Grand Tutor
These four?
Grand Tutor, they lost the royal standard They are going to be executed
Reverends, please wait here
You are just stupid
How could you lose my royal standard?
Your Highness, what is it?
These useless fools lost my royal standard
Your Highness, please don't be angry l have got it back
Grand Tutor you are just marvelous
l seem to have one arm less when you are not round
Your Highness, you are too kind
Your Highness, l have a request
Just say it
Could you spare them their lives?
No, they lost the royal standard They should be executed
Your Highness, the royal standard was stolen by Chow Pak-tung
They didn't know about it...
Even if they had known it beforehand
They still could not have stopped him
That Old Mischief again
Grand Tutor, a country of such grandeur
How can l not conquer it?
That's why Your Highness spent so many years preparing for this invasion
But one mistake and we are stuck
Your Highness, you have everything thought up
You ordered me to take the leadership of the martial world
But l failed you
Grand Tutor, you have done your best
There are just too many talents in the mainland
Like that Chow Pak-tung, he is so elusive
Old Mischief doesn't have a brain
He can be dealt with
l am not worried about him
l am worried about Kwok Ching in Xiangyang
lt is not so easy to take Xiangyang and our advance is stalled
Your Highness, have you heard of the saying
Use the barbarians to contain the barbarians
lt is the Han people's policy of turning one foreign tribe on another
We can borrow it
And use established martial arts force to contain other martial arts talents
You mean Quanzhen School?
Yes, Quanzhen School is powerful with a huge following
lf the school comes to our side
The martial world will split
But Kwok Ching has a special relationship with that school
He is practically a disciple
Quanzhen Seven are all patriotic
l don't think we can control them
Now we have a good chance
l have the two leading second generation disciples with me
They seem to need my help
And they can be our pawns?
Your Highness, Chiu Chi-king is already our pawn
Good, we use Quanzhen School to take on the martial world
All right, it is all my fault
Now l have known about it You want to kill me to silence me?
Where are you going?
l am going to see her l have to explain to her
You want to get killed?
lt is better than what l am
When l see her l just think l deserve to die
But if you are dead You can't see her again
Say that again and l will kill you
Amitabha, Taoism and Buddhism are two different schools
But we both pursue eternal life
Who in flesh and blood doesn't make mistakes?
Abbot...
So Reverend Wan, you are agonized by the mistake you committed
l don't know what mistake you have committed and l don't want to know
Abbot, thank you for your concern
Brother-in-arms Wan, we are guests here
l don't want to stay either
Reverend Wan, l wonder if we have the honour
l come here on His Highness' behalf
He invites you two to stay for a few days
Our pleasure, Abbot
l have a story in my mind
l wonder if you care to hear the story of Buddha making up for his mistake
Actually our founder was a precedent
Grand Master Chungyeung made a mistake too
He had wronged Lam Chiu-yang
He was different, it happened before he became a Taoist monk
And he was a frank and open man
Unlike me, l am a shameless scum
Please excuse me
Let me see you out
Why don't you let Dragon Girl finish him off
lf he dies, my chance of becoming abbot will be even more remote
Because you have a bad name Or you have too many enemies?
No, because my uncles-in-arms are not impartial
What if l finish Dragon Girl off?
Then l can use this secret to control Wan Chi-ping
But Quanzhen School is not that friendly to Mongolia
Because the old men are too stubborn only
But if you are in power...
Zhongnan Mountain is in Mongolian jurisdiction
Chungyeung Monastery of course has to abide by Mongolian rule
All right, l will kill Dragon Girl for you
How stupid, why not steal the royal standard tonight?
Over there
Grand Uncle-in-arms
What about a full moon?
Amitabha
Baldy, isn't it cool?
Excuse me, let us settle it some other day
l really am sorry, lass lt didn't occur to me you are here
Hey, can you teach me how to sleep on a rope without falling down?
l saved you, you should teach me for return, hey...
