(The Legend Of Heroes)

(Hot Blooded) (Adapted from The Legend of the Condor Heroes)

(Episode 13)

This house has been empty for so long.

It's natural that it's fallen into disrepair.

But now that someone is living in it,

it won't take long to get it all fixed up and bright again.

Kang,

if you don't like this old house,

we can move somewhere else.

How can we?

I'm just moved.

A child who was taken away has finally returned home.

How can I not be emotional?

Life is so unpredictable.

Father.

Have a seat.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's been so many years.

Maybe it's time

I celebrate your birthday today.

Father,

it's so hard to forget someone.

It's been so many years since Mother left.

How did you get through it?

Does that jar of Drunken Dreams

really make you forget everything?

It's not about remembering,

it's about not being able to forget.

I'll see Jing one last time

and let him return to the grasslands.

Dad,

don't finish

the Drunken Dreams,

save half for me.

I've been on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years,

and I haven't wasted my time.

I created the 72 Styles Vacant Fist,

focusing on extreme emptiness and softness.

It's like the Eight Trigrams on the stone wall,

where the balance of yin and yang is the most powerful.

It perfectly complements your 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Sir,

what you're saying sounds a lot

like the principle of Mighty Dragon Showing Remorse Qi Gong taught me.

That old beggar sure has picked a good disciple.

Come, I'll teach you!

Father,

I'll see him one last time

and let him

go back to the grasslands.

Impressive, you brat!

I didn't expect you to learn

most of my Vacant Fist techniques in just one night.

That's because you're a good teacher, sir.

No, no. It's because you're talented.

If I didn't rely on my internal strength

and only used the moves, I wouldn't be able to beat you.

Now there are

two Guo Jing

and two Old Imp.

Even if we run into Old Heretic Huang, we won't need to be afraid.

With your current abilities,

you shouldn't fear Mr Huang.

Don't worry, don't worry.

I won't put you in that spot.

I won't force you to fight your father-in-law.

That's not what I meant, sir.

You think I don't understand what you mean?

This is boring.

Let's do something fun.

Today,

we'll escape from the Peach Blossom Forest!

The formation in the Forest

is the Inverted Yin-Yang Formation.

Its power lies in the constant shifting positions

of the four yin gates and four yang gates among the eight.

I can narrow it down to four and then to two,

but at the final step,

I can never tell

which one is the Life Door and which is the Death Door.

We'll split up and take different paths.

One of us is bound to find the Life Door.

What do we do now, sir?

Looks like since you arrived on the island,

Old Heretic Huang has changed the formation again.

But he can't outsmart me.

That way! Grab the stuff!

Got it.

I finally found it!

The last door is around here.

Where should we go next, sir?

There are only two paths left,

which must be the Life Door and the Death Door.

-You take that one. Go! -All right!

Life Door! Life Door!

Old Imp really has a death wish.

He actually found his way here.

My father's formation isn't that easy to break.

Both of these paths are Death Doors.

This is a Death Door.

Looks like

I'll have to count on Mr Zhou.

Jing, where are you?

Rong'er!

Rong'er!

Jing!

Rong'er!

-Jing. -Rong'er.

I'm so glad I found you.

Put me down.

Put me down now.

We can't keep doing this.

During the days I couldn't see you,

I've thought about it.

I really do like you,

but I can't share your heart with anyone else.

Rong'er, I've told you before,

I only see Hua Zheng as a sister.

I don't want to be a prince consort.

I just want to be yours.

This is your last chance to leave Peach Blossom Island.

I got my father drunk.

I'll take you away from here.

Don't come back.

I didn't lie to you.

When I came here, I never planned on leaving.

When my father wakes up,

you'll be trapped here forever.

Forever it is then.

Don't say foolish things.

My father will really kill you.

Then let him kill me.

Wherever you are,

that's where I want to be.

Let go of her hands,

you insolent brat.

Father...

My daughter went through

so much trouble

to get me to spare you.

Since you want to die,

I'll grant your wish.

-Father! -Stop!

A grandmaster bullying a youngster.

Shame on you, shame on you!

This is none of your business.

