Episode 16

That young woman seems to be singing for Linghu Chong.

Who is she?

My dear.

Who do you think that hermit was?

I've also been thinking about that.

His moves were very strange.

It was indeed very strange.

Without lifting an arm or a leg

he was able to throw two able men of the Wang family into the river.

Judging from his martial arts he does not seem to be of any orthodox sects.

He was very nice to Linghu Chong.

And he also didn't seem to bear ill intent towards the Wangs.

It was the two sons of Elder Wang who instigated.

Then who do you say the singing girl was?

Listening to her song, she doesn't seem to be a demonic cultist.

Although we are taking a path on the water, we must still keep our guard up.

Are you saying there'll be trouble on the boat?

I worry that we've overlooked something.

We've arrived at Kaifeng!

We're finally almost at Kaifeng.

My dear.

Do you still remember the Famed Killer Physician, Ping Yizhi?

I think he lives around here.

Perhaps he can cure Linghu Chong.

That Ping Yizhi follows a wayward path.

What?

Do you think we don't have enough trouble as is?

Besides.

If people were to know we sought him out to cure Linghu Chong's sickness

they would say terrible things.

What's there to fear?

We go only to seek medical help.

Not to make friends with him.

Ping Yizhi lives with only one principle.

He saves one life and takes one life.

What if after he cures Linghu Chong he wants us to go kill someone, what then?

Father, Mother.

We're almost at Kaifeng.

Shall we go ashore and have a look around?

Look at how excited you are.

Okay.

But you have to promise me two things.

Firstly.

You must return before dark.

Secondly.

You cannot be alone.

Sure, sure. Thanks, Father!

My dear.

What is it?

Since we're already here we should go and pay a visit to Ping Yizhi.

While on the boat Linghu Chong was suffering greatly from his wounds.

It's up to Ping Yizhi if he'll tend to Linghu Chong.

But if we don't even try, I...

All right, let's do as you wish.

Let's go.

This one looks good.

Excuse me, is young hero Linghu on this boat?

I am him.

My master learned that you are not well and worries for you.

He ordered me to bring you some gifts.

Please kindly accept.

Quickly.

- This is? - Quickly...

May I ask who you are?

I dare not trouble you with my name.

May you have good fortune and get well soon.

Please take care.

Good bye.

Who is your master?

Such largesse. How can I repay this generosity?

Sixth Brother?

Sixth Brother?

Sixth Brother?

Sixth Brother!

Are you okay?

Sixth Brother!

What're you doing with that knife!

Why are you holding that knife?

Are you trying to kill someone?

You!

Why did you cut open his chest?

I'm going to take your life!

Right! Let's open his chest too!

You only know to kill people.

What kind of famed physician are you?

Does one die simply by opening up their chest?

I am called the Famed Killer Physician.

If I kill a few here or there why would that be surprising?

What did you say?

You bunch of idiots.

On your way over here you bumped him left and right.

All of his nerves are out of place.

You can't match them up anywhere.

If I do not open up his chest and reattach them one by one

even if he were to survive he'd be a cripple.

A cripple is better than a corpse.

If he becomes a cripple under my watch where would my reputation go?

Forget it.

I don't want to fix him anymore.

Quickly get this living corpse out of here.

You make me so angry that I could die.

You say you are so angry you could die.

So why aren't you dead yet?

Keep running that mouth and his death will be assured.

You five listen up.

All of you stand aside.

Do not make a sound.

If a peep comes out of any of you I will not cure him.

We can't talk? Then what about if we fart?

You fool!

Good wine oh good wine.

Good sir.

You didn't even drink it.

How do you know it is good wine?

Though the bottle is not opened its delicious smell already punctuates the air.

This must be a 62 years old Three-Headed Fen.

How can it not be good?

It is indeed a good wine.

Good sir.

If you are willing, why don't you join me for a few drinks on this boat?

We don't even know each other.

How can I intrude?

We are all brothers in this world.

Besides, from what you just said you are a senior of the study of wine.

There is much I'd like to learn from you.

If so, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Please.

My name is Zu Qianqiu.

My name is Linghu Chong.

Good.

A very good name.

As long as the wine is good everything is good.

Please have a seat.

You ass, why did you hit me?

You ass.

You'd be dead if I didn't hit you.

The two Masters standing outside.

Please come inside.

Look who that is?

It's her!

Tear her apart!

Calm down!

We promised the big monk.

We don't fight women.

Yue Buqun and wife of Mount Hua Sect greets Elder Ping.

