[bunniefuu]

♫ Ask the sword, the knife, to cast away resentment ♫

♫ I fear that new and old grudges will add to my troubles ♫

♫ Ask each tactic, each trick, to test who is more skilled ♫

♫ The ups and downs of life are difficult to predict ♫

♫ Ask the road and journey across remote lands ♫

♫ Where is my soul mate? I'm so lonely ♫

♫ Ask the rain and clear skies about the troubles on my mind ♫

♫ Face the moon every day and night ♫

♫ Ask the flowers and leaves, their colors are perfect ♫

♫ Happiness and pain are fleeting; how many springs remain? ♫

♫ Ask autumn and winter, the snowstorm continues ♫

♫ The rainbow scatters easily but the days are hard to endure ♫

♫ No one knows why the flowers blossomed early ♫

♫ Heaven doesn't laugh, for it has grown old ♫

♫ The pugilist world is small, but the rest of the world is vast ♫

♫ I've forgotten those who are gone ♫

♫ No one knows why the flowers withered early ♫

♫ Heaven feels no sorrow, for it has grown old ♫

♫ The heroes have died and little time is left ♫

♫ I've forgotten those who are gone ♫

[Word of Honor]

[Episode 18]

Chengling, carry this little beast.

Let's go.

Stinking brat, your lower body martial arts skills have improved.

Master!

You're making a fuss about nothing. Where's your propriety?

The road ahead is dangerous. If you don't want to die, follow my footsteps closely.

Qin Huaizhang's disciple, watch this foolish disciple of yours.

Stinking brat, I advise you to make better judgments.

Your cheap tricks and schemes won't work at all on me.

I can excuse your first offense, but if you dare try again,

I'll let Wen Kexing break your fingers.

Why me? Don't you know that my nickname is Philanthropist Wen?

How could I carry out something so torturous and cruel?

- A'Xu, you sort it out.
- Shut your mouth.

Master, why does the Longyuan Pavilion Leader live in such a remote place?

In a big world, there are all kinds of people.
[idiom: in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds]

But living in such a remote place,

with so many hidden mechanisms, it's frightening at every step.

What if he goes out himself and gets lost?

Isn't that like putting mouse traps under your own bed?

Putting mouse traps under your own bed?

Once, a mouse came into my room. I couldn't catch it no matter what I did.

So I put two mouse traps under my bed.

But when I woke up the next day, I forgot.

I took one step

and broke my foot in the mouse trap.

Stinking brat, people only ever hide

for the same few reasons.

Either he always feels like there's an enemy hunting him down,

so he must hide in a place that no one can find.

- Or else...
- Long Que is a rotten good person.

All his life, he's only ever been taken advantage of. He's never made enemies.

Qing Huaizhang's disciple, your master understood this best.

Then it must be the second reason: grief.

The person he wants to see, he can never see again.

He might as well go into hiding and see no one,

so as not to be reminded of that person.

If, in the future, your master dies,

I'd also want to find a place like this to hide

and see no one.

- Just like... just like Yu Boya breaking his qin?
- What?

Don't worry, it won't happen.

Master's internal skills are superb, and he always does good deeds. He will surely live a long life.

Those who k*ll and burn wear a golden belt.

Those who repair bridges and patch roads have not even a full corpse.

Do you want to die, stinking brat?

Senior Ye, lead the way.

Without entering the tiger's lair, how can you catch the tiger cub?

Don't you want to enter the Longyuan Pavilion?

It's right on the opposite side. What?

Are you afraid I'll trigger a hidden mechanism?

With three great masters escorting me,

can I really create a stir?

Silly brat, I'll carry him.

Let's go. Slowly.

Young Pavilion Master Long, forgive me.

In that case, I'll go over first, A'Xu.

Who said it's your turn? I'll go first.

- Senior!
- Old Monster!

I'm playing with you.

Childish.

Come over!

I'll cross first.

Careful!

I faked my fall, you're falling for real?

Master!

Uncle Wen!

Master!

Uncle Wen!

Master!

Lao Wen.

Lao Wen!

A'Xu.

Don't speak.

I'm alright.

It just feels like my internal organs switched locations.

I just need to get used to it.

- I don't know...
- Where's that jerk?

I didn't think he would really have the courage to burn his bridges.

If I've been smashed into little bits

shouldn't he be a pancake?

He never fell down.

Can he actually fly?

Odd.

I watched the position of Ye Baiyi's every step.

