Missed marginally...

Xiao Lan, try again.

Alright.

- Ming Zhu. - Ming Zhu.

Ming Zhu, I can never perfect this.

Where are you going?

It's madam's birthday tomorrow.

I want to hunt game for her

and give her a treat.

You are so nice!

No wonder she loves you!

Madam's horse.

Madam!

Madam!

There's blood all over!

Madam!

Thank heavens.

You have been unconscious for a day.

Madam...

You're all here.

Before I die

let me remind you once again.

Madam, you won't die!

Madam, you won't die!

Listen, we've lived in Liu City

for generations.

We have lived in peace for few hundred years.

20 years ago, robbers wreaked havoc

and besieged us.

You should remember, their chief was Pa...

Pa Tien Wang...!

''Liu''

We were besieged

in the city for 3 months.

Though we were courageous against our enemy

they out-numbered us and frequently shot

demands for surrender into our city.

General, another demand to surrender.

Pa Tien Wang to the protectorate of the city...

You are out-numbered

and have been besieged for 3 months.

We are giving you 3 days as grace period

to open the gate and surrender

or we'll storm the city and massacre you all.

All because you are thick-headed.

General, our reinforcements have not arrived.

we can't hold out much longer.

Ministers have to die if the ruler is disgraced.

As things have come to this stage

we'll have to die with the city.

But we have only one more day's provision.

Yes, general.

The peoples' ration was consumed 5 days ago.

Give me the child.

Give me!

Help! Madam.

What is it?

He wants to kill his own daughter.

What?

General, our reinforcements are still not here, she...

She is so young. If she doesn't die of hunger

she'll be killed by the robbers.

It's better for me to kill her

lest we all starve to death.

Madam, we can't stay here forever.

For our children, we'll open the gates tomorrow.

I'll fight to the death with the robbers

while you lead women and children to escape.

Yes, general.

- Liu Huai De. - Yes.

- Liu Zong. - Yes.

Tell the people to gather their belongings

while you protect madam to charge out

and find a safe spot to settle in.

The alive can only rely on these possessions to survive.

They still blame me.

Yet this is better than dying together.

At least the next generation will be safe!

The women and children will be safe.

General has asked us to lead madam out of the city.

I have to go too.

No, madam trusts me and Huai De.

So much stuff...

I tell you.

They can't be consumed as food.

They'll be valuable when we reach a peaceful place.

Only I know about this, so keep quiet.

Right, it's done.

Along with the belongings I was led out of the city by

Mr and Mrs Liu Huai De and Liu Zong.

Unfortunately, the general died.

I got you out alive

but we lost contact with Liu Huai De.

And there's been no contact since.

Would they have

lost their conscience and escaped?

No, it can't be!

Huai De is not that kind of a person.

Where have they gone?

Right!

And where has the treasure gone?

For this matter I've sought information everywhere.

Up till now...

Madam, take your medicine.

Listen, a year ago

there appeared a Black Tiger gang.

They too were in search of the treasure.

So it's they who hurt you!

A few days ago I heard Huai De's daughter

is called Qing Qing.

I didn't realise the gang

discovered my tracks.

Madam...

Ming Zhu.

Madam.

You know what?

The kid who almost got killed was you.

You four learned my skills

and must find out the treasure

for returning to them.

Madam...

Don't chase!

This man is agile and alacritous.

I wonder what he is doing here?

Must be from the gang, and has come to get information.

The whereabouts of Liu Qing Qing

must be important.

So the information must have been leaked.

Let's bury madam and then look for Liu Qing Qing.

Alright.

No. 3 pays respects to the chief.

Report.

Any good news?

Chief.

Liu Huai De's daughter is found in Yang Kuk county.

At the same time a woman has been looking for her.

That woman is hard to deal with

and has wounded several of our men.

But she couldn't gain an upper hand.

Where is she now?

She died from injuries.

The daughter of Liu Huai De.

Are you sure?

Yes

- No. 2. - Yes.

Bring her to me.

Yes.

Qing Qing, moving house?

Yes, what a nuisance.

I have just moved here.

Dad, help!...

Help!

Help!

Stand still.

Damn, you want to die?

Help!

Who are you?

Who is that in the sack?

Damn, who are you?

You dare mess with my business

Zhou Ying Long, from Da Law School.

What? Zhou Ying Long?

Have you heard this name before?

Fear not, miss, I've come to save you.

''Four''

Miss, you dropped something.

Thank you.

One of the gang fellows has escaped

and he might return, I'll take you back home.

Alright.

What's your name?

Zhou Ying Long... and you?

Liu Qing Qing.

Where do you live?

Yang Kuk county.

You heard that?

Yes.

Good, got it with the least of efforts.

Let's follow them.

Right.

It's very clear that

he is the pupil of Da Law School.

