According to the Jade Manual.
Costly crystals
are bright and have magical power.
Anyone who uses them for sculpture
must be very careful not to be wounded.
Otherwise, if blood
gets into the sculpture
it will turn human.
Don't read this book anymore
it'll scare you to death sooner or later.
Whatever this book says is it true?
I don't know.
That means it could be true.
Even so I'll be the first to die.
That's better.
Brother, you have used the knife the wrong way.
For best results you should use the best equipment.
A fine carving knife can make a good crystal portrait
if it was real, then it'd be beautiful like a fairy.
But it lacks spirit.
Spirit? Yes, you're right.
Are you crazy? it will turn into a spirit.
Big Brother is magnificent, he's bought his kingship.
Of late he even refuses to see me.
Poison Yama, the Prince and us
are brothers.
Why did he avoid us?
I've judged him wrongly.
Come and have a drink.
Enough.
Enough for today, we should go.
Goodbye.
See you... please.
Crystal portrait.
What's this?
Crystal.
Crystal?
Dad, the crystal taken out from Chen Qun's body
is only produced at the Jade mountain crystal cave
I hear Long Fei lives there in retirement
since he left the martial arts world
it's been rumoured that he spent five years
to carve out a Crystal portrait. He even
dripped some blood on it to turn it into a spirit.
Could that Crystal portrait be the monster.
Long Fei bears no grudge against us.
Then why did he kill our three uncles?
I think it's not that simple
I must look into the case.
Long Fei...
Where are you?
Are you really that timid?
You are really sick
playing such a prank.
What's this monster?
It's the legendary Sky Monster Bo Shium
I've read a lot of scriptures before I discovered this.
Your Crystal portrait has turned the world upside down.
And you still want to create another monster!
What are you talking about?
Do you realise...
Realise what?
That your Crystal portrait has turned into a spirit
and is killing people everywhere.
Rubbish
I'm not talking rubbish.
Poison Yama is looking for you everywhere.
What has it to do with me?
Everybody knows that you produced a crystal portrait
and dripped blood on it.
That's true, but nothing happened
it's still a crystal portrait
I've put it away.
Where did you put it?
Come, let me show you
it's gone.
Long Fei, come out.
Don't act like a coward.
What are we going to do now?
You are a big guy and you know kung fu
how come you are afraid of Yama's men?
I'm afraid of nothing
except that the crystal portrait may create trouble.
You believe what other people say.
How come the crystal portrait disappeared?
We'll find out
when we recover the portrait, right?
Master.
Here's the poisonous fluid.
Zi Juan.
Here's your poison ivy.
Good, great.
White Judge.
Squeeze the juice from these flowers and ivy.
Yes
I really don't understand, what's their use?
This is rattan.
The flowers are called "Turkic lvy"
They are produced in deserted countryside of the south.
The locals use them for brewing venom
that can speed up growth of parasites inside one's body.
This causes one's stomach to bloat resulting in death.
You'd be careful when you handle them.
Yes.
Thanks for going to the southern border for this.
Otherwise, it'd be hard to know
when the Venom could be perfected.
Rest a while.
There's something I'd like to talk to you about.
You've been surrounded by poisonous stuff all day
sooner or later you...
Dad promised me that
once I've perfected the venom
we can leave together.
The secret weapon is made, please have a look.
Tell my dad
I'll present him the venom by tomorrow.
Help, Master.
Master, please don't.
Help, Master.
Please don't, Master.
Black Judge, White Judge.
Yes.
Give the Venom to my dad.
Yes.
Looks like this venom
is good enough to fight against the crystal portrait.
More terrible than Long Fei's crystal portrait
are in fact the people behind it.
Kill those two men for me.
"Poison Yama and his son"
Crystal portrait.
Young master...
Oh, my love!
Crystal portrait.
Young master...
You two go and kill Long Fei
I'll go for Big Brother.
"Prince Jin's Residence"
Your Majesty, have some tea please.
We are old friends
no need to stand on such ceremony.
You've drugged my men
with the poisonous gas.
Have you got anything to say to me?
Crystal portrait.
Crystal portrait?
Li He and Chen Qun are dead.
Cui Bai Hai is dead too.
And my son's also killed by the Crystal portrait.
Once there were five of us
who fought side by side with you.
But now they have died one by one
I want to know why.
Do you suspect me?
The tools aren't required once the target is achieved.
Successful rulers are known to kill loyal ministers.
