The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2017)

Episode 40

[ Taoyuan County ]

Ahead is Taoyuan County. I can open the white bag.

Follow the route on the map to reach a stream

with a thatched hut beside it. Open the red bag there.

Go. Go.

This is the place.

I can open the red bag.

"In this world, only Emperor Duan can save her."

Emperor Duan? Isn't that South Emperor's name?

Isn't Emperor Duan ruler of Dali?

To go to Dali is very far. How to go in 3 days?

Don't fret. There's more.

"Emperor Duan isolated himself; he's hard to meet."

"A Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer and Scholar will attack you."

"Say Hong Qigong sent you to seek an audience."

"When you meet, give him the painting in the yellow bag."

"It's the only hope."

Why's seeking his aid taboo

or incur being attacked?

I can't answer that.

- We can only do as written. - But... - What's up?

We must lie in Qigong's name to meet Emperor Duan.

But I don't want to lie to him.

But if I don't lie, he mightn't aid you. What to do?

Jing, meeting your honest, good self is God's blessing.

Don't fuss. Talk as you want.

OK then.

Let's walk.

Little Red Horse, wait here.

Go.

Jing, look.

'Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, Scholar".

He fishes while blocking the way.

He won't be an easy opponent.

Rong'er. Come.

What's this fish?

I waited all day. The fish almost took the bait.

You scared him. Jin-wawa is hard to catch.

Jin-wawa? What's a Jin-wawa (Golden Baby/Salamander)?

In a village, if there are poisonous insects,

Jin-wawa eat the insects.

And only Jin-wawa can kill poisonous insects.

Jin-wawa is a golden fish.

My home has several pair. They're not rare.

Your home has a few Jin-wawa? Not just one pair?

Don't lie.

Real or not, see at my house.

Where's your house?

Neither near nor far.

- 1000 to 1500 miles away. - Lass, you swindle me, huh?

- Why are you here? - We want to meet Emperor Duan.

- What do you want? - We...

So you seek Master's treatment.

Go home. I won't let you pass.

Senior. This is Isle Master's daughter and Hong Qigong's Student.

Qigong appointed her as Beggar Clan Chief.

Please respect those two Elders. Let us meet Emperor Duan.

You mean, this lady is the new Beggar Clan Chief?

I don't believe it.

Senior, this Beggar Chief's Dog Beating Stick.

- You'd recognise it. - Elder Hong sent you two?

Correct. We were told to meet Emperor Duan

on important matters.

Elder Hong sent you to meet him?

Yes.

Emperor Duan, not someone else?

Honestly, there's no Emperor Duan here.

- You lie. - Believe it or not, you can't pass.

Jin-wawa came out again.

- Jing, catch it to play with. - OK.

- Jing, give it to me. - OK.

It's slippery. Sir Fisherman, quickly help here.

Let's go.

Jing, break the bridge.

Dragon Seen in Field

Lad, you cheated.

Despicable. I won't let you go.

- Take care of your fish. Don't let him run away. - You!

If I'm uncured, here's a nice grave.

Rong'er, don't talk rot.

If it happens, as long as you visit me often,

- I'm satisfied. - Rong'er, don't talk rot.

On that day, I won't live alone in the world.

Jing. Your words like this satisfy me.

Jing, it seems a dead end.

"Broken cities, where are heroes"

"Can dragon in cloud explain?"

"Prosperity and decline"

"Dynasties rose and fell"

"Way of the world is an ever changing cloud"

"Illness is Heaven's doing"

"Cures are Heaven's doing"

Rong'er, what's this poem mean?

It may mean misfortunes in this vast world

are like smoke blowing away.

- Jing, let me down. - OK.

"Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, Student."

Looks like he's Woodcutter?!

Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, Student, will be Duan's disciples.

This Woodcutter's poem recital had strong inner power.

His wugong's not weak.

Will Farmer and Student be like this?

Jing, I have an idea.

What idea?

You know why he's busy gathering wood and ignoring us?

People who get here passed Fisherman.

Woodcutter thinks we're passing through here

with Fisherman's permission.

So he pretended not to see us.

He shouldn't be alert to us.

If we can stir his heart, he'll let us through.

But we don't know how to please him.

This guy must be a retired General.

He must've been prominent.

I can praise his poetry, not his image and wealth.

Cutting wood in secluded mountains makes him happy.

Rong'er, you're so clever.

"Winds gather"

"Waves billow"

"Mountains and rivers on Tongguan road"

"Look to the west with doubts"

"Grieving Qin and Han Dynasties"

"Palaces turned to dust"

"Flourished; common people suffered"

"Perished; commoners suffered"

Good verse.

What's so good?

"Green mountains, white clouds in love"

"Not dreaming of robes and gold"

"Wild flowers bloom, one thatched hut"

"Why worry who flourished or perished?"

"A humble path is enough"

"Poor; spirit won't change. Success; will won't change"

"Merit or name won't last"

Why are you here?

Uncle, we came up for mountain scenery.

Fisherman directed us here.

But it's a dead end.

Please, Uncle, direct us.

The only way up is there.

If you're great, go up alone.

"Where are those who struggled?"

