♫ Heroes of Huaxia(Hua Xia Ying Xiong) ♫ DENG CHAO
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

In my opinion, I'll get engaged to Miss Zhou today.
It'll make it easier for me to expel the poison from her first.
If we're lucky enough to return to the Central Plains.
I'll go and kill that witch Zhao Min and retrieve the Dragon Saber,
before I officially marry Miss Zhao.
Won't this be the perfect plan?
Your plan may sound good,
but what if we can't return to Central Plains within the next decade?
If we are still trapped on this island, unable to return to Central Plains within the next 3 years,
then please preside over our marriage ceremony.
Miss Zhou, what do you think?
I'm a girl, what opinion can I offer?
I'll leave everything in Godfather's hands.
Excellent. Excellent!
Then it's a deal among the three of us.
From now on, you two are engaged.
There's no need for further concerns.
Wuji, hurry up.
Hurry up and expel the poison from my future daughter-in-law.
Yes, Godfather. Go quickly! Go quickly!
Zhiruo, I hope you can understand my difficulties.
Zhiruo.
You gave so many excuses because I look ugly.
If it was Miss Zhao, tonight you would have...
Miss Zhou is right.
Actually the person I truly love turns out to be that vicious and cunning witch, Zhao Mm.
To think that others regard me as a hero,
yet my heart cannot differentiate between good and evil.
Zhiruo.
I'm destined to be bullied by you for the rest of my life.
Zhiruo, do you still remember when we met each other at the Han River while we were young?
I did not expect that now,
when I fought against Kongtong and Abbess Miejue of Emei at Guangming Peak.
you'd be secretly helping me, saving my life.
At that time I only felt gratitude towards you for your concern.
I dared not harbor any wishful thinking.
I stabbed you that day.
Don't you hate me?
Your teacher had forced you; you had to obey.
Your sword did not pierce my heart.
That's when I knew...
That's when I knew that you'd secretly fallen for me.
If I had known,
that day I would've simply stabbed you in your heart and be done with it.
It'd spare me all your bullying for the rest of my life.
I will love and care for you even more in future.
Why would I bully you?
What if I've done something wrong?
Will you hit me, scold me or even kill me?
A virtuous wife like you, who is gentle and refined, can do no wrong.
There are times that even a saint can make mistakes.
I've never had parents to guide me since young,
so I might make the wrong judgment at times.
If you've really done something wrong, I'll talk to you properly.
You'll never turn your heart against me? You'll never kill me?
Stop imagining things. Why would such a thing happen?
I want to hear it from your own lips
Fine. I'll never turn my heart against you.
And I definitely, will not kill you.
I don't want you to laugh about it. I want you to say it in all seriousness.
What is that little brain of yours thinking about?
Zhiruo, you are my beloved wife.
I only hope that you won't mind my indecisiveness in the past.
From now on, I won't change my mind.
Even if you've done something wrong, I won't bear to reprimand you in any way.
Wuji-gege, you're a great man.
You must remember what you've said to me tonight.
I will.
Look, the moon will be our witness.
Yes, you're right.
The moon will be our witness.
Zhiruo,
did you know?
Actually, I've been lied to by many people throughout my life.
Since young, I've trusted others too easily.
I suffered badly.
Only at Ice Fiery Island, with my parents and my godfather,
wouldn't there be any of mankind's schemes and craftiness.
The first time I returned to Central Plains I met an evil old man.
He captured me while my mother was not around.
How would I have expected that we'd share a life and death experience?
On this island, I didn't expect Zhao Min would poison the food that night.
You're a person who never gives up.
By the time you do, it's too late for regrets.
Zhiruo, you've been like my family all along.
You've always been nice to me.
If we get to return to Central Plains in future,
you'll help me to be on my guard against cunning people.
Wuji-gege, I'm the most useless girl.
I'm timid weak and not at all smart.
Even if you don't compare me with the extremely smart Miss Zhao, who is leagues ahead of me.
Even when compared to Xiaozhao, I don't even have an ounce of her shrewdness.
Your Miss Zhou...
is honestly a silly lass.
Don't you know that by now?
I know you won't lie to me.
