The universe consisted of three groups: Immortals, mortals, and
devils. Every century, there was a duel between a representative
from the realm of immortals and a rep from the realm of devils
to determine who would be in charge of the universe. Each rep
was selected from a realm of mortals (In other words, there was
one mortal to fight for the immortals and one mortal to fight
for the devils).
Because the devils lost every century, the head devil (Chu
Teet Wah) decided to instill his devil seeds into a human being.
That human being happens to be the wife of Do Fan Sin (Law
Lok Lam), a good man who has the ability to fight the devils.
The couple has a son together named Ah Yat (Roger Kwok).
Later, the wife gets pregnant with a son of the head devil. The
head devil planned it this way because he knew that Ah Yat was
a rep for the immortals in the next duel of the century, so by
making his son the rep for the devils, the brothers would be fighting
and in turn, the universe would collapse and be his. The head
devil has three devils working for him, Yeung Ma, Fat Ma, and
Yum Ma (female). Do Fan Sin and the head devil eventually get
into a fight, and while Do Fan Sin locked the head devil permanently
into some trap that he can't get out of, he dies. The new born
baby between his wife and the head devil, in the name of Ah
Yuet (Dicky Cheung), is missing and so is Ah Yat.
A granny with high magical power, Popo, finds both babies, Ah
Yat and Ah Yuet, and takes them and raises them with her own daughter,
Kiu Kiu (Chan On Ying). After being raised in the mountains
for 20 years, Ah Yat and Ah Yuet decide that it's their time to
go on some fun adventures and explore the world, making endless
troubles along the way. They ditch their moderator, Kiu Kiu, in
the forest and start wandering around.
Ah Yat and Ah Yuet's first stop was the Emperor's Palace, purely
out of curiosity, where they met Ching Ching (Carol Yeung).
They somehow get involved in the crown prince's queer illness.
After the two boys heal the prince (he was possessed by a devil)
with the magical skills they have, the Emperor gives them the
royal title "Yat Yuet San Hup" and a big house with
lots of money.
Here comes an important and entertaining side character, in the
name of Yin Pin Tin (Lau Ka Fai). He is a professional
hitman who possesses high skills of kung fu and is quite willing
to do anything as long as he gets paid. His first encounter with
Ah Yat and Ah Yuet was during the days the brothers were ordered
to find some sinners and execute them. Yin Pin Tin did all the
dirty work for them and charged them high sums of money. They
also took some flying lessons from him because they needed to
escape from Kiu Kiu when she found them and tortured them for
ditching her.
Yin Pin Tin later meets a woman thief named Kong Ling
(Ng Wing Hung), who is brilliant and quick minded. They partner
up to get some money but being a thief that she is, she takes
off with all the money and he's after her. As she is being chased
after by her enemies, Yin Pin Tin saves her and they somehow get
together (it's mostly Kong Ling thinking that he likes her, but
he's actually just a playboy). But after they spend a night together,
Kong Ling mysteriously disappears.
Meanwhile, both Ah Yat and Ah Yuet fall in love with Ching Ching
and do anything to impress her badly. Ching Ching is a rich, spoiled,
high-nosed, stubborn brat who pretend not to like them but in
fact, she likes Ah Yat. But Ching Ching has a fiance from her
birth, and he is suppose to appear with a golden key to the lock
that she has as an anklet. Though she realizes that, she forgets
about it and goes on to like Ah Yat anyway.
By some coincidence, Ah Yuet, while being chased after by one
of his enemies, meet two sisters (I'll call them Gold and Silver).
The two girls decide it's their fate that he appeared before them,
so they claim that he is their husband. Ah Yuet is absolutely
horrified by the ugliness of Gold and Silver sisters, so he does
whatever it takes to escape from them.
While in the process of running away from Gold and Silver, Ah
Yuet coincidentally goes to the house of Yeung Ma, one of the
three devils that worked for the head devil. Yeung Ma wants HIS
son to be the representative of the devils so he controls his
son to absorb Ah Yuet's energy because that will make his son
stronger.
In the Heaven, the head God of the immortals sends a girl named
Heung Yee to test and see if Ah Yat has the capability of becoming
the next representative for the immortals. When Ah Yat finds out
that Ah Yuet is in danger at Yeung Ma's house, he goes there to
save Ah Yuet and Heung Yee helps him out. In the process of saving
Ah Yuet, Yeung Ma's son dies and Yeung Ma escapes.
Skipping some time- Ching Ching and Ah Yat still fight but they
do like each other. Ah Yuet has completely given up on getting
together with Ching Ching and he is busy still trying to run away
from Gold and Silver sisters. Then an event occurs- the crown
prince whom the brothers saved in the beginning wants Ching Ching!
She doesn't like the prince but the prince is determined to get
her, so Ah Yat and Ah Yuet decide to play a trick and send Kiu
Kiu to the palace instead. All goes well and the prince, who mistakes
Kiu Kiu for Ching Ching (he didn't get to see what Kiu Kiu looked
like at first), at last sees her ugliness and renounces his marriage
to her. So Ching Ching is safely back to Ah Yat and they're happy,
except Ching Ching is mad at him for no reason again and they
get in a huge fight.
