Original subtitles

When Emperor Ning Zong ruled the Song Dynasty,

the northern territory was occupied by the Jins.

Over at the Kang Chuen frontier

lived two heroes.

One was Yang Tiexin,

great-grandson of Yang Zaixing who fought the Jins.

The other one was Guo Xiaotian, descendent of hero Guo Sheng.

They both excelled in their families fighting styles.

One day, coincidentally,

a taoist came to the village,

who was one of the famous seven Quan Zhen Taoists.

He was Qiu Chu Ji.

The three met and connected immediately.

Your Holiness, please come in.

This man is called Wang Dao Gan and was a villain and a traitor.

He conspired with the Jins last year

to invade our kingdom.

I chased him for more than 10 days and finally killed him.

The child is awake.

Dear, we have an honored guest.

Prepare some food and wine for our guest.

This should be a great dish for wine,

but your wife might be scared by it.

It'd be best to bury it.

I'll do it.

I'll also ask my wife to come here to pay her respect.

He has a loud and clear voice. He's special.

This is my son. That is the son of Brother Guo.

His child and our child are the same age.

When they grow up,

It would be great if they were also sworn brothers.

These kids do not have a name yet.

Would you kindly name them, please?

Sure!

I don't have much to give.

This set of swords is for the kids.

Guo Jing.

Yang Kang.

Brother, His Holiness wishes

the children to never forget the shame of the Jing Kang War.

I have business in Lin An and must depart now.

To become sworn brothers,

we need to exchange weapons.

Why not these swords?

His Holiness has great heroic qualities.

It's too bad we can't spend more time together.

Only the likes of him can claim to be true masters.

Let's practice a bit more.

Sure.

Don't rest in peace till we avenge Jing Kang's shame.

The prince of the Great Jin empire is here in the Song territory.

One of his followers, Master Wang Dao Jin,

was killed by an assassin.

If he is hiding here,

give him up and we'll spare your life.

Traitor!

Brother!

We're common people and know of no assassin.

Your Highness, look at this!

It looks suspicious.

Let's see what's beneath it!

Yes!

It's the head of Master Wang!

If they're not assassins, they must be accomplices!

Arrest them!

Search the house!

Go!

Brother Guo!

Don't move!

Go!

My husband...

Retreat!

It's Brother Guo!

We're too late!

Qiu saw the Jiangnan Weird Seven surround Guo's body,

misunderstood and began to fight them

and gained some advantage over them.

Stop! We're on the same side.

These are my late husband's friends, Weird Seven.

I heard that something had happened here.

So I came back.

Unfortunately, Brother Guo...

Who are you?

I�m Qiu Chu Ji.

Since you know Brother Guo,

why did you challenge us without exchanging words?

I saw you over his dead body

and acted hastily.

Although it was a misunderstanding, it still must be settled!

Both sides have agreed to a duel.

Qiu will look for the son of Yanga

and take him in as a pupil.

Weird Seven will teach the son of Guo,

and the to will have a duel 18 years from now to settle the score.

Weird Seven agrees to your proposal.

You must be Scholar Zhu!

I will go and seek out the Yangs.

After saving them, I'll teach their son.

You teach Guo's son.

In 18 years,

Let's meet at Drunken Fairy Restaurant at Ka Hing,

and let the kids fight,

and see whose pupil is the better fighter.

Well, how about it?

Deal!

Great! See you in 18 years!

Mrs. Guo, you can't stay here anymore.

We've killed Jin soldiers. lf the Jins don't come after us,

the corrupt Song officials will.

Where should we go then?

Let's go beyond the Great Wall!

Be patient and take it slowly!

The date of the duel is coming soon.

How can this dumb kid win?

His kung fu has not improved much these past few years.

Maybe it's our fault.

Jiangnan Weird Seven will have to admit defeat?

There is still some time.

I think

we're pushing ourselves too hard.

Each of us wants to teach him all our kung fu together at once.

He is not a natural, so it's difficult for him to absorb it all.

From today, we'll take turns teaching him.

Hopefully, he'll improve.

Jing has brute strength in line with my style.

Let me teach him first.

Jing, follow me.

Yes.

Let's take a look later.

Sure.

Master, what are these skulls?

Be careful! Looks like some masters of the dark arts

are practicing a malicious skill!

Master...

Show yourself!

I am invulnerable.

My navel is my only weak spot!

I never thought... I'd be killed by you!

Master!

Brother!

Fifth brother! Brother!

Jing, what happened?

Master brought me here to practice kung fu

and I found these three mounds of skulls!

A weird guy appeared suddenly.

He is great at kung fu but vicious!

In order to save me, Master...

Where's that fellow?

I caught him off guard and stabbed him

and he ran away with the sword in his belly.

What do those skulls look like?

All these skulls have five holes in the crown.

I saw with my own eyes...

When the weird guy struck, his fingers easily penetrated the skulls.

So they have succeeded!

What kind of kung fu is it? It's so fierce!

Jiao Yin Claw!

When I was young

and could still see,

the couple practiced Jiao Yin Claw

and were seen by us accidentally.

They were so vicious, so we intervened.

And they still blinded my eyes,

and killed my brother.

Then, they could only harm people's soft spots like the eyes and stomach.

But now, they can pierce through skulls easily.

Jing, the one you saw was a man?

Yes.

He's ''Copper Corpse,'' Chen Yuan Feng.

Now, Jing has wounded him! Whether he dies or not,

his wife, ''Iron Corpse,'' Mei Chao Feng won't let it go.

We can't stay here anymore.

