Jing!

Silly boy.

All brawn and no brain.

You've kicked the ball to pieces.

So,

I win.

You lose, so get lost.

Why did you say we lost?

None of us hit the pole.

Let's continue.

We don't have a ball now.

How can we continue?

How about this?

Let's compete in sleeping.

Find yourself a branch.

Who wakes up first

loses.

I can't sleep without a bed.

Then we can't do it.

Jing,

you go compete with him.

Rong,

I'm not sleepy yet.

Don't worry.

I have ways to make him lose.

(Rong is amazing.)

(She bought so much delicious food so soon.)

Smells so good.

My father says my Beggar's Chicken

is the best in the world.

Sir, I originally wanted you

to taste it.

What a pity, Jing can't beat you.

So sleep well.

This chicken is only

for Jing and me.

Thief!

Finally, I found you.

Where is Guo Jing?

Where is he?

Guo Jing?

That's enough.

We've so far from Zhongdu.

Why did you follow us?

Why wouldn't I?

Unless that little thief

gives my snake blood back!

Guo Jing!

Come out!

What are you doing here?

I want your blood.

Maybe after you digest it,

your blood will be better.

Who?

Show yourself!

Mercy! Mercy!

Rong, are you okay?

Mercy! Mercy! I...

I really didn't know

it was you, sir.

Mercy! Please!

I...

I really didn't know

it was you.

They kindly invited me

to eat Beggar's Chicken.

What are you blabbering about?

I really didn't know

the two young heroes

are your friends.

Or how could I dare to be rude?

Boy,

Go hit him to vent your anger

and teach him a lesson.

I did drink his snake blood.

It's okay for him to trouble me.

We can forgive him.

He bullied you

but you couldn't beat him.

Now I help you, but you forgive him.

Seems like I'm the bad guy.

I'll do it.

Rong.

Heroine.

- Spare me. - Rong.

Heroine.

- Rong. - Spare me.

Rong.

Mercy! Please!

You can go.

Go.

This Beggar's Chicken

smells so good.

Sir, thank you for your help.

Sir, would you

like to join us?

That would be great.

But who won

the earlier match?

I jumped down first.

- So I lost. - I lost. I lost.

I was already craving it,

no longer sleepy.

Divide it into three.

Give me the chicken butt.

Okay.

Here, sir.

Rong.

Thank you, Jing.

Even a beggar can't make

such a delicious Beggar's Chicken.

I was once a little beggar,

so I learned this skill.

You were a beggar?

I can't tell that.

You look fair and clean.

What do I look like then?

The chicken butt.

Here.

Sir, eat slowly.

No rush. You can have mine.

I can't accept that.

You haven't eaten yet.

- I... - Yes, Rong.

You haven't eaten yet.

You can have mine.

Sir,

you can have mine too.

You're generous.

Alright.

I'm Guo Jing.

May I ask your name, sir?

My family name is Hong,

given name Qi.

You kids

can call me Qigong. [*Gong: an adult male in Chinese]

This girl guessed me right.

So, I'm right.

You are Senior Qigong.

The other day,

I saw bad guys fighting.

The dart they dropped may be worth a penny.

You can take them

for the chicken.

We treat Qigong as a friend.

Friends don't need

money for food.

Well...

Well...

I- I...

I usually don't need to

pay for scraps. But...

But you gave me

such a good chicken.

I...

That's nothing.

I can make many better dishes.

Much better than that Chicken.

Really?

- Yes. - Like what?

We can't cook here.

There's a deserted tavern nearby.

Tomorrow, we can get some food

and supplies.

Then I'll prepare more dishes for you.

Is that okay?

Good, good.

But

we have to make it clear.

If you two are

up to something,

tell me now.

Otherwise, I won't eat.

Qigong is perceptive.

But

how can we two kids

be up to no good?

You are a martial arts master.

We just want to learn some moves

from you.

Your father is skilled.

Why do you ask me?

Qigong, you know my father?

He is the Eastern Heretic.

I'm the Northern Beggar.

We had already fought

countless times

before you were born.

When I first saw you,

you looked familiar.

But I can't recall who you are.

