Episode 26

Stay strong, Brother.

Everyone help tend to the wounded.

Are you okay? Don't get up.

Laotouzi, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

These old monks have gone too far.

Big Brother.

Just give the word and

I'll poison the surroundings of this temple

so that its uninhabitable for five years.

Little Sister, you mustn't do that.

Master Fangzheng is kind and merciful.

He would never do anything like this.

There must be someone else pulling strings in the dark and taking advantage.

Say, these people sure are strange.

They like to play by sticking arrows in themselves.

They wanted to test and see if the arrow or flesh were stronger.

Peach Brothers. Peach Brothers!

Stop fighting!

What is this over here?

Very interesting.

Very interesting indeed.

What is so interesting?

It was so interesting just now.

Tell us! Tell us!

I just saw six mice chasing after a cat.

Mice chasing cat? Never seen that before!

Truly a wonder! Let's go see! Where did it go?

It's...

over there!

After it!

Daughter!

Why are you in such a hurry?

Those men are good for nothing.

If some of them die so be it.

Dad. I'm already worried sick! How can you still joke around?

All right.

For Linghu Chong's sake the three of us will crash Shaolin!

Brothers, come quickly!

There's a hole here!

Come quickly!

Open it! Open it!

A hole!

I'll go and find Linghu Chong.

Brother Linghu!

We didn't see the mice chasing the cat.

But we saw Miss Ren instead!

Come on!

Come with me!

Quickly!

Mister Zu.

Take some men and tidy up the temple.

Okay.

Where's Yingying?

Linghu Chong, use your head!

If Shaolin has a hole it must be to hide someone.

That's right!

It's pitch black in there.

I can't see anything.

You dummy, we can just light a torch!

You're the dummy can't we light two instead?

Bring the torches!

Let's go!

Hurry.

Quickly!

Can you hurry up?

Keep up, okay?

Come on down.

Hurry it up.

Be careful people in the back.

Keep up, everyone.

Come quickly!

- Coming... - Hurry.

Quickly, everyone!

It gets brighter up ahead!

Come on!

Hurry!

There's light up ahead!

Laotouzi, how is your leg wound?

I am all right.

Chief, it seems we're close to safety.

Step it up, everyone!

Quickly!

Quiet down please, everyone.

Friends.

It's been rough on everybody today.

But we have successfully escaped.

We should disperse now.

Should you run into any orthodox friends

please remember not to engage them or fight them.

If anyone hears news of the Sacred Lady

please spread it out across the martial arts world.

Please rest assured, everyone.

As long as I am living no matter how dangerous or difficult

I will definitely save the Sacred Lady!

Okay!

Everyone.

No matter what, we have experienced hardships together.

We will always be friends in the future.

Should I meet with difficulties in the future

I may trouble you guys yet again.

We will always come when you call!

No problem!

That we have escaped today is something to be happy about.

Let us bellow three times together

and give those orthodox people a big shock!

Okay!

We have gotten down safely!

Friends.

Mountains never change rivers never stop.

We shall meet again someday.

Master Linghu.

Whenever you call upon us

we shall all gather under your banner once more!

That's right...

Okay!

I shall thank you all in advance!

Linghu Chong.

The six of us are the worst at saying goodbye.

So we'll skip it!

Let us go!

Farewell!

Linghu Chong!

Tell us the next time you see mice chasing cats!

Let's go!

Master Linghu.

Master Linghu.

What do you plan to do now?

I want to go back to Shaolin Temple.

What?

I want to find Yingying's whereabouts so I can only return to Shaolin Temple.

- Then we'll go with you. - Right.

No, I will go back alone.

Have you forgotten?

You are the leader of our band of misfits.

They will surely kill you on sight.

Please don't worry.

I will not die so easily.

When I get a chance next time

I need to have a good drink with you two.

Get moving then!

Why are you still standing around here?

Making me so awkwardly sad.

I haven't felt such sorrow in years.

Have a safe journey!

Big brother befriends everyone so easily.

Even this band of notorious oddballs are so close with you.

Little Sister.

You should be on your way as well.

I stayed behind to tell you something.

I saw your father-in-law a month ago.

Father-in-law?

Your father-in-law has a bad temper.

Be careful not to set him off.

Big Brother.

We'll meet again someday.

See you again someday.

- Quick, have a look over here. - Come on.

Quickly. This way...

This way please, Headmasters.

Good.

Good!

Young hero Linghu is truly a chivalrous man.

Have a look.

This ancient temple is in perfect order.

From my long-term observation of Linghu Chong

I dare guarantee his character and integrity.

The way I see it, he has great affinity with unorthodox doctrines.

