The film begins with a narration of the legend of an Indian Buddhist monk and the widespread belief that his mummified remains have magical power. The Dark Stone gang, having found that half of the remains are in the prime minister Zhang's hands, sends assassins to kill him and his son Renfeng. Dark Stone's top assassin Drizzle steals the remains and flees. She is encountered by the monk Wisdom, the best martial artist who points out Drizzle's swordsmanship has fatal flaws and she can be killed by a master. Wisdom spends three months with her and finally sacrifices himself to be killed by Drizzle, in the hope of enlightening her. After Wisdom's death, Drizzle is burdened with sorrow and guilt and decides to leave her old way of life. She goes to a famous surgeon who changes her appearance and she assumes the identity of Zeng Jing. Zeng opens a market stall selling cloth. She attracts the attention of the messenger Ah-sheng whom she eventually marries. Their leader, Wheel King, recruits and trains a new assassin, Turquoise, a merciless girl who is also a nymphomaniac. The Dark Stone, in the meantime, are still in pursuit of Drizzle and the remains, and one of their top members (Fatty Chen) is mysteriously assassinated. Later, Zeng Jing and Ah-sheng are in the bank when robbers enter. As the gang draws their swords, Zeng Jing fights them and saves both her and her husband's lives. This act reveals her whereabouts to Dark Stone. The Wheel King summons three assassins in his gang - Lei Bin, the Magician, and Turquoise - to hunt Drizzle down. They locate Drizzle despite her changed appearance. However, Drizzle and Zeng state she just wants to live a normal life, and the Wheel King promises her freedom for Ah-sheng and her in exchange for her half of the remains and her help in collecting the other half. After the Dark Stone secure the remains, Drizzle hands over her half. The gang decides to not let her off easily, and despite infighting that kills the Magician, she comes home wounded and collapses. Lei Bin and Turquoise follow her but are stopped by Ah-sheng, who surprises them by producing a pair of Cen-Ci swords, which Lei Bin recognizes as Renfeng's weapon. The two assassins are defeated and Ah-sheng takes Drizzle to the surgeon. The surgeon treats Drizzle's wounds and tells Renfeng everything is pre-destined. Flashbacks reveal that Ah-sheng's true identify is Renfeng, who did not die from Drizzle's sword because he has situs inversus. He has also changed his appearance to avenge his father's death. Drizzle finds out the truth and asks Renfeng if he has ever loved her. An emotional Renfeng tells her that is impossible because of what she and Dark Stone have done to his family, but he cannot bring himself to kill her and tells her to leave.
The Wheel King, having obtained the remains, attempts to use the power to restore his bodily "defect": he was castrated as a boy and became a eunuch years ago. Turquoise discovers this as she seduces him and mocks him in anger and disappointment. The Wheel King is infuriated and buries her alive under a bridge. He sees the firework signal released by Drizzle, who has decided to engage him in a final battle. The Wheel King comes to a graveyard and finds Renfeng dead. Drizzle then battles him and wounds him fatally, using what Wisdom had taught her. Renfeng revives the next morning, since he was just given a tortiose powder by Drizzle to appear lifeless so he could witness Drizzle avenge his family with her life. He approaches her body to touch her and finds her still alive. Renfeng is overcome with joy and carries her in his arms. Drizzle whispers to him "divorce me after we get home." Renfeng laughs and tells her they have a long life ahead.

Nearly 800 years ago...

Monk Bodhi came to China from India.

He stayed in the royal
palace for 3 years.

He then remained in
the Jinhua mountains...

mastering the art of kung fu.

After he died he was
buried at Mt Xionger,...

but later his remains were stolen...

and split into two halves.

Later a rumour arose whomever
possessed his remains...

could master kung fu and rule
the martial arts universe.

Since then many battles
have been fought...

in a quest to obtain the remains.

Now the Dark Stone, a
secret guild of assassins,...

has entered the violent battle.

Recently, there has been a
rumor that 1/2 of the remains...

are in the hands of
Minister Zhang Haiduan.

