Zhui ying (Tracing Shadow) (2009) Movie Script
I've lost
You are the
Supreme Master of Martial Arts now
I shall retreat to the midlands
and never fight again
I shall retreat to the midlands
and never fight again
Changgong!
(The Imperial City)
(Tai Bai Restaurant)
Come on...
Unexpected that we could meet again.
Come to upstairs, come on...
Come on...
I'll beat you.
Stop!
This umbrella is too expensive.
Forget it if you don't want to buy.
It's you?
Let's go.
I've invited you here to discuss
Emperor Ming's hidden treasure
The map is hidden inside
The Imperial Palace
Treasure map? What is the plan?
The Autumn Festival
is coming in three days
We shall make our move
on the night of the full moon
The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded
How will we get in?
Heavily guarded, you say?
The Emperor visits Lady Liu
on the fifteenth of each month
Other than a bunch of useless eunuchs
no one dares to go near The Imperial Palace
Chu can show off his lock-picking techniques
I will be done even before The Emperor
has taken off his Royal Pants!
I will be done even before The Emperor
has taken off his Royal Pants!
How do we get the map outside of the city?
That is where I come in
I have been escorting convoy
across the country for years
I have been escorting convoy
across the country for years
I know the best route
to exit The Imperial City
Fantastic, it is done then
In three days, on the fifteenth of this month
let us make a toast to the full moon
Cheers!
Go away!
I lost control.
Go away, old lady!
The horse is coming, go away!
Who is this piece of crap
interrupting my party?
You are completely out of tune!
I'm here for fun!
Calm down, just ignore them
Sir, you are really
disrupting our performance
Can you please stop
and let us continue on our own?
We are performing, too!
I just want to be able to
perform a sonata with her
May I?
Isn't that the Supreme Master of
Martial Arts... Changgong?
Isn't that the Supreme Master of
Martial Arts... Changgong?
What's he doing here in The Imperial City?
Supreme Master my foot!
I heard he was defeated
by Na-Lan of Manchuria
Probably came here to hide his shame
Hide his shame in a whorehouse?
Doesn't quite match up the
reputation of a Master!
He might as well be digging his own grave
No point in arguing with these idiots
Let's get out of here
(Tai Bai Restaurant)
So... your place or mine?
What's that you said?
To finish our sonata...
How about...
We meet in three days, on the night
of the Autumn Festival
We meet in three days, on the night
of the Autumn Festival
We shall complete our
sonata under the full moon
What do you think?
Sounds good
On the night of the full moon
we shall meet at the highest
point of The Imperial City
we shall meet at the highest
point of The Imperial City
That was fast!
Shush, someone's been here already
Who?
A woman?
The treasure map!
Go after her!
Assassins!
Protect The Emperor!
Quick...
My nose!
You stood me up, why?
Technically, you didn't forget
our date under the moon
because you did show up
Why?
Is our meeting all just a part of your plan?
Is our meeting all just a part of your plan?
It is hard to find someone
who we can be in tune with
It is hard to find someone
who we can be in tune with
Where's the treasure map?
Hand it over!
Otherwise
I will have to take it from you
Help me...
Help me...
Is this the treasure map?
The treasure is hidden near this town!
Forget it...
I'm done with this
You two can go find this treasure
Men die in seek of wealth and illusions
Totally not worth it...
I want to go home!
This drawing changes...
What an old rundown temple
I should tear it down
renovate it into a few shops and earn rent
"5 years later"
We're ready to order!
What you looking at?
Make your order!
Shark's fin soup
Great...
Stir-fried frog
Good...
That's it? Coming right up
Don't keep us waiting too long
Check out this chick
She's steaming hot...
That was quick!
Enjoy!
Young lady.
What's wrong with you?
Hey honey...
where's the shark's fin
and stir-fried frog we ordered?
Yeah!
This is what you ordered!
That's just fish and
pork with glass noodles!
Darn, the fish isn't even cooked!
What are you playing at?
Father! There's trouble out here again!
Good day, gentlemen
What's wrong?
Didn't you explain to them?
My apologies, please allow me to
introduce these dishes to you
This is Genuine Sushi
from the Ryukyu Islands
It goes great with chili pepper
And this, Braised Pork with
Vermicelli from the Northeast
Smells good, doesn't it?
Ginger...
Exactly!
The aroma of ginger
It's specially prepared by my father
Think about it
Pork, vermicelli, and fish
You've got all the nutrition you need!
And along with ginger
Here, smell again
It's absolutely brilliant!
Correct? Agree?
No!
That's not the point,
this is not what I ordered
You shouldn't confuse what's on
the menu with actual dishes that is served
You shouldn't confuse what's on
the menu with actual dishes that is served
More importantly,
consider this for a minute
whatever it is that you eat
what happens after that?
It all comes out the other end, right?
What's the difference whether it's
shark's fin or glass noodles?
Let's not fuss with such stupid formalities
Just enjoy the food
Please enjoy!
Go ahead, eat...
How dare you screw with me!
Either you eat the food
Or you simply leave
Let's split!
Hey, pay first!
Careful!
Praise the Buddha!
My name is Jet
Welcome to the "One Fund" Shop
Everything here in the shop
are being sold for charity

The money raised goes to help

Here, check out this life buoy
Life buoy?
It helps you float on water
It can save you from drowning
Dude, I travel through the Silk Road
There's nothing but the desert and sand
Life is unpredictable
You never know where the wind will blow
A tsunami might
take place in the desert, too!
You should buy one, just in case
No...
Please sir
Buy a flag then, it's for charity!
Darn with your flag!
Life is unpredictable!
I ran into a tsunami once on the beach!
I was talking about the desert!
You never know, hey both got sand, right?
Darn with your sand!
Life is unpredictable...
Life is unpredictable...
(Tailor Shop)
What in the world is this?
I wanted a down jacket!
This is Jackie Tang's Garment
Tang style?
It's the Ming Dynasty now
who still wears something
from the Tang Dynasty?
No, Jackie Tang is a
whole different style of its own
You see these four pockets?
You can put anything
inside them, for example
you can put candy inside for your grandson
When you're holding him,
he could easily find the candies
Brilliant and convenient, don't you agree?
I see, and what's this lizard
looking thing doing here?
It's a Dragon!
The Dragon represents our Chinese heritage
Jackie Tang's Garment
is tailor-made for all of us!
What a lunatic!
It is impossible to see in the dark
In the flowing water...
we're in Paradise...
Sorry, the pitch was too high
The endless horizon...
We easily part but may never meet again...
In the flowing water... uh... the spring...
we're in Paradise...
Crazy!
He is not teaching at all.
It's okay, don't be scared,
let me take you home
How about I teach you
to sing something else?
I can do rap, too!
Bugger off!
See you tomorrow then!
What happened?
Nothing, a customer wanted to pay
his compliments to the chef
Nothing, a customer wanted to pay
his compliments to the chef
Hey, Jackie!
How's the fashion business?
It's doing just fine...
My business would
never match your vocals, Andy
Gone out to buy dinner, Jet?
Pancakes
It's the night of the full moon,
I need my energy
It's the Autumn Festival tonight
They still haven't given up on the hunt
Changgong
It's been five years
We still have no clue where the treasure is
Not "we", it's you
Finding Emperor Ming's hidden treasure
would unlock the secret to
how this empire was built
The Ryukyu Kingdom
would no longer need
to be a part of Ming China
And we would never
need to fear Japan again
Not too long ago, my Mongolian
ancestors ruled the world
And now, Ming China
has taken over the reign
Also...
I hear the Manchurians from the North
have been prepping their military
force for quite some time
I doubt that some legendary treasure
holds the power to save your country
I don't care
This is the task I was given
I need to get hold of the treasure
A Ninja always completes a mission
Do you blame me for losing the map?
Do you blame me for losing the map?
I'm more curious about something else...
You really have no
interest in the treasure at all?
Why is it that the wind always blow
eerily when there's a full moon?
Why is it that the wind always blow
eerily when there's a full moon?
Could there be ghosts?
I wouldn't mind a female ghost!
No, this ain't right
I'm the Mayor of Side road Town
And I'm about to meet the love of my life
I must behave like a man!
Darn, I need to pee...
My nose!
My hand!
Still not here yet...
I better get it done now
I can't hold it anymore!
My apologies Saint Tree
please don't be offended
Saint Water needs to come out...
Mayor Gu!
Don't be scared, I'm here!
Are you okay?
Mayor Gu
Your coat...
Coat...
No worries, it's fake
I mean down there...
