New Gods: Yang Jian (2022) Movie Script
1
A long long time ago
there was chaos in heaven and on earth.
Life was precarious.
Battles raged, there was slaughter.
Finally, the Shang and Zhou fought for supremacy
and humans and gods united
to get through the catastrophe.
The Order of the Gods was set.
Each one in its place.
Each carved a home in rock.
The world returned to peace.
That was our last bag of Cosmic Gas.
Erlang, without more jobs
we won't be going anywhere.
Listen, Boss -
Without work
we can't buy gas.
Yao -
In the past, we all danced in the clouds.
But since the Catastrophe,
except for those with wings,
immortals and demons,
we've had to rely on flying boats.
That Catastrophe
When was that exactly?
Too many.
So true.
I even forgot how to fly.
It's like listening to fairy tales.
Job notice
for Penglai, Home of the Gods.
Finally, our luck's changing.
We're already in Penglai.
We have to beat other bounty hunters to it.
Only 20 strings of Three Realms cash?
The guy looks pretty ruthless.
Even the Penglai gods are poor.
If we don't work soon,
we won't eat.
Well, let's try our luck then.
It's that time of morning.
Red Bird Gate is open.
Carefree and harmonious
Penglai welcomes
all gods and spirits
with security and good fortune.
Be safe in place,
stay in your lane.
Want the Elixir of Life?
Show me the money.
Or get lost.
Not interested in fake meds.
If that's the case, get lost.
One immortal,
one demon.
Weird combo you got there.
When you're hard up,
any combo will do.
Better a dog than a hard-up god, right?
True.
My dog has an easier life than me.
See, it got its smell all over me.
Twenty strings of cash.
You looked like some kind of sherrif.
You're just a bounty hunter.
Ow, ow, ow.
Your head's still pretty hard.
Where are you going?
I'm after money, not your life.
Don't trip!
What the...
Funny time to run out of gas.
Want to catch me?
Excellent timing.
It's her nose.
You know how it is.
She caught your scent, we chased you up.
You're back!
Enough, enough.
What's this then?
An offence to public decency.
I like it.
You jealous?
Bro -
you're in it for the money, yeah?
Let me go.
I'll pay five times the reward.
100 strings of cash.
You little snake oil peddlar.
Who'd believe you?
It's true. Really.
It's buried by the bridge.
Only I know about it.
Boss,
sounds good.
Let's see -
I'll pose the question.
What's that?
I'm asking the cosmos -
do I release you or not?
How's that sound?
Twenty strings of cash.
Boss -
When you threw the harmonica -
was it heads up you let him go
or tails up you let him go?
You didn't say.
Enough.
Money!
Someone's asking for you.
We've got a customer.
Yes, and it's a pretty lady.
Really pretty.
Coming here to see me?
You're Erlang Mu?
Yes, the second-born son of Mu -
Mu Erlang, that's me.
I want to find someone.
We're bounty hunters.
We catch people, we don't look for them.
I want you to catch someone.
That fits the job description.
He stole a treasure. It was my sister's.
What was it?
I can't tell you.
Cool.
Me -
I think too much, my head hurts.
My head hurts. So don't tell me.
Have a cup.
My sister and I were always so close.
She disappeared after the upheaval 12 years ago.
All she left behind was that treasure.
It's a family heirloom.
Can you help me?
At your service, but it'll cost.
This is all I have. Take it.
Okay, I'll tell you.
It's the Lamp of Universal Contentment.
It contains all that other vessels cannot.
That's the treasure he stole.
He fled to Square Pot Fairy Island.
This person you seek -
he has a name, right?
Chenxiang.
Chenxiang.
What, have you heard of him?
It's an unusual name.
Take care!
I'm Wanluo. I'll wait in Yingzhou for news.
There's a story there.
Definitely.
Her way of dressing, this ship,
and those manners.
But why'd she come to us?
Our only drawcard is we're cheap.
Next 15 days only!
While stocks last.
Next 15 days only!
While stocks last.
Highest quality,
smoothest flying.
Number 'Yin'. Payment received. Three bags.
Collect it over there, sir.
Number 'Yin'. Three bags.
Good, you can go.
You're in my way, squirt.
No fighting!
You got a nerve!
No fighting! Stop it!
Who's making trouble? No fighting allowed.
Do it!
You're asking for trouble.
Get outta there!
Shut up and don't move.
Boss, Heaven's Army is coming.
Who raised the alarm?
Run!
Over there!
You guys, get them!
Get on the boat!
Start it up!
Wait for me.
You little jerk, you -
Halt!
Ready for take-off.
All systems go.
Next station - Square Pot.
Estimated time of arrival, 7:45 pm.
Please be securely seated.
Wishing you safe soaring.
Welcome, sir.
This way, please.
Beat it. No money, no play.
Here goes!
Place your bets.
Erlang.
Erlang, you're back.
Gao.
What can I do for you?
I need to ask you something.
These ears of mine -
not hearing so well these days.
Even deaf you'd still be Big Ears.
Well, I do owe you.
What do you want to know?
I'm looking for someone. Chenxiang.
Chenxiang?
Never heard of him.
I'll be off.
Hello gentlemen.
What a surprise.
Let me get a good look at you.
Don't be so rough.
Blind!
It's really blind!
"Mu Erlang,
bounty hunter."
I say, Mu-mu, no -
Brother Mu.
So your triple-tip double-blade sword
and silver-bullet slingshot -
all gone!
Everyone -
This is the legendary Yang Jian.
That's Erlang?
How'd he fall so low?
Exactly - How did you fall so low?
No problem. I'll tell them for you.
They say that 12 years ago
the Goddess Yang Chan
fell in love with a mortal,
breaking Heaven's laws.
fell in love with a mortal,
breaking Heaven's laws.
So Yang Jian trapped her under Mount Hua.
But she's his own sister.
Before she was trapped, Yang Chan fought back hard,
using Mt Hua's Precious Lotus Lamp
to blind his Third Eye
and destroy his magic powers.
Since then his superpowers have disappeared.
and destroy his magic powers.
Since then his superpowers have disappeared.
I ask you -
what kind of person
on account of some dumb laws
would trap his own sister under a mountain
wrecking a marriage and family.
Yang Jian -
Back then when you arrested us three
you were so high and mighty.
Today,
I'm going to give you a good beating.
Keep playing.
The Mo Bros?
Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai?
Yang Jian - I never imagined
it would be me saving you one day.
For 12 years, since Mount Hua
there's been no news of you.
And here you are, a bounty hunter.
I have to eat.
Just now, from over there
I heard you ask about someone.
There's a reward.
Don't go looking for him.
It's him we're after.
Do not get involved.
Otherwise -
Are you really threatening Yang Jian?
Yang Jian - you really aren't the old Erlang.
Thanks, gentlemen.
Come back here!
Move!
Just try and get away!
At last, I've got you. There's no escape.
Boss Hai, are these your new men?
You killed the others on that boat.
Hand it over.
What?
What you stole from the hold.
Who said?
Me.
I went and got Boss Hai.
Boss Hai - your new pet?
The most valuable thing on that boat
was the thing you stole.
Hand it over.
Or maybe I'll take an arm and a leg.
Blindy, stay out of it.
Excuse me.
Boss Hai - you have your men
I have mine.
Take this. Now, fight!
No, you got it wrong.
You got it wrong.
I'll kill you all today.
I don't even know him!
Do it!
Thank you for your help.
Later, I'll repay you in spades.
Did you have to be so violent?
If I'd fallen into their hands
I'd have been 10 times worse
What is this?
