Episode 15

Elder Zhu.

Where's Granny?

Auntie has gone out.

It's a pity.

I missed out on hearing Granny play.

I couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.

Is Granny angry with me?

No need to worry yourself.

The song Granny played is called 'Mantra of Purity and Kindness.'

It was originally a lullaby.

Try and feel it through your senses.

It can help take your mind off things.

I really feel much better.

Thank you, elder.

You don't need to thank me.

If you can get Auntie to teach you this song

it'll surely be a blessing throughout your life.

Elder Zhu.

Why are you and Granny so nice to me?

Well...

Don't worry about it.

Fate brings us all together.

It is as Auntie says.

All is fate and nothing more.

Elder Sister.

Don't always call me that.

You are still a few years older than me.

What should I call you then?

You can...

call me Little Sister Shan.

I dare not in front of Master.

Call me as before in front of others.

When it's just the two of us don't call me that anymore.

All right.

Little Lin.

Do you miss home?

Elder Sister.

I mean...

Little Sister Shan.

Since I left Fuzhou with my parents...

I wonder how my home is.

While I was at South Mount Heng I heard someone in the Qingcheng Sect say

that Yu Canghai brought his men and demolished Fuwei Bureau.

Don't worry.

I will have my Father take your revenge.

No.

I will take my own revenge.

Father.

Lingshan.

Elder Wang wants to see you.

Remember.

When you're there mind yourself.

And don't ask unnecessary questions.

I understand, Father.

Father, what does Little Lin's Grandfather want with me?

It's been such a mess lately that your mother and I forgot your birthday.

But he remembered it and insists on giving you a present.

What present?

Didn't I tell you just now to avoid unnecessary questions?

I'm just casually asking.

It's a little embarrassing to meet him.

Go quickly. You'll know when you get there.

Elder Zhu.

Elder Zhu.

You've come.

Please come in.

You're better now?

Granny has nursed my wounds with her music.

I am very grateful.

I've come to express my gratitude.

And how will you do that?

I...

I'll heed Granny's guidance and be a good boy.

Already prattling about as soon as you recover.

Such insolence.

Thank you, Elder Zhu.

Granny.

Listening to your 'Mantra of Purity and Kindness'

was very calming and relaxing.

However...

I should not trouble Granny any further.

So I hope...

You hope to learn the qin.

Yes.

But I know nothing about music.

I wonder if it's possible to learn it in a day or two.

One or two days?

It'll take at least half a month to Master the 'Mantra of Purity and Kindness.'

Then... Then how about something simpler?

As long as I can learn it in a day or two.

What are you trying to do?

It's my Little Sister's birthday in a couple days.

I don't have any presents to give to her.

So I want to learn and play a song for her.

Granny?

I am tired.

Nephew Zhu.

Auntie.

You teach him whatever he wants to learn.

That's...

Auntie.

Pick a happy soothing tune to teach.

One suitable for his happy occasion.

Granny.

Just go.

Granny?

Let's go.

Elder Zhu.

Is Granny okay?

What's the matter with you?

Me?

You both have a childish temper.

What childish temper?

Haven't you heard before?

Old child, old child.

The older one gets the more childish.

Nephew Zhu.

What are you blabbering on about?

Shouldn't you be teaching him to play the qin?

Yes, Auntie.

Little Lin!

Little Sister, it's me.

Elder Brother.

Elder Brother, are you learning to play the qin?

Yes.

It's your birthday in a couple days.

I don't have much to give.

So I learned this song to play for you.

It's a good song.

Have a seat, little Sister.

Okay.

Elder Brother.

Since you're so good with the sword you must be just as good with the qin.

Little Sister.

Regarding this song there's a good story behind it.

Do you want to hear the story first or the song first?

Never mind.

I should just play the song for you first.

Elder Brother.

It's such a good song.

Perhaps you can teach Little Lin to play it?

Elder Brother.

Is this giving me a present?

You're giving me a slap in the face!

Little Sister.

Why do you hate me so much?

That you would abuse me through the qin.

Little Sister.

I didn't...

It's you?

Fail to achieve a goal and settling for less.

You casually learn a little bit of music and dare to show off in front of Lady Yue.

You've shown yourself up.

You're the Sacred Lady.

What of it?

Don't hurt my elder Sister!