This couple were

students of medicine master Huang of Peach Island.

Huang's kung fu is awesome.

The couple stole Huang's Jiuyin Sutra

and then escaped Peach Island.

Only a few years later, they stunned the kung fu world.

Jiao Yin Claw

is kung fu from the Jiuyin Sutra.

He is right.

Let's bury fifth brother and get out of here.

The date of the duel is coming soon.

It's about time for Jing to go back to Jiangnan.

What happened?

I can't make it!

The Jiuyin Sutra, we stole from our master,

it's on...on...

Where?

It's on my chest.

I think Mei Chao Feng should arrive soon.

You all should hide.

I'll be inside the coffin.

Mei Chao Feng is superior and full of vengeance.

We may need to rely on ambush to win!

Quickly!

Crafty dear, I�m holding the skin from your chest

on which you have tattooed the stolen Jiuyin Sutra.

What a brilliant idea.

This is the sword that killed you.

It has the killer's name on it.

Yang Kang

My beloved, I will find this Yang fellow

and kill him for you!

Come out, all of you!

Retreat!

Three steps in front of you!

Sir, have a good day!

Inside, please!

After young master arrives at the city,

The Odd Immortal, The Spiritual Wisdom, Dragon King

or whomever will not have any chance to show off his strength anymore.

You're right.

Many famous masters will gather there.

It is fortunate for us that young master has brought us here.

Indeed.

Damn you.

Be serious. Let's be on our way.

Waiter, the money is on the table.

We're leaving.

Okay. Have a good day.

Odd Immortal, Spiritual Wisdom and Dragon King,

they are among the worst villains around.

The young master these girls spoke of

is even more formidable!

They must be planning a major conspiracy.

That is likely detrimental to the Song regime.

We must make this our own business.

We cannot postpone the duel date!

Jing can go first.

That's right.

It's about time he had some practical experience on his own.

I...

You're grown up but still act like a child.

You go first. We'll be right behind you.

Have a seat!

"Patrons gather like clouds"

Go! And leave the bun!

Damn kid!

Thief!

Stop! I'll pay for it!

Will you join me?

Sure! I�m so bored on my own.

Just looking for some company.

Waiter!

Yes, sir?

You?

Do you think I am too poor to eat here?

I�m afraid even if you give me the best food

and wine, it won't suit my appetite.

Is that so?

We can offer you

whatever strikes your fancy.

But can you afford it?

You'll pay for whatever I order, right?

Sure! Of course!

Great! First of all, bring four of your best dry and fresh fruits!

Then two varieties of pickled fruits, and four dishes of conserves.

The dry fruits should be lychees, longans, dates and apricots.

The fruits must be freshly plucked from the trees.

Sour cherries and plums with ginger are for pickled fruits.

For sweets, candied grapes, rose-flavored kumquats,

peach and pear are required.

Boss?

Yes?

What's the matter?

There are still eight more items:

Small pigeons, duck's feet, chicken tongue soup,

deer's belly and canopy, fried cow's ligaments,

rabbit with chrysanthemums, and sweet-and-sour pig's feet.

Thank you and have a good day, young men!

May I have your name?

Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I�m Guo Jing.

How about yours, brother?

I am Huang Rong.

Which direction are you heading? lf you're going south,

we can travel together. What do you think?

I'm not going south.

Where's your home? Why don't you go home?

My father doesn't want me anymore.

He scolded me so I snuck out at midnight.

Your father must be missing you now. Where's your mother?

My mom died a long time ago. I never had a mother.

Go home after you have had enough fun.

My father doesn't want me anymore.

No, that's not true.

Then why isn't he looking for me?

Maybe he's still looking for you and just hasn't found you.

Brother, it's as if we've always known each other.

Take this coat with you.

Brother, what's wrong?

Big Brother, I'll be on my way.

"Yong Ding Gate"

"Marriage by duel"

Anyone, who can defeat my daughter

will be her husband.

So this is the lady?

I'll give it a try!

Please!

Please!

Go on! Fight already!

Good!

Pardon me!

It's not over yet!

Bravo!

Let me go!

You've won, please put her down.

Smells good!

Your name, please?

Never mind!

You won the duel. I'll keep my promise,

and let her marry you.

It was just for fun.

Marriage? No, thanks.

So, you just tried to insult us!

Dad!

This is wrong.

So what is right?

You should marry her.

I'm not wasting time with jerks like you.

Are you looking for trouble?

Go and get rid of that damn kid.

If an accident happens to the young master,

we're dead men!

Young master's kung fu is better. What's to fear?

Buddy, let's go!

Don't waste your time with this bastard!

The kid won't leave him alone. I'll take care of him!

Brother!

The princess is here!

The princess is here!

Young master, the princess is here!

Why are you fighting with others? Go home now!

Mom!

Just go home! Yes!

I am Mu Yi. This is my daughter, Nian Ci.

How about coming to my place for a drink?

Still running?

Stop!

Where can you run to?

Don't fear, I'll fight on your side!

Brother,

you can't defeat any of them!

If there's a chance, you should just run and escape!

We're in this together!

You still want to run?

Wait!

That person was Hell God, Sha Tung Tien.

You must be

the famous Leung Sin Yung.

Mr. Leung!

You flatter me. May I know your Taoist title?

You must be one of the famous seven Quan Zhen Taoists,

the renowned Iron Leg, Taoist Wang!

You're too kind. I am Wang Chu Yi.

We and the seven Quan Zhen Taoists are both renowned.