Zhou Ying Long! Are you sure?

Yes.

Alright, you may leave!

Yes.

Let's go.

You look nervous, how good is he?

He uses a number of swords together.

He could throw his sword anytime

and catch us off guard.

No wonder even experts like No. 2

would get killed by him.

Yes.

Let's go.

There be must be a reason that the Black Tiger gang

kidnapped you.

They might have mistaken me for someone else!

Do you have brothers and sisters?

No, apart from my mute dad

there's only me.

What about your mother?

Never seen her.

Father is mute

so I can't ask him anything.

I suppose I had no mother.

Sorry to have brought this up.

You saved me and are concerned about my feelings.

It's really so sweet of you.

Look.

There's a nunnery there.

Let's go and have our meal first.

Alright!

''Pai Lian Nunnery''

How come you look so upset?

I'm fine!

Then why the frown on your face all the time?

The Black Tiger gang wouldn't follow us here.

Anyone?

Longevity Buddha

You want to ask about your fortune in marriage?

No, nothing of that sort.

We've come to seek a meal.

Please wait.

All our disciples have gone out.

I am the only one left here.

I'll help you cook.

Good! Come on.

Help! Mercy!

As I suspected you are a fake nun.

Help!

''Eight''

Miss Liu.

You want to kill me?

Sorry, I ran too fast.

You just get away like this?

What do you want?

I'm asking you!

I didn't do it on purpose

and already apologised a while back.

There's no one around.

Did you want to take advantage of me?

You are silent, must be guilt-conscious.

Miss, that's a wrong allegation.

What do you want?

Get off your horse and bow to me

then l'll let you go.

So you are looking for trouble.

Are you one of the Black Tiger gang?

Foolish kid.

If you don't bow to me don't think of getting away.

You look a gentleman and your kung fu isn't bad either.

It's a pity you consort with the robbers.

You are beautiful

or else you would have died by my sword.

Aren't you ashamed to say such things?

I'll let it go today.

Next time you wouldn't be that lucky.

To bully a girl is not the behaviour of a hero.

Help!

Brother Wan, so it's you!

Please don't misunderstand,

it's only because of a friend.

''Eight''

You're caught red-handed, and still want to deny?

I am the third in line in terms of seniority.

You are not eligible to lecture me.

Alright, I am not eligible.

Go and speak to the chief.

No problem.

What to do with them?

They'll soon wake up, go on!

Why are you wounded?

A gang stopped us.

Get on my horse quickly!

Wake them and wait for me at the inn.

I'll take a look up ahead.

''Follow the teaching of our teacher''

''The spiritual tablet of the teacher of Da Law school''

Third brother.

Punish yourself before Teacher's spiritual tablet.

Kneel down.

Kneel down...

Who the hell do you think you are?

How dare you cause such noise here?

Get out, all of you.

You consort with robbers

we can't let you pass.

Right...

Bullshit.

How dare you cause trouble here?

That reminds me... second brother.

Fourth bother!

What?

Let me ask you.

Who is the chief here?

Big brother of course.

Is he here?

He went out day before yesterday.

Second brother could assume charge.

Is this the practice teacher bequeathed to us?

You want to make me a fool

and snatch the chief's place.

Tai Ji, don't talk nonsense.

Then...

why do you keep me here?

If you want to punish me

you'll have to await big brother's return.

If we slaughter each other

that would be against the rules of our school too.

Sorry.

Folks, I have to get going.

Whoever stands in my way will die. Now get lost.

Second brother.

Let him go.

Let's wait till big brother returns.

Let him go.

Second brother.

He is talking unreasonable.

I am not the chief and I can't break the rules.

Right, I'll get Big brother then

and take you home on my way.

Okay!

Which would you do first?

Take you home first, of course.

I don't want to go, I want to keep you company.

How can this be?

I am hungry.

Alright, let's eat first.

Sir, leave the horses with me.

I'll return quickly.

Big brother.

Ying Long.

Oh, I was just looking for you.

Who is this lady?

She is Liu Qing Qing.

Big brother, there's misfortune in our school.

What is it?

Brother, let's talk inside.

Alright.

Please.

What's so serious?

Third brother has joined the Black Tigers.

You mean Wan Tai Ji?

I picked this up from him.

The Black Tigers have done many evil deeds.

This is painting one's own end.

If this were true

I'll bring his head to teacher's grave.

However I can't only listen to one side of the story.

You're right.

Where has this girl come from?

He saved me from

the Black Tigers.

I see, where were you heading?

I'll see her home.

Alright.

I'll check where Tai Ji is on the way.

Miss Liu, who else is in your home?

A dumb father.

Dad...

I'm back, you can't die.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, he saved me.

How long have you lived here?

Only a few days.

What have you been living on?

Hunting.

Hunting?