Nothing fake down there...
I left the house in a hurry
Done
Where is it?
It's still there
Oh, you mean the Town Directory
Here it is
Please be careful with it
Thank you
Your hands are so cold,
let me keep them warm for you
The County Magistrate repeatedly
warned me to keep this confidential
I took this out with great difficulty
I am sorry to place you
in such difficult position
I'd do anything for you, my dear Xin
You know something?
My fellow townsmen all call me
"The Town Mom"
Oh, what an adorable nickname
Oh my god, what a beautiful smile
Here, let me give you another surprise
Here, let me give you another surprise
Another directory?
Here, let me show you
my most well kept treasure
Something I've worked on for years
This here documents all the
residential changes of this town
I work on it every night,
making sure it's accurate and up to date
I lose a lot of sleep working on it
This is Madam Zhang's eldest daughter
She was only 18
when she left so young and attractive...
So young, attractive, and desirable...
I didn't know you were
also such a talented artist
Every young woman in this town
is drawn in this directory
Just ensuring the town census is in check
I haven't checked you yet
There will be a chance...
Mayor Gu,
are you also in possession of another
book titled Southern Legends ?
Oh, that book?
I could tell you all the legendary stories
Speaking of legends
there's no better story than my
own... |Mayor Gu is a busy man
I wouldn't want to bother you
Why don't you just get me the book?
And I'll read the stories on my own
You really want it?
Yes, I want it
No problem!
I will bring it to you tomorrow
I am so grateful!
It's getting late, I better head back home
Don't leave yet!
What about our original plans for tonight?
Good morning, Jackie!
Morning!
Jackie! Andy!
Starting business so early today
You two are looking great this morning
Not as great as your leg
My hand!
My nose!
My leg!
Good morning, Lord Xu!
Good morning...
Lord Xu...
What a coincidence...
Looking to get a jacket made?
It has been a year, nine months,
and nineteen days since you last paid rent
Then...
Lord Xu...
I have long heard that
you're a brilliant mathematician
I can see you are indeed a genius!
It's true, I am quite good
Okay, enough with the bull crap, pay up!
We're both educated people here,
we shouldn't be discussing
unsophisticated matters such as money
You? Sophisticated?
I studied at the Imperial College for years
before I could be deemed as a scholar
Am I understanding this correctly?
You draw a couple of ugly lizards
and you're calling yourself an artist?
It's a Dragon!
Not a lizard!
We are all Chinese
Great descendents of the Dragon
Why don't you cut me some slack
Give me an extension of a couple more days
Lord Xu
Needless to say,
you are a man of sophistication
enormous wealth, and striking looks
You are strong and wise,
simply irresistible...
Geez, cut the crap!
But what was that you just said?
Enormous wealth?
No, that I already know
Strong and wise, simply irresistible...
Irresistible...
Okay, you seem honest and reliable enough
I'll grant you a ten day extension
Lord Xu
I speak nothing but the truth
Cross my heart, hope to die!
What was that again?
Cross my heart, hope to die?
No
Irresistible...
Wei...
Wei!
Is uncle and auntie home?
Don't be disgusting
You wanna order something to eat?
Here's your lunch
Eat quickly
Wait!
Now what?
I want to order more dishes
Order more food?
You never eat!
Look at how skinny you are!
Actually...
I only came to see you
Fine, you've seen me
Now, pay the check and leave!
One more thing!
I...
What?
Well...
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you
What do you want?
I was wondering when you
plan on paying the rent!
What about those three? They never pay!
Why don't you go ask your uncle for it, huh?
Fine...
Please don't be angry
I'll come back tomorrow
Long time no see, Lord Xu.
How have you been?
Mayor Gu, I think you need to
straighten things out a bit...
Mayor Gu, I think you need to
straighten things out a bit...
People in this town
are behaving like bandits
What bandits? Where?
There hasn't been one bandit
since I took over
the position of Town Mayor
How could there possibly be bad behavior?
Stop spreading such ugly rumors!
Really?
How am I to govern this town?
You're right, Mayor Gu
My father bought you this Mayor
position before he passed away
Have you already forgotten
how you got here in the first place?
Of course I have not forgotten
I have the utmost respect for your father
I have the utmost respect for your father
And I treat you well since then.
That would make me your half uncle, no?
Right, uncle
Good boy
Did you like
the birthday present I bought you?
Oh yes, the briefcase is very useful
The land where your office is located
on was also a gift from my family
Please, can we not talk about this here?
It doesn't make me look good as the Mayor
Fine, I didn't come here
to pick on you anyways
Let me asking you about something
You've found the right person
Nobody knows the streets of
this town better than me
The guy that owns the restaurant
What's his background?
You mean Moustache Man? He's nobody!
Just some guy
who made some money from selling horses
His wife is purchased,
they don't even love each other
I don't care how his marriage is doing
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
You talking about Wei?
That's a very long story
Once upon a time, three years ago...
on a dark and windy night
The old couple who lives in the
Tang house suddenly died
This little girl became an orphan
So the Moustache Man adopted her
claims he'd raise her
as a child bride for his son
You're so full of crap
You shouldn't make up stories like this
just because you are no match to him
What do you mean by that?
Look at my stylish hair...
You are no match at all
Who still wears fur these days?
You dress like a rich jerk
I dress like a rich jerk?
Lord Xu, you look so handsome today
Really? No rent will be charged for the day
Thank you, Lord Xu. You are a good man
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Go back, retreat!
Go back, retreat!
My dear Xin!
Mayor Gu, are you all right?
I'm fine...
Just a little wet
I mean, something's on my mind
Something smells here...
Yeah
Must be those stray dogs...
peeing all over the place
I'll check into this tomorrow
Let's go over there
Gosh, the smell's gotten stronger
Uhm...
After you then
Darn, couldn't hold it
So, where's the book you promised me?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
Here you go...
Mayor Gu, you must behave
I'm a married woman
You worried about
the Moustache Man you're married to?
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
Unlike myself, I look weak in appearance
but I am truly a strong man...
Xin, look over there
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
Oh, the butterflies have gone to sleep...
Mayor Gu
What are you talking about?
I see no flowers
I beg to differ! There's an old saying...
When you wish for something,
your dreams will come true
When you don't want something,
you end up getting more!
Mayor Gu, what in the world
are you trying to do?
You leave me with no choice
See
What do you think?
I drew these for you at work today
One flower, la-la-la...
Two flowers, tra-la-la...
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, ta-la-la...
There's a ghost!
Changgong...
Moustache Man!
Gu Yuejin is rather amusing
This area is desolated
and he has the heart to draw flowers for me
Lord Xu, you look cheerful today
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
Of course, naturally
I'll handle those three, don't worry about it
You're in my way...
Darn, we're done here, buzz off!
What a coincidence!
You still have the nerve to show up?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
We're not open today
That's fine, too! No work for the day
It's good to come out for the fresh air
Mayor Gu, looking to get
a Jackie Tang outfit?
Whoa, what's that? It smells horrible!
This is French perfume
It's made from flowers extracts
Smell it
Go away...
Hey, watch it! Don't you know who I am?
I brought this back from
the city specially for you
My father told me to study hard
So that I can gain more knowledge
But I think the best way to learn is to travel
and truly experience
the different walks of life
How about we go to the
Imperial City together sometime?
No
That's fine, it's too far anyways.
How about the countryside?
We can pick flowers during the sunny day
Admire the stars under
the bright moonlight at night
It'd be a wonderful trip!
Not interested
What's wrong with you today?
Business has been slow
Nobody's coming to dine at our restaurant
Even passing by tourists are becoming rare
All the food are becoming overcooked
And the fish is going bad
How are we gonna survive?
Well then... how about
I don't take rent from you?
I never intended to pay you anyways
I never intended to pay you anyways
Let me take care of you then
You think you can do
anything because you're rich?
I despise rich snobs like you
You think money can buy you everything
What's the big deal
Thank you for coming
Are you talking to me?
Fortune teller
I thought you were blind?
Can you see me?
Whoever told you I was blind?
I just didn't open my eyes
Young lady...
Your eyes are watery,
and your cheeks are pink
It's a sign that true love is near
True love?
Lord Xu...
Your forehead is shining bright
also a sign that love is near
Hey, what are you two playing at?
Nothing!
Stop denying!
You think you can have everything
Just because you got money?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
There was sand in my eyes
The sand got in my eyes
This outfit is perfect
But I need to appear to be more forceful
How about you guys do an act with me
to demonstrate my great kung-fu skills
Interested?
