Episode 1
According to legend, the Yi Tian Sword is a weapon of the Gods.
High Lord of the Hans, Liu Bang, used it to wipe out Western Chu and create the Han Empire.
The Qing Gang Sword is an unrivaled masterpiece.
Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, used it to make peace with Wang Lang and defeat Ren Mei.
The restoration of the Han Dynasty was credited to these two double edge swords. This was the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty,
which paid tribute by enshrining them in the ancestral temple to be viewed as the tools of the gods that protect the country.
In its final years, the Eastern Han Dynasty was a regime of social unrest.
Inside the court, each succession experienced grief due to an outsider's dictatorship and
the Eunuchs' political corruption, just waiting for a series of more chaos.
Outside the court, the Yellow Turbans were also raising fire beacons everywhere
along with local subordinate and tyrannical warlord brigades to seize an opportunity to start a rebellion.
The Great Han Dynasty Empire's situation was highly unstable.
Young Emperor,
we must leave soon. The guards cannot stall any longer.
That's right, Young Emperor. Let's hurry.
I'm already a banished emperor.
Moreover, the evil Dong Zhuo killed my mother and the rest of my family.
I don't have any remaining will to live.
But before my death, I want to authorize you two generals
to rule over the country's crises.
These two master swords are the Yi Tian Sword
and the Qing Gang sword.
The Yi Tian sword (Heavenly sword) was used by Emperor Gaozu to behead and control in the time of the Python Uprising.
Emperor Gaozu used it to oust Qin and cause Chu to lose, thus creating the Great Han Dynasty Empire.
The other, named the Qing Gang Sword
was a gift from a master when Emperor Guangwu was in a time of trouble and
thus encouraged an administrator who had given outstanding service.
These two swords are the two guardians of our country.
As long as these two swords are safe, the Han will never die!
I believe that in the end, there will come a day that the tools of the gods will again be used by a virtuous administrator to protect the country.
They will remain loyal in assisting to reign as Ming did in restoring the Han Dynasty Empire.
I no longer have the ability to keep safeguarding these.
Now I will have to give these two swords
to you generals.
Cao Cao can not stand by Dong Zhuo's savage act on the false pretext that he's carrying out the emperor's secret imperial edict.
An order is given for subordinate warlords to unite in a common effort to kill the country's traitor.
Many subordinate warlords are continuously responding to carry out this edict.
The order demands that the whole country dispatches a righteous army to lay siege to the country's traitor.
See this Imperial Order as a respected aspect that can be quickly pursued.
Today, I accept a secret Imperial Order from the Emperor to gather great patriots to eliminate the country's traitor.
I hope we can work together to restore the Han Dynasty and save the common people.
Help restore Han Dynasty! Save the common people!
Dong Zhuo, dismissed as a traitor of the country,
underwent repeated assassination attempts. Fortunately, the country's number one warrior, Lu Bu, protected him.
Who is there? Do you wish to revolt?
Bastard! Today I have to kill this bastard for everyone!
Charge!
Lu Bu
Go... find those two master weapons
and bring them to me.
Dong Zhuo, in order to expose Cao Cao, used the pretense of acting on an imperial order,
to replace the prominent Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, and have the country's state affairs
entrusted to himself.
He decided to continue on with the Yi Tian and Qing Gang swords (legend),
using these two tools of the gods meant to protect the country.
It was at this time when he realized that the two swords had been taken by Zhao An and Li Quan
to their homes back in a village in Changshan.
Look, everyone. Our Changshan's scenery is so beautiful!
Pleasant scenery makes pleasant people.
That's right. It's pleasant. It really is pleasant.
The Furong district reflects a deep, crystal pool of waves.
Both shores have bulrush reeds to reflect distance between itself and the mountain mist,
to face the wind holding a small cup suitable to manage desolation.
Drinking to lie in Changshan county. Why still endure ?
Great poem, great poem!
Brother, you and Zi Long both went to see the master together.
Why do I only see Zi Long making great poems,
but you never make any?
Although I cannot compare with Zi Long at poetry and painting,
if we're competing at catching fish, then I'm the master.
Stop bragging.
Look closely.
Stop fooling around and come out! We already know that you're good at it!
Yan Cheng?
Zi Long, that...!
It's alright.
Yan Cheng could have seen a big fish.
Who are you guys? Why are you after me?
Let me go! Let me go!
Not good. Something's happened.
I'll rescue Yan Cheng. You go and alert my father.
Walk, walk, walk quickly!
Quickly! Obediently.
Bow!
Tell us! Is there a person named Zhao An in this village?
