Original subtitles

Seven gone, six returned!

Mother, it looks like the battle of Jinsha was...

...utterly to our disadvantage

According to this prediction...

we might lose a brother

Yes

But it's worthwhile to sacrifice one son

...for the sake of Sung Dynasty

As for my seven sons

I wonder which one will be a martyr

The queen's father is here

Daughter, I've bad news. Your brother...

Your highness

Arise

Thank you, my queen

What is it, father?

Your brother Pan Bao

...was beaten to death in a tournament

My brother's dead? Who killed him?

Yang Ye's seventh son, Yang Si

Yang Si? Father, I must...

My queen

Leave now

Yes, my lady

I'll plead with the emperor to condemn him

No, that's not the way to do it

Yang Ye has a secured position in the court

We must get rid of the Yang family

What's your suggestion, father?

We'll kill them all at the Jinsha battle

Kill

Forge ahead

Charge

Impressive spear-wielding of the Yang family

It has lived up to its reputation

Today is your doom day

Traitor

5th brother...

6th brother...

Eldest brother

Kill

Tartars

3rd brother

Let's go

Kill

3rd brother

Wait, catch him alive

Bring him back

2nd brother

2nd brother

Yang Ye

Pan Mei

Arrows

7th son

Traitor!

Shoot

Loyalty... kill

Charge

7th brother, father...

Father, we're a family of loyalty

Why would the emperor listen to the traitors

...and sent us into the trap?

This is the end for us

Traitor, Tartars

Come out, all of you...

I've found them...

6th brother...

6th brother...

Stop it

No, not them

Kill

6th brother...

Mother...

Good day, mother

Good day, mother

Don't worry too much, mother

Father and our seven brothers will

...certainly win the Jinsha battle

That's right, mother

With our spear-wielding second to none

Stop it, 9th sister

The Tartars

...would be terror-stricken

But there's no news up to now

Pan Mei's sudden plea to the emperor

and he assigned our family to the north

There must be something going on

The prediction says seven gone, six returned

Could there be another interpretation?

- 6th brother - Son

Come out here, Tartars

They've come back from a victory

Son, where's your father?

Pan Mei...

Where are your brothers?

Traitor

Son, where're your brothers?

Tell us

Go on

Sixth brother

What are you doing?

Sixth brother

Sixth son...

Focus, my child

Tell me

what happened?

Right, tell our mother

Why are you here alone?

I'm home?

Yes, you're home

How many Tartars have you killed, brother?

Tell me

Kill

How many? Not one

Jinsha Battle was a trap

Pan Mei... you wanted to kill us all

My eldest brother was stabbed to death

Second brother got cut into half

Third brother died even more tragically

He was trampled to death by men and horses

Fourth brother was captured

Fifth brother is missing

And my baby brother was killed by arrows

Mother

What about your father?

Killed at Liling Tomb. Father...

Yang Ye

Why are you kneeling? I will too

Pan Mei

Sixth son...

Seven gone, six returned!

The battle of Jinsha

only my sixth son returns; it's fate

Prince, what can I do for you?

Pan Mei, according to our plan

We've wiped out the Yangs at Jinsha

Why haven't you kept your promise...

of withdrawing the Sung army at the border?

So that my Liao troops can march straight in?

You have my absolute loyalty

But I've one concern

Yangs' fifth and sixth sons are still alive

Men

Prince

Our plan was perfect

Our weapons were made to counter the Yang spears

How could they manage to escape?

You should give them a second chance

...to make it up

We must deal with this soon

If they make a comeback...

it will affect our invasive strategy

We'll try to intercept them from different directions

We've got to uproot the Yangs

Tartar

You robber

Are you a deserter from the Yang family?

No, I'm not a deserter

No? What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

None of your business. Who are you?

Who am I? I live here

I'm a hunter

Sorry about it

Warrior, I mistook you for the enemy

So you're fighting the Tartars

That's right, after the battle of Jinsha

We got ambushed

No wonder you're hiding here

No, I'm not afraid to die

If not...

then what are you doing here?

The Queen's father set up a trap to kill us

Pan Mei used to be in the same camp as Yang Ye

Yes, we'd never have thought that

...he would try to kill us all at Jinsha

Yang warrior, let me tell you

I was a general working for Pan Mei

I know him well

He has always been jealous of your family

...for the outstanding service to the country

He's afraid that his status will be threatened

Then he worked with the Tartars to ruin your family

Pan Mei, you traitor!

