♫ Heroes of Huaxia(Hua Xia Ying Xiong) ♫ DENG CHAO
When all started in the heaven Dang yi qie kai shi zai tian
When all were no longer silent Dang wan wu bu zai shi shen mo
Who gave me a dream containing a slice of blue sky Shei gei wo yi ge meng, meng zhong you yi pian tian kong
Telling me the color of life? Gao su wo sheng ming de yan se
From hence on, I bid farewell to all loneliness Cong ci gao bie suo you ji mo
Only waiting for sunrise and sunset everyday Deng dai mei tian ri sheng ri luo
When fresh blood covers the sky Dang xian xue yan gai le tian
When the country is seeking real heroes Dang hua xia xun zhao zhen de ying xiong
Who will give a sword pointing the way out Shei gei wo yi bai jian, jian zhi xiang yi tiao chu lu
Telling me to march forward with a smile? Gao su wo yao xiao zhe zou guo
Committed to saber and sword for life Dao jian xiang yue yi sheng
The butterflies can never fly across the blue dome of sky Hu die fei bu guo cang qiong
As the meteor passes by, life changes in a flash Deng dai liu xing hua guo, cang hai sang tian
On the banks of the icy lake of tears Bing lei hu de an bian
Helplessly, the saber and sword flashes by Wu nai dao jian hua guo
My beloved left me with a thousand years of longing Yi ren liu xia qian nian de si nian
Far away at the ends of the earth, someone is singing Zong ran yuan gu tian bian, shei zai ge chang
A tune that mourns the lingering loss of a lifetime Ji nian yi luo yi shi de chan mian
With eyes longing Ning wang de yan shen
For love Ai lian

Go back.
Are you still up, Mr. Woo?
Do you feel any better?
I feel much better.
Aren't you bored staying here all days?
Why don't you go out for a trip?
I'm too sick to walk now.
You can use a carriage. That won't be much trouble.
And if you don't mind,
I can go with you.
No, thanks.
The world is vast, but everywhere is the same.
How do you feel these days?
The algidity in my chest is pushing me harder and harder.
Look, I'll die soon.
Why don't you go traveling around with me?
You go alone. Here's my advice for you.
If you are to leave here,
Ieave soon after midnight.
Why should I listen to you?
Just do as I said!
That's all for my advice. Bug off!
Alright.
I was just trying to help you escape from a disaster,
but you turned me down so rudely
and even jerked me around.
You thought I'd bite your bait?
Why should I leave at night?
I'm not that anxious about a journey.
Wait!
Why did he ask me to leave tonight?
Did he want to get rid of me?
No way!
He has taken me as his patient.
He won't let me go before he cures me.
Otherwise,
his fame will be destroyed.
But what was that about?
Why did he ask me to leave?
Why?
Oh, I got it.
He must have foreboded the near disaster,
so he hinted me to run away.
Who's that?
I got it!
Mr. Woo.
What're you doing here, Mr. Woo?
You're not Mr. Woo. Who're you?
Who on earth are you? Why did you try to kill me?
Mr. Woo.
Mr. Woo... Go away.
Mr. Woo...
Where're you, Mr. Woo?
Mr. Woo...
Are you OK, Mr. Woo?
I'm fine. Where's that white-haired woman?
Aunt Kei has tamed her.
Ignore me now. Bring her to me right away.
Or it'll be too late.
Move! Bring her to me.
Wait.
Take three Marvelous Bezoar Pills to her.
They're in the box over there.
Let me untie you first.
Take the pills to her first!
They're in the third drawer of the box.
- Where? - In the third drawer.
Are these the pills?
Right. Move up!
Eat these.
Go away. I won't take the shit pills.
Mr. Woo asked you to take them. Swallow them.
Go away!
Alright. Go in. Behave yourself.
Mr. Woo.
Has she taken the pills, Mo-Kei?
Yes, she has.
How do you feel? Does your belly hurt?
It's none of your business.
All of you leave us. If my wife dies, I'll die with her.
She's your wife?
What's this all about, Mr. Woo?
It's all my fault.
Leave us!
Go.
Don't take the poison, darling.
It's made from venomous insects and poisonous herbs.