Why are you trying to find him?
Do you know Zhao An?
At first glance, you're villains.
If you kill me, I won't tell you!
Tell us! Believe it or not, I will kill you.
Slowly. Based on the sound of his voice, he must know about Zhao An.
Come on! Go into the village!
Uncle Zhao, something bad happened!
A few mysterious men came to the village and took Liu Shen.
Zi Long asked me to tell you.
Let's go and see.
Why is it so noisy up there?
Yan Cheng! You little—!
Leader! Another lad came voluntarily.
Act according to the situation.
You owed me this much debt, too. You don't have to be like this.
You wanted to injure yourself so that I could let my guard down.
You used that last time already.
This time, I won't believe whatever you say!
You lost the bet, so you must pay the money.
You employed this many people to help you act?How much money did you spend?
Why didn't you return the money you used?
Stop!
Little brother, you were right.
He can't even repay the debt.
Then the money he used to hire us, who should we ask for that?
How should I know?
I heard he has a master named Zhao An?
Then the debt of the student must be returned by the master, right?
You must know where Zhao An lives?
In the same village, of course I know.
Okay, then you can take us to find Zhao An.
If we get the money, we'll give you a fraction of it.
Okay! You promise?
Leader! Protect the leader!
Leader! Be careful!
Leader, be careful!
Quick! Stand still!
Attack!
- Father! - Why are you here!?
I came to help!
Go!
The more you help, the more chaotic it gets.
Zi Long!
Father!
Zi Long, run away!
If you want me to go, then we'll go together!
No one can escape! Go!
Zi Long, everyone in the village has come!
Father!
Zi Long!
Master, are you okay?
Hurry, go find a physician.
No need, there was poison on the weapon.
Everyone hurry and leave.
The soldiers are almost here.
Don't think like that, Uncle Zhao.
We're all young and we all want to help you with it.
No, you cannot. It's a worthless death.
Like this, your death wouldn't accomplish anything.
Brothers, listen to my father.
Hurry and leave. I can take care of him.
Go that way.
Slowly.
Be careful, sit here.
Father, why are the palace soldiers after you?
Zi Long, there were some things that I couldn't tell you before.
You were too young. I didn't want to disclose it.
I'll tell you this time.
Zi Long! Zi Long! Zi Long!
- Mother! - Zi Long!
Is the wound bad? I brought medicine from the village.
It's no use. The hidden weapon put poison in the wound.
Father!
Quick, get the sword.
Zi Long, this sword is the Qing Gang Sword.
This is made with gold and metal.
When used properly, it has the ability to easily destroy evil. It has earth-shattering power.
So powerful! Can it slice metal like clay?
Not just that.
Combine this Qing Gang sword together with your teacher uncle's Yi Tian sword
and they are a pair of the Great Han Dynasty Gods' devices.
If the two weapons are united you can defeat anyone in the world.
Master!
Master, there's trouble...
A group of soldiers took the villagers hostage.Qing Er was among them.
What?
Father!
Quickly, go! Quickly! A bit more quickly!
Go! Go! A bit more quickly!
- What should I do?- Help me up.
Father!
This general is helping villains to do evil with his traitorous father.
He's sacrificing his life for a traitor of the country, who contributed to this shamelessly dirty business.
Perhaps you're too afraid to show your real face to the people.
Right?
Zhao An, hand over your Qing Gang Sword.
I won't make it hard for you.
The Qing Gang Sword is not something that can be owned by a scoundrel like you!
What are you doing?
Come here! Come here!
- No! - What are you doing?
Zhao An, I could let them
kill them one by one in front of you, until you hand over the Qing Gang Sword.
Kill them!
Stop!
I can give you the sword, but you need to let the villagers go first.
You have poison deep inside your body.How can a person that's about to die have the right to compromise with me?
Dong Zhou, that old traitor, doesn't just want the Qing Gang Sword, right?
If I die,
he will never find the Yi Tian sword's location.
Let the villagers go. The sword and myself will stay here!
I— I will also stay here.
Father, I'll stay here too.
Also me! I'll stay here.
Did you hear?
My wife, children, and my students will all stay here.
Can you let the villagers go now?
Let them go.
Thank you.
Zhao An, I let them go.
Where is the sword?
You dare to trick me?
I'll gave the sword to you, but you won't even be able to grasp it.
You want to die?
Father!
Go!
Don't come! Don't move! Don't move!
- Are you alright? - Father, take off his mask!
Let's see what kind of monster he is!
Since he is wearing a mask, it indicates that he has a sense of honour.
