♫ 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

-It's getting late. Have a rest. - Good night.
Chow Chi-Yeuk's wedding was a failure.
She was dumped in front of the people from every sect.
Because of her, our sect's prestige has been destroyed.
She's not good enough to be our lord anymore.
That's not true, sis.
We were also on the scene that day.
Right, sis.
It was all Chang Mo-Kei's fault.
Who said I was wrong?
You're in no place to criticize me.
What Chang Mo-Kei did has humiliated our sect.
Perhaps Chow Chi-Yeuk is hiding herself in a secluded cave.
I'm afraid she won't come back.
So I suggest we elect a new lord.
Welcome back, my lord!
Take him in.
Please mind your manners, Mr. Sung.
My lord.
What's up?
A monk sent us an invitation.
It's for a gathering in Shaolin Temple on the Dragon Boat Festival.
On that day, the monks will pillory and kill Tse Shun
in front of all invited guests from all sects.
We need your instruction, my lord.
Reply the monk.
- Tell him that we'll be there. - Yes, my lord.
We've almost fully recovered.
It's time we got moving again.
The best way is to get that man under control
and make him work for us.
But he has a big mouth.
I'm afraid he'll give the show away.
How about we go to Mt. Shaoshi first? It's near Shaolin.
We'll figure out what to do there.
Before we move on,
we have to disguise ourselves.
Disguise? Alright, I'll disguise myself as an old man,
and you a nun.
Oh, come on. Be smart, OK?
An old man and a nun travelling around together?
Don't you think that's weird?
Well, let's disguise ourselves as a poor couple
and farm at the foot of the mountain.
Why not as brother and sister?
Why as a couple?
If Miss Chow saw us,
she'd attack me again.
I don't want to get another five holes on my shoulder.
Let's go.
What about him?
Alright.
I've reactivated you. Bug off.
Thank you very much.
Wait. Let me warn you beforehand.
You must stay away from the chills,
or you'll be dead,
so you must live in the south all your life. Am I right?
- Exactly. - Listen up!
You must leave for the south later.
The hotter place it is, the safer.
Stay away from the chills,
or... Got it?
Yes, lady.
Thank you very much, lady.
Thank him.
Thank you, sir.
I bet he'll live a very long life in the south.
You naughty girl!
If you want to maintain your young appearance,
you should live in the south all your life.
Oh, it hurts. Can't you hear me?
You hurt me, you know?
It hurts, doesn't it?
- I dare you to pretend! - No.
- Halt there. - Come over here. You haven't recovered yet.
That's the place we're heading for.
Seems we can't go ahead today.
There's a house over there.
Let's put up there for a night.
Alright. Let's go.
Come on.
Sir. We've taken a long trip.
Could we borrow some drink from you?
Sir...
My husband is deaf.
How can I help you?
We've taken a long trip, ma'am.
- Could we have some water in your house? - Could we?
No problem. Come on in.
- Thank you very much. - Come on.
Let's go.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
Come on. Mind your steps.
Ah-Ngau, hurry.
Come on. We have plenty of water here.
You can have as much as you want.
My brother and I were passing by here.
But I've got a sprained ankle, so we can't move on.
Could we put up here for a night?
We'll leave tomorrow morning.
- Have some water, lady. - Thank you, ma'am.
- Have some water. - Thanks.
You can put up here tonight.
For free!
This bed is all we have in this house.
My husband and I don't live here.
But you're brother and sister.
You can't sleep in one bed.
What do you think of this bed?
Very good.
Tell me the truth, little girl.
Is this man your boyfriend?
Did you run away from home with him?
You're really clever, ma'am.
To be frank,
Ah-Ngau and I are childhood sweethearts.
But Ah-Ngau is from a poor family,
so my dad didn't approve of us.
My mom took pity on me,
so she asked me to run away with him.
She told us to wait a couple of years until we have a baby.
She said by that time, my dad would have to accept us.
My dad is an official, a prestigious man in Beijing.
If my family discovers us,
they will definitely get us back
and they'll even hurt Ah-Ngau.
You're the first one to know about this, ma'am.
Please keep it secret for me.
No problem. I understand your difficulty.
Don't worry. I won't tell others a word about this.
This is a remote place.
