Since yesterday had to throw me and bolt
Today has hurt my heart even more
The autumn wildgeese have a long wing for escort
As I face them from this villa drinking my wine
- Shifu Hon - Shifu Hon
The bones of great writers are your brushes in the school of heaven
The prince is still inside?
He has been inside for two days and nights
We both are exalted to distant thought Aspiring to the sky and the bright moon
What a bookworm
Your Highness, you have not practiced for two days
Your Highness, please open the door and come out
Love, compassion, sympathetic joy Impartiality
To love; treat tenderly; take pity be compassionate
This is ridiculous
Compassion: be sad, sorrowful, mournful be grieved at
Where is the prince?
Shifu Hon, His Highness said he wanted to see the country
He bid me stay here studying
Where has he gone? When did he leave?
He went out two days ago
Shifu Hon
Prince of Southern Garrison is back from his inspection tour
I come here to ask His Highness to go And welcome his father's return
Your Highness
Summon the Four Great Bodyguards
Your Highness, at your service
- Please get up - Thank you, Your Highness
Have you found the prince?
Your Highness, we have searched the palace
There was no sight of him
What nerve! He has slipped out of the palace
Your Highness, please don't be angry
The prince probably slipped out for some fun
He probably is on his way back
You four go get him back right now
Make no delays
Yes, Your Highness
Your Highness
What is it?
His Majesty invites you over to the imperial garden for a chat
Royal Brother
Brother, I hear that Yue refuses to practice martial arts
Not only that
He has slipped out of the palace
And is nowhere to be found
Really?
When he comes back this time
I will not let him get off so easily
Brother, Yue is a very bright kid
He never forgets the classics and poetries he has read
Slipping out for some fun is no big deal
You don't have to get so upset
We have spoiled him
He has all sorts of excuses for not practicing martial arts
Now he has slipped out, it was audacious
Brother, martial arts training depends on character and interest
Yue is bright and clever
But he has no interest in martial arts at all
It is no use forcing him into it
Running a country doesn't need to be a martial arts adept
But Tuen family of Dali
Is known to be a house of literary and martial arts adepts
Martial arts schools of the mainland all acknowledge
Our Finger of Positivity is most profound
He is a direct descendent of the Tuen family
But he knows no martial arts at all
He will be laughed at in the martial world
Brother, I understand how you feel
Your Majesty, Your Highness
Minister Chu, please get up
Thank you, Your Majesty
Is the prince found?
Your Highness
I have searched the whole city There was no sight of him
I am afraid he has slipped out of town
How audacious
- Minister Chu - Yes
You Four Great Bodyguards go out of town this very night
You have to take him back
Yes, may I be excused
Brother, don't worry
Yue is bright and smart, he will be fine
But the martial world is treacherous
He is too naive
Please
Master Szeto, Knight-errant Auyeung Greetings
So the hospitable Knight-errant Ma Yuk Tak is here too
The once in five years Boundless Sword interfaction match
You two have always been the referees
Now we meet again this year We are in one another's destiny
Though not of the martial world
Knight-errant Ma is good friend of both faction leaders
So Knight-errant Ma has attended every of Boundless Sword School's match
Right, so see you later in Sword Lake Palace
Sure, see you
- See you - See you
- Have you see Tuen Yue? - No
That's odd, he was with us just now
Uncle Ma
Yue, where have you gone?
I happened to see some very pretty camellias over there
I stopped to appreciate them
Yue, I think you must be thirsty
Let us go in for a cup of tea
Tea? Great
- You take care of things here - Yes, Boss
Shifu, you care for some water?
- Pui - Shifu
This match concerns Boundless West Faction's chance
Of taking over Sword Lake Palace
So don't you disappoint me
I will bear Shifu's teaching in mind
I will revenge the defeat last time
You remember who defeated you last time?
Yes, Yu Kwong Ho
I am glad you do
Yu is one of the three senior disciples of Tso Chi Muk
His swordsmanship must have greatly advanced these 5 years
You may have to fight him again
Last time he beat you by half a move out of luck
You have confidence you can beat him this time?
I will do my best
You have to bear it in mind
I accept nothing less than victory this time
The secret of the Boundless Jade Cliff in Sword Lake Palace
Has not been figured out all these 35 years
I have to figure it out this time
Show me your Boundless Moves
Bear it in mind
At this critical moment
Put your personal feelings aside
Don't let it distract you
Master
How's the situation in Sword Lake Palace?
Master, referees from other schools are now at the foothill of Boundless Mount
What about Sun Sheung Ching?
