Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain

---

Mount Zu was the collective name

for the mountain chain

in ancient Zu in Western China.

It is also the Sichuan oftoday.

Mount Zu was of great military strategic

importance in ancient China.

As such, it was constantly in a

state ofwar,

regardless of reign and dynasty.

But in Chinese legends and folklore,

Mount Zu was also a place of mystique.

For it harbored numerous exotic peaks

and old temples

from which many legends were born.

This was where our story, "Zu, Warriors

from the Magic Mountain" began.

It was in the 5th century,

China has been suffering from decades

of civil wars and unrest.

Get me the scout immediately!

Scout Ti Ming-Chi reporting to 1st and

Where are the Yellow Troops now?

Reporting to 1st Commander.

The Yellow Troops

have been defeated and fled in disarray.

They have now made it down to

San-Chang Creek.

That's wonderful! We'll take to the

waters to finish our attack.

soldiers ofthe Yellow Troops are

already wounded and in disarray.

Moreover, any attack will hurt

the many civilians along

San-Chang Creek.

Then we will go after them on land.

You may lead the way.

I want not a soul to be spared!

Yes, Commander!

The land route meanders and

is too dangerous.

Ti Ming-Chi,

lead the way by water!

Let's go by the water.

No way.

The waters take too long and will

give the enemy an opportunity to retreat.

We'd better go by land!

Nonsense! Go by water!

Go by land.

By water!

Ti, whose orders do you obey?

I obey both your orders.

That's insubordination! I'll kill you!

Then I will obey neither one of

your orders!

That's worse! Kill him!

Kill him!

My two Commanders,

that's not what I meant!

Stop! I am not the enemy!

Kill...Kill...

A boat? Get me across the river.

I can't.

Why not?

The sword behind me says no.

Move aside!

- West Zu soldier?

- East Zu soldier?

West Zu soldier,

this is not a battlefield.

You're right.

Then put away your sword.

You put away yours first.

No. You first!

After you!

Gentlemen, no need to fight over this.

I'll count to three, and you'll both

put away your swords.

Ready...Set...

Hey, I thought you said

we're not going to fight!

Four generations of my ancestors

were killed by East Zu soldiers.

I have to avenge their deaths.

So? Your soldiers killed five

generations of my ancestors!

How should I figure those lives?/

Fine. Let the sword do us justice.

Fine. I'm not afraid ofyou.

I'll slash you...

I'll Block...

I slash...

Block...

I slash, slash, slash...

I block, block, block...

I slash, slash...

I block...

Bad news for you.

My reinforcements are here.

How do you know they're yours?

May be they're mine.

That's easy enough. Just take a look

at the color ofthe arrow.

Get one and see for yourself.

They're really my reinforcements.

How could you know? You didn't

even get an arrow in here.

No need. I could tell by my touch.

You don't believe me?

Take a look yourself.

You take a look first.

They're for neither one of us.

They're yellow!

Front or rear ofthe boat?

Rear!

Get them out ofthe water!

Yes!

Don't you worry. I'm tired from

fighting all these years.

I won't fight you anymore. I'm leaving.

I won't fight...

I said I won't fight you anymore...

Your water bottle!

It is my water bottle!

Are you all right?

You are so big, but such a timid cat!

Hey, we just met.

I didn't know ifyou're a

good or bad guy.

By the way, where are you from?

I'm from the village on the left side

of Nan-An.

Really? We're practically neighbors!

I'm from the village on the right!

No wonder your face looked so familiar.

You're not such a bad guy!

We're both good men.

We're just dressed in different colors.

That's the crux of our problem.

The country is so divided.

We can chat so nicely here.

But ifwe were on the battlefield...

Charge...

Not again!

Charge!

Charge!

This sure is a colorful battle!

Forget about the colors. Let's pretend

to fight. No one will notice!

Are you for real?

Just fake it!

Don't fight so hard!

Should we carry on?

You watch the front, I mind the back.

First chance we get, we slip away.

Let's get going then!

Stop showing off. Let's go!

Ouch! Why did you hit me so hard?

Nice reaction!

Chubby, I'm over here!

Don't worry! Let me help you!

Three against one.

We're on the same side.

Get him! Get him!

Six against three...

Get them!

Nine against six!

All of us against him!

Charge...

Run!

Let's pretend we're dead!

Just let them fight it out.

Wonder when they'll be through?

Not too long, I hope.

You guys are pretending too?

Oh, it's the Yellows again!

There's still the Red and the Blue.

Don't let them get away.

Go after them!

You go on ahead. I'll divert them here.

No way. We're friends!

I can't leave you here like this!

One alive is better than two dead!

Run!

No!

Go!

Who pushed you off?

Mommy! Help!

Swordsman! My Savior!

Please don't go so soon.

You have something to say to me?

Swordsman, you must know the world is

plagued with war and destruction.

With your remarkable kung-fu

and abilities,

you must rescue us from this plight.

Wars and unrest are perpetual

throughout the history of men.

But the troubles were all caused by men

who kill each other and have no

respect for human lives whatsoever.

Woe onto them!

There's nothing you or I can change.

You should go into seclusion in the

mountains

while you can still

tell right from wrong.

Please do not give up, Master.

If everyone can give their best,

peace will come.

So you're lecturing me now!

But I'm afraid this is

just not your time.

Ifyou do not leave now,

you will become one ofthem!

Swordsman! Swordsman!

Swordsman! Swordsman!

Swordsman!

All legendary swordsmen come and

go in mysterious ways.

He's testing me now. Fine.

I'll wait for him right here.

I've finally waited for you to show!

That was a very foolish thing to do

in a hell like this.

This is so danger here.

Hell will be waiting for you.

Hell? That's why all the skulls are here!

This must have been a battleground.

No. All the skulls bear

the sign ofthe Evil Disciples.

To train their evil sorcery, the Evil

Disciples needed bones of virgins.

These children were the sacrifice.

Bones of virgins?

Now you know why I wanted you

to get out of here.

Is it because I'm still a virgin?

Thank God!

You're wrong. It doesn't matter

whether you are or not.

The Evil Disciples will not let you live.

Besides, no one will believe

you're a virgin anyway!

So, why were you waiting for me?

I want to be your student.

I've always been a loner.

Then change your

bad habit as oftoday!

Teacher...Teacher...Teacher!

I'm not your teacher.

Ifyou teach me how to fight,

I will help the meek

and fight the bad.

I will not take you as my student.

Teacher...Teacher...

Keep calling me and I'll vanish.

All right. I'll shut up.

Please come out!

It's the Blood crows!

Unsheathe!

Stars shine in seventh heavens.

The moon lights up the earth.

Evil...Evil...
