Come, have a look. This is the cave
- Where's the village head? - He was here just now
He must have gone in to save the Golden Baby
- Let's go and help him - Yes
- Sir... - Sir, are you alright?
There's poison fog. Get back, everyone
Where is the Golden Baby?
lt's in the cave, surrounded by many poisonous snakes
- l couldn't find a way to save it - What should we do?
Let's just charge in and save it
No, you must not do that
There is a huge poisonous fog inside and snakes are everywhere
l almost couldn't come out lf you go in, you'll die
Sir, if the snakes kill the Golden Baby then we're going to starve to death anyway
Yes... Let's charge in
- No, calm down - You guys
Settle down
Let me help you. l'll go in
- You are... - They're just passers-by
Young lad, l'm grateful for your help
but we can't let you die for nothing on our behalf
Don't worry, with my internal strength
l should be able to withstand the poisonous fog
You shouldn't go in
Besides, your friend is hurt and needs your care
Go ahead Don't worry about me, l'll be fine
But...
l know you're a good man
lf you don't do this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life
Besides, l know you'll make it back alive
Sir, if l fail and don't come back
please take care of my friend for me
Brother Jing
lf you don't come back
l won't stay here either
You must come back, l'll wait for you
Young lad, you're doing so much for us
l don't know how to thank you l wish you all the best
Don't worry, l'll be fine
Please take care...
lt's taking him so long What's going on?
The young lad must be dead
No... Brother Jing will come back for sure
- Look, he's back - He's back
Young lad...
- lt's the Golden Baby - Yes
Young lad, you've saved our entire village
- l really don't know how to thank you - Don't mention it
- Hurry up and put it back into the sea - Let's do that
- Be careful - Golden Baby...
- Brother Jing - Rong-er
Golden Baby, please work your magic and drive the poisonous snakes away
For saving our village please accept our deepest gratitude
Please get up
lt's only right for us to do this since the both of you have been so selfless
Our benefactors, what are your names?
He's Guo Jing. l'm Huang Rong
Master Guo and Miss Huang
lf you don't find our lodgings too sparse
please stay with us for a few days and let us take care of you
Yes...
Thank you for your kindness but we have to be on our way
ls it because our village is too poor and not luxurious enough?
lndeed?
That's not what l meant We really need to be on our way
lf that's the case, let me send you off
Where are you going?
We need to see Master Yideng urgently
Master Yideng?
Sir, do you know him?
No, but l know where he lives Let me take you there
Thank you very much
- This way please - Farewell, everyone
- Farewell - Farewell
Why are you looking for Master Yideng?
We have an urgent matter
l understand
You need my teacher to help cure her
Sir, he's your teacher?
That's right. l think you should give up on the idea
because my teacher is dead
- Dead? - Yes
South Emperor Master Yideng is supposed to be a kind man
l didn't expect his disciple to be a liar
lf you won't take us there, forget it
Brother Jing, let's go
You can't go and look for him
Sir, she is the daughter of the Master of Peach Blossom lsland
and also the present Beggar Sect Leader
For the sake of Master Huang and Leader Hong
please take us to your teacher
- She's Beggar Sect Leader? - Yes
This is the Dog-beating Stick
How is Leader Hong related to you?
He's our teacher
- Did Leader Hong send you? - Yes
Then, all the more, l can't let you pass
- Why? - Don't ask so many questions
No matter what, you can't pass
You are so unreasonable
Brother Jing, don't bother with him Let's go
Sir, l'm sorry
Let's go
Brother Jing, l need water
Alright
Cutting wood, cutting wood
Don't think it's a meaningless task
All the royalties and the literates are all fools
Cutting wood...
This woodcutter is a little strange We must be careful
Mending bridges, building roads houses and ovens
Who are the literates peeping at me cutting wood?
Sir
Our country is in danger
Yet there are people with so much time to come and enjoy the scenery
Can you help our country by staying here to chop wood?
Vast mountains and ferocious waves
Miles of land run far and wide
Gaze to the West, not knowing what to do
Lament the sad history of our lands
Everything has turned to ashes
The people suffer no matter if a country falls or prospers
Wonderful
How so?