You can count on me
So, about the rent...
I'll handle it
You guys are about to go out of business
and you still owe Lord Xu rent
How dare you come to wine and dine here?
This is too infuriating
Scumbag!
What great skill!
Drunken Fist!
Bottoms up...
One more!
Dangerous.
Done.
Amazing!
I've got something even more powerful
Deadly Sound Wave
Huh? I don't recall talking about this
Deadly Sound Wave
Darn, he's improvising!
Please spare me!
That was awesome
Deadly Sound Wave!
Please spare me!
Unbelievable...
What are you doing here?
Oh, how did it break?
We're leaving now...
Simply irresistible
Let's go!
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
Move!
What are you laughing at?
Is this funny?
When I saw you with Gu Yuejin earlier on
I knew there was something fishy going on
What are you still doing here?
Get out!
I don't want to see you again!
Get out!
Please, let me explain
What's there to explain?
First you try partner with the fortune teller
Now you're trying to fool us with Gu Yuejin
I've had enough of you!
Get out of my sight!
Out!
Open the door!
Three of you don't come out
You better not touch me
I'll sue you for harassment.
I would never touch you
Ladies, you help me guard their doors
Ladies, you help me guard their doors
If they get away, I'll up your rent instead
I'm gonna get locks to close down
these shops for good!
Lord Xu...
Please don't shut me down!
Shut up, are you going to pay me?
No? Lock the doors!
Lord Xu, we're really broke!
No rent, no shop.
Lord Xu...
Please, just give us a few more days
Lord Xu
Lord Xu, I'll repay you twice
the amount in a few days
I'll pay you twenty times the amount
Thirty times!
Sixty times!
Are you all idiots?
Twenty! Thirty! Sixty!
Is it raining gold here?
You got treasure hidden up your butts?
Crazy!
We can hide treasure up our butts?
How do we do that?
You! Have you paid your rent?
I'm just passing by...
Who says you don't need to pay?
I own this street!
Who says you don't need to pay?
I own this street!
You! Have you paid your rent?
I'm broke
The Generals shall leave
"The Three Fortunes"
When the three stars turn, luck will arrive
I'll take this as payment
I'll take this as payment
Big changes shall fall upon us now
The seven elements added with three
All the fortune will come alive
Lord Xu!
You know Judge Liu's Pancake Song, too?
Did you pay the rent?
I've never had to
Why not?
I'm gonna smash your booth
I've known your father for many years
When he found that treasure map
I knew his luck had come
See how he built those shops?
Look how much fortune
he's made for your family
Nonsense!
Just now you told me love is near
But instead, I got slapped in the face
You tell my father his luck had come
Look how much bad luck this
treasure map has brought
He died two years
after that restaurant opened
I had no choice but to
give up school and come back
How do you explain all this?
I can only tell you your fortune,
not your destiny
He died before he could spend a cent
the heck with wealth!
Lord Xu!
Please put away that treasure map
You must not expose your fortune this way
You can have it
I don't want it!
Eat it...
Treasure map...
Lord Xu, please...
Your father left this to you
You must keep it safe
I've seen the treasure in your future
Stop torturing me!
And he says he's sophisticated,
such bad temper!
And he says he's sophisticated,
such bad temper!
Lord Xu, calm down!
Right, educated people should
behave with more sophistication
I'm fine now, thanks for asking...
How come I didn't know there was
treasure hidden in Side road Town?
Better check it out...
Once we find the treasure
we can take Wei and leave this place
Changgong...
Do you want to come to Ryukyu with me?
Or shall we return to Mongolia with you?
After all these years of
sufferings and disgrace
I have finally found
the treasure's hiding place
But...
But I've lost my home
I'm so homesick!
Hey, what are you doing here?
Nothing, just looking at my town
It's neither big nor small
Just a dead town...
Are you using the perfume I gave you?
No, I didn't
No?
How's your face?
Why didn't you duck away?
You're excellent in martial arts
how could I possibly match your speed
I don't know any Martial Arts
I only know the basic flying skill
I'm an orphan
When my stepfather found me
I was being bullied by others
He rescued me and
taught me the flying skill
He said as long as I know how to fly
I will always be able to escape from danger
You rich people
would never understand
Your life is too carefree
I'm an orphan, too!
My mother died when I was still very young
I was barely in college for two years
and my father passes away, too
And nobody is willing
to pay rent in this town
You're blaming us for
not paying rent again?
I'd never take anything from you
Well, my life is nothing like yours
Know why we only serve two dishes?
I'm illiterate
I wouldn't know how
to read or write a menu
Two dishes is easier to handle
I guess I'm the main reason that
our business is so bad
I guess I'm the main reason that
our business is so bad
I can teach you how to read
You'll teach me?
Let me teach you a poem first
Sure!
Roses are red, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, and so are you!
Stop it!
You're always kidding around!
Like earlier today on the street
We all heard you talking
about that treasure map
We all heard you talking
about that treasure map
Just a useless piece of junk
Didn't you say you the other day
when the weather is good
you'd like to take me on a trip?
Look how bright the moon is shining tonight
Why don't we bring this map
and go on a treasure hunt?
Why don't we bring this map
and go on a treasure hunt?
I told you it's a useless piece of junk
Who cares?
It's just a game
We're taking off!
I can fly
Are you using Wei to help you
find the treasure map?
Are you using Wei to help you
find the treasure map?
I didn't force her into anything
She's happy to do it
You've seen it, too
Xu Sanguan is always
coming around to see her
What's the harm in two young
people having some fun together?
What's the harm in two young
people having some fun together?
You're just using her for your own agenda
Don't worry
I only asked her to get the map
I'll protect them from behind
They won't be in any danger
Do you think this map will really
lead us to a hidden treasure?
Do you think this map will really
lead us to a hidden treasure?
I have no idea
Like I said, it's a useless piece of junk
But the interesting part is
when you place it in water
a lot of words would appear
Really?
Yeah
There will have treasure
What would you do
if you found the treasure?
I...
would first purchase the restaurant from you
And then I would hire a good chef!
We'd be able to serve
whatever the customer orders
And my step-parents wouldn't have to
sweat it all day in the kitchen
to make ends meet
That's great
You wouldn't have to do the dishes anymore
And you'd have more time
to go travelling with me
Who said I'd go with you?
How about you?
I'd give the treasure to you
You'd be able to afford the restaurant
and I'd get to see you everyday
I don't want to see you at all!
Let's go
"Within 5 years"
"self-determination"
It's been five years
Your time is up
Are you okay?
Where's Wei?
Up there
Who were those people?
You should ask her
They're here for the treasure map
So the map is truly genuine?
Everyone's in search of a treasure
I know I've already found mine
it's a bit heavy though
So there really is a treasure hidden here
Trying to fool me in my own town?
Never!
My heart is with Xin,
but she only sees Changgong
Life is so full of tough choices
I'm going to report this
to the County Magistrate
I can't let Xin find the treasure
and run off with the Moustache
Yup, can't just let her run off like that
But wait...
what if Xin finds out it was
I who ruined her plan?
Would she hate me?
This is fate!
I am left with no choice!
But on the other hand
I am the Mayor of this town,
I am obligated to report this
Every man has his venom
I will announce to all the officials that
there's a treasure hidden in Side road Town
And I will let Xin know that...
I am her greatest treasure!
Pick it up, we can barbeque the pigeon
There's a message attached to it
What does it say, Chief?
There is treasure hidden in Side road Town
Send over support immediately
Side road Town
Pass this message to every branch
Tell them we're going on a treasure hunt
Sir...
Your forehead is dark
and your face is fierce
I fear that imminent
danger will fall upon you,
must be cautious...
Shut up, you darn head!
Don't you know there's a treasure here?
I'm here to seek my fortune
Curse me again,
and I'll gouge out your eyeballs
The fate is written,
nothing can be changed
According to the map
we are at Side road Town
Once we cross Mount Cloud,
we'll reach the Black Lake
This should be where the treasure is
The map only points out a rough direction
That red spot covers a huge area
I think it should probably be... here!
Are there any other clues on the map?
The Generals shall leave
"The Three Fortunes"
So...
Look at that rock!
Doesn't it look like a huge peach?
It does...
The word "Prosperity" is engraved on it
What prosperity?
The Three Fortunes,
Prosperity... peach represents Long Life
We're missing Health
It comes between Prosperity and Long Life
Health... what about a green tree?
Does that work?
If you use a little imagination
and shift the characters around a bit
the tree would look like the word Health
But what does it all mean?
