you have important business?

You're right. I need Old Urchin's help.

Xiang'er was captured by Jinlun.

Ridiculous!

Xiang'er is a cute girl.

Jinlun is scum.

I'll rescue Xiang'er.

That's great.

Amituofo. I like your daughter.

I'll go with you.

Great; Reverend rarely intervenes. Xiang will be safe.

Yes! How about we six people join forces and go.

Little Rong, if we're determined, we can save Xiang'er.

Want to see something fun? Come on.

- It's fun. - Slow down.

Don't trip.

- I won't. - Where are we going?

My skill improves daily.

You created a new kungfu?

Of course not.

Yang Guo invented the world-best Melancholic Palms to put me to shame.

That Yang Guo is amazing.

He was praised by Xiang, a child, and you, a veteran.

So what's your skill?

Bee keeping is my skill!

Miss Long gave you Jade Bees; what's special?

You don't understand.

Xiao Long Nu gave me a valuable creature.

After I raised them, they're more valuable and rare!

This is amazing; how can Xiao Long Nu even compare in this skill to me, Old Urchin?

You got more shameless.

You brag so much.

Your ego is unrivalled, very rare!

I'm going.

Little Rong!

Let me ask; humans can tattoo bodies with dragons, tigers or leopards.

But have you seen tattoos on creatures?

Tigers have stripes, leopards have spots.

So what?

Open your eyes.

"Passion...Valley...Bottom"?

YingGu must've tattooed it.

No. It's on every bee.

"I...Am...At..."

"Passion Valley Bottom"?

- It's on each one. - "I am at..."

"I'm at the bottom of Passionless Valley"

Is Xiang'er at Passionless Valley?

I never read the words.

These Jade Bees flew in from elsewhere, right?

How'd you know?

How long ago did they fly in?

It was years ago, but I didn't know their wings had words.

I only found out a few months ago.

How many years?

Why'd I lie?

Unless...

Let's go to the Valley.

It must be something fun.

Big Bro meets Xiao Long Nu soon; we should go.

Wait till we train in neigong.

Teacher.

Train on the way. Do you fear Big Bro and Xiao Long Nu?

If you can't beat them, I'll help you.

Okay. Tomorrow we'll set off.

I can counter Jade Maiden Swordplay.

One needle is left; I'll beg him not to kill himself.

He's Eagle Hero.

A promise is worth a 1000 or 10,000 in gold.

He must keep his word and not kill himself.

I want to remember you forever.

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

I hope God gives us 100 years.

100 years to take care of you, dote on you, love you, repay you.

Even for a day, let's be husband and wife.

Even for an hour, let's be husband and wife.

Give me many children, okay?

Do you want a girl or a boy?

I'd prefer girls

so we have many Xiao Long Nu's.

When we have many children,

I won't call you Long'er, but "Child's Mother".

Child's Mother.

Child's Mother!

As your wife, must I obey you?

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

Tomorrow is our appointment.

South Sea Divine Nun was concocted by Aunt Guo

but these words on the rock were inscribed by you.

I hope you show up.

Quickly.

Hurry up!

Today they meet; hurry.

- It's just an hour away. - Let's go now.

16 years ago, Long'er died.

Her injury was past help.

She tricked me into waiting.

How didn't I understand her heart?

"Life and death are boundless, immeasurable, unforgettable"

"Lonely graves 1000 li apart, unspeakable desolation"

I've been parted from Long'er for 16 years.

That poet had his wife's grave.

Where are my wife's bones?

I have searched everywhere; Long'er left no trace.

Everyone said, "Guo'er, wait, stay alive".

What's right or wrong? I had no answer for 16 years.

I won't think about it...I'll meet her soon.

Big Brother!

I have one gold needle. Don't kill yourself.

I wonder if you survived.

Big Brother!

Child!

Why's a light there? Unless...

Why are you here?

I saw you jump and followed you.

Nonsense! Don't you fear death?

If you're not afraid, I'm not.

Big Bro.

You gave me three gold needles; you'd honour three requests.