We were this close And that old rascal ruined it again
Don't worry, he won't stick around her forever
But Abbot, he means to learn the rope sleeping trick from her
He won't go if she doesn't teach him
Wait till he comes to steal the royal standard tomorrow night
Then everything will be solved
How come you can be so dour And so unresponsive?
lf you don't teach me how to sleep on rope l won't play with you
l am mad now and l am leaving
l really am leaving
You are worse than that shrew Wong Yung
She has a sharp tongue but she plays along
You seem to be mute
Who wants to play with you?
l can skip the play part
You teach me how to sleep on rope and l will go
l will never play with you again
l beg you, come on
Whatever it is in your mind, you say it Let me handle it for you
Then we can have fun together
l got it, you keep looking at the two Taoists
They must have bullied you
l got it right the first time
That's easy, let me catch them for you
Hey...
Don't you look like a rice dumpling now?
Or a crab?
Neither actually, you look like a bundle
Pity you are still useful
Now that you look so pitiable l should set you free
But don't worry l only borrow you for a while
You will be all right in no time
And will always be all right l promise you
l am back
Wan Chi-ping?
l got him back
You can do whatever you want with him
But before you punish him
Let me show you my masterpiece
My handwriting not bad?
He angered you, you can do whatever you like with him
You want me show you how?
l don't want to see him
Let me break his legs for you No!
You tell him to go
How troublesome you are
This is not right, that is not right
What really do you want?
What do l want? What do l want?
l always say women are just troublesome
You are lucky this time Don't be naughty again, just go
Hey...don't go, you have not taught me yet
l have followed you for so long
Can't you give me some response?
Cute, cute, now you have to play with me
Hey, give it back to me
lt is not yours, how did you get it?
Of course it is mine
You took the thunder ball from my hand Of course it is mine
Thunder ball?
Sure it is, its full name is the llluminating, Out-of-the-Blue, Thunder Ball
lt took me 49 days to find it in the Fiery Mountain
lt was not possible, l gave it to Gor
Gor? Gor who?
Gor is Gor, why should l tell you?
l mean what is his full name?
He...why should l tell you?
He is Yeung Gor?
How did you know?
l got it now, you stole it from him
Of course not, he gave it to me l can swear
All right, go ahead
l Chow Pak-tung now swear lf l stole the Thunder Ball from Yeung Gor
Let me be hit with shit, all right?
Bird dropping?
So you really stole it
You listen to me, this was what happened...
That day l felt hungry, so l stole a fish...
That's what happened
And he gave me the Thunder Ball
Have you seen him since? No
Oh yes, they call me the Old Mischief
Yeung Gor is a young version of me
l should have taken him as disciple How stupid of me
He sure is like you Yes
He is playful, but when he is tender He is very nice
He cares about me, and is good to me
He does everything for me
How corny
He sure doesn't like me in this aspect
l am scared of women, they give me creeps
Then why are you following me?
You are different You are pretty and beautiful
And you don't talk much, don't scold much
You can sleep on a rope
Every body likes you
Really?
Do you think Gor will like me?
Of course, l fear women and l like you
Of course h will like you
What if he likes another woman?
He won't
Look at you, you are sweet and smooth
Even the blind likes you when he sees you
Gor can't be an exception
How can the blind see?
Right...
Gor, l wont' be able to see you anymore
How come? You are not blind
Oh yes, l have to steal the royal standard
Are you coming?
No?
Then l gotta go
You just stay here
You have to teach me sleeping on a rope when l come back
See you
lf love is true, there is no regret
So long we can see one another
Love runs like water
And l am more fortunate that the wild swan
Alone in the world
lf love is true, we fear no separation
Love is impervious to shifting changes
Who would renounce love?
Love is like the wild swan
Mountains are no obstacles
Love is like the morning dew A moment can be eternity
lf love is strong, it will never fade
Separation is hard, reunion is remote
Love keeps the heart ablaze
lf love is true There is no need for remorse
What is lost can be found
Our love still glows
lt soars like the wild swan
lt overcomes sorrows and separations
Cheers Cheers...
l wonder if Your Reverend is used to our wine
Your Highness, it goes down well
My late father once told me
Your Uncle-in-arms Yau Chu-kei has enjoyed this wine in his trip to the west
He might have said the same thing
lt goes down well
So allow me to say
Your brother-in-arms Wan Chi-ping is inferior in talent and perception
When compares with his shifu
Brother-in-arms Wan is a bit weird in character
And he is not in good mood lately
That's why he couldn't come
Your Highness please forgive him
l see that he is not only inferior to his shifu in talent and perception
He can't compare with you either
You are too kind
Grand Tutor is perceptive
My toast to you, Reverend Chiu
Cheers! Cheers!