There is treasure
Men die in search of wealth
It is no longer safe to be here...
A bunch of beggars...
It ain't easy to survive
They won't achieve much
True that...
Hello...
You're here, too
Chu!
My dear cousin
How is your wife?
She's doing fine
What brings you here?
I hear there's a treasure
hidden here somewhere
Treasure?
Jackie Chan, I have finally found you
You killed my family and took all our money
An eye for an eye, you shall pay your debt
I'm not Jackie Chan, you're
mistaking me as someone else
Don't deny it,
I'd recognize that nose anywhere
I'm Jackie Tang!
You...
Hey Bro!
He's not Chan, he's Tang!
Jackie Tang?
And who are you?
Mind your own business
What did you just say to me?
Mr. Lau, I think Jackie Chan is over there
Where's Jackie Chan?
Here!
You're all Jackie Chan?
Yes!
You guys got nothing better to do?
Why are you all dressed up like me?
Why would we want to dress up like you?
I am famous for my nose!
Jackie Chan's nose is way bigger!
But I've never had any work done
Ours is genuine, too!
Mr. Lau, we better figure this out first
Stop imitating me
Idolizing me is good,
but this is too much!
Jackie Tang, I don't recall
your nose being this big
I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan
I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan
Ricky, I think they're
trying to be Jackie Tang
Not too long ago
they had completely different hairstyle
That's correct!
You're wrong!
No, you're wrong!
I'm right, Tang is copying Chan!
What's the fuss? Jackie Chang?
No, it's Jackie Cheng!
Jackie Cheng?
That sounds familiar...
It's that dude who always
mumbles through his songs
Which one is it?
Let's have an autograph
No
I'm the one who mumbles through songs
Geeze... stop imitating me...
Hey, that looks cool!
Hey, show some more
respect to your seniors
Please, your glorious days are over!
Please, your glorious days are over!
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you're out of style!
Who are you to judge?
Nobody understands what you're singing
Can you mumble
through your songs like me?
Let me be the judge, go on, sing!
Let me be the judge, go on, sing!
Who are you? Get outta here!
I told you to listen to me,
and you wouldn't
You're in serious trouble now,
the Imperial Army is here
They're gonna kick your butts!
On your set, butts, go!
Who dares to block my way?
I am the Mayor of this town
What's a Mayor?
You're too stupid to know
I'm an officer appointed by
the Ming Government
What are you?
We're the invading Manchurian Army
So, you're the Mayor?
Order everyone to come out and surrender
Surrender!
Move
Move!
Let's go.
Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far
Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far
I had no idea you'd travel
all the way out here...
Are the Persians joining us, too?
I better learn more language
Hmm... which language should I start with...
What's the next line?
When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive
Everyone inside listen up,
lay down your weapons
Hand over the treasure,
and surrender immediately
Surrender immediately!
We don't even know where the treasure is!
We're handing in crap!
There are so many caves
This place is like a maze
Which one should we go?
When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive
So...
Here, hold this
Didn't you say the map looks
different when it's placed in water?
There's water here, let's give it a try
If you don't come out and surrender,
we'll kill everyone
Kill everyone!
Listen to me, we shouldn't be
fighting amongst ourselves
Let's join forces and
defeat them, follow me!
Na-Lan
I have indeed found what I'm looking for
I have indeed found what I'm looking for
Changgong
I will prove to everyone today
I am truly
the Supreme Master of Martial Arts!
Wow, these characters look beautiful!
But what do they mean?
Hey, college boy
Can you tell me what they say?
E, S, W, N
What does it mean?
East, South, West, North
The Three Stars do not go upside down...
The Three Stars do not go upside down
What?
The game of east south west north
I used to play it all the time when I was a kid
Three Stars... upside down...
Could it mean the direction here?
It's three in the afternoon now
so the east would be there
Take six steps east, 1... 2... 3...
It works!
I'm so clever!
You already are the Supreme Master
Haven't I lost to you already?
I don't want a fake reputation
I have to defeat you with my sword
We should have left the maze by now
This map is amazing
Wei, how did you figure it out?
I'm good at anything,
as long as I don't need to use my head
There's more ahead...
Na-Lan disobeyed my orders
by heading in first
So what if he's superior in Martial Arts
It's the age of firearm
Bring out the cannon!
I'll show them what supreme power is!
Light the torch
What is this?
Some sort of trap
What's the next line in the song?
Big changes shall fall upon us now
Is that related to this?
Yes, I think so
It may have something
to do with these characters
The word Big
There's Change
Maybe we should follow
the order of the line?
We got it!
Come
We made it
It's your turn!
But I don't know how to read
And I can't remember which
characters you stepped on
Here, let me teach you the first character
Big, try to find it
Big
Yes
I see it!
Come!
What is it?
Here, let me help you
Be careful!
Wait, nobody move
I think we aren't supposed to
step on two characters at the same time
What should we do?
This isn't fun anymore
Hold on, I think I know what to do
Anything that won't
require me to use my brain
Tell me
This is Big
Which one is Change?
This one
That one with three dots
I see it, it's this one
Listen to me
I'm gonna count to three,
and you jump as high as you can
I promise you'll be fine
Listen
Didn't I say you'd be fine?
Yeah
But why didn't you just directly jump over?
You didn't have to make it so complicated
Told you I don't use my head a lot
The next character
Which one is it?
I think it's Come
Where is the word?
It should be... behind there
How are we gonna jump over?
Just jump over at the count of 3
And then you can jump back here to me
Okay
Wait, can you try to be a little more gentle?
Fine
Well?
I thought you know the flying skill
How come you're this heavy?
Are you calling me fat?
No
Fat and heavy are two different things
Next character!
Gotta let them know, physical
combat is no longer the trend...
Gotta let them know, physical
combat is no longer the trend...
Release!
Mother!
You...
Open the door!
How come your ring is on my finger?
Just keep it then
What is this place?
Wow, there really is a treasure!
Come help me move it down
Are you okay?
Watch out!
Father! Mother!
Mother, are you all right?
Are you okay?
Who are you?
What is this?
Emperor Ming's hidden treasure...
No
The Manchurian Army plans to get rid of me
I'm tired of military life anyways
I have the Emperor Ming treasure now
I will be the richest man in the world!
No!
Get over here.
What do you want? Let go of me!
Open it
So what if you're strong?
You still can't open it!
You need a brain for that!
You listen to me, if you let us go
We'll open it for you, right?
Okay, deal!
The seven elements added with three
All the fortune will come alive
The seven elements added with three...
All the fortune will come alive
How do seven elements add to three?
The seven elements of learning...
that adds to our fortune...
Is it what I think it is...
The seven elements added with three...
All the fortune will come alive
Judge Liu had to learn how to read
before he could pass the Imperial Exam
Liu was the best at mathematics
Mathematics...
Seven elements added with three...
it's a group of numbers
Seven plus three equals ten
Means 7310
Then 7304
Means 7321
It's open
Let go of her.
Get lost!
Are you okay?
I was born to humble beginnings,
and understand the hardship of my people
I work hard every day in order to stay alive
I fought to stay warm and fed
conquering the world with my spade
A simple motive,
but I end up becoming the Emperor
I'm rich but I'm trapped in the Palace
Darn!
Shut up, I know how to read
Darn! This is not what I wanted
What I love most is my spade
This farming spade kept me alive
It helped me build a new empire
When I stole a chicken
from the widow next door
My spade enabled me to dig
a hole to cook the chicken
The Beggar's Chicken dish,
cooked with five different spices
It was delicious!
So my most valued treasure
is none other than...
this spade
What's going on?
Get out of here, quick!
Changgong!
Changgong!
Go...
Father!
Go...
Changgong!
Go!
Changgong!
Changgong, come out please
I finally realize what my real treasure is
Come out please, Changgong!
Come out please!
Changgong... don't you remember?
We have yet to complete our sonata
Changgong!
Father!
He's fine!
Today is the grand opening of
Emperor Ming's Theme Park
Today is the grand opening of
Emperor Ming's Theme Park
It is also the second day of the
discovery of a rare treasure
And what is the treasure?
It is this fantastic spade
I am holding in my hand
With this spade,
we are able to farm our lands
With this spade,
we are able to farm our lands
With farming,
we are able to have food to eat
As long as we have food to eat,
we are able to stay alive
So staying alive is
the most important thing of all!
You are the
Supreme Master of Martial Arts now
I shall retreat to the midlands
and never fight again
I shall retreat to the midlands
and never fight again
Changgong!
