Miss Ji
Xiaofu
l made a special trip to see you
but you don't even want to see me
Do we really have to act like strangers?
We are engaged after all
lt's already over Please don't talk about it anymore
All right, l won't talk about it
How are you?
l'm fine. Thank you
Actually, l came here to ask you something
What is it?
Xiaofu
ls there anything l can do to save our relationship?
Like l said, l don't want to talk about it
ls it because l'm not good enough? l can change. Please tell me, please!
lt's not your problem. lt's all my fault
l failed you, Master Yin
l have sworn l will be single for the rest of my life
- Why do you have to persecute me? - Xiaofu
Are you hiding anything from me? Please be honest with me
- Are you in love with someone else? - Leave me alone
l can only say l'm sorry
- Please forgive me - Don't go!
- You are hurting me - l'm sorry
Just go, and don't you ever come to see me again
Xiaofu
l must see you again. l must see you
unless you give me an explanation
How come the boat still hasn't arrived?
Young master!
Young master
Young master!
Come on, get up
Are you ok?
- Thank you for your help, Taoist - Don't mention it
You wicked Taoist, do you know he is a criminal wanted by the imperial court?
- He is a rebel from Yuan Zhou Demon Sect - Wait
Who are you? How dare you meddle in this affair?
Everyone has the right to meddle in anything
l have already killed many people today
You'd better leave right this minute otherwise l will show no mercy. Go!
You are seriously hurt
You have saved my life, Taoist Chang Yuchun can't thank you enough
Master Chang, you don't have to thank me
You... what happened to you?
My master is indeed Zhou Ziwang the leader of Yuan Zhou Revolution
After my master got into trouble
l was responsible for escorting young master southward from Xinyang
The Yuan soldiers attacked us a few times
Unfortunately, young master was killed by the Yuan soldiers
and l was injured by two foreign monks
lt's better if you stop talking
Let's bury your young master first
Master Chang, this little girl is...
She is really pitiful
She is the daughter of a boatman
One time when we were travelling on his boat he was being pursued by the Mongolians
After she lost her family l didn't want to see her live by herself
so l brought her along
Young lady, what's your name?
Zhou Zhiruo
Zhou Zhiruo, this is a very beautiful name for a girl from a boatman family
Taoist, l have made some rice and fish for Brother Wuji
l have already picked out all the bones
Sorry to trouble you
Not at all, l'm accustomed to doing it
Taoist, the food for you and Brother Chang is over there
Please come out and enjoy it
- Excellent. After you - After you
Brother Wuji, try this
l have no appetite at all
Just try a little bit
See? l've told you it's very delicious
Master Chang, you should have more meat
l can't eat that much
True Master Zhang people in Ming Sect are all vegetarians
Master Chang, l'd like to say something disagreeable to you
l hope you don't mind
Just call me Yuchun What is it about, Taoist?
You are still young and strong l can see a good future awaiting you
l'll say, you should break away from the Demon Sect
while you still can
l have sworn never to betray Ming Sect
But people might look down upon you
l don't care what other people think
The most important thing is to have a clear conscience
Taoist, there is something l want to ask you
Please go ahead
The young master in there seems to be seriously poisoned
To be honest with you he only has one month to live at most
My internal body is seriously injured too
l'm actually on my way to see a highly skilled doctor
That doctor has the power to resurrect the dead
l hope l can bring the young master along
Maybe he knows how to save him
Are you talking about the Healing Sage of Butterfly Valley, Hu Qingniu?
So you have heard of Uncle Hu before
l know he is associated with the Demon Sect and he has a weird temper
lf Wuji becomes involved with the Demon Sect
l'd rather see him killed by the poison
l understand what you mean, Taoist
Normally Uncle Hu wouldn't cure any people belonging to other sects
But since l owe you a favour, Taoist maybe he will make an exception
That's true, but...
lf he is going to die anyway why don't we give it a try?
Brother Chang, Wuji is...
Wuji, it's all right. Don't be scared
Taoist, how is he?
Master Chang, you're right
l've decided to take your advice
- Great - When should we begin the journey?
- As soon as possible, of course - Good
Uncle Hu doesn't like dealing with the righteous sects
lf you come with us l'm afraid we might displease him
You mean, you don't want me to go with you?
l'm sorry, but we have no other alternative
lf you don't trust me, Taoist
after Wuji and l arrive at Uncle Hu's place l will go to Wudang as a pledge
lf anything bad happens to Wuji you can kill me immediately
lt's not necessary
l entrust Wuji to you because l think you are reliable
- l will take good care of Wuji - Then Wuji's life is in your hands
Regarding Zhiruo l'd like to get her settled
You mean you want to take her to Wudang?
