"MING DYNASTY DURING WAN LI PERIOD" "THE FORBIDDEN PALACE THE IMPERIAL LIBRARY" "THE PRIZED SUNFLOWER VOLUME" "THE IMPERIAL LIBRARY" "I found it." "The Prized Sunflower Volume?" "Leave us!" "The Prized Sunflower Volume is a secret volume of martial arts." "It was written in the third year of the Hong Wu period." "It contains mystical..." "Enough!" "This is a very serious issue." "The Western Imperial Secretariat has always worked against us." "If they found out that this has occurred in an area under our jurisdiction, they will definitely go to the emperor and tell him everything." "If the emperor takes any notice, it will be the end of us." "There has been so much turmoil in the Imperial household, and now with trouble ahead, I doubt we'll be able to avoid recrimination." "Do you need me to make preparations to find a scapegoat?" "The Forbidden Palace is extremely well guarded." "An outsider would not be able to enter and steal things." "Check and see if any Imperial officials have recently retired or asked for leave." "Be mindful not to involve too many strangers in this issue." "I understand." "To avoid complications, we'll only involve our own people." "FUJIAN PROVINCE, FUZHOU DISTRICT" "In the past ten days, two people left the Imperial Household." "One died from illness." "The other is Imperial official Lam Jan Nam." "His arch rival became his supervisor." "That was his reason for resigning." "He didn't retire then, but instead waited to retire three days ago." "He's our prime suspect." "This is his ancestral home." "Lam Jan Nam is inside the house." "We've blocked off the surrounding roads." "We've arrested everyone coming in and out of the house." "Now all that's left to do is for Your Eminence to seize him." "Sir, as we control this area, why are we still so cautious, when we can attack?" "If we raise the pennant of the Eastern Imperial Secretariat, and our retrieval fails, and rumour of it gets out, how am I to explain it?" "We must blame it on someone else." "Lam Jan Nam's family won't make it through the night." "Why the panic?" "What's the problem?" "Sir, someone has crossed our defensive line." "Quickly unblock their meridian points!" "Yes!" "We have a martial arts expert." " What happened?" " Someone's gone into the house." "Everyone, be on your guard." "Someone has crossed the line." "We don't know who it is." "Quickly hide the gunpowder and arm yourselves!" "Arm yourselves with swords and knives." "Be alert!" "Hurry up!" " Be careful!" " Okay!" "Sir, didn't you ask some people to come to help us?" "Could it be them?" "Soldiers have to be deceitful." "We need to stay calm and see whether it's friend or foe." "Is it Grand Master Ngok?" "Are you from Hua Mountain Sect?" "I'm Ling Wu Chung of Hua Mountain!" "What the...?" "I'm under orders to request an audience with Official Lam Jan Nam." "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Hey, hurry up!" "We've got their full attention!" "How can we be this discourteous?" "May I ask who in this crowd is Official Lam Jan Nam?" "I am no longer an Imperial official." "There's no need to extend me that courtesy." "Then why so many officials and soldiers outside?" "Are they your men?" " They are..." " Wait..." "You're correct." "You have already resigned, yet you can still mobilise so many troops." "We almost couldn't get in!" "We who have been officials naturally have many enemies." "The Imperial Court values me, so it sent troops to protect us." "So you two are..." "Like I said before, I'm Ling Wu Chung of Hua Mountain." " I'm from Hua Mountain..." " A junior student." "He's like a brother to me." "I blocked two of your men's meridian points." "Let me go and unblock them." "No, don't bother." "They have not studied martial arts well enough." "Let them suffer." "Guards, take them to the kitchen, and feed them if they're hungry." " Yes!" " Yes!" "Our sifu sent us to deliver something to you, Mr. Lam, but there's also a letter." "You have to read the letter before opening the package." " Ngan, get it out." " Okay." "My sifu said I had to hand it directly to Official Lam, I mean, Mr. Lam." "Bring it over." "Hurry up!" "What were you thinking?" "Where did you put it?" "It's not here?" "I think I gave it to you." " When did you ever give it to me?" " I'm sure I did!" "I was afraid to lose it, so that's why I gave it back to you!" " Where is it?" "!" " So sorry for keeping you waiting." "Reporting in, your Eminence." "We found a letter on the mountain." "The martial arts expert must have dropped it." ""My dear friend Jan Nam." "Due to other matters, my arrival has been delayed, so I sent a senior student, Ling Wu Chung, to deliver a box of sleeping gas, to aid you against your enemies." "Don't forget that the box is booby-trapped." "Please do not open it unless it's absolutely necessary." "Your Eminence, look at the smoke." "There must be a problem." "If we attack them while they are helpless, we'll be sure to overcome them." "This is obviously a trap!" "They want to trick me with a letter!" "We will do nothing!" "Your Eminence is right." "We almost fell into a trap." "Put out the fire!" "Put out the fire!" "Quickly, get lots of water!" "Hurry up!" "Get water!" "There's gunpowder here!" "Don't use water!" "Use cloth to extinguish the smoke!" "I found it!" "I found it!" "This isn't it." "That's a fortune-telling note?" "You airhead!" "Find the letter!" " Grab those two!" " Yes!" "Who are you people?" "Forgotten already?" "We're from the Hua Mountain Sect." "Yeah." "How do I know you're not fakes?" " What do you mean fakes?" " Wait..." "You can test us." "As Mr. Lam is good friends with my sifu, he must recognise Hua Mountain Sect swordplay." "Let me demonstrate, then you can all pass judgement." "Please step aside, there isn't enough space." "Up on the tall mountain peaks, travelling alone on the plains, the wind blows away the fallen leaves, making the bare branches look even more Lonely." "The angry sword makes the skies tremble." "The thunder echoes in the softly falling rain." "There is no stronger warrior in the Shu kingdom." "I turn to attack," "I gaze upwards to the moon, I gaze downwards and reminisce..." "Be careful with the flame!" "I got confused!" "In my excitement, I added my own moves." "It wasn't Hua Mountain style." " Let me restart!" " It's enough." "I believe you're Hua Mountain Sect students." "If it's enough, then I'll stop." "Brother..." "Is there something you have difficulty expressing?" "What's important is not whether we are students from Hua Mountain, but whether you are really the venerable Mr. Lam, because our sifu has a message which we have to communicate personally." "All right." "The Lam family's "Iron Palm", including the move "Razing mountains, draining seas" is relatively well-known." "I defer to your judgement." "Bravo! "Razing mountains, draining seas" lives up to its name!" "Very powerful!" "He did it behind his back." "How could you tell that was it?" "He's got himself out of breath." "If you don't applaud, and are so tactless, how are you going to progress in society?" " Bravo!" "Bravo!" " Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "I've shown myself to be Lam Jam Nam." "What is the message?" "He said..." " He said he..." " Come down quickly!" "Say it louder." "I can't hear you." "Hurry up!