There is no grudge between us. Since you step in

for the kid, of course we won't trouble him.

However, since I travelled far to get here and am meeting a man of high esteem,

I would hope we could spar.

You must be Master Ling Tze from Tibet.

It is an honor to spar with you. But one strike only.

Okay, one strike only.

Admirable!

Let's pack up and return to the tavern.

Let's leave!

Nian Ci,

What I said just now happened 18 years ago.

I was seriously injured and passed out for a long time.

The Jin soldiers were gone.

I only saw the body of Brother Guo.

Guo's wife and son and my wife and son were not there.

I did not dare use my real name,

so I invented a new name.

Mu Yi is my fake name.

Then I adopted you as my daughter

and travelled all over the country with you.

Using ''Marriage by Duel'' as a front

and praying to the heavens

that I would see Brother Guo's son again.

Not expecting to stir up this much trouble today.

But I saw something strange today!

The Princess of Jin...

Sir, your letter!

I've found out that the group of villains we met today

are from Zhao's residence.

That lad is the son of Zhao.

I'll wait for you by the pond 10 miles west of the gate

and take you to Zhao's. Will you come tonight?

Little beggar!

How the little beggar tricked Sha Tong Tian today

I saw clearly.

His movements were strange, and he smells of evil.

You should be careful.

Taoist, you don't know Brother Huang. Perhaps that's why you say so.

Young fellow, you trust others too easily.

I have to go and find Brother Qiu.

Now I'll pass my inner powers on to you. Get on the bed.

Do as I say!

Your mind must be clear.

There should not be a trace of thought.

Your soul and spirit should be focused and your breath even,

and your inner power will naturally increase.

Brother Huang?

Brother Jing, come aboard the boat.

What? You don't know me anymore?

I am your ''Brother Huang.''

Don't you want to be my friend anymore?

You?

I am a girl! Only you call me ''Brother Huang.''

Get on the boat quickly.

Let's drink and enjoy the view here, okay?

I am such a fool. Sorry for mistaking you for a man!

I can't call you ''Brother'' anymore.

Just call me Rong-er.

That is what my father calls me.

You like dim sum,

so I brought some with me.

Oh no, it's crushed. Let me throw it out.

Please don't!

I love it.

My mom died when I was born

and no one's cared about me like this.

You are so lovely.

Why are you disguised as a beggar?

When I'm dressed like this, everyone is nice to me.

But that's not uncommon.

However, when I was disguised as a beggar,

you still treated me nicely. That's true kindness.

I want to go to Zhao's residence. Are you coming?

Zhao's residence? Sure.

"Residence of Prince Zhao"

The young master has arrived!

Why have you held us here? What do you want?

Please don't be angry.

I want you both to rest here for a few days

then return to your hometown.

In a year or so, I'll marry you!

Please ask your mother to come. We'll clarify everything with her.

My mother? She can't see you now.

Without seeing your mother, I won't listen to any crafty words you say.

Think about what I said.

Excuse me.

Father!

Mother.

You've molested that girl,

and now you hold her and herIfather here!

You'd better release them and apologize to them!

Mom, if they are released,

they might spread the news.

And in case Teacher knows about it...

What are you going to do?

I'll convince them to go back home

and wait for me for the rest of their lives!

Mom, I saw a wounded rabbit just now.

I brought it home. Please, nurse it.

That's my good boy.

This person plays tricks even on his own mother!

He is evil.

Not now, let's look around first!

Master Leung, the prince is waiting for you!

Master Ouyang from Bai To Shan is also here.

Spiritual Wisdom and Dragon King are there, too.

Why don't you feed the snake later?

I've spent the last 20 years

feeding this snake with potent medicine with precise timing everyday.

In the next couple of days, it will be finished.

I will kill it and suck its blood to greatly enhance my skills.

This can't be delayed.

Prince.

Good! Sin Yung is here.

Dragon King and Spiritual Wisdom are here, too.

Please sit at the table.

Please.

Help yourself.

I'm fortunate enough

to have you here all the way from the western territories.

Nothing worthwhile here.

I know you want to save the father and daughter.

Go ahead. I'll wait for you here.

The reason for inviting you all here is

for a confidential matter.

The Great Jin empire is powerful.

It could have conquered the world by now,

but the Song still has half of the empire.

It's all because of General Yue Fei.

His war strategy is remarkable!

Although he's dead, I perused the old files.

I found out that he had

written a book in prison which contained everything he knew.

If this last work of his

falls into the hands of the Song,

it will be a disaster.

But if it's in mine,

the Great Jin empire can rule the world.

Where's the book?

It's in Lin An...

Shameless!

Shameless! Why?

Many versus one. Grown-ups bullying a child!

Men bullying a girl!

Oh, it's you!

You'd been chasing after me all day without success.

Better give it up!

Let's have a contest, how about that?

Each of us takes three bowls of wine.

Whoever spills it first loses.

Ready.

Go! Hurry!

You've helped us again! May I know your name, please?

My name is Guo Jing.

Guo Jing? What's your father's name?

His first name was Sau Tien.

Your body is burning up. You must have been poisoned.

I've just bitten a snake.

Don't worry. I've got business to look after.

Let's go!

You lost.

You lost. I'm leaving.

Hang on, young lady.

Don't pretend there is no other competitor here!

There's still me.

Who are you?

Ouyang Ke from Bai To Shan.

I've heard about Bai To Shan!

Wouldn't you like to see its martial skills?

You can attack and I won't hit back.

The snake is dead and there's a lot of blood!

You don't hit back and you can still beat me?