Wuji-gege, I m so happy that I can be your wife.
Wuji-gege.
I only hope that you won't look down on me or bully me because you find me too stupid and useless.
I'll do my best to look after you.
It's just that..
What?
I remembered the vow I made to my teacher.
What vow?
If I marry you, all my male descendents will be slaves,
and all my female descendents will become prostitutes.
Why did your teacher make you do that?
Wuji-gege what should I do?
Everything will be fine.
You little lecher!
If I survive this, I'll definitely...
I'll definitely...
I'll definitely become your sworn sibling and spend a few peaceful days first.
Seventh Uncle, it's getting late. Let's find an inn to spend the night.
Qingshu, the sky is not dark yet. Let's go to the beach first and ask about Wuji.
Seventh Uncle this place is not far from the beach.
It'll only be a slight delay in looking for Zhang Wuji.
Let's rest the night here first. It's not too late to start tomorrow.
You're right.
We'll stay in this town first.
You may be around the same age as Wuji,
but he demonstrated his great wisdom and bravery in the fight at Wan'an Temple.
Crooks wouldn't dare to despise us since we have such great talents.
You must stay united together. In the future you'll definitely achieve great things
With you two talented young men in Wudang, our future is bright indeed.
Seventh Uncle, let's stay here.
Sure.
Qingshu, did you notice that pillar there carved with Emei Sect's emblem?
Maybe they're here as well.
You must keep a lookout for their whereabouts.
Emei Sect's Zhou Zhiruo is on close terms with Wuji.
Maybe she knows his whereabouts.
It's been rumored Emei Sect has no qualified successor.
Maybe Zhang Wuji is only coveting Zhou Zhiruo's Heavenly Sword.
How can you believe the rumors of the pugilistic world?
Emei and Wudang are all orthodox sects.
In my opinion, Miss Zhou and Wuji look like a couple made for each other.
Qingshu, are you all right?
I'm fine Seventh Uncle.
I'm glad you're fine.
Did you see?
Those Beggars' Clan members behaved so sneakily upon seeing us.
We have to be extra careful here.
You're right, I'll keep that in mind.
Seventh Uncle, please wait. I'll have the horses fed.
Sure.
Compensate me for my wine! Stop there!
Elder Chen! Elder Chen!
How is it?
Report, Elder Chen! Congratulations!
That pale face'd scholar Song Qingshu has fallen into your trap.
Leave.
Yes! Leave.
Teacher.
Right now Zhang Wuji is very popular.
All the young and old in Wudang are revolving themselves around him.
On top of that, he recently subdued those people from the evil cult.
If I don't take into account this lad, who is going to rule the pugilistic world in future,
we will be greatly disadvantaged.
Teacher, I've thought of that as well.
That's why we must come up with a good plan.
That young hero of Wudang, Song Qingshu, thinks he's a cut above others.
In my opinion he's not a magnanimous person.
He must be feeling very fretful now.
I think.. he's troubled over Zhang Wuji as well.
Teacher.
Song Qingshu can't fall for anyone other than that troublesome Zhou Zhiruo.
He doesn't even stop to think whether he's Zhang Wuji's match or not.
Isn't that just as well?
Just go along this line and lay a trap for him, and make him fall head over heels.
Won't that save us a lot of trouble?
Teacher, splendid!
Teacher, I've made all the necessary arrangements.
Please do not worry.
Let's go.
Qingshu!
Senior Sister Jingxuan we've been searching for Leader for so long with no avail.
That's right.
We found Divine Snake Island but the houses there were all burned down.
Only signs of a fight remained but there was no signs of Leader and Granny Golden Mower.
But Senior Sister Ding insisted that Zhang Wuji took Leader to Cuangming Peak.
But I think...
I think Leader... leader won't demean herself like that.
Don't keep calling her Leader!
It still remains to be seen whether she's worthy of being the Leader.
Senior Sister Jingxuan, just don't argue with her.
She thinks she can be the Leader.
Let's stop talking and rest early.
We have to leave this place tomorrow.
Ever since Teacher's gone, Emei Sect has not had a day of peace.
Junior Sister Bei, stop sighing.