(The Imperial City)
(Tai Bai Restaurant)
Come on...
Unexpected that we could meet again.
Come to upstairs, come on...
Come on...
I'll beat you.
Stop!
This umbrella is too expensive.
Forget it if you don't want to buy.
It's you?
Let's go.
I've invited you here to discuss
Emperor Ming's hidden treasure
The map is hidden inside
The Imperial Palace
Treasure map? What is the plan?
The Autumn Festival
is coming in three days
We shall make our move
on the night of the full moon
The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded
How will we get in?
Heavily guarded, you say?
The Emperor visits Lady Liu
on the fifteenth of each month
Other than a bunch of useless eunuchs
no one dares to go near The Imperial Palace
Chu can show off his lock-picking techniques
I will be done even before The Emperor
has taken off his Royal Pants!
I will be done even before The Emperor
has taken off his Royal Pants!
How do we get the map outside of the city?
That is where I come in
I have been escorting convoy
across the country for years
I have been escorting convoy
across the country for years
I know the best route
to exit The Imperial City
Fantastic, it is done then
In three days, on the fifteenth of this month
let us make a toast to the full moon
Cheers!
Go away!
I lost control.
Go away, old lady!
The horse is coming, go away!
Who is this piece of crap
interrupting my party?
You are completely out of tune!
I'm here for fun!
Calm down, just ignore them
Sir, you are really
disrupting our performance
Can you please stop
and let us continue on our own?
We are performing, too!
I just want to be able to
perform a sonata with her
May I?
Isn't that the Supreme Master of
Martial Arts... Changgong?
Isn't that the Supreme Master of
Martial Arts... Changgong?
What's he doing here in The Imperial City?
Supreme Master my foot!
I heard he was defeated
by Na-Lan of Manchuria
Probably came here to hide his shame
Hide his shame in a whorehouse?
Doesn't quite match up the
reputation of a Master!
He might as well be digging his own grave
No point in arguing with these idiots
Let's get out of here
(Tai Bai Restaurant)
So... your place or mine?
What's that you said?
To finish our sonata...
How about...
We meet in three days, on the night
of the Autumn Festival
We meet in three days, on the night
of the Autumn Festival
We shall complete our
sonata under the full moon
What do you think?
Sounds good
On the night of the full moon
we shall meet at the highest
point of The Imperial City
we shall meet at the highest
point of The Imperial City
That was fast!
Shush, someone's been here already
Who?
A woman?
The treasure map!
Go after her!
Assassins!
Protect The Emperor!
Quick...
My nose!
You stood me up, why?
Technically, you didn't forget
our date under the moon
because you did show up
Why?
Is our meeting all just a part of your plan?
Is our meeting all just a part of your plan?
It is hard to find someone
who we can be in tune with
It is hard to find someone
who we can be in tune with
Where's the treasure map?
Hand it over!
Otherwise
I will have to take it from you
Help me...
Help me...
Is this the treasure map?
The treasure is hidden near this town!
Forget it...
I'm done with this
You two can go find this treasure
Men die in seek of wealth and illusions
Totally not worth it...
I want to go home!
This drawing changes...
What an old rundown temple
I should tear it down
renovate it into a few shops and earn rent
"5 years later"
We're ready to order!
What you looking at?
Make your order!
Shark's fin soup
Great...
Stir-fried frog
Good...
That's it? Coming right up
Don't keep us waiting too long
Check out this chick
She's steaming hot...
That was quick!
Enjoy!
Young lady.
What's wrong with you?
Hey honey...
where's the shark's fin
and stir-fried frog we ordered?
Yeah!
This is what you ordered!
That's just fish and
pork with glass noodles!
Darn, the fish isn't even cooked!
What are you playing at?
Father! There's trouble out here again!
Good day, gentlemen
What's wrong?
Didn't you explain to them?
My apologies, please allow me to
introduce these dishes to you
This is Genuine Sushi
from the Ryukyu Islands
It goes great with chili pepper
And this, Braised Pork with
Vermicelli from the Northeast
Smells good, doesn't it?
Ginger...
Exactly!
The aroma of ginger
It's specially prepared by my father
Think about it
Pork, vermicelli, and fish
You've got all the nutrition you need!
And along with ginger
Here, smell again
It's absolutely brilliant!
Correct? Agree?
No!
That's not the point,
this is not what I ordered
You shouldn't confuse what's on
the menu with actual dishes that is served
You shouldn't confuse what's on
the menu with actual dishes that is served
More importantly,
consider this for a minute
whatever it is that you eat
what happens after that?
It all comes out the other end, right?
What's the difference whether it's
shark's fin or glass noodles?
Let's not fuss with such stupid formalities
Just enjoy the food
Please enjoy!
Go ahead, eat...
How dare you screw with me!
Either you eat the food
Or you simply leave
Let's split!
Hey, pay first!
Careful!
Praise the Buddha!
My name is Jet

Life buoy?
It helps you float on water
It can save you from drowning
Dude, I travel through the Silk Road
There's nothing but the desert and sand
Life is unpredictable
You never know where the wind will blow
A tsunami might
take place in the desert, too!
You should buy one, just in case
No...
Please sir
Buy a flag then, it's for charity!
Darn with your flag!
Life is unpredictable!
I ran into a tsunami once on the beach!
I was talking about the desert!
You never know, hey both got sand, right?
Darn with your sand!
Life is unpredictable...
Life is unpredictable...
(Tailor Shop)
What in the world is this?
I wanted a down jacket!
This is Jackie Tang's Garment
Tang style?
It's the Ming Dynasty now
who still wears something
from the Tang Dynasty?
No, Jackie Tang is a
whole different style of its own
You see these four pockets?
You can put anything
inside them, for example
you can put candy inside for your grandson
When you're holding him,
he could easily find the candies
Brilliant and convenient, don't you agree?
I see, and what's this lizard
looking thing doing here?
It's a Dragon!
The Dragon represents our Chinese heritage
Jackie Tang's Garment
is tailor-made for all of us!
What a lunatic!
It is impossible to see in the dark
In the flowing water...
we're in Paradise...
Sorry, the pitch was too high
The endless horizon...
We easily part but may never meet again...
In the flowing water... uh... the spring...
we're in Paradise...
Crazy!
He is not teaching at all.
It's okay, don't be scared,
let me take you home
How about I teach you
to sing something else?
I can do rap, too!
Bugger off!
See you tomorrow then!
What happened?
Nothing, a customer wanted to pay
his compliments to the chef
Nothing, a customer wanted to pay
his compliments to the chef
Hey, Jackie!
How's the fashion business?
It's doing just fine...
My business would
never match your vocals, Andy
Gone out to buy dinner, Jet?
Pancakes
It's the night of the full moon,
I need my energy
It's the Autumn Festival tonight
They still haven't given up on the hunt
Changgong
It's been five years
We still have no clue where the treasure is
Not "we", it's you
Finding Emperor Ming's hidden treasure
would unlock the secret to
how this empire was built
The Ryukyu Kingdom
would no longer need
to be a part of Ming China
And we would never
need to fear Japan again
Not too long ago, my Mongolian
ancestors ruled the world
And now, Ming China
has taken over the reign
Also...
I hear the Manchurians from the North
have been prepping their military
force for quite some time
I doubt that some legendary treasure
holds the power to save your country
I don't care
This is the task I was given
I need to get hold of the treasure
A Ninja always completes a mission
Do you blame me for losing the map?
Do you blame me for losing the map?
I'm more curious about something else...
You really have no
interest in the treasure at all?
Why is it that the wind always blow
eerily when there's a full moon?
Why is it that the wind always blow
eerily when there's a full moon?
Could there be ghosts?
I wouldn't mind a female ghost!
No, this ain't right
I'm the Mayor of Side road Town
And I'm about to meet the love of my life
I must behave like a man!
Darn, I need to pee...
My nose!
My hand!
Still not here yet...
I better get it done now
I can't hold it anymore!
My apologies Saint Tree
please don't be offended
Saint Water needs to come out...
Mayor Gu!
Don't be scared, I'm here!
Are you okay?
Mayor Gu
Your coat...
Coat...
No worries, it's fake
I mean down there...
Nothing fake down there...
I left the house in a hurry
Done
Where is it?
It's still there
Oh, you mean the Town Directory
Here it is
Please be careful with it
Thank you
Your hands are so cold,
let me keep them warm for you
The County Magistrate repeatedly
warned me to keep this confidential
I took this out with great difficulty
I am sorry to place you
in such difficult position
I'd do anything for you, my dear Xin
You know something?