Zhang Haiduan's residence

Zhang Haiduan

Drizzle: Dark Stone Assassin

Lei Bin: Dark Stone Assassin

Zhang Renfeng: Minister's son

The Magician: Dark Stone Assassin

The Wheel King: Dark Stone Clan Leader

The Dark Stone assassins...

have raided the ministers residence

and killed him and his son Renfeng.

Amidst the chaos, Drizzle
makes off with Bodhi's remains

and disappears without a trace.

Some years later....

The Capital

Are you Mrs Cai?

I've heard you have a house for rent.

This was Dr Huang's house.

He returned to the village last year.

The house has been empty since then.

The house is very big.

Will you be living here alone?

Yes.

The monthly rent is 3.2 taels of gold,

but if you take it now
I reduce it to 3 taels.

I will take it. Here
is 3 months deposit.

Wonderful! I will bring
the contract tomorrow.

Oh, I still haven't asked you your name.

Zeng Jing.

As soon as you deliver
the head of Drizzle

to the bank in Luoyang City

you will be rewarded by Dark Stone

with 50,000 taels of gold

as well as the 85,000 taels of silver

that Drizzle is carrying with her.

Please put the new bricks here

and take out the old bricks.

Wait!

Who gets to keep the remains
of Bodhi from Drizzle?

According to the rules of
the martials arts universe,

it is finders, keepers.

We are not afraid

of the Dark Stone.

If we capture the remains of Bodhi,

then they are ours to keep.

Be careful.

Slowly.

Put the four cabinets against the wall

and put the washstand inside.

Drizzle has left Shanxi Province.

She is heading south

and will be near Huizhou

in a few days.

Give me one!

I am willing to turn into a stone bridge

and endure 500 years of wind and rain.

The Dark Stone is the
hidden power at court.

It is said that they hold the lives

of all the officials and
mandarins in their hands.

I've heard that Bodhi's remains

are now in Drizzle's hands.

Drizzle's 41 stroke
Water-Shedding Sword maneuver

is incredibly fast.

It showers the victim
with a barrage slashes

so they look as if they've
been cut by drizzling rain.

We must work together to kill her

and divide the silver
equally amongst ourselves.

Sister

Do you think your
kung fu is good enough?

Once you enter the martials arts
world there is no getting out.

We will be waiting for you in hell.

For performing this
surgery to change your face,

I have one other condition.

I need to know why are you doing this.

That night

I carried the remains
with me to the bridge

and just as I was leaving the city...

You killed my father.

There was the Minister's
son Zhang Renfeng.

Amazingly he was still alive.

I'm late again.

Lift isn't necessarily happy.

Death isn't necessarily painful.

That was the first time I saw wisdom.

So you are Drizzle.

Four strokes of your
sword are incomplete

So what?

I worry that one day

you meet the real master
and be cut to pieces.

Turn around.

Look at me.

I can't look at you again.

In a few more days

I will become a monk.

You are only telling me now?!

Then why have you been
with me for 3 months?

After we part today,

I will recite to prayers
for you day and night,

and ask Buddha to forgive you

and make you awaken and let go.

Let go of all the paths to dharma.

Let go of all the
suffering in the world.

And sail across the bitter sea

until you reach nirvana.

Let go!

Can you let go?

I will kill everyone in
the temple you are joining.

The old and young will all die!

Wait!

Today,

I shall sever this karmic bond

and sever my ties with you.

Hide weakness in deftness.

Use both darkness and light.

Reveal clarity in obscurity.

In surrender become strong.

Those 4 moves can beat
your water shedding sword.

You will be killed.

Strike!

The window of opportunity arrived.

If you can put down
the sword in your hand

and leave this path

I am happy to be

the last person you kill.

Pack up Bodhi's remains

and take them to the
Yunhe Temple in Nanjing.

Give them to the monk named Delusion

The secret of the remains is...

Doctor,

I want a face that will blend in

so that I can live in the city

and lead a normal life.

Think it through.

After you drink this medicine,

you will be a different person.

I don't want to ever
see this face again.

First I will take some poisonous insects

and place them in your hand.

This medicine will lead
them to your cheek bones

where they will eat part of the bone.

Then I will slice open
your face, take out the bugs

and use gold thread to sew up your face.

3 months later the
operation will be complete.

