Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 39 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Zhao Min worried that Yu Lianzhou would come in and see Mo Shenggu's corpse, and also see her and Zhang Wuji together. They would surely suspect that she killed Mo Shenggu. Zhao Min would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. She had no choice but to run out of the cave to distract Yu Lianzhou. Song Yuanqiao and others joined forces to deal with Zhao Min.
Zhang Wuji hurried out to relieve her, explaining to Song Yuanqiao that Mo Shenggu died in the cave. Song Yuanqiao and his three junior brothers immediately came to the cave. Seeing the tragically dead Mo Shenggu, they were heartbroken. Yin Liting determined it was Zhao Min's doing, and rushed out to kill her. Zhang Wuji tightly protected Zhao Min. No matter how much Zhang Wuji explained, Song Yuanqiao and the others still believed Zhao Min was the killer.
Zhang Wuji guaranteed Zhao Min's innocence with his life, but Yin Liting was relentless, forcing Zhang Wuji to kill Zhao Min to prove his loyalty. Before Zhang Wuji could answer, Yin Liting drew his sword and aimed it at Zhao Min. Song Yuanqiao and the others also rushed forward. Zhang Wuji, having no choice, had to acupoint Song Yuanqiao and the four men one by one. Zhang Songxi suspected that Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min were colluding to frame them.
Zhang Wuji was instantly speechless. He finally experienced the taste of being wronged. Zhao Min declared again that she did not poison and kill Yin Li, and strenuously defended Zhang Wuji, earnestly persuading Song Yuanqiao and the others to trust Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji swore he would find the killer and avenge Mo Shenggu. Zhao Min suddenly heard urgent hoofbeats in the distance. She and Zhang Wuji hid behind a large rock.
They saw Song Qingshu riding a horse, fleeing ahead, with Chen Youliang leading Beggar's Gang disciples in close pursuit. Zhang Wuji threw a stone to stop Song Qingshu. Chen Youliang suspected that Song Qingshu left without telling them to go back to Wudang to report. Song Qingshu did not want to poison his own father and Zhang Sanfeng, nor would he conspire with the Beggar's Gang to do anything that betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors.
He just wanted to die. Chen Youliang pressed him relentlessly. Song Qingshu thought of Mo Shenggu's tragic death and was filled with remorse, feeling that he had implicated Mo Shenggu, leading to his death by Chen Youliang. He was heartbroken. Only then did Zhang Wuji and Song Yuanqiao and others learn the truth about Mo Shenggu's murder. Song Qingshu refused to cooperate with Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang showed him Zhou Zhiruo's iron hand ring.
Song Qingshu immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake. Chen Youliang told him to poison the Wudang disciples and use them to lure out Zhang Wuji, taking the opportunity to destroy the Ming Cult, and then enthrone Shi Wenlong as emperor. Chen Youliang promised that after the deed was done, he would help Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo get married. From then on, Song Qingshu would be able to bring glory to his ancestors, have a wife and children.
Song Qingshu was swayed by his sweet words. Song Yuanqiao saw this scene; he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, wanting to rush over and teach Song Qingshu a lesson, but he was acupointed and couldn't move. Song Qingshu wanted to bury Mo Shenggu, but Chen Youliang firmly disagreed, talking Song Qingshu into going back with just a few words.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji immediately unbound the acupoints of Song Yuanqiao and the others, and knelt down on the spot to confess his "crime" to them. Yin Liting also apologized to Zhang Wuji. Song Yuanqiao swore to kill Song Qingshu with his own hands to avenge Mo Shenggu. Zhang Wuji persuaded him to give Song Qingshu another chance to reform. Song Yuanqiao sincerely apologized to Zhang Wuji. He felt ashamed to face Zhang Sanfeng and wanted to atone with death.
Zhang Wuji quickly stopped him. Yin Liting kindly advised Song Yuanqiao. Zhao Min felt that Song Yuanqiao and the others' top priority should be to return to Wudang to protect Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Wuji decided to return to the city to investigate the Beggar's Gang's conspiracy, then rescue Zhou Zhiruo, and then return to Wudang. Zhang Wuji bid farewell to Song Yuanqiao and the others one by one, and then left with Zhao Min.
Zhao Min woke up early to find that Zhang Wuji had left without saying goodbye, only leaving a letter. She hurriedly came over, complaining that Zhang Wuji still didn't believe in her innocence and was wary of her everywhere. Zhang Wuji believed she hadn't poisoned anyone, and wanted to first rescue Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo, then investigate the real culprit of Snake Island to clear Zhao Min's name. Zhao Min couldn't help but hug Zhang Wuji tightly.