Your family won't come here.
Even if they are to find you here,
I'll help you. I won't let them touch you.
So don't worry.
Alright. Thank you very much, ma'am.
I feel relieved now.
Ah-Ngau...
Come and thank the madam.
Thank you, ma'am.
Finally we can have a rest.
Did you notice anything weird about this old couple?
I didn't notice anything.
Look at the old woman.
From the way she lifted the water
and wept the floor just now,
I can tell she's a kung-fu master.
Is she stronger than you?
Me?
You can test it.
Test? How?
I'm lighter than those two buckets of water.
I don't think so.
Am I strong?
Yes, you're very strong. You're amazing.
- Put me down. - Alright.
We can see the temple from here.
Right.
Time for meal, lady.
Coming!
- Come over here. - Alright.
The meal is ready.
Come on. It's quite a rough meal. I hope you don't mind.
- Have a seat. - Thank you, ma'am.
Come on.
- Have some meat. - Thank you, ma'am.
What do we do now? We're not supposed to sleep in the same room.
Listen! We're a fake couple.
Everything about us here is fake.
Not exactly.
Look. I am a poor guy indeed.
And you did run away from home with me.
Besides, your father does want to kill me.
And if you don't mind,
in two years,
we can have a baby of our own,
and your dad might like him.
Hey, don't take that seriously.
I can't believe you remember it so well.
I made up the story so that the old couple would take us in.
Who said I'd have a baby with you?
I don't want my children to be called small devils.
Ifl hadn't told them that story,
they wouldn't have let you stay here.
Then you wouldn't even have a chance
to go into the temple,
Iet alone to save your godfather.
And if you can't save your godfather...
It's late. Let's sleep.
You sleep in bed.
Darling.
Go sound them.
Go ahead. Move.
Pretend to be asleep. Come on! Hush!
Get close to the enemy and attack.
Kill Tse Shun and avenge our son.
What the hell are they doing?
We must kill Tse Shun. Your victimization won't go in vain.
- Victimization? - Oh, I see.
He deafened himself to resist my godfather's roaring.
What roaring?
I must take this chance and kill Tse Shun to avenge my dear son.
She thinks she can beat my godfather? Not a single chance.
Hey, what the hell are you talking about?
You're confusing me.
The old couple must be my godfather's enemies.
That old man was afraid to be hurt by my godfather's roaring,
so he turned himself into a deaf man.
Even the Shaolin people and Wudang people are not my opponents.
What's wrong with you?
They're practicing some skills that they'll use to deal with my godfather.
Most are defensive moves.
Profound masters from every sect have come to the temple successively.
We will seek a chance to get in there and kill Tse Shun.
We must avenge our son.
What're they chiseling?
Your godfather has so many enemies.
We must get him out of the temple ASAP.
Good morning, Ma'am.
Good morning.
You got up so early.
I got you some hot water.
Oh, thanks.
Look. My husband is working outside.
Let me help you.
- We have to bind them first. - Alright.
By the way, ma'am, we've been living here for some days,
but we haven't paid a penny.
So I want to find a job near here and earn some money to pay you.
I'll deliver the brushwood to the temple later.
You can go with me.
OK.
If the monks ask about you,
tell them you're my son.
I hope you don't mind.
I used to have a son.
If he had lived till now,
he'd have had children of his own.
Could my wife go with us?
Your wife is extraordinary beautiful.
You'd better not take her out.
I'll ask her to stay here then.
Alright.
Let me do it.
We're almost there.
For some reason, the temple is not open to outsiders today.
I don't know why.
But we often deliver the brushwood here,
so they'll let us in.
After you go in there, you must behave well.
- Go ahead. - OK. - Let's go.
Here you come.
Come on, put them here.
I've never seen this young man before.
Carry the brushwood to the fuel-house. Who's he?
- He's my son. - Here's your payment.
He's strong and nimble.
- Carry them to the fuel-house. - And he's very diligent.
He'll be a good hand.
Alright. Carry the brushwood up there.
OK...
You'll have lots of guests on the Dragon Boat Festival.
I guess you'll need one more hand
to chop sticks and get water.
Just let him stay.
Alright.
Be careful.
Miss Chow.
My lord.
You're not my disciple.
No need to address me like that.
