Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 1 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, various heroes vied for supremacy, and the martial arts world was in turmoil. A legend circulated in the jianghu: "The supreme ruler of the martial arts world, with the treasured Dragon Slaying Saber, commands the world, none dare to disobey. If the Heaven Sword does not appear, who can contend with it?" Martial artists all eagerly sought the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword. It was early spring at this time.
Yu Daiyan had no time to admire the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. His master's ninetieth birthday was approaching, and he traveled day and night to return, wishing to get back to Wudang Mountain as soon as possible. Yu Daiyan was the third of Zhang Sanfeng's seven disciples of the Wudang sect. He had descended the mountain under his master's orders to punish evil and eliminate wickedness. Today was the day the Dragon Slaying Saber was forged.
The Changbai Three Fowls guarded the forging furnace day and night. Various sects in the jianghu closely monitored the progress of the Dragon Slaying Saber. A warrior in a white robe wanted to get a head start and snatch the Dragon Slaying Saber. The Changbai Three Fowls resisted desperately and reinserted the treasured saber back into the furnace. The white-robed warrior and the three of them fought intensely.
One of them was knocked into the furnace and burned to death on the spot. The white-robed warrior seized the opportunity to destroy the forging furnace and fiercely fought the remaining two. Yu Daiyan passed by this spot. He immediately stepped in to help, but the white-robed warrior mistakenly thought Yu Daiyan was also there to snatch the saber, so he unleashed the Shaolin Vajra Finger ultimate move. His methods were vicious, every move lethal.
An elder, one of the Changbai Three Fowls, picked up the treasured saber and resisted desperately, but he was knocked into the water. Suddenly, four masters from the Haisha Sect jumped out of the lake and burned the elder's entire body with salt poison. The white-robed warrior took the opportunity to jump into the water.
The Haisha Sect disciples hooked the elder's four limbs with iron hooks, forcing him to hand over the Dragon Slaying Saber, otherwise, they would dismember him. Yu Daiyan couldn't stand to watch; he immediately intervened to save him and used Wudang's ultimate techniques to drive away the four men, saving the elder. Today was the day Wudang Sect leader Zhang Sanfeng emerged from seclusion.
His disciples had been waiting at the entrance since early morning; only Yu Daiyan had not yet returned. The six senior disciples had collaborated on a painting as a birthday gift, and Zhang Sanfeng was very pleased. Yu Daiyan helped the elder to a dilapidated temple and gave him a Tianxin Detoxification Pill, advising him to quickly take the treasured saber to the Haisha Sect to exchange for an antidote, otherwise, his life would be in imminent danger.
But the elder vowed to protect the treasured saber even if it cost him his life. He drank an entire bottle of pills in one gulp and even proposed sharing the benefits of the Dragon Slaying Saber with Yu Daiyan. Yu Daiyan politely declined. As he was about to leave, he heard someone pursuing them outside. Immediately, salt poison packets were thrown in, one after another. The elder screamed in pain from the burning.
He deeply thrust the Dragon Slaying Saber into the wall. Yu Daiyan quickly hid. Haisha Sect disciples rushed into the dilapidated temple, forcing the elder to hand over the Dragon Slaying Saber. The elder flatly refused and was killed on the spot. Yin Yewang of the Tianying Sect led his men in pursuit, forcing the Haisha Sect leader to hand over the treasured saber. But he did not know the saber's whereabouts.
Yin Yewang released a flying eagle which pecked out the man's eyes, but the man still could not produce the Dragon Slaying Saber. Enraged, Yin Yewang killed all the Haisha Sect members and then led his team away. Yu Daiyan witnessed this scene. He felt that the Dragon Slaying Saber was an inauspicious object and wished to return to Wudang to let his master decide. Yu Daiyan quickly hired a small boat.
When the small boat was halfway, it collided head-on with a large ship. Yu Daiyan, relying on his agile movements and superb qinggong, successfully jumped onto the large ship. Yin Yewang immediately appeared, forcing Yu Daiyan to hand over the Dragon Slaying Saber. Yu Daiyan resolutely refused, so he wounded Yu Daiyan with mosquito-shaped needles.
Just as he was about to kill Yu Daiyan, Yin Yewang's sister, Yin Susu, stepped forward in time to stop him and offered two thousand taels of silver to entrust the escorts of Longmen Escort Agency to escort Yu Daiyan back to Wudang Mountain. Du Dajin of Longmen Escort Agency, along with two escorts and his men, traveled day and night, finally arriving at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
Six individuals, including the white-robed warrior, impersonated Zhang Sanfeng's six disciples and took Yu Daiyan away. Zhang Cui Shan came looking for Yu Daiyan shortly after. He ran into Du Dajin, only then learning that someone had impersonated a Wudang disciple and taken him away. The white-robed warrior used the Shaolin Great Vajra Finger to break all the tendons and meridians in Yu Daiyan's limbs, forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber. But he remained silent.
He was eventually thrown into the forest. Zhang Cui Shan arrived shortly after and hurriedly carried Yu Daiyan back to Wudang Mountain. Zhang Sanfeng used his internal energy to force the poison needles out of Yu Daiyan's body. Du Dajin of Longmen Escort Agency came to Wudang Mountain to apologize. Zhang Cui Shan, in a fit of rage, knocked Du Dajin to the ground. Du Dajin repeatedly explained that he was entrusted by someone with the surname Yin.
If Yu Daiyan died, the Longmen Escort Agency would also be exterminated. Zhang Cui Shan was unrelenting and fiercely attacked Du Dajin. A gold ingot fell out of Du Dajin's pocket. There were two deep finger imprints on it. Zhang Cui Shan therefore concluded that Du Dajin and people from the Shaolin Tianying Sect had conspired to harm Yu Daiyan.
Zhang Sanfeng immediately dispatched his sixth disciple, Yin Liting, and seventh disciple, Mo Shenggu, to follow Du Dajin back to Lin'an to help protect the family of Longmen Escort Agency. Du Dajin politely declined. Zhang Sanfeng sent Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cui Shan to Shaolin Temple to investigate the truth. He repeatedly instructed them to treat others with courtesy and act cautiously.
Zhang Cui Shan also wanted to go to Lin'an to investigate the person with the surname Yin, swearing to avenge Yu Daiyan. When Zhang Cui Shan arrived at the Longmen Escort Agency, he found that Du Dajin's entire family, old and young, had been exterminated. Du Dajin was still barely alive. He believed Zhang Cui Shan was the murderer. Shaolin disciples arrived in time. They attacked him en masse. Zhang Cui Shan resisted desperately.
Shaolin disciples died one by one from poison needles. Zhang Cui Shan spotted a young man in white and pursued him relentlessly. He eventually chased him to a large ship. Unexpectedly, a beautiful young woman emerged from inside. Zhang Cui Shan quickly apologized. A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. The young woman gave him an umbrella. On it was written the line "No need to return in the slanting wind and fine rain."
Zhang Cui Shan immediately grasped its meaning. The young woman fell in love with him at first sight and proactively stated that her surname was Yin. Zhang Cui Shan remembered that the person who entrusted Longmen Escort Agency to escort Yu Daiyan also had the surname Yin.
