"Accept my apology for keeping you waiting." "We've found a letter by the roadside." "Probably dropped by that man" "My dear friend, Lam," "I have delayed by some urgent matter." "My unworthy student brings you a box of sleeping smoke for your defence." "There is a trigger device in the box." "Do not open it until absolutely necessary."

"Quite a demonstration, such power" "Really lives up to its name of the iron fists." "How do you know that he is genuine?" "He's so out of breath, he is half-dead." "The least we can do is applaud."

"Singing, my foot I mean there's a lot going on here." "We're just pretending nothing is wrong." "The river water is inter- fering with the well water." "If they start fighting, we'd better beat it" "How exciting It's really worth the trip" "I've decided to stay and watch." "Go on, stay, if you want to get into trouble." "Teacher didn't know that you came with me." "If anything happens to you, I'll be finished" "Shouldn't we get away quickly?" "There could be many enemies out there" "We cannot get away now."

"If it's about gardening, then it's an easy job." "I will do as Your Eminence wishes." "You do not have to know what the Sacred Volume is about." "This warrant will get you anywhere."

"Depends on what you can pay me." "You want a sample, I can give you one rightaway." "Chun Nam..." "Don't do anything." "We escaped separately for their safety, but it's put them in jeopardy instead." "You won't save them by going out now." "I'm like an eagle with clipped wings." "No bargaining." "If you make a move, I'll kill her." "Help" "Zhor, a renowned knight like you, should not use such despicable methods towards a helpless woman." "I have no mercy for a conspirator." "Chun Nam..." "Catch" "What's that?" "It's an eyeball." "Zhor, stop." "I'm coming out now." "It's almost dawn, you won't be able to get away then." "I used to have everything." "But now my position and title is gone." "I wanted to safeguard my descendants from persecution by acquiring an invincible martial arts skill." "I never expected to come to this." "If I do not escape my fate today, please carry out my last one wish." "Sir, I'll do as you wish." "But you must swear upon it." "I swear to the heavens." "If I break my promise," "I should be killed by a thunder bolt." "Tell my son Lam Ping Gi that the family treasure is hidden under the water wheel" "Remember On my son's left shoulder, is a scar shaped like a cross." "Lam, you are so heartless." "Don't you want to save your wife?" "Bastard." "Stop it." "I have cut off her tongue." "Your wife can no longer speak." "I'll come and fight it out with you." "Kiddo." "You'll have to be on the alert." "Use all your means to get back to Wah Mountain." "No, I'll go with you." "I have to rescue someone."

"Master Lam" "An arrow" "Master Lam" "You must deliver this message to him personally." "My death will be for nothing then." "Master Lam." "Hurry and go, Kiddo." "Your Eminence." "Well done" "You've had all the bodies burnt." "With so many dead, the local government will be alarmed." "I have already made arrangements." "The Sun Moon Sect of Highlanders are very active in this area" "They are involved with the smuggling of salt." "We can blame this on them." "To make it appear to be a clash between the clans." "The local government dare not agigate the Highlanders by reporting this to the Imperial Court for fear of chastisement." "It will then be left alone and forgotten." "You have schemed this well." "You think so fast." "If I'm not watchful, you'll go right past me." "I beg your forgiveness for not reporting to you first." "Young man, be careful." "You may lose your head." "Rise" "Yes, Your Eminence." "Wanted:" "Sun Moon Sect." "Excuse me, are these people waiting for the boat?" "No, their are seeing their friend off." "The Chief of the East Winds clan retires today." "After he has gone, it's difficult to say what lies ahead." "We don't know how long the new Chief can last." "Our livelihood depends on this river." "All these years while I served as chief;" "though I cannot truly say that there was no trouble, we only have had small disturbances." "I recognize them from Lam's house." "Let's go" "Your bundle?" "Who is he?" "If you want to know, go and ask him." "Life with he clan is full of ups and downs." "But I shall leave all this now." "You shall be the new chief." "I'll try my best." "There are many boats sailing pass this river." "The Securirate is always watching us." "For a better tomorrow for all of us," "I will try my best not to let you down." "I won't force everybody to go against the tide." "Whatever the tides may be, human beings are the most important." "Move off" "No one shall leave the pier." "Can't you see the officials are attending a ceremony?" "I want to search your boat." "There may be Sun Moon Sect on board." "Sir, don't worry," "I'm not Sun Moon Sect's men." "But I am" "I have an old friend on board." "Don't let him be disturbed." "These people are upstarts." "You can send them away with money." "Chief, please go on your way" "Good bye now" "Take care" "I'm a guard." "Please come to the court with me." "You are from the Sun Moon Sect, Kuk, don't go" "Set sail." "See my warrant." "He who deters me is a traitor." "Although there are so many of you, you are only a handful of us" "Hell" "You cannot withstand his arrows." "I see the culprit has appeared." "Indeed the Sun Moon Sect people are on board" "He is Zhor, a lackey of the East Securirate." "He killed the