Lofty Waters Verdant Bow

Naughty!

Shiyi! I've lost control of my powers! Flee this place!

You've lost control?

- Run before I kill you! - Teacher!

Teacher, what shall I do?

Shiyi, use the Dragon Seeking Acupoint Skill

Teacher.

You've been learning the Lone Dragon Art from me.

I'm so worried you'll follow in my footsteps.

Bring me the Iron Sword.

Teacher, here it is

Shiyi, after my demise.

you must take this sword and get away from this Snake Island.

Teacher you will not die. Neither will I leave Snake Island.

I want you to take this sword!

And the bank note for 100 taels for your travelling expenses.

The bank-note...

Shiyi, you grew up on this Snake Island.

Never have you gone beyond.

Remember, everybody in the pugilistic fraternity is malicious.

Apart from Lu Siniang,

no one must know about your identity.

I will remember your words. Teacher.

Most regretfully...

Teacher.

Teacher!

Teacher.

Teacher!

It's of paramount importance. Bear it in mind.

Take this sword, leave the island and go eastwards.

On reaching the shore, go to Mangshan in Luoyang.

Look for Lu Siniang. Chief of Mangshan Sect.

Oh seeing this Iron Sword.

she'll do her best to purge the poison in you.

Let's hope her Xuanmen Art of Internal Energy can save you.

The Central Plains is so much bigger than Snake Island.

This is only a small fishing village. The town is even bigger

Bigger than this place? I would get lost easily.

Lad, don t use a raft. No one might rescue you if it capsize again.

Sir, how do I get from here to Mangshan in Luoyang?

Mangshan in Luoyang? I'm not very sure.

I'll be selling fish in the market tomorrow.

Come stay with me tonight and ask for directions tomorrow.

I shouldn't impose on you.

No trouble, Lad. The weather is chilly but you re scantily clad.

It's summer all year round on Snake Island.

I've never put on more than one garment.

This won't do. You won't get to Luoyang if you catch a chill.

If you don t mind, put on this old garment of mine.

- Thank you sir. - You're welcome.

Teacher told me that everybody is malicious. It doesn't seem true.

Lad, I won't walk you any further. Go ahead and ask around!

Sir, you gave, me a ride in your boat and put me up for a night.

You even gave me a garment. How could I thank you enough?

You're too courteous. By chance, we met.

If you happen to pass by again pay me a visit in the village.

I will when there's a chance.

- Take care lad! - Farewell.

Who should I ask?

Sir, how do I get to Mangshan?

It's very far away.

Can I reach there on foot?

On foot? You must be kidding. You can't walk that far.

No problem. I'm used to running all over the hills.

You're sure? It takes several days to travel to Luoyang.

No problem at all. I have nothing to do. anyway.

Suit yourself.

It's simple. Go westwards after leaving this marketplace.

Climb three hills and you'll come to a river.

Cross the river, climb three or four hills to reach Kaifeng.

There, you'll have to ask for the way to Luoyang.

All right, I'll ask for directions in Kaifeng. Thank you.

Such helpful people so unlike what Teacher described.

Teacher must have spent too long a time on Snake Island.

I doubt there's an inn in this desolate place.

I'll treat this place as Snake Island.

Are you ready?

That bitch may arrive any time.

Don't worry. We're all prepared.

Once that wretch arrives, she'll die a tragic death!

You've overrated yourselves!

Do you have to go to this extent to handle a delicate woman?

Wretch, cut the crap!

Did you kill Murong Pidi, leader of our All Win Hall?

He couldn t even dodge the ten blows I delivered.

He should change his name from Murong Pidi to Useless Wimp.

Atrocious! You unscrupulously killed our chief...

and are even insulting him!

He had only himself to blame for his inferior skills.

What perverse arrogance!

Plead for mercy on your knees and we won't mutilate you!

Rubbish! Since I came alone, I'm confident I won't be defeated.

Junior!

You've killed two of them. Let the last one live.

I kill as many as I wish. Mind your own business!

Watch it!

Lady, what are you doing?

