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

Leader Zhang, our Leader said it's inappropriate for those of the opposite sex to meet at night.
You should just leave.
I'm knowledgeable in medicine.
My only intention is to treat Song Qingshu's injury. I have no other motives.
Leader Zhang, this way please.
How's Senior Brother Song's condition? Let me go take a look.
His skull was crushed and his injuries are fatal.
Chances are he won't survive.
You know that I'm good at medicine. I'll do my best to save him.
Why do you want to save him?
I've let you down.
I feel bad about it.
Besides...
you showed leniency today and spared my life.
You were the one who first showed leniency.
It was obvious to me.
If you should save him, how should I repay you?
A life for a life.
I wish...
you'd show leniency towards my Godfather.
He's inside.
Zhiruo.
Madam Song.
Right, I can't be certain if I can save Senior Brother Song's life,
but can you let me try?
If you can't save him,
no one in this world can succeed either.
Even if he could survive,
his appearance and martial skills will never recover.
His brain has been injured due to the shock.
I'm afraid...
I'm afraid he may not be able to speak in future.
You're not a deity after all.
I know...
you'll do your best.
After you save him,
you can go and be your Prince Consort with a clear conscience.
Saving a life is more important.
Leader has been gone for such a long time. Why isn't he back yet?
Brothers, shall we go look for him?
No need!
He'll be back when the time comes.
How would you know?
You...
You know it too?
Don't worry.
If you lack the confidence to save Hero Xie.
I won't have the confidence either.
Even you cannot break through their formation-- I'd be totally helpless.
We should have a chance if we join forces.
I can use my extreme Yang force to tie up the three monks' long whips.
You can use your Yin force to move in.
Once you enter the Evil-Subduing Ring, we can definitely succeed if we attack from both sides.
You and I once had a wedding agreement.
Now my husband is on the brink of death.
And I've already granted you leniency today.
People will say I still have feelings for you.
If I were to seek help from you,
then the world's heroes will curse me as a shameless and flirtatious woman.
But our conscience is clear! Why worry about what others say?
What if I have a guilty conscience?
Leader Zhang,
you and I are all alone here this evening.
It will naturally arouse criticism. You should leave now.
Madam Song.
You have always treated me kindly since I was young.
I just hope you can grant me one more favor.
As long as I live, I will never forget your kindness.
Senior Sister,
see the visitor out.
Zhang Wuji, Leader is asking you to leave. Why are you lingering?
What a shameless fellow!
Madam Song, please take pity on me.
There's hope for Song Qingshu?
You used my Black Jade Dipsacus Cream to play the good guy again?
At this time, his recovery is still uncertain.
You want to save Song Qingshu's life in exchange for Hero Xie's.
But you're making things worse.
You don't understand her feelings at all.
What do you mean? I don't understand
By spending your efforts to save him, it means that...
you did not spare any thoughts for Sister Zhou's affection toward you.
Just think... will she be awfully upset now?
Why?
You just saved his life but now you're regretting it?
Everyone, everyone...
Yesterday,
Emei Sect's Leader, Madam Song, upstaged all the heroes here.
Today, we'd like to invite Madam Song back again.
If she can defeat our three elders,
then she can take the captive, Golden-Haired Lion King, Xie Xun.
We'd all like to witness Madam Song's skill.
Look, Miss Zhou isn't wearing a mourning outfit.
Yes.
If Senior Brother Song made it through last night, his life probably is no longer in danger.
That's because my medicine is good.
Leader, please don't worry.
Right Envoy Fan and Shuo Bu De...
...have already led the Five Elements Factions and stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain.
If Emei Sect refuses to turn over Lion King Xie,
we'll have to resort to brute force.
Lion King Xie has many enemies. We have to watch out for secret weapons.
I'm afraid he'll refuse to leave with us.
What? I'm afraid he'll refuse to leave with us.
I'm afraid he II refuse to leave with us.
Prevent sneak attack. Follow the plan. I'm afraid he'll refuse to leave with us.
Prevent sneak attack. Follow the plan.
Yes.
Yesterday.
I was lucky to win due to everyone's concessions,
using our sect's secret skill that my late teacher taught me.
But today, if I have to compete against three opponents alone,
it would be unfair and disrespectful.
How about this?
