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

"In memory ofYeung Ding-Tin, the late lord of Parseeists"
I got this Manual of Time Twister by accident.
I think you should keep it.
The late lord had mentioned in his last note
that this manual should be passed on to his successor.
So you should keep it, my lord.
That's right.
The late lord was a heroic man.
Too bad he died because of his wife's betrayal.
Pity we learned about it too late,
or we wouldn't have endured this disaster.
Although Ching Kwan was our First Lady's senior,
and the Golden-haired Lion's master,
we never got a chance to meet him.
What a sly guy he was!
So surprised to learn
that he'd started planning to ruin our sect since decades ago!
Damn that asshole!
He did so many monstrous deeds.
He should go to hell!
True! He should go to hell!
Little humpback!
Siu-Chiu?
Lady.
Nice acting, Siu-Chiu.
Who the hell are you?
What are you up to here?
Please trust me, my lady,
I meant no harm to any of you.
I'm telling the truth.
Actually, I don't care who you are.
You saved our fellows.
That's a great favor to our sect.
You have the right to keep silence.
But since you are serving Mo-Kei, I must warn you this.
Never try to harm him a bit,
or I'll make you pay.
Remember. I'll always be watching you.
Mo-Kei...
Pat-Fai.
Mo-Kei.
I should call you "my lord" now.
Come on. Don't be so cold.
We are like brother and sister!
True. We are like brother and sister!
Back then, I was so small and so weak.
You risked your life to escort me to my father.
All these years,
I haven't had a chance to thank you.
Thank you very much for your care and protection.
That's it?
That's all you want to say to me?
Not exactly. I...
Pat-Fai, you're a big girl now.
And you look just like your mom did.
Pat-Fai.
What's wrong?
All these years,
I've been waiting for you,
hoping that you'd come to see me one day.
I thought about going to you,
but my father wouldn't let me leave the Bright Peak.
I understand. I am right here with you now.
So be happy, OK?
Come on. Don't cry.
Mo-Kei.
Where have you been all these years?
Life must have been hard for you.
Well...Iet's not talk about that.
Let's forget about the past.
I'm doing fine anyway.
Indeed.
Pat-Fai, uh...
If you have any question for me, just go ahead.
That girl Siu-Chiu... well, what has she done wrong?
Why did you have her chained?
One day, my father took me to downtown.
We found her...
Uncle Yeung.
My lord.
Dad.
How is your condition?
Thanks to your careful treatment,
I've already recovered now.
Siu-Chiu, put the water in my room.
Yes, sir.
Uncle Yeung, Siu-Chiu and I once went through life and death,
and she has done nothing wrong.
Can you unchain her?
Sure. No problem.
Pat-Fai, you hear the lord?
Unchain Siu-Chiu.
OK. But I left the key in my room.
I don't have it on me now.
Uh...
Never mind. The key is fireproof.
When this is all over,
we'll go up there to find it.
Pat-Fai.
Can you give us a moment?
We need to talk.
OK.
My lord. Indeed, Siu-Chiu is very young,
but she's an odd girl.
We must be wary of her.
Where did she come from?
Six months ago, Pat-Fai and I met her down the hill.
She said that some Mongol soldiers killed her parents.
Hearing her sad story, I pitied her,
so I took her in and made her Pat-Fai's maid.
What happened later?
After I took her back to the Bright Peak,
I accidentally found that she's with marvelous kung-fu skills!
Maybe she had learnt the skills from her parents.
That's the question.
If Siu-Chiu had learnt kung-fu from her parents,
that means her parents were excellent martial artists.
In that case,
they shouldn't have been killed by ordinary soldiers.
From then on, I'd paid special attention to her.
One day, I was telling a joke to Pat-Fai.
She couldn't stop laughing.
So did Siu-Chiu.
She was standing behind me and Pat-Fai,
so she thought I didn't notice her.
But at that time,
Pat-Fai was playing with a dagger,
which was like a mirror,
and it clearly reflected Siu-Chiu's true color.
I pretended to be calm.
But inside, I was really shocked.
She looked like a dead ringer for one of my friends!
Especially her eyes,
almost the same as my friend's!
