Fireworks! So beautiful.

Slow down, Ruohua.

It's beautiful.

I specially brought you

from Lin'an a whole cart

of frame fireworks and potted fireworks.

I love you, Father.

Another year older.

Ruohua, may you have lasting joy and peace.

What color is that?

- There's blue. - What else?

Also yellow and bright red.

(The Legend of Heroes)

=Duel on Mount Hua=

(Adapted from Jin Yong's novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes)

=Nine Yin True Sutra= =Episode 4=

I can sense

the cold poison in you

seems to have weakened.

(Heroes' Haven, Land of Blessings) Yeah, I feel it too.

It seems completely cured.

That's wonderful.

More importantly,

you won't need to activate

the Solar Mantra for me so often.

Your risk of qi deviation is reduced.

I can rest easy.

Yaoshi,

let's take a walk by the sea.

Let's go for a walk

outside Taohua Island.

No.

You're too tired.

The island has the scenery

of all seasons

that far surpasses the world beyond.

Still, let's go out.

If not for Chaofeng,

we'd still be in the lands of Qi and Lu.

Whenever possible,

I want

to take you to every foot

and every inch

of this world.

You'll taste all delicacies

and experience all wonders.

Use all that can be used

and what cannot.

Pursue all that can be pursued

and what cannot.

Life is long.

Having you makes it great.

My wife and I

plan to take a trip.

While I'm away,

practice diligently.

- Lingfeng. - Yes?

Take good care of them.

Yes.

Master,

I want to leave too.

Leave the island?

To do what?

I've learned skills.

I want to see the world.

Chaofeng is right.

We've learned skills from you.

If we don't test them,

wouldn't that be a waste?

Master,

could you take us with you this time?

Yes, Master.

That way, during the journey,

we can help take care of you and Madam.

Unnecessary.

When I was young,

I was just like you.

Seeing a mountain,

I'd wonder

what lay behind it.

Seeing the sea,

I'd wonder

what existed on the other side.

But when I reached those places,

I realized

the former side was actually better.

But you surely

won't believe these words.

You're all too young.

Without truly

trying things for yourselves,

how could you ever be content?

When you've circled the world

and return to where you began,

I hope you can still find

the path you once took.

Senior,

what does that mean?

You don't get it?

Master agreed

to let you come along.

Really?

Of course.

Go back and train hard.

So should I go

or not?

Mother?

Father?

Mother?

Yunhai?

You treacherous schemer.

All these years

of trusting you!

I'll kill you!

Dear.

Dear!

Dear!

We treated you like family.

You! You ungrateful...

Dear!

Dear...

Mother!

Mother.

Ruohua.

Mother.

Ruohua... R-Ruo...

Mother.

Ruohua.

Mother!

Mother!

Stop.

Father!

Ruohua.

Father!

Let her go!

Let her go.

She is your beloved treasure.

How could I just kill her outright?

I'll sell her

to the lowest brothel,

where she'll suffer a fate worse than death.

You beast!

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Xuanfeng,

why are you here?

So you're leaving.

Daring to defy Master's orders?

I must go.

To where?

To seek vengeance.

Have you considered

what if you fail?

Xuanfeng,

don't stop me.

We only live once.

Rather than hesitating,

I'll risk everything.

Even when hitting the wall?

I'll smash right through it.

I'll go with you.

(Yunji Tavern)

Pendants! Pendants!

Take a look at the pendants!

(Qunfang Pavilion)

How dare you run!

Crying? What good is crying?

Let me teach you a lesson!

Try escaping again!

Huh?

Still your old self,

finding joy in tormenting women.

Mei Ruohua?

You're still alive?

Mei Ruohua is dead.

Now,

I am Mei Chaofeng.

Whatever!

You're dead!

Seize them!

Xuanfeng,

let me handle this.

Get them!

How many have suffered from these hands of yours?

I think

they shouldn't remain.

Spare me!

Spare me. Spare me.

Where's Qiu Yunhai?

Hero Qiu?

He's not a 'hero'!

