Why isn't he out yet? It's been so long.

He wouldn't have run would he?

Have him come out!

We can't just keep waiting.

Sect Leader Zhang

Zhang Cuishan has been inside for so long

Has he run away?

Yeah, yeah

Make him come out!

Everyone!

Please be patient.

When my pupil is ready

He will be here

It's a sword fight- what's there to prepare?

I think he's just afraid to lose!

Wudang disciples

are not cowards!

Then please invite him out

Unless, you are protecting your disciple

Protecting him! Get him out here!

Everyone

As you are here, you are my guests

I am obliged to host you with courtesy

But I will not tolerate slander

Leader Zhang

Emei has always respected Wudang

But today

Zhang Cuishan must come out

and give everyone a satisfactory answer

This is not just my personal grievance with him

If Master Zhang continues to delay

then that is a declaration of war by Wudang on the entire Wulin

Don't bother my Shifu!

I, Zhang Cuishan, am responsible for all my own actions

This matter has nothing to do with my beloved shifu

and has nothing to do with Wudang

Fine, then tell us where Golden Lion King is

Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!

I know...

all you of the Righteous sects are waiting for me

With such consideration you came for my Shifu's 100th birthday celebration

I also know your real motive is to get Golden Lion King's whereabouts!

In the end, it is all about the Dragon Sabre!

The precious Dragon Sabre

Honored by the Wulin, it commands the world.

Who dares disobey?

Don't worry. Today, I, Zhang Cuishan, will not disappoint you.

I will satisfy you all.

Shifu

I have let you down

I have let Wudang down

But I have one request.

Speak

My beloved son Wuji has fallen into the hands of evil people

Please save him Shifu

and nurture him till he is grown

"Three feet of steel

Cannot slice through the hate of this world."

5th brother

5th brother

Father!

Father!

Mother!

Wuji!

You're back

All's well that you're back

Father!

Don't die!

Wake up!

Father!

Father!

Don't die!

Wake up father!

Father, wake up!

I don't want you to buy me candy

Mother, how did dad die?

They want to know where your godfather is.

No, we can't tell them!

Wuji

Look at all these people

Look carefully

They forced your dad to die

You must remember all their faces

Every pair of hands

is stained with your father's blood

Reverend Kongwen

Shaolin is held in high regard by all of Wulin

And you are well-respected as well

You are someone I trust

Come here

I will only tell Xiexun's whereabouts to you.

Madam if you had only decided to tell us earlier

Hero Zhang wouldn't be dead now

Golden-haired Lion King is...

[indistinct mumble]

What?

That's where Xiexun is

It is up to you all to go seek him

Where? What did you say? What?

What did she say?

What did she say? She didn't say anything!

You weren't clear! What did she say? She didn't say anything!

You weren't clear!

Mother why did you tell them where god-father is?

She clearly told you! She didn't say anything! Tell us or else!

Mother didn't say anything to them

Mother deceived them

Wuji

when you grow up

You must beware of women deceiving you

The prettier the woman

the more she will be able to deceive you

Do you understand?

I understand

Promise mother

No matter what happens

You must live on bravely

I understand mother

Let's go home

Mother!

Wuji!

He's burning here

Yet around here he's frozen to the bone

Wuji must be in immense pain

Master, what is Wuji suffering from?

"Xuanming Palms"

When Priest Baishou died

I thought this martial art had died with him

Shocking that there is still someone in this world who can wield this

Master

How can we save Wuji?

Only if my own Master came back to life

And imparts to me the full extent of the 9-yang technique

Who can it be, to do such a terrible thing to a child?

I only know that the person looked to be about 25 years old

High nosed, and didn't seem to be a Yuan soldier

In fact he seemed to be from the Persia

But since he took Wuji away, why did he return Wuji again?

He must have tried to interrogate Wuji and failed

And brought Wuji here to be his hostage

To force his parents to divulge the whereabouts of the Golden-haired Lion King

Cuishan!

