Enjoys the immortal joy and long life as Heaven.

Leader is blessed by gods.

Leader has loyalty of thou.

Leader saves us all.

Leader's order we follow.

Leader's like moon and sun.

Leader's like moon and sun.

Rise all.

Thank you, Leader.

Dragon Master Hei.

Leader ordered you to get the Sutra.

It's the right time. Submit the Sutra now.

Lady, reports from the capital tell that

we have found the whereabouts of four volumes.

We're trying to get them.

Leader has allowed you to delay three times.

Every time you have excuses and refuse to do your job.

Lady, it's pretty tricky.

We have many enemies in the Palace,

especially the damn eunuch named Gui.

He's cunny, sinister

and very vicious.

Among the six sent to the Palace,

Deng Bing Chun and Liu Yan

have martyred and died already.

I hope that Leader and Lady could give me more days.

Liu Yan.

Little brother,

come here.

Me?

May Leader and Lady

enjoy the immortal joy and long life as Heaven.

Who told you to add to "and Lady" after "Leader"?

Only if Leader is accompanied by Lady, it's meaningful for a long life as Heaven.

Otherwise two hundred years later,

Lady, if you died,

Leader would be alone in the world.

How boring it would be.

Is your surname Wei and are you from the capital?

Yes.

Get up and talk.

Yes.

I heard when you were in the capital,

you met a fat girl named Liu Yan

and also learned martial arts from her?

Yes.

This sister Liu Yan comes to my house often

regardless of day and night time, place or occasion.

What was she doing in your house?

My uncle is very very rich,

and also very very handsome,

so she liked him very very much

and went to my house often.

Occasionally,

they drank, talked, laughed or listened to music.

They sang while drinking.

I stayed and watched them.

But I decided to go. Why?

Because sister Liu Yan sang too badly

to sing even a single note right.

So I covered my ears and ran every time.

Dragon Master Hei, did you hear him?

I thought those you sent to the capital were all loyal,

running a business for our Leader without distraction.

I didn't expect their behaviors like that.

Lady,

I've followed Leader for many years,

going through life and death.

I should be given credit for my hard work, if not for merit.

Why do you keep bringing up old stories?

By doing something you should, are you going to live with it all your life?

I guess you are too old to do anything else, aren't you?

Then save the position of Dragon Master Hei

to young people.

Leader.

Don't you even consider what your old man did before?

It's me talking to you.

In our cult,

there are too many old and confused men.

It's indeed time to do a clean-up.

Leader's lecture we dare not forget.

Nothing in our way ahead to combat.

It seems it's now the time

for old men like me to die.

Better you know.

Don't you hurry up and die?

Give me the snake bone.

How dare you take the initiative to ask for the snake bone?

Do you know what will happen after your death?

With one eye, I've been traveling around the world for so many years

and no one couldn't succeed in killing me.

How can you do such a silly thing as killing myself?

Let everyone see

how you kill a hero.

Great!

As you wish.

Give him the snake bone.

Playing tricks?

What's going on?

Why is there also a group?

Don't see it.

Well done.

I was wondering why you asked for the snake bone.

It turned out you were planning to kill Leader that way!

No!

We were not going against Leader,

but you evildoer!

Yes.

Once we 108 heroes

swore to follow Leader till death.

But now there are only less than ten of us.

Are you really trying to kill us all, Lady?

Do you want to say that

I killed loyal and upright heroes

and destroy all the achievements

of Mystical Dragon Cult?

Exactly. Leader, say something.

-Leader. -

Say something, Leader.

Die.

Dragon Master Bai.

Let her go. Or I will let you cry to die.

Leader.

If you dare to hurt my men,

I'll kill this evildoer.

You think by killing a woman

you can shake my century-old foundation of Mystical Dragon Cult?

Leader.

Bosses, Bosses.

Can I say something?

Peace is of the essence.

Peace is of the essence for everything.

You can only make fortune in peace, right?

What's more,

Lady can't die.

Why? Because...

Because the inscription in the monument reads

"Leader and Lady enjoy the immortal joy and long life as Heaven."

So If anyone dares to hurt her,

he'd be punished and die a terrible death.

You...

Well said. Go up and say it.

Up.

Leader Hong,

You may not know me,

but I know you.

I've been long admiring you.

Leader Hong, the head of Mystical Dragon Cult,

what a resounding name.

I am really excited to see you today.

I...

To the point.

I'm... an outsider.

I was listening there more or less.