Little Lin!

Be careful!

Don't!

Don't what?

Don't kill him.

I can do that.

But it's not up to you to beg.

What do you want then?

I want him to beg.

Elder Brother.

Elder Brother.

I beg of you to release him.

Your show is done for if I let him go.

I have never put on any shows.

I beg you to release him.

Witch!

You're much too reckless!

Little Lin!

- Begging for mercy from a cultist? - Master!

- Who taught you such a thing? - I...

Yue Buqun wants you to come finish me?

Then why have you come?

How are your wounds?

None of your business.

Go and tell Yue Buqun.

I will surely take this revenge.

This is Paste of Heavenly Scent from North Mount Heng.

Perhaps it'll be of use to you.

Stop right there!

I don't want your pity.

Take your medicine away.

I'd rather die than take your medicine.

Elder Zhu.

Why have you come?

I've come to return this qin to Granny.

Is Granny in?

She's sick.

She doesn't want to see you.

Sick?

I am going to go see her.

Granny.

You should just go.

Granny, how are you?

Granny.

Is your illness severe?

Young hero.

I told you already.

Auntie does not wish to see you.

Just go.

Nephew Zhu please go outside.

Understood.

I will be right outside.

Please let me know if you need anything.

Why have you come here?

I came hoping to learn the qin from Granny.

Granny, please don't be angry.

I want to truly learn it this time.

Granny.

Granny.

I'm not doing it for anything else.

I only hope to one day be able to play 'Laughing in the Wind' the way Granny can.

Not for the ears of your Little Sister anymore?

To be honest, I played for my Little Sister yesterday.

But it was as if I was just punching myself.

People do very foolish things at times.

Even I often feel the same way.

Granny always speaks to my heart.

Granny.

Last night, I couldn't get your singing out of my head.

Why is it that when you sing your voice is soothing like a young lady's.

I don't sing with my voice.

I sing with my heart.

My heart is filled with memories of youth.

Singing with your heart?

So what is that song called?

It's called 'State of Thought.'

A classic of the Han Dynasty.

It has deep emotions and a mild rhythm.

'State of Thought.'

What a wonderful name.

Excuse my poor playing, Granny.

Who taught you how to play this song?

No one taught me.

I was just using my heart to try and sense this song you sang.

This 'State of Thought' was played very well at first.

Your emotions are one with its meaning bringing out the deep sentiments of the song.

You must be thinking of past events in your heart.

But then there was a Fujian pitch mixed into it

while it remained a folk song melodically

making it difficult to understand.

Why is that?

Granny.

Sorry to have disturbed your tranquility with all my silly and trivial matters.

Feelings and sentiments cannot be forced.

As an old saying goes

'We all have our fated bonds. Do not envy others.'

I understand.

Young hero Linghu.

You may be heartbroken today but it doesn't mean you won't meet someone someday.

Nephew Zhu.

Auntie.

Start teaching him the basics of music first.

Yes.

Many thanks, Granny.

Come, come, come!

Quickly, quickly.

Elder Wang.

Brother Yue.

It's just my daughter celebrating her birthday.

Is it necessary to use so many people?

Why not?

She's the dear daughter of Mount Hua's Headmaster.

Of course it's necessary.

Besides, Lingshan's a nice girl.

Just her presence endears me to her.

Even though it isn't Mount Hua I will not allow any less for her!

No, what I meant was...

Say no more!

I've already arranged everything.

We'll put on a show here tomorrow night and have a great celebration.

I'm afraid that you'll spoil her.

What kind of talk is that?

Although this tune 'Green Cloud Whispers' is still crude and choppy under your hands

it still leaves one with an impression.

You praise too highly of me.

No.

Although the qin is not part of one's body

its sound comes from the hand so its meaning must come from the heart.

Listening to you play your technique is not very refined

but the meaning behind it is bright and limitless.

For a young man to have such a broad mind

I respect that.

Thank you for your guidance, elder.

Playing the qin is just like training in martial arts.

The melody is like a set of martial art.

Just knowing the forms very well does not make one truly skilled.

Auntie did not misjudge.

Truly extraordinary.

A few more days of this and I fear this old man

won't dare to play the qin in your presence anymore.

Elder is too modest.

Just watching your skill at cutting bamboos

I could never master such a thing.

