=Episode 17=

A few days ago,

I received

a message from Ouyang Ke's pigeon.

I hurried here

but I was still too late.

I am truly ashamed.

Ke told me about your great talents.

But now, my only concern

is finding a famous doctor to cure Ke,

nothing else.

As for the Book of Wumu,

I really can't help you.

Mr. Ouyang, that's not right.

What I want

is what you want.

Mr. Ouyang,

do you know about the Book of Wumu?

Yue Fei was not only a military genius,

but also a martial arts master.

The Yue Palm he passed down

is also extraordinary.

It is said

the book includes martial arts

and military tactics.

You are indeed knowledgeable.

The Song and Mongol people

have repeatedly attacked our Jin

from the south and the north.

We have suffered greatly.

If our Jin

can get the Book of Wumu,

we could defend ourselves

and protect our people

from the slaughter by the Song and Mongol,

bringing peace to the world.

Now,

we have confirmed

the location of the Book of Wumu.

If

you can join us,

we can definitely make it.

I will report to the Emperor

and reward you.

When our Jin unites the country,

Mr. Ouyang,

whether you want the Nine Yin Manual,

the title of the world's greatest,

or to find famous doctors,

you won't need to

struggle personally.

With your help,

it's a great fortune for our Jin.

Master.

Why did Ouyang Feng

rescue us?

He wouldn't save me without a reason.

He must have ulterior motives.

He's not that kind.

Jing.

Since Ouyang Feng kept us here,

he'll come to us soon.

Old Venomous Creature,

you're staring at me.

I'm not feeling well.

No wonder Ouyang Ke

always looks dazed.

It runs in the family!

That's an appreciative look.

Qigong,

it's all my bad.

My competitive nature

nearly cost you

your life.

I'm sorry.

But seeing you

recover quickly

puts my mind at ease.

Do you know what's that for?

The Nine Yin Manual.

You guessed right.

Fortunately, the Nine Yin Manual

is profound.

Thanks to Jing teaching me,

I can still

enjoy my life here.

Qigong,

teach me a bit,

so Ke

can recover too.

You already have

the Nine Yin Manual.

Why do you need us?

The scriptures Nephew Guo gave me

are too obscure.

I understand barely

one or two lines out of ten.

I don't know...

Is this the real scriptures?

What do you mean?

Of course it's real.

Qigong,

explain it to me.

Nephew Guo,

recite it to me,

line by line.

Old Venomous Creature,

the Nine Yin Manual

isn't as simple as a child's book.

We can just recite it.

There are many martial artists on this ship.

You dare let Jing recite it.

What about the eavesdroppers?

You finally got the Nine Yin Manual.

Do you want

even children to recite it?

I've never figured one thing out.

Qigong,

you and he know

the Nine Yin Manual.

Why can't Ke, I and others

know it?

I didn't say you can't.

You have the manual.

Practice it yourself.

Then explain it to me!

Even if Jing recites it,

you won't understand.

Why?

Many parts aren't in the Central Plains dialect.

Can you understand that?

Can you?

For example,

Mahabolo,

Jadi Guro,

Mohanskol,

Kinchehus

and Koshannek,

these are in Tocharian.

In Central Plains language,

it is the section on internal healing

and bone strengthening in the Nine Yin Manual.

If you practice it,

you might save your Ke.

You know Tocharian?

What's strange about that?

Ten years ago,

a Tocharian merchant

passed by Peach Blossom Island

and sold my father many curiosities.

My father invited him to the island

for half a year,

during which he taught my father

Tocharian.

I listened by their side

and learned a bit.

Yaoshi is clever.

So,

if you want to translate

the strange text,

you can ask my father.

No need.

Niece Rong,

you can help me.

I can do that.

But now,

we're on someone else's ship.

I'm afraid they'll harm us.

Old Venomous Creature,

you can take care of us.

You bring us our meals three times a day.