I'll risk my life to testify against him

I want him torn to pieces

You won't have the chance to do that now

Right

He and the Tartars are on my trail

He wants to kill you all

Yes

My brothers are dead

My father Yang Ye died at the Liling Tomb

I'm the only survivor

General Yang

Yes, I hope you can give me a hand

...and testify against Pan Mei

There's no use, General Yang

Pan Mei is now in power

The Emperor won't listen to me

He will, after the disaster at Jinsha

I witnessed that

You're the only survivor

But what proof have you got?

Our family is loyal to the emperor, he'll trust me

You're over confident, General Yang

Say even if Pan Mei doesn't capture you...

he will surely accuse you

He'll accuse you of being a traitor and a deserter

You have a point

The emperor has issued out decree stating that...

I'm a traitor

If the emperor says so

What's the point of going back?

I can�t just sit here and see my country...

Your country doesn't appreciate your loyalty

Then to avenge for my family...

You must, but this isn't the time yet

Wait for your time

Learn from me. Forget about it for now

I can't

Surround it

Go through the tunnel

I must fight my way out

He ran into the tunnel...

Where's Yang's fifth son?

Don't know

Search

Yes

Give him up if you want to live

He's gone

Go

After him

Sixth brother

Leave him alone

Let him have his peace

...and hope that he'll recover soon

Knock

Yes

Open up, open...

Who is it?

Who dares to knock so rudely?

Who?

An imperial edict

Who's the envoy?

General Pan Mei, the Queen's father

Pan Mei

Traitor

Sixth brother

Pull him inside, hurry

I'll kill you

I'll kill Pan Mei

Open the door

Search

Yes

How dare you?

General Pan

Our family is in mourning!

How could you disturb us now?

I'm here to arrest the traitors

Who?

I've led the Yang family troops to Jinsha

and discovered that your family haven't fought

...their best. They're in conspiracy with Tartars

The emperor has ordered for their arrests

Ordered for the arrests?

Ours is a family of patriots. The Emperor...

has bestowed on us "Family of Loyalty" and has...

given me this dragon-head staff to rid the wicked

Mrs. Yang, you...

General Pan, just do your job

My husband and my seven sons were ambushed

...in Jinsha battle. They're all dead!

You should have checked first as to...

who is it that you are trying to arrest here!

This is our family's hall of fame

We take no intrusion

According to my sources, two are still at large

Who?

Your fifth and sixth sons

If they're still alive

and upon their return home...

I'll personally escort them to the court

Please let the emperor know that

I will be just. See the guest out

Yes

Please, General Pan

Fine, Mrs. Yang. Goodbye

Mother

My fifth son, where could you be now?

Kill

Warrior, you laid down your life for me

I understand you are hoping I'll stay alive

So that I can avenge for our country

You are right

The country won't appreciate my loyalty.

I'd rather live as a hermit and wait for the right time

Kill

Kill

Master... please don't...

Kill

Sixth son...

You Tartars

Sixth brother

Back off, you both

Let him vent his anger

Kill

Kill

Kill

Sixth brother

You...

I'm devoting myself to Buddha

You are...

I'll shave my head to become a monk

Our temple is in the middle of nowhere

You came a long way to our temple

What could we do for you?

Master, I've decided to become a monk

I am ready for it

Amitabha Buddha

You have anger and sadness in your eyes

I think this is an impulsive decision

Please wait, master

Why don't you ask who I am?

Amitabha Buddha

I'm a monk. Worldly affairs don't concern me

There's no need to ask

Mister

I'm Yang fifth, an accused traitor

Please don't lie before the Buddha

Master, I'm indeed Yang fifth

No, you're not

I am

A bladeless spear?

This can't be the Yang's spear

Please don't again falsely claim to be a Yang General

I truly am Yang fifth

Yang fifth?

Mr. Yang, please forgive my rudeness

Master

I can't go home and I can't avenge my country

I broke the blade, and decided to become a monk

You have your heart set in the worldly matters

You can't proceed with the tonsure ceremony

Master

I want to shave my head

Please don't stop me

Master

Please don't stop me

I want to be a monk

Promise me you'll shave my head

Don't be rude

Our temple is a place of sanctuary

You should be on the battlefield

A victor can live a glorious life

But what if he loses his battle?