This friend and our sect go back way too long,
so long that I can't make it clear to you for now.
If Siu-Chiu are in some relation with that person,
without doubt,
she must have come for something.
Therefore,
I chained her with a chain made of black iron
to make her tinkle whenever she moves,
so that she can't secretly attack or hurt Pat-Fai.
I kept her alive,
because I wanted to dig into her background.
I'm sure she's hiding something.
Of course, she is just a little girl.
Too young to do us much harm.
And now, by luck,
she's become your maid,
enjoying a great deal of your favor.
Listen up, the Eagles.
Our sect originated from Parseeism.
Twenty years ago,
I had a quarrel with my Parseeist fellows,
so I quit and established the Eagles.
Now our sect is under Mr. Chang's leadership,
so we should let go the past and stick together again!
We shall obey Mr. Chang!
Lord.
From now on,
we are no longer the Eagles!
How did it go?
We have sent all those punks from fractional sects down the hill.
Indeed.
As we were told,
we didn't hurt them.
Well done, guys!
Thank you.
Gentlemen. Mr. Chang saved our lives.
We all owe him much.
So we must repay him with full loyalty.
If anyone ofyou has a different opinion,
get the hell out of here now!
Full loyalty to my lord!
How great it is!
The divided parts of our sect are back in one again!
Mr. Yan is Mr. Chang's grandfather.
He can share the leadership with Mr. Chang.
That's right.
We only have one lord, and his name is Chang.
No one should call me lord again,
or he'll be treated as a traitor!
Good point!
The Eagles and Parseeists are united again.
It's a great thing!
Gentlemen, I took the leadership in an urgent situation.
I'm not qualified enough for the post.
Now that our crisis has passed,
and without doubt,
we have many candidates here who're more suitable,
so it's time to select a new lord!
Please put yourself in our shoes, my lord.
Because of the fight for the leadership, our sect fell apart.
Now all our fellows have accepted you as our lord.
So just keep the position.
How about this?
You appoint one person to take your place.
No, it is not right.
I will accept nobody except you!
True.
How about I take the position? It won't work.
Nobody will submit to me.
My lord, you have to shoulder this responsibility,
- or our sect will go back to the state of disunity! - True!
And we'll have to turn to you again.
- Agreed? - Totally!
Take the position, Mr. Chang!
Thank you for your trust in me.
In this case, I will work as an acting lord for now.
Congratulations, my lord!
OK. Listen up, everyone.
I hope you guys can meet the following three requirements.
As long as you take the leadership,
we will meet any requirement you bring up, right?
Right!
Please tell us the requirements, my lord.
People label us the Parseeists as evil.
That's because they don't really understand us.
But it's bad if we consider ourselves as evil.
So my first requirement is...
that you should strictly abide by the regulations of our sect,
and to help the weak and fight the evil.
All members must treat each other as brothers,
instead of fighting each other.
Agreed.
No worries, Mr. Chow.
You can still call names.
I'd like to appoint Mr. Lang Him as Chief Justice.
He's granted with the power to punish any violator of our rules,
including me, my family and my seniors.
With no exception.
- Fair enough. - Yes, it is.
My second requirement might be a bit harder.
Our sect has been on bad terms with the others.
We used to seek revenge on them,
and they did the same to us.
From now on, let go the past hatred.
Don't arouse any more conflicts with other sects.
My lord.
What if the people from other sects come at us first?
We will have to do something, right?
What shall we do?
Then we will play it by ear.
If they push us too hard,
of course we will defend ourselves.
Great!
OK. We're fine with your second request.
Yes, indeed.
After all,
we owe you our lives.
You have the say.
Gentlemen. I have something to say.
We've lost many men in the fights against other sects,
and in return, we have killed many of their men.
If both sides stick to the idea of revenge,
more lives will be taken.
Our lord now orders us to let go the past hatred.
That is in fact for our own good.
That's right.
Our lord is really thoughtful!
My third requirement is
to follow the late lord Mr. Yeung's last wish.
In his last note, the one who finds the Divine Flame Tokens
will be his successor, the 34th lord of our sect,
and Tse Shun will be the acting lord after his death.