Peaceful mountains and loving clouds
Riches are no longer within sight
A simple cottage, wild flowers in bloom
Who cares if a country falls or prospers
Seek simple pleasures, a simple life
Maintain dignity regardless of poverty or prosperity
Great verses indeed
Do you wish to go up the mountain?
Yes, Sir
lf you want a drink of water you're welcome
But if you have other matters, you're not
Sir, we wish to see Emperor Duan
Then come to my place for a drink
- No, thank you. We must go - You can't
Life and death are only natural
Why try so hard to live?
We will go, no matter what
l'm sorry, sir
Can we go now?
- Rong-er, shall we rest? - Alright
Are you in pain?
lt's nothing
Don't deny it
You'll never rest if it's nothing
l'm just resting so you can rest too
- You're still so... - Sharp-tongued?
There are four disciples in total
We've only met two
l wonder when we can see Emperor Duan
The sooner the better
These four disciples are not highly skilled we can see him after defeating all of them
The fisherman and woodcutter were not too bad
but were too kind-hearted
The third is here
- How did you get up here? - We fought our way up
Your brothers were no match for us
Who are you?
- Sir, l am... - Don't bother with that
l guess you want to fight too
How are my brothers?
They're not dead
Sir, we need to see your teacher
- Why? - To heal her
Sir
Rong-er, how are you?
- l can't hold on anymore - Don't talk nonsense
Rong-er, how are you feeling?
People here are heartless and refuse to save the needy
l'm dying now. Are you happy?
l would love to help but my teacher cannot heal you
You should look elsewhere
Brother Jing, don't beg them They're not human
- l'd rather die than beg them - Rong-er
Miss...
Rong-er, you're fine?
l'm fine. You were trying to avoid hitting him the whole time
l just want to get this over with
We should go
Please hold on
How can l help you?
Have both of you come to Mount Yideng for medical assistance?
Yes. You're...
l'm just a novice in Yideng Temple
Do you wish to stop us too?
No, but there is a rule in Yideng Temple
Whoever wishes to see my teacher has to gain approval from our Big Brother
- Where is he? - lnside
- We'll go in - Wait
Our Big Brother is proud in nature He only wishes to meet people
who are cultured and intelligent
Then...
These couplets are unfinished
Please complete them or take your leave
Wind blows palm trees Buddha wields his foldable fan
That's easy
Got it
Frost freezes lotus leaves The ghost wears a scarf of abandon
Amitabha
What an impressive show of intelligence This way, please
l guess we have to complete these too
You're clever, madam
The eight kings are none too impressive
lt's getting easier to complete
lt might be easy but
l'm afraid l may offend your four brothers when l say it
My four brothers are not so narrow-minded
Please go ahead, madam
The four petty ghosts have hidden motives
l'm impressed, please come in
To come in here, you must have outstanding martial arts and literary skills
but you're just a little audacious
How so?
Meng Tzu says, ''Man and woman must respect each other and have moral conscience''
You don't look like husband and wife or brother and sister
lt's outrageous for you to hug each other like that
Meng Tzu is full of nonsense How can you trust him?
Outrageous! Meng Tzu is a great saint How dare you insult him?
Beggars do not have virtuous wives
Neighbours seldom have many chickens
Emperor Zhou was around back then
Why talks about Wei, Qi then?
Nonsense!
He's fine, he won't die
ls this...
We've passed the test Let's open the second sachet
Alright
What a strange painting What does it mean?
l only know that the one who drew this doesn't know how to draw
Two of you had come a long way How can l help you?
l'm Guo Jing, she's Huang Rong
We wish to see Master Yideng, Emperor Duan
Emperor Duan is no longer alive You've wasted yourjourney
For the sake of Hong Qigong and Peach Blossom lsland, l hope he will see us
Please show him this
- Teacher will see you now - Thank you
Please wait here, l'll make some tea
Thank you
Sirs
There is no point in bravery for ones who have failed
Even though you've made it in here you can't see my teacher
- Sir - Don't call me ''sir''
Forgive me for offending if you won't stop
This young lad has great skills indeed
Teacher...
Brother Qi has accepted a good disciple
Brother Yao's daughter isn't bad too
They've told me that both of you
surpass them in martial arts and literary skills
Congratulations to you both
Master, you're Emperor Duan?