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Can you be more quiet?" " Everyone, be quiet for a moment!" " Please repeat what you said." "My sifu says he's busy and he'll come next time." "Did you hear that?" " Let's continue what we're doing." " That's it?" " Yeah." " Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Escort the guests upstairs!" "Apologies for not taking care of you properly." "Please rest upstairs." "Escort the guests upstairs!" "Please." "Don't worry." "We won't come down." "Come and practice singing together!" "Hurry up!" "I haven't even caught my breath yet." "Must we keep practising?" "Practise less?" "We're surrounded by four-sided Chu songs." "What's a four-sided Chu song?" "How do we sing that?" "Sing?" "!" "We're surrounded by enemies inside and outside." "We're pretending to sing to pretend everything's okay, that's all." "I see." "Actually..." "There are two groups of people, inside and outside." "Once they start fighting, we need to leave immediately!" "Wow, it's so exciting!" "It's really been a trip well worth the effort!" "I'm going to stay and watch." "Hey!" "Continue playing!" "You're a good enough fighter to stay and watch?" "Sifu doesn't know you came with me." "If something happens to you, I'll never be able to go back to Hua Mountain again." "Then why don't we leave now?" "I don't want to get you banished." "I've no idea how many martial arts experts are outside!" "If it's that simple to leave, everyone would have left already." "We'll wait till it gets dark, then it'll be easier to leave." "Yes." "Something's wrong." "There may be another martial arts expert coming." " Protect his Eminence!" " Yes!" "Protect his Eminence!" "Protect his Eminence!" "I, Jo Lang Sim, Five Mountain Ranges chief, pay my respects." "Be careful!" "He's behind the screen!" ""Cold Ice That Takes Lives!"" ""Driving Great Waves to Rise Up!"" "I, Jo Lang Sim, Chief of the Five Mountain Ranges, pay my respects to Lord Gu!" "Lord Gu!" " Your Eminence!" " Lord Gu!" " Rise, everyone." " Yes!" "Fall back." "I am fully aware of who's loyal to me." "Although you're a practitioner of dark arts, you've worked hard as my advocate." "I'm just a loyal dog playing fetch." "Serving your Lordship means my future is limitless." "This time your Lordship wants me to retrieve a book called The Prized Sunflower Volume." "I've not had much chance to study, to avoid making a blunder." "May I ask what kind of book the Prized Sunflower Volume is?" "Hey!" "It's a hand-written scroll." "It only teaches the art of gardening." "If it's only about gardening, then it will be an easy job." "I will do as Your Eminence wishes, down to the last detail." "You don't have to know what the Prized Sunflower Volume is." "You have my warrant issued by the Imperial Court." "Acting according to my wishes will suffice." "Rest assured, Your Eminence, I will do my utmost." "Should I leave anyone alive?" " Try your best to avoid complications." " As you wish." "I'll begin at nightfall." "Brother, the water's really cold." "You're not dressed!" "Who wears clothes to bathe?" "Quickly bring my robes over here." "Still you rely on others!" "You should have got some clean clothes ready." "All this just because I asked you to get me some clothes?" "If you don't, what am I going to wear?" "Hurry up, I'm cold." "Please don't." "No." "If I help you once, you'll rely on me every time." "Get them yourself." "You even said we were like brothers!" "Who is it?" " I've come to deliver dinner." " Coming!" "Put on your clothes." "Coming!" "Coming!" "They're trousers!" "They're also trousers!" "My guests!" "Give it to me." "As we're in the countryside, we go to bed early." "Please retire early." "Okay, okay." "As we're renovating downstairs, you'll have to dine in your quarters." "Renovating?" "I thought you were demolishing." "See if the water's cold." "If it is, add some hot water." "Yes." "Don't come here!" "The water's hot enough." "Do you want me to boil to death?" "Don't come over here!" "Leave me alone!" "He's boiling with rage!" "The water's hot enough." "You don't have to add more." "Okay, we won't add any then." "Enjoy your dinner." "Okay, okay." "It's getting dark." "Put your clothes on, quick!" "If you're going to be disguised as a man again, don't bathe, skinny boy!" "Wow!" "There's so many people here!" "Are you all waiting to leave too?" " Yes, yes, yes." " Yes, yes, yes." "Hurry up and extinguish the light first!" "You have the guts to knock, but not to show your face?" "!" "If you prefer to be a coward, then stay out and freeze!" "The Chief of the Five Mountain Ranges has arrived!" "I am Jo Lang Sim, the Chief of the Five Mountain Ranges." "Last month we fed to the crocodiles a man masquerading as the leader of the Five Lakes." "The Five Mountain Ranges area produces many heroes." "On what grounds are you the leader of the Five Mountain Ranges?" "With no obvious grasp of humility, why don't you just call yourself king?" "!" "Lam Jan Nam, I'm not going to waste time talking to a useless fool like you." "Quickly surrender the scroll!" "If you were well-educated and well-bred, you wouldn't be seen as a shit-eating dog!" "A shit-eating dog is better than being dead!" "Light the gunpowder fuse when the innkeeper turns around." "Hey, I dropped something." "Pick it up quickly!" "Brother, I think I lit the gunpowder!" "Did you hide a lot of gunpowder here?" " Yes." " Yes." " Let's run away quickly!" " Hurry up!" "Let's go!" "The gunpowder will explode!" "Let's go quickly!" "We can't!" "There are still people inside." "We have to let them know!" "Are we going to make it in time?" "Fine." "As you're illiterate, you can take a lucky guess from all my books." "The gunpowder's been lit!" "Get away quickly!" "Get away quickly!" "It's been lit?" "Let's go!" "It's a trap!" "He was just supposed to keep the heat off us, but he's done this instead!" " Extinguish the fire!" " Yes!" " The Hua Mountain style swordplay?" " Skinny boy!" "Don't fight one of your own!" "Mr. Lam?" "Your leg!" "I'm injured." "We can't stay here long." "Have you seen my wife and son, Lam Ping Ji?" "Lam Jan Nam!" "I know you're hiding in the reeds!" "Jan Nam!" "Jan Nam!" "My lady!" "Hurry up and show yourself!" "Let's make a deal!" "Let's see what you have to offer!" "If you want a sample of what I have, I'll show you!" " Jan Nam!" " Don't make a move!" "For their safety, we decided to take separate escape routes, but it's been to their detriment instead." "You won't be able to save them." "Let's think of something else." "I'm really at a disadvantage now!" "You want to bargain?" "!" "Take action!" "Break her arms!" "Help!" "Jo Lang Sim!" "You're a member of the martial arts world!" "How dare you use such despicable methods against an unarmed old lady!" "I have no mercy for criminals condemned by the imperial court!" "Jan Nam!" "Catch!" "What is it?" "It's... an eyeball." "Jo Lang Sim!" "Stop immediately!" "I'll come out now!" "It's almost dawn now." "My men are very good at qing gong." "Very soon you won't be able to hide!" "I've been in a sea of danger my whole life." "Now that I've lost my position in the imperial court," "I was afraid my descendants would