♫ 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

Good,
After you obtain the book on the art of war,
choose a kind hearted and patriotic gentleman, and give him the manual.
Make him promise to help you eliminate the enemy.
You can practice the martial arts manual on your own.
The 18 Dragon-Subduing Palm is too bold and quick,
it's not suitable for you.
You can practice the Nine Yin Manual.
But, according to my Teacher, who relayed the last words of our founder Guo.
The Nine Yin Manual is extremely profound and should not be taken as a crash course.
But Heroine Huang Rong because of the urgency of the situation,
thought that the earlier they could accomplish the mission, the earlier people could be saved.
So...
she wrote down a few shortcuts in the manual.
But you must remember, once the mission is accomplished,
you must rebuild your foundation by learning it the proper way all over again
The shortcut...
...was invented by Heroine Huang Rong as a stopgap measure to deal with urgent matters at hand.
It's definitely not earth shattering martial arts.
You must always bear this point in mind.
I can be at ease now.
Teacher.
That means,
it was Miss Zhou who took away the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber.
Right.
After Hero Guo and his wife died for the country, the Nine Yin Manual was lost.
At the duel today,
the martial arts Miss Zhou executed were from the Nine Yin Manual.
In her haste to master it, she did not build up her foundation properly.
So even though it is a malicious skill that can be learned quickly,
it can never reach the epitome of superior martial arts.
She may be able to defeat Second Hero Yu and Sixth Hero Yin,
but it's only because her extremely weird moves...
...gave her the advantage of a surprise element.
Then how did she find out about the secret in the weapons?
It must be at Wan'an Temple
Abbess Miejue knew her end was near so she told Miss Zhou this secret.
She wanted her to retrieve the weapons to get the martial arts manual.
Later, on the island...
What should I do?
Teacher!
So it's really...
That means,
her martial arts have improved tremendously in the short span of a few months.
Your guess is correct.
After Miss Zhou got the weapons, she went to Peach Blossom Island to retrieve the manuals.
Now that everything is clear, I should leave.
Thank you, Sister.
I hope you'll tell us your name.
So that I'll know who to thank daily in future.
Behind Mt. Zhongnan, the Living Dead Tomb.
The Condor Couple, disappeared from the pugilistic world.
What's that?
Sister Yang!
Would Leader Zhang please try your best to help with the matters of Beggar's Clan!
I will!
Thank you!
Everyone, listen to me!
The Dragon Saber and the Heavenly Sword are on their way back.
I know...
everyone wants to see these oft-talked two weapons for the last decade,
Our Leader have sent our Ming Cult members to await their arrival.
They'll be here soon.
Please wait patiently.
Heroes!
Please bear with us!
Since our Leader has agreed, we'll surely keep the promise to let everyone have a look at the weapons.
Wuji-gege.
Sister Yang left you that thing?
What can it be?
Sister Yang got it from Miss Zhou.
All the mysteries can be unraveled with this.
I dare not open it up.
Why not?
It's because you are afraid it's proof of Miss Zhou's wrongdoings?
Or is it because... you still can't forget your feelings for Miss Zhou?
If I leave...
you'll still go and look for Miss Zhou?
You may have saved Song Qingshu s life,
but he's already an invalid.
There's no guarantee you won't go and find her a few days later.
You'll live happily ever after.
Then...
then you'll forget all about me.
You won't even think of me.
Min- mei.
I only want to live happily ever after with you; it'll never change.
With you by my side,
it's the happiest thing that can happen to me.
I'm just worried...
what other strange things may appear from this little bag,
that destroy our peace and joy.
Do you understand?
Then we shall not see it.
Just burn it later?
Sure.
Do you know?
I feel that we're doing quite well now.
Heaven has already been very kind to us.
It'll be perfect if there are no changes.
No.
There must be some change.
We still have to get married and have babies.
Who will they resemble?
Half like me and half like you.
I only ask that you'll always be true to me.
Why don't we open it up for a look?
Wait.
Just one look.
You really want to look.
Fine.
That's...
That's my Ten Fragrance Body Weakening Powder!
Nine Yin Manual?
"Book of Wumu, Nine Yin Manual,"
"are the call to rout the enemy and to protect the people."
