Don't give up this chance, look closely at the sword stances in action.
There's nothing wrong with learning by yourself.
The inner energy is coming towards us!
Concentrate on the Swords.
The Abbot's martial arts are powerful indeed,
you have my admiration.
But the 6 Divine Swords martial art,
doesn't live up to its strong reputation.
Please tell us, how can something that isn't great have a strong reputation?
Back then, Mister Murong thought highly of,
the true form of the 6 Divine Nerve Swords martial art,
not a sword formation that resembles it.
The Tian Long Temple sword style are exceptional
but not in the same class
as the ' Lo Hong ' style of Shaolin,
nor the ' Hun Chun ' style of the Kun Lun Sect.
It is therefore definitely not an unbeatable sword style.
Whether it's a sword form, or a sword formation,
what matters is, did you win the battle just now,
or did the Tian Long Temple win?
The Tian Long Temple won that first bout,
but I will take the next one.
Prepare for my attack!
Amitabha!
You have destroyed the 6 Divine Nerve Swords tome!
Abbot Ku Rong, why did you have to be o hasty?
This is pitiful indeed.
Fortunately, no one has mastered the 6 Divine Nerve Swords martial art
So it makes no difference whether it's destroyed or not.
Good bye.
The Tu Bo Kingdom has long admired the Emperor,
and would like to meet your acquaintance. Please follow me back to Tu Bo.
He used to be an Emperor, but now he is a monk.
His name is Ben Cheng.
Ben Cheng
If the Emperor of Tu Bo wants to meet you, then by all means go,
Yes.
Let my uncle go this instant
Who are you?
You don't need to know who I am, just let my uncle go!
Let him go!
Uncle
I thought the younger generation of the Duan family were scholarly,
but I didn't know they were friends
with the Sing Shu Sect and
learned their martial arts as well.
How strange, how strange.
I thought the priests of Tu Bo were knowledgeable!
The Sing Shu Sect only knows how to attack ts enemies i underhanded or disgraceful ways,
so why would the younger generation of the Duan family have anything to do with them?
Sir Priest, you are a guest of the Tian Long Temple,
and we have treated you graciously. Yet you are disrespectful enough to incur the wrath of my uncle.
It's because we respect you as a fellow religious scholar, that we have been lenient with you,
but you have truly crossed the line now.
Have you ever seen a priest that has such total disrespect for the rules?
Smart, very smart.
Good bye!
The 6 Divine Nerve Swords!
Watch out!
Uncle! Uncle!
Yu Er!
Let the young endure hardship
so that they may grow.
Amitabha
The priest is back!
Mount your horse, split into two groups, and ride!
Hurry up
Yes sir!
Boy, don't waste your energy.
I was just trying to make myself more comfortable. What are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid.
If I bring you as tribute to Mu Rong Bo,
would you be afraid?
I did not intend to take an innocent life
but I had to do it for your sake!
Sir Priest, I need to relieve myself.
Take care of yourself, boy!
I only released one of your nerves,
you can't use any of your martial arts!
Master Duan, sorry for troubling you,
and bringing you all this way
Well said
Do you know why I had to do this?
Can't do it.
What can't you do?
You covet the 6 Divine Nerve Swords
and want to force me to write out the instructions.
So I said I can't do it.
You've misunderstood me. I have no quarrel with you,
so I thought up a good solution.
You write out the contents of the tome clearly,
I will not look at it,
but will burn it at Mister Mu Rong's grave
to fulfill his wish.
Then I will send you back to Dali.
Sir Priest, we're both smart people,
so who are you trying to fool?
Amitabha
I must keep my promise to
Mister Mu Rong Bo.
I can't keep this promise, and break the other one.
Whether your promise is true or not, nobody knows.
After you get the 6 Divine Nerve Swords martial art tome,
you'll read it for sure.
With your intelligence, don't tell me you won't be able to
memorise it after reading it just a few time?
