(The Legend of Heroes)

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

(Episode 18)

Master, Jing and I will go and buy some ingredients.

Have a rest here.

We'll be right back.

Where are you two off to to have fun?

Old Imp, you stay and look after my master for me.

Old Beggar is more than capable.

He can look after himself.

I want to go out with you.

We're off to buy ingredients.

And so will I.

How about this?

I'll bring you back something good.

What is it?

You'll find out later.

Just tell me. What kind of goodies?

Just take him with you.

I'm just immobilised.

If you leave him here, I'll probably be annoyed to death.

No, Master.

It's better to have someone stay with you.

I'll do it. I want goodies.

Sure. Jing, let us go.

I'll bring you goodies when I come back.

Take care of Master.

Boss, how much is this?

That's two cents.

The bigger one is three cents.

And these are five cents.

Rong'er.

I asked around.

The place to buy ingredients is some ways from here.

We should hurry and go.

What's the rush?

Don't be spooky.

Check this one out.

This has a beard. It looks nice.

Yeah, a beard.

Rong'er.

I know it's fun and all, but...

Are we going to the palace like this?

You're silly. Of course not.

I plan to get this for Old Imp.

-I see. -Try this one.

Okay.

It really suits you, Jing.

Brother Huang.

It's Nian Ci.

Nian Ci?

That must mean Wanyan Honglie is also in Lin'an City.

Do you think something big is going to happen?

Jing.

Come on. We should quietly follow her.

Who knows we might be able to locate where Wanyan Honglie is?

Boss, I'm buying all of these. I'll come back for them later.

Alright. I'll wrap them up for you.

See you.

Sanyuan Restaurant.

Please step inside. There are seats on the second floor.

Let's go.

Are you looking for a place to eat?

Waiter, I'd like a private room.

Sure thing.

Please come in.

Let's go.

Our kingdom is troubled by the Mongolian army.

If we can get our hands on the Book of Wumu,

we'll surely be able to push Genghis Khan back.

After a storm comes a calm.

We will have our golden era.

Under your intelligence and strength,

the day of triumph is imminent, Father.

Tonight,

I'm hoping Mr Ouyang would lend a hand

to obtain the Book of Wumu from the palace.

When the situation stabilises,

you should be known as the great contributor

to the prosperity of the world.

Then, whatever it is that you wish,

I'm more than happy to oblige.

You flatter me, Your Highness.

I lost my staff when I fell into the sea.

A new one will be ready in a few days.

You can rest assured that I will do my best then.

Take a look, sir.

This is where the Book of Wumu is stored.

Stop right there!

-Where are you off to? -Bo Tong.

This road belongs to me.

You have to pay to pass.

Give me the money. Come on.

Old Imp, if you keep fooling around,

I'm going to confiscate the masks.

Okay, I'll stop. Don't take my mask.

I won't take it back on one condition.

When you go in,

you promise to protect Master.

If you come across that villain, Ouyang Feng,

trip him up using the Sutra.

Your senior won't be angry at you.

The Sutra? I can't use the Sutra.

-No, no. -You won't do it, huh?

All right.

Next time, you won't get any more

of these goodies.

If I'm using it to deal with Old Venomous Creature,

my senior won't blame me.

I'll look after you, yes, I will.

Master, head to the imperial kitchen.

Jing and I will look for Wanyan Honglie.

We mustn't let them get their hands on the Book of Wumu.

I'll be sure to eat Mandarin Duck With Five Delicacies

before Wanyan Honglie gets the job done.

Bo Tong, come.

Let's go.

Rong'er, the palace is huge.

The Emperor really knows how to bask in luxury.

Then would you want to be the Emperor?

No, thanks.

I'll be stuck within these walls.

I prefer the freedom of the outside world.

Wanyan Honglie said the Book of Wumu

is hidden ten feet north of Cuihan Bridge.

But there's only a fake hill.

Why would they hide a book in the hill's waterfall?

Perhaps there's more than meets the eye.

That's easy enough.

We'll know once I take a look.

Okay.

-Rong'er! -Yes, Jing?

There's an opening behind the waterfall!

Rong'er.

Looks like Wanyan Honglie's information is true.

