Original subtitles

According to the Jade Manual...

costly crystals...

are bright and have...

a magical power.

Anyone...

who uses them for sculpture...

must be very careful...

not to be wounded.

Otherwise...

if blood gets into the sculpture...

it will turn human.

Don't read this book...

it'll scare you to death!

Whatever this book says is it true?

I don't know.

That means it could be true!

Even so I'll be the first to die.

That's better.

Brother...

You have used the knife the wrong way.

For best results you should use the best equipment.

A fine carving knife can make a good crystal portrait.

If it was real...

then it'd be beautiful like a fairy!

But it lacks spirit.

Spirit?

Ee... yes!

You're right.

Youre crazy?

It will turn into a spirit!

Big Brother is magnificent...

he's bought his kingship.

Lately he refuses to see me.

I wonder why?

Poison Yama, the Prince and us are brothers.

Why is he avoid us?

I've judged him wrongly.

Let's drink!

Enough for today...

we should go.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

See you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Crystal portrait!

What's this?

Crystal.

Crystal?

Dad...

The crystal taken out from Chen Qun's body...

is only produced at the Jade Mountain crystal cave

I hear Long Fei lives there in retirement...

since he left the martial arts world.

It's been rumoured...

that he spent five years...

to carve out a crystal portrait.

He even dripped some blood on it to turn it into a spirit.

Could that...

crystal portrait be the monster?

Long Fei bears no grudge against us.

Then why did he kill our three uncles?

I think it's not that simple.

I must look into the case.

Long Fei!

Long Fei!

Long Fei!

Where are you?

Long Fei!

Are you really that timid?

You are really sick...

playing such a prank!

What kind...

of monster is this?

It's the legendary Sky Monster Bo Shium.

I've read a lot of scriptures before I discovered this.

Your crystal portrait has caused trouble...

and you want to create another monster!

What you say?

Do you realise?

Realise what?

That your crystal portrait has turned into a spirit

and he started killing people!

Rubbish!

I'm not talking rubbish!

Poison Yama is looking for you!

What has it to do with me?

Everybody knows that you produced a crystal portrait and dripped blood on it!

True...

but nothing happened.

It's still a crystal portrait.

I've put it away.

Where did you put it?

Come...

I show you.

It's gone!

Long Fei!

Come out...

immediately!

Don't act like a coward!

What are we going to do now?

You are a big guy and you know kung fu.

How come you are afraid of Yama's men?

I'm afraid of nothing!

Except that the crystal portrait may create trouble.

You believe what other people say.

So what is behind the disappearance of the crystal portrait?

When we get the portrait back, we'll find out.

Master...

Here's the poisonous fluid.

Zi Juan?

Here's your poison ivy.

Good...

Great done.

White Judge.

Squeeze the juice from these flowers and ivy.

Yes.

I don't understand...

what's their use?

This is rattan.

The flowers are called "Turkic Ivy".

They are produced in deserted countryside of the south.

The locals...

use them for...

brewing venom...

that can speed up growth of parasites inside the body.

You'd be careful...

this causes one's stomach to bloat resulting in death.

Yes.

Thanks for going to the southern border for this.

Otherwise it'd be hard to know when the venom could be perfected.

Let's rest for a while.

We need to talk about something.

You've been surrounded by poisonous stuff all day.

Sooner or later you...

Dad promised me that...

once I've perfected the venom...

we can...

leave together.

The secret weapon is made...

please have a look.

Tell my dad...

I'll present him the venom by tomorrow.

Help, Master!

Help, Master!

Master, please don't!

Master!

Help me!

Please don't, Master!

Black Judge, White Judge!

Yes!

Give the Venom to my dad.

Yes!

Looks like...

this venom is good enough to...

fight against the crystal portrait.

Long Fei's crystal portrait

may not be

as dangerous...

as the one actually...

standing behind it!

Kill those two men for me!

"Poison Yama and his son"

Crystal portrait!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Young master!

My beloved!

Crystal portrait?

Young master...

You two go...

and kill Long Fei!

I'll go for Big Brother!

"Prince Jin's Residence"

Your Majesty, your tea.

We are old friends...

no need to stand on such ceremony.

You've drugged my men...

with the poisonous gas.

Have you got anything to say to me?

Crystal portrait!

Crystal portrait?

Li He and...

Chen Qun are dead!

Cui Bai Hai is dead too!

And my son was...

also killed by the Crystal portrait!

Once there were five of us

who fought side by side with you!

But now they was killed...

one by one!

I want to know why?

Do you suspect me?

The tools aren't required

once the target is achieved!

With the power I have...

I needn't...

wait till now...

to kill you.