So it's the Headmaster of Mount Hua Sect.

The two of you have been standing out here.

What do you want?

Our disciple has a serious wound.

We have come to seek your help.

You want me to cure something?

Do you know of my principle?

Right!

He kills one for every one he heals.

We killed someone for him so he cured our Sixth Brother for us.

Old man, who do you want killed?

Keep talking and I'll have you kill him.

Anyways.

Agree to my conditions and I'll save him right away.

Can't you make an exception?

An exception?

Move aside.

Here, Mister Zu.

Please.

Brother Linghu.

Although you have good wine you don't have good cups for drinking.

We're traveling so this is all we have.

Please make do, Mister Zu.

No, that will simply not do.

Being so careless in choosing your appliance.

You must not understand its intricacies yet.

There is a Tang Dynasty poem that says 'A jade bowl holds amber light.'

You should drink Fen wine with jade cups.

This is?

This is white wine from the outer-lands.

Its taste is of top quality.

Pity that it's a little short on fragrance.

One should use cups made of rhinoceros horn.

Then it would be most delectable.

How about this grape wine?

Grape wine shines in the moonlight.

Drinking it, one loses oneself to the sound.

If this grape wine is filled into luminous cups

its color is no different from blood.

Drinking wine is as if drinking blood.

'To talk and laugh over cups of tribal blood.'

Isn't it grand?

Forget it.

According to your words, it seems we cannot drink this wine anymore.

Why?

Where can we find these drinking things now?

Brother Linghu.

If I didn't have these things I would not have said all that.

Aged cane cup.

Jadeite cup.

Glaze cup.

Rhinoceros horn cup.

Amber cup.

White jade cup.

Old porcelain cup.

Luminous cup.

Truly impressive!

When I was in Luoyang an elder lectured me on wine origin and smell

the ways to make it and the methods of storing it.

But as to the appliances themselves I knew nothing about it at all.

Brother Linghu.

These cups of mine are indeed treasures of a drinker.

But to those not bold enough they might taste strange.

After drinking the first cup they dare not drink a second ever again.

I have never met anyone who can drink all eight.

It can't be that difficult.

Please.

See how it's different from wine you've drank before.

It appears you do know how to drink.

The wine does indeed taste strange.

I've never tasted it before.

Extremely bitter.

Kind of like Chinese goldthread.

Drink them all down first.

Then we can discuss them after.

All right then.

Good!

Brother Linghu is indeed extraordinary.

After drinking all eight how is the taste?

Inside this wine...

Brother Linghu.

There should be a fire within your stomach.

Don't try to resist it.

Let it move about naturally.

It will restore warmth to all your limbs.

Mister Zu.

What did you put inside the wine?

It feels so comfortable!

- Brother Linghu... - Linghu Chong!

I must bid farewell!

Mister Zu?

Linghu Chong!

Excuse me.

Is young Master Linghu on the boat?

Linghu Chong.

The old man has come to help you.

- Quickly get on the boat. - Come. Get on the boat.

Please sit, elder.

Sit down, sit down.

I am Ping Yizhi.

Someone has requested that I cure you.

May I ask who it was that made this request?

One, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight.

Doctor Ping.

How is it?

Five, six, seven, eight.

How very odd.

I have never seen such a pulse in my life.

You have eight streams of true chi in your body.

Two of them are stronger while six are weaker.

The strong ones seem to belong to Monk Bujie.

The six weak ones most likely belong to these six idiots.

Why is ours the weak ones?

That big monk's should be weaker!

You foolish doctor.

You're the fool!

The two streams from Monk Bujie suppresses all six of your streams

are you guys the stronger one?

You know no shame.

Though that bald monk does have some skill

he doesn't have any brains.

He's also just a fool at best.

Elder Ping.

I hear that you have a rule when curing others.

Saving a life.

The one that is saved has to go kill someone else for you.

That's correct.

There is indeed that rule.

Good then.

I'm not willing to kill anybody for you.

So you also don't need to cure me.

First of all.

Your condition is very severe.

I cannot cure it.

Second of all.

If it were cured someone has promised to kill for me already.

It wouldn't come to you anyway.

Thank you for telling it to me straight.

You six idiots listen up.

Sir Linghu's condition was caused by you guys.

You must serve him well.

Until his death.

I have never encountered such a condition in my life before.

Even with the will there is nothing I can do.

It's a shame.

Here are ten Chi-regulating Pills.

Take one every ten days and you can extend your life by 100 days.

Oh?