Why didn't you faint?

Why should I faint?

My needles are smeared with venom which could immobilize any man.

But you...

So it's venom. No wonder I felt giddy.

I grew up in venoms on Snake Island and I am immune to them all.

I grew up in venoms on Snake Island and am immune to them all.

You're immune? So you fooled me!

- When did I fool you? - You...

You're sympathetic, after all.

Cut the sarcasm! I even...

Fine!

Fine? What is she up to? She's weird!

Shaolin's Evil-Subduing Strokes!

Every stroke is powerful!

So fast! I can't catch up!

Jiang Nan! What are you doing here?

Jiang Nan, you attempted to learn a Shaolin skill without consent.

As a punishment, you shall fetch wafer for ten days.

Ponder over your mistakes, understand?

I've learnt my lesson and will be careful.

Pardon?

I mean I'll be careful not to repeat m/mistake.

I'm going to fetch water, Reverend.

I thought I would get to learn consummate skills in Shaolin.

But for almost a year.

I've only been chopping firewood and fetching water!

What wrong did I do in my previous life to deserve this bad fate?

You're making a fool of me.

I'd rather sneak away than waste my time here.

Don't whack me!

Make me fetch water and chop firewood! I won't try to run away!

Make me fetch water and chop firewood! I won't try to run away!

They're not going to whack me?

Who had the temerity to injure a Shaolin monk?

Who had the temerity...

Abbot, I surmise both of them were injured by...

the Dog-Bashing Skill from the Beggars Sect.

Shaolin and the Beggars have never been at enmity.

Why have they repeatedly injured our disciples?

I, Wufu, believe they are deliberately provoking us

Amitabha. No worries we had. Whither does trouble came?

What is the motive of the Beggars' Sect?

Abbot, we've arranged to meet the Beggars

at the Meng Stronghold on the first day of next month.

We'll be able to get to the bottom of the matter.

Good. Wufu, Wulu, Wushou.

At your orders, Your Eminence.

Go to the Meng Stronghold on behalf of Shaolin...

and find out the truth.

But bear in mind it concerns a grave matter.

Do not act rashly. Do you hear me?

Yes, Abbot.

The Meng Stronghold?

My three elders!

My three elders! Halt!

You?

The Abbot ordered me to wait upon you on your journey.

Really? We weren't told when We took our leave.

Just after you left the Abbot suddenly realized...

you have to travel a long way from Songshan to Mangshan.

So he specially sent me to attend to your needs

Monks have no needs You needn't wait on us.

No, Elders. You enjoy a high status in Shaolin.

Without a sharp-witted attendant on your journey,

Shaolin will be disgraced.

I'll handle all heavy chores for you.

He has a point.

Yes, Elders. Just leave everything to me

There isn't much work to do.

But we're not used to food which other people prepare

I'll let you cook three meals for us every day

Also, danger lurks in the pugilistic fraternity

When we go to bed. you'll stand guard at the door.

Let no one cause delay on our journey.

Yes, Elder.

One other thing. Make yourself scarce when we hone our skills.

Do not peek like you did understand?

Yes, Elder.

- Let move on. - Yes, Senior.

Outrageous! Monks should be benevolents

But those three old men make me work harder than I did in Shaolin.

A monk with so much money! I'll take it to do good for you!

Amitabha. Great Buddha will forgive you.

Don't tell me. Why you set my goats free!

They were baaing sadly in the fold so I set them free.

They looked so happy to get out.

So kind of you? Do you know my family is waiting for me...

to bring money home for winter?

What are we going to do now?

I'm sorry. I didn't know it Shall I work for you instead?

I'll soon have to starve. What work can I give you?

You pay me for the goats. I'll consider it a purchase.

I have to pay you? How much?

How much do you have?

I have no money A bank note is all I have.

Is this enough?

100 taels?

A little short. But since you're a nice boy, I'll make do with it.

Hold it! What kind of goats would fetch a hundred taels?

This is daylight robbery

Mind your own business!

I sell goats too. Yours couldn t fetch more than 10 taels each.