You actually gave me your treasure.
So they'd think you were on my side.
You didn't worry I'd keep it?
I'd kill you then.
You talk big.
Do you know who I am?
Who cares. I'd still kill you.
I'm Yang Jian, from Mount Plum.
Chenxiang.
How do you know my name?
So it's true.
Someone asked me to find you.
Yang Jian - you again?
And you, what's this about?
You actually -
Listen,
I just bumped into him.
Knifed to death. That's not Yang Jian.
Of course not.
The guy who ran off is your Chenxiang.
Really? What a coincidence.
A little thief.
Is he worth all that fuss?
You really don't know who he is?
He is from your Master's school.
You really don't know who he is?
He is from your Master's school.
A disciple of the younger generation.
Since you're already involved,
ask about him
from your Spiritual Master Yuding.
Good sir, that was amazing!
Please ask the Master
if he'd receive his disciple Yang Jian.
Elder Disciple Yang!
Elder Disciple, follow me!
Jian, you're here.
Your Third Eye is still closed?
Yes.
It's that bad.
If I try hard I can open it a crack.
But I only see bright flashing gold light.
Nothing else.
Hard to remedy.
Maybe something could force it open
but it might make the wound worse.
True.
You came here as a child.
I treated you like a son.
12 years ago,
you sealed Lotus Peak.
But the disasters rolled on.
The godly realm weakened by the day
and demons and monsters arose.
Maybe I was wrong.
Catastrophe will return to the world.
Master, you teach us:
"Do everything you can."
Yes.
Do everything you can
To restore the righteous order.
Shouldn't one try to heal the world?
I understand.
Master -
Down there, I met a boy.
They say he's your disciple.
He's called Chenxiang.
Chenxiang?!
He's your nephew. You brought him here.
You wouldn't know that.
When you brought him here
he was just a squalling infant.
You haven't seen him in years.
I called him Chenxiang, "Agarwood"
so he'd be as serene and steady as a tree.
Who'd have thought
my school
produced a murderous traitor.
Go have a look.
The Master sealed his corpse
until he can treat it.
Why would Chenxiang do that?
I saw it coming.
He's a born troublemaker.
An uneducable, sinful creature.
But because of your deeds at Lotus Peak
Master wasn't willing to expel him.
So he asked Head Disciple
to teach and raise him well.
Head Disciple had a bad temper.
What is this wound?
Together with Shen Gongbao
they ambushed and killed Head Disciple.
Shen Gongbao -
He's back?
Yes.
No idea how the kid joined up with him.
Shen Gongbao is a master of doubling.
And they took Head Disciple's new magic treasure.
What was that?
The Lamp of Universal Contentment.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Next step?
You have the Precious Lotus Lamp oil.
Next, of course, you need the lamp cover.
Bravo!
I ran into someone.
Who?
Yang Jian. An older disciple of my master.
Him!
He said he's looking for me.
Because of your master?
No.
He seems not to know about that.
Come.
Come.
Come.
You know him as an older disciple.
He's actually your uncle.
He... he's my uncle?
It's also him
who trapped your mother under Lotus Peak.
Yang Jian has natural powers.
He repelled the force of the Lotus Lamp
and it shattered into pieces.
If you put it back together
it'll be as new.
You can use its force
to crack open Lotus Peak
and save your mother.
Yang Jian,
your Master,
the lot of them,
they're a pack of wolves.
That group of guys,
they made me, Shen Gongbao General for Splitting the Waters
and stuck me in a blue hole in the East Sea.
They talk benevolence and morality
but they're such hypocrites.
So I grit my teeth and put up with it.
So many years have passed.
The chance for revenge
is mine at last.
Why is Yang Jian after me?
The Precious Lotus Lamp of course.
That lamp -
only your mother's flesh and blood can activate it.
You.
They also stole Head Disciple's new magic weapon.
The Lamp of Universal Contentment.
He stole a treasure. It was my sister's.
It's the Lamp of Universal Contentment.
Wanluo will wait in Yingzhou for news.
It's starting!
Cosmic Gas really lets people fly.
It's marvellous.
Her modest beauty charms me
But my trembling heart is sad
For there is no go-between here for us
So I offer my jade belt as a pledge
To this refined and learned lady
She gives me a garnet in return
And points me to the river
But I hesitate, unable to go
Strings and drums, music with no player.
Come, bring my tea.
Bring my tea.
Erlang, coming in like that
you gave me a fright.
My apologies.
I was lost in thought
about your beautiful performance
and forget myself.It was rude of me.
You liked my song?
The ethereal sound
still lingers in the air.
Cao Zhi's "Goddess of the Luo River"
has such sorrowful lyrics.
Such inexpressible pain
and anguish -
it's so melancholic.
Why are you staring, Erlang?
I don't know.
The last time I saw you
I felt like I'd met you before.
But I had no idea where.
Maybe it was in your dreams.
Maybe...
I
am the woman of your dreams.
Maybe.
I found Chenxiang.
The little thief.
Where is he?
He got away again.
Chenxiang was also at my school.
A younger generation.
Mu Erlang, you -
My real name is Yang Jian.
You're Yang Jian!
That Lamp of Universal Contentment
belonged to Chenxiang's master.
So, I'd like to ask
why you lied,
saying it was your sister's.
Yang Jian -
There are some things
it's better not to know.
Jian
Mother,
Mother!
Jian
Mother,
mother
Jian,
split open the mountain.
Don't go.
Split open the mountain.
Mother
Mother
Not a bad defensive move.
Bit over the top, though.
This...
You're after the Lotus Lamp?
What's it to you?
I think you already know.
I'm your uncle.
It's true, I took you to Golden Sunset Cave.
You'd only just been born.
You didn't even have a name.
You were only -
only a tiny little thing.
That Head Disciple.
I knew he had a nasty temper.
I don't know why Master put you in his care.
Was it hard for you there?
It was fantastic.
Except he didn't teach me anything.
He beat me every day
and starved me.
Called me a motherless, fatherless bastard.
I'm so sorry. I'd no idea.
But even so
you didn't have to kill him.
And you didn't have to bury my mother under Lotus Peak.
Let me go.
Yang Jian - well done!
Chenxiang, you killed your teacher.
We're arresting you on Heaven's orders.
You -
We're arresting you on Heaven's orders.
You -
Give yourself up.
Yang Jian, this time we caught you -
you let him go.
We have to take you in.
Don't trouble yourselves.
Once I'm done with this job
I'll come to you and surrender.
Yang Jian, you did wrong.
Release the fiery winds!
Heavenly strings, bind him!
So Number Four is here too.
That was pretty sneaky.
It's not really your style.
During the Pantheonic War
you defeated the four of us
using pretty sneaky methods too, right?
I suppose.
Yang Jian, I told them
that you weren't involved.
But -
Just admit your guilt.
If you run into trouble
I'll support you at the Celestial Court.
But what did I do?
What did you do?
You conspired with Chenxiang
in murder and harm to your school.
Me?
No, this is -
Newbie, cut the racket.
What's your problem?
Newbie, cut the racket.
What's your problem?
First time in the clink?
Yang Jian?
Well if it isn't Yang Jian.
Who are you?
Me?
You, you, you
The gourd, the Elixir of Life.
The tall guy, the tall guy next to me -
You two - DUANG! Then DONGDONGDONG
I was like DOODOODOO
You two - DUANG! Then DONGDONGDONG
I was like DOODOODOO
You came from behind and SHUA
Then you -
Twenty strings of cash.
You might be Yang Jian
but you're a nobody to me.
Grease my palm or cop my beating.