This is not what I wish,
but I have to do it!
If you can't stand the pain, and are willing to write the instructions,
all you need to do is nod, and I will let you go.
I will not write anything!
If I do write, will you not kill me?
If I write this, it would be as good as killing myself.
I know this for sure.
A pity, a pity...
Do you think this is a good place?
The view here is not bad at all!
You'll be staying here for a while, so please cooperate.
But I like Dali better!
Are the two of you looking to cross the river?
Amitabha!
I would like to visit the Can Shi Residence.
How does Sir Priest know the name of this place,
when no outsiders are supposed to know?
I am an old friend of Mu Rong Bo's,
and would like to make a sacrifice at his grave.
Also, I would like to meet with Mu Rong Fu.
Oh, what a coincidence! My Master has just left.
It is unfortunate indeed that
I cannot meet your master.
I have come from afar
in the hope of praying at Mu Rong Bo's grave
to fulfill my promises to him.
Sir Priest is a friend of Mu Rong Bo,
so I would like to humbly invite you for tea at my home.
I will also relay this message for you.
What is your relation to the Mu Rong family?
How may I address you?
I am Mu Rong Fu's servant who plays the clarinet and zither. Just call me (Ah Pik Turquoise)
No need to be polite, Just call me Turquoise.
That will make me feel bad.
If you want to go there, you'll have to take a boa.
If sirs would like to go, please allow me to take you.
Then we must trouble you, Turquoise.
The emerald river
A beautiful sight
Imagine a white skirt
and floating leaves.
A beautiful sight.

This place is called Qin Yun. After this is Ting Xiang Shui Shu
Will sirs please disembark from the boat?
Thank you, miss!
Sir Priest, please!
Sir, please!
Thank you, miss!
This food, so beautiful, the taste must be absolutely magical
How then can I find the heart to eat it?
Sir should eat as much as sir wants, there's lots more!
Miss, please can you find someone of authority that I can talk to.
Sister Scarlet is the chief of the servants,
she's at Ting Xiang Shui Shu which is far away from here.
We will not be in time to see her today, so sirs must please say here tonight.
Tomorrow I will bring sirs there.
Miss, my reason for coming here today,
is to make a sacrifice to Mister Mu Rong Bo
and calm his restless spirit. I cannot wait!
You can always pray for him here.
Anyway, this whole place is owned by the Mu Rong family.
Good idea, Miss Turquoise
Is there any oil here? I would like to borrow some.
Sure there is, but what does Sir Priest want to do with it?
Sir Priest
what are you doing?
Sir Priest, what are you trying to do?
Sir Priest, please don't pour the oil on him,
Sir Priest,
don't!
Sir Priest
what are you doing?
What are you going to do to Master Duan?
Miss Turquoise, it's none of your concern, please get out of the way.
No, no I won't!
Move aside now.
No, I won't!
What do you think you're doing?
I told you,
I'm going to burn you as a sacrifice to Mister Mu Ron Bo.
Sir Priest, my master is on the way back.
If you kill someone here, my master will take it out on us!
Miss, I'm not killing anyone, I'm just making a sacrifice.
A sacrifice to your master, Mu Rong Bo!
My master will arrive here very soon,
so it would be better if you could wait a little longer.
Anyway, you can make a sacrifice anytime you want!
Sir Priest.
Sir Priest, please let Master Duan Yu go.
Let him go...
Miss Turquoise,
I wonder if you have any clothes that might fit me?
Look at me! I 'm all dirty, it's bad for my reputation!
Even at this time
you're still thinking about your reputation?
Isn't it better if you think of a way to escape?
Please!
Turquoise, why are all these people here?
Amitabha!
I am Jiu Mo Zhee, an old friend of Mu Rong Bo
May I ask who you are?
Are you a relative of Mu Rong Bo, or a friend?
I am merely a servant to his family
I have no status.
You are an old friend of Master Mu Rong Bo, you say?
