The Legend of Qin{Episode 26}
You promised me.
You promised me!
You must do it. Come!
What are you doing?
Transferring blood through martial arts?
Do you want to die?
Only this way, can we gain time for Miss Rong to come save you.
This will use all of your inner power!
Also, if anything goes wrong, you'll be poisoned!
Gao Jianli. You'll die faster than me!
Don't talk.
Gao Jianli!
Let go!
If you don't want me to die with you, then don't talk.
I don't have anything left.
Only you.
I won't let anyone hurt you.
I will not let you leave me either.
Brother Chui!
Three steps to the right, in front of you!
Okay!
Brother Chui! Use fire!
You old geezer! You finally reveal yourself!
Thunder God Chui!
How could I die under the hands of a blacksmith??
Senior Brother.
He had it coming!
-Eat the medicine.-I won't!
I won't eat the medicine!
Hurry and go save sect leader!
-First eat the medicine!-I won't!
Hurry and go save the Sect Leader!
You almost died, do you know that?
But him? He left alone, and didn't even look back!
You're like this now, and you still tell me to go save him?
It's not your matter if it's worth it or not! If I tell you to go, then go!
Okay then. Then I'll go myself!
Ban Dashi! Ban Dashi!
-It's a mask!-Do you see that? He's a fake! Stop right there!
Where did he go?
There's intruders! Get up!
Kill!
Brothers, get your tools and let's destroy the dam.
Wait!
Greetings, Juzi!
Don't open the reservoir. Come back to Mechanism City with me.
Yes.
Yue Er, come!
This...what is this?
We're done for! Wei Zhuang has entered Mechanism City!
That's not right! It looks like there's more of their people dead.
Let's go! We have to find someone to ask!
Okay! Let's go!
Ban Dashi.
Capture them!
-Ban Dashi, what are you doing?-Why did you capture us?
Because we cannot be sure that you are you!
So you must prove that you are you!
-What?-What?
There's three of us! Chi Lian can't split!
-That's right!-You can't be sure.
Perhaps she found two accomplices to come in with her.
-You-!-What?
-Okay then. You just want proof, right?-Right.
Then I'm really going to say it!
Ban Dashi, you are a stinky bug. You don't even change your underwear!
When I come find you in the morning, I almost get knocked over by that smell!
Old Ban, your farts are stinky and big, and you never admit that they're yours!
Half a month ago, you gained ten pounds and was afraid that Sister Rong would yell at you.
I was the one who secretly made your clothes bigger!
So? Do I need to say more? I have a lot more things to say!
E-e-e-enough!
You three are more terrible than Chi Lian!
Especially you! You learned to be bad from them!
L-let go of them!
Ban Dashi, just what has happened?
Enough enough enough! Don't ask me!
I should be asking you! Just what is going on?
You went into the forbidden grounds again?
How did you know?
I knew last time, so I could know this time too!
All of you have gotten skilled.
Not only did you enter the forbidden grounds, you also entered the path of tests!
When will you allow us not to worry about you?
The path of tests is the place for each generation's Ju Zi to take tests!
It's as dangerous as you can get! If you make one misstep,
all three of your little lives are gone! Do you know that?
But haven't we returned alive?
Then do you know how many people were worried about you?
I know, but-
Tian Ming, just don't say so much.
Ban Dashi, I should be the one to explain everything.
At that time, the three of us were discussing how to save everyone in Mechanism City.
In the end, we came across an old man.
Tian Ming! Tian Ming!
We still aren't sure who he is and why he came into Mechanism City,
so we decided to first come and tell you.
In the end...he finally returned.
-What?-What?
The person you came across is named Gong Shu Chou.
Gong Shu? He really is of the Gong Shu family?
He's not only of the Gong Shu family.
He is also this generation's leader!
Of course, he was my Senior Brother back in the day.
This was all...
something from a long time ago.
It was when I was still just a small Mohist disciple.
I had two senior brothers whom I idolized.
Eldest Senior Brother was the previous Ju Zi, Liu Ju Hai Sha.
Second Senior Brother was Gong Shu Chou.
But at the time, I didn't know his real identity.
After Teacher passed away, Eldest Senior Brother took up Teacher's responsibilities.
He taught and took care of us.
I originally thought that those days would last forever.
Until one day.
Eldest Senior Brother suddenly found me and asked me about Second Senior Brother's recent activities.