Don't take so much, darling.
That's a portion for three persons.
Honey, I'm sorry.
I know you have taken the poison yourself. I can't cure you.
Let's meet in heaven.
There we'll continue our marriage.
I have the antidote for the poison, darling.
Let's stop competing.
Reactivate me right away, or it'll be too late.
Take the antidote right away.
And then give yourself an acupuncture treatment.
Somebody help me!
Darling.
We've been husband and wife for over 20 years.
My love for you will last forever.
- For the sake of me, save yourself. - No need.
- If you cure those people... - If you die, I won't live alone.
-...Elderly Golden Flower won't let you off. - Let's die together.
- I had no choice but poisoned myself to push you. - Let's meet in heaven.
- I was doing that for your own good. - Leave me alone.
You mustn't die, darling.
I can't live alone.
It's my fault, darling.
Elderly Golden Flower.
I won't compete with you again, darling.
Stand up, Mo-Kei.
Why are you torturing yourself like this, darling?
Why did you poison yourself?
Darling.
- What a sin! - Mr. Woo...
Are you OK, Mr. Woo?
Make him take the antidote.
And give him an acupuncture treatment.
Hurry up!
Or it'll be too late!
Save him!
Darling.
Take the antidote.
Take it, or it'll be too late, darling.
I must leave this place.
- Mr. Woo. - Darling.
- I must leave this place. - Please save him.
- I must leave this place! - His situation is worse than mine.
- I'll leave this place right away. - He took too much.
Treat him right away, or it'll be too late.
Right. Build up two graves
and mark my wife's name and mine on them.
I got it, Mr. Woo.
We'll be buried together, darling.
Let's be husband and wife in our next life.
Bring my scripture here, Mo-Kei.
OK.
Here you are, Mr. Woo.
Mo-Kei.
This is my painstaking effort.
I'm now giving it to you.
The Death's Palm still affects you and it's very hard to cure.
I wish you could find some way to cure yourself from this book.
And I wish you'd be fine when we meet again.
Thank you very much, Mr. Woo.
Thank you.
Boy, you saved my husband and me and reconciled us.
I should pass all my skills on to you,
but what I've been studying is poison.
It won't do you any good.
I wish you could recover soon.
I'll make you up in future.
Mr. and Mrs. Woo. May your souls rest peacefully in heaven!
Mr. Woo, you died so innocently.
May your soul rest peacefully in heaven!
Little boy. What's your relation with Woo Ching-Ngau?
Why are you wearing the willow for him?
I was his patient.
Your pulse is so strange. What illness have you got?
It's the Death's Palm.
The Death's Palm?
The legendary Death's Palm!
Who hurt you?
I can't recall that.
I came to Mr. Woo for a treatment,
but he refused, because I am not a Parseeist.
Days ago, he poisoned himself to death.
I'm very sad about that.
What a pity!
Life is doomed.
Who can be sure that cowardice is advisable?
Who can be sure that cowardice will save his skin?
Who can be sure that he won't regret about his cowardice later?
What does that mean?
Those line tell us that everyone's life is doomed,
and that no one can control it.
Cowardice can't change anything
or save you from danger.
Don't make yourself die with regret.
Cherish your life and whatever you have had.
Everyone dies.
But death can be foretold.
So try to live as long as you can.
What's your name, little boy?
My name is Chang Mo-Kei.
Where are you from?
I'm from Wudang Sect.
Wudang Sect? What's your father's name?
My father's name is Chang Chui-San.
Offspring of a decent sect, huh?
If you're Chang Chui-San's son,
you must know where Tse-Shun and the Dragon Sabre are. Am I right?
Right. Someone once tried to make me talk,
but I didn't give in.
So you do know where Tse Shun is?
Right. I do know that,
but I won't tell anyone about that.
Good boy.
If you tell me where Tse-Shun is,
I'll cure your injury
and even teach you profound kung-fu. What do you think?
No, thanks!
To keep this secret, my father sacrificed himself.
I won't tell it out, either.
You can fill mercury into my ears.
- Go away. - Come on.
You can make me swallow steel needles.
Come on.
You can even make me swallow bloodsuckers.
