Brother Zhou was a man who only knew martial arts. He was innocently pure at heart and didn’t understand relations between men and women. He went up and wanted to exchange some pointers with Concubine Liu. He managed to pin her to the ground in a few strokes and demanded to know
Whether she admitted defeat. Of course. Chaos reign where Zhou Botong appears. You know Zhou Botong? Yes. We have been friends for a decade. My father kept him captive on Peach Blossom Island, only releasing him recently. Is Brother Zhou well? He’s fine, but he’s getting crazier with age.
He even became sworn brothers with Brother Jing. Yes. What happened after that? Concubine Liu pestered Brother Zhou to impart martial arts to her. One was the master, while the other was the student. Brother Zhou and Concubine Liu were both young people in the prime of their lives.
Feeling developed between them during the long hours spent together. Matters finally got to the stage where it got totally out of hand. What could be so serious? They were not married, but committed acts only married couples did. Priest Wang got to know about it, and brought Brother Zhou to me
To dispose of him as I deemed fit. As pugilists, friendship and brotherhood were valued above women. How could I allow a woman to ruin the friendship I had with him? I released him on the spot, summoned for Concubine Liu and… ordered them to become man and wife. However, Brother Zhou insisted that
He had done nothing wrong. He would rather die than get himself into such a distressing state. He even proclaimed that he would not retaliate no matter what we did. If we didn’t kill him, he would leave and never return. He produced a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Concubine Liu.
She merely gave a wistful smile, but did not receive it from him. Brother Zhou released the handkerchief, and it fell at my feet. He didn’t say anything else and stomped out of the palace. That was the last we saw of him. From then on, there was no news of him at all.
Looking at the downcast Concubine Liu, my heart ached for her. When I picked up the handkerchief, I saw a pair of Mandarin ducks on it. That must be the token of love Concubine Liu gave him. By the side of the Mandarin ducks, there was a poem sewn onto the cloth. “The Four-Line Chance”.
“The loving Mandarin ducks age well before their time”. “Beneath the cold exterior lies an exuberant youthful presence”. “Lovers entwined in red silk”. You know this poem too? Now I remember. During the times Brother Zhou was asleep, he would be mumbling this poem in his dreams. Oh, he even warned me that
Women must never be touched. Bonds of friendship would be lost once women were touched. He also mentioned something about making his senior angry, and that one must never allow a woman to touch his acupoints on the body. If that happened, great misfortune would follow. Ying-gu’s abode! Yes, it sounds familiar.
Ying-gu is Concubine Liu. Reverend, deep down in your heart, you still loved Ying-gu. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so unhappy. Miss, you… Am I wrong? Rong’er, do not continue. Reverend, did I say the wrong thing? I didn’t summon Concubine Liu in the next six months.
However, I still met her frequently in my dreams. One night, I finally could not take it and went to pay her a visit. I didn’t inform the eunuchs or palace maids and went there alone quietly. I merely wanted to see what she was doing. “The Four-Line Chance ”.
“The loving Mandarin ducks age well before their time”. “Beneath the cold exterior lies an exuberant youthful presence”. “Lovers entwined in red silk”. I only left at dawn, and fell ill once I arrived at my chambers. Wasn’t it a happy event that Concubine Liu gave birth to a son? Reverend, why were you unhappy?
Silly girl, the baby was Brother Zhou’s son. Didn’t Brother Zhou leave the palace? Did he come back again? A baby has to be in his mother’s womb for ten months before he is born. I didn’t go near Concubine Liu at all during that period of time. How could the child be mine?
I was ill for more than half a year. When I finally recovered, I cast the whole matter out of my mind. It happened on a night two years later… My child! Your Majesty! Please show mercy! Please be merciful and spare the child! Your Majesty! What is wrong with the child? Your Majesty, look.
How did he get injured? Your Majesty, please show mercy! I’m willing to take any punishment you mete out without any complaints, but the child… Who said anything about punishing you? How exactly did the child get injured? Your Majesty, didn’t you send men to injure the child?
Which guard would have the guts to do that? Your Majesty, if it wasn’t you who commanded that, there is hope for the child! The assassin was highly skilled. His internal strength is definitely a force to be reckoned with. In Dali, no second person has attained such a level of internal strength besides me.
Could it be him? Why would he want to kill his own son? Brother Zhou couldn’t have done that. But at that time, I was certain that it was the doing of Brother Zhou. Other than him, who in the pugilistic fraternity would… attempt to harm an innocent child?
He didn’t want to leave behind any roots that could shame him. No… It wasn’t him. I remember that laughter. It wasn’t him. You were in a state of shock. How can you be clear about that? I would never forget that laughter. even if I became a ghost. It wasn’t him!
She presented me with a barrage of theories, and I believed her. But I didn’t have a clue as to who the assassin could be. He could very well have killed the defenceless baby, but he chose only to inflict serious injuries on the baby. That has to be Ouyang Feng.
I did think of him too. But being from the Western Regions, he was of a larger build than others. He was more than a head taller than the average man. According to Concubine Liu, the killer was a short man. That’s really strange. I really couldn’t deduce anything at that moment,
And Concubine Liu could do nothing but hold the child and sob. Though the child’s injuries were not as severe as yours, he was young, and treating him was an immensely difficult task. If I had treated him, it would have damaged my internal strength greatly. I would have been at a disadvantage
During the Mt Hua duel. I wouldn’t be able to lay hands on the Jiuyin Manual either. Your Majesty, I am too ashamed to continue living in this world. Please show mercy and allow me to use my life in exchange for my child’s! I’m willing to become your slave in my reincarnation
To repay your kindness! I couldn’t bear to see Concubine Liu in such a despondent state and agreed to help save the child. But… I couldn’t do it. Each time I wanted to save the child, I would see the handkerchief glaring at me squarely from his chest. There was a pair of Mandarin ducks
Nestled lovingly with their heads bent towards each other. The heads of the Mandarin ducks were white. Didn’t it imply that they were to stay and grow old together? Why did the poem then mention that they were “growing old before their time”. So the two of you want to grow old together.
