Episode 8
We agreed a sword fight but you played a trick
You said you were from Hua Shan. You don't know Extreme?
Watch out, Yuan
A kung fu master
You should know Hua Shan's swordsmanship
lt's Bone Maggot
Right
You are defeated, aren't you?
Forget it
l don't want them to call me uncle
l don't want Hua Shan's pupils
to be used by villains,
to hurt others without reason
Go away
Are you alright, senior Mei?
Let's go
Shadowless will have nightmares
about being pointed by a sword
His name is Sword Shadow in future
Merciful Buddha
Mr Min made a promise
You won't go back on your word, will you?
l'm no match for you. l admit defeat
l won't take revenge on Jiao Gongli
But you said l was used by villain
Why am l a villain?
You got me wrong
You are not the villain
Brothers Taibai instigated you, right?
Brothers Taibai? lmpossible
Where are they?
Where are they?...
Where are they?
Oh no! They ran away
To my surprise the lad is a kung fu master
Mei Jianhe was no match for him
We should have succeeded
He was an unexpected rival
We had bad luck
Your rival is Yuan Chengzhi
Who are you?
You are ignorance
You won't know me even if l tell you my name
Let me tell you
l taught Yuan Chengzhi some kung fu
Stop
The chess game is almost over
What's the hurry?
Run
Boss
We have searched the neighborhood
We haven't found Brothers Taibai
Don't worry, Mr Yuan
Gold Dragon's men are all over Nanjing
We will find them
Painted their portraits, Wany
Send them to 4 gates
Catch Brothers Taibai if anyone see them
Yes
Look for them now
Yes
Boss Jiao, l invited them to come here
You can't treat them like this
lt...
Why don't you see, Mr Min?
Move
Are you looking for Brothers Taibai?
No brothers, just 2 dogs. Move
Move
On your knees
Taoist, l kowtow to you
Get up...
l haven't seen you for a few days
Your kung fu has improved a lot
Thank you
This is Taoist Mu Sang
The superior of lron Sword
Merciful Buddha
1 3 years ago, we met in Tai Lake's Meeting
Are you well, Taoist?
Why did you come to Nanjing?
l love playing chess besides food
l never involve in people's business
Or else l won't be a chess expect
But l heard some news last month
Someone collaborated with Qing's army
They schemed to do something big in Nanjing
l couldn't stand by and watch
l came here
l didn't expect to catch the bastards
Collaborated with Qing's army?
Did you mean Brothers Taibai?
l did
These shameless dogs
They are my friends, Taoist
They wouldn't do anything traitorous
Don't wrong them
l bear them no grudge
Why would l wrong them?
They collaborated with Qing's army
l saw them outside Shanhai Pass
Could l be wrong?
Have you any proof?
Proof?
Taoist
Read it, Mr Min
A secret letter from Qing to Brothers Taibai
Please read it
They are Qing army's minions
You villains made me suffer
A wise man submits to circumstances
Qing army will enter the gate soon
This will be Qing's world
Give in your submission now
You will be founders of the state. lf...
Shut up
They did all kinds of evil, Taoist
Kill them now
They must have accomplices, chief Zheng
We must find out the truth
l was wrong...
lf Mr Yuan hadn't come to mediate
l wouldn't have known
the villains' scheme
My crime is unpardonable
Don't do this, Mr Min
The villains are the instigators
Luckily, the mist has cleared
Out of blows friendship grows
We are good friends now
l'm ashamed to stay in kung fu world, Mr Jiao
lf you need me,
send a letter to Xiandou Shan
l will help you at all costs
Goodbye
Take them away
Yes
Move
Let me go. You are insensible
You will regret it someday
The truth has come out. Goodbye
Master Shili, chief Zheng, goodbye
Goodbye
Let's go
lt was rash of my junior Sun
to cut off Mr Luo's arm. l'm sorry
Hero Yuan
We are in kung fu world
We live a risky life
Liru lost an arm
lt was bad luck
We will stay here for a few days
Here is a suggestion
l will practice some sword-play with Luo
Thank you
Gold Dragon is grateful to you
Hero Golden Snake has saved my life twice
l can't repay him
Mr Xia, please tell your father
l will pray for him every morning
My dad is dead
What?