Zeng Jing's tombstone

Miss, you have come.

I am Delusion.

When wisdom was 6 he
listened to me read mantras.

When he was 10 he went to shaolin

and studied martials arts.

That was 27 years ago.

All of the monks in the temple

said he was their number one master

in both buddist and martials arts.

Master

Before he died he said

the window of opportunity has arrived.

Buddha can only help those
seeking enlightenment.

When the window passes,
the chance is lost.

And if the window has not yet arrived,

then the effort is wasted.

What does "I would turn

into a bridge for 500 years

and endure the wind and rain"

mean?

Before one of the Buddha's
disciples became a monk

he met a beautiful girl

and fell in love with her.

Buddha asked him: "How
much do you love her?"

And he answered

he would turn into a stone bridge

and endure 500 years of wind

500 years of sunlight

and 500 years of rain.

He only asked that the girl
would walk over the bridge.

He was good to you.

Live your life well.

When you feel unsettled

just come and visit me.

Letter and parcel courier

17 coins within the city.

20 coins for up to 3
miles out of the city.

1 taels of gold for
cross-country delivery.

Jiang Ah-Sheng, quickly take
this ginseng to the Liu residence.

His mother is dying. This will
give her a little more time.

OK. No problem.

Quickly!

Give it to me!

Auntie

There you are. Here
is this month's rent.

How about a cup of tea?

Sure.

This is the perfect weather for tea.

Here.

The rain is getting
heavier. Let's go home.

The wind is to strong.

Your fabric is falling down.

Let me help you.

Pack up! Pack up!

Many thanks.

You are welcome.

That's Jiang Ah-Sheng.

He just moved here last month.

He is a courier.

He is single, just like you.

But that will all change soon.

I have already arranged
everything for tonight.

Wait a minute!

I already said, I am not going.

If you don't go, there will be trouble.

You've taken peoples
money again haven't you?

He came all the way from the
terrible bridge just to see you.

The least you could do is take a look.

If you don't like him
you can leave any time.

I am leaving.

You can't leave you just got here.

He's the one?

I don't like him.

So, you don't like the butcher Zhu

How about bamboo digger Zhou?

Coolie Su?

What about farmer Fang?

I really have to go.

Just how many people
did you take money from?

Which of them

are not here for matchmaking?

Auntie, I know you're
doing it for my own good.

But please, don't do it again.

Jing!

Jing!

Auntie

What are we eating tonight?

Ah-Sheng, auntie has
a question for you.

Fatty Chen's oil shop

The Magistrate of Xuzhou

150,000 taels of silver

The Prefect of Hangzhou:

One...

Fatty chen, you have managed
to keep up your kung fu.

Lei Bin

You're early.

Your bird is still alive?

You!

Even if you die

it will still be alive.

If you keep harassing

my pet bird

I'll kill you.

Chief

Here are this months accounts

showing the tribute
paid by the mandarins.

Any news on Drizzle's whereabouts?

For more than a year,

our spies have checked the
key spots of the Capital.

My guess is she has left the Capital.

And the other half of Bodhi's remains?

Some have said they are in
hands of the Kongdong Sect.

And other have said they are here
in the Capital with Zhang Dajing.

Find out immediately.

I will.

Also Drizzle's replacement
has already been selected.

The Magician has already
caught up with her.

Where is she?

Hebei Province.

Tangzhou County

Turquoise Ye is hereby found guilty

of murdering three people.

Unwilling to marry her
fiance, Wang Chongli,

she secretly carried a dagger

and used it on her wedding night

to kill Wang and his parents.

This was a premeditated murder,

and she will not be shown clemency.

She is hereby sentenced to be executed.

The punishment to be
carried out tomorrow.

This is your last meal.

What are you doing?

What is it?

Just write it like this:

The murderer Turquoise
Ye's limbs are all cold.

She has no pulse.

The cause of death?

She committed suicide by
poison to avoid beheading.

Her identity and death
have been confirmed.

The body can be buried.

Notify her family that
they can pick up the body.

Who are you? Did you
bury me in this coffin?

This is tortoise powder.

Once you ingest it,

for the next twenty hours

it's as if you're really dead.

Screw your tortoise powder!