But you’re leaving me all alone in this palace? Why should I save the child born out of wedlock between the two of you? Let go of me! My child, I may not be able to save you, but I can relieve your suffering. My child, go to sleep.
You will not feel pain after you have fallen asleep. My precious darling, go to sleep. Go to sleep peacefully. You will never have to suffer again. As I turned around and saw her crazed state, I suddenly broke out in cold sweat. I’m going to plunge this dagger into your chest one day.
This jade bangle was a gift from you. Just wait. The day you see this jade bangle again will be the day… this dagger will pierce your chest! This is the jade bangle. After waiting for more than ten years, the day of reckoning is finally here. Reverend,
The child was neither injured nor killed by you. Why do you have to assume responsibility? She even poisoned you! Even if there were grudges between you, you have repaid your debt. I’ll chase her away right now and not allow her to come up. Master, this was delivered from the foot of the hill.
Master! The Mandarin ducks yearn to be together all their lives, but everything comes to naught. All right, let’s just get everything over and done with. I shall take it as a form of charitable help offered to her. All right, show Ying-gu the way up the hill. You’re not to be disrespectful to her.
Master! Don’t you know me well enough after being with me for so many years? Master… Go on! Rong’er, what should we do? I have a favour to ask of the two of you. Reverend, please speak your mind. I owe Ying-gu too much. No matter what difficulties she may come across,
Please try your best to help her on my account. If you could bring her and Brother Zhou together, I would be eternally grateful to you. Can you agree to this request of mine? Reverend, we… Brother Jing, since the reverend has asked for our help, we should agree. Amitabha. Leave this place.
Our respects to Your Ladyship. Who are you referring to? Concubine Liu is dead. I am Ying-gu. The Prime Minister and Naval Officer are all here. I was under the impression His Majesty had forsaken secular ties. So he’s hiding in the hills enjoying life as the sovereign!
His Majesty is a shadow of his former self. You will not be able to recognize him if you see him now. Are you trying to be sarcastic by addressing me as “Lady”? Do you plan to kneel here until I die? Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship… Let’s take a look!
Your servant pays his respects to you. Since His Majesty sent you here to stop me, why bother with all these shallow formalities? I’m all ready for you! Do you have any idea how many innocent people you have killed? Why do you still bother putting on a front before me? Your Ladyship,
His Majesty is a benevolent sovereign who loves his subjects dearly. To this day, the people of Dali still hold him in high regard. The people suffered no hardship during his reign. His Majesty showed mercy even to serious criminals. Your Ladyship, didn’t you know all this? How dare you rebut! I wouldn’t dare to.
You claim yourselves officials, but where is your sense of propriety? I demand to see Duan Zhixing! Are you going to give way? Once a sovereign, forever respected. You must never insult him! Your Ladyship, please halt! Go away! Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship, if you do not stop, I will have to be disrespectful.
Your Ladyship, please pardon us! What loyal subjects you are! Your Ladyship, please halt! What do you want? The Prime Minister and… Supreme Commander has been struck by my Seven-Death needles. No one in the world can save them. Do you want to suffer the same fate? Elder. Have the lady’s injuries been cured?
Thanks to your guidance, my junior has been cured by Reverend Yideng. Why didn’t she come to thank me personally? Elder, please stop. Be careful! Elder, you certainly possess consummate skills. I should thank you for saving my life first. I directed you here with the intention of harming another,
Not with the aim of helping you. Why are you thanking me? There is no end and explanation to the feuds in this world. My father held Zhou Botong captive on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years but was still unable to save my mother. Zhou Botong?
What did Zhou Botong have to do with your mother? Zhou Botong indirectly caused my mother’s death. My father held him captive on the Island for 15 years in a fit of anger. But as time passed, he started to have regrets. He decided that the person responsible had to pay the price.
He would seek out the person who was responsible for my mother’s death. That was why my father released Zhou Botong. Released him? I do not have to go and save him then. Of course. If my father hadn’t released him, you’d never have been able to save him.
Old Imp listens to everything I say. He will do what I say. If you want to see him, you’d better leave this place now. I will have my means of bringing the two of you together. Take it as repayment for your saving my life.
Why should he listen to a mere lass like you? Why should he listen to you and take orders from you? I didn’t help you and do not need any repayment from you. You’d better step aside, or you will be sorry! Are you going to kill me? So what if I do?
I’m not afraid of anyone and that includes your father! Don’t you want to seek revenge? Come with me. I’ve killed him! Ying-gu… Master! You… Reverend Yideng… Hand her the dagger. But… Give it to her. Here. Master! No one is to stop her! Go ahead and stab me. Reverend Yideng!
I’ve waited a long time. Ying-gu, you must not kill him! Master! Get your elder here! Yes! Ten years of waiting have come to naught! So what if I kill him? My child, I failed to exact revenge for you! Brother Jing, how are you? Rong’er, I’m fine. Don’t worry. She didn’t hurt me.
That’s good. I’m sorry that you had to risk your life to save me. Please forgive me for impersonating you. Amitabha. “Skies and stars, join in line. Pulsating with life…”. “But lacking in lustre”. You can understand Sanskrit? No, but when Brother Zhou was making me memorize the Jiuyin Manual,
The last paragraph sounded similar to what the reverend was saying. Admirable! You managed to memorize such a long paragraph of Sanskrit although you do not understand the language! This is really fate! What are they talking about? I have no idea. This is a formula used for treating internal injuries.
Even Priest Chongyang was not able to comprehend its meaning. Well, since you’ve memorized the Jiuyin Manual and my junior is here, allow him to explain the meaning of the words do you. You will be able to save others with your knowledge in the future. Thank you, Reverend! Amitabha. Abbess,
I’ve been here for almost a month. Staying indefinitely is not a solution. Please allow me to take the tonsure and become a nun today. You’re doing this in a fit of anger. It must not be so. Abbess, I’m not doing this on impulse. Only religion can relieve my suffering.
I want to be a peace person. Abbess, please grant my wish. Since you’ve seen the light, I should accede to your request. But… But what? Your body has become weaker throughout your time here. When I took your pulse yesterday, I realized you are with child. Nianci!