My fellow townsmen all call me
"The Town Mom"
Oh, what an adorable nickname
Oh my god, what a beautiful smile
Here, let me give you another surprise
Here, let me give you another surprise
Another directory?
Here, let me show you
my most well kept treasure
Something I've worked on for years
This here documents all the
residential changes of this town
I work on it every night,
making sure it's accurate and up to date
I lose a lot of sleep working on it
This is Madam Zhang's eldest daughter
She was only 18
when she left so young and attractive...
So young, attractive, and desirable...
I didn't know you were
also such a talented artist
Every young woman in this town
is drawn in this directory
Just ensuring the town census is in check
I haven't checked you yet
There will be a chance...
Mayor Gu,
are you also in possession of another
book titled Southern Legends ?
Oh, that book?
I could tell you all the legendary stories
Speaking of legends
there's no better story than my
own... |Mayor Gu is a busy man
I wouldn't want to bother you
Why don't you just get me the book?
And I'll read the stories on my own
You really want it?
Yes, I want it
No problem!
I will bring it to you tomorrow
I am so grateful!
It's getting late, I better head back home
Don't leave yet!
What about our original plans for tonight?
Good morning, Jackie!
Morning!
Jackie! Andy!
Starting business so early today
You two are looking great this morning
Not as great as your leg
My hand!
My nose!
My leg!
Good morning, Lord Xu!
Good morning...
Lord Xu...
What a coincidence...
Looking to get a jacket made?
It has been a year, nine months,
and nineteen days since you last paid rent
Then...
Lord Xu...
I have long heard that
you're a brilliant mathematician
I can see you are indeed a genius!
It's true, I am quite good
Okay, enough with the bull crap, pay up!
We're both educated people here,
we shouldn't be discussing
unsophisticated matters such as money
You? Sophisticated?
I studied at the Imperial College for years
before I could be deemed as a scholar
Am I understanding this correctly?
You draw a couple of ugly lizards
and you're calling yourself an artist?
It's a Dragon!
Not a lizard!
We are all Chinese
Great descendents of the Dragon
Why don't you cut me some slack
Give me an extension of a couple more days
Lord Xu
Needless to say,
you are a man of sophistication
enormous wealth, and striking looks
You are strong and wise,
simply irresistible...
Geez, cut the crap!
But what was that you just said?
Enormous wealth?
No, that I already know
Strong and wise, simply irresistible...
Irresistible...
Okay, you seem honest and reliable enough
I'll grant you a ten day extension
Lord Xu
I speak nothing but the truth
Cross my heart, hope to die!
What was that again?
Cross my heart, hope to die?
No
Irresistible...
Wei...
Wei!
Is uncle and auntie home?
Don't be disgusting
You wanna order something to eat?
Here's your lunch
Eat quickly
Wait!
Now what?
I want to order more dishes
Order more food?
You never eat!
Look at how skinny you are!
Actually...
I only came to see you
Fine, you've seen me
Now, pay the check and leave!
One more thing!
I...
What?
Well...
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you
What do you want?
I was wondering when you
plan on paying the rent!
What about those three? They never pay!
Why don't you go ask your uncle for it, huh?
Fine...
Please don't be angry
I'll come back tomorrow
Long time no see, Lord Xu.
How have you been?
Mayor Gu, I think you need to
straighten things out a bit...
Mayor Gu, I think you need to
straighten things out a bit...
People in this town
are behaving like bandits
What bandits? Where?
There hasn't been one bandit
since I took over
the position of Town Mayor
How could there possibly be bad behavior?
Stop spreading such ugly rumors!
Really?
How am I to govern this town?
You're right, Mayor Gu
My father bought you this Mayor
position before he passed away
Have you already forgotten
how you got here in the first place?
Of course I have not forgotten
I have the utmost respect for your father
I have the utmost respect for your father
And I treat you well since then.
That would make me your half uncle, no?
Right, uncle
Good boy
Did you like
the birthday present I bought you?
Oh yes, the briefcase is very useful
The land where your office is located
on was also a gift from my family
Please, can we not talk about this here?
It doesn't make me look good as the Mayor
Fine, I didn't come here
to pick on you anyways
Let me asking you about something
You've found the right person
Nobody knows the streets of
this town better than me
The guy that owns the restaurant
What's his background?
You mean Moustache Man? He's nobody!
Just some guy
who made some money from selling horses
His wife is purchased,
they don't even love each other
I don't care how his marriage is doing
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
I want to find out what his
relationship is with Wei
You talking about Wei?
That's a very long story
Once upon a time, three years ago...
on a dark and windy night
The old couple who lives in the
Tang house suddenly died
This little girl became an orphan
So the Moustache Man adopted her
claims he'd raise her
as a child bride for his son
You're so full of crap
You shouldn't make up stories like this
just because you are no match to him
What do you mean by that?
Look at my stylish hair...
You are no match at all
Who still wears fur these days?
You dress like a rich jerk
I dress like a rich jerk?
Lord Xu, you look so handsome today
Really? No rent will be charged for the day
Thank you, Lord Xu. You are a good man
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Darn, why do I have the urge
to pee whenever I see water?
Go back, retreat!
Go back, retreat!
My dear Xin!
Mayor Gu, are you all right?
I'm fine...
Just a little wet
I mean, something's on my mind
Something smells here...
Yeah
Must be those stray dogs...
peeing all over the place
I'll check into this tomorrow
Let's go over there
Gosh, the smell's gotten stronger
Uhm...
After you then
Darn, couldn't hold it
So, where's the book you promised me?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
How could I possibly
forget what Xin wants?
Here you go...
Mayor Gu, you must behave
I'm a married woman
You worried about
the Moustache Man you're married to?
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
He may look tough,
but he's probably useless
Unlike myself, I look weak in appearance
but I am truly a strong man...
Xin, look over there
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
See how beautiful the butterflies
look hovering over the flowers?
Oh, the butterflies have gone to sleep...
Mayor Gu
What are you talking about?
I see no flowers
I beg to differ! There's an old saying...
When you wish for something,
your dreams will come true
When you don't want something,
you end up getting more!
Mayor Gu, what in the world
are you trying to do?
You leave me with no choice
See
What do you think?
I drew these for you at work today
One flower, la-la-la...
Two flowers, tra-la-la...
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, ta-la-la...
There's a ghost!
Changgong...
Moustache Man!
Gu Yuejin is rather amusing
This area is desolated
and he has the heart to draw flowers for me
Lord Xu, you look cheerful today
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
How can I be cheerful?
Those three still aren't paying their rent
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
As the town Mayor,
shouldn't you do something about it?
Of course, naturally
I'll handle those three, don't worry about it
You're in my way...
Darn, we're done here, buzz off!
What a coincidence!
You still have the nerve to show up?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
I'm a regular at your restaurant,
you don't want my business?
We're not open today
That's fine, too! No work for the day
It's good to come out for the fresh air
Mayor Gu, looking to get
a Jackie Tang outfit?
Whoa, what's that? It smells horrible!
This is French perfume
It's made from flowers extracts
Smell it
Go away...
Hey, watch it! Don't you know who I am?
I brought this back from
the city specially for you
My father told me to study hard
So that I can gain more knowledge
But I think the best way to learn is to travel
and truly experience
the different walks of life
How about we go to the
Imperial City together sometime?
No
That's fine, it's too far anyways.
How about the countryside?
We can pick flowers during the sunny day
Admire the stars under
the bright moonlight at night
It'd be a wonderful trip!
Not interested
What's wrong with you today?
Business has been slow
Nobody's coming to dine at our restaurant
Even passing by tourists are becoming rare
All the food are becoming overcooked
And the fish is going bad
How are we gonna survive?
Well then... how about
I don't take rent from you?
I never intended to pay you anyways
I never intended to pay you anyways
Let me take care of you then
You think you can do
anything because you're rich?
I despise rich snobs like you
You think money can buy you everything
What's the big deal
Thank you for coming
Are you talking to me?
Fortune teller
I thought you were blind?
Can you see me?
Whoever told you I was blind?
I just didn't open my eyes
Young lady...
Your eyes are watery,
and your cheeks are pink
It's a sign that true love is near
True love?
Lord Xu...
Your forehead is shining bright
also a sign that love is near
Hey, what are you two playing at?
Nothing!
Stop denying!
You think you can have everything
Just because you got money?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
You get this fortune teller
to fool me, you think I'm stupid?