Then I saw your moves.

They are from the Peach Blossom Island.

And your expression now,

your eyebrows, your eyes,

look exactly the same

as that old monster.

Rong is not a monster.

No monster is this pretty.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes, yes, not a monster.

You silly boy.

Your martial arts is a mess.

And You're clumsy.

How can your father-in-law like you?

He hasn't met my father yet.

But if you can teach him one move or two,

my father will like him

for your sake.

And if you take Jing as an apprentice,

it...

Honestly,

I hate flattery

and never take apprentices.

I don't want teach

a clumsy boy.

Jing isn't clumsy.

Don't you say that.

Fine, not clumsy.

But only you treasure

this silly boy.

I won't be tricked into teaching.

See you.

No way will I teach him

and let him marry

Old Heretic Huang's daughter.

Rong, it's okay.

Jing, it smells so good.

Rong,

why do you

prepare so many dishes today?

If we can't eat them all,

that would be wasteful.

These dishes

were for Qigong.

But he didn't want them.

So these are for you now.

Jing, you can't let me down.

You must eat them all.

Okay.

I'll eat them all.

Though Senior Qigong

is a bit odd,

he is a nice person.

Great skills come with temper.

How does Qigong compare to your father?

My father said,

after Wang Chongyang, the Central Divine, died,

only Hong Qigong,

the Nine Fingered Divine Beggar

could rival him

in the world.

He also said

Senior Hong has a set of martial arts

that is unmatched

in the world.

It's a top-notch martial arts set.

Old Heretic Huang,

you think

you are the top one

after Wang's death.

I didn't expect

you still respect me.

What's that martial art?

My father mentioned it.

It's...

I can't remember.

Anyway, I hope Hong teaches you

that martial art.

What's it called?

It's...

Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

I hate flattery

in my life,

but this isn't flattery.

He just accidentally

spoke the truth

to his daughter.

Qigong,

you're a well-known master.

Why did you eavesdrop on us?

Jing, bring the dishes.

Sure.

Let me join you!

I'm bad-tempered but can't resist

good food.

When I see good food, I'll forget everything.

No wonder ancient people say

fingers won't stay still with good food.

When I see good dishes,

my index finger

twitches nonstop.

I missed an important thing

for my gluttony.

I was so mad

and cut off my forefinger.

You can cut off your finger,

but can't cut off your gluttony.

I can never change that.

People should enjoy food.

Or what's the meaning of life?

What do you think?

Lamb rump,

pig ears,

calf kidney,

what's the last one?

I can't tell.

Can you make a guess?

Venison and rabbit mixed.

Impressive!

There are five types of meat.

but mixing pork and lamb is one variation,

while combining venison and beef is another.

Some of the variations

are hard to tell.

Normally, the five differnet meats

blend into 25 variations,

a multiple of plum blossom petals.

And it resembles a flute,

so this dish is called

Whose Jade Flute Lures Falling Plum Blossoms.

Whose means to test someone.

Congratulations, Qigong. You're right.

You're a diner champion.

Good!

This lotus leaf bamboo shoot soup with cherries

looks beautiful.

Almost too pretty to eat.

The lotus leaf is pure, bamboo shoots fresh,

and cherries sweet. I can tell.

But what's inside the cherry?

It's not the pit.

Give it another try.

Turtledove.

This lotus petals bamboo shoot cherries soup

with turtledove,

is there anything special in it?

You missed one thing.

What?

A few petals?

Correct.

The specialty of this dish

lies in these five ingredients.

What is it?

Come on. Cough it up.

I'll give you a hint.

Think of Classic of Poetry.

That's even worse.

I'm a beggar.

I don't read.

Come on, just tell me.

Look at the cherry lips and floral beauty,

isn't that about a beauty?

Beauty soup?

Bamboo shoot eliminate inner weakness

which signifies nobility,

and lotus is the flower of nobility.

So the bamboo shoot and lotus leaf

signify a true gentleman.

So, Beauty and Gentleman Soup?

What about the turtledove?

It must come with

the beauty and the gentleman.

The first poem in the Classic of Poetry,

"Merrily the ospreys cry, on the islet in the stream.

