When all started in the heaven Dang yi qie kai shi zai tian
When all were no longer silent Dang wan wu bu zai shi shen mo
Who gave me a dream containing a slice of blue sky Shei gei wo yi ge meng, meng zhong you yi pian tian kong
Telling me the color of life? Gao su wo sheng ming de yan se
From hence on, I bid farewell to all loneliness Cong ci gao bie suo you ji mo
Only waiting for sunrise and sunset everyday Deng dai mei tian ri sheng ri luo
When fresh blood covers the sky Dang xian xue yan gai le tian
When the country is seeking real heroes Dang hua xia xun zhao zhen de ying xiong
Who will give a sword pointing the way out Shei gei wo yi bai jian, jian zhi xiang yi tiao chu lu
Telling me to march forward with a smile? Gao su wo yao xiao zhe zou guo
Committed to saber and sword for life Dao jian xiang yue yi sheng
The butterflies can never fly across the blue dome of sky Hu die fei bu guo cang qiong
As the meteor passes by, life changes in a flash Deng dai liu xing hua guo, cang hai sang tian
On the banks of the icy lake of tears Bing lei hu de an bian
Helplessly, the saber and sword flashes by Wu nai dao jian hua guo
My beloved left me with a thousand years of longing Yi ren liu xia qian nian de si nian
Far away at the ends of the earth, someone is singing Zong ran yuan gu tian bian, shei zai ge chang
A tune that mourns the lingering loss of a lifetime Ji nian yi luo yi shi de chan mian
With eyes longing Ning wang de yan shen
For love Ai lian

How can such a slow moving swordplay be used in a fight?
It seems that Reverend Zhang slowed down the moves, so that Leader can take a better look.
Wuji, did you take a good look at the moves I executed earlier?
I did.
Have you memorized them all?
Now... now I've forgotten some of them.
All right, it's been difficult for you.
Think it over on your own.
Wuji, how much do you remember now?
I still remember three moves.
All right, continue with your contemplation.
Awareness before the sword flowing endlessly
Grand Teacher, I've forgotten everything.
Well done. That's correct.
Go and seek some pointers from the Eight-Armed Swordsman now.
Excellent.
I'd advise you to stop right now.
Leader, your skills are truly brilliant!
Great! Leader, your skills are truly brilliant!
Princess, I am useless. I'm willing to accept my punishment.
Zhang Wuji.
I'll let Wudang off today on your account.
Let's go!
Leader, you're great!
Hey! Give me the Black Jade Dipsacus Cream!
Leader! Are you all right?
Leader!
Wuji! Leader!
Wuji! I'm fine.
Wuji, how are you?
Leader, are you all right? Wuji, how are you?
Grand Teacher. Is it serious?
Grand Teacher. Are you all right?
I'm fine. Are you all right?
It's good that you're all right.
Grand Teacher, are you all right?
It's all right, as long as you're fine.
That's good.
It's them.
They were the ones who struck me with the Xuan Ming Divine Palm when I was younger.
Grand Teacher,
my extraordinary skills were from the Nine Yang Manual found in the White Ape's stomach.
I understand everything now after your explanation.
The Nine Yang Manual was originally kept in the book seams of the Lankavatara Sutra.
Later, it was stolen by Yin Kexi.
Before Yin Kexi died,
he asked the Kunlun Three Sage, He Zudao to pass a message to Master Jueyuan.
He said the scripture was in the oil.
But no one understood what the message meant.
Now it's all clear.
Yin Kexi is from the Western Regions. His accent was already difficult to decipher.
Additionally, he uttered those words when he was dying and growing stiff.
I guess the message "the scripture was in the oil", actually meant "the scripture was in the ape".
In order to avoid being persecuted.
Yin Kexi escaped and hid the sutra in the stomach of the ape.
I guess that's the origin of the message.
After that, Yin Kexi continued searching but to no avail.
Heaven is not blind indeed.
I did not expect the ape to survive with so many books in his stomach.
It actually traveled past Mt. Hua and met Wuji instead.
Do you know the background of that young lady?
Grand Teacher. I..
Reverend Zhang. Grand Teacher. I...
We don't know the background of that Miss Zhao.
But even martial exponents like the Xuan Ming Elders are willing to take her orders.
There are two matters at hand now.