"Victory, turned to dust"

"Defeat, turned to dust"

Jing.

- According to him, I don't need healing. - Why?

Everyone dies.

If healed, I'll turn to dust. If not healed, I'll turn to dust.

Don't heed him. Emperor Duan will cure you.

Alive, you carry me. Dead, you carry me.

- Jing, don't move. - Rong'er, don't fear. I'm here.

Jing, let me go.

This rattan won't hold us.

We'll fall together.

Rong'er, hold tight. Don't let go.

I'll take you up.

Jing, let me go.

You must live.

Rong'er, tie us together with a thin vine. Hurry.

I don't want to.

If you die, I won't live. Hear me.

- I...I won't. - Didn't you say-

Alive, I carry you.

Dead, I also carry you.

So, dead or alive, I'll still carry you.

Rong'er.

Hug me tightly.

~ confused love and hate, lonely smile ~

~ stars bind us in mystery ~

~ numerous heroes are competing ~

~ seal the soul of my sword ~

~ with a roaring sound ~

~ shed fate's wrappings ~

~ the stars impel a proud hero ~

~ numerous heroes are competing ~

~ seal the soul of my roaring sword ~

~ with a roaring sound ~

Uncle.

Why are you lifting rocks?

The rock fell from above. If I don't hold it, my ox can die.

I was ploughing.

I'm not strong anymore. Little bro, hurry, help me.

OK.

Rong'er, wait here.

Jing.

Come on, Bro. I'll lead the ox away.

Jing.

Why do this?

Uncle, why do this?

I should ask you.

Jing kindly helped you yet you did this.

You came to beg for Master's cure.

No need to say it. I see it.

Uncle, if you know, release us.

My Sister is gravely hurt, can't last long.

It's because she's gravely ill, I won't let her pass.

Little bro, great inner power. Talk! Who's your Teacher?

My Teacher is Hong Qigong.

- Hong Qigong? - Teacher has arrived.

Stinky lass, you tricked me.

You lied first. Jing, let's go.

Come back.

- I'll sort you out. - Your strength has no problems.

Sit down.

We've seen no other way.

I think it's the only way up the mountain.

"Write on striking drums"

"Love is gone"

This must be the Student.

- Jing, let's meet him. - OK.

"Drink happily"

Senior.

Please direct me up the mountain.

"Spring evening, garments ready"

"5 or 6 in hats, 6 or 7 children"

Senior, I want to ascend the mountain. Please show the way.

"River bathing, dancing breeze"

"Wind carried song"

Rong er, what to do?

Reading Confucian Analects

without understanding its deep meaning is useless.

What deep meaning? Please explain.

Kong Qiu (Confucius) had how many disciples?

Easy. Kong had 3000; with 72 best students.

72 were old and young.

How many were old? How many young?

Analects don't mention this. It was never recorded.

I said you lacked understanding. Was I wrong?

I heard you read

"5 or 6 in hats"

"6 or 7 children"

5 X 6 = 30 adults.

6 X 7 = 42 young ones.

Add those two. Not more or less than 72.

Your answer is interesting.

OK, I'll give you one test question.

If you can answer, I'll give way.

If you can't answer, return where you came from.

- Senior, please. - Complete this couplet.

"Qin se phi pha (4 characters/stringed instruments) all heads adorned by 8 big kings"

"Qin se phi pha, all heads adorned by 8 big kings"

- It's a good verse. - Miss, please solve it.

We agreed, if you fail,

- you two go home. - Wait.

- You solved it? - That was easy to solve.

But my answer will offend Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, Student.

I fear you'll be angry.

Completing this verse isn't easy.

If you can solve it, why'd I be angry?

Educated people should be great.

If so, forgive me.

This is the next line.

Mountain Elf, Demon, Elf, Fairy: 4 little 'demons' with bellies.

Mountain Elf, Demon, Elf, Fairy: 4 little 'demons' with bellies.

Superb.

Well done.

We four Brothers hindered your ascending the mountain.

Miss, you're so clever. I admire you.

Please.

Senior, a broken bridge faces us. Please show another way.

If the heart has a bridge, the foot must have its way.

Miss is still so young, but already so talented.

I'm amazed.

You two, please.

Fear nothing.

- Carry me. We'll go. - OK.

Thanks, Senior.

Come, Rong'er.

Jing, don't fear. Walk.

OK.

"Among dark green trees"

"and vast water, from clouds"

"resurgence is nowhere"

"life cycle perished"

Rong er, it's a temple?

Two guests from afar; why?

We seek Emperor Duan.

Please help, Young Monk.

Emperor Duan? Duan is dead.

- What did you say? - Duan isn't here.

- He's not in this world. - Emperor Duan is gone?

It can't be. No way. Can't be.

Young Monk, you lied?

A monk mustn't lie.

Why?

Why's it so?

- What about Rong'er? - Jing, calm down.

Don't blame Young Monk.

No. I can't just give up.

Rong'er, let's go.

- Go where? - We'll go back down.

This world has great physicians and good medicine to heal you.

Jing, I have no more time.

No. We'll descend now. There's a hope.

Rong'er.

Rong'er.