When did he die?
lt's a long story
We will talk about it next time
Luckily, Taoist Mu Sang came
lf you hadn't caught Brothers Taibai,
we would have been in big trouble
l got the biggest credit this time
You can praise me
but you can't dismiss me, lad
lt's easy
l will burn some incense and wash my hands
l will play a game of chess with you
One game? lt's not enough
Ten games at least
We will have 1 0 games
Who was that fearless?
How dare he kill officer Ma Shiying's nephew
Officers are looking for the murderer
They caught every stranger
Look
lnformant will have 1 00 taels of silver in reward
No peace in Nanjing
Right...no peace
What happened? He was fearless
How dare he kill officer Ma's nephew
He was fearless in the extreme
Who is it?
l'm coming...
Mas...
This is superior Mu Sang. Our friend
There is trouble
Ma Shiying's nephew was killed
His body has just been found
We knew about it yesterday
Yesterday?
Go on
The city is in chaos
The authority has reinforcements
They blocked the gates. They are searching every house
To avoid getting into trouble
Don't get out if you can
Of course
When the officers investigate the house,
stay away from them
l will do the talking
Dad...Captain Zhao is here
Captain Zhao Boss Jiao
We haven't met for some days
l'm here for business
Something important
Mr Ma is dead
Which Mr Ma?
Why did you have to ask?
Ma Jin, official Ma Shiying's nephew
Ma Jin?
Who did he offend?
You don't know?
Captain Zhao
Gold Dragon is always law-abiding
l swear it
We have nothing to do with Ma Jin's death
lt is a mere formality that l came
Since you said no
Of course l believe you. Sorry to bother you
Get captain Zhao some rewards, Wany
Thank you. Goodbye
Goodbye
After you, captain Zhao After you
Have some tea, Yuan
Why are you in a trance?
l'm thinking
How can l let Taoist Mu win?
You want to lose?
You should want to win
Win? l could beat him 3 years ago
Don't be a boaster
He is an expert
l don't want him to know l let him win
He praised himself. You praised yourself
We'll know the truth when you play
l'm glad you didn't see it
l made a wrong move
lf you had put it on the second row
l would have been in trouble
A wrong move
Your skill in playing chess is better
l'm no match for you
The girl is insensible
She didn't serve us tea
You know Green is a girl?
l saw you 2 days ago
l wanted to know your kung fu and personality
so l didn't let you see me
You 2 had tea, enjoyed music, fought and killed by Qinhuai River
You were casual and elegant
Taoist
lt's not easy to be a kung fu master
but it's more difficult to be an honorable man
You did no evil when you were alone
You behaved yourself when you were with her
l think she is devoted to you
What?
Taoist
You can't escape
You will never survive
Check
What happened, senior?
They said Mr Ma is dead
Officers are searching everywhere
Officers have been here?
We gave them some money. They left
lt was a close call
All of us were armed
lt would have been difficult to explain if they had seen us
Right. The business is settled
Why don't we dismiss our men?
We will do as you said
Didn't Mei and Sun come back?
They are not in their rooms. They must have left
We wronged Jiao. They were humiliated because of us
When l think about it
l let them down
Your turn, Chengzhi
You lost
Open the door
Coming...
What took you so long?
Officer
Whose house is this?
lt's mine. l'm Zhang Jihu
What can l do for you, officer?
We are here to catch suspects
Who are they?
My relatives
Relatives? Come with us
Didn't you hear me?
Take them back to Yamen
Officers...they are my relatives
Take them
Officer
Wait
Captain Zhao, you are here?
Miss Jiao
What a coincidence. We meet again so soon
Miss Jiao, they...
They are my dad's friends
Mr Jiao's friends
Did you have any misunderstandings?
No...
Officers must be tired, captain Zhao
Their drinks are on me
Thank you, Miss Jiao. Goodbye
Let's go
Goodbye, officers
Are you alright?
Luckily, you came in time
Or else we would have been in trouble
They are searching the city
My dad worried about you
He asked you to stay with us for a few days
To lie low
Sure
We don't want to trouble you
We will be quite safe here
They were dismissed by you, weren't they?
They may come back tomorrow
lf they come again,
they will be noisy. How can Taoist play chess?