Do you know how scary it was?

I may have looked dead,
but I could hear everything.

From this day forward,

I am your father.

and the Dark Stone is your mother.

I will teach you kung fu and swordplay.

You've already died once.

You can either join us or die again.

Look, it's going to rain again!

Quick, let's pack up!

Pack up the clothes!

Here, give me a hand.

Auntie

It's starting to rain

It's going to rain. Help me pack.

Let me help you pack up.

Wait for me!

It's going to rain for a while

Don't stand outside. Come
in and have a cup of tea.

Drink some tea....

That sounds good.

She secretly carried a dagger.

Why don't you try them?

dried fruits...

I like those too

thanks for your help today

damned weather

Why doesn't it rain more
so I'll have more business?

A few more drops wouldn't
kill you, would it?

What do you think of Jiang Ah-Sheng?

What do you mean?

He's been asking about you recently.

About me?

What does he want to know?

You know, how old you
are, if you've married,

about your family.

As soon as he asked me,

I knew what he was thinking

What is he thinking?

Jiang Ah-Sheng is single

Wait a minute.

No more matchmaking.

Forgive me if I'm being to direct.

For women,

the most important
thing is to find a man.

Okay, don't worry.

The money?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ten Mile Bridge

Vermilion Alley, Butcher Zhu

Are you Butcher Zhu?

A white-haired old man asked me
to deliver this letter to you.

Three punches

What are you rushing for?

It's going to rain.

Don't panic. Here.

I'll recite a prayer, and
someone will come to help you.

Oh great Buddha,

hear auntie cai's prayer.

Jiang Ah-Sheng, Jiang
Ah-Sheng at once!

What sort of nonsense was that?

Quick, cover the noodles!

Auntie

I just happened to be passing
by. Let me help you pack up.

What happened to your eye?

I delivered a letter to a lunatic.

He punched me in the face.

Hey you two,

today the rain will
definitely last for a while.

Why don't you come in and have some tea?

No, thanks.

I just drank a lot of water.

You...

You don't seem to be in
the mood for tea either.

It's a shame.

They're dead.

I just happened to be passing by.

Let me help you pack up.
You've just gotten here?

Where is she?

She asked me to keep
an eye on her booth.

She's been gone for over 4 hours.

Here, I'll let you pack it up.

Master,

please tell me

that I am lucky enough to
start my life over again.

Please, tell me

if I can really have a fresh start?

Go!

The dead shall open
the eyes of the living.

The heart yearning for
the past is unattainable.

The heart yearning for the
present is unattainable.

The heart yearning for
the future is unattainable.

The future becomes the present.

The present becomes the past.

Seek not the heart
that connects the three!

What is unattainable speaks
not of what can be pursued.

I was just passing by.
Let me help you pack up.

Auntie

Don't pack it up.

Why? It will get wet.

Let it get wet.

Why id you come looking for me?

I...

I...

Why did you come looking for me?

Let me ask you something.

You have to answer me
before it stops raining.

I will only ask once.

Are you willing or not?

What did you say?

You...

Are you willing to marry me?

First, bow to heaven and earth.

Second, bow to your parents.

Since all of your parents are
dead, we can skip this step.

Now, bow to each other.

Now, together you go,
into the bridal chamber.

Six months later

Do you need my help?

No, thanks.

Honey,

you really know how to use a knife.

I've never seen such perfectly cut tofu.

Can you go to the corner
and buy some soy sauce?

And then pick up five
pounds of rice at the store?

I've already paid for them.

All you have to do is pick them up.

You haven't left yet?

Just get five pounds.

Don't buy more because it's cheap.

Five pounds. Okay.

Fatty Chen's oil shop

It was an expert. One
blow with a machete.

This is the fourth
one dead in six months.

This is Fatty Chen's sword.

It wasn't a machete, it was a sword.

Whoever killed him used
a sword like a machete.

They used a sword like a machete

to hide their identity.

Could it be Drizzle?

It's not her.

It's not her technique.

What did they take?

All of the classified files

and the account books showing
the money paid by the mandarins.

Any news on Bodhi's remains?

We just received a letter
from Henan Province.

