The Legend of Quin{Episode 10}
Xiao Gao, I ---
Deputy Chief,
I Gao Jianli is not an idiot. I know everything you want to say.
I only pretend not to know. I fear that if we put it out in the open,
I would lose my last ray of hope.
Deputy Sect Leader.
Xiao Gao.
What happened to you? Wake up. Wake up quickly.
- You are?- We are Mohist disciples. Sorry that I came late.
Take them with us.
Save my Deputy Sect Leader.
And...
- What do we do?-Let's take them with us first.
Da Ren, after several days of treatment, how do you feel?
Must better.
Sir Guigu.
How did you get here?
I came to get a disciple.
A disciple?
Didn't you swear that you won't accept any more disciple?
That's true.
The unification of the States is now the unstoppable trend.
The strategy of alliance will soon lose its value.
So, I swore not to accept another disciple.
But now Chief Ji has encountered a crisis.
I'd like to use my last few days to do something for my old friend.
This time Seven Murder Sect was attacked viciously.
It is directed by Qing Emperor Ying Zheng.
Daren is the only heir to your Seven Murder Sect.
To him, Ying Zheng will not give up trying to find him.
I have been a friend with your Sect Leader for years.
I can't just watch on the sideline.
If we want Daren not to be preoccupied with what happened,
I think, the best approach is to change his identity.
I believe, the title as the last disciple to Guigu should have sufficient credibility.
Therefore, I have to take Daren with me. I will accept him as my disciple and change his name.
After my death, he could re-appear under my banner.
Then no one will recognize him as the deputy chief of the Seven Murder Sect.
Xiao Gao, if you are not willing, I can...
Deputy Sect Leader, what the Mr. Guigu stated has merit.
It's true that I would like to rebuilt Seven Murder Sect with you.
From your perspective, this is not the best idea.
For your assistance, Sir, please accept Gao Jianli's respect.
You, what are you doing? Please get up.
Our deputy chief will be placed in your hand.
Deputy Sect Leade,
How is inside the valley?
I have already buried my Master. I originally thought I would remain here for 3 years to express my appreciation.
However my Master told me to leave the valley quickly.
It's good if you come out. I have made a lot of preparation these years.
I also developed a comprehensive plan.
I am just waiting for you.
First, we must gather all our past disciples scattered all over the places. We must stay covert during this phase.
We cannot mention the name of Seven Murder Sect. Otherwise, Mr. Guigu's
effort to conceal your identity will all be wasted.
-Xiao Gao,- Sect Leader, please give me your direction.
I probably cannot stay with you.
Why?
Several months ago, Mohist's Jing Ke came to see me in the valley.
They wish that I can enter the Xianyang Palance to help them from the inside.
Help from the inside? What are they trying to do?
Prince Dan of the State Yan and Mo Family want to assassinate Qing Emperor.
What?
Did you agree?
Deputy Sect Leader, how can you?
Do you know how risky this attempt is?
If something happens to you, what will happen to the Seven Murder Sect? What about me?
Xiao Gao, I only thought
to rebuild Seven Murder Sect will not take place overnight.
If I can help the assassination of the Qing Emperor, it is equivalent to avenging for my father.
You really want to avenge for the Sect Leader?
Fine.
It's up to you.
If this can avenge the Sect Leader's death, then this is a meaningful effort.
To avenge Sect Leader's death,
do you know that once you bring up this reason, there is nothing I can do to refute it?
However I also know that you went to the Xianyang Palace, just to dodge your duty.
It's okay. I can play dumb,
pretend not to care. I can do everything you don't want to do,
because your father has endowed upon me his trust,
and because Seven Murder Sect is everything I have.
- Xiao Gao.- You went to the Xianyang Palace on your own choice.
I went to see Jing Ke and Prince Dan.
I forced them to promise that you will not be hurt because of the assassination attempt.
You stayed in the Xianyang Palace for 13 years without any news.
For Seven Murder Sect, I alone was going to different places and suffered indifference and ridicule, even assassination attempts.
Do you know about all these?
I don't care that you dodge.
Living under hardship is even less an issue for me.
For Seven Murder Sect, I am willing to do everything.
You can just watch from the sideline as long as you sit on the chair of the Sect Leader at the end.
Have you ever thought of the possibility that I don't want to be the Sect Leader?
What did you say?
Xiao Gao,
What destroyed Seven Murder Sect was not Elder Bao,
but Ying Zheng's plan.
Elder Bao was only a subordinate to him.
Even if there wasn't this disaster or Ying Zheng, Seven Murder Sect would have also disappeared gradually.