To even be able to have found Shaolin Temple's secret tunnel.

Please come inside, everyone.

Those unorthodox people were quite capable.

This mountain was securely surrounded and they could still escape.

It appears that on this mountain, there is a secret tunnel leading to the base.

Otherwise, how could they have escaped?

You have a point.

I've been here for over ten years

and I've never heard of any secret passage here.

Since its called a secret passage naturally very few people would know of it.

Otherwise, what would be secret about it?

Who's there?

Come on out here!

I only took a breath and blew off a little dust.

I can't believe you noticed it.

Yingying, come on down.

Such powerful palms you three.

You had already left Shaolin, Miss.

Why have you come back here?

These two must be elites from Blackwood Cliff.

Forgive me for not knowing who you are.

This is Cult Master Ren of the Sun Moon Holy Cult.

I am Xiang Wentian.

I can't believe after being gone for twelve years

you still show me such reverence.

I take it as a real comfort.

So it's Cult Master Ren and Left Guard Xiang.

I have long heard of your great names.

Why have the two of you come to Shaolin Temple?

I have been cut off from the world for long.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting

the new rising talents of the martial world.

These people are?

Allow me to introduce them to you.

No rush.

I've left the martial world for twelve years

but this last half month I've traveled around

and have heard the reputation of a few people.

I'm sure you are that Headmaster of Wudang, Taoist Elder Chongxu.

In terms of age, I should be a few years older than you.

But I did not receive the Headmastership of Wudang

until after you had retired from the martial arts world.

I am indeed a newcomer compared to you.

But I dare not claim to be any rising talent.

This must be the great Headmaster Zuo.

Indeed I am.

We've met twelve years ago already.

Has your Song's Sun God Palm improved?

It's a pity.

I've been out of action for twelve years.

So there was no one to challenge your skills.

One day in a cave is a thousand years in the world.

In these twelve years in the martial arts world

countless heroes have come and gone.

Your reputation in your heyday

is probably just an overblown legend by now.

Is that so?

These standout heroes you speak of should all be here today, right?

I would very much like to see how these so-called heroes measure up.

This is the Mount Hua Sect Headmaster Mister Yue.

I know of Heroine Ning of Mount Hua Sect.

But this Yue... whatever his name is.

I've never heard of it.

There is this young hero from Mount Hua however.

He was extremely skillful with outstanding moral character.

Unfortunately, he was always discriminated against

by certain common and petty men.

When we met however we were like old friends.

Since then, I've wanted to marry my precious daughter to him.

Although this man is young

his character and conduct cannot be matched by anyone here

other than Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu.

He had heard that my dear daughter had been held captive here.

So he led a band of warriors here to come and save his bride.

Mister Yue.

Do you know where he has gone?

Mister Ren.

You are the all-knowing one.

Why would you come and ask me where your own future son-in-law has gone?

Surely it isn't Linghu Chong, that little rascal that I expelled, is it?

You call him a little rascal?

Why don't you try calling me an old rascal?

That little rascal was a delinquent.

For the sake of a cultist witch

he mobilized an army of rejects to come cause trouble here at Shaolin.

If not for Brother Zuo's brilliant tactics

this ancient temple would have been razed to the ground by him.

If this kind of man is not called a rascal, what else would he be called?

Mister Yue's words are overly harsh.

Truth is that Shaolin is in good order today

due to Linghu Chong supervising his men.

All of Shaolin is truly grateful to Linghu Chong.

Good.

Do you see?

The words of a virtuous high monk

are infinitely different from those of a villainous hypocrite.

Don't you think so Master Nun Dingyi?

It is not difficult for one to gain fame.

What's difficult is for one to give it up.

You have made much noise since resurfacing.

Doesn't that confirm this saying?

Twelve years of imprisonment

teaches one to understand

how difficult it is to be truly free.

But right now there are people

who are distracting me from enjoying such freedom.

Abbot.

Do you think they should be killed?

Merciful Buddha.

Killing life in front of Buddha is a grave sin.

Cult Master Ren.

We have to put an end to these matters.

Put an end to it?

How do you propose we do that?

Merciful Buddha.

I hope for you three to stay here at Shaolin

and study the scriptures of Buddha so as to leave the world in peace.

Merciful Buddha.

Reform yourselves and achieve salvation.

The abbot shows great mercy and virtue to you.

Abbot.

We had an agreement and it was Shaolin who broke their word.

How can you speak of virtue?

Well said!

Abbot.

You are quite delusional.

I've been gone for twelve years.

Has the martial arts world ever been at peace?

From my knowledge

Qingcheng Sect had massacred the Fuwei Escort Bureau not long ago.