The dead is unkind, the living disloyal

Amitabha Buddha

We are free from the mundane world's matters

I hope to start afresh here

You have hatred; and are very depressed

Perhaps you shouldn't be here

You're too barbaric

Very impressive

I want my head shaved

The hair is on HIS head

If he doesn't want them, no one could stop him

Yes, abbot

Thank you, abbot

Buddha of immeasurable Life

Amitabha Buddha

Revered abbot, you lied

Why don't you shave my head?

If you don't...

Then I'll burn down your temple

5th brother

Mother, the sixth brother is still deranged

He's in no state to testify against Pan Mei

Under the circumstances...

Our family name is being smeared

9th sister

6th brother, pull yourself together

We must testify against Pan Mei

Let's go

6th brother, we're in mourning now

We can't go to meet the emperor

6th son

I must go

6th son

Kill...

General Yang, you're awake?

Is this the Qingliang Temple?

Yes, this is the backyard

Then I've become a monk

I've become a monk!

General Yang, please stay put

You haven't eaten in days

I've been in a coma for that long?

Bring in some food

General Yang, the abbot has ordered that...

after you get better, you've to leave the temple

Tell your abbot

I'm now a monk

And I ain't gonna leave this place

Got it?

No wonder the abbot says...

What?

He said you can't be a monk

I can't, huh?

What are you doing here?

Agreed, I don't have a peaceful mind needed for...

chanting scriptures, but I could be a guard here

and practice with the others?

This exercise room is a place for the monks

You have no Buddha in your heart

How could you practice with us?

Don't worry

Although I'm not in peace

But I'm an experienced soldier

I'm not afraid of the wolves

Yang fifth

When you are hitting these wolves

...you've got to attack their limbs

So that the others can smell the blood

And know about the danger

Then they wouldn't dare to come back

You're wrong

Even the wolves are trespassing our garden

But as monks we mustn't kill

We would only de-fang them

No matter how fierce the wolves are...

without their teeth they are nothing

And we'd have taught them a lesson

Then they wouldn't dare to come back

Here we practice the poles

Hence we're skilled to de-fang them

Hence the name: The "Club to de-fang the wolves"

That's wrong

If you knock off their teeth

...and not kill them;

They'd gather their strength after they recover

...return to strike again

How many monks

...can face them then?

I can see that you're still blood thirsty

Master, I simply

wish to be a monk guarding the temple

I don't aspire to be a student like you

Since you've taken me in

Why don't you let me practice with you?

Are you challenging me?

You're right

But he has got his point

All he has in mind is for...

the best interest of the temple

With the way he thinks...

He has already broken our rule of 'no killing'

Masters, I'm reckless because

...I'm unacquainted with the rules

Please allow me to learn from scratch

Your Yang's Spears style

Every move is fatal

You must first cultivate your mind...

before you practice in the exercise room

Yang fifth

Yes master

I assure you that I'll be as calm as still waters

You've turned the Yang's Spear-wielding into...

poles style. You've mastered it very well

Master, then is this the time...

for me to join the others in the exercise room?

No matter what

Our temple is not a place for you

What you're saying is...

Leave this temple soon

No, I've given up everything

...to become a monk

I'll never leave the temple

What happened?

Master Zhihong has left the mountain

Who's trespassing?

Amitabha Buddha

What are you doing here, master?

To perform rites for the dead of the Yang family

Religious rites?

You're here all alone, is it?

Yes, it's just me

Where's your robe?

I've to travel far. It's not convenient

Where are you from?

From the borders

Catch him

Yes

Let him in

Yes

The general has ordered to let him in

Yes

Master, you can't go in...

What's going on?

Master

Miss 8th, the monk is here to collect alms

...and now he wants food. He has pushed his way in

Pushed his way in?

Yes

He wants vegetarian dishes?

If it's food that you seek...

you should have waited outside

Amitabha Buddha... I want vegetarian dishes

...cooked by Mrs. Yang

You're way out of line

If you're not a member of the family

...you can't step inside. Get out

Amitabha Buddha

Who are you?

Miss 8th, I am...

Did Pan Mei send you?

Stop it, 8th daughter

Mother, the monk is rude

He barged in...

and asks for vegetarian dish cooked by you

Simply outrageous!

9th daughter

Amitabha Buddha

Miss 8th, please invite the master in

Mother, he is sent by Pan Mei

Don't be rude. Invite the master in

Yes mother

Please, master

Mrs. Yang

I came here to solicit alms

and to get some vegetarian food

How would I know General Pan Mei?