Then how can you tell who's losing or winning?

Let's fight within this circle.

Whoever steps out is the loser.

What if we both step out?

Then I'll admit defeat!

Rong-er!

You're good! Didn't expect you to take this!

Your palm is so hot!

Where have you come from? What have you eaten?

You drank my snake blood!

Brother Jing!

We haven't fought yet.

Okay.

You said if we both step out of the circle,

you lose!

So you can't step out and chase me!

Soft chain armor?

This is a treasure of Peach Island!

How does this girl have it?

Don't touch this spear.

It's my most valuable possession.

This spear was part of a pair,

but now only one is left.

You?

How come it looks almost the same as our old home?

I've asked them to move everything from home to here.

Look, here's the short sword.

I neverthought we'd see each other again.

You? How have you become the princess?

If it weren't for our child, I...

Mother!

Mother?

Don't be rude, Kang-er!

How dare he come here!

Kang-er. Come and greet your father.

Father is hosting guests in the Seung Suet Room! Why here?

He is your real father.

Don't you believe it, Kang-er?

Pay your respect first, and I'll tell you the whole story.

Kang-er,

he is your real father.

Don't you believe me?

I have suffered much waiting for this day.

But... but...

Mother! My love!

My love!

Scoundrel! You drank my snake's blood!

Then I'll suck yours!

Whoever comes in here will die.

Are you tired of being alive?

Someone is chasing me, and I came here accidentally.

You skunk! Let's see where you'll run to!

Who dares to stir up trouble here?

Thank you for saving my life!

Come here!

Lead me out.

You've learned kung fu. Who's your master?

I... I have seven masters.

The elder teacher is the Flying Bat. His last name is Ke.

Ke Zhen Wu?

You're from Mongolia?

You're from Mongolia? Yes.

Your name is Yang Kang, right?

No, my surname is Guo!

You recognize this sword, right?

Do you recognize me?

You're Mei Chao Feng!

Mei Chao Feng!

Stop!

Who are you?

''In the Peach Blossom shade flies the celestial sword.''

''From the bluish green tide forms the jade flute.''

My surname is Huang.

What's your relationship with Peach Island's master?

Good. You still remember my father.

He hasn't forgotten you either.

My sins have cost me my sight.

And I have made many enemies.

I've hidden here under the pretext of teaching the prince.

I live in a hole I dug for myself.

Master has known where I am?

Yes, my father is on the way.

Where is the master?

My father will be here any moment. Prepare yourself.

Let's go!

Taoist Qiu!

You are?

I met you 18 years ago!

You are Yang Tiexin?

I am just on my way for Kang

and have a lot to tell him!

Did you know that years ago

your wife was kidnapped by Wan Yan Hong Lie?

I know everything. I'm bringing her back.

Some troops are after us.

Follow me.

Years ago I chased the Jin troops to the capital of Jin.

Finally, I found the two of them.

All these years, I've been teaching Kang-er kung fu.

No wonder his kung fu is good.

But recently I've found

he seems to have learned some dark kung fu from someone else.

Whenever I've asked, he refused to talk.

Those troops have followed us here.

Master!

Master! Kang-er!

Come here. Your father is inside the house.

Ignorant kid!

Eighteen years ago,

Wan Yan Hong Lie wounded your father and abducted your mother.

You mistook a villain for your dad. You've been fooled for 18 years.

Now that your father's here, won't you acknowledge him?

My love, come home with me!

I will never go back there again!

What?

My husband is still alive.

I'll go with him to the edge of the world and never part!

Aren't you coming?

Master, don't listen to his nonsense.

You dare to deny your own father?

You animal! You're heartless and cruel!

Retreat into the house!

We are together again as husband and wife,

but don't let us jeopardize Taoist Qiu's life!

My love! My love! My love!

My love!

Everyone stop!

I'll die here with my wife!

Taoist Qiu, take care of yourself!

Brother Yang!

Daddy! Daddy!

Taoist Qiu!

You must have been invited by the prince of Jin.

Mr. Spiritual Wisdom and Hell God!

Taoist Qiu and we, the Jiangnan Weird Six,

still have a duel.

We won't let you ruin our fun.

Brother, do you agree?

Right, chase them away.

Fight!

Congratulations! You drank the snake blood,

and it has increased your strength.

Who knows how much power you've gained!

We better not run into Leung again.

Rong-er, sounds like my six masters are here.

Let's go and see.

I don't want to meet with your masters.

You go. I'll wait for you here.

Retreat!

Hold your steps.

Masters!

Daddy!

If not for the six of you, my life would be at stake.

But Brother Yang and his wife died tragically.

I have brought up such an unscrupulous pupil,

a far cry from yours.

I am ashamed.

I acknowledge defeat.

Jing, just now outside the house

you said that you saw Mei Chao Feng again.

And the girl whom you met on the way is the daughter of

the Master of Peach Island?

Yes, just by her few words

Mei was so scared she ran away.

She's the co-disciple of Mei.

You were good to her?

Are you just casual friends, or...

No! We are friends to the death!

Don't you know that her father will kill without blinking an eye?

Rong-er is so sweet.

I think... I think her father won't be that evil.

Jing-er! It's better to not ever see that evil girl again.

Okay?

Come on! Say that you won't see her again!

Say it!

Why are you forcing him?

Brother Jing, come out!

Rong-er!

Rong-er...

We have to do it this way.

What?

Let's go back and see my masters.

I'll hold your hands and tell my six masters that

you have been incredibly gracious to me,

and I will never be able to repay!