You called me Master

and before you left you entrusted Wuji to my care

yet I

cannot protect even your beloved only child

I have lived my 100 years in vain

Wudang's glorious name

has also been in vain

Master

Wuji

He's awake

His poison seems to have subsided

He could be saved!

It is only temporary

In truth his poison has gone deep into his bones

Eventually it will spread to every part of him

Then....

Master, do you mean there is nothing we can do?

Death is predestined

Father! Mother!

I miss you

Wuji you must be strong

And live well

You must practice Wugong

so you can avenge them!

I don't want revenge!

I just want my dad and mom back

That's impossible

Those left living must keep going the best we can

To give peace and comfort to the dead

Father, mother, Wuji won't cry

Wuji will not worry you, Wuji won't cry

Wuji will live the best he can

Wuji you hold a brush like so

Understand?

Hahah, Wuji, no, not like that!

Watch! Like so!

Now you try

Why this again?

Left-right-left-right-left-right-left-right

Look over there!

What do you think?

Gimme!

Just like this and then like this

Wuji

look

now it's done!

Fun, right?

Thank you 7th uncle

3rd uncle there are so many stars

Is it pretty?

Very pretty!

That one is my favorite one!

You also love that one?

3rd uncle

Good!

The evening is beautiful

Here's the heater

Quickly wrap the blanket around him

Here, eat it

What's wrong?

Not bad.

You've grasped the beginnings of [skill name]

Remember

persist daily

practicing for a full cycle

your body will exude dew (sweat?)

your elixir field will feel something

that will lead to the yang and yin something

will lead to the icy poison gradually dissipating

Grand master

Don't worry, I've commited the Jiu Yang Shen Gong you taught me to memory

I've also finished reading the Tao Te Ching you gave me.

Very good!

But reading alone is insufficient.

One must fully understand the concepts too.

I find the philosophy in the book

and the chi cultivating methods you taught me to have similarities

It says something self something something

All things exist between heaven and earth constantly circulating

That you could have observed that

shows you have aptitude

Thank you, grandmaster

I'll recite it as a gift for mid-autumn festival? What do you say?

There's no need to be too serious

That your grand master can witness your smile

is your biggest gift to me

Master!

Master!

Sect Master Yin is here

Wuji

You keep practicing your kung fu whilst your 6rd uncle supervises you.

No slacking off!

Sect master Yin has graced us with his presence. Forgive me for not receiving you sooner

Master Zhang is too polite!

My respects to Master Zhang

They are here again to try to take Wuji away

Previously when I came to take Wuji you repeatedly rebuffed me

But today my father has come personally and brought

many mid-autumn festival gifts surely you must give him some face

Master Zhang is an understanding person

surely you won't obstruct Wuji from reuniting with his relatives?

Sect Master Yin, I can appreciate your affection towards Wuji,

Naturally, tonight you may stay with Wuji

and spend mid-autumn festival with him

But...

if you want to take Wuji away from Wudang

forgive me I can not grant your wish.

Susu was my daughter

Wuji is her son and my grandchild

A grandfather taking his grandchild to raise

is most reasonable. I don't understand what objection you can raise Master Zhang to ostruct our family reuniting

I simply wish to fulfil a pledge I made to my late student

by raising Wuji

I will not go back on my word

You and other 5 sects

are no different from other unenlightened commoners but claim to be special

and look down on our Eagle sect don't you?

Insolence! How dare you disrespect my master?

I'd say the reason you are in such a rush to take Wuji away is because

you want to find the dragon sabre.

What did you say?

Father!

There's no need bicker with them

Today they need to hand him over whether they like it or not.

You dare?!

Insolence! Do not be rude.

I have no desire to break apart a family

I'm keeping Wuji at Wudang

entirely out of consideration for his own good

Master Zhang

Wuji

is of my own bloodline

Must you cut this piece of flesh from me?

Are you not aware

that I would love my own flesh even more than yourselves?

In terms of blood

whom amongst you can compare with us?

What should you keep Wuji here?

I get it now...

the ones that want the dragon sabre are you guys!

Grandmaster, is my grandfather here?