Zhang Wuji understood her deep affection for him, and frankly explained to Zhao Min that he would never submit to the imperial court, and that there was a difference between Mongols and Han, so the two of them could not be together. But Zhao Min didn't care about any of this; she only loved Zhang Wuji in this life. Zhang Wuji had no choice but to bring up his engagement with Zhou Zhiruo.
Moreover, he knew that sooner or later he would meet Zhao Min's father and brothers on the battlefield, and he and Zhao Min would eventually fall into an irreversible predicament. Zhang Wuji asked Zhao Min to forget him, but Zhao Min couldn't do it. Zhao Min watched Zhang Wuji's receding back, her heart ached as if pierced by a knife. She immediately decided to withdraw from the jianghu, hiding in a nunnery to cultivate her mind.
The Xuanming Elders later found her and wanted to take her back to report to Prince Ruyang. Zhao Min firmly refused, even threatening to die. Zhang Wuji first found Zhou Dian and learned that the Five Loose Immortals used a trick to lure the tiger out of its mountain lair to rescue Zhu Laosi from the Beggar's Gang. Zhou Dian took Zhang Wuji to the secret room to visit the seriously injured Zhu Laosi.
Zhang Wuji hurriedly explained why he couldn't save him in the Maitreya Grand Hall. Zhu Laosi understood his situation and no longer pursued the matter. Zhang Wuji wanted to remove the iron nails embedded in Zhu Laosi's legs. Zhou Laosi insisted on not drinking the anesthetic soup, wanting to remember today's pain. Zhou Laosi endured the severe pain, asking Zhang Wuji to use his internal energy to remove the iron nails one by one. Zhang Wuji praised his strong willpower.
Zhu Laosi wanted to return to the front line as soon as possible to command the battle. Zhang Wuji saw him off. Before leaving, Zhu Laosi reminded Zhang Wuji to be wary of Zhao Min. Zhang Wuji clearly stated that he had already severed ties with Zhao Min and would thoroughly investigate the real culprit of the Snake Island tragedy. Zhu Laosi also mentioned that Zhou Zhiruo was trapped by the Beggar's Gang.
Zhou Dian saw that Zhu Laosi still resented Zhang Wuji for saving Zhao Min instead of him back then, which was why he deliberately embarrassed Zhang Wuji in public. Zhou Dian grumbled indignantly, but Zhang Wuji didn't take it to heart at all, instead, he kindly advised Zhou Dian. Song Qingshu, under Chen Youliang's orders, returned to Wudang. He saw Zhang Sanfeng practicing Taiji sword in the heavy rain. Song Qingshu hurriedly knelt down to confess his guilt.
Zhang Sanfeng not only did not blame him but also showed him great care and concern. As soon as the sudden rain stopped, Song Qingshu nervously offered tea to Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng earnestly taught him, encouraging him to be a man of integrity and dignity, and placed high hopes on him.
Just as Zhang Sanfeng picked up the teacup to drink, Song Qingshu finally realized his mistake, immediately stopped him, admitting he had poisoned the tea, and fully confessed how he was used by Chen Youliang and accidentally killed Mo Shenggu. Song Qingshu knelt to admit his error. In fact, Zhang Sanfeng had known about this all along. At this moment, the Wudang heroes appeared.
Song Yuanqiao also knelt down to confess his guilt to Zhang Sanfeng, wanting to kill Song Qingshu. Zhang Sanfeng pleaded with him to give Song Qingshu a chance to reform. In a fit of anger, Song Yuanqiao drove Song Qingshu out of Wudang. Zhang Wuji and Zhou Dian broke into the Beggar's Gang headquarters. They first rescued Zhou Zhiruo, only to find that her acupoints had been sealed.
Zhang Wuji was unable to unseal them immediately, so he had to first demand Shi Wenlong hand over Xie Xun. Chen Youliang spoke harshly to Zhang Wuji, also falsely accusing him of molesting Zhou Zhiruo. Zhang Wuji asked Zhou Zhiruo to come forward and testify, but she suddenly fell unconscious. Seeing this, Chen Youliang rallied the Beggar's Gang disciples to kill Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji told Zhou Dian to take care of Zhou Zhiruo; he wanted to capture Shi Wenlong to force the Beggar's Gang into submission.
