Come, have a look. This is the cave

- Where's the village head? - He was here just now

He must have gone in to save the Golden Baby

- Let's go and help him - Yes

- Sir... - Sir, are you alright?

There's poison fog. Get back, everyone

Where is the Golden Baby?

lt's in the cave, surrounded by many poisonous snakes

- l couldn't find a way to save it - What should we do?

Let's just charge in and save it

No, you must not do that

There is a huge poisonous fog inside and snakes are everywhere

l almost couldn't come out lf you go in, you'll die

Sir, if the snakes kill the Golden Baby then we're going to starve to death anyway

Yes... Let's charge in

- No, calm down - You guys

Settle down

Let me help you. l'll go in

- You are... - They're just passers-by

Young lad, l'm grateful for your help

but we can't let you die for nothing on our behalf

Don't worry, with my internal strength

l should be able to withstand the poisonous fog

You shouldn't go in

Besides, your friend is hurt and needs your care

Go ahead Don't worry about me, l'll be fine

But...

l know you're a good man

lf you don't do this, you'll regret it for the rest of your life

Besides, l know you'll make it back alive

Sir, if l fail and don't come back

please take care of my friend for me

Brother Jing

lf you don't come back

l won't stay here either

You must come back, l'll wait for you

Young lad, you're doing so much for us

l don't know how to thank you l wish you all the best

Don't worry, l'll be fine

Please take care...

lt's taking him so long What's going on?

The young lad must be dead

No... Brother Jing will come back for sure

- Look, he's back - He's back

Young lad...

- lt's the Golden Baby - Yes

Young lad, you've saved our entire village

- l really don't know how to thank you - Don't mention it

- Hurry up and put it back into the sea - Let's do that

- Be careful - Golden Baby...

- Brother Jing - Rong-er

Golden Baby, please work your magic and drive the poisonous snakes away

For saving our village please accept our deepest gratitude

Please get up

lt's only right for us to do this since the both of you have been so selfless

Our benefactors, what are your names?

He's Guo Jing. l'm Huang Rong

Master Guo and Miss Huang

lf you don't find our lodgings too sparse

please stay with us for a few days and let us take care of you

Yes...

Thank you for your kindness but we have to be on our way

ls it because our village is too poor and not luxurious enough?

lndeed?

That's not what l meant We really need to be on our way

lf that's the case, let me send you off

Where are you going?

We need to see Master Yideng urgently

Master Yideng?

Sir, do you know him?

No, but l know where he lives Let me take you there

Thank you very much

- This way please - Farewell, everyone

- Farewell - Farewell

Why are you looking for Master Yideng?

We have an urgent matter

l understand

You need my teacher to help cure her

Sir, he's your teacher?

That's right. l think you should give up on the idea

because my teacher is dead

- Dead? - Yes

South Emperor Master Yideng is supposed to be a kind man

l didn't expect his disciple to be a liar

lf you won't take us there, forget it

Brother Jing, let's go

You can't go and look for him

Sir, she is the daughter of the Master of Peach Blossom lsland

and also the present Beggar Sect Leader

For the sake of Master Huang and Leader Hong

please take us to your teacher

- She's Beggar Sect Leader? - Yes

This is the Dog-beating Stick

How is Leader Hong related to you?

He's our teacher

- Did Leader Hong send you? - Yes

Then, all the more, l can't let you pass

- Why? - Don't ask so many questions

No matter what, you can't pass

You are so unreasonable

Brother Jing, don't bother with him Let's go

Sir, l'm sorry

Let's go

Brother Jing, l need water

Alright

Cutting wood, cutting wood

Don't think it's a meaningless task

All the royalties and the literates are all fools

Cutting wood...

This woodcutter is a little strange We must be careful

Mending bridges, building roads houses and ovens

Who are the literates peeping at me cutting wood?

Sir

Our country is in danger

Yet there are people with so much time to come and enjoy the scenery

Can you help our country by staying here to chop wood?

Vast mountains and ferocious waves

Miles of land run far and wide

Gaze to the West, not knowing what to do

Lament the sad history of our lands

Everything has turned to ashes

The people suffer no matter if a country falls or prospers

Wonderful

How so?

