Lucky lanterns, come get your lanterns...

Brother Jing, let's find an inn and take a rest

Then tonight we can go out and have some fun

Alright?

Alright

Let's go to that one with the big signboard

That one? What if l don't have enough money?

l've got money, let's go

Let me see what you've got

l've got a cheque, l need to get it changed at a bank

Why don't you go in and order something to eat first? l'll be back shortly

- l'll go with you - No need

What are you doing?

Going with you to the bank

Rong-er, didn't you say we were going to the bank?

We're not going...

You don't have the cheque at all

Are you thinking of cheating people's money again?

Cheating? That sounds terrible

lt's borrowing. l keep telling you...

l always remember how much l borrow

At the very most, l'll ask my father to return them the money

Why are you so anxious?

Anyway, l...

l don't want you to do that anymore

The Yuewang Temple is over there. Go there if you want to pray! Don't disturb me

What business of it is yours?

You're disturbing my sleep that makes it my business!

lf you want to sleep, go to Changbai Mountain. Don't sleep here

Rong-er

Don't create trouble, let's go

l'm not leaving, this street doesn't belong to him

So what if l like to pray here? Stupid beggar!

lf you keep this up l'll pray till nightfall

You...

l don't care if you pray till next year

Rong-er, let's go

Stupid beggar

Are you trying to give me the shock of my life?

Rong-er

Don't even think about sleeping now that you've offended me

Roll up your mat and go back to Mongolia

l'm not going to Mongolia

lf you have the time, come tour Jiangnan with me

Rong-er, are you still angry at me?

l'm saying it for your own good

- l know - Then why are you angry?

l'm angry at the stupid beggar

l remember his face already lf l see him again, he's dead!

Don't create trouble

Let's go to the temple and look at the lanterns

Come...

lt's your lucky day

lt's so crowded

That makes it more exciting. Over here...

Rong-er, l think we should come back at night

You were the one who wanted to come

Yes, but it's so crowded

We're just getting squeezed in the crowd

lf there're too many people l'll chase them away for you

Rong-er, we learn martial arts for self-defense

not to bully others

l didn't say l was going to hit them

Wait for me here

Rong-er

Thief! Thief...

Snatch thief... She stole my money...

Go to hell!

What do you want?

- Take off your clothes - What?

Take off your clothes

Whatever you say

Do you want me to remove my pants?

Don't try anything funny

lt's you who started it

Stupid beggar

Wretched girl... Alright, l'll put up with it this time

But there won't be a next time

Rong-er, you...

Just leave, l won't go back

What are you saying?

There's no cure for my leprosy

lf l go back, it'll spread to the rest of the family. Leave me alone!

What are you up to? Let's go

Stay away from me

The doctor says that leprosy is contagious

You... Rong-er...

You saw it too

l didn't chase them away they left of their own accord

So you were...

You are too naughty

This place is boring, let's go in!

Hold it

- Take off those rags - No, there're lots of people inside

lt doesn't look good on you l'll help you take it off, here...

Have a look around...

Brother Jing, this lantern is so pretty

Buy it for me

This lady has got good taste

This one is called the Fortune Jade Lantern

lf you hang it at your door it'll bring you prosperity

How much does it cost?

Since both of you like it so much l'll sell it to you for 20 taels

- But l only have a few coins - A few coins? You must be joking

How dare you!

- What are you doing now? - l'll destroy his lanterns

He was looking down on us

No, don't create trouble

The beautiful scenery is heavenly

When will the singing and dancing in West Lake end?

Travelers are so intoxicated by the spring breeze

that they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou

Yuewen, what are you doing here again?

Go drink somewhere else...

l'm Lord Yue's descendant

Why can't l come to his temple?

We know that you're Lord Yue's descendant and that you're very patriotic

But today is the Lantern Festival we have to do business

Please do us a favour...

Lantern Festival?

Please...

Lantern Festival

Lantern Festival...

- Smash it - Don't...

You've destroyed my lanterns you have to pay for them

Not only am l going to destroy your lanterns

l'm also going to give you a good beating so you can wake up from your stupor

You're mad!

l'm not mad, you're the ones who are mad

ln the past

Lord Yue nobly sacrificed himself

for the sake of the country and all of the Song people

But you...

You heartless beasts...

You're just enjoying yourself in Lord Yue's temple

Let me ask you...

How can you face Lord Yue?

- Are you done? - No

Now, half of our lands

have fallen under the control of the Jin scoundrels

lf you don't think of a way to save the country now

when the Jins cross the river and reach our country

all of you will become their slaves!

l don't understand what you're talking about

But if you don't leave, l'm going to break your legs

l'm not leaving! l've still got plenty to say

- How dare you - l haven't finished

You won't cry until it's too late!