Mu Rong Bo has been dead for some time,
why are you looking for him?
When I meet Mu Rong Fu,
I will tell him the reason for my coming.
What a coincidence,
my Young Master has just left
And I have no idea when he will be back.
Then, can you tell me where Mu Rong Fu has gone?
Yes, where has the Young Master gone to?
Xi Xia?
No.
Liao? No.
Tu Bo? I don't think so.
Dali? I don't think so either.
Sir,
can I trouble you to bring me to Mister Mu Rong Bo's grave
so that I may pay my final respects.
I cannot make this decision.
Tell you what, I'll ask Madam to make a decision for you.
Madam?
Madam Mu Rong is my master's aunt-in-law.
Friends who come looking for my master, must first pay their respects to Madam.
Because Master Mu Rong isn't around at the moment,
Madam is the highest authority here.
If that's the case, please can you inform adam
that Jiu Mo Zhee of Tu Bo
would like to pay his respects.
Nowadays,
there are so many unsavoury characters running around
pretending to be priests
to deceive people.
There's nothing I have not seen before,
I will not be deceived,
I will not be deceived.
Strange, what a strong fragrance.
Sir Priest, don't get mad.
Uncle Wong is old, don't mind him.
Strange, why does this old man
smell so fragrant... He smells just like
Younger Sis Wan... Is he,
n fact, a she?
Not bad, now she's disguised as an old woman.
Turquoise, my eyesight is not what it used to be,
has one of Master's friends come?
Why aren't they kowtowing to me?
Kowtow now, quickly! If you kowtow, Madam will be rightly pleased
and will promise you anything.
Hey kid, what did you just say? Have they kowtowed to me or not?
Hurry up and kowtow!
Madam,
accept my humble kowtow.
Good, good!
There are a lot of bad people in the world today,
and very few honest ones.
Why, some even have to resort to trickery
when asked to kowtow.
They never really kowtow, but imitate the rustling that comes with a kowtow,
all just to deceive me because of my poor eyesight.
I've heard that you want to visit the grave of my nephew,
are you thinking of stealing something from him?
I once promised Mister Mu Rong Bo
that I would get the 6 Divine Nerve Swords tome from Dali,
and present it to him as a gift.
If I don't keep my promises, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
The 6 Divine Nerve Swords tome?
All the trouble just for this?
From what I see, it's not as simple as that, is it?
Madam,
Mu Rong Bo promised me that
if I should get that tome and
present it to him as a gift,
then he would let me into to his,
Secret Family Library for several days to study his books.
Where the 6 Divine Nerve Swords tome is concerned, I have already brought i here.
I hope that he will also keep his part of the bargain
and allow me into his library to read study his books.
Mu Rong Bo is dead. Regarding your bargain
One, nobody knows about it,
and two, nobody knows how to read
the tome that Sir Priest has brought.
What tome? Where is it?
Let me see it first, that I may know if it is genuine or not.
Mister Duan here
has memorised the tome.
Bringing him here is the same as bringing the tome here.
I thought there really was some amazing tome,
but it turns out that Sir Priest is merely joking!
I am not joking!
The 6 Divine Nerve Swords tome
was destroyed by Abbot Ku Rong of the Tian Long Temple.
Fortunately,
Mister Duan was able to memorise its contents.
If Master Duan memorised it, then this has to do with Master Duan.
If anyone was to go to the Secret Family Library to study the books,
It should be Master Duan.
So this has nothing to do with you.
So I will fulfill my promise to Mu Rong Bo,
and burn Mister Duan as a sacrifice to Mu Rong Bo.
Go
Sir Priest
How can you burn a living person?
If I say I will burn him, I will burn him, why can't a burn a living person?
You said that Young Master Duan has memorised the 6 Divine Nerve Sword tome
but that's utter nonsense.
If his martial arts were that great,
and Master Duan really knew this sword style,
then why didn't he escape earlier?