Come on!
I've grown up.
I won't fear you. Come on.
- Go away. - Why don't you go ahead?
You're still a child.
Thank my grandma for sparing you.
Why should I?
Everyone dies.
If she kills me now, I'll suffer less.
You're no good boy. I don't want to talk to you.
Yan Lei. I know you feel lonely on the island.
What about we take this boy back with us
and let him serve you on the island?
He's a good boy,
except that he's a little tough.
That'll be great, grandma.
You can do something to tame him.
That's a good idea.
Go to the Island ofVipers with us, little boy.
But before that, we'll go to look for one person first.
Then we'll go back to the island.
You people are no good. I won't go anywhere with you.
The Island ofVipers is a fun place. You'll love it.
Go with me.
You are going with me, boy.
Stop resisting.
Kei Hiu-Fu. Come out to let me have a look.
Are you OK, Brother Mo-Kei?
Why haven't you died?
Brother Mo-Kei.
Mom. What's wrong with Brother Mo-Kei?
Are you OK, Mo-Kei?
When did you become so cowardly, Hiu-Fu?
Let old madam take a close look at you.
Master.
You really disappointed me, Hiu-Fu.
You owe me an explanation for something.
Are you going with us or not? Go away.
Stop beating him.
Are you going with us or not?
Answer me! Go away!
Stop beating him.
Answer me now!
How are you, master?
Not so bad as you expected.
This old lady wants to have a close look at you.
Go ahead and meet her request.
Yes, master.
Stop beating him.
Stop it!
What're you doing?
I thought you were on the Island ofVipers, Elderly Golden Flower.
What're you doing here?
Are you the lord of Emei Sect?
Yes, I am.
My husband passed away years ago.
I felt lonely staying on the island alone.
So I came here to seek some new partner.
Is that a problem to you?
Let's fight!
Are you going with us or not?
Say yes!
Miss Kwow Sheung, founder of Emei Sect,
was world-renowned for her profound swordsmanship.
I wonder how capable her adherents are.
I'm capable enough to root out you the evil.
I'll beat you to death.
What're you doing? How dare you bite me?
Let me go. Stop biting me!
Stand up, Pat-Fai.
- Mom. - What're you doing?
- Stand up. - Go away!
- Pat-Fai. - Brother Mo-Kei.
Brother Mo-Kei...
Stop beating him.
I dare you to bite me again!
Stop beating him.
Master...
This is my disciple's sword.
It was not strong enough.
The Heaven Sword!
Yes, master.
The legendary Heaven Sword?
Right, this is the Heaven Sword.
So it's in your hands. What a surprise!
Let's fight again.
Can you let me have a look at the edge of the sword, ma'am?
The cost of seeing it might be your life.
You won't like the risk.
Yan Lei.
This is not over, Chang Mo-Kei!
I will be waiting for you.
Aunt Kei...
This is not over!
Master. That old woman was so stupid to fight you.
She'd only get her ass kicked, yet she asked for it.
I won't say it again,
but next time any of you hear her cough, avoid her.
Hiu-Fu, follow me.
- Mom... - Stop yelling. - Mom.
Come back, Pat-Fai.
- Mom... - Stop yelling. - Mom.
Stop yelling. Let's hide ourselves.
You question her, Man-Kwan.
Yes, master.
What's the third commandment of our sect, Hiu-Fu?
Abstain from sexual lust.
What about the sixth one?
Abstain from betraying fellows for outsiders.
And the punishment for the violator?
Master.
I have my difficulties.
Please let me explain.
Alright. There's no outsider here.
Tell me your difficulty.
Yes, master.
That year, after the unveiling of the Dragon Sabre was held on Mt. Wangpan,
you sent sixteen of us there to look for Tse Shun.
One night,
some outlaws knocked me out with drugs
and took away the Heaven Sword.
At that crucial moment,
a warrior in white beat down all the outlaws
and got the sword back for me.
How are you, lady?
Let me help you with it.
I was knocked out by some tasteless drugs.
Now I can hardly move my finger.
You travelled alone carrying a treasure.
Those outlaws have been coveting at you for long.
Do you realize what risk you're taking?
Well...