Peaceful mountains and loving clouds

Riches are no longer within sight

A simple cottage, wild flowers in bloom

Who cares if a country falls or prospers

Seek simple pleasures, a simple life

Maintain dignity regardless of poverty or prosperity

Great verses indeed

Do you wish to go up the mountain?

Yes, Sir

lf you want a drink of water you're welcome

But if you have other matters, you're not

Sir, we wish to see Emperor Duan

Then come to my place for a drink

- No, thank you. We must go - You can't

Life and death are only natural

Why try so hard to live?

We will go, no matter what

l'm sorry, sir

Can we go now?

- Rong-er, shall we rest? - Alright

Are you in pain?

lt's nothing

Don't deny it

You'll never rest if it's nothing

l'm just resting so you can rest too

- You're still so... - Sharp-tongued?

There are four disciples in total

We've only met two

l wonder when we can see Emperor Duan

The sooner the better

These four disciples are not highly skilled we can see him after defeating all of them

The fisherman and woodcutter were not too bad

but were too kind-hearted

The third is here

- How did you get up here? - We fought our way up

Your brothers were no match for us

Who are you?

- Sir, l am... - Don't bother with that

l guess you want to fight too

How are my brothers?

They're not dead

Sir, we need to see your teacher

- Why? - To heal her

Sir

Rong-er, how are you?

- l can't hold on anymore - Don't talk nonsense

Rong-er, how are you feeling?

People here are heartless and refuse to save the needy

l'm dying now. Are you happy?

l would love to help but my teacher cannot heal you

You should look elsewhere

Brother Jing, don't beg them They're not human

- l'd rather die than beg them - Rong-er

Miss...

Rong-er, you're fine?

l'm fine. You were trying to avoid hitting him the whole time

l just want to get this over with

We should go

Please hold on

How can l help you?

Have both of you come to Mount Yideng for medical assistance?

Yes. You're...

l'm just a novice in Yideng Temple

Do you wish to stop us too?

No, but there is a rule in Yideng Temple

Whoever wishes to see my teacher has to gain approval from our Big Brother

- Where is he? - lnside

- We'll go in - Wait

Our Big Brother is proud in nature He only wishes to meet people

who are cultured and intelligent

Then...

These couplets are unfinished

Please complete them or take your leave

Wind blows palm trees Buddha wields his foldable fan

That's easy

Got it

Frost freezes lotus leaves The ghost wears a scarf of abandon

Amitabha

What an impressive show of intelligence This way, please

l guess we have to complete these too

You're clever, madam

The eight kings are none too impressive

lt's getting easier to complete

lt might be easy but

l'm afraid l may offend your four brothers when l say it

My four brothers are not so narrow-minded

Please go ahead, madam

The four petty ghosts have hidden motives

l'm impressed, please come in

To come in here, you must have outstanding martial arts and literary skills

but you're just a little audacious

How so?

Meng Tzu says, ''Man and woman must respect each other and have moral conscience''

You don't look like husband and wife or brother and sister

lt's outrageous for you to hug each other like that

Meng Tzu is full of nonsense How can you trust him?

Outrageous! Meng Tzu is a great saint How dare you insult him?

Beggars do not have virtuous wives

Neighbours seldom have many chickens

Emperor Zhou was around back then

Why talks about Wei, Qi then?

Nonsense!

He's fine, he won't die

ls this...

We've passed the test Let's open the second sachet

Alright

What a strange painting What does it mean?

l only know that the one who drew this doesn't know how to draw

Two of you had come a long way How can l help you?

l'm Guo Jing, she's Huang Rong

We wish to see Master Yideng, Emperor Duan

Emperor Duan is no longer alive You've wasted yourjourney

For the sake of Hong Qigong and Peach Blossom lsland, l hope he will see us

Please show him this

- Teacher will see you now - Thank you

Please wait here, l'll make some tea

Thank you

Sirs

There is no point in bravery for ones who have failed

Even though you've made it in here you can't see my teacher

- Sir - Don't call me ''sir''

Forgive me for offending if you won't stop

This young lad has great skills indeed

Teacher...

Brother Qi has accepted a good disciple

Brother Yao's daughter isn't bad too

They've told me that both of you

surpass them in martial arts and literary skills

Congratulations to you both

Master, you're Emperor Duan?