When our ancestor Ji Shao Yi created Seven Murder Sect,
because of the chaos, our Seven Murder Sect was able to grow in size and strength.
The feudal lords all wanted to leverage the strength of Seven Murder Sect to become the reigning power.
And Seven Murder Sect could also gain favors and benefits from those feudal lords afterwards.
The Seven Murder Sect had been famous and respected.
Wen Zhong, Wu Chi, Sun Bing, Fang Li, Su Qing, Zhang Yi,
these highly regarded heroes and personalities all came out of Seven Murder Sect.
But how about today? Unification is the natural trend now and there won't be any room for Seven Murder Sect.
Every emperor will regard Seven Murder Sect as its security threat.
A hundred years ago, Seven Murder Sect helped the State of Qing become strong gradually,
but when Qing has the ambition to unite all the states, it starts to see Seven Murder Sect as a threat.
This is what troubled my father.
He was saying this again and again. I could not forget about it even if I wanted to.
Actually Qing was weakening our ability before. When my father took it over, the organization was in its dying conditions.
That ploy was their last move.
And now, the world has been united.
There is no reason for Seven Murder Sect to continue its existence.
It has passed away. We should just let it rest in peace.
You can't let go. I won't demand it.
But I
- have let it go.- You shut up.
I can tolerate your dodging,
your capriciousness,
but I can't stand how you describe Seven Murder Sect.
You can't use this seemingly honorable excuse for your lack of action.
How can you say that Seven Murder Sect does not deserve to exist in this world?
My leg has been crippled. As a cripple,
as a cripple, I am trying to rebuild Seven Murder Sect. And how about you?
You have worked my heart out, all by myself,
but you?
All of you guys with the ability just stand on the side and try to tell me to let go.
How can you do that?
How can you explain this to your father in your death?
After my death, I will explain this to him myself.
Fine.
Fine, you explain it to him.
I can't control that.
I am telling you from now on,
whether I Gao Jianli am dead or alive will have nothing to do with you.
I swear I will have my revenge. I will spill the last drop of my blood for Seven Murder Sect. I will die with that traitor.
- Xiao Gao.- Have you said enough?
Gao Jianli. Your one-sided wishful thinking is just too laughable.
Who do think you are? A great hero?
You are just a stubborn fool.
However, I don't want to bear the burden of this infamy for no reason.
I will help you one more time.
I will help you get in Sir Yang Chun's residence.
Xue Nu.
If I don't do anything, wouldn't it be just what he wanted?
Then whether you will commit suicide or take your revenge, it's up to you.
You should stop saying these ridiculous things such as our watching on the sideline.
How is that?
- Fine.- Gao Jianli,
you remember this is my last time to work for Seven Murder Sect.
From now onward, anything about Seven Murder Sect,
any person,
will have nothing to do with me.
Fine. Once will be enough.
Have you really made up your mind?
I've made up my mind. I will help him.
I'm sorry. Not only did I fail to help you persuade him,
I also made things worse.
You know that that's not what I'm talking about.
I have always expected myself to severe all ties with all my past with Seven Kill Gang, but if I could,
why couldn't I leave him behind?
A while ago, I said that he is stubborn with his own wishful thinking.
Someone silly like that, he is not the only one.
Let it go.
He let go of the past, and I let go of him.
Instead of fish's trying to help each other stay moist in a drying pond,
it's better to seek out new environment in other rivers and lakes.
Please come in.
This way please.
-Thank you, thank you.-You're welcome.
Greetings, Leader.
Yi Fu Zi,
It's been over a month since I arrange to send you here.
Speak. How are things going?
My Lord, the person you wanted me to observe,
there has not been much movement.
However, I saw two old friends.
Who is it?
Xin Si (Note: 18 in the ancient Chinese system) of the Xuan Group. Her name now is Xue Nu.
That is the renowned person in Luoyang, the boss of Princess Snow Court.
The other one?
It is the elder from the past, Gao Jianli.
Greetings, Sect Leader!
What is it?
Sect Leader!
You-!
-Sect Leader!-Sect Leader!
Why did you have to harm the sect leader?
Good. Very good.
Since everyone is together, we can play.
Then shouldn't we hurry and make our move?
Staying idle everyday is making my entire body uncomfortable.
Don't rush. Waiting,
It is to wait for the best opportunity.
Our aim isn't small. To get rid of it all at once, we must spend some energy on it.
Ge Nie, Jing Tian Ming, plus the two mentioned just now are only four people.
Are we supposed to be afraid of them?
No. There is one more.
Who?
Him.
Sir Yang Chun Residence.
I've searched for him for so many years, and continuously failed in finding him.
It turns out he was living here.
Could it be...Elder Bao?
Correct.