I... I now...

I'd like to say a few words.

Why? Because I think only outsiders

can tell the truth but not insiders.

So as an outsider,

I want to say a few words.

You see if I make sense, okay?

Look at Lady. Lady Hong,

How nice a woman.

As pretty as a fairy. As the saying goes,

Xi Shi and Diao Chan cry for their ugliness,

and Concubine Yang and Chen Yuan Yuan would rather die in front of her.

Even me, seeing a woman like her, I'd...

I'd... I'd like...

I'd like to kneel and bow to her.

A woman like her, so beautiful.

And also, looking back,

she's been with you for so many years,

guarding you silently.

Are you willing to give up on her?

Are you willing to see her beauty passes out?

Pass away.

Yes, are you willing

to let her pass away?

No, am I right? Of course no.

And you, one-eyed brother, I... I have to blame you.

You are not young anymore.

As a man, it's okay for you to compete and fight against other men.

Why do you bother...Why bother holding a woman

as a bargaining sheep?

Bargaining chip.

Why bother holding a woman as a bargaining chip?

See, he knows, he knows he's wrong.

It's good as long as you know.

Leader.

You can't lose something so important

just because you have a little friction with your men

who made a little mistake.

That's not worth it, right?

That's not worth it at all.

So I think, you'd better learn from this one-eyed brother

to open one eye and close one eye.

We need to be as generous as the sky and sea.

Take a step back, isn't there a brighter sky?

How about you try and see

if is really brighter?

Yes.

All right.

One-eyed brother,

Leader Hong has taken a step back.

What do you think?

Actually, I didn't want to go against Leader.

But I was really helpless.

I worked so hard for a lifetime.

You can't just take it as nothing.

Leader, I'm telling the truth. Even as an outsider, I am moved.

He admitted he's wrong. He's so old but he can still do that.

He's choking. He felt wronged.

I... I can even feel his pain.

For what happened here today,

I will forgive and no longer hold anyone accountable.

One-eyed brother, did you see it?

Leader said he's fine with it.

What about you?

In that case,

I'd like a deep-sworn vow from Leader and Lady

to reassure all of us.

Okay.

I, Su Quan, swear that

if in the future

I lay any crime on you for what happened today,

I'd be trapped in Dragon Pond and eaten up by ten thousand snakes.

I, Hong An Tong, the Leader of Mystical Dragon Cult,

If I ever settle scores with my brothers in the future about what happened today,

I would be trapped in Dragon Pond and eaten up by ten thousand snakes.

Good.

Very good.

What a happy end.

I like this scene I like this scene.

To be a man, to be loyal.

That's the man. That's the true man, right?

Listen to me, we do this.

Let's count one, two and three, okay?

Let's make fortune in peace.

One, two, three and you...

You put down all weapons in your hand, okay?

If anyone eats his words,

he'd get thunders outside and brain stroke inside.All right?

I'll start now.

Leader, listen up.

One,

two,

Release.

Help me, help me.

-How's that? -Am I... am I cool? Am I cool?

You were so cool.

Very cool.

I was so scared.

Lady, sorry to let you suffer.

Leader,

this little brother

has made great contributions to our cult today.

How should we reward him?

The former Dragon Master Bai betrayed and got punished.

Let's make him the Dragon Master Bai.

Good.

-What is it? - You've made the Dragon Master Bai.

Congratulations, Dragon Master Bai.

- What? - Go up, go.

What is it?

Thank you, Leader and Lady.

Dismissed.

Farewell, Leader.

Dragon Master Bai.

I was so scared. Why are you kicking my leg?

No, I'm...I kneel and I rise, and I'm the Master?

Congratulations to you at this young age.

I'm the Dragon Master Bai now.

Dragon Master Bai.

Come here.

You all retreat.

Yes.

Not long after you joined the cult,

you've been promoted as one of the Dragon Masters.

It's unprecedented.

Five Dragon Masters?

What...

are they?

The Five Dragon Masters are the five leaders of Mystical Dragon Cult.

They are second to no more than one.

No more than two.

Two?

And you, Lady.

You are very lucky.

It's all thanks to you, Lady.

You talk well.

Lady,

it's tilted.

I...

What is tilted?

The card in the middle.

How dare you.

Eight volumes of the Sutra of Forty Two Chapters

have been scattered in the world.

But according to Dragon Master Hei,

four volumes are still in the Palace.

Maybe these four volumes

were once in somewhere like Shaolin Temple,

but taken away by the Qing's soldiers to the Palace.

