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?

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 b*tch.

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.