With the power I have, I needn't
wait till now to kill you.
You've done nothing wrong to me
and I haven't treated you badly.
Do you think I'm still afraid of
letting other people know that you've assisted me?
During all these years since I became a prince
I have lived comfortably.
How would I get involved in matters
of the martial arts world again?
It's so full of treachery
and a person of my status...
"Make a quick retreat before crisis"
So it's really not you?
You've lost a son,
but I've lost 4 brothers who
lived and died with me
if you don't believe me, just do it.
Once I press this button
you'll be poisoned and die immediately
if I can prove my innocence
it's worth dying.
Brothers never suspect each other.
Unexpectedly, Crystal portrait...
I must return to the martial world to avenge my brothers.
Matters in the martial arts world
should be dealt with by martial artists like me
I won't return if I fail to veto the Crystal portrait.
She's fainted.
Crystal portrait.
Although we've changed to travel by water
this isn't a good way to avoid
being chased by the Poison Yama.
No clue at all.
How can we find the crystal portrait?
That's right, it's not easy
if someone wants to put the blame on me.
Everything will be clear if we can find it.
Do you think it's done by "Bi Luo Fu"
the assassin group well-known in the martial arts world.
They think of ways
to put the blame on you.
Why do they want to do that?
Who knows?
Boatman, will it rain soon?
It'll be raining soon.
Then pull the blinds down.
This kind of weather is so annoying.
Fatty, something's wrong.
What?
The boat seems lighter.
Lighter?
Where's the boatman?
Right.
Boatman...
Look.
Long Fei, what's that?
I don't know.
What'll happen if it hits the boat?
Can you swim?
No, how about you?
I can't either.
What are we going to do?
Run.
Fatty.
They've escaped again.
Who do you think is responsible for this?
It could be Poison Yama's men.
This Crystal portrait has put me in big trouble
if I find you
we'll have a meal. Long Fei...
You care only about women, you're a bit too much.
You don't care about your old friends and flirt around.
No, this lady was poisoned
I'm just trying to rescue her.
Brother, you are in great trouble now.
You must find the Crystal portrait to settle the score.
Poison Yama will be here anytime to kill you
yet you care about these things
I can't let her die.
You can't even save yourself now, forget it.
You're right, she'll die if you don't save her.
You are right.
Never mind her, let's go.
No.
Although this may not be the right medicine
it'll sustain her till we reach Wu Fu lnn.
Are you tired?
Tired? Do I look like I'm tired?
You don't look so now.
Look, it seems I'm younger than you are.
Miss, I'm seventeen years old
I'm eighteen.
You are a year older than he is
I haven't finished yet
I said I started in the martial arts world at 17.
Now I'm 27
I'm 9 years older than you are.
Nine is a good sign
it's nothing even if you've to push for another 9 miles.
Of course, I'm not afraid of hardship
it's nothing even if I've to push for another 90 miles.
Waiter, where are they gone?
Come and serve us.
We've been here for half a day
no one has come to serve us at all.
Don't make me angry.
There you are, are you in business?
You thought this were the only inn here.
This is the only inn 400 miles around.
Exclusive business; no wonder they're so arrogant.
Do you think we have no money?
Open your eyes and look.
He looks like a wooden dummy.
Pour the tea now
if I keep pushing this way,
wonder if I'd be alive by the time we reach Wu Fu lnn.
Miss, what's your name?
Don't tell him.
Let's talk about it tonight at the Wu Fu lnn.
"Wu Fu lnn"
This is the Wu Fu lnn.
Here we are.
Sir, this way please.
Miss, please.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Please...
We'd better not stay here.
Find another one.
Still have to push?
It looks dirty.
Dirty?
Miss has high regard for you, keep pushing.
Didn't you just say you want to stay at the Wu Fu lnn?
This is the only inn 400 miles around.
Another 400 miles would kill me definitely.
Miss, be more accommodating
I don't want to stay here.
You don't like it.
Didn't you say you know women well?
You must think this place is too noisy.
No Sir, no one lives here.
No one? That means something is bad in here.
You are right.
Let's go.
Don't be rash, follow them.
Stop.
Stop in here?
This is it.
What? This one?
Since I was born
and now I am 37 years old
I have never stayed in such a place
I've never travelled such a long journey in my life.
Not realising that he's 10 years older now.
Don't grow old any further.
Go and knock the door.
What? Me again?