The first is to obtain the Black Jade Dipsacus Cream to treat Third and Sixth Uncle's injuries.
The second is to find the whereabouts of Eldest Uncle Song.
Both of these matters involve that Miss Zhao.
I've been disabled for over twenty years.
Even if there were some miracle elixir, it wouldn't be able to cure me.
I think it's more important to save Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother first.
No hurry yet.
Envoy Yang, Bat King Wei and Reverend Shuo Bu De, please accompany me to pursue our enemy.
The deputy banner bearers of the five Elements Factions will go to Emei, Huashan, Kunlun, Kongtong, and Shaolin,
and make contact with these five sects to gather information.
Grandfather, I have to ask you to gather the members of the Heavenly Eagle Cult.
Iron-Crowned Taoist, Reverend Peng and Mister Zhou.
you shall stay here with the banner bearers of the five Elements Factions.
awaiting my Grand Teacher's orders, and support the main base.
We will do as you command.
Wuji can master my Taiji Fists and Taiji Swordplay.
only because of his profound internal strength and perceptiveness.
He may be a rare talent, but cannot be considered a capable leader
To think that he can reform the Ming Cult and the Heavenly Eagle Cult.
leading them towards the right path.
Now that is truly a great accomplishment.
Cuishan truly has a good successor.
Sir, your noodles!
Sirs, your food will be ready soon. Please enjoy!
Boss.
Sir, what would you like?
Get me a bowl of noodles. Sir what would you like?
Get me a bowl of noodles. Sure! A bowl of noodles!
Please take a seat.
Boss, can I find out something from you?
Did you see a yellow silk carriage passing by this way today?
Yellow silk carriage...? Yes!
There were three seriously ill men being carried as well.
Where were they headed?
Towards Huanglong Town. They've been gone for two hours now.
Thank you!
Your noodles! Sir! Thank you!
I'm dying of pain! Hurry up!
My arms are hurting like hell! I'm dying of pain! Hurry up!
Just stop screaming.
It's all right now.
Everything will be fine once you apply this medicine.
This is an elixir especially for the joints and bones. You'll be fine once you apply it.
Listen up, this medication is extremely precious.
If Master did not give her orders, I wouldn't bear to use it on you.
You'll be fine in two days after applying this.
Everything's fine. Let me apply it for you.
I crippled their limbs.
so they must be using the Blackjade Dipsacus Cream.
This is the best time to take it.
You'll be fine in two days, don't worry. I'm leaving now.
Men!
Brother Wuji! Brother Wuji!
It's terrible! Sixth Uncle, he...
Let's go!
I'm dying of pain! I cant stand it!
Third Uncle!
Quick carry him up to the bed!
I can't stand it anymore! Quick carry him up to the bed!
Sixth Hero!
I'm dying of pain!
Is the pain coming from the injured area? I'm dying of pain!
Xiaozhao, are you all right?
My insides are numb!
Sixth Uncle! My insides are numb!
Brother Wuji! My insides are numb!
Brother Wuji!
Sixth Uncle! Calm down, Sixth Uncle!
The itch is killing me! Like millions of worms crawling and burrowing into my body!
It itches terribly! Save me!
Sixth Uncle... It itches terribly! Save met
The itch is killing me...
Sixth Hero!
Brother Wuji!
I'm dying of itch! I'm dying!
Tiny balls are dancing in the sky!
Brother Wuji!
I brought this upon Third Uncle and Sixth Uncle!
Brother Wuji, it's not your fault.
Now I finally understand,
why my father committed suicide.
Once a grave mistake has been made there's no other way out besides death
There are more than a hundred ways to concoct this Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream.
We don't know which seven poisonous insects or flowers were used.
If we were to counter poison with poison,
just one wrong ingredient will cost us the lives of Third Uncle and Sixth Uncle.
Is there really no cure?
Can't we even try?
Leader! Leader!
Leader, that Miss Zhao is waiting for you at the entrance.
I was about to look for her!
Master.
You'd better return this pearl hairpin to Miss Zhao.
Give me the antidote.
Why? Are you threatening me again?
You already did it once the last time.
I was kind enough to pay you a visit, yet you're so hostile.
Is that how guests are treated?
Give me the antidote!
If you don't, you can forget about living too.
Stop flattering yourself.