be under threat from my enemies." "This is why I wanted a means for self-defence." "I didn't think it would result in the family break-up and death." "Ling Wu Chung, if I don't make it out alive today, then I need to ask you to fulfil my last wish." "Mr. Lam, I'll do as you wish." "But you have to swear to the heavens to keep your promise." "I, Ling Wu Chung, swear to the heavens, if I break my promise, bolts of lightning will kill me and my corpse will remain unburied." "Tell my son, Lam Ping Ji, that I hid our family treasure under the water wheel." "Remember that." "My son's left shoulder has a scar shaped like a cross from a martial arts accident." "Lam Jan Nam!" "You're heartless like a wolf!" "Don't you want your woman anymore?" "!" "You animal!" "Why haven't you stopped?" "!" "I've already cut out her tongue." "Even if she wants to scream, she can't anymore!" "Fight me to the end!" "You have to make the best of the situation, and leave this place by yourself." "No, I want to be with you!" "I have to go save them!" "Sifu didn't realise it would be this serious when he asked me to come." "Find him and tell him." "I'll going!" "Brother!" "Mr. Lam!" "Chief!" "I think there's a student of the Hua Mountain Sect behind Lam." "Bow and arrow!" "Mr. Lam!" "An arrow!" "Mr. Lam!" "Remember my message..." "As long as you're able to tell my son Lam Ping Ji, then my death will be worth something..." "Mr. Lam!" "Mr. Lam!" "Skinny Boy!" "Let's go!" "Your Eminence!" "You've done very well." "You've burned all the corpses of the Lam family, but as so many people have died, sooner or later, the local magistrates will be alerted." "Don't worry, Your Eminence." "I've arranged matters with my men." "There's a Sun Moon Sect here, a Miao minority group." "They specialise in smuggling salt in this area." "We can blame them." "If the local magistrates pursue this Han Chinese and Miao minority conflict, the Miao could rebel." "SUN MOON KILLS LAM FAMILY" "Someone will be punished when news reaches the capital." "They won't be able to take responsibility for this." "It won't matter." "It'll just be forgotten in the end." "You really know how to react quickly." "You react so quickly." "If I'm not careful, then you might even get ahead of me!" "Please forgive me for making decisions without first consulting you." "Young man, if you take on too much yourself, you might lose your head!" " Get up." " Yes, Your Eminence." "WANTED:" "SUN MOON SECT CRIMINAL" "Uncle, there's so many people on the pier." "Is the boat late?" "They're sending someone off." " Oh..." " The Head of Seun Fung Tong is retiring." "After he leaves, no-one knows what will happen in the future." "We don't know how long the new Head will last." "We all grew up relying on this body of water." "I've been in service 41 years, and although not everyone is in harmony with each other there are only minor eddies of dissension between each other, and we haven't had to weather a storm yet." "Hey!" "I think I've seen these people in the Lam family home." " Let's leave quickly!" " Yeah." "Where's the backpack?" "Who is it?" " If you want to know, ask him yourself." " Fine!" "Without conflict, there would be no world of martial arts." "There would be no heroes." "I am now relinquishing the burdens." "I'm handing over the management of Seun Fung Tong to you now." "Venerable Head of the Tong, don't worry." "In the past few years, more boats are travelling on this river, and the imperial court is also paying close attention to our well-being." "I won't make major changes, just minor adjustments, so that we can all lead peaceful lives." "I will not lead us against the tide." "Whatever the tides are like, it's the people who are most important." " Leave!" " Get out of the way!" "No-one may leave this place!" "Our officials are here attending a ceremony!" "Do not cause a scene!" "I want to search your boat." "I suspect this boat is carrying someone from the Sun Moon Sect." "Don't worry, uncle." "We're not members of the Sun Moon Sect." "I am." "I have an old friend on the boat." "I don't want him to be disturbed." "These upstarts aren't from round here." "If we give them some money, they'll go away." " Master Chau, I'll take my leave." " Please take care of yourself." "I'm Ah Sei, the head guard." "If you want to cause a scene, come with me to the courthouse." " Come!" "Come!" " Someone's causing trouble!" "Kuk Yeung, you're a member of the Sun Moon Sect." "Don't come out." "Set Sail!" "I have a warrant from the imperial court." "Anyone in my way will be seen as a rebel." "Although there's more of you, to us from the imperial court, you're just a handful of people." "Don't try to catch the arrow!" "He's has a lot of nei li!" "The dog trying to catch the cat has instead caught a mouse!" "There was a Sun Moon Sect member on board." "He's Jo Lang Sim, a practitioner of dark arts." "The Imperial Eastern Secretariat minion." "He killed the Lam family!" "What?" "Luckily he doesn't know how to swim." "He won't dare to give chase." "What conspiracy is this now?" "Unfounded hearsay is the reason why we haven't met in over 40 years." "Over 40 years have passed." "At least we can both retire today." "This is a problematic district." "We shouldn't come back here anymore." "We haven't seen each other in so long." "Remember the song from our youth?" "Hey, we haven't played music together in a long time." "Young man, we composed this song together when we were young." "You can sing along with us." "THE PROUD LAUGHING WORLD OF MARTIAL ARTS" "The blue seas laugh" "Surging against both shores" "We are carried by the waves" "We are only concerned with the here and now" "The azure skies laugh" "At the disorder in the world" "Only the heavens know" "Who will win and who will lose" "The rivers and mountains laugh" "The clouds and rain are far away" "After the billowing waves are spent" "How beautiful the vulgar world of mortals seems" "The clear breezes laugh" "And they provoke feelings of solitude" "Noble sentiments leave us melancholic like a long stretch of moonlit nights" "MANUAL FOR PLAYING THE QIN" "The green earth laughs" "Solitude is no more" "Noble sentiments still make us laugh like we don't care" "It's Seun Fung Tong's big boat!" "Small boat in front!" "Lower your sail!" "Hey, lower your sail!" " Turn the rudder!" " Yes!" " Ram the small boat!" " Yes!" "Who's on the big boat?" "We're also from Suen Fung Tong!" "Ignore him!" "Ram the boat!" "Come with me!" "Skinny Boy!" "Jo Lang Sim, take this!" "The way of heaven brings prosperity, rebellion brings death." " You're spineless!" " That's how things are!" "You traitor!" "I'm clearing the way for the Imperial Court." "Jo Lang Sim!" "You son of a bitch!" ""Storm Clouds covering the Skies."" " Let's go!" " Into the water!" "Take this!" "Old friend!" "Old Kuk!" "Old Kuk!" "Are you all right?" "Old friend, I'm okay." "You be careful!" "The boat has a hole!" "Quickly, seal it!" " Hurry up!" " Hurry up and seal it!" "Hurry up!" " Venerable Mr. Kuk, your arm!" " Look after my old friend." "I'm managing." "Brother!" "They're both badly injured." "I understand." "I'm looking for a place to go ashore." "No need, young man." "Everywhere is the same." "Look at how nice the wide sea and blue