You've done nothing wrong to me

and I didn't treat you badly!

Do you think I'm still afraid of letting other people know that...

you've assisted me?

During all these years...

since I became a prince...

I have lived comfortably.

How would I get involved in matters...

of the martial arts world again?

It's so full of treachery...

and a person of my status...

"Make a quick retreat before crisis"

So it's really not you?

You've lost a son...

but I've lost four brothers who lived and died for me!

If you don't believe me...

you can kill me!

Once I press this button...

you'll be poisoned and die immediately!

If I can prove my innocence...

it's worth dying!

Brothers never suspect each other.

Unexpectedly...

crystal portrait...

I must return to the martial world...

to avenge my brothers!

Matters in the martial arts world should be handled by people like me.

I won't return if I fail beat the crystal portrait!

She's fainted!

Crystal portrait!

Although we've changed to travel by water...

this isn't a good way to avoid...

Poison Yama's pursuit.

No clue at all.

How can we find the crystal portrait?

True...

it's not easy.

If someone wants to put blame on me, I'll cleanse myself if we can find him.

Do you think it's done by "Bi Luo Fu" the well known in the martial arts world assassin group?

They think about blaming you.

I don' know.

Why would they do that?

Who knows?

Hey, boatman!

Will it rain soon?

It'll be raining soon.

Let's roll down the blinds.

This kind of weather is annoying.

Fatty...

Something's wrong.

What's wrong?

The boat seems lighter.

Lighter?

No boatman?

Exactly.

Boatman!

Boatman!

Boatman!

Look!

Long Fei!

What's that?

I don't know!

If they come to the boat?

Can you swim?

I can't.

How about you?

I can't either.

What are we going to do?

Let's go!

Fatty!

They've escaped again!

Who may be responsible for this?

It could be Poison Yama's men.

This crystal portrait...

has put me in big trouble!

If I find you!

We'll have a meal.

Long Fei...

Long Fei!

You care only about girls.

You're a bit too much!

You don't care about old friend...

just only flirting around.

Not quite...

this lady was poisoned and I'm just trying to rescue her.

My friend...

you are in great trouble now.

You must find crystal portrait to settle the score.

Poison Yama will be here anytime to kill you!

But you don't care!

I can't let her die!

You can't even save yourself now...

forget it!

You're right.

She'll die if you don't help her.

You were right...

never mind her.

Let's go.

No way!

Although this may not be the right medicine...

it'll sustain her till we reach Wu Fu Inn.

Are you tired?

Tired?

Do I look like I'm tired?

You don't look so good now.

What?

It seems I'm younger than you are!

Miss...

I'm seventeen years old.

I'm eighteen.

You are a year older than he is.

I haven't finished yet!

I said I started in the martial arts world at 17 and now I'm 27.

Miss...

I'm 9 years older than you...

a nine is a good sign.

It's nothing even if you've to push for another 9 miles.

Of course.

I'm not afraid of hardship.

It's nothing even if I've to push for another 90 miles.

Waiter!

Where are they?

Come and serve us!

We've been here for half a day!

No one has come...

to serve us at all!

Don't make me angry!

There you are!

Get to work!

You thought this were the only inn here?

This is the only inn 400 miles around.

Exclusive business!

No wonder they're so arrogant!

Do you think we have no money?

Open your eyes and look!

Looks like a wooden dummy.

Pour the tea now!

I wonder if...

I keep pushing this way, will I reach it to the Wu Fu Inn alive?

Miss...

What's your name?

Don't tell him.

We'll talk about it tonight at the Wu Fu Inn.

"Wu Fu Inn"

This is the Wu Fu Inn.

Finally.

Sir, this way...

Please.

Miss...

Please!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Please...

Please...

Better not to stop here, let's find another place.

Still have to push?

It looks dirty.

Dirty?

Miss has high regard for you, keep pushing!

Didn't you just say you want to stay at the Wu Fu Inn?

This is the only inn 400 miles around.

Another 400 miles would kill me definitely.

Miss...

be more accommodating.

I don't want to stay here!

You don't like it.

Didn't you say you know women well?

You must think this place is too noisy?

No Sir!

No one lives here!

No one?

That means something is bad here!

You are right.

Let's go.

Don't be rash...

follow them.

Stop!

Stop in here?

This is it.

What?

This one?

Since I was born...

and I'm 37 years old...

I've never stayed in such a place!

I've never travelled

such a long journey in my life.

Not realising that he's 10 years older now?

Don't grow old further so quickly.

Knock on the door!

What?

Me again?

Come on.

Alright...

as you wish.

Anybody home?

It's empty.

