Mister Duan!
It seems that
you really do love him.
You know what
I feel for you
but why did you have to kill him?
He is my sworn enemy!
Didn't he say
he would do his best to stop me?
Since that day at Shao Shi hill, I've lost what last shred of dignity I have.
How could I let him live?
He was just lucky!
You know his martial arts
are weak.
He does whatever he likes!
Since that day,
everyone's been talking about me.
How can I live like this?
Cousin Brother,
why do you care so much
about winning and losing?
If you're so concerned about him, why don't you marry him?
Why are you following me?
Cousin Brother,
my feelings for you are real!
Don't you know that?
Your feelings for me are real?
I saw everything you did
with that Duan bastard
in the house by the lake.
Isn't it true?
That Xi Xia warrior
by the lake...
Yes,
I disguised myself as Lee Yan Zong
No wonder...
You understand now, don't you?
Cousin Brother Shelter from the rain, eh?
When I arrived, you were trying to hide something, weren't you?
You know
what you've done.
I didn't do anything!
Why didn't you stop him
when he touched your face?
You're slandering me!
Cousin Brother
I pray that you'll get your wish,
and marry the Xi Xia Princess.
Then you can become the ruler of the Yen Kingdom!
Mister Duan's feelings for me were sincere,
but I never once cared about his feelings.
Now he's dead because of me.
I've wronged him!
I no longer want to live.
Why don't I die with him
to repay his love for me.
Mister Duan,
let me die with you!
Found anything?
Mei Jian and Zhu Jian have gone looking for him.
They're back!
Let's go.
Did you find him?
Master,
we've looked everywhere
but there's no trace of Master Duan.
Where could he have gone?
Miss Wang,
did your Cousin Brother push you down here as well?
Miss Wang,
wake up! Miss Wang!
Mister Duan,
did I really die with you?
We're not dead,
we're still alive!
Liar!
Who are you,
how dare you insult me!
You forced Miss Wang to kill herself,
and you still want to lie about it.
You better shut your mouth!
Mister Mu Rong
I've known your father a long time
We admire each other
I consider myself your uncle.
How rude of you
to speak like that to me!
I'm sorry,
please forgive me.
Fine,
since you've asked for forgiveness
and because your father is my friend
I won't hold this against you.
But let me tell you this
our Prince wishes to marry the Xi Xia Princess
and I must help him to do so.
So don't get in his way.
Jiu Mo Zhee
Don't push your luck!
Because of my friendship with your father,
of course I won't kill you.
But you better leave Xi Xia as quickly as possible.
And what if I don't?
If you don't leave,
I'll have to
deal with you myself.
Mister Duan
I thought you were dead!
But luckily you're not.
The Gods have been kind to us.
Actually,
I like you as well
but I can't have feelings for two people at once.
Now it's all better.
Let him be King.
I'm free at last.
You're losing it!
Master Duan,
if you forgive me
for being cold to you,
I'm willing to be with you
and never be apart from you.
What about your cousin brother?
Don't you love him anymore?
He never cared about me.
I know now
who truly loved for me from the start.
Who cared for me
even more than he cared for his own life.
Do you mean me?
Yes.
My cousin brother
only wants to be the ruler of Yen.
He doesn't care about anything else,
especially not me.
If your cousin brother decides not to be a ruler anymore,
and treats you better,
would you...
Do you think I'm that kind of person?
Today, I will become your wife.
If I'm not sincere to you,
I will be guilty of betraying your sincerity.
This is all your father’s fault!
The Yi Jing tome!
Cousin Brother,
what are you doing here?
I'm Mister Duan's wife now.
If you want to kill him,
you'll have to kill me as well.
Don't,
just kill me!
Mister Mu Rong,
go and marry the Xi Xia Princess.
I won't stop you anymore.
Yu Yan is my wife now.
You cannot take her away from me now.
Brother Duan
I will follow you, in life and in death.
Cousin Sister,
you've married him,
so we're family now.