Forget it...

lt's none of your business!

- Sir, leave quickly! - l'm not leaving

Just go, don't talk so much

Think over it carefully

The beautiful scenery is heavenly

When will the singing and dancing in West Lake end?

Travelers are so intoxicated by the spring breeze

that they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou

lt looks like the Song dynasty won't last very much longer

Uncle Yue, stop drinking

Young man

lf the citizens of Song were all as patriotic as you are

the Song dynasty won't be in such a state!

lf we had another Lord Yue there'd be hope for the Song dynasty

Uncle Yue, l heard them saying that

you're a descendant of Lord Yue ls that true?

But l'm useless

l only know a few lines of poetry

l complain about it but l haven't accomplished anything

l've let my ancestors down

Actually, the ones who should be feeling ashamed are us young people

Uncle Yue you must know a lot about Lord Yue

My forefathers used to tell me anecdotes about Lord Yue

Really?

l heard that on the day Lord Yue was born

- a huge bird suddenly... - l want to go see the lanterns

But it's not dark yet

- Let's go - Rong-er

lt's you again! Why are you here?

So it's you. Just as well... Where are my clothes?

l threw them away

What? You...

l'm so sorry about that

Your clothes were torn, why don't l pay for a new set of clothes?

You are...

You must be the master of the house

lt's like this, it's freezing outside

And my clothes were stolen by this sneaky girl

You look like a good person l wish to stay here for the night

lt shouldn't be a problem, right?

We're all citizens of Song

No problem, please make yourself comfortable...

Now that this beggar is keeping you company, you don't need Brother Jing

Brother Jing, let's go see the lanterns

Rong-er, let's go back inside

Lucky lanterns, auspicious lanterns...

Brother Jing, he is selling lanterns

Rong-er, l only have a few coins left We should save the money

- Miss, take it if you like it - That won't do, you have to run a business

Rong-er, let's go have some noodles. Come...

Let's go

Young master He's in a stone house west of the city

The door is marked by a red lantern

- What else have you discovered? - l encountered many surreptitious beggars

- l believe they're from the Beggar Sect - Beggar Sect?

These little beggars are quite observant

Get Sha Tongtian and Master Peng to help at once!

Yes, young master

Spare some change please...

Someone's been killed...

Sir

Those 2 beggars

After them

- We deserve to die - What happened?

Though we've already killed the Jin spy

but l believe he has already divulged Yuewen's location

Get up

The leader is protecting Yuewen personally

There shouldn't be a problem

But we must be wary of Ouyang Ke's poisonous snakes

Go fill all the gourds with sulphur at once!

Fill all the holes around the stone house with them

- You mustn't miss any holes - Yes

Looks like there's a change in plans

lnform Elder Jian and Elder Peng to come back and help immediately

Once everyone gets here we'll lay an ambush at Yuewen's

Looks like there's going to be a a huge slaughter

- Elder, we're going off - Alright

Keep a lookout at the stone house We'll be there shortly

Yes...

Who are you?

As long as we're around don't even think about hurting Uncle Yue

- Why don't we kill them? - We can't kill people indiscriminately

Let's go back and inform Uncle Yue

Uncle Yue... Let's leave quickly!

- Leave? - Or we won't be able to get away

What's going on?

- Someone is trying to kill you - Kill me?

How can that be? You're spouting nonsense

We heard it very clearly

Don't tell me they're after my ancestor's Book of Wu Mu?

Book of Wu Mu?

ls it a secret manual?

The Book of Wu Mu was written by Lord Yue while he was in prison

lt contains everything he ever learnt

All the secrets of military strategies

ls this book worth stealing?

Lord Yue was an expert military strategist

lf the government could make use of the book's secrets

they could govern the country well

or even conquer the world!

l'm going to the capital to hand this book over to the government

Why would the beggars want to steal your book?

Need you even ask?

The leader of the beggars must be thinking of becoming the emperor

Don't worry

We've injured those 3 beggars just now

With us here to protect you, your book isn't going to get stolen

Young man, if the government manages to get this book

you'll deserve the most credit

Stop talking, let's go! l'll help you pack

Don't touch him

How would we know if you're not in cahoots with those beggars?

You stupid girl...

Quiet, everyone!

lt's Ouyang Ke's poisonous snakes

Uncle Yue, leave from the back door quickly!

Go help him out

lt's the two of you again

Miss Huang, fate always seems to bring us together

What is it? What's wrong?

Are you alright?

l'm afraid this is the end...

Even if this book manages to leave the house

it might not get beyond this town

Hurry, go...

Sir...

- Where's the old man? - He's gone

Hurry, go!

Rong-er...

Why're you here?