Emperor Duan no longer exists

My religious name is Yideng

No wonder they said Emperor Duan is dead

Teacher, they've been sent by evil forces Please get them to leave

Master, Rong-er was hurt by Qiu Qianren of lron Palm Sect

We heard you're the only one who can save her

Please have mercy on us and heal her

Get up, both of you

How can you be so rude to our guests?

Teacher... he...

Fate is a strange and wonderful thing

Since they've made it up here We're fated to meet

l will save you for sure

That drawing was useful indeed

What drawing?

The drawing from Yinggu

lt's her?

Where's the drawing?

l gave it to...

Just now teacher was meditating l didn't want to disturb. Here it is

lf you hadn't mentioned it l won't get to see this

l see that someone wanted to agitate me in case l refuse to save you

l didn't expect her to still blame me now

Let's stop talking. l'll heal you now

or it will be too late

Thank you very much

Teacher, it's a trap. Don't be fooled

Don't say anymore Both of you, follow me

- Yes - Yes

Guo Jing, guard the door No one is to come in

- Not even my disciples - Yes

lf they try to come in you must fight them off

Because if l get distracted Miss Huang will be in danger

Yes sir

Miss Huang, get ready

Listen well. lf you feel any pain or irritation during the curing process

do not resist it with your 'qi'

l'll pretend l'm dead

You're very clever

Teacher...

Why are you doing this?

We want to save teacher

- Teacher, are you alright? - Rong-er...

- Rong-er... - Teacher...

She's fine now

Rong-er

- Brother Jing - Are you alright?

l'm alright

Let her rest here for a few days She'll be fine

Master, thank you for saving me

lt's alright. Just remember never to talk about what happened here today

Teacher, slowly...

Teacher...

- Master - Master

Master, to save me

you've spent much of your energy l'll be eternally grateful

Don't mention it...

This is Nine Flower Jade Pill. Take it

Teacher

Teacher, how do you feel?

Take her to rest

Yes

My hand is too tired to move

- Teacher... - Sit down

- The pill has poison in it - Poison?

My teacher risked his life to save you and you poison him?

ls there really poison?

- Don't pretend - Hold it

lt's not their fault

lf they wanted to kill me there are many chances to do it

Even if they strike now none of you can stop them

Leave now

- We can't leave when he's like this - Stop pretending

You got teacher into this

Whenever teacher saves someone he will use up one-third of his strength

and he will be powerless for a few days

Yinggu hates my teacher and so asked you to seek him for help

- This is your evil scheme - No

No wonder you tried to stop us

Master, we have brought you harm

lt's not your fault. lt's fate

Teacher, they've poisoned you and you're still siding them?

l've told you not to be so rude to our guests

Bring me the antidote from my brother Tianzhu right now

- Yes, teacher - Hurry

- Teacher - Yes?

Someone has just sent this

Leave us

Teacher

She's here at last

- l'll fight her to my death. Let's go - Let's go

Hold it

She has tried so hard to kill me

l'll just wait for her here

Master, we got you into this

Let us help you

Both of you are so kind

Teacher, the antidote

Be careful... Teacher...

Both of you, follow me

Miss Huang

Master

l heard your father is highly skilled in

martial arts

as well as literature, music and the arts

l'm sure you've taken after your father

and are just as good

You're too kind, master

Please take a look and comment on a painting l have here

Yinggu?

Master, how would you have a drawing of Yinggu?

There are three Evils in Buddhism Greed, Anger and lgnorance

l have not been able to pass the last one

lt's hard to attain peace indeed

Master, who is Yinggu?

Yinggu... has become so violent today because of me

l have sinned

Miss Huang

You still haven't told me what you think of this painting

The painting is lifelike

Every detail is delicate

The artist must like the subject very much

and so took great pains to draw this

But there are different colour tones in it

as though it was paused and finished only after some time

Miss Huang, you have good judgment

lt's been ten years

before this drawing is finally completed

Perhaps if this drawing had been finished earlier

things would have been different

When Yinggu married me years ago

l was too engrossed in martial arts

and may have neglected her

Your Majesty

- Yes? - Wang Chongyang wishes to see you

lnvite him into our hall l'll be right there

Yes

- Greetings, Your Majesty - Please rise

Taoist Wang

- lt's been a long time - Prepare for combat!