As long as I can be with you,
I'm willing to work under you.
You're Sung Yuen-Kiu's son,
future successor to the Wudang Sect.
You really want to be one of us?
I've already given up by my sect's people.
They won't accept me again.
Are you really willing to work for me?
Please accept my respect, my lord.
Chi-Yeuk...
My lord...
We've all got ready.
Let's go.
All the profound masters
will attend the Golden-haired Lion's Trial.
We must grasp this chance
to get Tse Shun in hand before others do
and let the whole world know
that even though we are just girls,
we are no less than men.
Honored to meet you, my lord.
I've been practicing a kind of Kung-fu lately
and have made quite some progress.
I'll give you some quick training.
Do practice it hard.
You'll make some progress in a very short time.
What's so funny, Ting?
May I ask who this man is, my lord?
He's a new member I just took in.
It seems to me that he's your closest disciple.
Listen up!
Mr. Sung is not only a member of our sect,
but also my husband.
So be respectful to him from now on.
Damn you! How dare you beat me!
That was not our sect's kung-fu.
Our kung-fu system is more profound than you can imagine.
If you don't want to learn it, you can leave.
Does anyone of you want to learn this kung-fu?
We're waiting for your instruction, my lord.
Good.
Let's begin from the very beginning.
Yes, my lord.
Gather your strength. Have a try.
My lord.
Are you OK, sisters?
Shut the door.
This is so amazing.
At the coming convention,
I want you to beat the Wudang people
with the kung-fu I just taught you
and earn a great name for our sect.
I will, honey.
It's getting late. Leave me.
Where could I go? You told the whole sect that I'm your husband.
I did that to get rid of Ting Man-Kwan.
Don't take it seriously.
But I am serious. I won't go out.
Alright. I will go.
Oh, so hot.
What do I do now?
Just let them be, lady.
Let me handle them. Hold it.
Oh, a hen!
- It doesn't matter. - I'm sorry.
I screwed it up. I'm very sorry.
I'll cook chicken for you today.
Come on.
I don't know how to boil water.
But I'm good at massage. Come on.
- You feel comfortable? - Yes.
Do you like this?
My son was very caring.
When he was around me, he'd often give me massages.
If my son had lived till now,
he'd be a man older than you.
It's a pity that... oh, my poor child!
He was a soldier
and he died in a battle years ago.
I like you very much.
After your boyfriend comes back,
well, if he doesn't mind, I'd like to take him as my adopted son.
Then I'll bring you together
and hold a wedding for you.
It's troublous outside.
You can stay here till you can go back to your parents.
Godmother.
My good girl!
By the way,
how do you people in the central land hold a wedding?
What? Aren't you from the central land?
Of course I am.
I'm a native-born girl.
I was born in here.
My family has lived here from generations.
Please take the brushwood to the fuel-house.
Alright.
It's been 10 days since I came here.
But so far, I haven't got any clue.
I can't just stay here and do rough work only.
I can't find godfather out like this.
Though it might be risky, I must search around tonight.
But there are so many halls here.
I can hardly tell which is which.
How can I find godfather?
Because of the Golden-haired Lion,
we've killed 23 people since this month.
Killing is a great sin. I really feel sorry.
The two Deputy Chiefs of Parseeists, Yeung Siu, Fan Yiu,
and their two Guardian Warriors,
Yan Tin-Ching, Wai Yee-Siu,
have all written to me and asked me to let Tse Shun go.
I've turned them down,
but I know they won't give up.
Moreover, Mr. Chang has profound kung-fu.
But he hasn't shown up.
I'm afraid he has other fish to fry.
He once saved Hung-Chi and me.
We still owe him a favor.
I really don't know how to deal with him if he comes.
What should I do?
Gentlemen.
Do you have any advice?
Don't worry, sir.
Our three great masters are watching over Tse Shun.
He's Yuen Chun?
Everything will be fine.
This convention is related to our sect's future.
Our big aim comes first.
Sir. Don't take Chang's small favor for you to heart.
Last time, in the Temple of Grace,
the Parseeists colluded with the government
to deal with the 6 main sects.
You should have known this, sir.
- The government? - Right.
Days ago, the lord of the Parseeists Chang Mo-Kei
was about to marry Chow Chi-Yeuk, lord of Emei.