Lam family." "What?" "He can't swim." "He won't come after us." "What is he up to?" "All the power struggle between clans;" "we haven't seen each other for over 40 years." "Over 40 years..." "As of today, we can give up." "We need never return to this place." "So many years ago." "Do you still remember our song?" "It has been a long time since we played together." "It's a song we worked on in our younger days." "You sing a long too." ""Hero of Heroes"." "It's the easy Winds boat" "The boat ahead, lower your sails." "Lower your sails" "Steer" "Ram it." "Who is on the big boat?" "The Easy Winds Sect." "Never mind him." "Ram the boat" "Follow me" "Kiddo" "Zhor, take this." "Chief, go with the tide and save yourself." "You spineless creature" "It's the times." "You traitor." "I'm clearing the way for the Imperial Court." "Zhor, you running dog." ""Clouds overehead" stance." "Jump in the water" "Take this" "Old pal" "Elder Kuk, are you alright?" "Old pal, I'm fine, you take care." "Cover up the hole." "Hurry." "Sir, your hand" "Look after him, I can still manage." "They both are badly injured." "I know, find somewhere to go ashore." "No need, young man." "Any place is the same." "Look at the clear blue skies" "We do not have much time left." "Old pal, let's play our tune." "We haven't finished our song yet." "Old pal, I have to go now." "Please stand by me." "All these years you never admit defeat." "Now you have to admit you are getting on." "The seas laugh, lashing on both shores." "Carried in the waves, we have only the here and now." "The heavens laugh, at the troubled world." "Only they know, who is to win and lose." "The mountains laugh,the rain is afar." "When the waves grow old, the world still goes on." "Senior." "Grand Master Lau..." "Grand Master, we can go ashore now." "Steady on" "I will not be going back." "Take this instrument and the score." "Fate has brought us together" "When you find the right audience, pass it on." "What we, your elders, could not accomplish, may be carried out by you young people." "Old pal, let's hope we gave it to the right person." "Let's drink again." ""Death to the Lams." "The Sun Moon Sect."" "He's dead." "Have you searched here?" "They did." "Continue the search." "Yes" "Your Honour" "Your Honour" "Your Eminence, Lam Ping Gi is dead." "The Sacred Volume is not found yet." "But he said the two runaways are from Wah Mountain." "One is called Ling Wu Chung." "Wah School?" "They are renowned for their swordplay." "Zhor won't be able to overcome them." "He's useless." "We employed him to cover up our involvement." "But he boasts about the warrant we gave him." "Shall we do away with him?" "You're very practical." "It's difficult to keep a dog you know;" "if you do away with him, who will bark for us?" "What are your thoughts on that?" "Forgive me." "I know but he's a dog." "Yet it will bite when it is at a dead-end." "Did we overdo it?" "You little bastard, so full of suggestions, you want to know what the Sacred Volume is about?" "Thank you, Your Eminence." "The Sacred Volume." "The Sacred Volume records this teaching which is said gives one supernatural powers to see through things" "and let out energy over great distances." "Though this may sound farfetched," "His Majesty said he had winessed this before." "If I had known the volume was in our library, I..." "You may not believe it." "But for each high mountain, there is yet a higher one." "One thinks that one has done something very clever." "Don't imagine no one knows about it." "Take this." "He is a powerful opponent." "Be careful." "No need to chase after him." "He who can get away from my attack is more than a match for you" "Lam must have got him to deal with us." "Take a few of your men and try to mix with the Wah Mountain group, find Ling Wu Chung and bring him back." "Yes, Your Eminence." "Kiddo, are you alright?" "Senior." "How are you feeling?" "I want to go home." "The world is too treacherous" "Lie down and relax, you have a temperature." "If Teacher is not at the Lam's, he must still be at the Highlanders' Village for herbs." "If we find him, we can go home together." "Help yourself." "Hold your pulse down." "Someone's coming." "Who is it?" "Sir, It is very dangerous here." "Don't stay with us." "Leave this place." "I've been pushed around everywhere." "At my age, where can I go?" "Sir, what are you doing?" "I have to eat." "I can only travel on a full stomach." "Look at your comrade, he must be starved." "Don't worry." "You'll find somewhere to stay eventually" "Sir, if you light a fire, it will alert the animals out there." "I have food to share with you." "Why don't you put the fire out and have a meal on me." "It's settled then." "Go right ahead." "It's still warm." "Wonder if I am biting your dumpling, or if the dumpling biting me" "It's harder than my old bones." "What is it?" "Excuse me sir, we have to go now." "You go towards the west." "When the sun rises behind your back, you can come back" "As long as you're not with us." "You'll be alright." "I have food here." "I'll go and distract them." "You figure out where to go." "You have to go east or you'll meet the old gent." "I'll find you somehow." "Be careful." "I'll be fine." "Didn't you go in a westerly direction?" "It's so dark I can't tell the directions." "I don't know him." "I am Ling of Wah Mountain School." "You can speak to me." "Such fair skin, quite lovely" ""Sleeping dragon at old tree" stance." "Go back and practise your "Fairy Fingers"."