But Rong-er...

Rong-er is not an evil girl.

She is a very good girl.

Very, very good and sweet.

Death will not keep us apart.

That's right. At worst, it's only death.

Brother Jing, I'll always listen to you,

and will never part from you.

That's why I say you are very, very good.

Masters! Masters!

They're gone!

They're gone! Don't worry!

Your masters are Jiangnan Weird Six,

they must be going back to Jiangnan. Let's go, too.

Smells good!

Everything in Jiangnan is good!

Hey... Split it three ways. And save the chicken butt for me!

Kiddo, have a sip.

I don't drink, thanks.

Girl, want some?

Good.

Smells good! Smells good!

Smells good...

Tastes good! Tastes good! Tastes good...

Smells good...

I can't take it.

You two haven't eaten yet.

That's not right.

Tummy! Tummy! It's your lucky day to have such a delicious chicken!

To cook a delicious Beggar's Chicken

to satisfy the chief of beggars.

It is my honor!

What a nice girl!

This old beggar ate your delicious chicken.

Now I owe you a favor.

I've nothing to repay you,

this is...

It's nothing!

I have a few specialties I'd like you to taste.

Let's go to the next town together.

Good! That's great!

What's your name, sir?

My surname is Hung, and I'm the seventh in the family.

Call me Uncle Seven, kids!

Follow me!

Tastes good!

All right!

You've served me such good food!

I must repay you by teaching you some kung fu.

Follow me.

Now you two fight.

Come on! If Uncle doesn't know what you're capable of,

how is he going to teach you?

Watch out!

Hold it!

Your father's kung fu is so good!

Why do you ask me to teach this kid?

You know my father?

If you didn't know who I was,

why did you offer me such good food?

I saw that you only have nine fingers,

and then I realized that you're nicknamed the ''Nine-Fingered Beggar''!

Right! Yourfather is Eastern Evil, and I'm Northern Beggar.

Eastern Evil, Western Poison,

Southern King, Northern Beggar and the Pope

had a duel in Hua Shan 20 years ago.

We fought many rounds.

Who ultimately won?

Four of us lost to the Pope.

But he's dead.

And nobody knows where his brother, Zhou Bo Tong, is.

You look so dumb.

But your father-in-law is so smart.

He couldn't have liked you.

My father hasn't met him.

If you can teach him some kung fu,

my father will surely like him.

All right.

You go back to the inn first.

Such powerful strength.

My Dragon 18 Palms

is precisely suited to your condition

and your style.

I will teach you a move called ''Dragon shifts its body.''

Now gather all your strength in your palm

and strike as I did.

My lad, why are you shaking the pine tree?

To catch squirrels?

The strength of your palm strike is not weak.

But the movements of the pine tree dissolve your power.

You should hit the tree without shaking it.

Then you can break it off with a single strike.

You can't just use brute strength!

It has to be subtle and come from within.

If you use your power indiscriminately,

you will hurt yourself before you injure your enemies.

Hmm... not bad!

There is some good food coming!

Uncle Seven, his kung fu is better than mine.

Don't worry! After I eat, I'll teach you, too.

You are 10 times smarter than him.

You've mastered the hardest secret dart techniques

within three days.

How much kung fu have you learned from me this month?

Nothing as powerful as Dragon 18 Palms!

Dragon shifting its body.

Dragon in deep pool.

Dragon in the fields.

Dragon in the sky.

Dragon at war.

Dragon dives.

Dragon wags its tail.

Jing has only learned 15 palms.

I'll cook some more for you.

Teach him all the 18 palm techniques, please.

No, no, no. He has enough to practice.

I am leaving.

Uncle Seven! Uncle Seven!

Stop him! He's leaving!

There's no point in stopping him if he really wants to go.

Of the 18 palms you still have three more to learn.

The 15 Palms are good enough for me. I'm not greedy for more.

We should look for your six masters.

Jing, let's go and take a look at the house.

Follow me. Don't get lost.

I'm a big man.

What do you know?

This plantation here

is designed according to the ''bagua'' combination.

Like a maze. And it's my father's expertise.

This residence looks weird.

Maybe it has some kind of connection with my father.

That's why l have to go and have a look.

Have a seat, please!

I'm Lu.

Excuse me for not being able to stand.

You should be most welcome here.

But unfortunately I have an enemy

coming here.

That's why...

Who is the enemy? Although we don't know each other,

maybe we can help.

Mei Chao Feng?

Master Lu, don't be afraid!

Why are you so afraid of Mei Chao Feng?

Master, the Jiangnan Weird Six are here.

My masters are here.

You are the student of the six heroes.

Welcome!

Master!

Jing-er!

Jing-er! You are here, too!

Where's the evil girl?

Big Brother, greet the host first

and talk about other things later.

All right.

All right. Have a seat, please.

We've heard the news that Mei Chao Feng

has been appearing around the Tai Lake area.

So we've come all this way to visit you

to see if you've got more news...

She said she'd be here at noon to stir up trouble!

I'm afraid she's already here!

Master.

Where's Lu Cheng Feng?

Where's Lu Cheng Feng? Your younger brother is here.

How are you, Sister?

Can't you see that I'm blind?

Your Brother Yuan Feng was also killed!

If it wasn't for you, always wanting to

bring us back to Peach Island

to win favor with our master,

we wouldn't have ended up like this.

Who else is here?

Jiangnan Weird Six.

Let your pupil fight!

It's you.

How can I fight with some nameless junior?

Chen Yuan Feng was killed by me.

Who else should you fight if not me?