The Kongdong Sect has
sent out two assassins.

I think they know were the remains are.

They are on their way from the Capital

and will arrive within a month.

Who are they meeting up with?

It should be Zhang
Dajing of the United Bank.

Chief,

only Lei Bin is in the Capital.

Will he be able to defeat both of them?

The herbs were one tael and three coins.

The rent is three tael's and two coins.

The shoes were seven coins.

The oil was half a tael.

Don't keep reading. We
are over-budget this month.

We have to pay our taxes
to the court next month.

Oh, I almost forgot...

This is a half-year bank note.

I saved bit by bit.

It's worth fifteen
tael's and seven coins.

You can cash it in tomorrow.

I'll go to the bank tomorrow then.

If you had 800,000 taels of silver,

what would you do with it?

If I had 800,000 taels of silver,

you wouldn't be here with me.

Why?

Because you would be
afraid that I would think

that you were marrying me for the money.

United Bank

I'll go and get the money.

Wait here.

Here is your silver.

Thank you. Please take it.

Immobolize them!

Sir, don't be angry. Please,
accept this humble gift.

Where is the vault?

Sir, those mushrooms are great!

They will extend your life!

Did anyone deposit a corpse...

No, half of a corpse?

Sir, we only accept silver
and gold, not bodies.

They're robbing the bank!

The police are coming!

Call the police!

Don't worry. Everything will be alright.

Brother, this lady is really tough.

We brothers came to the
Capital for business.

Sorry for offending you.

Please, go ahead if you
have nothing to do with this.

Then...

I will have to offend you!

Slaughter her!

Let's go!

Quickly! Don't let them get away!

Freeze! Where are you all going?

Arrest them!

Stay back! Stay back!

Ah-Sheng, I...

Okay, let's eat.

You're not the least bit curious?

It's no big deal.

Even if you were a big bandit before,

you're still my wife now.

Ahhh, smells good!

Today's stew is braised
meatballs with vegetables.

I'll serve it.

I'll ask you one last time,
who else know about the remains?

I told you before.

The Kongdong Sect said

the banker Zhang Dajing has the remains.

So, you pretended to rob the bank.

Don't worry.

It will heal in a few days.

So, the woman fought empty handed?

She did that on purpose.

What was your last move?

Strike

Did she take your sword like this?

How did you know?

Tell me, how were you blinded?

What ministry are you from?

Why did you drag me out of
prison and bring me here?

I told you everything I know!

Call Turquoise, Lei Bin and
the Magician to the Capital.

Yes.

I'll show you guys a trick.

A bamboo cup,

a bowl,

and some water.

Watch carefully.

Go!

Where did it go? Look here.

Arise!

Wow!

That's incredbile!

Now I will turn wine into ice.

This is my newest
trick, I just learned it.

Old Lian, can you
turn wine into ice too?

I used to be able to when I was young.

Why can't you do it anymore?

Yes, why not?

Because the things I can
do now are all those...

real tricks.

You're talking about
the magical Flying Rope?

The magical Flying
Rope is only a legend.

There is no such thing.

Have any of you seen this trick?

No.

Don't you always want to
see the magical Flying Rope?

Up!

Disperse!

You have to have a
real skill to climb up.

Can you make it?

I'm going up.

what is this?

It's fake.

It's a scarecrow.

Where is he?

I have to go take care of some things.

When will you be back?

In three to five days,
if everything goes well.

I'm drying some noodles on the roof.

Remember to take them
down in the morning.

People lay out cloths
to dry, not noodles.

This time it will work.

Air dried noodles don't get mushy,

no matter how long you boil them.

Come back soon.

The kid is waiting for
you to cook noodles.

That's cold.

You want to move back
to Changzhou, right?

If everything goes well,

when I come back.

we'll leave the Capital.

Maybe open a noodle shop in Changzhou.

Okay?

Really?

Miss

Come here.

Where are you going?

Come on!

Come on, let's go!

Hey! You can't do that!

Jing, you came at the right time.

Take this home.

Stir-fry it with jujubes,
angelica and vinegar.

Have one bowl each
time after your period.

Can I eat it?

This is a secret recipe
named "multiple offspring".

Honey.

Honey.