Your ties with the secular world are not resolved yet. Since Master Yang is here, you should have a good talk with him. I Hope the two of you can come to an agreement. Nianci, I didn’t expect… Nianci! Nianci! I can’t believe we’re going to have a baby! Nianci!
I know I have broken your heart. But forgive me for the sake of the baby. Nianci! Nianci, let’s go back. I’ll summon the best physician. We will have a… Nianci, please do not be angry anymore. Please forgive me. Let’s go back. Go back? Where are we going? Back to your royal residence?
If you don’t like it, we can stay outside the royal palace. I can no longer stay in the nunnery now that I’m pregnant. I’m going to a faraway place to bring my child up. Don’t leave! Spare a thought for our child if not for me. You should allow our child.
To have both parents by his side When he grows up, we will employ the best masters for him. I will impart martial arts to him and groom him into a worthy youth! All right, that’s enough! I’m leaving for the sake of our child. Why? I cannot allow him to
Follow in your footsteps and become a traitor! You’re a useless person who hankers after material wants and luxuries! You’ve even forgotten who your ancestors are! My child can do without material comforts, but he has to be clear that his surname isn’t Wanyan. His surname is Yang! He is a descendant of Song!
Brother Jing, we’ve been staying here for quite some time. I wonder how Master is now. What is this? It’s cloth from my father’s attire. It has bloodstains on it! Did something happen to my father? Rong’er, calm down. Let’s return to Peach Blossom Island now. Since you have matters to see to,
I won’t hold you here. Brother Yao is a resourceful man. No one will be able to bring harm unto him. Do not worry. Rong’er, the reverend is right. Reverend, thank you. Amitabha. Reverend, we take our leave. Rong’er, let’s go. Have a safe journey. Brother Jing, we’ve known each other for some time and…
Have gone through many dangers together. But something good always comes out of the trials we go through. I got injured this time, but we uncovered the Jiuyin Manual’s secret. Rong’er, I’d rather not learn any skills. My only wish is that you remain safe and sound.
You don’t have to resort to this to win my favour. If you didn’t know martial arts, you would have been killed long ago. Not to mention Ouyang Feng and Sha Tongtian, Just one of the Iron Palms would have been able to take your life easily. But I do not wish to
See you get injured ever again. I didn’t feel anything when I was injured in Lin’an the other time. But I feel terrible when I see how much suffering you have to undergo. You’re really heartless. Why? You’d rather get yourself injured and see me heartbroken?
In that case, we shall get injured together in the future. Or else, the two of us will stay healthy together. Hum. I want Guo Jing and Huang Rong! Why did you kidnap an old woman? Chief, this woman is in cahoots with them!
When we were chasing Guo Jing and Huang Rong the other time, they sought refuge in her house. Chief, that’s right. Take her away! Yes! Rong’er, let’s go there and find out. This way please. We want to go to Hankou. Could you find a boatman to row us across the river?
Not a problem, please wait here. I’ll go right now! Sirs, the boatman is here. Rong’er, you can even communicate with mutes. You are really admirable. Rong’er, what did you tell him that made him so happy just now? I asked him to buy some food and indicated that I would pay him later.
Brother Jing, that priestess seems tempted by the secular world. She feels that you’re a dashing and handsome young man. Me? Rong’er, stop joking. Why are you chasing her? How can you allow such a beautiful priestess to get away? Come on. Hurry! Brother Jing, I’ll take off her hat.
Rong’er, stop fooling around, will you? Rong’er… Sister Mu, it’s really you. I’m sorry… Miss Mu! Brother Jing, the boat you hired belongs to the Iron Palm Sect. They set a trap to ambush you. Iron Palm Sect? That mute’s boat? He’s not a mute. He’s simply pretending to… be one to allay your suspicions.
I see. If you hadn’t told us, I wouldn’t have been able to tell. Sister Mu, here. Why are you dressed like this? Yes. Did Yang Kang bully you again? I’m sure you know what happened between me and Yang Kang. I can only blame my ill fate for meeting an unworthy man like him.
Where is Yang Kang? He left with his father. There’s nothing worth living for in this world any longer. That was why I chose to turn to religion. I was about to set off for Niu village in Lin’an… and didn’t expect to meet you here. Sister Mu,
We’re on our way back to Peach Blossom Island. Why don’t you travel with us? We can keep each another company. That’s right. It isn’t necessary. Thank you for the offer, but I feel like travelling alone. A woman like her having to travel such long distances… Fortunately she possesses martial arts.
She will not be easily bullied by commoners. That might not be the case. The two of us were bullied by others too. My second master used to lament that humans were not equal even to dogs in times of chaos. Well. Let’s go take care of that mute dog now. What mute dog?
Let’s go. It doesn’t taste good. Go on. Rong’er, There’s something I haven’t been able to figure out. Why didn’t the soldiers continue pursuing Chief Shangguan after he reached Iron Palm Peak? I don’t understand either. The terrain of Iron Palm Peak could be too dangerous for the soldiers to attempt scaling it. Maybe…
The men from the sect could have prevent the soldiers from capturing their chief. The soldiers then had no choice but to leave. Senior Qu unexpectedly managed to claim credit for his expedition. Credit? The Wumu War Manual was initially hidden in the cave next to The waterfall in the imperial palace. After Shangguan Jiannan
Stole the manual, he would have left the painting he drew in the cave, am I right? That’s right. Although Senior Qu was expelled from Peach Blossom Island, he still missed my father and knew that my father liked such paintings. Since such paintings were mostly kept in the imperial palace,
He went forth with the intention of stealing the paintings. I know! Senior Qu stole that painting along with others and hid them in… the secret room in Village Niu. He wanted to present the paintings to your father, but didn’t expect to be killed by the soldiers. If in that case. When Wanyan Honglie
Rushed to the palace, both the Wumu War Manual and the painting with the clue were gone. If we had known, I wouldn’t have fought with Ouyang Feng and gotten myself injured. You wouldn’t have had to worry for me for seven days and nights either. That might not have been the case.