My journey will be wasted if l can't play chess
Since boss Jiao and Wany are sincere,
let's move now
Okay
Miss Wany Miss Wany, welcome
This house is outside my house
lt's an annex
There is a wall between the two houses
lt's quiet and comfortable
You can stay here
Sorry to trouble you
We haven't finished our game yet
Unpack your things. l will set the chessboard
Okay
Please come in
l have found you at last
Mr Min
Miss Jiao
Let me have your things
l couldn't find you, Mr Yuan
l asked boss Jiao
He told me you moved here
Please accept the deed of Dagongfang
How can l accept?
Take it
You are a man. You keep your promise
You will be humiliated if we don't take it
Green
You are right, Mr Xia
lf you hadn't helped us,
Xiandou's reputation would have been ruined
lf you need me in future,
l will be at your service
Goodbye
Min corrected his mistakes. He is honorable
He is indiscreet
He believed Brothers Taibai's instigation
Brothers Taibai
Are you going to tell me not?
l will show no mercy if you don't talk
You are snared by your own sin
You wanted to be traitors
Don't you worry you will bring disgrace to your family?
Tell me your scheme
Did they talk?
No
A scholar can't reason with an officer
A hero can't reason with an villain
Let me do it
You?
Green
l thought they were tough
lt only took a moment to settle them
Did they tell you?
Of course. They told me everything
They did? What did they say?
They will meet a spy Hong Ocean
Hong Ocean?
He is from Bohai. His weapon is a blade
Bohai?
Do they know his look?
Brothers Taibai haven't met him before
They said his eyes are huge
Big eyes can be a feature?
Chengzhi
Do you think my move was careless?
The move has a name
l will go to Tibet in a few days
The trip is unpredictable
Why will you go to Tibet? lt's a long way
l go there for something
l want to find my teacher's relic
lt doesn't matter if l can find it or not
but if someone finds it,
it will be bad
Like playing chess, initiative is vital
lf l lose the initiative, l will lose the game
lt is a serious matter
Who is your enemy?
l'm ashamed to tell you he is my junior
Your junior?
Our sect is unlucky to have an evil pupil
l don't want to talk about the details
l will go with you
No...You can't help me with this matter
Tibet is a dangerous place
but l have no choice. l will survive in peril
Where is Brothers Taibai?
Hong Ocean, you have come
How did you know my name?
Have we met before?
Brothers Taibai were right
You have huge eyes
Brothers Taibai?
Where did you hide them?
Okay...
Don't be a nuisance, traitor. We are playing chess
You...
What is your scheme?
Are you alright, Yuan?
l heard noise
Are you alright?
They tried to save Brothers Taibai
They made a mistake to come here
Please take them away, Wany
Yes
Take them
Yes
Take him
Let him stay, Miss Jiao. l have some questions for him
Goodbye, Mr Yuan
lt is murderous
This move will save me
You can't kill me
lt is a close game
You went deep into the place alone
Survive in peril
l will lose 5 pieces
Have you finished talking?
What do you want?
Fine...
l will go out tomorrow and back in the afternoon
l will teach you how to play chess then
What do you say?
Everyone knows the chess game is your trip to Tibet
lf l had won all your pieces,
it would have been a bad omen, right?
Why do l want to go to Tibet?
To punish your sect's bad pupil, right?
You are teachable...
You are teachable
Goodbye, Taoist
Free me
Why did you come to Nanjing?
What are Brothers Taibai and you plotting?
Let me warn you. Don't play trick
Prince Duoergun of Qing ordered us
to instigate Xiandou to destroy Gold Dragon
Then our army can control Nanjing
No, l mean Qing's army
We will help them when they enter the gate
That's all?
lt's easier said than done
lt's a surprise Brothers Taibai failed their first task
l wanted to find out what happened
But...
Brothers Taibai are betrayers, villains
You are an honorable man
How can you be like them?
l'm ashamed l did it
l brought disgrace on my ancestors
But...l was pursued by 2 enemies
l couldn't stay in mainland
so l went to eastern Liao and be a spy
Who are your enemies?
They are from a decent sect in kung fu world
But...they are unreasonable and ruthless
What sect are they from?
lf they are unreasonable,
l will help you talk to them
They are...from Hua Shan
Mrs Gui and Sun zhongjun
What? Sun Zhongjun?