One meal for one page of the manual.

What do you think?

Great!

You eat now.

I'll prepare another meal.

Thank you.

These are salty.

Less salt next time.

Rong,

you even know Tocharian?

I don't.

I lied to him.

But a lie

won't last forever.

This doesn't sound good.

Could it be Ouyang Feng

found out Rong lied

and is here to kill us?

That could happen.

Let's go.

Take the small boat

and row north for two days,

you'll reach the shore.

Aren't you coming with us?

Don't worry about me.

You should go.

Okay.

Take care.

Thank you.

You're leaving without a word?

So rude.

Release the arrows!

- Father, watch out. - Losers! Losers!

Not fun. Not fun.

Brother Zhou?

Brother Guo!

Without you, I'm not happy.

I'm not happy. I'm not happy.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for you.

Luckily,

my senior blessed me

with heavenly protection.

I finally found you. I found you.

- That's great. - Old Imp.

Where have you been?

I've been on the sea,

never left.

And couldn't leave.

Look over there.

You found my ship!

Your ship brought me luck.

It saved me.

Otherwise, I'd be

sun-dried fish by now.

Alright, enough talking.

We're in a fight now.

Right, a fight.

How can a fight be without me?

Come on.

Who will fight me first?

Who's this old man?

Show us your skills

if you have any.

Let us see and learn.

Old man?

Bald head, sink in. Sink in.

Bald head, sink in.

Who's next?

Who's next?

Your Royal Highness,

he's just an old man.

We have more people. We don't fear them.

He's the Old Imp from the Quanzhen School,

Zhou Botong.

He is Wang Chongyang's junior.

You four, don't disgrace yourselves.

Old Venomous Creature,

why are you everywhere?

Everyone wants to be safe.

No need for a deadly fight.

No!

You'll die,

and we'll live.

You're here.

I'll fight you.

Fight me?

If the ship sinks,

neither of us can go.

Wouldn't that be great?

We can all play here.

- Come here! - If you insist on fighting,

I'll see you at Mount Hua next year.

Today,

the Prince will spare you.

Leave now

and don't cause trouble.

Your Royal Highness,

you're letting them go?

Everything follows

Mr. Ouyang's arrangement.

You are done?

Let's fight!

Alright,

that's it.

We'll go.

What do you mean?

Trust me. I'll show you something fun.

What's fun?

Don't talk and follow me.

That will be fun.

Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.

Master hasn't recovered yet.

We'll find another chance.

Okay.

Sharks!

I'm here!

Come here!

Let's go.

- Catch sharks. - Jing.

I know what's on your mind.

You're wondering

if Yang Kang has reasons

for siding with Wanyan Honglie.

You're worrying

that will Wanyan Honglie be angry

with Sister Mu for helping us.

Rong,

I can't hide anything

from you.

I don't believe Yang Kang has reasons.

But I believe

he loves Sister Mu.

As long as he is a prince,

Sister Mu will be fine.

Jing,

you must be tired.

Have some rest.

Okay.

Rong!

Master!

Master.

Do you remember

what Master told you to do?

I remember.

Before July 15th,

I'll take the Dog Beating Staff

and go to Yuezhou as the new master of the Beggars' Gang.

But Master.

We were in an emergency on that island.

So I had to take on this responsibility.

Now everyone is safe.

I'm not fit for this position.

Master, please take charge

of the Beggars' Gang again.

Child,

do you really think

I passed the position to you

just because of the emergency

and my near-death?

Didn't you think

I could have asked you

to pass the Dog Beating Staff

to any elder of the Gang?

Rong.

You're the smartest,

and the most

unselfish person I've met.

You're calm in crises,

a wise person.

Regardless of

my survival,

even in a different time and place,

I would still pass

the leadership to you.

Besides,

in front of the grand master,

I passed the position to you.

This can't be taken back.

You know what.

To my mind,

you take the position

temporarily.