This place is very well-hidden.

I bet there's treasure.

Let's go in and take a look.

Wait.

If that villain, Wanyan Honglie shows up,

we'll be caught in the middle.

Then we'll wait here.

We won't let them take the Book of Wumu.

The main goal is to prevent Wanyan Honglie from getting the Book.

So you wait here.

I'll go and tip off the imperial guards.

This way, we'll catch the turtle in the jar.

According to the document,

the Book is hidden behind this waterfall.

Your Highness, I'll go and have a look first.

-Someone's inside. -Who?

I was kicked out before I could see more clearly.

The Book of Wumu

must be in the cave.

I'm leaving the task to you all.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

I'll go.

Your Highness, I saw him.

It's Guo Jing!

Guo Jing?

I'll suck him dry today!

Freak.

-Let's go. -Right.

-What happened? -I'm so pissed off.

I'm so pissed off!

The four of us will go together.

-Let's go! -Go!

I'd have to trouble Mr Ouyang to take action.

Please take action, Mr Ouyang.

How has your training been going,

Guo Jing?

You people won't get the Book of Wumu.

Mr Ouyang.

Yang Kang,

our parents were killed by the Jins.

Are you really helping the Jin get the book

and then harm millions of our Song countrymen?

You go and get the Book.

He won't get in your way.

I'm counting on you, Mr Ouyang.

Stop!

(The Nine Yin True Sutra is formidable indeed.)

(He's gotten much stronger in such a short time.)

I've been going easy on you

because of the Sutra.

You won't be able to beat me.

Leave.

You can leave.

I'll still fight you even if I can't beat you.

Okay.

Young people should be taught a lesson.

Come on.

Assassin! Move!

Quickly! An assassin!

Your Highness, the imperial guards have been alerted.

We should get out of here.

Your Highness, Mr Ouyang is in there.

The prince will be safe.

-Yes. -That's right.

We should go.

All bells and whistles.

Break!

I told you.

I won't let you people take

the Book of Wumu.

Father!

Kang'er.

Father.

I brought you the Book of Wumu.

My good boy.

With this Book,

it won't be long before we bring peace to the world.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

I'm indebted to everyone for your assistance today.

I especially have to thank Mr Ouyang.

Save your words of gratitude for another day, Your Highness.

If we don't leave now,

there might not be another chance.

Mr Ouyang is right.

Let's leave the palace and plan our next move.

Okay. Let us go.

(Are you really going to hand the Book of Wumu)

(to Guo Jing if you find it?)

Yes.

I, Yang Kang, swear before the heavens.

If I ever let you down,

I will die a sudden death.

Jing.

Jing.

Jing!

Jing.

(Yang Kang)

Jing.

-Rong'er. -I'm here.

Rong'er.

They stole

the Book of Wumu.

Don't worry.

The heavens won't let the villain get his way.

Don't cry, Rong'er.

Don't cry.

Are you crying because you're afraid of losing me?

Nonsense.

If you dare to die before me,

I'll become a ghost and make you pay.

Don't worry.

Without your permission,

I wouldn't dare to die.

We will find a way.

Really?

There is a method to treat wounds in the Nine Yin True Sutra.

But...

I'll need to trouble you

for seven days and seven nights.

What's seven days and seven nights?

Be it 70 years, 700 years,

I will also do it.

(We'll follow the Sutra's instructions.)

(Hold out our palms and place on the other's)

(to regulate the Qi.)

(During the regulation period of seven days and nights,)

(our palms cannot be separated.)

(Our breaths will be connected.)

(If anyone interrupts us,)

(it will easily damage our pulse.)

(At worst, our souls might detach from our bodies,)

(meaning death.)

I prepared a few extra days worth of watermelons.

If things don't go according to plan,

we'll have a backup plan.

Rong'er.

You're always thinking one step ahead.

Watermelons!

You're putting the watermelons away.

Are you trying to eat them in secret?

-Are you? -Silly Aunt.

Quiet down.

You quiet down.

Silly Aunt.

Bad people are coming to steal the watermelons.

No matter who it is, you must not tell them anything.

Also, when you're out there,

you must not call out to me.