Lady...
After he saved me, he cured my injury
and looked after me till I had fully recovered.
Then he escorted me back to Mt. Emei to fulfill the mission.
That's how I kept the Heaven Sword safe.
He was so kind and gentle
that I could easily feel his sincere love for me.
I couldn't resist his love
and eventually fell in love with him.
Later, I found myself pregnant.
I dared not to tell you about that,
so I went to ground and gave birth to a baby girl.
Later, Man-Kwan exposed the whole thing.
I was too ashamed to see you again, so I left.
That's all about my story.
Did you tell the truth?
I dare not to lie to you, master.
My poor girl!
It was not your fault.
What's your plan?
My parents have betrothed me to Mr. Yan Lei-Ting.
But I'm not good enough for him anymore.
I wish you could allow me to enter religion and take the tonsure.
Take the tonsure?
You can't do that.
Tell me who that bastard is?
His name is Yeung Shing.
What? Yeung Shing?
The monster Yeung Shing,
the 1st Deputy Chief of the evil cult of Parseeism?
Right. He's one of the leaders of the Parseeists.
All Parseeists are monstrous.
That man is an evil monster!
Keep quiet.
Answer me!
Is he in the Bright Peak of Mt. Kunlun now?
Is he an enemy to us, master?
He's our worst enemy.
He killed my senior fellow sister
and even violated you.
Damn Yeung Shing.
I've been looking for you for years.
You killed my senior and even violated my disciple.
I'll settle the accounts with you one by one.
Hiu-Fu. You lost your virtue to Yeung Shing,
defended the evil Monk Pank, offended Man-Kwan,
deceived me and even bore a stigma of unwed motherhood.
I can forgive you,
but you must do one thing for me to make up your mistakes.
After you finish the task,
I'll pass on all my skills to you
and the Heaven Sword as well,
and I'll even make you the next lord of our sect.
Am I understood?
Yeung Shing.
Master orders me to kill you to avenge her senior,
but I won't do that.
We were so happy together.
Hiu-Fu.
No. I'm engaged with Mr. Yan ofWudang.
So what?
I can't...
You haven't married him yet, Hiu-Fu.
I love you sincerely.
- Hiu-Fu. - No. - Hiu-Fu.
Follow me, Hiu-Fu.
Yeung Shing. I never regretted. Goodbye.
Bring up our daughter.
Everyone obeys the rules, Hiu-Fu.
Think twice.
I'm ready, master.
Let's meet in our next life, Yeung Shing.
Keep quiet.
Man-Kwan. Kam-Yee. Let's go.
- Mom. - Aunt Kei.
- Aunt Kei. - Mom...
Aunt Kei.
Why did they do this to you, Aunt Kei?
Their aim is Yeung Shing, Pat-Fai's father.
Aunt Kei.
Wake up, mom.
Why did you bury my mom here, brother?
You mom has gone to heaven.
She's looking at us up there now.
Why didn't she take me with her?
Am I abandoned, brother?
No.
You'll meet your mom again one day.
Stop crying. I'll take you to your dad.
I want my mom back. Mom!
Your mom is not there, Pat-Fai. Stop crying.
I won't cry again, brother.
Mom will buy me candies if l behave well.
That's my good girl.
- I won't cry again. - Good girl.
Look! Two men are hanging on the threes.
- Mr. Woo? - That's so horrible.
Poor Mr. Woo!
Elderly Golden Flower still got them in the end.
Now I understand.
Mr. Woo was doing everything for his wife.
He refused to cure the outsiders,
and therefore offended many people.
Elderly Golden Flower was one of them.
She came to take revenge on Mr. Woo.
Mrs. Woo came all the way to save her husband,
but still...
Damn that Elderly Golden Flower!
She killed the Woo's
and even hung their bodies on the trees.
What a cruel old woman!
A book!
- Pat-Fai. - Don't leave me alone. - I'll be right back.
It's a manual.
I'm scared, Brother Mo-Kei.
"A Manual of all Poisons."
It must be the manual that Mrs. Woo mentioned about.
- I'm hungry. - We're almost there.
Is that beautiful, Pat-Fai?
Yes.