It's full of cobwebs.

This is not so bad.

That's right!

One good thing about this place is...

it's free!

Who said that?

Excuse me, madam...

Damn you, I'm not yet married!

I'm sorry...

Miss.

That's better!

This guy...

likes woman of any age.

Don't be fooled by him.

Miss...

it's just a small token.

Let it be.

You've good taste...

and are efficient too!

It'd be disastrous if I walked slower and being the second every time.

What are you doing...

at this late hour?

So sneaky, you must be up to something bad!

No, no!

I'm afraid she feels cold...

so I've brought her some clothes.

I'm cold too...

Cover me!

It's warmer now.

Fatty!

Fatty!

Are you alright?

She...

Hey!

There's an exit here!

You want to drag me in trouble again...

No way!

I can't refuse this time!

Hurry!

Follow me!

Let's go already!

You've left the map to him.

If he's sincere, he'll come to see you.

Quick, let's go.

Buddy...

be gentle.

Feel my forehead.

I'm having a fever?

No.

Then I'm alert and won't talk nonsense.

It's hard to say about you.

What?

You are prejudiced against me, you won't believe what I say!

Then say it.

Yesterday night I clearly saw that woman...

What woman are you talking about?

Not your woman yet, that's why I'm say this.

Talking nonsense again.

Where did I end?

You said that...

That girl is the Crystal portrait.

You are confused.

I might be confused for other things but not with women.

I saw very clearly that woman turned into the Crystal portrait.

It can't be.

What?

You don't believe me?

I didn't say that.

It means you believe.

Did that woman leave behind a map of the Du Mansion for you?

And what?

Let's follow the map and look for her.

No such thing as...

free lunch in this world nowadays.

There's something odd about it.

You worry too much.

It says on the map...

that one must be wounded...

before going in for treatment.

All kinds of wounds can be treated there.

We can pretend to be wounded.

You or I?

You of course.

Me?

You wouldn't look like it at all.

Never mind.

Let me do it.

My stomach is so painful...

You're a lousy actor.

For stomach ache you should be touching your stomach.

How come you are touching your ass?

It'll be more real if I will laying on the wooden cart!

Do you think I don't know your tricks?

You want me to push you on a cart...

don't you?

If it were a girl on the cart, you'd jump on her!

Always girls come first!

You or me?

Goodbye.

What an idiot...

falling into other people's trap.

You dare harass women in broad daylight!

That's a serious crime!

A crime?

You can't scare me!

Pay me or I'll take you to court!

Do you know who I am?

You can even be a constable!

Do you know officials have great power?

So what?

Then who will benefit in getting in?

Me!

You know the law and you break it!

Pay now!

You're quite ferocious!

Ferocious?

Let me show you something!

You want to fight?

I'll show you!

Fatty!

You're trapped!

I'm not that easy to deal with!

I'll wait for you in the tavern.

Order a pot of wine for me!

I will finish quickly!

That guy has gone.

You got a helper!

Doesn't matter how many you've got!

Are you afraid?

Away!

Okay!

Don't forget me!

You tried to cheat me.

Not that easy!

Not too late to apologize...

or I'll beat you up!

Really?

"Your pal is on Phantom Island, exchange him for the map"

Phantom Island?

"Phantom Island"

Do you dream about get out of Phantom Island?

Seems like I've been here before.

It's still hot!

Don't waste it.

Don't shout.

Who are you?

Are you alright?

Where are we going?

Du Mansion.

Du Mansion?

The map mentions that once you get inside Du Mansion...

all your wounds will be healed.

Now you don't have to pretend.

We can go straight to look for the crystal portrait.

You're right.

You're lucky.

When I saw you...

you were holding a sheepskin map.

Could this be an entry token?

Only those with this map can enter the Du Mansion;

If not...

anyone who goes within 3 miles of it...

will not be able to get out alive.

You're here to save this person?

Also, I'm look for someone.

Who?

Crystal.

Crystal...

I'm sorry...

I'm only a door keeper.

Come inside.

I must to deal with two intruders.

Master is waiting for you in the main hall.

Thanks.

Your master is...

You'll know when you go in.

If you trust me...

leave your friend behind...

for treatment.

Thank you, miss.

May I have your name?

Call me Jade.

Sorry to trouble.

Jade?

Once it moves, it will cause rainstorm and thundering.

Even the sun and the moon reside in...

Bi Luo Fu.

What are you looking for?

So the Du Mansion is the notorious assassin organization "Bi Luo Fu".

How should I call you?

You can call me...

Du Sha!

Du Sha?

Give me the map you have.

You won't need it anymore.