What you're saying is true,
but I have paralysed his nerves,
so that he can't use his inner-force.
If that's the case, then I believe you even less.
Please release Master Duan's nerves
and let him demonstrate his martial arts!
You look like you're lying to me!
Fine, if you want to see it, then watch till your heart's content!
Mister Duan,
Madam doesn't believe you know the 6 Divine Nerve Swords martial art.
Please show your martial art
Do exactly as I do, destroy the tree trunk
I don't know any martial arts
much less a powerful one.
That tree was innocent, why did you have to destroy it?
Why is Master Duan being so humble?
You're the most powerful person in Dali.
The Mu Rong family also has formidable martial arts.
Why don't you demonstrate your skills, and let Madam comment on it,
now isn't that a good idea?
Sir Priest, because you brought me here,
I actually don't really want to talk to you.
But after meeting this beautiful young miss, it has quelled my anger somewhat.
Now, I'd like to break off our relationship, don't mind me anymore.
Master Duan does not want to demonstrate his martial arts,
doesn't that mean that you want them to misunderstand me and think I am lying to them?
You're the one who likes to lie.
If you really made a promise to Mu Rong Bo,
why didn't you go and take the tome earlier?
Instead, you waited until his death to do it.
Now that there are no witnesses, you can come and kick up a fuss.
It seems to me that
you're just jealous of the Mu Rong family's martial arts and planned this entire hoax
to deceive this Madam, so that you can go and read the books in the Secret Family Library,
secretly study the Mu Rong family's martial arts
and learn them for yourself.
If with only your words, you could deceive the Mu Rong family
what would happen to the Mu Rong family's reputation?
Sir Priest,
if you don't want to be a priest in Tu Bo,
why would you want to lie to the people in Jiang Nan?
I don't speak as well as you,
but if you still aren't willing to demonstrate your martial arts,
then don't blame me for being impolite.
You've been impolite from the beginning, what else can you do that's too much?
You can kill me,
I won't fight back.
There's nothing great about you killing me.
You dare to call yourself a priest,
it doesn't suit you at all!
Stop talking nonsense! And fight me now!
Are you willing to die, just so you don't have to show them your martial arts?
You're really stubborn!
I don't know any martial arts, so what martial arts am I supposed to show?
Fine, I will kill this young lady first,
let's see whether you'll show your martial arts or not!
Can 16 or 17 year old be called an old woman?
Did you think you could deceive me forever?
Sister Scarlet!
The 6 Divine Nerve Swords are powerful indeed,
no wonder Master Mu Rong sang its praises!
Sister Turquoise, Sister Scarlet,
leave this place now, we're out of time!
Go
Turquoise, Scarlet, leave quickly!
You can't even take care of your own safety,
how do you think you can take care of theirs?
You can stop pretending now,
who's in charge here?
I will bring him to Mu Rong Bo's grave and bun him,
Mu Rong Bo will understand that
I didn't break my promise.
Fine,
we'll believe Sir Priest's words.
Journey to my Master's grave will take a full day.
It's getting late,
so I'll bring Sir Priest
and Master Duan to his grave tomorrow morning.
Sir!
What's happened?
Deputy Ma has been murdered.
What? Who did it?
We don't know yet.
All of you,
I need you to go out and gather information on this.
We have to catch the murderer!
Yes!
We must avenge Deputy Ma.
Now go!
Da Yuan, why did you have to die?
Da Yuan
Don't leave me!
Da Yuan
Sister, don't be so mournful.
Leader Qiao, you must avenge Da Yuan!
Sister
don't worry.
Based on my relationship with Da Yuan
I will not rest until Brother Da Yuan is avenged.
Only in a place like these, would there be people like this.
Only with people like these would there be such delicious cuisine.
Can you guess
whether this dish was prepared by myself, or by Turquoise?
Have a try
This meat is fragrant and red in colour,
so Sister Scarlet must have made it.