You're home early today.

Oh, I forgot some things.

I was a bit hungry

and came back to get something to eat.

Honey,

my shoe is worn out.

Take it off, and I
will repair it tomorrow.

What is it?

Oil has become more expensive.

Then use a candle.

Is that her?

She can change her face, but
she can't change her aura.

Aura?

I only see an average
housewife reparing shoes.

What aura?

You're right, the aura is still there.

But the killer instinct
is not as strong as before.

Your eyes must be bad.

Do you really like this man

or did you just want any man?

I doubt you're really Drizzle.

It's Doctor Li's work

Why?

you didn't like your old face?

Why go you wear a mask?

You don't like your face?

You killed Fatty Chen and
took all the secret files?

If it were me,

both of you would already be dead.

You really want to take us on?

That sounds like fun.

Return the remains to the Dark
Stone and I will let you live.

If you dare say no,

first I will kill your husband,

then everyone you know,

and finally yourself.

I'll trade you the
remains for something.

Trade them for what?

Me and my husband.

You like him that much?

If you help me get the
other half of the remains,

I will let you go.

The Kongdong Sect knows where it is.

They will be in the
Capital in a few days.

Help me get the remains,
and you and I are even.

Don't run away.

You will be watched.

This sore will never heal.

I too want to hide and nurse my wounds.

But once I get the signal from the
Dark Stone,I have to kill again.

Here.

Tell me, why did you really leave?

Was it for the remains or for him?

Once you start down this
path, there is no escape.

No regrets and no way out.

I like this life I have now.

Ok,

see you in three days
at the Yueyang Inn.

Feng's Residence

One million tael's of silver.

Two million taels of silver.

Three million taels of silver.

You told me there is no
leaving the Dark Stone.

Why let her go?

You have nerve! Pointing
a sword at my back?

There was a reason why we picked you.

Why don't you attack?

Kill me,

and these millions of taels

and the tribute from the
mandarins will all be yours.

You can take my place.

I heard whoever has the remains
can rule the martial arts world.

If you can study the
kung fu from the remains,

then teach it to me.

Put your clothes back on and go.

Until we get the remains,

don't move against Jing and her husband.

I like it when you lie on me.

United Bank

The Kongdong Purple and Teal
swords are known for their skill,

but not their character.

They were master and disciple,

but now they're husband and wife.

What a joke.

If everyone followed their path,

then we would be married.

That's Zhang Dajing of the United Bank.

He's offering a reward of one
million taels for Bodhi's remains.

He's very rich, but he is a cripple.

Tonight,

we will strike in the lobby of the bank.

You two will attack.

Don't forget to bring the
other half of the remains.

I really don't understand.

Why would a woman,

whose name make the
martials world tremble,

marry an ugly, poor
good-for-nothing?

Take one, it's really good.

I followed him for three days.

Every day, he's cleaning horses
and cleaning up their dung.

The only interesting thing he did,

was to buy a whetting
stone this morning.

Boss,

I'll take this one.

Such a hopeless man.

Don't you want to leave him?

So, I did you a favor

and killed him.

Your melon is too sweet!

I'll take one.

Strange.

This is the first time Jing
went to the temple at night

and now a crazy woman
appears in my house.

Everyone come look!

There's a crazy woman in my house!

A naked crazy woman!

Everyone come and see!

They're here.

You're late.

What's that smell?

100,000 taels of gold,

plus checks for 1
million taels of silver.

Those are Bodhi's remains?

Quickly!

Quickly!

The blind can see again.

The deaf and hear again!

And the crippled can
re-grow their legs!

As long as I can walk again,

it's worth all of my family's wealth!

Zhang Dajing is going to die.

This is wrong.

It's a fake!

It's fake!

Kill them!

Let's move in!

Let's go!

Who are you?

I've been a Dark Stone
assassin for decades.

Now I am old and sick.

If these remains can
really restore your health,

Why don't I take them for myself?

Leave the remains.

I've known you for so long

yet never faced your sword.

Let's make it today then.

Dark Stoners never fight each other.

But it looks like we'll
break the rules today.

Magician,

you've betrayed me too.

Who betrayed who?