I thought it was very strange, because Eldest Senior Brother had become Ju Zi by that time and had many things to deal with.
Why would he care about such small matters?
However, at that time, Second Senior Brother had become a bit strange.
So I told Eldest Senior Brother generally about it.
Ju Zi, you're already so busy every day!
Why do you have the interest to deal with such small matters?
Did something happen to Second Senior Brother?
Do you know who Xiao Jiu is?
I know. Xiao Jiu is Second Senior Brother!
Second Senior Brother is Xiao Jiu!
Who else could he be?
No. He is of the Gong Shu family.
His name is Gong Shu Chou.
Really?
Actually,
I've already known about his real identity for some time.
I didn't reveal him,
because I wanted to find out why he came into the Mohist family.
Just what is his goal?
Besides, we have been under the same sect for many years.
If he has no evil intentions, I won't care too much.
However, I discovered recently that he will do anything to enter the forbidden grounds.
He wants to take all the Mohist mechanism secrets.
No. That's impossible!
That's just impossible! Something must be mistaken!
Didn't you say before that you wanted to pass the Chief Engineer position to him?
Yes. But I said that because I didn't know his real identity then.
You can't be sure now either!
He knew that one day he could properly enter according to the rules!
Why would he do all this now?
Perhaps, he already knows that his identity has been exposed.
That's why he wants to quickly finish things up.
He...he...
If he really is of the Gong Shu family,
Then why did he enter the Mohist family to learn?
The Gong Shu family has always seen the Mohist family as an enemy.
and we both are experts in mechanical devices.
He entered the Mohist family, simply to take knowledge to defeat the Mohist family with later!
That's impossible. He wouldn't!
You must be mistaken! Ju Zi, it's okay.
I'll find him now and ask him to clear things up!
I want to find him to clear things up! I trust him!
Since you trust him so much, then fine! Let's make a bet!
Let's make a bet.
Let's see if he's a righteous man or a despicable low-life!
Okay.
I'll make a bet with you.
That was just when we were young and wanted to prove that we were right.
We didn't think that in this bet, no matter who won,
the only one who would lose would be Gong Shu Chou.
The plan began under Eldest Senior Brother's arrangements.
He first created a plan to pretend to die.
Junior Brother, what's wrong with Eldest Senior Brother?
Eldest Senior Brother...died...
Then he told me to pass a fake will,
that the key is to be buried with him.
We wanted to test Gong Shu Chou to see whose guess was right.
No!
Senior Brother...
Xiao Jiu.
No. I should call you Gong Shu Chou!
Why did you have to do this?
Acting this way, can you answer to
the Mohist family that took you in and taught you?
You said it quite well, Senior Brother.
No! You should call you Lord Ju Zi.
If you knew long ago that I was of the Gong Shu family,
would you still take me in?
Would you still teach me?
Perhaps long ago you would have been like today,
Destroying me completely!
A person like me, how can I,
Make someone as important as Ju Zi,
spend so much effort,
to create such a large trick?
Those aren't the real words from your heart.
They're not.
Those aren't the real words from your heart, right?
Ju Zi. Please believe my Senior Brother. His words aren't truly from his heart!
Just like when he entered the Mohist family, perhaps...
perhaps he had ulterior motives ! Or...
Or...or what? But in so many years, he has affection for our Mohist family!
He has affection for us brothers!
-Affection?-Our brothers-!
This is the affection you have for me!
Is there no affection between us brothers?
There is affection between us brothers!
-There is not!-There is!
I do not!
I, Gong Shu Chou, only have our Gong Shu family's hate for the Mohist family!
I came here to get your Mohist family's secrets!
And then help the Gong Shu family destroy your family!
To make you forever unable to restore yourselves!
To erase our previous shame for our Gong Shu Family.
Senior Brother. Why have you become like this
Xiao Ban. It's useless to say more.
Take Gong Shu Chou back to the Mohist family for punishment!
Stay.
Stay...Senior Brother.
Stay! Senior Brother! Senior Brother!
Junior Brother! Save me!
Save me!
Junior Brother! Save me!
Come up!
Junior Brother!
In the end, a lot of time passed.
Eldest Senior Brother and I found out, from Teacher's journals,
that when Gong Shu Chou first entered the Mohist family,
Teacher already knew his true identity.
But Teacher never told anyone.
He also never cared about the hate between the two sects.
He still taught the best mechanical skills to him.
He wanted to use this kindness to change him.