Emperor Duan, your skills have improved immensely since we last met

And so have yours

Has Qiu Qianren been disturbing you?

Qiu Qianren is always trying to find ways to kill me

You must be careful then

Are you here to have a friendly duel with me today?

No, l've discerned a new technique recently and would like to analyse it with you

My pleasure

Sounds like fun, count me in

Are you alright?

So you weren't feigning it

This is...

- l'm Zhou Botong - lt's Brother Zhou. My apologies

Don't stand on ceremony with me

This is my brother

He wanted to come along because he's never been to the palace

Does Brother Zhou want to learn Jiuyin manual as well?

No... That's boring. Don't count me in

He doesn't have the patience Let's carry on ourselves

Alright, then Brother Zhou...

lt's alright. The palace is huge l can entertain myself by looking around

- Be my guest - Thank you

There's nothing extraordinary about the lmperial Garden

l've caught you

Who are you? How dare you catch my rabbit?

l don't talk to women

Don't run

You want to play with me?

l don't hit women

- l'm going to retaliate - l didn't say you couldn't

Are you alright?

How dare you hit me?

Didn't you say l could hit back?

My dear...

- Your Majesty - Are you alright?

You're here

How can you let such a rude person in here?

His manners are atrocious. Chase him out

My dear, Brother Zhou is just playful Don't be mad at him

What's so good about this place? l'm leaving

Botong, are you really leaving?

Of course! lt's so boring here and no fun at all

Brother Zhou

My dear, why do you have to chase our guest away?

Was l wrong?

l'm so sorry, Your Majesty

Taoist Wang

This is not a good place for martial arts Let's go to my secret chamber

Alright

That woman cannot be considered as a human being

What did you say?

- Why are you following me? - l didn't. l've been here a long time

Waiting for me?

No. Look at this

l've seen it. lt's ugly

lt's dead. You killed it

So what? l'll catch 10 more for you from the mountains

This rabbit is an expensive and rare breed

with pure, untainted fur

Can you find the same one?

Then, l can't do anything about that

Yes, you can. You must compensate me

With money? But l have no money

l am the Royal Concubine of Dali Empire Would l want money from you?

You killed it with your hands Now, l want your hands

l can't fight without my hands. No way

You just died like that?

l've never killed anyone. Please don't die

l guess l was too easy on you

Does it feel good being upside down?

lf you let me down and hang here in my place, you'll find out

l'll let you down after 10 days

l'll starve to death in 10 days

l know l can't defeat you So l have to starve you to death

and cut your hands off then

You poisonous woman You're worthless even as a prostitute

lt's death penalty for those who offend the Royal Concubine

Go on and behead me lt's better than hanging here for 10 days

l don't care, l want you to hang here for 10 days. Have fun

Let me down...

- Greetings, my Lady - Where's His Majesty?

His Majesty and Taoist Wang are in the secret chamber

My Lady, where are you going?

Are you questioning me?

l dare not, but His Majesty has instructed me not to let

anyone into the chamber

l am the Royal Concubine l will go where l please

Greetings, my Lady

- ls His Majesty in the chamber? - Yes

- My Lady - Yes?

- His Majesty says... - That no one is to enter, right?

l'm going in Let's see who dares to stop me

My Lady

- My dear - Your Majesty

You've come out

l have important matters to attend to and will stay in here for the time being

How long will you stay here for?

At least half a year

lf things are not smooth-sailing it could be one year

Your Majesty, can you not put so much time into martial arts?

Don't you know that Qiu Qianren is trying to kill me?

l have to carry on with this

My dear, one year will pass in a flash

lf you're bored, get the ladies-in-waiting to keep you company

Well? Are you having fun?

Sure! l've never had so much fun in my life!

- Don't pretend - l'm not

Don't you release me l must have my fun for 10 days

- Really? - Sure! Dangling here is great

The air is fresh and spinning around is quite fun

l'm going to release you so you can't have so much fun

Don't do it. l'm feeling great up here

Excellent! My mother said

to be hit by a man's shoe means bad luck for at least 3 years

You're going to have such bad luck How wonderful!

Why didn't l get her to release me? lt's wet and cold here