You know her?
We fought her yesterday
Are they in Nanjing?
Those women are ruthless
They will do anything
Be careful, mister
Why do they want to kill you?
Get up and tell me
Get up
Mrs Gui had a son when she was in her forties
Her son has been sick from birth
Because she fought when she was pregnant
and the baby was hurt,
her son has been very sick from birth
Only thousand years old Tuckahoe
and tuber of knotweed
Or
thousand years old ginseng and gyrophora
can cure him
The Guis had a son in their forties
They valued their son more than themselves
They have searched high and low for the cure for months
My sect, Bohai is a gang of pirates
Once we robbed a ship
We took a 500 years old ginseng
Mrs Gui sent her pupil Sun Zhongjun to buy it
But when we told her we wanted 5,000 taels of silver
She said the price was too high
My senior thought Sun was pretty
He said if she married him
he would give her the ginseng as a gift
Your senior was in trouble
You are right
Sun didn't agree
She cut both my senior's ears
l was furious
l and my gang subdued her
l wanted to force her to marry my senior
But...when Mrs Gui knew about it
She saved her before the wedding
She was ruthless
She killed my senior
and 37 men of my gang
Luckily, l was spared because l ran away
But...they wanted to annihilate us
l was pursued over a month
l ran from Shandong to Hebei then Liao
l reached an impasse
l sought shelter from Prince Duoergun
They annihilated Bohai sect
They were ruthless
l think you were wrong in the first place
lt was a personal enmity
How could you be a traitor and help Qing?
l had no choice
lf you help me take revenge,
l will do anything for you
Revenge?
Don't even think about it
Sun Zhongjun's kung fu is so-so
But my senior's wife...
What senior's wife?
Mrs Gui is Gui Tree's wife
Gui Tree is my senior
You are from Hua Shan?
Please spare me my life, hero
Please be generous. Spare me
Why do l want to kill you?
You are a Hua Shan's pupils
You won't kill me?
Don't worry
My brother don't do indiscriminate killing
Really?
Let me ask you something
Will you turn over a new leaf?
l'm in this situation not by choice
Please give me some advice
Stay with me and be my aide
lf you swear to turn over a new leaf,
l will plead with senior Gui for you
Thank you, hero, benefactor
Good
Good moves
Good
The Lone Arm moves are awesome
Liru, you lost an arm
but you gained a brilliant skill
lt was a blessing in disguise
Thank your teacher now, Liru
Do it now
Thank you for teaching me the skill, teacher
Luo
We are in the same generation. Don't call me teacher
And Lone Arm moves
are in superior Xia's Snake handbook
l taught you for him
Thank you
Mr Yuan and Mr Xia helped Gold Dragon a lot
l can never repay you
l will burn some incense everyday
And pray for your health
Burn incense everyday
lt will be too much work for you, Wany
l should do it
You are a kung fu master, Mr Yuan
Mr Xia is smart and clever
You complement each other
You won't have many rivals in kung fu world
Thank you for your blessing
l said the truth
What a beautiful bracelet
Take it if you like it, Mr Xia
l can't
You are my family's benefactor
lt's nothing. Here you are
Thank you
l will buy something for you next time
Let's go, Green
Goodbye, Mr Jiao
Goodbye Goodbye
Goodbye
You are a big girl now, Wany
How could you be that insensible?
Why did you hold hands with Mr Xia?
You shouldn't have given him your bracelet
Didn't you know, dad?
Mr Xia is a girl
A girl?
What do you mean?
Think, dad
Mr Xia walked and talked like a girl
And l found her ears were pierced when l first saw her
She had taken her ear rings off
No wonder l thought Mr Xia odd
He is a she
Look at this
Let's go over there
Okay
lt is a beautiful umbrella
lt is good
Nice?
What do you think?
No
How much?
1 5 taels of silver
What? The price is too high
Any discount?
Don't buy it if you can't afford it
l like the bracelet, senior
l will pay you 20 taels of silver
We will take it. Here you are
l chose it first
You didn't pay for it. lt's not yours
Right, senior?