You can die alone for all I care, I'm not accompanying you.
Do you think I'm joking?
If you don't give me the antidote, you'll die today.
What's that in your hands?
Your pearl hairpin. You can have it back.
I gave it to you, why don't you want it?
You tricked me so viciously.
I don't want anything from you.
You don't want my things?
Is that true?
Then why do you keep asking for my antidote?
To think that the great Ming Cult Leader is stumped by such a small problem,
crying like a kid when you encounter problems.
Why? Were you weeping earlier?
Don't you feel embarrassed?
Let me tell you.
I came to visit you today because you were struck by the Xuan Ming Elders.
I'm here to see how you are.
I didn't expect you to be so whiny and clingy the moment you saw me.
Look, you are not even letting go of my hands. What's the matter with you?
You don't look injured.
The mere Xuan Ming Divine Palm can't really hurt me.
What about the Vajra Finger and the Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream?
So it really was the Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream!
Leader Zhang, I can give you the Black Jade Dipsacus Cream.
If you want the Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream, I can give it to you too.
Like I said.
if you promise to do three things for me, I will give them to you personally.
Otherwise, you can just go on threatening me.
It's easy for you to kill me,
but extremely difficult for you to set the antidote.
Even if I give it to you, it'll be a fake.
Or maybe an even more toxic poison.
What are the three things? Tell me quickly.
Don't you feel embarrassed, crying one moment and laughing the next?
I told you, I have yet to decide on the three things.
Once I think of something, you'll do each one as I tell you to.
Don't worry, I won't ask for the moon,
or for you to do anything against the code of chivalry,
nor will I ask you to die.
Miss Zhao.
as long as you re willing to give me the antidote to cure my uncles,
whatever your requests may be, I will never decline,
I will go through fire and water if you so command me.
Fine, it's a deal. Let's pinky promise.
You don't know how to do that?
Then can you accept my things now?
All right.
But you must promise not to give it to that pretty maid.
Sure.
I'll send you the antidote in a while.
Leader Zhang, wait for it.
Miss Zhao.
Leader Zhang! Please read this letter from my master!
To Leader Chang
Within the gaps of the golden box the miracle cream lays hidden.
In the hollows of the pearl hairpin the prescription lays concealed.
These two items have been with you all this time, so why the need to worry?
Only because you cared so little for these things that you gave it to your maid,
which was not something that I expected.
Black spider, red scorpion, toad, red peony, peacock's gall...
That's right, it's exactly the same as what Wang Nan gu documented.
Let me try the medicine on the dog first to test its authenticity.
Brother Wuji.
Missy.
How are my uncles' injuries?
They're much better now after taking the antidote you made.
It seems that the antidote is authentic.
Brother Wuji, what are you doing?
I'm testing the authenticity of the Black Jade Dipsacus Cream.
Though the antidote to Seven Insects and Seven Flower Cream is real,
we still must be on our guard.
Grand Teacher.
I've been so busy tending to Uncles' injuries that I haven't found time to visit you.
How are Daiyan and Liting's injuries?
There are improvements.
Sixth Uncle's injuries are recent, so it won't be difficult for him to recover his skills.
But Third Uncle has been disabled for a long time, I'm afraid...
This is what I expected.
You've tried your best, so there's no need to force the outcome.
Wuji, I am naturally overjoyed that you've returned to Wudang.
I'm even more delighted that you're leading the Ming Cult members towards the righteous path.
The work you've done will go down in history.
I understand.
I am indifferent to whether a sect is orthodox or unorthodox.
Good and evil should be based on deeds, not according to sects.
Your father, Cuishan, is of course a trustworthy gentleman,
but your mother is also a loyal woman true to her heart.
I don't think you should be distressed by the gossips in the pugilistic realm.
Yes.
I taught you Taiji fist and Taiji Swordplay in a rush the other day.
Why don't we do it again together now?
Let's practice.
All right.
Let's start. All right.
Begin.
Hands together.
Hands apart, level with shoulders, circular motion.
"Exert strength throughout the body, focusing the mind."
"Guide the fluid strength in a circular motion."
Brother Wuji.
Buhui.
I have something to tell you.
Buhui, what's wrong?
I...
Brother Wuji,
do you think my parents have let Sixth Uncle Yin down?
No. That s all in the past.
