Lou
Oi's reason for killing the two is because they've seen the real
disabled right hand. Ting Fong says that even if he kills all the people
in the world, he would not be able to get rid of his own inner demons.
Lou Oi laughs sarcastically and says that Lin Jun couldn't protect
himself and needs a woman to beg for forgiveness for him. He adds that
Lin Jun should be feeling like killing himself(1). After giving it much
thought, Lin Jun decides to be Lou Oi's disciple. Siu
Lung and the others arrive in Ngai state. Sun Ling Gwan and his
household manager Hiu Ngai Mau come to meet them. He orders the doors to
the city be closed for the people until Jiu Sin enters safely. The
common people are not pleased. Lung
Yeung Gwan wanted to leave the city to meet with his teacher Jau Hin and
his classmate Kam Ching, so he ordered the doors be open. When Sun Ling
Gwan and his group enter the city, he has a argument with Lung Yeung
Gwan. Siu Lung stops them and Lung Yeung Gwan gets a favorable
impression of him. He sees that the young woman in the wagon looks like
Chun Ching and thinks that something's wrong with his eyes. Sun
Ling Gwan asks Siu Lung about the whereabouts of Madame Ping Yuen and
her son. Siu Lung says that he knows of his plot and adds that he has
offended Jiu Muk in the Jiu state. He then comments that he was just
thinking about joining with Sun Ling Gwan, who doesn't truly believe his
words. Lin
Jun finds Lou Oi to be his teacher, but Lou Oi tells him to bow to him a
hundred times to express his sincerity. After doing so, he says that he
won't take Lin Jun as his student. Ting Fong couldn't take it anymore
and appears to denounce him. Lin Jun asks Lou Oi to kill him. Lou Oi
remarks that even death must be at the hands of another(2). Lin Jun then
cuts off his left arm while Ting Fong hurriedly tries to stop him.
To
find out where the Mat Luk (book) was hidden, Siu Lung decides to try
'hitting the grass and surprising the snake'(3). The prince of Ngai
state forcibly enters Jiu Sin's room to take advantage of her, but is
stopped by Siu Lung. After
Siu Lung investigates the waterway, he meets with the woman who looks
like Chun Ching again. Lung
Yeung Gwan temporarily places Jau Hin and Kam Ching in a waterside
pavilon to live in. Jau Hin says that he has discovered a lusterous new
star that has appeared in the skies in the Ngai state. He believes it to
be the birth of a new savior who will end the war between the seven
states. When
Sun Ling Gwan invites Jiu Nga, he finds out that his study is on fire
and goes to see if the book is safe or not. When Siu Lung takes the
book, Sun Ling Gwan suddenly appears. Notes
for Episode 14 1.
Well, it was considered belittling and humiliating for a swordsman to
beg another to spare his life. It's even more so if a woman does it for
him because it would seem that he was useless. Better die than to suffer
that, I guess. 2.
Lou Oi is trying to make fun of Lin Jun here. He's commenting about
useless he is, if he has to ask another to kill himself. 3. Why do they like adding so many sayings like this?! This one is used quite often though. It can mean to reveal your identity or intentions to the other party and to take advantage of their confusion to complete what you set out to do... something like that. |
