(The Legend Of Heroes)

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

(Episode 17)

A few days ago,

I received a carrier pigeon message from Young Master Ouyang Ke.

I rushed over to help him.

Unfortunately, I still arrived too late.

I'm really sorry.

Ke'er told me about your great talents and ambitions, Your Highness,

but my only focus right now is finding a doctor to cure him.

I can't think of anything else.

As for the Book of Wumu you mentioned,

I'm afraid I can't assist you.

Mr. Ouyang, you are mistaken.

What I seek

is also what you seek.

Mr Ouyang,

are you familiar with the Book of Wumu?

Yue Fei was not only a brilliant military strategist

but also a master of martial arts.

The Yue's Fist that he passed down is exceptional in the martial world.

It's said

that the Book contains not only military strategies

but also martial arts techniques.

You are indeed knowledgeable.

The repeated invasions from the Song Empire and Mongols

have caused great suffering

for our Jin people.

If we could obtain the Book of Wumu,

not only could we defend ourselves

but also protect our people from slaughter by the Song and Mongols,

bringing peace to the land.

We have now found out

the exact whereabouts of the Book of Wumu.

If you join us,

success is certain,

I will personally request the emperor

to reward you.

When our Jin Empire unifies the land,

Mr Ouyang,

whether it's the Nine Yin True Sutra,

the title of the world's greatest martial artist,

or the best doctors in the land,

it will all be at your disposal without you having to lift a finger.

It is a great honor for Jin to have your help.

Master, why do you think Ouyang Feng saved us?

He wouldn't save me without a reason.

He definitely has an ulterior motive.

He's not that kind-hearted.

Jing,

since Ouyang Feng has allowed us to stay,

he will come find us soon.

Old Venomous Creature,

the way you're staring at me

is making me uncomfortable.

No wonder Ouyang Ke always has that leering look in his eyes.

Turns out that it's hereditary.

This is a look of respect for talent.

Qi,

my competitive nature

almost got you killed. I'm sorry.

But seeing how quickly you're recovering

puts my mind at ease.

Do you know why I'm recovering so quickly?

The Nine Yin True Sutra.

You guessed it right.

The Nine Yin True Sutra is truly marvelous.

Thanks to Jing'er teaching me its secrets,

I'm still here enjoying life.

Qi,

why don't you share some of that knowledge with me,

so Ke'er can recover just as quickly?

Didn't we already give you the Nine Yin True Sutra?

Why did you come looking for us?

The text Guo Jing gave me is so obscure

that I don't understand most of it.

Are you sure

you gave me the real Sutra?

What are you thinking? Of course it's real.

Qi,

explain it to me.

Guo Jing, you too,

recite it and explain it to me line by line.

Old Venomous Creature,

the Nine Yin True Sutra isn't something you can just recite

like a nursery rhyme.

There are plenty of martial artists on this ship.

Aren't you afraid they'll overhear

if you make Jing recite it?

You've worked so hard to get the Sutra,

you wouldn't want every child on the street

to be able to recite it, would you?

There's something I don't understand.

Qi,

if you and Guo Jing can learn the Sutra,

why can't Ke'er and I learn it too?

Why can't anyone else learn it?

I never said you can't learn it.

We gave you the Sutra, didn't we? Go ahead and practice it.

Explain it to me then!

Even if Jing recites it for you,

you won't understand it.

Why not?

A lot of it isn't in the Central Plains language.

Can you read it?

And you can?

Take this paragraph for example, "Mohe Poluo,

Jiedi Guluo,

Mohan Sigeer,

Jinqie Husi,

Geshan Nike."

These are in the Tocharian language.

Translated into our language,

it's the Nine Yin True Sutra's chapter

on internal energy and healing techniques.

If you can master this method,

it might save your nephew.

You understand Tocharian?

You're easily surprised.

Ten years ago,

a Tocharian merchant passed through Peach Blossom Island

and sold my father many rare items.

My father kept him on the island

for half a year,

during which time he taught my father Tocharian.

I listened in

and picked up a bit myself.

Yao is very wise indeed.

So, if you want the rest of the strange text translated,

you could ask my father.

No need for that.

Young lady, why don't you translate it for me?

I could,

but we're staying on someone else's boat.