From this day forth I'll learn bamboo cutting skills from you everyday, what do you say?

This is my specialty and livelihood.

If you also master this as well I would have to start begging in the streets.

Linghu Chong.

Headmistress.

Are you heading out?

I'm headed over to Elder Zhu's to learn to weave bamboo rakes.

It is a mess out there.

You must be careful.

Yes, Headmistress.

Today is your Little Sister's birthday.

Come home earlier.

Okay, I understand.

Weaving bamboo rakes also requires peace of mind.

How does elder know my mind is not at peace?

How is it?

My mind was at peace this time, right?

Not quite.

You lost focus three times, didn't you?

Just by looking at this bamboo rake

you can see that I lost my focus three times?

There is nothing simpler than this.

It's getting late.

Just have lunch here, okay?

Sure.

How about Granny? Will she be back?

She won't be back until night.

Elder, may I ask why we're using so many cups

when there is only the two of us drinking.

Come.

Drink it down first.

Okay, cheers!

Good wine.

What part of it is good?

It tastes good.

Here.

Please have the second cup.

Please.

Good.

It tastes great!

Is it the same as the first one?

Yes, it is.

Perhaps a little bit different.

Drinking the way you do

you'll only be a good-for-nothing glutton.

Knowledge in wine is no less rich than the sword or qin.

For the great wines of the world you must know of its exact origins.

You should know with one sip its year and place of production.

I've never heard of such a thing before.

Please teach me your knowledge.

Here.

Drink all ten cups of wine first.

I will slowly explain it to you after.

Please bless my parents so they may live a peaceful life in the heavens.

Please bless Little Lin that he may avenge his family sooner than later.

I know Little Sister wouldn't like someone like me.

But I cannot forget her.

What about that Little Brother Lin of yours?

He stole away your heart's desire.

Can you really stand it?

I..

Then what can I do?

Kill him and you can steal back your Little Sister.

I cannot.

I am already a guilty man.

A man soon to meet his end.

I don't want her to suffer grief for me anymore.

You don't want to hurt your Little Sister because you like her.

You bear Yue Buqun's wrongful treatment because he is your master.

If one day the one standing in front of you is a cultist

what will you do then?

I don't know.

Would you kill her?

Elder Qu was also a cultist.

Yet he became sworn brothers with Uncle Liu.

Leaving me with great admiration for them.

I think a person's moral worth cannot be judged by the Sect they belong.

And what of the hundreds of years of bad blood between the sects and the cult?

Bad blood?

That is but an excuse.

Look.

There.

Come, Little Sister Shan.

If only we could be like this every day.

You don't like it?

No.

I... I do like it.

Little Sister Shan.

Ever since my parents passed away you've been the nicest to me.

I don't know how I can ever repay you.

Who wants you to repay me?

I'm nice to you...

is because I like you.

I'll be sad with you when you're sad.

When you're happy I'll be happy too.

I will follow you to the corners of the sea.

I will follow you even to the end of the world.

Little Sister Shan.

I will never forget your kindness to me.

I swear...

I don't want your oath.

I just want you to treat me well.

Yue Buqun's daughter pledges a secret marriage.

He'll be very happy if he were to know.

Chen Buyou.

What do you want?

I've no choice when Yue Buqun refuses to see me.

I'll have to use you two to draw him out.

Tie them both up!

Master. Headmistress.

Denuo.

Have you found Lingshan yet?

We've searched everywhere already.

Little Sister and Brother must have gone out.

This child...

Get out and keep searching!

Understood.

What is it?

I was selling rakes outside Big Buddha Temple

when I heard your sister and brother were kidnapped at Azalea Pavilion.

Who did it?

I don't know.

Chen Buyou.

Doing such a shameless thing.

How do you consider yourself a man?

Shameless?

Yue Buqun is the shameless one.

You lie!

When he comes you can ask him yourself.

Let's see if he dares to lie

when a sword is pointed at his precious daughter's throat.

You can't beat my father.

If I can't beat him I'll just kill you first.

You dare?

Elder brother!

Chen Buyou.

We already crossed blades at Medicine King Temple.

Release my Little Sister and Little Brother Lin.

I will spare your life.

You little punk.

You still have internal wounds yet you dare come to play tough?

How do you know?