It's true, we've been hunting game.

If you like

I could make you a fur coat.

I've brought you home so I should be going.

You're going?

I can't stay here forever.

I know I can't keep you

but it's late.

Do stay till dawn.

That's the least I could do for you.

Alright!

I'll make the bed for you.

Kid, what are your

plans for Qing Qing?

My turn to ask, why did you ambush me?

I know you are not dumb, speak up.

Dad!

Qing Qing, run.

Dad, you can talk!

I am not dumb and not your father either

Be frank, who are you?

Who are you?

If you don't speak

I'll speak!

You again!

If you are not her dad Liu Huai De

you are Liu Zong who escorted the carriage.

We are from the Liu family.

I'm the kid who was almost

killed by my dad.

Where's madam Liu then?

We have been sent by madam Liu.

I have seen a member of the Liu family at last.

Who is this?

He is the hero who saved me.

Sorry I was rash just now.

You're too kind.

We're friends, please sit inside.

Light the lamps.

Come.

I've pretended to be dumb for 20 years.

At last I see members of the Liu family.

That year I followed the carriage

to escape from the city.

Then I discovered Huai De and the rest were missing

while I was running forward.

On hearing the carriage behind me, I stopped.

Then I re-traced my steps.

Huai De...! What happened?

I fear... I'll have to depart first.

Take some rest.

Your wife has gone!

Liu Zong, once we got out of the city

we were dashed apart by the robbers.

I thought you went away on your own.

Sort of took it for granted that you'd never come.

I know you believe me now.

I'll hand over this kid to you

so she could succeed the Liu family.

I still have one concern.

What is it?

You shoot off your mouth too often, so be careful.

I understand.

Our Liu city experienced such great disaster.

Now that we can get out of it

Pa Tien Wang won't let go so easily.

I have a great responsibility.

I'll never let General and Madam down.

Brother Huai De, if I can't find Madam

I... I will never speak again the rest of my life.

I...

All these years, not to mention I couldn't find Madam,

there have also been some strangers

trying to find out news of Liu Qing Qing.

That's the reason why we keep moving our home.

I pretend to be a mute, all because of my earlier oath.

I'm also afraid that you being young may leak it out.

Now my task is completed.

This is the treasure map.

Let me look.

Set up an ambush ahead.

Everyone, don't waste your time.

Give up the treasure map!

You.

Leave the map.

Let's go.

Ming Zhu, what happened to you?

She's been drugged by the Black Tiger gang.

Where's the map?

Map?

You had it and now it's gone!

What should we do?

Don't worry, I buried it

I'll take you there now.

Fifteen steps from the tree.

Come on.

Yes.

Dig deeper.

Let's go.

They beat us to it.

What to do then?

Open it!

Big brother.

Wait here.

Big brother.

I bumped into Tai Ji.

I also bumped into the Black Tiger gang!

Xiao Lan, we will follow them.

You rest here.

I heard you talk about Wan Tai Ji and Black Tiger gang

so once I bumped into men from the Black Tiger gang

I followed immediately.

I heard them say

Wan Tai Ji got a chest of jewelry

which turned out to be a chest of rocks!

Rocks!

I forced them to tell me.

Quick, act according to plan.

Yes.

Wan Tai Ji is with the Black Tiger gang.

Let's return to School

and discuss this with second brother

to see how we should deal with this bastard!

Okay, I'm going.

Yes!

Does this seem familiar?

What have you done to Miss Liu?

Follow me if you have guts.

Please...

Where are they going?

Move.

Please.

Where is she?

You should know better

than to dig your own grave.

Only you three?

Everyone's here?

Have you really got hit by the arrow?

Of course.

Keep him alive.

What?

They kidnapped Miss Liu.

It's the Black Tiger gang trick.

They lured us away and captured Qing Qing.

Could it be someone else?

I don't think so.

Xiao Er.

Xiao Ying.

You?

Black Tiger gang came to kidnap Liu Qing Qing.

We chased till outside of the castle

but were ambushed; luckily we escaped,

or we wouldn't be seeing you now.

We couldn't even save Mr. Liu.

Writings on the sword?!

Is it the sword of Liu Huai De!

There must be some purpose.

Prajnaparamita

3, 4, 5, 60, 76

Could it be referring to the sutra of prajna?

No, I think they refer to a place.

Place?

Yes, the place where we dug the treasure.

Wasn't there a sort of monastery?

The numbers must be a sort of code.

I understand.

Xiao Ying.

Get the hand-copied sutra by madam.

You help her.

3, 4, 5 fall on Bodhisattva.

On Bodhisattva?

Picture

Five characters are: In the picture of Bodhisattva.

In the picture of Bodhisattva

Let's go and find it!

No.

As a matter of priority

we should save Liu Qing Qing first.

And then search for your stuff.