She was there at noon
I believe she is now in Sword Lake Palace
When the Boundless Sword interfaction match begins
It is the time we captured the mount
Let the two factions of Boundless Sword fight each other
We can fish in troubled water
We Shennong Guild has to wipe out Boundless Sword School
The secret of Boundless Jade Cliff
We can figure it out
Then Garuda Palace's Kid Elder of Mount Heaven
Will reward us handsomely
You get ready tomorrow
Once we have news from the scouts
We will charge up Sword Lake Palace
Shifu
Kwong Ho
You get ready for tomorrow's match?
I am ready
Time flies, so it has been 5 years
Tomorrow's fight will decide whether we East Faction can stay
Don't you fail me
Shifu, disciples of East Faction are high in morale
We have the home turf advantage
We will beat West Faction in tomorrow's match
Home turf advantage?
That's correct
We have lived here 10 years
We sure have the home turf advantage
But the secret of Boundless Jade Cliff
I still can't figure it out, what a pity
Shifu, to us, the Boundless Jade Cliff is just a smooth rock
There is no secret at all
Kwong Ho, you joined the school relatively late
The Boundless Jade Cliff is not just a rock
39 years ago
My shifu was the master of the East Faction
On moonlit nights
He could see shadows practicing sword on the cliff
Sometimes it was a man, sometimes a woman
Sometimes they were sparring
The swordsmanship was something my shifu had never seen
He could never dream of such exquisite moves
He was too obsessed with the shadow swordsman on the wall
To the neglect of his own swordsmanship
And 15 years ago
West Faction seized the opportunity and took over Sword Lake Palace
Luckily 5 years later, I fought on Shifu's behalf
And won back Sword Lake Palace
Shifu, there really is no way to climb up the Boundless Jade Cliff?
Even adepts of the highest order can't climb up
One slip and you will fall into the abyss below
Your body can never be retrieved
Shifu, since Boundless Jade Cliff is the dwelling place of immortals
We will figure the secret of the shadow swordsmen
Whatever it takes
We have to win tomorrow
Or we have to move out of Sword Lake Palace
Yes, Shifu
Heroes
The once in five years Boundless Sword match now commences
As for referees this year
We have Master Ho Sam Tai of Wai Yuen Security Agency
And Master of Iron Palm Shifu Auyeung Tin
Like before, we will have three rounds
The faction that can win two out of three is the winner
And will become the occupant of Sword Lake Palace for the next 5 years
Two masters, you have anything to add?
Sister-in-arm Sun, I have nothing to add What about you?
It is the rule set by Shifu
Of course I have no objections
Master Szeto, we can begin
The first round is Kung Kwong Kit of East Faction
Versus Hon Kwong Wai of West Faction
Uncle Ma, they use swords in their match
Will it be dangerous?
They are adept swordsmen They know when to stop
All right, stop!
East Faction has the first round
Second round
Yu Kwong Ho of East Faction versus Kot Kwong Pui of West Faction
West Faction has the second round
After two rounds
East and West Faction are in a draw
Brother-in-arm, you think we can beat West Faction or not?
Shifu is astute
I am sure he can keep Sword Lake Palace
Brother-in-arm
Sister-in-arm Sun
Your disciples really have made strides in their swordsmanship
Especially in the second round
Kot's Boundless Eight Moves were impressive
Were it otherwise, we would not need to have the third round today
Brother-in-arms, you are too kind
It is getting more exciting
Right
- Brother Ma - Brother Tso
Just now your disciple snickered at my disciple's swordsmanship
He must think that Boundless Sword's swordsmanship doesn't live up to its name
Well, in that case
Could your disciple give us a demonstration
Brother Tso, my martial artistry is unimpressive
How could I have disciples?
I met this little brother on my way
So we came to attend this event together
So this brother here, how should I call you
Who is your shifu?
My name is Tuen Yue
I have never learned martial arts
Seeing a woman's purse falling out from your disciple
I couldn't help laughing out only
- Kwong Ho - Yes
You were snickered at for your clumsiness
You should ask this Brother Tuen to teach you a move or two
Mr Tuen, please
Fine, if you want to practice I will be glad to watch on the side
What did you say?
You swing your sword around
It is obvious you want to practice
But why insist I practice it with you?
You have not heard that my shifu asked us to fight it out
Your shifu is your shifu
But your shifu is not my shifu
So you have to listen to your shifu
But I don't have to listen to your shifu
Your shifu instructed you to fight with others
And you did
Now your shifu bids you to fight with me
But firstly I don't know swordsmanship Secondly I hate to lose
Thirdly I don't like to get hurt
And fourthly I don't want to die yet
So I won't do it with you
And I mean what I say
You really don't know martial arts or you are just acting the fool?