We won't be able to stop Senior Sister Ding.
Just let her do what she wants.
My only hope is that Leader Zhou can return to Emei sooner,
and fulfill Teacher's late wish to bring glory to Emei.
Qingshu.
Seventh Uncle. What are you doing here?
You! Come with me.
Seventh Uncle, listen to my explanation. It's not like what you think
Don't tell me that!
Seventh Uncle!
Move! Seventh Uncle!
Come here!
Qingshu, I was worried about your safety, that's why I followed you here.
I didn't expect that you...
You'd actually..
Seventh Uncle, listen to me.
I didn't mean to peep at Emei...
You're still denying it?!
Tell me, what were you doing here?
Or have my eyes deceived me?
Your eyes did not deceive you.
It's just that...
I just want to...
What do you want? I just want to...
Don't you think what you've done is a letdown to your father and Grandteacher?
Don't tell me what I've seen with my own eyes are not real?
Tell me!
I... Tell me!
Fine. You can choose not to speak now.
Once we're back at Wudang,
you can personally explain yourself to your father, Grandteacher and all the disciples of Wudang!
Seventh Uncle,
why must you treat me like this?
Don't think that I couldn't tell.
Ever since Zhang Wuji came back, you've been finding fault with me and siding with him.
What's so good about him?
He's just the Leader of some...
some evil cult!
But all of you are under his spell,
regarding him as your savior!
Actually all these are part of his devious plot.
He's just a wicked wolf in sheep's clothing!
Shut up!
How dare you malign Wuji when you have done something shameful?!
Fine...
Fine.
In your eyes, Zhang Wuji is the most important.
He is aboveboard even though he's with that witch while I am despicable.
Seventh Uncle...
What wrong have I done?
Tell me.
Tell me!
Qingshu, I no longer want to argue with you over this matter.
Go back to Wudang immediately!
Go back with you?
So that you can reprimand me in front of everyone else?
So that I will be embarrassed in front of them?
Is that right?
I'm asking you for the last time.
Are you going back with me or not?!
No! I never will want to go back!
Go back!
Get lost! Go back!
Stop there!
Let me go!
Come back with me!
How dare you lift your hand against me?
Seventh Uncle, don't force me!
I'll teach you a good lesson on your father's behalf today!
Seventh Uncle!
Seventh Uncle...
I didn't mean it.
It's because you forced me!
Who's that?
I'm here to help you.
Help me?
What a surprise!
The son of Wudang's great Hero Song, Song Qingshu,
in order to cover a small shameless deed he committed,
would actually resort to killing his own uncle with his own hands!
No... I did not.
He forced me to it!
No?
Were my eyes playing tricks on me? Everything I saw was fake?
Young Hero Song.
If you obey my instructions.
I do have a way to help you get away with the crime of killing your uncle.
It was you.
It was you!
Young Hero Song. I'm from the Beggars Clan.
I won't harm you.
Besides, things have already come to this.
Do you think you still have a way out?
Teacher...
Teacher!
Zhiruo!
Have you forgotten the vow you made to me?!
I have not!
Zhiruo, bring glory to Emei Sect!
Bring glory to Emei Sect!
Zhiruo, don't ever forget.
If you forget my words, I will turn into a vicious ghost and haunt you!
Teacher!
Teacher! Where are you?
Zhiruo...
what's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
Wuji.
Wuji, what's wrong with Zhiruo?
Old Master Xie.
I had a dream just now.
I dreamt that my teacher was here.
Godfather Zhiruo is fine.
She just had a bad dream.
Zhiruo, why don't we go for a walk?
Come.
Zhiru, you dreamt of your teacher?
I know what you're thinking.
At that time, your teacher must have regarded me as a fiend from the evil cult.
That's why she forced you to make that vow.
Zhiruo, you should know that I'm not the kind of person your teacher thought I was.
Hopefully so.
I hope you're not the kind of person my teacher thought you were.
Wuji-gege, am I right?
But I can't be sure.
As the saying goes, one can know a persons face but not his true nature.
Because of you, I reneged on the vow I made to Teacher.
If you let me down and keep pining for that vicious princess everyday.
I... I might as well die.