Dragon Master Hei,

The person you sent out said he's done his best.

But so far we haven't seen a single volume.

Leader,

I think

we might have to send someone

who's blessed himself

to go and get the Sutra.

Thanks to your love and care, Leader and Lady,

that I can become the Dragon Master Bai.

I will definitely do whatever I can

to pay you back, Leader and Lady,

by fetching the four volumes from the Palace.

Good, very good.

Now that you can volunteer

to get the volumes from the Palace,

your loyalty is clearly shown.

Dragon Master Bai,

This time, you can't go to the capital alone,

you may choose two masters of martial arts in the cult

to go with you and protect you.

There are a few girls under Dragon Master Chi.

Can I have one to three from them

to go to the capital with me?

They can disguise as maids after entering the Palace to facilitate my action.

- What's the use of these little girls? - Yes.

They are inexperienced with only little martial arts.

I think Lu Gao Xuan is very resourceful

and Fat Monk is the master of martial arts.

Just bring these two with you

to help you,

you can definitely make it.

What do you think, Leader?

You're right, my darling.

This is Leader's Five Dragon Token.

Anyone of our cult

sees this token as if seeing Leader himself.

Today, I give this Five Dragon Token

to Dragon Master Bai.

It's not appropriate, isn't it?

Such a valuable thing...

Fine.

Thank you, Lady.

This time to the capital,

Fat Monk and Lu Gao Xuan,

you both will follow orders from Dragon Master Bai.

You mustn't violate him.

- Yes. - Yes.

According to the practices of the cult,

those running business out of the island get rewards from Leader.

This time, Leader still have rewards for each of you,

a Leopard Fetus Pill.

Hurry up to get it, will you?

Thank you, Lady. Thank you, Leader.

Lady, look.

Look at them, making it so hard to take a tonic pill.

They even curled their lips.

Then you take one and let me see what it looks like.

Sweet.

It tastes like a jelly bean.

Isn't it sweet? Yours?

Not taste the same?

Sweet.

Dragon Master Bai stays.

Others retreat.

- Yes. - Yes.

So exhausted.

Dragon Master Bai, you are finally back.

What took you so long?

Took so long?

Leader and Lady

insisted on teaching me thirty...

thirty-eight moves of subtle martial arts.

That's incredible.

Congratulations, Dragon Master Bai.

Dragon Master Bai, favored by Leader and Lady,

you're unprecedented since the founding of the cult.

Dragon Master Bai,

you've got a bright future.

-Bright future. Stop it.-

Dragon Master Bai, didn't Leader tell you

when to give us the antidote to Leopard Fetus Pill?

Antidote to Leopard Fetus Pill?

What did you mean?

Is this Leopard Fetus Pill a poison?

Poison or panacea,

it depends on your luck.

Wait, wait, stop going around.

Just say it, all right?

Dragon Master Bai,

they call me Fat Lord politely,

and Fat Monk rudely.

But I am tall and thin, not fat at all.

Don't you think it's a little weird?

For sure, it's weird. Who would think that way?

You hurry and go on to the point.

The Leopard Fetus Pill is very effective.

Within a year of its service,

it strengthens your body.

But if you don't take the antidote at the end of the year,

its violent toxicity comes out,

and no one knows what you'll look like.

My brother Thin Monk,

used to be extremely tall and thin,

but now he's short and fat.

We were totally reversed.

So you mean in one year, we have to

collect all eight volumes of Sutra of Forty Two Chapters to get the antidote

No need eight.

As long as one or two are delivered to Leader,

he'd be happy and give us the antidote.

What a relief.

Okay, don't worry.

Consider it done.

We are good brothers, so we are loyal to each other.

Of course, we share blessings and...

- Difficulties. - Difficulties.

Exactly.

- Who is it? - Lady Hong is here.

Lady Hong.

Lady, you...

You...

Dragon Master Bai Greets to Lady Hong.

May you enjoy the immortal joy and long life as Heaven.

Get up.

Thank you, Lady Hong.

Go and close the door.

Lady, is that okay?

People are seeing.

They can't see if you close the door.

You make sense.

What are you doing?

I ask you.

Dare you take me away?

No, no, I dare not.

Why?

There are too many people who want to leave.

I guess none of them will end well.

They'd be...

You dare tell the truth.

I'm troublesome,

and I lie and brag a lot.

But at the bottom of my heart,

I'm sincere.