So our priority now is to welcome Mr. Tse back to the central land,
then to find the tokens.
When the work is done, I will step down.
And I hope you can respect my decision by then.
Come on, Mr. Chang. Just take the job.
We need you.
Please accept the offer.
The late lord's note was written 30 years ago.
The situation has changed.
We shall welcome Tse Shun back. That's for sure.
And we shall find the tokens back, too.
But to let anyone else be our lord, well,
we can't accept it.
That's right.
But that is the late lord's last wish.
We must abide by it.
Tse Shun might have already died.
And the tokens have been missing for a century.
We might never find them.
I should agree to his request and play it by ear.
OK. It's your call.
OK. I'd like Mr. Lang to take charge of the headquarters.
The other senior chiefs will go with me to look for Mr. Tse!
At your command, my lord!
Siu-Chiu.
Yes, my lord.
Don't call me that.
I'm still your friend.
What are you doing here?
You were holding a meeting.
I felt bored, so...
Lord. Lord. Lord. Everyone calls me lord now.
I never wanted to be anybody's lord!
Listen. Don't call me lord again when no one else is around us.
By the way, I've asked Pat-Fai to look for the key.
The fire has burnt up the house,
so it'll take some time.
Never mind. I am already used to this chain.
In fact, I kind of love the tinkling.
Forget about the key.
Siu-Chiu, stay on the Bright Peak.
I...I will leave to look for my godfather.
He has the Dragon Sabre.
When we come back with him,
I'll break the chain with the sabre to set you free!
Thank you, my lord.
My dear, I am so glad for you.
I am glad, too.
Have fun tonight.
Look, they are having fun!
Cheers, my lord!
- No, thanks. - Oh, come on!
My grandfather will drink with you.
No problem. I'll drink with you. Come on!
Bottoms up!
Come on, everyone!
Cheers! Cheers!
Bottoms up!
Try some, lord.
Enjoy it.
Nice wine!
Come on! Pour me a drink!
Pour me a drink! Cheers!
Mo-Kei.
Don't stay up late.
Good night.
Stop it, dad.
Go to bed! Tomorrow will be a busy day!
My lord...
Good night.
Come on, pour me a drink!
Siu-Chiu. Why are you here?
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
There, there.
Be good, OK?
It's dark out here.
Don't you feel scared?
But I want to stay with you!
I want to be with you wherever you are!
OK, OK, OK.
I promise.
Wherever I go,
I'll take you along, OK?
That's my girl.
If you keep crying,
you'll become ugly.
Why? I am pretty now, right?
Yes, and you will be prettier in future,
much prettier than you are now.
Mo-Kei.
Will you always let me stay with you?
Oh, come on, silly girl. I was kidding!
You hungry?
Come on. Let's go eat something.
My lord. It's been so quiet all along our way.
True. That's a bit weird.
Everyone, stay alarmed.
Follow up!
Seems they are Parseeists.
Girls, stop them!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
They must know where master is.
Let me ask them. Hey, jerks!
Who are you calling?
Who the hell are you?
How dare you!
Ladies, are you from Emei?
Screw you, evil Parseeists!
Don't try to stall for time!
May I have your name?
Why are you so angry?
Who do you think you are, jerk?
Who are you?
This gentleman is the lord of Parseeists,
the best martial artist ever.
Our two Deputy Chiefs,
Four Guardian Warriors, Five Banners, Five Freemen
and Four Sections are under his leadership.
That's right.
He beat your master,
and even took the Heaven Sword away from her.
Now tell me.
Does such a man deserve some of your respect?
Answer him!
He's the lord of Parseeists?
Under our lord's order,
we're now sincerely going to seek truce with you people.
I'm Pui Kam-Yee.
Have you seen my master, please?
It's been half a month since she left the peak.
I guess she has passed the Jade Gate Pass.
You seemed to have come along this way.
Could you have missed her?
We sent out three groups to meet her,
using signal flares to stay in touch.
We couldn't have missed her!
That's very weird, isn't it?
You have held my master and other disciples hostage, haven't you?
If so, quit pretending.
Release them!