Grand Tutor, what about your date with Elder Chow?
l think it is about time
You don't mean to use my royal standard as prop?
Your Highness, be rest assured
l have something to discuss with Reverend Chiu
Should l leave you to yourselves?
lt will be too presumptuous of me
Reverend Chiu, care to go out for a walk?
Sure!
l never thought that His Highness can be so easy-going
Not just easy-going, he is very perceptive
That's why he can tell you will make a better abbot than Reverend Wan
Really?
So l want to give you a chance to distinguish yourself
Let me ask you, who is the highest in status in Quanzhen School
lt should be Grand Uncle-in-arms Chow Pak-tung
Right, Ma Kok, Yau Chu-kei and Wong Chu-yat call him Uncle-in-arms
lf he backs you up How can Wan Chi-ping fight you?
Right, but how can you make him help me?
He is coming to steal the royal standard tonight
And?
The royal standard is hidden under the statue outside the barracks
That means even if he turns the barracks upside down
He won't be able to find it
And he will be hopping mad
He will take losing to me as a humiliation
Right, he is childish in temper He is a poor loser
Then you show up and take him to the standard
You help him win He will see you as his saviour
Then l demand his support
Now go after him and grab the chance
Be rest assured Grabbing chance is my forte
Kubla
Assassin, assassin, get the assassin
How come only the rod is here Where is the standard?
lt must that baldy
l am so mad
Assassin, assassin, assassin in side hall
So that baldy wants to play catching thief with me
Fine
Assassin here
Over there, go get him, come on
Come here...assassin here
You blind?
You are not the assassin
Grand Tutor gave the words that you would come for the royal standard
Then who is the assassin?
Your Highness
Get him Yes
Come on
Over there....
So you are back Who is it?
Shifu? lt is you
l am right about you after all
My disciple finally knows how to play catching the thief
Catching the thief?
You are the thief or the soldier?
Shifu, l don't understand
Assassin is thief, are you the assassin?
Yes, l am the assassin
But it is not a game, it is for real
For real?
Yes, my father and brother used to be senior officials of Mongolia
That l knew, you don't have to tell me
But l have to start from the beginning to make you understand
Start from the beginning? Then you won't finish till morning
No, you tell me in one or two sentences
All right, two or three
Yes, my father and brother used to be senior officials of Mongolia
They have done great works for the court
But they have thus incurred the distrust of Khan
So we moved down south to avoid court intrigue
But fourth prince Kublai sees us as his enemies
He ordered the extermination of my whole family
My sister and l managed to fight our way out
But my father and brother...
What a pity l don't have a father to avenge
Or l can assassinate that Mongolian with you
Shifu, l am sorry
But l have a way
Your vengeance is my vengeance
We can avenge it together
Now let us kill that Mongolian
Shifu, now that Kublai is alerted
lf you gojust like that
lf something happens to you, then l...
Nonsense, what nonsense
You mean l am not their par?
How ridiculous
That's not what l mean
You really piss me off
The more l think about it The more pissed off l become
When you were seven You shaved your neighbour's sheep
l thought you were like me
But you grew up to be the opposite of me
You are more like my brother Kwok Ching Exactly like him
Shifu, l am sorry
Since l am not free tonight
You go to Xiangyang to look for my brother
He is killing Mongolians there
You help him kill a few as substitutes
And kill that Kublai later
Yes, l am going now
But he doesn't know me
l've got a way, you just go ahead
l will write him a letter later
You can go now
l am going Just go
Shifu, when will we meet again?
Don't tell others you are my disciple
Just go Yes
Stinking Gold Wheel, bastard Gold Wheel
What kind of hero are you?