How is it that his step didn't trigger anything,

but my step tripped a switch?

This trap

must be triggered by weight.

Ye Baiyi's weight alone was not enough to trip it.

But our combined weight set it off.

And I thought that as long as we had Long Xiao in our grasp

they would not attack for fear of harming him.

I never expected that Dragon Pool Pavilion's

traps would be so remarkable.

Where is this place?

Why is it so dark?

I thought I'd arrived in the underworld.

This place isn't all that deep.

If you hadn't done that for me...

you wouldn't have passed out.

We must have set off a second trap

as we fell, which is how we ended in here.

Master!

Uncle Wen!

That's enough, get up!

Stop wailing and mourning.

Little fool. Use your brain!

That little jerk set off a trap and was the first one to fall down the gorge.

Do you think he would want to die with that pair?

There must be a trick.

That's right! Master surely won't die!

Uncle Wen won't die either!

Don't worry.

"Sinners live forever." Those two sinners

won't die that easily.
[t/n: Full saying: "Good people don't live long, but sinners live forever"]

Lao Wen, are you nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

Then why are you grabbing on to me?

I'm not.

Drug Men!

At first, I wanted you to die a grave-less death.

But then I thought, this is such a wonderful arrangement.

If I let you die without admiring it,

what a terrible waste that would be.

Look at these adorable children.

My best work.

These are the first Drug Men I produced. They are a little dense,

but they are still my first born.

I couldn't bring myself to destroy them,

so I've kept them here in secret all this time.

Sometimes when people passed by, I would open the trap

and toss them down to feed my children some blood and meat.

I've been gone a while, so my children must be starving.

Children, dinner will soon be served.

So the Drug Men were created by the Dragon Pool Pavilion.

Uncle Long was righteous all his life.

I never thought his beloved only son would be a sociopath.

Working with the Venomous Assassins to create the Drug Men.

Righteous!

He was an idiot!

I am his only son.

He knew that there was something in this world that could fix my illness,

yet he allowed me to continue living as neither a monster nor a human!

This is an affliction you were born with, and cannot be cured.

Even a magical pill that can cure the dead

would not be able to cause you to grow.

What do you know? Shen Yi Valley's treasured Yin Yang Book

can cure all the strangest and worst afflictions.

Back when Rong Xuan was severely ill with torn arteries

Yue Feng'er could still save his life.

It can surely cure my affliction! Definitely!

Alright, if you say so, it must be so.

“You are the knife, I am the meat."

As long as you are happy.

You!

Why am I wasting my breath on a dead man like you?

The old devil won't help me, but Heaven will.

Even without him, I can open the Armory.

Too bad, you won't get to see

what I will look like when I stand up.

Even if Rong Xuan was saved by the Yin Yang Book back then,

so what? He turned evil and became a monster in his madness.

Doesn't that matter to you?

Oh, I almost forgot. You are already a madman.

Of course you don't care.

What do you know?

You want to know the secret of the Ying Yang Book.

Well, you are talking to the right person.

However, I don't like to talk with my head tilted up.

Do what you will with that.

You are a remnant of Shen Yi Valley?

You could say that.

b*stard, who are you trying to trick?

All true disciples of Shen Yi Valley

are long dead.

Oh dear, I didn't manage to trick him.

Children, eat them clean!

Let's k*ll them all first.

Why are there so many of them?

A'Xu, can you carry on?

What if I can't? Don't waste your breath on useless questions.

If we can't get through this

wouldn't it be my fault?

Take back those useless words.

Lao Wen, "As I have gained a noble friend"

"I have not wasted my life."

"I am fortunate to have gained one's heart that is like mine."

Listening to you get poetic gives me a headache!

Long Que! Ye Baiyi is here!

Aren't you going to come and greet me?

Elder, do we go in?

It will be full of traps inside. I'll go in and check the situation first.

Wait right here, don't move.

Mere little tricks.

Elder Ye, watch out!

Kid!

Long Xiao! Get your a*s out here!

No wonder no one is able to find the Dragon Pool Pavilion.

The pavilion is just an illusion.

The true pavilion is in the bottom of a ravine.

Master!

Master!

Master!

You didn't die! Where's my master?

At this moment, your master has probably begun his journey on the bridge of no return.

If you hurry

you might be able to catch up with him.

You're lying!

Son of a b*tch!

I can count on one hand the times I've been chased till I've pissed my pants.

Why have they all been for you?