Why don't I ask the recovering young lad whom I injured in yesterday's match to join me?
What does everyone think?
If Madam Song needs help, I have no objections.
Leader Zhang.
Are you willing?
I'll follow your instructions.
Leader Zhang, so you're back again today.
Sorry to bother you again.
Leader Zhang, is it true you were defeated by this Emei Sect's Leader yesterday?
That's correct.
That's strange.
Sister Yang, Sister Yang!
Our elders were all killed by them!
I know.
What is the background of this woman?
I only met her once before.
I don't know her name or background. I only know she is affiliated with the Beggars' Clan.
Let's get started.
"Most Honored One, having listened to this sutra,"
"receiving and retaining it with faith and understanding is not difficult."
"But in ages to come, in the next five hundred years,"
"if there is a person who hears this sutra, and receives and retains it with faith and understanding,"
"this person will be a rare and remarkable person."
"Such person is neither like me, nor any other person,"
"nor any living being, nor any immortal."
"Thus, such followers are like humans, like the non existence, and also the people."
Godfather!
Leader! Leader!
Quick, look.
Godfather.
Wuji! Godfather.
He's been rescued.
Let me go back! Wuji, don't...
Godfather! Let me go back! Wuji, don't...
Let me go back! Wuji, don t...
Forgive me for being rude.
Godfather, please sit here for a while.
Zhiruo, help me protect my godfather.
Zhiruo, no!
Hurry and check on the Lion King!
Lion King! Lion King!
Are you all right?
Vajra Evil-Subduing Ring!
Wait!
Amitabha.
Leader Zhang, you're free to go
Masters, sorry for my intrusion.
Amitabha.
Godfather.
How are you, Lion King Xie? Lion King?
Godfather, how are you feeling?
I'm all right.
Do you want a taste of Nine Yin White Bone Claw as well?
Young lady, wait!
Thank you, young lady.
I deeply appreciate you saving the lives of my son and me.
This Miss Zhou has committed many evil deeds.
One day she will receive her due punishment.
I beg that you let her off for now.
Golden-Haired Lion King has repented impressively fast.
As you wish then.
Thank you, young lady.
Amitabha.
Godfather, let's go.
Wait!
Is Shaolin a place where you can to come and go as you wish?
Cheng Kun!
Godfather, he is not Cheng Kun.
He is Cheng Kun.
Cheng Kun!
you can change your appearance but you can't change your voice!
I can tell that It's you as soon as you open your mouth.
Cheng Kun!
Come out! Come out now!
In the presence of all the heroes here,
let's settle all the outstanding resentments and circumstances!
Who's going to listen to such nonsense from a blind man?
He's indeed Cheng Kun.
A great man should behave aboveboard. Why are you concealing your identity?
It's him, it's him! What's going on?
Xie Xun.
You beast! How many heroes have died in your hands?
Today, you've attracted all these evil cult members to disrupt this peaceful Shaolin monastery,
and to make enemies of all the heroes.
Cheng Kun!
Heroes, listen to me.
All my martial skills were taught by this teacher, Cheng Kun.
But!
He was shameless.
After he failed to rape my wife,
he killed my parents and my wife.
He even smashed our baby, who was still in the cradle to death.
I'm asking everyone here, am I right to seek my revenge today or not?
You should seek revenge!
Stop all the commotion! You should seek revenge!
I really regret teaching you so many skills in the past.
I must put everything in order today and punish this traitor once and for all!
You unfilial disciple!
Godfather! Godfather!
How are you?
Wuji!
Don't!
Wuji, no.
Cheng Kun.
Your last blow...
...has completely severed our teacher-disciple relationship.
You!
You despicable animal!
Godfather!
Godfather, why aren't you fighting back?
Wuji.
With this blow, I have repaid his kindness for educating me.
Cheng Kun!
Cheng Kun,
whatever I owed you has been repaid,
from here on, I won't feel any guilt towards you.
Beast! I'm going to kill you!
Lion King!
Godfather! Lion King!
Don't panic. Once Cheng Kun is inside, he's as good as blind.
He's no match for your Godfather. You don't need to worry.
All right.
Godfather!
Evil villain, you are now blind.
Now you're a disabled person.
You will never be able to perform evil deeds again.
Godfather!
Godfather! Godfather!
Lion King!
Why did you do this, Godfather?
