Friend,
I have
a sworn older brother
called Qiao Feng.
He is a hero.
A real man.
He is skilled in martial arts and is a great drinker.
Nobody can compete him
You'll be in awe of him when you meet him.
Too bad
he isn't here right now.
If not,
the three of us could become blood brothers.
That would be most enjoyable.
Mister Duan,
If you don't mind,
why don't we become blood brothers?
Afterwards
We'll kowtow again
when we meet Brother Qiao.
How old are you?
I'm 24 years old.
That means you are three years older than me.
Accept my humble kowtow.
I want to kowtow too!
Good morning, Sis!
Good morning, Master!
Master! Please gargle
Alright...
This... is delicious!
Master.
Let me help you change your clothes
That's alright,
thank you.
I can
do that myself.
Where is my younger brother?
That is, Mister Duan.
Where has he gone to?
Mister Duan has descended the mountain.
He asked me to tell you
to meet up with him in China
once you settle your matters here.
What's this?
Where are my clothes?
You were very drunk yesterday night.
We helped you change out of them.
I forgot!
The scripture forbids us to drink wine.
I better not drink anymore in the future.
I must have forgotten to bathe as well.
Yesterday you were drunk and unconscious,
so we bathed you.
What?
Yes,
we bathed you!
That's bad!
That's really bad!
I'm a man
but you saw my naked body!
This... Amitabha... is sinful! Master, what's wrong?
Get out!
I will wear these clothes myself,
don't bother about me.
I can wear them myself.
You don't have to bother about me.
Out,
please get out quickly!
I will wear them myself...
Sis,
what's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Did I say something wrong
that make you angry?
You want us to get out.
You refuse to let us serve you.
You must really hate us.
No!
What should I say
I don't really know how to say
I also don't really know
what to say
I...
I'm a man,
you're women.
Men and women...
That's not what I meant.
I mean...
Fine, I'm not blaming you on this.
Please stand up.
I'm not blaming you at all.
Please come back over here.
Then we'll help you change and wash up!
Alright...
Master!
What do you think, Master?
Not bad!
Master, in the secret room,
there is a picture of our founder.
I once heard Granny say
that the picture is some how connected to the Life-Death Amulets.
We'll take you there.
Please enter.
This is the room we told you about.
We can't enter.
Why?
Is it dangerous inside?
No, it's not dangerous.
We are forbidden to enter,
that's why we can't enter.
It's alright, let's enter together.
This place is quite narrow, it's uncomfortable just standing here.
Let's go Master
Before Granny died,
she told us
that if we practiced our martial arts properly
and didn't cause any trouble,
she would let us enter
for a day every year
when we turned 40.
But
that's in 20 years' time!
Do you want to wait 20 years?
You'll be old then,
would you still want to practice your martial arts?
Come on in!
Thank you, Master!
This is the ' Tian San Zhe Mei ' martial art!
Master,
why don't we study the first picture first?
Sis,
What's wrong? Are you alright?
Master, our inner-force is weak.
We can't study these pictures
for too long.
We'll wait outside.
Sis! Sis!
Thank you for saving us.
Saving you?
Why would I need to save you?
Master,
the martial arts in those pictures are too deep.
Only those who have strong inner-force can practice them.
We tried to practice them,
but our inner-force
is not strong enough.
So we lost ourselves for a moment.
If you hadn't saved us,
we would probably
have been paralysed for life!
So that's it.
But I feel energetic
after practicing those martial arts.
You have nothing to fear
because you have strong inner-force!
That day, when the Heads of the 36 Caves and 72 Islands
forced us to tell them where the treasure was,
we wanted to lead them into this tunnel at first.
But
we were afraid they would see these pictures,
and make things even worse.
If we'd known about this earlier
we would have led them here.
The two of you,
go and rest outside for now.
Yes!
Look!
Let's go over there and take a look.
Master,
why are you unhappy?
Tell us what's wrong.
We might be able to help!
Sis,
it's been over three months
since I first came here.
I'm not used to living here.