Go on.
Alright, whatever you say.
Anybody home? it's empty.
So many spider webs.
This is not bad.
That's right.
One good thing about this place is
it's free.
Who says so?
Excuse me, Madam.
Damn you, I'm not yet married
I'm sorry, Miss.
That's better.
This guy
likes woman of any age.
Don't be fooled by him.
Miss, it's just a small token.
Okay.
You've good taste, and are efficient too
lt'd be disastrous if I walked slower.
Being the second every time.
What are you doing at this late hour?
So sneaky, you must be up to something bad.
No, no, I'm afraid she feels cold
so I've brought her some clothes
I'm cold too, cover me
it's warmer now.
Fatty... are you alright?
She...
There's an exit here.
You want to drag me in trouble again, no way
I can't refuse this time.
Hurry.
Follow me.
Let's go. You've left the map to him
if he's sincere, he'll come to see you.
Come, let's go.
Pal, be gentle.
Feel my forehead, am I having a fever?
No.
Then I'm alert
and won't talk nonsense.
You, it's hard to say.
You are prejudiced against me.
You won't believe what I say.
Then say it.
Yesterday night
I clearly saw that woman.
Show a little respect, what woman.
Not yet your woman.
Why do I say that.
Talking nonsense again.
Where am I?
You said that
that woman is the Crystal portrait.
You are confused
I might be confused for other things
but not with women
I saw very clearly
that woman turned into the Crystal portrait
it can't be.
What?
You don't believe me
I didn't say that.
That means you believe me.
Did that woman leave behind
a map of the Du Residence for you?
What about it?
Let's follow the map and look for her.
No such thing as
free lunch in this world nowadays.
There's something odd about it.
You worry too much
it says on the map that
one must be wounded before going in for treatment.
All kinds of wounds can be treated there.
We can pretend to be wounded.
You or I?
Needless to say, you of course.
Me?
You wouldn't look like it at all.
Never mind, let me do it.
My stomach is so painful.
You're a lousy actor.
For stomachache you should be touching your stomach.
How come you are touching your ass
it'll be more real if I slept on the wooden cart.
Do you think I don't know your tricks.
You want me to push you on the cart, don't you?
If it were a woman on the cart, you'll jump on it.
Always women come first.
You or me?
Goodbye.
What an idiot, falling into other people's trap.
You dare harass women in broad daylight.
That's a serious crime.
You can't scare me.
Pay me or I'll take you to court.
Do you know what I do?
Even if you were a constable.
Do you know officials have great power?
Yes.
Then who will benefit in getting inside?
L.
You know the law & you break; you're dead, pay at once.
You're quite ferocious!
Ferocious? Let me show you something.
You want to fight? See?
Fatty, you're trapped.
Not so easily
I'll wait for you at the restaurant.
Order a pot of wine for me, I won't be long.
That guy has gone.
You got a helper.
Doesn't matter how many you've got.
Go, are you afraid?
Yes.
Don't forget me.
You tried to cheat me, not that easy.
Not too late to apologize
or I'll beat you up.
Really?
"He's in Phantom island, exchange him for the map"
Phantom lsland?
"Phantom lsland"
Want to get out of the Phantom lsland? Dreaming, huh?
Seems like I've been here before
it's still hot, don't waste it.
Don't shout.
Who are you?
Are you alright?
Where are we going?
Du Residence.
Du Residence?
The map mentions that once you get inside Du Residence
all your wounds will be healed.
Now you don't have to pretend.
We can go straight to look for the Crystal portrait.
You're right.
You're lucky. When I saw you
you were holding a sheepskin map.
Could this be a token!
Only those with this map
can enter the Du Residence; if not
anyone who goes within 3 miles of it
will not be able to get out alive.
You're here to save this person
I want to look for someone too.
Who?
Crystal.
Crystal...
I'm sorry
I'm only a door keeper, go in yourself
I've to deal with 2 intruders.
Master is waiting for you in the main hall.
Your master is...
You'll know when you go in
if you trust me
leave your friend behind
for treatment.
Thank you. May I have your name?
My name is Jade.
Sorry to trouble for you
Jade?
Once it moves, it will cause rainstorm and thundering.
Even the Sun and the moon reside in Bi Luo Fu.
What are you looking at?
So the Du Residence is the
notorious assassin organization "Bi Luo Fu"
How should I greet you?
You can call me Du Sha.
Du Sha?