skies are..." "We don't have much time left." "Old Kuk, we haven't finished singing "Proud Laughing World of Martial Arts."" "Old friend, I'm really useless." "Come over and help me." "After all these years, I've never heard you call yourself useless." "You're admitting you're getting old, huh?" "The blue seas laugh" "Surging against both shores" "We are carried by the waves..." "We are only concerned with the here and now" "The azure skies laugh" "At the disorder in the world" "Only the heavens know" "Who will win and who will lose" "The rivers and mountains laugh" "The clouds and rain are far away" "After the billowing waves are spent," "How beautiful the vulgar world of mortals seems..." "Brother!" "Venerable Mr. Lau, he's..." " Sir, we've reached the shore." " Take it slow and easy." "I'm not going back." "I give to you this qin and "The Proud Laughing World of Martial Arts."" "Consider it fate, the fact that we were able to be together and share a boat ride." "In the future, when you find an audience for it, pass it on." "I hope that you young people will be able to achieve what we, the older generation, haven't been able to do." "Old friend, I hope that we haven't given the qin to the wrong people." "We'll use up this barrel of wine." "SUN MOON SECT HAS DESTROYED THE LAM FAMILY" "He's dead." "Have you found all the weapons yet?" "We've found all of them." " Continue the search." " Yes." "Official Au Yeung." "Official Au Yeung." "Your Eminence, Lam Ping Ji is dead." "We still don't know the whereabouts of the Prized Sunflower Volume." "But before he died, he did reveal that the two who escaped were Hua Mountain Sect students." "One of them is called Ling Wu Chung." "From the Hua Mountain Sect?" "The Shaolin have fist-fighting, the Hua Mountain Sect their swordplay." "I fear that a dog like Jo Lang Sim won't be able to bite them." "I'm not sure what he's up to." "In the beginning, we only used him to keep the heat off us." "But instead, he's flashing the warrant we gave him all over the place." "As a precaution, should we do away with him?" "You're a very practical man." "It's not easy to keep a useful, obedient dog like him." "If you kill him, who will guard our door and bark at strangers?" "As you're so able, why don't you make the decision for me!" "I don't dare." "I know he's like a dog, but a dog will bite anyone when cornered." "We've mobilised so many people this time, could we be over-exaggerating and risking not getting the right result?" "You are indeed a miscreant!" "So many suggestions." "You just want to know what the Prized Sunflower Volume is." "Thank you, Your Eminence, for enlightening me." "The Prized Sunflower Volume is rumoured to be a record of the Sunflower Modus of Telekinesis and Teleportation." "Martial arts folklore says that someone who has telekinesis, can teleport through walls." "He has X-ray eyes that can see inside someone's body, and has a lot of nei li." "He can use his powers from afar." "It's hard to believe." "But I heard that our Emperor has witnessed it himself." "If I had known earlier that the Forbidden Palace had such a book..." "You may not believe it, but in martial arts, masterful experts are often surpassed." "Some think that they can do something very unique." "But they don't realise there are others who can!" "Take this!" "Our opponent is a very skilled swordsman." "Be careful, everyone!" "There's no need to give chase." "That person has a lot of nei li." "He evaded my attack, which means he's more than a match for any of you." "Lam Jan Nam must want to use him to deal with us." "Au Yeung Chun!" "Take a few men." "Try to blend in with the Hua Mountain Sect crowd on the way!" "Capture Ling Wu Chung and bring him back to me!" "Yes, Your Eminence." "Skinny Boy, are you all right?" " Brother..." " How are you feeling?" "Brother..." "I want to return to Hua Mountain." "The world of martial arts is too scary..." "Don't talk so much." "You've got a fever." "Rest a bit, then we'll talk later." "If sifu hasn't arrived at the Lam family home, he must still be harvesting herbs." "We'll find him and return to Hua Mountain together." "Don't dwell on things too much, okay!" "Press down on your Hegu meridian point." " Yes, like that." "Good girl." " I want to go back to Hua Mountain." "Someone's coming!" "Who's there?" "Old uncle, it's very dangerous here!" "Don't be around us!" "Get away quickly!" "I'm already running away." "Now you're asking me to leave." "I'm so old, where do you expect me to go?" "Old uncle, what are you doing here?" "I'm cooking." "May I fill my stomach before I leave?" "Look at your friend." "He must have got sick from a lack of food." "Don't panic." "The world is a big place." "There must be somewhere you can go." "By starting a fire here, the smoke could easily alarm the animals outside." "I have dry rations with me." "You put out the fire, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight." "That's settled then!" "Be my guest." "You're still very warm!" "I don't even know if I'm biting into your bun, or if your bun is biting into me!" "It's tougher than my old bones!" "What's wrong?" "Old uncle, we have to get away from some people." "Once you get out in the open, go west." "When the sun has risen behind your back, then you can return." "As long as you're not with us, you'll be all right." "I still have some dry rations." "Skinny boy, I'm going to go out and divert them." "Make your getaway east, that way, so you don't run into the old uncle." "I'll be able to find you again, okay!" " Brother!" "Be careful!" " I'll be fine." "Old uncle, you were meant to go west!" "It's pitch black." "I can't tell which way's which." "I don't know him!" "I'm Ling Wu Chung of the Hua Mountain Sect!" "If you need something, just ask me!" "You've got fair, smooth skin." "You're quite to my taste." ""Coiled dragon swallows tree."" "Go back and practice with your delicate fingers!" "Wow!" "The yin energy from his palm is so strong." "Kid, your trouser belt has come off!" "You're lucky I'm here, or you would have flashed your bottom!" "But you leaped out pretty well." ""A large roc spreads its wings."" "We'll throw... throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw..." "Sword!" "Sword!" "My sword!" " Leader, shall we...?" " Yes." "Reverse!" "Ling Wu Chung!" "Observe carefully!" ""Swinging sword manoeuvre."" ""Wave-like sword manoeuvre."" ""Lower-the-sword manoeuvre."" ""Whirling sword manoeuvre."" "You may not leave!" " Let's do it together!" " Okay!" ""Hacking sword manoeuvre."" ""Splitting sword manoeuvre."" "Yet another group to lose their souls by the sword." "We are all flesh and blood." "Why do we have to make such a mess of the world?" "Sir, may I ask which sect you are the grandmaster of?" "Brother, what's the point of caring so much about reputation and fame?" "It is the cause of countless disasters and turmoil in the world." "Sir, your martial arts are so skilful." "Why do you still live such an itinerant life?" "What's the use of being skilful in martial arts?" "Even heroes are made of flesh and blood." "Once the corrupt and the wicked have captured your family then you just become their pawn." "For their safety, I retired from the martial arts world, and left my family." "Emotions