Wuji

Come here

Let me see you

Dear child

You look like your mother, just like Susu

I'm your grandfather

Good child

Are you really my grandfather?

Yes, I am your grandfather

I'm here to take you home today

Your mother left the world early

I can't bear to lose you as well

Alright, come home with me

Wuji

I'm your uncle

I guarantee I will treat you well

as if you were my own son

Wuji

Wuji, what's the matter, don't you want to come with your grandfather and uncle?

We will adore you

I want to be with grandfather

but I also don't want to leave my grandmaster

Wuji

Wuji. Wuji, what's the matter? Wuji

Master

Wuji, he...

Even though Wuji has grasped the Jiu Yang manual's inner power verses

the ice poison has already permeated into his meridians and collaterals. It is difficult to eradicate.

When his ice poison symptoms arise

the suffering he has to endure will increase over time

If things continue like this

I fear he won't live long

How could this happen? Wasn't he fine just earlier?

Wuji is very considerate and even if he doesn't feel well

he will grit his teeth and smile

Poor wuji

My dear grandson

Did you just use your limitless pure yang skill to heal Wuji?

If we combine that with the thousand year old ginseng might there be some extraordinary results?

During this time we've tried multitudes of valuable herbs and elixirs

with no effect at all

What use would more ginseng be?

That's true

even though master expended several decades of inner power

all that managed was to clear a portion of Wuji's ice poison

and lower his suffering a little

I never thought that

master Zhang

sacrificed so much to treat Wuji

I wrongly maligned you

Please forgive me master Zhang

I also was offensive earlier

I request that elder punishes me

Master Zhang

I beg you to keep thinking of a solution

to save dear Wuji

Back then when Reverend Jue Yuan imparted the Jui Yang Classic

my learning of it was incomplete

Even though I have secluded myself several times in order to painstakingly piece it together

I have only managed to understand around 30-40%

It seems the only route is to ask Abbot Kong Wen

and hope to come up with a more complete version

That way Wuji may have a chance

Master

Shaolin sect and ours have deep rifts

why waste your time going to beg them?

Oh my!

We've finally arrived at Shaoshi mountain

Up there

is Shaolin monastery

It's been 80 years

the surroundings haven't changed

80 years!

Even my parents weren't yet born.

That is correct

Do you see that little path there?

It was there, many years ago that Reverend Jue Yuan

carried heroine Guo Xiang and myself in a wooden water pail

to escape from Shaolin monastery

Why did you have to escape from Shaolin monastery, grand master?

Reverend Jue Yuan

was responsible for the library in Shaolin monstery back in those days

Even though his position was low

he was hard working and motivated to learn.

the classics and manuals in the library had all been memorized by him

Each day when we would chop firewood and carry water

I would listen to him recite passages from the books

I never imagined that

therin contained was the incomplete Jui Yang Classic

Shaolin monastery

has a rule

If one wishes to learn Shaolin martial arts

then one must officially become a student

Those who secretly learn

will receive punishment to the legs

They wrongly accused me

...thinking I had secretly learnt skills without permission

and wanted to cut the tendons on my legs

It was fortunate that reverend Jue Yuan

hid me in a wooden pail

and smuggled me out of Shaolin monastery

but he himself died from his exertions

Reverend Jue Yuan sacrificed himself to save others

That is worthy of respect

The Reverend's personality and actions

have made him my life's greatest role model

Even though I was not his official student

In my heart

he was always my master

Grand master

Does this mean that by coming to Shaolin

and obtaining the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing

that I can be saved?

Amitabha [Buddhist phrase]

May I enquire as to what business you have here?

May I trouble you to pass on a message

that Wudang Sect's Zhang Sanfeng is here to see your Abbot

You are really Divine Zhang?

Yes.

I am really him.

Elder brother? Junior brother, you probably don't know this.

Divine Zhang is actually a Shaolin traitor

so impersonating him gets him no advantage here

Then we'd better hurry and inform our master

Please wait here.

I've troubled you to come receive. I am most unworthy of this honour.

Amitabha

Divine Zhang has come from afar. How might I assist you?