So after Zhiruo retrieved the metal maps from the Dragon Saber and the Heavenh Sword,
she went to Peach Blossom Island and found the Book of Wumu and the Nine Yin Manual.
No wonder Sister Yang could find out from Zhiruo where the weapons are.
And she got this Ten Fragrance Body Weakening Powder from Zhiruo.
That means,
on the island that night, the missing weapons, the mass poisoning,
the escape of Zhao Min, the murder of Zhu'er--
they were all Zhiruo's doing.
Zhiruo, oh Zhiruo!
Why did you do that?
Leader!
Leader! Leader!
They're back! Let's hurry and have a look! Let's go!
Leader, we've retrieved the objects according to your orders.
So Miss Zhou's astounding martial arts came from this sword and saber.
Leader, I used to be a blacksmith and I've learnt how to make swords and sabers.
Please let me try to see if I can mend these precious sword and saber.
If it's impossible, don't force it.
Leader.
Banner Bearer Wu's sword smith-skills are second to none. There's no harm of letting him try.
It's indeed a pity for these two excellent weapons to be broken.
Then will Banner Bearer Wu please try.
Yes!
Start the fire, cast the saber!
Cast the saber! Cast the saber!
Master. I' ve found the two treasures cherished by the whole martial world.
I' ve returned the Heaven Sword to its owner, the Emei Sect.
This sabre was repaired by Mr. Ng of our sect with his own blood.
It used to belong to my godfather.
But since he' s joined your sect,
I think you should own this sabre.
No. We can' t accept it.
This sabre has changed hands many times.
And finally, it' s your people who brought it back through great efforts.
What' s more,
it' s repaired by Mr. Ng of your sect.
Now the whole martial world would like to submit to you, Lord Chang.
So due to your awesomeness, Mr. Chang,
we all agree that it' s right and proper for you to own this sabre.
Please accept it.
Come on. Just accept it...
Right. Accept it, Mr. Chang...
I' ll accept this sabre
to unite the whole martial world
and resist our common enemy.
Thanks, everyone.
"The Dragon Sabre reigns supreme."
"The whole martial world shall obey its owner."
"The Dragon Sabre reigns supreme."
"The whole martial world shall obey its owner."
"The Dragon Sabre reigns supreme."
"The whole martial world shall obey its owner."
"The Dragon Sabre reigns supreme."
"The whole martial world shall obey its owner."
Godfather has been imprisoned here for so long.
I wonder what it's like down there.
Min-mei, shall we go down for a look?
Godfather listened to the sutras chanted by the three reverends daily, and became enlightened.
He ultimately became a monk.
So it seems that Cheng Kun kidnapping your Godfather may not totally be a bad thing.
At that time, he made false markings along the way to lure you on a merry chase,
before you knew he was at Shaolin.
And my countless attempts to rescue Hero Xie were unsuccessfu,
In the end you were unable to get married.
I'm such a great sinner.
Min-mei.
I've let you down.
If it wasn't for your quick wits,
and the muddleheaded Zhang Wuji really killed you,
what should I do?
Could you bear to kill me?
You were so certain I was the murderer.
So why didn't you kill me when you saw me?
To tell you the truth,
I can't stop myself from falling for you.
If you've really killed my cousin,
I'll really be at a loss.
Luckily...
Luckily the truth is now out.
Although I feel sad for Zhiruo,
I can't stop the joyous feeling in my heart.
Look.
This dungeon...
Does it look like the dungeon I trapped you in at Green Willow Manor?
Let me out!
It itches!
Let me out of here! It itches!
It itches so much!
I won't let you out!
You're a man, yet you're bullying a weak woman like me?
You call yourself a weak woman?
You.. are so cunning.
Even ten men are not your match.
Thank you for your praises, Leader Zhang, I do not deserve it.
Aren't you afraid I'll tickle your soles again?
I'm not afraid!
You two old fogeys, who do you keep coming after me?
Madam Song, let us look at the martial manuals in the Dragon Saber.
Let's go have a look. Madam Song, let us look at the martial manuals in the Dragon Saber.
There was a manual.
Come! There was a manual.
But I destroyed it after I mastered it!
Quick, fight back!