Why do we always have to
risk our lives for you?

and give you everything we earn?

Let's begin.

Wheel King.

If you and I fight,

we don't know who the winner will be.

But if the three of
us fight against you,

these's no way you can win.

If the three of us team up and kill him,

Drizzle can return to her normal life.

Lei Bin,

you can keep all of the tribute money.

I just want the remains.

Afterwards,

we can all go our separate ways.

Here is the other half of the remains.

After today,

I will have nothing more
to do with the Dark Stone.

This is fun.

You all actually want to quit.

Three against two
- the result is the same.

Show me your Water-Shedding Sword.

I could have killed you.

I know.

But you didn't.

Because you're no longer Drizzle.

I told you a long time ago,

If you want to do
tricks, then do tricks.

If you want to practice kung
fu, then practice kung fu.

But you always mixed them together.

It's amazing that
you're lived this long.

Lei Bin!

Kill Turquoise and help
me finish the Wheel King!

Quick!

Flying Rope! Go!

Your magic failed this time.

None of you can beat Drizzle.

But her swordplay has
some weaknesses in it.

When I was teaching her the
Water-Shedding Sword maneuver,

I taught her 4 mistakes.

Watch carefully.

Didn't you always want to know
the Water-Shedding Sword maneuver?

Ah-Sheng

Ah-Sheng

Listen carefully...

Leave the city now.

Go north as fast as you can.

In case I don't make it,

everything about me

is buried in the Yunhe Temple graveyard.

Honey

It looks loke you're in
big trouble this time.

You won't feel it, it won't hurt.

I told you it wouldn't hurt.

She's still alive.

You're the ones who injured my wife?

So what?

By the looks of you two,

it seems like it's hard to resolve this.

Can't you just let her go?

Should I kill you first? Or her?

It's hard to say

who will die first.

You call that a sword?

I just need to sharpen it a bit.

Don't you think it's a bit late?

It's not late.

Not at all.

Don't waste your energy.

A needle in this accupuncture point....

and then a second one...

and then it won't hurt
a bit when you die.

You haven't died.

How do you know if it hurts or not?

Your needles are good for sneak attacks

in open areas.

This house is so small,

so using needles is not ideal.

You don't recognize these two swords?

Impossible!

We've already killed you.

These are urgents documents.

Get them to the courier on time

or you will be blamed.

The senior eunuchs felt sorry for you,

so I kept you as a messenger.

If I hadn't, you'd have
starved to death already.

Cao Feng, you wait here.

Here, wait here!

Good morning.

Good morning, Eunuch Tang.

It's still morning.

If it wasn't for Cao Feng,

I'd have been here a long time ago.

I've been hoping to try
Eunuch Zhang's special tea.

We are all envious of you.

Who would imagine that
the Dark Stone's Wheel King

is a low-ranking palace eunuch?

Who are you?

Later tonight,

I'll wait for you at the Yunhe Temple.

Why should I go to there?

How did you find me?

You killed Fatty Chen?

How did you get the pairing sword?

Cao Feng, let's go!

They are my swords.

Cao Feng!

You're Zhang Renfeng.

But do you know who your wife is?

How ironic!

If you don't come,

you'll never see Bodhi's remains again

What did you say!?

Cao Feng, are you deaf?!

I told you to go, and
you're still standing there!

I'll be waiting tonight
at the Yunhe Temple.

You!

Cao Feng,you are brazen!

Pretending to be deaf....

I've given her some medicine.

She has lost a lot of blood.

Let her rest for a while.

I have to go to the Yunhe Temple.

If I don't come back,

don't tell her who I am.

You don't think this is destiny?

You haven't realized?

You were only struck by
a little sword energy.

Unclog your veins, and you'll be fine.

There won't be a scar.

Did you withhold anything
when you taught me swordplay?

I wouldn't treat you like that.

You...

I am.

You...You're a eunuch.

I am for now.

I've obtained Bodhi's remains.

In a few more days,

I'll be a real man.

You're not a man.

I will be.

When Bodhi came to China

to live in the palace,

he would have been castrated.

But the remains show

that Bodhi was not a eunuch,

but a real man.

Why?

This is Bodhi's secret kung fu.