It's only been half a year since we parted at the Zhao residence!

From whom did you learn this kung fu?

Your kung fu is superior to his

if it weren't for your lack of eyesight.

Go back and fight and I'll use my ''springing fingers'' technique

to spring out stones to indicate the direction of his attack.

Then you can definitely win.

Yes, Master.

Who's that?

His kung fu looks to be way beyond Mei Chao Feng's.

Jing-er, come here.

You kid!

You were using Dragon 18 Palms to attack me.

If the news of my being beaten by the old beggar's student spreads around,

I will have disgraced my master at Peach Island.

Come on! Let's fight another round!

Father, what happened to your face?

Master Huang!

Shing Feng, you look good!

Arise!

At that time when Mei Chao Feng and Chen Yuan Feng

stole my Jiuyin Sutra,

I was wrong to have paralyzed both your legs

and expel you from Peach Island.

I blamed you unjustly.

Master! How are you?

At least I haven't been driven mad by someone.

Father, I hope you don't mean me!

You are part of it!

Father, they are the famous Jiangnan Weird Six!

Masters of Brother Jing!

I won't meet strangers!

Let's go home!

Chao Feng!

I deserve death!

Where's the Jiuyin Sutra?

When I was at the Zhao residence, Rong said Master was coming.

Out of this sudden shock, I lost it.

Guo must have taken it!

I didn't take your Jiuyin Sutra!

Get out of here now!

My pupil, Chen Yuan Feng, was killed by you.

You are damn good.

My kung fu was quite poor!

That's why Master Chan was accidentally

wounded by me.

A Peach Island pupil can be wounded by an outsider?

Father, he's a simple-minded person.

Don't be so furious!

Strike, I'll counter your Dragon 18 Palms!

I won't dare fight with a senior like yourself.

Fight with me?

Actually you aren't worthy to spar with me.

I'll stand still here.

If I move,

you win.

I don't dare.

You must.

Father, if you wound him,

I'll never see you again!

The six of you better kill yourselves

before I make you suffer.

Suffer? We are not afraid of death!

I killed Chen Yuan Feng.

I'll pay for it with my life, that's all.

But I've yet to avenge my father's death.

May I ask for more time?

After my revenge, I'll go to Peach Island to claim my death sentence.

Who is your enemy?

The sixth prince of Jin, Wan Yan Hong Lie!

Master has set up mazes all along these woods.

Master has set up mazes all along these woods.

Please be careful and follow me.

You've seen how that evil father and daughter behaved.

I'm going to avenge my father's death and must part from my masters now.

This is for Brother Jing!

This is for Rong-er!

Taste good?

Delicious!

You weren't killed by my dad?

No, but I promised to return to Peach Island

as soon as I avenge my father's death.

It isn't that easy to kill the sixth prince of Jin.

I hear he has many men with good kung fu around him.

That night at the residence of Zhao, I heard that

they have big plans for Jiangnan!

If Wan Yan Hong Lie is here in Jiangnan,

I can kill him more easily.

No. Listen to me.

Let's go back to Peach Island first.

I have a way to help you with your revenge.

Isn't the scenery on Peach Island beautiful?

I've never seen so many

beautiful flowers in my life!

With the peach blossoms in March,

it's truly beautiful.

Father, Father!

Rong-er is back! Father!

Tomb of Peach Island Matriarch

This is where Rong-er's mother is buried.

Give it up!

Bastard, you've spoiled my plan!

You're the pupil of which of the seven Quan Zhen Taoists?

I'm Guo Jing!

Taoist Wang has passed on some of his inner power to me.

That's why!

I was a bit careless and

hadn't gathered my inner strength for defense.

I was almost wounded by Huang.

It's fortunate that you helped me.

The sound from Evil Huang's flute

has great inner power. It's quite formidable.

How come you are on Peach Island?

I offended Master Huang,

so I'm here for my death sentence.

Who else taught you kung fu?

The Jiangnan Weird Six

and the Nine-Fingered Beggar Hung!

Hung taught you kung fu, too?

What did he teach you?

Well, Dragon 18 Palms!

You know Dragon 18 Palms?

This is awesome.

Can you teach me? I'll call you master.

No, no, no...

Not so cool being that old beggar's pupil's pupil!

Here, push against my palm and let me try out your kung fu!

Who are you? Your kung fu is great.

Take a guess who I am.

The five greatest kung fu masters are...

Master of the Quan Zhen Clan is dead.

I've met Master Hung and the master of Peach Island.

Are you ''Western Poison'', Master Ouyang

or the Southern King Tuen?

Neither. My last name is Zhou.

You are Zhou Bo Tong!

Pupil apologizes for having been disrespectful.

My name is Zhou Bo Tong

and you addressed me as Zhou Bo Tong.

There is nothing wrong.

Come here!

Kid, let's become sworn brothers. What do you say?

You don't want to because I'm too old?

Oh, heavens!

All right! All right! Let's become sworn brothers.

Naughty Old Kid, Zhou Bo Tong and Guo Jing are here.

To become sworn brothers.

Sharing joy and sorrow!

Whoever breaks this bond will lose his kung fu

and won't even be able to fight against cats or dogs!

Master!

Big Brother.

What are you doing on this island?

It's all because of the Jiuyin Sutra!

Jiuyin Sutra?

I've heard about that.

The Jiuyin Sutra consists of two parts.

They're the most advanced secret skills in all martial arts.

Everyone has fought for it.

My brother got it.

Before he died,

he gave me the two parts of the Jiuyin Sutra with two conditions.