Master,
is it because...
we haven't served you well?
No, no,
don't misunderstand me!
Sis...
how do I say this...
I'm a monk.
I grew up in Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple is my home.
I'd like to go back there.
Leader Zhong,
is something wrong?
Brother Chuan.
To be honest
You helped me become the leader.
But...
I don't really want to be the leader!
Nonsense!
Leader,
do you trust me?
I will listen to everything you say.
Fine,
then tell me what's troubling you.
Brother Chuan,
there are two things.
One, is to kill my enemy, Qiao Feng.
The other thing...
You said you trusted me,
so why aren't you talking?
Miss Purple,
she...
I only want to be with her!
Hero Zhong,
even though I've just met you
I know
I know you are an ambitious person.
You don't intend just to become
the leader of the Beggar Clan.
Tell me honestly;
you want to become the leader of the martial world as well, right?
Leader of the martial world?
I'm not capable enough.
And I wouldn't know how to do it either.
This is a list of
some of the Beggar Clan followers.
Eliminate them.
Only then will you be able to control the Beggar Clan.
Then challenge Shaolin with the might of
the Beggar Clan.
As long as you can destroy Shaolin,
you will become
the leader of the martial world.
When that happens,
you won't just be able to kill Qiao Feng,
but Miss Purple will love you as well.
You might even
have the chance to become Emperor.
Master, what are you doing?
Sis,
I've thought it through
in these few days.
I'm an orphan
who has lived in Shaolin Temple all my life.
My martial master and the Abbot raised me.
If I leave Shaolin,
it would be like turning my back on them.
I have to return to Shaolin
to receive my punishment from them.
To receive my punishment from them.
Master, you can't leave just like that!
You must lead the Vulture Peak Sect.
That's right, Master!
We're your servants.
Don't you want us anymore?
If you don't want us anymore,
then our lives are meaningless!
Then our lives are meaningless!
That's not what I meant!
I have broken too many rules.
I must return to Shaolin.
If I don't...
Master!
What are you doing?
Master, please stay!
If you leave us,
we will not get up!
Master,
you can't leave the Vulture Peak Sect!
If you leave,
the Vulture Peak Sect will be the laughing stock of the martial world!
Master, please don't leave us!
Yes,
we need you!
You can't leave us now!
Please stop doing that! Please!
If you go on doing that,
I will kneel as well.
I will kneel before you!
Master, please stand up!
Now, isn't this better?
I've thought about it and
I think that you and Yu
are more familiar with the running of the sect than I am.
I have no reason to be here.
If anything comes up,
you talk it out among yourselves.
Then we'll follow you to Shaolin Temple
so that we can serve you.
You can't do that!
I want to become a monk again!
Monks don't have servants!
Anyway, women are not allowed to enter Shaolin Temple.
So don't go getting ideas.
Right, so this is my decision.
I want to shave my head.
Let me help you!
Young Master,
come and take a look!
Friend,
who killed them?
Who are you?
We are from martial world as well
We were just passing by
and saw some people lying dead here,
so we came to take a closer look.
Please tell
Senior Wu of the Beggar Clan
that we were killed
by another member of the Beggar Clan,
Zhong Zu Sian.
Ask him to be careful!
My name is Yu Da You
Don't worry,
I'll tell him for sure.
Also, I have
a message fro Xi Xia.
A message fro Xi Xia.
Please bring it to him,
tell him...
Sorry for causing so much trouble.
Master,
if you find that you're not used to
living in Shaolin Temple,
please return here as soon as you can.
We will obey
your commands
for as long as we live.
Where are Mei Jian and Zhu Jian?
I think
the two of them
are crying in their rooms.
Amitabha!
Waiter!
Yes! Sir Monk!
Here's your payment.
Thank you, have a nice day.
Master!
Xu Zhu,
you've always been very honest,
why did you lose control?
Master,
I know I've sinned,
but...
You've broken too many rules,
I can't help you this time.
You should seek your penance at the Centre of Punishment.
Yes.
I, Xu Zhu,
ask that the Seniors punish me as they see fit.