I told you I don't know martial arts
And I don't lie
You come to Boundless Mount to create disturbances
You must have a death wish
Which school are you from? Who is behind you?
This brother here You don't have to get so mad
You are a disciple of the Boundless Sword
As the sutra says There are four boundless minds
Love, compassion, sympathetic joy and impartiality
Brother Tuen, so you really don't know martial arts
Then why bother to ruffle them?
Fool
I meant to see people and places
How did I know there would be such unreasonable people here
I give up, Uncle Ma, I bid you goodbye
You can't go
You go away just like that?
Snake! Help!
Miss... so it was you who saved me
They hit you, why didn't you hit back?
I don't know martial arts how could I hit back?
Why did you kill my snake?
You have to compensate me
Who are you? What are you doing here?
You come down
If you don't come down I am going up to get you
Go ahead if you can
- Go! - Yes
Sweetie...
You all right?
Miss, your marten is cute
Of course, I raised it up
It is obedient to me
Shifu
Brother-in-arms...
- What is it? - What is it?
Shennong Guild?
Brother-in-arms, since when you have become their enemy?
You want melon seeds?
Come up here, let me treat you to some
It is too high, I can't get up
Just pull hard
Hold it tight
So here you are
Thank you, Miss
Could you let me play with it?
No, it is venomous
It was last autumn
4 of their masters asked for permission to collect herbs here
I refused
But they sneaked in anyway
Two of them were killed by us
And that's how our feud came into being
They were in the wrong in the first place
Now they want revenge? How shameless
- Give me the letter - Yes
Shennong Guild to Tso Chi Muk
You are given two hours to cut off your right arms and break your swords
And leave Boundless Mount Sword Lake Palace
Or you will be slaughtered
Brother-in-arms, he...
Shifu, he's dead
The letter is laced with poison
Miss, how did you know the letter is laced?
It is such a simple way of lacing How can it fool me?
Miss, how should I address you?
I can't tell you my name
It is confidential
Miss, who is your father?
Could you tell us who your shifu is?
I won't fall into your trap
If I tell you my father's name
Then you can easily find out my name
My shifu is my mother
All the more I can't tell you her name
Miss, please come down
Let us find out a way together
Shennong Guild already has Boundless Mount surrounded
If they launch their attack You will be in trouble too
I am not worried
Shennong Guild only kill people of Boundless Sword
I overheard them on the way
So I come here to see the fun
Have some melon seeds
What flavour is it?
They were fried with snake gall bladder
They are good for the eyes and complexion
They were prepared by my mother
- Try some - Thank you
Miss, could you tell us what you've overheard on your way?
All right, seeing that you are all in a panic
Let me tell you a couple of things
Miss, please
Shennong Guild is famed for using poisons
You may be good at swordsmanship
But it is no way to fend off poisons
A couple of days ago
I was catching venomous snakes for my marten
On the foothill
I overheard them talking about Boundless Sword
That guild master said
If they couldn't wipe out Boundless Sword School
They themselves had to die
They couldn't keep their lives
So he is doing other's bidding?
I heard him mention Misty Mount Garuda Palace many times
Or the order of Kid Elder of Mount Heaven
That they had to find out the secret the Boundless Jade Cliff
Misty Mount, Garuda Palace?
I have never heard of this school before
Right...
Who is Kid Elder of Mount Heaven?
That I don't know
But a guild follower said to the master
That only Kid Elder could cure his Samsara Talisman
However, the celestial herb in Boundless Mount could alleviate the pain
When the talisman goes into effect
So they are coming for the celestial herb As pain killer
No wonder they came again and again to steal herbs
Since it is the celestial herb they are after
Just let them have it
No use giving it to them
Have you heard?
They mean to wipe out Boundless Mount
And the Garuda Palace this lady said
Who are they?
Let us go down
Let us check out the Shennong Guild
Let us go
Halt!
Why?
Now people of Shennong Guild are out there
If you go out just like that
You will fall into their ambush
Thank you for your concern
But we can take care of ourselves
Go
But you know too much, especially you
You refused to tell us who you are
We can't let you go
What if I insist?
Ask my sword first
That old dude wants to kill me, what to do?
Whatever you say
If he kills me with his sword?