"When you show off too much you get struck by lightning."

A'Xu! My lord, have mercy this once.

Innocent ol' me has never had it this bad before

and now I've been tricked into this sad situation.

If I hadn't met you, my luck would have been all used up.

I've just had eight lifetimes of bad luck!

Let's go.

We seem to be in the belly of the mountain.

I'll scout ahead. You hold them off for a minute.

What, do you think I'd survive if you were eliminated?

It's not like we've never entered the tiger's den before.

I've thought of a story.
♫ Multitudes of the world ♫

- Once upon a time there was a man in the desert...
- Great philanthropist Wen
♫ are all connected by a thought ♫

I've heard this story before.

I'm going!
♫ Where life's paths meet
Space and time change and fold ♫

♫ Heaven is ever changing ♫

♫ There is no path back behind me ♫

A'Xu! Come on over!
♫ only my fingers like a sword ♫

♫ Can travel across dawn and dusk, and pass close to the heart ♫

♫ The mortal realm breaks, the earth and sky crack,
the river runs dry ♫

♫ If we don't return, all resentments melt into cloud and smoke ♫

♫ How many lifetimes will it take to fill the gap ♫

♫ Only life and death can end a shattered soul ♫

♫ The waves of the rivers and lakes return,
the universe remains ♫

♫ This fate that connects us cannot be cut,
I shamelessly steal the sun and moon in your eyes ♫

♫ if I meet with a hero ♫

♫ I will rise and fall with the wind yet remain between earth and sky. ♫

Thanks
♫ The mortal realm breaks, the earth and sky crack,

♫ I will rise and fall with the wind yet remain between earth and sky. ♫

Well this is an unexpected paradise.

Old brother!

Where is this place?

Old brother!

Old brother.

I never would have thought Dragon Pool Pavilion's mechanical puppetry

had reached the levels of god-like creation.

What is this devilish thing?

I never would have thought I'd live to hear you call something else devilish.

Watch out!

I just criticized it a little

did it have to blow itself up in anger?

A'Xu, this fellow's temper has almost caught up with yours.

Fool!

As expected, "sinners live forever."

That silly kid was crying like he lost his parents.

And here you are, entertaining yourself with cringeworthy jokes.

Elder, where is Chengling?

He asked you a question, Old Monster.

Where's our foolish disciple?

Lost.

Little kid, you run pretty fast.

This Dragon Pool Pavilion of mine is crammed with traps, and has a thousand little holes and paths.

At your level?

Even if I let you run free

you would starve to death before you could escape.

You are very stubborn. Not bad, not bad.

I like stubborn children.

The more stubborn your bones,

the more crisp the sound when I knock on them.

Have you figured it out?

Stop rushing me. Shut up.

Our foolish disciple is still in Long Xiao's hands!

I suppose because he's not your kid, you can just lose him!

Lao Wen, this formation is complicated and constantly changing.

It's not something that can be solved quickly.

Then forget solving it. Smash ten of them with a blow.

We can just force our way in. I'll clean the whole thing out with a fire.

Foolish young man. Do you know what purple molten metal is?

That's right, you don't know.

With that ignorant look of yours, you definitely have no idea.

Old monster, you still have the spare energy to make fun of me? Hurry up and solve it!

Let me tell you. All you need to know is

that all the traps in this valley come from purple molten metal.

Once it catches fire, it will explode.

The force of it can send all of this to the sky.

This is...

This is a map of the Dragon Pool Pavilion.

Let me go! Let me go!

Why are you holding me c*ptive? If you've got the guts just k*ll me!

Youngster, of course I'm not going to k*ll you.

You are the son of Zhang Yusen, right?

Twenty years ago, your father and my father

were good friends.

Why didn't you say that sooner?

Your father is also good friends with my grand master.

Since we have this relationship, we can have a good talk.

If we didn't have this relationship

I might let you have a quick death.

But exactly because your father was a good friend of Long Que's

I will never let you die an easy death.

Don't worry. The two of them are highly trained by me.

They will make sure you are very comfortable.

Where should we begin?

How about I dig out your eyeball first?

The human eyeball is a good chemical ingredient for forging machines.

Wa... wait!

Do you know why I like to be active underground?

Because from the moment I was born

I have lived in endless darkness.

Since my fate is to belong to the darkness,

I have made it my home.

What's happening?

You like moving around underground so much

could it be you were born to be a big sewer rat?

Purple molten metal!