There's no need to dwell on it.
No.
To others it may be something that happened long ago.
I'm already 17 years old.
But Uncle Yin has never forgotten my mother.
This time he was seriously injured and semi-conscious.
But he kept holding my hands calling me Xiaofu.
He said, "Xiaofu, don t leave me."
"Look, I'm already a cripple. I m begging you, please dont leave me."
"Don't abandon me.'"
That's because Sixth Uncle was delirious. Don't take his words to mind.
No, you don't understand.
But I do.
When he opened his eyes, the way he looked at me,
he was begging me not to leave him.
He just did not say it out loud.
The more Uncle Yin looks at me that way,
the more I feel that my parents have done him wrong.
He's so pitiful.
Brother Wuji, do you know that I've already promised Uncle Yin?
Whether he recovers from his disability or not,
I want to be with him forever.
We'll never part in this lifetime.
You...
I've already made a solemn promise to Uncle Yin.
If he cannot move for the rest of his life, I'll take care of him for the rest of my life.
I'll feed him, keep him company, and talk to him.
Buhui, but you...
I'm not being rash.
I've thought over it long and hard all this while.
Actually he's not the one who cannot leave me.
I'm the one who cannot bear to leave him.
When I'm with him, he'll just look at me in a daze.
I like that more than anything else.
Brother Wuji, I've always told you everything since we were young.
I'd tell you that I liked pancakes, and also candied dolls.
We were poor then and you even stole one for me in the night.
Do you remember?
I do, I remember all of it.
I especially loved that candied doll.
I couldn't bear to eat it so I took it along with me.
The sun bore down on it and the candy melted.
I was especially upset, bawling my eyes out.
You said you'd find me another one a bigger and better candied doll.
Later, you bought me another one.
But I didn't want it anymore and threw a tantrum.
You scolded me for being immature, right?
Did I scold you? Why can't I remember that?
I'm a very stubborn person.
Uncle Yin is like the first candied doll that I liked.
I'll never like another one in this lifetime.
Brother Wuji, you saved my life many times.
Actually, I should take care of you for the rest of my life.
But I've always loved and respected you like a big brother.
But towards Uncle Yin, I feel an indescribable sense of pity and love.
He's my elder and more than twice my age.
People will laugh about it if they find out.
And Father is in conflict with him too.
I know it won't work out.
Nevertheless, I'm telling you all of this.
And you're the only person I'm telling.
Leader, those members of the Five Elements Factions who went to gather news have returned.
At this point in time,
none of the members of the six major sects who went to Guangming Peak has returned,
their whereabouts are unknown.
It seems like all from the six major sects were ambushed.
The pugilistic world is now abuzz with rumors.
claiming that our cult has killed all the martial exponents from the six major sects.
After which we will attack the various sects individually.
Now all the sects, clans, escort agencies, stockades, and piers are at the highest alert level,
being afraid that we will attack them.
Seems that they are going to pin the blame on us again.
It'll be more difficult to clear the misunderstanding between us now.
That's right.
Master!
Master, Eagle King and the rest are back.
What's wrong? Master, Eagle King and the rest are back.
Let's go take a look.
Let's go.
Thank you, Leader Zhang!
Thank you! Thank you, Leader Zhang!
Welcome, Leader!
Stop!
Now, the heroes are rising in revolt. The rebellion against the Mongols is starting.
The world is already in chaos.
Sadly, all those rebels fight their own battles and thus are quickly destroyed.
Sadly, many of our Ming Cult brothers have either perished or are injured.
The common people of the world are suffering and they are craving changes.
This is a chance to mend relations with the other sects.
and to join forces with them against a common enemy.
Stop, stop. Listen to what I have to say.
What Left Envoy Yang said sounds inspiring,
but it's a load of nonsense.
It's as good as farting.
Just listen to that mouth of Zhou Dian's!
Brother Zhou, your advice please.
They are all saying that the Ming Cult killed the exponents from the six major sects.
The mere mention of our name will cause an uproar.
Join forces against a common enemy? Sounds great, but how do we get started?
Although we've been slapped with this accusation.
the truth will come to light sooner or later.
Besides, Reverend Zhang can vouch for us.
If we're really the ones who killed Song Yuanqiao.