Stay here for a few days until your friend recovers.

But there is one thing you should keep in mind...

What's that?

Men of great curiosity are not welcome here.

There were a few more questions I was going to ask you, but now that you've said this...

Do you want to know who is the real master of Bi Luo Fu?

Exactly.

It's said that the master of "Bi Luo Fu" is Tian Di.

And you?

I'm just someone carrying out the orders of Tian Di.

Then I want to know if my crystal portrait is with you here?

Why are you using my crystal portrait to kill people and...

put the blame on me?

Crystal portrait is dead.

Don't ask me anymore!

Pearl!

Take him down!

Don't expect to get any information from Pearl.

You may go now.

Master Long, that room has already been tidied up please have some rest.

This place is huge.

Apart from you girls...

who else is here?

Have some tea, sir.

Crystal...

is your sister?

Crystal?

Crystal sister?

You can both go rest.

Two dummies...

Jade!

Who's having breakfast so early?

Is it Du Sha?

It's your friend.

How's he doing?

Getting better.

I want to see him.

You'd better not.

Why?

You are too curious.

Our Mistress said that...

men of great curiosity are not welcome here.

Maybe from now on...

I ought to suppress my curiosity?

Could you?

You are an honest man.

Honest men may be disadvantaged.

In fact...

many things are

better left unknown.

The more you know, the more troublesome it becomes.

You're undoubtedly right.

It's not good to have something on one's mind.

What?

Where's Crystal?

Is she really dead?

Jade!

Come here!

Iron sand?!

Did Crystal...

use to live here?

After Crystal died...

did Du Sha seal this place?

From these signs...

it appears that she died bearing great pain.

Yes...

indeed...

great pain.

Since she was poisoned...

she persisted in neutralising the poison.

But the poison remained...

and when it hit her again...

she died...

within three days.

Du Mansion could cure many sicknesses.

Crystal was very important to Du Sha...

why didn't Du Sha save her?

Only the medicinal powder could neutralise the Venom.

Du Sha was injured internally.

She'll have an attack of disease once overexhausted...

and then she needs to take these.

That's why Du Sha kept the medicine for herself and she didn't give it for Crystal?

The medicine is very precious...

and only...

a few tablets are left.

Too selfish.

Crystal?

Are you human...

or a spirit?

What does it matter...

what if I'm human...

or not I'm?

That night...

why didn't you go with us?

I had given you too much...

trouble already.

I was worried.

I didn't realise you'd...

Why be happy if alive...

and what's to be sad if dead.

You're still young and...

shouldn't be so pessimistic.

You should leave the Du Mansion quickly.

Why?

Look...

The moon is so beautiful.

It's a pity that after tonight...

the moon wouldn't be so bright and beautiful.

It would be stained with blood.

But...

a sanguine moon...

might be beautiful too.

However...

no one would...

be around to appreciate it.

I have to go.

Crystal!

Would you like if I give you the moon?

To give me?

What are you doing here?

I came in accidentally.

I wanted to bring you here to have a look.

Here is..?

This is the place for training crystal portrait.

These are morons.

So far I have only seen two that have not lost mind and survive the training.

One was Crystal...

and the other is you.

What do you think I am?

You're a sculptor.

I didn't realise you're also a sculptor.

I could also put your soul in it.

You want to make me a moron?

Not with your intelligence.

I will not be your killing machine.

I will turn you into another crystal portrait!

Hurry...

tie him up!

I thought you were deadly...

but you are a sick ghost.

Not only that...

and also a thief!

You stole my sculpture...

and set me up!

You've been using such brutal ways to create crystal portraits?

Crystal was hurt and you didn't save her!

How vicious could you be?

Turn on the machine!

"Du Mansion"

Fatty!

You never learn.

You're flirting at a moment like this.

Hey!

How can you eat such things?

Pull her away!

Fatty!

Pull her away!

Fatty...

Go!

No!

Don't go!

Don't go!

Fatty!

Are you mad?

Have you become an idiot?

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake uuup!

Let's go!

Fatty!

Stay calm!

I'm Long Fei!

Hurry and go!

Stop!

Let's go!

Fatty...

I'm Long Fei!

You don't see?

Wake up...

wake up!

Fatty!

Wake up!

Don't go up there!

Fatty, you're alright?

Fatty, you're alright?

Fatty, you're...

Fatty!!!

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fattyy!

Fattyyy!

What a deadly tune of the King of Hell.

You can't get away with it.

You're doomed to die here!

I bear no grudge against you.

Why did you kill my brother?

You didn't spare my son either!

Someone offered me a good price.

That's why I dared to do it!

Who's paying you to kill us?

