It's funny how nearly the same cast from the ultra-stupid version came back to do the ultra-arty version. Somehow I found "Ashes of Time" more entertaining now. Perhaps my tolerance is higher now. Their lives are all screwed up. Intertwined with each other.
Everything in the story relates to Ou-yang Feng, a hitman agent. where to begin... Huang Yao-shi promises to marry Mu-Rong Yang's sister (Mu-Rong Yin), knowing that Mu-Rong Yin and Mu-Rong Yang are the same person (split personality). Huang Yao-shi doesn't show up.
Mu-Rong Yang gets pissed. So 'he' hires Ou-yang Feng to kill Huang Yao-shi. Mu-Rong Yin on the other hand also hires Ou-yang Feng, but to kill Mu-Rong Yang, because 'he' desires to have 'her' and 'she' loves Huang Yao-shi. At the end of whole fiasco, Mu-Rong Yin / Yang goes
nuts after molesting Ou-yang Feng in his sleep (imagining that he is Huang Yao-shi, while Ou-yang Feng imagines 'he/she' is his sister-in-law / ex-lover. Mu-Rong Yin / Yang becomes a famous swordsman / woman who practices with 'his/her' reflection. End of that thread.

Huang Yao-shi is a good friend of Ou-yang Feng. He visits him in the dessert every year to drink wine. The reason he visits him every year is because he wants to get news of Ou-yang Feng back to Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law. With this excuse, Huang Yao-shi can see Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law
every year, because he secretly loves her. In addition, the Blind Swordsman's wife, Peach Blossom also loves Huang Yao-shi. One year at Ou-yang Feng's place, Huang Yao-shi kills a bunch of horse thieves. They'll come back later for revenge. The same year, Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law dies and
before croaking she gives him magic amnesia wine for Ou-yang Feng. Huang Yao-shi drank half it and ended up a hermit on Peach Blossom Island. Later, the Blind Swordsman is hired to kill the pissed horse thieves. He was killed before he could go back to visit his wife before going completely blind.
Ou-yang Feng later got Hong Chi to kill the horse thieves. Hong Chi
leaves eventually to become the Beggar Clan's leader. He leaves his business and goes back to his hometown after realizing that Huang Yao-shi will no longer visit him and that his sister-in-law / lover was dead. He swigs the last of the magic wine. He becomes the lord of the land there. Hong Chi and Ou-yang Feng duel to their deaths.


Understand?!