Gentle and graceful is the girl, a fit wife for the gentleman."

So this is called

Love-matching Soup.

Only your father

could have such a clever daughter

who can come up with those ideas.

I don't know about the love-matching part,

but the soup is great.

Boy,

is this girl

your wife?

Great!

You are in for a treat.

Most importantly,

she cares a lot about your future.

Rong is a very good girl.

Good. Very good.

Since I've eaten

your excellent dishes,

I should repay you

by teaching you a few moves.

Jing,

bow to your master.

As always,

I don't take apprentices.

Teaching you martial arts

is just to pay for

these dishes.

Little girl, you prepare meals for me,

and I'll teach him martial arts in return.

How about it? Fair, right?

It's a deal.

Great!

Go hit the tree.

You boy

have got good fundamentals

and strength,

but your skills are lacking.

What should I teach you?

That's a tough one.

Alright.

For your good character,

I'll teach you.

I don't care whether you can learn it.

Maybe you can't even learn it.

If you can't learn it,

don't blame me.

Or your wife will

tell her father that I'm snorty.

Qigong,

Ronger isn't my wife yet.

I'm not talking about your wife.

I'm talking about moves.

Here.

Watch this.

This move is The Proud Dragon Repents.

The focus is on

repenting,

not on pride.

What's behind the pride?

Powerful,

and imposing.

Think about a dragon flying high.

You use all your strength,

thinking you've won,

but you've lost.

The Proud Dragon Repents, but one should not be too proud.

Strike with one part of your strength,

leaving ten parts

in reserve.

That's the way to remain undefeated.

As for repenting,

it reminds us that

after strength

comes decline.

In life, it would be better

to leave some leeway.

Give it a try.

That is not The Proud Dragon Repents.

That is The Bug Repents.

Try again.

Why did I want that food?

Why did I promise

to teach you martial arts?

This one is not bad.

Keep going.

Okay.

Qigong,

what do you think of Jing?

A bit clumsy,

but teachable.

Please teach him well.

I'll prepare different dishes for you every day,

so you can taste all the delicious food.

Qigong,

you've taught Jing

Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Shouldn't you teach me too?

If he gets stronger

and bullies me, what should I do?

Qigong, you are the best.

Jing,

you've been practicing for so long.

Take a break.

Have some water.

Thanks, Rong.

But I want to practice a bit more.

You've learned a whole set

from Qigong.

I've just mastered one move.

Why are there so many snakes?

Rong, be careful.

So, you drank

Liang Ziweng's viper blood,

immune to all poison.

No wonder my precious snakes

all fear you.

Ouyang Ke,

what are you doing here?

Liang Ziweng told me you are here.

So I'm here.

You came here for me?

Of course.

Ever since we met in Zhongdu,

you've been on my mind.

Rong,

come back to Mount White Camel with me.

Rong won't go with you.

Rong won't go with me

all because of you.

I'll kill you today.

Jing, watch out!

(In just a few days,)

(this brat has improved so much.)

Why do you keep using

the same move?

This move

is enough to beat you.

Ridiculous!

Rong,

come with me.

Jing!

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

A master is here.

Guo Jing can resist snake poison,

but can you?

That's Old Venomous Creature's

leftover tricks from ten years ago.

Now you bring them out to show off.

Who are you, sir?

We can't tell you

his name.

If you know that, you must be scared.

You're Ouyang Feng's son?

You know my uncle?

I haven't seen

Old Venomous Creature in 20 years.

He's still alive?

My uncle always says,

his friends aren't all dead yet,

so he wouldn't

dare to die first.

You talk well.

What are you doing here

with your precious snakes?

I've always been in the Western Regions.

I felt lonely on the journey

to the Central Plains,

so I raised some snakes for fun.

I'm sorry to offend you, sir.

Pah!

With so many women accompanying you,

how can you still be lonely?

But none of them

is as good as you, Rong.

- Shame on you! - Shame on you!

You mess around in the Western Regions,

no problem.

But you mess around in the Central Plains.

That's a problem.

For your uncle's sake,

I'll spare you today.

You can go now.