On this island,

everyone respect me, obey me and flatter me.

But the first dare tell me the truth

is you.

I don't tell lies in front of sincere ones.

This is also true.

Let me ask you a question.

Why did you save me that day?

Saving you is saving myself, Lady.

This is also true.

Let me ask you one more.

That day,

why did you say it's tilted?

Lady Hong, you're as pretty as a fairy.

I think seeing you, any normal man would

get his heart tilted a little bit.

This is also true.

I really like you more and more.

Lady Hong.

It's too late, you should go back to rest.

I'm afraid people talk too much

and let Leader know.

You know...

What did you say?

-I said... I said... -How dare you!

I am under the order of Leader

to check how much you learn

his three moves.

I've mastered all...

Come on, show me.

Again? Don't beat me up.

Lady, is that okay?

Lady, you...

In the deep night,

they're making all the noises.

What are they doing?

Don't you have any idea what they are doing?

No way.

That's what I am afraid of.

What should we do?

I've got an idea. I'll report to Leader.

Can you be more silly?

If Leader knows about this,

that guy deserves to die.

But Lady Hong...

if she's thrown into the snakes' nest,

how should I live on?

What... what should we do then?

Go find two tiles.

Sure enough.

It hasn't started yet,

but over?

It hurts.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much.

It hurts so so much.

Master, where does it hurt?

Shuang Er.

Is it you?

It's me.

You alone?

Me alone.

No one else? Come on in, hurry.

Master, you said it hurts, where?

Nowhere hurts when I see you.

Come on. Close your eyes and let me kiss you.

Close them, okay?

You know what? It's like a dream.

I went onto the island in a daze

and now leaving the island in a daze.

What's going on anyway?

No matter what, you're safe, Master.

It's a good thing that we can go back.

Right, Shuang Er, we were in such a hurry

that I didn't have time to ask you.

How did you find that damned island?

I went into that teahouse for water that day, right?

As soon as I came out,

the carriage was gone.

I was so anxious.

I thought it carefully

and I believed it's them

who did such things.

So I inquired all the way

how to find Mystical Dragon Cult.

I found it in the end.

You are so smart, Shuang Er.

We're back, yeah.

Master, keep it down. People are watching.

So what? So what?

I can't shout if they watch? I'm happy.

You two stay close and don't get yourself lost.

Dragon Master Bai.

I'll take you to eat something delicious.

I'm sure you haven't tried anything before.

- Good. - Okay.

Follow me,

you get everything good to eat, drink and live.

Also... you're rich.

You are too careless. I will keep it for you.

You are so generous.

No big deal.

Good brothers loyal to each other, right?

Just take it.

What should we do next?

Next,

next, I've got a plan.

Here is our stronghold.

-We'll meet here from today on. -Good.

I'll go back to the Palace to find out the clues.

I'll let you know once I get anything about

the whereabouts of the Sutra.

Then we act immediately.

Good.

I want to remind you one more thing.

There are many eagle claws in the capital.

It's very dangerous.

You'll stay here

if no news comes up.

Just stay in the house.

Eat here, drink here, pee here, poop here. Got it?

-But we are here to help you. -Yes.

How can we help you without following you?

Listen up, do not mess with me, okay?

Can you just go in and out of the Palace casually?

There are all martial arts masters in the Palace.

That's why

I said it's too dangerous in the capital.

Don't go anywhere.

You hear me?

Master.

Was this room the one we lived in last time?

You've got a good memory, my Shuang Er.

Didn't you forget?

We still have a treasure here.

-Right. -Guard at the door.

Master. Let me do it.

You do it.

Guard at the door.

Officer Wei is back.

Officer Wei is back.

Officer Wei is back.

Officer Wei is back.

Officer Wei is back, Your Majesty.

You found him?

Yes.

Right.

Please have a look, Your Majesty.

It's my father's handwriting.

It's true.

Father.

Damn eunuch, You left me alone for so long.

See how I fix you.

Princess, you can't get in. Princess, His Majesty and Lord Wei are discussing things.

-Get lost. -Princess, you can't get in.

- Really can't... - Get lost.

His Majesty ordered, no one's allowed in any case.

Go to hell you. Get lost.

Princess, if you go in,

You really can't get in. It's not okay.

Everything in the world,

You can't push it.

It's best if you can

If the people of the world

want us to leave,

Leave and return to where we came from?

My father really said so?

No, that's what he meant.

I... I have an accent.

Go on.