One among your brothers had passed it along to me.

Prepare yourself!

This boy has internal wounds.

Take him on together and tire him out!

Chen Buyou!

Let's go!

Where are you running to?

Father!

Mother!

Where's elder Brother?

Elder Brother?

Elder Brother!

Lingshan.

You should go and see Linghu Chong.

Didn't Pingzhi say if it weren't for Linghu Chong, you two would...

Linghu Chong Linghu Chong.

He's all you care about.

Mother. Why do you try to push us together?

What's the matter with you?

I didn't even say anything.

I'm just saying you two grew up together.

He has always taken care of you as a big brother.

Now, in order to save you his condition has deteriorated even more.

You really won't even pay him a visit?

Are you worried because of Pingzhi?

This has nothing to do with Little Lin.

Elder Brother suffered injuries to save the two of us.

I really should thank him.

But...

You've become more and more unreasonable.

You even turn a deaf ear to your Mother.

Father...

You...

must go and thank Linghu Chong.

If he didn't step in when he did for you

would the two of you still be alive?

Luckily he suffered only minor injuries.

If it were more severe just watch how I'd punish you.

Father.

Don't be angry.

It's all my fault, okay?

Go.

Together with Pingzhi

go and thank your Elder Brother in person.

Yes.

Headmistress.

Don't get up.

You haven't recovered yet.

Pingzhi and Lingshan have come to see you.

Elder Brother are you feeling any better?

Elder Brother.

It's my fault.

I didn't heed Father's warnings and caused so much trouble.

And got you injured.

Father has already scolded me.

It's not your fault.

It was my own carelessness.

Well get some good rest.

We'll be going first.

Linghu Chong.

Headmistress.

When will we go back to Mount Hua?

Haven't you noticed?

The patron behind Chen Buyou is Zuo Lengchan.

When we go back to Mount Hua is for your master to decide.

I understand.

Thanks.

This Chen Buyou has been defeated by us for the fourth time already.

So why does he continue to come and instigate?

The first few times were all incited by Zuo Lengchan.

This time should be no exception.

The problem is the demonic cult has shown up in Luoyang.

Yet, they have been quiet so far.

Something dangerous must be lurking about.

If Mount Hua Sect does not leave Luoyang there will surely be a fierce battle here.

So then we fight them.

Draw Zuo Lengchan here.

If we could make a move on him I'd have done it already.

I really don't want to lose the bigger picture.

Besides...

in order to preserve our strength we simply must leave.

Mister Yue is truly prudent and farsighted.

You have my utmost admiration.

But, where will you go?

We'll head south.

Our destination will be Fujian.

To Pingzhi's old home.

Good idea.

Get far away from Mount Song's area of influence

and go towards the tranquility of Wuyi.

Wonderful.

Cheers.

Elder Zhu.

Young hero.

I've come to bid farewell to you and Granny.

What? You're leaving?

Master said we're leaving first thing in the morning.

It's unfortunate but Auntie is not home.

Elder.

When will Granny come back?

Well...

Truly so unfortunate.

I had hoped to thank Granny in person.

Elder Zhu.

Please accept my gratitude.

You need not do that.

An old man like me is not worthy.

No.

Elder Zhu.

The kindness you two have shown me.

I have no way to repay it.

You more than deserve my gratitude.

Please get on up.

Granny.

I will be leaving here tomorrow.

After I leave, I don't know if we'll have a chance to meet again.

If I am lucky enough to stay alive

I will come visit Granny in Luoyang once more.

Granny.

Please accept my gratitude.

Brother Yue.

The road ahead will be long.

Do take care along the way.

If you need anything from me do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you very much..

On my way back from Fujian I will certainly come to pay my respects.

Good.

I shall be awaiting your return.

Please.

Farewell.

Many thanks, Elder Wang.

Please go back.

Elder, thank you for everything.

Have a safe journey, everyone.

Young hero Linghu!

Young hero Linghu!

Elder Zhu, I'm right here.

Young hero Linghu.

Auntie asked me to give this small gift to you.

Granny's precious gift I shall accept it in gratitude.

Take care of yourself young hero.

Chong.

Which school's elite master is that hermit?

I only know he is an old bamboo craftsman.

I've never seen him use martial arts before.

Weigh anchor!

Let's go.