That's right. Your rat hole is full of twists and turns. Even with a map

who would want to go through them?

Might as well blow through them all.

My children!

What have you done with my children!

That's my child's heart!

Drug men are your children. Mechanical people are also your children.

You're a rat that breeds a mixed bag.

This place of yours, you can't reach the sky or touch the ground, where would I find this much expl*sives?

Thankfully your children have enough

and very generously sacrificed themselves.

Here, I have one left.

- You can have it back...
- Lao Wen! Wait, wait.

Here, you tell us. Can we remove the needle from my disciple's head?

Zhou Zishu. You k*lled my children

and used their hearts as expl*sives.

I will never let your disciple go!

Even if I die, I will take him as repayment!

Little brat, you'd better think this through.

As far as I know,

a person who is whole and one whose limbs are crippled

will have two completely different reactions.

Would you like me to help you experience it?

I was born crippled.

You don't scare me!

I never intended to let you go anyway.

Elder Ye.

Why's this little thing stuck here?

Don't!

Why not?

What are you afraid of? It won't k*ll him.

If he dies I'll owe you another.

Master, you saved me again.

The word "again" is quite on point.

A'Xu, why didn't you check his birth sign and your year's luck before you accepted him as your disciple?

What an unlucky life this disciple of yours has.

Meeting trouble at every step, calamity every where he goes.

Master, they were going to dig my eyeball out.

Pavilion Master Long was a compassionate man, yet you are vicious to the core.

Compassionate?

That old fraud!

Watching his own son living a life of hell.

You can spew this garbage when you meet your father.

Master, this puppet and this villain

look a lot alike.

This is the puppet that helped us find the entrance to the underground palace.

Long Que must have created it in his filial son's likeness.

Some people are born to their parents in order to collect a debt.

Master, what's that smell? It stinks.

A walking corpse in a wild mountain dwelling.

I am unable to treat my guests well, I beg pardon.

[Long Que, Dragon Pool Pavilion Master]

This is Long Que?

Uncle Long?

Zishu. It really is your voice.

I thought I was dreaming.

Is your master well?

Uncle Long!

Uncle Long, you still remember me?

Master is no longer around.

I remember. Of course I remember.

When a person is in so much pain he cannot face reality

all he can do is immerse himself in memories of the past.

The moment I close my eyes I can see you

when you first entered the Four Seasons Mountain Villa.

How young and foolish you looked.

So Huaizhang is no more too.

That's right. Some people, when they die, it's as if they are still alive.

And some people, when they are alive, they might as well be dead.

The way this son of yours lives, he might as well have been strangled to death at birth.

He is not my son, he is an animal. My son died long ago.

I don't give a damn about your messed up father-son issues.

I also don't give a damn if you want to shut your eyes, plug your ears and lie to yourself.

But this little animal of yours is out in the world lying and harming people.

Making up stories under the banner of the Dragon Pool Pavilion. Don't you give a damn about that?

I can't give a damn.

Uncle Long!

This evil creature has imprisoned me here

for who knows how many years.

You did this to your own father?

You're not even fit to be an animal!

I'm an animal?

Then what good is he?

"A tiger is vicious but does not eat its young."

Yet he was so cruel to me.

He knew very well there was something that could cure me.

Yet he allowed me to live this worthless, hellish existence.

I treated him this way and he still wouldn't help me.

What kind of crap is that?

Everyone knows your father worried his heart sick over your illness.

What he's talking about is wanting me to retrieve the Yin Yang Book.

The Yin Yang Book in the Armory!


♫ The sky is gray as I cross the cold river,
my duties taken care of ♫

♫ Smiling at the absurdity of the moon's reflection in my cup ♫

♫ Who allowed me to roam around the world on horseback? ♫

♫ Who is drunk in their dreams but can't find
the homeland when they wake? ♫

♫ The cold rain of autumn kisses my windows ♫

♫ I don't mind hate and slander, but my melancholy persists ♫

♫ The spring breeze brings greenery along the river
But can't warm the ice in my heart ♫

♫ Is that our light that appeared out of nowhere? ♫

♫ I resent being unable to meet you earlier, but it is not too late ♫

♫ Don't let the flowers of the seasons down ♫

♫ Give up the adventures on horseback for a peaceful,
quiet life by the stream ♫

♫ The lights of thousands of families light up thousands of hills ♫

♫ The past disappears like smoke waves in a sandstorm ♫

♫ I will clear away my cold past and happily spend the rest