Why did you do this?
Cheng Kun...
you killed my entire family.
Today, I blinded your eyes.
I also personally crippled myself of the skills you taught me.
Hence, our scores are settled.
From now on, there will be no more grievances and I will have nothing more to do with you.
I, Xie Xun,
have committed many evil deeds.
I have never planned to live this long.
Among all the heroes here, if any of your kin or friends were harmed by Xie Xun,
please come forward and take my life.
Wuji, you are not to stop them,
nor can you take revenge.
That will only add to my sins.
Wuji,
my good child, move aside.
Godfather, I won't!
Wuji! Godfather, I won't!
Go.
Go!
Xie Xun, was my father "Flying Dagger" Yan Ling injured by you?
Indeed.
Your father was killed by me.
Go ahead and make your move, Brother Qiu.
Godfather.
Abbess, how should I address you?
I'm called Jingzhao.
Miss Zhou,
your plan to silence the witness by killing him is indeed a vicious move.
If you did not strike,
I would still have my doubts.
By taking this unnecessary step,
you've made me understand the sequence of events.
Let's go.
Leader Zhang.
I know you have many questions on your mind.
Don't you want to find out the answers?
Thank you for helping on numerous occasions.
Words cannot express my gratitude but there are still unfinished tasks.
The puzzling questions on my mind can wait to be clarified in the future.
Fine.
At this stage, you're still trying to save someone's reputation.
I shall take my leave.
Farewell.
Leader!
Leader.
Senior Brother, how are you holding up?
I am useless. I deserve death.
Amitabha, amitabha.
Junior Brother, it's all thanks to Benefactors Fan and Yan for rescuing me from the underground chamber.
Otherwise, we would never have had a chance to meet.
Amitabha!
All disciples, listen to my order.
Here!, All disciples, listen to my order.
Detain Yuan Zhen in the back hall.
We'll deal with him later.
Yes' We II deal with him later.
Get up! Get up!
Move!
Move, move!
Amitabha.
Godfather.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around!
My child,
your Godfather has been enlightened by the three abbots.
I've achieved supreme enlightenment, All the sins in my life have been absolved.
You should be sharing the joy with me.
Why are you feeling sad?
Godfather. Why are you feeling sad?
Wuji.
You shouldn't feel bad that I lost my skills.
Am I going to use them to carry out evil misdeeds in the future?
Godfather.
Abbot.
Amitabha.
The disciple Xie Xun has sinned greatly.
I hope Abbot will shelter me and grant me the tonsure.
Godfather!
Don't. Godfather!
Amitabha!
I will accept you as my disciple.
Reverend.
Masters Kong Wen, Kong Zhi and I will become disciple brothers.
I dare not ask for such an unexpected honor.
Excellent. Excellent.
You're my disciple, but you'll still keep your name, Xie Xun.
Do you understand?
Yes, I do.
The name Xie Xun is nothing but a delusion.
What is in a name if I already have no possessions?
Letting it go, you'll finally awaken to the truth.
Never again to fall into temptation.
Amitabha.
To all heroes.
I'm ashamed to say,
due to the sudden internal changes in our monastery, please forgive us for the lack of hospitality.
With all the heroes gathered here today, I don't know when we'll get to meet again.
What about this?
Why don't all the heroes come to our monastery and get some rest? How about that?
Amitabha. This way please.
My disciple, come with me.
Amitabha.
Godfather... Amitabha.
Godfather has already found his calling. Everyone should be happy.
Why is Leader Zhang still troubled and worried?
Yes.
Everything is settled, but...
I still have many unanswered questions.
Godfather left in such a hurry. I didn't have the chance to clarify some issues.
Earlier, the Yellow-Robed Sister was planning to clarify everything.
But..
someone was worried about Miss Zhou's reputation and refused to clarify in public.
That Yellow-Robed Sister and my Godfather...
...both claimed Miss Zhou was trying to kill the witness.
Could it be...
that she really was the culprit behind what happened that day on the island?
If it's not her, then it's me?
I think Godfather wasn't sure at that time.
But she had a guilty conscience and decided to kill the witness.
Actually, you knew everything all along.
Why didn't you tell me?
Would you have believed me?
Someone didn't trust me at all back then.
How could I explain myself?
Besides, there were many key points that I couldn't figure out as well.
