- Help! - Quiet! I'll kill you!
Heaven Sword!
- It's Heaven Sword. - It sure is!
How'd he get Miejue's well-guarded Sword?
- It's a lady. - A lady?
Her mannerisms reveal her disguise.
Chief, is she behind the harm to various Sects?
Let's find out how she got the Sword.
[ Green Willow Manor ]
We admire your benevolence and righteousness.
Welcome. Please enter.
They lured us here.
Chief, be on guard.
If we don't go in, our doubts will remain.
Have we met?
You're heroes of our time, held in high regard.
We should offer hospitality as you pass by.
How may I address you?
My Master is Miss Min.
Miss Min?
Chief. She's not hiding her gender. Be wary.
Revealing her disguise shows sincerity.
Fine. Please lead the way.
This way please.
Here, please.
It's an honour to have friends at Green Willow Manor.
Chief Zhang, Left Envoy Yang, Bat King, please.
Miss, you know us well to recite our names.
Chief Zhang's kungfu at Bright Peak astounded the Wulin.
I wouldn't be ignorant of such a big event.
Please...
You've journeyed far. Have refreshments.
Please...
This is Nu Zhen Chan wine from Shaoxing.
It's 18 years old.
Try its taste.
Swordsmen must be on constant guard,
especially with strangers.
I'm most sincere.
I want us to get acquainted.
It's a fine brew, isn't it?
Don't stand on ceremony.
Miss Zhao, we're grateful for your hospitality.
I have a question for you, but it may be awkward.
Chief Zhang, you're too polite.
"Within the ocean's bounds, everybody is a Brother."
If I'm worthy, consider me your friend.
Speak your mind.
I'll get to the point.
How did you get Heaven Sword?
You all eyed this Sword since we met today.
May I know why?
This sword belongs to
E-Mei Priestess Miejue.
Many Ming members died under this sword.
Even I almost died from its stab in my chest.
Your kungfu is superb.
I heard you snatched the Sword with Qiankun Skill.
How an average E-Mei disciple stabbed you with the Sword
really baffles me.
I was attacked suddenly, and failed to react in time.
That Zhou Zhiruo, the lady who injured you, is a beauty,
isn't she?
Miss is teasing me.
A toast in return.
Your health!
Excuse me. I'll change clothes.
Make yourselves at home.
Come with me.
This narcissus has a refreshing fragrance.
It's a rare species.
Miss Zhao just left Heaven Sword here.
Bat King.
I'm just looking.
Aren't you curious too?
What's wrong?
Why's it so light?
Eh? It's wood?
It smells like sandalwood.
Why's her sword a fake?
This lady knew us, and may bear ill-will.
In case of danger, we should leave.
She won't take on three of us.
Since entering, I felt strange.
It doesn't feel quite right.
Even with my experience, I can't pinpoint it.
We've no reason to stay.
I sense nothing odd.
The wine isn't poisoned, we didn't eat.
There's no problem.
And Chief came for Heaven Sword.
Leaving is giving up.
I'm sure she'll look for us again.
Right. There's no need to seek a new burden.
Let's get the picture clear before we proceed.
Chief Zhang...
Please thank Miss Zhao. We have business to attend to.
Please bid farewell yourself.
Chief Zhang, leaving already?
We've other business.
We'll visit again.
I'll be waiting for you.
Left Envoy Yang, you fussed over nothing.
I doubt she has ill will.
She was playing a joke on Chief with that wood sword.
I have a hunch something is amiss.
After the battle at Bright Peak, the famous Left Envoy
got over-cautious!
Bat King,
what's wrong?
Nothing. Maybe it's the wine.
I'm a bit dizzy.
But I only had a small cup.
I should be alright...
Bat King...
However ill you feel,
don't channel your Qi
or the poison will be incurable.
We were so careful. How'd we get poisoned?
I told you
I'd be waiting for you.
Miss Zhao, I need some plants.
Thanks for the antidote. I take my leave.
Master Zhang, is this Qiankun Skill?
It's nothing special.
You play dirty.
If I'd tapped your Sun acupoint
when taking your hairpin,
you'd be dead.
If you like it, take it.
No need to snatch.
Have it back!
You're a thief!