You can only hide like a turtle
l dare you to come out
See which get the royal standard first
Stinking Gold Wheel, bastard Gold Wheel
How underhanded of you to hide the standard
All right, let me burn the barracks down
See where you can hide it
Grand Uncle-in-Arms, you can't do it
Why?
You don't know, they have buried dynamites here
lf you set fire, you will blow yourself up
What a close call
What is your name?
Chiu Chi-king
l will put in a few good words for you
When l see those Taoists
Grand Uncle-in-arms, thank you
And more, l have risked my life to find out a secret
What secret?
Gold Wheel Abbot has hid the royal standard away
But l finally found out where it is
Come with me, let us get it
No, we don't
lf l can't find it, l just lose
But if you tell me, it is a disgrace
All right, let me join in the race
See who finds it first
That's different, see who finds it first
What? The royal standard is under the statue?
Let me get it first
But l can beat you to it
Lass, lass, l found the royal standard
You have done it before
lt is pretty, let me show you
l fooled him that there was dynamite
And l helped him got the standard
He will come out to thank me
Chow Pak-tung
Grand Uncle-in-Arms...Miss Dragon...
You all right? Grand Uncle-in-Arms...
Chow Pak-tung... Grand Uncle-in-Arms
You cheated me, you traitor
l...Grand Uncle-in-Arms... Don't call me
You tell Yau Chu-kei, ask him to kill you
You all right? Chow Pak-tung...
Abbot, you have put me in deep water
He isn't dead yet?
Dragon Girl inside too She is here?
Even if Grand Uncle-in-arms is dead
lf Dragon Girl spreads it out
lt wouldn't be enough even if l had ten lives
No wonder Quanzhen Five won't make you abbot
Your grand uncle-in-arms now has Rainbow Spider venom
Even l don't have the antidote
One more hour and he will be dead
With only Dragon Girl left inside l can handle her easily
Right
Gold Wheel Abbot
Chow Pak-tung
What bit me? lt hurts
You are not dead yet?
Not entirely, but almost there
Old Mischief, have you got the royal standard?
What about our bet for today?
You won, so what?
Stinking monk You put a venomous spider there
How wicked
He can still speak so loudly
Chiu Chi-king, why are you still here?
Go to Yau Chu-kei and let him kill you
Abbot
Reverend Chiu is very capable
Our prince means to ask Khan to make him Quanzhen Abbot
What? l am so pissed
Chow Pak-tung...
Gold Wheel Abbot, how shameful you are
You couldn't beat him and used a venomous spider instead
Give me the antidote
Helping others is our duty
And saving a life is the highest grace
The antidote is here, come and get it
Abbot, how is it?
He won't last long
Chow Pak-tung...
Abbot, is Grand Uncle-in-Arms dead?
He took Dragon Girl's Jade Bee Needle for me
Poison plus poison, he can't live
Chow Pak-tung, l didn't mean to hit you
Don't you blame me for it
lt hurts, what bit me?
You are not dead?
Not totally dead But not exactly alive either
lt is unbearable
lt is good you are still alive
That monk is wicked, l can't beat him
Bloody baldy he couldn't wait to see me dead
He hit me with these needles
lt was not him, it was me You?
l didn't aim at you, l threw them at him
But he used you as a shield
He used me as a human shield
The needles have poison on them
You take this royal jelly lt is the antidote
But l felt good when you hit me with the needles
Why don't you give me some more?
You kidding?
Come on, just do it
l won't force you to take the royal jelly
Even that ugly spider couldn't kill you
You must be immune to all poisons
Just prick me
Abbot, he really won't...
Miss Dragon, let me borrow your weapon
Why don't you carry on with your needles?
Wait till l get my strength back l will break his head
l have no more left, all gone
That's tough, you are not his par
What if he barges in?
Abbot, this is our chance
Who will be so stupid as to reveal his weakness
lt is not that easy to lure me in
Abbot, now we... Wait
Daybreak now
You all right?
Still bad, very poor
Abbot, what if he really can force the poison out by inner force?
Let me
No, it is venomous
Come out, l dare you to come out
Bloody baldy, how wicked We won't fall for it
All right, prepare to be starved to death