I'm worried they might harm us.

How about this, Old Venomous Creature,

you will take care of us.

You will bring us all our meals.

One meal for one page of the manual.

How's that?

That sounds great.

Enjoy your meal.

I'll go prepare another meal.

Thank you, Old Venomous Creature

The dish is a little salty.

Less salt next time then.

Rong'er,

you even know Tocharian?

I don't.

I was just fooling him.

But you can't fool him forever.

By the sound of it, whoever's coming isn't friendly.

Could it be that Ouyang Feng figured out Rong'er was lying

and is coming to kill us?

That's possible.

Let's get out of here.

Get into the boat

and row north for two days, and you'll reach the shore.

Aren't you coming with us?

Don't worry about me. You need to go now.

All right.

Take care.

Thank you.

Leaving without saying goodbye?

How rude of you as guests.

Fire!

-Careful, Father! -You are all so useless!

-You are no fun at all! -Big brother!

Little brother,

I've been so unhappy without you.

So unhappy, so unhappy!

-What are you doing here? -I was looking for you!

Thanks to my senior brother's blessing,

I finally found you. I found you, I found you!

-This is great. -Old Imp,

where have you been all this time?

I've been on the sea the whole time, never left.

And I couldn't leave.

Look what that is.

You found my boat!

Your boat brought me good luck and saved me.

Otherwise, I would have dried up into a fish jerky

All right, enough talking.

We're in the middle of a fight.

Right, fighting.

How could you have a fight without me? Come on, come on.

Who wants to fight me first?

Who's this old man?

If you have any skills, show us.

Old man?

Bald head, concave, concave!

Bald head, concave, concave!

Who else?

Who's next?

Your Highness,

he's just one old man. We outnumber him.

Why should we be afraid of him?

He's the Old Imp of the Quanzhen Sect,

Zhou Bo Tong,

the junior of Wang Chong Yang.

You four would just embarrass yourselves.

Old Venomous Creature, why are you everywhere?

We all seek peace.

There's no need for a fight to the death.

No, it's you who will die, and we will live.

Since you're here,

let's have a fight.

You want to fight me?

If this boat sinks, neither of us can escape.

Isn't that perfect?

We can all have fun together right here.

-Come on. -If you insist on a duel,

let's meet at Mount Hua next year.

Today,

His Highness will let you go.

Leave now and don't cause any more trouble.

Your Highness, we're just going to let them go?

We'll do as Mr Ouyang says.

Done talking? Let's fight!

Enough, let's go.

We're leaving.

-What do you mean? -Trust me.

I'll show you something fun.

What's fun?

Don't talk, just follow me.

This will be fun.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Master hasn't recovered yet.

We'll find another opportunity.

All right.

Shark, I'm right here!

Come on!

Come on!

Come!

Let's go, let's look for sharks.

Jing,

I know what you're thinking.

You're probably wondering

if Yang Kang has his reasons

for being with Wanyan Honglie.

Are you worried that Nian Ci might get into trouble

with Wanyan Honglie for helping us?

Rong'er,

you really can read my mind.

I don't believe Yang Kang has any good reasons,

but I do believe he loves Nian Ci.

As long as he remains as a prince,

Nian Ci will be safe.

Jing,

you must be tired.

Get some rest.

All right.

Rong'er.

Yes, Master?

Master?

Do you remember what I instructed you to do?

Yes.

Before the 15th of the seventh month,

take the Dog Beating Staff

to Yuezhou and take over as the chief of Beggars' Gang.

But, Master,

that day on the deserted island, the situation was dire,

and I had no choice but to accept the responsibility.

Now that everyone is safe,

I don't think I can take on this role.

I hope you can continue to lead Beggars' Gang.

Child,

do you really think

I passed the leadership to you just because the situation was dire

and I was on the brink of death?

Have you ever considered

that I could have asked you to take the Dog Beating Staff out

and pass it to any of the elders in the gang?

Rong'er,

Rong'er,

you are the smartest,

yet most unselfish person I have ever met.

You remain calm in the face of danger,

a sign of great wisdom.

No matter if I survive or not,

in any situation,

I would still want to pass the leadership to you.

Besides,

this position has been officially passed to you in front of our founder.