Mister Duan is my cousin-in-law,
I will not do anything to harm him.
Mu Rong Fu,
this is all your father’s fault!
Mister Duan!
Let him go!
Cousin Sister!
Mister Duan!
Sir Scholar!
They're all dead!
Our Prince is just like His Majesty!
He likes women, not power!
He must have gone out with Miss Wang.
But he should have been back long ago! If he doesn't get back soon
We won't be able to complete our duty on time!
His Majesty told us that
the Prince must marry the Xi Xia Princess.
If he doesn't,
then I won't be able to face His Majesty!
Can I say something?
Please.
I think the reason why His Majesty
wants the Prince to marry the princess
is to form a relationship with Xi Xia
so that both countries
can help each other out.
Am I right?
Yes!
Whether the Princess is beautiful or not,
His Majesty
won't mind,
am I right?
She's a princess,
even if she isn't beautiful,
she won't look like a hag, will she?
I have an idea.
If you can't find them now,
it doesn't matter because sooner or later
Brother Duan and Miss Wang
they'll get bored and come back.
After a few months,
he'll surely return to Dali.
And that's when we'll get him
to marry the Princess.
Young Master isn't even here right now,
so how is he supposed to bring the Princess back to Dali?
What's you idea,
tell us quickly!
Sister Mu,
now that she's dressed up like a man is way better-looking than Brother Duan.
Tomorrow, she'll go and join in the contest.
Even though there'll be many men there,
I'm sure she'll be the best looking one!
Will you please stop talking nonsense!
It's a great idea!
But we can't let anyone else know.
If anyone else know
Miss Mu will be in danger.
There'll be many powerful warriors there.
I'm afraid Miss Mu's martial arts...
No,
Miss Mu is Brother Duan's sister.
A sister taking her brother's place to win the Princess ' hand
What's wrong with that?
She'll be doing a great deed for the kingdom,
and also pleasing His Majesty at the same time,
now wouldn't that be great?
I'm still worried about Miss Mu's martial arts...
Why did I have to be born with a brother like this?
She's angry...
Why did she get angry
when I said that?
Miss Mu isn't angry
because of what Master Ba said,
but because of something else.
Brother Duan
you treated me so sincerely,
yet I never got a chance to repay you for it.
I will repay my debt to you in the next life.
Why did you have to be killed by that mad monk?
Miss Wang,
please don't talk like that.
Even though I'm evil,
I didn't kill him.
Did Cousin Brother kill him?
Why would he do that?
I might as well kill myself
so that I don't have to live with this sadness.
Mister Duan,
you're not dead!
I wouldn't die just like that!
Mister Duan
I practiced Shaolin martial arts wrongly
and lost control.
If you hadn't absorbed my inner force,
I would be dead
by now.
I must thank you for your kindness!
Master
you don't have to do that.
I wouldn't dare imagine I'd have the ability to save you.
Even though I'm a monk,
But
I've always had this desire to win.
What happened today...
is the result of all the things I've done these past 30 years.
I am destined to burn in hell when I die.
I've brought this on myself.
But these past 30 years...
the martial arts I've learned these past 30 years,
are gone.
Master
Don't say that.
You've recovered,
haven't you?
The reason why I've lost all my martial arts
is because Buddha wants me to become a virtuous person so that I can be saved.
Only Buddha
can help me become a virtuous person
to save myself.
Where is Mister Mu Rong?
Yes,
where is he?
I've forgotten all about him!
Please forgive all the sins
I've committed.
Master
If you hadn't captured me in China,
I would never have met Miss Wang
I should be the one thanking you.
Your destiny and Miss Wang's are intertwined,
this has nothing to do with me.
When I leave,
I will not see you again
Mister Duan,
I'm sorry to trouble you again
But could you
please help me
return the Yi Jing tome to Shaolin Temple?
Of course I will!
Thank you.
Where are you going?
To where I'm supposed to go.
But your Prince
is trying to win the Xi Xia Princess' hand!
Don't you want to be there?