Where this soup has an emerald shade,
which means Sister Turquoise cooked it.
You really know how to make people happy.
This is delicious!
The only missing now, is some music.
I will play for you, that is, if you don't mind.
Mister Duan,
come and take a look, see if you recognise this musical instrument!
Sure.
Sir Priest, please
I've never
seen this instrument before
Take your time, Sir Priest!
The emerald river
A beautiful sight
Imagine a white skirt
and floating leaves.
A beautiful sight.
Framed by flowers.
My heart is beating
Your sadness and happiness
I do care
The beautiful time
flows as water
Your face stays in my dream
Wishing nobody disturbing
Sister Scarlet, I need to go to the bathroom.
You're just hopeless.
I think Mister Duan's asleep, why don't you just relieve yourself on the boat?
No, I can't!
These two girls are so much fun,
I think I'll listen and see what they're up to.
Then let's just dock at one of the ports.
But it'll be embarrassing saying I need to use the bathroom!
I have no other solutions.
Have you finished resting?
It's so comfortable, but...
What is it?
I had a lot to drink just now,
so can we stop at a port?
I need to use the bathroom.
What? Did I say something wrong?
Not at all, don't misunderstand us.
It's quite normal, really, so we'll stop at the nearest port.
If it's no trouble.
The nearest place would be Mandra Hill.
That's the only place we can go.
Mister Duan, this is Mandra Hill.
This is the residence on the Wang family, they're our relatives.
But the mistress here
is a bit eccentric, she doesn't like meeting men.
Once you've relieved yourself, please get back to the boat
and don't cause any trouble.
Sister Scarlet!
Let's go over there!
Scarlet, where's my cousin brother?
Is he well?
The Master is at home now, he'll be going to Luo Yang soon
to meet the heroes of the Beggar Clan,
and try out the Dog-Striking Staff Stance that he's just mastered
so don't you worry.
The Beggar Clan's Dog-Striking Staff Stride and 18 Dragon-Slaying Claws martial art
are extremely powerful
It's not easy to be mastered by himself
Young Master says that the Dog-Striking Staff Stride was created by a man,
so why shouldn't he be able to figure it out himself?
As long as there are stances and forms,
they shouldn't be too hard to master.
Creating it probably took 8 to 10 years,
so don't you think it's impossible to master in just a few months?
Have you seen him practicing it?
When he was practicing it,
everything was fast and fluid...
What?
He practiced it fast?
Yes, is there something wrong?
Something must be wrong. Although I don't really know this type of martial arts
but according to the style, some of the stances must be performed slowly.
Some have to suddenly fast, some suddenly slow
other first slow then suddenly fast, or fast then suddenly slow.
If he wants to do it too quickly,
and he ends up challenging the more skilled members of the Beggar Clan...
He might...
don't let my cousin brother meet the Beggar Clan...
Don't worry so much,
this time he's gone because
the Beggar Clan has blamed him
for murdering Deputy Ma
and the Young Master is going there to clear his name.
He probably won't need to fight them.
Whatever it is
please ask him to visit me before he goes.
Please ask him to visit me before he goes.
Whenever I heard somebody talked about ' Gu Su Mu Rong ' at Dali
Everybody respect her
From the way this young miss is talking,
it would seem that Mu Rong Fu needs to seek advice from her.
Would such a young lady really be so capable?
Who's he?
Why is there a man here?
Mister Duan!
Sister, have I caused you any trouble?
Don't worry.
Let's leave here as quickly as we can.
We have to avoid meeting Madam Wang.
Oh no!
What's wrong?
We can't leave here!
Aiyah, now what?
Madam
Scarlet, Turquoise,
what are you doing here?
Mu Rong Fu is really a bad role model,
even his servants seem to have something to hide.
Mistress
We were being chased by an enemy, that's why we passed Mandra Hill.
Our Young Master isn't aware of this,
so this has nothing to do with him.