But on their wedding,
Princess Chiu Man appeared
and took Chang Mo-Kei away.
That has created quite a stir in the martial world.
You must have heard about that, haven't you?
I've heard about that.
Miss Chiu has a competent fellow.
He's called Master Fu.
Uncle Hung-Chi. You've seen him in the Temple of Grace, haven't you?
Right.
Back then, he forced me to fight with him.
I was too weak at that time to resist him.
After we finish this convention,
I'll go to Beijing again to fight him.
But, masters, do you know who he really is?
He has profound kung-fu.
Many kinds of kung-fu.
I really can't tell which sect he's from.
He's Fan Yiu, the 2nd Deputy Chief of the Parseeists.
Really?
I'm telling the truth.
On the Dragon Boat Festival,
he may come here.
You will see.
If so,
Chang Mo-Kei really is in collusion with that princess.
He incited the princess
to capture the profound masters from the 6 main sects,
then he appeared as a hero and saved us all.
It must have been so.
As far as I know, Mr. Chang is kind and righteous.
He doesn't seem to be that kind of person.
You may have wronged him.
Right.
You have a point, sir.
But, as we always say,
you may know a person's face but not his heart.
Tse Shun is Chang Mo-Kei's godfather,
and also one of the Four Guardian Warriors of the Parseeists.
The Parseeists will definitely try every means to rescue him.
When the convention comes,
you will see their true color.
Not only will the Parseeists come,
but also many others coveting at the Dragon Sabre.
A bloodbath might take place.
That's not supposed to happen here.
Sir.
We won't offend any sect.
At the convention,
if those people start a fight,
we'll stand out and clear up the mess.
Then we'll take the chance and kill Tse Shun
to comfort Master Hung-Kin's soul.
No. We can't kill any innocent people.
We mustn't offend the other sects,
or we'll become their common enemy.
But...
Right. The most important thing for now
is to force Tse Shun to tell us where the Dragon Sabre is
before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Otherwise, this convention will be meaningless.
And our prestige will be destroyed.
You're right.
If we can get the Dragon Sabre,
we'll unveil it at the convention
and announce to the whole martial world
that the sabre will be kept by us.
Then many disputes will be avoided in future.
Right.
- Yuen-Chun. - Yes.
Talk to Tse-Shun again.
Tell him that we'll let him go if he hands over the Dragon Sabre.
Yes, sir.
Honored to meet you, great masters.
I'm under the Master's order
to pay my respect to you
and to talk to Tse Shun.
That bastard killed Hung-Kin.
Just kill him right away. No need to talk so much to him.
You're just bothering us.
Yuen-Chun is really crafty.
I suppose he had told lies
and fooled these three secluded masters,
using their hands to erase other profound masters from other sects.
Go ahead to talk to him.
Thank you.
Tse Shun.
Have you made up your mind?
Tell us where the Dragon Sabre is
and we'll let you go right away.
Shing Kwan.
How dare you to talk to me again?
Godfather.
Shing Kwan, I'll make you pay one day!
You...
I'll give you three more days.
Grasp the time. Do consider my offer.
But you only have three days.
Be wise and tell us where the sabre is,
or I'll make you suffer.
Shing Kwan, you...
See you, great masters.
Godfather.
Who are you, little prick?
How dare you mess around here?
I am Chang Mo-Kei, lord of the Parseeists.
Nice to meet you, masters.
The lord of the Parseeists is Yeung Ting-Tin.
Who are you exactly?
Mr. Yeung died about 30 years ago.
Were you an acquaintance to Mr. Yeung, master?
Acquaintance? More than that.
Thanks to him, I lost one eye.
And partly because of him, the three of us have been stuck here for over 30 years.
How should I address you, master?
My dharma name is To-Ak.
These are my two fellow brothers.
The one over there is To-Ki and the other one is To-Nan.
Since Yueng Ting-Tin is dead,
we'll have to cast the old grudge on you, Mr. Chang.
Our disciples Hung-Kin and Hung-Shing
were killed by your men.
Since you've come here,
Iet's fight and settle the account.
Masters. I bear no old grudge against your sect.
This time, I came to save my godfather Mr. Tse Shun.