There was sand in my eyes
The sand got in my eyes
This outfit is perfect
But I need to appear to be more forceful
How about you guys do an act with me
to demonstrate my great kung-fu skills
Interested?
You can count on me
So, about the rent...
I'll handle it
You guys are about to go out of business
and you still owe Lord Xu rent
How dare you come to wine and dine here?
This is too infuriating
Scumbag!
What great skill!
Drunken Fist!
Bottoms up...
One more!
Dangerous.
Done.
Amazing!
I've got something even more powerful
Deadly Sound Wave
Huh? I don't recall talking about this
Deadly Sound Wave
Darn, he's improvising!
Please spare me!
That was awesome
Deadly Sound Wave!
Please spare me!
Unbelievable...
What are you doing here?
Oh, how did it break?
We're leaving now...
Simply irresistible
Let's go!
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
What?
Never seen someone caught in an act?
Move!
What are you laughing at?
Is this funny?
When I saw you with Gu Yuejin earlier on
I knew there was something fishy going on
What are you still doing here?
Get out!
I don't want to see you again!
Get out!
Please, let me explain
What's there to explain?
First you try partner with the fortune teller
Now you're trying to fool us with Gu Yuejin
I've had enough of you!
Get out of my sight!
Out!
Open the door!
Three of you don't come out
You better not touch me
I'll sue you for harassment.
I would never touch you
Ladies, you help me guard their doors
Ladies, you help me guard their doors
If they get away, I'll up your rent instead
I'm gonna get locks to close down
these shops for good!
Lord Xu...
Please don't shut me down!
Shut up, are you going to pay me?
No? Lock the doors!
Lord Xu, we're really broke!
No rent, no shop.
Lord Xu...
Please, just give us a few more days
Lord Xu
Lord Xu, I'll repay you twice
the amount in a few days
I'll pay you twenty times the amount
Thirty times!
Sixty times!
Are you all idiots?
Twenty! Thirty! Sixty!
Is it raining gold here?
You got treasure hidden up your butts?
Crazy!
We can hide treasure up our butts?
How do we do that?
You! Have you paid your rent?
I'm just passing by...
Who says you don't need to pay?
I own this street!
Who says you don't need to pay?
I own this street!
You! Have you paid your rent?
I'm broke
The Generals shall leave
"The Three Fortunes"
When the three stars turn, luck will arrive
I'll take this as payment
I'll take this as payment
Big changes shall fall upon us now
The seven elements added with three
All the fortune will come alive
Lord Xu!
You know Judge Liu's Pancake Song, too?
Did you pay the rent?
I've never had to
Why not?
I'm gonna smash your booth
I've known your father for many years
When he found that treasure map
I knew his luck had come
See how he built those shops?
Look how much fortune
he's made for your family
Nonsense!
Just now you told me love is near
But instead, I got slapped in the face
You tell my father his luck had come
Look how much bad luck this
treasure map has brought
He died two years
after that restaurant opened
I had no choice but to
give up school and come back
How do you explain all this?
I can only tell you your fortune,
not your destiny
He died before he could spend a cent
the heck with wealth!
Lord Xu!
Please put away that treasure map
You must not expose your fortune this way
You can have it
I don't want it!
Eat it...
Treasure map...
Lord Xu, please...
Your father left this to you
You must keep it safe
I've seen the treasure in your future
Stop torturing me!
And he says he's sophisticated,
such bad temper!
And he says he's sophisticated,
such bad temper!
Lord Xu, calm down!
Right, educated people should
behave with more sophistication
I'm fine now, thanks for asking...
How come I didn't know there was
treasure hidden in Side road Town?
Better check it out...
Once we find the treasure
we can take Wei and leave this place
Changgong...
Do you want to come to Ryukyu with me?
Or shall we return to Mongolia with you?
After all these years of
sufferings and disgrace
I have finally found
the treasure's hiding place
But...
But I've lost my home
I'm so homesick!
Hey, what are you doing here?
Nothing, just looking at my town
It's neither big nor small
Just a dead town...
Are you using the perfume I gave you?
No, I didn't
No?
How's your face?
Why didn't you duck away?
You're excellent in martial arts
how could I possibly match your speed
I don't know any Martial Arts
I only know the basic flying skill
I'm an orphan
When my stepfather found me
I was being bullied by others
He rescued me and
taught me the flying skill
He said as long as I know how to fly
I will always be able to escape from danger
You rich people
would never understand
Your life is too carefree
I'm an orphan, too!
My mother died when I was still very young
I was barely in college for two years
and my father passes away, too
And nobody is willing
to pay rent in this town
You're blaming us for
not paying rent again?
I'd never take anything from you
Well, my life is nothing like yours
Know why we only serve two dishes?
I'm illiterate
I wouldn't know how
to read or write a menu
Two dishes is easier to handle
I guess I'm the main reason that
our business is so bad
I guess I'm the main reason that
our business is so bad
I can teach you how to read
You'll teach me?
Let me teach you a poem first
Sure!
Roses are red, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, and so are you!
Stop it!
You're always kidding around!
Like earlier today on the street
We all heard you talking
about that treasure map
We all heard you talking
about that treasure map
Just a useless piece of junk
Didn't you say you the other day
when the weather is good
you'd like to take me on a trip?
Look how bright the moon is shining tonight
Why don't we bring this map
and go on a treasure hunt?
Why don't we bring this map
and go on a treasure hunt?
I told you it's a useless piece of junk
Who cares?
It's just a game
We're taking off!
I can fly
Are you using Wei to help you
find the treasure map?
Are you using Wei to help you
find the treasure map?
I didn't force her into anything
She's happy to do it
You've seen it, too
Xu Sanguan is always
coming around to see her
What's the harm in two young
people having some fun together?
What's the harm in two young
people having some fun together?
You're just using her for your own agenda
Don't worry
I only asked her to get the map
I'll protect them from behind
They won't be in any danger
Do you think this map will really
lead us to a hidden treasure?
Do you think this map will really
lead us to a hidden treasure?
I have no idea
Like I said, it's a useless piece of junk
But the interesting part is
when you place it in water
a lot of words would appear
Really?
Yeah
There will have treasure
What would you do
if you found the treasure?
I...
would first purchase the restaurant from you
And then I would hire a good chef!
We'd be able to serve
whatever the customer orders
And my step-parents wouldn't have to
sweat it all day in the kitchen
to make ends meet
That's great
You wouldn't have to do the dishes anymore
And you'd have more time
to go travelling with me
Who said I'd go with you?
How about you?
I'd give the treasure to you
You'd be able to afford the restaurant
and I'd get to see you everyday
I don't want to see you at all!
Let's go
"Within 5 years"
"self-determination"
It's been five years
Your time is up
Are you okay?
Where's Wei?
Up there
Who were those people?
You should ask her
They're here for the treasure map
So the map is truly genuine?
Everyone's in search of a treasure
I know I've already found mine
it's a bit heavy though
So there really is a treasure hidden here
Trying to fool me in my own town?
Never!
My heart is with Xin,
but she only sees Changgong
Life is so full of tough choices
I'm going to report this
to the County Magistrate
I can't let Xin find the treasure
and run off with the Moustache
Yup, can't just let her run off like that
But wait...
what if Xin finds out it was
I who ruined her plan?
Would she hate me?
This is fate!
I am left with no choice!
But on the other hand
I am the Mayor of this town,
I am obligated to report this
Every man has his venom
I will announce to all the officials that
there's a treasure hidden in Side road Town
And I will let Xin know that...
I am her greatest treasure!
Pick it up, we can barbeque the pigeon
There's a message attached to it
What does it say, Chief?
There is treasure hidden in Side road Town
Send over support immediately
Side road Town
Pass this message to every branch
Tell them we're going on a treasure hunt
Sir...
Your forehead is dark
and your face is fierce
I fear that imminent
danger will fall upon you,
must be cautious...
Shut up, you darn head!
Don't you know there's a treasure here?
I'm here to seek my fortune
Curse me again,
and I'll gouge out your eyeballs
The fate is written,
nothing can be changed
According to the map
we are at Side road Town
Once we cross Mount Cloud,
we'll reach the Black Lake
This should be where the treasure is
The map only points out a rough direction
That red spot covers a huge area
I think it should probably be... here!
Are there any other clues on the map?
The Generals shall leave
"The Three Fortunes"
So...
Look at that rock!
Doesn't it look like a huge peach?
It does...
The word "Prosperity" is engraved on it
What prosperity?
The Three Fortunes,
Prosperity... peach represents Long Life
We're missing Health
It comes between Prosperity and Long Life
Health... what about a green tree?