Zhiruo.
Are you all right?
Zhang Wuji!
Xuan Ming Elders! Why are you so shameless?
And I thought who would be so audacious to interfere.
So it's Great Leader Zhang!
Where have you abducted our Princess?
Who has been pining for me day and night?
Aren't you afraid my Father will be angry, Mister Lu?
Miss Zhao.
Look after Miss Zhou.
Come.
The sight of these two old fogeys infuriates me.
Let us have a good fight today.
Are you all right?
Careful!
Hurry, let's go have a look.
Are you all right?
Is it bad?
I'll help you to the side.
How do you feel?
Rest here first.
Wuji!
Wait!
Leader Zhang, Miss Zhou is so vicious.
She's now passing the cold poison to Her Highness.
How vicious is that?
Zhiruo, no!
Don't let him interfere and save her. Kill!
You...
Why did you hit me?
No, it wasn't me! It was...
Are you trying to keep the manual for yourself?
Are you mad? Why are you hitting yourself?
Stop hitting! I'm going to hit you!
Min-mei, how are you?
Cold... Min-mei. how are you?
Why are you hitting me?
You want to keep the manual for yourself?
Don't run! I'll fight it out with you!
Junior Brother, I don t!
Don't run! Junior Brother, I don't!
It's that Zhang Wuji's tricks!
I didn't mean to hit you!
Can't you tell what's good for you?
Come
You did hit me! Come.
Stop chasing me.
Min-mei.
You've not recovered, why are you outside?
With Leader Zhang treating my injuries, of course I recover fast.
Right...
If not for Miss Zhou ambushing you.
I would have taught those Xuan Ming Elders a good lesson.
Make a guess, what are these?
I'm not guessing.
I'll never get the correct answer to your guessing games.
So I'll spare myself the trouble.
There's another one...
You got this from Miss Zhou?
When she couldn't move,
how could I not pick her pocket?
I don't want to learn such vicious skills.
But stealing them to be destroyed is better than letting her do harm with them.
The skills written on this manual are indeed profound.
If practiced according to instructions, in less than 20 years,
the results will be astounding.
But skimming through the steps will only bring harm to self and others.
That Yellow-Robed Sister,
her skills are the same style as Miss Zhou's.
But hers is aboveboard and extremely pure.
Looking at it, she must have mastered it from this Nine Yin Manual too.
That day, she said something about..
"Behind Mt. Zhongnan, the Living Dead Tomb. The Condor Couple, disappeared from the pugilistic world."
What does it mean?
Why don't we ask Grand Teacher when we see him in the future?
He may understand the background.
Let me tend to your injuries again.
Come.
Song Qingshu cannot stay in Emei Sect,
lest Emei Sect's reputation is affected!
Junior Sisters, carry him away! Quick!
Senior Sister Bei, let's wait until Leader returns.
Yes. Senior Sister Bei, let's wait until Leader returns.
No! Send him back to Wudang now!
Listen to me! Send him back to Wudang!
Don't stop me! Send him back to Wudang quickly!
Hurry!
Leader look!
Senior Sister Bei, let's wait until Leader returns.
Hurry!
Senior Sister Bei! Hurry!
Send him away quickly!
Abbess, what are you doing? Send him away quickly!
What are you doing?
Let me look at his injuries.
Stop pretending to be concerned!
I'm telling you!
It is on account of our Leader's past relations with your Leader...
that he's here to tend to the injuries of this Song fellow.
This traitor!
He should have died long ago for betraying his sect; there's no need for a nun like you to keep nagging!
Shut up!
You stinking villain.
For generations, our Emei Sect's Leaders have always been pure and chaste women.
If Leader Zhou is not a chaste young lady, how could she have become our Leader?
Allowing a traitor like Song Qingshu to stay in our sect,
will only sully Leader Zhou's reputation.
Junior Sisters, carry that Song Qingshu out and send him back to Mt. Wudang!
Junior Sisters, carry him! Quick!
Abbess!
Miss!
Abbess!
Miss, what are you saying?
Isn't he your Leader's husband?
Would our Leader hold someone like him in regard at all?
She's just upset with that stinking fellow Zhang Wuji for his change of heart and abandoning her at the altar,
causing her embarrassment in front of so many heroes of the realm.