"The side-slashing sword" "The splitting sword" "Another lot of victims under the sword." "We are all made of flesh and blood." "Why do we make such a mess of our own world." "Sir, which school are you from?" "Why should you care so much about the 'name'?" "It is because of such caring of 'name' that there is so much turmoil in the world." "You're so learned and skillful, sir." "You need not be a fugitive." "So what if I am skilled in the martial arts." "A hero of flesh and blood can also be helpless." "If a bad person has captured your loved ones you become a puppet, manipulated by your master." "I left my family to live a solitary life for their safety." "Sentiment is the most powerful weapon." "As someone from the Wah School, you should also beware of your teacher." "He is not righteous as he looks." "Why do you say that?" "Empty words of righteousness are pretext for a game of power struggle." "Years ago, there was a clash within the school." "Members had split into two groups;" "One believed in "Inner Energy", the other "Sword" "Skills"." "Many died in the clash." "Actually, it was a struggle for leadership." "Because your Teacher wanted to become the leader, he sacrificed many of his students." "That's why you should be careful." "If it was an internal clash, how did you get to know about it?" "If chance permits, ask your teacher who Fung Ching Yeung is." "Fung Ching Yeung?" "The sword stances I just showed you, all evolved from experiences of defeat." "How many people can learn from their defeat?" "You have to remember that." "May be useful some time." "Although I've thought you something, you need not formally be my student." "Let's just be good friends." ""Village of the Highlanders"" "We've found the inn where the Wah people are staying." "Stay here." "Camouflage clothes ready." "Put them on." "Find a way to get the Mainlanders to come out." "Some strangers have arrived." "I smell blood." "No news from your Senior Ling and your daughter." "Could it be them?" "I'll go and see." "Inner energy like flowing water." "Inner peace like an immovable mountain." "Be patient" "With your meditation" "Why is there no one?" "Mainlanders." "Teacher, could it be Senior Ling?" "Help" "Teacher, I'll go and see." "He's not dead yet, help him upstairs." "You hardly made it." "Thank you all." "Leave us." "As instructed, I buried the two dead ones." "I have found something on them." "Teacher" "It's an Imperial warrant." "We shouldn't be involved in political matters." "Let the well water and river water keep to itselves." "I don't want to know about your business, if convenient," "leave as soon as possible." "We, the Lam family, has suffered such deaths already" "I do not wish anymore unnecessary sacrifices." "Thank you for saving my life" "I'll repay you." "Good-bye." "Sir, take this money with you." "Those outside may not wish you well." "Buy yourself a sword to arm against enemies." "Take the money." "You are so kind." "I will repay your kindness." "I, Lam Ping Gi, do hereby thank you deeply." "Lam Ping Gi, descendant of Master Lam?" "Lam Ping Gi?" "You're alive?" "Ping Gi?" "You are Lam Ping Gi?" "It's been over ten years since I last saw you." "We can't regconize each other." "You are?" "..." "I am your father's old friend, Ngok, from Wah mountain." "You are Ngok" "Thank heavens" "You are my only kinsman now." "Ten years ago," "I was so innocent." "I knew not of the ugliness of mankind." "Now all is changed, I'm not the same person anymore." "I understand." "I understand." "What's all the noise about?" "It's a Highlander's wedding." "Be sure to speak our dialect quietly here." "Let's go look for Teacher." "God bless our tribe." "Hail to the Chief." "The groom need not pretend now." "Let us check our goods." "Yes." "Are there mainlanders in the inn?" "People from Wah Mountain, coming in for herbs." "I found many scouts from the East Securirate." "Is it because our smuggling business is doing so well that they want a share." "So they're moving in on us." "Blue Phoenix." "You're at it again." "Your eyes are always on the men." "The