Take it easy, bro.
Watch out.
Cut the noise.
Stop yelling.
Yang Jian, although I caught you -
you caught me.
But no biggie, no vengeance.
I'm a generous guy.
You don't know -
If you ignore the screws like that
they'll punish you bad next time.
You listening?
A fight!
It's on!
This will be fun.
Maybe it's a breakout?
Yang Jian, won't you even look?
Do you think they've come for you?
Behave you two.
Don't give me any trouble.
You got me?
Coming?
Coming!
Back in your cells!
what medicine were you selling?
What,
is that important?
What's important is our next move.
Xiaotian, where is he?
Over there!
This is the next move.
Yang Jian!
Help me!
ErLang
Yang Jian!
From generals on Mount Plum
to itinerant bounty hunters
and then fugitives in Penglai -
Brothers,
following me
has left you worse and worse off.
But we're happy and free.
Free.
Free!
Xiaotian.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Young master, where to now?
The lamp's lid is in the pagoda.
The light comes from the lamp's lid.
No idea who found that lid
but they use it to guide the ships.
Must you drink so much?
The cosmos in a day
A lifetime in moments.
Drink is my only concern.
What else can one know?
Mo Liqing -
Long time no see.
I've been waiting.
Well met.
This must be Chenxiang.
Murderer and fugitive.
Mo Liqing -
Of course you know
The Fenixes will escape one day.
We Mo brothers dread the day
for chaos will erupt.
But the Fenixes
cannot be suppressed forever.
This Mount Hua
may look on the verge of collapse
but we risked life and limb for this.
If it can hold on another day
it should hold on another day.
Mo Liqing -
then this time
you're my enemy, not my friend.
So, we're doing this for real.
Duplication trick.
You can do split-body magic too.
So young
to have mastered Shen Gongbao's
God Body black magic.
If I can win,I'll do anything.
Silly kid, run!
Chenxiang!
Go!
Go!
My fellow disciple -
we meet again.
You're as elegant as ever.
Shen Gongbao.
Yang Jian.
It's been a long time.
I heard you fell on hard times.
Your Third Eye went blind.
Pity. That Yang Jian who split Mount Peach -
I like that Yang Jian.
Shen Gongbao - where's Chenxiang?
He ran off.
That's one heartless, ruthless kid.
Just like me at that age.
My true successor.
Do you know where he went?
That little secret of his.
Mt. Li,
Cross-Moon Pool.
These wounds -
who did that?
Life is short
And full of sorrow
Today I'm unhappy
Yet time
flows on.
Is this reliable?
It's taken care of.
Relax, I've done it before.
It's very safe.
But it's a little machine.
He can only send him over.
Tight-ass.
I wanna go too!
I forgot to say -
the trip can make you
a bit dizzy.
What?
Mortal realm, Chang'an!
This is Chang'an?
The Mortal Realm is at war.
You've come.
A new lamp,
lamp oil,
the old lampshade
The Precious Lotus lamp.
What's this?
Yang Jian -
Since you're here
don't hide.
Since you're here
don't hide.
Tell Chenxiang
the true use of the Precious Lotus Lamp.
How'd you get here?
Mount Hua's Lotus Peak
sits atop a nest of Fenixes.
As the Spirit of Great Fire
they have world-destroying powers.
If they break out, the cosmos splinters.
Goddess Nwa gave your mother the lamp
so she could keep watch on the peak.
But 12 years ago
the Fenixes grew restless.
The lamp couldn't seem to keep them down.
My master told me to help her.
But the Fenix Force was too strong.
The Precious Lamp broke.
At the last minute,
your mother leapt off
to try to hold them down herself.
Brother, look after my son!
Sister!
You must seal Lotus Peak.
Turning the axe, I drove it into the rock.
Finally the Fenixes were sealed in.
Your Third Eye
hasn't opened since.
That's why my mother is under Lotus Peak.
Not because she married a mortal.
Chenxiang!
My mother also married a mortal
and had me and your mom.
I was wounded and couldn't look after you.
So I took you to Golden Sunsets Cave.
But you never came to see me.
So I took you to Golden Sunsets Cave.
But you never came to see me.
You're my uncle.
My master said until you grew up, I couldn't.
Is he telling the truth Granny Wanluo?
Granny Wanluo?
Yes,
it's true.
Yang Jian -
Your mother, Yaoji, was my best friend.
I have another name -
Goddess of Mount Wu.
There's more to this matter as well.
Come with me.
Mount Hua.
That's Lotus Peak.
Those rays of light
are the agitation of the Fenixe
confined under the mountain.
My mother is trapped underneath.
At this beacon tower on Mount Li
King You amused his concubine
and court with false alarms.
As a result
he perished with his kingdom.
It's always the woman's fault.
Yang Jian -
Know why the lamp suppresses the Fenixes?
It's for Gold Sunset Cave
your Master tapped the Fenix Force
that keeps the cave standing.
When they get free
Gold Sunset Cave will collapse.
The suppression of the Fenixes
keeps Gold Sunset Cave standing.
That's really why your Master told you to suppress them.
My Master only told me
that this would save lives
and prevent Cosmic Catastrophe.
He said nothing about the cave.
He thought only of himself.
Cycles rule heaven and earth.
The Fenixes will fly again.
Can you stop that?
Yang Jian
do you remember when
you broke open Peach Mountain?
I split Mount Peach...
The last Cosmic Catastrophe.
Your Master only cared about his own interests.
Your Master tricked you.
We'll break open Mount Hua
and rescue Yang Chan.
Miss Wanluo, assuming that's all true
but for something this big -
I want to take you to see my Master
and confront him face to face.
Chenxiang, you'll come too
Who wants to go with you?
You're like the others from the mountain.
If you don't go, I'll go myself.
Chenxiang!
With things as they are
you still want to talk to your Master?
Goddess of Mount Wu -
I fear that if Chenxiang stays with you
he'll share the fate of Shen Gongbao.
How can you say that?
At Symphonia Palace in Yingzhou
I was enchanted into a dream
where Mother told me to split the mountain.
Jian -
split the mountain!
But it wasn't my mother.
It was you.
The Goddess of Mount Wu.
Confusing people through dreams
is what you do.
Chenxiang's master
was definitely not killed by him.
Nor by Shen Gongbao.
The wounds on his body
resembled a silken web.
When I found Shen Gongbao
he was still alive.
A powerful magic weapon dealt the first blow,
but what really killed him
was the wound from a silken web.
Just now
you flung out your web in a fury.
That silken web
is your special magic weapon.
Chenxiang's master
and Shen Gongbao
were murdered by you.
You?
Yang Jian -
you're smart.
why did you have to kill them?
If your master didn't die
you'd never leave Golden Sunset Cave.
Shen Gongbao, a real shame.
We agreed to work together.
I never thought he'd get hurt so badly.
Death was oreferable.
I never thought he'd get hurt so badly.
Death was oreferable.
I just helped him along.
Why did you do that?
Chenxiang, these things I did
were all to split the mountain
and release your mother.
were all to split the mountain
and release your mother.
Different from you.
But whatever the case, you shouldn't kill them.
Stop!
My...
Give it back.
It was too hot.
I removed it for you.
It's always been on my wrist.
No one could get it off.
How did you do it?
Maybe
it's because I'm your blood uncle.
Your mother wove it from her own hair.
Before she made the leap
she told me to give it to you.
This rope of hair is a wick
for lighting the Precious Lotus Lamp.
I really miss my mother.
Let's go to Mount Hua
and get to the bottom of all this.