Wudang is a male dominant sect
lt's not an appropriate place for a girl
What if l entrust her to Ermei Sect?
This is a good idea
Zhiruo, do you want to go to Mount Ermei with Taoist?
Yes
- All right then, let's begin the journey - Ok
True Master Zhang, this direction will lead to Butterfly Valley
l think it's time to say goodbye
- All right - Wuji, let's go
Great-grandteacher
Wuji, after your body recovers
Master Chang will take you back to Wudang
You have to be good
We will have to be apart just for a short while
Don't be so upset
Wuji, let's go
Wuji, are you ok? Let me carry you on my back
No, you are injured too l can walk on my own
Wuji...
Wuji, we finally arrive
Butterfly Valley is right in front of us
Uncle Hu, Chang Yuchun would like to see you
Uncle Hu, nice to see you
- Who is this child? - Mr Hu
He is Zhang Wuji the only son of Wudang Master Zhang
Wudang? Why did you bring him here?
This is the story
His great-grandteacher has saved my life
So l hope you can make an exception for him, Uncle Hu
You were very generous to make such an offer
But l owe his great-grandteacher nothing Why do l have to save him?
l don't think a righteous sect needs to seek help from a demon sect like us
But Wuji's mother is the daughter of White Eyebrowed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng
So he is only partly associated with righteous sect
What?
You're White Eyebrowed Eagle King's grandchild? That makes a huge difference
Are you willing to save him?
Let's go inside first
Let me make this clear
l promise to save you mainly because of Heavenly Eagle Sect
Your great-grandfather used to be one of the Four Master Guardians in Ming Sect
Although he betrayed us and established Heavenly Eagle Sect
he is still family
l want you to stay with your great-grandfather upon recovery
And you can't go back to Wudang
- l won't join Heavenly Eagle Sect - Uncle
l have promised his great-grandteacher he won't be forced into Heavenly Eagle Sect
lf that's the case, just take him away
What about me, Uncle? Are you willing to save me?
No problem, since you belong to Ming Sect
Great, you don't have to save me Please save Wuji instead
He can substitute me lt's going to be the same
The same? Do you know you only have seven days to live?
lt's ok, l don't care if l die
l just want to fulfil my promise to his great-grandteacher
Brother Chang, please don't do that
Don't worry, l'll be just fine
l can find myself another doctor
Another doctor?
You have been struck by the Mongolian's Heart-Splitting Palm
You will die on your way before you find another doctor
Brother Chang, don't go You should stay here
- l'm the one who should go - Wuji
- Let go of me... - Wuji...
Wuji
Step aside
Amazing, he has been struck by the Xuan Ming Divine Palm
His body is filled with cold and deadly toxin but he is still alive
This is a rare case l will have to do some research
Uncle Hu you're finally willing to save him
Don't get so excited l just want to prove my medical skill
l'll cure him first and then kill him
Uncle Hu, what's the point of doing that? Uncle Hu!
Why aren't you leaving?
Get out!
Wuji, l'm going to treat your internal chill
l will use moxa treatment on your twelve acupoints
You have to tolerate the burning sensation
Where is Brother Chang?
Brother Chang...
Brother Chang!
Wuji
l didn't see you when l woke up l thought you were gone
l won't leave without knowing your situation
Did you sleep here last night?
lt's ok. Uncle Hu threw me out
So l could only stay here and wait for you
He is just detestable l'll stay here with you
- Wuji - Let's share bliss and misfortune together
This little girl looks delicate and pretty
And she is very agile too Come on, greet Priestess Miejue
Priestess Miejue, it's very nice to meet you
- Good girl. What's your name? - Zhou Zhiruo
You have a beautiful name. How old are you?
l'm 10 years old
Now get up
She is quite brawny which is good for learning martial arts
Zhiruo, will you be interested if l teach you martial arts?
l will learn attentively whatever you teach me, Priestess
Wonderful
Ermei Sect has strict and clear rules and we adopt a very austere lifestyle
You will only have meagre food selection Do you think you can endure that?
l'm sure l can
True Master Zhang this little girl is adorable
- l want her to be my disciple - That's excellent
l can finally put my mind at ease
Zhiruo, go ahead and greet your teacher
Teacher
Good girl. Come on, get up
Zhiruo, you have to be a good student from now on
You have gotten better in the last few days
meaning my medical skill is masterly
But my hands and feet are still very cold
lt will take you some time to fully recover
When will l fully recover?