Understand?

Is it because we're playing hide-and-seek?

Okay, okay.

I won't say.

You keep quiet and I'll give you watermelons.

Nian Ci.

Nian Ci?

Waiter.

Where is the lady from this room?

The lady has checked out and left.

How long ago?

About an hour or so.

Anyone here?

Shopkeeper?

Shopkeeper!

-It's them. -No one's here.

Stop shouting.

Why would there be anyone in this dilapidated place?

Your Highness is from Jin,

yet you knew about this remote mountain village.

Nothing is impossible for a capable person.

It's because I came here

19 years ago.

We have Mr Ouyang to thank for today.

We're outside of Lin'an's walls.

I doubt the Song soldiers would continue the pursuit.

Why don't Your Highness open the Book of Wumu

and let everyone have a look?

I was able to obtain this treasured book

thanks to everyone's help.

Naturally, we should gaze upon it together.

Yes, Your Highness.

Let us see this great book for ourselves.

Did you take the wrong box?

Why is it empty?

Kang'er has always been careful.

He shouldn't have made such a blunder.

Could there be

a secret compartment within this box?

I spent the whole night figuring out the mechanism.

But it was all for nothing.

Don't fret, Your Highness.

We can go back to the palace tonight.

After the commotion we had caused last night,

they must have

beefed up security in the palace.

I will go to the palace and make a scene.

The rest of you, go with me.

His Highness and Ke'er will stay behind.

I'd have to trouble you to make another trip.

I shall wait here for your good news.

So they had caused a huge commotion last night,

but ended up with nothing.

My guess is

that the Book of Wumu isn't in the palace at all.

But they're going back there again tonight.

They're dead set on turning the palace upside down.

Master and Zhou

are still in the imperial kitchen.

I'm really worried.

They might catch them in the act.

Old Imp is looking after Master.

As it is, I'd be surprised if they didn't bully others,

let alone the two of them getting bullied.

I really worry that Zhou

would get into trouble.

I've kept you company for one whole day.

You're either eating or sleeping.

You didn't play with me at all.

This is too boring! Too boring!

Too boring!

If you must blame someone, blame Ouyang Feng.

After the scene he caused,

if they were planning to make the Mandarin Duck dish,

they surely wouldn't cook it now.

What's so nice about Mandarin Duck With Five Delicacies?

Are we not leaving just because you haven't eaten it?

Back then, Master and I

hid up there for three months.

I don't suppose we have to wait three months to eat it this time?

What do you mean?

Are you suggesting

that I have to stay here with you for three months

to eat Mandarin Duck With Five Delicacies?

No way! I won't even stay three days!

You endured 15 years on Peach Blossom Island.

What's three months?

What important matters do you have anyway?

Play.

Think of all the fun things I'd miss out in three months.

Peng.

Did you make a mistake?

I don't think we came through

the imperial kitchen last night.

Just follow me.

Come on.

Quick, close the doors.

Let's go.

Those ominous geezers.

What great luck.

I was just about to be bored out of my mind.

I can play with them.

If you do anything that'd stop me eating the duck,

I'm telling you now we'll never leave.

I know, I won't fight.

Only play.

Hear me out, guys.

Let's see if my analysis makes any sense.

Mr Ouyang asked us to split up to look for the Book of Wumu.

If he manages to find the Book,

he'll get all the credit.

Haven't you heard of that saying?

It goes,

when a snipe and a clam are locked in a fight,

it is the fisherman who will reap the benefit.

What does that mean?

Right.

Let him search for it.

That'll help clear the obstacles for us.

We won't have to lift a finger.

When the time comes,

we'll use our saved energy on what's most important.

The Book of Wumu

will be ours without a fight.

Smart.

Very smart.

-Let's go. -Go.

Who's there?

-What nonsense are you saying? -But...

I don't see anybody.

Ghost!

What happened? Why did you faint?

Master!

Please spare me.

I have a 70-year-old son

and a 3-year-old mother.

Please let me go!

(Xi Ruo.)

(You really hold grudges.)

(You've been gone so long,)

(and yet you've never once come into my dreams.)

(You cherished every little thing in this world.)