Emperor Duan no longer exists
My religious name is Yideng
No wonder they said Emperor Duan is dead
Teacher, they've been sent by evil forces Please get them to leave
Master, Rong-er was hurt by Qiu Qianren of lron Palm Sect
We heard you're the only one who can save her
Please have mercy on us and heal her
Get up, both of you
How can you be so rude to our guests?
Teacher... he...
Fate is a strange and wonderful thing
Since they've made it up here We're fated to meet
l will save you for sure
That drawing was useful indeed
What drawing?
The drawing from Yinggu
lt's her?
Where's the drawing?
l gave it to...
Just now teacher was meditating l didn't want to disturb. Here it is
lf you hadn't mentioned it l won't get to see this
l see that someone wanted to agitate me in case l refuse to save you
l didn't expect her to still blame me now
Let's stop talking. l'll heal you now
or it will be too late
Thank you very much
Teacher, it's a trap. Don't be fooled
Don't say anymore Both of you, follow me
- Yes - Yes
Guo Jing, guard the door No one is to come in
- Not even my disciples - Yes
lf they try to come in you must fight them off
Because if l get distracted Miss Huang will be in danger
Yes sir
Miss Huang, get ready
Listen well. lf you feel any pain or irritation during the curing process
do not resist it with your 'qi'
l'll pretend l'm dead
You're very clever
Teacher...
Why are you doing this?
We want to save teacher
- Teacher, are you alright? - Rong-er...
- Teacher...
She's fine now
Rong-er
- Brother Jing - Are you alright?
l'm alright
Let her rest here for a few days She'll be fine
Master, thank you for saving me
lt's alright. Just remember never to talk about what happened here today
Teacher, slowly...
Teacher...
- Master - Master
Master, to save me
you've spent much of your energy l'll be eternally grateful
Don't mention it...
This is Nine Flower Jade Pill. Take it
Teacher
Teacher, how do you feel?
Take her to rest
Yes
My hand is too tired to move
- Teacher... - Sit down
- The pill has poison in it - Poison?
My teacher risked his life to save you and you poison him?
ls there really poison?
- Don't pretend - Hold it
lt's not their fault
lf they wanted to kill me there are many chances to do it
Even if they strike now none of you can stop them
Leave now
- We can't leave when he's like this - Stop pretending
You got teacher into this
Whenever teacher saves someone he will use up one-third of his strength
and he will be powerless for a few days
Yinggu hates my teacher and so asked you to seek him for help
- This is your evil scheme - No
No wonder you tried to stop us
Master, we have brought you harm
lt's not your fault. lt's fate
Teacher, they've poisoned you and you're still siding them?
l've told you not to be so rude to our guests
Bring me the antidote from my brother Tianzhu right now
- Yes, teacher - Hurry
- Teacher - Yes?
Someone has just sent this
Leave us
Teacher
She's here at last
- l'll fight her to my death. Let's go - Let's go
Hold it
She has tried so hard to kill me
l'll just wait for her here
Master, we got you into this
Let us help you
Both of you are so kind
Teacher, the antidote
Be careful... Teacher...
Both of you, follow me
Miss Huang
Master
l heard your father is highly skilled in
martial arts
as well as literature, music and the arts
l'm sure you've taken after your father
and are just as good
You're too kind, master
Please take a look and comment on a painting l have here
Yinggu?
Master, how would you have a drawing of Yinggu?
There are three Evils in Buddhism Greed, Anger and lgnorance
l have not been able to pass the last one
lt's hard to attain peace indeed
Master, who is Yinggu?
Yinggu... has become so violent today because of me
l have sinned
Miss Huang
You still haven't told me what you think of this painting
The painting is lifelike
Every detail is delicate
The artist must like the subject very much
and so took great pains to draw this
But there are different colour tones in it
as though it was paused and finished only after some time
Miss Huang, you have good judgment
lt's been ten years
before this drawing is finally completed
Perhaps if this drawing had been finished earlier
things would have been different
When Yinggu married me years ago
l was too engrossed in martial arts
and may have neglected her
Your Majesty
- Yes? - Wang Chongyang wishes to see you
lnvite him into our hall l'll be right there
Yes
- Greetings, Your Majesty - Please rise
Taoist Wang
- lt's been a long time - Prepare for combat!