He even more wanted to use this method,
to dissolve the hundred years of hate between the two families.
After Eldest Senior Brother found out about this,
he became very regretful about what he did.
He blamed himself very much as well.
Eldest Senior Brother felt that he had betrayed the Mohist theory of loving everyone.
He wanted to apologize to Gong Shu Chou's face.
But in his entire life, he never found the chance.
Before he died, he told me,
not to bury him.
He wanted to sit right in the middle of that secret chamber.
To wait for Gong Shu Chou.
If Gong Shu Chou really returned,
he wanted to use this method to personally hand the secret chamber's key to him.
Then Gong Shu Chou's return this time, was for that secret chamber,
and the Mohist family's most important mechanism secret tactics?
Secret tactics?
Actually in this world, there is no such thing as Mohist secret tactics.
No!
This, is the true basis of the Mohist mechanics.
Giving up everything to go back to the truth.
Use a heart of great love to create a world of no enemies.
Give up everything...to return to the truth?
So, that's why Gong Shu Chou lost control in front of the previous Ju Zi's body.
And he still says it's the Mohist family who took so much from him.
Of course, something he fought for for so many years,
doesn't actually exist in this world!
That also means that the Xuan Wu Lock he mentioned is something harmful.
It's not only not a good thing.
If you move it, Mechanism City will be destroyed by your hands.
-It's that serious?-Of course!
Give up everything, and return to the truth.
Give up everything, return to the truth.
Tian Ming?
Tian Ming!
Tian Ming, what's wrong?
What a good "give up everything and return to the truth!
The reasoning is so easy,
but do you know how hard it is to do it?
I had to give up my power,
but in return, why did I only get pain,
disappointment,
and feelings of uselessness?
Why does everyone around me have a special skill? And they can all be in charge of an area?
But what about me?
-Tian Ming!-I'm only a wild child who doesn't even know how to read!
I'm not smart and don't have any martial arts skills.
Once I at least had my power.
But now I don't even have that!
I don't have anything!
In this place,
I don't even have my name!
I am just Jing Ke's son!
This is Jing Ke's son! What's so great about that?
I want to prove myself!
He can't do anything!
I want to prove myself!
I wanted to get your acknowledgements!
You aren't anything!
-I am Jing Ke's son, that's right! But I am even more so myself!-Tian Ming!
You've already done very well. Really.
So,
when Gong Shu Chou told me,
that I could save this Mechanism City,
my eyes filled with light and I didn't think about anything else.
Because I felt like this was a time to prove myself.
I thought, that the chance to prove myself had finally come.
But I didn't know if this chance was real, or fake.
Tian Ming.
You must understand one thing.
What decides how strong a person is,
is not his power.
it is not his martial arts either.
It is his inner heart.
Inner heart?
Right, it's your inner heart.
You two came back together?
What "you two"? Who came back together with him?
What is it?
I heard all you said just now.
Tian Ming, do you know this word?
This word...it looks like the word for hero.
Right, it's the word for hero.
The word for hero is like a strong adult protecting to weak small people.
You keep saying you want to be a hero. Then you must understand,
that you must be like this word.
A real hero isn't the strongest in martial arts and sits above everyone else.
Instead, they must do their best to protect others.
As long as you use your heart to do this, even if your power is weak and small,
you are still a real hero.
Good! Good! Well said!
Kid, you must remember what Old Ge and I said today.
I believe that one day, you will definitely use them.
Remember. If a person is kind and uses their heart to do things,
then even a small person will become very big.
If a person has thought of violence,
Even if he learns the world's best martial arts and gains all the secrets the world has to offer,
what can he do?
He can only become like Gong Shu Chou.
Because his heart has hate,
he wasted his whole life in vain.
During these days, I've done a lot of thinking as well.
You can spend your whole life without forgiving me.
That is your choice, I cannot interfere.
But you don't have the choice to continue wasting yourself away because of this feeling in your heart.
Going on like this, you'll only go onto a twisted road and ruin your whole life.
You have too many people's hopes on you. You are not living only as yourself.
Perhaps now you still don't understand what I've said.
But I truly hope that you can think about it well.
I will.
It's going to be an hour soon.
I really don't rely on these youngsters to get things done.
Brother Chui and I have finished off Yi Fu Zi just now.
-Then what about Wei Zhuang?-I didn't see him.
Brother Chui has gone looking.
Miss Rong! Miss Rong!
What is it?