In the past he used me, tricked me.
I must get revenge.
You've searched for so many years without any clues. Why would he appear here?
Actually, I figured it out long ago.
A person disappeared without a trace. If he wasn't dead,
then he must have some strong power supporting him from behind.
Just tell me what you want.
First, I will complete the mission. Ge Nie is mine.
Second, in the future, nothing can be kept a secret.
Third,
you must find someone for me.
As expected, he replied to me very soon.
Many years ago, he had already changed his name and lived secretly on an island in the Qing State.
RIght now Yan Chun-Jun has all the power now.
Very well. Everyone is gathered here. That makes things easy.
I have already Moyuqilin to infiltrate into Yan Chun-Jun's house.
Very soon.
My plan to kill two birds with one stone will be successful.
Is your injury better?
You've returned.
What is it?
What else could there be?
Xue Nu has already promised me for ten days. Every time she talks she says she has a plan, but won't do anything else.
It could be that the time isn't right yet.
Since you've decided to work with her, you should trust her.
Trust? If you don't other's trust, you should need money.
Xiao Gao!
I'm going to return to watch her tomorrow anyway. Let's see how long she can drag things out for.
What is it? You're not saying anything. Want to help?
Can we still chat in the future?
Enough. I hadn't intended for you to go with me anyway.
I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first.
Two buns, here.
Buns! Freshly made buns!
Warm buns!
Buns!
Try some wine! It's a family recipe.
Our homemade wine!
Fortune telling! Fortune telling!
If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will descend.
It's him? Xiao Gao, here you go again.
Tell me the truth. Do you not want to help me?
Your mouth is opening like a river again.
If you want to help me, why do you keep dragging out time like this?
I'm dragging time out?
If you didn't rashly ruin the plan ahead of time before,
Why is Yan Chun-Jun not taking the notice for paying respect from me?
He didn't accept my visit request, so naturally I couldn't enter his mansion.
If I cannot get into his mansion, how could you get in?
Do you speak reason at all?
If you hadn't stopped me to start with, I would have cut off his head long ago!
-An idiot really is an idiot. He only sees what's in front of him.-You-!
Miss! Miss!
What are you in such a rush for? Where are your manners?
Please forgive me, Miss.
What is it?
- The notice for paying respect to Yan Chun-Jun's house has already...- Been rejected, right?
I say, what meaning is there for you to arrange someone to act things out like this every day?
If you don't want to help me, then tell me! Don't waste my time!
How many times have I told you? If he won't accept the visit request, then keep sending them until he accepts!
Do you need to tell me about this every day?
No Miss! He accepted the visit request!
Really?
Really! He said that tomorrow he will send a carriage to take you there.
This is great!
Xiao Gao. Today, on the street I-
Good news. I can finally enter the residence of Sir Yang Chun.
-What? -He accepted the visit request. He'll send a carriage to get her tomorrow.
At that time, I will hide in the carriage and sneak in with her.
This...is it a stable plan?
I cannot think about so much. Success and failure hinge on one fight. There are still many things to prepare.
Xiao Gao!
Fortune Telling! Fortune Telling! If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will come down or when you will get married.
If you want to know if you'll go to heaven or hell after dying.
Fortune Telling! Fortune Telling! If you want to know the will of heaven or earth.
If you want to know when the Emperor of Heaven will come down to earth.
If you want to know when you're getting married. If you want to know if you're going to heaven or hell after dying.
Why is my heart pounding so fast?
What is it?
I feel like something is wrong. It's like something bad is going to happen.
If you're afraid, you can go back first. Don't go making a fuss here.
Who's afraid?
Isn't that childish?
Why can't I scare you? That's not fun at all!
It's because I'm used to it.
Oh cut it out.
I know. Ever since you lost your power, it's like you've lost your spirit.
You're the one who lost his spirit.
If you didn't lose your spirit, why couldn't I scare you?
It's because your technique is too crude.
Then let me ask you! In Ghost Village, who was it that I scared so much he fainted?
Who fainted? I wasn't careful enough and hit my head, that's why I fainted.
Then let me ask you. Can the rock fly by itself to hit your head and make you faint? You were acting like this too!
Don't eat me! I'm so scared! Help me!
Tian Ming! I'm going to fight you!
-Get in here! Get in!-No no! Big brother!
-You're laughing at me? Get in here!-I was wrong! No! Don't!
Get in here!
You stinky brat! Get in here!
Can you two be quiet? I was just reading, and you two are so loud my head is about to explode!
Do you believe that I won't cut off your tongues?
The new clothes too! Do you two want to die?
-It's his fault! It was you!-It's his fault!
