The Vigilantes in Masks (怪侠一枝梅)

Help us keep watch outside.

Ok.

San Niang, this is a really good place to practice.

I can feel the pool water's air entering and circulating my body

What's wrong?

Nothing, I'm just forcing out the poison gas in my body. It's alright.

Don't rush, take your time to recuperate.

Shi Fu, it's not good, it's not good. San Niang's escaped!

Why didn't you keep a closer watch on her.

San Niang's martial arts is better and stronger than ever.

It's hard for us to even keep watch on her.

You're saying that after San Niang left

her martial arts is stronger than all of you?!

Spread out and search.

San Niang's leading around an injured person

She can't escape.

how do you feel?

A lot better.

That's great. That's really great.

But I'm afraid we don't have enough time.

What's wrong?

Your mother's here.

This fast!!! If we don't have four hours it's not enough.

It's too late.

Everyone spread out and search. Yes.

No need to search anymore.

San Niang

The Heaven's Spring is our sect's holy place.

Those who enter without authorization are to be excecuted!

I'm not one of the Emei sect.

I've heard that soaking in this spring, can prolong one's youth and beauty,

so I've come to have a soak.

Where's that guy?

I've let my guy go.

I won't let you call him in that fashion.

It has nothing to do with you. I'm leaving.

Hold her back.

I'll go myself.

Take action according to our sect's rules.

Brother Li. Brother Li.

Brother Li.

Where's San Niang?

They took her away.

San Niang, is that man worth your sacrifice for him?

He loves me.

Ridiculous

San Niang, men are not dependable.

For the sake of one man I have an unerasble blemish for life.

Is this considered a confession, that you're my mother?

So in fact, I'm nothing but your life's blemish.

I...I want to say it isn't It's not like that San Niang.

Don't think too highly of yourself.

You.. are nothing.

I'm not interested in talking with you. I even hate talking with you.

I only have one goal; to get the contract.

Once I get it, I'll leave immediately.

Since it's like that, then I can speak straight forwardly.

I can give the contract to the man with the last name Li.

I can even help him leave the mountain safely.

But I have a condition.

You have to remain here.

San Niang. Old fate will leave gradually, do not acquire new fate.

I want you to enter my sect, and leave the world behind. And adopt the way of Taoism, from now on.

Impossible!

I'm willing to give you a choice. This is my biggest compromise.

You brought him to trespass our sect's holy place to heal his injury,

broke our sect's rules,

do you know the consequences of this?

Let me go, let me go!

Is Li Ge Xiao at Mount Emei? Let go!

I don't know.

Then where is the contract?

I don't know!

Let go! Since you don't know anything, there's no use for you.

Throw her down the mountain.

Yes. Wait, wait! I'll say!

The contract.. the contract,

it's in my Shi Fu's study.

What are you doing still standing there? Throw her down the mountain.

Yes. Let me go! You're not human!

Betraying one's Shi Fu and sect, deserves death.

It seems like this old Taoist nun won't let him go so easily.

Block all the exits. Yes!

I'll see how you'll escape tonight!

San Niang. Old fate will leave gradually, do not acquire new fate.

I want you to enter my sect, and leave the world behind. From now on, adopt the way of Taoism.

And adopt the way of Taoism, from now on.

Brother Li, how do you feel now?

I feel the poison in my body, really has been compressed.

This Heaven's Spring, really is too miraculous.

This is too good.

Someone's coming. Hurry.

You don't need to hide.

Shi Fu already knows that you're here.

Where's San Niang?

I'm only following orders, to help you leave.

This is the contract that you want.

Too good.

It's this contract, it's this one!

I can save my Father, I can save those patients!

Thank you, Brother Li!

May I ask,

has something happened to San Niang?

Mr Li, didn't you come up the mountain

with the aim of retrieving the contract to save others?

Yes.

Then you've met your aim. Please follow me.

I'll show you the way. I've already prepared a horsecart.

I'll help you leave safely.

Thanks for the trouble.

Yan San Niang

will be accepting the ceremony today, entering my Emei sect.

Adopting the way of Taoism, from now on.

Have they left?

He's already acquired what he wants.

And left long ago.

Hurry and go back.

The great kindness that you have towards the Bao family, we'll never forget it.

Please, don't bother to come any further.

Mr Li.. you...

What do you want to do?

I want to go back.

You can't.

May I ask,

why San Niang isn't leaving with us?

And, why can't we even see her?

This...

Could it be that Miss Yan used herself to exchange for this?

Only this explanation is possible.

How can this be?

And what?

I'm not worried about San Niang staying here.

I'm just worried that her personality will cause trouble.

So, please take me back to see her.

Please announce the Twelve Wishes.

Don't you think that by being like this to me, you're being too much?

This is what you should do.

It's your choice.

What do you want?

Since they've gone, why should I still stay here?

Do you want to humiliate my Emei sect?

You want to lock me here? Don't even think about it!

Shi Fu.

Why has he come back again?

Shi Fu, Mr Li, he...

Didn't you leave?!

Li Ge Xiao. As a wanted man,

not only did I not report you, I also returned the contract to you.

I've already fulfilled my best in both kindness and righteousness.

Abbess, please pardon me if I've offended you. You don't fear power, and differentiate between right and wrong,

you even returned the contract, you're quite a character.

However, using the contract as a reason to imprison San Niang forever,

by doing this, you're forcing one against their will, and misusing power in your favour.

This is an affair of our Emei Sect.

It doesn't need interfering from an outsider, like you!

That's true. I can't interfere with Emei's affairs.

However, San Niang is my wife.

You're forcing her into Taoism, how can I not interfere?

Have you gone mad? Who's ruining matters now?

Don't worry. I won't leave you behind.

San Niang, do you believe that this man will treat you well?

At the very least, he hasn't lied to me.

But you've lied to me twice!

Not one man in this world, is anything good.

This blind man, is not an exception!

Nonsense! Let's talk after we've fought!

Have you gone mad?!

Who told you to be so rash?

Do you want to anger me till I die?! You doing this, is very dangerous!

You doing this, is more dangerous than me!

You're really willing to die for San Niang?

I'm blind, and poisoned. Why would I be scared of death?

What are you being so fussy about? If you want to kill me, kill me!

It seems that trying to keep you at Emei, is harder than doing anything else.

Alright, move these over there.

Shi Fu, it's all prepared.

This is water from our spring.

Looking at the change in your injury,

it's proved that the water from the spring can help with healing.

Bring it with you, it'll be helpful to you.

Representing all the sickly, I thank you, Abbess.

The Bao family is unable to repay this kindness.

Take them down the mountain.

I'll be leaving now.

A knot that's lasted for so many years. It's time to untie it.

Abbess, please.

Are you going to just leave like this?

In front of you, some things,

I'm scared I won't ever be able to say them.

I don't know how to tell you.

I've done many wrong things in my life.

I shouldn't have married a bad man.

Neither should I have bore his child.

That day, I shouldn't have sent you down the mountain.

This jade, why is it one piece?

Who exactly are you?

I'm your Shi Fu.

You're not only my Mother,

you're also the Mother who left me behind, and refuses to acknowledge me!

The leader of the Emei Sect, hereby swears that,