They're busy,
kneel here and wait.
Yes.
Young Master!
Young Master,
what does it say?
You've not spoken
since we started this journey.
Is anything wrong?
Xu Zhu,
the Seniors will be busy
for the next few days.
You've been kneeling here for so long,
I think that's punishment enough.
Why don't you go and work in the garden.
When the Seniors are free
you'll receive your
just punishment from them.
Yes,
thank you.
Young Master,
what's really written on it?
The Princess of Xi Xia is looking for suitors
It's written here that
regardless of whether they're from Sung, Liao, Dali or Xi Xia
as long as they're bachelors of marriageable age
they can go to Xi Xia
during the eight month to participate in the selection.
You mean...
To my knowledge,
the Emperor of Xi Xia is old and
does not have an heir.
If I become the Princess' husband
after the Emperor dies,
I will ascend to the throne.
When that happens,
I will have the power
to overthrow
the Sung Kingdom.
Then I'll destroy Dali, Liao and Tu Bo.
And finally I will have a kingdom of my own.
That's right.
So let's not pass this message to the Beggar Clan.
No,
this message will be placed all around the country.
Why don't we give it to them
and win their favour.
And win their favour.
Young Master,
if we go to Xi Xia,
then...
what about Miss Wang?
We'll persuade her to go home.
Don't worry,
I'll handle it.
I, Xu Zhu,
have broken the rules
I've been asked to work in the vegetable garden
as my penance.
What did you do?
Too many things,
it's hard to say.
What's hard to say?
Just tell me.
It's not just you,
If those from the Dharma Hall
and Lo Hong Centres were sent here
to be punished in this garden,
they'd have to listen to my orders as well.
Your face is reddish,
you've taken meat,
haven't you?
Yes.
And drank wine as well?
Yes.
You're a brave one.
After drinking wine,
you must have felt a little light-headed
and forgot about the rule
forbidding you to be with a woman, yes?
Did you think of women then?
I think you've thought of them
too many times, right?
I wouldn't dare lie to you
elder martial brother
I haven't just thought about women,
but I've been with them too.
How dare you!
You've smeared the reputation of Shaolin!
Tell me
What other sins
have you committed?
I've killed people
and...
not just one either.
You are a daring one.
Shaolin is
the most powerful martial school.
When you travel abroad
you will definitely injure people by accident.
You will definitely injure people by accident.
What martial arts did you use?
I'm sorry
All the Shaolin martial arts I learned
were destroyed.
I no longer know any Shaolin martial arts.
Younger Martial Brother,
according to the rules
whoever has broken the rules
and killed another
must wear these iron cuffs.
Are you willing to wear them?
If not,
I will have to appeal to the Centre of Punishment.
No,
these are the rules, I must follow them.
Good!
Young martial brother, I pity you.
Be patient!
Evil monk,
how dare you!
You're still young,
but how dare you
break so many rules!
I must teach you a lesson today.
Now,
you go and cut some firewood.
If you don't cut them all,
you won't be getting any sleep tonight.
Yes!
Cousin Sister
Cousin Sister,
are you still mad at me?
Cousin Sister, I know my actions were uncalled
for the other day.
I ask your forgiveness.
Cousin Sister, don't be mad at me.
I felt unhappy seeing you
with that Duan Yu.
Furthermore, I was in a bad mood that day.
So I said something that I shouldn't have.
Cousin Sister,
please don't hold it against me.
Cousin Brother,
so that day,
because of me,
you...
Cousin Sister,
in my heart,
you will remain pure and adorable forever!
You will remain pure and adorable forever!
I won't let anyone else
take you away from me.
Cousin Sister,
you've been away too long.
I think my Aunt misses you.
Why don't
I send you home tomorrow?
Don't,
Cousin Brother, I want to be with you!
Nonsense,
you've seen in these few days
the martial world is a cruel place,
if something happened to you,
how would I explain to your mother?
Cousin Brother,
you know this
yet why don't you want to go back
and live a peaceful life?