Why's that?
You stole two big pearls from this.
Rubbish! I've no time.
See?
Two pearls missing, right?
I didn't take them.
There's one explanation.
You took them to set me up.
Zhang WuJi!
I dare you to come within three steps.
I won't. If you reckon I'm a coward...
say what you like.
Alright. Blame my bad luck.
How do I answer to Teacher?
Chief Zhang, let me die!
'rabbit-rose-up-falcon-fall-down'
'Gecko Roaming the Wall'
Hey! That steel panel has 8 thick steel bars.
You're suspended in midair.
Despite your power, you can't push it up.
- Scold me! - You...
My fake suicide trapped you.
You must be fuming.
You must be thinking I'm sly and despicable.
Chief Zhang, these walls are pure steel.
They're smooth, with no crevices.
Your Gecko Wall Roaming is impressive.
You're in this trap too. What's so funny?
This girl is very crafty.
This trap must have another way out.
- What are you doing? - I fear you'll slip out.
If you want to live,
open the trap door!
Why fret?
You won't die of hunger.
When my men find me missing, they'll release us.
But it's bad if they think
I went outside the Manor.
Isn't there a mechanism to open it?
Why'd a smart man ask a dumb question?
This trap isn't for fun. It's for enemies.
Why'd there be a way out?
Rest. Be patient.
No. While I'm trapped, my friends are dying.
If you don't let me out, I'll kill you!
Fine, kill me!
- You won't get out. - You...!
Men and women must keep their distance.
I detest you!
What's your name?
I won't tell you. Bad person!
I forbid you to say that!
You're a bad person!
Bad person!
Hit me! I don't fear you!
I detest you!
Ming Sect did you no wrong.
Why'd you plan our deaths?
There are things you don't know.
Since you asked, I'll explain. Who am I?
You won't know unless I...
No! I can't wait for your story.
I'm curious, but listening would put
Yang and Wei in grave danger.
And how'd I know if your story is genuine?
If you blabber nonsense, my time is wasted.
I'm left with no choice.
I'll force you to call for help.
Exerting a little force will take your life.
Call for help!
There's no one to call.
And it's soundproof.
No one can hear me.
Still won't give in?
Alright, you try shouting.
You're bullying me!
I'm not.
I only want to get out.
I didn't say I won't help.
Alright, I'll shout.
Men! I'm trapped here!
Open the door!
See? It's useless.
You're shameless! Crying and laughing.
You're shameless, bullying a weak lady.
Weak lady? You're more crafty
than ten men together!
Thanks for the praise. I can't accept it.
You...!
Zhang WuJi, what are you doing?
To save lives, I must abandon etiquette.
Zhang WuJi, behave yourself!
Let me go!
Bubbling Spring acupoint
It's itchy! I detest you! Let go!
Zhang WuJi, let go! I detest you!
Zhang WuJi, you hooligan!
Let go! I can't take it!
I'll hack you to pieces one day!
Let me go! Let me go...
Spare me! Spare me...
Let me go, Zhang WuJi...
Master Zhang, Chief Zhang...
Will you let me out?
I will...
Put on my shoes and socks.
Will you let me out now?
Miss Zhao, I had no choice
but I apologize for my offence.
Miss Zhao, I take my leave.
- Brother WuJi. - Young Master.
Orders from Mistress. Troops, retreat!
Mistress sent this keepsake.
May we meet again.
Here. Water.
Why'd you come?
We waited in vain for your return.
Sister Buhui feared you were in trouble.
The troops were about to kill them.
That vicious Zhao Min.
Brother WuJi, who's that?
Green Willows Manor mistress plotted our deaths.
We're fine. Thank you, Chief.
Father.
I'm unsure how we got poisoned despite caution.
Miss Zhao used a clever method.
This is Drunken Fairy Lotus,
a rare non-toxic species.
The fake Sword is fragrant pangolin wood.
It's non-toxic.
The two fragrances together create poison.
I shouldn't have touched the sword!
It was a deliberate plot.
If you hadn't taken it out, someone else would have.
It was unavoidable.
Look!
She expected us to burn the manor
once we purged the poison.
She beat us to it.
She's a formidable enemy.