Mister Duan
Now that I've been enlightened,
I will no longer think about such worldly affairs.
After this, I will roam the world
and live a
happy and peaceful life.
I will also pray for your happiness and well-being.
Please excuse me.
Let's go!
I don't feel like leaving yet.
Alright,
if you want to stay here,
let me accompany you.
So while we're here,
there'll be nobody to bother us.
But
I won't let you stay too long
in such a filthy place.
Let's go!
Maybe my brother and Miss Wang have left.
Let's go home as well.
Whoever becomes the Princess' husband,
will have nothing to do with us anymore.
Mister Ba,
are you married?
Don't you want to marry the Princess?
You can give it a try.
Wouldn't it be nice
to marry the Xi Xia Princess?
Miss Chong,
you do like joking don't you?
Too bad you're so small-sized,
or you could take your brother's place
and win the Xi Xia Princess' hand.
My brother?
I mean, the Prince.
Miss Mu!
Ba Si Kong!
Come
Alright! Miss Mu!
You've decided!
You've decided to go!
My name is Duan Yu.
I'm the prince of Dali
Please be polite when speaking to me.
I'm so embarrassed.
But I like the feeling.
That's nice to hear.
Why don't you go and change first,
and then we'll return to the Xi Xia Palace.
Mister Mu Rong!
Cousin Brother.
Cousin Sister and Cousin-in-Law.
Mister Mu Rong, you're on the way to the Xi Xia Palace?
Are you going as well?
Yes.
But you already have my cousin sister!
Please don't misunderstand
Yu Yan is the only one I want.
I don't need anyone else.
We're going to the palace
because my brother
and friends are there.
Mister Duan and I
hope that you'll be able to win the Xi Xia Princess' hand.
Are you sure you're not going to challenge me
for the Xi Xia Princess' hand?
Yes,
and you can't challenge me for Yu Yan's love either.
You must promise me this.
Fine,
but we must act quickly
and stop your sister
from getting the Princess.
My sister?
She's dressed up as you
to go and court the Princess.
Prince Duan, how do you do?
You knew?
No, I didn't.
But now I do,
after seeing you.
Prince Duan,
sorry for troubling you.
You're fine
You went away with Miss Wang
and forced me to dress up as you!
Sister,
this is very complicated.
I was thrown into a well,
and almost died there.
Are you alright,
you look so pale!
Miss Wang!
Let's take a seat there!
Alright.
The Princess
asks your forgiveness
for such unworthy treatment.
She asks that you sate
your appetites first.
What a pain!
Ask the Princess to come out here.
After you've had your fill,
the Princess will advise you on what to do next.
Alright,
if that's what the Princess wishes,
then we should obey her.
I will eat.
I've eaten.
Please ask your Princess to come out!
Yes!
Hurry up and eat!
Don't give up
Come
Drink up!
That's enough, isn't it?
The Princess invites you to explore and appreciate
the paintings in the next room.
What's so exciting about a bunch of paintings?
Can you see live people in it?
If you can't touch it or smell it,
then it's not real!
This is good.
The Princess has asked us to enter the next room
as a test.
An unrefined person like Prince Zong Zan
knows nothing about art.
The Princess asks
those women who are dressed up as men,
or men aged over 40
to please remain here.
The rest of you, please enter the study.
Nonsense, nonsense!
What guidance would you like to give me?
I'm not here to give you guidance,
but to ask for guidance.
I think you probably want to ask me
what sort of guidance I'm asking for,
but are embarrassed to.
So I'll just tell you.
That's it
Thank you.
We've come from afar,
and the journey has not been easy.
Some have died in the desert,
some killed by wild beasts.
Moreover
And some were slain by this prince.
Now the only ones who aren't dead,
are those you see before you.
And we too would like to see the Princess.
We were born early,
and are now over 40 years old,
so it looks like we've wasted our time coming here.
If I'd known, I would have been born a few years earlier.
Stop joking,
how can we choose
when we're born?
What are you doing?