Attacks come low and high
Nine-Turns Kungfu!
Attacks come low and high
Attacks come low and high
Untruths so hard to defy
People's thoughts dark as night
Yet in me the moon shines bright.
So even if on this path I die
I'll break through to clear sky.
Such is joy!
Bring on your armies, I'm not afraid.
Let them say
I'm just a gadfly -
Amidst the fear and hatred
I look back.
You are there for me.
Your home.
This is my home?
Mother.
Let's go.
These all belong to the Order of the Gods.
How'd I never notice it before?
There really is an Order on Mount Hua.
That's my mountain-splitting axe.
It's stuck in the peak you split.
It hasn't sealed it off completely.
The Fenix Force spilling out -
You've seen it too.
Yang Jian
run!
The Celestial Rope.
Chenxiang, run!
Uncle!
Finally, got you, you traitor!
This Yin-Yang Scroll is such a treasure.
It makes manifest your desires.
And resolves your anxieties.
Only the Scroll can trap Yang Jian.
Jian!
Jian!
Mother!
Jian!
Jian!
Split the mountain.
Jian!
Mother!
Jian,
Mother!
the mountain is open,
I should go.
Why?
It's fated.
The destiny of the women in our family
is to hold down the mountain
and secure peace in the world.
Mother.
Jian.
You mustn't cry.
See?
These sparks -
they're all me.
All things live forever.
I live in all things of this world.
No!
If you miss me
Look at the lamps burning in every window
If you miss me
Look at the lamps burning in every window
and you'll see me there.
Mother!
Mother!
I've already split Mount Peach!
Mother!
I've already split Mount Peach!
Mother!
Where's my mother?
Secure Mount Hua.
Secure Mount Hua.
Peace will prevail under heaven.
Secure Mount Hua.
Peace will prevail under heaven.
Brother, look after my son.
Sister!
Brother, look after my son.
Your Third Eye is still closed?
Yes.
12 years ago,
You sealed Lotus Peak.
But
the disasters rolled on.
Maybe I was wrong.
Catastrophe will return to the world.
Master.
To restore righteousness.
Shouldn't I try to repair the Heavens?
Master -
This is the Yin-Yang Scroll.
It's you who trapped me inside it.
My excellent disciple.
You can even slow down the Scroll's magic.
I remember -
I remember the Yin-Yang Scroll.
I remember Yin Hong's master
turning him to ashes inside the Scroll.
Master - what crime did I commit?
Yang Jian -
I can't let Chenxiang split Mount Hua.
So this was all for Gold Sunset Cave.
You know
Gold Sunset Cave mustn't fall.
I do all I can to preserve Gold Sunset Cave.
So -
Yang Chan is trapped under Mount Hua -
because it's her fate.
Jian -
you didn't know
that in your family
mother and son
are linked by fate to the cyclical crises.
To preserve the peace
the mothers hold down the mountains.
As for the sons,
to save their mothers
they try to split the mountains.
You aren't aware
if you split the mountain
The Fenixes fly, the cave collapses.
bringing catastrophe and chaos.
Only after that,
can peace return under Heaven.
Jian
Jian
Last time, you split the mountain.
This time, it's Chenxiang's turn.
Master -
When I was an orphan
you raised me, made me your disciple,
and taught me all kinds of magic.
You used me so that one day
I'd be able to split Mount Peach
Meanwhile, you kept Chenxiang
ignorant of his superpowers, origins, everything
so he'd be unable to split Mount Hua.
That's right.
Jian -
Like your mother
I only want to preserve the peace.
While the Fenixes remain under the mountain
Gold Sunset Cave will remain.
Your Gold Sunset Cave is doomed.
Suppress Fenixes and their force grows.
They will break out in the end.
Protecting Gold Sunset Cave,
is all about protecting yourself.
Gold Sunset Cave is our life's work.
Its glory belongs to all.
Harm to it is harm to all.
Say I'm wrong
then I'll be wrong to the end.
Master
So I was only ever a pawn in your game.
Jian -
For the sake of my Gold Sunset Cave
I have to let you all
be turned to ash by the Scroll.
The Celestial Rope and Yin-Yang Scroll
are magic weapons of the older masters.
We all want the same thing,
to prevent another outbreak of chaos.
Chenxiang
Chenxiang
Protect yourself with the Lamp!
The Precious Lotus Lamp!
Your Nine-Turns Kungfu
has improved.
Your Nine-Turns Kungfu
has improved.
Fenix Force is so fierce
can tear the Yin-Yang Scroll.
Fenix Force is so fierce
can tear the Yin-Yang Scroll.
Uncle!
He used the Fenix Force
to force open his Third Eye.
Master -
You can't hold on to your mistakes.
Great I grow!
This is bad.
Hurry, stop him.
Master -
What my mother wanted to protect
wasn't your Gold Sunset Cave.
but to preserve life on earth.
Uncle!
Lotus Peak can't hold,
if this continues,
everything will fall apart.
if this continues,
everything will fall apart.
Chen Xiang -
your mother and I wanted to preserve peace
not the Gold Sunset Cave.
Split open the mountain.
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Son!
Mother.
Son -
you're all grown up.
Mother!
Mother!
Why?
Son.
Brother.
I still need you to look after him.
Mother -
where are you going?
The Fenixes and I
will look after the world,
and you.
Mother -
don't go!
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Why?
Why?
Your mother is already one with the Fenixes.
The mountain has split.
The Fenixes have flown
and she has followed them.
So long as you're here
and there's life on earth
she'll be back.
As a boy I went to the woods
To hear the wind in the trees
Standing there, I'd sing to you
The wind was your smile
As a boy I sat by the stream
To watch the wind ripple the grass
Running, I'd sing to you
Your breath in the wind
All my memories
Suddenly return to me
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
It's me embracing the wind
It's me embracing you
I still want to hear the wind's voice
Halalala...
So lovely and clear
Yesterday's memories feel like today
The wind on my heartstrings plays
Hidden in the wind, I talk to you
The wind is me gazing your way
My sole wish, never forgotten
Is to wait for the rippling wind
To scatter my words to you
The wind is your answer
It's me embracing the wind
It's me embracing you
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
Those sparks that fill the sky
Are your smiling face
I still want to hear your laugh
So lovely and clear
The warm breeze enfolds me
In your embrace
I yearn to hear your song
Hualalala...
I yearn to hear your song
Hualalala...
The rustling wind so lovely
The Monkey King came out of Waterbead Cave,
looked up - and who did he see?
A most handsome youth!
None other than the Jade Emperor's nephew -
Erlang, who split Mount Peach and overpowered the Fenixes!
Yang Jian!
Yang Jian... what about him?
Wow, that Erlang was really something!
You couldn't beat him?
That's just a story.
Listen, what really happened
was this...
I was banished to far-off Changsha.
My gaze strains westward towards Chang'an and home
I play my melancholy flute in the Yellow Crane tower
I fear this big world
Has no place for me
I fear that the lights
Will be blown out by the wind
What can stop me from living easy
Let them gossip, let them talk
Fame and fortune are grains of sand
Why worry if they flee
I have my joys and sorrows
Others can think what they like
My heart is as big as the sky
Life is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The lamps burn brightly
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Seasons pass in an instant
Chasing sunsets, the world my home
In the Three Realms, my legend lies
Full of righteousness
I have my joys and sorrows
Full of righteousness
I have my joys and sorrows
Others can think what they like
My heart is as big as the sky.
The world is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The world is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The lamps burn brightly
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
A long long time ago
there was chaos in heaven and on earth.
Life was precarious.
Battles raged, there was slaughter.