6th Brother

6th Brother

Young master

6th Brother

Sorry about my son

You aren't hurt, are you?

Mrs. Yang

I didn't mean to upset anyone here

Master, since the battle of Jinsha...

my son has been acting sort of demented

Amitabha Buddha!

6th son

Mrs. Yang, your son is valiant

What a shame

Had it not been for the shock...

he'd be as good as Yang fifth

Fifth son

Master

6th Brother

How come you mentioned my 5th brother?

Where is he? Tell us

Stop it

Master Yang

A cue can enlighten the one concerned

Mrs. Yang, I must leave now

Master

6th brother

Stop it

Master, as for my vegetarian dish

Where shall I send it to?

Qingliang Temple at Wutai Mountain

Master

Stop it, 6th brother

So 5th son at Mount Wutai's Qingliang Temple

Why hasn't he come back?

I'll go look for him

You haven't yet recovered

Pan Mei has spies everywhere

God forbid if something happens to you...

we won't be able to testify...

in front of the court against him

Let me go, mother

I have a plan

The monk is here. Get ready

Please, I got ambushed

Help me

Tartars have infiltrated the town

You Tartars

Tartars have infiltrated the town

What were you doing at the Yang residence?

Tell me

Where's Yang fifth?

Tartars

Tell me if you want to live

I don't know who's Yang fifth

Come on, tell me

It's not safe here, take him back

Yes

Where could Yang fifth be?

Tell me

You are all useless

You couldn't handle one monk

When will we take over the Sung territory?

Fine, I'll raid the Yang's residence

Let's see what Mrs. Yang has got up her sleeves

Yang Fifth might be home

Calm down, your highness

It's just a matter of time...

before you reign over the Sung territory

If you raid the Yang's residence hastily...

that will only gather the officials' strength

That won't do us any good

Then what's your suggestion, Pan Mei?

Since the monk visited the Yangs

They'd have movements tonight

And we'll follow whoever leaves the house

Then we can catch all the fishes

8th daughter, 9th daughter

Pan Mei has been trying to hurt us all these years

We must find your fifth brother no matter what

...so that we could absolve our reputation

Mother, I'm a good fighter

Let me go

Don't interrupt, mother will tell us what to do

9th daughter, you are too impulsive

It's a long way to Wutai Mountain

Pan Mei has spies everywhere

You'll only wreck this

Wang

Here, madam

Get everything ready, 8th miss will leave

Yes, madam

9th daughter, you're responsible for 6th brother

He can't step out of this house

Yes, mother

Mother, 5th brother is headstrong

I'm afraid that...

Take this jade pendant off my staff

He wouldn't dare forget his dear ones, I guess

Wait

It stinks!

Where are you heading to at this hour?

We're going to dump the leftovers

Leftovers?

If we don't dump these

...the whole residence will stink

Put it down

We had the order not to give them a hard time

Yes

Go

Check for people

No, over here

Put it down

Miss

Get the horse

A young kid

Follow him

You can't go in

I've already observed the religious disciplines

I want to see the master tonight

Please, Brother Fifth

Wait for a few more days

A few more days

A few more days?

Yes

Brothers

Why aren't you practicing the poles?

Why are you meditating here?

What are you doing?

Where's the master?

Brother Fifth

The master's dead

Killed by the wolves?

Tell me

Was he killed by the wolves?

Abbot, how did he die?

Amitabha Buddha

Brother Zhihong knew that...

you're not focused on being a monk

He traveled to your home

My home? He...

He did it to help you

Hoping you could rebuild your family's reputation

Such good intention! So righteous!

He got killed on the road

Pan Mei the traitor

Yang Fifth

Go and fulfill Master Zhihong's dying wish

Abbot, I'm responsible

He died because of me

I'll fulfill his last wish

Good

But do you think you're up to it?

With all the practice that I've been doing...

...I think I can handle it

Well done

Thank you, abbot

Have a good day

We have a guest

Are you staying in our inn, sir?

You rat, how dare you...

rob me in broad daylight?

Mister

Mister

Mister

The jade pendant on your waist

What about it?

It is...

Where did you get it?

None of your business

You stole it

Nonsense

Then where did you get it?

It is...

Who are you? Tell me

The golden knife

Yang's golden knife

You are...

Where did you get this from?

Don't know

Speak up

Jinsha Beach

You traitor

Who are you?