I can't take it back.

So, here's what I think,

this is what you can do.

You will hold the position for now.

If you truly find it unbearable,

you can pass it on to someone else.

After all, what happens after

is out of my hands.

What do you say, Chief Huang?

Master,

I... -Good.

Get up.

I'll lead you from now on.

You mischievous old man,

give me back the Dog Beating Staff!

We've reached the shore!

I'm finally back!

Even though those little thieves caused trouble this time,

having you here, Mr Ouyang,

puts my mind at ease.

Your Highness, if I may speak frankly,

I thought Mr Ouyang would teach those thieves a lesson,

but he didn't even dare to yell at them.

It seems he fears that Old Imp too.

You talk too much.

Seems like you haven't been beaten by Zhou Bo Tong enough.

That's enough.

All of you are heroes and esteemed guests of our Jin Empire.

Let's maintain peace and harmony.

Mr Ouyang,

I have a small request today.

I hope you can agree to it.

What's your request, Your Highness?

Kang, come and kneel down now.

Mr Ouyang, I've admired you for a long time.

I wish to become your disciple and learn martial arts from you.

My son has practiced martial arts since childhood,

but he has never had a great master.

If you would be so kind as to accept him and teach him,

we would be deeply grateful.

White Camel Manor has a rule of passing on

our teachings to only one disciple per generation.

I've already passed them to Ke'er,

so I can't accept you as a disciple.

Stop right there!

Who are you? Guards!

Who's out there?

Yao?

Ouyang?

What brings you here?

I'm looking for my daughter.

Your daughter?

Haven't you seen her?

I haven't seen her either.

Have any of you seen her?

Who is this?

This is my good friend,

Mr Huang from the Peach Blossom Island.

So you are the famous Huang Yao Shi, Master of Peach Blossom Island.

Meeting you here today is a great honor.

I'm going to find my daughter.

Excuse me.

Please wait.

Mr Huang,

are you looking for a teenage girl?

Have you seen her?

Three days ago,

I saw a floating corpse on the sea.

She was wearing white clothes

with a gold ring in her hair.

She had a pretty face,

but unfortunately...

Unfortunately what?

Unfortunately, the seawater had swollen her body.

There were three other dead people near her,

a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes,

an old beggar

with a large red gourd on his waist,

and an old man with long hair and a long beard.

Didn't you say you hadn't seen her?

Yao,

you've misunderstood me.

I just boarded the ship, I know as much as you do.

That must have been Guo Jing, Qi, and Bo Tong.

Life and death are a part of nature.

Please accept my condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss, Yao!

And he's a monk.

Time to eat!

-Give it to me! -Master first.

No, your big brother first.

Old Imp, don't worry. There's more grilled fish here.

Rong'er, you're grilling too slowly. I'm starving.

Master, enjoy your food. There's plenty more.

Master,

have you gotten tired of my Beggar's Chicken?

Not at all.

How could I get tired of your cooking?

It's just that

it reminded me of something.

Rong'er,

do you know the dish Mandarin Duck With Five Delicacies?

I know of this famous dish,

but I've never tasted it.

It's typically served by royal chefs during meetings

between important diplomatic envoys.

That's right!

That's easy.

Just find a royal chef,

kidnap him,

and have him make it for us.

You don't understand.

You think I haven't tried that?

Without the palace's special pots, stoves,

equipment, and ingredients,

it just doesn't taste the same.

It's awful.

Is it really that special?

When I was young,

I hid in the palace for three months

just to taste that dish.

But the emperor didn't receive any guests during that time,

so I waited for nothing.

It's my biggest regret in life.

If I could taste it just once,

my life would be complete.

Aren't the Mongols and the Song forming an alliance soon?

When important envoys meet,

might they serve this dish?

Jing, you're getting smarter.

Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We could go to Lin'an and sneak into the palace to try that delicious dish.

You're right.

-Let's go now! -All right!

-All right! -Big brother?

Where is big brother?

Big brother?

Where is my Dog Beating Staff?

Rong'er, what a coincidence!

Old Imp,

did you forget something?

No, I always come and go empty-handed.

I never forget anything. Thanks for the reminder.

I meant,

did you forget to return something to me?