If we weren’t recuperating in the secret room, we wouldn’t have discovered the painting. We also wouldn’t… I wonder how my father is now. Rong’er… The mid-autumn festival is coming soon. Will you be returning to Mongolia after the duel at Jiaxing? No. I’m going to kill Wanyan Honglie to exact revenge…
For my father and Uncle Yang. What happens after you kill him? There are still many things waiting to be done. We have to treat Master’s injuries, and bring Brother Zhou to Ying-gu. I also intend to visit each of my six masters’ homes. And I also have to find my father’s grave.
But you will still return to Mongolia after all these are completed. The mid-autumn festival is coming soon. Will you be returning to Mongolia after the duel at Jiaxing? No. I’m going to kill Wanyan Honglie to exact revenge for my father and Uncle Yang. What happens after you kill him?
There are still many things waiting to be done. We have to treat Master’s injuries, and bring Brother Zhou to Ying-gu. I also intend to visit each of my six masters’ homes. And I also have to find my father’s grave. But you will still return to Mongolia after all these are completed.
It’s all right, actually. We will just enjoy the time we have together. Each day gone is one day less. Rong’er… Brother Jing… Brother Jing… Rong’er… Don’t marry that Mongolian princess. I will marry you. I take back my words. I’m contented to have your love. Respects to Chief Qiao. Are the two scumbags here?
Yes. Are they the least bit suspicious? No, but they refused to eat. We couldn’t spike their food. They’ll meet their doomsday at Qinglong Shoal. At noon the day after tomorrow, steer your vessel to Qinglong Point, which is three li away from the shoal. Break the helm and we’ll receive you. Okay.
Any other orders? No. I take my leave. Go. Rong’er, they… I knew it all along. Brother Jing, I’ve already died once. I’m not afraid of shoals. Or anything. Let’s sleep. Shoot them. Both of you. Where are you running to? Run? We came to look for you. Rong’er, out of my way! Help…
Ying-gu? Why are you here? Qiu Qianren, it’s you? Chief Qiu, you are a reputable man. Fancy kidnapping me after knocking me out with fumes! Shame on you. How lowly of you! My lackeys captured you easily! With my palms, I can defeat you easily! I can defeat all of you.
How have I offended you? These two scumbags barged into my sect’s sacred peak and you let them take refuge at your place! I asked you politely for them, but you shielded them and lied! You think I’m easy to trifle with? These two brats? Take them if you want! I don’t care!
Fine! Brother Jing, let’s teach Qiu Qian a lesson before we deal with her. So it was you! You… What? You… You killed my son! Don’t you run! Rong’er… I’ve always been muddle-headed. I failed to realize your feelings towards me. What are you saying? I don’t wish to bother about Genghis Khan
Or Princess Huazheng. I only want to spend the rest of my life with you. What about your mother? My mother? I can bring her over to the Central Plains. What about your Master Zhebie and Brother Tuolei? Yes, I am indebted to them, but I can’t split my heart into half.
What about the 7 Weirdos of Jiangnan and Priest Qiu? My masters will… They will be cross with me, but I can beg them slowly. Rong’er, I know you can’t leave me. I can’t do without you either. Brother Jing, I have an idea. Why don’t we go to Peach Blossom Island? Show yourself now
Or you’ll be doomed! Move or I’ll hack you! I’ll hack you! Don’t move. Listen here! You have been surrounded! Surrender yourselves! Brother Jing, let’s see if there’s something amiss. Due to Old Imp’s skill. They should be no match for Old Imp. All right. Don’t move or I’ll hack you! Quick, show yourselves!
Don’t put on a brave front! Dom’t make me laugh. I like picking “yin” to strengthen the “yang”. What business is it of yours? I’ll torture you when you come out. Go ahead and show me what you’re capable of! It’s my master. Master! Brother Sha, quick, save me! Rascal, we shall see!
Brother Peng, I will avenge you. What are you laughing at? A man should mark his words. What are you doing right now? I beg your pardon? Which day of the 8th month is today? What do you mean? Didn’t we agree to battle it out at Jiaxing Yanyu Court
On the 15th of the 8th month? If you kill me now, who will you spar with? All right, it is a deal. The 15th day it will be! What have you done to Brother Zhou? I have nothing to do with this. He wanted to compete with the Tibetan monk on perseverance.
Whoever moves, loses. Brother Zhou, stop playing. The sparring at Yanyu Court! Brother Zhou! They’re really competing on perseverance. Master… Hey, there will be no winner even after the next few hours. What’s the meaning? Let me think of a way. I’ll tickle you both. Whoever laughs first, loses. You’re really something, fat monk!
I take my hat off to you! Since you’ve won, I shan’t take your life. Let’s go. Old Imp… Still feigning death? Old Imp, you’ve been tricked. But you even didn’t get it. What a fool you’ve been! What’s the matter? Unblock his acupoints first. You despicable rat! I’ll kill you! Senior, stop running.
I’m exhausted! Stop your nonsense. Quick, run! Peng Lianhu is done for! Yes, he’s doomed. Both of you. Just my luck to have been acquainted with beasts like you. Brother Peng, show some mercy. We couldn’t have courted our own doom. That’s right. If we had fought, we’d all have been doomed.
Reverend Lingzhi is done for! A Bu Gu Lu Lu. You rascals! Why did you leave my acupoints blocked? I almost lost my life. Reverend, I… Come, take a seat. Your tongues will be cut off in hell. Eternal torture… Master! Master! Why are you in mourning? Go away! Master! I am Jing’er. Scram!
Brother Jing… Little Demoness, I’ll kill you! Jing’er… Master… How dare you hit your master! You bastard! Master, I… It wasn’t intentional. Master, please punish me. Don’’t call me that. Who is your master? You have the Chief of Peach Blossom Island as your father-in-law. Why would you need your masters? We are not fit
To be your masters. Master, I realize my mistake. Swordsman Ke, such accidental blows are common between masters and disciples. I taught him that stroke. My apologies to you. Swordsman Ke, such accidental blows between masters and disciples are common. I taught him that stroke. My apologies to you.