Yin Pin Tin, while wondering whatever happened to Kong Ling and
kind of missing her, sees a gorgeous woman named Bing Yee
(Lau Sau Ping). She is a wife of Fat Ma, the other one of the
devils that worked for the head devil. Fat Ma captured her because
he needed her to absorb her energy to make him be a stronger devil.
Yin Pin Tin and Heung Yee (Chan Kit Yee - who appeared
out of nowhere because she is after all the devils) both save
Bing Yee from Fat Ma, and Yin Pin Tin and Bing Yee fall in love.
Fat Ma has a daughter, who later loses her memory temporarily.
Ah Yat is the one to find her and he takes her to his home, but
Ching Ching sees that and gets incredibly jealous and upset (remember,
they're still fighting) and tells him that it's over between them.
Ah Yat takes her home and names her Ding Ding (Chor Ka
Po) and takes care of her. But he only likes her as a friend,
while Ding Ding likes him otherwise.
Ding Ding finds her memory back soon and goes home.
Later on, Fat Ma captures Ching Ching to replace Bing Yee's role
of getting him energy. Ah Yat finds that out and goes to Fat Ma's
house and informs Ding Ding that her father is a devil. While
in the process of rescuing Ching Ching, Fat Ma attacks Ah Yat
but Ding Ding blocks him and dies instead. Yin Pin Tin and Heung
Yee together kill Fat Ma soon after.
By this time, the duel of the century is very nearly approaching
and it's Ah Yuet's time to almost turn into a devil because he
was born with devil's seeds. Heung Yee recognizes this and tries
to kill Ah Yuet, but when Ah Yat finds out, he claims that Ah
Yuet is his brother, that they have a same mother, and they grew
up together. Ah Yat tells Heung Yee that if she wants to kill
Ah Yuet, she'll have to kill him first.
When Ah Yuet realizes that he is set to be a devil, he begs his
brother to kill him. Ah Yat can only cry and mourn and he tries
to find a way to block Ah Yuet from turning into a devil but there
is no way except to kill him. Meanwhile, the head devil who is
trapped, orders the last of his personnels, Yum Ma (female devil),
to bring his son to rescue him. Yum Ma captures Ah Yuet and he
finally does turn into a devil.
Ah Yat and Ah Yuet are both after the Yat Yuet Sword (Sun &
Moon). Ah Yat needs the sword to kill the head devil and Ah Yuet
needs it to rescue his father from the wall he's trapped in. Ah
Yuet is the one to get it, and in the process, he almost kills
Ah Yat. At this point, he has completely turned into a devil.
Ah Yat is injured badly but Heung Yee dedicates all of her energy
to save him. Heung Yee instead, becomes decapitated but since
she was immortal to begin with, she goes back to Heaven she came
from.
Ah Yat and Ah Yuet finally fight together, but since Ah Yat represents
the 'good' side, he is obviously stronger. Ah Yat takes away the
sword from Ah Yuet and beats him to death. The moment he tries
to kill Ah Yuet, Ah Yuet says "Don't, we are brothers, remember?
We grew up together!" Ah Yat thinks of all the memories they
shared together and they hug each other, but Ah Yat still stabs
him to save the universe.
The head God and Heung Yee from Heaven tell Ah Yat that Ah Yuet
would reincarnate, because of the devil's blood he had spilled
when Ah Yat killed him. What he needs is a special blood transfusion,
which only Yin Pin Tin can do. So Ah Yat takes Ah Yuet's dead
body to Yin Pin Tin and begs him to transfer his blood to Ah Yuet
but he refuses at first, thinking that he might die from it instead.
He wouldn't even listen to Bing Yee's persuasion. But when he
sees that the head devil has taken over the universe, he gives
his blood to Ah Yuet and Ah Yuet reincarnates.
Together, Ah Yat and Ah Yuet partner up to power up their energy
and the sword gets divided into two (That's why it's called Twin
Swords ^^ ). They fight against the head devil together and finally
win, thus restoring the peace in the universe.
In the end, Ah Yat and Ching Ching finally decide to get married.
Yin Pin Tin and his love Bing Yee attend the wedding, but at that
moment, Kong Ling appears out of nowhere, pregnant! Yin Pin Tin
freaks out when he sees her, and Bing Yee and Kong Ling both freak
out at each other. The baby is obviously Yin Pin Tin's and the
three don't know what to do, so he takes off with Bing Yee and
Kong Ling goes after him.
Ah Yuet, who is in a really good mood, announces that he will
finally marry Gold and Silver sisters when Ah Yat's wedding is
over. But at the moment the wedding begins, a mysterious figure
appears and claims that he is Ching Ching's fiance!
That is the end of Mystery of the Twin Swords I. To be continued
in II.