Zhiruo, I've already promised you'll treat you well,
so I'll never let you down.
You did say that.
But when the time comes and you see Zhao Min,
you won't know what to do again,
Full speed ahead! It's that island in front!
Hurry! Full speed ahead!
Zhiruo, are you feeling better?
Much better.
Listen, what's that sound?
A ship!
Quick, get up
Let's go and have a look
Godfather, over there.
Why would a ship come to this deserted island?
That's strange. Or is it a pirate ship?
Is that Young Master Zhang Wuji?
Young Master Zhang, we're here to pick you up!
Is that Young Master Zhang?
Yes!
I'm the Young Master Zhang you're looking for.
Who are you people?
My name is Basutai!
I'm really lucky to have found you today.
I'm here under orders to escort Hero Xie and Young Master Zhang back to Central Plains.
Quickly! Go nearer! Lower the anchor! Hurry!
Hurry! Lower the anchor!
Hurry! Quickly, quickly!
Hurry!
My respects to Young Master Zhang!
I wonder who was the one who ordered you to come all the way here?
I am a Daruqachi under the Naval Governor-General of Fujian.
General Burdos sent out a total of 8 ships to look for you and Hero Xie around this area.
I didn't expect to be the first one to gain this merit.
Then why did your general send you to look for me?
The General only instructed me to look for you.
I only know Young Master Zhang is a hero of our time.
But I do not know why I was asked to look for you.
Is it Princess Shao Min's idea?
I've never had the fortune of seeing Princess Shao Min
What fortune?
Princess Shao Min is the greatest beauty in the*country, no, in the world.
She well versed in both martial arts and literature, is the daughter of the Prince of Ruyang.
Why would I have such good fortune as to see the magnificent Princess?
Godfather, what do you think?
Since things have come to this we can only make further plans after boarding the ship.
Let's board.
Sure! Please.
Gentlemen, please.
Raise the anchor, start the ship!
Godfather.
Zhao Min is really not on the ship.
Silly child, how could Zhao Min possibly be here?
Listen up! Master!
Obey my commands and steer the ship towards the east.
I have done nothing to offend you!
Do it Otherwise I'll twist your head off!
Yes, yes.
Helmsman! Quick!
Steer the ship towards the east! Hurray!
I've found out about your devious trick. You're trying to harm me.
Speak!
Who's the one behind this?
Young Master, no!
I'm just following orders to bring you back. I have no intention of harming you!
Young Master, I really have no intention of harming you!
If that's the case, you'd have to obey my instructions throughout the journey.
Yes, yes!
Understand?
Yes, yes! Understood!
Father! Father!
Minmin is back!
What? Minmin is back?
Father! My respects to Father!
Minmin where have you been all this time? I had a hard time looking Tor you.
Father, I miss you a lot too
Minmin, you've lost a lot of weight.
Father, I came back just to let you know that I'm safe.
I'm leaving right away.
You just came back, where are you going again?
You look haggard.
You're not going anywhere.
Stay home for a few more days.
Father, I can't. I have something important to attend to.
My health's fine, I have to go.
Say no more I'm not letting you go anywhere.
Sister! Father...
Just listen to Father.
Father, you know what I'm like.
You should know what the consequences will be if you insist on stopping me.
Minmin.
Sister!
Don't bother with her! Let her leave!
Young Master Zhang, the ship will be docking soon according to your instructions.
All of you have been quite obedient on this journey.
Go ashore!
Yes!
Wuji,
they have been following our route throughout the journey.
There shouldn't be any ambushes on shore
Shouldn't be.
Wuji, go ashore first and see what the situation is like.
Hero Xie.
Godfather!
Zhiruo!
Godfather!
Zhiruo!
I'm here.
Godfather, Zhiruo are you all right?
What happened? Where's the enemy?
Enemy? What enemy?
You saw an enemy?
No, these soldiers... they...
Zhiruo and I killed those soldiers.
It's so unexpected that they'd have the intention to harm us just as the ship is about to dock.
They did not have the intention to harm us. I silenced them.
Once these people are dead, Zhao Min won't know that we're back.
In future, she'll be in the open and we'll be hidden.