That's why she tricked that fellow Song Qingshu...
into becoming her temporary husband.
If she'd known this would happen, why would she want to accept this embarrassment?
Wait.
You mean Miss Zhou is not Madam Song?
I'm not talking to you!
Killed...
Killed Zhang Wuji yet?
Stop dreaming.
Still having wishful thinking on your deathbed?
Junior Sister Bei, since that's the case, please tell us the whole story.
How did my nephew Song ally Himself with Emei?
How is he really connected with your Leader?
I can then report to my Teacher in the future.
This matter involves both our sects.
Let's not spoil relations.
Since Sixth Hero Yin has said so,
for the sake of Emei and Wudang's reputation...
Fine.
I will let all heroes here know the truth.
With Young Hero Song's character and martial arts, he's considered a rare talent among pugilists.
But because of infatuation, he has degenerated into a debauched evil.
Our Leader seems to have also promised him that...
after the shame of her abandonment has been avenged and Zhang Wuji killed as a redress,
she would marry him.
That's why Young Hero Song joined our sect and learned the mysterious skill from our Leader.
On the day of the Heroes Meet when our Leader addressed herself as Madam Song,
I'm sure everyone was surprised.
Just that during the Heroes Meet, our Leader's prowess astounded the gathering,
leading to the defeats of the various sects...
Just a minute...
That's because our Leader gave in to her. Stop boasting here.
Exactly!
Still, our Leader won.
Emei Sect takes pride in this.
But. when night fell
all of us couldn't help but to ask Leader about the reasons for her being Madam Song.
Leader showed us her left arm and told everyone to look.
The Chastity Mark on her arm is still as red as before.
Our Leader is still a prim and proper virgin.
Leader said,"Calling myself Madam Song is just a calculated expediency."
"The purpose is to make that Zhang Wuji furious and take the chance to kill him off guard."
"For the sake of our Sect's reputation, my own reputation is not worth mentioning at all."
When each female disciple first joined the Emei Sect.
Teacher would place a Chastity Mark on our arm.
Every year, on the birthday of our Grand Teacher Guo, Teacher would check it.
That was how our Senior Sister Ji was exposed in the past.
Ghost! Ghost!
Why? What s happening?
I'll take a look.
Everyone...
Ghost! There's a ghost!
Don't come for me!
Zhiruo!
There's a ghost!
Zhiruo There's a ghost!
There's a ghost1 Zhiruo!
A ghost! Zhiruo!
How can there be ghosts? What did you see?
A ghost is after me! Don't be afraid, Zhiruo.
Wuji-gege...
Is it you?
It's me, Zhiruo.
What did you see?
Why are you so afraid?
Wuji-gege...
Is anyone chasing me from behind?
Chasing you? Who's chasing you?
Xuan Ming Elders?
No! Is there really no one behind me?
Zhiruo, why would there be ghosts?
Is it because you're tired and seeing illusions?
No, I didn't. Is it because you're tired and seeing illusions?
I saw it three times today!
What did you see three times?
Wuji-gege...
The Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber...
I stole them.
Miss Yin...
Miss Yin was killed by me.
Hero Xie...
I sealed his acupoints.
I... I did not marry Song Qingshu.
I...
I don't know what has happened to me either.
I've harmed all of them, Wuji-gege.
I didn't mean to harm them,
from the beginning to the end you're the only one in my heart.
I've really let you down, Wuji-gege.
Zhiruo.
I know all these.
But...
But why must you do that?
But you do not know...
what my Teacher told me at the pagoda in Wan'an Temple.
She told me a great secret about the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber!
She wanted me to obtain these precious weapons and glorify Emei.
But..
But she also wanted me to take a deadly vow.
She wants me to pretend to like you.
She would not allow me to really fall for you.
Zhiruo.
Tell me, what did you really see to make you so afraid?
What did you see?
That vengeful spirit is clinging onto me.
Anyway.
I've committed numerous sins.
I deserve such retribution.
I'm telling you the whole story today.
I know my end is near.
Zhiruo!
Min-mei.
Min-mei!
These Shaolin monks are still chanting sutras.