are stronger than any martial art." "You're a student of the Hua Mountain Sect." "You have to beware of your sifu." "He's not as righteous as he seems." "Why do you say such things about my sifu?" "So many sects in the martial arts world advocate righteous platitudes, but it's just power play." "Years ago, due to differences in opinion about martial arts in Hua Mountain, there was an internal power struggle." "Students were divided into the chi and the sword sects." "From verbal combat to physical combat, the result was dead bodies strewn all over the place." "At the heart of the matter was a power struggle to become leader." "Your sifu sacrificed many students to fulfil his ambition to become leader." "That's why you need to be careful." "How come you know so much about the Hua Mountain Sect?" "If you have a chance in the future, ask your sifu." "Ask him who Fung Ching Yeung is." "Fung Ching Yeung?" "The sword manoeuvres I taught you are called "Nine Solitary Swordplays."" "Each manoeuvre evolved from manoeuvres that had met with defeat." "In martial arts, how many are willing to study unsuccessful manoeuvres?" "You have to remember them." "Maybe they'll be useful in the future." "Although I did teach you a few things, we needn't formalise a teacher-student relationship." "Let's just acknowledge each other and be good brothers." "Fung..." "Old brother Fung!" "MIAO REGION" "Sir, we've discovered the Hua Mountain Sect people are staying in a barbarian inn." " Stay here, everyone..." " Sir, the civilian clothes are ready." "Change into them." "Think of some way to lure the Han Chinese to the barbarian inn." "There are strangers downstairs." "I smell blood." "Sifu, we haven't heard from our brother Ling Wu Chung and sister for so long." "Could it be them?" "I'll go down and take a look." "Inner chi is like bubbling, flowing water." "Inner peace is like an immobile mountain." "Be patient." "Everyone, sit and meditate to gather your chi." "Damn!" "Is this what you call service?" "!" "There are Han Chinese." "Sifu, do you think it's our brother?" "Help!" "Sifu!" "I'll go downstairs to check it out!" "He's not dead yet." "Carry him upstairs!" "You've had a close call." "Thank you." " Take them all away." " Yes." "Sifu, as per your instructions, we've buried the two dead people." "We also found something on them." "Sifu!" "It's a warrant issued by the Imperial Court." "We, from the martial arts world, never discuss politics." "Just as a river doesn't interfere with a well," "I don't want to know about your affairs." "If you don't mind, please leave as quickly as possible." "We of the Lam family have suffered the pains of extermination." "I don't want more people to sacrifice themselves for me." "Kind sir, I will never forget this benevolent deed of saving my life." "I'll repay you one day." "Goodbye!" "Brother, take this money with you." "There may still be people who want to harm you." "Buy a sword to defend yourself." "Take it." "You've been too kind to me." "Someday, I will repay your kindness." "All you kind sirs!" "Please accept three bows from me, Lam Ping Ji." "Lam Ping Ji?" "The descendant of Mr. Lam?" "Lam Ping Ji?" "You've been resurrected?" "!" "Ping Ji!" "You're Lam Ping Ji?" "How time flies." "I haven't seen you in more than a decade." " We don't recognise each other any more." " You are?" "I'm Uncle Ngok from Hua Mountain, Ngok Bat Kwan." "You're Ngok Bat Kwan!" "Uncle Ngok, there's hope after all." "You're my only kinsman now." "I didn't realise how dangerous and perilous the world was." "Now, everything's been distorted beyond recognition." "I, Ping Ji, am no longer the same Ping Ji!" "I understand." "I understand." "What's all this noise about?" "The Miao people are having a wedding." "Don't speak so loudly in Chinese here." "Let's split up and look for our sifu." "As the sun and moon bring each new day, our gods bless our tribe." "The Chief is risen again!" "The fake groom doesn't need to pretend any longer." "Let's inspect the goods that have been delivered." "Yes." "Is it true that there are some Han Chinese staying at our inn?" "They're all from the Hua Mountain Sect." "I heard they're here to harvest herbs." "While travelling," "I discovered many scouts from the Eastern Imperial Secretariat following us." "Maybe it's due to the success of our Sun Moon Sect's trade in smuggled salt." "They want a share of the pie, so that's why they attacked us." "Blue Phoenix!" "Your bad habits are showing again!" "Like a cat thinking of fish, you think of men all the time." "Right now, the Han Chinese are outside, wanting to take advantage of us." "If you don't behave, I'll punish you severely according to our rules." "I, Blue Phoenix, understand." "I wonder where Skinny Boy went?" "Hey, Skinny Boy!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Brother, I like you." "Little Brother, I haven't seen you before." "Where are you from?" "What's going on?" "You're a woman!" "Who asked you to enter?" "Leave now!" "Did you understand what I said?" "Leave!" "You're Han Chinese!" "A snake!" "Get out!" " Elder Brother?" " Elder Brother?" "Hua Mountain Sect is a renowned sect in the martial arts world." "We have 333 rules." "We adhere to them strictly." "If anyone breaches a rule, then I won't let him get away with it!" "You're a student of the Hua Mountain Sect." "You have to beware of your sifu." "He's not as righteous as he seems." "Blue Phoenix." "I told you not to mingle with men outside, yet you've lost us face to the Han Chinese." "If you don't change, I'll lock you up." "But he was a woman." "Chief!" "Our men have discovered the scouts have surrounded our inn." "It appears that they've come for us." "Tell everyone to be prepared and alert." "Steal all the weapons from the Han Chinese." "Drug their wine." "When they've passed out, tie them up." "If the scouts dare to approach, kill them." "We understand." "This is a chance for you to redeem yourself." "I understand." "Your punishment is to return to Hua Mountain for three years." "Yes." "I understand." "A symbol of our sacred Sect?" " Get out." " Yes, sifu." "Did Uncle Lam say anything before he passed away?" "Yes." "He asked me to do something very important." "What was it?" "Sit down." "Tell me the details of what happened." "Sifu, Hua Mountain teachers and students aren't equals." "Then stand and tell me." "You can tell me now." "I still can't tell you." "Why not?" "Not telling your sifu is disloyalty, a serious violation of the rules." "I know, but I swore to Mr. Lam on my life that I would only tell his son, Lam Ping Ji." "If I violate an oath, I would be breaking rule 58." "I would be lying to the heavens, and would have to unlearn my martial arts." "Rule 58?" "You're right, but if this message is critical to Hua Mountain Sect's existence, then we must make an exception." "That won't work either." "I'll be in violation of rule 79." "If I break my promise to save myself, I'll be excommunicated by the Sect." "But rule 26 states that if one repents and is willing to change, forgiveness is granted." "A gentleman may be forced to be acquiescent to the situation." "Then, if one repents and is willing to change, forgiveness is still granted." "You..." "That's even more serious." "I