The Princess has spoken,
so let's just abide by her words
What's the matter with you?
Prince,
I was talking on your behalf
just now.
You're only 41,
and not that old,
but you're still over 40.
You cannot see the princess
I counted your age yesterday night,
and you're definitely 41.
Everyone
Please listen to me.
Everybody remembers when they were born.
If you're over 40, please remain here.
If you're under 40, please enter.
Don't listen to him,
I'm not 40 yet!
I'm not
And I'm not 100 yet!
Nevertheless,
I'm still extraordinarily attractive aren't I?
Extraordinarily attractive!
Hurry up and enter.
When you're inside, you have to help my cousin brother.
Before entering the study,
you'll have to pass through here.
Please.
There must be something here, a chain maybe.
Or else there would be no way to cross.
Fine,
I'll go first.
Be careful!
I was just fooling around,
don't worry.
He's so concerned about his reputation.
This is the Princess' study,
you're welcome to explore and appreciate the paintings.
Alright.
Second Brother, look!
The girl in this picture looks exactly like Yu Yan!
What's this?
It looks exactly like my martial aunt Lee Chiu Shui's martial arts.
Exactly like the Vulture Peak Sect martial arts!
She's the Queen of Xi Xia.
It's not that surprising
seeing such drawings on the wall.
But,
she's dead.
Brother, don't look at those drawings
Why?
This is a powerful martial art.
You'll lose control
if you learn it wrongly.
What powerful martial art,
you must be joking!
These paintings aren't worth looking at!
The Princess says that if
you look at them but your martial arts are weak,
it will endanger your life.
But if you have formidable martial arts,
it will benefit you greatly.
My martial arts are formidable.
Mister Bao,
there are drawings here.
Look
And here as well!
Here also
Here as well
Me too
All of you, look away from the drawings!
We're in a dangerous situation right now!
Please come over here and let's discuss this.
Run away,
you'll lose control if you look at those drawings!
Run
All of you, sit down
and stay still.
Sit down!
Sit down quickly!
Open the door and let them out!
You're hurting me!
I told Mister Bao
not to look at the drawings,
because if one's martial arts aren't powerful enough
it could be very dangerous,
but he didn't listen to me.
I won't look
if you want me to look,
I'll look only
if you don't want me to.
She did advise us not to look,
so that means they are not
trying to harm us.
The Xi Xia Princess invited us here,
but for what purpose?
The Princess has arrived!
The Princess says
that the drawings on the wall
should not be seen by those from other tribes.
That's why those paintings
were put there to hide them.
But there were still people who saw them.
The Princess also asks that
you do not try to light any fires, or use
any form of fuel to light a fire.
This will only endanger you.
If you do not wish to be here,
you can leave and
rest at the pavilions along the way.
There will be guides there to lead you out.
So you won't get lost.
You've come so willingly from afar,
and our Princess is honored by your presence.
The Princess will reward you
with her favourite paintings.
When you leave here.
You can choose
whichever one you want.
Princess,
we can't light any fires here.
Why don't we meet somewhere else.
It's so dark in here,
I can't see you,
and you can't see me either.
The Princess
truly wishes to see you,
but first, she would like to ask you three questions.
Please take turns to do this.
Who would like to answer first?
I'll answer first.
Please don't rush into this,
the first one to answer may be at a disadvantage.
If everybody wants to go first,
then I'll miss my chance.
Everyone here is afraid of losing,
so I'll answer first.
I, Bao Bu Tong,
already have a wife and children,
I only want to look upon the Princess' beauty.
Just that
Mister Bao is very straightforward.
I...
have three questions to ask you.
First question
In what place do you feel
the happiest?
There's this ceramic shop that
I used to work in
when I was young.
I was often oppressed
and scolded without reason.
One day
I lost my temper
I took all those ceramics,
the plates,
the bowls,
the vases,
and broke them all,
at once
This is the happiest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
Princess
How's my answer?
The Princess will decide that.
Second question
Who's the woman you love most?