Well, you'll know when it happens
Mr Hu, l don't think your medical skill is that good
You know nothing, kiddo
l'd rather not knowing anything Now l understand
Understand what?
l understand why you refuse to treat Brother Chang
The truth is, you don't know how to treat Heart-Splitting Palm. Am l right?
Are you kidding? No one knows how to treat it except me
Then treat him and prove it to me
Don't you try to goad me
People call you the Healing Sage of Butterfly Valley. lt's just a lie
Don't call me the Healing Sage of Butterfly Valley
l'd rather be called The One who lgnores the Dying
Fine, actually my godfather has taught me the basic medical skills
l have already learnt of
the Twelve Regular Pulses and Eight Extraordinary Pulses
You amaze me, kiddo
The people who ask for my treatment always fawn upon me
and beg me by all means
You are the first person who talks to me like this
Fine, let me ask you How do you prepare a prescription?
How heavy the prescription should be? Do you know how to use acupuncture?
- l... - You what? You don't know?
l can look into the books
Sure, there are plenty of medical books over there
You are welcome to use them
But you'll just be wasting your time
You are indeed reading my books l'm fine with that
But those on the top shelf are meticulously written
You are not allowed to touch them
ls that clear?
Third Aunt, what's the matter? l've told you not to come unless necessary
Buhui is sick, you should go to see her
Buhui is sick? How is she now?
Buhui has been having fever in the past few days
That's why l come here to ask you if you can see her
All right, l will try to think of a way
- You'd better go now - Ok
Xiaofu, who is she?
Just a distant relative. My mom sent her to pass a verbal message to me
Really? Teacher wants to see us
Teacher, is there anything we can do for you?
Recently, various sects
have become less enthusiastic about the Dragon Sabre
Right, master
Since Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu died
people don't seem to care about where Xie Xun is
l suppose
Heavenly Eagle Sect might have become less alert
lf we can make use of this chance
and target Bai Guishou
we might be able to find out the Dragon Sabre's whereabouts
You're really smart, Teacher Do you want us to investigate it?
- Yes - Then what should we do?
l want you and Xiaofu to go down the mountain
and keep a close eye on Heavenly Eagle Sect, especially Bai Guishou
Teacher, then when should we leave?
You should leave at once
Xiaofu, is there anything you want to tell me?
No, nothing, Teacher
- Brother Chang, it's time to eat - Wuji
Brother Chang, how are you feeling? Brother Chang!
My chest is so painful
Wuji, l think l'm going to die soon
Brother Chang, you're not going to die
Brother Chang, l've been reading Mr Hu's medical books
l have learnt a few things about treating Heart-Splitting Palm
Let me treat you with acupuncture You might feel more comfortable
Sure, feel free to do so
But you'd better hurry The pain is killing me
Go ahead
Do it!
Brother Chang...
Mr Hu, what is happening to Brother Chang?
Don't ask me
- Brother Chang... - Wuji, l feel much better now
Does this mean l have succeeded?
Brother Chang
Uncle Hu, l came to say goodbye
You have fully recovered?
Wuji has been treating me with acupuncture and giving me prescriptions
l have almost fully recovered
Brother Chang, it's all because of
Mr Hu's medical books and his guidance
Nonsense, l didn't help you with anything
Anyway
thanks to both of you for saving my life
l can understand why you feel so happy
Your injury from Heart-Splitting Palm was cured at last
Unfortunately, your life has been shortened by 40 years
What is that supposed to mean, Uncle Hu?
Originally, you would live till 80
But because of improper use of prescription and acupuncture
you will have to die when you reach 40 years old
Brother Chang l have put your life in jeopardy
The most important thing is to live meaningfully
To me, 30 years is quite enough already
lt's useless to live till 100 if living an ignorant life
Uncle Hu, sorry for all the trouble lt's time for me to go
All right
Brother Chang
Wuji, don't be upset
Brother Chang, because of my ignorance you can only live till 40
- l'm so sorry - Silly boy
if you didn't save me l couldn't even live till 40
lt's getting late, l'd better go now
Brother Chang, we've been spending every moment together in the past month
l'll be all by myself after you are gone
Wuji, listen to me. You need to stay here to let your body recover
Three months later l will come back to see you
lf you are fully recovered by that time l will take you to Mount Wudang
- Goodbye - Goodbye
- l'm exhausted - Let's take a break at the pavilion
lt's you?
Why did you take me here? Let go...
l've been looking for you everywhere
What do you want from me? l don't even want to see you
l came here to ask for your forgiveness
l feel deeply sorry about last time
l have already gotten over it Please, don't mention it anymore
l must take responsibility for what l have done
Marry me, please l will cherish you for the rest of my life
l don't want to marry anyone
Yin Liting and your engagement is off Why don't you just marry me?