I'm the 8th child of the family

Miss 8th

I was seriously injured defending this knife

Fortunately the inn owner

...took me in

Thank you, old sir

Don't mention it

The Yangs are a family of martyrs

All the citizens respect and admire them

Miss Yang, in this time of chaos

You're here on your own

Are you on a mission?

I'm here to look for my 5th brother

He's still alive?

Yes

But I haven't seen him anywhere around

A monk from Wutai mountain visited us

Going by his hint, brother could be at the mountain

Is General Yang a monk now?

That's possible

After the heavy blow to our family...

my brother could've been fed up of earthly life

That's why my mother gave me this pendant

Hoping to order him home to testify against Pan Mei

So that we could clear our reputation

Great, let's head to Wutai mountain

A large party is coming this way

Call everyone out from the inn

Pan Mei the traitor

We are outnumbered

If we fight our way out

We can never make it to the mountain

Miss Yang, don't act on an impulse

We've got to lay low for now

Bring the lady to hide in the kitchen

I'll think of a plan by tonight

Yes

What is it, sir?

Are you harboring the court's prisoner Yang 5th?

Yang Fifth? No

No?

That's right

We tracked a girl from the Yang's residence

...all the way here

You must be connected to her

No way, I have never met her

No problem

Burn the inn down

Yes

Wait, your highness

Yang Fifth might not be here

But his 8th sister must be around

If we burn this place down...

then we won't be able to catch her

They'll probably meet up here

Your highness, General Pan has a point

Lock this place up, no one can leave

Good idea

Proprietor, this applies to you and your staff

No one can leave

Yes

Where are you going?

Some refreshments for the boss

Come on, Xiaosan, where's my food?

Snacking at this hour?

Yes, for the boss

Sirs

I have a snack at this hour every night

Let him go

Thank you

Thank you, sirs

Hurry, Xiaosan

What are you doing?

Tying up the coffin

At this hour?

Yes, sir

We must deliver the coffin for burial before dawn

Otherwise it might turn into a vampire

Turns into a vampire?

Yes

Don't try to trick me

Take it away...

Yes

Wait

Open it

I can't...

Why not? Just do it

I can't. The corpse stinks

Open it

You believe me now? Close it

What's this?

A mortuary object

The golden knife?

The Yangs!

Yang 8th, you aren't going anywhere

Xiaosi

Yang 8th, where do you think you're going?

Traitor, you're in no position to talk to me

Were you looking for Yang Fifth?

Just tell me everything

Then I'll let you live

Otherwise I'll make sure you die a terrible death

Go

Stop it

There's no need to run after him

General Pan, he...

Your highness, let him go

Yang Fifth will show up before dawn

Men

Yes

Lock her up

Yes

Yang Fifth

Hurry... what's going on?

Someone's lying there

Bleeding badly

What? Bleeding badly

Mister

Yang Fifth

Yang Fifth...

What is it?

Abbot, this man

He works at the inn at the bottom of the hill

He's looking for Yang Fifth

Fifth...

Mister, I'm Yang Fifth

We've never met before

The Dragon Head Staff?

Miss Yang

My 8th sister

She...

She got ambushed in the inn

Fifth...

Amitabha Buddha

I must go to her, abbot

Amitabha Buddha

My sister is a woman, but she's brave

The worldly matters have nothing to do with me

The Buddha has a weapon to fight the evils

Then it's only normal that I do what's right

Remember what you promised us

I look at the Buddha, and I think of my family

You can't break the rules in front of Buddha

Abbot

I treat everyone equally

I'm sorry about this

Very good

What are you doing here with so many poles?

Are you here to stay or asking for directions?

Neither. I'm here to deliver the poles

What poles?

The poles of righteousness

You can break one, but you can't break them all

Where are you from?

Wutai Mountain

You must be connected to the Yangs

You barbarians

Catch him

Go

Yang Fifth, you'll die as a monk

I fear no death

Where's my sister?

She's in the coffin below

8th sister

Pan Mei, you'll pay for everything

Yang Fifth, you won't get away today

Come on

8th sister

8th sister, you...

5th brother

5th brother, come home

Sister

Leave me. Go, quick

No

8th sister

5th brother

5th brother

Abbot

Kill

Thank you

You broke the rule, abbot

I didn't, we're here to chase away the wolves

You've got your revenge

Let's beat the wolves

Yes

Traitor

You traitor

Amitabha Buddha

8th sister

5th brother

Take his body with you back to the court

5th brother, please don't go back to the temple

He won't return

5th brother...

8th sister, the world is my home

5th brother