Finally, the Shang and Zhou fought for supremacy
and humans and gods united
to get through the catastrophe.
The Order of the Gods was set.
Each one in its place.
Each carved a home in rock.
The world returned to peace.
That was our last bag of Cosmic Gas.
Erlang, without more jobs
we won't be going anywhere.
Listen, Boss -
Without work
we can't buy gas.
Yao -
In the past, we all danced in the clouds.
But since the Catastrophe,
except for those with wings,
immortals and demons,
we've had to rely on flying boats.
That Catastrophe
When was that exactly?
Too many.
So true.
I even forgot how to fly.
It's like listening to fairy tales.
Job notice
for Penglai, Home of the Gods.
Finally, our luck's changing.
We're already in Penglai.
We have to beat other bounty hunters to it.
Only 20 strings of Three Realms cash?
The guy looks pretty ruthless.
Even the Penglai gods are poor.
If we don't work soon,
we won't eat.
Well, let's try our luck then.
It's that time of morning.
Red Bird Gate is open.
Carefree and harmonious
Penglai welcomes
all gods and spirits
with security and good fortune.
Be safe in place,
stay in your lane.
Want the Elixir of Life?
Show me the money.
Or get lost.
Not interested in fake meds.
If that's the case, get lost.
One immortal,
one demon.
Weird combo you got there.
When you're hard up,
any combo will do.
Better a dog than a hard-up god, right?
True.
My dog has an easier life than me.
See, it got its smell all over me.
Twenty strings of cash.
You looked like some kind of sherrif.
You're just a bounty hunter.
Ow, ow, ow.
Your head's still pretty hard.
Where are you going?
I'm after money, not your life.
Don't trip!
What the...
Funny time to run out of gas.
Want to catch me?
Excellent timing.
It's her nose.
You know how it is.
She caught your scent, we chased you up.
You're back!
Enough, enough.
What's this then?
An offence to public decency.
I like it.
You jealous?
Bro -
you're in it for the money, yeah?
Let me go.
I'll pay five times the reward.
100 strings of cash.
You little snake oil peddlar.
Who'd believe you?
It's true. Really.
It's buried by the bridge.
Only I know about it.
Boss,
sounds good.
Let's see -
I'll pose the question.
What's that?
I'm asking the cosmos -
do I release you or not?
How's that sound?
Twenty strings of cash.
Boss -
When you threw the harmonica -
was it heads up you let him go
or tails up you let him go?
You didn't say.
Enough.
Money!
Someone's asking for you.
We've got a customer.
Yes, and it's a pretty lady.
Really pretty.
Coming here to see me?
You're Erlang Mu?
Yes, the second-born son of Mu -
Mu Erlang, that's me.
I want to find someone.
We're bounty hunters.
We catch people, we don't look for them.
I want you to catch someone.
That fits the job description.
He stole a treasure. It was my sister's.
What was it?
I can't tell you.
Cool.
Me -
I think too much, my head hurts.
My head hurts. So don't tell me.
Have a cup.
My sister and I were always so close.
She disappeared after the upheaval 12 years ago.
All she left behind was that treasure.
It's a family heirloom.
Can you help me?
At your service, but it'll cost.
This is all I have. Take it.
Okay, I'll tell you.
It's the Lamp of Universal Contentment.
It contains all that other vessels cannot.
That's the treasure he stole.
He fled to Square Pot Fairy Island.
This person you seek -
he has a name, right?
Chenxiang.
Chenxiang.
What, have you heard of him?
It's an unusual name.
Take care!
I'm Wanluo. I'll wait in Yingzhou for news.
There's a story there.
Definitely.
Her way of dressing, this ship,
and those manners.
But why'd she come to us?
Our only drawcard is we're cheap.
Next 15 days only!
While stocks last.
Next 15 days only!
While stocks last.
Highest quality,
smoothest flying.
Number 'Yin'. Payment received. Three bags.
Collect it over there, sir.
Number 'Yin'. Three bags.
Good, you can go.
You're in my way, squirt.
No fighting!
You got a nerve!
No fighting! Stop it!
Who's making trouble? No fighting allowed.
Do it!
You're asking for trouble.
Get outta there!
Shut up and don't move.
Boss, Heaven's Army is coming.
Who raised the alarm?
Run!
Over there!
You guys, get them!
Get on the boat!
Start it up!
Wait for me.
You little jerk, you -
Halt!
Ready for take-off.
All systems go.
Next station - Square Pot.
Estimated time of arrival, 7:45 pm.
Please be securely seated.
Wishing you safe soaring.
Welcome, sir.
This way, please.
Beat it. No money, no play.
Here goes!
Place your bets.
Erlang.
Erlang, you're back.
Gao.
What can I do for you?
I need to ask you something.
These ears of mine -
not hearing so well these days.
Even deaf you'd still be Big Ears.
Well, I do owe you.
What do you want to know?
I'm looking for someone. Chenxiang.
Chenxiang?
Never heard of him.
I'll be off.
Hello gentlemen.
What a surprise.
Let me get a good look at you.
Don't be so rough.
Blind!
It's really blind!
"Mu Erlang,
bounty hunter."
I say, Mu-mu, no -
Brother Mu.
So your triple-tip double-blade sword
and silver-bullet slingshot -
all gone!
Everyone -
This is the legendary Yang Jian.
That's Erlang?
How'd he fall so low?
Exactly - How did you fall so low?
No problem. I'll tell them for you.
They say that 12 years ago
the Goddess Yang Chan
fell in love with a mortal,
breaking Heaven's laws.
fell in love with a mortal,
breaking Heaven's laws.
So Yang Jian trapped her under Mount Hua.
But she's his own sister.
Before she was trapped, Yang Chan fought back hard,
using Mt Hua's Precious Lotus Lamp
to blind his Third Eye
and destroy his magic powers.
Since then his superpowers have disappeared.
and destroy his magic powers.
Since then his superpowers have disappeared.
I ask you -
what kind of person
on account of some dumb laws
would trap his own sister under a mountain
wrecking a marriage and family.
Yang Jian -
Back then when you arrested us three
you were so high and mighty.
Today,
I'm going to give you a good beating.
Keep playing.
The Mo Bros?
Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai?
Yang Jian - I never imagined
it would be me saving you one day.
For 12 years, since Mount Hua
there's been no news of you.
And here you are, a bounty hunter.
I have to eat.
Just now, from over there
I heard you ask about someone.
There's a reward.
Don't go looking for him.
It's him we're after.
Do not get involved.
Otherwise -
Are you really threatening Yang Jian?
Yang Jian - you really aren't the old Erlang.
Thanks, gentlemen.
Come back here!
Move!
Just try and get away!
At last, I've got you. There's no escape.
Boss Hai, are these your new men?
You killed the others on that boat.
Hand it over.
What?
What you stole from the hold.
Who said?
Me.
I went and got Boss Hai.
Boss Hai - your new pet?
The most valuable thing on that boat
was the thing you stole.
Hand it over.
Or maybe I'll take an arm and a leg.
Blindy, stay out of it.
Excuse me.
Boss Hai - you have your men
I have mine.
Take this. Now, fight!
No, you got it wrong.
You got it wrong.
I'll kill you all today.
I don't even know him!
Do it!
Thank you for your help.
Later, I'll repay you in spades.
Did you have to be so violent?
If I'd fallen into their hands
I'd have been 10 times worse
What is this?
You actually gave me your treasure.
So they'd think you were on my side.
You didn't worry I'd keep it?
I'd kill you then.
You talk big.
Do you know who I am?