You think the East Evil, Western Venom, South King and North Beggar… can dominate the world just because you’re highly-skilled? Retribution will befall those who commit evil. How has the South King offended you? You can’t abuse him. Don’t hold me back. Let me talk to him. Old Imp, stop playing a fool. No. Why?
He is talking too. Why do you only reprimand me? Why should I listen to you? “Mandarin ducks flying wing to wing” has come to look for you. You should meet her. Where is she? She wishes to be in the cold with you. Where is she? Will you listen to me in future? Yes,
I’ll listen to whatever you say. Just don’t tell he r I am here. Okay? Old Imp, you promise to listen to me? I would never go back on my word. You have spent 18 years searching for my whereabouts in the desert. I can never repay you for your gratitude.
I hit you with my palm. I don’t want it anymore. If that’s the case, you must do something for me. I wouldn’t dare to disobey my master’s orders. If you should decline, our ties will be severed if you don’tdo it. I will do my utmost.
If I should fail, you may have my life. Well. Sever Old Evil Huang’s and his daughter’s heads for me. Brother Jing… Master, I…I… I don’t know how Chief Huang and Rong’er have offended you. I knew you wouldn’t oblige. I beseech Heaven to bestow upon me a moment of sight
To see the face of this scoundrel. Master… Scram! Master… Scram! Master… Swordsman Guo, do you wish to take my life? Swordsman Ke… Brother Jing… Your master and Old Evil Huang have weird temperaments. There seems to be deep enmity between them. Jing’er, Rong’er, worry not. I will resolve the issue between them. Qigong,
Do you know what has happened? No matter what, your master is a man of righteousness. If he hadn’t come to my rescue, I wouldn’t have lived to see you. After the sparring at Yanyu Court during mid-autumn, I will resolve the issue for them. HUM. All of you are here. Let’s go! Wait…
Have you seen my two disciples? Why were you the first to flee? Why were you the first to flee? Scumbag! Thrash him! Hear me out! Spare me! Spare me! Don’t you follow us. Oh, no. Spare me! Please, Spare me! Wait for me! Wait for me! Stop running! Quick, run!
Why are you running so fast? Hurry up. Quick, run! Stop running! Has he gone by? I suppose so. Who has gone by? Quick, run! Stop running! I beg of you! I beg of you! I beg of you, don’t tell anyone I am here. I’m going off. Master. If not for the coincidence,
You would have been killed by Old Imp. I was from the dumps anyway. Doesn’t matter whose hands I die in. This is your favourite. Yes, I love this. Master, remember the time when we returned from Myriad Island… Ghost Suppression Island! All right, Ghost Suppression Island. Ghost Suppression Island. Ouyang Feng once said
There’s only one person who can save your life. Brother Jing and I have found out. It is Reverend Yideng. His Yiyang Finger can indeed unblock my veins and arteries. But that would take a toll on his own energy level. He’ll require 3 to 5 years of recuperation.
I’d rather not ask for that favour. Qigong, I now recall. One can unblock his own veins and arteries too. Hum. You can? Reverend Yideng’s junior recited the scripture on curing internal injuries to me. He even told Rong’er and me that the skill not only heals, but is also beneficial in building internal strength.
Qigong, have your food first. I’ll recite it for you later. You have it. Qigong, you have it. You have it. I wonder how Father is. With your father’s capabilities, he should be fine. But you’ll have to ask him what happened between him and Swordsman Ke. Will your father be at Yanyu Court?
Brother Jing is related to the Quanzhen Sect. If they should be defeated, Brother Jing is sure to be unhappy. Brother Jing has been mumbling to himself and staring into space. Master, If Brother Jing ignores me, I will feel miserable. Rong’er, don’t be. With me around, nothing will happen to
His masters and Quanzhen Sect. You’d better not go. You have not recovered fully. I’m fine. My presence will instil some fear in them. Qigong, where are you heading? Let me escort you. I’m going to Jiaxing. Both of you make a trip to Peach Blossom Island to take a look.
Send for me if there’s trouble. I will be there for you. All right, I’m going off. Be careful, Qigong. I’m fine. Farewell. Rong’er, let’s go. Brother Jing, can you promise me something? Let’s hear it first, lest it be something I can’t accomplish. I’m not asking you to behead your masters.
Why bring that up again? Why not? It’s deeply etched in my mind. Though we’re on close terms, I won’t want you to sever my head. I have no idea why Master blew his top. He is well aware that you’re my… You’re my loved one. I’d rather die a thousand times
Than hurt you a single bit. Brother Jing, are you really willing to sacrifice them for me? Rong’er, I promised to spend my lifetime with you on the island. My mind is decided. I meant what I said. I will keep my words. All right. From now on, you’re not to leave Peach Blossom Island.
From now on? Yes, as of today. I will let Father assist in the battle at Yanyu court. And fetch your mother from Mongolia. Rong’er… If that isn’t enough, I’ll get him to apologize to your six masters. I want you to be free from worries. Rong’er, I will keep my promise.
Why let your thoughts run wild? Life is unfathomable. When you agreed to marry the Mongolian princess, Who’d have known you’d change your mind now? In the past, I did what I wanted. But now… Brother Jing, it’s not that I don’t trust you. Neither am I trying to prevent you from leaving the island.
I am just a little worried. Rong’er, with me around, you needn’t be afraid. What are you worried about? I don’t know either. But when I saw the way your master wanted to take my life, I was really frightened. I’m worried you’d listen to him and kill me one day.
That is why I don’t want you to leave the island. Promise me. It is not a big deal. It’s just this trivial matter? My six masters may look violent, but they are benevolent people. you must know that yy 7th master is exceptionally gentle and kind-hearted. So… You’re still leaving? Rong’er, I mean.
Let’s fetch my mother from Mongolia together. After which, we will take Wanyan Honglie’s life… and return here together. Isn’t that better? If that’s the case, it’s impossible for us to come back together, not to mention spending our lifetimes together. Why not? Not only is your master after my life,
He hates me to the core. Brother Jing, don’t leave this place. Nothing can tear us apart. All right, we will never leave this place. Nothing can tear us apart. Rong’er, is there anything else that you ask for? There’s nothing else I ask for. If I should ask for more,
Even Heaven would find me troublesome. With you around, I would ask for nothing more. Rong’er… Rong’er, wait up. Brother Jing, hurry! Yellow Wind Chaser… It’s my 3rd master’s horse. How did it die there? My 3rd master would be devastated. Brother Jing… Why is the blood black in colour? Where is my 3rd master?