I want to help this brat, that makes it my business.

If you don't like it,

let's have a duel.

Have you forgotten why you've been stuck on my island for 15 years?

I've forgotten!

My martial arts skills have greatly improved.

Dare to have a duel with me?

Snake!

Sir!

You know you can't beat me, so you resort to this dirty trick.

Are you all right?

Rong'er!

Silver-bellied snakes?

Snake...

Father,

why are there so many snakes on our island?

I'm terrified of snakes!

-Brat, hurry! -Rong'er!

Let's go back to the cave! Come on!

-Let's go! -I'll carry you, sir.

Run!

I never thought

I would

die from

a snake bite.

Don't suck it.

This snake's poison is no ordinary toxin.

One sip, and you're dead.

(Jing, this medicine is specifically for treating snake venom.)

(Apply it externally for three days, and you'll be healed.

Comfortable!

So comfortable!

Sir, you're awake.

-How are you feeling? -Brat...

You sucked out the venomous blood.

How are you still fine?

I once drank the blood of a Seven-Treasure Viper,

so now I'm immune to all poisons.

That's amazing.

Thank you for saving me.

Yes, yes, I can't die yet.

I haven't defeated Old Heretic Huang. I can't die.

Mr Huang is so strong.

-Maybe you should... -Break his formation first.

I can beat him, brat. Are you looking down on me?

Old Heretic Huang...

I have a brilliant idea.

I figured out a way to break Old Heretic Huang's formation!

What are you doing, sir?

You can't do this. Please get up.

Since you think I'm not bad,

how about we become sworn brothers?

That wouldn't be appropriate.

You're the martial uncle of Master Ma Yu.

Everyone has their own titles!

You call him Master,

and you call me big brother.

Kneel down!

Today,

I must become your sworn brother.

Why do you want to be my brother?

First,

it's part of my clever plan to deal with Old Heretic Huang.

Don't ask for details, you'll know when the time comes.

Trust me, it will benefit you without any harm.

Second,

and most importantly,

I think highly of you.

You're honest and foolish.

Plus, you saved my life.

-It's nothing, sir. -If you think I'm good enough,

please become my sworn brother.

Since you think so highly of me,

well then,

I'll humbly accept your offer.

With the white eagle above

and the cockroach below,

all living beings bear witness,

Guo Jing and I will swear brotherhood to each other today.

We will share wealth and joy,

eat happily together,

fight happily together,

be happy together,

and be happy, happy, happy.

If anyone regrets it, may they be struck by lightning.

All right, be happy together.

Call me brother now.

-Brother! -Let's kowtow!

The ceremony is complete!

-Brother! -My good brother!

-I have a little brother now! -I have a big brother now!

You brat, my little brother.

Come on, let's drink water.

Little brother, is this what you used to save me?

No, this is just what I used to wrap my dagger.

Little brother,

where did you get this?

My second master gave it to me.

I think he took it from Mei Chao Feng.

Do you know

what's written on this?

What's written on it?

I never opened it before.

Even if I read it, I won't understand anyway.

This brat really have a fool's luck.

He doesn't even know this is the Nine Yin True Sutra.

Big brother, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Little brother, I like this thing.

Can you give it to me?

If you like it, you can take it.

I'll just get another one.

Thanks, little brother.

I like it.

Snakes!

I'm not afraid of anything, but I fear snakes crawling all over the place.

I've been on this island for 15 years and never seen a snake here.

Why are there so many snakes today?

Hit them! Hit them!

Hang on.

Rong'er said her father doesn't keep snakes.

Could it be...

Uncle.

Ke'er,

your Snake Formation can't break through his Island-Protecting Grand Formation.

Put it away now.

Don't be disrespectful.

Yes, Uncle.

Ouyang.

Yao,

it's been so long.

This is my nephew.

He was just being mischievous earlier, please forgive him.

Ke'er, why haven't you greeted him?

Ke'er, as the younger generation,

it's only right to show proper respect to your elder.

Bow again.

Uncle, I pay my respects to you.

I know your nephew.

Before,

he bullied my disciple

and attacked my daughter with a snake formation.

Quite the young hero.