I came to ask you, if you don't meet your wife, not to suicide.

You left Xiangyang just for this?

Yes; you can't break your word.

I take it you agreed, Eagle Hero!

Big Bro.

Big Monk, why are you here?

The child Guo Xiang jumped down.

Is it true?

Why would I lie?

This is her sleeve.

Damn monk! How'd you kill a cute girl?

I didn't kill her.

How'd she fall in?

You pushed her or coerced her.

I wanted her as my disciple

to pass all my kungfu.

I didn't think she'd jump.

Bullshit!

Her Granddad, Dad and Mom have superior kungfu. How'd you teach her?

Even my kungfu mishmash surpasses your wheel junk!

She disrespected your kungfu and you pushed her in, right?!

I didn't push her. Why'd she kill herself?

I don't understand.

Monk Jinlun.

I'll kill you for revenge.

Rotten monk, take this!

YingGu - Mudfish Manoeuvres

Jinlun denied pushing her.

He's only defending. Why would he push Xiang'er?

Dragon/Elephant Wisdom Dexterity

You're staying?

King Duan is fighting; you'll insult him by helping.

Solitary Yang Finger

I'll call my eagles to help.

Damn monk! Forget Wulin rules; it'll be two to one.

Wait for me.

Vacant Fist

Madam Yang.

Madam Yang.

Madam Yang.

Eagle!

- It's my eagle; we're saved. - Go first.

I'll send the eagle back for you.

I'm going.

It will take 100 rounds to end this fight.

If White-brow Monk attacks me, my life is over.

Master Huang, he killed your granddaughter!

East Heretic, Huang Yaoshi?

Correct! What can I do for you?

My respects to you.

I heard of the Five Greats: North, West, South, East, Central.

I'm lucky to meet you. Where are the others?

Central, North and West died.

He's South King; he's Central's Brother.

If Brother was alive, he'd beat you in 10 rounds!

One-on-one, none of you can defeat me.

Spit on you! Think you're top expert?

Who'd fight you one-on-one? Just kill yourself!

Of Five Greats, I met two today.

If I die at your hands, it's an honour.

It's a pity my Dragon/Elephant Wisdom Dexterity dies with me.

Your kungfu is great; it's a pity not to pass it on.

Pass it to me?

Brother Zhou, stop fooling around.

Mom.

Xiang'er.

Mom.

- Xiang'er. - Mom.

- Mom. - Are you okay?

- I'm fine. - Let me see.

Mom, Big Bro is down there.

Big Bro?

So Guo'er is down there?

What? Dumb Egg's in the gorge?

- Yes. - Dumb Egg!

Dumb Egg!

Mom, send the eagle to him.

- Mom, the eagle... - She killed herself.

- "What is love binding into death?" - Amituofo.

If she had lived, she would be flying alone.

Her shadow was solitary; how could she live?

Let's save Brother Yang in the gorge.

Yes, Mom, think how to save him.

What's the bottom like?

I don't know; I fell into deep water.

I swallowed mouthfuls of water and kept sinking.

Big Bro pulled me to the surface.

- Was there a foothold? - There's an embankment.

- How'd you fall in? - Yang asked that.

I returned his last gold needle and told him not to kill himself.

He said nothing.

Then our eagle flew down and I got on its back.

Mom, the eagle is dead;

how do we save Big Bro?

Guo'er won't be in danger.

Let's all make a rope.

Okay.

Bee hives?

Someone's keeping bees?

Why are they like Long'er's bees?

They're handmade mud hives.

Maybe Long'er lived here since jumping down?!

God, O God, please let me see her again.

"Passion..Valley"?

"I..Am..Passion..Valley..Bottom"

"I'm at the bottom of Passionless Valley".

Is Long'er not dead?

She's in the gorge?

Long'er.

Long'er!

Long'er! Where are you?!

Why can't I see her body?

If Long'er is dead, her bones will be here

unless they're in the icy pool.

That's right, in the pool, I saw a light.

Is it Paradise?

Until I find out what happened to her body, I won't give up.

Nothing will stop me.