- Sister Buhui. - Brother WuJi.
Please rally Hero Yin.
What's the matter?
He hasn't eaten for a day.
He won't talk to me
nor open his eyes.
Look.
Sixth Uncle, Buhui said...
Answer a question honestly.
Yes, I will.
Can I hope my broken limbs will heal?
You promised to be honest.
There is.
I don't believe you...
You're lying. No. You're comforting me.
If it's true, Third Senior wouldn't be bedridden.
I don't want to be like him.
A life without dignity, dependent on others' mercy...
I don't want such a life!
Sixth Uncle...
Kill me. As my nephew,
you should listen. Quickly!
Sixth Uncle, listen to me.
Kill me. Quickly kill me! I'm better off dead.
A dead man has no worries.
Quick, kill me!
Kill me. Quick, kill me.
In affairs of the heart, I'm already wounded.
And now...life is meaningless.
WuJi, I beg you, kill me.
Relieve me of my misery.
Spare me a world of tragedy.
Heiyu (Black Jade) Paste!
I read the Medical Classic of Hu QingNiu of Butterfly Valley.
There's a Shaolin skill in the Western Region
to break joints beyond recovery.
Only Heiyu (Black Jade) Paste can heal the joints.
But to make this medicine,
the recipe is unknown.
Sixth Uncle, trust me.
What I'm saying is true.
WuJi, go to Shaolin for the Hei...
Heiyu Paste.
WuJi, you've given me hope.
Don't disappoint me, alright?
I won't, Sixth Uncle.
Even if I must beg,
I'll get it from Reverend KongWen.
Sixth Uncle, don't worry.
I'm going to my room.
Brother WuJi.
Is there really a Black Jade Paste?
It's in Hu Qingniu's records.
Whether Shaolin has it,
I can't guarantee.
But you...
I promised Sixth Uncle. I'll do my best to get it.
Buhui, I must thank you.
Why?
Taking care of Uncle.
Mom often mentioned Hero Yin.
She felt she'd wronged him.
Whenever she mentioned him, she cried.
Maybe I got a liking for Hero Yin then.
I should make amends for Mom.
I can't explain it.
I'll see if Hero Yin will eat.
Master, you're back.
I'll pour you tea.
XiaoZhao, don't do servants' chores.
I'm serving you of my own free will.
What's inside it?
I didn't dare open it, in case it's lethal.
Zhao Min is scheming. Better to be safe.
Go behind me.
What a beautiful hairpin.
I took it from Zhao Min's hair.
She put the two pearls back.
I don't understand her intentions.
Master, she's so nice to you.
She sent you a valuable gift.
I'm a man.
Why'd I want this hairpin?
XiaoZhao, you have it.
I can't. It signifies her fondness for you.
How could I take it?
XiaoZhao, what are you saying? Take it.
Master...
Can't I give you a gift?
Alright. Thank you, Master.
Care to chat?
About what?
What's burdening your heart?
You really...
What's the matter?
You really read my thoughts.
On the way to Mt WuDang with my parents, I was kidnapped.
At that time, I met a little girl.
It was Zhao Min?
I can't be sure.
Who ordered the retreat of the troops?
Zhao Min.
It could be the same person.
She's not ordinary.
She has a superior air, like a royal.
She commands imperial troops.
But why's she hounding me?
I've too many doubts I can't resolve.
Doubts?
When we were locked up in the cellar,
Zhao Min didn't ask how I knew about the poison,
or how I knew about the antidote.
Unless she knew me well, how'd she preempt my every move?
Thinking of it sends chills down my spine.
Master, don't dwell on it.
You'll surely meet Zhao Min again.
Clarify your doubts then.
That's the only way.
Zhang WuJi!
It's itchy!
I detest you, Zhang WuJi!
He actually used such a method!
Put on my shoes and socks.
Vile! He actually...touched my...
So shameful! Why didn't I slap him hard?
I forbid you to say that!
You're a bad person!
Bad person!
Maybe it was since then that I...
I can't get distracted.
I promised Father to quell rebellion.
Ming Sect is its roots. I can't go soft.
Chief...
Come quickly. They're quarrelling.
What are you saying?
They're quarrelling fiercely.
Who is?