There are still two more inside.

You can just have all of them.

Elder.

There's no need.

You value this medicine greatly.

It must be something special.

I think you should just hold onto it to save other lives in the future.

Even if I live an extra day or two it would bring no good to anybody.

To worry not about life or death is a mark of a real man.

No wonder.

It is truly a pity.

I am humbled.

Elder, there is something I must ask you.

Who was it that requested you to cure me?

Don't bother asking that.

Elder!

Linghu Chong.

Let's drink together!

Sure!

Let us drink together!

Let's drink together.

Come!

Come, let us drink to our hearts content.

All right.

Come! Let us drink!

Here.

Cheers!

Good wine!

Linghu Chong. You seem like a great guy.

Today we'll treat you to...

'deep-rooted and sturdy'

'a tree becomes forest'

'rich and very propagated'

'great fortune in love'

'abundant fruit of labor'

'Red sea.'

No! It has to be four words!

A red of sea.

Still not right!

A sea of red.

Linghu Chong. We get red from drinking anyways.

Don't you think so?

You guys stop arguing.

What wine are you referring to?

Bring it out already!

It's the fresh, drink-as-you-brew Peach Valley Six Fairy Wine!

I say...

What are you guys up to again now?

Brothers, get ready!

Linghu Chong!

Come and drink it!

All right then!

You're too noisy!

No more!

Brewing this wine takes too much energy.

Let us go back and sleep!

Let's go!

Elder Brother.

You're drinking again.

You are still injured.

You can't just always be drinking.

I...

If you really must drink then drink less.

Okay.

I won't drink.

Little Sister.

I have to talk to you about something.

So say it then.

It's...

It's nothing really.

Elder Brother.

I know it's hard for you to accept.

But... you must plan ahead.

Don't torture yourself because of it.

What happened before was all my fault.

If I said something wrong or done something wrong

don't take it to heart.

I don't want you to say you're wrong.

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have treated you that way.

I don't want you to say you're wrong!

Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong does not need another's pity.

It's true.

I am going to die soon.

But as long as I can die while around Master and Headmistress

around all of you, I already have no regrets about dying!

And let me tell you this.

I've done no wrong towards Mount Hua Sect.

I've done no wrong towards Master and Headmistress.

And I've done no wrong towards you!

And I never will!

Little Lin.

If you have something to say, just say it.

You...

So say it.

Are you regretting it now?

Regret what?

Regret what you said to me at Big Buddha Temple.

Little Lin.

Did you hear my conversation with Elder Brother?

Everyone heard it.

What's the big deal about that?

My mother already told me.

Elder brother only has a hundred days left.

I only want to console him.

I didn't mean anything else.

But...

But he doesn't need your pity.

- What he wants is... - Little Lin.

You don't trust me?

I said I liked you.

So I won't give my heart to anyone else anymore.

I admit wrong to elder Brother.

Because while we were at Luoyang we all acted unfairly towards him.

At your home, your two Uncles always mistreated him.

It was his own fault.

He was acting strange the entire way.

Even Master himself...

What I hate most in this life are people speaking ill of the young hero Linghu.

Whoever continues to speak ill of him will have to answer to me.

Who's there?

Dear daughter.

The Life-Extending Pill I'm making for you has finally been completed.

Life-Extending Pill?

Will I get better by taking it?

For sure!

Here.

Father.

Who is he?

Him?

He's not a person.

He is medicine.

And what might you be?

Me?

Laotouzi.

So why did you capture me?

You stole my daughter's medicine.

I did not.

You drank the wine from that bastard Zu Qianqiu, didn't you?

My Life-Extending Pill was inside that wine.

I see...

Where's Little Sister?

Check upstairs.

I'm going to take blood from your heart to heal my daughter's sickness.

Are you scared?

You're not scared?

If I take blood from your heart your life would be over instantly.

Living in this world death is unavoidable in the end.

What difference does it make whether it's sooner or later?

If my blood can save your daughter's life

then it would be worth it.

I only fear a meaningless death with no help to anyone.

Come on then.

You are truly a remarkable man.

If it weren't for my daughter's illness perhaps I'd have spared your life today.

Okay.

I will make it quick and painless.

Stay your hand!

Old man, you cannot!

Old bastard stay out of it!

Old man listen to me.

He's...

Understand?

- Really? - Absolutely certain.

Mister Zu.

What's going on here?

Young Master Linghu.

I am old and foolish.

Please forgive me.

Mister Zu.

What is really going on here?