(But you steeled your heart towards me.)

Focus, Jing.

You must not disrupt the flow of Qi.

That crook, Wanyan Honglie is by himself.

He's right there before me.

I can go and kill him right now to avenge my parents.

Jing, keep calm.

Once you're recovered,

we'll be able to find him no matter where he runs off to.

Let go of me, Rong'er.

Calm down, Jing!

Jing!

Rong'er.

I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

Don't get distracted.

Let's continue regulating our Qi.

I told you ghosts exist.

Nobody believed me.

-Your Highness. -What's happened?

Did you find the Book of Wumu?

We were unlucky.

We were bothered by ghosts in the palace.

It was because you were weak.

Stop babbling nonsense before His Highness.

Did you think it's not embarrassing enough?

I saw it with my own eyes.

(I saw a judge with blue eyes)

(and vermilion beard.)

It looked just like the statue in temples.

You're telling me it's not a ghost?

It wasn't just one evil ghost.

I saw the red-faced Wang Lingguan.

The one I saw

was a spirit with a white face and long tongue.

It even drew a talisman on my head.

What if it's a mark?

What if he comes back in the dead of night to claim my life?

As for me, I met a smiling ghost.

It tried to ambush me.

But when I hollered at it, it ran off in a hurry.

It wasn't much of a threat.

Look at that black eye.

Is there something on my eye?

You always talk big.

That's enough!

What about Mr Ouyang?

Maybe he was taken away by the evil ghosts.

Yeah, that's right.

Evil ghosts?

Yes.

Any delay means a change in the plan.

I don't care if it's humans or ghosts in the palace,

we have to find the Book of Wumu as soon as possible.

Your Highness, what is your plan?

You lot, stay here and keep watch.

Protect Young Master Ouyang.

Support Mr Ouyang and Kang'er.

I'm going to the Iron Palm Gang

to ask their chief for assistance.

Our internal Qi

has been circulating seven rounds within the Microcosmic Orbit.

A day has passed.

How are you feeling, Jing?

Much better.

That was a close call yesterday.

If you hadn't stopped me,

I probably couldn't have remained calm and ruined the plan.

There's another six full days.

Promise me that you'll do as I say.

Since when have I not done so?

Let me think.

Zhen E, don't you think this bowl is odd?

Could it be so old

that it became stuck to the shelf?

This must be a mechanism.

Hou.

Try and turn the bowl left and right.

What should we do, Rong'er?

So there's a hidden space

in this dilapidated shop.

Zhen E.

Something seemed off with this abandoned shop.

Now we know it's hiding something.

It could be a cursed shop.

Maybe we...

Maybe we shouldn't go in.

The shop owner made such a secretive space.

Perhaps,

there is treasure hidden inside.

We're in broad daylight.

Let's just go in.

Even if there were evil spirits,

they wouldn't dare do anything.

Follow me.

-Who's there? -Who is it?

G... Ghost...

The spirits from the palace are haunting this place.

We've angered them.

Who dares play tricks on us?

Come out and fight!

Run! Hurry!

Quickly!

Run!

Ghosts!

Thank goodness for your ideas, Rong'er.

That should keep them away for now.

Thankfully Old Imp had tricked them yesterday.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been frightened so easily.

Is anyone there?

Anyone here?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone there?

Are you the owner of this house?

I'm just passing by.

Sorry for my mistake.

It's nothing.

No need to apologise, Mister.

Can I ask you about a person, Miss?

Do you happen to know a man with the surname Guo?

An official named is Guo Jing.

Are you looking for him too?

"Too"?

I am a Purity Priestess from Quanzhen Sect,

Sun Bu Er's disciple, Chen Yao Jia.

I'm under my master's orders

to look for my senior, Guo Jing,

in order to pass an urgent message.

I am the young master of Guiyun Manor from Lake Tai, Lu Guan Ying.

I've come here

under my father's orders to locate Senior Guo Jing,

also for an urgent matter.

Could we be talking about the same thing?

Why don't we write down what we came for?

Alright.

Those two are so weird.

Why can't they just say it out loud?

Getting people all anxious.

Perhaps it's something important.

that cannot be relayed verbally.