Who cares. I'd still kill you.
I'm Yang Jian, from Mount Plum.
Chenxiang.
How do you know my name?
So it's true.
Someone asked me to find you.
Yang Jian - you again?
And you, what's this about?
You actually -
Listen,
I just bumped into him.
Knifed to death. That's not Yang Jian.
Of course not.
The guy who ran off is your Chenxiang.
Really? What a coincidence.
A little thief.
Is he worth all that fuss?
You really don't know who he is?
He is from your Master's school.
You really don't know who he is?
He is from your Master's school.
A disciple of the younger generation.
Since you're already involved,
ask about him
from your Spiritual Master Yuding.
Good sir, that was amazing!
Please ask the Master
if he'd receive his disciple Yang Jian.
Elder Disciple Yang!
Elder Disciple, follow me!
Jian, you're here.
Your Third Eye is still closed?
Yes.
It's that bad.
If I try hard I can open it a crack.
But I only see bright flashing gold light.
Nothing else.
Hard to remedy.
Maybe something could force it open
but it might make the wound worse.
True.
You came here as a child.
I treated you like a son.
12 years ago,
you sealed Lotus Peak.
But the disasters rolled on.
The godly realm weakened by the day
and demons and monsters arose.
Maybe I was wrong.
Catastrophe will return to the world.
Master, you teach us:
"Do everything you can."
Yes.
Do everything you can
To restore the righteous order.
Shouldn't one try to heal the world?
I understand.
Master -
Down there, I met a boy.
They say he's your disciple.
He's called Chenxiang.
Chenxiang?!
He's your nephew. You brought him here.
You wouldn't know that.
When you brought him here
he was just a squalling infant.
You haven't seen him in years.
I called him Chenxiang, "Agarwood"
so he'd be as serene and steady as a tree.
Who'd have thought
my school
produced a murderous traitor.
Go have a look.
The Master sealed his corpse
until he can treat it.
Why would Chenxiang do that?
I saw it coming.
He's a born troublemaker.
An uneducable, sinful creature.
But because of your deeds at Lotus Peak
Master wasn't willing to expel him.
So he asked Head Disciple
to teach and raise him well.
Head Disciple had a bad temper.
What is this wound?
Together with Shen Gongbao
they ambushed and killed Head Disciple.
Shen Gongbao -
He's back?
Yes.
No idea how the kid joined up with him.
Shen Gongbao is a master of doubling.
And they took Head Disciple's new magic treasure.
What was that?
The Lamp of Universal Contentment.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Next step?
You have the Precious Lotus Lamp oil.
Next, of course, you need the lamp cover.
Bravo!
I ran into someone.
Who?
Yang Jian. An older disciple of my master.
Him!
He said he's looking for me.
Because of your master?
No.
He seems not to know about that.
Come.
Come.
Come.
You know him as an older disciple.
He's actually your uncle.
He... he's my uncle?
It's also him
who trapped your mother under Lotus Peak.
Yang Jian has natural powers.
He repelled the force of the Lotus Lamp
and it shattered into pieces.
If you put it back together
it'll be as new.
You can use its force
to crack open Lotus Peak
and save your mother.
Yang Jian,
your Master,
the lot of them,
they're a pack of wolves.
That group of guys,
they made me, Shen Gongbao General for Splitting the Waters
and stuck me in a blue hole in the East Sea.
They talk benevolence and morality
but they're such hypocrites.
So I grit my teeth and put up with it.
So many years have passed.
The chance for revenge
is mine at last.
Why is Yang Jian after me?
The Precious Lotus Lamp of course.
That lamp -
only your mother's flesh and blood can activate it.
You.
They also stole Head Disciple's new magic weapon.
The Lamp of Universal Contentment.
He stole a treasure. It was my sister's.
It's the Lamp of Universal Contentment.
Wanluo will wait in Yingzhou for news.
It's starting!
Cosmic Gas really lets people fly.
It's marvellous.
Her modest beauty charms me
But my trembling heart is sad
For there is no go-between here for us
So I offer my jade belt as a pledge
To this refined and learned lady
She gives me a garnet in return
And points me to the river
But I hesitate, unable to go
Strings and drums, music with no player.
Come, bring my tea.
Bring my tea.
Erlang, coming in like that
you gave me a fright.
My apologies.
I was lost in thought
about your beautiful performance
and forget myself.It was rude of me.
You liked my song?
The ethereal sound
still lingers in the air.
Cao Zhi's "Goddess of the Luo River"
has such sorrowful lyrics.
Such inexpressible pain
and anguish -
it's so melancholic.
Why are you staring, Erlang?
I don't know.
The last time I saw you
I felt like I'd met you before.
But I had no idea where.
Maybe it was in your dreams.
Maybe...
I
am the woman of your dreams.
Maybe.
I found Chenxiang.
The little thief.
Where is he?
He got away again.
Chenxiang was also at my school.
A younger generation.
Mu Erlang, you -
My real name is Yang Jian.
You're Yang Jian!
That Lamp of Universal Contentment
belonged to Chenxiang's master.
So, I'd like to ask
why you lied,
saying it was your sister's.
Yang Jian -
There are some things
it's better not to know.
Jian
Mother,
Mother!
Jian
Mother,
mother
Jian,
split open the mountain.
Don't go.
Split open the mountain.
Mother
Mother
Not a bad defensive move.
Bit over the top, though.
This...
You're after the Lotus Lamp?
What's it to you?
I think you already know.
I'm your uncle.
It's true, I took you to Golden Sunset Cave.
You'd only just been born.
You didn't even have a name.
You were only -
only a tiny little thing.
That Head Disciple.
I knew he had a nasty temper.
I don't know why Master put you in his care.
Was it hard for you there?
It was fantastic.
Except he didn't teach me anything.
He beat me every day
and starved me.
Called me a motherless, fatherless bastard.
I'm so sorry. I'd no idea.
But even so
you didn't have to kill him.
And you didn't have to bury my mother under Lotus Peak.
Let me go.
Yang Jian - well done!
Chenxiang, you killed your teacher.
We're arresting you on Heaven's orders.
You -
We're arresting you on Heaven's orders.
You -
Give yourself up.
Yang Jian, this time we caught you -
you let him go.
We have to take you in.
Don't trouble yourselves.
Once I'm done with this job
I'll come to you and surrender.
Yang Jian, you did wrong.
Release the fiery winds!
Heavenly strings, bind him!
So Number Four is here too.
That was pretty sneaky.
It's not really your style.
During the Pantheonic War
you defeated the four of us
using pretty sneaky methods too, right?
I suppose.
Yang Jian, I told them
that you weren't involved.
But -
Just admit your guilt.
If you run into trouble
I'll support you at the Celestial Court.
But what did I do?
What did you do?
You conspired with Chenxiang
in murder and harm to your school.
Me?
No, this is -
Newbie, cut the racket.
What's your problem?
Newbie, cut the racket.
What's your problem?
First time in the clink?
Yang Jian?
Well if it isn't Yang Jian.
Who are you?
Me?
You, you, you
The gourd, the Elixir of Life.
The tall guy, the tall guy next to me -
You two - DUANG! Then DONGDONGDONG
I was like DOODOODOO
You two - DUANG! Then DONGDONGDONG
I was like DOODOODOO
You came from behind and SHUA
Then you -
Twenty strings of cash.
You might be Yang Jian
but you're a nobody to me.
Grease my palm or cop my beating.
Take it easy, bro.
Watch out.
Cut the noise.
Stop yelling.
Yang Jian, although I caught you -
you caught me.
But no biggie, no vengeance.