Ying Xiao, l don't want to hear it
You have ruined my life
l let Master Yin down because of you
l swear l didn't know anything about this
Xiaofu, do you regret meeting me?
lt doesn't matter
l just won't marry you in any case
l don't want to hurt Yin Liting again
You were the one who ruined my marriage!
- Who are you? - l'm Yin Liting
Miss Ji's fiance
l'll make you pay for what you have done
Please stop!
Stop fighting!
Please, please stop!
Xiaofu!
Go ahead and kill me!
Master Yin, l owe you a great debt
Today l can finally return the favour
Sister...
What happened?
Someone was trying to rob us He hit you and then you fainted
Where is the robber now?
l drove him away
Come on
That man dared to rob us on Mount Ermei
lt must have taken a lot of guts for him to do that
Are you ok?
Let's go then
Sister, l'm getting hungry Let's go inside and get something to eat
All right
Oh no, where is my money bag? lt was right here a while ago
You must have dropped it
Right, l must have carelessly dropped it
when l was fighting the robber
How could you be so negligent? Forget it, l have money
Sister, l can't use your money
And also, my mom specially embroidered that money bag for me
l want to go looking for it myself Why don't you order something to eat first?
Sure, but come back as soon as possible
- Third Aunt! - You're back
- Where is Buhui? - She is sleeping
Buhui, are you alright? l was so worried about you
Buhui, do you know how much l miss you?
Good girl, Buhui
Bai Guishou, l've been waiting for you
Who are you?
l'm Ding Minjun the Vicious Hand from Ermei Sect
- What do you want? - l want to know where Xie Xun is
l have no idea where he is
Yes you know
But if you refuse to tell me l will have to make you suffer
Bai Guishou, are you ok?
Who are you?
Missy, you can't even recognize
one of the Five Wanderers of Ming Sect Peng Yingyu Monk Peng
l doubt if you are worthy of my attention
Bai Guishou, l'll take care of it You can go ahead and leave
Thank you
Missy, you are so beautiful l just don't want to see you die
You wicked monk how dare you stand in my way
- l'm going to kill you! - Sister, please don't
Don't stop me, l must kill this man
But l won't let him die so easily
First, l will take his right eye
and then his left eye
Then l will chop off his limbs
so that he will beg me to kill him!
Ermei is supposed to be a righteous sect
But some of the sect members are so callous and cruel
They don't even deserve to be called human beings!
How dare you insult my sect?
Sister, please let him go
l know
you always despise me
You think you outplay me in every way
Teacher appointed you her heir
and betrothed you to Master Yin
But there is one thing you truly excel at
l can't believe you dared give birth to an illegitimate child
You were already engaged How could you do such a shameless thing?
That's not true, l didn't do that
You can't deny it l secretly followed you on that day
and saw everything
You secretly gave birth to a girl named Buhui, am l right?
- You found out everything? - Of course l did
- And l'm going to tell Teacher about that - No, Sister
l beg you not to tell Teacher Please, l beg you
All right, but you have to kill him
What are you waiting for?
You are so despicable l can understand why you humiliated me
But how could you humiliate your sister? You really have no conscience at all
Bai Guishou, are you ok?
Monk Peng, these people are ruthless and brutal
l was worried about you so l decided to come back at last
You lost one eye because of me
l can't thank you enough
Now, l want to use my own life to repay my debt of gratitude
But... there is something
- Please help me to... - Tell me
Bai Guishou, what is it?
Bai Guishou!
- Sister, please - Bai Guishou!
- You evil woman, l'm going to kill you! - No, master
l must kill this evil woman
And she knows your secret Why don't you kill her yourself?
Master, l appreciate your concern
Although she has been very heartless to me l can't be disloyal to her
She is my sister after all
l beg you not to kill her
Fine, l'll let you live because your sister interceded for you
But you have damaged my eye l must teach you a lesson
Sister, please take care of yourself
Mr Hu
Your hands and feet have gotten colder in the last few days
And also, sometimes l will tremble for no apparent reason
When l used acupuncture on you earlier today
the Three Visceral Cavities of your body
didn't respond to the needles at all
l believe the prescriptions that you've been taking are all wasted
The toxin has already entered the Three Visceral Cavities
Three Visceral Cavities? You mean one of the Six Secondary Organs?
Once the toxin enters the Upper Middle and Lower Visceral Cavities
you can get killed by it at any moment
So starting from tomorrow
l want you to soak yourself in the hot spring every day
Combating the cold with hot water
can expel the cold out of your body
and prevent the toxin from spreading
What are you waiting for?