Why must you
wander the martial world?
Do you know?
All I wish is for is to live my life
peacefully with you
by my side forever.
Rowing when we are free
Live our life as this
forever
Cousin Sister,
you're not me.
You don't know what it's like to have a heavy burden.
From the day the Yen Kingdom was overthrown
everyone in the Mu Rong family
has had to spend their lives
rebuilding it.
This is our fate.
But it isn't easy,
not since the rise of the Sung Kingdom.
Even though they've been defeated in battle many times,
their government is still very strong.
Their government is still very strong.
To overthrow them
is not an easy task at all.
Our lives are short.
Why do you insist on taking on this burden
and letting go of the beautiful life that you already have?
It's not as if the the Sung are invincible
and it's not as if I don't have the ability.
All of this is a matter of fate.
Let's not talk anymore,
Cousin Sister,
Tomorrow, I will send you home.
You're not safe here with me.
Cousin Sister,
don't be upset.
Don't worry,
when I become the ruler of Yen,
you will be my Queen!
I swear to you!
I don't want to be Queen.
Cousin Brother,
I only want to be with you.
I'll be satisfied with this.
What a pity...
Fine.
I'll listen to you.
I'll go home tomorrow.
Evil monk, are you going to sleep all day?
Get up!
Go and water the vegetables!
Let me tell you
You must carry 100 rounds of water every day.
I'll break your legs if you don't!
Yes!
Here!
Hurry up!
How dare he beat our Master!
Hurry up and cut it!
Let me tell you
I'm beating you because this is your penance!
Thank you, Elder Martial Brother!
Cut it now!
Yes!
Cousin Brother, when I return home,
you must take good care of yourself.
Cousin Sister, don't you worry.
I'll take care of myself.
Brother Bao,
Brother Fung, good morning.
Good morning.
Who is Brother Bao mad at?
He didn't sleep well last night,
so he's in a bad mood.
Miss Wang!
Miss Wang, we meet again!
Mister Duan!
What a coincidence!
What are you doing here?
Yes,
Mister Duan, this is quite a coincidence.
We meet again.
Yes,
a coincidence.
Where are you off to?
Sending my Cousin Sister back home.
Fine,
we're going the same way,
let's walk together.
Mister Duan,
you're going to Dali.
We're going to Jiang Nan.
Are you sure we're the same way?
I'm not going to Dali,
l"m going to Jiang Nan.
The last time I was there, I was in a rush.
This time,
I'd like to enjoy the marvellous scenery there.
You better make sure
you don't run into that monk again.
Last time he burned you,
this time,
he might want to eat you instead!
Even Scarlet and Turquoise won't be able
to save you this time.
Let it be.
If Master Duan wants to walk with us,
so be it.
Leader Qiao...
Let him go.
Is everything fine with the Beggar Clan?
A few days ago,
a new leader was chosen.
But...
Who is this hero?
A young man called Zhong Zu Sian
He wears an iron mask
and has a very strange look.
Zhong Zu Sian?
Wears an iron mask?
How come I don't know him?
He's an outsider that Chuan Guan Ching found.
He came with a girl
who's even more cruel than he is.
In just a few days,
everyone is the group has been made a mockery of by her.
Everyone is getting very angry.
If they weren't afraid of
Zhong Zu Sian's powerful martial arts,
the girl would have been killed long ago.
Girl?
What's her name?
Zhong Zu Sian calls her
Miss Purple!
Purple? So she's at the Beggar Clan.
Where is she now?
Zhong Zu Sian has sent a message
asking all the warriors in the martial world
to meet at the Shaolin Temple.
He says he wants to become
the leader of the martial world.
Thank you.
Let's go back to the city.
The maiden's feet
are small
A bird embroidered in her shoe,
when you catch her
she flies.
Who's there?
Evil monk!
Take this!
Now we'd like to ask for your help.
If you don't promise us,
or don't do what we ask,
we will gouge out your eyes
and use them as fertiliser for your vegetable garden.
Do you believe us?
Yes, I believe you!