Brother Jing, calm down. We’ll check it out. All right. Over here. Come. Brother Jing… Let’s go. Mother… How did this happen? 6th Master! 6th Master! 2nd Master! 2nd Master! This cannot be happening… 7th Master! 7th Master! 3rd Master! 3rd Master! Jiuyin White Bone Claw? This is impossible. Mei Chaofeng is dead.
Other than Huang Yaoshi, who else in this world use this skill? Father! Father! Father! Look, my father is missing too. They must have exchanged blows here. If my father wanted to kill your masters, need he go to this extent? Who killed them then? Whoever it is, it can’t be my father. Brother Jing,
Let’s bury your masters first. I will go to the bottom of this matter. 2nd Master…2nd Master… Did I hurt you? “I heard that” “The 7 disciples of Quanzhen have been too trusting”. “Disaster will befall at Peach Blossom Island”. “I know of the impending disaster, yet my words are of little weightage”.
“A man highly skilled, on par with Priest Wang Chongyang”. “How could he duel with his juniors”. “I wish to resolve the differences and stop the bloodshed”. “Swordsmen ought to be magnanimous and not harp on trivialities”. “If the members of Quanzhen Sect were to die in your hands…” “How unbecoming it would be
Of a highly respected elder”. 2nd Master… “Something is amiss. Be on your guard”. This doesn’t belong to Mother. “Zhao”? 2nd Master, you taught me how to read and write. You taught me how to stand up tall. You often told me jokes which I would never hear again. I miss your jokes. 6th Master,
You saw me out of the desert into the Central Plains. I’ve come to send you off now. 3rd Master, you hit me the hardest, yet you shielded me the most. You left. The yellow horse has left with you. You will be happy riding it. 7th Master, you shielded me from punches.
When I was cold, you gave me warm clothing. When I was made to go hungry, you’d bring me food. Now that you’re gone, where do I look for you? Brother Jing, have some food. You haven’t eaten for a day. I will never eat anything from Peach Blossom Island from now on. 4th Master!
What happened to you? 4th Master! 4th Master! 4th Master, What happened to you? 4th Master! 4th Master! What is it that you wish to say? Tell me who’s behind this. 4th Master! 4th Master! 4th Master wants to write something. 4th Master! 4th Master! I know what he wanted to write. The character, “Huang”!
2nd Master, 3rd Master, 4th Master, 6th Master, 7th Master, I am leaving. I will bring Huang Yaoshi’s head here after I avenge you. Come with me. I’ll show you the way out. Brother Jing, my father will never kill your masters. Brother Jing, my father will never kill your masters. I only believe evidence.
Brother Jing, you must believe me. my father will never kill your masters. I will get to the bottom of this matter. Yes, Huang Yaoshi is your father, but he has killed my masters. Do not deceive me. When have I lied to you? Fool! I am a fool, but I will avenge my masters.
Senior. Hum. We’re in for a good show. Quanzhen sect is courting their own doom by pitting themselves against the Jins. If you should step in, their fate lies in your hands. Your Highness, Everything is ready. Do no worry, Master Ouyang. We have 40 venomous snakes and 500 archers oulside. At my command,
The lantern will be burst and the snakes will glide out. Chief Qiu will lead his strength of 500 men and … borrowed troops of 500 from Jiaxing Prefecture and I’ll lead another 500. When they are severely injured, we’ll attack with a sea of arrows. Even the most formidable exponent
Cannot escape from the trap. Brilliant! Your Highness, I marvel at your meticulous strategy. You flatter me, Master Ouyang. The strategy against the enemies of Jin was crafted by Kang’er. Here’s our chance to attack them unguarded. Master Ouyang, should we act now? No hurry. Your Highness, Little HIighness’ wit and decisiveness… Impress me.
If we win this battle, I will take you in as my disciple and impart my skills to you. No hurry yet. Your Highness, let’s position our troops and ambush them. Don’t arouse their suspicion. Yes. Let’s go. Sir, the upper deck is reserved. You may drink at the lower deck. Jing’er, you’ve come.
Priest Qiu. Good that you’ve come a day earlier. Just a day earlier I will take Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian on tomorrow. I’ve come a day earlier for drinks and reminiscing with your 6 masters. See, I’ve got it set up. My 6 masters… Are you masters here yet? Jing’er, 18 years ago.
I first me your masters here That table of vegetarian food was prepared for Reverend Jiaomu. A pity that he can no longer meet up with your masters. My 6 masters… See, I’ve even borrowed the bronze tripod which we used for our wine gamble and sparring, from Fahua Temple. When your 6 masters arrive,
We’ll drink to our hearts’ content. Your masters and I made a pact to… have you spar with Yang Kang 18 years from then. For the past 18 years, our paths seldom crossed, yet I’ve long regarded them as my true friends. I willingly accept my defeat in Zuixian Court that year. Priest Qiu,
Five of my masters are no longer alive. What are you saying? With the exception of Eldest Master, the other five have passed away. Since my friends have passed on, what would I need you for? Jing’er, tell me Tell me how they died! They… They… Old Evil Huang…
Old Evil Huang, come with me if you dare! Filthy priest, do I fear you? Sorry to offend you at our meeting today, Chief Huang. I heard Elder zhou has died in your hands. We know we’re of no match for you, so we have to take you on together. Please forgive us.
Is Zhou Botong dead? What nonsense! Huang Yaoshi, come here! You insulted our sect and imprisoned our elder. It is time for revenge! I must avenge my elder! Old Evil Huang, put me down! Put me down! Little brat, who are you to fight me? Senior… Do not act rashly. He wouldn’t harm a child.