Emperor Duan, your skills have improved immensely since we last met
And so have yours
Has Qiu Qianren been disturbing you?
Qiu Qianren is always trying to find ways to kill me
You must be careful then
Are you here to have a friendly duel with me today?
No, l've discerned a new technique recently and would like to analyse it with you
My pleasure
Sounds like fun, count me in
Are you alright?
So you weren't feigning it
This is...
- l'm Zhou Botong - lt's Brother Zhou. My apologies
Don't stand on ceremony with me
This is my brother
He wanted to come along because he's never been to the palace
Does Brother Zhou want to learn Jiuyin manual as well?
No... That's boring. Don't count me in
He doesn't have the patience Let's carry on ourselves
Alright, then Brother Zhou...
lt's alright. The palace is huge l can entertain myself by looking around
- Be my guest - Thank you
There's nothing extraordinary about the lmperial Garden
l've caught you
Who are you? How dare you catch my rabbit?
l don't talk to women
Don't run
You want to play with me?
l don't hit women
- l'm going to retaliate - l didn't say you couldn't
Are you alright?
How dare you hit me?
Didn't you say l could hit back?
My dear...
- Your Majesty - Are you alright?
You're here
How can you let such a rude person in here?
His manners are atrocious. Chase him out
My dear, Brother Zhou is just playful Don't be mad at him
What's so good about this place? l'm leaving
Botong, are you really leaving?
Of course! lt's so boring here and no fun at all
Brother Zhou
My dear, why do you have to chase our guest away?
Was l wrong?
l'm so sorry, Your Majesty
Taoist Wang
This is not a good place for martial arts Let's go to my secret chamber
Alright
That woman cannot be considered as a human being
What did you say?
- Why are you following me? - l didn't. l've been here a long time
Waiting for me?
No. Look at this
l've seen it. lt's ugly
lt's dead. You killed it
So what? l'll catch 10 more for you from the mountains
This rabbit is an expensive and rare breed
with pure, untainted fur
Can you find the same one?
Then, l can't do anything about that
Yes, you can. You must compensate me
With money? But l have no money
l am the Royal Concubine of Dali Empire Would l want money from you?
You killed it with your hands Now, l want your hands
l can't fight without my hands. No way
You just died like that?
l've never killed anyone. Please don't die
l guess l was too easy on you
Does it feel good being upside down?
lf you let me down and hang here in my place, you'll find out
l'll let you down after 10 days
l'll starve to death in 10 days
l know l can't defeat you So l have to starve you to death
and cut your hands off then
You poisonous woman You're worthless even as a prostitute
lt's death penalty for those who offend the Royal Concubine
Go on and behead me lt's better than hanging here for 10 days
l don't care, l want you to hang here for 10 days. Have fun
Let me down...
- Greetings, my Lady - Where's His Majesty?
His Majesty and Taoist Wang are in the secret chamber
My Lady, where are you going?
Are you questioning me?
l dare not, but His Majesty has instructed me not to let
anyone into the chamber
l am the Royal Concubine l will go where l please
Greetings, my Lady
- ls His Majesty in the chamber? - Yes
- My Lady - Yes?
- His Majesty says... - That no one is to enter, right?
l'm going in Let's see who dares to stop me
My Lady
- My dear - Your Majesty
You've come out
l have important matters to attend to and will stay in here for the time being
How long will you stay here for?
At least half a year
lf things are not smooth-sailing it could be one year
Your Majesty, can you not put so much time into martial arts?
Don't you know that Qiu Qianren is trying to kill me?
l have to carry on with this
My dear, one year will pass in a flash
lf you're bored, get the ladies-in-waiting to keep you company
Well? Are you having fun?
Sure! l've never had so much fun in my life!
- Don't pretend - l'm not
Don't you release me l must have my fun for 10 days
- Really? - Sure! Dangling here is great
The air is fresh and spinning around is quite fun
l'm going to release you so you can't have so much fun
Don't do it. l'm feeling great up here
Excellent! My mother said
to be hit by a man's shoe means bad luck for at least 3 years
You're going to have such bad luck How wonderful!
Why didn't l get her to release me? lt's wet and cold here