I'm a generous guy.
You don't know -
If you ignore the screws like that
they'll punish you bad next time.
You listening?
A fight!
It's on!
This will be fun.
Maybe it's a breakout?
Yang Jian, won't you even look?
Do you think they've come for you?
Behave you two.
Don't give me any trouble.
You got me?
Coming?
Coming!
Back in your cells!
what medicine were you selling?
What,
is that important?
What's important is our next move.
Xiaotian, where is he?
Over there!
This is the next move.
Yang Jian!
Help me!
ErLang
Yang Jian!
From generals on Mount Plum
to itinerant bounty hunters
and then fugitives in Penglai -
Brothers,
following me
has left you worse and worse off.
But we're happy and free.
Free.
Free!
Xiaotian.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Young master, where to now?
The lamp's lid is in the pagoda.
The light comes from the lamp's lid.
No idea who found that lid
but they use it to guide the ships.
Must you drink so much?
The cosmos in a day
A lifetime in moments.
Drink is my only concern.
What else can one know?
Mo Liqing -
Long time no see.
I've been waiting.
Well met.
This must be Chenxiang.
Murderer and fugitive.
Mo Liqing -
Of course you know
The Fenixes will escape one day.
We Mo brothers dread the day
for chaos will erupt.
But the Fenixes
cannot be suppressed forever.
This Mount Hua
may look on the verge of collapse
but we risked life and limb for this.
If it can hold on another day
it should hold on another day.
Mo Liqing -
then this time
you're my enemy, not my friend.
So, we're doing this for real.
Duplication trick.
You can do split-body magic too.
So young
to have mastered Shen Gongbao's
God Body black magic.
If I can win,I'll do anything.
Silly kid, run!
Chenxiang!
Go!
Go!
My fellow disciple -
we meet again.
You're as elegant as ever.
Shen Gongbao.
Yang Jian.
It's been a long time.
I heard you fell on hard times.
Your Third Eye went blind.
Pity. That Yang Jian who split Mount Peach -
I like that Yang Jian.
Shen Gongbao - where's Chenxiang?
He ran off.
That's one heartless, ruthless kid.
Just like me at that age.
My true successor.
Do you know where he went?
That little secret of his.
Mt. Li,
Cross-Moon Pool.
These wounds -
who did that?
Life is short
And full of sorrow
Today I'm unhappy
Yet time
flows on.
Is this reliable?
It's taken care of.
Relax, I've done it before.
It's very safe.
But it's a little machine.
He can only send him over.
Tight-ass.
I wanna go too!
I forgot to say -
the trip can make you
a bit dizzy.
What?
Mortal realm, Chang'an!
This is Chang'an?
The Mortal Realm is at war.
You've come.
A new lamp,
lamp oil,
the old lampshade
The Precious Lotus lamp.
What's this?
Yang Jian -
Since you're here
don't hide.
Since you're here
don't hide.
Tell Chenxiang
the true use of the Precious Lotus Lamp.
How'd you get here?
Mount Hua's Lotus Peak
sits atop a nest of Fenixes.
As the Spirit of Great Fire
they have world-destroying powers.
If they break out, the cosmos splinters.
Goddess Nwa gave your mother the lamp
so she could keep watch on the peak.
But 12 years ago
the Fenixes grew restless.
The lamp couldn't seem to keep them down.
My master told me to help her.
But the Fenix Force was too strong.
The Precious Lamp broke.
At the last minute,
your mother leapt off
to try to hold them down herself.
Brother, look after my son!
Sister!
You must seal Lotus Peak.
Turning the axe, I drove it into the rock.
Finally the Fenixes were sealed in.
Your Third Eye
hasn't opened since.
That's why my mother is under Lotus Peak.
Not because she married a mortal.
Chenxiang!
My mother also married a mortal
and had me and your mom.
I was wounded and couldn't look after you.
So I took you to Golden Sunsets Cave.
But you never came to see me.
So I took you to Golden Sunsets Cave.
But you never came to see me.
You're my uncle.
My master said until you grew up, I couldn't.
Is he telling the truth Granny Wanluo?
Granny Wanluo?
Yes,
it's true.
Yang Jian -
Your mother, Yaoji, was my best friend.
I have another name -
Goddess of Mount Wu.
There's more to this matter as well.
Come with me.
Mount Hua.
That's Lotus Peak.
Those rays of light
are the agitation of the Fenixe
confined under the mountain.
My mother is trapped underneath.
At this beacon tower on Mount Li
King You amused his concubine
and court with false alarms.
As a result
he perished with his kingdom.
It's always the woman's fault.
Yang Jian -
Know why the lamp suppresses the Fenixes?
It's for Gold Sunset Cave
your Master tapped the Fenix Force
that keeps the cave standing.
When they get free
Gold Sunset Cave will collapse.
The suppression of the Fenixes
keeps Gold Sunset Cave standing.
That's really why your Master told you to suppress them.
My Master only told me
that this would save lives
and prevent Cosmic Catastrophe.
He said nothing about the cave.
He thought only of himself.
Cycles rule heaven and earth.
The Fenixes will fly again.
Can you stop that?
Yang Jian
do you remember when
you broke open Peach Mountain?
I split Mount Peach...
The last Cosmic Catastrophe.
Your Master only cared about his own interests.
Your Master tricked you.
We'll break open Mount Hua
and rescue Yang Chan.
Miss Wanluo, assuming that's all true
but for something this big -
I want to take you to see my Master
and confront him face to face.
Chenxiang, you'll come too
Who wants to go with you?
You're like the others from the mountain.
If you don't go, I'll go myself.
Chenxiang!
With things as they are
you still want to talk to your Master?
Goddess of Mount Wu -
I fear that if Chenxiang stays with you
he'll share the fate of Shen Gongbao.
How can you say that?
At Symphonia Palace in Yingzhou
I was enchanted into a dream
where Mother told me to split the mountain.
Jian -
split the mountain!
But it wasn't my mother.
It was you.
The Goddess of Mount Wu.
Confusing people through dreams
is what you do.
Chenxiang's master
was definitely not killed by him.
Nor by Shen Gongbao.
The wounds on his body
resembled a silken web.
When I found Shen Gongbao
he was still alive.
A powerful magic weapon dealt the first blow,
but what really killed him
was the wound from a silken web.
Just now
you flung out your web in a fury.
That silken web
is your special magic weapon.
Chenxiang's master
and Shen Gongbao
were murdered by you.
You?
Yang Jian -
you're smart.
why did you have to kill them?
If your master didn't die
you'd never leave Golden Sunset Cave.
Shen Gongbao, a real shame.
We agreed to work together.
I never thought he'd get hurt so badly.
Death was oreferable.
I never thought he'd get hurt so badly.
Death was oreferable.
I just helped him along.
Why did you do that?
Chenxiang, these things I did
were all to split the mountain
and release your mother.
were all to split the mountain
and release your mother.
Different from you.
But whatever the case, you shouldn't kill them.
Stop!
My...
Give it back.
It was too hot.
I removed it for you.
It's always been on my wrist.
No one could get it off.
How did you do it?
Maybe
it's because I'm your blood uncle.
Your mother wove it from her own hair.
Before she made the leap
she told me to give it to you.
This rope of hair is a wick
for lighting the Precious Lotus Lamp.
I really miss my mother.
Let's go to Mount Hua
and get to the bottom of all this.
Attacks come low and high
Nine-Turns Kungfu!
Attacks come low and high
Attacks come low and high
Untruths so hard to defy
People's thoughts dark as night
Yet in me the moon shines bright.