Young Master Linghu please be merciful.

Please forgive him for his ignorance.

Please get up.

Who is it really that gives me such honor to have you show such courtesy towards me?

Young Master must know it.

Why force us to say it out loud?

Right, right.

Even if you were to cut our heads off we wouldn't dare to say it.

Fine.

Then you two.

Tie yourselves up.

Okay, we understand.

Little Brother Lin! Little Sister! Elder Brother!

Where are you guys?

How is it?

Headmistress. We haven't found Little Sister yet.

Hurry, keep searching!

Understood.

Little Sister, what's the matter?

Lingshan and Pingzhi are missing.

Missing?

I fear this might be some kind of ploy.

We might have walked into someone's trap.

Master!

Master.

Look.

Retrieve your daughter on Wuba Hills.

Forgive me, you two.

Dad.

Dad...

Dad!

No...

Don't...

Don't...

Young miss.

Don't be afraid.

I ate the special medicine your dad made for you.

But it was an accident.

I'll return it to you now.

No...

Don't...

- No... - Here. Drink this.

- It is medicine. - No...

You'll be better after you drink it.

No, Laotouzi.

We can't go in.

Don't force me any longer.

I don't want any more.

I can't any more.

No more...

Here.

Again.

So much blood I'm begging you...

Good child.

Dad!

Dad.

He forced me to drink his blood.

Young Master Linghu?

Young hero Linghu!

Shut up already and grab the medicine.

Damn it.

It's obvious they are looking down on us.

When we find out who kidnapped Linghu Chong

we'll rip them into four pieces!

Rip them into eight pieces!

- No. - Sixteen pieces.

Thirty-two pieces!

My dear, they've taken Pingzhi as well.

Could it be for the Evil-warding Sword Manual?

What other reason could it be?

These people move about secretively and their martial arts are strange and wayward.

They seem like demonic cultists.

As soon as I saw these gifts I knew they were from the demonic cult.

We must keep our eyes open.

I'd really like to see who is threatening me.

Are you saying this has to do with Linghu Chong?

Master.

Who is that?

It's Linghu Chong!

Linghu Chong.

My dear.

Linghu Chong has lost a lot of blood.

His life might be in danger.

Good sirs.

I don't know where I have offended you.

Why have you kidnapped my daughter and Pingzhi?

For young Master Linghu's sake I will not cause you any trouble today.

But I will say this.

This matter with your daughter and stupid disciple

had nothing to do with me, Laotouzi.

Headmaster Yue.

We know nothing of your daughter and disciple.

But since they are young Master Linghu's brother and sister

I'm sure they'll be fine.

They've been taken to Wuba Hill.

It'll all be clear once you go to Wuba Hill.

Farewell.

Headmistress.

Linghu Chong.

You're awake.

Linghu Chong, tell me.

Where are Lingshan and Pingzhi?

Master, I...

He was just alive.

And now he's dead again?

Linghu Chong was kidnapped on the boat.

His daughter was kidnapped ashore.

How would Linghu Chong know where his daughter is?

Right, he wouldn't.

Should you dare to hurt Linghu Chong we'll get you down and dirty.

Disoriented and disordered.

Cut you into seven or eight pieces.

And even more into nine or ten pieces.

So how many pieces is it then?

How many pieces do you think?

You say it!

Lao Denuo.

- Present. - Watch him.

Don't let him off the boat without my consent.

Understood.

Wake up.

Big Brother.

Besides Linghu Chong on this boat there are no wise people.

Says who?

There are still us six!

Big Brother is right.

Perhaps that little girl has eloped with that Lin boy.

Why blame Linghu Chong for it?

How ridiculous!

Right.

That little girl is always with that Lin boy.

Nothing good will come out of it.

Perhaps Linghu Chong just likes that little girl.

He's blinded.

So many nice ladies out there in the world.

Even if there were no more ladies he still has us!

That's right.

The six of us are so nice.

Sun Moon Holy Cult is forever great.

Cult master Dongfang will rule over the martial world.

Bao Dachu.

Where is Xiang Wentian?

Foreman.

Xiang Wentian has escaped.

Escaped?

Xiang Wentian is truly powerful.

We chased him with over twenty brothers but he was still able to escape.

You guys have a lot of nerve.

Cult master Dongfang has treated you all kindly.

Yet you are all ungrateful.

Plotting rebellion with Xiang Wentian?

We did not betray the cult!

Please seek out the truth cult Master.

All right.

Let us see if your will is harder or my sword is harder.

Stop it!