-It was you!-It wasn't me!-Don't be noisy anymore! Get out of there.
Clean your own clothes. If the clothes aren't clean, you cannot eat dinner!
Big Sister Rong. I feel like there's something strange here.
It seems like it isn't the same as it was just now.
Stop imagining things. Hurry and clean!
Why did we stop? Has something happened?
Let's go.
Where did the people go?
Let's go in and see.
Elder Bao?
Long time no see.
Yes. Long time no see.
You are the Xin Si of the Xuan Group, right?
I heard from the Leader that you are pretty.
What is she saying?
They were all once assassins of Death's Door. Just like me.
Death door?
Senior Gao.
Do you still recognize me?
It has been a long time.
I have been thinking about you and him.
Once in the Gate of Death, you become as the ghost.
After wearing this mask, there won't be Wei Zhuang in this world.
Actually, I've always thought that you are the best choice for sect leader.
Elder Bao, this...
In what do you not measure up to that useless son of his?
Can't believe that he let you to take over the chief of the Gate of Death.
Sect Leader is truly being too unfair to you.
You know about that too?
This is a secret.
Young Master Xiao Zhuang, I am an elder of the Seven Murder Sect.
Even your adoptive father has to call me Senior Brother.
Then what is the meaning of you saying this to me?
Do you not want to be the sect leader?
If you want to, I will use all my power to help you.
At the start of next month, it's the annual conference to discuss major decisions.
All the elders and branch chiefs will gather in one place.
I will prepare everything for you first.
It's Xi Si Poison in the wax pill. Once inhaled, one will lose his command of his kung fu skills temporarily.
The opportunity will only be there for an instant. You must be decisive at the moment.
You must attack with surprise. Once you capture the Sect Leader. The supporter I put in place will act.
Then we will force the Sect Leader to concede his position to you.
Greetings, Sect Leader!
Get up.
Sect Leader! Sect Leader!
Sect Leader!
You-!
Sect Leader! What are you doing?
Don't move! Stand down!
Wei Zhuang! Have you gone crazy?
Young Master Xiao Zhuang. Not bad!
-Elder Bao!-Sect Leader!
Sect Leader! Sect Leader!
Sect Leader!
Why did you kill him?
-Why did you plot against Sect Leader?-I was tricked!
Wei Zhuang! Hurry and go save the Young Sect Leader!
There isn't anything special about me.
If I had to find one, then it is definitely that I will always get revenge!
Okay. Now the grudges with him are finished.
It's time for you and me.
I know what you want to say.
You should understand that in that sea of fire, I could only save one person.
Go! Go!
Xiao Zhuang! Xiao Zhuang!
Let's go!
Help me!
Xiao Gao!
Actually, I didn't want to give up.
It's just that I couldn't do anything
but I have no regrets.
If I were to make the choice again, I will still save him.
Sorry.
Well said.
Senior Gao. Frankly, I should thank you instead.
Without you, I wouldn't have known what desperation is.
Without that, perhaps, I would have still been that naive young boy.
Xin Si, or I should call you Xue Nu now.
Xue Nu, all your siblings in the Date of Death
are now returning to my new group, Ju San Liu Sha.
I'm you giving you a chance now.
Are you still willing to come back?
Thank our for your kind intention but I won't go back.
Even if you have changed the name, you are still doing the same thing as in the past.
I don't wish to have a single thread that links me to the past.
Fine. I gave you the chance and you rejected it. Don't blame me then.
Then all I can do is to send you both to your final destination.
Sect Leader is wise in your calculation. This technique of killing two birds with one stone worked as planned.
...know the will of the Heaven and the Earth. Do you want to know when the Emperor of the Heaven will come down.
Do you know if you are going to heaven or hell?
Do you want to know your marriage fate, whether you will strike it rich and when?
Ge Nie already found me.
Sister Rong, why are we back here again?
It's very strange.
Why are you back here again? I can see that you are getting annoyed.
Why did we come back here again?
Don't think too much about it. Let's leave now.
This resembles the spell to disorient direction.
It's that whatever Zhang.
The spell by Zhang Liang.
You think only Zhang Liang can cast this spell? So can I.
There was a hermit named Huang Si Gong, with almost god-like abilities.
Yi Fu Zi had an opportunity to become his disciple.
However Huang Si Gong could tell that he is not a person of benign character,
and only taught him selected skills.
After learning some of the rudimentary skills to cast spells,
he betrayed his master and sought refuge with the Gate of Death of the Seven Murder Sect.
- Who touched my butt? - It wasn't me.
Someone touched my butt again.
- It wasn't me. - Me either.
-Yue Er, help me! - Tian Ming!
So how?