N-Not my words.

Everyone says it,

calling him a generous, righteous hero.

Exactly.

Manor Lord Qiu

is truly the noble hero.

Elsewhere I can't vouch,

but in our territory,

if he's second to none,

no one dares to claim first place.

Manor lord?

Yunhai Manor

is righteous

and calculates every advantage for the heroes.

Qiu Yunhai is the manor lord.

Yunhai Manor?

It's fifty li outside the city.

Fifty li.

Candied hawthorn berries!

Candied hawthorn berries!

Candied hawthorn berries!

(Calligraphy & Painting Shop) Take a look!

A stable is ahead.

Let's go there

to buy two horses.

In a couple of hours,

we'll reach Yunhai Manor.

Xuanfeng.

What's wrong?

Prepare some provisions.

I'll go to the stable.

Let's split up.

Are you trying to ditch me

and go to Yunhai Manor alone?

I never imagined Qiu Yunhai

would amass such power.

This journey's dangerous.

I won't involve you.

I won't stop you.

But I won't let you face it alone.

Either come with me,

or I follow you.

I'll go with you.

Let's go to the stable.

Chaofeng, don't worry.

With us working together,

we'll surely kill Qiu Yunhai

and avenge your family.

After that, you'll return to Taohua Island with me.

We must let Master...

Xuanfeng,

shall we race to see

who reaches Yunhai Manor first?

Good picking.

I could ride and shoot at six

and gallop freely by nine.

No other Chens could match me.

Giddyup.

Chaofeng!

Go.

Chaofeng!

What did you do to my horse?

(Yunhai Manor)

Manor Lord Qiu,

your boldness in slaughtering Mei Manor

was truly admirable.

These past few days

you've been

courting local power

and expanding impact.

The sect leader praises

your capabilities.

The sect first taught me arts

to enhance my power,

and then sent reinforcements

to strengthen my forces.

All resources come from the sect.

About recruiting martial artists

to aid the Jin invasion south,

how are preparations?

Rest assured.

With the sect's support,

I've networked with martial artists,

penetrated all government levels,

and built an intelligence network.

Good.

Keep recruiting martial artists

and gathering intel.

Await the sect's orders

to strike.

Understood.

(Yunhai Manor)

Qiu Yunhai,

get out now!

It's you.

Not dead yet?

How could I die

before killing you?

You've become Eastern Evil's disciple?

A dying man

needs no answers.

I'll show you

who's truly dying.

Even in inner strength,

I won't lose.

Look at your palms.

Let me enlighten you.

The more you exert,

the deeper

the poison spreads,

and the faster you die.

You despicable villain.

This is the world.

Where's your street smarts?

Now with severed meridians,

you're just a cripple.

You're like a pathetic worm.

I could crush you under my heel.

Qiao Si!

After them.

The Mei family members

must be eradicated.

Understood.

Chaofeng.

Xuanfeng,

I'm sorry.

Chaofeng, don't be afraid.

I've used Nine-Flower Dew Pill

to suppress your poison.

This is all my fault for being stubborn

and dragging you into danger with me.

You feared involving me.

So you acted alone.

But did you think

I actually feared being involved?

Do you regret it?

He slaughtered my entire family,

taking everything from me.

I practice diligently

every day,

all to

avenge my family soon.

I lost this battle,

but

I don't regret it.

Nor will I ever

give up.

Xuanfeng,

Qiu Yunhai

severed all my meridians.

Am I now

a complete cripple?

My skills are basic.

But Master will know how to help.

Let's go.

Let's return to Taohua Island.

Let's go.

Yaoshi,

do you prefer a boy or a girl?

You...

Do you prefer a boy or a girl?

I like both.

I want a little boy.

Why?

Because I want to see

your childhood appearance.

Then I want a little girl.

Why?

Because I also want to see

your childhood appearance.

Then what name would you

give our child?

I'm not sure.

What do you think?

If it's a boy,

I'd name him Chaosheng.

Chaosheng?

And if it's a girl?