would be lying to my sifu." "It violates rule 83." "Deceiving a teacher means condemnation and heavenly annihilation." "Good!" "Good!" "You are indeed a top student." "I tested you on purpose to see if you did adhere to our rules." "Had you told me, you'd have violated his trust and your faith." "Sifu would have been the first to destroy you." "That was a close call." "Your test is over." "You can go to see Lam Ping Ji now." "Where am I supposed to find him?" "He's just next door." "The next room?" " Quickly tell him the secret." " So much for a long journey." "The Elder Kuk's qin." "Why does he have it?" "Blue Phoenix." "You need to first deduce if this person is a friend or foe." " Put the qin back where it was." " I understand." "Don't alert him." "Tell the kitchen not to use the 7-day sleeping draught yet." "When we know the whereabouts of the Elder Kuk, we'll make a decision then." "We understand." "You're..." "I'm Lam Ping Ji." " And you are...?" " Ling Wu Chung." "The walls have ears." "Come here a moment." "Before he died, your father told me to tell you a secret." "He said there's a Lam family treasure hidden under your family's waterwheel." "Brother Ling Wu, allow me to bow to you in thanks." "Don't mention it." "Brother Ling Wu, I know you like drinking wine." "Wait a moment." "With a Miao wedding taking place, I'll use this occasion to gift you this wine." "How did you know I liked drinking wine?" "It smells so good." "Sifu would like you to dine with him downstairs when our brother has finished talking to you." "Okay." "But our brother and sister must remain in their rooms as punishment." " I'll deliver dinner to you later." " Even better!" "I can savour this wine alone." " Smells great." " Bullshit." "The moonlight shines in front of my bed" "I raise my head to look at the moon" "I bow my head and think of home, think of home..." "Nephew..." "Where are you rushing off to?" "In two days, it will be one week since my father's death." "I want to rush back to arrange his funeral." "Such filial piety." "But it should be arranged by an elder like me." "There's an Uncle Lam managing the funeral arrangements at home." "Uncle?" "You have an uncle?" "I have to speak with him." "I'll take you home." " Sifu." " Sifu." "I can pass on your message." "If I bring him the message, it will save you a trip." "It's no bother, no bother." "Sit." "All of you, sit." " Take a seat." " Take a seat." "Uncle Ngok, you don't know my uncle." "And my uncle doesn't know you." "What's so important that you must discuss with him and not with me?" "For example, wedding arrangements." "I must discuss these with your elder." "Why would I discuss it with you?" "Right?" "A wedding?" "I plan to arrange a marriage between my daughter Ling San and you." "Uncle, I'm in mourning." "It would be unwise for me to discuss marriage." "Why don't we discuss this in a year or so?" "No, it can't wait." "You can't get out of it that easily." "I'll stand in for your father and take care of you." "I'll help make the right decisions." "You can't object." "Be obedient and do what I say, or I'll get angry!" " Let's dine." " Dad!" "I don't want to get married!" " Nonsense!" " I won't..." "You cannot speak out!" "Without me, you wouldn't exist." "This doesn't concern you." "Upstairs!" "This is for your own good!" " Lam Ping Ji eats dog shit!" " Nonsense!" "See if I don't kill you!" "She's so spoiled." "Uncle Ngok, thankfully you're here, or there would've been a scene." "Without a doubt!" "One's guard must not be dropped!" "Who is it?" " Open up, it's me." " Okay." "There's no need to hide any more." "My sister's here." "If you knew I was there, why didn't you say something?" "If you knew I was sitting on you, why did you let me?" "Leave now!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" " Don't tell my Chief." " Okay." "Leave!" "Look me up when you're free and I'll sing for you again." " Coming!" " Brother!" "Brother, sifu is planning to arrange for our sister to marry Lam Ping Ji." "Hurry up and think of something!" "Even a tomboy can get married?" "!" "Who's the unlucky guy?" "I don't know him." "If I have to marry, I'd rather marry you." "I've always treated you as a brother." "I don't see you as a woman." "How can you marry me?" "Even though I don't act like a woman, I can learn." "I can learn to be more feminine." "So what?" "I've never fantasised about you in that way." "We've been brothers for so long!" "What about loyalty?" "Look how fierce you can be!" "You're lucky if someone wants to marry you." "Will you two stop arguing!" "When dawn breaks, we have to go to the Lam family's home." "If you don't think of something soon, then it really will be too late!" "You're still drinking?" "Once you get drunk, Lam Ping Ji can carry you away!" "If we go, we'll have to wander forever." "Have you considered we'd never be able to return to Hua Mountain?" "Never go back?" "Yeah." "Make up your mind soon." "Run away or get married." "Don't delay." "Run now, plan later." "By the time you've come to a decision, it'll be dawn!" "You're still drinking?" "Hurry up and pack your bags!" "Be at the big forest before dawn." "Whoever doesn't turn up will be a nincompoop!" "Why are you not drinking the wine?" "I don't know how to appreciate wine." "I'm giving it back to you." "Blue Phoenix." "Who told you to drug him?" "I didn't." "Chief, he's not been given a sleeping draught, but a very strong poison." "And it's spread to all the different meridian points already." "If we don't do anything to save him in the next four hours, he may lose all his martial arts skills." "Damn!" "Why did you sit on my head and play music?" "What did you say about a head?" "Nothing." "I said the poison has gone to his head." "He's been seriously poisoned." " Bring him back round." " Yes." "Show me later how to play the qin with your head!" "Do you still want to drink some more?" "I can't." "I can't drink anymore." "You drunk almost all the wine available here." "Keep an eye on him." "Don't let him make trouble in his state." " Yes, sifu." " Yes, sifu." "The Han Chinese are leaving." "Detain them!" "The Han Chinese!" "Wait, Chief!" "If you kill him, no-one will be able to tell us what happened to venerable elder Kuk." "Feed him the poisonous worm so that he'll tell us about our venerable elder Kuk." "Chief, if we feed him the poisonous worm, he may become physically handicapped for the rest of his life." "You're still asking for mercy on his behalf?" "!" "I dare not, Chief." "These Han Chinese are working against us." "Cut him up after you finish questioning him." "Bury him with our dead brothers." "The blue seas laugh" "Surging against both shores" "We are carried by the waves" "We are only concerned with the here and now" "The azure skies laugh" "LAUGHING PROUD WORLD OF MARTIAL ARTS" "At the disorder in the world" "Only the heavens know" "Who will win and who will lose" "The rivers and mountains laugh" "The clouds and rain are far away" "After the billowing waves are spent" "How beautiful the vulgar world of mortals seems" "The clear breezes laugh" "And they provoke feelings of solitude" "Noble sentiments even leave us melancholic" "Like a long stretch of moonlit nights" "The green earth laughs" "Solitude is no