Give me your map
it'll be of no use to you now.
Stay here for a few days until your friend recuperates.
But there's one thing you should bear in mind.
What's that?
Men of great curiosity are not welcome here.
There were a few more questions I was going to ask you
but now that you've said this.
Do you want to know who's the real master
of "Bi Luo Fu"?
That's correct
it's said that the master of "Bi Luo Fu" is Tian Di.
And you?
I'm just someone
carrying out the orders of Tian Di.
Then I want to know if my crystal portrait
is with you here?
Why are you using my crystal portrait
to kill people
and put the blame on me?
Crystal portrait is dead.
Don't ask me anymore.
Pearl, take him down.
Don't expect to get any information from Pearl.
You may go now.
Master Long, that room has already been tidied up
please have some rest.
This place is huge.
Apart from you girls
who else is here?
Sir, have some tea
ls Crystal your sister?
Crystal, Sister Crystal.
You two go out and have some rest.
Two dummies
Jade, who's having breakfast so early?
Is it Du Sha?
It's your friend.
How's he doing?
Getting better
I want to see him.
You'd better not.
Why?
You are too curious.
Our Madam said that
men of great curiosity are not welcome here.
Maybe from now on
I ought to suppress my curiosity.
Could you?
You are an honest man.
Honest men may be disadvantaged
In fact, many things are
better left unknown.
The more you know the more troublesome it becomes.
You are right, no doubt
it's not good
to have something on one's mind.
What is it?
Where's Crystal? Is she really dead?
Jade, come over
Iron sand?
Did Crystal use to live here?
Du Sha sealed the place after Crystal died.
From these signs
it appears that she died bearing great pain.
Yes, indeed.
Since she was poisoned
she persisted in neutralising the poison.
But the poison remained;
And when it hit her again
she died in 3 days.
Du Residence could cure many sicknesses.
Crystal was very important to Du Sha.
Why didn't Du Sha save her?
Only the medicinal powder
could neutralise the Venom.
Du Sha was injured internally.
She'll have an attack of disease once over-exhausted
and then she needs to take these.
That's why Du Sha kept the medicine for herself
and not Crystal.
The medicine is very precious
and only a few tablets are left.
Too selfish.
Crystal, are you human or a spirit?
What does it matter?
What if I'm not human?
That night
why didn't you go with us?
I had given you too much trouble already
I was worried, I didn't realise you'd...
Why be happy if alive, and what's to be sad if dead.
You're still young and shouldn't be so pessimistic.
You should leave the Du Residence quickly.
Why?
Look, the moon is so beautiful
it's a pity that after tonight
the moon wouldn't be so bright and beautiful
it would be stained with blood.
But a sanguine moon might be beautiful too.
However, no one would be around
to appreciate it
I should go now.
Crystal.
Would you like if I give you the moon?
Give it to me.
What are you doing here?
I came in accidentally
I wanted to bring you here to have a look.
Here is...
This is the place for training Crystal portrait.
These are morons.
So far I've just seen two who are intelligent
and can survive the training.
One is Crystal and the other is you.
What do you think I am?
Your sculpture
I didn't realise you are also a sculptor
I could also put your soul in it.
You want to make me a moron?
Not with your intelligence
I will not be your killing machine
I will turn you into another crystal portrait.
Hurry, tie him up
I thought you were deadly
but you are a sick ghost.
Not only that
you are also a thief.
You stole my portrait and put the blame on me too.
You've been using such brutal ways
to create Crystal portraits.
Crystal is wounded, and you don't save her.
How vicious could you be?
Turn on the machine.
"Du residence"
Fatty, you never learn.
You can still flirt with women at this time.
How can you eat such things?
Pull her away, Fatty, hurry.
Fatty, go.
Don't go...
Fatty, are you mad.
Have you become an idiot?
Wake up...
Let's go.
Fatty, stay calm, I'm Long Fei.
Stay calm.
Hurry and go
it's risky.
Let's go.
Fatty, I'm Long Fei, look.
Wake up, Fatty...
Don't go up there.
Fatty, are you alright? Fatty.
Fatty, Fatty.
Fatty...
What a deadly tune of the King of Hell.
Unfortunately, you can't get away with it.
You're doomed to die here
I bear no grudge against you
why did you kill my brother
you didn't spare my son either.
Someone offered me a good price
that's why I dared to do it.
Who's paying you to kill us?
Speak
if not, I'll level your place.