I have a favour to ask

My practice of the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing

has many incomplete areas

and thus parts which I cannot fully understand

If Shaolin would share your knowlege

I would be most grateful

Naturally I would be willing to share

all that I have learnt with Shaolin

so both sides can end up with a more complete version

Amitabha

Wudang's martial arts originated from Shaolin

if we exchange our knowledge

then people in the martial community who don't know the truth of the matter

will say that although Divine Zhang had his roots in Shaolin

Shaolin also benefited from Wudang

Grandmaster

Abbot, you should not view things from a sectarian perspective

I'm only so anxious for this

to save my beloved student's only son that he entrusted to me

He has been attacked by the Xuan Ming Palms

Only by learning the complete Jui Yang Classic can he purge the Yin poison

This child's life hangs in the balance

Ordained clergy should show compassion

I hope you will think of Buddha and his desire to save people

Please save this child

Amitabha

At the root of it this is Wudang's internal affairs

What has this got to do with Shaolin?

I don't need you to save me

None of you are good people, insulting my grand master,

causing the death of Reverend Jue Yuan

pressuring my parents to death! Did you think I forgot?

I recognize all your faces very clearly.

I don't need you to save me!

Grand master let's leave

Before her death my mother told me to remember their faces

If my martial arts become powerful I must get revenge

Wuji

Grand master

Wait up for me

Grand master

Take care. You are too fast!

Sit here and rest a while. Alright

Wuji

You cannot fill your heart with and constantly think of revenge

You must learn to forgive

Do you understand?

But these bad people got Reverend Jue Yuan killed and forced you to leave

as well as branding you a Shaolin traitor, do you not despise them?

If I let those things bother me

then I would be letting their errors torture me

Just like your godfather Xie Xun

who cannot let go of his enmity for even a moment

The reality is

the one who suffers as a result is himself

That is true, my godfather lives unhappily

Revenge is a never ending cycle

By learning to forgive others that is the biggest mercy you can show to yourself

Grandmaster

I've been too uncontrolled and impulsive

You toiled to take me to Shaolin to heal me

and yet I ruined it

You're not wrong

One should be forgiving and magnanimous

But...

at the same time one must not lose their basic dignity and respect

Those 3 monks

are so stubborn and clouded

that continuing to converse with them

would be pointless anyway

What's the matter Wuji?

Quickly, sit down, sit .

Take a look

It's a fist fighting luohan (buddhist equivalent of a saint)

How meaningful!

Shall we buy it?

Grand master, you're of such advanced age

why do you still like such things?

I suppose it's because I haven't gotten out in so long

Grand master

you're worrying about me again aren't you?

Grand master

You don't need to worry about me

I don't fear death anymore

because once I die

I can see my parents

Isn't that great?

Silly child

Don't think of such silly things

While the Shaolin route didn't work out

we can still think of other solutions

Do you know

that in the heavens

there are many gods that relieve suffering and hardship?

They are most drawn

to helping kind, compassionate and forgiving children

Understand?

Really?!

Then I best stay out more so that the gods notice me sooner

Alright, lets go.

Dear Grand master

You didn't lie to me

There really are gods in the heavens

The Goddess of Mercy came down to save me

I have gone with her

Please don't worry about me, grand master

All will be fine with me

The Goddess of Mercy adores me

I am very happy

Please toil no more

Don't be sad nor miss me

Please return to Mount Wudang

Once I am healed

I will return

Are you ok?

Wake up

Wake up

Don't be scared.

Don't worry, I'll take you to see a doctor

Is that better?

Don't be afraid

Are you feeling better now?

Just now...

thank you for that

Why are you all alone in the forest?

Where's your family?

I'm all alone

I have no family nor home.

I'm about to die of illness anyway

So don't bother with me

Even if you have the flu it can be healed. I'll take you to my home.

Then we'll get a doctor, alright?

It's no use. Really, don't bother with me.

I'm just waiting to die here.

Nobody has to *something*

Wake up. If you are really about to die then I definitely can't leave you.

Wake up! Please wake up!

Wake up!