They're just kids playing around.

Don't take it seriously.

I've been lax in disciplining him.

I'll punish him properly when we get home.

Please don't be offended.

Sorry for not welcoming you earlier.

-Welcome. -If Ouyang Ke is really here,

I wonder how Rong'er is doing now.

Don't worry about Ouyang Ke.

Even if Ouyang Feng showed up,

Eastern Heretic versus Western Venom would still be evenly matched.

Besides, where are we now?

We're on Peach Blossom Island, right?

You're right, big brother.

Forget about going to find Rong'er.

Going to see her would be a death wish.

Besides,

can you even get out of here?

Big brother, you keep saying that.

If I could get out, I would've done so already.

All right, let's put our heads together.

We can definitely break out of this formation, right?

If you're bored,

I can teach you some martial arts.

I've already learned your Vacant Fist and the Left and Right Hands Combat.

What else is there to learn?

I haven't taught you the most powerful technique I created.

You're just boasting, big brother.

Are you serious?

Are you really going to teach the Nine Yin True Sutra to this kid?

He brought the second volume,

proving he's destined to have it.

You're breaking your promise to Chong Yang.

You just want to read the Nine Yin True Sutra yourself.

You want to learn the moves on it, don't you?

Chong Yang only forbade me from practising the moves on the sutra,

but he didn't say others couldn't.

Letting this kid practice it

doesn't break my promise.

I need to

read it to teach him.

I'll just be reading it, what's the harm in that?

Big brother, what's on your mind?

Little brother,

this is my ultimate secret technique.

Since we've become sworn brothers,

I think I can teach it to you.

Want to learn it?

If you're teaching, I'm learning.

This is a technique

I created myself.

It's called the Imp Technique.

The Imp Technique

is the culmination of everything

I've learned in my life.

If you master it,

along with my Left and Right Hands Combat,

the 72 Styles Vacant Fist,

and the old beggar's 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms,

you'll be invincible

at the next Duel on Mount Hua.

I've never thought about becoming invincible.

You brat,

little brother,

if you become invincible,

Rong'er will be yours!

Rong'er...

Please, have a seat.

All right.

The swords dance when petals fall on Peach Blossom Island,

as the emerald sea tides rise, the Jade Flute plays.

The legends about this place are true.

This environment is much better than Mount White Camel.

The Western Region is vast.

If there's a chance,

you must show me around your White Camel Manor.

I'd love to, Yao.

I was wondering why there are so many poisonous snakes on our island.

Turns out it's because you're here, you little venomous evil.

Rong'er, don't be rude.

Hurry and greet Uncle Ouyang.

Greetings, Uncle Ouyang.

All right.

Father,

Ouyang Ke bullied me

several times when I was in Central Plains.

Is that true?

I came here specifically to apologize to Rong'er.

Who knows what you're really up to.

Rong'er.

No wonder Ke'er is so infatuated with her.

It's a good thing that Rong'er looks more like Miss Feng and not like you.

Rong'er,

this is a Tongxi Dilong Pill.

It comes from a rare beast in the Western Region

and has been carefully refined by my uncle.

With this, you'll be immune to all poisons.

There's only one in the whole world.

What are you trying to do?

I...

Uncle Huang, I'd like to

ask for Rong'er's hand in marriage.

With this, when you move to the Western Region,

you won't have to worry about poisonous snakes or insects anymore.

Uncle Ouyang,

there are no bugs or poisons on Peach Blossom Island,

so we don't need this treasure.

You will definitely need it.

Yao,

everyone knows I'm a master of poisons.

By giving this poison-repelling item to Rong'er,

it shows the sincerity of our proposal

and ensures your complete peace of mind.

Rong'er,

just accept it for now.

Thank you, Uncle Ouyang.

You're welcome.

Rong'er, accepting this gift

means you're willing to be friends with me.

Are you insane?

Father, you might as well kill me.

I'd rather die than be with this scoundrel.

You...

I'm going to tell Mother that you're mistreating me.

Rong'er...

I've spoiled her.

-I apologize for her rudeness. -It's all right.

Rong'er just wants to test Ke'er's abilities.