Rong'er,

don't falsely accuse me.

When did I ever take something of yours?

Do I need to search you?

Go ahead, search me!

When did I ever take something of yours?

The Dog Beating Staff?

When did you put it on me?

I didn't even notice.

Take it back.

I haven't been to Mount Zhongnan for 15 years.

I want to go home and take a look.

You're leaving just like that?

You have the Dog Beating Staff now. What else do you want from me?

-I still have scores to settle with you. -Let's settle them then.

Did you frame Jing,

causing us to be separated?

Yes,

but it's not entirely my fault.

Not your fault?

Let's continue.

Did you insist on boarding my father's boat,

causing Master and Jing to end up in a shipwreck with you?

They wanted to board the boat.

You can't put all the blame on me.

Who else should I blame?

You've put us in danger time and again.

Also,

did you take away my Dog Beating Staff?

Luckily, I got it back in time.

I was just borrowing it to play with.

It's back in your hands, isn't it?

-I'm leaving. -Go ahead.

I'll spread the word in the martial world

that Zhou Bo Tong of the Quanzhen Sect is just a rogue.

Let's see who will still respect you then.

Rong'er, I'm not a rogue.

Don't tarnish my reputation in the martial world.

You got the Dog Beating Staff back. What more do you want from me?

Master isn't fully recovered.

If you agree to go with us to the palace,

protect us,

and help us taste the Mandarin Duck With Five Delicacies,

then we'll call it even. How about that?

No way.

No way!

I've had such a hard life.

I was trapped on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years.

I finally escaped from Old Heretic Huang,

and now I'm falling into the hands of Young Heretic Huang?

No way! I won't go!

I'd rather die than go.

No matter what you say, I won't, I won't!

Fine, I'll go with you.

Just don't ruin my name in the martial world.

It's a deal.

(Niu Village)

Old Beggar, I'll go find you some good food.

Master, it's getting late.

I don't think we can make it to Lin'an City today.

The scenery here is beautiful.

Why don't we stay in this village for the night?

Sounds good.

(Niu Village)

Jing.

What's wrong?

Rong'er,

this is Niu Village, the place my mother always talked about.

Jing, do you remember where your house was?

We could go in and look for it.

My mother only mentioned it briefly.

I don't think we will be able to

find my parents' old home.

Then let's bring your mother here.

We'll fix up the old house.

Living here could be quite peaceful and pleasant.

All right.

He said there's a tavern inside. Let's go check it out.

Let's go in and see if there's anything fun or tasty. Come on!

Old Beggar, come on!

-Coming! -Hurry up!

Let's go.

Father,

what are Grandmaster's orders?

Rong

is dead.

Who killed her?

She drowned herself

for Guo Jing.

Her body was lost at sea.

Master believes

that the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are to blame for this.

He has ordered Guiyun Manor to issue a kill-on-sight decree

against them and their disciples.

If we place such an unfounded blame

on the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan,

I'm afraid

our reputation in the martial world

will be completely destroyed.

I know.

Given Master's temper,

he must've made this decision in a fit of anger.

If we really carry it out,

he will

surely regret it later.

Father, what should we do then?

You must quickly find the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan

and tell them everything.

First, offer them condolences.

Second,

advise them to lay low

in the desert

until the master's anger subsides. Then, they can return.

Is anyone here?

Why is there no one around?

There's no one here.

Bo Tong,

is this the place you found?

Yes.

This place is so eerie

and deserted.

Could there be ghosts?

Let's find another place to stay.

It's late. Where else can we go to? Let's just stay here.

If there's a female ghost hiding inside,

don't blame me.

You're the martial uncle of the Taoists from Mount Zhongnan.

Shouldn't female ghosts be afraid of you?

My senior brother only taught me martial arts,

not how to draw talismans to ward off ghosts.

Besides, female ghosts feed on men's vital energy.

You'll understand when you become one.

Big brother, Rong'er would never become a female ghost.

-You don't know that. -That's right.

-I'm the fairy of Peach Blossom Island. -You scared me!

-Knock it off. -I'm a fairy.

This is just an empty tavern.

You scared me!

Wait up!

Big brother,

Master,

we'll have to make do here for the night.

When you're traveling the martial world,

you can sleep anywhere.