I see.

From the intersections
of the veins, I can follow

the movement of Bodhi's internal energy

the flow goes through

the main meridians of his body.

He could regenerate organs,

even if they have been cut off.

I entered the palace when I was twelve.

After fifty years,

I am just a eunuch of the ninth rank.

I hate eunuchs!

I hate the way I talk!

I hate that I can't grow mustache!

I hate...

I've had to hide my kung fu skills.

Once I understand the
secret of Bodhi's remains

and restore myself, we
can retire from this world.

We can live freely.

Just the two of us.

You really think it will grow back?

We've all been fighting
over the remains,

and when we get them, they
turn out to be a big joke.

Do you know why I
killed my first husband?

Because he was just like you.

Impotent.

No, you're not impotent.

There's just nothing there.

This is what I am owed.

I am not taking any extra.

You!

Karma really is a bitch.

It's tough being a person.

You've died once before.

This time,

it shouldn't be too difficult.

Your name is not Zeng Jing.

And my name is not Jiang Ah-Sheng.

My real name is Zhang Renfeng.

My father was Minister Zhang Hiaduan.

My family is dead.

They were all killed by
you and the Dark Stone.

Most people can't survive
a chest wound like this,

but your internal organs are reversed.

Most people's heart are on the
left, but yours on the right.

Doctor,

can you give me a different face?

Then Doctor Li performed the surgery

and told me

that after your surgery
you moved to Nanjing.

You want to rent a room?

What is your name?

My name is Jiang Ah-Sheng.

Thus, I changed my
name to Jiang Ah-Sheng

and went to Nanjing looking for you.

I could have killed you any day.

However, in order to wipe
out the Dark Stone first,

I had been waiting until now.

Turn around and look at me.

You know everything.

Ah-Sheng

Before you kill me,

I want to ask you something.

Did you ever love me?

Not at all.

I have no feelings for you at all!

I don't care that you
thought you killed me,

But you killed my father!

There is no way I can forgive you!

Go!

If my father knew I killed a woman,

he would never forgive me.

I don't ever want to see you again.

Just go.

Fine.

Do you know why I am
burying you under the bridge?

I like you too much!

This way I can see you

every time I cross the bridge.

Close your eyes. Good, close your eyes.

Everything will be finished soon.

Where do you think you're going?

Go back, go back.

Go back!

The two of us;

we're not over yet.

May Buddha have mercy.

Please, protect my
husband Jiang Ah-Sheng

and let him live a long life.

The 10th Yamma Palace

The Wheel King lives
alone in the 10th Palace

putting souls on trial

and determining life spans.

Dividing the rich and the poor,

and sending out souls for reincarnation.

Before wisdom died, he told me

the reason Bodhi's
remains are so renowned

is because of his high
level of spirtual culvation.

Your heart overflows with violence.

Even if you learn how he moved energy,

what's the use?

In this life,

you will always be an eunuch.

You can start over.

Why not me?

I just want to be a real man.

Is that too much to ask?

I'm the one who taught you

the Water-Shedding Sword maneuver.

But you didn't master it

and there are four
errors in your technique.

Today, I'll teach you again.

There are 4 sword strokes
that you haven't mastered.

I worry that one day
you'll meet a real master.

These four moves can beat your
Water-Shedding Sword if you don't master them.

You will certainly be killed!

Let me reap the consequences of karma.

Hide weakness in deftness.

Hide weakness in deftness.

Use both darkness and light.

Use both darkness and light.

Reveal clarity in obscurity.

In surrender become strong.

How did you suddenly
strike me eleven times?

I would willingly turn into a bridge

for 500 years and endure the wind,

the sun,

and the rain.

Ah-Sheng,

this is tortoise powder.

Within a few hours,

your heart and breath will stop
and you will appear to be dead.

When the Wheel King sees you,
he will think you're dead.

I will make sure your
father's death is avenged.

I changed all of my money into gold.

and paved it on the floor of our house.

After I die,

take the money and leave the Capital.

Get married and raise a family.

Your heart will not stop beating.

Come on,

let's go home.

After we get home, draw
up the divorce papers.

Don't be silly.

We have years ahead of us.