Feelings between young people develop over time.

Their little spats can actually bring them closer.

Well...

Ke'er is completely devoted to Rong'er.

Yao, if you agree to this marriage,

we'll become family,

we'll become even closer.

In the future, if you need anything,

I won't hesitate to help

I'll accept

this poison-warding treasure.

As for the marriage,

there's no rush.

You've finally come to visit my island.

We haven't seen each other for so many years.

You must stay for a few days.

Shall we

have a drink together?

Yes.

The way of Heaven

is to take from the excess and add to the deficient.

The way of Heaven

is to take from the excess and add to the deficient.

Thus, emptiness overcomes substance,

and deficiency overcomes excess.

Thus, emptiness overcomes substance,

and deficiency overcomes excess.

So, this is the Nine Yin True Sutra.

It's truly remarkable.

I understand that it's hard for you to accept

falling from such heights to where you are now.

We'll take our time to adjust to this new place.

I'll always be here with you.

I understand that.

It's just that my ambitions are sky-high,

but my fate is as fragile as paper.

Don't say that.

Let's go buy some seeds,

flowers and vegetables.

We'll make the old house and garden look beautiful again.

Stop! Where do you think you can run off to?

The Four Ghosts of Huanghe are chasing a beggar.

We've returned to Niu Village, but it's still the same.

There's no place in this world that's truly peaceful.

You filthy beggar! Run again if you dare!

The Beggars' Gang has helped me before. Qi Gong taught me martial arts.

-Let's see if you can run now. -I have to help him.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Get lost!

Don't let me see you again.

Let's go.

Thank you,

young heroes.

Qi Gong taught me some martial arts before.

Although he doesn't take disciples,

in my heart,

he has always been my mentor.

I've always been grateful to the Beggars' Gang.

Miss, you know Qi Gong?

That's great.

I was really worried that I'd fail to deliver the important information.

What important information?

Why are the Four Ghosts of Huanghe trying to kill you?

The... The Book of Wumu.

Do you

recognize the Beggars' Gang's marks?

Yes, Qi Gong taught me.

On the fifteenth of next month,

there will be a gathering in Yuezhou.

Deliver the news to the gang.

The book

is at

Cui Han Hall.

Kang, I need to go inform the Beggars' Gang right away.

-Please take care of him. -Maybe I should go.

I'm considered half a disciple of the Beggars' Gang.

It will be easier for me to handle this.

I'll go now.

-Be careful then. -All right.

You know what you want.

Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in this wretched place?

The Book of Wumu.

The Book of Wumu.

The Book of Wumu.

The Book of Wumu.

The Book of Wumu.

The Book of Wumu.

What are you waiting for?

Kill him.

Kill him!

Kill him.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Big brother,

your Imp Technique is truly impressive.

I've become much stronger these days.

Of course.

But you're still too young.

And the Nine...

I mean, your foundation is unstable,

and your internal strength isn't deep enough to fully utilize your potential.

So, you must practice my Imp Technique diligently every day.

Understood.

I'll practice hard.

Jing!

Rong'er!

Shame, shame, shame!

Rong'er, you finally came.

I've missed you so much these past few days.

Jing, my father has lost his mind.

Ouyang Feng came to propose.

He wants me to marry Ouyang Ke.

Ouyang Feng came to propose?

Old Venomous Creature really came.

No wonder there are so many snakes on the island.

This should be interesting.

Let's leave Peach Blossom Island.

Big brother,

-do you want to come with us? -No.

Why are you calling Old Imp 'big brother'?

Guo Jing and I have sworn brotherhood.

That makes you my sister-in-law.

Old Imp, you're really going all out this time.

I've got something even bigger planned.

A bigger surprise for your father.

What surprise?

I can't tell you right now.

Big brother,

-are you really not coming with us? -No.

Take her and go.

I still have unfinished business with Old Heretic Huang.

I always keep my promise.

How about this?

Once I settle things with him, I'll come find you.

All right then. Take care of yourself, big brother.

-Let's go. -Come on.

You brat, you're leaving just like that.

I clearly asked the mute servant to arrange a boat.