Silly boy,

come here.

Help me pick them up.

Good stuff,

very nutritious.

I'll make a whole snake banquet for you!

You know what?

Snakes are dangerous alive,

but they taste delicious.

Jing.

Thanks, Rong.

Qigong,

who is Ouyang Ke's uncle?

Sounds like quite a person.

Eastern Heretic, Western Venom, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar

and Central Divine.

Her father is Eastern Heretic.

Western Venom

is Ouyang Feng.

20 years ago at the Duel atop Mount Huashan,

Central Divine won in martial arts.

But he passed away early.

So now, the four of us old folks...

We are about the same level,

evenly matched.

I think Ouyang Ke

isn't that great,

so how skilled can his uncle be?

Your father is skilled, right?

And I'm not bad, huh?

Of course not.

There you go.

As for Western Venom, Ouyang Feng,

his character

and martial arts skills

are quite unique.

He uses deadly poisons

that no one can counter.

He likes snakes.

Snakes?

Like today's snake formation?

What was technique you used to break it,

Qigong?

It's a technique I devised

to counter

Old Venomous Creature's snake formation

called Rain of Petals.

Ouyang Ke's martial arts

are not up to par,

but he's good with the snake formation.

But we're not afraid of him.

Qigong, you are not afraid

of Old Venomous Creature.

But that young venomous creature

kept bothering Jing and me.

Is Ouyang Feng's nephew

bothering you?

That's a bit tricky.

What do you mean?

The Proud Dragon Repents

is not enough for Jing.

Teach him more moves.

He's clumsy. He won't learn.

I'll add one more dish every day.

For your dishes,

I'll teach him anyway.

Here, Qigong.

Have some more.

You need strength to teach him,

right?

Jing,

now I'll teach you

the first 15th palms of Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

I always say you're clumsy,

but practicing martial arts

requires this

to build a solid foundation.

The Proud Dragon Repents.

The Dragon Soars in the Sky.

The Dragon is Seen in the Fields.

The Swan Descends Gracefully.

Use Not the Submerged Dragon.

Crossing Great Rivers.

A Sudden Advent.

Tremors that Shook the Land.

Diving into the Abyss.

The Twin Dragons Fetch Water.

The Fish Frolics in the Depths.

Timely Riding the Six Dragons.

Dark Clouds but No Rain.

With a Loss comes Confidence.

The Dragon Fights in the Wilderness.

(Prince Zhao's Mansion)

Get out!

I told you I don't want to be disturbed.

Kang?

You're finally back.

I've been worried about you.

Father.

Father,

I'm here to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

To Mother's hometown,

Niujia Village, Lin'an,

to atone for my sins to Mother.

I won't come back.

Don't leave me.

Kang,

you...

you are not my biological son,

but these years,

I've treated you as my own.

This hasn't changed.

I'm as sad as you are.

I wanted to

burn this house down

to forget your mother

and you.

But I couldn't do it.

Kang!

You're my only son!

I've given you everything

since you were a kid.

If you will,

you can still take the Wanyan name.

After my death,

you can inherit my title

and become a prince.

Please stay,

okay?

Kang.

Nianci.

I can't go to Niujia Village with you for now.

Why?

I must stay.

Stay with Wanyan Honglie.

You still can't give up

wealth and honor.

That's true.

You have to work on the farmland

going back to the countryside.

That is much worse

than the easy life here.

It's up to you.

I won't force you.

Nianci,

you got me wrong.

Just thinking about

living a simple life

with you is wonderful.

But now,

Wanyan Honglie is after

General Yue Fei's Book of Wumu.

If he gets it,

- Our Song will... - No need to explain.

Stay if you want.

I'll assume you have your reasons.

If you want to go back someday,

just tell me.

Nianci,

you trust me,

don't you?

It's not about

what you say now,

but what you will do

in the future.

I worry if we go back now,

the villagers will gossip about you

marrying a Wanyan.

How could I bear to see you treated like that?

If I get the Book of Wumu for our Song,

no one will look down on us.

Then we'll return to Niujia Village

and stay forever.

Well,

you must keep in mind

what you said today.