For a girl,

I hope she'll be elegant and independent,

pure and natural like a lotus bloom.

Then perhaps

let's name her Rong.

Rong?

It means budding lotus flower.

Truly a fine name.

Yaoshi,

in the future,

I want to personally sew clothes

for Rong

and take her to Luori Cliff

to fly kites together.

We'll also make her

delicious snacks.

Teach her all the dishes

you know how to cook.

Fun! Fun! So fun!

Zhou Botong.

- You take your road. - Stop.

I rob my way.

Our paths never cross.

Why destroy my mountain gate?

What authority do you have

to dare spout such arrogance?

You set up checkpoints to rob travelers.

Today, if I don't make you four kneel

(Zhou Botong) and call me 'Grandpa' three times,

I won't be Zhou Botong.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Heretic Huang, who asked you to interfere?

If I relied on your help

to defeat them,

how could I let them call me 'Grandpa'?

You enjoy intervening.

Then let's have a fight first.

What's this martial art?

It's so domineering.

I...

Not suitable for you.

It will change you and cause qi deviation.

- It clashes with your old cultivation. - You...

You must use another method to suppress it.

- I... - I know which method can counteract it.

Do you want to know?

You.

What happened to your hand?

It's injured.

They hurt you?

Them?

My skills surpass theirs.

I hurt it days ago while playing with mud and pee.

Mud and pee?

Don't you pee or play with mud?

Back to business.

Nine Yin True Sutra

is the best

counteractive method.

But I can't give it to you.

I'm not asking for it.

I can't give it to you.

My current mission

is entrusted by my senior to hide the second volume

of Nine Yin True Sutra.

Where are those four?

They ran away long ago.

The wife you married

in the Duel on Mount Hua

is her, right?

Gorgeous! Stunning!

Taohua Island.

If I had your

Soft Hedgehog Armor

against hidden weapons,

I would've taken them down.

In a real battle,

they're no match for you, Mr. Zhou.

In a real battle,

no one could be a match for me.

Old Wacko, I'm busy.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

To Kuizhou.

Not far ahead,

there's a Hupan Inn,

the best inn in the area.

I'm staying there.

I'll go pack my things

and handle business at Mount Yandang.

If you're not in a hurry,

wait for me in the inn.

We'll have a proper fight.

I'm leaving.

Yaoshi,

was Zhou Botong telling the truth?

Can Nine Yin True Sutra counter

Solar Mantra?

Perhaps.

Leave him be.

Let's go to the Hupan Inn.

Let's go.

Not fun.

A nine-link puzzle?

I'm the best at it.

You are so good?

Then why don't we

make a bet?

What's the wager?

Let's bet on

who can solve this nine-linked puzzle

within five minutes.

Five minutes?

What if I win?

Quanzhen Sect has treasures.

And so does Taohua Island.

The impenetrable Soft Hedgehog Armor?

Do you want it?

Yes.

Let me see.

If I win it,

I'll wear it over my clothes

and swagger through the martial world,

making all heroes know

that Taohua Island

has fallen into Zhou Botong's hands.

Let's compete.

Come on. Let's start.

What's the rush?

I haven't finished speaking.

Speak quickly! Quickly!

And if you lose,

what then?

I don't have any impervious treasures.

No need.

Just like you,

I only like new, fun things.

I heard you have a sutra

called Nine Yin True Sutra. It's formidable.

If I win,

lend it to me for a look.

No way.

I don't know any martial arts at all.

I'm just curious.

I won't practice the techniques in it.

Take it back. I won't play.

I'll play marbles.

So you don't dare to compete.

In martial arts,

you lost to my husband, Huang Yaoshi.

In strategies,

you fear his wife.

Who fears?

Come on. Let's compete.

I'll definitely win.

Bring it on.

You can say 'begin.'

Let's begin.

No peeking.

Cheating now?

(Nine Yin True Sutra) How could I lose?

(Heaven's way reduces excess to fill lack.)

How could I lose?

How far have you read?

(Nine Yin True Sutra)

Wait, didn't you just want a look?