Why is there no boat?

Rong'er.

Looking for a boat?

You should've come to me.

I can take you away.

Ouyang Ke, what are you doing here?

I'm here to propose.

You're trying to elope with my fiancee.

Isn't that going too far?

Who are you calling your fiancee?

You always spout nonsense.

Jing, knock out one of his teeth for me.

You're asking for it!

Rong'er, stay back!

-Master! -Master!

-Master! -Master!

Qi, since we last met at Mount Hua,

you've aged quite a lot.

Old Venomous Creature,

you think you haven't aged?

So, is this your disciple?

Impressive skills.

Him?

His skills aren't great,

and he never knows how to hold back.

He's made your nephew cough up blood several times.

But after all those times,

I suppose your body must have gotten used to it by now.

Rong'er, what did you just call him?

Father, I didn't tell you earlier.

Jing and I have become disciples of Qi Gong.

You often say Qi Gong is highly skilled and virtuous,

so after hearing it so many times,

I thought you'd approve.

Yao.

Qi,

it's been many years.

I actually kept telling her

that she should learn from you

instead of me.

I took her as a disciple because,

one, we share an affinity,

and two, I wanted to trick her into cooking for me.

I didn't inform you in advance,

so I'm here to apologize.

No need for that.

Qi,

my daughter is mischievous.

Having you as her master is wonderful.

Ouyang,

the wind is strong by the sea.

Let's head onto the island.

Let's go.

(Swordplay Pavilion)

Yao,

I came here this time to ask you for a favour.

I wonder if you will agree to it.

We've been friends for decades.

Qi, whatever it is, I'll help you.

I haven't even said what it is yet.

What if it's something difficult?

For you

to personally cross the sea

and come to my little island,

it can't be an easy matter.

Qi is asking for a favour?

That's unheard of.

Now I'm curious to hear it.

What does it have to do with you? Why are you butting in?

Just get ready to attend a wedding.

A wedding?

At your age?

Yao,

both Rong'er and Jing'er are my disciples.

Anyone with eyes can tell

that these two have been a couple for a long time.

I'm here today to propose a marriage on their behalf.

-I hope you will agree. -Too bad, Qi.

Just a few days ago, I already made a proposal to Yao on behalf of Ke'er.

You're too late.

My father hasn't accepted it yet.

But he hasn't refused either.

That's not how it works.

Proposals aren't about who asks first.

Father, you're marrying me off, not selling me.

-Rong'er! -Yes, Rong'er,

you shouldn't talk to your father like that.

But Yao, she's also right.

This shouldn't be treated as a business deal.

So it's a business deal when I propose, but not when you do?

You...

Yao is a genuine man,

who has always scorned conventions and lived by his own rules.

I doubt such rules matter much to him.

Rules are meant to be broken.

Exactly. We're all people of genuine feelings.

These two young ones are deeply in love. No one can tear them apart.

-Moreover... -Moreover, Ouyang Ke

has a terrible character. He has insulted me multiple times.

If it weren't for Qi Gong saving me out of respect for you,

you wouldn't have seen me again.

Ke'er is skilled in

music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and he is charming.

Feelings need time to develop.

When you get married,

you won't be together for just a few days or hours,

but for years and decades.

How can she be happy with someone who is as dull as a log, who isn't good

with words and isn't romantic?

-Mr Ouyang... -Jing'er.

Ouyang,

Rong'er isn't particularly

well-read or well-mannered.

However,

she's fortunate enough to have both your nephew

and Qi's disciple vying for

her favour at the same time.

This indeed

puts me in a difficult position.

I don't see how it's difficult.

Just follow their wishes and let them get married.

That's where you're wrong, Old Beggar.

Such an important matter should be decided by Yao.

How can we just let them follow their whims?

You're one to talk.

Your little rascal has defiled countless women following his whims.

-Don't act like you don't know! -Watch your mouth!

Who in the martial world would talk nicely to you?

-Let's settle this with a fight! -Bring it on! I'm not scared of you!

-Ouyang... -Let's see who's stronger.

-Let's go! -I've been wanting

to teach you a lesson for a long time! Come on!