Leave him with some honor left.
Zhao An, even if you abduct me, it will be no use.
Tai Shi has summoned many groups of people. You can't escape.
Zi Long, get the sword!
Take the Qing Gang Sword and go!
- Don't come here!- I won't go!
Zi Long, since you were young I've taught you
the principle of loyalty. Have you forgotten?
The Qing Gang Sword is ours by the late Emperor's dying request.
We must protect it with our lives. Never give it up!
I understand, but—!
Get him out of here, quick!
Quick!
- I won't go!- Go!
- Be quick and go!- Father, I won't go—!
Hurry and go, Liu Sheng!
Master!
Jia! (command to get horse to move faster)
Jia!
Xin Hou Jie got kidnapped!
Everyone, quickly advance!
Yes!
Zhao An, you have the nerve to oppose Tai Shi.
- Aren't you afraid?- Shut your mouth!
I, Zhao An, will only submit to the actions of the gods!
Are you alright?
The day I die for the country has finally arrived.
Alright then, we will die together.
We will be husband and wife again in the next life.
Barricade them, quick!
Once they are properly buried, we can erect a tombstone.
After all, he was a brother to me, Xia Hou Jie.
Zi Long! Zi Long, you're awake!
Why are you here?
Where is my father?
Let's go!
Where are my parents?
Where are they?
Tell me, hurry!
Hurry, over there!
The soldiers are here! Let's go!
I have to take revenge for my parents! I have to kill these soldiers!
Let me go!
Remember the two elders' graves. We will surely be back.
- Hurry! Look over there! - Yes!
Hurry!
Zi Long! Zi Long!
You two go! Hurry!
- What about you?- Go!
- There's blood here. - Maybe a beast ate him?
Keep looking!
A tiger!
Get out of here!
He— is he trying to tell us something?
♫ In this chaotic era, ♫
♫ how does one ponder the shining reflections and shadows of the sword? ♫
♫ Fallen through the edge of the world like a wisp of smoke. ♫
♫ Being blown far away by the wind ♫
♫ Tolerating wounds no matter how painful ♫
♫ Suddenly looking back, the past has been stirring. ♫
♫Heroes can also be lonely♫
Father, Mother. Dong Zhuo, you old thief. ♫ Is it really hard to comprehend♫
I won't rest until I find you! ♫ or does one simply not want to understand?♫
♫ Allow me to continue courageously wander further and further away. ♫
♫ How will the joys of returns and ♫
Go back! ♫ the sadness of separation which only differ by a hair-width margin ♫
♫ be fulfilled? ♫
♫ Take out the sword in your hands ♫
Hurry and go! We'll be back to visit you! ♫and slice away the feelings of yearning. ♫
♫ Who can satisfy both the principles of love and loyalty? ♫
Your Shishu's name is Li Quan, or De Fu. He lives in the Ding county of Chang Shan.
He likes to travel often. Even I rarely see him. If you can find him,
make sure to tell him to stay out of Dong Zhuo's sight.
Remember, his distinguishing traits are the three scars on his back.
Great, great!
Excuse me, is there someone named Li Quan or De Fu who lives here?
Li De Fu?
I've never heard of him. You should ask someone else.
Excuse me. Do you know someone named Li Quan?
Never heard of him.
Someone as mysterious as Shishu will never
use his real name.
Maybe his name isn't even Li Quan.
What's worse is that we don't even know what Shishu looks like!
Even if he's standing right in front of us, we still won't recognize him.
That's right.
What if... we eat something first?
My stomach is growling!
How are you hungry again? Can't you just endure it?
But, Zi Long, we still can't keep blindly searching.
How's about this? Let's find a place to stay first.
When we've settled down, then we'll look for Shishu.
Remember. Don't show your skills unless it's necessary.
What do we do if someone starts picking on us?
Let's go.
Brother, make a mask for me.
Sure.
Zi Long, what's this for?
(Making of the Mask)
Mountain robbers are here!
Hand over your money! Don't run!
Don't run! Give us all your money!
Stop running! Hurry up! Go!
Just the day before yesterday, that county magistrate came. It seems like that was to kill them, too.
Isn't that right? These mountain robbers only know how to make the commoners suffer!
From an earlier time, I already heard that Hu Ya Shan mountain robbers are aggressive and cruel.
I never thought that it'd be this bad.
They're even wild enough to kill an Imperial Court officer.
Poor commoners. Living every day in fear.
Happy birthday to the Imperial Tutor.
Good!
Imperial Tutor, today is your feast.
We will present you with the guardian sword.