How stupid can you be!
The one who wants to kill you
is your brother, the Prince.
You mean you are instructed by the prince?
Why did he do that? Could it be...
He went back on his word
I was right, he's vicious.
There's no point crying now
Jade, bring the medicine.
Here's the medicine.
Where's the medicine?
I don't know.
Only you and I know about the medicine in this jar
I don't know, I really don't know.
Pearl...
The only kinsman I have is dead.
She is...
She is my sister.
Why did your sister commit suicide?
They were beyond themselves.
They all listened to the instructions of Du Sha.
Du Sha has once ordered Pearl
to turn on the machine if anything happened to her
and let go of all the pigeons
and drink the poison wine.
Du Sha is so vicious.
She died and wouldn't let others live.
To an idiot, this is a kind of liberation.
Du Sha ordered to turn on the machine after she died
Is she trying to destroy the Du Residence
and everything related to the Crystal portrait?
To whom is the pigeon carrying the message?
To Tian Di.
When the pigeon flies out, Tian Di will come.
Tian Di.
That's right, he's the husband of Du Sha.
The real master of Du Residence.
You'd better leave
before he comes back.
What about you?
While the world is big, I have nowhere to go.
Do you think I'd leave you behind?
Besides, I haven't found Crystal.
Don't touch the crystal portrait.
With the increase in weight, the machine will turn on.
Machine, Iron sand, weight.
What's going on here?
Poison Yama attacked us and was killed by master.
The master was unfortunately killed by the Venom.
Where's Crystal?
10 days ago, Crystal failed to assassinate Poison Yama
and was instead poisoned by the Venom.
She died when she returned.
You were saying that Crystal was poisoned by the Venom.
Do you know anyone poisoned by the Venom
would die with burst intestines?
After Crystal died, Master examined her body
and confirmed that she was poisoned by the Venom.
You are sly, but you have forgotten one thing.
You thought you could find a body and
pose that as Crystal
then there would be no evidence.
You killed Du Sha.
You've been the keeper of this medicine.
This medicine can cure Du Sha's internal wounds and
is also an antidote for all kinds of poison.
Even the Venom
could not have killed Du Sha.
Where's Crystal?
Crystal, you...
This is a mask made of crystal.
Put it on, looks intriguing
it's used to distract the enemies.
But now, it's
no use to me anymore.
How are you related to Du Sha?
I'm her foster daughter.
She has a lot of foster daughters like me.
But, they didn't pass through her training
and became idiots; all except me
I always thought that she loved me.
But when I was wounded
I was in great pain
and she refused to use the medicine to rescue me
if Jade hadn't stolen the medicine for me
I would have died
Jade is really a good girl.
Of the 37 most cruel tortures,
death by cutting flesh is the most painful and slowest.
Where's Crystal? Speak.
Bring the knife over.
Wait, tighten the net.
Cut her flesh off
...piece by piece.
This net has altogether 490 holes.
That is to say, there should be 490 pieces of flesh
if they were stewed
even the four of us won't be able to finish them.
This is just the first piece.
Two, three, four, speak or not?
This girl is so tough.
Every girl wants to look pretty.
Why not start from her face?
The four of you bully a girl.
You're too cruel.
Crystal.
Crystal, bring her back first.
What about you?
I'll go and find him.
Tian Di?
Yes.
Tian Di is an expert in kung fu, be careful
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Crystal has told me about
all that you've done.
Quite surprising that a prince who looks so kind
should be a killer of his own brother.
The tools aren't required once the target is achieved.
Without despotism, how could there be truth.
Great men do great things.
Prince, what you do among yourselves
is your business.
But why did you steal my crystal portrait
and lead me to come here?
When I sent Crystal to kill them
you had just completed your crystal portrait.
As a matter of convenience I used this to frame you.
But Crystal failed and was wounded
and spoiled my plan.
That's why I had to lead you to come.
On one hand I don't want people to find out
on the other hand, you possess the quality
of becoming a Crystal portrait.
Prince, you are really good
at this treacherous plan.
You want to turn me into another Crystal portrait
and become your tool in killing people, no way.
Poison Yama was killed by Du Sha.
To me
you're simply worthless now.
All you know is how to use other people.
You're not even affected by your wife's death.
You are so heartless
I can fail the world, but no one can fail me.
These are the words from the bottom of your heart
I originally wanted to let you go;
unfortunately, you know too much