I'm glad the truth has come out.
The most important thing at this moment is to recover the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
Report!
Leader Zhang, Miss Zhao, Sister Yang asks you over.
Let's go.
Yellow-Robed Sister.
Leader Zhang valued the old friendship and refused to disclose Miss Zhou's conspiracy in public.
But Leader Zhang, are you interested in finding out the intricacies of this perplexing mystery?
If you can resolve my puzzlement, I will forever be grateful.
This is a long story.
We should start with the origins of the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
Leader Zhang, do you know how this sword and saber came about?
My Grand Teacher mentioned these words to me before.
"The most exalted in the pugilistic world -- the Dragon Saber,"
"When it commands, none shall disobey."
"If Heavenly Sword does not come forth, who can be its match?"
These words were not in existence during his younger days.
I think the sword and saber should have surfaced only within the last few decades.
You're correct
The owners of the sword and saber were Guo Jing and his wife Huang Rong.
You mean the Hero Guo and his wife, the protectors of the city Xiangyang?
Exactly.
Jingzhao has been incompetent. Please punish me.
Go out first.
Yes.
From now on, since you are the leader of our sect.
I will now disclose the big secret of our sect.
Our sect's founding Master Heroine Guo.
...was the younger daughter of the late Hero Guo Jing.
Hero Guo has a highly regarded reputation and his martial arts was outstanding.
He had two outstanding accomplishments during his lifetime.
One was a book on the art of war, another was his martial arts.
Hero Guo's wife, Heroine Huang Rong, was extremely intelligent.
She saw that the Yuan soldiers were very strong and the city of Xiangyang could no longer be defended.
She and her husband were determined to give up their lives for the country.
That was their desperate but honorable dedication.
But...
if Hero Guo's two accomplishments were to thus become lost, wouldn't that be tragic?
Therefore.
Heroine Huang Rong employed highly skillful craftsmen...
...to melt down the heavy black steel sword that was a gift from Yang Guo to our Founder Guo.
By adding western wrought gold, the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber were forged.
So the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber were the work of our sect's founding master Heroine Guo Xiang's mother.
During the process of making the sword and saber,
two pieces of the black steel plates were embedded inside the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
An address was carved onto these two black steel plates.
The address indicated Heroine Huang and Hero Guo's hidden location of the books.
Hero Guo has a book on the Art of War called the Book of Wumu.
That was the work of Yue Wumu from the last dynasty. ( Yue Wumu refers to General Yue Fei)
There were also two other martial manuals.
One was the Nine Yin Manual, and the other was the 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms.
Mister and Madam Guo's outstanding martial arts skills originated from these two manuals.
Heroine Huang hid the two manuals and the art of war book somewhere in Xiangyang city.
And the information of the hidden location was embedded inside the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
So their wish was to let their descendants learn the martial skill one day,
and to use it to uphold justice and serve the people.
I want you to use your beauty to manipulate and retrieve both sword and saber.
Even though this tactic is clearly against virtuous behavior,
to accomplish great deeds we have to disregard mundane moral ethics.
Considering that now the Heavenly Sword is in the hands of that woman Zhao,
and the Dragon Saber is with Xie Xun,
if they decide to join forces for evil deeds,
what will then happen to all the people?
They will be plunged into an abyss of misery.
How many of innocents will be killed?
When can we accomplish the mission of expelling the foreign invasion?
Zhiruo, I realize the difficulty of this task.
I really can't bear to let you shoulder this but...
I am a practitioner of martial arts, But now, who can I pass on my whole life's martial knowledge?
I am begging you.
Do it for the sake of all the people.
I...
I'm begging you for the sake of the people.
Teacher, Teacher.
Will you agree or not?
I will not get up until you agree.
Teacher, Teacher...
Teacher, please get up quickly.
That means you've accepted.
I thank you on behalf of all the people.
All right, now listen carefully.
Once you obtain the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, find an obscure place.
Hold the saber and sword separately in each hand.
Both the saber and sword will break instantly once they collide.
You can then remove the black steel plates which are embedded inside.
Follow the instructions on the plates and retrieve the art of war book and the martial manuals.
This is the only way to obtain the manuals.
Once you've obtained the manuals. both the saber and sword will be destroyed.
Can you remember all of this?
Good!