First, I'm not allowed to learn it.

Second, I can't give it to others.

I carried it with me

and bumped into Evil Huang.

He wanted to steal it?

Evil Huang was too proud to rob it.

At that time, he was with his new wife.

He said his wife didn't know kung fu, but she wants to take a look.

I only let her look at the second part.

But his wife is so clever

and has a photographic memory.

I was so mad that I destroyed the second part.

Rong-er is clever, too!

Not long after Evil Huang got the Jiuyin Sutra,

it was stolen by his two students.

Chen Yuan Feng and Mei Chao Feng!

Evil Huang was furious!

His wife wanted to dictate it again

but she couldn't remember its entirety!

She was over-exhausted and died from dystocia in childbirth!

Evil Huang vented his anger on me.

Imprisoned me and forced me

to hand out the first part of the Jiuyin Sutra.

His woods are full of weird mazes

so I can't get out, and I can't beat him, either.

But his kung fu is not much better than mine, either.

So he cannot subdue me.

That's why we have been stalemated

for almost 15 years.

If not for you,

he would have succeeded.

It must be Rong.

In these 15 years,

Evil Huang sent me food on schedule every day.

I'm never short of food.

Where's Miss Huang?

They are criminals caught by Evil Huang.

Then he cut out their tongues and made them serve on the island.

Be patient. I'll find a way to save you.

Brother, be patient.

I'll teach you some kung fu after our meal.

Have some.

Although you've learned some kung fu these past few days,

you still can't beat me!

My brother forbade me to learn kung fu from the Jiuyin Sutra,

but I'll teach you.

It won't be breaking my brother's rules.

No, I don't want to learn it. I won't be able to!

You have to, even you don't want to!

I'm not learning it!

Where did you get this?

It's a piece of leather in which Mei Chao Feng used to wrap the sword.

I saw some strange words that I didn't recognize.

I thought there must be something to it, and kept it.

You really don't know what they are?

Brother, I would never lie to you.

Never mind. It's nothing important.

I've been on this island for 15 years and

invented quite a number of styles. I'll teach you all of them.

I'm afraid I won't remember them all.

Don't worry. To start, I'll teach you some mnemonics.

After memorizing them, you can start practicing.

I'm not smart. I'm afraid I won't be able to!

You're not allowed to not memorize them!

Recite it ten thousand times a day!

How can you forget?

Listen up!

Heaven knows the loss, the surplus and the inadequate.

Rong-er.

Western Poison, Ouyang Feng, sent someone here

to arrange a marriage for his nephew.

I accepted it.

Father, I won't get married!

Nonsense!

That dumb kid and Zhou Bo Tong sure make a good pair.

To choose being reduced to ashes, aeration is for the soul.

Apotheosis is for Heaven; it's for topmost three flowers.

Good job, brother! One month's hard work has been worthwhile!

You've finally memorized all the mnemonics I taught you!

Brother, there's no point in memorizing

all of them without understanding what they mean.

You start with memorizing them.

Gradually, you'll come to understand them.

Let's try some tricks.

Good! What tricks?

Four-man fighting!

Four?

Right! Four!

My left hand represents a man.

My right hand represents another.

Both your hands represent two men.

Neither of them help each other.

The four fighting against each other must be loads of fun!

I know it'll be fun,

but I don't know how to have both hands fight separately.

Then we start with three.

Later I'll teach you how to fight with both hands separately!

Now you can fight with two hands separately.

And it is not bad.

Half a month's effort hasn't been wasted.

Think about this. Your two hands using different styles at the same time

is the same as two men fighting simultaneously, isn't it?

When confronting enemies, try this!

You'll have the great advantage of two against one!

Brother, this is a letterfrom Rong! Don't wreck it!

I know!

Brother Jing,

Western Poison arranged a marriage for me and his nephew,

and my father agreed to it.

It's fine. It's none of our business.

No, Rong-er is mine!

She must be going crazy now!

There are lots of kung fu that can't be practiced after marriage.

Listen to me.

Better off not getting married.

We can talk about marriage later.

But rescue her first!

Isn't it perfect to have the nephew of Western Poison

marry the daughter of the Eastern Evil?

Brother, come back! Recite the Jiuyin Sutra again!

No!

"Ji Tsui Pavilion"

"In the Peach Blossom shade flies the celestial sword"

"From the bluish green tide forms the jade flute"

Ouyang from the western territory bows to the master of Peach Isand.

Greetings from son-in-law.

Wishing you well.

At ease.

Is my nephew worthy of your daughter?

Brother Huang, hard to imagine that you can have such a beautiful daughter!

Please! Have a seat!

What are you doing?

Father, you'd better kill me!

I'd rather die than marry this bad egg!

Your daughter just wanted to try out my nephew's kung fu.

Don't take it so seriously!

Jing!

Master Huang!

Stinky kid, what are you doing here?

Bravo!

Greetings to Brother Hung!

Greetings to Brother Hung! Thanks!

Master.

Old beggar, congratulations on such a good pupil.

Please have a seat.

Uncle Hung!

What business brings you to Peach Island?

I come to plead to you for one thing.

We've known each other for many years.

Whatever you ask, I won't dare reject.

Listen to me first before giving your consent.

It might not be easy for you.

If it were easy, you wouldn't have thought of me.

That's right. That's true brotherhood.

That means you consent?

Agreed.

If it's water, I'll enter water. If it's fire, I'll enter fire.

Wait!

Let's see what it is first.

It's none of your business.

Just get ready for a wedding banquet.