If you're unhappy,

pass it to someone else.

Anyway, I can't control

what happens next.

What do you think,

Master Huang?

Master,

- I... - Great.

Rise up.

Stick with me from now on.

Old Imp!

Give me back Dog Beating Staff!

We're ashore!

Old Imp is finally back!

Despite those punks,

with Mr. Ouyang here,

I feel at ease.

Your Royal Highness,

please allow me to say a few words.

I thought Mr. Ouyang

would teach those thieves a lesson.

But he didn't

dare to make a move.

It seems he fears Old Imp.

Blah, blah, blah.

You haven't had enough of

Zhou Botong's beatings.

Alright. Alright.

You are all Jin's

heroes and guest.

We should get along peacefully.

Mr. Ouyang,

I have a small favor

to ask of you today.

Hope you can agree.

Please tell me.

Kang,

kneel down.

Mr. Ouyang.

I've admired you for a long time.

I wish to be your apprentice

and learn martial arts.

My son has practiced

martial arts since childhood.

But he hasn't had a good teacher.

If you don't mind

and can teach him,

both of us will be

very grateful.

But Mount White Camel has a rule.

I can only teach one apprentice.

I've already taught Ke.

I can't teach you.

Stop!

Who are you?

Guards!

Who's that?

Yaoshi?

Brother Ouyang?

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for my daughter.

Looking for your daughter?

Haven't you seen her?

I haven't either.

Have you seen her?

Who's this?

This is my friend,

Master Huang of Peach Blossom Island.

So you are

the famous

Master Huang of Peach Blossom Island,

Huang Yaoshi.

It's my great honor

to meet you here.

I'll go find my daughter.

Excuse me.

Please wait.

Master Huang,

Are you looking for

a teenage girl?

Have you seen her?

Three days ago,

I saw a floating body in the sea

wearing white

with a gold ring in her hair.

She looked beautiful,

but...

But what?

But she was swollen

from the sea.

Beside her body

were three dead men.

One was a young man

with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

One was an old beggar

with a red gourd tied to his waist.

And an old man

with long beard and hair.

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

Yaoshi,

you got me wrong.

I just got on the ship

and know as much as you do.

So they are Nephew Guo,

Qigong,

and Botong?

Life and death are a natural part of life.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Yaoshi,

I'm sorry!

What a monk.

Time to eat!

- I'll eat. - Master goes first.

- No, I'll go first. - Here, Master.

Here.

Old Imp, just wait a minute.

We also have the grilled fish.

Rong, make it quick. I'm starving.

Master.

Take your time. There's more here.

Master,

are you tired of my Beggar's Chicken?

Of course not.

How could I get tired

of your cooking?

But

I just remembered something.

Rong,

do you know

Five Delicacies Sashimi?

I know it.

But I've never tasted it.

It's a famous dish, only prepared by imperial chefs

for important diplomatic meetings.

That's right. Exactly.

That's easy.

We'll go catch

an imperial chef

and have him cook it for us.

You know nothing.

Do you think I haven't tried that?

Without the palace's pot, stove,

utensils, and ingredients,

it just doesn't

taste the same.

It's awful.

That's magical.

When I was young,

I hid in the palace for three months

just to eat this dish.

But the emperor didn't meet anyone

during those months.

So I never got to taste it.

It's the biggest regret

in my life.

If I could eat it once,

my life would be complete.

Aren't the Mongols and Song

about to form an alliance?

There will be a diplomatic meeting.

Won't they prepare this dish?

Jing,

you're getting smarter.

Yes,

it's a rare chance.

We can go to Lin'an,

sneak into the palace,

and have a taste of it.

You're right.

- Let's go! - Good.

- Good. - Brother Zhou.

Where is Brother Zhou?

Brother Zhou!

Where is my Dog Beating Staff?

Rong! What a coincidence.

Old Imp,

did you

forget something?

No.

Old Imp always

travels light.