Let me tell you something.
Your fellows overestimated themselves and attacked our headquarters.
Ridiculous!
Except your master,
we've had all those girls locked up and made them ponder.
Poor them!
They might have to stay in there for many years!
Screw you!
Or worse, they may have to die in there!
He was kidding. Please don't take it seriously.
Your master is an excellent martial artist.
All her disciples are also outstanding.
No one can have them detained.
Maybe they have returned to Mt. Emei.
You'll see them when you go back.
Trust us.
My fellow Chow was just kidding. Don't take it seriously.
Mr. Chang is our lord.
As a noble man, he'll never make fun of you girls.
You Parseeists are always sly.
Not trustworthy at all!
I'm the White-Eye-Browed Eagle.
Trust me. I can kill you all with a thumb.
But today, I will let you off.
However, girls, you must watch your mouth.
Hey...
Miss Pui.
Please send my best wishes to your master.
Let's go.
Brother, we have to seize time to find master.
You're right. Let's go!
You deserve it!
I'm sorry, your highness.
Your highness, Yuen Chun is here.
Yes, your highness.
Leave.
Honored to meet you, your highness.
Master.
Things didn't go wrong on the Bright Peak, did they?
You've already heard about it?
Now I am sure something went wrong.
You foresaw things, your highness.
I had taken down several of their chiefs
and was so close to success.
But all of a sudden,
a young man came out of nowhere and saved them.
His kung-fu was so amazing
that even the lord of Emei Sect lost to him,
though she had the Heaven Sword in hand.
And at last, he subdued all the evil chiefs one by one.
Who was that man?
I played dead to get out of the trouble.
Later, I found out the man's identity.
His name is Chang Mo-Kei.
Chang Mo-Kei?
A young man at your age.
Seems he's in some relation with Wudang.
Now he has become the lord of Parseeists.
The Parseeists have a lord now?
For decades, they have lived without a lord,
fighting and killing each other,
which gave us a great chance to weaken them.
But now,
all of a sudden, they're given a lord.
Seems it's not that easy to get rid of him, huh?
According to my observation,
around Chang Mo-Kei,
there are several girls attracted to him.
Even Chow Chi-Yeu, a member of Emei Sect,
has a crush on that young man.
She could have stabbed him to death,
but she slanted her sword,
Ieaving him alive.
There must be a catch in it.
Yes. Others were running for their lives,
so they didn't take notice of the situation.
But I saw the whole thing very clearly.
Sung Ching-Shu, a young Wudang warrior,
paid special attention to every move of Chow's.
He was shocked by what Chow did,
and he seemed to be jealous of Chang Mo-Kei.
That is great!
Let's take advantage of their complicated emotions.
Maybe we can do something. Make out a plan.
What an ignorant girl!
Your military force is what I need
to take down Chang Mo-Kei.
I really wonder how you will make Chang surrender!
That's what I thought.
Sorry for the failure this time.
I promise I will make it work next time.
If not, I will accept any punishment!
No worries. I won't blame you for that.
What are the six main sects doing?
They're going back.
Great.
Let's stick to our plan.
Show time!
Yes, your highness. Got you!
Your highness.
Tell the spies on the Bright Peak
to keep a close eye on the Parseeists. Got it?
Yes, your highness.
Chang Mo-Kei. I hope you are ready for this.
My lord, something is wrong.
The nun and her disciples headed for east,
so they couldn't have missed the girls we met just now.
Besides, they normally would leave marks along the way,
so they couldn't have lost contact with each other.
I agree with you.
There must be something wrong.
But what could have happened to them?
My lord, I found some dead bodies!
They are from Kong-Tong sect!
My lord, they all died of sword wounds and were left unburied.
Obviously, they were killed by their enemies and left behind.
Right.
Put each body apart.
Rest them in peace.
Yes, my lord!
If we don't find out the truth,
people will blame this on us.
That's right.
Enemies are everywhere!
Bury them.
We must stay alarmed.
Yes, my lord.
Mr. Wai, go ahead to scout along the path.
Yes, my lord!
My lord! My lord!
I found Mr. Yan Lei-Ting laying on the way ahead.