Swordsman Ke… It is the Quanzhen Sect setting scores with Chief Huang today. We need not trouble you. We harbour the same deeply-entrenched enmity. Heaven has eyes. Old Euil Huang shall die in front of Yanyu Court. Thank you! Zhiping, protect Swordsman Ke. Yes. Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, Seven Disciples of Quanzhen,
You’re all brainless beings! Come on up. Qigong? Come on up, Dimwit. Qigong, I… Don’t be in a hurry to speak. Take a look first. The 7 Swords Combine! You don’t know your limits! Look at how formidable your father-in-law is! I’ll go! Sit down. Why should you interfere? Your father-in-law is not retaliating.
Initially, I was very worried for your master. But I can see your father-in-law has no intention to hurt them. How can you tell? It is so obvious. You see. If he had wanted to kill those priests, they would’ve been dead. The priests aren’t his match! But it puzzles me
Why your master is adamant about killing him. He is no longer my father-in-law. Since when? He…He… What’s wrong with him? What’s wrong with Rong’er? You two have a quarrel? This has nothing to do with Rong’er. He killed my five masters. I will not let him off. Are you serious?
It is my honour to receive you, Chief Qiu. I wouldn’t dare to trouble you. This way, please. Your Highness, the battle at Yanyu Court involves only… Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Seven Quanzhen Disciples. Since Master Ouyang is here, I needn’t make the trip down. We share a common purpose of
Glorifying the Jin Empire. Welcome aboard. Chief Qiu, you call yourself the “Water Skater”. To think you’re highly skilled in “Mass Descent”too. I apologize for my clumsy skills from the village. Dispense with ceremony. Was it you whom I met in the bamboo forsest outside Niu Village? That was my twin brother.
He has been killed by Guo Jing and Huang Rong. I must let them suffer a miserable death. Excellent, With two of you, the Jin Empire is sure to prosper. Start the ship. Huang Yaoshi, you’re formidable indeed, but we have to avenge the humiliation of our sect. The Sword Formation! Crash to Taishan.
3 Dragons after the Pearl. Dimwit, why are you pitting yourself against me? Where’s Rong’er? What have you done to her? Quick, tell me! Why are your hands trembling? Why are you keeping quiet? Dimwit, speak up! Attack! Yes! Master… Though I’ve broken your formation, you won’t let this rest.
I don’t want to be made a laughingstock for bullying juniors. Priests, you may take me on together. Thank you for your mercy, Chief Huang. Logically speaking, we would have been dead by now. The formation that was passed down by our ancestors has been broken by Chief Huang. We ought to admit defeat.
But we have to avenge our sect. When our mission is accomplished, we will take our own lives… to show our gratitude. Elders, I have something to say. Master, the Quanzhen Sect is mistaken on this matter. I ought to clarify it. Jing’er, we will shoulder our own responsibility. Though we’re inferior to him,
We won’t stoop to secret attacks. Jing’er, speak your mind. Elder Zhou isn’t dead. Jing’er, are you sure? Priest, I can’t wait to kill this scumbag myself. But since this is the truth, I have to say it. Why do you detest me so? Where is Rong’er? You know it very well.
Even if we can’t win, we have to fight it out with this scumbag… to avenge your five masters. Master, my five masters died a terrible death. I beg your pardon? They were guests on my island. How did they die? Your disrespectful manner is all because of them? Feigning ignorance after killing my masters?
Jing’er, don’t bother with him. Just take his life. Master. I killed your masters? I buried my five masters with my own hands on Peach Blossom Island. How could I have wronged you? So what if I’m wronged? I’ve always been on my own. Why should I deny my own deeds?
You’re right. I killed your masters. Father… Father, you’re not the culprit. Don’t you own up! Rong’er, come over here. Let me take a look at you. Father, this dimwit wronged you and bullied me. How dare you bully my beloved daughter! I’ll give it to him! Father… You… Brother Jing… Rong’er, be good.
I do what I want. For the past decades, the ignorant have accused me time and again. What would a few more times matter? The 5 Weirdos of Jiangnan are enemies of your senior, Mei. Just take it that I killed them. No. Father, you didn’t. I know it wasn’t you.
Don’t listen to his absurd conversation with the little demoness. I may be blind, but it was him who killed your five masters. Master, you don’t have to tell me. Rong’er, stay away. Senior… What? When Quanzhen Sect was in trouble, they tent us a hand. Now that they’re at the losing end,
We can’t possibly… leave them and Elder Zhou in the lurch. Let’s defeat Old Evil Huang. Okay. Move! You had your reasons for attacking me before this. Now that the dimwit has told you the truth, you’re still as insistent. You think I won’t take your lives? You sinful villain! You little demoness!
How dare you scold me! If you wish to kill my father, kill me first. Stay away. Why won’t you listen to me? Stay away! Brother Yao, you’re sure in the mood to entertain the juniors. Brother Yao, don’t be anxious. I’m here to help you.
Brother Qi has come to join in the fun too. Pay for Junior Tan’s life! Old Venom, come court your doom! What are you shouting, Rescal? Stop fighting. Master, quick, stop them. Stop fighting! Stop it! I have something to say. Brother Qi, it’s been some time. You’ve been on my mind. I am okay.
My bones are still as strong. Great. Your command, Chief Hong. Take a look at the moon. Today is the 14th of the 8th month. Tomorrow is the 15th. There’s been no peace since dawn broke. I couldn’t even have a good sleep. First, the Toilet Bowl Formation, then the Spittoon Formation.
“Man hitting the wife” “Father-in-law hitting son-in-law” and what have you. All that noise is giving me a headache. Wha’s this for? The 15th is tomorrow, not today. Elder is right. We’ll fight it out tomorrow. All right. Brother Qi, Brother Yao and I… have a bad patch with the Quanzhen Sect.
I’ll give you face today, but no one is to lend a hand tomorrow. You mean to say you’ll definitely win if I don’t help? Rong’er, Jing’er, massage my back for me. To think I’d have such good fortune at this age. Rong’er, have you fallen out with Jing’er? No. No? You bullied Jing’er? No.
Jing’er, come over here and massage my back for me. Come here. Tell me, has Rong’er bullied you? This has nothing to do with Rong’er. The weather will be different tomorrow. There will be no moon on the 15th. Brother Yao, does this southern lake have another name? It’s also known as the Yuanyang Lake.