The Qingcheng Sect Headmaster Yu Canghai

is probably present here as well, right?

Why don't you keep him here at Shaolin to read scriptures instead, abbot?

You're full of crap!

It does stink indeed.

Headmaster Yu.

To be shamed into anger is not the way of our orthodox sects.

What a terrible stink.

You!

As my name is Ren Woxing meaning 'Doing as I Please'

I can only go along with my own temperament.

I shall go wherever I please.

It seems you've come to waste my time for your amusement.

Not at all.

Among the elites of today

there are very few who have gained my respect.

Counting it now...

there are about three and a half I admire

and three and a half I despise.

You've completely mastered the Yijin Scripture and you are also humble.

Not arrogant like I am, right?

Much obliged.

You have admiration for three and a half people.

I would like to hear about them in more detail.

There is an elite Master in Mount Hua Sect.

He is one who I admire.

Mister Ren need not beat around the bush.

My husband has no need for so much admiration.

You misunderstand me Heroine Ning.

Mister Yue is not among the people I admire.

The one I admire is Mount Hua Sword Faction Elder, Feng Qingyang.

One more amongst the people I admire is you, Old Taoist.

The Taichi Swordplay of your Wudang Sect is truly unique and unmatched.

However, you suck at teaching your disciples.

That's why from Wudang Sect, there has been no standout talents to this day.

Furthermore.

Although your Taichi Swordplay is masterful

it is not necessarily better than mine.

That's why I only admire half of you.

I am very much flattered to have gained your half admiration.

Ren Woxing.

You are the enemy of our orthodox sects.

Upon these sacred grounds of Shaolin

is it up to a former leader of the demonic cult

to pass judgment upon us?

Headmaster Zuo.

No need to be angry.

You may not be among the people I admire

but for the three and a half I despise you are tops amongst them.

I am overwhelmingly flattered.

You have great martial arts and you're also quick with your brain.

Those are to my tastes.

But you are overly ambitious.

I fear even Shaolin and Wudang would be nothing but obstacles to you in the future.

I suppose this is because you are talented.

However, you are just too sinister and ruthless.

That is not the way a true hero should be.

I despise that greatly.

Don't you be angry.

If you want to fight me I'm afraid you'd be no match for me.

Among those I respect, the one I admire most is not the great monk.

Nor is it Feng Qingyang.

It's the one who overthrew me as cult leader

Dongfang Bubai.

I am exceptionally powerful at martial arts and I am also ruthlessly cunning.

But I never expected I could fall into a trap set by Dongfang Bubai

and nearly buried under the West Lake permanently.

A powerful individual as such I can hardly not admire.

What you say is fair.

May I ask who's left among those you despise?

I'm afraid Headmaster Yu doesn't make the cut.

With your level of skill

if you train another 30 years

perhaps you may let me despise you a little bit.

You!

It was fate for us all to meet here today.

It's my great fortune to meet you all.

I came here to save my daughter.

Now that my daughter is safe and sound

I shall excuse myself from these sacred grounds.

Yingying, let's go.

Please wait.

What do you take this place for?

That you can come and go as you please?

Headmaster Zuo.

You probably came well-prepared, didn't you?

I would like to have a contest with you.

If you beat me, we will let you leave this mountain right away.

If I beat you the three of you must stay here for ten years

as recompense to the martial arts world.

What do you say?

That won't do.

Cult Master Ren said it just now.

The two of us haven't fought for over twelve years.

He probably wants to try it as much as I do.

Fine.

Three contests then.

What do you say?

So be it then.

Best of three contests.

It seems the clash between my Holy Cult and Shaolin is inevitable.

Master Fangzheng.

If not to eliminate evil for the world's sake

with the great abbot's reputation

you are not worthy to fight with him.

Let me kill this little Qingcheng demon first.

Then I'll come play with you.

No!

Make your move.

The Thousand Palms of Tathagata?

Correct.

Yu Canghai, die!

Do not harm him!

Be careful!

The Internal Strength Extraction skill!

A great dissolution by the Yijin Scripture.

All right.

This is the second contest now.

Abbot always keeps kindness to heart and was taken advantage of by a crook.

Merciful Buddha.

Cult Master Ren is nimble-minded.

He used wit instead of force.

I admit my defeat.

Despicable crook.

Shameless!

Within our Sun Moon Holy Cult, there's no noble gentleman like Mister Yue.

If Cult Master Ren was a gentlemen like you

he'd have cozy up to your kind already.

Why would he need to have this competition then?

Elder Brother!

- Dad! - Cult Master!

Elder Brother!

Dad!