mainlanders have come to us." "If you do not behave, I will have to punish you." "I will be careful." "Where did Kiddo go?" "Let's go." "What are you doing?" "I like you." "I haven't seen you before." "Where do you come from?" "It's a woman, like me." "Who asked you to come in?" "Go away" "Don't you understand me?" "Get out" "Are you a mainlander?" "Snake" "Senior" "I am from the renowned Wah School of Swordsmen." "We have a strict discipline with 333 rules." "Very strict rules." "If any student breaches the rules," "I will not let him off." "You are a Wah Mountain student, be careful of your" "Teacher." "He is not righteous." "Blue Phoenix." "I've told you not to mingle with men." "You have put us to shame." "If you keep on like this, I'll have to lock you up." "It's a pity." "She's a woman." "Chief, many scouts are surrounding our inn." "It appears that they have come for us." "Tell everyone to be on the alert." "Steal the arms of the Mainlanders." "Drug them and tie them up." "If the scouts dare to approach," "kill them." "Yes" "Here's a chance for you to make up, don't mess it up again." "Yes" "Stay on the mountains, 3 years of punishment." "Yes" "A symbol of the Sect?" "Get Out" "Yes, Teacher." "Did Master Lam say anything before he died?" "Yes, he asked me to do something very important." "What is it?" "Come sit down" "Tell me all about it." "Our rules forbid us to sit with the teacher." "We can't sit on the same level." "Then stand up and tell me." "You can talk now." "I cannot." "Why not?" "Shouldn't you be loyal to me?" "Disloyalty is also against the rules." "I would tell it to his son, Lam Ping Gi." "It's against the 58th rule to break an oath." "I would bring great shame to the school and my family." "The 58th rule?" "You are right." "But if this message is critical to our school, that's a different issue then." "Then it's against the 79th rule." "To sacrifice others for one's own safety is also wrong." "But the 26th says, one is always forgiven if one repents." "In case of emergency, one can be flexible and bend the rules." "You..." "That's lying to one's Teacher." "It's against rule 83." "He who cheats his Teacher deserves a fate worst than death." "Good" "You are no doubt a good student." "I just wanted to test your integrity." "If you had told me," "I would be the first one to kill you." "I knew that you were testing me." "The trial is over, you can go and see Lam Ping Gi." "Where can I find him?" "He is just next door." "Next door?" "Go." "Tell him the secret." "That would really save a lot of trouble." "Why has he got Elder Kuk's instrument?" "We have to get to the bottom of this." "Put the instrument back to where it was." "Yes." "Do not alert him." "Do not use the drugs yet." "Find out the whereabouts of Elder Kuk first." "Yes." "You are?" "I'm Lam Ping Gi." "And you are?" "I'm Ling Wu Chung." "Be careful." "Let's go inside." "Your father's asked me to tell you a secret." "He said that the Lam's family treasure is hidden under the water wheel." "Thank you so much." "Don't mention it." "I know you love wine." "Wait." "There is wedding of the Highlanders." "This a gift for you." "How do you know that I love to drink?" "It smells good" "Have you finished talking?" "Teacher invites you to dinner." "Good." "But they have to be punished." "They have to stay in the room." "They are forbidden to go out." "We'll bring you dinner." "That's great." "I can enjoy the wine in my room." "It smells good" "Bullshit" "The moonlight in front of my bed," "Looks like frost on the ground." "Looking up at the bright moon," "I bow my head and think of home." "My dear." "Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?" "It's already a fortnight since my father's death." "I have to go back to attend to the funeral." "How thoughtful." "We orderly people should take care of it." "My uncle is helping with the funeral." "Do you have an uncle?" "I wish to talk to him." "Let me see you home." "Teacher" "What is it about?" "I'll pass the message." "That will save you the trip." "No bother." "Come, sit down." "You too, come and sit down."