He's seriously injured and out of consciousness.
Where is he?
- Not far from here. - Show me the way.
Come on!
- Uncle! - Mr. Yan!
Uncle!
Mo-Kei.
- Uncle! - Mr. Yan!
Who did this to you?
The Shaolin monks!
There were five of them.
Uncle!
I'm sure they are Shaolin monks!
Shaolin monks?
Uncle! Give me the medicine!
Like your Uncle Toi-Ngan,
I was hurt by the power of Bone-breaking Pinch.
Mo-Kei, you must avenge me!
I'll find out the real criminal and avenge you!
I promise.
How do they look like?
Uncle...
- Uncle... - Mr. Yan...
Listen up!
From now on, we'll take night shifts by turns.
We must not let anyone harm our lord!
Yes, sir!
Stay alarmed!
Yes, sir!
What should I do?
Should I go to Shaolin Temple?
Should I find that ruthless murderer
to avenge my uncles and my parents?
Siu-Chiu.
It's not that easy to let go hatred.
But if you bury it deep down in your heart,
it will spread out bit by bit like virus,
and it'll poison your mind.
I've led all Parseeists to make a vow
that we'll never seek revenge.
However, when it came to myself,
I totally forgot the vow right away!
Shame on me!
Never mind. It's no big deal.
There's no end to the act of revenge,
and revenge will be met with loss of lives only.
Countless lives!
Many people will die for it.
Even you and I cannot escape it.
When you took the job,
you aimed at settling disputes.
But things seem to be going against your will,
and conflicts come at you one after another.
I understand why you're upset.
Right. The obligations on me are heavy and hard to get rid of.
More trouble will come to me.
Siu-Chiu.
How I wish I were not the lord of Parseeists!
If leading a sect should be an enjoyable job,
well,
I would like to get a job alike.
Mo-Kei.
If you are really going to step down,
I will be supportive,
and we can seek a peaceful place,
where we'll live a quiet life together,
Iike brother and sister.
But if you are going to keep your job,
you'll still have my full support.
Thank you.
Finally.
Hiu-Fu...
Hiu-Fu...I miss you so much...
Don't leave me again.
I'm not...Come on, take the medicine.
Hiu-Fu, no matter what you did,
I have forgiven you.
I don't care how people will judge me.
I just want to be with you!
Promise me that you'll never leave me again!
Promise me!
OK, OK, OK. Take the medicine.
Don't ever leave me again, OK?
Promise me!
OK. I promise. I will always stay by your side.
Don't worry.
Uncle Yeung.
My lord, how is Mr. Yan's condition?
He'll be fine.
But he might not be able to walk again...
What are you going to do with this matter?
I planned to meet Master Hung-Man, lord of Shaolin, for an explanation.
However...
You're afraid that discord will be aroused, right?
I've led all our sect members to swear
that we'd never seek any conflict with any other sect in the martial world again.
- But now... - Be seated.
Sit down.
Ifl lead our men to Shaolin for revenge,
that'll be like breaking my own words!
My lord, it's a matter of justice.
We Parseeists are willing to reconcile with other sects.
But if anyone stirs things up,
if they harm our friends,
we will not sit out!
What do the other chiefs say?
Seeing what happened to Mr. Yan,
they are all outraged.
They want revenge.
OK.
We'll go to Shaolin then.
OK.
But remember. Before the truth is out,
we must always stay calm and avoid conflicts.
Sure. I'll go deliver your order.
Good night.
Pat-Fai.
Dad.
How is Mr. Yan now?
He's sleeping.
Do take good care of him.
You hear me?
I will. Don't worry.
But dad, he tried to kill you. Don't you hate him?
Well, he has his reason.
You see, your mom...
After all, I owe him much.
So please take good care of him
to make things up for me.
Dad, you're incredible.
Oh, come on.
I made a mistake when I was young.
And the mistake turned Mr. Yan's life into a misery.
But you are incredible indeed.
He tried to kill you, but you told me to nurse him.
To me,
you're the most heroic man in this world!
Silly girl.
Enough about me. Let's talk about you.
When will you get a heroic husband?
Dad!