We hope the Imperial Tutor will enjoy it!
Good, good, good!
Imperial Tutor, you just said you were going to show us a guardian sword.
May I ask how long we're going to have to wait?
Sagong Zhang, why are you in such a rush?
- If I agreed to let you see it, then you will definitely see it.- What did you say?
The Tutor is about to present the sword, yet you don't have it here?
Now you've done it.
Godfather...
Greetings to the Imperial Tutor.
Drinking wine must be accompanied by entertainment.
The Imperial Tutor has always been interested in battle and tricks.
For the sake of the Imperial Tutor, I ask each general
to show off their talents and perform.
Whoever's skills are the best, the Imperial Tutor will award him this jade.
Great, great, great!
Well done!
Back then, the infamous Xiang Yu
could not have done it!
Thank you, Imperial Tutor, for the compliment.
Hold on!
Great, great, great!
How amazing! Strength of the Gods!
Great, great!
General Hua's military accomplishments are unmatched, almost unseen of in this world.
There is no question whom this jade belongs to.
General Mo, we bow to you in respect.
We are much below you.
- Thank you, Godfather. - Take it.
Amazing, amazing!
Wen Hou is not only my godson, but the protector of the land.
As long as I'm here, and my son Feng Xian,
the Imperial Court will prosper as the Tai Mountain.
Those rebel traitors, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao (late Han general and warlords) and the like,
They are all tiny insignificant traitors. They're not even worth mentioning.
Congratulations, Tai Shi. You have received such a mystical device to protect the country the likes of Marquis Wen.
Why worry that things won't turn out as planned? World peace is right around the corner!
Xia Hou Jie, thankfully I was early enough to prepare for today.
It was quick wit that satisfied the generals.
Or else with the Tutor's temper,
your position would have been at stake even in the best situation.
In the worst situation...
I already knew of the tutor's temper.
So, I'm secretly asking Wen Hou for a favor.
You and I have always been close.
I didn't want to watch you being punished.
How's this? If the tutor asks about this,
I'll cover for you as much as I can. You must hurry back
and find the whereabouts of the Qing Gang Sword.
Thanks, Wen Hou. When I get back, I will be sure to make a sketch
- and post it all around.- Foolish!
You're too irrational. If that lad leaves Changshan,
then it will be even harder to find him.
Wen Hou's teachings are correct.
I will hunt in secret.
I already spoke to the tutor.
To make it easy for you to find the Qing Gang and the Yi Tian Swords,
you are to live permanently in Chang Shan's county.
This is the Imperial Court's order. You can execute it today.
Wen Hou's great generosity will never be forgotten.
Faster, faster!
Stop!
Stand still!
Don't run! Stop!
Stop!
Faster!
Run!
Why aren't you running?
Run now!
Why aren't you running?
Originally, I wanted to make you my wife.
I see that you're more anxious than I am!
Let— let me go!
Okay. I'll let you go! Go!
Stand up!
Brother! Brother!
Brothers, up!
Charge!
Kill!
Let me go!
Put down the weapon! Or else I'll kill her!
Hero, we don't know each other. It's best that you leave.
Otherwise... otherwise he will definitely kill you!
Stop with the nonsense!
Leave the sword here.
Or else this girl will die!
It's just as the lady said. She and I are but strangers.
I was coincidentally passing by. If I cannot be a hero,
then I don't have to risk my life. Good-bye.
Block him! Take his sword from him!
Stand still!
Of course, unless you let the girl go first.
There is no compromise. If you don't leave your sword here,
not only will she die, don't you even think about staying alive.
No!
Hero! Get the sword!
Third Brother!
Third brother! Third brother!
Third brother is dead.
Do you know who you just killed?
It's a mountain thief.
That was our third generation chief of the Hu Ya Mountain.
Today you have made enemies with Hu Ya Shan.
If you have the guts, then tell us your name.
Iron Mask Hero.
"Subbed and Timed by the Chinese Hero Zhao Zi Long Team @ Viki Please do not reuse or reupload our subtitles."
Brothers, I, Du Jue, swear to the heavens.
I will make sure that I tear that Iron Mask Devil into shreads
and use his head to avenge my third brother!
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
Once one knows, one is still.
Once one is still, they can be silent.
Once one is silent, one can be at peace.
Once one is at peace, one can think.
Once one thinks, one can have.
Once one knows, one is still...
In order to find Shishu, I have to remain here.
Only when I find Shishu can I avenge my parents' death.
Then I'll know the murderer who killed my parents.
But, Shishu...
Why is there still no trace of you?