more" "Noble sentiments still make us laugh like we don't care" "Mr. Kuk!" "Chief!" "This man turned out to be a good friend of our venerable elder Kuk." "Give him the antidote!" "If we don't first balance his inner constitution, and give him the antidote now, he won't be able to handle it, and will die." "Quickly render him conscious, or else I'll kill you all!" "One minute she says kill him, the next save him." "Pay close attention to Chief's orders." "Otherwise, if you can't save him, she'll blame you for the rest of your life." "The Sect's rules will be relaxed from now on." "The brave heroes from the Five Mountain Ranges are indestructible!" "Those from the Five Mountain Ranges are condemned by heaven and earth!" "Keep your inner chi steady." "Listen to my calming music." "Chief!" "Your playing is less steady than his inner chi." "You talk about being indestructible, but you're dead after just one move." "One arm in exchange for your life!" "Evil... cult!" ""Venomous snake rattles his tail."" "You have an iron claw!" "You have similar weaponry." "We must force out the poisonous worm." "You witch, you're shameless!" "Imperial dog!" "You're in my way!" " Leave Ling Wu Chung here!" " Leave this place!" " Still trying to escape?" "!" " Get lost!" " Take this blow!" " Get down!" "Now it's my turn to play!" "Come on!" "You still dare to laugh?" "!" ""Cold ice that takes lives!"" "Poisonous bees?" "!" "You witch!" "You cultists!" "Call off the poisonous bees!" "I, Jo Lang Sim, will definitely kill all Miao people!" "Jo Lang Sim, on behalf of our venerable Elder Kuk, I'm sending you to hell!" "Your Eminence." "Official Au Yeung has arrived, accompanied by the Hua Mountain people." "Tell the imperial soldiers outside to hide immediately!" "Have all imperial guards change into servants' clothing." " Yes!" " Hurry up!" " Cheung Biu!" "Li Yee!" " Present!" "Find me civilian clothes!" " Yes!" " Hurry!" " Uncle!" " Uncle?" "!" "It's been four or five years!" "I appreciate you coming to arrange the funeral of my father." "Ngok Bat Kwan from Hua Mountain Sect, insisted on coming with me to meet you." "He says he has urgent matters to discuss with you, sir." "Why haven't you set up a mourning hall?" "How strange!" "We of the Lam family want to keep a low profile." "We're afraid that if our enemies find out, they'll come to exterminate us." "That's why we haven't set up a mourning hall, but we mourn in our hearts." "Then you're really under duress." "Let us all pray to Brother Jan Nam in heaven." "We'll all kneel and swear an oath." "To the heavens above." "To the heavens above." "We swear to revenge the Lam family's loss by shedding their enemies' blood." "We swear to revenge the Lam family's loss by shedding their enemies' blood." "We must tear their enemies to pieces, so their corpses remain unburied." "We must tear their enemies to pieces, so their corpses remain unburied." "Brother Jan Nam, you who art in heaven, bless us so that we may find your murderers and revenge you." "Bow to the heavens three times." "First bow." "Another bow." "Third bow." "We will bow three times in the direction of Brother Jan Nam's bedchamber." "First bow." "Another bow." "Third bow." "Doesn't Lam family tradition include bowing to the guests in gratitude?" "Family... bow to them in thanks." "First bow." "Another bow." "Third bow." "Your Eminence!" "What games are you up to?" "This wily old fox wants to arrange a marriage between his daughter and I." "Even I ran out of ideas!" "Then what about Ling Wu Chung?" "I eliminated him with a poisoned wine." "What about the whereabouts of the Prized Sunflower Volume?" "I still haven't found out where it is." "The treasure is under the water wheel." "Damned thief!" "Where do you think you're going?" "Take this blow!" "There's a thief!" "There's a thief!" "Still trying to get away?" "!" "Take this!" "Don't try to escape!" "The sword energy?" "Are you from the Hua Mountain Sect?" ""Lower-the-sword manoeuvre."" "PRIZED SUNFLOWER VOLUME" "What kind of manoeuvre is that?" "Sifu?" "Ling Wu Chung," "Hua Mountain Sect's survival depends on this." "You have not seen me." "Where did it go?" "PRIZED SUNFLOWER VOLUME" " Thief?" "Where's the thief?" " Where's the thief?" "Where's the thief?" "Elder Brother!" "Careful!" "There are many imperial soldiers outside." "Some may be impersonating Lam family members." "Everyone, be on alert!" " Who is it?" " Sifu, it's Luk Dai Yau." " There's something going on downstairs." " Come in and swear an oath." "Take this scroll and prepare to leave at once." "This mission affects the fate of Hua Mountain." "If you have to sacrifice yourself, do not reveal this secret." "Yes, sifu!" "Skinny Boy!" "I hope you've been okay." "What are you doing?" "What is it?" "This is the Prized Sunflower Volume." "Hide it and don't tell anyone." "Why are you mad?" "What, you nincompoop!" "Nincompoop?" "You said whoever didn't show up at the forest would be a nincompoop!" "Didn't he say he'd poisoned Ling Wu Chung to death?" "Arrest him!" "Lam Ping Ji!" "You're mistaken!" "I'm not the thief!" "It was I who called out "thief!"" "You'll see the Lam family treasure is still there." "Stop bullshitting!" "I know you're involved with the Sun Moon Sect." "You're the main culprit who murdered our family!" "Didn't you just mention some treasure of our Lam family?" "What do you mean?" " Arrest him!" " Yes!" "He's the last descendant of the Lam family." "Why do you want to arrest him?" "He's the last descendant of the Lam family?" "There are a lot of people in the Lam family before him." "He'd have to wait his turn." "Do you know where the Lam family treasure is hidden?" "I promised his father I could only tell him." "After doing that, I've forgotten it all." "If you want to know, ask him yourself." "Uncle, don't let him divide us!" "Have mercy!" "Uncle, your rules are strict." "We as outsiders don't want to get involved." "Why don't you teach him a good lesson?" "A river doesn't interfere with a well, right?" "Let's help sifu pack and leave for Hua Mountain." "We take our leave." "Allow me to return this." " No need to see us off." " Ling Wu Chung!" "Did you yell out there was a thief?" "Yes, uncle." "Then why didn't you grab him?" "I wasn't a good enough martial artist, uncle." "If you, a senior pupil of the Hua Mountain Sect, weren't a match for him, who's better at martial arts, except for your sifu?" "!" "What nonsense!" "How dare you!" "Rubbish!" "Why are you all kneeling?" "What are you up to?" "Inner chi is like bubbling, flowing water." "Inner peace is like an immobile mountain." "We sit and meditate to gather our chi." "So much shouting, yet Grand Master Ngok, you're a skilled martial artist, you should have heard the commotion." "Why were you so late in reacting?" "Uncle, why would there be a thief?" "Don't listen to Ling Wu Chung's chatter." "He's very fond of lying and deceit, causing confusion all over the place." "Ling Wu Chung!" "You've broken the rules of Hua Mountain Sect." "I'm expelling you immediately!" "Leave now!" " Father!" " Sifu!" "Sifu!" "Stop!" "No-one here tonight may leave!" "Each country has its laws, each family its rules." "This is a matter for Hua Mountain Sect, and not the Lam family." "You want to talk