Ah Xue was poisoned by Chi Lian. I transferred blood to her through martial arts.
I'm afraid that her poison hasn't been cured. Please hurry and take a look at her.
Okay, come. Careful.
Slowly, slowly.
Xiao Gao, what's wrong?
It's nothing.
I used too much martial arts just now and spent much inner power. I'll be okay after some rest.
Here. Take this.
Did you meet others just now?
There is also Bai Feng.
Bai Feng?
Wei Zhuang left me and Chi Lian to fight.
He took others to continue going forward.
Yi Fu Zi. Chi Lian.
Bai Feng. Gu Niang.
If we put it this way, no one has stopped Wei Zhuang.
Old Ge, think of something. What should we do now?
I'll go look for him. We cannot let him wander around Mechanism City as he pleases.
-I'll go with you.-You can't.
-You used so much inner power. Hurry and recover.-But-!
You cannot even stand straight! Do you want Young Sect Leader to have to carry you there?
Xiao Gao, get some rest.
I'll go with your Young Sect Leader.
Ban Dashi!
I think you should still take control of the nucleus.
Yes.
Don't persuade me.
I must go.
You're looking for Wei Zhuang.
I'm looking for Gong Shu Chou.
What if someone attack the nucleus?
Do you know the nucleus best or do I know it best?
Whether the nucleus has me there now, it's not important.
Then important thing is to not let Gong Shu Chou create trouble in Mechanism City!
If we don't bother about this, it will be the biggest threat to the Mohists. Do you get it?
Okay then. The few of you,
follow Ban Dashi and protect him.
Yes!
Let's go.
Be careful!
- Take Master Ban away. - No!
-If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!-I have to find Gong Shu Chou!
-Ban Dashi!-Go!
I want to find Gong Shu Chou too!
I cannot leave!
Let go of me!
Why did you go back on your word?
That day on the Seven Murder Faction's platform we agreed that all old grudges were to be dissolved and we would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Today, why are you helping the Qin soldiers attack Mechanism City?
What I'm going against is the Mohist family,
and not you.
-Who told you to stand among the Mohist family?-You-!
Besides, I swore that day that I had to restore the Seven Murder Faction.
What I'm doing now is allowing the Seven Murder Faction to go on the path to restoration.
Restore the previous glory?
But what you are doing is in direct conflict with the value of the Seven Murder Faction.
What did you say?
Seven Murder Faction works with the rich and powerful but it never depends on them.
The reason is to retain the absolute initiative.
Today, what difference is there between you and the Qin dogs?
Even if you flatten Mechanism City today and gain what you desire,
you cannot hold on to it.
Because you got it from someone else.
He can give it to you, and he could easily take it away too!
It's useless to say more. Make your move!
Are you afraid? Why won't you make a move?
Ge Nie, you don't want to force me. Based on my skills, I can definitely beat you!
Come! Fight with me!
Don't you want to kill me? I killed your father!
Come!
Fight with me!
I've never treated you as a brother. Your father died because of me!
Get revenge from me!
Let go of me!
Ban Dashi! Ban Dashi!
Let go!
Enough, haven't I already returned? Isn't that enough?
Ban Dashi, you're back? How are things?
Where's Ge Nie? Why didn't he return with you?
We ran into Wei Zhuang.
Old Ge was afraid that I'd be in danger so he had them bring me back.
No, I'll go find him.
You cannot go Miss Rong!
Move aside! Move aside! I have to go find Ge Nie!
I want to go take a look too. You all stand guard here.
We stopped the last fight at a tie.
But a tie isn't an end!
There are only two types of end! One is to win,and the other is to be completely ruined!
And I only accept a win!
Okay.
I lost.
You can take my life. But I hope you can let go of the Mohist family.
If you lost then you have no right to talk requirements with me!
Ge Nie, you are mine. I want your life.
I want all the lives of the people in Mechanism City too!
Don't force me.
One Hundred Steps Flying Sword.
That's impossible.
Your sword clearly was already broken.
Isn't it just a sword? You cared about it too much.
After it leaves the swordsman's grip, the sword is just a decoration.
As for the real objective of the sword is that there is no sword.
he is still a swordsman.
Originally, I could have given my life to you.
Who asked you to not stop when you should have?
Xiao Zhuang, you have lost.
Leave here.
Rong Er!
I've said it before, I was the one who saved your despicable life.
Besides me, no one is allowed to...
Why were you so silly? Rong Er, Rong Er!