I didn't forget something.

But thank you.

I mean,

did you forget to

return something to me?

Rong,

don't wrongly accuse me.

When did I take your stuff?

You want me to search you?

Search me!

Search me. Go ahead.

When did I take your stuff?

Dog Beating Staff?

When did you put it on me?

I didn't even know.

Take it back.

I've been away from home for 15 years.

I'll go back to Zhongnan Mountain.

Are you going now?

You have the Dog Beating Staff.

What do you want from me?

I want to settle accounts with you.

Fine, let's settle them.

Did you frame Jing,

so my father didn't agree to our marriage?

Yes.

But it's not all my fault.

Not your fault?

Let's continue.

Did you insist on boarding

my father's flower boat,

causing Qigong and Jing

to be in danger with you?

They wanted to board.

Not all my fault.

It's your fault!

Everything you did

put us in danger.

And,

did you take

my Dog Beating Staff?

Luckily, I got it back in time.

I just

borrowed it for fun.

Now it's with you.

I'm leaving.

Go ahead.

I'll spread the word

in the martial world,

saying Zhou Botong of Quanzhen School

is a rogue.

Then everyone will

despise you.

Sister Rong,

I'm not a rogue.

Don't slander me

in the martial world.

Dog Beating Staff is with you.

What more do you want?

Master is still injured.

If you come with us

to the palace,

protect us,

and let Master eat Five Delicacies Sashimi,

we'll call it even.

Deal?

No.

Not a deal!

I've suffered too much!

I was trapped

on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years.

I finally

got out of Old Heretic Huang.

Now you want to

trap me again?

No way.

I won't go! I won't go!

No matter what you say,

I won't go. I won't go!

I'll go.

Don't spread the word.

Deal.

(Niujia Village)

Old beggar, I'll get you the delicacy!

Master, it's late today.

We probably can't

enter Lin'an.

This place looks nice.

Shall we stay in this village for the night?

Okay.

(Niujia Village)

Jing.

What's wrong?

Rong.

This is the Niujia Village,

which my mother always talked about.

Jing,

do you remember

where is your home?

We can find it.

My mother

spoke of it briefly.

We probably can't find

my parents' old house now.

But we can

bring your mother here,

rebuild the old house,

and live here.

That would be nice.

Okay.

There's a tavern!

Let's check it out.

Grab some food

and have fun.

Come on. Old beggar. Let's go.

- Coming. - Come on!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

(Niujia Village)

Father,

what did Grand Master say?

Sister Huang...

She's dead.

Who killed her?

She drowned herself

in the sea for Guo Jing.

Her body wasn't found.

Your grand master believes

it's the fault

of Seven Heroes of Jiangnan.

He orders Guiyun Manor

to kill any of them.

If we have to follow his order

and blame Seven Heroes of Jiangnan.

I'm afraid...

Our reputation

will be ruined

in martial world.

I know.

I bet Master

decided this in anger.

If we listen to him

and follow through,

he will

definitely regret it.

Father, what should we do?

You go find Seven Heroes of Jiangnan

and tell them everything.

Firstly,

offer them condolences.

Secondly,

tell them go to the desert

and lay low for a while

until Master calms down.

Anyone here?

Nobody here?

Nobody?

Botong?

Is this the place?

Yes.

But it's eerie

and empty.

Could there be ghosts?

Let's find another place.

It's so late. Where can we go?

Let's stay here.

But don't blame me

if there are female ghosts.

You are an elder Taoist from Zhongnan Mountain.

Shouldn't female ghosts fear you?

My senior only taught me martial arts,

but he didn't teach

how to exorcise ghosts.

And female ghosts consume men's essence.

When you become one, you'll know.

Brother Zhou,

Rong won't become a female ghost.

- I don't think so. - Yes.

I'm a fairy from Peach Blossom Island.

- You scared me, fairy. - Enough.

It's just an empty tavern.