I'll go with you then.

Thanks, but I can take care of it myself.

Why are you here, do you wish to be killed?

What about you then?

I... well, it's different for me.

How so?

I know, it's because of her.

Who?

Liu Qing Qing.

What do you take me for?

Sorry, I am wrong.

Alright, go back!

No.

This is the lowest wall, can you get over it?

You belittle me.

I didn't realise you were this good.

You flatter me.

I mean it.

Follow me.

Alright.

So you two come together.

I've met big brother.

C'mon quick, release Liu Qing Qing.

Zhou Ying Long.

Don't have any airs about being teacher's favourite

and that you have the Da Law sword.

Stop, make way.

Chief has decreed not to be rude to our honoured guests.

Gentlemen, please.

Please!

Zhou Ying Long is here.

Big brother, it's you!?

So the Black Tiger gang

is led by you and Wan Tai Ji.

Right.

We are brothers.

I will now discuss one thing with you.

What have we to discuss

I should kill you right now.

Don't be so stubborn. Using your kung fu

to help the oppressed

is a mere motto.

I hope you would tell me where Liu Huai De

hid the treasure.

You're dreaming!

Draw your sword, teacher taught only you

the Da Law sword.

Now I can see how good you are.

Alright.

I'll let you die by the Da Law sword!

The sword isn't a big deal.

Show them the girl.

Yes.

Hero Zhou.

Sister Ming Zhu.

How about exchanging her life for the treasure?

Sister Ming Zhu, save me! Help!

Alright, release her.

Where?

In the Prajna Monastery.

Take us there.

Move!

Move!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Why are you frowning?

What's the big deal taking them

to the Prajna Monastery.

I'd rather die by the sword

than be insulted like this.

Death could be of great importance or meaningless.

Blame your own Da Law School for not being good enough.

Your brothers are no good.

Bullshit, they are all heroes.

Then how come they only know hiding

and wouldn't come out?

Go quickly.

Xiao Ying, I understand what Ming Zhu is saying

they might have been taken to the Prajna Monastery.

How do you know?

I heard her just now.

Stupid.

Didn't Ming Zhu also mention the Da Law School?

Could Ming Zhu be asking us to get help?

I believe that's what she meant.

Right, I'll move right now.

The Prajna Monastery is here, go in.

Move...

Where is it?

Where?

I only know that it's inside the monastery.

If I don't make you suffer

you wouldn't know how deadly I am.

Speak, or l'll have your eyes.

Wait.

Inside the statue of Bodhisattva.

After all we are brothers.

Dismantle the two statues.

Yes.

Five Poison Formation, dismantle the statues.

Wang Shan Hu.

Second brother.

Don't even think of hurting them.

Have you forgotten the teachings of our late teacher?

So you are all here.

I am responsible for everything.

What can you do to me?

You two shameless louts.

I must have you die by the teacher's dirk.

Second brother.

If you dare start the fight

then that will be the end of our relationship.

I don't have a shameless brother like you.

You and Wang Shan Hu conspire together.

I must clean up the mess on behalf of our School.

Wang Shan Hu, even if you die ten thousand times

you still won't be able to pay for your evil deeds.

Stop boasting.

Let's see who is going to die!

Second brother.

Search.

Yes.

Nothing up there.

Nothing in the statue either.

You lied to me.

I want you to die a painful death.

I'm a straightforward person

unlike you who is cunning and mean.

You said it's inside the statue of Bodhisattva.

Don't force me to lie.

Dig it.

Yes...

Dig it.

Found it.

Brother, what are we going to do with them?

Light a fire, burn them all.

Light a fire.

Don't blame me for being brutal.

I must kill you all.

To prevent any future trouble.

This day next year will be your death anniversary.

I'll come back to seek revenge from you even if I die.

Let's go.

Didn't at all expect that we will die together like this.

But you are not from the Liu family

and you'll die without a reason.

Black Tiger gang is a common enemy.

You're pretty, it's unfortunate that you die like this.

If I could die on your behalf

I would be most willing to do so.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Dying even a hundred times for you I'd have no regrets.

We are people waiting to die

why should I lie?

Wait.

We must wait for the fire to burn a little before we go.

Xiao Lan! Ming Zhu, look.

Xiao Lan...! How do you feel?

Ming Zhu, see you in our next life.

Xiao Lan!

Ming Zhu, she's dead, hurry and leave!

Right, hurry.

Go.

Dismount from your horse and prepare for death.

You're still alive!

It'll be the same to die by my sword.

You're still boasting in the face of death.

I want you to die by the dirk of the School.

Ming Zhu, protect Qing Qing.

Kill these two girls first.

Yes.

Leave behind whatever you've got!

Stop dreaming!

It's dangerous in here, leave!

Da Law sword!

You, she...

Qing Qing!