This place has intact walls and a roof that doesn't leak.

We should be grateful.

-I'll find a spot to sleep. -All right, Master.

Old Beggar, you can sleep here?

There are eyes watching us.

It must be a female ghost. We can't stay here. We can't.

Old Imp, if you don't stop talking nonsense,

I'll let the female ghost drain your vital energy.

Rong, you have to believe me, there really is a female ghost.

A female ghost!

Where? I don't see any.

Right over there.

A female ghost!

Big brother, we've been traveling all day.

We're exhausted. Please, can we stop this now?

I'm not staying here.

If a female ghost steals my soul,

I won't be able to practice martial arts anymore.

I'm leaving. Jing, Rong'er, I'm leaving.

The door closed by itself. I told you...

She's going to steal my soul!

She's human.

You're pretending to be a ghost.

Who are you? You actually know Peach Blossom Island's Bibo Palm?

You won't talk?

I'll show you the authentic Bibo Palm of Peach Blossom Island!

Ouch!

My butt...

I just fell hard.

So you're just a silly girl.

(Silly Aunt)

Stop pretending to be crazy.

Tell me, who taught you martial arts?

If you don't tell me, I'll kill you.

Who taught you martial arts?

If you don't tell me, I'll kill you.

I'll really kill you.

If you kill me,

I'll kill you!

You really are a silly girl.

How do you know that?

I am a silly girl.

Rong'er,

I've looked around.

This isolated inn is a standalone building

with open surroundings.

-There's no place for anyone to hide. -There's no place for anyone to hide.

I'm not silly.

I know you're bad people here to steal things.

Silly Aunt, how about we play a game?

A game? All right.

Later, I'll blow out the light.

Each of us will find a place to hide.

The one who stays hidden the longest wins.

The winner

gets a big bowl of noodles.

How does that sound?

-Yes. -Yes! That's great!

I'm the best at playing hide-and-seek.

Big brother, stop fooling around.

I love this game.

I'm the one who's best at it.

Then let's see

who's really the best.

Little brother, don't worry, I'll win.

Big brother, don't move.

What's the matter?

Tell me.

-Shush. -What are you doing?

Just stay here.

Just stay here and wait for me.

Rong'er.

-She went inside. -What are you doing here?

Old Imp, go and stay with my master.

Jing and I will check things out.

No way, I'm going with you. Let's go.

Aren't you afraid there might be a female ghost inside?

If she catches you,

you won't be able to practice martial arts anymore.

You should go without me.

I'll stay with Old Beggar.

Come on.

Watch your step.

Silly Aunt?

Silly Aunt?

Silly Aunt?

Miss?

Silly Aunt, there you are.

You peeked.

This doesn't count.

Let's hide again.

Rong'er.

Look.

Why are there so many skeletons here?

Miss, do you know who these people are?

How did you find me again?

Who are these people?

Who are they?

She's retarded. Asking her won't help.

These look like the uniforms of Song soldiers.

Silly Aunt, we're here to steal things.

You can't steal. No stealing.

What can't we steal?

There are many things here.

No stealing, no stealing.

You can't go in.

There are many treasures.

You can't steal them.

You can't.

Careful.

Look,

this was a high-ranking official.

Isn't this the Iron Eight Trigrams

of Lord Lu from Guiyun Manor?

This is an Iron Eight Trigrams,

but it might not belong to Lord Lu.

His leg bones were fractured.

This is my senior brother,

Qu Ling Feng.

Qu Ling Feng?

Cheng Feng said that Ling Feng was still alive,

but he had actually died here.

But why would he die

alongside a Song soldier?

If your senior brother was hiding in Niu Village,

why would he collect so many rare treasures?

My father once said

that out of his six disciples,

Ling Feng was the most skilled in martial arts

and the one he favored the most.

Most of these treasures are my father's favorites.

He probably intended to return to Peach Blossom Island one day

and use these to win my father's favor.

However, he must have caught the attention of this corrupt official.

Come on.

All right.

Miss,

is your surname Qu?

You're so dumb.

Silly Aunt's surname is Silly of course!

Do you recognize this?

Silly Aunt?

I don't know this.

I don't know this.

I don't know this.

I don't know this.