We share weal and woe together
We share melon seeds We take coming swords together
Good, how frank, let us go
Brother-in-arms
Your... marten is venomous
Hold her
Hold it, or I will release the marten
Give us the antidote
I don't have the antidote
Give him some celestial herb decoction
But don't let him move in 6 hours
Or he will die
Go get the celestial herb
- Hurry... - Go...
Brother Tso...
Well...
That man was bitten by my marten
He should have chopped his arm off
Then his life would have been saved
But now he only has 8 days
But you said the celestial herb decoction could neutralize the poison
I lied to them Or how would they let us go?
No, I have to go back and tell them
You can't go back, they will kill you
Moreover, you said we share melon seeds We take coming swords together
How can I let you go back?
You give them the antidote
I said I don't have the antidote
You have forgotten? They hit you
Why are you still so good to them?
I was beaten by his disciple But the pain has long gone
Mencius says, compassion is universal
The Buddha says
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven story pagoda
I don't know what you are talking about
Miss
You refused to tell Tso Chi Muk your name
But could you tell me?
My surname is Chung
My dad and mom call me Ling, and you?
My surname is Tuen, my name is Yue
You are from Dali?
How come you are here in Boundless Mount?
Don't mention it
I slipped away
Really? Why? Why slipped away?
You tell me
Come on, tell me
Brother-in-arms, you feel better?
Much better
I have ordered the disciples to take up guards in the entrances
Right, but what about the guests and referees?
I have moved them to West Wing at the back of the mount
Who would know
The once in 5 years match would end up like this?
And we lost two disciples
Brother-in-arms, you just recuperate here
Shennong Guild dares not charge up here just like that
Sister-in-arms
This feud with Shennong Guild
Only concerns East Faction
You are not involved in it
And you don't live in Sword Lake Palace
You had better go
Brother-in-arms, with you in this situation
I will not desert you
East and West factions belong to the same school
Now you are facing a formidable enemy
I will stay behind to help you
Dad has hired many teachers for me
They taught me the classics and poetries
And there was a monk teaching me Buddhist doctrines
Then one day, Dad wanted me to pick up martial arts
I never had an interest in martial arts
So I argued with him using Buddhist teachings for three days
He got the references wrong
He couldn't convince me
And he threw a temper
He closed two of my acupoints
It was so hard to bear
Your dad knows how to close acupoints?
Yes, he touched me with one finger and I was immobilized
It is well-known in the martial world It is the Finger of Positivity
Yes, Finger of Positivity of the Tuen family
You really know no martial arts at all?
Yes, you don't believe me?
I believe you
But the Tuen family's closing acupoint technique is one of a kind
When hearing Finger of Positivity
Martial arts practitioners will simply drool
If they know your dad possess this martial artistry
They will come to get you
And use you to exchange the technique with your dad
My dad will fight them
And he will win
I think you shouldn't tell others you are a Tuen
You just use my surname Chung
All right, but you have to call me big brother
How old are you?
- And you? - 17
I am three years older than you are
All right, a deal
Isn't this the camping site of Shennong Guild?
Yes, I have to see their master
What for?
To persuade him not to kill
To spare Boundless Sword and Shennong Guild of meaningless deaths
Who do you think you are?
That they will listen to you?
I am confident that with my oratory skill I can convince them
You don't have to go with me
Brother Tuen
Sorry... I wanted to see if you really don't know martial arts
I didn't know you really don't know
I didn't mean it
Why you hit me?
Why you faked passing out?
You hit me out of the blue
And you call me big brother?
I was wrong this time, you can hit me back
Just do it
All right, I am going to hit you
Why you still don't do it?
I can't bring myself to hit you
All right then
I really have to go in
If you don't want to, you wait for me here
I go with you
You said we share melon seeds We take coming swords together
Who are you?
I am Tuen Yue, I want to see your master
Please announce for me
You are Tuen Yue, why are you here?
I hear about your feud with Boundless Sword
And I saw two deaths in Boundless Sword
It really grieved me So I come to talk you out of it
Feuds should be undone
Moreover, killing people is breaking the law
Master please stop before it is too late And turn back immediately
Don't go after Boundless Sword again
I have been in the martial world for 40 years
I have yet to see another so audacious
Who sent you here?
I come on my own accord
What I said was sincere advice
Please think about it
Master, we Shennong Guild has no patience for busybodies
They are weird
Mr Tuen is full of sincerity
If you don't want to hear it It is up to you
Let us go
You can't go
- Get them - Yes
- Freeze... - What are you doing? Let go...
Miss Chung...
Give us the antidote
I have no antidote
Only my dad can cure the marten's venom