Hurry up, will you?

(Nine Yin True Sutra) If my hand wasn't injured,

I would've surely beaten you.

After my hand heals, we'll compete again.

(Harmonization required) Please stop, okay?

I'm talking to you.

Stop looking at it.

(Nine Yin True Sutra) If my senior brother finds out

that someone has seen it,

he'll definitely be furious.

He'll ignore me

or take my martial arts.

What should I do?

So annoying.

Mr. Zhou,

have you fallen

for West Venom's trick?

This book

doesn't look like

Nine Yin True Sutra.

It seems more like

a fortune-telling manual.

I won't be fooled by you.

You and Heretic Huang are both cunning tricksters.

Trying to trick me again?

I read divination books

like this for fun when I was five.

Most children in Jiangnan

can recite them by heart.

Want me to recite it for you?

Go ahead.

Heaven's way

reduces excess to fill lack.

Thus emptiness overcomes fullness,

and lack overcomes excess.

Its meaning is vast.

(Nine Yin True Sutra) Its principles are profound.

(Heaven's way reduces excess to fill lack.) Its essence is deep.

Heaven and earth divide.

Yin and yang unfold.

Transformation manifests.

Life and death become clear.

Take any page from it

and test me.

With the first line.

I'll recite the rest.

Books memorized since childhood

stay with you till old age.

Here.

Recite.

Yin peaks at six. Why speak of nine?

From Taiji spring Yin and Yang. Cosmos dawned in primal division.

Stinky toad!

He swapped the Nine Yin True Sutra.

My senior brother

used his last breath

to protect this manual.

Yet still,

we fell for Ouyang Feng's trick.

Mr. Zhou,

why did you destroy it?

What use is keeping a fake?

I'll go to Western Regions to reclaim the real Nine Yin True Sutra.

Mr. Zhou!

Heng,

why did you come here alone?

Are you okay?

Soft Hedgehog Armor?

I planned to show it

to Zhou Botong.

But I said the wrong thing.

So he got angry and left.

He's like a child.

Don't pay him any mind.

Yaoshi...

That familiar feeling has returned.

Am I having another episode?

Yaoshi?

I'm fine.

I thought I had already recovered.

Tinder Flower

treats the symptoms,

not the root cause.

You've known all along.

The fetus inside you

is competing for your yang energy.

Yin and yang are unbalanced.

From now on,

your episodes will only become more frequent.

We can't

keep this child.

No.

Heaven has shown mercy,

giving me the chance to be a mother.

I can't lose it.

Yaoshi,

didn't you say

you wanted

a little girl like me?

We'd teach her to read and write together

and fly kites with her on Taohua Island.

Or

it could be

a little boy like you.

You'd teach him martial arts.

Wouldn't it be great?

Yaoshi.

Let's take this risk once more.

Perhaps

both the child and I can pull through.

If we don't keep this child,

I'll regret it forever.

We're not going

to Kuizhou.

Let's

go home.

(Heroes' Haven, Land of Blessings)

Master!

Master!

Master!

What's wrong with Madam?

It's the cold poison.

- Mianfeng, prepare the decoction. - Right away.

Lingfeng, start the fire.

Where's Chaofeng?

And where's Xuanfeng?

Xuanfeng and Chaofeng

have disappeared.

How could they disappear?

Ever since you left the island,

they have disappeared.

We've searched all over the island

but haven't found them.

All of you get out.

Yaoshi.

Master!

Master!

Chaofeng!

Chaofeng!

Chaofeng!

Master,

please save Chaofeng.

I beg you to save her!

Yaoshi,

I'm all right.

Help Chaofeng first.

Xuanfeng, Madam's cold syndrome has returned.

I'm fine.

Help Chaofeng first.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Yaoshi, are you all right?

I'm perfectly fine.

What about Chaofeng?

Her life is saved.

But her legs are crippled.

Rest well.

I

will go to Qingyin Cave.

Master,

how is Chaofeng exactly?

Help her back

and let her recuperate properly.