Yang Xiao and his daughter Yang Buhui.
You're angry because I touched on your heartache!
Enough!
Father, face it.
Avoidance won't help.
I'm saying this because you're my dad.
You haven't felt good these past years.
You stole someone's beloved.
It was mutual love.
So why didn't Mom stay with you?
- Because... - Because she was engaged
to Hero Yin already.
She chose to raise me on her own.
She named you Buhui to prove
she didn't regret loving me.
Father!
Chief.
Brother WuJi.
I heard from Bat King you were arguing.
Chief, put in a good word.
We go to Shaolin tomorrow.
Hero Yin's disability hampers us.
I suggested he stay here, with two people.
We'll fetch him afterwards.
But Buhui insists on staying with him...
Let me say it.
I want to make amends for Mom and Dad's sin.
Family matters must be settled internally.
I'm off to bed.
Family issues are knotty. But, Envoy Yang,
I'll tell you what I think.
Our Shaolin trip is risky.
The smaller the number, the less danger.
I planned for XiaoZhao,
Buhui and Sixth Uncle to stay behind.
As for Buhui making amends for her parents...
no-one can oppose her filial piety.
Left Envoy Yang...
As you say, Chief.
Alright, let's go.
Master, be careful.
Father.
I'm sorry about last night.
Please don't be angry with me.
[ Shaolin Monastery ]
Chief, the gate is open. Shall we announce ourselves...
Chief.
I sat here with Grand Teacher,
enduring the weather changes,
for 3 days and nights.
Shaolin wouldn't open the gate.
I miss Grand Teacher.
Chief.
Reverend KongWen invited me to come. Let's go in.
Chief, a fight likely took place here.
Look around for a Shaolin disciple.
Yes.
Let's go in.
Seems it was a fierce battle.
There are more than 1000 Shaolin disciples.
They're all gone?
Zhang WuJi of Ming Sect seeks to visit Reverend KongWen.
It's odd no-one's in sight.
Maybe casualties were high.
I wonder...which Sect is capable of this?
Chief...
The 18 arhats in Luohan Hall seem to have been moved.
Something's amiss.
Let's take a look.
Chief.
I see nothing unusual about the arhats.
They've been shifted. But there's no secret passage.
Strange.
Chief, there's a character.
What's this character?
The engraving looks fresh.
There may be a character behind every arhat.
That's right.
Turn each arhat around.
"Extinguish Shaolin, then WuDang"
"Ming Sect will rule the Wulin"
Chief, let's erase the words
and not be the scapegoat.
The enemy is vicious. Erasing them may be pointless.
What happens when we're blamed for this Shaolin calamity?
Since the engraver framed us
so that the Wulin will gather to attack us,
why don't the 16 characters face outwards?
That's right. I see now.
Someone else turned the arhats around.
Someone helped our Sect. Who'd it be?
There's only...
Chief.
"Extinguish Shaolin, then WuDang"
WuDang is facing danger.
Who are you?
An ambush on the road to Mt WuDang means
they're preventing aid to WuDang.
Chief, go. I'll counter them.
Bat King, take care.
Don't worry. I'm a blessed old bat.
I must go back...
You can't move.
WuDang's in trouble. I must go back.
You shouldn't move.
I'm a useless cripple!
WuDang is in trouble, yet I
can't help. I'm so useless!
Don't be like this.
You can't move about.
Don't do this.
I'm as good as dead.
I beg you, just kill me, ok?
Hero Yin, don't be upset.
Never give up on yourself.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of you.
Brother WuJi promised to get Heiyu Paste
to cure your joints.
Hold onto hope, alright?
Hero Yin, rest assured.
Brother WuJi will do his utmost.
And Dad sent a letter to Bright Peak.
He's taking men to WuDang to meet up with Chief.
Don't worry, WuDang will be fine.
- Miss Yang. - Call me Buhui.
Buhui, do me a favour.
Name it.
Take me back to WuDang.
As a WuDang disciple, I must die with them.
Alright.
A monk? Is he from Shaolin?
Why is he alone?
Halt!
Who's visiting WuDang so late?
KongXiang of Shaolin. I must see Venerable Zhang.
I see. It's Reverend Kong.
This way.