Does that work?
If you use a little imagination
and shift the characters around a bit
the tree would look like the word Health
But what does it all mean?
There is treasure
Men die in search of wealth
It is no longer safe to be here...
A bunch of beggars...
It ain't easy to survive
They won't achieve much
True that...
Hello...
You're here, too
Chu!
My dear cousin
How is your wife?
She's doing fine
What brings you here?
I hear there's a treasure
hidden here somewhere
Treasure?
Jackie Chan, I have finally found you
You killed my family and took all our money
An eye for an eye, you shall pay your debt
I'm not Jackie Chan, you're
mistaking me as someone else
Don't deny it,
I'd recognize that nose anywhere
I'm Jackie Tang!
You...
Hey Bro!
He's not Chan, he's Tang!
Jackie Tang?
And who are you?
Mind your own business
What did you just say to me?
Mr. Lau, I think Jackie Chan is over there
Where's Jackie Chan?
Here!
You're all Jackie Chan?
Yes!
You guys got nothing better to do?
Why are you all dressed up like me?
Why would we want to dress up like you?
I am famous for my nose!
Jackie Chan's nose is way bigger!
But I've never had any work done
Ours is genuine, too!
Mr. Lau, we better figure this out first
Stop imitating me
Idolizing me is good,
but this is too much!
Jackie Tang, I don't recall
your nose being this big
I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan
I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan
Ricky, I think they're
trying to be Jackie Tang
Not too long ago
they had completely different hairstyle
That's correct!
You're wrong!
No, you're wrong!
I'm right, Tang is copying Chan!
What's the fuss? Jackie Chang?
No, it's Jackie Cheng!
Jackie Cheng?
That sounds familiar...
It's that dude who always
mumbles through his songs
Which one is it?
Let's have an autograph
No
I'm the one who mumbles through songs
Geeze... stop imitating me...
Hey, that looks cool!
Hey, show some more
respect to your seniors
Please, your glorious days are over!
Please, your glorious days are over!
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you're out of style!
Who are you to judge?
Nobody understands what you're singing
Can you mumble
through your songs like me?
Let me be the judge, go on, sing!
Let me be the judge, go on, sing!
Who are you? Get outta here!
I told you to listen to me,
and you wouldn't
You're in serious trouble now,
the Imperial Army is here
They're gonna kick your butts!
On your set, butts, go!
Who dares to block my way?
I am the Mayor of this town
What's a Mayor?
You're too stupid to know
I'm an officer appointed by
the Ming Government
What are you?
We're the invading Manchurian Army
So, you're the Mayor?
Order everyone to come out and surrender
Surrender!
Move
Move!
Let's go.
Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far
Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far
I had no idea you'd travel
all the way out here...
Are the Persians joining us, too?
I better learn more language
Hmm... which language should I start with...
What's the next line?
When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive
Everyone inside listen up,
lay down your weapons
Hand over the treasure,
and surrender immediately
Surrender immediately!
We don't even know where the treasure is!
We're handing in crap!
There are so many caves
This place is like a maze
Which one should we go?
When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive
So...
Here, hold this
Didn't you say the map looks
different when it's placed in water?
There's water here, let's give it a try
If you don't come out and surrender,
we'll kill everyone
Kill everyone!
Listen to me, we shouldn't be
fighting amongst ourselves
Let's join forces and
defeat them, follow me!
Na-Lan
I have indeed found what I'm looking for
I have indeed found what I'm looking for
Changgong
I will prove to everyone today
I am truly
the Supreme Master of Martial Arts!
Wow, these characters look beautiful!
But what do they mean?
Hey, college boy
Can you tell me what they say?
E, S, W, N
What does it mean?
East, South, West, North
The Three Stars do not go upside down...
The Three Stars do not go upside down
What?
The game of east south west north
I used to play it all the time when I was a kid
Three Stars... upside down...
Could it mean the direction here?
It's three in the afternoon now
so the east would be there
Take six steps east, 1... 2... 3...
It works!
I'm so clever!
You already are the Supreme Master
Haven't I lost to you already?
I don't want a fake reputation
I have to defeat you with my sword
We should have left the maze by now
This map is amazing
Wei, how did you figure it out?
I'm good at anything,
as long as I don't need to use my head
There's more ahead...
Na-Lan disobeyed my orders
by heading in first
So what if he's superior in Martial Arts
It's the age of firearm
Bring out the cannon!
I'll show them what supreme power is!
Light the torch
What is this?
Some sort of trap
What's the next line in the song?
Big changes shall fall upon us now
Is that related to this?
Yes, I think so
It may have something
to do with these characters
The word Big
There's Change
Maybe we should follow
the order of the line?
We got it!
Come
We made it
It's your turn!
But I don't know how to read
And I can't remember which
characters you stepped on
Here, let me teach you the first character
Big, try to find it
Big
Yes
I see it!
Come!
What is it?
Here, let me help you
Be careful!
Wait, nobody move
I think we aren't supposed to
step on two characters at the same time
What should we do?
This isn't fun anymore
Hold on, I think I know what to do
Anything that won't
require me to use my brain
Tell me
This is Big
Which one is Change?
This one
That one with three dots
I see it, it's this one
Listen to me
I'm gonna count to three,
and you jump as high as you can
I promise you'll be fine
Listen
Didn't I say you'd be fine?
Yeah
But why didn't you just directly jump over?
You didn't have to make it so complicated
Told you I don't use my head a lot
The next character
Which one is it?
I think it's Come
Where is the word?
It should be... behind there
How are we gonna jump over?
Just jump over at the count of 3
And then you can jump back here to me
Okay
Wait, can you try to be a little more gentle?
Fine
Well?
I thought you know the flying skill
How come you're this heavy?
Are you calling me fat?
No
Fat and heavy are two different things
Next character!
Gotta let them know, physical
combat is no longer the trend...
Gotta let them know, physical
combat is no longer the trend...
Release!
Mother!
You...
Open the door!
How come your ring is on my finger?
Just keep it then
What is this place?
Wow, there really is a treasure!
Come help me move it down
Are you okay?
Watch out!
Father! Mother!
Mother, are you all right?
Are you okay?
Who are you?
What is this?
Emperor Ming's hidden treasure...
No
The Manchurian Army plans to get rid of me
I'm tired of military life anyways
I have the Emperor Ming treasure now
I will be the richest man in the world!
No!
Get over here.
What do you want? Let go of me!
Open it
So what if you're strong?
You still can't open it!
You need a brain for that!
You listen to me, if you let us go
We'll open it for you, right?
Okay, deal!
The seven elements added with three
All the fortune will come alive
The seven elements added with three...
All the fortune will come alive
How do seven elements add to three?
The seven elements of learning...
that adds to our fortune...
Is it what I think it is...
The seven elements added with three...
All the fortune will come alive
Judge Liu had to learn how to read
before he could pass the Imperial Exam
Liu was the best at mathematics
Mathematics...
Seven elements added with three...
it's a group of numbers
Seven plus three equals ten
Means 7310
Then 7304
Means 7321
It's open
Let go of her.
Get lost!
Are you okay?
I was born to humble beginnings,
and understand the hardship of my people
I work hard every day in order to stay alive
I fought to stay warm and fed
conquering the world with my spade
A simple motive,
but I end up becoming the Emperor
I'm rich but I'm trapped in the Palace
Darn!
Shut up, I know how to read
Darn! This is not what I wanted
What I love most is my spade
This farming spade kept me alive
It helped me build a new empire
When I stole a chicken
from the widow next door
My spade enabled me to dig
a hole to cook the chicken
The Beggar's Chicken dish,
cooked with five different spices
It was delicious!
So my most valued treasure
is none other than...
this spade
What's going on?
Get out of here, quick!
Changgong!
Changgong!
Go...
Father!
Go...
Changgong!
Go!
Changgong!
Changgong, come out please
I finally realize what my real treasure is
Come out please, Changgong!
Come out please!
Changgong... don't you remember?
We have yet to complete our sonata
Changgong!
Father!
He's fine!
Today is the grand opening of
Emperor Ming's Theme Park
Today is the grand opening of
Emperor Ming's Theme Park
It is also the second day of the
discovery of a rare treasure
And what is the treasure?
It is this fantastic spade
I am holding in my hand
With this spade,
we are able to farm our lands
With this spade,
we are able to farm our lands
With farming,
we are able to have food to eat
As long as we have food to eat,
we are able to stay alive
So staying alive is
the most important thing of all!