Wedding banquet?

Yes, both of them are my students.

I asked Brother Huang to allow them to get married,

and he agreed.

You are wrong!

His daughter has already been engaged to my nephew.

Is that true?

Yes! Please don't play tricks on me.

I'm not playing tricks on you.

Now your daughter is engaged to two men.

And both have the consent of the parent.

Me, I am the matchmaker for Guo Jing.

Where's your matchmaker bond?

Both of us agreed.

Why bother with the bond?

There's one person who hasn't agreed.

Who?

Who? It's...

Me, the old beggar.

What's the point of forcing them to get married,

if they both can't get along with each other?

If they are stabbing and hacking away at each other everyday, what's the flavor in that?

You both have put me in a difficult position.

I'll test them with three questions.

My daughter will marry whoever answers better.

I won't favor either party.

Agreed?

What are the questions?

First, it's kung fu.

But it will harm the friendship if they fight each other.

So Brother Feng will try Guo's kung fu,

and Brother Hung will test your nephew.

That's a good idea!

Come.

Come. Wait.

I haven't finished yet.

The four of you will fight on top of the pine trees.

Whoever falls down first is the loser.

One more thing,

if either of you uses excessive force and injures the junior,

you will also lose.

I have never heard of this kind of rule before.

All right. As long as it is fair,

I will follow the rules. Let's begin!

Great!

What a great Dragon Wags Its Tail.

You taught your student well.

Guo wins this round.

Brother Ouyang needn't worry.

There are still two more rounds.

Yes.

The second round is a test of literary skills.

Father, you said it's a test of kung fu.

Why the literary skills now?

What do you know? You think the most advanced stage of kung fu

is simply one-on-one combat?

For people like us,

we can't have a duel as common people.

Here's my second topic:

I want you two to accompany the tune I play with my flute.

Both of you will break a branch off a tree

and keep the beat of my tune.

Whoever keeps better time will win.

If your two hands are fighting different styles,

it's just like two people are fighting simultaneously.

Thanks Master Huang for your leniency.

Good. Are you still calling me Master Huang?

Address him as 'father-in-law.'

Me?

Why are you kowtowing to me?

Rong-er asks me to do so.

In terms of inner strength, Guo is better.

But just now I also tested rhythm,

and Ouyang proved better.

This round ended in a draw.

Father, you...

This book belonged to my late wife.

Read it over at the same time.

And then recite it.

Whoever recites the most with the least mistakes will win.

And my daughter will marry him.

Evil Huang, you know that my student

is dumb with books and yet you ask him to recite a book!

This book has great meaning to me.

Jiuyin Sutra, Second Half In fact, my wife died because of this book.

I wish that her spirit in heaven

could choose her son-in-law herself

by giving her blessing.

This is bullshit!

You'd rather bring out a dead woman's story to scare us!

Shameless!

Come, let's go!

Brother Hung.

If you want to bully your way around here,

you still need a few more years of training.

Now what? You want to fight?

If you aren't well versed in Taoist magic, you'll never find your way out.

I'll burn down all your damn flowers and trees!

Just try it!

You...

Master Huang and teacher, please don't ruin yourfriendship!

I'll just take the test.

If I am not clever enough, then I deserve to lose.

Right. Go ahead. Make a fool of yourself.

I only taught you kung fu.

I never taught you how to recite!

When the juniors fight,

it should not reflect on our own kung fu skills.

But we haven't seen each other in twenty years,

your kung fu must have improved a great deal.

Maybe even surpassing mine!

Old Poison, you never say what you think!

If you said I was better,

then you must think you are better!

But I don't think so!

Let them recite their books and let us go a round. How about that?

Great. l'll give my life to a chivalrous man like you.

But l'm not a chivalrous man!

You'll give your life to fight with a beggar!

Their kung fu is at their pinnacle,

and it'll be difficult to determine who is the winner within a thousand rounds.

Please come here.

Sit down and don't play any pranks.

Who is first?

Me!

Guo, please stand aside first.

Heaven knows of the loss, the surplus and the inadequate.

So the triumph in reality is insufficient victory.

You think it's strange.

This old man's kung fu is called ''Toad.''

Save your words.

Therefore for hollow breath... when it lacks...

The form and spirit... harmony, regulate your breath

What? Can't remember anymore?

That means the body to be in perfect harmony.

Not a sound from mouth but a divine heart.

Not a fragrance through nose and the soul in...

in...

in...

lt's not bad that you can recite this much.

Your turn.

Heaven knows the loss, the surplus and the inadequate.

So the triumph in reality is insufficient victory.

Achievements may seem deficient but it's not so.

Something exultant may seem flushed but it isn't so.

So you breathe out the air in your lungs.

In such a way that it's hollow.

And then you will ...

Use the lungs instead of nose to breathe.

Stay relaxed and focus your spirit on spleen.

That's primarily what we know as the 'vital Qi.'

Dear wife, is your spirit really appearing?

To choose being reduced to ashes, aeration is forthe soul.

Apotheosis is for Heaven; it's for topmost three flowers.

The manual Mei Chao Feng lost

is in your hands?

I don't know where it is.

If I knew, I would definitely return it to Master.

You still call me Master?

Father-in-law.

I give Rong-erto you in marriage.

You have to treat her well.

Brother Hung!

Brother Feng!

You are six of one, half dozen of the other.

No need to fight.

Jing-er won this round.

He is the son-in-law chosen by my late wife.

I've nothing more to say.

Jing-er could really recite the book?

You've got what you want.

Look how giddy you are!