Elder Brother are you okay?

Cult Master are you okay?

Dad.

Cult Master.

Ren Woxing's Internal Strength Extraction skill was actually ineffective?

Real Icy Energy?

Very good!

Headmaster Zuo.

You have not wasted your time these past twelve years.

Come.

Let us continue our contest.

The outcome is clear.

This one was your loss.

Right.

I've long heard of Left Guard Xiang's epithet, the Martial King.

It would be an honor to match skills with you on this day.

I wonder if I may have the fortune to?

I will oblige out of respect.

I've long heard of Taoist Elder Chongxu's

unique and peerless Taichi Swordplay.

I shall have to try and challenge that today.

Please.

Wait.

Brother Xiang, back off first.

Will Cult Master Ren be enlightening me instead?

I am at too much of an advantage here.

To fight Taoist Elder Chongxu after battling two elite fighters

would be belittling Wudang's divine swordplay, no?

Although I am arrogant, I am not arrogant to the point of stupidity.

Taoist Elder Chongxu is a fresh force on your side.

Our side should also present a fresh force as well.

Brother Linghu, come on down.

Elders.

Forgive me for intruding upon this sacred temple.

When I heard someone with even breathing

and deep internal energy hiding behind the plaque

I had just been wondering which elite Master had come to Shaolin Temple.

So it was you young hero Linghu.

Young hero please take a look.

[Someone is behind the plaque.]

[I will force him down.]

[Wait.]

[This man's inner chi is both good and evil.]

[We don't know whether he's friend or foe.]

When elders came to this hall

I felt guilty, so I hid myself behind the plaque.

Please forgive me, Master Abbot.

Merciful Buddha.

Elder Ren.

Brother Xiang.

- Yingying. - Brother Chong.

Driven by passion to such an extent.

I should really admire you.

Headmaster Yu you overpraise me.

Kindness should be repaid in kind.

I only wish to repay Miss Ren for saving my life.

But I am also happy to hear such praise from you.

Linghu Chong.

You do not repent and examine yourself

but honed that slick tongue of yours instead.

If you had not fallen into a wayward path

the prestigious headmastership of Mount Hua would have been yours sooner or later.

Forget about the headmastership of Mount Hua Sect.

When I go to heaven in the future

my world-renowned and revered position of Sun Moon Holy Cult Cult Master

could not belong to anyone else but my soon-to-be future son-in-law.

Me?

Linghu Chong.

You must understand why your Master expelled you from the sect.

He was sad that you had failed his expectations.

But you should not abandon yourself to this and fall into line with evildoers.

- Headmistress... - Brother Linghu.

In the martial arts world

reputation and credibility are not given to you by any sect or clan.

It must be rooted in your own faith and belief.

What you have done here at Shaolin

are seen and judged by all that are present.

Taoist Elder Chongxu.

Master Fangzheng.

I've never studied books much since I was a child.

Nor do I know much about virtues and principles.

But I can still understand that you must repay kindness with kindness.

Taoist Elder Chongxu.

Please show your sword.

There's no need for this contest.

The four of you may leave the mountain.

Taoist Elder.

What's the meaning of this?

You would unleash tigers back into the wild?

At the base of the mountain

I had already competed with young hero Linghu.

I lost that time.

I really have no idea how to counter his swordplay.

I can only admit defeat.

Taoist Elder is extremely modest.

I now admire you up to 70 percent.

Okay.

Perhaps we shall meet again.

Linghu Chong.

Just go on your way.

From now on, we can only meet by the sword.

The next time we meet, do not blame me for not showing mercy.

Abbot, farewell.

Yingying, let's go.

Hold it right there.

Abbot.

Ren Woxing's internal energy is basically frozen up by my Real Icy Energy.

If we don't kill him now, when will we get another chance to?

Killing him would be ridding a grave threat to the martial arts world.

To go back on our word, is to invite scorn of the martial arts world.

Since we have lost the contest

just allow them to leave the mountain in peace.

Headmaster Zuo.

This is not Mount Song grounds.

Here.

Abbot Fangzheng is the only Master of this temple.

Wait a moment.

Taoist Elder will not deal with crooks.

That is because he is benevolent.

But this third match has not been fought yet.

Linghu Chong.

How about I compete with you instead?

Master...

How interesting.

Mister Yue.

Mount Hua Sect is not solely held by you.

Linghu Chong.

Show him the Nine Swords of Dugu that was passed down to you by Elder Feng.

The soul and essence of Mount Hua Sect is actually held in your hands.

For Mount Hua to have spawned a traitor like you

who else would clean it up if not me?

Come.

No matter what one of us dies today.

Master.