So even if on this path I die
I'll break through to clear sky.
Such is joy!
Bring on your armies, I'm not afraid.
Let them say
I'm just a gadfly -
Amidst the fear and hatred
I look back.
You are there for me.
Your home.
This is my home?
Mother.
Let's go.
These all belong to the Order of the Gods.
How'd I never notice it before?
There really is an Order on Mount Hua.
That's my mountain-splitting axe.
It's stuck in the peak you split.
It hasn't sealed it off completely.
The Fenix Force spilling out -
You've seen it too.
Yang Jian
run!
The Celestial Rope.
Chenxiang, run!
Uncle!
Finally, got you, you traitor!
This Yin-Yang Scroll is such a treasure.
It makes manifest your desires.
And resolves your anxieties.
Only the Scroll can trap Yang Jian.
Jian!
Jian!
Mother!
Jian!
Jian!
Split the mountain.
Jian!
Mother!
Jian,
Mother!
the mountain is open,
I should go.
Why?
It's fated.
The destiny of the women in our family
is to hold down the mountain
and secure peace in the world.
Mother.
Jian.
You mustn't cry.
See?
These sparks -
they're all me.
All things live forever.
I live in all things of this world.
No!
If you miss me
Look at the lamps burning in every window
If you miss me
Look at the lamps burning in every window
and you'll see me there.
Mother!
Mother!
I've already split Mount Peach!
Mother!
I've already split Mount Peach!
Mother!
Where's my mother?
Secure Mount Hua.
Secure Mount Hua.
Peace will prevail under heaven.
Secure Mount Hua.
Peace will prevail under heaven.
Brother, look after my son.
Sister!
Brother, look after my son.
Your Third Eye is still closed?
Yes.
12 years ago,
You sealed Lotus Peak.
But
the disasters rolled on.
Maybe I was wrong.
Catastrophe will return to the world.
Master.
To restore righteousness.
Shouldn't I try to repair the Heavens?
Master -
This is the Yin-Yang Scroll.
It's you who trapped me inside it.
My excellent disciple.
You can even slow down the Scroll's magic.
I remember -
I remember the Yin-Yang Scroll.
I remember Yin Hong's master
turning him to ashes inside the Scroll.
Master - what crime did I commit?
Yang Jian -
I can't let Chenxiang split Mount Hua.
So this was all for Gold Sunset Cave.
You know
Gold Sunset Cave mustn't fall.
I do all I can to preserve Gold Sunset Cave.
So -
Yang Chan is trapped under Mount Hua -
because it's her fate.
Jian -
you didn't know
that in your family
mother and son
are linked by fate to the cyclical crises.
To preserve the peace
the mothers hold down the mountains.
As for the sons,
to save their mothers
they try to split the mountains.
You aren't aware
if you split the mountain
The Fenixes fly, the cave collapses.
bringing catastrophe and chaos.
Only after that,
can peace return under Heaven.
Jian
Jian
Last time, you split the mountain.
This time, it's Chenxiang's turn.
Master -
When I was an orphan
you raised me, made me your disciple,
and taught me all kinds of magic.
You used me so that one day
I'd be able to split Mount Peach
Meanwhile, you kept Chenxiang
ignorant of his superpowers, origins, everything
so he'd be unable to split Mount Hua.
That's right.
Jian -
Like your mother
I only want to preserve the peace.
While the Fenixes remain under the mountain
Gold Sunset Cave will remain.
Your Gold Sunset Cave is doomed.
Suppress Fenixes and their force grows.
They will break out in the end.
Protecting Gold Sunset Cave,
is all about protecting yourself.
Gold Sunset Cave is our life's work.
Its glory belongs to all.
Harm to it is harm to all.
Say I'm wrong
then I'll be wrong to the end.
Master
So I was only ever a pawn in your game.
Jian -
For the sake of my Gold Sunset Cave
I have to let you all
be turned to ash by the Scroll.
The Celestial Rope and Yin-Yang Scroll
are magic weapons of the older masters.
We all want the same thing,
to prevent another outbreak of chaos.
Chenxiang
Chenxiang
Protect yourself with the Lamp!
The Precious Lotus Lamp!
Your Nine-Turns Kungfu
has improved.
Your Nine-Turns Kungfu
has improved.
Fenix Force is so fierce
can tear the Yin-Yang Scroll.
Fenix Force is so fierce
can tear the Yin-Yang Scroll.
Uncle!
He used the Fenix Force
to force open his Third Eye.
Master -
You can't hold on to your mistakes.
Great I grow!
This is bad.
Hurry, stop him.
Master -
What my mother wanted to protect
wasn't your Gold Sunset Cave.
but to preserve life on earth.
Uncle!
Lotus Peak can't hold,
if this continues,
everything will fall apart.
if this continues,
everything will fall apart.
Chen Xiang -
your mother and I wanted to preserve peace
not the Gold Sunset Cave.
Split open the mountain.
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Son!
Mother.
Son -
you're all grown up.
Mother!
Mother!
Why?
Son.
Brother.
I still need you to look after him.
Mother -
where are you going?
The Fenixes and I
will look after the world,
and you.
Mother -
don't go!
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Why?
Why?
Your mother is already one with the Fenixes.
The mountain has split.
The Fenixes have flown
and she has followed them.
So long as you're here
and there's life on earth
she'll be back.
As a boy I went to the woods
To hear the wind in the trees
Standing there, I'd sing to you
The wind was your smile
As a boy I sat by the stream
To watch the wind ripple the grass
Running, I'd sing to you
Your breath in the wind
All my memories
Suddenly return to me
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
It's me embracing the wind
It's me embracing you
I still want to hear the wind's voice
Halalala...
So lovely and clear
Yesterday's memories feel like today
The wind on my heartstrings plays
Hidden in the wind, I talk to you
The wind is me gazing your way
My sole wish, never forgotten
Is to wait for the rippling wind
To scatter my words to you
The wind is your answer
It's me embracing the wind
It's me embracing you
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
The rustling wind
So warm and familiar
Those sparks that fill the sky
Are your smiling face
I still want to hear your laugh
So lovely and clear
The warm breeze enfolds me
In your embrace
I yearn to hear your song
Hualalala...
I yearn to hear your song
Hualalala...
The rustling wind so lovely
The Monkey King came out of Waterbead Cave,
looked up - and who did he see?
A most handsome youth!
None other than the Jade Emperor's nephew -
Erlang, who split Mount Peach and overpowered the Fenixes!
Yang Jian!
Yang Jian... what about him?
Wow, that Erlang was really something!
You couldn't beat him?
That's just a story.
Listen, what really happened
was this...
I was banished to far-off Changsha.
My gaze strains westward towards Chang'an and home
I play my melancholy flute in the Yellow Crane tower
I fear this big world
Has no place for me
I fear that the lights
Will be blown out by the wind
What can stop me from living easy
Let them gossip, let them talk
Fame and fortune are grains of sand
Why worry if they flee
I have my joys and sorrows
Others can think what they like
My heart is as big as the sky
Life is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The lamps burn brightly
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Seasons pass in an instant
Chasing sunsets, the world my home
In the Three Realms, my legend lies
Full of righteousness
I have my joys and sorrows
Full of righteousness
I have my joys and sorrows
Others can think what they like
My heart is as big as the sky.
The world is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The world is full of surprises
My hope, for peace
The lamps burn brightly
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
Protect the simple things in life
Courage when darkness closes in
Disperse the cold
Light up the night
Protect every romantic notion
Every face, every connection
Let troubles come
I'll bravely let fly my dreams