about laws of a country?" "Fine, then I'll discuss law with you!" " Cheung Biu!" "Li Yee!" " Present!" "Put on your uniforms and prepare for a formal edict!" " Understood!" " Understood!" "Traitor!" "The Grand Master of Hua Mountain Sect, Ngok Bat Kwan!" "Kneel to receive an imperial edict!" "Ngok Bat Kwan accepts the imperial edict!" "The imperial court needs able men." "I appoint you as my personal security official, to assist with my activities." "From now on, you will obey my wishes and carry out my actions." "I, Ngok Bat Kwan, am a country peasant." "I'm afraid I won't be up to the task." "Nonsense!" "If you won't accept, it means you're discontented with the Imperial Court." "That means you want to rebel." "Is your inner chi like bubbling, flowing water, or is your inner peace like an immobile mountain?" "I know in my heart who's loyal and who's not." "Official Ngok, from now on, you're my man." "If you don't do as I say, then you're being disloyal." "The punishment is to have your head chopped off!" "We, in the Imperial Court, have our rules." "You must kowtow to me 1000 times." "Commence to kowtow!" "Ngok Bat Kwan!" "Commence your 1000 kowtows!" " Kowtow!" " Kowtow!" "Kowtow!" " Kowtow!" "Kowtow!" " Kowtow!" "Kowtow!" "One." "Two." "Three." "Four." "Five." "Six." "Seven." "Reporting!" "We caught a beggar who's actually a Hua Mountain Sect student." "It's Luk Dai Yau?" "Your Eminence." "Official Ngok, let me see how you handle this matter." "Traitor!" "Stealing from the Lam family means stealing from the Imperial Court." "I'm going to destroy your ability to do martial arts." "Bring me a sword!" "Move!" "This book doesn't belong to the Imperial Court." "It's a music score given to me by an elder." "It's called The Laughing Proud World of Martial Arts." "If you don't believe me, I can play it according to the music score." "If you're interested, you can sing along with me." "The blue seas laugh" "Surging against both shores" "We are carried by the waves" "We are only concerned with the here and now" "The azure skies laugh" "At the disorder in the world" "Only the heavens know" "Who will win and who will lose" "The rivers and mountains laugh" "The clouds and rain are far away" "After the billowing waves are spent" " How beautiful the..." " Stop singing!" "Ling Wu Chung!" "Luk Dai Yau!" "You're working with the Sun Moon Sect and have betrayed us." "According to Hua Mountain Sect rules, your martial arts must be destroyed." "You have to be expelled to appease our Hua Mountain ancestors!" "Execute the rules of our Sect!" "My brothers, take action!" "Sacrificing myself for the Hua Mountain Sect," "I, Luk Dai Yau, will receive glory in death!" "Don't sacrifice yourself for nothing!" "Sit down!" "Is this a mutiny?" "Do you want me to destroy all your martial arts?" " "Hua Mountain Sword Trap", en garde!" " Yes!" "Elder brother, be careful!" "Brother, be careful!" "You be careful too!" ""Seven swords joining together!" Is everyone all right?" "Kill him!" " Kill him!" " Kill him!" "Here we come!" "Let's go!" "Our sister is down there!" "Dai Yau, are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Father!" " Sifu!" " Sifu!" "Destroy all our martial arts abilities and let them go!" "You make me lose face in front of outsiders!" "There are so many other Hua Mountain Sect students." "I shall destroy all of you!" "Father!" "Please let them go!" "I have my brother's stuff!" "Grab our sister!" "Oops!" "I lost my hold on her!" "You're..." "Don't worry." "We came to check on your brother's health." "You dare disobey me!" "Die!" "Die!" "You can't die!" "Dai Yau, it's dangerous!" "Come over here!" "Save your lives!" "Protect the Hua Mountain!" "Hide behind me!" "Father!" "A two-headed snake!" "Ngok Bat Kwan!" "You hypocrite!" "You're just like this snake!" "You're double-faced!" "You're my official, yet you work against me?" "You mandarins, you're always considered to be in the right!" "Think whatever you like!" "Your sifu won't let you go free." "He's already sold out all your brothers!" "If you want to live, you have to fight your way out!" "Brothers, protect our sister, and leave here first!" "Hurry up!" "Give up the Prized Sunflower Volume!" "I'm such a powerful mandarin!" "How do you expect to fight me?" "I'm taking the scroll to see the Emperor!" ""Two columns supporting the sky!"" "Quickly untie me!" "Hurry up!" "Untie me!" "THE PRIZED SUNFLOWER VOLUME" "Who are you people?" "Why are you fighting against me?" "You don't know?" "We are of the Sun Moon Sect!" "Skinny Boy!" "Go up there!" "You ignorant youngsters!" "You overestimate your own abilities!" "If you manage to get away from me today," "I'll let you write my name, Gu Gam Fok, backwards!" "Fine." "I'll write it backwards for you!" "Elder Brother!" "Why are you still here?" "Get away now!" "Old eunuch!" "How do you read your name backwards?" "If I don't kill you old eunuch, then I'll write my name, Blue Phoenix, backwards!" "The Prized Sunflower Scroll?" "It's all right!" "It's all right!" "So much bloodshed, yet the Prized Sunflower Volume hasn't been sullied." "My position in the Imperial Court is secure now!" " Don't move!" " Lam Ping Ji!" "I'm not Lam Ping Ji!" "I'm Au Yeung Chun." "Your Eminence!" "Kill them all!" "Ling Wu Chung, when you were singing that song, you laughed at everything under the sky." "Do you really think that everyone has a right to laugh?" "There are some things which can't be laughed at." "If you laugh at the wrong thing, you could lose your head!" "So that's why I am eligible to have the last laugh!" "Remember." "Once under my command, if you're disloyal, there's no second chance." "I will have your head chopped off!" "The Prized Sunflower Volume?" "!" "The person most worthy of being laughed at is himself." "Are we going back to the Hua Mountain?" "Are we still allowed to go back?" "We may end up as nomads like the Miao people." "Elder Brother..." "I found your scroll amongst the rubble." "I'm returning it to you now." "The Prized Sunflower Volume!" "No, it's "The Laughing Proud World of Martial Arts," you idiot!" "You dare work against me!" "Prepare to die!" "A student fighting his teacher!" "Despicable!" "I am no longer part of the Hua Mountain Sect." "I'll fight you!" " I want to ask you a question!" " Keep quiet!" "Who's Fung Ching Yeung?" "Fung Ching Yeung is my great uncle within my Hua Mountain Sect." "You shameless youngster, on what basis do you dare to ask me about matters concerning Hua Mountain Sect?" "On what basis?" "We're sworn brothers." "That means I'm your step great uncle!" "How dare you!" "You dare discuss rank with me?" "You're wrong to have betrayed so many people!" "Hua Mountain Sect cannot be sacrificed for you!" "You traitor!" "I'll kill you as a warning to others!" "You don't even have a third of my sword chi!" "If you have the ability to penetrate 10 feet of my sword chi, then fight me!" ""Wave-like sword manoeuvre!"" "Throw!" "Throw!" "Throw!" "Throw!" "Throw!" " What kind of swordplay is this?" " "The Nine Solitary Swordplays!"" "Father!" "Father!" "Let him go!" "You've already severed the meridian points on his wrist." "Hua Mountain doesn't belong to him." "He sacrificed so many innocent lives to gain power, he's the real traitor."