- Let's move on. - Alright.
We finally reached Mt. Kunlun. Look at that peak.
Look over there, brother.
There's a pavilion there.
Fire! We may find some food there.
Let's go find it out. Go.
- Wait for me here, Pat-Fai. - OK.
Come over here, Brother Mo-Kei.
There's some food in the pan.
Nobody is here. Oh, great!
Come over here, Brother Mo-Kei.
There's some food in the pan.
Let's find out what we can eat.
We'll have a full meal. Great!
What're these? Leaves?
Let me go.
Two little lambs.
Mr. Kan. Mr. Sit.
Tell me where her mom is.
She's gone to find some food. She'll be right back.
You're lying. My mom has gone to heaven.
This is a deserted place.
If you can find any food here,
- I'll respect you as god. - Wait!
Let's cook them.
You can eat me, but please let my sister go.
Playing heroic, huh? Alright. I'll kill you first.
You little liar. Remember how you treated us?
You almost killed us.
Right.
Kill the girl first.
Let's save the boy for future use.
No way! Young man.
- You saved us in the Butterfly Valley. - Stop crying, Pat-Fai.
But we're suffering famine. We have no choice.
Everyone needs to eat.
- Right. We need to eat. - Don't be afraid, Pat-Fai.
God will punish you.
You conscienceless guys!
Are you OK, kids?
Thank you for saving us.
Stand up.
How should I address you, gentlemen?
I'll repay you in future.
Little boy. We've witnessed your heroic deed.
You're a real hero.
We admire you very much.
Right.
What you give out, you get back.
You just got what you paid out.
- My name is Tsui Tat. - Mr. Tsui.
- This is Chu Yuen-Cheung. - Mr. Chu.
He's one of the monks in Huangjue Temple.
These are his good friends.
Nice to meet you all!
He's a dissolute monk.
Why said so?
He seldom chants sutras.
All the time, he drinks wine and eat meat.
Right. I like eating meat,
but I don't eat human flesh. Don't be afraid, little girl.
They're good sorts, Pat-Fai.
Don't be afraid.
Little boy, come on. Have some meat.
Oh, so hot. Come on.
Yummy! Let me have some more.
Easy. There are still lots of meat.
Little boy, what's your name?
Why did you leave your parents?
My dad is Chang Chui-San, a member ofWudang Sect.
Her mom is Kei Hiu-Fu, a member of Emei Sect.
Her mom and my parents have passed away.
We're on our way to Mt. Kunlun, to look for Yeung Shing, her dad.
So you are descendants of prestigious sects. Good for you!
In these troubled times,
people have to suffer from life
and be tyrannized by the government.
Half of the citizens in Fengyang City have died of famine.
That's the case throughout the country.
Life is impossible for us.
I say we rise up and fight the government.
I'll go with you.
Little boy.
You're too small to do that with us.
Look. We're too poor to give you any money.
We'll leave the beef to you.
I wish we could meet again
and have beef together again.
Thank you, Mr. Tsui.
I wish we could all have a good life.
Me too.
See you.
Goodbye.
Great!
The Golden Peak is just ahead of us.
Great!
Brother Mo-Kei. I can't walk anymore. I'm starving.
When we get to the peak of Mt. Kunlun,
we'll have all kinds of food. Come on.
Let me carry you on my back. Come on.
One, two, three.
Excuse me, sir.
How far is the Golden Peak of Mt. Kunlun from here?
We've already reached Mt. Kunlun.
We'll go across that hill and we'll be there.
Thank you very much.
I miss my mom.
Pat-Fai.
Your mom is watching us up there.
Let me sing you a song, OK?
OK.
When I was a little boy,
my mom used to sing songs to me.
She was really good at singing.
We are almost there, Pat-Fai.
I'm exhausted, brother.
I'm exhausted, too. Come on.
Let's have a rest here.
- Let's sit here. - OK. - So dusty.
Come over here, Brother Mo-Kei.
There're some fruits.
They're venomous. Don't eat them.
What do we do now?
They're venomous. We can't eat them.
Come back, sweetie.
- Someone is coming. Let's hide ourselves. - Listen to me.
I won't believe you again. Stop following me.