A good price for a good thing
Don't disgrace yourself if you can't afford it
Let's go...
l will pay you 25 taels
l will pay you 30 taels
35 taels
50 taels
1 00 taels
1 50 taels
Sold. lt's yours
Don't worry
They are Hua Shan's heroes
They always keep their word
And heroine Sun's family is very rich
She can buy hundreds of bracelets let alone one
Right, Ocean?
Ocean
Don't call me...
Hong Ocean Coming...
Hong Ocean?
No, l'm not...
Stop
l will kill you
Get out of the way...
Stop
Close the door now...
Where can you go?
l will kill you today, Hong
Stop it
Brother
You are in league together
Good. Let's settle the old score today
What happened, Green?
She is a bully
Do you mess with me on purpose, Yuan?
You always interfere in my business. Why?
Why do you want to kill them?
Bohai humiliated my junior. They are Hua Shan's enemies
Xia protected him
We can't let them off
Mr Yuan...
Bohai was wrong in the first place
but you killed tens of them
Should Hua Shan's pupils do anything that ruthless?
Leave the past aside
l must kill Hong today
Mind your own business
You will end like this sword if you make a move
You are outrageous, lad
Teachers
Seniors
We don't deserve it
He bullied me, teacher
He broke the sword you gave me
l made a mistake. Please forgive me
l heard teacher took a pupil
ls he the one?
He is rude
l haven't heard about it
Knowledge is infinite. There is always someone more skilled
How can you be a bully
l can discipline my pupils
Don't trouble yourself
Yes...l'm sorry
You broke my sword. Do you respect your superiors?
Even if teacher favors you,
can you be rude to senior?
Hong Ocean is here, teacher
The villain is here?
What capital offence did l commit?
Why do you want to kill me?
Are you reasonable?
You know what you did
You...l...
Seniors
Bohai was wrong in the first place
but it was not a capital offence
Are you lecturing me?
Teachers
He said Golden Snake backed him up
He hit senior Mei
He didn't respect you
Monster Golden Snake is still alive?
You shrew are insulting
How dare you talk to me like this? Who are you?
He is Golden Snake's son
What a kung fu master
Please forgive me, seniors
Golden Snake was kind to me
Please spare him, seniors
Don't call us seniors
l'm afraid we are not that lucky
We will wait for you in the banyan forest at midnight tomorrow
We'll see if you are Hua Shan's pupil
Let's go
They didn't fight us because they were outnumbered
She wanted to fight you alone
He used Hua Shan's kung fu
You think he is your junior
l don't think so
Zhongjun and Jianhe helped Xiandou fight Gold Dragon
He stopped them
The lowlife Hong Ocean bullied Zhongjun
He protected him
No one opposes his own sect, right?
Teacher is right. He learnt Golden Snake's kung fu
All of them are evil moves
l think he is Golden Snake's pupil
He stole Hua Shan's kung fu
He is a fraud
l will test his strength tomorrow night
Even if he is your junior,
he doesn't respect you
He is disrespectful and outrageous
We should teach him a lesson
We will know the truth tomorrow night
Why hasn't Jon made a sound?
He is fine
Jon ate the 500 years old ginseng
but he made no progress
lt can't cure him
but it can prolong his life by a few months
We have more time to find healers and panaceas
We have a lot of friends
We will find a way
l hope so
Why are you here?
ls Taoist back?
No
What are you doing here? Waiting for me?
Don't go to the banyan forest
l promised. How can l not go?
You are from the same sect
You can't fight because of me, an outsider
What should l do?
Here is a suggestion
l will leave Nanjing tonight. l will be off to distant parts
When your senior knows you are not related to me,
he won't fight you
Off to distant parts?
lf they find you, they won't spare you
He is worried that
you will be reconciled with your senior
You may sell him to your senior
lf he makes a wrong bet,
he may lose his life
Am l right?
What do you take me for?
l know you are a good man, Mr Yuan
But...l am only a thief
How can l be on a par with your senior?
Let me tell you
My senior has friends everywhere
lf he wants to find you,
you are doomed no matter where you are
And l will do what l promised
Unless my senior kill me tomorrow night,
he can't touch you
l said all l wanted. You may go if you like
You are an honest and dauntless hero
l...
l'm sorry
Mr Yuan
Mr Yuan, read this
What is it?
A secret letter from Duoergun to eunuch Cao Huachun