Why didn't you wait for us?

There was so much fighting going on that's why l left first

- lf only l had two more legs to run faster - Where's Uncle Yue?

Uncle Yue

How did he die?

He was bitten by a poisonous snake

Where's the book?

Did you steal it?

Steal it?

He knew that he was about to die

So he asked me to help him take the book to the capital city

There's hope for the Song dynasty now

l don't know about that

But there's hope for me now

He said that if l take the book to the city

l'll get a reward of 500 taels

Don't be too happy

Those people might know that the book is with you now

Then you're doomed

That's right

How much money do you have?

Do you have enough for your meals?

Why?

You don't look like you have enough for your next meal

Why don't l hire you as my bodyguard?

After l get the reward, l'll pay you 10 taels of silver

Only 10 taels of silver?

l wouldn't do it even if you gave me all the money

- Are you saying that the money stinks? - You stink!

Rong-er

This book concerns the country and our people

Even if he paid us nothing instead of 10 taels of silver

we are duty-bound to help him

You'll do it for free?

l'll keep the money then

You now have two choices

Either you follow me, or you follow him lt's one or the other

Your Highness

This is Song territory We shouldn't draw attention

Just call me 'young master'

Yes

Where's the book?

We almost got it

But Guo Jing and Huang Rong...

lt's them again!

Guo Jing? Where is he?

Tell me where he is l want him to return my snake's blood

Calm down

Yes

Young master, aside from Guo Jing and Huang Rong

people from the Beggar Sect are involved too

So the Beggar Sect is involved

Looks like our mission is getting more difficult

But l must get my hands on the Book of Wu Mu

l'm giving you 10 days

You must kill Huang Rong and Guo Jing within these 10 days

and get that book

Brother Ouyang

Stay here with me

There's something else l need you to do

Yes

What's wrong with the both of you?

You've been sneezing for more than a hundred times!

Rubbish, it's not even been 50 times

- 50 sneezes from each of you make a hundred - You...

There's a Local God Temple over there

Let's go sleep there

Alright, you go ahead

Go on

What about you?

Me? l'm used to wake up with the moon and stars above me

l can't sleep with a roof over my head You can go ahead

Stupid beggar, are you trying to be funny?

What did l do?

After l fall asleep, l might start to feel hungry

l'll get up and look for something to eat

Then l'll have to trouble the both of you again

lt's alright, go ahead and sleep...

Where are you going?

l'm trying to be funny

l'm hungry. l'm going to look for something to eat

lt's the middle of the night The shops are all closed

There's nothing for you to eat

Where there's a will, there's a way

lf you're willing to look, you'll definitely find something to eat

You should come with me

Or else, if that book gets lost

you'll become the world's greatest sinners

l'll go with you

Let me go with him. You should sleep

Go and sleep

Look at you, you look terrible

lt'll be terrible if you fell sick Go and sleep

Have you decided who's going and who's staying? Do you need to draw lots?

Sir...

Wait here for me

This isn't working

We've been walking for two hours

l think l'll have to wait till daybreak to find something to eat

Are you tired?

Let's go

Why do you have to wait till daybreak to eat supper?

Aren't there things to eat here?

You're greedy but cowardly

l'm not a coward. lt's just that l don't have money

How can we afford to eat at a place like this?

Money's not a problem

This hairpin of mine should be enough for a bowl of rice with chicken leg

Have you no guts?

What are you doing?

We need to talk to your boss

How much is this worth?

ls it worth a chicken and two bowls of rice?

Yes, why not?

ln fact, it's worth a suckling pig banquet!

Bring out the food then! After we eat, this hairpin is yours

Why are you still standing there?

Help the customer in

l'm just here for supper

lt's alright, l can walk myself...

Wait... Aren't you very tired?

- l'll get them to prepare a room for you - No need...

l'll just sit here. You can go in

l'm going to eat my supper

This hairpin of mine

should be worth at least 1,000 chickens and 500 units of rice

But today is a bad day for you

Your lady boss has fainted. Go in quickly!

Stupid beggar, even if you survive this time you'll be in deep trouble

What? He's missing?

Yes, he migght be trying to get rid of u

He kept stopping to rest

l let my guard down and fell asleep

When l woke up, he was gone

Where are you going?

TTo look for hi

How are you going to do that if you don't know where he is?

He...

What a waste. Are you full?

We don't know where that old beggar went

lf something happens to him...

Are you really worried about him

orjust worried about the Book of Wu Mu?

Don't worry

lf the Jins really invade us

we can go back to Peach Blossom lsland

lt's really beautiful there

No one will bully you, except me

Let's go have fun together

lf you continue like this, l'll...

You'll what?

l'll just leave

The bill, please

Sir

She's right here. Do what you want

- Take her away - Yes

What are you doing?