It'll be easier to seek her out for revenge.
Wuji.
You think that my methods are too vicious?
Why should we be kind towards our enemies?
As the saying goes, "the end justifies the means."
If you don't hurt others, others will hurt you.
The way Zhao Min has treated us,
we're just giving her a taste of her own medicine.
Light a fire and burn down the ship.
Zhiruo, search the bodies for money.
Pick a few good weapons for defense.
All right.
Get ready to disembark! All right.
Wuji what's the situation like on land?
I saw a road in front.
It should lead towards town.
Let's disguise ourselves a little and disembark.
Sir, what would you like to order?
Come here!
We're booking the whole restaurant today.
Obey my teacher's orders and it'll be worth your while.
Zhiruo, it's hard on you, making you wear clothes like that
Not at all.
I don't care about hardships at all as long as I am with you safe and sound.
Look, you really look the role dressed in the Beggars' Clans clothes.
I have no choice.
It's more convenient to enter Central Plains dressed like this.
I did not expect that there'll come a day when I can return to Central Plains.
Let's go.
Godfather.
Sir, come in please.
Come in please.
Boss, will this money be enough?
Enough, enough.
You can always pay up after you've eaten.
Just order whatever you want.
Our little shop will play host. Come, come.
Waiter!
Serve these customers here some good food and wine!
Sure! Serve these customers here some good food and wine!
Look, that boss refused to accept my money.
Or could our whereabouts been revealed?
Godfather there's a tremor of fear in that boss's voice.
We better be careful. Come, let's go inside.
Boss.
Boss, give me a plate of chicken.
Sure, sure!
Here.
Sir, please enjoy. Please enjoy.
Come.
Coming! Sir, sorry for the wait.
Your food is here. A flask of wine.
Here's your roasted chicken.
Enjoy yourself.
Excellent wine! Enjoy yourself.
I finally get to drink the white wine of Central Plains again.
Come in please, everything's been prepared for you.
Please, please.
Please come in.
Two exponents are coming.
You have to be careful, Wuji.
Beggars' Clan claims to be the largest sect in the pugilistic world.
But the current leader Shi Huolong seldom shows himself.
I wonder what he's like.
These two people carry 9 pouches
In Beggars' Clan besides the Leader, the two of them should be the most senior.
That day on Divine Snake Island, some from the Beggars' Clan tried to take Godfathers Dragon Saber.
I wonder if the both of them are involved in any way.
Wuji, come here.
Drink all the wine you want.
Eat all the food you want.
Yes! Eat all the food you want.
What do you think?
There's such a big gathering of Beggars' Clan members.
They can't be here just for a good meal.
My guess is that they will gather again at night in a secluded place to discuss business.
That must be the case.
Beggars' Clan has always been our cult's enemy.
They had a hand in the plan to burn Guangming Peak.
They also sent people to come after my Dragon Saber.
We must find out if they have other evil plans against our cult.
All right.
Boss, bill please.
Coming, coming!
Here.
There's... there's no need for payment.
Do you have rooms available?
Yes, yes. I have the best rooms available.
I'll take you there right away.
Sure. I'll take you there right away.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Come, come.
Here, Godfather.
This way please.
This is considered a standard room. What do you think?
These are our best rooms here.
Sirs, please be assured and stay here.
Stay for as long as you like.
Here, here. Come in please.
The smell in here is indeed different.
Sit, sit.
Sirs, is there anything else you need?
Bring our food and wine in here quickly.
Sure!
Godfather, Zhiruo, Beggars' Clan members never stay in inns.
We should be safe here.
Wuji, I'm blind and it's inconvenient for me to gather information outside.
Zhiruo's not that highly skilled so she's not of much help to you too.
You'd better go alone.
Of course.
Wuji-gege,
you must be careful.
Don't worry.
Godfather, I'm leaving.
You must be careful.
Keep watch here.
Teacher look.
Zhang Wuji left the inn alone
Xie Xun, you won't be able to escape from my grasp!
Where are my brothers?
The brothers from your esteemed sect have all gone up north.
Sir, have some tea?
No, why should I drink some stinking tea?
Be careful on your journey, sir.