A nice name. But your daughter and son-in-law have fallen out on this lake. Won’t you talk them round? Qigong, he killed my five masters. Jing’er… Jing’er, don’t be rash. Don’t my words matter anymore? Old Evil Huang, why did you take the lives of the chivalrous swordsmen? You’re such a nuisance! Old Beggar,
I kill who I want. It’s none of your concern. Brother Yao is an exponent of our time. He is an unpredictable man. What do a few lives mean to him? I am impressed by his individualism. Excellent indeed. The two of you are not to interfere in the sparring later. You said it yourself.
Of course. I said I am neutral. That’s what I want to hear. Brother Yao, Quanzhen Sect and Seven Freaks of Jiangnan offended you. As a martial arts master, it’d be shameful to join in. Leave them to me. You can just watch. Old scumbag, It’s the 15th today. Time to settle our scores.
I’ll take all of you on then. Old Venom is out to eradicate the Quanzhen Sect. Brother Qi, won’t you step in? It’s not within my means. I’ll just keep my promise. The fate of Quanzhen Sect lies in the hands of your son-in-law, My disciple. If Jing’er should interfere.
Ouyang Feng would be no match for the Formation either. Otherwise, they’ll be in trouble. Guo Jing is still an immature lad. The Quanzhen Sect will have to depend on his decisiveness. If Wang Chongyang were watching this, he would feel helpless too. You’ve been speaking of revenge,
Yet you tremble at the sight of your father’s murderer. Traitor! Scum, it’s payback time for my brother’s death! Your Highness, run! Protect His Highness! Release the arrows upon my command. Yes. Swordsman Ke. Why are you the only one left amongst the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan? You blind man! You’re a cunning one!
To think Chief Peng is so cunning too. Little Demoness, why are you shielding the blind man? It’s none of your business! Little Demoness, I don’t need you to save me! Father, look after this blind man. I’ll help Brother Jing out. Little Demoness! Who needs you to bother about my affairs?
You fool! Forget Iit! I should have let Qiu Qianren kill me in one blow to save the trouble. I might as well die in your hands. To hell with you! Watch out! I’m the only one left. What’s the point of living on? Excellent! Let your disciples accompany you in death.
What an exciting scene! Who will fight with me? Elder Zhou… Elder Zhou… Elder Zhou, it really is you. Weren’t you killed by Old Evil Huang? Who said I’m dead? Old Evil Huang has been after my life for years, but to no avail. Old Evil Huang, come, let’s spar. Old Evil Huang,
You’re bragging again, right? Are you bragging? Botong, these rascals from Quanzhen blame me for bringing you harm. They want to avenge you. Do harm to me? Are you capable of that? Come, do harm to me! Elder Zhou, kill Ouyang Feng first. Old Imp, you’re no match for Old Evil Huang.
Run for your life! I’m not his match? You’re wrong! Old Imp, don’t you feel ashamed using the Jiuyin Manual’s skills… to spar with my father? Skills from jiuyin Manual? Open your eyes wide! This is Kongming Punch, the skill I invented on my own. Old Imp, stop it or I shall divulge your secrets.
What seecrets? The mandarin ducks fly wing to wing. All right, stop it. I will listen to you. Kill Old Venom now! Old Venom, where are you? What a mist! Senior Qiu, where are you? Are you all right, Father? I’m fine, Rong’er. Brother Jing, Brother Jing… Father, I’m going to look for Brother Jing.
Brother Jing, Brother Jing… Why are you calling my name? I will not reply you again. Rascal! Don’t push your luck too far! Qigong. What should we do? Keep calm. Don’t let the traitors escape! Qigong, the Jins and corrupted officers from Jiaxing Prefecture are coming from the east with their troops.
Let’s kill them in one fell swoop! It’s a trap laid down by the Jins, Ouyang Feng and Song troops. We’ll retreat north. Release the arrows! To the south! Follow closely! Emit the poison. Be careful. The smoke is toxic. To the west. To the west! Don’t bother about me! Jing’er, let’s go.
Snakes! Venomous snakes here! Turn around! The ground is filled with venomous snakes. We can’t make it. We’ve been trapped. Little Demoness, hand me the bamboo pole. No. Run away with me amidst the smoke! Rong’er, he is right. Give it. Let’s go. Father. Seize the traitors! Don’t let them flee! Who are you?
Quick, follow me. Over my dead body! Who are you? Chief Huang or Chief Hong? Show yourself if you’re a true hero. Who are you? I am Zhou Botong. Excuse me, please take a look. My honour. I am Iron Palm, the Water Skater. Brother, help to see if there are any more snakes around.
Many of them! Brother Zhou, may we meet again. Drop by at Iron Palm Peak sometime, I take my leave. Don’t go. So many snakes? They love to eat Old Imp’s flesh! Miss Huang, let’s bury our hatchet. You may go. Just take it that I am dead. But you aren’t dead!
You are still alive. I also want to seek revenge! Little Demoness, what are you up to? Excuse me… Little Demoness! Little Demoness! Master… Master… Qigong, Qigong… Great. At least we have the young one in place of the old one. Where’s my master? He’s long dead. He either has his body torn apart,
Or pierced by arrows. Why are you looking for him? Kang’er, keep an eye on him. I’ll go after the rest. Yes, Uncle Ouyang. Ouyang Feng, If you wish to kill my master, kill me first. Hum. Good. A grateful child indeed. Since you can’t become Old Evil Huang’s son-in-law,
I can take you in as my disciple. We’ll discuss this when I return. Congratulations, Brother Guo. You will soon become the disciple of Ouyang Feng. This is the third time, right? You weren’t killed at Lin’an Palace. Neither were you at Xuanyuan Pavilion. What about this time? Rascals, move it! Faster! Hurry up.
Who is it? This is him, Carry him. Go on! Carry him! All right! Miss, don’t hit us! Little Demoness, Walk faster! what are you up to again? Show me all your tricks! Shut up! Dream on! Another word from you and I’ll give you a slap! If word should get out,
It’ll get very interesting.