You freaked me out.

Wait for me!

Brother Zhou,

Master,

sorry for making you

sleep here tonight.

In the martial world,

we can sleep anywhere.

It's dry and windproof here.

We should be grateful.

I'll find a place to sleep.

Yes, Master.

Old beggar,

can you sleep here?

Someone is

watching us.

Definitely a female ghost.

We can't stay here.

We can't. We can't.

Old Imp!

Stop scaring us

or I'll let the ghost drain your essence.

Sister Rong, believe me.

There's a female ghost.

A female ghost!

Where? I can't see it.

Right there.

A female ghost!

Brother Zhou.

We've traveled all day.

You should stop.

I'm not staying.

Female ghost haunt people.

I can't practice my martial arts.

I'm leaving.

Rong, Jing, I'm leaving.

The door closed by itself.

I told you, there is...

A ghost!

It's a person.

Who is that?

Who are you?

That's Jade Waves Palm of Peach Blossom Island?

Don't tell me?

Then I'll let you see

the real Jade Waves Palm.

Ouch!

My butt...

I just took a tumble.

She's a silly girl.

(Shagu)

Stop playing the fool.

Who taught you martial arts?

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

Who taught you martial arts?

If you don't tell me,

I'll kill you.

I really will.

If you kill me,

I'll kill you.

What a silly girl.

That's right.

I'm Shagu. [*Shagu: a silly girl in Chinese]

Rong.

I've checked.

This tavern

is stand-alone.

It's spacious all around,

no place to hide.

No place to hide.

Shagu is not silly.

Shagu knows that

you are bad people for stealing.

Shagu,

let's play a game.

Game?

Great!

I'll blow out the light.

Everyone will find a place and hide.

Who hides the longest

wins.

And the award for the winner

is noodles.

What do you say?

Great!

Yay! That's great!

Hide and seek is my specialty.

Brother Zhou, stop.

Sha Gu loves that.

That's my specialty.

Then let's have a competition

to see who's the best!

Jing, don't worry.

- I can win. - Brother Zhou.

Don't move.

What now?

Say something.

- Be quiet. - What are you doing?

You stay. Don't move.

Don't move.

I'll be right back.

Rong.

She's in there!

What are you doing here?

Old Imp.

Go watch over Master.

Jing and I will go check.

No.

I'll go with you. Go.

Aren't you afraid of female ghosts?

What if one comes out?

You can't practice martial arts.

You go.

I'll stay with the old beggar.

Go.

Easy.

Shagu?

Shagu?

Shagu?

Miss?

Shagu,

here you are.

You peeked!

That doesn't count.

We need to hide again.

Rong.

Look.

So many skeletons.

Miss,

do you know who they were?

You found me again.

Who were they?

Who were they?

She is silly.

There's no point asking her.

These look like Song soldier uniforms.

Shagu,

we're here to steal.

No stealing!

What shouldn't we steal?

There are many things here.

You can't steal them.

You can't go inside.

A lot of good stuff here.

You can't steal them.

You can't.

Be careful.

Look.

He was a high-ranking official.

(Qu)

This is Master Lu's Iron Eight Trigrams

from Guiyun Manor.

This is Iron Eight Trigrams.

But it might not belong to Master Lu.

His leg bone is broken.

This is my senior,

Qu Lingfeng.

Qu Lingfeng?

Lu said

Qu was alive.

Didn't expect he died here.

But why did he die

with a Song soldier?

And why did Qu

hide so many treasures

here in Niujia Village?

Father said

of the six apprentices,

Qu had the strongest martial arts

and pleased him most.

Most treasures here

are Father's favorites.

I bet Qu

wanted to please Father

when he would return to Peach Blossom Island.

But a corrupt official

coveted them.

Go.

Go.

Miss.

Is your surname Qu?

You're silly.

Sha Gu's surname is Sha.

Do you know what this is?

Shagu?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.