Jing, this is my destiny.

You can accompany me on the way. I am very happy.

Here far from chaos, I may rest to the end of life.

You two, please come in.

You two, you may rest here tonight.

- Thank, Young Monk. - You two, goodbye.

Come, Rong'er.

I'll channel you energy.

Jing.

There's no point.

Don't waste your energy

or you will deplete your own bodily strength.

As long as you get better, I'll do anything.

Rong'er.

Rong'er, how are you? What happened?

Rong'er, talk.

Speak. Quickly.

Jing.

This time I....

can't make it.

No, there's a way.

You're smart. You know how.

From now...

maybe...

there's no way.

Can't stay with you.

Jing.

Don't be sad.

You just hold me tight.

Rong'er.

Jing.

Remember...

when we first met?

I remember. I remember all about us.

I too...all your words to me.

All we did together.

Rong'er, don't talk.

Rong'er...

remember too.

Jing.

Don't cry.

Actually it's better this way.

At least I can die in your arms.

Jing.

I'm tired.

I want to sleep a while.

But remember.

Remember to wake me

because...

because I...

want to stay with you longer.

Buddhist good luck 'Sauwastika'

God.

Mom told me as a child,

evil reaps karma, good is rewarded.

Though Rong'er is a bit naughty,

she's never done evil to people.

God.

Why let Rong'er die?

If she's fated to die,

why let us come here?

If you let us get here,

I beg you.

I'm begging you,

give Rong'er a chance to live.

I beg you.

God.

Please.

Please save Rong'er.

Please save Rong'er.

Take my life instead.

I'll die for Rong'er.

God.

I beg you.

Please let me do something for Rong'er.

Rong'er.

Amituofo (Buddha bless).

Please stand.

I am Yideng, the Duan emperor. You sought me.

You're not dead. You're Eemperor Duan.

Emperor Duan left this world.

There is only Yideng.

Please, Great Master, save Rong'er.

Great Master.

Senior Ying Gu sent this.

She said it's for you.

She sent it to provoke me for fear I won't treat you.

She did this drawing to challenge me.

She sees me as too mean.

Great Master.

Does curing Rong'er need an elixir?

No need. Here, lass.

I'll check your pulse first.

Great Master, how is Rong'er?

The injury reached the five major organs.

I beg you, save Rong'er.

Be calm.

I'll heal the injury.

- Stand up. - Thanks, Great Master.

Master, don't.

Master, we disciples worry for your health.

Master, let us four Brothers unite to heal this wound.

You all have the skill? You can wholly cure her?

- Disciples will try. - Pigheads.

Life matters. Don't try.

Evil people must've sent them. Don't get trapped.

Don't discuss it.

These honoured guests are Qigong's Students.

This lass is Bro Yaoshi's daughter.

Even if an injured stranger begged me,

I've no reason to refuse aid.

A monk shouldn't lose his conscience.

- But, Master... - Don't talk.

You all leave.

You guard here.

Let no other person in.

Even my disciples can't enter.

This lass's life depends on it.

Remember that.

I'll remember.

Lass, don't fear.

You must be relaxed.

Whatever hurts or itches, you must not resist.

Uncle, relax.

I considered myself dead. I won't move.

Yang Solitary Finger'

(sealing acupoints, 8 Major Channels)

Rong'er.

- Great Master, how's Rong'er? - Master, how are you?

Rong'er.

Rong'er.

Volcano? Ice?

What volcano? What ice?

Jing.

I was dreaming...

I was in a volcano,

then cooled on ice.

Sometimes I felt hot

or my body was cold.

Lass, you're cured.

Rest a day or two to feel better.

Great Master, our hearts will never forget.

Thanks, Uncle.

Jing'er.

You are very faithful unto life and death.

I am reaping what I sowed.

To cure you, Master's wugong is all gone.

It needs 5 years to recover.

Great Master, is it true?

Miss's injury was severe.

He used 'Yang Solitary Finger' and 'Innate Energy'

to open 8 main Channel acupoints to cure you.

Using his wugong gravely injured him.

He used 5 years of energy.

For 5 years, he must meditate day and night.

One mistake will wipe out his wugong

and he may be paralysed or die.

Uncle, I really didn't know. How can I repay you?

Who told you to come here?

- Ying Gu. - It's her.

I finally understand the three bags.

It turns out if Uncle helped me, his body will be injured.

Ying Gu's drawing comes from Great Buddhist Scripture.

A king named Shipi was a diligent ascetic practitioner.

A hawk chased a pigeon.

The pigeon hid under Shipi's arm.

The hawk told King Shipi...

"If you save the pigeon,"

"I'll starve to death".

Shipi cut his own flesh for the hawk.

Then the hawk told the king

his flesh must weigh the same as the pigeon.

King Shipi took a scale

to balance his flesh and the pigeon.

But the pigeon weighed more.

King Shipi cut his chest, his back,

his shoulders,

his ribs.

But his cut flesh weighed less than the pigeon.

Finally King Shipi

put his whole body on the scales.

I still don't see.

Why'd Ying Gu send Great Master this drawing?

She used it to manipulate Uncle to heal me.