Are they performing religious rites to help the departed souls from the Heroes' Meet?
Zhiruo?
It's her.
I guess she must be greatly remorseful of what she's done.
She has really harmed too many innocents.
Miss Yin, please rest in peace in Heaven.
Don't disturb me again.
Namo Amitabha.
You!
You... you're here again!
Zhu'er!
Zhu'er?
Zhu'er!
Its her
lt's her!
No wonder her silhouette looks familiar!
So it's really Zhu'er!
She's not dead.
She's really not dead!
Zhiruo.
Zhiruo, Zhiruo!
Zhiruo!
Zhiruo.
Zhiruo?
Ghost! Ghost!
Ghost! There's a ghost!
This is really strange. Don't be afraid.
Ghost! This is really strange. Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid. The many reverends here will surely help you atone for your sins.
Wuji-gege.
No...
Leader Zhang.
What I saw earlier...
was it really her?
Who did you see?
Miss Yin.
My cousin, Yin Li.
Zhiruo.
Zhiruo! Zhiruo!
Ghost! Zhiruo, listen to me.
Listen to me!
She...
She's not a ghost, she's a human.
Zhiruo.
Zhiruo, don't be afraid.
She's a human, not a ghost.
She's a human.
She's not a ghost?
I followed her all the way to the Shaolin Monastery.
She was walking normally, she's definitely not a ghost.
She was walking normally?
Not a ghost?
Right.
Reverend Kong Wen, there's something I do not understand.
After a person dies, will he really become a spirit?
Matters of the netherworld are really difficult to ascertain.
Then how can Reverend perform the rites sincerely to appease the spirits?
Mercy, mercy. There's no need have rites to appease spirits.
People die but leave behind their deeds. Good and evil will have their respective recompense.
The way of Buddhism is for the living to find peace in their heart.
We're performing the rites for the living.
Thank you for your guidance, I feel really bad for disturbing you so late at night.
Please forgive me.
Leader Zhang, no need to stand on ceremony.
You are Shaolin's benefactor.
You've saved Shaolin time and again from calamity.
Don't stand on ceremony.
Reverend, I take my leave then.
Let's go.
In that case,
let's part ways here.
Wuji-gege!
Wuji-gege, I'll leave with you.
Sure.
Come.
Wuji-gege.
We met for the first time at the Han River in the past.
Reverend Zhang saved me then.
If I'd known that there'd be so much suffering in the future,
it would have been a lot simpler if I'd just died in the Han River.
What joy is there in living; what bitterness is there in death?
Pity those who have so much worries.
Reverend Zhang sent me to Emei Sect for my good.
But had he accepted me at Mt. Wudang,
and let me join Wudang Sect,
then the situation now would have been completely different.
Wuji-gege.
That day at Haozhou, when you were about to marry me,
why did you follow Miss Zhao when she called you?
Do you really love her a lot?
I was about to explain this to you.
Zhiruo.
Will you still blame me?
I've made a lot of mistakes myself.
There's only myself to blame.
Why would I blame you?
Everything in this world is full of misunderstandings and so unpredictable.
Don't be too upset.
Wuji-gege.
Tihere's something I want to ask you.
You must answer me truthfully without hiding anything.
Sure.
I won't hide anything from you.
In this world,
there are four girls who truly love you.
One of them is Xiaozhao who is now in Persia.
Another...
...is Miss Zhao.
Another one...
...is her.
If the four of us are all alive and well in this world and by your side,
who would you choose?
This...
I...
l'm just asking a hypothetical question.
Xiaozhao...
has gone to Persia and become their Sacred Maiden.
I...
I killed Miss Yin.
Amongst the four ladies,
only Miss Zhao is left.
If the four of us...
...are all by your side perfectly.
What will you do?
I've been pondering about it for a long time.
But I never got the answer.
But today,
I finally know who I truly love in my heart.
Who?
It's...
It's Miss Zhao?
That's right.
When I couldn't find her today,
I even felt like dying.
If I can't find her for the rest of my life,
my days on earth will be numbered as well.
Xiaozhao...
when she left me\,
I was very sad.
When my cousin died.
I was even more devastated.
But you...
the way you've turned out,
not only does my heart ache.
I also feel a sense of pity.