Look carefully

Her father, who's your future father-in-law has sold her to me

He's my father?

My father isn't so stingy

You worthless girl

How dare you refuse to acknowledge your own father!

l should have given birth to a chicken thigh instead of you!

You... Stupid beggar!

So you refuse to acknowledge me because l'm a beggar?

What if l was the emperor?

- Forget it - What?

- Where's the book? - Take her away

Let go of me!

Tie her up with that rope

Help...

So many friends. Nice to meet you all

Old beggar, where's the Book of Wu Mu?

The book? lt's with me...

Hand it over now

l almost forgot

When l was trying to cook

there wasn't enough firewood so l used it to start the fire

That's preposterous!

Wait... l'm getting sleepy

Let me rest for a while first

Where's the old man?

Sir...

Rong-er, over here

Sir... Are you alright?

How can l be alright?

You woke me upjust when l fell asleep

Did you hear a loud noise just now?

A loud noise? Was it thunder?

How can it be thunder in such nice weather?

lt's possible

Sir, where's the book?

What book?

The Book of Wu Mu

Oh yes, that book. l gave it to the girls at Cuihong lnn

They used it to start a fire

Cuihong lnn?

lt's a brothel. She brought me there

That's enough, stupid beggar Don't make trouble

What? But you...

Please stopjoking, sir

The fate of the Song dynasty hinges on that book

Hand it over to me so l can deliver it to the government

l told you l gave it to the girls at Cuihong lnn

lf you go now, you may be able to salvage it

Brother Jing, perhaps this old scoundrel really left the book at the brothel

You should go back there

But...

Go on

Alright, you protect him

Alright

l'll go sleep inside

Miss, please let us go!

lt feels terrible...

Let us go! We didn't mean to offend you

Please do a good deed and release us

lt's so noisy here. How am l supposed to sleep like that?

Let them go...

Yes, please let us go...

What are you doing?

Did you think l'd listen to you like Brother Jing?

Release me first

l got him to leave so l could take care of you

What do you think you're doing?

Come with me

Rotten girl! l just took a bath two months ago

l don't want to wash up Why are you doing this?

Tell me where the Book of Wu Mu is now

When did you start getting so concerned about the country?

l don't care about that

But whatever Brother Jing wants l'll help him get it

Did you think you could get it just by tying me up?

Don't be so smug

The tide is going to come in soon

l know, when the water rises it'll come up to my feet at most

l'm not going to drown

That's right. Later, when the water rises it'll only reach your feet

But when night falls it'll reach your eyebrows

l'm tough enough to survive it You don't have to worry about me

Alright, we'll see how long you can last

Are you going to stay here and keep me company?

l don't want to smell that stench of yours l'm going to take a nap first

You'd better pray that l don't oversleep

or you'll be on your own

18 Dragon Subduing Palms

18 Dragon Subduing Palms

Don't tell me that old beggar is...

That's right

That old beggar is Hong Qigong

l think he only used two-tenths of his strength

lf not, Sha Tongtian wouldn't have been able to make it back

Who's Hong Qigong?

ln the martial arts world

aside from the East Heretic and the South Emperor

the only one whose skills are on par with my uncle Ouyang Feng

is the North Beggar, Hong Qigong

What should we do then?

He's a force to be reckoned with

l think we should avoid an outright confrontation

Alright, you people keep an eye on him for now

When my teacher has completed her training

and when Liang Ziweng gets back

we'll settle the score with him

Help

Help!

Sir, l'm here to save you

Help! Hurry, save me...

l'm coming to save you

Hurry

l'm coming

How did this happen?

Don't talk about it. lt's my misfortune

An old man like me being tortured by a little brat

Rong-er?

Why did she do that to you?

She wanted to force me to hand over that Book of Wu Mu

- At least l was saved - Rong-er has gone too far

You're not without blame either

Where did you put that book?

l searched all over Cuihong lnn just now but found nothing

You've caught a chill

l'll go get you some clothes

Sir, wear this

Young man, you're clumsy and stupid but you have a kind heart

lt's the right thing to do

You mustn't be too kind-hearted Or you'll get struck by lightning

Why?

You'll understand in time

lt's already dusk

Did you just fall asleep or what?

How did you...

You lied to me. You said the water would reach my eyebrows

but it only came up to my waist

You

Are you trying to kill me?

lt doesn't matter if l die

But if he died, it's no use crying either

Who are you talking about?

Who else would you cry for?

l'm talking about Guo Jing of course

Brother Jing? Where is he?

He's now at Lion Forest

But he's about to loss his breathe

- l don't believe you - Then stay here with me for a while more

Stupid girl, you're no match for me