Speak!

If not...

I'll level this place!

How stupid can you be!

The one who wants to kill you is your brother...

the Prince!

You are instructed by the prince?

Why did he do that?

Could it be...

He went back on his word.

I was right!

He's vicious!

There's no point crying now!

Jade...

bring the medicine...

Medicine...

Where's the medicine?

I don't know...

Only you and I know about the medicine in this jar...

I don't know!

I really don't know!

Pearl...

Pearl!

Pearl!

The only...

relative I had is dead.

She was..?

She was my sister.

Why did your sister kill herself?

They were beyond themselves.

They all listened to the instructions of Du Sha.

Du Sha has once ordered Pearl...

if anything happened to her...

to turn on the machine...

let go of all the pigeons and...

drink the poison wine.

Du Sha was so vicious!

She died and...

didn't let others live.

To an idiot, this is a kind of liberation.

Du Sha ordered the machine to be turned on after her death.

Is she trying to destroy the Du Mansion...

and everything related to the crystal portrait?

To...

whom the pigeons carry...

the message?

Tian Di.

When the pigeons flies out...

Tian Di will come.

Tian Di?

Exactly.

He's the husband of Du Sha...

and real master of a mansion.

You'd better leave before he comes back!

What about you?

While the world is big...

I have nowhere to go.

Do you think I would leave you here?

Besides...

I haven't found Crystal.

Don't touch sculpture!

As the weight changes, a machine will turn on!

Machine...

iron sand...

weight...

What's going on here?

Poison Yama attacked us...

and was killed by Mistress.

The Mistress was unfortunately killed by the Venom.

Where is Crystal?

Ten days ago...

Crystal failed to assassinate Poison Yama...

and was instead poisoned...

by the Venom.

She died when she returned.

You were saying that Crystal was poisoned by the Venom?

Do you know anyone poisoned by the Venom...

would die with burst intestines?

After Crystal died...

Mistress examined her body...

confirming that she was poisoned by the Venom.

You are sly...

but you have forgotten one thing...

You thought you could find a body...

and pose that as Crystal then there would be no evidence!

Du Sha died because of you!

You've been the keeper of this medicine!

This medicine...

can cure Du Sha's internal wounds...

and is also an antidote for all kinds of poison.

Even the Venom could not have killed Du Sha!

Where is Crystal?!

Crystal...

you..?

This is a mask made of crystal.

Put it on, looks intriguing.

It's used to distract the enemies.

But...

now it's no use...

to me anymore.

Who were you for Du Sha?

Foster daughter.

She has a lot of foster daughters...

like me.

But...

they didn't pass through her training...

and became idiots.

All except me.

I always thought...

she loved me.

But when...

I was wounded...

and I was in great pain...

then she...

refused to use a medicine to rescue me.

I would have died if Jade not stolen the medicine for me.

Jade is...

really a good girl.

Of the 37 most...

cruel tortures...

death by...

cutting flesh is the...

most painful...

and slowest.

Where's Crystal?

Speak!

Bring the knife!

Wait!

Tighten the net!

Cut her flesh off...

piece by piece!

This net...

has altogether 490 holes!

That is to say...

there should be 490 pieces of flesh!

If they were stewed...

even the four of us won't be able to finish them.

This is just the first piece!

Two, three...

Speak!

This girl is so tough!

Every girl wants to look pretty...

Why not start from her face?

The four of you bully a girl.

You're too cruel!

Crystal!

Crystal...

bring her back first.

What about you?

I'll go and find him!

Tian Di?

Yes.

Tian Di is an expert in kung fu.

Be careful.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

Crystal has told me about...

all that you've done.

Surprising...

that a prince who looks so kind...

should be a killer of his own brother!

The tools aren't required once the target is achieved.

Without despotism, how could there be truth?

Great people do great deeds!

Prince...

what you do among yourselves is your business!

But why did you steal my crystal portrait...

and bring me here?

When I sent Crystal to kill them...

you had just completed your crystal portrait.

Fot the convenience I used this to frame you...

but Crystal failed and was wounded...

and spoiled my plan!

That's why I had bring you here.

Also, I don't want people to find out.

On the other hand, you possess the quality...

of becoming a crystal portrait!

Prince...

you're really good...

at this treacherous plan!

You want to turn me into another tool for killing people!

No way!

Poison Yama was killed by Du Sha!

To me you're now...

simply worthless!

You don't care about others!

Even your wife's death didn't affect you!

You are so heartless!

I can fail the whole world...

but no one in the world can fail me!

These are words from the bottom of your heart.

I originally wanted to let you go.

Unfortunately...

you know...

too much!