What could be so important

that made Quanzhen Sect

and Guiyun Manor come look for you so urgently?

If even you don't have a clue,

then it's certainly beyond me.

So we did come for the same thing.

If that's the case,

we should locate Senior Guo as quickly as we can.

Okay.

I am a lama, not a Taoist priest who catches demons.

Who are you?

Why are you here?

Hello, gentlemen.

We only came here to rest and find some water.

We didn't know this was your property.

We apologize for the intrusion.

Alright, forget it. Leave now.

We have things to do.

-Let's go. -Hang on.

We only just stepped away,

and you two showed up.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

I see.

Did the evil spirits manifest into this man and woman

to trick Master Hou?

What evil spirits?

Looks to me like they're up to no good.

Speak!

Who are you evil creatures?

We have no idea what you're talking about.

No idea?

After a good beating, I'm sure you'll remember.

Miss, get out of here!

Miss.

Come at me if you want to fight.

Not so fast.

You people have the nerve to bully a lady.

Come at me!

We'll capture both the male and female ghosts.

Let me go!

Kid.

You wish to be the hero?

First, you should know your own limits.

Miss.

So long as you be good, I will let you go.

If you can't make us happy,

then I'll have to make both of you unhappy.

My master is Priestess Sun of Quanzhen Sect.

She will be here soon.

If you dare hurt us,

my master will...

Will...

Will... Will what?

What will she do?

No bullying others.

People who bully others are bad people.

Hou Tong Hai.

Some luck you have.

Seems like you disturbed the female ghosts' den.

You're bad.

What female ghosts' den?

What sort of ghosts and spirits are there?

Show yourselves!

Stop right there, you!

I said, stop!

Stop!

Big bully.

You were really going to hit her?

Shangren.

I didn't hear you say a word in there.

Now you try to stop me?

Could it be that you're going to start eating meat

and become a secular monk?

Shut up with your nonsense!

Who is your master?

Who is your master?

Shut up with your nonsense.

Is your master Huang Yao Shi?

Who is Huang Yao Shi?

Are you saying this crazy girl is Huang Yao Shi's disciple?

Didn't you see how she fought with the kid in there?

She used martial arts from Peach Blossom Island.

Even if she wasn't his disciple,

they must be connected somehow.

Huang Yao Shi is known to be strange.

If those two told him about what happened,

will we get into trouble?

Why are you so afraid?

Didn't you know

that after Huang Yao Shi learned about his daughter's death,

he basically lost his mind?

I'd think he most likely died from heartbreak.

If he really shows up,

us brothers will take him on together.

We'll beat the great Huang Yao Shi into a pathetic Yao Shi.

Yes.

I remember how Huang Yao Shi had ridiculed me again and again.

Today, I'll make his disciple pay for what he did.

Come with me.

Don't pull Silly Aunt.

Let me go!

Miss Melon, please come and save me.

There's someone else here?

There are accomplices underground?

Miss Melon!

Where do you think you're going? Get back here!

How dare you bite me?

What the...

Yes!

My father is here.

Little girl.

Did he use this hand to hit you just now?

That's the hand.

Huang Yao Shi.

Mr Huang.

Mr Huang.

Your disciple pays his respect.

We were too ignorant.

How could we have crossed someone from Peach Blossom Island?

Please, Mr Huang, spare me.

You were the one who said

you'd make me become pathetic.

No, no.

I'm pathetic.

I'm the pathetic one.

On your knees.

You can crawl out of here.

Old Heretic Huang!

We are after all skilled fighters in the martial arts world.

A man shouldn't kneel without cause.

Better to kill a man than shame him, right?

However, Mr Huang is someone I respect greatly.

I... I'm just a self-proclaimed hero.

This isn't me being a loser.

Let's go.

Crawl out on our knees.

Quick, move it.

Master Huang.

It's all because my skills are lacking.

Sorry for embarrassing you, Grandmaster.

You displayed chivalry today.

Nothing to be ashamed about.

Thank you, Grandmaster.

I am a Purity Priestess from Quanzhen Sect,

Sun Bu Er's disciple, Chen Yao Jia.

It's an honour to meet you, Mr Huang.