This rope should be long enough.

1, 2, 3.

- Mom, check its length. - It should be long enough.

You're recovering from a chill.

- Don't go down. - I'm fine.

- I want to go. - You...

Xiang'er, heed your mom. We'll collect Yang Guo.

It's unsafe to all go.

Rest here.

Teacher, Sister. Jinlun's kungfu is so strong, will he...

We sealed his acupoints; he can't free himself.

Let's go.

Xiang'er, we're going down; watch Jinlun.

I know.

- Dad, let's go. - Okay.

Let's go.

- Dumb Egg! - Yang Guo!

- Yang Guo! - Dumb Egg!

Yang Guo!

- Brother Yang! - Guo'er!

Can you hear us?

- Dumb Egg. - Master Yang.

If you hear us, call.

Dumb Egg.

- Dumb Egg! - Brother Yang! - Guo'er!

Xiang'er said he's here.

Look, hives; someone keeps bees?

- They're like your bees. - I'll check their wings.

No words. Why no words?

Why none?

There's one!

Look.

- "I Am At" - Who inscribed their wings?

It's Madam Yang.

Is Miss Long not dead?

Is Yang looking for her?

But where? Can you see a way out?

Is Yang Guo in this pool?

- I'll look. - Cousin, let me.

- Cousin! - Let me go.

It's deep, icy water; Rong'er, be careful.

Rong'er, eat this 9-Flower Jade Dew Pill.

Be careful.

Big Bro!

Big Bro!

Will Big Bro ascend with Granddad and Mom?

Why'd he try to suicide?

Did Sister-in-law die, and they can't meet?

It hurts badly.

Big Bro isn't here, or you'd get what you deserve.

Why'd they seal Spirit Tower and Great Palace Gateway?

It's like a million ants biting.

It's unbearable pain.

If they'd sealed Chest Centre and Jade Pillow...

- I'd feel better. - Don't whine!

Mom said sealing Chest Centre and Jade Pillow is fatal.

Endure it; they're back soon.

Disciple. Haven't I treated you well?

No complaints; but you killed Big Head and Long Beard and our eagle.

I can't accept that.

If you want revenge, take it.

Kill me now.

But remember... I regarded you as my child.

Won't you repay me?

How do I repay you?

Hit my Middle Chest and Jade Pillow, so I feel better.

That will repay me.

I won't kill you!

If you hit them, I won't die.

Disciple. I'll beg your mum for mercy.

Disciple, it's so hard to bear.

Okay then. Teacher...

- I'll try. - Okay.

Hit them again.

How is it?

I'm much better. See, I'm alive.

I'll hit Jade Pillow again.

Okay.

You...you!

My martial skills are matchless; let's go!

You tricked me!

- Let's go. - Let me go; I won't go.

- Rong'er, be careful. - Get up. - Watch out.

Little Rong, how was it?

It's too deep and icy.

I dived deep and met a strong force.

I kept going down, but the force got stronger.

I couldn't reach the bottom.

If you could find no traces,

where are Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu?

It's futile. Rong'er, don't talk.

Use neigong to dispel chill.

Could Dumb Egg and Madam Yang fly?

We can't know.

Let's write on the rocks.

When Brother Yang comes back, he'll know we were here.

We'll leave the ropes so they can climb up.

Yes! I'll inscribe it.

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er, where are you?

Xiang'er is missing.

She should be okay.

Jinlun is missing.

Did Jinlun unseal his acupoints and take Xiang'er away?

Impossible! No-one can unseal their own acupoints.

Unless...Xiang'er did it?

- What do we do? - What to do?

Let's look for them now.

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er, where are you?

Xiang'er!

Xiang'er!

This is Xiang'er's.

- Don't search; Jinlun seized Xiang'er. - Dad, what to do?

Rong'er, Xiang'er is smart; Jinlun wanted her as his disciple.

I fear Jinlun will use Xiang'er to make Jing surrender Xiangyang.

Let's rush to Xiangyang.

Let's go.

Dragon Girl flowers?

Long'er?

Guo'er?

Is that you?