Old Nun Miejue, He Taichong and the rest,
isn't Reverend Zhang being kept in the dark as well?
So how is it trustworthy?
1.
Zhou Dian how can you spout nonsense in front of the Leader?
What Brother Zhou said is not without reason.
Hear that?
In my opinion. Hear that?
everyone in the Ming Cult, and the leaders of the major factions,
looks forward to Leader Zhang mending relations with the various pugilistic sects.
Besides, with our manpower,
we can always investigate where Hero Song and Abbess Miejue are right now.
It's extremely easy if we want to find Hero Song and the rest.
Almost as easy as lifting a finger!
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Leader Zhang just has to ask Miss Zhao.
We'll most likely find out the right answer.
I think those people have either been killed or hidden by her.
Isn't that so, fatso?
Now that's really nonsense. Isn't that so, fatso?
If we could find that Miss Zhao, we would have asked her already.
Of course, you all can't find her.
But if Leader Zhang wants to find her, it'll be easy.
Think about it.
Leader Zhang has not fulfilled the three things he promised to do for her.
Would such a formidable lady like her give up just like that?
Besides, when I think of such a pretty looking "man",
it really gives me goosebumps and makes my body tremble.
My only wish is that she'll tell me her three difficult tasks quickly.
Of course, I'll also try to accomplish them quickly.
Otherwise I'll keep worrying about what new tricks she'll be up to.
Just now Reverend Peng mentioned gathering the leaders of the major factions.
I think it's feasible what do all of you think?
All right, all right.
Leader, where do you think is the best location for the gathering?
All right, let's decide to meet on the 15th day of the 8th month.
All the leaders of the various factions will gather at Mt. Wudang!
We shall do as you command!
Leader is wise, united we will destroy the Mongols!
As commanded by Leader, let's set off!
Let's go!
Liu-ge, are you feeling better? ("-ge" is a term of endearment, Liu means six.)
Buhui, it's been hard on you.
Not at all.
Liu-ge, have a good rest
Leader, please wait!
Uncle Yang, please dispense with ceremony.
I may be the Leader, but I am young and inexperienced.
I'm still not too clear about our cult's history.
I'll have to learn from you.
You're too humble. Leader. I've recorded the history of our cult in a book.
I'll give it to you at a later date.
Ming Cult was originally named Manichaeism.
It spread to the Central Plains during the reign of the Empress Wu.
Buddha revealed how to achieve salvation for all,
but the monks all concentrated on their own meditations and ignored the mundane world.
The same goes for the Taoists.
Our cult thus gathered the villagers, and regardless of who was in trouble,
everyone in the cult would lend a helping hand.
As long as anyone is being bullied or maligned,
our cult would definitely stand up for him to the end.
So our motto is to uphold goodness and eradicate evil.
It's similar to religious morals.
But why are the common people always suffering through the various dynasties?
Seems that only when the court officials stop bullying the people,
will the Ming Cult grow in glory.
Uncle Yang, I must read that book.
Right, I'll definitely give you the book.
My uncles' injures are much better now.
I'm planning to bring our men to look for the six major sects.
That's right.
Uncle Yang, there s something I want to discuss with you.
It's regarding Sister Buhui.
You gave Buhui her life.
I am eternally grateful for that.
Leader, if you have any orders, I'll be happy to oblige.
Ah, no, Uncle Yang, you're mistaken.
Actually, Buhui already has her heart set on someone else
Don't you know?
What?
This... I did not know.
She told me herself.
The person she's fond of is Sixth Uncle Yin.
What?! Sixth Hero Yin?
How... how can that be possible?
She... she told me so herself.
She was very sure of her feelings and definitely not saying it on a whim.
Well...
It should be our family's good fortune that Sixth Hero Yin has taken a liking to my daughter.
But their age gap and status is too wide. This...
Leader...
This.. must never be.
Uncle Yin is not even 40 years old, and he's in his prime now.
Although Sister Buhui addresses him as "Uncle",
they are not related by blood or by sect at all.
Besides, if we can bring them together in this matter,
all the enmity in the past will be resolved.
Isn't that a good thing?
Your words have suddenly unraveled the knot that's been in my heart for so many years.
If this marriage can dissolve the years of enmity, of course it'll be splendid.
Leader, let me thank you first.
Uncle Yang, please dispense with the ceremony.
